Like The Old Soldier Of The Ballad,

I Know War As Few Other Men Now Living Know It, And Nothing To Me Is More Revolting. I Have Long Advocated Its Complete Abolition, As Its Very Destructiveness On Both Friend And Foe Has Rendered It Useless As A Means Of Settling International Disputes... But Once War Is Forced Upon Us, There Is No Other Alternative Than To Apply Every Available Means To Bring It To A Swift End.

Freemasonry Embraces The Highest Moral Laws And Will Bear The Test Of Any System Of Ethics Or Philosophy Ever Promulgated For The Uplift Of Man.

I Promise To Keep On Living As Though I Expected To Live Forever. Nobody Grows Old By Merely Living A Number Of Years. People Grow Old Only Be Deserting Their Ideals. Years May Wrinkle The Skin, But To Give Up Interest Wrinkles The Soul.

The Nations Of The World Will Have To Unite For The Next War Will Be An Interplanetary War. The Nations Of Earth Must Some Day Make A Common Front Against Attack By People From Other Planets.

Believe Me, Sir, Never A Night Goes By, Be I Ever So Tired, But I Read The Word Of God Before I Go To Bed.
