INTRODUCTION. To the Most Wor.shipful Grand Lodge, A. F. & A. M., of Missouri:
Tho Masonic year now closing has brought no special thrill to the heart of the Fraternity in this Grand Jurisdiction, and so far as we are informed, there has been nothing in the way of spectacular incident or of special importance occurring in any part of the Masonic world. In our own land only the ordinary is to be noted. The meeting of the Grand Masters of the various Grand Jurisdictions for the several past years seems likely to become a permanent institution, and while it is frequently asserted that not路hing in the nature of a Supreme Grand Lodge is proposed, yet the very earnestness of this denial is somewhat suspicious! However, the suggestion of a Western Grand Lodge to have a meeting of all Grand Masters, or accredited representatives, at San Francisco, next year, accompanied by something more than a hint of the purpose in view, seems to have met with faint response. Of all such meetings past, that of April, in St. Louis, was most largely attendeu and most enthusiastic, and Most Worshipful Van F. Boor, our GranJ .Master, is to be congratulated on its success. Connected as it was with the ceremonies of laying the corner stone of the Administration Building at' the Masonic Home, and the dedication of Moolah Temple, it was an event of striking interest. The proC"ession of Masons was doubtless the greatest in number and display of any ever witnessed in the history of our Order, and the thousands of visitors and ,citizens who looked on the mighty, moving panorama were doubtless impressed with the strength and dignity of Freemasonry as never before. The genius and managerial ability displayed by R. W. Leon W. Quick, D. D., G. M., and the Worshipful Mast~rs of the St. Louis lodges, and the splendid hospitality ex];1ibited on this occasioI1 by the Masonry of our city are worthy of all praise.
ADVERTISING OUR ORDER.
The question as to the propriety of granting permission to lodges to attend church in regalia on other than funeral occasions, on tohe Sabbath, continues to be an issue, and in some Grand Juris-

[Sept.-Oct.
dictions it is matter of common occurrence. We have before objected seriously to this, and. will .not repeat our argument against it, but will only say that in itself it is merely a matter of taste and circumstances. But we do believe in advertising our Order-first of all by noble lives and such absolute uprightness in all the ways of life that to be a Mason is to be a man of mark in any community. And this is most needful and most effective of all possible methods of com路 mending ourselves to the world. But-and omitting' many suggestions as to how we may win for Freemasonry the admiration of the uninitiated, we feel impelled to say that
IN ALL OUR PUBLIC FUNCTIONS,
of whatever character, the utmost care should be had to make a good impression on the outside world. Our ceremonies are simple, but beautiful in their simplicity, and when conducted by one who has such regard for himself and the Order as .to make due preparation, the effect is always good on the profane as well as those within the charmed circle of the Fraternity. The funeral service of our lamented Past Grand Master, Allen, as rendered by M. W. Jacob Lampert, will not soon be forgotten, because of its dignity, solemnity and impressiveness. So should it ever be with our funeral services. Our best .endeavor of mind and heart should be in exer-' cise when we dismiss a brother to his last, long sleep! And we may further say that to conduct any Masonic ceremony, before the wodd, in a careless and slovenly manner is a shame to our noble Order and a reflection on him who is thus guilty.

The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of Alabama and its Masonic Jurisdiction, commenced its ninety-third Annual Communication in the Masonic Temple in the City of Montgomery, on the afternoon of Tuesday, at 3 o'clock, on the second day of December, A. D. 1913, A. L. 5913. There was a large attendance, and besides Grand and Past Grand Officers and ;visitors there were Representatives from 441 of the 548 Lodges. All this representation is given.in detail of name, Lodge and office, occupying many pages. However, the Proceedings路 are in good form and less space is used to small purpose than in many other volumes that come to our table. -
THE ADDRESS OF THE: GRAND MASTER;
occupies some 29 pages and is in fine form and spirit, containing much of lofty sentiment, besides giving a judicious and intelligent account of the official acts during the year. We copy briefly from the introduction, regretting tohat our space does not permit more: Brethren of the Grand Lodge of Alabama: As we assemble. in this, the Ninety-third Annual Communication of this Grand Lodge, I can but feel a profound gratitude to the Supreme Grand Master of the Universe that He has so inspired the heart of man, so enthused his intellect as not only to cause him to have the desire to reach the standard laid down by Him, in whose image he was made, but also moves him to exert the power that God has given him to elevate his fellow man, advance the cause of civilization and make the world a better place in which to live. To this end government has been instituted and societies, educational, fraternal and religious have been organized. As I review the origin and history of Masonry and study its principles and teachings, I am convinced that to no single organization or society is the

world more indebted for its enlightened civilization, its religious freedom and political liberty than to this great and beneficent Institution. As I look into y-our faces here before me' today, and contemplate your achievements during the past five years I rejoice in the realization that Alabama is no laggard in the contest being waged by the moral forces of the world, and that its members are no drones in humanity's hive in the great work of bringing relief to the needy. comfort to the sorrowing and of making life worth the living; that they stand ever ready to reach forth路 the helping hand to those in distress, and to exemplify in their actions the doctrine of service. ';Ye extol the virtue of charity, but as beautiful as the thought may be, its real greatness does not consist of the fact that it - "Extends beyond the grave into the boundless realms of Eternity." Above and beyond that, it is the greatest virtue because it is the active one. Faith and hope are passive-one may be idle, yet be filled with faith and hope, but one cannot be filled with charity without doing路 something. One cannot really love without serving. This is the mission of ]\'Iasonry and the gospel it preaches, From its inception Masonry has ever stood for liberty of conscience, for freedom of intellect and for the righf of all men to stand erect, unfettered and unafraid, equal before God and the law, each respecting the rights of his fellows. .
NEW. LODGES. '
The Grand Master reported the formation of nine new Lodges during the year. He also reports the surrender of two charters, and that he had issued Dispensations to seven Lodges to continue work, they having lost their charters by accident or fire. He opposes the formation of a Supreme Grand Lodge or any Convention of that nature, as contemplated in the circular sent out from Oregon to the several Grand Lodges, proposing a meeting in San Francisco in 1915 for that purpose. He makes a number of Decisions, two or three with reference to the liquor business, and nearly, if not all of which are of little more than local interest: We report twO: 20. One who is a stockholder in a corporation engaged in the wholesale liquor business is not eligible to receive the degrees of Masonry. 21. The first three officer& of a Subordinate Lodg'e are not ineligible to election to a Grand Lodge office. However, if such an officer is elected to a Grand Lodge office, it renders him ineligible to re-election to office in the subordinate Lodge, while_ he holds his Grand Lodge office. .
The first, we think, ShO',lld meet vl'ith general endorsement; of
1914. ]
Appendix.
9
the second we are doubtful. We cannot see any just or philosophic reason why an officer of a Grand Lodge may not hold office in a Subordinate Lodge. But-'-all right-in Alabama! He discusses the Masonic路 Home, which is yet in its infancy, at length, and has evidently worked faithfully in its interest. He closes his report very happily with two stanzas, which we reproduce: "When I am dead, if men can say. 'He helped the world upon its way. With all his faults of word and deed Mankind did have some little need Of what he gave'-then in my grave No greater honor shall I crave. If they can say-if they but can'lIe did his best; he played the .man, His way was straight; his soul was clean; His failings not unkind, nor mean, He loved his fellow men and tried To help them'-I shall be c.ontent."
MASONIC HOME.
The family in the Home, besides officer;s and employes, numbers 43-seven m-en, fifteen women, six boys and fifteen girls, and the COi'lt of maintenance is estimated at $200 per capita. The Treasurer . reports total receipts at some $52,000, which is almost balanced by expenditures for improv-ements, investments, maintenance, etc. The endowment Fund is reported at $11,229.61.
FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE.
This report covers 217 pages and is by the worthy pen of our good Brother Titcomb, which renders it unnecessary to state that it is all right. He wisely canvasses the doings of 67 Grand,Lodges, six of them for two years. Missouri receives' courteous treatment, which we appreeiate.

The Proceedings of the Grand Lodge of Arizona come to us in the form of a neat paper-bound volume of 144 pages, containing little except details of the last Annual Communication and statistics of the Grand Jurisdiction. In the thirty-two years of the history of this Grand Lodge eight Grand Masters have died. THIRTY-SE,COND ANNUAL COMMUNICATION.
The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Arizona commenced its thirty-second Annual Communication in the City of Phoenix, on Tuesday, the tenth day of February, A. D.. 1914, at 10 o'clock a. 路m., with all the Grand Officers present, besides Representatives from all (20) of the constituent Lodges. After the usual ceremonies the Grand Master presented a very brief Report containing nothing except matters of purely local interest: The statistics ~over almost everything, including the names of every individual member of the Jraternity in Arizona. The finances of the Grand Lodge seem to be in good condition. The Grand Secretary reports amount on hand, with balance, as $5,789.69, and expenditures of $2,262.75. The Proceedings of the fifth Annual Meeting of the Past Grand Masters' Association are printed in detail, the principal item of which is the address of the President, which is a most worthy effort dealing in tender sentiment as he recalls the virtues of the departed and rising to heights of sublime thought. as he dwells on the essence of Freemasonry. There is no report on Correspondent except a brief statement that the York Grand Lodge of Mexico and the Grand Lodge of Porto Rico have been regularly organized, and recommending their recognition-which was approved by the Grand Lodge.

The "Grand Master introduced his Address, as follows: Brethren of the Grand Lodge: Another year has passed, and we are now assembled at this, our forty-third Annual Communicatio;1, which is being held among our

[Sept.-Oct.
brethren of Prince Rupert, the terminus of another of the transcon~ tinental railway systems. Let us thank the Great Architect of the Universe for the mailY blessings enjoyed during the past year. Before beginning the account of my work, I wish to express my appreciation of the honor conferred- on me in placing me at the head of the Craft in this Province. I feel that the success of the year, if any, is due to the efforts of my officers, and while I do not mention any specially, I can stat'3 that all have performed their duti~s faithfully and zealously.
The Address is very short and contains little except of local interest. However, the following may be appreciated:
CLANDESTINE MASONRY.
In spite of the experience of last year, tho clandestines again attempted to obtain a footing in : he Jurisdiction. The following letter from路 the Secretary of the Vancouver Masonic Board of R~lief fully details the circumstances o( the case, and the request of the Board is f~vorably recommended to Grand Lodge: "Dear Grand Master: . "Report was made to Grand Lodge last year of an attempt to form a clandestine lodge in Vancouver and the resultant conviction in the courts of the perpetrators. We now beg to report to you another attempt made by agents of the same organization, the American Masonic Federation, this time the attempt being made in South Vancouver. The officers of this board were from the first step fully cognizant of all that was going on, but did not have evidence enough to secure a conviction until the 'lodge' had been formed and som~ nine candidates 'initiated.' Through the enlightenment of some of the 'members' the necessary evidence was secured, and on the evening of December 19th one Thomas' Houston and John Gateman were arrested at the home of the former, where the 'lodge' meeting was being held, charged with conspiring together, and with _persons unknown, to defraud the public by falsehoods in soliciting subscribers to an organization known as the 'American Masonic Federation.' After a preliminary hearing before Magistrate Johnson they were, on January 7, 1914, committed for trial. "The trial took place on February 12, 13 and 14, in the City of Vancouver, before His Honor Judge McInnes, resulting in the conviction of John Gateman, despite the evidence of the chief organizer and so-styled 'Grand Master,' Mathew McBlain Thompson. In passing senUmce His Honor said: 'I intend to follow the precedent that was set by the police magistrate when he dealt with a similar offense about one year ago. I intend to impose a fine; but while I am imposing a fine this time, I intend to im~ose it with this intimati.on, that this is the second warning that has been given in connection with this class of offense, and if there is a recurrence of this offense, this Court, speaking for its<:llf, wishes to be understood thus-
1914.]
13
Appendix.
wise-; That upon a recurrence of U~is offense the!'e will be no option of a fine, no matter who the man is, but a sentence will be imposed. I impose a fine of $200, and, in default, three months' imprisonment. Regarding Houston, His Honor said: 'Considering that Houston was to receive nothing out of these, what may be called ill-gotten gains, he is not guilty of this charge.' "
The Report on Foreign Correspondence is from the facile pen of Brother W. A. De\Volfe Smith, who says, in his introduction: The year has been devoid of startling occurrences, the chief feature, perhaps, being the tendency of some Grand Lodges to interfere with the prerogatives of their lodges. This is most noticeable in the Republic to the south of us, although the same influences are 9.t work in some of our Canadian Jurisdictions. It is to be hoped that the advice of M. W. Brother Gorrell, of Saskatchewan, will be taken to heart, ~'Let us stick to the old ways;" although his Grand Lodge is one <:f those which is much taJ,en up with some of the new ideas.
The report covers some 129 pages, of which one and a half are accorded to Missouri without criticism, except that he evidently does not approve of our position on the liquor business; at least, it would appear so from this: Ruling No. 7 was to the effect that a lodge might not receive a petition for initiation from the advertising manager of a wholesale liquor l:ouse. We would like to have a ruling as to whether the ban extend:> to the employes of the newspaper which prints the liquor dealer'3 advertisements.

THE NEW TEMPLE.
The dedication of the Temple, which took place Oct. 13th, was under happy auspices and was a most imposing ceremony. The following bit of history will be of interest to many: HISTORICAL.
The first pretentious edifice erected in the City of San Francisco for the special uses of Masonry was begun in the year 1860, at the corner of Post and Montgomery streets, the corner stone being laid on Monday, the 25th day of June-the day following the Anniversary of St. John Baptist. That bUilding was first occupied by Grand Lodge at its fourteenth anilUal communic~tion, commencing Tuesday, the 12th day of May, 1863. It was finished in 1870, and was imposing to a degree beyond its time. In his address to Grand Lodge on the occasion of first occupying it, Grand Master William C. Belcher said: "This is the finest and most perfect building upon the Pacific Coast, and when finished it will be the most beautiful, if not the most expensive Masonic Temple in America." It was built during the most trying years of the civil war, and cost in the neighborhood of $250,000. The membership in the State in 1863 was six thousand. The ground space occupied was seventy-five feet on Montgomery street and one hundred and sixty feet on Post street. To top of balustrade it measured seventy-nine feet, and to top of tower, one hundred and eighty-nino feet. This splendid building was the Home of Masons and Masonry continuously until the eighteenth day of April, 1906, when it was abandoned by order of the military authorities, and on the nineteenth of April it was destroyed by fire.
The reader will perhaps recall the fact that the earthquake and fire which so nearly destroyed San Francisco occurred on the 18th of April. Tl~e military probably ordered the building vacated because unsafe or because they wished to blow it up, as they did many, to stop the fire. The new Temple is located on Van Ness avenue, between Oak and Hickory avenues; the corner stone was laid October 11th, 1911. SIXTY-FOURTH ANNUAL
COMMUNICATIO~.
The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the Jurisdiction of California commenced its sixty-fourth Annual Communication in the newly-dedicated Masonic Temple in the City of San Francisco, on Tuesday, October 14, A.

representation from the constituent lodges were present, after which the Grand Lodge was opened in Ample Form.
THE GRAND
TI-fA~n;R'S
ADDRESS.
opens auspiciously, and a strong, dignified tone is maintained .throughout, making it a worthy and instructive document: With reverence and gratitude to the Great Architect of the Uni:verse, we meet here today in this magnificent Temple, only last night dedicated to the Grand and beneficent purd'Jscs of Masonry, symbolic of the enduring strength and beauty of our Order, and I am pleased to welcome to the sixty-fourth Annual Communication of our Grand Lodge the representatives of over fifty thousand Masons whose names are borne upon the roster of three hundred and fifty-five Lodges. Well may we congratulate ourselves that after seven years we are again- happily domiciled amid such splendid surroundings; environments which, in their beautiful appointments and embellishments, breathe the very spirit of our great InstitutIon.
After a tender reference to the many fraternal dead he reports, a8 follows:
LODGES CONSTITUTED.
In person he constituted ten Lodges, c-hartered by the Grand Lodge at the last Communication.
NE\'I' LODGES.
He also granted Dispensations to form seven new Lodges.
MASONIC HOMES.
He reports the two Masonic Homes in excellent condition, except that the failure of the water supply at Decoto involved much trouble and expense before securing an abundant supply from a new well sunk near by. _The excessive drought of two seasons caused the failure of water supply. He-reports the receipt of communication from Grand Lodge of Oregon, proposing a meeting of delegates from the various Grand Lodges of the United States in San Francisco the first Monday in September, 1915,' "with authority to enact laws and take measures
16

[Sept.-Oct.
binding upon the various Grand Jurisdictions participating and not inconsistent with the Ancient Charges and Landmarks of Freemasonry, for the purpose of promoting friendship, morality and brotherly love, together with uniformity of laws and ritualistic work among English-speaking Masons on this continent." This, of course, is in the direction of the often suggested "Supreme Grand Lodge". He recommends that the Grand Lodge "give its adherence to the general purpose represented" etc., etc. Also that Representa-" tives be appointed. (This matter was referred to Jurisprudence Committee and laid over tp next session.)
SPECIAL COMMUNICATION.
The Grand Master reports many visitations, with Masonic ceremonies in laying corner stones and other functions of interest. He reports no Decisions of other than local interest and closes his Address with this beautiful sentiment: The influence of one man whose life is guided by the hallowed light of Masonry is far beyond estimation. One may build a mansion; may expend uncounted sums in rearing its walls of marble, and in storing it with every element of beauty within; and yet, passing- from this mortal realrn, may have accomplished but little; while another, perhaps, never built anything save the beautiful mansion of character. The invisible precious stones that are laid in the walls of the new Temf>le, he laid around about hiS own character. He left little save influence, but that influence, exerted day by day, falls into sensitive souls, and shapes, moulds and directs the course of life, and reveals the truth to countless others.
All the interests of the Grand Lodge seem in fine shape, including its two splendid Masonic Homes.

M. W. Wm. David McPherson smiles benignly from the initial page of the Proceedings of 1913, as if at peace with himself and all the world. We like these portraits in our Grand Lodge Proceedings and are especially glad to note that. almost without exception they portray a man above the ordinary type-wMch is to be expected. Four Special Grand Communications were held during the year, which are reported in detail. We may also say that we are glad to note these public ceremonials. When properly presented to the observing world they are always helpful to our Order. And the Grand Master, in every case, should either conduct the exercises himself, being expeded at least to be thoroug'hly equipped mentally and otherwise for his路 great office, or he should intrust it路 to hands known to be fu'lly competent. While our Order profits by judicious and occasional advertising of this sort, it maybe made ridiculous,if not contemptible, b楼 unworthy and poorly conducted ceremonies in public. ANNUAL COMMUNICATION.
The fifty-eighth Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of A. F. & A. M. of Canada, in the Province of Ontario, was held at the City of Ottawa, commencing Wednesday, the 16th day of July, A. D. 1913, A. L. 5913, and was well attended and harmonious. A felicitous Address of Welcome from R. W. Brother John C. Scott, D. D., G. M., was responded to by the Grand Master, after which he presented his Annual Address, which is brief, omitting many details which so often cumber the reports of Grand Masters, yet it is well written and impressive in facts and presentation. An extract will give the general style: By the blessing -of God we have, during the year just closed, enjoyed great prosperity in all ,vays, and harmony, and loving kindness have universally prevailed within the borders of our jurisdiction.

[Sept.-Oct.
Last year I took occasion to congratulate Grand Lodge upon its meeting being held in the metropolis of the Proviflce of Ontario. I am now to congratulate Grand Lodge upon meeting in the metropolis of'the Dominion of Canada,-the center of our political system and national life, where our laws are made and whence the administration of our innumerable affairs is directed. I invite you to observe the appearance of growth and prosperity which prevails, the Leauty of situation, the evidences of future possibilities,-all of which warrant us in believing that although Ottawa's selection as the capital of Canada caused a change of government, no mistake was made. Being the capital of one of the major stars in that con~tella1ion of nations called the British Empire is a great position, and we congratulate Ottawa upon the part it is destined to play in the future of our country. ~.
He manifests his loyalty to the Government and its institutions: Here,路 too, is the residence of the representative of His Majesty, King George the Fifth,-that link of silk stronger than forged steel in binding us to the Mother Country. For the last two years the position of Governor General has been most acceptably filled by His Royal Highness the Duke of Connaught, Grand Master of the Mother Grand Lodge of England, who, with his Gracious Consort, has been. taken to their hearts by the people of Canada.
Referring to national disaster, he deplores the loss of Captain Scott and his companions in the Antarctic seas. He also laments the war in the Balkans, followed by the tragedies enacted in and by the Allied States. . He rejoices in the completion of the Semi-Centennial Fund of $100,000 by which $5,000-the annual income-may be added in time of need to the other benevolences of the Grand Lodge. Dispensations were continued to four Lodges and four were consecrated and dedicated and eleven new Lodges were formed, which indicates a rapid development in Canadian Masonry.
BENEVOLENCES.
He reports the expenditures for Benevohmces as aggregating $33,835, being the largest amount given to charity in the history of the Grand Lodge. It will be remembered, doubtless, that this, like other Foreign Grand Lodges, has no Masonic Home. The close of the Address shows a reverential spirit: My brethren, let me close by saying that I have done what in路 me lay to inculcate the worship of God, the love of country, and the practice of benevolence, believing that these are the great factors of Masonic excellence, and that the practice of them will best round (lut ~ Masonic character.

keep you and pour upon you the choicest blessings which lie at his right hand.
GENERAL CONDITION.
As already evident from the foregoing, the general condition of this Grand Lodge is excellent, financial and otherwise, and we may here remark t'hat we are compelled, more and more, to admire the spirit of English Freemasonry and the wise and conservative management of all fraternal matters.
FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE.
M. W. Brother A. T. Freed furnishes an excellent report of the Proceedings of sixty-five Grand Lodges, followed by a dissertation on "Landmarks", and a word of "Conclusion"-the whole covering some 138 pages. He uses "the pen of a ready writer". Missouri has really more' than her just share of space. Part of this he uses to instruct the Correspondent in the meaning of the word "Hades", wilich we receive with humility, only venturing to suggest that if the Grand Correspondent had not been hurried, he would doubtless have .noted the fact that we used the word in a quotation or referring to the word as so used by another.

ANNUAL COM1\IUXICATIOX.
The M. W. Grand Lodge, A. F. & A. Masons of Colorado, met in its fifty-third Annual Communication in :Masonic Temple, in Denver, Colorado, Tuesday, September 16, 1913, at 10 o'Clock a. m., and was opened in Ample Form by the M. W. Grand Master George E. Simonton, with the Grand Officers in their respective stations, prayer being offered by' R. W. Brother Robert M. Simons, Grand Orator, in the absence of the Grand Chaplain. The preliminaries included the recognition of the Grand Representatives from other Grand Jurisdictions and this was magnified by a brief address of welcome from the Grand Master, to which a suitable response was made by Worthy Brother Ralph E. Stevens. This was follo',ved by the
ANNUAL ADDRESS.
Brethren: Fifty-three years ago ~he repres~ntatives of thl'ee Lodges,¡with a total membership of sixty-two "'faster Masons, met and organized this Grand Lodge. Today we meet as the representativf'S of one hundred and twenty-six active, chartered Lodges, having a total membership of sixteer. thous~lnd, one hundred and thirty-nine, and as I look. into your faces, I feel that no grander body of men can be gathered together within the borders of our State. The Tree of Masonry was planted in good soil by those early pioneers, its growth has been vigorous and healthful, and its br~nches now spread over every section our Commonwealth. â&#x20AC;˘ We are again assembled in Annual Communication and it is fitting that in the beginning of this ses~ion we should lift our hearts in

I congratulate those C?f you whose faces we see for the first time, that your energy, industry and skill have gained for you this mar.k of distinction from your Brethren. May the present session prove pleasant and profitable to all of us; may peace and harmony prevail in all our deliberations; may we each and all use our most earnest endeavors to promote the interests of the Craft and when we return to our homes and make report of the proceedings of this Grand Lodge to our respective constituent Lodges, may we be able faithfuliy and honestly to say that we have fully discharged and performed our dQty. Freemasonry teaches the things that are true and noble, and offers abundant opportunities for the development of mind and heart. Truths that ennoble, purify and bless our race are strongly impressed upon us. We are urged in the most forcible m'anner, by every possible lesson, to the performance of such duties as will make good; true and noble men,and earnest workers for the good of society. \Ve are taught to be better husbands and fathers; more earnest and zealous citizens; we are charged to be loyal to the country in which we live; pledged to the advancement of the civilization of man, and the practice of the cardinal virtues.

He gives extended notices of the death of M. W. John Bernard Haffey, Past Grand Master of Colorado, and also that. of R. W. Wm.Pettigrew Benedict, Senior Grand Deacon of. the Grand Lodge of Colorado, and he further states that the constituent Lodges have suffered the loss of 258 members. He notes the deaths of many distinguished Masons in other Grand Jurisdictions. He recites many requests received, from and granted to other Grand Jurisdictions and many made by him-all of which, were granted except one where the law did not permit the courtesy requested. He granted and refused many Dispensations which seem altogether in accord with Masonic usage, and especiaUy do we approve his refusal to allow a Lodge to install as Master one who had never' served as Warden. PAST MASTER'S DEGREE.
The Grand Master announced in his Address that "at the close of the service on Wednesday afternoon the Past Master's Degree would be conferred on all who are 8ligible and ready to receive it."

[Sept.-Oct.
"This is an unusual proceeding"-at least unknown with us, but no doubt all right. THE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION.
This Grand Lodge has no Masonic Home, but extend their benefactiom; on the plan of most of the Foreign Grand Lodges, by granting relief to the needy in their homes. The Committee speak thus, in part: . The Fund has performed its intended purpose very satisfactorily during the past year, enabling relief to be given to eight widows, fifteen children, one grown daughter of a deceased Brother, and also to one Brother and his wife (the Brother after many' years of hard work in our mines being disabled by a progressive disease frequent from that occupation), and in addition, seven single, infirm and sick Brethren have received aid, making a total of thirty-three persons who were thus benefited. At the present time the help being given covers a total of twenty-eight persons. It may be interesting in this connection to quote as corroborative of the worth of the plan of relief adopted in Colorado, the opinion expressed of M. 'V. Brother Herbert Harris of Maine, in his report to the 'Grand Chapter of that Jurisdiction on the subject of relief, by a similar method; he said: "In Iowa as in Maine, it is believed that the needy Brethi'en can be made comfortable more cheaply at their. (own) homes than in an institution, and I believe that in" ninety-nine cases out of a hundred they are more happy if allowed to remain in their homes. It is of course possible that in a large Jurisdiction, the only feasihIe way may be to support a Masonic Home."
As we understand the report, they have a Permanent Fund, the income of which, with incidental donations, is used in relieving these needy cases. The Report indicates the expenditure of (nearly) $11,000 in the past eleven years, this being the time during which this plan has been in operation.
CORRESPONDEKCE.
This is from the worthy pen of our good Brother L. N. Greenleaf and covers 157 pages in a most satisfactory manner. He recognized :l\lissouri in a brief resume of our Proceedings, with. no criti" cisms. He regrets that Colorado was not inel uded in our last Report. So did-so do we! But we did not receive the Colorado Annual until after our Report was printed.

ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-SIXTH ANNUAL COMMUNICATION HELD A'l' MASONIC TEMPLE, CITY OF HARTFORD.
The one hundred and twenty-sixth Annual Communication of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Connecticut, A. F. & A. M., was held at Masonic Templ~, in the City (Of Hartford,. commencing February 4th, A. D. 1914, A. L. 5914, at 11 a. m., WIth attendance, besides Grand and Past Grand Officers and visitors, of the Representatives of one hundred and nine of the one hundred and ten Lodges. The Address of the Grand Master exhibits little disposition to sentiment or moralizing. He begins as follows: Brethren of the Grand Lodge: Another year has passed with its record of weal and woe, and路 we are again met in Annual Grand Communication. The year has proved co路mparatively uneventful and in spite of路 grievous loss by death of members of the Grand Lodge, we have much for which to be thankful. . Without further dissertation, I now place before you the record of my official acts.
However, he gives a long and detailed report of the distinguished dead of his and other Grand Jurisdictions during the year, introducing this with the remarkable and lamentable showing of the death of three Past Grand Masters of that Grand Jurisdiction-M. W. Benj. F. Turner, 1906; Frank W. Havens, Grand Master in 1908 and Grand Secretary, 1909 to 1913, and M. W. Leon M. Wheelock,

Appendix.
[Sept.-Oct.
1903. Besides these the Grand Lodge was bereaved in the death of R. W. Andrew Clark Lippett, Grand Senior Warden in 1895. The Grand Master issued many Special Dispensations, seemingly all in accord with Masonic usage, if not with the spirit and intent of its law, though we are inclined to regret that such are ever granted, except in very peculiar cases. We refer especially to such as do away with the time limit, allow the conferring of two or more degrees upon a candidate at the same time, changing date or hours of meeting, allowing a lodge to attend Divine Service in regalia, etc., etc. However, we do not criticise or condemn. As to Decisions, the Grand Master says: Although frequent questions have been submitted, they have simply required interpretation of existing regulations rather than the enunciation of new Law. It is gratifying to note that Lodge Officers are showing an increasing inclination to perfect their knowledge of Masonic Law, etc., which is indispensable to their full competency to properly perform their official duties. This is as it should be, and greatly reduces the correspondence of the Grand Master which at best is voluminous.
He cordially endorses the Masonic Relief Association of the United States and Canada; also, he regrets that he was unable to attend the Conference of Grand Masters at Indianapolis, but thinks such meetings most useful. He also comments with approval on the aim of the Washington Memorial Association and recommends co-operation.
FINANCIAL CONDITION.
The reports of the Grand Secretary and Treasurer indicate a healthy condition in financial matters, and altogether the Grand Lodge seems to prosp-er.
REPORT ON CORRESPONDENCE.
This covers 132 pages, of which three are given to Missouri, with general commendation. He compliments us by copying several paragraphs of our Report. However, he calls the several items of .temperance legislation which we quoted as "hodge-podge", which indicates his position on that subject, even if he had not added that such matters should be decided by ballot.

GRAND LODGE A. F. & A. M. OF DELAWARE.
The one hundred and eighth Annual Communication of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of A. F. & A. M., of Delaware, was held in the Masonic Temple, City of Wilmington, October. 1 and 2, 1913. The M. W. Grand Lodge was opened in due form at 12 o'clock, noon, by the M. W. Grand Master. assisted by other Grand Officers. There was a good attendance of Lodge Representatives. The Address of the Grand Master was unusually brief, owing, in some measure doubtless, to his protracted illness, which rendered him incapable of looking after the duties of his office for several months. In spite of this, however, there is no indication of failure in the administration. He says. in his opening paragraphs: My object in maintaining the laws and regulations of the Grand Lodge has been to keep within 'the limits of a Grand Master's prerogative and to render such service as would meet, not only the approval of the Supreme. Architect, but that of my Fraternal Brother as well. And at the same time to govern the Craft· in a manner that would not seem arbitrary or officious. We are here today to review the work of the past twelve months, and to give our approval or disapproval of what has transpired. To take cognizance of new conditions that have arisen during the year and to legislate to meet those conditions.. In my Masonic duties I have been brought in close toucQ with the activities of the Craft in the Jurisdiction and have been constantly interested in their welfare. I have observed, at times, the need of ne w regulations and stricter observance of those we already have. r have been an active Mason for twenty-five years, but this year of service has kindled in my heart a love for Masonry and the Brethren such as I have never experienced before, and never could have realized without having served the Jurisdiction as Grand Master.
.
He rejoices in the fact that the Grand Lod.ge has not been visited. in officers or members. during. the year by the dar~ angel. and
26
Appendix.
[Sept.-Oct.
feels that all have been spared for a higher purpose and better work in the future. He visited all the Lodges in the Jurisdiction except one, and made several visits outside, among them one in attending the Washington Memorial Association at Alexandria. The Grand Master made earnest effort to increase tobe assets of the Masonic Home and his efforts were well rewarded.
GRAND SECRETARY'S REPORT.
Among other items, the Grand Secretary reports that during the year, throug'hout the State, there were 149 initiated, 132 passed, 148 raised, 13 admitted, 8 reinstated, 17 dimitted, 52 died, 11 suspended, none expelled, 112 rejected. Present membership, 3,358, a gain of 73. This statement is remarkable in that the number rejected is not far behind the number initiated-112 to 149! It might be understood in two ways: Either that the general character of the citizens is below par, or that our brethren there are exceedingly careful. We take the latter view and commend them most cor, dially, Would that other jurisdictions were as judicious. MASONIC HOME.
This is in its infancy, and though small, it speaks volumes for the love and loyalty of the fraternity. It is reported in excellent condition. The total assets are summed up at $28,291.89, of which amount the real estate is valued at $19,612..11. It is difficult even" to approximate the cost per capita, although it must be large, as there are only eight inmates, all old people. However, as the' number increases the cost is relatively less. It costs little more to manage a H orne with eight or ten in the famiJ.y than with twice the number, as the cost of administration, etc., etc., is the same. The Grand Secretary adds to the value of his Report by furnisliing a list of Approved Decisions 'and Standing Resolutions. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE.
The Correspondent is kind to Missouri in the space given us out of the 98 pages occupied in his Report, but he views some of our conduct with grave disapproval. For instance~ The Committee oh Appeals and Grievances present a report cov-

ering twenty-four pages of details of trials and appeals, covering almost every offense, none of which, in our humble judgment should have been allowed to go into public print. 'What makes its appearance more unreasonable is the fact that the Grand Secretary was instructed to withhold from the printed record such things as should not appear in public print, and the only thing he omitted was the woman's name. We are reminded of the story of the fellow who went to the confessional, etc., etc. Tut! Tut! Honest, now, these reports are neither (or nither) elevating, instructive or pleasing to read. No difference how bad the under dog may be, there is no charity in giving him a public kick, and then give the other hounds a chance to keep it up.' vVe earnestly wish our Brethren who compile the annual reports would see it as we do and abandon the practice. It will be at least safe and sane. The Committee on Charity fell into the same habit and published the names of five beneficiaries, whereas the initials would hav~ been sufficient. Under the "Good of the Order," Past Grand Master Williams, Briggs and Wood played fast and loose to the assembled multitude; their topics are veiled in mystery. This is where the Grand Secretary should not have withheld.
Now, "fast and loose", which we are accused of "playing", is new to us! Like .Ah Sin, the "Heathen Chinee", it is a game we do l10t understand. However, as he writes it Wood-and not Woods, perhaps he refers to some one else.

ANXUAL CO::\1l\fUNICATION.
The one hundred and third,Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge, F. A. A. M., of the District of Columbia, was held at Masonic Temple December 17, 1913, beginning its labors at 7 p. m. It will be remembered that this Grand Lodge, like that of Maryland, having a comparatively small territory and holding two â&#x20AC;˘ Stated Communications, finds it possible to complete its labors in' a single evening, concluding the work of the year by'a Communication on the evening of St. John's Day, December 27t'h, with the election and installation of Grand Officers, the hearing of supplemental reports, etc. We find nothing unusual in the Annual Address or the General Reports. The DecisiGns and Appointments were" or seemed to be, satisfactory, and everything indicates a prosperous condition. Owing to the limited territory occupied, the possibility of growth is not great and the creation of even one new ludge and the addi¡ tion of 282 members is matter of congratulation. REPORT OX CORRESPONDENCE.
This Report is of high order. Neitl}er frivolity nqr cymclsm appear at any point and the discussion of every question suggested . is eminently satisfactory. We greatly appreciate the kindly references to our Jurisdiction and the Correspondent.

However, even Homer nods occasionally.

EIGHTY-FIFTH ANNUAL COM1VIUNICATION.
The M. W. Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Ma;sons of the Jurisdiction of Florida, assembled· in its eighty-fifth Annual Communication in the City of Jacksonville at n o'clock a. m., Tuesday, January 20, A. L. 5914, A. D. 1914, and a constitutional number of Grand Officers and Representatives of particular Lodges being present, the Grand Lodge was opened in ample form by the M. W. Grand Master,. with prayer by the Grand Chaplain. From the excellent Address of the Grand Master we excerpt: Brethren: In the realm of the material the law of evolution reigns.. * * • In life there is the ever widening- circle from the cradle, throu-gh youth, manhood and old age, to the grave. Today never finds us upon the circle where our lives revolved even yesterday. We are one more evolution toward the infinite, the Eternal.", Revolutionary change marks every phase of human activity.
30
Appendix.
[Sept.-Oct.
But there is another law, the law of progression, which rules in the realm of the moral and spirituaL It differs from the law of evolution in that it is always in a straight line, moving ever upward and onward or downward and backward. There are no curves in morals: we progress either to higher levels or to lower depths. Since yesterday we are ei11her a day's journey nearer Truth or twentyfour hours further in Error. • • • Today we are eighty-five years removed from our cradle as a Grand Lodge. Eighty-five times have the years rolled around to find us in Annual Grand Communication, and with ever widening circles have we grown in numbers and in wealth, until today our influence is felt for weal or woe throughout the state. God, the God of our fathers, our God has blessed us with peace and, plenty. To us the earth has yielded her increase, and the heavens have smiled upon us. Neither storm, flood or p'estilence have invaded the borders of our Grand Jurisdiction, and we have been permitted in prosperity and health to round out one more year of change and revolution. But how do we stand in regard to the law of progression? Are we better men and Masons? Are we holier in life and purer in thought? Have we risen to higher levels of fraternal love? Are our ears quickened to the cry of the distressed? Are our aspirations strengthened and increased in search of Truth? If we can affirmatively reply to these questions we need take but little thought of numerical increase' or material gain, for we shall have achieved Masonry, the cardinal tenets of which are brotherly love, relief and truth.
We find nothing unusual in the Address or in the Proceedings generally. The usual number of Miscellaneous Dispensations are accepted, as a matter of course, except that we really regret a number waiving the time limit. We think this fraught with evil in so nearly every case that, were ,it in our power, we would make of the practice-for it is such in some Jurisdictions-"a perpetual end." . Due attention was given the "Flood Sufferers", and the Grand Master refers to t·he Washington Memorial, Conferenc~ of Grand Masters, and the proposal of the Grand Lodge of Oregon for a Convention in San Francisco next year. He also grants Dispensations for the formation of five new lodges. Altogether, this Grand Jurisdiction seems to be prospering in every respect.

The one hundred and twenty-seventh 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, Octoher 28, A. L. 5913, with a large attendance of Grand and Past Grand Officers and visitors, besides representatives from most of the Lodges. We cannot see the necessity of giving a complete roster of the attendance, as is done in this and many other cases, and besides this item, it seems to us that very much is printed in the average Proceedings which might with great propriety and some economy of time and money, be omitted. If any shall quote the Scripture-"Physician, heal thyself", we simply answer that we are not responsible, nor our Most Worshipful Grand Secretary, but the Grand Lodge itself, which demands sometimes ,a prolixity and expense that we deprecate. In point of fact, the Annual before us is excellent in its makeup, and the suggestion above applies far more strongly to others than to it. The Address of the Grand Master covers thirty-two pages very handsomely and worthily. The sentiment which marks the exordium and appears here. and there through the Address is of high order. We cannot refrain from a quotation, regretting, however, that there is no reference to the S. A. T. U. nor to the mercies of the year: ~ * * * * * * * We are here as the proud representatives of Masonry in Georgia, an institution which has a firm foothold in the frigid zones, where Arctic storVls rage- in fury and glaciers plunge into the frozen seas, as well as in the bright warm isles which gem the Oriental seas, and are kissed by the fiery sun of the tropics. In every man there is some good. In tracing the history of great criminals it is not unusual to discover that they were once possessed of capabilities for good but when the hour of destiny struck, the fated hour that was to determine whether the soul should be a

majestic river flowing between orderly banks or the devastating flood, mad, rioting through the land, the hand of gentle guidance was absent and it became. a destroying force of anarchy. It would have been strange indeed had Ishmael loved his kind! Just as the tiny twig at brink of mountain spring may dominate the course of a giant stream so may one little act of brotherly love steer a soul to blessed Heaven. Man is a social, domestic creature, but a dependent one and if denied his natur;'l vent his moral parts are dislocated. Indifference is the monster paralysis, chilling alike the veins and arteries of social man, a withering blight, choking his aspirations, checking imlmlses and enervating energy. It is a cold November wind, settlingwith haggard pallor upon the landscape with that sad effect we have noted on faces which are not old but aged. It overcasts the bounding. brow of joy; quenches the eloquent lightness of the eye; hushes the merry music of laughter with rude stoppage as we have seen nature frozen into stolidity by sudden swirl of winter's wind. It neither climbs nor falls but suspended betwixt animation and death drips its upas moisture on all aro路und. Masonry detests and shuns this miasmatic debilitation.
The Grand Master made many visitations, laid several corner stones,路visited Alexandria, Va., to attend the Washington Memorial Association, which ,he endorses, and it is noted that thirty-nine Grand Lodges are new members of this Association. He states that the finances of the Grand Lodge are in excellent condition, and speaks in enthusiastic terms of the Masonic Home, mentioning the good work of the Eastern Star, which proposes to take the children when they reach the age limit in the Home lwd train them to some useful occupation.
DECISIONS.
He records many decisions, most of which are merely explanatory of the law, and as a rule all are of only local application and interest. Some, however, are at least unusual; for instance: 1. A hunch-back is necessarily a deformed man, and is .therefore ineligible for initiation. 2. An applicant, one of whose legs is three inches longer than the other is ineligible for initiation. 3. An applicant, whose left hand is crippled, 'and who has lost his thumb and two joints of the first finger of the left hand' is ineligible. 4. An applicant, who has lost two joints off of two fingers of the right hand is ineligible. 5 An applicant, who has lost his right thumb at the first joint is ineligible.

6. An applicant, who has lost part of the first three fing-ers of his right hand; first or index finger at the first joint, the second, half-way 路between the first and second 'joints and the third at the first joint, is ineligible. 7. An applicant whose thumb and index finger of the right hand lu-e sound but the two middle fing-ers are drawn against the palm of the hand, by reason of having been lacerated in an accident, and cannot be路 straightened, whose rig-ht arm is also slightly: drawn, ana. when as straight as possible, would form an angle of about 120 degrees, is i neligi ble.
Some of these \ve might endorse; to others we would seriously object if presented to our Grand Lodge for endorsement. We do not believe they represent the Masonic spirit, especially the first five. But-11. It is perfectly legal for a Lodge to elect~ Broth~r to servt: as '''-orshipful Master, who has never previously served the LOdge h any other capacity.
That may be true in Georgia-not with us, and we doubt if it should be so anywhere. It opens the door to many evils we 'cannot here discuss. However, all the Decisions, "from 1 to 34, inclusive", were approved by the Committee on Jurisprudence. NEW LODGES.
The Grand Master granted Dispensations for the creation of eight new Lodges during the year. We note that the Grand Matron of the Eastern Star was introdnced and delivered an address which was received with enthusiasm. She also presented t路he Grand Master with an Apron. From the record it would seem that this was while the Grand Lodge was at labor, but we suppose it had been called off and the fact was simply omitted in the record. We find no Report from the Masonic Home and only two or three incidental references thereto, although a bequest of $1,000 is reported and a collection of $86 in the Grand Lodge. This institu路 tion is yet in its infancy and we judge there is not much enthusiasm on the subject. CORRESPO~DENCE.
This Report occupies 152 pages and is an excellent piece of work. Missouri is accorded two pages, in which only kindly sentiments appear. For the good words touching the Correspondent we are grateful.

ANNUAL CO:M::M:UNICATIOK.
The forty-sixth Annual Communication of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of Idaho convened in the Masonic Temple in Pocatello, Idaho, the 9th day of September, A. D. 1913, A. L. 5913, and was called to order by the Most Worshipful Eza A. B\lrrell, Grand Master, at 10 o'clock a. m., and opened in Ample Form in the presence of a large number of Grand and Past Grand Officers, Representatives and Visitors.
GRAND MASTER'S ADDRESS.
The Most Worshipful Grand Master, Ezra A. Burrell, then delivered his annual address, from which we give brief extracts: Brethren of the Grand Lodge of Idaho: It affords me much pleasure to welcome you to this, the Fortysixth Annual Communication of this Grand Lodge, and I congratulate you and all visiting brethren upon the auspicious circumstances under which this session convenes, it being the first and only Annual Communication of the Grand .Lodge held outside the City of Boise since October 2nd, 1871. I feel that I can bespeak for you a most cordi.al and fraternal

welcome by all the members of Portneuf Lodge No. 18, who have exerted every effort to make this one of the memorable sessions of the Grand Lodge, and also a hearty and most royal welcome by all the citizens of this beautiful and progressive City of Pocatello. I am glad to be able to report that peace and harmony prevail throughout this jurisdiction and our relations with other Grand Jurisdictions are harmonious and pleasant, therefore, we enter upon the future with bright hopes and. bright promise, while we 'have reason to rejoice because of these favorable circu mstances surrounding us.
There is no record of religious services at the opening of the Grand Lodge nor any reference to the S. A. U. in the address from first to last. We mention this as an incident and not as a criticism. Three new Lodges were created by Dispensation during the year and several duly constituted. We may add here t-hat we can find no record of the number of Lodges and one statement of "62", is only a guess. It cannot be far wrong, however. There are several Decisions and "Suggestions", none of unusual character. In fact, we find nothing unusual about the Address. It is concise, well written and worthy. From the Report of Committee on Chartered Lodges we extract the following: ,Ve find that during the year there has been 289 brothers tiated, 276 passed and 273 raised, 154 admitted, 6 reinstated, ;64 jected, 62 suspended, 3 expelled, 57 died, 99 dimitted, and that have a present membership of 4,017, as shown by the tabulated turns of lodges attached hereto, a net gain of 212 members for year.
inirewe rethe
This does not exactly agree with figures elsewhere obtained, but, as the French say, "N'importe". It is near enough.
FINANCIAL.
The finances of the Grand Lodge are in good condition and the Charity Fund路 aggregates more than $68,000, and the hope of establishing a Masonic Home grows larger.
FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE.
This, from the excellent pen of Brother Geo. E. Knepper, deals kindly with Missouri, in two pages; much of which is given to extracts from the report on Correspondence, and th'e rest to address of Grand Master.

The Proceedings of the Grand Lodge of iIHnois came to us ill a huge volume, the largest that has come to our table from any Grand Lodge. New York, though boasting to be the Hlmpire State, must hide her diminished head so far at least as the outward expression of -her Masonic record is concerned, in the face of this latest output of the Grand Lodge of Illinois. If we were not assured of the probity of the Worthy Grand Secretary we might almost conclude that he was in partnership, or at least in active sympathy, with his publisher and also with the postal service of the United States! Seriously, we greatly admire the painstaking and patient prolixity of our good brother, as well as the completeness of detail eX'hibited in the last Annual. Evidently he has a genius for hard work. And he well introduces the volume by an excellent portrait of the Passing Grand Master, D. D. Darrah. SEVE]\"TY-FOUlU'II ANNUAL COl\I1\1UNICATION.
This began its work October 14, 1913, at 10 a. m., with the usual ceremonies of opening. The prayer of the Grand Chaplain was peculiarly impressive. Several telegrams, regretting enforced absence, were read by the Grand Secretary and he was instructed to answer these, from Past Grand Masters, in fitting terms. After other preliminary matters the Grand Master delivered the ANiXUAL ADDRESS,
in which he congratulates the Grand Lodge upon the substantial prosperity which has prevailed throughout the year, as evidenced in the increase of lodges and members, and on the number of lodges owning their lodge buildings.
1914. J

37
He states that Foreign Relations are most satisfactory and that peace and harmony prevail within and without. He alludes in fitting terms to the many fraternal dead in that and other Grand Jurisdictions and refers them to the proper committee.
NEW LODGES.
He reports the creation of eleven new lodges during th路e year, after careful investigation. He also states that there "is a tendency :n our larger cities for brethren who have failed to secure office in the lodges to which they belong to seek to gratify their ambition by the formation of a new lodge", and he wisely suggests that in such cases a Past Master should be appointed to preside. He reports the dedication of fifteen Halls, eleven in person and four by proxy. He also laid several corner stones, !leclining to permit this ceremony in several cases, to-wit, for a jail, a Government building and a commercial building, the upper floor of which wa~ to be used for a Masonic Hall. He confesses his embarrassment in this matter and suggestsrthat the I~w be clarified, that there may be uniformity of action.
MASONIC HOI\-ms.
Illinois has two Masonic Homes, and of these the Grand Master says: The Masons of Illinois have a right to feel justly .proud of the. two splendid Homes which are maintained by the Grand Lodge. These institutions are in a good condition and are being well managed. Every cfroit has been made to administer their affairs economically and to keep within the Grand Lodge appropriation. The Home at Sullivan is practically full and the time is not far distant when the erection of another building at that institution will claim the attention of the Grand Lodge.
And he adds a paragraph which should be borne in mind by every Jurisdiction which has a Masonic Home: I find that there is a disposition among some lodges to reinstate old and suspended members simply to get them into the Home. This procedure is very often aided and abetted by relatives who are very glad of an opportunity to shift the burden to the Grand Lodge. Applications for admission are frequently made by brethren who have been reinstated but a short time. The question is one which the
38
Appendix.
l Sept.-Oct.
Grand Lodge should deal with to prevent imposition and I would recommend that the Grand Lodge take the question under advisement and fix a limit of time which a suspended member must have been reinstated in order to secure admission to the Home.
QUESTIONS -REFERRED.
The Grand Master exhibits a rare modesty in declining to give any Decisions whatever, but he "refers"¡ a number to the Grand Lodge. Some of these we give: I-Is it proper to place upon the altar a copy of the New Testament and to obligate candidates thereon? 2-Can a lodge appropriate funds from its treasury to maintain a baseball club composed of members of the lodge? 3-Is it proper for a Masonic lodge to hold a picnic on Sunday at which a prQgram of various games and athletic sports is carried out? 4-Is it permissible to hold dances in a Masonic lodge room to â&#x20AC;˘ which non-Masons are invited? , 6-Can a member of a lodge object to the visitation of an honorary member of the lodge an!l will such ~bjection be valid?
He introduces a statement which is very frank and will be surprising to many:
PATRON SAINTS.
We are told that in ancient times lodges were dedicated to King Solomon and in modern times to the Sts. John. I have found, however, some lodges that do not recognize either' King Solomon or the Sts. John but who have selected some member of the craft upon whom they lavish their affection and interest. Sometimes this patron saint is not even a member of the lodge, but nevertheless directs its policy, instructs its officers and in plain English runs the entire works. Not only has the patron saint assumed unlimited powers but has received unwarranted remuneration in the shape of money and handsome gifts.
Now, we have heard of a Grand Lodge run principally by one man, and therefore always in session when he is awake, but had no idea that any subordinate lodges, especially in such a jurisdiction as Illinois, was in such case, We fully endorse the criticism of the Grand Master.'

SMOKING IN TIlE LODGE
ROO~:I.
He says that the edict of the Grand Lodge prohibiting smoking during any ceremonial work has been well observed and that the only criticism is that the Grand Lodge did not go far enough and that it should have forbidden smoking in th~ lodge at any time. So say we!
REPORTS ON MASONIC HOMES.
. There ar-e 88 persons in the Home for the Aged and 85 in the Orphans' Home. For admission to the former there were 37 applications during the year and there were many more inquiries as to the possibility of securing admission for persons altogether helpless physically or mentally. Our brethren here and elsewhere are facing a very serious problem at this point. The cost of maintenance per capita is not given and would be difficult to estimate, as they have a farm in connection .and the reports are complicated.
FOREIGNCORRESPONDENC路E.
The report on Correspondence is voluminous, covering 244 pages. It is well written and instructive. Missouri is recognized路 in several pages, without special criticism, although he states that we recognize fifteen Grand Bodies which are considered Clandestine ~by Illinois. He also refers again to the visit of our Grand Master to the Scottish Rite and our comment thereon. We will allow his opinion to stand with no contradiction-from us.

Previous to the opening of the Grand Lodge for the Annual Session the meeting was called to order in connection with some fine selections by the Indianapolis Masonic Quartette. Brother Max Merritt of Evansville, Ind., delivered a most entertaining address.
NINETY-THIRD SESSION.
The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of the Ancient and Honorable Fraternity of Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Indiana convened in ninety-third Annual Meeting, in the Grand Lodge Hall of the Masonic Temple, in the City of Indianapolis, at 10 o'clock a. m., Tuesday, the 26th day of May, A. D. 1914, A. L. 5914, being the fourth Tuesday in May, ninety-seventh year of the Grand Lodge, and was opened in due form in the presence of many Past Grand Officers and visitors, besides Representatives from 545 of the 552 Chartered Lodges. The Grand Master introduced ollis Annual Address, as follows: My Brethren, anothcr Masonic year is casting its last lIngcring shadow toward the east, and I bid you a cordial welcome to the Ninety-third Annual Communication of this Grand Lodge. I earnestly hope that your presence here and your participation in its affairs may be an inspiration to you, and through you to the Lodges which you have the honor to represent. True to the teachings of Masonry, at the beginning of every important undertaking, let us return our heartfelt thanks to the Supreme Architect of the Universe for the manifold blessings and comforts which we are priviledged to enjoy, and earnestly implore from Him a continuance of His watchful guidance, loving mercies, and manifold blessings for the future.

I have an abiding confidence in the future of Masonry in Indiana and throughout the world. I believe in all sincerity that its star is in the ascendency. And in the spirit of sincere optimism I believe the great good Masonry will do yet in the civilization of the world and in the uplift of mankind is beyond the realization of man. Masonry throughout the world is standing today, just as it has stood throughout the countless ages of the past, for that trinity of principles that have ever been the dominant attributes of our order-

the Fatherhood of God, the Brotherhood of Man, and the Immortality of the Soul. Oppression, superstition, ignorance and intolerance are diametrically opposed to the teachings of Masonry. 'Vhile truth, knowledge, temperance, justice love and harmony are taught and promulgated by our fraternit)'.
The Address is somewhat lengthy, containing nearly fifty pages, but is a worthy document and ,maintains an exalted tone throughout.
DECISIONS.
The Grand Master states that he has rendered hundreds of decisions, but none of such character as to be reported, or, as we understand him, none except such as were already incorporated in Masonic law and usage. Such, we t-hink, could hardly be called Decisions, but, rather, opinions or statements of existing laws. It is complimentary to thp Grand Master, however, that no Decisions are reported. Our laws are often cumbered unnecessarily with decisions or rulings which only serve to render obscure what is otherwise plain.
NEW I.ODGES.
Eight lodges were constituted during the year and dif'T,;>ensations granted for three. Many dispensations for ordinary and minor purposes were granted, principally for elections, laying corner stones and dedications.
lI1ASON lC HOM.ES.
On this.subject he speaks as .follows: No less than twenty-seven of the Grand JurisdictIons of the United States maintain Masonic Homes and other jurisdictions have Homes in contemplation. And in these twenty-five jurisdictions there is an annual per capita tax for the benefit of the Home ranging from twenty-five cents to $1.50 per annum. And in four states there is added to initiation fee from $3.00 to $5.50. Massachusetts levies no per capita tax of any kind, but every initiate contributes $5 in addition to his initiation toward a permanent Masonic Home fund. Many thousand unfortunate, aged Masons, their widows and orphans are being well cared for in these homes and. the children are educated and taught useful professions and callings.

