Manufacturer’s Summer Lay-AwayMembers of Lebanon Forest Lodge
A,F. & A.M., No. 133, together with
a number of visiting Brethren par
aded to the Main Street United
Church on Sunday evening where
they occupied The centre pews ana
listened to a splendid address deliv
ered by the pastor Rev. A. E. Elliott,
a member of the order. About sev
enty-five Masons were present with
V. W. Bro. w. W. Taman acting as
Director of Ceremonies. The choir
furnished music. An anthem was
sung with Mrs. N. Hockey taking an
obligato part. Misses Mabel Follick
Helen Dignan and Mrs, N. Hockey sang a trio and the male quartette
also sang.
Mr. Elliott took for the basis of
his remarks 1 Kings 7:21-22 “And
He set up the pillars in the porch
of the temple; and he set up the
right pillar and called the name
thereof Jachin; and he set up the left pillar and called the name
thereof Boaz. And upon the top ol’
the pillars was lily-work; so was the
work of the pillars finished.” The
speaker said that it has been sug
gested that the pillars had been
placed in front of the porch in ol
der to support the roof of the ves
tibule. However he believed 1
more likely that the pillars had been
placed there as symbols, and it is as
symbols in comparison with human
life, work and character with which
we are concerned. The pillars sug
gest strength but the symbolism is greatly enhanced when we find that
at tire top there is the lily-work and
pomegranates. The pillars then
speak to us of strength and beauty.
No strength can be perfect unless to
the strength there is added beauty.
The pilars speak to us of massive
ness and of stability, of strength
and power.
We are living in an age when
strength is worshipped. On one hand
we have Hitler, a man of strength
and power and we see this power
abused in the persecution of the
Jews. Mussolini is another person
of strength and power and that po
wer has been used for the crush
ing of a helpless people. Strength
is only perfect when joined with
beauty. In business there are great
corporations that represent power
and efficiency but too often the pp-
wer is usel for crushing t-h.e weaken
There are three qualities that re
present strength. First .Sincerity.
Carlysle tells us that men may dif
fer in character and achievement
but if a man is sincere he is prepar
ed to give him due credit. Sincerity
is truth that is lived in the life of a
Christian or a Mason. A Mason must
be sincere with regard to his obliga
tions and the principles of his craft.
The Second Courage. A man must
possess courage in order to live out
or express the principles of his or
der and not merely in a physical way
but in a moral and spiritual way. If
we are going to live up to, the stan
dards or the order we must have
courage enough not to let masonry
’down. Third Endurance. Possess
ing the .power to- see a thing through
In building the temple of Christian
life a man must have the spirit of
endurance, not giving up even when,
there is no one to cheer us on. The
test of a strong man is when he can
carry on when things are against
him. “He that endureth to the end
shall be saved.”
The lily work at
pillars is suggestive
beauty. There are . _
that represent beauty which
be joined with strength. The qual
ity of Gentleness. It does not befit
a member of the Masonic Order or
of the church to be unnecessarily
harsh or critical with his brethren
or his fellow men. Second Brother
ly Love. This term is familiar to
our lips, but is it .being .put into
practice? There is nothing
can take the place of human __
sympathy and friendship. You look
t$'a member of the Masonic Order
help a man when he is down. Bro-
"tractive thing. Then there is Self
Sacrifice. The Scriptures say that
in the place wlhere they crucified
Christ there was a garden. Beauty
was associated with the place of the
Crucifixion. Self Sacrifice is always
a lovely thing and relates itself so
splendidly to strength. Self sacri
fice and service should be the daily
task of all Masons. ’
In thinking of Christ in relation
to strength aij.d beauty one is re
minded of the lines of Tennyson in
“In Memoriam.” “Strong Son of
God, Immortal Love.” We think of
him as the Lion of Judah and then
sing of him as Gentle Jesus; strength
on the one hand and beauty on the
other. For sincerity, courage, en
durance, gentleness, brotherly love,
self sacrifice and service there is no
parallel in history to the life of
Christ. His was the only perSect
life. While we may not reach per
fection we should strive for strength
and beauty and some day we shall
be pillars in the temple
