I herewith pre8ent you my Annual Review of the Proceedings of the several Grand Lodges of our own and other lands, every volu:me of which has met with r~spectful consideration. While conscious that the work is far from fllJultless, I trust you will rET ceive it with the same kindly tolerance you have exhibited in the past. I have endeavored to present every item Of special interest which I have noted, and while not always able to approve of what was said or done, yet my comments have been few, and in no case intended as a criticisOl. I have given many selections from addresses and reports, all of which seem to me worthy of note, and calculated to interest any who desire to be informed as to the principles and progress of Free Masonry throughout the world. In the preparation, and especially in the publication of this report, I have received valuable assistance from our Grand Chaplain, Rev. Arthur Mather," D. D., to whom I tender thanks.. C. C. WOODS.

ALABAMA 1920 1921 Per~y B. Dixon, G. M. Julian F. Spearman, G. M. George A. Beauchamp, G. S.. Re-elected. Oliver Day Street, Committee on Correspondence.路 Lodges, 565 Members, 42,692 Gain, 5,475. The proceedings of the Grand Lodge of Alabama for the year 1920 come to us in the shape of a well arranged vol'ume, initiated by a handsome picture of Percy B. Dixon, Grand Master, which in form and feature easily prophesies the exalted ~haracter which i~ given him in the brief history that follows. Generally speaking, our Grand Masters are men of striking appearance, and this usually to be noted in those whose merit entitles them to such exalted distinction. ANNUAL SESSION. The Grand Lodge held its One Hundredth Annual Communication in the Masonic Temple in the City of Montgomery, beginning its labors December First, at 9, A. M. The opening ceremonies were as usual, in Ample Form, with prayer by the Grand Chaplain, three hundred and ninety-e1ght -.Lodges being ;present by their representatives, besides a number of past Grand Officers and permanent members. It appearing that the Grand Representative of the Grand Lodge of Texas had not been present for three successive years, his commission was revoked. THE ANNUAL ADDRESS. The Grand Master prefaces the business part of his report by several beautiful sentiments, which we would be glad to quote in full, but for our limi4t,tions in space. We give the following: Brethren: 路At this the one hundredth communication of our Grand r,odi!;e, I assure you that It Is with profound pleasure I meet and greet you. That I am deeply ~rateful for the honor you have bestowed upon me in making it possible for me to preside over this the 'Centennial meeting of so ancient and honorable a fraternity, inadequately expressM my true feelings. The broad foundation upon which is erected the superstructure of Freemasonry is the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man. These two doetrin'cs, or more properly, two in one, sum up for the Mason his whole creed, subdivide it or enlarge upon it as we may. The belief which a Freema.o;on holds as tQ the Great Architect of the Universe shapes and molds his life among men. The one follows the other ~ inevitably

and surely as the night the day, because the second is the corollary of the first, since it is not only dependent upon but is the resultant of the first. Hence it follows that every :Mason who possesses a clear idea of God (and this is the very foundation of :Masonic teaching) has as a necessary result a true concept of his dutY' and relation to his fellowman. To this latter concept we -wish to invite your attention briefly today. The Freemason should find in every Lodge a home, and in every Mason a true brother. A man to have friends must himself be friendly. It is equally true that a J,odge to attract and hold the interest of its members must cultivate and demonstrate the existence of true fellowship and a fraternal spirit within its portals, or else it will become cold and lifeless, becau~e a Lodge can only send back w its members exactly what the members give to It. The Lodge may be likened to a mirror which reflects whatever may be placed in front of It. It the mirror be ~ithout flaw or blemish it will reflect back a true and perfect image, but if It be defective it will reflect a distorted or ridiculous flgure, no matter how beautiful and sYmmetric the object before it.

The Grand Master decided that a waiver of jurisdiction, when , granted to a member, may be presented to, and received by any lodge, expeeting to receive su~h member. NEW LODGES. The Grand Master granted dispensations for the creation or ten new lodges, which would seem to indicate a prosperous condition for the fraternity in that jurisdiction. However, we are more and more satisfied that the addition of ~embers does not always mean 'prosperity, in the sense in which that term should be held by our Fraternity. We trust, however, that our brethren of Alabama have used the ballot wisely, and that the result may be all that they desire. Masonry, however, was never intended as a popular institution, but carefully selective in its outreaching after members. CORNER S.TONES. Five corner stones were laid during the year, all for educational, religious, eleemosynary, or Masonic purpos~s. MAIMED CANDIDATES. The Grand Master reports having recefved many petitions for permission to confer the degrees upon maimed candidates, many, presumably, unable to comply with the requirements of our ritual in the fullest sense. All these he granted after assurance that the lodges in question had voted unanimously in favor of thecandidate. The Grand Master adds that the Grand Lodge should legislate carefully upon this subject, and prescribe rules regulating. this. matter. In this we fully agree/ for if left to the individual lodge,

we are sure that there are many cases in which a man in almost a condition of physical disabality could be elected, even if it were certain that he would become a .subject for charity in the near future. RECOMMENDATIONS. Among the recommendations of the Grand Master we find the following: CORNER-S'fONES. I recommend that thtl Jurisprudence Committee be instructed to prepare and report for adoption at this Communication of the Grand Lodge a resolution prescribing the minimum dimensions for a corner-stone to be la.id by this Grand Lodge, the inscription which same shall 'bear and the point in the course of the erection of a building beyond which 'it shall 110t have passed in order that the corner-stone be laid by this Grand Lodge. I further recommend that every Lodge making request to have a cornerstone laid shall file with their request a certificate signed by the Master and Secretary of the Lodge showing the character of the building, giving the dimensions of the stone to be laid, the inscription it shall bear and also stating how far the building will have progressed when it is proposed to lay the stone.

We concur with the Grand Master in this suggestion, and ~hink it would be wise if every Grand Jurisdiction would so legislate. , MASONIC HOME. The Grand Master calls attention to the increasing demands of the Masonic Home, and that it had been necessary during the year to issue bonds to the amount of $55,000.00 for the erection of a new dormitory building. Incidentally, we may remark here .that the home is reported in good condition in every respect, and that the per capita cost was about $300.00. THE MASONIC S.ERVICE ASSOCIATION. The Grand Master recommends withdrawal from the Masonic Service Association, in view of the present. financial condition of the Grand Lodge, and his recommendation was adopted. GEORGE WASHINGTON MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION. On recommendation of the Grand Master, the sum of $1000.00 was voted for the George Washington Memorial Association, to be paid in five eq,uaI, annual installments. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE. This report from the worthy pen of Brother Oliver D. Street covers more than 200 pages, and yet is not too long, considering its excellence. He is alwaYs kind and considerate, though, being human, he ffometimes makes mistakes, which he did, in our case, at

least, in ascribing to :us a predisposition in f.avor of a Supreme Grand Lodge. We must have written very awkwardly to make such impression upon his mind, as nothing is further from the truth. Like' him, we think the Masonic Service Association is altogether sufficient for any emergency that is likely to arise, and we have always op,posed the idea of a Supreme' Grand I..Jodge. He suggests that we are sparing in our comments and criticisms, which we accept as rather complimentary. only salient po~nts, and always without criticism. He gives a kindly report of Missouri in several pages; 'touching

THE ANNUAL SESSION. The seventy-ninth Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of Arkansas was held in the Lecture Hall of the Second Baptist Church, in the city of Little Rock, beginning its labor at 10' o'clock A. M. The Grand Lodge was opened in Ample Form, and after prayer by the Grand Chaplain, - the list of deceased Past Grand Masters was read, and funeral honors were rendered, in reverent s,pirit. We pause to remark that, to our mind, this ceremony is worthy and legitimate. ANNUAL ADDRESS. From this we quote, with strong commendation, the following paragraphs, ,introduced by a reverential allusion to the Most High God: Brethren, another year has passed into history and today, because of the infinite love and mercy of our Heavenly Father we are permitted to meet and review the acts of our officers and to enact such edicts as in the wisdom of this Grand Lodge may be deemed most expedient. The year his been one of restlessness. Discontent h3.5 permeated the atmosphere. The eyents of the last few years in the East, have disturbed the whole earth, muddied the waters of civilization, rubbed oft' the veneer, torn away the mask and revealed human nature unrestrained. Dark clouds, full of selfish

desires, extravagance, envy, hatred, greed and anarchy hang heavily over our Talr 'land, threatening strikes, destruction of property, financial disaster, hunger lI.nd hardships. All have been more or 'less affected from the humbleat to the highest In authority. Our chief executive and the senate cannot agree nor 'co~e to an understanding, One high in authority arises from a bed of illness to clash with his advisers: The profiteer has grown rich because the opportunity 'came for easily gotten 'gains, and with his accumulated wealth came the selfulh aesire 'for greater profits even though his fellow man 9Uffers !from the lack of the necessities of life. The laborers, forced by 'the high 'cost of living to, uk for more wages received them and '.yet there are many leaders whom they ,blindly follow, that instill 'into the minds of the masses a spirit of unrest and a desire for greater wages and less service. Capital and labor are far 'apart. 'In' many cases the "employer is dictated to 'by help that is about as inefficient as could 'be imagined. The whole world today· suffers because of the lack of production and the bread line is not an idle dream. With each increase of pay, production is decreased. We all sutTer because too often we blin4ly follow lawless leadeN whose personal ambitions lead to crime and the destruction of prollerty. One class says, "We must govern," another, "We shall rule," and. yet another submits to no authority, ,disregards the law and proclaims, "We are the'law." In II. certain cultured city, the' defenders of the law strike, and though sworn to .guard the peace and property, and to protect society~esert their posts of duty and permit lawlessness and violence to bring' disgrace upon the fair 'name of our nation. 'The desire to centralize power and authority ·has increased, and many ·are almost ·p~rsuaded to think that the 'respect for law has decreased. The "worship of the living and true God has waned, ·while men run after false ,gods, such as wealth, power authority, social distinctions and political supremacy, and then lies the danger. So long as the ancient Jews 'worshipped 'God and followed him they dwelt in peace and happiness and enjoyed prosperity; but when they followed fal&e gods, enemies arose, attacked and overcame them and put them into slavery to remain 'in slavery until some good prophet came to win them back to the 'worship of ,Jehovah and caused them to overcome' their oppressors and regain their freedom.

SCHOOLS OF INSTRUCTION. 'The Grand Master personally presided at a School of'Instruction, held immediately 'after the closing o'f the last Grand Lnd,ge, and was' also present at 'County 'Schools of Instruction held afterwards. He is optimistic with reference to the good to be accom'plished by these schools. ,SALE 'OF MASONIC TEMPLE. Owing to the inadequacy of the Masonic Temple to meet the 'needs of the Grand Lodge, 'the Grand Master announced that the Temple had been sold for $150,000.00, and ·it further appearing that the Albert Pike Consistory had proposed to erect an addition to .their building sufficient to accommodate the Grand Lodge, which was not in condition to erect 'a suitatile 'Temple, 'it was decided to accel}t the offer of 'the 'Consistory, 'making to the 'Consistory a loan of $25,000.00, to aid in their proposed extension.

4ID FOR THE DESTITUTE. The Grand Master sent a circular to all the lod~es, calling attention to the edict of the Grand Lodge, that every lodge should hold a special communication -prior to the sesshm of the Grand Lodge,at which an appeal should be made for'a contribution from every member to aid the destitute and needy of the Fraternity,their widows and orphans. He insists that every member is well able to pay one d-ollar to this worthy cause, and as 'many appeals. tQr aid are coming to the Committee having this matter in. charge, he trusts that at least $20,000.00 wouid be reported to the Grand Lodge, which sum would be sufficient to supply present needs. (Unless we have mistaken the record, the amount received from this source was comparatively small, and it was confessed that the method of voluntary contribution could not be relied on.) GEORGE WASHINGTON MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION. ~he Grand Master. refers tentatively to this association, basing his non-attendance on his embarrassment as to what amount could be expected from Arkansas, in aid of this association, etc., etc. The Grand Master reports the resignation of the Grand Treasurer, Brother Tucker, on account of his age, and states that he had appointed Brother R. C. Bright to fill the place until the session of the Grand Lodge. DECiSIONS. The Grand Master rendered several decisions, all in aecordance with Masonic Law and Usage, in answer to questions coming to 'him during the year. THE STARS AND STRIPES. Referring to the questi9n of having The. Flag in every lodgeroom, the Grand .Master exhibits 路his historical' knowledge, and eloquence .in a beautiful trioute 路to The Flag, and to the national heroes associated with its early history. The Grand Master makes a brief reference to the MasonicService Association, and the, visit of ,P. G. M. George L. Schoonover, but does not comment upon the subject. The Grand Master laid. several corner stones during路 the year~ with ~asonic, HOnors. MASONIC HOME. . This institution has now only 58 chil~ren inmates,-'-the smailest number f.or years, and'the cost ,per capita was greater than ever before, owing, of course, to existing conditions. '"

COMMITTEE ON CORRESPONDENCE. The custom of Arkansas is to present no regular report on correspondence, and the Committee presented only a brief statement of such matters as had been directly sUb~itted to them, and the principal item brought forward is to the effect that the Grand Lodge of France, after a heated controversy, had decided to admit women to membership. The comment of the Committee is, that, if this report be true, it will be the death of French Masonry, as no regular, Grand Lodge can hereafter recognize it.

Th'e Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Free and, Accepted Masons of theJ';urisdiction of California commenced its seventyfirst Annual Communication in Masonic Temple in ,the City of San Francisco, on Tuesday, October 12, 1920,. at 10 o'clock A. M. The Grand Lodge was opened in Ample Form, with prayer' by the Grand Chaplain. ADDRESS OF' THE GRAND MASTER. This is \a lengthy document of 75 pages, in which the Grand Master discusSes matters of the greatest importance. Lack of space alone f.orbids a number of-quotations which we should like to make. Commenting upon the application of Acacia Lodge 'to resume work in the German language the Grand Master, among' other things, says: . ' "I have long entertained the belief that with the retention by groups of foreign born citizens of the language of the country of their birth, there was a tendency to likewise .retain the habits, customs and mode of thought of that country to the ex'clusion of those of our own. I beHeved that it would be not only to the benefit of the nation but as well to the benefit 'of thooe' foreign born citizens, to dis-

courage the usc of the language of the country of their birth, because it would tend to Americanize them. Ifor the same reason I have advocated the exclusive use of the English language' as a medium of instruction in our _ elementary schools; and I have even deprecated the prevalence of foreign language news- _ papers. Entertaining these views, my desire to have all our Lodges work in the English language Wag a very natural one; but with the knowledge I now had, I realized that I had failed to take into consideration the peculiar r.<>nditions which differentiate a Masonic Lodge from any other institution composed of foreign born citizens. I had entirely ignored. the fact that if the worthy and well qualified of our foreign born citizens are to be imbued with- the princi!ples of Masonry. it must be through the medium of a language with which they are thoroughly familiar. On mature reflection I became convinced that insofar at least as Masonic Lodges are concerned, adherence to the ideas I had theretofore entertained would not only work an injustice to the individual, but would be inclined to defeat the very purpose I had in mind. With the conviction that there was no good reason why the use of foreign languages should not be permitted, I had no reason to Withhold my recommendation of the petition of Acacia Lodge."

"POLITICKS". Under this head the Grand Master says: As is of course known to most of the brethren in Grand Lodge, I have long been of the opinion, which I have not hesitated to publicly express, that Masonry as an Institution would not continue to justify the' esteem in which it is held unless. the craft were awakened to a realization of the duties which devolve upun us as citizens..

and he proceeds at length to set forth his views. The Report of the Committee on Grand Master's Address has the following: The Grand Master has sought to impress upon Masons throughout the jurisdiction the importance of informing themselves, as individuals, with reference to public affairs. He has urged them to a quicker interest in the duties of citizenship. He has commended to them certain specific' subjects as especially dC5erving of their attention. The facilities of the Institution have been employed to impart inspiration and enllghtenm'ent to the individual, but with no intent that any individual should in turn seck to commit the Institution to the formal sUDPort of persons or particular measures. The Grand Master has spoken in terms sO clear and explicit that misconception would appear to be well-nigh impossible; and yet, perha.ps, the thought of some brethren has experienced confusion. Instances of ill-adV'ised action on the part of Lodges, or officers of LodgM, have. been rare indeed. Your committAle is confident that insofar as Craft l\{asonry is concerned, the sound judgment of the great 'body of our membership, and its attachment to the true ideals and purposes of Masonry, will stand as sure defenses against impropriety @f action or rashness of counsel. There is perceivable, however, the operation of a certaillj spirit which is manifesting itself occasionally in ill-considered measures and proposals by organizations restricting their membership to M,aster Masons, and representing themselves to be Masonic, or "branches of Masonry." The Grand Master has specifically pointed out the regrettable political propaganda recently promoted in the name of Jinnistan

Appendix.

Grotto in I.os Angeles, and has also stated his reasons for disapproving of the proposed organization of 'R particular "Masonic" Industrial association in Humboldt County. Your committee agrees unreservedly with the observations of hiS Message with respect to the3e matters, and therefore recommends that, by the adoption of this report, his attitude toward both these casC5, and his action in 0ne, be ap'proved.

ORATION. The annual oration was given by W. Albert E. Boynton, of Oraville Lodge No. 103, and was most enthusiastically received. Lack of space forbids more than a brief extract, much to our regret. "And now, in conclusion, let me repeat what has been said so many times, that "Masonry is always a force for good in every community where its 路true spirit actuates those who guide H~ labors. It lays hold deep down In the souIB of men and lifts them from darkness to light. It comes to the sick and distre.ssed as an angel of mercy, ministering to those entitled to our assistance. Ours is a noble order grown venerable in the practice of charity. It has made concrete the philosophy of the ages, and showered blessings upon the widow and the orphan who have our special care." "We believe in the great work .<>f this grand fraternity because its principles and teachings are not limited by time, but are in harmony with the Creator's plan for the happiness and prosperity of the human race to the end that we may gain entrance into a 'larger sphere of usefulness and enjoyment. Every symbol, every thought, every le.sson impressed, touches a responsive chord in the hUlnan heart, resulting in higher aspirations and :l desire to enter the door of opportunity and accept the responsibility of using the'talents wherewith the Creator has been pleased to endow us, not only to. His glory, but for the welfare of humanity. Everywhere that Masonry has been taught and practiced the imprint of our Institution has been indelibly stamped upon the pages of history recording its growth and progress, its disciples ever and at all times recognized as standing for the highest type of moral development and citizenship."

MASONIC' HOMES. Our California Brethren are awake to the importance of their work in connection with the Masonic Homes, and instituted, a year ahead of Missouri, the plan of requiring all initiates and affiliates to pay the sum of twenty dollars to the "Home Funds". It is with pleasure that we note the result of their first year's effort on this line. We find that the sum of $77,620 has come to the Fund in that period, and the plan is now so well established that California will not revise or alter-but "let good enough aione". ACACIA' LODGE. The following report was adopted: The recommendations of the Grand Master with reference to Acacia Lodge together with the petition of said Lodge for the right to return !.o the use of the German language in its l'ituallstic work, have been referred' to this committee, and It is our opinion, both as a matter of policy and ot equity, that

[Sept.

no special priviliges or immunities should be extended to any Lodges or individuals under this Grand Jurisdiction, and inasmuch as the privilege of workng in th~ir rrepective languages has been extended And oontinued to another Lodge working in the German language, and to others working in the French and Italian languages, respectively, we can see 110 good purpose in perpetuating this inequality, and we therefore recommend that the petition of Acacia Lodge No. 4:i8 for grant of right to U8e the German language approved, and permission given by this Grand Lodge in accordance with said petition.

FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE. The Report of the Committee on Foreign C'orrespoodence is from the pen of our good brother, Jesse M. Whited, and is the only one of its kind that comes to our table. Missouri's Correspondent is quoted under the captions: "Banquets", and "Bouquets aI!d Brickbats". Inasmuch, however, as our brethren know us, we will not give the quotations.

ANNUAL ADDRESS. This locality is forever hallowed by the names of General Brock, Laura Secord and Father Hennepin; associated with it is the history of the wanderings or the Loyalists in search of freedom, men who at the peril of their lives gave up all for honour. Here, too, was convened the PIoneer Parliament or Upper Canada. On the eighteenth September, 1792, our first Parliament with its sixteen members met, history tells us, at Newark, now Niagara. Their faith knew no limits, their hope waS undying, their heroism was undaunted. They assembled in a hut at the bidding of the Soldier Statesman, Governor Simcoe. .As they deliberated ,the thunder and roar of the cataract 'boomed incessantly about them; ,South or them was a disot'ganized and unsympathetic people, to the East, West and North was the unknown wiId~rness, repellent, majestic and full of mystery and yet they faltered not; they recalled the soft memories of the Mother Land; their love or liberty buoyed them up and they a,ddressed themselves with commendable resoluteness to the problems of the hour. Brave men those, nation builders, pioneers of civilization, pathfinders hewing out paths in the face of frightful odds and laying foundations broad and deep, based on that "righteousness w路hich alone exalteth a Nation," for happier conditions yet to come.

The report is well written throughout, but contains little except of purely local interest. The Grand Master alludes to the general prosperity of the year and the extensive growth of the membership, but he warns against the indulgence of rivalry between Lodges and also against too great zeal in introducing' new members. DISPENSATIONS. The Grand Master granted Dispensations for the formation of seventeen Lodges during the year, and also granted more than 500 Dispensations most of which were for special meetings for Divine Service and installations and also granting liberty to confer degrees upon 53 candidates, "not perfect in body". ORDER OF EASTERN STAR. We are surprised to note that the Grand Master was requested to declare the Order of the Eastern Star a clandestine body, and while declining to do this, he evidently disapproves of the Eastern Star and warns all Masons against it. He reCites a law issued by the Grand Lodge of England (1919) repudiating all such Orders and warning all members of the Fraternity not to recognize nor joi~ them, under threat of expulsion. Evidently the ,principles and purposes of the Order of the Eastern Star are n~t understood by our Canadian and English brethren. With us at least it is well known that the Order does not claim to be Masonic, and there' is no more reason to forbid

Masons joining the Order than' 'to 'forbid them joining an ordinary club or debating society. We entirely agree with the Grand Master, in ,opposing public processions in regalia, especially to attend church, but we cannot sympathize with him in his liberal interpre:tiltion of the 'ancient 'landmark and general law of Freemasonry as to 'physical ability. FINANCIAL. The Grand ,Lodge seems to ,be in excellent condition financially, 'and its benevolent spirit cannot be doubted, as during the past year, it gave more than $50,000.00 to charity. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE. M. 'W.Bro. A. T.

THE SIXTIETH ANNUAL COMMUNICATION. This was held "in the Masonic Temple in the city of 'Denver, Sept. 21st-22nd, Grand Master Frank L. Bishop presiding. The attendance was good and the. opening e~ercises as usual with this Grand Lodge. M. W. Brother James LeRoy Cattron, 'Grand Master 'of Masonry in Utah, was introduced and the usual honors accorded him; the Grand Master welcomed him in ,fitting terms to which he responded plea1:iantly but briefiy. The roll of deceased Past Grand Masters was called by the 'Grand Secretary and to 'each name the Grand Ma~ter responded, giving year of service and date of death. This was followed 路by a solo sung by Llewellyn 'Jones-"The Sweet By and By." The roll of Grand Representatives was called and they were welcomed in .due form by the Grand Master, and W. Brother Herbert S. Sands responded in fitting terms, and 'we are glad to give our readers a selection: We are in a condition of unrest; our social and commercial relations are disturbed as they have never been disturbed before; cl3.S6 is arraying 'itself against class; ~en are clamoring for individual freedom and their own indlvdual rights without regard to the rights of others. An unrest pervades the whole body politic; theories that were once held in derlision as fantastic and utopian are now preached as bed-rock truths; panacea.s are offered the working cla.sses by which they can become prosperous by being thoroughly selfish. The greed for wealth is' becoming a national disease; groups of men without rega.rd to law seek by violence to obtain their demands, or under the hysteria of mob rule, destroy life and property, forgetting that the constitutional rights of individual freedom primarily gives them the right by representation to make laws and, once made, those Jaws must be sll8tained and enforced fOT the preservation of society; and all this is not surprising, as in times of crises, seltpreservation-the first law of nature-particularly asserts itself. It is shown in its highest form in patriotism and in its lowest ,form in gross and selfish personal gain. Countries have grown in strength and power and had their day; governments have come and gone; empires have risen in glory and faded away; all relics of 'the past because of selfishness and intolerance, because 'of gratification of the desire of an individual or a clique; but if we are going to make our government become the enduring mQnument of liberty, it is the duty of every citizen who loves the flag, who believes in our institutions, to see to it that each shall obtain his rights under the Constitution, through the due process o,f law and order and organized g~verument, and that any who shall attempt to take the law into their own hands shall be considered enemies to our freedom and to our institutions and traitors to our country and flag.

THE ANNUAL ADRRESS. The Grand Master introduced 路his report in.pleasant hut very modest terms and without ;indlilging in senVment proceeds to give

Appendix.

[Sept.

a well arranged account of his official acts during the year. The Grand Master reports no decisions, stating that aU questions submitted to him were fully answered by reference to the Law and Decisions of former Grand lVIasters. (We are glad to note this as some Grand Masters multiply decisions, for which there is no real need and which may serve to confuse rather than help.) VISITATIONS, OFFICIAL AND OTHERWISE. The Grand Master visited many Lodges and expresses regret that he was not able to visit all, because of lack of time and distances necessary to be travelled. He expresses his pleasure in being privileged to visit the Grand Lodges of Utah and Kansas during their Annual Sessions, at both of which he was aocorded all P9ssible courtesy and consideration. DECEASED PAST GRAND MA8TERS. The Grand Master ~efers in tender terms to Past Grand Masters Wm. David Todd and Clarence Melville Kellogg, both of whom were present at the last Annual Communication and have died during the year. MASONIC SERVICE' ABSOCIATION. The Grand Master states that though authorized by the Grand Lodge to visit this body at its annual meeting, he did not do so as he was opposed to the purpose路 suggested and he proceeds to give his reasons for such opposition. In co.nclusion he recommends that the Grand Lodge pay one cent per member to the said Association and withdraw therefrom. (This was confirmed by the Grand Lodge.) We may further add that the Grand Master gave a number of excerpts from Grand Lodges and Grand Officers of other Grand Jurisdictions, all in opposition to .the Masonic Service Association. GROTTO. The Grand Master refers to the fact that the last Grand Master issued an edict declaring it un-Masonic and unlawful for any Mason in this Jurisdiction to join the so-called Veiled Prophets of the Enchanted Realm, and that the Grand Lodge endorsed this edict. Notwithstanding this, however, the Grand Master had been informed that a numrber of Masons .had joined said order. He affirms position of the former Grand Master and recommends that the Grand Lodge take suitable action. This recommendation was formally endorsed by the Grand Lodge and the Grotto is therefore officially repudiated in that Jurisdiction.

We know nothing, good or bad, of this institution, and therefore make no comment o~ the above. The Grand Master thus concludes: FAREWELL. My first attendance on this Grand Lodge as a member was in 1897, and 1 have attended each session since, being a member of all but! a very few. What a wonderful pleasure. it is to know that I am now a permanent member, and have the continued privilege of that association that ha6 become 80 dear to me. I am not saying "Good-Bye" to any. but I do say "Q{)od luck and God-speed to all"-both officers and members. The officers of this Grand Lodge are not only my Brethren, but each one my personal friend. ~ a Brother-as a friendii at any time, in any way, there is an opportunity for me to show my love and esteem for any or all of you, pi ease give me that chance, 50 that in Borne alight wllY I may repay the ever so IlIany obligations I feel lowe you. And to the Brethren of the Grand Lodge and this Grand Jurisdiction, I flay the same. You it was who have honored me; first, by making me eligible to membership herein, and then by advancement in one way or another, until step by step, through the various offices to the highest. I hope I can continue to merit your esteem.

FOREION CORRESPONDENCE. Our worthy Brother S. C. Warner .gave us a brief but rather interesting report, prefacing it by a foreword of even greater interest, from which we excerpt a few paragraphs: The question of physical disability is now the most serious problem before the Craft, and a general tendency is shown to let down the bars. This 1>revails in some of our most cOllservative Jurisdictions. Adjustments have not yet been fully made, nor opinions fully formed as to the wisdom of the policy almost universally adopted during the war of initiations . Without regular investigation, legal ballots. legal delays, and the formalities which in the past surrounded the entrance of candidates into the Order. Further time must elapse before the influence of these vario1I5 emotional activities can be fully determIned. The recognition of French and other Latin Masonry is still a subject of Interest to the Craft in general. The majority of those Grand Lodges which have delayed actlon, now seem loth to waive a belief Deity by the appl'!canfs for recognition. Your committee is still unprepared to advise the recognition of either the Grand Lodge or the路 Grand Orient of France, and recommends that no present action be taken in the matter. Despite the criticiSIll6 of some of the correspondenf.a in our sister Jurisdictions, your committee is still of the opinion that its province is to present to this Grand Lodge a resume of the work of our sister Jurisdictions. without interposing aD expression of its personal opinions.

The 132nd Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge was / held at Hartford, Feb. 4th-5th, 1920. The Proceedings of the Grand Lodge of Connecticut appear in a volume so sadly mutilated as to render a satisfactory review impossible. The volume has evidently been '''assembled'' by an apprentice, new to the work or by a foreman altogether indifferent to the prohibitory law. The pages from number 32 to number 65 are altogether missing, likewise from No. 80 to number 97. The first omission we. especially regret because it contains the larger and certainly the more important part of the Grand Master's report, leaving nothing except his exordium, which promises much, and after the omission a prolonged detail of visitations, banquets, etc., etc. We quote one paragraph which is amusing but somewhat cruel: 'fhe next day, being the Sabbath I stayed at Storrs, and as a matter of compliment, listened to a sermon in the College Chapel by the Grand Chaplain. It was a grand sermon, as I had told him on a previous occasion.

Three ~mer.gent Communications were held during"-,the year, which are reported in detail, one for constituting a Lodge, one for laying corner stone of new building of Masonic Ilome, and one for dedicating the same. Altogether the year seems to have been one of successful and worthy activity. Among the conclusions of the Committee on Jurisprudence we quote one with approval which we think will be of general interest:

He:rolved, that the conferring of the degreoo of Masonry by Connecticut Rock Lodge No. 92 in the German lan/{uge Wll8 contrary k> the expr~ resolution passed by this Grand I-odge at itsi annual communicatio'n of 1919, and that any further action by Connecticut Rock Lodge, in any manner, either in the transaction of business 01' conferring of degrees, in any language except the English language shall constitute a forfeiture of its Charter and the Grand Mastcr shall immediately take possession of the same and sll.'lpcnd all further action by that Lodge until the next ses.<;ion of the Grand I,odge.

quotation from his review of the Grand Lodge of Nevada. From the conclusion of the Correspondent, M. W. Bro. Kies, we quote the following with distinct approval: FRENCH MASONRY. Grand Masters and reporters have devoted much spac~ to argument for and against recognition of French Masonry and a minority of Grand Lodges have accorded the same. The main reasons adduced, have been: 1. While not requiring a positive belief in Deity, the French bodies have not denounced it, and hence cannot be called atheistic. 2. The &plendid service of France in the war for humanity makes Masonic recognition a duty as payment of a debt of gratitude. 'the last argument may be dismissed as unduly magnifying, extending, and confusing an abstract sentiment with Masonic, duty. On the same grounds, we might demand that 'Protestant Churches in America should officially recognize the Romanish Church, which is still the prevailing sect in France. Masonry will live long after this war hysteria has subsided. Whatever action is taken in thiB matter should be based upon the best permanent- interests of the entire Fraternity. As to belief in 'Deity, is not such belief a basic pillar of OUT Institution? Docs not the French "liberty of conscience" open the door to admission of atheists? In the second section of the E. A. lecture, are we not given a cogent reason why no atheist can become a Mason? To our mind, an affirmative answer to the above ql'lcstions will preclude recognition under present conditions.

THE ANNUAL COMMUNICATION. The Most Worshipful Grand Lod,ge of Oonnecticut held its One Hundred and Thirty-Third Annual Communication in the Masonic Temple in the City of Hartford, February 2nd and 3rd, 1921. The opening ceremonies were as usual, with prayer by the Grand. Chaplain, and the entire number of lodges (114) were reported as present by their representatives. THE ANNUAL ADDR~S. The Address of the Grand Master is somewhat unusual in length, covering sixty pages, but its excellence is ample apology. Among the open.ing paragra,phs, we find the. following:

Appendix.

[Sept.

I have the honor of being the seventy-fourth Grand Master and, although the number is not a multiple of three, five or seven, I must disagree with the one who proclaimed there is "no Buch thing as luck." "How soon the days of our' glory pass, Favor's a thing that is quick to change, Men who were leaders a year ago, Are now thrust aside; it is not strange." The yeaT 1920 is but a day. It Beems but yesterday you honored me with the opportunity to serve you. It has been a. year of labor, but a labor- of love and the recompense has truly been great. The friends I have made, the distinguished Brethren I have met and the wonderful fraternal gatherings I have attended, Have convinced me that he who serves most serves best. I think the custom of having the Grand Master, serve but one year instead of two or three is abllOlutely best and safest for the Fraternity. Even if now and then one does not measure up to the highest standard because new idOO6, new suggestions and new decisions are rendered oftener and a~ain like Tenny- . son's "Brook", "Grand Masters may come and Grand Masters may go, but the Grand Lodge of C~nnecticut will go on forever."

IN. MEMORIAM. The Grand Master dwells particularly and regretfully upon the death of Past Grand Master Walla<:e S. Moyle, reciting the special fad of his eminent service in rebuilding the temple, and his high chara0ter .as a man and a Mason. He alludes in kindly terms to the distinguished dead of other jurisdktions. DISTRICT DEPUTY GRAND MASTERS. Tl'le Grand Master incorporates the reports of all the District Deputies in his Report, which. fad adds to the length of his address, and perhaps unnecessarily, as they dwell chiefly uPon matters of mere routine. PHYSICAL QUALIFICATIONS. The Grand Master dwells at great length upon the subject of physical qualifications, eVide~cing a desire for a more liberal in路". terpretation of the law upon that subject, and in his discussion he quotes the opinions of ~any Grand Masters, and the action of many Grand Lodges, opening the door mu<:h wjder to candidates for Freemasonry than it has been in the past. The Committee on Juris'prudence differs with the Grand Master, but in most respedful terms, as to his interpretation of the law, as held by the Grand Lodge of Connecticut, and quotes several decisions approved by the Grand Lodge, in support of their position. . They agree, however, t~at no change in the law is nQcessary.

1921.]

Appendix.

We have noted. for some time, and with something of concern, that this matter occupies the attention of many Grand Lodges, and, as it' seems to us, is decided rather by sentiment than by an aJppeal to reason and ancient landmarks. As we have often remarked, Masonry was never intended as a popular institution, and membership in the Fraternity is not a necessity to any man. We may hold a friend, even of kindred blood, in profound and tender regard, and yet we should not be blind to the fact that his misfortune must prevent him from being useful to the Fraternity, and that hamay beoome a liability rather than an asset. However, we would not critidze our Brethren of this, or any other jurisdiction, for their attitude upon this subject. But we think this question, at present, is the most serious, and possibly the mostdangerous, our order has to encounter. DISPENSATIONS. Two Lodges were created by dispensation during the year, and many dispensations were granted for minor pur,poses. VISITATIONS. The Grand Master evidenced his zeal for 'Free Masonry by, visiting many Lodges during the year, and refers in pleasant terms to several ~mportant occasions, and the kindl.y hospitality reo ceived from the Fraternity. He did not count it a hardship toÂˇ devote time and strength to this work, even to the sacrifice of business interests. NATIONAL LEAGUE OF MASONIC CLUBS. . The Grand Master reports attendance upon~ the Annual Meeting of this Institution, and is enthusiastic with reference to the many worthy and delightful experiences connected therewith. The meeting was held alt Waldorf-Astoria, in New York, July 6-7-8. ARMENIAN RELIEF. -Grand Master issued a circula~ letter to all the lodges asking a contribution for the relief of the needy and suffering in Armenia, and reports the amount of $1500.00 was raised for that purpose. (This was infinitely better than a grand banquet.) T~e

DEClSIONS. We note the follOWing with approval: Que.stion: An application was received, Teferred to a committee that reported worthy, ballot was taken and declared clear. On or before next meeting objection was made to the W. M., statinl:j that applicant was a Hebrew

and should not be admitted to membership. Later objection was withdrawn but another member asked for ballot which was granted and applicant was rejected. Was it lawful? Answer: Perfectly lawful, W call for a ballot which the Master must grant. (Lockwood)" but the Brother objecting on account of religious faith should have, chargM, preferred against him and expulsion should not be too severe.

WASHINGTON M:IDMORIAL ASSOCIATION. The Grand Master' attended the meeting of the Washington Memorial Association in a very skeptical frame oj mind as to its wo~th, but was fully conv~rted by the various addresses and general information recei.ved, and is enthusiastic in his appeal to c.onnecticut tQ take str,6ng' g~ound in behalf of the project, and introduces a new idea, by sug:gesting the prQPosed building as a home for The Masonic Service AS?sociation. With reference to this institution, we quote the Grand Master: MASONIC SERVICE ASSOCIATION. Before the time arrived, to finally decide about attending the Masonic Service Association this year, I was a little troubled regarding the advisability. I ..knew that Past Grand Master Moy.le was very enthusiastic after retu~ing' from th~ convention at Grand Rapids last year. And I knew he was in the heartiest accord with the movement, but I was doubtful about some of the other Grand .Jurisdictions joining and some that had joined, remaining as members. Finally, at the ele,venth, hour, I decided that the Grand Lodge of Connecticut should be represented, and I -acco..rdingly dropped my I egular working tools and started for St. Louis. Now I am in hearty sympathy with this Association. The time is soon coming when we are going to think of the Brethren who were far-sighted enough to organize the Masonic Service AssocIation and call them blessed. They are now issuing bulletins which give us a vision into the future regarding' Maaonic education. There are some jurisdictions that have become so self-satisfied that they feel that they are su~cient unto themselves and do not need the interchanging of ideas and plan..<;. To my mind ,they ar just the ones who do need assistance. When a Lodge or Grand Lodge arrives at the point of perfection wherein they cannot 'advance, the machinery reverses and they go backward. I believe the Masonic Service Association is destined to become a wonderful agency for national Masonic assistance and educatlo~. I also feel that in inter-visitation when the brethren of, one jurisd~ction can get, inspiration and uplift that comes with a message from another jurisdiction, an exchange of ideas, and results, that it is worth the time and expense involved. The work which we have undertaken is not the work of a day or a year. It is not the work of one man or of one ~roup of men. It 15 a work which demands the be..<ft thought, the wisest counsel, and the most fraternal spirit of all the jurisdictions. We must advise with those br~thren who by virtue of their training, their foresight and theill.' breadth of vision can help us build a program which Is righ~ in principle, correct from the viewpoint of the t~acher, and comprehcnsiv,e enough so that it will appeal to the min!! of the initiate as logical and con:Vincing.

