OF

A. F.

AND

A. M.

OF MISSOURI:

The sure, rapid and unerring tide of time has brought around another year in man's eventful history; and once more, through the Providence of God, we are permitted to assemble in annual communication, to review the labors of the past year, and to devise means whereby the heaven-born principles of our beloved Order may be more thoroughly inculcated, and our organization for good may be rendered more effective for the future. We have great reason for thankfulness, that, oppressed 88 we have been by a cruel civil war, for the past four years, 80 few of our brethren have fallen. We should be also grateful for the blessings bestowed on us by our heavenly Father, in his ever-watchful care of ourselves and families, and we should, with a contrite spirit, pray to Him who is the Author of every good and perfect gift for a continuation of his blessings. The great beauty of Free Masonry, my brethren, is its adaptation to the moral and social condition of man, no matter the country, creed or language. Free Masonry leads its vota:ries, by gentle and imperceptable steps, up the Masonic Hill, from the time the novitiate professed his belief and trust in God until the full truths of our teachings, like the glorious light

of the noonday sun, burst in all its refulgence on his astonished vision, pointing with the unerring finger of truth to a life beyond the dreamless regions of the grave, "where sin and sorrow, pain and death Are felt and feared no more."

My brethren, it is only by a firm belief in the grea.t truths . inculcated by our mysteries, and an honest and conscientious discharge of duty, that we can expect to be classed among the great and true of our Order, who have gone to "that undiscovered country from whose bourne no traveler returns." How pleasant are these annual gatherings of the Craft, and what pleasing memories do they call up. As the Israelites of old looked forward with the fondest expectations to the time when one of the great feasts of tbeir religion would call them to visit their beloved city, so do we look forward with feelings of pride and gratification to the time whenI we, too, will come up from our pleasant homes, our once beautiful villages, to cluster around the sacred altar of our beloved Order, and in humbleness of heart, and with contrite spirits, renew our covenants of brotherly regards, of kind feelings, of affectionate remembrances. Well and truly has it been said by the poet: "As the snnflower turns on her god when he sets The samo look which she turned when he rose,"

So do we, as Masons, fondly turn our faces to our "Grand East," and for a brief space throw off all worldly cares, and employ ourselves in the true work of the Order. My brethren, deeply and most sensibly impressed with the responsibility of the office which I hold through your partiality, I submit for your consideration a few tho'olghtsrelative to our present and future usefulness, together with a brief statement of my labors for the past year. It cannot be denied, that at no period of our organization in this State has Masonry been so popular. Hundreds, aye thousands,


12

GRAND LODGE OF A. F. A. MASONS

are seeking admission to Our inner temple, who, four years ago, never dreamed of becoming Masons. But now the rush is so great that our old and' cherished landmarks, like the levees on the lower Mississippi, are about to he swept away by the great pressure brought to bear upon them. Is there no power in the Grand o to stem this mighty tOlTent? I answer, there is; and I call upon you, my brethren, to devise some plan whereby this incesBent demand for masonic privileges may be, in some measure, checked. If you will examine the returns of the subordinate CEJ at this communication, you will find that the number of Masons made within the past year exceeds-largely exceeds-the number made in any previous year, even when all oar CEJ were at work. As aconsequence growing out of this whol~sale making of Masons is the little regard entertained for the lessons which Masonry ,teaches. Too many believe that, now that they are Masons, they may use the Order for their own selfish purposes; and it is with Borrow I say that this is a truth made evident to the most superficial observer. Is this, my brethren, the aim and object of Masonry? If so, I have learned its lessons in vain. It will be borne in mind that, during our present unfortunate and unhappy difficulties, a class of CE:J have been brought into existence, termed Army or lraveling CÂŁ:]. The Grand 0 of Missouri, believing that such C2J could be of no permanent good to the Craft, steadily discountenanced their formation, so far as her jurisdiction was concerned. I have watched the workings of these 'CÂŁ::J with no little concern and anxiety, so far as my limited opportunities would permit, and am convinced that the opposition of the Grand Cl was founded in wisdom, and is eminently right and proper. As many citizens of Missouri have no doubt been made in these CEJ, I aeem it my duty to call your attention to these facts, 80 that you may, in your deliberations, devise some plan whereby our subordinate C8:J may be governed in their intercourse with Masons Be made. I lea.I'n from the Grand Secretary that Washington 0, No.1,

Fayetteville, Arkansas, aftm- having ceased labor for nearly three years, revived itself wit}lout authority, and has been making :Masons of citizens of :Mis8ouri, some of whom had been rejected in CEJ in this jurisdiction. As the Grand Master or the Grand D of ArkanBaa cannot bEt notified of this palpable tiolation of law, I trust you will devise some measUrea for the protection and preservation of the Craft in this jqrisdiction, from being imposed upon by these men, and that the w:eU-eBtabliehed U8age. of this jurisdiction be enforced, viz.: not. to recognize thew, I have, during the past ye&r, issued my orders to the Grand Secretarj, to forward lettera of dispensation for the formation of the following CEJ, viz.: Rushville 0, Rushville, Buchanan county. Milton d, No. 151, Milton, Randolph county,wh08o cha.rter was destroyed by fire. Granville 0, Granville; ~{onroe county. Platte C ~ No. 56" Platte ~ity, Platw county,路 .wAose charter: was destroyed by tire. Spencersburg 0, Spencersburg, Pike county. Palestine 0, St. Charles, St. Charles county. Knob Noster 0, Knob Noster, Johnson county. Keystone O,St. Louis, St. Louis county. Middle Fabius 0, Middle Fabius, Scotland county, Maryville 0, No. 165, I\:laryville, Nodaway county, whose charter Was destroyed by fire. The fees, in all cases, for the formation of new t::e:J haYe been forwarded to the Grand Secretary, together 'With all the papers, Dimits, etc. Owing to the removal of the R. lV., Thomas B. Howe, to the city or St. Louis, and his resignation in con.equence thereof t I ordered a commission to issue to R. \V., Henderson Davis, to act in his stead unt!! this present communication. Immediately after the close of the Grand 0 in l\-lay last, commissions were issued to skillful brethren, to set the newly

chartered. CÂŁ.J to work under their respective charters, gn'mg all needful instruction to the ~Iasters after their installation, to enable them to govern their CEl. In the month of July last, at the especial request of Bro. J no. M. Burk, ~1. of Sturgeon 0 , No. 174, a special dispensation was granted, authorizing that 0 to elect a Secretary, the Secretary elect refusing to be installed. In the month of July last, I received a, communication from a member of Alto Vista 0, No. - , intorming me of the action of that 0 , wherein the W. Master, after a candidate had been duly rejected at a regular meeting, permitted the action of the 0 , reconsidered at a called meeting, which reconsideration resulted in the election and initiation of the candidate. Deeming such action on the part of a subordinate 0 as grossly violative of law and usage, I directed the R. 'V., J. E. Cadle, D. D. G. M., to visit Alto Vista 0 , and if the statement5 made in the letter addressed to me, and which I sent him, were found to be true, to arrest the charter, and take charge of the books, papers, money and other property belonging to the 0, and transmit the same to the Grand Secretary at his earliest convenience. Some ti me after the arrest of the charter, the members of the late Alto Vista 0, petitioned for a restoration of their charter, pledging themselves, if restored to their chartered privileges, never again to permit the slightest infraction of law or usage. But knowing. of no law which authorized the G. ~faster to restore a charter to a after the same had been arrested, I declined, believing the power to restore was vested in the Grand 0 and ~ot in the G. Master.

On the 23d day of August last, after a painful illness of only two hours, Bro. B. N. Crump, Treasurer of Hannibal 0 , No. 188; was summoned before the bar of God to r.ender his final account., thus adding additional evidence "that in the midst of life we are in death," and impressing most forcibly upon our minds the great truth, that we, too, are pressing rapidly to the tomb.

If>

Application was made to me for a dispensation, authorizing Hannibal 0 to till the vacancy thus occasioned by election, and, believing that the interest of that particular 0 would be materially Bubserved by so doing, I granted a dispensation for that purpose. . On the 29th day of August I received a communication fwm the Secretary of Seaman 0, No. 126, informing me that the W. Master of that 0 had removed from the State, and that the Wardens were unwilling to assume a discharge of the duties of W. Master, and that he had been instructed by the officers and members to ask for a dispensation, empowering them to elect a Master to fill the vacancy. Notwithstanding it has been, and is now, the custom, in the absence bf the Master, for the S. Warden to discharge the duties of Master, yet believing, as I religiously did, that if the 'Vardens were unwilling to comply with that part of their installation ceremony, which required of them, in the absence of the Master, a discharge of his duties, that the interest of that 0 in particular, and of the Craft in this jurisdiction, would be secured and subserved by ordering an election, I done so. It is now for you, my brethren, in your wisdom, to determine whether the circumstances justified my action. A large district of country, embracing the county of Lafayette, has been most fearfully visited by disturbing influences during the past year. In consequence of which, Dawson 0, No. - , which held its meetings in the town of 'Vellington, being unable to meet and work, voluntarily surrendered its charter, books, jewels, masonic carpets, etc., which, r hope, will be held by the Grand o until such time as that 0 call, with security, resume work; and that special provision be made for the restoration of the charter whenever the officers of that 0 are of opinion that they can v.-ark in security. ~10st of the members of that 0 are Craftsmen, "good and true "-the 'V. 1\hster, Bro. C. Ociborn, P. G.\Varden, has, for many long years, enjoyed the reputation of being one or the most faithful, zealous, efficient and skillful laborers in this Grand Jurisdiction.

