REPORT ON FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE GRAND LODGE OF MISSOURI, 1926 By REV. ARTHUR MATHER,

ST. LOUIS, Mo.

GRAND CHAPLAIN

GREETINGS From the Grand Correspondent Emeritus 7'0 My Brethren of Every Degree and Station: I have been a Freemason for nearly three score years. I am now in my eighty-ninth year, and looking back over the past, my observation and experience impress me more and more with the fact that Freemasonry is the most complete system of moral philosophy known to man-needing only one addition to make it divinely perfect-that of accepting the Galilean-the Man of the Garden and of the Cross, as the Son of God, our Redeemer and Friend! Peace be with you! C. C. WOODS. July 30, 1926.

'I'he above card of "greetings" from our vel:erable Dr. Woods will be appreciated by hosts of his Brethren, who hold him in the highest esteem. For more than two generations he has held a unique place in our Brotherhood; and the popularity which he attained nearly fifty years ago, when he "ruled and governed the Craft" in Missouri, has never diminished nor lost its luster. The good Doctor has ever been, as Sir Thomas Malory says, "The truest lover of sinful man * * * '" the kindest man * * * * the meekest and gentlest." A man "sans peur et sans raproche." Dr. Woods has witnessed our membership as it has multiplied five times, since the year in which he was our Grand Master; and all along the line, he has been in the forefront of every beneficial movement that has marked our progress. With him there has ever been a yearning for "more light"; and his Brethren rejoico that now, at eventide, "there is light!" A. M.

REPORT ON CORRESPONDENCE. To the Most Worshipful Grand Master} and Grand Lodge, A. F. & A. M. of Missouri:

The Annual Report on Correspondence, herewith respectfully presented, contains reviews of seventy-one Grand Jurisdictions, out of the eighty-eight with which the Grand Lodge of Missouri is in amity. With the exception of Connecticut, Florida, Maine, Virginia and the Philippine Islands, whose volumes of Proceedings di-d not reach us before going to press, all the American Grand Lodges are included in this report. We regret that no tidings are available this year from the York Grand Lodge of Mexico, or from the Grand Lodges of Porto Rico, San Salvador, Chile, Denmark, France - (Nationale), Italy, Norway, Saxony, Sweden, Eclectic Union, and Zur Eintracht. perhaps another year we shall be more fortunate in receiving responses to our inquiries from the Brethren of these Grand: Bodieg The limits of our space are such \is to preclude many items: of interest which would otherwise appear, but we have striven to give as briefly as possible the main features which marked the Communications of the Grand Lodges under review. Our thanks are due to many of our good Brethren, both in thi~ and other Jurisdictions, who have responded to our requests for information which has been of great value in the compilation of this report.

ALABAMA. 1925. 1926. Duncan C. Carmichael, G. M. Oliver Day Street, G. M. George A. Beauchamp, G. S. Re-elected. Fred Wall, Chairman, Committee on Correspon~ence. Lodges, 582. Members, 53,990. Gain, 1,621. ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTH ANNUAL COMMUNICATION.

Held at Montgomery, Alabama, pecember 1-3, 1925. 440 Lodges represented, in addition to the Grand Officers, etc. Extracts from the Grand Master's Address. In opening, the Grand Master says: "Our field of endeavor is just as extensive or just as narrow and limited as we care to make it. If we wish to limit its scope so as to conform to the narrow views and small ambitions for human service, then Masonry's field of endeavor becomes small indeed. If, on the other hand, we choose to broaden the avenues of our minds and lay aside some of our pet preconceptions, thus rendering ourselves more receptive to the better human ,impulses, we can greatly extend' the province of our endeavors. "We ought never to forget that the mere fact that we are Masons may be taken by the rest of the world to mean that we are at least endeavoring to be good men and good citizens; and we should al': ways remember that we wear the badge of. Masonry of our own free will and accord. We cannot urge as an excuse for our shortcomings that any of us were unduly influenced. "Everywhere there is a tendency, to lay stress upon the fact that more is expected of a man because he is a. Mason, and we ought to promote and encourage this tendency by living up to these expectations. A petition for the degrees of Masonry ought to be the equivalent of an announcement to all the world that the applicant expects to endeavor to live a proper life, assume his full duty of citizenShip, and be fair and square In all his dealings with mankind."

•

"In America we have no government Imposed by Divine right, and we make our government in our own image. Even the Constitution which so many are seeking so strenuously to exalt, to the position of Divine right is but the wise work of wise men. Our country, with all that it represents of hope in the world, is now and will continue to be just what we make it. "Its institutions of religious liberty, of constitutional rights, int.egrity of the law, while the most precious possessions of the human race, do not emanate from government, but have their abiding place with the people. They arise out of the consecration of the father; the· love and sacrifice of ·the mother, and the devotion of the childhood of the land. They are the products of an honest,. earnest, tireless effort that goes into the rearing of the family

altars and the building of the sacred homes of our great country. Our duty is plain."

The Grand Master recommends that the Committee on Jurisprudence define the meaning of "on the square", and to what uses the phrase may be applied. Speaking of this, he says: "It is my judgment that the clause in the Master's obligation relative to keeping the secrets of a Brother, commonly termed 'on the square,' was meant as a shield and not as a dagger to stick another in the back. Its purpose is to afford a Brother in distress about his own, or his family's affairs, an opportunity to get the aid and advice of a Brother in whom he places confidence about the proper handl-ing of those 'affairs, with an assurance that the information will go no further, and that because of the communication of these secrets the communicating Brother will not be embarrassed in the future."

The Jurisprudence Committee made the following report, and the same was adopted by the Grand' Lodge: "Article 6, Section 18, (Page 231, Manual 1.924), provides that any member of a subordinate Lodge who shall be informed, or who shall know of his own knowledge, that a Brother has been guilty of conduct unbecoming a Mason, and who shall fail to report the same to the Lodge at its next regular communication is hereby declared to be guilty of a shameful neglect of duty, and sh'all forthwith by such Lodge be suspended at its pleasure. "Our obligation as Master Masons to obey the Constitution, resolutions and edicts of the Grand Lodge is just as binding on us as any other part of our obligation. The various sections of the Master Mason obligation must be construed together and when so construed it seems plain to your committee that no Brother has the right to use the obligation of the Master Mason degree to impose on another Brother secrets, which would require the Brother J'eceiving the information to violate the plain directions of the sec. tion of the Constitution above set out. "It is the opinion of your committee that the obligation referred to was intended as a guarantee to every Master Mason that the things pertaining to himself and family on which he desired to obtain the advice, or assistance, of a. Brother Master Mason, would not, when so received be divulged to his later shame or embarrasslnent."

Use of the Word "Masonic". The Grand Lodge has the following htw: 'Unless approved by resolution o,f the Grand Lodge, the use of the word Masonic in connection with any organization, business, publication, advel'tising device or other scheme, constitutes a Masonic offense, punishable as may be determined by Masonic law and usage."

, An amendment to the Constitution, which is of interest, was adopted after having been regularly submitted to the Lodges and

approved by more than four-fifths of their number. follows:

11 It reads as

"No applicant for initiation whose petition may have been rejected by any Lodge shall be initiated in any other Lodge without the consent of a majority of the Lodge to which the applicant first petitioned be obtained for that purpose; provided that after the expiration of three years from the time of such rejection of such other Lodge to which applications for initiation may be made may proceed to act upon such application without the consent herein provided for, if the applicant is not then residing within the jurisdiction of the Lodge or Lodges which rejected him. If any Mason ],nowingly assists, or recommends for initiation, any applicant to any Lodge whatever in violation of the provisions of this section, h(' shall be expelled from all the privileges of the Fraternity."

Correspondence Report.

OUf good Brother, Fred Wall, Grand Correspondent, has been on the sick list for something like a third of the year, and he has thus worked under a heavy handicap. Missouri is included in his review, and liberal quotation is made from M. W. Brother McIntyre's Address. His comments are altogether kind, and his opinion of our Grand Master is shared by us all in Missouri.

These were Grand Honors. Grand Lodge of to the welcome

welcomed by the Grand Master, and received the R. W. Brother S. M. Snedden, representing the Ohio near the Grand Lodge of Alberta, responded in the following terms:

"On behalf of those representatives of foreign Jurisdictions present, I wish to express appreciation of your words of kindly welcome. "Representing, as we do, Masonic Jurisdictions spread over a very considerable part of the world, recalls to our minds the universality of the Order and at the same time our very presence here, in our present capacity, indicates the unity of the organization and its aims. We regret the fact that in this century of enlightenment it should be possible, and is a fact that some of the Brethren in foreign :Jurisdictions are today being suppressed by those in control of civil government from, it is claimed, motives of political expediency. We sympathize with these Brethren who are denied those blessings of freedom of speech and action and spirit of toleration which 'is a fundamental teaching of our Order. "We are pleased, on the other hand, to observe the splendid harmony prevailing in this Grand Jurisdiction, and note with pleasure the numerical increase in lodge memberships, as well as the increase in new Lodges."

Grand Master's Address.

In this document of ten pages one finds the salient 'facts at' the year's administration set forth in clear terms and with becoming modesty. From it we note that the year has been one of "peace and harmony." Ten new Lodges have been started, and the Grand Master is optimistic as to their future. District Meetings.

Concerning these the Grand Master says: "Sufficient time has now passed in which to prove the wisdom and foresight of those Brethren who first suggested the holding of district meetings and this Grand Lodge can surely be commended, particularly by .its Grand Master, for enacting a law Which now makes it necessary to hold a district meeting. I do not think there is a. Brother in the Jurisdiction who would not oppose a reversion to our former method. The place of meeting being decided upon by the 路Lodges of the district it remains for the Grand Master to select the date. As I received one or two requests to change the date of meeting after our complete itinerary had been arranged and the Lodges notified, it was impossible to make any change at this time without rearranging the entire programme. In each case the Brethren affected were most considerate and did not fail to m~ke

Foreign Correspondence.

This report is composite, it being compiled under the direction of Brother F. S. Selwood. Its reviews are interesting, that of Missouri being the work of Brother H. C. Taylor. Large quotations are given from Grand Master McIntyre's a-ddress, more than three-fourths of the entire review being given over to these. The review is altogether complimentary to us, and we regret that Alberta's last copy of proceedings did not reach our table in time for inclusion in our report. Foreig'n Recognition.

"(2) If you desire to try an Entered Apprentice, of course, formal charges must be pre'ferred, although an Entered Allprentice can not demand such a trial. However, if charges are preferred against him, the trial is held exactly the same as if he were a Master Mason, and under the procedure set out in our Constitution. "(3) With regard to refunding fees, if he should be tried and expelled, it would seem to me that the Lodge would he doing the proper thing to return him the fce of $25.00 for each degree not conferred. The $10.00 contribution to the Home Fund is not returnable, except where the petitioner is rejected in "the first instance, nor is the Entered Apprentice fee in this instance to be returned."

Eastern Star.

The Grand Master, upon being asked for a ruling on just what constitutes a Mason in good standing, in order that the members of his family may join the Eastern Star, replied that he could not rule on matters that had nothing to do with Masonry; . in this case in point, because "The Star is not a Masonic body." Masonic Service Association.

Referring to this the Grand Master says: "Personally, I am disappointed with the results obtained by us from our connection with this Association. The tangible net results seem to be negligible. My letters to officers of the Association 'have not even received the courtesy of an answer. Nowhere in this Jurisdiction have I found any stimulus in Masonry as a result of such membership. Most of our Lodges seem to have little or no idea as to the aims and purposes of the Association, nor have I found any evidence to indicate that the Brethren are getting any good out of it whatever. In this connection it seems to me that if we develop our study club idea, we can furnish the Craft something really worth while at much less expense."

Membership in the Masonic Service Association, ho.wever, was continued, $284.40 being appropriated for membership, and $200.00 for the use of the Committee on Masonic Service and Education. Masonic Home at Oracle.

The Masonic Home grounds consisting of 60 acres, was opened and equipped for the reception of tubercular Masons, widows and orphans, and it was reported that several ex-service men had been cared for. Members of the Sojourner's Club were gratified to have the Oracle property opened to them during the summer months. $6,000.00 was appropriated for the construction of three cottages, water and sewer systems.

Most Worshipful Storm O.

He referred to the march of progress, national and Masonic, and pointed with confidence to the better day that is surely corning. .He is a worthy advocate of the true greatness of his native Commonwealth, and mentions also the names of some of the great men and Masons who have written themselves large into the affections and esteem of their Brethren. Among these are, of course, Albert Pike, Chas. E. Rosenbaum, Fay Hempstead and John Q. Wolf. George Thornburg is described as "probably the most loved Mason in Arkansas". The Grand Master makes a recommendation concerning the

Agreement of the Grand Lodge of Arkansas with the Baptist State Hospital of Little Rock which is timely and wise. ,-..

The out~tanding visit of the Grand Master during the year was made December 15th to Booneville, Ark., to attend the ceremony of turning over to the State Board of Trustees the Sanatorium which is Arkansas Masonry's gift to tubercular children. He says of this: "This building will be an everlasting monument to the Masonry of Arkansas and especially to Brother Judge Joser>h M. Hill and the members of Belle Point Lodge No. 20 of Fort Smith, who originated and sponsored the undertaking."

In closing his Address the Grarid Master makes an eloquent appeal for Masons to unite their efforts in securing at least a finished High School education for every boy and girl in the State, and makes some wise observations concerning the De Molay Movement; .and then he says: "In closing, I have tried to express the two viewpoints of Masonry-in the young men the too common view of being a button and badge Mason-the high Mason type, in the Father the ideal type, who has a real view of our purposes and principles." MASONRY DWELLS WITHIN. I have learned my lectures, word for word, I know the degrees from the First to the Third. Am I the Mason you would have me to be? "Not yet, my Son, not yet," quoth he. I have taken the Chapter, I have my mark, The signs and the passwords I know by heart, I know that now you must be proud of me. "Yes, proud, but not satisfied," quoth he. Look at my Fez and splendid Shrine pin, My 32nd Degree ring with the diamond set in, I have got it all, you must agree with me. "Not all, my Son, not all," said he. But, Father, why speak; you surely know 1 have each Degree, from high to low, 짜y emblems, charms and patents you see. "There is more than these, my Son," said he. "1 am proud of your earnest efforts, my Son, Pleased you love Masonry and the work you have done, But the beauties of Masonry dwell within, And rarely agree with the size of the pin.

In this excellent o.ocument, abounding in items of great interest occurs the following which we excerpt: "One of the pleasures of a Grand Master is that of visiting the Constituent Lodges of his Jurisdiction, and my journeying of over 8,000 miles has been most happy in this connection. I found wherever I visited a wonderful Masonic spirit, and the Brethren hungering for more light in Freemasonry, which makes me feel that the words of Kipling that 'East is East and West is West, and neyer the twain shall meet', do not apply to the great family of Freemasons who are one in thought as they are in purpose and ambition. The meetings were largely attended. Where possible, joint meetings were arranged to great advantage. Old acquaintances were thus renewed, new friends were made, and views in regard to our ancient institution were broadened and enlarged. "Freemasonry teaches the Fatherhood of God and the路 Brotherhood of Man; it insists upon respect for constituted authority and

obedience to the law. Freemasonry unites men of ev.ery country, creed, sect and opinion in high and common aim. Therefore, it is our duty as Freemasons who have been taught the true meaning of friendship, of brotherly love and of charity to uphold the law and in our daily lives, in our transactions with our fellow. men, to so act and to so live that the world may point to us as loyal and model citizens. No man is perfect, but as Freemasons, if we adhere to the teachings of the Volume of the Sacred Law given to us by the Great Architect of the Universe, we shall be all the happier as individuals ourselves, while at the same time the Craft to which we belong will continue to enjoy increasingly high honor and respect. At this time a great responsibility rests upon us; there is a great and insidious disregard for law throughout the land, a state of things demanding our most serious thought. The exemplification in the lives and actions of the Brethren of the precepts and the principles of Freemasonry will do much for the re-establishing of conditions leading to a proper respect for law and regard for upright living."

Report on Correspondence.

From Brother DeWolf-Smith's introduction we note the following paragraphs which are worthy of careful thought: "It is scarcely necessary to remind our readers that in the past few years new societies, or associations or orders based upon or claiming connection with Masonry have been established in the republic to the south of us with a prodigality rivaling France in the eighteenth century. "It is gratifying to note that many Grand Masters, as well as wri ters of these Reports, apparen tl y realize that it is time to call a halt, and more or less practicable suggestions are offered to remedy this state of things. Just how effective these remedies may be remains to be seen, but we fear that none of them strikes at the root of the evil. "The efforts by certain Bodies derived from the Anci,ent and Accepted Rite to secure' recognition by regular and legitimate Masonry still continue, and we regret to report that many Grand Lodges are yielding to the pressu-re-some in a follow-my-leader game, and others more or less honestly in pursuit of the will-o'-thewisp known as 'Universal Masonry.'''

Missouri is reviewed wi路th kindly comment upon Brother Bert S. Lee's administration. Brother Smith mentions the observation of our Dr. Woods, concerning the use of three rituals in British Columbia, and says that: "In Alberta and Saskatchewan there is a choice of two rituals, as there is, also, in Manitoba. Ontario, h~s, we believe, two Lodges doing the Irish work. We understand that Louisiana, also, has more than one form of .ritual, and in England there are eight, if not more,. rituals in use. In the case of England, however, the Gran-d Lodge does not 'recognize' any particular ritual."

Preceding the Roll Call.

The Grand Master said: "Before proceeding with the roll call, my Brethren, and while you are all here with us, I am going to take advantage of this opportunity to extend to you a most cordial, a most hearty good morning, an affectionate greeting and a sincere welcome to this Grand Lodge. I am turning the ta.bles in a measure and am extending the right hand of fellowship to you good men who have greeted me and so hospitably welcomed me all over this great State. No man knows better than I do the mingled feelings, the feelings of awe and wonder and strangeness that beset you this morning. More than fifty per cent of you are strangers and have never sat in Grand Lodge before. But this is your Grand' Lodge, as much yours as it is that of the oldest battle-scarred veteran in the line. And you are g'oing to get out of this Grand Lodge just what you put into it. You men who have come here for the first time from Eureka and EI Centro; from San Diego and Alturas; from Big Pine and Big Bear, from Honolulu and Hilo and Kahului, have come here on serious business; you are the sole representatives of your Lodges and you are expected to absol'b something worth while and take that something back to your Lodges. You will be strange to, and perhaps mystified by, our procedure. There was a time when I thought that the elder statesmen in the amen corner directed the legislation and controlled the destinies of Grand Lodges, and I haven't changed my opinion. But you must understand that in a representative body of more than 1,200, it is absolutely necessary that legislation be considered and debated largely in committee. Let me assure you that you,each of you, are as welcome here as the flowers of Springtime, that you will be !'ecognized at any time on the floor of Grand Lodge when you have anything regular and proper to present; that you will be welcomed in committee meetings and are free to address the committees. You handed to me the Golden Keys of your cities and your temples as I visited your homes and your Lodges. There is no Golden Key

hel'e, else I would gladly lay it at your feet. For this Grand Lodge is yours. I am talking to you in this homely fashion because I want you to feel at home; you are part of the great big Masonic family. Whatever you desire, whatever you do not see, ask for it. If the committees do not give you audience, tell me. If they do not give you what you w~nt, tell them. But after all, I most earnestly urge -that you' religiously attend our sessions, that you participate in our proceedings; that you get in step with our program. And on next. Friday when our officers are installed and Grand Lodge has closed and the pay.-car comes your way, I trust that each of you will pack your grip and leave for home with a smile on your lips and a song in your heart and with the conviction in your mind that attendance on the Grand Lodge Communication of 1925 was really worth while. God bless you all."

From the Grand Master's Address.

In his address the Grand Master points out that Freemasonry is judged by what the Lodges accomplish "in the moral, social, intellectual betterment of the members," and what it does for the betterment of the community and humanity at large. He says: "The succel;S of Masonry in this commonwealth age in this world, does not depend upon the numbers we initiate, but it does depend upon whether the lessons we communicate to these members, the precepts we publish to the world, are making for better citizens and better citizenship in the communities in which they live."

Again he says: "If we can but raise one brother who is worthy and well quali-

fied, a .credit to the fraternity, and an honor to the Craft, we have accomplished more for humanity than rubber stamping a hundred and making them Masons in name only."

Outside Bodies, Etc.

Of these the Grand Master speaks as follows: "This Grand Lodge is big enough, is powerful enough, is influential enough to direct that a man's standing in Masonry is del)endent upon his loyalty to the institution, is dependent upon his obedience to its laws and regulations. Whatever else he may be in Masonry or in any so-called side degree of Masonry, he is a Mason first and above all else, and unless he conforms to every law 'and regulation his membershi"p in Mason-ry is jeopardized. This Grand Lodge should and must take steps to prevent the establishment of other side degrees an~ to provide regulating supervision for all such side degrees as may be established. It should and must make known without any doubt of the certainty of its pronr.llncement that the honor, the dignity, the prestige of Masonry, aye, even its Ancient Landmarks, are under its guardianship and protection, and that these things may not be defiled and trailed in the oust by men, who as members of organizations dependent on

:'I'lasonry, will do the things that they would not dare to do as l',.'[asons or in a Masonic Lodge. "It is quite evident that the Brethren who do these things are answerable as Masons for their conduct, but it is evident, too, that C1ese Brethren have not the conception, the vision, of their relations to their Lodge and to this Grand Lodge. They do not understand that this Grand Lodge still retains the power and authority to enCoree obedience among its members, of the Landmarks of Masonry. Action should be taken to definitely settle this question here and now."

Masonic Homes.

The number of children at the Covina Home has increased to such an extent as to require additional buildings. The equipment of the Home at Decoto also has had to be improved. The Grand Commandery of Knights Templar of California has given $50,000.00 which is to be devoted to the erection of a hospital in connection with the Home for Children.

On September 1, 1925, there were 78 boys, 85 girls, 107 men, and 98 women in the two Homes. .The endowment fund now totSLls $478,00'0.00. The Home at Decato represents an outlay of $1,203,090.00. Correspondence Report. This is the work of a Committee of which Brother James L. Matthews is the chairman. The report follows the "old style", and is well-written, and full of interesting items. From the introduction we quote the following: "Something more nearly approaching uniformity in rituals; closer scrutiny by investigating' committees of those asking admission to the order; a demand that there be inquiry as to the conduct of Masons at conventions and semi-public affairs held by organizations whose membership is predicated upon Masonry; wholehearted support and approval of the Order of DeMolay; a healthy increase throughout the nation of Masonic membership; a decided tendency toward tOleration as it relates to the membership of Masons in other organizations, coupled with unmistakable warnings that strife must not be engendered through religious creeds and racial dislikes-these are some of the outstanding thoughts found in the messages of Grand Masters whose reports in part are to be found here."

Missouri receives kindly consideration, our Past Grand Master McIntyre coming in for high commendation.

Grand Master's Address.

Among other interesting matters dealt with in the Grand Master's Address, he finds it incumbent upon him to refer to the organization known as the Ku Klux Klan, and he has this to say: "I wish to state in the most emphatic terms that the Ku Klux Klan has no connection direct or indirect, in letter or spirit or otherwise. howsoever with the Masonic Order in the Province of Ontario, and I venture to suggest that members of the oldest and most honorable fraternity in the world will do we'll to consider seriously before associating themselves with an organization which, in a country where the franchise is universal and freedom of speech is allowed to all, finds it necessary to conceal the identity of its membership behind a hood or a mask."

The Grand Master preaches the gospel of goodwill and friendly helpfUlness, saying that by such Freemasonry has gained the confi'Clence of mankind. He deplores certain conditions which have obtained in various parts of the juriSdiction, and exhorts his Brethren to rededicate themselves to the original ideals. He calls attention to the difficulty which confronted him in regard to the granting of a dispensation for the formation of a new Lodge and sets forth fully in his address the circumstances with which he was beset. "It seemed to me clear," he says, "that a Masonic Lodge, if organized there, would really serve as an adjunct to the Klan." He says, "that in soliciting for members the Klan relies largely upon the argument that it is "similar and allied to Masonry." He says that one of the organizers had the effrontery to call it "Masonry in action." In at least one Masonic Lodge in Colorado the slate, of officers to be elected at the

"The state can furnish many hundreds of instances in which, since the Klan began to operate, men have been boycotted or deprived of employment because they were Catholics' or Jews, or simply because they were not Klansmen, and discord has been introduced into many communities which had previously been peaceful and harmonious." /

Not all these instances of persecution, however, are directly chargeable to the klan, he adds, but they were exceedingly rare before the klan began to function. The Grand Lodge responded to the Grand Master's sug-gestions by adopting the following resolution: "This Grand Lodge cautions Masons in this Jurisdiction against any organization which tends to disrupt the harmony of the Craft." ?ast Grand Master Chase Withrow.

