We had a couple of international brothers in Lodge tonight. One of the good things about being in a vacation spot is that vacationing Masons will find you.
A brother from Canada didn't recognize one of our symbols. (We checked.) This led to a discussion of Masonic symbols, including the xxxxx. I asked a long time brother if he knew of anyone who ever used it. He said that he had used it. He was roller skating with a girl, way back before cell phones and she fell. She suffered a compound fracture of her wrist and it cut her radial artery. He said he feared for her life. This happened on the sidewalk on a busy bridge, and their car wasn't close, nor was there a phone within several hundred yards. He was able to flag down a brother driving across the bridge. They put the girl in his car and took off for the hospital. She made it. I thought that was very cool. |
