Again it would be saf e to say ,

very few .

B ut why this uncertainty and

co nfusion concerning the one thing
which above all others gives mean
, ,

ing or point or significance to the

, ,

Degree of a Master Mason ?

If assured by competent authority
“
and on legal evidence that The ,

"
L ost Word has reference to an
ancient estate which has been in
creasing in value for many thou
sands of years until the distribut i ve
,

share of each Master Mason today

is worth a million dollars in cash ,

and that this vast Masoni c E state

is now ready for distr i bution as

soon as a complete roster of the

Craft can be authenticated how ,

many Master Masons would have

“ ”
an interest in The L ost Word
sufficient to se e that their names
we re on the roster ?
This is too delicate a subject to
admit of speculation lest injustice
,

might be done to the real Spirit

and Genius of modern F reemasonry ,

a s well a s to the motives wh ich

inspire many individual members
of the Craft .

There is however a su fficient

, ,

reason for the general confusion

among Masons as to the correct

but they are mute It is by hints

only and these the least notice able

and apparently insignificant that ,

“
I t was never intended that the
mass of Masons should know the
meaning of the B lue Degrees a nd ,
 T he Los t Wo d Fo und
r l5

no pains were spare d to conceal

that meaning .

Whatever the real cause may be ,

certain it is that no single subject

within the scope of B lue L odge
Masonry has been invested with ’

more of real mysticism and occu lt

,

“
uncertainty than is that of The

,

be pronounced vocally .

The question now i s " What

“ ”
was it that was lost to Fre c
mason ry and Freemasons by the
death of the Grand Master ,

Hiram ?
Was it a me re word composed ,

of syllables which can be vocal

Substitute P
Think for a moment " At the
time referred to there we re three
Grand Masters in a Mason ic sense
, ,

who were directly interested in and

“
identified with the building of the
Temple . These were " ing Solo
18 T he Los t Wo rd Fo und
man ", ing Hiram of Tyre and
Hi ram Ab if .

If the thing referred to was a

mere wo rd a l l three of these Great
,

Mas o n s must have been in po sses

sion of it .

In that e vent it could not have

“
been lost t o the Craft by the
death of but one of them It .

would have required the death of

all three to have lost such a word .

To get over this impossible o h

sta cl e the in genious su gg estion has
,

been o ffered that i t was a word of

,

three syllables or parts and that

, ,

each one of these Grand Masters

had one part of it only In this .
 T he Los t Wo rd Fo und 19

cas e ne ither one al o ne coul d give

it but it would require a ll three "
,

and that this w as the re aso n fo r the

Grand Master s reply th at i t could
’

“ i
no t be g iven except in the pres
”
ence of the other two and himself .

The inadequacy of this suggestio n

beco mes apparent when we remem
ber that the very first time these
three Grand Masters came together
and pronounced the word each one ,

would thereafter kno w the whole

wo rd and anyo ne o f them could
,

thereafter pronounce it .

I t thus becomes c lear that the

“ "

a mere word in the ordinary mean

under the conditions which existed
at the time of that historic event .

There I S however a consistent

meaning for the term Word ,

which has been and still is in use ,

in both Masonry and the Great

which meets all the conditi ons

pe rfectly .
