Masonic
Light- Why President McKinley Became a Mason
When General Horatio
King asked William McKinley how he happened to become a mason he explained: "After
the Battle of Opequam, I went with our surgeon of our Ohio regiment to the field
where there were about 5,000 Confederate prisoners under guard. Almost as soon
as we passed the guard, I noticed the doctor shook the hands with a number of
Confederate prisoners. He also took from his pocket a roll of bills and
distributed all he had among them. Boy-like, I looked in wonderment; I didn't
know what it all meant. On the way back from camp I asked him: Did you know
these men or ever seen them before?"
"No," replied the
doctor, "I never saw them before."
"But," I
persisted, "You gave them a lot of money, all you had about you. Do you
ever expect to get it back?"
"Well", said the doctor, "If
they are able to pay be back, they will. But it makes no difference to me; they
are brother Masons in trouble and I am only doing my duty."
"I
said to myself, if that is Freemasonry I will take some of it for myself." |
