It has been sought heretofore to i'm
press upon you that masonry is not a
religion, but an entirely ethical insti-
tuition. The order does not undertake
to reeen6rAte, IL demands, however. as
prerequisite to membership q pure

How Il Dsnstits.
The strong men are sell. mastered
men. and the strong nations are made
UP OF such men. -Four centuries ago
Spain was the greatest empire ever
known; growing weak by uperstition
1t has desenerated into fourth class
power. In the fifteenth century the
base Eimenes destroyed the precious
Arabic manuscripts. and the aually
base Zumarrsgo. after Cortes's con-
quest Of Mexico, gave to the flames
the priceless hieroglyphfcs OF the Aztec
historian; Spain destroyed two civili-
cations, each better than It's own. Al
Prescott well says, I'VE rnky well doub,
which has the strongest claim to civ.
ilization the victor or the vanquished'
If We in this land fail, it is because
we suffer the baser passions, greed ano
lust Of gain, selhshness to overcome
those generous principles Our fore
fathers were endowed with and by
which they secured our freedom from
tyranny. There is q tendency to de-
cay. Scott In his talisnan makes
Richard Couer de Leon cay when re-
preached by an ecclesiastic, II will
part with my pride to the noble canons
Of the Church, my luxury to the monks
OF the robe, ana my blood thirstiness
to the Knights Of the Temple" And
yet all those were supposed to stand
for the highest morality.
