The Brotherhood Of Man,
THE BROTHERHOOD OF MAN ,
TN » la ' number we pointed out that the whole fabric of Froe-I masonry had for its foundation-stone a belief in the Fatherhood f God . On this g lorious basis do the Sons of Light daily erect , to {" honour and glory of the Creator , their moral and spiritual e ( jj ( - ce « that house not made with hands , eternal in the heavens . " Ifc is » "loriou s faith , a noble heritage , that they have left unto us ,
and in which we as Hiramites continually rejoice . But in addition to this weat and glorious truth , Freemasonry also teaches the Godinspired doctrine of " the Brotherhood of Man , " a doctrine next in importance to the former , and one which , when used from a proper standpoint , is the natnral sequella and culmination of the other . The two combined teach the essence of purity and virtue , and are the
crowning glory of truth . The Brotherhood of man ! What an immense vastuess there is in the thought . It sweeps away with a breath the bigotry of chnrchism , the sectarianism of creed , and the prejudice of colour , race and nationality . Ifc is the echo of the voice of God , to draw the mind of man far , far back into the dim and distant past ; it reveals to him an
era in which there must have been a race of only one nationality , of only one creed . It takes him back to the earliest period of the world ' s history , and opens to his vision the marvels and mysteries of the creation . The Mason who thoroughly grasps this idea of the Brotherhood of man , has mastered one of the poignant features of onr philosophy . To
think that there is a society whose members are of every clime aud country , who worship at the altar of the Christian and the shrine of the Moslem , who bow the knee to Vishna and believe in the dogma of the Chrisma , and yefc stand united in one common faith , bowing the head in reverence to one Great God , and faithful to each other as brethren sprung from one common parent . The Mason may know not the language of his Brother ; he may not possess talent , position
or fame j yet in the Lodge he is equal , perchance hia superior—at all events he is a Brother , and as a Brother he haa the right to appeal to him if in distress , difficulty or danger . No other organisation can lay claim to this tangible Brotherhood , because no other believes in the one common Fatherhood . This is the real secret of the difference between the Brotherhood of man , as taught and practised by Freemasonry , and that of the Brotherhood of all other so-called secret societies . It matters not where the
Mason goes , or to what branch of the Order or Rite he may belong , he can find a friend and a Brother , if he himself be versed in our uni . versal language . Thousands and tens of thousands of instances bear testimony of the real , true Brotherhood that exists amongst Craftsmen . On the battlefield , amidst the roar of cannon and rattle of musketry , the H . S . of D . has been recognised and answered . In
the plague-stricken hospital the Masonic tie has proved its worth . On the stormy deep , wheu death stared brave men iu the face , the Masonic cry for help has been responded to with readiness and eager haste . This is that Brotherhood of man which Masonry , and which Masons believe in , uphold and practise . It is a Brotherhood based on a holy Fatherhood .
Ifc is a strange sight to those who understand nofc our mysteries , to note how quickly men who are diametrically opposed to each other in politics and reli g ion coalesce when they find they belong to the aame noble Order . How can a Mason fail to feel and act as a Brother towards every Hiramite , when he remembers the solemn obligations he has voluntarily assumed , and the sacred pledges he has given to
his brethren before the Most High God ? It is impossible for a true Freemason to be a bad man . Of course , there are many Hiramites who never either care for or appreciate a single lesson taught in the lodge-room , and wbo consequently were never brethren . They were members of the mystic tie , but neither faithful Hiramites nor honest brethren . Only those who are bronght to the true light understand
this Brotherhood of man , which is our glorious inheritance from the forefathers and founders of the Craft . Ifc is a grand and noble heritage , which it is the dnty of every Freemason to keep and perform . It has been proved over and over again . We defy the world to deny it . We have stood by each other with death staring us in the face ; we have breathed the atmosphere of pestilence aud death iu
order to watch by ihe bedside of a Brother ; we have faced the li ghtning flash and the stormy billows of the deep , to rescue the famished , shipwrecked sailor ; we have protected the dying , fed the hungry , clothed the widow , and educated tbo orphan of a Brother j and we have guarded with a jealous , reverential care , and a Brother ' s deepest love , the virtue of those near and dear to a Brother Hiramite . This Brotherhood of man is dear to every Freemason . It is part
of that holy creed which points to God as the Father before whom we how , to whom as Masons we offer up our prayers and obligations , aud n pon whom we place our hope of a glorious immortality when called to join the Brotherhood of the blessed , beyond the dark and turbid waters of the Eiver of Death . This is the Brotherhood of man , based on belief in the Fatherhood of God , which we as Masons teach and practise . — Canadian Craftsman .
