The Masonic Trowel

... to spread the cement of brotherly love and affection, that cement which unites us into one sacred band or society of brothers, among whom no contention should ever exist, but that noble emulation of who can best work or best agree ...

THE OTHER FELLOW- HE'S YOUR BROTHER


The other fellow has a penchant for brown ties. You like blue. He goes to a certain church. Yours is a different one. It is one of God's blessings that we have a variety of things. Yes, but the Other Fellow persists in doing so many unusual things, so different from the way you do. Or, should we say that your way is so different from the way he does things.

But remember? There was a time in lodge when a motion was made and seconded. The matter was quite clear to you, but the Other Fellow failed to see it your way.

However, there are many things that you have in common with this Other Fellow if you just think about it. When you visited a sick brother just the other day, this Other Fellow was there with you. When you attended the funeral of a brother, this Other Fellow was there, too.

Yes, you are together on the important things. Why stress the differences that make little difference? There was a time when the lodge was not doing so well and you had to buckle down and do a lot of hard work. Do you remember? This Other Fellow was there by your side.

If everyone liked brown ties, or blue ties, it would be a dull world.

Isn't it true? The Other Fellow is often you. If not, You and the Other Fellow are surely brothers.
