“The genius of Freemasonry is not our Masonic buildings and temples or the trappings of our organizations. It is not our great charities or community activities. It is not our beautiful rituals or their teachings! It is the 'practice of Freemasonry' by the Freemasons. Yet we cannot practice that which we do not know or understand. Thus Masonic education is the foundation for our Fraternity. Brother Carl H. Claudy in The Master's Book says, '.. one thing and only one thing a Masonic Lodge can give its members which they can get nowhere else in the world. That one thing is Masonry.” KnowsWorldGivingBookBeautifulCommunityPracticeOne ThingTeachingBuildingBrotherMastersGeniusActivityMembersOrganizationFoundationCharityTemplesRitualFraternityMasonicLodgesMasonryFreemasonry Author:Carl H.
