Three Grand Lodge Officers - the Grand Secretary, theGrand Lecturer and the undersigned - accompanied by anumber of brethren and their wives made a tour abroad inconnection with the Grand Master's visitation to our Subor-dinate Lodges there. Leaving Manila on May 28, they stayedin Hongkong for a day where they were met at the airportby several Indian brothers residing in that colony. Frornthere they flew to Taipeh where M. W. Bro. George W. Chen,Grand Master of China, and his party welcorned them at theairport and offered them a dinner at night. The gatheringconsisted of brethren of different nationalities and shortspeeches were delivered. It \,vas evident from all theactuations and landmarks that Freemasonry in that isolatedisland is a living foree. From there they flew to Okinawawhere Very Worshipful Brother William P. Schwager andother brethren met them at the airport. The party stayedfor two days in Okinawa where they were lavishly treatedand entertained by the Worshipful Masters and Brethren ofour two lodges on that island. TVhile there, the Grand Masterand the Grand Secretary accompanied by the Very Worship-ful William P. Sehwager and the Worshipful Masters of thetwo lodges, Bros. 'W'allace H. Morris and Roger R. Pogue,made a courtesy call on Lt. General Caraway, the Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. Armed Forces. From there the GrandMaster's party flew to Japan.

Here, the Grand Lodge Officers of Japan headed by MostWorshipful Grand Master George B. Morgulis, tendered adinner in their honor. The meeting was pleasant and cordial.In a short extemporaneous speech, Grand Master Pedro M.Gimenez. extended the fraternal greetings of the Grand Lodgeg! the Fhilippines to the Grand Lodge of Japan and invitetlM. W. Bro. George B. Morgulis to visit the Philippines so

4A1JUNE, I963

that the officers of its Grand Lodge might be afforded auopportunity to reciprocate their very kind 4eeeption. At thatgathering, both Bro. Morgulis and Bro. Gimenez agreed tocontinue the cordial fraternal relations existing between thetwo Grand Lodges as before. It was emphasized that Mason-ry is a universal fraternity, so that whether one belongs toone jurisdiction or another, all Masons are bound by the samebrotherhood regardless of faith, religion or race.

In Japan, the three subordinate lodges under the GrandLodge of the Philippines, namely, Kanto Lodge No. 143, Yoko-suka Lodge No. 120, and Rising Sun Lodge No. 151, met aia joint meeting at Yokosuka Naval Base where the GrandOfficers of the Philippines \Mere received with due honors.The brethren of those lodges, composed mostly of Amerieannationals, were all kind and hospitable.

One thing which impressed the undersigned and the otherofficers of our Grand Lodge was the unusual proficiency withwhich our American brethren in those islands performed theirritualistic work. They did it with utmost solemnity and pre-cision.

The resuit of our visitations strengthened once more theties of brotherly affection that bind the members of our an-cient Fraternity.

In the name of the Grand Lodge of Free and AeceptedMasons of the Philippines, I wish to convey again our fra-ternal greetings to all our brethren abroad and to express ourgrateful appreciation and gratitude for the kind attentionand hospita-lity they extended to my party.

May our fraternal relations grow stronger as the yearsgo by so that our unity, by our behaviour and by our goodexamples, we may be able to attract to our fold men of virtuesand worth.

EditorialTODAY'S YOUTH - TOMORROW'S MASON

Suecessful leadership in youthful society today appears tobe measured in terms of violence and brute force. It seemsto be more a question of how much they can get away with,rather than how closely they can abide by the law. Head-lines shock the public with the details of adult crimes com-mitted by these youngsters in satisfaction of their brute appe-tites which appear to be best appeased by challenging socialdiscipline and substituting physical disregard for heroic cour-age. Yet, when brought to trial by law enforcing agencies,the public is again shocked at the thought of meting out adultpunishment for adult crimes.

It is not courageous to engage in suicidal contests to de-termine leadership. It is outright stupidity ! Anyone candestroy! Any competition that seeks to determine how closetwo or more teenagers can come to destroying themselves andstill survive does not demonstrate intelligent skill. It is asimple throw back to survival of the fittest using twentiethcentury implements instead of caveman techniques.

Unfortunately, these thrill seekers do not confine theii:destructive efforts to members of their own set. Their evilpractices are often directed upon other innocent members ofsociety. In many cases others less physically able to defentlthemselves, are overporfi/ered by teenage gangs that thrive ontorture and atrocity, mueh the same as a pack of wild dogswill destroy a domesticated animal that has left the jungleand learned to love instead of kill.

How can this situation be corrected? Many celebratededueators and dedicated specialists have devoted their lives tothe solution of this problem, yet little has been accomplished.No complete answer can be immediately found, regardless ofwhere or how we search. We can not blame entirely the in-adequacy of our schoolsproblem is not new andalone.

Technological advancemenLs have made such giganticstrides in recent years that our soeial environment is a jetage setting for the age-old problem of 'adole;cence.

Ourgrandparents no doubt regarded the youth of their day muchthe same as we regard ours today. They looked for solutionsto their problems and while finding some, were not able tokeep pace with the destructive side effects that advancingcivilization has produced.

It is about time organized society recognizes the impor-tance of this vital problem and applies eorrective measuresas radically different as may be neeessary to onee and for allbring it to a permanent halt, objeetively and without sub-jeetive emotional sympathy.

Meanrvhile, however, there is much that can be done bythose among us who are not trained experts in this subject.As parents we can change our own \4/ays of life at home andoutside the home so as to make our relationship with ourchildren one of inspiration and purposeful direction. 'We candevote our all out efforts toward insoiring our ehildren tofollow our ways and not to follow the ways of misguidedfriends. This will take time and effort on the part of parentsand most of all sacrifice of the parent's personal desires.The parent must make his first goal in life the productionof the perfect offspring trained and conditioned to enter thesocial world and bear his share of the burdens of civilizationintelligently.

The family as a social unit is breaking up because mod-ern facilities make it too easy f,or members of the family togo out of the home for entertainment and personal satisfae-!iql. I_f _the parents set this example, it will definitely befollowed by the children. On the other hand, if we wani theyoyth- of today to be strong, intelligent, progressive, respect-ful citizens of tomorrow, parents must-start now to makethis their main objective in life, rendering all else secondarythereto.

An Assembly of Rainbow for Girlshas just been formed in Saigon, VietNam, the only one on the Continentof Asia. The idea was conceivedon Sunday, November 4, 1962, inthe Junior High Sunday SchoolClass of the Protestant InternationalChurch of Saigon. At that time,Major Leo A. Hatten, US Army,was teaching the class of 30 studentsin grades 7, 8, and 9. Therewere many complaints particularlyfrom the girls that there was noth-ing to do socially in Saigon. Thisgave Major Hatten the idea to tryto form a Rainbow Assembly inorder to help out in the situation.

