Of all good things in Masonry,
The one great virtue, you'll agree,
From First degree to Thirty-three,
Is this, JUST BEING KIND.

The Working Tools we nightly use,
This virtue in us all infuse,
And thus we others do enthuse
To be A LITTLE KIND.

The Five Great Points of Fellowship,
Alone, or in relationship,
Bound together by one strong Grip,
Teach us TO BE KIND.

The lib’ral Arts teach us each day,
The Sciences our minds do sway,
We learn from them the perfect way,
The Art OF BEING KIND.

It isn't asking you too much,
To give this little friendly touch,
But oh, the joy it gives to such
Of whom YOU'RE BEING KIND.

God this intended in His Plan,
When first He made His image, man,
Your fellow men then gently scan
And be A LITTLE KIND.

Rt.Wor.Bro.Charles Fotheringham
