Topics: classic

The following lines were read at the festival after the stone had been laid by Grand Master Col. Moffat, of a church on the Culloden road, with Masonic honors.             In this quiet spot this day of June,             Which will not be forgotten soon,             For when your little church on hill             You overflowingly did fill,             You then resolved there should arise             Church worthy of your enterprise,             You've laid foundation broad and deep,             And showers of blessings may you reap.             Craft of King Hiram and Saint John             Have come to lay the corner stone,             At the call of our Grand Master             Who was invited by your pastor,             With silver trowel all so fair             He laid foundation on the square,             May you be blessed with Christian love,             And we all meet in Lodge above.