One of the brightest and mostpersonable young ladies in the classwas l{-year old Nancy Newman,daughter of Colonel and Mrs. New-man; US Air Force, of MAAG VietNam. Nancy was approached withthe idea of starting an AssemblYin Saigon, and she was very enthu-siastic about it. This was quite en-couraging to Major Hatten, and be-tween the two of them they gotLinda Newman, Nancy's youngersister, interested in the idea too.Both girls were asked to talk theidea up among their friends atschool during the following week,to see what the reception would be.

By the following Sunday, Novem-ber Il, 1962, Nancy and Linda hadcaused five or six more girls tobecome interested in Rainbow. Mri-

or Hatten then dispatched a letterto the Supreme Recorder of Rain-bow, Mrs. Leta Sexson in McAles-ter, Ohlahorna, requesting informa-tion how to start the Assembly.

Mrs. Sexson was very enthusiasticabout the idea also, and she wroteback immedately. On November 19,her reply was received in Saigonoutlining the requirements that anAdvisory Board would be formedconsisting of Masons and EasternStar members; that a sponsoringbody be found, and that twenty-five girls must be taken into theintial class.

Major Hatten then contactedChief Ji- Boggs, N"ry Section]\{AAG, who was then Vice Presidentof the lliram Club of Saigon. ChiefBoggs was most interested in theproject, and he in turn contactedseveral others. Chief Richard But-terfield, US Nary Exchange wa$added to the list, and this was awelcome addition because he hadbeen working with Rainbow in Ca-lifornia prior to coming to Viet Nam.Master Sergeant and Mrs. C. W.Yeager, MAAG Advisory, were con-tacted by Bro. Boggp. Major Hattenbrought Warrant Officer DonivanAllen, and Sergeants Ray Duffieldand John Housewright from the 3rdRadio Research Unit at Tan SonNhut Airport. The last to join wasMrs. Phyllis Hunt, schoolteacher andr,vife of Colonel Wheeler Hunt ofMAAG Vietnam.

THE CABTE TOW

These interested personnel cameto the first meeting of the tenta-tive Advisory Board in the home ofChief Boggs on Friday, November23, 1962. Major Hatten was electedChairman of the Board, and someresolutions were passed. It was de-cided to ask the Hiram Club ofSaigon to sponsor the Assembly, andit was also voted to ask for financialsuPPort from the Masons.

On Tuesday night, December ll,1962, Maajor flatten, Chief Boggs,and Chief Butterfield went beforethe Hiram Club and presented thevarious requests. The Hiram Clubvoted to sponsor the Assembly, theAdvisory Board was appointed, and$100.00 was advanced toward form-ing the Assembly. A request lbrLetters Temporary was mailed totr,IcAlester that same night.

Right away the various membcrsof the Board and their friendsamaong the Teen group began sign-ing girls up for joining the Rain-bow. By the first week in January1963 there were 22 petitions withaccompanying fees in the hands ofthe Advisory Board, and a concerteddrive was begun to get the required25 at least. This paid off, and bythe second week of January therewere 30 girls who had petitionedand paid fees.

On Saturday, January 12, 1963the first election of officers washeld in the home of Mrs. PhyllisHunt to select the first slateof officers. Miss Barbara Bushrvas elected to be the first WorthyAdvisor, Sussie Hunt as Worthy As-sociate Advisor, Susie Adams as

Charity, Nancy Newman as Hope,Alice Ahlgren as Faith, Sandy Mc-Clure Treasurer, and .Maile Miller

JUNE, I963

as Recorder. At this time also theAdvisory Board selected Mrs. I{untas the first Mother Advisor.

Immediately there began practic-ing and rehearsals, in getting readyfor the Instituting and Initiation.The Officers of the Hiram Clubwere asked to be the InstitutingOfficers. All was in readiness bythe night of Tuesday, Febmary 19,and on that date history was madein Viet Nam. The Assembly wasofficially Instituted that night, andthe first class of 30 girls Initiated.Nliss Susie Adams, who was one ofthe two who had previous Rainbowexperience, gave the Pot of Goldlecture with outstanding ability.Two weeks later after more labor-ious practice and work, Miss BarbaraBush was installed as the firstWorthy Advisor on the Continento[ Asia.

Since that time the girls have en-gaged in many worthwhile projects,the main one being "adopting" anorphanage for children of lepers.The girls go down during free timeand care for the babies. This is themost unselfish of charity, for {tmeans giving ones self. The lovethe girls give these young babies willbe repaid a thousand fold in thelives of the little ones they colltact.

On April 27, the Masons in Sai-gon held their yearly Charity Din-ner. In years past this had been abig dance and fun show, but sincedancing has been banned in VietNam by a morality law, this lvasonly dinner with a floor show. Onebenevolent Mason invited the entireRainbow Assembly, including theMother Advisor, with their escorts.At ten dollars a ticket, this wasquite an act of good will on the

407

part of the brother who preferredto remain anonymous. All of thegirls went and had a wonderful time.There had been lots of work inbuilding the assembly, and now itwas time to play. The girls lookddlovely in their new formals, and itmade the party more than worth-rvhile.

On May 8, 1963, the second elec-tion of officers was held, which ad-vanced Miss Susie Hunt to the East.It is fitting and righr that she isthere, for she was very interested

from the start, and hers was the firstpetition turned in. Installation ofOfficers was. held on May 29 atthe Vietnamese-American Associa-tion Building in Saigon, and a Iargeappreciative crowd attended.

For the adults who helped tofound this organization in Saigon,it was a lot of work and heartaches.It is all worthwhile, however, whena parent proudly introduces him-self to the Board and says proudly,"My daughter is a member of thatRainbow Assembly."

THE FAITH TO BE FREE

Ours is the greatest Republic inthe history of mankind. Our home-land rvas can'ed out of a vast rr.il-rlerness by heroic men and womenrrho t'ere determined that at any( ost that their children and theirchiiciren's children might live inIreedom under God. It is our sacredresi;onsibilitv to help prorect thar.heritage and to preserve it for futurcgeneratrons.

I r.r'ould like to be able to reportthat the internal enernies of our so-ciety have virtually disappeared -that they have faded into ths ciimpast like the dangers of the wagontrail and the Northwest frontier.But this is not so. From the depthsof our criminal and subersive urr-derworlds strong enemies - deadlyenemies - continue to challenge theright of decent Americans to live infreedom and dignity under God.

Today, \^re are facing a crimeproblem of such magnitude that itrePresents an acute danger to ournational survival. There is a seriousweakening of moral and spiritual fi-bers in our society. 'We must neverforget that a vitiated state of morals,a corrupted public conscience, is in-compatible with true freedom.

During the past decade, crime hasnearly doubled across the UnitedStates, outpacing the growth of ourpopulation at the rate' of four to

JUNE, I963

one. A murder is committed every58 minues. There is a vicious as-sault every four minutes; a forciblerape every 34 minutes; a robberyevery six minutes; a burglary every39 seconds.

Crime is no respecter of age, race,or creed. Each year, ths cost ofcrime climbs higher and higher un-til it norv has reached an alarmingtotal of more than sixty million dol-lars each day.

