AV'luil- tho limp is to tlm mmil ut tile student of geography, or the ohiirt to the mnriiier, live symliols to tho miml of ovary trim Mason. .Take that symbol of-justice be tween mini, by ivluoli every Mason is taught to stpmro ids actions. It Is only a simjilu implomont ttsuil by the . buildor, from timo immumorial, ivilli wbicli to lay out bis work and'to correct bis angles.— Only lids mid nothing more to the un taught meclmnic. To Him- it is servicea ble bi lbo prosecution of ids trade,, but conveys no admonition: it reveals no du ly— it prcscnls no moral. To the well-in structed Mason, thutimplcmcnt,dust-eov- cred mid begrimmed with earth, symboli zes great mural--truths that underlie the whole structure of society. Therein lie sees divine principles asserted—undevia- ting laws, written by God's own lingers, established.' • Eookltig at that symbol'of a just and honest life, lie recalls the solemn pledges lie lias made lo tile brethren that le will square his actions by the square of virtue, mid susceptible to holy promptings must he lie who does not feel strengthened iugood iutcntionsnnd stimulated toacor- rect and upright life whenever lie looks upon- the symbol of Masonic justice bp- tween man and man. Another of tiio most common injple- menls used by .the builder by which ivo ure taught to circumscribe and keep our passions within bounds, is onu of tho an cient implements of operative or practical Masonry, lint it is also almost ns anpiont as a symbol or speculative or moral Ma sonry. Invested with the importance with”Which speculative Masonry lias giv en it, the compass becomes something more than a tool with which to strike cir cles or describe courses. Those taught in symbolic mysteries know that the most valuable tenets of Freemasonry may he found between its points, and that while they keep within that charmed circle it is impossible they Should materially err.— And lie who reads moral-lessons, in sym bols which ho sties, or perhaps handles ov- cry duy v must be..imbucd by litem to some extent, and lie who heeds their teachings cannot he a Had titan. Instead of being “a spectacle to amuse full-grown hoys,” tho symbolism of Ma sonry becomes a system of mutual assis tance ami encouragement. In tho night of misfortune.- it teaches human brother hood; in it world lying in wickedness, it inculcates rectitude of life: in the midst of passion and turmoil, it enjoins a duo re straint upon the propensities' of our na ture. lieeauso of a man’s perverseness it may not accomplish all this, but its ten dency ever and always is in that direction, and by'so.much are mankind benefited.
