Masons, also called Freemasons, Free and Accepted Masons, or Ancient Free and Accepts Masons have existed by some accounts as far back as King Solomon’s Temple, though the earliest accounts of masons are from a record during the reign of King Athelstan in what is now the UK, c900ad. Masons are a fraternity of good men that strive to make themselves better men through the study of morality and through service to each other and their communities. There are three requirements for joining: That the candidate be a man, that he be of good character, and that he believes in god and the immortality of the soul, regardless of HOW he knows god. Masonry does not ask, and as it is not a religion, but a fraternity of good and honorable men, it only requires that you have SOME kind of faith in the deity. Masons do not recruit members, but rather, for the most part, wait until a man asks to join, of his own free will and accord. Masonry has a long and distinguished history. The United States was, in large part, formed on masonic principles by masons. George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, John Hancock, Paul Revere and many others were freemasons. Other famous masons are, in part: Gen Black Jack Pershing, Gen Douglas MacArthur, Gen George S. Patton, Neil Armstrong, John Wayne, Gerald R. Ford, Harry S. Truman, Theodore Roosevelt, Andrew Johnson, (in total, 17 of the 44 presidents of the United States have been freemasons), Red Skelton, L. Souza, Audie Murphy and many many more. The list is offered to show the diversity of the members, AND to show the contributions these men have made to the country and their community. Freemasonry teaches morality by the use of allegorical tales, illustrated by symbols, and seeks to have our members act in a moral and upright manner. Our moral lessons are taught using the symbols of the masons trade, Trowel, Level, Plumb, Square, Guage etc. Masons exist in every free country, and in some not so free countries underground, in the world. In fact, when the Socialist government in the former Soviet Union fell, over 187,000 freemasons stepped into the light of day and publicly joined their worldwide brethren.