Year af ter year, we find thatnearly half of the persons arrestedfor burglaries and larcenies and al-most two-thirds of those arrested forautomobile thefts are less than l8years of age. America's juvenilecriminality is directly traceable tothe failure of adults to meet theirmoral obligations. In all too manycases the primary responsibilityrests with the parents. If respect forlaw and order and for the rights ofothers were instilled in children atan early age and if parents set aproper example for their children,we might keep juvenile delinquencyfrom.becoming the door to careersrn crrme.

I can see no difference betweenthe responsibility of a 17 or 18 year.old who wilfully robs, assaults, ormurders and that of an adult whocommits the same crime. Eachshould be held strictly accountable

409

for his act against societY. Theseare not juvenile delinquent-s. Theyare vicious young lhugs' TheYshould be treated accordinglY. Ishare with Blackstone the Premisethat the main strength and force ofa law consists in he penalty annexedto it.

The most deeply entrenchedforces of the underworld in our Na-tion todav are the professionals whocompromise the jealously guardedranks of o.rgan'ized crime. Theseare the criminal elite, assuming anair of legitimacy, who bry high.priced legal advisers, better term.ed"lawyers criminal," and "front men"to shield them from proper punish'ment.

These underworld characters withtheir criminal scum flout the sacri-fices - the blood, the sweat, and thetoil of six generations of dedicatedAmericans which secured thefreedoms they enjoy. These Personswear out constitutional guaranteesas a cloak of protective armor. Theyare unrestrained by those moralconsiderations which constitute thelifeblood of a democracy. In theireyes, the United States is a haven ofrights without responsibilities - ofprivirleges free from obligation tothe society which has made thempossible. Theirs is a virulent, para-sitic existence consuming the life-blood of the freedom which theywould enjoy.

Unfortunately, they are assistedall too often by public lethargy andby lsome jurists obsessed with thevirtues of legal technicalities as wellas by theoreticians with the soft ap-proach who purport to be expertsin the field of ]aw enforcement andpenology. Justice is not impartial-

4t0

lv meted out when the victim andstciety suffer while the criminalgo.r i.ee.

We in America emPhasize thegreat value of liberty and the im-portance of sympathY for the ac-

iused. The law-abiding citizen is

entitled to more consideration onthe part o[ our courts. The basicpurpbse of the criminal law is toproiect society, not the criminal. Asas eminent Justice of our UnitedStates Supreme Court observed,"The neceisity of public protectionagainst crime is being submerged byan overflow of sentimentalitY."

In this Nation, disrespect for larvancl order is a tragic moral sicknesswhich attacks and destroys theAmerican traditions of honesty, in-tegrity and fair play. Directly orindirectly, its victims include everyman, woman and child in the Unit-ed States. It is a national scandalthat the streets of many of our citiesare as fraught with danger as thejungle trail.

Each of us to his fullest capacitymust help shoulder the burden ofthis growth of lawlessness and striveto end it. Our Nation's moralstrength has slipped alarmingly.One cannot preach morality andpractice immorality; national cor-ruption is the sum total of individ-ual corruption. We must followthe teachings of God if we hope toheal this moral illness.

The FBI is conducting an "allout" war on crime. The entire lawenforcement profession has neverbeen more united in the fightagainst crime than it is today. How-ever, in order to achieve the desiredresults, Iaw enforcement must havethe solid backing of every decent

THE CABLE TOW

citizen. The striving for law andorder, for human decency, for equalopportunity, is a Ynatter of con-science, public and private.

So long as dishonesty and evasionof responsibility are tolerated, it isinevitable that law enforcementwill mirror this breakdown in themoral fiber of our society. But, ifrve continue to progress in the trad-ition of free men, with adequatesafeguards against any invasion ofthe rights and dignity of the indi-vidual, we will ultimately achievevictory over those who defy law andorder throughout our great Nation.

Today marks the 20th anniversa-ry of a tragic event in our history

- the attack on Pearl Harbor whichtriggered America's entry into World\t/ar If. That war cost the lives of400,000 Americans courageousmen who, at a time of gravest need,sprang forward in the noble tradi-tion of their forefathers to defendthe cause of freedom with theirIives. But now, two decades ater,in Europe, in Asia and in the neigh-boring areas of the Western Hemi-spherg we find stark evidence of agrim truth - that liberties once wonmust constantly be defended.

During our generation, a newmenace - international communism

- has arisen to threaten free menthroughout the world. Actually,there is little basic difference be-tween the fascism of Adolf Hitlerand the atheistic tyranny practicedbehind the Iron Curtain. Thc So-viet Union and her satellites are agodless dictatorship ruled by warpedand twisted minds.

'We are at war with the Commu-nists, and the sooner every red-blooded American realizes this thesafer we will be! .Naturally, we

JUNE, 'I963

want to live in peace, but we donot want peace at any price - \trewant peace with honor and integri-ty. And we intend to assure it forthe future.

The extent of the menace posedby the philosophy of communism is

ciear-cui and obvious. flowever, itis absolutely necessary that we at-tack and oppose it calmly, rational-ly and objectively. \Me must con-tinue to stiffen our national back-bone in dealing with the Commun-ists and their dupes, sympathizers,and apologists. If we relax our guardfor one moment, we court nationaldisaster.

The atheistic Communist dictator-ship now conffols one-fourth of theearth's surface and more than one-third of her peoples. The Com-munist threat from without mustnot blind us to the C<;mmunistthreat from within. The latter isreaching into the very heart ofAmerica through its espionageagents and a cunning, defiant, andlawless Communist Party, which isfanatically dedicated to the Marxistcause of world enslavement and thedestruction of the foundations ofof our Republic.

The Communist Party in thiscountry has attempted to infiltrateand subvert every segment of oursociety. The Party's efforts havebeen thwarted in this countrv by theGovernment's internal security pro-grams, by investigation, arrest andprosecution of Party functionariesand by widespread intelligent publicopposition to the Communist philo-sophy.

Recently, the Communist Partyin the United States deliberatelyand flagrantly refused to complywith United States Supreme Court

4ll

decision which rerluires it to registeras an agent of the Soviet Unionwith the Attorney General. There-b1,, it once again has formally de-clared itself to be a larvless organi-zation. No longer can its s)/mpa-thizers and fellow rravelers feign in-nocence of the true nature of theun-American conspiracy which theysuPport.

Unfortunately, \{c are ltlague?l-r.r'ith some Soviet apologists rvho,timc after time, woulcl have us be-tray tlle cause of international free-rlom an<l justice by yielding ro theRcrl fascists in thc Kremlin on viralrnoral issues. \,\re also have in our"midst some timid souls who have solittle faith in rlle srren€ith of therlemocracy that they would have ourcountry yield to internationalthreats and intimidation.

meaning of [reedom. They do notcompreirencl the misery of Clommun-ist enslavernerrt. You will not fir.r<ltheir cheap slogans on the lips ofthe Hungarian refugees, the EastGerman patriots nor other freedom-loving peoples who have escapedfrom behind the Iron Curtain.

