Brethren, This Short Talk Bulletin Podcast episode was written by MW Bro Carl Claudy, and is brought to us by RW Bro Dex Rowe, PDDGM 9th – VT. An emblem of innocence and the badge of a Mason; more ancient than the Golden Fleece or Roman Eagle, more honorable than the Star and Garter or any other order that can be conferred upon you at this or any future period, by king, prince, potentate, or any other person, except he be a Mason. With these few words, a newly made EA is introduced to the badge of Masonry that he is about to receive. Enjoy, and do share this and all of these Podcast episodes with your brothers and your Lodge.
