The working tools of a Fellow Craft are the plumb, the square, and the level, which instruct us in our day-to-day living: righteousness in our dealings with our fellow men when tried by the square; equality when proved by the level; and uprightness when tried by the plumb.

The level instructs us in equality. Goodwill, charity, tolerance and truthfulness must be extended equally to all.

The plumb rule instructs us to be upright in our actions: with our family, be respected and loved; with our friends, be a Freemason in action as well as in word; with our employers and employees, be honest and reliable.

We join in fellowship easily because we have the same rights and privileges. Studious work has given to each of us a common knowledge of the work to be done. We are drawn to each other because we are filled with goodwill and a desire to assist one another, honor one another and practice that joy when called upon to do so by charity to a brother.