Appendix.

Nor must we e~pect to accomplish everything all at once. Each or our jurisdictions should take the material prepared· and usc it in such manner as its Grand OfficeI'S shall believe best suited to local conditions. By exchanging views here, comparing methods and plans, we shall be able to help each other. At our next meeting we shall be able to profit by one another's experiences, and in the long run the test of the whole program will be the result of those experiences.

The Grand Master thus. concludes his. address: May your· light be no less than the three lesser lights And as near the "Great Light" as· thine endeavor can attaIn.

FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE. Our good Brother Kiespresen-ts a strong but brief report, covering only seventy~one ,p8Jges. He reviews Missouri, touching only salient points and refers to· several opinions h€ld by the Missouri Correspondent, but in no unkindly terms, although he does not seem to agree fully.

ANNUAL ADDRESS which was brief and becomingly modest, as evidenced by the opening paragraph which we quote in full. - Brethren: In submitting this report for your consideration, it is with the comforting knowledge that I am not presenting a record of personal achievement to the critical judgment of an exacting constituency, but rather a simpie narrative of my officlai acf8 to a: oompany of friends and brothers, all of whom, by word and deed, have been ev~ ready to aid in the orderly a'dministration of our a1fairs throughout the year.

The Grand Master refers in reverential terms to the fratemal dead. By order of the Grand Lodge the Grand Master issued a dupli· cate Charter to Union Lodge No. 5 at Middleton, the original 9harter dated Jan. 24, 1816, having ,been destroyed by fire in 1918100 years after, its issuance by this Grand Lodge. OFFICIAL VISITS The Grand Master visited each one of the 22 Lodges belonging to this jur·isdiction., during the year, and each occasion was peculiarlyenjoyable as well as profitable to the Lodges and as the result he reports unusual activity and great success throughout the jurisdiction. The Grand Master received a number of special invitations to attend d~stinguished functions in several neigh,boring jurisdictions, all of which he was compelled reluctantly to decline' with the exception of the Grand Lodge of New Jersey, where he was received and entertained with most kindly ·consideration. MASONIC SERVICE ASSOCIATION The Grand Master refers to this Association in terms of strong commendation, narrating his attendance at the first meeting, held in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and refers to the fact that 37 Grand Lodges have become members. He confidentlY'believes that this Institution "'ill be of much benefit to our great Order. MASONIC HOME· On this subject the Grand Master speaks with. earnestness as follows: .

sym~athe~ic

I shall not anticipate the report of the Board of Managers of the· MasonIc 'Home of 'Delaware, The members of this Board have given unsparingly of their time and talents to the work alloted them. . The splendid results of their administration are pleasing to every member of the Craft in Delaware.

Managers called our attention to the f~t that the time Is approaching when. the' Home will have to be enlal'ged, if we are to receive all who desire to enter. There is another lack, to which my attention has been called. It is that we are unablte to accept applications from those who require a personal attendant, and who, for that very reason, should receive especial consideration. It is also true that those wlio now are acceJlted as guests, as they advance in years,' require incroosed personal attention. Our thought 'should be to provide ways and means to build an infirmary and employ the necessary attendants for those who require such service. The Masonic Home represents all that is best in Delaware Freemasonry and the problem of pcoviding ways and means for its needed growth and additional equipment should receive our immQdiate thought and prompt action.

(In this ,connection we, may state that there are twelve guests in the Masonic Home and the per capita expense is $612.80.) GIDO. IWASHINGTON MEMORIAL. The Grand Master evidences his interest in this movement by urging that the sum of $1.00 per capita be collected from a.H Master Masons in this Grand Jurisdiction, by the 1st of Feb., 1921, in aid of this worthy enterprise.. ' ,The revort of the Grand Master inclUding the recommendations met with the unanimous approval' of .the Grand Lodge. We excerpt one more paragraph from the address of the Grand Master, which appeals to ·us as most worthy: During the Masonic Year ending June 24th, 1920, our membership increased from 4,38'6 to 4',931, ~ gain of 545. Most of these are young men who have eagerly taken to heart the ideals and principles of Freem~nry, and who stand ready to put them into practice with all their fresh enthusiasm and undaunted courage. Those of us who ar{l older in the Fraternity must 500 to it that these young mell tully recognize that. the Blue Lodge is pr&-eminent in our system of Freemasonry, and we should impress upon them by precept and example the necessity of giving loyal co-operationi and whole-hearted support to the activities of their chosen Lodges. In no othe~ wayean they attain to the full estate of an intelligent and forceful Master Mason, for in the Blue Lodge is contained the essence of Freemasonry.

FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE This report is from the worthy pen of Bro. Thos. J~ Day, and is quite brief, occupying only 54 pag~s in a review of the proceedings of 64 Grand Lodges. Missouri is recognized and Bro. Day regrets that Delaware was, not reviewed' in our report in -cor· respondence.

1921

J. Harry Cunningham, G. M. Charles J. O'Neill, G.M. Arvine W. Johnston, G. S. Re-elected George W. Baird. Committee on Correspondence Lodges, 30. Membership, 16,306. Gain, 2,583. 'Besides an interesting picture of Past Grand Master J. Harry Cunningham, which indicates a man, not only of fine appearance, but of high character as well-the volume of proceedings is further introduced by the detailed report of several Communkationsthe most important of which was to pay funeral honors to Past Grand Master George C. Ober, who died on February 25th, 1920, B.nd路 whose great worth as a man and a Mason was strikingly set forth in t'he report of the Committee. ANNUAL COMMUNICATION The Jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of the District of Columbia is so comparatively small in extent of territory, that it is easy for all representatives to reach the place of meeting in a short time, and for this, and other reasons, we find the Grand Lodge beginning its Communieation THE ONE-HUNDREDTH AND' TENTH in t'he City of Washington, at seven P. M. December 15th, 1920. The Opening ceremonies were as usual, with prayer by Brother Gratz E. Dunkum, in the absence of the Grand Chaplains. A pleasant incident in connection with the opening, was a welcoming introduction of Past Grand Mastel Lurtin R. Ginn, of. that JUdsdiction, whom the Grand Master warmly congratulated on the eminent services he had rendered the government during his SDjourn in France. The Grand Master alser- extended Fraternal Greetings toa number of other Past Grand Masters of that Jurisdiction and to several distinguil:;hed yisitors from other states. The Grand Master thus happily introduces his Annual Address: Brethren of the Grand Ledge: IJittle by little the路time goes bYShort, if you sini through it, long, if you sigh. Little by little-an hour a day, Gone with the years that have vanished away. Little by little the race is run; Trouble and waiting and toil are done.

Appendix.

Though the Masonic year now closed has been crowded with events of import and interest, it seems but yesterday. that I was installed as Grand Master of this jurisdiction. It has been a year of great' activity, the undertakings of the Craft have been mainly accomplished, and when future generations read the Masonic history of 1920 they will find recorded achievements unsurpassed.

DIDCISIONS. In answer to the many questions propounded to him during the year, the Grand 'Master satisfied all by reference to the code, except in three -cases, whi,ch he reports to the Grand Lodge. The last one of these cases indicates an unfortunate condition in one路 of the lodges of the city, and while the action of the Grand Master in reference thereto was drastic and bold, this, as well as his entire report, was approved by the Committee on Jurisprudence. In this we heartily concur, and join in cOn:;tmendation of the Grand Master. In suc.h cases the interest of the Fraternity demands that quality in the Grand Master which is sometimes -called backbone! DISPENSATIONS. The Grand Master granted many dispensations for the purpose of short.ening the time between degrees, conferring degrees on more than one candidate at the same time, etc., etc., most of the requests for these dispensations be-Lng made on account of the congested c.oJ;ldition of the lodges superinduced by the war. He refused a request for dispensation to create an over-seas lodge at Coblenz, Germany-which action we fully endorse. (As to some ~f the others, we say nothing.) MASONIC TEMPLE. The Grand Lodge seems to be in grave doubt as to the proper action with reference to t!le Masonic Temple, and the. several reports and resolutions on this sUbj~ct are so involved as to leave us in doubt touching the final conclusion. y!e hope all difficulties in the way of building a new Temple may be speedily removed, and that our great Order may soon rejoice in the possession of a buil!iing worthy of itself and the city in which it is located. QUALIFICATIONS OF CANDlpATES. Discussing this subject he s路peaks as follows: Instances of great laxity on the part of investigating committees in not inquiring closely into the mental and physical qualifications of candidates have been brought to my attention. In some cases disqualifying physcial maims were not. discovered until after the candidate appeared for _the Entered Apprentice degree, and a Master informs me that five members of his lodge are now in the Government Hospital for the Insane, one of whom is infected with an Incurable and communicable disease. .

Appendix.

/ [Sept.

One of the instructions a committee member receives with the notlflcation of his appointment is to "ascertain If the applicant conforms to the four requisites for becoming a Mason," two of which are mental soundness and phYsical ability to "conform literally to all the requirements of the several degrees in Ancient Craft Masonry." If he does not perfonn thilf' duty he is guilty of unpardonable negligence, and if he thereby opens the door of his lodge to a person who l.'i mentally or physically unfit for membership he should be subjected to the discipiine of the lodge. I recommend that Mast~rs impress upon committee members the great· importance· of a faithful IJnd diligent investigation of the mental and physical fltness of candidates. I

The facts recited above are striking and unhappy, and lodges acting as ·above indicated should be disciplined. The Fraternity is certainly bei~g depreciated to an alarming extent by the. raception of crude, and even unworthy material, especially in the last few years. DIVINE SERVICE, AND LADIEil' NIGHTS. The Grand Master reports that many lodges had attended Divine Service on Sunday in various churches during the year, which he heartily approves, and trusts that it may become a general custom to be· followed from year to year. He also urges the various lodges "to set aside a night when time permit'ted" for the entertainment ·of the ladies. Several such occasions he himself attended, and speaks of them as most enjoyable. NEW LODGIDS. Two new lodges were created during the year, one by Dispen. sation, and the other, owing to the lar,ge number and character of the petitioners, received a charter direct from the Grand Lodge, on the recommendation of the Grand Master. GEORGE WASHINGTON MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION. The Grand ~aster attended the 'last annual meeting of th.is Association, and reports the occasion as impressive and interesting. He recit~s the fact that the District of Columbia claims to be the first jurisdiction to raise its quota of funds for the purposes of the Association. MASONIC SERVICE ASSOCIATION. The Grand Master speaks in somewhat dQulitful terms with reference to this institution. He· approves in general of the purposes set forth in the plan of the Association, but suggests tha.t the· educational work proposed, might be better done by members of the home jurisdiction than by strangers from a distance. The proceedings of the Grand Lodge of the District of Columbia are of more than ordinary interest, but the absence ~f a pr9per index renders a consecutive review somewhat difficult.

REPORT ON CORRESPONDIDNCE. , This is from the pen of Brother George W. Baird, and is' of that high quality which路 generally characterizes his work. It covers 152 pages, and we would be glad to commQnt on various items, but for want of space. He was kind to Missouri, complimenting several items, especially the report of the Committee on Foreign Grand Lodges, which he declares is most excellent. Br-other Baird compliments the Missouri Correspondent in very pleasant terms, and otherwise, by quoting him as follows: He approves of the German-speaking lodges changing over to the English language, and adds that "if the war did anything it solodifled us as a nation, and there should be no room for a hyphenated citizen of any kind, much less a. Mason."

And he further adds: While this ia true. it appears to us that the hyphenated from County Cork~ who were thorns in the sides of the Allies and boon companions to everything Teutonic, are now In the saddle and a worse menace to the Mason than are the Teutons. His review of the District of Columbia notes our statlstica, the Grand Master's address and the acts of the Grand Lodge, with correctness and approval, and notes that, in our correspondence report, the Grand Lodge of Missouri is kindly mentioned. 'fhe portrait of the Grand Master is on the first page of the report, a good work of art and a strong, earnest face, easy to look up to.

Appendix.

[Sept:

The Grand Master T. Picton Warlow, having been absent for some time during the year in connection with the great Masonic celebration in London, England, the Deputy Grand Master R. H. Cooper, was left in charge, and many of the duties and responsibilities of the administration were discharged by him. Both' the Grand Master and De})uty Grand Master presented reports to the Grand Lodge, which in our resume we consider as one. ANNUAL ADDRESS. The Address of the G.rand Master is comprehensive and worthy; we herewith 'present his opening remarks: Brethren: It was our fond belief that when the great war closed, the nations would come out of it as purged by fire, and that we would see a new order of things, in which peace and justice would prevail. Instead, the foun路, datlons of social order are shaken, the fundamental principles of organized society and government challenged with an undisguised boldness never before seen. The menace to the world in all this is not that capital and labor are at variance (that has often happened); that rival theories of ~overnment are struggling for the mastery and that opposing economic and social 'forces are arrayed against each other, but rather that In the great economic world, greed and avarice have become the moving factors, and the principles of truth, justice and brotherly love completely submerged in the struggle. Masonry. however, still survives, and In welcoming you to this our ninety路 first Annual Communication, I am happy to inform you that Masonic peace and harmony prevail, not only in. this jurisdiction, but among the Masons throughout the world, with which we have Fraternal relations. In the midst of turmoil, which is stirring even the churches, Masonry alone calmly pursues the eveil tenor of its way, steadily increasing in numbers, influence and solidarity and furnishing the leaven of faith in God, brotherly love and moderation, which in time we hope and believe will leaven the whole lump of humanity.

DISPENSATIONS. Many dispensations were issued, for soldiers and sailors on account of war emergencies, and five are reported, "to provide rna: terial for work at schools for instruction." If this means that profanes were introduced and degrees confe~red on them without the usual preliminaries of petition, exam路 ination, etc., it was, to say the least; quite unusual, but doubtless this was not the case. The Grand Master commends the George, Washington Memorial Association in strong terms. He also commends the Masonic Service Association and recom路 mends that a per capita of one cent per member be forwarded by Grand Treasurer to treasurer of said association.

. DECISIONS. A number of decisions are reported, all of which seem in accordance with Masonic Law and Usage, though the Committee on Jurisprudence comments on, and modifies, in two or three cases. JURISDICTIONAL LINES. The Grand Lodge passed a resolution in harmony with the Alabama law which permits a candidate residing within five miles of the state line to apply for membership to nearest lodge, even if in the other state. With Georgia, Florida has· "concurrent jurisdiction" by which, we suppose, is meant that condidates near the line in either state may apply to the neares.t lodge, even if in the other state. This seems to us a good arrangement, though confusion might 'arise as to distance. CONCLUSION. The Grand Master thus concludes his address: .A3 Grand Master I have been but a torch-bearer, trying with whatever strength I possessed, to hold high the beacon light which should guide us through the darkness of turmoil· and strife. I now hand on this torch to my successor in full confidence that he, and those who come after, will carry it to the heights toward whieh we gaze, and where one day we wiII find the realizatioR of all our Masonic hop~ and dreams, in the universal recl!gnitlon of the Fa therhood of God and the brotherhood of man.

FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE. Our Worthy Bro. Silas P. Wright, Past Grand Master, presents an excellent report ~overing 200 pages, of which he accords more than four to Missouri without criticism and in most kindly spirit. We would be glad to ·present some of his condusions, at length, but our space forbids. We greatly appreciate the brotherly spirit in which he refers to the ·Correspondent and fully reciprocate his kindly expressions.

AN INTERESTING FACT. H is a matter of unique and peculiar interest in the history of American Freemasonry, and one whi-ch distinguishes Georgia from every other jurisdiction within our knowledge, that all the Grand Officers, elective and appointiv~, were contin.ued in the same position for the next year. This, interpreted upon its face~ would seem' to indicate a unity of spirit, quite charming in its extent. ANNUAL COMMUNICATION. The One Hundred and Thirty-Fourth Annual Co.mmunication of the Grand Lodge of Georgia was held in the city of Macon, beghming its la'bors October 26th, at 10 o'clock A. M. The opening ceremonies were in accordance "with the new uniform work", which we trust does not introduce any change in the time honored formula of the Order. Most Worshipful Grand Master Lanham and Right Worshipful Grand Secretary Hart, of South Carolina, were received as distinguished visitors, being introduced by Grand Representative A. G. Miller, representative of the Grand Lodge of South Carolina, near the Grand Lodge of Georgia and Past Grand Master Robert L. Colding. The roll of Grand Officers and Grand Representatives was called. When the name of Past Grand Master Henry Banks, deceased, was called, an impressive eulogy was rendered by Past Grand Master Thomas H. Jeffries,which we are glad to give in full, having had the pleasure of knowing Brother Banks, and fully endorsing the "good words" of the eloquent speaker: "The sweet voice of the brother whose name you have called will never be heard again within these sacred walls. His voice is silenced here forever, but it seems we hear it from th~ realms of that celestiai Grand Lodge. He looks down upon his brethren here today, and we can almost hear him answer. You have asked me to pronounce a eulogy upon Bro. Banks here today If you but knew the true and brave meaning of the word eulogy-It means 'good word.' Good words are the only words any man' can say of Bro. Banks, Who knew him. Yet there are no words to express the sincere love which we feel in our hearts. Eulo~y--':""good words-was on every man's lips for Bro. Banks. There wa;> not a better loved man. in Georgia Masonry nor a more loving man. He was a great man with a 8tlil greater heart, loving first his God. next his fellow man. He shall always be considered the most loved of all Georgia Masons. His name and deeds shall live always In hearts and minds-of his brethren, though his â&#x20AC;˘ voice be silenced forever.

Appendix.

My brethren, in memory of our depaned brother, let us stand for a moment in silence."

After various minor matters of business, the Grand Master presented his ANNUAL ADDRESS. The Grand Master introduces his Annual Address in a spirit so reverent, and with words so well chosen that we are glad to quote a paragraph: ( One year ago you elected me your Grand Master.

I was fully conscious that

it was not due to my own deserts or because of my own attainments; but that it

was in response to the abundant love Ilnd afl'ection that you have always shown me. As much as I coveted! the honor Ilnd desired the high station, I hesitated upon its threshold; realizing its responsibility and the duties and task before me, but years ago, my Brethren, when I first passed across the threshold of a Masonic Lodge, you asked me, "In whom do you place your trusq" and when I answered, "In God:' you lIS8ured me I might arise, pursue my journey and fear no danger. . When I assumed the· duti~ of Grand Master Ii seemed to me I heard you ask again, "In whom do you place your trust 1" and I answer-ed, "God," there came to me, down from the hills of the Blue Ridge, across the marshes Qf Glynn, out to the Sea the voice of the Craft assuring me if my trust was in Almighty God, I might assume the duties of the otfice· and enter upon Its patl]s without fear or danger. In that faith' and ~ustained by that trust. I· have tried, my Brethren, to walk through the year and to the end.

The Grand Master reports the· past year as one of the most prosperous in. the history of the Grand Lodge, not only in the great number of members received, but also in that the financial condition is better than ever befor~ recorded. MASONIC CLUBS. The Grand Master reports that the several Masonic Clubs in the principal cities of Georgia a:r;e doing splendid work in the dissemination of Masonic "light and information", also in the promotion of good fellowship, and incidentally, in aiding to give proper direction to civiC' affairs. He commends their work in high terms. iJ

MASONIC HOME. The Grand Master reports the Masonic Home in excellent condition in every respect, and that the endowment fund, begun a few years since, has reached the sum of $123,000.00. The goal to be attained °is one half million, and we are satisfied that Georgia Masonry will prove equal to the task. The question of the care of the aged and infirm was discussed by the Grand Master, who referred to the report of the committee, to be submitted later. When the report of the committee was

Appendix.

[Sept.

presented, it was moved i that the same' committee be continued, and the matter laid over for' the year; the motion prevailed, and a second motion that a committee of three be appointed in connection with the first committee, to cDnsider the question of pensioning the aged and needy also prevailed. We consider' this latter suggestion as eminently wise. NEW LODGES. Five new lodges were created during the year. DECISIONS. The Grand Master reports over two-hundred letters of inquiry, all of which he ,considered carefully, ~nd answered, .in most. cases by referring to the Masonic Code. He reports sixteen decisions, as such, all of which seem in accordance with Masonic law and usage. VISITATIONS. The Grand Master reports many visitations, Dfficial and otherwis~, and recites the interesting fact that, upon -invitation, he preached a number of Masonic sermons in diffe.rent cities and towns, and that the attendance at all these services was e?,cellent. CORNER STONES. Six' corner stories were laid by the Grand Master during the year with Masonic cer~monies; in full form. MASONIC SERV1CE ASSOCIATION This AssDciation has the hearty endorsement and co-operation of the Grand Master and the Grand Lodge of Georgia, and it is an interesting fact that this state gave the first endorsement to the proposed institution by wire in 1918. GEORGE WASHINGTON MEMORI~ ASSOCIATION. The Grand Master attended the annual meeting of this Associ8,tion of whtch Georgia was one of the first, and has continued one of the strongest supporters, and speaks in high terms of its plans and prospects. The Grand Master concludes this very able' address with a beautiful paragraph, which we quote: "I stood within what was once the glorIous cathedral of Verdun. Now its stately arches were wrecked aild ruined, its massive roof broken and fallen. Its solemn aisle.~, where once the worshippers with reverential step approached its holy altars, were filled with crumbled stone, debris and wreckage. What once were' its magnificent stained glass windows were now but gaping wound..~ of Hunnish hate and fury. Its altars' and statuary broken, defiled -and ruined.

1921.]

Appendix.

Suddenly I stood before an altar figure strangely unmarked, marvelously unbroken. It stood in the perfect symmetry and/ spotle3S whiteness as the artist had carved it from the marble. Attracted' by its beauty I stopped to see what it" s:rmbolized. It was the figure of the Angel of Righteousness overcoming the Angel of Darkness who lay prostrate at his feet, his spear driven through the writhing body. It seemed to me in this strange place amid this ruin with all the evidences of a world's bitterness and hate that it spoke a prophecy of the future. And, thanking God, I said: 'After all, after all,. righteousness shall prevail and God shall reign.' And thu~: my Brethren, shall tomorrow be."

FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE. Our good Brother, Raymund Daniel, presents a splendid report, which is a well established custom of his-from which' report we would be glad to quote various items, but 路for our limitations in 'space. He is kind to Missouri, noting the more important facts in connection with the history of the year, and he is especially kind to the co~respondent, who appreciates his goodness in large measure. May his shadow never grow less. In this connection, we much regret not to have incorporated Georgia in our report last year. The explanation is, that we dId not receive the Georgia Annual in time to do so.

The Grand Lodge was cordially welcomed to'the city by the' Worshipful Master of Oriental Lodge No. ~O and various courtesies were offered by him and others, to\ all of which a happy response was made by the Junior Grand Warden, Geo. M. Scott. ANNUAL ADDRESS. This impresses us very favorably, being concise and well arranged-opening pleasantly-indul8ing in sentiment. to !)mall extent and presenting only the most salient facts 'Connected with the administration; He wisely avoids that wearisome recital of details which mars so many annual' addresses. . We append one ,paragraph: To many of us these Annual Communications appeal in the nature or 11 reunion, where friendships are renewed, mrengthened and perpetuated, resulting In ties of love and esteem that shall las-t as long as life itself, and I trust that those of you who are here for the first time will be inspired by this sentiment, that you will feel that you are not in strange or unfamiliar surroundings, and that you will participate without hesitation in the activities and deliberations or the session, ever bearing in mind that as those or us who have been longer in service pass op, the destinies of the Grand Lodge wUl fall upon your shoulderg, and it iSi for' you to commence now to prepare yourselves to assume those responsiblliUes that mean so much to our revered fraternity.

NECROLOGY. The G:ranll Master respectfully and reverently refers to the death of nineteen Past Grand Masters in different jurisdictions and with sympathetic utterance refers the matter to the Committe on Necrology, for extended report. This is quite different from the usual manner of presenting this subject and we cordially commend it. DISPENSATIONS. . A Dispensation was granted for the creation of one new Lodge, . and several for the ordinary minor purposes, and we are glad to note 'that that many were refused. As a rule we have found that every refusal for special Dispensation is in the right direction. DECISIONS. The Grand Master presents six decisions, five of which will meet with general approval but we are compelled to differ with our most Worshipful Brother as to the following: Question: When the Grand TJodge session occurs on the regular meeting 'night of a constituent lodge, and the Master is attending Grand Lodge, is it proper for the lodge in charge. of the Senior Warder to hold It meeting? Answer: A chartered lodge is competent .to convene at any time, either In regular or special meeting, so long as one 路of the three prlncipll.\ officers is ]irp.sent and in charge, wHhout regard to the meeting of Grand Lodge.

1921.]

Appendix.

Notwithstanding the fact that this decision was endorsed by the Committee on Jurisprudence, and while allowing to the.Grand Lodge of Idaho all possible liberty to regulate its own affairs, we yet hold to the opinion which we think is generally accepted, that three principal officers of every constituent Lodge are supposed to be present, either in person or by proxy at 'every meeting of the Grand Lodge and for this reason, and路 for others that might be adduced-though this should seem' sufficient, no Lodge in that Jurisdiction can hold a regUlar meeting. Of course a funer,a! constitutes an exception and in such case the oldest Past Master present may open a Lodge and. preside over the ceremony. We offer this not as a criticism but, merely as an expression of personal opinion. SMOKING IN LODGE. We cordially endorse the following: SMOKING IN LODGE.

This is a subject upon which I feel that a few observations will not be out of place and as I am' an inveterate user of the weed myself I cannot be accU6ed of prejudice against the habit. In my visitations throughout the jurisdiction I was pleased to learn that manyl of the lodges do not permit smoking during the sessions and' I am firmly of the belief that' the rule should be universal. In some of the lodges smoking is permltt~d throughout the entire session, not onl' While conducting路 regular business but during the conferring of the degrees as well: In a few instances I have seen a brother approach the altar with a cigar in his mouth, and have observed a member in the parallel lines smoking duringthe entire ceremony connected with the obligations. There are many of the brethren to whom this indulgence Is not only distressing, but .offensive, and we shOUld take their comfort and pleasure /lnto cOWlideration, and it certainly detracts from the impressiveness, digni\y and solemnity of the degree work, and I often wonder what the candidate, imbued as he is at the time of his reception with the high moral tone of the order, thinks of this practice. I have the same reverence for Masonry that I have for the church and believe that we should conduct ourselves with just as much deco'rum and self-control In the lodge room as we would in a place of worship. ' I trust you will ponder these few well meant observations in the fraternal sp,irit in which they are spoken and that you will use your individua~ influences for the discontinuance of a practice that is, to say the least, of Questionable propriety.

VISITATIONS. The Grand Master reports ,an achievement which is only possible in comparatively small jurisdictions,~he visited everyone of the constitutent Lodges, involving thereby many wearisome miles of travel, besides the time and. expense, connected therewith. We approve the comment which we append herewith:

Appendix.

[Sept.

I am constrained to the belief that my visitations have resulted In no little benefit to the individual lodges. The coming of the Grand Master is to them an important event and is looked forward to with great interest and plea&l.nt anticipation. Every arrangement for his comfort and convenience is perfected and the brief sojourn made as pleasant as circumstilnces wIll permit. The benefits derived from these visits are j'n the nature. of record attendances, the mingling together of the brethren in closer fellowship, and the increase in the enthusiasm of the individ~al member for lodge and lodge work, all of which militates to the strengthening of the influence of the fraternity not only in the local community but throughout路 the jurisdiction as well.

CHARITY. 'Dhe Orpha? Fund held by this Grand Lodge amounts to almost $100,000.00, which is a splendid sh<>wing considering the size of the jurisdiction. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENOE. This report is from the worthy pen of our Bro. Geo. E. Knepper which rarely fails to record anyth'ing not worthy of respectful notice. It covers 128 pages in a concise review ~f the Proceeding of 66 Grand Lodges. He accords to Missouri respectful consideration, although commenting on the Decisions as practically unnecessary and suggests that the ti~e bas come to abridge this part of the Grand Master's work. He compliments the Correspondent by quoting at length from the introduction to last year's Report,'for which thanks.

. Appendix.

At 9: 30, pr€ceding the meeting of the grand lodge, a musical programme was rendered by the boys' and girls'band from Illinois Masonic Orphans' Home at LaGr~nge. It was greatly enjoyed by all. Rev. Bro. Rufus A. White, the right worshipful grand chaplain, led the devotions, after which the Grand Marshal, with 9-rand Stewards, retired and r~turned with the flag, and presented it to the Grand Master who placed it in the grand East while' the brethren sang "America." THE ADDRESS OF THE GRAND MASTER does not occupy more than sixteen pages, but it is complete in its detail, and embodies things which have come within his purview in a business-like manner. He makes tender reference to the passing of three prominent members of the Grand Lodge. MASONIC HOME. Speaking of this, the Grand Master says: The general statement is that the Homes at SuUlvan and LaGrange are in excellent condition. The excessive cost of all the eSBentials of lifa makes it pretty difficult tll finance them. Of course no one will object to the expenditure of all that is neclll5Sary to secure the comfort and happiness of the children and those at Sullivan. It is very difficult to anticipate the financial requirements and the Board is sometimes at a lOSB to know how to meet conditions as they arise.

REFLECTING ON MASONRY. Under this head the Grand Master has the following to say: From different points in the state. complaints have come to me regarding outside organi7-ations drawing their members exclusively from the Masonic fraternity. By connecting the' word "Mason" or "Masonic" with their activltiCii impression was left upon the public that these organizations were Ilart of the Masonic institution. In advertising public demonstrations so much of the circus and cheap show variety was given as to bring ridicule and reproach upon Masonry. Having their stunts and shows in Masonic temples' cast odium upon the Craft. It became necessary to call attention of Masons to this condition. Consequently under date of November 8, 1919, I sent a letter to each lodge and ordered It to be read at three separate stated meetings. At the same time I took this up with Jesse K. Seeright at Pittsburgh, Pa., Grand Monarch of the Grotto of the United States. Very promptly he replied deploring the cause of complaint. ·He says, "I know from the tone of your letter that you had ample .cause to Bend out the letter." Following this on December 3<l, Grand Monarch Seeright issued an edict to all Grottoes forbidding the actions about which complaint was made. I especially appreciate the prompt action and proper spirit shown by the Grand l\Ionarchand am convinced that local organizations 'were ignorant of what they d~ .

MASONIC SERVICE ASSOCIATION. The Grand Master makes the following recommendation, which was adopted: It will 'be recalled that the Grand Lodge IMt year authorized the Grand Master to appoint a committee to investigate the Masonic Service Aflsociation and report at this meeting. Accordingly I' appointed PMt Grand Masters Leroy A. Goddard, Owen Scott and 'Alexander H. Bell and requested them to attend the conference held at Cedar Rapids, Iowa, November il, 12 and 13, 1919. Brethren Scott and Bell were present, but Bro. Goddard was unable to go. Each reported to me separa,tely. The committee was unanimous in reoommending tliat this Grand Lodge refrain from becoming a member. It was the feeling that it was the opening wedge to a general Grand Lodge. If not, it had no other visible function. Each Grand Lodge- in CMe of great eme~gencies can act more speedily and effectively without waiting for the machinery of the Service Association to get in motion. The expense would be large. A per capita tax of 5 cents is provilAed for in the law of the Service Association. This would amount to some $10,000 each year for Illinois. lfor these reasons I recommend that Illinois, with a nmber of other Grand Lodges, do not become a member of the Ma,sonic Service AS80clation of the United States.

FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE. The Report on Correspondence is from the well trained pen of M. W. Brother Delmar D. Darrah, P. G. M., who crowds much information into the limited space at his disposal. From his "introduction" we quote the following:: From the numerous proceedings which have been reviewed the idea is gained that Masonic Homes in' nearly ever locality have been hampered because of lack of funds with which to carryon their work. An examination of the various pro'ceedings shows that in many cas. this 'subject has received attention and that various means have beEm devised for increasing the revenues of Grand Lodges in order that the Homes may be sustained and their great work carried forward. In this connection it should not be forgotten that if the Craft increasQS in mem.bership there will come a ~reater demand upon it for charitable assistance and that suitable revenues must be provided if this work is to be carried for\yard to a successful termination. Because it was possible to opera.te our Masonic charities on a basis of 50 cents per capita. six or seven years ago is no argument that the same thing 'Can be done now. All of Freemasonry is facing the serious problem of providing revenue to take care of the helpless and indigent and an institution which is as strong and vigorous a& the Masonic fraternity shouid not hesitate nor quibble over the matter of raising additional funds for charitable purposes.

, ,Brother Darrah reviews the proceedings of some sixty Grand Lodges, a.mong which Missouri for 1919 is included, and given generous treatment. Note--<Since our "Review" was written we learn of the "pass-, ing" of our good friend and brother, I.saac Cutter, Grand Secretary for so many years. Peace to his memory!

The Most Worshipful 0rand Lodge of the Ancient and Honourable Fraternity "of Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Indiana convened in annual meeting in ,the Grand Lodge Hall of the Masonic Temple' in the city of Indianapolis, at 10 o'clock a. m. Tuesday, the 24th day of May, A. D. 1921, A. L. 5921, being the fourth Tuesday in May' of .the one hundred fourth year of the Grand Lodge. There were present the representatives of 537 of the 553 chartered Lodges, the mimes of whom appear in the report of the Committee on Credentials.

J. Ambrose Dunkel, Grand Chaplain, declared. ft ready for the transaction of business. GRAND MASTER'S ADDRESS. 'The Grand Master's Address is an ~interesting and comprehensive document of some forty pages, dwelling'upon the pertinent matters of the Grand Jurisdiction which have engaged his attention during the year. The Grand Master, in his introduction says: Our Order has grown rapidly during the past few years, and there has been a tendency to lose sight of the' ancient landmarl\S and customs; and innovatifJns have been introduced int@ some of the lodg~ that are foreign to the tenets of the institution. Unless these tendenci~ are haIted abruptly, the high standards of the Fratocnity are menaced, and 'I have not hesitated to adopt such measures a8 1 have found necessary to eradicate them.

Our Order is founded upon hig,Q ideals, and these ideals must be exemplified in our lodges, if the dignity and character of the Order are to be preserved.

CALVIN W. PRATHER. The' Grand Master refers, in a paragraph of exquisite tenderness, to -the great loss sustained by the death of their late Grand Secretary,-Calvin W. Prather; and no onB who has ever been fortunate enough to "know" that good man will fail to recognize the truth of every word uttered by the Grand Master respecting him. Not only Indiana, but universal Freemasonry is 'bereaved in his "Home-going". The Grand Master refers to the responsibility placed upon him through the death of Brother Prater ,in that it ,became hus duty to appoint a successor. His choice was M. W. Brother William H. Sy.rintz, Past Grand. Master, and the Grand Lodge confirmed the choice by electing Brother Swintz to that office. R. W. BRO. CHAS. R. J. GLOVER. The Grand Master reports the pleasure he had in entertaining R. IW. Brother Charles R. J. Glover, Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge of South Australia, who was on tour through our country in the spring of la~t year.

GEORGE WASHINGTON MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION. The Grand Master is sympathetic to thi~ movement, and the Grand Lodge has taken steps to raise the quota asked from that . Jurisdiction. MASONIC HOME. Speaking of this the Grand Master says: Within the short span of a few years~ our Masonic Home has grown from an inspiration into an accompllsbJ.Ilent, the perfection of which, even now, it is difflcuIt for us to comprehend. In this Home, we have a wonderful and practical exemplification of the principles of our Order, and a demonstration of the practical application of our obligations. We have provided adequately and generously for our aged brethren and their widows, and are carrlng for the spiritual and mental, as wen as the physical development of our children. Through the generosity of our membership, we have been able to provide every comfort and even many luxuries for those who live in the Home. And it would be duftlcult to find a more contented and ~atisfied group of aged people, ora family of happier or healthier children. than will be found in our Home. The aft'airs of the Home, during' the years of its existence. have been admirably administered by the Board of Directors, under the personal supervision of Past Grand Master Olin E. Holloway, Chairman of the Board.

A ROYAL GIFT. A large committee from the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite was invited to occupy the stage. Bro. Edward J. Scoonover, Thrice Potent Master of Adon1ram Lodge of Perfection, A. A. S. R. of the Valley of Indianapolis, presented the committee and introduced Bro. Will J. Dobyns, chairman of the Rite Memorial Committe who addressed the Grand Lodge as follows: To

W. Grand Master and Brethren of the M. W. Grand Lodge of IndIana:

It is with a peculiar feeling of prIde' and happiness that we come to you

today to formally present to you a completed unit of the Indiana Masonic Home at Franklin-1'he Scottish RIte' Memorial. It Is our purpose that this buIldIng shall be a monument, whIch shall tell in language of artistIc beauty of the achIevements of our Masonic Brethren who gave theIr service and their llves for our country, and that it shall, at the time, brIng the bleslJings for whIch they fought, to those in" need and distress. We have striven to honour and serve, to perpetuate and admInIster, to record the past and inspire the future. _ This memorial re<lolution adopted November 11, 1920, by the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite. Valley of Indlanapolls, and from which this buIlding is the 'direct result, we now present to you, Most Worshipful Grand Master, and to the Grand Lodge of the State of Indiana, together with the building, which Is Clllmpletc in COtlstruction, thoroughly and properly equipped, elegantly furnished and ab8o"lutely free from debt, and if you are pleased to accept, It is yours in foe simple forever, W be held and administered as in your council shall seem most wise.

