soon be completed. epitomizes the
spirit of Gainesville. Its voice will
tell the story of the ideals Of this
growing municipality. Nothing In
connection with it shall ever corrupt
the mind of your young men. or bring
blush Of shame to the rosy cheek
of your young women. The work
done inside these walls will never
cast shadow over the homes Of this
fair city or leave a blot upon the sac
red relations OF husband and wife.
The sancity of your castles will be
as safely and securely guarded BY the
principles taught herein. as we're the
interests OF the great Queen when in
side the walls of BaImoral. Noble
womanhood. that priceless boon Of
our lovely Southland, shall be guard
ed with the life-blood OF those who
take the vows Of a Master Mason.
Childhood, in its homelessness, shall
never cry for bread, nor seek in vain
for shelter from the storm. And
here manhood shall find an higher
ideal which shall ever serve as an
inspiration to all that is noble and
good in society.
Do not for one moment get the idea
that In any way put Masonry and
these other orders above the Church
OF God, as a civilizing or saving
force in society. The fact is the
birth OF these institutions is a part
of that indirect work OF the Church
OF our Father which has done more
to bless the world than all other or
CARNATIONS together. Neither do
these orders claim any sayable pow
err at all. They are powerless 70 grant
forgiveness Of sin, or to issue an edict
giving adoption into the heavenly
family These are wisely left where
they belong In the hands Of the
Church. But they are a useful and
blessed adjunct to all religious work,
and have not hindered. but helped, the
conquering hosts OF Christianity.
