The Try Square

The Try Square
Masonry is not simply a ritual; it is a way of living. It offers us a plan, a method, a faith by which we may build our days and years into a character so strong and true that nothing, not even death, can destroy it. Each of us has in his heart a little try-square called conscience, by which to test each thought and deed and word, whether it be true or false. By as much as a man honestly applies that test in his own heart, and in his relations with his fellows, by so much will his life be happy, stable and true.
Courtesy is a mark of good breeding. It commands respect. It is the polish that welcomes the customer, cheers the fellow worker, and makes the day easier for everyone.
