Duncan’s Masonic Ritual and Monitor: Popular Books by Malcolm C. Duncan : All times Bestseller Demanding BooksBeyond Books Hub, 2021 M01 1 - 226 páginas ♥♥Duncan’s Masonic Ritual and Monitor by Malcolm C. Duncan♥♥ The objects which Freemasonry was founded to subserve are honorable and laudable; nor is it intended in the following pages to disparage the institution or to undervalue its usefulness. It has, at various times and in several countries, incurred the ill-will of political parties and of religious bodies, in consequence of a belief, on their part, that the organization was not so purely benevolent and philanthropic as its members proclaimed it to be. In the State of New York, many years ago, it was supposed, but we think unjustly, to wield a powerful political influence, and to employ it unscrupulously for sinister ends. ♥♥Duncan’s Masonic Ritual and Monitor by Malcolm C. Duncan♥♥ The war between Masonry and Anti-Masonry which convulsed the State at that period is still fresh in the remembrance of many a party veteran. The Order, however, has long since recovered from the obloquy then heaped upon it, and is now in a flourishing condition in most parts of the civilized world. ♥♥Duncan’s Masonic Ritual and Monitor by Malcolm C. Duncan♥♥ The purpose of this work is not so much to gratify the curiosity of the uninitiated as to furnish a guide for the neophytes of the Order, by means of which their progress from grade to grade may be facilitated. Every statement in the book is authentic, as every proficient Mason will admit to himself, if not to be public, as he turns over its pages. ♥♥Duncan’s Masonic Ritual and Monitor by Malcolm C. Duncan♥♥ The non-Masonic reader, as he peruses them, will perhaps be puzzled to imagine why matters of so little real importance to society at large should have been so industriously concealed for centuries, and still more surprised that society should have been so extremely inquisitive about them. "But such," as Old Stapleton says, in 'Jacob Faithful,' "is human nature." ♥♥Duncan’s Masonic Ritual and Monitor by Malcolm C. Duncan♥♥ The object of the Order in making a profound mystery of its proceedings is obvious enough. Sea-birds are not more in-variably attracted toward a lighted beacon on a dark night, than men to whatever savors of mystery. Curiosity has had a much greater influence in swelling the ranks of Masonry than philanthropy and brotherly love. The institution, however, is now sufficiently popular to stand upon its own merits, without the aid of clap-trap, so "via the mantle that shadowed Borgia." ♥♥Duncan’s Masonic Ritual and Monitor by Malcolm C. Duncan♥♥ |
