Bethel 98, Crystal Lake

Our Masonic Heritage

The International Order of Job's Daughters members have a relationship to a Master Mason, and while it is no part of the Masonic Fraternity, this pre-requisite ties it closely to the Masonic Order. 

In general, the Book of Job teaches us a Masonic optimistic lesson - Not to fall in despair; it shows that Masonic ideas are imperishable. We see this exemplified in Job's life. Job saw the growth and upbuilding of his home, he also saw its ruin. but again he beheld its revival and reconstruction. 

We are proud of our Masonic heritage. The Masonic fraternity is a group for men that is geared to making them better men. Many people have heard of the free Shriners Hospitals for Crippled Children and Shriners Burn Hospitals. To be a Shriner, a man must first be a Mason. Other organizations that require a Masonic relationship or some sort of Masonic sponsorship include Eastern Star, DeMolay, Rainbow Girls, Amaranth, White Shrine and many others.
