Here to stay

We have to contend with ignorance and prejudice in all parts of the country. In some localities individuals would even go to the extent of persecution to destroy Co-Masonry. It takes courage and perseverance to overcome all of that. We will overcome it, but it will take years yet before Co-Masonry is generally recognized as an organisation that is here to stay.

Louis Goaziou in 1923. Quoted in Karen Kidd’s On Holy Ground.
