From The East:
The Masonic Funeral
A new Worshipful Master in a small
Georgia town spent the first four days making personal visits to each of the
members, inviting them to come to his first Lodge meeting.
The following Thursday the Lodge was all
but empty.
Accordingly, the Worshipful Master placed
a notice in the local newspapers, stating that, because the Lodge was dead, it
was everyone's duty to give it a decent Masonic burial.
The funeral would be held the following
Monday afternoon, the notice said.
Morbidly curious, a large crowd turned out
for the "funeral."
In front of the Altar, they saw a closed
coffin, smothered in flowers.
After the Chaplain delivered the eulogy,
he opened the coffin and invited his Brethren to come forward and pay their
final respects to their dead Lodge.
Filled with curiosity as to what would
represent the corpse of a "Dead Lodge,"
all the Brethren eagerly lined up to look in the coffin.
Each "mourner" peeped into the
coffin then quickly turned away with a guilty, sheepish look.
In the coffin, tilted at the correct
angle, was a large mirror.
Remember the obligation we all took my
brethren attend and support your Lodge!!!!
