WHY MEN JOIN FREEMASONRY?

By Brother Dan Weatherington, from the Masonic e-mail journal CINOSAM

Not one person ever joined Freemasonry because Churchill was a Mason.

Not one person ever joined Freemasonry because George Washington, Walt Disney or Peter Sellers were Masons.

Nobody ever joined Freemasonry because of our great Masonic heroes:

Joining Freemasonry doesn't make you any of those people.

Not one person ever joined so that they could give money to charity:

You don't have to be a Freemason to give money to worthy causes.

Not one person ever joined because of our attention to lodge rules, regulations or ritual.

Outsiders don't know about all of our procedures.

They joined because someone they knew and admired was a Mason.

It could have been a father, a friend, a man down the street, or someone a thousand miles away.

Who it was didn't matter.

They admired him and wanted to do the things he did and they did it by the millions.

If you want to help promote Freemasonry, try to be the kind of man that other people admire.

Someone will notice.
