| In Memoriam Brother Benjamin Neufeld, 71 years a Master Mason, who paid his full dues till the very end, his 97th Year. It matters not whate'er your lot Or what your task may be, One duty there remains for you One duty stands for me. Be you a a doctor skilled and wise, Or do your work for wage, A laborer upon the street, An artist on the stage; Our glory still awaits for you, One honor that is fair, To have men say as you pass by: "That fellow's on the Square." Ah, here's a phrase that stands for much 'Tis good old English too, It means that men have confidence In everything you do, It means that what you have you've earned, And that you've done your best, And when you go to sleep at night Untroubled you may rest. It means that conscience is your guide, And honor is your care; There is no greater praise than this: "That fellow's on the Square." And when I die I would not wish a lengthy epitaph: I do not wish a headstone large, Carved with fulsome chaff, Pick out no single deed of mine, If such a deed there be, To 'grave upon my monument For those who come to see, Just this one phrase of all I choose, To show my life was fair: "Here Sleepeth Now A Fellow Who Was Always On The Square." |
From the East: In lieu of my regular message, I urge the Brethren to continue to "Be on the Square," and contribute generously to the Harry S Truman Foundation. The money is spent wisely and well. Send check to: Mr. Joseph E. Ruiz 22 Pawnee Drive Commack, New York 11725. From the West Dear Brothers: I would like to thank the degree team for another great rehearsal. Beyond the need for practicing our ritual work, it was a night of camaraderie and fun. Thank you to the W.'.M.'.Matty Donovan for the great dinner following the rehearsal. It was a fun night, and a good example of what Masonry is all about. The upcoming 2nd Degree is something we are all looking forward to and it will be another great night for all who attend. Fraternally, Brother Frank L. Parker Senior Warden |