H is to be hQped that other jurisdictions of the Scottish Rite will emulate Indiana's example. LODGES UNDER PARTIAL SUSPENSION. The Grand Master reports -a list路 of twelve lodges under par- . tial suspension, giving details as to the cause of his action. Lack of proficiency in the work is not to be endured in this progressive jurisdiction.

WHITE SHRINE OF JERUSALEM. \ The Grand Master prohibited Bedf-ord Lodge No. 14 to permit its haH. to be used by this b~dY. DECISIONS. The Grand Master's Decisions are relative to local affairs' for the most part, with no criticism called for. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE. This report, consisting of 135 pages, is from the pen of M. W. Brother Elmer F. Gay, and - is up to his usual standard. Missouri is treated courteously in about one page, and we regret that failure to receive copy of Proceed-ings in time maGe is impossible to include Indiana in our 'last report.

In every way the Grand Secretary of this Grand Jurisdiction is to be ~ongratulated upon the veritable triumph which he year by' year accomplishes in this work. This year's volume is enhanced by a splendid steel engraving of the M. W. Grand Master, Brother Wm. A. Westfall, whi,ch is followed with a short biographical sketch of. that worthy brother by M. W. Brother Louis Block. We cannot resist the temptation to quote part of the last paragraph which says: Brother Westfall has found his haven of refuge In Masonic study and research. Not only have the history and traditions of our ancient and honorable l<"1raternity had for him an absorbing and abiding fascination, but he has been keenly interested In the development of its teachings as a workingl philosophy of life, a philoSIOphy, the faithful practice of whose great princivles he is assured will make for the peace, the enlightenment, the welfare, and the lasting happiness of the human race. To him Masonry Is not merely a matter of tradlti?n, a history of the past, but In truth and In fa'ct a progre..~ve science, a great force working In the living present, and prophesying yet vaster Issues for the_ future. He haa precious little use for the merely mechanical Mason~ he who rotates through the ritual like a spinning top asleep. For to him Masonry's ritual is but a means to an end, and that end the fulfillment of her great mlBsion among men. His capacity for clear and deep thinking, his pleasing personality, his warm resonant voice and graceful delivery, and above all his true-hearted earnest devotion to our cause have created a great demand among the brethren for his services as . a Masonic speaker; and the Craft always gather both pleasure and profit from his utteTances. He can no more resist serving in Masonry's cause than the lily can keep from turning her faee to the sun, and we look for great things from him . in路 the future.

SEVENTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL COMMUNICATION. The Seventy-seventh Annual Communication of the' Grand Lodge of Iowa assembled in the City of Fort Dodge, Iowa, on Tuesday, June 8th, 1920, the Grand Master, M. W. Brother William A. Westfall, with' the assistan8e of his officers, opening in Ample Form. Prayer by the Grand Chaplain, Rev. E. G. Williams.

ADDRESS OF THE GRAND MASTER. The Grand Master's Address occupies less than thirty pages, and isa 'tlocument of clear,concise. statement of the facts ~mumer路 ated. Quoting

~rom

the introduction the Grand Master says:

It is one hour past high twelve, and it is time for us to awaken from路 our

lethargy and sleep of security, and note too signs of the times aa they appi'8.r in the trend of the world's atfairs. If Masonry is to continue to be a teacher and leader of the world in its march toward a higher civilization among the nations of the路 world; if it is to continue to be the guardian and preserver of those principlQB of justice and human liberty given us by our ancestors; if we are to be the conservator of ,American liberty, schools, and homes, and exert any great influence upon the life and character of the brethren and the people of the particular community in which we live, we must do more than wear our Masonry in the lapel of our coats. The time Is n,ear at hand, if not at our very door, when the ignorant and vicious, the selfulh and the avaricious, with a heart and mind full of pre~udice against the government, will find a fruitful field of labor, and. if they are finally successful in their efforts, we will find the separation of the church and state next to impossible, and the teachings of the ~'outh of this great land, the honor, respect, and love of the glorious heritage bequeathed us by our Masonic ancestors, entirely out of order. Let 118 then discharge our full duty as Master Masons, because by SQ doing we will be actually discharging in harmony our full duty as American citizens.

NECROLOGY. \ Speaking of the "Fraternal Dead" the Grand Master calls attention to the passing of M. W. Brother Henry M. Rothert, the oldest Past Grand Master of Iowa; R. W. Brother W. F. Fidlar, Past Grand Senior Warden, and a prominent citizen and Freemason in Iowa for more than fifty years; and Brother ehas. D. Becker, Grand Custodian, closing the paragraph with th.ese words: There is a legend in Grecian that when it became known that the in obedience to a decree of the gods, him in her grief and anguish to answered :

mythology, as told in the tragedy of Ion, King of Argos must lay down his young life she whom he loved most dearly pleaded with tell her if they should meet again. He

DECISIONS. The Grand Master says: It would seem from the numbe~ of qUeStlOtis submitted to me路 for declsi~n that the omce of Grand Master is really the court of appeals of our order. Hundreds of questions of law, procedure and business policy have been answered to the best of my ability, but I will detail those only' which seem to me to be of special Interest to the Craft."

The Grand Master renders a number of decesions, which were approved by the Grand Lodge at a later stage of its proceedings. MASONIC SERVIGE A,SSOCIATION. Mention -is made of this" and of the Emergent Communication of the Grand Lodge in connection with the Cedar Rapids meeting of the Association. GRAND LODGE LIBRARY. Of this the Grand Master says: On the brow of the hill in the beautiful city of Cedar Rapids rests the gold mine of knowledge of Iowa M,asoDrY. Here it is, that many a weary brother, sick, faint at heart, and bewildered by the V'aried and exacting experiences of human life, finds rest and refreshment. Here,. the brother seeking for the knowledge of truth and light is guided, as 'straight as the arrow flies, to the only living and right principle of thought and action between man and man, and more particularly the thought and action between Mll8Ons. the Brotherhood of Man and the Fatherhood of God. What a pity it is that we do not use and appreciate this gold mine-the Grand Lodge Library. Too many of us are content with life, particularly while chasing materialism day by dag, but as sure as the sun rises in the heavens, just so sure is each and eV'ery one of us, at some time, face to face with the real crisis in life, and then, and perhaps not until then, will these truths of life, as found in the Library, be forced upon us. Happily the use of the Library is increasing. The past year has seen more books called for, and more lodges asking for the traveling library. To the Grand Librarian, Brother Newton R. Parvin, this Grand Lodge owes a deep debt of gratitude, because through his emcient guidance of its destiny it is proving its worth. Brethren, it Is yours to use-use it.

CORNER STONES LAID. The Grand Master laid four corner stones during his year of office: one for the New Masonic Temple at Storm Lake; one for Buena Vista College, located at Storm Lake; one for the New Com: munity Building in Lake City; and one for a new School Building in Sac City, Iowa. The Grand Master also dedicated the new Temple at路 Storm L~ke, assisted by the Deputy Grand' Master and other Grand Officers.

Appendix. CHARITY.

Speaking of this the Grand Master says: Charity is the greatest word in Masonic literature. It carries a greater import than any other one of the cardinal virtues, and as we practice this noble 路art of Masonic duty our hearts are touched and our purse strings loosened. ~wa is to be congratulated on the method of extending aid to the afflicted and the unfortunate, because same is performed in a manner which fails to speak of alms, and is so rendered that it is truly but assistance. And how proud we are, and how we appreciate the service of the members of the Board of Trustees of the Grand Charity Fund. To them beloag the gl!>ry and the pleasure of th~ service, and to us, the pleasure of knowing that it is well and faithfully done. Need I congratulate the Grand I.odge on passing the legislation giving to the Charity Fund $10.00 from each initiatory fee, for it was the greatest legislation ever ,passed by this Grand Lodge. Let that remain as It is for a few years and the Grand Charity Fund will be large enough to allow the' 'l'rWltees to extend their activities into broader fields of education of the Mll60nic orphan, WhIch for years has been practically denied because of the lack of funds. May this noble work continue forever:

ADDRESS. Brother George A. Dibble, who had been invited to address the Grand Lodge, selected as his subject "The Working Tools of a Mason or Imperialism of Moral Law" and delivered a masterly oration which was highly appreciated by the brethren. RETURNS. The returns from the lodges snow continued growth and evident prosperity. The numerical g-ain in membership for the year is 4,874. Truly a good showing. PEACE CELEBRATION IN LONDON. The report of Iowa's delegation to London is given by Past Grand Master George L. Schoonover, and a worthy production of the pen of that distinguished brother.

FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE. This report covers two hundred and fifty pages, and is from_ the fruitful pen of M. W.Brother Louis Block. His foreword is entitled "Ameri'canism". In his closing paragraph he says: In/ it3 last analysis "Amerioonism" means nothing more than the enactment !\nd establishment of Masonic precepts. and principles into puman government. We of the Craft know full well what part the leaders of our order played in laying the foundation of our government. We know that without the lives and needs of our Masonic forefathers our great Colonial history would be as naught. It wall they who brought into being among the governments of the world one tn whIch

they who thought and fought, who lived and died, that they might bring forth on this continent "a new nati,on conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal." It ,Is we who have a right to speak out and addressing the great ship of stato' say unto her as can no others"We know what Master i~id thy keel, What workman wrought thy ribs of steel, Who made each mast and sail and rope; In what a forge and what a heat Were shaped the anchors of thy hope," From the night of the Boston Tea Party to the closing hours of the Constitutional Convention the handiwork of our Masonic Masters is everywhere evident, and there is not a sto'ne in the foundation of our country but has indelibly caryed into it the mark of some one of the Craft. In building this great human intitution they wrought fo~ our welfare and happiness, and transmitted it to us with the confident assurance that we would be faithful to so sacred a trust. Hallowed by the lives and deeds of such Masons as Washington and 路Lafayette, of Frankldn and Jefferson, of Warren and Revere, there has been handed down to !IS this sacred Ark of the Covenant of Human :I!'rcedom, and we were ingrate and traitor indeed, did we not highly resolve that we will keep watch and ward o\'er its welfare with our very lives, to the: end that "government of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish fri)m the earth."

In his reviews of the various Grand Lodges Brother Block gives generous treatment to Missouri in seven pages, quoting from Grand Master Bingham's address, from M. W. Brother Briggs' Report on Necrology, from Grand Orator Wm. F. Woodruff's address, and from the, Correspondent's "introduction". We always appreciate his courteous and brotherly comments.

ALTOGETHER RIGHT. The Grand Master stated that the Grand Secretary and Finance Committee had been greatly annoyed and embarrassed by the failure of members, present in the city, to attend the meetings of the Grand Lodge, and assist in the transaction' of its business. He stated that, .in accord'ance with tl:}e ruling of the last Grand Lodge, no one would be paid either ni'ileage or per diem, who did not faithfully 'attend upon every meeting, nor to anyone until the close of the meeting, unless excused by the Grand' Master for good reasons. (We commend this arrangement as eminently wise.)ILLNESS OF GRAND SIDCRETARY. The Grand Master announced that owing to the serious, and continued illness of the Grand Secretary, M. W. Albert K. Wilson, he had appointed M. W. Alex. A. Sharp, in January, 'to attend to the duties of the office, and that he would continue to serve during the present session. The list of Grand Representatives was called and they were welcomed by the M. W. Grand Master, after which REVEREND C. H. BRIGGS, D. D., Past Grand Master of Missouri, was introduced by a special committee, welcomed by the Grand Master, received with Grand Honors, and escorted to a seat in th'e East., ' Lat~r in the session, M. W. Brother Briggs made an impressive address on the subject of the Masonic Service Association which was received with appreciation and a vote of thanks tendered him. The whole subject was then referred to the incoming administration, to be reported on at the next Annual Communication. ANNUAL ADDRESS. This covers 24 pages and is in excellent form. paragraph from the exordium of the Grand Master:

We quote a

Brethren: The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons of Kansas is now open in Ample. Form in our Sixty-fifth Annual ComlIlunication, That you are welcome and that it is a genuine pleasure to me to extend greeCilgs to you, go without saying. What you are interested to know, now, is what your Grand Master has done during the past year, what he proposes for the future and what of iinterest to the Craft generally has occurred. It has beoo a somewhat busy year, fraught with bitter and sweet, the latter predominating, with activity," and I believe with some success. I have been in constant touch with the various parts of the jurisdiction dally, by use of the usual means of communkation, and personally as much as possible. To take on, so to' speak, the work of the Grand Master's office in addition to one's usual

work, in the activities neceasary to s.upport one'S/ self and family, under existing conditions, Imperatively demands over-time, and It is therefore fortunate that your Grand Master's energies and activities are exerted in Speculative Masonry only. I have enjoyed it, I have maintained rugged health and I am 6ure that out of the joys and sorrows, the successes and failures, the smiles and tears of Ule past year, my vision of路 Masonry, of life and of man, has been broadened, deepened and enlarged generally, and my prayer is to that God whom We as 'Masons reverence and serve, and whom- we thank for all good things, that the past year may 路have been of some benefit to the Craft in this jurisdiction.

LAYING CORNER STONES. The Grand Master reports the laying of five corner stones with Masonic ceremonies, four for High School BUildings, and one for the Presbyterian Church at Maryville. The Grand Master reports the路 dedication of two- Masonic Temples in person. DISPENSATIONS. The Grand Master granted a number of Special Dispensations,. mostof them for waiving regular time, and in 101 ~ases he charged a fee of $5.00 each. We heartily approve this arrangement of the Grand Lodge of Kansas, and think that such fee should be collected in every case, unless the circumstances are of peculiar character. GRAND LECTURERS. The Grand Master highly commends the faithful and efficient labors of the two Grand Lecturers, W. Bros. Harvey O. Davis, and Stanford M. Smart, and states that in the use of the District meetings and otherwise, they have greatly advanced the efficiency and general interests of the Craft in that jurisdiction.. He recommende the continuance of the system. , DEATH OF W. ROBERT TREAT PAYNE. The Grand Master comments with peculiar sadness upon the untimely death of W. Brother Robert Treat Payne, who was killed in an automobile accident on October 17th. The Grand Master expresses his appreciation of th'e gr.eat zeal and efficiency of this brother, in promoting the 路interests of the order, .and laments his having ben called into the unseen. SHAVER MONITOR. We {Iuote the follo'Ying: -Our monitor, compiled by our late beloved Brother M. W. William H. Shaver, is no doubt the most ,complete book of this character ever published and should be

in the hands of every member of the Craft. To Masons it should be next to the Bible, from which much of the text taken. It is a superb asosembly of classics and furnishes food for thought at every page. This book should be placed in the hands of every Master Mason when raised, and I urge every lodge to dlJ so. I was particularly Impresscd some years ago by the appeal that this be done, made by our late beloved Brother M. W. Charles H. Chandler and 11 has been on my mind and conscience ever since. I have discussed it with some of my predccessors and with our Grand Secretary only to have my conviction mor(J strongly fixed. Recent inquiry discloses the fact that 170 10dges in this jurisdiction have such, a rule. We of course present each brother with an apron, and it sh0U;ld be such an apron as is worthy of the things which 11 represents. .As the apron is presented in the degree of Entered Apprentice, with a most beautiful lecture, the monitor should be likewise presented in the degree of Master Mason, that the new brother may read, may commit, may have for his vcry own the beautiful lectures he has heard.

ACACIA FRATERNITY. The Grand Master speaks of this institution in terms of high commendation, and states that he had granted the Fraternity at Lawrence, Kansas, the privilege of negotiating the sale of bonds among the lodges, for the purpose of raising funds for their home. THE FALLEN. The Grand Master announces that seven hundred and eleven Brethren of that jurisdiction had died during the year, and their names were referred in kindly terms to the Committee o~ Necrology. A WISE UTTERANCE. The Grand Master expresses great sorrow that he has been compelled during the year to refuse all requests for the reception of candidates who were physically disabled, in the Masonic interpretation of that' term, and says that he did this because the law of the Grand Lodge did not permit him to do otherwise. We are in hearty accord with the Grand Master, in his wise and kindly discussion of this subject, and commend his strength in not allowing himself to be moved by a mere sentiment from the Ancient Usage and weil understood law of our Order. MAiSONIC HOME. The Grand Master states with pride every lodge in the jurisdiction had met its obligation in supplying funds for the .rebuilding of the Home, destroyed by fire in 1916. He states that there are now in the Home 111 inmates, not counting those that have died

during the year, or are absent on 路leave. The Grand Master suggests the necessity of an increased revenue for the support of this :- worthy institution. DANCING IN THE TEMPLE. The Grand Master takes strong ground with reference to dancing in the lower room of the Masonic Temple, and states in effect that in an entire building dedi芦ated to the purposes of Freemasonry, dancing, or a.ny class of entertainment for wJiJ.ieh a fee is charged is unlawful. REPORT ON CORRESPONDENCE. Our good brother Albert K. Wilson, presents a report covering 114 pages, which is of such high quality, that the appreciative must regret its brevity. His introduction and conclusion present us with three pages of Masonic knowledge and real wisdom, con-_ creted upon various !Datters of special interest to the Craft, and we would be glad to publish them entire but for our limitations of space. The Gorre~pondent is kind and courteous with reference to Missouri, but regrets that we, like his own jurisdiction, have adopted the 'practice' of giving certificates of transfer, prior to the granting of dimits. He refers to our trouble on that subject, and states that the Grand Secretary of Kansas had seventy-five cases to untangle last year, because of this custom.

THE ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTIETH ANNUAL COMMUNICATION. The One Hundred and Twentieth Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of Kentucky, Free and Aecepted Masons, was held in the Masonic Temple, Louisville; Ky., comm~ncing Tuesday, October 19, 1920, and was opened in Ample Form on the Master Mason's degree at 10 o'dock A. M. T.HE ADDRESS OF THE GRAND MASTER is a business-like document of some eighteen pages, and deals mostly with matters pertaining to the Grand Jurisdiction. Among the matters of outstanding interest reported is the sale of the Masonic Theatre, which for a number of years has be'en a thing of the past. Another item of peculiar interest is the report problem to the Grand Lodge. This problem is now, however, a 01 progress in the Million Dollar Committee. This Committee has been at work for some time raising a fund for enlarging the Masonic Home, and at the sessioD/ of the Grand Lodge it was an nounced that some $900,000.00 is now available. This report enabled the Grand Lodge to proceed to the practical part of the work by creating the neceseary committee to dispose of the present location, and obtain another. and in other directions get ready for the' wonderful enterprise 'that is in mind. When Qompleted the Grand Jurisdiction of Kentucky will possess one of the. most complete and up-~o-date "Homes" in the world. VISITATIONS.

Concerning dispensations to confer degrees on more than five candidates at one time the Grand Master makes the following recommendation which Was adopted by the Grand Lodge: Durin~ my administration I have granted so many dispensations to confer the Entered ApprentIce degree on more than five candidates at one time that I deem it economy as well as advisable to omit from this address the names of the lodges to which granted and the dates. I have granted 162 during the year and they are on file in the office of the Grand Secretary. I have givcn-,this matter serious thought and I am tully persuaded that this regulation should be repealed and 60 recommend.

WHAT ABOUT THIS? The Grand Master says: THE ST. JOHN'S DAY LEAGUE. Because of the splendid contributions made by it for the Masonic Widows and Orphans' Home, I deem it proper to call attention to the work ot the St. John's Dal' League. Organized more than thirty-five years ago by Captain H. B. Grant and Judge- R. H. Thompson and men of that character, and.l being now composed or three representatives from each of the Masonic Bodies of Jell'erson County, it has become a potent factor in raisin~ money tor the benefit, of the Masonic Widows and Orphans' Home. Since its organization, it has contributed to our Homo about $200,000, and this year has turned over as tho proceeds of its annual picnic, $16,000.

Surely a splendid result. The Grand Master speaks at length on the Masonic Service Association. and from his address we quote the following: MASONIC SERVICE ASSOCIATION. A little over one year ago, by action of the Grand Lodge, we became a member of the Masonic Service Association of the United States. The membership of this association is composed of such of the Grand Lodges of the United States as vote to ,become members and the meetings of the association are held annually. So far as the plan and purpose of said association are con'cerned, they seem to be the same as advocated in the various subordinate lodges ot our state. I have given this matter some thought and have reached the conclusion that this association will eventually ebcroach uJjon the powe1'8 and duties of the subordinate lodgffi and the Grand Lodges under its jurisdiction and centralize those powe1'8 and duties within itself. The principal business of said association Is to be conducted by an Executive 'Commission composed of ten member~ and a Chairman elected annually by the association; and the association has alread1 approved a recommendation to the ell'ect, "that the Executive Commission have the broadest possible latitude and discretion in carrying out ,the purposes of thili association." I find, furthermore, that the expense of conducting the affairs of this association is quite large and is rapidly becoming greater. During the present year, we have paid to this association as our pro rata part of this expense $1,000, and said association now contemplates raising the dues to a figure that will make the annual dues of the Grand Lodie of Kentucky about $3,000 per year. I am unable to see how the Grand Lodge of Kentucky will receive anything like an adequate return on' this amount of mone" from its membership in this' a580-

elation, and especially at this time do I feel that this money should be expended in the erection of the pr<lposcd new Home for our widows and orphans. Seyeral Grand Lodges have refused to become members ot this association, including Indiana and illinois, and the State of Washington has recently served notice of Its Intention' t& withdraw. It ~ provided in the Constitution of said association that "any member ot Grand Lodge Jurisdiction of this association may withdraw on ninety days written notice. given by registered mall to the Chairman of the Executive Commission, and upon fulfillment <If all its assumed obligations to the assnelation." I recommend that our Grand Secretary be directed to give such notice and we withdraw from said Masonic Service Association.

TRE VICE-PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. The Grand TAdge was .honored with a visit from Hon. Thos. R. Marshall, Vice-President of the' United States, and' a prominent Mason of the Grand Jurisdiction of Indiana. Bro. Marshall made a short but very appropriate address. JOIlN L. WHEAT. Some thirty-five years ago, when the Grand Lodge of Missouri was "thinking" about the establishment of a Masonic Home, your present Fraternal Correspondent was Chairman of a Special Com路 mittee charged with the responsibility of visiting the city of Louisville and inspecting the "Home" there operated by our Kentucky 'brethren. On that occasion it was my privilege to meet and' become aequainted' with Brother John L. Wheat, then in full possession of his outstanding gifts and qualities. Today it i8 my mournful duty to report his Uhome~going". Full of years, and good works, and surroUt;tded by thousands of friends, -Our brother has passed within the ven. Herewith the Superintendent of the "Home" has to say of him: Bro. John L. Wheat, the Vice-President and Benlor Director ot our Home, IlM8ed away at his residence, 1152 South Second street, this city, on Wednesday evening, December 11, 1919. He had been quite feeble for seyeral weeks, therefore his death was not a shock to his many friends. Bro. Wheat was born at Otisville, Orange County, New York; on' September 14. '1833. He carne to Louisville when a young man, and soon atter the organization of Louisville Lodge No. 400, he became a member of thafJ lodge by amUation on -demit from Painted Post Lodge No. ItT, at Corning, N'. 'Y. He received the denees In that lodge in the autumn of 1854, and thus he had been a Mason tor 65 years. He was llresent at the ft1'8t meeting called In the interest of the movement toward the establishment of a Ma~lOnlc Widows and Orphans' Home and Infirmary, which meeting was held on the evenhig of November 25, 18~6, In the Grand Secretary's omee, tn the south end of the old Masonic Temple, which was located at Fourth and lefferson streets. He was I!-amed as one of the incorporators In the act of the Leg1slature aJ)J)roved by Gonrnor Thomas. E. Bramlette on January 15, 1861, and a few days later he was chosen as Director and had thus faithfully served as such without IntermlMlon until the day of his death. He was the only BunlYor of the tn-

corporators. DarIng thIs lonr period of f1.fty-two years there was never any diminution of his zeal and acUvity In seektni to advance the Interests of the Home and the happiness and welfare of all connected with it. For many years he served as Vice-President of the Board, and he. would have been advancd to the Presidency, but on account of Impaired hearing he would n;t 'accept that oMce. Untll just a tew weeks before his death the DIrectors of our Home seldoni convened in their semi-monthly meetings that Bro. Wheat was not present, relardless of Inclement weather and! various claims upon his tIme otherwise, to aId by wise counsel and studied forethought In all the b\lSiness of the Board, whIch his long experience and unabated interest had 80 well f1.tted him to render. Our Home haa never had In the past, nor will it Elver have In the future, A more devoted frIend than Bro. John L. Wheat. When quite a young man he gave his heart to God,and for more than seventy years he had been a faIthful member of the Methodist Church. He always took great Interest in everything pertaIning to the church and gave liberally of hiB time and means to the spreading or the g09Pel. He waS always active In all the undertakings that tend to make this a better world to live In, and hia advice was always kindly and good. He believed that this Is Indeed "the land of the free and the home of the brave." He had been a voter for 65 yars, and never failed to perform that duty to his country of helpinr to select its omcera. He voted for Abraham Lincoln twice for President of the United States. On the 17th day of May, 1919, he and his good wife celebrated the 60th annIversary of their marriage. Bro. Wheat has gone on before, but his work shall Uve after hIm.

The year's work in Kentucky has ,been, characterized' by great prosperity,-a net gain of nearly seven thousand being recorded. The lodges seem to be prospering individually, and the strides taken by the Grand Lodge in the matter of its Masonie Homes will ,furnish ;Inspiration to the whole Country. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE.

This is as it should be, since it is well that the faces of the Grand Masters should become familiar to their brethren of other jurisdictio:ra.s. ANNUAL COMMUNICATION. The One Hundred and '.Fenth Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of Louisiana was convened in the Scottish路 Rite Oathedral, in the City of New Orleans, on Monday evening, February 14th, 1921, at 3: 30 o'clock, and was opened on the Master's Degree in Ample. Form _by the Grand Master, M. W. Brother Wynne G. Rogers, following prayer by the Grand Chaplain. One hundred and ninety-eiglit lodges responded to roll call, after which the Grand Master delivered his ANNUAL ADDRESS. After a few preliminary remarks, the Grand Master continued as follows: The World's economy is now, has. ever been, and will ever continue to be In a state of change or evolution. The term "civilization" is denominative and descriptive of man's progress through the ages. It is not a fixed or stable condition. It varies and changes with the march of the year. The barbarism ot to-day was the civilizatitlln of yesterday, and the eivilization ot to-day will be the barbarism of to-morrow. History records these changes and variationa; and History, which is "philosophy teaching by example" and "by warning" repeats itself. The dark clouds of war which enveloped the World for five long weary and sulfering years have been dissipated and dispersed by the rising Sun of Righteousness, but that Sun has been arre8ted in ills course and has not yet reached its Meridian Height to be the beauty and gl~ry of the new day ot freedom, justice and toleration. Here is Masonry's opportunity; here lies QUr duty. It is for us to rise to the occasion. It Is a condition which confronts us and. not a theory. Let us meet it as stich. Let us be something more than a degree mill. Deeds and not words; accomplishment and not R$ertion will establish and fix our status as an institution for service. The need of the hour is Education-American Education-Masonic Education, synonymous and Interchangeable terIl18. We as Masons must bend our energies to Influence publlo opinion, not only by precept but by example. Public opinion is the force that rules the oountry. With a warped and jaundiced public opinion the country is diseased and in danger; with a correct and rlghteoull public opinion the country is healthy and safe. Pubt'ic opinion is but the crystalliza.tion of individual opinion. We must, 路therefore, work upon the individual, and in aid of that work the lndlvldual Mason must tll.oroughly learn the principles, the tenets and lessons which are taught him in the lodge room. and then, he must go out into the highways and by-ways of the community and exemplify the pract)ce of these principles In his dealings and actions with his fellow-men. Every Masonic ,Lodge must become the center of good infiuences

FRENCH MASONRY. The Grand Lodge of Louisiana, always tolerant, and always ready to move along progressive lines, "strikes a snag" iIi its Foreign. Relations, and the following resolution of the Committee on Foreign Correspondehce was unanimously adopted: Whereas: The Grand Orient of France has in operation one Lodge in the City of New York and one in San Francisco, California, the existence of which was not brought to the notice of this Grand Lodge when fraternal relations were . resumed at the session {lfl 1918, and Whereas: The .Grand Orient of France has refused to recall the charters of these lodges, basing its right to maintain them upo~ Article 45 of their Constitution, which disclaims any right or intention to constitute lodges in Foreign Jurisdictions where a regular Masonic, power exists and with which it is In fraternal relations; while at the same tiine and in the same article they deny the right to any Masonic power to invade their territory In France or French dependencies, and Wherea.s, Our present relations with the Grand路 Orient of }'rance under the above conditions have already subjected us to adverse criticism and endangers our present cordial relations with the other Grand Lodges of the United States,' who so promptly came to our assistance when our territory was Invaded during the -year 181m, therefore be it Resolved: That our relations with the Grand Orient of France be suspended until such time as that Body removes the cause for this action and respects the doctrine of' geographical jurisdiction as interpreted by the Grand Lodges of the' United States.

STATE OF THE ORDER. Referring to the large amount of work demanded of the lodges in the conferring of degrees, and t~e impossibility of a~y real instruction being given in the regular meetings, the Grand Master presents a suggestion compiled with the assistance of Brother Grover 0'. H~ekaby, ,superintendent of the Louisiana State School for the Deaf, proposing the prep;lration and publishing of a Masonic Handb~ok, covering all fundamental points of Masonic Law and Usage, said book to be purchased by the lodges and a copy given to everyone. raised to the degree of路 Master Mason. The suggestion strikes us as eminently worthy, and the Com路 mittee on State of the Ord~r most hea~tily approve tlie gene.ral seope and purpose of the recommendation. MASONIC SERVICE ASSOCIATION. Louisiana was strongly represented at the annual meeting of this body in St. Louis, and also at the divisional meeting at

Montgomery, Ala., and the Grand Master speaks in high terms of the personn-el of those in attendance, and the general interest of the meetings. We quote him as follows: I feel it my duty at this time to commend to you the worl{ of this valuable adjunct to the Masonic arm, presenting as it does a convenient medium for concerted action without having any of the undesirable features of a "general lcgislative body. Without a question of doubt the mere fact that the different (irand Lodge Executive Officers meet each year and 'make and maintain close personal friendships and relations is well worth the financial cost and when in addition the advantage to our membership and to the cause in general is considered, we might safely say that this is something that cannot be measurr.d ill terms of cash.

CONGRATULATIONS. The following telegram was read: Si!as B. Adams, Grand Master of Masons: Your brethren of California extend fraternal f!llicitations on this your One Hundredth Anniversary. 'Ve pray you may continue the good work of upholding the arch of civil and religious liherty and teaching that law and order are necessa rr to the perpetuit.\: of ~ovel'llment and thf happiness of the human family. JOlIN WmCHER, Grand SeGretary.

GRAND MASTER'S ADDRESS. This is a brief document of nine pages, setting forth the con路 dition of the Craft in the State of Maine, in which the Grand Master takes occasion to call attention to the fact that the Grand .Jurisdiction has rounded out one hundred years of Masonic activity. In speaking of the growth in membership, which has been un路 preceden ted, the Grand Maste~ says that the rejections, amounting to 20 per cent of the petitions received, indi,cate that careful scrutiny was exercised by the investigating committees, and that conscientious discrimination was manifest in the ballot. NECROLOGY. During the year six of the permanent members of the Grand Lodge have passed to their eternal reward. They are Herbert Harris, Past Senior Grand Warden; James H. Witherell, Past Senior Grand War路den; Manley G. Trask, Past Senior Grand Warden; George W. McClain, Clifford J. Pattee, and Augustus Bailey, Past Junior Grand Wardens. Of these distinguished brethren the Grand Master says: The genial personalities of these brethren through years of close association at our annual communications have deeply impre..<;sed themsclves upon our mcmories, and I have arranged in each case for a suitable Memorial to be presented at this session for your app\,oval and inclusinn in the proceedings of this Communication.

DISPENSATIONS. The Grand Master granted twenty-seven dispensations during the year. Sixteen of these were to receive and act upon petitions in less than the constitutional time, and three to work three degrees upon 路one candidate in one evening. Almost. without exception these dispensations were to enable the Lodge to talw action upon the petifion of a man, well known to the brethren, who was in the service o~ his country, and wit.h a limited time at his disposal.

Referring to these the Grand Master says: I have repeatedly where the convenience tioner should await the personal convenience as

gone on record as being unwilling to grant a. waiver of the petitioner was the controlling factor. The peticonvenience of the lodge, rather than to regard his own of primary importance.

The obligations involved by gaining membership in our Fraternity are very real and seriou~, and the acquisition of the degrees of Freemasonry can never properly be regarded as a casual oceurrence or an event of trifting importance. every step of the proceedings must he in the regula tion order and form, to the end that the serious dignity of our profession be perpetually upheld,

USE OF LODGE FUNDS. The Grand Master says: Several lodges have asked whether or 110t it had a right to use jig funds to furnish free ill1d expensive banquets and entertainments, 'as for ,instance on a ladies' night. Also as to whether or not a lodge could legally vote a donation from its funds for the Hed Cross or other public benevolent or philanthropic object.<;. I answered these with the following quotation from the Digest: "Lodge funds are held路 in trust for defraying the necessary expenses of the lodge and for charitaule purposes, and they canoot properly be used for any other purpose."

CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION. On the afternoon of the second day's session the Grand Lodge celebrated its Hundredth anniversary, and after the reading of a congratulatory telegram from the ,M. W. Grand Master of New York, the special program began. The spacious main hall of the Temple was filled ,to capacity with brehren from all over the State and distinguished guestA from other Grand Jurisdictions, among whom were Most Worshipful' Arther D.

of the Grand Lodge; and also of the loss sustained by the death of Rt. Wor. Brother James Henderson, Past Deputy Grand Master, who also was present,at the beginning of the Grand Lodge as such. Did 'Our space permit we should like to quote extensively from the Grand Master's address, but we must 'Content ourselves with the following paragraph: It is a matter of personal regret that our Lodges, as Masonic Institutions, cannot or dD not take a larger share in matters vital to the life of the community. It is not enough to say that Masons arc inspired by the teachings of the order to go out into the world and there become the missionaries of truth. This they must do, but they must do it intelligently. I think I realize in some adequate measure the immense amount of good rendered communities by individual Masons. The brethren responsbile for such a service would, in my judgment; have made the same effort as lion-Masons. The great good comcg usually by acting in concert. The Lodge is the divinely appointed centre from which light emanates. 'I'he teachings of Freemasonry must be so full of burning fervor as to create a desire 011 the part of every candidate to express these teachings in artion. The value of any Lodge is measured by the character of its enlightenment, by the force which impels to service, by the desire created to make this carthly home a real home, and the day a Lodge fails to realize these ends is the day when the fateful, "Ichabod," shall be written across Its history. Masons, as members of the community should, in their conduct and conversation, create uQd maintain that healthy public opinion. that assures respect to our churches, and' sanctit~' to our religion; that upholds government, and gives dignity to the enforcement of the law; that sustains our various industries. and promotes honesty and fair dealing in all our financial relations; that fosters and upholds the community loyalty路 and steadfastness, and that brings peace and security to our homes. and peace and joy to our heart.<!. The conception that the prosperit.y of a Longe is' measured by_ its large membership alld Its wealth is WrOI'I!. That lodge is prosp('l'OUS and great that commands the affection of its membel's, displays spiritual, rather than material wealth, and Is held in high ('steem: b~' the community of which it is a part. The conferring of de/nees is a necessit路y. and it is hig-hly desirable that every degree should be properly presented, but a ].'ldge abrogates some of its. responsibilities and neglect.~ it.<! finest opportunitie~ when it devotes its entire time and energy to degree work, and falls to unite Its membership into one great homogeneous, spiritual workin~ whole. This is a time when every Freemason should be willing to pledge his life, his honor. and his wealth, in the sacred causes of justice, of humanity and of democracy. Now is our opport.unity for demonstrating that this institution is a H.vlng, jrrowing thing, worthy of the respect and admiration of every full grown man. Fr('ema~onry would have long since died and been forgotten had it not been able to meet the every-day human need; to reach out and to touch the yearnings of the human heart, and to smooth the rough pathways of life aloni which men and women walk and toil and rejoice and suffer.

