REPORT ON CORRESPONDENCE To the Most W'orshipful Grand Master, and Grand Lodge A. F. & A. M. of Missouri:

We present you herewith our Annual Report on Correspondence, with the assurance that every volume of proceedings reaching our table has met with respectful consideration, and that we have noted herein the more important facts and incidents reported from the various Grand Jurisdictions, omitting with regret many items of interest and much of high sentiment, because of our limitations in space. THE MASONIC SERVICE ASSOCIATION So far as our information justifies the statement it would seem that this Institution is not yet assured of a permanent place in our Masonic World as was at one time anticipated. In some quarters it is recognized with indifference, not to say open opposition, and some hold and express the opinion that its' sphere of operation is too limited to warrant the expenditure of time, talent, and money necessary for its maintenance. We are free to say, however, that should it pass into oblivion, it has yet accomplished a good result in awakening a widespread interest in Masonic Education, as to the history, principles and purpose of our great order. THE KU KLUX KLAN. So far as we have noted am.ong the various Grand Jurisdictions those recognizing the Klan in any way repudiate all connection with it, officially or socially, and some denounce it in very strong terms. AN ERA OF CRIME.

From many Grand Jurisdictions, either in the Address of the Grand Master, or in reports of committees, we find a recognition of the general lawlessness which, dating in measure from the close of the Great War, still continues with little, if any abatement. In this respect we compare most unfavorably with other nations, most of whom show far more respect. for law and order than Our own boasting land. This constitutes a dark page in our national history which future generations will read with profound regret.

HIGHER DEGREES. From most of our Grand Jurisdictions there comes a note of regret, if not of strong complaint, that Ancient Craft Masonry no longer commands that respect and veneration which is really its due. It is the foundation and mother of all. Strictly speaking, there are no "higher degrees," and we say this with all' possible respect for other bodies in which we enjoy membership. But we cannot consent that the Lodge 'should be considered as a mere ante room or introduction to that which is esteemed higher and better, and he who hurries through the sacred precincts of the Lodge room without beholding the form and beauty thereof, and steadily looking to the plume and the fez which loom up before his imagination, is not likely to become a Freemason in the highest sense of that term. STATISTICS. We have appended an additional item to our Report concerning the Masonic Relief Association of the United States and Canada, Jogether with a list of Boards of Relief and Employment Bureaus, which will, we believe, be of assistance to our Brethren in Missouri. Respectfully submitted: C. ,C. WOODS, ARTHUR MATHER.

Gain, 2,()()O. The Proceedings of the Grand Lod'ge of Alabama for 19'23 are contained in a well-arranged volume of some 50() pages, enriched by speaking likenesses of the Grand Master and the Grand Secretary, accompanied by excellent sketches of their many and varied attainments. Three Special Communications of the Grand Lodge are also recorded, two for funeral purposes connected with the passing of Past Grand Masters Daniel A. Greene and Ben M. Jacobs, and one for the dedication of the new Masonic Temple at Birmingham. The latter, judging from the record, must have been a great occasion, for we note that the Grand Lodge was opened in four different halls of the building simultaneously, the Grand Master presiding in the small auditorium, the Deputy Grand Master and the two Grand Wardens officiating in a similar capacity on the first, second and third floors of the new building, respectively. ANNUAL COMMUNICATION. The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Alabama commenced its One Hun· dred and Third Annual Communication in the Masonic Temple in· the City of Montgomery, on the morning of Wednesday, at nine o'clock, on the fifth day of December, A. D. 1923, A. L. 5923. The M.·. W ... -Grand Lodge was opened in Ample Form by the M.·.W ...Grand Master. Prayer by the R.·. W .'. and Reverend Grand Chaplain. REGRETS. Letters to the Grand Lodge from Brothers Louis J. Wright and William E. Bingham, stating their regrets at not being able to be present in the Grand Lodge by reason of illness in their families, were read and the Grand Secretary was requested to express the sympathy of the Grand Lodge to these brethren and the prayer that their loved ones would be be speedily restored to health.

THE ADDRESS OF 'THE GRAND MASTER. is an interesting document which sets forth the various acts of his administration in clear fashion, and indicates something of the wonderful progress which is being made. by the Craft in his Grand Jurisdiction. A quotation from the opening paragraph of the Address is interesting. The Grand Master says: The business of the Grand Lodge of Alabama has grown to such enormous proportions that it was necessary for me to give almost my undivided time in the administration of its affairs. I have endeavored to conduct the affairs of the Grand Lodge with dignity and dispatch, and if I have, in a measure, served you in such a manner as to meet with your approval, then I shall feel that my labors have been fraught with much good. I will ever feel grateful to the great Brotherhood of Alabama for the confidence they placed in me by elevating me to the office of Gran~ Master. It has afforded me 'an avenue for service that could not possibly be reached by any other channel. Universal kindness and consideration has been shown me throughout my official career. The old friends that I have had the pleasure of associating with and the new ones that I have made are memories too sweet to be erased by the passing years. Masonry stands for all that is good and great in our national life and I consider it a great privilege to be numbered as a member of this sacred band. In my visitations I have gone to practically every section of this Grand .Jurisdiction. but was forced to decline many, many invitations, all of which were duly appreciated.

Several Dispensations for the formation of new Lodges were granted, and eight new Lodges were constituted during the year. A number of Special Dispensations were granted for removing physical disqualifications, and others for sundry purposes â&#x20AC;˘ caused by local circumstances. CHARTERS ARRESTED. Three Charters were arrested, one for holding an election of officers prior to the constitutional time, another for "railroading" candidates, and the third for violating territorial jurisdiction. INTERSTATE COURTESIES. The Grand Master reports many requests from other Jurisdictions to have degrees conferred, and says: "All requests were promptly complied with." NECROLOGY. The list of the Fraternal Dead this year contains several prominent names, including those of the Reverend Doctor William Carey

1924.]

Appendix.

Bledsoe, for forty-six years the Grand Chaplain of the Grand Lodge of Alabama, and Past Grand Masters Daniel Arthur Greene and Ben Moses Jacobs. Of these the Grand Master speaks as follows: The Death Angel visited our family circle and struck from the roll of the living our venerable and beloved Brother, William Carey Bledsoe, Right Worshipful and Reverend Grand Chaplain, which sad. event occurred January 25, 1923. Brother Bledsoe was appointed Grand Chaplain in the year in which lj was born and his Forty-Six years of continuous service to the Grand Lodge of Alabama is without a parallel. . On June 16, 1923, the great soul of Past Grand Master Daniel Arthur Greene winged its flight and is now with the Blessed Immanuel. Brother Greene served the Grand Lodge of Alabama as Grand Master with distinction and at the time of his death was a member of the Jurisprudence Committee and a member of the Board of Trustees of the Alabama Masonic Home. On July 11, Past Grand Master Ben Moses Jacobs departed this life for that country from whose bourne no traveler returns. Brother Jacobs as Grand Master made the Alabama Masonic Home possible and was a life member of the Board of Trustees.

In the case of Dr. Bledsoe we believe that there is just one other instance of a Grand Chaplain serving as long or longer, namely that of the Reverend Doctor J. R. N. Bell, Grand Chaplain of the Grand Lodge of Oregon. If we remember correctly, Dr. Bell is credited with forty-seven years of service. He also has the distinction of being an Honorary Past Grand Master of his Grand Lodge. Dr. Bledsoe was a remarkable man, and doubtless our Committee on Necrology will furnish our readers with fuller information concerning his great services to the Craft and humanity. VISIT OF THill GOVERNOR. Brother William W. Brandon, Governor of Alabama, was introduced, conducted to a seat in the East, and in response to the welcome of the Grand Master, made an eloquent address. READ THIS! Most Worshipful Brother James A. Bilbro read the following address, to which was appended the signatures of all the living Past Grand Masters of Grand Lodge, together with that of the Grand Master:

To the M.:. W.路. Grand Master, Grand Wardens, Officers and Brethren of the Grand Lodge, A.'. F.'. & A.'. M.路. of the State of Alabama, and the Brethren of its Masonic Jurisdiction: There is an effort to make it appear-it may be there are Masons who think-that Masonry does not believe or teach that God is Love; or that He is merciful; or that He is Truth; or that He is our Almighty Father; or that He cares for us. In other words, the effort is to make it appear that Masonry, as an organization, has no conception or faith whatever as to the attributes of God. We believe that such doctrine is utterly repulsive to the Masonic conscience of more than ninety-nine per cent of the Masons of our jurisdiction; but fbr the glory of God in Masonry, and the honor of our First Great Light in its teachings as to God, and for the integrity of our work and ceremonies, we deem it proper to express our dissent from such unholy propaganda, and to "arn our brethren against its vicious and destructive influence. To affirm that Masonry has no thought or belief as to the character of God; no thought or belief as to His having a loving and merciful regard for man; that it has no thought or belief as to His hearing our prayers in our work and ceremonies, is to affirm that God in Masonry is without any gracious attribute to beget for Him our love, adoration, praise and worship. Not only this, but such doctrine is a distinct avowal that the use of the Bible as our First Great Light and as the rule and guide to our faith, and that all our ceremonies that teach of the Love and Mercy of God, are Wholly without Masonic sanction. Brethren, the God in Masonry, in whom we trust, is a God of Love, of Mercy and Truth; a God who cares for us; a God who desires that we should reverence and adore Him and love each other. This is the God of whom Masonry spoke to our Masonic fathers in ages past, and of whom Masonry speaks to us today. and we humbly offer Him our JM:asonic reverence and praise. \Ve are in no sense offending the rule in Masonry that forbids discussion of matters of religion, for the reason that Masonry does not forbid a discussion of principles fundamental in its organization. God is the corner stone of Masonry. He always was and always will be. He is so firmly fixed in Masonry that it is required of everyone to affirm that his trust is in Him, before he can be admitted to Masonry. It is therefore not only permissible, but it is our Masonic duty, whilst some are seeking to show that, God, in Masonry, is destitute of love and mercy, to declare that Masonry believes and teaches that God is Love; that He is Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent; and that His tender mercies and loving kindnesses to us are from everlasting to' everlasting. That Masonry believes Him to be just such a God as this. has been its glory and help in ages past, and is its hope for years to come. This faith. above all other considerations. has given power to the clearly taught tenet in Masonry of the Fatherhood of God and

the' Brotherhood of man, and it is deplorable that any effort whatever sho1,lld be made to destroy it.

There are many other matters of interest which occurred at this session of the Grand Lodge, but our limited space forbids a more extended quotation. GEORGE WASHINGTON MEMORIAL ,AND MASONIC SERVICE ASSOCIATION. The Grand Lodge is doing its duty in regard to the George Washington Memorial, and is sympathetic to the appeal of the Masonic Service Association, but for reasons which are wellfounded, and largely financial, the Grand Lodge does not at this time deem it wise to rejoin the Association. FOREIGN CORRES,PONDENCE. The Report on Foreign Correspondence this year is from the pen of a new Correspondent, Brother Fred Wall. He succeeds a man who has gained a wide reputation as a Masonic author, R. W. Brother Oliver Day Street, and recognizes the seriousness of his task. Brother Wall, however, need have no fear, as his Report is very worthy. Missouri is generously treated in something more than two pages, which reflect the pleasure of our 192'2 session at which JudgeO. A. Lucas presided.

FORTY-FIRST ANNUAL COMMUNICATION. The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Arizona commenced its Forty-first Annual Communication in the Masonic Hall in the City of Prescott on the 13th day of February, 1923, at 10 o'clock A. M. There being a sufficient representation the M ... W .'. Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Arizona was opened in Ample Form with prayer by the Orand Chaplain and music by the choir. RECEPTION OF ILLUSTRIOUS VISITORS. W. Brother Sir Gilbert Parker (Baronet), Past Senior Grand Deacon of the M. W. United Grand Lodge of England and Grand Representative of the M. W. Orand Lodge of Arizona near the M. W. United Grand Lodge of England, was introduced by P. G. M. Bro. Morris Goldwater,Grand Representative of the M. W. United Grand Lodge of England near the. M. W. Grand Lodge of Arizona, received with the Grand Honors 'and escorted to a seat near the Grand East. M. W. Brother William Frederick Kuhn, Past Grand Master of the M. W. Grand Lodge of Missouri, and Brother Charles A. Conover, General Grand Secretary of the M. E. Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons of the United States of America, were introduced by P. G. M. Bro. Rickmer N. Fredericks, received with the Grand Honors and escorted to seats near the Grand East. M. W. Brother Francis E. Lester, Past Grand Master of the M. W. Grand Lodge of New Mexico was introduced by P. G. M. Bro. Anthony A. Johns, received with the Grand Honors and escorted to a seat near the Grand East. During the Session these Illustrious Brothers severally addressed the Grand Lodge on subjects of interest to the Fraternity. Among the items of interest transpiring during the session was the following allusion in the Address of the Grand Master to the KU KLUX KLAN. He says: During the year my attention has been called to the activities throughout the state of an organization known as the Ku Klux Klan, and I have been asked to define the attitude of Masonry toward the Klan as an organization als well as urged to take some action as Grand Master to prevent members of路 the Masonic fraternity holding membership in the Klan. I have given the question careful consideration and in my judgment the best policy seemed to be one of passive resistance, or a.t least "hands off" until the 80-

1924.J

Appendix.

called Klan had had an opportunity to demonstrate that it was inimical to Masonry, or the fact that a Mason by reason of his membership in the Klan. if such did exist, was thereby bringing the fraternity into disrepute. Masonry is constitutionally opposed to mob violence or unlawful acts of any kind and her attitude as relates to Law and Order too well known to need defining, I could therefore see no good reason why I should mix in the controversy and place our Order in a questionable po,sition by giving undue attention to an evident attempt to mix Masonry up with something in which she had no interest. Neither could I find any law or authority by which I, as Grand Master, could forbid any member of the fraternity joining any other organization if he so desired. The only question to be decided was whether such membership brought the Order in to disrepute, and that could only be determined after said membership had been acquired. Masonry, as I understand it, concedes to its members the right to freedom of thought and liberty of action, holding'them personally responsible for any discreditable aCt that would reflect on the fraternity. therefore any prohibitive restraint should come from the governing body. and I submit the question of whether membership in t.he Ku Klux Klan is permissible to members of the craft under the jurisdiction of the; Grand Lodge. of Arizona for a ruling in the premises. Renewed activities in the nortbwestern part of the state on the part of the Klan render a decision necessary at this time in order that th~ Masters of Lodges within whose jurisdiction the a:ctivities occur may be governed accordingly. All correspondence that I have had on the subject together with such other data as I have been able to obtain is here-, with sUbmitted for consideration.

The Committee on Jurisprudence approved the action of the Grand Master. RECOGNITION OF :GRAND LODGES. The Grand Lodge formally granted recognition to the York Grand Lodge of Mexico. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE. There is no Report. on Correspondence beyond that of recognition of the York Grand Lodge of Mexico.

Such topics as Disobedience in Children, the Modern Dance, the Movies, the Automobile, the Waning Influence of the Home, Sensationalism from the Pulpit, Official Graft and Political Indifference, Unpunished Crime and Political' Demagogy occupy a large space, and then follows a record路 of the principal events of the Administration.

RECOMMENDATIONS. The Grand Master makes a recommendation concerning the Narcotic Evil, and one in favor of the Masonic Cottage at Booneville. He also recommmends an Endowment Fund for the Orphans' Home. THE EIGHTIDENTH AMENDMENT. The Grand Master says: "In the hope that a word of caution would be helpful to the Brethren in the matter of respecting the Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution, I sent out .the following letter:

Batesville, Ark., Oct. 22, 1923. To the Subordinate Lodges Free and Accepted Masons of Arkansas. Dear Brethren: From the numerous complaints that have come to me from various sections of the State, it is evident that a good many Masons are patronizing the bootlegger. Years ago the drinking of whiskey as a beverage was so common as to be little thought of, except by those mothers and wives who saw poverty and disgrace coming to their homes and families. But in recent years public sentiment has undergone a tremendous change on the liquor question. The action of the railroad companies, factories, mills, banks and mercantile establishments and life insurance companies in putting the ban on the drink habit by their employes has had great influence in bringing about this change of sentiment. It is now considered a disgrace for a man to drink, while the man who drinks even moderately is in disrepute among his neighbors. He is more than that, for he is looked upon as a criminal. The Eighteenth Am路endment to the Constitution of the United States. prohibiting the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors, is a part of the fundamental laws of the land, so that the man who drinks now is nothing more nor less than a violator of the law, for he gets his whiskey illegally. I wish it understood by every Mason in Arkansas that Masons haven't the constitutional right to patronize bootleggers. And when they do patronize them they not only become criminals themselves, but they become promoters of crime by encouraging others to violate the law. Charges should be filed against every Mason who is known to be a patron of bootleggers. I direct that this letter be read in each Lodge at the first Stated Communication after its receipt. JOHN Q. WOLF, (Seal) Grand Master.

FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE. This Report, which is very brief, is the work of a Committee, of which Brother A. M. Forby is Chairman. There is no review of separate Jurisdictions.

ADDRESS OF WELCOMK

Prior to the opening ceremonies, an Address of Welcome was made by the Mayor of Toronto, Hon. Chas. A. Maguire, who was fittingly introduced by the Grand Master. In the course of his remarks the Mayor said: It is rather significant,

Most Worshipful Sir, that the Lodge over which you have the honor of presiding, has had among its members many mayors of the City of Toronto. I think over fifteen in all of the members of St. Andrew's .Lodge have occupied the honorable position which I occupy today, of Mayor of Toronto. It is therefore with, peculiar pleasure that I bid you right .hearty welcome to the city. I regard it as one of the happy even ts of my term of office that I have the privilege of giving the civic welcome to the Grand -Lodge of the ancient and honorable society which is the premier among the fraternal organizations of the world.

In his response, the Grand Master said: Your Worship the Mayor, and brother Mason:-which is after all the title which br ings you most in contact with our hearts and minds, with us collectively and individually-I thanl{ you very much indeed, on behalf of this splendid gathering of Canadian manhood of whom I am the interpreter, for your most cordial welcome and for your thoughtful address, emphasizing as it docs the responsibility of citizenship; surely the citizens of Toronto have exemplified that in the great years through which we have just passed; and not only their responsibility to you but their responsibility as individual citizens of the Empire.

GRAND MASTER'S ADDRESS.

The address of the Grand Master is indeed a "masterpiece," a "gem of purest ray serene," which fittingly brought to a close an admins~ation of unusual popularity. M. W. Brother Ponton has drunk deeply of the ideals of our great Craft, and as one reads this remarkable document he feels more and more of the inestimable grandeur and dignity of our noble institution. Would that we had space to reproduce for our readers this remarkable "deliverance." VERY TIMELY.

One paragraph, at least, we must quote.

is the following:

Subject to the limitations of time and space and physical stl'ength,' I have tried to liye my belief in the personal equation-in living contact with my Brethren of that vital <frganism, that wonderful laboratory of potencies, and school of ch~racter-constitutingthe I,odge, the rallying place of the Craft, the Men's House.

but th~. happy and restful, refined and intellectual home of men of good will and good sense; Brethren not Bondsmen, men of brain and brawn, young men and mature men', drawn and conciliated together by some magnetic affinity of association far more than mere gregariousness; just average men in a world of motion and emotion, of aspiration and of purposeful progress, men who discover one another and realize themselves in close and familiar association, and who have realized also that the Brotherhood of Man begins with the Manhood of the Brother. Each Lodge, as each man, has a distinctive tone or fiavor derived from its personnel, its environment, its conditions, its age, its size. I am free to admit that great and good as is the collective work of the large Lodges. some are too unwieldy, and few members can individually participate in that great training school of administration. It is too like modern athletics, in which few play the game while thousands cheer, groups and circlets are apt to be formed, and the prestige of numerical strength and influence does not compensate for the lack of the close intimacythat duty and privilege of knowing each other-which makes and keeps the ideal Lodge, an exemplar of Masonry in action-dynamic not static-of virile individuality and soul-and not a corporate entity. Of course there are exceptions, and nothing can be worse than a small, narrow, struggling, anaemic Lodge without ambition and without spirit. Fortunately there are few of either extreme. Are the strong' Lodges helping the weak as they might and should? Does the urbanity of the City express itself often enough by intervisitation with centres of rural energy and conscientious work? Do we synchronise and collaborate in alternating currents concurrently, in this and other phases of the intimate relationship and net work of our great confraternity.

PHYSICAL QUALIFICATIONS.

The Grand Master told' the Grand Lodge a good many things that were both timely and pertinent. Among them is this: Thank God we Masons have had the courage and 'vision to abrogate the old operative requirement (it was never a landmark) of Physical perfection. and many men maimed in the service, who a few years ago though good enough for the Church militant and for Heaven, were not admissible to our Lodges, ate now with proper safeguards, welcomed within our portals, if knocking at our doors, they desire to add the fellowship of the Craft to the comradeship of the field.

FOREIGN COURTESIES.

The Grand Master has evidently enjoyed his term of.. service, both at home and abroad, and the value of such "visitations," if such they may be called, is inestimable, both to the Craft and to humanity at large. Speaking of his reception by brethren of other Jurisdictions, he says:

Appendik .

The reCelttion of Your Grand :Master as your representative and ambassador, by the Masons of Ne';" York, of Massachusetts, of Pennsylvania, of Maine, of Rhode Island, of Connecticut, of New Jersey, of New Hampshire, and of those many other States from Texas to Washington whom I met as fellow guests at the Communications and Banquet Board, was most cordial and gratifying, and I have realized as never before, ot what fine caliber and character, how near in kinship and 路in aim, how congenial in spirit, ,how actively friendly, how warmly fraternal, ar'e those 2,700,000 virile Masons of the United States, our allies and neighbors, who have formed an everlasting compact with us to pitch our tents hereafter in the pleasant plains of peace. The metre may not be perfect, but the sentiment of the following verses is: "Let politicians talk their fill, And papers print what papers will, The common folk on either side Of the invisible divideCanadian, United StatesAre providential working mates. Now on our length'ened border-line We givE: but one glad countersignBe it the same till time shall endThis: "\Vho g'oes there?" "A friend!" "A friend!" And let us to all nations prove That nations can as brothers love."

PROGRESS. The growUl of the Fraternity in the Province of Ontario is wonderful. In 1855 there were but 41 Lodges, in 7 Districts, with no record, of the actual membership. Today there are 537 Lodges, with a round hundred thousand members. The City of Toronto alone has more than 23,00'0; members-almost as many members as are in the City of St. Louis, but with a population of something like a third only. Masonry certainly "means something" to our neighbors north of us. MINUTE MADE MASONS. In a trenchant paragraph the Grand Master says: There is too much rushing and grouping and teaming in Degree Work. There is nothing worse than' perfunctory Degree grinding. Degrees should be stately in their rhythmic ceremonial dignit;yand individual in contact. But what can be said of Masters and Past Masters who profess to have given the solemn Third Degree to each of 4 candidates in 15 minutes. The mills of God grind slowly. Let us call a halt or the grist will be spoiled by these high powered artists of milling legerdemain. They mean well, but are mistaken.

HOME, HOSPITAL,- SCHOOL AND TEMPLE. The Grand Master complains that 1Q,5 Lodges have refrained from sending their replies to correspondence designed to test out the feeling of the Craft concerning the establishment of Masonic Home, Hospital, School and Temple for the better housing of the Grand Lodge, in consequence of which the' considerations of these matters must lie over for another year. AN EPOCHAL OCCASION. An outstanding feature of the Grand Lodge session was the great gathering which assembled on Wednesday night, July 18th, in the spacious Massey Hall, presided over by the Most Worshipful Grand Master, Col. Wm. N. Ponton.

An elaborate program had been pr~pared, and this was carried out with wonderful success. The occasion was a fitting reception to the Pro Grand Master of England, and his escort, as well as to the visiting Grand Masters of Massachusetts and Pennsylvania. The speeches were marvellously stimulating, and filled with brilliant wit and' tender pathos. Freemasonry was seen at its best in that memorable gathering, and the memory of it will abide for long days to come. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE. Owing to extra duties, R. W. Brother Edward B. Brown, the Grand Correspondent, has been obliged to give up his Chair, and the Report this year has been prepared by several Brethren, principally, however, by W. Brother R. C. Blagrave, D. D. Speaking of his work, the Grand Master says: "Do our young Brethren realize what a treasure house of Craft lore is to be found in this Fraternal Correspondence which never grows old or stale? Volumes five years old are fresh and bracing. Next to a correspondence fixed with heaven, which, as Burns says, is a noble anchor-is .correspondence with our great Brotherhood of every clime the world over; acting and reacting on one another-all for each, each for all." Missouri receives kindly mention in the Report, and the Correspondent is complimented on several features of our Report, quotations being made therefrom with approval.

The Annual Address Df the Grand Master is somewhat lengthy, occupying nearly sixty-five pages, but is full of interest. In his opening paragraph he says: Although the actual exemplifying of the degrees in the lodge room rnay not furnish an opportunity to work to all those who may desire such opportunity, Masonry offers other broad fields of service which may well challenge the energies and abilities of us all. We have the duty of carrying out of the lodge room into the world where we work and play the great principles of brotherly love, relief and truth so beautifully taught within the lodge, and so living and practicing these great principles. that our contact with our fellow-men everywhere shall be a blessing and an encouragement to them, and

our loved Fraternity thus become a tremendous force for good in this world, a force for right living and right thinking. I believe that our responsibilities along this line are coming more and more to be appreciated by the Craft in general, which is a most hopeful sign for the future.

THE FRATERNAL DEAD. The Grand Master makes mention in fitting terms of the loss sustained through the deaths of R. W. Arthur H. Brewer, Past Grand Senior Warden, and R. W. Isaiah Baker, Jr., Grand Trustee, both of whom had rendered conspicuous service to the Grand Lodge for many years. He also refers tenderly to a long list of Brethren in other Grand Jurisdictions who have "fallen on sleep." DISPENSATIONS AND DECISIONS. The Grand Master grants thirty-four Dispensations for various purposes, and renders five Decisions, none of which appear of unusual interest. The Grand Master indicates that a great many more inquiries were made which could have been settled by a reference to the Law. DEDICATIONS AND CORNER STONE LAYINGS. The Grand Master reports several of these, mentioning the interesting phases of each occasion. DISTRICT DEPUTIES. Early in the Masonic Year the Grand Master called his District Deputies together for counsel, and he reports enthusiastically on the fact that every Deputy was present. Plans for the work of the year were discussed, and from the reports presented by the Deputies at the Annual Communication much good seems to have been done. All the interests which are Iiow absorbing the attention of the Craft universal, as well as local matters, such as the Masonic Home, received the specific attention of the Deputies, and therefore it is no wonder that Connecticut makes such a good showing in everything she undertakes. VISITATIONS. A detailed record of the Grand Master's visitations makes an interesting part of the Address. It would seem that everywhere he was received with royal courtesy, and that every Lodge tried to outdo its neighbor in extending welcome to its Chief Executive.

The Grand Master speaks approvingly of the management of THE MASONIC HOME, and commends it to the Craft in earnest terms. Connecticut Masonry.

It is the pride of

KEEP TO THE RIGHT! The following is worthy of the highest commendation. Grand Master says:

The

There is a matter of which I feel constrained to speak in no uncertain tones. I refer to the practice of raising money for Masonic purposes by means of lotteries, raffling, or games of chance, which practice, I am sorry to say, has been called to my attention as having come into vogue somewhat in this state. Such practices are improper, unworthy of the dign.ity of a Mason, and in the main are in direct violation of the laws of this commonwealth, which every Mason has sworn to obey. At the best they constitute a studied attempt to evade the law and no Mason should put himself in the position of seel\:ing a way to evade the law of his state and thus bring reproach upon himself and the great order to which he belongs. Masonry has ever stood for the highest standard of moral ethics and if it is to continue the gl;eat moral force which it has been throughout the 路ages it must not at any time, anywhere, place the stamp of its approval upon anything that is even questionable. I know that the tendency of the present day is to look lightly upon the practices of which I speak. "Everybody is doing it" is ofttimes the excuse offered when a brother thoughtlessly has allowed himself to be led into the sanction of that which in his own heart he knows to be wrong, Masonry should stand firm against the present day tendency to drift away from old-fashioned standards of right and honesty. My brothers, we cannot afford to raise funds for Masonic purposes by selling to him who will buy the chance to obtain something of value for a sum much less than that something is worth, or by any other gambling pretense or device. All such is in.herently dishonest. Let us as a Grand Lodge place the seal of our disapproval upon it.

To all of which we say Amen! FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE. This Report'is from the virile pen of our good Brother, P. G. M. George A. Kies, and is one of his best. There is not a dull paragraph in it,' and many things are well said. Missouri is courteously treated, and in addition to excerpts from Grand Master Lucas' Address there is a quotation from the "Foreword" of the Correspondent for which, thanks!

The Proceedings of the Grand Lodge of Delaware for 192'3 are contained in a splendidly gotten up volume of some two hundred pages, typographically perfect, and adorned with the picture of thE: Grand Master, M. W. Brother C. A. Bamberger, as a frontispiece, and a fine cut of the new Masonic Home, which is the pride of our Brethren in that Grand Jurisdiction: The records of two Emergent Communications precede those of the Annual Communicati'on, one held at Smyrna, Del., for the purpose of laying the corner stone of the Smyrna High School, the other that of the Public School at Dover, Del. ANNUAL COMMUNICATION. The One Hundred and Eighteenth Annual Communication of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of Delaware convened in the Masonic Temple, in the City of Wilmington, on the Third Day of October, A. D. 1923, A. L. 5,923, and was called to order by the Most Worshipful Grand Master at eleven o'clock A. M., with the Grand Officers present and in their respective stations: Most Reverend August vV'.

ing, and also mentions the fact that but five members of the Grand Lodge, all Past Masters, have answered the last summons. VISITATIONS. The Grand Master and his Staff have visited every Lodge in the Grand Jurisdiction, according to established custom, and in another paragraph the Grand Master calls attention to the fact that every line officer is expected to co-operate in these visitations. EDICT. Because of certain information reaching us, we deemed it necessary to issue the following edict under date of November 18, 19,22: Inasm'uch as it has come to my attention that members of our subordinate Lodges as m,embers of their respective Lodges are acting. or have been designated to act on committees not directly connected with said Lodges and their Masonic functions, I hereby direct that all such members withdraw at once from such committees, unless they serve simply as ind ividuals, or in a capacity disassociated from their members!p in their Masonic lodges.