Nor rlo you find their apologiesin thc writings of g'eat Americanpatriots such as: Patrick Henry, whoasked the searching question, "IsIife so dear, or peace so sweet, as tobe purchased at the price of chainsand slavery?"; or Benjamin Frank-lin, who declared, "They rhat carrgive up essential liberty to obtaitra little tempomry safety deservesneither libertv nor safety"; or Sam-ucl Adams, who reminded us that"The liberties of our country. . .

are urorth clefending at all hazards;and it is our duty to defend themagainst all attacks. We have rc-ceivecl them as a fair inheritancefrom our worthy ancestors... (rvho)purchased them for us with toil andclanger...."

In the fight to presert'e our Re-public, it is not enough merely tobe against crime, against subversionor aEainst any of the other enemieswhich weaken the Nation's srrengrhfrom within. To stand for theAmerican ideal, to work for thecause of liberty and justice - rhesegive true meaning to Iife in thisRepublic. If we are to resist effec-tively the eroding influence of com-rnnnism, it is imperative that allcitizens of this Nation exhibit inmore positive ways the value andsuperiority of our form of govern-rnent over any foreign ideology.

Let us also work for a revolution- a revolution by the spirit, not by

Let us be for Amer-ica all thc rray; but, at the sametime, Iet rrs not be taken in by thoservho promote hysteria by the distor-tion and misrepresentation of thetrue facts whether they be the pro-ponents of the chauvinism of theextreme right or the pseudo liberal-ism of the extreme left.

At another hour of grim challengea full century ago, Abraham Lin-coln urged the American people,"Let us have faith that right makesright, and in that faith let us tothe end dare to do our duty as weunderstand it."

We are living in an age if un-certainty - an age of awesomg na-tional peril - an age when thestruggle between freedom and total.

itarian enslavement is drawing to.ward a climax. We now have needof faith as never before in our Na-tion's history. We must revivewithin ourselves the faith of ourforefathers, which enabled them tomeet and overcome adversity.

Our Nation holds in trusr thelast hope of a free civilization. Ourdedication to truth, justice anrl in-dividual dignity must not be com-promised. If we are strong enough,ancl care enough, and maintain ournational integrity, this Nation willsurvive the terrible threat that pre-sents itself today. With God's help,we will meet the challenge of sur-vival. This is the heritage ofAmerica.

W HAT IS F REEI},IAS ONRY ?

[Extracted from the book of that title by Robert J. Lewinski, Ph. D., pub"

lished by the Masonic Service Association, Washington, D'C', U'S'A']

Freemasontl is a sYstem of moral'ity, aeiled ii allegory, and' illustra-ia Uy symbols. This is the classic

definition of the Craft - one insuch general use that it has virtuai-ly beiome the accepted definitio-n.fhere are others, however, amPlifY-ing the above, which are lvorthY ofnole. Albert Gallatin MackeY con-tencls that Freemasonry "is a science

which is engaged in the search afterdivine truth." JosePh Fort Newtonoffers a very comPrehensive defini-tion taken from the German Hand'buch, characterizing it as the bestdescription given so far:

"Masonry is the activitY ofclosely unitecl men l\rho, emPIoY-i.g symbolical forms borrowedprincipally from the masotr's tradeand frorn architecture, work forthe welfare of mankind, strivingmorally to ennoble themselves andothers, and thereby to bring abottta universal league of Mankind,they aspire to exhibit even nowon a small scale."

No useful purpose would be serv-ed by presenting the many otherexisting definitions of Freemasonry,the majority of l,vhich contain com-mon elements. At best, any defini'tion can give only a meager desclip-tion of the philosophy of the organ-ization, and amplification is l)otonly helpful, but necessary. Thisis provided by the ll[asonic Creed,enrbracing tl'te Masonic Belief and

414

the i\4asonic Teaching, rvhich maYbe found in the lvlasonic edition o[the Holy Bible published bY theA. J. Holman Company of Philadcl'phia:

"The Masonic Belief

backgtound, one must take the logical position that todaY the two areinsefarable. This being so, the fol-folowing seeurs to be an accpetabledescriptive conclusion: Freemasonryis an- organizntion, membcrshiP inuhich is contingent uPon a Profes*ed belief in God and immortalitY,siltsctibing to a moral PhilosoPhYlounded on the principle of theBrotherhood, of Man, taught bY

means of allegory and sym.bols.

An allegory is a narrative, fre'quently illustrating a moral truth,in rvhich the true meaning is con-cealed, thereby requiring interpreta-tion and permitting the meaning tobe deduced from the story which istold. That Freemasonry teaches bY

allegory is neither new nor unique.Allegory creates interests in abstractsubjects by presenting them in auattractive form; it stimulates inde-pendent thinking to discover theveiled context. The use of allegoryis common in Greek and Romanmythology, in the Bible, and inearly as well as contemPorary liter'ature.

In discussing the use of allegoryin Freemasonry, J. O. Ball assertsthat

"In seeking why Nlasonry istaught in allegories, instead of bylogical statements of truth in di-rect form, we may answer that iumany ages truth has been taughtby allegories and parables, in or-der that the mind may conceivegreat and fundamental truths bycomparison with simple things.Some think that Masonry istaught by types, emblems, andallegorical figures in order toconceal the thought. . . On thecontrary, the parable or allegorymakes the thought . clear to the

thinking mind, but only aftera certain effort in thinking thething through."The use of symbols is of ancient

origin, being particularly evidentamong the religious antiquity as a

method of communication. Symbolsare signs, - usually objects whichinstantaneously bring to the mindof the observer an idea or conceptwhich would otherwise take thou-sands of words to express. Thus thetriangle, a familiar religious sym-bol, represents the Trinity, or thethree attributes of the Deity. InIaw, a common symbol is the bal'lanced scales, representing the ideaof justice and impartiality. Thered cross is a well-known symbol ofmercy, charity, and medicine. Theregality. The owl symbolicallyct'olln has been for centuries a sym-bol of authority, suprernacy, andbrings to mind wisdom, scholarship,ancl learning. Colors have adoptedmeanings and have become symbols,

- white indicating peace and puri-t),; black, death and depression;blue, tranquility and benevolence;red, zeal and aggression.

The symbols used in Freemason-ry are those taken from the craft ofthe early Masons, each having itsown meaning and each conveyinga moral precept when perceived.Hence, tlle square and comPasses,

the traditional emblem of Freema-sonry, have a particular signific'ance for the Maiter Mason, as dothe other working tools of the Craft,such as the plumb, leael, commortgauel, and trowel. IncidentallY,there is no "secret" concerning thesymbols of Freemasonry, their mean'irigs having been described in nu-rnerous publications, like I PochetEnqclopedia of Ma,sonic SYmbols

415.

published by The Masonic ServiceAssociation of the United States.

