We Live Our Little Life; But Heaven

Masonry Is Identical With The Ancient Mysteries

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.

Before God Manifested Himself, When All Things Were Still Hidden In Him... He Began By Forming An Imperceptible Point; That Was His Own Thought. With This Thought He Then Began To Construct A Mysterious And Holy Form... The Universe.

Faith Begins Where Reason Sinks Exhausted.

A War For A Great Principle Ennobles A Nation. A War For Commercial Supremacy, Upon Some Shallow Pretext, Is Despicable, And More Than Aught Else Demonstrates To What Immeasurable Depths Of Baseness Men And Nations Can Descend.