FRENCH MASONRY. This subject, which has occupied the attention of so many Grand Lodges during recent years, was "thrashed out" on the floor of the Grand Lodge, and largely through the influence of a letter from Rev. J,oseph Fort Newton, Past Grand Chaplain of the Grand Lodge 'Of Iowa, recognition was granted to all of the Grand Bodies in France.' The resolutions are of unusual interest and we print them herewith for the information of our brethren in Missouri: Resolved: That whereas Freemasonry Is essentially a Brotherhood of Mankind and purports and ought to be universal. '. And whereas our Order has as the three grand principles on which It路 i!'l founded, Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth and therefore being both practical ItS. well as speculative in its philosophy has always been 'and must ever be a defender of Personal Freedom of 'l'hought and Belief. And whereas Freemasonry has constantly declared each Grand .lurisdiction free and sovereilw and has relied for It solidarity not primarily upon ruloo and laws but on Brotherhood and I,ove of Truth and as flowing therefrom similarIty of purpose as distinguished' from mere uniformity of Ritual. And whereas in the development of Ma4'>onry In foreign jurisdictions dilferences of social and political adTance, of laws. of religious creeds, of language and litera ture and of other phases of Life, have inevitably affected the expression ot Freemasonry in many lands. And Whereas such results due to the causes mentioned have especially marked the development of Masonry in Latin Countries, Including the Republic of France. And whereas the recent years of world-wide conflict have centered the thoughts of men upon the greatness of and necessity of applying the Spirit of Brotherhood throughout the Nations of the earth and to that end end bave seemed to diminish the importance of differences of statement of intellectual beliefs 80 long as the heart qualities and purposes and the spirit ot Tolerance, Charity, Goodwill and Helpfulness prevail. And whereas it is now suggested that / fraternal relationship should be established betwe<>:n this Grand Lodg"e and the Masonry In the land in which so many of our Brethren sleep their last long sleep. ANd whereas the two largest路 bodies of Masons in France are In fraternal relationship with one another and the other though a very small grand body Is in fraternal relationship with the Grand Lodge of England. And whereas it Is desirable to carry the said路 suggestion Into etTect and to state some of the chief considerations which have been deemed of Importance In connection thereWith. . Now therefore .be is resolved by the Grand Lodge of Manitoba, -A. F. & A. X., lls follows: (1) This Grand Lodge acknOWledges its full and fixed adherence to the principle of the supremacy of each Grand Body within Its own jurisdiction over Its own members and its sovereign right to make and revise from time to

time its own constitution, laws, ceremonials and ritual. (2) This Grand Lodge further declares the undoubted riiht of everT Sov.ereign jurisdiction to withhold, withdraw, give or continue fraternal relatioM with any other Grand Jurisdiction from time to time or without cause given. (3) This Grand Lodge believes the furtherance of Mll60nic intercourse and exchange of ideas throughout the Masonic world is essential in the interests ot humanity and Freema..'fonry. (4) The Grand Lodge of Manitoba because of the specific purpose of this resolution reaffirms its full and fixed adherence to a belief In a Supreme Belni as a necesilary qualification of a Freemason within this Grand Jurisdiction In all respects as" now required. (~) Recognizing the Sovereign Independence of the Grand Orient of France the Grand Lodge of :France and the Independent and Regular National Grand Lodge of France and of the French Colonies and their right to state their own requirements of their own members within their jurisdictions, and believing that the Masons of ~'rance represent Within the Republic of France the spirit of Masonry in the Inner qualities of Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth fundamental In all Masonry and paying 'deep tribute to their noble sacrifices, their heroism, patience, temperance, fortitude and love of Justice as exempl,ified during the recent war whereby they gave proof of a "~'alth" in the "Spiritual beyond all mere materialism and high evidence of an abiding Faith in the Great Architect of the Universe interpreted in action and sen'ice in blood more than in stated creed, and being profoundly convinced ,that the time is rive for the furtherance of the spirit of universal Masonry and the enlargement of the bounds of fraternal relations, this Grand Lodge authorizes the Most Worshipful The Grand Master acting with and on the advice of the Committee on Foreign Relations and Correspondence as to the manner of carrying out this authorization to take steps forthwith towards and to consummate the est.ablishment of Fraternal Relations with each of the three Grand Masonic Bodies of France. (6) Further in ~onnectlon with this resolution this Grand Body declares that it is led to this decision ,by a recognition that while it would delight in a return of all Frendl Freemasonry to a formal reassertion of Faith in the G. A.. O. T. U. freed of course from dogmatic forms still there now would be dimcultY in arriving at a generally acceptable statement of ~'aith in a land whose past has seen such revolutions of thought and has come through so much of religioU6 controversY, and by a conviction that mere atheism is certainly not taught by Freemasonry and is findin~ hlss and less. place In the hearts of men and in the ~peeulative thought of the world, and by a belief that Masonry in France found a firm footing in its fundamental principles and that its members now living are the Inh,eritors of a form or forms of Masonry from a past generation that was moved by considerations which though criticized by -the outside !\fa-cronic world s~emed to the then m.embership, sufficient, but into which we cannot easily io-day enter, and' by t.he further fact that out of our common struggles, in the 1I11.II\e of Freedom and Justice we hi! ve eome to }J:l ve It high f'egard for th~ fraternal and Masonic character of those who to-day exemplify its teachings In the Republic of 'France.

Owing to the comparatively small size of the Jurisdidion of Maryland, and the facility of CommunicaJti9n, the Grand Lodge usually meets and concludes its labors in the evening, and especially is this the case with the Semi-Annual Communication. S:EMII-ANNUAL ADDRESS. The address of the Grand Master was brief, covering only some four pages, /dwelling chiefly upon. the very great increase in memo 'bership' in the various Masoni'C Bodies in that Jurisdiction. 'Ow

ing to the necessity for increased accommodations, the Grand Master stated that an addHional story to the Masonic Temple was now under construction, but as this would not satisfy the increas- ~ ing demand, other lots, immediately adjoining the Temple had been purchased at a cost of $250,000.00, on which other buildings would be erecte~ in the future. It was deemed best to delay this work, on account of the great cost of material and labor. GEORGE WkSHINGTON MEMORIAL A'SSOCIATION. The Grand Master attended the meeting of this Association at Alexandria, Va., and stated that on the basis of the per capita tax of $1.00 upon the Masonic Membership of the United StatesMaryland having paid some $13,000.00-would be expected to raise $13,000.00 more in order to meet its quota. This he proposed to raise by appeals to the 'various lodges. MAiSONIC SERVICE ASSOCIATION. The Grand Master stated that a conference of the South Atlantic Division .of this Association would be held at Raleigh, N. C., on the 31st instant, over which he would preside as chairman. He asked permission to name a delegation to accompany. him, which we suppose was granted, as nothing further appears in the record. CONCLUSION. The Grand Master condudes his address with this worthy paragraph: Growth in strength and numbers, In prosperity and power, Inevitably results In stronger opposition from our enemies. Ma..'fOnry Is being attacked on all sldE;8 llnd we welcome the opposition when we see the sources from which the same springs. The founders of our count;y builded along Masonk lines and it Is the duty and the privilege of every. Mason to see that our country depart not from the principles of our forefathers. In order to insure the perpetuation of these principleS', Brother Masons, we must be constantly on guard. We should endeavor in every manner to inculcate true Americanism and this can only be accomplished by the education of the masses. Let them understand that true Xmerlcanlsm and true Masonry stand for freedom of thought, freedom of action and freedom ,of conscience. Bring these 16&<;ons home to them and our country wl11 be safe. It Is our duty as Masons and as loyal citizens, for Masqnry has always taught loyalty to country, that we should support and 路malntain our' public school system, for the American public school is the bulwark of freedom. Support, therefore. every measure that will strengthen our public ~hools and oppose and throttle every Insidious source of opposition, and this, my brethren, means a continued fight for the principles In which we all so thoroughly and Implicitly believe.

ANNUAL COMMUNICATION. The One Hundred and Thirty-Fourth Annual Communi'cation of the Grand Lodge of Maryland. was held November the 16th, 1920, at 8 o'clock, P. M. in the Masonic Temple in the city of Baltimore. The opening ceremonies were as usual, formal and elaborate, interspersed with music of a high character. ,ANNUAL ADDRESS. The address opens with several striking paragraphs, whicb recall to mind the fact that the former incumbent held the office of Grand Master for more than thirty years. The Grand Master so well and wisely staJtes his position, that it douotless' met with commendation from all. We quote as follows: Tonight closes the second year of m~ tenure of office or Grand Master. As stated upon the night of my election a year ago, it Is my earne..'lt hope that J may he permitted to establish a precedent re..'ltricting the thne for whIch a Grand Master nta'y serve in Maryland to ' two years. Nothing ha,s occurred which', in my opinion, would ~ustify a departure from thIs intention on my part. J Jeel such a course to be In the best interests of our Grand Lodge. It , requires at' least six months of tho first term for the presiding omcer. of this Grand Body to become the Master of the situation, and if a oneyear term were adopted the Chief Executive would go out of omco at the v~ry time when he has reached his greatest emclency and when' he is in the position to render the ~reatest gervice to the Craft. A longer term than two years would, in my judgment, enable the Grand Master to build an invincible machine were he' so inclined, and, furthermore, a longer tenure in office would deter thll ambitious and active brother from seeking preferment in this Grand Body. Hence J do not feel that there is any real justification for a longer term of office than two years, and particularly In the present case when I fecI that the Grand Lodge has practIcally determined upon, as my successor. a brother so ca.pable and we'll equipped to fill the office in an efficient and able manner,

MASONIC SERV:ICE ASSOGIATION. The Grand Master, with others, attended the Divisional meetings of this Association In Raleigh, N. C., and also in St. Louis, Mo:, and is earnest and even enthusiastic as to the scope of this work, and the go'od to be aCGomplished thereby. The Grand Master referred to the presence of M. W. George L. Schoonover,. Past Grand Master of Iowa, and President of the Mason'ic Service Associati'on, who afiterward delivered an earnest and'interesting ,address, setting forth the purpose of the Association, and tts need of co-operation from all.

After addresses by a number of distinguished visitors, tb,e G.rand Lodge was called to refreshment until the following evening, when the reports of committees w.ere heard and the Grand Lodge closed in due form. GORRIDSPONDENCE REPORT. Our good Brother, the Reverend Dr. Branch, gives us a worthy report on Correspondence, covering 113 pages, of which Missouri is accorded two. He compliments Missouri on being the only Grand Lodge making provision for French orphans, and speaks in high terms of the address of Grand Orator Woodruff. INCIDENTAL. We think many will admire the following poem from Kipling, which was repeated by one of the speakers: L'ENVOI.

prominent lodges in the Grand Jurisdiction, and these give details which are of great interest,-some of even more than national interest. .' / During the year no less than eighteen SPECIAL COMMUNICATIONS. of the Grand Lodge were held, which, in addition to the regular Quarterly and the Stated Annual, and the Celebration of the Feast of St. John the E'vangelist-being the One Hundred and EightySeventh, make up a record of strenuous service for the Grand Master ane! his officers. .. The Proceedings are prefa~ed with a splendid steel engraving of the M. W. Grand Master, Arthur D. Prince, whose tenure of otnce. is extended for the ,coming year, and whose service to the Craft is highly a]}praised by his brethren. GRAND MAJSTEJR'S ADDRESSES. In these, delivered at the several Quarterly Com~unications, and at the Annual Communication, there is the evidence of a thorough, business-like grasp of the details of his office, and of lofty Masonic sentiment and spirit. Tender respect is offered to the fraternal dead, and mention is made of the various "burning questions" which confront Freemasonry at this period of reconstruction. MAJSONIC SEcRECY. The Grand Master calls attention to a matter of great importance in the following language: â&#x20AC;˘ ~

There was recently sent to the office of the Grand Master the notice of a cerMLin lodge containing the names of a large number of applicants who were to be balloted upon. This notice was picked out of the desk basket of a certain Boston lawyer who was not a Mason; Was indeed a member of a. sectarian order whose unfriendliness to Masonry is of common report. Whether it came there by design or accidental carelessness cannot be said. \ but it at once emphasizes the importance of keeping, our lodge nptices from the eyes of th03e who have no right to see them. Our members, and especially the younger Masons. should be admonished to guard the secrecy of our notices. It seems, trite to dw.ell upon what are well known Masonic laws. but it is a fact that in recent years they have been honored almost more in the breach than the observance. Masonic matters are freely talked over on the street; in t.he trolley cars, and in the home. News of rejection is often heard of by the man affected and from the lips of non-Ma.gons before he receives his official notice. Not many years ago I was present at a trial in another jurisdiction of a Mason on a chari6 of revealing the action of the lodge with respect to the ballot on candidatC6. He was found guilty and the penalty of Indefinite suspension was impDsed.

I trust that it will not be necessary to take severe measures in Massachusetts, but these llarticular Masonic oft"enses are growing more numerous and are dan~er ous "to the welfare of the Craft.

. LARGE LODGE PROBLEM. This is still claiming the attention of the Grand Lodge, and a committee, of which M. W. Brother Melvin M. Johnson, Past Grand Master, is Chairman. is continuing its labors, hop,ing to find some solution that will relieve the situation. The Masonic Service Association, and the George Washin'gtoll National Memorjal Assooiation each receive sympathetic cooperation. _ :~ i-: FOREIGN RETJATIONS, The Grand Master, at the June Quarterly Communication, appointed a Committee on Foreign Grand Lodges. consisting of M, W. Melvin M. Johnson. R. W. Rosooe Pound, and R. W. Fredk. W. Hamilton, prefacing his appointment by the following pertinent observations: Several requests have recently been received for recognition by Grand Lodges in foreign countries. The condition of our relations with foreil:m Freemasonry Is very unsatisfactory. While some foreign Grand Lodge8 have been offlcially recognized, others' have been refused recognition, and in many cases no action has been taken. . This causes great uncertainty and confusion when the Grand Lodge or partic'ular lodge..~ are called upon to decide upon' the admission of visitors holding diplomas from Grand T..odges outside the United States, In some cases it .is Impossible 'to pass, with certainty, upon the validity of these credentials, and In many case.<> it hag been customary to accept credentials from lodges or Grand I,odgcs holding under Supreme Councils of Scottish. Rite Masonry providing such ('ouncils wpre recogni7.ed by the Supreme Council of the Northern Masonic Jurisdiction of the United States: In some cases. however, this does not appear to be a' safe rule. H is greatly to be desired that measures should be taken to secure ultimately, if not. (m~ediatelY, an authoritative list of Grand y,odges which have been or should be recognized as regular by this Grand Lodge.

'Our citizens. more than ever before, are traveling in foreign countries and our relations in the future are bound to become more intimate and hopefully more pleasant with those countrie.<>, therefore it is for us to develop the harmony and universality of Masonry all over the world as far ::IS we. can without departing from our estabHshed landmark of monot.heism.

I The four regular toasts were honored; viz, To the memory. of the Holy Saints John; To the memory of our Illustrious Brother George Washington; To the memQry of our departed Brethren; and To all the Fraternity, wheresoever dispersed. upon the face of the earth. Addresses were delivered by the Most Worshipful Grand Master, Arthur D. Prince; Hon. Channing H. Cox, Govel'1lor of Massachusetts; Rev. Dudley H. Ferrell; and M. W. Brother Chas. J.

Lodge and insisting upon prompt attendance and careful attention, that they might be able to report to their Lodges at home, every item of interest connected with the meeting of the Grand Lodge. The total attendance includ'ing Grand Officers, visitors, and regular me~bers was 676. ANNUAL ADDRESS. We insertÂˇ with appreciation the opening remarks of. Grand Master Charles B. Eddy: ~rcthren

of the Grand Lod~e: We have assembled today in the Seventh-Sixth Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of Michigan and this meeting will bring to a close one of the most remarkable year.., in Masonic effort that we have ever experienced. As your Grand 1\iaster I have devoted my entire time to the duties of the dIke and have considered myself very fortunate in being so situated by not" haVing any business cares to worry me, and while the year has been a very strenuous one, I have enjoyed it beyond measure. It has been a year never to be forgotten. I have tried to serve faithfully, conscientiously and impartially, and how well I hllve succeeded will be for you to determine. Have tried not to make any mistakes, but perhaps have. Have tried to be just and fair, but you know that human kind is weak. Have endeavored to do for Michigan Masonry the right thing at all times; have given the be8t there Is in me, and if I have even been successful in a small measure, I shall be satisfied. By giving my entire time I shall have no relÂŁrets later In not having had the opportunity to serve better. No one has ever had a greater opportunity than I, and in rendering to you an account of my stewa rdship for the past year, if tltere are those who are not In accord with what I have said or done in the past, or may yet say, I trust that you will at least give. me credit for being sincere and zealous for the welfare of Masonry, and not attribute it to any ulterior or selfish motive. The best friend is the one with whom we can disagree ~and yet be friends; one does not really need a frienÂŤ when all is sailing along smoothly" but the real friend is the one who ,\O1ll stick by you when you might be wrong or when you are perhaps mistaken, ;nd so it is that' today I come before you in that apirit of true friendship, to outline what has taken place during the past year, and then to Quietly take my place as a "has been" and an "accident" in Grand Lodge.

The Grand Master reports the usual 'prosperity of the past year, and states that 11,410 were raised to the sublime degree ot Master Mason, which is undoubtedly a record. NEW LODGES. Thirteen DispensaUon for the forming' of New Lodges were granted during the year. Also a number of Dispensations for minor purposes. It is perhaps worthy of note that the Grand Master granted 34 Dis'pensations for the conferring of Degrees in less than the usual t l1e limit for each of which a fee of $5.00 was charged. As we do Hot find to the contrary we suppose these Dispensations were approved by the .Grand Lodge, but in general we regret to see

any deviation from established Landmark or Usage as when the door is once opened, much may enter to the detrimen(of our great. Order. CRAFTMEN'~ CLUB. The Grand Master speaks in terms of high commendation of this order among the students in the University of Michigan; which, as we .understand without the authority of a regular Lodge gives it:路; time and strength to the perfection of the Ritual of Masonry and the exemplification of its work. This is something out of th~ ordinary and as explained by the Grand Master may be a good thing.

COMMITTEES OJ;~ EXAMINATION. The Grand Master refers to the "Questionnaire" system in use by some Lodges in the investigation of conditions and recommends it as worthy of ad-option by all Lodges. The "Questionnaire" con路 tains 28 queries which each candidate is expected to answer in writing. This is, also, something unusual-and maybe have a good effect. We see no reason to object. REPORT ON CORRESPONDENCE. This covers 297 ages in a most. excellent review of the Pro路 ceedings of 62 Grand Lodges. We would be glad to record various items in this review at length but that splWe forbids. We could and would say many nice things with reference to Bro. Winsor and his work, but. that he is so very kind and complimentary to Missouri and the correspondent whose introduction,-he copies almost in full-that it might be considered a quid pro quo which however, would be altogether unjust to us. We touch our hat to our good Bro., with the old time wish; "May his shadow never grow less".

ary 19, 1921, in the city of St. Paul. -Two hundred and thirty-eight lodges were represented,~(out of two hundred and seventy-two), all the Grand Officers being present. The opening 'ceremonies were as usual with prayer by the Grand Chaplain, after whi.chthe Grand Master presented his ANNUAL ADDRESS. This covers forty-eight pages; the Grand Master indulges in occasional sentiment, but dwells' principally on the acts and' inciden.ts of his administration. PASSED INTO THE UNSEEN. The Grand Master refers in a tender and reverent spirit to the F'raternal Dead, 473 of that jurisdiction having died during the year, and makes a special mention of the death of Past Grand Master Albert Berg, who left the quarries of earth February 13, 1920, to enter upon the higher' employments of the Immortals. A Special Communication of the Grand Lodge was held to do honor to his memory. DANGERS FROM WITHOUT. The Grand Master having heard that certain classes of men, really opposed to Freemasonry and to our Ar;nerican institutions, were planning to gain admission into the Order that they might therein promulgate their vile and seditious sentiments, issued a circular to all the lodges, warning them to be' more than ever on guard, and to make the most ,careful examination,into the chara-cter and history of every petitioner, .before admitting him to membership, The Grand' Master states that he believes this caution was regarded, and that the 10d'ges hav~ ,been more than. ever careful in guarding the door of the lodge room. NEW LODGES. Seven new lodges were created by dispensation during the year. CORNER 'STONES. The Grand Master granted dispensations for the laying of two corner stones for High School buildings, and very properly refused to grant dispen.sations for the laying of corner stones for two churches, because the exercises were arranged for the Sabbath Day. (When will'Masons iearn t'hat a lodge ,cannot be opened on ' God's Holy Day, except in case of a funeral?)

MASONIC HOME. The Grand Master announces the opening of the Masonic Home on July 3, 1920, as the greatest and most interesting event in the history of Minnesota Freemasonry. The Grand Master presided in person on that occasion, and we doubt not that his address was worthy of the dignity of th~ hour. His discussion of the subject in his Annual Address is most eloquent and worthy. He cautions the brethren, however, that they have made only a beginning,..-and that contributions must be large and larger still, if the desired end iR to be attained. The Home is beginning its work in a small way, only a few inmates having been r.eceived. VISITATIONS. The Grand Master received many invitations for official visitation, and was reludantly compelled to decline somE( few. These occasions were pleasant, and, he thinks profitable. The Grand Master granted many dispensations for the usual reasons, and very wisely refused a number o~ others. DECISIONS The Grand Master made a number of decisions, none of which seem of more than local significance, but his great problem was in the matter of physical disability. He cites the fact that the legislation of the Grand Lodge has been conflicting, and in conference with the JurIsprudence Committee, wisely concluded that the only safe course was. to follow the Ancient Landmarks as nearly as possible. It is a matter of regret that so many of our Grand Lodges have yielded to a sentiment of sympathy, and many who are really ineligible under our ancient law', have been admitted to the prfvileges of the Order. THE 'WASHINGTON MEMORIAL, AND MASONIC SERVICE ASSOCIATIONS. The Grand Lodge of Minnesota is a member of both these Associations, and the Grand Master is enthusiastic in his endorsement of the work and purposes of both. FOREIGN GRAND LODGES. The Grand Master received many communications from various so-called Grand Lodges, asking recognition and co-operation 'in various projects. After a prolonged statement on the subject, he finally proposes to refer the matter of the recognition of

Foreign Grand Lodges to the Masonic Service Association, and states that the resolution he proposes to that effect, was practically adopted by路 the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts, it being understood that the Masonie Servi,ce Association would have no authority, save only to investigate and report. (Th~s

suggestion seems to us eminently wise.)

FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE. Our good Brother Irving Todd presents one of the best reports, considering its brevity, that has come to our table. He touches every point of Interest, makes no comment, as a rule, and goes straight to a conclusion. He dealt kindly with Missouri in a single page. We regret not to have included' Minnesota last Year, but the explanation Is. that we did not receive their proceedings.

It was a command to the Children of Light, that has come ringing down the ages, and strikes U~ with especia.l force and . emphMls in this age of fierce conflict. It Is a command to preach, practice, and unfold Truth, 80 that her light shall come into the hearts of all the people to the end that selfishness may be banished. and the spirit of service lIitrenched 1n the human soul.

ANNUAL COMMUNICATION. The One Hundred and Third· Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of Mississippi, was held in the city of Jackson,begiu ning labor February 22nd, 1921, at ten o'clock, A. M. The Grand Lodge was opened in Ample Form, concluding with prayer by the Grand Chaplain, which prayer was comprehensive and eloquent. ANNUAL ADDRESS. This is a most worthy document, and while its· brevity is com- . mendable, this does not, by any means, constitute its only excellence. From the opening paragraphs we select the following: The mission of Frecma~nry is one of love and enlightenment; ita aim Is the promotion of human happine.'l6 in brotherly union; the welfare and ennoblement of mankind; the mor~l improvement of its members, and to render social life more a~reeable. The same liberty and freedom thatpervadeB this country and is -inherited by ita citizens characterizes Masonry. We are passini through a period of unrest and diacontent-testini da7s for Freemasons. Socialtsm, anarchy, greed, selfishness and ignorance, parading in the name of democracy! are some of the evil forces that menace the foundAtiOll3 of Government and civil society. Every principle of Masonry, every virtue sacred to the heart of our Fellowship is bein~ sin~led out tor assault and destruction. Becauae of this fact, Masonry finds itself confronted with additional duties and tremendoUB responsibilities. A new atmosphere of brotherhood, liberty and equality must be produced. We can be the builders ot the ireat temple of democracy and the edu<:ators to Inculcate a true AmericanlBm. We must seek to do our part in makinl: civilization better than it ever was, in makini the world a fit place in which to live, .. plll.ce where the principles of man's brotherhood will find lod~ment. The needs of the present should be an Incentive to stimulate us to greater diligence in the discharge of our duty to God and our fell<¥ man, to. build industrioualy whUe strength endures, and labor to complete our work While ·tlme and opportunity is alI'orded us.

The Grand Master touches the various items ot interest with a strong hand. He alludes in reverent terms to the Fraternal Dead, and refers the list to the Committee on Necrology. He states that the Higher Educational Fund has reached a total of $100,000.00, and he suggests that the Committee on Finance and Board of Trustees jointly consider the matter, and bring in suitable recommendations. MASONIC HOME. The Grand Master discusses the condition of the Masonic Home .at some length, and speaks in high terms of the management. He also highly praises the liberality of ~he Brethren in con· tributing the sum of $30,000.00, to replace the building destroyed by fir~. He incidentally. states the fact· that all the children were rescued from the burning buUd-ing without injury.

SCHOOLS OF INSTRUCTION. The Grand Master states that the Schools of Instruction which have been held for several years, have done more to promote unity of spirit and 'uniformity of work, than all other causes 'Combined, . and that the result has been a proficiency in the ritual not sur路 passed anywhere. The Grand Master reports no Decisions. DISPENSATIONS. The Grand Master, after wise and careful consideration, granted many -dispensations for minor purposes, and with equal wisdom refused to grant others: We especially co'mmend the refusals, e~peciallY in cases where the ,sole p!1rpose was tb shorten the tin1e, so that the candidate might advance to the so-called higher degrees. The Grand Master granted dispensations fat the creation of five lodges, and personally constituted three, The Grand Master officiated in person' at laying the corner stone for the new Masonic Temple at McComb City, and .efused th~ request to lay corner stone for the Sanatorium erected by the King's Daughters of same place, for the reason that the walls were al路 ready completed. CHARTERS SURRENDERED. Four lodges surrendered their charters during the year,-the charter of one was arrested-, and after full investigation was restored, and the Worshipful Master suspended, the Senior Warden being left in charge. MASONIC SERVICE ASSOCIATION. On this subject the Grand Master thus speaks in part: We have undertaken a new work, but a great work. Masonry is just engaging more effectually in its share of the work of the world through education In Its lodges everywhere,' To my mind. the Ma.wnie Service Association means more for Masonry in Mississippi than any movement heretofore undertaken.

The Grand Master also appointed a committee, .who- later brought in a report giving a careful plan for the .carrying out of the purposes of the said Association. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE. Our good Brother Yawn presents an excellent report, covering 104 ptges, of which he accords two and one hal! to Missouri. He seems to misinterpret our remark with reference to the meti-culoua

and painstaking work of the Grand Secretary, when he should have taken it as an ex,pression of appreciation. He makes the like remark as to our Grand Secretary, and we accept it as a l compliment.. and are glad that his work should be so regarded. Aside from this "there is no suggestion of criticism as to Missouri, but Brother Yawn misunderstood with reference to our centennial. It was simply deferred for a year, and will be celebrated in St. Louis, September 20-22, 1921, and we cordially invite Brother Yawn to be with us on that oocasion. The entire report is excellent, and we would be glad to copy extensively, but for want of space. We must, however, present our readers With his selection from the report of the Obituary Committee of the Grand Lodge of North Dakota. The author is 'not given, and it is new to us: "Why bring your hero dead trom France?

THE FIFTY-SIXTH ANNUAL COMMUNICATION. was held in the City of Missoula, August 18-19, 1920, with opening ceremonies as usual. ANNUAL ADDRESS. The address of the Grand Master is comparatively brief, filling only seventeen pages, and is conventional throughout. His modesty and excellent s,pirit are easily discerned in the opening paragraphs of the address, and the comparatively brief space which he allows himself, with the dignified humility of his conclusion, add to that appreciation created by a study of his, picture. He alludes in tender and respectful terms to the Fraternal Dead, but leaves the Committee on Necrology to complete the report. WASHINGTON MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION. The Grand Master was tinable to attend the annual meeting of this Association, and appointed as his proxy, Hon. Henry L. Myers, Senator from Montana, whose report he had not yet received. , We pause to remark that Senator Myers is a native of Boonville, Miss.ouri, and his parents and family were among our special friends, hen-ce we are gratified by the position he has attained. '..

MASONIC SERVICE ASSOCIATION. Of this institution the Grand Master speaks in most commend,atory terms, and evidently expects much go~d to result therefrom. We quote him in part: The subject of the Masonic Service Association will be fully covered by your representative, M. W. Brother Ernest M. Hutchinson, but we think it would not be proper for your Grand Master to pass this Important subj.ect without a few words. We believe, as has been many times said by others, that the formation of this association marks the most telling forward step for the advancement of Masonic ideals, ever made in the history of the Craft. \ You will be informed that at the meeting in Cedar Rapidg, Iowa, last November, the Consti.tution was definitely and finally adopted, its plan and scope of activl,Ues was determined, and a new organization of the Executive Commission was effected, which will be in charge of its labors. You will allJ be Interested and pleased to know that our M. W. Brother Hutlchinson was elected Commissioner for the North Pacific' Division; In which Montana has been placed.

DECISIONS. The decisions reported are comparatively few, and generally merely technical in character. All were endorsed by the Jurisprudence Committee, with an explanatory comment in one or JWo cases.

MASONIC WELFARE ASSOCIATION OF NORTHERN MONTANA. (We further quote the Grand Master as follows): A. number of lodges of Northeastern Montana have formed a Welfare Association and I am indebted to Brother F. B. Gillette, the Chairman, for a letter giv.ing an outline of the proceedings of the first meeting. The purposes of the organizati{)n are educational and most certainly commendable, and follow the general lines suggested at the last meeting of the Grand Lodge in Great Falls. Such an Association is capable of much good, if its original purposes are strictly adhered to. However, there is an element of danger in all organizations of this nature. There 'may deveioll political ambitions which may destroy the usefulness of the Association from the standpoint of Masonic good, and even destroy the usefulness of Masonry in that section,l and injure it throughout the state. There may be ambitions develop to wield a controlling influence in this I Grand I.. odge, and such a condition would work untold injury to the peace a'nd harmony of the Craft, and its influence for the uplift of society. So my. brethren I would warn you that there is a grave responsibiiity resting upon you, and trust that this will serve to keep it continually before you.

MASONIC HOME; This is comparatively in its infancy, but seems to have a substantial foundation in property, and prospects for the future. It contains only a few old people at present, but it is expected to make preparation for the reception of children ip. the near future. FRENCH MASONRY. .The report of special committee against the recognition of the. Grand Lodge and Grand Orient of路 France was adopted after some discussion, but a committee was appointed to make further investigation and report at the next meeting of the Grand Lodge. FORffiIGN CORRESPONDENCE. This r-eport fmm the strong pen of our good Brother Hepner, who is never cynical or unkind, covers 118 pages, of which two pages fall to the lot of Missouri. He touches the salient points of the proceedings of ourl Grand Lodge with a skillful hand, and devotes considerable space to the Grand Correspondent, which compliment we sincerely appreciate. We take the privilege of copying his conclusion, which we are sure will be enjoyed by every thoughtful Mason. CONCLUSION. \ Again have we reached the end of our annual pilgrimage in the realms of Masonry. The ending of the World War and the problems of reconstruction period engros.s the attention of the Grand J,odges.

In the JurIsdictions where the doctrine of strIct physical perfection has prevailed there Is a strong tendency to relax the requirement.'l in favor of the boys who served faithfully the Nation in its hours of need and while in such service sustained injuries which would present a condition making it impossible to comply with the letter of the law. Homes are the loving ministrants ot the heeds of the aged, infirm, Widows and orphans of the Fraternity on a scale grander than before, and hospitals and asylums are founded for the care of the living members of the Rolls of Honour of Masonry who are in need of aid and assistanC,e; charity in its' narrowest and broadest sense is practice~' by our }<'raternity in sUntless measure. With the return of our boys from across the seas the question of recognition of French Masonic bodies is being taken up and discussed in a calmer and more dispassionate ma;nner than wa,s the r-ule and guide of our brethren in the throes of the continuance oil the ,World War. The desire for Masonic Education and Research is causing to be opened up the rich mines of legend and lor~ Which are stored up in the life'e' story of our ancient Order. The constantly floWing stream of mat.erial to our lodges suggests a wave of popular clamor on the part of each eligible wayfarer along life's turbulent shores, to become a partciipant in the pleasures to be derived from drinking of the pure waters of brotherly love. Masonry is everywhere realizing more and more its exoteric &S well as its esoteric function8. Rnd a broader vista of usefulness is un,folded i!' the enlarged t.eachings of the Craft of their civic· and economic duties, particularly as against the enemies of Masonry, and of our country's institutions.

SIXTY-FOURTH ANNUAL COMMUNICATION. The Grand Lodge of the Most Ancient and Honourable Fraternity of Free and Accepted Masons of Nebraska met in its SixtyFourth Annual Communication in the Masonic Temple at Omaha, Neb., on Tuesday, June 7th, 1921, at ten o'clock A. M., and was opened in Ample Form. LETTER FROM JUDGE W. W. KEYSOR Past Grand Master W. W. Keysor, now residing at Kirkwood, Mo., and known to so many of our Missouri brethren, was unable to attend the G.rand Lodge Session, and sent the following letter, which was responded to by hearty greetings ~rom the Grand Lodge through the medium of a telegram. Kirkwood, Missouri, June·5.th, 1921. M. W. Grand Master and Dear Brethren of the Grand Lodge, A. F. & A. M. of 'Nebraska, now. In Its Sixty-Fourth Annual Communication, In Omaha, • Nebraska. Greetings: A severe attack Of ,artpritls confines me to my home and bed and compels me to' greet you' by letter rather than by cordial handshakings and fraternal Inquiries as to your welfare. To the Grand Lodge I send hearty' con~ratulations upon its l0I!g and 8UC- . ccggful supervision ot the Craft, and expr~ the hope that the work of this Communication wlll still further add to its reputation for fidelity to the princivles and landmarks of Freemasonry. To this fidelity may be attributed the solid foundatioll8 of our institution In Nebraska, and the mazing growth of our blue lodge membership. The magnitude of this growth has induced in many thoughtful Freemasons the fear that the qualifications of candidates for the degrees w~re being laxly scrutinized. Membership in ·a blue lod/oie should be a certification of good moral character, loyal citizenship, suftlcient education to be an, intelligent reader and student, and of mental ability above the average of the adult male population of the ~risdiction. "Keep up the quality," is a common business motto which wisdom bids U3 follow in 'determining who may be admitted to membership in our blue lodges. In respect to matters Masonic, such as the origin, history, literature and purposes of our institution, it should spare no pains or expense in providing its members with means of information, and with Inspiration to make full use ot the same; but there is serious doubt whether it be a function of Freemasonry to educate and train its members after taking the degrees, in those things which are a part of a common scholll education, and which every person ought to know before he seeks the dignity and benefits o( membership in such a Fraternity a9 ours. This doubt has taken' so strong a hold on my mind that I beg leave to express it, shOUld discussion of any question make the exprC68ion pertinlnt. My dear brethren, I wish you all great happiness and benefit in this Communication of the Grand' Lodge, and a sate return to your home3, with the consciousness or duty earnestly and faithfully performed. Most fraternally and sincerely, .

GRAND MASTER'S ADDRESS. This is a brief document of some twelve pages, in which is set forth the salient features of the year's administration in clear, concise fashion. Reference is made to the loss of several distinguished brethren during the year, including two Ps,st Grand Masters, and a Past Grand Secretary. Six Dispensations for the formation of new lodges were granted, and three new lodges were constituted under Charter. Seven corner stones 'were laid, one for a Normal. School, three for new Court Houses, two for new. Churches, and one for a Hospital. DECISIONS. There have been no questions of law asked of the Grand Master during the year which could not be answered by simply referring to various section of the law, and therefore he reports that he was .happily relieved of rendering any decisions whatsoever. WEAK LODGES. The Grand Master reported having investigated a number of weak lodges, and the taking up of charters in cases where it was clearly evident that they had outlived the day of their usefulnes::;. The Grand Master speaks in commendation of the Masonic Service Association, having attended the meeting in St. Louis last November; and also reported his visit to the George Washington Memorial Association meeting. Of the latter he is impressed with its importance ,and recommends the continuation of the committee. MASONIC HOMES. The Grand Master says of these: Our charities at Plattsmouth and Fremont are all that the words imply. They a re homes in the best and truest sense of the word and in addition to tha t, if one can add anything to it, are nearly all we could wish Masonic Homes to be. In other words, they arc not institutions, but placeS where. love and happiness rcign supreme and places of which every man can be proud.

!'1ASONIC HOSPITAL. The Grand Master, under this head, speaks as follows: During the ~'ea r a very distressing incident vividly to my mind the necessity of a hospital, signed lJY the heads of all Grand Masonic bodies with a large. number of lJrethren who have the heart, I decided that some definite plan should be for action at this communication.

Appendix.

[Sept.

I consider it fortunate that I was attorney for a hospital company which has just recently completed and equipped one of the finest hospitals in the West, and arrangements can be made to purchase it undeF the most favorable conditions. Bearing ,in mind that I have no financial interest in the project whalc;oever, but 'only '1I1 account of Illy intimate and accurate knowledge of the cost of the bUilding a Id equipment, I felt that it was perfectly proper to recommend this plan. Thif hospital has been in operation since last October and it is thoroughly modern and up-to-date in every possible way. We could save between $175-,000.00 and $200,000.00 in what it cost to build and equip it, and would also have the advantage of a complete staff of nurses and other employees so that we could at once begin to function. If this purchase should be made there are no commissions, to be paid and no one is making a dollar of profit in the transaction in any way whatsoever.

Later in the Session a committee was formed, and ordered to report in due time. RE,COMMENDATIONS. The Grand Master recommends that the Grand Lodge consider a system of District Deputy Grand Masters, and gives excellent reasons for his recommendation. He also presents the following: I recommend that a law be pas.<;ed forbidding a Master Mason from petitioning either the Scottish or York Hite bodies until he shall have been a l\Iaster Mason for one year and shall have passed a satisfactory examination in the M~lster Masons degree, and further that if it should be brought to the attention of the Grand, Master that the &'lid bodies are receiving petitions of Master Masons who are not so qualified, he shall have the power to declare said body dandestine.