Commenting on the above, the Grand Master observes: In Masonrj.路 there are certain fundamentals whieh no earthly power can alter or change. One of these fundamentals is the belief in the Supreme Architect of the Universe. Freedom of thought and action is accorded, and it is un-l\l[asonic to espouse any religious creed or sect. The only rel,igious test required of a Freemason is Ids belief in the Supreme Being by whatever name It may be known. The Grand Master of Nev.' York in his address to the Grand Lodge of New York at the last Annual Communication said t he three gt'eat. things fOl' which our fl'aternitystands, are "Heverenee for God and all things that are sacred and holy, loyalty to our own country and its institutions and charity, benevolence and toleration in all our relations with our fellow men."

MASONIC HOME. The new building of the Masonic Home of Delaware was dedicated with appropriate ceremonies on Memorial Day, May 30, 1923. It appears that there is a balance of $75,000' to be provided by the constituent Lodges, and this is to be met by an assessment which was authorized at this session of the Grand Lodge. LODGE DUES AND CHARITY. The following is timely: The Grand Master says:

rt is our observa.tion that the dues of some of the Constituent

Appendix.

[Oct.

Lodges are not sufficiently high to properly finance their legitimate obligations without depending on the income from petition fees. Such income is too uncertain for dependence. Each Lodge should carefully scrutinize its resources and assess the dues independent of income from petition fees. Freemasons are charged to practice charity. Resources unduly restricted prevent the proper discharge of this duty. Devoting income from petition fees路 to charity rather than to make up any deficient income from dues will permit freer action in dispensing chC' rity. Freedom of action to the fullest possible extent should be accorded the Master of each Lodge in the consideration of charity expenditures. Neglect to do so delays action which may cause material hardship.

The George Washington Memorial and the Masonic Service Association both receive due consideration, the Grand Lodge participating in both enterprises. DE MOLAY:

The Grand Master refers as follows: The Order of De Molay is an organization sponsored by Masonic bodies. It had its origin in Kansas City, Mo., but a short time back and has increased and spread most amazingly. This organization is composed of boys between the ages of 16 and 21. related closely to Masons, and chums of boys having such relationship. Nothing in its ritual or order of business can lead to an assumption of solicitation for Masonic affil iation. A Chapter of the Order, sponsored by the Rose Croix Chapter of the A. A. S. R. Bodies of Delaware, has been instituted in 'Vilmington. The jurisdiction of this Chapter extends over the entire State. The teachings of the Order are highly commendable and are given a boy in the formative period of transi,tion from boyhood to manhood. We urge all brethren to accord the Order of De Molay their fullest moral and beneficent support.

FUNERAL SERVICE.

A shorter form of Funeral Service being desired a Committee presented one which was adopted, and their report appears in full in the Proceedings. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE.

This report is very fine, and is the work of our good Brother, Thos. J. Day. It is his fourth, and in every way equal to those that have gone before. Missouri is accorded liberal space and quota路 tions from Grand Mast.er Lucas' address and from the Correspondent are included.

He deals wIth the Fraternal Dead, especially mentioning the passing of the late President Harding. After detailing his acts in connection with Dispensations, Decisions, etc., the Grand Master speaks of the United Temple Project, and itemizes the Lodges which he visited in furtherance of this enterprise.

It would appear that the Grand Lodge holds semi-annual Communications, in April and September, and the Annual Grand Festival takes place on the 8th day of October. It also appears that most of the Lodges meet at Cairo and work in Arabic, with the exception of a few composed of other nationalities.

The Grand Lodge of Panama was recognized at this Communication. ANNUAL GRAND FESTIVAL. This was held at Freemasons' -Hali, London, on Wednesday, April 30., 1924, and was a great occasion. - Among the Distinguished Visitors present was the Grand Master Mason of Scotland (Lord Elgin), and the Pro Grand Master of Victoria. The Grand Master of Scotland, responding to Lord Ampthill's introduction said: M. W. Pro Grand Master, I do not wish to detain you at any length, because I know that in the ceremony tonight you have a long evening's work. But I must, in one word, thank you for the welcome you have given to me on this, the first occasion on which I have had the opportunity, as Grand Master Mason of Scotland, of officially visiting your Grand Lodge. Last year I had the opportunity of attending the Festival, but unfortunately, I was unable to be present at the meeting of the Grand Lodge. But I felt that, this year, there was a special reason why I should make a special effort to be with you here today. There is a very special' reason, I think, for Freemasons, at the present moment, to make every effort in their own lives, and in the lives which they can influence, to help and to steady the Country. I feel that this is an opportunity which no one in the position which I have the honor to occupy just now, of governing the Craft in Scotland, should lose, to prove that wherever we are, whether in England, in Scotland, or in other parts of the world, Freemasons must act together for the good of the community in which they live, and for the world at large-from no selfish motive, from no motive of an individual or of a particular class, but for the good of the whole. There is another reason which has induced me to be here today particularly, and that is that, this year, we hope in the Grand Lodge of Scotland to have an opportunity of welcoming one who has been Senior Grand Warden in your Grand Lodge, I mean His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. You, in your turn, IV1. ,V. Pro Grand Master, are today, I understand, installing into the office of Senior Grand Warden of the Grand Lodge of England, a Brother who holds office as my Substitute Grand Master in Scotland, Bro. Lord Blythswood. I hope these two facts will prove that the two Grand Looges are acting in full accord and amity. I would just

The Address of the Grand Master occupies nearly forty pages of the Proceedings, and is a worthy document, well-arranged, and abounding in items of interest. In his opening paragraph mention is made of the far-reaching and abiding influence of Freemasonry on the fortunes of a commonwealth. He says: An examination of the pages of history will show the names of the men who were most active in the formative period of our great State, and Mason ic records show that in nearly every case these same men were prominently identified with our Order, which explains the wonderful success of Masonry in this Grand Jurisdiction and is evidence that our forefathers recognized the value of Masonic education and influence upon the minds of the individual citizens of our commonwealth. The strength of Masonry lies not in its organization, but in the broad principles and influences which are disseminated from the minds of its individual members. The wisdom of its founders has kept our Order free from discord within our ranks and the entanglements that arise from the injection of matters of partisan or sectarian nature, these being questions with which our Fraternity is not concerned, and upon which our individual members are encouraged to form and exercise their own opinions, it being the purpose of Freemasonry to create of its members free - thinking, loyal, individual citizens, inspired with the duty they owe to God. their country, and their fellowmen.

THE FRATERNAL DEAD. Tender reference is made to the loss sustained by the Grand Lodge through the passing of a number of distinguished Brethren, including Past Grand Masters Cephas L. Wilson and Chas. W. Johnson, and arrangements were made whereby the Grand Lodge will erect suitable monuments to mark their places of sepulture. Reference is also made to the death of the late President Harding who, the Grand Master said, was accustomed to spend the larger part of his winter vacation in Florida. GEORGE WASHINGTON MEMORIAL. Florida is well ahead with this nlatter, and has paid some ten

thousand dollars into the Treasury already, with a good prospect of finishing up the work in fine shape. MASONIC SERVICE ASSOCIATION. Andrew L. Randell, Executive Secretary of the Masonic 'Service Association, attended the Grand Lodge Session and set forth the plans which were adopted at the last annual meeting of the Association. After careful consideration, and a formal vote, Florida i1ecided to become a member of the Association. GRAND MASTERS' CONFERIDNCE. The Grand Master says: In response to an invitation from Most Worshipful Mark II', l<'inley, Grand Master of the District of Columbia, I attended a conference of Grand Masters in Washington, October 31, 1923. The only matter of importance considered was the question of the formation of a national Grand Body of Masonry, which was discussed very briefly, the opposition to such an organization being almost unanimous. ' The visiting Masons were delightfully entertained by the Brethren of Washington with an automobile ride around the city in the afternoon and a banquet in the evening.

DISP:IDNSATIONS. Dispensations for the formation of five new Lodges were granted. PHYSICAL DISQUALIFICATIONS. The Grand Master says: I have granted permission to a number of Lodges to receive petitions, and if elected to confer degrees upon applicants with slight phYRical deformities. I have advocated the most liberal interpretation of Regulation No. 91 covering this matter, believing that when 'the candidate can possibly conform to the requirements of the ceremonies of the several degrees, and is otherwise well qualified, we should not refuse to receive him on account of physical misfortune.

IRREGULAR PENNSYLVANIA LODGE. The following instance may be of assistance to others in aiding the work of eliminating clandestine Masonry: March 7th, I received a communication from Eureka Lodge No, ZOG, located at Dania, stating that one Robert K . .Johnson had ap-

plied to that Lodge for admission as a visitor, presenting credentials from an organization known as Temple Lodge No. 13, A. F. & A. M., of Rochester, Pa. Upon investigation it was found that this body is connected with an organization known as the Grand Lodge, A. F. & A. M., of Pennsylvania, which is not recognized as a regular Masonic body by the Grand Lodge, F. & A. M., of Pennsylvania, 01" by this Grand Lodge.

The Grand Master mentions the following, and his recommendation is adopted by the Grand Lodge: A member of one of our Lodges has submitted a copy of a magazine which is published in one of our sister Grand Jurisdictions, carrying upon its cover the announcement that it was endorsed by the Grand Lodge of Florida. Upon inquiry I learned that this Grand Lodge did give its endorsement to the paper a number of years ago. The Brother submitting the matter expressed the opinion that on accou'nt of the announcement carried, the uninitiated, and probably the Mason who is not well informed,would receive the impression that the general pollcy of the paper has the approval of this Grand Lodge, and there is reasonable ground for such conclusion. It would seem advisable that we take some action in the matter, and that the safest policy for this Grand Lodge and the Particular Lodges under its jurisdiction in the future will be to refrain from giving endorsement to, or allowing the name of Masonry to be connected with, any activity except such as is under the direct control of the Fraternity.

DECISIONS. The Grand Master rendered forty-three Decisions, among which the following appears: "Q. A sojourning Brother, belonging to a Lodge in another Jurisdiction makes the request that after his death a Lodge take his ashes out to sea and scatter them to the four winds. What ceremony should be used on this occasion? Answer: "The Constitution, Regulations and established customs of our Fraternity' provide no means for the Lodge to comply with this request." FOREIGN CORRES'PONDENCE. P. G. M. Silas B. Wright presents his 2'4th Report on Correspondence, filling more than 20'(} pages and highly interesting throughout. For the second year in succession, Missouri is missing. Can it be that our good Brother fails to receive a copy of our Proceedings? He closes his report with the following:

Georgia beg'an laying a corner stone of love and affection for one of its members, who ninety years ago first saw the light of this universe. This day we meet in the One Hundred and Thirty-seventh Annual Communication and exactly one-half of these Communications have b'een attended by our venerable and loved Past Grand Master, James W. Taylor, to whom we might refer as the "father" of his state, Georgia.

GRAND MASTEJR'S ADDRESS. This is a splendid setting forth of the various acts and items connected with the year's administration, and is well arranged. The care of dependent children is a matter of concern to the Grand Master, and he thinks that the Grand Lodge is not doing all that it might for them. They have started a print shop at the "Home" and this seems to be a step in the right direction. "HIGHER DEGREES." This seems to be a matter of路 concern also, and arrangements are in progress between the various bodies, looking to a better working of these things. A good idea. LEBANON LODGE. This Lodge got itself into the limelight on February 26, 1'9'23, through newspaper notoriety, and the Grand Master promptly called a halt. The Lodge refusing to pay attention to the Grand Master found itself with an arrested charter, and the Grand Master laid the full details before the Grand Lodge with the result that his actions and recommendation were sustained and carried out. DISTRICT CONVENTIONS. The Grand Master commends these, and says that the work done has resulted in much good. UNIFORM WORK. A great effort is being put forth to bring up the work to a high state of uniformity, and good progress is reported as being made. THE WORD "MASONIC." On this matter the Grand Master says: Under the resolution of Past Grand Master Robert J. Travis on the use of the name "Mason" or "Masonic" I took up with some of

the corporations doing business in our state the advisability of changing the names of their companies. I found many Masons carrying insurance with them. I permitted one of them to continue in our state wit'h over-printing all their stationery and advertising. It requires time for big corporations to make changes, and I was convinced that many of them wanted to do the right thing. Some have already dropped the name "Masonic;" others will do so. One that carries a heavy line of insurance in Georgia will do so at their coming annual meeting. Taking everything into consideration, I think much good has been done.

REVISION OF CODE.

The Grand Master advises a revision. BOARD OF RELIEF.

The Grand Master says: Brother Frank O. Miller and his Board of H.elief will have a detailed report. The past year has demonstrated beyond question the advisability of the establishment of this Board. The distressed Brother has been relieved and in a most economical manner. The communities and local Lodges are assuming their responsibility in the work, and in my opinion it is the best solution of the entire matter.

TRIBUTE TO THE) GRAND SECRETARY,

The Grand Master has this to say: No institution can be successfully run without the records and office details being taken care of. Every item entering into the conduct of the detail of our 700 Lodges, with the individual membership of 66,000, must be accurate and up to the minute. Few men have the gift of secretaryship; few of us can keep track of details, and when a great organization has such an official, they are indeed fortunate. We have such a one; Io'ran k Baker is a Secretary. He is a good office man; he is painstaking in his work; he is courteous and obliging. He has ever been ready to aid me in all my undertakings; he has always been found ready with initiative information; his advice is much sought after by all who know him, and who does not know }<""rank? The information that he gives is sound and good. The Grand Lodge has a most valuable official in him; I acknowledge 'with gratitude his service to me. Frank, I thank you.

We know another "Frank" of whom the same may be said! COMPLIMENT TO THE PASSING GRAND MASTER.

The Grand Lodge, being in session at the time of the corner stone laying of the George Washington Memorial, promptly took measures to insure proper representation at that ceremonial, and

provided that the Grand Master be dispatched to the ceremony to represent the' Grand Lodge of Georgia as Gralid Master, even though at the actual time of the ceremony the ,new Grand Master might be elected.

Our good Brother Parvin is to be congratulated on the excellence of his work. The volume is prefaced by a speaking likeness of the Grand Master, M. W. Brother F. W. Glaze, and in the "sketch" which follows the picture it is said: ,The problems which came to him as Grand Master were many and perplexing, but he gave to the task the same earnest, pains: taking, conscientious attention that he has given to every duty in life, and the Brethren are well satisfied with the account he has rendered of his stewardship.

Prior to the opening of the Grand Lodge, public exercises were held in the auditorium of the Masonic Temple at Sioux City, at which an address of welcome was given by Brother C. W. Britton, President of the Chamber of Commerce, to which the Deputy Grand .Master,Fo~d L. VanHoesen, ~ade an eloquent response. The oldest Iowa Mason,' ;together' with several distinguished visitors· were also presented to the gathering. ' It was stated that

The Eightieth Annual Communication of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge A. F. & A.M. of Iowa was opened in. Ample Form by the Grand Master, Frank W. Glaze, with the assistance of his officers, at 1(}: 3D' A. M.in the Masonic Temple at Sioux City, Iowa, on Tuesday, June 12!, 192\3, the invocation being delivered by the Grand Chaplain, Chas. E. Snyder. GRAND MASTIDR'S ADDRESS. Beginning, the Grand Master says: The past year has been a busy one-a year with many pleasant memories, although there are a few I should like to forget. The pleasant experiences have. been in meeting old friends, making new ones, trying to help others; which have left remembrances I shall never forget and I hope the work of my office has not been in vain.

OUR DEPARTED BROTHERS. The Grand Master, speaking of these, says: This year 887 of our Brothers have crossed the river-we shall see them on earth no rnore. They have gone to that realm from which no traveler returns. Among them are four of our Past Grand Officers, Brothers Wm. H. Norris, Past Grand Master; Cromwell Bowen, Past Grand Master; John C. Dunlavey, Past Junior Grand Warden; and Charles H. Slocum, Past Grand Treasurer. "The trestletloard li~th in idleness now, For the hand of the Master is still, The level and plurnbet, the compass and square, Will move nevermore at his will. The sound of the gavel is hushed to repose, No labor is planned for the day, The rule is now useless, the figures will rust, And silently moulder away. "The Craftsman from Labor is called to repose. Low twelve-it is sounded once moreWhile others stilI toil where their pilgrimage leads, And hurry along to that shore, A stone is finished today, 'l'he Temple of God rises fast, Cemented in truth with His holiest love, The Ashlar is perfect at last.

"Still mortals must toil and hew here below, They must pray, they must part, they must weep, And bear with the ills that encompass us here, Where the pathway is rugged and steep. The end cometh on, and old Time gathers all, Where a surcease of pain shall. be given. When low twelve is sounded to mortals below, The high twelve is sounded in heaven."

CORNER STONES.

The following is interesting to this Correspondent inasmuch as it recalls two experiences of his own, one when the thermometer registered below zero, and the other when the mercury rose to 109 in the shade: In making a report on the laying of the corner-stone of the new Masonic Temple at Creston, I submit a copy of the letter I received from the Worshipful Master of Crest City Lodge No. 522. No comment is necessary-"Pop" did the work. "Under the most trying circumstances ever experienced with the thermometer near zero and the wind blowing about fifty miles per hour, Senior Grand Warden, Brother J. M. Graham of Des Moines, Iowa, in a very impressive manner, laid the corner-stone of thf: new Masonic Temple at Creston, Iowa, on February the 14th, 1923 "Brother Graham is very proficient in his work and deserves great credit for the m"anner in which he rendered it here under the circumstances which prevailed. "May the great God of Heaven and Earth, bless Brother Graham and the Grand Lodge of Iowa in their great and good work, is our earnest prayer."

IMPRESSIONS OF A LODGE VISITATION.

The following is altogether worthy: The lodge room is nicely furnished with pictures hung around the walls. The one that attracted my attention the most was a picture of the fifteen charter members of the Lodge. Brother D. W. Perry, father of our Brother Frank W. Perry, was Master at that time and Frank was Tyler. The father has since joined the Grand Lodge above and Frank has taken up the working tools his father laid down. He is now a Past Master and a District Lecturer and the fact that Brother Perry is one of our best Instructors is shown . by the quality of work done in that little community lodge. Another thing I could not help but notice was the peace and harmony that existed among the Brethren. They are like one big family. Fathers and sons meet together as brothers-united by Masonic ties.

"Away with the parent whose all-work mind Has never an hour for playI'm praising the dad of a better kind, Who lives in a nobler way; The father who sees in that son of his The man of a time not far, Yet thinks of the boy as the boy he is, Which makes them the chums they are.

SPECIAL REPRESENTATIVE. Speaking of these the Grand Master says: The work of the Representatives of the Grand Master this year was different from those of preceding years in this particular-each Represen tative, besides inspecting the Lodge assigned to him would give it one day of ritualistic instruction, In some instances it was hard work to get the officers to turn out, but where the members and the officers took an intere"st, they received much good. I want to thank each one of the Brothers who so Willingly acted as my Representative. You did your work wisely and well and your efforts are appreciated. I believe the work of the Representatives is doing much good and should be continued.

KU KLUX KLAN. Responding to many ,inquiries as to the Klan the Grand Master says: "The Grand Lodge of Iowa does not approve of your organization, and as for me, I can see no good reason for its existence. If a Mason wants to do good, he has ample opportunity as a Mason to do so. As far as enforcing the Jaw, we have officers for that purpose

and I do not believe any good Mason should take the law in his own hands, and further, I do not believe any respectable, honest, upright man would want to cover his face and go out at night to enforce the law. I can see no reason why a good Mason would want to join an organization which is in disrepute and a disgrace to' the community and as far as I was concerned, I had no use for such an organization."

MASONIC SEJRVICE ASSOCIATION. This Association receives the unqualified support of the Grand Lodge of Iowa, and the Grand Lodge Committee is enterprising a large program in connection therewith. Much has already been accomplished, and great things are promised for the future. CIPHERS. It is somewhat amazing to learn that Iowa is afflicted with this matter, and we do not wonder at the Grand Master's observations in connection with it.

GEORGE WASHINGTON MEMORIAL. Iowa is well to the front in this enterprise, and the Grand Master appeals for the full payment of its quota. All other interests of the Grand Lodge seem to be in good condition, and the year's administration reveals progress in almost every direction. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE. The report on Correspondence. is, of course, from the facile pen of our good Brother Louis Block, and sparkles throughout with many gems. His "Foreword" and "Afterword" are especially illuminating, and did our space permit we would quote liberally, Missouri is reviewed in generous terms, and many items from our Proceedings are quoted. The following is an instance of the care with which Brother Block notes our "doings:" Splendid work was done by the St. Louis Employment Bureau, as is shown by the report of Andrew J. O'Reilly, its Chairman. Positions were found for nineteen hundred thirty applicants at an average expense of two dollars ninety-eight cents per capita.

He also commends our Report, for which he has our sincere thanks.

. Appendix.

The Grand Master comes into conflict with the Past Grand Masters' Associati<m, in some sort, by declining an invitation to attend their annual banquet, held on the eve of the Annual Grand Communication, at which, it was suggested, that he would .be expected to read his Address, and from which he dissented, stating that the Address was first of all to the Grand Lodge, etc. The Grand Master emphasizes the fact that he considers himself as specially charged with the responsibility of preserving the Ancient Landmarks, etc., and evidently considers his position as one of exceptional importance. It is' not surprising, therefore, to find that he felt compelled to issue the following. EDICT.. FROM THE GRAND EAST.

all

To the Master, Wardens and Brethren of Lodges within this Jurisdiction. BRETHREN: From time to time Lodges have been warned to pay no attention t.o appeals for financial assistance unless they had the approval of your Grand Master. It necessarily follows that communications seRt to Lodges requesting them to give publicity t.o certain matters are deserving of no less attention' than where the requests are for donations. It is not in keeping either with the dignity or the time honored traditions of Symbolic Masonry for Lodges to use the public press for advertising purposes. In order, therefore, that all Lodges within our Jurisdiction may be fully advised on this subject your Grand Master takes this opportunity of ordering all Lodges to pay no attention to requests for financial aid or to give publicity to any cause whatever. This does not prohibit Lodges from inserting in the public press Funeral and other local Masonic Notices. This Edict shall be read at the first two Stated Communications â&#x20AC;˘ following its receipt, and spread. in full on the Minutes. Done at Topeka, Kansas, this seventh day of September, 1923. RICHARD E. BIRD, Attest: Grand Master. ALBERT K. WILSON, Grand Secretary.

There is also a second one, in which Lodges are forbidden to memorialize Congress on the matter of education, etc. EJvidently the Grand Master was somewhat "sensitive" concerning his actions on these two subjects, for when his Address went to the usual Cqmmittee, we find this footnote to the Committee's Report: *The Grand Master held that an Edict was not subject to a. review. The chairman accepted this ruling' and offered to eliminate

it from the report. (In order to ma!{e this ru!,ing- properly understood, the Grand Secretar;y has allowed the words "From the Grand East (2 Edicts)" to remain in the report.

It would ill become us to comment upon this, holding, as we do, to the inalienable right of every Sovereign Grand Jurisdiction to interpret its own law and usage, yet, we find ourselves "wondering:" "Is a Grand Master's edict immune from Grand Lodge reo view?" Much good may come, at times, from ruling with a strong hand, but, also, much harm! But the Grand Master of Kansas did his duty, as he saw it, and he is to be commended for the courage of his convictions.

ORATION. In announcing this tl}e Grand Master says: I am very happy, Brethren, in annou!!cing to you that your Grand Orator upon this occasion is to be Brother E. H. Lindley, member of Lawrence Lodge No. G, who is Chancellor of our great University of Kansas. How proud we should be that in our day. and generation the very best of learning in its highest sense is so available to our children immediately within' the confines of our own beloved State. Than the University of Kansas there is none hetter and none finer. Our Brother Chancellor will address you at two o'clock this afternoon and I bespeak for him your !1rompt attendance and your usual close attention.

LANDMARKS, ANCIENT CHARGES AND

R~GULATIONS.

W. Brother Robert P. McColloch, delivered a Special Lecture, with the above title, and we understand also that this same lecture was to be delivered at all District Meetings, and after that, in all the Lodges of the Grand Jurisdiction. This, as a part of the Jurisdictional Educational Program, authorized by the Grand Lodge, and under instructions from the Grand Master. RECOGNITION OF FOREIGN GRAND LODGES. The Grand Lodge of Guatemala, and the Grand Lodge of Colombia were formally recognized and the exchange of Representatives duly ordered. FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE. This report is again from the pen of the. veteran, Albert K. Wilson, whose work is always good in every way. Missouri is, of course, inclUded, and is accorded that courteous treatment which always characterizes our Kansas Correspondent.

The half-tone portrait of the incoming Grand Master, M. W. Brother Prentiss B. Carter, indicates a man well calculated to superintend the operations of the Craft in his Grand Jurisdiction. ANNUAL COMMUNICATION. The One Hundred and Thirteenth Annual Grand Communication of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge, Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Louisiana, convened in the Scottish Rite Cathedral in the City of New Orleans, on Monday evening, the fourth of February, 1924, at two-thirty o'clock, and was opened on the Third or Master's Degree in Ample Form by M. W. Brother Joseph Sinai, Grand Master, following prayer by Rev. Brother Robert H. Harper, Grand Chaplain. GRAND MASTER'S ADDRESS. This is a strong. business-like document of about one hundred pages, and is the most unique Address that it has been our privilege, thus far, this year, to read. M. W. Brother Sinai has 'undoubtedly realized the seriousness of .the task which he assumed when he accepted ,the responsibilities of the Grand East; and he has done much during his term that will permanently influence the work of the Craft in Louisiana. THE FRATERJNAL DEAl;>. In opening his Address, the Grand Master refers suitably to the loss sustained by the Grand Lodge in the death of the late Judge Albert Campbell Allen, P. G. M.; and also mentions the sudden passing of Brother Michel Bernstein, of Shreveport, whose splendid gifts and graces endeared him to a host of his Brethren.

DISPENSATIONS. The Grand Master granted "more than one hundred Dispensations for sundry purposes, each one of which is specifically recorded in his Address. He also refused fifteen requests for Dispensations for good and sufficient reasons. RULINGS AND DECISIONS. Forty-two Rulings and Decisions are recorded, and these form but a part of the requests for such things which the Grand Master received. He properly observes that if the Brethren preferring these requests would but look up the law they would in a large majority of instances find all the direction they need. DEDICATIONS. The Grand Master dedicated several halls, and also the new Shrine Hospital for Crippled Children. CORNER STONES. The Grand Master officiated on seven occasions at the laying of corner stones, and was ably assisted by a number of other members of the Grand Lodge. OFFICIAL VISITS. These are many, and show the ceaseless interest taken by the Grand Master in his official duties. FOREIGN RELATIONS. The Grand Master reports that relations with Sister Grand Lodges are all that can be desired. MASONIC TIDMPLE PROPOSITION. The new Temple enterprise at New Orleans is progressing nicely, and the Fund is now nearly half a million.

EDICTS.

Trouble with raffles, fairs, bazaars, and violations of the Volstead Act have caused the Grand Master to issue two edicts concerning the same, and the Grand Lodge sustained his course of action. DISTRICT DEPUTY GRAND MASTERS.

The Grand Master has not found these officers to be as efficient as he thinks they should be, and he has told the Grand Lodge in plain language what he thinks of the system. etc. DUES AND INITIATION FEES.

Under this head the Grand Master calls attention to the low scale of dues and fees which obtain, and makes recommendations concerning the same 'which will have a wonderful effect when put into operation. He properly points out that Lodges with $1.0'0 and $2.0'0 dues cannot do anything to properly keep up their standing in â&#x20AC;˘ Masonry. And the same applies to the Fees. LIFE MEMBERSHIP.

The Grand Master comments on ,this and discourages Lodges . in the granting of such privileges. RELIEF BY LODGES.

This subject receives considerable notice, and attention is drawn to the fact that some lodges throw all the responsibility for Relief upon the Grand Master's Fund, while making no attempt themselves to meet the issues. MARINERS.

The Grand Master says: I believe the time has come and gone when we should extend.

as a matter of fact, to the sea faring men the exceptional privileg(~ of receiving the three degrees at on~ and the same communication. It can be well understood why this privilege was originally extended, but today there are very few of the Mariners who do not reach the same port, within the lapse of time to make a return voyage from some designated port, within thirty or sixty days. I feel t.hat the privilege granted by our IR.w is much abused in this day of steam propelled vessels, R.nd the sea fR.ring man has equal opportunity with the land lubber to learn the lectures of the degree:>.

NOMINATIONS OF GRAND OFFICIDRS. The Grand Master is in fa VOl' of this and thinks it would work well in Louisiana. MEMBERS DUTY TO VOTE. On this matter the Grand Master says: I find that there are members of the various constituent Lodges who are unwilling to take part either in the discussion of a matter before the Lodge or in voting upon a matter when it is submitted to the Lodge for its action, and in many instances while they make up the sum total of those present, by declining to vote on the matter submitted, prevent Lodge action. I believe it is the duty of every Mason to take part in all of the matterS before his Lodge and that he should be compelled to votc on every proposition submitted to thc members for their consideration, and if he declines to vote for or against the proposition. that he shail eithcr be declared to have voted for the proposition or that his presence in the Lodge be not noticed; if he is unwilling' to have an opinion as to every matter submitted for' his approval or disapproval, he ought not to be permitted to act as a preventive against those members in attendance who have opinions, one way or the other, as to the matters and things in which the Lodge is concerned, vVe do not permit physical eunuchs to come into the Lodge, and we oug'ht not to permit mental eunuchs obstructing Lodge action.

