REPORT ON CORRESPONDENCE. To the M. W. Grand Lodge, Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons Missouri:

In presenting my Annual Report for your consideration, I beg leave to say that while regretting it does not reach that high ideal which your taste and the dignity of our Grand Lodge may well demand, yet I have tried earnestly to meet your wishes, and while deprecating top severe criticism, I would yet be glad of any suggestion by which, either in my hands or those of another, it may be improved in the future. Several Grand Jurisdictions-one at least with somewhat tedious and labored reasoning-repudiate the idea of a Report on Correspondence in a way not exactly complimentary to those who hold to the plan. Some Grand Lodges and their correspondents seem to resent this, but to our mind it is a matter of taste and the only question is, whether with this ~ignificant attitude on their' part these Grand Lodges should be noticed by the reviev.'cr, as it would seem they do not desire it. One or two reviewers have originated and are practicing a new idea and instead of a real review present to their Grand Lodges an essay or discussion of such Masonic topics as may be suggested by other reviewers, without special reference to statistics, data or generaJ conditions. This also is a matter of taste-but not ours-and we have no possible criticism to offer. AS TO CORNER-STONES.

In this, as in much else, the custom and practice of our Grand Lodges differ moreor less. But if we mistake not-without dwelling on individual cases coming before us-the consensus is that according to the principles of our order: A corner-stone cannot be laid on the Sabbath day. A corner-stone cannot be laid for a framed or othenvise flimsy building. A corner-stone cannot be laid after the wall is built above it. And A corner-stone laid by the路 hands of Freemasons should bear on one of its faces the imprimatur of the Grand Lodge.

SPECIAL DISPENSATIONS.

Many subordinate lodges are really INSUBORDINAn~ in failing to carefully observe the law as to elections, etc., and the ease with which a special dispensation is generally to be had tends to habits of carelessness and adds to the work and complications of the Grand Master and Grand Secretary. In s<?me Grand Lodges a special fee of five or ten dollars is charged for such dispensation, which in our judgment is wise, as it tends 'to decreasE! the number and adds to t~e finances of the Grand Lodge.

DECISIONS AND RULINGS.

In at least one Grand Lodge there is a law that no .decision can be rendered by the Grand Master except in case of an appeal from the decision of the Master or the lodge. To our mind this is a good law and if enacted and enforced in every Grand Jurisdiction would tend to diminish the wearisome correspondence which falls to the lot of our Grand Masters and also to render our laws and edicts less confused and sometimes conflicting.

TIm QUESTION OF JURISDICTION.

In the meeting of the Grand Masters in Philadelphia some years since it was tacitly agreed that instead of Perpetual or Territorial Jurisdiction the limit should be a term of five yea'rs. Of course, this was only suggestive or advisory, as the body had no legislative functions. Some adopted the five-year limit, some other periods, but the majority of the Grand Lodges held to their former policy, either "territorial or perpetual jurisdiction". The possibility of trouble over this difference was manifest from the first and this possibility has now crystallized into fact, in that certain Grand Lodges claiming perpetual jurisdiction, considering themselves aggrieved because parties rejected by them were made Freemasons in other Grand Jurisdictions, have issued "edicts" naming these parties as clandestines and forbidding their lodges to recognize them. And, now as the Grand Lodge whose member is pronounced and interdicted as clandestine will feel bound, as it would seem it must, to protect its member, and proceed to sever fraternal relations with the Grand Lodge so offending, we have separation and strife instead of amity and the case of one may be that of many.

AND

2, 1915.

The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of Alabama and its Masonic Jurisdiction commenced its Ninety-fifth Annual Communication in the Masonic Temple in the City of Montgomery, on the morning of Wednesday, at nine o'clock, on the first day of December, A. D. 1915, A. L. 5915, and was opened in ample form, with a good attendance, the detail of which covers some 14 pages. In accordance with the standing regulation adopted at the Annual Communication in 1907, the Grand Master directed the Grand Secretary to notify the Grand Lodge of Kansas that their Representative had failed for three conseeutive years to attend the Annual Communications of this Grand Lodge, and to request that his commission be revoked and commission issued as may be recommended by the Grand Master of this Grand Lodge. In our judgment this should be the case with every such delinquent brother. ANNUAL ADDRESS.

In the opening paragraphs the Grand Master wisely says: There has been a tendency on the part of some of our members to leave to a few of the officers and members the responsibility of all legislation, and the conduct of all business of the Grand Lodge; but I sincerely trust that every member of this Grand Lodge will recognize the necessity and accept the responsibility which rests upon him, and take an active interest in all our work; in this manner only can the best results be obtained. It is' meet' that we should express our thanks and gratitude to our Supreme Grand Master that peace reigns within our Nation.

Across the seas there continues to be waged the most horrible warfare, which is costing not only millions of money and thousands of lives, but is causing untold suffering evcn by those who are taking no part in this terrible conflict; even in our own country we continue to suffer by reason of this war. AS TO PROFANITY.

We have foes without, and foes within, our ranks; and one of our greatest within is the Brother who has knelt at our sacred Altar and received the same solemn obligations, professing a belief in God and calling upon Him to help him and "keep him steadfast," and now lets fall from his lips such profanity as to make one almost shudder! Alas! how often do we hear words of profanity and vulgarity coming from the lips of those who have been taught to reverence and adore the name of their God; how often, in places of business, on the streets, everywhere, sometimes in the parlor or waiting-room, and even within the Lodge room, do we hear the name of God taken in vain in the most shocking manner?

So say we-and more! KEW LODGES.

The Grand Master granted dispensations for the organization of nine new lodges. Seven others were presented, of which five \vere withdrawn, one refused and one yet pending. All of which indicates health and progress. One Charter was arrested for failure to make annual returns and to answer communications of Grand Secretary. MASONIC HOME.

The Grand Master commends this institution in strong terms, bewails the lack of interest among the brethren because of which the Home is in need and recommends that the Grand Treasurer and Secretary be empowered to borrow $5,000 for the temporary use of the Home. Of this institution the assets in路 property and cash aggregate some $135,000. The average of inmates for the year is 118. The per capita expense of maintenance we cannot ascertain from the data given with exactness, but it seems to be considerably over .$300. The farm expenses and products "break even"-that is, the one about equals the other. FOREIGN CORREsroNDEN CEo

The style of the correspondent is unlike any other we havE: seen. He introduces a subject and discusses it with quotations from

and allusions to different Grand Jurisdictions. He commends it (!) inferentially by stating, in effect, that the ordinary method as used by ordinary (?) correspondents is apt to become "stale", etc. We do not know whether he mentions Missouri or not, as we have not time to scan every paragraph.

The M. W. Grand Lodge of F. & A. Masons of the State of Arkansas met at its Seventy-fourth Annual Communication, in Grand Lodge Hall in Masonic Temple, in the City of Little Rock, on Tuesday, the 16th day of November, A. D. 1915, the same being the third Tuesday of November, at the hour of 10 o'clock of said day, and was opened in ample form. Besides the Grand Officers there were 13' Past Grand Masters and the 18 District Deputy Grand Masters present, besides the representatives of a quorum of the lodges in the Grand Jurisdiction. GRAND HONORS FOR THE DEAD.

In accordance with the custom of the Grand Lodge the roll of deceased Grand Masters was called, the Grand Lodge was called' to attention, and the Funeral Grand Honors were given. THE ANNUAL ADDRESS.

The address of the Grand Master indicates a careful attention to the responsibilities of his office and also brings into view the fact that his mind is not merely occupied with details, but well calculated in its strength to discuss the great underlying principles of our

Order, and in its sensibility to touch the deep heart of human thought and feeling. We give an extract: With a heart filled with a deep sense of gratitude to our Father in Heaven, in that we are pel'mitted to again assemble and hold this, the Seventy-fourth Annual Communication of this Grand Lodge, I bid you all a hearty and fraternal welcome. It is indeed a great comfort to us that with most ().~ the Nations of Europe engaged in gigantic warfare, with countless thousands slain, and more thousands maimed, and still more left fatherless, we, in this country-this glorious land of ours-are free from the entanglements of bloody strife, and that we have' been able to remain so without the sacrifice of honor and dignity. Let us hope and pray that in the guidance of the affairs of this Nation we may continue to avoid participating in any of the troubles which have already shattered other Nations, torn many ties asunder, and wrecked thousands of homes, as well as destroyed untold property and human life, which should be dearer than to be so ruthlessly held at so little value. In this great struggle which has stirred the whole world as it has never before been disturbed, we have had many requests to, in some manner, invoke or assist in movements for peace. These movements have been as vague as they have been fruitless, and it seems that nothing but continued carnage will avail until all this fJ;ightful sacrifice will culminate in a final settlement of whatever there may be of the difficulties which brought on the unfortunate and seeming unnecessary struggle. As for ourselves, as a fraternity, we can only go on, it seems tll me, adhering rigidly to the great lessons which are taught us, and which have guided the eraft through generations; hoping always, praying always, and laboring always, for an early peaceful condition of tJ:1e people of this world; and yet ever remembering that love or country, loyalty and devotion to this great land of ours, over which floats the starry glory, the emblem of religious and political liberty, is such as to inspire us to the protection of that flag so dear to us. and which represents not only this great country and for what it stands, but means its very life as well. So while asked to assist in various peace movements, let us not forget that peace with honor, peace with the preservation of dignity, and peace wi th a proper regard for our flag and our fair land, is the peace for which this country not only stands, but will insist路 as right to itself and to humanity. And in this, Masonry stands where it has always stood-for that which is right, that which is true, and that which means the upholding of the honor, the dignity and the glory of the land so very dear to us, and over which floats the most glorious flag that any Nation has ever given birth to. MASONIC RELIEF.

The Grand Master refers very earnestly to the desolation created by the war in Europe and insists upon the propriety and necessity of open-handed Masonic charity. This he does in a circular

sent out during the year. He quotes the fact that M. W. Wm. B. Mellish, Chairman Executive Committee War Relief Association, reports the sum of $16,000.00 as having been sent to different bodies of Masons in Europe. Also he reports the total receipts to this fund in the United States up to October 15 as $73,281.30.

Being notified that the flood sufferers at Newport, Arkansas, were in great need on account of the overflow in August, the Grand Master ordered $500.00 sent to the General Committee of Relief.

NEW LODGES.

After careful consideration" the Grand Master granted a dispensation for the creation of one new lodge, and with equally careful consideration he refused to grant a dispensation in another instance.

DISPENSATIONS IN CENERAL.

The Grand Master granted a number of dispensations to various lodges for the purpose of electing and installing officers out of time, and for other purposes, but he did" this reluctantly, believing that in most cases it was the result of carelessness on the part of lodges, and should not be encouraged. We heartily endorse the attitude of the Grand Master on this subject and believe that some sort of penalty should be affixed ," in every case of gross failure in prompt attention to masonic responsibility in lodge action, unless impossible to be prevented. Very generally Grand Masters are too ready to grant dispensations for almost any purpose and at any time. MASONIC CHARITY.

The Gl'and Master deplores the fact that so many lodges are in such financial condition, that they are unable to meet an emergency in granting aid to a distressed brother of family, without calling on other lodges for assistance. The number asking for such aid during the year was 18, and the 12 reporting to the Grand Master stated that they had received altogether something like $1,000.00. It was patural but worthy of note that most of the contributions were from the same lodges.

GEORGE WASHINGTON MEl\fORIAL ASSOCIATION.

The Grand Master refers to this institution with approval, regretting that the Grand Lodge of Arkansas has hitherto refused to co-operate, and he recommends that the sum of $100.00 be contributed at once to secure membership in the Association. He reports no decisions or rulings worthy to be recorded. He reports the Masonic Home as in fine cohdition and well meriting the confidence and sl)pport of the Grand Lodge. The report concludes very pleasantly as follows: As we go along life's pathway, there are here and there those incidents or efforts of endeavor, which leave an imprint on our hearts and minds which we may well liken to the haiting at some milestone we reach on a traveled rGlad, and where, because of the mingling of congenial comrades, we linger long, before we reluctantly depart on our way. It is with this thought I liken my term as Grand Master of this Grand Lodge. "There is no friend like the old friend, who has shared our morning days, No greeting like his welcome, no 'homage like his praise; Fame is the scentless Sunflower, with gaudy crown of Gold; But friendship is the breathing rose, with sweets in every fold." In the name of those of my fireside so very dear to me, in the name of the Lodge which raised me as a Mason, I thank you, and fervently wish you all a God-speed, an instructive session, one fraught with its fullness of blessings, and that you may all return to your homes without accident or misfortune befalling you, and that the fruits of this session may make us all better Masons, which means being a better father, a better 'brother, a better son and a better citizen. RgPORT OF TIm GRAND SgCRI,TARY.

Brother Hempstead is one of the most careful and efficient Grand Secretaries among the Grand Lodges, and we would not presume to criticise him under any circumstances, but we regret that our want of vision is such that we cannot be sure as to some matters touched upon. Especially is our report of the membership and gain of the Grand Lodge a matter of uncertainty. Unless we are greatly in error the membership last year was reported as larger than at the present time and it seems to us that the gain must be greater than 26, which is the number we suggest after going over the figures given as carefully as possible. There is no report on Fraternal Correspondence and we suppose that the Grand Lodge of Arkansas proposes to follow the example of

Massachusetts, which we much regret, as a well-conducted Fraternal Correspondence must assist materially in maintaining that Masonic solidarity which we profess to seek after and to prize so highly.

SIXTY-SIXTH ANNUAL COMMUNICATION.

The Most Worshipful Gran~ Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the Jurisdiction of California commenced its Sixty-sixth Annual Communication in the Masonic Temple, in the City of San Francisco, on Tuesday, October 12th, A. L. 5915, at 10 o'clock a. m., with all, Grand and several Past Grand Officers present, besides a large representatIon from constituent 路lodges. The -Grand Lodge was opened in ample form, the Grand Chaplain offering the following invocation: Supreme Grand Master, Our Heavenly Father, we lift our hearts to Thee in reverence and gratitude for the many blessings vouchsafed to us, which, should we attempt to count, are more than we could enumerate. We thank Thee that Free Masonry was ever instituted among the children of men. 路May the pure principles of our Order continue to influence manldnd to a still higher plane of living. We thank Thee that we live in a land of civil and religious liberty; a land where every man may worship God accordin'g 'to the dictates of his own conscience, and none dare molest or make afraid. While a great portion of th'e world is engaged in mortal combat, we thank Thee that our beloved Nation has been enabled to maintain strict neutrality. Bless and guide the President of these United States and his advisers, in such a manner that the "great ship of state" may be safely piloted through the shoals and breakers which beset it from within and with~ out, and find safe anchorage in the haven of honorable and lasting peace. Give wisdom to him who shall preside over the delibep~.tions of this Grand session; also the other officers, and members of "this Grand'Body; may the legislation herein e~acted be eve~ bett~~"than that of the past. May this meeting thus begun in order be' d;riducted in peace, and closed in harmony. These favors we ask in Thy Holy Name. Amen.

THE ANNUAL ADDRESS

is introduced by the statement that on the very day he was installed as Grand Master he was appointed Judge of the United States District Court, the duties of which office, though not preventing his meeting and discharging all responsibilities as Grand Master, yet prevented him from many social pleasures he would otherwise have enjoyed in his engagements as Grand Master. He fills several pages with lofty sentiment, and we would be glad to quote at length, but a paragraph or two must suffice: In this spirit, if we succeed in any appreciable degree in rendering the tenure of the race here on earth happier, more contented and less disappointing, we will have justified our existence and offered some reasonable excuse to our minds and consciences for the time and effort expended in the name of Freemasonry. In this spirit, also, whatever is an enemy to the genuine progress of the race is an enemy of ours, whether It be a war, a famine, a misuse of the powers of wealth or of industry, or even an institution. The man, then, who can actually add something to the uplift of political life, something to the brotherhood of social life, something to the ethics of commercial life, something to the justice of industrial life, something to the freedom of religious life, something to the practical efficiency of spiritual life-that man Is a Mason, whether he has ever taken our obligations or not. He who, on the contrary, has not done some of these things, even in a small and modest way, is not a Mason, no matter how many letters or figures may be seen after his name, nor how large and inspiring路 it watch charm may adorn his waistcoat. Remember, no truer or more inspiring sentiment was ever voiced than that of him who said: "Wi th deed and word and pen, Thou hast served thy fellow men; Therefore, art thou exalted."

The Grand Master report~ the constituting of twelve lodges and the creating of seven new lodges. He reports many Special Grand Communications and Visitations. He reports a number of rulings, or decisions, to none of which we object, .unless it be to that which modifies the right of a member to object to a visitor. We have always understood that this right was as sacred as the ballot. He rejoices in the character and success of the two Masonic Homes owned and maintained by that jurisdiction. The Old Peo路 pIe's Home has some 130 inmates and the Orphans' Home 67, a~ nearly as 路we can understand the statistics given.

After these preliminaries the Grand Lodge was opened with the usual ceremonies in the presence of a large number of delegates and visitors. The nine lo!1ges of the eity extended fraternal greeting and welcome. We quote in part from their address: Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren: We, the ruling Masters of the nine Lodges of this city, extend hearty and fraternal greetings. Ten years ago the Grand Lodge of Canada celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of its foundation by holding its annual communication in this, the city of its birth. The Grand Lodge has again honored Hamilton by holding the sixtieth anniversary of the formation of Grand Lodge in the city in which the Grand Lodge first saw light.

•

With glad hearts we welcome you, Most Worshipful Sir, and all the brethren of Grand Lodge, to our good city, trusting that the time spent here may be both interesting and instructive.

To which the Grand Master responded in fine form. THE ANNUAL ADDRESS.

I welcome you most cordially to the Sixtieth Annual Communlcation of Grand Lodge and am happy to be able to repeat the opening sentence of my address of last year to the effect that "the year just closed has been one of the best in the history of the craft in this jurisdiction, both financially and numerically." For the year ending 31st May, 1915, our revenue has been $47,233.07, which is within $8.00 of that received last year. The expenditure for ordinary purposes was $25,304.57, and for benevolence was $29,600.00, to which is to be added the sum of $5,145.00 for grants from the Semi-Centennial Benevolent Fund, making the total grants for benevolent purposes for the year ending 31st May, 1915, $34,745.00 as against $33,708.00 for the preceding year. Our membership on 31st May, 1915, is estimated at 59,748, an increase for the year of 2,768. The number of warranted Lodges is 439 as against 425 last year, and there are an additional 8 under dispensation. NEW LODGES.

Four dispensations were granted for the formation of lodges, and one issued last year was withdrawn and another granted in its place.

Appendix.

1916.]

Charters· were issued to 12 lodges formerly working under dispensation. FRATERNAL DEAD.

The Grand Master refers to a number of distinguished Masons who have passed away in tender terms, and closes this allusion with the following beautiful stanza: They're passing away, these dear old friends, Like leaves on the current cast; With never a break in the rapid flow, We watch them as one by one they go, Into the solemn past.

The Grand Master. reports 35 decisions or rulings, to none of . which we see serious objection. VISITATIONS AND COURTESIES.

The Grand Master reported a number of visitations, always being received with the courtesies due to his rank, and sometimes being received with unusual honor and special ceremonies. THE GREAT WAR.

Very naturally the Grand Master expresses himself most feelingly upon this subject, sometimes using language almost too strong to be quoted in this review. However, we give an extract or two: In the ten years preceding the present titanic contest, Germany threatened Europe with war on three occasions; in 1905, when she demanded and obtained the resignation of M. Delcasse, the French Minister of Foreign Affairs as the- alternative; in 1909 when she threw her "Shining Armor" into the scale and compelled Russia to acquiesce in the annexation of Bosnia-Herzegovina by Austria-Hungary and the tearing up of the treaty of Berlin, and again in 1911 when she endeavored, at Agadir, to coerce France and break up her .entente with Britain.

•

No nation ever desired peace more sincerely than Britain; no men ever wrought harder to avoid war than did her statesmen in the week immediately preceding the conflict. Their lack of success, then hard to understand, is now explained, for the avowed aim of German Imperialism is the destruction of British power, our national humiliation and the partition of the British Empire. From Treitschke downward, that idea has been an absorbing preoccupation of German historians, and is the ingrained German view of German destiny.

•

••

•

Appendi.'r.

[Sept.

In the conduct of the war Germany has been ruthless and brutal. Where her interests were at stake there has been no code of right or wrong. Might has been the only law. Nothing else could justify to the German mind the appalling cruelty and vandalism in Belgium, carried out, not by an inflamed and vindictive soldiery, but deliberately, by officers, for a terrorist purpose.

••

•

/ CONCLUSION.

The Grand Master closes his address very reverently, with these words: May the Great Architect of the Universe bless us all and ever enable us to glorify His Holy Name, and humbly say: "Our Father, Who art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name, Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven; Give us this day our daily bread, Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive them That trespass against us; Lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil, For thine is the Kingdom, the Power and the Glory, For ever and ever, Amen." BELGIAN RELIEF FUND.

