- The Masonic Lodge is a symbol of the world as it was thought to be in the olden times. Our ancient brethren had a profound insight when they saw the world as a Temple, overhung by a starry canopy by night.Lighted by the journing sun by day. Wherein man goes forth to his Labour on a checkerboard of Light and shadows,seeking to produce on earth the law and order of Heaven.
- The visible world was but a picture of reflection of the invisible, and at its center stood the altar of sacrifice,Obligation, and adoration.
- So at the center of our Lodge stands the same Altar older than all Temples,as old as life itself, a focus of Faith and fellowship, at once a symbol and shrine of that unseen element of thought and yarning of which all men are aware and which no one can define.