This latter was duly considered by the Committee on Jurisprudence, and the follOWing recommendation was made which, after due debate in Grand Lodge, was adopted, with the exception that the reference to the "Shrine" was altered from five to two years: No. 1. We' recommendJ the enactment of the following sub-division of Section 148 of the Grand Lodge law: "0. To apply to any Scottish or York Rite body, or for the degrees therein, or to solicit a petition from another until after the' lapse of one ~'ear from the time said petitioner has been made a Master Mason, and shall have attended at least twelve regular meetin~s of a Ma.ster Masons lodge or lodges, and shall have complied with the provisions of Section 66 of the Grand I.odge law as to proficiency." â&#x20AC;˘ And that the following, be enacted as Bub-division "p" of Section 148 of the Grand Lodge law: "p. p'etitioning the A1'l.cient Arabic Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine before five years have elapsed since bein~ made a. Master Mason." Add to form 231, pa~e 90, Law of lfrecmusonry in Nebraska, editio'n of 1919, the following paragraph:

"I will not apply to any Scottish or York Rite body for the degrees therein until at least one year has elapsed after 1 have received the degree of a Master i\fason and shall have attended at least twelve regular meetings of a Master Masons lodge or lodges, and shall have complied with Section 6拢 of the Grand Lodge "law as to proficiency; and will not make application to the Ancient Arabic Order of NobleS of the Mystic Shrine until five years have elapsed since receiving the degree of a Master Mason."

ADDRESS OF THE GRAND MASTER. This occupies some twenty-five pages, and consists of a pres路 entation of the affairs of the Grand Lodge during the year. The closing paragraph, which we exerpt, indicates conditions as they stand in this distinguished jurisdiction: Maoonry of NbW Hampshire, as well 'as of America in general, has advanced during the p~st year by such strides as is almost inconceivabl~. In New Hampshire, in 1918, we gained in net membership 236 members; which was the l.argest on record. This past year our membership has increased by a net gain of 727, maknig our total membership 12,247. This does not include 230 rejections, which is evidence that our selections have been made with care. This, of itself, is to the credit of Masonry and I desire to again impress upon the representatives here assembled that this care must be continued. Go back to your lodges and in your report lay particular stress upon this fact of care in selection. It is quality, not quantity, that we want.

FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE. This report, from the pen of M. W. Brother Harry. M. Cheney, consists of eighty pages, and contains the reviews of the proceedings of fifty-nine Grand Lodges, some for two years. In his introduction Brother Cheney says: It is safe to say that MllsolJicaJly there has never been such It year as the' one just past. At first thought I have been frightened at our growth in nUIllbel'S, but this fear has been somewhat allayed as I have heard of the rejections. The ballot-box is being properly used, if I alii not mistaken. I only hope that, the present day popularity of Freemasonry is not a currious '01' superficial desire, but that it carries with it a well-defincd purpose to serve God and his people.

Missouri is reviewed in something more than a page, with a kindly word for the Correspondent, and a recognition of the "real job" which 6ur Rt. Wor. G!"and Lecturer has.

THE ONE HUND'RED A~D THIRTY-THIRD ANNUAL COMMU.NICATION. The Grand Lodge of the Most Ancient and Honorable Society ot Free and Aecepted Masons for the State of New Jersey met in Annual Communication at Crescent Temple, in the city of Trenton, on Wednesday and Thursday, April 21st and 22d, A. D. 1920, A. L. 5920, 'commencing Wednesday, the 21st inst.ant, at eleven o'clock A. M. The Grand Lodge was opened in Ap.1ple Form, with prayer by Right Worshipful Brother Melville E. Snyder, Grand Chaplain. THE GRAND MASTER'S ADDRESS. This succinct and concise document covers twenty-five pages, and is one of the best that it has been our privilege to review this year. Reference is made to the loss sustained through the "passing" of M. W. Brother Chits. P. Russ, M. W. Brother J. Clarence Conover, and R. W. Brother W. F. Burk. Also to others who have distinguished them~elves by conspicuous service to the Craft in New Jersey. DISCIPLINE. The Grand Master refers to a case of discipline ansmg out of ' the action of the Grand Lodge in prohibiting t.he use of Foreign Languages in the Lodge work. The case was promptly taken in hand and the action of the Grand Master in arresting the Charter \\ as unanimously confirmed by the Grand Lodge. MASONIC HOME. The Grand Master, like our Past 'Grand Master Garrell, was solicitous about the future of the Masonie Home, and one of his recommendations was like unto the one so unanimously agreed upon at our last Grand Lodge Session, vis.-that a fee (in their case of $10.00) be. required of every initiate from this time forward. The Grand Master's recommendation was adopted. The Grand Master refers to and commends the work of the Geo. Washington Memorial Association, and also that of the Masonic Service Association. PHYSICAL DEFECTS. Concerning these, the Grand Master says: D\lrill~ the year just closing I hnve received requesl" from lodges to pass upon 'Z!J, ('ases of visihle physienl defeets. I have waived 2fi2, refused 28 and

Appendix.

[Sept.

there are 7 cases pending. I wish to call the attention of this Grand Lodge to the amount of work such a number of requests of this I{ind puts upon a Grand Master, and to express the hope ·that some way will eventually be found for making most of such worl, unnecessary. Inquiry has shown me that many of our State Gmnd Lodges leave to individual lod~es the matter of passing on llIany cases of defects. It is assumed ;n such States that, since the lodges are the sole judges as to the mental and moral fitness of their candidates, they may very properly and safely be permitted to judge in the vastly less important matter of their physical qualificat.ions. l'nis seems to me reasonable, when it Is remembered that. a visible pilysieal defect, however serious, is absolutely 110 bar to being a mcmber of a lodge, but only to becoming a member; and, further, when it is remembered that nearly every defe<:t. report.ed is such as is now considered triv;·aJ. As it is now, one Grand M.aster may, und, in fact, frequently does, waive a defect. where a waiver in the same ease was refused. b.r his predecessor. I refer to this matter IIOW only in the hO[le that it may lead to such thought. as \~ ill ultimately result in a more rational way of handling this quest.ion of I'lsible physical defects.

In speaking of GENERAL CONDITIONS. the Grand Master, among other things, says: Much has been said-hy some-of the enemies of J}:Iasonry. UndoubtedlY we have many such-organiied and individual·-though t'fley are showing their inahility to do us real harm. The enemy we should most fear is the enemy in our own mnks, the man who, by his conduct, brings criticism and obloquy on our Fraternity; {lnd we must remember that all 6uch- -and it is useless to deilY that they exist- have been proposedJ for membership by two ;\1asons, investigated by three other Masons, a.nd finally admitted to membership by a clear ballot. It has been said tha t every organism carriES within itself the seeds of its own decay. This may be also true of organizations and institutions. The . germ that. may inj.ure us is no outside gErm, however violent it may' be, but one of our O\\'n mal,ing. \Ve shall live or die as we deserve to live or di~ a.nd (he world will, in the long run, ga uge us pretty accurat.ely and rate us as we des('l'\'e to De rated. Xo 1Il0rc deadly danger can menace us, now or at any other time, t.han carc!<:ssness in t.hc admiS$iOI1 of members. and ·failure ·to rid ourselve.'l. of a II who j)rove themselves unfa it.hful or unworthy.

A PLEASING INCIDENT. The Grand Master offered congratulations to M. W. Bro. Fortmeyer, who had that day reached his eighty-first birthday. Right Worshipful Brother Henry S. Haines, Grand Instructor, at the call of the Grand Master, made some appropriate remarks and presented M. W. Brother Fortmeyer with a buoquet of flowers, to which our venerable Brother replied in beautiful terms.

of brethren at the last session of the Grand I.iOdge for the restoration of the German Ritual for use in those lodgcg which had previously practiced it, respectfully report that while we realize that such re(!ue..<Jt is a natural one, yet we feel conscious that it \~'ould be unwise and inexpedient to recommend a reversal of that jUdgment which was carefully considered and adopted by an almost unanimous vote of the ,Grand Lod!-(e, and 'wa~ advocated, if not BUggested. by some of t.hose in whose behalf we are 1I0W asked to rescind it. We are of unanimous opinicn that no secret society should e~ist whose ritual procecdin~s and records are in any language but that of the country in which it is placed. and feel a regret, shllred, no doubt, by a Illaj,ority of the members of the Grand Lodge, that the abnormal condition of national affairs made this legislation appear to be directed against those of one particular nationality. 째

PEACE CELEBRATION IN LONDON. The Grand Master being unable to accept the invitation of the Grand Lodge of England to attend the Peace Celebration, commissioned M. W. Brother Austen H. McGregor, P. G. M., to go in his stead. M. W. Brother McGregor made his report to the Grand Lodge, which gives similar details as those already reported by others who were guests on that occasion. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE. This report, contained in about 88 pages, is the work of Rt. Wor. Brother Robt. A. Sherrifs, and is a model of conciseness. He reviews the proceedings of 63 Grand Lodges, some of them for two years. Missouri is kindly treated in three pages, and the work of Its Correspondent commended, for which-many thanks! We reOgret that the Proceedings of New Jersey for last year did not, for some cause or other, reach our table. 째

The report of the Grand Master may well be commended, not only for its brevity-containing only 24 pages-but also for the careful and systematic acts and incidents of the administration. It is introduced as follows Brethren of the Grand Lodge, Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons ot New Mexico: It is with pleasure that I welcome )'ou to this, the Forty-Third Annual Communication of the Grand J,odge of New Mexico. In entering upon the business which comes berore us in this Communication, we may congratulate ourselves upon the fuct that we have just closed the most successful year In our h18t01'YIlt least from the standpOint of growth and prosperity. We have experienced during the past" year a uniform condition of fraternal relations unmarred by any element ~f dissension, and fraternal courtesy has prevailed In every respect at all times. It becomes my duty to give you a report concerning the re..~ponslbllltl66 which your selection of myself 'as Grand Master has cast upon me. In this connection I shall endeavor to be as brief as possible. In accordance with our custom of long practice, we would fimt turn our thought to the memory of our Fraternal Dead, whom the Grim Reaper has called to the Supreme I,odge above. I will ask you to arise and give evidence of our rcspe~t for the departed. Many of our well-beloved brethren have .been summoned to that undiscovered country whence no traveler returns.

The Grand Master makes the usual kindly reference to the Fraternal Dead, and also announces the personnel ot' the several committees appointed by him in the beginning of the year. The Grand Master appointed a proxy to represent him at the meeting of the Washington Memorial Association, but the time had not been sufficient to receive his report. He attended the meeting of the Masonic Service Association In St. Louis, Nov. 9 to 11, 1920, and commends its purpose and work in high terms, decryin~ any and all adverse criticisms.

He made several decisions, all of which seem in a~cordance with law and existing conditions. He records many dispensations, for minor purposes, and regrets the fact that his visitations among the lodges wer~ fewer in number than he had hoped to make them, but he dwells with enthusiasm upon the fraternal courtesies received on various occasions when making official visitations. The Committee on Grand Master's Address criticized the administration mildly, repudiating permission to a lodge to receive a petition for affiliation from the Grand Lodge of France, it not being recognized by New Mexico,-and also seriously objecting to the permission given .by the Grand Master-though not reportedto .confer the degrees of Freemasonry upon a candidate who had lost a leg. The Committee, however, was courteous in the language and spirit with which it presented these and other objections. . I ~ ;;;;;,'l FORIDIGN CORRESPONDENCE. This report covers 51 pages, and is unique in character, consisting of excerpts from the proceedings of. various Grand Lodges, generally very brief in character. In the case of Missouri, nothing is given except the report of the Committee on the Masonic Service Association, together with -the substitute offer~d by Rev. C. H. Briggs, P. G. M., and the adoption of the substitute. r The Correspondent, with his Grand Lodge, is unshaken in his endorsement of the York Grand Lodge of Mexico, and also in his repudiation of French Masonry.

[Sept.

The first Special Communication, held July 9, 1919, was for the purpose of installing and investing the Grand Officers. This was done in accordance with their usual impressive form. The Grand Master made a ,brief address in which he thanked the Grand Lodge for the honor done him in his election for the sixth term as Grand Master. After referring to the fact that his term of office had been practically concurrent with the war, through the dread experi路 ences of which all had passed in spirit, if not in person,.he continues: Notwithstanding this world's calamity, the progress of Freemasonry in this jurisdiction has been without parallel, for during those five years I have signed 13,272 Master Masons' certiftcatac,. I feel the more. personal pleasure in this tact when I realize that, at my request made the day following my first Installation, every lodge without exception has its Committee of Investigation, Ilnd that the moral character and the mental tltDes&' of every candidate are now the subjects of most careful enquiry and consideration. It should be the highest testimony as to character any man can possess to say he is a member of a Masonic Lodge, and we owe it not only t~ ourselves, but to ~'reemasonry all the world over, that only such are admitted as will do credit to our Institution-men whose lives arc squared by those great virtues which form the foundation upon which our spiritual Temple is erected. Freemasonfy owes its influence in the community to-day to the high standard of its membership, and we must never forget that the profane world, judges us, after all, not by our best, but by our worst, and that one unworthy individual will exercise a mallgn infiuence that a hundred good men and true cannot counteract.

SECOND SPECIAL COMMUNICATION. The Second Special C'ommunication was held June 22, 1920, for the purpose of. nominating Grand Officers for the ensuing year. This seems to have been the only item of business. QUARTERLY COMMUNICATIONS. The first Quarterly Communication was held September 10, 1919, and its record contains little of interest to any except those within that jurisdiction. The Grand Master, in his address, states that be bad issued 1100 Master Masons' certificates during the quarter, and had consecrated four new lodges. He reports a violation of order in admitting ladies to installation banquets, and c-ondemns tbis as directly opposed by the law of the Grand Lodge. The reports which follow are merely in the nature of routine as peculiar to that jurisdiction.

103

The second Quarterly Communication was held December 10, 1919, and, like its~predecessor, the business transacted was of little more. than local interest. The Grand Master states that he has issued 160 Master Masons' certificates, c.onstituted three new lodges, and made a large number of vi~itations. PHYSICAL DlSABILITY. The Grand Master states that only two cases of physical disability have come before him, in which lodges had violated the law anG Ancient Landmarks by admitting candidates physically disqualIfied. He states that any such conduct in the future by any lodge will be met by suspension. The Third Quarterly Communication was held March 10, 1920, and the Grand Master in' his address states that he had consecrated three lodges, and installed the Worshipful Masters thereof. The Grand Master reports 124 dispensations granted for the usual purposes, and one refused, it being a request for privilege to attend church in regalia; he calls attention to the fact that the Grand Lodge, by Special Edict had abrogated .this practice. (This practice should be discontinued everywhere, in our judgment.) The Grand Master calls attention to the many needy orphans in that jurisdiction, and suggests that the time has now come for the establishment of a Masonic Home. He asks t~e appointment of a committee for the purpose of consietering the feasibility of erecting a Masonic Home, which request was granted, he being made chairman.

CENTIDNARY. The Grand Master called attention of the Grand Lodge to the Centenary which would occur August 12, 1920, and a committee was appointed to prepare for itli celebration in due form. The Fourth Quarterly Communication was held June 23rd, 1920, and nothing unusual seems to have occurred save only a notice of formal address to H. R. H. The Prince of Wales, with an invitation to attend a meeting of the Grand Lodge. His Royal Highness replied in very courteous terms to both communications, regretting, in the last, his inability to visit the Grand Lodge, because of many engagements. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE.

ONE HUNDRED AND FORTIETH ANNUAL COMMUNICATION. The Proceedings of the Grand Lodge of New York come to us in a well arranged volume, which it is a pleasure to review, not only because of this, but also because of the ~revelations it brings with reference to the magnitude of our Order in that jurisdiction, the splendid work they are doing, and the monuments they havo already erected to Freemasonry. It was a high compliment to the Grand Officers to ,be re-elected by acclamation, and it also speaks volumes for the untty of s,pirit which characterizes the FRATEJRNITY. The Grand Lodge was opened in Ample Form, in the Grand Lodge Room, Masonic Hall, city of New York, on the afternoon of May 3, 1921. The prayer of the Grand Chaplain, Rev. Thomas H. McKensie, was reverent in spirit and eloquent in form. ANNUAL ADDRESS. This covers forty-three pages, but if its length were an objection to any critic, its great excellence is such that the thoughtful would appreciate even more than is given. We 'copy from the opening pages with regret that our s,pace does not allow more: Brethren of the Grand Lodge: With grateful acknowledgment of all the many blessings that have been showered upon us, with profound thanksgiving to our Heavenly Father for His abounding goodness to us, with constant and enduring faith in' His Almighty power to guide us, with steadfast unwavering hope in the usefulness the future has in store for us,' with sincere and unfeigned love to all the brethren that Is born of a though humanly-limited, yet earnest appreciation and apprehension of the 1llimitable love of our Father, God, to each of us, with a. keen sense

In the, midst of all the world chan.gcs, the general 'Unrest, the violent adjustment and readjustment of the level of valuC8 and all the other apparently uncontrollable changes that have t.aken place, in face of the threatened invasion of the peaceable, regular and sane order of things by forces that make for disorder, degradation and 'destruction, Freemasonry, imbued with and holding forth the invincible spirit of Americanism, inculcating, lofty citizenship and the principles of righteous and honorable <living, 100mB forth more popular than ever before in its history in its appeal to thousands of young men as a desirable and enviable haven of membership, No institution, builded on the sure foundation of fraternal right and sending forth the unmistakable light of truth and rectitude, is more -approved and accepted today in the mind3 of just and honest thinking men than is this institution of ours. It ig evidenced in the veritable clamor of the many thousands of men who are earnestly seeking admission, it is manifest l.n the attention attracted to it on the part of some of the Jeading men of the nation, It is visible in the greatly increased inteTC5t displayed on the part of its votarloo and in the improved attendance at our lodge meetings and it is demonstrated in the general acceptance of its unequivocal loyalty to our Country, to our, Flag and to -all the high and exalted principles upon which American citizenship is founded. This is the era of Masonry's popularity, this Is the epoch of Masonry's opportunity, this is the day of Masonry's responslblllty. Shall It not be the time o~ our reconsecration and rededication?

, IN MEMORIAM.

ana

The Grand Master gives a long list of the Fraternal Dead, dwells especially upon the passing of Rev. Cbarles Sumner Burch, Eighth Bishop of, the Protestant Episcopal Diocese of New York, and Grand Chaplain' of the Grand Lodge for a number of years. Many dispensations were granted during the year for the usual reasons. VISITATIONS AND CEREMONIES. The Grand Master exhibited his zeal for Freemasonry by a number of official visits, and by presiding over a ,number of Masonic Ceremonials, prominent among which was his visit to Washington City, at the inauguration of President Harding, concerning which we allow him to speak in person: I am sure every Mason in t.he land and particularly every N'ew York Mason telt the thrill of pride and joy consequent on the prominent part that Freemasonry had In the Inauguration as President of the United states ot our BrotheT' Warren G. Harding on March 4th, 1921. No doubt you alI J,.-nowthat the Bible on which Brother George Washington took the oath ot office as' t1,rst President ot the' United States on April 30th, 1789, on the steps of the Federal Building In Wall Street, New York City, was and still 1a the Bible of our own St. John's Lodge, No. 1. Agreeably to the

106

Appendix.

[Sept.

request of Brother Harding that he 路be granted the privilege of taking the oath of office on the same Bible, the Grand Master had the great pleasure of accompanyIng the Committee of St. John's Lodge, consisting of the Master, Brother Frederick A. Onderdonk, and Past Masters Brothers George T. Montgomery, George H. Phillips, John J. Morrow and Charles H. Hamilton, who were appointed to escort and guard the Bible and witnessing from a prominent place on the inaugural stand the consummation of Brother Harding's desire. On that famous Bible, that priceless treasure of S1. John's Lodge, Brother Harding promised and swore to defend the Constitution and fulfill the great office of President, pressing his iips on that verse in the Prophecy of Micah which ask8 "What doth God require of thee but to do justice, to love mercy and to walk .humbly before thy GOQ?" to which he referred at the close of his powerful address with these inspiring words of dedication and consecration: "This I Plight to God and Country." Shall we not rejoic~ in the knowledge that the Masonic spirit of Brother George Washington still lives in the heart and dominate..'\ the will and purpose of the Brother Mason whom his fellow-countrymen have elevated to the highest omce in the land 1.

NEW LODGES. Fourteen lodges were created by dispensation during the year, which, as far as we remember, is the record for number created by any Grand Lodge.

A SERIOUS QUESTION. The Grand Master refers in graphic terms to the congested condition of the ante-rooms of many lodges in the jurisdiction, botb as regards waiting candidates, and those who are initiates. He alludes to a case so extraordinary that we give the particulars: In a certain lodge the Master initia.ted 80 candida.tes. advanc}ng none (as we underst~l.lld) to the Master's Degree, and spending the funds so obtained, in a banquet in which, of course, the Entered Apprentices did not participate. The case seems to us somewhat ::Im1J~ing. but so radically wrong that were we Grand Master, n,,, Master and the lodge would be subject to severe criticism-and ~omething more! The Grand Master is eminently wise. and we gTeatly appreciat.e his optimistic spirit. but we cannot rejoice with him ovel' the 2"re::lt number of accessions to our Fraternity in the past few years. Tn our humble opinion we are taking such a large amount of crude material intQ our Masonic sYstem. that it will requirp. Yl'ars to digest and assi'!IliJ~te it, and the lJeaTth of our Order may be seriously impaired in the end. As we- h:we said heret.ofore. Masonry was never intended to be a popular institution. and it is by no means necessary that every man should be a Mason, espe-

cially as the 3Jbsence of such distinction involves no criticism upon his character. Nor are we sufficiently sweet of spirit to agree with the Grand Master and the Grand Lodge, and many other Grand Masters and Grand Lodges, in proposing to do' away with one of Qur most important Landmarks, so as to admit into the Fraternity those who, by the founders of our Order, and its most eminent patrons, were deemed physically unfit. In this we intend no possible criticism, and we may be wrong in the opinions ex路pressed. This would not be extraordinary, as we are often wrong. CYPHER BOOKS. It appears from the record that the use of a cypher ritual,

though forbidden, is common all over the state, and at the suggestion of the Grand Master, the Committee duly appointed, pro_posed that the Grand Lodge publish a ritual for distribution among the lodges. This was finally referred to the next Grand Lodge. (It seems to us that a shorter way would have been to enforce the law by disciplining everyone found violating the same. The proposition that the Grand Lodge should issue the ritual on a commercial basis is, in effect, a surrender.) MASONIC HOME. Thi~ institution, possibly the greatest of its kind. among all our Grand Jurisdictions, seems in excellent condition. The. home family numbers nearly 500, men, women and children,-the expense of maintenance for' the year was nearly $253,000.00, with a surplus of some $80,000.00. The Grand Master concludes his address with the following lines: "Time worketh, let me work too, Time undoeth, let me do, Busy as time, my work I'll ply Til,! I rest 'in the rest of eternity.. "Sin worketh, let me work too, Sin undoeth, let me do, Busy as Sin, my work I'll ply Till I rest in the rest of eternity. "Death worketh, let me work too, Death undoeth, let me do, Busy as death, my work I'll ply Till I rest in the rest of eternity."

The Grand Lodge of New Zealand met in its Thirty-First Annual Communication at Invercargill Monday, May 3rd, 1920. Including the Grand Officers there were present two hundred and fifteen members. TJle Grand Lodge was opened in Due and Ancient Form, and the Grand Secretary, announcing that the Grand Master being unable to be present on account of official duties elsewhere, he was authorized to appoint a presiding officer for tho present session. M. W. Mauri-ce Thompson, Past Grand Master, being thus duly appointed as presiding officer, proceeded with the business of the Grand Lodge. V. W. Bro. J. J. Esson, President of the Board of General Purposes, read a communication from the Grand Master from which we give a paragraph: A few months ago Grand Lodge lost a powerful ally and devoted friend' when a former Grand Master, Lord Plunket, died. We had hoped to accomplish great things with his assistance. We were successful in arranging that he should . represent New Zealand' in the Grand I.odge of England, and had he. lived he would have. acted as our ambassador in steps which we pr9posed to take to bring about, Without friction or embarrassment, a fusion between lodges in New Zealand working under the Grand I.odge of England and our own Grand Lodge. I hold very strongly that there should be one Grand Lodge only. exercising jurisdiction in- New Zealand, the Grand Lodge of New Zealand, and that there should. be no Craft lodges excepting those which owe allegiance to the Grand I.odge of New Zealand. At the present time, speaking generally, the Grand Lodge of New Zealand and Masons t.hroughout New Zealand are on the friendliest footing

with the members of English, Scotch, and Irish lodges, but it must be plain to ever)' brother that in the interests of Masonry union is desirable. At present Masonic forces in New Zealand are disunited, and so energy is wasted and uslfulness is impaired, but the day will certainly come when every Craft lodge in New Zealand tenitory will come under the dominion of our own Grand Lodge. There is one other matter upon which I have formed a decided opinion. The removal of the Grand Lodge Office and statf and records from one centre to anot.her at t.he end of every two years is inconvenient, wasteful, and farcical. During t.he infancy of Grand I.odge, when· it was struggling to make its way in the face of violent opposition, .it llIay have been desirable that the Grand Secretary should, in addition to transacting the ordinary business of Grand Lodge in one of t.he principal centres, pla~' the part of a. missionary, but that time has gone by. Hold your Annual Communication where you please. Elect whom you please to be the business managers of your institutions, but pray do what other business institut.ions do: establish your place of business in one centre and keep it there.

FINANCIAL REPORT. From this we gather that the Grand Lodge is in excellent rna: terial condition and the benevolent spirit manifeste~ is worthy of all commendation. It ,is interesting to note that its cash balance a:t the end of the first year (1891) was only £72, while the balance for current year, £64,894, a goodly gain. NEW LODGES. Three lodges were constituted during the year'. FRENCH MASONRY. The following report' was adopted: "That French Masonry, as now practiced, is inconsistent with the Constitution and Nature of :Freemasonry, as understood in New Zealand, and that recognition should not be ext.ended at present to any or either of the three Grand Bodies elaiming jurisdiction. in France."

The condition' of Freemasonry in New Zealand seems on the whole to be excellent, which is indicated, not only by a large increase relatively in membership, but also by the fact that every lodge paid its annual dues in full for the current year. There is no report on Correspondence.

ANNUAL SESSION. The Grand Lodge of North Carolina met in its One HundrMand Thirty-Third Communication in tbe city of路 Raleigh, Jan. 2022, presided over by M. W. Henry A. Grady, Grand Master. The opening exercises were as usual; prayer by the Grand Chaplain Rev. John S. Wood; the announce.rpent of a quorum by the Secretary and other preliminaries. ANNUAL ADDRESS. After a few preliminary and introductory remarks the Grand Master delivered the annual address, which was of such high order that we could wish much of it might be given to our readers. We must be permitted to give a selection; When we were last assembled we had just emerged from the great European cOlltlict. Cerma11 Autocracy had folded its flag, and the Stars amL Strives Were floating from the ancient citadels along the !thine. Democracy had t~iumphed on the battle-front, and a new theory of government had seeped into the pores of an oppressed and downtrodden peasantry. We were jubilant, and justly BO. '1'he untrained American doughboy had met the test. of steel. From the factories of the 1\orth, the wheat fields of the Wcst and the cotton plantations of the South, he had gone forth to battle, un terrified and unafraid, and Militarism had discovered that D.clIlocracy could fight. A peace loving peoplc had swallowed its creed; and. while deploring the nccessity of war, trusting implicitly In the God of Battle..,> and ill the righteousness of their ca use, had put to flight the legioll3 of destruction and proclaimed to the world and its peuples that Autocracy had no place among civilized men. And then our boys came home. 1\ow, my brethren, let us as Masons, while thankful to God for the apparent result of this contlict, think seriously upon those secret and sinister things whi<;h have followcd in the wake of victory as a vulture upon the trail of carrion; and in considering these things' we must take into account the Pilychology of the soldier. As a blow upon the head usually results in either total or partial paralysis to thc individual, so the shock of war has led to a very perceptible decline in the exercises of civic virtue. There are a great many people who find it impossible to resume the normal activitie.s of civil life; and is there anything strangc in this? Thousands of men who grew up in a civilization ordered by law instead of brute force, inured to the discipline of peacefUl com路 munities, trained to regard human life as sacred,' and to submit their wrongs to judicial tribunals for redress, have bcen massed in millions in a v;reat contest of force. In a wo-rd, mankind went back to its primal instincts and to its s;).vage faith in violence. The restraint.~ of religion, of CUlture, of civil law, were torn off like the thin veneer from the rugged wood; and. in thL'l unsettled conditon of mind we find Bolshevism rampant and the red flag flying in stran!:" places where formerly there was law and order. Think of the shock that came to the mind of the well-trained American boy, who had heen educated in wa'ys of peace, who attended the Church on Sunday, who had learned at bis 1I10ther'~ knee the beautiful prayer that all childnm 'Iove-think of thjp boy shooting down his fellow beings by .t.he thou-

Tltere arc millions of such路 boys in our midst. They are still sutTering from shock; they have not yet recovered their mental balance, and their mora.l fabric is still unstrung. At a time when the very foundations of OUI' Republic. are being shalwn-"by strikes, by misgoverned but well organi:r,cd associations, bent upon ruling or ruining the government under which they live; by men mas ,"!uerading under the name of Liberty, carrying a red flag in one hand an'" dynamite in the other --at this time above all .others, should we take upon ourselves the burden of readjustment. 'It is our dut.y, and it should be our pleas'lln. t.o see tha t. these boys do not fall under the influences of evil; but. to renlil"! them such assistance as we can, looldng to their mental and moral rehabilita.tio/.

MASONIC SEHVICE ASSOCIArrION. The Grand Master attended the meeting of above association and was strongly impressed as to the propriety of such organization, recommending that a per capita tax of five cents per member be included in the budget prepared by the Finance Gommittee for the support of the association. THE WASHINGTON MEMORIAL. The Grand Master, in company with other Grand Officers, at.tended the meeting of the Washington Memorial Association and was more than ever impressed with the eminent propriety of the . proposed memorial and its value to the Fraternity. He recommends that the Grand Lodge of North Carolina take steps to secure a fund. worthy of the state and the eause for which it is collected. THE OXFORD ORPHANAGE AND EAST~RN STAR HOME. The Grand Master commends these two worthy instit.utions in strong terms. calling attention to their good work and stating t.hp. need of more funds as necessary to their maintenance. This was partly provided for by the 路last Grand Lodge decreein?; that a special assessment of ten dollars be collected from each initiate and t.he amount turned over to this worthy cause. The Grand Master suggests that the Secretary of each lodgf" make report of this fund semi-annually and forward amount 1':0 collected to Grand Secretary. GRAND SECRETARY. The Grand Master su~gests that the salary of the Grand Secretary is altogether too small under exist.ine: condit.ionsand urges that it. should be $3.600. The Grand Lodge finally decided that $3,300.00 should be paid him in future.

NEW LODGES. Five lodges were 路created by Dispensation 'during the year. ** '" '" * * * '" Several cases of vIolation of law, by subordinate lodges are l:eported by the Grand Master, with his action路 in reference thereto. Generally speaking we approve his conclusions, though it seem~; to us that in two cases of discipline practically the same vio1a.tion of law met with very unequal punishment. However, we may not fully understand the cases. LODGE DUES, The Grand Master recites the surprising fact that some subor路 dinate lodges in the state charge only 45 cents annual dues for the en tire year, and he insists that the law should so amended (IS to make $2.00. the minimum to be charged for annual dues. We are glad to state that the Grand Lodge fully agreed with him and acted accordingly.. MASONIC MOUNTAIN RESORT. At the suggestiDn of the Grand Master a committee was appointed to inquire into the propriety and practicability of establishing and maintaining a summer resort for Masons and theit families where they might not only enjoy social communion amid pleasant conditions,'but also have the opportunity of disseminating and receiving Masonic light and information. (A good idea as it seems to us.) FOREIGN 路CORRESPONDENCE: Bro. Marshall De Lancy Haywood, Chairman of this Committee, having been diswbled by protracted illness so that his report was but fragmentary and incDmplete, asked and obtai~ed permission to withhold it until the next year and unite both reports in one. We trust that our good brother may speedily recover his wonted health if he has not already done so, and that we may enjoy next year the fruit of his most worthy pen.

THIRTY-}i-'IRST ANNUAL COMMUNICATION. was held in the Masonic' Temple in the City of Fargo-beginning its labor at 10 A. M. June 15th, 1920. The opening exercises were as usual, in Ample Form with prayer by the. Grand Chaplain Rev. and W. Henry P. Cooper. THE ANNUAL ADDRESS. We appreciate the opening paragraphs of the Grand Master's report and present them in part to our.readers. There never was a time in the history of our country when there was a grea tel' need for Masonic influence and service than there is today. The qUe8tion as to what place the Masonic Lodge should occupy in the civic lifet of the community, is most important. Masonry played a very .important part in laying the foundation of our present democratic institutions, and has stamped its principles upon free government ill路 America. Mimmderstanding and unrest exists everywhere, and Masonry can do but one thing, and this is to see that the principles of the Declaration of Independence and the institutions set up by the Constitution be preserved. Good citizenship is good Masonry. Justice and the square deal are good Mnsonic principles. Masonic ideals should be carried outside of the wal15 of the lodge into our lives as citizens, and beyond that Into our lives as citizens of the world. Good-wili among men needs to be organized. Every Masonic l,odge should be a training school for community work, for state welfare, for nationn I prosperity and for world brotherhood.

The report is quite brief, covering only some twelve pages, and in general, deals only with matters of local interest. DISPENSATIONS. Three Lodges were created by Dispensations during the year and a number of special Dispensations were granted to confer degrees without regard to the time limit, but in every case requiring a satisfactory knowledge of the Lectures. The Grand Master also granted permission to Star of the West Lodge No. 33 to join as a Lodge in a patriotic procession. This is out of the ordinary antI not in accordance with the general idea held by the majority of Grand Lodges. But this is not intended as a criticism, though if we understand the case fully, we trust the custom will not become general. VISITATIONS. The Grand Master explains that, owing to the pressure of business, he was able to make but a few visitations during the year, which of course, was a matter of regret to him as well liS to the Craft in general. The Grand Master issued several circular letters during the information as to their effect upon the Fraternity in general. year on different and worthy subjects, but seems to bave little

This seems to us rather vague as the by-law in question does not state that the membership must have been continuous, or in the same lodge, or even in that Grand Jurisdiction. However~ WASHINGTON lVlIDMORIAL ASSOCIATION. The Grand Master endorses this institution in strong terms and urges the Fraternity see that the full amount of $1.00 per capita be contributed to this great memorial. -A VERY PROPER AMENDMENT.

On recommendation of the Grand Master, who calls attention to the fact that only the Master and Wardens of constituent lodges are members of the Grand Lodge, and of these only the Master attends, as a rule, so that the Grand Lodge is usually a comparatively small body, and composed generally of new men, not conversant with Grand Lodge procedure, the Grand Lodge amended the law making all Past Masters of constituent 'lodges, in good st.anding and remaining within the Grand Jurisdiction, members of the 'Grand Lodge. MASONIC SERVICE ASSOCIATION. From the report of M. W. Bro. Grant S. Hager, who was a member of this association from North Dakota. and is enthusiastic in his commendation thereof. we have the following: The second Cedar Rapirls Conference is the biggcst lind most Importlint Masonic event of thc year. It has vitalized the national spirit of Masonry and fJnJphasized anew the le",,<;on of the bundle of sticks. No more earnest body of Masons ever assemblen than the representatives of the various Grand JurIsdictions who gathered at Cedar Rapids. Ta., November 11th-13th, 1919. Tn my opinion t.hey were the leaders of Masonic thought In the Unit.en States; thoroughly imbued with the importance and far-reaching effect of What they were called on to do. The spirit of fairness and tolerance which marked the deliberations of the conferenee were on a perfect plane with the unanimIty of sentiment amongt.he representatives.. From the inspiring prayer at the opening of the flrst ~esslon by Past Gr#lnd Master Brlg-gs. of MI~ourL to the moment when the gavel of the presiding oMcer brought the memorable !!athering to a close, was not a jarring note. The ~plendid address of Chairman Schoonover was 1;0 well considered, So comprehensive and !>o Clear that t.hose represent.atives who might have possibly come to CecJar Uapids In doubt as to the adv[sahilit.:v of the movement were completely won to the nlan nnd ent<m"d whole-hf'.art.edly into the work of shapln~ t.he symmetrical 9rganization which emerged from the deliberations of the conference.

REPORT ON CORRESPONDENCE. This is from the worthy pen of P. G. M. Bro. Gr~nt S. Hager, whose report is quite brief, covering on!y 73 pages in a review of 52 Grand Lodges. The report is inspir'ing-so much so tl1at we would be glad to copy largely, but for our limitation in space. He accords to Missouri nearly three pages-much more than a legitimate share-which pages abound in kindly compliment to Grand Master Bingham, also to P. G. M. C. H. Briggs and our lamented Bro..Jacob Lampert, P. G. M.; also to the Correspondent, whol appreciates every kindly expression.

Opening ceremonies were in Ample Form concluding with prayer by the Grand Chaplain. After some preliminaries a procession was formed. under the direction of R. W. Bro. A. H.

I think I do not err when I state that in those countries where Freemasonry was, and is Sltrongest, the best situation exists today. It would lSeemas if the greatest fundament.als for which our glorious Canadian young manhood gave their lives so freell' might be lost to us if there Is not a proper direction to thC8e oo-called later ideas.

FREEMASONS' HOME. The Grand Master reports this worthy institution in excellent condition and announces that the ffindowment Fund is now $62,000.00. In this connection we may state that the Home is comparatively in its infancy, having only seventeen inmates. all old people, and that it is under the supervision of a matron and three assistants. The Home has a farm路 in connection, the products of which are duly reported, which renders it difficult to arrive at the actual cost of maintenance. Referring to the Endowment Fund the Grand Master 'States thatThe various lodges have subscribed to February 23rd, according to returns in the Grand Secretary's office, $49,32'1.50. This is only one-third of our objective, and ~as contributed by less than 20% of our membership. These is, also, the fact that twcnty-six (26) lodges, over one-third of our total, have maae no returns.

