We, as speculative Masons, Idealize tt and use It symbolically to spread the cement of brotherly love and affection among ourselves. About two years ago Brother C. Fred Crosby of Justice lodge. No. 763, of the grand jurisdiction of New York, conceived the Idea of having a silver trowel made. which should travel around the world and bring all Masons In this country and in those countries aorosa the sea to which It should go Into a closer bond of union and fellowship. Accordingly this beautiful solid silver em blem was made and with the sanction of the grand lodge of the state of New York was started on a long journey around the world.

Its presence here tonight affords us an other link In the chain which will on Its return to Its mother lodge unfte Masons of every country, sect and opinion from "east to west and west to east again." It has inspired all who have been privi leged to take part In the ceTTmony at tending Its reception witn a Better under standing of the words "Brotherly love and affection," and also with a deeper appre ciation of the cardinal virtues and moral orecents of Masonry. As we follow Its course westward across the prairies, over mountains and down the Pacific slope of our continent to the coun tries across the broad ocean, we will see the same enthusiasm, the same sentiment ever prettent and paramount at each re ception. Its Journey from lodge to lodge wlH spread the cement of brotherly love and affection between the different jurisdictions and will also unite in time rnenrixnip or Individual brothers of these Jurisdictions. We hope that this cement will prove as strong, as lasting and as able to endure the teat of time as the cement which our ancient operative brethren spread between the stones of their buildings which have stood the wear of the elements through the ages. Epoch In Masonry. The principal address of the evening was by 'H. H. Keith of Sioux Falls, who as senior warden of the evening ceremonies said: There are great events In nearly every life. When C. Fred Crosby conceived the Idea of the traveling trowel symbolical of admonition to spread the cement of broth erly love oa every possible occasion, and the same was adopted by Justice Lodge of New York and dedicated to brotherly love and affection, It was a great event In his life. Its mission around the world Is still a greater event In the history of Masonry. Standing here tonight, midway between the Atlantic and the l"aclfle, we have only to turn our eyes toward the east, from whence It came, and behold Its luminous pathway as It has gone from lodge to lodge and from Jurisdiction to Jurisdiction, perform ing the mission whereunto It was sent, teaching the lessons of harmony and brotherly love and inspiring a new seal In the heart of every Mason; and so It cornea to us tonight, "like apples of gold in pic tures of silver," proclaiming Its grand and triumphant march acrots the continent and Inspiring us with noble thoughts and higher axpiratlons for more light in Masonry. This trowel Is not like a nut to be cracked that we may devour Its meat, but rather aa a window through which we may look and see Its pathway aa it proceeds on its mission light up like the burning of Moscow when "It did seem as though the very earth was lighted up that the nations might behold the scene, snd the lnsplra. tlon of Ita presence In every lodge and Jur isdiction may set In motion those mighty influences that will produce lofty senti ments, sublime virtues and a more perfectly cemented brotherhood. And as we watch its triumphant march across the continent, ready to take Its departure to other lands, may the lesson It has taught be the all absorbing theme of everyone who walks In the Hunt of Masonry, and may wa be ao Imbued with Its teachings that we may for get every animosity, crush every selfish de sire, forget every fancied wrong and with hearts swelling with gratitude go forth a mighty fraternal organlxatlon, to bestow blesHing upon mankind everywhere; and may this country of oura become so ex alted because of the glorious light and matchless power of Masonry, that, as this trowel passes from our shores to Juris dictions beyond tie sens It may be to them like coming events canting their shadows before them; and as the Masons of those distant Jurisdictions catch the inspiration of Its presence and turn their eyes towards America from whence It came, they will have to look upward as If to gase on the stars that spangle the heavens.