Ll the month of September I received a. memorial from the Ma.ster, Wai'dens' and brethren of Athens 0, No. 127, asking to be reinstated under their old charter, which had been forfeited because of the disturbed state of the country. Believing it to be the desire of this ~rost Worshipful body to have all the chartered CEtJ revived in localities where the genuine principles of our Order could be pro~ulgated and propagated, I directed the W. Master to resume work, alldreport the action of his to the Grand 0 at its present Communication.

°

Some time in the month of October last I received a; communi· cation from the members of the late Chapman d, U. D., Fort Union, New Mexiev, in which they state, "That being young and inexperienced in the government of: a 0, they were led to believe, through the representations of older and much more experienced brothers, that they were· abiding faithfully by the requirements of the Grand 0, in all things done by them' as a 0; that, feeling they were in error, are now·rea.dy and willing, aye, anxious, to correct the irregnlarities which they unwittingly committed) and to abide by the requirements. and restrietions prescribed by the Grand 0, if allowed an extension of the dispensation under which they hltd beenworkillg." Application not being properly made for a. new dispensa.tion, and knowing that I was not vested with power to order a retamto them of the original di8pensa.ti~m, I would, in view of the circumstances surrounding them-·they being a flock withoutn. 'Shepherd, compelled to hang their heads in 8h~tme, through the fault (unintentional as they feel it ,,·as) of those whose experience should hayc warned them of the lesson which has been so dearlybought--respectfully suggest (if in the wisdom '0£ the Grand 0 it be deemed advisable) that the Grand Secretary be directed to transmit the original dispensation granted Chapman 0, U. D., to Bro. R. Frank Green, with instructions to set the brethren to work as soon as the Master' and W arden:~ are qualified) in his judgment, to discharge their several duties.

On the 11th day of NO\tember last I received a communication Robeson, Secretary of Milton 0, No. 151, infrom Bro. forming me that their hall, together with their charter and othel' property, waS destroyed hy fire, and requesting a dispensation authorizing them to meet and work until the present meeting of the G. d-they having secured a convenient, safe and comfortahle room in which to hold their meetings-I therefore directed the Grand Secretary to issue a dispensation to D. Proctor, lV. M., Eli Owens, S. W., and A. J. Featherston, J. W. And I now earnestly recommend that a duplicate charter be immediately ordered for Milton 0, No. 151, and in consideration of their severe pecuniary affliction that the dues of that 0 for the past. year be remitted.

In December last I visited Lafayette 0, No. 32, to contribute an humble part in the conferring of degr~es. I found a most unfortun:ate and deplorable feeling existing in consequence of a difference of political opinions; members of the Craft of one political party would not meet, nor affiliate with, members who differed with them in opinion; in fact the estrangement was so great that they refused to speak to each other on the streets. In view of the unfortunate difficulties existing, I directed the Secretary to peremptorily summon every craftsman who had not been legally suspended or expelled, living in the county of Lafayette, to meet me ln Lafayette 0 room, on the third Saturday in. January. And, although the weather was very inclement, a snow storm raging, the 0 room was fined, many of whom then present had not visited a 0 for three years. In my humble efforts to restore peace and harmony, I was most ably and efficiently seconded and sustained by Past G. ~I. Ryland, to whom, for his noble and praiseworthy efforts to bring about a perfect reconciliation and general good feeling among the Craft, I return my most sinc'ere and heartfelt thanks. The result of the labors of that evening was, to, use the language of" a distinguished brother present, "a regular oldfashioned Masonic love feast;" each brother plighting his faith B

anew, over our sacred altar, to live in future as a society or band of friends and brothers, "amongst whom no contention should el'er arise except that noble contention, or rather emulation, of who can best work and beEt agree." However much we may differ out8ide the CJ room, in our religious, political, or other views, upon assembling there, within the 8acred precincts of our 0, our feelings should all be merged into the objects of Masonry. It matters not with us whether a man is Jew or Greek, American or German, Aristocrat or Plebian, Democrat or Republican, the moment he enters the 0, as a Master Mason, that moment he is equal; all are on a level, and the only strife or emulation ever allowed is, " who can best work and agree." The ties of brotherhood are for life, and each member feels, or ilhould feel, no common intercst in the advancement and perfection of his brother in Masonic light and knowledge. In December last 1 received a communication from R. W., Martin Collins, Jr. G. Warden, informing me that Occidental 0, No. 163, had sccured, furnished and decorated a new hall, at the corner of Seventeenth and Market streeta,in which to hold their meetings, inviting me to be present, at such time as would suit my convenience, to pt rform the ceremony of dedication and consecration, 80 that it could be legally used for Masonic purposes, and that everything should be done in order, and these rites performed with every fitting solemnity and in due and ample form. I authorized Bro. Collins, in the event I could not be present, to open the Grand 0 of Missouri, on the 27th day of December, and preside at the ceremony of dedication and consecration, specially prohibiting the performance of any act of legislation, whilst the Gra.nd 0 was open 1 w~ich "lIld in the slightest degree affect the general interest of the Craft, or that of any particular 0 in this jurisdiction.

over, and an able and eloquent address was delivered by Bro. O'Sullivan, and the officers of several of the city C€::J installed, the Grand CJwas closed in due form. On the 27th day of December I addressed a. letter to the Worshipful Master of Wakanda 0, No. 52, directing him to discontinue the meetings of his 0 until the fourth Monday in May, unless sooner dirccted to resumc. The reason influencing me was the insecurity attending their labors, in consequence of the military occupation of their hall, as well as the church room below. Bro. Drake, the W. M., well known to many members of the Grand 0 as an intelligent and zealous Craftsman, expressed himself, in a communication I received, as being gratified, indeed, that I had directed the closing, temporarily, of his O. On the 24th day of January I received a communication from Bro. Smith, Secretary of Platte 0, No. 56, informing me of the destruction of their hall, together with their charter, furniture, etc., by fire, :and requesting a dispensatiQn authorizing them to meet and work until the meeting of the Grand D. I granted the dispensation; and I now earnestly recommend that a duplicate charter be immediately granted, and the dues for the past year be remitted. During the past year a unmber of a.pplications have been presented to me by subordinate C€J, asking the privilege of conferring the degrees of symbolic Masonry in a less time than the laws 'Of the Grand 0 prescribe. ~rsons desirous of removing from one State to another, or traveling westward to the Territories, who, in all probability, have lived for years within sight of a 0 room, being suddenly prompted by a "sincere desire of being serviceable to their £ellow·creatures," present themselves as candidates for the mysteries of l\1asonry, and earnestly ask, in consideration of the fact that they are willing to receive the degrees and register their names ae members of the mystic brotherhood, thereby elevating the stand~l1'd of

:l\lasonry in the scale of excellence and merit, that the laws and usages of the Grand c:::J should be declared suspendetl and inoperative, in order that they-" good fellowi "--should be entered, passed and raised in the short space of one week. In every instance I have decided adverscly to the prayer of the petitioners. In February last I received a communication from Bto. G. \V. Smith, Secretary of Platte c:::J, No. 56,. complaining of the action of Rising Sun 0, No. 13, in receiving to membership Bro. G. L. Moad, a member~ without his having dimitted from Platte 0. I immediately responded to the complaint, directing Bro. Smith to inform rrJ. Moad that, notwithstanding the action of R.ising Sun 0, he (Moad) was still a membe}' of Platte O. His admission to membership in Rising Sun 0, being in direct violation or law and usage, was declared invalid,- nnlI and void. The law of the Grand t:J defining the duties of D. D. G', Musters is very defective, so much 80 that, under it3 restrictions, those officers are rendered powerless for the accomplishment 0'ÂŁ good; and I respectfully s-nggest that such alterations of, or amendments to, the law be made as will enable them to exercise, in some degree, a supervisory control over the Câ‚ŹJ in their respective districts. Very few of the D. D.'s can afford to spend time and means without remuneration; nor do they feel at liberty, under the law, to visit CEJ and giv'e instructions unless invited, modesty dictating that they should not thrust themselves on the Craft. I earnestly hope that some efficient means may be adopted for the stead)' and r~gular diffusion of light and knowledge. Comparatively but few C@J have complied with resolution of Grand 0 of 18fH, requiring that one dollar' (collected of each ca,ndidate), for each degree, be set apart as a speci.al fund for the education of orphans; and but feW' haV'eany regular s)"stem of raising charity funds.

