Pi flliltsJTWILL THE MADMEN !VIN?

T this writing the "war of nerves', in Eu-rope has almost came to a head. Hitlerhas concluded a non-aggression pact withStalin, to the complete surprise of Bri-tain and France, whose hopes of a British-

French-soviet military treaty have been definitelycheated. Thus Poland faces the same fate as Czechos-lovakia's, as the Nazis are all set to goosestep into Dan-zig and the Polish Corridor.

The picture is very dark indeed. The dictator-'states, sad to admit, seem to have won completely in- the poker game of diplomacy, and before we know it,the world may be rocked by another earthquake fartranscending the proportions of 1914's armaggedon.That would be extremely precarious for the smallerdemocracies especially, possibly rocking them out ofexistence as independent states.

Our interest in this worst of all possible situationsgrowing out of Europe's power politics, is the death-blow to the rights and liberties of man won only aftersountless struggles and bloodsheds. If we had clungto a slender thread of hope in the past few months,that thread has all but snapped now, with the heels ofthe drctators poised to fall upon all of Europe.'We turn to Britain and Franee for the answer toour grave doubts. These. are formidable powers bythe very testimony of history. Their capacity for re-sistance is an admitted fact, the tenacity of their peo-

ple has been demonstrated. But most important tous who believe in the ideals of Democracy, is thatthese nations will fight to the last ditch in defense ofthe inalienable rights of free men.

We have yet to see the totalitarian states gothrough the tesb, and this test will not be found in themere clash of diplomatic bluffs, or even in the firstimpaet of arms, but in the days that will follow, ihedark, dreary days of continued fighting in land, seaernd air, when human patience is the thing that counts,the patience Sustained by faith in a good cause.

The soldiers of the democracies will march in theinspiration of that faith.' They will not bg mere auto-matons responding to commands. In their ears willbe, not merely the echo of their masters' words, butthe voice of a humanity aware of the danger that allthe dictatorships in this world mean to it. Crusadersof Democracy, they wili march as they have marchedbefore, that Liberty, Equality and Fraternity may notperish from this earth.

May the Supreme Architect of the Universe staythe usurper's hand in this developing tragedy of Eu-rope, for the sake of the peace and security of thesmall and the defenseless. But should the arrogantmadmen of this hour refuse to see the light, there muststill be victory for the forces of reason who are God-fearing, with the moral support of all libertyJovingpeoples behind them.

FRATERNAL GREETINGE extend our heartiest ivelcome to our newHigh Commissioner, Francis B. Sayre,upon his assumption of a new trust in hiscareer. His norm of conduct, we have notthe least doubt, will be statesmanlike in the

t sense.He comes at a trme when we most need of pro-

tection against the underhandeci intrigues of intoler-

ant meddlers. He comes when the pressure againstestablished liberty of conscience in this country is be-ing rene'wed with increased vigor.

High Commissioner Sayre should prove the Ne-rnesis of the pressure agents. His free mind, his fun-damental sense of liberty, will be the bulwark of ourconstitutional rights. This is our conviction as arye ex-tend our hand in fraterr.al greeting.

CLARK JAMES"a GEORGE ROGERS HARVEY, P. G. Iw

Page 64

OST Worshipful Brother Clark James was the firstGrand Master of our Grand Lodge, in the twenty-seven years of its existence, who passed arvay while

holding that high offlce. It is the privilege and

duty of his Masonic brethren who survive him to&tot hiS--"ny virtues and give expression to his superiorqualities as a man and Mason.

I was not intimately acquainted with him, and did not see

him .often, owing to the distances which separated us in our

lines of duty, but I had the pleasure of knowing him some

,thirty years. I have enjoyed the hospitality of his home on

t*o o" three occasions when I was in his province, and had

occasion to observe him as a quiet and effective worker in^Frebmasonry from time to time during the greater part of

the period of our acquaintance.

Clark James .was born in McKinney, the county seat of

Collin County, Texas, on December 1, 1870, and died in Lin-gayen, Pangasinan Province; Philippine Islands, at 2"40

P. M. on Jrily 29, 1939, at the age of 68 years' He grew up

in Texas and received his education in the public schools of

that State, was a t:acher in the pubiic schools for several

years, and later in 1893 took a course in bookkeeping in Hill'sBusiness Co1lege. In that same year he entered BaylorUniversity in Waco, Texas, and in 1896 was graduated there-from in Literature and Oratory. But long before he went tothe Baylor University he taught school and earned the money

which enabled him to take the business and college courses.

