More From Samuel Johnson

What is the purpose for which masonry exists? its ultimate purpose is the perfection of humanity. mankind it self is still in a period of youth. we are only now beginning to acquire a consciousness of the social aim of civilization, which is man's perfection. such perfection can never end with physical perfection, which is only the means to the end or spiritual perfection.
