M ASONRY AS A P ROGRESSIVE M ORAL S CIENCE

As you were told at the altar, Masonry is a progressive moral science. It is progressive in that we pursue it by successive steps. It is a lifetime of chiseling on our imperfections, first as we progress through the three degrees and thereafter through life as Master Masons.

It is a science as, through observation, reflection, hypothesis and testing, we gain understanding of the moral standards inherent in its symbols and where we need to chisel next.