Thou Eternal Goodness, whose blessing we reverently inVOke, do Thou preside over the company here assembled in the name of freedom, friendship and fraternity among men.

Let it be so, we humbly pray, and when we have finished our labors in the dim country of this world, rcceive us into Thy clearer presence, even into the house not made with hands, eternai in the heavens. In Thy great name, Amen.
After this an address of welcome was given, which was in fine form and was most happily responded to by the Grand Master. Four hundred and seventy of the five hundred and twenty lodges were represented, and with Grand Officers and permanent members the total attendance was 810, all of whom are named, the recital occupyi~g 15 pages. THE ANNUAL ADDRESS.
The Grand Master introduces his Annual Report with several paragraphs of fine sentiment, but makes no reference to the S. A. T. U. except in his necrology. However, this is merely incidental' and not intended as' a criticism. We quote him, speaking of the dead: When we stand by the side of the open grave and see all that is mortal of those whom we held se dear lowered "into that narrow house prepared for all the living," who can describe that dumb feeling of sorrow, that longing for a clearer understanding of life's mysteries, that intense desire to lift the veil and go just a little way beyond its dark shadow. But the great sorrow and the keen suffe;ing .must be borne alone until relief comes through Him who wept while 'others slept. Though we crave sympathy and a clearer unjerst2.nding, we must, like Him, take them to the Father and leave. them there, for He has willed it so. The rea.lly great troubles are the ones we seldom speak of even to our closest friends. There seems to be some barrier in the way of laying bare a troubled heart, not becaus"l there is not lQve an(l sympathy in l1umll-ll l1ea r ts l but be-

cause Vie feel that they may not understand, and it is the hopeles::;ness of finding one who does understand that shuts the door of the heart and turns the key that none may know what is hidden within. Realizing this, we can give them of our sympathy and perhaps speak aword that will lift their thoughts from the bitterness that has come into their lives and help them to :;ee that a golden day will break at last, fo1'. "Dark sIdes must clear, and when the clouds are past, One golden day will redeem a weary year."
The Grand Master makes no Decisions and refuses many Dis-. pensations-especially to reballot, which we heartily commend. There is far too much laxity in this matter and there are altogether too many Dispensations granted for emergencies that should never have occurred. Our lodges should be taught the necessity of greater care and method in the management of their affairs and that many of these appeals for help in the vlay of a Special Dispensation are unworthy.
GRAND MASTERS' CONFERENCI<;.
He dwells at length on the meeting of the Grand Masters In St Louis, in April, compliments the brethren of the city and or Missouri for the excellent arrangements for the occasion and the courtesies bestowed.
REPORT ON CORRF;SPONDENCE.
Th8 Grand Correspondent presentes a most excellent report and -his introductio~ is quite interesting. We would be glad to quote extensively, but want of space forbids. We must, however, give a sample of its quality: . We have quoted largely from the inspired utterances of our Masoni.:J prophets, believing that these truly great men hart a right to be heard in their own words, words worthy of being sown broadcast on account of the beautiful flowers of love-- and life which they cause to spring up everywhere. Following the advice given by Brother Joseph W. Eggleston, our bel.. ved comr.ade of the round table, we have "cut .out statistics as of no possible interest to our readers, obituaries, except in rare instances, and culled gems of oratory and items of genera,! Ma,~Qnic interest and information."
Missouri is treated most kindly.

FLAVJ<:LLE,
G. S.
As a rule the GraiId Lodges of the Old vVorld do not pUblish statistics as to lodges, members, etc., and at the best we ean, generally, only approximate. Last year we venturtd a guess, for it was little more, in which we now think we were wide of the _mark, and we are not disposed to copy the guesses of other brethren, some of which we have before us, . The death of the Earl of Abercorn, who had been Grand Master for a number of years, occurred just at the close of the la:>t Masonic year and we noted the event. His place was filled by the election of t-he Earl of Donoughmore, which seems to be received by the craft with great appreciation. His photo, which introduces this volume, indicates a man in the early prime of life, whose appearance endorses his fitness for the high position he occupies. He was not able to be present at the Annual Convocation, but expressed his regret in a well-worded letter which was read to the Grand Lodge by the Grand Secretary. The Deputy Grand Master refer.s to the Past and Present Grand Mast~r as follows in his opening address: Two very striking events have occurred in the present year, which have been referred to in this Report. We have lost a Grand Master, and we have gained a Grand l\i[aster; we have lost a good Grand Master, and we have gained a good Grand Master. The death of our late beloved Grand Maste-r, the Duke of Abercorn, was to me a. most painful event, because I had known him for so many years, and I had experienced so much kindness from him. '

Brethren, in one word, I congratulate you most sincerely in having as our new Grand Master the Right Honorable the Earl of DonoughInore.

have the same number of beneficiaries-101. Besides which they annually report a large number of donations to old or indigent brethren and to widows and orphans of Masons. Seven new lodges were created during the year and the reports indicate a most prosperous condition generally. In fact,there seems to be an unusual enthusiasm throughout the Jurisdiction and many are being added to the number of Master Masons. There is no report on Correspondence, and, in fact, this is a feature which seems confined in large measure to American Grand Lodges.

From the Craft at large within this Grand Jurisdiction, however, 542 of our brethren hav~ laid aside the tools and implements of this earthly labor and have entered into their rest. 'I'he sprig of acacia which ever mal'1{s the final bed of every true Mason speaks to us of the hope of immortality for each of those who have left us, and we add to the farewell words,"alas, my brother," the tribute of our hearts to the memory of those who are gone. A fitting memorial will be given by the Committee on Necrology in honor of our deceased members.

At the close of the last annual report the number of members was 38,877. During' the year there was an increase of 3,539, and a decrease from various causes of 1,748, leaving a net increase of 1,791, and making a total membership at the close of this year's record of 40,668. This is a record of which we may well be proud, not only because of its number, but because of路 the kind of men which make up the membership of the subordinate lodges of Ancient Craft Masonry in Kansas."
NEW LODGES,
The Grand Master granted Dispensations for four lodges during the year. He personally conducted the exercises in laying four corner stones and granted Dispen~atioil.s for a number of- others.
SPECIAL DISPENSATIONS.
Eighty-three Special Dispensation.s were granted during the year, most of which were for conferring degrees out of time and .for which, except in five cases, a feG of $5 ",,'as charged-$270 in all, which, by the by, is not a bad idea.. It tends to prevent requests for the irregular Dispensations and also brings in some revenue to the Grand Lodge. MASONIC HOME.
He reports the Home in fine condition, with a membership (jf forty adults and fifty-two children. The expenses of maintenance was $17,584.32, being an average per capita of $195.38. Of this he says: This Home is not now and was a hospital, and while in connection has bestowed its charity with no unfortunate, the old and disabled,

could not properly become members of the Home, and will continue to do so, yet, in my judgment, the enlargement of these rules so as to permit what might be termed hospital cases to be provided for in the Home would establish an unfortunate precedent and entail an expense far beyond our meaI1s. It would necessitate an increase of the dues of each individual member to such an extent as would be burdensome, if not prohibitive, in many localities.
FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE.
M. W. Matt W. Miller presents a most excellent report, in which he regrets that his Grand Lodge does not appear in our Report on Correspondence. We hasten to assure him that the only reason was we did not receive a copy of the Proceedings-why, we do not understand. He refers to an incident in the history of our Grand Lodge, as follows: There was soon to be an election of Grand Officers of the Grand Lodge of Masons of Missouri, and some one who doubtless believed implicity the legend that Masonry was instituted by King Solomon, but who shuddered at the possibility of Missouri Masonry coming under the rule of one of like ancestry, proceeded to instruct his uninformed brethren by an unsigned circular distributed broadcast in Missouri against the dire eonsequen'ces that would result from the election of a Jew to the line of office, possibly culminating in his being selected as Grand Master. The contemptible proceeding contemplated, and its equally contemptible originator, were severely sat upon, with the result that the Grand Lodge of Missouri has enjoyed two :rp.ost successful years under the administration of the one once marked for slaughter by the political assassin.
All of w.hich is "in line", except that the administration referred. to lasted only one year. But there would have been no "uprising" had he been elected for two years or even longer. We have had no more popular or worthy Grand Master than M. W. Brother Lampert, whom everybody knows and loves as "Jake". We appreciate the good words of the Grand Correspondent in -reference to ourself and trust we may in some sort merit all that he says.

No better agency that Freemasonry exists for the accomplish"me"nt of such laudable work. Freemasonry recognizes no special theological doctrine or political opinion, no' special nationality or sect. It is founded' on the broad trinity of the Fatherhood of God, the Brotherhood of man and the Immortality of the soul. It embraces men differing widely in religious, political, economic and other opinions; men repr"esenting widely different spheres in life. It affords a meeting place where all such differences are subordinated, and where all stand on a common level, alike, equals and brothers; on a plane where manhood is made the basis of life, and where allegory, symbol and precept direct the way to a wider and stronger brotherhood and a higher evolution. It admonishes a man to rise superior to ignorance, bigotry, persecution, superstition and other associate abominations peculiar to the dark ages, to practice Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth, and to stand unspotted before the world. It expounds the noblest maxims and principles of action of which the mind has conception, and thus presents an ideal beyond human attainment. "When is a man a Mason? When he can look over the rivers, the hills, and the far horizon with a profound sense of his own littleness in the vast scheme of things, and yet have faith, hope and courage. When he knows that down in his heart every man is as noble, as vile, as divine, as diabolic, and as lonely as himself, and seeks to know, to forgive and to love his fellow man. When he has learned how to make friends, and to keep them, and above all, how to keep friends with himself. When. he loves flowers, can hunt the birds without a gun, and feels the thrill of an old forgotten joy when he hears the laugh of a little child. When he can be happy and high-minded' amid the meaner drudgeries of

SEMI-ANNUAL COMMVNICATIONS.
The two hundred and fiftieth semi-annual Communication began its session with the usual ceremonies on t~e second Tuesday of May, 1913, at 8 p. m. The Grand Master spoke informally with reference to the general condition of the Craft and also paid a glowing tribute to the memory of the .late Edward T. Schultz, Past Senior Grand Warden and Grand Correspondent, among other things stating that Brother Schultz had few peers as a Masonic writer and dispenser of Masonic light and knowledge. The Grand Master also stated that on May 1st, 1913, he had granted a dispensation to certain brethren to form a Lodge in Cumberland, to be known as Fort Cumberland Lodge. He also gave a history of his visit to Indianapolis, Ind., to attend a meeting of the Grand Masters of the several jurisdictions of the United States.
A SPECIAL GRAND COl\IMUNICATION
was held Tuesday afternoon, .Tune 24th, 1913, in the new Masonic Temple at Cumberland for the purpose of constituting Cumberland Lodge No. 211. A number of the Grand Officers were in attendance, as, also, a due representation of the lodges. ANNUAL COMMUKICATION.
The Grand Lodge of Maryland opened the one hundred and twenty-seventh Annual Communication on the third Tuesday of November, 1913, at 8 p. m. Aftet the usual ceremonies the Gran1 Master made a verbal address of matters of interest to the Craft in that Jurisdiction, after which the Annual Reports of the Grand Officers were received and various matters of local interest were considered, among which was the following proposed change in the Constitution: Change Article 23, Section 9, to read as follows: Sec. 9. No Lodge in the City of Baltimore, 01' in any other city in the Stat&, having twenty thousand or more inhabitants, shall confer the three degrees of Masonry for a less sum than fifty dollars, nor any Lodge outside of such cities for less a sum than twenty-five dollars; provided that any Lodge may confer .the degrees without fee upon any minister of the Gospel.
This will not be decided until the meeting next May, but we venture meantime to endorse the proposition, exceptiI;J.g only the last

provision. Our observation has long since convinced us that it is altogether unwise to confer the degrees ~pon a minister without charge. It is an old adage that a thing is worth what it costs, and this rarely fails in this pafticular case. A minister thus favored-if it be a favor-will usually esteem Masonry as worth little, and we do not now remember a single case of this sort where the minister was any special advantage to Masonry, or in which he was personaPy benefited thereby. Much of the volume is taken up with lists of names, lodges, ,etc., etc., but a sufficiency of information is contained to show that the Grand Lodge is in a prosperous condition generally. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE.
In the case of the Grand Correspondent, Worshipful and Reverend Henry Branch, his "modesty bespeaks his merit". We quote his introduction: Apprecia:ting most highly the honor conferred and the privileges 0njoyed a closer contact with the work and association with the workers causes a timid man to shrink. "The Knights of the Round Table" is too ambitious a title, it disheartens one fr.om flashing. his maiden sword in such a presence. If, with uncovered head, he may stand a while at the door, present his Certificate of Appointment, and then retire while he leaves his !;croll in your hands, he- will await the summons to a seat at the foot of the table. These notes are scissored, rather than penned, as becomes the neophyte, and it may be, they are addressed to another constituency than usually enjoys these reports, and this is really the aim of the reporter; to tell such things as will attract and instruct the "other man." Reporters are tempted to be debaters, and they love to parry and thrust. It may be that a different apP:'oach to the questions mooted in the several Grand Jurisdictions, while not so interesting to the Knights of the Round Table, may prove of greater interest to the Brethren everywhere dispersed.
As indicated, he uses his scissors freely and wisely, giving many excellent selections from the 61 Grand Lodges reviewed, interspersed with judicious and kind1y comments upon the various questions which present themselves to his attention. Altogether the work is most creditable, and the a;pology of his introduction was unnecessary.

And we can honestly commend the good taste and good sense of the Grand Secretary in the preparation and- publication of the Annual Report. The volume is appropriately introduced by the portrait of the Grand Master, followed on the next page by a fine plate containing pictures of the remaining Grand Officers. The Grand Master is quite a young looking man, but -he will look older and feel that way before he gets through the year, if his experience is anything like ours was in the same position. There are several other photos of distinguished members of the Grand Lodge-all of them excellent. These embellishments greatly relieve the monotony of the ordinary Proceedings and are good for other reasons.
SEVENTIETH ANNUAL COMMUNICATION.
T'he Grand Officers, Past Grand Officers and Representatives of the constituent lodges of Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Michigan assembled in the auditorium of the Masonic Temple, in the City of Flint, at high 12, OD Tuesday, the 26th day of May, A. D. 1914, in accordance with the provisions of the constitution and by-laws, for the purpose of holding the seventieth Annual Com-munication of the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted 1\'lasons of the State of Michigan. After the usual address of welcome from the Mayor of the City, in which he tenderly alludes to the absence of the lamented Grand Master, Francis D. Clarke, the Acting Grand Master, Wm. H.

containing the names of 44 Grand Masters of the Jurisdiction who hrave been summoned to the presence of the Supreme Grand Master. Three of these have died since the last Annual Communication. Several distinguished visitors were present and' were received with due honors. Also, Past Grand Master Wm. T. Mitchell, 97 years of age May 27th, who had journeyed from Port Huron to meet with the Grand Lodge, was received with special marks of distinction and madE;) a short but fitting response. The Grand Secretary reported the presence of 14 Grand, and the same number of Past Grand Officers, present; also, 151 visitors and 413 Representatives of lodges, with some others, making a total attendance of 655. Fifteen lodges were not represented.
GRAND MASTER'S ADDRESS.
Most Worshipful Brother William M. 'Perrett, Acting Grand Master, then read obis Annual Address, as follows: To the Craft of Michigan: The end that comes to all things in this world, is come. at last, to our Masonic year. Fresh from God's hand, it came to us . three hundred and sixty-five days ago, a priceless gift of opportunity. Between the first day and this last day, upon which fall the lingering rays of the setting sun, there has stretched the well worn path of duty, which only they have faithfully trod, who. with untiring zeal, have fulfilled all the Obligations, great and small. growing out of their relations to God, their country. neighbors, families and themselves. This prosaic path of duty runs not always over level ground, nor is it always. bordered with pleasant meadows and attractive flowers. Now over hills and down into the valleys beneath it stretches. encumbered ofttimes with stones that hurt our feet. and perchance, in moments of unwatchfulness, cause us to stumble. if not to fall. . Other paths there are in life which seem more alluring at times and more easily followed. There is the path that leads to wealth,
56
[Sept.-Oct.
Appendix.
trodden by innumerable feet, in quest of what is, in the mind of many, the greatest thing in the world. The path to fame finds many following fast after an undying place in the hearts and affections of their fellowmen. On to unrealized ambitions, winds the path that many vainly follow, hoping against hope, through a lon~, unhappy life. Numberless, like the sands of the seashore, or the stars tha.t "011 in brilliant majesty through silent realms of space, are those who walk, aye, sometimes run with eager feet, in the path that leads to gratilication of passionate desires. But better far' than all these paths is that toilsome path of duty, which leads us, at last, to the goal of serene satisfaction.
The Grand Master presents the names of many distinguished Masons, who, during the year, have journeyed into the unseen, according to each a beautiful tribute, often in poetic terms. Of our lamented Brother Chesley A. Mosman, Deputy Grand Master, Grand Lodge, A. F. & A. M. of Missouri, 1913-1914, who died January 31, aged 72 years, 6 months and 2 days, he writes as follows: "Lay me low, my work is doneI am weary, lay me low, 'Vhere the wild flowers woo the sun, 'Vhere the balmy breezes blow, Where the butterfly takes wing, Where the aspens, drooping grow, Where the young birds chirp and sing, I am weary, let me go. have. striven hard and long, In the world's unequal fight, Always to resist the wrong, Always to maintain the right, Taking, giving, blow for blowBrothers, I have played my part, A nd am weary, let me go."
He also fittingly and beautifully reports the exit of our Past Grand Master Allen: ETHELBERT FORESTER ALLEN. Grand Master, Grand Lodge, A. F. & A. M., of Missouri, 1898-1899. Born December 31, 1855.
Died August 26, 1913.
The funeral cortege, under Knights Templar escort, proceeded to Calvary Baptist church where the church ser'vice was impressively re.ndered by the pastor, Rev. Bro. Donald Duncan Monroe. At the conclusion of the religious ceremony the Grand Master 'conducted the Masonic burial service and then the Grand Lodge of A. F. & A. M. sorrowfully bore the body of our dear brother to his last resting

place in beautiful Mount Washington cemetery. We laid the evergreen on his still and pulseless breast in testimony of our love and veneration for his noble qualities; and we planted the acacia, not only to mark the spot where he reposes in his last sleep, but as an ('vidence of our abiding faith in the immortality of the soul. Our brother will be raised by the strong grip of the Lion's paw, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, to enter into the everlasting rest and refreshment that awaits the faithful Freemason in the Grand Lodge on High. Peace to his ashes.
Nor does he forget our faithful and honored Grand Tyler, John W. Owens, to whom he pays a worthy tribute. The Grand Master reports at length various functions, such as' dedications, installations, corner stones, etc., and many Dispensations for minor purposes, besides the creation of two new lodges. Of the Grand Masters' Conference in St. Louis, he speaks as follows,: The Fifth Conference of Grand Masters of 'th'e World, convened in Tuscan Temple, St. Louis, Mo., on Thursday morning last, at ten o'clock. Previous conferences have been held at Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Indianapolis, but none of so ';ide a scope, nor so largely attcndeti as that which the Grand Master of Missouri, M. W. Bro. Van Freemont Boor, called to order promptly at the hour named, last Thursday forenoon. Fifty-seven Grand Masters were invited to participate, and on roll call, Grand Jurisdictions were represented by thirty-seven Grand Masters and ten Past Grand Masters, representing in all, forty-seven Grand JuriSdictions. The week will go down into history as one of the most important in Universal Freemasonry. The Conference of Grand Mastcrs ,vas a grand success from every viewpoint. The growth and ever increasing power of the organization was shown as it never has been shown before; the attendance of Grand Lodge representatives was larger than at a路ny previous conference, and the discussion of the various topics under consideration, produced a closer relationship, with possibilities of more uniform legislation than has hitherto been experienced in the various jurisdictions.
THE MASONIC HOME.
He commends the Masonic Home and its management in strong terms, stating that it is now practically full and that the time is near when further provision must be made for those who need our aid. He also recommends that $25,000 be set aside from the funds of the Grand Lodge to build a Hospital.

WASHINGTON MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION.
He cordially approves of the work of this Association and suggests that the sum of $5,000 be set apart for that enterprise, to be paid in five equal annual installments. 'rhe Committee modified this sufficiently to have a strong string attached to the donation, while granting it (?).
REPORT ON CORRESPONDENCE.
This report covers 258 pages and is altogether a most excellent production. Our good Brother is somewhat handicapped by the standing edict of his Grand Lodge touching his work, which is as follows: "The Grand Secretary shall also be ex-officio a committee on correspondence, and it shall be his duty to examine the correspond(-nee and reports from other Grand Lodges in correspondence with this Grand Lodge." The committee shall refrain from criticism of such proceedings, as well as promulgating- the opinion of the committee upon decisions, laws and regulations of this or any other Grand Lodge.
But for this regulation we are sure that our wise and witty Brother would say many things of even greater interest than those he gives out, which is saying much! This provision of the Grand Lodge, however, might well be copied by some other Grand Lodges with far greater propriety and profit. For we have, occasional~y, met with expressions from Correspondents which indicated dyspepsia or senility. This rule might serve a happy purpose in such cases-though never really needed by Michigan and the great majority of Grand Lodges. Brother Winsor is kind to Missouri, according to us six pages, largely quotations, which in itself is generally a compliment. He speaks or" our Report, or, rather, the IntrOduction, as "interesting", and copies it in extenso, only omitting the closing paragraph.

SIXTY-FIRST路 ANNUAL COMMUNICATION.
The sixty-first Annual Communication of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of Minnesota was held in the Masonic Temple, Sixth street and Smith avenue, in the City of St. Paul, commencing at high 12 on Wednesday, January 21, A. D. 1914, A. L. 5914. All the Grand Officers were present and 228 lodges were represented out of 255 on the roll during the session. After the usual preliminaries the Grand Master delivered the Annual Address, from which we extract briefly: Brethren of the Grand Lodge,\Vith the close of this Annual Communication, the sixty-first year of existence of this Grand Lodge will have passed into history, and it is with gratitude to an all wise and merciful Providence, to whom we have reverently lifted our hearts in acknowledgment of His kindness and guidance, that we are permitted to meet at this Communication and enjoy the blessings of Masonic privileges. In accordance with the Constitution of this Grand 'Lodge, I herewith submit to you an account of my Official acts during the recess, the state and condition of Masonry in the Jurisdiction, and certain recommendations that I think expedient and necessary,
The Grand Master records the constituting of three lodges, duly chartered at the last session, and also the laying of three corner stones, of which latter he speaks in terms of felicitation:
60
Appendix.
[Sept.-Oct.
It has been 'a great honor for me as Grand Master to have laid two corner stones during the past year, but it has been a greater honor to 9ur Institution that the corner stones were those of Masonic Temples. It is a matter of congratulation when the Brethren of a Lodge become so impressed with the value of our lnstitution that, by a sacrifice of time and generous contributions of money and material, they unite in the construction of a Temple. They thus publicly display their love for, and belief in, the teachings of _our order and their action cannot help but be given thoughtful consideration by the community.
We are very glad that this same spirit is operating in splendid. measure in our own Grand Jurisdiction and we trust it may con路 tinue until every lodge shall have for its own a substantial dwelling place. SPECIAL DISPENSATIONS.
Many requests were granted, some of which we regret, although seen in many such cases-and some are refused, of whioh we quote: The making of a Mason at sight. To waive a year's residence as a requisite in petitioning for the degrees. Three requests. To permit those, strikingly and conspicuously maimed, who could not perform the requirements of Masonry, to petition for the degrees. Three requests. To permit the use of accessories in the conferring of the third degree.
We hardly understand the third: And if by accessories is meant the use of the stereopticon and a simple and supposedly representative dress, we do not endorse-though of course that is a matter of small moment. . As to the first, we heartily approve, although we remember with regret that this Grand Lodge bestows this privilege upon the Grand Master. It seems to us a dangerous innovation and a wrong inflicted on the candidate. But-Two new lodges rec~ived Dispensations and two other petitions were submitted to the Committee. DECISIONS.
Several Decisions were presented, all of which doubtless were in accordance' with the laws and regulations of that. Jurisdiction, but yet sound strangely to us; for instance:
1914.]
Appendix.
61
The Master of a subordinate Lodge is the judge of a candidate's proficiency', in thc lectures of the first and second degrees, before advancement. The Constitution of the Grand Lodge places the Master in control of the work for the Lodge, and while the examination of a candidate's proficiency is made in open Lodge and while others may differ in opinion from the Master, there must be a final decision by the Master as to a candidate's proficiency.
It seems to us rather incongruous to put the judgment of the Master against that of the entire lodge. TREASURER'S REPORT.
The Grand Treasurer reported assets of $41,526.97, with expenditures of $17,615.38. Also for the Widows and Orphans' Fund a grand total of $102,899.55. The Grand Secretary reported returns from all the lodges and that all are, for the most part, in excellent condition, although fortynine reported a total loss of membership of one hundred and thirtyfour. MASONIC HOME.
The creation of a Masonic Home is being agitated and considered, but as yet. the way is not open, although it is confidently expected that it can be acconiplished in the near future. CORRESPONDENCE.
The report, covering ninety pages, is an excellent piece of work. Our good Brother Todd occupies little space in quotation and uses fine discrimination in his statement of facts and comments thereon. He accords to Missouri nearly three pages in a most kindly way, and compliments the Correspondent with a quotation of more than a page. Thanks.

We were so unfortunate last year as not to receive a copy of the Proceedings of this Grand Lodge and we note, (rom the Report on Correspondence, that our Proceedings were not received by the Grand Correspondent, or at least there is no notice of the fact. Personally, we never fail to review as best we can any Annual that comes to our table. From the initial page of this volume Grand Master Robert A. Carson smiles blandly upon the world as if well satisfied with himself, as, indeed, he should be, since he occupies the interesting and honorable position of Grand Master of a jurisdiction so really "Grand" as that of Mississippi. We have great sympathy for the printer and a sincere desire to see him prosper, but we frankly confess that it would gratify us greatly if all our Secretaries and editors could learn to condense and to dispense with a great deal that is found in o'ur Annuals that to us, at least, seems an unnecessary use of space and a consequent and unnecessary expense in printing and postage. No doubt we are guilty with the rest, but if so, we should reform.

