Brethren, this Short Talk Bulletin Podcast episode was written by Rev Dr Bro Joseph Fort Newton and first published in June 1927. How familiar the phrase is. No Lodge is ever opened or closed, in due form, without it. Yet how few know how old it is, much less what a deep meaning it has. Like so many old and lovely things, it is so near to us that we don’t see it. As far as we go back in the history of our Craft we find this phrase. Here we find an excellent discussion of this phrase, and why it means what it does. Enjoy, and do share this and all of these Podcast episodes with your brothers and your Lodge.
