INTRODUCTION. To the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Missouri:

The Masonic year now closing has been of little more than the most ordinary interest and few incidents of special importance have occurred. A few invasions of Grand Jurisdictions, suggesting the propriety of border legislation, or greater care on the part of border Lodges; the floods which wrought such desolation in Ohio and furnished the opportunity for the manifestation of the spirit of Freemasonry in the generous help extended to those in need, and one or two "Masons at sight" have been introduced to the Fraternity, of which little notice has been taken, so far as we have been informed. In a Southern city one of the Lodges brought suit against the others for the title to a certain property, which seems to have been held in common before. The Grand Master promptly arrested the Charter, in which he was sustained by the Grand Lodge. Our only comment is to wonder what will become of the suit, since the plaintiff is officially dead? The Hot Springs Sanitarium proposition seems to be gaining ground, and the same is true of the Washington Memorial Association. Both present very plausible and earnest pleas for sympathy and co-operation, and some, who were at first indifferent or opposed, have fallen into line.

A POSSIBLE DANGER.

The question of Grand Jurisdiction, whether "perpetual, limited to a term of years, or territorial, is felt to be a possible menace to the "peace and harmony" which has prevailed so generally throughout the United States. -This is to our Fraternity,' if I- am not greatly in error, an ever-preElent possibility of evil, if not of real disaster. As it seems to us, a claim to Jurisdiction, extending

â&#x20AC;˘

Appendix.

[Sept.-Oct.

over any term of years, where the rejected candidate has removed to another State, is quite as unjust as if it were claimed for all time and eternity, and can never be a basis of agreement. The quasi consent to a term of five years, given by perhaps a majority of those attending the Philadelphia meeting, some years since, has only been accepted in one case, so far as we know, and was and is practically null and void. As it seems to us, the only· possible and the only just settlement of this issue is to agree to territorial Jurisdiction. ATTENDING CHURCH IN REGALIA.

In some Grand Jurisdictions, in our own and other lands, many Dispensations were granted for attending church in regalia, and many refused, so that the question is really an issue. No arguments pro and can have been presented except the very general· one that the Sabbath is not a Masonic occasion, but it seems to us that it is nei.ther a compliment to the church, thus signalized, nor to the Lodge, if invited by the church. If the Lodge initiate the visit it is doubtless an unworthy desire for an ostentatious advertisement of our Order on a day when it involves no expense of time or money, and if a church gives such invitation the motive or wisdom of pastor or other authorities is to be suspected. It is to be criticised, if not condemned, except in case of funerals.

CORNER-STONES.

Touching the laying of corner-stone for a church, one Grand Master suggested in his Annual Address that the church should be required to pay all the expenses incurred by the Fraternity in connection with the ceremony. The Grand Lodge refused to endorse the suggestion, taking a wise and conservative view of the matter. Other Grand Masters have expressed grave doubt as to whether a church is a building of such character as to claim this distinction from the Fraternity. And one-not now a Grand Master-expresses himself freely and bluntly, if not coarsely, denouncing the

•

1913. ]

Appendix.

laying of corner-stones for "buildings called churches" as altogether un-Masonic, and he even goes out of his way to declare that in such cases the church is always moved by selfishness, expecting that by this they will secure the financial support of the Craft. In effect his deliverance is as foolish as it is untrue, and constitutes an insult to the Christian world. To decline to lay a corner-stone is certainly the prerogative of every Grand Master, but to do so with insult would be a blow to our Order, for which the church in the main holds a profound respect and which we cannot afford to lose, as it would entail a disaster not easily compensated. The Grand Lodge of Missouri has been treated with elegant courtesy by the several Correspondents, and scarce a hint of criticism except with reference to the report on Appeals and Grievances, which is condemned sometimes as unfit for publication. With this we have occasional compliments by way of compensation. The most frequent recipient of these is our Grand Secretary, M. W. Bro. John R. Parson. C. C. WOODS.

Green, whose picture, together with a brief sketch of his life, adorns the initial pages of the Proceeding.s, was re-elected to that exalted position, which would seem to indicate his great popularity in that Jurisdiction. We have no disposition to criticise any act of any Grand Jurisdiction, but frankly we would be glad never to record an incident of this charac~cr in the ordinary history of a Grand Lodge. Sometimes, of course, peculiar circumstances may imlicate this as eminently proper, but ordinarily there are serious objections. Some of our Brethren near the seaboard and possibly more influenced by the Old World ideas of royalty and title may like this, or at least submit to it, but such a case is rare in the West. However-de gustibus non disputandum! Possibly the most serious objection to this is the example thus set before Subordinate Lpdges, which, followed, is greatly injurious and may even, in the end, prove destructive to any Lodge. NINETY-SECOND ANNUAL COl\1i\UJNICATION.

The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of Alabama and its Masonic Jurisdiction, commenced its NinetY-'Second Annual Communication in the Masonic Temple in the City of Montgomery, on the afternoon of Tuesday, at 3 o'clocl{, on the third day of December, A. D. 1912, A, 1.1. 5912, and was opened in Ample Form by the M. W. Grand Master, with prayer by the R. W. and Reverend Grand Chaplain. GRANI> MA8TER'S ADDlt!<:S8.

The M.. W. Grand Master delivered his Annual Address as follows: Brethren of the G1'and Lodge Of Alabama:

We meet today as we have met for more than ninety years, practicing tbe samo ritualistic ceremonies, professing the same principles, and bolding the

Appendix.

1913. ]

same tenets. But those ancient ceremonies possess a new meaning, those principles have become an active force and OUT tenets have assumed concrete form. No great institution can ever stand still, it must either progress, or be lost in the battle, in which the forces of good are arrayed against the influences which tend to degrade mankind. Ancient Craft Masonry, while it stands for the same today that it did centuries back, while it has come through the ages without any changes in its forms, alterations in its ceremonies, or variations in its professions, has ever been in the front of the battle of civilization for the uplift of man and the redemption of the world. Creeds and religions and empires have arisen, flourished and decayed; doctrines which have swayed the world and been maintained by the most brilliant intellects of our race have sunk into contempt and dishonor; yet Freemasonry still survives, unchanged and unchangeable. But, when we remember that it knows no touchstone of truth, looks nowhere for a competent censor, recognizes no infallibility in human flesh and believes that error cannot stand before the blazing torch of reason, we must admit that its basic principles are such that it cannot be shaken by religious reformations, nor overthrown by political revolutions.

The Address is intâ&#x201A;Źresting throughout and indicates a year of painstaking labor on the part of the Grand Ma'Ster. He granted Dispensations for the formation of seven new Lodges. Evidently the Craft is flourishing in Alabama, as twelve Lodges werâ&#x201A;Ź chartered last year. The Grand Master made many official visitations and granted many mi'scellaneous Dispensations for the ordinary reasons common to ~onic usage. He reports a number of Decisions, some of which we herewith present: 2. One who Is engaged in the sale of vinous, spirituous or malt liquors is ineligible to receive the degrees of Masonry. This applies to either or all degrees. Therefore, one who is so engaged and had been initiated or passed before the adoption of this edict became ineligible for advancement by its adoption. 3. One who is engaged as a prescription clerk in a drug store where liquor is sold by wholesale is not one engaged in the business of selling liquor and is not ineligible to receive the degrees.

11. When an applicant has been rejected by a Subordinate Lodge and still lives within the Jurisdiction of the Lodge which rejected him, no other Lodge can receive his petition without the consent of the rejecting Lodge, even though more than three years have elapsed since his rejection. 12. Where a profane makes application to a Lodge other than that of his residence and is rejected, and more than three years elapse, he may then

â&#x20AC;˘

Appendix'.

[Sept.-Oct.

make application to the Lodge of his residence without obtaining the consent of the Lodge which rejected him.

Numbers 2 and 3, of course, are all right, especially in a prohibition State, as a Mason must be or should be a "law-abiding" man. The 11th and 12th are a little puzzling: Both indicate that after rejection a man mu'st wait three years before he can again make application, which seems to us unusual in Masonic usage and unnecessarily severe; and the latter would seem to indicate that a man may apply to a Lodge outside of his Jurisdiction. Possibly, however, we are obtuse. The Grand Master introduces this wise paragraph in his closing remarks:路 I do not wish to assume the attitude of taking to myself any unusual authority or claiming any extraordinary prerogative, but as the result of long study and thought and considerable investigation, I am convinced that the Grand Master has the authority to issue any order for the government of the Craft, provided he is not prohibited from doing so by the written Constitution, or his act is not a violation of the Ancient Landmarks.

DEDICATION OF THE MASONIC I-IO:i\'lE.

The feature of greatest interest in connection with this session of the Grand Lodge was the dedication of the Home, the ceremonies connected with which were carried out with unusual enthusiasm and spirit. We would be glad to quote from some of the ex<;ellent addresses delivered but for want of space. The report of the Committee indicates that the Brethren are already appreciating sensibly some of the many difficulties and embarrassments attending the inauguration and management of such an enterprise. CORl~ESPOND)<;NCE.

Our good Brother T'itcomb is kind to Missouri, according to us nearly six page'S in which he quotes freely from our Proceedings with no unpleasant comment. He congratulates us on our Grand Secretary, of whom he 'says we have reason to be proud. He is courteous to the Missouri Correspondent, which i's duly appreciated. Th,~ Report covers some 236 pages in reviewing some 63 Annuals.

The Proceedings for the meeting in 1913 constitute a neat volume of some 250 pages, including index. It is well arranged throughout, reflecting credit on the Secretary and publisher as well. ANNUAL COMMUNICATION.

The Eighth Annual Communication of the M. W. Grand Lodge of Alberta, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, was opened in the Masonic Temple at the Town of Banff, Province of Alberta, on Wednesday, May 28th, A. D. 1913, A. L. 5913, at the hour of 10: 30 o'clock a. m. There was a good attendance and the meeting was harmonious and pleasant throughout. The Grand Lodge of Alberta has no fixed abode, as will be noted from the introductory paragraph of the ANNUAL ADDRESS.

Brethren of the Gmnd Lodge of Alberta:

For the second time in the history of the Grand Lodge of Alberta, and for the third time in the history of Masonry, we meet together in this portion of the Province of Alberta amid surroundings of beauty and grandeur which cannot fail to Impress us with the power and majesty of the Great Architect of the Universe, and enable us to look up from nature unto nature's God. May our deliberations here at this time be so ordered that Peace, Love and Harmony prevail, and, with the most grateful acknowledgment of the many favors and blessings bestowed on us by the Ruler of the Universe, may we so conduct ourselves that the welfare and efficiency of Ancient Freemasonry will be promoted and enhanced.

He reports one Emergent Grand Lodge, for the purpose of laying the corner-stone of a public school at Okotoks, and after the ceremony he was presented with a handsome trowel as a memento of the occasion. FHATERN AL DEAD.

He reports the death of nineteen of the members of that Jurisdiction and twenty-four distinguished Brethren of other Jurisdictions. He congratulates the Grand Lodge on the present satisfactory financial condition. Five Lodges of Instruction were held during the year. He regrets that circumstances prevented others. He reports no Decisions at all-which is commendable always - i f none are necessary. Sometimes, we fear, Grand Masters are tempted to express their knowledge of Masonic law-as it should be -in delivering Decisions. REPORTS FRONI THE DISTRICTS.

The District Deputy Grand Masters present very ~ull and satisfactory reports of their work during the year, showing that the office has not been esteemed a sinecure. FINANCIAL.

The Grand Treasurer reports receipts of $8,059.35 and expenditures of $6,419.24, leaving a balance to credit of Grand Lodge of $1,640.11. The Grand Secretary reports that Charters were granted to five Lodges, and they were duly constituted and their officers installed. Also that Dispensations were issued for the creation of thirteen Lodges, and they were duly set to work. Two Lodges suffered losses by fire during the year. Also a number of Dispensations for the reasons ordinarily assigned were issued during the year; the largest number to attend church in regalia. The Committee on Appeals and Grievances reported nothing before them for consideration. A very unusual condition with such committee, which speaks well for tbis Grand L.odge.

The report is from the excellent pen of n. W. Bro. S. Y. Taylor and covers one hundred and forty-two pages most worthily. Missouri is recognized briefly, but kindly. The Correspondent is com路 plimented in words and also in being quoted for several para路 graphs. The report is a good one.

The Proceedings of the Grand Lodge of Arizona come to our table in the form of a neat paper-bound volume of 146 pages, introduced by an excellent picture of the passing Grand Master, Harry A. Drachman. THIRTY-FIRST ANNUAL COMMUNICATION.

The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Arizona commenced its Thirty-first Annual Communication in the City of Bisbee on Tuesday, the 11th day of February, A. D. 1913, at 10 o'clock a. m., being opened with the usual ceremonies. Besides the Grand and several Past Grand Officers and visitors, there were Representatives from each of the twenty Lodges comprising the Grand Jurisdiction. ADDRESS.

The Address of the Grand Master, though quite brief, was altogether wise and worthy, covering every essential point and meeting the approval of the Grand Lodge: BRETHREN-We have assembled this morning for the Thirty-first Annual Communication, as the Representatives of nearly twenty-two hundred Master Masons, to listen to the reports of our Grand Lodge Officers, make new laws and repeal old ones, if necessary; renew old friendships and make new ones. Peace and tranqulllity prevail in our, Jurisdiction and with all Grand Jurisdictions under the canopy of heaven. Let thanks be given to God for our

prosperity and for the many evidences of His Infinite kindncss and love with which He has showered us. NECROLOGY.

He introduces his reference to the dead with the following lines: "Forget not the dead, who have loved, who have left us; Who bend o'er us now from their bright home above; And believe, never doubt, that the God who bereft us Permits them to mingle with friends they still love. Repeat their wise words, all their noble deeds cher'ish, Speak pleasantly of them who left us in tears; From our lips their dear names other joys should not banish, While time bears our fect through the valley of years. Yes, forget not the dead, who are evermore nigh us, Still floating sometimes around. our dream-haunted bed; In the loneliest hour, in the crowd, they are nigh us, Forget not the dead, oh, forget not the dead!" While we have had cause to mourn the loss of a large number of our Brethren of tire subordinate Lodges, we should be thankful that death has not invaded the ranks of the Grand Lodge this year, and before we proceed with 'our deliberations let us pause a moment in silence to do reverence to those who have passed to the Grand Lodge on high.

He considers official yisitation as wise and necessary and reports several visits made during the year. DECISIONS.

He decides that a Masonic Hall may be used for a dance and card party, but not for a raffle or any game of chance. Also that a minister cannot receive the Degrees of Freemasonry without paying for same. Some other Decisions of only local interest or application. ire closes the Report with earnest thanks to the Brethren for the honor of his position and closes with the invocation-"May God Have You All in His Holy Keeping." RF}POWr .OF THE GRAND SECRETARY.

The Grand Secretary repo.rts that all the Lodges sent in returns in good form and ample time. He reports the receipts from all sources as $2,674.25, duly paid to the Grand Treasurer and receipted for by him. For Widows and Orphans' Fund $1,060.50, likewise paid to Grand Treasurer.

OF GRAND MASTEI{.

The Address of the Grand Master is a modest, business-like document, evidencing a conscientious discharge of the duties of his high office and due care in reporting every item of interest to the Grand Lodge. He presents a long Ust of honored dead. He reports the appointment of District Deputies. He granted various Dispensations for the usual reasons in such cases. He wisely refu'sed to grant Dispensations when in his judgment unnecessary or un-Masonic. He gave permission for the creation of one new Lodge. He comments favorably on the appeal from Hot Springs and grants permission to canvass the Lodges of the United States for aid in building the proposed sanitarium. He also gives ~eport of Committee in extenso. He reports ten Decisions, all of which seem to be in accordance with the general law and spirit of Masonry. He reports the Orphan's' Home in excellent condition. He refers in strong terms to the delay in getting out the Proceedings of last year and calls for investigation. He give's a long letter from Belgium touching the anti-Masonic movement in that Grand Jurisdiction, which with much other matter gives the tenets, or principles, of Belgian Masonry. He closes his Address with this paragraph: It is not meant that Masonry shall render less the obligation of allegi~ ance we owe tbe Church. but hand in hand shall the two work ever for the amelioration of the woes of earth. comfort the dying. care for the widow and the orphan. and ever be defenders of the wronged and the oppressed. Brethren. be mindful with each passing day of the obligations you bave Yoluntarily assumed. "A happy bit bame. tbis auld world would be, If men, when they're here, could make shift to agree, And 'ilk said to his neighbor. in cottage an' na', Come gi'e me your hand, we are Brethren a'. Frail shakin' auld age will soon come o'er us baith An' creep in' along at his back will be Death. Syne into the same mither yird we will fa'. Come gi'e me your hand. we are Brethren a路...

Some of us are here for the last time, and even those whose years promise a lang and useful life have nothing to assure them of the future. Brethren, live your Masonry day by day, that you may be examples read of all men, and that your fruits may show the truth of the profession you have taken up. For SOOI1 the Autumn of our life is here, and the first frosts Of Winter shake off the sear and yellow leaf, and we fall like these to enrich our Mother Earth.

The finances of the Grand Lodge seem in good condition. The Masonic HQme reports a family of 87 and that peace and harmony prevail. The average cost of maintenance is not given and perhaps could only be approximated, as they have a farm in connection therewith. EMJ<:RGEl'\T GRAND COlVIlI:1UNICATIONS.

Six Emergent Communications of the Grand Lodge were held during the year for the purpose of laying corner-stones, all of which are reported in detail in the Proceedings.

[Sept.-Oct.

was opened in Ample }i'orm, in the Masonic Temple in the City of Vancouver, on Thursday, the 20th day of June, A. D. 1912, A. L. 5912, at the hour of 10: 30 o'clock a. m., by the Most Worshipful Grand Master in the presence of a large number of visitors, constitutional members, as also the required number of Representatives of Lodges. The Grand Ma'Ster introduces his Address very happily and with a spirit of reverence truly commendable. Brethren, on assembling in this, our Forty-first Annual Communication, and for the first time in this beautiful room, built, furnished and dedicated to Freemasonry by the Vancouver Brethren, permit me to bid you a personal and cordial welcome. Like so many of my predecessors in this Chair, and my confreres of other Jurisdictions, I realize how far short I have fallen of the standard I had set for my incumbency, but of this I am assured, that my year of office has broadened and bettered at least one person, and that one myself. May I hope that this fact will in some small measure repay you j{)r your confidence in me, .and justify the kindness and help I have received from all my Brethren during the year. May the Grand Architect of the Universe ~rant that this meeting may be a harmonious one, and that its deliberations may be conducted with an eye single to the good and welfare of the Craft and the spreading of its fundamental teaching, The Father'hood of God and the Brotherhood of Man.

The Address throughout is strictly conventional-a well written business document evidencing a faithful and conscientious discharge of duty in his high office. We find nothing to criticise, though it occurs to us that one of his recommendation'S if adopted would give opportunity for misunderstanding-possibly of trouble. This is with regard to funerals, and the recommendation for adoption is as follows, merely giving the text: VVe do quest, but church, no until after

not take charge of a funeral of a deceased brother except on rewben we do, either at the residence of the deceased or at the one should be allowed to come within our Lodge which is at labor the body is committed to the grave.

Certainly the Lodge is "at labor," but of a class, a's we understand, with public installation, corner-stone occasions, etc., which do not so rigidly exclude outsiders as this would seem to do. REPORT ON FOREIGN CORRESPONDE:KCE.

This is from the worthy hand of the Grand Secretary and evidence'S his ability as a reviewer in rio small measure. It covers 160 pages of which Missouri is discussed in four-approximately. The Missouri Correspondent is appreciative of the kindly manner in which his report is treated, and consequently does not complain that our good Brother is 'somewhat amused at our trend to oratory. We have only to say that if he should only be permitted to even hear

one 'of our ordinary "orators" he would no longer wonder that we have two. Most likely, with his appreciation of oratory, he would want several more! This Report is of the highest order.

The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the Jurisdiction of California commenced its Sixty-third Annual Communication at First Congregational Church in the City of Los Angeles, on Tuesday, the 8th day of October, A. L. 5912, at 10 o'clock a. m., and was opened in Ample Form. The prayer of the Grand Chaplain is so unusually forceful that we publish in full; nothing better will be read in this report. PRAYER.

Almighty God! Our Heavenly Father! We reverently come to Thee this morning, asking that Thy divine blessing rest upon those assembled here in Thy presence. Bless and prosper the Institution of Masonry, which has been dedicated to Thy holy name for the uplifting of mankind. We ask Thee to remember and bless those of our number who are unable to be with us today on account of trouble, sickness, or any other adversity. May they feel that Thy benediction rests upon them always, and enable them to say from the fullness of their hearts, "Thy will be done." Especially we ask Thee to bless those of our number who have worked in the vineyard of this Fraternity early and late; those whose heads have grown gray with the weight of years; and may their reward be the priceless jewels of Patience and Content. And, Heavenly Father, we ask Thee to guide and direct the young men of this Institution in the paths of rectitude and virtue. Enable them to build pure and upright characters, the noblest attribute of man; prepare them for the day that must come when the responsibilities of this great Fraternity shall rest upon them. We ask Thee, Almighty God, to be with Thy servant whose duty it is to preside over this assembly. Enable him to do momentarily that which deliberation would impel him to do. And when our pilgrimage here upon earth is

ended, and the hour of probation has drawn to a close, may it be our happy lot to assemble in that Grand Lodge on high, whose doors shall nevel' closein that "house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens." A11 these blessings we ask in Thy name, AIm ighty God; and to Thee we ascribe all honor and glory, now and forever. Amen.

The Grand Master then delivered his Annual Address, beginning as follows: BTeth7'cn of the G7'and Lodge:

The Grand Lod/!;e of the .Jurisdiction of California has been opened in Ample Form for it.s Sixty-third Annual Communication. In obedience to our Constitution, this written message is now presented to you, thereby setting forth all my official acts during the year, exhibiting the general condition of Masonry within the Jurisdiction, and recommending such legislation as seems necessary or expedient for the welfare of the Craft.

The Grand Master alluded to the unfinished state of the Temple in San Francisco, which was the reason for holding the Annual Session in Dos Angeles-for the first time in its history. He reported various functions in connection with the labors of the year, among which were the laying of corner-stones, dedications, public installations and special initiations, indicating a busy year and faithful attention to the responsibilities of his office, His Decilsions were referred, so he report's, to the Committee on Jurisprudence some time before the Annual Session-an example which it would be well for other Grand Masters to follow, as it enables the Committee to examine and complete their report without that hurry necessitated by other worl{ at the meeting of the Grand Lodge. NE\,." LODGES.

Four new Lodges, chartered by the Grand Lodge, were duly constituted soon after the Annual Session. Also he granted DispensatioM for the creation of eleven Lodges. The usual miscellaneous Dispensations appear in the detailed report of the Grand Secretary. FUNERAL SERVICE.

He refers in terms of commendation to the new funeral service duly appearing in the volume containing the new Constitution. We are pleased to note this, as the great majority of Grand Lodges use a form that is not only antiquated but often manifestly unsuitable. He reports many viJSitations during the year, which he greatly

enjoyed, and closes this part of his report with these fitting lines which will find an echo in every true heart: "Since it has been my very joy to find At every turning of the road The strong arm of a comrade kind To help me onward with my load; And since I have no gold to give, And love alone must make amends, My only prayer is,'while I live, God make me worthy of my 'friends." .

The Address ·is a most excellent one and besides the mere matter.s of detail it abounds in noble and beautiful sentiment. We quote the closing paragraph: 'When this Communication shall have ended we shall return with high and resolute hearts to face the duties that await us. The past is secure. With radiant and smiling face the future beckons us ever onward and upward. Our paths may lead over rough and rugged roads, perchance beset with trials and difficulties and dangers; but with steadfast heG-rts we will press bravely on. Our chosen course may call fOr sacrifice before we scale the splendid heights of achievement. But no personal consequences shall make us hesitate. If darkness low€rs and dangers, thicken around us, we will remember the divine promise in the Great Light of Masonry, "I have been young, but now am old, yet have I not seen the righteous man forsaken,. nor his seed begging bread." Every sacrifice made in a noble cause shall have it.s sure reward. Every struggle to uplift humanity shall be crowned with glorious victory. We can take courage. The genius of Masonry, ever young and indomitable through the centuries, cannot know defeat. For, "So nigh is grandeur to our dw:,t, So near is God to man, When duty whispers low, 'Thou must,' The youth replies, 'I can.''' REPOHT OF' eRA:"'D SECRETAHY.

Ji'rom this we quote the following, which, with other revealments, indicates a happy condition of the Craft in that Jurisdiction: At the close of the last Annual Communication there were 341 chartered Lodges on the roll of Grand Lodee. Since then, as indicated above, eleven new Lodges have been formed, making the total number now on the roll 352. The membership last year was 45,836. It is now 48,315, a gain 0{ 2,479. There were initiated 3,266, passed 3,15G, raised 3,063, affiliated 1,023, restored 91, withdrawn 923, suspended for nonpayment of dues ,474, suspended al:d expelled for un-Masonic conduct 25, died 609.

The Proceedings of the Grand Lodge of Canada for the year 1912 constitute a worthy and well arranged, but "somewhat bulky, volume-501 pages. In fact, we might venture, with no idea of critici"sm, to say that in this case, and many, if not most, of others, there is unnecessary use of space in wearisome details, which greatly increase the labors of the Secretary. besides adding much to the expense in printing, postage, etc. In these days of rapid transit, consolidation and more compact organization generally, it would seem that economy of time and money might be obtained with results equally satisfactory in other respects. An excellent portrait of the M. W. Grand Master adorns the initial page, which is followed by reports of four Especial Grand Communications as follows: ESPECIAL GRAND COMMUNICATIOKS.

At Picton on the 10th of May, 1912; Carp on the 7th of June, 1912; Toronto on the 22d of June, 1912; London on the 24th of June, 1912. All these are set forth in detail with the personnel of the Acting Grand Officers and the ceremonies of the occasion; all being for the purpose of laying corner-stones, though varying in incident. FIFTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

Held at the City of Toronto on th"e 19th and 20th of July, A. D. 1912, A. L. 5912. The attendance was large and the occasion was formally introduced by a welcome from. the City of Toronto tendered by the Mayor and Chairman of Board of Aldermen, to whom the Grand Master replied in pleasant terms. Also an address on "The Craft in Toronto," presented by the twenty-five Masters of local Lodges, to which the Grand Master responded most graciously.

GHAND MASTEH'S AODHESS.

From this we quote, as the matter is of general interest:

We are now met for our Fifty-seventh Annual Communieation, to which I bid you one and all a loving and fraternal welcome. I am delighted to Eee so large and representative a gathering of the Craft. Almighty God has beel1 pleased to grant us great prosperity and harmony during the year just c1:Jsed, and in His goodness haR so guided the minds of my Masonic Brethren that your Grand Master has found courteous attention and loving obedience to his wishes to prevail everywhere throughout the Jurisdiction.

Since our last Annual CommunIcation His Majesty, King George the Fifth, has been graciously pleased to commit the GOvernment of Canada. to tlH~ care of His Royal Highness, the Duke of Connuught and Strathearn, brother of His late Majesty, Edward the Seventh. All Canadians were deeply gratified by this appointment, but to us Masons it had an added interest, as His Royal Highness occupies the position of Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Eng路 land, and is also an Honorary Past Grand Master of this Grand Lodge. His Majesty, King Edward VII., when he became King, considered it prudent to resign the active duties of Grand Master, and thereafter became tpe Patron of the Craft. His Royal Highness, the Duke of Connaught, on being appointed to represeilt the King in this country, has followed the precedent set by his illustrious predecessor in the office of Grand Master of England, in so far as personal active connection with Masonry is concerned, and therefore cannot be with us today. While this is so, I am commissioned by His Royal Higbness, the Grand Master of England, to convey to this Grand Lodge his fraternal greetipgs and best wishes for its continued success and prosperity.

:;:

The Grand Master refers in fitting terms to the Titanic disaster. and notables who were lost thereby. He granted Dispensations for the creation of eight new Lodges, announces the constituting and consecrating of two, and the appointment of Grand Representatives. He also granted 277 minor Dispensations, most of which "were issued to enable Lodges to attend Divine Worship." Of this he says: This is as it should be. I can think of nothing that is better calculated to bring the religious side of our Institution to notice than for Masons to attend church in large numbers frOIll time to time as may be arranged. There seems to prevail some Rensitiveness about our appearing on the streets to attend divine service or other functions clothed in regalia. No such sensitiveness prevails in the Mother Grand Lodge or in the Grand Lodge of Ireland, as functions are constantly held where the Brethren appear in regalia. I apprehend that the regalia of a Mason is a badge of honor rather than something to be ashamed of, and I would be glad to see my Lodges turn out in regalia to attend divine worship more frequently than they do.

A ppendi:r.

Touching this there is much difference of opinion and we prefer to withhold onr views at this time. FINANCIAL.

The Grand Master reports receipts to General Fund at $43,175.38 and the expenditures $45,993.15; $2,817.77 in excess of the income for the year. 路And the contributions for benevolence amounted to $32,837.50, including the sum of $4,515.00 from the income of the SemiCentennial Fund-one of the largest expenditures for benevolence in the history of the Grand Lodge. DECISIONS.

Several of these we may note.

He decides:

That 110 Brethren should be admitted or allowed to retire during tile order of balloting, if there should be two or more ballots. Declined to allow the reception of a petition for initiation froll a Penitentiary convict out 011 parole. Declined to recogn ize in any way what are called "Mason ic Social Cl ubs" ----holding that when it was intended to hold functions of any kind a Dispell~a颅 tion must be had in each instance.