ADDRESS OF GRAND MASTER.
After the formal opening of the Grand Lodge the Grand Master delivered his Annual Address, which is exceedingly brief, covering less than six pages and dealing only with matters of routine, s.ave only a personal paragrap"h at the close, in which he refers to physical affliction which has greatly hindered him in the discharge of his duties. He gives a long list of disti'llguished dead, to which he appends this pertinent paragraph: Brethren, "How wonderful is death, whose reign is in the tainted sepulchre, who demands, and receives, the homage of ,all created things. His subjects are the monarch and the peasant, the rich and the poor, the great and the humble. All, all alike, bow in submission, to his sovereign power. 0 death! Who shall resist thy Imperious mandate? Who shall bid thee defiance? Who shall contest with thee for victory? Thou who hast, through long ages, touched with putrefying breath and left, of all the beautiful and great, naught but loathsomeness and ruin." May we alIso live and act that when we come to die, ",ve can wrap the drapery of our couch about us and lie down to pleasant dreams. Though thc hand of death has been laid upon many of us, yet we have that sweet consolation that they who have gone before us have lifted the veil from that Lodge into which the great Nazarene has laid open the way by His brotherly love and sacrifice.
He refers to the Masonic Home as in splendid condition and pays a strong tribute to the Superintendent and 'Matron. He appoints Grand Representatives; he grants DispensatiO'lls for five new lodges: he refuses all Dispensations to ballot out of time, "believing that 30 days is short enough"; good! He constituted six lodges by proxy; he returns thanks to Gr~nd Secretary Speed and to M. W. Brothers O. L. McKay and others, for valuable assistance; he "speaks a word of caution" with reference to the financial condition, etc. M. W. H. T. Howard having been relieved at his request, on account of health, the

THE FORTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL COMMUNICATION.
The forty-eighth Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons of Montana was held in the Masonic Temple in the City of Butte, cpmmencing at 9: 45 a. m., on Wednesday, September 18, 1912, and was opened in Ample Form by th~ Grand Master, assisted by other Grand Officers and a legal representation from the lodges in the Jurisdiction. The Grand Master spoke, in part, as follows: During th~ Masonic year now closing there has been recorded the account of a terrible disaster at sea; disastrous fires have laid waste and destroyed many homes, and the messenger of death has invaded our ranks and struck from the roll of the living, many of our beloved brethren, yet we have -much for which to return thanks to the Great Architect of the Universe. ,Ve are at peace with all the world; our fraternal relations with sister jurisdictions continue (路n the most friendly terms; within our own jurisdiction there is uni-

versal peace and harmony; we are Masonically and materially pros!lerous; Mother Earth has brought forth her accustomed yield, supplying our wants with every necessity, surx:ounding us with all the lJlessings and luxuries of civilized life. Our Masonic prosperity is marked by activity throughout the jurisdiction; increase of member5hip in Chartered Lodg-es showing an increase in numbers in keeping with the progress and business prosperity of the State. Five dispensations have been granted to form new Lodges. So far as I have visited and from reports received, I am pleased to report an earnest effort to confer the Degrees in an impressive manner, and in accordance with our Masonic Ritual.
He reports the death of Past Grand Master Lewis J. Baker of Iowa, at Kalispell, Montana, and his burial at that place by request of the Grand Master of Iowa, in accordance with the wishes of the family. No other death is reported by him. He reports a few Special Dispensations for minor purposes, waiver of jurisdiction granted, Grand Representatives appointed and the creation of five new lodges. Only two Decisions are reported.
MASONIC HOME.
The assets of the Home aggregate some $117,000, some of which is in land. There are only nine old people there at present and the expense of maintaining the Home, with a full corps of attendants, is over $11,000. This would indicate that the expense of maintenance, per capita, is over $1,200-not counting interest on cost of plant, or depreciation of same. This, however, on its face hardly gives a just conception of the conditions. Time will show a very different result as to cost, etc.
FOREIGN CORRI';SPONDENCE.
This Report" is from the well-guided pen of our good B~other H. S. Hepner, and is worthy of his mind and heart. He covers 206 pages in reviewing the Proceedings of 74 Grand Lodges. Missouri and the Correspondent have kindly notice.

The Proceedings of the Grand Lodge of Nebraska are contained in a neat paper-bound volume of not quite 200 pages, including Report on Correspondence, which covers 57 pages, so that each review is brief, though the Correspondent says he has "reviewed all Proceedings of other Grand Lodges received before sending to printer," etc. Missouri is accorded a page without criticism.
FIFTY-SIXTH ANNUAL CO:i\U1UNICATION.
The Grand Lodge of the Most Ancient and Honorable Fraternity of Free and Accepted Masons of Nebraska met in Annual Communication' in Free Masons Hall, Omaha, on Tuesday, June 3, A. L. 5913, A. D. 1913, at 9: 30 a. m., all the Grand Officers being present, besides Representatives from 253 chartered lodges. From the Annual Address we copy: Brethren of the Grand Lodge: "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." That same God, the God whom we as lVlasons reverence and serve, and whose great and holy name we are taug'ht never to mention but with that reverential awe that is due from a creature to his creator, stIll reigns; omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, and eternal.

Uow beautiful the thought of Light banishing darkness, when considered in its physical aspect alone, but how much more beautiful, grand, and sublime when contemplated in the intellectual, spiritual and divine. And that man only, is worthy of the name, who is not only willing but eager. that "light" in its highest and holiest conception, shall penetrate every nook and corner 'of creation, that the rays of Divine Intelligence may shine with ever increasing brilliance and refulgence, reflecting the perfection, purity, and holiness of Him, who doeth all things well, who is the Author of our being, who holds in the hollow of His hand the destinies of men, nations, and institutions, and who first said, "Det there be light."

The Grand Master continues this exhibition of a reverent spirit, accompanied by high sentiment, for several pages, and throughout the entire Address he manifests an appreciation of that which is highest and best. He announced the death of the Senior Past Grand Master of Nebraska, Daniel Hotchkiss Wheeler, who was third in order of Grand Masters of'that Jurisdiction.
NON-ATTENDANCE AT GRAND LODGE.
He calls attention to the fact that seveFaI lodges have not been represented for different periods, although mileage and per diem is allowed, and also, that the law of the Grand Lodge makes non-attendance for two years a sufficient ground for arrest of charter. His conclusion is that this law, if enforced, would put an end to this evil. He also calls attention to another law of the Grand Lodge of Nebraska and comments on its general observance, which law requires every lodge to insure its building and other properties. This seems to us' a wise provision, and if it were supplemented by the additional law that, failing to observe this requirement, no lodge would be permitted to ask for help in rebuilding, it would be co~足 plete. We cordially approve both enactments as good and recommend that our suggestion as to penalty in the latter case be incorporated iIi the code.
NEW LODGES.
Dispensations were granted for two new lodges. cases petitions were referred to the Grand Lodge.
In three other
SPECIAL DISPENSATIONS.
Many Special Dispensations were granted, none of which seem to contradict the usual order, unless it be that some would criticise the doing away with the time limit in conferring degrees. Personally, we think any and all such Dispensations should only be granted in extreme cases.'

Appendix. DECISIONS.
Six Deeisions are reported, none of which are open to just criticism, unless it be the first, which declares 1:1 man who has lost part of the foot, and is lame in consequence, is ineligible. Such misfortune need in nowise hinder a man from the active pursuits of life and self-maintenance.
FINANCIAL.
Evidently the affairs'of this Gra~d Lodge are in good material condition, judging by the liberal salaries given, in proportion to the membership-and also from the reports of Secretary and Treasurer. According to these we note that the balance and current collections aggregate $64,244.88, while the disbursements were $36,011.80, leaving balance of $28,233.08.
)'IASONIC II03{E.
This institution, created and managed by an "Association", reports its assets at $99,087.01, an increase during the year of $16,· 326.74, which is a good showing. The Home family are reported as 50 in number-25 men, 22 women, two boys and one girl, thus decidedly indicating what we have noted in all cases-that where the Home is open to all the number of old people admitted is largely in excess of the children, which seems to us unfortunate and significant. The cost of maintenance per capita was $241.22, an increase of $34.54.over last year.

FORTY-SIXTH ANNUAL COMMUNICATION.
The forty-sixth Annual Communication of "The Grand Lodge of the Ancient and Honourable Fraternity of Free and Accepted Masons of New Brunswick" was held at Free Masons Hall, in the City of St. John, on Tuesday, the 26th day of August, A: D. 1913, A. L . .5913, and was opened in Ample F'orm for the transaction of business. The Grand Master's Address' opened with a word of greeting, after which he announced the death of several prominent Masons, dwelling tenderly on t路he. virtues of each at length. He stated that he had made many official visitations during the year, finding the Craft in good condition throughout the Grand Jurisdiction. He also stated that the membership had nearly doubled in the past ten years, involving increased labor on the part of the Secretary, and he recommended an increase in his salary. T'his was approved by the Committee and the Grand Lodge voted to increase the amount of $800. Another point of interest he introduces as follows: There is just one other point upon which I should like to dwell, as a result of my visits, and that is the ownership and occupation of Masonic Halls, or rooms. I find,. wherever a Lodge owns and occupies solely for its own use a Masonic Hall, or room,' that there Masonic life is' strongest, and, in some cases, where the Lodge has joint occupation with other bodies, there Masonic life is at low ebb. In some cases it is not possible to collect the money needed in the Masonic district to provide a hall or room. I believe it would be a . wise provision to give the Grand Master the power to appropriate, say, $150.00 for this ,purpose when'to him it seems wise.
This was also endorsed by th~ Grand Lodge, and is somewhat surprising to us. If a subordinate lodge is unable to secure a place of meeting without assistance from the Grand Lodge we see little apology for its existence! Possibly, however, :we do not understand the circumstances. The Proceedings are contained in a small paper-bound volume of some 200 pages, with no Report on Correspondence and no reference thereto. .

ANNUAL COMMUNICATION.
The one hundred and twenty-fifth Annual Co~munication of the M. W. Grand Lodge of the Ancient and Honorable Fraternity of Free and Accepted Masons of the State of New Hampshire was held at Freemason's Hall, in the City of Concord, on Wednesday, May 20, A.

ANNUAL ADDRESS.
Brethren: Another year has passed into history and we are again assembled in annual communication. We meet today in our one hundred and twenty-fifth annual meeting and I greet you one and all in loving fellowship. We come, I trust, to offer our tribute of praise to the Supreme Architect, tb revieV\1 our work during the past year, and to draw our designs upon the trestle-board for another year.

NECROLOGY. Since' our last annual communication the angel of death has invaded our jurisdiction and has stricken fl'om our roll a number of brethren who for many years participated in our deliberations, some at a ripe old age and some in the meridian of life and height of usefulness.
The路 Grand Master concludes his paragraphs on the distinguished dead as follows: They were honored by those who knew them best and were the glory of their generation. They have left a splendid name behind them and their remembrance is sweet as honey in the mouths of friends and brethren. They exhibited the sublime principles of Masonry and the blessed results of their goodness cannot be blotted out. Their bodies were buried in peace, but their work will live on forever. In imagination we linger at their graves and say in the language of Holy Vvrit: "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord; for they rest from their labors and their works do follow them." Thus may we award them路 a large place in our memory and affections and resolve to cultivate the Masonic virtues which made them great and useful. As they fought a good fight, finished their course, and held fast to truth, so may we, taking them for an example.
ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-:FIFTH AN NIVERSARY.
The evening session of the Grand Lodge was held for the purpose of observing the one hundred and twenty-fifth anniversary of its organization, in accordance with the vote of the Grand Lodge, at its Annual Communication held on May 21, 1913. After music and brief addresses from several brethren, M. W. Past Grand Master Charles Horace Wiggin delivered the address of the evening, it being historical in character. From it we extract: It is now nearly 200 years since operative Masonry, or that form of Masonry which included workmen and artisans, the men who toiled, dissimilar from our labor unions of today only in that their Lodg路es were not confined to one specific lot of craftsmen representing a particular trade or occupation, but were varied in their make-up, had gradually drifted from a protective to a social organization. This being the situation, it is of undisputed record that modern Freemasonry had its birth and origin in London, Eng., June 24, 1717, or St. John the Baptist's day, for there and then the four and only remaining lodges of operative Masons existing in London assembled at the Goose and Gridiron Tavern, in Saint Paul's Churchyard, and formed the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of England. Mr. Anthony Sawyer, Gentleman, was eleettld Grand Master;

Further on he states that in 1735 a petition was presented to Henry Price, Grand Master of Boston, Mass., from several brethren who styled themselves "Of the Holy and Exquisite Lodge of St. Johns", requesting authority to hold a lodge "as has been granted to others in all parts of the world". Following this St. John's Lodge was Constituted June 24th, 1736, and was the only lodge in the State for nearly 45 years. In 1789 there were some five lodges working regularly, and these met by delegates at Portsmouth, July 8, 1789, and formed a Grand Lodge. General Sullivan was the first Grand Master and was installed in 1790. .
REPORT ON CORRESPONDENCE.
This is an excellent work, in which are reviewed the Proceedings of 64 Grand Lodges, eight of them for two years. Our good Brother is kind to Missouri, smiting mildly here and there. Of Grand Master Lampert he says: The address of Grand Master Lampert is an elegant one. He professes his inability to write as one might who had had greater educational opportunities, and then proceeds to charm us with his words. It is our kind, and we repeat that it is just elegant.
Quoting us, he says, as to his position on laying corner stones for churches: "Well, we are a little uncertain about that". Strange our good Brother should be uncertain. We had thought our position plain. Read the entire paragraph again, Brother Cheney.

year, evidencing the good sense of the Grand Master in dispensing with mere platitudes. We give brief extract from his introduction: Rejoicing that 'so many of us ha.ve been permitted to foregather again and for the opportunity thus afforded in which to renew, with fraternal greeting, our pledges of friendship and brotherly love, I avail myself of my happy privilege, and extend to you, individually and collectively, a sincere and most hearty welcome. As we thus congregate in this, our One Hundred and Twentyseventh Annual Communication, it is meet that we should reverently acknowledge the goodness and mercy of the great Creator, not only for the numerous blessings which, as individuals, we have been permitted to enjoy, but also for the prosperity which continues to attend our beloved institution. The Craft in this Jurisdiction is to be congratulated upon its growth and prosperous condition, our net gain in membership being substantially 2,000 and our total membership now nearly, if not quite; 40,000. The satisfactory condition of our finances is evidenced by the report of the Grand .Treasul'er, which will be submitted to you in due course.
The Grand Master reports only one Decision, and that of only local interest. He alludes to the common usage of "presenting" a white linen instead of lambskin apron as an irregularity or violation of law and asks action on the subject. He refers to the Masonic Home as being in excellent condition and prospering in every way. REPORT OF GRAND SECRETARY.
The Grand Secretary commends the promptness of the secretaries of subordinate lodges in sending in the Annual Reports, and states that the net gain in membership is the largest in the history of the Grand Lodge. He states that the receipts during the past year from all sources (except Home Maintenance ,Fees and Special Benevolent fi"und) have been $46,369.53, which has been paid to the R. W. Grand Treasurer. ~ From the Home Maintenance Fees the receipts from initiate, affiliate and restoration have been $15,595.00. Received for Special Benevolent Fund during year and paid to the R. W. Grand Treasurer the sum of $5,253.30. MASOXIC HOl\1E.
In the Masonic Horne are 98 old people, with only 25 children12 boys and 13 girls. The average cost of maintenance is stated to be about $319.38 per capita.

Let us enter upon our labor here in the ~rm belief that the benefit which any of us derive from Masonry is in direct proportion to the love we give it and the time and effort we spend in its service. But before taking up our active work, let us pause, with bowed heads and reverent hearts, while we recall the names and memories of our Brethren in this and other Jurisdictions, who have answered that summons from the Great Architect of the Universe, which comes sooner or later to all of us, and which no one, be he Mason or profane, can ever disobey.
The Grand Master granted and refused many Dispensations for different purposes, in all cases regarding Masonic law and usage as understood by him. DECISIO~S.
A number of decisions are reported, all seemingly just and right from the standpoint of our laws and regulations except possibly one to which we, at least, object, but we may be wrong-as we often are! 7. A petitioner was elected to receive the degrees after his election, but before the first degree was conferred, a secret objection was tiled with the Master and Wardens. A short time after the objection was filed, the objectordimitted from the Lodge. Does the withdrawal of the objector's membership carry with it the withdrawal of his objection? Can we permit the objector, who is not now a member of this Lodge, to come into Lodge and withdraw the . objection? Is the petitioner already elected or not, and if not, have we the right to vote again on his application if presented in regular form and at the proper time? An objection after election but before initiation has the same effect as a black ball except that it may be withdrawn. If the objection is withdrawn before the expiration of one year, the candidate can be initiated without reballoting. If not withdrawn within one year, he cannot be initiated without a new petition and election. The withdrawal of membership does not carry with it the withdrawal of the obiection.
We are not clear as to several points herein enunciated, but to the last, at least, we strenuously object. If the objector has any real grounds he should reveal them-if not, he should carry his objectionc; with him, when he leaves the lodge. The Committee on Masonic Home Site was continued. Th~

The Proceedings of the Grand Lodge of New South Wales for the, year 1913 contains much of interest, especially to those resident in foreign or Provincial districts.

Appendix.
The Terr-itory is divided into Metropolitan and 26 Country Districts, under Inspectors, whose Quarterly Reports will be found embodied in these Proceedings. The regular meetings of the Grand Lodge are held at the Masonic Hall, Castlereagh street, Sydney, to which all correspondence should be addressed.
T-he Grand Master, Lord Chelmsford, having announced his early removal, much regret was expressed thereat and a most eloquent tribute was paid in the Grand Lodge by Brother Caruthers, which evidenced the high regard in which he was held by the Fraternity. Many Dispensations for the usual Masonic reasons were granted during the year, and two new lodges were created. No Decisions were announced; in fact, in this, as in most foreign Grand Lodges, the matter of deciding questi0lls of law or usage is usually referred to a committee. and we may add that most of the work is done in committees, and the ordinary Grand Communication, whether Special or Quart8rly, is only a maher of a few hours, during which reports are submitted and approved.

ANNUAL COMMUNICATION.
The one hundred and thirty-third 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 5, A. D. 1914, A. L. 5914, at,2 o'clock, in the presence of a goodly number of visitors, besides the Representatives of a constitutional number of lodges. Tolle Grand Master delivered an address covering some 56 pages, much of which, however, consists of statistics, names and matter of details, which we presume was not read. The paper is businesslike in form, although here and there are paragraphs of lofty sentiment and great interest: Brethren of the Grand Lodge: The ceasless flight of Time has brought us under the protecting care and guidance of Almighty. God to the One Hundred and. Thirtythird Annual Session of the Grand Lodge, to review the work which has engaged our attention, and to adopt such measures as may be advantageous to continue that work in the future. Great activity has characterized all the Lodges, and a delightful degree of harmony is everywhere manifested by all the Brethren. Extensive journeyings have enabled me to visit every portion of the State to meet the Brethren in their own Lodge rooms, and I have been greatly' impressed and stimulated in the prosecution of the work to which I have devoted my time by the spirit of genuine fraternity which prevails in the Craft, and by the encouragement given me by the thousands whom it has been my privilege to take by the hand. I have indeed found that our Craft is animated by the paramount desire of who can best work and best agree. And yet in this sweet song of harmony there is a minor chord of sadness. A startling number whom I met when my journeyings began have crossed the Great Divide: The first thought of the Generai Assembly should be given to the memory of our departed Brethren.
Following is a long list of fraternal dead, and the tributes pai.d to each are thoughtful and tender, occupying nearly 19 pages. Various functions, with personnel and purpose, are recited in detail, and

MASONIC EMrr.OYM:ENT BUREAU.
Of this he says: Three years a.go the Masonic Employment Bureau. under the auspices of the Grand Lodge, was an inspiration. Th;ough careful and painstaking management we now have a bureau worthy of the name, demonstrating that Masonry is eminently 'practical in all of its details. During the fiscal yea:r just ended more than 225 men, women and children were pla.ced in positions, the earning power of which is estimated at $155,000 annually.
This sort of work is worth while. It is infinitely better to give people a chance to help themselves than路 merely to help them with money. The divinest charity is that which enables the needy to dispense with charity! Of Decisions t路he Grand Master announces none, but refers various questions to the Judge Advocate, who reports at length, with the approval of the Grand Master. He refers to the Masonic Home, with enthusiastic approval of its work and management.
ANOTHER BIG THING.
Among other great things the Grand Lodge of New York rejoices in a debt amounting to $7 per capita on the membership of the Grand Jurisdiction, which would, as we figure, amount to approximately $1,260,000. This is due the Masonic Hall and Asylum Fund. The Grand Master set himself to the task of raising this during the year and reports over $200,000 as promised. The debt is a large one, but, then, New York is a wonderful state.
REPORT OF GRAND SECRETARY.
The Grand Secretary repo'tts the number of those "raised", "affiliated" and "restored" at 13,063, and of those. lost to membership as 6,811, leaving a net gain of 6,252.

FINANCES.
The Grand Treasurer reports receipts, with balance from last year, as amounting to $292,872.84, with expenditures and deposits to credit of Sinking Fund at $227,~39.09, leaving balance in treasury of $65.236.75. THE MASONIC HOME AT UTICA,
Applications for admission to the Home during the year were filed with your Trustees by 55 men, 28 women, 20 boys and 20 girls, a total of 123. Of this number, 81 were accep'ted, 19 rejected, 4 died, and 5 withdrew their applications prior to action thereon by your Trustees, and 14 applicants were under investigation at the close of the fiscal period. .-._.j~Jj There were actually admitted to the Home, during the period, 38 men, 19 women, 15 boys and "1.8 girls, a total of 90. While the membership of the Home was being so largely augmented, the net increase was but 16; for, during the year, 38 -men and 7 women went to their long home; 4 men Were dismissed for cause; 5 men and 5 women left of their own accord for homes elsewhere, while 5 boys and, 10 girls, having attained the age limit, withdrew to take up their chosen life tasks. On March 31 your Home sheltered 454 members, with 10 more accepted and notified to go to Utica, leaving unoccupied space for the accommodation of but 4 husbands and wives, 15 single men and 15 children. Thus are we brought face to face with a problem which must be solved in the not-very-distant future. For a considerable period prior to the enlargement of the Home in 1907-1908, when its capacity was increased 66% per cent, or from 300 to 500 members, there was a waiting- list of applicants for admission, and the burden of caring for worthy applicants was frequently borne many months by the Lodges making the nominations; for, only as death claimed the members therein, could others be admitted to the Home. That condition did not apply to orphans, but will soon be equally applicable to both young and old. In the meantime the Craft has increased in membership 35,000, or 23 per cent, and your Trustees are assured that, when the time comes to grapple with the problem, it will be promptly and satisfactorily solved. The charity of the Utica Home is too deeply rooted in the great heart of the Masonic Fraternity to show the slightest sign of decay from any transient drought; and, when the need of enlargement actually arises, the necessary funds will be promptly provided.

THE FARM. In their report of one year ago your Trustees stated that, while a certain measure of success had attended their efforts to make the farm pay, its value, from a true economic viewpoint, had not been clearly demonstrated, and it might yet be found more profitable to use the cultivable portions of the acreage for hay and rough vegetables only. The herd had been enlarged considerably during the yeaT, with a view to providing all the milk, cream and butter required in the Home, but the result was unsatisfactorY,and, in the face of an increa13ing deficit, it was decided during the winter to dispose of the major portion of the stock, to save further loss, until some plan could be devised for conducting the farm at a profit.
Hon. Chauncey M. Depew was introduced by the Grand Master and made some felicitous remarks, from w-hich we quote: CHAUNCEY M. DEPEvV: M. W. Grand Master and Brethren: I don't know whether I路 am a captor or a captive, but from the greeting that I received from R. vv. Frederick C. 'Vagner this morning, as he stopped at my house with his automobile and said that I was wanted, I first thought it was another birthday celebration, because I have been having so many of them on my arriving at the age of eighty that I really don路t know when my birthday was. You know there was a dispu te for several thousand years as to whether St. Patrick was born on the 7th of March or the 10th of March. So they got together and compromised it, and from that time on they have been celebrating his birthday on the 17th of March. But I have been having birthday celebrations every day since the 23rd of April, which was my birthday, and, if they continue to the end of this week, or keep it up much longer, I think my birthday will be some time in December. But it is a great pleasure for me to be present with you this morning, and to witness for the first time in my life the Grand Lodge of the State of New York. I have been a Mason for fifty-three years, and I ought to have been here before. But somehow or other 1 didn't seem to possess those peculiar qualities' of popularity which would elect me to a position which would entitle me to membership. My friend said, "When you look into the faces of the members of the Grand Lodge, you will see the most intelligent-looking body of men that ever assembled together." I'Te 11 , I think he was right, and, interested as I am and have been for a 10ng while .in public matters, I am really in doubt now, so far as the trials of our Government in "Vashington arc concerned, as to whether it shall be Huerta or Villa, could not be better settled if they were submitted to the Grand Lodge of the State of New York. I think the administration at \Vashington might get out of that difficulty by simply summoning our Brother Masons and letting them hold a Masonic convention for that purpose. T was very glad to hear from the Secretary that the Grand Master has succeeded in raising $200,000 to payoff the debt. After hearing the Grand Master's appeal on the item of ten thousand dollars, I can see how he did.it. The spirit of Masonry, as I understand it, has

been and is, consideration for a Brother, but he has none. If I remember his language correctly, he wants to stick that poor man a thousand dollars by having you contribute the other nine. He never expected he could stick him any other way, and he uses this mode to bring him up to the mark, and I hope he will. Everybody asks me how I could be eighty years old and in as healthy a condition as I am to-day, because I feel just as well as I ever did, and just as hopeful for the future as I ever was, but I began to find out fifty-three years ago, when I joined my Lodg'e at Peekskill, and from subsequent experience, that the things that tend to longevity are absence -of worry and peace of mind. They only come from the brotherhood of man and from heaven, and, because in every man there is some good and in most of the'm lots of good.

In come mon with all, or nearly all, of the foreign Grand Lodges, this has no Masonic Home, yet its proviSion for the relief of the poor, through its Board of Benevolences, is most creditable.

their support, in their own, home, as may be necessary, rather than to place them among strangers and thus separate Hiem from the sympathy and personal attention which is so valuable an asset in the lives of these unfortunates. In the body of his somewhat brief Address. tlie Grand Master delivered himself upon a subject of more than ordinary interest, hence we feel justified in a liberal quotation: This leads me to a subject which must be cvcr before us as the ideal of our Craft, and to which 1 made passing reference last year. I refer to the principle that our Lodges should be a common meeting ground for good men of widely divergent ideas and different stations in life. I think we should guard against the danger of our Lodges assuming a local and temporary colouring from passing events or questions which at the time may appear to be of great importance. In ancient days religion was a fruitful cause of dissension amongst the people, leading to misery and pel'secution; th~rp颅 fore religion was wisely removed from the scope of our deliberations. Politics were an equal source of trouble and bloodshed; therefore politics were barred. Men of this generation can scarcely realize what evil was wrought by the extremists in these questions, at the time considered to be the most vital matters, and the misery suffered by all people, however free they endeavored to keep themselvcs. Fortunately the days of persecution and bloodshed for difference of opinion are departed; yet we still have our burning questions, the 路constant discussion of which produces great irritation, opposing man to man and class to class. I refer to such subjects as license or no-license, capital versus labour, and other social subjects which are constantly arising amongst a people of such fertile imagination as the denizens of this country. These subjects are not barred by constitutional practice, as are religion and politics, yet I think we are wise to keep them outside our borders. The Lodge should be the one place where each brother 路may repair, certain that he shall leave behind him all vexed questions, and spend a profitable hour amongst brethren who are agreed upon every subject which is brought forward and whose attitllde is fraternal, an atmosphere quite apart, as it were, from the popular questions of the day,
We endorse these sentiments aR altogether wise and worthy. CORRESPOKDENCJ<:.
This Report is from the strong pen of M. W. Alfred H. Burton, who covers 120 pages with a review of 64 Grand Lodges. He treats Missouri kindly, granting us almost one and a half pages, about one-half of which space is occupied with a quotation from our Introduction last year. In his Introduction, or "Foreword", 路it seems to us that he goes out of his way to criticise-'-or, at least, to reflect on "the so-called higher degrees". Thus he speak~, in part:

It does not become one to affect any, knowledg-e of the secrets of self-styled' "high" degrees; but it is surely safe to challenge contradiction of a well-grounded belief that in such is contained nothing of value-whether in quasi-chivalric, occult, or mystic "degrees"-that may not be acquired from th~ study of Freemasonry as we practice it; and that, in fact, all beyond is but leather and prunella.

