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 many interesting items connected with' the various Grand Lodges with which Missouri is in amity. Space prevents more than a brief review of the various Grand Lodges, which we greatly regret. We hope, however, that what is here presented will be of service to the Brethren.

THE LATE GRAND CORRESPONDENT EMERITUS. From the time that Dr. Wood; became Grand 0orrespondent Emeritus, it has been his custom, at our request, to send each year, some words of greeting to the readers of this Report, and especially to those distinguished Brethren who, as Fraternal Correspondents for their respective Grand Lodges, compose the "Grand Round Table." This year the Doctor's message is missing, for in the early dawn of the morning of May 12th, last, he was allured by the Summons of the Supreme Grand Master, bidding him enter into the everlasting rest and refreshment of the Grand Lodge on High. He passed peacefully, full of years and honors, into the City which hath foundations, whose Builder and Maker is God, there to take up the higher labors of the Eternal World. I He was the f~remost of a trio of friends, all of them distingUished Craftsmen, who, for more than twenty-five years, have been our closest companions and counselors. All three have responded to the call of the Almighty, within the space of little more than a year! We confess. to an inexpressible sense of loneliness by reason of their corporeal absence, but we rejoice in the wisdom of the Grand Architect who "had need of them", and has translated them

to higher duties; and we magnify the greatness of our Ancient Fraternity, which so often "becomes the center of union, and the means of conciliating true friendship among persons that must have remained at a pe~petual distance". "Two 'Shall be born the whole wide world apart, And speak with different tongue~, And have no thought each of the other's being-and take no heed: Yet these, o'er unl,nown seas to unknown lands shall cross, Escaping wreck and defying death, and All unconsciously; shape every thought to this one end: That, one day, through the darkness. They should meet, and read life's 'meaning in each other's eyes."

We shall meet him again, "when twilight has become day". A. M.

Dr. Woods was a born poet. His lyre, when struck at the au~ spicious moment, brought forth 路chords that penetrated the depths of human nature. At the Annual Past Grand Masters' Banquet held during the Grand Lodge Session of 1924, he recited the following poem which he had composed for the occasion. It is a lifelike portrait of himself; and was the last, we believe, to come from his scintillating mind. He was then in his eighty-seventh year: "MUSINGS AT EVENTIDE They call me old. but 'tis a jest, For life with me seems at the best; And of the many S0a拢ons past, The one most fruitful was the lase Not childhood. with its painted toys. Nor youth, with its enlarging' joys, Nor middle manhood in its prime, l-Ias been for me a better time. Some friends indeed haVE: left my side, And gone across the chilling tide. To find a home on tila t fair sho I'e, Where tears and partings are no more; They yet are mine-though gone a space; And others come to take their place. So that of friends I have the 'moreThe circle larger than before. -My hands, I find, have weaker g-ro\\ln. Their former tasks are now unknowll; My fingers, erstwhile trained to bring Soft music from the tuneful string, Have long since lost their wonted skill, And no more answer to will. The nerves, benumbed, have faIled in much That once directed sight and touch.

My steps, once quicl, and rhythmic, when ] trod the pave with younger men; HaVe lately more uncertain grown,

And lost the vigor once their own. I risk no more uneven ways, Where thoughtless childhood safely plays: From heights and depths I shrink with dl'â&#x201A;Ź';ll1. And seck the smoothest ]):1.tl1s. to tread. My eyes, which long' havJ served me well, Now strangely fail the tale to tell, By which I found my devious way, 'Through scenes of darkness and of day. But str1nger grows the ini1er light; And Fancy paints a picture bright, When e'er my hope and thought arise To scenes beyond the arching skies. I hp,ar no longer as when young, And thus escape the evil tongue: And scarcf:ly heed the rritic's carp, Or e'en the cynic's spiteful baric Rut in m~' fancy oft I goreet A. f:u-off music, low and sweet; And hear in drea.ms the hvmning high, Of those who sing beyond the sky. I nevel' knew ambition's tl11'a 11 , Though oft I heard the fateful call Which sometimes leads our youth astray; And soothly flatters to betray. My only wish, ""i th hand a nd heart, To play an honest, manly part; And firmly in my lot to stand, Among the yeomen of the land.

So I have never felt the d'ut, That rankles in the wounded heart. Of those who fondly upward stram; And learn. too late, their hopes are I ever felt that it were well. In humble lot. serene to dwell, .Assured that it were safer faT, Than follow some misguiding star.

Thus J have ICl"rned to l'e content '\Vit.h all that Heaven t.o me ÂˇhflS sent. The d"lv was somet.imes dim wit.h tears; The night was often dark with fears; But through it all J ever felt That Life with me had kindly dealt; ,\ nd that" however, Rore my need, The gift was grE'atGr than my meed. And as I near the sunset hour. I bless the more than 'wondrouR power, Which. ever tender. ever "ind.

ON'E HUNDR:IDD AND SIXTH ANNUAL COMMUNICATION. Held at Montgomery, Alabama, November 30, 1926. Distinguished Visitors.

W. Brother Siddons Stollenwerk, Grand High Priest of the Grand Royal Arch Chapter of Alabama; W. Brother Norman Gunn, Grand Master of the Grand Council of Royal and Select Masters of Alabama; W. Brother Robert T. Ward, Grand Commander of the Grand Commandery of Knights Templar of Alabama, and W. Brother Charles A. Moffett, Deputy for Alabama of the Grand Commander of the Supreme Council of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite for the Southern Jurisdiction of the United States of America, were severally introduced to the Grand Lodge by R. W. Brother Joseph' Dixon Matlock, Grand Marshal. The distinguished visitors were accorded a hearty welcome by the GrandMaster and invited to seats in the East. Grand Master's Address.

A.labama is to be congratulated on its present Grand Master, a man who is widely known not only in his own jurisdiction but throughout the Masonic World. His address reflects the highest credit on his Masonic wisdom and judgment. He considers that conditions have become normal again, that the increase in members has been a healthy one, and that the net gain for the year is satisfactory. He asks some pointed questions' as to what is being done to impress upon the new initiates the lessons which our Craft seeks to inculcate. "The chief purpose of Masonry and the chief apology for its existence," he says, "is to take the little stone in its crude and unpolished state and to make of it a stJne llt to go into the erection of that house not made with hands; in other words, its chief end is making men." . He adds that "there is not a place or aspect of human life that is not touched upon and elucidated' arid' beautified by Masonry, if only o~e will labor with sufficient diligeri.~e in search of its hidden lessons."

Relations.

The Grand Orient 'of France having sponsored "a clandestine organization in Pennsylvania, claiming to be Masonic," the- Grand Master recommended that "all fraternal relations between the Grand Lodge of Alabama and the Grand Orient of Fra'rice" be severeq. His recommendation was adopted. It appears that a Brother James S. Vance of Washington, D. C., asked the Grand Master by telegram to "wire immediately collect" his "sentiments" with regard to the Italian Debt Settlement, then about to be acted upon -in .the Senate of the United Stales. The Grand Master replied by letter and in the following terms: "If I as Grand :Master or as a Mason should interfere with the question of the ratification of the Italian debt settlement agreement, it is my opinion that I would violate one of the fundamental policies of Masonry which is to abstain from rnixing in political matters. â&#x20AC;˘ It is purely a political question, notwithstanding the end you desire to accomplish may be commendable in and of itself, but we as Masons, and Masonry as an organization, are not permitted to endeavor to accomplish commendable ends through politiCa.1 methods."

_ During the year, the Grand Master ruled that, "It. is unMal'lonic to mention in advertisements of political meetings that the Speaker is a Mason, or an official of the Grand Lodge." Duties of Grand Master.

Grand Master said that it took him nearly a year to learn 'what in his position as the Chief Executive of the Craft he ought to have known in the beginning of his term. In order to make things easier for those coming after him, he recommended that the Grand Master meet, three times a year, with the Deputy Grand Master, the Grand Warden, the Grand Secretary, and the ,Chairman of the Finance Committee, to discuss in conference with them the business of the Grand Lodge. His recommendation was heartily approved and an appropriation made to meet expenses. Lodge Secretary.

The incompetency or carelessness of many Secretaries of Lodges amaze the Grand Master. How such men can keep intelligent minutes or make an accurate record is a "mystery" to him. He says "they may be, and no doubt are, excellent men and Masons, "but this one of the most important offices in the Longe, should not be committed into the hands of an. incompetent Brother." He also expresses the belief that "the death of many a Lodge is traceable to an incompetent and unsuitable Secretary." The Grand

Among the forty-five official decisions reported by the Grand Master is the following "Our edict No. 293 requires that a Mason in Alabama shall "believe in God, the Creator and Governor of the Universe" and our ritual says that "no Atheist can be made a Mason." 'Therefore, in Alabama, it is a Masonic offense for a Ma'so'n to declare thl;tt he does not believe in Deity. Masonic Home.

The' Masonic Home of Alabama still continues its splendid work. During the year ending October 1, 1926, 368 guests were cared' for of whom twelve were men, sixty-four women, 253 boys and 127 girls~ Fo;eign Correspondence.

The Report on Correspondence is again written by Brother Fred Wall, who we are glad to know has reco'vered from the illness which handicapped him a year ago. Fifty路nine Jurisdictions come under his notice, Missouri being allotted something more than two pages with kindly comment. We appreciate the quotation from our, own report.,

[Oct.

" "Our Grand Lodge has ,reaclwd its majority. On October 12th, 1905, in the City of Calgary, we were duly formed and constituted. Let us for a moment take a retroslJec路.ive view of these years. By the reports of De'cember 31st, 1905, we ,find there were eighteen chartered Lodges, with a membership of 1206. At this date we have. 140 chartered Lodges-six' lodges working under dispensation-one Lodge to whom a dispensation has been but recently granted; and three apj'>lications requesting dispensations, but awaiting further 'i ~1Vestlga tions."

