The Working Tools of a Master Mason are all the implements of Masonry, indiscriminately, but more especially the Trowel.
The Trowel is an instrument used by operative masons to spread
the cement which unites the building into one common mass; but
we, as Free and Accepted Masons, are taught to make use of it
for the more noble and glorious purpose of spreading the cement
of brotherly love and affection-that cement which unites us into
one sacred band or society of friends and brothers, among whom
no contention should ever exist, but that noble contention, or
rather emulation, of who best can work and best agree.
