National Prejudices, No. II.

National Prejudices, No. II. [No. 74]

The Fatherhood of the Great Architect
And Universal Brotherhood of Man,
Are two great factors in the glorious plan
Of pure Freemasonry. Those who object
To teach and Practise these, should have no place 5
In a Freemasons’ Lodge. All Prejudice
Of Clime of Colour, is a foolish Vice
In true Freemasons’ eyes: the Human Race,
With them, being held a One Great Family.
The good of every Creed and Clime are One, 10
However they may differ. We must Learn
To Prize all Worth, wherever it may be;
And, whilst we cherish our own Country’s Good,
Hold God had made All Nations of One Blood.
