It was the second Lodge chartered in Wichita County, Texas. The Lodge is active in community activities, including blood drives, scholarships, child identification projects, and local charity activities. Lodge meets on the Second Thursday of each month at 7:30 PM. As well as the first, third, fourth, and fifth Thursdays at 7:00 PM for floor school. In The Farmers Almanac for 1823 published at Ando
ver, Mass., the following was printed under the heading, "Character of a Freemason":
The real Freemason is distinguished from the rest of Mankind by the uniform, unrestrained rectitude of his conduct. Other men are honest in fear of punishment which the law might inflect; they are religious in expectation of being rewarded or dreading the devil in the next world. A Freemason would be just if there were no laws, human or divine, except those written in his heart by the finger of his Creator. He is the same in every climate and under every system of religion. He kneels before the Universal Throne of God in gratitude for his blessings and humble solicitation for his future protection. He venerates the good men of all religions. He disturbs not the religion of others. He restrains his passions because they cannot be indulged without injuring his neighbor or himself. He gives no offense because he does not choose to be offended. He contracts no debts, which he is certain he cannot discharge because he is honest upon principal.