Also he decided that no Lodge should occupy quarters in any socalled temple or other building in which -dancing or feasting, accompanied by drinking, was permitted. The District Deputy Grand Master's reports are given in detail, but their interest is largely for Brethren of the localities involved. CORRESPONDEN CEo

The Report on Foreign Correspondence is brief, covering some 109 pages in the review of 62 Proceedings-three for two years. It is well written and worthy, however. Missouri is accorded two page's in kindly tone and of the Correspondent the following is recorded: M. W. Bro. C. C. Woods is chairma.n of the Committee 01.1 Foreign Correspondence, and he reviews the proceedings of sixty-two Grand Lodges with ability and discretion. He cOntents himself, for the most. part. with telling his readers what. Grand Lodges have done, not in explaining what they ought to have done.

The Proceedings of the Grand Lodge of Colorado are neatly recorded in a well arranged volume of some 480 pages, reflecting credit on the publisher as well as the Grand Secretary. Five Special Grand Communications are reported on the opening pages; one for constituting a Lodge, three for laying cornerstones and one for the purpose of paying funeral honors to Past Grand Master Andrew Sagendorf, who died in Denver, August 2d, at the great age of 84 years. The Annual is further introduced by an excellent photo of Grand M3Jster Geo. E.

The M. W. Grand Lodge A. F. & A. Masons of Colorado met in its Fifty-second Annual Communication in Masonic Temple, in Denver, Colo., Tuesday, September 17, 1912, at 10 o'clock a. m., and was opened in Ample Form by M. W, Bro. H. W. Woodward, Grand Master, assisted by the other Grand Officers. After the announcement of committees the roll of deceased Past Grand Masters was called-twelve in all-and the Grand Master paid the following tribute to their memories: BRETH HEN-Let us pause for a moment before proceeding with the other business of this Annual Communication and pay our tribute of respect to these men whose names will ever be illustrious in the annals of Colorado Masonry. Through the efforts of these men and their contemporaries, the foundations of the Craft in this State have been laid deeply and firmly. Upon this foundation has a.risen an edifice, fair and beautifUl, which we trust will endure, not only for our tim", but for ail time.

Among the many' excellent characteristics of our Colorado Brothers we note none more admirable than this evidence of tender respect for the dead. At the best we are 'So soon forgotten! A large number of Grand Representatives were present and

Appendix.

duly called to approach the Grand East. Th€y were introduced by the Grand Master and welcomed in the following words: BRETHREN-It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to this, the Fifty-second Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of Colorado. Your presence here today as the accredited representatives of your various .Jurisdictions is the visible evidence of that Fraternal tie that binds us withan indissoluble chain of sincere affection into aIle band of Brothers-not as Lodges or .Jurisdictions-but as Masons wherever dispersed. You come to us not as strangers from a strange land, but as Brothers from other branches of our great Order, and as such we welcome you. I hope you will be present during this Communication and, after its close, that you will make report to your several Grand .Jurisdictions of such matters as may seem to you to be of interest.

On behalf of the Grand Representatives, M. W. Bro. William D. Todd responded as follows: lI'l. W. Grand Master:

For myself and in behalf of m.y associate Grand Representatives of the Grand Lodges, not only from our own country, but from those across the water and the isles beyond the seas, r thank you for your Fraternal greeting and kind words of welcome to the Fifty-second Annual Communication of the M. \V. Grand Lodge of Masons of Colorado. It not only a.ffords us personally unalloyed pleasure to be with you and also to assure you that our respective Grand Bodies will be equally gratified at this renewed evidence of the Fraternal feeling which now exists and we feel will continue in the years to come between the Masons of every clime and nationality. :;:

The Masonic Fraternity is one large family in its efforts towards the uplifting of the peoples of what, in this advanced and advancing age of progress, is known as "our little world." As was Burns' "Man," so is the Mason, whatever his station in life, if he believes and practices, so far as in him lies, the great principles of our noble I"raternity, whether his home is under our bright Colorado sky, in far-off Alaska, the craggy hills of auld Scotland, or the smallest part of the. habitable globe. M. W. Sir, I am sure that eac'b and all of us feel that pardonable pride in our title of a "Mason" that urges us to so live as not to tend, in the least degree, to even tar'nish it.

The Address of the Grand MaJster contains much that is interesting and which we would gladly give to our readers but· for want of space. We quote briefly: Bl'ethl'cn of the Gl'and J.,oclge:

During the year just passed, it has been Illy pl'ivilege to fill to the best of my ability what I believe to be the most honorable position in this great State of Colorado. It is now my duty t.o place before you the record of my actions as your Grand Master for your approval or disapproval. It is 1111necessary to say that the duties of the office have been exacting, as it if) a self-evident fact that t.he official head of a 1?ody of over 15,000 men must, if he undertakes his work in a conscientious spirit, find his time well occupied.

He pays a beautiful tribute to PaJst Grand Master Sagendorf, who was born August 26. 1828, and died at his home in Denver, Colo., Friday evening, August 2, 1912: "He fell like autumn fruit, that mellowed long, Even wondered at because dropped nat sooner, Till, like a clock, worn out with eating time, The wheels of weary life stood still at last." A pioneer of pioneers, through all the r-torms and vicissitudes of eightyfour years of life, our venerable and beloved Brother lived the life o-f a clean and honorable man and upright Mason. lIe witnessed the transformation of the desert into fields of waving grain and blooming orchards; he saw the splendid capital of a great and prosperous State arise and grow into stalwart strength and vigorous manhood, where during the long winter of 1858 the campfires of his own and a few other brave and hardy men glowed and sparkled beneath the shadows of the snow-capped peaks of the great Rockies. "Out of the chilI and the shadow, Into the thrill and the shine; Out of the death and the famine, Into the fullness divine; Up from the strife and the battle (Oft with shameful defeat), Up from the palm and the laureJ0, but the rest will be sweet."

DISPENSATIONS.

During the year Dispensations were granted for three new Lodges, which were in'stituted under happy auspices. Many requests were granted and many refused in accordance with the law as interpreted by the Grand Master; all for the ordinary reasons which influence such requests in the Masonic autonomy. The report on Necrology is exceptionally well written and the .selections from poetry are in 'splendid taJSte. COHHI~SI'ONJ)ENCE.

The Heport on Foreign Correspondence is from the excellent pen of our good Brother Lawrence W. Greenleaf and covers nearly 200 pages. He is kind to Missouri, according us' two and a half pages. H{)wever, he smiles gently (?) at the number of our Grand Orators-which we, of course, attribute to jealou'sly on his part,

since Missouri is unequaled in that regard-and furthermore he says: The details of the report of the Committee on Appeals and Grievances are still given publicity, which we regard as a mistake and a blemish to the volume.

From a paragraph in his "Conclusion" we judge he hardly approves the Masonic Home idea: The question of Masonic Homes is still paramount, and their establishment is so persistently advocated, that few Jurisdictions seem able to resist the temptation to indulge in this expensive luxury. Even the smaller Grand Lodges are inclined to the belief that something is lacking in their ('quipment if Masonic Home is not writ large in their annals and set as a beacon in their midst. We have no disposition to question the great good that Is being accomplished by many of these institutions, and we have never hesitated to give them full credit for the same in these reports, but Home advocacy has been carried to the limit and it is time to call a halt. Institutional charity is not to be commended to the smailer Grand Lodges, but rather the Iowa plan, with which we are in accord. The remarks of Grand Master Block, under Iowa in this report, sb:luld be read by those who are interested in the matter of affording Masonic relief in the most practical, helpful and least humiliating manner.

Representatives and visitors were present, it being the' occasion of the DEDICATION OF THE MASONIC nOME,

which ceremony took place in the afternoon of the first day of the session in the presence of a great multitude. From the formal address by Charles A. Hill, D. D., we select the following: 1\lost Worshipful Grand Master, I congratulate you, Sir, and the Most Worshipful Grand Ledge over which you preside, because this day witnesses the fruition of your hopes, and the consummation of your labors in thc dedication of this beautiful Home. I am sure that men of future generations will rise up and call you blessed; for so long as Freemasons acknowledge the tenets of their profession to be Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth; so long as they believe that men ought to aid and protect each other; so long as Masons are linked together by an indissoluble chain of sincere affection, and seek to soothe the unhappy, to sympathize with their misfortunes, to compassionate their miseries, and to restore peace to their troubled minds; so路 long as Masons shaH continue to join with heart and tongue in promoting each other's welfare and rejoicing in each other's well being, so long will this beautiful and commodious institution stand here, amonumcnt to the pru~ent forethought, generous planning and liberal giving of the Craft; so long will it stand here to throw its sheltering arms about the unfortunate and otherwise homeless, and to prove to the world that our noble Fraternity is animated by the love which delights to express itself in deeds of pure benevolence.

A fine picture of the Home is given in connection with the report of the ceremonies, and we may add here that the incorporation, regulations, etc., which are matters of detail in the Proceedings, indicate the wisdom and harmony which attended the inauguration of the 'enterprise. It was formally decided that a per capita tax of one dollar should be aJSsessed and collected each year for the support of the Home. The Address of the Grand Master indicates a careful attention to the responsibilities of his office and wisdom in discharge of its duties. He mal{es no reference to the Supreme Grand Master, except a word of invocation in the closing paragraph. He refers to the Fraternal dead in fitting words, reciting the lines: "Tbeir toils are past, their work is done And tbey are fUlly blest; They fought \he fight, the victory won, And entered into rest. '1'11cn let our sorrows cease to ftow; God has recalled his own: But let our hearts, in every woe Still say, 'Thy will be done.'''

After which there was music and prayer.

The Grand Master reported, without enumerating, many Dispensations for the usual Masonic reasons; also that he had been called on for no Decisions during the year. WASHINGTON l\TEMORIAL ASSOCIATION.

This corporation receives extended notice and large approval. It appears from statements quoted in a communication from Thos. J. Shryock, President of the Association, which is published in full, that thirty (30) of the Grand Lodges in the United States have endorsed the Association and promised support and it is further stated that ALI, of those who have not endorsed the Association are not opposed to it and it is hoped to bring them all into line! (Whieh hope, we opine, will scarcely be realized-certainly not with the consent of some particular Masons of whom we have intimate knowledge.) We are profoundly sorry the idea was ever suggested for several reasons. The Grand Lodge seems to be in fairly good condition financially and otherwise, though we note from the report of the Grand Secretary that there was a loss of forty-five members during the year. And it is possible that some of the legislation in connection with the Masonic Home may have a tendency to decrease the number applying for membership in the future. :FORELGN CORRESPONDENCE.

Masonic Temple at 7 o'clock p. m. on March 9th, 1912, and this being the Communication pre'scribed by the Constitution for the exemplification Of the Degrees, the Grand Master invited Brother William J. Naylor, chairman of the Committee on Worl{s and Lectures, to assume the East. The esoteric portions of the Degrees of Entered Apprentice, Fellow Craft and Master Mason were then exemplified, assistance in the work being rendered in Due Form and the Grand Master spoke in high praise of the proficiency of the Brethren who had conducted the worl{. A SPECIAL GRAND COi\1MUNICATION

was held at Masonic Temple, April 12th, 1912, for the purpose of laying corner-stone for the University Club Building at the corner of Fifteenth and I Streets, N. W., which ceremony is reported in extenso. An extract from the Address of the Grand Master may be of interest: To those of you who may not know the custom governing the performance of this ceremony I will say that Masonic usage permits the laying of a (~orner-stone by the Grand Lodge only in cases of public buildings owned by the government and dedicated to public use; or of churches owned by associations and dedicated to the service of God; or of a building sueh as the one to be erected here, owned by a society, of a semi-public character, from which no private gain is to be derived, and which is to be used as a gathering place by men of literary, scientific and sociological attainments, working for t.he general uplift of society and the advancement of the public interests.

We note that in the contents of the box no Bible nor anything of a religious nature is included. At the Second Stated Communication of the Grand Lodge, held May 8th, nothing of 'Special intere'st is reported. At the Third Stated Grand Communication the Address of the Grand Master refers chiefly to the Eastern Star Home,. exhorting action to complete it. The Committee on the Liquor Question reported strongly against the occupancy by Lodges of. any building in which liquor is sole:; to quote: The question in one form or another has been before many Grand Lodges and some of the bodies have taken very decided' action and in some instances have forbidden their constituent Lodges from receiving petitlons for the Degrees from any person engaged in the sale of spirit.uous liquors or intoxicating beverages. The present resolution does not propose to take from the constituent Lodges in this Jurisdiction the right of each to pass upon the moral fitness of those seeking membership, but leaves each Lodge to be the judge in tae expectation t.hat each will maintain the high Etandard called for by the

teachings of the Craft. Unquestionably, it seems to your committee, a Lodge should not be permitted to derive revenue even indirectly from trafIlc in intoxicating liquors or beverages, and furthermore, the meeting places of Lodges should be surrounded by the most wholesome atmosphere and elevating influences.

:I:

It will be 'seen from the second paragraph that a Lodge may

confer the Degrees upon a saloon keeper, if his "moral fitness" commends itself to them! And we think most of the States granting license to sell liquor require the party to be certified as a man of "good moral character." So "moral fitness" is clearly in evidence! But perhaps we misunderstand. If so we recall our suggestion. ANNUAL COMMUNICATION.

At this Communication, held December 18th, the Grand Master delivered an elaborate and interesting Address covering and reporting all the Masonic history of the year in that Grand Jurisdiction. T'wo Decisions only are reported; neither being of other than local interest. One new Lodge was created and no general Dispensations were granted, except as approved by the usages of Masonry.

SPECIAL COMMUNICATIONS.

Two Special Grand .communications are reported for the Masonic year, each for the purpose of laying the corner-stone for a public building. EIGHTY-FOURTH ANNUAL COMMUNICATION.

The M. W. Grand Lodge .of Free and Accepted Masons of the Jurisdiction of Florida assembled in its Eighty-fourth Annual Communication in the City of Jacksonville at 11 o'clock a. m., Tuesday, January' 21, A. L. 5913, A. D. 1913, and, a con'stitutional number of Grand Officers and Representatives of particular Lodges being present, was opened in Ample Form by the M. W. Grand Master, with prayer by the Grand Chaplain. After some minor incidents the M. W. Grand Master presented his Annual Repor.t, which bâ&#x201A;Źgan as follows: BRETHREN-This, the Eighty-fourth Annual Grand Communication, ftnd5 our honored and useful Fraternity in excellent condition. The Grand Lodge was organized in July, 1830, at Tallahassee, there being only three Lodges, twenty-seven enthusiastic Brethren being present. In 1832 there were four Lod;;;es, with a membership of 116. At our last Annual Grand Communication the report of our R. W.,Grand Secretary showed that there were 10,131 Master Masons, 206 chartered Lodges and 3 under dispensation. Other fraternities. not as 011 as ours, have increased more rapidly in membership.. This is largely due to the fact that oftentimes their members urgently solicit individuals in order to obtain members. In our Fraternity such solicitation iR prohibited..

Touching this last clause we respectfully sugge'st that this matter of non-solicitation is so often misunder'stood that it needs explanation. Often Brethren, even when called on by promising Ma'sonic material, decline to even suggest encouragement to a possible candidate and by their manner raise doubts in his mind as to their estimate of the value of Freemasonry, or of their loyalty to the Institution. In our own case in such a juncture we would not hesitate to strongly encourage one to apply and would even go so far as to suggest that he could not do better for himself, if his purposes are manly and exalted. ,The Grand Master pays due tribute to th~ noble dead; he re~ ports the constituting of ten new Lodges, duly chartered by the last Grand Lodge-the approval and disapproval of By-Laws of several different Lodges, and various. Dispensations for mi'scellaneous purposes. NEW LODCES.

He granted Dispensations to form ten new Lodges, specifying location and number of applicants in each case. THE HOT SPRINGS SANITARIUM.

He reported having granted permission to Hot Springs Lodge, No. 62, at Hot Sp,rings, Ark, to appeal to the several Lodges of Florida for aid. DECISIONS AND RULlNGS,-AND "DECISIONS."

He differentiates between "Dâ&#x201A;Źcisions and Rulings" and "Decisions." Under the first named he "rules" that a bookkeeper and cashier, as well as a drummer, for a liquor house, is ineligible to initiation in a Lodge, and also that an unaffiliated Mason wearing a Masonic pin and engaged in the liquor business is liable to arrest and expulsion from all the privileges of Masonry, by the local Lodge, regardless of his former location or membership-all of which "we steadfastly believe." Most of the conclusions recited would seem to have been unnecessary if the W. M. in each case was well informed in that which he should know. MASONIC 1I0ME.

Florida is preparing for a Masonic Home in the future and has accumulated a fund of some $24,000 as a foundation for the enterprise.

The One Hundred and Twenty-fifth Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons for the State of Georgia was held in the City Auditorium, in the City of Macon, commencing at 10 o'clock a. m., Tuesday, October 29, A. L. 5912. The Grand Lodge was opened in Ample Form on the Master's Degree, and with prayer by A. D. Echols, Gra.nd Chaplain. A large number of Representatives of Lodges, as also of Pa'st Grand Officers and visitors, were pres~nt, the printed list)mmediately following occupying some 24 pages. After the usual ceremonies follows the GRAl\"D MASTER'S ADDRESS.

My BELOVED BRETHREN-Lying upon a purple velvet cushion in a glass case in the Imperial Museum at Constantinople may be seen a delicately molded tongue of gold. It was found in a layer of ruins at Gezer, supposed to be ancient Jericho. This silent "tongue" yet tells to us a story. It tells of an age when gold was abundant in the land, for only where the precious metals are plentiful are they used in large quantities. There was a time when Solomon "made silver to be in Jerusalem as stones." This "tongue of gold," containing one thousand dollars' worth of the precious metal, tells of "big business" in the land of Palestine. This "tongue of gold" is supposed to be the "wedge of gold" which Acbull took and hid, and for which sin be was condignly punished. The "tongue of gold" then tells of the "root" of many evils-it warm; us of cupidity and graft. It also speaks of the end-the dreadful end-of a city and a nation, whose only monument is tlie ruins of 'Jericho, snuggling up under the cliffs of Benjamin, from under which a spring, called the fountain 'of Elisha, bursts

boldly, and sends its babbling waters down into the plain. In telling of the decadence and fall of Jericho and the cities of the plain, the "tongue of gold" grows eloquent. It tells of the time wben its nation was poor and virtuous, then prosperous and virile-two ascending stages; then of a time when the nation became rich and arrogant, luxurious and pusillanimous-two descending stages! In our own country today we have made the ascent of the two first stages, which has marked every civilization. Are we about to begin the descent by the otber historic stages? Let the "tongue of gold" from ancient Jericho warn us of the danger of arrogance and luxury! Let the teachings of Masonry serve to keep our great country in tbe ways of simplicity and truth, humility • and civic righteousness!

DECISIONS.

Several Deci'sions are reported by the Grand Master, all seemingly in accord with the general law and cnstom of the Order as well as of the Grand Lodge of Georgia. The first, however, to the effect that a man of illegitimate birth is eligible to the mysteries is contrary to the rulings in some Grand Lodges, but, in our estimate eminently wise and just. To hold a man otherwise worthy r.e·sponsil:?le for the sins· of his parents is certainly contrary to the spirit of Masonry. He recites a long list of official visitations, as also of Special and Miscellaneous Dispensations. NEW LODGES.

Evidently the order is in a flourishing condition in G€orgia, as, besides the 'sixteen Charters gra.nted, other applications for Dispensation are reported. In fact, the growth in Lodges and members for the year was most unusual. MILEAGE AND PER DIEM.

The reduction of mileage and per diem as decided on last year, also limiting the session to two days, resulted in a saving of $5,520. FINANCIAL.

The receipts of the Grand Lodge since the year 1887 have been

al1!.wst $632,000, beginning with $13,759.90 in 1887 and rising year by year until in .1911 the report is $41,549.54; a goodly increase. During this period the Masonic Home has been I erected at the cost of between thirty and forty thousand dollars.

The Masonic Home has 47 inmates: Old people-2 males, 11 females; children-13 males, 21 females. Speaking of the Home the Grand Master !Says: I am constrained to repeat the recommendation which I made to the Grand. Lodge at its last Communication, to the effect that it would be the part of wisdom for us to contribute to the maintenance of aged, indigent Masons, their wives and widows, in the locality where, they have friends and acquaintances, where they have lived for many years, rather than maintain them, in the Home. The per capita expense of maintenance in the Home is about $190.00 per year, and even one-half of this sum, with an equal contribution from the local Lodge to the beneficiary, would, as a rUle, make the aged recipients of our bounty better off in the home of some relative or friend than in the Masonic Home.

In which sentiment many will coincide. The exalted sentiments with which the Grand Master introduces and closes his Address indicate a mind of high order and a. heart in tune with all humanity. It is 'eloquent and touching. EXPULSIONS.

The Committee on Appeals and Grievances recommended the expulsion of 97 for non-payment of dues and 36 for gross un-Masonic, conduct, with various extended reports on individual cases. We had not before noted that any Grand Lodge expelled for non-payment of dues. It seems to us a very drastic remedy for this 'evil. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE.

Brother Chas. A. Bass, who was appointed in place of the lamented A. Q. Moody, thus introduces his Report: To the Most WorS7d1JfuJ, Grand llfaste1', Wardens and Brethren of the Grand Lodge of Georgia:

Moody, on the 6th day of April, 1911, laid down the pen he had wielded with such rare ability for eleven years as Foreign Corresp~nd足 ent of the Grand Lodge of Georgia and entered into that rest prepared for the people of God. ( It is not my purpose to enter the domain of the Committee on Memorials, who will pay him the just tribute his life and labors merit. But I cannot refrain from saying that one of the sweet pleasures that bas eOllle to me as his successor is in noting the many kind things his Brethren and co-workers

I wish I might gather them all together and from the gardens of their thoughts weave them into a wreath and lay them in all their fragrance on his tOp1b as evidence of their love and friendship.

He wisely considers that it is not his duty to criticise or condemn what he may deem unwise in the action of other Grand Lodges, but only to report the more 'salient and interesting items gathered from their Proceedings. His Report covers 135 pages. It is in fine form. He accords to our Grand Jurisdiction over three pages, whieh he uses in a most kindly manner. He is a worthy successor of the most excellent Brother who ha'S passed away and we accord him a most cordial welcome to the guild.

The presence of R. W. Bro. Abel Crook, Chief Commissioner of Appeals of the Grand Lodge of New York, was announced and he was introduced and received with the Grand Honors of Masonry, after which he gave an instructive and interesting address. . GRAND MASTER'S ADDRESS.

The Grand Master introduced hi'S Annual Report in well-chosen terms and then called the Grand Lodge to stand while hearing read a list of distinguished dead as reported from other Jurisdictions; no Grand or Past Grand Officers of Idaho having passed away during the year, save the venerable PalSt Grand Master, Che'Ster P. Coburn, who. died October 17th at his home in Lewistown at the age of 79 years 5 months and 14 days. The Grand Master granted one Dispensation for a new Lodge and refused one application as having been presented too near the ses'Sion of the Grand Lodge. He also in person presided at the constituting of one Lodge-Rupert, No. 65-and installed the officers. Various Dispensations or "Permissions" were granted f<?r ordinary Masonic purposes, and many questions were asked and answered, only the more important of .which are reported. The list, however, covers several pages and all seem to be in accord with the law and usages of Masonry. He presents request from Hot Springs (Ark.) Lodge for assistance in proposed Masonic building and recommends that it be granted. He presents the Washington Memorial matter, with papers, etc., without recommendation. He calls attention to the order of the Secretary of War touching Masonic or other civic emblems upon the graves in any National Cemetery and recommends immediatE action in "the matter. He recommends that the Grand Lodge require documentary evidence from vi"sitors and that the City of Boise be declared the permanent home of the Grand Lodge, with the priVilege of selecting another city for the Annual Meeting. This was adopted by the Grand Lodge with the proviso that the' Annual Meeting should not be held outside the City of Boise for two consecutive years. FINANCIAL.

The Grand Treasurer reported balance from last year with current collections as aggregating $40,798.73-with checks paid at $23,641.1l-leaving balance of all funds in his hand"sas $17,157.62. He also reported the Charity Fund as amounting to $64,268.30, most of

The Proceedings of the Grand Lodge of Illinois for the Masonic year 1912-13 constitute a bulky volume-672 pages, which, however, is not too great to be in keeping with the dignity of this Grand Jurisdiction. We are interested, however, in one fact; that our good Brother, the Grand Secretary, criticises us for using fifteen pageS' in the report of our Committee on Appeals and Grievances, whereas they, with a much larger number of cases, dismiss them all in a half column! We might retort that a careful examination would reveal a good many pages in their Proceedings which might have been condensed, or omitted altogether, with no injury to anyone, except the printer. However', we suspect that thp- good Brother objects more to the subject matter than to the space occupied, and we do r.ot differ from him very greatly. As a whole the volume is well arranged and worthy; much more so than many which come to our table. We commend the good work of all concerned. SEVENTY-THIRD ANNUAL COMMUNICATION.

On motion of Bro. Ralph H. Wheeler telegrams were 'Sent to three absent Grand Masters, regretting their inability to be present. ADDRESS OF GRAND MASTER.

The M. W. Grand Ma:ster delivered the Annual Address, from which we extract briefly:

The Grand Master of heaven and earth bas been good to us since our last meeting, and we are under obligations to Him for many evidences of His kindness, mercy, and goodness, which have been liberally sbowered upon us during tbe past twelve months. Masonically, the year has been fraught with splendid achievement and greater uplift, and we have just cause for congratulation upon the progress we have made. This morning we stand in the gateway of a new year; the questions which confront us are not of the past but of the future; the history of the year that has gone is written, and whether it be for good or evil, it is not in our power to change it. STATE OF THE FRATERNITY.

It is with satisfaction and pride that I report to you the flattering con-

dition of the Craft in Illinois. While we have instituted but eight new Lodges during the year this comparatively small number is due to the fact that no Dispensations were granted except where it was clearly shown that the best interests of the Fraternity demanded a Ledge. Our growth in the last ten years has been almost phenomenal. In 1902, the Grand Lodge of Illinois comprised 724 chartered Lodges, with a total membership of 63,034. The net gain for that year was 3,367; the report wbich the Grand Secretary will make to you this year shows that we bave 807 Lodges, with a membership in round numbers of 115,000, a gain for the year of approximately 7,000. From tbis it will be seen that at the present ra.te of increase it will be but a few years until the Grand Lodge of 111inois will number 150,000 good and true men, the flower of Illinois manhood. Who enn estima.te the power for good of this great body of men standing shoulder to shoulder in a righteous cause?

•

The Grand Master reports that 22 LOdges, chartered by the last Grand LDdge, were duly constituted during the year. Also that eight Dispensations had been i'ssued for new Lodges. Also that eight Masonic Halls had been dedicated-five in person and two by

proxy. He reports having laid the corner-stones of five Masonic T'emples, two court houses and two high school buildings, He also reports having received a request to lay the corner-stone for a church, which was afterwards recalled with the statement that there was opposition. Of this he says: This inci,dent led to some investigation on Illy part and I found that In a number of instances where the Fraternity had been invited to lay the cornerstones of chureh edifices some friction had resulted, certain members of the church objecting to the presence of the Fraternity, also to the Masonic inscription upon the stone. I have, therefore, declined to lay the corner-stones of church edifices, justifying my position with the belief that a cllnrcb Is not a public building as contemplated in the regulations of Freemasons, and that such a procedure would save the Fraternity from unnecessary embarra~sment. The corner-stone ceremony as provided by th is Grand Lod~e is purely a Masonic rite, and when performed outside of the Fraternit.y it is done merely as a matter of accommodation.

We are surprised at this incident and more surprised at the conclusion of the Grand Master. Certainly he could do no les's than to decline in this or any similar case, but to refuse absolutely to lay the corner-stone of any church and under any and all circUIIlJStances, a3 here indieated, is, in our judgment, a most drastic proceeding and would not be su'stained in our Grand Lodge at least. Of course, a Lodge should not consider for a moment the laying of a corner-stone unless well satisfie'd that it was desired by the authorities in the case, and the opposition of a few recalcitrants should not influence the matter at all. crPHJ<~R

RITUALS.

The Grand Ma'stcr found to his surprise "that hundreds of cipher rituals" were being used, some even by Grand Lodge Officers! From his full statement the case is a seri'ous one and very difficult to remedy from' the prejudice existing in favor of this most unMasonic idea as an aid to Masonry. vVe are, ourself, not only 'surprised, but amazed, at the revelation. ":MOON LODGES."

He states that. 290 Lodges路 in Illinois hold their meetings in accordance with the old idea of "on or nearest the full moon," and thinks the time has come to change this archaic practice so fruitful of misunderstanding and trouble, We heartily endorse the following:

[Sept.-Oct.

Appendix. INTELLECTUAL MASONRY.

There are many of us who can recite our Ritual from Alpha to Omega without the omission of a word or syllable, unconscious of the fact that behind the play of words lie concealed thoughts and meanings which invite our investigation and well repay us for our research. Too many Masons perform their duty like the religious devotee who recites his catechism in mechanical style, and arises from his knees conscious of but one fact-that of a duty performed. The demand of the hour is not for men who can recite the Ritual, but for men who know what that Ritual means, and who are willing to display its teachings in their daily lives and conduct. I quote from a distinguished writer, "Masonry has no use for a blind, stupid devotion vouchsafed her by 'wooden men-who do not know why they serve her, but what she loves is the intelligent loyalty of thi.nking men who have a reason for the faith that is in them."

The Grand Master reports no Decisions and nothing further new or striking is presented. The Address is most worthy altogether. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE.

This covers 225 pages and is a 'splendid piece of work. Missouri accorded almost five pages, which are kindly used, although the, Correspondent falls under a mild criticism, doubtless well merited. Referring to Louisiana and quoting the same paragraph we used last year from the Grand l\ias~er in opposing Masonic Homes, he says: IS

With a Grand Master, in his Annual Address, expressing such sentiments, it is small wonder that our Sout.hern sister celebrat.es, in lavish manner, her one hundredt.h anniversary with 110 syst.ematlc and organized provision to care for the distressed wort.hy Brother, his widow and orphan. What is everybody's business is nobody's business, is a well-.established maxim. Volunt.ary charity is idea I in contemplation and furnishes basis for saying many beautiful things about its coming as the gentle dew from heaven and a lot of other .nonsense. But such charity leaves old and feeble Masons homeless and helpless, and orphan children hungry, or left to the world's "chilly care." COS'!' NOT GREAT.

