Politics In Freemasonry.
POLITICS IN FREEMASONRY .
HOW foolish it is that some brethren cannot understand the fact that Politics are entirel y foreign to Freemasonry , and that the subject must never be discussed within the walls of the Lodge-room . No sooner , however , does an election loom up in the distance than some ignorant Masonic canvassers try to make nse of the fact that Brother John Smith is a Freemason , and his opponent , old Jones , holds views of rather an unflattering character to the Order ,
consequently all his Masonio friends , regardless of their proclivities , are hound to support Bro . John Smith , BROTHER , on each occasion he is mentioned , being spelt in large capitals . Never was there a greater fraud practised in the name of Freemasonry . The man that so debases our noble Institution , as to endeavour to make it a stepping stone for SELF , never could have 8 1
understood the nature of our society , or , if he did understand it , should be tried and suspended . " Mercenary , or other nnworthy motives "—surely every Hiramite can at least remember the period when he answered a certain expression of that character . If so , he knows in his heart he is falsifying his pledges , made voluntarily at that time , if he attempts to drag Freemasonry into all the tar . noil and strife attendant upon the political arena . ;
What wonld become of our Brotherly love , our Charities , our teachings of an immortal God , if we changed our whole Institution into a political convention ? Is it probable there would be much harmony or peace in a Lodge or Grand Lodge , if an edict were to be issued by the Grand Master that the eighteen thousand Masons under the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of Canada were to rote for the
Conservative party on next election , perchance another edict that for certain political purposes they must exercise their franchise in favour of the Reformers . Of course we are imagining an extreme case , it might be said an impossible case , but the attempt has been made to thus debase Masonry in continental Europe . Who does nofc remember the French Lodges traversing the ramparts of Paris during the
Franco-Prussian war , with banners and in full Masonic regalia ? and there equally absurd action in passing condemnatory resolutions regarding their Most Worshipfnl Brother , tbe Emperor William . We conld give other examples , where European Supreme Masonic organizations have forgotten their Masonry and rushed headlong into the arena of politics , thus totally ignoring the true principles of the Craft .
Masons , as Masons , should know each other as such alone . Our whole system depends upon being particular in this respect ; the thousands of incidents that have proved such grand examples of the true meaning of this , and have caused men to forget the heat and fury of passion on tbe battle field , would never have occurred if political passions were to be permitted amongst us . During the
fearful fratricidal strife that a few years ago waged " on the other aide , " how grandly Masons , during that heated and furious outburst of political agitation , proved that they were brothers , where necessity demanded it , —yes , even at the cannon ' s month and outside the pestilential prison doors of Libby and Anderson . It has ever been the proud boast of Anglo-Saxon Freemasonry
that she stands aloof from all entanglements of the kind . It is this that elevates her to the exalted height npon which she now stands . In our ranks are to be fonnd men of extreme political views , who are always to be found ready to aid a "brother" no matter what his political proclivities may be—it is only the puny-pulling thing called the " ward-politician , " who appeals to tbe worst passions of
an ignorant mob in preference to the intelligence of the man who has b y some mischance crept into some careless Lodge that attempts sometimes to debase Freemasonry by nsing it for his own little Political purposes . Such creatures , it is needless to say , are hardly worth y of the name of men , and certainly not of Freemasons . — Canadian Forester .
