TRESTLEBOARD
FROM THE EAST Brethren, Spring has sprung. The flowers are blooming, trees are budding and the grass is growing greener. This is the season of renewal. We should take this example of renewal and reflect on our own faith and values. Also to renew our dedication to the Craft, so that, at all times, it may reflect our dedication to the tenets of the fraternity, not just among the Brethren, but with all mankind.
“ TRUE FAITHFULNESS” A Mason has carried out his responsibilities of citizenship when he has kept faith with his fellow men, with himself, and with his God; in his hand a sword for destroying evil; in his heart the gladness of song; in his mind the purest and noblest thoughts that warm the breast and elevate the soul. When he has shown the world that he is a man of honor and reputation, preferring his duty and the dignity and honor of his country to any degree of popularity and personal advantage. When by his exemplary character, both in public and private life, he has convinced mankind of the goodness of our gentle Craft. The Brother who carries his Masonry into the outer world and expresses its tenets in his daily life, is the man who will be most useful in promoting effectively the great ideals we cherish. -Grand Lodge of Minnesota

****** “It is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His mercy, to implore His protection and favor… That great and beneficent author of all good that was, that is, or ever shall be, that we may then unite in rendering unto Him our sincere and humble thanks for His kind care and protection of the people.” — George Washington
