Why should I join the York Rite?

As a Master Mason you've already received the first 3 of the 12 degrees of the York Rite. Last time you read a book did you stop after the third chapter or did you read on to see how the story ends? Don't you want to know what happens after the Master Mason Degree and the events that led up to it? The York Rite gives you the rest of the story.

• Would you like to know how to receive your wages? You learned what they were as a Fellow Craft; as a Mark Master you'll learn how to receive them.
   
• Would you like to meet Solomon's successor as Grand Master? You met him in the Master Mason Degree; in the Past Master’s Degree you’ll meet him again.
   
• Would you like to see the Temple of Solomon finally completed? In the Most Excellent Master Degree we celebrate to competition and dedication of the Temple.
   
• Would you like to receive the Master's Word? Not the substitute word given in the Master Mason Degree, but the actual long lost word of a Master Mason. As promised by King Solomon, in the Royal Arch, future generation shall discover it.
   
• Would you like to find out why we were able to recover the word? In the Royal and Select Master we’ll talk with Hiram and learn of the preparations that were made to safeguard the Word.
   
• Would you like to learn some of the history that connects the Knights Templar with Freemasonry?
