Freemasonry, I admit, has its secrets. It has secrets
peculiar to
itself, but of what do these principally consist? They
consist of
signs and tokens which serve as testimonials of character
and
qualifications, which are conferred after due instruction
and
examination.
These are of no small value. They speak a universal
language and
are a passport to the support and attention of the world.
They
cannot be lost so long as memory retains its power. Let
the
possessor of them be expatriated, shipwrecked or
imprisoned; let
him be stripped of everything he has in the world, still
their
credentials remain, and are available for use as
circumstances
require.
The good effects which they have produced are established
by the
incontestable facts of history. They have stayed the
uplifted hand
of the destroyer; they have subdued the rancor of
malevolence and
broken down the barriers of political animosity and
sectarian
alienation.
On the battlefield, in the solitudes of the uncultivated
forest or in
the busy haunts of the crowded city, they have made men,
of the
most hostile feelings and the most diversified conditions,
rush to
the aid of each other with special joy and satisfaction
that they
have been able to afford relief to a Brother Mason.
Benjamin Franklin
POTS
For centuries had Freemasonry existed ere modern political
controversies were
ever heard of, and when the topics which now agitate
society were not known,
but were all united in brotherhood and affection. I know
the institution to
be founded
on the great principles of charity, philanthropy and
brotherly love. BULWER.
