Joseph Fort Newton Forgotten Essays

This book is a collection of select articles from The Builder Magazine during the 4-year period of time Rev. Brother Newton was editor. His intellectual insights still apply today, and we wanted to preserve the precious wisdom of his, and to help you further study Newton's work.

The Builder Magazine (1915-1930) was published monthly to be positive, but not dogmatic; open-minded, but never indifferent; considerate of all, but absolutely uncompromising in respect of the principles of Freemasonry-seeking the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Critical it must be, since criticism is appreciation, estimate, "co-operation in the search for truth." Those who write for these pages may expect to have their theories put to the test of reason and fact in the open forum of debate, which is what the seeker after truth most desires. Let the discussion be frank, free, and thorough; all that the editor asks is that it be fraternal in spirit, each one keeping an open mind and a kind heart toward all his comrades in the great quest. Newton's, as the editor, one desire for this magazine being to encourage a spirit of fraternal fellowship and intellectual hospitality, of genial, joyous good will which, since the far-off days of the old "Regius Poem," has been the reigning genius wherever Masons meet.