Again he says: /

"The report of the Grand Secretary on membership shows thnt on December 12th, 1925, QUI' numbers totalled 12,672. Not only. has our numerical increase been eminently satisfactory-and in this. particular we are the least concerned-but healthy and vigorous growth has taken place in all lines of Masonic activity. Our meeting' places today, are comfortable, well-furnished rooms, in many cases the property of the subordinate lodges. The ritualistic work is most uniform, our constitution and ceremonials have been carefully revised; our' benevoient fund, invested in Government bonds, has reached the sum of $107,000. '\楼ith all this praiseworthy record, I, as a member of this Grand Lodge since its inception, would be dissatisfied were I not fully convinced that a large' percentage of OUI' membership realize more fully as the fleeting years pass by, our real duties to God, our cou'ntry and to one another." '

,Interes'ting Data.

,The Committee on Grand Master's Address stated that:路 "Although the Grand Master had many pressing duties of his own he still found time to attend everyone of the fifteen district meetings, which we are glad to find are becoming a recognized institution in our Masonic structure."

and: "We are pleased that the Grand Master commends the extension of the library scheme among the lodges, and emphasizes the need of Masonic educatio'n. While it will be some time before we can measure results, yet we do not doubt that in due time the seed thus sa'wn will bring forth abundant returns." C

and further: "We are glad the Grand Master was able to make the our famous Peace River and Grande Prail'ie districts. Masters ca'nendorse 'every sentence of his reference to country and those splendid hospitable brethren who live

long trip to Past Grand that lovely there."

The Committee also stated that: "The Grand Mas:.er's appointment of a committee to study the question of planning for buildings suitable for lodge purposes, is a very' commendable one. The planning, financing and building of M.asonic Temples requires careful investigation and study. The result of the labors of this committee be awaited with interest and should be of great advan tage to the' Craft."

District Deputy Grand Masters.

There are fourteen of these, and each District .comprises from ten to twelve Lodges. Each,D. D. G. M. elects a Secretary,路 and at the Grand Lodge Communications they must give a detailed account of all Lodges under their jurisd!ction and their Secretary must keep a proper record. They examine all Secretary's books to see, that they are properly and neatly kept, ascertain the r,e路 . ,- .ceipts and disbursements, their assets, number of members, and that the work of the Lodges are kept to a high standard. The . Secretary of every Lodge is compelled to keep an aistorical Register of his Lodge. The Grand Secretary.

. ,'Sympathetic reference is made of the Grand Secretary and his splendid services. - It is a matter of regret that his health has been somewhat indifferent for the past six months, but路 hope is expressed that given a well-deserved holiday, he' will soon be restored. ,The Grand Master <?n Retiring,

speaking of the Brethren who had recently died said: "Those sturdy men who sd up the Altar of Freemasonry in this new country were prophetic souls, They were men of faith who huilded better than they I~new, as men of faith always do. They believed in the future, in the growth of large things from small beginnings, ano in the principles of Masonry as the true foundation of society and the fortress of a free lanj.. They knew that the Masonic Lodge is a silent partner in the~ffome, the Church. and the School, toiling on behalf of Law and Order, without which ,neither industry nor art can flourish, and that its -benign influence would help to build this Commonwealth' in strength, wisdom and beauty."

The Grand Master says: "We were met at Nogale~ by a committee representing Grand Master Dworal( and from that moment until we returned to the States we were the recipient of the most extended hospitality, even" our transportation being provided. "Guaymas is a qua'int Spanish town replete with interesting features and a visitaHon to the interior of, Mexico i; a revelation to the visitor and more especially so to us who have lived so long on the border. "The Grand Lodge Pacifico held a three-day session and the masters'and representatives of the subordinate lodges journeyed from the distant points of Sonora, Sinaloa and Culican to be present. "The Grand Se::;sion~'as presided over by their 路Mo'st Esteemed Grand M'aster Fernando Dwora!( and our Grand Lodge officers were officialry received and greeted with a dignity and cordiality which the Latin-speaking races alone possess. "Time will not permit me to ~detail the entertainment that . was afforde'd us but their hospitality knew no bounds and we returned with a full realization that we had cemented a common bond of fraternity .in a common desire to do good unto others. That throug'h personal'contact we came to know and understa'nd that the same spirit that prevails in our own nation is the underlying influence that is restoring peace. 'and prosperity in our sister republic. "I cannot, .pr,aise too highly the moving spirit of Masonry below the border in, the person of Grand Master Fernando Dworak, an intellectual fi:1.~t6r in his community, highly esteemed and loved by all, who'is tlevoting his life work to education and his u'ntiring efforts to Masonry.",

and several other brethren of the "Pacific Grand Lodge of Mexico"; and M. W. Fernando F. Dworak, the Grand Master, delivered a stirring Masonic address, which is published in the Proceedings. He dwelt particularly on the need of cultivating a better understanding between American and Mexican Masons by direct contact and exchange of ideas. He said that there are in Mexico twelve "perfectly regular Grand Lodges . . . all working harmoniously" and worthy of Fraternal recognit on by the Grand Lod~es of the United states and elsewhere; that in December, 1925, a Masonic' Congress was held at Monterey, Mexico, for the purpose of forming a Federation of Mexican Grand Lodges, with the idea of unifying communication, while preserving internal independence; that efforts made to secure the recognition of American Grand Lodges, outside of Arizona, had met with no encouragement, and that letters written to open the way to fraternal communication had not even been accorded the courtesy of a reply. Oration.

A stirring address was given by W. Brother James R. Malott on "Modern Masonry." It is a gem and we wish we could quote it in its entirety. The following excerpts speak for themselves:

"Russia and Italy seem fal' away to us, yet in Russia, Italy, Tennessee and Oregon, we find one point in common. That common element is the attempt to force the opinions, political or religiou:s, of one group of the citizens upon a whole people by law. "Mlsonry has always stood for the protection of the individual against the encroachments of governments and factions. It has never sought to use the law 'as a scheme for social control,' but has elected to work through the individual, knowing that if taught well, its 'truth' would be recognized and voluntarily accepted by all men. That program has been :succes:sful so far, but today the great danger which faces our organization is the urge on the part of some of our members to move faster. This they would do by lining up Masons, as such, in favor of this or that law in order to force our precepts UlJon all classes of people. I sin.cerely hope that this movement will never make any further headway among the Craft. "In the pursuit of our Masonic aims we must bear in mind that the law which may appeal to us as individuals, because is favors our interests must not be unjust to those who do not believe as we do. God's justice, yes, human justice, is not for Masons only; it is for all men. And our Fraternity must teach us that the Golden Rule must apply to laws affecting men's liberties as well as to our individual actions. Let us continue to oppose intolerance, yet remain tolerant ourselves. Our first Masonic lesson teaches how Masonry must and w,ill accomplish its purpose. It is by inspiring its devotees with temperance that they may be tolerant of one another's opinions and beliefs; with fortitUde that they may courageously oppose bigotry and

The Grand Master relates with sadness that the first seven months of, his official term were clouded with what b~came the fatal sickness of his wife who passed away in May, last., This precluded the carrying out of a cherished design on his part for service to the Brethten. He appreciated the many expressions of sympathy received in his hour of sadness. Under the heading "Ideals," he says: "As I c<\,st about for an ideal that would be commensurate with the demand of modern-thinking Masons, my Vision rests upon three constellations, that shine with undiminishing luster in the firmament of the fraternal world, to-wit: George Thornburgh, Charles E. Rosenbaum and Fay Hempstead, all of Arkansas. 'Ve might christen them 'The Fr;aternal Trinity of Arkansas.' "George Thornburgh:,

"Peace to the a;;hc::; of that almost inconquerable immortal George Thornburgh, whose heart was a fountain of brotherly love, whose milld was adorned with a laurel wreath of fraternal k110wledge and who always extended to his Brethren, whether young or old, rich or poor, the glad hand and brotherly grip that was akin to the lion of the tribe of Judah. He it was that wrote and pUblished the authenticated Thornburgh Masonic Monitor for the Masons of this grand jurisdiction; he was also the author of the, Masonic~ Trowel, the leading fraternal newspaper in the State."

of this beautiful system of morality, veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols; his wonderful distinction in thc fraternal world is due to the fact that he has kept his obligations and learned his lessons 'well. Upon the wings of determ!nation he penetrated the vault of mystic arts and with a wonderful mind and an artistic hand he brought into being a wonderful monument, declaring itself in the strength and beauty of the Albert Pikl~ Consistory building, which stands on the COrnel" of Eighth and Scott streets, in the Southern City of Roses." "I<':Q' .H em pstead:

"Forty-five years ago today. this Grand Lodge placed a golden pen with a diamond point in the hand of a finelooking, black-haired, brown-eyed, trustworthy young man, with the authority to write its record, year by year. He has been elected to the same office in this Grand Lodge without opposition, and today he enjoys the honor and distinction of holding the office of Grand Secretary longer than any othcr Grand Secretary of any grand jurisdiction in the world. "~Then he was born in Little Rock, Arkansas, the angels nume'd him Fay Hempstead and began to sing their fraternal anthems at the window I)f his soul. He caught the inspiration from their song, seized the pen of oi)portunity and began to write, and today he bears the title of Poet Laureate of Free Masonry. Though the raven locks of vigorous manhood have been wasl1ed in the white of the passing snows, yet his natural strength has not abated and today he sits before us one of the greatest and most intellectual Masonic athletes in the world."

Tube'rculosis Sanatorium: . The Grand Master say,s that the Children's building and furniture cost approximately $60,000, raised and donated by the Masons- of Arkansas and it is unquestionably one of the best in t.he United States. The building accommodates 38 children and it is constantly filled. It is estimated that there are 1,500 tubercular children in Arkansas and the present accommodation is much too small for the work that needsÂˇ to be done. Oratory.