By the annual expenditure .of 35 cent.s per member, Illinois has been able to bUild, equip and maintain two superb Homes-one for aged members and indigent Masons, their wives and widows; the other for the helpless orphans o路f our deceased Brothers. Both are paid for and are great benefactions to the happy and contended families sheltered there. They are in no sense asylums, as that word is ordinarily used. A short visit to LaGrange would pro"e .(\ revelation to Brother Thibaut. Under the wise tutelage of Brother Bassett and his good wife these 100 chlldren are being cared for in such a way as to make of them useful men and women. At Sullivan almost the same number of aged and dependent men and women have a real home,

with every comfort that money can buy. All this costs each Mason in Illinois 35 cents per year. Our Brother needs to be reminded that this vile thing called "organized charity" does not take from each individual Craftsman the splendid privilege of going into his pocket to help those who need his voluntary assistance and yet who do not need to go to the Home.

the incoming Grand Master, if his photo, which serve; as frontispiece to the Proceedings of the Grand Lodge of Indiana for 1913, correctly represents him, possesses in good measure those high qualities which become the great office he holds. And we doubt not that his administration will prove as worthy as any which has gone before. It is a very happy custom of this Grand Lodge to introduce the Annual Meeting with an hour of 'exercises, consisting of music, addresses, etc. On this occasion the principal feature was an address by Grand Master Darrah, a sort of "Swan Song," so to speak, which was so thoughtful and worthy that we would be glad to reproduce it but for want of space. HoweverThe first question whieh is asked of every man at the door of Masonry is, "Do you believe in the existence of God?" and upon an affirmative answer depends his admission into this ancient and honorable society. He no more than crosses the threshold of the Lodge than upon bended knee he acknowledges that God with reverence. When brought to light he beholds before him an altar upon which is an open Bible. Now, I maintain that any institution or society of men :which exacts a belief in Deity, which practices prayer and which spreads upon its altar an open Bible has a right to exist, and that the teaching, the philosophy and the principles of such an institution are not to be underestimated in the social economy of our times.

This Report covers 142 pages in reviewing the Proceedings of 56 Grand Lodges. Two of these pages are accorded to Missouri. Nearly half of thi's is occupied with a selection from the Annual Address, and most of the rest in expressing his opinion as to the propriety of laying corner-stones for' churches. In his opening paragraph he uses the expression "buildings designated as churcllCs," whic:h sounds strangely eorning from a Master Mason It may be incidental and not intended, but it does not appeal to us as kind or complimentary. He proceeds: Our view of thi'i question is, and, in fact, always has been, that the great Masonic Fraternity should confine its labors to the erection of Masonic buildings, certainly not to the laying of the corner-stones of church buildings. It is generally known, or at least so understood, tbat there is a purely selfish object in view in soliciting the Masonic Fraternity to perform the ceremonies in cases of churches, with creeds to be observed, and nearly always it has much to do with placing, the Masonic Fraternity under obligation to assist the organization financially when they might be soliciting money shonld it be needed (and no organization of that kind was ever known to be without the need of money, and we are sure none of them ever will as long as the world stands). Onr personal view is, and has been for many years, to 110 nothing to place any of these organizations under obligations to you, or you under obligations to them.

The Proceedings of the Grand Lodge of Iowa could hardly be improved in form, appearance or make-up. In fact, it is perhaps the best Annual which has yet been issued by this Grand Jurisdiction, which is saying much, but not too mu路ch. Our Brother Parvin has long stood in the front rank of our Grand Secretaries, and Brother C. C. Clark, the Grand C9rrespondent, whose initials entitle him to peculiar distinction, has a far higher claim in the excellence of his work, which really is becoming a despair to other Correspondents! CEREMONIAL.

The opening ceremonies of the Grand Lodge, as is customary with that Jurisdiction, were elegantly formal and interesting. . The .splendid procession, with its' Knightly Escort, the great audience in the Auditorium, brightened' by the presence of the ladies of the Eastern Star, the reverently eloquent prayer of the Grand Chaplain, presentation of Grand Master, Introduction and Address of Welcome, with the most worthy response by the Grand Master, etc., all this and more constituted an occasion to be remembered. Brother James E. Bromwell, being called on by the Grand Master to respond, in form, to the Address of 'Welcome concluded a most beautiful speech with these lines: "Let Fate do her worst, there are relics of joy, Bright dreams of the past, which she carinot, destroy; \\Thich come in the night-time of sorrow and care, And bring back the features which joy used to wear.

The Address of Grand Master Hutchinson is quite long, covering some forty-six pages, but is a model in its way, and we hardly see how any part could be omitted without injury to its completeness. We are tempted to copy at many points and cannot refrain from excerpting an opening paragraph:

lie

1'0 the student's mind Masonry presents a varied field of instructive lessons. It matters little whether it is tailed a religion or not. It is' enough to say that it brings vividly before us the great truths and teachings of the Holy Bible. All our holy precepts and symbols are taken from the Biblt>, which is the foundation of all our Masonry. By it we are taught obedience to the moral law, which means more than the observance of technical rules. It means that Masons must distinguish between good and evil and right and wrong in all our dealings with all mankind. It means we must walk uprightly and act justly. We find in no ot.her book than the Dible the divine assurance of the immortality of the soul. It is the only book that gives us a clear and distinct idea of God. It leads us to feel in every walk of life our dependence on God and our constant need of Him. It brings us to a clearer and sweeter communion with God, and brings pressure to bear upon us to live and act rightly and to commit no offenses that would not stand the test of the light of day. It brings us to our knees in prayer, and causes us to lift up our voice in praise, and teaches us to "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy." All of which is a plain Masonic duty. God speed the d~y when the Christian Sabbath may be more strictly observed by all Masons, and the sound of praise and prayt>r more frequently be heard in all our lodge rooms and households. In the practice of our profession we should not forget that we are a group of pilgrim friends and brothers on our journey to that great city of love, and that the purpose of Masonry is to provide us with lights with which to see the way. As we proceed it is well for us to be wise and provide oil for OUI' lamps in case darkness overtakes us; it is well also that we steadfastly and diligently follow the y;ell-trayeled pat.h; it is also proper and fitting that we travel together in comradeship, that we may give counsel and assistance, and cheer one another on as we go with that heaven-born anthem: "Peace all earth, good will to men."

He reports the death of 639 mem bel'S" of the Jurisdiction of Iowa and refers to distinguished dead of other Jurisdictions. He reports general harmony and continued prosperity. He reports the creation of two new Lodges.

DECISIONS.

He made several Decisions, all of which were approved by the Committee on Jurisprudence-the first with "hesitation"-and we would have hesitated longer! Here are the facts: A Lodge elected a candidate for the Degrees and before his initiation a member objected to the Master to his receiving the De-, grees. In the absenee of the Master and ignorant of the objection, the Senior Warden, presiding, conferred the First Degree on the candidate. The Grand Master decided the act null and void and ordered the fee returned with explanation. Without criticism or offering our reason for differing, we yet presume to think that the candidate is, "nevertheless and notwithstanding," an E. A. of the Lodge-with an objection to advancement. An innocent party should not be made to suffer because of fault or error in administration. As it is he retains all the instruction or "light" received from the Degree and the fee besides. Also, he is under no "obligation," since the whole ceremony was "null and void." He refers to a number of minor evils, undignified and unworthy conduct among Masons, cipher rituals, etc., all of which he condemns, but in language courteous and kindly. And he pays a just compliment to the GRAND CORRESPONDENT.

Thusly: The Report on Fraternal Correspondence requires peculiar skill and particular fitness to properly路 prepare and present. I feel that I was justified in appointing Past Grand Master Charles C. Clark to present this most important Report. No Report made to our Grand Lodge is heard with more interest, and none is of more importance to lovers of good Masonic literature. The Report prepared by Past Grand Master Clark bears evidence of much thought and research, contains useful information, and is clothed in appropriate and beautiful language. It contains so much of interest to the Craft gooerally of the work being done in other Jurisdictions that I commend it to you for your careful study. "THIS IS 'AN UNUSUAL P1WCE~:DlNG."

The Grand Master argues strongly for the Washington Memorial; also for the Hot Springs Sanitarium. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE.

This covers 170 pages, and of its excellence we have already spoken. It could hardly be improved. Missouri is treated most courteously, and the Correspondent is not forgotten.

who died on January 13, 1913. His death is only mentioned in a line under the portrait, so we suppose the volume was in print before it occurred. No successor is named. The Annual Addre'ss by the Deputy Grand :M:aster is brief, but comprehensive and interesting. It was delivered at a Stated Communication <?n St. John's Day, December 27, 1912. Omitting the opening paragraph, he says: I have to congratulate the Order generally on the great progress that bas been made. Here in Dublin, recruiting from a population of only about 70,000, w,e have DO fewer than 50 Lodges. I know that in reference to the proceedings in Grand Lodge and at the Board of General Purposes lately, with regard to the institution of two new Lodges, that many Brethren were of opinion the time has now arrived when, for at least a few years, it might be desirable not to extend the number of Lodges beyond this round number of half a hundred, I do not suppose there is any city in England with a populati01~ such as we have in Dublin where there is anything approaching to the number of 50 Lodges, and we must remember that three-fourths of the population of Dublin are hostile rather than favorable to us.

The number of Masons is not given, either in the Address or elsewhere, although it appears that the Order is flourishing. The estimate we give of number and gain is obtained from other sources and is doubtless only an approximation. Congratulations are propo'sed that the Grand Lodge through its working force has done 'so much for Charity. Besides maintaining two Orphan Schools-one for girls, with 100 inmates, and one for

boys, with 101, it has given much to individuals in the form of donations, and the Charity Fund is in a most satisfactory condition. The matter seemingly of greatest importance was the modification of the proposed Home Rule law for Ireland, which was secure~ by the good work of Lord Tullibardine in the following clause: "It is hereby declared that existing enactments relative to unlawful oaths and unlawful assen)hlies in Ireland do not apply to meetings or proceedings of the Grand Lodge of Free and Accept.ed Masons of Ireland, or of any Lodge or Societ.y reeogniZ€d by the Gr'and Lodge,"

We note from the report that Vernon Lodge, No. 127, rejoiced in the distinction of being the first to open and close in the new world language, "Esperanto." We do not envy our Brothers that distinction and somewhat regret that time given to thi3 "accomplishment" was not better used. However, de gustibus non disputandu1n. Pleasant reference is made to R. W. Bro. Richard Lambert, the veteran Grand Secretary of Louisiana, probably the oldest in the world, who celebrated the sixtieth anniversary of his marriage in February, 1912. He was born in Dublin, 1828, and came to the United States in 1846. There is no Report on Correspondence and no reference thereto.

I-IUNDRlm AND 'l'WELFTH ANNl'AL COiUl\'1"lJl.\"ICATION.

The Granel Lodge of Kentucky, Free and Accepted Masons, held its One Hundred and Twelfth Annual Communication, in the Masonic Temple, Louisville, commencing Tuesday, October 15, 1912, and was opened in Ample Form on the Third Degree at 10 o'clock a. m. A large number were in attendance. We give herewith a selection from the Annual Address: With a beart full of love for you, my dear Bretbren, and praises to Him Wbo doeth all things wcll, and 'Vhose goodness and mercies follow us 8,11 the days of our lives, we are again permitted to assemble in Grand Communication, and to you, my dear Brethren, I extend a hearty and Fraternal welcomc to this, thc One Hundrcd and Twelfth Annual Communication of this Grand Lodge. To be Grand Master m€ans a great deal, and for tbe feeblc way in which 1 bave managed affairs I hope I shall not be condemncd; God knows my heart. My flcts have been honest and just towards all the Craft. The Lod!!;es throughout the State seem to be alive to the situation, and I am bappy to report that. peace and barmony prevail, and t.hat the good Lord has provided bountiful crops, for which each and everyone should be thankful. The year has been one of pleasure and also one of toil. I bave answered every call where it has been possible to so do, and have used my best efforts to put into the hearts of the Craft. t.hat it should mean much to be a Mason, and there is something for each of us to do. We have before us a great work that no one can do but you Masons, so let us awake to the situation and be about our duty, as our days are numbered and fast flying by. And wbile we are rejoicing at the success of our great work let us pause to pay a tribute of love and sorrow to our Fraternal dead. DECISIONS.

A number <?f these were reported, but all in accord with the general law of the Craft and of no special interest. NEW LODGES.

Dispensations were granted for the creation of· eleven new Lodges, and also to several Lodges whose Charters had been destroyed by fire, to continue work until the Session of the Grand Lodge. Various other Dispensations for the usual miscellaneous purposes were granted and duly reported in t.he Address. The Grand Master reported that the last note of the Masonic Temple had been paid' and that property was in good condition every way. PERPETUAL JURISDICTION.

Touching this vexed question the Grand Master deprecated the

l Sept.-Oct.

Appendix.

misunderstandings and difficulties already met, and possible in the future with reference thereto, and propos.ed the following resolution for the action of the Grand Lodge: The sovereignty of this Grand Lodge touching all Masonk matters witbin but not outside its territorial boundary is full and complete; and any of Its subordinate Lodges have the right to receive the petition of any profane or non-affiliate who is a resident of its respectIve jurisdiction and possesses the physical, mental, moral and residential Qualifications that may be required by the Constitution and Regulations of this Grand Lodge. This Grand Lodge concedes the same right and power to all otber Grand Lodges.

The Grand Lodge路 endorsed the principle set forth, but declined to pass the resolution, in the following terms:

Tue Grand Lodge of Kelltuc!,y, therefore, has always contended and consistently maintained that a Mason could be made within the .Jurisdiction of Kentucky under and by virtue of the laws thereof only; and that to concede the principle of Perpetual .Jurisdiction, a principle that has existence only by virtue of the enactment of some other Grand Lodge, is to concede that such other Grand Lodge may project its own legislation beyond its boundarIes and within the territory of the Grand Lodge of Kentucky, where they take rank above the laws of the Grand Lodge of Kentucky, in derogation thereof, and virtually in effect repeallng them. This it cannot and will not do. For the last twenty years there has been gradually growing a tendency on the part of Grand Lodges on the American continent, where this law alone has recognition, to recede therefrom and to establish periods less than perpetual, usually about five years. Such legislation, however, is as obnoxious as the other, as it founds itself upon the same principle. It is the opinion of your committee that no good whatever will result in an effort upon the part. of this Grand Lodge to endeavor to Induce other Grand Lodges which hold to the doctrine of Perpetual Jurisdiction to recede therefrom. They must be left to the effect of time, and your committee so recommends.

A LODGE OF SMALL DIMENSIONS.

Touching the matter of certain Lodges declining to 'sustain the Masonic Home Journal, the Grand Master wrote to one, reciting the fact that the Lodge, with two others likewise refusing to support the Home Journal, although the actual cost to the entire membership was only $21.25, had received from the Home benefits to the amount of more than $3,000.00 in the support of their orphans, and he further adds that in his judgment the propriety of continuing. such. a Lodge is doubtful. He proposed, he stated, to hold the question of arrest of Charter under advisement. Good! Such insignificant Lodges are a disgrace to the Fraternity. The Masonic Home has been very fruitful of discord as a factor in Kentucky Masonry, but

The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Ancient ~ree and Accepted Masons of the State of Maine met in Annual Communication in Masonic Temple, Portland, Tuesday, Ma짜 6, 1913, at 9 o'clock in the morning, and was opened in Ample Form in the presence of Representatives of most of the Subordinate Lodges, besides the Grand and Past Grand Officers and visitors. The Grand Chaplain offered prayer. The usual committees were appointed. The Grand Tyler was authorized to appoint four assistants! ANNUAL ADDRESS.

From this we quote briefly because it is worthy, and we would likewise give a specimen of the style and sentiment. Brethren of the Grand Lodge:

Ninety-fourth Annual Communication to open a new Masonic year; and I am glad, indeed, to be vouchsafed the privilege of bidding you, one and all, a cordial and fraternal welcome.

Events of world-wide importance have transpired and lllany of them passed into bistory since we last met in this Temple. Nations bave joined together in a common purpose and have waged a successful war in the cause of humanity and freedom, rescuing a civilized people from generations of oppression and persecution, and securing to them a measure of religions as well as civil liberty.

He refers to the war in Mexico and the restless conditions troubling other nations, making a strong plea for peace, in which he quotes the following: Angel of Peace, thou hast wandered too long! Spread tby white wings to tbe sunshine of love! Come wbile our voices are blended in song,-Fly to our ark like the storm-beaten dove, Fly to our ark on the wings of the dove, Speed o'er tbe far-sounding billows of song, Crowned with tbine olive-leaf garland of love; Allgel of Peace, thou bast waited too long!

NECROLOGY.

He reports the death of 553 members during the year, and pays a tribute to them and the dead of other Jurisdictions. ATTENDING DIVJNE SEHVICE.

He reminds them that the last Grand Lodge authorized the Lodges to attend divine service without Special Dispensation, stnting that probably a Dispensation for this purpose had never been refused! With no disposition to criticise in the slightest measure, we suggest that opening this door so widely is somewhat risky and the privilege is liable to be abused. It is all right to attend church, and all good men should do so, but wh.ether it is well to use the church and the Sabbath to advertise our Order is very questionable. We think the disposition among Grand Lodges is to stop this custom altogether. DISPENSATIONS.

Many Dispensations for minor purposes were granted, and a special privilege accorded to organize and hold a semi-permanent Lodge of Instruction-that is, to meet under certain regulations,

during the pleasure of the Grand Master. It would seem to us that any Lodge or any number .of Masons might meet and practice the ceremonies and Ritual of the Order without opening any Lodge, and without violating any obligation. ITe reports the recognition of the Grand Lodge of Porto Rico ancI the application of the Dominican Grand Lodge for recognition. lIe 'reports the appeal of the flood sufferers in Ohio and the response in the sum of $500. He refers a petition for Dispensation for new Lodge to the Grand Lodge, as the application is presented late in the :l\Jasonic year. DECISIONS.

He reports no Decisions during the year, having been able generally to satisfy all doubts coming to him by reference to existing laws. FINANCIAL.

The Grand Treasurer reports all funds as aggregating $20,419.69, and expenditures as being $9,658.47. GRAND SECHI~TAHY'S REPORT.

This states that returns have been received from all of the 203 Lodges. Also that the gain in members is 527, almost 1.8 per cent, a decrease from last year, when it was 564. That the death rate is 18.84 to a thousand, a decrease from last year. The average Lodge membership is 147.15. NO J\lASONIC ]-fOnm.

After hearing the report of the committee appointed last year to consider the proprjety of undertaking a Masonic Home, the Grand Lodge unanimously decided that "the proposition to have a Masonic Home in the Jurisdiction of Maine be indefinitely postponed." IU<:POHT ON

EXTRACT FROM ADDRESS.

With bowed heads, yet thankful hearts, we have rendered our obeisance to the Supreme Ruler of Heaven and Earth, and given expression of our gratitude that we are permitted to gather here and engage in the important duties that have been entrusted to our care.

Let us earnestly pray that our deliberations may be richly blessed, and that our labors may result in good to ourselves, prosperity to our Fr.aternity and benefit to our fellow. men; that peace and harmony may prevail; that we may each of us use our most earnest endeavors to legislate for the best interest and advancement of the Craft in Manitoba. Freemasonry teaches the things that are noble and true. We are urged by its lessons in the most forcible manner to perform such duties and be guided by such principles as will make us good, true and better men in all the relations of life. We recognize its grandeur-its history is one of which every Mason should be proud. So it is necessary that we should use our best judgment that we m'ay bring no reproach upon our ancient and honorable Institution.

The Masonic Order seems so wonderful to me that I think the Most High must have inspired our founders to make it the unit of all creeds. The Order is not meant to take the place of the church or religion, b'ut nevertheless it combines the different faiths in a unit, where no contention exists.

The spirit and detail of the Address is most excellent. He evidences reverence for the G. IVr. U. and tender memory of the Fraternal Dead. He reports general prosperity throughout the Grand Jurisdiction, peace and harmony prevailing. He states that Lodges of Instruction were held in each of the nine districts. LODGE ATTENDANCE.

His remarks with reference to regard for the individual Lodge and faithful attendance are most worthy and wise:

The real seat of interest must always be in the Subordinate Lodge. The oldu members of the Grand Lodge, who have been coming here for many years, have a natural attachment for the Grand Lodge as such, but I believe it is true that no Mason will long keep a true and warm interest in Masonic matters if he negleets his Subordinate Lodge, attends nune of its meetings, and gets out of touch with its membership. Our Masonic obligations were taken at the altar of a Subordinate Lodge, and it is by gath-ering round that same altar that we are most likely to preserve its binding effect on mind and conscience. It was in a Subordinate

Lodge that we first obsel'ved the chaste beauty of Mascnic ~Yll1buh;, aud thp,re tlHit we first heard the lofty principies of right living that Masonry inculcates. It is by regular attendance at the Subordinate Lodge that thc light by which 1'1asol1s work and livc may most sur-:lly continue to shine and illumine cur minds and make plain the path of duty. IN FOREIGN LANDS.

During the year the Grand Master made an extensive tour, passing through the United States, the Hawaiian Islands, China and Japa.n.. He met Brethren from many lands, an? records with appreciation the many courtesies extended. Many letters were received from absent members, expressing regret at not being able to attend. FHATEI{NAL GHEETINGS.

Telegrams were received from the Grand Lodges of Saskatchewan and the Grand Lodge of Nova Scotia, freighted with congratulations and good wishes, to which suitable responses were sent through the Grand Secretary. HONORARY PAST GRAND MASTER.

The rank of Honorary Past Grand Master was formally voted to R.. W. Bro. John W. Harris, who for thirty-seven years has been faithful in devotion to the Grand Lodge and the interests of the Craft. in general. The financial condition of the Grand Lodge seems quite satisfactory. There is 'no report on Foreign Correspondence, although a committee was duly appointed.

COATS,

The First Grand Master of Maryland, 1783-1791. The ceremonies were elaborate and interesting, the address being delivered by John M. Carter, Past Grand Master, which was of a high order specially emphasizing the fact of this being the one hundred and twenty-fifth anniversary of the organization of the Grand Lodg-e of Maryland. This was followed by a banquet and the SE1\lI-ANNUAL COl\1.MU;';ICATION.

...

The regular Semi-Annual Communication was held at Easton, Md., on the second Tuesday of May, it being- the two hundred and forty-ninth since the organization of the Grand I ..odge. The Grand Lodge was opened and the Grand Master, Thomas J. Shryock, introduced with the usual ceremonies, who, after a general and unwritten talk on matters affecting the interest of the Craft, called on R. VV'. Bro. G. A, Eitel, who read a paper on the history of the organization of the Grand Lodge from the "first and original record book, written at the time, June 17, 1783." Brother Oswald Tilghman, of Coats Lodge, was then introduced by the Grand Master and delivered a strong address, detailing in fine form the history of the Grand Lodge from its formation, and dwelling with loving interest on the character of the first Grand Master. He was followed by the Grand Chaplain, Rev. Henry Branch, D. D., who read an elaborate paper prepared by Bro. Edward, Historian of the Grand Lodge of Maryland, from which we .extract two or three opening paragraphs. 'Vhence came Freemaeonry? Masons and non-Masons alike agree that it is of great antiquity, but where and when did it originate'! Everything mundane has a beginning; when, then, was Masonry's beginning? The young student of Masonry or the credulous Brother may say, "Why, these questions were fully answered' in a history of our Fraternity written nearly two hundred years ago." Yes. that is true. On St. John the Baptist's Day, June 24, 1717, an assemblage of Masons was held at the "Goose and Gridiron" tavern in the city of London, in compliance with a resolution adopted by the four old Lodges of London and some other old Brethren, to revive Masonry, which had fallen into great disorder, to revive the quarterly communications of the officers of Lodges, to hold an annual assemblage and feast and to choose a Grand Master among themselves.

This he did in his Book of Constitutions, which was published in 1723., embodying the proceedings of the various conventions, ancient cbarges and regulations. In this history Masonry is made coeval with the creation of the world, and throughout geometry and Masonry are treated synonymously. Adam and his SOilS, Cain and Seth, Noah and his three sons, Japhet, Shem and Ham, as well as Abraham and all the patriarchs, Moses and other prominent personages mentioned In the Bible down to the time of Solomon, are all styled Grand Masters. Unfortunatcly, much of this history is regarded as entirely too fabulous in character to be accepted as veritable history. That Anderson did not Invent this history or manufacture it from whole cloth is eviden路ced by the fact that since his time many ancient writings have been brought to light from which it is manifest that the earliest part, at least, of Anderson's history was compiled from them.

He avows a belief in the Solomonic origin of Masonry and finally seems to conclude that, even if his argument for 2,500 years is not accepted and we Ioefer our origin t.o the days of St. Albans, or Athelstone, our Order is yet a thousand years old, the oldest of any human institution. SPECIAL GRAND COMMUNICATIoN.

A Special Grand Communication was held at Cumberland, Md., November 12, 1912, for the purpose of dedicating the new Masonic Temple. The exercises were full of interest and largely attended. The conclusion of the service is thus reported: The Most Worsbipful Grand Master announced that he WOUld, in honor of and as a compliment to R. W. Bro. Thomas Footer for Invaluable service. rendered to the Craft, confer upon his son, Harry Footer, the high honor of making him a Mason at slgbt, which he did in Full Form. No furtber business coming before the Grand Lodge it was closed in Ample Form, with prayer by the Grand Chaplain.

ANNU AL COl\fi\fUNICATION.

The One Hundred and Twenty-sixth Annual Communication was held at the usual place-Masonic Temple in Baltimore, on November 19th, at 8 p. m., and was largely formal, the principal business being Reports of Committees, etc., which, with lists of members, occupy many pages.

November 10, a Special Communication of the Grand Lod~e was held at Medford Hillside, in the City of Medford, for the purpose of laying the cornerstone o( the Hillside Methodist Church,

The Quarterly Communication, held March 13th, being the first of the year, was marked by no special feature of unusual interest. Past Grand Master A. L, Fitzgerald, of Nevada, was a visitor and was received and recognized in his proper rank. The Grand Officers elected at the Annual or Fourth Quarterly Communication were duly installed. Report on Necrology was received; Greetings presented to the Duke of Connaught, and the Committee on' Foreign Relations reported touching the Grand Orient of Italy, advising nonrecognition. At the Quarterly Communication held December 11th, which is the more important, corresponding nearly to our Annual Communication, the Grand Master presented an elaborate and strong ADDRESS

from which we quote a paragraph here and there. In his salutation he recognizes the Supreme Grand Master in reverent terms: Our gratitude is due to the Supreme Ruler of all for the measure of health and prosperity which has been ours during the past year. For His continued favor we should offer the best t.hought and the best effort possible. Not contont with present attainm.ent, it becomes us to push forward with firm resolve to achieve, under His blessing and guidance, greater succes::;, more permanent results. Our Fraternity in this Commonwealth renders the Ritual with commendable accuracy, adds yearly to its membership, and maintains an honored position in the great Masonic family, But I long to see a greater enthusiasm in the exemplification of its principles, a 1110re exact conformity to its professed virtues, and a greater desire to extend the beneficent aims of our Institution. Our pri,nciples, humane and moral, are the world's need. Masses of men could be made better, stronger, more worthy of the blessings of a free government, if they accepted and exemplified our noble principles. Our population is cosmopolitan. Within our borders are found men of nearly every race and sect, 'Ve declare Freemasonry to be universal, and yet as individuals we yield too often to prejudices on account of blood or faith. It is our duty to ,seek the uplifting of every man worthy to be of our number,

The Grand Master granted many Dispensations and refused many; made many visitations, official and social, and, touching the worK of the Lodges, says that the number of rejections this year have been 855, as against 781 last year. MASONIC HOME.

The inauguration of a Masonic Home has been attended with the usual difficulties and disappointments and with quite unusual expense. l!'rom the report of committee we quote: For the average of twenty-four residents during the year 1912, cbarging up against them tbe cost of administration, bouse expense, heat, light, and power, maintenance of real estate and machinery, insurance and miscellaneous expenses, that is, the total current Expense, the cost per person has been $748.13. If the full capacity of the present plant-say fifty--was reached, the estimated expenS0 would be $476.(j2-about $300 less per person; the cost of maintenance of the plant, including fuel and light, repairs, insurance and wages, being dividE.d among the greater number.

From the wisdom and zeal of the Brethren, however, we confidently expect a much better result than here indicated, and fuBy believe that in coming years the Home will show itself to be much more than a mere sentiment-that it will become a philanthropy worthy of its cost, its purpose and its supporters. There is no report on Foreign Correspondence.

ment arIsmg out of the unhappy and continuous struggle between the warring political parties in the Republic of Mexico have greatly interfered with thE} work and consequent progress of the Fraternity, to which may; be added the drawback or impediment of another party of Masons-daiming to be -legitimate and demanding recognition as a regular Grand Lodge. The volume opens with a photo of the incoming Grand Master, E. T. Craig, accompanied by a brief sketch which shows him to be a native of England and forty-three years of age. In the absence of the Grand Master, who could not be present on account of the disturbed condition of the country, he presided and also pre'Sented an Address, requesting that it be read in all the Lodges, a'S it is explanatory of present difficulties, etc. It is an earnest admonition to Masonic fidelity. After the usual ceremonies of opening, various matters of minor importance were considered, and one of more than ordinary interest. touching the request of a Lodge titled Obreros del Silentio, No.1, seceding from the so-called Grand Lodge of Nuevo Leon, working in Spanish and in the Scottish Rite, for recognition and adoption into this Grand Lodge, de-siring also to continue working in the Scottish Rite. It was finally referred to a committee with power to act, but with instruction to confer with Monterey Lodge, near by, before deciding the matter. We await the conclusion with some interest, frankly stating that we would not like to be on that committee. Brother Ernest Tudor Craig was elected Grand Master and Brother H. G. -Perkins Grand Secretary, our excellent Brother, F_ E. Young, the former Secretary, declining re-election on the ground of leaving the Jurisdiction. The Address of the absent Grand Ma'ster was read and from it we quote briefly: BRETHREN-Under the Providence of God we are assembled today in our Fifty-third Annual Communication, in the termination of a period which will go down in history as one of the most turbulent in the annals of t.his Republic in which we have elected to make our homes. This past year, during which J have had the honor of being your Grand Master, has been one of deplorable strife, and as a consequence of which the voice of mournin~ is heard over the land, "Rachel weeping for her children, for they are not." Under such conditions it is remarl{able that the work of Masonry in this Grand Jurisdiction should have made such good progress. Every effort bas been bent to the one end, that of encouraging those who have remained steadfast in the fulfillment of their several duties, and to thc support of those Lodges whose membership had been so depleted by the steady exodus consequent upon the revolution, that only with difficulty in some of the Lodges

could a quorum be secured. Great credit is due to the Brethren who have held their Lodges in existence, and it speaks volumes for the spirit animating our Fraternity that notwithstanding the discouraging surroundings some little progress has been accomplished.