After completing his university training in 1896 he stu-died law for about three years, but never went to a lawsdhool. He was admitted to the Bar in the United States

Disirict Court for the Southern District of the Indian Territory,which was later incorporated into the State of Oklahoma and

he practiced law in the Indian Territory until 1-904'

Clark Jarnes eame to the Philippines early in 1904, hav-.ing arrived in Manila on April 2nd of that year, as a teacher.in the Bureau of Education. His family, consisting of hiswife, Mrs. Mary E. James, nee Mary Elizabeth Wilson, and

-their two daught:rs, Elizabeth Mae James and Grace OpheliaJames, joined him in the Philippines a few months later:. Mrs.Jam€s returned to the United States in 1916 to place her twodaughters in schooi and Mrs. James died in San Antonio,Texas, on May 3, 1917. Elizabeth Mae married Dan Allens-worth on January 8, 1926, and was divorced in April, 1936,

and is now employed in the New Station Hospital in FortSam Houston, Texas. Ophelia Grace married Fred Skinner

'in Texas, and he was killed in a hunting accident in 1934 andshe was killed in a car accident in 1935. Brother Jamesrlarried Miss Primitiva Parajas of Calasiao, Pangasinan, on

t Auguit' 24, 1935, and she survives him.Our beloved Brother, Clark James, began his Masonic

career in Manila Lodge No, 342 under the Grand Lodge ofCalifornia, now Manila Lodge No. 1 under the .Grand Lodgeof the Philippine Islands. He was initiat':d an Entered Ap-'pfentice Mason on September 13, 1910, passed to the degree

of ?ellowcraft on December 23, 1910, and was raised to theSublime Degree of Mastel Mason on February 22, l9ll, OnJune 4, 1918, he took a demit from Manila Lodge No. 1 andbecame the founder of Malolos Lodge No. 46, at Malolos,Bulacan Provincel and later, after he was appointed as pro-

- vinciel treasurer of Pangasinan, he took a demit fr.om MalolosLodge No. 46 on Novemher 15, 1919, and became the founder

of Pangasinan Lodge No. 56, at Dagupan, Pangasinan. Sincethat time he has been a .vely regular atte ndant upou the An-nual Communications of the Grand Lodge. His faithfulnessand capacity in the performance of his Masonic duties .lvere

finally rewarded by the Grand Lodge in January, 1936, whenhe was elected as Juniol Grand Walden. Each year-there-after he was advanced to higher office untii he was electedGrand Master in January, 1939.

Brother James practically spent his life in the publicserzice. After he came to the Philippines, he taught schoolfor three years in the Province of Nueva Ec-ija. Later heserved as deputy provincial treasurer, acting provincial treas-urer, and provincial treasurer in valious provinces, includingPampanga, Misamis, Bohol, Batangas, Rizal, Bulacan and fin-aliy Pangasinan. He served as provincial treasuler of Pan-gasinan about twenty.years and retired in June, L939. Whilehe u,as deputy provincial treasurer of Pampanga provincehe took the bar examination and was admitted to the Philip-pine Bar in 1909, but he never engaged in the plactice of lawin the Philippine Islands. His public service covered the periodof the greatest progress of the tr'ilipino people. I{e help -'d tolay a broad and deep forindation for conducting the fiscal af-fairs of the provincial and municipal governments. When heretired frorn the public service in June, 1939, he was given atestimonial banquet by the officiais of Pang-asinan provinceand other friends, and they plaised his honest and efficientpublie service. During the twenty years that he held the of-fiee of provincial treasurer of Pangasirian, I did not hear aword of aCverse critieism against him, and I am assur:d bythose who knew him best that his manner of livi:rg was abovereproach, He enjoyed the confidence and esteem of those whowere fortunate enough to be associated r.vith him and of thelarge number of peopis who lived within the circle of hisacquaintance

Our departed Brother was the type of American who wassympathetic with the aspirations of the people of these Is-lands, and he rvas always just in his dealings with the peopleand 'lvas vitally inter.esteJ in their advancement. He was ableto make friends by being friendly. He had a manner andmethod all his own in winning and holding friends. He wasalways a gentleman, and those who knew him best loved himmost. In his relations with other public officials and em_ployees he never forgot or overlooked the proper courtesiesthat were due to his subordinates and fellow-workers. Hehad an innate love of fair play and honest dealing and ahatred for shams and any and all meanness of splrit andlack of fidelity to truth and honor. His generosity to theneedy and suffering, the faculty of thinking and planningfor the welfare and happiness of others_ail,these traits andrnore endeared him to a hos.u of friends; and I am happy tobe able to say, in the presence of those who held him dear,that there seems to be not one ignoble memory in all the shin_ing pathway of his iame, and that, of all the gifts of mindand heart thal God bestowed upon him, not one- was everused in willing service in an unrvorthy cause.

"As Hiiam slept, the widow's son',So doth bur Brother take his rest;

Life's battles fought; life,s duties done;His faults forgot; his worth confessed.,,

CLATTK JAMESBa JOSEPH HENRY ALLEY, P. G. M.

September, 1939

-OST Wor. Bro. Clark Jameshas a long record of Masonicservice, much longer thanthoSe of most of us who arehere today to pay our last

respectS to -his memorY.

Most Wor. Bro. James was made a

llason in Manila Lodge No. 342, underthe jurisdiction of tne Grand Lodge ofCalifornia, and- rvas a member of Ma-nila Lodge No. 1 when this GrandLodge was formed. The origir,al recordof members of this Grand Jurisdictionshows Blo. Clark James as No, 123 on

the roll. But the work of Most Wor.Bro. James took him out of Manila intothe provinces, and he took his Masonrywith him. Early in the year 1918 hejoined with other brethren to formMalolos Lodge No. 46, and took hisdimit from Manila. Again in thelatter part of 1919, when he had movedto Pangasinan, he joined with anolhergloup of Masons to become a founderof another provincial T,odge, Pangasi-nan No. 56, and he r,emained a mem-ber of this Lodge in the provinc: ofhis residence up to the time of hisdeath.

