Dear
Brothers
,
"
he
began
,
blushing
and
stammering
,
with
a
written
speech
in
his
hand
,
"
it
is
not
sufficient
to
observe
our
mysteries
in
the
seclusion
of
our
lodge
--
we
must
act
--
act
!
We
are
drowsing
,
but
we
must
act
.
"
Pierre
raised
his
notebook
and
began
to
read
.
"
For
the
dissemination
of
pure
truth
and
to
secure
the
triumph
of
virtue
,
"
he
read
,
"
we
must
cleanse
men
from
prejudice
,
diffuse
principles
in
harmony
with
the
spirit
of
the
times
,
undertake
the
education
of
the
young
,
unite
ourselves
in
indissoluble
bonds
with
the
wisest
men
,
boldly
yet
prudently
overcome
superstitions
,
infidelity
,
and
folly
,
and
form
of
those
devoted
to
us
a
body
linked
together
by
unity
of
purpose
and
possessed
of
authority
and
power
.
"
To
attain
this
end
we
must
secure
a
preponderance
of
virtue
over
vice
and
must
endeavor
to
secure
that
the
honest
man
may
,
even
in
this
world
,
receive
a
lasting
reward
for
his
virtue
.
But
in
these
great
endeavors
we
are
gravely
hampered
by
the
political
institutions
of
today
.
What
is
to
be
done
in
these
circumstances
?
To
favor
revolutions
,
overthrow
everything
,
repel
force
by
force
?
...
No
!
We
are
very
far
from
that
.
Every
violent
reform
deserves
censure
,
for
it
quite
fails
to
remedy
evil
while
men
remain
what
they
are
,
and
also
because
wisdom
needs
no
violence
.
"
The
whole
plan
of
our
order
should
be
based
on
the
idea
of
preparing
men
of
firmness
and
virtue
bound
together
by
unity
of
conviction
--
aiming
at
the
punishment
of
vice
and
folly
,
and
patronizing
talent
and
virtue
:
raising
worthy
men
from
the
dust
and
attaching
them
to
our
Brotherhood
.
Only
then
will
our
order
have
the
power
unobtrusively
to
bind
the
hands
of
the
protectors
of
disorder
and
to
control
them
without
their
being
aware
of
it
.
In
a
word
,
we
must
found
a
form
of
government
holding
universal
sway
,
which
should
be
diffused
over
the
whole
world
without
destroying
the
bonds
of
citizenship
,
and
beside
which
all
other
governments
can
continue
in
their
customary
course
and
do
everything
except
what
impedes
the
great
aim
of
our
order
,
which
is
to
obtain
for
virtue
the
victory
over
vice
.
This
aim
was
that
of
Christianity
itself
.
It
taught
men
to
be
wise
and
good
and
for
their
own
benefit
to
follow
the
example
and
instruction
of
the
best
and
wisest
men
.
"
At
that
time
,
when
everything
was
plunged
in
darkness
,
preaching
alone
was
of
course
sufficient
.
The
novelty
of
Truth
endowed
her
with
special
strength
,
but
now
we
need
much
more
powerful
methods
.
It
is
now
necessary
that
man
,
governed
by
his
senses
,
should
find
in
virtue
a
charm
palpable
to
those
senses
.
It
is
impossible
to
eradicate
the
passions
;
but
we
must
strive
to
direct
them
to
a
noble
aim
,
and
it
is
therefore
necessary
that
everyone
should
be
able
to
satisfy
his
passions
within
the
limits
of
virtue
Our
order
should
provide
means
to
that
end
.
"
As
soon
as
we
have
a
certain
number
of
worthy
men
in
every
state
,
each
of
them
again
training
two
others
and
all
being
closely
united
,
everything
will
be
possible
for
our
order
,
which
has
already
in
secret
accomplished
much
for
the
welfare
of
mankind
.
"
This
speech
not
only
made
a
strong
impression
,
but
created
excitement
in
the
lodge
.
The
majority
of
the
Brothers
,
seeing
in
it
dangerous
designs
of
Illuminism
,
*
met
it
with
a
coldness
that
surprised
Pierre
.
The
Grand
Master
began
answering
him
,
and
Pierre
began
developing
his
views
with
more
and
more
warmth
.
It
was
long
since
there
had
been
so
stormy
a
meeting
.
Parties
were
formed
,
some
accusing
Pierre
of
Illuminism
,
others
supporting
him
.
At
that
meeting
he
was
struck
for
the
first
time
by
the
endless
variety
of
men
's
minds
,
which
prevents
a
truth
from
ever
presenting
itself
identically
to
two
persons
.
Even
those
members
who
seemed
to
be
on
his
side
understood
him
in
their
own
way
with
limitations
and
alterations
he
could
not
agree
to
,
as
what
he
always
wanted
most
was
to
convey
his
thought
to
others
just
as
he
himself
understood
it
.
*
The
Illuminati
sought
to
substitute
republican
for