AN UNUSUAL INCIDENT. The Grand Master. reports the case of two lodges applying for the restoration of their charters, which were surrendered, 23 and 25 years ago respectively. The Grand Master "felt constrained to consider these applications on the same footing as ones for a new lodge," and we find them reported as under Dispensation.

Our worthy Bro. James C.

OPENING OF THE GRAND LODGE; The Grand Master then called. for a r~port of the Committee on Credentials, after wh'ich the Grand Lodge was opened in Short Form with invocation by Grand Chaplain. Various telegrams (If congratulation, etc., were duly received and on motion were responded to by the Grand Secretary, after which the Grand Master presented his ANNUAL ADDRESS, which was quite long, covering some 87 pages, in which he ably presented and discussed ,the various acts and incidents of the administration. Occasionally he indulges in lofty sentiment and his opening remarks indicate a reverent spirit, which must command respect from the thoughtful. We present herewith two paragraphs which will doubtless be read with interest: Here and now upon the very threshold of our labors we do well to be reminded that in all great and importallt undertakings we Freemasons incline our hearts heavenward. Freemasonry may inueeu be said to aim at having more heaven on earth. We do direct our \mqlOse, our plans, and our prayers iR such holy accord and sincerity that to the best of our humble endeavors we may be rewarded by the favor of the Most High. Surely .the glorious gains of the Craft. spiritual and subst.antial, show coneJusively that with us has ever been the Lord of Hosts I Blessed be His Name! Amid the strife of cllts'hing interests in, this world, war-weary and perplexed, the gentle agencies of Freema~onry have constant leavening force. Our principles, based upon the Holy Bible, teach us to fear God, love the Brotherhood. and honour all men. Where stops the language of Ritual is our starting point for more personal application.

DISPENSATIONS. Sixteen lodges were created by Dispensation during'the year, which together with the large in-crease in membership certainly indicates a wonderful growth-wonderful even for this great jurisdiction. Many Dispensations for minor purposes were granted, which we suppose were in accordance with Law and Usage, as they were .. in general endorsed by the Committee on Jurisprudence. The Grand Master reports many official. social visitations during the year, greatly enjoyed by himself and no doubt.by those whom he thus complimented. RECOMMENDATIONS.

THIRTEENTH ANNUAL COMMUNICATION, which was held in the city of Oklahoma, on the 22nd-24th of February, 1921. "The opening ceremonies were as usual, after an address of welcome and the introdu~tion of the Grand Master, who was congratulated by Past Grand Master Weir on his successful administration, and a brief response by the Grand Master. The prayer of the Grand Chaplain was in the spirit of reverent humility. THE ANNUAL ADDRESS of the Grand Master, covâ&#x201A;Źring twenty-nine pages, Is a most wor-thy document, and the few paragraphs which we give from the exordium well indicate his intellectual ability, so that we would be glad to copy more extensively than we do: It is a pleasure to report that the past year has brought our Ancient Fra ternity not only a marvelous prosperity, but aIso that delightful state ot peace, harmony and concord wh"ich so beautifully portrays the spirit of the Brotherhood of Man. The tremendous struggle through which the greater portion of the civilized world" has recently passed undoubtedly impressed upon humanity as never before. a knowledge of our dependence upon each other. Thinking men reali7..e today as never before, that the Great Creator made man dependent on each other to afford him better opportunities of" fulfilling the duties of reciprocal love and friendship. Freemasonry stands today as the greatest of all human Institutions for promulgating the doctrine of a universal brotherly love. It Is the only human institution devoted to thig sublime principle that takes men ot aU races. of all classes, all creeds and all political opinions, and unites them Into one great - strongly organized world-wide body whose very basic principle and dominating purpose is )he upbulldlng and ennoblinQ; of humanity. It teaches a universal love and toleration that leads men to do right because It Is right, tearing from the hearts of men the thorns of hate and greed, of envy and discord, of intolerance and revenge, llnd all those evils that have made the world a great battle-field llnd plantin~\ therein the beautiful flower ot love that a true conception of the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood at Man alone can yield. And so man seeking for ma"n~eeklng for that beautitul Ideal which we term brotherhood--naturally" turns to Freemasonry. We believe that thIs newly aroused sense of class consciousness; this yearning ot man tor those ideals embodied in the principles of the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man, is responsible for the' grea.t numbers knocking at our portals. But' this great influx of initiates brings to us a tremendous responsibility. It mIght be well for us" to pause and Inquire "are we worthy of this growth t"" "Are we affording these new members the opportunIty for attaining the helpfulne9S they seek?" . "Are they seeking to help others or only to be helped themselves 1"' These are questions that rou.st be answered and It we are alive to our opportunIty they will he answered rl!?:htly. This Influx of new members somes to Masonry trom a world ot confiIctlng thoughts, beliefs and ideals filled with scepticism, and they. as well as all of us, are in need of light.

clear enough, bright enough, to point the pathway of the future. We have assembled here on this, the anniversary of the birth of that Mason of whom the great Masonic .I<'raternity is so proud that with one accord they are planning to erect it monument to-~ his memorj', to foreyer proclaim to the world that he who won the sobriquet the "Father of our Country" was a Mason and our Brother. l'hroughout the length and breadth of this land, during the past year, Masons have proudly proclaimed not ollly that George Washin~ton was a Mason, but that the ble'<lSed privileges tlljoyed by every American citizen-liberty, equality 'and frat.ernity- written into the Constitution of this the greatest government of, by and for the IJeople that the world has ever known, was because those who prepared that document were inspired by the light they had received at our altars.

FRATERNAL DEAD. The Grand Master makes tender reference to the Fraternal Dead, and the long list fitly embordered with lines of mourning on every page. . CORNER STONE CEREMONIIDS. This list is a long one, comprising eleven school buildingl>, four churches, two for Masonic purposes, two for municipal buildings, etc. Several Emergent Communications are reported for the purpose of dedication, etc., etc. "

NNW LODGES. Eight new lodges were created during the year by dispensation, and four were duly constituted. One charter was taken up because of too small membership. DISPENSATIONS. Many dispensations ~ere granted during the year for minor, purposes, besides which we note that seven were for the purpose of granting permission to attend Divine Service, and one for Re: viva I Service. (This certainly indicates a truly religious spirit, which is always worthy, but we doubt the propriety of its display in this manner. Every Mason should attend Divine Service voluntarily and personally, Without the seeming constraint, of a regular lodge meeting and pr~cession with regalia. But we would not have路 this considered as a criticism.) . The Grand Master - likewise refused many requests for dispensations, all of which we heartily commend,-and in fact we generally commend every such refusal. Far too many dispensations are granted, and in our opinion, all should be charged for, not less than five dollars each.

DEOl'SIONS. The Grand Master is quite modest in declining to recite many questions that had been asked of him, and, the decisions which he gives all seem wise and in full accordance with our Ancient Landmarks and the Usage of Freemasonry. WASHINGTON MEMORIAL '&SSOCIATION. The Washington Memorial Association has the . hearty endorsement of the Grand Lodge of Oklahoma, and following up this idea, the Grand Master states that the Masonic Birthday of George Washington, which was on November 4th, 1752, when he was made a Mason in the old Fredericksburg Lodge which had its seat about forty miles from Wakefield, on the Potomac, was celebrated for the first time NGyember 4th, 1920, when thousands of Masons throughout the ,land assembled to commemorate the historic event. MkSONIC SERVICE ASSOCIATION. The Grand Master attended the Divisional Meeting of this association at Little Rock, Arkansas, in company with a duly appointed committee,' and while he approached the occasion with hesitation and doubt, he became convinced of the proprietYl of the work proposed by said association, and of the great possibilities before it: MASONIC HOME. The question of the removal of the Masonic Home from its present location to the city, which had been agitated for' some " t.ime, is still unsettled, as the majority of the lodges have failed to give an expression of their opinion on the subject. rhe general management of the Home differs essentially from 'that of Missouri, in several respects, and especially in thE:l fact that they have a number of pensioners outside to whom a special allowance is made, each year. While the subject of the Masonic Home is somewhat complicated, the problem is possibly not more difficult than It is found to be in other jurisdictions. The fam. that Dur old,frienq, Arthur J. Weir, P. G. M., is the superi~tend足 ent, insures a wise and faithful administration of its affairs. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE. The genial face of our good Brother, Thomas G. Humphrey, well introduces the splendid report he gives us of the Proceedings of sixty Grand Lodges, fore~gn and domestic.

These distinguished bretluen were receIved and greeted with the honour due their station by the M. W. Grand Lodge of Oregon and invited to participate in the deliberations of this Annual Gom~ nninication. ~ R. W. Bro. Mooney was introduced by Past Grand Master Norris R. Cox, who stated that Bro. Mooney was an old friend and路 a past resident of Portland and he was sure that the Grand Lodge of Oreg-on would be pleased to hear a few words from the distinguished visitor. R. W. Bro. Mooney responded to this invitation in a brief but very ,pleasant address which elicited applause from the Grand Lodge. . ANNUAL ADDRESS. This excites commendatiQns for several reasons,-first that it is quite brief-only thirteen pages, and in this case as in others we are inclined to compliment a Grand Master for what he leaves nnsaid more than for an extensive deliverance. Also we appreciate the 'fact that. the Address constitutes a~. real business document, calling attention only to the more prominent matters to be considered and incidents of the administration. Likewise, we note with appreciation several paragraphs well worthy of consideration, one or two of which we herewith pres~nt: The year just closing has been one of unparalleled activity in Masonry. Much speculation has been indulged in as to what may be the cause of the unprecedented demand for Masonic degrees. Divers causes probably contributc to it, but whatever the oause, the effect is to lay a grave respon..<>ibility路 upon t1~is ancient and honourable Ord'~r. . Durin~ the calendar year 1919, there wert> initiated in thiS Grand .Jurisdiction 2,286; passed, 1,964, and raised, 1,811. The net ~ain to the Order for the year was 1,6路53, or 9 4-10 per cent increase in membership. Statistics are not available since Januar~' 1, 1920, but the ratio of increase has, probabl~', been' still greater since that date. Danger lurks in this feverish activity. The ceaseless round of degree work is leaving no time or opportunit~路 for the greater things of Masonry. Can we properly assimilate this su'dden accession to our numbers? And how are we goin~ to do it? May thp, tillle st1eedily comE> when we shall settle down to a normal basis and have time to consider the beauties of specnlative Masonry. ABUSE OF BALLOT. Instal'(:es ha ve been brought to my a ttention where in several lodges candidates worthy and well qualified have been rejected by ballots spitefully cast in retaliation for the rejection of other candidates. Such a practice is more than reprenensib1e; it is dastardly. It is on a plane with the work of the anonymous letter writer and the assassin. It cannot fail to be destructive of the peace and harmony of the lodge in which it is practiced. The ancient prerogative of the Grand "faster of setting aside such a baBot was taken away by Sectio~ 198 of the By-Laws.

125

I recommend that the' Committee on .Jurisprudence be instructed to conllider and report to the Grand T,odge whether some method may be adopted for dealing with such a situation.

As already indicated we heartily approve both paragraphs quoted' and wish that the wisdom of 路the Committee on Jurisprudence could have found some legal method of dealing with th'e offense last noted, though we fully appreciate the difficulty of so doing. NEW LODGES. Three new Lodges were instituted during the year, and in _addition to Dispensations for these, others Of minor character were granted and some refused; we append the following with emphatic approval: Numerous requests have beep. made for dispensations shortening statutory time between degrees so as to permit the randidate to expedite his petition for the so-called higher degrees. Having been honoured with every Masonic degree that can be attained by voluntary petition, and appreciating as I do the beauty of all of them, I trust that J will 'not be misundersTond as critcizing the desire of ambition to petition for such further degrees. But J am firmly committed to the view that one who has not yet attained the sublime degree of Master Mason has not attained that skill in the fundamentals of Masonry which .would entitle him even to be thinking about the higher degrees. Needless to sa.y that in no instance has a dispensation been granted, knowinl!ly, for any such purpose. Furthermore. in every case where dispensation has been granted shortening time for meritorious reasons, it has been upon the express condition that the candidate pass satisfactory examination in each degree before the next degree shall be . conferred.

We note no Decisions of special interest. The Grand Lodge of Oregon in connection with the Order of the Eastern Star, is entering upon the worthy enterprise 'Of "building a Home." May they have. abundant ~uccess in their undertaking. Every true Mason will appreciate the following: TilE NINETEENTH LANDMARK. As an indispl'nsa hie prerequisite' to the reception of Masonic Degrees, It is prescribed "that every Mason must believe in the existence of God as the Grand Architect of the Universe." It is equally necessary that a candidate declare his trust in God before he can be conducted to the altar of Freemasonry. Severai instances have been reported to me in which candidates in answering the questions propounded prior to preparation for initiation have hesitated or refused to profess such belief in God, and attendants have resorted to argument In an endea VOl' to procure such a profession. Such a practice is to be discountcnn nccrl. One who will not freely PI'Of('h'>S such faith has knocked at the' wrong door. Cases have also been reported where candidates have hesitated to declare their trust to be in God, and suggestion and persuasion has been employed to procure such a declaration. This also is entirely out of place. One who, after

126

Appendi.-r.

[Sept.

having the benefit of lodge prayer, cannot or will not freely and intelligently declare his trust to be in God, is out of place in a lodge erected to Him, and Ancient Masonic custom has provided a means by which he may and should be conducted without our portals. Any infringement upon thi5 J,andmark or deviation from our established custom in relation thereto would be destructive or our institution. . After his duty to God, the highest obligation that the Mason owes is his duty to his country, and these times of unrest, social disorder and lost senS'e of right, call for c1earnc.~s of vision and maintenance of correct ideals. The times dem~1d of Masons. a new appreciation of the fundamentals of their profession; a clear appreciation of the allegiance due to our country; a renewed devotion to 'the principles of morality and virtue upon which the stability of the social fabric depends. It is a time for Masons to stand up and be counted against every force and influence that would infringe the inalienable rights of men. or disturb the peace and harmony of the sOG-ial ord路er. As R. W. John Whicher, Grand Secreta ry of the Grand路 Lodge of California, sayS', in a recen~ article, "The American Mason must--and, thank God, he does-stand firmly, and should stand audibly, for the faith that is taught.. in our Lodge rooms, and say to路 the world, Government. reigns, Social Or'der reigns, God reigns. :I<'or no man can be a Mason in his heart who does not prea~h and practice that there is' a God and that we arc all subject to His immutable laws.

Master, Brother John S. Sell, and the familiar cut of the great Temple in Philadelphia, of which Pennsylvania Freemasons are so justly proud. The business of this great jurisdiction, is done in Quarterly Communications for the main part, and usually consists in the presentation of sundry reports which have been prepared by Committees entrusted with the items concerned. The Addresses of the Grand Master are therefore corresp.ondingly short, and confined to the immediate details of the Jurisdiction, as a rule. The various reports are interesting in many respects, especially those which have refer.en-ce to the great Charity Work for which Pennsylvania is so noted. Year by year the Brethren in Pennsylvania have opportunity to rejoice over large BEQUESTS, . made by Masons who, having regard to the best disposition of their worldly goods, have come to the conclusion that Masonic Charity is one of the best channels through which to perpetuate their good works. The Proceedings this year record the fact that two bequests had failed to come to the Grand Lodge through an informality in the wills concerned, and information is given to the brethren which viill enable them to avoid a similar outcome in future. The total amount coming to the Grand Lodge through this channel during the year past aggregated more than $60,000.00, and this money is for use in connection with the Masonic Homes. MASONIC HOMES. Our brethren are, in a general Vv~ay, familiar with the very extensive operations which Pennsylvania Freemasonry carry On in conne,ction with its. Masonic Homes. Time and time again men of wealth have come nobly to the front to aid and extend this work, and almost every form of effort that can be imagined is enterprised. Perhaps the most interesting item, hO\'iever, at the present moment,-especially to Missouri Freemasons,-is the income which if: being derived from the TWENTY DOLLAR FEE, which is collected from every petitioner for the de.grees, as in Missouri.

Krause, rendered the following decision: "Decided that an unnaturalized resident of this state cannot petition a lodge in this Jurisdiction for initiation and membership and receive the degrees without a waiver of jurisdiction from the proper authority of the country of which he is a citizen." 'We agree that under the conditions existing during' the World War recently ended, the above quoted decision was fully warranted and was a very wise and proper precaution, under it, nowever, all men of foreign birth, unless made citizens by naturalization, were ineligible to petition any lodg(} within this Grand Jurisdiction. ' In the Ahiman Re7A>n, Article XXI, Section 1, on page 65, are found the requisites for initiation and membership. Among other things, the section referred to provides t!lat a petitioner "shall' ha ve -bean a bona fide resident of this Jurisdiction for at least one year prior to the prf:sentation of his petition." There is no reference in this section as to nationality, nor do we ,anywhere find in our laws any reference which would raise this question. Therefore, in order that there may be no misunderstanding among the Craft on this subject, and for the reason that the Ahiman Rezon can not be changed unless by amendment, and, for the reason that the international conditions which warranted the decision above referred to do not now exist, and for the further reason that Freemasonry has laways been understood as being univer~al, .we have decided that 'it is not required of a petitioner that he be a native born American 01' a naturalized citizen. 27,

MASONIC SERVICE ASSOCIATION. Of this the' Grand Master has the following to' say: The ~fasonic Service Association of the United States, 01 which this Grand Lod;:eis a member, thus far seems to be in an embryonic SLate. At this time ~'our Grand Master would hardly be warranted in expressin~ his own personal opinion, much less to give an official expr~sion on thill subject, except to state that while the aim" and purposes as set forth in its const.it.ution, and its reports coming to lIS from time to time, may be, and are

no doubt laudable and proper in other organillations, yet many of these do not coincide with the Customs and Landmarks of !<'reemasonry as approved by this Grand Lodge. It ma.y also be pertinent to note that in associating with this organization we, to some extent, surrender our sovereignty, in that we submit to such taxation, within certain limitations, as may from time to time be I,evied. It might also be proper to state that the cost aft'airs of the Association uP. to this time has been which sum this Grand L~dge has paid $4,098-. Not all joined the Association, and some have withdrawn from

of administration of the approximately $25,000, of of the Gr路and Lodge8 have it.

P. G. M. Louis W-atres, who attended the Meeting of the Association in St. Louis, held, last November, in giving an account of his stewardship, among other things says: Much of the discussion very appropriately related to that part of the pur'pose of the association referred to as "service of mankind, through education a nd enlightenment." As concerns this broad question, it is not to be supposed that a gathering of Masons representing the various sections of our great ceuntry should at the outset be of one ~ind and in entire accord as ~to the !Jest methods to be pursued to briilg about the desired result, In this regard, 110t all of the jurisdictions are as conservative as Pennsylvania. /'It is, however, gratifying to report that the attitude of Pennsylvania was accepted as the attitude of the convention in the general proposition that in the working out of the purpose of education and enlightenment, nothi-ng should be addeq to, or taken from, the great fundamentals of Freemasonry; to-wit, the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man, which principle8 have enabled Freemasonry to withstand the storms and tempests and upheavals that have taken place since Masonry has been in existence. It is very clear in the minds of all that FreellIasonry ;L~ a body ought to take no part in any propaganda outside of these fundallJentals. The great purpose, therefore, of the association i~ to expand the thoughts and develop the ideas to the full and true meaning of the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of l\:lan, making it clear that these great principles, when properly 'understood, include every phase of human activity.

FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE. The Report 0:1 Foreign Correspondence is from the well-trained pen of Brother Thomas F. Penman, who reviews briefly the proceedings of all the Grand Lodge,S with which Pennsylvania is in fraternal relation, Missouri is given a page in which the proceedings of our "1919" session are reviewed, 'and reference made to the recommital of the "French" Bodies to the consideration of the Committee on Foreign Recognition. Pennsylvania's Proceedings arrived too late last year for inclusion in our report.

The Grand Lodge was opened in Ample Form concluding with prayer by the Very Reverend Grand Chaplain Luther B. Bewley. ' His Excellency, the Governor General of the Philippine Islands, Bro. Francis Burton. Harrison, made a most brilliant address of wekome-speaking in both English and Spanish, which was duly appreciated and responded to in fitting terms by P. G. M. Hon. Manuel L. Quezon, President of the Senate. The Gov. Gen. added to his courteous kindness by inviting the members of the Grand Lodge to an informal luncheon on the 1st of Feb. at Malacanong Palace, which was accepted by a rising vote.

ANNUAL ADDRESS. The Grand Master presented his annual address in printed form, which was duly adopted by the Grand Lodge. It is a record for length,-covering 220 pages, with comparatively little reference to Masonry in the Philippine Islands, and many pages s~em to us pracUcally irrelevant. Four lodges were constituted during the year and' the Grand Lo.dg-e see'ms to be generally speaking in a prosperous condition. The Grand Master occupies many pages in discussing French Masonry, and finally refers ~t路 to the Committee on Correspondence, asking for a report to the Grand Lodge during its present session.. The Grand Master states that the following Grand Lodges have recognized French Masonry: Louisana, Rhode Island, Iowa, Kentucky, District of Columbia, New Jersey, N~vada and Texas; also that the following have granted permission to their members to fraternize with and visit the Lodges of the Grand Orient and the Grand Lodge of France: New York, Utah, Indiana, Georgia, Florida, Manitoba, Colorado and Nevada.

CIRCULAR LETTERS. The Grand Master issued many circular letters during the year, giving instruction and advise as well as direct orders on many subjects, on most of which well-informed Masons would seem to need no suggestion. He indicates that there is a good deal of spurious Masonry in the Philippines, and that clandestine degreesare often sold to the credulous, FRENCH MASONRY. The special co~mittee to which this subject was""referred, reported as follows: This Grand Lodge has adopted the policy of following the action ot' the ' Grand Lodge o( California in so far as such action does not conflict. with local conditions, and therefore we recommend that this Grand Lodge adopt in substance the report which was unanimously adopted by the Grand Lodge of California in relation to this subject, and we !ecommend the adoption of the follOWing resolution: "That the Grand Lodge of the Philippine Islands is hereby declare'd to be in fraternal accord and relation with the Grand Orient of France and the Grand I,odge of France and that an exchange of representativt>S be requested of eaid Grand Bodit>S,"

Which report was adopted. MASONIC SERVICE ASSOCIATION. This was cordially indorsed. by the Grand Lodge and steps taken to obtain membership in the said路 association.

CORRESPONDENCE. This report is from the pen of our good Bro. Geo. H. Harvey P. G. M., and is quite brief, covering 70 pages in a review of the proceedings of 34 Grand Lodges. He is courteous to Missouri, complimenting us with several selections and makes a very pleasant allusion to the Correspondent, for which we return sincere thanks.

piCture of the incoming Grand Master, Wm. S. Sewart, and a brief sketch of his life, which well indicates his fitness for the high position occupied. The Annual Communication was held in the Mason Temple, Charlottetown, June 23rd-24th, and was opened with the usual exercise~, and a quorum not being present, the Grand Lodge was called from labor and reconvened at two P. M. After some unimportant details the Grand Master delivered his report, which was brief and in good form. We prEsent herewith an extract from the opening paragraphs, with distinct approval:

. Th~ golden age vividly portrayed and so confidently predided as tile natural result of the cessation of hostilities has proved to be '3 pa.s-c;ing illusion. The disturbing spirit of unrest that pervades the world at the present time hus been fostered by the promoters of that fal~ democracy which chiefly consists of self-assertivene.s-c; and insubordination. Above the dying echoes of the past warfare 1l1~y even now be heard the harangue of hostility, the clash of contention, and the roar of rebellion. Amidst the convulsive upheavals that are testing the strength of systems, governments and institutions, and which have caused thrones to be vacated, crowns to fall, and sceptre..c; to depart, the Rock of Masonry remains firm and unyielding, its glittering pinnacles rising highÂˇ above the storm and thunder of contending forces. The vibrations that arise from our contact with the opposing powers of hatred and i.ealous,Y that aim to destroy the sacreg.~bonds of love and friendship, should arouse us to a fuller appreciation of our privile~es, and prevent us from lapsing into an inactive seclusion. May we more fully realize our great responsibility, and earnestly endeavor to extend, by precept and example, the constructive and preserving influence of the most Ancient and Honourable Institution ever erected for t.he binding together in one (~ommon Brotherhood all nations, kindreds, peoples and tongues. J,et us cause .the Light of Masonry to shine forth with greater effulgence, that its comforting and cheering rays may penetrate into every sphere of man's activity, dispelling the dal'k douds of anarchy, superstition and unbelief.

~ The Grand Master refers to the visit of H. R. H. The Prince of Wales, and states that his pleasant :manner made a distinct impression upon those with whom he came in contact. The Grand Master refers tenderly to the Fraternal Dead. The Grand Master was able to make an official visit to every lodge in the jurisdiction during the year, and reports prosperity as follows: CONDITION OF THE CRAFT. The general condition of the emft is satisfact.ory and encouraging. The great wave of Masonic revival now being felt throughout the world~ has reached our shores and an increased supply of material ha.s been received into our lodges. I am able to report a net inerease of 4'1 in our membership, which is a remarkable advanee heyond that of the preceding year. While we know that numbers do not always mean prosperit)' or even strength, and while we realize that quality is

I can as.sure you, however, that the material received during the past year has measured up to the full requirement of moral qualiftca tion, and that we have recently added to our roll of membership some of the best citizens in the Province,

The Grand Master reports several dispensations but no decisions, which latter we are glad to note. The Grand Secretary reports the amount of money received during the year $1,111.70; also that the year has. been one of unusual prosperity, and that the gain of 41 members is the largest in the history of the Grand Lodge. CORRESPONDENCE. Bro. W. P. Doull, Chairman of Committee, presented a report, which was adopted by the Grand Lodge, but of this nothing further is said.

GRAND MASTER'S ADDRESS. This is a document of some thirty pages, and is replete with splendid Masonic and patriotic sentiment. Our Canadian brethren are noted for their loyalty to country and the Empire, and the Grand Master is very happy in the expressions he uses. When mentioning the "Fraternal Dead" the Grand Master requests the brethren to "rise and listen reverently" while he ('eads the names of those members of the Grand Lodge who have passed away since the last Annual Communication. There is much in the Grand Master's Address that is worthy of quoting, did we have the space. We give a brief extract from the last paragraph: Our lodges throughout this jurLsdict ion appear to be enjoying an unwonted era of pz:osperity,' but they must be brought to realize that this prosperity is more apparent than real and very likely is of a temporary nature only. The I:eneral opinion among those who have given most' thought to the subject is that the present period of high prices will be followed by one of ~reat depression with its accompanying hard tiules. In support of this view we have the experience in the great republic 'to the south of us a few years after the close of the Civil' War. If a similar' eXlierience has yet to be faced, as seems very probable, it behooves us both as individuals and as an organization to heed the warning and prepare in advance by husbanding our resources to the fullest possible extent.

ADDRES'S OF THE GRAND CHAPLAIN. R. W. and Rev. W. Harold Young, delivered a splendid address to the Grand Lodge, emphasizing the inestimable value of Brotherhood, and Masonic Idealism, for which he was thanked, and the address ordered printed'in the Proceedings in full. We wish that we had space to quote from it. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE. This report, from the practic€d hand of M. W. Brother E. T. D. Chambers, P. G. M., is very fine,' fully equaning the best that has come from his pen,-which is saying much. ~issouri is most kindly treated, and the Corres-!l0ndent is· overwhelmed with the generous words with which he is treated.

THE SEMI-ANNUAL COMMUNICATION. The. territory occupied by this Grand Jurisdiction of Rhode Island is so comparatively small as to' render attendance upon the Grand Communications a matter of little expense in point of time and money. From almost any part of the state the place of holding the Grand Communication may be reached in a few hours, and hence the propriety of a Semi-Annual. Communication is easily apparent. Generally, however, as in the present case, the Semi-Annual Communication presents little except of purely local interest. Various reports are presented and received, sometimes with more or less of comment, and at the meeting under discussion the Grand Master, Bro. James G. Collins, introduced p\ G. M. Wendell R. Davis, W. Master of Overseas Lodge No. 1 U. D.; located at Coblenz, Germany, who presented a detailed and exhaustive report of the history of the lodge, showing that it had initiated 498, passed 491, and raised 486,-these representing 46 states. In this seeming prosperity we cannot rejoice, for we greatly fear that und~r the circumstances it will be found that many were unprepared for the privilege granted,possibly altogether unworthy of it. We are sure, however, that our Rhode Island Brethren have acted throughout with pure intent and if Masonry has been depreciated in any measure under their management many of our jurisdictions have erred equally and in the same direction. But we' hope for the best. ONE HUNDRED AND T;HIRTIETH ANNUAL COMMUNICATION. of the Grand Lodge of Rhode Island met in Freemasons' Hall, Providence, May 17, '1920, and was opened with the usual ceremonies ar;ft an attendan~e of delegates from 35 of the 38 lodges, besides the' Grand and Past Grand Officers and visitors. From the address of the Grand;Master, which covers 28 pages, we gather that the year has been one of unusual prosperity, and that peace and harmony prevail throughout the jurisdiction. He discusses the work of the Overseas Lodge at length with evident appreciation of its success, and ,intimated that nowhere in the great World War did Masonry accomplish so great result and with comparatively no recognition. The Grand Master was faithful in his visitations as is evidenced from the fa~t that he reports 47 visits, distributed among 38 lodges.

DISPENSATIONS. He granted 13 Dispensations, 8 of them for the privilege of attending church. We have often expressed our opinion on this subject and will not repeat it h~re, but we heartily wish that every Mason would habitually attend church, leaving the distinguish'ing mark of the Fraternity at home. The Masonic Service Association and the Washington Memorial Association are strongly supported by this Grand Lodgeit being a member of each. ELECTION OF GRAND MASTER. The -Grand Master discusses this subject showing the unique fact that the Grand Master of one year virtually appoints the Grand Master of the sixteenth year from that time. This is owing to the peculiar usage of that Grand Lodge, in some measure, and also to the fact that balloting is realy only perfunctory and that the procedure -of election is merely the barber shop method of calling "Next". We make no comment on this, sometimes, unfortunate fact, but only remark that the Grand Master shoul<l be peculiarly careful in making" any appointment which may ultimately reach the Grand East. A small man or an unworthy man in that exalted position is a M?-sonic calamity. There is no report on Correspondence.

FOURTEENTH ANNUAL COMMUNICATION. This was held in the city of Regina, June 16th, 1920, presided over by Grand Master N. B. Williams. The opening exercises were in Ample Fqrm, with prayer by the Grand Chaplain Rev. H. Bucklee. Addresses of welcome were delivered by His Worship Mr. James Grassick. and Mayor ,F. J. James, President of the Board of Trade, also by W. Bro. C. A. Thomas, which latter was especially on behalf of the Masons of Regina. These several addresses were most worthy in character, and responded to by the Grand Master, who introduced Bros. Dr: J. W. McNeil, W. E. Dennison and Rev. O. Riley to represent him in response .to the addresses of welcome. This they did in fine form. ANNUAL ADDRESS. From this we are glad to give our readers a p'aragraph, which will commend itself to路 every thoughtful Mason: We have' stood with bowed heads while our Grand Chaplain has expressed our gratitude to the Most High for the many blCS8'ings of which we have been the recipients since our last Annual Communication. I trust' that we do Dot regard this as a mere formal part of our opening ceremony, bu~ rather that our bowed heads may be truly symbolic of humble hearts seeking wisdom to guide us aright, strength to do well the duties which we are called upon to perform, and an abundant love and fellowship toward all mankind, which is after all the keystone virtue of the Masonic Arch.

A PLEAJSANT EPISODE. The Grand Master in company with other 9rand Officers and a number of other brethren had a delightful experience in visiting St. John's Lodge in the Jurisdiction of Manitoba, in response to a most cordial invitation, where he was received with distinguished courtesy and had ~hepleasure of meeting with Grand Master McIntyre and other distinguished brethren. The Grand Master refers pleasantly to the visif of H. R. H. The Prince of Wales to the Province of Canada. AN UNUSUAL CASE. In the case of a Quaker applying for the degrees, referred to the Grand Master, he decided that in the case of one whose reo ligious belief forbid his taking an oath, he might be allowed to "affirm", the right hand being uplifted, instead of the usual forni, and that this might be accepted as sufficiently binding. The committee, however, did not agree with this, fearing that it might be a dangerous precedent. (We think this action wise, as we have for some time feared that the Door of the, Lodge is often opened too' widely.)

CONCLUSION. The concluding paragraphs of the Grand Master's Address contain much that is worthy' and we are glad to make room for the following: To the minds of S'OlJ1e Masonic students the flict tha t a countless host of petitioners are crowding the doors of lodges in this as well as every other Grand .Jurisdiction, constitutes a /!ierious problem. To me this condition lays before our lodges as never before the duty of choosing wisely and well the rough ashla1'8 for the buiderS" use, to see that those who gain admission are men with reasonable intelligence, moral character. and personal integrity. Might not our lodges profitably adopt the principle of enquiring as to what a petitioner has done or is doing â&#x20AC;˘ for the benefit of his fellowmen to merit favorable consideration rather than .the passive attitude so commonly adopted of simply satisfying themselves that the petitioner has been gullty of no misconduct which would bar his way? In other words, should .not' the positive rather than the negative side of a petitioner's character be carefully considered to ascertain whether or not he is likely to become a potent asset to the Craft by the exercise and influence of his - intelllgence and moral worth? Many of those who seek to enter our mystic portals are men of intelligence, morality and high ideals. By service and self-sacrifice they are from day to daY doing their little pa rt to make the world a better pIa ce to live in. Such applicants, when once admitted, will be- towers of strength to our institution, provided that they find within it.,; sacred walls some evidences that those charged w~th the promulgation of Masonic truth are schooled in the lore and customs of the Craft, possessed of a vision of humanity's need and able to visualize Masonic principles so that others may learn Freemasonry's solution of world-wide problems. Others who seek admission may be prompted by purely and .selfish reasons. They may want the prestige which they think Masonry can give them. If admitted they will be found very infrequently in lodge but will be prominent participants in any phase of Masonry which brings the Craft into public view. Such applicants should be discouraged, but if admitted, should be given; to understand early in their Masonic career just what MaSonry stands for and what are its aims. .Some few applicants may have little or no conception of their 'duty to God, t.heir country or their fellowmen. They may be agitators who have adopted a sneering attitude toward all time-honoured institutions and who seek to undermine and destroy our social order. For such there is no place within the tiled doors or our Masonic lodges. Freemasonry, my brethren, can never takel an honoured place in the affairs of men until by a positive, practical application of its fundamental principles it helps to stimulat.c amongst humanity that power and faith, that hope and vision, that sense of service, loyalty and devotion to duty which must necessarily characterize the live,.c; and actions of men and of nationg before civilization ca.n truly be said to have unfurled her banner or peace and rlghteousnes.c; be established in the earth. "The world has need of greatness, men who rise Upon the stepping stones of Yesterday To the Tomorrow of their dreams and ours; The world has need of power; the power to build,

CORRESPONDENCE. From the Committee ,on the Recognition of Foreign Grand _. l . . odges we have the following: We, your Committee on Foreign Relations and Correspondence beg to report as follows: The attention of your Committee on Foreign Relations and Correspondence has been drawn to the following communications: 1. . Petition dated .June 4th, 1920, from Chec Kung Tong, a Chinese Masonic Lodge at Saskatoon, seeking fraternal recognition. This lodge appears to be working under a Dispensation from the Grand Lodge Shee Kung Tong of Victoria, B. C., which has derived its authority from Chee Kung Tong, San Francisco, which in turn owes its allegiance to Chee Kung 1'ong, of Canton, China. As no dates of the formation of any of these Chinese lodges are given, and as the parent lodge in China is not at present. recognized by the Grand Lodge of Saskatchewan, your Committee would recommend that recognition of the Saskatoon lodge be deferred until the older lodges have received fraternal acceptance. 2. Several letters dated from. March 4th, 1920, to May 10th, 1920, from the Grand Lodge Valley of Mexico-Mexico, seeking fraternal recognition from the Grand Lodge of Saskatchewan. Your Committee regret that they do not feel in a position to grant this request until more time has been taken to investigate the status of this Grand Lodge, and would recommend that the matter lie in abeyance until further investigations have been made. 3. Grand lJOdge of Vienna under date of April 21st, 1920. also seeks fraternal recognition. ]t would appea I' from this letter that, under the former Austrian Empire, Masonry was prohibited. but was carI;"ied on in Hungary. After the breakdown of the dual monarchy the Grand Lodge of Vienna, with full conscnt of the Symbolic Grand Lodge of Hungary, was Constituted December 8th, 1918, but owing to internal strife active worlting had to be post.poned. At the date of writing it was in working order. It. claims to have fraternal correspondence recognition with several German Grand I,odges, the Swiss Grand I,odge, Grand Orient of the Netherlands and the Grand I,odges of Italy, Denmark, and Portugal. Your Committee do not at pre..,ent care to grant this request. 4. Grand Lodgc of Colombia, situated at Barranquila, writing on April 10th,

A very simple cause, in my humble opinion, has brought about all of the multifarious ills incident to the very complex fabric of modern sQciety. And the remedy is so simple that we may easily fail to find it, while searching for some abstruse and difficult 'solution of the many problems that press upon us. We have become so engrossed in the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and -~he pursuit of our favorite phantoms, that as a Nation and as a people we have forgot God. The supreme need of America today is a religious awakening. Let us not forget that Masonry's fim requirement of every neophyte is a simple belief and an honest faith in our Heavenly Father. 'l'hough Masonry is not a religion, yet Masonry is religion's handmaiden, and should always endeavor to foster, encourage and promote true religion. Will you not as Masons, my brethren, strive to be better exemplars of that particular faith to which you ha ve 8ub.~cribed? You, dear brethren of the Mystic Tie, who often as.~emble around the Saered Altar of Freemasonry, upon which you insist that th~ Holy Bible, as an indispensable part of the furniture of every lodge, must always rest-you who teach every initiatc that Masons should not commence any great or important undertaking without first invoking the blessing of Deity: what personal acquaintance do your children have with the Family Altar? Are you endeavoring, as the priest in your own home, to see that your loved ones aqquire an intimate knOWledge of the Blessed Book? At the beginning of a new day, and In the privacy of your home, do you -bend the knee in prayer before the Judge of all the earth?

