The Masonic Annals Invaluable.
THE MASONIC ANNALS INVALUABLE .
THE annual publications of Grand Lodges , Grand Chapters , Grand Councils , Grand Commanderies , and other bodies , which form the great bulk of the Masonic literature of the present day , are invaluable , and may be of incalculable good if properly appreciated . Year by year the volumes increase in size , because of the growth of the Institution ; and the records
become more important as the legislation affects a larger membership . These publications are the histories of the Craft in all of its doings . They pourtray in the most striking manner the labours of love and acts of charity which make the Institution of Freemasonry so honoured , and so important a factor in the beneficent works of man . They present a mass of
information respecting the efforts of the Fraternity to elevate the race of mankind , to be found nowhere else . Their pages are beautiful with the profoundest thoughts of brilliant minds , sparkle with gems dug from the rich mines of Masonic truth , and are polished by some of the brightest intellects of the world . No one can read the reports on correspondence without being impressed with the grandness , the universality , and wonderful
influence of Freemasonry . The regret is that these productions , the result of careful study , deep thought , and patient research , are not more universally read . They present in a concise form of word painting the institution as it exists in the world to-day . Every tongue in the civilised world contributes its share , and every phase of thought , tending to elucidate the great moral teachings of the Craft , are found clearly and logically discussed and graphically presented .
Freemasonry should strengthen our faith , intensify our love , and teach us to exercise charity in word and deed to all our fellows . The lessons of the Lodge Boom , sacred from prying eyes or intrusive curiosity , taught by the most graphic symbols , and impressed by the most beautiful legends , should lead us to practice " out of the Lodge , those great moral precepts
which are inculcated in it , " and the day-dream of our hearts should be to so fashion our words , and so shape our actions , that wherever we are , or whatever we do , may be emblematic of the pillars of truth that support our beloved Fraternity . And we can learn much by a proper consideration
of the thoughts of those who give their time and attention to finding the sublime , aye , divine , beauties of the Fraternity . They are found to no greater extent than in the annual publications of the various Grand bodies . —WILLIAM J . DUNCAN ( Grand Librarian , New York ) , in " Voice of Masonry . " .