The Grand Master reports having received from various lodges and other sources the handsome sum of $42,058.10 to this meritorious charity. Receipts to the General Fund for the year are reported at $48,401.51. REPORT ON CORRESPONDENCE.

During the year ten Special Grand Communications were held, as follows: Se~tember 16, 1914; September 20, 1914; October 2, 1914; October 11, 1914; October 23, 1914; December 11,1914; June 5,1915; June 19, 1915; July 5, 1915; September 11, 1915. Four of these were for dedicating and consecrating lodge halls, four fo.r tIle purpose of laying corner-stones and two for paying funeral honors. Only one address is given. At the laying of the corner-stone of the new Federal Building at La Junta, Colorado, the speaker said, in part: We are not assembled to lay the foundation of a monument to commemorate the achievements of war, nor are we assembled to erect a memorial over the ashes of statesmen or soldiers; our work is rather to dedicate this building to the pursuits of peace. The erection of this structure will not draw attention to any important date in our annals, nor will it attract notice to this comparatively obscure and unknown spot, but this building will remain a monument of peace, for the enlightenment of coming generations. Here, chiseled in granite, they will read this inscription and reflect that, while the nations of the old world were pulling down their temples and destroying their works of art, this nation, in the new world, was creating new works of art and building new temples dedicated to the pursuits of peace, prosperity and happiness. ANNUAL COMMUNICATION.

The M. W. Grand Lodge, A. F. & A. Masons of Colorado, met in its Fifty-Fifth Annual Communication in Masonic Temple, in Den路 vel', Co}orado, Tuesday, September 21, 1915, at 10 o'clock a. m. The Grand Lodge was opened in ample form by the M. W. Grand Master, Charles H. Dudley, with the Grand Officers in their respective stations, prayer being offered by R. W. Brother Zachariah X. Snyder, Grand Chaplain: The roll of deceased Past Grand Masters was called and the Grand Master called the Grand Lodge to bowed heads and silent devotion in their memory. The Grand Representatives present were called to the East and

Appendix.

,were welcomed in courteous terms by the Grand Master, to which W. Bro. Howard T. VaiIle, Grand Representative from Arkansas, made a pleasant response. The Grand Master then presented his annual address, which covers only eighteen pages, and is not only a model in brevity, but also in its comprehensive character. We give the first and last paragraphs: â&#x20AC;˘ Brethren: We are again assembled in fraternal conference that we may exchange greetings, renew old friendships and create new ones, note the trend of affairs since we last met, and take inventory of our possessions, material and spiritual, of our silver and gold, of our joys and sorrows, our accomplishments and reverses, our experiences and the hopes they have inspired and the disappointments suffered, our moral gains and losses, and strike the balance, and, as without we are driven by the tempest of a world's storm of unrest and conflict, observe our bearings and determine if all is well within our beloved and. honorable institution; that we may consider the needs of the morrow and how best we shall plan to. meet them, how to keep warm and pure that fraternal fellowship we crave and enjoy, how best to build character and strengthen our moral fiber that, in the days to come, we may aequit ourselves acceptably to others and without dishonor to our fraternity, how best to advance our banners, and how much of fortitude and sacrifice is our portion to lead our institution on toward that high state of enlightenment and influence which is its ideal.

â&#x20AC;˘

Masonry is an institution of strength, grace and beauty; of large proportions; of wide influences and of great moral and vitalizing power. May we accept it, not alone for what it has been, and the record of its glorious achievements, but as a present personal opportunity, pointing the way to individual improvement; to true and patriotic citizenship; to delightful associations with our fellows; to Âˇthe duty of "living well together," and to the happy reflections of a life well spent. My Brethren, we cultivate the rose in our gardens, that it may bud and bloom, and its fragrance and beauty reward us for our labors. I would that we may, even more, cultivate Masonry that it may bud and bloom in our hearts and its fragrance and beauties, unfolding greater visions and pointing to the heights, return to us in happiness, inspiration and sweet content, all that we may offer In thought, word, act and deed. May the A uthor of Nature, the Grand Master of all, bless you and yours abundantly.

Three lodges were constituted and one created during the year. Various dispensations were granted and the usual appointments reported. The Grand Master reported two decisions, both evidently in accord with law and usage.

ANNUAL ADDRESS.

In the opening paragraphs the Grand Master expresses sorrow for the devastation of war on the. other side of the sea and thanksgiving to the Omnipotent for mercies received. Further on we quote: Your Grand Master has been unusually favored during his year of office in respect to demands upon his time and energy for official duties in the Jurisdiction. Except at the Masonic Home on Grand Masters' Day, there have been no corner-stone layings. There have been no dedications ot Lodges, no Special Communications, nor has he been called upon to ta~e part in matters of importance to the Craft

Appendi.1:.

[Sept.

in connection wi th other Jurisdictions, and especially has he been spared the duty of interfering in the affairs of any of our Subordinate Lodges, to settle disputes, or to render decisions on questions of Jurisprudence. His real duties have been those of routine, and in keeping in touch with the active Masonic endeavor throughout the Jurisdiction, and in trying, as opportunity permitted, to advance the peace, harmony and uplift of the Craft to that high ideal to which we aspire. This Grand Lodge meets today with its membership nearly intact, only one Craftsman having been called on that long journey to the farther shore, whence none return. My Brothers, while we deeply mourn and sincerely regret this sad loss, let us also thank the Great Author of the Universe that we are spared to such an unusual extent the greater losses of former years, and praise Him most sincerely for our escape from overwhelming affliction in these times of worldwide disruption, and our full enjoyment of peace, harmony and prosperity.

He reports four anniversaries, to-wit: Hamilton Lodge, No. 54, of Sharon, celebrated its one hundredth anniversary on May 24, 1915. St. John's Lodge, No.6, Norwalk, held its one hundred and fiftieth anniversary, May 23, 1915. Union Lodge, No. 96, Thomaston, celebrated its fiftieth anniversary on June 4, 1915. King Solomon Lodge, No.7, Woodbury. celebrated its one hundred and fiftieth anniversary on July 17, 1915. The Grand Master regrets exceedingly that he was unable to attend any of these anniversaries except that of St. John's, No.6, at Norwalk.

This is interesting, if not startling, to us of the West, whose Grand Lodges are but children among these veterans. Connecticut, of course, is one of our very oldest Grand Lodges. The membership of the 110 lodges averages 236, which is probably greater than that of any other Grand Jurisdiction. FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE.

The One Hundred and Tenth Annual Communication of the M. W. Grand Lodge, Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons of Delaware was held in the Masonic Temple, City of Wilmington, October 6, and was.opened in full form at 12 o'clock noon. Opening prayer by Rev. George C. Williams:

o Thou Great Architect of the universe, builder of worlds, creator of men; we turn to Thee for help in the performance of all the duties of life. We look to Thee at this hour for divine wisdom that we may be guided in the path of truth in the deliberations of this occasion. Strengthen within us, 0 Lord, that feeling of brotherly love for each other which unites us into one band of friends; and may there go out from our lives an influence that will tend toward the overthrow of all strife and discord among all mankind. Let the light of revealed truth flow in cleansing streams upon our minds and hearts, and give to us that honesty of purpose that will enable us to profit by the blessed influences of Thy Divine Spirit. Go with us through life, help us to brighten each step of the way by deeds of love and charity; and at the end of the journey may we hear the sweet voice of our Supreme Master say. "Well done." Amen. ANNUAL ADDRESS.

The address of the Grand Master covers some eighteen pages and is worthy of a careful reading, as it not only exhibits a painstaking administration, but also abo~nds in lofty Masonic sentiment. We give an extract: We are living in the most momentous epoch of the world's history. Christian civilization is on trial. Europe is a sea of human blood. Millions of the fairest and bravest of her sons have fallen. Vast armies such as the world has never before seen, equipped with the most diabolical engines of modern warfare, have devastated her fair fields and splendid cities, dealing death and destruction every路路 where, and bringing unutterable misery and ruin in their track. My Brethren, in this great crisis of the world's history. has Freemasonry no mission? Has it no vision of a glorious future. in which the three. great tenets of our beloved Fraternity. '~BrotherIY Love,

Appendix.

[Sept.

Relief and Truth," shall spl"ead over the whole earth, governing and controlling the conduct of nations, as well as individuals, when war shall be no more, and peace andÂˇ concord everywhere prevails? Are we like unto tired travelers, who sit down to rest and refresh themselves, and remain deaf to the call of duty? Let me say that there rests upon our Fraternity the sacred duty of spreading abroad, in every clime, "the great doctrine of "Brotherly Love and Relief; and the Equality of Man in God's sighL" This is the law of Love.

"Beauteous the love of country is, The love that gives so willingly its lifeBut, oh, we long for that more beauteous day When love no boundaries shall know. When man So love his fellow-man, where'er he dwell, That he refuse to slay him. Nor yet dare Send a soul into that great Âˇbeyond While yet that soul's experience on earth For which God sent it forth is incomplete. Beauteous the love of country is, The love that gives so willingly its lifeBut may that day more beauteous soon come When man, though loving not his country less, Shall more than country love his fellow-man."

â&#x20AC;˘

We heartily endorse the following: Few, if any, experienced Freemasons will affirm the principle of rapid Masonic advancement. On the contrary, as has been well said, "The general verdict of these Brethren would be that newly admitted Masons are not sufficiently retarded in their progress upward, with the result that, in the great majority of cases, that which is quickly and easily attained is correspondingly deprived of its due value and importance. Even our beautiful ritual suffers as the result of constant and monotonous repetition, and its ever recurring reiteration Lodge meeting after Lodge meeting is apt to become an undue strain upon the brethren. Whereas, varied by occasional Masonic literary interludes, the tension would be relieved, the ceremonial gain fresh attraction and impressiveness, and the brethre-n th~mselves would be afforded some real education as to Masonic ideals, objects and aspirations.

* THE MASONIC HOME.

The Grand Master speaks of the Home in feeling terms. He admits that with only 3,500 Masons in the Jurisdiction it is a burden, but rejoices that the burden is borne so cheerfully. There are ten inmates in the Home and the entire assets are reported at less than $30,000. Expense per capita, $379.00.

the Grand Master uses the following worthy sentiment in the opening paragraphs:

•

Harmony and good-will have prevailed, and no echo of the confusion and turmoil that has enveloped so large a portion of the civilized world has penetrated our portals or brought into our midst distress and devastation such as has enshrouded and overwhelmed our brethren in Europe. Our hearts bleed for and our sympathies go out to those afflicted people torn and mangled in the rack and ruin of unholy war, those widowed women and orpha;ned children,

[Sept.

those maimed and scarred fellows of our Craft whom force of circumstances has rent asunder so that they hear not and heed not the grand hailing signs of their brethren. God grant the day is near at hand when mad cries of fratricidal strife may give way to the anthem of peace and good-will; when "nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more." Let us hope that the prayers of thousands upon thousands of Masons in our own land may in the mercy of God be instrumental in bringing about a consummation so devoutly to be wished. And if the war continues, may He in the hollow of whose hand we all rest spare us from participation In its horrors. May He give our leaders wisdom to guide the nation in the paths of peace, and quell any discontent or mad ambition among our people.

No decisions are reported. The usual dispensations for the usual reasons are granted and various appointments of Grand Representatives are reported. The Grand Master visited all the lodges during the year, some of them several times; he received many invitations; he strongly commends the Eastern Star Home and also the establishment of Masonic Clubs in the Jurisdiction. The Grand Lodge by formal resolution strongly commends the cause of education as exemplified in the American University and urges the support of that institution.

introducing the body of the work, which is good. Many of the Proceedings that come to our table have no index at all, and many have no abstract of statistics, so that the conscientious reviewer spends many hours in looking for important items, as names, statistics, etc. Many really excellent reviews are marred in this respect. A Special Communication for the purpose of laying the cornerstone of the Masonic Temple at St. Petersburg follows the index and list of Grand Officers, all of the Grand Officers being appointive except the Grand Chaplain.

EIGHTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL

COl\n1U~ICATION.

The M. W. Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the Jurisdiction of Florida assembled in its Eighty-seventh Annual Coinmunication in the City of Jacksonville at 10 o'clock a. m., Tuesday, January 18, A. L. 5916, A. D. 1916, and was opened in ample form by the M. W. Grand Master, with prayer by the Grand Chaplain. After a beautiful exordium the Grand Master calls on the Grand Chaplain, whose invocation is as follows: Father of all mercies and God of all grace, the Giver of every good and perfect gift, the God in whom we live and move and have our being, we thank Thee for all Thy goodness bestowed upon us for the gifts of Thy providence and of Thy grace. Thou hast crowned the year with 'rhy goodness, given us peace and prosperity within our borders. The earth for us and through Thy great goodness has yielded its increase, the pastures are filled with flocks and our varied industries have been revived and strengthened. Grant unto us thankful hearts. Help us to realize more and more that we are dependent on Thee for life and health and all things. May Thy continued goodness draw us nearer to Thyself, Keep our hearts from being lifted up through pride and the vainglory of life, and may we increasingly know the blessedness of that people whose God is the Lord. The Lord send speedy peace to the nations of the earth, and through all the strife and t\lmult of warring nations and. peoples may Thine own purposes of inflnit'e love and grace to a lost world. be wrought out. "God be merciful unto us and bless us; and cause His face to shine upon us; that Thy way may be known upon earth, Thy' saving health among all nations. Let the people praise Thee, a God; let all the people praise Thee. ah, let the nations be glad and sing for joy; for Thou shalt judge the people righteously and govern the nations upon earth. Let the people praise Thee, a God; let all the people praise Thee. Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God even our own God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear Him. Amen and Amen,"

Three lodges were duly constituted and dispensations granted for the institution of ten new lodges during the year. Five corner-stones were laid by duly appointed proxies. Many dispensations for special purposes were granted and several refused.

Among these we find one that seems to us singular, to say the least: January 25th Bowling Green Lodge, No. 121, reported that a member who claimed to have received the gift of the Holy Ghost desired a dimit and stated that he could not endorse Masonry on account of imperfections of other brothers, and requested me to advise them whether a dimit should be granted. I ruled that if the brother's only excuse was that he thought other brothers were imperfect in their deportment that he would. be entitled to his dimit, if he desired it. But, on the other hand, if his objection was to Masonry itself, and he thought Masonry was not right, then he should not be granted a dimit, but charges should be preferred against him and he be given a trial for unmasonic conduct.

We find no further reference to this case and presume, therefore, that it went unchallenged. Doubtless our Florida brethren are right according to their "law and usage", but with us the party would simply be granted a dimit, "without privileges". We fail to see how one can be charged with "unmasonic conduct" because of "opinions" merely.

ANNUAL SESSION.

The One Hundred and Twenty-ninth 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., October 26, A. L. 5915, the Grand Lodge being opened in ample form on the Master's Degree, with prayer by Rev. C. D. Ogg, Grand Chaplain. The attendance was large and is detailed at length, occupying some thirty-five pages. THE ANNUAL ADDRESS

is an unusual document in that it is not only comprehensive in delineating every act and incident of the administration, but also presents bits of history and paragraphs of lofty sentiment, evidencing the great fund of information and reverent spirit of the Grand Master. We cannot refrain from giving a few paragraphs to our readers: My Beloved Brethren: One hundred and eighty-two years ago there landed upon Georgia soil a noble man, superb in knightly deeds and great in his love for humanity. He looked through eyes of faith to a time and a country where the strong would not and could not oppress the weak; where no human being could be wron-gfully enslaved and deprived of his natural rights and liberties; and where there would not and could not exist the sale or intemperate use of intoxicating drinks, the evil influence of which had brought thousands to untimely graves, wrecked happy homes, blighted the prospects of youth, plucked the rose from woman's cheek and set a seal of sorrow there, and debauched more of the human race than all other evil influences combined. Long before the illustrious Oglethorpe had reached the end of life's career, he saw his cherished dreams vanish as a shadow and continued not. Would that our noble founder could but witness the wonderful progress his own Georgia has made toward the realization of his dreams. Imperial Georgia, lifting aloft, higher than her mountain tops, that banner of white, proclaiming to the world her freedom from tyranny of intemperance, and answering in no uncertain tone

the prayers of Georgia's Motherhood that her offspring should not be debauched by tl}.e legalized sale of intoxicating liquors. Not only did the spirit of Freemasonry dwell in the heart of the founder of our State, but he, himself, was an ardent Mason. Many of the officers whom he had selected to assist him in the government of the Colony were Masons.

•

The little band of Masons that had gathered strength and influence for ferty years was almost destroyed by the storms of the Revolution. Their charters and records had been destroyed, their membership scattered, few as they were, yet never a band more undaunted and determined that the growth of Georgia and Masonry should be co-extensive. In 178·7, in the City of Savannah, there was organized by two Lodges the Grand Lodge of Georgia, F. & A. M., William Stephens, Grand Master.

• The Grand Master made many visitations, laid many cornerstones, either in person or by proxy, besides presiding at various other Masonic functions. On one. occasion he broke the record by laying three corner-stones in one day. Incidentally, it is the law of this Grand Lodge that the Grand Master shall visit every lodge in the Jurisdiction-"a manifest impossibility," as the Grand Master states. We suppose this is an archaic regulation, intended to operate when the lodges were few in number. NEW J,ODGES.

Nine lodges were constituted, and one which had been granted a charter returned the charter with the statement that they were not able to meet the financial needs of a lodge. Two dispensations were granted for new lodges, but one was held up by protest from a neighboring lodge.

DECISIONS.

There are a number of decisions and all seem to be in accordance with the law and usage of that Grand Lodge. One we especially approve, which is to the effect that the wife of any man is as sacred as the wife of a Master Mason and the penalty for violation of this fact as severe! Two charters were arrested, the facts in the Gase justifying this course.

THE ILLUSTRIOUS DEAD.

Referring to those who have passed into the unseen the Grand Master says, in part: Death, to me is not the terrible monster it is so often painted. Death is as much a natural law as living. The Masonic ritual throughout portrays in no uncertain symbolry the necessity of its existence. The three lights that constantly burn about our altar, two of which represent day and night, life and death and, by joining these in "the legs of a right angle triangle we have the hypotenuse of immortality clearly proclaimed. Why mourn for the dead? Let us rather learn from their state a lesson of usefulness. Tho::;e cold lips are silent and answer not our pleadings, those ears are deaf to our entreaties, and, though our praises be garlanded with flowers of the richest hue, within that pulseless breast there is aroused no kindred emotions. Let us rather learn that important lesson,' "the one garland for a living brow is worth a mountain of flowers on a funeral casket." It is but a passing away-a change of state.

THI'; MASONIC HOME.

The Masonic Home is found to be altogether inadequate to the demands and a commission is appointed to change and enlarge the scope of the work. This is the experience of many Grand Lodges as to the Home. The demand for maintenance grows, generally out of all proportion "to the growth of the fraternity; "it feeds upon itself." FORI<~IGN

Master for the current year and the Grand Secretary, also. The former wears a smile that seems perennial and may be partly super. induced by the fact that his hair gives him little trouble when he is late for breakfast. The Grand Secretary evidently sustains unhappy relations with his barber and so his face is only seen in part. Nothing unusual marked the opening ceremonies. of the Grand Lodge, which convened for THE :FORTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

on September 14th, 1915, in Masonic Hall in Boise, at 10 a. m. Forty lodges were represented. Six of the Grand Officers were absent and their places were filled by appointment. . GRAND MASTER'S ADDR~SS.

From the opening paragraphs of this we select the following worthy sentiments: vVe corne together, as Master Masons, to review the work of the past year, and it is a source of congratulation that so many of the brethren are permitted to be with us today in this our beautiful Capital City to take counsel together for our beloved fraternity, and we thank God Almighty for this high privilege. We have every reason to be thankful to Him for the many favors and blessings He in His goodness has granted us, and we ought to endeavor to be good men and true, and always practice those cardinal virtues, Temperance, Fortitude, Prudence and Justice, as evidence of our sincerity.

ÂťThe usual formal report is made as to those craftsmen who have been called to everlasting refreshment during the year. The list is a long one. The Grand Master reports the constituting of three new lodges, the charters having been granted by the last Grand Lodge. Also he reports various dispensations and visitations. A number of decisions are reported, to none of which we see objection unless it be that an Entered Apprentice cannot be estopped from further degrees without charges and conviction. We are not clear on this point as it is stated. It being the law of this Grand Lodge that t.he Proceedings must be read in every lodge within three months after they are received and several having. been fined five dollars fOr delinquency, the Grand Master recommends that the time be extended to six months and past fines be remitted.

CHARITY.

