 sively, and she needs no ritual, and she needs no artifice. 



So he that hath the subUme in his soul, let him preach 

 righteousness by living it forth in its native simplicity, 

 stoutly and sturdily. He shall awaken a responsive chord 

 in all unperverted natures^ and a multitude shall call him 

 blessed. 



Let us dedicate this simple lodge to this purpose, to 

 this ministry. Here our beloved teacher came again and 

 again, as one comes home, for cheer and for aid. Hither 

 let us turn as often as we may, not only for what we may 

 gain of good from the sermons in these stones, but still 

 more for the higher, more quickening inspirations from 

 a life true to itself and in touch with Nature. 



"God's truth has many voices; sun and star 

 And mountain and the deep that rolls afar 

 Speak the great language; and of mightier worth 

 The lips and lives of godlike men on earth."