The Proceedings of t路he Grand Lodge for the current year came to us in fine form, although the volume is somewhat bulky, having nearly 600 pages. In this eonnection we have often thought and sometimes have remarked that if our Annuals were more condensed they would be far more readable and for the s3JI}e expense a much larger number might be printed and distributed. We publish a good deal that is rarely, if ever, read, except in proof or by the editor.
ANNUAL COMMUNICATION.
The Grand Lodge of Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons of North Carolina convened in Its one hundred and twenty-seventh Annual Communication in the Hall of the Masonic Temple, in the City of Raleigh, on Tuesday evening, January 13, 1914, at 7: 30 o'clock, and was opened in Ample Form, it appearing that a constitutional number of lodges w~re represented, besides which there was a large attendance of Past Grand Officers and visitors. The Address of the Grand Master is one of the briefest on record, containing, or being contained in less than 15 pages, of which nearly five are devoted to the fraternal dead. We quote the opening paragraphs with approval: Once more we ,have come to "meet and greet each other."

With bowed heads and' thankful hearts we have rendered our obeisance to the Supreme Ruler of Heaven and Earth and given expression to our gratitude that we are again permitted to gather here and engage in the important duties that have been entrusted to our care, and to pledge ourselves anew to the loving services of our brethren to the purpose of our Institution-So my brethren I give you greeting.

True we mourn not as those who have no hope, for as Masons, we are taught that the life which now is, is to be followed by a future life-th'at the separation by death is but, a "temporary separation." Yet it were well to pause for a moment and pay a small tribute to our departed brethren, even though the separation is' but temporary.

STATE OF THE CRAFT I think I make no mistake when I say that Masonry in North Carolina was never so prosperous as it has been this year. Peace and harmony have prevailed in every section. It is true that a few little differences have sprung up between lodges and between individuals; but they have been of such minor character and so easily adjusted that they merit no mention here.
NEW LODGES.
Three lodges chartered by the last Grand Lodge were duly Constituted and Dispensations granted for the formation of nine new lodges.
DECISIONS AND DISPENSATIONS.
There was only one Decision reported and it of only local interest. Many Dispensations for the ordinary purposes were granted

and sev:eral Special Grand Communications were held, principally for the purpose of laying corner stones.
ORPHANAGE AND EASTERN STAR HOME.
The Grand Master reports the Orphanage in fine condition and doing a great work, with 319 inmates, and he enlarges upon the newly opened Masonic and Eastern Star Home as full of promise for the future. Five "guests" are reported, with nine applications on file, "all of whom will probably be admitted." GRAND SlcCRETARY'S R)<~PORT.
From this we quote the following: In the year 1895 the receipts from. all sources of the Grand Lodge were $4,779.50: The total receipts for this year, as shown above, are $20,218.50, which is an increase in râ&#x201A;Źceipts of over 400 per cent. In the year 1895 the number of Masons in the State in good standing was 9,842. We now have a membership of 22,879, which shows that we have considerably more than doubled our membership. These statements show splendid growth both in receipts and membership, and should be exceedingly gratifying to every Member of our Order in the State.
REPORTS FROM OFFI<;:ERS OF THE ORPHAN AGE.
From these it would appear that the total receipts from all sources were about $45,000 and the expenditures some $36,000. The State appropriation of $10,000 was doubled by Act of the Legislature. The earnings of the Orphanage are reported as over $27,000the "singing class" having collected over $12,000. The entire receipts are reported at nearly $50,000. They have a farm, shops of different sorts, printing office, etc., 'where the children are trained to make a living. The expense per cvpita is reported at $94.00, which we suppose is the net expense after deducting home products.

prosperity have been abundant; the welfare of .the home, the church and the school has been fostered as never before; and the affairs of our state and of our nation have been conducive' to human happiness-with hearts filled with gratitude for all those blessings let Masons bow before Him who rules our destiny-most humbly bow. And may we not, as we cross the threshold of the new year. fix our desire so that in the last year in the first quarter of a century of Masonic history in this Grand Jurisdiction Masonry will mean more in our commonwealth than it has ever meant before? For if we reflect, we are surely led to the conclusion that accomplishment follows t~e fixation of desire to do. Human desire is the master worker of the world!
A WORTHY SUGGESTION.
Masonry is not a charitable institution, yet Charity-which is Love-is one of the first lessons taught in Masonry. It should be a practical one, and should not be confined simply to the members of the Craft but should include the whole Brotherhood of men. I hope, therefore, our Lodges will feel the Christmas spirit, and, either as individual members or from the Lodge funds, make real the lesson of Charity in its largest sense this year. If there is no one within your membership who needs the helping hand, there are probably those in your community who do. Possibly there is some institution, hospital or home, in your midst that would be glad of your assistance. If not in your community, there are institutions in the state that are doing a great work which depend upon the large-hearted charity of the men and women of our state. Among these aloe the Children's Home, the Florence Crittenton Home and the "Voman's Boarding Home, all located in Fargo but in no sense Fargo institutions. I can personally vouch for the good work done by these homes, and know that funds are needed and will be used wisely if given.
LODGES, INSTITUTED AND CONSTITUTED.
The Grand Master reports the constitution of sever,al lodges. chartered by the last Grand Lodge. and also the institution of one new lodge during the year.

plication for degrees or membership-that it must be unanimous, and that no one can be excused from voting unless by unanimous consent.
GRAND SECRETARY'S REPORT.
The Grand Secretary reported that all lodges had made returns and paid dues except two whose names he gives. He also states that sixty-six lodges show a net gain, thirty a net loss and six have _ neither gained nor lost. He also states that: . The net gain this year in membership, 307, as against 351 In 1912 and 427 in 1911, is, in some ways, disappointing, yet we must not lose sight of the fact that mere numbers .does not mean necessarily strength or greatness. Our real aim should be to make Masons; not simply raise candidates.. Vie believe the Masonic spirit in the Jurisdiction never was higher or healthier. This is shown by the fact that a number of small Lodges, which, for several years have been practically dormant, ha;ve been very much awake this year.
FINANCIAL.
The Reports of Grand Secretary and Treasurer show that the Grand Lodge is in a healthy condition in this respect. The net cash on hand, including balance in treasury and receipts from all sources, was $31,772.96, with expenditures of $8,317.10, leaving net balance of all funds as being $24,267.34.

On the opening page of the Proceedings the somewhat striking face and figure of the Grand Master, Wm. Medford Christie, challenges attention. A synopsis of the Annual Session follows, at least to the extent of giving the Grand Officers, Committees, etc., which is followed by the extended report of the work of several Special Grand Communications, all for the purpose of dedicating new halls.
ANNUAL COMl\1UNICATlON.
The Forty-eighth Annual Communication of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons of Nov.a Scotia was held in the Parish Hall of Christ Church, in the Town of Amherst, beginning 10 o'clock in the forenoon of Wednesday, the 11th day of June, A.

He congratulates the Grand Lodge that harmony prevails and 路that only one member has been expelled during the year. This may-and may not be a matter of congratulation. No doubt the Fraternity in that Grand Jurisdiction are as worthy as any, yet it may be that a number escaped expulsion who richly deserved it, We have known cases-not a few-where a lodge or a Grand Lodge mig'ht well rejoice in being rid of some who disgrace the Fraternity.
DISPI';~SATIONS._
The Grand Master reports fourteen Disp'tmsations permitting lodges to exhibit their regaiia in church-that is, to attend church in regalia; eight to hold meeti~gs at other than the regular times and many others for minor reasons, such as are usually presented.

NOVA SCOTIA FREE MASONS' HOME.
I now approach the subject, which above all others, is dear to the heart of Masons, our "Home" for aged Masons, their wives and the widows of Masons. I trust that some day we may be able to add to -that designation, "the orphan children of Masons." This "Home" has proved all that its most ardent advocates hoped for. Those brethren, who so enthusiastically and forcibly advocated the establishment of the "Home" and are present today to hear the account of its present equipment, mus, glow with satisfaction that the promises of by-gone days have been fully realized, and that now in the Province 'of Nova Scotia, our beloved Order has an establishment thoroughly equipped for the care and comfort of those who are placed under its roof, Where the poor deserving brethren, who, on

After the usual ceremonies the Grand Master delivered the Annual Address, which opens most auspiciously: My Beloved Brethren of the Grand Lodge of Ohio: There is a profound significance in the admonition to Free Masons not to ','enter upon any great or important undertaking without first invoking the aid of Deity." Indeed, it is more than an admonition, for in its very utterance Freemasonry constantly renews its avowal of trust in God, and its grateful confidence in the never-failing love of the Heavenly Father. And in our invocations the mystic tie of our Brotherhood as sons of that Father are strengthened and our united loyalty. as Free Masons is declared. In a very vital sense it is just as true that Freemasonry cannot enter upon any great or important undertaking without first i,nvoking the aid of the Brethren. This is of the very essence of Freemasonry. The solidarity of the Brotherhood is the strong foundation upon which our Ancient Craft is build,ing. Freemasonry is the concrete expression of our belief that, however loyally and capably man may work alone, his loyalty is developed in numbers and his ability i:;. enhanced by Union. So it is that before entering upon any great work it is well to sense again our mutual relationship and interdependence. If there were J10 other reason, this alone would jU'3tify our Annual Communication in Grand Lodge. "Communication," indeed, (or here we see each other face to face, eye speaks to eye in the language of brotherly affection, hands thrill in the touch 0f brotherly sympathy and service, hearts are made warm and genial in the flame of an united consecration. In this communion of harmonious souls, inspired by the Master's Word, differences disappear, contentions cease, and the Mystic Tie of Brotherly Love binds us all together in Masonic Labor.
And the promise of good contained in the introduction is confirmed by the body of the Address, which is wise, logical and worthy. His reference to the distinguished dead is touching and his enumeration of the acts and incidents of his administration is concise and pointed. He refused permission to elect out of time, to change date of Communication, and to confer degrees out of time! Good-very good! NEW

this character was the laying of the corner stone for the Perry Monument in commemoration of the BATTLE OF LAKE ERIE.
This occurred on July 4, 1913, the Grand L'odge being opened in one of the parlors of the steamer City of Buffalo as it was entering the harbor of Put-in-Bay, in the park of which town the monument is being erected. The monument is a magnificent creation: "It consists of three parts, a great Doric column of pink-white granite, forty-five feet in diameter and three hundred and thirty-five feet in height, standing in the center of a plaza which extends from a museum on the one hand to an heroic bronze statue flanked by 'L colonnade, typifying peace by arbitration, upon the other, and from the waters of Lake Erie to those of Put-in-Bay. The whole when completed will appear to rise pure and spotless out of the waters of the lake, as did the fame of this young naval officer, whose achievements brought victory and with it a hundred years of peace to the English-speaking races of the world."
The entire occasion, including addresses, banquet, etc., etc., was worthy of the event it commemorated. FINANCIAL.
The income for the year from all sources is reported at $68,530.08 and the expenses $1,581.49 in excess of income. This is accounted for by the expenditure of $4,000 for flood relief. MASON Ie HOME.
This seems in excellent condition, with 172 inmates, as follows: Men, 70; women, 54; boys, 24; girls, 24; total, 172. From which it is easily seen that the number of old people increases while the number of children is relatively less. This is generally the case. The disbursements for the year wer.e $53,319.33, which would indicate an average cost of maintenance per capita of some $310. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE.

work is good, and Missouri is treated with consideration. Like many of our Correspondents, however, he does not approve our Report on Appeals and Grievances. Hear him: And now we come to the report of the Committee on Appeals and Grievances, and we seem to find here the explanation I for the failure of the Grand Master to emphasize the fact of peace and prosperity prevailing in that Grand Jurisdiction, for we find that' twentyfour pages of the printed Record are necessary to set forth the grievances and the decisions on appeal. There is one thing, however, we are bound' to say in this connection, and that is, that the Committee went into the cases fully, and evidently decided after mature deliberation.
He approves our suggestion as to the Washington Memorial Association, although, as we think, he is a little severe: We have not been able to .enthuse over this project, and cannot resist the feeling that our good Brethren of Virginia are using the name of an illustrious man, and undoubtedly a good citizen and Mason, to further a project which will enable them to have a beautiful horne of their own for all time to corne at the expense of the Masons of other Grand Jurisdictions. We have been waiting for two years for some Brother properly qualified to give us a statement of the purely Masonic services rendered by Bro. Washington wll.ieh entitles him to this unusual distinction, and we are still waiting.

L. f)914, and with the assistance of the Grand Deacons, Worshipful Brothers Arthur J. Weir and Sam W. Hogan purged the Grand Lodge ready for opening, after which the Grand Deacons retired and escorted the M. W. Grand Master into the Hall and to the Grand East, where he was introduced and received with private Grand Honors. Sixteen Past Grand Masters were present, eight from the Indian Territory before the consolidation; six from Oklahoma and two from the State of Oklahoma since the union, of the Grant} Lodges. After some preliminary exercises the Grand Master delivered the Annual Address, "beginning a:t 11 a. m. and closing at 2 p. m.;' as the record reports! The Sec:cetar,y explains that "at times he digressed to explain, etc., * * * the twelve hundred brethren maintained their interest throughout," etc., etc., which, altogether, is unusual, if not remarkable. In OUT largest hall we have never seen 1,200 Masons assembled and we are well satisfied that no Grand Master, "past", present or future, could hold such an assembly, if collected together, for three hours, in this Jurisdiction-especially about lunch time. Some ten or more years ago a lawyer present~d an address-much in the nature of a "brief", to the Grand Com路 mandery, which was only about one and a half hours in length-and we have hardly yet recovered from the experience! The brethren of Oklahoma are evidently more long-suffering, or their Grand Master more magnetic than those of Missouri. The Address, however, as published, is only some thirty-five pages long and is of really high order. We quote: Brethren of the Grand Lodge: Six years have elapsed since the organization of the Most Vvorshipful Grand Lodge of the State of Oklahoma, formed by the amalgamation of the Indian Territory and Oklahoma Territory Jurisdictions, and from the date of this organization to the present has been one of uninterrupted prosperity and it is now composed of 435 constituent lodges from the splendid citizenship of this great State engaged in the industry of discharging duties of brotherly love, relief and truth.. I am pleased to state that we have been blessed with peace and harmony during this continuous reign of prosperity, and while questions of importance affecting our Institution have been agitated and discussed, yet the discussions have been with moderation and they have been settled in a true Masonic spirit. I feel, therefore, that it is eminently proper at the beginning of our deliberations to return thanks to Almighty God who rules and governs all things, not

He reports his visit to Indianapolis to attend the Convention of Grand Masters, and approves the general purpose of this meeting. He reports the constituting of nine lodges which were chartered by the last Grand Lodge. He granted Dispensations to institute nine new lodges and refused several petitions to institute others. He granted many Special Dispensations for the usual Masonic purposes.
PHYSICAL QUALIFICATIOKS.
Touching this matter, he speaks as follows: A number of cases referred to me concern material of the hiKhcst mental and moral character, yet on account of some unfortunate . little physical disability, the petitioner is forever barred from the portals of Masonry, and we thereby prevent splendid men, useful and intelligent, from becoming ardent workers of the Craft and I am of the opinion that in many instances the strong, perfect applicant, from a physical standpoint, is many times inferior to the applicant driven from our doors by some little physical defect and I feel that the Grand Master, in his good¡ judgment and discretion, should be authorized to issue special dispensations in deserv{ng cases for the best interest of the community and Masonry.
All
ot which
we heartily endorse.
DECISIONS.
He reports a number of Decisions, all of which seem locally correct, but we strenuously object to the dogma of Perpetual Jurisdiction, which he promulgates as the law of the Grand Lodge of Oklahoma. In our opinion, it is not good Masonry. He refers to the matter of granting permission for lodges to attend church in uniform on Easter Sunday and differs from. Past Grand Master Lampert, to whom he refers thus: In granting dispensations permitting Brethren to attend Divine Service (Easter Sunday Service), in Masonic dress, I was not unmindful of the adverse decision of my illustrious Brother, Jacob Lampert, Grand Master' of Missouri. Masonry teaches, howeve'r, that the question of all ages has been, "If a man die, shall he live again?" â&#x20AC;˘ and in my opinion, any Divine Service, teaching the resurrection of

He reports this in excellent condition and the reports of other officers sh9w that it had an average of 126 for the year and that' the expense of maintenance is something near $215 per capita, not counting school or farm expenses, which would probably bring it up to $250. From the Grand Secretary's Report we take the following items: Those reporting show 2,100 initiations, 1,907 passings, 1,863 raisings, 880 affiliations, 359 re-instated, 242 deaths, 1,028 demitted, 882 suspended for non-payment of dues, 41 suspended for cause, 21 expelled, and 1,045 honorary members exempt from dues路 and a total membership January 1st, 1914, of 25,382. During the year we- gained by raisings, affiliations and reinstatements 3,002, and lost by dis-. missions, deaths, suspensions and expulsions 2,209, making a net gain for the year of ~93.

interest except to those of that Jurisdiction. The work of this Grand Lodge with regard to reports, legislation, elections, etc., etc., is done in four quarterly Communications which in the last year were held-Mareh 5, 1913; June 4, 1913; September 3, 1913, and December 3, 1913, which "last corresponds in some sort to our regular Annual Communication, as most of the work is done at that time, although a meeting is held December 27, at which the Address of the Passing Grand Master, as also the introductory remarks of the newly-elected Grand Master are given. Both these are thoughtful and. worthy. . The Grand Lodge, in its wealth, income and expenetitures, probably exceeds any other unless it be that of New York. We note that the income from all sources, together with unexpended balance in treasury, is considerably over half a million. The expenses of the Temple are more than $30,000, though the income is not given as a separat.e item. The Grand Lodge holds various Charity Funds, of which extended reports are given, and it is interesting to note that besides the Masonic Home the Grand Lodge, through its Committee, distributed $8,500 to needy Masons or widows and orphans.
THE MASONIC HOME.
This is one of the greatest plants路of its kind in the world and its completion and dedication mark a new era in the history of' this Grand Lodge. The cost of the plant to date is over $1,109,820.72. The expenditures last year were over $52,000 and the estimated cost of maintenance for the present year is $75,000. The cost per capita last year for the ninety inmates was nearly $600-though, of course, this will be lessened somewhat with a larger 'number of "guests", as the family are termed. We trust this lavish expenditure for charity will be satisfactory in its results.
CORRESPONDENCE.
The Correspondent covers 204 pages in a review of the Proceedings of some sixty Grand Lodges and his work is of a high order. He displays no disposition to unkind criticism, though expressing himself with freedom at all times. He does not agree with us as to the right of an illegitimate to receive the degrees, and quotes us on Perpetual Jurisdiction without comment.

S~;COND
ANNUAL COMMU.I\TICATION.
The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the Jurisdiction of the Philippine Islands convened in Annual Communication at the Masonic Temple, Calle San Luis, in the City of Manila, on Tuesday, the 3rd day of February, A. L. 5914, at 3 o'clock p. m., and in the absence of the Grand Master wal:> opened with the regular ceremonies by the Deputy Grand Master, assisted by the other Grand Officers and a full delegation from constituent lodges. After the appointment of committees the Grand Lodge was called from labor and during the interval the Grand Master arrived, and when labor ,...,as resumed he read the Annual Address, which is really a model in its brevity and well ordered paragraphs. While it gives all necessary details there is no unnecessary and wearisome prolixity. We quote: I greet you 'on this occasion with profound gratitude to the Grand Master of the Universe that I am allowed again to meet ""ith you and in recovered health. My late enforced absence from the Philippine Islands, in search of surgical relief in the United States, was the source of great disappointment to me. It had long been one of my fondest hopes that I should be permitted some day to preside over the Grand Lodge of the Philippines. But this dea.rly cherished desire seemed about to be b1asted whp.n the exigencies of my health made it necessary for me to be absent during the last meeting of our Grand Lodge. However, a kinder lot has been reserved for me, and through your esteem and trust my fondly fancied drea:m has come true. Your generous confidence and affection, evidenced by your re-electing me to the chair, on February 4, 1913, are more deeply ['"ppreciated than any poor words of mine can tell.

There are several Decisions, all seemingly in accord with Masonic law and usage. The first recognition accorded this Grand Lodge was by New Hampshire, in May, 1913, since which time the Grand Secretary reports that sixteen other Grand Lodges have accorded recognition, besides which he had unde'rstood that Massachusetts and Missouri had taken similar action, but he had not received official notice uf the fact. The Grand Master closes his Address as follows: In this, the beginning of the Grand Lodge of. the Philippine Islands, we are as children, looking down the eternal years, blinded by the light of the coming ages, knowing not whither the journey may carry us, but strong in the faith of our Order; fired with the zeal that has carried Masonry round the world, buoyant with th., hope that has sustained our pioneer brothers on every soil and In every clime; inspired by an unchanging confidence in the principles of Masonry; made steadfast and unfaltering by the charactar of the men who are attracted by those principles as the needle responds to the pole-sfar; sustained' by a sure reliance upon the leavening quality of that character and its sublime d,estiny to leaven, in the end, the whol.e human mass. We carry with us the joyous certainty of youth and the banner of a glorious cause; our hearts beat with exhaltation and gratitude to the Grand Master of the Universe for having the opportunity of a century-that of bringing to this country a Masonry, regular and non-political. We are sincerely in hope that the year will bring together under our Jurisdiction the regular lodges of the Philippine Islands.
From' the address' of the Grand Orator, Brother C. C. Cohn, we give the following extract, which we are sure will be read with interest by the thoughtful: We may be safely confident that there is nothing of the unnatural nor of strain in the figure of speech by which we are wont to term the reorganization of Philippine government and society a structure. Everyone who. has borne a part, everyone who has lent a hand, everyone who has furnished a stone, or a tree, or bit of the purple or crimson or blue has felt innately the part of the builder. But general as has been this realization, not all of us have paused to recognize that the building in progress is erected to God and dedicated to His holy name. Let him who doubts the intervention I)f Providence in this building enterprise recall the degree to which the American nation was oblivious of the existence of this Archipelago on May 1st, 1898. Then may he turn his mind to the dire ne-eds vf the Filipino peoples, to their abje'~t poverty in those things without which life would be unbearable to us, to the fact that th13 rights or life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, those silver spoons that have been in our mouths since birth, were silver spoons from which they had never tasted; to the infinitely small share that these peoples then had in the benefits of the world's progr'ess in medicine and hygiene, in liberal arts and sciences, in commerce, industry and agriculture. Then when he shall have rE'vi~wed the local needs, and the

eminent qualifications for gratifying and fulfilling the same which the great-hearted American nation coupled with the desire to do so, let him contemplate the slender thread which connected these diverse elements incapable of bringing them into that happy combination which we term America's mission in the Philippine Islands. Slight, indeed, must be his belief in the Supreme Being, if he persists in attributing to blind fate. rather a.an to the decree of the wisdo,n and counsels of Deity the wonderful emancipation of the Philippines resulting from the sinking of an American battleship in the harbor of Havana.
REPORT ON CORRESPONDENCE.
This is from the pen of Brother Bellis, Grand Secretary, whose modesty bespeaks his merit. He thus introduces himself, in part: We have entered upon the task of reviewing these Proceedings with much trepidation and a feeling of awe of the responsibility involved therein. It is something r.ew for us and we hardly knew what plan to adopt, as the majol'ity of the Correspondents have different methods of making their reviews. Your Committee is proud of the honor of having a place at the Round Table and we trust that our brethren Correspondents will be lenient in passing upon our mistakes and faults, if such there be. As time goes by, we hope to become more proficient and worthy of the honor.

This Grand Lodge is one of the most interesting in the entire roster of the world, not merely that it is the smallest, but also that its spirit is optimistic and cheerful. Very naturally there can never be any great increase in its number of lodges, and the membership can never be great because of its limited territory, but in relation to its position and surroundings it is as important to society and the world as any.

