The Word Of God Is The Universal

Hypocrisy Is The Homage That Vice And Wrong Pay To Virtue And Justice .

That Which Causes Us Trials Shall Yield Us Triumph: And That Which Make Our Hearts Ache Shall Fill Us With Gladness. The Only True Happiness Is To Learn, To Advance, And To Improve: Which Could Not Happen Unless We Had Commenced With Error, Ignorance, And Imperfection. We Must Pass Through The Darkness, To Reach The Light.

Virtue Is But Heroic Bravery, To Do The Thing Thought To Be True, In Spite Of All Enemies Of Flesh Or Spirit, In Despite Of All Temptations Or Menaces.

If The Soul Sees, After Death , What Passes On This Earth , And Watches Over The Welfare Of Those It Loves, Then Must Its Greatest Happiness Consist In Seeing The Current Of Its Beneficent Influences Widening Out From Age To Age, As Rivulets Widen Into Rivers, And Aiding To Shape The Destinies Of Individuals, Families, States, The World; And Its Bitterest Punishment, In Seeing Its Evil Influences Causing Mischief And Misery , And Cursing And Afflicting Men, Long After The Frame It Dwelt In Has Become Dust, And When Both Name And Memory Are Forgotten.

The True Philosophy, Known And Practised By Solomon, Is The Basis On Which Masonry Is Founded.
