the spirit of love that should perme-
ate every Lodge. This meeting on q
level, acting on the plumb and part
Ing on the square possesses a won
derful fascination for a brother Ma
son and draws him 10 the L.odEc,
"hcre 5000 Influences are mcG}cnte6
and upright prccept9 are Taught.
These ~intaeneas and pr&aepts keen
aim from places Of had rep,tc.
! believe it Is a good thing for
every man to have a place where he
cal go and forget tho strains, trials
and vexations Of life and the buffet
ings of the world. 1t puts new life
In him, makes him think more Of
home, more Of those for whom he
tolls and strives from moon to moon.
He goes back to his work and his
home a better man and assumes the
responsibilities Of life with renewed
energy and a more determined effort
to succeed. If 1t was not for the
Lodge room we would have more bad
men, more sin and more false friends.
therefore,, my brethren and friends,
let us tonight remember that we
took a sacred obligation, with
hands on yonder Book. We all know
what that obligation was. Let us re-
hearse 1t afresh tonight and inquire
OF ourselves II we are keeping and
practicing the same; and let us not
forget that there is a penalty con-
nected with that obligation, and that
we called on the Great Architect Of
the Universe to ever keep us in our
senses to keep and perform the same.
