 Masonic quotes by Brothers

THE MIDDLE CHAMBER

It is an atmosphere of silence and reverence. The Fellowcraft has brushed shoulders with the world. And now for a brief moment he pauses. He has reached a point in the road that marks the end of the day's work. Faithfully he has labored to overcome difficulties, which were really "blessings in disguise." Because of these obstacles, he is strong. He has learned many things. The superfluities of life are now seen in their true light. Now he knows the real meaning of wages due a Fellowcraft, the gifts of the Divine Creator. His wages are Supreme Gifts, Corn, Wine, and Oil. They are his "plenty"; not too much, not too little, just what is due him. Now he realizes that the presence of the One before him was with him on his journey up a Flight of Winding Stairs. He is offered Peace, Rest, and Strength.

The hallowed Middle Chamber breathes the air of Love, Tolerance, Service and Sacrifice. The Temple is not yet completed, but the Fellowcraft no longer questions the plans of the Architect. In this Middle Chamber there is no false barriers. The Fellowcraft has learned the fictitiousness of creeds that separate man from man. The Symbol before him is the Living Proof that men are brothers. It is only a brief pause. But now strong and unafraid the Fellowcraft resumes his journey.
