WAGES OF A MASTER MASON
We have heard a great deal about the wages of a
fellowcraft. It is the Master Mason that we labor as
Masons. Then why are we taught nothing about the
wages of a Master Mason?
The reason we do not find wages of a Master Mason
described is undoubtedly the same reason that explains
lack of interpretation of our symbols. As each Brother
must find his own interpretation for a symbol, so must
each find his wages as a Master Mason.
One Brother may receive wages in the gratitude of one
for whom he has performed an act of kindness.
Another may received his wages when privileged to
coach someone in the lectures.
WAGES OF A MASTER MASON are not paid in gold,
or silver, or with things with intrinsic value. They are
paid in those things that the Brother may keep in the
repository of the faithful breast. Those things that are
true to himself, his family, and friends. WAGES OF A
MASTER MASON are measured only by the value
placed upon them by the one who received them.
