EVENTS AND THE MASONThe Mason, by virtue of the teachings and principles of Masonry, and as the inheritor of the wisdom of the ages should be an active participant in every problem and question of today. The hours of refreshment do not find the Mason without that which was his during the hours of labor. It is his privilege and responsibility to carry it forth in the world of men. We must forever be the conveyors of thought. Our decisions as individuals must be based upon the experiences of the past and upon all the moral and spiritual wisdom obtained or unobtainable. Moving events represent a part of any progressive system. Change is inevitable. Our concern must be to see that that which is good shall be moved into the future. In the activity of the present, this decision must be made. The architect will design a house for tomorrow that is quite different from the house of today. The Mason's interest is in seeing that the elements of home, the love of parents and children, and all that makes a house a home be moved into the future. The literature of tomorrow will be different from the literature of today in style and expression. The Mason's interest is in the important fact that books will be written and that men will be free to read them. Let us have a part in the writing of the book of tomorrow by bringing into the future the glorious possibilities of man and the undying ideal of man's right to follow the dictates of his conscience. In the administration of government there will be changes. The Mason's interest is in seeing that our government of tomorrow stands firmly on the foundation of "We, the People." Let us carry forth into the future the ideal of the dignity of the individual, and his right to worship God in his own way. The Mason will move into the future all that will make a future for mankind. |
