Something to Think About
MASONIC EDUCATION PROGRAM
Be
Careful How You Live
A
Living Mason
His
name is John. He has wild hair, wears a T-shirt with holes in it,
jeans and no shoes. This was literally his wardrobe for his entire
four years of college. He was the top of his class. Kind of esoteric
and very, very bright. He became a Mason recently while attending
college. After moving to his new town, he finds that down the street
from his new apartment is a well-dressed, very conservative Lodge.
One day John decides to go there after work. He walks in with shoes,
jeans, his work shirt, and long hair. The Lodge has already started
and so John starts looking for a seat.
The
Lodge is completely packed and he can't find a seat. By now the
Brethren are really looking a bit uncomfortable, but no one says
anything. John gets closer and closer to the East and, when he
realizes there are no seats, he squats down right on the carpet.
(Although perfectly acceptable behavior at a college fellowship,
trust me, this had never happened in this Lodge before!)
By
now the Brethren are really uptight, and the tension in the air is
thick. About this time, the Secretary realizes that from way at the
back of the Lodge, a Past Master is slowly making his way toward
John.
Now
the Past Master is in his eighties, has silver-gray hair, and a
three-piece suit. A good man, very elegant, very dignified, and very
courtly.
He
walks with a cane and, as he starts walking toward this boy, everyone
is saying to themselves that you can't blame him for what he's going
to do. How can you expect a man of his age and of his background to
understand some college kid in the Lodge? It takes a long time for
the man to reach the boy.
The
Lodge is utterly silent except for the clicking of the man's cane.
All eyes are focused on him. You can't even hear anyone breathing.
The Secretary can't even continue with the "Minutes" until
the Past Master does what he has to do. And now the Lodge watches as
this elderly man drops his cane on the floor. With great difficulty,
he lowers himself and sits down next to John and welcomes him so he
won't be alone.
When
the Secretary gains control, he says, "What I'm about to say,
you will never remember. What you have just seen, you will never
forget."
"Be
careful how you live. You may be the only Mason some people will ever
meet."
