Freemasonry is the oldest surviving fraternal order in the world, and is a place for men of conscience to come together to become better men, husbands, fathers, friends, brothers, colleagues, and citizens.

One of the tenents of our fraternity is brotherhood and friendship. The following thoughts from Aristotle define my sentiment on our friendship:

The Greek philosopher Aristotle tells us that there are three kinds of friendship:

• We have friends who make us laugh, whose company we enjoy.
• We have friends who are useful to us, who lend things to us, and who do things for us that we cannot do well for ourselves.
• Finally, we have "friends in the good." This friendship occurs when we are united with others in a common undertaking, which lifts us to another level, giving us a desire to strive for something beyond our own lives. This is the highest form of friendship, and we seek it, says Aristotle, because we quite simply become better people for having "friends in the good."

We will strive to practice the type of brotherhood and friendship that is reflective of Aristotle's third kind of friendship. The more we strive, the better our fraternity will be.
