My Brother: - As you are now introduced into the first principles of Masonry, I congratulate you on your admission into this ancient and honorable Order. No institution was ever raised on a better principle or more solid foundation.

There are three great duties which, as a Mason, you are charged to inculcate
---- to God, your neighbor, and yourself.
---- To God always eliciting in reverential awe that which is due from a man to his Creator
---- To your neighbor, in acting upon the square, and in doing unto him as you wish he should do unto you.
---- To yourself. In your outward demeanor, be particularly careful to avoid censure or reproach. Let no interest bias your integrity, or influence you to be engage in dishonorable actions.

Your attendance at our meetings is earnestly solicited; yet it is not meant that Masonry should interfere with your neccessary vocations, and in no way should you let your family be neglected

At your leisure hours, we earnestly hope that you may improve in Masonic knowledge, and we urge you to converse with well informed brethren.

Always keep sacred and inviolable the mysteries of the Order, as these are to distinguish you from the rest of the community, and mark your consequence among Masons. If, in the circle of your acquiantance, you find a person desirous of being initiated into Masonry, be particularly attentive not to recommend him unless you are convinced he will conform to the laws, customs and usages of the Order;

In all, seek to inure that the honor, glory, and reputation of the Institution may be firmly established, and that through you, the world at large will be convinced of its inherent reverential goodness.
