Freemasonry does ALL this….and Much More
1. Freemasonry is a staunch supporter of the Public School System, of law and order, and patriotism.
2. Freemasonry develops your ability to speak before groups and to be a true leader of good men.
3. Freemasonry allows all good men regardless of external qualifications to mingle in true Masonic fellowship.
4. Freemasonry teaches truths that are timeless. Her Ritual teaches the great and important lessons of brotherly love, relief, and truth.
5. Freemasonry lifts her members out of the hustle and bustle of todays society and reveals the more important virtues of temperance, fortitude, prudence, and justice.
6. Freemasonry demands nothing of her petitioners beyond a deep rooted belief in a Supreme Being and a desire to be serviceable to their fellowmen.
7. Freemasonry teaches us to practice charity in word and deed, to forgive and forget the faults of our brethren, to hush the tongues of scandal, to care for the crippled, the hungry and the sick and to be fair and just to our fellowmen.
8. Freemasonry tells us that regardless of where we travel in this world, we and our loved ones are under the protection of every Mason on earth who has sworn to protect and defend usjust as we have sworn to protect and defend them.
9. Freemasonry promises that should we ever be overtaken by misfortune, sickness, or adversity through no fault of our own, the hands of every member of our great fraternity will be stretched forth to aid and assist us.
10. Freemasonry also promises (if we so desire) that when our final exit from the stage of life has been made, there will be gathered round our lifeless body friends and brothers who will recall to mind our virtues, though they be but few, and will forget our faults, though they be many.
