    1. These I saw myself as they were being dug out. A temple of no great size in the Doric style they have called down to the present day Metroum,51 keeping its ancient name. No image lies in it of the Mother of the gods, but there stand in it statues of Roman emperors. The Metroum is within the Altis, and so is a round building called the Philippeum. On the roof of the Philippeum is a bronze poppy which binds the beams together.

    1. Fort Simpson
      Fort Simpson was originally established by the Hudson’s Bay Company at a location on the north shore of the Nass River estuary. In the summer of 1834, the Hudson’s Bay Company moved its fort to a site on the Tsimshian peninsula at McLoughlin Bay, which is now called Port Simpson, British Columbia (Patterson 1994). In 1858 and 1894, Roman Catholic missionaries reached Fort Simpson and permanently resided there. The Roman Catholic Mission provided many resources for the community, such as St. Margaret’s Hospital built in 1916 and a school in St. Margaret’s Hall built in 1917. St. Margaret’s Hall was replaced by the Federal Day School in 1974 and was run by the Federal Government. Fort Simpson is still inhabited today and is a quite popular tourist destination. It is the only village in the Northwest Territories with a population of approximately 1,250. Some people of Fort Simpson still identify as Dene. Fort Simpson is accessible via airplane or highway. The Liard Trail Highway leads to Fort Simpson from British Columbia and the Mackenzie Highway reaches Fort Simpson from Alberta. Since both of these highways pass through expanses of nature, it is possible to see black bear, moose, woodland caribou, lynx, wolves, and bison alongside the highways (Fort Simpson Chamber of Commerce n.d.).

    1. Live and act as Masons, that you may die as Masons

      Do masons generally live by a righteous code?

    2. do justly and be faithful to them that hire you, and treat them with that respect they may deserve; but worship no man. Worship God, this much is your duty as Christians and as Masons.

      You can respect and listen to a man of higher social ranking than you (or your boss, etc.), but no man is worth worshipping. Worship is only for God.

    3. and yet some of us poor mortals will try to make you believe they are Gods

      Kings, emperors, slave owners, etc.

    4. and the only way to avoid it is the fear of God: let a man consider the greatness of his power,

      The only acceptable form of fear is fear of God, because that is called "having faith"

    5. How many Emperors and kings have left their kingdoms and best friends at the fight of a handful of men in arms; how many have we seen that have left their estates and their friends and ran over to the stronger side as they thought: all through fear of the men; who is but a worm, and hath no more power to hurt his fellow worm, without the permission of God, than a real worm.

      He's making the point that fear is the true enemy. You become a slave to fear.

    6. but justice and truth is his habitation; who hath said, Vengeance is mine and I will repay it, therefore let us kiss the rod and be still, and see the works of the Lord.

      God will bring the black people vengeance, they must patiently wait and have faith

    7. Although you are deprived of the means of education; yet you are not deprived of the means of meditation; by which I mean thinking, hearing and weighing matters, men and things in your own mind, and making that judgment of them as you think reasonable to satisfy your minds and give an answer to those who may ask you a question.

      A lack of education does not prevent you from rightfully questioning the conditions of your life.

    8. Thus doth Ethiopia begin to stretch forth her hand, from a sink of slavery to freedom and equality.

      The biblical spirit of ancient Ethiopia is metaphorically affecting the change in the lives of slaves? Is it their faith that is "stretching forth her hand"?

    9. ’tis not for want of courage in you, for they know that they dare not face you man for man, but in a mob, which we despise, and had rather suffer wrong than to do wrong, to the disturbance of the community and the disgrace of our reputation: for every good citizen doth honor to the laws of the state here he resides.

      The white man would never face a black man one-on-one, but will only face a black man with the support of others. Maybe a lone white man is afraid that the hatred and anger he has caused the black man would be too powerful for him to face alone?

    10. and there converse with her on points of masonry

      He keeps tying his preachings back to masonry

    11. This minister of Jesus Christ did not think himself too good to receive the hand, and ride in the chariot with a black man in the face of day; neither did this great monarch (for so he was) think it beneath him to take a poor servant of the Lord by the hand, and invite him into his carriage, though but with a staff, one coat and no money in his pocket.

      Even in the Bible there are examples of white people treating black people like humans

    12. The feelings of this little captive, for this great man, her captor, was so great that she forgot her fate of captivity, and felt for the distress of her enemy.

      Empathy is a powerful thing...

    13. which shews that there is not an independent mortal on earth; but dependent one upon the other, from king to the beggar.

      The human race is dependent on one another as a whole & we can exist completely alone.

    14. So in common affairs of life we sometimes enjoy health and prosperity; at another time sickness and adversity, crosses and disappointments.

      Life is full of ups and downs

    15. what must be the heart-felt sorrow and distress of these poor and unhappy people?

      He's very focused on the idea of empathy and feeling what others feel.

    16. that cannot change their skin: But God can and will change their conditions, and their hearts, too;

      "That cannot change their skin" really struck me here. Hall is a powerful writer.

    17. And this is not to be confined to parties or colours;

      It seems like it is going to be confined to color though, if he is addressing only black men.

    18. Prince Hall

      "an African American noted as an abolitionist, for his leadership in the free black community in Boston, and as the founder of Prince Hall Freemasonry. He lobbied for education rights for black children and was active in the back-to-Africa movement." --Wikipedia