The Repor,t 011 Correspondence covers 36 of the 129 pages of the Annual, and is well written. We appreciate the good words of our Brother.

The Grand Lodge is to be congratulated on th~ good taste and ability o( the Grand Secretary, as well as the excellent work of the publisher. As is his custom, our wise Brother 'Winsor introduces a fine sepia photo of the Grand Master on the first page, and then to intensify the impression he follows on the next page with a fine page of vignettes or ovals of the other Grand Officers. SIX'l'Y-NINTH ANNUAL COMMUNICATION.

The Annual Session was held in the City of Lansing, Mich., in the Masonic Temple, beginning its work at high twelve on Tuesday, May 27th, 1913. The usual ceremonies of opening being completed, the Mayor of the city, Hon. J. G. Reuter, was introduced by the Grand Master and welcomed the Grand Lodge in courteous terms. In part he spoke as follows: The institution of Masonry is ancient and honorable. It is ancient and long-lived because it is founded upon the eternal principles of justice, and it is honorable because the members who compose the great body of Masonry have ,endeavored to exemplify those principles in all conditions of life. It makes but little difference that we can trace the institution back into antiquity; it is not that fact that makes it honorable, but rather that it has stood as a shield and protection to the oppressed in all time.

A fitting response was made by the Grand Chaplain. ROLL OF HONan.

The Grand Secretary called the Roll of Honor-that is, the list of Past Grand Masters who have passed into the unseen. They are 36 in number, and there has been no addition during the year. Fourteen living Past Grand Masters were present, and a total registered attendance of 632. ADDRESS.

In his opening remarks the

Gr~nd

Master says:

One of the first lessons which Freemasonry teaches is that in all our works, great or small, begun or finished, we should seek the aid of Almighty God. It is our first duty, upon this occasion, to invoke the blessings' of the Supreme Architect of the Universe upon the work in which we are about to engage. I therefore command the utmost silence, and request all to unite with our Grand Chaplain in, an address to the Throne of Grace. Life is made up of anticipation and retrospection. We are inclined to live not in the present, but in the future and in the past. One short year ago we laid large plans for much work to be accomplished; today we meet to recount the deeds done. In the interim the process has been the same. The past, the present and the future are so interwoven that each forms a 路part of the other. They all form the life plan which each is destined to work out. "There is no end to the sky; And the stars are everywhere, And time is eternity, And the here is over there; For the common deed of the common day Are ringing bells in the far away." "To one who in the love of nature holds communion with her visible forms, she speaks a various language." So to one who in the love of Masonry performs tbose everyday duties which appertain to the office he may fill, Masonry speaks a various language, bringing messages of brotherly love and friendship and of inspiration to higher thoughts, nobler deeds and purer actions.

The Grand Master .devotes some nine pages in tender language to the distinguished dead of other Grand J?risdictions, leaving, it would seem, little for the Committee on Necrology. It is most complimentary to his mind and heart.

DISPENSATIONS.

1\1 any Dispensations were granted for the reasons usually as-

signed, and some refused. We note that quite a number were granted for the conferring of the three Degrees within less than a lunar month, which tempts us to say that any undue hurry in the work of getting a candidate through the several Degrees is rarely good for him or for Masonry. Many corner-stones were laid with imposing ceremonies and various halls and temples dedicated, which is related in detail, occupying many pages. ,'1'he Grand Master found it necessary to remove a W. M. from office during the year. He offered and rendered financial ass'istance to the flood sufferers in Ohio. He appointed Grand Representatives to a number of foreign Jurisdictions, some of which are not recognized by us. THE MASONIC HOME.

The property of the old Home at Grand Rapids was sold for $23,000 and the money covered into the treasury of the Grand Lodge. The present Home at Alma seems in good condition. Only old people are admitted, and the number now there is reported at sixty-two-35 men, whose average age is seventy-four and one-half years; 27 women, whose average age is seventy-three years. No doubt these old people are living much longer than if left in their own homes, and in most cases they are much better cared for. The average cost of maintenance is about $235. FOHEIGK COHHESPONDENCE.

The Grand Secretary has a facile pen and an excellent pair of scissors. By the bye, he should read the critiq 11e of our good Brother of New Mexico on the unhappy Missouri Correspondent. And he might also read the :r:esponse of said Missouri Correspondent. Brother 'Winsor gives us an excellent Review of the Proceedings of 65 Grand Lodges-some of them for two years-occupying nearly three hun<lrcd pages, just twice as much as is accorded to us. But then he needs room to spread himself to advantage. He gives to Missouri some four pages, nearly all of which he uses to quote t.he wise sayings of the Grand Master and the Correspondent. For the compliment, thanks.

1913.

We' can honestly commend the volume containing the records of the Grand Lodge of Minnesota for the year 1913, as being about as nearly in good form a"S we have noted in any case-or at any time.' If there be any possible criticism, it applies to all alikewhich is that unnecessary space is occupied, involving extra expense for printing and postage. In other Annuals, far more than this, we see long lists of names and detailed statements which, as it seems to us~ are unnecessary and even unsightly; yet we are in no sense an expert and our taste may be, and doubtless is, sadly deficient. THE ORNAMENTAL.

More and more our Masonic Annuals are blossoming into pictorial representations of men and things. The present volume is handsomely illustrated, beginning with the photo of Grand Master Laird, which amounts to an affidavit that he is well fed and good natured, besides being fairly well balanced at least, as his hair is parted almost exactly in the middle. Then follow:s the photo of Brother Sam.uel Emory Adams, Senior Grand Warden in 1859,. and Grand Representative for fifty years. Then Brother David W. Knowlton, Grand Treasurer, looks out (and over) the Masonic world with serious eyes, as if the great problem~ of successful finance were revolving in his massive brain. .We note that he wears his hair thin on top of his head, which is doubtless because it is so much cooler that way. Brother John Fishel, Grand Secretary, gazes into the far distance~ looking away from common men and common things, as beneath the notice of high thinkers. And not least as matter of interest is the "Loving Cup," presented to M. W. Bro. Owen Morris by Welsh Masons. It is really a thing of beauty and one of the most tasteful we have ever seen.

COM:MUNICATIO~.

The Sixtieth Annual Communication of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Mason's of Minnesota was held in the Masonic Temple, Sixth street and Smith avenue, in the City of St. PaUl, commencing at high twelve on Wednesday, January 22, A. D. 1913, A. L. 5913, all the Grand Officers present. During the session 232 Lodges were represented out of 253 on the roll. The Grand Lodge was opened in Ample Form, and after attenÂˇ tion to minor details, was called to refreshment until 2: 10 p. m., when the M. W. Grand Master pre'sented the ANNUAl. ADDRESS.

were sufficiently covered by existing laws, hence he reports but few rulings: 1. The Grand Lodge may not lay corner-stone on the Sabbath-even of a church. 2. A member when demitting and having paid dues in advance is entitled to no rebate. 3. One who has lost half of tbe first two fingers of the right hand is not disqualified for membersbip.

THE OT"D, OLD STORY.

The Grand Ma'ster refused several requests to make a MaBon "at sight:" but as he 8xplains his refusal by the words "deeming that the circumstances in eaeh case did not justify the exercise of that power," we natnrally conclude t.hat he feels that such power is vested in him as Grand Master. Which would indicate that he. his predecEssors and successors have more power than our Missouri Grand Masters. But this straw has been thoroughly threshed, so we dismiss the subject, with all possible respect for any from whose opinions Wf', differ. AS TO THE WORK.

The Grann ~:iaster does not discredit the use of improved appliances, but deprecates any undue importance attaching thereto; but as to the importcmce and value of the work itself he i's emphatic. Hear him: In the rend ilion of the work persons in attendance other than the candidate should be considered. While they have already received the degrees, they have by no means fUlly apprehended or comprehended all that is therein contained. At subsequent meetings from time to time, and as years roll by, they receive more and more ligbt. T11ings which at first. they saw but as through a glass dar},ly. they come to see face to face. Therefore, the work should be presentEd audibly enough for every person ill tbe room to easily hear. It should be presented with as much fervor and eloquence as the officer can command, but without giving, undue prominence to the eloquence, or in any way drawing attention to himself rather than the subject matter. Eloquence that simply draws attention to itself is as sounding brass and a t.inkling cymbal. True elequence vaunteth net itself, is not easily' puffed up. True eloquence call1:lot be gotten in halls of learning. It cannot, be shipped by expre3S or by freight. It must exist in the Ritual and in the occasion. 'Burning 'elcquence takes advantage of the occasion--commands every circumstance and all the surroundings to join it. in making the impression one never to be forgotten, not only by the candidate, but one never to be forgotten by those who are privileged to b8 present. Talk about any kind of a robe 0'" shifting scellel;Y eclipsing sudl e10-

qucllce! As well might you say that the beautiful tints of the rainbow eclipse the sun, or that the wondcrs of creation obscure the Creator. On the contrary, the starry heavcns only declare His glory and the spacious firmamcnt only shows His handiwork, and it is the glorious possibility of every Master of a Lodge to rise to such heights of transfiguration in the dissemination of knowledge and the inculcating of moral principles that, no matter what temporal things he may sumlllon to bis aid in the performance of his duty, there will be no danger of any accessories outsb'ining tbe innate glory of those principles which were before tbe foundation of tbe world and, which shall continue after the elements and all accessories shall lIave melted with fervent beat. However, until tbe Holy Spirit descends in sufficient power upon the officers of Lodges to enable tbem to thus powerfully exemplify the work and to use all accessorie3 as merely ministering angels, it may be well to do without so much of the accessories as are likely to become counter-attractions to the Ritual, and sanction only such as will be subservient to the onc end in view, and will gracefully play subordinate ',md assisting parts in tbe proceedings.

The Grand Treasurer reports balance and receipts as aggregating $36,997.47; with disbursements of $13,332.47, leaving a balance of $23,665.35 in ihe General Fund; and in the Widows and Orphans' Fund, $70,358.84, making a grand total in both of $94,024.19. CORREsroND~NCI~.

Our Worshipful Brother, Irving TOdd, manifestly does not altogether approve the work of the Mis.souri Correspondent-which' is not strange-yet he is not unldnd. Our mistake about the index was natural, as it was not at the beginning or end of the volume as usually is the case. Our space was limited-hence we gave to Minnesota only "one page." But we atone for it this year by giving a much greater proportion of our space. The Report covers 80 pages in a review of the Proeeedings of 64 Grand Lodges, and the work is well done.

Lodge of Mississippi, Free and Accepted Masons, was held in the City of Gulfport, on Tuesday, February eighteenth, A. L., 5913; A. D. 1913, and was happily introduced by a reception with elaborate program, the principal features of which were an address of weI路 come by the Mayor of the city and a response by the Grand Master. GRAND MASTER'S ADDRESS-PROLOGUE.

Dear Brethren of that wonderful Brotherhood whose honored representatives you are. We are now gathered with you to renew the past and plan for the future. Our anniversaries recal1 no memories of war or bloody strife. No orphan's tears are mingled with its festivities. Their approach is along the gentle pathway of peace. The Masonic Institution is eminently conservative. Marshaled under no party banner, advocating no party policy and, as such, the adherent of no particular form of government, it has during the rolling centuries been a potent agency in compassing the welfare of the State. In al1 countries and times it has numbered as its adherents the representatives of whatever was best in the existing civilizations. At al1 periods its membership has included advanced advocates of religious toleration. In the ages when the blackness of paganism shrouded the world, when cruel torture was often a part of religious rites-even then there gleamed through the darkne拢s light from Masonic altars. In the ages when idols w~re set up for worship in the Temple, when the many bowed the knee to Baal, the Craftsmen knew none other than the true and living God. At a period much less remote, when, notwithstanding the advancing strides of modern civilization, the world yet knew little of religious toleration, the creed of the Mason was "the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man," his faith the living words of the Great I Am, "as broad and general as the casing air." Eschewing every semblance of sectarianism, on every altar was found "the book," in every Lodge room the blessed symbol.

The Grand Master reports the laying of several corner-stones; the appointment of Brother Robert E. Denfield, of Duluth, as Grand Representative to the Grand Lodge of Minnesota; and the creation of SE"),N NEW LODGES.

He also reports the constitutip.g of nine Lodges which were chartered by the la:st Grand Lodge. He arrested three Charters during the year. The Address is lengthy, covering nearly fifty pages, but some forty are occupied with the report of a committee appointed by the Grand Master to investigate the case of Vicl{sburg Lodge, No. 26, which Lodge had taken the very unusual, 'if not unprecedented, course of bringing a civH snit against other Masonic Lodges for the possession of the Masonic Building. Without commenting on the merits of this extraordinary case, we need only 'State that the

committee to whom this part of the report was referred unanimously endor,sed the action of the Grand Master, further suggesting, however, as a number of the members of the Lodge were innocent parties to the transaction, that they be restored to all Masonic rights and privileges, having a Lodge and Charter under same name and number as the old Lodge. Which report was adopted. DECISIONS.

The Grand Master decided wisely, as we think, that an En~ered Apprentice may be tried and expelled for gross un-Masonic conduct, but we are somewhat doubtful as to the second decision, i. e., that an Entered Apprentice may be tried for grievances committed prior to initiation. This without any limitation or safeguard is too broad and might endanger the Ma:sonic life of any man. In concluding 'his Address, the Grand Master indulges in a paragraph of sentiment, at once beautiful and appropriate: CONCLUSION.

From the Holy Altar of Masonry the great light of God's favor has illuminated many a dark pathway and smoothed many a rough and rugged road. "Blessed art thou, thou beautiful temple, thy minarets pierce the heavens above us and cast no shadow upon the earth." "Peace be within thy walls and prosperity within thy palaces, for the Lord of Hosts is with thee, the God of Jacob is thy refuge." Like a beautiful stream rippling over the rocks and crags and pebbles of its channel thou dost flow by every door, singing ever the same sweet song of untiring love, ~Iaddening all hearts, while along thy course spring fresh and fragrant the flowers of beauty, innocence and truth, to adorn thy life and lend a lasting perfume to thy work of faith, thy labor of love. My Brethren, I have done. A little while and you wiII gather up your working tools and part upon the square. Let not the lessons of these returning seasons be lost upon you or forgotten in the busy battle of life. May the Great Architect of the Universe grant unto us all In needful supply the corn of nourishment, the wine of refreshment and the Qil of joy.

We regret to note that the Committee on Jurisprudence reaffirm the old and, as we had supposed, exploded and abandoned idea that a man born out of wedlock is ineligible to Masonry. To our mind this is unjust and cruel-altogether unworthy of Masonry. MASONIC HOME.

Altogether the volume is. neat and well arranged, containing "SOme 410 pages, of which some 265 are filled with the Report on Correspondence. FORTY-EIGHTH ANNUAl. GHAND CO:\fMUNICATJON.

The 1\1;. W. Grand Lodge of Nevada lleld its Annual Session in the Masonic Temple in the City of Reno, beginning with the usual ceremonies at 12 m. on Tuesday, June 11th, Grand Master Herman Davis presiding. The Grand L-odge was invited by the Worshipful Master of Reno L-odge, No. 13, to luncheon, to be served to members, visitors and their ladies during the session of the Grand Lodge. The Grand Lodge was then called off until 4: 30 p. m. to enable members to attend the funeral of Hon. Geo. S. Nixon, a worCIY Brother, and United States Senator from Nevada. The Grand Lodge was called to labor at 4: 30 p. m. and, after

some preliminaries, the Grand Master delivered his Annual Address, from which we extract some items of interest: BTcthren I)f the Grancl Loclge:

We have met for the Forty-eighth Annual Communication of the Grund Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Nevada, and in accordance witb our usages and laws your Grand Master now gives an account of his official act::: and rulings. It is just and fit, and in accordance with the customs of the Craft, that before entering upon the regular business of the Grand Lodge we pause and pay a tribute of respect to the many Brethren who haye since our last Regular Communication been called by our Supreme Grand Master to that Celestial Lodge above. NECROLOGY.

The love of man, next to the love of God, is a Mason's cbief duty. It devolves upon the Brotherhood, therefore, to first care for the living, but this love of our -fellow man also requires us to yield a portion of our love in sorrow for our dead. We' still love those for whom the stress of the voyage is passed and who have reached the heavenly harbor of rest. They are ours, and we are theirs. Death has snatched our Brothers from us, but we are hastening to overtake tbem, and soon will be witb them again. They were our friends and Brothers here; the friendship and the brotherhood will be firmer tbere on the eternal shore. J.: â&#x20AC;˘

The returns of constituent Lodges show an increase of seventy-five in the number of members during the year, an incrEase, to my mind, ample for a .Jurisdiction the size of Nevada. I find that most of the Lodges are slowly but surely making a more careful selection of material; yet in other Lodges many of the newer Brethren rarely attend after their "raising," which shows that the "degree-mill" has turned out a few real Masons, together with a lot of drones, who are Masons but in name only.

:};

Continuing on this subject the Grand Master relates a condition and facts in regard to different Lodges which indicates, to us at least, that the number of Lodges might be decreased by several, much to the credit of the Grand Lodge and the welfare of the Fraternity. And evidently there is need for the wise admonition he delivers: Men should be Masons at heart before they enter our portals, for the Masonic Lodge is not a reform school; the Salvation Army does excellent work along those lines. The mission of the Masonic Lodge is to take good men and make them better, not to take bad men and endeavor to make them good. In balloting the candidate should never be given the benefit of the doubt. This benefit should be accorded the Lodge.

VISITATIONS.

During my three years of service as a Grand Warden and Deputy Grand Master I accompanied the Grand Masters on most of their visitations, meeting annually with the Brethren of nearly all the Lodges within the State. It is with considerable pride, however, that I allude to the fact that I am the first Grand Master to visit everyone of the twenty-five Lodges in this Jurisdiction during his term of office. To accomplish this no less than six thousand miles were traveled by train, automobile, stage, team, horseback, and on foot; but all the hardships undergone were amply repaid by the welcome extended the Grand Master by the Brethren of Nevada.

On September 30, 1911, I paid a visit to Tuscarora Lodge, No. 21. This trip called for a ride of eighty-four miles in a blinding snow storm over desert and mountain roads, but the warm welcome given by the Brethren and the pleasant hours spent with the members of this small yet strong and careful Lodge repaid me a hundredfold for the hardships undergone.

This pain'staking zeal of the Grand Master is most commendable and it is to be regretted that he found so much to condemn-for instance: It was with a feeling of humiliation that I noted that the Senior Warden and the Treasurer were engaged In the saloon business, and the "place of business" of one of the' members, an elected officer and a Past Master, was no better than a Barbary Coast dive in San Francisco is reputed to be. It is a pitiable fact that after our Grand Lodge has declared saloon-keepers to be . ineligible to apply for membership within this Jurisdiction that a Lodge should violate the spirit of our laws and the usages of the Fraternity as to place such men in Lodge offices, and shows either a lamentable deficiency of material with which to till offices or an exceptionally low standard of morals in this particular Lodge. It is well enough to prate and preach of the "rights of individual Lodges" and continually cry against the enactment of laws affecting the liquor dealer, and sa.y, "Let the blackball guard against the drunkard and the rumseller; let the Ma.sters do their duty; do not interfere with the Lodge's rights," but these continual and long arguments come mainly from those who, for some reason best known to themselves, desire to protect the whisky seller in his deadly traffic, or have not the moral courage to speak for what they know is right, or from those who have not lo~ked carefUlly into this matter in this Jur.isdiction, as I have tried to do. We are confronted with facts, not theories. The wrongful acts of one Lodge bring disgrace on the entire Fraternity; and not only are saloon keepers and dive keepers elected as Masters of Lodges, but men who have put lust above honor and rent their property for houses of ill fame are likewise elected and serve as Masters in some Lodges. DISPENSATIONS.

The Grand Master refused the application of a Lodge to ballot on the application of eighteen (18) rejected candidates. Altogether the state of affairs revealed in the Address of the

Appendix.

Grand Master excites our sympathy for him and every other good and true man connected with the Fraternity in that Grand Juri'sdiction. Evidently there has been a very great laxity in past administrations. l'HI<; WASHINGTON MONUMENT ASSOCIATION.

Referring to this, the Grand Master disapproves any favorable action by the Grand Lodge and expresses the opinion that the Grand Lodge should not endorse or aid the acts of any individual corporation even if all are Masons. The financial condition of the Grand Lodge seems very satisfactory, and general harmony prevails with a good hope of better things fo.r the future. GRAND COl'lfl\HSSIONER OF REVIEW.

Such is the title accorded the Chairman of Committee on Correspondence, and his good work shows him worthy of this exalted position. We had presumed to use the term "Grand Correspondent" sometimes, by way of shortening the usual expression and unless forbidden by our Grand Lodge will continue to do so, as it 'Sounds well ~nd takes less time, strength and ink. Brother Vanderleith fills some 260 pages most worthily with his report, showing himself a careful reader and. wise in 'selection and conuilent. He is kind to Missouri, thus evidencing a brotherly spirit which we sincerely appreciate, and we sincerely regret that we had not received the Proceedings of the Grand Lodge of Nevada in time for review. We could not be so discourteous as to overlook so worthy a volume.

the initial page of the Proceedings of the Grand Lodge of Nevada for 1913, and there is withal a look of relief on his face, as if, while appreciating the honor, he was yet glad to be free from its responsibilities. And any conscientious man who has had this experience can easily sympathize with him. SPECIAL COMMUNICATION S.

Three Special Grand Communications were held during the year: one for the dedication of a Masonic Hall and two for the laying of corner-stones-the last was made especially significant by a splendid address from the Grand Chaplain, R. W. Bro. Lloyd B. Thomas, which we would be glad to copy in full, not for its eloquence alone, although that is pleasing, but particularly' for its great lessons. We must give a sample:

Certainly the most distinctive American institution is the public school. Hand in hand with the development of American democracy has ?;Olle the development of wide-spread public education. In 1621 the citizens of New Amsterdam established the first public schcol. In his last will and testament that great~st citizen of the new Am路erican nation, an honored Mason, George Washington, provided a legacy for the fou'ndation of a national university.

We are here to lay a corner-stone, to try it and test it by the square, the level, and the plumb. We are here to emphasize the truth that character is weak and liable to failure which is not tried and tested by these implements, spiritually applied. Upon the proficiency of our work here depends the stability of this edifice. The corner-stone is laid to give strength and sureness to the walls to he built about it. It is to bind the corner, it is to furnish a sure guide, for the workers. How necessary it is, then, that this stone be laid absolutely true, with utmost exactness! So the truth is emphasized that carefulness and conscientiousness must attend the laying of the foundations of charader, that if the work we do in life is to abide it must stand the test of every principle, every ideal of morality.

The corner-stone of morality' is religion-a belief in and a reliance upon the One Supreme Being, the Great Architect of the Universe. By whatever name He may be called, by whatever ceremonies He may be worshiped, dependence upon God, acknowledgment of His will, is essential to stable morality. May I quote again from that good Mason, our first and greatest citizen, Washington: "Let us with caution," he says in his farewell address, "let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion." More and more it is becoming apparent among educators that in our public schools room must be founl1 for some phase or form of religious education.

FOHTY-NJNTH AN NUAL COMl\lUNICATJON.

The Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of Nevada was held in the City of Reno, beginning its labors at 12 m., June 10th. Opened with usual ceremonies in the presence of a large assembly of Grand and Past Grand Officers, Representatives of Lodges and visitors. ANNUAL ADDHESS.

The Address of the Grand Master is a model in. much-in fact, it is a masterpiece in the brilliancy of its thought and the beauty and purity of its diction. We never come upon such output of human genius in our incursions among the workshops of our fellow craftsmen without a keen desire to exhibit it to the world, but our limitations forbid more than a mere extract, which is really tantalizing in that it whets the appetite for more. We give here only a quotation from the introduction: "One which was a Pharisee, said, tempting Him: 'Tell us the chief commandments of the law!' Then, as the jewel merchant spreads forth gems, And takes, from all his treasures of the deep, The two great gleaming pearls of all his pearls, To set them, matchless, in the encircling gold Shining apart-from all the law. he plucked These two chief precepts, sternly answering: 'Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, And with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first great command.' He said; 'And like unto it t.hat which followeth it: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. He that loveth his neighbor hath fulfilled the law.' "

NECROLOGY.

With a few tender preliminary words, he calls the Grand Lodge to attention while the Grand Secretary calls the roll of those who have passed away. COMPLIl\'[El'ITARY.

He reports many invitations to attend f~nctions and meetings of moment in other Grand Jurisdictions. The -Grand Master also reports at length a great number of official invitations throughout the Grand Jurisdiction.

Appendix.

[Sept.-Oct.

DECISIONS.

He decides that having lost the index finger of the right hand is a bar to admission. Also that member or members declining to vote on any question does not render the action of the Lodge illegal or void. Also that a corner-stone cannot be laid on Sunday. Several other Decisions are reported; for the most part, however, they are local in application. As to the first we can hardly approve, although we may be in error. He reports that relief was asked and granted in a generous sum to the flood sufferers of Ohio and Indiana.

MASONIC HOME.

He reports that twenty-nine Grand Jurisdictions have established, or are about to establish, Masonic Homes and that Nevada should take steps' in that direction at once, which recommendation was endorsed by the appointing of a committee looking to that end. He also recommends that the law be so amended as that a Lodge may bury a member suspended for nonpayment of dues, but must not incur or pay any expenses connected therewith; goodbut we' would not emphasize the last point. Let the Lodge be free in this matter. Closing his Address the Grand Master uses this bea:utiful figure: Crumbled into dust is the Temple reared by the two kings and the Master Builder: the Lo'rd's chosen people are scattered here and there throughout the length and breadth of the world, no longer a nation. "No more the pageantry and pomp of power; no more the crowds of busy craftsmen, hastening to execute thy deep designs." Fashioned from the dust and buildcd upon the ruins of that ancient Temple rises heavenward another structure that shall endure, because it is dedicated to. moral uplift, social be~terment, mutual helpfulness and universal brotherhood.

The Committee, in the main, approved all the Decisions save only the nineteenth, which was to the effect that a Lodge could not continue its communication after midnight on the regular day or the day appointed. They also declined to endorse the recommendation as to the burial of a member suspended for nonpayment of dues. Rev. Lloyd B. Thomas, Grand Orator, seems full of good things, as his oration fully equals the splendid deliverance before mentioned. It is really great; the subject is-"The Fellowship of Workers."

The Proceedings of the Grand Lodge of New Brunswick for the year 1912 came to us in a neat volume of 118 pages, containing practically all that is necessary to be giv:en out. rrhere is no index, which render's the examination somewhat tedious, and there is no Report on Correspondence; in fact, the subject is not mentioned, we think, at all. SPECIAL COMl\f UNICATION.

A Special Grand Communication was held in the City of St. Johns, N. B., July 28th, and the Grand Lodge having been opened in Ample Form, the M. W. Grand Master briefly stated that he had called this Communication for the purpose of having Grand Lodge and the Brethren of the City Lodges attend Divine Service in Trinity Church. A procession of the City Lodges, and the Grand Lodge, was then formed and proceeded to the Church where the service was held, the Grand Chaplain preaching the sermon.

BTethren of Gran(Z T.AJdge:

Though it seems but a brief period since we last met in Grand Lodge, yet another year has .been added to the history of Masonry in this Jurisdiction-a year filled with its cares and responsibilities, its joys and pleasures-and onCl:more I stand before you to give an account of my stewardship and extend to you a cordial and Fraternal welcome to this the Forty-fifth Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of New Brunswick. We have met here today to pass in review the events of the past year and to adopt measures for the future, and it is my earnest desire that a spirit of true brotherly love lllay characterize all our deliberations, .that we may strive to promote the highest good of our beloved Order, and that the results attained may be for the advancement of the Craft throughout this Grand Jurisdiction. This can only be done, my Brothers, by continually keeping before us the importance of our mission, and by fostering in our hearts the cardinal principles on which our Institution is based.

The Grand Master refers in kindly tones to the Fraternal dead; he reports various visits official and social; states that the Order is in prosperous eondition, with substantial gain's in membership, and that peace and harmony prevail, and pleasant relations have prevailed with other Grand Jurisdictions.

The volume of Proceedings for 1913 indicates ability to do good work on the part of the Grand Secretary and a conscientious discharge of duty as such, and also as Grand Correspondent, he filling both offices. As the Grand Jurisdiction is not a large one, he can perhaps do this without too great a tax on time and strength. Several good photos of Past Grand Officers add to the attractiveness of the volume and the detailed report of Special Grand Communications for dedicating a hall, and several others, not called Grand Communications, but in effect such, for the purpose of instruction and termed Lodges of Instruction, were complimented by the presence of the Grand Master and other Grand Officers. SEM!-Al'il'iUAL GUANO COMMUl\:ICATION.

