The Masonic Trowel

THE MARCH OF MASONRY


There is no such thing as a state of Masonry. Masonry is forever the Mason learning, thinking, loving, praying and achieving, step by step, day by day. Every success opens the door to another opportunity for greater learning, for further progress, for steady improvement. We strive and fail, and find the truth that all success is created from the broken pieces of failure. Even as we grope in darkness and feel a sense of futility, we are in the process of growing, and Light comes to lead us into greater darkness, and out again into More Light.

What do we mean when we refer to Masonic failure? There is no failure in Masonry except that which comes when we lose sight of the real goal of achievement, the attainment of the Middle Chamber. All our efforts are wasted unless we forever keep in mind that Masonic education, Masonic training, Masonic study, must be directed toward final triumph, which is at-one-ment with the Grand Architect of the Universe.

Masonry has been described as "the realization of God by the practice of Brotherhood." In those few words are revealed clearly the sole purpose of our Institution. Why is Brotherhood a slow evolutionary movement instead of a natural and spontaneous condition? Why are there wars and why does man seek to destroy man and even the very earth, God's beautiful gift to man? Because Brotherhood must be established upon a sharing of spiritual qualities. In all countries where Masonry is firmly established, there you will find the natural union of hearts and minds and- peace. Let the skeptical and the enemies of Masonry ponder over this fact.

Masonry, let us remember, is "the realization of God through not the theory, but the practice of Brotherhood."