\Arithin the structure of Freema-sonry itse,l.f, there have developedparticular systems of Masonic phi-losophy, each varying somewhat initS point of view as ro the pu,rposeof the Order, its relation to other.h'uman actitities, and the methodand principles inuolaed in achieuingits purpose. Roscoe, Pound hasconsidered the philosophies of fourem,inent Masonic authorities, Pres-ton, Krause, Olivier, and Pike, andhas classified them under two sepa-rate categories: Intellectual Systems.and Spiritual Systems.

The concepts of these four Ma-sonic writers regarding the emphasisand

- pu-rpose ,of the Crafr miy be

outlined as follows:I. fntellectual SystemsA. William preston (1242-t8lg)

1. Emphasis: Knowledge2. Purpose: To diffuse light;

1.€., to spread knowledgeamong men.

B. Karl Krause (tZ8t-t8BZ)I. Emphasis: Morals2. Purpose: The perfection

of humanity; to organizethe universal moral senti_ments of mankind.

II. Spiritual Sysrems

A. George Oliver (t782-1866)l. Emphasis: Tradition2. Purpose: With religion

and science, to bring meninto relation with the ab-solute.

B. Albert Pike (1809-1891)l. Emphasis: Symbolism2. Purpose: The attainment

of the fundamental prin-ciple of the Universe

- and

416

bringing man into theharmony of the ultimateunity which alone is real.

These were philosophical systemswhich originated in the eighteenthand nineteenth centuries and whoseprinciples were influenced and de-termined by conditions of the time.In keeping lrith our modern era,Pound gives these answers to prob-Iems of Masonic philosophy: thepurpose of Freemasonry is commonto that of the other social institu-tions - to preserve, develop, andtransmit to postelity the civilizatiorrdeveloped by our ancestors andpassed on to us. Its relation to otherhuman activities is as follows: whatother human organizations do alonglines of caste or creed or within po-litical feeling or local prejudice,Masonry seeks to achieve by univer-sality - by organizing the universalelements in man that make for cul-ture and civilization. To achieve itsends, Masonry makes for civilizationby its insistence on the solidarity ofhumanity, by its insistence on uni-versality, and by the preservationand transmission of the tradition ofhuman solidarity and of universali-ty.

Freemasonry today is organizedby means of Lodges, each havingits own officers, byJaws and regula-tions, nons of which may conflictwith the accepted standards of theCraft. In rural communities, theremay be one Lodge; in metropolitanareas, dozens may be represented.Masonic Lodge Methods is an ins-tructive text by L. B. Blakemore,which contains, incidentally, a com-prehensive section on Masonic lite-rature and an extensive bibliography.The duties and responsibilitieJ otLodge officers have been covered by

THE CABTE TOW

H. L. Haywood, along with. suchsubjgcts as Masonic jurisprudence,parliamentary law, Lodge finances,and fraternal etiquette, in his Ma-sonic Lod,ge Offi.cers.

In this country, each state has itsown Grand Lodge which has juris-diction over all Lodges and Masonrcactivity within its territorial limits.The authority of the Grand Lodgeis absolutg there being no GeneralGrand Lodge or national organiza-tion with administrative precedencg.A wealth of inform,ation coveringthe origin and history of each GrandLodge in the United Srates can befound in Ray V. Denslow's Freema-

sonry in the W,estet'n Hemisphere,which also contains many interest-ing photographs of Masonic build-ings throughout the Americas.

Membership in a Lodge of Free-masons is limited to adult maleswho can meet the recognized quali-fications and standard of characterancl reputation. No one is asked tojoin its ranks; when a man seeks ad-mission to a Lodge, it is of his ownfree will and accord. The choice :is

his. As anyone who truly compre-hends and appreciates the meaningof the Craft well knows, this is as itshould be.

M. W. PEDRO M. GIMENEZGrand Master, Grand Lodge of Free& Accepted Masons of the PhilippinesSpeech delivered at the Scottish Rite

Luncheon on May 25, 1963

brethren, I now hold in our univer-sal Fraternity. It is, therefore, asGrand Master. of Masons in this ju-risdiction that I should ike to say afew words to you.

Ours is a great and venerable insti-tution. Since the time - two and irIralf centuries ago - when certainlodge of Masonry, the three degreeswhich they instituted have becomethe basis of the Masonic Order. "Anvman who receives the first three deg-rees," and I am quoting from arrencyclopedia published in America."is as truly a Mason as he whoseambition carries him through themost exalred degree, the thirty-third.in the Scottish Rite."

But it is not my purpose here t<r

discourse on degrees - nor to talkon the fact that, the better to seekfurther light, our brethren chooseone or both of two ways: the n'ar o[the York, or American Rite anrlthat of the Scottish Rite. Rather. itis my purpose to rnake a plea - aninformed, inspired plea- not cnl\Ior the preservation and maintenanceof the relationship between the GrandLodge of the Philippines and theSupreme Council of the 33rd andLast Degree in this Valley, but alsofor the promotion, invigoration, andenhancement of such fraternal rela-tionship.

Relationship connotes mutualit\- an appreciation, for instance, ofeach other's purposes and pract.ices.It implies interrelatedness - a re-ciprocity, among other things, .'.s re-gards understanding, a parallelismin enthusiasm and efforts and exer-tions. In the matter of the rela-tionship between our Grand Lodgeand the Supreme Council, I am notso sure that it is encompassing andabiding enough. As a matter of fact.

The Grand Lodge Officers aredeeply honored by the invitation ofthe Supreme Council to be guests atthis luncheon. Personallv the invita-tion to be a guest is an honor, ac-corded - I know - not so much tomy humble person as to the positionwhich, by the concurrence o[ our

418 THE CABLE TOVi

hope I am wrong - that excePt Pos'sifiy along formal or ceremoniallines, the two great entities havebeen wont, as it were, to Pursuetheir own separate waYs, often al-most or virtually unconcerned withthe workings of the other. That, ofcourse, should not be the case - and,whereever that is true, I hereby pleadfor a remedying of the situation, letalone for an enlargement in ourarea of vision and in our rvorld ofaction.

This is not the occasiolr lor me

to detail instances which could at-

test to the authenticity of the observa-tion I have just made- It wouldsuffice for me, I suPPose, to touchon just one. asPect of the work ofthe two entities - that relative toeducation. The Grand Lodge has aCommittee .on Education - and so

has the Supreme Council. But it is

not certain - at least to me - thatthe two committees have been work-ing all along in comPlete concord,in-perfect unanimity' The resuit rs

tha^t, in the oPinion of some, there

has been a litile too much duPlica-tion, if not dispersal, in the time andtalent of our-brethren working inthat direction. And maY I PromPtll'say that any such duplication or dis'

rlersal is tantamount to wastage

- which, especiallY in view of thedemands upbn our Fraternity, l"'alone because of the urgencies of theclay, we should bY all means avoicl.

