ADDRESS
The emblems worn for this degree are the sling and five stones, symbolic of the carnal ammunition that was used by the shepherds boy when he went to fight the great Goliath. The lesson we learn from this degree is one of humility. He that humbleth himself shall be exalteth but he that exalteth himself shall be abased. In the humility of a child-like trust David discarded the armour of Saul because he had not proven it, but enshrouded in the spiritual armour of dependency upon that great deliverer of Israel. He went forth to meet the worlds great champion who’s pride of bulk had vaunted itself in the valley of E-lah, with the armies of Israel and the unseen armies of God beholding from an earthly standpoint that unequal contest David rested from the brow of Goliath the laurels of victory proving how frail is the arm of flesh compared with the power of God. The shepherd’s boy was heralded the conqueror and arrayed in a spotless robe of white from which we derive this lesson that we meeting the Goliath’s of wickedness in our daily paths of life may too over come by that same power as David and finally join that innumerable company who’s robes also are white because they have been washed in the blood of the lamb.
We would recommend a revealing book written by David W Daniels – Should A Christian Be A Mason:
