y The Lobster
The Missouri Freemason says don't
be like a lobster. For the lobster,
when left high and dry among the
rocks, has not sense or energy
enough to work his way back to
the sea, but waits for the sea to
come to him. If it does not come
he remains where he is and dies, al
though a little effort would enable
him to reach the waves. which are
perhaps tossing and tumbling within
a few feet of him, There is a tide
j in human affairs hat sometimes casts
men into "dry places" and leaves
them there like a stranded lobster. If
they choose to lie where the break
ers have flung them, expecting some
grand billow to take them on its
shoulders and carry them into pros
: peritv, it is not likely that their hopes
= will be realized. Nor is it right that
= they should be. You must not ex-
, pect others to help you till you try
!, to help yourself.