This, the Fifty-fourth in regular notation, was held at Freemasons' Hall in the City of Manchester, Friday, December 27th, 1912, with a large attendance of members and many distinguished visitors. After an informal welcome to the meeting the Grand Magter announced that the several Degrees of Ancient Craft Masonry would be conferred in the afternoon and evening by three Lodges which he indicated. He also asked all to visit the Masonic Home. ANNUAL COMlItUNICATlO.N.

list of Fraternal dead, according to each a distinct and worthy paragraph. This, being accompanied by photos of many, if not most, of those mentioned, is more than usually interesting. It is to be noted as unusual, that he, at the close of his Address on this subject, called the Brethren to worship and asked the Grand Chaplain to lead in the Lord's Prayer. He announces no Decisions. but路 many Dispensations for the reasons usually assigned. THE ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY.

He refers to the coming Anniversary and recommends the appointment of a committee to arrange for a suitable celebration. HONORS TO DECEASED GRAND MASTERS.

The Grand l\iaster refers to a former action recommending that the various Lodges should locate the graves of Past Grand Masters and should annually visit and recognize them with a tribute of flowers. As to this we think that it might be well to have a Masonic Memorial and Decoration Day, not restricted to Grand Masters in its accord of honors, but including all those who have died in good standing. With this understanding we would vote for the suggestion. MASONIC HOME.

This wQrthy institution seems to be in good condition. The cost of the property was $28,000. The cost of maintenance last year was $7,265.80. As there were thirteen inmates, the per capita is therefore nearly $559. All the inmates are old people. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE.

We have already noted the good work of Brother Cheney in this, and need only to add that he gives an excellent report of the Proceedings of sixty-two Grand Lodges-two for two years-in 176 pages, of which our Grand Lodge gets three in which appears no critieism.

路of the Craft. In great measure to their faithfulness and valuable labors we owe the great degree of success and prosperity which we as a Fraternity enjoy today; but may we ever be mindful that it is due most of all to the Fraternal approbation of the Supreme Grand Master of the Universe,' and may our judgments and actions always tcnd to promote His glory and our advancement in kntlwledge and virtue. 路We are here today to consider the cvents of the past year, and to legislate and provide for the future. In so .doing let us act in accordance with the principles of our Fraternity, let us be actuated by an unselfish desire to furtber the interests of Masonry in our State, for the greatest good of the greatest number, laying aside our personal feelings and prejudices, and showing in all our deliberations and decisions that spirit of brotherly lovc which seeks not its own but the good of others. Some day when our work has long been done there will be gathered those who shall look back over a century at the work we shall do today. May we so deliberatc and decide that our acts shall stand the test of time. May we be so guided and governed that in future times mcn may say of our work that it was good.

DISCIPLINE.

The Grand Master reports the ca-se of a Lodge whose succe:;s was being blocked' by the unworthy use of the black ball. He expressed sympathy, but utterly repudiated the idea of any "trap" to ascertain the name of the Brother so offending. Later, however, he arrested the Charter of the Lodge. The committee to whom the case was referred reported that the Charter be restored, the Lodge expressing sincere regret over the occurrence. The Grand Master reports 107 cases of physical disqualification presented to him, all of which he referred to District Deputy for his examination. Seventy of these were allowe~ to pass. FINANCES.

The condition of the Grand Lodge, financially, is most excellent, and evidences of prosperity are easily manifest. The Masonic Home is reported in fine condition. "The number of inmates has been increased during the year by the admission of 20 applicants, and diminished by two deaths, showing a net increase of 18, and maldng a t'otal number on April 1st of 96. The roster of inmates is as follows:' Adults-men, 55; women, 17. Children-boys, 13; girls, 11; total, 96." The cost of maintenance is put at $319.55 per capita. There is a farm in connection with the Home which seems to yield good results. The assets of the Home and Orphanage in real estate and endowment funds, etc., are something less than $250,000.

Fifty-three English-speaking Grand Lodges are reviewed by R. W. Bro. Shirrefs, who wields the pen of a "ready writer," and whose spirit is in fine contrast to that of another reviewer ('so-called), much further west, who probably, should consult his physician, as his digestion seems seriously impaired. Eleven German Grand Lodges are reviewed by R. W. Bro. Adolf Klef. The work in both cases is well done.

After several amendments to the By-Laws of the Grand Lodge were offered, several invitations for the next meeting of the Grand Lodge and various letters of regret because of necessary absence, the Grand Lodge was called off till 2: 00 p. m., when labor was resumed, and the Grand Master presented his Annual Address, from which we quote:

Before entering upon the labors of this Communication let us with profound reverence return thanks to the Supreme Architect of the Universe for the manifold blessings conferred upon us, and for the prosperity which the Fraternity has enjoyed in this Grand Jurisdiction during the past year. May we be guided by Divine 'Visdom during this Communication, so that all action

taken and all legislation enacted may serve only to advance the interest of Masonry in the new State of New Mexico. It gives me great pleasure to report to you that Masonry in this Grand Jurisdiction has made satisfactory progress during the year; that peace and harmony prevail among our mem.bers; that there has been a substantial increase in membership, and that the finances of the Grand Lodge are in good condition. Surely, we have much for which to be thankful. Let us at this time pay our tribute of affection to the memory of our departed Brothers who during the past year have gone from us to the "undiscovered country from whose bourn no traveler returns." Vile realize that while they have left us for a time we shall later join thetll in one glorious reunion.

The Grand L-odge was then called to stand in reverent attention while the Grand Secretary read a liJSt of the honored路 dead. DISPENSATIONS GRANTED AND REFUSED.

The Grand Master, with avowed reluctance, yielded to circumstances and consented to the joint occupancy of halls in 'Several cases, notably with the Knights of Pythias and Eastern Star-with which we heartily sympathize. He refused to grant several Dispensations at other than the regular time, as the regular time had not passed and such Dispensations would anticipate a failure to comply with the law. A wise decision.

Several Lodges were duly con'stituted and the Grand Master granted Dispensations for two. 'He laid the corner-stone of the M. E.'

He recommends several changes in the By-Laws of the Grand Lodge, one of them to permit the Grand Master to grant permission for the formation of a new Lodge withou't the consent of Lodges whose Jurisdiction would be affected thereby, citing a case in point to show the justice of the proposed change. It seems to us that such responsibility should not devolve on the Grand Ma路ster. Let such cases be referred to the Grand Lodge. He also recommends that the expenses of the Grand Master for official correspondence be met by the Grand Lodge and that adequate ~alary be allowed the Grand Secretary so that he may give

The Report on Foreign Correspondence is a worthy document, covering some 170 pages. Evidently we have failed to win his approval, as he says: Brother ""oads is the Reviewer and evidently has a long pair of scissors, as most of the review is a compilation and boiling down of the Proceedings of the various Jurisdictions without any Missouri comment. Kindly see under New York our views in this matter.

We obediently turn to New York that we may receive information and to our amazement find evidence of a longer pair of scissors than we have ever used. At least two pages are quoted bodily. After which he discusses thusly: The duties of a Reviewer are to make the "crooked things straight and to lead the blind by a path they know not." It must be borne in mind and kept constantly before a Committee or Reviewer that his duties are not only to his own Grand Lodge, but to the various Jurisdictions with which he and his Grand Lodge are in recognition. 'Ve have two or three Reviewers, such as Schultz of Maryland, Jenks of Wisconsin and Scott of Illinois, who seem to have the correct idea as to what the duties of a Reviewer arc. Personally, I have my differences with all three, but even that does not prevent me from realizing and appreciating the valuable work they are doing, not only for Masonry, but for Masons. The writer, therefore, advises this Committee to save their scissors for minor items and to put in their review the ideas of New York as compared with other Jurisdictions, and let it now be known that this criticism is meant in the most kindly spirit possible.

We are glad to be pointed to three real Reviewers, but as our Worthy Brother differs even with these, we conclude we must look to him alone for true Ma'SOnic light and information. And we are really pained to learn that out of the forty or more Grand Correspondents there are only three-no, four-who are worthy of consideration as such.

LORD CUELMSFOHD,

The Annual Proceedings of the Grand Lodge of New South 'Vales are sent out in a neat paper-bound volume of 294 pages, and while the autonomy of these Foreign and Provincial Grand Lodges is 'SO different from that of American Grand Lodges as to be somewhat difficult of apprehension, we can yet easily perceive the excellence of the work of the Grand Secretary and Grand Correspondent, both of whom merit commendation. THE TWE1\'TY-FOURTH ANNUAL RKPOHT.

This is for the year ending June, 1912, and contains extended reports of various Special and Quarterly Grand Communications. to wit: Special, 10th July, 1911; Quarterly, 13th September, 1911; Quarterly, 13th December, 1911; Quarterly, 13th March, 1912; Special, 11th June, 1912; Quarterly, 12th June, 1912. The report is encouraging from a financial point of view, in that it shows large additions to the various funds, a's follows: Grand Lodge Fund Benevolent Fund '!i'reemasons' Orphan Society Freemasons' Benevolent Institution 01' a total of

The Territory is divided into Metropolitan, and 26 Country Di'Stricts, under Inspectors, whose Quarterly Reports are embodied in the Annual Proceedings. The Regular Meetings of the Grand Lodge are held at the Masonic Hall, Castlereagh Street, Sydney, Australia. The first Special Grand Communication was held July 10th in , the Masonic Hall, Sydney, and after the usual ceremonies of opening was principally oceupied with the investiture of Grand Officers previously elected, and the presentation and recognition of Grand Representatives preceded by a brief, but comprehensive, Address

Sly, from which we extract: DRETHHEN-I have formally to announce to you that the Most Worshipful, the Grand Master, Lord Chelmsford, has appointed me as Deputy Grand Master during the ensuing twelve months, or until a successor has been appointed in my place, and I would like' to take this opportunity to express how greatly I esteem the honor of being again appointed to such an important office. Brethren will realize the importance of the office when they remember that under the 21st rule of our Constitution the Deputy Grand Master, in the absence of the Grand Master, possesses all the powers and privileges. of the Grand Master. I am aware that the Grand Master considers that the office of Deputy Grand Master should not be held by anyone Brother for more than two years in succession; and as I have already held that office for that allotted time it may be that when the Grand Master returns to Sydney he will make another appointment,

QUARTERLY COMl\iUNICATION.

This Communication, held September 30th, 1912, introduced by a brief Address from the Deputy Grand Master, was chiefly occupied in a recital of various functions-to specify, the opening of five new Lodges, dedications, corner-stone laying and visitations by the D. G. M. together with interesting reports of visitations to the several Masonic Districts by different Grand Officers. An extract from one of these reports will doubtless interes~ all: Broken Hill being a self-centered. district, removed from outside distractions, the Brethren are thrown upon their own resources for amusement and recreation, and the practice of Masonry in most of its branches fills up time that elsewhere might easily be less profitably spent. The consequence is a combination of 'enthusiasm and knowledge which leads to the happiest results. DEPUTY GRAND SECRETARY.

The One Hundred and Thirty-second Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the State of New York was opened in the Grand Lodge Room, Masonic Hall, City of New York, on the afternoon of May 6, A. D. 1913, A. L. 5913, at 2 o'clock; there being present, besides the Grand Officers, a large representation from the· Lodges and many visitors. The Grand Master opens his Address most felicitously: . Breth1'en of the Grand Lodge:

We come to the General Assembly o-f Masons in its One Hundred and Thirty-second Annual Communication with grateful hearts to the Great Architect of the' Universe for the blessings showered upon us, for the preservation of our lives and a goodly measure of health, to discharge the duties incumbent upon us as the Representatives 'of the Lodges which compose the Grand Lodge of the State of New York. In so large a representative body it is but natural that we should find men differing in temperament and opinion and at variance as to the best methods to be pursued for the advancement and perpetuity of the Craft; all are of one mind, however, in the desire that the very best in them shall be given. It therefore behoQves us in the' various questions which shall be proposed for your consideration and action that we counsel together as. Brethren,

All whom it was our privilege to greet when last we met arc not here today. "Oh for the touch of a vanished hand, And the sound of a Yoice that is still."

He exhibits fine sentiment in anticipating the report of the COIpmittee on Necrology by tributes to distinguished dead, covering some fourteen pages, besides five pages merely giving the names of Masons of other Grand Jurisdictions. He reports many minor Dispensations with reaJSons therefor. He accredits a number of Grand Representatives from other Grand Lodge's. CEREMONIES.

A WIDE-REACHING DECISION.

"The Grand Lodge of Louisiana was prosecuted by one M. W. Bayliss, whom it had ,pronounced asbei~g irregular and fraudulent in the establishment of a so-called ScottiSh Rite Body within its territory. The trial took place in the Civil District Court, in the City of New Orleans, and the decision was in favor of the Grand Lodge. An appeal from that decision was taken to the Supreme Court of the State of Louisiana, and that court unanimously upheld the decision of the lower court, affirming that the power to determine the regularity or irregularity or fraudulent character of any organization claiming to be Masonic rested exclusively in the Grand Lodge of Louh;iana, 'So far as tp.e territory it occupies is concerned." . Grand Master Addington, in his Addre'ss to the Grand Lodge of Louisiana, at its last session, said:

[Sept.-Oct.

Append'ix.

This decision is of almost revol utionary interest to the whole Body of Freemasonry. It confirms the prop.er contention for the supremacy of the Lodges and their "right to dominate all Masonic affairs through their properly organized and constituted representative and legislative Bodies, the Grand Ledges. As I understand its bearing upon our affairs, it relieves Grand Lodges entirely from any call to untangle any skein of contention regarding the origin or history of any body claiming to be Masonic; leaves it free to concede regularity by prescription, or, if it see:; fit to do So, by fiat. In short, it puts the ownership of the term "Masonry" and the adjective "Masonic" clearly in possession of regular Lodges and the Grand Lodges that represent them.

l'l'ALJ AN LODGES.

He enters at length upon the matter of the spurious Grand Lodge of Italy, calling itself "Serenissima Grand Logia d'Italia, etc., etc." (or words to that effect), in which it appears that several Italian Lodges have been established in different cities-one in St. Louis, all of which are necessarily illegal, having been constituted under authority of this fraudulent Grand Lodge. THE FLOOD. ~hocked at the terrible disaster involved in the destructive flood of the past spring, the Grand Master ~ithout waiting for any appeal for aid, promptly forwarded the sum of three thousand dollars to the Grand Master of Ohio, and two thousand to the Grand Master of I~diaua, to be used in aiding the unfortunate of those Jurisdictions. The Grand Lodge of Indiana returned the check with proper acknowledgment, stating that the disaster in that State wa~ not so great but that it could be relieved by their own Brethren. Be'sides the immediate aid sent to Ohio, many Lodges throu~ghout the Jurisdiction of New York sent checks to the Grand Master. The full amount contributed cannot therefore be reported.

NEW LODGES.

Dispensations were issued for the establishment of six new Lodges, viz.: Mount Masada, at Mount Vernon, Westchester County; Menora, Borough of Brooklyn; Netherland, Borough of Manhat41n; Bay View, at Henderson, Jefferson County; Aquehonga, Borough of Richmond, and Criterion, Borough of Manhattan. We quote the following with sincere approval:

Appendix. MASONIC EMPLOYMENT BUREAU.

'l'h(l Masonic Employment Bureau, established under the auspices of the Grand Lodge, has been in operation now for one and one-half years, and has grown to be a power for good to the unemployed in the Fraternity. Masonry, in the ordinary acceptation of the term, is not a charitable society, still It dispenses charity. The Masonic En::..ploymellt Bureau, however, is working on broader linesthe keynote to help the man to help himself. Self-respecting men disdain charitY,but cry aloud for honorable means to earn a livelihood. Our family is a large one, and we carry out the whole-souled family idea that a member in trouble is entitled to our assistance. Such assistance should be given, not only as a matter of right, but in the spirit of love and kindness. Let us be friends rather than almoners. How many of 路us have reason to remember that "a friend in need is a friend indeed"? The duties of brotherhood are not collective. They are individual. We are obligated personally to relieve a Brother's distress and to sympathize with his affliction. Distress too often means the want of a job. Better than temporary financial aid are friendship, encouragement, and assistance to obtain employment. For those who have passed the period of self-support and are worthy a Home has been provided. The able-bodied, wbo have yet something to give to the world and to mankind, although beset with misfortune, must be encouraged and an endeavor made to obtain a market for their honest industry.

THE UTICA HOME.

This is really one of the great eleemosynary institutions of the world and well worthy of the great State and Jurisdiction which created it. During the year applications for admission to the Home were filed by 62 men, 29 women, 23 boys and 11 girls, a total of 125. Of this, the largest number filed in anyone year in the history of the Home, 74 were accepted, 23 rejected, 5 withdrawn and 23 were being investigated at the close of the fiscal period. The Home Family now consists of 194 men, 118 women, 63 boys and 63 girls, a total of 438. The cost to路 maintain the Home and Farm during the year is. reported at $115,837.53, which would indicate a per capita cost of some $265. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE.

The Proceedings of the Grand Lodge of North Carolina for 1913 are of unusual interest to us for several reasons. The volume is not so large as many others of like character, but is well arranged, although the index is near the middle of the volume instead of the beginning or end, as is customary, and the Special Grand Communications are reported in detail in the body of the volume. Of these there were twelve, for the purpose of laying corner-stones, dedications, funerals and St. John's Day celebration. We do not mention these differences for the purpose of criticising. We rather like a change now and then. ANNUAL COMMUNICATION.

The Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of North Carolina convened in its One Hundred and Twenty-sixth Annual Communication, in the hall of the Masonic Temple in the City of Raleigh, on Tuesday evening, January 14, 1913, at 7: 30 o'clock, and was opened in Ample Form, it appearing that a constitutional number of Lodges were represented. After the usual ceremonies of opening the Grand Lodge, the Grand Master presented his Address, which is unusually good. Like the arrangement of the Annual, however, it is rather out of the ordinary and conventional. "With charming naivete he states that in addition to the Annual Report he brings the entire Correspondence, reports, petitions-in fact, all the papers of the year-which he kindly offers to his suc.cessor in office that he may become wise and profit thereby. Of course, the incoming Grand Master received this tribute with joy! He is terse and frank with reference to the Fraternal Dead:

I am not inclined to make a panegyric on these illustrious Brethren. This has been done in communities where they are best known. What more can be said, but that man goeth to his long home, and the dust has returned to the earth as it was and the spirit has returned to the God who gave it?

He complains that he has not had that assistance and support from all the D. D. G. M.'s that he had a right to expect, and recommends an entire change in remodeling the list, and that each Lodge recommend to the Grand Master a list of those Past Masters willing and anxious to give their time and attention to this work, and thus make it an office of distinction, as the Deputy becomes the agent of the Grand Master. WASHINGTON MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION.

He attended the second meeting of the Washington Memorial Association, at Alexandria, Va., and after presenting strongly its plan and purposes he gives endorsement to the proposition, stating that "no more fitting undertaking can be proposed." :M:ASONIC AND EASTERN STAR HOME.

He dedicated this institution at Greensboro, N. C., October 13th, where he states, "We have ventured to form a joint partnership with the Order of the Eastern Star." We cordially approve his conclusion as to the LAYING OF CORNER-STONES.

There is a general impression that corner-stones sbould only be laid to public buildings, and recently a Grand Master refused to lay the corner-stone of a church because it was sectarian.

I regard this ceremony as peculiarly Masonic. It is not the religious dedication that an Israelite observed when he built his house, nor that observed in the dedication of the walls of Jerusalem, and the dedication of the Temple of Solomon. The laying of the corner-stone precedes such ceremonies and my conception of the ceremony is this: We, being patrons and encouragers of the arts and sciences, and particUlarly of architecture, would mark our approval of the erection of any great, important, and dignified edifice, displaying architectural features, or bridges, aqueducts, monuments-in fine, any structure that shows dignity, beauty, noble ideas, or the perpetuating the history of great路 events, or that may tell of the genius of a Calamachus. Such structures may be marked by us as the twelve stones in the midst or'the Jordan marked the advent of a great people. And we do it, claiming our Masonic descent from the great builders. We who have encouraged the progress and development of mankind, in all the changes from age to age, have multiplied these silent memorials of our sojourn in a country, that those who find them wlll say. "Tbere is the mark of a great school of moral phlIosophy, which, by gentleness, toleration, and charity, brotherly love and friendship, not only existed here, but multiplied and subdued the world." When they see it in the temples and churches they will comprehend that we wor-

shiped and adored the great Creator; when they find it at the gates of the dty iu our nat'ional bUildings they will proclaim that we were obedient to and honored the civil authorities, and that we were recognized by the government; beneath a monument, that we cherished the arts. Then let them be found both in 'the lowly structures and the towers of the Almighty.

He refers to the practice of the Grand Lodges of England, Scotland, etc., as supporting this view of the matter. OXFORD ORPHAN ASYLUM.

In early days the Masons of North Carolina gave much attention to the education of their children, and schools were established and maintained' at different points. Finally they determined to merge the scattered institutions into one college of high grade, and in pursuance of this plan they laid the corner-stone of St. John's College at Oxford in 1855. This enterprise, however, was frustrated by the war between the States, and at its conclusion it was converted into an orphan asylum and the State of North Carolina granted a subsidy of ten thousa,n'd dollars a year. There are now 312' children on the roll 'and the cost of maintenance last year was $33,000, which would seem quite remarkable, as the usual cost in such institutions is considerably over $200 per capita. He states that 116 Lodges contributed nothing during the year for its support. NEW LODGES.

Four new Lodges were created during the year, one had its Charter restored and one surrendered its Charter. THE MASONIC TEMPLE.

,This noble enterprise is reported in satisfactory condition; $12,000 has been paid on the indebtedness during the year, leaving a balance of $80,000 due on the building. He modestly says: "Brethren, I have made no Decisions!" A most. worthy statement and an example which it would be well for other Grand' Masters to follow; although, even as he did, all should strive to satisfy any doubt and remove every difficulty in the way of Lodge administration by full and cheerful correspondence, calling attention to existing laws, which is generally sufficient to meet any case. ;'\...

THE TWEN1'Y-THIRD ANNUAL COMMUNICATION.

The Twenty-third Annual Communication of ~he Grand Lodge A. F. & A. M. of the State of North 'Dakota ,was opened at 10 a. m. in the Masonic T~mple at the City of Minot, on Tuesday. June 18th, and continued in session until 4 p. m. Wednesday, June 19th, A. D. 1912, A. L. 5912. . After the usual preliminaries the Grand Master delivered the Annual Addres's, a most sensible paper, almost entirely devoid of moralizing or mere sentiment and seemingly prepared solely with the wish to give a succinct and careful account of the work of the year and the general condition of the Craft' throughout the Grand Jurisdiction. An extract may not be amiss: ADDRESS.

It is my hIgh privilege to extend to you cordial greetings and to welcome you to th'e Twenty-third Convention of'the Grand Lodge of North Dakota.

tutions. Under the guidance of the Supreme Grand Master may our efforts tend to the well-being, advancement and enlightenment of the Craft throughout this Grand Jurisdiction. During the year now rapidly drawing to a close, as citizens of this grand Republic and residents of this great commonwealth, enjoying the constitutional guarantee of civil and religious liberty, we have enjoyed general prosperity. We have lived in comfort and happiness, and above all we have enjoyed the inestimable blessings of peace. r hope. that during the passing year we have accomplished something at least for social and moral advancement in the respective communities in which we live. r regard our splendid school system and the fact that this grand institution of ours is firmly and permanently established in our State as affording the best guarantees for a law-abiding and liberty-loving people. While we are enjoying the blessings of peace I am reminded of that unbappy Republic bordering us on the south now in a turmoil of revolution, where not only property but the lives of non-contestants are' in danger. Let us hope that the day will soon come when peace shall reign throughout the world and that all differences arising between nations may be settled by peaceful methods rather than by resort to arms.

He refers in sympathetic terms to the Fraternal dead and .especially, among other distinguished characters, to King Frederick VIn of Denmark, who died suddenly in Hamburg, Germany, while walking unattended at night in that city. The King was 'the Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Denmark. "He was known as the most democratic king in Europe, and his death was genuinely mourned not only by his people, but throughout the world. His son is the reigning sovereign of Norway." The Grand Master nominated four Grand Representatives, is路sued Commissions to eight, constituted three I...odges, continued two under Dispensation and granted Dispensation for one new Lodge. CORNER-STONES.

He laid the corner"stone for Plymouth Congregational Church at Grand Forks; consenting to do this because, as he explains, "the Congregational Church is a highly moral institution (?) and a great force for good," etc. He also reports other corner-stones as laid with the usual ceremonies; also the formal Dedication of the Masonic Temple at Bismarck. DECISIONS.

He decides: That a man with one leg shorter than the other and otherwise sound is eligible to Masonry. AlsoThat a man with a stiff knee is not eligible. AlsoThat a member demitting and afterwards wishing to return

Among various communications received and reported is one of, perhaps, more than usual interest referring to "Reciprocal Jurisdiction." We quote: Helena, Montana, Oct. 28, 1911. Walter L. Stockwell, Grand Secretary, A. F. & A. M.â&#x20AC;˘ Fargo, North Dakota. My Dear Si1' and R. W. B1'OthcT: At the Annual Session of our Grand Lodge, held in the Cit.y of Missoula, September 20-21, the following resolution was passed: "Be It Resolved, That this Grand Jurisdiction will waive jurisdiction over any perSOn who resides within the State of Montana but near the boundary line of this State and whose residence is nearer to and more accessible to a Lodge in an adjoining Grand Jurisdiction than to any in our own: Provided, that this Fraternal courtesy shall be applicable only in favor of such an adjoining Grand Jurisdiction which shall extend to this Grand Jurisdiction like courtesy respecting persons residing in the adjoining jurisdiction and similarly situated with reference to Montana Lodges." As this is the formal action of our Grand Lodge, I would respectfully ask that you present it to your Grand Ledge for its consideration. Fraternally yours, CORNELIUS HEDGES, .JI'., f Grand Secretary. (Seal of Grand Lodge of Montana.)

It would occur to me that this Grand Lodge ought not to fail to llleet tbe Brethren of Montana in a t,'uly Fraternal manner. I heartily recommend such a course, and would ask that this Grand Lodge take similar action so far as it relat.es to Montana.

This proposition, thus endorsed by the Grand Master, was approved by the Grand Lodge. During the session of the Grand Lodge the Ma:sons and citizens of Minot exhibited a most kindly and diversified hospitality. On \iVednesday evening a reception was given which was largely attended and was followed by dancing, the Grand Secretary reporting that some of the staid and consâ&#x201A;Źrvative members of the Grand Lodge danced till three a. m. We wonder how long the younger, less staid and conservative members remained to dance:

The Decisions of the Grand Master were few, of little more than local importance. The above quoted, however, No.3, is of unusual -character. It wa:s reported adversely by the Committee on Jurisprudence, but sustained by the Grand Lodge, and we would have voteq with the Grand Lodge, as it seems to us that any church or institution desiring such service should bear reasonable expenses. :i\I:ASONIC HOME.

This was only recently inaugurated and it will require time to fully 'show its worth. There are only eleven inmates at present, nine men and two women, making, with the superintendent, matron, son and two maids, a family of sixteen, which fully taxes the capacity of the building. An enlargement is being provided for. There is a farm in connecti<m with the Home which, so far, seems only to add to the expense. However, it will do better in the future. CORRESPOND}<~NCl'~_

GRAND MASTER'S ADDRESS. BllETHREN-

I am pleased to inform you that during the past year the Craft has enjoyed great prosperity, that there has been marked increase in membership, that no serious differences or misunderstandings have occurred, and that peace and harmony prevail. Great physical improvements have taken place, new temples and halls have been erected and fltted up in almost every section of this Grand Jurisdiction, and much pride has been manifested in the furnishings of the same. With 'very few exceptions our Lodges are in a most flourishing condition. and the ritualistic work is rendered with an enthusiasm and care that can but ultimately attain perfection. While it is highly gratifyinl'; to note the wonderful gro\vth of our Order and the material prosperity which it enjoys, we should bear in mind that ,strength of Fraternity is not in numbers, and take heed lest in the rapid stride of our growth and prosperity we lose sight of the beautiful tent'ts of our Institution-Brotherly Love) Relief) and Truth.

>I<

For the year's endeavors which speak so eloquently of success, and the innumerable blessings with which we have been favored since last we met, we reverently acknowledge our gratitude to the Supl'eme Grand Architect of the Universe. NECROLOGY.

"Sleep on, dear friends; such lives as thine Have not been lived in vain; But shed an influence rare, divine, On those that here remain." Brethren, it is meet that at this time we pause in our deliiJerations to pay due homage to the memory of our beloved Brethren who have answered the summons to appear before the Supreme Grand Master. The dread messenger has invaded the ranks of this Grand Lodge during the past year, and many n(}ble Brethren of this and our sistel' Grand ,Turlsdictions have solved the mysteries beyond the Veil-for them the last act In the drama of life has ended. They have completed their allotted tasks-they have fulfilled their destinies. 'While we grieve that they have passed beyond reach or recall, let us remember the teachings of Masonry, whicb point with Infallible accuracy

to- an existence beyond this earthly career-a house Dot made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

With this tender and touching introduction the Grand Master pays extended and fitting tribute to the Fraternal dead in Ohio and other Grand Jurisdictions. The Addregs is one of the most comprehensive we have noted, covering, as it does, more than 60 pages and reciting' in detail every official act and Masonic function attended, with a list of real and acting Grand Officers taking part. While the Report is theref9re complete and satisfactory in that regard, we suggest that much s~?-ce is occupied in unnecessary details, as it seems to us. Aside from this it is really a model, abounding in exalted sentiment and closing with this beautiful quotation: -' "May He who hath pencilled the leaves with beauty, given the flowers their bloom, and lent music to the lay of the timid bird, graciously remember you in that day when He shall gather His jewels." . NEW LODGES.