Our venerable Brother Withrow, whose presence at our Centennial Communication is well remembered, told an interesting story which we reproduce in his own words: "In 1863,

about the middle of the Civil ''Val', Denver Lodge They, in their wisdom, felt that the position of the Confederacy was right, and it was very evident at that time that politics would finally disrupt that Lodge. The feeling', was very intense. There were among the Brethren such men as Henry M. Teller and John M. Chivington and Allyn Weston, and these men, whom the Masonic Fraternity respected, were all on o~c side of the question. . On the other side was the Master of Denver Lodge ~ro. 5, and the majority of that Lodge was with him, too. The question came up, not publicly in the Lodge, as that would raise trouble, but among the Brethren as to, what was pest to do-, It could not ,'un On as it was, as the Lodge could not do anything. So it was concluded to ask the Grand Lodge for a charter for a new Lodge, ,0 be named Union Lodge. In that IJodge was 'John Evans, aftel'wards Governor; S. H. Elbert, Colonel Chivington, and I have for,;otten the names of many others whom I knew, and who were t.here at that time. I was Grand Lecturer at the time. The charter was ordered granted outright and the Lodge constituted within a very few days; it was very shortly after, the next day, I think, J organized the Lodge myself, or was present. It had its Fiftieth . Anniversary in 1913. Now there was no trouble, everybody voted ror it, men on both sides of the political question路; they acted without any kind of feeling; there was no feeling of bitterness in it, and no apparent prejudice. All of this shows that those men were men who understood how to deal with the question, and who knew that the Lodge could not stand as it was. The majority, as I recall them, were sympathetic with each other as they could be, bu t they recognized the fact that the Lodge could not stand as it was, so No, 5 was chartered.

they were perfectly ready to divide the Lodge in that way. Both Lodges prospered, and both of them are vast Lodges today, due to the work of the men acting under those conditions. Those were men who were ready to give other people the right to do as they saw fit, just as well as they claimed that right for themselves, and the result was Union Lodge, No.7."

F'oreign Correspondence.

'Brother Stanley C. Warner again presents the Report on Foreign Correspondence, and it contains a great many interesting item's. Missouri, for some cause, does not app~ar among his reviews. Perhaps our volume of Proceedings failed to reach his table. In his introduction Brother Warner says: • "The Craft, with few exceptions during the past year, has nol been so much concerned with outside matters or troublesome appendages as during the years of and immediately succeeding the war, and has' settled down to the placid but really serious work of Ancient Freemasonry. The records show a genuine spirit of charity pervading the bodiqs, and much good worl;:: performed for the amelioration of mankind. Masonic Homes and other benevolences have been greatly extended. "A lukewarmness is shown in many instances to the work of the Masonic Service Association, a feeling expressed that it has not performed its original mission. "The various Jurisdictions show an increasing interest in the George Washington Memorial. "The loyalty spellbinders seem to have had their day, and deem it no longer necessary to give vocal expression to that fealty to our Government which has always been one of the landmarks dE our Order. Some lip loyalty may have been necessary during the disturbed conditions, but surely Masonry has not further need to assert from the housetops its allegiance to a government which its members a century and a half ago were so instrumental in creating."

We note with pleasure that our esteemed Past Gran'd Master, Bert S. Lee, was present at the· Communication, and that he was received with becoming honor.

The Grand Master recommended that the assessment on the Lodges for this purpose be increased from ten to fifteen cents per member, and the recommendation was adopted. Masonic Field Day.

[Oct.

April 29th-he was - proclaimed as Grand Master, of the Grand Lodge for the 25th time in succession; and it is also interesting to know that at the same time the Noble Duke was in his 50th year as a member of the Craft. The Grand Lodge of England sent him a telegram of congratulation, and referred to the forthcoming Masonic Festival which had been enterprised to crown the success of the great endeavor which had been inaugurated under his leadership for the erection of a Memorial Temple to the memory of those Brethren who fought and who fell in the Great War. of 1914-18. The Great Festival.

This was held at Olympia on August 8th, 1925, on which occasion more than 7,000 Brethren attended and sat down at the banquet. Lord Ampthill, in proposing the toast of the M. W. Grand Master made an inspiring address, from which we quote the following: "The Great War robbed us of thousands of our most promising Brethren, who were cut off in the prime of life in discharging the noblest duty of citizenship, but it also had the unexpected effect of inspiring thousands to seek admission to our Order. We have our duty, not only to our fallen heroes, but to those w.ho, in the agony of the World War, hoped to find in Freemasonry something 路[01' which their highest instincts were craving. Our new Temple will rise not only as a Memorial to the dead, but also as a sign and inspiration to the living, so that the new generation may persist with renewed zeal in the building of that invisible Temple not made with hands, which is the ultimate and highest object of our Fraternity."

The Grand Master in his reply said: "Many thanks are due to everyone who has assisted in attaining this result, and I would wish to refer specially to the support given by Brethren from overseas, the majority of whom can never hope to see the new building. It is sometimes difficult to convince men of their responsibilities in matters outside their immediate localities, and I should like our overseas Brethren to know that I am prOUd of their co-operation and loyalty. "This spirit has also been exemplified by the desire of certain of our Daughter Grand Lodges in the Dominions to have their names identified in some way with the effort of the Mother Grand Lodge, and this, I feel sure, will be a source of gratification to us all. It makes one more link in the chain of affection and regard which binds together every portion of the Empire. "Freemasonry already has done much to foster .and deepen the unity of feeling which has existed so long among all the Englishspeaking peoples. In our future building there will be a greater opportunity of still further fostering this spirit, as our new Hea'd-

quarters are intended to be a rallying point for Brethren from all parts."

The Grand Secretary read the list of contributions which' totalled more than $4,130,00D, and it was intimated that the whole fi.ve millions aimed at would be forthcoming before the cornerstone was laid. It was also announced that the Festival at which more than 7,000 Brethren were present was unprecedented, and that it succeeded so completely was a triumph of organiza路 tion and discipline of which the Craft might be proud.

In addition to all this, he attended ten District Conventions. In concluding his Address, the Grand Master gives the following poem: "What is life? Is it a faded rose and a kiss And a starlight past? Is it a sob and a laugh of bliss With a grave at last? "Is it good-by and a turn of the road To' worlds beyond sight? Is it dragging up hill a weary load In a scorching light?

General Samuel Elbert. "General Samuel Elbert, who' had been until December, 1786, the Grand Master of the Provincial Grand Lodge of Georgia, under appointment by the Grand Lodge of England, who also had been a Colonel of Continental troops and later made Brigadier General of the Continental.Army, and who became Governor of Georgia in 1785, died in Savannah, in 1788, and was buried on Rae's Hall Plantation, overlooking the Savannah River. The mound was dug away and the bones were disinterred. The Grand Lodge, 1920, took the initiative in financing an undertaking to re-inter the bones. Patriotic organizations and the City of Savannah also contributed and at last, after long delays, on March 10th, 1924, the re-interment took place with fitting ceremonies in the Colonial Cemetery at Savannah. The stone placed on the grave commemorates' together with his military and civic honors also his great services to Freemasonry."

Conceming the Masonic Home.

The Grand Master said: "Desiring to be better informed concerning' the needs of the Masonic Home, the Grand Master had the Director of Masonic Welfare make a survey showing the condition and needs of the Home, together with a history of each child residing there. He has visited the Home frequently and finds that the children are happy, healthy and in fine condition and that their interests are being carefully looked after and attended to. A print shop has

Every Mason in the state is urged to subscribe for the Messenger, which is now the medium for all official communications and notices and a source of education, inspiration and entertainment. "The Grand Master points out that the Home "stands in crying need for funds to carry it on" and that the Trustees have been compelled to refuse admission to many children who ought to be admitted. The educational fund, too, is reported to be "below what a generous and warm-hearted Mason would wish it to be and what is in j{eeping with the high ideals and spirit of Masonry that believes in enlightenment and education." He recommends, further, that each Mason in Georgia contribute one dollar toward the creation of a Benevolent Fund to be applied to tJ:le care of unfortunate sufferers of tuberculosis. The latter proposition, after discussion by Grand Lodge, was postponed indefinitely."

This report is, of course, from the gifted pen of Brother Raymond Daniel, and covers mor.e than two hundred pages. His preface on' the "Involution of Freemasonry" is a splendid piece of work, worthy of the highest commendation. Grand Master Hamrick pays high tribute to Brother Daniel and his work as Grand Correspondent and Grand Historian.

The Grand Lodge of Missouri has been in amity with the following German Grand Lodges for a long time, but very little information concerning their "doings" in recent years has come to our attention.

In the first instance I refused to grant such dispensation, and in both instances ruled that inasmuch as the Grand Lodge had in no wise passed upon this question and there was no authority in our law, that it would seem to be inadvisable for a constituent Lodge to sponsor such a Chapter before the Grand' Lodge has given authority to do so. This question is one that will require the serious consideration of this Grand' Lodge."

Foreign Relations.

The -Grand Secretary, in his report, refers to the "situation" caused by "premature" diplomacy in relation to the "recognition" of the Grand Lodge of Denmark. He says: "Last year the Grand Lodge adopted the report of the Committee on Foreign Correspondence which recommended the recognition of the Grand Lodge of Denmark and requested the Grknd Master to arrange for an exchange of Representatives. "Upon attempting to comply with these instructions we found it very difficult. Our recognition apparently had not been invited, and but very few of the American Grand Lodges are in fraternal relations with that Grand Lodge. We found none except New York and Alabama. And not until we wrote to the Masonic Research Society of St. Louis were we able to get any information, or even to get the name and address of the Grand Secretary of Denmark, as it did not seem to be in our libt'ary. "On April 1, 1925, I wrote to the Grand Secretary of Denmark, telling him as diplomatically as possible under the circumstances that our Grand Lodge had extended recognition and suggesting the name of Brother Andrew Christenson' as the Brother nominated by our Grand' Master, Brother Frank Knox, as Grand Representative of Denmark near the Grand Lodge of Idaho. To date we have had no reply."

A Pleasant Episode.

One of the outstanding Masonic events of the year, says the Grand Master, was given by Mystic Tie Lodge No. 30B, at which the second section of the Third Degree was路 conferred by Past Grand Masters and by the present Grand Officers of Indiana. Sixteen Past Grand Masters participated. Beautiful souvenir programs were prepared and distributed to the Brethren. Past Grand Master Frank E. Gavin, impersonated K. S. in a manner seldom equalled. So says the record. The Grand Secretary

comes in for special attention, he being presented with 8 very complimentary set of resolutions by the Actual Masters and 'Wardens Association of Marion County. The Grand Instructor

is also highly complimented by the Grand' Master. for his very excellent work dllring the year. Here and There.

The Grand Lodge of Indiana goes on its way with great success. It has had a long list of mighty men on its rolls, and the "succession" is by no means exhausted. At the session under review we find the truth of the "Great Light': again verified, in . that "instead of the fathers shall be the children." M. W. Brother Wm. C. Geake, the new Grand Master, is the son of Past Grand Master William Geake, who presided over the Grand Lodge 1899-1900'. Missouri will soon have an example of this, all being well,-with one difference however, in our case the father will not be present at the inauguration of the son, he having "slippit awa" some two or three years ago, to the "land of the leal." Foreign Correspondence.

Brother Elmer F. Gay, P. G. M., again presents the report on Correspondence, and reviews Missouri with kind'ly comment. Speaking of our report he says: "It is a good one but for one exception-Indiana is among the missing." We are sorry for the omission, Brother Gay, but the volume of Proceedings did not reach our table until sometime after our report had been printed. And this year, the volu~e only rr.aches us as the last "proofs" are being read--hence we can do but scant justice, both as to spa~e and review, to a jurisdiction which is among the "chiefest" in the Masonic World.

A pleasing portrait of the Grand Master, M. W. Brother Moore, occupies first place in the volume of Proceedings, and the biographical sketch which accompanies it tells of a real "man and Mason." He is, without doubt, secure in the love and affections of his Brethren. \ The Annual Address.

This is one of the best, if not the best, that has come under our notice this year. Splendidly arranged, adorned with the choicest language, and without superfluities, it stands forth as an example of what such documents are intended to be. From it we note that the Grand Master served notice of Iowa's intention to withdraw from the Masonic Service Association. His reasons are herewith attached: "This is a matter that has given us much concern. This Association was formed some five years ago to meet what seemed a demand for a larger degree of co-operation in emergencies between Grand Jurisdictions and to secure the benefits of co-ordination in educational effort. It was recognized that路 the l)rOposition must be experimental, that a course must be felt out, tllat mistakes would be made and that real progress would be slow. The spirit of the Organizers was high and the purposes unselfish. Many mistakes were made, yet some material progress was also made. Changes were made in management and in policies to meet objections that seemed valid. Notwithstanding these changes and impl ied agreements on' policy and scope of effort, the new direction of affairs has not been satisfactory to us. There has been a pronounced feeling among us that the directing force has not always been competent, and that policies and l)rograms have been adopted that are far from what waS contemplated at the formation of the Association. I cannot but feel that much of the new program is unnecessary-unwise, in fact .. A meeting of the Association was held

in Chicago on November 11th and 12th, 1924, where changes in policies and programs were discussed but little definite action taken. Therefore, to protect our position for your action now, on March 1, 1925, I caused the amount appropriated by our last Communication to cover the year 1924-25 to be remitted and at the same time served notice of intention to withdraw a~ required by the By-laws of the Association."

In order that this matter might receive adequate consideration, the Grand Master recommended that the incoming Grand Master, acting with the approval of an Advisory Committee to be appointed by him, be given authority to continue such membership, or otherwise consummate the withdrawal. Masonic Service Committee of Iowa.

The Grand Master commends this in suitable terms, and urges its extension as far as possible. He suggests that the Bulletin be issued monthly in the future, instead of bi-monthly. Masonic Sanatarium.

A contract was entered into for the purchase of a site for a Sanatarium, and provision made to begin this work in earnest. Thus another worthy step, on charitable lines,.is undertaken by OUr good Brethren of Iowa. $50,000.00 is involved in the initial outlay. Brother H. F. Atwood, of Chicago, was introduced, and delivered an address on "Masonry and the Constitution." This is printed in full in the Proceedings. The New Grand Secretary.

Brother C, C. Hunt, who was appointed to serve out the unexpired term of the late lamented Brother Newton Ray Parvin, has won his way into the hearts of his Brethren, who showed their appreciation by electing him with a tremendous vote. He is both Grand SecretarY and Grand Librarian, and both his reports are full of interesting items. Newton Ray Parvin.

Iowa has enjoyed unique distinction in that the two Parvins, father and son, gave practically -their whole lives in the service of the Brotherhood. In that section of the Proceedings reserved for "Loving Remembrance of our Past Grand Officers who died during the past year" is the following, which we hesitate not to excerpt: "Brother Newton Ray Parvin will ever be remembered by the Iowa Craft for his long and devoted services to Freemasonry in

this Jurisdiction. His lif~ is so closely interwoven with the story of Freemasonry in Iowa that there is very little that is not affected by his fifty-three years of constant attention to its interests; his Masonic connections and the honors accorded him are so readily ascertainable from the various publications of this Grand Lodge that they need not be set forth herein. "Yet actively engaged as Brother Parvin was in the secretarial duties of the Grand Lodge of Iowa-service extending from 1872 until 1925-he will be remembered most widely as the Librarian of the great Masonic Library founded by his father in 1844. "Iowa Masonic Library" and "Parvin" are synonymous terms' to l\lasonic scholars the world over, so ineradicably have father and son impressed their personalities upon their greatest work. Inheriting a love of literature and art from his father, and a desire to collect and make available anything and everything bearing upon our gentle Craft, Brother Newton R. Parvin loyally carried out the sac-red trusts imposed upon him, and has left the field of Masonic bibliography richer for his labors. "Those fortunate enough to have known Brother Parvin personally will long remember his unbounded enthusiasm, untiring energy and intimate knowledge of things Masonic. His life was given to the Craft. In common with another great personage in Freemasonry, he too, was stricken in the performance of duty, and equally do his brethren mourn him and the loss which the Fraternity has sustained by his demission into the Grand Lodge above."

the two day-light Lodges of New York and Chicago, and gives his impressions of the "Work" done tinder such favorable conditions. Among other things, he observes: "To what extent do we make use of music in our Lodges for the more admirable and attractive rendering of our ritualistic work? "A little reftection will convince us that t.he use. of music in the work is largely conspicuous by its absence.

"It is true that there are one or two shining exceptions to this rule, exceptions which only prove the great.路 things that can be done when music is given a IHominent place in Lodge work. The two best illustrations of these splendid exceptions are t.he 'St. Cecilia' Lodges of New York and Chicago. The~e are the 'daylight~' lodges, so called because they are composed almost wholly of members ,vhose usual avocation demands that they work at nig'ht, and who must therefore attend Lodge in the daytime, if they go at all. A visit to one of these Lodges, co'mposed of actors, artists, musicians, public entertainers, and the like, is an experience long to be remembered. The rich, warm, mellow, vibrant voices of the workers, men trained in all the subleties of the art of self-expression, at once seized and held the attention of all present. The o~d, old words took on new meanings and fell with renewed force al,d life fl-om the lips of these masters of the art of elocution. These men had by the necessities of their calling been trained in the habit of trying to understand the true nature of what they were saying, for one of the first rules in the successful practice of the art of self-expression is to understand what you are about, to know just. what it is that you are trying to do and say, so that you may not only feel its force yourself, but get that feeling across to the other fellow. You can't put parrot-stuff over with a public audience. If you don't show that you know what you are talking about, and don't feel what you say, it's hisses and 'the hool,' for you. If our ordinary ritualist could bu I. realize this it would do much toward making our work as impressive as it should be. "But the best part of. the whole program was the music which was interspersed in the work on evel'Y I!Ossible occasion, often by purposely making a place for it. After an afternoon in one of these Lodges one could not escape the conviction that harmony was not only the strength and support of the society but could be made its inspiration and its life. The organ prelude played by master hands prepared the soul for an a wakening, the solemn marches made stately processions of the floor-work and the soft, plain'tive background music gave a new thrill to the spoken word. Pleyels Hymri, played and sung as never before, bore one aloft as if on angel's wing, and ' ...路 ith the wistful, !llaintively pleading strains of "Nearer My God to Thee," ont" felt as though standing in the very presence of the Great AI'chitect. Small wonder, then, that men came miles to see work so rare and fine as this. "Somehow we never think of the Masonic Ritual runs through our mind these lines from Whittier:

The Annual Report of the Grand Lodge of Ireland contains the Address of R. W. Colonel Claude Cane, Deputy Grand Master, delivered at the St. John's Day COmmunication of the Grand Lodge, held in Dublin, on December 28, 1925. The Deputy Grand Master regrets the absence of the Most Worshipful Grand Master, the Earl of Donoughmore, but explains the cause, and extends the Earl's good wishes to the Brethren. The Addres,s contains a reference to the losses sustained by death, and mention is made of the distinguished services render.ed by a number of Brethren who have been translated to the Celestial Lodge during the year. Reference is also made to certain changes in the Grand Lodge Line, and to the fact that the Craft is greatly indebted to Brothers Heron Lepper and Philip Crossle for their great work in compiling the "History of the Grand Lodge of Ireland".

The Deputy Grand Master refers to an outstanding event of the year, namely, that of the first visit of the Grand Lodge of Ireland to the Province of Munster. Concerning this, he says: "The Province of Munster is the oldest Masonic Province in Ireland, in fact the Grand Lodge of Munster is an older Grand

Lodge than the Grand Lodge of Ireland itself, and you must remember that when the Grand Lodge of Munster became incorporated with the Grand Lodge of Ireland, and subsequently was formed into a Province, that it was a very different method of proced~re to that employed in any of the other Provinces in Ireland. The Grand Lodge of Munster and the Grand Lodge of Ireland came together not as mother and daughter, but as two sister Grand Lodges, and united voluntarily in forming 'one for the whole country. Therefore the status of the Province of Munster is a little bit different to the status of any of the other Provinces in Ireland. A Munster Freemason, I discovered, is nothing if not a patriotic Munsterman, and he likes to dwell upon this fact that I have just stated, and I think'very rightly so, because if we do not take a legitimate pride in our own origin no one else will do it for us. Therefore I was only too proud to go to the Province of Munster as the Acting Grand Ma.ster of what I told them in my speech there was the United Grand Lodge of Ireland as a matter of fact. I hope that the year after next we shall repeat that visit, and I am sure we shall get the same hospitable reception."

The Grand Master presented his Address, saying: "It is good for us to be here.

It is good for us to enjoy the fellowship of those who, however varied their opinions, occupations and activities in other lines of endeavor, are yet held together by the ties of brotherhood that bind us into one living whole."

The Grand Master pays reverent tribute to the Fraternal Dead, remarking that 839 Brethren have passed into the Unseen, including two Past Grand Masters. Foreign Relations.

Nothing has marred the friendly relations with the several Grand Lodges with which Kansas is in fraternal correspondence, although questions of interest to subordinate Lodges have been , handled with a number of Sister Grand Lodges. District Meetings.

Aside from holding the usual school of instruction, there are many other objects to be attained by these meetings. The Grand Officers are enabled to get in closer touch with the Lodges and the Craft at large. They ascertain their views, become familiar with their conditions, and learn their needs. They can then suggest such measures as may seem needful. Another object is to promote good fellowship and brotherly love among the Brethren of the various Lodges. The co-mingling of the membership from the several localities tends to enlarge the horizon of their Masonic experience. They become more cosmopolitan, and often find that the Masonry they have been practicing in their particular Lodges does not measure up to the standard. Thus, in e".ery district, there is an increase in Masonic knowledge, and a growing desire upon the part of every Brother to familiarize himself with the fundamental truths and high ideals of our Ancient and Honorable Fraternity. Lodge Entertainments.

Of these, the Grand Master says: "There seems to be a tendency upon the part of some of our Lodges to engage in the theatrical business, and to turn their Lodges into ordinary clubs or social gatherings by giving or sponsoring minstrel or burlesque shows, circuses, box suppers and barn dances, and advertising them in the public press. Such entertainments cheapen the dignity of the Fraternity, and, in my opinion,

should be discoura"ged. In one case an entertainment was cancelled upon my order. " "It is my firm conviction that a fraternity of the antiquity and worth of ours will best serve communities, the state, the world, by refraining from the association with any enterprises, however excellent these may be, other than such as may properly be related to it and which, by association, .will further commend Masonry to people everywhe路re."

After an Oration, delivered by Brother Charles G. Dunlap, Professor of English Literature at the University of Kansas, which was highly appreciated, and ordered printed in the Pro-ceedings, "W. Brother Willis Coates, Past Master of Orient Lodge No. 51, of Topeka, and of which Lodge the Grand Secretary "is a member, asked permission to address the Grand Lodge, which was granted. "In offering his remarks Brother Coates first stated that he was acting as the representative of Orient Lodge No. 51, Topeka Lodge No. 17, Golden Rule Lodge No. 90, Siloam Lodge No. 225, TopeRa Chapter No.5, Zabud Council NO.4 and Topeka Commandery No.5, all of whom were interested in paying honor to our present Grand Secretary, R. W. Brother Albert K. Wilson. "He then called attention to the long and faithful years of service of Brother Wilson as Grand Secretary and Grand Recorder of the several Grand Bodies of K3.nsas, and also to the sincere desire on the part of the Fraternity of the city of Topeka to place in the beautiful Masonic Grand Lodge Building a portrait in oil of this distinguished brother as a memorial to the Fraternity in this city in particular, and to the Craft in g-eneral throughout the Grand Jurisdiction, and he took great pride in stating that this desire had now been realized and on behalf of the several bodies of this city," as indicated above, a life sized portrait in oil of our Grand Secretary had been painted by one of our most distinguished artists, George M. Stone, and he had the pleasure and honor of presenting this to the Grand Lodge. "The words expressed by Brother Coates were highly complimentary to the Grand Secretary and his faithful stewardship during all his years of service, and from the rapt attention given the speaker it was evident they met with the hearty approval of all members present. "Immediately following t11e conclusion of his remarks, the painting, which had been hung in the front of the gallery and immediately over the Grand jijast, was unveiled, to the delight of the Grand Lodge, as evidenced by the tremendous applause following. "The surprise to the Grand Lodge was insignificant compared to that of the Grand Secretary who for the time being could only make proper acknowledgment of the compliment by remaining silent."

A report was brought in later which disposed of the

Cornerstone Laying at the New Masonic Home.

The chief event connected with the 1925 Annual Communication was, without doubt, the laying of the cornerstone of the New Masonic Home. Appropriate exercises followed the ancient ceremony, and there were those present who had participated in the laying of the cornerstone of the old building more than fifty years before. It is interesting to read that the cornerstone itself was provided by a brother who had himself been raised in the old Masonic Home. Our Kentucky brethren have undertaken a stupendous task, but they are valiant men-who never look behind them; and they will succeed. The old Home brings to mind many precious memories of visits paid to it in the long ago; and faces loom up in one's mind of a num'ber of brethren who gave of their best, both in substance and service, through a long series of years, in order that the Home should function at its highest efficiency. Verily our Masonry is at its best when engaged in work of this kind .. Visitations.

The Grand Master records a long list of these, indicating that he has been in labors abundant. There is one item in this ~ist which is unusual, and is worthy of more than. a passing note. It is the fact that the Grand Master seldom missed a vis'it each Sabbath Day to the Masonic Home, attending its weekly religious service, and also ministering to the social needs of the great family cared for by the fraternity. This is all the more remarkable when we note that the Grand Master is a resident of Springfield, Ky., and not Louisville. Report on Correspondence.

Brother Clarke again presents the Report on Foreign Correspondence, and it is full of interesting items. Missouri is included in his review and M. W. Brother McIntyre's administration is commended.

