What are two common responsibilities of a Master Mason toward his lodge?

• A. Choosing officers and setting by-laws
• B. Attending meetings regularly and assisting in lodge duties and charitable activities.
• C. Decorating the lodge and cooking meals
• D. Collecting dues and handling finances

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is that a Master Mason is expected to be actively involved in the lodge’s work and charitable efforts. Regularly attending meetings keeps the lodge functioning and preserves the rhythm of its rituals and decisions, while lending a hand with lodge duties and charitable activities puts that participation into practice—supporting the ceremonies, administration, and the lodge’s philanthropic mission.

This combination best fits the role because governance tasks like choosing officers and setting by-laws are typically handled by the lodge’s officers and voting members, not by a single member as a standing responsibility. Similarly, decorating the lodge or cooking meals are hospitality or ceremonial support activities, not core duties of contributing member involvement. Handling dues and finances is usually the purview of the treasurer or designated financial officers.
