“The vital question is, will masonry be worth anything to you, and will you be worth anything to the fraternity. The answer – is yourself.” - Delmar D. Darrah

Remember these points. Masonry is a system of morality veiled in symbolism. It is the art and science of rightful living and interaction with the universe God has set before us. Our world is full with the work of great masons; from the founding fathers of our nation to Mark Twain, Mozart and Voltaire.

Whatever the reason you may seek admittance into the fraternity is known only to yourself. Perhaps it is curiosity, if accepted you will be undoubtedly satisfied. It may be your social aspirations; if accepted you will mix with some of the most brilliant and noble minds of your time. It may be that you want to join some mysterious society, then you are now in touch with the oldest one of all. Our ranks are present all around the world, supporting freedom of religion, relief for those in need, and the cultivation of the finest intellectual and moral principles known to man.