Taken altogether it would appear that the brethren in Kentucky have had "a good year." True they, for the second time in the history of the Grand Lodge, report a net loss of more than five hundred members, but this is not a serious item. Rather

is, it, in all probability, a matter for congratulation. At all events it is one more proof of the dangers to which all Grand Jurisdictions have in recent years been exposed, that of abnormal growth. We always admire the volume of Proceedings which the Grand Lodge of Kentucky sends out, not only for its excellent make-up, etc., but for the fact that this work is done by the boys of the Masonic Home. It is a credit to them in every respect.

It was estimated that more than 7,500 persons witnessed the ceremony, and these will long be remembered on account of an epoch-making address delivered by the Grand Chaplain R. W. and Rev. Brother R.

caused by the illness of Past Grand Master L. E. Thomas to whom the duty of principal speaker had been assigned. The Grand Master of New York, M. W. Brother William A. Rowan, sent for presentation a beautiful silver trowel to be used on the occasion. Inasmuch as Brother Sinai was so much loved throughout Masonry in the United States, many of our readers will appreciate ~ome excerpts from the address concerning him which were uttered by R. W. Br'other Harper. "Nature seems to smile upon us as the thousands are gathered on this solemn occasion to lay the 路cornerstone of this Masonic Temple, The mists of the morning have cleared away and, in the glorious sunligh.t of the mid-afternoon and in the air which is balmy and prophetic of the coming springtime, we meet to lay the foundation stone of this great and beautiful edifice. Nevertheless, the shadows of sorrow fall darkly athwart the heart as we realize that Joseph Sinai is not in ,our midst today. He was a man worth while. As Lord Tennyson wrote of the Iron Duke of Wellington, we may now say of Joseph Sinai: '0 iron nerve to true occasion true, o fallen at length' that tower of strength Which stood four-square to all the winds that blew. Such was he whom we deplore. The long self-sacrifice of life is o'er.' He was every inch a Mason, who met every man on the level. And he was every inch a Grand Master, whos~ gavel never fell bu路t in justice, whose counsel was never given but in wisdom, whose leadership was never questioned, and whose noble and fearless soul was irreconcilably set against everything that would mar the character of a Mason. His was a great warm heart, that seemed ample to embrace all mankind in its affections. In such a heart there was no room for can't, or hypocrisy, or intolerance. And we pause here to pay our tribute of love and, affection to him, whose quenchless love of the Craft, whose far-reaching vision and whose indomitable will made this great day IJossible. That 'tower of strength' has fallen, but, unlike the sightlessgiarit of old who pulled down the temple of false gods upon him. Joseph Sinai has fallen, my brothers, that we might build here a beautiful temple unto the only true and living God. We have unwittingly slain our Grand Master, but while he, like one of old is raised to 'eternal light, the self-sacrifice and the unwearied service which hastened his death have made this great hour a reality. FOl' the Supreme Architect, in his wisdom and goodness, has enabled other noble Masters and Craftsmen to follow the designs left on the trestleboard, to take up the well-worn implements which fell from Joseph Sinai's devoted hands."

The Grand Master was a welcome delegate, to the Biennial Meeting of the Associated Boards of Relief. of Canada and the United States, at Chicago, in September, 1925, of which organization R. W. ~rother John A. Davilla is a past president. The Grand Master's impression of that work is set forth in the following paragraph: "This is an international organization with members throughout the United States and Canada. As to what its meetings mean, I refer to the words used by ML Cassius M. Doty, Assistant Corporation Counsel of the City of Chicago, who delivered the welcome address on behalf of the Mayor: "'I have been trying to determine in my own mind what it means that men and women representing the great principle of fraternism representing one of, if not the greatest fraternity on the face of the earth, should gather here from all over the continent to engage in deliberations needed to: insure fraternism and brotherhood among mankind. I have come to the conclusion that the problems you work out here during your convention, many and importan t as they may be, are the smallest part of what it means for you to assemble here. The fact that men from communities having different ideals and different social conditions unite in a common bond of fraternity and in a common desire to do good unto others should come together and spend a few days in conversation is greater than the decisions that you may make. in respect to your particular problems. It means common interest; it means solidarity and it means friendship and understanding for the people of the whole United States and Canada, and these things are important.'''

Recommendations.

The Grand Master makes several, among which is one relating to the revision of the Code, another concerning the Esoteric Work, and another concerning Grand Lo-dge Certificates. They all relate, however, .to matters in the immediate interest of the local Grand Jurisdiction.

in his Address, remarked: "And now as we go forward facing our next half century with, I hope, the same stout hearts and optimism as those who laid the foundation of this Grand Lodge so well, let each strive to weave into the. warp and woof of -his character the great tenets and teachings of Freemasonry, and so be prepared to meet not only the problems of our daily life, but the larger one of World citizenship, ever remembering. that whether a community or a nation shall flourish or decay, survive or perish, will be determined by the measure of the individual character of it,s citizens.

Perhaps the most memorable item in connection with the celebration of the semi-centennial was a very beautiful Service conducted by M. W. Brother Samuel, Primate of Ganada. His sermon concluded with the following lofty thoughts and sentiments: "I shall never forget my entrance into Freemasonry. I was just emerging into manhood and just about to enter upon the sacred Ministry of the Church. That- was over fifty years ago, and before the birth of our Grand Lodge. Perhaps I was impressionable, but I shall never forget the impression made upon me by the loft:; standards of living, placarded before me in ritual and in lecture. The Church, the Sunday School, and the Theological College had brought to me no higher ideals of an attractive and beautiful manhood. My brothers, thousands of young recruits into our order are similarly impressed year after year, and when they come out, they look not at books, but at men, brother men, in their daily life, in their thoughts and words and deeds, to see the exponents the embodiment of all this. Are they disappointed? Are they disillusioned? Is the Freemason no better politically, socially, morally, than are other men? That is why it is meet on what I have called this audit day, we should each asl{ himself, what has Masonry done for me as a man? Let me illustrate. An old friend came to me once wi th a wonderful invention which he claimed to have discovered. It was cleverly and clearly elaborated on page after page of drawings. It looked perfect on paper-beautiful, in fact. He wanted me to take stock in his enterprise. My reply was, 'Go back and make a model, and let me see the invention work. If it works, I will support it up to the hilt'. And this is what the world of sentient human beings demands of Masonry. How do all its beautiful ideals work, and the place to see them work is not on paper or merely in lofty lectures, but in the men who profess these ideals, 'in men living and moving and having their being in the arena of business life, of social life, of family life, of community life. I say to my brother Masons as I say to my fellow Christians, 'Bring down the Sermon on the Mount with its exalted standards of living, don't simply look at it and admire it away up on the Mount of Idealism, but bring it down to the throbbing activities of everyday life, and let it work there'. A man remarked to one of my clergy the other day, 'Religion is alright on Sundays and in Church. I kind of like it there, but it is not suitable for the business of life'. That is the trouble with too much of the sentiment of the world today, and we shall never set right a disturbed and disconcerted world, seething with menacing possibil-

Here and there are weak spots, the sorest of which seems to be dues. He commends two Lodges for their records in this respect. He concludes with this paragraph: "The past six months have been the most pleasant I have ever known in my entire Masonic career, and I attribute this condition to a better understanding on the part of our membership of our aims and objects and of trying to do the things that may be presented rather than annoyed by petty jealousies, useless bickerings, peanut politics, destructive criticism and a thousand and one things which tend to annoy and detract from the main object set before us as the goal of our ambitions toward which we should all strive as a unit, laboring, working and 'building for the great Fraternity which we all love and which we hope we shall hand down to our posterity, unimpaired by the ravages of internal dissention 01' criticism."

welcome, and addressed the Grand Lodge with some timely and interesting remarks .. ONE HUNDRED THIRTY路NINTH ANNUAL COMMUNICATION.' Held at Baltimore, Md., November 17, 1925. At this Communication the Grand Master did not read a written address, he having just left the hospital a few days prior to the Communication, and still feeling the effects of an illness. He, however, furnished some items of great importance, among which the following speaks for itself: "Brethren, some few years' ago, the Masonic Service Association of the United States was formed. It was distinctly stated at that time that the purpose of that Association was to overcome difficulties that had arisen during the world war whel'eby fortyeight jurisdictions could not receive recognition, not haVing a single head, as. had other associations of the United States. "n was stated at that time while a national Grand Lodge was not contemplated, that all of the Grand Lodges were invited to ,ioin an organization that would give them representation should occasion 'require. A certain per capita tax was levied; viz.: five cents per capita-and about thirty-eight. of the forty-eight Grand Lodges went into the organization. The United States was divided into districts, with certain officials representing the Association in them. The idea of the organization and the purpose as. explained to this Grand Lodge at the time we went into it was that. this per capita tax was to be the basis of a fund that was to be created for imm.ediate use shou1d a calam~ty, disaster or misfol'tune overtake any of our sister jurisdictions, and should occasion like the recent war arise that ,ve would be banded together into an organization that would at least have some official representation of the Grand Lodges who were members. That, in a nut shell, was the purpose of the Association when it was started and that is the basis, as I recall it, on which this Grand Lodge voted and entl,red as a member of that Association. Unfortunately the Brother who was Chairman of the Executive Committee slipped and the whole machine went in the ditch and' it appears that the ideals that were built by the organizers were lost. "The organization as it now exists was placed in other hands and today it is publishing a series of pamphlets that should have been received ;)y every Lodge in this Jurisdiction. If the Lodge has not received them, I am very sure that the secretaries have, because I have been assured by the Secretary of the Association that they were mailed. Those pampll1ets were to have been read before the Lodges. Then a year or so ago the Association decided to publish the Master Mason. I want to say that it is one of the best )lublications for Lodge members we have in the United States today, and is well worth $1.50 of your money. The point is this: I asked the Board of Manag-ers at OUI' meeting in October, for advice, and after discussing the matter in the Board of Managers and the way in which they had been spending our money and not re-

ceiving what we considered as value received-costing somewhat over $1500 a year-we reached the conclusion that we would present to this Grand Lodge the question of our withdrawal from that Association. On the strength of the discussion in the Board of Managers which was by no means official, T, as Grand Master, sent this lett-cr to the Executive Secretary of the Masonic Service Association, addressing him as such: "'Maryland will pay the 1925 assessment, and will withdraw from the Masonic Service Association,' at once. "Now, the thing that brought that to a head was that they had sent out a proposed amendment to their By-Laws whereby the Grand Lodges who are members of said association were to be forced to pay certain fees at certain times and could only withdraw after having paid those fees and we felt that the Grand Lodge of Maryland was not in a position to be dictated to."

On motion, the Grand Lodge voted to withdrawn from the Masonic Service Association. Foreign Recognition.

Mention was made of the withdrawal of recognition from the Grand Lodge of Belgium by the Grand Lodge of New York, and the Committee is to look into the matter, and report at the next semi-annual Communication in May, 1926. Foreign Correspondence.

The report is again from the pen of Rev. Dr. Henry Branch. Among the reviews Missouri is accorded generous space, and kindly comment is made on Brother McIntyre's . address. Drs.

In following this custom the Grand Lodge is to be congratulated, and others might take a leaf out of their book with profit to themselves and the common benefit of the fraternity at large.

The Grand Lodge is being faced with the problem of increased accommodation for its work, and a proposition was before it looking to the disposal of the present premises and the erection of larger. The wisd"om of the brethren, however, was to reject the proposal, and consequently new plans will be discussed with a view to meeting the need in question.

The Grand Master being unable to accept the invitation of' the Grand Lodge of Ireland to attend the Bi-Centenary of the formation of that body sent the Grand Secretary, R. W. Brother Fredk. W. Hamilton as his. representative, and .the Proceedings contain an interesting account of that occasion as witnessed by and participated in by him. Out of compliment to the Grand Lodge of Ireland the Grand Master of Massachusetts instructed the Grand Secretary to present to the Earl of Donoughmore, Grand Master, the Henry Price Medal, which was received with befitting ceremony. Henry Price Medals.

valedictory. There are now three hundred and seventeen lodges in the Grand Jurisdiction, two hundred and ninety-seven being in Massachusetts itself, seven in the Canal Zone, nine in China, and three in Chile-an increase of. six over last year. The number of initiates for the year was 4,844, being a decrease of 1,29'5 over the preceding year. Concerning this the Grand Master says: "The Lodges have beel1 neither crowded nor hurried in their conferring of Degrees. Therefore it is to be expected that those received into our ranks are' of a quality consistent with the high standard of character that has ever been considered distinetive ofa l\iason."

Speaking further, the Grand Master observes: "This slackening of work, as compared with years past, is welcome, for it promises the disappearance, to' a certain extent, of the sort of a Mason who is a liability to his Lodge. Either through lack of a proper attitude in his apI)roach to' the privileges and responsibilities of the Craft or because of a necessarily limited instruction the kind of Mason just a'epresented fails to measur'e in any adequate fashion the obliga,tions which he owes to his Lodge and to the entire Fraternity. Examples of .this sort have come to light during the past yeal:. Lodges in their reports to Grand Lodge are found to be ridding themselves of such members. This process of removing such persorlal liabilities, who, because of a peculiar attitUde, cannot possibly become assets, should have been undertaken long before this. It is good to know that those who are distinguished principally by their penuriousness are no longer to be permitted to enjoy the same benefits and rights and honors as those who are willing to make an adequate return for the same. Therefore our net gain in membership for the year is not large, but those whom we now have enrolled are of the right sort; they welcome their Masonic obligations and responsibilities, whatever the form may be, just as readily and just as gladly as Masonic privilege and rights, In spite of noisy demonstrations on the part of a few, which seem to prove the contrary, I am therefore led to this conclusion. The traditions of Masonry in Massachusetts as they have come forth, the interpretation of our almost two hundred years of life, are still a living influence and the unquestioned standard by which Masonic procedure is determined,"

The Grand Feast.

The distinguished guests at the Grand Feast included His Excellency the Governor of Massachusetts, Brother Alvan T. Fuller; M. W. Brother John A. Rowland, Grand Master of Masons of Canada in the Province of Ontario; M. W. Brother William H. Wardrope, Past Grand Master of the same Grand Jurisdiction; M. W. Brother Wm. W.

All of these brethren delighted their auditors with their wit, wisdoI? and eloquence and with the audition of a splendid speech from the Grand Master, and the honoring of the usual toasts, a memorable occasion was brought to a happy close. The peroration of Canon Shatford's speech is especially apt: "Brethren, we are now in the Christmas season, and you know' that the Chl'istmas season is noted for a star that blazed in the sky, and the wise men, when they followed that star, were led to the goal of human desire. The star of brotherhood is your guide and mine, and if we be wise men we will permit nothing to hinder us from following the gleam. We will keep our eyes on the star of brotherhood, wherever we are and whatever we may do, and follow it until路 it leads us into the consummation of our desires." "The crest and crowning of all good, Life's final star, is Brotherhood; For that will bring again to Earth Her long-lost Poesy and Mirth; Will shed new light on every face, A I, ingly power ~pon 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 king-s 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 Event the ages ran: Make way for Brotherhood-make way for Man."

[Oct.

All but four of the living Past Grand Masters were in attendance on the morning of the opening of the Grand Lodge. The visitors included a' distinguished Brother from Abitibi Lodge, which meets more than a thousand miles north of Grand Rapids, in the Province of Ontario. The Grand Master of Mi~higan had visited this Lodge by special request, and Brother McKerrow, the distinguished visitor at this Communication, had come to tell his Brethren of Michigan how much that visit was appreciated. Past Grand'Master R. P. Anderson.

A pleasant episode, ere the business of the Grand Lodge got under way, was introduced. It appears that Brother Anderson had lost his Past Grand Master's jewel while traveling in the West, and our good friend, R. W. Brother Lou B. Winsor, Grand Secretary, had taken steps to p,rocure another. In his own, inimitable way he now asked permission to "fix up" Brother Anderson, and said: "I thought this would be readily agreed to. since our M. W. Grand Master and the chairman of the Finance Committee were both Scotchmen-two of your clan. But what was my surprise, Bob, to see their attitude! Both of them insisted that any Scotchman who ever let anything gct out of his hands that once got into them was entitled to no consideration. But you know, Bob, what an entreating voice I possess, and how I can sometimes put tears into it. So I even melted the hearts of these ScotCh clansmen of yours and finally got permission to get you another jewel, and I wanted to take this first opportunity, at the opening of this Grand Lodge, to pin it on you. Now, Bob, for heaven's sake, be careful ,of this jewel, for I do not want to do this again. There you are, Bob; that is just as good as the other one-and cost a lot more money."

. The Grand Master recommended that hereafter no Lodge be named after a living person, and the recommendation was adopted. The recommendation of last year looking to the adoption of the District Deputy System failed to get the support of the majority of Lodges required.

Brother Lou B. Winsor, for 22 years Grand Secretary, and who has attended 43 consecutiveAn~ual Communications of the Grand Lodge, was confined to the hospital for two months during the year, having submitted to a major operation. He was most cordially greeted at this session, and thanked the Brethren for the many expressions of their good will received during his illness. Outside Relief.

A fund, from a ten-cent per capita, started in 1919, amounted to $34,967.54, out of which, during the year, $27,506.76 was distributed. From the report we quote the following: "We are assisting regularly about 300 people through the Outside Relief Fund and aside from these, the Board is frequently called upon for special amounts to help out some spe~ial case. The demand on this Outside Relief Fund will inc!'ease year by year. Our experience, in each succeeding year, in regard to the assistance given to needy cases from this relief fund, convinces us beyond all question that it is a splendid scheme to aid and assist needy Masons and their families and Masons' widows and orphans in their own homes. There are many who need help, but who are still able to do something for themselves, and it is much better to give assistance and to help such people in.. their own homes than it would be to remove them from their every-day home surroundings,"

One hundred and one members is the total for the year just ended. Commission on Masonic Education.

This was formed last year, when the Grand Lodge decided to withdraw from the National Association. '1'he report is one which we should like to print in full, for it is worthy of very careful consideration on the part of Masons everywhere. From it we cull the following: "One of the most heartening evidences of the growth of interest in Masonic education has been the great increase of Study Clubs, of which in the neighborhood of fifty have been formed. The Commission has been of great assistance to many Lodges in forming these clubs. We have sent speakers out into the state on a number of occasions. We have supplied a large number of study programs and have advised many individual students concerning Masonic books. "Your Commission believes in plain talk, and we believe that Grand Lodge appreciates that kind of talk; hence, we desire, in this report, to call the attention of Grand I.odge to the following: "1. 'To be properly carried on, the work of a Commission like this, the education of the Michigan Craft, of over 150,000 members, in Masonic history, its ideals, its symbolism, its literature and the

many other things in which Masons may profitably be educated, is distinctly a business. To be suc<!essfully carried on, it must be conducted as other successful business is carried on. It demands work, enthusiasm, plan, method, constant endeavor and the exer,cise of judgment and tact. "2. No commission nor any other body of a few men can educate the Craft or successfully carry out, alone and unaided, any policy of education of such a Craft as our Michigan Masons, constitute. We must have co-operation. Whatever scheme of education is adopted must be carried out in the Lodges or in other similar groups of Masons. "These Lodges are represented by their Masters and Secretaries. They are the sole official avenues of communication betwecn Grand Lodge and its constituent Lodges. They are almost the only bridge over which the work of Grand Lodge can be carried to thc constituent Lodge. "The importance of the Master and Secretary to any scheme of Masonic education that may be devised is evidenced by the fact that, out of 482 questionnaires sent to the Lodges of Michigan, answers were received from only 295;' and this in spite of the fact that at least three requests were made for answers from the laggards. "The last communication, sent to every Master in one group of counties, offering to send a speaker upon the subject to the Lodges, evoked only twelve answers, Later, the Secretary of your Commission h.appened to be in the city of one Master who had not replied and asked him whether he had received the letter, to which he replied that hc did not know whether he had or not. He said he received so much of that kind of - 'junk' that he had not time to answer it, and so just 'stuck it away,' "We frankly say to Grand Lodge that,.so far as such Masters and such Secretaries are concerned, an money or effort' spent in endeavoring- to carry a system of Masonic education to their Lodges is time and effort wasted."

The following recommendations were made by the Commission and approved by the Grand Lodge: "1. That this, or similar, Commission be continued, to be appointed by the Grand Master. "2. That the tenure of office of the membcrs of the Commission be so changed that five Commissioners shall be appointed to scr,ve for one, two, three, four and five years, respectively, and that, as these appointments expire, the succeeding Commissioners shall serve a term of five years, thus, ultimately, securing the appointment by the Grand Master, each 路year, of one Commissioner to serve for five years. "3. That the Commission"be authorized to secure the services of a proper person to act as Execut~ve Secretary. ."4. That a sum of not to exceed $8,000 be appropriated for the total expense of the work of the Commission."

The reviews of the individual Grand Lodges form an exhaustive resume of the proceed'ings, and are very ably compiled. Missouri is among them, but, unfortunately for this correspondent, the copy coming to our desk is a mutilated one, and lacks a number of pages, among them being the larger part of Brother Gallagher's review of our own Grand Lodge Communication of 1924.

The committee in charge of the fraternal service at Rochester report that the work has increased about thirty per cent in the last two years. In 19'23 its representative ministered to the wants and assisted in the care of 1,956 Masons and members of the Eastern Star, making 5,471 calls. In 1924 he had in his charge 2,772 persons making &,601 calls. In 1925 the number had increased to 3,053 necessitating 8,105 calls.

This increase in the number of brethren cared for is accounted for largely by the fact that the knowledge of this service has, spread widely to other jurisdictions carried home by patients who were not backward in sounding the praises of this work as evidenced by the splendid letters sent back from the patients themselves, from their Lodges and in two or three instances from the Grand Bodies expressing their gratitude to the Masons of Minnesota for the fraternal care of their members. The brethren of Rochester Lodge No. 21, feeling that there should be some one in the building who could furnish reliable information at the time Brother Warner was absent on his calls, very kindly and at their own expense hired a Brother to take charge of their club room in the Temple, to greet visiting brethren and make appointments for him.

Anent this organization the Grand Master says: "Again the suggestion comes that a recommendation be made by the Grand Master that the precedent established in previous years with relation to the sponsoring of Chapters of the Order of De Molay by our Subordinate Lodges be reverseq. and that the Order receive the official sanction of the Grand Lodge. "Masonry supports and recognizes what is good in any individual, society, church or fraternity; likewise condemns intolerance, wrong, injustice, class governmen t" attempted enforcement of law by unlawful methods or disloyal ty in any form or mallner. "But Masonry would fall far short in its high ideals did it seek, as has been advocated by a certain publication of extreme and doubtful repute, that all fraternal bodies should unite in the extermination of a particular religious sect, those of a certain designated nationality, or those who differed with the ideas of the editor of the publication, politically, socially or otherwise. "Similar organizations may have the same high ideals, hold similar opinions in many respects, but to connect or consolidate them would create discord, trouble and disaster. "The numerous and recent established opinions and precedents of the Grand Lodge conform, in my opinion, to the requir'ements of Masonic law and custom."

A splendid report on this was presented from whiCh it would appear that Minnesota had paid up about forty per cent of its quota. Efforts are to be put forth to, bring up the balance in the near future. In Conclusion.

The Seventy-third 'Communication seems to have been one of great harmony and brotherly love. The Grand Lodge, while sympathetic to a number of appeals for larger co-operation in the matter of enterprises of more than a jurisdictional magnitude, yet wisely, we think, determined to confine itself, at present, to the completion of one-viz: the George Washington Memorial. One thing, well accomplished, is worth more than half a dozen things half done,.

ough investigation which included a personal interview with this brother and with Masons in the affected district, I ordered the discontinuance of these schools. I had discovered conflict and its accompanying confusion in the introduction of a system other than that recognized by the Grand Lodge, viz. "The Deputy System" which unquestionably has brought order out of chaos so far as uniformity of the work is concerned-the result of many years of sacrificial service rendered by our Grand Lecturers and their faithful deputies.

A Tribute to the Reality of Masonic E.quality. Toward the conclusion of his address the Grand Master says: "I am a train dispatcher employed by this, the best ral1road on earth. Common gratitude demands this· recorded acknowledgment of the co-operation and courtesies extended me by my stfperior officials, in the discharge of my duties as Grand Master. To begin with, they might have easily adopted an attitude which would have forced .me to decline this great honor at your hands; for a lack of such cooperation and courtesies would have placed me in the unenviable position of accepting the honor Without attempting to render service commensurate with that honor. Justice, therefore, would have demanded that I decline. But nineteen years' experience had taught me what I might expect at the hands of this company whose motto is Service, and whose courtesy is not exceptional, but characteristic. If.J have rendered any worthwhile service to 'the Craft, then lowe much to them who taught me how to best serve."

The Masonic Service Association, the Masonic Relief Association, and the GBorge Washington Memorial Association have a warm place in the affections of our Mississippi Brethren, and their delegations never fail to profit by their attendance upon the meetings of these bodies.

Appendix.

[Oct.

"It is路 with the greatest pleasure that I report to you that the Lodges of the state are in almost every instance prosperous and progressing; that peace and harmony prevail.

