What A Masonic Lodge Represents.
WHAT A MASONIC LODGE REPRESENTS .
IT should never be forgotten that a Masonic Lodge represents vastly more than an assembly of Brethren and friends with a hall arranged for the enactment of prescribed ceremonies . The Lodge in Freemasonry symbolically represents , in its primary significance , the whole great universe . It suggests that outward Temple in which the Supreme Grand Architect of the Universe
resides . Tho heavens above and the earth beneath are the dwelling place of the Infinite Creator and Ruler of all things—and the Divine immanence is universal . Of this presence of Jehovah in the vast natural universe we have the sign and suggestion in a Masonic Lodge . Then , in a more technical sense , a Masonic Lodge represents the Ark of the Covenant , constructed hy
Bezaleel according to a pattern divinely furnished , wherein stood the sacred emblems of worship and of sacrifice . In much the same manner of representation it calls to mind King Solomon's Temple , also builded by
command of the Most High God and devoted to solemn and blessed uses . Do Craftsmen consider , as they should , the significance of a Masonic Lodge which represents historically and symbolically so much of Ancient glory—so much of the special revelation which Jehovah has made of himself ?
A Masonic Lodge has spiritual significance as being the symbol of the life of man . It signifies the temple wherein dwells the individual soul . " Know ye not that ye aro the Temple of God , and that the spirit of God
dwelleth in you ? " is the suggestive enquiry of an Apostle . It is a grand thought—one that moves the devout nature to grateful praise and lofty aspiration—thus to be reminded of the Divine indwelling with a human soul , So comes the fervent prayer :
" And chiefly Thou , 0 Spirit , who dost prefer Before all Temples the upright heart and pure , Instruct me , for Thou knowst ; what in me is dark Illumine . What is low , raise and support . "
Whatever else the Lodge represents to faithful and well instructed Craftsmen , its moral significance in the way last noted should be recognised . Its subjective symbolism should be appreciated . Thus will come incitements of truth and duty , with a growing purpose to make the spiritual edifice of human life strong , fair and symmetrical . —" Freemasons "Repository . "