REEMASONRY is not a

special sect of religion, al-though it is highly religiousin character. Masonry isneitlrel a godless otganiza-

tion, as some insidious propagandawould make the world believe; for no

man can be made a Mason unless he

believes in the existance of One Su-preme God.

It is erroneous to believe that M,a-

sonry is against religion, for in factall kinds of leligious beliefs are foundwithin the four walls of Freemasonryas long as such beliefs center on theFatherhood of God, and the Brother-hood of men, and the immortality ofthe soul.

Masonry is an institution whereTOLERANCE and BROAD-MINDED-

He was not only a member arid PastI\{aster of his Lodge, but sinee itsfounding, has been one of its strongestmembers, and for many years the vir-tual father of his Lodge, and not onlyin his own Lodge, but throughout theProvince of Pangasinan and the otherprovinces surrounding it, his strength,wisdom and charity made him the out-standing member of the Craft.

His elevation to the station of high-est honor in this Grand Jurisdiction wasa fitting expression of our gratitudefor his labors for the Craft, as wellas of our faith and trust in his leader-ship.

We all remember that when he ac-cepted his election to the sbation ofGrand Master, he stated that his greatdoubt was in his physical ability tocarry out the onerous demands of thathigh office. At that time, as always, hisfirst consideration was the good of theFraternity, and all of us who knewhim well know that his greatest an-xiety during the past months has been,not his own failing strength, but hisinability to carry out the plans he hadmade for the good bf Masonry in thePhilippines.

NESS find their abode. In it youfind people of all religious creedsand political views, and from differenteountries of the world, working togetherfor the major principles of Freema-sonry,-BROTHERLY I,OVE, RE-LIEF and TRUTH.

BROTI{ERLY LOVE constitutes thecornerstone of Masonic philosophy, forby its exercise Masons are taught to re-gard the whole human speeies as onefamily, the high and the low, the riehand the poor ali being inhabitants of acommon Mother Earth are expected tosupport and protect one another. To re-gard the whole human species as onefamily, is truly an expression of thehighest type of idealism.

RELIEF for the distressed is a dutyof all men, but parlicularly Masons,

Our thoughts at this time are all cfsorrow for the passing of'our friendand leader. But while his physicalpresenee has gone from us, his laborgthroughout the years rvill remain withus. His associates, his own Lodge; andthis Grand Lodge will carry on theirwolk with greater vigor because of hisIeadership: they will be more chari-table and considerate because of his ex-ample of charity and consideration;more patient and long-suffeuing be-cause of his patience and forbearancelwith greater faith and tiust because ofthe inspiration of his life and labois.

The enduring nronument to our MostWor. Grand Master Clark James hasbeen wrought by his own hands. It isfirmly. established in the hearts andminds of'his brethren throughout theseIslands. Its jewels ale the Lodges whichhe has founded and led thru the years,and the friends and Brothers which he

leaves behind.

because Masons are linked together byan indissoluble chain of sincere affec-tion. We are called upon to soothe theunhappy, to symphatize with their mis-fortunes and miseries, and to restorepeace to their troubled nrinds,

TRUTH, a divine attribute, is thefoundation of every virtue. Propagan-da, however, in many instances now hastried to take the place of truth, but ofno enduring uplift. Truth is the trn-erring guide of a Mason's life and'with;out it nothing can be achieved,'for truthforms the foundation rock of all teach-ings and precepts. It forms the bed-rock of Masonry's strengLh and beauty,making it stand the test of time, so thatat present lllasonry stands as the Rock

of Ages.

PPORTUNITIES do notcome to us with their truevah,es stamped upon them.Many men blindly permit op-

irortunities to pass them bybecause of their ignorance. One manpermits an opportunity to slip throughhis, grasp and goes cn groping hopeless-ly in the dark while the -Brother on hisleft will grasp ii, and it will be the meansof making his own life a success andbringing comfort and enlightenment tomany others.

Opportunity is eternally before usand it is up for each individual to graspeach opportunity as they are presentedand to stamp the true value upon them.

One of the -first official acts of thepresent Grand Master upon assumingthe highest office in the Fraternity, was

Michael Goldenberg, seniorPast'Master of the todge, extolled tlesterling qualities of the Grand Masterand the interest he had shown in theLodge of which he is a charter member.'Wor. Bro. A. J. N. Gabler-Gumbert, In-spector of the Lodge, also made a fewremarks.

Nevdr before in the history of thisnation was there a greater opportunityafforied those who earnestly and con-

Our country needs trainedmen and womrn who are capable, hon-est, reliable, sincere, unafraid, and,above all else, loyal men who canaccept the bitter along with the sweetand still be able to smile; men with ima-gination and broad vision; men rrho arewilling to search the remote depths ofthe universe .in an effort to establishnew ideas and truths; men who ^cangive as graciousiy as they receiva; menwho are rea.l leaders, courageous andnoble in thought and deed; men woorealize that opportunity is TRAINING

One of the resolutions passed thatevening was to have the words of Nearer,MA God, to Th,ee printed and distributedat the funeial services in memory of th&Grand Master Clark James.

