admits, makes, and passes Freemasons according to the Constitution and
Laws, and Edicts of The Grand Lodge of Texas, Ancient Free & Accepted
Masons. Its goals are to advance the moral and social interests
of its membership; to foster good citizenship, honest industry and
upright living; to cultivate the exercise of charity in its best and
broadest sense; to assist the widows and orphans of its deceased
members; to stimulate friendship, harmony and brotherly love, and
generally to promote, in its own way, the happiness of mankind --- it
is a Fraternity of good men, linked together by honorable and
indissoluble bonds, to accomplish these noble purposes, eschewing all
interests in factional politics and sectarian religion and free from
the dictation of both.

throughout the State of Texas, contributes to the relief of distressed
and needy brothers of the fraternity. The Grand Lodge of Texas
