We'd like to welcome our newest companions, Brandon Ion and Garry Lewis, and thank Wayne Chapter No. 182, Royal Arch Masons for hosting this wonderful Royal Arch Degree. The work was expertly performed by the members of Wayne Chapter, including our Most Excellent Grand High Priest, Rich Hitch, who presided over a conferral our members won't forget.

The Steeds of Time

The Steeds of Time

The Steeds of Time course on. No flick of spurs.
Nor curb of bits, can change their rhythmic stride.
The silent hoofs of these staid voyageurs
Turn not aside upon their cosmic ride.

No mortal mind can think, nor tongue can say,
How long the Steeds of Time have trod the way;
Nor whence they came, nor where their quest may lie.
But hoof-prints in the sky point out their path
Along the Milky Way; past coal-sacks wrapt
In deepest mystery; through nebulae
So faint no human eye can classify
The dappled flecks as stars. And yet each speck
Is but a tally-mark of aeons lapsed
Since Chaos saw the Steeds of Time pass by.