This Grand Lodge has no Masonic Home, but has an Orphan Fund of some seventy-six thousand dollars, the income from which is loaned or given by the committee to such indigent Masons' widows and orphans as a;re presented for help by the several lodges.

and preside over our deliberations. Consider, we beseech Thee, the needs of the great Fraternity we represent in every avenue of its usefulness, and let wisdom and brotherly love mark our debate and legislation. Direct, we pray Thee, our Most Worshipful Grand Master that he may rule with justice and equity, and that he may have a right judgment in all things. Ever be with us and those we love, and let us add our prayer to the myriad supplications daily offered unto Thee, that the dark and bloody wars in other countries be ere long dispelled by the glorious morn of an everlasting peace. Amen.

In connection with the opening ceremonies some delightful music was rendered by a talented quartette, who received a vote of thanks. ANNUAL ADDRESS.

The address of the Grand Master is a business document throughout, inclining to sentiment only in a few instances, but rendering a faithful account of the acts and incidents of and in connection with the administration. We give a few extracts: There can be no doubt that the universal sentiment of the fraternity is expressed in a desire for thc cessation of hostilities and in the hope that the day is not far distant when some Supreme Tribunal shall be empowered to settle all interhational disputes and the suffering and bloodshed incident to war shall be no more. Meanwhile the Fraternity should, to the extent of its ability, extend material aid to those in most need of help as a result of the greatest conflict at arms that the world has ever seen. I am pleased to report that our inter-jurisdictional relations remain most cordial and harmonious. '\Thile a ripple of dissatisfaction has now and then appeared on the usually placid surface of diplomatic intercourse, yet in each case a spirit of compromise has prevailed which resulted in the amicable adjustment of all controversies.

"IN' MEMORIAM."

It is customary to eulogize the dead, and when those go hence whom the world calls great and noble, tall and majestic columns are reared to perpetuate their memories, and their deeds are emblazoned in striking and impressive characters. But there are, from time to .time, falling around us, like ripe fruit, individuals, comparatively littlc known beyond the immediate circles in which they moved, whose lives are worthy of all imitation and the recollection of whose virtues should endure when monumental marble crumbles into dust. To these the Committee on Obituaries will pay further tribute.

LODGES CONSTITUTED AND CRI';ATlm.

Thirteen lodges having been chartered by the last Grand Lodge were constitu'ted in due form and, after careful investigation by a

1916.]

Appendix.

committee appointed for that purpose, the Grand Master granted dispensations for the creation of twelve new lodges. DEDICATIONS AND CORNER-STOKES.

Six ceremonial dedications are recorded during the year, five by proxy, and one by the Grand Master in person,. and, also, Six corner-stones were laid with Masonic ceremonies, five by the Grand Master and one by a duly appointed proxy. SPECIAL DISPENSATIOKS.

The Grand Master reports an unusually large number of special dispensations, referring to the Grand Secretary's report for details not included in the address. Ivrariy of these were on account of difficulties arising from the so-called "Moon" lodges not holding their election at the time specified in their by-laws, as the full moon did not correspond with the time. The Grand Master suggested for the country lodges a change in their by-laws to meet the difficulty which he thought would obviate the same and prove satisfactory to all. MISCELLANEOUS.

The Grand Master reports a number of lodges destroyed by fire during the year, ne~essitating the granting of duplicate .charters. One was. reported as so faded as to be illegible, and another ~s having been destroyed by mice. For each of these a fee of five dollars was charged; while the others were granted without a fee. Grand Lecturers were commissioned for the various districts and appointments were made to fill various vacancies. Also a number of Grand Representatives were appointed to other Grand Lodges ,to fill vacancies caused by death. m;CISIONS.

As is very generally the case, many questions were asked and answered by reference to existing laws, and many so ridiculous as to merit no attention. Only one decision is reported, to the effect that a Masonic club might be organized, adjacent to the lodge room, for social purpo;ses, with the provision that it must not be opened on Sunday, except as a reading room. . Many appointments and a large number of visitations, c~n~足 lllQnia) and otherwise, are reported,

CEREMONIAL MUSIC.

The Grand Master alluded to the fact that two years ago a committee was appointed to compile and arrange a collection or volume of music suitable for use by the fraternity in its various functions and ceremonials, and stated that the book is now ready for distribution. He further stated that he had been approached by other Grand Jurisdictions in reference to the purchase and use of the volume, and that one had asked for a quotation on a thousand volumes. The idea seems to us to be a good one and we trust that it may be fully developed and have suitable recognition in the fraternity.

AN INTERESTING INCIDENT.

The Grand Master reports the dedication of the Royal Arch Memorial Hospital, erected on the grounds of the Masonic Home at Sullivan, which took place on Monday, July 5, 1915, as an occasion of very great interest, being attended by multitudes, many coming from distant parts of the State. In this connection we may.state that Illinois has two Masonic Homes, one for the aged and one for chlldren, both of which seem to be well administered and most successful. FINANCIAL.

This is one of our most wealthy as well as most populous Grand Lodges and the financial condition is excellent.路 .

FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE.

The report on Foreign Correspondence covers two hundred pages and is from the worthy pen of M. W. Bro. Owen Scott. He graciously accords to Missouri five and a half pages in a most kindly spirit. He compliments the Correspondent with a quotation and a strong endorsement, but we much regret that he takes our little jest with reference to the size of the Illinois Proceedings as a "needless reflection". Certainly our remark was pure pleasantry, and with no idea of its being considered an unkind reflection. We trust our good brother will accept this assurance, and will re-read the last half of the paragraph to which he objects. Needless to say, the report on correspondence is an excellent one. The writer could do no less.

This is a worthy document, occupying some 19 pages, in a careful statement of the more prominent acts and incidents of the administration. We give a paragraph from the exordium:

•

I am pleased to report a most gratifying condition of the Craft in general throughout the State. Peace and har.mony prevail in every lodge almost without exception. The' Ritualistic work has been greatly improved, and lodge officers are more alert to the possibilities of lodge usefulness and growth. The Masonic spirit, which moves us all to greater deeds and grander achievements, has generally obtained. We have progressed in numbers and power. We have gained in our scope of possibilities. Onward and upward has been the steady tread of the Craft. With a feeling of pride I note the steps of. advance and the char'acter of our improvement and with no apology or reluctance, but with joy and exultation, will turn over . the responsibilities of my office to my worthy successor. I fully expect the same proportionate progress, and I sincerely trust still more will be made under his wise guidance and counsel.

Appendix.

In the front page of this report will be found a portrait of Right Worshipful Brother W. J. Chetwode Crawley, LL,D., Grand Treasurer. For upwards of forty years he has been a prominent figure in Irish Freemasonry, and has taken a leading part in the preservation of all matters of literary and historic interest affecting the Craft. His fame as a Masonic writer is not confined to this country, but is known over the whole Masonic world and reflects honor on the Grand Lodge of Ireland. During the present year he was elected a life member of the Masonic Research Society of the United States, "for having voluntarily endowed Masonic students of the world with the results of his ardent researches and philosophy of Masonry." His chief work on the early history of Irish Masonry was published in two volumes twenty years ago. STATED COMMUNICATION.

A Stated Communication of the Grand Lodge was held in Dublin on St. John's Day, December 27th, 19] 5. The Deputy Grand Master, Sir Charles A. Cameron, presided in the 'absence of the Grand Master, who was detained by illness. His letter of greeting and explanation was read by the Deputy Grand Secretary. The Deputy Grand Master in his report comments at length upon the great war and refers in warm terms to Lord Roberts, who was a Past Master of one of the Dublin lodges. He urges special consideration should be given to those Masons now in active service, insisting that they should not lose rank or advancement on account of absence. He states that out of his lodge fifty-four have gone into the service. REPORT OF GRAND

SECR1~TARY.

Beginning with a compliment to Sir Charles A. Cameron he refers to his 85th birthday and his having been for fifty-six years a member of the Order in Ireland, fifty of which were spent as Secretary of Lodge No. 25. He expresses warm sympathy for the death of his son, Lieutenant Cameron, who was also a worthy member of the Order. NEW LODGES.

Of these the Deputy Grand Secretary speaks as follows: Six new Lodges were founded during the year, two attached to Military Co'rps, No. 415, to the Seventh Battalion of the Royal Iritih Fusiliers, and No. 420 to the Sixteenth Battalion of the Royal Irish Rifles. The former suffered a serious setback in consequence of its principal promoter, Captain Longworth, being sent abroad to t.he Eastern front, but both Lodges were duly dedicated and are carrying , out their appointed work. The latter (No. 420) is with the regiment in France, and a letter has' just been received from the Secretary,

An application was received from St. Louis, Missouri, U. S. A., from a Brother R. W. Waters for a duplicate certificate, the original having been destroyed by fire. Brother Waters was initiated in Lodge No.3, Cork, so far back as 1859, and after an adventurous life in the United States finds himself at the age of 85 still a subscribing and interested member of the Craft. A recommendation from the Board of General Purposes to the effect that all dues and fees of members on active service should be remitted, and that all engaged in war service should be exempt from tho duty of atte1iding lodge was adopted by the Grand Lodge. No abstract of statistics is given, though we think tho number of lodges suggested is approximately correct. The number of members given with our heading may be wide of the mark.

Bring the whole world to a better knowledge and practice of these cardinal virtues, that war and commotion may cease to distress humanity and devastate the earth, and that peace and brotherly love may be restored to all nations. Grant a full-measured blessing of health and strength to our Grand Master for all the arduous labors of today and tomorrow, and for all his days and his labors. Sustain by Thy life-giving power all the officers in their respective stations. ,We gratefully thank Thee for all Thy mercies of the past year; its bounty, its peace in all our land, its increase in our ranks and its beneficenc'e in our lives. Make these days to be remembered for comradeship, inspiration and new visions. Our Father, we beseech Thee to bless us one and all and enable us to make our great Masonic Order and its Masonic Home more worthy of Thy love and blessing in all the years to come on earth. Amen.

'The total representation in the Grand Lodge was 806, 343 lodges being represented. ANNUAL ADDRESS.

The address of the Grand Master is so full of interest that we take the liberty of copying several paragraphs:

•

With the growth and development of the State, Masonry in Kansas has also grown and developed. Sixty years ago the representatives of three small Lodges, having a membership of only a few score men, formed this Grand Lodge. Today it consists of the representatives of 411' Lodges, having a membership of over forty-four thousand men, and is one, of the great Grand Lodges of the cO,untry, there, being only twelve other States in the Union that have a Masonic membership of over 40,000, and of these thirteen States Kansas has, in proportion to its population, the largest percentage of membership. In fact, Kansas leads every State in the country in the percentage of its Masonic population except the States of Maine and Vermont, although the number of Masons in these States is less than the number in Kansas. On December 31, 1914, the menibership or the Craft in this Grand Jurisdiction was 42,412. Our membership on December 31, 1915, was 44,062, being a net increase during the year of 1,650 members.

•

Masonry was planted in Kansas in 1854, but this Grand Lodge was organized at Leavenworth on March 17, 1856, having at that time three lodges working under charters granted by the Grand Lodge of Missouri: Kansas Lodge (afterwards named W'yandotte Lodge); Smithton Lodge and Leavenworth Lodge. There were at the time two other Lodges working under dispensation, namely; Kickapoo Lodge and Lawrence Lodge. On July 14, 1856, charters were issued to these two Lodges, and also to Washington Lodge, at Atchison. From that small beginning on March 17th, nearly sixty years ago, when but a handful of Masons organized this Grand Lodge, what

a mighty change the years have wrought! What momentous events, both national and state, have tal{en place! The past sixty years have been in many respects the most important years in the history of the wol"ld, certainly in the history of our own country. IN MEMORIAM.

The Grand Master refers tenderly and at length to several distinguished brethren of that jurisdiction who have passed into the unseen. He reports that relations with other Grand .Jurisdictions are most harmonious, but calls attention to several complications which have arisen in two or three cases with reference to assistance rendered to needy brethren. LODGES CO:,\STITUTED AKD ClmATED.

The last Annual Communication having granted Charters to five lodges, they were regularly consecrated, dedicated and constituted by Special Deputy Grand Masters. One lodge was created during the year at Wilmore, Comanche County. The Grand Master laid four corner-stones in person during the year and granted dispensations in five other cases. Two Masonic Halls were dedicated, one by the Grand Master in person. AS USUAL.

The Grand Master referred at some length to the Washington Memorial AssociatiDn, giving its location, purpose and plan, and states' that the matter has assumed \vide National proportions, and that forty-three Grand Lodges are on its membership roll, besides the Supreme Council of the Scottish Rite, the Grand Council of Royal and Select Masters, and several Grand Chapters, Grand Councils and Grand Commanderies. He suggests that the Grand Lodge should take some action showing its interest in the matter. The Grand Master refers to the Acacia Fraternity, an institution made up of student Masons in various colleges, in terms of strong commendation. DISPENSATIONS.

Ninety-four .special dispensations were granted during the year, although the Grand Master insists that a more conservative attitude on this subject should be taken by the Grand Lodges. He states that where permission was granted. to confer degrees without refer-

ence to the time limit the statutory fee was charged and $270.00 received. We sympathize 'with the position of the Grand Master, as we have often stated heretofore, and believe that the fewest possible number of special dispensations should be granted, with or without a fee. THE MASONIC HOME.

From this portion of the address we quote: The members now on the roll of the Horne family number 99, consisting of 29 men, 20 women, 30 boys and 20 girls. During the past year there have been 20 admissions to the Horne. Six members have died and 11 having attained majority have been discharged by order of the Board. The net increase of Horne members for the year is 3. The Horne has, had many :visitors during the past year. It should be remembered that visitors are always welcomed and that the Superintendent and Matron are always glad to show them through the Horne. We are justly proud of our Masonic Horne, and believe it will compare favorably with any other similar institution in the country. The total receipts of the Horne from all sources during the past year were $44,627.86. Of this amount $12,100 was received from payments on loans, more than four thousand dollars from interest on loans, and the sum of $21,181 was derived from the fifty cents per capita assessment upon our Masonic membership throughout the State. The sum of $2,696.05 was derived from the per capita of the Order of the Eastern Star.

The endowment fund of the Home was increased from $23,434.61 on January 1, 1915, to $27,089.01 on January 1, 1916.. The total for all Horne and administration expenses for the fiscal year was $17,326.03. In accordance with the practice of past years the Horne Board, by resolution of the Council of Administration, has also dispensed Grand Lodge relief to the amount of $1,159. Tli~ total number of persons now receiving such relief is eleven. '

The amount of our available assets are $33,704.81 against $27,718.85 a year ago; against $17,703.20 two years ago; and against $2,357.94 three years ago. There has been a gain of over five thousand dollars of the Home general fund invested in loans since January 1, 1915.

The Grand Master concludes as follows: And now may the richest favors of the Universal Father attend you, may wisdom direct your footsteps, and strength and beauty be descriptive of your lives. When labor at last is finished may you by means of the true words-My Father in Heaven, My Brother on .Earth -be admitted by the Grand Architect into The Lodge Invisible.

The Proceedings of the Grand Lodge of Kentucky are in fine form as is usual with this Jurisdiction, and are handsomely introduced by pictures of the present and passing Grand Masters, both of whom are eminently clear-headed in one respect at least-that is, they are eminently qualified to sit in the front row at the matinee. The past history and present position of each show them to 'be well qualified in intellect and character for the high position of Grand Master. ANNUAL COMMUNICATION.

The One Hundred and Fifteenth Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of Kentucky, Free and Accepted Masons, was held in the Masonic Temple, LouisviIle, Ky., commencing Tuesday, October 19, 1915, and was opened路 in ample form on the Master Mason's degree at 10 o'clock a. m., and after the usual preliminary matters were disposed of the Grand Lodge listened with pleasure to the . GRAND l\{ASTJ'~R'S ADDRESS.

A few selections will exhibit the worthy style of this Master of Assemblies : It would be wonderful if your Grand Master had been able to manage all the affairs of this Grand body during the entire year without making any mistakes or errors of judgment, and to the satisfaction of each of the more than forty thousand brethren in the State. You may rest assured, however, that he has at all times been

controlled by honesty of purpose and a great desire to promote the true principles of Freemasonry. The acts of some of the Craft have been a disappointment to him, in that he has been unable to accomplish for you some things which he so much desired to accomplish; on the other hand, some of his acts have doubtless been a disappointment to some of the Craft, so each can well afford to bear with each other. I trust, however; that, taken as a whole, the past year has resulted and will result in the future in much good to ,the Fraternity throughout, the entire State. I congratulate you that substantial peace and. harmony prevails throughout the entire jurisdiction, except, possibly, upon ~ne subject, concerning which there seems to be some division among the Craft. WASHINGTON MEl\{ORIAL ASSOCIATION.

The Grand Master as well as the Grand Lodge itself is strongly committed to the support of the institution above named. ,Referring to this the Grand Master says: This Grand Lodge, I am advised, owns one life membership in said Association, for which it paid $100. In add-ition to this, five Kentucky Lodges, two Chapters, one Commandery, two Consistories and twenty-seven Kentucky Masons have each taken a life memb~r足 ship, at the same price. Grand Lodges in other States hl'l.ve contributed largely to the enterprise out of their own treasuries. As to the Grand Lodge of Kentucky, I quote from the report made by our Committee on Finance last year (Proceedings, 1914, page 129), as follows: . "We heartily approve that part of the Grand Master's address which refers to 'the George Washington Memorial. We recommend, however, that in view of certain conditions which concern this Grand Lodge in connecUonwith the Masonic Temple and other matters, that n9 definite apprqpriation be made this year; but if the next Grand Lodge can see its way clear to do so, t,hat the sum of three thousand ($3,000) doilars be appropriated, the same to be payable one thousand ($1,000) dollarS 'a'year, beginning in 1915." , I think we should do at least as much as carr'y into full force and effect the recommendation made by the committee last year, and which was approved by the Grand Lodge., J, in fact, recommend that the amount be made $5,000, payable ~n five ,annual installments on February 1st of each year, beginning in 1916, .upon regular warrant.

, The Grand Master heartily endorses the Masonic War Relief As.sociation, which up to the middle of September, 1915, had collected over $65,000.00. Kentucky Masons and Masonic Bodies up to October of the same year paid $1,263.00. The Grand Master adds: '-. Your Grand Master does not feel that it is at all incumbent upon

[Sept.

him to advise as to when and how this horrible and unnecessary warfare shall be brought to an end. He realizes, however, that our great Fraternity can be of some service in administering to the relief of those who are now suffering and who will hereafter suffer from its continuance. I believe it is the duty of this Grand Lodge to contribute at least as much as $1,000 for this purpose, and that it should be sent through the Masonic War Relief Association of the United States of America, and I trust that our Finance Committee can see its way clear to so recommend.

The Grand Master reports many visitations, some of which were pleasant and complimentary, and states that it has required at least half of his time, and if he had accepted all the invitations extended the whole year would have been thus occupied. DISPENSATIONS AND PROXIES.

As usual in such cases many dispensations were issued-four for lodge dedications, eleven for laying corner-stones, and a large number for public installations, and for the" conferring of the E. A. Degree on more than five candidates at one time. NEW LODGES.

Dispensations were granted for the creation of three new lodges and for the removal of two. A number of requests for dispensations for various purposes were wisely refused. In fact, we are inclined to endorse every such refusal, as we believe that the majority of such requests arise from irregularity or carelessness on the part of the lodges. A CHARTER ARRESTED.

_ Late in the. year the Grand MasU:ir found it necessary to arrest the Charter of St. Andrews Lodge, No. 18, of Cynthiana, Ky. The history of this case is given in full by the Grand Master and in the report of the Special Committee. In brief, the cause of the disturbance seems to have been the proposition and purpose to discuss the merits of Freemasonry, or to debate its claims with the Knights of Columbus, a well-known Catholic institution, and this, in our Masonic Home Journal of Kentucky. This being forbidden by the Grand Master, in connection with other authorities seems to have incensed the Lodge of Cynthiana, who repudiated the conclusion of the Grand Master and published several pamphlets in support of their position. This case was finally decided by 'supporting the Grand Master in his act, and at the same time restoring the Charter

of the Cynthiana Lodge on condition of their submitting to the constituted authorities. THE

SIXTY-THOUSANJ)-J)OLLAI~

OFFERIKG.

The last Annual Communication having asked for a $60,000 freewill offering, the Grand Master states that 375 lodges have made no response whatever, and that about 90 lodges only have paid the full amount, while 130 hav.e paid in part. In his zeal to complete this offering the Grand Master thought it might be well to appeal to thqse lodges which had been most benefited by the Masonic Home, and the result of his investigation was most unsatisfactory and even humiliating. In brief, he found that those lodges which had the largest number of inmates in the Home and the greatest number of years of protection and support for their wards had in scarcely a single instance contributed to the free-will offering, while they had received in benefits at $130 per capita-the lowest amount ever had, many times the amount of their SUbscription and assessments for the support of this great institution. To illustrate, one lodge with 24 inmates, for 121 years in all, was found to have paid $1,658 and to have received $15,730.00 at the low rate of $130 per capita per annum. Another, with 22 inmates, or 145 years, having paid $2,'181.00, had received $18,850.00. Many others in well-nigh the same . proportion. We trust that this expose by the Grand Master may arOlise the pride or stimulate the liberality of those of our Kentucky brethren who have been deficient in this regard.