Mount tebanon Lodge No. 80, founded17 years ago, is the most cosmopolitanin the Far East, having 14 nationalitiesin its membershipr'almost every countryin Europe being represented in its rolls.Among those who held the gavel wercfour Jews, two Germans, one English-man, one Pole, gne Russian, one Syrian,two Filipinos, and several Americans.

Brethren, this is no preachment butit is a pray3r that shoutd be fresh onthe lips and minds of all men and Ma-sons whithersoever dispersed.

In this perilous hour of hate and un-rest Masonry can be a power of gr:atmagnitude in bringing about tranquilityand contentment, a greater love towardour Brothers and God,s children, andthe establishrnent of estability through.out the world which, aftet all, are thecardinal tenets of our great institutionand are of grave eoncern to all Misonseveryv;here.

F all the passions to whichhumankind is heir to, hateis the deadliest. It distortsthe sense of reason andbalance. It blots out ever]'

virtue and redeema,ble grace which manhas so painfully acquired. It is ablundering monster, which no vicious-ness in the whole catalogue of humanfrailties can eompare with progress, andadvancement has been set back cen-

turies by the periodic outbursts of thisdemon of passions.

Why do we hate? We hate because

the 'primitive in us still dominates, in

spite of the thousands upon thousandsof years of surface veneer and polishwhich advancing civilization has at-tained.. We hate because self, preser-vation still remains the first law of na-turre.'

In the march of tinte, every obstaclewhich stood in the way of wrestingfrom nature the wherewithal to sustainlife and provide us with a modicum ofcomfort and some luxury was attaehedv'ith a zeal of the inspired. AndthouAh nature yielded grudgingly, yieldshe did to the collective onslaught of themillions of hands of brawn and brain.In

",the harvest each had a weather eye

on...-getting enough.. to assure . security

for himself and as much for his poster-ity as agreed and conseiencg u'ould per-mit. This led to so rapid an advance-ment in trade and manufacture that inthe process little or no attention waspaid to developing the finer instinctsand conquering the base and primitivein us. And because we did not devel-ope a workable system of collective se-

curity there came a day when societyconsisted of a few "haves" and a largearmy of "have nots" each with a legiti-mate claim, yet of hopelessly divergentviews.

Issue was joined and the strugglecommenced. Vested rights pitted theirstrength against the vast millions re-sulting in class war and class hate.Fanning the fires of hate and strugglethere appeared in each camp charlatansand demagogues, whose sole stock intrade was a power to agitate. To stirup the passions, and separate the con-

tending factions by evel increasingdistance. Thus making a possible mu-tual solution to the problem eonfront-ing them impossible until saner counselwould .prevail. And. here we are in aworld iopsy-turvy with hate and intol-erance; with greed and insatiable lustf9r power of each over.. the other, theordei of the day.

Looking back in retrospect, we can

sdti that we mace a bad start. Hindin hand while wrestling with nature weshould have given as mu?h attention tosubduing our passions and to the spirit-ual adl-ancement of man aJ we- did tohis economic enhancem:nt. Had lrre

exerted as much energy in eliminatinggreed and the lust ro1' power as we didiR conquering nature, there might havebeen a different story io tell to-day.As the :natter stands, the- problemwhich confronts civilization is whatshall w-e do to bring about a new regen-eration of hope and progress basedon the happines of the many, withoutviolating certain sacred rights whichtime and practice have sanctioned.

Can the genius of men work out apeaceful solution; bring about afl or-dered economy which will spell seeu-rity to all who are willing to work andearn that security by the sweat of theirbrow? Is it possible b erbdicate hateand intolerance and make love of manfor man the guiding spiri! in all ourdealings? Such a thing is within therealm of possibility if we will attackthe problem honestly, min,,rs greed, andhate and intolerance. Turn deaf earsto charlatans and demagogues, and takeinto our confidence the voice of reasonand the commands of the Great Rulerof the Universe.

SUCH IS LIFEGetting oui this magazine is no picnic.If I prinl jokes, people say I am silly;If I don't, they say I am too seriouslIf I clip things from other magazines,

I am too lazy to write them myself ;If I don't, I am too fond of my own

stuff.If I don't print contributions, I don,t

appreciate true genius;If I do print them, the magazine ib

filled with junk.If I make a change, in the other

person's write up, I ain too critical.If I don't, I am asleep.Now like as not some of you will sayI swiped this from some other mag.a-

zine-I DID.

NIOTAS EUTORTAIBSV-AN NUESTROS SALUDOS AL M. I. HERMANO

]OSE DE LOS REYESon disposiciones de nuestra constituei6n, ya raiz de la muerte del Muy Ilustre HermanoClark James, nuestro Gran Delegado electeen nuQstra riltima Gran Comunicaci6n, M. I.Ilermano Jos6 de los lteyes, viene a ocupar

la silla de Gran Maestro.Desde muy temprana edad se hizo militar em-

pezando por las filas de simple soldado. For propiosmerecimientos fue escalando y ocupando diferentes ca:tegorias hasta retirarse con el grado de comandantegeneral.