And the Grand Lodge concurred. SUNDRY. The Grand Master fully endorsed the National Masonic Service Association, and also the George Washington Memorial Fund. He also appointed a strong Committee of Masonic Service and Education for Louisiana. â&#x20AC;˘ He submitted a form of questionnaire to be used by the Lodges in receiving petitions, and also one for the use of Investigating Committees. He also sent out a questionnaire to every Lodge in the Jurisdiction asking for specific information concerning the present condition of the Lodge. Trials and punishments were reviewed and several recommendations thereon made. ORATION. A splendid oration was delivered by Rev. R. H. Harper, Grand Chaplain, at the Evening Session of the first day. Lack of space only prevents our giving quotations.

VISIT OF THE GENERAL GRAND HIGH PRIEST.

The Grand Lodge delighted in the visit paid by our own Dr. W. F. Kuhn, and listened with appreciation to his splendid address which is reported in full in the Proceedings. RECEPTION OF REPRESENTATIVES.

A pleasing feature of the Session was the Reception of Grand Representatives, forty-eight of whom answered the call of the Grand Secretary. These were escorted to the Altar and suitably addressed by the Grand Master. Missouri's Representative, P.G. M. L. E. Thomas, responded for his colleagues, and we are sure our reader'l:! will enjoy the' following excerpt: "Grand Master, on behalf of the representatives of the various Grand Lodges, we wan t to express to you, and to the Grand Lodge here assembled, our most heartfelt thanks for this greeting of'- welcome on your part, and to assure you that the pleasure is ours, for the privilege and the honor of representing the' various Grand Lodges here assembled. ,\Vhen I look around me, and remember that this is the twenty-fifth year that I have attended this Grand Lodge, without missing a single session-twenty-five years, a quarter of a century, I begin to realize that time is moving on, and the great work of Masonry is moving on with it, and that we are all journeying to that great undiscovered country from whose bourn no traveler returns. When I realize that I am the Senior Past Grand Master present, and, with one exception in this Grand Lodge, the senior, it" brings feelings of tenderness and sadness, when' we look around and see the faces that are no more, and we miss the touch of the vanished hand, and the sound of the voices that are still; when I see our ranks that are broken, and miss those that I have stood here with and been welcomed as the representative of Missouri. Brethren, it was a great joy this evening to hear an address on the principles of this Institution in which so many of our Brethren are only getting the surface; they never look below to get the glories of truth that lie beneath the surface. Yes, my Brethren, Masonry is universal in its application to the truth and teaching of mankind. But it is likewise universal in its broad mantle of brotherhood that circles this entire globe, and if the great principles of Masonry could be planted in the hearts of the people of the world at large, then would come the blessed day when the swords would be beaten into plow shares, and spears into pruning hooks, and the House of the Lord would be revealed from the top of the mountain and the coming of the millennium would be upon us. We accept these cordial fraternal greetings, Grand Master, in the spirit in which they are tendered, and.I call upon you each, my Brothers, that after this Grand Lodge session shall be adjourned, and you shall return to your homes, that you will, at least, take the time to write a short letter Of greetings to the Grand Master of

GRAND MASTER'S ADDRESS.

In the opening paragraph the Grand Master states that he has met many influential Masons, and distinguished citizens from nearly every state during his term of office, and that he was impressed, as never before, with the dignity, the influence, and the power of Masonry. He then says: "We measure all things b.y contrast; and, measured by this standard, I am compelled to acknowledge that our Jurisdiction, in comparison with other Jurisdictions, is among the most conservative and least progressive of the entire country." He goes on to say: "By the way of comparisons with what we are doing, I cannot go with much detail into the activities of other jurisdictions. Suffice it to say that New York, the wealthiest Jurisdiction, perhaps, is spending millions of dollars yearly, for the benefit of Masons and Masonry. Little New Hampshire with eighty Lodges and a membership of 14,505, about one-third that of Maine, one of thb smallest Jurisdictions and meager in wealth, is spending twice or three â&#x20AC;˘ times what the great State of Maine is spending. They have already contributed two dollars for every member, twice" their quota, to the Washington Memorial. They are sending to school and to college' the worthy orphans. sons and' daughters of their deceased Brothers, besides entailing other large expenditures for the aged and infirm. Between these two extremes, nearly every Jurisdiction is doing something besides listening to a recital of the ritual and attending gratuitous banquets. "N.early all the Jurisdictions moreover in addition to these altruistic engagements are planning regular educational work among the Lodges in an '.)ffort to enlighten and interest the personnel of the Craft. It is this phase of endeavor to which I wish particularly to call the attention of this Grand Lodge. "I feel that I am justified in saying that a more intelligent and more sincere membership than ours is not to be found in any Jurisdiction. And to thf} extent I have traveled the state, I have found the Fraternity, everywhere, interested and eager for information. "My one great disappointment of the year has been that, on account of indisposition, I have been unable to meet the many engagements I had made to visit Lodges and Clu15s in different parts of the State. "But to revert, allow me to say that I am anxious that some arrangemen t may be made, some system adopted, from the standpoint, both of cost and administration, by which capable and worthy Masons may be employed to visit, during the Masonic year, every District in the State and address them, not upon mere platitudes, but along the practical and educational lines of Masonic Service."

â&#x20AC;˘ Appendix.

CONDITION OF THE ORDER. Referring to this the Grand Master observes: "During the ]last year statistics show that Free Masonry in this Jurisdiction has had a satisfactory and healthy growth. The membeJ'ship has increased from 41,730 to 42,552, a net gain of 822. Twenty-eight )1er cent of the applications were rejected this year against twenty-f"ivc per cent last year. I consider this large number of rejections a favorable omen and' a significant result in proof of the wisdom of the que stion air e." "There is too much soliciting, due perhaps to a commendable, yet improvident zeal which must be discourap;ed, if the high standing' of Masonry is to be preserved. "With the questionaire, however, requiring the applicant 'to fill out the blank 'in his own handwriting' as 'a part of his application; a repetition of the omission of the applicant to state, that he has been rejected should in no manner avail the offender in that regard, of the defence of ig-Ilorance of what he had signed or of being misled, but should be taken 'as conclusive eVidence against him of an intended fraud upon the Lodge."

DISTRICT DEPUTY GRAND MASTERS. The Grand Master dDes not seem to think that the system as at present constituted is bringing the best results, and makes some practical observations thereon looking to betterment. MASONIC SERVICE ASSOCIATION. Reference to this seems to indicate that, as yet, not much benefit has been derived directly from it, although the Grand Master is earnestly in favor of the Association. GEORGE WASHINGTON MEMORIAL. This great enterprise is well to the front in Maine, and the Grand Master gives a glowing description of the corner stone ceremonial. GRAND LODGE OF ITALY. Application fDr recognition from this Grand Lodge is before the Grand Lodge of Maine, and, after careful consideration from the Committee, is indefinitely postponed. TRIBUTES TO THE DEAD. Splendid tributes to Past Grand Masters Frank Eugene Sleeper and Edmund Buxton Mallet were paid, as well as to many others who have "laid down the working tools" during the year.

ADDRESS BY DR. DURKEE. Rev. Brother Dr. J. J. Durkee, President of Howard University of Washington, D.

All of which we can well believe, for we have in mind a similar "effort" delivered by the good Doctor, in the Washington Alexandria Lodge Room on November 1, last-one of the best we ever listened to. IN GENERAL. The Craft in Maine seems to be moving along in every way worthy of our great fraternity, and in keeping with our best traditions. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE. This report, which for so many years was from the pen of the lamented Albro E. Chase, is now written by a splendid successor, Rev. Ashley A. Smith, and is in every way worthy. It abounds in good things, and is written in a fine, brotherly, spirit, with no undue criticism. Missouri is courteously reviewed, and kind things are said of us, including the Correspondent, for which we tender our thanks.

COMMMITTEE ON FO~EIGN RELATIONS. The following report is important: This Grand Lodge having received formal notice of the formation of three Symbolic Grand Lodges in the Republic of Colombia, South America-a State whose area is larger than the area of the New England States combined, and therefore a territory which" would readily permit of being divided into three or more Districts or Jurisdictions, each having a Sovereign Grand Lodge with authority and power over the symbolic degrees in its respective territory; and, the Grand Lodge of Maryland having also received a request for Fraternal recognition made by one of these three Grand Lodges, namely, the Grand Lodge of the Republic of Colombia, (Gran Logia de la Republica de Colombia), with its See at Bogata, and having si~ subordinate Lodges in its Jurisdiction, one, 'Velcome Lodge, No. 6; working in the English language; and, your committee having a copy of an exhaustive investigation made by the Committee on For路

EXTRAORDINARY COMMUNICATION. At the hour when all the nation bowed in grief at the tomb of its late President, Warren G. Harding, the Grand Lodge of Maryland m.et in Extraordinary Communication to honor his memory. The Grand Lodge, with its stately ritual for a Lodge of Sorrow, fittingly paid its tribute to the sacred dead, and a very large number of Brethren attended the service.

For instance, here is a paragraph: Masonry was never intended for children nor fools, nor anyone mentally incom.petent, and I should 1iJ..e to impress upon the Craft the necessity for care in the selection of material.

a silk purse out of a sow's ear, neither can you make a gentleman out of a roughneck, and I believe that the standard cannot be too high nor the qualifications-moral, mental and spiritual-too exacting. During this year we have had and al'f~ now having an unusual number of trials. These used to be the exception, but now they seem to excite no comment. More care at entrance would mean a less stringent exit. Quality should never be sacrificed for quantity, and if necessary cut your expenses, so that quantity will have no part in your program. The }H'omiscuous giving' of- Masonic emblems as souvenirs is to be deplored. It cheapens the Fraternity and makes a laughing stock of our sacredness. When Masonry by various means and devices must entertain her membership in order to hold their attention and their attendance there is something radically wrong, and I i'lhould like to see our Masters be what they. should be, i. e., Masters and teachers and labor to instruct and enlighten the Brethren, who are hungering for Masonic knowledge. The harvest is rich, but .the laborers are few.

FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE. The Report on Correspondence is, of course, from the pen of our good Brother, Rev. Dr. Henry Branch, who says in his introduction: "There seems to be a revival of interest on the subject of Education, a most encouraging prospect for those whose supreme idea is LIGHT." Missouri is among the Grand Lodges reviewed, and the administration of Judge Lucas is commended in splendid terms.

[Oct.

Most of the Special Communi-cations were held for purposes of celebrating Jubilee, Centenary or other Anniversaries of various Lodges within the Grand Jurisdiction; and a large portion of the Proceedings consists of "histories" of these Lodges thus honored. All this makes "good reading" and is altogether valuable from the standpoint of the preservation of the traditions and services rendered by the Craft in Massach!lsetts. Massachusetts, being now in the very height of its usefulness and prosperity as a Grand Jurisdiction, does well to preserve these sundry items of its achievements, and every additional volume of the Proceedings will form a unit of historical data, the value of which cannot be estimate'd. MASONIC HOME. During the year a forward movement has taken place by reason of the availability of a legacy through which a large addition to the buildings has been made possible. FIN:ANCES. The Grand Master calls attention to the fact that in spite of their prosperity which, during the last few years has been very wonderful, the regular income of the Grand Lodge is not equal to the demands upon it, and he calls attention to the fact that provision must be made to meet the new conditions. VISIT OF DR. WM. F. KUHN. FulI record is made of the visit of our own Dr. Kuhn, who. as General Grand High Priest of the General Grand Chapter, R. A. M. has visited almost every Grand Jurisdiction in the United States. The Doctor was splendidly received by our Massachusetts Brethren, and had the distinguished honor of rece:ving the HENRY PRICE MEDAL, the first, we believe, to be bestowed upon a' Missouri Freemason. FORlDIGN RECOGNITION. In these days there is much to say in Grand Lodges about the "Recognition of various organizations claiming to be legitimately Masonic, and many claims are made, by means of which it is hoped

to gain the路 desired end. The Grand Lodge路 of Massachusetts is particularly fortunate in having one of the strongest Foreign Affairs Committees in existence, and this year it has been engaged in a very careful consideration o.f Masonic matters in some portions of South America. We are sure that we could give our Brethren in Missouri no better information than that contained in the report 路of this Committee which is composed of such outstanding men. as Melvin M. Johnson, Leon M. Abbott, Fredk. W. Hamilton, Roscoe Pound and Wm. M. James, all of whom are distinguished for their splendid work as Masons. The Report is as follows: RECOGNITION OF GRAND LODGES IN THE UNITED STATES OF COLOMBIA. M. W. Melvin M. Johnson presented the report which follows: In Grand Lodge, Boston, March 14, 1923. To the Most Worshipful Grand Master, Wardens and Members of the Grand Lodge: Your Committe on Foreign Affairs is prepared to report, in part at least, upon the condition of Freemasonry in the Republic of Colombia, South America. The original Masonic body in Colombia was probably a Supreme Council, the exact title of which, however, we have been unable to ascertain. It had, however, jurisdiction over the territory known as "Gran Colombia." This was a Republic founded by Bolivar after the successful termination of the War of Independence against Spain. Bolivar died' about 1829 and shortly after his death this Republic separated into Venezuela, New Granada, and Ecuador, New Granada being the presen t Republic of Colombia. . The evidence of this original Supreme Council is to be found in references thereto in original documen ts now in the possession oJ the present Supreme Councils of Venezuela and Colombia. From. the original Act of Constitution of the Grand Lodge of Venezuela in 1838 (the original of which is in the Academy of History in Caracas), it appears that there was a Most Worshipful Grand Lodge, which is referred to as M. R. G. 1..1. (Muy Respetable Gran Logia), which had jurisdiction throughout the territory of Grand Colombia prior to 1829. A copy of this Act is on file with the Grand Secretary. From this document it also appears that as early as 1824 there was in Venezuela an actively working Masonic organization. It is from this organization that .all of the Masonry in Central America, Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, and Ecuador derived. There is nothing in this original Act of Constitution of the Grand Lodge of Venezuela which refers in any way to a Supreme Council except in numerical value of the higher degrees attached to the names of those who' signed ft. In 1830 Masonry in Colombia路was very active by virtue of the efforts of the then Presiden t of the Republic, General Francisco de P. Santander, a loyal Mason.

Appendix.

[Oct.

During his administration many Lodges were established, mostly on the Atlantic coast, and a Supreme Masonic body was constituted in the City of Cartagena with jurisdiction over the entire country of Nueva Granada and known as the "Supreme Council." In 1833 a Supreme Council was formed for New Granada in accordance with the Constitution of 1786, by 33 members of the former governing body of Grand Colombia who were resident in Cartagena. This new body immedia.tely made application to various Supreme Councils, among them the Grand Orient of :B'rance. No action was taken by the Grand Orient of France, however, until the year 1855, when a report was made, and recognition granted to the Supreme Council of Nueva Granada. Thus, we find that the Supreme Council of Nueva Granada derived from the former Supreme Council for Grand Colombia. It is uncert~in where this latter Body obtained its original powers, but in all probability they came through the Supreme Council of Spain. The Supreme Council of Nueva Granada thereupon became the sovereign Masonic authority over Colombia and exer.cised its powers not only over the degrees from the fourth to the thirty-third inclusive. but also over the three Symbolic Degrees. It is a Supreme Council long recognized by t.he two Supreme Councils of the United States and by all other legitimate Supreme Councils of the world, and it was accepted as such in the Congress of Lausanne. Jurisdiction over Symbolic Masonry was assumed by this Supreme Council by reason of the abs~nce of any Grand Lodge. Had it not been for the work done under the authority of this Supreme Council, there is little indication that Freemasonry would have any foothold whatever in the Republic of Colombia even at this day. In recent years there was also a so-called Supreme Council in Colombia having its See at Bogota. It, too, assumed jurisdiction over the Symbolic Degrees. but did not receive g-eneral Masonic recognition. l<~rom the original Supreme Council sprang the Grand Lodge having its See at Cartagena, to which refcl'ence will be hereinafter made. "..'..,....,l'~... 0

From the Bogota Supreme Council there sprang a so-called Grand Lodge with its See at Barranquilla. For a long period the Ca.rtagena Grand Lodge struggled for sovereignty and the Barranquilla Grand Lodge for Masonic recognition. It seems unnecessary to detail t.he various steps of the long process, but finally a much to be desh'ed end was attained by mutual accord. On August 11, 1921, a treaty was entered into (a photographic copy of which in Spanish and an English translation of which are on file in the office of the Grand .secretary) by which the Cartagena Supreme Council of Colombia recognizes the Very Respectable Grand Lodge National of Colombia with residence in Barranquilla and the Supreme Grand Lodge National of Colombia with residence in Cartag-ena as the only regular authorities, sovereign I and independent for the Symbolic Degrees "for the civil territory within their respective jurisdictions;" and said Grand Longes "recog'nize as the only supreme authol路ity for the degrees from the Fourth to the Thirty-Third. inclusive, the Supreme Council 33 of New Granada (now Colombia) 0

residing in Cartagena." The SU!lreme Council agreed that it would admit to its degrees anI): persons who had proved themselves to be regular members of the particular Lodges of the recognized Grand Lodges; and the contracting parties provided for the establishment later of a Grand Lodge or Grand Lodges covering other territory within the civil limits of the Republic with concurrent jurisdiction in the two contracting Grand Lodges meanwhile. The Barranquilla Grand Lodge covers the Departments of Atlantico, Magdalena, Santander del Norte, Santander del Sur, Boyaca, and Tolime, and the Intendencies of Arauca and Goajira. In March, 1922, twelve particular Lodges held charters from this Gl'and Lodge. The Cartagena Grand Lodge covers the Departments of Bolivar, Antioquia, Caldas and Valle, and the Intendencies of Choco, Saint Andrews and Providence. On February 19, 1922, a third Grand Lodge was regularly established, called the Grand Lodge of the RepUblic of Colombia with its See at Bogota and covering the Departments of Cundinamarca. Huila, Cauca. and Narino and the Intendencies of Meta and the Commissaries of Vaupes, Putamayo and Caqueta. This third Grand Lodge was formed by two Lodges in Bogota and one in Girardot, all three having regular charters from the Grand Lodge in Cartagena. Under date of September 7, 1922, we arc officially advised of six Lodges in this jurisdiction, No. 6 being "W'elcome Lodge," which is the fil'st English-speaking Lodge in Colombia and follows the ritual used by our neighboring jurisdiction of New York. Your Committe finds: 1. That the three Grand Lodges above referred to represent the substantial unity of the Freemasons of the territories over which they assume jurisdiction respectively. 2. 'l'hat each has been lawfully organized by three or more regular Lodges. The Lodges are all of Scottish Rite descent, but are, nevertheless, "regular" within the definition of that word as pointed out by the Committee. reporting the proposed amendment to the Constitutions of Massachusetts on the subject of recognition and presented to the Grand Lodge last September. The constituent Lodges of the Barranquilla Gl'and Lodge were not regular until they were healed, that is to say, until they were recognized and taken into the fold of the other Masonic bodies in Colombia having an un- . doubted title. 3. That each of said Grand Lodges is independent and has entire dogmatic and administrative authority over resident Masons and the Symbolic Degrees within its territorial jurisdiction. . 4. That the rituals are substantially the same as the ritual of the Grand Lodge of England except the ritual used, by Welcomf> Lodge No.6, which is like that used in America. The rituals are, consequently, fundamentally in accord with the ancient landmarks, customs and usages of the Craft as pointed out by Section 714, paragraph 4, of our Grand Constitutions.

is as practiced with us. Symbolic Masonry is divided into threE' degrees of Entered Appprentice, Fellow Craft, and Master Masor. In consequence of authority obtained from England, these Grand Lodges also assume jurisdiction over the degrees of Past'Master and Mark Master, but such degrees are in nowise confused or intermingled with the Symbolic Degrees and are conferred as incidental or side degrees. The legend of the Third Degree is路 followed and differs from the English work only more nearly to resemble the American ritual. 5. That these Grand Lodges make Masons of men only. 6. That these Grand Lodges are non-sectarian and non-political. Their teachings are charitable, benevolent, and educational and in this last respect have made great strides. The Symbolic Lodges in Colombia have for a good many years been maintaining public schools not only in the daytime, but also in the evening for the poor who are not able to attend other schools. Most of the public and private schools of the Republic are maintained by the Roman Church and are pay schools which the poor cannot afford to attend. Colombia is a very large country. The formation of four or five Grand Lodges for the Republic will undoubtedly be necessary on account of the size of the country and the great difficUlty of communication between the various centers of population. We anticipate shortly to hear of the formation of a fourth for the Cauca Valley, one of the richest and most thickly settled distr~cts extending along the west coast for several hundred miles. In spite of persecution, Freemasonry is gaining strength in Colombia. For the first time in fifty years it is permitted to work freely. in Bogota and Pasto. Encouragement from us will tremendously aid the development in Central and South America of the fundamental principles of government for which our institution proudly stands in the United States. Under date of April 24, 1922, we have the request of the Bogota Grand Lodge, and under date of April 27, 1922, the request路 of the Barranquilla Grand Lodge for frate.rnal recognition bearing the signatures of their Grand Secretaries, Bernardo Plato U. and G. Arroyo P., respectively. Your Committee recommends fraternal recognition of and exchange of Masonic correspondence and courtesies with the Grand Lodge National of Colombia (Muy/ Respetable Gran Logia Nacional de Colombia) having its See at Barranquilla, and the Grand Lodge of the Republic of Colombia (Gran Logia de la Republica de Colombia) having its See at Bogota. No request for recognition has been received from the other Grand Lodge which is known as the Most Serene Grand Lodge National (Serenisima Gran Logia Nacional de Colombia), having its See at Cartagena. We beg courteously and fraternally to suggest to our Brethren of Colombia that these names tend toward confusion. Each seems by its title to claim jurisdiction over the whole Republic. It would seem to us that it would be helpful, a.t least to foreigners, if the titles were made less similar and more distinctive.

CONSTITUTION OF THE HARVARD LODGE.

Special interest was manifested in this ceremony inasmuch as the record says, "A colorful and interesting feature was the appearance of the members of the Lodge in academic costumes of the design and color denoting their academic rank and the universities they represented. The peculiar character of the work of the new Lodge was emphasized by the fact that forty-two Jurisdictions were represented in the meeting." GRAND LODGE OF CANADA IN ONTARIO.

The Grand Master reports that: During the summer your Grand Master, accompanied by the Grand Treasurer and Grand Marshal, had the pleasure of visiting the Grand Lodge of Canada in the Province of Ontario, in annual session in the City of Toronto. Other Grand Jurisdictions were also represented, but the occasion was of particular significance through the presence of Lord Ampthill, Pro Grand Master of the United Grand Lodge of England. accompanied by other distinguished officers of the United Grand Lodge of England. This was the first time that an officer of such rank in the Mother Grand Lodge had ever paid a visit to Canada. Our sojourn with the Brethren of Ontario emphasized our previous knowledge of their Masonic attainments, and it was a sour.ce of great pleasure to observe the prosperity and stability of Masonic life in that wide expanse of the Dominion. Your representatives were most generously entertained. Your Grand Master was honored by being a speaker with Lord Ampthill at a great mass meeting of over four thousand held in Massey Hall; and our Grand Jurisdic:tion was 'honored when the Grand Lodge of Canada conferred the honorary degrees of Past Grand Master upon your Grand Master; Past Senior Grand Warden upon your Grand Treasurer; and Past Junior Grand Warden upon your Grand Marshal. Such visHs cannot help but strengthen the bonds of fellowship through the enlargement of a common understanding and mutual appreciation of what the various Grand Jurisdictions are all trying to do.

FIFTY-NINTH ANNUAL COMMUNICATION. The Fifty-ninth Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of Montana began to be held at the Commercial Club in the City of Billings, at 9: 15 o'clock A. M., on Wednesday, August 15, 192 3, and concluded its labors on Thursday, the 16th, at 11: 0,0 P. M. 1

OPENING. The Masonic Quartette, composed of Edward D. Harrington, Manager; William Jones, First Tenor; John H. Eyer, Second Tenor; Edward D. Harrington, Baritone; John F. Cook, Bass, and L. Worth Orvis, Pianist, rendered a selection. After the usual scrutiny preparatory to the opening of the Lodge of Master Masons had been made, the Grand Lodge was opened in Ample Form in the Third, Degree of Masonry by the Most Worshipful Grand Master, Brother Claude J: McAllister, with an appropriate invocation by the Grand Chaplain, Rev. George D. Wolfe, the opeping ceremonies being concluded by the singing of t -.v 0 verses of "America,'路 DEVOTIONAL EXERCISES. Prior to entering on the business of the occasion the Grand Master stated that it seemed fitting that they should have a brief devotional period, and he called upon the Grand Chaplain, Rt. Wor. Brother George D. Wolfe. to lead the Devotions, which he did in very choice terms, and eminently appropriate to the occasion. After this, the Grand Master said: "Brethren of the Grand Lodge, Our Flag! (pointing to the stage). He then delivered the following eulogy, which gives an indic;;ttion of. the Grand Master's resources; Can one think of an emblem more beautiful than Old Glory'? 'Tis said that it was born in 1777, but that cannot be true. It was stit.ched into form at that time, in a little back parlor, but he who would know its origin must look into the dim, pathetic, inspiring nast, It was woven on the Loom of Ages-woven of the dreams and heartbeats of humanity, of the warp of sorrow and the woof of hope -by a great hand stretched out from the unseen. All those who on red fields of war died that their Rons might be free; all who in dark prison cells suffered 'for the rights of man; all who in the long nig'ht of tyranny toiled and prayed for a better day, added threads to OUI' flag. It floats today in the- blue sky, swayed by happy winds. held aloft by innumerable hands of the living and the dead. at once a history and a prophecy.

Appendix.

[Oct.

In old mythology Minerva and Ceres presided over the laboring classes-robed in flaming red. and that color' became their emblem; but it was an emblem of blood~making. not blood-letting; symbolizing the victories of peace, not those of w'ar. Color in ancient Rome separated plebeian from patrician-blue the color of the aristocracy, white the war symbol, and red the emblem of labor and peace. All these colors are blended in our flag. making it the sanctified symbol of unity, fraternity and good-will among men. So may it ever be-flag of freedom and friendship-woven of the "mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land," proclaiming the time-glorified principles wrought out by the tears and prayers of our fathers. Let those who stand under it join hearts in one faith, join hands in one purpose-for the safety and sanctity of this Republic; for the rights of man and the majesty of the law; for the moral trusteeship of private property and public office; for the education of the ignorant; for the lifting of poverty, through self-help. to comfort; for the dignity of the home and the laughter of little children; for social beauty. national glory and human welfare. Long may it wave, rendered for all ages holy by the faith of the men who lifted it up, and the valor of the men who defended it in an hour of madness and peril. May it never again float over a field of war, but ever and forever over scenes of peace, honor and progress.

GRAND MASTER'S ADDRESS. This is the most comprehensive, striking, all around Masonic Address that we have yet read this year" and abounds with many gems of lofty thought. The Grand Master shows evidence of his upbringing-in a Methodist Parsonage, with all the surroundings that make for breadth and vision. The Address is well paragraphed, and the sub-heads are eminently appropriate, e. g. "A Nation Mourns," "Touching the Golden Sceptre," "They that Sleep," "A Glance Over the Field," "Ambassadors of Masonry," "Makers of Men," "Read and Learn," etc. We only wish that our space were such as to enable us to quote extensively from this splendid document, which so adequately sets forth the doings of the Craft in Montana for the current year.

NEVER ALONE. A beautiful painting from the hand of Herbert de Mareau, Jr., has attracted the attention of thousands who, gazing upon its traged'y so vividly protrayed, have turned away in reverent silence, their eyes dimmed with tears as memory recalls the supreme sacrifice paid by some mother's boy in the cause of righteousness and brotherhood.

Appendix.

This entrancing picture which transports one's very being to a higher realm and grips one's soul with irresistible power. depicts a soldier's death on the lone marshes of Flanders. The artist has painted a war scene without any trace of the conflict, solitude without desolation. sorrow without horror. A young French soldier has been shot down in the midst of the marshes and lies with life ebbing fast, his lips apart. his eyes already fixed in the seal of death, his helmet has fallen off, his rifle lies at his side. Alone he lies, not another human being in sight, no comrade to carry the, news to kindred as to how he died for his country. Yet not alone-for by his side. with his arms extended, stands a figurea Being with infinite compassion-the figure of Him who said: "I will never leave thee nor forsake thee." The young artist painted this wonderful picture late in the year 1914. In October, 1918. he met the great experience at the battle of Chateau Thierry, himself an actor in a similar tragedy which he had so realistically pictured four years before. Out of the memory of that terrible conflict in which the nations were cast in the supreme struggle of history for the mastery of right over wrong and the final triumph of the cause of righteousness, Masonry pays homage to those brave and patriotic sons who sacrificed their all to fight for the right. Disheartened in its failure to render practical service to those illustrious men engag'ed in a just cause, and particularly those of its own Fraternal Family, our beneficent Institution everywhere determined that when the clOUds of battle had cleared away and her boys retul'nef1 home they should be honored and praised for their valiant service to their country. In every Lodge room of the Craft througll the length and breadth of our land there still hangs the service banner depicting those heroic Brethren who went forth at the call of their country. Many of them rest today" where the "Poppies gro\\'. rowan row," in the fields of Sunny France. They kept the faith; they fought it throug'h; they crushed the foe. No. they are not alone. for hovering over the silent tombs is the spirit of the Great Heart who will never leave them nor forsake them. Nor are they alone who retul'lH~d battered and scarred and disabled from the awful struggle for, at home again, the outstretched arms of kin and Fraternity welcomed them to places of rehabilitation where rest and care might restore strength and health.

viewed in something like two' pages, with liberal quotations from Grand Master Lucas' Address, and the "Introduction" of the Correspondent. For his kind words we tender our thanks and appreciation. In reviewing "Montana" this year we have noted two things with pleasure and some inquiry, namely: That the last surviving mem bel' of those Masons who organized the Grand Lodge of Montana bore the name of Mather; and that the Grand Chaplain of the Grand Lodge of Montana bears the name of George D. Wolfe. The first reminds us of our own Grand Chaplain, Dr. Arthur Matber; and the second calls to mind a Brother Geo. D. Wolfe, who some eighteen years or more ago was Pastor of Fletcher Place M. E. Church at Indianapolis, Indiana. One wonders if this is the same Brother?

