The Masonic Trowel

... to spread the cement of brotherly love and affection, that cement which unites us into one sacred band or society of brothers, among whom no contention should ever exist, but that noble emulation of who can best work or best agree ...

Greetings from UK Freemasons-

What a wonderful web site on American  freemasonry, I am an English mason from the UK and found your web site via a link from the UK mason list ( ukmason-list@list.listserve.org.uk )

I particularly liked the Utube short introduction to Masonry which was very well produced, in fact every aspect of the web site gave an excellent review on Freemasonry in USA, and how Masonry started in the UK., each section was well constructed with excellent graphics. 

Sincerely and fraternally,

Rowland Chambers.

Hello,

I found your website, and I am very thankful for it.  Your site has help deapen my affection for Freemasonry.  I had been wrestling with returning to a Lodge. And after reading several items on your site, and after several conversations, I have requested to become a member of King Solomon's Lodge.

Thank you for your website.

On searching for recipes for dinner I happened upon your site and found many answers to alot of my own questions. I am a relative newcomer , my gratitude for a site full of information and guides.

 

Since becoming an officer I have always found difficulties in learning the many aspects of being an officer. The many duties that are so rigorously carried out with the the lodge looking at me to exemplify what masonry is and at the same time show and learn how to lead. There is no satisfaction in giving up no matter how hard it becomes

 

A brother once asked me why I do what I do, a comparison, I have no direct definable reason other than to know that I have to be here in order to find out why. While odd I find it has a certain quality of beauty and trust in oneself to know how to make oneself a better man and at the same time /elping others in the same way.

Dear Bro Joe:

I came across your site when doing some research for info to young brothers raised these past two years.....

I am impressed with the depth and breadth of the content.

My heartfelt thanks for a "job well done".

I have a few years in Masonry (from the NY jurisdiction) and have written several speeches.  If you would be interested in any of them to add to your site, I would be honored to send them on.

My Fraternal Thanks

Your site was referred by a friend and PGM as a source of Masonic lectures and history.  Between your site and the MSA, I have not only been able to bring more light to my brothers, but have learned much myself and improved myself in Masonry.
