Posted on February 19, 2021 by Michael Hodges

I had a most interesting exchange with a non-Mason this morning. He was looking to challenge me on why he should join our fraternity. He asked: “Why should I join when ALL of your secrets and information is in books and online for anyone to look up?” “True”, I said. He seemed very surprised that…