"The spirit of Masonry pervades thc jurisdiction. There is hunger for real Masonic light and knowledge. Practically every Lodge has added materially to its membership. Let me suggest to those Lodges that feel that Masonry is lagging or slipping, to look toward the mirror. If such an atmosphere prevails, investigate and see .~f the fault is not directly in their own Lodge. I can assure them, after a year, taking me to all parts of the jurisdiction, that the malady is not prevalent. The future looms before us bright with promise. While preparing this report, our Grand Secretary dampens my enthusiasm to some extent with his predictions, based On what few annual returns from subord'inate Lodges have arrived, that our net gain in membership will be very small indeed, and goes so far as to warn me that there may be absolutely no gain at all. However, I am optimistic and can not at this time believe that such will be the result. "Recently there have been an unusually large number of suspensions for non-payment of dues. Had all the Lodges been doing their positive duty in the past few years and suspending members for this reason at the proper time, there would not have been such an accumulafion this year and the year's record would have made a better appearance. This Grand' Jurisdiction has experienced what practically all jurisdictions have experienced in -the past few years, especially the year following the war, when we added to our roster member;; that we were unable to assimilate. We acquired members but not in all cases Master Masons. This year the reaction has taken place. Your Grand Master is not alarmed however; this condition will adjust itself, as the numerous suspensions recently will indicate: After all, what we have always strived for is quality and not quantity. We must forever bear in mind that the value and usefulness of our beloved fraternity dQes not depend upon numerical strength so much as upon the character of the individuals that compose it. "In my presence now are the Worshil)ful Masters and their successors of this Grand Jurisdiction. It is your duty, to a great degree, to see to the conduct of the Lodges of Montana. It is your sworn and solemn duty to require the ;;trictest inquiry into the character of applicants for membership. Never allow a candidate admission to obtain a good character. See absolutely thal he possesses that requisite before we accept him. This is not a reformatory, although we do have the ability to make a man better. Let us make it a practice to take good material only and then improve it."

Under this head the Grand Master announces the passing of three illustrious members of his official family, viz: R. W. Brother Richard Lockey, Past Grand Treasurer; M. W.Brother William

Not only Montana, but the entire Masonic world is poorer by reason of his passing. A special Memorial Meeting was held during the session of the Grand Lodge at which a very impressive program was carried out. Grand Secretary's Report.

In this the new Grand Secretary refers to t.he handicap under \vhich he has prepared his report, and has the following observations to make: "The writer of a cheerful or happy report under adverse circumstances such as have obtained in the Treasure State, and for that matter everywhere else in the western or mountain states fOl路 several years past, is the work of a路 genius and your secretary is not such. While now things are on the up-grade and the sky is blue once more, the after-effects of the wide-spread depression, so far as an increase in membership is concerned have been most distressing-; nothing like it has occurred in the history of this Grand Lodge. By "Condition of the Craft," of course is meant a healthy growth in membership, such as has been reported to you from year to year, ranging from 2,094 in 1920, the banner year, to four or five hundred or more in previous and subsequent years. In 1923 Brother Hedges in his general report said: 'The net gain this year of 754 is the smallest for eight years and' is little more than one-third of our high water mark of 2,094 in 1920.' He concludes: 'Despite apparent adverse conditions it has been a year of worthy accomplishments and we have much for which we should be thankful.' What he would say today of the net gain of 88, the writer cannot conjecture. The best thing he can say is, we have cause to be thankful that an increase at all, and not a loss is shown: After all is said that can be路 said, business conditions and the unprecedented number of suspensions have made an increase of any note impossible, although 745 new Masons were added to our ranks by initiation. It is safe to say that the lowest water mark ever to be recorded in this respect has been reached and henceforth each year a substantial growth will be reported. In times of adversity a stiff upper lip is the sine qua non of a Mason, and a sagging one is not an ornament to the wearer of the apron. Let us give thanks that the worst is over and the storm has been weathered with all sails flying."

Masonic Service AEsociation.

The Grand Master lays this matter before his Brethren in the follOWing terms: "A year ago, the Grand Master of North Carolina said in his annual address, 'the Masonic Service Association would be far bet-

tel' off without some of the Grand Lodges as members than with them, since they don't use what they have and therefore are going to breed kickers who will ultimately hurt the cause for others.' I wonder if he was referring to Montana. In a way we are guilty but the fault is not all ours. We are not receiving what we should, or rather, could, from our membet'ship in the Association; 路neither do I see how we can without a considerable outlay of money. Some of the Grand Jurisdictions are getting the very utmost from it. However, like all things in Masonry and all things else, we must put something in to get something out. North Dakota Jurisdiction is getting most all of it. However, in 1924, their total expense for the year including per capita to the Masonic Service Association was $8,081.07. They employed an executive secretary at a salary of $3,000.00. I have not their figures for 1925. However, the Association has not fulfilled their contract with us, I am informed. They have not furnished the Speakers' Bulletins or the new films as scheduled. If they had, I doubt whether we could have made the proper use of them with the speakers at our command and the necessary large expense to cover such a large field. I have been thinking and' talking about more and better Masonic knowledge and education all this year and I am firmly convinced that it can be secured and disseminated through membership in the Masonic Service Association but it will cost real money to function properly. Much good has 路been and is still being accomplished but I personally feel that unless we can see our way clear to organize and carry out the programme we shall secure little if any benefit by remaining a member of the Association. Jurisdictions who carry out the full programme as has North Dakota, find that the expense of doing so amounts to from $4,000.00 to $6,000.00 in addition to the annual dues to the Masonic Service Association."

In General.'

Masonry. in Montana is a vigorous institution, and the Brethren there are alive to its possibilities. The death of Brother Cornelius Hedges is a sore loss to them, but, doubtless, someone will arrise to carryon the work which he loved so well. We had the pleasure of meeting Grand Master Hart during his year of office, and from him we understand that, all things considered, the future of our Craft in the Treasure state is bright with promise. Foreign Correspondence.

Brother Hepner submits his seventeenth Annual Report as Correspondent, which is, as usual, a very readable document. Missouri is reviewed in that kindly spirit which is characteristic of the Reviewer, and many quotations are made from the Address of our Grand Master McIntyre, as also from the Correspondent's Report, for all of which-thanks.

Concluding his report, Brother Hepner says: "We have faith in our civilization, in our nation and in Masonry; this trinity will and shall be linked together in the onward goal of making the world better, humanity happier, and lead mankind to the altar where all will worship the true ideals of the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of MHn. "As we read the volume of proceedings coming to us during the year, our heart is frequently saddened at noting the departure into the higher realms, of Grand Secretaries and Correspondence writers, whose labors we came to know year after year; valiantly have they fought life's battles, many devoting lifetime to their chosen labors in the Masonic quarries; the strong and the weak alike pay tribu t.e to the Dark Angel; the memorials to these Brethren are ineffaceably inscribed -in the splendid monuments of their labors found in the written and printed pages' of Grand Lodge transactions."

The Grand Master said: "Viewed in the light of existing conditions, Masonry. in this Jurisdiction, has made wonderful progress in the past year."

He also says that "b.usiness in this jurisdiction has multiplied to such an extent that a Grand Master must devote most of his time to the duties of that office." He laid ten cornerstones, gave dispensations for four llew Lodges, and dedicated -a number of halls. He appointed a special committee on Masonic Education, and one member of the Committee - has delivered an illustrated lecture on the early history of Masonry in this country in a number of Lodges.

The membership of this Grand Lodge consists of 3,698 in Lodges in Holland, 1,560 in South Africa, and the remainder in the East and West Indies.

The Deputy Grand Master of Holland's Lodges. in South Africa was present at the Communication, and received a hearty welcome. At a get-together on the day preceeding the Annual Communication a paper was read by Brother Vanden Berg on "The Craft and the Youth of the Land." Past Grand Master Lingbeek raised the question "Have We Masons, As Such, Anything to Offer to the Young Now?" Brother De Groot illumined the discussion wit,h the following quaint experience. He said: "Whenever the talk is about the young people's movement, the

usual idea is that this is an organized endeavor, and I hold that the great curse of the present is that there is too much organizing. Whenever we think in our circles of leadership in the young people's movement, we find, as we can see with regret, that others are making themselves more or less the masters of youth. This is the core of the question before us. Now, I believe that when we question ourselves, as Bro. Ling-beek did, what we have to give to youth, that we then must think of what Bro. Vanden Berg said with reference to our own households. It struck me that he said that with many, home is a sort of hotel where one goes in and out. Look, Brethren, it just so happened that our house was a sort of hotel. I have always noticed at home-and that did not always come from me; in that respect. my wife was perhaps somewhat more Masonic than I-when 1 had two children, then I usually had twenty. My house was always full of boys and girls. When I wan ted to sit down in an easy chair, the boys occupied it playing boat. Mother, the woman said, when you were married twenty-five years since, the easy-chair belonged to you, but now our house belongs to our children and those whom our children love. When the Masonic spirit reigns in our home and we have around us the friends of our children, then we also acquire an influence over the young. I have drawn therefrom this conclusion that many a time -not that I am an exceptional individual-the friends of my children come to me, whenever they have weighty matters, and say: May I just talk with you about this? I believe that starting from that direction we can do more for the young than by going 01'ganizing."

H. P. Van Nieuwenberg.

At a meeting held January 16, 1926, in Freemason's Hall, the Hague, the Grand Master opened his address as follows: "Deeply moved by the great loss which the Craft has suffered in the departure from our midst of Bro. Van Nieuwenburg, I open this first assembly of the new year. "How differently I had imagined this moment, and with what anticipation of pleasure I had looked forward to it for the privilege of offering to all of you my best wishes for the New Year. "The words which I would desire to have addressed to you, now refuse to pass my li!)s, now that we miss the presence in the body with us of Bro. Van Nieuwenburg, who for so many years used to occupy the seat beside the Chairman and who served the Craft so well in all that long time with his advice and keen judgment."

In a memorial letter to the Craft the Grand Master said: "With all thc gifts of mind and heart he labored for the good of manl{ind and the smaller community represented by our Fraternity. "Being an educator par excellence, his teaching, first at Nijmegen and later at Hertogenbosch and The Hague, has been a blessing to his many pupils.

M. W. Brother Edward A. Ducker is a Justice of the Supreme Court, and a striking portrait prefaces the volume of proceedings. In his address he tells that he has visited 20 of the 23 Lodge~ in the jurisdiction, and that he has emphasized the study of Masonic woI1t and Masonic laws, and the exercise of benevolence.

This contains little of interest outside local surroundings. One Lodge was constituted, thirty-three dispensations were issued, sixteen of them to wear regalia at Divine Service; and three Grand Representatives were commissioned. Finances.

The report of the Grand Treasurer shows the following balances: General Fund, $5,296.63 ; Benevolence, $1,362.18; and Sinking Fund, $763.25. Foreign Relations.

The Committee, after recalling that the Grand Lodge of New Brunswick is at peace with all the English-speaking Grand Lodges throughout the world, has this to say: "This does not include the several Grand Lodges of Prince Hall Masons in the United States, which are unrecognized by us, not because this Grand Lodge has decided that they are illegitimate in origin, but because we must defer to the American doctrine of territorial jurisdiction that forbids us to recognize two Grand Lodges in one state. If it should come to pass, in the course of events, that our white brothers and our black brothers agree to let each group have an organization of its own~and there are signs of an approach between them-we who know no distinction of caste might then be able to recognize both."

If there are signs of the white Grand Lodges of the United States ever agreeing to recognize the Prince Hall (so-called) Masons, we confess that we have not seen them. The Grand Lodges seem 'perfectly willing to let the Prince Hall negro Masons occupy their present status-that of clandestine Masons.

The recognition heretofore accorded to the York Grand Lodge of Mexico was withdrawn. There is no report on Correspondence.

The Gmnd Master reports on the dedication of the new temple at Derry; the laying of the cornerstone at Keene; and reports a good deal of courtesy work done for Lodges in many states, also for Lodges in China and Quebec. Masonic Home.

Mention is maode of the fact that the Brethren have responded with their $1.00 per capita, which they assessed themselves one year ago for 路a period of five years, this to go to an extension of the accommodations at the Masonic Home. The Treasurer has $15,08& in hand on this account for the year-meaning a clean slate. An upper story of one of the new wings is to be an infirmary, and the addition gives 18 more sleeping rooms, and two large living rooms. Decisions and Recommendations.

The Grand Master rejoiced in that he had not been asked to render any decisions, and he says that the credit for this is rightly due the Masters of the Lodges. Likewise the Grand Master makes no recommen'<iations, Le. in the general routine. But he does make one which is of great importance, and which evidently won unanimous approval. It has reference to the splendid work of the Grand Secretary Harry M. Cheney-the man with the red neck tie!

Appendix.

~heney.

Brother Cheney's work and worth are splendidly set forth in a lengthy paragraph by the Grand Master, and attention is called to the fact that New Hampshire has been "asleep at the switch" in the matter of proper remuneration. He points out that Brother Cheney stands in the very forefront of Masonic leaders, and that his worth is appreciated by everybody who comes in contact with him. He makes a suitable recommendation concerning an increase in salary, both for his work -as Grand Secretary and also that of Grand Correspondent, and we note with pleasure that the report of the Committee on Grand Master's Address fully endorsed the recommendation, and the Grand Lodge adopted the report. All this is very pleasing, not only to the Brethren in New Hampshire, but to all those, and they are many, who have had the pleasure of coming in contact with our good Brother. Foreign Correspondence.

Brother Cheney begiJ?s this by saying that it is "Report No. 19." He also says that the work instead of growing irksome, has' a growing fascination. He expects to continue it until usefulness is exhausted, with someone else as the jury to determine the fact. Brother Cheney s,ays: "I have by no means attempted to keep myself wholly out of these pages. I have tried not to put too much of myself therein. If we did not have birds the insects would starve us to death. If we did not have the insec~s there would be a birdless world. That is nature's balance. I have tried, in my writing, to create a balance, as to myself." -Brother Cheney's review of Missouri is interesting in that it has this paragI'aph: "New Hampshire, a few years ago, lost one by death, James McGregor, aged 108 years, whom we thought of as the oldest Freemason. Missouri now claim~ that distinction, one of their Brethren bE'ing 106 years of age." "

So "one thing brings up another", as the Irishman said. Concluding his review Brother Cheney says: "It is a very great disappointment to find nothing of New Hampshire in the Correspondence. The whole book, including the report which we have now reached in our reading, is so inspiring that the omission is felt. \Ve suppose that our publication recalling the date of its mailing did not arrive in season for a revie"o/ to b~ made."

Which is a fact.

Attention was called as the Grand Master was about to read his address, to the fact that this was his silver wedding anniversary, and the Brethren unanimously extended their hearty felicitations, and ordered a floral remembrance to be sent to Mrs. Foulds at her home in Passaic. Beginning, the Grand Master referred to the Fraternal Dead in choice terms, and then ,informed the Brethren that Sir Alfred Robbins had sent a characteristic letter of thanks for the beautiful diploma of Honorary Membership in the Grand Lodge which had been presented to him on behalf of the Grand Lodge by M.

Masters has presided over the annual meeting of the Association, and the present Grand Master is now Chairman of the Executive Committee. A great program has been developed, and put into work. At this session report is made that a special edition of the "Master Mason," the organ of the Association, is to be taken by the New Jersey Jurisdiction, at the unusual price of one dollar per copy, and that every member in the Jurisdiction is to be assessed for it. The Grand Lodge listened to an address by Brother Andrew L. Randell, in which it was highly commended for the interest taken in the Association. Costumes in Degree Work. The Grand Master says: "Several requests having been received for permission to wear costumes in degree work, I refex:red the matter to the Committee on Ritual. That Committee has submitted to me the following opinion, which I approve: 'Your committee are of the opinion that the wearing of costumes adds neither to the dignity nor impressiveness of our ceremonies and we feel that some costumes might even have the opposite effect. We, therefore, are of the opinion that it is not desirable that costumes be worn in our Lodges, but that the Brethren should wear the generally accepted style of clothing and should be properly clothed with an apron and with head uncovered.' "It is not intended to prohibit the use of costumes in Lodge work, but ra.ther to discourage the general' adoption of costumes." Addresses by Distinguished Visitors.

Among these was one by M. W. Brother Henry C. Dexter, Grand Master of Rhode Island, which contains thoughts that are worthwhile. Here is a paragrRph: "I picked up a report of a Grand Lodge in the Grand Secretary's office of Rhode Island the other da.y and it reflected considerably my sentiments. It had been printed in 1876 and it told about the mania for legislation, which I have observed and spoken about upon a number of occasions. I have thought for a long while that Congress was turning out too many laws a.nd the 48 Sovereign States so called were doing the same thing. ~y reading some of the Grand Lodge reports througout the 48 Grand Jurisdictions, I note the craze for legislation. Legislation is the panacea for all our ills. If a law is placed upon the statute books in a . State, there are some Masons ,,,..ho think it should be enacted immediately into Masonic law. Now the position I take is one that every Mason is amenable to the laws of the State and Country, and there is no necessity for the fraternity to re-enact statute law into the Masonic law. If we do so towards one law, it will mean the enactment of. the entire statutes of the State. I think it is

Appendi,%.

[Oct.

sufficient that when ;:t man is made a Mason he assumes an obligation to be true and loyal to the laws of the country in which h0 lives. (Applause). I think that in itself is quite sufficient. I know that there is a strong disposition otherwise, and oftentimes the profane, and many times our own members think that it would be highly desirable and the duty of Freemasonry to engage in public enterprises and in things of a public nature. You will meet Masons who say: "Why couldn't we l)articipate in this campaign of the Red Cross? Why couldn't we participate in this Liberty Loan drive? \Vhy couldn't we participate in this preparedness parade?' Now that would be subversive of Masonic principles a:nd teachings, in my humble opinion. For this reason, in Freemasonry every Brother receives the teachings of good citizenship to go out into the narrow walks of life and exemplify those principles and teachings of good conduct and citizenship as taught within the lodgeroom; but, mind you, they go out as individuals and not as representatives or members of any Lodge. "We believe that they can accomplish much more; will be much better understood and that their views will be more easily and readily accepted, as our population in many communities is sort of a heterogeneous one, coming from many countries and of many sects and religions. For the same reason again Freemasonry does not enter or participate in all pUblic demonstrations, however laudable they may be, fOI" it would be establishing a very dangerous precedent. Rut our membership as individuals is always strongly represented in every effort and undertaking that has for its purpose the uplift of the community. We just pursue the even tenor of our way, and our institution has enjoyed a creditable existence for several centuries. "l\Tuch of the good in legislation today is the result of the influence and the teachings as imparted within the lodge room."

The report is again from Brother Shirrefs, who has had the assistance of Brother E. A. Reed. As' usual the reviews are conspicuous for their brotherly spirit, and abound in interesting facts. ( \ Missouri receives kindly treatment and favorable comment, for which-thanks! The Incoming Grand Master.

In the dying hour of the session, the newly installed Grand Master, with an evident realization of the tasl\: before him, addressed the Brethren as follows: "Brethren of the Grand Lodge: I will detain you in order that I may ipeak for just two moments on something which I wish I could have spoken of while we had a full assemblage here this morning.

"Yesterday this Grand Lodge took most important action on two most important matters. The first was the annual appropriation of one dollar a year from each member of our Grand Jurisdiction for the next five years for the Masonic Home Charity Foundation. The second had refprence to the matter of "The Master Mason" coming to every Mason of this State for the next year for the sum of one dollar. That means two dollars in effect, to be added to the dues of every Mason in this State. "Now bear in mind, Brtlthren, that your Lodges have not had the opportunity of the inspiration of this communication; bear in mind that they did not see, arid it is up to you to bring to their consciousness so clearly that they can sec, that sight which we had here this morning, that clean faced, clean eyed, noble little family who might have been your sons or your daughters, or mine, and which were the sons and daughters of Master Masons, brothers of yours and mine, and if you will bring back to the members of your Lodge-all whom you can possibly reach-what took place here this morning, we will not have one bit of trOUble in the world in getting what we want."

One state in March reported the death of 124 by automobile. We all hold up our hands in horror and say this is terrible and yet tuberculosis kills thousands and we simply take it for granted. On account of its first hand observation of the many victims of tuberculosis, New Mexico Freemasonry seems to have "inherited the carrying on * â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ into a national movement" a Masonic sanatorium for tubercular treatment. Anticipated assistance from the Scottish Rite and the Masonic ServiGe Association of the United States appears not to have materialized. The sub-joined paragraph from the report of the New Mexico Committee is interesting: "If the donation by the Masonic Service Association to the American School in Japan had been applied toward the founding of beds for the caring for afflicted members and restoring them to health, would it not have accomplished greater good to humanity? For, by placing these tubercular Brethren in a sanatorium where the proper treatment would be given, they would have not only returned them to their families and thus added to the nation's wealth, but also removed them from COn tact with innocent children of such families and prevented the children from contracting the diHease at the most susceptible age of from birth to about fifteen. It is almost a certainty that a child living in a home with an active tubercular will contract the disease; so, by placing such afflicted Masons in sanatoria and hospitals for proper care, such a menace will be at least in part removed. The American people are the most hysterical on earth, and for that reason, when any body of

them get together, you may expect them to act accordingly. If the money appropriated for the rebuilding of a school in Japan had been used to provide bed's, for tubercular Masons, thus enabling them to return to health and care for themselves and families, besides adding to the national wealth-would it not have been better, although not with such a grand stand effect?"

M. W. Brother Thompson was proclaimed Grand Master for the tenth consecutive time on July 4, 1923. He remarks that he finds the Brethren all over the state making every sacrifice to acquire their own temples, and then another great feature is their Masonic schools, flourishing in every respect, with 72 of the happiest little children that New South Wales contains. The Grand Lodge unanimously adopted the Grand Master's recommendation that their trustees expend not exceeding $375,000 in the erection of two additional bungalows, school room and laundry at the "William Thompson Masonic School". Thinlgs in General.

Thirteen Lodges were consecrated, seven cornerstones were laid, and five new temples dedicated. Many Dispensations were issued, quite a number being for the initiation of Lewis's. This is a matter of interest to our American Grand Lodges, and is probably the Australian way of dealing with the problem of the young man which in America has been attempted in the De Molay Movement.

Co-Masonry. This is condemned strongly, and speaking of the K. K. K., the Grand Master says: , "Already we are inclined to admit too many American ideas, and this particular brotherhood is a purely American organizJ.tion and one that is doing very reprehensible work in that country, etc."

The closing remarks of the Grand Master concerning his ten years' service reveal a wonderful record. We quote: "During these ten years the membership of our Lodges has increased from 20,477 to 56,000; our Lodges from 254 to 484; and our fund from 46,879 to 212,731. I have signed over 43,000 Master Mason certificates, and have installed 272 Masters in the chair. About $400,000 has been expended in the purchase or erection of Masonic Temples, and I have had the pleasing duty of laying some 43 foundation stones. My official visitations have numbered 875, and to effect these I have journeyed over 50,000 miles in my own car, without allY cost to this Grand Lodge."

Arthur Henry Bray. M. W. Brother Bray, one of the best known and most widely esteemed figures in Australian Freemasonry, ripe in years and experience, handed in his resignation as Grand Secretary on March 6, 1924. He was originally appointed as Secretary to the lDnglish Constitution in 1884; and in August, 1888, was elected Grand Secretary of the United Grand Lodge of New South Wales. After such a record he retires full of years and honors. In view of his long and faithful s~rvices he was granted an annuity of $3,750 for life. Correspondence.

Grand Master's Address.

This occupies fifty pages, and is a worthy document. It has special interest to us in Missouri in that the Grand Master is a native of our beloved Commonwealth. His reference to the Fraternal Dead includes a. long list of the prominent Brethren of many Grand Jurisdictions who have entered the Celestial Grand Lodge during the past year. A long list of "Ceremonies" is attached to the Address, showing tha~ the Grand Master was a very busy man, and that he spared not himself in his devotion to the Craft. Every special interest of the Grand Lodge passes under his scrutiny, and from llaragraph after paragraph we note progr.ess. Masonic Service Association.

The Grand Master says of this: "Last year in my address I said concerning this Association, from which we had withdrawn: 'Should the Association be reorganized, and adopt a course that is within reach of possible practical fulfillment, this Grand Jurisdiction should make some contribution to its operat.ion. If we are to render help, we should I,now definitely what that help is to be, and determine for ourselves the extent to which help will be given; and with that as a possibility, I recommend that the matter for the present be left in the hands of the Grand Master to deal with as in his judgment may best serve t.he interests of the Craft in this jurisdiction; meanwhile, to join any conference of Grand Mast.ers looking toward an arrangement to act as a unit in an emergency.' . "So far as I have been advised, there has been no reorganization, nor material change in plan, nor has there been called any conference of Grand Masters looking toward an~ arrangement to act as a unit in an emergency; therefore, nothing has been done in either case."

Tuberculosis Sanatoria Association.

