The public may assume a person to be a Mason because of his good deeds and good behavior and this simple fact alone should say something to Masonry's antagonists!

General De Wet became a hero among the Boers, always keeping just one step ahead of the British, yet still worrying them like a terrier whenever the opportunity presented itself. One brother wrote to the Editor of the AQC
