         A Mason's Belief

Of the millions of people in the world, most know nothing of
Masonry and a few know only that it is a "secret" society.

Yet our principles and our aims are highly moral, just and
good, and our contributions to the peace and liberty of
mankind are many and great. Why then do we still continue
to "hide our light under a bushel"?

Here, in my opinion, is our Motto, our Creed and our
Commandments - and we should proudly proclaim them to
the world!

         A MASON'S MOTTO

Brotherhood for all Mankind
