We are constantly reminded that Masonry is a progressive science. It is not surprising, therefore, that the stop by which we progress from one point to another and the stair by which we ascend from lower to higher levels occupy an important place in our ceremonies. I think we can with advantage moralize upon the step and the stair.
It will be. understood that I am dealing with the relation of this subject to Craft-Masonry only,
and not to other Orders such as the Royal Arch-Masonry or Rose Croix Masonry. Many present who are associated with these Orders will immediately perceive the application of the subject to these and possibly other Orders in Masonry as well as to Craft-Masonry.
The subject falls into three or four divisions.
