Masonic Lodge members from Brush and throughout Colorado dedicated the new addition at East Morgan County Library during a traditional cornerstone-laying ceremony last Wednesday.
Colorado Lodge Grand Master Charles Johnson conducted the ceremony, in which members of the group symbolically examined the decorative cornerstone with a square, level and plumb before installing it in the building.
“This cornerstone has been duly tested and tried by the ancient implements of freemasonry, and I testify that the craftsmen have skillfully and faithfully performed their duty,” he said. “And I declare that this stone is well-formed, true and trusty, and laid according to the principals of our art.”