"Our Committee received from Wm. L. Vail, Grand Commander of the Mexican Supreme Council Scottish Rite Masons, who has been a resident of Mexico for 30 years and is a 33d degree, an account of tfle existing trouble which we believe will be of some interest to you as Masons. "In his opinion. the present religious situation in Mexico was precipitated and made more aeutE; because of the pUblication of pastoral letters sent out by foreign Catholic' priests, in which they attacked a number of laws of the Mexican constitution. These letters were in defiance of the attempt of the Mexican government to put in force certain provisions of their code of laws. which had become a part of their constitution as far back as 1867. "In the year '1917, under the Carranza regime, a number of clauses were added to these laws. For a number of years, or until the latter part of General Diaz' presidency,' the government was very lenient in regal'd to the application of these laws and a number of them fell into disuse. "Under the present government, headed by General Calles, these laws are being forced into effect, and the Catholic church, through its priesthood, violently resented one of its provisions which prohibits religious instructions in primary schools. "This seems to be. the most obnoxious provision of the religious laws in Mexico to the Cat.holic church. The Protestant bodies in Mexico made no objection to the law alld very promptly adapted themselves to the new provisions. "President Calles (so our informer says) is in no way p-ersecuting the church, it is simply putting all the machinery of government at his command to prosecute violators of these laws. General Calles has been a Master Mason for many years, and has been recently elected to receive the Scottish Rite negrees, and it is said this is the reason that the Catholic priests claim persecution. "The present president h~d nothing to do with the making of these laws, but the enforcement of laws and the actual constitution of the country which Presiden t Calles is sworn to defend. "Under the Mexican constitution, all religious sects have \ the same right of worshiping' freely within premises dedicated for religious worship, w9rship in a public procession of a religious nature is prohibited, also the latest provision of the constitution prohibit the exercise as pastor or priest, on the part of any foreigner, this has resulted in the expulsion of several hundred Spanish priests from Mexico. â&#x20AC;˘ "Priests also are not permitted to go on the streets in their clerical garb, and monasteries and convents have been outlawed in f Mexico for the past 60 years, and the Mexican government now' makes no opposition to religious teachings in colleges ann seminaries. "The boycott sent out by the heads of the Catholic churches, which are being dis~ributed generally among _the poor class, one of them reads thus: 'Practice all means to paralyze the economic life of Mexico. take your money from the banks and the national pawnshops. Boycott the government banks of Mexico, do not use the telegraph or the mail to send funds, use the cable, refuse to pay

If we boast of this, shall we forget that there is a corresponding responsibility? Time forbids that I should present to you the world responsibility and opportunity of the Craft, but let me illustrate from our own Masonic jurisdiction, stretching as it does from the Rockies to the sea-l1I Lodges within OUI" boundaries, scattered here, there and everywhere throughout the length and breadth of our jurisdiction-Dawson, White Horse, Atlin, p'rince Rupert, Prince George Cariboo, the Kootenay, the Okanagan, the Valley of the Fraser, the Island -in all these plaees Lodges made up not of perfect men, no, not even of all the good men in the various communities, but, withal. made up of chosen men, men chosen for their character, for the most part good men, 14,000 of them.

ged physical features of our Province--gcms sparkling in the sun. Let not our lustre dim!" "Why do Lodges meet? J;;; it (or the purpose of merely making in a mechanical way Freemasons-of adding to the numeric.al strength of the Craft? Surely not. It is for a far nobler purpose. A rap comes upon the outer door, a stranger seeks admission to our Lodge, his name is given to us and we refer his request to a committee-a committee charged with a great responsibility. No other Committee appointed by the Lodge has so important a duty as the Committce of Enquiry. Into its hands is given the duty of protecting the Lodge and the whole Fraternity. What is it to seek-perfection? No, not that. That were useless. What then? Simply this, to ascertain whether it can find in the heart of the stranger good charactcl' and in his mind a willingness to have his character moulded to richer, better things. The stranger must corne under the tongue of good' report. It will no路t do for the committee to report to the Lodge that it can find nothing against the stranger. This is a day of gambling, a day of taking chances, but this is no place to take a chance. With pains and diligence the committee must search as far afield as occasion may require to learn the truth. Only when it has scarched in most diligent and faithful fashion can it corne to the Lodge with the report which to the Lodge is due. And with all the committee must be fair to the stranger, must remembet' that he is formed of just the same clay as we, subject to all the human frailties and with a heart just as susceptible of wounding as is ours. There must be fairness, but if there is doubt then clearly the benefit of the doubt must be given to the Lodge. The stranger may rap again at a later date but the Lodge for its own sake and for the sake of the Fraternity must 3ee to it that it only accepts a stranger who comes under the tongue of good rcport. The committee, having discharged its duty faithfuIlY,-if the Lodge has confidence that it has done sO,-then the report should not be lightly thrown aside. True it is that we vest in each individual member of the Lodge the prerogative of ;aying whether or not the stranger shall be admitted. No one may question the exercise of that prerogative, and yet, standing before the altar, choosing' as between路 the dark and the white, in the secret place, we should choose without malice and without pettiness and with an eye single to the welfarc of the Craft. The choice of the dark from motives of pettiness or malice, from any improper motive, is the wielding; of the cowardly stiletto of the assas.sin. Brethren, I can onl:<-: say to you, as eminent and illustrious predecessors of mine in this Grand Lodge and Grand Masters throughout the world have said to the Fraternity in years gone by.-the prerogative of the ballot is onc that should be exercised in the utmost good conscience, and, having been exercised, the book is closed. What has been done is not a matter for the street. A li'reemason's tongue should never be loose, and, least of all. should it be loose with regard to the business of the Lodge, and in particular with regard to the exercise of the ballot." History.

He disapproves of the phrase "By order of the 路Wardens" upon a Lodge notice. Upon the death or in the absence of the W. M., the notice should issue "By order of the S. Warden."

Grand Master's Address.

The Proceedings are introduced with a life-like portrait of the Grand Master, M. W. Albert Eugene Boynton, a.nd from the biographical sketch, we find him to be a representative man of affairs. His "Address" bears out this statement. Politics and Masonry.

The Grand Master has

~his

to say:

"There seems to be a tendency on the part of some misguided and over-zealous members of our fraternity-and happily they are few in number-to IOl:;e sight of the scheme of our ancient Institution by trying to inject partisan politics into the Lodges. A few days prior to the State primary election of August 31, a printed slip was given general circulation among the Craft in the city of San Francisco, reading as follows: "Dear Brother: Enclosed herewith is a list of the members of the Craft, to be voted on at the coming primaries, prepared and checked over by - - - Lodge. This list is authentic," and followed by the signature of the Master and the name of his Lodge. It was unfortunate in several respects. In the first place, it wal-; a reflection on the intelligence of the voters to whom it was sent. Secondly, the list did not contain the naml:s of all ,the candidates who ar~ members of the Fraternity and it路 did contain the names of some who are not members. Thirdly, the Master should have known that no Lodge is justified in attempting to advance the interest of any candidate or group of candidates for public office. The Old Charges of 1722 respecting the behavior of Masons have ever been a safe guide, and the injunction that we are 'resolved against all politics, as what never y~t conduced to the welfare of the Lodge, nor ever will,' is a doctrine which must not be infringed. "The duty of a Mason to take an intelligent interest in all affairs relating .to the public weal is, of ~ourse, obviO'us. As a citizen, he should give careful consideration to the titness of a candidate for public office, and this consideration should go to the individual . worth and ability of aspirants for public favor. The circular 'sent out by the Master of the Lodge was a' .plain and unmistakable intimation that none but Masons shOUld be voted for at the primary election, without regard to the competency or moral worth of any candidate, thus rightly, in the minds of non-Masons, placing the Masonic Fraternity in a most unenviable light as being supporters of men' merely because of their affil ialion with our Craft.

"At the time of the issuance of this political propaganda, I was visiting the Lodges in the Hawaiian Islands, but a copy was forwarded to the Deputy Grand Master George L. Jones, at Nevada City, and as Acting Grand Master he promptly telegr"aphed to the offending Master, ordering him to discontinue ,the distribution of the list of candidates seeking office."

The Grand Master calls upon the membership "to resent the efforts of the over-zealous to involve the good name of Masonry "in such unlawful... manner." Suspensions for N. P. D.

The Grand Master calls attention to the fact that more than 9,000 members were lost by suspension for non-payment of dues and sees therein but one reason for the elimination in "that the member desires to definitely withdraw from all Masonic work and interests"; a careful inquiIy ought to be made by the Masters to discover the reason in eabh individual ~ase to make sure that nOon-payment is not due to financial distress or else. Masonic Education.

The Grand Master announces that the Committee on Masonic Education has made splendi~ progress. Twenty printed bulletins on .timely and appropriate subjects have been prepared and sent to more than eleven hundred officers and committeemen in the individual Lodges. Meetin~~have been held in 80% of the Districts. Twenty weekly Sunday Afternoon Services were held and broadcasted over the radio.' ~ub-committees have been organized in about one-third of 'the Lodges: Hawaii.

The Grand Master made the c\}stomary trip to the Lodges in Hawaii, visiting all eight of them and finding the membership a real credit to the Fraternity. 0

The

Foreign Correspondence.

. The Report on Correspondence is the work of Jesse M. Whited and is compiled in his own unique style. In his "Introduction" he says: "The duty of the Chairman of Committee on Correspondence is a pleasant one and the privilege of presenting to. the Grand Lodge the result of his labors is appreciated, In expressing personal opinions we have endeavored to remember: 'Boys flying kites call in their white-winged birds, You cannot do that way when you are flying words. Things that we think will sometimes fall back dead But God Himself can't kill them when th.ey're said'."