The Proceedings, came to us in the form of. a neat little pamphlet of 66 pages, giving details of the Annual meeting, with the usual statistics. The frontispiece is the picture of the Grand Master for the current year, which shows him to be a handsome, "clear-headed" man, very clear-headed; in fact, he has a great advantage over many of us in that he has no trouble dressing his hair in the morn路 ing. The accompanying sketch shows him to be well worthy.of the high position he occupies.
THIRTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL COMMUNICATION.
The Grand Officers, ~ Past Grand Officers and Representatives of the Constituent Lodges of Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons of Prince Edward Island, assembled in the Masonic Temple at Charlottetown, on June 25, 1913, for the purpose of holding the thirtyeighth Annual Communication of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons of Prince Edward Island. There being a sufficient representation of members present, the Grand Lodge was opened in Ample Form, and after the usual details of business the Grand Master read the Annual Address, which is quite brief and contains nothing except of local interest, as a rule. However, it is a worthy document. We quote briefly.: vVe give hearty thanks to the Great Architect and Governor of the Universe, for the measure of peace and harmony which has been enjoyed since last we assembled in annual deliberation. Wars, and rumors of wars have disturbed the Nations but we have listened only to their distant murmerings. Industrial and Commercial stringencies have agitated other Countries, but ",e have not been affected excepted by that broad Masonic sympathy which goes out to the needy or unfortunate wherE'ver situated. Extraordinary development of industries peculiar to our own land have attracted almost world-wide attention. In Masonic circles however, no special exCitement has disturbed us. A slow and steady growth continues. Increase in numbers without Unity is not Success. Financial growth without Harmony is not Prosperity; yet with our slight increase, we can report that Unity. and Harmony, which means Success and Prosperity.
The Address is largely taken up with a list of fraternal dead and accompanying remarks, visitations, Dispensations, etc. He refers to the York Grand Lodge of Mexico and recommends recognition, which was granted by the Grand Lodge.. He also refers to the
106

Grand Lodge newly formed in the P.hilippine Islands and this is noted by the Committee in kindly terms,but no recommendation is made for recognition.
BENEVOLENT :FUND.
This shows an aggregate amount of $3,772.98, with expenditures of $55.00. The Grand Lodge is to be congratulated that they provide for the needy and yet have few calls for assistance. There is no Report on Correspo~dence, as we use that term, but the Committee makes the following deliverance: Your Committee on Foreign Correspondence again comes with the same old story-no review of Sister Jurisdiction Proceedings. In this Jurisdiction Foreign Correspondence has a somewhat different meaning from that applied to it by some others. With us the Grand Secretary's report deals only.with purely domestic matters and statistics, and Foreig路n Correspondence comprises exactly what the words imply-any matters of inter-jurisdictional interest or controversy which may be deemed of sufficient moment to bring before the brethren of this Grand Lodge at its annual sessions. Both reports are written by the same officer but deal with entirely different subject-matter. Reviewing proceedings is quite another matter, and though generally done under the name of Foreign Correspondence is scarcely properly designated by that title .

ferring to the present conditions, the Grand Master, in his Annual Address, August 13, 1913, says: We are now in fraternal relation with forty-seven Grand Lodges of the world, and there are not many more from whom we seek recognition. Naturally we shall hail with much satisfaction and pleasure full Masonic intercourse with the Grand Lodges of England and Scotland, and hope to see that consummated ere long. But we shall not make further overtures in that direction or seek this-our undoubted territorial right-cap in hand. ,Ve have justified ourselves by our actions and by the example of "Masonry universal" which we have set up here. We are content to be judged I)y our achievements in the truest interests of Freemasonry, and by the endeavour to give to our fellows, outside the Craft, some outward and visible sign of our utility as a leaven in the community. ,Ve were the first to make that effort, and our "widows, orphans and aged Masons institution" will speak for us for all time. In its infancy, it has already justified itself-a,nd its future must be still more promising-especially when all the Masons of Queensland once recognize their "territorial rights" and determine upon ending existing divisions, so as to work unitedly for the practical realization of the noble aims and high ideals, which agitate and direct the hearts of all true Masons. Our greatest pride as members of the Sovereign Grand Lodge of Queensland is that all these years we have quietly submitted to indifferences, and worse, from the official representatives here of the Grand Lodges 9f England and Scotland. ,Ve have not been resentful-for we know. that the vast majority of the brethren are in full accord and sympathy with us, and but for offici:tl gags, would have long since torn asunder the shacldes which keep them from us-nor have we retaliated. Our doors have been wide open to all Masons;路 our assistance to distressed brethren has been given irrespective of geographical limitations. Masonry universal has been our motto and our guiding star. Nor have we forgotten the affection and gratitude we all feel towards the Grand Lodges of the Mother Country, for undoubtedly they, above all others, held aloft the banner of Freemasonry as a beacon light to all the world.
The. Proceedings come to us in a small paper-bound booklet, in which we find no reference to Foreign Correspondence, except, perhaps, a statement by the Grand Master of the receipt of a telegram announcing the recognition of the Grand Lodge of Queensland by the Grand Lodge of Ireland. The volume contains the record of something more than a year, as the Grand Master is twice installed. The custom of this, like most Provincial Grand Lodges, is路 to have Quarterly and Special Grand Communications, in which the regular business of the year is transacted. We see little difference in tbis case in the particular functions of each.

The Grand Master, in his Address for the year 1912, announces the creation and dedication of one new lodge, and the ceremonies connected with this are afterward recited in detail. The most interesting incident in connection with this is the recital of the Fifteenth Psalm: "Lord, who shall abJde in thy tabernacle; who shall dwell in thy holy hill? He that hath clean hands," etc., etc. Which seems to us appropriate and beautiful.

It will perhaps be noted that the ter-.. ritory occupied by this, as by' some foreign Grand Lodges, is quite small; so that it is easy and inexpensive to assemble Representatives from all constituent lodges. In the larger Grand Lodges of the Old World the business is transacted mostly by Committees, so that semi-annual, quarterly and special Grand Coni'munications frequently are held with comparatively small attendance, and some Freemasons never see the Grand Lodge at all. Which, probably is as well, since it is invariably. the case that in the largest bodies, whether delegated or popular, the work is done by a very small number of men, the great majority merely looking on and voting. The principal work of the semi-annual meeting seems to have been to hear the report of certain officers and committees, principal in importance of which was the report of Committee on Masonic Home. Altogether, this was the most thorough and exhaustive report we have ever heard or read on any subject or occasion. The whole concludes with a recommendation that the sum of $2,000 be set aside from the treasury of the Grand Lodge, which... is to be increased from year to year by special taxation, etc., until the sum of $50,000 is secured for the purpose of creating and maintaining路a. Home. This was adopted by the Grand Lodge,

ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL COMMUNICATION.
The Grand Lodge of Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons for th~ State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations was opened in Ample Form in ~ree Masons Hall, Providence, Monday, May 19, A. L. 5913, at 10 o'clock a. m., with the Most Worshipful Grand Master,. Brother Wendell Richmond Davis, presiding in the East. There were also present other officers and members of the Grand Lodge and Representatives from 34 lodges. The Address of the Grand Master is an excellent business document with little of mere sentiment; in fact, it is a careful reo cital of all the acts of his administration. We note, after a somewhat extended. report on necrology, that he reports seventeen Dispensations, fifteen of which were for the purpose of attending church "in lodge formation". No Decisions are reported, but the Grand Master refers to t路he appeal for aid for the flood sufferers, and states that in answer to his circular the sum of $1,382.85 was subscribed by the lodges, which, increased by $400 from the Grand Treasury, was forwarded to the Relief Committee in Ohio. The Grand Master closed the Address with a most worthy sentiment: Brethren, the gavel which I shall soon resign first came to me when the angel of death had silently folded the hands of my路 predecessors in their last long and peaceful sleep. This gavel l'epresents not the rule of power so much as that of love, not of dictation, but of respectful submission on the part of Masons to constituted authority. Ch<l.nge, Confusion, Clamor, Discord may reign in the world about us, but in the inner charmed 'circle of Masonry this emblem of authority yet radiates its benign mysterious influence, and ?1(, who wields it must ever strive to n路ach and maintain the high standard its proper use demands. With the first step in Masonry we express our trust in God. After n;neteen years of continuous service in the Fraternity, I de~ s~re to renew this expression of trust, for without Him we are nothing worth.
There is no report on Correspondence and sca.rcely an allusion to the subject.

EIGHTH AKNUAL COMMUNICATION.
The eighth Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge, A. F. and A. 路M., of Saskatchewan, was held at the City of Moose Jaw, commencing Wednesday, the 17th day of June, A. D. 1914, A. L. 5914. After t路he usual ceremonies of opening, the Grand Master present6d his annual Address, which is a purely business paper, with no touch of sentiment and' no allusion to the G. A. T. U. He gives a careful detail of his work during the year and seems to have wrought faithfully in the discharge of his responsibilities. He gives only two official rulings, which are merely technical in character.

Appendix.
I have no doubt that in future Masonry will grow rapidly in the province, and particularly as new lines of railway are built. It has been found that with the advent of the railway in any district the demand for a Masonic lodge soon follows. The unfailing goodness and courtesy received by myself ill all my Official acts and visits will always remain a green spot in my memory. In some cases, at" least, I hope that my visits and pel'sonal attention have straightened out some old difficulties and misunderstandings. I have not conceived that the duty of the Grand Master was to be a lecturer merely on esote:ric work. I think that the Masters of Lodges, and D. D. G. M.'s, should be proficient in the work, and that the Grand Mast'~r might devote himself to better advantage; to matters other than acting as a drill instructor or lecturer on the routine esoteric work. Craft Masonry is the oldest form or" Masonry. Its symbolism is rich in antiquarian lore, and I should 1:ke to see, in all the more impor"tant lodges, in any event, M.asonic topics taken up at meetings from time to time and discussed. Papers could be read from time to time by members of the Order according to their knowledge and competency, and these papers would lead to informal discussions throwing a flood of light on the teachings ar.d history of Masonry. If it were known that, on a certain evening, a brother would be requested or permitted to deal with some phase of Masonry or with some question of its symbolism, other members would have an opportunity to read up in the interval, thereby waking a general discussion in the lodge, one of great interest. REPORT ON CORRESPONDENCE.
This report covers 15~ pages and the work is well done. OUf good Brother Gorrel quotes rarely, but gives the fa;,cts which strike him in his own words. His opinions as thus expressed are sound III the main, as we think, and we see no criticism of an acrimonious character. We are sorry that Missouri does not appear, but we . suppose our Annual was nQt received.

which appear several handsome illustrations. As is their custom and that of most of the Grand Lodges of Europe and Asia, they re-elected Sir A. J. Way, a member of the nobility, to the Grand East. This custom, we may remark, is followed by at least one of our American Grand Lodges! This Grand Body holds a half-yearly and an annual communication. At the former, which was held October 15, 1913, the work done was simply to confirm minutes of previous Communication, to receive report of Board of General Purposes-which board does almost all of the work of the Grand Lodge-to accept portrait of Deputy Grand Master, and to accept amendments to the Constitution, all of which was duly accomplished in form.
SPECIAL GRAND COMMUNICATION.
At the Special Communication held in Freemasons' Hall, Adelaide, the session was brief and purely technical in character, only some ordinary matters of detail being presented (October 29, 1913).
THIRTIETH ANNUAL COMMUNICATION. T~is meeting was held at the same place, April 15, 1914. After some complimentary remarks, M. W. Sir S. J. Way, G. M., was nominated and elected Grand Master, and in accepting he said, in part:
I must begin by expressing my heartfelt. gratitude at the high honor which you have done me in electing me once more, as you have so often done, to be your Grand Master. But the history of Grand Lodge during the last twelve months has shown that no man is indispensable. That is a lesson which we all bave to learn, and I am sure that when I lay down this gavel finally there will be many brethren quite competent to carryon the duties of this high office more efficiently than I have been able to. We had an illustration of that in the manner in which the last Half-yearly Communication was carried out under the presidency of the M. W., the Pro. Grand Master and the Special Communication also, the business of which was transacted in record time. I can assure you, however, that as long as I am spared, and as long as you may desire that I should preside over this Grand Lodge, my best services will be readily placed at the disposal of the brethren. I have been very much encouraged in all that I have done by the loyal support which I have received from Grand Lodge officers, and from all the members of the Grand Lodge. It is to me a matter of pride, as I suppose it

would be to anyone, 'that I am senior in service of the Grand Masters of the world. But that is not due to any merit of my own. It is, rather, due to the indulgence, the affection and the support' which I have received from members of Grand Lodge. (Applause.) But I do not want to' go on forever. \Vhen the time arrives that you think I should lay down this 5avel I shall gracefully retire and give such sUPIlort as may be in my power to do to my successor. (Applause.) And now, turning to the progress of the Craft in this State: Last year was the thirtieth year of United Freemasonry in South A ustralia, and, happily, it was also the most successful. I remember that before we celebrated our silver jubilee I was exceedingly anxious that we should have 4,000 subscribing members. At the jubilee my ambition was not quite gratified, as our members were slightl~ under the 4,000. But I am glad to be able to place 'on record tonignt that we now have 5,266 subscribing members of the Masonic Order in this State. That is an increase of 362 for the year" and must be most gratifying to all who have the welfare of Freemasonry at heart. We hav~ only once had a larger increase in a single year, but I think the record established last year was one of which we have every reason to be proud, for we have to remember that we are not a propagandist body. \Ve do not canvass; we seek to attract membership by the work we are doing, and the principles which we' uphold. (Applause.) During the year nine new ledges were Cons,,crated, making our total 77 now owing allegiance to this Grand Lodge. \Ve owe a t~ibute to the Pro.. Grand Master, the Deputy Grand Master, and the other officers of Grand Lodge who were called upon to take part in those Consecration ceremonies. Remember, alsG, that six new Masonic Temples were either completed or in course of erection during the past twelve months. Last Saturday week I had the privilege of laying the foundation stone of a new Masonic Temple at Prospect under most encouraging circumstances.
The death of Lady Way, wife of the Grand Master, is appropriately noted in the Proceedings. Evidently this brave little Grand Lodge is in good condition and prospering in every way.
REPORT ON CORRESPONDENCE.
This report is written by different members of the Committee of Fourteen, of which committee the Grand Secretary is a member. The report covers 106 pages, and Misso~ri is recognized in kindly terms and the Correspondent is complimented. We regret not to have included South Australia in our report last year, but the reason is that we did not receive the Proceedings of that Grand Lodge.

The picture of the Grand Master is excellent, and the detailed report of the two Emergent Grand Lodges for the purpose of funeral service and laying corner stone, add to the interest of the Proceedings.
ANNUAL COMMUNICATION.
The one hundred and thirty-seventh Annual Communication of the Most Worshipful Grand .Lodge of Ancient Free Masons of South Carolina convened in the Masonic Temple, in the City of Charleston, S. C., at 11 o'clock on Tuesday, the 9th day of December, A. L. 5913, and was opened with usual ceremonies. Two hundred and fortytwo out of the 251 lodges were represented.
THE ANNUAL ADDRESS.
The Address of the Grand Master is brief and deals altogether with business and practical que,stions, with little hint of sen¡ timent or tending to exhortation. He rejoices in the prompt reo sponse to the appeal for the flood sufferers, reports with approval the Washington Memorial Association meeting, also the Convention of Grand Masters, at Indianapolis. Among the many Dispensations granted during the year we â&#x20AC;˘ note several to confer degrees on as many as five and not less than ten at one and the same time, which indicates an enthusiasm among the Craft which is unusual and perhaps very creditable. But we seriously fear that this feverish haste on the part of candidates and

lodges is not ominous of good and not to be envied. Were we in the exalted position of Grand Master we would hesitate, and, after hesitation, would doubtless refuse to endorse this wholesale manufacture of Masons and would also decline (generally) to allow degrees to be, conferred out of time or two or three on the same person at the same time, even if a minister-of the highest order! In fact, we do not endorse the idea of favoring (?) the ministry in any such way. We have throughout most, if not all ,of our jurisdic- , tions, many ministers whose Masonry has been a donation in part or whole, who, as a rule, are worth nothing to the order. That is, they neither attend, pay dues or exert themselves for the order, and we say this with all possible respect for the guild, in which we hold unworthy membership.
NEW LODGES.
Dispensations were granted for the creation of five new lodges during the year, which is another indication of prosperity.
RULINGS AND DECISIONS.
We see little to object to in these and doubtless all are fully in accord with Masonic law and usage as interpreted by most Grand Lodges. The fact that the Grand Lodge endorses the dogma of perpetual jurisdiction we regret, especially as it cannot be enforced, since so many Grand Lodges repudiate it as unfair and altogether un-Masonic.
MASONIC HOME.
The following resolution was adopted: Whereas, It has been practically agreed tha.t a Masonic Home shall be erected as soon as the fund now in the hands of the Masonic Home Trustees has reached $100,000, and as it is apparent that said fund will have reached that amount by the meeting Jf the Grand Lodg'e next year; therefore, be it Resolved, That the Masonic H('me Trustees be authorized, if in their jUdgment they deem it advisable, to advertise the fact that a site is wanted for the erection of said Home, and report with recommendations at the meeting of the Grand Lodge next year.

ANNUAL COMMUNICATION.
The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of South Dakota met at Aberdeen, Tuesday, June 14, 1914, at 10 a. m., all the Grand Officers being present, besides a number of Past Grand Officers and visitors and the Representatives of ] 03 lodges. The opening prayer by the Grand Chaplain was as follows:
o E;tcrnal God, mighty in 'power, and of majesty incomprehensible, whom the heavens cannot contain, much less the walls of temples made with hands, and yet hast graciously promised Thy especial presence whenever two or three shall assemble 1n Thy Name; o Lord, our God, be present with us here at this time; prosper aU our undertakings; prepare us to serve Thee with reverence and holy fear; that so coming before Thee with pure hearts, o.ur work may be completed upon strong foundations, to our profit and the Glory of Thy Most Holy Name. Amen. The Grand 路Master of North Dakota being present, was invited to the Grand East and presented "vith the gavel. He made felicitous remarks. Sir Frederick Trean, Grand Commander of Knights Templar of South Dakota, and Sir John W. Carroll, Grand Commander of Knights Templar of North Dakota, were welcomed by the Grand Master ap.d made appropriate remarks.
ADDRJ<:SS OF WELCOME.
Worthy Brother Geo. F.

We give an extract from the introduction: Again another mile stone in the history of this Grand Body has been reached, and I have the great pleasure (and I sincerely appreciate the honor) of welcoming you to this, the Fortieth Annual Communication of this Grand Lodge. Th,!. past year has brought its ever-recurring duties and perplexitios, its trials and sorrows, and it has also brought its compensations and pleasures.

Our Fraternity exists for the purpose of teaching those deep lessons, so often brought before us in the three virtues, Faith, Hope and Charity. We extol these virtues, but consider Charity the greatest, because it is active. One may be filled with Faith and Hope, yet be idle; but one cannot Love without serving. What we all need is the active virtue of Charity. Masonry that attempts to live within the four walls of its Temple and finds its only expression in its ritual and symbols, has missed the very essence of its,life. Masonry is the great institution fo!' blessing and uplifting mankind. The gospel of democracy is taught more clearly in our Leloved Order than in any other organization in the world. It is the gospel that places its valu~ upon human life and says "vVe are going to meet upon the level and give you a fair chance in life to work and become successful." And whenever we have been in touch with a human life, be it in a social, political, or personal relation, let us leave it better than we found it. Our work in Masonry is to unite all religions and tongues into one great brotherhood.
NEW LODGES:
Dispensations were granted for the formation of tl!ree new lodges, and many Dispensations for minor purposes, such as are common in Masonry. DECISIONS.
The Grand Master refused a Dispensation to a lodge to hold a meeting "in the open", that is, out-of-doors. Evidently the lodge wished a special occasion and had made some preparations therefor. The Grand Master gives no special reason for refusing, but simply urges his opinion "that within the walls of the lodge room is the only place to hold such communications". We would not criticise the conclusion of the Grand Master nor of the Committee, which we suppose approved, as no mention is made oT the matter, but we respectfully recall the fact that our ancient brethren met on high -hills and in low vales, and certainly there are times, at least in this Jurisdiction, when it is a necessity to open a lodge or Grand Lodge outside of the regular place of meeting. If there were particular reasons in this c::ase against it we think they should have been stated. The general denial cannot stand approved. Other Decisions are of merely local interest. Touching the question of Charity and a Masonic Home, the Grand Master speaks tilus:

GRAND CHARITY FUND.
There are twenty-three jurisdictions in the United States that maintain a Masonic Home, and the average per capita tax of twenty of thes~ jurisdictions, for their support, is sixty-six and a half cents; in addition to this, three of these jurisdictions derive a fee of five dollars from each initiation. I earnestly recommend that our Grand Lodge increase our per capita at least 10 per cent. There are many within our borders that need assistance. It is not my plan to recommend- a Masonic Home (at least at present) but to create such a fund that the revenue derived tberefrom will amply care for our needy. I sincerely hope that this matter will have earnest consideration during this session.
He concludes his Address with the invocation: May the Supreme Architect guide, protect and prosper our Fraternity in all its efforts to uplift mankind during the years to come.
The Grand Charity Fund referred to by the Grand Master now in hand amounts to $8,878.44. The Committee proposed and decided. to establish a Grand Charity Fund and a Widows and Orphans' Fund as well, both to be kept distinct and separate from each other. REPORT ON CORRESPONDENCE.
Our good Brother S. A. Brown presents a report covering 208 pages, in which -he worthily reviews the Proceedings- of some 67 Grand Lodges, according three and a half pages to Missouri, for the most part in approval. However, he smites us gently, as follows: The -Grand Master refused to grant a Dispensation permitting a lodga to attend divine service in a body on Easter Sunday, on the ground that it was not a Masonic occasion. It is a mystery to us how a religious meeting can be disclassed as a Masonic occasion when Masonry requires a profession of religion from every candidate before he can take one single step. It is as if a chapter should renounce the lodge, or a commandery both lodge and chapter. We fear some of oilr brethren are allowing some vague theory to govern them in important ~atters.
We appreciate the sympathy of our Brother as expressed in his fear for our "l1tuddled" conviction and "vague theory", but assure him that there has been as yet no suggestion of a commission "de lunatico inquirendo" as to our Grand Lodge or its Grand Masters. He refers to an item in our Report on Correspondence last year, quoting it at length: "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 con have been presented except the very general one that the Sabbath is not a Masonic occasion, but it seems to us that it is neither 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 t' church gives such invitation the motive or wisdom of pastor or othe~ authorities is to be suspected. It is to be criticised if not condemned, except in cllse of funerals." . We 'would fraternally call our good brother's attention to the fact that in this part of the world there are more Masons who are sincere than there are who are hypocritical in their worship of the G. A. of The U. It is not a matt~r, of display here. It is an honest desire to do good. Masons are as a rule not good at evangelistic work. They have become accustomed to looking out for their brothers only, but when they, by publicly going in a body to the place of worship, may influence the young and ignorant by showing their colors, they do so willingly and sincerely. It hurts when our worthy actions are attributed to unworthy motives.
We meekly bow to the reproof of our Worthy Brother, only reo marking that when we are older we may become wise enough to accept his differentiations, and we are sincerely glad to be assured of the high character and intelligence of the Fraternity in South Dakota.

The Proceedings of the Grand Lodge of Tasmania for 1914 are contained in a neat paper-bound volume of only 54 pages, which, however, contain not only the essential facts of the work for the year, but also two or three orations and a report on Foreign Correspondence. We are much in favor of condensation and believe the great majority of Grand Lodges are taxed most unnecessarily in publishing huge volumes in which the matters most desirable to know are buried so deeply "among the rough rubbish of the temple" tbat they are difficult to find.

at Hobart, Tasmania, February 17, 1914, with a large attendance of Grand and Past Grand Officers路 and visitors, besides the Representatives of lodges. As in most foreign Grand Lodges the work of this Grand Lodge is done by committees, so that the principal and almost the only business of the Annual Communication is to receive reports, elect and install officers and indulge in oratory. The number of Masons is nowhere given or alluded to, as is generally the case in all foreign reports, although general prosperity is reported. The ,number of lodges is thirty-one, although four of these are reported as "not working". The financial condition seems to be good. There is no Masonic Home and nothing of the sort is suggested, and we see nothing with reference to Charity. The Report on Foreign Correspondence is brief and only reviews the work of sixteen Grand Lodges. Missouri is not one of th~m. The Grand Lodge, though quite small, seems to be doing excellent work. The death of Grand Master Davies during the year was recognized appropriately and the Grand Jurisdiction "went into mourning" for three months.

We convene today for our celebration in Knoxville only because the formative convention, a hundred years ago, was held here in Knoxville, the first capital of Tennessee; was called to meet here (1) by ~~ Convention held here in Dâ&#x201A;Ź;cember, 1811', under the lead and call of Hiram Lodge No. 7 of Franklin, Tenn., to take steps preparatory to organizing our. Grand Lodge, and (2) by a summons from the "Most 'Worshipful Robert 'Villiams, Esq., General, etc., Grand Master of the GI'and Lodge of Nortli Carolina and Tennessee," to the lodges in this State to assemble here and constitute a Grand Lodge of Tennessee to keep and preserve the Ancient Landmarks of Freemasonry. That summons was answered by eight lodges, four in "East" and four in "West" Tennessee-viz: Tennesl;ee No.2, Greeneville No.3, Newport No. 4 and Overton No.5, in the East; and King Solomon No.6, Hiram NJ. 7, Cumberland No.8 a"nd Western Star NO.9 in the West. The representatives of these lodges numbered twelve persons. Hear their names: Living here in Knoxville were Brothers Geo. Wilson, Tho<;;. McCorry, Jno. Bright, Jno. Anthony and 'Vm.

Lafayette," which met May 4, 1825, wh.en "our illustrious Brother Gen. Lafayette," so reads the record, "was unanimously elected an honorary member of this Grand Lodge!" He was thereafter escorted by a grand procession, formed fOI" the occasion and composed of three chapters-Cumberland. Franklin and Clarksville, and two lodges, Cumberland and Nashville, from the Nashville Inn to the Masonic Hall, where, says the record, "our illustrious Brother Gen. Lafayette was introduced by Brothers Andrew Jackson and Geo. W. Campbell, received with Grand Honors, and seated on the right of the Mo::;t Worshipful Grand Master." Others than Grand Masters who belonged to the Grand Lod5~ of Tennessee in the first half-century of its life, and shed luster upon our annals, were Brothers Sam Houston, Governor of Tennessee and of Texas, and hero of San 路Jacinto; Felix Grundy, Congressman Advocate, Senator and Attorney-General of the United States; John Overton, Judge and intimate of "Old Hickory"; John Rhea, Geo. W. Churchwell, John Blair, Congressman of East Tennessee; Aaron V. Brown, Governor and Postmaster-General; Ephraim H. Foster, Orator and Senator; John Bell, Congressman and Senator, second only to Jackson in fame and influence; Emerson Ethridge, Congressman;' John C. Brown, General and Goyernor; Wm. B. Reese, Judge wf Supreme Court; Bishop Otey, Robert 1. Chester, Jackson's Marshal of the Western District, and the Grand Secretaries,Moses Stephens, 1826-40; John S. Dashiell, 1841-51, and Chas. A. Fuller, 1841-67. In private membership of the lodges "Yill be found also the names )f James K. Polk and Andrew Johnson, Presidents of the United States, and of Senators and Representatives, Judges and Chancellors; doctors and lawyers and teachers and soldiers-a list of distinguished names of Tennesseans of the last century whom time fails us to call, and whose biographies concur to make the annals of the Volunteer State in the generation just preceding the Civil 'iiVar, the grandest in all of its history!
Referring to the Morgan episode, be says: '... The storm that swept over the entire country during the third and fourth decades of the last century proved a veritable Masonic sirocco, closing all the Masonic Lodges in some of the East3rn States, and leaving in others alarming gaps in the list of private members and in the Grand Lodge roster.' In East Tennessee the simoon was particularly deadly, affecting eleven lodges. including those formerly prosperous at Greeneville, Rogersville and Knoxville, ana when the Grand Lodge adjourned in 1838 only two lodges in East Tennessee were left upon the Grand Lodge roster-Meridian Sun No. 50, itt

Athens, and Tellico No. 80, at Madisonville, and they for years had sent n0 delegates and made no returns. Only ten lodges from the entire State were represented· at the Grand Lodge meeting in that year, which erased eleven East 'Tennessee lodges and twelve lodges situated west of the mountain, from the Grand Lodge roll!
ANNUAL COMMUNICATION.
In compliance with the provisions of the Constitution, the one hundredth Annual Communication of the M. W. Grand Lodge of the State of Tennessee was begun and held in Free Masons Hall, Nashville, Tennessee, beginning on Wednesday, January 28, 1914, at 10 a. m. The opening exercises were as usual, the Grand Secretary reporting 446 of the 452 lodges as being represented, besides which were the Grand and many Past Grand Officers and visitors.
THE ANNUAL ADDRESS.
The Grand Master followed the usual order in his Address, which is altogether a most worthy document and greatly tempts our scissors. _ He recites many "Rulings", and in addition thereto, a number .of opinions or answers to questions. He freely expresses himself in • many cases as to physical qualifications, without naming these as Decisions, however. He reports having made fifty-five visits to individual lodges, besides a number visited by duly appointed representatives. One new lodge was created' and petitions for three others rejected. The conclusion of the Address is .a splendid piece of exalted sentiment. MASONIC HOMES.
In addition to the Widows and Orphans' Home,· now more than 20 years in successful operation, the zeal of our Tennessee brethren moved them last year to lay the foundation for a Home for Aged Masons, which is now on the way to success. The total receipts for the Home for the year were $25;021.71 and the disbursements $24,652.99. We do not find the number of occupants, and, in fact. the report seems incomplete.

