remind us of the following words simply told: An old man travelling on a lone high
 way, Came at the evening cold and gray, To chasm vast, deep and wide:
 dim, No suIlen stream had any fear for
 him; And he turned when safe on the other And built bridge that would span
 any tide. Say, old man!" said a pilgrim near. You are wasting your time building
 here; You will never again pass this way; You have crossed the chasm deep and
 wide, Why build this bridge at evening
 tide ?" The old man lifted his old gray head. My friend, in the path I have come ;
 he said,
 There are following after me today. A youth whose feet must pass this
 way. That chasm that was naught to me. To that fair youth, a pitfall may be; Be, too, will have to cross in the twi-
 light dim. am striving to build that bridge for
 him."
 So is the past, so is the present and so will be the future of Masonry. It has been for all ages the beacon of liberty to those seeking a higher plane of life. It has been the guiding star to those who believe in all that IS pure, and that there are none so good that their lives may not be made better, and that there are none so bad that they cannot be reclaimed as good citizens. In the years that are to come, when history has recorded the good deeds and the bad ones of the generations that have come and gone, Masonry will stand paramount among the societies as the chief good to ali.
