Summary
The Grand Lodge Committee on Masonic Education is collecting presentations to disseminate to the Brethren of Virginia. The Regional Provost for Region 10 has started a Regional Provost Newsletter to be sent to each Lodge. This paper, written by Bro. Dawson C. Murray, tells a personal tale about young men who come from DeMolay and join the Masonic Lodge, only to experience culture shock at seeing Masons who are not living up to their obligations, so much it drives one new member away from Lodge. The lesson is, we are someone's impression of Freemasonry, and need to always bear that in mind.
