Central Fc:Gt,

Masonry is truly the sister Of Re
ligion for she boasts her efficacy
in all its native influence, and Is
constantly the assistant promoter
of like principles and like actions.
The central point Of all her innumer-
able lines, squares and circles, is
the love of God. And upon this
central point she builds her faith !;
from it she derives her hope Of glory
here and hereafter; and BY it she
squares her conduct in strict justice
and universal charity. The central
point of all true Masonry is the love
of God.
