WHAT I WOULD LIKE MY FRIENDS TO KNOW ABOUT FREEMASONRY
"What is Freemasonry" It is a fraternal society which is based on certain moral and religious doctrines; the moral doctrines including Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth, Temperance, Fortitude, Prudence and Justice, and the religious doctrines comprising a belief in a Supreme Being and the immortality of the soul.
Its purpose is to improve humanity as a whole, each Mason being charged to walk uprightly before God and man; and by his rectitude of conduct to encourage others to conduct themselves in like manner.
Its tenants are ethical principals acceptable to all men. It teaches toleration toward beliefs of others, and charity towards all mankind. Freemasons are proud to proclaim that their fraternity consists of men bound together by bonds of brotherly love and affection, universally applicable throughout the world.
"Friend to Friend" is the phrase we use to instill the desire to ask another man to become a brother in the greatest fraternity in the world! Don't you know someone who would enjoy and learn from becoming a Mason.
