The Mason

THE MASON

He is a man who is earnestly striving to become a better man.

He recognizes the good that resides in the heart of every brother. He knows that the faults he sees in others reflect his own imperfection, and he does not set himself up as a judge of his brothers.

The Mason is one who has learned of life’s struggles, of its difficult paths, its disappointments, the price of holding fast to one’s integrity, and yet maintains faith in the ultimate triumph of Good over Evil.

The Mason is a man of generous heart, mind and hand. He looks upon the opportunity to serve humanity as a joyous privilege.

The Mason is a man who demonstrates his love of country by being a good citizen, by obeying the law of the land, by being true to his country’s ideals, and by his undying devotion and loyalty, both in time of peace and of war.

The Mason is a man who, by his acts and deeds, reveals his unswerving trust in the Infinite, Wisdom, Justice and Mercy of his Creator.

The Mason is one who maintains a stubborn attachment to duty, and is unyielding in his unceasing efforts to make a better society by making himself a better individual.
