Altogether the Masonic census of the world, counting every grade. and order, WIll no doubt exceed two and one-half millions. - Not more than three hundred thousand can be counted in foreiF;n lands-possibly much less-and many. of these so-called Grand Lodges are not recognized by us.

REPORT ON CORRESPONDENCE. To the Most Worshipful Grand" Master, Wardens and Brethren of the Grand Lodge of the State of Missouri: I herewith present you my Annual Report on Correspondence, with the hope that it may be received with the same kindly consideration as in the past, and that any deficiencies or other faults, your judgment m~iy discover, will be overlooked or pardoned. .Every volume of Proceedings, coming to my table, has met with respectful examination, and any item of special interest carefully. collated. Besides ..these we have here given, we have added many selections from the best minds in the Masonic World, always strong and generally beautiful. Also I have reprinted extracts fiom sources not available to .roe, but which ~re doub.tless reliable and authentic, regarding French and German Masonry. Comparatively few comments will be found in the volume and no homiletic discussion of a personal character, as I have preferred to occupy the limited space alloted me with matter of' greater value. In completing the work of the year, and while disabled by temporary illness. I have been greatly assisted by my friend, Rev. Arthur Mather, D. D., who, in reading the proof, apd also in reviewing several later volumes, has exhibited the same skill and ability which have distinguished him in other fields of endeavor; we tender him our sincere thanks.

ALABAMA. 1920 1919 Robert S. Teague, G. M. Percy B. Dixon, G. M. Re-elected Geo. S. Beauchamp, G. S. Oliver D. Street Grand Correspondent Lodges, 558. Members, 37,217 Gain, 4,679. ANNUAL COMMUNICATION.

The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of Alabama commenced its Ninety-ninth Annual Communication in the Masonic Temple in the City of Montgomery, on the morning of Wednesday, at Iiine o'clock, on the third day of December, A. D. 1919, A. L. 5919. Attendance good and the opening exercises as usual. Three hundred and eighty-nine lodges of the five hundred and fifty-eight were represented. THE ANNUAL ADDRESS.

This covers more than twenty-one pages in a carefully arranged statement of the work and incidents of the administration and opens with a fine discussion of world conditions. From this we select: The tension of the war and the relaxations that followed has accelerated the reactionary movements already in progress, and it will not be surprising if the tendency is to an unwise and detrimental extreme. Strong men accustomed to conflict, hardened by discipline, grown ruthless as to methods and careless as to consequences, may, perhaps, go to the extreme of atheism and anarchy, with violent revolution as their ultimate object, but these are the minority. The masses, nerve worn and exhausted of spirit, will gladly cast aside, for a time, the sense' of personal responsibility and even of . duty, and will be content to walk in paths that present the fewest difficulties. In religion, for instance, they will listen to the voice that speaks with seeming authority rather than to the stern dictates of reason, and yield to that form of religion or church which offers its consolations at the cheapest rate. The pride and the necessities路 of the strong and self-reliant are personal路 service, reasoned conduct of life and freedom of conscience" but men w~rn to the raw with pitiless grindings will shirk the onerous requirements involved in the retention of such soul possessions. Whatever the masses may surrender to, there will yet remain those who are trained to .think, and who will not under any conditions forego their mental habits, and these will, in the meantime, surely submit every institution to the most searching analysis. Neither governments, churches, nor frater'nities will be exempt, whether upon the plea of necessity, or sanctity, or antiquity.

Against them all will be brought the indictment, in many counts, that they failed utterly, in time of crisis, to perform that part for the weal of humanity that they were designed to take. . Against government, that it allowed dynastic interests or special privileges, whether of capital or labor, to prevail against the welfare of the Whole people; that its systems of diplomacy were worthless in that they brol{e down utterly in the face of national jealousies and greed.

The Grand Master presents two decisions; one to the effect that when a Master Mason's daughter ma1'ries a profane, she loses all Masonic rights, and the other to the effect that where there are .two candidates for initiation or advancement, the ballot must be separate. (Of course!) NEW LODGES.

Eight 'lodges were created by Dispensation and three under sl!.spension were permitted to resume labor. A PLEASANT EPISODE.

A Mississippi Lodge having invited one from Alabama to make a special visit and confer degrees it was accepted. The occasion being recognized in a special resolution of apprecaition. The Grand Master was· liberal in his interpretations of the law with-r.eference to maimed candidates. This was kind but doubtless the tendency is to go too far in that direction. The sympathies created by the war and its havoc may lead to unhappy results in the· future. H.F]COGNITION OF OTHER GRAND LODGES.

Doubtless because of. the agitation with reference to French Masonry, the committee on correspondence was ordered by the last Grand Lodge to collect information and report to the Grand Lodge as to the principles and moral status of the various Grand 'Lodges of the. world. not now recognized by this Grand Lodge. The an~ swering report was long and interesting.. We can only present here the fact that the committee reported adversely to the recognition of Norway and Sweden. In co-ordination with this was the resolution presented and adopted by the Grand Lodge, which the Grand Secretary was M· .rectcd to send out to all .the lodges. We append a copy: "DECLARATION OF MASONIC FAITH AS TO GOD AND THE ·HOLY BIBLE!'

.A. We believe in God, that He is the Father of us all and that . He is .-the Creator of Heaven and Earth and all things therein. We believe, as we teach, that we should reverence and adore Him and im-

plore His aid in all our laudable unde.rtakings, and esteem Him as the Chief Good. B. "\\T e believe, as we teach that no atheist can be made a Mason, and that no ope should be made. a Mason without a profesison of belief in God. _ C. We路 cannot affiliate, masonically, with one who denies the existence of God. D. We believe that the Holy Bible, the First Great Light in Masonry, is more than a symbol. We believe, as we teach, that the Holy Bible, sometimes in our work called the "Holy Scriptures," and sometimes called the "Holy Writings," is the inestimable gift of God to man; that Masonry' has accepted this gracious and divine gift as containing an expression of God's Will, and that its precepts are the rule and guide to our faith in God, and our unerring guide in the discharge of our -duties to God, our neighbor and ourselves. E. We believe that God and the Holy Bible are essential to Masonry. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE.

THIRTY -SEVENTH ANNUAL COMMUNICATION.

The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Free and Accepte.d Masons. of Arizona commenced its Thirty-seventh Annual Communication in the Masonic Hall of Aztlan Lodge No. 1 in the City of Prescott on Tuesday, the 11th day of F:ebruary, A. D. 1919, at 10 0' clock A. M. Opened with usual ceremonies. The absence of the Grand Master on account of serious and prolonged illness was recognized with appropriate resolutions of sympathy. The Deputy Grand Master presided over the session with most intelligent ability and was honored by election to the Grand East for the next year. THE ANNUAL ADDRES_S.

Nothing unusual presents itself in this, which is conventional throughout. The Grand Master rec~gnized the honor. conferred on

him in the Dosition he occupies-regrets exceedingly his inability to be pres~nt and proceeds to recite the various more important facts that have marked his year of administration. DISPENSATIONS.

He humbly confesses that having issued many within his prerogative, yet owing to the serious pressure brought on him because of war emergencies, he has in some instances overstepped the' bounds of the law. (The committee approved ~is action in every case.) FOREIGN RELATIONS.

The Grand Master recommended th~e recognition of the French Grand Lodge, and regretting that his health does not permit him to argue the matter he yet gives the following which is in itself an argument: I would state, however, in this connection, that Louisiana; California, Kentucky, Utah, New Jersey, Florida, Texas, Georgia, Alabama, Iowa, and possibly others, have renewed or entered into fraternal relations with the two French bodies within the last year or two.

And the Committee on Jurisprudence, to whom this was referred, evade the responsibility very gracefully, even if not in, accordance 'Yith our ideas, thusly: That this Grand Lodge never entered into fraternal relations with either of the three above mentioned bodies, nor have we ever severed fraternal relations with any of the Masonic Bodies of France. There is nothing before this committee to show that either of the above named bodies has asked for recognition by us. Your committee knows of nothing in our laws, edicts or constitution, that prevents our brethren from visiting French Lodges, nor anything that prohibits our Lodges from receiving a brother M: M., who owes aIle·, giance to a French Grand Body, and your committee, therefore, offers the following resolutions: i. If there be found in the archives of this Grand'- Lodge a request for recognition from the Grand Orient of France, or the' Grand Lodge of France, or if such request be hereafter made, the Grand Master is authorized and empowered to declare this Grand Lodge to be, in fraternal relations with the Grand Orient of France, or the Grand Lodge of France, and to exchange Grand Representatives, if desired. 2. That permission is hereby given to all brothers of our obedience to hold Masonic communication with any regular Lodge of 1<'ree Masons in France, and Lodges of this' jurisdiction arc enjoined 'to receive and welcome all regular Brother M. M. hailing from a regular Lodge in F'rance.

We are not sure, but think that the list given by the Grand Master may with propriety be extended, as others, besides these

have actually, or practically, recognized the Grand Orient. and perhaps the other Grand Bodies of France. Missouri, however, is not among them! FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE.

Grand Lodge of F. & A. Masons of the state of Arkansas. met at its 'Seventy-eighth C,?m.munipation, in the Conyention Hall of the Hotel Marion, in the City of Little Rock, on Tuesday, the 18th day of November, A. D. 1919, the·same being the third Tuesday of November, at the hour of 10 o'clock of said day, and was opened with ample form. THE ANNUAL ADDRESS.

From the opening paragraph we quote the following: When last we assembled, a bright ray of hope permeated the Grand Lodge. The armistice had been signed, the foe had been conquered, we were anxiously awaiting the return of "Our Boys" and we had every reason to believe that ere this peace and harmony would prevail throughout the world, but life is made up largely of disappointments. Instead of peace, we have the opposite in our own b'eloved land and the ~question is being asked; "Shall the voices of Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and Roosevelt be melted in the furnac~ of hell?" The answer comes back no, a thousand times, no. God has at all times chosen a vessel with or in which to carry out His purposes. He has left His designs upon the trestle board. Will we execute them? This Government was established and her Constitution written in the blood of Masons. It is alike sacred to every Mason. God put it into the minds of great Masons to establish this Government, for freedo:r'n of thought, freedom of speech and freedom of worship, and today the blood of our 'fathers is crying out from the tomb: warning us of approaching danger. The sign

, -o-f, distress has been given. Will we immediately fiy to the relief of the ones giving it? What means this unrest?' For the first and only time in the history of this country has the National Legisla, ture been told, "If you pass a certain law, we will disobey it." Let us ask ourselves' these questions: What is the cause of this unrest? Who is spreading this destructive propaganda? Brethren, I am truly glad that the first charge given to a Mason is clothed in this language: "In the State you are to be, a quiet and peaceable citizen, true to your Government, and just to your country, you ar~ not to countenance disloyalty or rebellion, but patiently submit to legal authority and conform with cheerfulness to 'the Government of the countr~ in which you live," yielding obedience to the laws which afford you protection. Upon the two and one half millions of Masons of these United States rests the future of this nation. Disregard the responsibility and this Republic, together with 'all of its _free institutions, will go the way of Rome and Babylon. As Masonry, was the chosen vessel to preserve the Great Light through the dark ages, it seems that the day is fast approaching, when, it will again be called UI)On to pr'eserve not only the Great Light; but also to perpetuate the Constitution of these United States and their free institutions. The World War has brought us face to face with this proposition. The future alone can tell how well we have nursed the charge intrusted to our care and keeping. MASONIC TEMPLE DESTROYED BY FIRE.

Speaking of this the Grand Master said: On the morning of August 28th ,I was o,fficially notified that our beautiful Temple had' been completely destroyed by fire, and many valuable records had been lost. We are pleased to report that we were partially covered by insurance in this loss. I shall refrain from making any recommendations as to our future disposition of the lot upon which the Temple stood. Well do I remember the first time that I ever visited the Grand Lodge, which I 'believe was in 1893, soon after the dedication of the Temple, and I also remember how we, who hailed from the rural districts, criticised the committee, who had the building of the Temple in charge, for placing it out in the country. But time has shown the wisdom of that committee. This corner has become like the "Stone rejected by the Builders," the chief corner of the city. And yet it does seem that the noise of the busy throngs of people around this corner renders it unsuitable for another Temple.

The Grand Master reports a number of Decisions which are, however, of local interest only. also reports two cases of Discipline, one of which involved the arresting of a lodge's charter, and the other the suspension' of a W. M.

Of the arrested charter and the circumstances surrounding it he says: It will be remembered by a goodly number of this Grand Lodge that this Lodge has been troublesome for several years. Believing

An Emergent Communication was held in the City of Vancou,:er, November 28, 1918, for the purpose of paying funeral honor to M. W. James A. Stark, P. G. M. . Another Emergent Communication was held at the same. place, January 16th, and was largely attended-the question of interest being as to whether the' charter of Arrowsmith Lodge, under suspension, should be revoked. After waiting a day for the arrival of . the officers of the lodge and after hearing their statements, on the second day, it was decided to continue, the suspension until the meeting of the Grand Lodge-which we may add here, finally revoked the charter. The Grand Master seems to have treated this case with great courtesy ap.d kindness. THE ANNUAL ADDRESS.

We can scarcely grasp the tremendous significance, nor understand the completeness of this great victory which has c9me to us through the mercy of the Great Architect of the Universe; to know that the brutal force of autocracy has been crushed and beaten by the higher forces of civlization and humanity; that the arch-criminal's vain-glorious dream of world. domination has ended in defeat and humiliation and that out of the travail and bloodshed and, desecration is born a new freedom for all the people of the world. Our hearts go out in joyous .welcome to the boys who have, or will, come back, and our tears and prayers for those who will not return. Following the signing of the armistice, I issued a request that the fraternity throughout the Whole jur'isdictlon attend Divine service for the purpose of general thanksgiving; this was carried into effect on Sunday, the 8th of December, 1918.

1920.]

The prayer of the Grand Chaplain, Rev. Edgar F. Gee, was most impressive. PRAYER. Supreme Rule.r of the Universe! We have assembled in Thy name and presence. Do Thou guide and direct us in all our proceedings. In our deliberations may we seek only Thine honor and the advancement of those sublime principles upon which our Institution is founded. Remove from us all selfish and u'lterior motives. May, the Divine Wisdom enlighten our minds and direct our wills that we may perceive and know what things we ought to do, and grant us power to exemplify in our daily lives those virtues which shall ever render our service acceptable unto Thee. Ble~8, we beseech Thee, the Grand Master and,other officers throughout this jurisdiction. Especially at this time would we remember .the President of these Unit~d States. If it be Thy will, restore him to his former health. Endue him plenteously with Thy heavenly gifts. Grant him, to his Cabinet, to the Senate and Representatives in Congress 'assembled, wisdom in national and international affairs, that those serious problems now under their consideration m;:ty be settled upon the best and surest foundations, that peace and happiness, truth and justice, righteousness and Thy will may be established on earth as it is in heaven. May harmony prevail in all our cou'nsels,' and brotherly love rule in 'each of our hearts. Direct us in the way of truth, and ,at last bring us all. to that temple not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. Amen.

â&#x20AC;˘

The address of the Grand Master indicates the hand of a man of affairs as well as a thorough Mason. It is quite long but contains nothing irrelevant or seemingly unnecessary. We quote a few paragraphs: It. was then, with almost a feeling of stupefaction, that when the armistice was signed, early in November, we realized that the feared and hated German machine had collapsed, and that the mighty menace, War, no longer was to be feared, if the problems arising from that condition were rightly and w'isely faced and handled. But it was no light or conventional task, which the leaders of civilization faced in the attempt to'restore order out of chaos, and to so' handle' the situation that a just and lasting peace might ensue. If such were the difficulties and perplexities attending the leaders of forty nations, it is no unjust thing to say that such were the' difficulties of the world and humanity as a whole. How much more significant' and important was the responsiblity resting upon that great humanitarlan Institution of which this grand jurisdiction was and' is a component part. \

Furtheron, referring to the ,unrest and crime so prevalent throll~hout the country, he says: We ,will not soon forget the wave of horror and indignation which swept this nation, and especially this state, when it became

known, that our distinguished Past Grand Master Oscar Lawler and his family had been made the victims of a dastardly and murderous bomb attack upon their home in the dead of night, and that as 掳a result, not only had his home been wrecked, but he and his wife had received painful and dangerous injuries, which seriously threatened the lives of ,both. It was at fiTst thought that this outrage had been perpetrated at the instance of some of the organized forces of disorder and anarchy, which are so rampant at the present time, and realizing that our brother had at various times been especially active in the prosecution of these miscreants in the discharge' of his official duties, we felt, therefore, that in addition to expressing our Masonic and personal sympathy, it was incumbent upon us as Masons to lend, s.ubstantial a.ssistance to the ferreting out of the instigators of the crime. I therefore wired the authorities at Los Angeles on behalf of the Grand Lodge, and offered a reward of $5000.00 for the arrest and c~>nviction of the criminals. Subsequent events seeming to establish the fact that the crime was the work of a disgruntled and ill-balanced man, who committed suicide when his guilt was about to be fastened upon him, and being advised that similar offers on the part of the authorities路 and other organizations had been withdrawn, I authorized the withdrawal of this offer.

VISIT TO ENGLAND.

In response to the invitation of tiie Grand Lodge of England to attend its Peace Jubilee, the Grand Master, unable to go in person, commissioned R. W. John Whicher, Grand Secretary, as his proxy, whose repnrt to the Grand Lodge is of a most interesting character, giving not only a ~iew of the splendid hospitality accorded to the visitors during the week of the exercises but also an extended revelation of the magnificent scale on which English Masonry is conducted, especially as to its wonderful charities. MASONIC HOMES.

The Grand Master alludes to the satisfactory condition of the two Homes, since the reorganization of the Boards; also to the sat, r'isfactory progress of 'the drive for a million dollar endowment, but insists that something must be done in the matter of maintenance. The Grand Lodge finally enacted by resolution and amendment, that every candidate for initiation hereafter should pay' the sum of twenty dollars in addition to fees for initiation. Also that every one affiliating should pay the same amount. GERMAN SPEAKING LODGES.

in the lodge became insubordinate because Herman Lodge in San Francisco was not required to change to the English and was reported as路 giving trouble. The Grand Master suggested that all路 lodges should be required to use the English but the committee, agreeing as to the future, recommended that no change should be permitted in Acacia Lodge, but that-especially in justice to French and Italian Lodges in San Francisco-unquestionably loyal, no change should be made at present. So Herman Lodge continues to be German. LARGE LODGES.

Alluding to the fact that there are more than .twenty lodges in the jurisdiction with more than 500 members, the Grand Master. wisely says that there should be more lodges and less ritualistic work~ to the end that the social and educational features of the order be preserved. REPORT ON CORRESPONDENCE.

This covers 142 pages and is not conventional in character but possibly more valuable, in that Bro. Whited gives a symposium of opinions from many Grand Lodges, on current subject. The report in fact impresses us as so worthy th~t we would be glad could every Mason read its路 every paragraph; And to compensate in some manner for this deprivation we append herewith his selection and discussion on the subject of GERMAN SPEAKING LODGES. GERMAN MASONS. There are good and bad in all things. Masonry owes something to ,the Germany of the far past, as set forth by Brother Baird of the District of Columbia, but nothing to the llreScnt ltlasonry of GcrInany, as Indicated under VerUlont. District of Columbia:

Neither the ancestors nor the successors of the present German autocracy should be held responsible for the sins of the present Kaiser. His grandmother was the grand anJl great Queen Victoria. His father was a Mason and a man of amiable disposition, while his . grandfather was Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse, who was a Mason and was greatly admired. More than that, a greatuncle was Frederick the Great, an enthusiastic Mason, who wrote the ritual of the 33d degree which we are now using. And let us not forget that George III, who, by the way, was a German, finq.ing the war of the revolution so unpopular in England, was obliged to go to Hesse Darmstadt and Hesse Kassel to hire soldiers to come here and fight the Colonists, but when Frederick the Great was informed of it he not o~IY put a

'stop to it but made a treaty with France not to molest France while the French were. helping the Colonists, and still more he sent a portrait to Washington with this message, "From the oldest General in the world, to'the greatest," Molly Pitcher, who served 'the gun in the battle at Trenton, was a German girl. Baron Von Steuben, who shaped Washington's army, was a German and a Mason. Carl Schurz, who was Mr. Lincoln's Secretary of the Interior, and who was such a comfort 'to Mr. Lincoln, was also German. So let us not be led into the sophistry that all Germans are like that praying Mantis, Wilhelm der Zartlieb, who caused the ope;a of "The Magic Flute" (composed by Brother Mozart) to be purged of all Masonic inference before he would permit its rendition in' Berlin. â&#x20AC;˘ In Germany's war with France in 1871, during the reign of Kaiser Wilhelm der Gr'o'sse, persons and property were respected, but in the war just finished outrages unparalleled were :not checked. Iowa:

We cannot look upon the German as a mentally sound villain who in cold blood makes a malicious attack upon us, but only as a poor, misguided lunatic, whose madness alone makes him a menace, and who because of his madness must be seized and h~ld until he regains ,his right mind and becomes harmless. We go into this war not with a hatred for the German-for there must never be any American "Hymn of Hate"-butwith a sense of the terrible pity that his madness should have made it necessary for us to make war upon him at all. Verlnont:

In support of his position he quotes from a German pUblicationas folloV'(s: "The Masonry of Germany alone," writes a German newspaper, "deserves esteem' and respect." "The war," says a German writer, "has taught us that the Masonry, of our country must become exclusively national. It must wear' a German dress, and have a German character. It must renounce every connection with the World's Masonry." "The war," says another German journalist, "has destroyed all idea of Masonfc Internationalism. International Masonry has become bankrupt. This opinion is general in all German lodges. Masonic Cosmopolitanism is, therefore, a fiction. German Freemasonry has no need of the 'International,' which has nothing to offer it." "The so-called English Masonry, Which made such a boisterous entrance into the world in 1717, ,notwithstanding its unimportance, was very different from what we German Masons represent to ourselves as models of virtue. It was a very narrow-and very English-organization which had absolutely no thought of a union of humanity. "Latin Masonry does not possess a single spark of the Masonic spirit. Our Masonic idea is truly German, or, in a wider sense-Germanic. English Masonry is nothing but vanity and sport; in it there is no trace of our spiritual comprehension. In France, Masonry works in politics, to Which it sacrifiees the g-reat part of its activity. Inter..

national Mas6nry is dead, and, notwithstanding all efforts to the contrary, will remain dead.- Let us, therefore, be German Freemasons and work in our own way." Wisconsin I

These views may be the extreme views of individual.German Masons and not fairly represent the feelings or the great body of the Craft in that country. We hope this is the case. Every Mason must render true allegiance to his flag and country. If the fortunes of war should bring. Wisconsin Masons into intimate contact with Masons fighting under the flag of_an enemy, nevertheless we hope they will remember that though they may speak a foreign tongue and through the hatred engendered by conflict shall have repudiated the ties of universal Freemasonry, that they are still Brethren who have knelt "at the same altar and have become bound to us by ties of fraternalism that can never be repudiated or laid aside, and that so far as is consistent with duty to our flag and country, the principles of brotherly lov~ may prevail l?-nd ameliorate so far as possible the horrors and hardships of the conflict. GERMAN SPEAKING LODGES. 'VitI. ,'cry. few excelltions, during the ,var lodges using the German language in their work "oluntarlly stopped it. This is as it

should be. Grand Lodges should now prohibit the use of auy language except our own, either in ritualistic work or in other ",ays. If the war did anything', It' solidified us as a nation, and. there should be no rOOlD for a hyphenated citizen of any kind, much less a Dlason. Illinois I

