**DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF SYMBOLS IN MASONRY, ON THE 1ST OF EACH MONTH WE WILL SHOWCASE A DIFFERENT SET OF SYMBOLS**
The
Bee Hive is an emblem of industry and recommends the practice of that virtue
to all created beings, from the highest seraph in heaven to the lowest reptile
of dust. It teaches us, that as we came into the world as rational and intelligent
beings; so we should ever be industrious ones, never sitting down contented
while our fellow-creatures around us are in want, when it is in our power
to relieve them without incovienence to ourselves.
The
Pot of Incense is an emblem of a pure heart, which is always an acceptable
sacrifice to God; and, as this glows with fervent heat, so should our hearts
continually glow with gratitude to God for the manifold blessing and comforts
we enjoy.
The
Book of Constitutions, guarded by the Tyler's Sword, reminds us that we should
be ever watchful and guarded in our thoughts, words and actions, particularly
when before the enemies of Masonry, ever bearing in remembrance those truly
Masonic virtues, Silence and Circumspection.
