The square in our emblem, teaches us that it is our duty, to make our words and our deeds square with each other in all our relations with our fellow members and that no distinctions, or discriminations, should ever exist, because of one brother's or sister's financial success and worldly attainments, or another brother's or sister's lack of them.


The shield is emblematic of the protection that surrounds the individual in the exercise of his liberties under our form of government, and it also symbolizes our Order's purposes, to shield American institutions and American citizens from every menacing peril.