The year that has just closed has brought about one change which regardless of the war and its effects, makes for geunine Freemasonry. In Illinois and New Jersey, lodges conducting their busi路 ness and pe'rforming the ritual in the German language were ordered to at once become English speaking, or to surrender their charters, This action was inspired, not so much because of prejudice against the German people in this country and their language, as it was to prevent the segragation of peoples of one nationality under the guise of Freemasonry. The fathers in Freemasonry who formulated the principles under which the fraternity is today working never contemplated the organization of class lodges wherein men of different nations, creeds, and professions might segregate and use the lodge as a means of propagating their own pecuiiar ideas and practices. The purpose of Freemasonry as originally conceived was that of a fraternal democracy, wherein men of every country, sect, and opinion, religious belief and political party, might come togethe~ around a common altar, upon a common equality and meet their fellows as children of one father. A lodge made up exclusively of Germans, Frenchmen, Italians, Swedes, and using the particular language of the constitutents is nor- a Masonic lodge; but a lodge composed of men representing these different nationalities and using the' language of the country wherein the lodge is located is Masonic. !t the war has路 done nothing else it has a wakened us to the

danger of class lodges and has .served' to bring (;0' us a better understanding of the object and pUfp,0ses of genuine Freemasonry. Indiana:

We have developed a crop of wild-eyed 1. W. W.'s, bewhiskered Bolsheviki, and dirty-faced' a:narchists. We have suffered the Russians to colonize little Russia, the Italians little Italies, and the Germans little Germanies. While living under the protection of American instituti0t:ls, they have remained foreigners to all intents and purposes. It is said there are more Germans in New York than in any other city of the world, excepting only the city of Berlin. There are communities in America where the pictures. of the Kaiser and Bismarck are the chief works of art, and the German language is the well-nigh universal language of print and speech. Our boasted "little red school house" has too often been made a hreeding place of German kultur, its walls adQrned with the ugly mug of the Kaiser, the only man on earth who ever publicly shamed his own mother. Nc\v Jersey:

While such lodges are comparatively few in number and of minimum membership, they constitute the exception which proves the better rule of exercising Masonic functions in the prevailing tongue for the general welfare, not only of the Craft, but for the better citizenship and the manhood of the nation from which all accessions to our membership must come. The allowances of these exceptional lodges as a matter of sentiment, has undoubtedly given reason to persons of comparatively recent residence in this country, to attempt the establishment of lodges in which foreign ritualistic matter, as taught in the countries from which they came, may be practiced in derogation of our ritual, and in some respects to invalidate the ethical principles wherein ,Freemasonry finds it chief reason for being. New York: Nations have been disrupted by differences in languages. Dif-. ferences in languages have caused more wars than differences in religion; more unhappiness than all other causes combfned. . For the sake of the republic, we should plead for American Unity. Unity cannot obtain or be preserved with foreign colonies fenced in and neighbbrhoods closed to callers and with preaching and teaching in for~ign languages. Brethren, I would break up all cliques in our government. It is a big undertaking to govern this people. Even now the forces of dissension and anarchy are beating upon our shores and it will take the steadfast patriotism of all our people to drive them back and to assure the life and perpetuity of this nation. Here and at this time, we should all possess the American spirit. Indulge in American music; American art; American literature; American customs; American ideals; American education and above all, we ought not to flatter everything which is brought

here from other countries, and whether that be humans or merchandise does not matter. America cannot attain its highest standing among nations, half foreign and half American. All newspavers printed in this country should be in English. All public speeches on national questions should be in English. All ·telephonic and telegraphic communications in this country should be in English. Yes, every man should be required to transact his business at the bank, fhe counting-house, at the grocer, the tailor and at all public places in the English lang'uage, not by reason of spite or to annoy or harass but to adopt simply a wise precaution. An alien lang-uage gives the alien viewpoint and if this country is to endure, we must have nothing but the American viewpoint. If we all set to and earnestly and faithfully follow these things, ere long we shall be cemented into one complete and undivided people possessing one country, one fiag, one language,. one • contentment, one God. Nortll Dakota:

The report closes with this declaration, which was adopted unanimously: "We firmly believe that as a body of citizens we should promote the idea of Americanization, and to further' this plan we demand that our laws be so changed as to prohibit the use of any language other than the English in ·any pUblic, private or parochial school of elementary grade, and urge our members to see that such action is taken at the next session of our legislature."

The Mayor of Toronto welcomed the Grand Lodge in fitting terms and the response by Bro. A. T. Freed was a worthy one. The total attendance registered was 1,383. The Craft in Toronto through Bro. D. F. McWatt, presented a most cordial greeting to the Grand Lodge. The Grand Master introduces his report in a most reverential spirit, as follows: Once more we have assembled to review the work of a twelve months' period. We thank almighty God that the most cruel war in all history is a thing of the past and that we sit together as of those on whom victory rests instead of as those who have gone down" 'not only to physical defeat, but to an inglorious and moral obloquy that will follow their children's children to the third and fourth generation. May we be worthy of the success that has crowned our efforts and humble in the knowledge that God Himself has sustained us in all'the dreadful vicissitudes through which we have passed. As He recognized our exertions and our aim::> on the fields of battle, may we in all humility pray that He will be with us in the days of peace and that in our daily lives we may exhibit a. modest spirit and be animated with lofty desires. We pray especially that the all-living Father will be with those of. our brethren and their families who have lost loved ones. and that their sorrow may, in some measure, be assuaged by the kl10wledge that those brave spirits are but pioneers in that lanq (If' which, in due' time, we all hope to be citizens. M~y we who live prove worthy of those whose blood has consecrated afresh the llrinciples of ju~tice, liberty and truth.

Onrushing Time has travers'ed the fleeting months of the past year and brought us together in this, the Fifty-ninth AJlUlH'.l Communication of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Colorado, and it now devolves upon me to render an account of the efforts put forth 'as your representative during that period. The last two Annual Communications have occurred during a period when all the efforts of the civilized world were devoted to arriving at路 a conclusion as to whom should rule the destinies of the future, Whether by the power of Might, backed by many years of thoughtful preparation to enforce their dominions over the minds and affairs of men. or by the principle of Right which holds as its ideal the highest development of peoples along the lines of material, intellectual and moral advancement; in fact, those eter路 nal longings and aspirations of the human heart that are recog-' nized and set forth in such an estimable manner by the teachings of our institution.

The last Communications were under the gloom cast upon us by our participation in the world's greatest war in which we be-' lieved not only the principles of our government, but the future of many peoples were threatened with destruction an~ e~ch and every energy and thought was devoted to the upholdmg of our country in this awful crisis, not only when our material, personal, social and financial interests were concerned, but even to the ex" tent of the giving of the lives of our best and noblest men to maintain our principles, uphold our government and ward off the impending disaster, •

and many other bright selections one might give but for want of space. The Grand Representatives were united in the East and welcomed by the Grand Master in words fitting and beautiful. Two new lodges were created by dispensation during the year. The Grand Master reported no De~isions. The Grand Master attended the Peace Jubilee in Great Britain in answer to the invitation of the Grand Lodge. The Masonic Service Association was recommended to the earnest consideration of the Grand Lodge and the report of the Special Committee to whom the matter was referred recommended that the Grand Lodge become a member which report was adopted. The Committee to. whom was referred the subject of French Masonry, gave an exhaustive discussion of the merits and claims of the case, but made no recommendations. The oration of M. W. Bro. Wm. D. Pierce was of high order. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE.

Appendix.

The work of the year-was conducted as is their custom in three. "trimestrial" arid one Annu'al Communication, and in great part the volume is occupied with data and statistics. We learn from the Report of the Grand Secretary, that in 1910 the membership was only 2,630, and now numbers 9,865, which indicates a large measme of prosperity. From the Report of the Grand Correspondent, we gather several items of interest and can best show these by publishing extracts. The Report covers only 27 pages-one review touching th€ York Grand Lodge of Mexico i.s printed in English-with some peculiarities of consJruction-and is really a somewhat caustic criticism on the Grand Lodge-its origin and claims. From the introduction or "preamble" we copy almost fully as it will doubt-less interest many: REPORT OF THg COMMITTEE OF FOREIGN-RELATIONS. (Preamble.) It is almost unnecessary to make known herewith the calamitous state in which the Masonic F:ratet:nity is found at present in several of the countries of Europe. What little of it these was in Turkey, the major part of which were foreigners, has disappeared. In Servia and Roumania nothing has been left. The Supreme Council of Servia is a proof of our assertion; having changed its seat to Marseilles, France. The Fraternity exists in Greece, due to the scantiness· of the war in that district. Germany, divorced from the rest of the world its only aim at present is her political reorganization and to stop her hunger. In Belgium, everything has to be done anew, and what "aRt field is offered there for Masonic philanthrO!lY. On the other hand, the outlook in England is edifying. The feasts celebrated to collect funds for the "three .Jewels" as they are termed the three Charitable Asylums, have produced more than one million dollars. London, with its eight hundred lodges is always alive to ( help the needy. The forty-five Grand Provincial Lodges existing in England have considerab'ly enlarged their charity funds, dedicating themselves to some special business. One of them founded and, maintains a Masonic Hospital; others bear the charges of many beds in other hospitals. Such one sustains a great number of ambulances, while another erects an Orthopedic Laboratory to attend to the helpless derived from the war, and the care of Belgian orphans is ·the aim of several others. Three English military lodges operating in the battle front deserVe to have their names mentioned in history, they are: "Unity, Peace and Concord No. 316," "Social Friendship No. 497" and "Pegaso No. 2205." France rivals in the compliance of its duties; it has opened the doors of her temples to all Masons of the world, laying aside the requisite of examination. In Saint Nazaire, Bordeaux and other places there exist permanent clubs. In the local of the Grand OI'ient in' Paris, 16 Rue Cadet, a masonic Bureau has' been established for the Allied Armies in France, and at the same time the Lodge "La Fraternite des Peuples" has formed a permanent committee for the reception of foreign brothers.

But it is in American, in the United States, where we 路have found some obstacles which we are at a loss to understand. The Masonic Fraternity, even with its immense power, could not comply with its duties in the military camps; that privilege being only conceded to the Young Men's Christian Association and the Knights of ColumbuS. These are mysteries of a free country. And such state of affairs was not due to lack of work done by many Masonic personalities who acted persistently in that capacity, but some one has been mightier than they ~ere. Meetings of Grand Masters at Washington, New Yo\,k and recently in Iowa were celebrated. From this last one the foundation of an institution named "United States Masonic Association Service," was formed, which mission is to be common both to the war as well as to neace and to all ~public calamities and as it is intended to be . per~anent, will avoid one of the defects abounding in the American Masonry; its lack of unity, as it is not the same deal with one concern as with fort.-y-nine grand lodges, each one of them having a different constitution and even peculiar customs, in many instances C'pposing one to another. Several Grand Lodges of the union, very few at that, have authorized the foundation of military lodges; these have b~en Kentucky, Montana, North Dakota, Ohio, N'orth Carolina and New York. The Lodge "Sea and Land" of this la,st potency did some excellent work. But it is another phase of international affairs where American Masonry has been found wanting, showing the lack of unity to which reference is hereby previously made. What attitude is there to be adopted before the frank, sincere and cordial one of French Masons? In what shape were to be united the' habits and traditions of the Anglo-Saxons to the courtesy and gratefulness of the man of the world and the Masonic duties? Sincerely I admit, that the climax was reached at this point. While some Grand Lodges as Louisiana, Rhode Island, Kentucky, New Jersey, California, New York, Alabama and Iowa, voluntarily acknowledged or' re-established their fraternal relations with the total of French Masonry, that is; with the Grand Orient and the Grand Lodge, others would simply deal with the Grand Lodge, fearing the radicalism of the Grand Orient. Many of them simply allowed their members to visit French lodges, which constitutes a legal acknowledgement, while' there 'were some, very few at that, that although having authorized the visits to the temples over there, have refused to admit in their midst those French Masons who happened to c'ome to the United States. It is to be hoped that these brothers will reconsider that attitude and show less antagonism in their proceedings.

This covers nine (9) pages and is in good form. The Grand Master makes a graceful bow in his introduction-refers graciously to the faternal dead-finds in his official visitations the true spirit of Freemasonry everywhere and is courteously received in visits to other Grand Lodges to-wit, that of New Jersey and the District of Columbia. Because of the distance he did not respond in per路 son or by proxy to the invitation from Idaho. He reports the Masonic Home in fine condition. (Later we find that the assets of the Home amount to nearly $35,000-, and that the operating expenses for last year were about $4,300-. Four were received into the Home and one died during the year.) The Grand Master decided that the loss of the second joint of the first finger of the right hand, precludes admission to the order. This the only Decision-and with it we can hardly agree.

Bible is to be his rule and guide; and in the very last" scene in connection with our fraternity, when his unconscious form is carried" to its last resting place, the open Bible is a prominent feature. The fundamental" teachings of Freemasonry are divine; coming direct from the Sacred Word-the fountain of life. From this book we obtain all the beautiful tenets of OUr organization; and no lodge is duly constituted" or complete without the open Bible upon the altar. One important lesson should be impressed upon us all, in relation to this subject, viz: The use of the Bible in Freemasonry is not an accident; nor is it an adjunct tacked onto the Institution to make it more respectable, or as an inducement for good men to seek admittance tol its membership; nor is it for the purpose of inspiring solemnity and arresting attention of the candidate, but it is so interwoven with Masonry, and so ingrained into its very fiber, that it must be made, the "RULE AND GUIDE" of every brother of the craft The Bible is called one of the Three Great Lights of Masonry. for from the center of the lodge it pours forth upon the East, the West, and" the South its refulgent rays of Divine truth. The Bible is used among Masons as the symbol of the will of God, however it may be expressed._ And, therefore, whatever to any people expresses that will, may be I used as a substitute for the Bible in a Masonic Lodge. Thus, In a lodge composed entirely of Hebrews, the Old Testament alone may be placed upon the altar, and Turkish Masons make use of the Koran. Whether it be the Gospel to the Christians, the Pentatcu'ch to the Israelite, the Koran to the Mussulman, or the Vedas to the Brahman, it everywhere Masonically conveys the same idea.-that of the symbolism of the Divine Will revealed to man.

of Wilmington, on the Second day of October, A. D. 1918, A. L. 5918; and was called to order by the Most Worshipful Grand Master at Twelve o'clock (noon), and was opened in Ample Form, the National Hymn being sung with enthusiasm. The prayer by the Grand Chaplain, which is given in full, wasn't long but fervent in spirit and beautiful in expression. The total representation was 152-a smaller number than usual.' M. W. Herbert C. Rorick, Grand Master of New Jersey, was introduced and made a pleasant address. THE ANNUAL ADDRESS.

This is brief covering only 13 pages and is in good form • though conventional throughout. From the opening paragraph we quote the following:

• The pedod in which we are living is extraordinary, and our Fraternity is affected like all other institutions. The future of our republic and of liberal government everyWhere is now being determined on the battlefields of Europe. And upon the decision rests the destiny of a fraternity such as this. Therefore', as citizens and as Masons, we are impelled to put aside all that is trivial, all that is sordid, and lend uor voice, our industry, our means, and even our lives to the maintenace of our ideals. For the principles underlying our own government and those un· derlying our Fraternity find no conflict; in fact, they are so fundamentally alike that we have no difficulty in recognizing in the words of our immortal Declaration of Independence and inspiration that was in large measure Masonic. Consequently, in our participation in this world-struggle, there is absolute harmony between our duty as Masons and our duty as citizens.

•

The Grand Master issued the following decree, which we think will meet with general endorsement: That from this date (May 1, 1918) no petition for membership shall be received by any lodge in this jurisdiction from one who is not a citizen of the United States. "In case the petitioner has been naturalized, he shall present his naturalization papers to the scrutiny of the examining committee, which committee shall present in writing attached to its report a synopsis giving the principal facts in such papers; and this shall be filed along with the original petition." DISPENSATIONS.

Owing to war conditions, many dispensations were issued to confer all three degrees at the same s'ession-many also to confer the second and third degrees.

The Grand 路M.aster speaks in happy terms of the Masonic Home as to its valuable properties, management,' etc., and we learn later in the Proceedings that the Home has 13 inmates and that two died during the year-that the expense of maintenance for the year wal:! a little more than $5,000-which would indicate that the. cost per capita is nearly $400. The property is b.;ing improved and its assets increased from year to year. . As to the use of the '13lack Ball the Grand Master speaks wisely, as follows: \

"The right to .elect or reject a candidate is a trust given to members by a lodge to be exercised for its benefit. Whoever exercises it for personal reasons betrays his trust and violates his obligations," I think some expression such as this should be brought to the attention of the brethren.

And in his conclusion he speaks as follows:

Masonry is not an end, but a means. A creed is but an expression of our faith. When the mind becomes satisfied with the form, we miss the essence. The symbolism of Masonry is only the ladder on which our souls may climb. Our symbols are meaningless until they are translated; and there are no words in' which to express them; they require to be interpreted into deeds and impulses. If our Masonry is real, \..'e cannot confine it to the lodge room nor to intercourse among the brethl路en. It concerns the greatest truths that have been conceived by the brain of man. These truths, when they come to influence our lives, affect our relations with all men.

The volume includes valuable statistics glvmg the Masonic population of the world at some two and a half milli~ns, in the Grand Bodies usually_recognized. Also' we have, as in the Proceedings of last year, a list of "Approved Decisions"-also the twenty-fiv.e "landmarks" as copied from Brother Mackey. As some oius do not accept Bro. Mackey, in full, it is easily surmised that we might not approve all the Decisions, which our brother would forgive no doubt. ' There is no report on Correspondence.

Gain, 1,866. The Proceedings of the Grand Lodge of the District of Columbia fill a volume of 525 pages of closely printed matter and contain t'he record of two stated, two special, and the annual com.munications of that Grand Body. The volume, is adorned with a striking likeness of the Grand Master for 1919, M. W. Brother Joseph H. Milans, whose countenance indicates the manner of man which his utterances containe~ in the Proceedings would suggest. The Stated Communication held on March 8, 1919, was for the exemplification of the Work as prescribed by the Constitution. The Stated Communication held May 14, 1919, had before it the matter of the MASONIC SERVICE ASSOCIATION;

and the report of the Special Committee.' togetlier with its recommendations were adopted. The Special Communication held on November 11, ,1919, was for the purpose of laying the cornerstone of the Masonic Tem.ple to be erected as a new home for Stansbury Lodge No. 24. At this ceremo'.lY the GAVEL USED BY GEORGE WASHINGTON

at the laying of the cornerstone of the National Capitol was brought into requisition, and the Grand Master, .in his concluding address r.lade use of th~ following language: This implement, the gavel, employed by me in the work of this day, is the identical instrument used by our Brother George Washington in the laying of the cornerstone of the United States Capitol. It has become a sacred treasure of Mason'ry. As a mere tool this gavel has just performed a mechanical function, the same as it has performed li~e functions on similar occasions in its visits throughout various parts of our country where the use of that precious device was sought. All the while, however, such mechanical use has been accompanied by another more important ,service-a moral one. Brother Washington, using his physical powers, gave the customary raps on the stone, but his thoughts were on the .attending symbolic and higher things. Ever since that moment the very atmosphere surrounding this gavel has been filled

with the moral and spiritual attributes of Masonry, constantly recalling the principles on which our fraternity rest-s. Those principles our beloved and illustrious brother recognized and did not hesitate to practice either in public or in his private life. This is路a glorious day for Stansbury Lodge. It commences the erection of a building wherein it may continue its Masonic life, and from which Masons may proclaim to the world that every thought therein entertained and every act therein performed will ultimately exert a beneficial influence on the universal brotherhood of man. While within the temple our Masons hold their meetings in the interests of their fraternal life, we want the public, as it passes and views that temple from day to day, to be constantly reminded that they, too, are a part of the greater. brotherhood, and that a portion of their lives should be 'freely and earnestly spent for the general good of the world and the common welfare of all its peoples.

At the concLusion of the ceremony a brief and interesting ad was made by Brother Franklin D. Roosevelt, Assistant Secre~ary of the Navy.

The Annual Communication of,the Grand Lodge was opened in ample' form. Prayer by the Grand Chaplain. A number of distinguished visitors were present, introduced and welcomed by the Grana Master. THE ANNUAL ADDRESS.

This document covers some eighty pages of closely printed matter, and is a splendid resume of the work of the year. In it are many paragraphs worthy of quotation did our. space but allow. }i'rom it we excerpt: In my visits with the brethren, almost nightly and too often to, recount, it has, been my effort to teach Masonry, not so much for the benefit of the older as for the younger men, in as simple language as I could use, that all may readily understand my belief that Masonry is not mysterious and difficult of performance, but is most like a Godly, natural system of living, not complex nor hard to learn, and in which life we are each not a small and insignificant part, but an important and forceful factor operating through our' fraternal, national and local life to exhibit an influence promoting the common welfare, and a corresponding opposition to all things tending away from a lawful, orderly, useful people. I have emphasized that in the life we are living we owe a substantial part of it to other men and that much of the return on our investment of good work must come after us. Later on I expect to show you that one of our really great opportunities is at hand, and in considering it, remember "how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity," and-may I emphasize?-act in unity.

Tender reference is made to the Fraternal Dead of whom more tha,n two hundred and forty are recorded in the roll.

The following is interesting: COLUMBIA LODGE, No.3, CONGREGATED. Because of the death\ of its Master, and the absence from the jurisdiction of both its Senior and Junior Wardens, I was requested to congregate Columbia Lodge, No.3, on September .19, 1919, the time legally fixed for its next stated communication. I -replied that it was my intention to be present at the time stated to congregate the lodge and assist路 it to open in a lawful .mnner. I, however, coupled with this expressed intention the suggestion that if, however, something unforseen prevented my attendance, Past Grand Master J. Claude Keiper was authorized and directed 路to act in my behalf. Section 62 of the Grand Lodge Constitution seems to. cover the situation, as also the decision found at page 110, Grand Lodge Proceedings, 1911, but the Grand Lodge has apparently' never passed upon the question whether or not the Grand Master has the power to delegate to another the right to open or congregate a lodge. when he cannot attend in person. It is my belief that the Grand Master may deputize another to act for him in such case, although in the instant case such was not necessary, the Grand Master congregating the lodge, and when opened, turning the same over to another qualified to preside.

The Grand Master and Grand Secretary journeyed to JDngland to attend the Peace Celebration of the Mother Grand Lodge, and were greatly impressed by their visit, and the Grand Master sums up his address in the following CONCLUSION. Brethren, I conclude with the reminder that in a few hours my gavel of authority will be returned to your hands. It' has been used with an earnest intention to ever measure out fairness and justice to all, as I could see the way. In traversing that way many have 'helped me, and Ih.ope we may all similarly help each other for a long time to ~ome. Whether at home or elsewhere, the Masonic jurisdiction of the District of Columbia has been the uppermost thought in the mind of your Grand Master. This I pledged, and my strongest desire was to be faithful. This Grand Lodge will always have my interest, and the experiences and knowledge that R. W. Bro. Johnston and myself received in the British Isles and France have, I believe, broadened our Masonic vision and equipped. 路us for further service in the craft along lines in Which we could not have hoped to participate except for the privilege of preparation given us by this Grand Lodge. .

