There is, in fact, no other symbol which is more various in its application or more generally diffused throughout the whole system of both the Spurious and the Pure Freemasonry. The equilateral triangle appears to have been adopted by nearly all the nations of antiquity as a symbol of the Deity.
He was henceforward one of the circle not distinguished by any definite label but yet recognised among each other by a spontaneous freemasonry which forms the higher intellectual stratum of London society; and is recruited from all who have made a mark in any department of serious work.
So, at the proper time, I lounged in one morning, and found a very charming, cosy, home-like parlor, arranged with all those little refined touches and artistic effects by which people of certain tastes and habits at once recognize each other in all parts of the world, as by the tokens of freemasonry.

A metamorphosis so ludicrously operated in the usually elegant costume of two young English officers, for such they were, might have been expected to afford scope to the pleasantry of their companions, and to call forth those sallies which the intimacy of friendship and the freemasonry of the profession would have fully justified.
Let us regard that man as if he were ourselves; let us treat him as one who demands a full place in the ranks of working life, and try to find it for him.

They never reach the cook. What she wants to know is where this sort of thing is going to end? If the purpose of Freemasonry is the ruin of the home and the desertion of women, then all she has to say it turns out to be quite a good deal.