Grand· Masters" nearly all of whom, from the abundance of guerrillas, and the consequent interruption of travel, have been prevented from visiting many C€J in their districts; the records 'of nearly every 0 visited exhibits an amount of work hitherto unprecedented, and grave apprehensions are entertained by these steadfast and long-tried friends of the Institution as to the cause and future effects of such an influx of candidates. Our official connection having drawn to a close, I take this opportunity to return to them my most sincere thanks and the gratitude of my heart for their uniform kindness, confidence and respect, earnestly and devoutly praying that many, very many, long years of peace, happiness and prosperity ml\Y attend them in the future. :Most sincerely do I regret. the necessity which admonishes me to call the attention of the Craft to the fact that some of our beloved brethren are indnlging too freel)! in the use of ardent spirits, and, consequently, losing sight of an observance of the first great cardinal virtue of the Institution. It will be borne in mind that it was in the midst of his drunken 'l,nd bacchanalian revels-his midnight and unhallowed orgies-that the proud, haughty and impious Belshazzar Saw the finger of Omnipotence tracing upon the wall his destiny and his doom. 'Vhen Alexander, thB conqueror of the world, had finished his proud and eventful career-after overrunning the earth with his triumphs and his victories, subduing nations, kingdoms and empires, and bringing the world into subjection to his control and ambition-he, at last, became the conquered captive of the debauchee's revelry and the goblet of the drunkard. Wha.t the opposing energies of all mankind could not do-after years of toil, stratagem and bloodshed-was con'lummated by one night of drunken debauch and disgusting dissipation. I do not intend to sketch off a list of the great names which stand recorded upon the ~croll of fame as having ended their earthly career by plunging themselv~s. from the lofty a.nd enviable summit of man's proudest and highest

hopes down to the drunkard's revels or the bacchanal's carnival. I do not intcnd to raise the curtain that hides from our vision the tablct upon which is inscribed the catalogue of great names that h:1Ye ruled and reigned over their fellow men, and at last fell, like the fallen angel, never more to rise. But were this done, the picture itself 'would startle the Craft into conviction of the dire turpitude of intemperance, and prove k all, that place, nor character, nor dominion, is any safeguard against the havoc and desolation of its indulgence, either upon the throne, in the forum, in the halls of legislation, in the midst of the social circle, or around the family altar.

Huw, then, my brethren, shall we bring within the scope of our wildest fancy the unnumbered hosts who, beside the array of great narpcs, have been temp~ed to enlist in the cause of intemperance, of whose history we have no r :cord, save only as we tind a few registered as the inmates of the asylum, as the laborers of the penitentiary, or as the victJms of the gallows? In the midst of- this -listed recora-of -the drunka~d's fate, his fortune and his fame, who can ten the beggared millions it blings in its train-of children pa.uperized ; of mothers phrenized or brokeIl-he~rted; of friends and relatives all bending beneath the accumulated wrongs hea.ped upon their character anu their feelings by the waywaruncss and obliquity of the inexorable sot? 'Vhen the memorials of the drunkard's career becomes stamped npnn his frontlet, his place is fixed, his destiny sealed: mankind places him among the brothels of filth and sinks of iniquity; nature fixes his location beneath the brutes of the field; and hea.ven seals his biography in the doom of the damneu. To witne~s the only be~lll(. that God ever crea.ted in his own image thus violating all the purposes of his creation; bursting asunder (\11 the ties that bind him to either God or man; mocking the right constl'uction of SOCiety, and, with phrenzied ma.lignity, revelling in the accursed orgies that would dethrone Jehovah and obliterate the univel'se-to witness all these is enough to Sh~ln1C

Upon the altar of this bloated and polluted curse of our race, the victim and the votary of its oblation. offers up ease, truth, peace, integrity, friendship, benevolence, and all the tender sympathies of life, that they may drink decp of the fountain, the deadly poison of which is concentrated in the bitterness of woe. I am gratified to bear humble testimony to the fact, that, in the great city of St. Louis, there are but few, indeed, of the mystic brotherhood who lose sight <if" the great cardinal virtues of our Order, the first of which is temperance. Charges of such a character were filed with me against the ,V :Master of Missouri 0 , No.1, as required the pcrformance, on my part, of the most painful duty ever devolving upon a Grand l\Iaster, viz.: suspending him from the functions of his office as W. :Mastcr. I, upon receipt of the charges, addressed a communication to that brother, bearing date 8th May, suspending him from officc: {' ,nishing to him an attested copy of the charges and specifications. I also dilectcd Bro. Geo. Frank Gouley, the S. 'V. of Missouri 0, to tal,e charge of the charter and effects of said 0 , and discharge the duties of Maskr until the Grand should determine the guilt or innocence of the accused, or otherwise order. There is a practice, fraught with much evil to Masonry, gradually growing upon us in this jurisdiction, and, Ulllc:3s promptly checked, will work much injury to our beloved OrderI .allude to the solicitation of :Masons to induce profanes to Disguise this become members of the masonic fraternity. humiliating sulJject as much as possible, the fact is apparent.

the effect of lowering the dignity of Masonry in the minds of all intelligent men. Free Masonry should be sought after by the good and true. Its votaries should never seek to induce any man, however exalted, to enroll himsCIf among us. He must come of his own free will and accord, "unbiased by friends and uninfluenced by mercenary motives." This is, you well know, a solemn declaration, and should be made in all truth and soberness. If Masons rightly understood and correctly appreciated the teachings of the Order, they would not be guilty of such conduct; but, unhappily, at the present day, there are too many among us who, desiring to use Masonry for the advancement of th~~.t: own personal interests, will seek to induce men of real, or supposed, influence to enter the Order, so that they may use them for their own selfish purposes. Brethren, this should not be; and I hope this allusion to the practice will be sufficient to induce Masons not to be guilty of such indiscretion in the future. I feel it to be my duty, on this occasion, to call your attention to the Charity'Fund of the Grand D. I am deeply solicitous that it should be husbanded with care, and that such additions be made to it, from time to time, as the revenue of the Grand 0 will permit. I foresee the time, and that not far distant, when the Grand 0, ano its subordinates, will be called upon to discharge one of the most important duties devolving upon them-namely, the dispensing of charity. fMany, very many, of our brethren from both armies will soon return to' their homes, maimed, decrepid, deprived of all means of support. To whum will they most naturally turn for assistance, if not to their brethren; and their appeal must not be in vain. We must be prepared to meet all just demands made upon .us by the exercise of an active and judicious sympathy. OUf brethren must be made to feel that our charity is not confined to any particular class, but that all good and true Masons are alike entitled to our regards; that true ~Iasonry is as universal as civilization~ and tha~ a brother in distress, no matter his country, or his political

relations, will find a helping hand from his brethren, so far as truth and justice may sanction. Brethren of the Grand 0 of :Missouri, how true it is, " that in the midst of life we are in death." "A great man has fallen in Israel." The Chief Magistrate of this mighty nation has fallennot upon the battle field, amid the thunder of hostile cannon, the clashing of the sword and bayonet, and the discharge of deathdealing musketry, but by the hand of an assassin-his work unfinished, and his kind and genial nature extinguished forever. Is there a crime "beneath the rouf of heaven that stains the soul of man with more infernal hue than damn'd assassination?" 'Who can forsee the consequences of this cruel and most dastardly act? When Peace, descending with "healing on its wings," was about to enfold this bleeding country in its angelic embrace, a demon from hell, in the likeness of a human being, by one fell blow shattered the hopes and expectations of nearly thirty l(Jillions of freemen, and for a time left them in despair. But the Republic still lives; lives in all that constitutes freedom under and by virtue of law; lives in the affection of a free people, purified by much suffering; lives in the hopes, the aspirations and yearning of the hearts of the millions of the downtrodden of every clime, country, language and religion; lives, and will live, until the Archangel of God shall pronounce, in trumpet tones, that time shall be no more, untll, "Wrapt in flames, the real ms of eather glow," "And heaven's last thunder shakes the '\\-orId below."

My brethren of Missouri, what are our duties at this time, and the time which is coming? We are obliged to be true and faithful to the Government of the country where we reside. 'Ve are not to be concerned in plots 01' conspiracies, but patiently submit to the constituted authorities. There are other uuties devolving upon us which we cannot set aside without detriment to the teachings of Masonry, and to which I would call your mos,t serious attention.

The prospect of a substantial and permanent peace becomes brighter every day, and it is not too much to say that in a few months at fUi'thest, "swords will be beat into ploughshares and spears into pruning hooks." \Yhell tris great blessing is bestowed on us, many, very many, of our absent brethren, whom we used to greet in former times, will return to Missouri, broken in health and spirit, it may be utterly destitute, and scarcely able, from the wreck of their remaining property, to sustain tbemselves and fal~ilies, if they satisfy the requirements of the civil law. If they are permitted, by legal authority, to drag out a few short months or years in view of the graves of all most dear to them, and of their desolate hearths,. do not, I entreat you, my brethren, add to their misery by failing to recognize them as brethren. Remember that none of us are free from faults, moral, social or political, and, remembering this, let us bear with the infirmities of our erring brethren, pardon their errors, and be kind and considerate to them; remember that a cup of cold water given in a kind and forgiving spirit, a gentle word fitly spoken, will fall upon the human heart like music wafted over a calm and placid lake~ on a bright summer's eve, and will revive all the generous emotions and noble aspirations of former years. Then, my brothers, let us do unto our returning brethren all kind an4 affectionate acts as become Masons, and make them feel, if they never felt before, that the mysterious chain of Masonry, though tried in a thrice-heated furnace, is as strong and enduring as the immutable laws of truth and justice. I cannot close this address without. returning my most sincere and heartfelt acknowledgements to R. W. A. O'Sullivan,'" the keystone of the arch of Masonry in this grand jurisdiction," for his uniform kindness and courtesy to me during the past 'year, for the faithful and satisfactory manner in which he has discharged the onerous and responsible duties of Grand Secretary, for the promptness with which he has answered my every letter of inquiry, and for the valuable information given upon vexed questions of

masonic law and jurisprudence. Permit me to assure 'you, my venerable, beloved brother, that I feel all those emotions of gratitude which your affectionate, kind, fraternal and fatherly advice, counsel and admonition are calculated to inspire: And I earnestly and devoutly pray Almighty God, that when your light shall be no more visible in this earthly temple, when JOu shall have been summoned to take up your line of march through the dark and turbid waters of Jordan into the dreamless regions of the dead, that your pathway may be illuminated by the benignant smile of a reconciled Savior, and you raised triumphantly, through " the merits of the Lion of the tribe of Judah," to the all perfect o above, where the Grand Master of heaven and earth presides, and receive the refreshment your labors" in this work of patience and labor of love" have so richly merited. Allow me, in conclusion, to quote that beautiful psalm so familiar to all craftsmen, and which is supposed to represent the pfiests and Levites returning from captivity, and united in the service of God in the sanctuary: " Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity." " It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that rnns down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard, that went down to the skirts of his g:.Lrments ; as the dew of Hermon, the dew that descended upon the mountain of Zion, for there the Lord commanded his blessing, even life forever more." Praying that your labors may meet with the approval of the Grand Master of the Universe, and that good feeling will characterize your deliberations, I fraterna.lly submit this, my address.