ADDRESS'

which proved to be a worthy document occupying 41 pages in a careful delineation of the more prominent facts and doings of the Administration during the year. We quote from the prefac8: To the Grand Lodge of Georgia: Brethren: Returning from the army," after the signing of the armistice, I reached Georgia just in time to attend your last Annual Communication, which had been adjourned by the Most Worshipful Grand Master, Dr. William G. England, on account of the statewide epidemic of influenza. With the re'3ponsibilities of this high office unexpectedly placed upon my shoulders, the outlook for a successful year for Georgia Masonry was at first dark. In many sections of the state, for weeks, the ban imposed by local health authorities remained in force, or if removed w(,)uld be promptly replaced with added severity upon a fresh outbreak of thi'S disease. In many communities it interfered with lodge work until well into the 路spring. Notwithstanding this great handicap, however, upon its final removal, Masonic activity was resumed and all lost g-round reg-ained. The year has been one almost phenomenal in the amount of work done by Georgia Masonry. According to the estimate of the Grand Secretary, the Masonic membership in Georgia by the" date of this communication will have grown beyond the splendid figure of 55,000. The unusual activity in Masonic life has not been confined, however to our own state, although according to our infox;mation it has been no more pronounced in any other jurisdiction. For the reasons for that growth, many of us have inquired. While the great army of of the United States was being organized and sent across the seas, the activity then existing was explainable, but this unusual activity has been after the'signing of the armistice .and has in no wise been confined to persons then or heretofore in the military establishment.

It may be that in this day of change and decay, when so many time-honored institutions are assailed or destroyed, our young ,men turn naturally to that institution which has existed from time im-· memorial, either consciously or without definite reasoning, feeling intuitively that our craft should not have endured through all theseages. unless founded upon sound principles of truth. And as ships seek a haven in a storm, so perhaps these, our new found brethren, have come to this great fraternity feeling that today they need its g':liding hand and its protecting shield. .

He discusses the Washington Memorial Association and alludes to the hostility of the Catholic Church as. follows: "Open expression of this antagonism is contained in the Catholic Review, 'America.' I, quote the following paragraph from the issue of this review dated December 29, 1917: " 'Present conditions tend to make it soon incumbent on Catholic pUblicists, and on all who will not subject their civic rights to the machinations of an oath-bound clique, to expose to the public, as happened once in our history to a professed Masonic party, the craft's hidden activities in public affairs. It is a civic duty now, con-, sidering the deliberate misrepresentation by which the Scottish Rite manipulators are plotting to make the Father of our Country a Masonic property, to prevent the honored name of Washington, the ideal personification of real Americanism and the common heritage of all our citizens, from being degraded into material for Masonic propaganda.' "The article itself endeavors to construe Washington's remarks concerning the Illuminati as referring to Masonic Lodges, and based thereon charges that Washington denounced Masonry."

THE OVER SEAS MISSION.

He dwells at some length on the difficulties in the way' of this work, arising from the seeming opposition of the Government. He gives an interesting account of the great Jubilee meeting in London which he attended. He delivered many striking and beautiful sentiments, one of which we append here:

•

Seated in Royal Albert Hotel in London, my attention was called to the motto of royalty: "Dieu et man droit"---'"God and my right. It occurred to me that in large part this was the motto of the world. First generally to eXl)reSS faith in God and then actually to display interest and zeal only in the assertion or deferepce of our actual or supposed riglHs. So zealous are we in the selfish assertion of our supposed rights, thaL as nations and individuals we lose sight in large part of the rights of others and in so doing lose right to justly claim that our trust is in God. The, obligations of Masonry enjoin upon us not the protection of our rights, but respect for the rights of others as well a;o service to our brethren and mankind. No govern-

mental system on earth is an 'absolute guarantee against the selfishness of the individual. But a compliance with the spirit of our Ma- , sonic obligation would revolutionize for the better the conduct of mankind.

â&#x20AC;˘ The Committee on Correspondence presented an exhausfive and 'Y0rthy discussion of French Masonry, from which we excerpt the' conclusions: SUMMARY OF FRENCH MASONRY.

The Grand Orient of France prohibits the mention of God arid the use of the book of the law of God in its organization. It allows the invasion .of jurisdictions. It permits the discussion of politics. The Grand Lodge of Frailce claims to perform in the name of the Grand Architect of the Universe. But this formula is disregarded at the will of lodges. The book of law of God is not required in the lodges, although it is not prohibited and some lodges display it. The Grand Lodge permits the discussion of political subjects. The Grand Lodge of France emanated from a Scottish .Rite organization and, in the opinion of your chairman, cannot be regarded as legitimate. In preceding renorts your chairman set forth the contentions of. the Grand Orient of France and the Grand Lodge of l"rance, that .the attitude toward the belief in God was to insure liberty Of con- . science and that the Bible was absent on account of the fight of ecclesiasticism. . T.he French Grand Bodies are undoubtedly sincere in these contentions, but we Masons of Georgia hold certain requirements, among them that: Each Grand Lodge applying for recognition to the Grand Lodge of Georgia must prove legitimate de.sc'ent. It ,must be definitely and openly express in its declaration of principles its belief in one God, and that this belief is the essential Landmark of the Craft. It must have as a part of the furniture of its lodges, the Volume of the Sacred Law, on which its initiates must be obligated. i It must have full, free and independent control of the three degrees of Symbolic Masonry within its territorial jur-' isdiction, and must not be controlled by or subservient to any other so-called superior Masonic organization. A t such a time. as this, when God has blessed our cause, your chairman cannot help but feel that Georgia Masonry should and must turn more proudly and closely to her God and His Word-not a camouflaged Deity, not a God in whom l\fasons mayor may not believe, but in a realistic, pe~sonal Father, a living, supreme, triumphant God. There are some who contend that Masonry is not a religious institution. Their conviction may be well taken, but your chairman reiterates that no organization can~ accomplish the best purposes or

Scroggin, who while conducting the funeral service of a brother in April, 1919, faltered, fell and in one hour passed away, dying in the very flower of a splendid manhood. The addresses of several distinguished brethren were of a high order. We can only quote a selection used by one of ,them: I,canno.t. say and I will not say That he is dead. He is just away 1 With a cheery smile, and a wave of the hand, He has wandered into an unknown land, And left Us dreaming how very fair It needs must be, since he lingers there.

The address of the Grand Master is wise and worthy. his opening r.emarks he used the following:

After' reciting the facts the Grand Master states that the law of the Grand Lodge is that all lodges use the English language only; and the committee fully endorsed the Grand Master..

This is the most comprehensive document of its kind that we ever remember coming to our table. For arrangement, detail and general make-up it is remarkable, and would require the whole space alloted to us in our proceedings should we undertake to analyze the multitude of issues which it brings before the Grand Lodge. Nothing, seemingly, is overlooked, and details are discussed with an ability which indicates no ordinary knowledge' of the affairs pertaining to the Grand Jurisdiction. The Address is divided into five parts, under the followin~ headings: 1. Introduction. 2. Domestic matters. 3. Inter-Jur路 isdictio~al matters. 4. Mission of Masonry in the New World. 5. Addenda., Speaking of the forthcoming Diamond Jubilee of the Grand Lodge of Iowa, the Grand Master has this, among other thi~gs to say: What does the future hold for us? It is perhaps better that we do not know. But if the Grand Lodge of Iowa was born with threatening clouds of rancor and distrust on the horizon, so ,now our diamond jubilee finds us in a storm-tossed world. Whether we will or no, we are in the center of a very maelstrom of uncertainty and political distress, the like of which we have never seen. ,If our duty in the' world has not been plain, in the past, certainly it is worth careful study and meditation now. We must come to understand it. We must realize it. In this we dare not fail.

Of the Fraternal Dead he says: The record of the faithful who have passed from our physical sphere, to our loss and grief, is a long one this year-longer than ever before by reason of the. scourge of Spanish infiuenza which rolled across our jurisdiction like a wave of machine gun bullets, cutting a deep and awful swath in our ranks.

STATE" OF THE CRAFT IN IOWA.

The

Gran~

Master in opening this' subject says:

Under this heading it. is my desire to discuss the conditions existing in the Grand Jurisdiction of Iowa today, as revealed to me .during ~his year. To do this demands a certain recital of fact, not a little comparison with similar conditions and customs existing in other Grand Lodges, and, finally, a. candid, heart to heart talk, as between man and man and brother and brother, about the things we are doing, why we are doing them, and th.e possibility that we might be doing some of them better. It is not easy to present these matters as ~ want to present them. I deliberately do so, notWithstanding some of you will want to call me a supreme egotist, while others may feel like makingit even stronger, if that is possible. This, too, despite the fact that many of you know me well-or perhaps rather because you know me too well. So be it. I feel in,duty bound, as a matter of conscience, to tell the whole story as it appears. to me. This much will I say, however, by way of explanation. Whether it shall be deemed by you that I offer exteIUlating circumstances is for you to s路ay. But if, in advocating certain changes, I seem to challenge the wisdom of those great and lovable men who have ,brought the Grand Lodge of Iowa up to the high point which it now occupies in the Masonry of the world, there are some things which wou must ~emember. In the first place, no other living Grand Master has passed through this war period. Again, no other Grand Master in Iowa has ever had one-tenth the opportunity which has been granted to me to study the laws, customs, and policies of our sister jurisdictions. I claim no credit for these things. By the grace of God they have happened, that is all. . , ENTERPRISES OF THE GRAND LODGE OF IOWA.

The three great enterprises of the Grand Lodge of Iowa, car路 ried on more or less distinctly as such, in contrast to the routine matters, are: (a) the Grand 'Charity Fund, (b) the Grand Lodge Library, and (c) the development of the "Study Side" of Masonry. Of these the Grand Master speaks at length, and points out the result of his observations thereon. DECISIONS.

The Grand Master says: With but few exceptions, the' legal decisions this year are the decisions of the chairman of the ,Jurisprudence Committee. Not ..being a lawyer, I used ordinary discretion, and depended upon one. If I have gone wrong, he goes with me. RECOMMENDATIONS.

The Grand Master makes some seventeen recommendations, of a various na'ture, and presents his reasons with candor.

This enterprise is also discussed, and, when completed, will owe no little to the energy and advocacy of George L. Schoonover. , IN CONCLUSION

the Grand Master says: It is a new day. Its rising' sun even now flashes in our faces,' for the twilight has been short. We must be up and doing. If we " have worn only clothing of fine texture in the past, we must now put .on overalls-and armor for the fray. It 'is to be a day of work and fight. The order does not come from a governmental department-it comes from on high. The greatest factory in the world-civilization-is about to engage exclusively in . the manufacture of one product---'-true brotherhood. In the early day history tells us that Masonry was love, ,the love of brother for brother -these brethren who "might otherwise have remained at a perpetual distance." Can we not bring out of our archives this great lesson, take it into God's factory, impress it upon our fellow-workers, and lead them to see ,its truth? In a word, can we not fulfill our mis, sion, our peculiar ministry, by working hand in hand? Let us try it. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE.

This Report is from the talented pen of our distinguished brother, Louis Block, and is one of his best-w~ich is saying much! In a splendid "Foreword" he makes a magnificent plea for A LEAGUE OF MASONS,

the concluding paragraph of which says: The war was won by organization-by that and by the sacrifice of personal pride. While pride ruled the Prussian was fast putting it over his divided enemies. But when Lloyd George proved himself big enough to unite with his political enemies in a coalition cabinet, when Haig, and Pershing, and Petain, and the rest put aside their pride, put themselves under Foch, an'd took orders from him--:-then the flght was won, won by the formation of an organization that was simply irresistible. Surely it should not be hard for Masonry to profit by so splendid an exampl.e We have so many things in common upon wh~ch to build. We are united upon our fundamental principles-we are one in our great aims and exalted ideals. Our differences concern themselves with. matters of comparatively small import-are largely incidents of our separate historical development. At bottom we speak tl].e same language-that of universal brotherhood. All the way

down the years we have striven for a union of "good men and true, men of honor and honesty, by whatever denominations or persuasions they may be distinguished." Surely in the effort to make perfect this great work we sho'uld not hesitate to sacrifice small matters of sectional or jurisdictional pride upon the altar of the common good. Sh;'ll we not do ,this, and thus in this great day when the League of Nations is being formed bring- into being by its side as its stalwart champion, defender, preserver and protector, a League of Masons? ' Then indeed will Masonry realize her destiny and become "the center of union, and the means of conciliating true friendship among persons that must have remained at a perpetual distan'ce." Then 5lhall we see the dawning' of that day"When the war-drums beat no longer . And the battle-flags are furled In the parliament of man, The federation of the world."

Missouri is treated generously in more than five pages, containing pertinent quotations from Grand Master Clark's Address and of the kindly references to the Correspondent made by Dr. Clark. Mention is also made of Dr. Kuhn's telegram to President Wilson, and a lengthy quotation from the oration of Rt. Wor. and Rev. Brother Dr. Arthur Mather, Grand Chaplain, which Brother Block calls "Brilliant" and finds himself wondering if our Grand Chaplain is a descendent of the famous Cotton Mather.

"AN UNUSUAL PROCEEDING."

, The following paragraph is of unusual interest: On Sunday, May 18th, 1919, accompanied by several of the brethren of Lake Charles IJodge No. 165, I attended a session of Magnolia Lodge No. 238 at Hopewell Church, being situated some twelve. miles east of DeRidder. I granted Magnolia Lodge No. 238 a special dispensation to op-en and close their lodge in the woods near said church building, for the purpose of rendering the Masonic funeral service over the grave of one of their members, who had been buried at this point something like a year before. This meeting had been well advertised among the Masons living in this section of the State, and' in consequence there were some sixty visiting brethren present from Sam Todd Lodge No. 182, DeRidder Lodge No. 271, DeQuincy Lodge No. 279, Lake Charles Lodge No. 165, and others. These brethren appreciated a visit from the Grand Master, it being the first time they had ever been thus honored in their long existence, and I delivered an address to the brethren while in session in the open, duly guarded .against cowans and eavesdroppers. NEW TEMPLE.

The Grand Master purchased a valuable piece of property in his own name dUI:.ing the year, and offered the same to the Grand Lodge for the purpose of providing more adequately for the needs of 'the Grand Lodge. This property the Grand Lodge has acquired and arrangements are being made for the erection of a suitable Temple in the near future. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE.

The Report on Foreign Correspondence, presented by Rev. Herman C. Duncan, Chairman of the Committee, is full of interest although occupying less than thirty pages. Missouri is treated most courteously, and Grand Master Clark is commended for his attitude towards :B"rench Masonry in the following words: "It is heartening to read these words for they inspire the hope that Missouri will ere long b~ found with u? in seeking to do justly by our brethren of France." "ThE! Grand Lodge of Panama was recognized, while recogni路 tion was again refused to the only governing bodies in France that have a history of more than a span long. We can only hope that the Masonic torch that was kindled some two hundred years ago when the Grand Lodge of England was organized, and wh~ch has been picked up and waved by Brother Clark in Missouri, will be again picked up and that the Masons of Missouri discarding the allurements of all false lights w~ll rally to its call."

ANNUAL ADDRESS.

;The address of the Grand Master covers 18 pages and is in excellent fOrnl_ touching succinctly on every point demanding the attention of the Grand Lodge. We append herewith an extract from the opening paragraphs: We have viewed with great satisfaction the emphasis and prominence which have been given during the past four years to the fundamental tenets of our order, brotherly love, relief and truth, so that no'w the whole civilized world begins to realize that the genuIne brotherly interest taken in the welfare of others, as has so long been the foundation principle of our fraternity, is the golden 'key to happiness and progress. We cannot expect peace and calmness to instan tly prevail after so great a turmoil, and it l~ a duty incumbent upon each individual member of the craft to lend his talents and influence towards the' proper solution of the tremendous problems which faces our neighbors, 'our communities, our states and nation. It seems inevitable that a new relationship between labor and Capital will be established, and how fitting and proper it will be for the members of our fraternity to wisely and faithfully, as best We can, aid in 'the establishment of such an attitude of one toward the other as to redound to the ultimate welfare and prosperity of all.

T~e Grand Master made liberal provision for' the reception of candidates on account of war exigencies. Many special路 dispensations were granted on this account: We have .long thought-have sometimes stated and "steadfastly believe" that far too mahy sp~cial dispensations are asked and granted. In many cases it results from carelessness or mismanagement on the part of the lodge and should be charged for in such cases. 'This would lessen the evil in a measure. The Decisions are few and unimportant. The Grand Secretary r.eports the gain for the year as the largest in the history of the Grand Lodge, but deplores many irregularities, such as conferring all three degrees in the same day-receiving more than five (5) at' the same time, etc,. etc. Truly the war has opened the doors of Freemasonry to a great extent'!

The Grand Lodge is evidently drastic in sentiment with reference to this matter as is manifest in that a majority report against recognition and a minority report in favor of were severally read and both were ordered printed in the Proceedings. We do not find that either was adopted. REPORT 'ON CORRESPONDENCE.

THE ANNUAL ADDRESS.

This is well written and worthy, its great distinction is in fact that the' Grand Master in only eight pages brought before the Grand Lodge all the act~ and incidents of his administration demanding such notice. We excerpt: I bring to you most cordial and affectionate greeting. In welcoming you to the labors of this forty-fourth annual communication of the Grand Lodge of Manitoba, I trust that our bowed heads may symbolize hearts of humility and gratitude to Almighty God for manifold blessings Which have strewn our pathway during the year just closed. By no nleans the ieast of these blessings is that privilege of genuine fellowship whose warm charm grows .on one from year to year and which is the pec.6liar possession of our g~eat fraternity.

Referring to the war and its sad results, he says: Our hearts go out to those at home to whom' the close of the war has left only the cherished memory of their loved and lost. .. We also record with sorrow the loss of a number of brethren since we last met. Death has been a familiar figure and we ar"e learning with sadness what many of these departed brethren have learned with joy that death is after all only an incident in life. In its presence men are honest arid see the true worth of their stricken fellows. There is nothing but good to record and no better eulogy could be spoken than that they were men and true Masons. ~he names of the brethren who have answered the Great A.rchitect's call will appear in the report of the Committee on the Fraternal Dead, which will receive your sympathetic attention.

And later he adds the following worthy sentiment' which should have been felt by the strikers at Winnipeg: I do not think it out of ha'rmony with the philanthropy or spirit loi Freemansonry that this Grand Lodge shoul.d make a place in the lodge for the Flag of our country which probably, enjoys more freedom than any other land on earth. But we are finding out more each day that Lowell spoke strange truth when he wrote: "We are not free; Freedom doth not consist In musing with our faces toward the past While petty cares and crawling interests twist 路Their spider threads about us, Which at last Grow strong as iron chains and bind In formal narrowness, heart, soul and mind. Freedom is recreated year by year In hearts wide open on the Godward side." THIS IS'MOST EXCELLENT. Perhaps I may be permitted to insert briefly at this point a few practical suggestions which it had been my purpose to emphasize an occasion of official visits. More and more is it evident fhat the success or failure of a lodge is closely linked up with the personality of the Worshipful Master. The practice of electing a

hrother to the ruling office of the lodge merely because' he has.' filled a junior chair is an unhealthy one. A year or two as an occupant of a warden's chair should be regarded by himself and路 the lodge as probationary. Although it is important that he should prove well skilled it is essential that he properly interpret Masonry to his brethren. This demands more of him than the commitment to memory of his work. Along with -the care in the choice of officers in our lodges, I should like to counsel as of even greater importance the most scrupulous supervision in the selection of candidates. Many are seeking membership and with the return of more settled conditions our increase will be larger than ever. The lodge which becomes tainted with the spirit of commercialism and has regard for numbers rathel' than material is making a fatal blunder which results in injury to the entire craft. While it is impossible to make a rule determining qualifications for membership, I am of the opinion that an applicant should have proven his worth, and we are safe in. taking the closest possible measurement, assuring ourselves that he has been a worthy. citizen, a good neighbor, and has not defiled his soul's temple. And no one wl~o profanes the name of God .is worthy of Freemasonry. Bl'ethren, guard well the portals of your lodges and in ca~es of doubt give the institution the benefit. Committees of investigation are in a position to render signal service. but' too often. their work is done in a prefunctory manner. Growing out of this is another vital matter, namely our assistance to those whom we do accept as members. Masonry is a system of education and it is unfair that a brother newly admitted should be left to grope along the road to !{nowledge without a guide. Much. of the inertia of which many lodges complain is due to a lack of definite programme in this regard.

The Grand Master closes with this beautiful sentiment: I close my message, brethren, by reminding you of the great privilege and responsibility that" is ours in seeking to properly interpret that true spirit of Freemasonry before God and our fellow路 men. I' trust that our efforts in that direction may be proportionate to the immensity of our task. The following note of optimism given us by a seer whose name is not ){nown to me may be an inspiration to you as it has so often of late been to -myself. "The dawn is golden with the hopes of God As earth swings do\vn the paths of change again, Beneath His busy Hand new worlds arise Whose towers yet unfinished call for Men. Our creeds forgotten and our dreams outgrown Fade with a: nigh't-A gror;ing nation cries For leaders in the dawn-Shall God look down And find no vision gleaming in our eyes? Through all the bitter dust and smoke of war His patient fingers toiled and never ceased, And dim beyond those meadows streaked with Death The sunrise glistens on His age of Peace.

Be strong; the very earth's athrob with change, This is an hour for men to toil and pray; God's challenge -echoes to the watching stars, A world to bu'ild. And look: the dawning day."

Altogether we have found more of the true Masonic spirit and more earnest presentation of its principles than in any address coming to our table. The address of th~ Grand Chaplain is most worthy and y;e would copy, but for want of space. The Committee on Foreign Grand Lodges declines to recommend the recognition of any and relegates the matter to another year. Good! There is no Report on Correspondence.

The Grand Master in his address refers to the gratifying' prosperity which the Craft in Maryland is enjoying, and speaks of the lodges as being crowded with work, he and his deputy having found it necessary to lend their personal assistance to the various Masters in ~onferring degrees. In .this connection the 'Grand Master calls attention to the fact that he and the D. G. M. raised 799 candidates between. them in the preceeding six months. This statement explains, in part, another paragraph of the Address in which the Grand Master speaks of "shortening" the, work of the Third Degree. Mention is also made of the Grand Master's visit to Cedar Rapids" Iowa, in connection with the Masonic Service Association, of which he is now the treasurer. VICTORY LIBERTY LOAN DRIVE.

The Grand Master was escorted to路 the Grand East, from his apart路 ment, in# accordance with the usual custom of this Grand Lodge.. Speaking of the great inrush into the Fraternity, the Grand Master. observes: We all naturally are proud of the fact that we have had such accretion and such growth, yet on the other hand, the enormous multitude of candidates has caused many of us to look to the future with" a certajn measure of misgiving. The work in the lodges has been so great that little or no social intercourse has been possible, and little has been done bej!ond the actual necessary degree路 work. Are the new members Masons in the true sense, or are they merely members of the Fraternity? The mere hearing of the ritual and the memorizing of answers to fixe,d questions. does not mOa;ke a man a Mason. Are the new members sufficiently impressed to become students of Masonry, to learn the symbolic meanings of the degrees, to interpret the purposes and objects of the Fraternity, to realize that, a proper application of the teachings and principles of Masonry spells better citizenship and better manhood?

M. W. BROTHER CHARLES T. GALLAGHER.

Perhaps the most outstanding fact qf the past year in Massachusetts Freemasonry is the passing of M. W. Brother Charles T. Gallagher, who died at his home in Roxbury, Mass., on September 28, 1919, in his sixty-ninth year. M. W. Brother Gallagher has been the most conspicuous figure in the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts for many years, and his passing is a great loss to world-wide Freemasonry. We shall miss the reports of his addresses at the various Communications of the Grand Lodge which have been such a feature of the Proceedings for years past, and trust that his mantle will fall upon some other brother who will take up the work which M. W. Brother Gallagher so nobly and faithfully executed. Of him, M. W. Brother Abbott, Grand Master, says: No one can estimate or measure the value of his long and splendid service to Masonry. From his very first membership in this Grand Lodge, when he was an officer in Saint Paul's Lodge, of South Boston, he was especially devoted to it. Many biographical and historical addresses and articles were delivered or published by him, and our prfnted Proceedings bear convincing testimony of his zeal and Masonic learning. He 'was a member of all the Masonic bodies of the York and Scottish Rite, and at the time of his passing away was one of the four Active 33 0 members of the Supreme Council from Massachusetts, and also Deputy for the State. He was Grand Master of the Grand Lodge in 1900, 1901 and 1902, and for many years has been a member of its' Board of Directors. My relations with him in recent years have been so close and intimate that 'a deep sense of personal loss' makes words but too poor vehicles of tribute to his memory. It is in the silent chambers of thought and in the nobler resolves of grateful hearts that the lives of such men are truly honored.

