Masonic Pledges Of A True Harod.

MASONIC PLEDGES OF A TRUE HAEOD ,

By Bro . Giles P . Yates . We will not " faint nor weary" in well-doing , 1 ST or e ' er betray the trust we have assign'd us ; Nor will we cease the good we crave pursuing , JSTor look behind us , -Though Error ' s cloud is o ' er our path careering ,

And Falsehood mutters deep its hollow thunder ; Their sombre pall , Truth ' s sunlight , spirit-cheering , Will cleave asunder . Who cannot ride , to ruin may endeavour , Or raise distrust , that monster hydra-headed , In thoughtless hearts , who to new idols ever Love to be wedded .

To Hate and Envy we have breathed defiance , Our hearts are laid on Love ' s most sacred altar ; Led by those twin fire-pillars , Truth and Science We cannot falter .

We will be workers in the field before ns With cheerfulness , nor deem the task a burden ; And when success , though small at times , sniiles , o ' er ufy Be that our guerdon .
