I agree with BG_TRBL's post . No , not all Masons are well off . We have Masons who make minnimum wage , we have Masons who are on disability and we have masons who are well off also . We do not care of a mans wealth or worldly possesions , it is what's inside that counts . I'm middle class . There are months that the wife and I do scrape by , yet I sit in lodge with judges , lawyers , doctors and big buisness owners and none look down on me , we all meet on the level . I bump into them outside of lodge and they greet me with a smile a hand shake or a slap on the back and chat with me .

Freemasonry is "veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols" because these are the surest way by which moral and ethical truths may be taught. It is not only with the brain and with the mind that the initiate must take Freemasonry but also with the heart. -C. H. Claudy
