Q Are Freemasons expected to prefer fellow


Masons at the expense of others in giving jobs,
promotions, contracts and the like?


A
Absolutely not. That would be a misuse of membership
and subject to Masonic discipline. On his entry into
Freemasonry each candidate states unequivocally that
he expects no material gain from his membership. At
various stages during the three ceremonies of his
admission and when he is presented with a certificate
from Grand Lodge that the admission ceremonies have
been completed, he is forcefully reminded that attempts
to gain preferment or material gain for himself or others
is a misuse of membership which will not be tolerated.
The Book of Constitutions, which every candidate
receives, contains strict rules governing abuse of
membership which can result in penalties varying from
temporary suspension to expulsion.
