The Square

Is the emblem of Morality and Virtue, reminding us to square our actions and harmonize our conduct by the unalterable principles of the moral law as laid down for our pursuit in the Volume of the Sacred Law. We are obligated to act upon the Square with all Mankind, no less than with our brethren in Freemasonry.

The Level

Is the emblem of Equality, and reminds us that we are descended from the same stock, partake of the same nature, and share the same hope. In the sight of the Grand Geometrician, all men are equal; and the time will come when all distinctions save those of goodness shall cease, and Death, the grand leveller of all human greatness shall reduce us to the same state.

The Plumb-Rule

Is the emblem of Justness and Uprightness, and admonishes us to hold the scales of Justice with an equal poise, and to make our conduct co-incide with the line of our duty, which is to walk uprightly before the Grand Geometrician, and Man.
