who spoke az follows:
Masonry encompasses It's members
within an imaginary circle representing
Nc boundary line of conduct towards
tod aud man, beyond which they are
on no occasion and under no pretext
10 suffer their prejudces, their interests
or their passions to betray them, and
teoches that while they keep themselves
mus crcumscribed, they cannot ma
teIlmly err.
