FROM THE EAST
The goldenrod is yellow; the corn is turning brown;
The trees in apple orchards, with fruit are bending down.
The gentian’s bluest tinges are curling in the sun;
In dusty pods the milkweed, its hidden silk has spun.
From dewy lanes at morning the grapes’ sweet odors rise;
At noon the roads all flutter with yellow butterflies.
By all these lovely tokens September days are here;
With summer’s best of weather, and autumn’s best of cheer.
------ Helen Hunt Jackson (from “September”)
MASONIC LIGHT
“Early Lodges were designated with the wording: “Lodge of the Holy St. John at Jerusalem” as part of their titles. That practice has been discontinued, but we still have our “Lodge of the Holy St. (Sts.) John at Jerusalem,” from which we are supposed to come. That Lodge is now, as it ever had been, a dream Lodge, an ideal which we may hope to attain. Possibly it is at Jerusalem. More likely it is in our hearts.”
Wor. Brother Elbert Bede (Oregon)
HOW TRUE!
Oh, yes, we are all Craftsmen and very proud to be;
We wear our pins and rings for everyone to see.
But let us pose the question, even though the thought may sting
Would you know me for a Mason, if you did not see the ring?
True me show Tenets of our ancient hallowed Creed.
Not just on coat and finger, but by words and deeds.
There’s one thing to remember, if I’ve learned my lessons well
My deeds do more convincing than my finger or lapel.
