THE BEEHIVE CHARGE Extend no token to the ruthless hand of ignorance. Labor at a safe distance from those who desire unearned wages and any who daub with mortar untempered. Sincerity and plain dealing distinguish the true Entered Apprentice, the arts and sciences the engaged Fellow Craft, and unfeigned piety the honest and worthy Master Mason. Seek those qualities out, and be cautious when you do not see them in an individual who wears our apron. Reflect further that, where silence and circumspection are not, those things that silence and circumspection are intended to preserve and guard will never be found. Though we are all imperfect ashlars, endeavor to befriend brothers who will truly meet you on the Level and who strive to make their lives actually reflect the teachings of Freemasonry. Do not become overly entangled in the machinations of those who have elected not to take the wise truths of our Art seriously. Have compassion for them, and know that ones like this have always gathered near us—for even the earliest brethren wrote admonitions regarding them, both in their literature and in the very ceremonies themselves. Wish all men well, but remember the hourglass, and focus resolutely on that which you came here to do. There is no shortage of work in this Temple. Our labor is not to be concerned with the recumbent drone, but to gather what is scattered so that the hive will have honey, and the lodge greater Light.—Shawn Eyer Soliloquized by Joey Bowyer Junior Warden Ascension Lodge No. 89 July 23, 2018

ARIZONA MASONS OUT AND ABOUT
GEORGE WASHINGTON MEMORIAL The George Washington Masonic National Memorial stands as the most distinguished monument to Washington ever build by a private organization. Erected in the 1920s and 30s, it soars 333 feet as a beacon of Light and knowledge, educating and inspiring all who visit it. Recognized in 2015 as a National Historic Landmark, the Memorial is one of the most impressive and iconic buildings in the area around our nation’s capital. Our new fundraising endeavor, The Landmark Century Campaign, aims to support a thorough restoration of the Memorial. And we can help! Today, the Memorial is a museum like no other in the world. Everything we do revolves around our vision: “to inspire humanity through education to emulate and promote the virtues, character and vision of George Washington, the Man, the Mason, and Father of our Country.” Open seven days a week, the Memorial offers detailed exhibits and guided tours that teach the general public about George Washington, his life and virtues, and the role that Freemasonry played throughout his life. Further, the Memorial is an important space for the performing arts, social gatherings, public events, and educational seminars. And, of course, it is an active Masonic temple, housing two Craft lodges and regularly hosting visiting lodges from around the country. The Memorial is a central hub connecting Masons to one another, and connecting the Craft to the public, our nation, and our world For the past decade, the Memorial Association has devoted tremendous energy and resources to the renovation of the Memorial. Major exhibits have been added. Interiors have been repaired and repainted. Lighting has been updated. But the most considerable work is the top-to-bottom restoration of the building itself—the first such renovation since the Memorial was completed nearly a century ago. Beginning at the Memorial’s pyramid level, we have begun a multi-year project to perform all needed structural repairs. Stone by stone, are repointing the mortar and protecting the building from water penetration. When completed, the building will be in
better than new condition.
Your generous help is essential in reaching that goal.

Arizona Masonry
By Steve Johnson - Arizona State Chapter Dad Advisor Arizona DeMolay celebrated a fantastic year over the weekend of July 13th through July 15th by holding its annual Convention at the Doubletree by Hilton Phoenix North. Over 90 members and advisors attended for fun and fellowship. This was a time to look back on a great year under the leadership of the 90th Arizona State Master Councilor, Jared Replogle, and to look to the future under the guidance of the 91st Arizona State Master Councilor, Harrison Cantrell. Over the weekend, the members played hard, celebrated a phenomenal year, and planned for the future. Two seminars were held during Convention, with members age 12 and 13 learning about job readiness. They received education about applying for jobs, and had an opportunity to fill out actual applications, as well as experience a job interview. At the same time our members age 14 and up attended and graduated from a High School/College Prep seminar put on by Past International Master Councilor, Chase Gordon. Arizona DeMolay is focused on providing real world solutions, and these two seminars are just the beginning of a new direction at helping our members gain the skills they need for education and career advancement. On Saturday, July 14th a Grand Banquet was held followed by the installation of both our State Officers and Sweetheart Court. The event was attended by over 170 members, guests, and dignitaries. Most Worshipful Grand Master Craig L. Gross honored Arizona DeMolay with his presence and spoke of the importance of Masonic youth, and how the Masonic family should work to support one another. DeMolay is proud to be a part of the greater Masonic family. We now have a DeMolay member who is active with the El Zaribah Shrine, an active DeMolay and Past State Sweetheart who joined Amaranth. We saw 3 brothers join Scottish Rite this past year, and, over the past 4 years, have seen no less than 30 active DeMolay and their fathers join Masonic Lodges across Arizona, two, of which serve as likely the youngest ever Worshipful Masters of their Lodges at this current moment. This year’s Grand Banquet offered Arizona DeMolay an opportunity to review the past and celebrate such achievements as membership growth, new Chapter development, honors and awards. Arizona DeMolay stands behind the fact that it is a youth led organization and this year’s Convention was a tremendous event to celebrate our success and contributions to Masonry.
Arizona Masonry RW Randy Jager and his lady Lynn, received commissions of “Kentucky Colonel,” the highest title of honor given by the Governor and bestowed by the Commonwealth of Kentucky, in recognition of noteworthy accomplishments and outstanding service to a community, state or the nation. The honors were presented by Worshipful Brother Russell Amling and his wife Kathleen, Tuesday, July 10th at Oasis Lodge #52 stated communication.

