r, r TKE BARNWELL PEOPLE-SENTINEL, BARNWELL, HOOTO GAMIUNA 1 (JURSDAY, JUNE ITTH. 192S. THE SHRINER’S UNWRITTEN LAW --.A ► % Every aMocwtion of men 1ms its code, written or anwritton, and fre- 3 (fcr-mtfy ii tF tWt bearing no sanction of formal adop tion have, !n fact, all the force of law. ft even may be they are the very life of the institution. This is particularly - true of the Shrine. Stripped of the traditions which govern the conduct of its membeVs wi^in and without the body of the Temple, little of the Ancient and Arabic Order of a worth while sort would remain. ,.For the reason that practically none of these things, however bind ing and inviolable, are taught by the spoken word, their present mention is not, perhaps, without interest, at least to those of the faithful whose pilgrimages, up to now, have ex tended little beyond the Sacred City. The Shriner’s code requires him to realise that his initiation is never complete. Whatever may be his years and dignities, in this respect he stands as a perpetual ^novice. With- ''Mt a sense of humor sufficient to in clude his own immediate and present misfortunes, he is not of the Shrine elect. He must always wear displayed the emblem of the Order, and he must always recognize it when worn by other men. There should be no for malities of introduction between Shriners. The fex Is his hall mark. Tie must wear it on occasions in which the Shrine as a body k>ins. The penalties for violation of this rule are usually certain and painful. He must not re move his fet indoors nor in salutn- ncv«r be/yond T silerit, unseen bqyor ward con stant ward and guard. And, last of alfrheris keenly con scious that a little noise raraly hurts; that he is young as long as he is alive, -And that wiil be quiet for a long, long time.— Selected. / — __ NOTICE. ■r tion. He must be very certain, if h* R PP ,icant for registration and collecti- is a lover of peace, not to wear it in any place where he could not willing ly take his wife or daughter, or be seen by them. He is at home in any Temnle, any- and at any time. Hie privi leges are equal to Onse of immediate membership. In fact, they are great er and, for that reason, not to be abused. - He must realize that vulgarity and humor have little in common, and his code teaches him that he may be wit ty and still preserve self-respect. He is never to forget that while his Order is not s branch of the great Masonic profession, he himself, is a part, and however humble that part, it is within his power by misconduct to bring reproach upon that which is skin to the holy. He is also to re member that in the eyes of the pro fane the Shrines is Masonry. Distinc tions and differences, to him a matter of course, are to others unknown. To him the emblem of the Shrine worn by a woman places her under his special care and protection, nor may he avoid the lesponsihility. Its presence does not license him to speak, but it does compel a constant watchfulness over her safety and comfort. He knows it to be the proud boast of the Order that a woman wearing this iusigni,, may travel alone tfiom the Atlantic to the Pa cific free from insult and annoyance.
