You may as well endeavour to extinguish the sun by pelting it with snow-balls , or to cut rocks in pieces with a razor , as to make any genial impression on the mind of a professed cowan . Masonic Ehbjjms . —Chalk , ' charcoal , and earthen pan , or clay , are the

emblems which were adopted by our ancient Brethren to express certain qualities , in the absence of which no progress in Masonry can be expected . Nothing is more free for the use of man than chalk , which seldom touches but leaves its trace behind ; nothing more fervent than charcoal , for , when well lighted , no metal is able to resist its force ; nothing is more zealous than clay , our mother earth , who will open her arms to receive us when all our friends forsake us . — Bookoftlie Lodge .
