KAUWAI

Alohaʻoe i nā poʻe o ka Ancient Free a me ka Masonry i ka Honua. Keʻike nei kēlā me kēia Masonʻo kona holomua ma ke kiʻekiʻe o Masonry he huakaʻi eʻimi i ka "mālamalama hou" aiʻole i kaʻimi no kaʻike a me kaʻoiaʻiʻo. ʻO ke kūlana o Masonic, ko lākou manaʻo a me ko lākou kūlana lawelawe, ua kiʻekiʻe loa i ka hōʻailona iʻoi aku ma mua o nā pānaʻi'ōlelo a pau; no laila, ke noiʻi āpau o ka Masonry no nā makahiki he mau makahiki. Uaʻike nō hoʻiʻo Masons he waiwaiʻole nāʻoihana a me nā hōʻailona hana keʻole ke ola o kēlā me kēia hoahānau e like me nā kuleana āna i hana ai pēlā. Ma ka hoʻomaopopoʻana i keʻano o nā hōʻailonaʻo Masons, a me nā non-Masons, e hele mai eʻike i kēia mau hiʻohiʻona e like me nā mea kuhikuhi i ko mākou alanui o ke ola,ʻoiai mākou eʻimi e huli i ko mākou ala e hoʻi ai i ke Keʻena o ka Palemana.

Masonry a me kona mau hōʻailona, ʻoi aʻe ma mua o nā puke'ē aʻe iʻikeʻia e ka Fraternity, ke hāʻawi nei i kahi loulou i waena o nā manaʻo o ka Ancient Masonry a me nāʻano kūlohelohe maʻamau o kēia mau lā. E hoʻonui ai i ka holomua o Mason i ka loaʻaʻana o ka "mālamalama."

Ua loaʻa iaʻu ke kuleana e lilo i lālā no ka Uila no nā makahiki 37 a me kekahi haumāna o kēia puke no ka 23 o ia mau makahiki. E kuʻu mau hoahānau, ke'ōlelo nui nei au Masonry a me kāna mau Hōʻailona ʻo ka heluhelu mua ia e hoʻohui i kāuʻike piha i ka Masonry.
