This is in reply to GEORGE S. Robinson:


Brother George,

Thank you!  Your historical account of PH Freemasonry in regards to
their status (regular vs. clandestine) was great!  Hey, I don't think
you will have to convince too many people around here of the truth
you speak.  If I were a more bigoted Mason looking for an excuse to
exclude our PH brothers, I would still find your history lesson a
threat to the validity of my bigoted position.

I was not aware of MOST of what you said and thank you for the
education.  The truth is, I have known too many good Masons who were
PH members to ever judge them as clandestine regardless of their fine
history and rich culture.  In fact, if NONE of what you said were
true, I would still think of them as regular masons just like anyone
else here.  My reasoning is simple.  A Mason is not a Mason because
of a ritual or degree nor even by the permission of a Grand Lodge.  A
Mason was first MADE A MASON IN HIS HEART!  I have rarely met a PH
Mason that did not treat me or any other Mason (as well as his fellow
man in general) in any manner other than true Masonic form.  In
general I often envy them as their system seems to consistently
produce fine men and committed Masonic brothers.
