What is Freemasonry? Probably one of the finest definitions ever devised for Freemasonry is: "It is a beautiful system of morality, veiled in allegory, and illustrated by symbols..." This system of morality, or ethics, is as old as civilization. One must penetrate the allegorical veils, with the aid of symbolical emblems, and practice the moral precepts which have been therein revealed to prepare

ourselves, spiritually, "as living stones for that house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens." Freemasonry is a "Way of Life."