FINANCIAL.

The financial condition of this Grand Lodge seems to be good, both with reference to the General and the Benevolent Funds.

Cheesman, Grand Master, September 30, 1915, threw a sadness over the annual gathering of the Freemasons of Louisiana, although the efficient management and administration of the Deputy Grand Master was eminently satisfactory and insured his election as Grand Master had any doubt existed as to this. ANNUAL COl\IMUNICATION.

The One Hundred and Fifth Annual Grand Communication of the M. W. Grand Lodge, Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Louisiana convened in the City of New Orleans, at the Scottish Rite Cathedral, on Monday night, the 7th of February, 1916, at 7: 30 o'clock, and was opened in ample form by R. W. Brother R. B. Purser, Deputy and Acting Grand Master, following prayer by the W. Grand Chaplain, Rev. Herman Cope Duncan. The attenOdance was good. As usual with this and many other Grand Lodges, many pages are given to the recital of names and locations of all in attendance on the session-which is good-for the printer and the U. S. mail. THE A.NNUAL ADDRESS

is a business document, leaving out all sentiment or moralizing and devoting every page to a careful record of the acts and incidents of the administration. The Grand Master records the death of 237 members of the Order in Louisiana, one of whom was the lamented Grand Master and another, the Grand Secretary, Emeritus, M. W. Richard Lambert. He reports Relief Funds in good condition. He regrets that District Deputy Grand Masters so often, if not so generally, fail to make formal reports of their districts. lIe makes no suggestions or recommendations for legislative enactment, but recommends a plan proposed by the late Grand Master for the better dissemination of the work.

He refers the Washington 'Memorial Association to the Committee on Correspondence, which reported that some years ago the Grand Lodge paid $100 for membership in the Association, and asked to be discharged from further consideration of the matter. He reports various routine matters transacted in' the way of appointments, special dispensations, etc., none of which seem of more than local interest. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE.

This report is brief and informal. Missouri: is noticed in a half page, mostly quotations. The following criticism is appended: The National Grand L'odge of France was' reco'gnized. This is the first American Grand Lodge to recognize this Grand Lodge. In taking such action, they explicitly'declare the Masonry of France as represented by the Grand Orient, and the Gra.nd Lodge, irregular and illegal. But if this be so, how can two of the Lodges of the Grand Orient form a recognizable Grand Lodge, as was the case in the organization of the National Grand Lodge? Consistency seems to be lacking somewhere.,

The Grand Lodge of Maryland met in semi-annual communication May 11, 1915, with the usual ceremonies of opening. The musical numbers rendered during the ceremonies of opening and at other times form a pleasing interlude in the work of this Grand Lodge. The work consisted mostly in the reception of reports under which head we find that ninety-eight visitations had been made, by the Grand Inspectors during the last six months. Also, that the Board of Relief has been doing faithful work, and that the Grand Lecturer is encouraged with the result of the Lodges of Instruction held. The Committee on Unfinished Business reported various amend, ments to the Book of Constitutions, which were severally adopted,

Having been invited by the Mayor of Baltimore City, James H. Preston, the M. W.

CO~1:MUKICATION.

The M. W. Grand Lodge began its Annual Communication November 16, 1915, in the Masonic Temple at Baltimore with the usual ceremonies. Before taking路up the business of the Grand Lodge the Grand Master referred to the death of M. W. John M. Carter, and paid a strong tribute to his memory, after which the Grand Chaplain delivered a brief but most worthy eulogy upon the departed. A resolution "that the Grand Jurisdiction of Maryland shall have a Masonic Home * * * and that this M. W. Grand Lodge take the first steps for the accomplishment of this noble and worthy purpose," was unanimously rejected. Over against this drastic action the Grand Lodge donated $500.00 to the United Patriotic Home for Orphans and Homeless Children in the City of Baltimore. The finances of this Grand Lodge seem to be in excellent condition. FRATERNAL CORRESPO:\,DENCE.

Hamilton, who from his counterfeit presentment we would unhesitatingly accept as a genial gentleman of high order of thought and action. Following in some sort the custom of foreign and provincial Grand Lodges, the business of this Grand Lodge is divided through the year and transacted in Special and Quarterly Communications. During the year 1915 there were ten Special and four Quarterly Communications. Most of the former were ceremonial, and for the purpose of constituting lodges, laying corner-stones, etc. QUARTERLY COMMUNICATION.

The first Quarterly Communication for the year was held as usual in the Masonic Temple in Boston, and on Wednesday, March 10th, the Grand Lodge was opened in ample form at 2 p. m., with prayer by the Grand Chaplain. GRAND l\:I:ASTER'S ADDRESS.

This was quite brief and altogether technical, the Gr'and Master dealing in no, sentiment, and presenting only matters of business importanc;e. We give an extract that wil,l be read with some interest. COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE.

Nearly every jurisdiction in this country as well as most of those abroad has a Committee on Correspondence. This committee annually reviews the Proceedings of other Grand Lodges, printing the same in connection with the Proceedings of the home Grand Lodge for the current year, thereby giving the brethren of each jurisdiction an opportunity to become informed as to the Proceedings in all other jurisdictions. Massachusetts never has had such a committee and many criticisms have been aimed at us on that account. Indeed, a few Committees on Correspondence have been childish enough to say

Appendix.

[Sept.

that they would no longer review the Proceedings of Massachusetts inasmuch as Massachusetts did not review the Proce'edings of their jurisdictions. In other words, that they would deprive the brethren in their own jurisdiction of information concerning Massachusetts, though supplying it as to the rest of the Masonic world, simply because Massachusetts does not have the custom of printing a report from a Committee on Correspondence. This matter is somewhat akin to those already referred to the committee, and I am asking the same committee to consider this whole subject, reviewing the situation and advising the Grand Lodge whether in its opinion we should adopt the custom common to路 almost all other Grand Lodges, or whether we should proceed as we have heretofore in this connection.

Touching this matter of Fraternal Correspondence the Committee duly appointed made a most exhaustive report, discussing the subject of F'raternal Correspondence in many pages and from several stangpoints, in a general way setting themselves apart and objecting to the criticisms which from time to time have been bestowed on the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts for its refusal to fall in with the general plan of Fraternal Correspondence. , So 'far as we are informed our Grand Lodge has in sense and at no time objected to this peculhtrity of the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts, and. we freely accord to that jurisdiction the right to exercise its sovereignty ~.n thi~ regard, as it is a matter of absolute indifference to us. The Proceedings of the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts constitute a bulky and dignified volume containing .over 600 pages and is filled with matters of interest to the Craft in that Jurisdiction. A good deal of space is occupied with the proceedings 'at the Grand Feast which closed the labors of the ' year in that JuriSdiction. 路;A.mong the' addres~es delivered oil: that occasion we note ohe from Rev. H. Stiles Bradley, which, as might be expected, is, of high order. As already indicated, there is no report on correspondence, so that we cannot possibly tell 'what is thought of the rest of the fra"ternity' the world over- or-whether, indeed, the fraternity at large is ;ever a 'matter of- serious contemplation. So mote it be!

The Sixty,third Annual Communication of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of Minnesota was held in the Masonic Templ~, Sixth street and Smith avenue, in the City of St. Paul, commencing at high twelve on Wednesday, January 19, A. D. 1916, A.L. 5916. The Grand Secretary announced the presence of 233 lodges by their representatives, besides whom a large number of visitors and prominent members were present.

The address of the Grand Master is brief, covering only some tw.enty pages, and is essentially a business document, although here and there we have glimpses of a lofty sensibility which adds to the value of the address. We append an extract: Grateful to Almighty God for the favors which He has bestowed upon us and for the blessings which He has caus'ed to rest upon our labors, I rejoice that at this sixty-third annual communication I am able to congratulate you, not only upon the wise and conservative counsels which have hitherto guided your efforts in the cause of Masonry, but also upon the deservedly high position which this Grand Lodge has attained in the Masonic World, and upon the fact .that while Europe. is now engaged in the most terrible struggle in the history of civilization, we, as a nation, are at peace with the whole

"Man that is born of woman is of few days and full of trouble. He cometh forth as a flower and is cut down." Grieved by the sense of loss and bereavement, it is proper that we pause, be.fore entering upon our regular routine of business, and pay a tribute of love and respect to those who have passed from our midst and entered the Celestial Lodge above. Thankful to our Heavenly Father that our present official line of Grand Lodge officers have been mercifully spared us, yet we grieve that we have been called to mourn the loss of two of our Past Grand Officers and 383 worthy brothers in this Grand Jurisdiction.

The Grand Master reports that three lodges duly chartered at the last Grand Communication have been constituted, and that the occasions were accompanied with pleasant social features~ He reports the several U. D. lodges as making worthy progress. He reports the laying of corner-stones, dedication of halls and other functions, besides many official visitations. He reports many dispensations refused, among them one to a lodge to attend church in regalia, which 1atter we cordially approve, and no doubt the other refusals were equally wise. Many other requests were granted, as is usually the case with every Grand Jurisdiction. And we may: be permitted to remark that there are altogether too many calls for dispensations, and if they were more difficult to secure we imagine the lodges would be far more methodical in their management. Of course, there are emergencies that require consideration, but in many cases this is not to be claimed. DECISIONS.

Only two decisions are reported, both of which are certainly in accord with law and Masonic usage. MASONIC HOME.

Touching the question of erecting a Masonic Home, the Grand Master speaks in no uncertain tone: The question no longer remains as to the necessity or the advisability of building a Masonic Home. The Grand Lodge has unqualifiedly endorsed it as a laudable undertaking; it caused the incorporation of the necessary business organization. It did by resolution two years ago suggest that a' more active campaign be carried

on for raising funds, and recommended it to the various Lodges and individual Masons as a worthy project. I earnestly and fraternally commend this great Masonic Chari ty to the brethren throughout this Grand Jurisdiction and sincerely urge them to do something to bring about an early realization of our hopes. The time has arrived, in my opinion, when we should without further delay raise the balance of the $100,000 required before operations can be commenced. There are various ways of raising this money, which have been explained to us by the trustees, but it seems to me proper that the 30,000 Masons in this State should each give something, no matter how small, toward this great project of providing a suitable home for those who need our care and assistance. I understand that it is the intention of the Board of Directors of the Home to make a strenuous effort to raise a sufficient sum, during the present year, to increase the fund to the amount required by the Grand Lodge before the Home can be erected. I earnestly urge the brethren to give all necessary assistance to accomplish this result.

Four lodges were created during the year and two were continued under dispensation. FINANCIAL.

Appendix. NINETY-EIGHTH AKKUAL GRAND CO:\nvIU:'<ICATIO".

The Ninety-eighth Ann'ual Grand Communication of the Grand Lodge of Mississippi, Free and Accepted Masons, was held in the City of Greenville on Tuesday, February 15th, A. L. 5916, A. D. 1916, and the proceedings were inaugurated with a public reception,' which included a fine musical program, followed by the usual addresses of welcome from representatives of the city, the fraternity and the Eastern Star. At 11 o'clock the Grand Secretary called the roll of the Grand Officers and Committees and announced that there was a constitutional quorum of representatives of lodges present,: and the Grand Lodge was opened in ample form in the Master Mason's Degree by the Most Worshipful, the Grand Master, assisted by the Grand Officers in their several stations and places, the Grand Chaplain invoking the Divine Blessing. After the usual formalities the Grand Master presented his ANNUAL ADDRESS.

From this we select several paragraphs to illustrate the sentiment contained and the general style of the Grand Master. But there is within the heart of every man that God-given principle which leads towards the recognition of an ideal man,who foro; gets self and "seeks his own in another's good," and the nearer an individual or a collection of individuals approaches this ideal, the more does he or it command and deserve the admiration of the world. Measured by this standard of unselfishness, and disinterested helpfulness, there is no other organized body in the civilized world that is more entitled to the respect and admiration of men than the great body of Freem~sonry which you, my brethren, represent today. Having existed from time immemorial, this noble institution now stands and has always stood for the noblest and the best in human nature-for the alleviation of human suffering, the surcease of human sorrow, the enhancement of human joys and the betterment of mankind.

•

Freemasonry, my brethren, ever voices that higher call, points ever to that slowly rising sun of human brotherhood, and directs mankind towards that way leading to the highlands of the morning, where are heard the glad shouts of humanity. Realizing, then, the nobility of our ideals and the purity of our purposes, let us with commendable pride, but with humility, and re"liance upon the Great Architect of the Universe for guidance, enter upon the duties of this Grand Convocation.

After the usual reference to the distinguished dead, the Grand Master announces

The Grand Master arrested the Charter of Maben Lodge, No. 224, it having been shown to be ina most unsatisfactory condition, with little hope of amending its attitude or of being reorganized at any time in the near future. The Grand Master made no decisions during the year, answering many questions by a mere reference to existing laws, and where new questions were presented, referring them to the Law Committee. The Grand Master laid four corner-stones in person during the year. The Grand Master refers to the Masonic Home and its management in high terms. Dispensations were granted and refused in accordance with the usual experience of Grand Masters. He refers to the financial condition of the Grand Lodge as being. an embarrassed one, and suggests that the Finance Committee formulate and present t.o the Grand Lodge a plan by which this disability may be removed.

FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE.

This is from the worthy pen of our good brother Harry Howard and covers 132 pages. He thus introduces the report: Brethren: There may be some who read these pages for the information to be found therein, others for the pleasure of knowing what is being done in Masonry. To all seekers I sincerely wisl1 that they may find themselves satisfied. He is kind to Missouri and quotes a lengthy paragraph from the Correspondent. He concludes with a page of reflections from which we select several: The subjects under most discussion appear to be four: 1st. The Masonic Home. This subject has been long debated in many Grand Lodges and has finally been settled by the majority not having Homes, adopting the English plan.

(This is certainly a mistake, so far as American Grand Lodges are concerned. The majority now have Homes and several are arranging to create them.) From a careful study speaking Grand Lodges for clusion-concurred in by a that a Masonic Home is by Masonic relief.

The Fifty-first Annual Communication of the Grand- Lodge of Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons of Montana was held in the new Masonic Temple in the City of Great Falls, commencing at 9 a. m. on wednesday, September 15, 1915. The Grand Secretary reported that all lodges had made路 returns and that a 路majority were represented, after which the Grand Lodge was opened with the usual ceremonies, prayer being offered by Rev.'

ject of temperance the Grand Master is emphatic. to what is ~eally a scandal in Masonry:

[Sept. We quote him as

There is considerable feeling throughout the United states, in Masonic circles, against Masonic Lodges being held in buildings where liquor saloons are being conducted, and many Grand Jurisdictions are legislating against this. From Chicago comes to us a photograph of the sign of a saloonkeeper of that city located in the Masonic Temple, which consists of the following:

"MASONIC TEMPLE BUFFET BROOK HILL WHISKIES." While it is true that the sale of liquor is authorized by law and saloons are recognized as lawful institutions, yet it seems to me that they should be widely separated from Masonry, as the influence of the two institutions are widely at variance, and I recommend that the Grand Lodge at this communication adopt a resolution or by-law prohibiting our lodges from meeting in any building that is being used in part for saloon purposes.'

He also recommends that smoking should be forbidden in lodge rooms while at labor. The Grand Lodge endorsed this last statement, but strangely refused to endorse the first! The Grand Lodge of Montana kindly waives jurisdiction over a rejected candidate after he has resided "five years" in another Grand Jurisdiction. Just so! Why not make it perpetual?

The Grand Lodge of the Most Ancient and Honorable Fraternity of Free and Accepted Masons of Nebraska met in annual communication in Freemasons Hall, Omaha, on Tuesday, June 8th, A. L. 5915, A. D. 1915, at 10 o'clock a. m., there being present, besides the Grand Officers, the representatives of 260 chartered lodges. The Grand Lodge was opened in due form with the usual ceremonies. Greetings were received and exchanged, from· and with, several Grand Lodges, and two or three Grand Representatives presented greetings from the Jurisdictions by which they were appointed. GRAND MASTl<;R'S ADDRESS.

This was unllsual~y interesting, .evidencing in its spirit and s~yle a conscientious as well as an intellectual spirit. We present an extract: Brethren of the Grand Lodge: Agreeable to our law, we are met here today in our fifty-eighth annual communication. When we revert to the beginning of this Grand Jurisdiction, peruse its first proceedings, and note its small beginning of only nine brethren, and then view this large assemblage here today. we are amazed at its gigantic growth, in subordinate lodges, in membership, and accumulation of money and properties. I fear the solid foundations laid by the original fathers and their Immediate successors are not appreciated by us' of .today as they deserve. To view the large army of over 22,000 members should swell with pride every heart present, and cause us to hold in high esteem, love and veneration those early pioneers in the deep-laid and lasting foundations of this Grand Jurisdiction.

•

The making of Masons today should be the making of men, Godfearing men, manly men, and honorable men, who will practice the tenets of Masonry as set forth in our constitutions. A true Mason is he who sets forth with faith in God to battle for the weak and oppressed, and upholds the banner of universal Brotherhood of Man.

Appendix.

[Sept.

If all men were good and true, there would be no wars, men would love one another a'nd not murder their brethren, and no King or Emperor could force his subjects into war. If Masonry were strong enough to carry this, great object into practice, we would realize a world-wide brotherhood, united for mutual help. Were this true now, we would not hear reports of carnage and bloodshed, of cruelty and devastation, of death and spoliation, of rights violated and prostituted to fulfill the desire of selfish lust for greed and gain.

The past year has been one of unexcelled prosperity. We have been blessed with abundance of material things, for which we should earnestly give thinks. While other parts of the world are in the throes of a gigantic war, our nation is at peace. Can we say that the nearly two millions of Masons under our flag, teaching and preaching honesty, equity, brotherly love, and withal the Golden Rule, have naught to do with our peaceful relations? It may be that refining fires are kindled because of the violations of the precepts taught in that "Great Light". Ou't of this cauldron I have no doubt God will raise a higher standard of brotherhood, and believe He will lead in such a way that when the strife shall end right shall conquer and wars shall cease.

â&#x20AC;˘

The Grand Master makes the usual reference to the fraternal dead and calls attention to the different rulings of other Grand Lodges and the necessity of great care in relation to receiving and extending courtesies in the way of conferring degrees. He refers in approving terms to the Grand Peace Festival at Niagara Falls in July, 1914, and also commends the Washington Memorial Association.Touching the War Relief Association, he commends its purpose most cordially, and reports nearly $8,000.00 as having been contributed from the jurisdiction. MASONIC HOME.

Referring to the action of the Grand Lodge at its last session in the appropriation of ~10,000 for the purchase of land, preparatory to building a home for masonic orphans, the Grand Master reports the purchase of forty acres near the City of Freemont, and a gift from the brethren of Freemont Lodge of $10,000.00-thus equaling the contribution of the Grand Lodge.

FORTY-I':IGHTH ANN1;AL COMMUNICATION.

The. Forty-Eighth Annual Communication of "The Grand Lodge of the Ancient and Honourable Fraternity of Free and Accepted Masons of New Brunswick" was held at Freemasons Hall, Germain street, in the City of St. John, on Tuesday, the 6th day of April, A. D. 1915, A. L. 5915, and after tae usual ceremonies of opening the Grand Master presented his ANNUAL ADDRESS.

This is brief, covering only some 15 pages, ·but is a worthy attempt to give a resume of the work and experiences of the year. We quotf:J from the opening paragraph: It is now nearly half a, century since our founders, who were good and true Masons, who were men who filled a large place in the public affairs of New Brunswick, laid broad and deep the foundations of Grand Lodge, and the growth of our Order has been in a measure, we trust, commensurate with their hopes and desires. .

"The catastrophe incalculable," the greatest war in the world's

[Sept.

history to which our Grand Master, last year, alluded in most fitting terms, still is being waged with unabated fury. Freemasonry has ever flourished in times of peace. Masonry has always deplored the miseries and suffering which are the inevitable consequence of war, but we must feel, today, that wishes for peace are inopportune and useless, and not until the principles of truth and justice and liberty have finally triumphed and prevailed can we hope for peace that will be permanent and lasting.

He .deplores the untimely death of Field Marshal Roberts.

MASONIC TEMPLE.

