Frederick The Great As A Mason

FREDERICK the GREAT as a MASON

Frederick II ., while still a prince , was initiated in Masonry , but never dared , during his father ' s lifetime , to acknowledge the fact . When he ascended the throne , in 1 749 , he founded a lodge at Berlin , to which he . rave the name of " The Three Globes , "

which is now the national mother lodge of Prussia . During the first year of his reign he founded a lodge , of which he held the gavel as Master . This lodge was composed of his most intimate friendsmen of tried loyalty and morality . In the restricted circle of the lodge—composed of but twenty-four

members—was a man who betrayed at once his King , his country , and the Craft , and toward whom Frederick , moved by superhuman generosity , acted as a king and a Mason . General Walrave , a favourite of'the king , and a member of the lodge over which he presided , allowed himself to be

Seduced by the love of money , and opened a correspondence with Vienna to sell Austria the plans of the fortress of Neise , with indications of the mines and their connection with the works . The General was watched , and the first letter he attempted to send was intercepted and taken to Frederick , who

broke the seal , and had before him the occular proof of Walcravc ' s crime . After a long reflection , Frederick arrived at a conclusion , which proves him to have been a true Mason . He called a meeting of the lodge , and delivered an address , in which he spoke with moving eloquence of the duties of every

Mason toward the Craft , his country , and rising from his scat , concluded with these words : "One of the brethren here present , violating at once the laws ofthe Fraternity , his duty to the State , and his obligation , forgetting all sentiments of fidelity towards his Master and his king , has been guilty of

a capital crime . As a king 1 desire to ignore it , as a Master I pardon him , as a brother 1 extend my hand to raise him from his fallen condition , as a man I would forget the past . I only require that he here acknowledge his crime and promise amendment , and all shall remain among ourselves , and will

never be mentioned again . But if he is silent , and will not accept the pardon offered , I give notice that I shall be obliged to quit Ihis lodge for ever , and that as king and chief magistrate ofthe country , I shall be obliged to place him in the hands of justice . " Silence and consternation fell upon the assembly .

and there was no explanation of the king ' s terrible words . Walrave himself did not suspect that his treason had been discovered , and that the words were intended for him . After a brief interval , Frederick repeated v \ hat he had said . Silence followed , A third time he pronounced them , but there was no

response . With tears in his eyes , the king continued : " As a Mason 1 have discharged my dut )\ Unhappily , 1 am forced to the conviction that no Masonic sentiment pervades this small assembly of initiates ; that obligation , fidelity , duty , gratitude , arc impotent to blind men and restrain their

pass ' ons . I shall for the last time proceed to close , and never again will 1 preside . " With due solemnity the closing rites were performed , and then , with uncovered head , the monarch deposited his gavel , hi the ante-room he ordered Gen . Walrave to surrender his sword , and placed him under arrest . He

was subsequently condemned to perpetual imprisonment , in a prison which had previously been constructed under his own supervision . Originally destined for a prison of state , it had been so constructed ' as to ' render escape or suicide impossible . The prisoner , could not even wound himself by

striking his head against the walls , which were padded and covered with black . Walrave passed seven years in this narrow prison , with no light but a faint ray coming from the top of the prison , without books ' , pens , paper or ink , given up to himself and his remorse . No one was allowed to spenk to

him , not even theofheers who took lumhisfood , which lie was obliged to eat without a fork , knife , or spoon . At the end of the seven years he was transferred to another and less terrible prison , where he had a small garden , could breathe the air , and move about .

Here he remained until his death in 1776 , twenty years . Once only Walrave sought pardon by sending the king tlie 89 th l ' salm , to which the king responded by sending in return the ioist . The circumstances here related prevented Frederick from ever again'being present at a Lodge , but he never ceased to be a friend of the Craft , —Landmark *

broke the seal , and had before him the occular proof of Walcravc ' s crime . After a long reflection , Frederick arrived at a conclusion , which proves him to have been a true Mason . He called a meeting of the lodge , and delivered an address , in which he spoke with moving eloquence of the duties of every

Mason toward the Craft , his country , and rising from his scat , concluded with these words : "One of the brethren here present , violating at once the laws ofthe Fraternity , his duty to the State , and his obligation , forgetting all sentiments of fidelity towards his Master and his king , has been guilty of

a capital crime . As a king 1 desire to ignore it , as a Master I pardon him , as a brother 1 extend my hand to raise him from his fallen condition , as a man I would forget the past . I only require that he here acknowledge his crime and promise amendment , and all shall remain among ourselves , and will

never be mentioned again . But if he is silent , and will not accept the pardon offered , I give notice that I shall be obliged to quit Ihis lodge for ever , and that as king and chief magistrate ofthe country , I shall be obliged to place him in the hands of justice . " Silence and consternation fell upon the assembly .

and there was no explanation of the king ' s terrible words . Walrave himself did not suspect that his treason had been discovered , and that the words were intended for him . After a brief interval , Frederick repeated v \ hat he had said . Silence followed , A third time he pronounced them , but there was no

response . With tears in his eyes , the king continued : " As a Mason 1 have discharged my dut )\ Unhappily , 1 am forced to the conviction that no Masonic sentiment pervades this small assembly of initiates ; that obligation , fidelity , duty , gratitude , arc impotent to blind men and restrain their

pass ' ons . I shall for the last time proceed to close , and never again will 1 preside . " With due solemnity the closing rites were performed , and then , with uncovered head , the monarch deposited his gavel , hi the ante-room he ordered Gen . Walrave to surrender his sword , and placed him under arrest . He

was subsequently condemned to perpetual imprisonment , in a prison which had previously been constructed under his own supervision . Originally destined for a prison of state , it had been so constructed ' as to ' render escape or suicide impossible . The prisoner , could not even wound himself by

striking his head against the walls , which were padded and covered with black . Walrave passed seven years in this narrow prison , with no light but a faint ray coming from the top of the prison , without books ' , pens , paper or ink , given up to himself and his remorse . No one was allowed to spenk to

him , not even theofheers who took lumhisfood , which lie was obliged to eat without a fork , knife , or spoon . At the end of the seven years he was transferred to another and less terrible prison , where he had a small garden , could breathe the air , and move about .

Here he remained until his death in 1776 , twenty years . Once only Walrave sought pardon by sending the king tlie 89 th l ' salm , to which the king responded by sending in return the ioist . The circumstances here related prevented Frederick from ever again'being present at a Lodge , but he never ceased to be a friend of the Craft , —Landmark *