The Grand Master presents this most worthy enterprise with characteristic thoroughness; and, after setting forth the objects, etc., he says: "Inasmuch as New Yorl, h3 mentioned as being- second on the list of the six states furnishing the most migrants, and that New York furnishes. a large part. of the migration to the Southwest, and that Masons form a part of the migl'ation of the sick to the Southwest, I sent to the Master of each Lodge a letter requesting him to have the secretary send to the Grand Secretary at once a list giving all the names and addresses of the members of his Lodge at present residing in Arizona, Texas and New Mexico, and have the secretary, where it is known that the Brother was afflicted with tuberculosis, to so indicate On his list, and advise what has been done in his case; at the same time a copy was

sent to the District Deputy Grand Master of each District, with a request that he follow the matter up. Out of 965 Lodges, reports have been received from 884. These reports show there are 217 of their members residing in Texas, Arizona and 'New Mexico; 192 of this number are in good health as far as the Lodge records show; two were afflicted with tuberculosis, but have recovered, and 23 are at present afflicted, and are there for their health; some of these are in good circumstances; some being cared for by their relatives; none apparently have asked for assistance at home. These reports are not to be taken as final, for the. reason that reports from 81 Lodges are missing, and for the further reason that the present physical cond'ition of each member will have to be checked up, and should any of them be unable to meet the expenses of the treatment they require, and in the proper way, assistance should be promptly furnished them in the same manrer as though they were residents here, together with the expense of di::;tribution to the indivi'duals through whatever agency may be selected in each state, whether it be the Association referred to, or otherwise, and as the Trustees of the Mason ic Hall and Asylum Fund do not have the necessary funds, I recommend they be supplied with such fund's as they may find to be necessary. This would seem to meet the following requirement in a publication of the National Masonic Tuberculosis Sanatoria Association, sent by M. W. Bro. Miller, reading as follows: 'We propose to make an effort, which we have faith to believe will be successful, to interest Masons of the United States in this problem to secure their help to meet this need. ThB Masons of the Southwest will give their time, what money they can afford, and their talents, to work out this problem in the future. as they have in the past, if our Brethren in the North, South, East and West will help us to take care of their own members who come out here and sooner or later appeal to our local Lodges for help.'''

This matter was referred to the elective' Grand Officers and the Committee on Jurisprudence for consideration and report. Administration and Growth of the Craft.

The following paragraph is especially informing. Master says:

The Grand

"In the past twenty-five years we have increased our membership from 106,235 to 320,985; we have increased our Districts from 41 to 58, and up to this session we have increased the number of Lodges from 750 to 967; during that period we have increased the administrative force by 17 District Deputy Grand Masters and the Law Enforcement Committee by four members, the fifth member being a permanent member of Grand Lodge. We have added to our work the Social and Educational Service, the Publication Bureau, now publishing the Outlook, and the Employment Committee, as well as the various Funds mentioned below. "We have not furnished adequate help to the District Deputy Grand Masters in connection with this increased membership, and

added activities, and for the collections of the War and Relief Fund, George Washington Memorial Fund, and the Hospital Maintenance Fund. We have rapidly become a large organization, and we should increase our administrative force sUfficiently to deal as conveniently and efficiently as possible with the situation. We cannot do 'otherwise, if we are to make the progress we should make with our undertakings; there is much work to be done throughout the jurisdiction, in addition to the items mentioned, bringing home to the officers and members of the Lodge a better understanding of their duties, giving proper understanding of our country and its institutions to those uninformed, or ill informed, in regard thereto, and various others matters beyond the possible reach of the District Deputy Grand Masters, within the time at 路their disposal, or the committees now endeavoring to carryon this worle The trouble occurring in' a number of Lodges this last year, and this year, could have been prevented by a better knowledge of the trend of matters; the suspension of three charters could have been avoided." .

Politics in Assemblies of the Craft.

The Grand Master warns against this as follows.: "The large membership of the' Craft, with its constantly increasing numbers, opens a large field for political venture. For this there should be permitted no opening wedge; Masons as citizens in politics, yes; the institution of Masons in politics, never! Shortly we will be in the midst of a political campaign, and from my experience of the last two years, -I say, keep a watchful eye, and be vigilant to see that the institution, as such, is not in an'y way involved."

Retirement of the Grand LectlJrer.

R. W. Brother Horace W. Smith, for nearly thirty-five years a member of the Grand Lodge, and for some eighteen years Grand Lecturer, was made Grand Lecturer Emeritus, and given an annuity of $2,000.00 for life. Many complimentary things were said of his splendid services to the Craft. Veterans.

It is quitc possible, Brethren, that you may see my facc no more, although, plcase God, I hope I may be with you many years. I want my Brethren of the various districts to carry back to myoId friends and comrades of other days my love and grc路ctings and the tender recollections which I have of them. "Then, too, Brethren, I want to say that, with all my experience in this Grand Body, I have never witnessed such decorum; I have never witnessed such interest; I have never witnessed such unity, such real brotherly love, from the Grand Master, from every District Deputy Grand Master, from every other officer and from every representative extended to each and all as I have witnessed here since Tuesday. God be praised! Brethren, w~ are a united, a happy and a harmonious Grand Lodge; and' carry the delightful news back to your respective Lodges. "One thing more, and I am done. The presentation of the Bible to the Brethren, as you know, has bcen very near my heart for many ycars. I want you to read to your Lodges when you return that one little paragraph-read it all, but I mean for myself that one special paragraph from the Grand Master's Addrcss re路路 ferring to the increase in the Bible Presentation. Then, too, I want. to have you refer, in your address to the various Lodges, to that part of the report-I hope you will refer to all of it-of the Chairman, Most Worshipful Bro.

Oh! it is God's glorious work, and I believe it is one of the real things that is bringing us together in such unity and harmony and brotherly love. "May I add one more suggestion? The Grand Secretary showed me a letter a few weeks ago which he had received from far-away Peru. The Master of a Lodge had heard of the Bible presentation in this Grand Jurisdiction, and he sent money to obtain a sample copy of the Bible that he might present copies to his Lodge. So you see, Brethren; this God-given work is growing all over the world. "And now, Brethren, hail and farewell!"

The Acting Grand Master makes becoming re'ference to the loss sustained in the death of the late Sir Wm. F. Massey, at the time of his passing, Grand Master of the Grand Lodge. He said: "It is universally admitted that in choosing Brother Massey as our Grand Master we selected one of the most worthy Brethren this Grand Lodge has ever had to preside oyer it-and we have had many able and distinguished Brethren to fill that high position. The keYnote of his life was service. He carried into practice the teachings of our ancient charges. In fact, his zeal for his country alone prevented him from coming long ago into prominence as a Freemason. He was a man willing to accept the responsibilities of office, forgetting the honors-a man devoid of self-seeking; his first care the good of the Empire. Devoted to duty, regardless of self, he spent himself in the service of the country he loved, and

The volume of Proceedings is prefaced with a protrait of the incoming Grand Master, M. W. Brother John E. Cameron, who, we learn, from a brief biographical sketch is "an ardent Methodist, and an untiring worker in the Fraternity." The Grand Master's Address.

From this we learn that the Grand Jurisdiction has not lost a member of the official family by death during the year. We also note the pride with which the Grand Master refers to that worthy institution, the Oxford Orphanage. A new school building is to be called the John Nichols School, recommended as a fitting monument to the fat4er of the Orphange-"Honest John Nichols." Orphans' Friend and Print Shop.

This is what the Grand Master has to say about this commendable enterprise: "I wish to commend fully the increased worth of the 'Orphans' Friend' as a Masonic journal well worth while. Every Mason in North Carolina will be benefitted by reading it. Bro. F. M. Pinnix, the Editor, is to be congratulated upon the strong editorial page which appears each week. His admirable sketch of the Orphanage, published in. the January 'Master Ma>ion' is a fine specimen of the kind of work which trickles from his pen. "The Print Shop is to be commended for the variety and quality of work turned out. The Proceedings this. year were issued several months earlier than usual by good team work between the Grand Secretary's office and the Print Shop. Brother Remsen promised to have the complete Proceedings out in two weeks from the time the last copy was filed, but a complete copy was on my desk in just eight days after the copy was delivered. Much credit is due him and his 'boys' for this scoop."

Masonic Loan Fund.

This Fund, now in its fourth year, amounts to $35,000.00. The Grand Master, in recommending the continuance of the appropriation of $3,000.00 to it, observes: "The 'Orphans' Friend' of September 4, 1925, contained an excellent write-up of this fund. Brother Andrews sent out three hundred copies of this issue, copies going to the four principal officers of each of the forty-nine American Grand Lodges and nine Canadian Grand Lodges. Acknowledgments have been received from more than sixty Brethren in these jurisdictions, the last from the Grand Lodge of the Philippine Islands. Those acknowledgments show the far-reaching effect of what North Carolina Masons are doing in a practical way and how our pioneer work in this field is appreciated and patterned after in other grand jurisdictions. And thus are we advertised by our loving friends."

Anent the Grand Correspondent.

For several years the Grand Lodge of North Carolina had the misfortune of having to omit a Foreign Correspondence Report, owing {o the physical disability of its then. Correspondent. A year or two ago good fortune smiled on them, and Brother J. Ed. Allen loomed up as a Correspondent indeed. Here is what the Grand Master has to say about it: "I wish to express my personal appreciation of the work of Bro. J. Edward Allen, Chairman of our Committee on Foreign Correspondence. He has become nationally recognized as a leader in this coterie of distinguished Masons. His paper read before this Grand Lodge, January 15, 1924, in regard to recognition of Foreign Grand Lodges has become a national standard, and is in wide demand everywhere. He has also worked out statistical tables of much value. These alone would cause him to rank at least as second assistant to the recording angel. Past Grand Master A. B. Andrews has already been appointed first assistant. "Along three lines of endeavor North Carolina Masonry has ,,-chieved national distinction, and we shall do well to remember them: (1) The record made by Brother Allen as Foreign Correspondent, as outlined above; (2) as the pioneer with our Masonic Loan Fund, fostered and promulgated by Past Grand Master A. B. Andrews; (3) the standardizing of our educational work with a â&#x20AC;˘ progressiveness and effectiveness unknown in other grand jurisdictions. This credit is due to the fine work of our Educational Field Secretary, Dr. W. C. Wicker."

Masonic Offenses:

Under this caption, the Grand Master says: "If I

understand words, Masonry has outlawed as members of the Craft all persons engaged in the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors. I refer you to page 94 of the Code, Section 151, Article 6, sub-sections (a) and (b), and' Regulation 213. I have informed Lodges that neither they nor I had any option in the matter, and that any Lodge that failed or refused to take action against any of their members thus engaged that their charters would be arrested. This is the cold finality of the law. "",Vhen one discusses personal habits I realize he is treading on dangerous ground. The Code uses an old-fashioned word in Section 151, Article 6, sub-section (c) when it say: 'Drunkenness is a Masonic offense and Lodges shall be more rigid in their discipline of such offense-' not should but shall. And on page 20, Regulation 39, the law is laid down regardin'g action for this offense during the session of the Grand Lodge, ending with the following declaration: 'A Brother who cannot repress the prompting of his viler appetites should hide himself in the obscurity of home and .not come to Grand Lodge.'

Some are my best friends and I love them. On the other hand many who are not tempted are cold and unfeeling- in their intolerance toward the weakness of the wayward, and know not the joy that sympathy gives the heart of both. Brotherly admonition will give strength and courag-e and confidence to the good in ten tions of him who loves not wisely but too well. You cannot be just or Masonic if you invoke the law before you try to help. A whisner of good counsel in the car may be the due and timely notice of approaching danger, whic路h may materially aid in substantial reformation:"

I n Conclusion.

F路rom all we can gather, the work of the Craft in North Carolina Vl"ospers, and there is not wanting a splendid succession of good men and true, who arc ready to carry forward the best traditions of their predecessors. The Report of the Grand Correspondent fills a separate volume of nearly five hundred pages, and it is replete with much that is of interest. A series of elaborate tables, that -appear at the end of the volume, must have cost much time and labor. The Grand Master brings an admirable address to a close with the following poem: "Let me come home tonight, 0 Lord, From all my work, wi路th some reward, Some recompense for having driven My soul and body, something g-iven To pay me for the weary hours I labored under yonder tow'l's Or walked the furrows in the fields; God grant the night-time something yields To pay a man for all his day, For all the hours he gave away.

And yet his wages, however much, Is never quite enough to touch His weary hands and heart with healing; He must come homeward somehow feeling, However much a man has made, That not with this a man is paid.

Arthur Mather, Grand Chaplain of Missouri. Grand Master's Address. The Grand Master, M. W. Brother Thea. S. Henry delivered a timely and most interesting address in which he dealt splendidly with the various matters in hand. The year has been one of quiet but effective service, and given continued leadership, Masonry has a great future in this great Commonwealth. Excerpts from the Grand Secretary's Report. The following facts will help' materially to an understanding of present conditions in North Dakota, and speak for themselves: "The annual returns of all Lodges save one were received on time. That of Anchor Lodge No. 25 reached us February 23rd accompanied by the fine of .$5.00 for delayed returns. Their returns have been carefully chccl,ed in the Grand Secretary's office and are believed to be correct. The tabulation of these returns shows the smallest net gain in our history as a Grand Lodge. This may be taken as indicating a decided decline in interest in Masonry and some may consider it with serious concern. While we like to grow, numerical gain is not always an indication of strength. The situation, to our way of thinking, is in no way discouraging, and we

1926.]

prophesy a very decided upward turn this year. Por good reasons which will appear to anyone familiar with North Dakota conditions the number raised has fallen off heavily in the last five years; 519 for 1924 as against 1,598 in 1920. Deaths and suspensions have correspondingly increased. The first will continue to increase, though we look for a decided decrease in the second. In the years immediately following the World War, we were overwhelmed with Degree work. More recently some of our membership have scattered widely and have. lost touch with their Lodges and so have been suspended. The chances are in favor of a return of some of these, but we are convinced that many who came into Masonry on the wave of war enthusiasm will not find in Masonry just what they expected for Masonry will not appeal to one who is not looking for something of permanent spiritual uplift. We look upon the present situation with decided equanimity, for we are certain that along lines of Masonic Education, Relief and Service, there has been the most gratifying and worthwhile advance. vVhen there has been leadership in Lodges and Districts there Masonry is making tremendous progress in a soundly constructive way. We believe that the Masonic atmosphere of North Dakota is fine; it is life giving. If we will but give to our Lodges and their leaders the same enthusiastic support which we give to Rotary and Kiwanis, etc., what a transformation will take place. In a brief analysis of our 1924 returns, we find that fifty-nine Lodges show an increase in membership. fifty-three a decrease and fifteen have just held even. Generally speaking neither the gain nor loss has been great. "Twenty-one Lodges did not raise a Master Mason during 1924. We now have fifty Lodges with a membership of over one hundred, Mott Lodge No. 96 being added this year with a membership of one hundred and five. Hillside No. 117, at Marmarth, with ninety-eight members, will doubtless be added in another year. There is no change in the list of Lodges numbering two hundred or more. Of these there are thirteen. These Lodges, located in the larger towns and cities have shown a gain with three exceptions, Shiloh No. 1 of Fargo, Valley City.No. 7 and Minnewaukan No. 21 at Devils Lake."

Some Observations.

It was the writer's privilege to attend the Grand Lodge of North Dakota at the session under review, and he can testify to the cordiality and warmth of his reception and the courtesies which he received from these large-hearted brethren. Not only from the "dignitaries," but from many brethren in the rank and file, was he "inundated" with these, and the memory of that visit will long abide. The leadership of the ,Grand Lodge is in able and experienced hands. ~ M. W. Brother Stockwell is a Brother of great resource路 fulness, and is marked for yet greater servic'e in the future. Many other names come to mind worthy of more than mere mention, but Brother Stockwell stands well to the front of them 2-11.-

Held at Columbus, Ohio, October 21, 22, 1925. 569 Lodges were represented, 465 by the Worshipful Masters, 50 by the Senior Wardens, 12 by the Junior Wardens, and 42 by proxies. Address of the Grand Master.

M. W. Brother Ruhl presented avery interesting address, containing much that we would like to quote. The address is unusual fmm one standpoint, in that it contains a paragraph which records a sad event. In connection with the Grand Master's visit to the meeting of the _George Washington Memorial, and while participating in the placing of the customary wreath on the casket of the Father of our Country, Mrs. Ruhl was taken suddenly ill, and, despite every attention, passed away while in .the precincts of the vault itself. Calling attention to this, the Grand Master says: "Your Grand Master now路 craves your pardon and brings to your attention a matter outside of the subject, but connected therewith, for "Out of the fullness of the heart doth the mouth s'pe~k." Just as the last sentence of the eulogy was spoken, Mary Williams Ruhl, wife of, the Grand Master, who had been brought from Washington to the gates of Mt. Vernon, and accompanied her husband to the tomb, and while standing with and in care of the Gra~d Master of Virginia, was instantly called to "life and light eternal." She had been suffering for some time from that dread disease, angina pectoris, and though two physicians present, Brethren of the Craft, did' all within their power, yet it was without avail. She was born at Smethport, Pennsylvania, on October 8, 1872, and was a helpful, affectionate and dut'iful wife for nearly thirty'-one years. She was ardent in behalf of Masonry, and was at all times an encouragement to your Grand Master in every Masonic endeavor from the time he was raised to the sublime degree of Master Mason to her demise. Much of your Grand Master's success, both in and out of Masonry, may be ascribed to her earnest

and sincere co-operation and her loving, helpful thoughtfulness. In her taking away hl:\.s come to your路 Grand Master his greatest sorrow-and yet he bows in humble submission to Him who doeth all things well."

We first heard of this sad' occurrence from our own esteemed Grand Secretary, M. W. Brother Frank R. Jesse, who, with Mrs. Jesse, formed a part of the assemblage, and were nearest to Mrs. Ruhl when she was stricken. Needless to say, they rendered eve,ry assistance possible, but, alas, without avail. District Lecturers. THe Grand Master reports having had two conferences with his District Lecturers, at which matters of first importance were discussed, and some pertinent instruction given. Lodges which had permitted the De Molays to meet in their halls, contrary to their' law, were warned to cease from this; and letters were sent to the Lodges, calling attention to these infractions, and informing the Brethren that further violations would form cause for arrest of their charters. Then and Now.

One. paragraph in the Grand Master's Address is of especial interest in that it accords so fully with what our own Grand Master, M. W. Brother Martin, has been preaching to the Craft in Missouri during his year of office: "A century ago it was a reproach in Ohio, in the public mind, to be a Mason. Today it is an honor and a distinction, Why the change of opinion? It can not be on account of our so-called secrets. They arc the same as always-two great classes: The means of identification and the met'hod by which are taught certain great and outstanding lessons. The world knows nothing 'more of them today than heretofore, but the world does know from our everyday lives, our daily conduct, certain Masonic tenets or criteria: "It knows that on every Masonic Altar there is found the open Bible, that we believe in the God therein' revealed, and that we are loyal in our belief in Him, devotion to Him and our adoration for Him. "It knows that we are filled with love of country and devotion to the flag of our nation; that while it is not given to all men to bear arms in the nation's defense, yet no organization is mor.e loyal in that. regard-but that every true Mason cherishes his country's flag with a. devoted love in his every-day life, when acting under Masonic tenets, is obedient to his country's laws-national, state and municipal, and that in our loyalty to our country we have fully demonstrated. "It knows that we are loyal to our eighbor, and that our neighbor is everyone with whom we come in contact-not the

Mason only, but all mankind. That we do behave when true to Masonry, toward our neighbor in the manner of the example of' Him of whom it is said, 'He went about doing good,' and that we pride ourselves on our good thoughts, good feelings, and good acts toward all men. "It knows further that when under the infiuence of our Fraternity, we are true to ourselves-and that in our walks among men we concur with the Doet-'To thine own self be true, and it must follow as the night the day that thou can'st not then be false to any man.' "These are the criteria by which the world has come to know Masons, and learned it not from secrets exposed, but from the exemplification of our principles in the daily lives of our Brethren. The good opinion of mankind has brought our great prosperity, and I am happy to say that I believe that it has been deserved. So long as we exemplify these four great fundamental principles in our daily lives, we shall not only deserve success and prosperity, but I fully believe, in all sincerity, it will be, under such conditions accorded to us."

Fraternal Relations.

The Grand Lodge refused re~ognition to the schismatic Grand Lodge Valle de Mexico. She recognizes the York Grand Lodge, however. Masonic Service Associatio,n.

Ohio has never joined this Association. A Committee was appointed, however, at tliis session, whose duty is to investigate the organization and program of the Association and report next year. From the Jurisprudence Committee. We note a matter of greatest importance in this report. Committee says:

"Those of us who are near to the actual organization of Masonic bodies find the most difficult of all tasks the procuring of the services of men highly qualified to carryon its work, and' we should at all times exercise great care not to create a spirit in any of our Masonic organizations which would prevent higply qualified members from rendering to Freemasonry the aid, support and guidance which it needs."

Foreign Correspondence.

Our good Brother, O. P. Sperra, again presents the Report on Correspondence, reviewing sixty-six Jurisdictions in masterly style. Missouri receives cordial treatment, and much that our Grand Master McIntyre said and did receives hearty commendation. Thanks.

Opening.

The Grand Master said: "Now Brethren, we have already opened the Grand Lodge. We slipped in here in order to save time and opened the Grand Lodge with a few of the Brethren presen't, and the Lodge being already opened, all that was necessary was for you to be vouched for at the door.'''

Grand Master's Address.

This is a lengthy document, presenting many details, but for the most part burdened with an account of his action in regard to the National Masonic Service Association. The 'Grand Master states that he has' traveled 24,474 miles in the State during the year, and with the exception of a trip made with the Grand Secretary, has driven his own cars, the Grand Lodge paying only for the oil and gas consumed. ~e has visited 304 Lodges, and has .met Brethren in District meetings from a majority of the Lodges in the State, but, as a rule, has confined his visits to the smaller Lodges of the State. Taken altogether, the Grand Master seems to have had a busy year. ' ,

Masonic Service ASSOCiation.

. The Grand Master reports that he attended the Chicago Meeting of the Association, held N6vember 18, 1!9,25, and it would appear, was unfavorably impressed, both with what he saw and what he heard. At any rate, upon his return to Oklahoma he exercised his prerogative as Grand Master and promptly notified his Brethren that Oklahoma had withdrawn from membership in the Association. The address contains copies of some correspondenGe relative to the matter, and later in the session, a general discussion of the subject was had.

Judge Eagleton,

Who has for the last few years been so enthusiastically at work in the Masonic Service Work, distinguished himself, under somewhat embarassing circumstances, by placing the main items of the case before the Grand Lodge; and from a careful reading of the. proceedings it is interesting to note that Oklahoma certainly is to be credited with a great deal of zeal and self-sacrifice in its attempt to' put over the program which it enterprised. But-the Grand Lodge, after a long consideration of the matter, decided to withdraw, and so the matter stands. As to the Future.

R. W. Brother Mark Sexon, Senior Grand Warden, submitted a tentative program to take the place of that of the Service AssociatiDn; and this is to be considered during the year, and reo ported on at the next Communication. We shall await the outcome of this with interest. Here and There.

Aside from the discussion above-mentioned, the regular a~足 tivities of the Grand Lodge were carefully reviewed, and progress seems to be the order of the day. As usual the Grand Lodge did not forget its old veterans;, and telegrams were sent to several, including "Father" Morrow, who "in age and feebleness" was confined to his home and unable to attend the sessions. The tedium of the business discussions was relieved at inter"als by Past Grand Masters Freeman and Humphry, both of whom fmlivened the proceedings by singing songs. Brother Freeman was presented with a hat in acknowledgment of the pleasure that it had given, a Brother to hear him sing "The Hat Me Father Wore." Foreign Correspondence.

Brother T. C. Humphry still' continues to furnish the Report on Foreign Correspondence, and, shows no sign whatever of decline. His reviews are very interesting and Missouri receives, as usual, very complimentary treatment. He mentions M. W. BrDther Mitchell in courteous terms, and quotes from his address. Past Grand Masters C. C. Woods and C. H. Briggs al~o come in for compliments. Brother Humphry also consumes about a page in his report with excerpts from our last year's review of his Grand Jurisdiction, which speak for themselves. We tender our respectful t!Ianks to him.

SEVENTY-FIFTH ANNUAL COMMUNICATION. Held at the Multnomah Hotel, Portland, Ore., June 10, 11, 12, 1925. All the Grand Officers, 19 Past Grand Masters, 14 District Deputy Grand Masters, 33 Grand Representatives of Sister JUl" isdictions, a number of distinguished visitDrs, and a large attendance of representatives of constituent Lodges were present Grand Master's Address.

An excellent document containing a succinct resume of the official acts of his year of office. The Grand Master was "exercised" somewhat on account of members of his jurisdiction who reside in some South American Countries desirin& to join temporarily, local Lodges in those countries. Sympathizing with these, and wishful to help them as far as possible, the Grand Master made, a recommendation concerning the matter. The Committee to路 which the recommendation was referred, however, did not endorse it, and the Grand Lodge did not either. The Grand Master commends the work of the Committee on Instruction, and speaks of its value to the Brethren. The Endowment Committee also came in for commendation, and this Grand Lodge is to be congratulated for its splendid Educational policy. Started away back seventy-five years ago, it has become a real work in that jurisdiction. Masonic Home.

This is flourishing, and the Brethren were greatly cheered at this session by a gift from the Sovereign Grand Inspector General of the Scottish Rite of two .thousand dollars with which to start a fund for building an additional cottage. This was further supplemented by a sympathetic speech from the Grand Commander of the Knights Templars of Oregon, and doubtless that body will also co-operate in this work. District Deputy Grand Masters.