Masonic Trivia Twelve miles west of Flagstaff, Arizona is located the finest prairie land in Arizona. In the area was located a place called Volunteer Springs Ranch owned by Walter J. Hill who was one of the largest sheep raisers in Arizona. Mr. Hill settled there in 1876 and built his first log house near a spring. Mr. Hill's flocks were all high grade Merino and his wool consistently brought the highest market prices. As visitors entered Volunteer Springs Ranch, it seemed as if they were entering a village, there were so many buildings. The most conspicuous building was the villa residence of the owner, a two-story building containing twelve rooms. Also the ranch had a commissary, stables, ice-house and blacksmith. Mr. Hill possessed a library which contained many costly and rare books. He purchased the best edition of everything and his library shelves held many books of rare typographical beauty and rich bindings. The panic of 1893 brought bankruptcy to Hill and horse thieves stole his remaining stock. Tracking them with the Sheriff, he was shot in the head while sneaking up on the bad men. He survived the wound but it changed his personality and his mental decline was as precipitous as he story was bizarre. He could no longer hold a job and ended up in jail and out of jail in California. Walter James Hill was one of the charter members of Flagstaff Masonic Lodge #7, serving as it's Under Dispensation Master in 1888. Air Conditioning (1902) – Willis Carrier was the inventor of “electromechanical cooling” which was originally intended for companies with products requiring climate control, such as printing, photography, and chemicals. This technology was eventually used for general business comfort, as well as in automobiles and homes. Carrier Engineering Corporation opened for business July 1, 1915, and just 18 days later booked its first contract with the American Ammunition Company in Paulsboro, New Jersey. Ten of the first 29 jobs Carrier Engineering Corporation fulfilled were for fuse -loading plants critical to the Allied war effort. The company's second job was an installation to cool the Masonic Temple in Philadelphia.
In the late 1860s, 31-year-old wheelwright George H.N. Luhrs immigrated to the States from Germany. After living for years in the booming gold mining center of Wickenburg, Luhrs in 1878 moved to the new hay-growing center to the southeast, a town called Phoenix. By 1884, he owned some of the most valuable real estate in the fledgling city, including the block where the Luhrs complex now sits on the southeast corner of First Avenue and Jefferson in downtown Phoenix. In 1887, Luhrs and his partner took over the Commercial Hotel, an inviting courtyardstyle building on the northeast corner of Central and Jefferson. (It later became the Luhrs Hotel.) The Luhrs name continues to be one of the leading family names in the development of Phoenix Arizona. The Patriarch George H.N. was the first Master Mason raised at Arizona Lodge #2 Free and Accepted Masons

Masonic Trivia Just north of Florence was located a huge prisoner of war camp for German and Italian detainees seized during the North Africa movement and called, “Camp Florence”. This World War II site was built in 1942-43 and is the biggest prisoner of war complex ever built on American land. Thousands of POW’s were held in this 5 acre compound which had a barracks, a hospital, a bakery, a swimming pool, athletic fields, and a few theaters. The men even earned money by performing different tasks within the camp. Camp Florence had around 13,000 prisoners by December of 1945. In 1946 it was deemed a "surplus" and in 1948 it became a state hospital and incarceration center for first time criminals. They moved most of the POW quarters to Queen Creek, AZ and used them for elementary schoolrooms. One however was purchased by Gila Valley No. 9 F & AM Masonic Lodgeand moved to a piece of property just south of Historic Downtown Florence, Arizona and has been used every since as their Lodge room!
The very first telephone in the territory of Arizona (prestatehood) was installed at Castle Hot Springs for Governor Nathan Oakes Murphy. The phone has been returned and will soon be reinstalled in the main Lodge. Brother Murphy was a long time member of Arizona Lodge #2 Free and Accepted Masons and was interred in the Masonic Cemetery, San Diego, California but reinterred at Rock Creek Cemetery (DC) in December 1909. Castle actually reopens this fall after having been a ghost town for over 40 years
The opera house became a cultural symbol in the late nineteenth-century West. Despite the fact that frontier audiences tended to be noisy and rowdy, at times forcing management to struggle to maintain a semblance of dignity, townspeople viewed their opera house as the community's crowning achievement, symbolic of civilization in its most exalted sense. Samuel Eason Patton was the architect who designed and managed the Phoenix Opera House located at 300 W. Washington while also beautifying Prescott, Arizona with designing the Hotel Burke (1891) and Patton's Opera House (1894) He was Master of Arizona Lodge #2 Free and Accepted Masons in 1884, a member of Arizona Chapter No. 1 R.A.M. and Grand Organist of Grand Lodge of Free & Accepted Masons in Arizona in 1890.