,GRAND LODGE OF A. F. A. MASONS

On the 24th day of June, 1864, by request of sundry brethren, I visited Ionic 0, No. 235, which had been recently chartered. I called together all the brethren of said 0, opened the same and dl,lly installed the officers named in the C/mrter, and ordered an election under the same for the masonic year. Assisted by a corps of distinguished brethren, among whom was P. G. M. John Ralls, I proceeded to consecrate and dedicate the and install their officers in the presence of a'large and interesting audience. Addresses were delivered by Bro. R. E. Anderson and myself on the principles of our noble fraternity.

Ionic 0, No. 235, is centrally situated ina most excellent part of this jurisdiction, surrounded by everything to advance the interests of Masonry. The is in safe hands, being presided over by that vigilant and veteran Mason, Bro. Joseph Rowe. The has as much moral character as any in the State. The brethren are excec.dingly careful in guarding the temple-gates of Masonry, and no material is worked up except such as is

genuine~

During the past winter I visited, officially, and was received with honor according to my rank, St. John's 0, No. 28, in the city of Hannibal. Said 0 is doing work enough, and doing it well. No'O in the State has undergone more itnprovement in the last few years than St. John's, No. 28. That longtried and faithful worker in Masonry, James McDaniel, is at the head of this 0, and watches, with patient vigilance, the welfare of the Craft. Hannibal 0, No. 187, is in a most healthy and prosperous condition. The members of said 0 use the black ball unsparingly, yet most judiciously. This 0, which, for three years, was in a languishing state in every respect, is now vigorous, healthy and happy. Dr. Duffield, the ardent Mason and accomplished gentleman, is ,"V. M., and guards carefully the interests of the fraternity. I refer with pleasure to the improved condition of the 0 financially. Two years ago the 0 was in debt and

I have, during the past year, visited Palmyra 0, No. 18, though not officially. I need not say of this old and efficient 0 that it stands unsurpassed amoeg the Cfu of the State, with that prince of Masters at its head, Bro. R. E. ArrdersoL. Two LeJ, U.

The undersigned, being appointed as D. D. G. ~I. for the First :Masonic District, respectfully presents the following report: On the 17th day of June, 1804, I met with Bloomington 0, No. 102; installed their officers and e~emplified the work in the third degree. On the 18th day of June, °1864, I met with McGee 0, No. 145; installed their officers, and set them to work under their restored charter; exemplified the work in the first and third degrees. Shortly a.fter they failed'to meet, and ha.ve agam forfeited their Charter.; all owing to the difficulties in the country. And I am sorry to state that some of the members were foremost in getting up the difficulties in the D. On the 24th day of June, 1864, I met the brethren of Bucklin 0; Installed their officers, dedicated their Hall. and set them to work under a Charter granted them at the last session of the Grand D. They'j,ave built a splendid hall and have it tastefully fitted up, and bid fair to be a good-, working and harmonious O.

On the 27th day of June, 1864, I met the brethren of La Plata' 0, No. 237; installed their officers, and set them to work under a Charter granted them at the la-gt session of the Grand D. They, like a good many before them, have showed too strong a desire to make Masons; consequently have worked up some very chaffy material, and finally some designing one stole their Charter. On the 30th day of June, 1864, I met the brethren of Kirksville D., No. 105; installed their officers under a Charter granted them at the last session of the Grand O. Many of the members who were thrown out of the old D when their Charter wa-g arrested, came forward and presented themselves for membership in the new D, when, after complying with the requirements of the Grand 0, they were admitted. The D appears to have purged itself of its imFure blood, and will now exercise a healthful and beneficial influence in that community. Owing to the unsettled state of the country, and difficulties arising over 'which I had no control, aIJ.d believing then as I believe now that Ma-gonry did not compel or require me to risk my life in the open field before a vastly superior force of the enemy, I felt warranted and justified in' abandoning the field; 80, on the 6th day of July, 1864, I left the bounds of the District and have not been in it since. In your M. E. judgment, the business of the District required the attention of some one; you appointed R. 'V. H. Davis to fill the honorable position abandoned by myself, in which appointment I most heartily con~t;rred. All of which is most respectfully and fraternally submitted, T. B. HOWE,

the months of bad roads In the country, and the mails consequently irregular, I have had a poor opportunity to ascertain the working condition of our ancient and honorable Order. What information I have has been derived by 9orresponding with the different l:ÂŁJ ; in some instances I have prompt and satisfactory answers, and in some none at all. . Ihave visited some of the C@J inLewis county, and the Craft was never so prosperous and harmonious as now. Wyaconda, Canton, 1vlonticello and LaBell C@J are all doing a large amount of work and on the best material. In Marion county the same may be said. In Clark county political disentions have killed all the chartered CEJ, and, after arresting Alexandria 0 , No. 69, there is not a chartered 0 in that county. I will forward their charter, etc., in a few days. In Scotland county there is but little doing to keep the spirit of Masonry alive, except in Memphis 0, No. 16; this [J is alive an~ prosperous. The same may be said of Schuyler county, but the work confined to I . ancas tel' 0 , No. 59 ; and the brethren cry aloud for masonic knowledge, having lost their best working material. Bro. Thos. E. Shepherd was going to that county on business, I deputed him to call and instruct them. From Putnam county 1 have a good report. From Sullivan county I have a favorable report, the principal being confined to Seaman 0, No. sa)'s: We keep whisky and 126. Tae Secretary of this politics out of its precincts, and harmony is the result. ('Vould to God others would imitate.) From Jackson 0, No. 82, Linn county, I have a favorable report. Cypress 0, No. 227, still retains its charter, but doing no work. In Macon and Shelby counties the Craft is harmonious and prosperous. These counties have fine working material, and are fully imbued with masonic zeal. In Adair county, Kirkville 0 , No. 105, is doing well-the only 0 in Adair county. Colony 0, No. 168, is the only working 0 in Knox county. Bro.

I find this 0 has, during the last year, r~lected six applicants, which shows the ballot-box is well guarded, the neglect of which is too common, especially in new CEJ, where they are generally too anxious for tnernbers. And here, M. W. G. M., allow me to say our Cfb ought to 路be instructed on this subject. The masonic is a peculiar institution~ and one of its beauties is its exclusiveness; and to become common is to lose much of its beauty. We ought to have less desire ror members and more for material. I find nearly all the difficulty and, lukewarmness in the different eej result from allowing political prejudice to rule the hour. I have, as far as possible, rebllkp.d the argUluent of some supe1'lalively loyal brethren, that if a h"f)t,ner is charged with disloy~l feelings, he i~ not entitled to their masonic esteem. In some instances they quote ~路S follows: "A ~:f:tson is to be loyal; he is not tv countf'nallCe disloyalty or rebeliion." They do not read all of that ancient charge; they do not understand the law and masonic usage; and many have not the opport-unity to inform themselves. I therefore suggest that a letter, in circular form, be adJr~ssed to every 0 in the State, containing tile ancient charges on this subject, and ordered read in the 0 and to every brothel'. This difficulty exists at Edina c::J, and the G. L., at the ensuing communication, ought, in. some way, to rebuke the spirit, and inform the Craft of their duty in unmistakable langnage. An institution that h&S stood aloof from political and religious strifes; that has rode :L~lUmphantly over the waves and billows of time (while all other hUIDo,n institutions have perished with their folly), and flu\\' stands a proud monument of its own antiquity, ought not, must O<"w, all~w politics to enter its portals and mar its beauty.

Dear Sir and Brother.: I have the honor of presenting herewith a report of my official acts during the past year. It is necessarily brief. The duties of the office being limited, and subject to the requirements of the [€J, and but few calls haying been made upon me by them, I have been relieved of the responsibility of giving advice, either good or bad.