These Brethren came in for their share of praise from the Grand Master, who mentions the excellent service Which they

have rendered-oftentimes under very great difficulty, and involving much real sacrifice. George Washington Memorial.

This enterprise is commended again, and the present Session voted to allow the Lodges to assess members at one dollar per, capita towards it, and at the same time voted a sum equal to th'e unpaid per capita so that the work might not be hindered. Necrology.

The report on Necrology is by Grand Chaplain Rev. J. R. N. Bell, who at this session was installed for the forty-ninth time. It is a wonderful report, and worthy of an extended quotation. As a preliminary to its reading, Brother Bell made the following remarks which were received with prolonged applause: "I don't know, I may be able to read it through. It is not very long. You know it is not the Droper thing to make thes~ addresses too long because many times the longevity of speech is passed, forced, and makes the Grand Lodge very tired. (Laughter and applause.) And I don't want to make you tired. "Brethren, should I live to be with you,my next year will be my fiftieth as Grand Chaplain. They say that is the Jubilee year. Now, I have met J - - , J - - and J - - , but I have never met this fellow Jubilee and I will agree I would like to meet him and see what he looks like."

Masonic History.

The Grand Master believes that the preparation of a history of Masonry in Oregon should not be deferred any longer, if for no other reason than the fact that the pioneers are nearly all gone, and if the benefit of the few remaining is to be had, action must be taken. The Granq Lodge authorized the incoming Grand Master to appoint a historian, and appropriated five hundred dollars for research work in this connection. Conclusion.

Concluding his address the Grand Master says: "'With wisdom alike unto. that of our first and most excellent

Grand Master, Solomon, king of Israel, our efficient Grand Secretary has so arranged and ordered the work, that I have been able to give personal attention to all functions requiring a;n occasional Grand Lodg-e. This gives me unbounded satisfaction, because the demands of my public office are most exacting."

address of great force and excellence which received the applause of the Brethren, and the order to have it printed in extenso in the Proceedings. A Splendid Gift.

Through the good offices of R. W. Brother J. S. Roark, the Whitney Company, through Brother Hawkins, presented the Grand Lodge with a deed to 65 acres of splendid land to be used as a camp for the Home children, and it was understood that 4fi acres more were to be forthcoming for the same purpose. Needless to say the Grand Lodge received this gift with be'c.oming gratitude. James F. Robinson.

Who for twenty-eight years was the efficient Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge of Oregon, and who was retired a year or two ago, was at the present session created Grand Secretary Emeritus with a suitable annuity for life. An excerpt from M. W. Brother Robinson's reply will show how much a man can weave himself into the very heart of our Masonic edifice. He said, in part: "Most Worshipful Grand Master and Brethren of the Grand Lodge, "you overwhelm me by this great compliment. I cannot find words t.o express my appreciation of your action. It was entirely unexpected, t.he first intimation I had of "it was when it was read. If I have deserved this for any past service I have rendered this Grand Lodge for twenty-eight successive years I was perfectly satisfied at the time I retired from the office of Grand Secretary. You will excuse me if I make it very short. For over a year and a half I have been under the doctor's care with the advice that I might live twenty-four hours and I might live twent.y-four years. During April, I resigned the position of G~and Secret.ary of the Grand Chapter and Grand Commandery for the reason that owing to my ,advanced age, almost 79 years, and my impaired health I found it necessary to quit all work under the advice of my doctor. I hope to live as long as I can possibly see ahead, thousands of you do, My connection with the Grand Lodge for over thirty years has been most pleasant and agreeable. I have no regret. I did not expect this great compliment that you pay me, and when I was called on by Brother Cheney, my successor-and I congratulate you on being able to retain his valuable services-asking me for my biography that they might publish it in the Grand Commandery Proceedings, I told him, 'There was too much of it; I had forgotten a great deal of it'. I gave him the dates and'the offices that I had filled during the last forty-seven or eight years in the Lodge, Chapter, Commandery, Grand Lodge, Grand Chapter and Grand Commandcry and half a dozen oth~r organizations. Down at the foot of the report Brother Cheney put the ~ecretaryships and recorderships held, and noted the secretaryship of my Lodge held for 21 years, followed it on down through the Grand Lodge, Chapter and Commandery and other organizations. Of course some of these offices were held four or

The Proceedings of the Grand ~odge of Pennsylvania for 1925 are contained in a volume of 540 pages, which for make-up, and arrangement leave nothing to be desired. The familiar frontispiece which adorns the volume-the Masonic Temple in Philadelphia, rem!nds us that this building, wonderful as it is, now fails to meet the needs of the Craft; and the "burning questfon" of the hour in Pennsylvania seems to. be "how best to proceed" to meet this need. We have no doubt, however, but that ere long we shall see a New'Temple,

Whos~ glory shall excel the 路former.. From the Grand Master's ad.dress we learn that when the present Temple was dedicated. in 1873, the entire membership was but 37,546, with sixty-two Lodges located in Philadelphia. Today the membership is over 200,000, and eighty-two Lodges meet in this Temple. We un-derstand that many of the Lodges are entirely too large, and yet, says the Grand Master, "we cannot urge an increase in the number of Lodges unless we have increased facilities in which to house them." The Grand Master further says that "Grand Lodge was never so 'Yell situated financially to provide a new place of meeting, without placing any burden on the Craft!" He hopes that appropriate action will be taken, so that the llew Temple, when finally erected, will, in addition to its increased accommodations,

Memoria~.

Pennsylvania is well to the front in this enterprise, former Lieutenant>:Governor Louis A. :watres being President of the Association, and (he late John Wanamaker was Chairman of the Advisory Board. Their quota of $1.00 per capita is already paid up, and in addition, the Grand Lodge has provided $25,000 in the 1926 budget. This latter amount represents the first of the $25,000 blocks which are to be contributed toward the completion of the enterprise. Grand Masters' Conference.

The Deputy Grand Master attended the Conference of Granu 'Masters held in Chicago, November 17, 1925, and delivered an address on "Jurisdictional Sovereignty." Among other things he told of the invasion of Pennsylvania's territory by the Grand Orient of France, and that brought forth the following: Re the Grand Orient of France. "The Grand Mastrs assembled adopted, by unanimous vote, the following: "Resoh"ed, That the Grand Masters assembled at the Conference of Grand Masters' in the City of Chicago, called with the sanet"ion and' approval of the Grand Master of Illinois, unqualifiedly approve the stand taken in the matter of the invasion of the territory of the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania by the Grand Orient of France, and affirms as a fundamental principle of Freemasonry in the United States that the Grand Lodge in each of the States is and must be supreme and sovereign within its Jurisdiction, and that no interference with the sovereignty of any Grand Lodge can be tolerated by it or receive sanction in any form or manner by any other Grand Lodge, and that the several Grand Lodges in the United States, if any there be, now in fraternal relations with the Grand Orient of France, be urged at once to sever relations with the said Grand Orient, and that the Jurisdictions represented in this Conference respectfully and confidently request those Grand Jurisdictions not represented in the Conference to accept by resolution adopted at the first opportunity, the principles herein set out as fundamental in Freemasonry in these United States. "Resolved Further, That we will in no wise recognize the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite Universal Freemasonry or the Regional Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania, nor anyone connected therewith, holding the said body to' be clandestine. "Resolved Further, That the Secretary of this Conference send to the Grand Secretary of each Grand Lodge in the United States a copy of this paper and of the resolutions adopted, urging upon those Grand Lodges not represented at the Conference to adopt at

the earliest moment possible, resolutions affirming and approving the action of this Conference and declaring the said Regional Grand Lodge of Pennsylva'niaor Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite Universal Freemasonry to be a clandestine body."

Masonic Educationâ&#x20AC;˘

. Pennsylvania is noted, not only among the Grand Jurisdictions of the United States, but abroad, not alone for. its conservatism, ,but also for its financial strength, but, says the Grand Master. "if we were only able to measure our growth in dollars it would not represent a satisfactory development." What is far more important than its financial standing is the fact that there is being developed a desire upon the part of the 'Brethren of the Jurisdiction to learn more of the fundamental teachings and of the history of Freemasonry. The Grand Master says that "it may be said, without fear of contradict.ion that the spirit of Masonry of our Jurisdiction stands out in bold relief as one of growth and development." Corps of Lecturers.

There is a corps of one hundred lecturers, representative members of their professions and .vocation.s, many of them having enviable records of Masonic service; and these are rendering invaluable service to the Grand Lodge in bringing to the Lodges the measure of Masonic truth that will result in increased interest in the Fraternity. T. R. Patton Institution for Boys.

This splendid philanthropy 'for boys is now in operation, and the young men enrolled therein are completing their first year~s work in the Trade School with very satisfactory results. Masonic Homes.

Of course, everybody knows of the wonderful work that is being accomplished in this sphere by the Brethren of Pennsylvania. Bequests continue to be made, and money' continues. to flow in. During this year_ a magnificent chapel is being erected on the "Home'; site for use of the guests. It. is a memorial to the late Past Grand Master John S. Sell, and is to cost $100,000. It is the gift of Brother Sell's widow, who supplements it with an extra $25,000 for furnishing and upkeep. ' . Pennsylvania collects forty dollars from ea~h intending initiate for the "Home Funds", and last year the am{)unt received on this account was $340,020.0(}. According to the estimates of the Finance Committee $250,000.00 is expected from this source during

the coming year. Evidently, those who fear that such a fee at路 tached to the original fee for the degrees is too much, have not much ground for their. doubts----,that is so far as Pennsylvania is concerned. .And we believe this to be true everywhere! Finances.

This Home, costing $250,000.00, the gift of Brother John Smith of Mt. Moriah Lodge No. 155, of Philadelphia, was formally opened with appropriate ceremony on June 4, 1925, fully completed 'and equipped ready for occupancy. This is the largest single gift by any living Master Mason to any Grand Lodge, so far as we are aware. In General.

There are so many things of interest in the volume before us that it becomes a problem which ought to be mentioned and which passed over. The Grand M:aster calls attention to the year 1930, which will be the Bi-Centenary of the Grand Lodge, and we may expect that it will be adequately observed. Foreign Correspondence.

Brother ):'homas F. Penman again furnished this report, and it abounds in good things.' Missouri is reviewed in about four pages and Brother McIntyre's administration is courteously treated. Quotations are made from our Grand Master's address, and his plea for the budget system for Lodges was endorsed. \ Speaking of our correspondepce report, Brother Penman, ill quoting therefrom, says, "In his survey of the Masonic situation the writer has this to say of the Masonic Service Association of the United States, for which, we believe, there is considerable justification." I

"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. \Ve 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 oui great order."

at Montreal having expired, the Grand Master reports that, in spite of the prolonged depression of trade in the Province, mQre than sixty per cent has been paid up, and expresses the opinion that the remainder will come in in due time. This project is an outstanding one and received its in'spiration largely through tne influence of the Rev. Canon Shatford. Grand Chaplain's Address.

R. W. Brother C. Abbott-Smith, District Grand Chaplain, delivered a thoughtful and inspiring address on "Builders of Destiny," which was greatly enjoyed by the Grand Lodge. Grand Secretary's Report.

Among other items of interest is this: "The present controversy in connection with the wisdom of advocating small 01' large Lodges, makes the following figure'S of interest-Quebec has 6 Lodges with 5,0' members 01' under; 17 Lodges with from 51 to 100 members; 34 Lodges with from 101 to '200 members; 8 Lodges with from 201 to 300 members; 10 Lodges with from 301 to 400 " members; 4 Lodges with from 401 to 500 members; 1 Lodge over 500 members: "All the Lodges had one or more initiations with the exception of two Lodges. The largest number of initiations in anyone Lodge was 28, while 59 Lodges showed increases, 20 showed decreases an~ 3 remained stationary. Of the two Lodges having no initiations, one suffered from internal dissension which,' I under. stand, has happily ceased. "An analysis of the growth of our Lodges reveals the fact that 60 per cent of the initiations :were on the Island of Montreal and 40 per cent off the Island, again clearly indicating that the prolonged depression in business has not been seriously reflected in our country districts," The total revenue passing through the Grand Secretary's office was $17,165.70, being the largest amount on record and iIi excess of last year's revenue by more than $660:.00. The reports of the District Deputy Grand Masters reveal healthy progress and the Grand Jurisdiction is in fine condition. Foreign Correspondence.

The report is Brother Chambers thirty-ninth and is, as usual, of great interest. Missouri is included in the' review and kindly mention is made of the visit of M. W. Brother McIntyre as the Grand Master's Special Representative to the Grand Lodge of England, as well as a nice notice of Dr. Joseph Halstead's wonderful career. Brother Chambers commends the report of the Missouri Correspondent in generous terms for which we thank him.

During the year the Grand Master made an extensive tour, visiting Lodges all the way from Maryborough right up ,to Cairns. Since the last Grand Lodge report, 12 new Lodges have been consecrated, and 5 new temples dedicated. New Temple Project.

The project of building a new Masonic Temple in Brisbane has now been definitely settled. Grand Lodge at a Special 'Communication on March 9th, 1925, adopted the recommendation of the Temple Committee. The accepted plan, estimated to cost £ 122,000, was considered to be too large for present requirements, so it was modified to consist of three stories and a basement, estimated to cost, with land and furnishings, £77,000. It is to be financed by a levy of £4, in twenty half-yearly instalments, on all Queensland Freemasons, excepting those in the Districts of North Queensland and Carpentaria, also every Initiate in the whole of Queensland shall pay in addition to- the Initiation Fee the sum of £ 1/1/-. These levies begin in June, 1925. In addition, voluntary subscriptions to the Temple Fund will be received, and every Lodge contributing a sum equal to £2 per member will be entitled to receive a Temple Stone Jewel, to be worn by the Worshipful Master.

He reverses the usual proceedure by making his recommendation before hand, and then proceeding to carry them out. He says that he has been keeping his eyes o'pen during the years that he has been 'advancing to the Grand 'East, and now he is going to put some things into operation.

The outstanding matter of importance in the Grand Lodge of Scotland during the past year was the retirement of R. W. Brother, David Reid, who has served the Grand Lodge for the past twentyfive years as Grand Secretary. Brother Reid's health had been causing his friends some alarm, and the recent bereavements through which he has passed made it necessary for him to ask for release from the arduous duties of the Secretariat. Retirement of the Grand Secretary. The announcement that Brother Reid had placed his resignation with the Grand Master Mason caused general reiret, and record was made of. the high appreciation of his great services to the Craft. In addition to his services as Grand Secretary, Brother Reid held the office of .Grand Treasurer for eleven years. Brother Reid retires, as Grand Secretary Emeritus, on full pay, for life. Feast of St. Andrew. At the Great Feast the Earl of Elgin, in the course of his response to the toast "Grand Office-bearers, Past and Present," made the following reference to the veteran Grand Secretary: "I think we have all felt deeply today the fact that one who has worked long and well and loyally for Grand Lodge has reached. the end of the natural labors of presiding over the room upstairs in Grand Lodge. Vlhatever difficulties we may have had, Brother David Reid has remained loyal to what he conceived to be the best interests of Freemasonry and the Grand Lodge of Scotland. (Applause). During the time that I presided over Grand Lodge, our hearts went olit with feelings of very .deep emotion to the trOUble which he experienced in, first the loss of his wife, and secohdly, the loss 'of the daughter who had been with him in his home for so man;v years. That was a dark cloud which came over his life, but

he str-uggled along bravely and kept路 at his post. I feel, therefore. that in responding to the toast of the Grand Office Bearers, I should say from my position of Grand Master Mason, during the. three years 1921-1924, how much Freemasonry in Scotland owes to the ,loyal way in which he stuck to his duty."

M., presided, and the Grand Master's Address was read by him. We quote the following: "At the foundation of this Grand Lodge in 1884 there. were thirty Lodges; in 1914 there were seventy-seven, an addition of 47 in 30 years. In the last six years 45 Warrants have been granted, showing that Lodges are increasing in numbers almost five times faster than they did in the fIrst thirty years of the Grand Lodge's history. Further, during the last six years the membership of Lodges within this Jurisdiction has increased on the average seven times as fas"t as it did during the first thirty years. This increase is, of co'urse, to some extent due to the growth of the population of the State, but Freemasonry has grown in this State with greater rapidity than the population. While the population of the State has increased 26 per cent in t.en years, the number of Brethren has. increased over 100 per cent. That, Brethren, shows indubitably progression in numbers, but one does not, of course, judge entirely by numbers. Quality as well as quantity is renuisite."

Grand Master's 路Address.

The Grand Master, in a suc'cinct manner sets forth the happenings of the year, and 'congratulates the Grand Lodge on the "peace and harmony" which prevails. He has been in labors abundant, and has enjoyed his many and varying experiences. He repOl ts enthusiastically on the George Washington Memorial, from the meeting of which he has just returned, and he urges South Carolina Masons to be "up and doing" in this worthy cause. Fraternal Relations.

The Committee reports that "various communications were received from foreign Grand Lodges in foreign languages, which, , on being translated, proved to contain nothing that would interest us." The action of the Grand Lodge of New York regarding the Grand Orient of Belgium having been reported to the Committee, it was stated that South Carolina, having never extended fraternal relations to that body, there was nothing for the Committee to do further. The same also applied to the invasion of jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania by the Grand Orient of France. Masonic Relief Fund.

This report is worthy ofa careful perusal. Past Grand Master F. E. Harrison, and his colleagues in this' work, deserve much praise for their splendid work. Read what follows: "The Trustees of the Masonic Relief Fund submit this, their nineteenth annual report. "The Treasurer's report hereto attached, which has been audited and found correct in detail, shows that on November 30th, 1925, the fund amounted to $136,823.21, consisting of $66,823.21 cash in banks, and $25,000.00 Fourth Liberty Bonds, and $45,000.00 Municipal City and School District Bonds, as against $135,177.58 on same date in 1924. This shows an increase amounting to $1,650.63. We have received during the year from the Grand Lodge $28,332.00; from the Grand Royal Arch Chapter of South Carolina, $1,228.39; special contribution from one Lodge $20.00; from refunds three Lodges, $375.42; from premium sale of Bonds $439.93; interest from Ranks and Liberty Bonds $5,933.71, a total of receipts during the twelve months of $36,329.45. We have also sold our Third Liberty Bonds, $25,000.00, and invested the proceeds 'in the above-named School District and other bonds. The last named bonds bear interest at the rate of 6 per cent., payable semi-annually, and $45,000.00 of them cost a premium of $2,515.29. As an investment they net us 572 per cent.

W. Brother G. W.

The Grand Master, In his address alludes to the loss of several distinguished Brethren by d'eath, and deals ma-inly with matters pertaining to the Grand Jurisdiction. The Grand Secretary, In his report says: "Many years ago, Unity Lodge No. 130, conceived Uie idea of presenting a bible, duly inscribed, to every member of the Lodge and to every candidate when he was raised to the sublime degree of Master Mason. A suitable presentation speech was prepared and this was used, unless the 'Vorshipful .Master extemporaneously gave one of his own. Since then several other Lodges of the state have gradually grown into this habit, and it. is spreading to the Grand Lodges throughout the United States. At the last Grand Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of New York a form was adopted with an illuminated enblematic title page. also presentation page in full color with spaces for ~ames and Masonic record of the candidate, signatures of officers, etc., to be bound in a full King James version of the bible. It also includes a Masonic creed, portions of scripture used in the Masonic Ritual and a Masonic emblem stamped in gold ,on the front cover. I am of the opinion that the Grand Secretary should carry these bibles in the supply department. They are size 7 % by 5 inches, and cost about lji3.00 each. I would recommend that a committee of three be appointed to select a bible as standard, and decide upon the inserts for the front pages."

Brother Pettigrew presented the names and Masonic record of nineteen Brethren who had been Masons for fifty years and more, among them being one who was raised in 186.6. Medals were presented to these Brethren. Brother Pettigrew also supplied the Gr,and Lodge with a valuable recapitulation of work or' the Grand Lodge for the fifty year foJ of its history.

Masonic Service Associatio'n.

The fop owing is interesting.

The Grand Master says:

"At the last communication of the Grand Lodge, the Ways and Means Committee recommended that we continue our membership and pay dues in the Masonic Service Association, which amounted to five cents per capita. The Association claims that we owe them several cents per capita on back dues for. 1923 and 1924 and insisted that this be paid. I ruled I had no authority to order these back ducs paid, as the Grand Lodge had underst06d that we wcre to pay three cents per capita for those years, and so this claim has not been paid. In my travels and visitations over the state, and by talking to some of the best informed Masons of the state, I found that the material which the Masonic Service Association was furnishing to the Lodges was not being used in any Lodge of which I have knowledge. This being a fact, I felt that unless there could be some organization formed by which this material could be used in the Lodges, that the Grand Lodge would be paying out practically $2,500 per year from which we were rcceiving no benefit. I believe that the Masonic Scrvice Association is a wonderful organization and could accomplish great good if it were possiblc to wake up the Lodges in some way so as to get thcm to use the educational program that the association promulgates. But with all the facts before me, I did not feel justifiable in permitting this Grand Lodge to continue in the Association until the time of this communication, because if I had done so, the officers of the Association could justly claim that they had made up their 1926 budget, counting Tennessec as a member, so I notified Brother Andrew Randell, or' at least, I had our Grand Secretary do so, 'that Tennessee withdrew from the Association on December 31, 1925. I have no recommendation to make in regard to the association, but will leave it to Brother Randell, the Ways and Means Committee, and you Brethren of the Grand Lodge, as to whethcr or not you continue your membership."

Later in the session we read the following: "A motion that Grand Lodgc join the Masonic Service Association and that the dues bc paid was made and passed, ,,,ithout being referred to the Committee on Ways and Means."

.: To us this was a "most unusual proceeding." George Washington

In the vresent instance it appears that the Grand Master, for reasons over which he had no control, was obliged to spend the first ninety days of his term without the boundaries of . his Jurisdiction, but it is abundantly clear that his Deputy, now M. W. Brother Ed. R. Bryan, did most excellent service in his chief's absence. Texas Masonry has been feeling the effects of the aftermath of the Great War, and troubles within and without have engaged the serious attention of the Grand Master during the year. Six Lodges 'have been relieved of their Charters, and most properly brought to account for infractions, and inveighing against our

usages; and the Grand路 Master calls attention to the seriousness of the situation. What grieved the Grand Master most was that. gre~t harm had been done by solicitors for the Ku Klux Klan who have circulated applications for membership in their society among men who were taking their Masonic Degrees, in most instances iIIliIIlediately after these had been raised. The solicitors have persisted in representing that the Klan was the "next step in. Masonry." It develops that hundreds of Masons have quit the Lodges because of the interference of this Klan propaganda. But the Grand Master has been the man for the hour. In the nine months of his active administration he made over 300 visits to subordinate Lodges, and preached the true Masonic Gospel to the Brethren. These visits, under the circumstances, have been of inestimable value. The Deputy Grand Master.

This Committee pays .deserved tribute to the Grand Master for his courage and devotion, and the manner in which he discharged his duties. In fact, the Committee backs him up in such manner as to leave no doubt that the Grand Lodge thoroughly approved the Grand Master's acts. The Committee points out that: "If a Mason can no longer subscribe to the laws and teachings of Masonry, he should quit the Fraternity, but that as long as he remains a Master Masori, he must observe its laws and landmarks. If he is elected or appointed to an office in his Lodge or in Grand

In another place the Committee says: "If the officers in charge of a Lodge are recreant to their trust,

and disregard Masonic Law and the Ancient Landmarks of the Order, others should be put in their offices to succeed them. Where members of Masonic Lodges have been guilty of Masonic offenses, charges should be preferred and the guilty brought to trial and punished. The Lodges are at all times responsible for the acts and ommissions of their officers, and if they continue:"to uphold them, or have a disregard for law, the charter of such路 offending l . . odges should be arrested.. True Masons will ever uphold the great lofty ideals and teachings of our great Order, so well emphasized .by our beloved Grand Master in his able address." For-eign Cor-respondence.

This report is again from the pen of P. G. M. Bro,ther S. M. Bradley 'and is very interesting. Brother Bradley has been a tower of strength to Texas Masonry for a long time, and the Grand Lodge at the present session has worthily recognized this service. Our good Brother is pensioned for life,路 and with a unanimity which was worthy of the big-hearted Brethren that Texas Masons are. Brother Bradley concludes his report with the following poem which bre'athes the true Masonic Spirit, and was written as a counterpart of the poem entitled "Let Me Live in a House by the Side of the Road, and Be a Friend to Man," and carries out the same beautiful sentiments: Let !lIe Walk With the Crowd in the Road

'Tis only a half truth the poet has sung Of the "house by the side of the way"; Our Master' had neither a house nor a horne, But He walked with the crowd day by day. And I think when I read of the poet's desire, That a house by the road would be good; But service is found in its tenderest form When we walk with the crowd in the road. So, I say, let me walk with the crowd in the road, Let me seek out the burdens that crush, Let me speak a kind word of good cheer to the weak Who are falling behind in the rush. ' There are wounds to be healed, there are breaks we must mend. There's a cup of cold water to give; And the man in the road by the side of his friend Is the man who has learned to live.