Other reasons equally vita-l

- should impel us, in our individ-ual or collective roles within ourFraternity, not only to preserve andmaintain but even more so to en-large and invigorate the relationshipbetween the Grand Lodge and theSupreme Qouncil of Masonry. Theimprovement of that relationshil: can

JUNE, I963

serve several ends. For example: itwill inevitably increase knowledgeand understanding of the Cralt onour part; it will enable us vicariouslyor actually to impart that knowledgeand understanding to others; it willfacilitate appreciation of Masonry onthe part of those who misunderstandit or who do not comprehend itsuniversal if not eternal PurPoses.

Brethren, it is an imperative of theMasonic creed to seek and strive forperfect human harmony - and, sure-Iy, an essential step and means tothat harmony will be a broadeningof understanding among ourselves as

well as an enlargement and a deepen-ing, as I have said, of the relation-ship existing between the entitiesthat exercise €iovernance over ouractuations as l\'Iasons. Let's continueto labor, without let and hindra::ce,toward that goal of human harmony

- that aspiratioh for human brother-hood.

And while we do so, let us llotlose sight of the fact that humanbrotherhood is not just a goal. Inthe words of President John F' Ken'nedy of the United States, and Iquote, "human brotherhood is a con-dition on which our way of life de-

pends. The question for our timeis not whether all men are brothers.That question has been answered bY

the God who placed us on this earthtogether. The question is whetherrve have the strength and the will tomake the brotherhood of man the

guiding principle of our daily lives.Can we match our actions to ourwords?"

In behalf of the Grand Lodge Ot-ficers, we again thank You for thisdistinct honor.

WHY THE PRICKS ININTERNATIONAT RETATIONS

By Bro. lgnacio Nabong, Cabanbtuan Lodge No. 53

As the world glopes its lvay'onward to an integrated rnankincl, bar-riers of race, creed and selfish narionalism keep pe6ple divided and atlvar with each other although all races and creeds-agree that

"Little deeds of kindness, little words of loveHelp to make the earth happy like the Heaven above."

It matters not who made those lines; what matters is that in internation-al. relations goodwill is of prime importance, and goodwill is synonimouswith good faith. Friendly relations ire possible only where goodwil moti-vates the heart.

Wherever man's sensitivity is pricked, feelings will be alienated.To reduce chaos into unity and order is the responsibility of statesmen.

ald the globe will be better off if they stop insulting each other. Yetthe talks on world affairs are srneared witti insolent and recrimindtoryremarks of those who are supposed to seam men's division. Even somepaper$ betray their propaganda slants. Goodwill cannot thrive under thisatmosphere.

I'or world solidarity we have to repress factors inimical to our har-mony. Provocative remarks are subversive of friendly relations.

A better civilization will be ours if world talks are carried on highlevels. In Moscow or Peking as well as in London or New York, theseeds of hate are sown in such a way that will make our world objectivemiscarry. Provocative utterances, direct or by innuendo, are indulged inbv_ those who stand responsible for world understandnig. concilator! talkswill accord more to our happiness.

Nationalism - selfish nationalism - does not fit the world todav; itis antiquated a-nd smacks of bigotry and tribalism. lve are in an agb ofan "enlightened nationalism" that our actions must not be made to"marinternational relations. No nation now, however strong, can live in isola-tion; its survival is bound up with the cooperation o-f all states; its lifehinges o.n tfre peace of the cummunity of nltions. For world peace fair-play and tolerance must be observed.

- Th-eoretically no srate is independent; actually all states are uuderand subject ro internarional law; interdependence

'is a reality. There isworldwide concept in trade and commerci, in travel and communicarion,in science ancl technology, and in law and politics. we are emergingfrom old and narrow customs into a broader^ outlook, and to this iericncept we must readjust our actions. After all, for all mankind thereis only one race, the human race.

Peace on earth and goodwill to man can be a bressing when all rvillcherish symp4thy to all and malice toward none. when t[ese tenets rulethe heart, the individual will find life's value.

The world does not ha'e to wait for an emancipator. we are allthe emancipators it needs.

FREEMASONRY vs COMMUNISM

This nation, carved from the virgin resources of a new continent, wasfounded as a God-respecting land of opportunity. Many of the FoundingFathers were Freemasons They hoped through beneficial influencesof love, tolerance, and mutual respect to weld the American people into anunshakeable unity.

Freemasonry has for centuries meant constructive building in the heartsof men, in the life of institutions, and in the souls of nations.

The virtue of tolerance and the ability to respect different opinions,beliefs, and ideas has enriched the life of America. Tolerance is the eternalvirtue through which good conquers evil and truth vanquishes untruth.

The times demand candid and forthright words. Communist have beenand are today at work within the very gates of America. Their allegianceis to Moscow; their hopes are spurred by the writings of Marx and Lenin,not Jefferson and [incoln. Their enthusiasm is whetted by expediency anddeceil not iolerance and brotherhood. Atheistic materialism is their idol;fhe destruction of the God of their fathers their goal.

WHAT WE SI.IOUID TETL OUR NON.MASONICFRIENDS ABOUT FREEMASONRY

What should we tell our non-Masonic friends when ihey ask questionsabout Freemasonry?

When these questions arise, and they often do, our response will un-doubtedly influence the mental attitude of our friends toward ourselves andthe Craft in general.

We should not take a timid approach to our answers. We should notindicate a desire to "change the subiect"' We should not reflect a "mum's-the-word" attitude.

lnstead we should be prepared to speak with ease, pride, and authoriiy.What do we have ro hide?

Make it known that Freemasonry is a way of life.Freemasonry is fraternal in organization, religious in character, based

on the belief in the Fatherhood of God, Brotherhood of Man, and the lm-mortality of the Soul.

Be prompt to make it known that Freemasonry is not a "secret society"as many surmise. Freemasonry is a voluntary association wherein the in-teresled one comes of his own free will and accord..

lndicate also that Freemasory is not a religion as many claim it is.Discussions on religion or pol[tics have no place in our proceedings.Proclaim that Freemasonry, in its every effort and purpose, strives to

do charitable work wiihin its membership and for society, and through itsteachings, seeks to make good men better men. You can proudly statethat the basic ethical principles as exemplified in our Ritual and Lodge Work,are such as are most acceptable to all good men; they are lessons based onthe golden rule, tolerance toward all men, respecf for one's family, charitytoward all, and being true to God for His gracious and numerous blessings.

SCIENCE, VIRTUE AND LABORBy Dr. Jose Rizal

It is a pleasure to present to our readers a translation by R. W. Bro.Nlacario C. Naaia of Bro. Jose Rizals speech entitled "Science, Virtue andLabor" which was d.eli,uered in Madrid, Spain, in the year 1883 before themembers of La Soliilariilad Lod.ge No. 53. It is one of the least known worksof the author and tn our opinion should take a place among Masonry's best

literature.

When as profanes we knock at theportals of the Temple to be initiat-id iirrto the my*eries of lvlasonrywih hearts palpitating and all o-ur

being filled- with emotion in theo.erdnce of the unknown, r,t'e hearihree soothing words constantly re-peated in our ears: Science, Virtueand Labor.

