THE POT OF INCENSE

[paragraph continues] Is definitely an emblem of the pure heart, that is always a suitable sacrifice towards the Deity so that as this lights up with fervent warmth, so should our hearts constantly glow with gratitude towards the great and beneficent Author in our existence, for that manifold benefits and conveniences we love.

THE BEE-HIVE

[paragraph continues] Is definitely an emblem of industry, and suggests the concept of that virtue to any or all produced creatures, in the greatest seraph in paradise towards the cheapest reptile from the dust.

Whenever we have a survey of Character, we percieve guy in the infancy, more helpless and indigent compared to brute creation: he lies languishing for several days, several weeks, and years, totally not capable of supplying nutrition for themself, of protecting from the attack from the wild monsters from the area, or sheltering themself in the inclemencies from the weather.

[paragraph continues] It could have pleased the truly amazing Creator of paradise and earth to possess made guy separate from other creatures but because dependence is among the most powerful bonds of society, mankind were created determined by one another for defense and security, because they therefore enjoy better possibilities of fulfilling the responsibilities of reciprocal love and friendship. Thus was guy created for social and active life—the noblest area of the work of GOD and that he which will so demean themself as to not be trying to increase the most popular stock of understanding and understanding, might be considered a drone within the hive of Character, a useless person in society, and not worthy in our protection as Masons.

[paragraph continues] Shows that justice will eventually overtake us and even though our ideas, words,

and actions might be hidden in the eyes of guy, yet that

ALL-SEEING EYE,

whom the sun's rays, MOON, and STARS obey, and under whose careful care even COMETS perform their stupendous revolutions, pervades the inmost recesses from the human HEART, and can reward us based on our merits.
