THE GHOST OF OPPRESSION
The Ghost of Oppression comes back to test its powers. Throughout the
centuries Freemasonry has stood adamant and unafraid while this hideous monster
has walked about in various ghastly shapes. To the Ghost of Oppression success
means the death of men by bombs or through enslavement. Success means hunger,
stealing the rosy cheeks of little children and leaving the vacant states of
crazed minds.
But always it returns to its spectral haunt with only a hallow victory. And
always it reflects:
There is an institution that has never shown signs of fear; an institution
that has some 'mysterious force' which carries it on and on through the ages. It
is difficult to understand. While I wreak destruction this institution goes
about repairing, rebuilding. While I snatch food from children this institution
restores health and offers shelter. While I rave about the superman, this
institution speaks of the ordinary man who is the Son of Light. While I preach
dogma, this institution teaches the simple doctrine- The Fatherhood of God. If I
could only understand the mysterious power. I may come back by any name, at any
time, in any form, but with the centuries I grow less hopeful.
Faith repels all Fear.