Como buen soldado es disciplinado, y recordamosafin un discurso suyo cuando decia a los hermanos queninguna instituci6n por democr6tica que fuera podriasubsistir sino fuera a base de una fuerte disciplina.Es^dc los que dicen que debemos ser disciplinados, sinser tiranos.

Si la ciencia educa el espiritu, la masoneria pro-cura elevarlo a sus mas altas perfecciones para cono-cer la Suprema Verdad. Siempre decimos que la hu-manidad debe llegar a las mSximas ascenciones delespiritu.

Ha venido militando en las filas de la instituci6ndesde el aflo de 1911 y sostiene que la masonerla puedeprestar grandes servicios al ej6rcito haciendo llegara 'los miembros de 6ste nuestras elevadas y nobles in-seflanzas.

En el aflo de 1897, en preparaci6n para lb":se-gunda etapa de nuestra revoluci6n, nuestro Her, Jos6de los Reyeq se hizo urilitar. Y nos cuenta que rnuchoshermanos de nuestra propia raza, q:ue c.ayeron venci;dos en lucha leal, fueron objeto de caridad mas6nicipor el enemigo. Otro tanto decia de nuestros enemi-gos de armas que se daban a conocer que eran ma-sones.

reglas morales obedeee siempre a un sistema deterriri-nado de principios cientificos.

La masoneria no hace otra cosa que obedecer aeste sistema determinado de prineipios oientificos alenunciar sus grandes y sublimes m6ximas y preceptos.Por eso es ciencia.

Dicen que de la aerclad, no puede venir .l mt,como tampoco del ercor paede seguirse ningin bien.Y preguntamos, iqu6 ha heeho la madoneria desde losalbores de sus primeros dias que no fuera la'continuay desinteresada pr6ctica del bien? Por eso es Verdady por eso es Ciencia. ;No trabaja ella esforzada e-in-c-es-antemente para alejar de nuestro espiritu aquellasdeformidades y aberraciones que sor una traba parasu perfecci6n?

La masoneria somete a una misma disciplina an-u-estra_ mente y a nuestra voluntad, disciplina queobligando a nuestro entendimiento a conocer la Verdaily a -nuestra voluntad a practicar el. Bien, hace que elhombre vaya perfeccionSndose tanto.eir el mundo :in-telectual como en el rnoral. Esto es obra de la ma.so-neria y por eso es ciencia. ,:

Muy Ilustres Grandes Maestres;Damas y Caballeros;Hsvmsnss;-

OS hemos congregado hoy para cumplir unimportante como triste deber. Hemos ve'nido aqui para rendir juntos en la formam6s solemne nuestro riltimo homenaje,nuestro tributo de amor al amigo leal, al

homEie fondadoso, al compaflero obrero, nuestro MuyIlustre Gran Maestre Clark James.

Libre por fin de las ligaduras que le sujetaban aesta vida material, su espiritu ha emprendido su vuelohacia una nueva existencia que nuestra f6 nos dice es

mil veces mejor. il,e hemoS perdido para siempre !

Nosotros, que le hemos profesado un verdaderoafecto de hermano, la ofrenda m6s preciosa que hoypodemos ofrecer a su memoria son nuestras fervientesplegarias por el eterno descanso de su alma.

Resignados y obedientes a los sabios designios delGran Arquitecto del Universo, hemos venido prepa-rados para llevar a cabo el flltimo y muy triste deberde acompaflar a ese cuerpo inanimado que alli yaeeinerte y rigido al lugar de su postrer reposo, y deposi-tario en el regazo de la madre naturaleza de la que fu6formado y a la cual debe volver a reintegrarse.

En el:transcurso de los aflos en que €sq cuerpo fu6todo:vida y lleno de vigor, s6 prest6 todo entero y su-fri6 todos los rigores de \a forzada como fatigosa exis-tencia durante una larga peregrinaci6n en este vallede dolor y de enconadas 6 interminables luchas delhombre contra el hombre. Su alma ha volado al seno

The C^abletow

de su Creador para gozar de la vida gloriosa de las ai-mas que en esta existencia efime-ra vivierol, tro' lavida de molicie y placeres triviales, sino la vida ejem-plar del Dios-hombre, en la humildhd y en el trabajo,sirviendo la causa de la humanidad y practicando elbien por el bien mismo.

Ese cuerpo, hermanos mios, fu6 de un hombre bue-no y un buen Mason. Un hombre que labor6 honraday constantemente durante su vida de m6,s de dos-ter-cios de siglo. Ese hombre fu,6. Clark James. M6s dela mitad y los mejores aflos de su vida los dedic6 alservicio del gobierno de nuestro pueblo, y sus serviciosse caraeterizaron por eficientes y honrados. En sucari,cter de Mason ejecut6 una labor activa con verda-dero desinter6s, sinceramente y sin miras de lucro obeneficio personal. Trabaj6 con el solo prop6sito- deservir a sus semejantes y a la sociedad, difundiendola luz y las sanas doctrinas de la Masoneria. Habi6n-dole conocido personalmente por m5s de treinta aflos,me siento seguro de no equivocarme al decir que la hu-mildad, la tolerancia y la bondad formaron el sello dis.tintivo de su personalidad. Se gan6 el aprecio y elrespeto de cuantos de cerca conocieron su h.rmbria debien y sintieron Ia influencia de su trato afable y sin-cero.

