A Freemason's Christmas Thoughts.
But shine still brighter , that the Avorld may see , The Craft is noble , virtuous , and free , — Thus march we on , till at the Throne of God Our thoughts have brought us , —hitherward we trod , Through paths of heavenly science ; Ave admire The faculties of intellectual fire ,
And trace them onward , perfected complete , To Him , Whose fountain is the Mercy ' s Seat . And Nature ' s secrets are unveiled to view , The principles of truth , our minds imbue : Our minds thus modelled by tbe mystic poAver , That virtuescienceor their Champions shower ;
, , Learn yet one lesson more—a solemn truth , Which bids us contemplate our lives from youth , And ask , —What have they been 1 and reason Avhy The "Perfect Mason" does not fear to die ? The powers of death for him can bring no fear , His path of duty ' s marked—his future ' s clear ,
0 1 happy he , who , Avhen the hand of death , Is laid upon him , when bis fleeting breath Is flick'ring in the eventide of days , Bids all around farewell , —to fix his gaze , On Light of Heaven within the Lodge on High , Where reigns THE ARCHITECT in Majesty ,
Where Spirits wing their airy flight above The Courts of Heaven , where , eternal love Reigns boundless in the Home we live to see , And to inhabit in eternity . Where , —gazing back amidst the sacred mirth , Of heaven , we'll ponder on our walks on earth ,
And bless the day when first we pausing trod , Upon that threshold , Avhere the name of God , We uttered as the only source of trust , We had on earth when fearing danger ' s thrust ; And call the time well spent that made us share The good once taught us on the sacred " Square . " Poole , November , 1877 .
