Service Circles
There is a natural ingrown reluctance on the part of Masons, Masonic Lodges appendant and concordant bodies to divulge the amount spent on charitable endeavors, particularly regarding charity relief of their own members. Even those Lodges which are heavily endowed do not make details of their relief efforts public. When a need exists in a particular case, many Masonic bodies merely "pass the hat" and do not make it a matter of record as to how much was collected. This is Masonic charity at its best.

Today's Boy Scouts - Tomorrow's Phoenixmasons
The New Age stands as yet
Half built against the sky
Open to every threat
Of storms that clamor by.
Scaffolding veils the walls
And dim dust floats & falls
As moving to and fro, their tasks
The Masons ply.
While we as Phoenixmasons are forming study-circles to improve ourselves, we need to form service-circles to improve the lot of others.
