our Brotherhood, which is now approaching a
higher type of evolution rapidly, and will continue
to progress in a purer form. A higher, nobler,
and more exalted conception will take the place
of Freemasonry that was here fifty years ago. If
this country is broken up, and degeneration ensues,
or is absorbed into another nation, as others have
been before it, our Brotherhood will not fall with
it. It will be as it was once before— the Universal
religion and Brotherhood of the world. Therefore
ever continue to seek after until you find the true
knowledge of the past, that will give you know-
ledge for the future, and enable you to exemplify,
by your every action, word, and thought, the most
exalted tenets of our Brotherhood, and by so doing,
and relying on the promises of the Most High,
the one Divine Creator of all things, we shall meet
again in that Grand Lodge above, where the reward
is Everlasting Life and Happiness.
