| Live
and Act as Masons, that you may die as Masons, altho' many of us cannot
read, yet by our searches and researches into men and things, we have
supplied that defect: and if they will let us shall call ourselves
a chartered lodge of just and lawful Masons: be always ready to give
an answer to those that ask you a question; give the right hand of
affection and fellowship to whom it justly belongs; let their colour
and complexion be what it will, let their nation be what it may, for
they are your brethren, and it is your indispensable duty so to do;
let them as Masons deny this, and we & the world know what to
think of them be they ever so grand: for we know this was Solomon's
creed, Solomon's creed did I say, it is the decree of the Almighty,
and all Masons have learned it: tis plain market language, and plain
and true need no apologies. PRINCE HALL |

The Winding Steps Rapid Growth In Pennsylvania The Underground Railroad on the Susquehanna River twenty miles north of the Maryland boundary is the borough of Columbia, Pennsylvania. In the early nineteenth century Columbia attracted a considerable settlement of former Negro slaves who had legally procured their freedom from their Virginia owners. In the succeeding decades, before the Civil War, these fugitives made their settlement a refuge for those of their race fleeing the bonds of slavery from the South. Tradition says that slaveholders lost their runaways so often around Columbia that they concluded, "there must be an underground railroad out there" |