The Grand Master utters some sentiments concerning lodges having large memberships which will strike a responsive chord in many places. He says: SMALLER LODGES. I am very much impressed that many of our Lodges are much too large in membership. It seems to me self-evident that a Lodge that is obliged to hold meetings several times a month in order to confer the degrees upon large numbers of candidates c'annot properly discharge its many important duties .to the Craft and to its own members. The conferring of degrees is very far from being the sole object and purpose of a Masonic Lodge. It is the close personal touch, the mutual exchange of ideas, the warm comradeship that brings men constantly together with hearts and minds influenced by the beautiful lessons and teachings of our Institution, that makes our membershIp truly worth while.

We quote another timely utterance of the Grand Master con: cerning the

INVESTIGATION OF APPLICANTS. Again I want to call your attention to 'the imperative necessity for the most rigid investigation of applicants for admission to the Fraternity. The strength and prestige of our Institution are at stake, and any Master of a Lodge who allows an applicant to be balloted upon without full and complete investigation is striking a blow at the foundations of Masonry. No more serious danger threatens in these days when such large numbers are applying for admission than that of neglect in the proper investigation of these applicants. We must maintain our high standards and fully and firmly protect against the pollution of our membership through the admission of those whose character does not entitle them to the high privileges and responsibilities with which every member' of our great fellowship is clothed: ' WAR RELIEF FUND.

The subscriptions to the War Relief Fund amounted to $164,路 860.40, to which fund every lodge in Massachusetts contributed. On the eve of surrendering the gavel of authority to his successor the Grand Master'(M. W. B~other Abbott) made a memorable address which ,was received with tremendous enthusiasm by the brethren. We quote the last paragraph, regretting that space is not available for reproducitigthe whole address. These are days of trial-true testing days for Freefuasons. Atheism, communism, socialism, anarchy, greed, selfishness, ignor~nce, class hatred, false gods, license in the name of liberty, binding and blinding autocracy parading in the name of democracy are some of the evil forces that menace not only the foundations of Government and civil 'society, but woUld destroy civ:ilization itself and send us reeling back to the days of barbarism. Every principle of Masonry, every virtue sacred to the heart and soul of our Fellowship is being held up to execration and singled out for assault and destruction. The scales are falling from off our eyes, the forces of righteousness, of law and order-yea, those of God-are moving closer together. Sturdy resolve and fixed determination are settling upon the faces of two millions of our Craft in America. Every true Craftsman worthy to bear' the name of Mason has enlisted' and pledged the last ounce of his strength to defend the precious heritage of free institutions and American ideals which has come down to us from out of the service and the sacrifice of those who with the love of God in their hearts reared a Government on the foundations of liberty, equality, and true fraternity, whose only rallyj~g cry was' America and whose banner the路 Stars and Stripes.

Bless our country, and may the glories of a just, righteous and God-fearing people increase from ag'e to age., Bless with Thy wisdom the noble President of our land, his counsellors and all who are entrusted with the guardianship of our rights and liberties, and bless all mankind that true peace will speedily be restored unto a still somewhat tur:bulent wodd. May the principles of orderly' government and law-abiding spirit soon grip the .hearts of all men and bring them the blessings of true democracy and the right understanding of freedom .

THE ANNUAL ADDRESS.

This is quite brief covering only some ten pages but no .doubt giving a sufficient exhibit of the work of the year. Fr,om the opening paragraphs we quote:

•

We are thankful to our Heaven~y Father that He has seen fit to stop this awful carnage of bloodshed and permit our friends and brothers to "return to their- homes and loved ones; and we are proud of the fact that this great fraternity stood by our government, and led every movement calculated to end that great struggle, not by compromise, but by conquering those who would destroy all that we hold near and dear to our hearts as free Americans. Lest we forget from whom these blessings come, let us bow our heads in a moment of prayer.

•

•••••

The Grand Master is devoutly thankful that though war and disease have carried away many faithful brethren, yet the official family of the Grand Lodge has been spared. He extends kindly sympathy to the bereaved of other Grand Jurisdictions and subjoins a list of names of distinguished. deceased. The Grand Master decided that a candidate for· initiation must take the "oath"-a mere affirmation is not sufficient. Possibly this is correct but in some Grand Jurisdictions we think "affirmation" is recognized. The Grand Master granted many Dispensations for ordinary reasons-and (wisely) refused many others. He' discredits the pI:esent lecture system as unsatisfactory and expensive. He made many visitations, official and social. In conclusion the Grand Master makes a spaceful bow-using the following with other expressions: I have put my duty to you ahead of my business, family or anything else that arose. I have tried to show every brother the same consideration, and even more. than I would have expected were the conditions reversed. Truly, I feel that this service has made me a better man. 1want to assure you that although I am now yielding the gavel of authority bad~ 'to you, I shall continue to serve you as long as I live in every possible way you may permit.

• The Grand Secretary reports. that 5393 degrees were conferred by· the several lodges during the year. The Home seems in ex£.ellent condition. There is no report on Correspondence.

was held at Helena, in the Shrine Temple, August 22, 1917, and the opening ceremonies were dignified by the presence of Gov. Stewart who delivered a most worthy address of welcome, which met with an eloquent response from the Grand Master. We suppose the Grand Lodge was called from labor, as a solo was rendered by Mrs. W. Mills;· though no mention is made of the fact. This was followed by an address from Capt. L. A. Foote, which-the war being almost at flood-tide was-as to be expected, full of patriotic sentiment. We give an extract:

• I have been connected with the military establishment of these United States for over eleven years, and I say to you, my brothers, that I have .yet to see my first Masonic soldier undergoing dis'ciplinary punishment, ~nd more than that, I never, expec.t to see a wearer of the lambskin in any other position in the armies of the United States than one of honor and trust. - .' Masonry is today the strongest 'of all orders among the soldiers. There are a large number of Masons among the officers of both the regular army and the army that was formerly the national guard. In the Montana regiment, out of 47 officers there are 12 Masons. The .percentage is nearly 25 per cent. Among the enlisted men, the percentag-e is smaller, due chiefty to the fact that they are much younger men than the officers. However, I have the names of about 25 Masons who are serving in the ranks and nearly every man of them is a non-com'missioned officer. There are a number of others whose names I have not yet obtained.

THE ANNUAL ADDRESS.

The Grand Master exhibits a thorough 'appreciation of I the existing condition of a most worthy zeal for the upbuilding of Freemasonry. His addr,ess covers a multitude of items relating to the Juri'sdicfion and we find little not to be commended. In the few Decisions propounded we note this: that all Masonic Communic~tion with a non-affiliate, except on the subject of his readmission, is not permit.ted; also that, There is no time limit on the demit of a non-affiliate. As to the first we have some doubt; and with regard to the second if we are not mistaken, a non-affillate must present his demit with petition within a' year or be debarred from all Masonic privileges. Among his report of Visitations, the Grand Master reports the following incident: BIG HOLE BATTLE GROUND. A half hour was spent on the old Big Hole battle ground where, on August 9th, 1877, Chief Joseph, with his band of Nez Perce Indians, nearly repeated the .Custer路 massacr,e. The federal government has erected a granite monument on the spot when Gen. Gibbon made his "final stand;" and here the mark of the rifle pits' and bullet' scarred trees still bear mute testimony of the fight that occurred in "Battle Gulch:' ,

A committee was appointed to mark the site of the first Masonic meeting in Virginia City. The creation' of Military Lodges was left to the discretion of the Grand Master. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE.

This covers 90 pages in a careful though brief Review of 58 Grand Lodge Proceedings. Needless to say it is good reading. He compliments our Grand Master Jesse with several quotations and' mentions the orations of M. W. Bro. Vetsburg and Rixey by saying "They do things 'up brown,' in Missouri." He compliments the correspondent as "sui generis." Spare our blushes good brothers, ."You are another."

THE ANNUAL ADDRESS.

This covers 58 pages and is exhaustive in character introducing and discussing a varietr of subject~, all of which however are reievent to Masonry in Montana-and outside of that Jurisdiction. He indulges in reminiscences and sentiment, more or less lofty in character and sometimes personal. He anticipates the Report on Necrology by paying separate and somewhat lengthy tribute to many fraternal dead. He granted a Dispensation for an Army Lodge and his letter of Dispensation covers two pages, while there路 are various allusions thereto afterwards. What is to become of the "Army Lodge" when the war and its aftermath are entirely finished is not intimatedso far as we can discover. ' NEW LODGES..

Seven Dispensations were granted for the creation of new lodges and one petition refused. Un.der instruction of former Grand Lodge he ordered the preparation of Service Medals to be worn by soldiers from the Jurisdiction of Montana. These-of which a sketch is givenare neat and well arranged. On one side are the emblems of . Masonry and the name of the Grand Jurisdiction and on the other the words: "If seriously wounded, taken pr'isoner or has yielded up his life, notify the Grand Secretary, Cornelius Hedges, Helena, Montana."

Resolutions with reference to French Masonry were laid on the table.

The Report on Masonic Home~complicated by the management of a farm, etc., is given at length from which we gather that the receipts and expenditures are something over $20,000with 24 (?) inmates, which would indicate a, cost per capita of $875.00. Much of this,however, is for improvements, equipment for Home and farm, so that the real pe'r capita expense for mere maintenance is probably less than $300. REPORT ON CORRESPONDENCE.

This covers 100 pages in reviewing the Proceedings of 59 Grand Lodges, and is a most sensible production.

SIXTY-SgCOND ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

held in Omaha, June 3rd and 4th, 1919. The Grand Lodge of the Most 'Ancient and Honora:ble Fraternity of Free and Accepted Masons: of Nebraska met in annual communication in Masonic Temple, Omaha, on Tuesday, June 3rd, Al L. 5919, A. D. 1919, there being present besides the Grand Officers, the representatives from two hundred and 'twenty-nine of the two hundred and seventyfour chartred lodges. Opening ceremonies ~ere diversified by an address qf welcome from M. W. Bro. Monley, which was reo sponded to in fine form by M. W. Bro..John H. Ehrhardt, who was followed by Rev. Bro. Titus .:r.-owe, from whose splendid address we give an extract, regretting that it must be brief. Referring t~ conditions in Russia the speaker continues: Nor is America free from this frightful seething unrest. The differences between labor and capital were never so sharply defined as at the present time. The growth of class spirit is one of the thing::; which makes present-day America utterly unlike America of a preceding- day. In America there are seeds of a social and economic revolution, and there are those among us who greatly fear

1920.]

Appendix.

that these seeds are at the-present time germinating, and that soon -very soon-a vigorous plant of revolution may come into being in our own loved land. I need not remind this honorable body of Grand Lodge' members that all the sacrifice was not demanded of the boys at the front. We did, indeed, demand of them the blood sacrifice, and be it said to their eternal honor and glory they gave the sacrifice and they did it freely, but if this America of ours is to achieve her highest possibility amongst the nations of the world, then this same spirit of sacrifice which led our boys to such amazing successes in Chateau Thierry, in Belleau Wood, the Argonnes, and other places, must find expression in the lives of the great civilian population. Wonderfully generous as America is, she is not rich.

THE ANNUAL ADDRESS.

This is formal-orthodox and withal, is worthy. It covers 19 pages in a careful statement of conditions existing and in'cidents of the year. We think the Grand Master unnecessarily modest and self-depreciative, as no doubt his work was as well done as it could have been by anyone. He dwells at length upon the Nebraska Masonic Home, lamenting the fact that under present conditions it cannot po~siblY care for hospital patients much less for those of unsound mind. He found the Children's Home in good condition though hampered for want of room and in need of more ground, as well as other facilities. There are two Homes-one for adults and the other for children. From the Report on Homes, we have this information: Eight adults wer.e admitted to the Home during 1918 and eleven children were admitted to the Homes at Fremont and Plattsmouth in the same year. Three adults passed away during 1918, and one died in 1919, and three have been admitted since January 1st, 1919; four children left the Homes in 1918. There are now twenty-two men, twenty women, seventeen girls, and nineteen boys at the different Homes, a total of.78. The average ag-e of the men is 71.3 years, and of the women 65.8 years. The average age of the boys is 9.14 years, an~ of the girls 12.58 years.. In addition to the residents of the Homes the Grand Lodge is assisting in caring for about thirty brethren, their widows, or orphans, through the Committee on Relief, the individuals remaining in their own homes, and being able to care for themselves with a little assistance.

The eXIlenses of maintenance increased considerably during the year, yet we find that the cost per capita seems to have been only a little more than $200.00. DECISIONS AND DISPENSATIONS.

TheÂˇ Grand Master reports many Dispensations for Ol'dinary purposes, and we are glad to say, many refusals. Also he reports 21 Decisions, all in accordance with the "Common Law" of Freemasonry, as we understand it.

important-one to the effct than an "enemy alien" could not be admitted to the privileg.es of the order: (Certahlly not.) We give a most worthy paragraph from the introduction: We have assembled for the fifty-fifth annual communication, and we should. be profoundly grateful that we are permitted to meet at a tim·e when peace among the peoples of the earth' is so nearly restored. The troubled years will soon be but a memory, and we may safely look forward to a happier era for mankind. As the bright morning comes after the tempest of a ter~ible night, so the new day brings us new hopes and bids us be girded for the tasks before us. In the new order the broad brotherhood of man must come into better recognition else we; have spent our strength in vain. There must be concord among men, 'and a due respect for, and obedience to the laws of the country under whose protection we live. Freemasonry is qualified to lead the thought of the times, for·it IS an institution builded on the foundation stones of temperance, fortitude, prudence and justice, cemented by that faith in God in which is our hope, and so standing four square with all the world. The strength of our fraternity lies not in its numbers, nor in its accumulations or its organization, but in its system of moral instruction, and the application of these lessons to the daily affairs of life. Any plan for increasing the influence of Freemasonry which does not present the ethical teachings of the order as its most important feature must surely fail. In all the business that shall come before this body let us ·therefore keep this fact in mind; let ul'! not neglect an opportunity to display the beauty of its teachings, or to serve our country or our fellow man in the timehonored manner for which our ancient fraternity is so well reputed.

•

While this brave little Mountain Grand Lodge has grown but slowly through the years, this is attributed altogether. to the widelyscattered and comparative thinness of the population. There are doubtless no better or truer Masons than are to be found here. The Report of the Committee on Necrology is accompanied with a number of excellent pictures of ·the depaJted. FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE.

This is most excellent-as indeed we always expect from Brother Vanderleith. And we would say many nice things about him and his work, but that he is so complimentary and kind to us, it might seem a mere quid pro quo.- We must quote him however, while we hide our blushing face. Referring to the Grand Master's address, he says: Fraternal Correspondent Brother C. C. Woods comes in for loving words of approval. Hats off, at the Table Round! Lovingly we present a bit of artemisia from Nevada's hills, fidel~ty is its message. So the poet speaks for it: "Free pastured here, from youth to age, Our floral sheep, the wool-gray sage."

[Sept.

Brother- Clark's conclusion is eloquent and timely. He bids us gather wisdom from the present intermixing with the peoples of .. the old world and points the need of such institutions as ours in the work of the subjection of human passions, rac'lal prejudices and social dis·tinctions.

•

The review of Brother C. C. Woods is up to standard. From the many volumes reviewed he quotes the opinions of interest and when he· gives conclusions of his own they are always courteous and to the point. In his review of Nevada Brother Atkinson's tribute to the Stars and Stripes is praised, and 'admiration is ex-, pressed for the address of Grand Master Holmes. Quotations are given from both; the paragraphs on death and immortality and on tcmilerf\.nCe being chosen from the address. His kindness to the Commissiouer of Review touches us deeply. May we prove worthy of his words in deeds for the craft.

Brother Vanderleith's conclusion is beautiful and reverent in spirit.

The one hundred and thirtieth annual commlinication of the M. W. Grand Lodge of the Ancient and Honorable Fraternity of Free and Accepted Masons of the State of New Hampshire was held at Freemasons Hall in the City 'of Concord, on ,Wednesday, May 21st, A. L. 5919, A. D. '1919. Opened in Ample Form with prayer by the Grand Chaplain. Besides Grand Officers and Permanent Members, there were in attendance representatives of 51 out of the 80 lodges in the Grand Jurisdiction. "On motion the reading of the record of the past Annual Communication' was omitted." _ (Of course. It always is! Why is mere matter of form? Because every other Grand Lodge does it? Not ALL-but most. of them.) THE ANNUAL ADDRESS.

The Grand Master is wise as is manifest by the brevity and strength of his report, which is a modest statem~nt of the official acts of his Administra,tion, wi.th little of mere sentiment. We quote a worthy paragraph from his exordium. After noting the happy conclusion 'of the war he says:

...

But, my brethren, the war between good and evil still survives and/ it is our duty so to influence the world that good shall be the winning factor. Therefore, in the readjustment _of the world's affairs, let us· pray that the g,reat leaders of democracy may be endowed with living faith in the Fatherhood of ,God and the Brotherhood of Man. These two great principles, the two basic principles of Freemasonry, constitute the 'only foundation which can' withstand the shifting sands of time.

•

This is the true spirit of Freemasonry and should be proclaimed in every meeting of every lodge! No new lodges are reported and no Decisions, but the usual number of Dispensations for the usual purposes, together with waivers of jurisdiction, etc., are reported. The Grand Master ,strongly endorses the work of the Masonic Home and urges its financial and ,moral support. REPORT ON CORRESPONDENCE.

the failure of ,Freemasonry to really get a place at the Front in war activities, he wisely says: â&#x20AC;˘ *

The war bared our greatest weakness. The Service Association seems to be the 6tcheme whereby that weakness may easily be turned into our greatest strength. For practical, workable, successful purposes I find no flaw in the plan. With it I expect New Hampshir~ to ally herself and that all the other Grand Lodges will do likewise. Then shall it come to pass, should war, famine, disaster, or any great crisis come upon us, that there shall be a voice which may utter the words, "I speak for the Freemasonry of the United States," and there will be the machinery, with heart and money behind it, to carry out the impulses of our institution. To thwart us, then opposition will have to come into the open and it will be found to be so weak that it will be brushed aside. I live in the hope and in the expectation of wi\nessing this great consummation.

Missouri is treated kindly in a little more than two pages, and the correspondent receives a compliment which he will not forget. Thanks, good Br.other.

The One Hundred and Thirty-ninth Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the State of New York was opened in the Grand Lodge Room, Masonic Hall, City of New York, on the afternoon of May 4, A. D. 1920" A. L. 5920, at two o'clock. A constitutional number of lodges being present (10), the Grand Lodge was opened in ample form with prayer by R. W. Cornelius Woelfkin, Grand Chaplain. ANNUAL ADDRESS.

The Annual Address of the M. W. Grand Master, Han. Wm. S. Farmer, covers some forty-five pages, and is a masterly document, setting forth the present proud position of Freemasonry in the Empire State, From it we quote several paragraphs, regretting that our space forbids more. The Grand Master said:

1920.]

Appendix.

I am pleased to report that unusual harmony has prevailed, that no factional, personal, or other differjlnces have interfered with our steady progress, and that the Fraternity today in this State holds a high position in the galaxy of fraternal organizations.

Refer.ring to the Fraternal l?ead he said: Character is the robe of the soul and, clad in its imperishable textures, no Brother need fear to face the Great Unknown. He will find his life and all of its vital corresp-ondences in that glorious realm where heart' and mind, according well with the supreme purposes of the Divine Architect of human destiny, shall make one splendid harmony.

Of the Sinking Fund.he says:

Look at the record. In five years' the Craft has paid into this fund the sum of $1,435,288.03 and our indebtedness has been reduced by reason of it to eight hundred thousand ($800,000.00) dollars. Of course, we are proud.

and: The War and Relief Fund, today, amounts to the sum of $575,522.32, paid in. There are stili furUier amounts to be raised. SOLDIERS AND SAILORS MEMORIAl... HOSPITAL.

Of this, the Grand Master says: We are building at Uti'ea a Masonic Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hospital. We must have funds to completely complete this building as well as to furnish it and when in working order to maintain it up to the time when the income from the Endowment Fund will be sufficient for the purpose, which will be probably five years, perhaps longer. What of this Hospital? At the last session of the Gra,nd Lodge the following resolution was unanimously adopted: (See page 208 of the Proceedings.) "Resolved: That the War and Relief Administration be and it is hereby authorized, directed and empowered to build at Utica a hospital in accordance with the plan and scope outlined by the Grand Master in his address', and that the War and Relief Administration devise way,s 'and means for the maintenance thereof." Therefore the War and Relief Administration is, under the instructions, building the Hospital. It will cost to build about the sum of $700,000.00. THE ENDOWMENT FUND.

At the last session of the Grand Lodge the machinery was 'started which if it is kept going will, in time, not only supply all necessary funds for the support of the Hospital but of the Masonic Home and other enterprises. as well. The.. proposed amendments mean just this: That for the con路 tinuous support and maintenance of this Home and of the Hospital, there .shall be paid to the Trustees of the Hall and Asylum Fund, for each person initiated the sum of ten dollars and for the reinstatement 0'" every expelled, unaffiliated or nonaffiliated brother

Said fuilds to be forever kept intact; safely invested by the Trustees and the income thereon used for the b~nefit of the Home and Hospital as deemed. advisable. Before these proposed amendments become the law of the Craft, they must be submitted to and adopted by three-quarters of all the lodges in the State. It is the work"of the Deputies and the Staff to see ot it that these amendments are adopted by he required number o'f lodges. The creation of the Endowment Fund is the most progressive and up to date step ever taken by this fraternity. You may be told that ten dollars added to an initiation. fee will l{eep applications away. Such ought not to be the case, for money will not purchase what it would when you and I joined. Further, Freemasonry .is not a· necessity, but a luxury, and any man who really wants to join the Order will not let an additional ten dollars or twenty dollars prevent him from making application. ALL LODGES TO WORK IN "ENGLISH."

On this the GrandMaster says: What of the Edict, ratified and confirmed at the last Grand Lodge Session, that all work in the lodges be· in the English language? . It seems to be the consensus of opinion that such action was a -step in the right direction. The war unified America and Americanized citizens of alien birth as no other influence could. The war proved to be a mighty stimulant for the Americanization· of American citizens, wherever born. This unification must be fostered and cemented. The greatest influence in this direction is to bring men and women into knowledge of the general speech. To lecture an alien to become an American may be of some use, but he would form more real contacts in a week if his insulation were broken than from a year of exhortation. The foreign language press, even though it loudly praises America, necessarily tends to perpetuate immigrant colonies. So does the foreign language pulpit and the foreign language lodge. The language problem facing America is different from that facing any other country. The question has nothing whatever to do with the advantages of knowing more than one language, or the inherent superiority of one language above another. If every American knew American, then as iiiany other 'languages might be taught as could be absorbed. The problem here is to have a common la.nguage as· national cement. It is a political matter and not a cut"tural· one, although some confuse the two things and deem it narrow to exclude ·the alien tongues. Depend upon it, brethren, we must look forward to the time when the foreign language press and the foreign language church and the foreign language lodge fraternity are ended, except as able to survive among those who know English as well. For the reason that it has come to my attention that certain lodges working in a foreign tongue could not get ready to work entirely in English by July 1st, I have extended the time for them

The Proceedings' of the Grand Lodge of New Zealand for the year 1918-19, constitute a neat little volume of 199 pages, filled with matter neatly arranged and wholly relevant. Of course as it is mostly occupied with items of mere routine and contains much data in the way of names and tabular statements, it would not greatly interest any except in that Grand Jurisdiction. The election of the Grand Officers and their installation in full ceremonial form occupy much space and many pages are given to the report on Necrology. The financial condition seems excellent as. the treasurer reports nearly $260,000 of various funds on hand or safely invested. Thr~e lodges were constituted during the year. From the address of the Grand Master we give the following extract:

1 earnestly hope that men will learn the lessons that the war has taught. Might is not Right.' Deceit can never triumph. The spirit of, the savage can never prevail; but great nations who breathe the spirit of To!erance, of Liberty, of Justice, of Truth. and of Honor, will stand forever like the mountains. '1 know enough today of Masonic bodies to be able to assert with certainty that as social institutions they can quietly exercise路a great force for the good of humanity. A Masonic Lodge benefits not only its individual members, but through each member. it helps to promote the well-being of those who have no right of entrance within its walls. Especially is this the case in modern times, when pernicious doctrines are unsettling the world. No state can live except under. reasonable discipllne. No man is safe unless his life, his liberty, and his possessions are well protected by a p~operly constituted state;- Today we witness the sorrowful spectacle of a vast empire thrown into confusion, her people slain, her authority overthrown, her territory and her riches given over to the will and the lust of multitudes of lawless revolutionaries. The individual can achieve success a;nd gain worldly possessions, by one of two ways. The old-fashioned and respectable method involves the exercise of his natural talents and energies. That is the Masonic road to success and self respect.

ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY -SECOND ANNUAL COMMUNICATION.

The Grand Lodge of Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons, of North Carolina, convened in its one hundred and thirty-second Annual Communication in the hall of the Masonic Temple, in the City of Raleigh, on Tuesday evening, January 21, 1919, at 7: 30 o'clock, and was opened in Ample Form, M. W. George S. Norfleet,' Grand Master, presiding, it appearing that a constitutional number of lodges was represented. Prayer by Rev. H. A. Brown, D. D., Grand Chaplain. In the Annual Address, the Grand Master occupies 30 pages in reporting the incidents of his Administration, rarely indulging in sentiment and showing by his terse statement of facts the versity of what he states in hi; exordium-that he is only a "business man" with no claims to oratory. Yet his address lacks nothing 'in polish or fitness. We give an extract from his exordium:

,libe'rty of mankind. The horrors of war were being felt all over the world and men were beginning to wonder whether or not civilizat;on was a thing of the past. Millions of men still believed, however, in the Fatherhood of God ahd the Brotherhood of Man and knew that right must finally overcome might and that victory must soon be the reward of those who were seeking to do .justice to all the world. And so, today, as we meet we are indeed happy that the Dogs of War have been chained OrlCe more, that victory has come to the cause of the Allies and of our own dear America, and that we firmly believe a lasting and righteous peace will soon be given to all the world. I wish I had the wOl'ds to' 'tell 'you of the valiant deeds'done by the Soldier Masons of North Carolina, who have helped to win th'is victory, but an eloquent tongue is not mine and time also forbids the recounting of their many deeds of bravery and valor.. Historians of the future will record the deeds done by our brethren and we will be proud of them. Let us pailse a moment with bowed ,heads and with hearts overflowing with love and sympa'thy in honor of those of our number who have made the supreme sacrifice in the great struggle just passed, and have "gone west," over the hills, into the realm of a glorious eternity. All honor to their memory and thanks to God that they did not die in vain.

The Grand Master devotes a goqd deal of. space to war activities' and especially to the good work done for, members of the order, while at Camp Sevier where the Grand Lodge of Nbrth and South Carolina erected a lodge room. The Grand Master a.rrested the ch~rter of a lodge which hart manifestly violated. Masonie law a,nd :usage. ,He also and very properly removed a Worshipful Master from office, for unmasonic conduct. " . . He made sOJ?e forty ~'so-caIled" decisions during the, year but, only reports one, or two of only local interest. NEW LODGES CREATED AND CONSTITUTED.

Four new lodges were created by the Grand Master during the" year, and five SpeCial Communications w'ere held for the purposes of laying cornerstones, funerals, etc., etc. , He reports the Oxford 'Orphan Asylum and Eastern Star Home in good condition. The Grand Master reports additional revenue' is needed because of changed conditions' and suggests either an increase in dues from $1.00 to $1.50-to add $10.00 to the cost of the degrees. He states that as the minimum for the degrees is now $15,.00, the addition of $10.00, making it $25.00, would be no disadvantage to country lodges. We would say not! Fifteen dollars for the 'three degrees of Freemasonry seems to us altogether too little. Masonry must not be made too cheap.

Appendix.

From the report of the ~Committee 'on Necrology, we select the following: "\Vhile we mourn' for those who shall not return, let us not be so selfish as to forget those who mourn. We owe them a debt we can never pay, for it is they who have paid a double price for the liberty in which we rejoice. They have made the Supreme sacrifice for the cause of freedom; for they have given what was much more' precious than their own lives. Let us make them understand that we suffer '\-'ith them, that we honor them, and wish to help them by our prayers, our counsel and our triumphant faith. To' those soldie~ boys who have "gone West" we can pay no adequate tribute. They 'have gone over the purple hills and beyond the softly glowing rim of life's day;' out of the morning, across the white archway of noontide, down to the sunset. These stainless souls' in a stainless 'cause move down the West where earth'~ last glimmer fades and dies, and on into God's spreading dawn, whose light路 is eternal, and whose breath is cool and sweet-my son, your son-"gone .West:' . "God's test of manhood is, I know, Not, 'Will he come?' but, 'Did he go?' If he comes not again to me, I shall be sad: but not that he Went like a man, a hero true, His part unselfishly to do.

, The Grand Master's suggestion to charge. ten dollars additional for every initiate was finally adopted to take effect April 1, 1919. H.I~PORT

ANNUAL ADDRESS.

The Grand Master / well met the high expectations of the Grand Lodge as his address was received with frequent and prolonged applause. He begins very happily: To

th~

Grand Lodge A. F. & A. M. of North Dakota: A year ago we met in perhaps the darkest hour of the Great World War. The long range gun was shelling Paris. General Haig was fighting with his back against the wall. German submarines were plying around our own shores. But it is always darkest just before the dawn. The American army was-over-nearly a million strong. At Chateau-Thierry Americans stemmed the tide and proved to the world that a peace-loving people can fight. Today we meet for our thirtieth annual communication to consider not the problems of war but the problems of peace. Victory is won but peace is not secure. Unrest is brooding over the world. In. the wake of this war the very powers of hell have been let loose. Radicals are preaching discontent and class hatred and are appealing to the feelings a'nd not to reason. Masonry was built upon the foundation stone of equality and the history of Masonry proves that equality 路finds its best expression in the democracy of American ideals. Masons have throughout history been leaders in thought and action. Masons must now help others to do clear thinking and face in a rational way the great problems of peace and reconstruction.

. . . .-.

The Grand Master grants two Dispensations to lodges to appear in pat~iotic parades. He anticipates criticism by stating that such were common in former days-or words to that effect. And owing to the prevailing. epidemic-influenza-he issued a "general dispensation" covering all cases of lodges desiring such dispen'sations (?). He reports no Decisions. The Grand Master' further says: In some instances brethren have taken the attitude that Masonic charity must undertake to protect criminals even though there was no question of the fairness of the trials and the justice of the verdicts in the courts. Nothing can more seriously prejudice our great fraternity than the charge that unworthy men are protected by us.

Appendix.

1920. ]

It is our judgment that whenever a member of the Masonic fraternity is convicted of a crime he cuts himself off from Masonic relations just as he is cut off from civil rights, and' that our laws should be so amended as to provide that the presentation to a lodge of a transcript of the information or indictment together with the spntence of the court will carry with it, after aPl?roval by the Grand Lodge, expulsion from the fraternity. We recommend this suggestion to your careful consideration.

•

This suggestion was finally adopted-very wisely as we think. AS TO THE "GROTTO."

The Grand Master refers to the condemnatory action of the Grand Lodge last year on this subject and states that a high official of that "order" had submitted to him an appeal to have the action rescinded. 'I:his re-referred to the Committee on Jurisprudence they unanimously reported "no further action necessary" and after a considerable debate the action was sustained. "So mote it be." AS TO FRENCH MASONRY."

After an exhaustive report by the special committee recommending such action the Grand Orient and the Grand Lodge of France with French Colonies were "recognized" by a large vote! We venture the prophesy that some Grand Lodges will not be so .liberal in their conclusion and action for many years to come. FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE.

Appendix. Fn'TY-FOURTH ANNUAL COMMUNICATION,

held at Glasgow, N. S., beginning labor on Wednesday, June 11th, with opening ceremonies as usual. Prayer by the Grand Chaplain. The Grand Master in response to invitation from the Grand Lodge of ,Iowa to attend the 75th Anniversary of the formation of the Grand Lodge, directed the Grand Secretary to tel~graph congratulations and good wishes. DIVINE SERVICES.

The Grand Lodge moved in procession to the United Presbyterian Church, where the Grand Chaplain preached a sermon remarkable for several things. We give the text, etc.: I Kings VII, 22.-"And upon the top of the pillars was lily work so was the work of the pillars finished." It is believed that the two pillars at the porch or entrance of King Sot"omon's Temple were not· in any way connected with. the support of the roof but were simply used for ornamentation and symbolism. The Symbolism was of the Deity, and the fact that there were two had its roots in a. period prior to the time when Solomon raised his house to the glory of the one true God.

•

The sermon was excellent and withal peculiar in that it consisted almost entirely of brief paragraphs, sometimes wholly disconnected-after the. manner of the ~ook of Proverbs. . The death of Thos. Mowbray, Grand Secretary, in his 80th year, cast a gloom over the Communication. He was wise and~ worthy. . THE ANNUAL ADDRESS.

This covers some thirty-three pages in a strong and withal, gracefully worded presentation of the acts and incidents of the year, with many lofty sentiments, especially in the exordium from which we select as follows:-

•

Events of great and momentous importance have transpired since we last met. For more than four years, the greatest and most tragic war in history has scourged the earth, in its consuming flame millions of our fairest manhood have been distroyed causing untold sorrow and suffering to millions more. Most happily this great war has ended in an equally great victory. In the complete vidication of the principle of Freedom and Jusfice and true brotherhood, right has prevailed. over wrong, goodness has -overcome evil doing and today we have the sublime spectacle without parallel in the annals of history of the statesmen and leaders of the great Allied nations of the world arranging a peace of unselfishness. Entering into a Covenant of true Brotherhood called a League of Nations whereby the strong' are pledged to support the weak and establish universal

peace in the world. Verily a better day is dawning-when the fundamental Principles which from time Immemorial have guided the Craft in all their dealings, viz., Freedom, Equality and Brotherhood have been embodied in'a solemn Covenant to' control the affairs of the Great Enlightened nations. of the world.

•

Although the war is ended, the fight on behalf of Brotherhood i8 really just begun. The hopes and aspirations of the world are centered in the success of the League of Nations. "To this event the ages ran Make way for Brotherhood, make way for man." We may then be l)ardoned if we glory in the great progress which Masonry is making throughout the Allied nations. For If true to its principles no .. Institution is ·50 well fitted to assist the Church in its Holy Mission of propagating and developing the true Spirit of Brotherhood as is our Beloved Order. The Streams of its Benevolence have ftowed to every corner of the world, manifesting' everywhere, unostentatiously, the principles of Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth. Overleaping the artificial barriers of nations, and the prejudice of race It has embraced all the peoples of the earth. It r~ally seems a!\. if designed by the great architect of the uni~ verse 'to ·unite the whole of mankind in one .Common Brotherhood, fulfilling in very truth the prayer and prophecy of our eminent brother, the Immortal Bard of Scotland (Robie Burns) when he said "Then let us pray that come what may As come it will for a'that When man to man the world o'er Shall Brothers be an a'that.

THE MASONIC HOME.

The Grand Master is earnest in his advocacy of the Masonic Home. Stresses its need of funds and finally by action or" Grand Lodge, an appeal was made last year for an endowment of $150,000, of which nearly one-third was reported as pledged at the last Grand Lodge. There were 17 inmates and the expenditure indicated an average per capita cost of some $435.00. The Committee on Physical Qlialifications declined to make any suggestions as to ab'solute r.ules, but recommend that the Grand Master to whom 'all doubtful cases should be referred, interpret the law' as liberally as possible for the benefit. of any soldiers and sailors. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE.

The correspondent,. who. is also Grand. S~cretary, occupies .258 pages in a careful and kindly review of 62 Grand Lodges or rather of their Proceedings. We copy from his introduction:

Appendix.

[Sept.

It is a matter of great regret to the writer that many jurisdictions appear to be quite willing to tear down the foundations upon which the "Altar" of Freemasonry was built by doing away with physical qualifications and also the use of one of our three great lights, namely, the "Holy Bible.'~ I venture to express the hope that this jurisdiction, at least, will remain true to the principles and precepts of our noble order. It is quite - tn~e that this awful war through which we have just emerged has deprived us of the privilege of many excellent men from uniting with us, some of them the very "Gems" of the world, but was this not the case after previous wars? Within my own recollection I know it was so after South Africa. True they were much fewer in number, but after all they were just as good men and does quantity count? . Then again, if you start in and recognize Grand Lodges who do away with the use of the "Holy Bible" it will in my opinion, not be long before you will have destroyed the "Corner Stone" of Freemasonry and placed it on a very sandy shoal upon which its future influence for the good of mankind will be obliterated.

(To all of which we agree). Brother Jones makes comparatively few selections, and his comments -are always judicious and though strongly expressed, -he is never sarcastic or unkind. He complime~ts our Grand Jurisdiction with three vages, finding nothing to condemn, and withal is complimentary to both the Grand Lodge and the correspondent. For which thanks-and again-thanks!

'THE ANNUAL ADDRESS.

My Beloved Brethren of the Grand Lodge of Ohio: Another year of Masonry has. passed into history. Much of that history will be written into perpetual record, much will remain for sweet memory only. As the years roll on our sorrows will fade away into the shadows of the past, our joys will be fringed with the silver lining, of hope for eternal happiness. We will become as little children in the care of Him who knoweth and doeth all things well. As we bow with reverence to Him who has thought wise to remove from our ranks many of our dearest and ablest Brethren, let us remember that our numbers are constantly being augmented tenfold with good men and true who are full of life, strength, and knowledge to carryon the gre!'Lt work which is found for our hands and minds to do. Never in our history has Masonic duty been laid more heavily upon us. Let each路 of you, my Brethren, here resolve to do his full part of the work before us. I urge each of you to be strong in your loyalty to your Maker, your country, your fellowman, and to our great Fraternity. DISPENSATIONS.

Goddard, representing the Masonic Temple Building Association (in which the service was held), and the nine affiliated bodies therein, delivered an address of welcome, which met with worthy response from the Grand Orator, Bro. Henry S. Johnson. In the ab~ence of the Grand Chaplain, prayer was offered by Rev. W. Mark Sexsan, from which we quote in part:

â&#x20AC;˘

We thank Thee, Our Father, that Thou hast watched over our nation and that Thou hast given unto the forum of our order, men and women, all over this land who have stood for the right and for the truth. We thank Thee for our Brethren in the Masonic Lodge in this state and that their homes have been the very place for the inculcating of great principles and -Thou hast been gracious and good and kind to us. And we pray Thy blessings to be upon everyone; be \-Ipon our Officers, our Brethren who have been selected by their Bretpren to carryon this great work; be upon those who shall come to take added and new responsibilities and let us not overlook the fact, Gracious Father, that Masonry under the leadership of these great men has a wonderful work to do in the future and - in that great work of ours, may we be supported-helped and supportedand guided to uphold the principles of the institution, to plan it a little higher up the hillside of progress; to make the world realize something of its dignity and its power and never overlooking the fact that in our proudest moments, we shall turn back to lay our hand upon the very foundation of all government and -that we shall stand as obedientÂˇ citizens to the law, to the constitution of our

1920.]

country, to constituted authority for it is our.... ambition, Our Father, that Thy blessings may be ulwn us in our deHbe~ations in this Grand Lodge and everything that is said and done, may it be said and done to glorify 'Our God, the Supreme Architect of the Universe. Amen. THE ANNUAL ADDRESS.

This covers 54 pages, leaving little that should or could be said with reference to th~ year's doings and incidents, and outlying conditions connected therewith. AI). occasional and worthy sentiment finds expression but for the most part the Grand Master confines himself to a statement of facts. He reports a long list of fraternal dead and many Emergent Communicatipns at some of which he presided in person. He issued many Dispensations, some to change location and some to, attend Divine Service. He gives the following slatement: In the treasuries of the constituent .lodges in the state, we have a total of $153,388,12. We have 112 lodges whose treasurer and secretary are bonded and 89 carrying insurance on lodge property. They have expended for entertainment, $19,066.67; for charity, $56,971.50; and have invested in Liberty Bonds and War Savings Stamps $139,706.40. The American flag is displayed in every Masonic lodge in the state and of the great American army who have volunteered to carry that symbol of freedom and universal brotherhood into "No Man'S, Land," are 8,890 Oklahoma Masons,

This shows an excellent financial condition and commands our respect by the facts revealed. The Grand Master granted Dispensations for the creation of three new lodges during the year. Owing to the prevalence of the influenza epidemic and after careful consultation the date of the meeting of the Grand Lodge was changed from February 25th to Apr'n 29th. He recommends that hereafter all financial officers of lodges be required to execute a bond with some reliable surety company. He reports the cons'olidation of four lodges into two. Also that one charter was arrested and one surrendered during the year. Referring to the war the Grand Master says : Then came the day when a certain division was ordered to entrain, presently to embark the seas made treacherous by a "nation with a submarine souL" We heaved a sigh of rOeHef when the printed postcard told us that the vessel upon which they had sailed had landed safely. We were carefree 'while their period of training was resumed upon the soil of Lafayette. As they were brought up nearer to the battle lines the anxious moments were resumed; when the

The Grand Master speaks of the Masonic Home-its management and work in commendatory and tender terms. He advises against a cipher key-(so do we!) }<'OREIGN CORRESPONDENCE.

This covers 63 pages in a review of the Proceedings of 46 Grand Lodges. Of course each review is brief, but all are worthy. OUf good Brother introduces the Report with a page or two of interesting and informing matter. The last paragraph is tender and touching: Moving down the stream of life many great and good Masons including a number of authors of Masonic reports have crossed the continent of this life, since the last grand communication. The days of the years of my pilgrimage are three score-plus ten years, forty-nine yeal:s a Mason. Remorseless' Time, on and on he rushes. In making this report, I desire my readers to remember it was written in strenuous times in the history of the world and of individuals as well.

We do not count that old in Missouri. Let Bro. Humphrey make us a visit and renew his youth. As we explained last year our reason for omitting Oklahoma was that we did not receive a copy of Proceedings in time. We could not pass over Oklahoma "in an airplane," as he suggests nor through it in a railroad train without desiring to stop, at least at Muskogee, where we have enjoyed the delightful hospitality of our honored friend and brother, James A. Scott and his dear family, as also the kindly courtesy of the fraters of that City. Great is Oklahoma, and great is Muskogee! For the kind words of our Brother as to Missouri and the correspondent, we extend thanks. And may he multiply his years and long continue to write the Report on Correspondence.

ANNUAL SESSION.

Held at Portland, beginning its labors in the Masonic Temple on Wednesday, June 11th, at 10 A. M. Opening ceremonies as usual. Grand Representatives introduced by Grand Master. The Grand Master is to be complimented on his address, which is a model-in its brevity-five and a haIr pages only! Altogether out of proportion to the bulky volume which it initiates and which as it seems to us, contains much of practical repetition and much that if not irrelevent, might with propriety, be omitted. The Grand Master takes rather a gloomy view to the general situation in Oregon and intimates much that is' unmasonic as existing in connection with Masonry in that Jurisdiction. He pleads for harmony and states specifically that the present is probably the most important meeting in the history of the Grand Lodge. We suppose that the Grand Master believed that the existence and work of the recently organized institution known as The Masters' Wardens' an~ Past Masters' Association to be fraught with evil to the Fraternity and with him were' many sympathizers. This brought before the Grand Lodge was followed by' prolonged discussion, and being referred to the Committee on Jurisprudence, they referred the matter to the incoming Grand Master with provisional instructions to examine' into and <)ll his judgment to grant authority to the Association to continue their organization. We really fear that this may add to the existing complications and in this crisis of affairs-the creation of a Masonic Home, etc., may- be an evil. We do not intend this however, as a criticism upon the character or intelligence of our brethren. It appearing that nearly $50,000' had been collected for a Masonic Home, it was determined to at once purchase a site and proceed in the erection of suitable buildings, etc.

the special work set out on the "Trestle Board," and the book has not an uninteresting page· in it. The Grand Lodge mourns the departure of M. W. Brother Wm. L. Gorgas, P. G. M., and M. W. Brother J. Henry Williams, P. G. M., both of whom have been commanding figures in the "K;eystone" Grand Jurisdiction for 'm~ny years. Touching and appropriate eulogies were pronounced by several brethren, includ~ng M. W. Brother Louis Watres, and M. W. Brother Edgar-A. Tennis. The Grand Lodge also suffers an irreparable loss through the passing of Wor. Brother Julius F. Sachse, for long years its -esteemed Librarian, and one of the most notable figures in wor.ld-wide Freemasonry. ·We have for long years read his contri.butions· to Masonic Literature, and join with the multitude of brethren who lament his departure. FINANCES.

Probably no Grand Lodge in the world can make such a favorable showing financially as can the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania, and many brethren in that Grand Jurisdiction make it. the beneficiary of their wealth. Its Charity Fund, its Girard Bequest, and other similar foundations, combine ·to make up one of the most - influential agencies for the spreading of Masonic -Charity in existence, and these are managed by men of the highest standing in the commonwealth. It may be news to many of our brethren in Missouri to know that the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania owns property in the' City of St. Louis of the value of more than half a milli~n dollars, this having come to the~ by bequest. The balance sheet of November 15, 1919, shows credits' amounting to $5,201,605.73. Truly a wonderful exhibit! COMMITTEE ON TEMPLE.

The Report of the Committee on Temple discloses some interesting items. We quote the following: During the year there were 7558 visitors (not including the visitors during the Conclave week) conducted through the Temple from every State in the Union, from foreign countries an'd students from colleges and high ano normal schools. Everyone visiting our Temple expressed deep appreciation of its beauty, harmony of colors and architectural designs and artistic taste and gave strict attention to lectures on the same. Every guest received a most coroial welcome. The Committee has been met 'with a serious problem that· it feels calls for action on the part of the Grand Lodge. Men who have been employed at the Temple and served faithfully for many ~"ears have failed in health with the weight of ad-

vancing years and have become permanently incapacitated from further service. It has not seemed fair to carry them on the payroll at full pay, rior is it in keeping with the principles of our Fraternity to turn them off. It has, therefore, seemed wise to adopt a plan for pensioning said employees. EMPLOYMENT BUREAU.

From the repo!t of the committee we quote the following: Number of applicants since last report. " 1,704 Number of applicants placed since last report.......... 641 Aggregate salaries of those placed since last re'port $1,064,633.00 Average yearly salaries of those placed........ 1,660.89 Positions were secured for sixty women, widows, wives and daughters of Masons, of whom three were widows over sixty-five years of age. Among the number of Masons placed in sUDPorting positions were: 1 man 75 years of age; 5 men 70 years of age; 21 men 60 years of age. This year we pave placed: 1 at $10,000; 1 at $7,500; 1 at $6,000; 3 at $5,000; 1 at $4,000; 1 at $3,500; 12 at $3,000; 11 at $2,500; 15 at $2,000. We also placed three women, two men and four boys from the Homes. Among the total number of applicants placed, eighty-eight Masons were affiliated with Lodges from all parts of Pennsylvania, exclusive of Philadelphia, and forty-nine Masons affiliated with Lodges outside of Pennsylvania, representing practically every State in the Union. Among this number, eighty-eight service' men were placed and twelve Masons from foreign countries were given positions. ADDRESS OF THE GRAND MASTER.

