RAYS OF MASONRY
The power of original thought, God given, but commonly neglected by man save
only casually, yet, occasionally as lightning might strike, finds lodgment in a
leader with a facility for expression. Singing with sincerity- fundamental as
eternal- epigrams of thought have flowed from the versatile pen of Dewey H.
Wollstein. Challenging indeed are editorials which must needs be read before the
morning mail is opened. Quoted frequently in Masonic publications over the
country, his writings have been widely acclaimed. While his background as Past
Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Georgia and as editor of its official
publication, "Masonic Messenger", enhances his prestige, underlying
these is a profound comprehension and understanding of the basic, the ultimate,
the philosophy of life, of truth in its cosmic sense, of Masonry if you choose.
Withal, a terseness of composition reveals a fine distillation of thought.
"The magnificent beauty of Masonry," as he conceives it, draws its
superlatives not from catechism, lecture or degree but from the eternal verities
which compose it. The Master, teacher, or lecturer who lingers among his words
will not fail to catch a new version, nor escape countless sparks of
inspiration.