GRAND LODGE OF A. F. A. MASONS

I have beon required to visit, officially, but two Cf!J in thiR county, which are these: Naphtali 0, No. 25, it gives me pleasure to report, if'! in good condition, records well kept, doing a fair share of work, and adhcring strictly to the ancient landmarks. On the 25th day of June I visited and installed the officers elect of Good Hope 0, No. 218, at Carondelet. rrhis is a floul'ishing in our sister city; and the zeal manifested by its officers and members will ·soon plaee it in the front rank in work, if not in numbers, with our city Cf!J,

°

At their request, I alRo installed the officers elect of Naphtali No. 25, and Pride of tho West 0, No. 179, for the present year. 0,

I have to regret that the abundance of guerrillas, and consequent interruption of travel in the southern counties of this district, prevented me, at the time, from complying with the invitations extended to me by the CE:J there to visit and assist thcm in their work; and when these obstacles were removed my business occupation would not permit my absence from the city. Your own permanent residence in the city, and conseqnent visits to the C€:J here, renders any further action or report, on my part, superfluous. The records of the C£J will, no doubt, exhibit an amount of work hitherto unprecedented; and grave apprehensions are entertainod by many steadfast and long·tried friends of the Institution as to the cause and future effects of such an influx of candidates. With such a pressure from without, there is a rapid a(t-vancement from one degree to another, and a crowding of work into the short space of time usually allotted fOl' meetings, that would seem to preclude the idea of a proper understanding of the tea<:hings and pl'inciples of our Order; but the profi<:ieucy required by the By-Laws of the Grand 0 is always thoroughly tested, and the number of bright and zealous workers is steadily increasing. There is an undue prominence given by many incautious

It is only necessary to call their Ilttention to it. A few words, in conclusion, with regard to the extent of this 1istrict. If a D. D. G. M. should be reqaired by law, 8S formerly, to visit each 0 in hi~. district at least once during the year, this district, &8 now laid out, contains 80 many CE::J that it would be physically impossible for -one person to, discharge its duties. This city and county alone contains C拢J, and does work enough, to require- all the attention that one person ~ould. and should,. devote t,,, such dQties. Yours, respectfully and fraternally,

a flourishing condition. The brethren have lately purchased a new and commodious hall. Pacific 0, No. 159, is in a prosperous condition, and careful . of admitting inferior material. The Secretary, Bro. John E. York, is an excellent officer, and to hi8 zeal the CJ i8 mainly indebted for its prosperity. Et. Jame8 0, No. 230, is doing well and admits none but those worthy. The work is good and the record well kept. I understand Lebanon 0, No. 77, maintains its good standing and is prospering, being quite prolific of work and having a large number of good members. . Of Hermann, CJhamQis and Evergreen CE:J I know nothing, not having been required to visit them, and having had no opportunity of acquiring any information. L~'nn 0,

No. 66, I am informed, is doing well. Several months ago, I received information which I deemed reliable, of that 0 having entertained a resolution of a political bearing. I wrote to the W. Master on the subject, requesting him to send me a transcript of the proceeding! of the ¡0, which he failed or refused to do. Presuming that the information received is based on facts, I respectfully suggest that the W. Master and members favoring the proceedings are subjects for masonic disciplino. I am 80rry to say that Evening Star 0, .1.'0. 94, has not been progressing favorably in every respect. In the work there is room for improvement, and among the members some defective material. There is manifestly a lack of energy, or, what is more probable, of industry. I learn, however, that a morc favorable condition of affairs is anticipated. On the whole, Masonry is not deteriorating in this district; on the contrary I believe the cause is improving- In the Câ‚Ź:J visited there is a marked desire for correct knowledge of the ritual and a laudable ambition to excel. Before concluding., I would most respectfully urge a change, or at least some modification, in the law or system under which the D. D. G. Masters act. The law is, in my <)pinion, defective

February 8th, 1865, I visited Otterville 0 , and witnessed the confering of the three degrees. It is only necessary for me to add that M. W. P. G. M. Saunders is the prest:nt Master to convince you that the Wdrk is all right, and tlie' Cl in a prosperou8 c<mditton. I was met here by th~ Master and se'ter~l brethren of Potter 0, who rode on horseback a distance of some twenty-hve miles to mp,et me. Potter cJ being situated some distance in the interior, and away trom rallroad communicaiion, I have been unable to visit the brethren, but can speak well for their zeal in the great cause of ~lasonry. A8 evidence I refer t9 their ]"ide of twenty-tive miles through a dangerous region, on a cold, stormy day, in order to meet me and learn the work. Kansas City 0 inquired of me concerning what I considered a very irregular practice. The Master informed me that he had ordered the ballots spread on the petitions of three candidates for some degree (I think the second), and declared .them all elected on one ballot. Some visiting brethren refused to assist in confer路 ing the degrees, as they considered - the candidates not legaJly elected-hence the Master applied to me. answered him that the visiting brethren were right-that every man stood in Ids relatio.l to Masonry on his own foundation, and must be judged on his own merits. I ordered the Master to have the ballots spread separately on each petition, and not to confer the degrees on any set of candidates who bad been elected in a. ,lump. I will only say of California 0, No. 183 (to which I belong),

tha.t it is in a. prosperous condition; that peace and harmony prevail, and no quarrels or backbitings exist among us. Masonry throughout my district is in a prosperous condition.

THE MOST

W OBSHIPI'UL

GRAND D

OF MISSOURI:

The committee to whom was referred the address of the Most Worshipful Grand Master would respectfully rel)ort that they examined with much care and interest certain portions of it. We would earnestly commend to your consideration his remarks upon the· over anxiety manifested by CE::l to add to their mltterial, and thus introducing abuses and confusion into the Craft. One of the means of accomplishing this being the soliciting by members of persons to allow themselves to be proposed as candiaates, a practice without precedent in our Institution, and which, if continued, must bring it into disrepute, ifnot actual ruin. We would respectfully recommend that the Grand 0 advise the subordinate e::e:J to exercise more care over this point in the future, so that the ancient landmarks, which are our bulwarks, may be kept intact. Your committee agree with the M. W. G. Master in denying authority to establish army or traveling C€J, as opening wide the fields for the abuse of masonic privileges, and would recommend the adoption of the two following resolutions:


56

GRAND LODGE OF A. F. A. MASONS

. Resolved, 1st, That all persons who have been initiated, IJassed and raised, in such army or traveling CEJ, be regarded and treated 3S illegal or clandestinc ~Iusons within this jurisdiction. Resolved, 2d, ~'hat whilst thc Grand 0 of Mo. depreciate the conduct of those Masons, who have viola.ted the ancient usages of the Craft in thus conferring the degrees, as they believe, irregularly and illegally, yet they are willing to extend theil' charity to such as innocently received them, and would recommend all of those informally made, if they desire future masonic intercoursc, that. they petition at the earliest possible moment the nearest regular 0 nnder whose jurisdiction thcy are residing, and obtain a legitimate interest, if found worthy. in our rights, lights and benefits.

Your committee would refer such portion of the addrcss as pertains to r.::eJ recently chartered or under dispensation to the Committee on Chartered t:e::J. Your committee fully indorse the action of the M. W. u. M., in arresting the charter of Alto Vista 0, for a violation of the cODstitution in reconsidering by the W. M. and brethren the rejection.of a candidate at a regular stated mej}ting, and electing him at a called meeting of the 0, and would recommend the question of restoration of the charter to the Committee on Chartered l::fb. Your committee would respectfully disset;lt from the action of the M. W. G. Master in allowing Seaman 0, No. 126, by dispensation, to hold an electio~ for a new Ma8ter, because of the removal of the W. M. from the State and the refusal of the Wardens to qualify themselves and act, as a precedent opposed to the ancient landmarks, believing that an officer can not voluntarily vacate his station after installation; and that the refusal of the Wardens to preside in the absence of the W. M. would have justified the M. W. Grand :Master in arresting the charter of said 0, cel路tainly not in electing a Dew W. M., the term of the other not having expired, and he not removed for cause or by death. Your committee approvf' the remarks ofM. W. Grand Master


57

OF THE STATE OF MISSOURI.

when speaking of our unhappy political and social disruptiou, and agree with him believing it to be the duty of all good Masons to discard such feelings and know no contention except of" who can best work and best agree." Those portions attending to the application by e:::eJ for relief, because of losses sustained by fire or other causes, we would respectfully refer to the Committee on Charity. We cordially indorse the action of the 1\1. W. Grand lUaster in refusing e:::eJ the privilege of conferring degrees in less tha n the legitimate periods, believing such action of C拢J to be hasty and liable to bring, thereby, disrepute on our time-honored Institution. The recommendation for better defining the powers of D. D. Grand Masters will doubtless receive a proper consideration from the Grand 0 in the revision of the c.~nstitutlOn. The remarks of the M. W. G. Master upon tho cultivation of temperance-it being one of our cardinal virtues-commends itself to the favorable consideration of all good Masons, wherever dispersed; and it well behooves all who love Masonry-the highest system known next to Christianity for the elevation and reclammation of erring humanity-to keep constant guard over their passions, so that they exemplify those beautiful virtues which it has always been our highest pride to teach and practice.

a

Your committee have thus briefly touched upon 路those points of the M. W. Grand Master's addrcss which seemed to merit a consideration by our M. W. Grand Body, and would recommend the printing Qf the same in the Annual Report. May 24th, 1865.