He also includes tq.e following quotation from Doctor J. Fort Newton, which outlines what one writer has termed c~uld be the corporate contribution of American Masonry to the world's civilization: "The future of Freemasonry depends on the knowledge that is imparted to the young men of today, because they will assume our duties in the future. I have no criticism to offer against the young people. They are honest and, candid in their actions. I believe in them, and want them to have their own philosophy of life. In this day and time they are subject to much adverse criticism, but they are only doing on the front porch what thefr 'parents did on the back porch. I would suggest that a committee of men, thoroug.llly .familiar with the history of Freemasonry, write a series of lectures to be given every year for the benefit of young men who wish to know the principles on which we conduct our association. It would be the answer to a question that is universally unknown, and it would enable the next 'generation' to know more about Freemasonry and use it to better ends. This method already has been adopted in the State of Massachusetts, and eventually will become unIversal. "There are three things which we must do, one of which I have mentioned as providing for the education of young men in Free-' masonry; Another important ,step is to do our part in. heali9g America of her racial rancour, which is the mother ,of war and yet the 路undertone of jurisdiction in every American community today. There is room for everything in this great free country except bitterness and hatred, and this great issue should not come between us and the .prospects of the greatest civilization ever known. "The last thing 'we can do is to heal America of her religious rancour. We want peace and harmony, where religion is based on religious principles tha.t give religious satisfaction. It was William Penn who said, 'Men who fight about religion have no religion to fight about,' and he was right. We must work together in this fellowship of Freemasonry, considering all it has done and all it can do."

Grand Lodge was fittingly welcomed by the Mayors of the two

Citi~s, each of whom made unusually appropriate addresses. The

Mayor of Fort William said: "We are proud of our City, and hope that during your visit with us you may have the opportunity of learning something of our history. Here it was, in early days, the noble red man skimmed our waters in his birch bark canoe, and here at the mouth of our majestic Kaministiquia, centuries ago, he ba.rtered his pelts for the necessities of life, brought to our s'ho\"es by the adventurous representatives of the great fu\" com p::lI1 ies. Legends of the by-gone days are very dear to our people. O\{ a summer evening as we look out over the dreamy blue of our great inland sea., with its rugged shores crimsoned by the last rays of the setting SUll and we listen to the stories of the Sleeping Giant, the Thunder Eagle and old Mount McKay, we dwell in the memories and the magic of the past, and full expression is given to fancy and imagination. May I wish for you that while you mingle with us you may catch something of the lure and the charm which begets in us a passionate love for our native shores. "You have already seen our eleva ton', and it may be of interest to you to know that our Twin CHie!; boast a larger grain storage callacity than any other port in the world. At the commencement of my address I made reference to the golden west, and when I tell yo.u that in one crop yeal" thel'e passed through our elevators here three hundred and eighty-two million bushels of grain from the western field, you will probably ,better understand the reference. also when I tell you that on different occasions a lake freighter built at our Port Arthur shipyards moved out from our wharves carrying a cargo ..of over 500,000 bushels of wheat or the product of 25,000 acres of land on the basis of 20 bushels路 per acre, you will realize something of our importance as a shipping center."

Burritt, who was a lover of Masonry and devoted member of the Grand Lodge-especially in matters :relating to the Constitution, Concluding he says: l '''You may thinl{ of it as a great Fraternity extending over the four divisions of the globe, with a long and honourable history extending far back into the distant past. A network of ,lodges, grouped, it may be, into indel)endent jurisdictions, but fundamentally one; held together not by any ~tatutory 01' If-gal bond, but by a common standard of membership, a common confession of faith, an allegiance to common ideals and ~ommon PU1'poses. A partnership in a common moral and spiritual capital that is itself imperishable and eternal. A mighty instrument to 1..>reak down the barriers of misunderstanding between l11en, and unite them more closely in the bonds of Brotherhood.

The report on the condition of -Masonry is most interesting, the following paragraphs being exceedingly timely: "In our own land the spirit of Masonry h~rmonizes so closely with our form and tradition of government that it is unthinkable that any serious antagonism should- arise. Masonry itself is an example of the successful working out in practice of all that is best in the constitutional processes to which we have become accustomed. In spirit it recognizes the principle of individual authority and !'esponsibility, and in practice it emphasizes that right in its method of balloting for candidates, in the election of officers, and in the transaction of its general bURiness. It ieaches the meaning of personal responsibility and obligation, a nd provides a means for their exercise in its own internal government. It cultivates the development of a healthy and intelligent self-respect and confidence in the formation of individual opinion. It realizes that the individual is likely to respect the majesty of the law, ~het.her civil or Masonic, in proportion as he respects the majesty of his own position as the maker and administrator of that law. It encourages within well regulated limits that self expression which is the evidence of independence of thought a'nd' of personal liberty. As a result it has always flourished best in those countries where popular or democratic government has existed, and has suffered most where liberty l;as been restricted, where equality has been unknown, and where Fraternity has been discouraged."

Among the many interesting items in the Grand Master's Address OCCur the following: "I feel.... that I would be false to my duty as Grand Master, did I not call the at ten lion of the Craft, to the alarming growth of Masonic Clubs in our midst. It seems to be all th'e rage, especially in the large poulated centers, to organize clubs, some of them with grotesque names, limiting their membership to Masons only. These clubs ar.ebeing organized, no doubt, with good intent, but in most cases are making violept departures from Masonic standards and usages for their amusement and pleasure, such as giving public dances and selling tickets therefor, holding picnics on Sunday, requesting permission to exemplify degrees in their club rooms for practice. The action of these clubs on the public mind is associated with' Freema~\Onry, and blurs the vision of our ideals."

The Grand Lodge endorsed this. The Grand Master is gratifie'<l to report that "the ominous cloud

Missouri is included in the Review with extensive quotations from our Proceedings, and no unfavorable comment. In his "conclusion", Brother Kies says: "A survey of the various Proceedings shows that, like our Grand Master Brown, a large number of Grand Masters have found it necessary to denounce lotteries, raffles, and other forms of gambling. Their Grand Lodges invariably approved and endorsed. Gambling is an obvious but seductive evil. While it is too much to hope for its entire elimination: Lodges and other Masonic Bodies should, as law-abiding organizations, strenuously avoid the least actual or implied' countenance of this violation of law."

Also that: "A growing sentiment among the Fraternity is a feeling that our Grand Lodges have indulged in over-legoislation and, as a result, that some of their regulations hav.e become dead letters. We could point to a few Connecticut regulations which, we strongly suspect, are thus ignored by many Lodgoes. Some Lodges themselves have numerous superfluities in their by-laws, 'handed down from time immemorial,' whereas the latter should contain only the special l)rovisions required for local needs. "So far a's concerns Grand Lodges, the obvious remedy lies in drastic revision and simplification."

Grand Secretary's Report. The Grand路 Secretary congratulated the Craft on its growi:ng prosperity, its gratifying increase in members, its vigor, the enthusiasm with which its ritual labors and social activities are carried On in close conformity to the Landmarks of Freemasonry.. Who, he asks, could have foretold those self-denying valorous Masons, few in number, who in 1859, persecuted by reactionary governments, sustained their Grand Lodge and their Lodges, that Masonry would attain, as it has, wealth, power and vigor in the free and democratic Republic of Cuba: "The Grand Lodge over which Carlos M. Pineiro presides today. rich and strong in numbers, is that same modest Grand Lodge which started under way路 in 1859, pl'esided over by Francisco de Grinan, in the old City of Santiago de Cuba. Uncertain were then its steps, and now they are fir'rL Then they had no other connection with the outside than a vague rumor, and now it has become one of the most competent and serious Ma~iOl1ic organizations."

He reviews with proud ,enthusiasm the rise of Cuban Masonry in the respect of the citizenship of Cuba and the many important public positions filled by distinguished Brethren of the Craft. Incidentally he refers to the initiation of a young employe of the government, which was made memorable by the presence of General Gerardo Machado, President of the Republic of Cuba and an honored member of the Craft. In a short talk the President declared that he and his government were determined to win honor and respect for the government and that he had formed a Commission of Co-operation with the Government, which already has rendered effective service in matters of public and private morality and justice.

At a meeting of Grand Lodge held September 26th, Brother Aurelio Miranda Alvarez requested permission to retire from the offic.e of the Grand Secretary on account of illness and need of rest. His request was acceded to regretfully and he was unanimously elected Honorary Grand Secretary ad vitam. Brother Jose F. Castellanos was elected to fill the vacancy. A reception was held in honor of the retiring Grand Secretary on the evening of November 6th, to which Masons from all parts of the Republic gathered to pay tribute to him who had labored for them so long and diligently. The President of the Republic, who is a past Grand Master of the Graft, personally aided the Committee on Arrangements in this well-merited function. The Masonic service of this veteran extended to more than forty years.

The Grand Master said that the year had brought him in closest touch with the membership of the Jutisdiction. (We note that he visited EVERY Lodge.) He was impressed with the ear, nestness o,f the Brethren and with their desire to do, in practical way, those things which we were taught when we sought admission into Masonry. He says:

"It has been a year in which I have realized more and more that the only real joy in life is found in the service of our fellow men. Masonry offers a field of service which is a challenge to the best that in us lies. In the performance of our duties it should be our high aim to sow well the chain of brotherly love that naught can break it, ever bearing- in remembrance that each link is forged with that greatest of all attributes-charity."

The Grand Master visited the Grand Lodges of New Jersey and Pennsylvania and reported a delightful reception from each.