The Grand Master reports having granted six Dispensations 'for new Lodges, which with the large increase in member'ship reported by the Grand Secretary indicates a marked degree of pros路perity. He also reports 90 Special Dispensations, as follows: To To To To To

The financial condition seems to be excellent, as was indicated by the suggestion to add another $20,000 to the Endowment Fund of the Home, which institution is itself in a splendid condition, as appears from the extended and satisfactory report of the Boardwhich same we can honestly commend as a model, leaving nothing to be desired in the way of information. The inmates are reported as follows: Men, average age 71,. Women, . average age .72 Boys, average age 11 Girls, average age 11 Total

MASONIC VETERANS' ASSOCIATION.

A very pleasant meeting of this body was had at which Venerable Bro. Nelson Williams, poet. laureate, delivered a memorial to the memory of the deceased members, concluding with the following: 'HIE DEAR OLD CRONIES.

Brethren, let us pause a moment In this consecrated hall; Let us bow our hearts in silence While we all our dead recall. I t is needless here to name them, They were noble men and true; And if you had gone before them They would say the same of you. This is where they loved to linger, With the inner man supplied, And drink in the words of wisdom From their Brethren true and tried. But no more will they be with us In this world of pain and care; Theirs the gladness, ours the sadness, Till we meet them over there. .Yes, we miss these dear old cronies We have known so long and well, And our sorrow at their absence Neither tongue nor pen can tell. We shall miss them as the seasons With their changes come and go, And our hearts each year will sadden As their vacant places show. Dear old chums, of course we miss you, And your places none can fill; For we loved your genial faces And your forms, now cold and still. But while you have路 gone far from us, Yet we have you ever near; You are sleeping 'neath the cedars, But have left your image here. FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE.

The writer of this Report wields a 'strong pen" and his deliverance, covering almost 200 pages, is worthy of the' space 'occupied. He compliments Missouri with a '!write-up" of three pages, mostly commendatory, although he criticises the proposed change in our regulations, to the effect that in cities of ten or more Lodges, no Lodge shall confer the degrees for less than $75.00.

CO~{MUNICATIONS.

Following this we have the detailed report of ten Emergent or Special Grand Communications, eight of which are for the purpose of laying corner-stones and two for dedicating Lodge halls. What 'Strikes us as somewhat unusual and perhaps singular is that not a single Grand Officer is reported as attending any of these functions. Preceding the title of each "Grand" Officer, the word "as" occurs with monotonous regularity. FIFTH ANNUAL COMMUNICATION. The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Oklahoma was convened at the Scottish Rite Temple, in the City of Guthrie, by Right Worshipful Bro. Charles L. Reeder, Deputy Grand Master, at 10: 30 o'clock a. m., on the 12th day of February, A. D. 1913, A. L. 5913, and was opened in Ample Form with the usual ceremonies by Grand Master Alfred G. Gray, a sufficient representation of the constituent Lodges being present. The' Annual Report of the Grand Master is a well-written document dealing altogether with the business of the Grand Lodge and his various official acts, with little sentiment or philosophy. He thus introduces the Address: BRETHREN-It Is with pleasure that I greet you, one and all, and extend to you a cordial welcome to this the Fifth Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of Oklahoma. Time, in its onward course, bas again brougbt us together to deliberate on our work of the past, to endeavor to make wise provision for the future,

And I congratulate you upon the privilege which you bave of being representatives to this Grand Lodge to consider those interests so dear to us as Masons. With sincere appreciation of the high bono I' and exalted position which I have tried to fill during the pa,st year, I now render to you a statement of Masc.nic affairs in tbis Grand Jurisdiction and an account of my official acts.

He closes a list of the Fraternal dead with a beautiful quotation: "They never 'quite leave us, the friends who have passed, Through the shadow of death to the sunlight above; A thousand sweet mem'ries are holding them fast, To the places they blessed with their presence and love."

He reports the constituting of 13 Lodges, chartered by the last Grand Lodge, and also that he granted Dispensations for the formation of nine (9) new Lodges during the year. He granted various Special Dispensations. DECISIONS.

He announced 'Some 31 Decisions, which met with the general approval of the Committee, it being stated that most of them were not only in ac.cord with law and usage, but already covered by existing Laws and Decisions. He reduced the number of Di'stricts from 36 to 34 and appointed Deputy Grand Masters to each. FINANCIAL.

The Grand Treasurer reported as follows: General Fund Disbursements Leaving balance of

,O~r good Brother Thomas C. Humphrey gIves us a most excellent report, although quite brief: as it c~vers only 35 pages in a review of 39 'Gra.nd Lodges. He is kind to Missouri and compli路 menoo the Grand Correspondent by quoting'liberally from our introduction and also our comment on Oklahoma., If he will only add the "S" to our name we 'will appreciate him yet more-which is saying much.

The Proceedings of the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania are in fine form, but the volume is smaller than usual, owing in a measure to the illness of the Grand Correspondent, who presents a partial report, including a review of only seven Grand Lodges, covering twenty-five pages. The volume is adorned with splendid portraits of M. W. Bro. W. L. Gorgan, Grand Master, and R. W. Bro. John A. Perry, Grand Secretary, which, in appearance, indicate the possession of higher qualities than mere manly beauty, though they might boast this in measure. ANOTHER MASON "AT SIGHT."

A Special Grand Communication was held May 12th, 1912, for the purpose of making a "Mason at sight," to which the President, Wm. Howard Taft, was very appropriately invited. Possibly the idea was to impress upon the mind of His Excellency that at least one other Grand Lodge endorsed the mode of his advent into

1913. ]

113

Appendix.

Masonry-or that he luight not be "the only peblJle on the beaeh" and feel lonely on that account. Anyway, he was invited, as was also the Governor General of Canada, the Duke of Connaught. The latter sent regrets, but "Brother" Taft was on hand and in the presence of the representatives of 116 Lodges of the Jurisdiction, besides visitors, an Entered Apprentice, Fellow Craft and Master Masons' Lodge were severally opened and the degrees appropriate to each were conferred on Maslin Edgar Olmstead. The Grand Master stated that he intended by so doing "to exercise his prerogative and make (by virtue of his presence), a Mason at sight and he was sure that the work in the three degrees had never been done in the presence of any of the Presidents of the United States," and we are of the opinion that it will hardly he done again-so that both the President and the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania enjoy a distinction. The President made a very pleasant ::tddress after the ceremony. ANNUAL <JRA;\D CO:M:l\fUNICATJON.

This was held December 29, 1912, being preceded by four Quarterly Grand Communications, as is the custom with this Grand Lodge. At these, much, if not most, of the regular business is transacted so that they only occupy a few hours in the evening, while the Annual Communication, commencing at 10 a. m., concludes its work in one day. This con'sists chiefly in hearing the Address or Report of the Grand Master, and the announcements of appointive officers and committees by the Grand Master, with other Grand Officers who have heen elected at the last Quarterly Communication, which this year was held December 4. ADDHESS OF GRAND :MASTEH.

This is a very worthy document, being for the most part merely a statement of work or rulings during the year, with little of sentiment or discussion. Vie give an extract from the introduction:

It is said a custom prevails amongst the peasantry in parts of Ireland to leave the door of their cottage open and a light burning on Christmas Eve. This is done, it is said by some, that should the Christ child return to earth, instead of being harbored in a manger he might have a better and more appropriate abiding place, Others say it shows a welcome to the passerby and the wayfarer, The door'to our Lodges is always open and a light is always burning to welcome those who. seeing our good work, are willing to join our ranks and

114

be contributors to the Ancient Usages, Customs and Landmarl{s of the 1"raternity. We welcome those who l:ome with no other motive than t.hat of doing good to mankind and bettering the human race. OUI' ranl{s have been increased by init.iations within the past year, by six thousand persons, who voluntarily presented themselves to become Brethren amongst us.

m<;CISIONS.

The Grand Master announces three Decisions. The first ;:tnd third of which are local in application, while the second might excite a wider interest. It is to the effect thatPhysical disqualification arising after initiation of a Brother will not prevent his advancement, provided he is mentally and morally qualified.

With this we heartily agree, although recognizing the fact that its application might become very embarrassing in some cases. Various Dispensations were granted, many visits recorded and one Lodge instituted. This is probably the most wealthy of al,l American Grand Lodge'S, its total assets, including Charity Funds, in trust, real estate in Masonic Homes, Temple, etc., aggregating betweeri::four and five millions of dollars. Its expenditures are on a scale commensurate with its wealth; thus, the Grand Master is allowed $6,000 for expenses be'Sides having a Secretary whose salary is included in the nearly $17,000 estimate for salaries of other Grand Officers and C<lmmittees. The new Masonic Home which was projected on so magnificent a scale, and which is app~oaching completion, will doubtless cost much more than the original estimate, but will be undoubtedly the finest and most complete of its class in this country, if not in the world. Its dedication is expected during the year. CORRESPONDENCE.

As before stated, this is incomplete, owing to several circumstances. It covers only 25 pages in reviewing seven Grand Lodge Proceedings, two of which are foreign. The work is well done, however.

He grants several Dispensations for conferring Degrees out of time and also for installing officers at other than the constitutional time. He also refuses one for conferring Degrees in less than constitutional time. He recites a long list of Fraternal dead, accompa.nied with kindly and fitting words. He records many official visitations, evidencing devotion a.nd zeal in his high office. He gives a list of numerous appointments as Grand Representative, and recommends the recognition of the York Grand Lodge of Mexico, a formal request having been received for such courtesy. He states the granting of Dispensation for one nEfw Lodge whose institution he attended in person and presided .over the ceremony. He recommends the granting of a Charter to same. This recommendation was favorably considered by the Grand Lodge, which is contrary to the custom, at least among the Grand Lo<lges of the United States, as it is generally deemed best to wait till the next ensuing Grand Lodge, that the new Lodge may give proof of its merit. . They have no Masonic Home, but a Charity Fund affords relief to needy Brethren. A very brief Report on Correspondence simply states that some 67 copies of Proceedings have been received from other Grand Lodges.

The Most Worshipful the Grand Lodge of Quebec, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, held its Forty-third Annual Communication in the City of Montreal, Province of Quebec, on the 12th day of February, A. D. 1913, A. L. 5913, at the Masonic Temple, Dorchester street, and was opened by the Grand Master, Rev. Frank Charters, assisted by all the Grand Officers-the place of the absent Senior Grand Warden being filled by appointment-and in the presence of several Past Grand Officers and visitors, besides a legal representation from the various Lodges. After several formal motions relating to the bU'siness of the Grand Lodge had been made and duly referred to committees, the Grand Master presented his. Annual Address, which,thougl} comparatively brief, is yet comprehensive and altogether a most worthy document. He begins thus: '1'0 My Brethren Of the Grand Lodge of Quebec:

I welcome you to this Forty-third Annual Communication of our Grand Lodge-and at the very outset of our meeting would direct your minds, and my own, to an humble recognition of the banifold blessings with which the Great Architect has guided the work of our Order during the past year-to Him be all praise and glory. 1 would especially extend a very heatty welcome to the younger Masters and Wardens who meet with us for the first time as members of Grand Lodge -upon their sholllders will now rest a measure of the burden of responsibility which has been cart:ied so long and so well by the older members, and may they, by their fresh zeal and enthusiasm, help us earnestly in the work for which we are assembled-viz.: to review the work of the year just closed, to consider subjects of interest to the Craft, and to legislate to the best of our light and ability for the future progress of its work. May harmony and the kindest consideration characterize all our dealings, and may the result of our present work tend to the welfare and beileflt of our beloved Order.

The Craft has made steady progress during the past year. 341 of a net increase has been added to the membership and over $9,000.00 have been received for dues, fees and the Permanent Benevolent Fund, a result which I feel sure will encourage us to even greater efforts in the future.

socials and "at homes"-which sounds strangely to us, as also that a Lodge should request a Dispensation to confer the degrees on one who had lost his left hand-which, of course, the Grand Master refused. He granted one Dispensation to f~rm a new Lodge and also made many official visits. GRAND SECRE,rARY.

The Grand Secretary reports returns from all Lodges except one; also, he complains of the dilatoriness of some Secretaries in making returns. He states that "the total receipts from the Lodges amount to $9,024.75 (an increase of $466.50 over last year), with the semiannual returns of one Lodge to hear from. $3,595.75 of this amount was received for the Permanent Benevol~nt Fund, 'and $5,429.00 for the. General Fund, all of which was duly handed to the Grand Treasurer, as per vouchers." Tqe Grand Treasurer reports a tqtal fund for Masonic Hom~, Benevolent and General, as $66,668.92, most of which is invested in bonds and 'stocks. From the address of Rev. Wm. Henderson, GraJ;id Chaplain, which was worthy and interesting, we give the following: Some materials were brought in ships to Joppa, which was, and is, the harbor of Palestine. 'When visiting there I found that owing to changes in sea boundary the ancient harbor is now covered with vegetable gardens and fruit trees. It was a most difficult enterprise to carry so much material 38 miles up to Jerusalem, where the ascent is in parts 40 degrees, on rocks not then made in road form. The city is 2,540 feet higher than Joppa. I路 did not expect to find its walls in such good form, In earlier times it was known there were extensive excavati{)ns for stone under the city, but in centuries of war and tumult the facts were forgotten, One day, some fifty years ago, a noted scholar was walking along the north wall eastward outside the Damascus gate and noticed his sprightly dog disappearing under the wall. A small opening extended entirely through. Application was made .to the city officials to excavate and a larger opening was made. With aid of my dragoman and lights I went in and found a large expanse in living rock, with sustaining pillars left. Niches in tberock walls where oil lamps gave light to the workmen and marks of the toothed chisel such as the stone-squarers of Gebel would use. There are four miles of underground Jerusalem. A leading engineer says enough stone was taken here to build the city three times over. CORHESPONDENCE.

The Address of W. Bro. Herbert A. Rice at the laying of the corner-stone of Westerly Town Hall and Court House contains much that is beautiful and impressive. We make room for the following, which will be read with admiration by all who are able to appreciat.e the noble in thought and elegant in expression: Is, t.hen, Freemasonry merely a system of ethics which seeks to ascertain and enforce the moral obligations? Is it merely the survival of the ancient

191~L]

Appendix.

121

school of Plato or of Aristotle? Has it no ultimate sanction in its teachings except the "summum bonum" of the modern philosopher, the greatest good that it may do to the greatest number? Or is it a religion based Upon som.~ high sanction, upon some revelation? Freemasonry has often been called the handmaid of religion. It certainly has no differences with any religion, and along the practical side of every religion it stands ready to stretch forth its hand to serve and uplift humanity. On the dogmatic 路side it strikes at the tap root of all religions, and urges only those broad, universal, widely recognized truths which can be accepted by men of every race and of every creed in perfect harmony. It brushes aside the shadows and grasps the substances. It recognizes the moral nature of man, that the moral laws are the most fundamental of all laws under which man exists, and that in spirit man is the prototype of his great Master.

There is no report of any character from the Committee on Correspondence, and the chairman, though duly appointed, is not further' noted in the Proceedings. The volume is well arranged and worthy in every way with the exception specified.

Most of the work of this, like other foreign Grand Lodges, is done by committees, and the Quarterly or Annual Communications do little except to h.ear reports and elect officers who, in some cases, have been nominated or practically selected beforehand. The charities of the Grand Lodge of Scotland are administered systematically, but in every case, we believe, by Committees or Custodians of the Charity Fund. The report shows annuities granted to many new applicants in addition to those already .receiving aid. Most of the grants were for $50, a less number for $75, and still fewer for $100 or $125. We note none receiving a greater amount. Scotland has many Lodges in various parts of the world, besides those in. her own territory proper. They are in Europe, Asia,

Africa, and the islands of the sea, besides some in Central and South America. We give the number of Lodges and members as a mere approximation. There is nothing in the report before us in the nature of 'statistics so far as membership is concerned, nor are such statistics even given by this or various other foreign Grand Lodges, so far as our experience goes. The Address of the Grand Master, Lord Tullibardine, contains a good deal of information as well as exalted 'sentiment. This was aelivered with several others at the Feast of St. Andrew, which marks the date of the Annual Banquet which immediately follows the Grand Lodge and forms, in fact, part of the Proceedings. We give a selection: At the beginning of this New Year we should try to do something wortllY of our Craft, and if we do we wiil do something worthy of ourselves. There is a great deal we can do--it does not matter whether it is amongst old or young. We can do a. great deal for the future generations, and if future generations are not good Freemasons the faUlt will not be theirs, the fault will be ours, and we ought to do everything we can to try and incu1eate feelings of loyalty and brotherhood and a feeling amongst the younger generation of the blessings of peace. Now, Brethren, we have made enormous strides in this country and throughout the world. TJ'le grand total of Scottish Freemasons has been increased during the past year by 12,702 new members, as compared with 12,552 last year. The income of Grand Lodge during the past year has been £10,834 as against £10,794 in the previous year, an increase of £40. In 1911 the income of Grand Lodge was £10,794 and the expenditure £3,653. This year the income is £10,834 and the expenditure £4,156. During 1912 the grants from the Benevolent Fund have amounted to £1,] 32. The sum of £2,840 has been paid our annuitants this year, and since the formation of the Annuity Fund in 1889 the sum of £38,900 has been disbursed in this direction.

We note that the benevolences of this great Grand Lodge only amount to some $20,000 as reported for last year, and about $190,000 since 1889, which ha's certainly been much exceeded in our own Grand Jurisdiction. As they have no Masonic Home, however, the showing is creditable, especially as they have schools, etc., whose reports do not appear. He further says: Charters have been issued during the year to the Transvaal, 1113. In all fifteen new Lodges, located as follows: In Queensland 7, in India 2, and 1 each in Renfrewshire East, Haddington and Berwickshires, Philippine Islands, Peru, British Guiana, and Transvaal. The General Fund amounts to £3,572, the Benevolent Fund to £10,824, and the Annuity Fund to £84,515, a total for the three funds of £98,911, exclusive of heritable and movable property, valUed at .£52,486, making a grand total of £151,397.

There is no Report on Correspondence and no all1l'sion to the matter at all.

Just at this time the particular duty and responsibility resting upon us is that of faithfully discharging the duty of representing here those who have honored us by entrusting to us so much power, as路 far as legislation is (;oncerned, over the affairs of the Brotherhood. Let us meet this duty and responsibility with an eye single to the honor and welfare of the Craft, being at all times guided by the time-honored principles transmitted to us unimpaired by our ancient Brethren. Let us avail ourselves of every opportunity, presenting itself to us here during our assembling, to advance the interests of the Fraternity and the accomplishment of its true mission. I have full confldence in your purpose and desire so to do, and anticipate that all your legislation will be the result of a careful consideration of the different subjects coming before you.

The Grand M,aster reports a list of Fraternal dead in sympathetic terms. He reports many Dispensations for the usual reasons as noted from year to year in all Grand Jurisdictions. He reports the constituting in peI'lson, or by proxy, of. the ten Lodges chartered by the last 'Grand Lodge. NEW LODGES.

He granted Dispen'Sations for the formation of three new Lodges and continued three. under Dispensation. DECISIONS.

He "ruled in two cases, that where the sight of one eye is seriously impaired the petitioner is not eligible to apply for the degrees." We make no comment on the rhetorical form of this Decision, but we se,riously protest again'st its substance. There are man.y, as we have heretofore observed, with only one eye who see much more than others with two. If we rule thus as to the eyes, why not as to the ears-or the nostrils? Why not as to the hands? One is generally far inferior to the other inefficiency. l\'!ASONIC HOME.

The Grand l\1a:stcr reported that the Masonic Home Fund was nearly seventy-three thouiSand dollars, having increased only ten thousand during the year. He路 recommended that. the income be used as needed to relieve cases of want, but that no creation of a Masonic Home should be attempted until a sufficient fund be accumulated to erect and furnish necessary buildings and also to amply endow the same, This was endorsed by the Grand Lodge.

' SPECIAL AND EMERGENT COMMUNIC.ATIONS.

Emergent Grand Communications were held as follows: July 29, 30, 31; August, 1; September 24; October 14, 30, 1912; January 18 and April 12, 1913. . Six of these were for the purpose of constituting lodges; three to lay corner-stones and one to pay funeral honors to Past Grand Master Oscar Sherman. Gifford. THIRTY-NINTH A"'NUAL COl\UIUNICATION.

The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of the State of South Dakota commenced its Thirtyninth Annual Communication in Masonic Temple in the Lodge Room of St. John's Lodge No.1, Yankton, on Tuesday, the 10th day of June, A. D. 1913, A. L. 5913, at 10 o'clock a. m., and was opened in Ample Form by the Qrand Master, assisted by all the Grand Officers, as well as visitors and the Representatives of a constitutional number of the Lodges. WELCOME!

WELCOME!

The Mayor of the City, Hon. and Bro. Edwin T. White, was'then introduced and delivered an address of welcome. In part, he said: Most lForshilJf1tl Grand Master, Officers and Members of the Grand Lodge: It is a rare pleasure, indeed, for me, as Mayor, and on behalf of the citi-

;l,cns, to welcome you to this city. Yankton is honored by your presence, and we trust that your stay with us may be productive of much pleasure to your-

selv'es and profit to your institution. \Ve lIlay not be the most attractive city that ha:; had the pleasure of eutertaining you in the past; hut we trust that we maybe found as great as auy in hospitality. The birds of spring are singiug here with unwonted fervor, the flowers of nature are blooming with unusual fragrance, and the Yanktonians are beaming with their largest smiles because you have come. We have talked and planned and dreamed of this visit for months; and we hope we may be found as intense in your realization as we have been in our own anticipation. The gates of this city are wide open, the locks are broken, and the keys have been hurled into the depths of the Missouri.

He was followed by W. Bro. James Roane, Master of St. John's Lodge, who spoke (in ,Part) as follows: As Master of St. John's Lodge, No.1, it is my privilege to extend to you -to each one of you-a cordial, sincere and Fraternal welcome to Yankton, the birthplace of Masonry in South Dakota, and to tender you for your delib-' erations the hospitality of this beautiful Temple, which we are proud to as3ui'e you is consecrated t.o Masonic purposes alone. Some five years ago the Brethren of St. John's Lodge conceived the idea of inviting the Grand Lodge to hold its Annual C6mmunicatio~ in 1913 'at Yankton, in order that your Grand Body might unite with us in celebrating the Golden Anniversary of the oldest Lodge in the Dakotas. With that end iIi. view, and actiJig under the instruction of St. John's Lodge, I took occasion to extend to you at Watertown an invitation to meet at Yankton in 1913, so that you might be with us on the occasion of our Golden Jubilee. At Pierre, in 1910, I again reminded you of our desire, and I doubt not that Brother Sargent kept the matter before you in the succeeding two years, as your presence here at this time shows that' you were graciously 路mindful of our wish.

After a fitting and forceful response, theM. W. delivered the

[ Sept.-Oct.

Hall, Nashville, Tenn., beginning on Wednesday, January 29, 1913, at 10 a. m., and was opened in Ample Form. There were present, besides Grand and Past Grand Officers and visitors, the Rep-' resentatives of 437 Lodges, 462 in number, all of whom are duly named and located, the recital occupying some ten pages of the volume of Proceedings. The Grand Secretary read the edict of the last session requiring the attendance of members at each session of the Grand Lodge, and also the one touching the giving information to reporters. THE ANNUAL ADDRESS.

The Grand Master introduces his Address with a ,selection from the beautiful poem of Geo. D. Prentice on the New Year, and proceeds: BRETHREN-For the distinguished honor conferred upon me a year ago I ,am very proud, but I recognize that I am indebted to your kind partiality rather than to my own merit. The distinguished honor 0.拢 Grand Master of l<'ree' and Accepted Masons of Tennessee will ever be a benediction to brighten with its radiance the evening of a life which has already passed its three score and ten years, Life has become a reminiscence, memory usurps the place of hope, and in a few years the signal light will be seen swinging beside the silent river, beyond which is the Great 'White Throne, the Supreme Grand Master and the Book of Life. Eternal.

* * * * *. * He pays a graceful tribute to the lamented Americus, V. Warr, Past Grand Master of Tennessee, who died October 2, 1912, in the seventy-eighth year of his age, and refers feelingly to the dead of other Jurisdictions. He路 granted many Dispensations for the usual reasons in such cases and refused one-to celebrate St. John's Day June 22-(why?). He laid the corner-stone of the half-million-dollar Court House of Hamilton County, on which occasion Bro. H. H. Ingersoll delivered the strongest and most powerful address on Masonry ever heard in the State, so he reports. He also granted requests and commissioned other'S to lay corner-stones. He created one new TJodge and refused to grant Dispensation for another. FINANCIAL.

The Grand Treasurer reports cash, including balance and receipts for current year, at $75,163.40, and disbursements as $12,617.93, General Fund; Widows and Orphans' Home, $18,585.47; Endowment Fund Commission, $1,271.00; total, $32,474.40.

1913. J

Appendix.

129

The Grand Secretary reported in extenso, receipts aggregating $46,604.09 for all purposes. WIDOWS AND ORPHAXS' HOME.

The average number of inmates for the past year is reported as 147, and the average cost $123.53. Last year it was only $93.56. The difference is explained by "desire on the part of the Board to see that the residents of the Home were better fed and better clothed than formerly." The comparatively small cost is 'explained, in measure, by the fact that the Home is connected with or owns and operates a small farm from which, with the dairy, chickens, hogs, etc., the Home is largely supplied with provisions. Thirty-six were received during the year, which' large addition is balan<;ed, in measure, by the "withdrawal" of twenty-four and the death of two. No men are received into the Home, but the building of one, for men, on the same tract of land is being agitated. JURISPRUDENCE.

The Committee on Jurisprudence, among other items, add this: Your committee are in full sympathy with the Grand Master's loyal indignation at the un-Masonic conduct of sister Grand Lodges in printing and distributing cipher Rituals to its members. Masonic obligation is thereby defiantlybroken in its word and its spirit, and such Grand Lodges are started upon a course the pursuit of which will inevitably disrupt the ties which Freemasons delight to own and cherish. To sever Fraternal relations with :Masons who thus violate their vows of secrecy seems logical to our Grand Master and also to your committee. But, as we might not indict a people so we may not impeach a Grand .Turisdiction until all Fraternal resources are exhausted. Possibly we may yet recall the footsteps of our errant Brethren to the broad highway of Freemasonry by less violent means, so we recommend another year's delay before taldng action in the premises.

This is in the nature of a threat, of which the end may be serious. EXPULSION.

Sixteen names are published as having been expelled from the rights and privileges of Freemasonry. This is often done, but we protest that in our opinion it is un-Masonic and improper. And the same applies to suspensions or any other form of Masonic punish路 ment.

In compliance with the provisions of the Constitution of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Texas, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, the Seventy-seventh Grand Annual Communication was held at the Masonic Temple, in the City of Waco, commencing on Tuesday, the 3d day of December, A. D. 1912, A. L. 5912, at 10 o'clock

a. m. The attendance was large and the Proceedings full of interest. While it seems to us that a great deal of space is wasted in this as in most other Annuals, yet if any Grand Jurisdiction might demand large space for its Proceedings this great State may safely make that claim. The volume of 760 pages is bulky, but full of good things. THE ANNUAL ADDRESS.

This is unusual in length, but befits the extent of the Jurisdiction, as already suggested, and is really of a high character. It is practically void of sentiment, and the opening paragraph is simply a recognition of position and declaration of purpose, or plan. His reference to the Fraternal dead is fitting and he quotes from Albert Pike: To the Past go more dead faces, Every year; As the loved leave vacant places, Every year;

Everywbere the sad eyes meet us, In the evening's dusk they greet us, And to come' t.o them entreat us, Every year. But the truer life draws nigher, Every year; And its Morning Star climbs higher, Every year; Earth's hold on us grows slighter, And the heavy burden lighter, And the Dawn Immortal brighter, Every year.

He dwells with tender emphasis on the history and character of Thos. W. Mathews, P. G. M., and for some years Chairman of Committee on Correspondence, and of R. W. Dr. Levi Lloyd, who for more than thirty years has held the position of Deputy Grand Master of the 21st Masonic District of Texas. NEW LODGES.

He reports the constituting of 23 Lodges chartered by the last Grand Lodge, and that he granted Dispensations for the instituting of eight new Lodges during the year. CORNER-STONES

A1'\J)

PUBLIC I?iiSTALLATIONS.

He granted Dispensations for the laying of 29 corner-stones and for 30 public installationS. Also to dedicate three Lodge halls and to four Lodges to resume work Many Dispensations of minor importance were granted and many refused. DECISIONS.

The Grand Master reports 25 Decisions, most of which have only local interest, although in accord with Masonic usage. One breathes the new spirit of Texas: No. 10. It is contrary to Masonic principles to furnish intoxicating liquors at a banquet given by a Lodge and paid for with Lodge funds, even though the banquet be given at a place other than the Lodge room.

'rhis we heartily endo1'1se. Touching physical qualifications, he expresses an "opinion" with which we cannot agree; in fact, we may as well confess our objection to all three of the "opinions" given: 1.

A man with an ankylosed hip is ineligible.

132

Appendix.

[Sept.-Oct.

2. A person whose last two fingers on each hand are grown together is disqualified. 3. A party whose finger next to the l'atle finger on the right hand is stiff and stands half closed is ineligible.

We believe that every such case should be left to the decision of the ballot, but we do not believe that any Mason should cast a black ball because of the disabilities noted. LODGE TRIALS.

The Grand Lodge of Texas has very wisely, as we think, decided that the Grand Master should appoint some competent Past Master, not a member of the Lodge, to preside at all Lodge trials, and under this law the Grand Master reports 86 such appointments, which would seem to indicate that "peace' and harmony" did -not prevail at every point during the year. However, as there are 860 Lodges in the Jurisdiction, the number of trials is not perhaps so unusual after all. As this Grand Lodge grants a change of venue also, when the conditions so indicate, it would seem that ample security is given that justice will prevail. The Committee on Jurisprudence "turned down" the request of Arkansas for aid in building a Masonic Sanitarium at Hot Springs, and also, but very gently, discourages the idea of a Grand Master's 'Convention, as was held last year. MASONIC HOME.