Hermancs, este es el hermoso car6cter del com-paflero obrero cuya p6rdida todos lamentamos. Perosi hemos perdido $u colaboraci6n material, podemosestar seguros que su alma amiga continuard alent6n----donos en el futuro con el mismo amor, como en'el pa-.sado desde la Logia espiritual de nuestro SupremoGran Maestre que est6 en el Cielo.

iLa toluntad. de Dios sea cumplid,a!

%fi"/r%tWt,'

Oraci,6n pronunciada por el llustre Gran Delegad,o, H%o, Josd d,elos Reyes, en las ceremonio,s f{tnebres del M. I. Hno. Clark James,

LA LIBERACI6N HUMANA ES NUBSTRO OBJETIVO

Contittuaci.6n de la. pd,gina anteri,or

ciertos y determinados preceptos religiosos estatuidospor Ios hombres. De ahi naei6 la esclavitud poli-tica, o sea, la sujeci6n del pueblo a determinados in-tereses de partido o de banderia. De ahi naci6 lasujeci6n de naciones y eolectividades enteras a la fuer-za invasora de los m5s fuertes.

A eliminar en todo lo posible estas formas diver-sas de esclavitud tiende la masoneria. La masone-ria tiene por objetivo la liberaci6n humana.' i""o no es tan s6lo la liberaci6n del hombre dela, srijeci6n en que pudiera someterle sus semejantesa,.lg que tiende la masoneria. Tambi6n la liberacj6ndel hombre de sus propias pasiones es parte de suprograma de acci6n. Y por eso se dice que la ma-soneria debe ser escuela para Ias m6ximas asceneiones

del espiritu. Por eso se dice que los masones se edu-can en la esc:rela de la aerdad, de la certezo, de \a oit-tucl, del bi.en, del a,nl,ar, y de todas esas elelcitudes delespiritu. Por eso queremos la cultura en todos sus6rdenes y no s6lo para nuestros propios miembros,sino tambi6n para todos lcs hombres.

Se,. ha dicho que la vida es una sucesi6n de muer-tes y de resurrecciones. Puede ser que para el mundofisico esto sea una verdad; pero para el mundo moraly espiritual la vida es un ascenso cor^tinuo del hom- .bre hacia lo infbuito, sin muertes ni resur;e4ciones. Ya menos que actfe en un plano de verdao":r llhera-ci6n, el hombre no ha de ascender, no puede aseeibte,-hac,ia lo i,nfi,nito. Por eso es que la masoneiia titiii:

September, 1939

UNCA como hoy dia oimostanto de justicia social ylas consiguientes relacionesentre eI capital y el traba-jo. Por esto, creimos opor-

tuno acerearnos paia esta charla a un'-]rermano que con autoriCad pudiera de-

s]11-q_ algo sobre tan escabroso tema.El Yen. fier. Hyman M. Leviue, actualVen. Maestro de Ia Logia Mount Leba-non No. 80, es uno que tiene centenaresde hombres trabajando con 61, por lomismo que es el actual presidente ygerente general de la Bachrach MotorCo., Inc., empresa que es una de lasprimeras en lo que a los negocios 'de

transportaci6n y de autom6viles se re-{iere.

-;Le place a usted ser el Ven. Maes-

tro de la Logia Mount Lebanon No. 80?

-Me place desempeflar cualquier en:

cargo a que los hermanos me llamen,no import6ndome sus dificiles responsa-bilidades, pues, usted convendr6 conmi-go que nada en masoneria puede ser de

'r,-a=rrta responsabilidad eomo el estar em-- --firllwnando el r.allete de Ven. Maestro,

-Tengo entendido que su logia es una

de las m5s cosmopolitas. . .. . .

-Mi logia se enorgulleee de tener en'-.=\ seno como miembros activos a her-

manos de catorce diferentes nacionali-dades.

-Tambi6n tengo entendido que usted

- --tiene bajo su control a centenares deobreros como presidente y gerente ge-neral que es usted de la Bachraeh MotorCo. ......

-Y puede usted estar seguro que

tambi6n me place la experiencia que seva adquiriendo con el trato constante ydiario que uno tiene que llevar con per-sonas ^de diferentes temperamentos,idiosincracias y pasiones......

-;Y c6mo se las arregla usted?. . ....-Oh, eso es muy sencillo. Hoy se

habla mucho dv justi,cia socfol, y eso lohemos estado practicando en nuestrasrelaciones con nuestros obreros desdg quetuviera algo que ver con la firma qreahora manejo.

:-. - - .

-Justicia sooin); he ahi una frase quese emplea mucho h:t dia, pero que notodos entienden .....

