The highest aim of Man is the discovery of the Truth ; the 
search after Truth 1s his noblest occupation. It is more—t is 
his duty. Every step onwards we take im science and learning 
tells us how nearly all sciences are connected. There rs a deep 
Philosophy in that connexion yet undeveloped,—a Philosophy of 
the utmost moment to man—let us seek rt out. The world in 
which we live is a beautiful world, and the Spirit of Omnipotence 
has given us many pleasures and blessings—shall we not enjoy 
them? Let us refresh ourselves with them thankfully, whalst 
we go forth in aur search after Truth. We are all brethren, 
but it has pleased God variously to endow our minds: Some 
delight in one thing, some vn another: Some work for the good 
of the body, and some for the good of the Soul: Let us all work 
together on fellowship for our mutual happiness & yoy: Wherefore 
should men quarrel one with another, because they hold different 
doctrines? Such as seek for Truth in the right spirit sympathize 
with each other, and however opposite may be thew present 
opinions, revile them not, but assist in their developement 
knowing however wide apart may seem the paths they have 
chosen, one goal 1s avmed at, and of persevering, both must meet 
mm the one wished for Temple. Let those who feel the spirit 
to develope the Wisdom of Creation, and to act for the good of 
their fellow men, strong within them, unite together in a bond 
of fellowship each Brother devoting his tume and his energies 
to the department for which he feels and proves himself best fitted ; 
communicating his knowledge to all, so that all may benefit 
thereby, casting away selfishness and enforcing precepts of Love : 
By such means Glory shall accrue to his order, so that 1 may 
wax powerful im intellectual strength, and become a mental and 
a moral safeguard to the World, and a bond of union among all 
nations. Such is our Brotherhood. 
In the subjoined scheme of our objects and principles, the 
Candidate will find what is required of him: The tres that bind 
us together are ties of Intellect and Love. Should money ever be 
wanted for the promotion of the objects we have in view, it must 
be contributed only as a voluntary gift, and not as a prece of 
admission into our Fraternity.
