Masons continue to use the simple tools of the ancient stonemasons — the square and compasses, the trowel, plumb and level — as symbols to teach their ideals. A Mason is oath-bound to build his life and character with the same care and precision that stonemasons used to construct the cathedrals and temples centuries ago.
Today, there are about three million Masons in the world, with the United States claiming about 1.6 million of the total membership. A survey that was conducted by the Masonic Service Association puts the charitable aspect of Freemasonry into perspective. That survey shows that American Masonic philanthropy is approximately $2.0 million per day.
