“The true Mason is not creed-bound. He realizes with the divine
illumination of his lodge that as Mason his religion must be universal:
Christ, Buddha or Mohammed, the name means little, for he recognizes
only the light and not the bearer. He worships at every shrine, bows
before every altar, whether in temple, mosque or cathedral, realizing
with his truer understanding the oneness of all spiritual truth. All
true Masons know that they only are heathen who, having great ideals, do
not live up to them. They know that all religions are but one story
told in divers ways for peoples whose ideals differ but whose great
purpose is in harmony with Masonic ideals. North, east, south and west
stretch the diversities of human thought, and while the ideals of man
apparently differ, when all is said and the crystallization of form with
its false concepts is swept away, one basic truth remains: all existing
things are Temple Builders, laboring for a single end. No true Mason
can be narrow, for his Lodge is the divine expression of all broadness.
There is no place for little minds in a great work.”
