Professor Langdon,' called a young man with curly hair in the back row, 'if Masonry is not a secret society, not a corporation, and not a religion, then what is it?'
'Well, if you were to ask a Mason, he would offer the following definition: Masonry is a system of morality, veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols.'
'Sounds to me like a euphemism for "freaky cult." '
'Freaky, you say?'
'Hell yes!' the kid said, standing up. 'I heard what they do inside those secret buildings! Weird candlelight rituals with coffins, and nooses, and drinking wine out of skulls. Now that's freaky!'
Langdon scanned the class. 'Does that sound freaky to anyone else?'
'Yes!' they all chimed in.
Langdon feigned a sad sigh. 'Too bad. If that's too freaky for you, then I know you'll never want to join my cult.'
Silence settled over the room. The student from the Women's Center looked uneasy. 'You're in a cult?'
Langdon nodded and lowered his voice to a conspiratorial whisper. 'Don't tell anyone, but on the pagan day of the sun god Ra, I kneel at the foot of an ancient instrument of torture and consume ritualistic symbols of blood and flesh.'
The class looked horrified.
Langdon shrugged. 'And if any of you care to join me, come to the Harvard chapel on Sunday, kneel beneath the crucifix, and take Holy Communion.'
The classroom remained silent.
Langdon winked. 'Open your minds, my friends. We all fear what we do not understand.

It is with a heavy heart one of our Brothers passed away this morning, Richard Lanier. He had many Poems credited to his name..One of my favorite was called Old Age.

I went to the Doctor the other day I didn't feel just right.
These little aches and pains,they bothered me,and I couldn't rest at night.
So to the hospital he sent me, although I didn't feel that bad.
He had me marked down for every test that could be had.
I was flor-scoped, systa-scoped and my frail body was displayed.
Upon an ice cold table, my gizzard was being x-rayed.
I was checked for worms and parasites, for fungus and the crud. The nurse came in with great long needles taking samples of my blood.
Finally, two Doctors, they walked in, they probed, they punched,
and they pounded.
And to be sure I was still alive they wired me up for sound.
Then they came to the Conclusion.
What they found wouldn't even dot a page.
For what I have will someday kill me.
My trouble is just old age.
