Freemasonry - Founded in justice and benevolence… The grand object of Masonry is to promote the happiness of the human race.

George Washington

It is organized as a fellowship of men, a system of morals, a philosophy taught by degrees through the use of symbols, stories, legends, pictures, and drama. It has served as a center of union among differing backgrounds, cultures, and countries. It serves as the means of conciliating true friendship among persons, who, because of differences, would have otherwise remained at a perpetual distance or having never meet at all.

Remember - To be one, you must ask one.
