The Working Tools.
The Working Tools of Fellow Craft are the Plumb, the Square and the
Level, and are thus explained:
The Plumb is an instrument used by Operative Masons to try
perpendiculars, the Square to square their work, and the Level to prove
horizontals; but we, as Free and Accepted Masons, are taught to use them
for more noble and glorious purposes. The Plumb admonishes us to walk
uprightly in our several stations before God and man, squaring our
actions by the Square of Virtue, ever remembering that we are traveling
upon the Level of Time to that "undiscovered country from whose bourne
no traveler returns."
