Name two duties emphasized for a Master Mason in daily life.

• A. Assist distressed brethren and their families.
• B. Observe every secret identity of other Brethren.
• C. Live honestly and uprightly; assist and relieve distressed brethren and their families.
• D. Seek political influence.

Answer: (C)

A Master Mason is expected to live with truth and charity in daily life. This means two clear duties: first, live honestly and uprightly—being truthful, keeping promises, and acting with integrity in all dealings; second, assist and relieve distressed brethren and their families—showing brotherly love by offering aid and support when a fellow Mason or his family is in need. These reflect Masonry’s emphasis on Truth and Relief as practical, everyday values. Choices that suggest spying on other Brethren or pursuing political power don’t fit the established daily-life duties, as discretion about secrets is respected and political ambition isn’t a stated objective of a Master Mason’s conduct.
