Masonry Is A Search After

The Word Of God Is The Universal And Invisible Light, Cognizable By The Senses, That Emits Its Blaze In The Sun, Moon, Planets, And Other Stars.

The Sovereignty Of One's Self Over One's Self Is Called Liberty.

The Unconsidered Act Of The Poorest Of Men May Fire The Train That Leads To The Subterranean Mine, And An Empire Be Rent By The Explosion.

The Universal Medicine For The Soul Is The Supreme Reason And Absolute Justice; For The Mind, Mathematical And Practical Truth; For The Body, The Quintessence, A Combination Of Light And Gold.

He Who Endeavors To Serve, To Benefit, And Improve The World, Is Like A Swimmer, Who Struggles Against A Rapid Current, In A River Lashed Into Angry Waves By The Winds. Often They Roar Over His Head, Often They Beat Him Back And Baffle Him. Most Men Yield To The Stress Of The Current... Only Here And There The Stout, Strong Heart And Vigorous Arms Struggle On Toward Ultimate Success.
