The Closing Charge - Walking Stick


This custom-made walking stick has the Blue Lodge Closing Charge, in it's entirety, wood-burned down the length of the stick. Incorporating a rising/setting sun motif in the design, as well as the square and compass, and other Masonic designs near the top. This popular stick has a touch of wood stain and a clear finish on it.



"We are now about to quit this sacred retreat of friendship and virtue, to mix again with the world. Amidst its concerns and employments, forget not the duties which you have heard so frequently inculcated, and so forcibly recommended, in this Lodge. Be diligent, prudent, temperate, discreet. Remember that, around this altar, you have promised to befriend and relieve every brother who shall need your assistance. You have promised, in the most friendly manner, to remind him of his errors, and aid a reformation. These generous principles are to extend further. Every human being has a claim upon your kind offices. Do good unto all. Recommend it more especially “to the house-hold of the faithful.” Finally, brethren, be ye all of one mind; live in peace; and may the God of love and peace delight to dwell with and bless you." So Mote It Be.