ComJ!lenting on the condition of 'the membership, the Grand Master says: "While the gain recorded is smaller than that of recent years, this result is due to heavier losses rather than to any considerable decrease in the number of additions to our membership. It is, per- ' haps, natural that these losses should be heavy for a few years to come, as. many of those who were admitted during the Wa)' and Post-War periods have doubtless come to the conclusion that membership in the Masonic Fraternity has not yielded to them the dividends they expected. They petitioned for the Degrees with the mistaken idea that immediate and outstanding benefits would result and, being thus fundamentally in error, they have not been assimilated and are gradually dropping out. "The Lodges are in good condition financially. The ,consolidated returns disclose the fact that the total receipts for the year amounted to $398,38S.64, receipts for the preceding year being $480,702.14. The Lodges have disbursed during 1926 for all purposes, including investments, $291~325.87, compared witoh $368,435.71 for the year 1925, and the total of the cash balances on hand on September 30, 1926, amounted to $107,062.77, which may be compared with $112,266.43 last year, a decrease of $5,203.66. "The combined as~ets of all the Lodges at the end of the yea)' amounted to $857,625.19, against $845,273.01 the year previous, a gain of $12,352.18."

Masonic Education.

The Grand Mastâ&#x201A;Źr holds that the best results will be obtained, not by means of mass meetings where some Brother, however learned he may be, discourses on a particular' Masonic subject, but from the organization of the Brethren into study clubs or other similar organizations which provide individual instruction.

Speaking of this, the Grand Master says that: "Two matters u!)on which the Association is engaged will be of vital interest to the Craft. These are a new Masonic Encyclopedia, with Brother Frederick W. Hamilton, Grand Secretary of Massachusetts, as the Editor-in-Chief, and a survey of Symbolic Masonry throughout the world, for the purpose of finding the facts regarding 'the val'ious Grand Lodges, with special references to their genealogy, history, ritual, government, autonomy and other matters pl'opel' to be considered in relation to the question of extending fraternal I'ecognition."

Board of Relief.

The Grand Master speaks of this organization in the following terms: "Few of us are well informed regarding the activities of our Board of Relief, and this is probably due to the fact that it has been functioning so quietly and efficiently for a considerable period. 'The work that it does is of undoubted benefit to the Fraternity, not only because of the systematic way in which it dispenses aRRistance to sojourning Brethren who find themselves in need of help, but also in its detection and exposure of those who would impose upon the Fraternity. "'Vhile the usual report from the officers of the Board will be SUbmitted to the Grand Lodge, I desire to place on record here an appreciation of the work that is being done by many of the members of the Board, and especially by the President, Brother \Villiam T. Ballard, of Federal Lodge No.1, and the Secretary, Erother William E. Mehn, of Takoma Lodge No. 29. During the past year the work done by Brother Ballard has come particularly under my observation. and I feel that it is due him to make known to the Grand Lodge something regarding the time and attention that he bestows upon this work. It is deserving of our highest commendation."

"Masonic Research is discussed in nearly every report this year, and' with good results, They are discovering where and how to search. About 20 years ago the writer overheard a deputation of Massachusetts women urging a committee of Congress to use its influence to induce the Vatican Museum to divulge its manuscript on the voyages of Columbus and what he really did discover. These women had gotten a look at these pn,pers, but had been refused the privilege of making excerpts. 'Ve also overh~ard a member of that Congressional committee say that while it is desirable, he did not see any way to secure the privilege. It has been proven that Columhus was a Spanish Jew, never wrote a letter in any but the Spanish language, that he discovered the Bahamas and Antilles, but nevelset foot on the continent of North America, and was punished by imprisonment through the influence of the Church; that Norsemen had pr-eceded him 9Y about four centuries in discovering the continent of America. 'Vithin the yea)- Brother Donald McMillan, of the Navn,l Reser've, l]as discovered and rel)Orted Norse buildings erected on the Island of Greenland in the tenth century. This is education, geographic if not Maso11ic. And yet Masons send their childr'en to schools where it is taught that "America was discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1492." A few years ago the College of Cardinals debated Sainting Columhus as the Patron Saint of all America, and 23 of the States of the Union have already made Columbus Day a legal holiday, in aid of the propaganda. And thus the people are being "educated."

Many of them worked night and day until the task was l}ccomplished. This is Masonry at its best. The following letter was received from the Secretary of the Masonic Relief Board at Miami, and ordered spread upon the minutes. It is worthy of a careful perusal: "Miami, Florida, April 11, 1927. Mr. W. P. Webster, Grand Secretary, Grand Lodge of Florida. My Dear Brother Webster: It would be very much amiss on my part if I neglected to convey to the Grand Lodge of Florida and its Most "\Vorshipful Grand Master. our appreciation for the wonderful assistance rendered Southern Florida and the stricken area devastated from our hurricane of September last. Following that awful storm a Relief Committee was established, acting under the general supervision of the Grand Master, Cary B. Fish, this committee being composed of all the Masters of the various Lodges in Miami and suburbs'. In some manner the \>,Titer wa's invited to sit with this committee and was made its chairman with Brother Walter Hearn acting as Secretary. From that day on my' troubles began, actual relief was child's play, but protecting the funds from moochers, fakes and various applicants, was indeed some work. However, I am free to state that to my knowledge not one dollar of this money was given out to cases not deserving. / On a complete survey of the stricken area the amount of damage and cost of same if completely rehabilitated would have rc,quired $300,000.00. To my amazement this our Grand Master started 9ut to secure, and if it was not raised, it/was not because of his efforts, his constant work brought to this fund many thousands of d01lars, and made hundreds of families glad to live, made them warm, dry and gave them food t.o eat. In my connection as Recorder of Mah i Shrine Temple, I came in contact with daily requests for relief, some worthy and others not. I have tried to keep Masonry in my heart, but the various schemes to get money out of me has made me rather hard boiled. I have tried to view each case that came before me in this relief work according to Masonic principles, but at times I was sorely tried. I remember on several occasions the Grand Master was in my office when some applicant would saunter in. One I have in mind, after interviewing the applicant. I had made up my mind not to grant, I turned over this applicant to Brother Fish. He talked with him for a time and told me to fix him up in some manner, right then I saw the bigness of that wonderful man, he had something in his heart that I lacked, that Masonic principle, (!)turity.

hall, o}ir Grand Master requested me to respond when Dr. Taylor's name was called. Dr. James "W~. Taylor had reached the ripe age of !1inety-two, when. on the 15th day of last December, he was called home, transferred from this Lodge to the Celestial Lodge above. For more than sixty years Dr. Taylor had been an honored member of this Gr'and Body. He was Past Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Georgia, had served }loyal Arch Masonry in Georgia as Grand High Priest, and the United States as General Grand High Priest. One year ago many of us were made gad when we learned that on the advice of his physician and due to his physical infirmities he could not meet with us at that time. He v,,'as a valiant soldier in the cause for which the South struggled in the sixties. He belonged to that great profession to which many of us belong, in which he had ministered to the sick and canied relief to the stricken. Dr. Taylor was very near and dear to the children who occupy our Home across the Ocmulgee. For many years he was a member of the Board of Trustees of the Masonic Home, and it was his greatest, his supreme pleasure to meet with this Board and do all within his power to meet the necessities of the Home and contribute comfort and pleasure to those residing there. On many occasions when the Masonic law was brought in question on the rostrum or the floor of this Grand .'Lodge it was the brilliant Taylor, the orator. the spokesman, who rallied to the support of the ancient landmarks of this 'great Order, fought wi_th all the valor and vigor of his manhood to support it."

Doctor Taylor was a great figure in the Masonic world, a man with a unique record, whose memory will long remain fragrant.. Dyin,g N?n-Affiliates.

Speaking of these, the Grand Master makes the following recommendation: "Your Grand Master would recommend that some legislation be . enacted which would grant protection in the cas'e of death to a non-affiliated'Mason who had procured his dim it with the purpose of affiliating with another Lodge, but died before his petition could be acted U11On. A non-affil iated Master Mason, who is acting in g'ood faith, and died, is not only deprived of Masonic funer'al rights, but his dependents have no claim upon the Fraternity, however worthy the Brother may have been. I would recommend that legislation be enacted which would allow an unaffiliated Mason to be in proper Masonic standing during a reasonable period for the presentation of his dimit to another Lodge."

The Grand Lodge of Georgia.

The Grand Master calls attention to the fact that: "The charter of our Grand Lod'ge merely incorporates this Body under the name and style of "The Grand Lodge of Georgia." While the body of the petition for the charter states that it is for incorporation as Freemasons, I would recommend that our charter be so amended as to add t.he words "Free and Accepted Masons" so that this Grand Lodge would be incorporat-ed under the name and

Appendix.

style of "The Grand Lodge of Georgia, Free and Accepted Masons." There are two negro grand lodges in Georgia already, and clandestine bodies are endeavoring to incorporate in several of our sister states. Should any of these apply for and receive a charter with "F. & A. M." or "Free and Accepted Masons" included therein, it would, so I am advised, prevent our use of the suffix. I would !"ecommend that such a change in our charter be prepared and presented to the next General Assembly.

In General.

The Grand Master recommends that efforts be made, wherever possible, to consolidate weak Lodges. The Grand Master approves the suggestion for the erection of a monument to the memory of Past Grand Master Ja'mes W. Taylor. The Grand Master recommends that Lodges be particularly careful to see that tp.e Degrees should be conferred only by one _ of the three principal Officers of the Lodge. The Grand' Master deplores the 'continued use. of keys or exposes by some Lodges. He declares this to be most unMasonic and says that any member offending in this particular should be charged with gross un-Masonic conduct, and tried by his Lodge. ' Life Memberships.

