In every race and every clime, Since the earliest days of time,
Men have taught the Mystic Quest, Shown the way to Peace and Rest.
Bacchus died and rose again, On the golden Asian plain,
Osiris rose from out of grave, And thereby mankind did save,
Adonis likewise shed his blood, By the Syrian flood,
Zoroaster brought to birth, Mithra from his cave on Earth.
And today in Christian lands, We with them can join hands.
J.S.M. Ward.

Workmen Unashamed. The Testimony of a Christian by Christopher Haffner
Price £19.99
Written from the heart, in a clear and well constructed manner, this book clearly demonstrates the compatibility of Freemasonry and Christianity. Using his in-depth knowledge of Christian scripture, Haffner has carefully examined the accusations levelled at Freemasonry. He gives reasoned answers and explanations to the issues raised in anti- Masonic publications and exposes their lack of substance. There are chapters explaining the organization and background of Freemasonry and how it functions, including the beliefs encompassed in the Order. This is a book every Freemason should have in his library both for his own reference and to educate non-Masons or those considering joining the Craft
