1.THERE IS NOTHING BETTER THAN THE BROTHERHOOD IN THE WORLD.

2.TO BETTER MYSELF.

3.TO BE AMONGST GOOD MEN.

4.TO BE A EXAMPLE 24 HOURS A DAY FOR OTHER PEOPLE.

5.TO BETTER MY RELIGION IN THE GREAT ARCHITECT OF THE UNIVERSE.

6.TO LIVE A BETTER LIFE.

7.TO KNOW YOU BELONG TO A ORGANISATION THAT CAN SOLVE INTERNATIONAL PROBLEMS THROUGH THE BROTHERHOOD AND PEACE WITHOUT DISADVANTAGE TO THE OTHER PERSON.

8.TO HELP OTHER PEOPLE WHO ARE IN NEED, TO HELP THEMSELF.

Simon's Reply:

Thank you, Ernst. (although I'm uncertain exactly what you mean by the fraternity solving international problems, because Freemasonry is not a political organization)

But, sharing and caring is what Freemasonry is about. Congratulations on your 25 years in the fraternity!
