  1. THREE SENSES

    Of the five human senses, the three which are the most important in Masonic symbolism are Seeing, Hearing, and Feeling, because of their respective reference to certain modes of recognition, and because, by their use, Freemasons are enabled to practice that universal language the possession of which is the boast of the Order.

  2. THREEFOLD CORD

    A triple cord whose strands are of different colors; it is used in several Rites as an instructive symbol. A striking allusion to the strength of a triple cord is found in Ecclesiastics (iv, 12) "And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken." Yet we must remember, as Whittier says in the Moral Warfare of the cause at heart, So let it be in God's own might - We gird us for the coming fight - And, strong in Him whose cause is ours In conflict with unholy powers, We grasp the weapons He has given,- The Light, and Truth, and Love of Heaven.

Just a note about comments on this blog.

Comment posting is set to "moderated" and also, I am no longer accepting anonymous posting.

The comments are moderated because I have no interest in seeing vulgar material on my blog. I have gone to blocking anonymous posting because it appears to be much easier to be insulting and inappropriate if you don't have to put your name on it.

So, if you want to say something, be polite, post in good taste, and be willing to stand up for what you say by IDing yourself, or don't bother.