The One Hundred and Forty-third Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the State of New York was opened in the Grand Lodge Roonl, Masonic Hall, City of New York, on the afternoon of May 6, A. Do 1924, A. L. 5924, at two o'c1o~k A constitutional number of Lodges being present (10), the Grand Lodge was opened iIi. Ample Form with prayer by R.路. W ... Thomas H. MacKenzie, Grand Chaplain. GRAND MASTER'S ADDRESS. Owing to indisposition, a large part of the Grand Master's Address was read by M. W. Robert H. Robinson, Past Grand Master, the Grand Master personally reading the conclusion. The opening paragraph says:

In the spirit of humility.and with a sense of gratitude, we meet in this 143rd Annual Communication. Humbly do we acknowledge our weaknesses and failures. With hearts full of gratitude to the Great Architect of the Universe for divine leadership and manifold blessings during the year, we come from all parts of our Grand Jurisdiction to rendel' an account of our stewardship, and to make . plans for the future of our Fraternity. The Maso~ic year, now about to close, has been one of consecration and service; of earnest devotion to the ideals of the Craft, and has been characterized by some measure of achievement. We have endeavored to uphold the banner and,' carry forward the-work of Freemasonry.. to the glory of the Great .Jehovah, and for the service of our fellowmen.

Speaking of the Fraternal Dead, he says:

have not been exempt from those pangs of sorrow that death brings to us every passing year . . In one respect, Grand. Masters' annual addresses are alike in substance if not in form, and that is in recording' for the present and coming generations tl1e roll of our honored dead,-"The arm of frien<lship cannot interpose to prevent His coming,-the wealth of the world cannot !1urchase our release, nor will the innocence of youth, nor the charms of beauty propitiate His purpose." The unrelenting hand of death has, during the past year, as in eVel'y year, taken' from our ranks those we loved and mourn, and it is appropriate that at the outset of our proceedings, we pause and pay tribute to theil' memories..

WELL SAID.

The Grand Master points out the duties and privileges of members as follows: "I want to emphasize the fact that the Grand Lodge Officers and the Masters of the 941 Lodges of the State constitute the Grand Lodge, and that we have all come here to make our reports and to legislate for the future. Each Worshipful Master, as the Representative of his Lodge, has an equal' right with every other member of this Grand Body. to make propositions and speak and vote, and every memlJer of this Grand Lodge, who has an:y suggestion to offer or ~riti~ism路 to make, or resolution to present, will be given an opportunity to do so, and the right to a full and free discussion, within j'easonable limits, and according to Masonic and Parliamentary law. That right is guaranteed to every member of this Body, whether he be a Grand Lodge Officer, or a Past Grand Master, or the Master of the smallest Lodge in the State. If these rights have not been freely exercised by Representatives in the past, it is because they have not asserted their rights and not because any privilege has been denied. Donat hesitate to express your opinion on any question that may arise during this session,"

CEREMONIES. Under this head follows a long list of "occasions" specifically described, and then the Grand .Master concludes by saying: "Besides these thirty-seven ceremonies, and my twelve district meetings, I have attended, during the year, thirty Masonic banquets, twenty-one Masonic anniversary celebrations other than banquets,' and seventy-seven Lod'ge Communications and entertainments outside my own Lodge."

Truly a fine record! DISPENSATIONS, APPOINTMENTS,ETC. The Grand Master gives a list of these which covers more than eight pages of the Proceedings. The Dispensations include 22 for the formation of new Lodges. MASONIC HOME. The Grand Master observes that: The reports of the Trustees of the Masonic Hall and Asylum Fund, and our Superintendent, Brother Wiley, will give the details of our work at the Home and in the Hospital. At this writing, t,here are 521 men, women and children in the Home and Hospital. Our facilities and equipment at the Home are altogether inadequate. The building in which the old people live is antiquated, unreasonably expensive to maintain, and da.ngerous because not secure against the hazards of fire. It is overcrowded, and worthy applicants are now necessarily denied admission because of lack of room. The Trustees have plans for new, adequate and fireproof buildings, which are to be presented at this Communication, and which I hope will be adopted, and ample provisi'on made fOI" the proper care of all our worthy and needy Brethren, their wives and widows, and for all our orphan children who may need our care, in mod'ern and wellequipped buildings that shall be absolutely fireproof.

MASONIC HOME COMMUNITY CHURCH. Superintendent Wiley has recently established a Masonic Home Community Church, with Rev. and Brother R. S. Snyder, D. D., Pastor of the Westminster Presbyterian Church of Utica, minister in charge. Religious services are held every Sabbath Day and are well attended by members of the Home family. Sunday School for the children is held in the Chapel every Sunday_ SOLDIERS AND SAILORS MEMORIAL HOSPITAL. Speaking of this the Grand Master calls attention to the fact that:

Appendix.

In the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hospital, there are about eighty patients. It is being supported by voluntary contributions and must be so supported until a .sufficient endowment fund is established, which, it is estimated, will be ten or more years hence. The Lodges that have not contributed to this fund, are urged to do so. Lodges that have made small contributions, are asked to give more, for the support of this great Masonic charity, and individual members of the Craft who have not contributed or pledged to this fund, may here find an opportunity to engage, at very small cost, in practical Masonic service. It is a medium through which we may discharge our solemn and binding obligation to "help, aid and assist all poor and distressed Master Masons, their widows and orphans." The Hospital is doing a wonderful service, in caring for the sick and incurable, a service that we have been unable to render in the care of sick and helpless people. Brethren, keep this subject before your Lodges; make them familiar with conditions and needs and urge the liberal support of the Hospital, which has a capacity for more than two hundred patients, and to which new l1atients are being frequently admitted. The George Washington Memorial receives commendatory nb-

tice and New York is doing its duty in that respect. BUREAU OF SOCIAL AND EDUCATIONAL SERVICE. This Bureau is New York's practical application of the Masonic Service Program, and it is a wonderful success. R. W. Brother S. Morse, at the head, is one of the foremost Masonic workers in the country, and is making full proof of his stewardship. CHRISTMAS FESTIVALS. One of the finest manifestations of the true Masonic spirit was given in .the City of New York last Christmas, when, under the leadership of the Metropolitan District Deputies Association, 21,0'0'0 children, irrespective of race, color or路 creed were made happy in real Christmas fashion. FOREIGN MATTERS. The Grand Lodge of New York now has Lodges working in Finland, Roumania and Syria, and ""splendid reports concerning these were presented to the session. FINANCES. The Grand Lodge Officers are of the opinion that a new adjustment of the financial system is necessary, and Committee is to work out the plan during the coming year.

REPORT OF THE GRAND SECRETARY. In opening up his report, the Grand Secretary says: "It was decided that the appetites of the Brethren needed to be sharpened, therefore, the report of the Grand Secretary was called for, although it was somewhat past high twelve." The Grand Secretary of North Dakota is a versatile Brother, and always wins the confidence of those who are fortunate enough to make his acquaintance.. He is a great traveller, and distance or fatigue or anything else have no路 terrors to him when on duty bent. Missouri Freemasons who attended our GraI?-d Lodge Session in 192'2 have pleasant recollections of his splendid lecture, delivered to a large audience at the Alhambra Grotto Building in St. Louis. His report is a fine one, and almost as long as that of the Grand Master. There are some fine things which we would quote if our space were not so limited. GRANT SHERMAN HAGER. The outstanding loss to our North Dakota Brethren reported at t1?-is Communication was the death of Past Grand Master and Grand Correspondent, Grant Sherman Hager. A special Memorial Service was held, and an address of sweet appropriateness was delivered by the Grand Secretary, who has been for so long a time the close friend of the deceased. LIBRARY. The Report of the Library is interesting, ana also that of the Masonic Service Committee. There is no doubt about either the activity or the earnestness of our Brethren in North Dakota along lines educational and inspirational. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE. This report brings to the Round Table another Correspondent. 路We welcome Brother George H. Phelps, and hope to read more of his reports. The present one, written under- difficulties, is topical, and sets forth a number of interesting facts culled from the Proceedings of the various Grand Lodges. There is a review of one Grand Jurisdiction-North Carolina-which was written by our late Brother Hager, and which is published as a tribute to the effective work which he did for so long as Grand Correspondent.

formally welcomed these; and requested them to convey the greetjngs of Oklahoma Masons to their respective Grand Lodges. He also called upon M. W. Brother T. C. Humphry, as the oldest Mason among them, to respond. Brother Humphry did so by requesting Brother P. D. Brewer, Representative of the Grand Lodge of Texas, t.o "do the honors" of the occasion. M. W. Brother Freeman, being from Missouri originally, was called upon and said: "Most WOl"shipful Grand Master, I bear to you and to this Grand Lodge the Fraternal greetings of Most WorshipfUl Joseph Shelby McIntire, the Grand Master of Missouri, with whom it was my pleasure to attend the George Washington Memorial Association meeting on the 22nd of February. I asked him what I should say to the Grand Lodge of Oklahoma for Missouri. He said, 'You tell those Brethren down there that we claim three or four or five or six, I don't know how many, Past Grand Masters that received their first lessons in Masonry in the State of Missouri, and that we feel an interest in them such as 'we don't feel, l)crhaps, in any other State in the Union.' He also said to convey to you and to these Brethren his congratulations upon our fiftieth anniversary, and to say to you he sends Fraternal greetings of the one hundred and four thousand Masons of that great State. "He also said that Missouri had contributed forty per cent of their quota to the George Washington Memorial, and he observed from the record that we had contributed five per cent more than they had, and consequently he said at the next meeting of our Grand Lodge he was going ahead of us, and I told him he would have to go some~' "Most Worshipful Sir, this is the greeting I bring to you from the State of Missouri, and from its Most Worshipful Grand Master."

MASONIC HOME. Speaking of this the Grand Master says: "When me met a year ago at Guthrie all Representatives to Grand Lodge had opportunity to examine the buildings then under construction for the children of our Masonic Home family, and Grand Master Swan, assisted by the other Grand Lodge Officers, laid the corner-stone of the Administration Building during the Annual. Communication. The work of completing this Home for our children is now a reality, as the Masonic Home. family have moved into the new buildings, and are delighted with thei.r new home. The total cost of this work is about one-half million dollars. Many persons from other Grand Jurisdictions engaged in such work in other institutions of like character and in child welfare wOl'k, pronounce our buildings and whole plant ideal for its Iluq:>ose, and as, g'ood as can be found anywhere.

GEORGE WASHINGTON MEMORIAL.. The Grand Master describes the events connected with the laying of the corner stone of this Memorial, and speaks of Oklahoma's part therein. MASONIC SERVICE ASSOCIATION. The Grand Master, along with others, attended the Annual Meeting of the Association at Washington, D. C., in October, 192'3, and says he was completely "sold" on this propOSition. This is further evidenced by the extensive and intensive program which has been launched in the State of Oklahoma. NEW LODGES. Seven new Lodges were constituted, and Dispensations for three more were granted. CORNER STONES. Eighteen Emergent Communications of the Grand Lodge were convened during the year for the purpose of laying corner stones of public buildings, churches, schools, etc. DISPENSATIONS TO ATTEND PUBLIC WORSHIP. Six Dispensations to attend public worship were granted to Lodges, who were also permitted to appear in their regalia. RECOMMENDATIONS. The Grand Master made the following recommendations, which

Appendix.

[Oct.

are worthy of study. They show, in reflection, some of the problems which a Grand Lodge can run against: 1. I directed the Grand Secretary to delay the printing of the new edition of the Monitor, as he informed me we would no doubt have a sufficient supply to last until after this Annual Communication. I am aware that there are several errors in the last edition which should be corrected in the next. Many have - also suggested that our ceremony of laying the cornei'-stone should be revised. I therefore recommend that the Grand Secretary be authorized to have a new edition of ten thousand copies oJ the Monitor printed, that he be dire路ct.ed to have the proof carefully read. and that if he is un::tble to proofread the copy himself, he procure someone to proofread for him; and that he revise the ceremony for laying corner-stones, and have the revised ceremony printed in the new edition. 2. On account of. the loss of funds by the Grand Lodge and qu ite a number of our constituent Lodges in banks which have fa ilpd, I recommend that the Grand Lodge and the constituent Lodges designate the bank in which Lodge 路funds are to be deposited, and that such banks be re.quired to secure such deposits by a pledge of bonds or other securities, or a surety bond. 3. I recommend that all members of our Lodges who reside in Oklahoma shall be required to attend at least two meetings during the calpndar year; that on the first of .July in each year' the attendance shall be checked up. and that all resident members who have failed to attend Lodge fo'r the first six months of the year shall be summo'ned to attend a regular meeting. and that. on failure to comply with such summons. they shall be properly disciplined. Provided:-That any member who by reason of age or ill health may be unable to attend. may be excused. 4. The successful and efficient conduct of a Lodge requires that ifs officers shall be conversant with the Masonic law as well as with the work of the degrees, and the Certificate Lecturers' Association. recognizing 路this fact, have by resolution provided that each lecturer taking his examination for proficiency, shall also take an examination in the law and regulations. Therefore, I recommend that the following edict be made and designated as Edict No. 16:That in addition to the examination provided in Section 45 of the Constitution, each' candidate for a certificate of proficiency entitling him to hold schools of instruction, shall pass an examination in Masonic Law. The committee to prepare the questions owthe law and hold this part of the examination for a certificate of proficiency, shall be selected' by the Grand Master from the Certificate Lecturers. -5. Section 6 of the Grand Lodge By-Laws provides that each Lodge sl1all remit with the annual and semi-annual reports on or before the' 20th days of January and July the dues and fees required by law, and provides that a penalty of five per cent shall be added to the dues and fees for each month's delay; and still a goodly number of the Lodges continue to be delinquent in making such reports and remittances, and the Lodge suffers thereby.

Appendix.

1924.]

I therefore recommend that the penalty of five per cent run for only two months, and that it shall not exceed ten per cent o'n the whole amount; that if the report is not made and the dues and fees remitted within sixty days after the same becomes delinquent, the Grand Master shall suspend the Master and Secretat:y of the Lodge until such time as the delinquency is cured.

FOREIGN .CORRESPONDENCE. This report, which occupies about one hundred pages, is the work of M. W. Brother T. C. Humphry, P. G. M., and is very readable throughout. Reviewing Missouri, among other good things, Brother Humphry refers to a picture contained in our last year's Proceedings as follows: A group of officers is Rhown on a page of the journal, five in number. Grand Master Joseph S. McIntyre. Deput~' Grand Master Orestes Mitchell. Senior Grand 'Warden W. W. Martin, Junior Grand 'Varden .John Pickard, Grand Treasurer Wm. A. Hall and Grand Secretary Frank R. Jesse. From appearances, the Oklahoma Scribe decides that. the G. M., the S. W., and the G. S. will -admit 路that they are good looking, while the D. G. M. has some doubts on the SUbject, and the G . .J. W. and G. T. agree that it is a waste of time to dispute' on the subject.

His reference to the work of our Correspondent is so compli路 mentary that modesty forbids our quoting. Nevertheless, we appreciate our good Brother's words.

Brown, while the Report of the Committee on Foreign Correspondence accompanies the Proceedings in a separate volume. SEVENTY-THIRD ANNUAL COMMUNICATION. The Seventy-third Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons of Oregon was called to order in Multnomah Hotel, Portland, Wednesday, June 13, 192路3,

Appe1td~x.

[Oct.

10 o'clock A. M., by the M. W. Grand Master, G. G. Brown. . The Grand Secretary, D. R. Cheney, caIled the 1'011 o( Grand Lodge officers. All were present. Loud and continued applause greeted the calling of the name of the M. R. Grand Chaplain and Honorary Past Grand Master, J. R. N. Bell, who expressed his thanks for the tribute. The Grand Secretary informed the Grand Master that the requisite number of constituent Lodges were represented to open the Grand Lodge, whereupon the Grand Master caIled upon the M. R. Grand Chaplain, J. R. N. Bell, who gave the invocation. The Grand Master then declared the Grand Lodge opened in Ample Form. DISTINGUISHED VISITORS. A number of distinguished visitors were received, among whom was Past Grand Master Wm. L. Andrews, of Virginia, who was conducted to th~ Grand East and who conveyed greetings from that Grand Lodge and explained the project carried on by the Masons of Virginia for the building of a memorial to George Washington, as man and Mason, near Alexandria, on the south bank of the Potomac River. This, he said, was to be a national Masonic memorial, and within the halls of the building would be chiseled the names of those whom Masons have delighted to honor in the various states by electing them to preside in the G'rand East, including the names of those so honored by Masons of Orego.n. His address was greeted with applause. DISTRICT DEPUTY GRAND MASTERS. The Roll of the District Deputy Grand Masters was called and those present retired, and were escorted into the _Grand Lodge by the Grand Marshal, and were路 thanked by the Grand Master for their services during the year. PAST GRAND MASTERS. The Rolf of the Past Grand Masters was路 called and eighteen responded to their names. GRAND MASTER'S ADDRESS. This is a document covering some eighteen pages, well arranged throughout, and setting forth plainly the chief items that have engaged the Grand Master's attention during the year.

1924.]

The Grand Master states that one of his first duties was to conduct the funeral of Past Grand Master Yoran, and says that Bro. Yoran will be greatly missed by his Brethren of the Grand Lodge. VISITATIONS.

Under this head the Grand Master says: Upon assuming- the office of Grand Master, I realized that on account of my official duties, my visitations to the constituent Lodges would be very limited, and through the kindness and generosity of R. W. Brother WalterA. Denton, District Deputy Grand Master of District No.5, I was enabled to bring- to the Craft my personal greetings, and to afford them the privileges of listening to Brother Denton's very interesting and instructive lectures on Masonic philosophy. ~.,~ All but four Lodges in the state were permitted to listen to this inspiring addrcss, and from reports received, I am certain that a great deal of good was accomplished, and this Grand Body owes Brother Denton a debt of gratitude for his valuable services. In this connection the attention of the Grand Lodge should also be called to the very valuable aid l'cndered to the Grand Master by all the District Deputy Grand Masters. I believe that no single act of legislation passed by this body has been such an assistance to the Grand Master in the administration of his office as the amendment providing for the appointment of these officers. They bring the Grand Master into close tou~h with all the Lodges in the .Jurisdiction, and he is by this means enabled immediately to secure reliable information on l)Qints of controversy, witjlOut a personal visit, which in many cases would be impossible. On account of the many Masonic students in attendance at the ,Oregon Agricultural College at Corvallis, I thought it best to creatc a special district, No. 18, for that city, and designatcd R. VV'. Brother D. B. Stuart as District Deputy Grand l\'l:aster. At this time I desire to tender to these officers my heartfelt thanks for and appreciation of their careful and prompt attention to all matters submitted to them.

FINANCES.

The finances of the Grand Lodge are in good shape, and the new arrangements made for bookkeeping seems to be everything that could be desired. Taken altogether, the Grand Lodge had a very pleasant and profitable session, and the work of the Craft is prospering in that' Grand Jurisdiction. FOREIGN CORREJSPONDENCE'.

Jurisdictions whose Proceedings reached the Grand Correspondent are reviewed. Speaking of Missouri, Brother Mason says: After receiving hundreds of proceedings in the years we have prepared the report on correspondence, and becoming accustomed to the form of opening Grand Lodges, we are especially impressed with the prayer of the Grand Chaplain of Missouri and the conviction Utat opening a session in this manner secures poise and clearness of thought for the deliberations to follow.

The Administration of Judge Lucas is favorably spoken of, and a complimentary reference is made to the Grand Correspondent in .a commendation of the manner in which his report is gotten up. For this we desire to tender our hearty thanks.

The frontispiece is the familiar Masonic Temple at Broad and Filbert Streets, Philadelphia, and there is a fine steel engraving of Grand Treasurer Charles E. Roberts. IN MEMORIAM. Brother Frederick C. Seitz eulogized the life of Past Grand Master John S. Sell in splendid terms, and the Junior Grand Warden, R. W. Brother J. Willison Smith read an appropriate obituary of the late John Wanamaker, from which we excerpt the following paragraph: The fame of this Grand Lodge in the coming years will be, in a large measure, due to his enthusiastic zeal in developing our library and museum. The record of his life is one of continual personal interest in furthering the cause of Christian fraternal fellowship. Uncounted thousands of men have been recipients of路 his interest and personal favor; many more have been benefitted by his teachings. and civilization has been helped forward by his wonderful life. His example measured four square to his creed, which embraced everything forwarding the betterment of humanity; all classes and conditions

1924. ]

without regard to religious or civic status were subjects of his good intentions and recipients of his bounty. He never stumbled by accident into great advantages; his alert mind conceived and developed the wonderful things he accomplished. He was plumb, level and square in mind, heart and performance. In every line of endeavor he was a pre-eminent teacher of men. It has been rightly said"There are times, men and events about which History alone can record the accurate judgment; contemporaries and personal observers may only write what they have seen and heard."

The Committee on Library also made extensjve record of Brother Wanamaker's great services to that Institution, and also paid tribute to the memory of Dr. Samuel W. Latta, for many years Chief Medical EJxaminer of the Pennsylvania Railroad and an outstanding Craftsman for fifty years. Brother Latta, like Brother Wanamaker, was deeply interested in Masonic Education and the things that matter most in our Fraternity. JOSEPH KRAUSKOPF. The passing of Rabbi Krauskopf, for long years one of the Grand Chaplains of the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania, was appropriately noted by the Grand Lodg.e, and the District Deputy Grand Master, Brother Adolph Eicholz, delivered a well-merited eulogy. The }ollowing paragraph will be read with interest: We remember with what rapt attention the members listened .when, with his clear melodious voice, and in earnest words that caused us to reflect, he invoked the Divine blel5sing. At the time of Brother Krauskopf's death many eulogies appeared in the public prin ts in all parts of the United States, for he belonged not solely to the community in which he had lived for over thirty-five years. His reputation had extended even beyond the bounds of this country. Coming to America as a boy of fourteen years, he was thrown entirely upon his own resources, an older brother having been murdered near Princeton. He found employment as a clerk in a store ~t Fall River, Mass. It was not long before he was enabled to realize his ambition to become a Rabbinical student, and in due' course he was graduated from the Hebrew Union College of Cincinnati. Members of our Fraternity are presumed to be religious men. But true Freemasonry disregards distinctions based upon creeds and theological dogmas. I shall therefore refrain from a recital of his work as a minister, except to say that in the discharge of his duties he was impelled by an .intense feeling that he had an obliga- â&#x20AC;˘ tion far beyond his immediate congregation. With the history of his people as a background-a mournful tale of nearly 2000 years, . in which European rulers and European mobs, professedly Christian, had so perverted the teachings of love and charity of Jesus as to mercilessly persecute the members of the race from which He and

[Oct.

the Apostles had ~prung-Rabbi Krauskopf, upon every occasion, sought to discharge his duty as a citize-n of the country in which liberty of conscience was recognized and in which civil rig'hts were secured, irrespective of race 路01' creed. How well did he discharge this duty? Time will not permit a detailed account of his many local activities in the City of Philadelphia, having for their object the fostering of patriotism on the part of its inhabitants and the improvement of living conditions among the peOl)!e in general. President McKinley in 1898 appointed Doctor Krauskopf as one of the three special commissioners of the National Relief Commission sent to Cuba during the Spanish-American '\-Var. The United States Department of Agriculture sent him as a special commissioner to report on exhibits of agricultural schools in Europe. '\Then the United States declared war against Germany, he was appointed a director in the Food Conservation Departmen t under Herbert Hoover. He devoted many mOil th" to th is work, to the excl usion of his other duties. He knew well how to attract the attention of the public to his utterances, and he used his ability in the interest of the public weal. A man of vision, he was unlike so many dreamers, in that with a tireless energy and a wondel'ful pel'sistence, he brought about success whel'e hundreds of other men would have failed. His power of persuasion, combined with a remarkable organizing' ability, converted scoffing critics into ardent supporters.

MAKING MASONS AT SIGHT. The deaths of John Wanamaker and Rabbi Krauskopf call to mind the fact that they, with another whose name we do not for the moment remember, were made Masons at Sight by Grand Master William J. Kelly; in an Erpergent Grand Lodge held on March 30, 1898. It is somewhat remarkable that two of the three should be "translated" to the Celestial Lodge on High during the same year; and that each of them should have written themselves so large on the pages of Masonic and humanitarian history. It was our good fortune to know both of these Brethren, and we can testify to the intrinsic worth of both. A WARNING. The following is interesting:' The Right 'Vorshipful Grand Master informed the Grand Lodg't: of, and gave warning concerning, the indulgence of a member of a Lodge in this Jurisdiction, in obnoxious and unlawful electioneering in the interest of a candidate for the, office of Junior Grand Warden, by sending circular letters to Secretaries of a business as .. sociation, who were not even members of the Masonic Fraternity

1924.]

and some of whom were meinbersof a 'secret religious order, soliciting their aid in obtaining the votes of Representatives of our Masonic Lodges in their respective cities and towns, at the annual election in December next.

GRAND MASTER'S ADDRESS. As is well known, the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania holds Quarterly Communications, and the usual address of the Grand Master is generally delivered at the Annual Communication, at which it is also customary fbr the incoming Grand Master to deliver his "salutatory." At the Quarterly Communication held September 5, 1n3; the Grand Master gave an interesting resume of the fifty years occupancy of the present Temple, which is now rapidly becoming too small for the needs of the Craft. He gives a large number of very interesting facts, showing the fortunes and growth of the Fraternity in the City of "Brotherly Love." Unfortunately, our space is much too limit.ed to quote. In his Annual Address the Grand Master refers, in businesslike manner to "what has been done and is being done" in the Grand Jurisdiction, from which 'we gather that matters Masonic are exceedingly prosperous in Pennsylvania Masonry. An Educational Fund of $50,000, donated by a Brother whose name is withheld, is assisting six sons and two daughters of Master Masons. MASONIC LECTURE CORPS. A Masonic Lecture Corps has been organized and is setting out with' great vigor, backed by a handsome appropriation from the Grand Lodge. EMPLOYMEJNT BUREAU. This is one of the best in the country.

Last year it placed

958 applicants who earned aggregate salary of $1,215,2:52, or an average salary of $1,258'.63.

KU KLUX KLAN. Of this the Grand Master says: I earnestly ul'ge upon OUI' Brethren to keep clear of association with the Klan. It cannot have anything but a short life. Our people are too law abiding, too sensible, too fair-minded, to long tolera.te any intel'feren<;e by one class with the lawfUl rig'lIt", of any other class.

LAFAYETTE. Missouri Masons will be interested in this announcement: On August 15. 1924, will occur the 100th Anniversary of the landing of Brother Lafayette in New York Harbor. and which. initiated his final visit to this country which extended considerably over a year. during which he was entertained by his Masonic Brethren throughout the United States. This occasion is one which should be suitably commemorated by. the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania.

A WONDERFUL GROWTH. The Grand Master says: It may not be out of place to review briefly the happenings of

the past eight years. The membership on December 27, 1915, was 120,576, and there were 497 Lodges. Eight years later it. was over 192.000 and there were 541. Lodges; 'l'he increase in membership in eight. years has been approximately, 60 per centum. In December, 1915, there were three charity funds administered by Trustees, the Grand Lodge Charity Fund, the Girard Bequest, and the Thomas R. Patton Memorial Charity Fund. To these have been added the Samuel Davis Bequest and the Educational Fund. There were in 1915 in all nine Funds or Bequests, each in charge of Trustees. There are now seventeen, an increase of eight. In 1915 the Trustees reported the aggregate assets of all the Funds to be $1,577,270.16. Now the a.ggregate is $3,642,787.68.

ADDRESS OF THE NEW GRAND MASTER. Immediately after his Installation the incoming Grand Masler, Right WorshipfUl Brother Samuel M. Goodyear, addressed the Grand Lodge, making pointed observations concerning "large Lodges," the "Social Side of Masonry," "Committees of Inquiry," "Clandestine Masonry," "Lawlessness," and "Some Constructive Work," all of which indicates that the Chief Executive of the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania is in touch with the Craft, and the Brethren will not suffer from want of proper instruction. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE. This report is again from the versatile pen. of Brother Thos. F. Penman, and is in excellent fClrm. Missouri is generously treated in four pages, although we are somewhat amused with the remarks anent our Report of 1921.

We turn with great interest to the review of the Proceedings of the Grand Lodge of the Philippine Islands for 1923, finding them assembled in a very neat and compact volume, excellently printed, and splendidly arranged. The Grand Secretary, P. G. M. Newton C. Comfort, is to be congratulated on their general make-up. ANNUAL COMMUNICATION The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the Jurisdiction of the Philippine Islands convened in Annual Communication in the Masonic Temple, 90 Escolta, in tild City of Manila, on Tuesday, the twenty-third day of January, A. L. 5923, A. D. 1923, at 4 o'clock p. m. At the hour set the Most Worshipful Grand Master, Hon. Quintin Paredes, sounded the gavel and called to order the members of the Grand Lodge. There being a constit~tional representation present, the Grand Lodge was opened in Ample Form, prayer being made by the Grand Chaplain, Very Reverend Charles S. Banks. The Prayer 'of the Grand Chaplain is of a very high order, and judging from the method of transacting business, the whole sessions of the' Annual Communication were on a lofty plane. GRAND REPRESENTATIVES. The Grand Master welcomed, officially, 62 Grand Representatives in the following well-chosen words, to which Brother Judge Amasa Scott Crossfield suitably responded: WELCOME MY BRETHREN: I bid you and the Grand Lodges which you worthily represent a hearty welcome. Upon seeing you in our midst as' representatives of our Sister Grand Lodges, we realize tha.t \VC are not alone in the great work which Freemasonry has to perform, and that ours is a universal Fraternity. Your presence is an encouragement to us, and the success of the Grand Bodies you represcn t, an inspiration. Tell the Grand Lodges whom you represent that it is a source of gratification to us to be associated with ~hem in the common

task, and that it is our desire that our Fraternal /'elations may en....d ure forever. No institution in the wo/'ld is be~te·r. able than we ",re to help humanity at this time, when symptoms 'of impending- commotions and indications of great disasters are again noticeable. "VI) hope the influence of our principles will make itself felt in the solu. tion of the conflicts by which the world is faced, and that men and nations will treat each other with Fraternal love, on the le"el and on the squure, and keep their passions within due bounds by circumscribing their desires with the (~OIllJH1SS. Brethren, I welcome you to the Eleventh Annual Communication of our Grand Lodge. RESPONSE HRETHHEN OF THIS GRAND LODGE: In the name an~ on behalf of those Grand Lodges of which T am the Grand Representative, and for those Grand Lodges which are represented here by my Brother Grand Representatives, I wish to extend to you, Gra.nd Master, and to every Brother in the Philippine Islands, our most heartfelt greeting'S; for. my Brethren, OU[' hands come to you across the sea and aCI:oss the land, with the same ideals and the same high 1)ur))Oses which you so greatly revere and so well practice and which are those which inspire all Masons, and which bind them together t.hroughout the world. "Ve believe that. here you shall esta.blish those principles of Masonry which we love and which we hope you will love to maintain. \Ve say to you, Most Worshipful Grand Master, and thc Brethren, God Speed, and may the Grand Lodge of the Philippine Islands grow in strength and un ity through the years t.o come; and it is our wish that Masonry may so grow throughout the Philippine Islands.