He states that in the completion of this building a long desired consummation has been attained, and the Grand Lodge now possesses a valuable property which will no doubt in future years become a source of greater financial strength, and that its increasing revenues will be a substantial aid to masonic charity. He states that the reports of the Grand Treasurer and Grand Secretary are gratifying and encouraging. Also," that the finances of the Grand Lodge are in excellent condition and the membership increasing. In the year 1900 there were only 1,885 active Masons in the Jurisdiction, and there are now nearly 3,700. He reports some 20 dispensations, the most of which were for the purpose of conferring degrees out of time. He thus concludes his report: But if the Supreme Architect of the Universe dec;ees that this awful war shall continue until the wrongs of suffering, down-trodden Belgium shall have been measurably righted, until the forces of the enemy shall have been driven from the fields of fair France and her dism"embered Empire wholly restored, until the ancient rights and liberties and language have been given back to poor Poland, and until the clang of armor and sword of Prussian militarism be no more heard in Europe, naught shall we say, but as was said of old, "Just and righteous are Thou altogether in Thy works, 0 Lord."

There is no .report on Fraternal Correspondence.

Several present路 and Past 路Grand Officers being absent, the Grand Secretary was instructed to forward telegrams expressing regret-an unsual but worthy courtesy. Some twenty pages are occupied with list of members, etc. GRAND MASTER'S ADDRESS.

Most Worshipful Brother Edward M. Searing, Grand Master, delivered his annual address, as follows: Brethren: Again we have assembled in Annual Session to deliberate over matters of interest to the Craft and to enact such legislation as will be for our welfare in the future. And in welcoming you to this One Hundred and Twenty-ninth Annual Communication it is with a feeling of fraternal love and friendship, and with devout thankfulness to our Heavenly Father for the privilege of strengthening the common ties which unite us, not only as brothers, but as a Grand Lodge, having one aim, the good of Masonry, which shall only end in the fruition of our immortal life. It seems but a fortnight since I assumed this honorable station, and yet the twelve months which have passed are full of history for our great Nation. Many events have occurred which have claimed our attention, and our hearts have been wrung with grief over the destruction being wrought among our friends and brothers in Europe.

[Sept.

There has been a substantial gain in membership, numbering 1,688, making a grand total of 42,257 members. The report of the Grand Treasurer shows that our finances are in a very satisfactory condition, and peace and harmony prevail throughout the Jurisdiction.

The usual reference to Necrology follows, also a report as to the constituting lodges chartered by the last Grand Lodge. For list of dispensations for Masonic purposes he refers to report of Grand Secretary. He created two new lodges during the year. He reports no decisions, stating that all questions propounded to him were amply answered by existing laws. He reports many official visitations.

THE OLD FRAUD•.

He· reports that the old, old "chain-letter" fraud-for the building of the McKinley monument which was finished some seven years ago, was found to be yet alive and active in New Jersey, and that he promptly issued a circular warning the brethren against it.

MA;SONIC HOME.

The per capita tax for the Masonic Home is thirty cents-for charity, ~ve cents. The Masonic Home famHyaveraged ninety (90) during the year and the cost of maintenance was some $258.00 (nearly). A farm is included in the management of the Home and. is reported as being a success. The products are reported at $3,556.25, all used, as we suppose, in the Horne. The total assets are reported at $278,241.21.

It is now one of the strongest agencies for the moulding of public sentiment in the United States, in an effort to maintain honorable peace for our country.

The Grand Master refers in tender terms to those who have joined the silent majorfty during the year. He reports many dispensations granted for the usual reasons; and reports only two refused-which we regret, as the easy granting of special dispensations promotes carelessness in lodges in many cases.

DECISIONS.

These are few as reported and generally in accord with the "Common Law" of Freemasonry, though we object to the decision that the advancement of an Entered Apprentice can only be prevented when sustained by a majority vote. This may be right, however. MEMORIAL STONE.

Many Grand Lodges in the past few years have applied for permission to place a memorial stone in the Washington Monument and all have been refused. 'Ve supposed this was generally understood, but we note that our brethren of New M€xico made the same request and with the same result.

The fund for the purpose of establishing a Masonic Home has reached the sum of $9,780.38. The Kit Carson Home at Taos, New Mexico, was given in charge of Bent Lodge at the same place, they obligating themselves to use it for lodge purposes and as a museum in which to preserve relics of this eminent Mason and other souvenirs; also to keep in repair, etc., in default of which the Grand Lodge will take possession.

The territory 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 he addressed. At the first Quarterly, held September 9, the Grand Master introduces a brief address as follows: Let me first express my most sincere appreciation of the fraternal good-will of my brethren as evidenced by the magnificent gathering in the Town Hall on the 24th of June last, when over 3,000 brethren from lhis and other Slales, from remote parts of the counlry and from the city; assembled to honor my installation as your Grand Master. One would, indeed, be of coarse fibre if he were not deeply moved upon such an occasion.

The address referred to a few items of interest and is followed by several reports of officers and committees, the entire session last· ing only a few hours. At the second Quarterly, Decemter 9th, the Grand Master reports several appointments, deaths, dedications, etc., which is followed by the usual reports of Grand Secretary, Treasurer and com-

The address of the Grand Master covers some forty-six pages in a careful detail of the acts and incidents of his administration. Some of his paragraphs are very beautiful. We give a selection from the exordium: The brief and fleeting days have carried into a momentous and interesting past the thousand hopes and fears~' p'lans and acts, efforts and achievements, that make up the web and woof of that wonderful tapestry of human life which we call history. "The Moving Finger writes, and, having writ, .Moves on; nor all your piety nor wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a line, Nor all your tears wash out a word' of it....: The inexorable scythe of Time has cut' its way with long, even and ever-moving swing into our ranks. Our beautiful ritual is em'belli shed with emblems significant of Yesterday, the Present and the Hereafter. These are repeatedly explained by eloquent lips to listening hundreds, yet few are impressed with their lessons and their bearing upon this life. When the shaft of death strikes, we bow the head and quiet the heart, as we contemplate the broken pillar and muse with the poet: "Strange, is it not? That of Before us passed the door of Not one returns to tell 11s of Which to discover, we must

the myriads who Darkness through, the Road travel too."

Yet not without hope have we laid away our Brother and wrapped him in the mahtle provided by Mother Earth. ,The sprig of acacia testifies to our belief in the immortality of the soul. Our Brother's service to men in and through our Fraternity makes his deeds of kindness, faith and love a sweet savor to our lives. And thus may we live, mindful of the inevitable summons and therefore crowding our lives with service to our fellows; and amidst its laughter and its tears, spreading faith, hope and charity among the sons and daughters of men. In sympathetic memory of those who "have traveled this road and received the sa'me light in Masonry" as have we, let us bow our heads and lift our thoughts to our Supreme Grand Master for continued light and leading along our further pilgrimage.

The usual report on Necrology is extended' over many pages and many others are given to dispensation and "ceremonies". Nine lodges were created during the year. The Masonic Homes at Utica .are reported as developing in. interest.

From the report of the committee we gather that the cost of maintenance per capita is probably near $250-although the fact of a farm in connection complicates the question so that we cannot be exact. From the report of the Superintendent we give the following extract: Since the last report issued, the Trustees have admitted to the Home membership 77, consisting of 31 men, 24 women, 12 boys and 10 girls. During the same period we have lost by death 34 men and 16 women. The withdrawal of 9 men, 8 women, 13 boys a.nd 10 girls included in the above total 90. The membership of the Home on the above date consists of 173 men, 125 women, 72 boys and 61 girls, a total of 431. During the year 13 children have been withdrawn by their parents or guardians, while 10 have been placed in positions and are doing well. One of our girls was graduated from St. Luke's Hospital in this city last June, and is now earning her living as a trained nurse. At this writing 113 children attend the public schools of Utica, while 20 are instructed in our home kindergarten. General instruction at the Home consisting of stenography, typewriting, dressmaking and music still continues with good r~sults. Since the inception of the Home to date, 346 children have been cared for. During the same period 1,205 adults have been cared for, making a total of 1,551. FORJ<:IGN

In this, which is very brief, the Grand Master, referring to the' war, says in part: "1 will ask you before we commence our proceedings to join with me in giving silent expression to our sympathy with those who are this day suffering, those who are sorrowing, those who are in distress of body and mind." Motion put and carried, the whole assembly standing to order. The Grand Master then continued: "Whilst we thus express our sorrow for the cost we are called upon to pay, let us not withhold our tribute of admiration for the magnificent manner in which our New Zealand troops have assisted in upholding the honor and glory of the British name. They have indeed proved themselves worthy .scions of a sturdy race, and we have every. reason to be proud of the part our men are playing in this great drama. 'Jt '

. "We can, I think, feel gratified that we have continued our progress in at least eq~al measure to that of preceding years. It may be that we have not created so many Lodges, or initiated so many members, but as regards the true work of Freemasonry I think I am entitlea to say that there has been gratifying progress during the last year. Four new Lodges have been constituted-one at Whakatane, by M. W. Bro. Nicholson, in June last; then the Erewhon Lodge at Mt. Somers; the Whetu-Kairangi Lodge at Seatoun. and the Takapuna Lodge at Takapuna. I myself consecrated the last three Lodges, and I have every confidence that they will be a worthy addition to the Craft in New Zealand. "You have seen the record of our financial progress, and that is most satisfactory indeed. Considering the many claims that have

Hence "I am from Missouri, you must show me," is merely colioquial jollity.

The Grand Lodge of Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons of North Carolina convened in its One Hundred and. Twenty-ninth Annual Communication in the hall of the Masonic Temple, in the City of Raleigh, on Tuesday evening, January 18, 1916, at 7: 30 o'clock, , and was opened in ample form, a constitutional number of lodges being represented. R. W. John C. Drewry, Grand Secretary, having been restored from a;~seriousiIlness, was greeted with the following resolution: "Resolved, That the Grand Lodge joyfully welcomes Right Worshipful Bro. John C. Drewry, Grand Secretary, to his. home, and labors;, and rejoices that he comes back to us greatly Improved in health and strength. We have watched his desperate illness with gz:eat anxiety and solicitude, and we now: humbly givâ&#x201A;Ź thanks to our Great Grand Master for restoring our Right Worshipful Brother to health and to usefulness to his family, his State and to the Grand Lodge. We wish h'im many years of health, happiness and service."

It is trite, but true, that ours is a great country. No part nor section of it has been able to monopolize that greatness. I have but recently heen witness of some of her wonders-I have looked on the Golden Gate and known that before ine lay the greatest harbor of the world; I have been charmed with California's riotous beauty of flower and tree; I have seen 'with' awe the rugged grandeur of mountain and canyon, nature's sculptured monuments limning many a Western landscape; I have been bewildered by the vast expanse of plain and prairie stretching out in unbroken line .beyond the farthest confines of vision's reach; I have crossed the Father of Waters 'and heard his sullen roar as he bore upon his broad bosom his burden toward the . sea; I h'ave been buffeted by a sixty-mile gale and heard it called a breeze; I have held my ears with my hands lest by chance the robber cold snatch them from me-but for the rarest combination found beneath the stars of beauty and peace and grace and pleasantness

It is good to be back in North Carolina-it is great to be with the brethren in the Grand Lodge of North Carolina. DECISIONS.

All the questions addressed to the Grand Master" were old questions many times previously answered, etc., etc.," nevertheless the Grand Master quotes a law of the Grand Lodge new to us but old in principle and which should be of force in every Grand Lodge: "A decision can be made only In' case of an appeal from a decision of a lodge or its Master."

"No such appeal came to me and conse9uently. no 'decision' was rendered." . The Deputy Grand Master made the formal address, as the Grand Master had been absent most of the year. NEW LODGES.

Dispensation was granted for the creation of six lodges during the year. The acting Grand Ma~ter does not seem to be restrained -by the law quoted by the Grand Master, reports some .48 rulings, nearly all of which were approved by the committee. The two Homes seem to be in excellent condition and doing fine work. In the Oxford Orphan Asylum there are nearly 375 childrenexact number not given-and in the Masonic and Eastern Star Home recently opened there are some 35 old people. Cost of maintenanee not given.

Forecasts of statesmen have proven complete failures; all laudable efforts for Universal Peace have been nullified; agreements, solemnly ratified by contracting governments, have been repudiated - by warring nations; brute force, yielding to the influence of trade rivalries and racial enmities, has supplanted the higher ideals of government, and under this intoxication even the rights of neutral powers have been' flagrantly violated. The teachings of the Prince of Peace seem obliterated as thousands, yes millions, of His followers are struggling to exterminate other millions of the same faith, using in part instruments of warfare shamefully barbaric, and all calling upon Jehovah to aid their just cause. Is it any wonder that strong men pause, shudder and quail before such a spectacle? May such strength and wisdom be given those intrusted with directing the destinies of our nation as will result in sparing us the appalling and awful calamity that has fallen to the lot of the people, and incidentally to our Brotherhood in other lands. •

Appendi.-v.

[Sept.

The cause of many tragedies in life is relationship without friendship. If in the same family there are brothers without friendship, then that is a family without love. If in a Masonic lodge there are brothers without friendship, then there are men who profess to have brotherly love and are simply living hypocrites. The guilty person is the one who is not conscious of friendship towards his brother, for I can be a friend of another, whether he is a friend of mo or not. Most \Vorshipful Master and brethren" if our Order is not practicing what it teaches in this respect, if within our ranks are brethren not acting brotherly, it is because they are not true to the principal tenets of our profession.

From the address of the Grand Master we Quote: Fifty years ago on the 20th day of February last the Lodges which had been chartered by and were then working under the Grand Lodge of Scotland, -surrendered their' charters to their parent Grand Lodge and formed this Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of Nova Scotia. The Grand Lodge so formed held its first annual communication on the 21st day of June, 1866, in this city, and on this occasion, in this the jubilee year of its existence, we, the successors of those stalwart and courageous Masons, who united in the formation of this Grand Lodge, have met in the same city, to review the past, take counsel together, prepare the program for the future, and to celebrate in a quiet way the fiftieth annual communication of our Grand Lodge. 'When we consider the small number of lodges which united to found this Grand Lodge in comparison with the large number of lodges then working 'in Nova Scotia, which declined to join with the Scotch lodges in its formation, we cannot but admire the spirit and Masonic fortitude of that body of Masons who had the courage to break off from their mother Grand Lodge in Scotland and undertake the apparently impossible task of organizing and successfully working an independent Grand Lodge for this Province.

The British Empire is not engaged in this war for the purpose of <:onquest, but in order to ,uphold the honor of our country, to protect the weak and innocent from the ruthless hand of the strong wrongdoer, and to preserve to the whole world freedom, honor and justice. Many of the sons of Nova Scotia have voluntarily go'ne forth to assist in the great struggle, which is now being carried on by the British Empire and her allies against those nations which have distUl'bed the peace of· the world, destroyed the homes of the innocent, and who are waging war against all that we hold most sacred.

The Grand Master reports the death of 94 Masons in that Juris·diction and many in others. No officer of the' Grand Lodge has died. He also states that the Masonic year has been quiet and without special incident. The comparative lack of interest t'n

Masonry he attributes to the war, adducing in evidence the fact that his correspondence had fallen off fifty per cent since the previous year. nNAKCIAL.

The General and Benevolent Funds he reports in good condition, amounting to $26,210.3l. In his report on Decisions there is nothing of special interest, unless it be a paragraph in the first, to the effect that "it is really only the Master and Wardens who have the right to ballot on candidates," etc. We seriously doubt if this be in accord with the spirit and genius of Masonry and the fact that he adds-though "it is customary for all who are present to be given the opportunity of balloting"-with us the ballot is a matter of right and not of custom. We be brethren and equals in the eye of the law, and, if the right of ballot inheres only in the Master and Wardens, they certainly can receive or reject in accordance with their own wiII and without reference to the rest of the lodge, should they so desire. THE l\1ASO:'\IC HOllIE.

This institution seems to be in excellent condition and popular with the fraternity. An unusual distinction was confen:ed on its inmates by voting a jewel to each! The inmates are nineteensixteen men and three women. The average cost of maintenance is not given, but is probably about $260. }'RATERNAL COHRESPOXDJ~XCE.路

This is from the excellent pen of Bro. Thos. Mowbray, Grand Secretary, who recognizes valuable assistance received from Bro. J. C. Jo~es, 'Assistant Grand Secretary, who he says will probably write the entire report next year. Bro. Mowbray occupies 183 page~ in reporting, in reviewing the proceedings of 62 Grand Lodges. He accords to Missouri some three and a half pages, with a kind word for the Correspondent. He, however, files an objection to the work of the Grand Master in this wise: Quite a batch of decisions-thirty in number-are reported. Among them we find (No.4) that the Grand Master ruled that a man who took his own life, no doubt about that, was entitled to Masonic burial, which we don't like; also (No.6) that a candidate who had a stiff knee, thus rendering him unable to kneel in proper form or position, is eligible for membership, with which we resp~ctfully differ.

GRAND CO;\D1UNlCATION.

The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of the Most Ancient and Honorable Fraternity of Free and Accepted Masons of Ohio met in its One Hundredth 'and Sixth Annual Grand Communication in the auditorium of the Masonic Temple in Dayton, Ohio, at 10 o'clock a. m~', Wednesday, October 20., 1915, and was opened in ample form, with prayer by the" Grand Chaplain, five hundred and forty-one lodges being represented besides the Grand Officers and visitors. . The Grand Master thus introduces his ANNUAL ADDRESS:

Brethren: As we assemble in One Hundred and Sixth Annual Grand Communication to consider the work of the past year, we s~ould also consider the great measure of Divine favor we enjoy. At peace with .the world, provided by Nature with a generous harvest, our industries thriv,e and the welfare of the Nation is maintained. Our fraternal relations with other Grand Jurisdictions are cordial; the prosperity, and inftuepce of Masonry is greater in the Western Hemisphere than ever before. Contrast with our happy ,condition the situation abroad, where for more than a year we have viewed with increasing concern and sorrow the ravage of the greatest war known to history. Neither voice nor pen can describe the suffering and misery endured by our fellow creatures in unhappy Europe. At present the passions of a barbarous age seem to incite civilized men, and to make powerless the forces of religion and education. Yet the customs of the dark ages cannot prevail; reason will be restored to the warring nations, and, in the work of rehabilitation and conciliation, Freemasonry will be found as of old-a potent and impartial agent.

EIGHTH ANNUAL COl\LMTNICATION.

The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Oklahoma was convened in the Masonic Temple in Oklahoma City by Right Worshipful Arthur James Weir, Deputy Grand Master, at 8: 30 o'clock p. m., February 14, A. D. 1916, and after the usual formalities the Grand Master 'was introduced and the Grand Lodge opened in ample form with a l~uge number of delegates and visitors in attendance. Grand Master McMillan of Texas was introduced and received in due form. To his worthy address the Grand Master made fitting response, after which he presented his ANNUAL ADDRESS.

We copy a paragraph.:

•

The days, months and years pass swiftly by, and time itself seems but a fleeting shadow when filled with work and pleasure, that were it not for our calendar, we could scarcely believe another year had elapsed since we bade each other good-bye at Guthrie and returned to our places of abode to again take up our various duties at the different tasks assigned to us; yet it is true, and the year just passed is now only to be recalled or reviewed "as history, and we come to tell you of the work accomplished and the business of the Grand Lodge transacted during this period of time.

approach of night, so one by one we lay us down in the darkness of the tomb to wait in its calm repose for the time when the Heavens shall pass away.as a scroll and man, standing in the presence of the Infinite, shall realize the true end of his pilgrimage here below. WhUe, therefore, nat'ure will have its way and our tears will fall upon the graves of our departed brethren, let us be reminded by the Evergreens, symbol of our faith in immortal life, that the dead are but sleeping, and be comforted by the reflection that their memories will not be forgotten-that they will still be loved by those who are so soon to follow them; that in our archives their names are written, and that in our hearts there is still a place for them; And so, trusting in the infinite love and tender· mercy of Him, without whose knowledge not even a sparrow falls, let us prepare to meet them where there is no parting and ~here with them we shall enjoy eternal rest.

•••.

The address throughout is a careful detail of the prominent events of the year, including full records of several Emergent Communications as to personnel, purpose' and ceremonies. Among other incidents he notes one which is certainly unique and probably unequaled in Masonic history. We give his language: A team of Past Grand Masters conferred· the. Third Degree on 'Vill L. E~gleton, son of Past Grand Master W. L. Eag~eton, of Norman. All the offices were filled by Past Grand Masters, counting Grand Master Monroney, who is now the present Grand Master.

