Dependence—It is a universal law that each created object must depend upon other created objects for power to reach its perfection. All things depend upon God, No one is independent of his fellows. He gives to and receives from his co-habitants of the universe. God could have given everything directly from himself, but then the world would not have been one it would not have been a whole.
The helplessness of infancy is sustained and grown out of by the love of the mother and the care of the father; and man advances only by men means to each other of wealth, progress and happiness.
Thus Masonry advances the interests of all by teaching that all men are God's means of progress, and that men are a brotherhood of common interests, affection and care.