STATE OF 'f,HE CRAFT. In discussing this subject, the Grand Master laments that he cannot use the time honoured statement that "peace and harmony prevail", with reference to the jurisdiction and the year in its entirety. Further on he discusses the conditions so pertinently that we must be permitted to copy: Let us not forget that more than half of the Masons of South Carolina are young men, with the red blood of youth and virility bounding through their veins. They chafe at idleness and Inactivity. I,et us find useful occupation, aa well as innocent pastime 'for the leisure hours which they spend In _the lodge room. And let us forever banish from our thinking the idea that Masonry's effort to teach morality by means of symbols can find its only expression in the conferring of Masonic degrees. Masonry has a marvelous ritual, but it has a history, a philosophy, a jurisprudence and a literature as well. We have a large vlaee in our Brotherhood for the brilliant ritualist; perhaps he can find the highest development for his talents as well as the greatest honour for his achievements within the tlIed recesses of -a Masonic Lodge.. But, the varied talents of the most versatile Craftsman can also be used In Masonic labors. There are numerous ways In which the abundant energy of every Ml\3on may find expression. Two organizations which alford the opportunity for service are the Masonic Service Association of the United States, and the George Washington Masonic National Memorial Association.

DISTINGUISHED VISITORS. M. W. Brothers W. W. Magee, Grand Master of Arkansas, and G. L. S-ehoonover, Past Grand Master of Iowa, were introduced, received with the usual honours, 路and escorted to the Grand East. It being announced that the R. W. Grand Chaplain, Reverend J. C. fUtter, was attacked with serious illness on his way to the Grand Lodge, the Grand Secretary was instructed to send a message of condolence, including the hope of his speedy recovery. ANNUAL ADDRESS. The Grand Master introduces his report in the following wellchosen words: Brethren-Another twelve-month has joined "the years beyond the 11ood." Again, through the kindness of the Great Ruler who controls the destinies of men, and to Whom we acknowledge allegiance, we meet in assembled capacity as a Grand Lodge for the purpose of giving attention to the demands now upon us as Free and Accepted :'!Iasons, and to make pause, that we may contemplate how we have met the obligations of the past year with the view that we may the better, in the year to come and it.,> successors, attain toward the accomplishment of the aims' and purposes of our Aneient and Honourable Jnstitution. We miss the faceg and kindly greetings of some whom we have been accustomed to. meet on these annual occasions. ,!'heir absence reminds us, as we have so aften been reminded, that "in the midst of life we are in death," and that no man can safely boast of the morrow.

ILLUSTRIOUS DEAD. The Grand Master alludes tenderly to some who have been called into the unseen during the. past year, and comments in terms of affectionate regard upon the worthy lives and high character of two Past Grand Masters of that jurisdiction-M. W. Isaac Jones Thurman, and M. W. Archibold N. Sloan. He also gives the llames of a number of others, equally distinguished, for whom other Grand Jurisdictions are in mourning. Three charters were issued during the year. VISITATIONS. The Grand Master recognized the law, requiring him to visit the 'different lodges, but his situation was such that he was able to visit only some forty or fifty. However, he appointed several Grand Visitors to complete this word in his stead, and they reported pleasant experiences and good results. We copy the following with approval: \

It is, provided those so received are worthy. But, if. in the desire to make a good showing and a large increase in .membership, unworthy men have been admitted, then the Increased membership is not cause for congratulation but otherwise. We can only feel a just pride ilL a me.mbership that supports with dignity the Masonic character, a membership composed of good men and true, recognizing the Fatherhood of God through the brotherhood of man. 'Freemasonry ha.s withstood and o\'ercome opposition from whatever Quarter it might arise; has grown and thrived upon adversity. It is now popular. Men everywhere are seeking to have their names enrolled upon its 'books. Does this rush augur good for ,our Ancient and Honourable Instit.ution? Or may it be that therein lie the seeds that. may eat at the vitals, pull down and destroy?

THE MASONIC HOME. From the report of the Grand Master it is easily seen that the support of the Home is a serious problem, and mu~t prove a heavy tax upon the liberality of the brethren, but no doubt their wisdom and .courage willi be amply sufficient to meet the e.mergency. DEOISIONS. The Grand Master makes a number of decisions which seem generally in accordance with Masonic Law and Usage, though we cannot endorse his conclusion that "An Entered Apprentice, or Fellow Craft, having a certificate of good standing and waiver or jurisdiction, must likewise reside within the jurisdiction of the petitioned lodge for twelve months before his petition for advance· ment can be received." We heartily end.orse the following: LARGE ~n~MBERSHJP. While we have many lodges in Tennessee with a membership too small reall)' to justify their e,1(istence,. yet it is a fact that many of our 10d~C6 are gettini to be too big, particulariy in the cities, and sOf!le of the larger towns. I really feei that a lodge should not have a membership of over 200. Many lod~esin Tennessee could not accommodate their membership in case of a summonsed meeting. 1'he smaller . lodge would give more opportunity for recognition to its membc1'8 and, thercforc, give added incentive to proficiency. A, very important matter to a lodge was presented to me in the form of an appeal,' the record shOWing that thirty-three members were present. Tha.t lodge has a membership of more than 800•

• The formation of new lodges,' particularly in thc cities and larger towns should hc encourl/-ged, and, if in order to do this, the Grand ·Master should have . authority to grant dispensations, Sc<;tions, 2- of Article VI ot the COll3titution could be amended so as to give him that power.

It was announced that there were distinguished brethren from

The Grand J\faster requested that all Masons in the audience who had been Master Masons in good standing for forty years or more to approach the :mast. In response some sixty brethren came forward and were each separately introduced to the Grand Lodge by Past Grand Master Frank Jones. A number of these brethren briefly addressed the Grand Lodge to which Past Grand Master A. A. Ross made suitable reply. GRAND MASTER'S ADDRESS. The Annual Address of the Grand Master is a readable document of 70 pages, -carefully paragraphed, and in every way interesting. , 'Tender reference is made to the great loss sustained by the death of P.

We note, however, that perplexities concerning Freemasonry in Mexico caused the Grand' Lodge of Texas to temporarily suspend relations with the York 'Grand Lodge of Mexico, as will be seen from the following report: Bro. s. M. Bradley read the following report, bein~ a supplemental report of the Committee on Foreign Correspondence, whcih was adopted and ordered printed in the Proceedings: To the l\lost Worshipful Grand Lodge of Texas: 'Ve, the Special Committee, to which was referred such varts of the address Of the Most Worshipful Grand !\laster as relates to the condition) of Masonry in Mexico, under t.he' conflicting claiIils of the 'several Grand Bodies of that juri~ic足 tion, beg to report: }'irst: 'We have not had sufficient time to make a satisfactory investIgation of conditions in the Jurisdiction of Mexico, and, for that reason, we are not able to advise this Grand Lodge to take any decisive action.

DECI,SIONS. The Grand Master says that during the year he has had many questions propounded to him by lodges and individuals which called for study and research. He rendered thirty decisions, one of which is somewhat interesting: No. li .-Held that it is permissible for a lodge to conduct degree work in rooms within its lodge building at one and the same time; provided, these roollls are adjoining each other; and, provided also, that each room i8 properly tiled; and that either the Worshipful Master or one of the Wardens, or a Past Master of the lodge is in supervision of the work going on in each of the rOODl5; and, provided furtl]er, that the work engaged in must be of the same degree in each of the rooms. tw~

Of this decision the Committee on Jurisprudence says: In his seventeenth decision the Grand Master held' that it is permissible for a subordinate lodge "to conduct 'degree work in two rooms within its lodge building at one and the same time, provided these rooms are adjoining each other." In other words, that ~ lodge can divide itself into two parts, one part ojJerating in one room and the other in another room. Contiguity of th~ rooms would not alter the proposition that two independent bodies are operating. .A. lodge is an entity, one and indivigible, and that entity will be destroyed and the beauty of the lodge marred, if a division of its powers and authorit>i is countenanced. It' degrees can be conferred in two rooms, they might be conferred in twenty rooms. The lodge can be in only one ,place at one and the same time and is incapable of deputing its authority to some other organization' in BOrne other locality, The fiction can not be indulged in that the- lodge is all over the building in which it is located, and has the power and ability to perform ita duties at one and the same time in every room or apartment. We understand the' mad ru~h tha t has been going on for several years, especially in the larger dties, for profanes to enter the portals of Freemasonry, and the rivalry that bas sprung up among lodges to outstrip one another in members, but MasOnry needs no such growth. It is no mushroom organi7.atioI\( but is built for the centurioo, and should have no material except the best, selected in the approved way and placed In the edifice In the ancient and accepted manner.

GOOD FELLOWSHIP IN LODGES. Speaking of this the Grand Master says: It is with much satisfaction that I report to the Grand Lodge that, during the year just closed, there has not been the occasion tor the removal trom omce, nor for instructed proceedings of any kind, against an Individual lodge omcer, of any rank whatsoever, within this Grand Jurisdiction, which Is a striking testi~ monial of the care and good judgment exercised by the membership of our Fraternity in the selection of thos~ who are to administer its alTairg and serve Its needs. Truly this is a happy condition of affairs in our lodges, and for which each and all of us should experience II feeling of pride and gratitude.

Truly, a splendid record! "TALL ,CEDARS OF LEBANON." The Grand Master says: During the year there was submitted to me by a member' of one of our lodges in Texas, eertain literature pertaining to a so-called "side order of the

Appendix.

[Sept.

Masonic .Fraternity," styled "The Tall Cedars of Lebanon," which said concern ela ims to have a per'feeted organization in several of the States, and has attempted an organization among the Masons of this Grand .1urisdiction. I was a.sk~d whether there would be any objection to such an organization by the Grand Master or the 1\10st Worshipful Grand Lodge of Texas. In reply, I stated that, inasmuch as the Grand T>odge of Texas does not extend recognition to this so-called "side order of the Masonic Fraternity," there was no occasion that the Grand Master should render an opinion concerning the same, one way or the other. In fact that it would be improper for him to do so, further than to resent the idea that such organization is in fact a sidc order of the Masonic Fraternity, or that it is in any manner entitled to recognition as a thing having any connection whatever witli the Masonic Institution in this Gt:and Juri$diction. It was also stated to the brother making the inquiry, that such an organization would not be permitted to hold itS meetings in a Masonic lodge room within the State of Texa3.

This shows the trend of these times. and the Grand Master deals, to our mind, very properly with this matter. F'OREIGN CORRESPONDENCE. This is from the pen of P. G. M. S. M. Bradley, who in 136 pages reviews the Proceedings of 62 Grand Lodges. Missouri is courteously treated in a little more than three pages, considerable space being given to a portion of our Appeals and Grievances Report dealing with Bro. Jenkins' case.

ANNUAL ADDRESS. The Grand Master thus introduces his report for the year: Brethren: Another year has been added to history and we are again aS8embled to record its events and to plan for the future. I welcome you to the Fiftieth Annual Communication of this Grand Lodge, with the hope that the prosperity which has blessed us during the past year will, in a measure at least, cause you to look with charity upon any mistakes that have been made. The Fraternity in this jurisdiction, as ~sewhere, h;,gs grown by leaps and bounds, and while rejoicing in our prosperity we must be ever mindful of the sorrow and sufl'ering which is ever present, and of our duty as Masons in the work laid out for us, and symbolized by "Brotherly Love, Relief and .Truth." , As provided in the Constitution, I shall !lOW make the record of my stewardship.

Referring to the distinguished dead, the Grand Master reports the death of Past -Grand Mastel' William J. Barrette, and comments in strong terms upon his splendid Masonic character. He refers others who have passed away to the Committee on Necrology. NEW LODGES. The Grand Master constituted one lodge and instittited three olhers by dispensation during the year. VISITATIONS. The Grand Master' evidenced his zeal for Freemasonry, by several trips to distanJ points in other states, as also by visiting more than half the lodges in the Grand Jurisdiction of Utah, and he expresses regret that he was unable to visit all, which loss to them, however, was compensated by official visits from other Grand Officers. ./ The Grand Master路 made no decisions during the year, finding every case presented to him fully covered by the existing law. . COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION. The Grand Master dwells at length upon the importance of this committee, and the good work they are doing, assisted by the pamphlets and bulletins sent out by the Masonic Service Association. He recommends that the committee be -enlarged to five, and that an appropriation be made to cover their expenses. DISPENSATIONS. We are glad to note that'the Grand Master issued only sev-en Dispensations for minor purposes during the year.

GEORGE WASHINGTON MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION. The Grand Master reports that the entire amount expected from Utah for this Association has been paid, and he is assured that reports from other states show that their quota is being raised, so that the Fraternity will soon rejoice in the erection of· a suitable bUilding for the great purpose indicated. MASONIC SERVICE ASSOCIATION. On this subject the Grand Master is enthusiastic. him in part, in reference to the same:

We quote

It is to my mind a wonderful personal privilege to have been permitted to he present at and participate in the deliberations of such a re!lresentative body of Masons. If the Masonic Service ABsociation does no more than to provide tile opportunity for the gathering together of such a representative body of Grand Lodge Officers and Grand Correspondents it would, through the personal contact and· the inspiration which it affords through interchallge of ideas re-create Masonic efficiency, thereby more than justifying its existence. The program as worked out at the NoYember meeting directs the Executive Commisaion to devote its efforts during 1921 to the activities as set forth in the following declarations of that Commission: "It is the intention of the Masonic Service Association, acting as the servant of the member Grand Lodg~s of the United States, to ])re8eot a practical and comprehensive program of education which will bring to the membership a clearer comprehension of the duties which Masons owe to ·God, their country, their neighbors, their families and themselves. "This program is being developed on the basis of an application of Masonic principle.., to the problems which Masons of the present day are ·called upon to solve, as individual citizens."

ARREST OF CHARTER. The Grand Master arrested the charter of a lodge during the year for insubordination, and after dis·cussing the matter. at length, he finally recommends return of charter, which recommendation being concurred in by the Committee ~m Jurisprudence, the recreant lodge was again taken into the fold. (We do not sympathize with this action, though, of course, we may be wrong.. In our .judgment, there is frequently too much of mere sentiment in dealing with Masonic offenses.) CONDITION. OF THE CRAFT. The following from the Grand Master meets with our hearty approval: If we are to be content with making members rather than Masons, then must we reap as we sow and thus dissipate those sublime principles Which have been the very life-blood of the institution through the ages. My brethren, do not think that I am it pessimistic croaker; because I am not, and I have emphasized the "if" in all my statements, but I feel that I should! be indeed derelict in my

duty if I did not point out thc possible rocks ahcad in the channel of timely progrcss. I believe in the Craft of this jurisdiction, in their earnest sincerity of purpose and action, in their reverence for those la~dmarks, the perpetuation of which have made possible the wonderful structure which has been builded in the full strength of its foundation, but I believe that more time should be given ovcr to the work of education and instruction which, as I see it, goes hand-inhand with the proper conferring of degrees. I believe that the lodge membership should be limited, that the maximum number of degrees which an individual lodge may confer should be set, that applications should be carefully: considered to sec that the clas..~ of men accepted are of the highest type and are making application because of their great respect fofr the institution and that to become a member of it means to them the realization of their loftiest ambition. Let us go forth, therefore, pledged anew to consecrate ourselves to the great work of uplift, "so that when a person is sa.id to be a member of this Fraternity the world may know that he is one to whom the burdened heart may pour out its sorrow; t.o whom dist.ress may prefer its suit; whose hand is guided by justice and whose heart. is expanded 'by benevolence."

REPORT ON CORRESPONDENCE. The Utah Correspondent is wise and witty as well, and his report is one of the very best that comes to our table. He touches the most important matters in the Missouri report with a kindly hand, but is a little severe in his criticism as to our attitude on l!""'rench and German Masonry. Still he is so kind and complimentary to the Missouri CorresI!~mdent that we could forgive him for a tar more caustic comment than the one in question.

'Masons of the State of Vermont convened in its rooms in the Masonic Temple, city of路 Burlington, on Wednesday, the 9th day of June, A. L. 5920, at the hour of 10 o'clock in the forenoon. ADDRESS OF THE GRAND MASTER. This is a brief business-like document of six pages devoted JO a summary of the year's work, and concise in all its details. The Grand Master notes the rapid growth of the Fraternity in Vermont, and rejoices over the fact that he has good reason to believe that there has been no lowering of the standards for the sake of increased membership. Referring to the "Fraternal Dead" the Grand Master says: "Their work was not done, yet their columns are broken". He quotes: "0 what a glory doth this world put on For him who, with a fervent heart, goes forth Under the bright and gloriuus sky, and looks On duties well performed, and days well spent; :1<'01' him the wind, aye, and the yellow leaves, Shall have a voice, and give him eloquent teaching. He shall so hear the solemn hymn that Death Has lifted up for all, that he shall go 1'0 his long resting IJlace without a tear."

The Grand Master granted eleven Dispensations, all of which seem to be for the greatest good of Freemasonry in the places interested. MASONIC SERVICE ASSOCIATION. The Grand Master, in referring to this, says: .Quite a n extended correspondence has taken place between Past Grand Master Geo. I,. S'eIlOonover, of Iowa, and myself, in regard to a Masonic Service Association of the United States, which was organized at Cedar Rapids, Iowa, November 11th to 13th,1919. This organization was the aftermath of the failure of some of thc leadinl!: Masons of ,New York to obt.ain passports in order tu conduct relief work in Europe during the World War. After being promised passports by t.he Government, and after all arrangements 'had been perfected for sending a commission across, they were positively refused the promised passports. . With the sense of indignation felt by all good Masons at thIs treatment it is no wonder that a large majority of the Grand' Jurisdictions joined this association and heartily supported the same. At firs. your Grand Mastcr was a sincere believer in the necessity of such an organization even though Vermont was overlooked at first and therefore had no direct connection with the movement. This correspondence was for the purpose of inducing Vermont to join the movement, and while I declined to take any part by sending representatives to their meetings, I did agree to present the matter to this session of the Grand

The Committee on Jurisprudence, to which this part of the Grand Master's Address was referred, re.ported as follows: Third.-'Vith regard to joining ,the organization known as the Masonic Service Association of the United States your Committee are in accord and therefore recommend with a like committee appointed for a similar purpose in the State of Indiana: that: "It _is the belief of your Committee that the War Emergency which alone could ha ve justifled the (~a\l for such an organization has passed. "\Vith the passing of the emergency there has passed also whatever need for such organization may have arisen from the emergency."

The report was adopted. GRAND SECRETARY'S REPORT. This shows that the year just closed was a "record breaker" for the Grand Jurisdiction of Vermont. The financial returns from . \nitiations, and per capita tax, and supplies sold show $13,347.80 from these sources alone. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE. The report, which is the careful work of Past Grand Master Chas. H. Darling, is contained in thirty pages, and is arranged topically. It is full of interesting comments which deserve large quotation did our space permit. We give one or two excerpts, however: No institution can long be i.n politics as an institution in this country and escape the influence of party, and a Masonic Service Association ambitious to reform the world and which claims to represent the Masons of the United States, will always be a menace to Masonry. This will be true so long 3..'1 the members of such association (Masonic Service Association) are made UD of enthusiasts anxious to do something of a national character. These leaders are known advocate..~ of a National Grand Lodge, a project that does not get far when advocated in the open. They al'e always citing the American Republic and the failure of the old Article..,> of Confederat.ion and the advantages of the Union under the present Const.itution; but there is no similarit.y between the America.n Commonwealths and Masonry. One is a sovereign governmental power, the other is a fraternal organization. The weakness of the old Articles of Confederati.on lay largely in the fact that it made no sufficient provision for maintaining a common defense, while in Masonry we have no common defense to make. . We have very little doubt but that a majority of the Grand Masters and the Committees on Foreign Correspondence are opposed to a General Grand Lodge or to giving any impression that Ma.sonry is an organization Which seeks or recognizes any quarrel with the Roman Catholic- Church and are opposed to mingling in politics or the aft'airs of governrilent as a body or giving any impression that they are; and there are strong reasons why they should be opposed to the establishment of this association for it is already apparent that this association assumes to represent Freemasonry in the United States. The lan:.:uage of their Cedal' Rapids resolutions arrogates that to itself.

'I'his and similar organizations frequcntly have thc presumption to appeal directly toÂˇ Masons in the several jurisdictions, a practice which is a.bsolutely unwarranted and de.'l'tructive to discipline and the regular order of administration and should not be tolerated. .

The United Grand Lodge of Victoria held four Quarterly Communications during the year 1919, in Freemasons' Hall, Melbourne, on the follo.wing dates: April 30th, June 18th, Sept. 17th and Dec. 17th- respectively, also a special "Welcome Home" to returned soldiers and sailors held in the Town Hall, Melbourne, ~ov. 3rd, 1919, at which great enthusiasIl1' prevailed and several eloquent addresses were delivered, from which if space permitted we would be glad to excerpt.

The report of this Grand Lodge is in good form, covering everything necessary to an understanding of the work and inci. dents of the administration, but there is very little calculated to interest us on this side of the sea, except the general fact th~t our great orger is evidently flourishing in this Grand Jurisdiction. We note with surprised admiration the splendid contribu~ion made by the brethren in this Grand Jurisdiction to the support of the mother country: and of the world, in the defense of civilization in the Great War. Something like ten per cent of the Fraternity joined the colors and of these about two per cent died on the field or in the hospital. From the conclusion of the annual address we select the following: We have now arrived at a juncture of the world's affairs wllcn actual war has ceased, but we cannot say that peace has begun to reign. Even in the Peace Conferencc, there are a numbcr of warring conflicting elcments. As loni: as there was the outside pressure DC exacting events threatening national stability, the Empire 'was welded into a compact mass, hut when these events disappeared therc was a strong tendenc!, for national co-operation to be replaced hy internal dissensions.

'l'hroughout the centuries of the corridors of time the appeal has always been "Give peace in our time, 0 Lord." And we all hope that the League of Nations may give an effective and enduring response' to that piteou~ appeal. , I,ove and hunger are the two predominating passions of mankind. Hunger Is a primal force. It is hunger that drives the animal kingdom in search of fresh pastures, It" is hunger that causes the inroad of pests that encroach on our - agricultural life. It was hunger that, drove Attila and the Huns from the plateaux of Asia ever westward, until in the middle of the fiHh century they met disaster on the field8 of Chalons, on the Marne. It was hunger to a large extent that caused the ever-increasing populations of the Huns of to-day to seek world domination for their expanding population. And it was on the Marne that the modern Huns met their initial and what proved to be their final overthrow. Jlistory has a strange way of repeating itself. The world is still a series of conflicts of the right to survive. Can it be hoped that education' may modify these primal tendencies? Can nature quickly change her spoL~? Nature does not work per saltum, by leaps, but by succcssive 'e\olutionary stages, so that we can agree with the poet when he says that an ever-increasing purposc runs through the ages and the thoughts of men are widened by the process of the suns. Bu~ this proce..'lS is slow in its immediate ell'ects, and until complete, w.ar is not likely to be at an end. Our aim then should be to bring the world to peace by eliminating extra national animosities without encroaching 011 national sentiment. It is quite certain that a reconciliation of these conflicting elements must be effected by love and a: kindly recognition of human frailty and human vicissitudes. We can have different opinions and yet have unit~路. There may be a diversity of gifts but the same spirit. The spirit of Masonry acquired a .!!pecial prominence during the struggle which has ended so triumphantly. Masonry must not. only be a moral code and inspiration, but also a路 regenerative force. The evidence of life is growth, provided. the growth is on right lines, and we can boast with pride to the growth of, Masonic prineiplego. The w'orld is beginning to realize that there may be an organization fulfilling the highest aspirations that humanity is capable of, and we firmly believe that the organi7,ation to which we have the privilege to belong complies with those requirements. The problems of peace have yet to be SOlved, they can only be solved by discountenancing by every means in our power all attempts to sow the seeds of dissension which will ripen into a harvest of national disaster.

The volume is prefaced by a· striking photograph of the incoming Grand Master, Most Worshipful John S. Bottimore. Record of two Emergent Communications-one convened in the city of Fredericksburg, Va., on Sunday, April 25, 1920, for the purpose of paying a. tribute of respect to the late Most Worshipful Philip K. Bauman, Past Grand Master; the other held at Barboursville, Va., for the purpose of laying the corner stone of Barboursville Lodge No. 112, on Friday, August 13, 1920. THE ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY-THIRD ANNUAL COMMUNICATION ot the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons of the Common w~alth of Virginia was held in the Masonic Temple, in the city of Richmond, Va., on Tuesday, February 8th, 1921, and opened in Ample Form. GRAND MASTER'S ADDRESS. This is a readable document covering some thirty-five pages, devoted in large part to matters of purely local interest. The Grand Master was the fortunate recipient of an elegant automobile, the gift of the brethren of his "Home" District, and by this he was enabled to "visit" a large number of lodges during his year o~ office. Of many of these visits he speaks in his add~ess, and, like all .true Southern gentlemen, never fails to commend those from whom he receives courtesy. ONCE MORE MORGAN. The Grand Master gives the following, which we do not reo member to have heard before: !A.fter the disappearance of William Morgan, who published a pretended exposition of Masolll'Y in 1826, following his rejection by a lodge, some enemies of the Order charged that he WM foully removed In the following manner: That he was placed in a boat by Masoris, shoved out Into the current of the· Niagara River, carried over the Falls by the rush of waters ·and was seen no more. The Anti-Masonic Party used the above charge to further its endB politically,· but failed; and while it is but a memory today, Masonry survives, waxes dal1y in strength and importance and spreads its ·principles of morality and, democracy throughout the entire world. ' I wish to record something that is known to but few of thl.<; generation and was believed to be authentic by all who knew the two distinguished ientlemen mentioned. My father, a well-known scholar and devoted Mason, with a deep knowledge of the history of the Craft in this as well as in other countries, told me years ago that Captain Kenned.y, of the United States Navy, a man. of the highest intelligence and character, who retired on account of age before the Civil War, whom I remember well 3.8 a resident of Norfolk, had often said to him that

after 1826 while crulsmg in the Mediterranean, Morgan was a frequent visitor on board his ship, and lunched with him and the other midshipmen', in the steer'age on many occasions.

A SPLENDID RECORD WORTHILY RECOGNIZED. The Grand Master says: On March 26th'} appointed Worshipful C. A. Bell District Deputy Grand Master of District No. 32 vice Right Worshipful James E. Sebrell who, on account of III health, resigned on' April 7, 1920, after thirty-two years of faithful devotion to his trust a." District Deputy Grand Master of that District. In reco~nition of the many virtues and length of service as District Deputy Grand Master of Right Worshipful Brother James E. Sebrell, probably unparalleled In this Grand Jurisdiction. } determined to appoint him District Deputy Grand Master Emeritus of District No. 32, and have recently so done. There Is no honour that could be conferred upon this superb brother by the Grand J,odge, to which' he has devoted an ordinary lifetime with distinguished ablllty, that should not be his. He 80 lived and instliled the principles of Freein3sonry into the hearts and minds of his six admirable sons that they too have devoted years to the best interests of the Craft. and have all six ruled and governed their lodges with credit to themselves and with honour to the Fraternity. Several have served as District Deputy Grand Masters of their Districts.

Tender reference is made to the Fraternal Dead, among whom are included Past Grand Master B.auman, and the Grand Treasurer, Rt. Wor. Brother Fred Pleasants. HONOR TO BROTHER EGGLESTON. M. W. Brother Joseph W. Eggleston, Past Grand Master, and Grand Correspondent was appointed Grand Treasurer, taking the place of Rt. Wor. Brother Pleasants, the appointment meeting with the full and cordial approval of the Grand Lodge,and our esteemed Brother being regularly elected to that p'osition of honour and !lesponsibiIity. Tbe Grand Master warmly commends the GE9RGE WASHINGTON MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION, and says that Virginia will without doubt do ber full share in that undertaking. Reference is also made to the CHAIN PRAYER, which is being circulated so freely in these days. The Grand Master points out that to circulate it路 is against the Postal Laws. In conclusion the Grand Master says: When the Civil War was over-the most terrible war ever known up to that time-the defeated returned to their homes, rebuilt or repaired their houses, tilled their fields, or went into business, and the country was brought back to the pursuits of peace in an Incredibly short time. The land was not filled with lawless vagabonds waving a red flag. These noble warriors did not foment new troubles,

but put their shoulders to the wheel and resumed citizenship of the greatest country the sun ever shone upon. Many of these were Masons, and the spirit of our beloved Fraternity filled America and carried us through Reconstruction. I have lool,ed into the eyes of just such men all through this State, and J am filled with gratitude that I have been allowed to serve this body of patriots, Who represent true democracy, faithful to their country, into whos(' minds no idea of treason can ever dwell, upon whom the country may with confidence rely to live by' the principles of Masonry, and make us sure that socialism, communism ana anarchy, the constituents of Bolshevik and 1. W. W. methods will never gain a footing: in this blessed land. These men were American soldiers, and carried the teachings of Freemasonry into fight and field as they practiced them in the pip in!; times of peace, and stretched the sustaining hand to friend and foe alike when distre&; appealed.

MASONIC HOME ITEM. The report of the Committee on Propositions, among other items, contains the following, which was adopted.

Whereas, It appears, from the .report of the Board of Governors of the .:\Iasonic Home of Virginia, that it is necessary to erect an addition to the buildings at the Hoine for the accommodation of the increasing number of children, which are being committed to our care; and Whereas, It is estimated that the cost of such buildings will be at least $:lO,OOO. Therefore, be it resolved, That a special ta"1 of $1.00 per capita be and It is hereby assessed against each subordinate lodge In this Grand Jurisdiction, payable on or b0fore the 1st day o~ December, 1921, which said special assessment sha II be collected as due. by the subordinate lodges from their individual members, includinÂŁ honorary members, for that purpose.

THE SIXTY-THIRD ANNUAL COMMU~ICATION was held in the city of .Tacoma, on Tuesday, June 8th, 10 a. m., 1920. "After the invocation by W. Bro. R~v. George N.

This covers twenty pages with, a careful report of the special acts and salient features of the 'administration during the year. For the benefit of our readers we give a selection from the opening which will doubtless be more satisfactory than a statement of our own as to the facts indicated: G~NERAL

CONDITION.

The past year has been one of unprecedented prosperity. From every scction of the state, from lodges small and large, have come the some glowing reports of phenomenal increases in members, stronger tlnancial support and a deeper interest in the sublime lessons taught by Masonry. The retUrns of the lodges, as tabulated by the Grand Secretary, will show that the number of degrees conferred is far in excess of ~ho,se exemplified in any other equal period' of time. Nor does it appear that there is any waning of interest among those seeking admission, for many hundreds of the most splendid men are still knocking at the door and manifesting Impatience because of the delay in' receiving them. I have frequen'tly called attention to the dangers that attend a season of popularity and have admonished the brethren to guard well thtl entrances to the Institution. So' far as I have 'been able to lcarn, from personal visitation and otherwise, the lodges have been alert and extremely cautious in the selection of material. The candidates seem to be men of the highest chara,cter. It has been particularly gratifying to note that IJO many young men, who served In the World War ret'urned to their homes with all the patriotic fervor that their inromparable sacrifice inspires, should choose our Institution as the one in which they can best continue to serve their fellowmen. I would report, therefore, that the general condition of the Craft is most satisfactory.

The Grand Master granted Dispensations for the formation of five new Lodges, continued two, dedicated three Masonic Temples and officiated at the laying of five corner stones. SPECIAL DISPENSATIONS. The Grand Master granted seven' Special Dispensations to confer "degrees without reference to the time limit. All these, however, were for the benefit of '~seafaring men'.': (By this term we suppose the Grand Master refers to men in the U. S. Navy.) Other applicants for. the same privilege were refused.' MASONIC SERVICE ASSOCIATION. The Grand Lodge of Washington having become a member of the Masonic Service Association" last year, the Grand Master attended themeeti,ng "of the association at Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Nov. 11, 12 and 13, 1919, and as he states mad€ a careful study" of the matter before, during, and after the conclusion of the meeting. He clearly indicates from start to finish, his disapprobation of the movement, and as we suppose he was opposed to the idea of the association in its inauguration. He discusses the matter at great length and finally recommends that the Grand Lodge withdraw from membership in said aS6ociation, giving due and legal notice of such action at once. The committee especially" appoin.ted to consider the matter seemed "in full accord with the Grand Master. We herewith pre· sent the record: REPORT OF SPF.JCIAL COMMITTEE ON MASONIC SERVICE ASSOCIATION. The Special Committee appointed to consider .and report upon the Grand Master's references and recommendations~concerning the Masonic Service Association of the United States submitted the following report: To the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of :Free and Accepted Masollg of Wash-, ington: Brethren: Your Special Committee to whom was referred that part of the Grand Master's Address concerning the Masonic Service Association of the United States beg leave to report that we concur in the findings of the Most Worshipful Grand Master and recommend the approval of the same. The motion for the adoption of the report of the committee was then almost unanimously carried, after which a most remarkable demenstration of confidence lind esteem was made by the Grand I,odge spontaneously rising and cheering the Grand Master. .

This Grand Lodge Convocations are three Quarterly and the Annual Communication, each at intervals of some three months. As most of the work is done by committees the meeting usually lost oniy a few hours, generally in the evening and little more is done than merely to hear and confirm reports. The Grand Master not being present at the First Quarterly Communication, sent his regrets through the Deputy Grand Master. and also his report which is brief and unimportant. The Deputy Grand Master refers to· the initiation of H. R. H. The Prince of Wales in Household Brigade Lodge, in London, which was -conducted in ·regular form,-no attempt being made to ·car~y out the dog:ma, of "Making a Mason at Sight." In responding to a. toast to his health at the banquet which followed the Prince. spoke as follows:

"In' returning thanks for the cordiality of the greeting extended to him, he felt it a gr~at honour that the ceremony of his Initiation should, have been pertorm~d by his ~reat uncle, who was' not only Master of that Lodge, but Grand Master of England. He had been very much impressed by the ceremony, and although he had only ~een taught a few of the secrets, he realized there were some of the principles of Freemasonry known to ,the whole of the world, and that these were Brotherly Love, Loyalty, and Benevolence. I am well aware of the affectionate remembrance that Freemasons ,bear to the name or' my grandfather, King Edward, who was for many years our Grand Master, and who rema~ned Patron of the Order after he ascended the Throne. I have always been tol? that he was a great Mason, and that he did much to improve' the position of Masonry in this country. . . . . When I returned from France I found a few things for me to do-and those few things became so many that it has been practically impossible for me to undertake them all; but I determined that nothing should stand in the, way in my becoming a Freemason. Having served in the Household Brigade ever since I joined the Army, I was naturally anxious to be initiated in this lodge, and it will always be' a pleasure to me to think that the HOUBehold Brigade Lodge is my Mother Lodge. Although I am going to be very busy I hope to findi time to properly fulfil my duties 8.3 a Freemason, and it wl1l always be my earnest wishio follow the example of my pre~eccS80rs, and to prove myself In all things a worthy Brother of the Craft, and an ardent upholder of the traditions of this great lodge."

At the' Second Quarterly Communication held at Geraldton, Oct. 23rd, ~~19 the Grand Master presided, and th~ proceeding were technical and unimportant. At the Third Quarterly Co~munication held at Perth, Jan. 22, ~9~O, in the absence of the Grand Master, Archbishop C. O. L. Riley, Pro. Grand Master presided. He had previously served the Gr~nq. L~dge as Grand Master for fourteen years and at the Annual Communication he was unanim~lUsly elected, again, to serve as Grand Master. In reporting for the Grand Master, who was departing tor England-having for some time served as Governor of 'Uie - Provin~e, he sta~ed his behalf that he keenly appreciated the kindness received during his residence in the Province and was ~d~eply gratefUl for the many courtesies received from the Fraternity.

Among the recommendations of the Presiding Officer is the following w~ich we quote in full: Since the termination of the war, many of the lodges have resumed .the practice of holding social, evenings, at which ladies are Invited to be present. While there is no objection to this in itself, it has come to the ~nowledge of the Board that ii good many of the lodges make it a' practice to work a degree the same evening. As a lodge cannot always determine the exact hour on which its .proceedings shall terminate, It very often occurs that ladies are on the prem~es before the lodge Is closed and not infrequently before the candidates have retired. The Board Ia therefore of the opinion that when it is 1>ro1>os~d t~

hold a social evening no degree work should be undertaken or better still, whenever p088ible, no lodge meeting should be held at all. Lodges are therefore requested to make a note of this for their future guidance.

Two new Lodges were. created during the quarter. A CASE OF DISCIPLINE. A .very unusal case is presented. A candidate having been duly elected, to receive the Degrees in a certain Lodge, and the evening appointed for his reception, the Worshipful Master, from the chair, announced that the candidate would not be initiated, without giving any reason for this action. A violent scene ensued, with the result that the Master was removed from the chair and the Lodge, an~ther taking his place. The Lodge was proceeding with the initation, when the Board of General Purposes then in session in the same building, being informed of the situation repaired to the Lodge Room and forbid the initiation.' The Lodge defied this authority and not until a positive injunction from the Grand Master, who was near at hand-was received-did they desist. A wâ&#x201A;Źarisome correspondence- and intercommunication took place in the investigation of the matter, with the final result that a number of those who had been prominent in'the unlawful proceedings were "suspended indefinW~ly" by action of the Grand Lodge. At" the Annual Co~munication held at Perth, April 22, the proceedings were comparatively unimportant. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE. The report is of high character and anything from the pen of our good brothâ&#x201A;Źr Stevenson could be nothing less. It covers 131 pages, Missouri being complimented with three, in kindly form if we except a seeming criticism on the position of the Grand Master with reference to physical disability. Of this, he thus speaks: The sooner these cast-iron views are altered the better-they a.re but shades of the operative cult, when it wa6 necessary for a man to be physically tIt to work at his Craft. We are now s)'mbolic Masons, and more concerned with the moral attributes and the mental capacIty for understanding and practicing! the teachings of our Institutlon as it stands to-day. Masonry throughout the world is daily faced with requests from many of the most excellent of the community for admission to the Craft-:men who have helped at the sacrifice of many of their members during the dark' days of 1914-1918. Are they when found morally fit to have the doors closed l' Is not our Institution founded on brotherly love? Have we no love for those who sprung to a national duty when required; who left homes and business connections; who lost an eye, an arm or leg in the conflict l' Masonry must move with and fit in with the times through which it passes or 'there is a danger of it beini wrecked or seriously shaken on the rocQ of its unwarranted conservatism.