This worthy institution 18eems to be in a most satisfactory condition. There were 25 admissions and 25 withdrawals during the year, the average number of inmates being 206-104 girls and 102 boys. The aged widows are being provided for in the Home for Aged Masons at Arlington, Texas. They are 27 in number. There is a farm in connection with the Home and the cost of maintenance, not including the widows, iJS put at $41,577.93, an average of something over $200 each, not counting, as we understand, the products of farm, garden and dairy. CORRESPONDENCE.

This was written by our lamented Brother ~athews, and. the remaining members of the Committee resolved, as a tribute to his memory, to present the unfinished Report without change. It contains in its 82 pages a well-written Review of the Proceedings of 44 Grand Lodges. Our Grand Lodge is most kindly recognized in two and one-half pages.

FORTY-SECOND ANNUAL COMMUNICATION.

The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Utah convened in its Forty-second Annual Communication in the Masonic Temple, Salt Lake City, Tuesday, the 21st of January, A. D. 1913, at 10 o'clock a. m., and was opened in Ample Form by the Deputy Grand Master, R. W. Brother Dern. in the absence of the M. W. Grand Master, for whose enforced absence he expressed regret. Besides the Representatives of fourteen of the seventeen Lodges in the Jurisdiction there were present a number of Past Grand Officers and visitors. The Address of the Grand Master was read by, the Grand Secretary. It opens as follows: BRETHHEN-It is with keen regret that I welcome you to this Forty-second Annual Communication through the lips of another.' But Masonry teaches loyalty to duty, and a duty which has a primary claim upon my time demands that I shall be elsewhere. That I would have avoided this sacrifice of personal preference and feelings had it been in my power to do so I hardly need to tell you. In fact, the thought of being denied the great privilege of meeting with you in this Annual Communication and of presiding over and sharing in your deliberations was, I must confess, almost too much for my appreciation of values and my loyalty to the greater duty. But, the personal aside, it is a joy to me to report to you that the Craft is in a most satisfactory condition throughout the Jurisdiction. Everywhere I have found enthusiasm and unity and harmony, as well as a common purpose to interpret to the world the spirit of Masonry as a regnant force in individual and community life.

He pays worthy tribute to the honored dead, especially referring to the lamented Grand Secretary, Bro. Christopher Diehl. He reports having visited all the Lodges once, and some of them twice during the year, and constituted two Lodges. He recommends that all the District Deputies meet the Grand Lecturer once each year at Salt Lake for the perfecting of the work.

135

Appendix.

The Address of the Grand Master is patterned on the same plan as is noted in the majority of cases, but a strong individuality redeems it from the commonplace and makes l it worthily interesting. We quote briefly: Brethren of the Grand Lodge:

Most cordially I greet you and welcome you to the labors and privileges of the One Hundred and Twentieth Communication of this Grand Body. As we have been taught that Masons should never enter upon any great and important undertaking without first invoking the blessing of Deity and implor~ ing His aid and wisdom, without which all our attempts are vain, we have joined around our common altar, and, with our Grand Chaplain, rendered Him our homage and reve-rence. Were it not that Freemasonry has路 ever acknowledged divine guidance it would not have survived until the present time. We who love the Institution for its best and greatest qualities recognize the fact that our best work is when we are upbuiiding character and better fitting our members for usefulness here, and for greater happiness when, after faithfully performing our duties to God, our neighbors and ourselves, we shall be called from the Lodge here below to the Grand Lodge above.

As I gaze across this assemblage gathered here today, representing the various Lodges scattered all over our State, with its membership of nearly fourteen thousand, my mind reverts to that assemblage of those who gathered for the purpose of organizing this Grand Lodge. That assemblage consisted of only fourteen, and represented all the Lodges, five in number, that had an existence in our State. Tbey were brave men and strong in their belief of what Freemasonry would be able to accomplish. As they were pioneers in establishing our Institution, so they had been pioneers in laying the foundation for our commonwealth.

The Grand Master records an appeal for aid coming from faroff Salonika, to which he responded by ordering a draft for $100 sent to the Red Cross Society. Also, he issued a circular calling on the Lodges to extend aid to the wounded and suffering in the war-stricken region of Southern Europe. He also issued a similar call in behalf of the needy Brethren in the State of Ohio, whose homes and interests in so many cases had been destroyed by the flood that prevailed in the spring of the year. He also records an appeal for aid coming from an individual Lodge in Porto Rico, in response to which he wrote the Grand Master, receiving no response. TIlE GHOST APPEA US!

He refers to the doctrine 01' "Perpetual .Jurisdiction," reciting the fact that at the meeting of the Grand Masters in Philadelphia

136

Appendix.

[Sept.-Oct.

it was proposed to agree on a five-year limit, in order to harmonize the conflicting views on that subject, and that in the following year, 1910, the Grand Lodge of Vermont assented to the change from its position of Perpetual Jurisdiction, and in the circular letter in which this appears he urges all Lodges to observe this law and carefully inquire into the record of all candidates coming from another Grand Jurisdiction. "This only applies to other Jurisdictions and not to Vermont." Now, the meeting at Philadelphia was entirely voluntary, and being without authority it could pass no resolution binding on any except the individuals participating therein, and if all these had agreed on a five-year rule it would have had no more weight than a proposal for "Perpetual Jurisdiction," except as those present might influence the Grand Lodges to which they belonged. And, in principle, we can see no difference between the five, or three, or two-year limit and that of Perpetual Jurisdiction. In a word, we see no justice in any arrangement except that of "Territorial Jurisdiction," and we see no hope of harmonizing except upon that basis. If possible, this vexed question ought t.o be settled. It is a sort of "Monroe Doctrine" in Masonry, and it is liable to produce real trouble at any time. The Grand Master evidently approves the idea of a Masonic Home, but is conservative in his statements. However, he says: Where do we stand in the ranks of the forty-nine American Grand Lodges? Twenty-four are supporting Masonic Homes. Eighteen have either a fund that is accumulating to support such in the future, or have a charity fund. Vermont has neithE:r. Of the other seven I have not been able to get information. Maine, with a membership about as large, 路but not quite, as Vermont, has a fund of $60,000. New Hampshire, with less, both in number of Lodges and Members, is maintaining a Home. It is not the large Jurisdictions alone that are moving in this matter. The little State of Delaware, with only 22 Lodges and a membership of 3,224, has set the ball rolli.ng and has dedicated one within the year. Idaho, with only 51 Lodges and a membership of 3,568, has a fund, known as the Orphans' Fund. Hence it is no excuse to us that we are a small Jurisdiction.

The strong argument presented by the opponents of any move for a Home at present is that "there will be cases, and perhaps in most cases the recipient of charity would be far happier to have it best.owed under our present way in their home town that they may remain among familiar scenes, old neighbors and friends."

The Proceedings of this Grand Lodge come to us in a volume of some 99 pages, cloth bound and well arranged. As is the custom with most Foreign and Provincial Grand Lodges, the meetings are held quarterly and this one records the doings and reports of the general meetings held March 20th, June 19th, September 18th and December 18th. Each was opened in Ample Form, and each, excepting the first, was presided over by the Grand Master, who is formally reported as "being on the Throne." This Grand Lodge ils small, but eviden.t1y full of life and showing the true Masonic spirit in its many benefactions, which are reported each quarter. There is no Masonic Home and, in fact, there seems a very general prejudice against these institutions in Foreign Grand Lodges. TilE PAST YEAR.

During the year 1911, 210 Dispensations for minor purpo路ses were granted. Some of these are strange to us; for instance, "to wear regalia at funerals," also "at laying foundation stone." Sixty-two Grand Visitations are reported, and seven new Lodges consecrated. GRAND INSTALLATION.

The installation of the Grand Master and accompanying ceremonies are reported in detail. These were quite imposing and we

138

Appendix.

[ Sept.-Oct.

are reminded that too frequently this ceremony is hurried through in the ~ast hour or minutes of the session of some Grand Lodges with so little of dignity or form as to lose all impres-sivene'ss. Addressing the Grand Master, the Installing Officer said, in part: M. W. Brother Holden is the seventh Grand Master of this Grand Lodge. of whom six are still living; one is in England, one is in Canada. one is in India, and three are in Victoria; so we have at present a representative Past Grand Master in each of the three great sections of the British J<Jmpire. besides those in Australia; and the three remaining here are natives of Victoria. The Grand Masters who have been installed in this Grand Lodge represent nearly every phase of public, professional and business life, and illustrate notably the cosmopolitan character of Freemasonry, and the keynote of loyalty has been always the same under every ruler; loyalty to God, our King, and to the highest traditions of our Order; loyalty to God and our country are at the foundation, and brotherly treatment of our fellow men at the coping. Our Order is one of the most dem{)cratic of all institutions; every great body of men must have a rUler, chosen for a shorter or longer period, and even a democracy must trust some men to administer its affairs within the limits of its constitution.

So far as figures may be accepted as proof of progress the past year bas been a notable one. Our number of affiliated members is now 12,310, an increase of 582 during the year 1911. Our total funds now amount to £29,442 14s. 11d., an increase of £4,162 2s. 4d. during the year. The Masonic Hall, which we purchased three years ago, has given us a net return upon the money invested at the rate of over, four--nearIy five-per cent, and the debt has been reduced to £11.000. This debt we shall probably pay in full within the next four years, except so far as we may find it necessary to increase the accommodation of this building.

The M. W. Grand Master responded in a short Address, one paragraph of which we quote: Our Representatives number 29, and we welcome them most heartily. We have 3 from South Australia, 18 from New South Wales (the largest representation of Present Grand Officers we have ever had), 3 from Tasmania, 1 from Queensland, 1 from Western Australia, 2 from New Zcaland and 1 from Egypt.

Several of these made brief addre'sses of congratulation. FINANCIAL.

The death of M. W. Bro. Geo. W. Carrington, Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge of Virginia, was felt profoundly throughout the Grand Jurisdiction. He was a most worthy man and had long been a central figure in Virginia Masonry. He was in the 75th year of his age. His successor, R. W. Bro. Geo. W. Nesbit, whose photo introduces the volume, is doubtless worthy and well qualified for the high position. The Proceedings constituted a very bulky volume and as there seems to be no index-at least we can find none-it is somewhat difficult to find any special subject. We note that the name of every one present on each day is given, and some 255 pages are occupied in giving location, name and number of every Lodge, besides the name of every member, and the names of all raised, affiliated, reinstatements, restorations, withdrawals, suspensions, expulsions and deaths; all of which is good for the printer. We do not criticise, since this use of space is so common with our Grand Lodges; it does seem to us unnecessary. We note also that there were nearly five hundred "withdrawals." 'V-hy is this thus? ADDRESS.

The address of t.he Grand Master is in good form and exhibits zeal for the instit.ution and careful attention to details. From the opening paragraphs we quote:

140

[ Sept.-Oct.

Appendix.

And so r give you greeting now, beseeching you,in His great name, to live like men; to labor earnestly and yet in love, and, if need be, in tears, to usher in that brighter, better day when "every man shall be to man a friend and brother." OUR DEAD â&#x20AC;˘

. How easily and how quickly our joy becomes sorrow and our roses turn to ashes. This report was written, and the closing words added, and joy expressed that our Grand Lodge family had escaped the call of the "Grim Reaper" when the news was flashed over the wires, bringing anguish to thousands of sorrowing hearts, that our beloved Grand Secretary, Right Worshipful George W. Carrington, had been called to "come up higher." vVords are too feeble to express grief over the death of such a mansuch a Mason-and we stand today, with bowed heads, in the presence of a great sorrow. Our only solace is in realizing that our Supreme Grand Master knows best, and makes no mistakes. We know our Brother's abiding faith, and that with him all must be well, for "Far out of sight, while yet the flesh enfolds us, Lies the fair land where all our hopes abide, And of its bliss there's naught more wondrous told us Than these few words, 'r shall be satisfied.' "

.Four new Lodges were created during the year. Decisions were few and local in their application. The Masonic Home is reported in good condition and a Home for aged and indigent Masons is arranged for. The Committee on Correspondence accords to Missouri almost a page-say three-fourths-in which he says that there is "no list of Grand Representatives" and that "neither the Address nor Proceedings furnish anything for review." We are sorry for this, as we would be glad to interest our Brother. He sp~aks kindly of the Corresponden t.

character of Masonry in the State of Washington, and we doubt not that investigation and acquaintance would fully justify our expectation. FIFTY-FIFTH ANNUAL COMMUNICATION.

The Fifty-fifth Annual Communication of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Washington convened in the City of Seattle on Tuesday, the 11th day of June, A. D. 1912, A. L. 5912, and was called to order by the M. W. Grand Master at the hour of 10 o'clock a. m., all the Grand Officers, except the Grand Chaplain, being present in their respective stations, besides a large representation from the several Subordinate Lodges. The Acting Grand Chaplain led in prayer and the Grand Lodge was opened in Ample Form. THE OCCASIONAL.

Addresses of welcome were delivered by Bro. Geo. F. Cotterill, of Seattle Lodge, No. 164, the Mayor of the city, and also by Bro. Edgar J. Wright, Chairman of the Masters and Wardens' Club of Seattle. These were in fine form and the response by Bro. Wm. J. Sutton, Junior Grand Warden, was' equally worthy. The Address of the Grand Master was a most satisfactory and well-written documâ&#x201A;Źnt, from which we must be permitted to make an extract: Brethren of the Grand Lodge:

The return of the children to the home fireside, the reunion of' kinsmen, the gathering around the family circle, are occasions of the greatest pleasure and happiness, and I know of no illustration more expressive of the joy of our annual gatherings than those.I have just given. Masons are bound together by the most sacred ties of Fraternity and honor; Brothers united in the common purpose of aiding and assisting each other in building up a higher and better civilization, and so we gather today to open another f'ession of this Grand Lodge, to review the past, and to plan and purpose for the future. As we look into the faces and clasp again the hands of those who have labored with us these many years our hearts are rekindled with gratitude to our Hea.venly Father for His loving kindness and protecting care over us. You, my Brethren, who meet with us today for the first time in this our Fifty-fifth Annual Communication, we greet most cordially, and ere long the high standard of Masonry in this Jurisdiction will depend on your labors and your fidelity.

The Grand Master makes kindly mention of the Grand Chaplain, Rev. William Pelan, with other distinguished dead, and calls the

142

Lodge to stand while the Grand Secretary reads the list of Brothers who have fallen in other Grand Jurisdictions. Fom'~IGN REI~ATIONS

AND PERPETUAL JURISDICTION.

He states that the most amicable foreign relations exist in all cases, but in this connection states thatSunnyside Lodge, No'. 138, received a petition for the Degrees of Masonry from a person previously rejected by Harvey Lodge, No. 832, A. F. & A. M., of Illinois. Upon inquiry by the Committee of Investigation as to the cause of rejection word was received from the Secretary of Harvey Lodge that he was unable to state the cause of rejection, but that the Grand Lodge of Illinois claims Perpetual Jurisdiction over rejected material, and that Sunnyside Lodge could not receive the petition without a waiver of Jurisdiction from that Lodge. 'fhe matter was referred to me by Sunnyside Lodge. I replied as follows: April 22, 1912. Dr. Joseph Raye Shuman, Sunnyside, Wash. Dear Sir and Brother:

In answer to your favor of the 20th relative to the rejection of material in the Grand Jurisdiction of Illinois, would state that the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Washington does not claim Perpetual Jurisdiction over rejected material, nor does it 1'ecognize such Perpetual Jurisdiction by other Grand Lodges.

Under these circumstances it would not be proper for Sunnyside Lodge to ask the Illinois Lodge for a waiver of Jurisdiction. Sunnyside Lodge should, however, exercise greater care and precaution in the investigation of petitions of those who have previously been rejected, If Mr. Teitgen has gained a legal and Masonic residence and conducted himself properly, no objection would be made to receiving his petition in the usual way.

To which we respond emphatically, Yea and Amen! The dogma of Perpetual Jurisdiction is a Masonic heresy and cannot be defended, as it seems to us, from any standpoint. DECISIONS.

These are two in number, and both right-as we "steadfastly believe"-one that a man having lost the fir'st and second fingers of his right hand is eligible to the Degrees, and the other that the head waiter in a cafe where liquor is dispensed is ineligible. He endorses the idea of Masonic Clubs where there are two or more Lodges in a town or city. MEETING IN THE :MOON.

He recites that seventeen Lodges determine their meetings "by

1913. ]

Appendix.

143

the phases of the moon, while one meets every alternate Tuesday. In this age of electric lights, suburban a.nd street railways,' automobiles and air-ships, thi's method sh'ould be discontinued and some definite night of the week and month be selected." He, therefore, recommends that these Lodges amend their By-Laws accordingly. NEW LODGES.

He granted Dispensations for the creation of nine new Lodges and constituted eight Lodges U. D. He also granted various Dispensations for minor purposes. He reports many visitations and ceremonial occasions, 'Such as dedication, laying corner-stones, etc. He reports that the Masonic Home, for which provision was made ~t last Grand Lodge, is now in excellent condition. and fully prepared for the reception of inmates, and he sugge'sts that Lodges, whose dependent members have been aided by the Grand Lodge, should apply, whenever practicable, for admission to the Home. He refers to the obnoxious order of the Secretary of War, that no Masonic or other civic or fraternal device should be placed on any monument erected in national cemeteries, and suggests joining 'in a prote'st to the Congress of the United States. (This order has now been modified.-Correspondent.) He, very properly, as we think, expresses a doubt as to the propriety of taking part in the proposed Hot Springs enterprise, but thinks individuals or Lodges should be free to contribute if they so desire. MASONIC HOME.

The present Home building is considered only temporary, and . only sufficient to meet the more important or needy cases until a larger and more suitable building can be constructed. The liberality already manifested by the Brethren of that Jurisdiction indicates that this will soon be done. FOREIGN CORRESPONDEKCE.

Past Grand Master McAllaster presents a well-written report covering 109 pages, one and one-half of which are accorded to Missouri. He treats us in kindly terms, but criticises the action of our Grand Lodge in refusing to allow a Subordinate Lodge to mortgage its property for any purpose-which action he paraphrases to mean that路 "in other words, a Lodge may not mind its own busi路 ness." He may be right. We do not personally endorse paternalism in any form, but we have not sufficiently examined this particular case to form an opinion.

This last was held as the Annual Communication, being more comprehensive in its work and generally much more largely attended. It was opened in Ample Form by M. W. Bro. C. O. L. Riley, Lord Bishop of Perth, Grand Master, a large number of visitors. being present. The Address of the Grand Master, opens as follows: WORSHIPFUL BRETHREN-In the name of the Grand Lodge I bid you a very hearty .welcome to this Communication. We who live in Perth fully recognize the sacrifices that many of you, my Brethren, make in the cause of the Craft in coming hundreds of miles of slow traveling to be present and assist us in our work. We trust that your visit to Perth and your meetings and reunions with many friends may enable you to return to your various homes refreshed and heartened by the pleasures of friendship. To many of you, in my various travels, I am personally in deep debt for many kindnesses. To all of you my heartfelt thanks are respectfully tendered.

He reports fifteen official visitations during the year and nine Dispensations granted for the ordinary reasons. Many applications were refused. He reports as follows on MEMBERSHIP.

In 1900 our Grand Lodge was formed with 33 Lodges. and a membership of 2,000. Today there are 91 Lodges on the roll, 87 of which are working, with a total membership of 3,780, being an increase of 53 during the year.

In conclusion the Grand Master speaks a word fitly and forcefully, which should be remembered by all who read: I should like to say ODe or two words about the Craft in general. There are so many objections raiÂŁed in these days concerning the claims of Free-

145

masonry that it would be well if we thought for a moment ot the objects and history of our Craft. I can only remind you. first of all. that Freemasonry is ancient. We do not know how old Freemasonry really is. but there are marks upou btlildings of very ancient date, indeed, of signs that were common among the ancient and operative Masons. Masonry is honorable; the most honorable men in the world are pleased to join its ranks. Masons are called Free and Accepted because we believe that it is only free men who are allowed to become members; then we are accepted as Brethren by the others. Masonry is operative and speculative. In the old days operative Masons not only gave their work to the upraising of magnificent buildings, but they gave their whole heart and soul to' the expressing in design, line and curve, symmetry and beauty, all that they felt they could express in architecture. Nowadays Masonry is speculative, and what we try to do is to build a Temple of human character perfect in every part, upright, honorable, grand, and adding to the beauty of life. Then Masons are taught to fear God. The first word they hear when entering a Lodge, when they are initiated, is the word "God." When they" look upward they see the symbol of the Almighty, and they are taught that man consists of three parts. ' In the First Degree he is taught of that which is physical. In the Second Degree he is led on to think of the mental powers and faculties of man, to learn the sciences and art which make life better and more worth living. In the Third Degree he is carried on still further and taught of that part of man which rises after death to the Life Eternal.

The Report on Correspondence covers 123 pages, of which three and a half are accorded to Missouri in a manner both kind and complimentary. The Reviewer has evidently prepared himself by a careful examination of the various Proceedings for his task and acquits himself most cred'itably 'in its performance.

AppendÂŁx.

I: Sept.-Oct.

A. D. 1912, A."L. 5912, at 7:30 o'clock p. m. There were present, besides the Grand and many Past Grand Officers, the Representatives of a constitutional number of Lodges. After the usual cerelllonie's, the Grand Master presented his ANNUAL ADDRESS,

which is a most interesting document, worthy to be recognized as a "Stat~ paper." It is concise, covering only 14. pages, and is to be complimented in that regard, as well a'S others. He makes no reference to the S. G. M. in his prologue, but dwells tendf'lI'ly on the merits of the departed Grand Secretary and ralls the Grand Lodge to attention while the list of Fraternal dead is read by the Grand Secretary, R. W. Bro. John. M. CoUins. He reports. the creation of one new Lodge at Petersburg, Grant County. He granted various Dispensations for the reasons and purposes usually noted. Likewise he refused a number. conNER-STONES.

He reports the laying of thirteen corner-stones, either in person or by proxy, during the year. He refused to lay the corner-stone in several cases where he concluded that the building was neither Masonic nor "public" in the strict sense of these terms, and, very pr'operly indeed, he refused to grant Dispensation to lay corner-stone on Sunday in three several cases. DECISIONS

A~\)

HULINGS.

Several Decisions are reported, but none of other than local interest. He recommends that the law be amended and the minimum fee for the Degrees be fixed at $30 instead of $20, as at present. The Address is almost entirely free from sentiment, but the Grand Master gives a touch of this in the closing paragraph, accompanied. by a Quotation from Thanatopsis: "So live, that when thy sUllimons comes to join The innumerable caravan, which moves To that mysterious realm, where each shall take His chamber in the silent halls of death, Thou go not, like the quarry slave at night, Scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and s::lOthed By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave, Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch About him and lies down to pleasant dreams."

The Proceedings constitute a bulky volume of some 650 pages, the first 50 of which are occupied with the details of various Special Communications and with worthy pictures and autobiographies of M. W. Bro. Lynch, Grand Master, anQ the Grand Secretary, R. W. John M. Collins. Also several illustrations of buildin.gs and Grand Officers are given at different places in the volume. There is no Masonic Home in this Grand Jurisdiction and there seems to be no agitation on the subject and no reference to organized charity at all, at least we fail to note it, though we doubt not that our Brothers of this Grand Jurisdiction are as prompt in meet路 ing the appeals of want as any. NO THOU(;HT OF CRlTICJS:i\L

'We note here, as in almost every volume of Proceedings that comes before us, that there is much unnecessary detail occupying a great deal of space and interesting to no one except the printer. Would it not be well, for several cOI1siderations, to omit a good deal we now publish, make our Proceedings less voluminous, and send out a larger number to th~ Craft:路 It seems so to us. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE.

Our good Brother Atkinson is happy in his work as a Corr~' spondent, and no doubt happy and genial in disposition. We would judge so, not merely because of the good spirit and well-ordered paragraphs of his Report, but also because of his most pleasant physiognomy as presented in the handsome photo-engraving which prefaces his work. He is quite good looking enough to be a native of Virginia proper and not of this runaway daughter,-"The Panhandle." We appreciate his kindly words t?uching Missouri and the Correspondent. _ _ _ _...1-_

[ Sept.-Oct.

Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Wisconsin was opened in Ample Form in the Masonic Building, corner of Jefferson and Oneida streets, in the City of Milwaukee, at the hour of 2 o'clock p. m., on Tuesday, June 10, 1913, A. L. 5913, all the Grand Officers except the Senior Steward being present, besides a constitutional number of Representatives of Lodges and many visitors. ADDRESS OF GRAND MASTER.

The Address of the Grand Master is one of the most satisfactory路 we have read for a long time. It is strong and wise, and while indulging in sentiment here and there, it is sentiment of .the highest order. And all his recitals of business matters and official acts are brief, practical and modest withal. We quote a paragraph here and there:

We are living in a wonderful age; an age of science and exactness. when路 j an age in which all things are being required to stand up and be examined by "new lights," measured with "new instruments," weigI:ied in "new balances"-an age in which men are no longer satisfied with the conventional answer. The mere fact of popularity, or antiquity, is no longer a justification for anything. Our politics, social customs, civil and religious ideas nre being compelled to run th.~ g~.ntlet of scrutiny and criticism and to make answer before the inexorable question marl< of this time. thin~s must prove

How fares it with our own Institution of Masonry? Is she living up to the needs and requirements of this new and critical period? Is she measuring up fully to the requirements of today, and making proper and convincing answer to the question of her worthincss and fitness to remain among the institutions of men? Or are we, too, making the conventional answer and pointing back to our antiquity as our excuse for being? If so, the bacteria of dissolution is in our blood, and the mold of the things that perish is upon us. A.re we satisfied with the condition3 of. yesterday? Then there is lethargy and we need to be aroused. No institution is stronger, better, or more virtuous than are the members who compose it, and this little word, example, considered as being personal and individual to each one of us, is the one word that has in it the keeping of the influcnce and worth of that which is truly Masonic. It means something to be a Mason. "Let the world observe" that we aTe Masons. Masonry stands for ideals, for thinking, for character-not in the abstract and general, but in the concrete, in the individual. Who among us can place the true value upon a pure and noble life? The little world that we know, the people that we meet in it, even our friends and acquaintances, will not for long remember the words that we sayar t.he professions that W3 make, but the deeds that we do, the lives t.hat we live, that peculia.r and tangible something that. we really and actually 路are, these can never be forgotten, and they will live on, long after we are gone. When

this flesh and these bones shall have been resolved into their clay, when these shafts of marble raised by the hands of loving friends shall have eroded into :->oil, these lives will still live and ref\ect themselves again in a thousand human monuments. This world can not estimate their worth. Time can not compute their value. The real meaning of their worth and value find place only on the great ledgel's of the infinite. OUR HONORED DEAD.

Touching those who have p<;Lssed away, his language indicates a splendid faith, rising superior to mere Masonic formula or ecclesiastical dogma: Hear him! The great soul of man and of this Fraternity revolts at the idea that its friends can ever be lost to it. We can not say what we do not feel, that these Brothers are even dead to us, for they surely live. They live among us here today in a sense that is even more sacred than when we were wont to meet them in the flesh, and so we shall look upon them as having journeyed a little before us, across the nat'row divide that separates us for the moment, not from the shades and silence of the tomb, but from what we believe to be a fuller and larger life, freed from the dead weight of this flesh and these bones, and their constant urge to the things that are earthy.

The Grand Master declined the invitation to attend the meeting of Grand Masters in Indianapolis, giving as a reason that the purposes of the meeting were not sufficiently defined and satisfactory. EM.ERGENT COM i\1UNICNrIONS,

He reports four Emergent Communications of the Grand Lodge during the year, three for the purpose of laying corner-sto~es and one for dedication of Lodge Hall. SPECIAL DISPENSATIONS.

"That it is not necessary for a W. M. elect to take the Past Master's Degree before he can be installed.:' (?) After each of which we put an interrogation. (?) Also, he says that "one becomes an actual Past Master when duly elected and installed;" which,wIth the foregoing, would seem to do away with the ,Past Master's Degree altogether! Does it not?

Cases having appeared where this was desired in connection with the Masonic Burial Service, the Grand Master recommends the appointment of a committee to prepare a service suited to this disposition of the body. Here is .something new in Masonry. No further use for the. Acacia, or the three last emblems. CONSISTORY HOME ASSOCIATION.

The exact status of the "Consistory Home," at Dausman, is not clearly stated, but it is shown that Brottier Willard A. Van Brunt proposes to give to said Home for endowment, etc., the sum of $200,000 within a certain time, provided the Grand Lodge shall, in co-operation with the Consistory, make arrangements for it.s maintenance by securing a per capita t.ax of at least 50 cents from the Masons of that Jurisdiction. A committee was appointed to get the matter in shape, and thanks were returned to Brother Van Brunt. FOREIGN CORRESPONUENCE.

Our worthy Brother. Aldro Jenks presents the Report on Correspondence, which possesses the usual excellence we have learned to expect from him. He criticises-very kindly, however-four of the Decisions of our Grand Master, which were approved by the Committee. The Report covers 141 pages in the Review of Proceedings of 59 Grand Lodges.

The .Thirty-eighth Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of Wyoming, A. F. & A. M., was held in Cheyenne, 路Wyo., September 4th and 5th, 1912, the Grand Officers and a quorum of Representatives being present. The Grand Lodge. was opened in Ample Form. An address of welcome was delivered by Bro. T. Blake Kennedy, which was responded to by Bro. Wm. Pugh, p. G. M., on behalf of' the Grano Lodge. The Address of the Grand Ma'ster is a worthy document, covering more than 20 pages, with no attempt at eloquence or special sentiment. In fact, while we commend t.he Address most cordially, we would have the more admired it had it not lacked, at least, some reverential recognition of the Supreme Grand Mast.er. 'lye quote wHh approval:

On behalf of the Grand Lodge I extend to you all a cordial and I<'raternal welcome, and trust that the pleasure you will derive from actively as::;isting at this Annual Communication may amply recompense you [or the loss of time entailed by reason of the long distanCES many of you have traveled in order to be present with us today.