Then tell me no more of the house by the road, There is only one place J can liveIt's there with the men. who are toiling along, Who are needing the c,heer I can give. It is pleasant to live in the house by the way And be a friend-as the poet has saidBut the Master is bidding us, "Bear ye their load, For your rest waiteth yonder ahead." I could not remain in the house by the road

And watch as the toilers go on, Their faces beclouded. with pain and with sin, So burdened, their strength nearly gone. I'll go to their side, I'll speak in good cheer: I'll help them to carry their load; And 1'11 smile at the one in the house by the way, As I walk with the crowd in the road. Out there in the road, that goes by the house Where the poet is singing his song, I'll walk and I'll work midst the heat of the day, And I'll help falling brothers alongToo busy to live in the house by the way, Too happy for such an abode. And my heart sings its praise to the Master of alII Who is helping me serve in the road.

Grand Master's Address.

Of this the Committee on Grand Master's Address says: "One could not read the Grand Master's address without noting the scholarly manner of expression in which he reports his actions during the year. It indicates the high type of learned gentleman and Mason who has presided over the affairs of our Grand Jurisdiction the past year. . "The address reveals the serious, conscientious consideration he has given to all matters before him, and his character is revealed and indicated throughout his report. The creditable record of his year's administration is one which- we feel sure will increase in brilliancy as time illuminates our appreciation of the splendid progress of the Craft Lodges under the wise, serious and sympathetic guidance of our universally_ esteemed and loved Grand Master."

Happy the Grand Master who can thus merit the esteem of his colleagues! Visitations.

The Grand Master reports having visited each of the constituent Lodges of his jurisdiction, and says that he greatly enjoyed meeting his Brethren. Grand Master's Conference.

The Grand Master commissioned the Deputy Grand Master to attend this conference which was held in Chicago, he being unable to do so on account of other engagements. The Deputy Grand Master reports this visit, and mentions specifically the resolut'ion adopted' by the conference concerning the invasion of territory by the Grand Orient of France. Brother Goodwin, however, does not say in the proceedings whether the Grand Lodge of Utah acquiesced in the recommendation of the Deputy Grana Master, at least we can find no further reference to it. Masonic Funerals.

The Grand - Master draws attention to the crying need of a good attendance at Masonic funerals, and also to the need of their being properly conducted. Some good things are said in this paragraph. George Washington and Masonic Service Associations.

Both these organizations have loyal supporters in Utah, and the Grand Lodge is responding to its fullest measure. General Conditions.

we have been making for several years past. This is not surprising nor particularly disconcerting -to me. We share in a condition of reaction that prevails more or less over the world and I rather welcome the opportunity it gives. our Lodges to rest from an undue amount of ritualistic work and our members to become acquainted with each .other. After all OUI' institution is a fraternity and Brothers should know each other. In - my visitations througl! the state I find most of the Lodges in healthy condition and doing good work. Some of the Lodges have had little ritualistic work but they have maintained interest and morale by educational work and social affairs. Our membership through the state is of a high order and I have no fears for the future of any of our Lodges." Foreign Correspondence.

Brother Sam H. Goodwin is, of course, the author of this report, and it is good reading. He starts with some observations on "Beginnings" which are interesting, and we are sorry that his space evid,ently precluded his adding some thoughts on "Landmarks." Another year, perhaps, we shall be favored with these. His reviews of the individual Grand Lodges are good, and reveal the true earnestness of the real Mason. We do not al路 ways agree with our good Brother, but we greatly admire him, and trust that he may long live to furnish food for the thoughts of his Brethren. For some reason or other, Missouri does not appear among the reviews. This is a misfortune to us.

W. Brother Charles W. Whitcomb intimated to the Grand Master, during the year, that he must retire at the forthcoming session of the Grand Lodge. He' has given thirty-seven ye~rs of splendid service in this capacity, and the Grand Lodge placed itself on record as to the' value of thos'e services, at the same time. wishing contentment, prosperity and happiness to be his portion for the remainder of his life's journey.

This is strongly commended and Vermont has done splendidly in the matter of a quick response for its dollar per capita. Counting the membership as of two years ago the per capita paid in is 100 per cent. The Brethren, however, will go on with this good work: Masonic Service Association.

A visit from M. W. Brother Andrew Foulds, Jr., Past Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of New Jersey, and an address from him regarding this association was well received, and a resolution prevailed authorizing the Grand Ma路ster to appoint a Committee of Three to investigate the association and report next year. In General.

From what we can see the Grand Lodge has had a year of steady progress, and Masonry is in high esteem in the Green Mountain State. The Grand Secretary, Brother Ross, calls attention to the fact that when he entered upon his duties as such in 1902 the number of Masons in the juri,sdiction was 12,933, while in 1925 the number is 18,682. Reception of Grand Officers.

A Special Committee on Floor Work presented the following ,regulations to govern the reception of Grand Officers in the Lodges: "All active grand officers (exc'ept the M. W. G. M.) and all past grand officers who were elected to office (except Past Grand Masters), should first be received and together, the senior active grand officer leading and other active grand officers in order of rank, followed by past grand officers in order of seniority. When two or more past grand officers of same rank are present, the oldest, in point of time of his election, leads. In the list of active grand officers, the District Deputy Grand Masters rank next after the Grand Junior Warden. "Past Grand Masters of this jurisdiction shoul'd next be rec'eived

and together. Only when Pa8t Grand Masters so request can other active or past grand officers be received with them. In receiving Past Grand Masters, the oldest in point of the time of pis election to office, is senior, and enters nl'st followed by others in like order of seniority. "The M. W. Gr11nd Master of another jurisdiction, or his personal representative, is entitled to be received alone, next after Past Grand Masters of Vermont. If several officers or representatives of another jurisdiction are present they may be received together if the senio'r in rank so desires. "When the M. 'V. Grand. Master, as such, visits a Lodge 01' attends a district meeting or other function, he must be received alone, with full ceremony and last of all officers or guests to be l路eceived. The courtesies must be extended to a District Deputy Grand Master on his official visits to Lodges in his jurisdiction, when not accompanied by the l\{. W. Grand Master, for he is then the personal representative of the M. ""V. G. M., and must be extended to any Brother who is designated by the M. W. Grand Master to act as his personal representative in his absence."

Foreign Correspondence.

The report is from the pen of Archie S. Harriman, and is readable throughout. Sixty-four jurisdictions come under his notice, among which is Missouri. Brother Harriman approves mucll of Grand Master Mcintyre's add,ress, and quotes liberally from it. He mentions our withdrawal from the Masonic Service Association, and notes our Grand Master's mention of the Rev. Jonathan Nye.

think, and as I have said on previous occasions, in my opinion the reasons for so many resigning are that, owing to the ~reat .number of initiatiQns, there is great repetition of the work at the Lodge meetings, and the opportunities for the newly-initiated Brethren being appointed to office seem to be very ref!lote. I am glad to hear that the suggestion that lectures on Masonic History should be given from time to time has been taken up with success. "To !Hovide for the great increase in our numbers during the last year, no les::> than 30 new Lodges were constituted, and five Masonic Temples dedicated at Tatura, Rosedale, Colac, Dandenong and Hopetoun. I have taken the opportunity recently of inspecting some of these very beautiful structures, with their fine architectural proportions, and which are such a happy combination of utility and artistic effect. The Brethren are to be highly commended for their zeal and devotion to the true interests of our institution, and I particularly noticed the care that had been taken in all details in following out. the lines on which we are told the Temple was built, and in the very careful selection of the woods for the panelling and furniture, which contributed so greatly to the harmonious and beautiful appearances of the interiors of the Temples.' The addition of Masonic libraries will mal<e the Temples more compl.ete, though this may seem t.o be a big question when it is remembered there are 155 Temples providing for 240 Lodges besides this, there are 55 Lodges meeting at the Freemasons' Hall, and 116 Lodges which are not yet in po~session of Temples."

The affairs of the Grand Lodge are flouri~hing and the outlook is bright with promise. As in all the Australian Grand Lodges, the influx of members since the w.ar has been very marked, and it is refreshing to note that the officials are alive to the situa路 tion thus created, and are meeting it splendidly.

The portrait which prefaces the volume of Proceedings, and the short biographical sketch indicate a "strong man," and one who could be relied on to do his duty in every respect. His Address corroborates his character. No one but a strong man could have made seventy-three Lodge visits during his year of office in a Grand Jurisdiction of the' size of Washlngton. Yet this is what he did. These visits included five in Southeastern Alaska, and he also found time' to attend the Session of the Grand Lodge of Idaho, and the Meeting of the George Washington Memorial at Alexandria, Va. He reports the Lodges as being in good condition, but he wisely calls attenti'On to the growing habit of spending too much money. He rightly says that a Lodge' ought to live on its dues, and the income from fees ought to be reserved for charitable purposes. He recommended tbat no Lodge should charge less than $9.00 for dues, but the Grand Lodge did not concur. Masonic Research and Educatio,n.

Speaking on this subJect, the Grand Master says that the Committee in charge has accomplished more, with less money, than any other Masonic Educational Committee in the United States. I n Conclusion.

In closing his practical address, the Grand Master says: "Freemasonry is not only an idealistic institution, but it is also a common-sense one. I think that it is the common-sense side we have been neglecting. Idealism may carry us on for awhile by its own momentum, but there must be a basic foundation of common-sense before any idealistic institution can endure.

138

Appendix.

[Oct.

Therefore, let us not forget this fact, and apply the rule of common-sense to the working of our every-day Masonic lives."

The Grand Orator.

W. Brother, Arthur W. Davis, in the course of a fine address, says: "lVIasonry is not a political party. He who seeks to make it take sides in great social or governmental questions is not itsfriend, but its enemy. It seeks to unite men on fundamentals on which all men can stand, and is concerned in the building of manhood and character, and in this manner, influence their actions on all social and political questions. A man, well-grounded in faith,. and well-schooled in Masonic virtues, will learn to view all public questions from the standpoint of morality and right. "Masonry is not a religion for to its precepts the Buddhist, the Mohammedan, the Confucian, the Christian and the Jew may alike subscribe. It is religion, for its foundations are deep and enduring in the Fatherhood of God. It recognizes great truths in . every religion and emphasizes that faith upon which those religions are established. Beyond that fa.ith Masonry. does not and will not go.' To do so would weaken its program and narrow its influence." Foreign Correspondence.

For many years we have been accustomed to read this Report, it having been the work of M. W. Brother Ralph C. McAllaster, whose untimely death on December 23rd, 1924, deprived the "Round Table" of one of its most. conspicuous members. The new Correspondent, P. G. M. Brother Edwin H. Van Patten, tells the story of his introduction as Brother McAlIaster's successor; and, from the report which he has furnished, under short notice, we predict that the Grand Lodge of Washington will have no cause to regret the wisdom of the Grand Master who persuaded Brother Van Patten to undertake the work.

The funds· of the Grand Lodge are in a sound and healthy condition, the various credit balances aggregating more than $280,000. Interesting reference was made to the position of Freemasonry in Italy and the reported attacks upon our Institution in . that land. The Grand Master closed his reference thereto as follows: "As we are not sufficiently well-informed regarding the present day position of the Craft in Italy it would be unwise to offer any criticism, but it furnishes an object lesson to us in Australia as to what would happen to Freemasonry should it meddle with religion and politics."

The Grand Master set before the Grand Lodge the correspondence. which he had conducted with the Grand Lodge of Scotland and the local Provincial Scottish Grand Lodge with a view to bringing about a union of the Constitutions. Unhappily. finality has not been reached as the result of the Grand Master's earnest and able efforts, but he expressed the hope that ultimately his proposals would be found worthy of examination or that some alternative might be suggested to bring the scattered "Masonic" clements in th€ State of Western Australia together. At this time there are 10 Scottish Lodges working under the District Urand Lodge on the Coast, and 10 on the Gold F4elds. There is also one English Lodge at Albany.

On July 1, 1925, the Grand Master sent out a Questionnaire to all of the Lodges .in the Jurisdiction, the replies to which, together with the Grand Master's analysis, show the present standing of the Craft in West Virginia better than any summary which we could possibly make. We excerpt the following: "It revealed that, in numbers, we had passed the 32,500 mark, and our reports as of September 30th establishes our net membership at 32,976. "In respect to the status of members as regards their dues, we find that 6,357 were owIng one year's dues. 1,710, or 5 per cent, were owing two years' dues, while 946, or 3 per cent, owed MORE than two years' dues. The large number owing one year's dues is largely accounted for by the fact that many of our Lodges commence their year with June 1, or July 1, the time at which thc questionnaire was issued. "Reducing this to a closer analysis, it was disclosed that the poorest showing in the collection of dues was confined to about 25 Lodges, of which nine indicated froh1 13 to 27 per cent of their membership owing more than two years' dues, and of course, it is safe to assume that many of these members owed several years' dues. Seven of the Lodges reported not a single member owing any dues. A marvelous showing, and I may say, the indication of a good secretary. Twenty Lodges reported no members owing. more than one year's dues. Also a splendid showing. Approximately sixty Lodges reported a negligible number owing dues beyond the one路 year period. The balance of the' Lodges might be classed as fair to medium in their standing as to dues.

"129 of the Lodges collect dues in advance, the balance during the year or at the end thereof. A few collect quarterly.. "The amount of yearly dues charged by the Lodges, ranged from $2.00 to $15.00 per member. Three Lodges endeavor to maintain themselves on dues of $2.00 per year, four at $2.50, 24 at $3.00, and 30 at $4.00. The average for the entire state is $5.25. "122 Lodges pay the Masonic Home Assessment direct from their Treasury, while 44 collect the assessment in addition to their dues. "10 Lodges were contemplating a change in the amount of their dues.

To give an idea of how things are going we present the following paragraphs from their report: "This Committee was started in 1916 with the expressed aim of promoting the study side of Masonry, and the method has been to offer suggestions that might be beneficial to the average Brother. "Many Grand. Lodges have committees for similar purposes; some of them are promoting the work on a far more pretentious scale than we have been doing in Wisconsin, but it is one of the most important, unsolved problems of our Fraternity to discover an adequate method by which we may bring our Brothers to a fuller comprehension of the importance of study to his intellectual, moral and spiritual life. "Our wonderful ritual is a repository in which are stored treasures of great value. We must first become thoroughly familiar with this ritual as it has been handed down to us, and then give it our most earnest thought and study in an endeavor to obtain the benefits we can surely expect from such a comprehensive sys-

tern of morality. True it is "veiled" and there are indeed "hidden mysteries," but the intellectual, moral and spiritual thought necessary to an analysis of the ritual is路 the very process which is necessary in using the tools and implements of architecture and geometrical symbols to build our. Temple of Character. "That this great Fraternity is not functioning to its capacity is too evident to need discussion. To bring. it to a greater efficiency is the most serious problem which confronts us. It appears to your committee that a more adequate conception of Freemasonry is a starting point for greater efficiency. To spread this better conception it is necessary to have talks by well informed Brethren, and we most earnestly urge Masters of Lodges to have lectures given by Brethren who can inspire a higher 'conception of Freemasonry. Ever Worshipful Master ought to deliver at路 least a few talks each year on the symbolism and philosophy of Freemasonry. He is expected to give the Craft proper instruction. Until every Master really does qualify as being able to expound the symbolism and philosophy of Freemasonry and understands that which he professes to teach, we cannot expect efficiency. <"These are conditions that confront us. It will take time to remedy them. The start, however,' should be immediate. Let us all apply our.selves with greater zeal to the acquirement of a better understanding of the ritual and its meaning, of the symbols and allegories which deal with our higher nature, with the philosophy of Freemasonry based on the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of man. Let us each endeavor ~to read some of the literature of the Fraternity and know something of its history."

Board of Trustees. A Board of Nine Trustees to be known as the Wisconsin Masonic Foundation was formed to properly care for all money and property given to the charitable, educational or philanthropic work of the Grand Lod'ge. Correspondence. Brother Aldro Jenks presents his twenty-eighth report on . Correspondence, which is, as usual, a very interesting document. IIJ. the address of the Grand Master high compliment is paid to this veteran correspondent, he being described as "one of the best correspondents of' the Grand Lodges of the country." We can say in addition to this that Brother Jenks is one of the best in the whole Masoni.c world. In his conclusion Brother Jenks says: "We think of nothing so new or novel as to require especial notice in this place, without it is the growing tendency of several Grand Lodges to act upon matters purely political in their nature, generally concerning school affairs. They have probably done this unwittingly without considering that they were by so d:0ing violat-

ing the time-honored traditions of the Craft. Usually such measures have been recommended for favorable legislative action as the result of sentiment and on the spur of the moment without serious discussion or consideration of the various features of the matter. The tendency is a dangerous one and sho,uld be avoided. We refuse to recognize foreign Grand Lodges that permit the discussion of political questions in their Lodges; why trespass in this behalf ourselves? "The Masonic Service Association seems to be progressing in a kind of cray-fish fashion, several important Grand Jurisdictions having withdrawn from mer,nbership in the past year. If this continues it will soon be so crippled in its finances as to be unable to function longer."

Life Memberships.

This matter has received the careful attention of the Grand Lodge during the year and the Jurisprudence Committee brought in a report which looks to the abolishing of the custom. The following is the text of their findings: "It is the opinion of your committee that there are some wellfounded objections to the practice of granting or issuing life memberships, and that eventually the practice should be apandoned. But your committee is not prepared at this time to present a comprehensive by-law provision upon the subject, and therefore recommend that the matter be left open for further consideration until the next Annual Communication, but that in the meantime the practice of issuing life memberships under by-laws providing therefor be directed by this (}rand Lodge to be discontinued. Provided, however, that the Grand Secretary be authorized and directed in the meantime to place his signature upon the back of any certificate of such a membership heretofore granted or allowed by a Lodge under by-laws permitting the same. "This recommendation may be restated as follows: That for the period between this and the next Annual Communication of this Grand Lodge no further life memberships shall be allowed or granted in any subordinate Lodge; that no by-law therefor be approved dur, ing said period; but that any life membership heretofore granted shall remain in full force and the Secretary may attach the usual certificate with his signature to any receipt for life membership heretofore granted or allowed under a subordinate Lodge by-law permitting it, but not to any certificate in blank, and we recommend the appointment of a committee to investigate the question, to consist of Brother Samuel Corson, P. G. M., Brother W. A. Riner, P. G. M., and Brother Joseph M. Lowndes, Grand Secretary, to report at next Annual Communication."

Foreign Correspondence.

Brother Lowndes is, of course, the author of this splendid report. He reviews fifty-seven jurisdictions among which Missouri is to be found, with kindly words and quotations from our Grand Master's address.

OBSERVA nONS. After a careful and extended perusa} of the Proceedings of more than seventy Grand Lodges of the eighty-eight with which our Grand Lodge is in amity, we note that among the outstanding matters of importance, the following are conspicuous: First, THE PHENOMENAL GROWTH OF THE FRATERNITY during the past decade. A reference table found on page 6 of this report will show that, in the United States, the increase in membership for the whole country for ten years last past is more than eighty per cent; that of the Lodges being about 11 per cent. These figures, in all probability, reveal the main source of most of the present-day problems which confront every Grand Jurisdiction in the Fraternity. The increases for the past year, however, show a decided dimi· nution; and the reports indicate that, in the large majority of Lodges, in the matter 0% degree-conferring, the "sound of the grinding" is much lower-and the suspension lists are much longer.. These facts doubtless account for the desire which prevails. seemingly, everywhere, for a more thorough developJIlent of our EDUCATIONAL WORK; and almost every Grand Lodge has now its own program, with hundreds of splendid men, who are equipped more or less adequately for this work, giving of their time and strength to it. N€ver; it would seem, has there been such universal demand for "Masonic light." TEMPLE BUILDING, is also the order of the day-almost everywhere. In this connection we note the wonderful developments in our Sister Jurisdiction of Indiana. A dozen temples or more have within the last year or two been erected in cities of strategic importance in Indiana, which have. cost in the aggregate some _ three million dollars! Truly a remarkable achievement. In Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Louisiana, Missouri and other important centers of Masonic endeavor, buildings of immense proportions are being erected; involving the expenditure of many millions of dollars; and the same is true of the Jurisdictions beyond the seas. In England, in Australia, and even in Mexico.

Appendix. FOREIGN RELATIONS.

For the first time in a number of years' we have been able to secure some details, meager though they be, concerning Masonry in, Germany. We hope for more information as the days go by, We note, however, that Grand Lodge Committees on Foreign Recognition are car,efully scrutinizing applications that come before them; and in this ,there is great wisdom. Clandestine Lodges still keep making their appearance, here and there, with their attendant embarrassments. NECROLOGY. The reports this year contain an unusually heavy mortality list, many conspicuous names being included therein. We note the passing of three outstanding Grand Secretaries, and no less than six of the most influential members of the "Round Table." Captain ,John M. Collins, of West Virginia; Cornelius Hedges, Jr., of Montana; and Newton R. Parvin, of Iowa, have "slippit awa"; and George W.Atkinson, of' West Virginia; Chas. L. Brockway, of South Dakota; H. A. Chambers, of Tennessee;, John A.-'Ehrhardt ,of Nebraska; Ralph A. McAllister, of Washington; and Silas B. Wright, of Florida-all of them distinguished for their splendid ser'vice as Grand Correspondents, have passed into the "city which hath foundations." / ANENT SOME GREAT MOVEMENTS. The George Washington Memorial at Alexandria, Va., is making

wonderful progress, and the unanimity which is being displayed on the part of the Grand Lodges of the United States in this enterprise is an object lesson to the world. The Masonic Service Association of the United States is not:. so fortunate. Just what the' future will reveal in regard to it is not certain. It would seem never to have commanded the wholehearted co-operation of the Craft, or even of those Jurisdictions which have remained in it. Like other movements, it may have served its purpose in that it has brought to the att~ntion of the Craft certain things which needed emphasis. If so, the time will come when it will give way to some other mov~ment which will take its place in the 'order of the day. The Masoni'c Relief Associatio'n of the United States and Canada still pursues its onward march, and is slowly but surely

gaining the confidence of the Grand Lodges of both countries.

bi-ennial meeting of the Association, held last fall in Chicago, was the best in its history. THE TUBERCULOSIS SANATORIA ASSOCIATION of New Mexico is, perhaps, the most significant movement before the MasoI).ic public, and unless we are very much mistaken, this enterprise will soon capture the imagination of the entire Fraternity. If it succeeds in doing this, we may look for the largest outburst of..Masonic philanthropy that has ever been witnessed in this or any 'other country., IN CONCLUSION we again call attention to ~he Reports of the Fraternal Correspondents of the various Grand Lo'dges, many of them being repositories of much and varied information, such as the studiously inclined delight to feast upon. And in this connection we regret that thfl. limits of our space forbid more extended quotation from them

HISTORICAL. The 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. 109 to be held in the town of St. Genevieve, Territory of Louisiana," in 180708. Otho Strader was its first Master and Dr. Aaron Elliot and Joseph Hertic, Wardens. Later, the Grand Lodge of 'l'ennessee gran ted charters to the follo~ing Lodges in "Missouri Territory": Missouri Lodge No. 12, in St. Louis, October 8, 1816; Joachim Lodge No. 25, at Herculaneum, October 5, 181~, and St. Char~es 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 ByLaws 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, WILLIAM F. JOHNSON, ALGERNON S. HOUSTON. November 26, 1908.

ORDER OF THE EASTERN STAR. The Advisory Board have been active in the past year replenishing furnishings to replace those worn out and at the present time are purchasing the beds, springs, mattresses, dressers, rugs, lockers, chairs and linens needed to complete all rooms in the new buildings obtained from the Jewish Hospital, and while the amount cannot at this time be given, yet it will run into several thousands of dollars for which they have the full thanks of the Board of Directors and appreciation of every Mason in Missouri for their noble work in making the members of the Home family more com路 fortable.

J. H. GUNDLACH, died April 8, 1926. Was a most valuable member of the Board for eight years and was Treasurer of the Board since Bro. H(;mgh's death, July 4, 1920.

was elected a Director at a Full Board Meeting, May 13, 1926, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Bro. J. H. Gundlach, until this meeting, October, 1926, of the Grand Lodge.

BRO. JOHN T. SHORT. Brother Short resigned as Director as of June 1, 1926, and was unanimously elected superintendent to take effect June 1, 1926. Brother Short's term as a Director would have expired at this meeting, October, 1926, of the Grand Lodge.

DORSEY A. JAMISON, died July 12, 1926. Brother Jamison was a director of the Home for twenty-five years and the Attorney of the Board during all the time he was a Director.

In Memoriam. The Directors of the Masonic Home of Missouri place on record this tribute of respect to the memory of their departed friend and brother, one of the most distinguished men and Freemasons of his day. Dorsey Albert Jamison was born not far from the historic town of Murfreesboro, in Rutherford County, Tennessee, "the state of heroes, orators and statesmen," on the 22nd day of November 1853, and died in the same state at Beersheba Springs on Monday, July 12, 1926, in the 73rd year of his age. He was educated at Union University in Murfreesboro, and graduated from the St. Louis Law School of Washington University in June, 1875. He at once began the practice of law in the City of st. Louis. Later, he entered into partnership with Bro. Robert E. C~11ins, under the firm name of Collins and Jamison. When this partnership was dissolved, he formed another, with his 'brother-in-law, Spencer M. Thomas, 路the style of the firm being Jamison and Thomas, and so continued in the active practice of his profession until his death. He was thought by his associates to be a confirmed bachelor, but on January 6, 1892, he was united in marriage to Miss Stella A. Sikes of Franklin, Tennessee, who, with a m.arried daughter, survives him. He was for many years a Deacon in the Second B.aptist Church of st. Louis. Brother Jamison received the three Degrees of Masonry in Occidental Lodge No. 163, which then met at Seventeenth and Market Streets. He was raised January 26,

266

Appendix.

