Quote of the Month:
Masonry, in which we all believe and to which we are deeply devoted,
will be no stronger than we see it, so never see it negatively…
always see it positively… and it will go on from strength to strength

“Brotherly Love, Relief & Truth”
The Bee Hive
is an emblem of industry and recommends the practice of that virtue...never sitting down contented while our fellow-creatures around us are in want, especially when it is in our power to relieve them without inconvenience to ourselves.

January will mark what would have been the 251st birthday of one of our Scottish Brethren of literary note, Robert Burns, National Poet of Scotland. Brother Robert Burns was born on January 25th, 1759 and the night of his birth is celebrated around the world with a dinner get-together called a “Burns Night”. Traditional Scottish music, food and drink are celebrated along with guests sharing some of his poetry.
“God knows, I'm no the thing I should be,
Nor am I even the thing I could be.”
