"Freemasonry
takes good men and makes them better."
Masons'
come from all walks of life and professions. There are
Masonic Lodges in almost every country on earth, and
virtually every religion and ethnic group have members
who are Freemasons. Canadian Prime Ministers, American
Presidents, World Royalty, scientists, writers, philosophers,
giants of industry, athletes and musicians have all
been Freemasons. Famous Masons' of the last 300 years
reads like a who's-who of history.
More about Freemasonry.
What
draws men to Freemasonry?
To associate with other men who believe that by becoming
more useful to our fellow man, we will improve the World
in general. Freemasonry is not a charity, benevolent
association, rotary club, or business club, worthy as
these organizations are.
|
|
Freemasonry
is not a religion; it is a beautiful system of morality
that each brother is obligated to follow.

The oldest verified
masonic document is called
"The Regius Manuscript",
dated in 1390 and located in the British
Museum. It is a long poem in middle
English, hand lettered in beautiful
gothic writing, and consists of elaborate
rules of conduct and a strict moral
code. This moral code governed the lives
and actions of the Masons' engaged in
the building of the noble Cathedrals
and Abbeys, then being constructed through
out Great Britain. The document is now
615 years old but it is obvious from
it's wording that the organization of
which it speaks hadn't just sprung into
being. One reference in it speaks of
the Saxon King Athelston who reigned
from 925 AD until 940 AD and who is
said to have, "Loved
this craft full well."

A
Secret Society?
Freemasonry
is not a Secret Society. Simply by the definition
of a "secret society" we do not
qualify, because we are known, and have been
for hundreds of years. We are a society that
does have secrets, but these pertain only
to our rituals.
One
of our esteemed brethren, explained it perfectly
at our recent open house. More
about our Lodge - Zetland
"Nothing
that we teach, no part of masonic philosophy
is secret. It is only the symbols and dramatic
presentations of our moral lessons that are
secret. The reason for that is so each Mason
will find the lessons fresh and inspiring.
If the lessons
|
|
and
symbols
we use were common currency known to all the world,
they would not be fresh and dramatic as each new
Mason hears them. They would have become trivial,
and so lose their impact. But I emphasize again;
it is not the lesson that is secret but simply
the dramatic means by which it is presented."