THE GRAND MASTER'S ADDRESS

is a very able d'ocument, revealing conditions which cause our int~nsest sympathy with our Brethren in the Archipelago. It is very gratifying to know that Masonry is thriving so wall, under the circumstances; and we congratulate our Brethren on their remarkable showing, of which the following figures give some indication: 1919 Number of Lodges organized ........ 52 Number of initiations reported ...... 537 Number of passings 463 Number of raisings ............... 673 Number of affiliations ............. 155 Number of restorations 25 Number of dimits issued . . . . . . . . . 164 Number of deaths . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 43 Apparent net increase for the year .. 639 NClmber of Ma~ter Masons .......... 3543 •••••••••••

IRREGULAR AND CLANDESTINE LODGES. Speaking of th,ese the Grand Master says: One factor in our Mason ic I ife which has had a tendency to retard progress and creat.e discord and dissension among our members is the presence here of clandestine and irregular Lodges chartered by the Grande Oriente Espanol in the last two years. To our great astonishment, a few of our members have proven disloyal to our Grand Lodg-e and have gone over to the irregular Lodges and the transgressors of Masonic law instead of remaining true to their own Grand Lodge. The responsible officers of the Grande Oriente Espanol promised at the Conference of Supreme Councils at Lausanne that they would not act contrary to the wishes of their American Brethren so far as the Lodges of said Grand Orient in the Philippine Islands were concerned, and we are expecting to receive news of some definite action from Madrid. ordering those Lodges closed. We hope this will be done as soon as possible, in order t.hat the ruinous discord which is daily 'growing, may give way to harmony and we may resume without hindrance our work for the betterment of humanity. To this effect I have expressed myself in the letters I have written to the Grand Officer~ of the Grande Oriente Espanol, with whom we have been in correspond'Once concerning this particular.

DISTINGUISHED VISITORS. The Grand Lodge just missed a visit [rom the Prince of Wales by a few hours. His R. H., however, was kind enough to send a message of fraternal regre.t, and also of good will. Later, the Grand Lodge passed some highly complimentary resolutions of congratulations upon the Prince's elevation to the Senior Grand Wardenship of the Grand Lodge of England. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE. The Report on Correspondence is the work of a Committee of which P. G. M. George R. Harvey is Chairman, and it is excellent in every way. Missouri is very courteously reviewed, and considerable quotation given, for which we tender thanks. It was a great pleasure to this writer to meet M. W. Brother Harvey at Alexandria, Va., last ~ovember, on the ever memorable occasion of the George Washington Memorial Corner Stone Laying; ~nd to know that our Philippine Brethren. are so enthusiastic in this great undertaking.

_ <!ain, 52_~..; The Proceedings of the Grand Lodge of Quebec for 1924 come to our table in the familiar make-up which has characterized them for years, and reflect credit upon the Grand Secretary. ANNUAL COMMUNICATION. The Most Worshipful The Grand Lodge of Quebec, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, held its 54th Annual Communication in the City of Montreal, in the Province of Quebec, on the 13th day of February, A. D. 1924, A. L. 5924, at the Masonic Temple, Dorchester Street. R. Wor. Bro.' W. J. Ewing, Deputy Grand Master, having taken his position and ascertaining that the -various stations in Grand Lodge were occupied, and that a constitutional number of Lodges were represented, called Grand Lodge to order, whereupon the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, preceded by his Grand Director of Ceremonies and District Deputy Grand Masters, and accompanied by the Most Worshipful the Past Grand Masters present, entered, and having assumed his chair, the Grand Lodge was opened in Ample Form. The M. Wor. Grand Master ordered that all Master Masons in good standing, who desired to visit Grand Lodge at its present Session would be permitted to do so, upon being duly vouched for. R. W. Bro.' Rev. W. J. Johnston, D. G. C., offered up prayer. The Grand Secretary then read the rules and regulations governing Grand Lodge during its Session and the order of business. ANNUAL ADDRESS OF THE GRAND MASTER. The Grand Lodge of Quebec has distinguished itself this year by splendid advance in many ways, and it has honored itself greatly in the election of M. W. Brother, the Rev. Canon Allan P. Shatford as Grand Master. The work of the year, as portrayed in his Address, and as reviewed by the Committee on Grand Master's Address is inspiring indeed, and we heartily congratulate our

Brethren of the Far North on their prosperity a~d achievements. In the introduction to his Address the Grand Master makes appropriate reference to "the losses sustained bY' death in his own Jurisdiction, and mourns with the Brethren of other Jurisdictions that have sustained similar losses. CONSECRATIONS. Under this head the Grand Master mentions two which are of interest in that they show something of the distances to be traveled in order to serve the Brotherhood. On June' .16th, 1923, accompanied by a very large delegation of Grand Lodge Officers and Brethren from Montreal, I tl'aveled to Hudson and consecrated Hudson Lodge, No. 98. The cosy room was somewhat cl'owded but it did not interfere with the dignity and solemnity of the ceremony. There is a skilled band of officers presiding at Hudson and the interest in Masonry is keen and informed. There was a pleasant 'gathering at the Town Hall after t-he ceremony when many exceIJent speeches were made. among them one from the D. G. M. who had made the journey from Richmond in order to be present. On October 21st, 1923, I traveled the long journey to Kenogami, accompanied hy the Grand Secretar~", the G. D. of C., R. V路l. Bro. Lomax and other Grand Officers. where we consecrated Saguena~' Lodge No. 97. '\Ve were royally entertained during our visit. The Brethren motored us over to Chicoutimi and conducted us throug-h the Pulp and Paper Mills, afterwards dining us at the Company's spacious Club House. There was an excellent turnout of Brethren. considering the nature of the employment th'ere, and we felt quite satisfied that. a most promising futul'e is ahead of Masonry on our far northern border. Bro. Sir William Price most kindly placed his beautiful summer home at our disposal. so. there was nothing left to be desired in the way of comfort. The Master; Officers and Brethren of Saguenay are of the type to guanwtee the truest success.

A PREACHER GRAND MASTEJR. The following paragraph is interesting indeed: During the past year I have been frequently asked to preach to the Brethren of the various Lodges. Whenever I felt I could be of- genuine service I accepted the invitation. Thus I have had tile privilege of preaching to the following Lodges: April 8th. 1923, to Allenby Lodge, No. 89, in St. Clement's Church, Verdun. April 19th. 1fl23, to Royal Arthur, No. 85, in Delorimier Presbyterian Church. April 29th. 1!l23, to Kilwinning, No. 20, in St. James the Apostle. May 20th, 1923, to Ionic, 1\'0. 54, ill St. James the Apostle. June 17th, 1923. to Hudson, 1\'0. 98, in Hudson Church.

Oct. 14th, 1923, to Victory, No. D4, in Taylor Presbyterian Church. Oct. 28th, 1923, to Thistle, No. !lG, and A)'gyle, No. 65, in Grace Church, Pt. St. Charles.

Jan. 27th, 1924, to St. Andrew's, No. 53, in First Presbyterian Church.

THE EVENT OF THE YEAR. The Grand Master's description of his visit to Alexandria, Va., gives the impression which that great occasion made upon one from a Canadian Jurisdiction. Our readers will enjoy it: On All Saints' Day, November 1st, 1923. a ceremony, unique in the history of Masonry on this continent, was held at Alexandria, Va., U. S. A .• when the corner stone of the \Vashington Masonic Memorial was laid at Shooters Hill. I accepted the invitation to be present and was accompanied by the Grand Secretary and Grand Director of Ceremonies. We were' given an honored place in the proceedings, next to t.he G. M. of Virginia. Every Grand Body in the United States was rept'esented, there being 49 Grand Masters present. The procession was an im.pressive sight, being formed by 30,000 Masons relHesenting all·branchesof the Order. The Navy and Army had detachments present as well as the Air Service. It was a most distinguished assembly, the President of the U. S. A., and the Chief Justice being' personally present. Your Grand Master was permitted to join with the others in using the trowel for the cementing of the corner stone. The largest battleship in the American Navy fired a royal salute. To those of us who were present, it seemed a tribute to Masonry. Our order was given a national place, nay, an' international place, for the Grand Lodge of England was represented at this memorable service. In the' evening a huge banquet was held when the speeches were delivered by outstanding men and the principles of ·Masonry were broadcast over the continent. It ,.,ras a privilege to be present and I feel confident that you will approve my official attendance on this historic occasion.

of 54 different Lodges. This fairly wide ministry has enabled me to understand and appreciate the condition of the Craft in this Jurisdiction, and I am glad to report that prosperity and peace, happiness and harmony, loyalty and love prevail throughout our borders. It has been for me a year of delightful fellowship and inspiring service; today my heart is full of affec!tion and gratitude for the honor you have done me, and for your unfailing sympathy and support. In the words of the poet, my Brothers, I bid you to your task: "The Crest and Crowning of all good, Life's final star, is Brotherhood; For it will bring again to earth Her long-lost Poesy and Mirth; Will send new light on every face, A !(ingly power upon the race. And till it comes we men are slaves, And travel downward to the dust of graves. Come, clear the way, then, clear the way; Blind creeds and kings have had their day. Break the dead branches from the path: Our hope is in the aftermathOur hope is in heroic men, Star-led to build the world again. To this even t the ages ran;. Make way for Brotherhood-make way for Man." -Edwin Markham.

'W.Brotlier Abbott, sets off the initial page, and the Address~eIivered by 'hi~ at the ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-THIRD ANNUAL COMMUNICATION, covering nearly sixty pages is an unusually complete one, setting forth the various phases of his administration in splendid forni. The Grand Lodge of the Most Ancient and Honorable Society of Free and Accepted Masons' for the State of Rhode, Island an~ Providence Plantations was opened in Ample Form in Freem~sons Hall, Providence, Monday, May 211, A. L. 5:9'213, at ten o'clock, A. M., by t1)e Most Worshipful Grand Master, Brother Norris Greenleaf Abbott, assisted by the officers of, the Grand Lodge in their respective stations, and also the representatives, of thirty-seve'n Lodges. . Brother William M. Ponton, M: W. Grand Master of Masons in the Province of Ontario, Canada, was escorted into Grand Lodge and introduced. to the M. W. Grand Master by the M. W. Past Grand Master William H. Scott. Brother Ponton was welcomed by the M. W. Grand Master, accorded the Grand Honors and seated in the East. Brother Joseph Lawton, M. W. Past Grand Master,' introd'uced Brother Arthur M. Brown, M. W. Grand Master of Masons in Co.nnecticut, who was accompanied by Brother Arthur" N. Nash, R. We. Junior Grand Warden and Brother Thomas McKenzie, M. W.Past Grand Master. They were w:elcomed by the Grand Master, escorted to the East and saluted with the Grand Honors and given seats in the East. Rhode Island has a lodge on Block Island, and the Grand Master makes mention of an interesting visit to it. He .says: On April twenty-eighth, 1923, a Fraternal visit was made to Atlantic Lodge Number Thirty-one, Block Island. For many years, this Lodge has been working at a great disadvantage by not having an opportunity to witness an exemplification of the degrees, due to its geographical location and the inability of its officers to visit Providence. The last visit of a Grand Master to the Island was in 1919 when Most Worshipful E. Tudor Gross exemplified theE. A. Degree, 'b'ut memory faIls to recall an exemplification of the Second' and Thh'd Degrees in this Lodge by Representatives of G~and Lodge..

[Det.

This occasion was made a District Exemplification and in addition to the Grand Officers, there were present the Masters of Saint Johns Lodge Number One, Newport, Washington Lodge Number Three, Saint Albans Lodge Number Six, Junior Warden of Saint Pauls Lodge Number Fourteen, Senior and Junior Wardens' of Saint Albans Lodge Number Six. The Entered Apprentice Degree was exemplified by Worshipful Brother Benjamin H. B. Charnley, Master of Harmony Lodge Number Nine, with a line of officers composed of Past Masters and active officers of our local Lodges. The Fellow Craft Degree was exempli- _ fied by Worshipful Brother Evan L. Morris, Past Master of Mount Vernon Lodge Number Four, with the same officers. The Master Mason Degree was exemplified by Most Worshipful Brother Wilbur A. Scott, Master of Roosevelt Lodge Number Forty-two, with a slight change in the line of officers. All of this work was under the immediate direction of the Grand Lecturer.' The three degrees were exemplified in a dignified, imp'ressive and accurate manner and made a deep impression on the Brethren of Atlantic Lodge. The Officers of the Lodge were profuse in their expressions of appreciation of the visit and of the great good that would result to them by this instruction and also that it would be of inestimable service to the Craft on the Island. Worshipful Brother William L. Sharpe gave an inspiring and instructive talk on the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man, following the outline of the Masonic Service Association. This was thoroughly appreciated and enjoyed by all. The close contact of our many visiting Officers with the Brethren and Officers of Atlantic Lodge provided an opportunity to explain and correct many misunderstandings in the Ritual and in Lodge procedure. It was a great sacrifice on the part of the Brethren who made this journey to the Island and the twenty-eighth of April, as you may remembe,r, was the beginning of a severe storm which culminated in a gale before midnight of that day. There was some doubt of the boat being able to make the trip and the physical condition of the greater part of our company was much upset by the voyage over and the work of the afternoon was rendered under somewhat trying circumstances. That night saw a sixty-mile gale with three barges foundering off Point Judith, the Captain of one being drowned and seven lives lost just southeast of the Island. It was doubtful if the return trip would be possible on the next day, but changing conditions allowed a safe return in the late afternoon just in advance of a Southwest gale. Altogether it was a memorable trip and Grand Lodge and the Grand Master are deeply indebted to these Brethren who so willingly gave this service to the Brethren of Atlantic Lodge for the advancement of ,Freemasonry.

AN INTERESTING FIND.

The Grand Master says: Discoveries ofitnportance are not confined to the Valley of the Kings, or far off lands. It seems strange that this bUilding could contain a document that. as far as can be learned, has never been examined and was not even known to be in existence. Such, however, seems to be the case. It was some time early in the year that your Grand Master expressed his desire to see all the old curios and other property belonging to Grand Lodge. Several articles of historic value were found in a damaged condition. Among them was the original Civil Charter granted to ..Grand ~odge in 1812, which having been surrendered in 1834, was restored to Grand Lodge in 1861. Also the old Charter granted to American Union Lodge during the Civil War, together with other papers. . Reposing in a corner of the vault, was an old box containing several articles of interest. Among them was a tin box, the contents of which the Grand Secretary did not know, but after opening it, said he had glanced at it casually, but had never known its purport. He also said, that to the best of his knowledge and belief, no one knew of its existence. He had found it in a corner of the office of our former Grand Secretary, Brother Edwin Baker, and had placed it ,In our vault where it had remained unexamined until the present time. A slight re+erence is made to it in Dr. Rugg's History of Freemasonry in Rhode Island. In a copy of a letter sent by the members of King David's Lodge of Newport, in December, 1787, in response to a communication from ~ the Grand Lodge of Virginia, it is mentioned, but no copy is shown nor is it referred to in the body of the book, as would surely have been the case had it 'been available. It is a Deputation on parchment 17"x14" wide from "Jeremy Gridley, Grand Master of all Free and Accepted Masons in North America, where no other Grand Master is appointed," to Robert Jenkins of Newport, "appointing him Deputy Grand Master of Masons in the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations with full power and authority in due form to make Masons and Constitute and regulate Lodges and there to do and Execute ali an;a: every such other Acts and things Appertaining to said Office as u'stially have been and ought to be done and executed by a Provincial G'fttnd IVlaster." I . ,;.1路 It is dated January 24, 1760, and bears the signature of Jeremy Gridley, Grand Master, Robert Jenkins, Deputy 路Grand Master and John Leverett, Grand Secretary.

IN GENERAL. Tak,en altogether, the progress in the Grand路 Jurisdiction is eminently in keeping with the march of the day, and Freemasonry is doing much good in its various fields of usefulness. fhere is no Report on Correspondence.

The Proceedings of the Grand Lodge of Sas'katchewan for 1923 are introduced with a splendid portrait of Dr. J. W. MacNeill, the incoming Grand Master, and reveal a year of steady progress in that rapidly increasing Grand Jurisdiction. THE SEVENTEENTH ANNUAL COMMUNICATION of the Grand Lodge of Saskatchewan convened in the City of Moose Jaw, Sask., Wednesday, June 20, 1923, i.n St. Andrew's Church. After cordial welcome from the Deputy Mayor of the City, and appropriate responses by Rev. Canon J. K. Irwin, and W. Bro. W. M. Martin, the Grand Lodge was open,ed in Ample Form by the Grand Master, prayer being offered by the Grand Chaplliin. RECEPTION OF GRAND REPRESENTATIVES. These were formally welcomed by the Grand Master, who requested each one to forward the felicitations of the Grand Lodge to the bodies to which they were accredited. GRAND MASTER'S ADDRESS. This is a brief document, in keeping with the demands of the occasion, and every way worthy of the Grand Lodge and Grand Master. In opening the Grand Master observes: Some seventeen years ago-to be specific, on the 9th day of August in the year 190G-there assembled in the Masonic Temple in the City of Regina a few of the by no means numeI'ous Masons resident in the newly organized Province of Saskatchewan. Their purpose was that of launching a Grand Lodge for Saskatchewan,

102

Appendix.

[Oct.

of erecting another Grand Jurisdiction in the new West. In this laudable enterprise they were assisted by a number of the Grand Lodge officers from the Mother Jurisdiction of Manitoba, who jOUl'neyed to Heg-ina for the express purpose of instituting a Grand Lodge in the new Province, and of indicating and demonstrating their good will, and their g'ood wishes for the future success of the baby Grand Lodge whose members had hitherto been so closely identified with the Grand Lodge of Manitoba. Masonry, at that time, was not in the same flourishing condition in the West as it is today. The number of active Masons on the Grand Register of Manitoba, then resident in what is now the Province of Saskatchewan, was in the neighborhood of 700, yet despite this small enrollment of Charter members, such was the energy and optimism displayed, that success followed success; the new Grand Lodge rapidly demonstrated her right to a place among the older Grand Jurisdictions of the Dominion and the efforts put forth by those zealous brethren of the earlier days were more than justified in the remarkable development that followed. No one who is in any way familiar with the successful record of this Grand Lodge can fail to note the sense of responsibility as well as the utter absence of personal ambition and advancement with which the work of the Grand Lodge was carried forward. We trust that those on w'hom the responsibilities of instituting this Grand Lodge fell, and some of them are with us stilI, will be succeeded from year to year by men equally worthy to bear the burden, able to perform their duty with a single eye and purpose for the good of the Cause, that its usefulness may long live and flourish.

THE FRATERNAL DEAD.

Speaking of these the Grand Master makes reference to the outstanding services rendered by the late M. W. Brother Geo. B. Murphy, as prominent citizen of Moosomin, and the Committee oli Necrology commenting upon the same brother says: It seems to be more than a mere coincidence or accident of circumstance that the town of Moosomin should have been blessed, under Providence, as the home of so many illustrious citizens who have contributed in such large measure to the best Masonic and Judicial life of Saskatchewan. Grand Masters, Judges, Statesmen, and outstanding citizens have added lustre to the reputation of this historic town. May the brethren of Moosomin Lodge (No.7) truly appreciate their noble heritage and keep unsullied such a worthy and unparalleled inheritance.

THE BENEVOLENT FUND.

This Fund seems to be very near to the heart of the Grand Master, who speaks eulogistically of the efforts of the Brethren to build it up. In the near future it is expected that it will total at least $200,000.00.

While there seems to be nothing unusual, yet the various interests in which the Grand Lodge is engaged are all flourishing, and the best men of the Province seem to be attracted to our great Fraternity. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE. This Report is again from the pen of that splendid man and Mason, M. W. Brother W. B. Tate, and while not lengthy, yet it is equal to the best of those that have gone before it. Missouri, for路 some re.ason Or other, does not appear in the list of the Grand Lodges reviewed. We suppose our Proceedings failed to reach Brother Tate in time for incorporation.

The Proceedings of the Grand Lodge of Scotland for 1924-25 are before us, and are mainly interesting for the long lists of names furnished therein of those who are entitled to sit in the Grand Lodge. and the catalog of Lodges, scattered throughout the world, which are at work under the Grand Lodge of Scotland. It is stated that the Grand Lodge meets quarterly at 3 P. M. on 1'hursdays, February 7, May 1, August 7 and November 6; and that the Grand Lodge will meet for the Installation of Grand Officers on Wednesday, December 3, 1924, at 3 P. M. and at 5 P. M. the same day for the celebration of the Festival of St. Andrew. Some idea of the extent of the Grand Jurisdiction of Scotland may be formed when it is stated that, in addition to the Lodges located in Scotland, there are Lodges situated in India (83), Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Transvaal, Orange River Colony, Rhodesia, Mauritius, West Indies, Newfoundland, Gi1?raltar, Peru, Chile, China, Japan, Arabia, Egypt, Syria, Fiji, British Guiana, Panama, Philippine Islands, Korea, Turkey, Siam, Honduras, Dutch Guiana and Mesopotamia. The Grand Lodge administers a large Benevolent Fund, and is doing a wonderful work along the best of Masonic lines throughout its boundaries.

The Proceedings of the Grand Lodge of Australia for 1923, in addition to the usual record and statistical tables, are enriched with portraits of the Deputy Grand Master, Senior and Junior Grand Wardens, and also a splendid illustration of the new Masonic Temple which, we presume, by this time, is ready for the use of the Brethren at Adelaide. The Temple design is the result of a competition among the architects of the Grand Jurisdiction of South Australia, members of the Craft, and from what we can learn, is in every way appropriate to the needs of Freemasonry in that jurisdiction. LODGE FINANCES. The principal subject before the Grand Lodge seems to be the matter of dues. The rapid increase in costs of living, rents, etc., is not confined to America. All the world seems to be in a process of transition, and South Australia along with the rest. It appears that, for some time, Lodge incomes from dues, or rather, as they say, subscription, is by no means sufficient to keep things going, that is, without entrenching upon the Initiation Fees. To remedy this a proposal to amend the Constitution at this point was introduced, and debated with considerable interest, and at length. The proposal was a sort of graduated scale idea, which ,,,ould apparently arbitrarily fix the dues of the Lodges at certain sums. The question was raised as to whether Grand Lodge could thus interfere with subordinate Lodges, but it was determined by the Grand Master that such a proposal was within the Constitution. . After a long discussion, by eminent Brethren on both sides, the proposal carried in one Communication, and was subject to confirmation at a Special Communication to be held thirty days later. At the Special Communication the proposal was defeated, and the Lodges will have to face their own problems indiVidually.

The Proceedings of the Grand Lodge of Tasmania for 1923 are before us in a little pamphlet containing much of interest. Consisting of only thirty-six Lodges, scattered throughout the Island of Tasmania, Masonry is making itself felt in the development of our common civilization, and the Brethren composing these Lodges are worthy of all commendation for their loyalty and enthusiasm. The Proceedings before us contain brief records of four Special Meetings of the Grand Lodge, and also those of the THIRTY-SECOND ANNUAL COMMUNICATION, which was held at the Masonic Hall, in the City of Launceston, Tasmania, on Saturday, February 24th, 1923. The Annual Communication was overshadowed by the news of the passing of the late R. W. Brother Chas. Ramsay, P. D. G. M. Brother F. P. Bowden, made reference to this by moving the following resolution, which was adopted, and several suitable comments were made by other Brethren: We, the members of this Grand Lodge, express our profound sorrow at the loss sustained by Freemasonry by the sudden death of R. W. Bro. Charles Ramsay, P. D. G. M., and our heartfelt sympathy with his wife and family in their profound grief. Yet we do not sorrow as men without hope, and we regard w},th deep thankfulness the memory of his cheerful personality and unfailing devotion to â&#x20AC;˘duty, and record our appreciation of the fine example he has left us of a long and usefUl life which diffused the light and lustre of brotherly love on all within its circle.

In se~onding this resolution, V. Wor. Brother A. V. Steer, of Davenport stated: That he was in rather a peculiar posit.ion, as it was well known that he was intimately connected with the late Bro. Ramsay, whose work for Masons on the Northwest Coast, as well as other parts of Tasmania, was done wholeheartedly, and was solid in its foundations. Bro. Ramsay thought nothing, when required, of going out of his way in order to further Masonry in any way, and you, Most WorshilHul Grand Master, know that when he was sen t he always did his utmost to further the interests of the Lodge. On the Northwest Coast there is a void which he did not think would ever be filled.

1924.]

Appendi%.

107

Bro. Ramsay was known to every Mason in the Northwest Coast .Jurisdiction, and his friendship was such that if one could call him a friend it was something to be proud of; he carried this friendship both inside and outside of the Lodge. It was quite impossible to put into words the thoughts which would adequately express one's emotions and appreciation of the valuable services rendered by the late Bro. Ramsay. The motion was carried by Brethren standing.

REGULATION 158. We not.e that in changing some of the "Regulations" the following was added to No. 158': Whilst recognizing'that loyalty to one's native land is an essential qualification in Freemasonry, I also recognize that only those are acceptable' who conform to every lawful authority and uphold the interests and prosperity of the State in which they reside by promoting peace, cultivating harmony, and living in concord and brotherly love. I also recognize that disloyalty is a serious Masonic offense. I will conform to every lawful authority and uphold the interests and prosperity of the State in which I reside.

GENERAL ITEMS. From the brief records at hand we note that the Craft is prospering in this wonderful little Jurisdiction that nestles under the Southern Cross, and furnishes added proof, if such were needed, of the amazing influence Masonry exerts in aU corners of the habitable earth. The following excerpt, taken from the "Or~tion" of Very Worshipful Brother Rev. H. B. Atkinson at the Consecration of "Tamar Valley" Lodge is expressive of the heart-longing of 'thousands of Craftsmen: In olden times, as I have said, the "masterpiece" meant the master of craft. Today calls not so much for masterpieces in stone as for masterpieces in men. We look for men filled with the spirit of adventure for, and fired with the daring of the Kingdom of God, To this end, Most Worshipful Grand Master, you will surely look to every Lodge under your care, and to this new one in particular, as a place where Mason.s are both speculative and operative, speculative with a vision of the possibilities of the future, and operative to be themselves, and to produce by their influence masterpieces in human form, men whom men are proud of, men whose every act is evidential proof that they are masterpieces of a Mason's example. The world needs such men today because the world is wearied through selfishness and greed, through envy and hatred and malice. There is no place for any of these in a Mason's heart, and that is why I advise every member of this Lodge that he should, in som~ such way as I suggest, be operative as well as speculative. What

108

more fitting factory for such masterpieces than a Masonic Lodge? A place dedicated to the highest service to which men are called. The practice of those virtues which. mould men so that their own brotherhood stretohes out hands of recognition to the Fatherhood of God. The one the foundation of the other, as the other is the super-structure of the one. Today is a day for which the Grand l,odge of Tasmania. has waited for 30 years. For today Tamar Valley provides another link in that chain of manly love which will one day bind men in our island home together to counteract the disintegrating forces of selfishness and indifference. The existence of this new link is justified, only if those who form the link are conscious of the world's need and are prepared to meet it as Masonry helps them, by turning out men who are masterpieces, and who are recognized as being such through the handiwork of the Master, Officers, and Brethren of Tamar Valley Lodge.

Grand Master we -note that his educational equipment was developed at the famous Webb School and Vanderbilt University, and that his Masonic distinction is ritualistic. All of which would indicate a "strong man" at the helm in Tennessee for this year of light and grace. ANNUAL COMMUNICATION.

Centu'des have come and gone, empires have risen and fallen, war and pestil~nce have devastated the land, but those simple prinCiples, rites and ceremonies which have been transmitted from 'lip to lip; and from Mason to Mason, 'from the completion of the Temple, have' lost none of their appeal to the minds and consciences of men. The silent influences which emanate from the I altar of Freemasonry have, through, the support of individual Masons, been a potent factor in almost every organizat-ion which has for its purpose the 'promotion of the Ch~istian religion, the advancement of education, or the relief of the ilnfortunate.

