ao-es , the exquisitely incomparable tenets of this institution . Mankind have neither wisdom to foresee , nor power to prevent trie evils incident to human nature ; but hang in perpetual suspence betwixt hope and fear , sickness and health , p lenty and want . A mutual chain of dependence subsists throughout the whole creation : hence the utility of masonic benevolence : it unites men of the most opposite
religions , of the most distant countries , and of the most contradictory opinions in one indissoluble bond of unfeigned affection , and binds them by the strongest ties to secrecy , morality , and virtue . Masonry teaches us to be faithful to our King and true to our Country ; to avoid turbulent measures , and to submit , with reverence , to the decisions of legislative power . Thus in every nation a Mason may find a friend , and in every climate he may find a home ; no estrangement of behaviour is observed in their different assemblies ; they rank as children of the same parent , by creation as brethren bound
by the same times ; union is cemented by sincere attachment ; hypocrisy and deceit are unknown ; and p leasure is reciprocally communicated by the chearful observance of every obliging office . Such is the nature of our venerable institution . Thus , my brethren , you can easily perceive that charity , or universal benevolence , is the great p illar on which our institution is founded . Mankind in general have something so sociable in their
composition , that even an agreeable companion does not find the last place in our esteem ; how must a man then esteem him , to whom he confides his most secret wishes and bosom desires ; who is , as it were , the companion of his mind , and approves himself a friend , not by his professions , but by his actions ? Of what infinite use in life is a true friend 1 an open and sincere friend acts the part of a candid critic ; if we are guilty of any little foliy or indiscretion , he points out our faults with " tenderness , but yet with impartiality .
