While
you were veiled in darkness, you heard repeatedly by the Voice of the Great
Past its most ancient doctrines. None has the right to object, if
the Christian Mason sees foreshadowed in Chrishna and Sosiosch, in Mithras
and Osiris, the Divine WORD that, as he believes, became Man, and died
upon the cross to redeem a fallen race. Nor can he object it others
see reproduced, in the WORD of the beloved Disciple, that was in the beginning
with God, and that was God, and by Whom everything was made, only the LOGOS
of Plato, and the WORD or Uttered thought or first Emanation of LIGHT,
or the Perfect REASON of the Great, Silent, Supreme, Uncreated Deity, believed
in and adored by all.
