“Whether there were organized orders of builders in the early times no one can tell, through there may have been. No matter; man mixed thought and worship with his work, and as he cut his altar stones and fitted them together he thought out a faith by which to live.” MenMayHas BeensMatterTogetherOrderCuttingWorshipStonesOrganizedAltarsBuilder Book:The Builders - A Story & Study of Masonry Source: The Builders - A Story & Study of Masonry
“Masonry is too great an institution to have been made in a day, much less by a few men, but was a slow evolution through long time, unfolding its beauty as it grew. Indeed, it was like one of its own cathedrals which one generation of builders wrought and vanished, and another followed, until, amidst vicissitudes of time and change, of decline and revival, the order itself became a temple of Freedom and Fraternity.” MenLongHas BeensMadeOrderGenerationsGrewEvolutionLong TimeInstitutionsTemplesDeclineRevivalUnfoldingBuilderCathedralsFraternityMasonicMasonryVicissitudesTime And Change Book:The Builders - A Story & Study of Masonry Source: The Builders - A Story & Study of Masonry