This was certainly interesting, but we have on record another Masonic incident which in some respects is even more unequaled: Rev. Arthur Mather, D. D., our Assistant Editor, was made a Mason in the chapel of his church-the lodge room having been burned and the church offered asa temporary meeting pla.ce-by three Past Grand Masters, who were also Methodist ministers and Doctors of Divinity, Rev. John D. Vincil, D. D., Rev. C. H. Briggs, D. D., and the writer of this sketch. Both these incidents might well be preserved in. Masonic history. Seven lodges were constituted, dedicated and installed. Several dispensations were granted to attend services on St. John's Day... With us these are Masonic occasions and no dispensation is, required. Dispensations were granted in several instances to confer degrees without r~gard to statutory time, a fee· of ten dollars being required in every case from the candidate. We think this provIsion wise: If lodges insist on a violation of Masonic usage let i.t cost something. Let the practice of asking and granting such privileges be discouraged.

This worthy institution seems to be in good condition gen'erally. During the year there were sixty admitted and twenty-nine discharged for various reasons. Eleven died, ten of them. being old people. The present membership of the Home family is 158. As this Home has a farm, school, etc., in connection with its work, it is difficult to approximate the cost of maintenance per capita, especially as various improvements, additions, etc., complicate the problem.We append the following: In the United States the Masonic Fraternity now, has thirtyfive Masonic, ~omes, :with many others contemplated. The membership in all these Homes is about 1,600 old people and 2,000 children, a total of about 3,600. Oklahoma has nearly 4lf2 per cent of this number.

The index occupies the opening pages, which is very correct in our judgment. Many Proceedings have none at all, and those that have sometimes place it in the center of the vol ume where it is easily overlooked. And sometimes, even when there is an index, it is so improperly arranged that it is most unsatisfactory. There is no report on Correspondence. A committee is appointed, but they seem to have no function-at least we find no other mention except the appointment. As we understand it, this Grand Lodge repudiates the usual report as undesirable-in their case! To which we have no possible objection-in their case. COMMUNICATIONS.

Quarterly Communications were held in Philadelphia March 3, June 2, September 1 and December 1, and THE ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

was held December 27th, which is something in the nature of a "dress parade," most ,of the~ work of the Grand Jurisdiction being done by committees; :-some' of whom' gi ve their -reports路 at 'the Quarterly Communications. "The address of"the'Grand Master is brief, but comprehensive, including, among other matters of interest, "Edicts" naming nine parties, with location, who have been, according to the law of this Grand Lodge, illegally made Freemasons in other Grand Jurisdictions which do not recognize 'the dogma of "perpetual jurisdiction" or the five years jurisdiction suggested-and agreed to by some, at the meetingof'Grand Masters in Philadelphia some years ago. The effect of this "Edict" is to declare these nine parties clandestine, in effect, a?cl forbidding them the privilege of visiting in Pennsylvania. A very serious' question' arises at this point, which, however, we will not discuss. It will preMn,t itself soon enou~h.

I greet you one and all in fraternal love, and it is with pleasure that I welcome you to our Fourth Annual Communication. We assemble today with hearts fun of gratitude to the Great Architect of the Universe for the manifold blessings which have been ours during the past Masonic year. It has been a year of active labor, and unprecedented 'prosperity has attended the efforts' of the Craft in this Grand Jurisdiction. Our lodges all show a good growtli and a healthy financial condition, and we have made a net gain of 119 in our membership. While we give thanks and rejoice in our own well-being, and are especially grateful that :we live in a land of peace and goodwill toward men, yet we are not unmindful of the fact that' many of our brethren beyond the seas have been surrounded by the wreck and ruin of war and bloodshed. Our hearts go out to them in sympathy, and we hold ourselves in readiness to contribute our mi'e to the relief of the distressed when the opportunity offers.

Tbus the Grand Master introduces his annual report, and continues in some 41 pages to give a detailed account of his administration. He laments the death of sever~l~,worthy brothers and quotes the following: "They're passing away, those dear old friends, Like leaves on the current cast; With never ~ break in the rapid flow, We watch them as one by one they go Into the beautiful past."

The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Ancient,.Free and Accepted Masons of Prince Edward Island, composed of the Grand Lodge Officers, Representatives of Constituent Lodges and Past Masters, convened in the Masonic Temple at Charlottetown, in the forenoon of June 23rd, A. L. 5915, for' the purpose of holding the Fortieth Annual Communication, a fair represent.ation from the lodges as well as many visitors being present. After the usual ceremonies the Grand Master presented the ANNU.AL ADDRESS,

which is a worthy document, covering some fourteen pages. We extract from it a 'few paragraphs. Referring to the war, he says: Christendom is now in-the throes of a great struggie, pagan ideals versus Christian路ideals-'-and barbaric methods against those of modern civilization. And here, perhaps, it might not be amiss to note that this is not the first time the fate of civilization has been trembling. in the balance. Five hundred years before the Christian era Greece was the abode of culture, the home of art, the seat of philosophy, the center of civilization and the cradle of democracy. Against the little State of Attica, no larger than one-third of Prince Edward Island, came the Persian hordes under Cyrus. On the field of Marathon the Greeks were victorious and civilization was saved: . A thousand years later civilization was again threatened by the invasion of the Huns, who swarmed from Asia over Central Europe. Again in the Eighth Century there was another turning point

in the world's history, when at the great battle of Jours the question was decided whether Europe should be Mohammedan or Christian. The world reached another crisis one hundred years ago when the Corsican gunner stood upon the shores of France, gazing with ambitious eye across the English Channel to the land held by "the nation of shopkeepers". He had trampled Europe under his feet, he had waded through blood to gratify a boundless ambition, and he wished to have England at his feet. The question then was, as it is now, military despotism against democracy; but on the field of Waterloo the principles of liberty were vindicated and the arms of 'Napoleon were shattered. In the present supreme moment of the world's existence let us hope and trust that history may repeat itself, and that Civilization and Right and Truth may come off triumphant in the terrific clash of arms that is deluging Europe with blood.

Nothing save the usual routine matter appears in the report of the session. The Grand Secretary reports all returns in, all dues paid and the finances of the Grand Lodge in good condition. The Grand Master closes his. address thus: . To do good to others is the foundation principle of Masonry. Let us endeavor to live up to our moral standard, so that with truth we may be able to say,

"r live for those who love me, For those who know me true, For the heaven that smiles above me, And awaits my spirit, too; For the wrongs that need resistance, For the cause that lacks assistance, For the future in the distance And the good that I can do. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE.

The Grand Master introduced his report with pleasant greetings to the Craft and an explanation as to the delay caused and the general interruptions to his work by very serious illness. Referring to existing conditions, he says: *

The past ~"ear. my brethren, has. as you all know, been one of great anxiety and trouble. We were committed in August. 1914, to the most terrible war in modern history, and compelled by the highest of duties to take up arms as a national obligation in behalf of others. for the purpose of not only carrying out our treaty obligations. but with the object of m'aintaining the true principles of all that is just, perfect and right. This unfortunate war naturally interfered very seriously with the economic system of the country, causing a widespread commercial depression amongst manufacturers, merchants and fin'anciers. thus creating a considerable upheaval in the civil and domestic life of the population. It vias not, therefore,

to be expected that a large increase in applicants for the Light of Masonry would arise, and, you' will notice from the report of the Grand Secretary that the results in this respect have been less than those of the previous year, by about one-third.

He reports the arrest of a charter for irregularities, followed by contumacy. He reports that almost all the lodges have attended religious services, formally, and that on one occasion a collection of almost $1,500 was: r~iised for hospital purposes for the army; also at the St. James Methodist Church in Montreal nearly $2,800 was raised, as also liberal contributions by individuals. The Grand Master grants various dispensations, makes several rulings and different appointments, all in accordance with law and. usage, as observed in that Grand Jurisdiction. He closes his address' with the following fervent invocation: May wisdom from on High be given us aright in the cleliberations of this Grand Annual Communication, and may the blessing of the Great Architect of the Universe be with us all in our' undertakings. May Victory perch upon the banners of our country and upon those of our allies. May the horrors of war be superseded by a righteous a'rid abiding peace. May the lives and the safety of our brethren who are fighting for our Empire and our King be precious in the sight of the Most High, and may He continue to preserve our ,Order by cementing and adorning it with every moral and social virtue.

A Special Comm unication of the Grand Lodge was held in Masonic Hall, Brisbane, on Wednesday, August 12, 1914. The Grand Lodge was opened in ample form by the M~ W. Grand Master, A. M. Hertzberg, assisted by other Grand Officers, and in the presence of a large number of delegates and visitors. The l\;f. W. Grand Master, having been elected for the sixth consecutive time, at the last Stated Communication of the Crand Lodge last 'year was regularly and duly installed and proclaimed in the East, West and South, after which he returned thanks to the brethren for the honor conferred. The other Grand Lodge Officers, elective and appointive, were duly presented in the Grand East and formally inducted into their several offices. ADDRESS OF GRAND :l\fASTER.

The address of the Grand Master which followed was full of interest and we would be glad to quote more largely than our space permits. We give, however, a paragraph or two that o}lr readers may appreciate the deeply religious spirit which it indicates: Brethren: We have tonight completed another year of Masonic life and effort. We can look back with pride and pleasure UpOli what has been accomplished, and with regret upon moments misspent and efforts misdirected. Yet, whether success or failure, we may safely claim that' everything said or done or undertaken had as its basis the one and only object-the advancement of the Craft, the betterment of our surroundings and the hope that we may be permitted to leave our mark for good upon the sands of time. Our progress as a Grand Lodge has been well maintained, and our roots as the Sovereign Masonic body in this our own country have 'been still morc deeply implanted, and as such received further recognition from our brethren in distant lands.

â&#x20AC;˘

During the year just passed we have erected three new centers for the dissemination of Freemasonry, namely: On August 23rd, 1913, Moreton Lodge, at Sandgate; on October 18th, 1913, the Dunlop Lodge, at Male,ny; on March 28th, 1914, the Wallan-Garra Lodge, at WallanGarra. ' One of the aims of Freemasonry is to free its adherents from exaggerated race consciousness, from the egotism of viewing other

men of other creeds and nationalities with SUspicIon and distrust, not to disregard the rights inherent to all men whose life and actions flre correct and worthy. ThE? Bible is replete with lessons tending to these conclusions, and it is upon that grand old Book we Freemasons build. Therein we behold the great law of life, the inevitable connection between virtue and bliss, and, per contra, iniquity and suffering. It prevents us from giving sway to blind credulity or slavish obedience to the priest. We exclaim with Job, "I know that my Redeemer liveth," and with the Psalmist, "For whom have I in heaven but Thee, and with Thee I need none on earth."

Upon you, brethren all, I invoke heaven's choicest blessings; may the Most High protect you and yours, and grant you His constant _ favor. and grace; may He bless this, our cherished land, and all its iridweilers, now and forever. So mote it be.

Like most provincial, and. some other Grand Lodges, the work of the year in this Grand Lodge is distributed through several Special and Stated Communications, held frequently in the evening and occupying only a few hours. So far as we are able to judge, the principles and practices of Masonry characterizes all the work of this Grand Lodge. There is no report on correspondence.

The Ninth Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of Ancient, Free and Accepted Maf;ons of Saskatchewan convened in the Masonic Temple in the City of Regina at 2 p. m. on Wednesday, the 16th day of June, A. D. 1915, A. L. 5915, and was opened in ample form, after an address of welcome by the Mayor of the city, to which suitable response was made. ANNUAL ADDRESS.

The address of the Grand ,Master is brief, being a concise statement of the more important incidents of the Masonic year. He gives several fine paragraphs of high moral sentiment. We give one or two selections, with regret that our space will not permit further indulgence: In 1906 a number of our brethren, a great many of whom are with us today, were seized with' the idea that the time had arrived for the institution of a Grand Lodge in the Province of Saskatchewan, and immediately undertook the task of bringing this about. It was no sinecure. Very many apparent obstacles presented themselves, but these were one by one dispelled, until, on the 8th day of August, 1906, in the City of Regina, this Grand Institution was launched. At that time there were within the Province twenty-four lodges and approximately nine hundred members. The growth of Grand Lodge, in keeping with the development and growth of the Province itself, was steady, until today we have 116 lodges and 6,705 members.

•

During the past Masonic year peace and harmony have prevailed among the fraternity of this Jurisdiction, and our membership has been largely increased by the admission of very worthy men. The only danger to be apprehended at the present time is that the increased popularity of our institution may induce unworthy men to apply for admission from mercenary motives. It is quality and not quantity that should govern us in the selection of material for OUl' bui~~ing, and it behooves us to look well into the character of those who present themselve~ for the rights and benefits of Masonry.

'Ve do not want fewer members, but we do want more morals, or better morals, and if we can only have "more morals" by lessening the members, let us lessen the members.

We have before us the "Proceedings of the Grand Lodge of Scotland" "from February, 1916, to January, 1917," which would seem to indicate prescience on the part or the Grand Secretary, or it may be intended merely to indicate that the arrangement in officers, committees, etc., is to include the period mentioned .. Furthermore, the initial page is headed "Private and Confidential," so that we may be violating confidence in anything we reveal as to the contents of the volume, but, if so, no great harm will be done, as we gather so little from the volume that we could reveal very little indeed. We say this in no spirit of criticism-far from it-but simply' to preface the statement that the workings of the Grand Lodge of Scotland are so different from ours that the Reviewer finds little to record. The Grand Lodge meets in Quarterly Communication at 3 o'clock p. m~ on Thursdays, February 3, ,May 4, August 3 and November 2, 1916, and meets for installation of Grand Office-Bearers on'Thursday, November 30, 1916, at 4 o'clock p. m. and at 5 the same afternoon for the celebration of the Festival of St. Andrew. Almost all the business is done by committees, notably the Grand Committee. These all meet on the same day as the Grand Lodge at a previous hour or in connection with Grand Lodge. There is no abstract of number of lodges and members apd the figures we give are but an attempt at approximation. Almost the entire volume is occupied with the names of members and other

data and the minutes o~ only one Quarterly are given, which OCCIlpied only part of an evening and consisted in presenting reports and election of committees. In answer to a question the Grand Committee ruled that an undischarged bankrupt should not be elected to office-if in office should resign, and that if recommended for the degrees or membership, the parties so recommending should be subject to punishment. It was also recommended that a District Grand Lodge should be created for Penang, Federated Malay States, etc., etc.; to be called "The District Grand Lodge of the Middle East". Brother Andrew J. O'Reilly of St. Louis was appointed as representative to the Grand Lodge of Missouri. No Masonic Home is maintained, but a number. of charity funds are held in trust by the Grand Lodge, and from the income thereof annuities are paid to indigent brethren, widows and orphans, as recommended by the lodges. This is a far easier method of dispensing aid to the needy than a Masonic Home, although not so spectacular. As to which is the most satisfactory there is a wide difference of opinion, although American Grand Lodges favor the "Home" in most cases. There is no report on correspondence, although the receipt of the Proceedings of many American Grand Lodges is noted.

and one verse of "Blest Be the Tie That Binds" was sung, after which the roll of all the Past Grand Masters and the present Grand Officers was called. The Grand Secretary reported 437 lodges represented out of 457, besides visitors and 路prominent members; the law of the Grand Lodge regarding attendance on the sessions and giving information to reporters or others of the proceedings was read, after which the 路Grand Master presented his ANNUAL ADDRESS,

which is essentially a business paper, giving a detailed account of the acts and incidents of the administration, with only a touch of philosophic sentiment in the beginning and at the close. We give an extract: It is your further duty to see that the ancient landmarks of Ma~ sonry are preserved intact; to see that no harmful innovations are made in the body of Masonry; to see that the Lodges and members arc obeying and living according to the wise and salutary rules of the Fraternity. Peace and 'prosperity prevail in Tennessee. New' lodge rooms and a magnificent Temple have been completed and dedicated the past year. The membership has increased in a substantial manner both in number and in the quality and character of the men admitted to the Order. All these things bring us to the full realization of the enduring mercy of the God of our fathers, whose tender care has brought us to the end of one more year of work in the construction of our moral, mental and spiritual temples.

The Grand Master pays worthy and somewhat lengthy tribute to the fraternal dead of that Jurisdiction and recites a long list of names of those reported from elsewhere. Referring to the death of the Grand Secretary, .John B. Garrett, he announces the appointment of his successor, Stith M. Cain. He reports various appointments. Twelve corner-stones were laid during the year, four by the Grand Master in person and eight by appointees. Many dispensations were granted and many referred, all doubtless fully justified by law and usage. A charter was arrested by the Grand Master and an appeal was taken by the lodge. Of the result we can find no record. (Possibly we are obtuse.) The Grand Master concludes as follows: How I wish, oh, how I wish that some hand, guided by love, sympathy and understanding, would take up the task of preserving in poem, story and history the simple, unaffected, honest, friendly life

New 'England, the North and the West each have had this labor of love done in their behalf, but the true stories of the home life of the South are yet to be written. Too many tales of the passions and the free use of the pistol in the hands of angry and thoughtless men have been written, a majority by Southern writers, which do not place the lives of the Southern people in the proper light. Soon may such a writ~r arise to paint in glowing colors the great lives of the simple, plain and honest people of the country and villages.

AN INTERESTING EPISODE.

After welcoming, in a formal way, the Grand Representatives present, the Grand Master requested all who had been Masons for forty years to stand up, to which eighteen brethren responded. To these and the Grand Lodge the Grand Master addressed several most beautiful sentiments. We quote a paragraph or two: The impression has been entirely too general that our older men rather than facilitate th~, march of .civilization. It has become a growing. habit in these latter days to put aside our older men, or at least regard them as obsolete. A grosser error canr~ot be made, and it is for the purpose of paying proper tribute to these grand old men whose hair has whitened In the service of Masonry that I have called them out before you today. ob~truct

If you eliminate from the world's history the' achievements of

men past sixty years old, you would blot out much of the grandest .achievements of the ages. Art, Science, Literature, Music, Architecture, Statecraft, Jurisprudence and Religion would lose the grandest masterpieces and works that have left their imprint upon our civilization. Titian, master of Venetian painting, completed his wonderful Battle of Lepanto at the age of ninety-eight. Michael Angelo~ at eighty-nine, completed the "Last Judgment" -perhaps the most famous picture in the world-and between the age of sixty and seventy he executed his world-famous frescoes in the Sistine Chapel at Rome. Von Moltke crushed France at seventy-two and was still Chief of Staff of the German army at eighty-eight. John Wesley was at the zenith of his power at the same age. Talleyrand, Thomas Jefferson, John Quincy Adams, Calhoun, Bismarck, Benjamin Franklin and Gladstone were each political powers at eighty. Spencer, Newton, Voltaire, Bancroft, Browning, Grimm, Laplace, Humboldt and Tennyson produced their most imperishable works around eighty, at which age Tennyson wrote his immortal "Crossing the Bar," the tenderest death-song in the English language. Above the age of sixty, Pasteur discovered his cure for hydrophobia; Monroe announced his American Doctrine; Columbus made his voyages of discovery; Wagner, Verdi and Gounod produced their wonderful music-harmonies which conUilUe to thrill the world.

At the age of sixty, Thomas A. Edison, the wizard of Menlo Park, was keeping the road to the Patent Office hot with his new inventions, which revolutionized mechanics, electrical utilities and other important fields; and at the age of sixty-eight we witness him called upon to head a Committee of Scientists appointed by this government to bring to a state of highest efficiency the defensive forces of the nation. .

"'.

Referring to those who have joined the silent majority, the Grand Master speaks tenderly, introducing several beautiful quotations, among them this": "And so beside the sileritsea I wait the muffled oar; ,. No harm from Him can come to me On ocean or on shore. "I know n'ot where his iSlands lift Their fronded palms in air; I only know I cannot drift Beyond His love and care."

The address of the Grand Master is one of the longest on record, but we find nothing therein really unnecessary for the information of the Craft, and little to which we could in reason object, In truth, it is one of the greatest deliverances we have seen of this order. Certainly we cannot agree with his position and argument as to the "five years" jurisdiction, which to our mind is quite as unjust in principle as "perpetual jurisdiction"'.

The Grand Master for 1916-17 presents himself on the initial page in the appearance of a young man for an office so exalted, but the face indicates character, intellectual and moral, of a high orcleJ'. No doubt the interests of t.he Craft are safe in his hands. FORTY-FIFTH AN ~UAL

CO;\{~IUNICAT]O:X.

The M. W. Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Utah convened in its Forty-fifth Annual Communication in the Masonic Temple, Salt Lake City, Utah, Tuesday, the 18th day of January, A. D. 1916, at 10 o'clock a. m., and was opened with the usual ceremonies. . ANNUAL

ADDR~:SS.

The address of the Grand Master is very modest in extent and expression, containing only the barest details of the work of the year with no indications of special sentiment and no allusion to the mercies received from the Supreme Grand Master. The beginning is as follows: We have assembled this morning in this beautiful temple for our l'-'orty-fifth Annual Communication, for the purpose of reviewing my administration during the past year and of providing for the requirements of the future. We will also renew old friendships and make new ones. I welcome you on this occasion and trust it will be a happy and profitable one for all concerned. The year has been placid and uneventful, both within our Order and with our friends and fellow citizens of Utah. We are having our full share of happiness and prosperity and the Masonic institution is doing its part in building up the community towards higher citizenship, education and culture.