At the Annual Comm,unication of the Grand Lodge of Pennsyl路 vania, held ,on December 27, 1919, M. W. Brother James B. Krause delivered a memorable address which is a document of great worth. It reveals much of the inner workings of the Grand Body, and replete with many details. Many edicts were issued by the Grand Master, mostly connected with irregular acts on the part of subordinate lodges, and in the main caused by confusion caused by the world war.

DECISIONS.

Concerning the Eastern Star the following is interesting: Notwithstanding decisions of Grand Masters that Masonic Halls and Lodge Rooms cannot be used for meetings of a society }{nown as the Eastern Star, numerous requests ,have been made during the past year to permit meetings of such society in such Halls and Rooms, which were in every instance refused.

[Sept.

Masonry can have no quarrel with those who are near and dear to it by tender ties, nor with their right to organize as they may deem meet, but they cannot thereby knoc}{ at hte doorÂˇ of Masonry for recognition, sanction or approval. The Lodges,' or those acting for them, cannot do by indirection that which is expressly prohibited. Those of our brethren who encourage this organization, directly or indirectly, to engraft itself upon Freemasonry, are guilty of aiding' and abetting an innovation upon the body of Freemasonry. We have spoken at length upon this matter because of the un~ usual' activities of this organization in Pennsylvania at this time. DECISIONS.

The following are worthy of note: Decided that a brother charged with a criminal offense should not be advanced to an office in the lodge, whether such charge is â&#x20AC;˘ well founded or not. The honor, reputation and usefulness of the lodge must first be considered, even though a complete vindication resulted. . , Suspended the function of one who while" in position of trust under Grand Lodg-e,' so far forgot himself and his duty to the Craft as to be guilty of using Masonry to advance his political ambition. Refused several requests for Lodges to wear Masonic clothing and take part in Welcome Home Parades. Advised in - each case that Masons, as individuals should participate in such parades, but not as a lodge, or in lodge formation. Our time-honored- standards must be adhered to no matter how meritorious or worthy the cause. Requests for permission to appropriate lodge funds for Community Houses, War Memorial Funds, Welcome Home Funds, etc., were refused. All such objects are highly commendable and patriotic, but our fixed standards do not permit indiscriminate' appropriation of the funds of the lodge for purposes not Masonic. MASONIC HOMES.

Ten bequests are recorded in favor of the Masonic Homes during the year, and. the work which is being done at. Elizabethtown, Pa., is very enc-ouraging. THOMAS RANKEN PATTON MASONIC INSTITUTION FOR BOYS.

The fund for the establishment of this Institution became available las~ September, .and amounts in round figures to' more than a million and a quarter dollars. This is to be used for the purpose of equipping worthy boys for their life work, and is perhaps the most outstanding charity of its kind in the world. We shall watch progress with great interest.

AN UNHAPPY CONDITION;

Besides th.e "Sovereign" Grand' Lodge, there are two other so-called Grand Lodges in Queensland-one created by the Grand Lodge of England, and one by that of Scotland. This naturally involves complication and as the "Sovereign" Grand Lodge was first organized it would seem that this has prior claim on the territory. This is, strongly protested by the latter, and hence the recent action of England and Scotland in proposing the creation of another Grand Lodge in which all shall unite meets with decided oppositi~n from, the Grand Lodge claiming supreme jurisdiction. We have too little information on tp.e subject to express an opinion, yet our sympathies go out naturally to the brave little Grand Lodge, now recognized by us and which has maintained such a consistent Masonic character since its creation. We trust this unfortunate situation may soon be adjusted and, thus the world may behold another' demonstration of the unity of our Great Order.

The Committee on Correspondence reported that owing to varying statements as to French Masonry, it would be best, if not necessary, in order to obtain an exhaustive and satisfactory report, to appoint a larger committee, and many languages being involved to have on this Committee linguists of sufficient ability to examine into the condition and claims of all foreign Grand Lodges, so as to know definitely' as to the propriety of their being recognized.

This covers 36 pages and begins with reflections upon the Great War and its aftermath. The Grand Master reports the general conditions of the craft as good and that there have been over 800 additions during the year but adds that many of these are residents of other Grand Jurisdictions, and were admitted as army or navy applicants.. He alludes with approval to the great activity and good work of the Newport brethren-rendered possible and even necessary from the fact that Newport became during the war a large and important naval base.

He created an "Over-Seas Lodge" with the provision that the Dispensation should be limited in' duration to the end of the war or the removal from Coblenz, GermanY,-the seat of the lodge-of the officers of the lodge. The Grand Master discusses Masonry in general at length, arriving at the conclusion that Ancient Craft Masonry represented by the "Blue Lodge" is not only symbolic but supreme-that he-as . Grand Master, would have the right to demand admission to a Commandery of Knights Templars, etc., etc. He also calls attention to an article in the Constitution that "no person shall be present in a symbolic lodge wearing a jewel or regalia other than that pertaining to symbolic degrees!" Literally understood this would ~ require a brother having a Knight Templar and Chapter charm on his watch chain, to leave it outside.

Further on 'he

Seeing so many at this Half-Yearly Communication-more than I. have ever seen before-I think you inust have in your hearts the memory of what I said to you _When we separated last April, and retain the recollection of how we stood that night only six months ago. Brethren, you will re~ember my last words to you were: "We stand tonight with our backs to the wall, ready to strike a blow for King and Country and the right." At that time we all suffered ftom the depressing tidings which came in day by day from the Western Front. We were standing with our backs to the wall. I think it was on that very day that General Haig had said to his troops that they must stand with their backs to the wall, and fight to the last. There were few of us who realized then, that that great genius-at, the present moment the greatest man in Europe, perhaps in the world-General Foch, was a man of strategy, and the man who knew exactly what he was doing, and why he was doing it. Few of us realized that six months ago, and now how do we stand? The English, the French, with the Australians-they are all one -and the Americans, our cousins and great helpers in this war, are winning on every side. The German armies are being driven back . on the Western Front, while in the Bast Bulgaria "is not," and we are masters of the Holy Land. What a contrast!

We give an extract from the impressive prayer of the Grand Chaplain:

•

Bless our Brethren who have followed the true line of Duty. '\Ve thank Thee that Thou has endued them with such courage, fortitude, and wisdom, that they have proved victorious. Grant that those who face death for the sake of justice and mercy may receive Thy Grace. ..,...Lead Thou those who toil and fight for the overthrow .of evil, that they may secure complete victory. Grant them a safe return ih days of established and righteous peace. In these days of rejoicing, comfort them that sorrow for loved ones who will no.t return. May the memory of our noble dead inspire us through the coming years. Guide the rulers of Thy people, that they be not misled by the craft and subteIty of those who seek peace without working righteousness. Le~ by Thy wisdom may our rulers be enabled to secure peace that is peace indeed. Fit us rightly to use the kreat gift of peace. Enable us in the ;coming days of triumph to hold the scales of justice with equal poise....Try us by the line of Thy unerring Justice; illuminate us with the knowledge of Thy Truth; cleanse our, heart from every baneful and malignant passion, that we may be fitted for mastery.' Let the whole of mankind be made to bless Thy name in the day when Thou shalt give us the final. victory.

The spirit of true Masonic Charity is well manifested in this Grand Jurisdiction and its benevolences are worthy in the amount and purposes.

But with all let us as Masons lift our hearts to God in gratitude for the manifold blessings which we enjoy and 'know that through the deva13tations of war and plague He is but "removing those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain." .

.Altogether the address is the longest on record so far as our observation has extended, owing principally to the fact that t.he Grand Mastez: specifically recites the time, occasion and. circumstances of the great multitude of Dispensations granted by him on account of the exigencies of the war. He is in hearty sYI!!pathy with -the War Work Association and his careful and logical record of all the acts and incidents of his administration indicate a high order of mind and heart. The report covers 90 pages. The Grand Master discusses French Masonry with kindly courtesy, putting a charitable construction on their religious or moral attitude as expressed in the' "creed;" but the Committee on Foreign Correspondence, while dealing courteously with the subject, recommend that the Grand Lodge hold to its attitude in the past-unot to give fraternal recognition to any but English speaking Grand Lodges!" The Grand Master corresponded at length with other Grand Lodges and individuals, sparing neither time nor strength in guarding the interests of the order as represented by the Grand Lodge of South Carolina. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE.

Our good Brother Michie, writes as the Latins say "currente calamo"-with a "running pen"-his report covering 231 pages. He quotes judiciously but infrequently, and his report is largely our expression of facts and personal conclusions. We find nothing to criticise but we do regret the fact that Missouri does no~ have a place in this excellent report.

We bl!3ss Thee for the noble example of those who went forth 'at the call of country to fight for righteousness and justice. While we mourn that some yielded up their lives in the struggle, we glorify Thee for the great sacrifice offered to Thee and to the nation. Remember them, 0 Lord, for good, and may the light of Thy presence ever be with them. Amen." WELCOME!

WELCOME!

Addresses of welcome from the Worshipful Masters of the two city lodges met with graceful response from the Deputy Grand Master. THE ANNUAL ADDRESS.

The Grand Master had been for the past 25 years Grand Secretary, and it was a w~rthY and merited compliment whe'n last year he was elected Grand Master. As wiII be noted he was returned to his former place at this convocation. He very feelingly recognizes the compliment paid him in his opening remarks: He dwells at length on the great war and its results and alludes to the new conditions arising路 therefrom. .

A Pl'endÂŁx:-

[Sept.

- He remembers the fraternal dead and gives the following beautiful selection: GONE WEST, "Gone '\\'est! Over the purple hills and beyond the softly glowing rim of life's day the wanior's spirit takes its flight. Out of the morning, across the white archway of noon-tide, down to the sunset! Out of the din and clamor, out of the bitterness and strife, out of the fierce passion of the combat, into the dreamless silence whose Shadows mark the pathway to the stars! Out of earth's darkening horizon, through the curtained gloom of night, far upon the shoreless sea of fadeless light! Out of the agony of life's Gethsemane,' over the quaking summit of Ca;valry, into the realm of glory, where God's banners never furl,' where victory is sure! So the stainless knight of a stainless cause moves down the west, where earth's last glimmer fades and dies, and into God's spreading dawn, whose light is eternal, whose breath is cool and sweet. Gone West!"

He refers to the separation of the Grand Lodge of Dakota territory into two Grand Lodges when the territory was made into two' states, 30 years ago! In view of the prevailing epidemic and the possibility of lOdges being prevented from meeting, the Grand Master issued a Special Dispensation giving permission in such cases to call special meetings later. To the invitation of the Grand Lodge of England to attend the Grand Lodge at its Peace Celebration" the Grand Master responded in courteous terms, appointing Lieut.-Col. Alonzo B. Sessions, then with the American Army in France, as his proxy. EDUCATIONAL.

He gives a strong plea for Public Schools, and gives the startling statement of a surgeon general in the army that one soldier out of every four was unable to read English written or printed. (Of cour'se most of these were foreigners or negroes.) FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE.

The correspondence report is well written and worthy. The correspondent makes comparatively few selections, but his comments are usually orthodox. Missouri is kindly reviewed in two pages.

The One Hundred and Sixth Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of the Ancient and Honorable Fraternity of Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Tennessee, was held in Freemasons Hall, Nashville, Tennessee, beginning Wednesday, January 28, 1920, at 10 A. M., and there being present the representatives of a constitutional number of Subordinate Lodges, the M. W. Grand Lodge of the Ancient and Honorable Fraternity of Free and Accepted Masons of Tennessee, was opened in Ample Form after prayer by the R. W. Grand Chaplain. M. W. T. J. Brandon, who was elected as Grand Master at the last Annual Communication, having died very soon after his election, the Deputy Grand Master Thos. Steele, Jr., served as Grand Master for the remainder of the year and was elected Grand Master on the first day of the current session. His administration was manifestly satisfactory路 and successful. He thus introduces his-address: To the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge Free and Accepted Masons of The State of Tennessee: Through Divine Providence we are permitted to aRsemble today for the One Hundredth and Sixth Annual Communication. Many things of great import, not only to our Order, but to the whole world, have happened since our last meeting. The }Vorld is full of unrest, but Masonry goes serenely on. While we are blessed with the privilege of meeting again, our hearts are saddened when we remem'ber that since our' last communication a brother, chosen and installed as our Grand Master, has "crossed the river" and passed to his reward. I refer to Brother Thomas J. Brandon, of Dover, whose chair now stands vacant. Brother Brandon entered upon his duties as Grand Master with that zeal and fidelity 'which characterized his life, but in an enfeebled state of health, and was soon forced to enter a hospital for treatment, where he gradually grew weaker, and where he closed his useful life on February '21, 1919. As he cannot report to you his official acts, this sad duty falls on me as Deputy Grand Master.

He further refers to the deceased as follows: He died at St. Thomas Hospital, Nashville, Tennessee, February 21, 1919.

[Sept.

He was born in Dover, sfewart路 County, Tennessee, February 7; 1857, and resided there all his life. He worked on a farm the greater part of his life and was educated in the public schools of Stewart County, and at Broadhurst Institute, Clarksville, Tennessee. The first position or office of trust held by him was Clerk and Master of the Chancery Court of Stewart County, having been appo-in ted by Judge George E. Seay, September, 1881. He resigned in September, 1886, to accept the office of Circuit Court Clerk He held this office until 1902, when he voluntarily retired. In April, 1903, he or~anized the Dover Bank and Trust Company, and from that time until his death was its cashier. On March 21, 1881, he married l\~iss Mollie Hart, and they have two sons and one daughter. . He was a member of the Christian Church, and was active in church and Sunday School work from the time he joined, November 28, 1888, until his death. _ He was raised to the sublime degree of Master Mason in Phoenix Lodge No. 270 (now Dover Lodge No. 270), Dover, Tennessee, in December, 1897, and has served as an officer in said lodge, filting every station except that of Secretary. In the Grand Lodge he served on the Committee on Dispensations and By-Laws, and was elected Junior Grand Warden in 1916, and regularly p'romoted each year, until he attained the exalted position of Grand Master in 1919. In respect to his memory it is my order that this notice be read at the next stated meeting of every Subordinate Lodge in this Grand Jurisdiction, and that the altar of each Lodge be suitably draped in mourning for thirty day~. Bv the -death of our Grand Master I succeed to his prerogatives and d~ties for all purposes, and that those duties may be faithfully performed I earnestly request the co-operation of an the brethren of this jurisdiction.

The Grand Master made a number -of official visits during the year. He granted many Dispensations and wisely refused others. As to physical dil;lability he decided that the lodge itself is the sole judge as to the qualifications of a candidat~. He granted a Dispensation for the creation of one lodge and refused a peti.tion for another. DEGREES BY COURTESY.

During the- year the Grand Master received and granted requests from 24 Grand Jurisdictions for conferring degrees and he applied to the Grand Masters of 33 Grand Jurisdictions to have degrees conferred-which was granted in every case. The courtesy degrees conferred were 197 in number and those received from other Jurisdictions, 312. The Grand Master received a request from -one lodge to have a degree conferred in Germany. Think of it! What was the matter with the Master of that lodge?

THE MASONIC HOME.

The Masonic Home being in financial straits during the year on account of the fund having been exhausted, the Grand Master issued an earnest appeal to the various lodges for immediate assistance, by which timely' aid the Home was cared for comfortably. There are at present some 231 widows and orphans depending on the Home for protection and support. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE.

I have determined to follow that 路beautiful custom and on this occasion we have before us these brethren, and it is with much pleasure that we note so many of you present on this occasion. You and each of you have on your faces written the lines of character of lives well spent. You have served the craft faithfully for almost two score years for路 four decades, for five decades, for six decades and in one instance for seven decades. You men have been leaders in Masonic thought and activity 路in Masonry and without brethren of your standing we would not have been here today and Texas Masonry would not have achieved in the past, the wonderful accomplishments which have been obtained.

The address of the Grand Master, one of the longest on record, covers 110 pages, but Texas is a wonderful State and the address is not out of proportion. It abounds in beautiful sentiments with selections of posey which are apt and striking. We give selections with regret that we cannot give more: My Dear Brethren of the Grand Lodge: Time in his tireless flight has made anothercil'cle of the dial, and ushered in the 84th Grand Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge. Eighty-three years have been gathered from his pauseless pinions since a little band of twenty-seven' Craftsmen assembled in the Senate Chamber in Houston and organized the Gl'and Lodge of Texas. Then it held jurisdiction over three Subordinate Lodges, and a few score tried and trusty Craftsmen. Now it is composed of the representatives of full nine hundred lodges, with an aggregate membership of almost ninety thousand good and true Master Masons. Then, like the "Son of Man" it "had not where to lay its head;" now its constituents have many hundreds of thousands of dollars invested in lodge rooms and Temples in a.lmost ever-y town and community;. . Born in almost synchronous travail with the New Republic, for a dozen years its glorious destiny was linked with the Lone Star Emblem of that Commonwealth. Then by the Treaty of Annexation it transferred its alleg'iance to the Stars and Stripes of the American Union. A dozen years later, true to the tradition of the Old South, its alleg'iance went with the Stars and Bars of the Lost Cause. When the stainless Republic for which our fathers fought, after four years of bloody but glorious warfare, yielded to overwhelming numbers and unlimited resources and accepted the adverse verdict of battle, true to its ancient traditions, 路the Gr~nd Lodge and all its . constituents, fell in line, and at no time in its history has there been an asylum or a refuge in Texas Masonry for a traitor or a disloyal subject to the government of the country in which we have lived.

The wealth and liberality of our Texas brethren is well illustrated in the large amount raised for the Overseas Service men and also for the Corpus Christi storm sufferers. The record is most creditable. The address seems to omit nothing relevant to the Masonic history of Texas in the last year, nor does it fail to record--any and all things needful in keeping in touch with the outside events. And with reference to the condition of affairs in Texas Masonry, the Grand Mastter exhibits a painstaking care that is really much out of the ordinary. His conclusion is most touching and the poem subjoined is so worthy that we copy for the sake of those to whom, as to ourself, it is new: WHEH.E CROSS THE CRO'VDED WAYS. 'Tis only half a tl'uth the poet has su路ng. Of the house by the side of the way; Our Master had neither a house nor a home, But He walked with the crowd day by day, And I think when 1 read of the poet's desire, That a house by the road would be good; But service is found in its tenderest form, \Vhen we walk with the crowd in the road. So I say, let me walk with the men in the road, Let me seek out the burdens that crush; Let me speak a kind word of good cheer to the weak 'Vho are falling behind in the rush. There are wounds to be healed, there are breaks we must mend. There's a cup of cold wa tel' to give; And the man in the road by the side of his friend Is the man who has learned how to live. Then tell me no more of the house by the road; There's only one place I can live: It's there with the men who are toiling along, That are needing the cheer I can give. It is pleasant to live in the house by the way And befriend, as the poet has said, But the Master's bidding us, "Bear ye their load, For your rest waiteth yond~r ahead." I could not remain in the house by the I'oad,

And watch as the toilers go on, Their faces beclouded with pain and with sin, l?o burdened their strength nearly gone. I'll g'O to their side, I'll Sl)eak good cheer, I'll help them carry their load, And I'll smile at the man in the house by the way As I walk with the crowd in the road.

The Annual Address of the Grand Master is a concise document setting forth the salient details of his administration, and containing much of interest to the craft in Utah, and ll~reemasons ' in general. After tender reference to the Fraternal Dead the Grand Master speaks of the several enterprises which are engaging the at路 tention -of the craft throughout the United States, especially referring to the Masonic Service Association, whose meetings he has attended, and the George Washington Memorial Association.

DECISIONS.

Among these' is one of interest which follows: On the occasion of our visits to' certain Lodges, I found some laxness on the part of the Secretaries, who had, for reasons of convenience to themselves, read the minutes of previous 'meetings from penciled hotes路, without having the minutes properly written up in regular form. ,Feelin'g that th(s was irregular procedure and conducive of error and change, and not in accord with Masonic custom, I ruled that "minutes could not be read and approved unless regularly entered in pe'rmanent form." FUNERAL RITUAL.

,.,Of this the Grand Master says: There has been a feeling on the part of many m-embers of the fraternity in this jurisdiction that our funeral ritual should be revised. If you will permit of the expression, I will also add, b'Y humanizing it so as to -make its effect harmonize with the heart throbs of the Brethren who assemble to pay their last sad respects to a departed Brother, and at the same time, give a wise and proper consideration to the welfare of the living.

Speaking of the CONDITION OF THE CRAFT

the Grand Master says: There is a great wave of ,activity in Masonic circles 'throughout the entire country, the reasons for which are hard to' state. It is a fact, nevertheless, and with it we find in Utah a condition almost bordering on excessive activity. Prosperity is everywhere. Large numbers of petitions are coming in. The officers of many Lodges are overworked' to such an extent that I fear the activities of the Lodges require some kind of serious consideration, if we are nof to suffer at some future time for the lack of thorough assimilation by many of our new members of the true practical principles ofMasonry. I While many petitions have been acted upon, I believe the Lodges have been consistently careful and thorough in most respects, but it has been a fear of mine that sometimes there might be a tendency to lose sight of QUALITY in the overwork of quantity, and I hope that a suggestion may cause a little reflection. Be just to the petitioner. Be thorough in safeguarding the welfare of the institution, and in all things of this character remember the Golden Rule, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." WORLD CONDITIONS.

Of these the Grand Master,~ among other things says: The world is at a period where history is in the making and, whether we wish it or not, we have a responsibility resting upon our shoulders. We must marshal our forces. Any part we play will be recorded; if we do well the part assigned to us, we will be rated

as a successful institution, composed of human beings worthy of confidence and respect. If we neglect the resllonsiOilities tllat are ours, some other society wiIl c'ome forth to take the place that we failed to fill successfully. All institutions of pure and lofty ideals are threatened. Radicalism stalks in our very midst. Bolshevism,- anarchy, strikesall the ghastly fiends born of greed and class hatred-cannot live for a moment in a land where the flower of hu.man lives exemplify in their daily acts, the principles of our order, Let us go forth pledged to be friend's to everybody,fri~nds who are newer, truer, closer and better friends, who are able to overlook faults and find the great worth that lies wi1:hin. If we will become in our communities evangelists of prize, and not despise, love and not hate, we can feel sure that the future of all the world is Hafe for ourselves and our Brother men. It is our duty to give to the next generation our present civilization, enlarged and enriched. We must labor to supply a greater security to those three great principles upon which our country was founded-American Democracy, American Freedom. and Amel'ican Fidelity. A truer sense of values is essential. We' must apply ourselves, individually and collectively, to the transfor.ming- of our present state of national unrest into one of reverence for law and order, and to do this we must recognize our responsibilities and be unafraid of anything except wrong. MASONIC HOME.

The Report of the Committee says: As to the feasibility of erecting a Masonic Home in this Grand Jurisdiction cit the present time, we find that the initial cost and expense of maintenance are so great compared to the number of Masons in thiH Grand Jurisdiction, thaCt it is not practicable, in the Ollinion of the committee, to start this work at the present time. We herefore recommend that no action be taken. FORl~IGN

From his "Foreword" we quote a paragraph or two which speak for themselves. French lUasonr,'. During the year various jurisdictions have taken action, favorable and unfavorable, with reference to recognition .. Some, under the leadership of Grand Masters or Special Committees have taken strong ground against our French Brothers. They insist that until the Masonry of France becomes Anglo-Saxon, it must remain without the pale. !<'rnechmen must accept American innovation路s and, "frame to lll'onounce" sectarian dog'mas-bearing labels of American manufacture-or they must remain in outer Masonic darkness. Other jurisdiction"';, have attempted to interpret Masonic principles in service values rather than in lip prot.estations. On'e Grand JUI'isdiction drew back fr'om the just position it had taken and lined up with those which are determined to see no good thing- .in French Masonry, It is Boileau, is it not, who somewhere says: "Often the fear of one evil leads us into a worse?"