'The Grand Lodge has an Emergency Fund, created in the summer of 191'9', and the Grand Master asked for a more definite ruling from the Grand Lodge, it having been necessary for him to order a warrant for $2'0,000- from it to the Board of Control of the Masonic Home. The following is the answer of the Grand Lodge to' the Grand 'Master's request: It is the opinion of your Committee that this fund is a Trust Fund in the hands of the Grand Master, placed there by the Masons of Tennessee to be used by him in meeting emergencies that may' arise unforeseen and unprovided for in the conduct of the Masonic Widows' and Orphans' Home. Such an emergency raised the fund in the summer of 1919. The funds available for that year, it was seen, would become exhausted not later than August 1, and unless some provision should be immediately made, the Home must at that time be closed and its inmates left to survive as best they could, which condition arose from causes beyond control. No authority was vested anywhere to borrow the money or pledge the credit of the Grand Lodge. In an emergency so great "all pledges and funds obtained as the result of this appeal were remitted through the Coun ty Chairman to Grand Secretary, to be held by him in an emergency account and disbursed only from time to time on personal order" of the Grand Master. (See appeal of Acting Grand Master, pages 32 and 33, Proceedings of 1920.) The above sets forth the conditions attending the gift of this fund by the Masons' of Tennessee, and under this the fund should be held and used as a sacred pledge by succeeding Grand Masters. It is a personal trust, in the Grand Master, Which he can use in the discharge of that trust for the purposes for which created without direction or authority from the Grand Lodge.

THE OUTER DOOR. The following is so apropos of the modern trend that it is worthy of careful consideration by. all Fr~emasons: Masonry expects that every applican t shall be physically and mentally fit. He should be capable not only of earning a liVing for himself, but also for those who have claims upon him for support. A man, to be truly a Mason, shOUld have within him a desire to bestow charity. To seek admission into our order for the purpose

â&#x20AC;˘ of receiving charity, or for the benefit such admission might be worth to the applicant, is evidence that the applicant is not properly prepared to be made a Mason. At the outset, every candidate must affirmatively answer that he possesses the desire to be of service to his fellowman. If he is .not able to care for those dependent upon him, how can he render .such service? We should carefully consider the motives which actuate those who petition us for membership. It was never intended that the order of Free and Accepted Masons should become an insurance order. ÂˇYet viewed as an insurance order, it furnishes possibly the most attractive proposition which the entire world offers. Let us take what is a fair average where a Mason dies and leaves a widow and children to be cared for by the fraternity. The approximate annual .cost of each resident at the Home is $240.00. The annual expense, then, of a widow and two children will be $720.00. If we add to this the proportionate interest upon the amount Which has been invested in groundS, buildings and equipment necessary for their care, we can conservatively figure the benefit which the dependents will receive as equal to $900.00. It is conservative to figure the benefit received bY' a widow and six children at $2,000.00. Yet, for this benefit the average member has probably paid an initiation fee of $25.00 and annual dues for not exceeding twenty years at $2.50 per annum. This gives an entire total of $75.00 paid, for which the dependent members of a family receive up to $2,000.00 per annum. I repeat, the Masonic fraternity furnishes the cheapest insurance of any company or order in the world. Instances are not lacking where a Mason has advised his wife upon his death to seek admission to the Ho~e for herself and children, and there are strong grounds for suspicion, at least, that the Mason looked rather to the Masonic Order to undertake the burden of the care of his dependents than to his own provision for the same. In the same class as those referred to above is to be placed the Mason who takes a dimit at a time when he is capable of being worth something to his fraternity and his worthy distressed brother, and who later in life seeks readmission in order that he may have at least a home given him when he has become enfeebled by age or disease. We should inquire of such who seek readmission whether or not they have been willing to bear the heat and burden of the day. Attention is called to these facts that we may not be imposed upon by those who seek admission or readmission to our fraternity from unworthy motives. Masonry has been called upon for so much charity within its own ranks that it has lacked ability to bestow much charity upon the outer world. It is a matter of pride to us all, however, that those who have taken t-he so-called higher degrees have become interested in establishing hospitals, for admission to which no previous relationship to a Mason is required. Much of the dissenti(;m which occasionally creeps into our order .may be avoided by a more careful inquiry into the character of the applicant, his domestic relations, his church affiliations, his habits, etc. \ l

SPECIAL COMMUNICATIONS. -Three Special Communications of the Grand, Lodge are recorded for purpose of paying funeral honors to Past Grand,Masters: T. ,C. Yantis, A. B. Watkins and William M. James. Two Special Communications were also held for the' purpose of laying corner stones-one of the Her~ann, Hospital at Houston, and the other of the Gray-Temple Masonic Temple at Houston. EIGHTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL COMMUNICATION. In compliance with the provisions of, the Constitution of. the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Texas, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, the Eighty-eightb, Grand Annual Communication was held at the Grand Masonic Temple, in the City of Waco, commencing on Tuesday, the 4th day of D~cember, A. D. 1923, A. L. 5923,at 1(} o'clock A'. M. ' The vacant chairs, caused by the deaths of Right Worshipful T. C. Yantis, Past Grand Master, Right Worshipful A. B.

forth. of the various items of interest connected with, the year's administration. The address is well paragraphed and abounds with much that is deeply interesting to the average Brother of the Craft. \ The Grand Master observes that the membership in Texas has more than doubled in the last ten years, and that, during that time, Texas Masonry had a greater growth than in all the seventysix preceding years of its history. This phenomenal, not to say abnormal, growth is doubtless responsible, in many ways, for the problems which faced the Grand Master in his year of office. CAMPAIGN FOR MASONIC HOME BUILDINGS, ETC. The Grand Master set out to raise, or complete the raising, of a fund, equal. to five dollars per capita, for the Masonic Home and School; and after a vigorous effort, confesses to some disappointment that, in spite of unusual financial conditions, the response was not equal to his expectations. But, this is just one of those things which indicate how much there路 is to be done if Masonry is to bring up the rank and file of our Brotherhood to the standard which the demands of today call for. "It is more blessed to give than to receive." This is the truth of all truths that is needed to be emphasized in our Lodges just now, that is, if our- great Fraternity is to continue to exert that mighty influence upon civilization which has hitherto been its good fortune so to do. Nevertheless, despite the temporary setback, our Texas Brethren will sooner or later complete their great effort, and do it in a manner befitting their place in our great Craft. EDUCATIONAL INTERESTS. The Grand Master calls attention to these, and also to matters connected with Charity of a larger nature than that merely contemplated within the boundaries of the individual Lodge, and speaks with gratification of the response given to his suggestions. THE FRATERNAL DEAD. Appropriate reference is made to the passing of three Past Grand Masters, and the former Grand Treasurer, as well as to the Brethren of other Grand Jurisdictions.

MATTERS OF DISCIPLINE, ETC. A number of disciplinary cases are cited in which the Grand Master evidences a wise judgment in his dealings. TUBERCULOSIS HOSPITAL AT FORT BAYARD. Mention is made of this, and the fact also is stated that a room in that institution has been equipped by the contributions from the Grand Lodge of Texas. LAHNECK LODGE No. 1,18-6, DEMISED. Mention is made of the demise of this Lodge which, as mapy will remember, was constituted at Coblentz, Germany, for the benefit of the Masons in the Army of Occupation. Due provision is now made for the facilitation of those Brethren who desire to unite with other Lodges in this country. MASONIC CLUBS, ASSOCIATIONS AND INSURANCE. These matters are referred to by the Grand Master, and are also among those things which are constituting "problems" which_ call for adjustment. MEXICAN MASONRY. The Grand Master has quite a lengthy paragraph on this matter, some obscure Grand Lodge in Mexico having applied to him for recognition. Of course, he deals with it in his characteristic spirit of fairness, but recognizes at once that Mexican Freemasonry is in a very muddled condition. NEW LODGES. Fifteen new Lodges were constituted during the year. CONCLUSION. In concluding his Address, the Grand' Master says: Masonry is erected to God. It is therefore fitting and proper that the rooms in which we gather in respect to Him, that the aprons we wear as emblems of innocence, that the paraphernalia we use, be neat and clean. I have visited in lodge rooms that evidenced a customary indifference to cleanliness. An indifference to this simple matter is indicative to me of indifference to Masonry, for it might

Grand J~odge has authorized the use in lodge rooms of the American flag. This beloved emblem floats over the very chair. I now occupy, yet in many Lodges I have been in there is no flag.

While this date is a bit early, another date could be accepted for the same purpose and we could hand to future generations of Masons monuments of beauty to the fruits and the benefits We have received.

"Proceedings" a Review of the "Proceedings" which come to hand from the various Grand Lodges of the world, it was arranged that the Grand Representative of each of those Grand Lodges should prepare a brief statement of events of general Masonic interest occurring within the Territory represented. by him. These accounts were to be forwarded to the Grand Secretary and edited by a Committee appointed by the Board of General Purposes. A list of the "Proceedings" reviewed is appended. . The Editorial Committee decided that any Review should, as far as possible, be limited to a maximum of 500 words; that events of purely local interest should not be reported; and that criticism (favorable or otherwise) when based upon a possible misapprehension as to the Masonic law and practice prevailing in that Territory should be carefully avoided. Matters of general interest might include: Number of Lodges, aggregate membership and total fundsshowing loss or gain for the year; exceptional achievements in the cause of benevolence and education; the enactment (or proposed enactment) of any law or regulation appearing to involve a departure from generally-accepted Masonic usage; and new ideas of value (and the contrasting of methods) in the administration of the affairs of Grand Lodge (or sUbordinate Lodges), particularly regarding the admission of candidates for initiation, the standing of visiting Brethren, etc. To the Brethren of the particular Jurisdiction under review the publication in our "Proceedings" of a brief Report of their doings can be of but small interest, except as indicating how others see them. But it is a feature which to our own Constitution can become of great value by affording to our Brethren a birdseye view of the Masonic world; their faith in our Institution will be strengthened and confirmed by the world-wide evidences of effective Masonic effort along the lines of benevolence, education, and general helpfulness; and their knowledge of Freemasonry as a vital Institution and of its customs and its laws (mutable and immutable) will be broadened and clarified.

which is a good thing for the printer, but an expensive item for the Grand Lodge. In fact we note that the Finance Committee suggested that this custom of printing the Lodge Roster be abandoned, but the Grand Lodge seemed to路 think otherwise, and the suggestion was not adopted. EMERGENT COMMUNICATIONS. Preceding the record of the Annual Communication are those of several Emergent Communications, among which is that which was convened on November 1, 1923, at Alexandria, Va., for the purpose of laying the corner stone of the GEORGE WASHINGTON MEMORIAL. In reading carefully the names of those recorded as present at that important Communication we miss any mention whatever of the presence of Representatives from the Grand Lodge of Missouri, and presume that this must be due to an oversight, or that some part of the official register of the day was missing when the record ,was made up. As a matter of fact, the Missouri Delegation to the corner stone ceremony was one of the largest-some two hundred Brethren from various Lodges in our Grand Jurisdiction being present. In the Hall of Alexandria-Washington Lodge at the opening of the Emergent Communication' of the Grand Lodge of Virginia, Missouri was represented by her Grand Master, M. W. Joseph- S. McIntyre; Past Grand Masters C. H. Briggs, R. R. Kreeger, Frank R. Jesse. and Bert S. Lee (one of the Vice-Presidents of the -George Washington National Memorial Association); Orestes Mitchell, Deputy Grand Master; Rev. Dr. Arthur Mather, Grand Chaplain, and Ray V. Denslow, Grand Marshal. Missouri was further complimented on that occasion by the fact that Virginia's Grand Chaplain, Rev. 路Dr. F. T. McFaden, requested her Grand Chaplain, Rev. Dr. Arthur Mather to offer the prayer at the opening of that historic Communi路 cation of the Grand Lodge of Virginia; and Past Grand Master R. R. Kreeger was chosen as a Bearer of one of the Lesser Lights. It is not necessary to say that the Missouri Brethren greatly en路 joyed every part of that great day's proceedings, and Missouri's part in the financial end of that enterprise will be in keeping with all other Grand Jurisdictions. AN INTERESTING OCCASION. Another Emergent Communication of the Grand Lodge is reo

corded, at which the Third Degree was conferred upon the son of Past Grand Master, H. O. Kerns, who, it appears, was born during the sitting of the Grand Lodge at which the father presided as Grand Master. A large attendance was recorded, and included sixteen Brethren who were present in the Grand Lodge when announcement of the birth of the Grand Master's son was made. The record says: "The Charge was delivered from memory by C. Agney Swineford, Worshipful Master of Chester Lodge No. 94, the youngest Master in Virginia, aged twenty-three." ANNUAL COMMUNICATION. The One Hundred and Forty-sixth Grand Annual Communication of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons of the Commonwealth of Virginia was held in the Masonic Temple in the City of Richmond on Tuesday, February 12, A. L. 5924, A. D. 1924. The Grand Lodge was opened in Ample Form by the Grand Master, assisted by the Grand Offieers. . Reference was made to the unavoidable absence of the Grand . Junior Warden, R. W. Brother James Bowman, who was prevented by severe illness from taking his station. It was stated that this was the' first time in. twenty-nine years that Brother Bowman had missed.a session. A telegram of sympathy was ordered to be sent to him. GRAND MASTER'S ADDREJSS. This is a document of very high order, abounding in lofty thought and sentiment, and fully in keeping w~th the gifts and graces of its author. Opening, the Grand Master says: I am happy to greet the representatives of Virginia Masonry, as we !lssemble in this historic city, for our one hundred and fortysixth Grand Annual Communication, and I am assured that you come as the bearers of glad tidings; that you come to this annual reunion with a feeling of pride in your Masonic accom'plishments, and happy in the thought that peace路 and harmony prevail in your fraternal family circles. An open book on yonder altar lies. Standing this day within the shadow of that Book of Books, that great Light in Masonry, "our hearts gloW with gratitude to the great and beneficent. Author of our existence," ,\Vhose we are and Whom we serve, "fo"r the manifold blessings and comforts" we have enjoyed during the year. How delightful it is to again meet and exchange friendly greetings, after another year has fiown, and how reassuring it is to know that we dwell together in unity, and are united in one common object, and pressing forward to one common goal.

DISTRICT DEPUTY GRAND MASTERS. Speaking of these, the Grand Master says: "They have given a splendid account of themselves in faithful service during the year." He also says: "As an indication of the activities of the yea~, I might add that I have seen person:;tlly, since our last Annual CommuniCation, forty-five of our fifty-eight DistriCt Deputy Grand Masters, and my -voluminous correspondence has kept me in close touch with practically all of them." HISTORIC MASONIC VISIT. The Grand Master notes in his Address that: One of the most pleasant incidents of the year was the fraternal visit of Doric Lodge, No. 316, of Toronto. Canada, to AlexandriaWashington Lodge, No. 22. of Alexandria, on June 30th, at which time I "had the distinction arid pleasure of welcoming our Canadian Brethren to this Grand Jurisdiction. Masonically, it was historic, as Doric Lodge is the first Lodge of any part of the British Empire to fraternize with the Virginia Lodge over which Worshipful Brother George Washington pres,ided some one hundred and forty years ago. The Alexandria Brethren, unde"r the' leadership of Right Worshipful Chas. H. Callahan, Deputy Grand Master Chester A. Gwinn, District Deputy Grand Master Frank 'V. Latham and Worshipful Bro. A. C. Moss, Master of No. 22, as usual did themselves proud in the role of hosts. A banquet was served in the afternoon, and in the evening our visiting Brethren conferred the Master Mason's Degree. The Canadian party included about sixty members, among whom were Worshipful Brother E. H. Prattis, Master of Doric Lodge, Very Worshipfuls J. A. Montgomery and J. A. Cowan, the latter the editor of "The Freemason" of Toronto, and many other distingulsheQ Brethren. Your Grand Master has since been made an honorary member of Doric Lodge, No. 316, a compliment which he most warmly appreciates.

FORT BAYARD, N. M., UNDERTAKING. The Grand Master speaks sympathetically of this, and' acknowledges the courtesies which Virginia Freemasons have received through its agency. He ordered a contribution of $250'.00 sent from the Grand Chari ty Fund. VISITATIONS. The recorded list of these is long and interesting, indicating that the Grand Master and his Grand Officers were tireless in, their desire to reach as many of the individual Lodges as possible.

THE ORDER OF DE MOLAY. Referring to this the Grand Master says: On April 6th a request for my endorsement was received from the Deputy in the State of Virginia for the Order of De Molay for Boys. This order had its inception in Kansas City, Mo., three or four years ago. Its members are confined to the sons of Masons and their companions. Boys between the ages of sixteen and twentyone are eligible to me'mbership, and the order has had a remarkable growth. I declined for obvious reasons to lend my official endorsement to the movement. It is a well settled principle that the Grand Lodge of Virginia recognizes Lodges and Grand Lodges only, and this time-honored rule and precedent has worked wisely and well. So many organizations are trying to attach themselves to the ancient Craft that I frequently find myself in bewilderment. I am not a prophet, and I freely admit my inability to even approximate the ultimate results of these new organizations. I am firmly convinced, however that the policy of this Grand Lodge is right, and that any other course would likely have the effect of weakening the efficiency of our organization and of scattering our forces, and I might say, our resources. Our wives and mature daughters are organized; our boys are banded together; the girls of the family circle have not been overlooked; and the only department of home life that has escaped the attention of the present-day organizer in the name of Masonry is the.infant department.

GEORGE WASHINGTON MEMORIAL. The great event of the year, Masonically speaking, in Virginia, and the world, for that matter, was the laying of the corner stone路 of the magnificent Memorial to George Washington, the Mason, which is now rapidly materializing on Shooter's Hill at Alexandria, Va. The Grand Master's official account of this which he presented to his Grand Lodge is so complete that, as a matter of historic importance we herewith reproduce the same for the pleasure of those of our readers who were unable to join our Missouri Delegation in actual participation in those never-to-be-forgotten ceremonies: REPORT ON CORNER STONE LAYING. On August II, 1922, I received an invitation to lay the corner stone of the Memorial to Washington, the Mason, at Alexandria, Va.. which was accepted. About the first of July this year this was renewed, and I immediately took the neceSsary steps to make arrangements for this ceremonial. The importance of the occasion could not be overestimated, and Virginia, above all other Jurisdictions, I thought, should be well represented, and, with this object in view, proceeded to organize Committees to assist in the necessary arrangements. The results were extremely gratifying, for never in all its

histor~ were there assembled a greater number of the members of this Grand Jurisdiction. No positive record of the exact number present from Virginia is obtainable, but the best available sources of information estimate that at least 7.000 were present from this Jurisdiction and participated in the function. A Local Committee of Alexandria Masons, with Right Worshipful Brother J. E. W. Timberman as Chairman, was appointed to cooperate with your Grand Master and the Board of Directors of the Memorial Association, and upon this Committee devolved the great mass of detail arrangement necessary to handle the complex situation on the day of the ceremony. It was difficult and even impossible to compute the number of visitors expected to be present, but some basis for their calculations had to be agreed upon, and; after very carefully considering the whole subject, the Committee concluded to base their calculations on an attendance of 40,000 visitors with 20,000 in line of procession; and so perfect was every detail of the pre-arranged plan executed .that this computation seems to have been approximately correct: We shall not attempt to describe the scene or to portray the dazzling splendor of the spectacle witnessed from the Temple site, but confine our remarks to the facts in the case. I arrived in Alexandria on October 31st, the evening before the ceremony, and immediately got in consultation with the Deputy Grand Master and the Chairman of the Local Committee; and. after consulting with these Brethren, it seemed to me that every detail had been carefully worked out. Late in the evening we visited the site of the Temple to survey the field, as it were. and to mal{e a final inspection of the premises. Nothing in the line of preparation seemed wanting. A platform to accommodate 1,100 people had been erected around the corner stone; great amplifiers had been installed by the Federal Government to carry the voices of the speakers to the assembled throngs expected to be present; and a complete broadcasting system had been installed to carry the messages to every part of the United States. The arrangements, I thought, were complete, and subsequent events proved this opinion correct. We had expected to deposit the memorials in tne receptacle prepared for the corner stone on the evening before the ceremony. Owing to the late arrival of the contributions of two Jurisdictions, this feature was postponed until the morning of the first. The great leaden box with a holding capacity of six and one-half cubic feet. which is in excess of three bushels, was in waiting, ready to receive its treasure. and the lead burner had been brought from Baltimore to seal the cover. In fact, all was in readiness but the contributions of two States, and, as stated, the deposit was postponed until the next morning. November 1st dawned clear and beautiful. A crisp northwest wind drove away the t.hreatening mists of the night before, and nature's great orb arose above the Maryland hills to cast its first rays upon the Temple site as your Grand Master, his Deputy and several of the Brethren arrived on the scene to assist in depositing the contributions of the Grand Lodges in the receptacle. The articles were all the!'e. Not a single Jurisdiction was missing, and these contributions were deposited by your Grand Master and his Deputy in the presence of perhaps forty or fifty of the local Fraternity. Even

at that early hour those assembled upon the Temple site looked- down upon scene that beggars description. The clans were beginning to assemble-caravans of automobiles were hurrying into Alexandria from every dir~ction; special trains with their human cargoes were being hurtled on their sidings, and the bustle of Masonry's greatest day was on before your Grand Master and his companion returned to the old city to make final preparations for the busy day ahead. Regular l}nd special steam and electric trains, supplemented by innumerable automobiles, delivered the incoming throngs to the numerous improvised stations; but it was an orderly, self-respecting, rejoicing host, imbued with the very spirit of Masonry which radiated in happy smiles and pleasan t expressions, and a subdued and voicele'ss enthusiasm seemed to permeate the atmosphere and was contagio~s with the seething masses. The Memorial Association assembled in the Chapter Room of the Masonic Temple on Cameron Street, between Fairfax and Royal Streets, at 9 o'clock a. Ill.,. and was called to order by its President, CoL Louis A. Watres of Scranton, Pa. The register showed that every State was represented and- that in nearly every instance the Grand Master or an accred Hed representative was in attendance; that nearly all the Grand Chapters, R. A. M., the Grand Council, Royal and Select Masters and Grand Commanderies, K.

A. S. R. of both the Southern and Northern Jurisdictions were represented by their Supreme Commanders; that there were also present the Grand Master of Masons of Cuba, the Grand Master of Quebec, the Grand Master of Ontario, and proxies from Porto Rica, the p'hilippine Islands, Panama and Venezuela, the Imperial Potentate of the Shrine of North America, the Grand Monarch of the Supreme Council and the President of the National League of Masonic Clubs, together with a large number of the Past Grand Officers of the Grand Lodges and other organ izations; in fact, it was such an assembly of Masonic dignitaries as perhaps had never gathered 'under one roof before. The business of the Association completed, 'a recess wa1'l called, and the Grand Lodge of Virgi~ia was opened in Ample Form wjth all its officers and a number of Past Grand Mast,ers present. All arrangements having been made, the Grand Lodge was turned over to the Deputy Grand Master who, as previously announced, was to perform th~ actual ceremony of laying the corner stone. All being in readiness, our Grand Marshal, Brother William A. James, conducted the Grand Lodge with their distinguished guests to their allotted station on Royal Street between King and Cameron where they were arranged in marching order and from which point they joined the procession and took up their march toward the site of ~he Temple, where they arrived exactly at the time appointed. The first division of the parade was composed of a platoon of local police, the Chief Marshal of the procession, Brother Kenneth W. Ogden, and his staff, all mounted, and detachments from the naval and military forces of the United States.

The second' division was composed of' the Citizens Committee; the' Governor. BrotherK Lee Trinkle,' and hisstaffiLieutenantGovernor Junius E.West; the Hon. R. Walton Moore, Representative in: 'Congress' from the' EIghth Congressional District; the Mayor of Alexandria and the City 'Council. : The third, fourth and fifth divisions consisted' of the va'rious Masonic 'organizations; and the sixth division consisted Of the Grand Lodges and other Grand bodies, the Memorial Association, the thfee old Lodges, Fredericksburg, No. 4, Alexandria, No. 22,' and Potomac, No. 5', acting as escort of the Grand' Lodge of Virginia. These were arranged in the line of march as far as possible in the order of their seniority. ' O'ur march to the Temple, up King Street thr6'ugh 'the 'old' City was a continuous ovatio:nfrbm the throngs galher~d aiong'the way. :By the tfme the Grand Lodge Virginia had assumed its st~tion on th'e platform, the arrival of 'President do'olidge and Chie'f, Justictl Taft, with' Uieir escorts,' was aimoUl1ced' by the salvos of artiliery' stationed to the west of the Tem'plean'd 'the booming of the' great gUnS' On the cruiser Richmond, lying in the harbor at' Alexafldria. The President and his escort were soon seated, and our Grand Mar:" shal, WilHam A.' James, made a proclamation, and, without a singie liitch or a moment's delay, the ceremony of Uie laying or'the corner slone 'of the 'Memorial to Washingto'n was, performed amid scenes that are indescribable. ' Over a score ot military and civic bands we,re massed in, front' of the platform, marine guards were thrown, around the great:are~ of the Temple, ampliflerscarried the'voices of tbe Grand ,Officers and tpc speakers fo the vast crowd that had gathered around the Temple s'ite, a'nd a: powerful broad,casting system installed ,by ,the Chesapeal~e and Potomac T'elephone' Company bore the messages to all parts, of the countl"Y. One of the most impressive features of the, whole thing was the solemnity of the occasion-the awe-inspiring, stillne'ss, wb,ich fell upon' the, 50,()OO peopJe present a'nd continued, throughout the ent'ire ceremony. The music on the platform was~endered by a, IlJ.ale c,hoir of chanters from Richmond, and was very highly complimented. . ,

- A ,particular feature which should be referred to here was the order of spreading the mortar. Every Grand 'Master in the United States had been invited to actively participate by spreading some o.f the cement or mortar on the stone, and the trowel with which' President Washington laid the corner stone of the National -Capitol' had b,een reproduced so .that each participant should be supplied- with a replica to be used and retained as a souvenir for their Grand 路Lodge. When this stag-e ,of the ceremony arrived, the Acting Grand -Maste'L invited the Grand Master of Virginia, the President of the Memorial Association and the Grand' Senior and Grand Junior Wardens' to accompany him to the foundation stone. The Acting Grand Master and the Grand Master of Virginia and the President of the Association were each handed one of these replicas, and in the order named';first spread the mortar, retaining the souvenir; then came President CoolL idge and Chief' Justice Taft, then in alphabetical order the various Grand Masters or representativcs of Grand bodies, followed by the

Officers and Board of Directors of the Memorial Association. Next in line came Most Worshipful William B. McChesney and Most Worshipful Joseph W. Eggleston who had actively participated in the early stages of the movement, Brother Eggleston having, 'while serving as Grand Master, extended the invitation for the first meeting of the Grand Masters in Alexandria in 1910 and Brother McChesney having presided over the first two meetings of the organization. Then followed the Worshipful Masters of the three old Lodges who had acted as escort to the Grand Lodge of Virginia. Following the ceremony, your Grand Master delivered an address of welcome and introduced the President of the Memorial Association, Who, in a few very appropriate remarks introduced the Right Reverend Doctor James E. Freeman, Bishop of Washington, who delivered the address of the occasion. This conclUded the exercises at the Temple. The great throng was dispersed and slowly wended their way to their various stations or back to the places of rendezvous. The Memorial Association and the Grand Lodges returned to the Masonic Temple and were closed in due form. In the evening a banquet was held in the United States Government Torpedo Plant. One thousand plates had been set and nearly every space was occupied. Your Grand Master presided, and the principal speakers for the occasion were the President of the Memorial Association, Governor E. Lee Trinkle, Andrew L. Randell, Past Grand Master of Texas, and Melvin M. Johnson, Past Grand Master of Massachusetts. It was a thrilling and inspiring scene. The great hall, over 250 feet long, had been decorated with autumn leaves and American flags, and up-to-date amplifiers carried the voices of the speakers to the most distant guest and a perfect broadcasting system delivered the messages to listeners throughout the country. It was generally conceded that this occasion excelled anything of the nature ever held in Alexandria and perhaps in the Old Dominion. The speeches were acknowledged to be of the highest order of excellence, and the music which was rendered by an orchestra from the Marine Band and the chanters from Richmond was beyond criticism. The banquet was served by Past Master J. Edward Shinn with Miss Cora Cochran in charge of the ladies' department, the waitresses being the wives and daughters of the local Masons and dressed in colonial style. The whole function surpassed anything of this character it has ever been my privilege to witness. Thus closed a memorable scene in the history of Masonry in which it was a great privilege for your Grand Master to participate and a great honor to the Grand Lodge of Virginia to officiate. Such an incident will perhaps never occur again; certainly no more impressive scene or brilliant spectacle will ever be witnessed at any time in any age. Our Deputy Grand Master is carefully compiling a full account of the occasion, with proper illustrations. A copy of this, when completed, will be filed in the records of the Grand Lodge of Virginia and will, I am sure, constitute an interesting and instructive chapter in the chronicles of our venerable Grand Lodge. JAMES H. PRICE, Grand Master.

There are many other items of interest hi the Proceedings of the Grand Lodge which we should like to note, but which, reluctantly, we must forego, our space being. so heavily taxed this year. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE. This Report is, of course, from the pen of our good Brother, Dr. Eggleston, P. G. M., and is the equal Of any that have preceded it. In dealing with Missouri, he reviews Judge Lucas' administra路 tion with courtesy and approval. We note that he mentions the fact that in 1808 the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania granted a warrant for a Lodge in St. Louis, naming that great American, Meriwether Lewis, as Master. Dr. Eggleston says, "Unfortunately, the history of that Lodge is lost." We are glad to be able to say now. however, that, through the indefatigable research of our own Rt. Wor. Brother, Ray路V. Denslow, we have a wonderfully complete record of that long-lost lodge, and from it can "piece up" a splendid chapter in the history of our Craft in Missouri. His good words and quotations from our report of last year are appreciated, and we are greatly complimented by them.

northern Masonic Lodge in the world; and, as a consequence, the Brethren of Fairbanks were very grateful for our visit. We witnessed the conferring of the Third Degree, and it was conferred in a manner that equals that of any other Lodge in our Grand Jurisdiction, for Masonry means much to the Brethren of Alaska. The wearing of a pin on the lapel of the coat is n·ot the only evidence of Masonic membership and Masonic fellowship. Perhaps, by reason of climatic conditions, . hearts are warmer and friendships more lasting. Under "Temples Dedicated,"·You will note by my report that I dedicated the Masonic Temple at Fairbanks; also the Masonic Temple at Skagway. I was more than pleased to find imposing Masonic Temples in all the cities visited in Alaska, built especially as home for the Lodges, and also affording a center for civic duty and civic pride.

