In “A
Brief Application of the York Rite to Daily Life” written by Past Grand
High Priest of the Grand Royal Arch Chapter of Texas in 1924 is this thought. “Masonry
is an ocean of fraternity, and every Mason should sail its broad expanse,
because its profound solemnity and matchless beauty can never be appreciated by
those who merely wade in the shallows at the shore. The tides have rolled
mighty waves upon its bosom, and the storms of centuries have lashed the
billows into foam upon its surface, but beneath there have remained,
undisturbed, and immutable, the principles of the Brotherhood of Man”. We
are bounded by the Brotherhood of Fraternity and knowledge is the key to
understanding one another.