[Oct.

. 1884. At the n~xt annual election he was elected Junior Warden; . in December, 1885, he was elected Senior Warden, and in December, 1886, he was elected Worshipful Master and re-elected in 1887. He was appointed District Lecturer of the St. Louis District by R. W. Bro. Allan McDowell and served in the office from 1888 to 1890, and was then appointed District Deputy Grand Master for that District, serving one year as such. In 1891 Grand Master Ingram appointed him Grand Junior Deacon, he having made his first appearance in Grand Lodge in 1885. In 1892 he was appointed by Grand Master John R. Parson! Grand路 Senior Deacon. He was elected Grand Junior Warden in 1893, Grand Senior Warden in 1894, Deputy Grand Master in 1895, and in 1896 Bro. Jamison was elected Grand Master by the largest vote ever before given anyone for that high office. His administration was a very successful one, and his address to the Grand Lodge in 1896, masterful and suggestive. One of his recommendations was for a Committee on Ritual, to which all proposed changes of the Ritual should be referred. It was adopted and a Ritual Committee appointed. This was one of the wisest steps ever taken by Grand Lodge,. as its successful operation for thirty years will testify. Brother Jamison held a commanding position in Grand Lodge. He was Chairman of the Committee on Appeals and Grievances from 1898 to 1907 when he resigned. He was Chairman of the Committee on' Jurisprudence from 1912 to 1916. These are two of the most important Committees of Grand Lodge, and our Brother filled them with credit to himself and with honor to the Fraternity. Brother Jamison wa~ exalted to the Most 路Sublime. Degree of the Royal Arch in S1. Louis Chapter No.8, March 31, 1886. and s'erved as its High Priest in 1891. He passed the Circle in Hiram 路Council No.1, March 23, 1893. He was Knighted in S1. Louis Commandery No.1 in 1886 and March 26, 1889, affiliated with St. Aldemar Commandery No. 18. He received ,the grades in the Scottish Rite Bodies of St. Louis in May, 1900, and was crowned an Honorary 33d in Washington, D. C., October 19, 1905. He was a Past Patron of Occidental Chapter No. 185, O. E. S. In recent years Bro. Jamison has taken an active interest in the financing and erection of the New York Temple on Lindell Boulevard in this City. He was not only the President of the T~mple Association, but its guiding and controlling spirit, devoting much of his time and talent to the successful carrying on and completion of this magnificent and monumental undertaking/

the building of a massive and imposing structure, which will be for all coming time, perhaps, the joy and pride of all Missouri Freemasons. But for many years our Brother was especially noted and distinguished for hi's connection with and intense interest in this Home. When Bro. B. F. Nelson, a member of the Board, died in 1901 the Board did not fill the vacancy caused by his death, but waited ,until Gr~nd Lo~ge met in the fall, as Bro. Nelson's term expired, at that time. At that Annual Communication and on October 16, 1901 Bro. Jamison was elected a member of this Board, and served as such continuously to the day of his death. At St. Joseph in 1925 he was again elected for the ninth time a Director, thus serving nearly twenty-five years. .And we use the word serving advisedly-for Bro. Jtmison served, not perfunctory, or half-hearted or half-way service, but he served with his whole mind, body and soul. His love for the Home was intense, and his acts and conduct bore witness to his love. Only three directors in the Board's history have served longer than he-Bros. Waggoner, Saunders and Dockery. Seldom was he missed from our meetings. He had well-defined ideas on all questions that came before the Board al}d he had" the courage to stand by and to fight for his convictions. You always knew where Dorsey Jamison stood. He was no waverer or time server. You might not agree with him, but you knew where he stood, and why. He was made Attorney for the Home in 1901, the very first year he was elected a director, and he continued to be ,our advisor and Attorney until his death. He was engaged in the active practice of the law in St. Louis for over fifty years. He had won high rank in his profession. His name was a household w01:d among the Freemasons of St. Louis and the State. He was well known and thoroughly identified with the Masonic Home. And so those men and 'women in whose hearts God had sowed the wish to help, aid and assist in this noble and glorious work, naturally turned to him. We know he has rendered great service to the Home, but we know only in part. We know of contracts and many wills he has written, but as yet we know not all of them, and it may be years' before all that he has done for us will be brought to light. But this, whatever the sum total of the legacies, the gifts and the bequests may in the end come to, is only a part of the service he has rendered. The very first year he was on the Board, 1901, he was appointed on what used to be called the "Home Committee". When the present "House Committee" was organized he was made one of its mem-

bel's. In 1916 he became its Chairman and remained its Chairman until his death. He was appointed a member of the Executive Committee in 1913 and continued a member 路of it until his death. What he has done can all be summed up in the words "He served." He needs no higher encomium than that, for there is none. He has acted well his part. He rests in peace. D. M. WILSON, ARCH A. JOHNSON, SOL E. WAGGONER.路

JEWISH HOSPITAL. On June 7, 1926, the deed to this property was made to the Masonic Home of Missouri. We are)now in full possession of same and. the Committee in charge is having the changes made to fully meet our requirements and the main building will be ready for occupancy by September 15th. The building known as the Nurses' Building, which was of an ordinary construction is being made fire proof and we hope to be ready for occupancy by January 1, 1927. Wben all completed, all needs of the Home will be met for many years to come.

IMPROVEMENTS. By the time this report is made to the M. W. Grand Lodge the main building we obtained from the Jewish Hospital will have been remodeled and completed, relieving the Home of the former congested condition. The rear building which was of an ordinary construction. and by the wisdom of the Directors, instructed the Committee to make the same fire proof. It is well under reconstruction and the Committee reports the same will be completed by the first of the year 1927.

CONCLUSION. \

The past year has been most active in the remodeling of the buildings obtained from the Jewish Hospital so that QY the time this _ report goes before the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge, the congested condition will have been eliminated and ample accommodations can be given those who become members of the Home Family. It'is our hope and wish that every Mason coming to St. Louis will consider it a duty to devote part of his time in visiting the Home and by so doing becomes acquainted with the workings

REPORT OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE. To the Board of Directors of the Masonic Home of Misso.uri:

(

Your Committee on Finance begs leave to make the following report:. Section 3 of Article- VI of our By-laws provides that a majority of the Finance Committee shall at least once a year personally examine and inspect the securities in the control and custody of the Trustees of the EJndowment Fund, and check the same with the Trustees records, and report their findings to the Board of Directors. The securities of the Endowment Fund have been kept for years in boxes in the Safety Deposit VaUlts of the Mississippi Valley Trust Company in the City .of St. Louis. conformity with the By-laws, and its unvaried custom, a majority of the Committee, consisting of M. W. Bro. Tolman W. Cotton and myself, with R. W. Bro. Solomon E. Waggoner, President of the Home Board, and by virtue of that office one of the Trustees of the Endowment Fund and its Chairman, R. W. Bro. Clarence L. Alexander, Secretary of the Board, and R. W. Bro. Henry C. Perkins, a certified Public Accountant, on the 31st day of August, 1926, at 9: 30 a. m., met at the Mississippi Valley Trust Building

[Oct.

and 'personally 路examined, inspected, counted and checked the securities. We found the number. of loans to be ~ 82, ranging in amount from $700.00 the lowest, to $15,000.00 the highest. All of them are evidenced by notes, secured by first deeds of trust on real estate, each deed having with it an abstract or certificate showing title in the borrower. The real estate offered as security is always inspected carefully, and although the By-laws provide that the loan must not exceed 60 per cent of the value of the land, yet it has always been the invariable custom of the trustees never to loan more than 50 per cent of what the land was conservatively worth in 1913. The principal of these loans amounts to $342,175.00. It all bears six. per cent, .except $15,000, the rate of which is five and one-half per cent. . In addition to these real estate loans there is $242,000.00 in United States bonds, the most of them bearing 5 per cent, making a total of $584,175.00. There is also an\. Emporium Realty Company bond, bearing, 6 per cent; the Rice securities amounting to $5,418.00 and the Erdhaus securities $500.00. There was found a balance due the Fund from the First National Bank in St. Louis of. $940.24, thus making the total cash securities $593,033.24. To this' last should be added the estimated value of the Woodson property路 in路 St. Louis, $5,qOO.00, making the grand total of the Endowment Fund $598,033.24. The total amount of interest collected and turned into the General Fund was $27,821.91. We cannot close this report without congratulating the Board and the Masonic Fraternity of Missouri on the admiraple manner in which this large and growing fund has been handled by the Trustees. It has increased to such proportions that financial ability of the highest order is required in its management. To keep such a large amount of money properly invested, and to have it bring in such a high rate of interest and at the same time to know that ites safely invested, requires constant attention and a mind skilled in financial affairs, coupled with discretion and excellent judgment. A conference with the Trust Companies of St. Louis will disclose that as a business proposition no responsible company would undertake to handle this fund for a commission less than 2 or 2% per cent.

REPORT

OF EXECUTIVE COMMITIEE.

Kansas City, Mo., August 24, 1926. Mr. Sot E. Waggone1', Presid~nt, Masonic Home Board, St. Louis, Missouri. Dear Brother Waggoner: There is much that .could be said by the Executive Committee in relation to the various matters which have been before it during the year. Practically every conceivable question which might arise in the management of the affairs of a big business concern

280

Appendix.

[Oct.

has been presented sometime during the year, for solution. All of which required, and were given, most careful and conscientious considerati~n; and, it is tho~ght, disposed of in a manner to the best interest of all concerned. While the different financial transactions have been of greater magnitude, and involved the expenditure of larger 路sums of money than those of any recent, previous year, every contract has been the subject of close scrutiny and no work was authorized until it was evident no better terms were obtainable. To undertake to present in detail the activities and important and perplexing questions presented during the year now drawing to an end, and give its solution and conclusions in connection therewith, would require too much space and time. While 'W8 would be much pleased to acquaint the Masonic Fraternity and members of the Order of the Eastern Star, as well as the citizens generally in this great State, with the wonderful work being accomplished by the Home; still we must not forget that this possibly would be going outside the duties of such a Committee and to some extent, a repetition of your report. We have been much concerned about the affairs of our growing institution and at each meeting have had many questions oE varying importance presented for action. The property to the west of the Home grounds, which was purchased sometime since, was formally delivered into the custody of the Board late in the year. In order to make it more suitable for our purposes, it was necessary to expend a considerable sum of money in partially remodeling the building which had been constructed for hospital purposes. The accomplishment of this required much thought and closl~ attention to details. But, thanks to the sincerity and earnestness of the members of the Board, the Committee, and the loyalty of the advisory members, this work is nearing completion and it is expected that before the Annual Communication of our Grand Lodge in October, the congested condition which has existed for sometime will be relieved and each member of the Home family will be comfortably housed. It !s not neces'sary to state for your information, but it may be interesting to the members of the Fraternity throughout the State to learn that the furniture, rugs, bedding, etc., necessary to equip this addition to our facilities, have been paid for by the Order of the EJastern Star. This never-ceasing enthusiasm and continuing loyalty and

281

devotion to tp.e Home and the members of its family by the advisory members of the Board and representatives of the Eastern Star challenges our greatest admiration. This exclusively charitable, and, in some respects, unique establishment is getting a little stronger grip on us, as well as the public, each year. It is gratifying to know that many of our citizens, some of whom may be路 prospective applicants for admission. into its pleasant environments; others with much of this world's goods and in no way eligible to admission, look on it as the one really great charity in our State. And those who py their kindly consideration for the welfare of their less fortunate neighbors, may justly take pride in the success of their efforts in the interest of the distressed and unhappy. On behalf of the members of the Home. family, both old and young, who have been and still are the beneficiaries of your generosity, \ve say: Thank you, and express the hope that you may never forget what was said of the one who gave even a cup of cold water. Fraternally yours, R. R. KREEGER, Chairman.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT. St. Louis, M1., Aug. 30, 1926.

Sol E. Waggoner, President,. Masonic Home Board, St. Louis, Mo. My Dear Bro. Waggoner: As you may know, I was elected Superintendent of the Masonic - Home of Missouri on the 8th day of April, 1926, active duties as Superintendent to begin as of June 1, 1926. On May 29, 1926, I moved to the Home premises, temporarily occupying rooms in路 the nurses' building of the then Jewish Hospital, and am still so located. Since assuming the duties of Superintendent, my time has been divided between the Masonic Home and the new Masonic Temple Building, as previously agreed upon by the Masonic Home Board and the Masonic Temple Board. My efforts in路 the Masonic Home work to date have been largely in connection with' the building improvements which are. now in progress, such as the remodeling of the old Jewish Hospital, the erection of new covered ways, etc. The routine of the Home affairs has been handled by the aid of the Home's organization,

as previously constituted, to each and all of whom I desire to express my sincere thanks. May I add that our Officers and chief aids are labori,ng in perfect harmony. We are doing our utmost to have the individual members of the Home family contented and happy, Fraternally submitted, JOHN T. SHORT, Superintendent.

REPORT OF THE ADMINISTRATION COMMITIEE. Sol E. Waggoner, P,'esident, Masonic Home of Missouri. Dear Sir and R. W. Brother: In 'the spring your Committee made somewhat of a detailed report to the Board of Directors with recommendations. The report with the recommendations was adopted. Suffice it to say, that the most important recommendations have been incorporated into and made a part of the Revised By-laws of the Home adopted at the Full Board Meeting in July. It will be noted that the office of Superintendent has been revised, to which M. W. Bro. John T. Short, who has resigned from the Board, was unanimously elected. The last fe\V months having been busy times in the Home, caused by the fitting up and making ready for use of 'what will be known as the Annex, being the. Jewish Hospital buildings. It is expected that all of the contemplated improvements will be made, and the buildings occupied before the Annual Communication of Grand Lodge. All those directly concerned in the management of the Home have worked in perfect unison, and we can truly say that the present condition of the Home is not only. satisfactory, but admirable. We would close this report by saying that the Advisory Members of the Board have had their hearts in the work and have assisted us in every way imaginable. Fraternally submitted, DAVID M. WILSON, ROBERT R. KR.EEGER, ARCH A. JOHNSON, Committee.

HOUSE COMMITTEE REPORT. St. Louis, Mo., October 1, 1926. Mr. Sol F. Waggone1', President, Masonic H 0111e of MisSOU1Âˇi. St. Louis, Mo.

â&#x20AC;˘

Dear Sir and Brother: . Your House Committee hands you herewith its report for the Masonic year ending September 30, 1926. This has been a year of unusual activity among both the children and aged members of the Home. The total number of children now in the Home is 128 and the total number of adult persons now in the Home is 226. During the year we have received into the Home 21 children and 53 adults, while during the same period there have gone out from the Home 22 children and 34 adults. The total number of members of the Home now is 354. The Committee has lost two of its members through death during the year: R. W. Bro. John H. Gundlach on April 8, 1926, and M. W. Bro. Dorsey A. Jamison on July 12, 1926. Bro. Jamison had been chairman of this committee for a number of years and both of these Brothers had rendered faithful and efficient services to the Home during the entire time they had served on the Board of Directors. The Christmas Committee, composed of representatives from various Masonic Bodies in the City of S~. Louis, has brought much cheer and comfort to all the members of the Home family by its generous gifts and activities at Chrfstmas time and many other occasions throughout the year. The Advisory Board of the Eastern Star furnished a New Years dinner which was greatly enjoyed, and gave the members of the Home 'family numerous gifts, highly appreciated by each one. They are also furnishing the building obtained from the Jewish Hospital, saving the Masonic Home thousands of dollars, deserving the lasting gratitude of the Masons of Mi'ssouri. The swimming and wading pool, which was constructed in the early summer by Mrs. Rosa Graff, in memory of her brother, M. W. Brother Jacob Lampert, has afforded much pleasure and amusement for the children of the Home throughout the summer months. The improvements being made to the front building purchased from the Jewish Hospital is rapidly nearing completion, and will

284

Append~x.

[Oct.

soon be i'eady for occupancy. This will enable us to care for all . that will apply for admission and give good' accommodations to those who are now in the Home. It will be several months befor:e the rear buildip.g can be changed into a fire proof building. When all the buildings are completed we will have ample room to care for all who may apply. Our duties as a Committee were greatly lightened when M. W. Ero. John T. Short became Superintendent路 of the Home on .June first of this year. The Fraternity is for~unate to now have at the head of the Home so good and efficient a leader as our good president, Bro. Sol E. Waggoner, who' will henceforth be ably assisted by M. W. Bro. Short as Superintendent. Both are deeply interested in the Home and entire co-operation between them has prevailed at all times. The best interests of the children are strictly guarded by their Matron, Sister Wilmoth Waller, while Sister Luella McCue, as Matron of the Old People is always administering to the wants of these dear old folks. Our sinc,ere thanks are extended to the various persons and Masonic and Eastern ~tar Bodies for various and sundry gifts and kindnesses during the year. With more housing space our ever gr0'Ying and happy family will be even more comfortable in the future. The condition of the Home is in every way entirely satisfactory to your Committee. Fraternally submitted, JOSEPH S. McINTYRE, Chairman.

HOSPITAL REPORT. St. Louis, Mo., August 7. St. Louis, Mo., September 1, 1926.

Mr. Sol E. Waggoner, President, Masonic Home of Missouri. Dear Sir and Brother: I herewith submit for your information and consideration a tabulated statement of the cases demanding attention of the medical department of the Masonic Home for the year 'ending September 1, 1926. We have had about the same run of cases this year as usual, most all of them being of a chronic type. I don't recall any acute cases among the old people that terminated fatally. Our most serious acute case was with one of the older girls and had it not

285

Appendix.

1926.]

been for the very prompt assistance of our oculist, Dr. E. P. North, and Dr. Harry Lyman, who operated upon her, she would not be with us now. The number of cases of contagious diseases has been quite in advance of the last few years. This was on account of there being quite an epidemic of" measles and diph. . I theria in the City. We had our share of measles, but not so many cases of diphtheria as I am sure we would have had if we had not taken the precaution of having all our Home children immunized against diphtheria two years ago. Most of the cases we had were with the children who had been admitted since the others were given the immunity treatment. However, they' have all been treated now, so we ought to have no trouble from this source next year. The children who started treatment for dental irregularities three years ago are about all corrected. I think the money spent for. this work was one of the best investments .the Home has ever maq,e. . I want to thank Mrs. Waller, Matron of the children, Mrs. McCue, Matron of the old people, and Miss Hazard, Superintendent of nurses, for tre kind assistance they have given me during the last year. I desire also to thank every member of the medical staff for the assistance given me and all of the nurses who have worked so hard and who have been so loyal to the .Home.

REPORT OF ATTORNEYS. St. Louis, Mo., September 1, 1926. 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 September 1, 1926: First. There are several estates now in the process of administration and awaiting final settlement for determination of the testementary distribution to the Home. For exam.ple, in the estate of Mary E. Clapp, deceased, the year for administration will end in March of next year and at that time the Home sho~ld receive under her will a substantial distribution. There are also a few cases still pending in which the Home is interested. However, as these cases are either awaiting trial or the interest of the Home therein is only remote or contingent, we deem it unnecessary to report them in detail. Second: During the year we advised the Board of Directors and Officers of the Home from time to time in regard to such legal matters as were requested of us, and drafted such legal documents as were requested of us. Third. In pursuance of your request we submit below a form of will which may be used in the event that anyone should desire to rp..ake 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 t~stament, hereby revoking any and all wills and testaments by me heretofore made.

LETTER TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FROM THE MATRON OF THE CHILDREN. Each year my report appears to be the same, and yet to me there are many changes as some go and others come. Our year has not only been a busy one, but we feel a very profitable one for the children. Since our last issue, six of our girls have finished a business course and are holding good pos'itions. Three have finished High SGhool and one has entered Park College. Many of our children have enjoyed a vacation with relatives and those who remained at home have enjoyed the new swimming pool and many pleasant outings. The swimming pool was given to the Home by Mrs. Rosa Graff in memory of her brother, the late M. W. Bro. Jacob Lampert. This gift has been a joy and comfort to the children . throughout the hot summer. Our donations from Lodges, Chapters, Clubs, Job's Daughters and individuals have been 'equal, if not better, than in former years and barrels of apples, boxes of oranges, cases of eggs, bar-

rels of canned fruit and other donations too numerous to mention have found their wa:y to the Home. Our entertainments are becoming so numerous it is impossible to mentiOn each with the proper praise due; however, in behalf of the children I wish -to thank each one who contributed to their pleasure during the year. The O. E. S. through the Advisory Board, have graciously and promptly met the needs of the Home in the way of linens, furniture and carpets. They remembered each member of the Home family at' Christmas time. We are. indeed grateful to the Advisory B0!1rd for their kindness to us through the past year. Our children are enjoying good health, which is due to good wholesome food, regular habits, and the prompt attention of Dr. â&#x20AC;˘ Rice to the slightest ailment. I wish to thank the President and each member of the .Board for their kindness to me, and I trust my efforts in the Home have met the approval of our Heaven~ Father. Fraternally, WILMOTH WALLER, Matron.

LETTER TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FROM THE MATRON OF THE OLD PEOPLE. Another year has passed. Our Old People number 221, women 101 are cared for in the Infirmary, due to crowded conditions. A number have had and others are away on vacations. Some of our old people have passed away and many new ones have come. The general health of the old people is good, due to the careful attention given them by Dr. Rice and staff of nurses. We are getting located in our new Annex, when everyone who is able will have a room. Our old people have been entertained splendidly throughout the year. We wish to thank Pilgrim Lodge, Good Hope Lodge, Cache ÂˇLodge, Past Matrons' and Patrons Club, Masters' and Warden's Club. We wish to thank the 'Christmas Committee for cash donations, watermelon feasts, and shows; also, the Eastern Star Chapters, Job's Daughters and De Molays. 103, men 118.

REPORT OF

A~VISORY

BOARD.

Mr. Sol E. Waggoner) President) Masoni<: Home Board) St.' Louis) Missouri.

August 23, 1926. Dear Sir and Brother: The past year p.as been a full and busy one for the members of the Advisory Board in its work for the Home, and their report is one of thanksgiving for t~e privilege and wherewithal to render generous service in behalf of the O. E. S. of Missouri. In compliance with a resolution' adopted at the last Grand Chapter Session, we have turned over to the Scholarship Fund Committee the sum of $5,067.87, which was the principal with ._ interest accrued since the fund was originated within our Board in the fall of 1922. . The chief object of this fund, when started, was to aid those children of the Masonic Home family who aspire to a higher education than can be attained by going through high school. Next, to help others who have some Eastern star or Masonic relationship which entitles them to a like opportunity. Thus far there has been no application from the Home family. Immediately following the close of our last year's report, we bought fifteen handsome, heavy rugs, for the Home, which was the last of our work for 1925. On New Years Day, we, with the Worthy Grand Matron, Worthy Grand Patron, several other Grand Officers and the memo bel'S of the Masonic Home Board, had dinner at the Home. We .distributed $562.25 in cash to the old and young people besides handkerchiefs and other gifts, and we paid $'279.18 towards the dinner.. In April we purchased bed spreads, sheetings and linens enough to iast / a year, and bought rugs, dressers, chairs, tables, peds, springs, mattresses, pillows and lockers for fifty of the rooms in the Annex. For the four sun porches of the Annex-chairs and tables.

[Oct.

In the Old People's building, seventeen new bedroom rugs,_ and heavy, velvet ones for the upper and lower reception halls. For the Administration building, several rugs, linen covers for the parlor and hall ,furniture, aild a complete new outfit for the Superintendent's room. All this has taken thousands of dollars, which we consider have been well spent. The Chapters throughout the State have responded liberally to the calls for donations, thus making is possible ,for us to do these things; although the contributions have not aggregated as much as last year. We are anxiously awaiting the quarters that are to house the babies under three years of age; the special reception room for the children, and the sewing room for the girls. I ' Plans have been submitted for th~ new O. E. S. Chapel, and as soon as approved by the Grand Chapter, we hope to start building and have it dedicated next year. We are intensely interested in our work with its broadening scope, and appreciate the fact that we are made to feel that we are useful, helpful and congenial factors in this, the greatest enterprise of Missouri Masonry. We sense a keen loss in the death of Brother Gundlach and'" Brother Jamison, and. miss them from the Board meetings. To Brother Short, in his new capacity a~ Superintendent, we wish health, strength, and success, and pledge our hearty support in the interest of his undertakings. Brother Waggoner, whose duties are of the utmost importance in caring for the finances and welfare of the Home, has more to . do than the Fraternity can realize. Sisters Waller and McCue. Matrons, whose perplexities and responsibilities are so varied and trying, have won our' love and confidence, and we trust that they feel free to call upon us if in any way we may be of assistance. We ask the readers of this article to obtain a copy of our annual financial report of the Grand Chapter in October, and then judge of the O. E. S. as co-workers. Fraternally, MRS. ELLA JEAN FLANDERS, Presid'ent, MRS. JOSEPHINE S. ~ISHER, Treasurer, MRS. EDITH V. BADER, Secretary, , O. E. S. Advisory Board.