To review such is a plea~ure, and not a weariness to the flesh, as is sometimes the case. In addition to a complete and careful classification of subjects, there is also an index wnich points one easily to any item of interest. The face of the Grand Master, which initiates the volume, is a strong one, and the sketch cf his life indicates his fitness for the high position which he holds. SPECIAL COMMUNICATIONS. 'Five Special Communications are recorde'd in detail; four for constituting lodges, and one for laying a corner stone. ANNUAL. COMMUNICATION. The Fifty-sixth Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of West Virginia, was opened in the Masonic' Temple, in. the city of Huntington, on Wednesday, November the 10th, 1920, at seven P. M., with the usual ceremonies, the entire number of lodges being represented. GRAND REPRESENTATIVES. The list of Grand Representatives was called, and forty-four reresponded to their names; these were received with Grand Honuurs, and welcomed in fitting terms by Worshipful Brother Carney M. Layne, at the request of the Grand Master. ANNUAL ADDRESS. The address of the Grand Master is a model in much,-notably .for his logi,cal arrangement of matters presented, and its brevity. The'Grand Master knows what to say, and what to leave out,-a bit of wisdom not always manifest. He makes no effort at eloquence of expression, or beauty of sentiment, but speaks plainly and practically. We quote from his opening remarks: Now, in the name of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of West Virginia, whose I am and whom I sene, and on this constitutional date set apart, I extend to you each one a. hearty welcome to this our f1ft)'-six Grand Annual Communica-

tion. We are. convened in my home city of Huntington, and you will therefore, I am sure, also permit me to spellk on behalf at the brethren of the three local lodges, Western Star No. 11, Huntington No. 53,· and Cabell No. 152, biddinlt you welcome-thrice welcome-to our city, to our homes and to our hearts. STATE OF 'l'HE ORDER. We read in Holy Writ that when he was about to be gathered to hiB fathers the patriarch Jacob called unto him his sons to bless them. Wbile addressing himself to Joseph he said: "The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors, unto the utmost bound of the everll16ting hills; they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that "lere separate from his brethren." May we not reverently repeat those words in referring to the wondrous prosperity and growth of Freemasonry in the recent past? We are a people united by a mystic tie, but separate and apart unto ourselves; and from our West Virginia hills and from the utmost bound thereof, come glowing accounts almost incredible, of the material prosperity of our beloved Institution. We have now 15·5 cbarterea lodges, and 3 under dispensation. The smallest has 23, and the largest 829 members. Our membership October 1, 1919, WI16 22,880; on October 1, 1920, 25,453; this indicates a net increase of 2.513. So far as I am advised these lodgeS are all in sound condition, financially and otherWise, and peace is within our walls and prosperity :within our palaces. Such happy conditions seem also to prevail in all of our sister jurisdictions. From them all come the same reports of unexampled increase, prosperity and progress. The reasons assigned for this condition by those who have had occasion to comment thereon vary somewhat as to detail and manner of expression, but all agree that it grows out of the World War. Doubtless many worthy men, removed from the infiuence and comfort of the ties of fam~ly and of friendship, were led to seek the benefits of Masonry, simply through observation of the lives of those whom they knew to be its adherents. My brethren, this is convincing testimony of the power and far-reaching influence of Masonry in and through the lives of individual Masons. To my mind it is evident that thOse men through such oDservation conceived a desire tor admittance into our tlmehonoured .Fraternity; for they were not solicited thereto, nor were they influenced by spoken or written propaganda. This condition h3.5 brought with it peculiar responsibilities: First, the matter of looking well to the quality of the material otteredto guard well the west gate; as well against the· rejection of the worthy as against the acceptance of the unworthy. Second, in dispatching the great volume of routine business incident· to thi3 great increase and growt.h, we may overlook for the time, the real ends and aims of Masonry, or mistake the means for the end. The· conferring of degrees Is but one branch of the work of a Masonic lodge, that through which it builds up and perpetuates itself and the institution. But it6 real, true "work" is above and beyond thiS, and to see it In true perspective we must rise by inspiration . above the ·valley with its fog of details and routine, to the hills from Wh086 commanding height and in whose clear atmosphere a comprehensive view maybe had. I submit that our mission in the '\Vorld ill comprehended in the follOWing brief statement In outline:

(a) To make of each intiate a perfect ashlar, a livin~ stone for the spiritual temple. It is idle to assume that we can make, a Mason by the simple and brief process of conferring the de~rees upon a candidate, for at best we then impart to him only those first irurtructions whereon he may, with our constant aid ~)Uild ,a future moral and Masonic edifice. To change the figure, in conferring the (}e~rees we but induct the candidate through the portal of the temple of knowledge, and it would be' unjust to him to leave him to his own devices in his further progress toward the light of eternal truth. (b) To inculcate the practice of these tenets of our profession, brotherly love, relief and truth. I must not be understood as being unappreciative of those faithful brethren whose efforts have made possible our gratifying increase in membership. I ~ive to them all due honour and credit. But throughoutJ this imperfect life thcre will be the sick to be visited and watched with, the dead to be .laid away, and the widow and orphan to be shielded and cared for. The weak brother in sore need of a sustaining arm and of brotherly counsel, aId llr admonition we have always with us. Brethren, these things ye should do, and not leave the others undone. Many of you can bear. witness that I have encouraged and patronized your social ~atherlngs, whereby is promoted the spirit of harmony and co-operation; but prudence and moderation Is to govern in this as in all other things, and each lodge should see to it that the funds expended for relief bear a due proportion to those expended for entertainment. (c) To discharge our obligation to societ~' at large-In a word, to strive continually to make the world better.

DISPENSATIONS. The Grand Master granted twenty-one Special Dispens,ations and refused several. He wisely says that "if all the lodges would adopt the standard form of by-laws, many of the dispensations would be unnecessary". We have heretofore recorded our protest against the granting of so many dispensations, and believe that in every case, a charge of at least $5.00 should be assessed upon the ledge mak~ng such request. NEW LODGES. Two lodges were created by dispensation during -the year. WILL BE READ 'WITH INTEREST. The following paragraph from the address of the Grand Master will doubtless be read with interest by many: FUNERAL OF BROTHER LAWRENCE WASHINGTON. On January 31, 11l20, I attended the funeral services of Brother Washington, at Charles Town, Jefferson County. He was the last of the Washlngtons to be bGrn at Mount Vernon, and at the time of his death had charge of the House. Reading Room In the Library of Congress. He was a member of AlcxandriaWashington Lodge No. 22, at Alexandria, Virginia, which lodge desired to brinl1," the remains to Charles Town; and there perform the funeral rites. By authority of the Grand Master of Virginia they communl~ated with me, and I at once gave them proper authority in the matter. I met said lOilge and the funeral party', at .

Harper's Ferry, and accompanied them to Charles Town to the funeral. I had inteRded to convene Malta Lodge No. 80, but the train being late did not have time to do so. I am indebted to Brother Braxton D. Gibson, Past Grand Master, .for many courtesies upon this occasion.

.GEORGE WASHINGTON MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION. The Grand Master attended the annual meeting of this Association, and com'mends it in strong terms. He prophesies that West Virginia will do its full part in this great work. MASONIC SERVICE ASSOCIATION. The Grand Master attended a divisional meeting of this Association, and speaks of its work in kindly. terms, but endorses the action of the Grand Lodge last year in declining to take membership therein. He refers to the expenses, etc., etc., hut is especially . concerned lest the Association prove the precursor of a "Supreme Grand Lodge". We quote from the conclusion: The work of' your Grand Master is getting more exacting year by year. judicial, and in addition there is tJ1.e routine work. He should have more time to devote to the higher things of Masonry, and to more general visitation among the lodges. In addition to all this, I' am fully convincedj of the benefits to him and to this Grand Lodge of the interchange' of' visits with other Grand Masters and Grand Lodges. The time has arrived when your Grand Master, to do justice to his high omce, should devote his entire time to the discharge of its duties.

It is administrative and

FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE. The Committee on Foreign Correspondence presents a handsome report speaking wiseiy and freely on various matters of in-' terest. He, accords four pages to Missouri, reciting many of the more marked incidents of the session with appreciation, but criticises two things,-one, the fact that only thirty-six District Deputy Grand Masters out of fifty-nine made any report, and that some of these were only partial. He considers this a bad shOWing for our Grand Lodge; he also disagrees strongly with the Committee on Jurisprudence who over-ruled the decision of 'the Grand Master to the effect that a man who had lost the index and' middle fingers of the right hand was not eligible to membership. We agree with our Brother in his position. Missouri is very great, but not always exactly right. We greatly appreciate the compliment and kindly words he bestows upon us, and confess to the fact that we do not like discus路 sioi! in review work, but we do not refrain from expressing an honest opinion when it seems pertinent.

SEVENTY-SIXTH .ANNUAL COMMUNICATION. The Seventy-sixth Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Wisconsin was opened in Ample Form in the Scottish Rite Cathedral, corner of Van Buren and Oneida St,reets in the ,city of Mil,,'aukee, at the hour of two o'clock P. M., on Tuesday, June 8th, 1920. GRAND MASTER'S ADDRESS. This is a document covering twenty-four pages,. couched in fine language, and representing the various details which go to make up the year's 路labors in the Grand Jurisdiction of Wisconsin. The Grand Master refers to the hopes of a year ago that peaee, and the inauguration of a New World :Era would obtain by the time Grand Lodge rolled 'round again. He says that "Retrospection gives way to the new hopes which spring eternal". The Grand Master's reference to the "Fraternal Dead" concludes with the following: AROUND THE CORNER. Around the corner I have a friend In this great city that has no end; Yet' days go by and weeks rush on, And ere I know it, a year hag gone, And I never see myoId friend's, face, For Life is a swift and terrible race.

He kno~s ~ like him just as well As in the days when I rang his bell, And he路 rang miue. We were younger then; And now we are busy. tired mcnTired with playing a foolish game; Tired with trying to make a name. "Tomorrow," I say, "I'll call on Jim, Just to show I'm bhinking of him." But tomorrow comes-and tomorrow goes, And the distance between uS! grows and grows.

DECISIONS. The Grand Master says that many requests to interpret the Law as to Physical Qualifications have been made; and that several dispensations have been asked for on behalf of those who failed to measure up to the standard established by the Grand Lodge. - To all such he turned a deaf ear, holding that the Grand Master had no power to modify the ancient landmarks. ' So say :we! The Grand, Master, however, rendered Decisions in eleven cases, mostly of local application, all ~f whi"ch, with one exception, were confirmed by the Grand Lodge. REVISION OF THE CONSTITUTION. The Grand Master referred to the custom of the Grand Lodge which called for a revision of the Constitution every ten years, and recommended that this should be done as early as convenient. GEORGE WASHINGTON MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION. The Grand Mas~er referred ~o correspondence which he had had with the officers of this Association, and pointed out that while Wisconsin was heartily in sympathy with the movement, it was im路 possible for the Grand Lodge to do more at this present time. MINNESOTA FOREST FIRE RELIEF. The Grand Master reported ~hat a balance of more than $3,000.00 remaining to the credit of this fund which wa.s contributed by the lodges in October, 1918, and on the recommendation of the Committee of Jurisprudence, it was ordered to be pro-rated among those lodges whjch had contributed the fund. MASONIC SERVICE ASSOCIATION. The Grand Master says: A careful study of the reports and proceedings has failed to convince me that there is a nced for an organization of this character. For more than three-quarters' of a century, Masonry in Wisconsin has developed .and thrived under policies and principles which have proven themselves sound. Peace and harmony prevail, and I cannot bring myself to believe that we would be justUl.M in aftlliatlng 'ourselves in the slightest degree with this organization.

The report of the Finance Committee, which was adopted, recommends that Grand Lodges, members of-the association, appropriate annually a sum equal to five cents per capita upon their respective memberships. If Wisconsin were to become a member of this -association, it would mean that this Grand Lodge would be obliged to appropriate $2,000.00 per year, to b'e disbursed under the direction of brethren in nowise accountable to this Grand Lodge; and if the Masonic Service Association is to exercise any direction or control over Grand Lodges which enter into it, it becomes a menace to their sovereignty. I, therefore, recommend that the Grand I,odge of Wisconsin does not affilin te with or officially recognize the Masonic Service Association.

NEW LODGES. Dispensations were granted for the formation of four new lodges. SOLICITING .INSURANCE IN LODGE ROOMS. R路eferring to this the Grand Master says: "Masters of Lodges have and should exercise their power in prohibiting such un-Masonic practice". He 'quotes the following from the Constitution: "This Grand I,odge has in no manner authorized and is in no way responsible for the creation of insurance companies or mutual benefit associations called ~Iasonic; neither is' ii legally nor morally responsible for any agreement, contract or other act of such associations. "Any Mason in this jurisdiction who shall make rep~esen~.ations in conflict" . with the above declaration, to induce any person to join 路o~ 'be~gme interested in' . , any SU~h company or association is hereby declared guilty of un-M~sonic con路 . duct."

Speaking on the CONDITION OF THE CRAFT, the .Grand Master says: Character is to Masonry what the foundation is tq the. superstructure of a building; for upon the路 solidity of the foundation depends the life of the structure erected thereon. A qualitative therefore, rather than a quantitative note, should be the dominant factor; for while it is pleasing to gain In numerical strength, it is vastly more important that we attain the highest possible mental and moral strength; it is not a question of how many, but how excellent, and of what sterling qualities are those who come seeking admission. We are not living in an ordinary age, and none of us will deny the tendency' to relax. Never in the history of our country or in the world, h~ there been a time when sober and constructive til.inking have been as necessary aA wUl be required in the next decade. Storm clouds may gather in the days that are before us. Social and national backslidings may for a time impede the trend of progress; but it' Masons hold fast to the high ideals set for their guidance, they may cOUnt the gains of each solar year with its cycle of sowing, reaping, seed time and harvest, and marching onward and upward shall emerge in the great vanguard of humanity, our faces set toward the land of promise.

MASONIC HOME. o The per capita at 50 cents yielded $19,325.50, and the Building Fund $1.00 special brought in $38,651.00. The br~tl~~en are anxoious to get a start on the building at thei~ new Home, but general conditions forbid this for the pre~ent. THE GRAND SECRETARY. Rt. Wor. Brother Wm. W. p.erry, in presenting his twentieth Annual report, called attention to the fact th~t he had been a regular attendant on the Grand Lodge sessions since 1883, and thanked the brethren for their continual ~ourtesy to him. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENC~. on Correspondence is from the ~killed pen of M. W. Brother Aldro Jenks, P. G. M. It is his twenty-third, and is equal if not superior to any that has preceded it. The report occupies some hundred and fifty pages, and is filled with the salient happenings in the various jurisdictions reviewed. Missouri is treated most courte~usly as usual, in more than three pages. Brother Jenks finds something to praise our Committee on Appeals and Grievances in the "Jenkins Case", which will be remembered by all those who attended our session of 1919. o As usual Brother- Jenks has a kindly word for the Correspondent, and conc~ud-es with an invitation to us to attend any Jodge in: Wisconsin when a third degree is conferred, promising that t)J.ere will be neither la:ck of ~raternal spi~it nor the absep.ce of a banquet. We wish that circumstances were such that we could accept the invitation. ~he ~:eport

noted. The first is for constituting a lodge, and the others for the laying of corner stones for High School Builq~ngs. Ceremonies in Full Form in every case. FIFTY-SIXTH ANNUAL COMMUNICATION of the Grand Lodge of Wyoming was opened in Ample Form in the town of Buffalo, Wednesday, September 8th, 1920, at 9 o'clock A. M.

ADDRESS OF WELCOME. The Grand Lodge was welcomed i'l an eloquent and cordial address, by Worshipful Charles W. Hill, which was responded to in fitting terms by Brother Peter S. Cook. After some minor items of business, the Grand Master delivered his ANNUAL ADDRESS. In beginning the Annual Address, which covers 22 pages, the Grand Master introduces an episode, impressive in character. He calls the Grand Lodge to attention, and asks them to stand wtth bowed heads while paying tribute to a member of the Grand ,Lodge, Brother, M. C. Agnew, Worshipful Master of Harmony Lodge, No. 24, who had passed away since the last Communication. He delivers an earnest eulogy upon his character as a man and a Mason: , Continuing his address, the Grand Master speaks as follows: It is difficult to say just why, since the close of the great struggle in Europe, so many of our men, and especially the younger lRen wh.o took a part in the great struggle,are petitioning for the degrees of Masonry. Perhaps the unrest which we know is so widespread through our nation and throughout the world is causing men to seek membership in an institution, worldwide in Its scope and standing as does Masonry for brotherhood an_d the higher things of life, for a square deal between all men, for justice, for honor' aRd for righteousness. Perhaps they desire to defiuitely align themselves with an organization which has stood throughout Iro many ag~. I have stated to many lodges in my visits to them during the past year that, to' my mind, Masonry would be the great stabilizing influence of the world during the next few years, the rock upon which the waves of unrest in our own and iQreign countries would beat in

MASONIC SERVICE ASSOCIATION. The Grand Ma'ster' calls attention to the fact that Wyoming has become a member of this Association, and states, that having, attended the Annual Me,eting, 'he was thoroughly convinced that there was no danger whatever of an' attempt to form a Supreme Grand Lodge, and' he ,commends the purpose and work' of' this Asso-

ciation in high terms. He calls 'attention to the Divisional Meet· 'ing to be held in Denver, September the '18th~ at which he hopes Wyoming will be strongly represented. The Grand Master granted only two Dispensations, the l)urpose of the last of which we shall introduce later, as it relates to, a mattter of considerable interest. VISITATIONS. ,The Grand Master relates in detail his pleasant experiences in eighteen offiCial visitations made during the year. Everywhere he was most cordially received, and entertained with all the con· siderai-ion due to his position, together with a Fraternal kindness natural to the Brotherhood.

DECISIONS. . The Grand Master pres~nts 'a list of 22 decisions, all of which were approved by the Committee on Jurisprudence, and which we cordially approve, especially those relating to physical disability; in which the Grand Master adhers to our Ancient Landmarks. RECOMMENDATION. The Grand Master speaks wisely with reference to the fact that, ae-cording to the custom of Wyoming, the Grand Master-elect really nominates his successor in office, eight years later. This he considers altoget1l'er wrong, and insists that the Grand Lodge ,should always have several members eligible to the office {)f grand Master, or Deputy Grand Master, and alludes in terms of commen· dation to the custom of the Grand Lodge of Iowa, which elects its three principal officers' fro~ the floor every year, no one being eligible who h~s held office the preceding year. The subject is somewhat complicated, and we make no comment. INDEPENDENCE ROCK. A special Dispensation of the Grand Master to Casper Lodge, No. 15, to hold a memorial service upon Independence Rock on July 4th, 1920, gave oce-asion for one of the most interesting incidents in the· htstory of Wyoming '[i'ireemasonry. This rock has considerable elevation above the surrounding plain, with a depression on its surface sufficient to accommodate a number of men, and here the first lodge meeting in what is now the State of Wyo· ming was held by twenty Master Masons, July the 4th, 1862. These were traveling with an emigrant train westward on the old Oregon Trail, and had stopped here to rest for a time.

176

, Appendix.

{~ept.

The meeting for which the Special Dispensation was granted was at~ended by some two hundred Masons, representing several, states, and many of those in attendance were men of eminence in their respedive localities. Among the items of interest in connectiOIi with this meeting, is the fact that the same Bible was used which was opened upon the stone 'altar in the Mst meeting in 1862. There were several addresses of great interest, and altogether the, occasion was most impressive. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE. Brother Joseph M. Lowndes gives us an excellent report coverin.g one hundred' pages, of which two are accorded to Missouri, with nQ criticism whatever. He compliments the Correspondent with a selection from his introduction to the report of 1920. For which thanks. We regret not to have included Wyoming-in our reviews last year, and o~r explanation is that we did not receive the Pr?ce~di~~s in time.

The cost of maintenance has been reduced, but not as much as we had hoped for. The large numbers in the Hospital has, what we all know, added to our general average. The best of care is given to all, our purchases and every detail is carefully scrutinized so that the totals are kept at the minimum and up to the high standard that the Home has always maintained in the past. The Directors, ever mindful of the trust placed in their hands, are guarding the same with zeafous care. ORDER OF THE EASTERN STAR

The Advisory Board have not been idle in the pas.t year and have added to the beauty. and comfort of the old and young, having repainted the dormitories of the Administration Building, cleaned the walls of the lower floors and dining room and pur-

PERMANENT IMPROVEMENTS

In the past year a garage was built and iron railings placed on the East wall. Also, just completing a tunnel from the Power house to the Hospital Building in which all heating and water pipes are placed. This has long been needed; continuous breaking of water mains and heating pipes causing repeated digging up and replacing. Will save the Home much expense in the future

IN CONCLUSION

We sincerely hope that every one in attendance at this session of the Grand Lodge will consider it his duty to visit the Home and see the good work that is being accomplished in caring for the sick. and infirm Old Brothers and Sisters, and the Orphans. So that when you go home you can carry to those who did not have this opportunity, the good news that a greater monoment for Masonry has never been built, and may the blessing of God rest upon each one, is my wish.

REPORT OF EXECUTIVE COMMIITEE August 18, 1921.

Mr. Sol E. Waggoner, President of the Masonic Home Board, St. Louis, Missouri. My Dear Brother Waggoner: The year just closing has been one demanding the best and most sincere thought, not only of the Executive Committee, but also the full Masonic Home Board. Many questions of vital importance to the Home, the most unique of all charitable institutions, have presented themselves for solution. As the Executive Committee meets twice to where the full Board meets once, it naturally follows that it is to a great extent, the guiding spirit of the Home. On it devolves the duty of keeping informed as to the needs of the members of the Home family, careing for their comfort and happiness, and making a complete report to the full Board at its regular quarterly meetings. How well our labor has been performed will be demonstrated probably in the near future. de To give anything like a detailed statement of the Comm"itte'e's activities would necessarily be a repetition .of the matters w='hi~h will be properly embodied in y~nr~ report, as President of the Home Board, to the Grand Lodge. Having been present at each meeting of the Committee, you are familiar with all its action~ and your report will cover the same. .It il:!l thought, however, well to emphasize that: The fraternity is growing. The Home family is growing. r.J;he responsibilities of the Directors are increasing. The motherly interest and kindly administrations of the Eastern Star advisory members are never ceasing and are a like heipful to the old and young members of our family. And the demands for increased revenue has been advancing for years. But, thanks be to the wisdom and generosity of the members composing the Grand Lodge at its last communication, .~pparently ample provisiop. was made by the adoption of the law' relating to Initiations and Affiliations, to meet the financial needs of the Home for many years. By its action the, Grand Lodge removed the few scattered clouds in the sky over the Home and left the Boarq free to devote its time and energy to the care of our de路 pendents, rather than worrying about meeting the necessary financial obligations.

As an humble member of the Board, and Chairman of. its Executive Committee, I cannot refrain from expressing my personal opinion that there never was less of doubt and uncertainty connected with, or a more promising and happy outlook for this beloved institution than exists at this time.

ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE REPORT August 15th, 1921.

S oZ. E. J,Vaggoner. President Aiasonic Home of Missouri.

Dear Sir and ,Brother: Your Committee on Administration beg leave to submit the following report: We view with pride the splendid success of the present Administration of the affairs of the Masonic Home. We have, at various intervals, visited and conversed with many of the old people in the Home and' must say that, we are agreeably surprised to find so few complaints. In fact, none of importance. We have investigated the matter of making purchases for the Home and are of the opinion that the Manager and Matron of the children are handling tnis department in a most excellent and satisfactory manner. Their efforts in this line, in our opinion, have never been equaled. Certainly never excelled since our connection with the Board. We are of the further opinion that the Masonic Home Board and the Masonic Fraternity are to 'be congratulated on having such an able, earnest, zealous and conscientious Manager and Assistants. In the death of our good Brother Dr. Robinson, the Home sustained a great loss. The loss is not measured in an official capacity alone, but as a true friend as well. We believe, however, that Dr. Rice will prov~ to be a worthy successor. We leave the discipline of the' Home for the report of the House Committee. Fraternally subm,itted, JOHN T. SHORT, Chairman D.

REPORT OF HOUSE COMMITTEE St. Louis, Mo., September 1, 1921.

Sol E. f;Vaggoner, Esq., President Masonic II orne, St. Louis. Mo.

Dear Sir and Brother: In behalf of the House Committee, I submit the following report for the year ending September 1, 1921: During the last year the House Committee has held its usual monthly meetings. There was no occasion for any special meetings; nevertheless, the House Committee has kept in touch with the affairs of the Home through the President and the Matrons. By reason of their efficient conduct of the practicable work of the Home, the House Committee has been relieved of a great deal of work. By the death of Most Worshipful Brother Jacob Lampert on February 19, 1921, a vacancy on said Committee has existed since that day. His cheerful word and sympathetic heart have been much missed at the meetings of the House Committee. . A vacancy on this Committee was also occasio?-ed by the resig;. nation of Mrs. Ethel C. Stansbury, who, on account of her health, retired from the advisory Board as weU' as the House Committee. We owe her a debt of gratitude for most valuable work done by her on this Committee. She wa::; sllcceeded on this. Committee' by her worthy successors, Mrs. Bader and Mrs. Ambruster. They have been a great assistance to the House Committee in solving many problems which have come before it and we dare say will continue their great work in the interest of the Home. This report would not be complete without a mention of the St. Louis Christmas Committe~, which has, during the last year, added so much to the joy and happiness of the members of our Home. Again we extend the thanks of this Committee to the various Masonic and Eastern Star bodies and individuals throughout the State, who have added so much pleasure and comfort to the lives of the members of our Home.

HOSPITAL REPORT St. Louis, Mo., August 13, 1921. Mr. Sol E. vVaggoner, I'rfsident, Masonic H O~lle of Missouri. Dear Sir and Brother: In making this report I feel a great diffidence, for I am filling the place of one who for long years made these reports and most efficiently carried on the health work in the Horne. During recent years it was my privilege to work with him, to take his place during unavoidable absences, and to know what a wonderful man he really was. In the death of Dr. A. C. Robinson the Home suffered what still seems an almost irreparable loss. The Medical Staff, the Officers, Nurses, family and the friends generally are giYing me every help and encouragement in my endeavor to conduct the health work in the Home as efficiently as he did, and I have constantly before me his wonderful example and his happy personality. In taking up the work where Dr. Robinson left it, and working with the Medical Staff, they may have felt that they were more called upon for service than is normal; if so, they have made me feel that such service was most gladly given. At no point have they failed me, and I am deeply indebted to them for actual service rendered and for counsel and advice given when problems arose. In a peculiar sense such an institution as ours is dependent on its Nurses; we are a large family where each and all stay under one roof, there is none of the coming and going which makes the modern hospital and allows for its strict discipline. Only a c,onsiderable degree of altruism keeps our nurses with us, for they could have greater freedom and less responsibility elsewhere. This especially applies to Miss Hazard, who so tactfully supernitends the nurses and oversees the carryi'ng out of all medical and surgical orders. Next to Miss Hazard, the smooth running of the Hospital is associated with the presence and assistance of Mrs. Collins, Matron for the Old People. Naturally, the large proportion of those in the hospital are old, and the close association of these people with their Matron and her active and intelligent interest in all that concerns their welfare makes for smooth running in many circumstances where there might be difficulties. At all times I have been in close touch with the Officers and have found they were always ready to aid me, for which I am deeply . grateful.

During the year there has been no epidemic of virulence. The number of infectious diseases has been below the normal. The mortality. seems about normal. The deaths were a matter of the aged who died "full of years." We are gratified that our children continue so splendidly well and that by watchful care we are able to keep them so. We have had several cases of serious sickness among them, but, fortunately, none have resulted fatally. Total average in hospital this year Total average in hosital last year

REPORT OF ATTORNEYS St. Louis, Mo., Sept. 1, 1921. S of E. TVaggoner, Esq President Masonic H ante, St. Louis, Mo. Dear Sir and Brother: We hereby submit our report as Attorneys for the Masonic Home of Missouri, for the year ending September 1, 1921. Since our last report, one year ago, we have at various times passed upon different matters appertaining to the administration of the legal affairs of the Home. We have not, however, during the last year tried any cases in which the Home was a party or directly interested. Only one suit is now pending in which the Home is directly interested: that is the Suit of EI!e Van Raalte, et al vs. Rosa Graff, et aI, now pending in the Circuit Court of the City of St. Louis, and is known as the Jacob Lampert Will Contest Case. Most Worshipful Brother, Jacob Lampert, died ,in the City of St. Louis, Missouri, on February 19, 1921, leaving a last路 will and testament which was on the 23rd, day of February, 1~21, duly pro.bated in the Probate Court of the City of St. Louis. By this will he gave to ~arious individuals and institutions different sums of money, the 路largest of which was the bequest of $25,000.00 to the Masonic Home of Missouri. After making these specific bequests to various institutions and individuals amounting in the aggregate to sixty-five or seventy thousand dollars, he bequeathed and devised all the balance and remainder of his estate to his sister, Mrs. Rosa Graff, of St. Louis, Missouri. Within a few weeks after the probating of this will, a suit was instituted by his neices and nephews contesting the will. The only ground of contest alleged is that his sister, RO.3a Graff, poisoned his mind against his nieces and nephews and thereby induced him to give the bulk of his estate to her. The case is now set for October 10, 1921 in the Circuit Court of 'the City of St. Louis. We feel hopeful of winning this case and, in such event, there will be the additional sum of $25,000.00 added to the Jacob Lampert Endowment Fund of the Home. In pursuance of your request, we submit below a form of will which may be used in the event that anyone should desire to make bequests or devises to the Masonic Home. It is as follows, to-wit:

REPORT OF ADVISORY COMMITTEE. St. Louis, Mo., August 20, 1921.

Mr. Sol. E. Waggoner, President, Mason·ic Home Board, St. Louis, A1issouri.

i •

DEAR SIR AND BJ<OTHER:

We, the Advisory Board of the Masonic Home, submit the following report of the activities of this Board for the year ending September 1,' 1921. The Advisory Board this year is a new one, with the exception of Sister Flanders, who has been your co-worker for two previous years, so we wish to thank you personally for your co-operationand assistance in all branches of the work assigned us, and for the courtesies extended to us by all m.embers of the Masonic Home Board.· In Unity there is Strength, and our policy is to be co-workers with the Great Brotherhood, in the service of Humanity. Some of the expenditures of the past year are as follows: We have decorated and completely renewed the entire Administration Building, including the Children's quarters, replenishing and furnishing wherever, needed, together with renovating draperies and renewing upholstery., . We have supplied table and bed linen, towels, rugs and dishes, New Year's dinner, ca~h gift to the young and old at Christmas time, and many useful gifts have been sent direct to the Mas'Onic Home by the O. E. S. Chapters. We have also supplied the sewing room with new Singer Sewing Machines. It would be impossible for us to enumerate all that has been done by the Eastern Star, as we have not at this time a compiled record of the gifts placed in the Home by our Order. Suffice it to say that the Eastern Star stands ready and willing to- respond to every call or demand made upon us. We of the Advisory Board are now planning on furnishing the newly acquired addition, "The Jewish Hospital" purchased by the last Grand Lodge, and we feel sure that we will be In a position at that time to meet every need of the Home in the way of furnishing the new part and renewing the furnishings of the entire group of buildings. We have at all times found the matrons, Mrs. Waller and Mrs. Collins, ready and willing to co-operate with us in our work, which assistance is greatly appreciated and acknowledged.

We wish to express our sym;pathy in the great loss the Board has sustained in the death of two of its valued m.embers, Brother Jacob Lampert, and Brother James W. Boyd, also the loss of Dr. A. C. Robinson, the Home Physician. These brethren have been greatly missed by all. In conclusion, Brother Waggoner, we, each of us, separately and collectively, wish to express to every member of the Masonic Home Board our grateful appreciation of the many courtesies extended to us, and our prayer is for the continued success of the management of the Masonic Home. Fraternally submitted, ELLA JEAN FLANDERS,

LETIER TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FROM THE MATRON OF THE CHILDREN One year as Matron of our Masonic Home Children has proven to m.e that it is possible to become engrossed in work to the exclusion of time. It is almost impossible to believe that weeks and months have merged into a year. It has been a happy year. The pleasant duties so far outnumbered the unpleasant that the latter were soon forgotten. Each child has its individual place in my life, and it isa joy untold to feel that each one looks to me for help, love and sympathy. We have just cause to be proud of the records of our children in the various schools. A Masonic Home Girl made the highest grade in Grammar School; our Junior girl received special honor; and our graduates from Soldan High, Rubicams Business College and Ranken Trade SChDOI deserve much praise for their splendid work. The vacation and hot weather problem was solved by the organization of a needle-craft club by the third floor girls and many pretty and useful articles have been made. We have been so royally entertained all through the year, that scarcely a week has passed without a gala day. The Annual picnic to Jennings, the Rotary Club picnic, and the Pilgrim Lodge U. D. picnic at .Jefferson Barracks were days long to be remembered. The Automobile Club, the Weber Co., and the St. Louis Lodge No. 20 added hours of pleasure with drives through the parks and county. The Shrine and Grotto Orchestras have been untiring in furnishing music for our various Home Parties. They were both present Christmas day and the night, Mrs. Falkenhainer, assisted by the Temple Club, gave th~ May party. The Christmas Committee followed their usual Gustom and generously remembered us each holiday with appropriate. gifts. Between holidays they took us to shows, boat excursions, the circus and the annual watermelon feast. They fitted our boys with baseball suits and complete outfits. In fact, the committee does so much for us we are unable to reo member all. The donations from all over the state have been too numerous to m.ention; howev~r, the true value of each is appreciated. The Advisory BoardU. E. S. had the interior of the Administration Building paint~d or washed and the draperies cleaned. They, are looking after our C6mfort in th-eir usual cheery and substantial way.

, 'We owe much to our former Physician, Dr. A. C. Robinson, whom the Master called Home early in January, and to our present Physician, Dr. D. F. Rice and the Head Nurse, Miss T. E. Hazard, and her assistants. Many serious cases of pneumonia, diptheria, and other contagimis"diseases have been handled without the loss of one. It is with a sad heart' that I mention the death of oneo! our ,girls, June Carney. She left'us in perfect health to visit her grand路 mother' at Crane, Mo., and while there passed to the Great Beyond. It is hard for us to realize that June will not be with us again. We can only bow our heads in humble submission to "God who doeth all things well," for it was He who called June Home. To the President and the Board of Directors I wish to express my heartfelt thanks and assure you, if the past year holds one little bit of success in my work, it is entirely due to the loyal support of the Board and timely and helpful suggestions from the President. Fraternally, WILMOTH WALLER, Ma.tron.

LETTER TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FROM THBl MATRON OF THE OLD PEOPLE -,', It seems almost but yesterday tha,(we' gave you a reVi~w,' of IblPr" yearly work, as time passes so quickly: and yet, when look back and see all that has happened, those that have gone, f~b"m us and new faces come to fill the vacant chairs, we are aware that twelve months have passed, and it Is time for angther record. The year has been one mingle'd with pleasu;~and sorrow. Every day. we are remind,ed of the passing away of Dr. C. Rob'inson, our Home Physician, by the loss of his friendly smile a.nd goodly council, as it had to be. We are sure there has been no mistak~' made by your selection to fill the vacancy. Dr. D. F. Rice has found a warm place in the hearts of our old people; is untiring in his efforts to serve them, both in a professional and thoughtful manner. Our old people have had their usual number of outings and entertainments by \he Christmas Committee, Past Matrons and Past Patrons. The ever expected Ferguson pi~nic was a grand success. A most deligh1,ful picnic given the Home Family by Pilgrim LQdge, being different and unique in its manner, was enjoyed by all. Our entertamQrs are getting to be so numerous, it is impossible

to elaborate on each one, but in behalf of the old folks, we wish to express their gratitude to each and everyone that has contributed to their pleasure and comfort during the year. We are enjoying two new clocks, giying the co~rect time; one in the dining room, the other in the old peoples' building, presented by the Past Matrons and Past Patrons qub. Quite a number have been on vacations, not as many as usual. The ~ummer being long and continuously warm has been hard on many and finds them in a wee.kened condition. Our Home Family numbers about One Hundred and seventy seven at this time,' with about sixty-five of these in the Hospital and being well cared' for by the daily visits of our Home Physician and able corps of nurses. During the year the Grand officers of the O. E. S. had lunch with the old people and held an informal reception with short talks. All expressed having had a most delightful day and one long to be remembered. We could not close without referring to the passing away of our faithful Directors on the Board during the year. We are ever reminded of Brother Lampert, who was always with our faithful H5use Committee and ready at all times to lend a helping hand. Also, Brothers Boyd and !Hough, whose coming always brought a wOfr1 ,of "\~ncouragement ~nd,.~oo<~ cheer. Our loss is their gain and we. think of each, one of the"mas assisting on a higher and grander Board. '1' '6 the Board of Directors and House Committee, I wish to express my gratitrlde for your loyal support in my feeble manner of my work d~ring'the year, and may I ever be careful and mindful of your "trust. . .
