Grand Lodge of Ancient Free
Masons of South Carolina
Freemasonry is the oldest fraternal organization in the
world. It is dedicated to promoting improvement in the character of its members. A Mason is
taught to be a good citizen, to be of good character, and to care for those less
fortunate.
Freemasonry traces its roots to the Middle Ages. It is from associations of
stone masons, who built the magnificent cathedrals, castles, and monasteries of Europe that
the fraternity started.
These groups, eventually, began to accept members who were not
actual working masons. They adopted the term "Accepted" Masons, and Freemasonry was born.
"Freemasonry is a moral order instituted by virtuous men, with the praiseworthy design of recalling to our remembrance the most sublime truths, in the midst of the most innocent and social pleasures, founded on liberality, brotherly love and charity"

"Masonic labor is purely a labor of love. He who seeks to draw Masonic wages in gold and silver will be disappointed. The wages of a Mason are in the dealings with one another; sympathy begets sympathy, kindness begets kindness, helpfulness begets helpfulness, and these are the wages of a Mason."