TOUCHING THE LIQUOR QUESTION. We are indebted to the Proceedings of the Grand Lodge of California for 1912 for the following epitome of the regUlations of twentyfive of the forty-nine Grand Lodges with reference to the liquor question. So far as we know the other Grand Lodges have no regulations on this subject, although there may have been recent legislation, of which we are not aware. Grand Lod?;es having Previsions, Regulations and De-:is!ons on tlH' liqllor quelOtion, as follows: 1. ALA BAMA. Decision adopted 1911. "A profane engaged in the business of selling spirituous, vinous or malt liquors is not eligible to receive the Blue Lodge Degrees."

2. ARIZONA. RegUlation. "That no intoxicating wines or liquors be allowed to be used as a beverage at any banquet, luncheon or otber entertainment held by the Lodges of this Jurisdiction within any Lodge room under the control of any Lodge of this Jurisdiction." 3. COLORADO. Constitution, Art. XIX, Sec. 4. "Intemperance and Liquor Traffic;.-It is hereby made the imperative duty of all Lodges to restrain, as far as possible, the Masonic crime of intemperance by trial and punishment, as the 'case may require, and to exclude from Lodge and ante-room all intoxicating liquors; and for the faithful performance of these duties they will be held st.rictly accountable to the Grand Lodge. It shall be unlawful to initiate or affiliate any person engaged in the sale of intoxicating liquors to be used a::: a beverage. All Masons are, therefore, prohibited from engaging in the liquor traffic." 4. FLORIDA. Regulations. "263. Tho liquor tra.ffic is demoralizing in its effect.s, has been productive of great evil, misery and SUffering, and has caused the downfalI of many Brother Masons, therefore the particular Ledges in this Grand Jurisdiction are advised and instruct.ed not to accept the petitions of those engaged in it when they apply for admission to our Order. 1899. "264. It shall be unlawful for any Mason after becoming a member of any LOl.1ge owing allegiance to the Grand Lodge of Florida to enter upon and engage in the business of liquor selling, and any member who violates this regulation shall be subject to charges and trial Cor un-Masonic conduct in the particular Lodge in which he hold3 membership. 1901. "265. A M3.sor; can.not accept t.he position of a drummer for a liquor house, as it would be in conflict with Regulation 264. 1.902. "266. An application for initiation cannot be received Crom a proprir::tor of a wholesale grocery house that sells whisl{y, wine and beer. 1902. "267. The regulation adopted in 1901, No. 264, is mandatory and com-

pulsory. A Mason cannot engage in the sale of liquors, and, should h~ do so, it is the plain duty of the Lodge to discipline him. 1902. "268. A Lodge should not affiliate a Mason who is engaged in the liquor business. 1902: "269. The regulation of 1901, No. 26.4, does not affect the standing of those who were in the liquor business at the time of its enactment. It is not retroactive in its effect, but does prevent members of the Fraternity from 'engaging in the liquor business, from the date of its enactment. 1902." 5. IDAHO. By-Laws of Grand Lodge. "Sedian 8. No Lodge in this ,Jurisdidlon shall receive an application for the Degrees of Masonry or for affiliation from any person who is engaged directly or indirectly, eit.her as proprietor cr employe, in manufacturing or selling intoxicating liquors as a beverage, and every person who, at t.he time of the adoption of this section, is a member of any Lodge in this .Jurisdiction and shall thereafter engage, directly or indiredly, either as proprietor or employe, in the manufacture or sale of intoxicating liquors as a beverage, shall forfeit all rights and privileges belonging to him as a Mason, and shall be forthwith expelled from the Lodge ,of which he is a member; but this section shall not be construed to apply to any person who, at the time of its adoption. shall be a member of any Lodge in this Jurisdiction and, at the time of such adoption, in good standing and engaged in such business." 6. INDIANA. Regulations. "Every Lodge is pl路ohibited from conferring any of the Degrees upon anyone who is in the habit of becoming intoxicated or makes it his business to manufadure or sell intoxicating liquors." "Sec. 129. The use of intoxicating liquors as a beverage or the manufacture or sale of intoxicating liquors to be used as a beverage is a Masonic offense, and if a Brot.her persist.s therein after being admonished by his Lodge it is the duty of the Lodge to suspend or expel him." Decision: "Can we receive the petition and confer the Degrees on the secretary of a brewing association?' His work is all in the office." Ans.: "No. His livelihood depends as much upon the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors as does that of the proprietor."

7. IOWA. General Laws. "Selling Liquor.-3d. This Grand Lodge expressly declares t.he intentional sale of intoxicating liquors in violation of the laws of Iowa, including sales by all persons engaged in the sale of intoxicating liquors to be used as a beverage, whether permitted by the laws of Iowa or otherwise, a 1\'[aconic offense, and the penalty, upon convietion thereof, shall be expulsion; and on the trial of路a Mason accused t.hereof the record of conviction in the State or Federal courts, or a certified copy thereof, shall be competent evidence and prima facie proof of guilt, but evidence upon trials under this section shall not be limited to such record evidence. "This section shall have no application to members of Lodges who, at the adoption of this amendment, are engaged in the sale of intoxicating liquors lega)]y while they continue sHch legal ~;al(路's. "The Grand Lodge further declares that hereafter no Lodge shall know~ ingly receive or act 'upon the petition of a profane who Illay at the date of said petition be engaged it,l t.his traffic, excepting, however, pharmacists who are legally selling liquor under a permit issued under the laws of Iowa."

"In this State, whcre we have constitutional prohibition of the manufacture and sale of liquor as a beverage, we have sometimes had difficulty in the matter of the illegal. sale of liquor through the medium of drug stores, socalled, and we have a ruling that where a druggist so far forgets himself as to dispose liquors in quantities as a beverage he becomes ineligible for the Degrees.

MASONIC HOME OF MISSOURI 1913

VICE ~ PRESIDENT'S REPORT. â&#x20AC;˘ To the Most Worshipful Grand Lodg.e, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of 1I1issouri:

BRETHREN-On the morning' of August 26th, ultimo, I received a telegram from Brother Thomas R. Morrow announcing the death of Most Worshipful Brother E. F. Allen, President of the Board of Directors of the Masonic Home of Missouri. Brother Allen died at New London, Conn., and was buried August 31st, at Kansas City, Mo. Our late Brother served with distinction as President of the Board for several years, and largely through his zeal and ability the elegant Hospital building was completed and plans laid for the Administration building to be erected in the near future, the fireproofing of the Children's building, the grading and beautifying of the grounds. Brother Allen had high ideals in regard to the Masonic Home and unfaltering faith in the desire and willingness of the Masons of Missouri to carry out these ideals. He' was an executive officer above the ordinary. We shall miss him and cannot help but feel the great loss we sustain through his death. At the last Annual Session of the Grand Lodge you elected James W. Boyd, Alexander M. Dockery, William M. Williams and Ethelbert F. Allen to serve as Directors for three years. You are to elect at this session of the Grand Lodge five Directors for three years to fill the vacancies of the following Directors, whose terms of office have expired, viz., Campbell Wells, Dorsey A. Jamison, Sol. E. Waggoner, Anselm C. Robinson and George L. Hassett, and one Director for two years to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Brother E. F. Allen.

We hope to begin the construction of the Administration building and the fire-proofing of the Children's building in the early part of 1914. Brethren, do you realize that the caring' for and fitting the children for lives of usefulness, and furnishing a home for the aged and affiicted costs each individual Mason in Missouri less than one and one-half cents per week? The expenses of the Home will undoubte.dly increase, but it will only be by giving its blessings to more people. We hardly think that the per capita assessment of seventy-five cents will have to be increased in the near future, but we firmly believe that if it ever bec')mes necessary to increase it that Missour~ Masons will be ready and willing to show their love for God by showing it to their distressed Brothers, their widows and orphans. In all humility and路 with hearts full of thanks to the Supreme Architect of the Universe, we say thus far we have builded wisely. May God continue to bless our Home. Th~ poet says: "Home is where the heart is.'" Let's keep our hearts in our Home, and if need arises our hands will find the way to our pockets. Yours fraternally, V. O. SAUNDERS, First Vice-President.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT. The past year, the first of my incumbency of the office of Superintendent, proved to be important in several respects. There were more admissions than in anyone year, 55, and more deaths, 28. Discharges from all causes have been 13, only one of which was ~ dismissal, that of a male member, for insubordination and drunkenness. One Brother, who was dismissed for insubo,rdination some years ago, was readmitted and has proved a satisfactory member. One old lady, who had been admitted in July, 1912, died before coming to the Home, .and two others, who were admitted in May, 1913, have not come. THE HOSPITAL. The necessity and advantages of the new Hospital are more apparent every year. It is a comfortable home for our bedridden Brothers and Sisters, and a place of safe refuge for the sick: The training and constancy of the nurses have called many a blessing from the sick, and under the watchful conduct of our efficient physician, surgeon and speci~lists, every opportunity of relie"f and recovery are present. Ours is the only Masonic Home with an efficient hospital, and it is a worthy and necessary addition to our equipment, and of which every visitor is proud. CHAPEL SERVICES. The services in the Chapel have grown in popularity so that the seating capacity .is frequently taxed. The services are conducted by the Lodges and Eastern Star Chapters on invitation of the Superintendent, in turn, and they seem to vie with each other in the matter of character of and attendance at the meetings. They bring the most noted divines, and often specialists in music, greatly to the pleasure of the members. The removal of the Chapel is nearly completed, and another 30 or 60 days will find it renovated and ready. Those who attend these services show much interest in the songs of the children, who have made great improvement under the careful and efficient teaching of Mrs. Ida Downey, our Secretary of the Board, who has won high commendation for the character of her work as Secretary. She is deserving and receives an earnest

compliment for her musical instruction, and is devoted to her duties in both respects. THE ATMOSPHERE OF THE HOME. It is noticeable that the atmosphere of the Home is pleasant, and as this is largely due to the efforts of the members themselves. it is a matter of congratulation and comfort to everyone, including the management. With the cheerful co-operation which has been generously accorded the Superintendent and Matrons, it has been possible to realize their purpose of making the Masonic Home as near to that home which is so dear to every heart as is possible. Cheerfulness and unselfishness contribute most to this result, and these cannot be destroyed unless by consent of a large number. The old people have shown remarkable diligence in .preserving this condition, and are deserving of and have my hearty thanks. Too much credit cannot be given to Mrs. Annie B. Lee, Matron of the Old People, for her wise and kind treatment of the elders of the Home. She is especially qualified by her graces and wisdom for the trying duties which fall to her, and to these are added a noble .Christian character, which makes it: possible for her to perform these duties with fortitude and courage.

THE CHILDREN. We have lost only one child during the year and she is now rapping at the door for readmission and is really unhappy because she is not already here. Three little girls have been admitted within the past month, and they are already happy members of this most interesting family. Several others are preparing for admission. It is surprising to note how readily and quickly the children become adjusted to their new surroundings. The credit for this is largely due Mrs. Baker, their Matron, and to the character and kindness of their governesses. I wish to say that we have four of the most competent governesses to be found in this work. They are valued components of the Home family, often exceedIng mere . duty to contribute to the happiness of their charges. The children have continued to improve in their school work, and many of them attended the summer schools and have made advancements in grades thereby. These they report with greatest glee, and greatly to the pleasure of Mrs. Baker, whose zealous ef-

forts in their behalf it may be appropriate that another should be permitted to chronicle. Their deportment and love are matters of great moment t9 her. ONE DAUGHTER IS LEAVING US. ,B,uth Overton, who attained to her 18th birthday last May, will ..1-eave the Home before this Report is in print. She passed throu.gh the Clark school and was given by the Home a course in Rubicam Business College, and has secured a position in this city. After one month with her employer her salary was increased, and she seems to be sure of. permanent employment. She will make her home with her married sister and an' unmarried sister and brother, and we now feel that she can safely leave the Home. Our daughter is leaving her childhood's home, likewise the familiar surroundings of her girlhood, and the portals of womanhood, too, opened for her within these walls. She has passed her probation as school girl, has mastered the details of a business education and has been launched by her foster parents upon that sea of business life which becomes, also, the fruition of her labors. She is taking farewell of brothers than whom none could be more courageous and kind, of sisters who have shared her joys and sorrows and who have with tender sympathy sought to shield her from the ruder blows of experience. Her own share in this duty of every hour has been efficient and earnest. She can have no regrets to leave behind, else the purposes of this Masonic Home have not been realized and human effort has again proven a failure. If we look into her shining eyes and read aright the sentiment blazing there, we shall discern no gloom at the parting, but only the glory of achievement, of success fairly won, of pride in what she will never fail to remember as her anc~stry after the natural one. The realization that she is a Home girl will ever be to her a joyous recollection. Otherwise we have failed, and we admit no failures. Our work is perpetual and continuous, and she shall be a Home girl to us, always, ever our child for advice and comfort if needed, and receiving our commendation for all the good she accomplishes for herself and for' others. We confer upon her our love and blessing, and with confidence that she will profit by the admonition, we earnestly remind her that when the strength and wisdom of man fails there is an inexhaustible supply above, yielded to us through the power of prayer. God's blessing and our love shall be her constant companions through life.

A NEIGHBOR'S CAMPUS. We ljl.re under renewed obligations to our Brother W. R. Vickroy for permission to our children to use the campus of the Washington University Manual Training School. With the limited space on our grounds this permission is a boon to our boys. THE IMPROVED GROUNDS. Only a portion of the changes contemplated by the order of the Grand Lodge for the improvement of the grounds can now be appreciated. But the removal of the Chapel has given the Old People more light and better air and the prospect (rom every viewpoint has been greatly improved. When the grass is restored and the trees replanted there- will be a fairer prospect, and -all this makes for the happiness of the members. THE CHILDREN'S HOME. The crying need of the hour is for a fire-proof home for the children. There is constant danger, and apprehension cannot be banished so long as there is so much wood in the old Administration Building, in which their dormitories are located. This work is in progress under the order of the Grand Lodge. Nothing could be done more than has been, this past year, but it is hoped that nothing will occur to prevent the earliest possible completion of the changes in this building. OUR LAMENTED PRESIDENT. It is indeed a mysterious way, to our untutored minds, which

makes it best that greater good may be a~complished through the all too early taking away of one who was so deeply devoted to the Home and its varied interests. Brother E. F. Allen was a natural diplomat and a trained financier, and his heart was filled to overflowing with love and duty for this Home. The young and old unite with the F'raternity all over the State in sorrow for their great loss. He was thoughtful of' and kind to each and they miss his words as they will the results of his able efforts. DONATIONS. Donations are reported elsewhere in detail. Their number is increasing yearly and in character there is no room for improve-

ment. Many of these come from the Chapters of the O. E. S. and many from individuals who are thoughtful of the pleasures and necessities of others. ENTERTAINMENT. The Matrons, in their letters, have made due acknowledgment of the kindnesses of the Christmas Committee, the Lodges, Chapters and the theaters and others to the young and old. There have been other individuals who have sent cash donations for picture shows, swimming, etc., and this fund has its importance. It permits the children to have such opportunities as do those whose parents provide for them. The "thank yOU" which never fails to express their gratitude after each entertainment, is intended for their kind friends, the donors to this fund. ORDER OF THE EASTERN STAR. This magnificent adjunct of the Masonic Lodges is continuing its great work for the Home in the most intelligent manner. Its collections are enormous and its disbursements are made in such systematic manner that every dollar goes to procure that which is most needed. The list of cash donations will be found in the Report of the Advisory Board, and will be referred to in this letter only to express their great worth and value. There is never a needed help which is not forthcoming, and this help so cheerfully provided is of immense vallie to the Home. The Order of the East路 ern Star is nobly doing its whole duty to the Home. MEMBERSHIP STATISTICS. The Annual Report of August 31, 1912, showed the following membership: Men, 52; women, 61; boys, 30; girls, 33; total, 176. During the year now ended there were admitted: Men, 23; women, 27; boys, 1; girls, 4; total, 55. Deaths during the year: Men, 14; wom~n, 14; total, 28. Discharged during the year: Men, 8; women, 3; boys, 1; girls, 1; total, 13. Three of those admitted did not come. The t.otal membership August 31, 1913, is 'therefore: Men, 58; women, 66; boys, 31; girls, 37; total, 192. Net increase at close of year, 16. Fraternally submitted, CLIFFORD C.

MATRON'S LETTER TO THE GRAND LODGE. Just a year ago we came to take up this work in the Masonic Home, and it has been a very happy year. I thal}.k God for the results of our labors, but when you know these children as we do, you will appreciate what a splendid work this is. All have been blessed with good health, also with good wills to do all the duties assigned to them. There are no drones in this Home, and all feel a personal responsibility to have all things right. There have been five children added to the Home family this year. One little girl has gone home to her mother, who sent for her, and we miss her very much. One of the older girls is ready to leave the Home and to take up life's battles, and we wh;h her Godspeed and shall always feel she is one of our Home children. Two other girls are taking a business course, to fit themselves for the future, while a third one has a good position, and will leave the Home in a few months. We realize that changes must come to the older girls and boys, but none are permitted to leave our care until the Superintendent is very sure that they have good homes and business prospects. The children are favored in many ways, for they are ever in the hearts of the Masons and members of the Eastern Star, who haTe provided many good times for them. The vacation time was passed without strict observance of the Rules and Regulations, and they were permitted to visit the parks, picture shows and swimming pools each week. The Christmas Committee, ever mindful of the children's happiness, began at Christmas to think of the good times they could give them. The tree was laden with gifts, and such useful ones, for each of them. We had our dining room, hall and parlors decorated with Christmas greens and bells, and we were honored by having with us members of the Christmas Committee and their wives, and also some of the children who used to be members of the H orne, at breakfast. The children sang a Christmas Carol as they eame down stairs. After the meal gifts were presented to each of the children. The day will long be remembered by us all. When the children came down to breakfast Easter Morning they found rabbits, chickens and eggs everywhere, and the small children had great times hunting for nests. When Fourth of July came, we again had evidence of the kindness of the Christmas Com-

'mittee, 'the children having all the fireworks they could use during the day, and at night all the members of the Home enjoyed the display of fireworks. The next entertainment given by the Christmas Committee was the boat ride, which all enjoyed very much, and the last pleasure was the watermelon feast, which all members of the Home enjoyed to the fullest extent. In June, the Past Matrons and Patrons gave us all an ice cream and strawberry feast, and this was truly a treat. Moolah Temple Orchestra gave two entertainments in the Chapel, and once the Scottish Band rendered a concert. The Auto Club gave the children a ride through the parks and over the city, which was a great treat and thoroughly enjoyed by all. Keystone Lodge had our children as guests for a boat ride. Our children do appreciate everything done for them, and we certainly thank all for the numerous occasions we have been permitted to enjoy. We had another joyOUS time at Webster Groves, on invitation of Webster Chapter. The place, Brother William Beatty's residence, was an ideal one for a picnic. There were路 games and refreshments, in which our children took part, and we were all taken out and brought back in autos. We shall always remember how nicely the day was spent, and we carried away with us a 路pleasant memory of another evidence of Masonic goodness. May God's richest blessings be given the Masons of Missouri for their kind thoughts of us all. Hardly a day goes by but we have visits from some Mason or Eastern Star member of the State, and we feel honored to know the interest they have in those whom they have sent us. We have many donations of clothing, bedding, linens, fruit and magazines, which are very thankfully received. Each donation is credited, as you will find in the list of donations. The children lament the death of Brother Allen, who loved th~m, and was all the time planning something for their future benefit. May the coming year be a prosperous and generous one to the Masonic Home of Missouri. And to God, who doeth all things well, we give ourselves, asking for His care and protection. Fraternally, HARRIET E. BAKER, Matron.

LEITER FROM THE MATRON OF THE OLD PEOPLE TO THE GRAND LODGE. Another. twelve months have flitted into the past almost unnoticed; the multiplicity of duties, both irksome and pleasant, have so monopolized my time that I have scarcely noted the flight of weeks and months as they merged one into another. The Death Angel has called many of my dear old people from time to eternity, but they were full of years, and we trust have passed to a brighter, happier clime. As we have passed along life'l:1 rugged path we have encoun. tered many bright and pleasing experiences which cheered us on our way. Our Superintendent and Matron are of God's chosen. Our Christmas Committee has afforded myoId people so much pleasure and happiness that it is difficult to enumerate them. Christmas Day was full of joy and happiness. From start to finish it was filled with pleasing surprises and gratifying results. The Scotch Highlanders, in their native costumes, playing bag pipes, led the way to our dining room, which was a bower of decorated art and beauty, and the tables were laden with presents. After breakfast we were escorted over to the Administration Building, where again we found everyone happy. The Scotch songs and recitations were a treat to all. Bellefontaine Chapter, O. E. S., remembered myoid people in quite an unique way, a prettily subscribed Christmas card with 50 cents, silver, cunningly concealed in one corner by a bow of ribbon. Christmas with its happiness ~wells long in the memory of all, as does the recollection of the Committee. Picture shows with the treats afterwards are always pleasing, and the Easter' greetings and souvenirs are cherished. The auto ride was a pleasure, especially to the inval{ds who so seldom are afforded such an outing, and the watermelon feast wa.s a d.elight to everybody. Not only did the Christmas Committee remember that the old people enjoy swinging, but they provided not the old-fashioned grapevine swings, but modern, substantial porch swings were given them. In the meantime the Past Patrons and Past Matrons Club have not been idle. Their monthly socials, which are always looked forward to with pleasure, are never disappointing. Our George

Washington ,social was one of their crowning successes. We were honored by the presence of our Worthy Grand Matron and Patron. Our old ladies wore the old-time Martha Washington fichu and lace caps and they looked charming, while many of myoid gentlemen, also the Worthy Grand Patron and our beloved Superintendent, donned the garb of George Washington, powdered wigs, and with the red, white and blue sashes they looked quite distinguished. We could easily imagine that George Washington and his cabinet had taken possession of our Home. Easter was, as usual, a pleasant one. All received cards from our Worthy l'vIatron and a beautiful potted flower from Rose Hill Sewing Circle. Our May party was another pleasing surprise. Each lady was crowned with a wreath of flowers, while the gentlemen were given toy horns with which to malre merry. Smith Academy Glee Club favored us with several entertaining numbers. At 5 P. M. our Vlorthy Grand Matron and Patron, with officers of the different City Chapters of the O. E. S., were invited to take supper with the old people, and a happier company never gathered around the festal board. The dining room was beautifully decorated for the occasion. "All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name" was rendered by my old people. How I wished that every Mason in Missouri could have 'seen them. A beautiful music cabinet has been placed in our East Reception Room from the Club. ,The Advisory Board, O. E. S., have been more than' busy in fitting up and furnishing the two unfurnished wards in the路 Hospital. Then, in my Old People's Building, every room and hall has a new coat of paint. New rugs, beds, etc., have been put in some rooms, especially where the old Infirmary was. One large room, fitted up as a sun-parlor, is quite pleasant. The Advisory Boar'd has also provided a nice lot of comfortable rocking chairs for the old gentlemen. The elegant new rug in our East Reception Hall was donated by Harmony Chapter, O. E. S., of Kansas City. They have always extended a helping hand in a substantial way. Many courtesies have been extended to myoid people during the year, for all of which they are very grateful. The Masonic Club distinguished itself by tendering to myoId people an all-day boat ride, and those who availed themselves of the opportunity were charmed with the trip. It is with pleasure and gratitude that I note the outing to

Webster Groves as the guests of Webster Groves Chapter. As heretofore, the doors of Mr. and Mrs. Beattie's home and their hearts were opened so. wide to us that all were at our disposal. For real Masonie hospitality they and all the O. E. S. members surely deserve the palm. Everyone, young and old, was made happy. God alone knows how we. appreciate such and all Masonic blessings. Long will the day be reme~ bered. A pall of gloom and sorrow was cast over our Home when the sad telegram was received announcing the death of Mr. E. F. Allen, the efficient and highly honored President of the Board of the Home. It was a shock of no ordinary kind, for we all know what he was to the Home. My people are fast returning from their summer vacations and, as usual, are glad to be home, once again. I can truthfully say I still enjoy my connection with the Home, and the able support of my dear old people, 130 in number. I feel that as time passes each link of love is strengthened, and with God's help may it ever be so. I thank all connected with the Home for their support. Asking God's blessing upon all, I remain, Fraternally, ANNIE LEE.

REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. V. O. Saunders, Vice-President and Board of Directors, Masonic Home of Missouri:

My DEAR BROTHER-The Executive Committee has met regularly during the past year. At most meetings we have had your presence and counsel to aid us in our work. The detailed reports of the committee have had the full approval of the general Board and appear in the records of their actions. The work of the committee in the past year has been quite exacting and was cheerfully rendered by each member, all with an eye single to one purpose, the care of our Home family and economical expenditure of the tru~t placed in our charge to carryon the great charity which the Grand Lodge has so nobly endowed. Fraternally, SOL. E. WAGGONER, Vice-Ohairman, Executive Oommittee.

HOSPITAL REPORT. To the President and Board of Directors of the Masonic Home of Missouri:

BnETHREN-Herewith is presented for your consideration and information a tabular statement of this department of the Masonic Home of Missouri for the year ended Sept. 1st, 1913. Our death rate has been somewhat increased owing to the fact that the admissions have been more numerous, and to the character of the admissions. Most, in fact nearly all of the applicants received, have passed the allotted age of three score year-s and ten and come to the Home enfeebled with age and other infirmities. We have been very fortunate in so far as the children are concerned. No epidemic'of any serious importance has entered the Home. There were some cases of measles and a few cases of diphtheria. These were at once isolated with special nurses. The facilities for taking care of our sick and indigent Brothers and Sisters who are dependent have been augmented to such an extent since the erection of the Hospital that as good care and

attention can be given them as in any otb;er institution. Those poor unfortunates who are bedridden, due to paralysis, etc., seem to be cheerful and satisfied with the situation which confronts them. We are indebted to Dr. Higbee, Dr. Shields, and Dr. Ravold for valuable assistance rendered to us in their specialties. CASES TREATED.

The members of the committee have held regular meetings besides being in personal touch with the Home daily, and we are pleased to note that it is as near a home in fact as it is possible for an institution to maintain. Our Superintendent and Matron have been faithful in the discharge of their duties, and are efficient. The reward for their work is evidenced by the improved manner and general deportment and smiling faces of the children. Our old people have been faithfully watched over by their Matron, Mrs. Lee, who, hy her kindness and close attention to their needs and wants, has made it truly a haver of rest for them in their declining years. Fraternally yours, V. O. SAUNDERS, Ohairman. ST. Loms, Mo., September 22, 1913. V. O. Saunders, Esq., First Vice-President and Acting President of the Masonic Home of Missouri.

DEAR SIR AND BROTHER: As attorneys for the Home we desire to submit the following as our report for the year ending September 1, 1913: (1st) The suit of Ida Elliott, plaintiff, vs. St. Louis Union Trust Company, Masonic Home of Missouri, and German Protestant Orphans' Home, referred to in paragraph 3 of our report 'for 1912, has been disposed of by the dismissal of said suit upon a demurrer filed by us to the second amended petition being sustained. (2d) We are pleased to inform you that there are no suits now pending in which the Masonic Home is either plaintiff or defendant. (3d) During the last year we have passed upon various conveyances and drafted contracts and advised the Board from time to time in regard to various legal matters which affected the Home. We are pleased to inform you that all matters appertaining to our department are in a very satisfactory condition. (4th) In accordance with your request, we herewith submit

REPORT OF ADVISORY COMMITTEE. To the President and Board of Directors of the Masonic Home:

BRETHREN-The wheel of time has revolved once again, and the Advisory Board has completed another year's work, which, under the providence of our Heavenly Father, has been crowned with success. The loyalty of the Grand Chapter, O. E. S., and the subordinate Chapters throughout the State is ever manifest, and every call made upon them for this nob,le work is responded to most lovingly. Their generosity has enabled us to complete the furnishings of the Hospital, which include some addition to almost every departmentdining room, kitchen, and the complete furnishings of three wards. This, together with the painting of the interior of the entire Old People's building, bronzing radiators,. painting stairways, an,d sup-

plying minor needs, has made both the Hospital and the Old People's building comfortable and well equipped. Five thousand, five hundred and eighty-two dollars and ninetyeight cents ($5,582.98) has been spent this year. The renovation and decoration of the interior of the Chapel, as soon as it is in readiness, will receive our attention. Our efforts will then be directed to the accumulation of a fund with which to furnish the much needed Administration building when erected. In the sudden passing of our esteemed President and Brother Ethelbert F. Allen, our Home has lost a loyal and faithful friend. His wise counsel and good judgment were of great value to the Home. Let us unite in carrying out the plans he projected. Both young and old are indeed happy and contented under the kindly direction of Brother and Sister Baker, whose love and devotion for the family are being repaid by the peace and harmony which prevail. Fraternally submitted, MATTIE P. BARNEY, LOUISA J. MOORE, LILLIE L. FLETCHER.

ST. LOUIS, September 15,

1~13.

Bro. Sol. E. Waggoner, Director Masonic Home, St. Louis: DEAR SIB-At your request I have examined the reports of the Secretary and Treasurer of the Home for the year ending August

31, 1913.

I have found the reports of the Secretary and Treasurer of the General Fund, Improvement Fund and Hospital Fund correct, and have certified that each one is correct. With Brothers Waggoner and Wells, Trustees, I examined the securities of the Endowment Fund at the vaults of the Mississippi Valley Trust Co. and found them on hand as noted in Brother Wells' list. I also verified the cash balance at the Third National Bank. I found on examination of the books at the Home that the Secretary, Mrs. Downey, is very efficient, methodical and correct in keeping the accounts of the Home. Very truly yours, W. K. SPINNEY, Public Accountant.