The Grand Master granted several dispensations for the usual purposes and reports having instituted two lodges in person. He also constituted the lodge at Garfield, Utah, and dedicated the lodge hall at Mount Pleasant, Utah. He made quite a number of visita-

tions during the year, receiving the usual courtesies accorded to Grand Masters. IN'STALLATlOi'\S .

. The Grand Master acknO\"ledges the 'receipt of several invitations to officiate at public installations, some of which he answered in person, declining others. He expresses the opinion that unless for some reason the presence of a Grand 'Officer is rJ.ecessary it would be much better to call on any resident Past Master or Past Grand Officer to officiate on such occasions than go to the expense and trouble of bringing a Grand Officer from a distance. The Grand Master reports two decisions, manifestly in accordance with law and usage, and recommends that the Grand Lodge legislate to the effect that the lecture in the Master's Degree may be given at a future meeting if the lodge so desires, and also that candidates for advancement may be examined before a committee instead of the open lodge, if so desired by the lodge. }'RATl';Ri'\AL CORRI路;SPONDEXCE.

I have been furnished with certain figures, which will be founa in the Grand Secretary's report, and to one or two of these I would direct your attention. The additions total 2,157-initiations 1,523 and affiliations 634-making a total membership of 16,350. Unfortunately, however, we have lost by death 134, 854 resigned, and 132 have been excluded; total, 1,130, thus' reducing it to 15,220. The net increase for the year is 1,027-within less than 50 per cent of tile actual accessions to our ranks. The financial position of the lodges ,is regarded as most satisfactory. We have opened five new iodges, viz: Skipton, Ivanhoe, West Melbolirne, Thespian and Pcnshurst. The Fund of Benevolence shows disbursements amounting to £2305 8s.7d., making a total since the formation of Grand Lodge of £32,6765s. 2d. These figures, in my opinion, are illuminating, and they will give us, I feel sure, much food for thought now, and stimulate us to action in the future.' .. " .

Referring to the great war, he ,says: We are on the eve, I believe, of times which call for the exhibition of the greatest courage arid supreme fortitude, and I trust we " will meet the occasion with strength and prudence. I want you to be temperate in word and .action, and, above all,., in e~penditure, Never was there a time when the British Empire had been called upon to exercise true domestic economy like the present. I ask you to reduce your expenditure on pleasures. Even if the box at the theater be replaced by a seat at the picture show, there must still be moderation. ,Let the glare of the stage lights"be discarded, and more social intercourse exist between man and man,. and family and family. We must go back to simpler conditions, and, above all, we must put a stop to this waste and wicked expenditure, and the attendant increase in the cost of living. If the 16,000 of 'us in this territory, extending from the Murray to the sea, exercise our power and influence in this direction, surely we can have a great effect on the rest of the community.

The Grand Lodge of the Philippine Islands was recognized. From the closing ceremonies we excerpt the following from the Grand Master: Before closing Gr.and Lodge, I desire to tender the season's greetings to you all, and I deeply regret that I am not able to assume greater cheerfulness on this occasion. You will remember that last year we were just at the beginning of the great international conflict, but today the end appears as far off as ever. The wastage has been fearful, and the losses, which are personal as well as national, seem to be growing day by day. We know that the result is certain, and realize that it is only a matter of time. We can only.rely on the All-Merciful Great Architect of the Universe and trust that universal peace will be established on such a basis that this fair world will never again be defaced by such an inhuman struggle.' I wish you all health and prosperity, and trust that Freemasonry will 'flourish and that next season we shall all meet again under happier circumstances.

The One Hundred and Thirty-eighth Grand Annual Communication of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Virginia was begun in the Masonic Temple, in the City of Richmond, on Tuesday, the 8th day of February A. L. 5916, A. D. 1916. GRAND MASTER'S ADDRESS.

Right Worshipful Robert. H. Wood read .the address of the Grand Master, which began as follows: My Brethren: In the kind providence of God, we are again permitted ,to assemble· in this,. the One Hundred and Thirty-eighth An~1Ual Gommunication of the body, and it becomes my duty to report to you what has transpired through the Craft in the last year, so far as has come 'to my attention. Peace and harmony prevail, and the outlook is very bright. There is one thing that impressed me with the uncertainty of life and the certainty of death, and it was as I received the announcements of how fast our siste'r Grand Jurisdictions were losing their Past Grand Officers.

DECISIONS.

The Grand Master reports a number of decisions or rulings, all seemingly in accordance with law. We give two as of interest: 5. Question-"How long are lodges in your Jurisdiction authorized to claim jurisdiction over rejected material after removal from the State?" Answer-"We do not claim jurisdiction after party leaves our State."

Virginia is generally right; never more so than in this case.

It Is not a Masonic organization, and we, as Masons, have nothing in the world to do with it, except, of course, that we are glad to have the lad"ies have an organization of this kind, which interests them in Freemasonry."

The Grand Master does not sidestep this, but-we have no opinion to express; we have been married some time! DISPENSATIONS.

Many were granted-and refused. Several asking permission to hold public installation of officers on St. John's Day, Decâ&#x201A;Źmber 27, were refused. Why? We are concerned to know. With us, and, so far as we kI).ow, with many other Jurisdic1ions, St. John's Day is a "Masonic occasion" and no dispensation is necessary for a public function of legitimate character. MASONIC HOME.

This institution" seems to be working well. There are now in the Home seventy-four children, some of whom are employed in the city. The per capita expense is not given, but is difficult perhaps to estimate, as there is a farm in connection with the Home. It is probably something under $300-not counting the cost of the plant. \Vie find no index to the volume, either in front, rear or "amidships". There may be one, but we fail to find it, and this is a common incident with us. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE.

Brother Eggleston gives us a fine report. He could do nothing else! He is a most graceful writer and delivers his best efforts on the altar of Freemasonry. His comments on Missouri and on the Correspondent are most kind.

Brother Jos~ph F. Barton, Mayor of North Yakima, representing the Masons of that city, tendered a graceful welcome to the officers and members of the Grand Lodge, which was responded to in splen· did form by the Junior Grand Warden. GRAND MASTER'S ADDRESS.

From this worthy paper we excerpt one of the opening paragraphs, not merely to exhibit the rhetorical finish, but also the high spirit indicated thereby.

•

I am humble because every true man and Mason when he enters upon the discharge of his duty and assumes the responsibilities thereof does so with a zeal, earnestness and enthusiasm which, because of other legitimate duties demanding such a tribute of time, he is seldom able to maintain throughout his entire term of office. There are few who have entered any new field of labor who have not entertained fond hopes and high conceptions of things that might and ought to be done during their Official career who have not concluded such career with a stern realization of having been unable to accomplish the major portion of the things contemplated. But the Master commended the widow for her mite, saying, "She hath done

what she could," and so has it been with your Grand Master. He has done what he could and only asks that in passing judgment you will be sure that h_e has always acted for what he believed to be the best interests of the Craft.

* CORNER-STON~~S

AND lHSPENSATIONS.

During the year the Grand Master, in person or by proxy, laid six corner-stones, dedicat0d two Masonic Temples and constituted four lodges. NEW LODGES.

Dispensations were granted for the creation of three new lodges and two under dispensation were'eontinued. DISPENSATIONS GRANTED

A~D

REFlJSED.

Various dispensations were granted and several refused, every such action seemingly in accord with Masonic law and usage. DECISIONS.

Four decisions are reported, all in accordance with Masonic law and usage-although. the last will be repudiated by some Grand Lodges as it contradicts the dogma of perpetual. jurisdiction and holds that a person who has resided one year within tlie jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of Washington is'eligible to petition for the degrees. FUNERAL SERVICE.

The .Grand Master recommends that the law' governing funeral services be amended to read as follows: "To constitute burial with Masonic Honors the funeral service authorized by the Grand Lodg-e must be used. The lodge may be opened in due form in the lodge ro'om, or the Master may call the members of his lodge together at the place designated for the funeral, there put on the proper regalia and conduct the funeral without the necessity of the formal opening of the lodge, in which case the Secretary will note in the minutes of the next stated meeting the fact tha,t the funeral has been conducted by the lodge."

He also recommends that any Worshipful Master or Past Master acting as Installing Officer must certify that the newly installed Master is competent to open and close his lodge and cOIlf~r the l~(:. tures of the three degrees in a creditable manner.

We heartily commend the latter suggestion, but as to the former we are not certain; it would certainly prove a great convenience in many cases, but might lead to irregularities and thus discredit our Order. MASONIC HOME.

Tms is a young institution, upon which the fraternity are iaboring with commendable zeal. The Grand Master heartily approves the management of the Board and proceeds to say that the capacity of the Home is already .taxed to the uttern;lOst, and that further accommodation must be provided. This is a condition reported from the great majority of Masonic Homes, and the demand is certain to be more insistent with the process of the years, for the disposition to be cared for, personally, or to shift the burden of our responsibility upon others, is one of the most natural instincts of the human mind. The fact grows upon itself, and it is certain that every Grand Lodge, in process of time, must increase its limitations and determine to hold its dependant family within .certain bounds. The great body of Masons, however sincere and liberal their spirit, are not generally able and will not co~sent to an increasing tax for the support of a Home.

The report on Foreign Correspondence is from the strong pen of Ralph G. McAilaster, P. G. M., 'who, however, wields that pen in a way somewhat unusuaL' That is to say, instead of reviewing the61路lodges whose reports have reached him; 'seriatim, he writes a general discussion of thirty-eight pages, in which he touches the salient points or at least such as appeal to him, and gives personal opinions to run. We have no criticism to make upon, this method, and if satisfactory to the Jurisdiction in question it is certainly all right with us. This method of review, however, doe~ not meet with the general approbation of the guild.

Grand Master and conducted with the usual ceremonies. In the first only a few items of business were transacted. The Grand Master made a brief address, from which we excerpt the following: Life here today is not as it was when I came up nearly twenty years ago. Then everything was crude and primitive; now everything is as advanced in. the way of civilization as possible under the conditions. Then it required courage, to face the unknown fields. them and came out here to homes of many are here and

He reports some twenty visitations and the granting of thirteen dispensations, four of which were to appear at funeral in regalia. This sounds strange to us of the Occident. The Board of Benevolence reported the granting of aid to the amount of 拢96 11s Id to indigent brethren, widows and orphans of various lodges. The general financial conditions were reported as satisfactory. In the Second Quarterly Communication the Grand Master hav路 ing been elevated to the office of Archbishop, received the formal congratulations of the Grand Lodge and responded in fine form. He reported 27 visitations and 15 dispensations, one of which wa~ to initiate a minor, according to a rule which he quotes in support of action. This also seems strange to us. We know of no rUle or law which permits this among the Grand Jurisdictions of the Uniteu States. Touching the war he says: Everyone now, except the Austrians and the Germans, know per-

fectly well that England is not fighting for herself alone, but for those ideals for which the race has been renowned for centuries upon centuries. We believe that we are fighting now for the small against the strong; we are fighting now for our honor, we have pledged our wurd, and an Englishman's word was supposed to be his bond, and, if we had broken our word now, then that old phrase of our race would certainly never be given to us again. We have to fight now on behalf of the people as against an autocracy and militarism, and I cannot understand how some of the other nations of the· world, to whom the result of this war will be just as important as it is to usbecause, if we were to be defeated, they, too, would have their turnI cannot understand how it is that, so far, they have kept out. For myself I cannot possibly see how any self-respecting nation such as ours could have kept away from this terrible war without losing all . our honor and all our claim to manliness.

Awl a good deal more to the same purpose. At the Third Quarterly Communication the usual routine of reports, etc., is attended to and the Grand Master in his brief address uses the following paragraph: Worshipful Brethren and Brethren: I believe the King's motto for the Empire at the present time is "Business as Usual," and although we are at war and our hearts are full of anxiety we Shall try to carryon our business as before, in the hope that after the conflict is over our Fraternity may at least have something to do with the healing 0';' the breach between th~ Ylations.

A l110st worthy sentiment.. He also adds the following, which will be read with interest: FREEMASONRY IN GERMANY.

At the present moment when our thoughts are turn&d towards the battle-ground in Europe it may not be out of place to mal{e some reference to the Craft in Germany and its divided system of government which is often so much of a puzzle to the average Australian Freemason. ,In the German Empire there are no less than eight governing bodies with 533 constituent lodges, together with five independent lodges owing allegiance to no one but themselves. The three old Prussian Grand Lodges are essentially Christian in their teaching and working, and no one, .except ht:: professes the Christian faith, is eligible for admission. On the other hand, the ·five non-Prussian .Grand r:odges require a belief in '1'. G. A. O. '1'. U.-a belief similar to that required by the Grand Lodges of the English-speaking countries. The Craft is said to be a very close corporation in the Fatherland, and to what extent that is so may be judged from the fact that Australia with a five million population has more Freemasons than Germany whose people number sixty-five millions, and this feature becomes still more striking when you consider that the country is a Protestant one.

Referring to the late Earl Roberts he states that he was at his death a Freemason of over sixty years standing and was Senior Grand Warden of the Grand Lodge of England some twenty years ago. The Proceedings at the Annual Communication held April 22nd, 1915, show little of more than local interest. The Grand Master reported a total of 57 official visitations during the year and refers to the fact that when the Grand Lodge was formed in 1900 there were 33 lodges with a .membership of 2,000. Now there are 96 lodges and a membership of 4,119. FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE.

The report on Fraternal Correspondence covers 128 pages in reviewing 54 Grand Lodges. Missouri is reported in kindly terms in two pages. We quote the following: M. W. Bro. Boor waxes quite enthusiastic over the worth and beauty of the Order of the Eastern Star. It may be all you claim for it, Brother, and yet ought not to be looked upon as an assistant and helper to Freemasonry. Surely the oldest secret society in the world, especially one with the glorious objects and powerful support that Freemasonry has, can keep its own flag flying without wind created by an alien organization. Man, as an individual, we know, is under petticoat influence-we all are-and are glad of it, but surely as an organized body we can maintain our independence.

FORTY-FIRST ANNUAL COMMUNICATION.

The Forty-first Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of Ancie,nt, Free and Accepted Masons .of Wyoming was held in the Masonic Temple at Casper, Wyoming, September 8 and 9, 1915, and was opened with the usual ceremonies, accompanied by an address of welcome from a Past Grand Master and the present Mayor of Casper, M. W. Bro. E. P. Rohrbaugh. To this a happy response was made by R. W. Bro. T. Blake Kennedy, Grand Junior Warden, from which we give an extract for its beauty: This ancient and honorable Order has stood for centuries as the exemplar of good citizenship. The winds and storms of adverse criticism have failed to eradicate her temples or obliterate her landmarks. Thousands of the multitude are annually attracted to her , doors, and millions throughout every clime and continent pay homage , at her mystic shrine. She boasts of no religion, Yet she administers relief to humanity as taught by the Christian,religions. She has no schools to inculcate her doctrines to her children, and yet the youth of every community witnesses day by day the good citizenship of her soldiery. Without blare of trumpets or showy street parade, the army of Masonry has silently and for years marched onward in its earthly course, disseminating Truth, Justice and Brotherly Love. She has for centuries stood guard over the erring brother and stretched forth the hand 'of rescue to the fallen brother, Her sons from every niche and corner of an exacting world have been called to pUlpit, bench, hospital, business, trade and profession, and have served with "credit to themselves and honor to the fraternity." ANNUAL ADDRESS.

This Is a worthy business document and we find nothing out of the ordinary in its deliverances. His decisions are all normal and answered without hesitation, except the question as to what relation the Order of the Eastern Star sustained to the Grand Lodge of Idaho. This he wisely-sidestepped! Referring to the law, that the Proceedings must be read in every lodge,- he states that it is generally ignored and praetically impossible to be obeyed, and he therefore suggests that the Grand Secretary be instructed to prepare a small book or folder containing any and all items of interest in the doings of the Grand Lodge and send them out to the lodges. To this we find, no further reference. FRATERNAL COlmESPoNDENCE.

The Fifty-fifth Annual Communication of the York Grand Lodge of l\'Texico was held in the City of Mexico April 1, 1915. Several of the Grand Officers were absent, doubtless owing to the distracted state of the country. The Committee on Credentials reported that fourteen lodges were represented either in person or by proxy and recommended that the Grand Master appoint proxies for those not otherwise represented. Seven Grand Representatives were reported present, and through them the Grand Master sent a message of fraternal greeting to their respective Grand Jurisdictions. THE ANNUAL ADDRESS.

From the annual address we select a few paragraphs which may indicate its spirit and tenor: We are closing a year of unusual interest within our borders, war has been with us -throughout the entire year, many of our countrymen have lost their lives and property, and as Ii. matter of faCt. our Grand Lodge has been a sufferer to a great extent, yet we as Masons bow before Him who rules our destiny-most humbly bow. Hardly had the sound of the gavel dismissing you a year ago died away when about all of our countrymen were hurdled together and escorted to the borders of this Republic for safety and hundreds who left at that time, leaving all of their earthly interests behind, have been unable as yet to return, yet we have been able to hold our organization together and have only suffered the loss of two lodges which have been compelled to surrender their charters as all their members were forced to leave their Jurisdictions.

VISIT TO ST. LOUIS.

The Grand Master reports his visit toSt. Louis in April, 1914, in extended and enthusiastic terms, evidencing his appreciation of various courtesies received. CHARTERS SURlmNDERlm.

Two lodges surrendered their charters during the year, the W):>rshipful Master stating that owing to the condition of the country it was impossible to convene their respective lodges and that it would probably be years before this could be done. They therefore deemed it proper to make. a formal surrender of their charters. Commenting on this the Grand Master states that he thinks the other lodges will be able to continue the work. FINANCIAL.

The Grand Treasurer reports receipts with balance on hand at $4,387.59, with disbursements of $2,541.84, leaving a balance of $1,845.75. The Grand Maste{' was allowed $1,000.00 traveling expenses,

which was certainly liberal under the circumstances. APPOINTMENTS.

Notwithstanding the condition of the country the Grand Master appointed Deputy Grand Masters for each of the twelve districts, as well as the usual standing committees. FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE.

The report on Fraternal Correspondence reviews the Proceedings of 25 Grand Lodges-eight for two years-in forty-one pages, according to Missouri one and a half, in which appears no criticism. He speaks kindly of the Grand Correspondent, for which we tender thanks.

The Fifty-sixth Annual Communication of the York Grand Lodge of Mexico was held in the Masonic Hall, City of Mexico, April 20th, 1916, and was opened in ample form by the Grand Officers, the Grand Senior Warden, Grand Senior Deacon and Grand Secretary being absent and their places filled by appointment. This Grand Lodge insists on a representative for every lodge and in the absence of such duly and legally appointed they proceed to fill the vacancy! A very simple but rather unique way of sec~ring a quorum.

THE ANNUAL ADDRESS

was naturally brief, but well and systematically arranged and full of local interest. Referring to the disturbed conditions in Mexico, . he says: We have been able to hold our organization together so far without any loss of lodges during the past year and all are holding meetings, but many have made no effort to do work. Tampico Lodge No. 10 has made the greatest showing of the year, having conferred 155 degrees, Anahuac Lodge No. 3 comes next, having conferred 96 degrees, and then comes Hidalgo Lodge No. 17, having conferred 36 degrees, and the next best showing was made by Toltec Lodge No.1, having conferred 18 degrees. Four other lodges having conferred 40 degrees between them and eight lodges not having conferred any degrees. With the data at hand we have made a net gain of 65 members during the year after deducting the loss of two lodges that demised who had a membership of 63 between them. This I consider a remarkable fine showing considering the odds that have been against us.

He reports various deaths in other Grand Jurisdictions and that ten of the Grand Lodge of Mexico had passed into the unseen. He quoted the beautiful stanza:

The gates of life swing either way, On noiseless hinges, night and day; One enters through the open door, One leaves us to return no more,' And 'which is happier, which more blest, . God knoweth best.

The Grand Master reports only one decision-to the effect that honorary members must be elected by secret ballot and that the vote must be unanimous. He reports the arrest of a charter for contumacy, but recommends that the case be referred to the incoming Grand Master, with . authority to restore on conditions. ConclUding, he says: Masonry is useful to all men; to the learned because it affords them the opportunity of exercising their talents upon subjects eminently worthy of their attention; to the illiterate, because it presents them with salutary precepts and good examples, and accustoms them to reflect on the proper mode of living; to the man of the world it furnishes with noble and useful recreation; to the traveler, whom it enables to find friends and brothers in countries where else he would be isolated and solitary. '.1.'0 the worthy man in misfortune, to whom it gives assistance; to the afflicted on whom it lavishes consolation; to the charitable man, whom it enables to do more good, by uniting with those who are charitable like himself; and to all who have souls capable of appreciating its importance, and of enjoying the charms of a friendship founded on the same principles of religion, morality and philanthropy.