Masonic Education Wahtzit all about? On your entrance to Freemasonry you were shown two ashlars, one stone identified as a rough ashlar the other a more perfect ashlar. Masonry itself may also be considered an ashlar and you are to be the sculptor. In concert with your brothers you'll work to produce a work of art. A sculptor was asked how he managed to produce such beautiful work. He said, " When I look at a block of stone I see within it the figure I wish to release. I then just remove everything that isn't that figure." Unless you are just looking for something to fill a hole, any old stone may not be suitable for the job. Some stones are too soft for some jobs, others too brittle. Some may have flaws that may not be as evident unless carefully inspected. And so it is with our fraternity, any old man might not be suitable for membership, We do not recruit to fill holes. Aspiration is a critical consideration. We ask a potential candidate "Why do you want to join us?" We have to give some thought about those who are merely curious or because they say it might be good for business. In our interviews we are attempting to look inside that rough stone. All stone is not suitable for every job. Some stones are too small. Other stones may have cracks or other flaws. Some stone may display interesting colors or patterns while others may display significant strength characteristics. What I’m saying here is that if you are building something (of stone , or anything else for that matter) there is an inspection and selection process that precedes the actual construction. Every great sculptor of whom I’m aware has had apprentices and disciples. On a really large project, quit a few of them may have been assigned secondary jobs. Secondary does not mean unimportant in fact, these
secondary jobs, like scaffold building or even cleaning up and clearing out are essential for the safe completion of tasks. When I entered the U.S. Navy; one of the first tasks I was assigned was to roll my seabag. For those not in the know , it is a specific way to fold and stow your cloths by rolling and tying them with cord. After that drill your gear was laid out and displayed for inspection in a very specific manner What, pray tell, did that have to do with anything I was likely to do in the future (and what does that have to do with Freemasonry)? Was I being trained to be a laundress? No. it was to teach me to pay attention to detail and to see how well or ill I followed directions (in good humor). So it was then and so it is now In our life in the Masonic crafts. We are taught that all the timbers and stones were cut and worked off site then brought to the site for assembly. Allegorically, what occurred was a transfer of learning. (cont.)
Masonic Education (cont.) Today, the Lodge is the quarry where the work is done. The assembly is outside the lodge, in our daily life. That is where we display what we learn in the lodge. I’ve often talked about EDUCATION and INDOCTRINATION. The distinction I make between the two is this; Indoctrination is the what. Education is the why. Information comes in different flavors also. I use two words which may be unfamiliar but which I believe ubiquity describes our fraternity Exoteric and Esoteric. Think of the two words in relation to skeletons. An exoskeleton refers to the exterior or outside of animal like crabs or lobsters The Greek prefix Exo- means outside. The Greek prefix Eso- means inside or hidden. The human body requires an exoskeleton to give it form. So it is with Freemasonry, our ritual is both esoteric and exoteric there is the exoteric (the obvious) and the esoteric (the secret or hidden). To discover the esoteric one must often ASK. If what we are doing seems strange or just busy work, ASK WHY. Chances are the true message is at the esoteric level. The answer may require some digging but if it has lasted 300 years there must be a reason The structure of an arithmetic book is an example of education/indoctrination. . Memorizing your sums (! +2=3) and learning the multiplication tables is indoctrination. Learning to solve “story problems” Alice has 10 chickens If half the chickens lay an egg every day and the other half an egg every other day, how long must Alice wait to have two dozen eggs?*) This requires education. We are an educational organization. In the beginning of craft masonry ,lodges were the place to learn and practice the arts, sciences and crafts to build buildings. Today, using those principle taught in the craft lodges we learn to build our life. Education is a relational thing, a GESTALT. This is what education is supposed to be all about, The transfer of knowledge from one situation to another, from the text book and school, to life in the world, from the lodge room to the larger world.
