"....Ever since our formation in 1781, the ritual has been the tie that bonds us into one sacred band or society of men who can best work and best agree. Why do we continue to keep pushing the self destruct button of reducing our ritual? Why do we cringe and hide every time an anti-Masonic group attacks us? Reducing, removing and changing our ritual will never satisfy our critics. Whenever we have changed, they find new areas of criticism and will continue to do so. Stand Strong!!! We need not bend to any group, we are Freemasons, whose teachings and sacrifices helped to found our great Republic. In the words of our New York Brother, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself". ....."