These magic words lvhose flatter-ing promise at one time caused PY-

thigoras and Herodotus to travel incrude barks across the temPestuousseas in search of solution in the sha'dows of priestly Thebes; this -power-ful Trinity which, descending toearth, would convert it into a Para-dise and worthy dwelling for God-desses and Gods; these three words,Science, Virtue and Labor, the aPo'theosis of intelligence, of sentiments,and action, will be the subject oIthis lecture within the scope ancl

concept of modern masonry.Science! What science, you mav

ask, could be in a Masonic TemPle?Science might have taken refuge init during the barbarous eras to erectthe sublime monuments of architec-ture of past centuries as when FineArts took refuge in the calm andpeaceful cloisters of monasteries.But today sciencs is free; it is o[-

JUNE, 1963

fered to all, and yet certainly it isnot to be looked for in the weeklYmeetings of Lodges but in universi-ties, in scientific centers and in thecouncils of wise men.

Agreed, clear brethren. Science isas free as the light that inspires it.Masonry has been its nursemaid; ithas guarded it like a sacred flamewhile the storm raged, and when thecallm returned she delivered it tothe world to enlighten it with itsrays. '\A/hat would have become ofscience without the mysteries withwhich the Egyptian priests and an-cient wise men surrounded it? Likea seed with its perispern hardlYbroken and exposed to the furY ofthe elements, it would have perish-ed in the hands of ignorance andneglect. Masonry, subjecting theneophytes of science to hard tests -for

- the mysteries of Isis, Eleusis,The Great Mother, etc. were Mason-ic. I assured them in this mannerthat the soil where the seeds were tobe planted would make ther.n germi-nate, and that he who would re-receive the light would defend itIrop all assaults.

Later a certain religion, pretend-irg to be the only possessor ofTruth, desired to control and tyran-

423

_--/

nize the science which affirmed dif-ferent truths and promulgated otherdoctrines. That religion was pow-erful and science suffered a longcaptivity. Who liberated it? Ma-sonry, by proclaiming the liberty cifhuman reason and working for itsrecognition.

Yes, Science is now free, but itsspirit lives in the Temple as whenit encouraged amidst the ruins ofRome the spirit of its heroic meneven after the proclamation of itswise laws. In this concept we invokethe name of Science, and Masonryrvill again fight for it whenever itis in peril, as it fights norv in orclerthat the Philippines may open to itits closed horizons.

With regard to the word Labor,do not smile when you think of whatlve do in our weekly meetings whichlasts three hours or even more. Cer-tain it is that in the profane worldthe machines roar and stir theirarms of steel asitating the air withtheir powerful fly wheels and doubleeccentrics. Certain it is that in hugefactories labor in busy hives the boy,the young man, the damsel, thehousewife, the aged, the man, in theproduction of a thousand necessarythings of life. Certain it is that la-bor now makes the world vibrate inall of its molecules and pores fromthe bowels of the earth where theminers extract coal a thousand timesmore useful than precious diamonds,to the top of snow-capped mountainswhich the locomotive climbs breath-ing fire and dragging with it humanthought. Certain, and very certainit is that our work is nothing com-pared to that of the diver who des-cends to the depths of the seas, or ofthe explorer interned in mysterious,continents., or of the engineer who,not content with the free lanes of the

424

oceans, cuts continents, opens canalsand ploughs through the air in searchof new routes. All these are true,but we should not forget that if rveare now able to contemplate thesewonders, it has been due to Masonicliberty and to the proper disrribu-tion of workers instituted since ear-ly ages by Egyptian Masons. \Vherrwe see a young man robust and activebeside his mother who is decrepit andweak, we think of her having carriedhim in her lap, taken care of him asa tender child and given him the sal>of her breast.

Masonic lodges in ancient timesrvere real rvorkshops where plans ofthe works which even today the worl<ladmires, like the temples of Bulak.the cathedral of StrasJbourg, that o[Cologne, etc. Within the Masoniclodges of Saint Wehma human liber-ty took refuge to work against theIeudal castles of feudal Germanr;and. it was in Masonic lodges aliothat the spirit of man worked nightand day to demolish the sinister B1s-tille, overwhelm a throne, equalizeall men, and complement the greatwork of the Nazarene. What? Wouldthe workman who dislodged the stonefrom the quarry to erect the walls ofa Palace, dwelling place of pride anclpleasure, or the walls of a dungeon.a cavern of despair and Iamentations

- would this mason of ancient timeshave worked more than the modernMason whose intelligence is sharpened and strengthened to destroy alldegrading inequalities and to liftman up, his resplendent home r€-deemed, drenched though it may bewith the blood of tyrantr?

No, dear Brethren, the modernMason works and should still work.It is well that the Masons of freecountries busy themselnes in promot-ing commerce and charitable works.

THE CABLE TOW

Florteyer, they should not rest whilethe world supports one tyrant, while-the night e&bes the complaints ofthe oppressed; while there are slaves,while there are oppressorst And thiswork may be the greatest that Mason'ry has ever undertaken and the onIYone rrorthy of its universal name.

Let us now pass to the study oIVirtue which I have purposely re-served for the last, for I consider itthe most important theme in Ma-sonry.

"Virtue, virtue, Thou art nothingbut a name!" Cato said more thannineteen centuries ago. And perhapsmany among you now rePeat thephrase upon hearing the strangen'ord. Schiller exclaimed, "When doI cease to hear about you, O Vitrue?On the dav you are praised less, 1'ourr.ill be with mankind."

\\'hat virtue do we practice rvithinthese halls? Perhaps your consciencesin the depth of your hearts, in viewof passions which even rvithin ourtemples we do not keep in check, willsmile sadly as if disillusioned at thesound of this name. Perhaps you areright, but before going further, let ussee what we understand by virtue be-cause it involves and idea which isin the lips of everyone but on whichall peoples do not agree.

The Chinese sees virtue in the res-pect for his elders, in the worship ofhis ancestors and in the practice o[his countless rites and ceremonies;the Hindu in keeping the body mo-tionless and in ecstasJ, regarding asa saint one who can maintain with-out moving an assumed position formonths and months. The Persianfound it in the purity of lifg forwhich reason purification by fire isits symbol. The virtue of the Jew corr-sisted in fear of his Jehovah, comply-

JUNE, I963

ing with the material precepts of hisDeuteronomy and awaiting the com-ing of the Messiah to take posses'sion o[ the whole world. The virtueo[ the Greek consisted in stoicism, inknowing how to suffer all ills withperfect tranquility of spirit, and so

the Spar.tan offered before it his dear-est sentiments, his most natural im-pulses, believing it to be fierce andheartless; while the Buddhist prac-tises it in the sweetness of mannerand in love for fellowmen. On theother hand, Rome searched for virtuein integrity, in manly sentiments,and that is why they called "virtus"what we rvould call virility. For herhe who maintained his manliness, her,,'ho knerv how to sacrifice in timesof gteatest perils, he rvho kncv howto clie for laws, for the name andglory of Rome, was virtuous. Christ-ianity came, it upset many beliefs,and in one principle, of what didChristian virtues consist? Christianreligion, the heiress, the sum totaland essence of all religions, reflectedin her virtues all their merits andsanctified humility, stoicism, and pur-ity adding to these, like a true Ori-ental, charity, a virtue which Moham-medanism later elevated to sublimeheights.

