Lebanon Lodge #34 Is a Masonic Lodge in Northern North Dakota Located in Langdon. Home of the International Past Masters Night.
In short, a Masonic Lodge is not just a meeting hall—it is a structured fraternity focused on moral development, symbolic teaching, fellowship, and service.
A system of morality
As described by Albert Pike:
“Freemasonry is a beautiful system of morality, veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols.”
The lodge exists to teach ethical living, personal responsibility, and virtue.
Use of symbolism
Freemasonry teaches through symbols—especially working tools of stonemasons (like the square and compasses)—to represent moral and spiritual lessons.
Brotherhood
Members refer to one another as “brothers.” The lodge fosters unity across social, religious, and political differences, emphasizing equality within the lodge.
Belief in a Supreme Being
Regular Masonic lodges require members to profess belief in a Supreme Being (often referred to as the “Great Architect of the Universe”), though they do not prescribe a specific religion.
Ritual and Degrees
Freemasonry confers three core degrees:
- Entered Apprentice
- Fellow Craft
- Master Mason
These degrees are taught through structured ritual and allegory.
Charity and Service
Charitable giving and community service are central. Lodges support hospitals, scholarships, disaster relief, and local causes.
“What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal.”
