Be Prudent, Diligent, Temperate And Discreet. Remember That Every Human Being Has A Claim Upon Your Kind Offices.

The Blue Degrees Are But The Outer Court...of The Temple. Part Of The Symbols Are Displayed There To The Initiate, But He Is Intentionally Misled By False Interpretation.

Reverence For Greatness Dies Out, And Is Succeeded By Base Envy Of Greatness.