Second-To compare and correct whatever errors may have crept into our ritual during the past twenty years. Third-To consider and suggest a uniform remedy for the evils arising from the untimely and inordinate haste with which thousands, in the excitement of the hour, have been admitted into the Fraternity, and to fix the- status of all who have been thus admitted, that entire union and harmony may prevail throughout the length and breadth of all jurisdictions ~ and., as. far aft

The Grand D assembled in the city of '1'opeka., December 20, 1864; 20 CE:J represenred. The address of Grand MetSter Saqui is thoroughly masonic, and wcrthy of 8. careful perusaL Some of its passages are really eloquent. Witness the following: "There is room within the pale of Masonry for the exercise of the loftiest aspirations, the highest genius, and the most extensive and varied acquirements, as many of our brethren, even of the present day, abundantly prove. We ought, therefore, to underetand and appreciate Masonry as an institution '\l'hich has, during the long ages of the !>Qst, conferred incalculable benefits upon our race, and which, in our own day, has lost none of its u.sefulnesEl and worth, except what our want of zeal and neglect of duty have taken from it." Bro. Carr, Grand Secretary, presepted a well-written report on Foreign Correspondence. Our Brother may rest assured, should we visit in the neighborhood of Kansas, we will avail ourself of his kind invitation to ~isit our brethren on the other side of the river.. M. W. Jacob Saqo.i, Atchison, Grand Ma.srer; R. W. E. T. Carr, F~rt Leavenworth, Grand Secretary. KENTUCKY. The Grand t:J assembled in the city of Lotlisville, 17th October, 1864; 181 ~ represented. The Grand Mastel' recommends the Grand- cJ to take such action as will forever banisk the la;st vestige of the organitation of Conservators from the Gmnd and Subordinate CEJ of Kentucky. The whole subject of the Conservators' Association was subscE

quentIy reported on by a committee, cotisisting of some of the . olde~t :Masons of the State, who utterly denounced and repudiated the whole system, its aiders and abettors. A communication, signed by a number of ConMrvators, was read, renouncing the system; and at the head of the list we were pained to read the name of Hiram Bassett, who had been honored by his brethren as their Grand Master. It appears that Mr. Morris does not hold membership in any 0 in Kentucky. Bro. McCorcle presented the report on Foreign Correspondence. It is chiefly devoted to the action of other Grand ee:i on the Conservators' Association. M. W. J. D. Landrum, Paducah, Grand Mastet; R. W. J. M. S. McCorcle, Greensburg; Grand Secretary. LOUISIANA. The only noti~e of the Annual Communication of this Grand LJ is contained in a number of the Picayune newspaper. From it we learn that the Grand 0 held its Annual Communication in the city of New Orleans, 17th February, 1865. M. W. J'ohn Q. A. Fellows, New Orleans, Grand Master; R. ,V. Samuel M. Todd., New Orleans, Gr~nd Secretary. MAINE. The Grand CJ assembled in the city of Portland, 3d May, 1864 ; 97 CEJ represented. A large number of decisions made by the Grand Master are printed with the proceedings. Many of them are important; and we would be pleased to present some of them in this report did our limits permit. Numerous dispensations were granted to receive applications at Special Communications from aoldier& home on a short furlough. The Grand Master admits that the. whole system of granting dispensations to expedite the conferring of the degrees is greatly

abused; and he says; moreover, thr.-t the present course, if pursued, cannot fail. to result in the demoralization of the Fraternity, and in lowering the dignity and high standing of the Order. The report on Foreign Correspondence was: as usual, presented by Bro. Pearl, and IS fully equal to his former efforts. A large portion of it is devoted to the action of other Grand CEJ on t.he Conservators and their designs. Maine desires to have no communication with this body of disorganizers, and says so very forcibly. But our .estimable brother will mite no more reports for the Grand D. died on 19th March, at the age of 60 J'ears. Our deceased brother was an earnest, thoughtful Mason. His writings portray the character of the man. Keen, vigoroU8 and searching, he pr0bed his subject thoroughly aud analyzed it faithfully. He was a zealous advocate for the establishing of a General Gra.nd 0; and he was the fearless champion of the General Grand Chapter. But he is gone, never to be seen again of men, leaving, as an inheritance to his family, an honest name, which is more precious than gold. M. W. William P. Preble, Granu Master, Portland; R. W.

MARYLAND. The Annual C~mmunication of this Grand 0 was held in the city of Baltimore, November 21st, 1864; 38 CEJ represented.. The Grand Master notices the death of Bro. James Sterrett, for many yea.rs az.ealous Mason, and a worthy and accomplished gentleman. The Grand Master says: "The fathers are passing away; soon they will be gone. • There is a wild and restless radicalism born, if not begotten, by the revolutionary spirit of the times, which, if permitted to gro..w and expand, will inflict vast evil upon the Fraternity." Well and truly said, M. W. Grand Master! Would that your

language would sink deep into the heart of every Mason, so that they may take warning ere it is too late! The Grand 0 has a Charity Fund of $51,273. A singular communication from a 0 in Paris, :E'rance, working the Memphis Rite, asking relief for a' brother, Eugene Deville, and his three children. He has a " small employment, which does not give him sufficient to live." Why any 0 in Europe should send to this country for relief for one of its members is the singular part of this communication. An excellent report on Foreign Corresp.ondence was presented by Bro. Wm. J. Wroth, in which the action of the Grand 0 of Missouri, relative to the Conservators, is favorably noticed. Our course is approved; and the Grand CJ of Maryland, by her action, condemns the organization, its objects and dp.signs. M. W. John Coats, Grand Master, Baltimore; R. W. Jacob H. l\-Iedairy, Grand Secretary, Baltimore. MICHIGAN. The Annual Communication was held in ihe city of Detroit, January 11, 1865; 140 C€J represented. The Grand Master presented a well·prepared report, in which he takes strong ground against Bro. Mackey's theory relative to CEJ U. D., their standing, etc. As the Grand 0 of Missouri has long since 5ettled their status, your committee will only express astonishment at the views adopted by so intelligent a brother as Dr. Mackey with regard to this class of e:::e:J. The Grand~ Master instructed the W. Master of a 0 not to recognize as Masons citizens of Michigan belonging to the army, who claim to have been made Masons in the State of Mississippi, in a military CJ, working under a dispensation from the Grand 0 of Indiana. A number of questions on masonic jurisprudence were answered by the Grand Master during the year, and, in the main, correctly.

He appears to thoroughly understand the workings of the Craft in his jurisdiction. R. W. James Fenton, Grand Secretary, preEPl1ted a brief but well-written report on Foreign Correspondence. M. W. Wm. T. Mitchell, Port Huron, Grand Master; R. W. James Fenton, Detroit, Grand Secretary.

NEW JERSEY. The Grand 0 assembled in the city of Trenton, 18th January,

1865; 53 t:::ftl represented. The Grand :Master says he is no friend or dispensations to make Masons at sight, and thinks the proper principle would be, not to grant any dispensations to shorten the time between the degrees in cases where the petitioner, at the time of presenting his petition, did so with the intention of making a further application for a dispensation. The Grand 0 is called to mourn the loss of two aged Past Gl'and Masters, Bros. Babbitt and Burroughs, both born in the year 1788, and both dying in 1864, aged 76 years. The Grand Secretary, Bro. Joseph H. Hough, presented the report on Foreign Correspondence, which is mainly devoted to the Conservators and their organization. No sympathy for them in New Jersey. M. 'V. Silas Whitehead Grand Master, Newark; R.W. Joseph H. Hough Grand Secretary, Trenton.

NEW HAMPSHIRE. The Grand 0 assembled in the city of Concord on 8th June, 1864; 49 Câ‚ŹJ represented. The Grand Master does not favor the granting of dispensations to make Masons without the usual probationary terms of service. Masonic CE:J, he truly says, "are no novelty in New Hampshire; " and it appears unreas'Onable that persons who, for years, had " manifested no desire to enroll themselves among our numbers,


70

GRAND LODGE OF A. F. A. MASONS

"should after their tardy applications, find the necessity so " urgent for receiving the degrees without delay. It seemed as if "they resorted to Freemasonry with no special good will; but at the " last moment as an ordeal that was worth undergoing, because it " would serve as a letter of introduction and recommendation in " some distant place, or in some new field of occupation." The Grand Master alludes, in just and forcible terms, to the loss sustained by the Fraternity of New Hampshire in the dea,th of Past Grand Master Aaron P. Hughes. He was a skillful Mason, and his memory will be held in esteem by the Fraternity. The Grand 0, in no measur.ed terms, condemns the system of work as taught by the Conservators; and the CEJ are strictly enjoined to have nothing to do with it. Our venerable friend and brother, Horace Chase, Grand Secretary, presented the report on Foreign Correspondence, and, although appointed at a late date to discharge the duty, the present report is equal to any of his former efforts. Truly does our路brother say that" difference in opinion on minor subjects is always to be expected"; but let us all be ever ready to yield our private opinions, our preferences and prejudices for the sake of harmony and good of the whole, and reflect we owe allegiance to our own Grand 0 and none other; that we are bound by every masonic obligation to pay due r~8pect and render implicit obedience to its edicts and laws. Let us cultivate charity and brotherly love among ourselves; let no contention exist among us but that noble contention, or rather emulation, of who can best work and best agree; let us practice what we profess to believe and teach-then we shall maintain consciences void of offense toward each other, and show to the world that Masons love one another, and that it is good and pleasant for brethren to dwell together in unity. M. W. J. Everett Sargent, We~thworth, GrandMaster; R. W. Horace Chase, Hopkinton, Grand Secretary.

