CLC - Master Mason - 05.30.17

R ECEPTION

You learned in the Entered Apprentice Degree that the circle drawn using the compass establishes the boundary line of your conduct beyond which you should not pass. The compass therefore points out the duty of self- control. Upon your admission into a Lodge of Master Masons, you learned more about the compass. Within its

points and therefore within each circle it draws, there are the principle tenets of Masonry: Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth. If the breast of the individual Mason is also filled with Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth, he cannot materially err.