The Grand Master calls particular attention to the fact that it is a violation of the Masonic Code for a subordinate Lodge to grant life memberships to its Past Masters, and says: "This poirit was definitely settled by the Grand Lodge of Georgia路 in 1921 when the Committee on Jurisprudence upheld the findings of the Committee on Appeals and Grievances in the matter of a 'lodge versus its Secretary, the contention being that the Secretary Ilad failed to carr-y out a resolution adopted by the lodge allowing the exemption of Past Masters from dues. As I stated in my decisions above, "a lodge should not donate his dues to any. member who is able to pay the same.';

The Grand Master' refers to this, which is fitting a number of . boys and girls for their future occupation. There have already been instances where boys of t!le Print Shop Staff have taken up the printer's trade in the outside world. In addition 'to the splendid training that is being given by the Print Shop, this department ot the Home is doing splendid work in the printing of the various Proceedings of the Grand Bodies.

Director of Welfare.

A well-deserved compliment, in the following terms was given to M. W. Brother 'Charles L. Bass: "There is no need to express to the Craftsmen of Georgia the love and regard that is held for Most Worshipful Charles L. Bass, Past Grand Master, Director of Masonic Welfare. I The nobility of his character, the sweetness of his life and the. conscientious and enduring work that he is carrying on are too well known to require any official commendation. First of all, we love' 'Charlie' Bass; love him for his worth and his work. Therefore, when you take all of the attributes of Brother Bass and roll them into the one big picture of his heart and hand, the effects of his service are known without the necessity of details. He has touched the heart 'of Georgia Masonry as no other person could. He has brought into the hear,t of every ~an with 'whom he comes in contact the recognition and realiz:ltioll of the principles which make up our Fraternity. J could not have served as Grand Master if it had not been for 'Charlie' Bass."

Masonic Home.

Speaking of this, the Grand Master says: "Naturally, the institution that lies closest to the hearts of Georgia Fre<:masonry, is the Masonic Orphans Home. From the time that the lamented Past Grand Master, Max Meyerhardt, conceived and put into effect this noble idea, this Home has stood as one of our most precious jewels. Its maintenance, upkeep and caring for our children should always stand as one of the most important and vital principles of the Fraternity. The Home now is crowded to its utmost capacity, with 190 guests, while 36 children are being cared for in the homes of their mothers. The operation of the Home has far exceeded lthe appropriation of approximately $37,000.00, its cost of maintenance averaging about $4,500.00 a month. With the exceptions of the appropriation, the interest income on the Masonic Home Endowment Fund and the benevolent contribution of $5.00 from each Entered Apprentice Freemason to the institution, the Home has no other established revenue. When I became Grand Master I stated that as long as I shOUld be Grand Master the. Home should not路 suffer need of financial fuilds, and it has not. Our institution is a matter to which we must give the most careful eonsideration.

Distinguished Service Medal.

The Grand Lodge of Georgia, a few路 years ago, adopted a regulation, whereby, annually, the Grand Master and Past Grand Masters have the right to confer a Distinguished Service Medal upon not exceeding five members' of the Craft, who, their opinion, have rendered distinguished service for the Craft and hU,manity. It requires the unanimous consent of the Grand Master and the Past GrandMasters so to designate a Brother;

For the first time in its history, the Grand Lodge Proceedings and the Report on F{)rei,gn Correspondence are published in sepac rate volumes; The Report is, of course, the work of Brother Raymun,d Daniel, and is commended most highly by the Grand Master. Brother Daniers "Foreword" on the Citizenship of Freemasonry" occupies ten rages and is a very timely pronouncement. ' He is a great Correspondent. Brother Daniel's review of Missouri occupies five pages with copious extracts from our Proceedings of 1925. He compliments us with extensive' excerpts from our own Report and caps the climax with a tender reference to our Irevered Doctor Woods, for which we thank him.

GRAND LODGES OF GERMANY. We herewith present a few items which we have received concerning the Grand 'Lodges of Germany with which Missouri is in amity. For several years, it has been very difficult to obtain information from these Grand Lodges, but it would appear, that from now on we ought to have material which will enable us to 'furnish our readers with 3: more' complete survey of the German Jurisdictions. Eclectic Union.

This Grarid Lodge is located at Frankfort, and was founded March", 1783. It became an independent Grand Lodge in 1823. M. W. LudWig Ries is the present Grand Master and R. W. Erwin Dieppel is the Grand Secretary. There are twenty-five Lodges and 3,400 members in the Jurisdiction. The Grand Orient and the Grand Lodge of France having requested a Co~ference with the Grand Lodges of Germany in order to discuss relations between the two countries, a meeting was arranged and held at Frankfort on February 16, 1927. The Grand Master of the Eclectic Union was the only one present to welcome the officers of the Grand Orient and Grand Lodge of France. After general discussion of the conditions of German Freemasonry, the French representatives declared that the Masons of

1927. ]

their Jurisdiction have forgotten the past and would like to know how Fraternal relations with the German Grand Lodges could be llromoted. The Grand Master of the Eclectic Union proposed the following questions which with - the answers given by the Frencll representatives are here quoted: .

"Question: Does Freemasonry recognize ali rights belonging a free l)eople and thcl'efore also to the German peOl)le, and does it agree that the German people has the right to seek in a peaceful way to attain a revision of the Deace pact of Versailles, in which document the sale guilt for the 'Val' is placed upon Germany? "Answer: As the question is of a purely political natur~, French Masonry has not occu!)ied itself with it. We shall be glad to s\lbmit the question to the COUlicils of our jurisdictions; the answer can be given only by the Annual Assemblies, "Question: Is French Masonry of the opinion'that the occupation of German territory, extended into the future, creates difficulties for an approach with German Freemasons? "Answer: We are laboring daily to bring- about an end 'of the occupation. In well understood interests of our countries, we support the' politics of Briand. "Question: Are the French Grand Lodges prepa,;'ed to furnish proof 'of their fraternal attitude by taking the position that the Masonic property belonging to the former German Lodges in AlsaceLorraine, such as the Library, Archives, Furniture, etc., be returned to the righ tful owners? "Answer: The representatives request a list of these Lodges and t.he desired properties. The two l!'rench Jurisdictions will' do what they can in this matter,"

This action of the Eclectic Union has b~en disapproved by almost all the other German Grand Lodges. One' of these, the Deutsche Bruderkette (Leipzig), cited it as its reason for ~ithdraw足 al from -the Union of German Grand Lodges. The argument is that the Union has been embarrassed by the action, the Eclectic Union being a member of it; that it had been understood right along that all foreign relationships should first ~)e considered by the regular meeting of the' Union, and that no Grand Lodge should follow its own inclination in such important matters; that such procedure would injure the reputation of German Freemasonry and increase the existing dissension; and that the conference held with the official .representatives of the Grand Orient and the Grand Lodge of France, at the invitation of the Edectic Union, without the consent of the other 'Grand Lodges, cifn not be coun tenanced by German Freemasons. That appears to be about the general attitude toward the conference, with the ad'ditional censure that the move wiII be regarded as essentially of a political nature and therefore contrary to the root principles of German Freemasonry.

Saxony.

This Grand Lodge meets at Dresden and has 42 Lodges under its Jurisdiction with 7,230 members. On January 15, 1927, the Grand Lodge decided to hold annual general meetings in which an the Lodges of the Jurisdiction may participate. . M. W. G. Anders is the Grand Master, and R. W. Rudolf Gottschall is the Grand Secretary. Three Globes.

The headquarters of this Grand Lodge are at Berlin. M. W. Rev. Karl Habicht is the 9rand Master, and V. \V. Joh. Hintze is Grand Secretary. The~e are 174 Lodges with 22,689 members. The Grand Master reported: I.

"That the opponents of the Craft have increased their agitations. The attacks of the university fraternities (Burschenschaften) have been answered by an effective refutation of their unfounded charges. The opposition of the National Un ion of Gentian Military Officers and the Order 01 the Knights of St. John has been disturbing. The former organrzation has decided not to admit in the future any members who are Freemasons. The Association of the Nobility has .adopted the same policy. The lessons to be learned from the opponents are self-examination and self-improvement. If the Masons were a negligible factor, rio one would take the trouble to attack them. And the Grand Lodge does not stand alone, but, in the union represen ted by the Prussian Gl'and Masters Society, it can count on the support of three-fourths at lea~t of all German Freemasonry."

Zur Eintracht.

This Grand Lodge met in Eightieth ,Annual Comm~nication on May 8, 1926. It is composed of ten Lodges with 880 members. The following declaration appears in the Proceedings, "The Freemason is obligated ever to fulfill _with zeal and care all duties which are imposed upon him by religion and reason, fatherland~ calling and profession." Zur Sonne.

This Grand Lodge has its headquarters at Bremen and has 39 Lodges with 3,915 members under Its Jurisdiction.

The Grand Master pointed out that the times' are quite un: favorable for German -Freemasons. Everywhere the enemies of . the Craft are at work. Under suchl circumstances, it is more than ever necessary that all should work in har~otiy and in the spirit of the Royal Art, everyone in its place In. the family, community, state, and Lodge. .

Appendix.