GRAND MA'STER HONORIDD IN HIS OWN LODGE.

He says: One of the bright spots in my ·Masonic career is the reception tendered me by my own Lodge, State, No. 68, on Wednesday, June 28th, there being many, Grand Lodge Officers present. To be honored by those who do not know you well is a pride; but to be honored by those who know you best is indeed beyond my limited' vocabulary to express. All I can say is that it was a most delightful affair, the memory of which will never die.

DISPENSATIONS, ETC.

Five Dispensations for the formation of new Lo·dges were granted, and a large number of DECISI,ONS

were rendered by the Grand Master, mostly, however, of local interest only. INTERESTING.

In reply to a question regarding the Narcotic Evil: Can a Lodge appoint one of its members to attend a convention held for the purpose of passing resolutions affecting the policy of our government on narcotic evil? Can such a delegate bi'nd: the Lodge in the name of Masonry? Answer: "No." In order to explain this more fully, I Wish to incorporate my letter, in full, as follows: My Dear Brother: Replying to yours of February 7th, I wish to state that I here-, with return the letter from Mr. B.F. Woof, of the P.-I., which was· received by your Lodge, and, in connection with same, would state, as follows: I hold that· it is not the function of a Lodge to endorse, by resolution, in the name of Masonry, any methods whatever affect·ing:

130

â&#x20AC;˘

the policy of our national, state or city government. Masonry is a great institution of learning, where the individual Brother receives light and knowledge to enable him to develop his moral and mental faculties, and thereby become a power for good in the community in which he lives. His joining our fraternity does not deprive him of individual opinion, nor relieve him of individual responsibility, through institutional activity, by action of the Lodge, in the name of the fraternity, in endorsing any movement whatever, whether political or otherwise. In the matter of narcotic evil, our Federal Government is in a better position than newspapers, OF men whose opinions may be formed by newspaper reports, as to the danger and extent of the vile business. With such facts and evidence as the government is capable of uncovering, the long and protecting arm of our Uncle Sam will soon reach out and pull in the law-breakers and those who would profit by this nefarious practice. Meanwhile, let us, as Masons, do our duty without show, public parade or blare of trumpets, which in themselves mean nothing, unless each individual acts and does his part towards God, his country and himself. I recommend you to place the communication on file.

MASONIC HOME.

This institution is doing splendid work, but is needing more room. A Committee has been at work looking for eligible locations, but is not at present able to recommend. Progress is, however, being made. MASONIC RESEARCH AND EDUCATION.

Regarding this the Grand Master says: I consider that this Grand Lodge is fortunate in the type or men who have been and who are still taking charge of this work. I prevailed upon Most Worshipful Brother Thomas E. Skaggs to take the position of chairman of this committee, a position formerly held by Right Worshipful Brother Morton Gregory, whose election to the position of Junior Grand Warden was the only reason for making a change. I am still of the opinion that the conferring of the degrees is the most important part of Masonry, for the future of each Lodge and of this institution not only depends on the quality of new material but also on perfect workmanship. It is here that the foundation is laid for the future Masonic edifice. If the conferring of the degrees is only a secondary consideration and done in a slip-shod, perfunctory manner, the candidate who receives his first instruction, in what is erroneously referred to as the Blue Lodge, does nbt furnish .fertile soU and' an active brain for Masonic research and education. There is little danger of one who gets the proper vision of the Entered Apprentice, Fellowcraft and Master Mason degrees drifting into mysticism or gaining the impression that in receiving these degrees he is in

possession of great secrets and that all that is necessary to let the world know of his valuable possession is to wear an emblem on the lapel of his coat. The Committee on Masonic Research and Education can accomplish a great work and render practical service to Masonry in unfolding the beauties of Masonry. its symbolism and its philosophy, so as to enable each one to build more stately the Masonic structure by making the world better in passing through and endeavoring to lift each human being just a little bit higher than where he found them.

THE DEMOCRACY OF FREIDMASONRY. Perhaps the greatest treat enjoyed by the Brethren at this Communication was the splendid oration of Rt. Rev. Brother Frederick W. Keator, Episcopal Bishop and Grand Orator. The Bishop selected as his theme, "The Democracy of Freemasonry," and the oration was of a very high order. It appears in full in the Proceedings, and only lack of space forbids our giving extracts. Bishop Keator is serving the Craft in Washington to great purpose. RECEPTION TO GRAND REPRESENTATIVES. The response to the Reception of the路 Grand Representatives by M. W. Brother Wm. A. Fairweather is altogether worthy, and we quote as follows: Most Worshipful Grand Master: I have listened. together with these other brethren, with feelings of pleasure and satisfaction, to your fraternal remarks in receiving the Grand Representatives of sister Grand Lodges near the Grand Lodge of Washington, and in behalf of all the Grand Representatives assembled here I thank you most heartily for the cordial welcome you have extended to us. The office of Grand Representative is. in all its relations, interesting and beneficial. A Grand Representative is not a critic of the proceedings of any Grand Lodge, but he is the advocate of all that the Grand Lodge he represents may do for the promotion of the interests of the Craft. Fifty-six years have passed since the Grand Lodge of New Brunswick, which I have the honor to represent her, was organized. It has ever been honorable in position and eminent in Masonic purposes. The Grand Lodge of Washington was organized 65 years ago. At that time its constituency consisted of about 150 Brethr.en; some of whom came West in wagons, some via the Isthmus of Panama, and others in sailing vessels via Cape Horn. During the following years I became well acquainted with many of these Brethren. They were men overflowing with health, energy and vitality. They loved to be alive, to hope, to measur-c themselves against odds, and to vanquish them, and so were worthy to become the founders of thiS Grand Lodge.

At that time a few thousand scattered over the Territory, here and there dotting th'e earth with rude structures, to mark the dawn of civilization; now, the magnificence and grandeur that meets the eyes on every side, on traversing the State. in eve,ry conceivable direction, with a speed and facility never dreamed of in pioneer times. But, amid all the changes which have taken pi'ace, Masonry has remanied and will ever remain the same institution of fra'ternal greetings, of mutual assistance, and of social concord. 'Born of two grand principles, the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man, it will continue to teach, until the end of earthly existence, that great commandment of the law. Love thou the Lo!:d thy God and love thy neighbor as thyself.

133 LAYING A CORNE:R. STONE.

The followiilgexcerpt is interesting as showing the difference between Jurisdictions. We'suppose that in the United States many such" cer.emoni.~s, are held" during a year. In West Australia, evidently, not so many. Note what the Grand Master says: I received 'a cordial invitation from the Cottesloe-Clairmont Lodge, No. 39, to conduct the ceremony ofla~'ing the foundation stone of their new Masonic Hall, Saladin-street, Swan bourne, on Monday 'last. I was supported by a goodly number of Grand Officers from Perth and other centers. On arrriving,we were met by a large dele'gation from the Lodge and escorted to the home of Wor. Bro: A.'B. Gloster,who kindly arranged accommodation for the convenience of Grand Lodge Officers. The brethren assembled desired me to lay the'foundation stone of a Masonic 'Hall which is being ereCtcdfor their convenience and comfort. The ceremony was accomplished under the superintendence of' the Grand Director of Ceremonies. The event was' quite unique, because there have been few of its kind since the inauguration of Grand Lodge. The building to be erected will serve as a perpetual monument to the enterprise, the perseverance,路 and the loyalty of the Lodge. May it be firmly established upon the foundation of Truth and the fundamental principles of the Craft, a belief in God, the uplifting of Honor, Virtue and ,Integrity, ; there to enjoy the rights and privileges of Freemasonry, to work with pride, joy and satisfaction. The selection of the material. for our edifice should be chosen from the best material available, ever remembering that the unimportant details of this day may become the mighty factors of tomorrow. Grand Lodge wishes continued and undiminished success and prosperity to the Lodge in its future meeting place. During the progress 'of the, ceremony' the WorshipfUl Master, in well chosen words, very kindly presented me with a handsome trowe,1~ suitably in,scribed' for: ,the occasion. N~edl~ss to say. I am very proud of this gift, and desire to convey my grateful appreciation to :every member of the Lodge. .

ELECTION OF GRAND MASTER. The following is interesting a,s showing th~ 'difference between elections in. Grand Jurisdictions which have directly sprung from the Mother Grand. Lodge .of~ngland, and our American J,urisdictions. In the. Grand Master's speech of acceptance one sees some路 thing of the mighty influence which he evidently wields in his Jurisdiction: :

R. W. Bro. McMullen' (taking the gavel): It is competent for anY'me'mbe'r of Grand' Lodge to nominate any other member as Grand Master. ,Does any other Brother desire to make another nomination? As there is but one nomination I declare M. W. Bro. Charles Owen Lever Riley duly eleCted Grand Master for the ensuing year.

[Oct.

M. W. Grand Master: Every year hitherto I have been asked whether I would accept the office, but I suppose they think they know me now. (Laughter). I have always given one answer every路 time I have been asked, and that was this, that I was at the disposal of Grand Lodge as long as Grand Lodge thought I was any goood; so I have always just tried to fall in with the wishes of Grand Lodge. Of course anybody must be proud in my position to be reelected ag-ain for the 18th time. The reason why I am extra proud Is because you know this Is not a part of the world I think where we want old people. It was once said by a Professor at Oxford that if you had not died before fifty you ought to be shot. It was very fine saying that when you were forty, but when reaching forty-nine it sounded different. (Laughter). You do feel as you get on in life, of course, that you have not the punch to do your work like you could when you were young, and this is the age for young people; and you. want young ideas and youthful ways and a strong heart in order to do the work Which is put before you in any) particular duty in life. However, the very fact that I have been amongst the Masons in this State so long has, I hope, and believe, kept me youthful, because I have had to meet all kinds and conditions of men, and look at life from all angles; and so I hope that I have not got narrow, that my vision is not limited, and that my friendship is not stunted. So I am delighted, if I may be permitted to say so again, delighted that after all these years you still have the confidence in me to do me the very great honor of re-electing me, for the eighteenth time, to be your Grand Master. If I were to talk to you for an hour I could not tell you really what I feel. because, as I have told you so often, oQe of the joys of my life is to have the friendship of my Brethren here.

MEMBERSHIP. When the Grand Lodge of Western Australia was established in 1900 the Lodges comprising it had a total approximate membership of 2,000, which has now been increased to 6,O'lO-showing a gain for the year of 493. The number of Initiates for the 12 months is 5\71, being the second largest number on record. Approximately 80 pet cent of the Lodges show an increase of membership, and naturally the younger Lodges show the greatest advance, but it is gratifying to know that the older Lodges are more than holding their own. The largest Lodge on the register is Swan, with a membership of 13:7, being followed by the Lodge of St. John with 13'2', and Geraldton with 114. The number of Initiations prove the Lodges to have been specially busy, especially the younger Lodges. In the Ceremonial Return, Bruce Rock heads the list with 48 degrees worked, followed by Quelkan with 47, Friendship with 45, Goomalling, 44, and West Guildford, 42.

From time to time the attention of Brethren has been directed to the Masonic education to be derived from perusal of the Annual Volume of Proceedings, and it is gratifying to learn that the whole issue of the Volume for 1920-21 was absorbed, and that of the issue for 1921-22, which has only been. on sale for about a month, not a single copy remains. ·There is he·re strong evidence of increas'ed and increasing interest in the proceedings of our Grand Lodge and those other Grand Lodges of the world with whom we hold Fraternal relations. The necessity for an increase in the number of volumes in future issues will receive attention by the Board of Gencral Purposes before our present printing contract terminates.

FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE. The Report on Correspondence is the work of several Brethren and is well done. M1issouri receives courteous notice in something more than three pages, the review being written \ by Brother J. P. Walton. Excerpts from the Grand Master's Address, and from the oration of Dr. Buriss Jenkins are given, and our amendment concerning the working of our Lodges in the English language seems to be of interest to our Western Australia Brethren. The reviewer is also very complimentary to the Grand Correspondent for which he has our thanks.

The fifty-ninth Annual Communication of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Anciept, Free and Accepted Masons of the State of West Virginia, was held in Scottish Rite Cathedral at the City of Wheeling, West, Va., commencing on Wednesday, the 14th day of November, A.

Fortunately, Masonry is not dependent upon ,the efforts of a sillgle individual, or corps of officers, however efficient. The principles of our Institution were cemented into its foundation by the Master Architect at the beginning of time; her three vast pillars are imbedded in the imperishable principles of justice and liberty for all mankind-broad-based on the everlasting foundations of service and beauty, and, likel the sturdy oak, her root~ become more firmly emplanted in the soil 'of civilization, as the storms of adverse criticism seek her, destruction. There can be no danger to Masonry from without; nor, can there be from within, if th'ose of us who are enlisted under her banner will but remember and practice the Tenets of ou'r Institution-B,rotherly Love, Relief and Truth-and adhere to the plain, simple rules of action as taught us' on our first entrance into Masonry, embodied in the Cardinal Virtues, and illustrated by Temperance, Fortitud~, Prudence and Justice.

VISITATIONS, ETC. The Grand Master makes record of a number of visitations, and tells of the impressive ceremony at Alexandria, Va., on November 1, 19213, in connection with the laying of the corner stone of the George Washington Memorial. The usual Dispensations, for sundry purposes,were granted, and sev~nty-five requests for conferring degrees were made on the Grand Master by outside Jurisdictions. DECISIONS.

While the data contained therein comes too late to be of much benefit to the Grand Master for the time being, still they can be made the basis for much constructive work by the incoming Grand Master. I have, therefore, not filed these reports with the Grand Secretary, but will deliver them to my successor for his information. It is noted that out of the total number of Lodges from which reports have been received, the dues of approximately thirty-five remain at three dollars, twenty-five at four dollars, while a few have dues as low as two and two and a half dollars. With the increased demands on the Lodges for the Home Fund, and ,Grand Lodge dues, it can readily be seen that with dues even .at four dollars, a Lodge

cannot maintain itself in a healthy financial condition. It is earnestly suggested that each Lodge. the dues of which are now fixed below the sum of five dollars per year, take steps at once to increase the same.

MASONIC HOME.

Concerning this the Grand Master observes: Two years ago, almost to the day, -in the City of Parkersburg, this Grand Lodge laid the cor'ner stone of our Masonic Home. At this Communication, the reports of the Boards of Trustees and Governors wHI show that this magnificent monument to the higher ideals of our Institution will soon be ready for occupancy. I cannot refrain from referring to the devotedness of the members of these two Boards. Often with much inconvenience to themselves, they have given of their time and labor to the end that those who may have need for it will have a home, in the true sense of the word.

RECOMMENDATIONS.

Under this head the Grand Master says: The making of a Mason is begun, but not completed, when he is made a member of a Lodge at the conclusion of the ceremonies of being raised to the sublime degree of Master Mason. It takes something more than merely taking upon ourselves the solemn obligations of Masonry to constitute a Mason. Masonry, as has been well. said, is a science of progressive moral development, whieh grows .from within, and it is only he who was wrought in the secret vault and diligently searched for the lost word, who can lay claim to the distinctive title of Master Mason. It is consequently the opinion of the present Grand Master, that a proper interval should elapse between the conferring of the Master Masons degree and the petitioning for other or further degrees in Masonry, thus giving the Brother the opportunity to apply our symbols and ceremonies, and to grasp the full significance of the drama of the Third Degree. It is, therefore, recommended that the proper committee present at this annual communication a plan, by resolution or otherwise, which will prohibit any Master Mason from petitioning for other or further degrees in Masonry, until a period of at least twelve months shall have elapsed after the conferring of the Master's Degree.

CONCLUSION.

The final paragraph of the Grand Master's address is altogether worthy: The reports received by the Grand Secretary show that we have made a net gain of 1,467, making our aggregate membership 31,018. This indicates a SUbstantial and normal growth. Let us ,remember, however, that our success cannot be measured by numbers; did we not gain a single new member we could still pride ourselves that we

had attained a full measure of success if we will have remembered that as Darius committed to Prince Zerubbabel the task of finishing the Holy House of the Lord, so has the Great Architect of the Universe committed to us the building of our moral Masonic edifice, and to that end has drawn on the great trestle board of life, certain designs and plans, which, if incorporated int~ our Temple, will earn for us the Heavenly plaudit of "well done, good and faithful servant, enter thou .into life Eternal." "The wisest man could ask no more of fate Than to be simple, modest, manly, true; Safe from the many-honored by the few; To count as naught in world or church or state; But inwardly in secret to be great."

FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE. We always turn to the Report on Correspondence in the Proceedings of the Grand Lodge of West路 Virginia with unalloyed pleasure, knowing it to be the work of P. G. M. George W. Atkinson. The present report is that worthy Brother's thirty-third, and equal in every respect to his best. Every Grand Lodge reviewed by this veteran receives that splendid courtesy which is characteristic of the man, and there is not a dull page in the whole report. Missouri receives careful attention, and Judge Lucas' administration is commended in gracious terms. We thank our good Brother also for his kind words anent the Correspondent, and appreciate his sentiments highly.

Body will be taken to' task for voicing the sentiments of affection that we all feel for these two "upright men and Masons."

GRAND MASTER'S ADDRES.s.

This' occupies some twelve pages' and is of a high order,' of which the following quotation from the openfng paragraph will give some idea: The wisdom of ages pa,st created the Order of Freemasonry. The wisdom and experiences of the many ages through which it has lived, have ,highly justified that 芦reation. Old things sometimes weary, grow out' of date, decay and vanish. Not so the Masonic society, for with good and sure foundation, with principles of the best, unscathed.. it has weathered the storms of centuries, crushed antagonism, and from year to year has risen toa higher, a nobler plane. Not only is "this true the world over, but it is most gratifying to realize that in our own jurisdiction we are keeping well" in the line of Mason ic progress and advancement. As year follows year we h.ave increased in numbers. Significantly, too, our institution is growing stronger in the hearts and the estimation of :the people ,of our State. . . We are upholders of the rights of person and property, of law and order; in short, of the great forces that make for the highest development of civilization. , While we rejoice that other organizations seek to ameliorate the conditions of our fellow-men, still we .cannot yield. the front rank to any in the cultivation of the arts and sciences and in the '\Velfare and advancement of mankind. The efforts of our Fraternity have been ab'undantly rewarded, and it 'is but right and fitting that in the most humble and reverential manner we should return tha~ks to Almight'yGod for his many mercies bestowed upon us.

. THE FRATERNAL DEAD.

The Grand Master-mentions the loss sustained in the passing of the late President Harding, and also tenderly refers to the worth and intrinsic' goodness of Past路 Grand Masters Cheney, Daley and Luck,field, and Brother Chas. W. Johnson, of whom rendered splendid service to the Grand Lodge of Wyoming and to the <;Jraft at large.

GEORGE WASHINGTON MEMORIAL.

The Grand Master says: Inasmuch as this Grand Jurisdiction has fully met the indicated requirements of the 'Association which has in charge the memorial to George Washington, the Mason, it is proper that we all keep ourselves informed as to the progress made in that matter.

VISITATIONS:

The Grand Master made a good number of visitations, but makes the following observation which we think pertinent: For several reasons the official visits of the Grand Master have not been numerous during his term-not nearly so numerous as it was his original plan and intention to make~ The demands of Judicial work are so varied and continuous that occasions for visitations have not been easy to find, and, when apparently found, have been disarranged again and again by the requirements of that service the public has a right to expect. Again, the volume of correspondence work devolving upon the Grand Master demanded hIs presence at his office in order that it might be dispatched as promptly as possible.

DEJCISIONS.

The Grand Master rendered seven Decisions, all of which were of local interest and were approved by the Grand Lodge. RECOMMENDATIONS.

Among these we find the following, which is illustrative of conditions in our larger geographical Jurisdictions of the West, where the population is as yet comparatively small: We all know that Wyoming is a state of magnificent distances. Occasionally a citizen of our Grand Jurisdiction, living near the boundary line of another Grand Jurisdiction, desires to petition for membership in the latter, and vice versa. To meet situations of this kind other Grand Lodges have enacted a statute reading as follows: "Whenever citizens of this state, who are desirous of petitioning for the degrees, shall reside nearer some subordinate Lodge in any adjoining Grand Jurisdiction, and shall wish to petition such Lodge for the degrees, they shall be allowed to do so without first obtaining permission of the Grand Master of this Jurisdiction; provided, that this regulation shall take effect and be in force only upon, and after, receipt of official information from such adjoining Grand Jurisdiction that similar permission is given residents thereof to apply for the degrees in neighboring Lodges located in this State," I understand that Nebraska, Iowa and South Dakota Grand Lodges have provisions of this kind in their Masonic law. It has been suggested that the quoted section should be changed so that

1924.]

143

approval of each specific p~tition by the Grand Mast~rs of the two Jurisdictions should be required; also that it should provide that no petition shall be received by a Lodge in the Jurisdiction other than the residence of the petitioner without notice to the Lodge in whose jurisdict!on the petitioner resides.

FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE. This report, from the pen of Brother Joseph M. Lowndes, covers a hundred pages of the' Proceedings, and is excellent in .every way. Missouri is kindly treated, Judge Lucas' administration being under review, and a liberal quotation from our "Introduction" to the Report on Correspondence included, for which we tender our thanks. Brother Lowndes concludes his report with the words of Winwood Reade, as follows: The Doctrines of Masonry are the most beautiful that it is possible to imagine. They breathe the simplicity of the earliest ages animated by the love of a martyred God. That word which the Puritans translated CHARITY, but which is really LOVE, is the keystone which supports the entire edifice of this mystic science. Love one another, teach one another, help one another. That is all our doctrine, all our science, all our law. We have no narr,ow-:-minded prejudices; we do not debar from our society this sect Or that sect; it is sufficient for us that a man worships God, no matter under what name or in what manner. Ah! rail against us bigoted and ignorant men, if you will. Those who listen to the truths which Masonry inculcates can readily forgive you. It is impossible to be a good Mason without being a good man.

If the terms of this agreement shall be faithfully, fraternally and successfully carried out, th'e Texas Grand Lodge Commission, joined by the Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Louisiana and the representative of the Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of California, in their respective Grand Jurisdictions, will undertake to secure the recognition of and fraternal co-opeartion with the new United Grand Lodge Valle de Mexico on the part of these and all other American Jurisdictions. P. G. M. Motta gave a synopsis of the conferences held with the Texas Grand Lodge Commission. After discussion the following motion was made by Brother . , McCulloch, seconded by Brother Cllristian:

Appendix.

147

"That the W. M. York Grand Lodge of Mexico assembled in Emergency Communication does hereby approve and sustain the action of the M. W. Grand Master and the Brothers accompanying him in the conferences held with the Texas Grand Lodge Commission." The motion, on being put to vote, was carried unanimously. After further discussion as to the action that should be taken by the Grand Lodge the following resolution was offered by Brothers H. J. Filsinger and H. E. Nyberg: "Whereas, the Texas Grand Lodge Commission has presented to the York Grand Lodge of Mexico and the Grand L0dge Valle de Mexico a certain proposition looking to the merger of the aforesaid Grand Lodge into one united Grand Lodge, "Be It Resolved by the M. W. York Grand Lodge of Mexico in Emergency Communication assembled: "That in replying to the suggestions offered by the Commission of the Grand Lodge of Texas, while we feel that these suggestions are offered in the true Masonic spirit, at the same time we believe that the Commission from the Grand Lodge of Texas are not well enough versed, nor can they appreciate conditions governing throughout Mexico, without a residence among us for, at least, a number of years. Therefore, while we cannot agree with the Commiss,ion from the Grand Lodge of Texas, we trust our reply will be received by them in the same Masonic spirit with which we have received their suggestions. "We have carefully studied the suggestions made to us, the idea of said suggestions being for the reunion of the York Grand Lodge ,and the Grand Lodge Valle de Mexico. As a matter of fact, the York Grand Lodge (as it is now known) was, prior to 1911. known under the name of Grand Lodge Valle de Mexico. As is well known, in 1910, at the Annual Communication, certain rebellious Craftsmen, not satisfied with certain legislation, disrespectfully left the Grand Lodge, and these few, after some months, set up another Grand Lodge and usurped the name Grand Lodge Valle de Mexico. As this small minority were all from the Mexican Lodges, and had a way of their own for carrying on the work, the loyal members of the nowknown-as York Grand Lodge. decided in 1911 to change the name to the present name of York Grand Lodge for the benefit of the Craft. This was done, and the Grand Lodge continued to receive the support of Foreign Jurisdictions the same as before. Therefore, there has been no split in the Grand Lodge ranks. Certain rebellion, however, has taken' place and the same has been disposed of on the basis of established Masonic Law and usage, and further the action of the York Grand Lodge has been recognized in accordance with Masonic . Law and usage by Jurisdictions recognized throughout the Masonic world as authorities on Jurisprudence and Ancient Landmarks. such as New York, Missouri and others. "Th'e suggestions given in the 'brief' are herein referred to by the numbers assigned them: "2. The York Grand Lodge is not prepared to give up its name or consider any change at this time. ' "3. Should this be done, it would mean that the Masonic posilion of the individual member of the Yorlt Grand Lodge would be that of 'a man without a country.'

. "4. As far as the York Grand Lodge is concerned this meeting is in session to decide whether or not such a condition will be considered. '.~-:i: "5. The suggestion states tha't the acts of the two Grand Lodges sinc'e 1910 shall be legal, and shall be approved. This cannot be accepted by the York Grand Lodge until the records - of the Grand Lodge Valle de Mexico have been studied. According to our best inâ&#x20AC;˘ formation, no proceedings have been issued, by the - Grand .Lodge Valle de Mexico since their formation in 1910. It is furthersuggested in the recommendations that the present and Past Grand Masters of the two Grand Lodges shall retain their rank and' titles. This suggestion, in so far as it goes, 'might be in order, but the individual of the Craft of the York Grand Lodge is and must necessarily be first. considered, as all real Masonic organizations consider first their Craft, and appoint through their Craft their officers to give counsel and advice, the Craft remaining the governing body, As within the Craft and also among the official representatives composing the Grand Lodge Valle de Mexico (according to the best information obtainable, therein being, as previously stated, no published proceedings) exists a membership which the York Grand Lodge cannot accept under any consideration, due to facts notoriously known to the York Grand Lodge and other well informed individual Masons, and which element no English speaking Lodge in the Masonic world would consider accepting as their Brethren. These suggestions also infer that the question of the Constitution, its legal adoption and promulgation, as also the forming of the united Grand Lodge, shall be a matter of fact from this date.' This" of coutse, cannot be done, except in such manner as would leave too many basic and general principles in a most questionable and chaotic position. This statement is made with all due respect td the proposers of the recommendation. "Nos. 6, 7, 8 and 9 need no consideration at present. "10. This suggestion recommends a position which is contradictory to the basic principles of the suggestions as a whole, in' so much as it is suggested that outside of the Federal District a condition be created which these suggestions' stipulate must be wiped out within the Federal District, and that the united Grand Lodge confine its jurisdiction to the Federal District and unoccupied Masonic territory throughout the Republic, and further, this suggestion makes reference to treaties with Grand Lodges now recognized by'the Grand Lodge Valle de Mexico which cannot, at pTesent, be considered by the York Grand Lodge. "11. It is intimated in this suggestion that the Lodges under the York Grand Lodge of Mexico be liberally dealt with. The basic principles not only of the York Grand Lodge, but of aU real Masonic Grand Lodges, is for liberality toward their' 'subordinate Lodges. However, insubordination, rebellion or similar. acts are punished with only such liberality as the individual case demands; therefore, the intimation that the individual Lodges of the York Grand. Lodge are rebellious or insubordinate to the laws, rules and regulations of the York Grand Lodge is, with due respect to the proposers of these recommendations, resented. "12. Basic Masonic law specifically' so states,- and it would there~

for'e be presumptuous '(ni.' the part of an organization' claiming to be Masonic to include such an article, or even to make reference to such an artlcie, in 'a 'Constitution 'for their government. 'Thissuggestio'n, however, intimates that such a condition does exist here, evidently in the Grand Lodge Valle de Mexico, as it is a well known faet that no ,~uch,condition obtains in the individual Lodges of the York, Grand Lodge. "13. As regards the serving of the general interests of true Freemasons of aU races and' languages in the Republic of Mexico, this'has been covered under'No. 5. However, as regards the offer So 'kindly made by the Commission of the Grand Lodge of Texas for the presence and assistance of one or more competent American' Masons to co-operate, as far' as possible and desirable, in the working out of the details of these l'luggestions, it, is desired at this time to officially extend to 'the Commission from the Grand Lodge of Texas the hearty thanks of the York Grand Lodge of Mexico, and should we feel the presence and assistance of one or more competent American Masons to be desirable, we will, in due time, take advantage of their kind offer an'd officially advise them. "Nos. 14 and 15 need no consideration at present. "No. 16. No such action can be taken until the decision of thi's Grand Lodge meeting is known. "17. No direct action canbetaken,on this question by the York Grand Lodge, as aU' 'questions of this nature are handled, with re.spect to details" by the subordinate Lodges. "It is desired at this time to again officially reiterate the. thanks of the York Grand Lodge of Mexico to the Commission from the 'Grand Lodge of Texas and the M. W. Grand Master and through him to the Grand Lodge of Texas' and its subordinate Lodges, and, at the same time, extend sincere thanks to the M. W. Grand Master' of the Grand' Lodge of Louisiana, and through hint td that Grand Body, and 'through that Grand' Body to its subordinate Lodges; also to the Representative of the Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of California, and through the Grand Master to that Grand Body, and through that Grand Body to 'its SUbordinate Lodges for their untiring efforts, kind counsel, and the time and trouble taken in their endeavor to secure betterment of relations amoqg tr'ue Masons throughoutth'e Masonic world, including American, European and other Jurisdictions. "In conclusion' we regret that, at the 'present time,' we are not able to comply with the requests of the Commission from the Grand Lodge of Texas,yet we confidently look forward to the day when the situation of Freemasonry ,in l\;1exico, will be better understood, real, true and genuine work will be done by all, thus assuring the prog'ress 'of the', Frater'nity.'" ' ' The foregoing resolUtion on' being put to vote was carrled unanim,ously. It was moved by Brother G. C. Glascock anq. seconded by Brother J. F. COdie that a' committee of five be appointed by the ,M. W;, Grand Master to call' on the representative of the' Texas Grand Lodge' Commission, ,M. W~ Andrew L.

