Charity and humility presents a unique duality

in the tenets of our Ancient Craft. With one hand
a master mason extends his assistance and serves
his fellowmen with the other; With one foot, he
goes out of his way to help others and is ever
ready to kneel and ask for Divine Guidance with
the other.

This is what charity and humility dictates and

thus are the true foundations of a mason.

Grand Lodge Hymn

From west to east we journey
In search of the ancient word
Although the way be thorny
Our free will and full accord.

Great Architect of Heaven

Thy temple we build with hands
The labor of the Brethren
Fulfill of Thy wondrous plans.

O Hail Grand Lodge of Masons

Most Worshipful is Thy reign
O’er all the four horizons
Thy mandate is sovereign.

O Hail Grand Lodge of Masons

Most Worshipful is Thy grace
Our working tools and aprons
Are signs of Thy warm embrace.

O Hail Grand Lodge of Masons

Most Worshipful is Thy state
All men of God and reasons
Will knock at Thy pearly gate.

O Hail Grand Lodge of Masons

Most Worshipful is Thy name
Like jewels Thy truth emblazons
in history’s Book of Fame

O Hail, O Hail !!!

 WHAT IS
FREEMASONRY?
Masonry is not a religion nor a secret society.
It teaches man to practice charity and
benevolence, to protect chastity, to respect
the ties of blood and friendship, to adopt the
principles and revere the ordinances of religion,
to assist the feeble, guide the blind, raise up
the downtrodden, shelter the orphan, guard
the altar, support the government, inculcate
morality, promote learning, love man,
fear God, implore his mercy, and hope for
happiness.

Masonry is the universal morality, which is

suitable to all men regardless of race and creed.
It teaches no doctrine, except those truths which
tend directly to the well-being of man and
thereby achieve better men in a better world,
happier men in a happier world, and wiser
men in a wiser world.

No one is invited to become a Mason. A man

who wants to join must request a petition from
someone already in the society.

Among the VIRTUES a Mason should live by

are:
KINDNESS in one’s home
HONESTY in business
COURTESY in society
FAIRNESS in work
UNDERSTANDING and CONCERN for the
unfortunate.
