ADDRESSES
Address to a Brother Upon the Presentation of a Lambskin Apron by
the Lodge My brother, in behalf of the Lodge, I now present to you this white Lambskin Apron. It may be, that in the
coming years, upon your brow shall rest the laurel leaves of victory; it may be that, pendant from your breast, may hang jewels fit to grace the diadem of some Eastern potentate.
Aye! more than these, for light, added to coaling light, may enable your ambitious feet to tread round after
round the ladder that leads to fame, in our Mystic Order; and even the purple of our Fraternity may rest
upon your honored shoulders; but never again, from mortal hands, never again, until your enfranchised
spirit shall have passed upward and inward, through the pearly gates, can a greater honor be bestowed, or
one more emblematical of purity and innocence, than that which has been conferred upon you tonight.
This Apron, the special gift of this Lodge, is yours to wear upon all proper occasions throughout an
honorable life, and at your death, it is to be placed upon the coffin that contains your lifeless remains and with them shall be laid beneath the silent clods of the valley. May the pure and spotless surface of this Apron be an ever-present reminder of that "purity of heart and uprightness of conduct so essentially necessary," thus keeping pure your thoughts, and inspiring nobler deeds and greater achievements!
>The inside detail from record of Ragnarok; of course being the God of the Primordial Waters……. Atum…..The primordial God from whom all else arose.
And, at last, when our work on
earth is done, when the mallet of Death shall call us from our labors, may we obtain a blessing and
everlasting rest in that Spiritual House, not made with hands, eternal in the Heavens." Amen
