The Square of Virtue

A society without standards will be a society without stability, and it will one day go down.  Not only nations, but whole civilizations have perished in the past for lack of righteousness.  History speaks plainly in this matter and we dare not disregard it.  Hence the importance attached to the Square of Virtue, and reason why Masons call it the symbol of their Craft.  It is the symbol of that moral law upon which human life must rest if it is to stand.  A man may build a house any way he likes, but if he expects it to stand and be his home, he must adjust his structure to the laws and force that rule the material realm.  Just so, unless we live in obedience to the moral laws which God has written in the order of things our lives will fall and end in ruin.

Masonic Trivia

The letters of the English word GOD are the first three letters of Hebrew words for Beauty, Strength and Wisdom. G in Gomez, O in Oz, D in Dabar.

• President Ford was a Mason. He received his York Rite Degrees in the Oval Office.

• The first registered livestock brand in Montana was the Square and Compasses dating back to before May 25, 1872 when brands were first registered. It is still in use today.

• When Brothers Richard E. Byrd and Bernt Balchen first flew over the North and South Poles, they dropped a Masonic flag on each Pole. Then, in the 1933-35 expedition, Brother Balchen tossed his Shrine Fez on the North Pole.