-;,;;;; ;" .;;;;;; ;; i"i.,*i,,,que por justicia se debe entend'er en.rminos absolutos. Juristas muy cono-

cidos van definiendo lo que es o debeentender:se pot iusticia y no discutir6

Ven. Her,. Hyman M. Levinecon ellosl pero yo creo que la mejordefinici6n es la que nos da nuestro mo-nitor cuando nos dice que es esa normade conducta que nos capacita para qued6mos a cada uno lo que le es debidosin distinciones de ningrin g6nero, Estaes una virtud que no solamente est6 con-forme con eualquiera ley divina o huma-na, sino que tambi6n es y constituye elfundamento de toda sociedad civil,

-Aunque en su esencia la justicia es

inmutable, sin embargo, debemos eon-venir con Byron cuando 6l dice qroe aqudlque solamenta es justo es cruel. Estoes, que debemos humanizar el conceptode justicia, y, en cierto modo, hacer loque Franklin sqlia decir, que "la Piedady la Indulgencia deben caracterizar to-dos los actos de justia,ia." Y para mi,justicia social no es mas que la prScticade aquel principio de ir destinando cadacosa a los fines requeridos por su propianaturaleza.

-Justicia soeial es una idea m6s bienconcebida para mejorar las condicionesde r-ida de la clase obrera. Convengocon la idea de que no es esfuerzo per-dido el que se haga para aliviar de sucarga a cualquier sector de Ia humani-dad que sufre.

-TaI vez nos contrarie el saber queno siempre la idea de justicia social hade hacer que desaparezca\ la opresi6n,la esclavitud, las necesidades y otrascosas que deprimen el espiritu de Iaclase trabajadora. Sin embargo, debe-mos tener en cuenta que todo esto haexistido desde que el hombre es hombre,y seguir6 existiendo mientras no seeduque a esta clase a que sepan cultivarsu inteligeneia, a que aprendan a vencersus pasiones, a luchar contra sus propiosvici.rs, que son la causa de que en laJontienda en la vida lleven siempre unadesventaja.

con economias, no desperdiciar sus sa-larios en vicios, ha de mirar por unaeducaci6n propia para sus .hijos, es de-cir, ha de hacer que su hogar sea deun mundo civilizado y no de una socie-dad corrupta.

-Pero si por ,justicia sociol se ha de

entender tan s6lo la justicia pata laclase trabajadora, sin atender los inte-reses del capital, es decir, sin ser justostambi6n para el capital, esa idea dejusticia sociol, lejos de ser una bendi-ci6n, seria el principio que ha de car.comer la sociedad civil. El capital yel trabajo han de estar siempre coali-gados por 1o mismo que no son elemeutosantag6nicos. Son simplemente elementosque se eomplementan, y por esto mismodeben ir siempre como cogidos de lamano.

-Es por esto mismo que la masoneria

al aplicar la justicia la aplica para todoslos hombres en sus diferentes estaeiones,en sus diferentes clases, y, si se quiere,en sus diferentes categorias. La man-neria no ha de querer la iusticia, sosialaplicada tan s6lo para la clase trabaja-dora, sino tambi6n para el capital.Cualquiera que estudie nuestros ritualescomprender6 enseguida que la masoneriaes una apote6sis del trabajo, que susprincipales emblemas son las herramien-tas del obrero. El mismo mandil quellevamos dentro de nuestros talleressimboliza el trabajo, la labor, el esfuerzodel mas6n operativo. Un obrero es elpersonaje principal en nuestra leyenday se le hace aparecer en escena en com-paflia de reyes. No obstante todo esto,por lo mismo que la masoneria es justa,no quiere, no puede querer, que el prin-cipio de justicia social sea aplicado tans61o a uno de los elementos que son so-cios en una empresa comdn, sino a aur-bos elementos-el capital y el trabajo almismo tiempo.

-Quiero enfatizar esto por lo mismd

que en 6sta u otras doctrinas siempreexisten hombres a quien llamariamosertremistas. Y pudiera ser que alguienimbuido de este espiritu sostenga la ideade que el principio de justicia sosial sedebe aplicar tan s6lo a los intereses delobrero sin atender a las neeesiilades eintereses del capital. Es nuestra misi6n,eomo masones, ver que este principio seaentendido por todos en estos sus verda-deros limites.

Muy Ilustres Dignatarios de la GranLogia, queridos Hermanos, Damas yCaballeros:-

A Muy Respetable Gran Lo-gia de Masones Libres Y

Aceptados de Filipinas est6

de luto. La parca implacabl:ha vuelto a asestar su golPe

Maestre de la Instituei6n, nuestro muyquerido y nunca bastante bien lloradoHermano Clark James.

Si, eI Hno. James ha Pasado al Orien-

te Eterno. Ese cad6ver que hoy tene-

mog en este augusto recinto Y que en

vida fu6 la envoltura corporea de un

alma noble, nos d6 un testimonio tan-gible del mal que tanto nos aflige en

esta ocasi6n. Su muerte deja entre no-

sotros, en triste y desconsoladora hor-

fandad, a una acongojada esposa, Y

ailende los mares a una anciana madre,

hijas y otros allegados quienes, ta| vez

en estos precisos momentos, lloran tam-

bi6n ta p6rdida del ser querido. Para

Ia fraternidad Francmas6nica- 'esa

muerte significa la irreparable p6rrlid:r

de un obrero ejemplar, y para Ia Crarr

Logia de Filipinas, la de uno de sirs

piincipales pilares.