A resolution was adopted prohibiting members from joining any other organization 'claiming to be. Masonic or bearing a semblanceto Freemasonry and offering so-called higher degrees. A new constitution was adopted. It is founded on the principle: "That the Craft is a union of men who, under the form of a fraternity, labor for their moral ennoblement, for love of their fellowmen, and for the harmonious cultivation of heart and mind. It holds the Constitutions of 1723 to be of fundamental_validity, today as before,. for the Grand Lodge of Zur Sonne. At the same lime, it recognizes that the application of the Constitutions of 1723 must be adapted to existing conditions.' In order to indicate clearly the principles which are binding upon all the membership, there are set down in the new Constitution certain definite maxims, as follows: "1. :!freemasonry aims at the moral and mental ennoblement of men; therefore, the moral law is the rule and guide for the conduct of the individual Brothers and the constituent Lodges. "In the symbol of God as' the 'Almighty Architect of all the Worlds,' the Freemasons revere the Source and End of all moral ideas. Masonic symbols point toward the higher destination of man and the immortality of the Soul; the Fraternity, however, does not exact of its members any definite dogmatic confession and respects every conviction.-Freedom in matters of faith, conscience and thought is the Freemason's greatest treasure. He rejects every compulsion threatening these liberties and every persecution turned against those differing in belief or thought. "2. Freemasonry pursues its object-promotion of human perfection-by educating its membership in self-understanding, love of men in feeling and in action, social helpfulness, as well as intensifying the conscience and the consciousness of responsibility for every

act. "Without distinction of religion or confession, of nationality, political persuasion, or social position, the Fraternity accepts unprejudiced men of g'ood reputation, unites these in a community of sincerely friendly Brothers who vie with one another to .divest themsel ves of weaknesses. and errors and labor together to bddge divisions between men. "The 'fraternal spirit cultivated in the Lodges the members are to carry out into human soci.ety and adopt for their own guidance in their family, occupational and civil relationships. That spirit shall express itself in works of benevolence and intelligent participation in all social and cultural endeavors. .' "3. The Fraternity is a moral but not a political society and shall not be a substitute for the Church. It does not take sides in political and sectaJ;ian party strifes and avoids .in its Lodges everything which may give rise to political or religious discussions. "To t.he Freemason love of country and duties as a citizen are sacred. Freemasonry knows of no conflict between its demands and tHe Guties which its members as citizens owe to the State or to the community.

"4. The Masonic usages, largely derived from the building fraternities of the Medieval Age, are chiefly of symbolic significance. They are educational means serving the purposes of the. Fraternity. "The Fraternity itself and its history, its principles and its objects, are no secret. The Masonic secret to which the Brothers are obligated, serves for mutual recognition, for the protection of confidential exchange of opinion within the Lodges and for the protection of t.he traditional forms 路of Masonic labor which are the peculiar possession in which all Brothers share and by whi'ch the ties between them are kept s!rong. "The Freemasons have no unknown superiors. They are obligated only to obey the Brother who !Hesides over the Lodge, to observe conscientious silence with regard to the internal affairs of the Lodge and the personal confiden tial affairs of the Brothers, and to guard the honor and the interests of the Lodge according to their best ability."

This is a business-like document abounding \ in interest and containing the salient facts of the year's administration. Among other things, he says: "Masonry must continue to inculcate its high ideals into the minds and hearts of the Craft if it would continue to be a factor in the solution of the every-day problems .of life. To bring men to a full realization of their obligations to themselves and toward their fellows as a prime purpose for the existence of the Masonic institution. No institution can solicit nor long retain the active support of thinking men unless it have a forward-looking, const~uctive, energizing program worthy of the best thought of the age. Such ideals Masonry has always adhered to, and just so long as we hold aloft its banner and maintain its principle and precepts unsullied, just so long will Masonry continue to be a mighty power for good among men. "This conception of Masonry I am persuaded to believe has taken' a firm hold upon the Craft throughout our Jurisdiction, and I am pleased to assure you that the true spirit of Masonry is generally prevalent, and that the great tenets and teachings of our

Brother J. W. Shore again presents the Report on Foreign Correspondence, which is 'his third. The Proceedings of fifty-nine Grand Lodges are reviewed. In presenting this report to the Grand Lodge, Brother Shore Says: "I see no reason to vary my opinions cxpl"ess~d in my report of a year ago on the condition of Masonry throughout the world, so far as the trend can be ascertained from a close study of the Proceedings enumerated. "Not only'the Grand Masters, but IlI'actically all officers whose views -are quoted state and re-state the minimum and essential qualifications and duties of Master Masons. Programs of education are being fostered, works of benevolence instituted and encouraged, and the necessity for the actual practice of the tenets of the Order being insisted upon. "Where merely lack of interest and carelessness are being ~isplayed every incentive is beirig employed to overcome these dis~ abilities. Where active wrong-doing and culpable negligence are manifest, the necessary discipline is being administered. "The actual influx of new members is probably less than it has been' at any time since the World 'Val'.

methods for their working, it is certain that the antecedents and character of candidates, and the motives for their 'desire to enter the fraternity are being closely inquired into, with the result that such material is of a high order. "On the other hand, indifferent and worthless members are being weeded ou t by suspension for N. P. D., and the active wrong-doers are heing suspended for cause or expelled. The integrity of the fraternity is not only being thus preserved by close attention to' the memb'ership, but there is distinct evidence of a close scrutiny of the innovations of various sorts which have helped to obscure the basic principles of the Craft. "More and more attention is being given to the needs of the necessitous brother, the widow and orphan and the sick; while full acceptance of civic responsibility and respect for the law is being urged upon the Brethren, so that the Fraternity may continue to be the leader in 'progress and enlightenment as in times past."

Former Governor, Charles S. Deneen, made an address lof timely importance on .various phases of our National Government and concludes with this paragraph: "The rights of everybody are more important than anybody, and the prosperity of everybody is more important than the prosperity of anybody. We who have an equal interest in the common govern-, ment, and moral law, should, so far as we can, impress on those with whom we mingle and associate the importance of the equal al)plication of the law, and of' building up again the old traditions which affect the growth and development' of our country, which has undergone a change as the result of the World 'Var."

Fraternal Visits.

Among the 'list enumerated, the Grand Master has the following paragraph: "March 20, 1926, I had the e'xtreme pleasure of receiving the Grand Master of Masons in Missouri, Brother W. W. Martin, in my home Lodge, Brother Martin was accompanied by Brother ,Frank R. Jesse, Grand Secretary, and twenty-five Brethren of: George Washington Lodge No. 9 of St. Louis. Many prominent Masons of Illinois and Indiana were also present, and had the pleasure of witnessing the conferring of the third degree by the Missouri Brethren."

A Travesty. "I received a letter from the 'Vorshipful Master of one of our Lodges enclosing a signed article published in a recent issue of a certain periodical. At the same time it was brought to my attention ,by' another Grand Jurisdiction. The article, entitled 'The Confession,' was a travesty on part of the ritual, and was so bold as to demand an immediate investigation. "I succeeded in ascertaining that the author was a ~ember of 8n Illinois Lodge, and referred the matter to our Junior Grand, 'Varden. Brother Howard interviewed the author, who admitted that he was responsible for its publication. 1 received a letter from the BI'other stating that he had innocently written the article with no intention of anyone seeing it, but had foolishly showed it to some of his friends, who suggested that it be pUblished. to which he finally consented. He stated that he was made a Mason last December and that he had' always had a high regard for Masonry and valued his membership in the Fraternity above' everything e1se. He was perfectly willing to submit to any discipline, but pleaded that he not be given the maximum penalty. '1 felt that something should be done which would clearly place the stamp of disapproval on this growing evil. Therefore, on September 1, 1926, I suspended the Brother from all the rights and privileges of Masonry. "The Brother clearly indicated in his letter his remorse at having committed this offense and assured me that he had learned a deep and 'lasting lesson. I feel that his punishment has been

The Grand Master says: "In reporting to you the conditi,on of the Order in Iowa, I have no desire to give you the impression that the future of our fair state 100J{s dark or hopeless. But we would do well to recognize that for three or four years Iowa has been reaping the inevitable resul ts of the unwise' speculation and inflation of war times. The economic situation is not good. This situation, however, is not hopeless. The greatest agricultural common wealth with its productive soil and enlightened population will again be restored to prosperity. Hut as members of this Grand Lodg-e and men who are in'terested in' its success and prosperity, it is your duty to recognize that the present situation demands the utmost economy in the administration I of its affairs. ThiS Grand Lodge should路 heed the warning against <'xtravagance. It should avoid entering upon any ambitious project which might call for increased expenditure.

"A straw will sometimes路 tell which way the wind. blows." Read this paragraph and then review the Masonic developmentsl of the last decade. The Grand Master says:, I "I am promp~ed to discuss this subject sO卤newhat at length by the fact that so few seem to realize the danger which threatens. Everywhere men who understand how undesirable and destructive would be the results of the establishment of a General Grand Lodge are heard to say that there is no likeliho'od that any such action will be seriously conside,red. But we must awake and realize that the few proponents of this project are spreading propaganda at every opportunit.Y. A number of pUblications have have espoused the cause. "Now what are the reasons. given for the establishment of a General Grand Lodge? Have you ever heard more than one reason given; namely, that once in the history of the world, at the time of thE' World War Masonry was handicapped because it had no national organization? The Masonic Service Association of the UnitAd States was organized to meet any such an emergency that may arise in the future. It may' be argued that this Association has wandered somewhat away from its original purpose. Does any olle suppose that there would be no danger that a General Grand

Lodge might not wander far afield while waiting' for another Wol'1d 'Var? My Brethren. let me say that I am convinced that no greater calamity could befall our Fraternity in the United States than would result from the establishment of a General Grand Lodge. The several Granu Lodges of the United States are now bound toge'ther by our ancient laws, customs, and landmarks. The most pleasant relations exist among them. It is realized by the leaders of Masonry that a general organization endowed with any power at all would inevitably lead to discord and strife and contention and dissatisfaction and confusion. In Iowa there are 86,000 Masons, 550 Lodges. Do we need 'some super-organization to lead our footsteps aright, to dictate to us the wording' of our ritual, to force upon us laws and customs unfitted to oUr experiences?"

Masonic Service Association.

