I thought this was worth sharing......all one has to do is look at the faces of those sitting in lodge to figure out we are a dying breed, I don't know how accurate this is, but someone recently told me the average age of today's Mason is approximately 70 years old. With most of us fitting into that category, where will Masonry be 10-15 years from now unless we recruit new members?
A Foot Soldier For Freemasonry
I carry no bullet or bomb in my kit,
Just a spoken word and a brotherly grip.
My mission is neither holy or unjust,
It is simply brotherhood, charity, and trust.
I seek no office, I have but three degrees,
Making me a proud foot soldier for Freemasonry.
Our enemy is ignorance, of our customs and belief, We simply cherish honor, ethics, and relief. We are not a cult which deals in witchcraft or some perverse hate,
We are not an invisible empire with a questionable faith. Our precepts foster citizenship, hope and charity, Our intentions are honorable and promotes morality.
Members of our army are found in all walks of life, All armed with ethics, intent on fighting strife. A closed society we are not, we welcome all breeds, We welcome men of all color, race, faith, and creeds. But make no mistake, being a member should not be taken lightly, It requires honesty, integrity, and love of the Almighty. Our mission is to seek truth, justice, and help others renew, To build a better world for all people, not just the chosen few. But our soldiers grow weary, and our numbers dwindle, We need to rearm and enlist new soldiers to rekindle. Such men exist my Brothers, I tell you this with certainty,
If we are to survive, we need new foot soldiers for Freemasonry.
