What is a Freemason ?

[ Bro. Robert C.Hoover Sr., has posted this article in one of the Lists. It is a               conversation between a mother and her child and brings out the                                information, Freemasons should give their children. The Freemasons are                   not properly instructing the children on the noble tenets of Freemasonry,              which most of them follow in their day to day life. This article is recommended          for all the Freemasons as a guide for enlightening their children about  our               noble  fraternity. Let us all earn the appreciation and  the encomium of our Children. that they are Proud of us..... Please read on....]

 Mother, please do explain to me, with  clarity, what is a Freemason?
What care does give you in that, my son?
My father is a Freemason and fair that I know!  

The mother, with great tenderness and affection  with her hands stroking                      her son's hair,  made him sit down by her side and she began to narrate the
the true description of the freemason in her husband.

"Freemason, my dear son, is a well educated man, a man of good conduct, 
who doesn't allow any  bad passion to vibrate in his heart, which doesn't 
entertain even the least trace of any  injustice or cruelty, but always
 seeks the truth and  is a shining  example of  good conduct  and  honesty.
In any cause, he acts with  fairness.

He considers the home, a Temple and discharges his duties to his home.
He is a specialist, who doesn't get tired of  learning. He respects all
opinions and  is against to all oppressions, but  humbly extends a helping,                     hand to the needy. practicing the noble  virtue of  charity.

He hates the evil and is always ready to run to defend  the virtuous and                        the oppressed. He  helps the old ones and  gives piece of advice to                            the youths. He forgives every offense.

 He always strives to acquire perfection,with  the full knowledge that                  nobody is without defects."

In any way, my son, I  believe that I have defined the personality of a
Freemason, because, I drew you your father's picture.

The boy, kissing his mother gratefully,  whispered in her ear:
MOTHER! I  AM  PROUD OF MY FATHER !
