January 2011 Masonic Education - Charges of a Freemason

Charges of a Freemason –  Section VI
 
    Found within the Constitution of the Grand Lodge of Texas are six sections dealing with the ancient charges of a Freemason which are extracted from the “Constitutions of 1723”. Of these sections, section VI deals exclusively with the subject of Masonic “Behavior”. It, too, is divided into six sections, namely:

December 2010 Masonic Education - The Ancient Charges

    Published in 1723 in the “Book of Constitutions”, the “Ancient Charges”, or “Old Charges”, is a set of rules laid down by Dr. James Anderson and a Committee of the Grand Lodge for the conduct of Freemasons. These rules have been adopted by most Grand Lodges and are so important that most lodges are expected to read them, or a version of them, aloud each year. They are found in “The Laws of the Grand Lodge of Texas, A. F. & A. M.” with the following introduction:

November 2010 Masonic Education - A Mason's Time

    Within the Lodge a Mason’s time is divided among labor, refreshment, and sleep, and the same is true within the symbolic Lodge. The constant reminder of the fleeting aspect of time is found upon reflecting upon the hourglass and its collection of sand particles. It truly is an emblem of human life and the importance of time to the Freemason.

October 2010 Masonic Education - Lodge Dues We Pay

   Most Brethren understand that a lodge is a certain number of Brethren with a charter or warrant, and when assembled, set to work. Likewise they know that lodge dues are the fees required to remain an active member of the fraternity, but there is more to consider with lodge dues than a simple fee.