NEW YORK. This Grand 0 held its Annual Communication in the city of New York, June 7th, 1865; 365 te:J represented. Among the representatives we notice the name of Rob. Morris, proxy, representing Nassau 0, No. 536. The Grand Master notices in suitable t~rms the deaths of R. W. John B. Yates Summer~, Ebenezer Wadsworth, Nelson Randall, and, though last not least, Rev. Salem Town,all prominent Masons in their day. The Grand Master complains of gross neglect ofduty on the part of the officers of five of the Military CEl:J to whom dispensations were issued in 1861. He declined granting dispensations for the formation of any more of them. The receipts of the Grand 0 for the year ending May 31st, 1864, is $24, 877, $2,390 of which is for dispensations to confer degrees. Past Grand Master John L. Lewis presented an able and lengthy report on Fureign Correspondence, nearly sixty pages of which are devoted to masonic affairs in Europe. From the well-known ability of the chairman and his associates, their reports are unusually in teresting, and will well repay a careful perusal. Our proceedings for 1863 are favorably noticed. The following re~olution was adopted by the Grand 0 : Resolved, That, in the opinion of the Grand 0 of the State of New York, the printing and publication in U cypher or mnemonics" of any portion of the ritual of Masonry, not purely monitorial, is a shameful departure from masonic propriety, and a violation of masonic obligation, and receives the unqualified condemnation of the Grand D. 1\'1.

masonic institution who estimate its strength by its numbers, or mea.sure its prosperity by the length of the r911 of its initiates." These are not the standards by which either one or the ot.her is to be determined. Its strength is in its principles, and its prosperity in the character of its members." Military.CE!J do not meet with the approval of the Grand Master. There is much in the admirable address of the Grand Master which your committee would wi~h to extract, did time and the limits assigned to this report permit. \ Bro. R. C. Lemon presented tho report on Foreign Correspondence. Noticing our proceedings for 1864, relative to the Conservators, he says: 'I Whilst your committee have been unable to see anything in the Grand 0 proceedings submitted to their perusal complimentary of the order of Conservators, or anything j~stifying or excusing the organization, they cannot approve of the strong denunciation indulged in by Bro. O'Sullivan". If our brother will refer to the report of that sterling craftsman, Bro. Thrall, for the year 1863, he will :find that Brother O'Sullivan is' not alone in his denunciations. Bro. O'S. would also refer to the action of every Grand 0 in America, so far as can be heard from, to sustain him in the position he has heretofore taken, and does not at this time retract. M. \V. Thomas Sparrow, Columbus, Grand Master; R. W. John D. Caldwell, Cincinnati, Grand Secretary. OREGON. This Grand 0 assembled at Portland, 20th June, 1864; 21 Cfb reprosented. The Grand Master congratulates the Grand 0 that, whilst the sounds of war are heard elsewhere, they are enjoying the blessing of peace; that the busy note of improvement in almost every town and village calls mechanical skill into requisition. Labor and capital, mutually aiding each other, have met wi\h encouragement and remunerative return.

Bro. Amory Holbrook presented a report on Foreign Correspondence, concluding as follows: "We have done, however, as well as we could, crowded as we " have been by various pressing engagements; and if our report "is like a ..(let, gathering fish of every kind, the Grand 0 will " have discernment enough to keep the good and cast the bad " away." M. W. John McCracken, Portland, Grand Master; R. W. J. E. Hurford, Oregon City, Grand Secretary. VERMONT. This Grand 0 assembled at Bellows Falls, Jan. 13, 1865; 59 CEb represented. This Grand 0 has bcen called upon to mourn the loss of many prominent Masons during the past year. The Grand Master condemns the tendency, apparent in some Cfb, to encourage the speedy advancement of candidates, and says the time provided by law is short enough for a proper understanding of the ceremonies of the degrees. In closing his address, the Grand Master feelingly says: It Many, very many, desolate homes, mourning hearts, crushed hopes, are in our once happy land. God help those within those desolate homes, comfort the mourning hearts, bind up the crushed hopes I Fair, faint streaks are on the horizon's verge, as if the light would surge. May the hour soon come when the faint streaks may widen, ~he clouds roll up in gold and amber flakes, and the glad daylight shine 1" To which we would reverently say, in the fullncss of our heart, amen I R. W. Henry Clark, Grand Secretary, presented an elaborate report on J.4'oreign Correspondence, a portion of which is, we think, needlessly devoted to a defense of our late, lamented Bro. Tucker, as to his vindication of the work purporting to be taught by the Conservators. Those who had the pleasure of knowing our deceased brother need no such defense. His long and faithfull career as a Mason is the best evidence that could be given of his fidelity to the Order, and of his discountenancing any innovation on the body of Masonry.

The Annual Communication was held in the CIty of Milwaukee, June 14, 1864; 105 Câ‚ŹJ represented. The Grand Master represents the Craft in his jurisdiction as highly prosperous-provided it can be conceded that a rapid increase of membership and a commendable progress in the acquirement of the ritual are the only evidences required of such prosperity. On the subject of military C2J he is clear and explicit, stating that frequent complaints have reached him from subordinate Câ‚ŹJ, as well as from individual members of the Craft, that citizens of Wisconsin, connected with the army, have returned from the field, ~laiming to have been made Masons in some military 0 , and lome of these persons so made were rejected by CEJ in their neighborhood before leaving home, their moral and social relations being such that they could not obtain admission into a D. He says, and truly, that no Grand D has the right to grant dispensations for military e:e:J to make Masons of citizens of Wisconsin while in the States of Kentucky or Tennessee; and he dissents from the policy of sending abroad blilnk certificates of membership, signed and sealed by a Grand 0, to be filled up by the person in whose charge they are placed. The Grand Master condemns, in no measured terms, the Conservators' Association; and confides in the good sense of the Fraternity in his jurisdiction to save them from the discord and confusion which has been brought upon other jurisdictions by the efforts of the Conservators' Association to disseminat:~ their peculiar views, in opposition to the regularly-established ritual. Bro. G. W. Washburn presented the report on Foreign Correspondence, in which he cautions the Fraternity against th~ Conservators' Association, as dangerous to the peace and welfare of the Craft.

CÂŁJ represented. Among the decisions of the Grand Master is the following: "A Past-Master, by service, though not a member of the 0, in the absence of the Master, and by request of a Warden, who is present, may preside and govern the 0 for the time being." Bro. Wm. H. Wood presented a brief report on Eoreign Correspondence, the proceedings of only four Grand CEJ having reached hiJIl 1\'1. W. Thomas M. Reid, Grand Master, Olympia; R. W. Elwood Evans, Grand Secretary, Olympia. CONCLUSION. Members of the Grand 0 of :Missouri, a terrible calamity has occurred in our country, in the assassination of the Chief Magistrate' of this Republic. Just as we were emerging from the horrors of civil war; when the angel of peace, with countless blessings in her train, was about to return to the home from which she had been rudely banished; when the earnest, enlightened friends of our republican form of government were congratulating each other on the stability of our institutions; at such time, when all the genial feelings of Abraham Lincoln's n:tture were about to be brought into full activity, and when the hopes of thousands, who knew the moral worth of the man and the kindness of his heart, were raised to the highest pitch; at such time, when totally unconscious of danger, the fell hand of a murderer arrested the pulsations of his heart forever, and the spirit of the incorruptible President of the United States returned to the God who gave it. That we, as Free and Accepted 1\1:ason8, regard with horror this crime, it is Bcarce neces:;ary for us to. say-believing, as we do,


76

that a greater misfortune could not have fallen on our countrybut we may profit, to some extent, by the lessons of forbearance and mildness which he not onlJ taught, but practiced, immediately before his untimely end. Let us, as Masons, learn from him; that if, in the providence of God, brethren, heretofore misled, return to their homes among us, in conformity to lawful authority, we will Dot ignore their claims upon our sympathy and charity. Let us extend to all such of our mystic brotherhood a warm greeting. In our 0 rooms let all, who are found worthy, feel that they are once more at HOME. Let us; who have adhered to our Government through all the trials of the past four years, teach them, by our course of action, that while we rejoice with grateful hearts at the return of peace and the unity of our Government we yet remember our solemn engagements; and in this, their time of trouble, of sorrow and of. suffering, that we commiserate their misfortunes, and sympathize in their afflictions. Let no unkind, unmasonic language fall from our lips in our intercourse with each other. Let the past be as much as possible buried; and let us look forward with a well-grounded hope that purified, as if by fire; we will come out into the broad noonday sun of righteousness better citizens and better Masons. Let us learn to subdue our passions, and improve in morality and virtue; humbly looking. to God as our Heavenly Grand Master, and continually invoking his blessings upon all our laudable undertakings. Fraternally submitted,

Your committee would further report, that Bro. R. E.

To the By-Laws find the following objections: Section 3 provides, that" when a vacancy occurs in any office by refusal of the member to be installed, such vacancy shall be filled by election at the next regular communication after such refusal shall be known." Recommend that section to be stricken out. Part of section 9 provides, "that clergymen may be initiated, passed and raised at less rates than others." Wesuggest that this clause be stricken out. Section 12. Would recommend that tJe word " suspended" be substitutedfor "excluded." lYe recommend that a charter be granted to said D.

OF THE STATE OF MISSOURI.

87

requiring the returns of subordinate CEJ to show the dates of conferring the several degrees, to~wit: Nos. 1, 3, 4, 13, 16, 18, 19, 20, 24, 25, 28, 30, 81, 32, 83, 36, 40, 54, 58, 60, 62, 65, 66, 71, 79, 87, 89, 93, 97, 106, 109, 116, 121, 123, 130, 131, 134, 142, 150, 151, 156, 157, 163, 166, 174, 176, 179, 185, 189, 193 194, 196, 199, 210, 214, 227, 233, 237; a~d they have paid their Grand dues for the year 1865.

