THE MASONIC BEATITUDES .

BY BEO . R . H . TAYLOR , NEVADA . [ If any brother can read the following lines without feeling his pulses quicken , then the true fire of the Craft has not illumined his soul . —New York Dispatch . ' ] MY brother of the Mystic Tie , Wherever you abide

, Or on Nevada ' s mountains high , Or by the ocean ' s tide ; Whate ' er your station , rank , or fame , Where ' er your native land—Because you bear a Mason ' s name , Here is a Mason ' s HAND !

As you and I our journey take Along life ' s rugged way , No adverse fate our Faith may shake , Or turn our Love astray ; The bond between us , triple-strong , No power on earth may part ;

To yon this tribute of my song Goes with a Mason ' s HEART ! While in the quarries of the Craft We work with one accord , A Mason ' s blessing let me waft To all who keep the Word ;

With Charity to all mankind , And Faith in God above ; And these with gentle Hope entwined , Accept a Mason ' s LOVE !