Sectarianism. Thoughtful. observant Craftsmen have noted the tendency on the part of not a few zealous, well intentioned Brothers to Christianize Masonry-more accurately, perhaps, to inject into the "body of Masonry," the ~irus of narrow sectarian doctrines and dogmas. Grand Masters, Correspondents, Special Committees and Grand Orators have each and all taken a hand in this work. As we sense this movement it is one that should be met by the instant, avowed and unwaverin~ opposition of Masons everywhere.

In dealing with Missouri our good brother has kind things to say of the Correspondent, for which he has our thanks. He is, however somewhat fearful as to our attitude to French Masonry, and quoting extensively from the Report of our Committee on the Recognition of Foreign Grand Lodges adopted at our last Annual Communication, he is awaiting with interest the report which will be sublhitted at the present Communication. We can assure Brother Goodwin that he need have no fears. Missouri may need "showing" -sometimes! But she always "gets there!" The Freemasonry of Missouri will strive still to accord to all her brethren, wheresoever dispersed, that recognition which the ancient landmarks require; and she will hail the day when Masons everywhere shall "dwell to-' gether in in unity." That unity which is peculiarly the Mason's heritage.

in restoring the ruin wrought in the last few years. He refers in tender terms to the fraternal dead. He reports various invitations and visitations. He reports no Decisions. He refers to the "Thrift and Salvage" campaign ,and ' says that Major Akinson, a veteran of Overseas Service has been appointed by the Government to visit the Grand Lodge and explain the work. Altogether there seems to have been little out of the ordinary in the experience of this Grand Lodge during the year and the Grand Master is wise in not "'padding" his report. The Grand Secretary reports that the year has been unusual in some respects,' however. We.quote in part: The past year has been one of marked prosperity. One year ago I reported that the year 1917-1918 had surpassed in many respects any previous year-and so it had. But the year 1918-1919 has excelled in all particulars any year of the one hundred and twenty-five that the Grand Lodge of Vermont has been in existence-more initiated, more" raised, and greater revenue received. More, too, has been expended in charity than ever before and the Grand Treasurer's report will show that a handsome sum has been added to the Permanent Charity Fund. This increase in numbers is in part due indirectly to the war. Not so many who were entering the army and navy have sought admission but very many in the service of the United States have gained a higher estimate of the benefits and advantages of Freemasonry as they have seen that it is an organization where real brotherhood exists and the spirit of helpfulness is operative. Civilians also have realized its character as never before and are seeking admission, voluntarily and unsought, in greater numbers. While this is so, it behooves us to scan with greater care the character of each petitioner that peace and harmony in our lodges be not disturbed.

The Committee on Correspondence reported adversely to recognition of the National Grand Lodge of France. DOUBTLESS WISE.

The Committee on Grand Officers' Reports referred to the matter of "Thrift and Salvage" mention'ed by the Grand Master, and go decidedly further in discussing the address of the visitor on that subject: 'As a warning against innovation we call attention to the remarks on Thrift and Salvage made in the opening session of the Grand Lodge. The speaker was not a member of this Grand Lodge nor of any Subordinate Lodge in this Jurisdiction and held no official position that entitled him to speak from the Most Worshipful Grand Master's station ln the East.

FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE.

There is nothing'in the nature of a review in the pap~r published under this head but the correspondent gives a worthy discussion on various matters, most of which are usually included in the Report of the Grand Master. He dwells at length on French Masonry and concludes that all three Grand Lodges are not consistent with _American Masonry. He discusses German speaking lodges in a mild and inconclusive way. He also, perhaps, as a recreation gives us various selections of poetry, mainly with reference -to those slain in the war.

The Proceedings of the Grand Lodge of Virginia for 1919-20, contained in a volume of some six hundred pages, reveals a wealth of detail concerning the work of the Fraternity in the "OldDominion." The volume is introduced by a fine half-tone - picture _of the incoming Grand Master, M. W. Brother Wm. W. Galt, which would indicate that the craft is under the direction of a "skilled workluan." The Proceedings contain a record of an Emergent Communication, held on May 31, 1919, for the purpose of paying the last tribute of respect to Brother John Frederick Mayer, Deputy Grand Secretary, who died at his home in the City of Richmond, Va.,. on May 29, 1919, in the seventy-ninth year of his age.

THE ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY-SECOND ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

of the Grand Lodge of Virginia was held in the Masonic Tâ&#x201A;Źmple in the City of Richmond, Va" beginning on Tuesday', the 10th day of Februray, 1920. The Grand Lodge was opened in ample form, after which Wor. Bro. J. G. Hankins, on behalf of Joppa Lodge No. 40, presented to the Grand Master a hat and cane which was accepted in suitable terms. GRAND MASTER'S ADDRESS.

This is a document of some 15 pages, well arranged in appropriate paragraphs, and containing much that is of general as well as local interest. The Grand Master refers tenderly to the Fraternal Dead. Speaking of the great influx into our ranks the Grand Master says:

While I claim no talent as a seer nor gift as prophet, I think I can see that the times are changing. Economy is gradually, but slowly it may be, supplanting reckless extravagance; self seeking and profiteering are becoming too odious to be openly pursued; and men are trying to grope through the maze of unrealities and firmly grasp the eternal principles of truth-the principles inculcated by our Institution. To this reversion toward the things that are good, beautiful and true I attribute chiefly the great influx into Masonry; the greatest, I am assured, that this Grand Jurisdiction has ever known. DECISIONS.

The Grand Mast says he has carefully considered many questions which have been submitted to him for d~cision, most of theni being answered by citations to the Law. He submits some fifteen, ,however, to the attention of the Grand Lodge, none of which however, seem to us to be unusual. DISPENSATIONS.

The Grand Master granted forty-one Dispensations, seventeen of which were granted to lodges in the City of Norfolk permitting them to make more than five entered apprentices at one c.ommunication. Three Dispensations for the formation of new lodges were granted. EDICT. On the 22nd ,day of Marcb, 1919, a brother from another Grand Jurisdiction, who had recently moved into this State, sent out to

1920. J

Appendix.

l1S

several of our Lodges a letter advising them that he had rec'ently embarked in a new enterprise, soliciting their patronage, and indirectly asking for aid on the ground that he was a Mason. Sevend copies of this letter were forwarded to me by our District Deputies into whose hands they had fallen, and considering it an appeal for aid, I wrote the brother calling attention to that feature of his letter, and advising him that he had violated the laws of this Grand Jurisdiction. I presumed that aft~r such a caution he would apologize for' his unintentional infraction of our laws and desist from further appeals. But, to my amazement, he defiantly contended that he was within his rights and continued to send out the objectionable letter. I, therefore, in order to maintain the dignity of the Grand Lodge of Virginia, and to protect the Lodges under its jurisdiction, issued an Edict under date of April 28, 1919, prohibiting the Lodges in this Jurisdiction from permitting the offending brother from visiting them, and the Masons 9f Virginia from holding Masonic intercourse with him. My action was promptly reported to the Grand Master of the Jurisdiction from which the brother came, and I was afterwards advised that the 'brother had been expelled from his Lodge for this offense. I was, of course, gratified to learn that my course had been approved, though sorry for a brother to incur such a penalty. OI<~FICIAL

VISITS.

The Grand Master, although ill at the time of his election, yet found time after recovery to make many official visits, and like' our present Grand Master, (M. W: Brother Julius C. Garrell), journeyed up and down the Grand Jurisdiction, to the great profit and pleasure of the craft. Full record of these visits is given. MASONIC HOME OF VIRGINIA.

The Grand Master reports this institution as never having been in bAtter condition. He say.s that it is rendering路 a service far beyond the hope or expectation of its most zealous advocates. The Home is now carrying for 86 children of whom the Grand Master says: "They are ours. They shall not want! And "'Virginia always does what she says!" CH ARITY FUND.

Of this the Grand Master says: This is an instance where "we builded better than we knew." The object in creat1ng this fund was to aid the Lodges in caring for dependants, when such burdens became greater than they could beat. Prior to the establishing of this fund Lodges frequently found themselves unable to afford all the relief required of them, and sent out appeals to their sisters Lodges. Frequently such appeals wer'e made when they should not have been, and still more frequently

116

Appendix.

[Sept

Lodges were asked to give in total ignorance of the necessities of the ca!'!e or the amount needed for proper relief. Under the present system each, case is investigated by our careful and conservative committee,and such assistance given as the necessities of the case may demand. MASONIC EDUCATION.

Referring to this the Grand Master sa-ys: The phenominal increase in our numbers during the last year has impressed upon me the necessity of more general instruction in the Ritual, laws and usages of Masonry, as well as in its history, the purpose of its institution, and its mission in training and inciting its members to loftier aims and greater service to humanity. For the general training and instruction of the Craft we must rely to a great extent, upon the officers, of the Lodges and ourDistrict Deputy Grand Masters, but for instruction in the Ritual, and in the unwritten laws and customs of Masonry, we are almost wholly dependent upon our Lecturers. We have six Division Lecturers, one of whom is also the Grand Lecturer. The appropriation .for the Lecturers is $-1;500 per annum, with an additional appropriation of $800 to the Grand Lecturer. IN CONCLUSION

the fr!lud Master says: The returns from the subordinate, Lodges, which are not quite all in, show that we have gained in membership nearly three thousand, making our present strength over thirty-one thousand. We cannot with certainty say-we can only conjecture-what has caused so many to seek the benefits of Masonry. They could judge of Masonry only from the lives of Masons. They knew nothing of our secrets, and but little of the principles inculcated By our Institution, and their spiritual, m'oral and Masonic growth is 路def)endent upon us. We must teach them the principles of Masonry which are so impressively taught by our Ritual, not that they may repeat the Ritual like parrots, but that they may imbibe the great mo'ral principles that Masonry teaches, and practice them in their daily lives. We must teach them that Masonry means love-love of God, love of our Country, love of our fellow man; that Masonry means service ,..--service of God, service of Country, service of humanity; we must teach them that Masonry means charity, not alms-biving alone, but alms-giving with love. Alms-giving may aid the recipient, but charity enriches the giver. Masonry doe3 not advertise, it needs no bureau of publicity, it publishes no propaganda. It is known and judged of bY' our fellow men by the 'lives of its devotees. It functions not as an organization, but exerts its influence on mankind through the indJvidual Mason. Ijet us then endeavor to see that every man who calls himself a Mason, shall live 路and act as such.

The Sixty-second Annual Communication of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Washington convened in the City of SeattIe, on Tuesday, the 10th day of June, A. D. 1919, A.

We thank Thee, Thou who are the God of our Fathers, for those, who discerning Thy h(~ly call to service in the need of the world, gave themselves so freely, "counting not their lives dear unto themselves," but enduring sorrow and suffering, withholding themselves not from death, wrought so nobly on our behalf and in behalf of all the world of suffering men. vVe thank Thee for that which hath come unto us and unto the life of the world, out of.' their sacrifice and their service. and grant that, as their brethren and Thy sons, we may hold, as dear, the sacred inheritance which hath thus been secured for ~us, and that we may carryon that glorious task that Thou dost share with

Unto Thy holy name be the honor and the glory today, tomorrow and evermore. Amen. THE ANNUAL ADDRI<jSS.

Occupies some 30 pages in a careful and intere~ting statements of incid~mts and doings during the year, evidencing an earnest , desire to do his whole duty to the fraternity in the Grand Jurisdiction over which he presides with wise reference to conditions elsewhere in the wide field of Freemasonry. From the opening paragraphs we briefly quote: My Brothers: It is but a few short years since the world was plunged in chaos, into the deadliest struggle that ever darkened the pag-e~ of history, when civilization itself, without warning, was throttled by a treacherous bea:::>t of prey, until then masked in the galb of decency. The foundations of Government were shaken to the deepest stone, and then, if ever in the flight of time, the forces of good and evil matched their strength in a death :::>truggle for s'upremacy. Even one short year ago the scales trembled in the balance, and none might say "the end is near," It was for the young l1]anhood of the chosen of earth to breast the storm, and loyally and well have they carried on. The fight is won; the victory is ours; the enemy scattered to the four winds; and may no more remembrance be had of them, for it wa~ only through God's Providence that they did not strike the fatal blow, So we stand today on the hither side of that great struggle, facing the problems of settling' anew the foundations, of Government, but surrounded by the smouldering embers of that great conflagration, and even as the creeping tongues of flame devour the homes of men, so will the evil forces of anarchy and autocracy consume the watch-towers of liberty should we sheathe the sword and break the camp before victory is made secure. Then, let us consecrate ourselves anew to the sacred task of preserving the rights so nobly won, ever holding close in memory_ . that truth of thuths: "Eternal Vigilance is the price of Liberty." MASONIC HOME.

The Grand Master calls attention to the great worth of this institution to the fraternity, but regrets that there are many cases which cannot be admitted under the law and the present financial

condition. He urges that the dues be increased that these helpless one may be cared for. He grants many Dispens~tions-and refuses others. (We endorse the latter action in every case and 'without asking for the facts!) , He granted Dispensations for the creation of two new lodges. His Decisions were few and unimportant. He exhibited his wisdom in discipline, in suspending from office a Junior and. Senior 'Varden, who had proved themselves untrustworthy, rather than revoke the charter of the lodge in question. He recites the history of the organization of the Masonic Service Association and on his recommendation the Grand Lodge becomes a member thereof. DISTURBING INFLUgNCES.

Under this head he discusses the general want of attention to the proper instruction of y<1Ung Masons and strongly deprecates the failure of Masters in this and the baneful practice of urging young Masons to' at once seek for the so-called higher degrees. In the language of the Ritual-"All this we steadfastly believe." The Report of the Committee on French Masonry, and Masonry in other localities is perhaps the most intelligible and satisfactory we have seen. The facts adduced and arguments thereon are to our mind conclusive in their force. The recommendation was against the recognition of any French Grand Lodge-also that of Panama, but the York Grand Lodge of Mexico is recognized. The Masonic Home seems to be in excellent condition though the cost of maintenance--whether modified or enlarged by the farm attached-one cannot tell, is high. But the work is a worthy one. REPORT ON CORRESPONDgNCE.

This is brief-occupying only 79 pages, but most excellent. Our good Brother McAllaster never fails in this. He accords two pages to Missouri with many quotations and no criticism. He quotes the correspondent in his statement some time since that wbether a farm in connection with a Home "is a real advantage or an added complication, with little benefit, is not clear in this, or, generally, in any such case." He suggests that a real farmer added to the Board might be an advantage, to which we agree.

The Grand Lodge was opened with all the Grand Officers present, except the Grand Sword Bearer, and all but ten of the subordinate lodges were represented. Wor. Brother Morton Gregory tendered a cordial welcome to the officers and members of the Grand Lodge, and his address was fittingly responded to by the Junior .Grand Warden. THE GRAND MASTER

reported a year of "unprecedented prosperity," and that he had constituted Thomas M. Reed Lodge No. 225, at Seattle, and Selah Lodge No. 226, at Selah. He also reported having granted dispensations for the formation of six new lodges, all of which were gran ted charters by the Grand Lodge. DECISIONS.

The Grand Master made the following decisions, all of which were .approved by the Committee on Jurisprudence and by the Grand Lodge: That when a portion of a degree is conferred upon'a candidate, and his physical condition makes it dangerous to proceed with the work, the Lodge should confer the remaining portion at a subsequent communication; That when a candidate has been duly elected to receive the degrees, and dies before his initiation, a Lodge has authority under Section 216 of the Code to return the fee to his family; That the amendment to Section 211 of the" Code, adopted at the last Annual Communication, applies to candidates elected prior to its enactment as. well as to those elected subsequently; and That when a re-ballot is taken under Section 211 of the Code' and the candidate is rejected, one year must expire before another ballot can be taken.

MASONIC SERVICE ASSOCIATION.,

'--

After advising the Grand Lodge that he had attended all the sessions of the meeting for the organization of the Masonic Service Associati~n of the United States, and that he did his utmost to acquire all the knowledge possible' concerning the Association, the Grand Master made an exhaustive report upon the matter and recommended as follows: "Believing that the Masonic Service Association is such an organization as is comprehended in the term "General Grand Lodge;" that membership in it requires a surrender of sovereign rights and powers of our Grand Body; that it has no place in the scheme of' M~sonry; and that it will be a heavy financial burden upon our membership, I do most earnestly recommend that the Grand Secretary be directed to give legal notice of our contemplated withp,rawal, and that after the expiration 'of ninety days from and after the close of this Communication, we withdraw from the Masonic Service Association of the United States, pay our assumed obligations, and send no more representatives to its meetings." The recommendation was unanimously adopted, and the Grand Lodge of Washington withdrawn 'from membe!ship in the Masonic Service Association. FINANCES.'

The total cash in all the Grand Lodge Funds amounted to $14,634.44. The total investments in all Funds are $211,725.00. ,The total cash and investments in all Funds amount to $226,359.44. _GEORGE WASHINGTON MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION.

The Grand Lodge appropriated $2,500.00 for this memorial, instead of adopting a resolution to pay 25 cents per capita for four years. FOREIGN RECOGNITION.

Applications for fraternal recognitio,n from the Grand Lodge â&#x20AC;˘ Valle de Mexico, the Grand Lodge of Columbia, and the Grand Lodge' of Vienna were referred to the incoming Committee on Foreign Correspondence for investigation; FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE.

The Committee recommended that some positive and drastic action be taken by the Grand Lodge to stop the improper and unlawful possession or nse of a cipher or key. The Committee also recommended that the size of lodges be limited. And that the dignity, solemnity and importance of the

These recom~endations were referred toa Special Com'mittee. The idea of the last. proposition was approved and referred to the Committee on Jurisprudence to draft legislation to carry the same into effect, which will submit its report at the next Annual Communication, ORATION,

Both the Grand and Deputy Grand Masters appear in "counterfeit presentment," on the initial pages-the first tall and striking in appearance, which is intensified by the handsome regalia, and the latter who is distinguished as "captain" is "true to form"-a splendid representation of a veteran soldier. That he was elected Deputy Grand Master was eminently proper. Quarterly Communications were held on July 25, 1918; October 24, 1918; January 23, '1919, and the ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

in Freemason's Hall, City of Perth, April 24, 1919. The quarterly communications held in the evening were brief-one occupying only 40 minutes and another only 45. Of course both convened merely for reports and data. The Grand Master, however, gives a brief address, referring to the war and its aftermath, and also

refers to the divided and unhappy condition of the Craft in Queensland, which he hopes will soon be remedied, as the Grand Lodges of England and Scotland have joined in a recommendation for 'the creation of a third Grand Lodge with which the other two, it is hoped, will be willing to ui1it~. In his address at the Grand Communication, the Grand Master included the following: MEMBERSHIP; V/hen the G~and Lodge was formed the lodges comprising it had. a total membership of 2,000; tha.t membership has now increased to 4,488, being the highest figures on record, and show a gain, for the year', of 211, which is the highest gain that has taken place since 1903. There have been 350 candidates initiated during the year, a larger number than any year since 1904. No less than 60 lodges show an increase in membership, while only 18 show decreases. The lodges showing the greatest advance in point of number are the Lodge of Emulation, with twelve,Abercorn, Narrog'in, and Star of the West with eleven each. The Gearldton Lodge, with a membership of 99, again takes pride of place on the regis~er.

Also the following: REFUND OF FgDERAL TAXATION. The board has pleasure in reporting that, owing to a recent decision of the Federal High Court, it has been held that Masonic bodies are not liable to pay taxation on their incomes; therefore all the Federal taxation paid by Grand Lodge, amounting to £109 13s. 4d., has been refunded by the Federal Taxation Department. Of the amount received £46 Is. l1d. goes to the general fund, and £63 11 s. 5d. goes to the hall account. .'

Brethren of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of West Virginia: It is with genuine pleasure that I welcome you to Charleston to this, the 55th Annual Communication of the Grand I,odge. The closing year has been the most successful in our history in our growth in membership. Our membership on Oct. 1, 1918, was 21,660; on Oct. 1, 1919, 22,880, a gain of 1,220. We have 151 lodges ranging in membership from 23 to 709. The reports of'the District Deputy Grand Masters show that the finances of these lodges are in good condition -that the records are neatly and accurately kept-that the large attendance on the lodge meetings indicates a commendable interestthat the officers of the subordinate lodges are prepared to confer the degrees and deliver the lectures-that peace and good will prevail among the brethren-and that in material affairs our order is unusually prosperous; but these are only outward and visible signs and may not indicate a spiritual grace within. Masonry is not a reformatory institution, it is not int.ended to mal{e ove!' the immo!'al, the criminal, the vicious. In presenting the names of applicants, therefore, care should be taken to see that they already possess these qualifications, physical, mental and moral that will insure t.heir making good Masons. To purge is more difficult than to prevent. "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."

DISPENSATIONS AND VISITATIONS.

The Grand Master recites with conscientious attention to details many Dispensations for many purposes granted-and many refused. His invitation to the Peace Jubilee of the Grand Lodge of England and v,isit to' the ·Mother Grand' Lodge is so interesting that we give the details: Brother Collins and I accepted this invitation. We sailed from New York June 14th and arrived at Southampton about 4 P. M. on ,Tune 20th and reached London at 11 P. M. During our stay in London, from June 23rd to .Tune 30th, the Grand Lodge of England entertained us with most generous hospitality. The following was our program: June 23, 8 P. M.

Davis, American Ambassador, was raised to the honorary rank of Past Grand Warden. This was a compliment not only to Brother Davis, a Mason, but to the Masonic Lodges of the United States. In recognition of this action of the Grand Lodge of England in thus honoring a West Virgina Mason, I recommend that the Committee on Jurisprudence prepare a suitable resolution of appreciation of the action of the Grand Lodge of England; that this resolution be engrossed and attested by the Grand Master and the Grand Sec,retary and sent to P.

SEVENTY -FIFTH ANNUAL COMMUNICATION.

Held in Scottish Rite Cathedral, Milwaukee, June 10路12, 1919. Opening ceremonies as usual with prayer by the Grand Chaplain. From the many fine paragraphs of the ANNUAL ADDRESS

we select the following: says:

Referring to the war, the Grand Master

Democracy has triumphed; humanity breathes a purer atmosphere, and civilization "enters upon a new era. Again we hear the 'hum of industries in peaceful pursuits; gladness reigns in the homes of our citizens, while "Old Glory" waves more proudly than ever over the gl-eatesf country on the face of the earth. With grateful hearts we reverently bow our heads to Almighty God for the return of peace to the world, 'and for the Sl)irit of American manhood which so unselfiHhly espoused the cause of liberty, justice and humanity. No loftier patriotism can be conceived than that which has been displayed by the American soldier in fighting for the principles and ideals which prompted this country to participate in the bloodiest war of all history. * * *

Speaking of the silent dead, he says: The word death is a misnomer, for nothing, not even matter, can be destroyed. The notion of annihilation is a philosophical absurdity, for that which exists must continually eternally exist. Life is an entity and not a condition; it is an actuality too refined to be cognizable to the senses. We cannot perceive or conceive the tangibility of principles and ideas, yet these invisibly exist and manifest themselves in the. world of objectivity. They are the souz:ces of creation and of man's ingenuity. The body is not that which constitutes man, it is but a form in which the diVine essence has clothed itself for earthly experiences. Man's belief in immortality is an inherent part of his consciousness and rests upon as sure a foundation as the existence of God. These two self-evident truths will always be the Mason's comfort

when he closes his eyes in mortal slumber. Let us rejoice then, my brethren, and not mourn for those who have been recorded on our rolls as dead, for "Immortality o'ersweeps All pains, all tears, all time, all fears, and peals Like the eternal thunderS'of the deep Into my ears th'is truth-Thou Iiv'st forever." •• • * *

The Grand Master scolds a little in a mild way, in sympathy with many who, no doubt, agree with him, because the government did not permit the fraternity to enter upon war activities in aid of the great cause as they desired to do. DECISIONS.