Later on, the doctrines were adul'terated, faith was wanting, religiousspirit degenerated into sectarian spirit and those who preached equalityand poverty aspired to become mas'ters and wealthy. It was then thatvirtue was confused with intoleranceand fanaticism and when most inof'fensive, adopted unnatural forms.Forcecl celibacy became a virtue al-though God ordered us to grow andmultiply. Horror for the beautifulbecame a virtue; hate for love, whenall nature is beautiful, when from

425

the moon to the flower all creationpreaches love. Fasting and abstinencebecame a virtue when man needs todisplay and redouble his strength toemploy it in the service of his fellow-men. Self torture and self abasementbecame virtues when pain is the pro-test of nature and when the reptiledwelis in the mire and God is in theheavens. And lastly, ignorance itselfbecame a virtue rvhen wisdom is a

divine attribute, when intelligence isa gift and when man redeems him-self only through profound scholar-ship.

Those were barbaric centuries,dear Brethren, when emanationsfrom the cloisters perverted in thismanner human intelligence. But thedebasement went further, and the fallof reason was even greater and deep'er. To hate men who did not professthe same.faith; to destroy them andburn them; to recite rvords uPonwords; nonsense upon nonsense anclmay be blasphemies upon blasphe-mies before images of men saintedand deified, were then called virtues.Belief in the impossible, and the re-jection of conclusions of science andof experience were called virtue.Virtue the faith in the absurd, giftsto the Pope to maintain his pomp,to refuse money to the youth to im-prove his intelligence; virtue themadness, the senseless, the ridiculousand even the vices themselves so longas they were given certain cloak ofreligion.

Brought down to ths depth andfrightened by its fall, human criter-ion turns its look to the past andsighs for the virtue of the heroicages.

What are you, O virtue? Are youa vain name, are you the will powerthat resists all natural sentiments?

426

Are you perchance a word inventedby a perverted egotist, so that the in-nocent, hallucinated by the bright-ness of your glory, is aroused to gen-erous sentiments only to be exploit-ed? Have the powers invented you toaccustom the oppressed in loweringtheir necks, or do the unhappy prayto you to rebuke the conduct of theoppressors? Are you a protesta-tion or a deceit? Are you the patriot-ism that groups people into largefamilies, or are you the individualismthat places man in conflict with othermen?

If we are to admit the commonprinciple that takes for virtue thesentiment which, when put into prac-tice, redounds to the good of othersand to the harm of the one who prac-tices it, in Spain it would be a virtueto be unemployed, not to be a debtorbut to be a patient and long suffer-ing creditor; in China as in the restof the world, it would be to let your-self to be cheated at all, in Franceto give but never to receive "pour-boires" etc.

In the face of so many contradic'tions in human appreciation, con'science needs a standard.

Virtue is to be understood as theconstant compliance with duty justas vice is thC constant violation ofthe same, and in this sense the word"virtue" fits fully into the MasonicIodge and it may be said that it rs

the goal and the very life of lUasonn.Bv virtue we understand it to be

the 'constant fulfillment of duty. Inthis detinition we should clarify theword "duty". What is the duty ofmen in this modern age? The Prin'ciple of doing good is very vague.Not to do to others tlrat which youwould not want them to do unto youis defective because how many things

THE CABTE TOW

are there rvhich we would do toothers but which we do not wantthem to do unto usl Alms-giving,for example, is one. The principieo[ ]ove thy neighbor as thyself is verybeautrf ul but impracticable. It isdivine but not human. There is noman who can feel this affection atsight of any fellow creature.

Tlie duty o[ modern man, to myu'ay of thinking, is to work for theredemption of humanity because onceman is dignified there would be lessunfortunate and more happy peopleinsofar as our condition permits.Humanity will not be redeemedrvhile there are exploited peoplc,rvhile there are oppressed races, whilethe ferv live on the tears of many,while there are emasculated mindsand blinded eyes so that others maylive like sultans and alone enjoycomtemplating the beautiful. Fluman-ity will not be redeemed while rea-son is not free, while faith seeks toimpose itself upon facts, while whimsare laws and while there are nationsthat subjugate others. For humanityto be able to attain the lofty destinyto which God guides it, it is neces-sary that in its midst there be nodissensions nor tyranny, that plaguesdo not decimate it, and that in itsstep no groans and curses resound,It is necessary that its triurnphalmarch be to the cadence of hymns ofglory and liberty, its face bright andits forehead serene.

Thus Masonry preaches and prac-tices the sacred principles of libertyEquality, and Fraternity amongst allmen, and in them consist the l\Iason-ic virtues, the only virtues whose ob-servance will banish wars and abusesamdng men and will bring about thecra dreamed of by all great reform-ers. In this concept virtue ceases tobe a barren quality, rare, unnatural,

$ RIZAL SA TANGIT

Ang mamatay sa pag-ibig sa irog na lnang Bayan,Matitiyak na sa tangit doon mulihg mabubuhay;Kung si Rizal ay sinawi ng sungit ng kadiliman,Pagka't siya'y may liwanag na di halos matitigan -Dangan kasi'y may luningning na sing init niyang Araw.

Sa look ng Bagumbayan umangil ang mga punglo,Buhay ni Gat Jose Rizal buong lupit na pinugio;Dapwa't hindi rin lumagi't ang kasam,'ay nakalagoSa isipan ng Bayani't diwa niyang naging Sulo -Sa muog ng kalupitan ay pumugnaw at nag"guho.

At siya nga ay pinatay ng dahil sa SimulaingUmibig sa Lahi't Bayang dantaon nang inalipin -Dugo niya'y napabubo't Buhay niya'y inihainNang matubos at lumaya - nang maligtas sa hilahil,lnang Baya'y lumigaya't Mutyang Perlas na tawagin.

Sa noo ng Bayang irog at dibdib ng sintang Lahi,Napakinial ang habiling na sa kanyang Huling Bati: -Siya'y doon patutungo sa rurok ng Luwalhati -Walang buktot, mapanikil, mapam.uksa'i mapagtangi;Doo'y wala ring busabos ni gahamang lintang hari.

Sa pagyao ni Gat Rizal - bilang kanyang Pahimakas:Anya'y huwag mangalungkot - bagkus lalong mangagalak;Ang dalitang pinasan ko at ligalig na linesap,Sa Langit ng mga Banal, p€wang lugod ang panumbas;Ang Bathala ng Pag-ibig, doo'y siyang Puong Likas.