ANNUAL ADDRESS.
Brethren of the Grand Lodge: Notwithstanding "the many blessings that have been showered upon us, your assembling in this our seventy-eighth Grand Annual Communication is clouded by a ~ense of bereavement. During the year the mallet of death has fallen heavily upon the official family of the Grand Lodge. For the first time in many years, if not, indeed, far the first time in~ the history of this Grand Body, three among the most worthy and distinguished of its members who formerly guided its destinies and wielded the "emblem of authority" over its deliberations, have since last we formed the endless chain around this Altar to engage in chanting the glad refrain of "Sweet Bye and Bye", answered the last roll call and. passed over the River of Death. This causes us to realize, with the author, that "Death never takes one alone, but two or more! Whenever he enters in at a door, Under roof of gold or roof of thatch, He always leaves it upon the latch, And comes again ere the year is o'er, Never one of a household only." Not", ithstanding this apparently stern and inexorable dispensation of the Divine will, to it, as Masons, we "humbly bow, abiding in the eternal hope that it will in" some mysterious way redound to â&#x20AC;˘ our welfare and happiness. And we trust that the state of infinite joy and even ecstasy to which our worthy brothers have attained, and which we are hopeful to believe is in store for us, will, by reason of the contrast to the bitter pangs preceding it, appear the more complete and perfect thereby. The poet Longfellow has well said: "The rays of happiness, like those of light, are colol'1ess when unbroken."
CORRECTING AN ERROR.
The Grand Master reports having received a printed communication emanating from R. W. Brother Sir Edward Letchworth, GranJ Secretary of the United Grand Lodge of England, seeking to correct an erroneous impression that had gained credence in some portions of the United States and Canada, as to the manner in. which the degrees in Masonry were conferred upon His Royal Highness the Duke of Connaught, Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of England, and His Royal Highness Prince Arthur of Connaught. The facts concerning the initiation, passing and raising of those distinguished Royal personages, and which it is said can be verified by reference to numerous records, both public and Masonic, are according to R. W. Brother Letchworth, as follows:
1914.]
Appendix.
127
R. H. R. the Duke of Connaught was initiated in the Prince of \Vales Lodge on the 24th of March, 1874; passed on the 23rd of Junto, 1874, and raised on the 27th of April, 1875. On each occasion the full ceremony was performed without the slightest abbreviation from the established custom. H. R. H. Prince Arthur of Connaught was initiated by the Pro Grand Master, Brother Lord Ampthill, in the Royal Alpha Lodge, on the 25t 11 of May, 1911; passed in the same Lodge by the Worshipful Master, R. W. Brother Lord Kensington, on the 2nd of July, 1911-, and raised in the Household Brigade Lodge by the Worshipful Mastef' on the 29th of April, 1912. In each case the ceremony was exactly the same as for every other candidate for Freemasonry.
No doubt this statement will be a grief to some of our Brothers of the American Grand Lodges, who insist so earnestly on the prerogative of the Grand Master to Inake a Mason "at sight". To have the support of the Grand Lodge of England would have been a comfort, indeed, but, alas!-The Grand Master refers with approval to the Washington Memorial Association and quotes (in part) from a letter received from the President, Thos.â&#x20AC;˘ J. Shryock: Thi::l is not a movement to erect a building for the benefit of the Alexandria- vVashington Lodge, but, on the contrary, if these reliq.s were to be put up and sold at auction they would bring enough money to erect a building there worthy of any lodg-e in the UnIted States.' By way of example, there is one picture in this collection for which the lodge has been offered $100,000.00, which they refused to accept. Since this first meeting some thirty-five or forty of the Grand Lodges have joined the movement and have sent' their Grand Masters, or representatives, to the annual meetings in Alexandria, Va,. on February 21st and 22nd.
LODGES CONSTITUTED.
Fourteen lodges chartered by the last Grand Lodge were duly constituted and the Grand Master issued Dispensations for the creation of four lodges, also refusing a number of petitions. Many Dispensations were granted for public installations, laying corner stones (some 40 of this latter), as also for various ot'her purposes. PHYSICAL QUALIFICATIONS.
Cases of physical deficiencies, or deformities, were presented to the Grand Master and passed on by him, covering several pages. In fact, the number is amazing, even for a great state like Texas. Such a list of varying physical malformations or deficiencies we
128
Appendix.
[Sept.-Oct.
have never seen and scarcely even imagined. l~early half of these were rejected, i. e., the Grand Master refused permission to confer the degrees upon them. All right in Texas-but we honestly believe that the general law being understood, the qualifications of a candidate should be determined by the lodge itself. In many of these cases we would unhesitatingly have voted for their admission. To shut out a man because of the loss of "one eye" or the loss of "one joint of the little finger of the right hap.d" seems to us to strain be. yond all bounds the general law and spirit of Masonry and to constitute a rank injustice.
DECISI~NS.
The Grand Master recites some forty-three Decisions, none of which seem to suggest comment. All are doubtless in accord with the laws and usages of Free Masonry, as interpreted by the Grand Lodge of Texas. The Grand Master states that he has written "nearly 5,000 letters"-almost, or quite, fourteen for each day, including Sundays, and concludes with this suggestion: In conclusion, permit me to snggest that the burdens and responsibilities devolving upon the Grand Master are increasing with each year, and they now involve a question, the solution of which calls for our best thought and consideration. Under present conditions, he is not only required to employ a secretary, but must in addition thereto give almost his entire time to a consideration of the duties of the office. The time is fast approaching when the man who is too poor to surrender the affairs of life for an entire' year must, of necessity, decline the honor. Such a discrimination is, in the highest degree, contrary to the very essence of Masonic teaching. If adequate compensation should be allowed the Grand Master for his year's work, it would be equally objectionable, as it should be exclusively a position of honor, and not of emolument. If, by some suitable adjustment, the duties could be segregated and distributed in nearly equal proportion to the Grand Master, Deputy Grand Master and Grand Wardens, the hoped for results might be obtained. This, however, is not offered as a recommendation, but simply as a suggestion, with the hope that the best thought of the Grand Lodge may be enlisted in an eff.ort for the proper solution of the problem.
TIlE MASONIC HOME.
The Orphan's Home and the Home for路 Widows both seem in excellent con..dition. In the latter there are thirty-two, and four deaths are reported. In the Orphan's Home there are 92 boys and

92 girls-184 in all. The cost of maintenance is put at $40,538.91, which would indicate an average cost per capita of 'about $200.

ture of the first session, but we regret the unnecessary profanity which was a most remembered feature. The Grand Master thus introduces the
ANNUAL ADDRESS.
Brethren: Another twelve-month has passed, and we have assembled to write itl'; histOI'y, and to plan for the future. Masonry is ancient, and clings tenaciously to the landmarks that have guided its way in the years gone by, but its mind is not in the past. The eternal and imperishable principles upon which the institution is founded it holds fast to, because it has found them good, but its heart is ever fired by the hope and aspiration of youth, and its gaze is fixed upon the future. And yet, since "'Tis greatly wise to talk with our past hours . .And ask them what report they bore to heaven," we malH~ a pause in our onward jc.urney, to take stock of what we have done in the year just ended, that we may profit by the go01 therein disclosed, and avoid repeating its mistakes. Our Constitution makes it the duty of the Grand Master, in his annual address, to give "an account of his official acts during recess, the state and condition of Masonry in the Jurisdiction, and 'recommend to tht; Grand Lodge such measures as he' may deem necessary or expedient." In pursuance of that requirement, I now have the honor t;> submit the record of my stewardship.
The Grand Master makes the usual reference to the dead and also presents a letter received from the Grand Master of Costa Rica: reciting the calling and communication of that Grand Lodge in Special Session, and the "tempest in a teapot" 'created by the unauthorized rumor that the United States proposed to declare a Protectorate over the countries of South America. We are surprised that any Grand Master or Grand Lodge would base such serious action on a mere rumor.

SUNDAY COMMUNICATIONS.
To our surprise we are informed that the Grand Master convened the Grand Lodge and laid a corner stone on Sunday, and, furthermore, that every corner stone laid by the Grand Lodge of Utah since its organization was on Sunday! We know of no other Grand Lodge which thus violates the law of the Sabbath by convening for "work". REPORT ON CORRESPONDENCE.
This quotes extensively from the Address of Grand Master Lampert, touching whom the writer says: The almost unanimous vote by which Brother Jacob Lampert was Pllt in line for the position of Grand Master is a fine example of Masonic condemnation of underhanded assault upon the character of any upright man; an anonymous letter having been circulated "against any Jew". His year of service demonstrated that they made no mistake in their choice.
The Report is brief, but well written.

Like most Provincial Grand Lodges, this holds four Quarterly Communications and the business of the year seems to be fairly distributed among them, and neither one seems specially distinguished, or of more importance than the other.

The Grand Treasurer said that the balances at date were: To credit of General fund, £6,065 4s 10d; to credit of Benevolent I1'und, £30,870 9d; total, £36,935 5s 7d. The Grand Secretary reported that the year 1912 was an exceptional one. There was an unprecedented increase in membership, the first exarriination for the King Edward VII. Memorial Scholarship was held, and generally there was a large increase in the work of Grand Lodge. ' It will be remembered, of course, that the territory of this Grand Lodge is comparatively small, consequently it can assemble with small ~xpense, and the business, thus divided among four Communications, can be transacted easily in a day. In the large territory occupied by most of the American Grand Lodges Quarterly Communications would be difficult and expensive. While this lodge is not strong numerically, it evidently has the true spirit of Masonry as evidenced by its donations to the a,ged and indigent. These a.re most creditable in character and amount. There is no Report on Correspondence and no reference to the matter at all.

THE ANNUAL ADDRI·;SS .
The Granod Master, without formal preliminaries, announces his purpose merely to relate the events and official acts of the year and the avowed purpose he carries out with little hint of sentiment or suggestion. His Decisions were few and local in application.. He laid four corner stones with Masonic ceremonies during the year. He Constituted nine lodges and installed the officers. He granted various "permissions" and made many "visitations". NEW I,ODGES.
He granted Dispensations for the formation of six new lodges. He closes thusly: Teach our brethren of this Grand Fraternity to practice in their every-day life those principles which we have been. taught in th~ lodge; to work diligently for the upbuilding' of mankind; to live

creditably in their every-day life, and act honorably by all men, and by so doing help to uplift mankind. While we fight the battles of business life, cultivate that seed. which you have sown in the fertile soil of Masonry and you will be entitled to the W AGl'~S OF LIFE.
The corn of nourishment, not only that which is supplied to our bodies, but also that seed which, planted in the minds of other. men, shall bring forth a harvest for geod to all mankind; the wine of refreshment, that gives new life to the less fortunate brother and cheers him on his way; the oil of joy, that smooths the pathway and extends that hand of fellowship and links those pearls with bands of gold unbroken; thus may we truly say "we have earned the wages of life." FINANCES AND CHARITY.
The financial condition of the Grand Lodge is eminently satisfactory and the expenditures for charity have been wise and liberal. The Masonic Home is yet in its infancy, some temporary build-' ings being now occupied, while a sllbstantial structure costing some $20,000 is being erected. Only nine old brothers are now in the Home and the cost of maintenance, if given, would be misleading. . Among the many wise regulations of the Home we heartily commend this: 14. No resident, member or employe of the HOllie will be permitted to find fault with or criticise the action of the 'Superintendent or Matron. If such person has cause for complaint, the same should be made in writing to the President of the Board of Trustees. This rule, however, is not intended to pIohibit the members from making' complair.t, if the affairs of the Home are not properly managed. The Superintendent and employes are expected carefully to consider the age and condition of the members of the Home, to the end that they may be made comfortable and happy. REPORT ON CORRESPONDF:NCF:.
This, from the pen of our excellent Brother McAllaster, is good, covering 100 pages. He deals kindly with Missouri, but, like many others of the Guild, he deprecates the report on Appeals and Grievances, of which he says: We waded through twenty-four pages of report of the Committee on Appeals and Grievances. We have debated many times whether any good is accomplished by publication of such details. We feel now that they do more harm than good. .

The Proceedings of the Grand Lodge of Western Australia came to our table in a neat paper-bound volume of 250 pages and the contents, which are of interest throughout, are happily introduced by an excellent and even striking picture of t~e late R. W. Brother Richard Pether, P. S. G. W., who passed away September 7, 1912, as noted on page 19 of the Proceedings. QUARTERLY COMMUNICATIONS.
In accordance with the autonomy of this Grand Lodge, Quarterly Communications were held July 25, 1912; October 24, 1912, and January 23, 1913. The first and second were presided over by the Grand Master in person and the third by the Deputy Grand Master, R. W. Brother J. S. Battye. In the first the Grand Master reported general prosperity, a number of visitations, as also various Dispensations. Among these we note ..one supported by the law of t~e Grand Lodge for conferring the degrees on it minor. Such a law, or precedent, is, we think, unknown to American Masonry. Also three to wear regalia at· funerals. We object to neither of these, but only refer to them as unknown among us. In the funeral service with us we recognize that the lodge is at labor, and, of course, we wear regalia. In the other case, we would· doubtless'recognize it as dangerous and contrary to !he genius or our Order.

the preservation of peace. The very existence of our body is in order that we may live in harmony one with the other, and I have always thought that in the future, if not today, the Masonic body might be one of the most powerful factors for peace over the whole of the earth. Now, we cannot see Europe plunged in war without asking ourselves what we have done as brethren, and what we hav~ done as a Craft, to try and keep peace among the nations. It Is not our business to enter into political life; it is not our businpss to enquire which State is right and which is wrong; it is but our business to lament the fact that war has broken out, and that, alas! now it is a religious war. I mean that it seems to be a war between theCrescelit and the Cross. Here are we, one of the most powerful, allembracing bodies in the world, and it does seem to me that we might do something to cement together the people of the world far more than we have done hitherto. I am convinced that if all tht> Grand Lodges of the world make up their minds that they would work for the peace of humanity very much might be done.

ANNUAL GHAND COMMUNICATION, APRIL
*
*
24, 1913.
The Grand Master, in his address, gave due acknowledgment for the honor received in being elected for the tenth time, and, among other worthy remarks, gave the following valuable data: Our Grand Lodge was formed in 1900 with a membership I)f 2,000 in 33 lodges. Today there are 94 lodges on the 1'011-87 of which are working-with a membership of 3,949, being an increase of 188 for the year. The lodges showing the greatest increase of members are Swan, with 15, followed by Duke of Albany, Murray and Kellerberrin lodges, with 12 each. The decreases this year are .comparatively unimportant, and the fact that practically 70 per cent of the lodges show an increase (even though the increases in most cases are small) is sure evidence that the Craft is making steady progress. The total number of initiations this year has been 306, the largest number since the year 1907. Two new lodges have been added during the year, but these are not included in the statistics which are made up to the 31st of December.
FINANCE AND BENEVOLENCE.
The financial report of tp.e Grand Lodge is exceedingly good and the benevolent contributions for the year most creditable. Of course, it is generally known that, like most foreign Grand Lodges, they have no Masonic Home, but they have a well-ordered system of charity by which all the worthy widows and orphans are cared for, as well as aged and indigent brethren. And there is much to be said in favor of this mode of caring for the needy of the Fraternity.

CORRESPONDENCE.
The Report on Correspondence is well written and worthy, reviewing 60 Grand Lodges of the "English-speaking world", in the space of 119 pages. Of course, each review is concise and brief. Missouri has almost two pages. The reviewer evidently does- not consider the wisdom of the Missouri Correspondent as above suspicion. And here and now we rise to explain-that in our remarks as to conferring the degrees on a minor we intended no criticism on that Grand Lodge. Certainly, if their law allows it, we do not object, and it is certainly all right-for them. As to the re-election of Grand Master from year to year, we have no possible objection to that procedure, with them, and only said that it is contrary to our "Republican Institutions". We regard no man in relation to his wealth or honors; we believe in rotation in office, and that, if there is a good thing in sight, it should be passed' around.

Ample Form, with prayer by the Grand Chaplain. The Grand Master makes no reference to the G. A. O. U. in his opening remarks, though he atones, in some sort, for this omission in the close. He thus makes h!.s bow: My Brethren: vVeare again at the Ides of November. The melancholy days have come-the days which, if the poet speaks truly, are "the saddest of the year." My official family sympathizts with the poetic thought; because, "as' the pleasant hum of frost" admonishes us of approaching winteJ', with its dreary fields and forests, so these autumnal days warn us of the speedy termination of our official relation with this grand body. V\Te av.ait only the coming of our successors, to transmit to them the cares and responsibilities of administration; and to return to our accustomed places among the unofficial brethren. But before bidding you adieu and them welcome as our s'uccessors. we must perform that duty which custom demands-a custom observed by our predecessors during a period so long extended as to imply an immemorial usage, whereby we must account how and to what purpose we have discharged the trust committed to us during the year now at the eve of its termination.
Nothing of an unusual character appears either in the Address or in the remainder of the Proceedings. The Grand Mas..ter reports several "Decisions", all, we suppose, in accordance with the laws and. rulings of his Grand Lodge, but differing in some measure from what would be decided with us. For instance, he decides that a man one of whose legs is two inches shorter than the other, is ineligibJe-which does not appeal to us as good Masonry. Also, he refers to the three years jurisdiction, claimed by their Grand Lodge, which, of course, we repudiate. In closing his Address he speaks strongly on a subject most important, yet often ignored: Before closing this report, it seems to me proper, though the may think otherwise, to invite attention to a. habit on the part of a few brethren to indulge in profanity, perhaps hy way of adding spice and emphasis to, their conversation, as they suphypersel~sitive

pose. The practice, though usually excused as a habit. is in direct disregard of the teachings of Maf3onry. . As a prerequisite to the first and each subsequent stage in his effort tc obtain the several degrees of Masonry. each of us declared his belief in the existence of a Supreme Being. Upon the Book vf Constitutions he took upon himself the vows of the Order. Through each ceremony, in due form, he assented to the recognition of the same Controlling Authority-an Authority whom, by profanity, he discredits. Likewise, he thus disobeys the divine command, Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain! and the decision of this Grand Body that profanity is a Masonic offense. Besides, such practice is generally abhorred by gentlemen, and is seldom employed in their presence. I f banned there, it should meet disapproval everywhere. One, whose conduct is refined when in the presence of a lady, should feel the same wholesome res'traint when in the presence of a gentleman. It is, therefore, the duty 'of every loyal Mason ever to remembor the imperative initiatory injunction, never to mention the Holy Name, except with that reverential awe due from a creature to his Creator.

The Correspondent indicates his independence in his opening paragraph: -Nobody is responsible for what I think or write-not even my own Grand Lodge.

I wish, therefore, to emphasize the fact that I, alone,. am responsible for all that may appear in what I am about to write.
His "preface" covers two or three pages and his "Conclusion" some four or five, between which he gives a very worthy review of 62 Grand Lodges. Missouri does not appear. Speaking of Masonic Homes, he says: Masonic Homes, created by Grand Lodges that, were not financially able' to launch such institutions, are causing their owners much anxiety and worry. The necessary expense of maintaining such establishments were not properly considered, or quite a number of them would never have been entered upon. Many years ago I did my utmost to impress my brethren of the unwisdom of launching such institutions; that they were unduly expensive; that needy brethren could be cared for at far less cost per capita than in Masonic Homes; that homes (individual homes) for Masonic orphans could be found at comparatively a nominal expense, where the:1 could grow up and appreciate the privileges of home-life, without being massed together in a so-called Children's Home and thus be deprived of the privileges and education of what a real home, under God, was intended to be. But, somehow, all I wrote and urged went for naught, and now we hfLve on our hands a number of half-supported Masonic Homes that were not needed, a.nd. the brethren are being overtaxed to keep them going. No Gra.nd Lodge, in my judgment, should start an Individual Masonic Home unle~s it has the funds on hand to endow it from the start.

The seventieth Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Wisconsin was opened in Ample Form in the Scottish Rite Cathedral, corner of Van' Buren and Oneida streets, in the City of Milwaukee, at the hour of 2 o'clock p. m., on Tuesday, June 9, 1914, A. L. 5914, with the Grand Officers and many Past Grand Officers and visitors, besides the Representatives of a legal number of chartered lodges. After usual preliminaries the Grand Master presented his Address, which he introduces as follows: â&#x20AC;˘ ADDRESS OF THE GRAND MASTER.
Brethren of the Grand Lodge of Wisconsin: In r. far eastern country, whose civilization differs from ours as the night from day, there lies a sacred city, towards whose famous temple millions of the faithful daily turn their faces in prayer, while millions more have for centuries made their pligrimages to its holy shrine, in the benighted belief that salvation was vouchsafed to those whose eyes should behold the birthplace of their prophet and their religion. Masonry also has its Meccas, its shrines and temples, hallowed by the memories and influences of thousands of years of association. In a sense, but in a far different sense, this city and temple is the Mecca towards which the' eyes of the Masons of Wisconsin are turned each year in the beautiful month of June, and to which we, as the representatives of the Craft of this jurisdiction, make our annual pilgrimage. Our shrines are in the faithful hearts of our brethren. Our temples are their meeting places, dedicated to the service of God and humanity. Our creed is a s;mple faith in the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man. Inspired by such a creed, and by traditions extending centuries before the Islam 01 even the Christian era, is it strange that our institution should be permeated with that spirit of supreme confidence, determination and loyalty which comes from a realization of the importance of its mission among men, and faith in its ability to fulfill that mission?

. Three score and tep years ago, the ,fathers of Masonry in Wisassembled in the City of Madison and organized this Grand Lodge. 'I.'here were but seven' of lhose famous pioneers, barely enough to fill the offices, but what they lacked in numbers they made up in courage and enthusiasm. They represented three small lodges with a total 13, Melody No.2 with thirty-nine and Milwaukee No.3 with 27. This constituted all there was of organized Masonry in this great jurisdiction which today embraces nearly three hundred lodges with a membership of over thirty thousand. The Masons who organized this Grand Lodge were obliged to meet in the Senate Chamber of the old State House, because Masonry had no or.ganization in Madison. Today we meet in this magnificent Cathadral, equipped with the finest organ in 'Wisconsin, and with every convenience and accessory which our highly developed modern life can asl{ for. Let us glance for a moment at the growth of Masonry by decades. In 1S14 there were three lc;-dges with a membership of 79; in 1854, 50 lodges with 1,110 members; in 1864, 134 lodges with 4,'942 members; in 1874, 177 lodges with 9,760 members; in 1884, 201 lodges with 12,392 members; in 1894, 229 lodges with 15,505 members; in 1904, 253 lodges with 20,571 members, and in 1914, 273 lodges with 29,242 members. ~onsin

The real reason for the marvelous success and vitality of Freemasonry is the fact that it has pursued the even tenor of its way, refusing to turn to the right or left, out of the beaten path our fathers trod. And today, in the presence of this distinguished gathering, representing the fiower of Wisconsin Masonry, I know I voice. the ~niversal sentiment when I declare that there must be no innovations in the body of Masonry.
We give the above lengthy selection because of its historic interest and would be glad to· quote further because of the beauty and solidity of the sentiment contained .but for the limitations on our space. DlSPENSA.TIONS.
Various Dispensations were granted ·during the year for dedications, corner stones, etc., besides five for the formation of new lodges. "This is an unusual proceeding."
•
The Grand Master calls attention to the Reiort on Foreign Cor· respondence, as follows: The report of the Committee on Foreign Correspondence will be presented to you, and I bespeak for it the careful consideration which this valuable review deserves. It should be read in its entirety by every representative present, who desires to keep in touch with the trend of Masonic legislation' the world over. The Grand' Master emphasizes this statement particularly for the benefit of

representatives who may be in attendance for the "first time,¡ and who may not realize the importance and value of this report.
The follo'wing will be read with interest: In this connection, I beg to submit a summary of the information secured by the Grand Master of Massachusetts in the replies to his letters of inquiry addressed to the Grand Master of each jurisdiction in the United States. Replies were received from fortythree jurisdictions, none being received from Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, New Hampshire or Rhode Island. Twenty-three of the jurisdictions maintained a Masonic Home, while twenty do not. In the twenty-three maintaining a Home, there is at present a per capita tax running from 25 cents to $1.iiO. In addition, several' jurisdictions require a contribution to the Home of $5 from each initiatiun fee. In reply to the question, "Do you approve the idea of an annual conference of Grand Masters at Alexandria, Va., ,on February 22nd?" nineteen Grand Masters, representing' 589,968 affiliates, answered "Yes," while sixteen Grand Masters, representing 484,989 affliates, answered "No." Eight Grand Masters, representing 353,186 affliates, expressed no opinion. In reply to the question, "Do you intend to be present at the conference of Grand Masters in St. Louis in May of this year?" twenty Grand Masters answered in the affirmative, while twenty-three answered in the negative.
The Decisions of the Grand Master were few and unimportant. Among them he decides that stammering is not a legal barrier to Masonry, provided the candidate can repeat the obligations. We note from one Decision that this Grand Lodge holds to the five-year limit pr~scribed at Philadelphia some years since. That does not "go" in Missouri. REPORT ON CORRESPONDENCE.
This is from the able pen of M. W. Brother Aldro Jenks, covering 172 pages in reviewing the Proceedings of 67 Grand Lodges. He accords liberal space to Missouri, but smites us "in the following manner": The Grand Lodge of Missouri still continues to offend in the way of publishing in detail the charges, evidence and conclusions reacheu by the Committee on Appeals and Grievances. Were a member of a subordinate lodge to give out for pUblication the details of the evidence and findings published in these proceedings, he would be subject to discipline. 'We are surprised that the Grand Lodge or Missouri continues to tolerate this practice.

The thirty-ninth Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of Wyoming, A. F. & A. M., was held in Evanston, Wyoming, Sel-' tember 3 and 4, 1913. Most of the Grand Officers and a quorum ')f Representatives present. The Grand Lodge was opened in Ample Form, with prayer by the Grand Chaplain. ANNUAL ADDRESS.
The Grand Master introduced his Annual Report. with a touch of sentiment, which fact we commend, as also the thought presented. We greatly fear that the age is more and more neglecting realm of higher thought路 and feeling in the desire to be "practical"that is, to exemplify the Baconiap. philosophy in the largest possible measure. Thus he speaks: To the Officers and Members of the Grand Lodge of Wyoming: Our friend, and brother, the illustrious Robert Burns, sain: "Man's inhumanity to man makes countless thousands mourn." When we stop to meditate upon life's problems and consider the things that make it worth the living, the thought naturally comes to us, how much more deJightful a place this world would be to live in if a realization of brotherhood and our obligations one to another were more deeply impressed upon the minds of all mankind, and if all man's efforts could be exerted for the" mutual benefit of each other instead of exhausting their energies in protecting themselves from encroachments upon their rights, liberties and happiness. Masonry has for its purpose the encouragement of this mutual helpfulness, nevertheless being compelled to recognize the necessity of uniting to resist injustice, oppression and wrong, until" that glorious tim.e shall come when man will no longer war, one with anoth~r.

