IS IT MASONRY?

By BRO. F. G. OLIVER

(From The Builder, Anamosa, Iowa, March, 1915)

  

Is it Masonry 

To dare to take God's name in vain, 

Or be careful of our speech;

From evil thoughts and words refrain, 

And practice what we preach?

Is it Masonry 

To boast of your fine jewels,

Or purify your heart; 

To be a man and Mason 

And act a Mason's part? 

Is it Masonry 

To fail to help your brothers, 

Or your obligations fill? 

To leave it for the others, 

Or mean and say "I will"?

ACROSTIC

By L. B. M.

(From The Builder, Anamosa, Iowa, March, 1916)

  

• G rander than the lines that Pythagoras drew,  

• E ngraved on the hearts that ever are true, 

• O nward and beyond the science it ran, - 

• M asonry, the nature religion of man. 

• E nter thy temple, sweet spirit, and there 

• T ry us by compasses, level and square. 

• R ightly interpreting our mystical art 

• Y ou can speculate on with happy heart.
