"Freemasonry, in laying its foundations in secrecy, follows the divine order of nature, where all that is grand and beautiful and useful is born of night and mystery. The mighty labors which clothe the earth with fruits and foliage and flowers are "wrought in darkness" The bosom of Nature is a vast laboratory, where the mysterious work of transmutation of substances is perpetually going forwards. There is not a point in the universe, the edges of which do not touch the realms of night and silence. God himself is environed with shadows, and "clouds and darkness are round about his throne;" yet his beneficence is felt, and his loving spirit makes itself visible through all worlds. So freemasonry works in secrecy, but its benignant fruits are visible in all lands. Besides, this principle of secrecy furnishes a mysterious bond of unity and strength, which can be found nowhere else."
