Brethren, this Short Talk Bulletin Podcast episode was written and is brought to us by MW Bro Walter MacDougal, PM – Piscataquis #44 and PGM – Maine. This STB was originally published in June of 1965, and when MW MacDougal recorded this episode recently, he remarked that it sounded like the passionate speech of a much younger man. Here, we are asked fairly fundamental questions, “How long can a Mason afford to be a Mason only in his speech and ritual verbalizations? How long can we afford to put our building aside for the little problems and pleasures of life? Masonry and humanity await our answers and our deed!” Enjoy, and do share this and all of these Podcast episodes with your brothers and your Lodge.
