Square & Compasses No. 97 February 2020
We always inform our potential Candidates that the order of priority in our lives is: the Creator, our Family, our economic support system, and then Freemasonry. Every Brother has his priorities in life and I am sure that every one of us has challenges occurring on a daily basis.
