14.01.2022 THE OLD MASTER’S WAGES I MET A DEAR OLD MAN TODAY WHO WORE A MASONIC PIN.... IT WAS OLD AND FADED, LIKE THE MAN ITS EDGES WERE WORN QUITE THIN. I APPROACHED THE PARK BENCH WHERE HE SAT, TO GIVE THE OLD BROTHER HIS DO. I SAID, I SEE YOU’VE TRAVELED EAST HE SAID, I HAVE, HAVE YOU? I SAID, I HAVE, AND IN MY DAY BEFORE THE ALL SEEING SUN, I PLAYED IN THE RUBBLE WITH JUBALA, JUBALO AND JUBALUM. HE SHOUTED, DON’T LAUGH AT THE WORK MY SON IT’S GOOD AND SWEET AND TRUE. AND IF YOU’VE TRAVELED AS YOU SAID YOU SHOULD GIVE THESE THINGS THEIR DUE. THE WORD, THE SIGN, THE TOKEN, THE SWEET MASONIC PRAYER. THE VOW THAT ALL HAVE TAKEN WHO HAVE CLIMBED THE INNER STAIR. THE WAGES OF A MASON ARE NEVER PAID IN GOLD, BUT THE GAIN COMES FROM CONTENTMENT WHEN YOU’RE WEAK AND GROWING OLD. YOU SEE I’VE CARRIED MY OBLIGATIONS FOR ALMOST FIFTY YEARS, IT HAS HELPED ME THROUGH THE HARDSHIPS AND THE FAILURES FULL OF TEARS. NOW I’M LOSING MY MIND AND MY BODY DEATH IS NEAR, BUT I DON’T DESPAIR; I’VE LIVED MY LIFE UPON THE LEVEL, AND I’M DYING ON THE SQUARE. SOMETIMES, THE GREATEST LESSONS ARE THOSE THAT ARE LEARNED ANEW, AND THE OLD MAN IN THE PARK TODAY HAS CHANGED MY POINT OF VIEW. TO ALL MASONIC BROTHERS; THE ONLY SECRET IS TO CARE. MAY YOU LIVE UPON THE LEVEL. MAY YOU PART UPON THE SQUARE.

13.01.2022 Alexandra Brethren cooking up a storm at Emerald North State School Fete

10.01.2022 Brethren, we've survived for 300+ years and have shown continued fortitude during times of darkness. We wish to remind that we combat that darkness or unknown w...ith the tools that have been impressed upon us by our beloved fraternity. To be a Mason is to fight ignorance with Logic, unconfirmed information with critical thinking & prudence, and above all keeping all passions within due bounds while remembering our morals and convictions. Things may pass and next week we'll all be back to complaining about the minutes and how much the roof repairs cost. However, if not this will be your finest hour. When our obligations are put to the test and why they're so important. We're a family and we'll be here to take care of each other. So until things finally calm down and we're able to replenish the toilet paper keep all our brethren in your thoughts and prayers. Take care of our family and let the GAOTU be your guiding light.

05.01.2022 I think we can all relate!

02.01.2022 The point within a circle is a common symbol used in Freemasonry. Like many masonic symbols the origin of the point in the circle is unknown. In carvings from A...ncient Eqypt the Alpha and Omega symbols representing God often as a circle with a point between them. In the case of the Egyptian symbol the two veritcal lines are replaced with snakes. Regardless of what the origin of the symbol is, Freemasonry has adopted to represent what is, in the opinion of this writer, one of our most important ideas in Freemasonry. In all interpretations of this image, the point in the center represents the individual man or mason. Taking just the circle it is a reminder that we are all circumscribed with a circle in our lives and those who enter that circle, both in a literal sense (people we see) and figurative sense (people who our actions may have impact), have a claim on our kind offices. Our good will to our fellow man and our fellow mason is paramount to the moral ideals behind Freemasonry. It can also be said that the same circle is a dividing line between our internal passions and a mason's duty to God and his fellow man. A mason should never allow his internal passions, prejudices and selfish interests to pass outside the circle. There are many other references to the circle with the point in its center, there are also just as many interpretations of it's meaning through out history and in the masonic fraternity. As an example some say it is in reference to the candidate circumabulating the masonic altar. The two lines on either side of the circle, for Freemasons represent St. John the Baptist on the left and St. John the Evangelist the right. Two prominent Saints in Freemasonry because of their connection with what is deemed the Mother lodge in Jerusalem. St. John Lodge of Jerusalem was first believed to be dedicated to St. John the Baptist first and then St. John the Evangelist. The Feast of St. John the Baptist falls on the Summer Solstice, the Feast of St. John the Evangelist falls on the Winter Solstice so the lines are also often said to represent the Summer and Winter Solstice.