Al hablar hoY del Hno. James no

puedo menos de recbrdar con amor, Ies-

peto y gratitud las muchas finezas te-cibidas de su parte cuando all6 por los

aflos de 1916 Y 1917, tuve el grato Pr!iilegio de estar estrechamente asociado

eon 6l en la provincia de Bulacan,

siendo 6l entonces el Tesorero Provin-

cial de aquella provincia y yo eI uflcial

mayor, o "chief clerkr" db su oficina.

Entonces tuve ocasi6n de apreciar el

caudal de innata bondad que atesoraba

en su corazbrr. Nuestras relaciones,

m6s bien que las del jefe con el subor-

dinado, eran las muy cordialeg ,le un

amigo con otro amigo, o Para deci-:ic

con m6s precisi6n, las de un hermano

mayor eon gu hermano menor. Y esto

lo hacia sin exclusivismo, pues el .ais-

mo trato bondadoso recibian los demSs

plivados. A grandes y a pequeflos, a jefes

tenia la rara virtud de conquistar de

un modo espont6neo las simpatias de

todos.

Lo mismo s: dice de 6l en la pro-

vincia de Pangasinan a donde fu6 tras-ladado despu6s y donde permaneci6 porm6s de veinte affos. Y tan cierto es

esto que alli decidi6 ligar su suerte de

segundas nupcias con una hija de aque-

lla provincia. Cuando alguien le prc-

guntaba si no pensaba volver a Lm6-

rica, solia contestar: "No, he hecho de

Filipinas mi segunda patria y aqru'i he. --de morir." En efecto, iwi ryat2

/

Es una l6stima que el estado de su

salud primero y su subsiguiente muer-

te despu6s, no le permitieran ejercerplenamente las funciones de su elevado

cargo de Gran Maestre de Ia Gran Lo-

gia de Filipinas. Todavia resuena en

mis oidos el timbre emocionado y tem-

bloroso de su voz cuando, eu su discurso

inaugural,. dijo las siguientes o pare-

cidas palabras: "I consider my elec-

tion to this exalted position as a pre-

cious treasure, more valuable than gold

and silver, t,Lat I can transmit to my

children." Expresi6n es e:ta gue de-

muestra de un modo eiocuente eI ele.

vado concepto gue tenia formado -dEI-

cargo que entonces acababa de asufiif---y su decidido prop6sito de hacerse dig-no del mismo. No cabe duda que si hu-

biera vivido y mejorado de salud, ha-bria puesto a.contlibuci6n para eI se-J-vicio de los intereses de la fraternidad,toda la capacidad de su esclarecida in-teligencia y todo el entusiasrno y devo-r -ci6n de su alma de convencido uas.ia"

Pero, hermanos mios y amigos, ya

que por designios inexcrutables del GranArquitecto el M. I. G. M, H. James ha

ido a morar a otras regiones, nuestro

deber es continuar su obra no termi-nada, emulando sus muchas y grandes

virtudes y cultivando en nuestros co-

razones ia misma entusiasta devoci6n que

6l tuvo por los ideales de Ia Orden.

Resignemonos, pues, y .ofrendamos a

su memoria, cual p6stumo tributo de

nuestras intraflables afeccicnes, nues-

tro simb6lico :'qmo de acacia. Recon-

fortemos nuestros €s1l.itus con la idea _de que su alma ha pasa le a morar en

un mundo mejor, a1l6 donoe li! -exis-ten miserias r:i sinsabores, donde el q

reina es Dios.

Ycung people derive an amplc amount of exer-cise from play. It is the adult-the family breacl-winner, the houservife who goes unexerci,sed. Form \the habit of partially walking to work. Hiking u-- --.-an instructive and an excelleht pastime. Hike-into the country. Ror,v a boat or banca. Make agai'den-this is a fin,e soulce of real pleasure as _well as good exercise. ------'The gymnasium and golf course are other excel-lent places to obtain exercise for tho,se who canafford them. Morning setting-up exercises 'are

provided by radio broad-cast programs or by em-ploying an ordinary phonograph.

However, before undergoing the stress and straritof any intense physical activity to which one i,sunaccustomed, it is desirable-particularly for,older persups-to have a thorough medical examina-tion.

Our agriculturalforebears, before the advent cf power farming,derived more than an ample supply of exercisefollowing the plow and harvesting their crops ortending their herds.

For most of us all this is past. And though wemay have occasion to rejoice cver our emancipa-tion from drudgery we, nonetheless, are not Treedfrom the toll in ill health we must pay becauseof insufficient exercise. We sit at desks, ride backand forth to work, rarely calling upon our bodiesfcr the energy required of it to keep in normalhealth.

Exercise serves a wide variety of bodily needs. Itmay serve to improve .posture, to increa.sestrength, vigor endurance, beauty to correct phy-sical defects.