Among these the Grand Master decides that Worshipful Masters lleed not pay attention to an objection to the initiation or advancement of a candidate, when the objection comes over the telephone. (All right.) . Two new lodges were created by Dispensation during the year. Among other noble contributions our Wisconsin brethren exhibited the real spirit of Freemasonry, in raising nearly $14,000for the. sufferers in the great forest fires that devastated so large a district of Minnesota last year. . UNUSUAI.. AND OBJECTION ABIJE.·

The Grand Master refers with disapproval of special meetings of lodges in unusual number. He cites one case where a lodge held three (3) specials in one day and initiated twelve candidates. (We repeat here what we have often said with regret: "We are opening the doors of Freemasonry far too widely and freely.") The following question and answer will be read with interest, we think: "W'here a ,Lodge has fitted up the lower floor of its Masonic • Temple as club rooms, with pool and billiard and card tables, is it permissable to allow games to be played on Sunday afternoon?" I replied to this inquiry by stating that I could not find anything in our Constitution, Laws and Edicts directly bearing upon this subject, and added as follows: "It does not seem to be within the power of the Grand Master to determine the question raised, but I have no hesitancy in giving you my unofficial opinion on the subject and such as I would rule were I authorized to decide the point. "Page 60 of our Masonic Law and Edicts has the following prohibitive law: 'No communication except for conducting a Masonic funeral shall be held on Sunday.'

1920. ]

Appel'/'dix.

129

"Our Grand Lodge, therefore, has taken the position that Sunday is a Masonic sacred day. It has also declared that 'The duty devolves upon every Mason â&#x20AC;˘ to preserve the reputation of the fraternity u}lsullied. If the conduct of an individual member tends to brmg Masonry into disrepute or to i'njure the institution, such conduct is unmasonic and should not be allowed 1,.0 remain unnoticed.' "I regard as contrary to Masonic tenets and teachings any practice by MaRons in a building dedicated to Masonic purposes which would result in desecrating the Sabbath-a day upon which a lodge cannot even exemplify our beautiful degrees-and I should personally condemn as derogatory to Masonry the prectice of permitting games of any kind on a Sunday in club rooms owned by a lodge, or that are in any way conected or associated with lodgeÂˇ activities."

Good-altogether good! The Grand Lodge of Wisconsin imposes a penalty for non-attendance but as the mileage and per diem does not in some ingtances, pay the expenses of the delegates, the Grand Master suggests that expenses should be paid. The Masonic Home is reported in good condition with assets of some $150,000.00. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE.

This report from our good Bro. Aldro Jenks', like all that have gone before, is a painstaking and carefully prepared exhibit of the salient points of all the Proceedings that have come before him. His selection are excellent and his com.ments are always wise. To Missouri he accords three and a half pages with words of eompliment to the Correspondent. He notes, however, that our Report was "adopted" by the Grand Lodge to' which he wisely objects, that the very wisest Correspondent may say something that the Grand Lodge could not consistently endorse.

FORTY-FOURTH ANNUAL COMMUNICATION.

The Forty-fourth Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of Ancient rree and Accepted Masons of Wyoming, was opened in the Lodge Hall of the Masonic Temple, Laramie, Wyoming, Wednesday morning, September 11th, 1918, at 9 o'clock a . .In. Ceremonies as usual, including R~ception of the Flag. A worthy address _of welcome was delivered by Bro. Carl W. Thomas, Master of Laramte Lodge No.3, which met with a worthy response from Bro. Sumner Miller. THE ANNUAL ADDRESS.

After a graceful bow to the Grand Lodge in his introduction, the Grand Master reports the past as the banner year ~n the history of Wyoming Masonry, some 400 having been added to the membership. Also, he states that the financial exhibit for' war activities and relief has been most worthy.

NECROLOGY.

The Grand Master in his reference to this subject includes, first of all, the names of all deceased members in that Jurisdiction and afterwards the distinguished dead of other Grand Lodges. The usual, or rather unusual, number of Dispensations, owing to the exigencies of the war ale reported in detail. Among the more ordinary Dispensations we note one allowing a lodge to attend Divine Service in a body on St. John's Day! With us and with Grand Lodges generally, St. John's Day is regarded as a Masonic occasion, and any lodge is free to hold public ceremonies. We deprecate the attendance of a lodge as such, on Divine Service -except on a funeral occasion. But wiser brethren differ with us -and they may be right! Also two other lodges received dispensations-one to take part in Decoration Day Services and the other to take part in a Liberty Loan demonstration. All right for our Wyoming brethren, but our Grand Lodge hiws and usage would not grant dispensations for either of the three purposes mentioned -though all are worthy. The Decisions of the Grand Master contains nothing striking or unusual. The Grand Master alludes to the project of adopting some general emblem for all Masons which he approves and says is heing considered by some Grand Lodges. The idea does not commend itself to us but then-we are so often wrong!

REPORT ON CORRESPONDENCE.

Our good Brother Lowndes, excerpts occasionally and wisely 'but more often uses his vigorous pen in the expression of opinions eminently satisfactory to the Masonic student. We regret that our limitations forbid extensive quotations. He accords to Missouri two out of the 123 rages covered by the report. N. B. 'If this copy of Proceedings contains an index it is so carefully hidden we cannot find it.

The Grand Lodge of Wyoming was organized De.cember 15, 1874, by four lodges--three chartered by the Grand Lodge of Colorado and one by the Grand Lodge of Nebraska, and considering the population, the growth has been most satisfactory. Three Special Communications were held during the yeartwo for the purpose of laying cornerstones and one for funeral services. THE FORTY-F'IFTH ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

was held in the Masonic Temple at Casper, Wyoming, beginning its labors October 8th, at 9 A. M., and closing October 9th. The opening ceremonies ,',,-ere accented by the address of welcome ~and the response, which are now so general as to be considered almost as a "matter of course." THE ANNUAL ADDRESS:

With a few words of introduction, the Grand .Master plunges at once "in medias res" and throughout the entire 25 pages indulges in neither sentiment or Masonic gossip. It is in fact a worthy business document.

Appendi%.

[Sept.

He discusses the causes leading to the creation of the Wa~ Relief Association, wbich legitimately presaged the formation of The Masonic Service Association of the United States. On account of the Grand, Triennial in Philadelphia meeting on the exact date appointed for the meeting of the Grand Lodge, the Grand Master was urged to defer the Annual Communication. He did not feel authorized to' do this-but advised the members and delegates to Grand Lodge not to appear at the stated time, and none' being present except the Grand Master, he adjourned the' Communication to the date heretofore noted. We suppose no objection was offered, at least no criticism appears in the recordbut-ob, well, never mind! The request for the change came from the Grand Comm"\nder and the Grand Master observes that the consensus of opinion was that the request should be favorably considered. The Grand Master refers to the fact that cipher rituals are ~ping used in some lodges as reported and advises that the practice should be stopped. There is no Masonic Home in Wyoming, but a fund is being raised for that purpose and from it appropriations are made annually to needy cases of brethren, widows or orphans. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE.

Introducing this, Bro. Lowndes gives a valuable table of the Grand l"odges of the world, specifying those recognized by the several Grand Lodges of the United States. We would publish 'but for the fear that its complexity is such that it might be an occasion for profanity on the part of printer and proof-reader! The poem-"Alleged"-"Sweet Masonry"-from The Builder we do not admire. It sounds mushy, and, and other things! But we do endorse the poem which closes the excellent report of Bro. Lowndes, and we endorse the entire report as being all right. Missouri and the correspondent are kindly treated.

The high cost of maintenance has not been reduced in. the past year. On the contrary many of the necessities that are required in keeping up the high standard of the Home has advanced so that it has taken all of our income to defray the absolute expenses required. The members of our Home Family are yearly increasing which requires a greater expense taken together with gradual increase of supplies brings us to the point where this Grand Lodge s]1ould take some action towards a greater income to sustain the work that is being accomplished in maintaining a Home for the aged' Brethren, wives, widows and orphans of our deceased Brethren. The Directors are giving the closest attention. to all expenses and guarding the trust placed in their hands with zealous care, so that all expenditures produce the best reo sults for the benefit of the Masonic Home.

REPORT OF FINANCE 路COMMITTEE St. Louis, Aug. 31, 1920. To the Board of Directors' of the Masonic Home:

The Finance Committee, through its Chairman, begs leave to make the following report: W.路 Bros.路 Sol. E. Waggoner, President of the Home and one of the Trustees of the Endowment Fund; Virginius O. Saunders, Secretary of the Home Board; -James R. McLachlan, Byrne E. Bigger, H. Clay Perkins, and myself, as Chairman of the Finance Committee, on Monday, August the 31st, 1920, met by appointment at the safety vaults of the Mississippi Valley Trust Company of St. Louis to examine the securities of the Endowment :B"'und. T~ papers contained in the box were examined: There were found to be twenty-eight loans ranging from $1,000, the lowest, to $15,000, the highest. These loans are all evidenced by notes secured by first deeds of trust on approved real estate, accompanied by either abstracts or guarantees of title, shown in each instance to be in the borrower. The principal of the loans aggregate $134,475. The interest due on all loans has been paid. In addition to the loans, $39,900 is invested in U. S. Liberty Bonds, all of which bear 4tA, %, and $1,000 in a Home Telephone Bond bearing 5%. In addition to the above are the Rice securities amounting to $13,147. .-=- There was found' to be a cash balance due the Fund of $3,920.11 in the First National Bank in St. Louis. This makes a total amount in the Endowment Fund of $192,442.11, an increase over 1919 of $6,005.86. The total interest received from the Fund was $11,172.86. It will thus be seen that the investments have been carefully made, that the management of the Fund is satisfactory, and we again congratulate the Freemasons on its splendid condition. Fraternally submitted, D. M. WILSON,

Chairman of Finance Committee.

REPORT OF EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. . Kansas City, Mo., August 21, 1920. Mr. Sol. E. Waggoner, President of the Masonic Home Board, St. Louis, Mo. My dear Brother Waggoner: As chairman of the executive committee of the Home Board, I respectfully submit the following in connection with the actions of such committee during the last Masonic year. Some unusually interesting and important questions have been presented to the committee, all of which have been given the most serious consideration. The desire being to administer the affairs of the Home to the best interests of all concerned, ever keeping iIi view the sacredness and importance of the work and trying to reach conclusions which would best serve the interests of the Home and Fraternities. The controlling desire being, as near as it is }:ossible for a man to do exact justice in aU cases. It is not considered necessary to go into detail in regard to the matters presented to the committee as you have been present at each meeting and are familiar with the transactions and will embody all the essential details in your report to the Grand Lodge, we deem it unnecessary to' repeat them here. We cannot, however, refrain from路 stating that the necessity and adva.ntages of the hospital, in contributing to the comfort and safety of the older members of the Home family, are more apparent路 each year. While it is by far the most expensive department, yet it is the most important one, so far as the old people are concerned. A safe refuge for the sick and a resting place for those who are weary from life's long journey. This portion of our facilities for the care of unfortunate humanity, has just recently been rendered mor~ attractive and inviting by having the interior walls and woodwork painted and redecorated at .an approximate expense of $3,000. The funds for this work were supr,lied by the members of the O. E. S. and expended under the direction of the advisory merp.bers of the Board, Mrs. Ethel C. Stansbury and Mrs. Ella J. Flanders. To them is due the sincer~~ gratitude, not only of the members of the Home Board and family but the entire membership of the state. Frat~rnally

yours,

R. R. KREEGER,

Chairman.

ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE REPORT' August 31, 1920. To the Board of Directors of the Masonic Home:

•

In our judgment the present management of the Home ,is satisfactory. It receives, we think, the approval it justly deserves. We ;know of no reason why there should be a ch'ange, and therefore we recommend that it be continued as it is. JOHN T. SHORT, Chairman. R. R. KREEGER, D. M. WILSON.

REPORT OF HOUSE· COMMITTEE. St: Louis, Mo., Sept. 1st, 192D. Sol E.Waggoner, Esq., President of the Masonic Hom.e of Missouri, St. Louis, J1.f1:ssouri . SIR· AND BROTHER: The House Committee submits the following as its report for the year ending September 1st, 1920: W'e have again experienced a. third year of the ndw plan of administering the affairs of' the Masonic Home, by thfe President discharging the duties of Superintendent, with the aid and assis'tance of the Matron of the young people, and the Matron of the old 'p~16ple. By ~reason of the satfsfactory manner in which the affaJrs of the Home have been administered under this plan for the'last three years, it has been demonstrated that the Board of Directors made no mi~take in adopting this plan. It has relieved, in a great measure, the duties of the House Committee. The House Committee has held its usual monthly meetings, and on only a few occasions was there any necessity for holding extra meetings. In this way, the· House Committee has kept in touch, in a measure, with the affair's of the Home. The personnel of the House Committee has been the same as last year, which Included Mrs. Ethel C. Stansbury, who has at all times rendered invaluable assistance to the House Committee in the discharge' of its duties. We can in this report, but repeat what we ,have said in our previous reports, of her untiring efforts in behalf of the members of our Home Family.

The St. Louis Christmas Committee has continued to do its good work during the last year. Again we must extend the thanks of this Committee and the Board, to the Christmas Committee and the various Masonic and Eastern Star bodies and individuals throughout the state, who have' added so much to the pleasure and comfort of the members of the Home Family during _the la~t year.

HOSPITAL REPORT. St. Louis, August 23, 1920. Mr. Sol. E. Waggoner, President, Masonic Home of Missouri. Dear Sir and Brother: Pursuant to custom and instructions, I .herewith submit for your inspection and information the number of cases attended to by .this department of the Masonic Home. Comparatively the sick list of our old folks has not been so heavy as the year previous, but with the children it has somewhat increased owing to prevalence throughout the Home of mumps, measles, pneumonia, etc., which, for a time kept Miss Hazard, our faithful Head Nurse and her corps of assistants, more than busy for quite a spell, together with the fact that additional help could not be' obtained, especially with the male employes: " This, of course, increased the burden of our nurses. I am pleased to report that there has been no fatality among the children, although many have been very sick causing our anxiety to be taxed to the high~st pitch. Our faithful Matron of the Old People; Mrs. -N. E. 'Collins, gave material assistance with her usual good cheer, both among the old folks and among the children confined to their beds of sickness. Our Staff of Consulting Physicians has been very kind and responsive when called upon for counsel and advice whenever the occasion was' necessary and, their suggestions and recommendations as to the management, etc., for the comfort of the afflicted ones have been faithfully carried out. Being in touch, as you are with every_ minute detail, I wish to thank you for. your good judgment and kindly action on all

REPORT OF ATTORNEYS. St. Louis, Mo., Sept. 1st, 1920.'

Sol E. Waggoner, Esq., President of the Masonic Home of Missouri, St. Louis, Missouri. DEAR SIR AND BROTHER:

As Attorneys .for the Masonic Home of Missouri, we submit out report for the year ending September 1st, 1920: During the last year, a few small cases in which the Home' was interested have been settled and disposed of advantageously and to the best interest of the Home. We are pleased to report 'that at the present itme, there are no suits pending ~n which the Masonic Home is a party, or directly interested. . As stated in our report to you of a year ago, the JacobW. Rice will case was disposed of and settled. We also reported to you at that time, the final disposition of the Fulton will case. The fund realized by the Fulton will, of $35,000.00, is still held by the Trustees under that will and cannot be paid over to the Home until the death of Mrs. Lizzie Welch,- the daughter of Mrs. Eliza Fulton. The amount adjudicated to the Hom; in the J. Loga~ Busby will case stands in a similar condition. The real' estate left by Andrew Peter Christianson, in which the Masonic

It is as follows, to-wit: "Know all men by these presents that I, . of sound and disposing mind, do make, publish and declare this as and for my last will and testament, hereby revoking any and all wills and testaments by me heretofore made. First: It is my will and desire, and I hereby direct that all my just debts, including the expenses of my last illness and funeral be paid in full. Second: I give and beqUeath unto the Masonic Home 'of Missouri, a Gorporation organized and existing under and in pursuance of the laws of the State of Missouri, the sum of . Dollars.

REPORT OF ADVISORY CO;MMITTEE. To the Pres,ident and Board of Directors of the Masonic Home of Missouri. BRETHREN:

So 'swiftly do the days merge into weeks, and: the weeks' into 'months, that it is hard to realize that it is again time to review ': our work for the year. Many of our aims have fallen short of fulfillment, yet the year has been a busy one and one of COnsiderable results, perhallS' the 'most important of which is the painting of the entire Hospital-walls,: ceiling and floors. The shining beauty of this building enters it into the ranks' of the best hospitals in our city. ", 'Bronzed metal caps have been placed' on all the radiMors, two of the sun parlors have been refurnished, many yards of rubber runners have been renewed in all the building, numerous carpets have been renovated and many replaced with new ones, two '; of the nurseries have been covered with linoleum and about forty mirrors resilve:ed. Our list of disbursement also contains many items of furniture, linens, china, hospital equ'ipment, etc.,' at a cost e){ceeairig' '$8,000.00. The ever increasing interest of the members of the Order of 'the Eastern Star in this work is manifest in the appreciable increase in the donations from the Chapters through this Board "and our gratitude is due them not only for the generous money 'gifts but, also for the many kindnesses shown the Home Family and tp.e hearty good, wishes expressed to the Secretary. . Sister Flanders, President of the Advisory Board" has attended all 'the Board Meetings of the year, remaining in the city tq assist with the buying for our Board. Sister Flanders is invaluable to this work on account, of her experience and willingness to help. Sister Moore is still confined to her home but is comfortable and her condition is improving. Mrs. Collins, Matron of the Old People, Mrs. Engel, while Matron of the Children and Mrs. Waller, Acting Matron, have ",shown us ev.ery courtesy and have been unfailing in, their efforts' " ,to, help the, Adv'isory. Board c;:trry, out. their plans. , To the Board of Directors: we tender our, sincere gratitude for kindnesses too numerous to mention and for their oft expressed appreciation of our humble efforts and, we pledge anew our loyalty to this great cause. Sincerely and fraternally, , ETHEL C. STANSBURY, Secy. ELLA JEAN FLANDERS, Pres. LOUISA J. MOORE, V.-Pres. Advisory Board.

LETTER TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FROM THE ACTING MATRON OF THE CHILDREN. At the clOse 'of your official ,year I shall try as Acting Matron of the' Children to give you a few facts concerning' the Home Family. I have been with the Family seven months and very happy months they have been. Fortunately for me the first part of my work in the Hoine was with the large gi~ls, then the large boys. When I began to try .t<? ~ll the 路Matron's place I was not a stranger , to the children. Time has brought its changes.' Some familiar faces 'have gone while new ones have been added until we now number one hun-' dred tbirteen, ranging in age from two to seventeen. We aTe glad to state that the girls who were given a business education are holding good positions and are steadily climbing and we predict the top for them some day. The records for the, past year will show many. seVere cases of measles, influenza and pneumonia, .but thanks to Dr. A .. C. Robinson, the Home Physician, Medical Staff and our faithful nurses, all recovered their usual good health. Thirty~five of our children have enjoyed. a . summer's. vacation out of town with their mothers or other relatives and are home ready for a good year's work in school. Those' who remained' at . home for su~mer school made their grades for adva.ncement and enjoyed the ma~y pleasant outings of th'e season. '," .. . Our va'cation has been one continuous round of entertainments. PIcnics, dinners, auto rides, circus, oper~s, etc., fr~m lodges' and .~,~J individuals. The Christmas Committee always thinks or' iIs路 at the right time. When \~e b~gin to wish for .a change 'they are sure' to remember us with a show, boat excursion, ice cream, candy or watermelon feast. They have also furnished the Home with , basket ball court and balls, base balls 'and bats, croquet. set and slide for the little folks. The ladies of' the' chapters of the Eastern"Star hav~ be'en very gen~rous with their donations of rugs, quilts, ;'dresser' scarfs and other usfeul things while lodges and individual :me~'bersremembered us' with th'e good things to e a t . " . Through the untiring efforts of Mrs. Stansbury,' Secretaty and' Treasurer of the Advisory Board, and the ladies of the Order 'of: the Eastern Star, our rugs and draperies have either been: c'ieaned or replaced by new ones. We now have the 路,appearance ofa newly-furnished home.

The Grand Officers of the Order of Eastern Star favored us with their presence at dinner. We enjoyed short, interesting talks from Grand Worthy Matron, Mrs. Walker, and Grand Worthy Patron, Mr. Elliott. To the Board of Directors I wish to express my deepest grati路 tude for the confidence placed in me, and, to the best of my ability, I have been faithful to your trust. Fraternally, WILMOTH WALLER.

LETTER TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FROM THE MATRON OF THE. OLD PEOPLE. Fleeting time brings us again to the point where we look back upon another year of our work. Changes have been wrought路 in the Family during this lapse of time; about thirty of our old' people have passed to the Great Beyond, who, for the most part, are those who had been in the Home from six to nineteen years and, during their stay in the Home were faithful and loyal to it. At the present time we have about our usual number because of the fact that new ones arrive and fill the vacancy caused by the hand of the Grim Reaper. Some of the new members seek work that ,they may employ their time and mind which invariably reo sult in satisfaction of mind. We have one hundred and eigthy' to look after and feel each one who is able should perform some light duty because there is so much to be done and we find that thQse who use their mind and hands do not become' unhappy or faultfinding. A number of the old folks have returned from a vacation, settled down to regular habits and appear to be glad they are home again. We cannot refrain from speaking of the splendid condition of the Infirmary. The Advisory Board of the O. E. S., with Sister Ethel Stansbury's' careful watch, has painted it throughout and placed n~w furniture in four sun parlors so that now it is a haven of rest for the sick and infirm. We take pleasure in assuring you that all have had plenty to eat and to wear yet find some it is impossible to satisfy or please. The Christmas Committee, the Past Matrons and Patrons, the 57 Matrons' and Patrons' Club of St. Louis County, have remembere~

us regularly with outings and with treats. Also, early in the year a new 1918 Club came to us to be numbered among those interested in the welfare of the Home Family and have given them a number of pleasures. The Magnolia Chapter has been untiring in its efforts and as a result the old folks have enjoyed an auto ride once a month. Those in the Infirmary who were able to enjoy a ride were taken out and but for the thoughtfulness of the Chapter they would have been shut in all summer. In behalf of the Home we wish to thank one and all who have contributed to the pleasure of the old people. The donations from all over the state have been many, too numerous路 to mention, but we cannot refrain from speaking of the pleasure the donation of aprons gave the ladies, also the beautiful rag rugs for the Infirmary, both of which are giving great pleasure and comfort. June the 19th found all who were able to attempt an outing, waiting for the summer car provided by Ferguson Lodge No. 542, to take us to the beautiful lawn of Brother and Sister Tiffin, prepared by Hope Chapter No. 265, for our yearly outing. We still feel that there is nothing that surpasses it. The day proved ideal as well as the sumptuous dinner which had been prepared and the pleasures were further enhan~ed by an interesting program for the afternoon's entertainment. We wish to thank the House Committee and the' Board of Directors who have accorded me their hearty co~operation in my work. The year is closed, the record made, the last deed done, the last word said. Memory alone remains of all its griefs, its joys, its gains; and now with purpose full and clear, we turn to greet another year. Fraternally, NONA E. COLLINS, Matron.
