Veiled Prophet of Kohrassan

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Masonry deals with manhood, square and upright. Its lessons are solemn and beautiful, dignified and earnest. Upon the practical tenets of Free Masonry, speculative minds have built extended systems, having abstruse and complicated, yet wonderfully interesting and valuable teach ings. Others, while fully realizing that Life is Real, Life is Earnest, have felt that the real would be no less real, the earnestness no less strong, if there came the warmth of humor, the gleam of wit and the glow of sympathy to dis pel the coldness and reserve which too often envelop men and bring them together in closer companionship. We need sunshine in life as well as in the air.
