AFRAID OF THE LIGHT
"We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark.
The real tragedy
of life is when men are afraid of the Light.
The entire structure of our American Government is build upon the ideal of
Light and More Light. It is part and parcel of the philosophy of Masonry,
that force which welded thirteen colonies into a United States of America.
There are perhaps only two forms of government. One which conceals in
darkness and one which reveals in light. Do you ever hear of the wrongs of
a dictatorship from the mouth of a dictator? No. By the very nature of
government by force, the dictator is blinded by the same darkness that he
uses to cover the minds of the people. On the other hand, do you not hear
daily criticisms of a democracy? A dictatorship must be that which
foolishly claims infallibility. The sole function of the dictator is to
keep this false propaganda before the people, and to liquidate those who
would attempt to pierce the darkness and cry out for Light. A democracy is
in the making. It is renewed daily by the intellect and moral worth of the
individual.
Forever the dictator yells "Capitalism," while he gathers the fruits
of the
labor of the people who are satisfied with slavery crumbs. The dictator
talks about the plight of the American workman while he forces his people
to work for an impersonal state. Thus, for the price of a miserly security,
they labor without hope or vision, not able to claim the dignity of workmen
but forever remain cowardly snivelers.
America must forever go forward to untold triumphs of the heart and mind.
Masonic philosophy which inspires men to walk as men not afraid of the
Light, must ever be the guiding hand of America. A rat may find security in
darkness. Man must seek Freedom in Light.
