This quiz was not meant to embarrass anyone or make you feel as if you are not knowledgeable or even to let one brag or boast about how many more they were able to get than their fellow Brother. This was just a simple test to jog you memory and remember the things that we too often forget…. the ritual. We all have learned the answers to these questions over time but as we get up in years we tend to forget some of the simple things that we once were so eager to learn. This is just a reminder that every now an then you should try and pick up you Lester's and review what you had once learned. Take the time to refresh your memory of the things that once made Masonry an interesting subject. Take time out of your busy day to follow the words of our Most Worshipful Grand Master Lionell Cummings and go TEAM to TEAM in other words TELL EVERY AVAILABLE MASON - TO TEACH EACH AVAILABLE MASON… for the one who learns may just be you!