Grand Master stated that he had invited Brother Randell to address the Grand Lodge, but that Brother Randell stated that in view of the fact that he could not get in personal touch with the greater part of the membership of the Grand Lodge by such an address, he thought it would be better not to accept the invitation. There being no further business to come before the Grand Lodge the same was closed in Ample Form at 9 p. m.

THE SIXTY-SECOND ANNUAL COMMUNICATION. This was held in the City of Mexico on Thursday, April 13, 1922, and was a memorable session. The Proceedings set forth the position of the York Grand Lodge in regards to the proposed merger wth the Grand Lodge Valle de Mexico, and speak of the inestimable services rex:tdered to the cause of York Rite Masonry by our own M. W. Brother Wm. F. Kuhn, and states that his help to them will long be appreciated. In this connection our own Dr. C. H. Briggs is warmly commended for his sympathetic assistance at the same time.

FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE. This Report is a splendid one, and worthy in every respect. We regret to know that our Proceedings did p.ot reach the Reviewer in time to be used !.or his report. YOR.K GRAND LODGE OF

Members. 917. Gain. 58.

The Proceedings of the York Grand Lodge for 1923 are contained in a small pamphlet of 80' pages, and though .brief, are very interesting. Tbey speak of better days, and the hopes for the future are much brighter. The Grand Lodge bas suffered heavily through the death of its late Grand Secretary, R. W. Brother Cassius C. Shanks, who has been a tower of strength to Masonry in Mexico for a long time. We greatly' admire the spirit of our Brethren of the York Grand Lodge, and have no doubt of the ultimate outcome of the unfortunate trouble which has so hindered Masonic progress in Mexico in the immediate past. Our Missouri, and especially St. Louis, Brethren will rejoice in the fact that, this year, our Brother Marcus A. Loevy, who was raised in Occidental Lodge, No. 163, is now the Most Worshipful Grand Master of the York Grand Lodge, and we tender our .congratulations to him, wishing him great success in his administration. Needless to say, also, M. W. Brother Loevy is the Grand Representative of the Grand Lodge of Missouri, near the York Grand Lodge of Mexico.

Freemasonry has received such a phenomenal increase in members during the last decade it goes without saying that an associatiQn of this character is of inestimable value in properly dealing with matters of charity and re.lief, and in order that our Brethren in Missouri may have the fullest facilities of using the equipment of the Associatiol;l, we have appended a full list of ,the Boards which are at work thr:oughout' the United States and Canada, and also the Employment Bureaus, believing that this will prove of service to man,Y of our ;Brethren throughout the State who may be at some loss to ~now how to avail themselves of the services of t~is Institution. . .

HISTORICAL The路 first Masonic Lodge established in what is now the State of Missouri, was on a "Warrant of Constitution" granted by the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania for "Louisiana Lodge No. 1(}9 to be held in the town of St. Genevieve, Territory of Louisiana," in 180708. Otho Strader was its first Master and Dr. ~ron Elliot and,. Joseph Hertic, Wardens.. Later, the Grand Lodge of Tennessee granted cha路rters to the following Lodges in "Missouri Territory:" Missouri Lodge No. 12,' in St. Louis, October 8, 1816; Elkton Lodge No. 24, at or near Elkton, October 3, 1819; Joachim Lodge No. 2'5; at Herculaneum, October 5, 1819, and St. Charles Lodge No. 28, at St. Charles, October 5, 1819. On the 22nd day of February, 1821, representatives from Missouri Lodge No. 12, Joachim Lodge No; 25 and St. Charles Lodge No. 28" assembled in the Hall of Missouri Lodge and resolved to organize a Grand Lodge for the State of Missouri. A committee, consisting of Brothers William Bates, Nathaniel Simonds and Edward Bates, was appointed "to draft a Constitution and Code of . By-Laws for the government of the Grand Lodge." The. original draft, as submitted by the committee is still preserved and is now on file in the office of the Grand Secretary. On April 21st following, the Grand Lodge was organized, and on the 24th, the newly formed body elected officers. The laws adopted at that time, with but slight changes, remained as the governing code for over thirty years. By an act of the Legislature of the State of Missouri, approved February 17, 1843, 'the Grand Lodge of Missouri was incorporated under the name of "The Grand Lodge of the State of Missouri, of Free and Accepted Ancient Masons." This corporate name has never been changed. ARTHUR M: HOUGH, WILLIAMF.JOHNSON, ALGERNON S. HOUSTON. November 26, 1908.

ORDER OF THE EASTERN STAR.

Their good work is fully appreciated by the Board and have the thanks of the management for their assistance and cooperation.

M. W. BRO. C. C. BIGGER. Died January 26, 19'2,4. His funeral was held January 219, 1'924. Brother Bigger was for a number of years a Director of the Masonic Home, whose heart was thoroughly in the good work, never faltering where he could be of benefit to mankind. We greatly miss Brother Bigger's wise counsel and energetic efforts in behalf of the Home.

J. B. WRIGHT. Brother J. B. Wright Of Trenton, Missouri, at the full Board me~ing, held July 10th, was elected a member of the Masonic Home Board to fill the place left vacant by the d'eath of Brother Bigger.

SECRETARY. Brother V. O. Saunders, who has been Secretary of the Home for a number of years,路 at the annual meeting held last October in Kansas City, declined re-election, although he continued to act until a Secretary was selected, and at the meeting of the full Board, January 10th, when the new Secretary was elected, the following resolution was adopted: _ The Board of Directors of the Masonic Home of Missouri desires to place on perpetual record this tribute of respect and affection to one, who having been for the last thirty-five consecutive years intimately associated with this great Masonic charity, has recently severed his connection with it. Virginius Otey Saunders, son of Dr. Samuel H. and Sarah Ann (Otey) Saunders was born in Cooper County, Missouri, May 18, 1847. In 1858 and again in 1859 his father had the rare distinction and honor of being successively elected Grand Master. While quite a young man he moved to the City of St. Louis. In 1869', he was made a Freemason in Missouri Lodge No.1. He served as its . Master in 1,878'. He has always held and holds today his membership in old Missouri No.1. In 1888 W. Bro. Saunders was elected a member of this Board. He continued to serve as such until the Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge in 1914, a period of twenty-six years. At that Communication he was appointed by the Grand Master, Chairman of the Committee on the Masonic Home. Shortly thereafter' he was elected Secretary of the Board and continued to hold that position until' October, m2'3, when he declined to be an applicant for, the place. He consented, however, to hold over until a succes'sor could be elected and inducted into office.

[Oct.

Our Brother has always taken a great interest in the Home and its management. One of the very first things to be decided when he 'became a member of the Board was where the Home should be located. It was decided by unanimous vote that the location should be "at or near St. Louis." But there was a sharp division of opinion as to its exact location. The present site was finally chosen, and it was owing largely to Bro. Saunders that the selection w'as made, and as the years roll by the wisdom of the choice becomes more and more apparent. In the formation period of the Home he was very active. A practical business man, clearheaded, with well-defined ideas, and the faculty of expressing them with force and effectiveness, he at once became a power in the Board and his views and advice were much sought after. As his service grew in years, his infiuence was the greater. No matter if one differed with him on a. matter of policy, one could not but be struck with his absolute honosty and sincerity. His thoughts and his acts were never of self, but always for what he thought was for the best interests of the Home. Much: of its growth, its success and its prosperity were owing to qim. As Secretary, his long experience as a Director was always at the call of the Board. He leaves us, as Cincinnatus of old, to go back to the farm, to spend the last days of a long life as he did the first, near to nature and to nature's God. Our love and our best wishes go with him. DAVID M. WILSON, DORSEY A. JAMISON, ARCH A. JOHNSON.

CLARENCE L. ALEXANDER. Brother Alexander was elected Secretary to date from February 1st, at which time the records were turned over to him and he assumed the duties as Secretary of the Masonic Home Board.

JOHN ROLPH PARSON. FATHER OF THE HOME.

At the meeting of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of the Masonic Home, the Committee, appointed at the full Board meeting to prepare a proper Memorial and Resolutions on the death of John Rolph Parson, reported the following Memorial: MEMORIAL.

John Rolph Parson was born in the City of Buffalo, New York, February 214, 1839, and died in the City of St. Louis on April 8th,

1924, at the age of 85 years. His funeral was had on the l(}th day of April, and his remains were buried in Bellefontaine Cemetery. The services at his funeral were conducted by ,the Grand Lodge of Missouri, with the Grand Master, M. W. Bro. Jos. S. McIntyre, in charge. Aurora Lodge, of which M. W. Bro. Parson was a member, attended the funeral as a body, and St. Aldemar Commandery, No. 18 K. T. acted as escort. A large assemblage of his Brethren attended the funeral, including ten or twelve Past Grand Masters. He was educated in the public and high schools in Buffalo, N. Y. Before reaching maturity he removed to Chicago, where he resided for a short time, and in 18'59 came to St. Louis, where he resided during the balance of his life. He became identified with a regalia establishment which his father had established and to which he, with his elder brother, succeeded. They conducted the business until December 14, 18'95, when the firm dissolved partnership. Later he conducted a regalia business at 709 Market street in St. Louis and continued in that business until about 1904, when he was appointed Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge of Missouri by M. W. Bro. Leroy B. Valliant, Grand Master. He served in that position until 1921, when he resigned and was succeeded by M. W. Bro. Frank R Jesse. Bro. Parson was appointed Grand Secretary emeritus on his resignation as Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge. His wife, Emmeline Parson, died August 7, 1916, and his daughter, Evelyn Parson, survived him, with whom he had made his home since the death of his wife. MASONIC. M. W. Bro. Parson commenced' his Masonic career in Aurora Lodge, No. 2,67, where he was made a Master Mason on May 2, 18,69, and 'was elected as Worshipful. Master of said Lodge in 1878.

In the succeeding years following his becoming a Master Mason of Aurora Lodge, he became a member of Bellefontaine Chapter, Royal Arch Masons and served as High Priest thereof; became a member of Hiram Council, No.1, 'Royal and Select Masons, and served as Illustrious Master thereof; became a member of St. Aldemar Comyumdery, No. 18', K. T. and served as Commander thereof; became a member of the Scottish Rite Masonic Bodies, receiving his degrees from Albert G. Mackay in 1874, and served as Master of Kadosh. At the session of the Supreme Council, A. A. S. R, in Washington 'on Octdber 212, 189路0, he received the 33rd Degree Honorary.

[Oct.

. He was a charter member of Bellefontaine Chapter No. 69, O. E. S. At ,the session of the Grand Lodge of the State of Missouri, in 1892, he was elected Grand Master thereof and served one term in that position. In fact, during his Masonic career he became a member of all the subordinate bodies of Freemasonry in the Sotate of Missouri, as well as the 'Shrine and the Eastern Star, and he served the Craft faithfully in all of the subordinate bodies, and as showing his popularity among his Brethren, he was familiarly known and addressed as "John R." While he served the Craft faithfully as Grand Secretary of tlie Grand Lodge of Missouri and filled the other Masonic positions which he held in the various organizations路 with great efficiency, yet 路the most conspicuous work which he did in Masonry was that which he did in connection with the Masonic Home of Missouri. ., Bro. Parson was a member of the Board of Directors of the Masonic Home from' its organization, and for many years was its secretary. At the annual communication of the Grand Lodge in 1885-, the matter of the establishment of a Masonic Home in the State of Missouri was brought before the -Grand Lodge, and a committee was appointed to consider and report at the next session thereof upon the feasibility of establishing such a Home in this State. A charter for the Masonic Home of Missouri was procured from the State of Missouri, on the 12th day of July, 188'6. It is recorded in the Grand Lodge Proceedings that Bro. Parson secured the donation of the first dollar that was ever contributed to the building of this great institution. The Grand Encampment of. the Knights Templar of the United States was held in St. Louis in the month of August, 188'6'. Bro. Parson, with other enthusiastic Masons of St. Louis, conceived of a plan to have a "charity day" at the old Fair Grounds in St. Louis during the session of this Grand Encampment. Acommittee was appointed for that purpose with Bro. Parson as Chairman thereo-f. Bro. Parson, Bro. Sol E. Waggoner and Bro. Elijah Cash advanced the money out of their own private funds .to finance this "charity day" in order to raise a' fund in behalf of the Masonic Home of Missouri. They organized all of the visiting bands into one grand band which, as constituted, was composed of over 2,O-(}O instruments. Tliis band furnished the music for this "charity day" at the old Fair Grounds, to which admission was charged.

and there was realized therefrom the net sum of $35,114.()(), which became the nucleus for the establishment of the Masonic Home of ~~OO~

â&#x20AC;˘

This sum was' afterwards passed 'by the Board of Directors to the Endowment Fund, and has ever since then been held sacred as a part of the Endowment Fund, and has been known as the "Knights Templar Endowment Fund." But for the raising of this "Knights Templar Endowment Fund"by Bro. John R. Parson and his associates, it is problematical whether the Home would have ever, reached its present gigantic proportions. By reason of his great work in connection with the Masonic' Home, the Board' of Directors thereof, on September 16, 1918, unanimously adopted a resolution declaring that the'said M. W. Bro. John R. Parson was entitled to the encomium of "The Father of the Home," 'and the Grand Lodge, at its session in 1918 ratified: and approved of the said action of the Board of Directors of, the Masonic Home of Missouri. (See Proceedings 1918, Pages 95-9'8.) Bro. Parson was a kind and indulg~nt husband and a loving and devoted father. He was a man of practical ideas, firm and decisive in character, never failing to express' his views in a matter' of fact manner, yet he was always considerate of the views and feelings of others, exhibiting a kindly feeling towards his Brethren. He was a man who was strictly honest and upright in all of his deal~~ ings with his fellowmen. Since his becoming a Freemason he has indefatigably devoted his life to the true Masonic spirit, and given his energy to his work for Freemasonry to such an extent that it may be truthfully said that his character and works have ,been indelibly stamped upon Freemasonry in ,the State of Missouri. Therefore, Be It Resolved, by the Board' of Directors of the Masonic Home of Missouri, as follows: (~) That in the death of M. W. Bro. John R. Parson, the Masonic Home of ,Missouri lost one of its truest, staunchest 'and most devoted friends and benefactors. (2) That this Board of Directors extends to his beloved daugh~ ter their heartfelt sympathy in the loss of her father and their. c~ laborer in the creation and building up of this Home.. (3) That a page in, our minutes be set aside to his memory. (4) That a copy of this preamble and these resolutions be engrossed and presented to his daughter as an evidence of our

JEWISH HOSPITAL. They have commenced the construction and are building their new hospital, which they expect will be completed for occupancy by September, 1925, at which time we can obtain the building we purchased. This will be a great relief to the Home and enable us to overcome the present crowded condition. They have paid in the past year $7,205O(}O' interest on the payments the Home has made on the purchase price.

IMPROVEMENTS. In the past year the concrete tunnels for all water, heating and electric conduits have been completed, connecting the heating plant with the Old People's and Administration Building, replacing all old and worn out water and heating pipes. This will save in the future much expense in excavating for leaking pipes. When the pipes were originally laid these permanent improvements could not be made for want of sufficient funds.

IN CONCLUSION. As we come in daily contact with the members of our home family, both young and old, our Masonic Home where the old are shielded from. the hardships of life, and where our young are not only. receiving the comforts and benefits of a home, but are being prepared for useful lives in as full a measure as careful training and education can accomplish, our pride in Freemasonry deepens and our devotion to the fraternity that makes this great work possible grows more and more as the years pass, and may the blessings of. Q{)d be upon the fraternity is our every hope and wish. Fraternally submitted, SOL. E. WAGGONER, President.

EXECUTIVE COMMIITEE.

Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 22, 19'24. Sol. E. Waggoner, President, Masonic Home Board, St. Louis, Mo. Dear Brother Waggoner: For the Masonic year just closing, as Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Home Board, the following is submitted as our report: The past year has been one, if possible, of greater activity and more exacting on the best thought of the Committee and management than any preceding year. _ New and hitherto unthought of problems are constantly arising, involving subjects of grave importance to not only the home and its families, but also to the members of the fraternity, Eastern Star, and citizens of the entire State. During the year we have been called upon to determine questions affecting the present policy of the' institution, as well as many reaching, far into the future. In an of these matters, it is believed we have been united in an effort to accomplish the greatest good and promote the work of providing for the comfort of both the old and the young members of our beloved Home. . To judiciously and economically expend the funds, so generously provided by the Grand Lodge and Order of the Eastern Star ot this State, and many individual members of these bodies, has been the constant and never-ceasing aim of the Committee, during the time it has acted for the entire Board. To go into details in regard to the various questions submitted t6 the Committee, and give its decision and dispositon thereof, would be to some extent a duplication of your report. We, therefore, do not consider it advisable to repeat any portion of your report to the Grand Lodge. The same kindly attention is given the older members of the home family now as during the past years. All of them, who still hope for the sunshine of tomorrow, are smiling and apparently happy. Yet a few, and we are thankful that they are only a few, seem to take a pessimistic view of the future, and do not appear to fully appreciate their pleasant environment. This does not appear to be a condition at which we should be much surprised. For, after our loved ones have all departed; health failed and misfortune overtaken us, and we are all alone in what appears to

be a cold and. unfriendly world, the human mind is liable to center on the happy days of the past, and conclude that they can never return. At the other end of the grounds, where the children romp and play during the hours when not engaged' with their studies or other little tasks, and where they are s.afely and comfortably housed, a little different condition exists. Life is worth living to all of these. No dark cloud of disappointment hovers over their paths. While they are not all perfect, and some of them .occasionally are the cause of much concern and anxiety on the part of those responsible for their training, and do not always measure up to expectations, still some of the brightest young minds in this State are to be found among them. In this connection we will say that it is very gratifying to us, and should be pleasing to the membership of the fraternity, to know that it is not very uncommon for one or more of our boys or girls to win the highest honors in the St. Louis High, or other schools. This is sufficient compensation for all the time and money spent in the interests of unfortunate little ones. Give the average boy or girl the right kind of a chance, and the future good citizen is assured. Notwithstanding the fact that we said we were not going into details, we cannot refrain from stating that the thanks of all who are interested in this noble work, are due to the Past Matrons and Patrons clubs, of the Eastern Star, for their thoughtfulness and generosity, in providing the money with which to equip thechildren's playgrounds, and install a modern r~frigerating plant. Again, the thanks of the entire fraternity are due to the Advisory Members of the Board. These noble women have been constant and untiring in their labor for the Home and its family. In these tiIpes of some uncertainty and unrest, if there is one institution on earth which is not affected by the storms, of dissatisfaction, this Home of ours is that one. The future never looked brighter, from every viewpoint, than it does at the present. The Brethren are to be congratulated on the happy condition resulting from their loyalty to the Home and devotion to the cause of humanity. Fraternally yours, R. R. KREEGER, Chairman.

ADMINISTRATION COMMIITEE REPORT. S oz. E. Waggoner, President, Masonic Home Board, Dear Sir and Brother: Each of the members of your committee on administration is firmly of the belief that the affairs of the Home are being conducted in a manner highly satisfactory to all concerned. The matrons, both of the old people and of the children, seem peculiarly fitted for the places they occupy, and the Home is to be congratulated that their efforts have proved so successful. The only thing to ~e regretted is the .gom~what crowded condition existing in the Home, and yet applications are received by the Board in everincreasing numbers. Sometime in the coming year we hope to get possession of the Jewish Hospital, and looking forward to that time, a committee has been appointed to formulate plans for remodeling the building with a view of putting it in the very best possible shape, to be another important factor in our already large plant. It gives us pleasure to state ~hat the concrete tunnels leading from the power house to the various buildings have all been completed during the past year. In these tunnels are placed all of our pipes and conduits for heating and electric service. It is a much needed improvement for, at much less expense than heretofore, repairs can be more easily made. We are looking forward with bright anticipations to the coming year. Fraternally submitted, JOHN T. SHORT, Chairman, D. M. WILSON,

R. R. KREEGER.

REPORT OF HOUSE COMMITTEE. St. Louis, Mo., Sept. 1, 1924. Sot. E. Waggoner, Esq., President, Masonic Home of Missouri, St. Louis, Missouri. Dear Sir and Brother: In submitting this report on behalf of the House Committee for the year ending September'l, 192<4, have to say that there is no occasion for a lengthy report. I will, therefore, be brief and to the point. During the year covered by this report we have had no special meetings, but only the usual monthly ,meeting, at which the routine matters appertaining to the running of the Home have been con-' sidered and acted upon. The work of the House Committee has been much lightened by the efficiency of the路 administrative department of the Home, consisting of Bro. Sol. E. Waggoner, President and Acting Superintendent, Sister Wilmoth Waller, Matron of the children, and Sister Luella McCue, Matron路 of the Old People. So far as it has come to our observation, peace and harmony has prevailed in the Home during the last year. The Christmas Committee, composed of representatives from the different Masonic Bodies in the City of St. Louis, has continued to function in its usual way in adding to the comfort, pleasure and amusement of the members of the Home, both old and young. The 19'231 Matrons and Patrons Club of St. Louis generously furnished and set up, at an expense of about $Z,300.00', on the grounds of the Home, a most complete playgrounds and athletic , equipment, for the amusement and entertainment of the children, which has afforded the children much pleasure, as well as having improved their physical condition. This equipment was one which the Home had been long in need of, and in behalf of the Board of Directors, we extend the thanks of the Home to the Matrons and Patrons Club of 1923! for this beneficial gift. The Home has received many other useful and practical gifts from the various Masonic and Eastern Star Bodies, and individuals throughout the State, and in behalf of the Home we extend to each and all of them our hearty thanks. Respectfully submitted, DORSEY A. JAMISON, Chairman, House Committee.

HOSPITAL REPORT. August 14, 1924. Mr. Sol. E. Waggoner, President, Masonic H O1ne of Missouri. Dear Sir and Brother: I herewith submit the following tabular report of the cases treated in the Masonic Home during the past year ending September 1, 19'24. Although most of the cases under our observation are chronic diseases due to the infirmity of age, we have had a number of acute and quite serious surgical operations, all having convalesced very satisfactorily, due to the skill of the surgeons who operated and most excellent after care of the nurses under the supervision of our head nurse, Miss Hazard, who at all times sees to the patients receiving the proper care. Along with our surgical cases we have had some very serious medical cases. These have also recovered very nicely, due to the assistance of Dr. Louis H. Behrens, who always responds very promptly when called upon for counsel. We have had very few contagious diseases this year. The children who are being treated for dental irregularities are all progressing nicely and will be most grateful for the care given them by the Masonic Home. We have one crippled child whom we will have properly treated, hoping that his disability will be sufficiently improved so that he will be able to be self-supporting in after life. Next to Miss Hazard, the smooth running of the hospital is associated with the presence and assistance of Mrs. McCue, matron for the old people. I wish to especially thank Dr. Louis H. Behrens, consulting physician; Dr. Paul Y. Tupper and Dr. Frank L. Morse, consulting surgeons; Dr. W. W. Graves, Dr. M. A. Bliss, mental and nervous diseases; Dr. W. B. Shields, ear, nose and throat; Dr. Thos. A. Hopkins, urologist; and Dr. E. P. North, consulting oculist, who have so promptly and cheerfully responded when called upon for assistance for which I am most grateful.

REPORT OF ATIORNEYS. St. Louis, Mo., Sept. 1, 19214.

Sol. E. Waggoner, Esq., President, Masonic Home of Missouri, St. Louis, Missouri. Dear Sir and Brother: As attorneys for the Home, we submit the following as our report for the year ending Septembe~ 1, 1924. In our reports of 1921-22'-2:3 we reported to you the progress of the suit brought to set aside the last will and testament of M. W. Bro. Jacob Lampert. Since our report of last year, we have collected and paid over to the Home the sum of $25,00'0.0'0, which was the full amount bequeathed to the Home in the last will and testament of our beloved M. W. Bro. Jacob Lampert. There are a few cases still pending, in which the Home is interested, but very remotely so. For this reason, it is not necessary to report in detail in reference thereto. During the last year we have advised the Board of Directors and the officers of the Home from time to time in regard to legal matters, and drafted such necessary legal documents as were requested of us. 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 of Missouri. It is as follows, to-wit: "Know all men by these presents that I, .. ............ of sound and disposing mind, do make, publish and declare this as and for my last will and testament, hereby revoking any and all wills and testaments by me heretofore made. First: It is my will and desire, and l hereby direct that all my just debts, including the expense of my last illness and funeral be paid in full. Second: I give and bequeath unto the Masonic Home of Missouri, a corporation organized and existing under and in pursuance of the laws of the State of Missouri, the sum of . ............................................Dollars. (Testator may also insert such other provisions in his will as he sees fit.)

LEITER TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FROM THE MATRON OF THE CHILDREN. It is with a great deal of pleasure that I give to you in part an account of my past year's work in our Home. My work has been a joy to me and I hope my efforts have been a benefit to those whom I am trying to serve. The children are good, ob~dient, loving children and a better group cannot be found. Five of our girls graduated from Rubicam Business School and are holding good positions. We .have fifteen pupils attending Soldan High School. The principals. and. teachers of the schools are very kind to us and praise our children for their good work and behavior. Each year seems to bring more and more entertainments to our family. The Lodges and Chapters, the De Molays and Job's daughters, the Shrine and Grotto, the Temple Club and individuals, and last, but not least, the Christmas Committee have all worked hard to make the past year the most enjoyable one the Home Family has ever known. One of the happy occasions of the year was the official visit of the Grand Officers of the O. E. S. The donations from over the State have been far above the average. The playground apparatus installed by the 1923 Matrons and Patrons Club of St. Louis and the beautiful player-piano placed in the Children's Dining Room by Victoria Chapter, Jefferson City and the Chapters of the 31st District are two gifts which will bring health and happiness to the children from year to year. The O. E. S., through the Advisory Board, have looked after our furnishings throughout the Home and remembered each member at 路Christmas time with a substantial gift. Our children are a healthy family and much of this is due to the timely treatment given them by Dr. Rice and his assistant, Miss Hazard, who are ever willing and ready to give their careful attention to the slightest ailment. To the President, the Board of Directors and the House Committee, I wish to express my appreciation for their loyal support and assure them I shall always have the interest of the Home and the welfare of our children uppermost in my life. Fraternally, WILMOTH WALLER, Matron.

LETTER TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FROM THE MATRON OF THE OLD PEOPLE. Another year has passed. Our happy family of old people now numbers 20'2 people, ninety-seven being housed in the infirmary, due to lack of room in the old peoples' building. Some of our old people have passed on and we have received quite a few new ones. A great many of our old people have had or are now having vacations. 'The general health of our family has been very good under the skillful care of Dr. Rice and the careful nursing of Miss Hazard. Our family of old people have been wonderfully路 entertained; nothing路has been overlooked in making life pleasant for our people; for which we want to thank the ChrU;tmas Committee for their cash donations, river excursions, water melon party and ever readiness to help at" all times. We also wish to thank the Shriners, Eastern Stars, Job's Daughters, De Molay Boys, Past Matrons and Patrons, Pilgrim Lodge, Tower Grove' Lodge and many others for the donations and entertainments provided us. I, personally, wish to thank the' President and Board of Directors for the summer vacation they have given me. It has been a pleasure to work for the good of the Home and the comfort of the old people. Fraternally, LUELLA McCUE, Matron.

REPORT OF ADVISORY COMMITIEE. August 25, 192'4.

Sol. E. H1aggoner, President, Masonic Home Board, St. Louis, Missouri. Dear Brother: An Annual Report from the O. E. S. Advisory Board, is but a brief summary of the kindly interest and generous impulse of the members of the Order of the Eastern Star who' elected us to represent them in this work, and cannot begin to express the extent of their desire to do worth-while things for the Masonic Home and the dear ones who live therein. The many inquiries of "what can we do to help" demonstrates a universal wish to be of service in this great work. In response to the Christmas and St. John's Day letters sent out by the Worthy Grand Matron, the contributions have' aggregated a gratifying amount as usual, and made it possible for the Advisory Board to meet all requirements in the way of furnishings; to make appropriate and acceptable 路Christmas gifts' to old and young, and to put on interest a neat little sum that may be used if the Grand Chapter desires, in furnishing the building which has been bought by the Masons as an addition .to the Home. Blankets, quilts and other bedding, linens, rugs, linoleum, rubber runners for the halls, porch curtains and draperies have been purchased according to the needs of the Home. The girls and boys were supplied with rain coats, sweaters and caps, and each of the old folks was given two dollars with which to do as they pleased. Donations other than cash have been numerous and varied, ranging from quilt pieces to playground equipment; coming from Chapters, O. E. S. Clubs and individual members, and always with the love of the donor. It is through the courtesy of the Home Management that the Advisory Board is able to have a record of these gifts, for they are received, credited and acknowledged by them, and a report sent each month to .the O. E. S. Board-a favor which is greatly appreciated. ;:.~""".: The many treats, such as refreshments, concerts, trolley and auto rides, excursions, picnics and other enjoyable events which

come" to the Home family, are expressions of interest and love on the part of the Masons and Eastern Star members. The plan adopted by the Advisory Board this year-that of spending the entire day at the Home on Quarterly Board Meeting Day, and then the next day in buying and conducting their business, affords a broader opportunity of becoming better acquainted with the Home family; to study their needs; to路 know the wishes of the Masonic Home Board and those under whose care and discipline our children, old and young, are placed, and to more understandingly "appreciate their good works. To the latter we are truly grateful for every kindness, courtesy, and helpful suggestion tha"t they have given, and it is our sincere hope that they may be blessed with health, and strength to continue the fulfillment of their great responsibilities. We love our work, and seek advice, wisdom, or counsel that can in any way make us of more value or assistance in this field of labor. It is our earnest wish to have each year's record better than the last. Fraternally submitted, ELLA JEAN FLANDERS, President, EDITH V. BADER, Secretary, JOSEPHINE S. FISHER, Treasurer,
