A FORCE FOR GOOD
"Our lodges should maintain that high efficiency of moral rectitude, in both
principles and practices, which would be helpful and beneficial to the
neighbourhoods in which they are located. While masonry is neither religious,
political nor financial, yet it should stand among all these giving that moral
support, to those just and correct relations, that each should sustain to the
other. Masons, as men of the community, should in their conduct and conversation
create and maintain that healthy public opinion, that assures respect to our
churches and sanctity to our religion; that upholds our government and gives
dignity to the enforcement of our laws; that sustains our various industries,
and promotes honesty and fair dealings in all our financial relations; that
creates the community stamina and loyalty; that brings peace and security to our
homes, and joy and happiness to our hearts." (Milton Winham, P.G.M., Arkansas).
