as a great nation, and others will take its place.
On the other hand, if we do not allow the Great
Serpent

the world has ever seen, in which the Brotherhood
will flourish exceedingly. It does not matter what
creed you profess outside the Lodge as long
as it
does not interfere with your great principles, tenets,
and belief in the one Great Architect of the
Universe, in the Lodge, and the practice of them in
your daily lives.
You will have learnt, from the foregoing pages,
that we are all one and the same, with this dif-
ference, that some of us are in various stages of
evolution as regards religious doctrines, just as we
are in the advancement of evolution as members
of the human race. That is the only difference,
although many of you will not understand this
except you study the above.
pray
Brothers throughout the world, I greet you and
that the one Great Architect of the Universe
will cement us all in one Great Universal Brother-
hood again. It rests with the British Brotherhood
now to see this carried out, and every indi-
vidual brother has a part and duty to perform.
Therefore, let this charge rest on each one of you,
because it is the will of the Great Architect of the
Universe that it should be done.