IMPROVEMENTS TO BE MADE.

The present dining room and dormitory for' the children, including the kitchen and' sewing roocl,' will be made fire proof when the funds for the Improvement Fund are collected, and we hope one year heJ;lce to be able to report this building fully fire proof by that time. COST OF MAINTENANCE.

The 'continued increase cost of' 'everything that enters tnto our homes is also felt to quite an extent in the maintenance of the Masonic Home, and while such is the case, our per,centage per capita shows but a slight increase over the, last year, an~ but two Masonic Homes (of which we have received reports) out of sixteen received show as 'favorable results. They do not keep up and maintain a hospital as we do, hence they have no extra expense that our hospital places upon us. Weare caring for the afflicted, which they have no faci-lities for d.oing, and路 the Masons of this State must have a feeling of pride swelling in their hearts for the liberality of this Grand Lodge, who, in their wisdom, raised the funds to enable the Directors to build and maintain the hospital for our afflicted Brothers and Sisters. ORDER OF THE EASTERN STAR.

As in the past this beautiful Order, composed of the wives and daughters of Master Masons, have continued their 'good work, and under the supervision of Sister Lillie Fletcher, have redecorated the Chapel, the old ladies' and old men's building, and replenished the beds, bedding and mattresses where needed, all out of the funds they have raised, so that none of this expense have the Board been called upon to defray out of the general fund of the Home. The Masons .of this State owe a debt of gratitude to the Order of the Eastern Star for the noble work they have and are doing for our Masonic Home. SUPERINTENDENT.

At the meeting of the Board of Directors one year ago they elected Mrs. Harriet E. Baker Superintendent (having acted as Superintendent after Bro. Baker's death for eight months). The wisdom of their choice has been fully proven by her efficiency and capable management, and worthy of the confidence bestowed. MATRON OF THE OLD PEOPLE.

Mrs. May C. Stevenson resigned February 10, 1916, which was regretted by the Board, and on March 9th, 1916, Mrs. Mabel E. Engel

223

Appendix.

In consulting with others on most every loan, I have placed' a valuation of from $15.00 to $50.00 per acre less than what was estimated by those consulted and find in doing so that no loan is for a greater amount than 50 per cent of the reduced values, as given above. The values as given me by those I consulted were in each case based on what the land was actually selling for, and they were justified in the values they gave me. I also find that the Wells Banking Co. freely mal{e loans on the same property, taking a second路 deed of trust to secure their amount, which gives us a guarantee that our loan will be fully protected by them.

The most careful and personal consideration is given by Brother Campbell W,ells to each loan placed for the Masonic Home, through the Wells Banking Co., and it is to their credit that in the past thirty years they have never been compelled to make a sale to collect any loan they have made. The Masonic Home is fortunate in having the Endowment Funds placed by one who gives the personal attention and care in protecting the Home's interest, as shown by each loan (submitted for the approval of the Trustees of the Endowment Fund) by Brother Campbell Wells. Brother Wells did not accompany me on the examinations of the various loans. IN CONCLUSION: 1: ask that you read carefully each page, which will enable you to fully explain to the Brethren at home the way the Board is handling and guarding the trust you have placed in their hands, and may the blessings of God be upon each giver of good, is my wish. Fraternally submitted, SOL E. WAGGONER, President.

REPORT OF FINANCE COMMITTEE. St. Louis, Aug. 31, 1916. 1'0 the Boar'd of Directors oj the Masonic Home:

Your Finance Committee tegs leave to make the folloi"ing report: On Thursday, the 31st day of August, 1916, the Chairman of the Committee, with W. Brother Sol E. Waggoner, President of the Masonic Home, and one of the Trustees of the Endowment Fund, M. W. Brother John R. Parson, Grand Secretary, and W. Brother W. K. Spinney, 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 box the various papers contained in it and examined them. We found twenty-six loans ranging from $1,000, the lowest, to $12,500, the highest. These loans are all evidenced by notes secured by first deeds of trust qn approved real estate, the title to which in every instance was by the accompanying abstracts and certificates shown to be in the borrower. The deeds of trust are with the papers. These loans aggregate the net principal of $131,375. The accrued interest on all loans has been paid.

In addition to the loans, account of funds with the St. Louis Union Bank shows a balance in its favor, on August 30th, of $1,073.59.

REPORT OF EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. September 1, 1916. Mr. Sol E. Waggoner, President .ot the Masonic Home ot MissQu1"1" St. Louis, Mo. My DI;;AR BUOTHER:

As Chairman of your Executive Committee, I herewith submit my annual report for the fiscal year, ending September 1, 1916. This is necessarily brief, as you have attended all the meetings yourself and are aware that we are proceeding regularly as heretofore in all purchases, taking bids on all which are large, and carefully examining the remainder. Our chief work, other than the regular management of the Home, has been in the way of improvements which were provided :for by the Grand Lodge in the adoption of the Improvement Fund. These consisted of grading, cement sidewalks, covered passageway, new entrance, etc., leaving everything contemplated by the. Grand Lodge practically completed except the fireproofing of the children's building. While the Improvement Fund is now all past due, yet there is quite a sum of it not yet paid. When all is paid, there will probably be not enough to fire-proof this building, owing largely to the great increase in cost of metal and cement, the principal material to be used, since the action taken by the Grand Lodge. As long as the Hospital patients increase in number, we may expect a corresponding increase in expenses. However, the action of the Grand Lodge last year in increasing the per capita tax makes it easy for us to take care of the Ceneral Fund. Fraternally yours, CAMPBELL WELLS, Chainnan Executive Cornrnittee.

REPORT OF HOUSE COMMITTEE. Mr. Sol E. Waggoner, President Masonic Home of Missouri.

Sm AND BROTHER: The House Committee has held its regular meetings, together with the called meetings when occasion found it necessary. At these meetings all matters pertaining to the internal affairs of the Institution were carefully considered and looked after. The Superintendent makes regular report of all matters, even to minute detail, and informs this Board of what is going on. The. past year has been a harmonious one, with occasionally an exception in so far as the peace of the Home family. is concerned. If any misunderstanding originated, it was speedily and satisfactorily adjusted to all parties concerned, so that contentment and good feeling prevails throughout the entire household. Our Home has had the delightful pleasure of being entertained by Moolah Temple Orchestra, Christmas Committee and the various Chapters of the Order of the Eastern Star. Words cannot tell the amount of enjoyment it has afforded the old folks, as well as the young. Sister Engel, recently appointed Matron of the Old People, has given evidence of her efficiency to perform all the requirements of her position, which we feel assured she will do. Our Superintendent, Sister Harriet E. Baker, is, as everyone knows, fully alive to the general management of the Institution; nothing escapes her notice. Her discipline is good, followed by satisfactory results. To the governesses, nurses and all other employes our thanks are due for their faithfulness in the performance of .their various duties, although at times arduous. We also tender our thanks to Brother V. O. Saunders, representing the Grand Lodge as Chairman of the Masonic Home Committee, for his attendance at our meetings, and who, from his storehouse of experience for many years, having served on the Board, has offered his counsel and judgment when important matters come up for consideration.

HOSPITAL REPORT. M1路. S. E. Waggoner, President Masonic Home of Missouri. My DEAR Sm AND BROTHER:

I herewith present you for your information and consideration a statement of services rendered in the Masonic Home Hospital for the year ending September, 1916. The admission into the Hospital connected with the Home is composed of members of the Home family who have become sick. As you well know, that aside from the children who are taken sick' while in the Home, most of the old folks who are received in the Home have become enfeebled by age and previous sickness prior to their admission into the Home, and are here to spend their reclining days only waiting for the messenger. Our facilities for t.aking care of them have so increased in the past year that we have very little difficulty now in providing for their comfort. We have been very fortunate in that no serious epidemic has invaded our Home, especially among the children. While it is true that in the early spring of this year we had quite a number of cases of measles, which taxed our capacity and crowded our nurses with work, but with gratitude we are enabled to record no serious consequences. In this connection I am reminded 路of the urgent need of an additional building to be known as an isolation department for infectious and contagious diseases. Should an epidemic of some sort break out, and we are compelled to distribute the cases throughout. 路the building, it would contaminate the entire Hospital if we had no other place-to locate them. The material assistance, which is given the Hospital in the way of furnishings,decorations, etc., by the ladies of the Order of the Eastern' Star,through their representatives, Sisters Barney, Moore and Fletcher, cannot be overestimated, and it will not be necessary forme to mention in detail their good work. I wish to thank the nurses for their patience and activity shown in the performance of their manifold duties, and especially wish to offer my thanks and appreciation to Dr. Louis H. Behrens, cons!Ilting physician; Dr. W. B. Shields, ear, nose and throat; Dr. H. M. Moore, consulting surgeon; Dr. Walter R. Hewitt, consulting surgeon; Dr. M. L. Kleinfelter, fractures and .dislo.cations; Dr. A. Ravold, consulting bacteriologist; Dr. W. W. Graves, consulting mental and nervous diseases; Dr. E. P. North, oculist, who are eminent in

REPORT OF ATTORNEYS. September 1, 1916. Sol E. Waggoner, Esq., President of the 1l1asonic Home of Missouri, 5351 Delmar A venue, St. Louis. DEAR SIR AND BROTHER:

I hereby submit to you my report as attorney for the year ending September 1, 1916. Since my last annual report to you, dated September 8th, 1915, there have been two suits instituted against the Masonic Home, to-wit: First, a suit in the Circuit Court of the City of St. Louis, Mo., by Earl Rogers against the Masonic Home and Francis Harris for the recovery of a small house and lot on which it is situateo, located in the City of St. Louis, estimated to be worth about one thousand dollars ($1,000.00), which was left to the Home by the last will and testament of Brother Claude Huntington. It is claimed in the petition in that case that the deceased by written instrument agreed to convey this property to him, upon his parents rendering certain services to Brother Huntington, during his lifetime. This suit is now pending in the Circuit Court in the City of St. Louis, and will likely be tried some time this fall or winter. Second: Mrs. Eliza Fulton, of Parkville, Platte County, Mo., died in California on th.e 2nd day of January, 1916, leaving a last will and testament by which she created a trust fund of thirty-five thousand dollars ($35,000.00) and one hundred dollars ($100.00) of

the income therefrom to be paid to her daughter during her lifetime, and after her death this fund with, the accumulation, was devised to the Masonic Home of Missouri. The daughter and her husband afterwards instituted a suit in the United States. District Court in Kansas City to set aside this will on the grounds of the incapacity of the testatrix to make the will and undue influence. Depositions have been taken in this case at several points in Texas and in California, and other depositions will have to be taken i"n California and Denver, Colo., before the case will be ready for trial. It wiII likely be tried some time this fall or winter. Third: There are no other cases pending in which the Masonic Home is a party or interested. I have, however, during the last year disposed of a. number of small matters which have been reported, from time to time, to, the Board of Directors. Fourth: I hereby submit, in pursuance of your request, a brief form of a will for the use of any parties who may desire to remember the Home in his or her last will and testament. It is as follows: Know all men by these presents, that 1. , of sound and dispcsing 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 Mason Home of Missouri, a corporation organized and existing under and in pursuance of the laws of the State of Missouri, the sum of .' . ($ ) Dollars. (Testator may also 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 , 191 .. . (Seal) Signed, sealed, published and declared by the above-named .............................. as and for his last will and testament in the presence of us, who, at his request, and in his presence, and in the presence of each other, have subscribed our names as witnesses thereto on this the day of 191 . At the time of the signing of the same the said . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Testator, was of sound and disposing mind.

According to the law of our State it is absolutely necessary that the signature of the testator be witnessed by two witnesses. I think it better to have three. Yours fraternally, â&#x20AC;˘ DORSEY A. JAMISON.

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

BRETHREN: Again we are called upon to make our :tnnual report of the work accomplished for the Masonic Home by the Eastern Star. In this larg"e and commodious house there is always something waiting to be done. This year special attention has been given to the interior decorations and refurnishing of the old people's building. The Hospital also received its share of attention, and many comforts and necessities have been added to the various departments. The Chapel is being redecorated and made ready for the fall services. Hoping to create a greater interest in the Home, and give the members throughout the State some idea of our Home and family, we have had a book made showing views of the various buildings, both interior and exterior, together with groups of our family and photographs of the Directors. These books have been made at considerable expense, and it is our intention to sell them to the delegates to Grand Lodge and Grand Chapter, who will thus be enabled to take back to their Lodges and Chapters a va~uable souvenir which will give them some conception of the great work being done with their assistance at the Masonic Home. Owing to prolonged illness, Mrs. Moore, one of the faithful members of our Board, has been unable to take an active part in the work for several months. We have missed her wise counsel and we hope for her a speedy recovery. Mrs. Baker, our Superintendent, as ,vell as Mrs. Engel, Matron of the Old People, are rendering valuable service and giving their best efforts to the work of the Home. The .f\.dvisory Board are grate- " ful for the uniform kindness, courtesy and consideration shown them by the Board of Directors. In looking back over the fourteen years in which the Eastern Star has been identified in this great work, we find cause for rejoicing when we see the wonderful improvements that have been wrought. If so great a good ~as been accomplished in the past, what with continued effort and pers~verence may not the future ]:lOld in store! May Heaven's richest blessing rest upon those who are contributing in any way to the comfort and happiness of our Home family. Respectfully submitted, MATTIE P. BARNEY, LOUISA J. MOORE, LILLIE L. FLETCHER.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT. My report will be brief, as I have given you our daily life each week in the Masonic Home Notes. My part in this God-given and God-directed work is a genuine pleasure to me, and I hope happiness to those I am trying to serve. We all have so much to be grateful for in this Hqme, where the Board of Directors are ever alert to make all comfortable and supply the needs of each. One must visit the Home to fully realize the real meaning of the words Love and Contentment, abounding in this big faJPily. CHAPEL SERVICES.

Our Chapel services are well attended, each Sunday bringing to us a differe~t Lodge or Eastern Star Chapter to hold the service, and one is well repaid by attending, if only to hear the children sing. °

THE CHILDREN.

The children take great pride in their school records, and vie with each other to bring in· the best report, and each. year their efforts are rewarded. We have sixteen children attending the Soldan High School, four .boys in the Rankin School of Trades, and the rest of the children attend the Clark School. The children are fond of outdoor sports, and we have teams of bOaseball, football and basket-ball. They all attend Sunday School, Church and Christian Endeavor, teaching them that all good comes from God, and we cannot be too grateful for all the blessings given us in this grand Home. HOSPITAL.

The Masonic Hospital is surely a haven of rest to the sick and afflicted ones who have come for us to minister and to be made as comfortable as our efficient Dr. Robinson and splendid nurses and attendants can make them, and when God calls some of our members we try to make their going easy to bear. In this brief letter I cannot begin to tell all the ~cts of kindness shown our Home family. °

OLDER MEMBERS.

While the Matron writes of the older people of our Home, I want to tell the Masons in this State of Missouri how truly the old people appreciate all that is being' done for their comfort and happiness.

236

Appendix.

[Sept.

Their rooms are furnished with good furniture; they have practical food to make them well and healthy, and all thank the Masons for their home in the Masonic Home of Missouri. ENTERTAIN 1\1 I':NTS.

So many entertainments are given the old people by the Past Matrons' and Patrons' ClUb, who are untiring in their efforts to give them pleasure. They have strawberry feasts, auto rides and musicales each month during the cooler months. The Christmas Committee never tires of doing some act of kindness for the Home family, old and young, beginning Christmas and continuing all year, in the way of gifts for Christmas, circus, boat rides and other pleasures, too numerous to mention. The Order of t.he Eastern Star never forget the Home family and their gifts are so practical to our needs. God bless the Order of the Eastern Star. DONATIOXS.

I cannot go into detail of the many satisfactory donations given us during the year, but a list of all donations will be fund in another part of my report. REPAIRS.

The rooms in the old Brothers' building have had numerous repairs, and a thorough renovation, and have been refurnished by the Advisory Board, who represent the O. E. S. in our State., . EMPLOYES.

I must give all the employes in this Masonic Home credit for their share in the success of the Home, for all are devoted and faithful to their trust. Mrs. Engel, Matron of the Old People, who came to us March 15th of this year, is beloved by all, and is kind and thoughtful of those in her charge. HONORABLE BOARD OF DIRI<:CTORS.

Each member of the Board has the interest of this Home in their hearts, and their acts of kindness and patience with the trying conditions which confront them gives us all the knowledge that God and Good is their watch word.

LETTER TO THE GRAND, LODGE F'ROM THE MATRON OF THE OLD PEOPLE. Having been an enthusiastic member of the Order of the Eastern Star, since joining that beneficent Order fifteen years ago, I was most delighted to begin my v..· ork as Matron of the Old People on the morning of March 15th. Sister Baker, the Superintend.ent, introduced me to my numerous charges in the dining room. In .looking over that assembly of one hundred and twenty-six strange faces, I wondered if I should ever learn the names and personalities of each individual, as I wanted to learn and know these dear old people en· trusted to my care. In a surprisingly short time I knew each and everyone of them, who have become very dear to me. I have learned each one's accustomed place at the table, and regret exceedingly when one is temporarily missing from his 01' her usual place, and a few have been permanently removed from our midst. In our large, cool dining room we have fourteen tables, seating nine· at each table, with one lady pre.siding at the head and two assistants. After breakfast we have a short devotional, conducted by the Matrons, in which all join. Then the dishes are washed and tables put in order for the next meal. After this duty has been discharged some of our ladies go to the sewing room, where they assist in making clothes for the children and members of the Horne who are unable to sew for themselves. Others are busy mending for the Infirmary and the· Home; all are busy who are able to "lighten the burdens of others". Leading to the dining room, which is in the Hospital, we have a covered passageway, which is light, cool and airy, having comfortable chairs scattered t.hrough it, where one may drop down and rest on his way to the old people's building. Thus, in summer and in stormy days of winter, our old people are protected from the hot, beaming rays of the sun and the bitter cold winds of the stormy season. In the old people's building, which is steam-heated and c'omfortable in every way, there are forty-seven rooms for men and fifty for women, all of which are occupied. At present we have eight couples, men and their wives, spending their last days together, surrounded by every comfoi·t and care they require. All in this building care for their own rooms, with the exception of a thorough cleaning, when needed, by a colored man. Porches on this building in different directions enable our old people to enjoy

the shade and breezes at suitable times during the day. They have beautiful sun parlors and reception rooms, in which are easy chairs, a piano and bookcases, filled with books, all of which contribute to their comfort and happiness. Here they visit with each other and enjoy themselves. \V';hen illness or infirmity overtakes our old people they are immediately taken to the Hospital, where trained nurses are installed to care for them under the able and efficient instructions of Dr. A. C. Robinson. In this beautiful building are five large wards, sun parlors and a ward for boys and one also for girls. There are twenty private rooms, each accommodating bvo persons. Stairs are eliminated in the Hospital; inclined floors afford an easy and comfortable substitute, on which our invalids' chairs can be wheeled to any part of the building, and down into the yard for air and recreation. It affords me much pleasure to spend an hour in the early morning with our dear afflicted Sisters and Brothers, 路to pause a while with each one who cannot leave his or her room and some confined to their beds, and exchange a cheery "Good morning" and what words of comfort and sympathy I can. It lifts one's ,own burdens to witness the patient, gentle fortitude of our unfortunate sufferers and to realize I have contributed crumbs of comfort to their .long days, which is both a pleasure and a delightful duty. If our Sisters and Brothers throughout the State could spend a day with me in my round of duties they would rejoice over our wonderful Home the good Masons have made possible for those who find "the spring has less of brightness and the shores of life shifting seaward every year". The numerous Lodges and O. E. S. Chapters of St. Louis are untiring in their efforts to contribute to the comfort and happiness of our people. The Past Matrons' and Patrons' Club gave us most enjoyable entertainments. The spring entertainment, given in the dining room, which was specially decorated with artificial birds and flowers, was particularly enjoyed by the old people. Moolah Orchestra very kindly favored us with a very fine concert. Our good friends in Ferguson gave us a most delightful picnic in June. Sixty-two of our old people were made happy with the songs and readings, given impromptu for their entertainment, and most ample justice was given the bountiful country dinner, served under the trees. In Mrs. Baker I have a true friend, counselor and adviser, always willing and happy to assist. me in any way, and constantly on the alert to increase the comfort and happiness of those associated with her. Am truly grateful for her support and companionship. My short acquaintance with the Honorable Board has been very

Many happy experiences have come to me through my stewardship as路 Matron of the Old People, which will long be treasured and looked back upon with tenderest recollections. Trusting our Heavenly Father will lead me faithfully on in this good work I most earnestly desire to accomplish, I am, Fraternally, MABEL E. ENGEL, MatTon of the Old People.
