Brotherhood and its patrons

But anyway, a Masonic brotherhood, continuing to remain in the weight professional association of builders, has received high patrons thanks to whom, probably, and has remained when craft цехи began to fall into decay and disappear gradually.
At this time boxes are entered by representatives of scientific intelligency, philosophers and people of reformatory mentality who because of come after Reformatsiej reaction could not state freely the sights any more. The utopian ideas asserting that it is possible to construct a fair society on bases достижний a science and reason get into a freemasonry. As it is impossible for development of these ideas more the structure of building corporations in which, along with representatives of heavy manual skills, people creative - artists, sculptors, architects entered promoted also. The Masonic shop in itself was a symbol of that any large business demands concordant efforts of all workers how are low or their knowledge and ability were high. These ancient ethics of builders became a fertile field for development of ideas of justice, equality and nonviolent repartition of a society on new, more reasonable basis.
These ideas was unsafe to proclaim openly; symbolical language of a freemasonry from here originates. Building tools become the signs symbolising moral qualities, embody ethical laws of justice, process of building becomes a symbol of construction of a new perfect society. The freemasonry, thus, gradually turns from corporate ideology of a craft brotherhood to the ethical doctrine which is bringing up in the adherents the best human qualities.
Here is how outstanding Russian writer Michael Osorgin wrote about Masonic works:" In the long term lime avenue there are outlines of a stood Temple which will be never completed.

They are called by nobody - they have found themselves and have mutually confirmed. The brotherly chain kafinsk in knots has connected them together and has separated from the bearing malice, sick, uneducated world which should creating. While other builders, experts and visionaries are a benefactor mankind ready programs, treat to its social experiences, pull out each other reins of jingling chariots and slide head over heels under feet всбесившихся horses, - these secret conspirators, out of political passions and prejudices - on that party of dogma and obligatory beliefs, having armed with a hammer and a cutter of searches, slowly square each own rough stone, trying to give to it correct, convenient for adjustment to another the form. The past the first искус puts the base from these stones and puts up walls of a new ideal Temple; tested in work put fine drawing on a drawing board and supervise over building. The stately Temple grows both in breadth and up, - but its scales are that that only all mankind could the general amicable efforts to complete its construction by a uniform dome. To live before any mason does not dream; It is content with the small contribution, - and he dies, bequeathing the business to the master new which, maybe, will alter anew all its work, because the best the enemy good, the true is known to nobody..."
