The Mormon Church has no quarrel with Free Masonry or any other organization which is formed for a righteous purpose. It advises its members to refrain from identifying with any secret, oath-bound society. It believes that there exists within the Church all the elements which are necessary for spiritual, social, and ethical development of its members. We have observed that affiliation with secret, oath-bound organizations tend to draw people away from the performance of Church duties. It is difficult to serve two masters and do justice to both.
