Brethren, this Short Talk Bulletin Podcast episode was written by the Rev Dr Bro Joseph Fort Newton, and first published in January 1927. Written almost 100 years ago, these words ring as true and relevant today as they did then, and we, who are drinking from wells we did not dig would be wise, indeed, to pay them our attention. The World is a whispering gallery, a hall of mirrors that deserve our indulgence in those qualities of silence and circumspection. Enjoy, and do share this and all of these Podcast episodes with your brothers and your Lodge.
