THE EXPLANATION or MASONRY.

The nippant and minimizing brother often at

scope Of Masonry. This may seem perfectly
proper to he undertaken by an intelligent. we'll
Ncrsed and we-read brother. but for young or
unlettered inexperienced member to reach out
10 explain 10 the "profane" what is Freemason-
ny is not only presumptuous 1T is an offence
against the order. II is true the question Is
easier asked than answered and only the hip
pant will readily answer it; buJ the more ex-
perienced and intelligent craftsman will hesitate
before giving an answer "offhand."
treemasonry like almost every important
subject is Judged from the standpoint OF the in
telligence of each individual Mason. There are
some who are sdhdevoted to the good things Of
the table that their views are limited to the
social enjoyment Of the banquet room. There
are others whose highest conception OF Masonry
is in proper understanding Of the modes OF
recognition. A large class of our members
consider the letter of the ritual or the iooee
work as the highest aim for Mason to reach for;
consider it of the highest Importance In fac''
some of this class think II the all in Freena-

what else is there in Masonry? Masonry has
been defined as a living principle and must
be taken by the true Mason as principle To
live by. And nothing can explain Masonry bet
ter than the upright. honest and truth-loving
life of its members.