The returns of the following CEJ are, in the main, correct, but they fail to give dates of conferring the different degrees, to-wit: Nos. 5, 23, 35, 56, 57, 76, 84, 96, 162, 191, 207, 222, 228, 231 and 234. They have failed to pay their dues for 18~5. Returns of Griswold 0, No. 178, do not give names of persons passed and raised during the year, but simply state the number. The returns of Ashley 0, No. 75, and Haynesville 0, No. 49, are not signed by tho W. M.; they do not give dates of conferring the degrees; they have paid Grand 0 dues for 1865. The following CE::J have failed to make any re})ort for the year ending 30th April, 1865, to-wit: Nos. 6, 7, 10, 15, 21, 29, 34, 42, 44, 46, 47, 50, 51, 61, 62: 63, 64, 68, 69, 72, 73, 74, 81, 83, 85, 86, 88, 90, 95, 99, 101, 103, 108, 112, 118, 114, 115, 117, 118, 119, 120, 122, 124, 128, 135, 136, 137, 138, 139, 140, 141, 144, 145, 146, 147, 148, 149, 152, 153, 158, 160, 161, 165, 167, 169, 173, 175, 177, 180, 182, 184, 186, 190, 195, 197, 200, 201, 202, 203, 204~ 205, "208, 209, 211, 212, 215, 216, 217, 228, 224, 225, 229 and 232. Your Committee, in this connection, would recommend that the Secretaries of subordinate CEb be ordered, in making out their returns to the Grand 0, to insert, opposite the name of each person initiated, pas8ed or raised, the date of conferring said degree, as by this means alone a committee may know if the By-Laws of the Grand 0 h~ve been violated. And Jour Com路 mittee would suggest that the Grand Secretary, in procuri~g any further blanks for subordinate CE:J to make their returns to the Grand 0, should have them appropriatel)~ruled under the headings of" Initiated," it Passed" or 't Raised," so that 'the date

of conferring the degree maJ be placed opposite the name of the candidate. Platte 0, No. 56, lost their charter at the time their hall was destroyed by fire. A dispensation was grunted them to resume labor by the M. W. Grand Master. They now petition the Grand ':=J to unite their 0 with Zerruhab~l 0, No. 191. Your Committee, therefore, recom;nend that no charter be granted to Platte 0, No. 56, and f,hat the name and number thereof be stricken from tho roll of CE!J; that the members of Platte o be granted dimits by the Grand Secretary of Missouri, upon making proper application therefor, dO tbat they can unite with Zerrubabel or other 0 ; that the property of Platte 0, No. 56, be turned over to Zerrubabel 0, and that Zerrubab~l 0, No. 191, be located at Platte City., D:mville 0, No. 72, sends a statement, signed by the W. 1\1., with a list of members, stating that their charter, furniture, etc., have been destroyed by fire. They do not, however, ask for any relief, and your Committee, th(,refore, have no suggestions or recommendations to make in regard to said D. We find great political excitement existing among the members of Round Prairie 0, No. 138, and that members are making political test a qualification for Masonry, contrary to the spirit of the institution. We, therefore, recommend that no duplicate charter be granted to said 0, and that their request for the same be denied, Maryville D, No. 165, through the Secretary, petitions the Grand 0 for a duplicate charter; and, in view of their misfortune, your Committee recommend that a duplicate charter be furnished to said 0, and that thOeir dues to the Grand 0 be remitteo up to May 1st, 1865. In regard to the proceedings of Wolf Island 0, No. 172, Jour Commit.tee find the records of said 0 incorrect in many partieulars~ and that the inRtructions of this Grand 0, at its last annual communication, have not been complied with in several particulars. Several Past ~Iast~rs of said 0 were before your Committee, and offered explanations for the inaccuracies, and

. promised to see the.jrregularities corrected. Your Committee would, therefore; recomme~d that the charter of Wolf Island D be continued until the next annual communication of this Grand D; that said. 0 . be required to send up a full copy of their proceedings for tho masonic year; and that the D. D. G. )1. be instructed to visit said 0 and set the same to work, givin~ them all necessary instructions, so that, in future, such irregular })roceedings may be avoided. Your Committee have had before them the communication of the former :\laster and vVardens of Ne"ada 0, No. 229, and we find that this no longer exists, this Grand D having, at its last communication, ordered its name to bo f:ltri(~ken from the roll. From the representation of the Master and. 'Vardens of said 0, by communicatil'n, and personal interview of a member of said Nevada 0, No. 229, your Committee would recommend that this Grand 0 reconsider its action at its last allnual communication, and that the charter, jewels and money of N cvada 0, No. 229, be restored to the late officers of said 0, and that they be reqnired to furnish this Grand 0, at its next communication, with a complete record of tho work of said Nevada 0, No. 229, for its appro路val.

Your Committee approve the action of tho Grand Master in relation to Alto Vista 0, No. 208, and recommend that said be stricken from the roll of CEJ; and Y0ul' Committeo further recommend that a dispcnRation be granted to the brethren of .:\'lto "ista 0 who did not co-operate in the condnet condemned, and th:~t the Grand Master be authorized to tnrn over to them tho property and jewels of said late 0 at the time of granting them a dispensation. YonI' Committe recommend that the application of Chapman 0, U. D., for the retm'n of their' dispensation be grunted, and the Grand Secretary be authorized to return the ~ame to RI"O. R. Frank Green, as suggested by the 1\1. ,V. Granu :\Ia8ter in his address. YonI' Committee 路recommend that the Grand :Ma~ter be authorized to restore to Dawson 0, ~ o. 37, its charter, jewels,

The Committee appointed to re-district the State report that they have increased the number of districts to sixteen (which includes New Mexico), having regard to the number and situation of Cfb in each district, and not to territory. In some of the the Missouri river the C2:J are so situated that a districts south cha.nge for convenience is unnecessary. Your Committee would urge a strict enforcement of the law requiring a certifica.te of qualification on the part of D. D.

GRAND 0

OF MISSOURI:

In the memorial of Bro. Wm. C. Moore against the action of Wellington 0, No. 22, in the trial of Bro. Wm. O. Buckman, ycur committee, differing materially from the report of the majority, beg leave to state, briefly, the reasons for thie difference: Bro. 'Vm., O. Buckman was tried by Wellington Q, No. 22 1 in March, 1864, upon the charge of gross unmasoni~ conductspecification, obtaining goods, under false pretenBes, from a member of said D. On the trial, Bro. Buckman was found guilty; and his punishment assessed to be reprimanded. The memorialist, Bro. Moore, now cotnes forward and petitions this Grand 0 to direct Wellington 0, No. 22, to try the charges against Bro. Buckman" anew." Your committee dissent from the report of the majority fu~~~~:

f(路f

the

.

This Grand 0 ~a8 no authority to issue an edict to a snbordi.. nate 0 to try a brother a seco.1d time upon the same charge, when the subordiate 0 haa given him a regular trial, found him guilty and assessed the punishment. Secondly-If the Grand CJ 8et the unwi8e precedent of sustaining the appeal of any brother other than the accused, or his appellant, against the action ~拢 a D, it will involv'~ upon the Grand 0 an immense amount of trouble, as any brother, 'who does not think the action taken by the 0 was right, 'Will be giving his individual opinion that the united action of the 0 "Wa~ wrong, and he alone right. Your committee would, therefore, recommend the aaol1tion of the following:

The petition of Bro. Faulkner, and three others, have had careful attention. After hearing statements from R. W. Bro. O'Sullivan and W. Bro. Faulkner, your committee recommend that the petitions aforesaid be granted, so far as the granting of dimits to the late members of United 0, No.5, is concerned. Your committee beg to state that they cannot concur in the of 1861, in arresting the charter of action of the Grand United 0, No.5, and immediately restoring it to a few only of the members, thus virtually suspending the great majority of the members without specific charges being adduced against them; but as the matter has thus far continued without remonstrance from the brethren non-affiliated by the action of the Grand 0 , until this present Grand Communication, your committee offer the following resolution: Resolved, That United 0, No.5, be authorized and required to giv~ to each and every brother who was a member at the time of the temporary arrest of the charter of United 0, No.5, a dimit, under the seal of the 0, upon application for the same, and payment of all dues to March, 186l.

Terhune, the Master and Wardens of Maryville 0, :No. 65, Nodaway county (whose charter, books and 0 room, were destroyed by fire), to continue labor until fourth Mopday of May, 1865. By order of M. W. Grand Master. May 10, 1865-Reccived charter of Kenner 0, No. 180, Athens, Clark county. The jewels, &c., were stolen by t;ome worthless fellows. Henry Hoose, Trea'surer of the late St. Mary-'s 0, has $300 in his possession, funds of the late St. Mary's O. I notified him the amount was the property of the Grand O. I have written to him repeatedly, and sent verbal communications to him by Bome of his friends, to pay over to me, as Grand Secretary of the Grand 0, the amount that he admits he has in his possession, but thus far, without receiving any reply. I learn that thii brother is in good circumstances, and, therefore, he can offer no excuse for his delinquency. I hope the Grand 0 will take such action in thi~ case as will compel Bro. Hoose to pay over the funds justly due this Grand O. During the past year, I wrote out and mailed about three hundred and fifty dimits to brethern where CEJ have gone down, or who have left the State, unable to procure dimits. I have received from this source the sum' of $105, as will more fully appear in my cash account. As the Grand 0 desires the publication of the names of the members of tho several CEJ, it is earnestly requested that all the CEJ of this jurisdiction send in their returns, as.required by law, and the D. D. Grand Masters are fraternally requested to see that the law, in this particular, is complied with. Respectfully submitted, A. O'SULLIVAN, Grand Secretary.

Bro. W. H. Stone, offered the following, which was, on motion, adopted: , Resolved, That the Grand Secretary, R. 'V. A. O'S~l1livan, is hereby authorized to draw a warrant on the Grand r~'reasnrer for the sum of eighteen hundred dollars ($1800), ill paymen t for

RESOLUTIONS

Resolved, 5. That we reiterate our unqualified condemnation of Robert Morris, as chief of said COllSel'VatOl's, regarding him as
