possible. The Government was to be a State affair,
with which the Church had, officially, nothing to do whatsoever.
Rome declares in America today, that Church and
State shall be united as one; and that one shall be the
Church. I hereby challenge every Freemason in America
today to Take Notice of this Sign and Summons.
To the profound Philosophy of Life, and the stores of
Ancient Wisdom to which it was the original design of
this little book to call attention, there is now added an
imminent duty of Citizenship, for which the Freemason
ought to be better prepared and more strongly obligated
than any other, for the simple reason that these duties
and obligations are taught, ingrained, and illustrated
in the School of Masonry, specifically and concisely as
no where else in the world today.
This is why Rome hates, vilifies and anathematizes
Masonry continually, relentlessly and eternally. There
can be no compromise. Shall it be Church, or State,
to rule in this "Free Country"? It cannot possibly be
both. Rome today is the most powerful and ambitious
Political Autocracy on earth, and she already holds
the Balance of Power in America!
I have said nothing here of the Religious department
of the Roman Hierarchy. That is "another story".
The Mason who is untrue to the basic principles of
Masonry, can be nothing less than a Traitor to his Country.
There can be no middle ground, no compromise.