He speaks tenderly of the fraternal dead, comforting those who yet'remain with the thought that by the exercise of that faith in God and hope in immortality which Masonry teaches we may expect to meet them in that glorious land where the wicked cease trom troubling and the weary soul finds rest. DECISIONS AND DISPENSATIONS.
Several Decisions were announced, of no special interest, as all were clearly covered by Masonic law or usage. Among the Dispensations we notice one permitting a lodge to take part as a lodge in the service on Decoration Day. This seems to us unusual, if not outside of Masonic custom. We see no more prop"iety in a lodge observing Memorial, or Decoration Day, than Thanksgiving. GRAND SI~CR]<;TARY'S REPORT.
The Grand Secretary reported that all returns were in by the prescribed date, the entire cash from all sources amounting to $5,720.25. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE.
This report covers 102 pages, is well written and inferesting. Missouri is criticised mildly for granting waiver of jurisdiction to candidates near state line' to go to another state, but we see no good reason offered against this ruling of ours. Also, he thinks the Missouri Correspondent misapprehended or misquoted one of their Decisions, and defends the said Decision strenuously. Which id all right, with us.

ADMINISTRATION FIRE-PROOF BUILDING.
The contract for this building was iet last spring and is now almost completed, which will give ample room for the offices and tne children for years to come, and where they will be protected from the hazard of fire. . IM.PROVEMENTS TO BE MADE.
All stairways, floors and partitions in the building adjoining the Administration Building on the north are to be taken out and replaced by concrete and iron, and when completed you will have safeguarded the lives of those given us to rear, and made the paths of the aged Brother and Sister smooth and pleasant until they are called to their eternal rest. ORDER OF THE EASTERN STAR.
In the past this beautiful Order of Christian women has done much to lessen the burdens of the Directors by the wise counsel of those composing the Advisory Board, and also in a most substantial way, in furnishing the Hospital Building, and now a request is made that they be permitted to furnish the Administration Building~ which proposition was accepted by the Board with the thanks of each member. MAIN TENANCE.
The question of maintenance for Hie future is one for the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge to consider. . The hospital is filling up faster than was expected, and all members there require constant care and nursing, both day and night. This attention, which we must give, places an extra expens'e on us and to meet the outlay we are called upon to make; the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge

[Sept.-OGt.
should, at this session, take such steps as are necessary to arrange an increase of the per capita tax. Last year we had a daily average of 36 patients in the hospital. For the present 路year the average has been 49, "an increase of 27.7 per cent, and these are aIr patients who will remain until called to their home above. We are prepared for and successfully cared for an epidemic of children's diseases which visited the Home in the past year, and if it were not for this hospital proper care could not have been given to those afflicted. The comparison of maintenance costs with other Homes shows our Home in a most favorable position, many being much greater in the cost per person to maintain, although none have so fully equipped a hospital to care for the afflicted as we have. ENDOW2\IENT FUND.
This fund shows an increase of $1,110.00 in the past year, and it is the fond hope of the Board of Directprs ~hat this may be greatly increased in the next few years. The revenue of this fund produced $6,955.91 for the maintenance of the Home. In conclusion we ask that each Brother. read these reports and give careful consideration to the work done by all the officers who have faithfully performed the duties assigned to them without hope of reward except it be from the hearts of the brethren. Well done, Good and Faithful. Yours fraternally, SOL. E. WAGGONER, President.

Public Accountant, proceeded to the safety vaults of the Mississippi Valley Trust Company in St. Louis, where the securities of the fund are kept. We took from the vault the various papers contained in it and examined .them. We found twenty-five loans ranging from $1,000.00, the lowest, to $12,950, the highest. These loans are all indorsed by notes secured by first deeds of trust on approved real estate, the title of which in every instance was by accompanying abstracts and certificate shown to be in the borrower. All the deeds of trust are with the papers except two, which have been filed in the Recorder's office for record, and as yet have not been lifted. These loans aggregate the principal of $132,425.00. On some of them partial paym~nts have been made, aggregating the sum of $9,050.00. rfhe accrued interest has been paid. The total sum of the principal of these loans is $123,375.00. In addition to the loans the account of funds with the Third National Bank of St. Louis shows a balance in its favor on that day of $3,973.59. These figures show the total amount of the Endowment Fund in the sum of $127,348.59. The investment of the fund has been made in a way to be highly commended. The Fraternity and the Home are to be congratulated on the splendid condition in which we found the funds. Fraternally submitted, DAVID M. WILSON, Chairman of Committee.

With Brothers Waggoner, Saunders, Trustees, and Bro. D. M. Wilson, Chairman of the Finance Committee, I have examined the securities of the. Endowment Fund at the vaults of the 路Mississippi Valley Trust Co., and found them on hand as noted in Bro. Wells' list. I have verified, the cash balance at the Third National Bank.

REPORT oOF EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. September 4, 1914. Sol E. Waggoner, President of the Board of Directors of the Masonic Home of Missou1"i: My DI<;AR BROTHER: As you have been present at all of the regu-
lar meetings of the Executive Committee during the year and as the actions of the Committee have been approved at each quarterly meeting of the General Board, it seems unnecessary to make other than a general report. As you are aware, the Committee has made earnest endeavor to make a dollar go as far as possible. This is as it should be and is especially necessary at the present time when the number of members of our family are increasing and the extraordinary expense arising from the increase of hospital patients (the most expensive part of our institution) causes our expenditures to exceed our normal income at present. The income of the Home is not sufficient to adequately support the same, and your Committee has been confronted with one of two propositions, viz, to decline to admit eligible applicants or face a probable deficit in the near future. It is 'our belief that the li"reemasons of Missouri wish us to admit and properly care for all who are 'eligible under our Charter and will provide adequate means for that purpose if the same are wisely administered. Your Committee have labored to the best of their ability to reduce expenses at every point consistent with the proper care and comfort of our aged and afflicted and the nourishment and education of our boys and girls anod trust that a careful examination of our actions on the part of the brethren throughout the State will justify an approval of the same. Fraternally yours, CAMPBELL WELLS, Ohairman Executive Oommittee.

HOUSE COMMITTEE REPORT Sol. E. Waggoner, President Masonic Home of Missouri:
DEAR SIR AND BROTHER: How swiftly the sands run. It hardly seems possible that another year has passed since our last annual report. During the year the House Committee held many regular and called meetings and were individually in touch with the affairs of the Home between meetings. The able management of our Superintendent and the motherly care of Mrs. Baker, Matron of the Children, and the good and efficient work of Mrs. Lee, Matron of the Old People, have lightened the work of the House Committee and we feel under obligations to them, the governesses, nurses and all other employes for the help路 which they have given the management in our effort to ~make our beloved Home a home in deed as well as in name. Our reward is in the results obtained and we feel amply rewarded. We sincerely wish that every Mason in Missouri could have the privilege of seeing the happy results of their contributions to this grand work that we see. Mrs. Lillie L. Fletcher, a member of our Committee, has been ill for some months. We have missed her at our meetings. Her connection with our Committee has been a great help to us and a blessing to the Home. We trust that she may soon be with us again. In conclusion we desire to report t.hat t.he spirit existing in the Home .is better than could be reasonably expected where so large a family dwell, and we thank God for it. Fraternally yours, V. O. SAUNDERS, Ohairman.
REPORT OF ADVISORY COMMITTEE. To the President and Board of Directors of the Masonic Home:
BRI<;THREN:' Another year has become to us a matter of history. To the Order it has been a year of unbounded prosperity, its membership has greatly increased, likewise its influence as well as its financial standing. This is the time when your Advisory Board have the one opportunity afforded each year to present to you their report of the deeds which they have done.

[Sept.-Oct.
We gathered together again with a sense of something new accomplished, of a new golden mark in advance, in the laying of the cornerstone of the new Administration Building; let us congratulate ourselves as fortunate recipients of this priceless gift. The renovation and decoration of the interior of the Chapel were one of our first considerations, which is a source of pleasure to our Home family, where on Sunday afternoon from September 1st till June 1st, services are held by the different bodies of Masons and the Chapters of the Eastern Star. So far this year we have spent $2,055.49 on the Hospital, and things needed in the Home. The generosity of the Grand Chapter, O. E. S., and the Subordinate Chapters throughout the State, in response to the Circular Letter sent out by the Worthy Grand Matron, ,vere responded to most lovingly, knowing that the wants will be many in furnishing the new building. More than ten thousand dollars will be req~ired for this purpose, and it is the hope of the Advisory Board that the Grand Chapter and the Subordinate Chapters of the Eastern Star will have no obstacle in meeting this obligation. Life should hold three things for us all. Work, Love and Play, and these three can be found in our Masonic Home, under the guidance of our loved Superintendent and Matron, Brother and Sister Baker, who are training our boys and girls for good, noble citizens; it is a Home in every sense of the word, where those who are nearing the close of life's long journey, weary. and fainting, can find rest and comfort free from care. Brother and Sister Baker have won the love and esteem of all, who are under their care and protection. May God's blessing rest on this Home, and on the Brothers who have made it possible. Fraternally submitted, MATTIE P: BARNEY, LOUISA J. MOORE, LILLIE L. FLETCHER.

tion at this institution for the year ended August 31, 1914. All adults admitted here come possessed of various troubles, resulting in most part from the infirmities of age, and which require a gr~at deal of care and nursing. With the additional building, the facilities for taking care of children and our aged and infirm brethren and sisters are being augmented every year. And, of 'course, while the路 number of inmates multiply the expense of upkeep increases. Hospital supplies of every description have advanced very materially during the year. Diphtheria became prevalent among the children and additional nurses and other help had to be secured. Fortunately no deaths occurred.

Clothing, shoes, tobacco, bed linen, table linen, preparation of food (including kitchen help), etc., are not figured, as these are included with Home expense. With 600 cases treated at a cost of $15,102.90, including everything except as noted above, we have a cost of $25.17 per case treated. This will increase as the cost of drugs and other necessary supplies has advanced to double or more in price. A comparison of hospital cost of the present year with that of last year, as printed in the Annual Report, is not convenient, because only cases treated by our Home Physicians were reported last year. Thus the eye, ear, nose, throat and dental cases were not included, but if these had. been included the total number of cases last year would have exceeded 575, as compared with the statement above, for 1913-14, which includes all cases, and is 600. We estimate the average number of patients confined daily last year at 36. Therefore the average number of daily patients in the

REPORT OF ATTORNEYS. St. Louis, Mo., Sept. 1, 1914. Sol E. Waggoner, Esq., President Masonic Home of Missouri.
DEAR SIR AND BROTHER: In pursuance of your request we submit the following report as attorneys for the Masonic Home for the year ending September 1st, 1914: (lst) According to the by-laws o~ the Masonic Home any adult· becoming a member of the Home shall turn over to the Home all property owned by them at the time of their admission to the Home or which may therea'fter be acquired· by such member of the Home. Upon the death of Mrs. Cornelia C. Jones, an 'inmate of the Home, on March 13th, 1913, it was learned that she had on deposit in the First National Bank of Carrollton, Missouri, $676.00. Under instructions from the Board of Directors, we, in connection with Jamison, Hutchinson & Ostergard of Kansas City, instituted a suit against the First National Bank of Carrollton, Missouri, for the recovery of this money. Depositions were taken and the case tried in the Circuit Court of Carroll County, Missouri, Oll or about April 22nd, 1914, in which there was a judgment in favor of the Home and the amount collected, less expenses of _depositions, etc. (2nd) In October, 1913, the Board was advised that Mrs. Jennie Hayden, a member of the Home, had collected about $600.00 in insurance. The Board referred the matter to us to take such steps as-may be deemed necessary in the premises to protect the interests of the Home. After some negotiations with the party holding the fund, said party instituted an interpleader suit in the Circuit Court of the City of St. Louis, making Mrs. Jennie Hayden, Maude G. Hayden and the J\:Iasonic Home of Missouri defendants therein. There was some question as to the facts in the case and after negotiations a compromise was had by which the Masonic Home accepted $296.30

in full settlement of its claim to this fund, and the interpleader suit was disposed of. (3rd) We are pleased to inform you that there are no suits now pending in which the Masonic Home of Missouri is either plaintiff or defendant. (4th) 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. (5th) 'We herewith submit-to you a brief form of a will for use of any party executing a will who may desire to remember the Home therein. It is as follows: Know all men by these presents, that T, , of sound and disposing mind, do make, publish and declare this as and for my last will and testament, hereby revoking any and all wills and testaments by me heretofore made. First. It is my will and desire, and I hereby direct, that all my just debts, including the expenses of my last illness and funeral,' be . paid in full. Second. I give and bequeath unto the IVlasonic Home of :i\1issouri, a corporation qrganized and existing- under and in pursuance of the laws of the State of Missouri, the sum of . ($ ) Dollars. (Testator may al~o insert such other provisions in his will as he sees fit.) In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal on this the day of , 19 .. ............... (Seal) Signed,

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT, The spirit of the Home is that which makes for the condition-of happiness of the old members, and this is very largely within their own control. Its governing board prescribes rules for the welfare of all and the benefit of all, and these rules have been wisely selected solely. with that view. Upon t路he execution of the regulations depends tnueh, and if this is done in the same spirit whiFh should guide the membership,' harmony and peace will prevail and content and happines's result. It affords me the greatest pleasure to state that in this respect the Missouri Home IS a standard and is so recognized by visitors who come, and who are always welcome, to make inspection and learn for themselves how the vast and growing interests of the Fraternity in the Home are路 being cared for and looked after. A system of management is in successful operation and its details are heartily co-operated in by old and young.. "Bear and Forbear" continues to be the watchword between the old members and there have been few instances when Christian brotherly and sisterly conduct has been disturbed. In short, therefore, the at, mosphere of the Home is what it should be. . The children have made excellent records in their schools and have faithfully performed their tasks both of study and of necessary home ""ork, and per consequence have enjoyed the sympathy, love and interests of Masons all over the State. They are tenacious of the good opinion of the Fraternity, and I cheerfully and proudly subscribe to their worthiness to receive all bestowals of these sentiments. The epidemic of diphtheria which visited the Home early in the year, January, was borne with courage and patience by all. Everybody was affected in one way or another by the quarantine which became necessary and continued 'for more than ten weeks, and the deprivations were accepted without complaint. No deaths resulted from the disease, and all were mild cases. The Home has suffered greatly from the enforced absence of Mrs. Lillie L. Fletcher, Secretary of the AdvisoryBoard of the Order of the Eastern Star, owing to an illness so severe that it has deprived the membership of her companionship and activities for about six months. Her apparently early restoration to healthis路a cause of sincere rejoicing among all members. Owing to the building operations it has seemed wise to permit of long vacations during the school intermission and more than half

of the children have been gone for a month or thereabouts, in their tUrIis. The old people have had long vacations when requested. It is a pleasure to be able to report that all the children who have been honorably discharged are making good in various avocations. There have been no failures among them. Elsewhere will be found a complete list of donations which have been generous and worth while. The lodges, Eastern Star Chapters and the ,public are numerously represented. The doilatitms are highly appreciated. The Home and its members are indebted for many invitations for their pleasure, of which acknowledgments were made at the time, but it seems proper that in this report a mention of these courtesies should be included. The Christmas Committee of the St. Louis lodges, the Lodges, the Eastern Star Chapters, the St. Louis Auto Club, the theaters, Moolah Orchestra and others have contributed to the happiness of the members. The Chapel services continue to be popular with members and others, who fill the Chapel on Sunday' afternoons. The children's singing is ever a great attraction and we are honored with the presence of eminent divines by the invitation of the lodges and Chapters of the Order of the Eastern Star, who conduct the services-on request of the Superintendent, and frequently these organizations bring specialists in music, thereby increasing the interest in the services. As soon as practicable it is the intention to restore and' improve the beauty of the grounds under a comprehensive plan of landscape gardening. A tennis court has recently been installed north of the Hospital building by the generosity of the Christmas Committee, \',rho are ever striving to make every Home m'ember happier, and are most su~cessful in their efforts. The Administration and Children's Building may be said to be completed and may be occupied by the time this report is in print. Briefly, there are ample accommodations for the administration of the affairs of the Home, ample dormitories for children for many years. The congestion in sleeping rooms has been continuous, and the relief so generously provided will be welcome. The rooms for the old people in their buildings are practically exhausted and as a consequence new membets find quarters in wards in the Hospital building, shifts being made when possible to ex-

change to private rooms. The completion of the first story of the west wing of the Hospital building will relieve this congestion: 'The professional musiCal artists in the Fraternity in St. Louis are doing a most worthy, noble and acceptable work aJ!1ong the children. They have organized themselves into an association for all time, with the purpose of teaching the Home children, and already. there are thirty who are studying tl1e violin and piano. In a short time the othe.r instruments of an orchestra will be taken up, and it is hoped that by the time of the next meeting of the Grand Lodge The Masonic Home Orchestra will be a fact. These, brothers give their time loyally and punctually, and have already found several children for whom they prophesy special excellence of results. Too much credit cannot be given to these gentlemen and brothers who are actuated solely by thdr desire to elevate and improve the children. It is a most noble project and must produce a finer appreciation of life on the part of the beneficiaries. Not only the instruction, but the instruments, are donated, these being for the use of l'ltuderts, but to remain the property of the Home.

In this estimate only 180, and 211 persons (members, by average) are considered. The meals to employes' and officers are counted as a part of the cost of meals to members .. On this basis the cost per meal figures 32.75 cents per day, or 10.97 cents per meal, in 1912-13, and in 1913-14 figures 35.78 cents per day, or 11.92 cents per meal.

~CKNOWLEDGMENT
It is difficult to refrain from a word of appreciation of the courtesy and kindness which have been so cordially awarded to the Superintendent and Matron. The continuance of the encouragement which has been so freely accorded by the Fraternity has helped greatly and is cherished.

The co-operation of the Matron of the Old People, Mrs. Lee, and that of Mrs. Downey, Secretary, and the governesses of the children is of immense value, just as'is the loyalty and devotion and carefulness of all employes. The efficiency in the hospital, the kitchens and the departments of housekeeping and sewing attest the sincerity of those who' are in charge. Fraternally submitted, CLIFFORD C. BAKER, Superintendent.

MATRON'S LETTER TO THE GRAND LODGE. When ne~t year you VIsit us you will see the children in the beautiful new building you have so generously given them, and could you now hear them plan about how they are going to "fix up" their rooms you would be more than paid for it all, and glad to see their anticipation of happiness in the new fire-proof Home. r might write on forever and never tell half the good the Masons are doing for the Home family, old and young. Paragraphs concern路 ing them and their interests and welfare are probably what will more interest you, however. Forty-four children enjoyed vacations going to their homes in various parts of the State, or visited in the city. They are, without exception, always glad to be at home again, and they miss the companionship of the other children. During the last year seventeen children have been added to the Fami1y---:-God love them all, we do-while eight have left to take up life's struggles. And several of those who have gone have said they wished themselves back here again. After they have gone out into the world they know that they did not fully appreciate the advantages they had while members. The Christmas Committee, which is composed of representatives of the St. Louis lodges, are continu.aIly doing something for the children. They deserve great praise. On Christmas morning the children come down the stairs singing their carol of praise, and march into the dining room, which has been trimmed in the season's colors and with designs, where all are greeted by our Board of Directors, the Christmas Committee and their families who have. come to have breakfast with us. After the meal the gifts are distributed to each child, and to hear them say "just what I wanted" makes it all worth while. Last Christmas we were favored by having with us our Grand Worthy Matron, Sister Zeppa Owens. Her chapter, of Hannibal, sent each member, old and young, a gift. We had ma!!y gifts from the lodges, chapters and the public, at Christmas time, just as happy people everywhere have. The Past Matrons and Past Patrons Club of St. Lo~is gave the children a strawberry feast, which they thoroughly enjoyed, in the season. This is a pleasure-giving club and its work means much to our home life. Hallowe'en and all other holidays were duly observed. On Easter Sunday the children were guests of the Knights Templar Comman-

deries of the City at the Third Baptist Church. The children sang two numbers, and, as usual, through the kindness of Bro. McCullough, we had special cars. There is nothing too much for the Masons to do for the children of the Home. Moolah orchestra has given several delightful concerts in the Chapel, and at different times our Scotch friends have come out dressed in their native costumes and sang and danced to the pleasure of all. The children have been guests of Keystone Lodge, the Scottish Rite Bodies and the Christmas Committee for delightful boat rides. Among other pleasures the big boys go swimming and play ball, while the girls play basket ball and tennis, the Christmas Committee having furnished a tennis court, which is the delight of all. The picture shows are visited regularly by alL This last year we had a siege of diphtheria, but we are thankful that we had the best accommodations for the cases, and faithful doctors and nurses, and all were spared. . Fred Matlack, one of the older boys, was a victim of appendicitis recently, and an operation was performed, and he has recovered and is now home from our hospital. The general health of all the children is good. We had no accident on the Fourth of July while the ehildren were enjoying to their hearts' content the fireworks given them by the Christmas Committee. The Auto Club of St. Louis gave the children a ride in autos through the parks, as last year, prOViding them with horns, flags and bunting. Twenty c-hildren attended the summer schools, they being anxious to advance in their work and make a mark in the advantages they have in the Clark and Soldan schools which they attend. Many chapters and lodges of the city have favored us with ice cream and cake, much to the delight of the children. Presents of popcorn and candy have come our way often, and it is apparent that everyone is wanting to share their pleasures with the children. The children are being given lessons on different instruments through the kindness of the Masonic Home Musical Association, w'hose members give their services freely, and' supply the instruments, and we hope that when Grand Lodge meets here next year they will have an orchestra of which you will be proud. Friendship Chapter entertained the children at picnic in Tower Grove Park and they had a happy day. '1"

Our children naturally look forward each year to the watermelon feast of the Ch ristmas Committee, gi yen in August. Last, but not least, to come, by any means, is our picnic at Webster Groves. We all enjoy the hospitality of the Chapter on that day. A large number of Masons and members of the Order of the Eastern Star Chapters have visited the Horne during the year, and after going through the several building's declare that they are going to tell their brothers and sisters that they, too, must visit the Home and see how much every Mason and Eastern Star member is appreciated for what they are doing. The only sad part of my work as Matron is parting from the girls and' boys when they leave the Horne circle. They have wound themselves about our hearts and this makes the separation hard to bear: The children have missed their true friend, Mrs. Lillie L. Fletcher, and are united in wishing her a speedy return to health and hope that she may come to the Home soon, where she is always welcome. I want to thank the President and members of the Board for their many courtesies to me'in the two years of my work here in the Home. I, as IViatron, also wish to thank the Masonic Fraternity for the kind acts, t@o numerous to mention, which they have done for the children of the Masonic Horne. Let the good work go on and on, the younger ones following in the footsteps of the older Masons. God will surely bless all engaged in this great service. I ask for His guidance and that I may be to these children in whose care you have placed me, a Mother. Fraternally, HARRIET E. BAKER, Matron.

LETTER FROM THE MATRON OF THE OLD PEOPLE TO THE GRAND LODGE. Once again we are reminded that time is swifter than a weaver's shuttle, as we are brought face to face with the fact that another milestone has been passed, and today we stand on the threshold of another year in the history of the Masonic Home of Missouri. We recognize the hand of One who, knowing the .end from the beginning, controls our destiny and with open hands supplies our needs. Many times during the months that are gone we have grieved to bid farewell to those of our family who have crossed over the river to rest under the shade, and whose lives are our pleasant memories. In many instances our yearly habits, t~e daily routine, are somewhat similar. Many happy events transpire to remind us that the Board of Directors, Masonic and Eastern Star, are united in one grand effort to add to the comforts, supplies and necessities and also to throw sunshine and happiness into the lives of the older members. The Hospital, having an able staff of physicians, with Miss Daisy Hoppin as head nurse, and her efficient corps of nurses, is unequaled, as is also the kitchen and dining room service. . The covered passageway leading from the Old Pe0p'le's building to their dining room in the Hospital is a blessing. We are grateful to the Board and especially to our President, Wl10 hastened its completion before cold weather came. May God bless him and crown his unfaltering effort and interest in behalf of the Home with success. Permit me to 'mention some of the enjoyments conferred upon the older members during the year: From the Christmas Committee an invitation to a picture show and afterwards ice cream and cake; Christmas in part from them, also. The day was ushered in with a snow storm, but nevertheless we had several gueJits for breakfast, among them the Scotch Highlanders, who made things merry. Our dining room was beautifully decorated with Christmas colors and the Masonic and Eastern Star emblems painted by our brother, Huiest, added much to the beauty of the decorations; money, fruits and candy from the Committee; gifts from Bellefontaine Chapte)', O. E. S., No. 69, Occidental Chapter, O. E. S., No. 185, Crown and Sceptre Chapter, o. E. S., No.1, of Hannibal, of which the Worthy Grand Matron of Missouri, Mrs. Zeppa Owens, isa member, and who hon-

ored us with a visit; Order of the True Kindred, of Kansas City, Miss Hecock as representative; every few months visits from the Past Matrons and Patrons Club to entertain in many ways, namely, music, recitations, 'ice cream, cake, strawberries and 'Shamrock party. The club also presented a sectional book-case for the East reception hall and aluminum numbers for the doors in the Old People's building; Rose Hill sewing circle, potted plants, ice cream and cake at Easter; Moolah Temple orchestra, entertainment; also invitation to see the California Shrine drill at the Coliseum; invitatation from the Sir Knights to attend their minstrel show, also the Easter services at Third Baptist Church; Home Chapter, O.

O. E. S., of Ferguson, an all-day picnic at Bro. Tiffany's residence; Webster Groves Chapter, O. Eo S., an all-day picnic at the home of Bro. Beatty; Friendship Ohapter, O. E. S., a shower of canned fruits and preserves and a sunset picnic; Oriental Chapter, concert; Capt. McCullough, special cars, thus enabling many to attend functions; the St. Louis Times Co. and Globe-Democrat Co.,. each twelve copies of the daily issues; Mr. Chas. Snider, several copies of the Missouri Freemason to members;' three yearly subscriptions to the New Age, by Bro. Tueteberg, of Polar Star Lodge. Many of the older members of the Home who are members of the Order of the Eastern Star have visited, with me, many of the different Chapters, some by special invitation, and always received a hearty welcome and souvenirs of the occasion. All of these and more courtesies were greatly enjoyed and appreciated: All of. the older members by a rising vote rendered thanks¡ to each and everyone of, you for your untiring efforts to bring cheer and brighten their pathways, and declared it a banner year. â&#x20AC;˘ SpeCial p.rayer and song services were held in the East Reception Hall for the restoration to health of Mrs. Lillie Fletcher, our beloved friend. The mention of her name lighted the countenances of all. Her influence for good is felt in the Home. We reverently thank our Heavenly Father for sparing her to us. A disappointment felt by the older members is 'that the Grand Lodge and Grand Chapter, 0: E. S., are not meeting with us this year.

[Sept.-Oct.
What more shall I say? For four short, busy years I have been in the Home, planning, toiling, trying as best I could to make life for the older members of the Home one of pleasure and comfort. Whatever of success may have attended my efforts is due and most of all to the loyal support of Mr. Baker, the Superintendent, and. his faithful and efficient wife, backed by the President and Board of Directors, as they in turn have been so freely and fully sustained by the Fraternity. To one and all my heart goes out in deepest gratitude, not for myself alone, though I am truly grateful, but on behalf of those I represent. Sincerely and fraternally, ANNIE LEE.
