Freemasonry is a fraternity of men bound together by vows of
morality in public and private life, who believe in God and the
constitutional rights of members to free choice of religion and
political persuasion
Masonry strives to make good men better- to teach its members to
be "better than themselves ". It accepts only men of high moral
character
The fraternity of Freemasonry endorses free public education,
encourages self improvement, promotes patriotism and respect for
the Constitution, sanctions equal rights under law, practices good
will towards all men, and contributes generously to philanthropies
Masonry is a benevolent, and educational society. Its basic tenets are
Brotherly Love, Relief (philanthropy) and Truth
Through the improvement and strengthening of the character of the
individual, Freemasonry seeks to improve the community
Masonry is not a benefit society, or a charitable institution. It assists
members by many means through times of hardship, but it is not an
insurance society with sickness, death, disabillity or old age benefits
Masonry is not a secret society. It is a well-known, nation wide
fraternity whose members proudly declare their membership. Masons
meet in buildings plainly identified as Masonic Temples, and public
announcements of their meetings are published in daily and
community publications. There is no attempt to hide the names of
community leaders who are Masons
Masons take part in an active social life that includes
their families and friends
Besides national philanthropic activity, such as scholarships
and medical research, masons maintain many types of local
charitable projects
Masonry with its dedication to education, morality,
brotherly love, non-sectarianism in religion and politics and
equal rights is a steadying influence that balances
and consolidates the social, religious, and political life
of America