Of this the Grand Master says: "Last year my predecessor informed you that he had served - notice on the Association of the intention of this Grand Lodge to withdraw from membership in the Association, and the matter was referred to me, to act with the. approval of an Advisory Committee to be appointed by me, to continue membership or to consummate our withdrawal. The Advisory Committee appointed under this authority is composed of Most Worshipful. Brothers Louis Block and Charles C. Clark.. As this committee could not wholly a,.gree as to what action should be taken, the notice of withdrawal was permitted to go by default, and our membership in the Association continues. While the affairs of the Association are not conducted in a manner entirely satisfactory, still its possibilities for achievement are such that our withdrawal at this time would be' unwise,"

N. B. We have recently heard, however, that the Grand Lodge of Iowa has withdrawn from the Association. Charity.

In 1894 the Grand Lodge of Iowa voted that "it is inexpedient and unwise" to establish a Masonic Home, and to that position it has ever since adhered. In lieu of a Home "allowances" and "annunities" are provided for the needy and this plan has worked splendidly. The Grand Master recommends, however, that the Trustees appoint a competent Brother to make "a personal investigation .,of each applicant for relief." He also suggests that the function now being performed by.a special committee on sanitarium which is to devel,Op a hospital on a site already acquired should be made part of the duties of the trustees of the Grand Charity Fund. In conclusion, the Grand Master says: "Let me repeat that the paramount purpose of this Fraternity is brotherhood, and in that word as we use it is wrapped up all those sublime virtues taught by the sages: trust in God, faith, hope, charity, fidelity, devotion to right and duty, unselfish service to one's

fellowmen. We cannot have true brotherhood unless we follow the precepts which define it. The practice of these virtues also creates good citizenship. Our Fraternity has been builded strong and enduring by those who grasped the genius of brotherhood and have upheld the high ideals of citizenship. 'Ve need not be ashamed of the record of American Masons in their love and devotion to our flag and our Constitution. We believe in peace, but we do not believe in that pacifism which would leave this country defenseless before a rapacious world. As citizens of the most beneficial government ever established among men we will always be ready to defend it 'against foes from vlithoutor foes within. Not one ]Hinciple of human liberty and security shall he torn from our Constitution. Not one star shall be erased from that azure field."

Brother Block introduces his report with an illuminating "Foreword" on "Two Masonic Essentials" -and closes it with an "Afterward" on the Symbolism of the Acacia." Both of these are worthy deliverances from a worthy Brother. Brother Block's reviews of the Grand Lodges are teeming with interesting facts and comments and Missouri as usuai receives ample consideration in nearly six pages. We have no words in which to thank him for his kindness to ou-rselves. Bro,ther Block has evidently found the secret of being happy and is able to communicate happiness to others.

The Grand Master's Address closes with the following significant paragraph: "Our outlook for the future i"s, I think, a happy one. We are on Rplendid terms with the civil Government, a's we always ought to be. Freemasonry offers us all an opportunity of doing good to our Brother Masons, and at the same time of proving ourselves, in the fa~e of the world, better citizens. Those being our ideals, we need have no fear, whatever Government we may happen to live under, being sure, as we are, that we have. nothing to be ashamed of, and welcoming the criticism of all men, .and being certain, also, that we can justify every action we take."

The Grand Lodge adopted the following: ."Members of the Craft ar'e strictly forbidden to use the fact of their membt'rship as a means of promoting business or of securing private advantage. They are fprbidden to use any of the emblems of Freemasonry on a sign or in any other way 6n business premises, bu:siness correspondence paper, or in connection with any business advertisement. A Masonic Certificate must not be displayed or alÂˇ lowed to be displayed on busiJ)ess premises. Any breach of this ruling will be considered as un-Masonic conduct, and may be dealt witl~ as provided by G. L. I.aw 34." . "This ruling is not intended to apply to the sale of Masonic articles in Masonic circles or to advertising them in Masonic papers."

SEVENTY-FIRST' ANNUAL COMMUNICATION. Held at Wichita, Kansas, February 23, 1927, with a total rel;> resentation of 810. • The Proceedings of the Grand Lodge of Kans8:s, printed on high grade paper and profusely illustrated with half-tone cuts, illustrating the new Grand Lodge building at Topeka, Kansas, come to our table freighted with items of interest to every lover of Masonry. Grand Master's Address.

This is a document covering. twenty pages setting forth the various items pertinent to the year's administration, well paragraphed and couched in choice language. Beginning the Grand Master says: "Right joyously I welcome you to the Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of Master Masons of the great State of Kansas. "The year just passed, with its duties and responsibilities, has enlarged my appreciation of the science and art of Freemasonry as a real factor in human progress.· I am reminded that our principles and tenets are rooted in the wisdom of antiquity; that our Order has marched down the centuries .without a single deviation from its course. Like the mighty Nile which flows through a thousand miles of waste and desert land without a single tributary, the stream of Masonry has moved along undiluted by ingraftment or any form of alloy. "Our Great Lights, shining down.~the avenues of time, symbolize the plan laid out by the Great Architect of the Universe, and reveal the laws and principles which govern our work. The mighty force' and importance of this symbolism are the marvel of the ages. The human mind has conceived no finer idealism. This graphic system of object lessons is the Alpha and Omega of human achievement. The Mason of today is ac!uated by the same purpose, is trained in the same lessons and arrives at Masonic goals by the interpretation and application of the same symbols as his Brethren of past centuries. For ages past they have made Masons great men, and great men, IVrasons. . "The art of Masonry is the practice of Masonry, the science of Masonry is the knowledge of Masonry.

Masons acquire skill as the physician acquires skill in his ])ractice, 01' as a pain tel' or musician attains mastery of, his al:'t."

Tender references are ma.de to the Fraternal Dead among whoni occurs the name of Past Grand Master Hugh P. Farrelly. Grand Lodge History.

The Grand Master, in caHing attention to this, says that: "Few of the pioneers in Kansas history, which is analogous with early Masonic history, are left to tell the story of the trials and vicissitudes, the joys a~d sorrows of those who led the van in the great tide of immigration which flowed into Kansas subsequent to the establishment of the Territory. "That this early Masonic history might not go unrecorded, there ,have been repeated suggestions made that a committee be appointed to undertake this important work, and in conformity with the action of the Grand Lodge 'in 1926 a special committee consisting of our Grand Secretary, Albert K. Wilson, Brother Benjamin F. Heis, Leavenworth r'~odge No.2, and Brother Paul M. Martin, of Smithton Lodge No.1, were appointed. As this work will entail an enormous amount of research, it has not been possible for our Grand Secretary, with his multiplicity of other duties, to undertake the work this year. "Believing that we owe it to our posterity to preserve our wonderful history, it is my recommendation that our Grand Secretary, on accoun t of his 'personal I<nowledge of early Masonic events and because he has access to all our printed reco'rds, be appointed to compile this history and that he be given additional clerical help, thus relieving him of the routine work of the office. "I also recommend that a sufficient sum be appropriated to make this possible;"

Unveiling Monument.

The Grand Master states that: "On June 7, 1926, it was my privilege to convene the Grand Lodge in Special Communication, with eig-ht of the Grand Lodge officers present in the hall of Smithton Lodge No. 1 at Highland. Doniphan County, for the purpose of performing the solemn ano impressive ceremony of unveiling a monument erected by the Grand Lodge to the memory of two pioneers in Kansas Masonry, R. W. John \V. Smith, our first Deputy Grand Master, and R. W. Daniel Vanderslice, Our first Grand Junior Warden. "This monument replaced a bronze shaft that' was; erected by the .Grand Lodge and Smithton Lodge No.1, in 1878, but which had failed to withstand the action of the elements. "The members of the Council of Administration in 1925 were of the unanimous opinion that this hallowed spot should be fittingly marked, and authorized Grand Secretary Albert K. vVilson to have erected a suitable memorial. "All the lodges of "'the County were represented and in the presence of these Brethren, numbering about one hundred and

seventy-five and a large concourse of friends, an appropriate ceremony was performed as a t1'ibute to the memory of these faithful Craftsmen wllose devotion and vision made possible the orianization of our Grand Lodge, and whose courage and determination carried it on. "While this granite shaft shall endure, it will remind us of the priceless heritage of devotion and love for Kansas Masonry as exemplified in the -lives of Brothers Smith and Vandersl'ice."

Extranaeous Organizations. "During "the year the Grand Master h~s been the recipient of voluminous correspondence from several Associations and organizations, national and local in scope and purposes, and whiie recognizing the educational and altruistic spirit路 that actuates them, has, without exception. replied, that owing to the attitude and avowed intention of non-participation in these org;'nizations by our Grand Lodge, 'no re,cognition could he 'accorded by him."

Condition of the Craft. "Between the Fir.st Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge at Leavenworth, on March 17, 1856, with representatives from 3 Lodges, having a total membership of 76, to the Seventy-first' Annual Communication todq,y, with representatives from 447 Lodges, having a membership of 82,165, lies seventy years of eventful Masonic history and it is mee't that we should consider the responsibilities and opportunities of our h路critage. "The challenge of Kansas -Masonry to our youth should be, that from their hearts as- well as from thei~ lips, shall ascend a pledge of loyalty and devotion to our Craft. "We must maintain those standards of conduct a.nd loyalty to Masonic virtues wh'ich gave our predecessors moral fibre and constructive leadership and enabled them to fashion the cornerstone upon which rests our Masonic edifice of today and which we must not allow to disintegrate. "The multiplicity of interests. both social and business, is proving a deterrant to Lodge attendance and there is no situation of more vital co~cern to those of us who are interested in the future of Masonry than the lack of attendance at Lodge meetings; there should also be an effort made to minimize the losses in membership due to' suspension and to restore as many as possible of those who have been dropped from the rolls."

In conclUding his Address, the Grand Master says: "The years that have passed have been ever-changing years: Scenes and conditions' are changing; old faces disappearing,. new ones taking their places. Only a few of those of yester year remain -among them our beloved Grand Secretary, n.. W. Albert K. '\Vilson,' who has answered Grand Lodge roll call forty-four times and whO is just completing his thirty-third year as our Grand Secretary; . and our Grand Treasurer, R. W. William Frank March, who is attending his thirty-second Annual ~ommunication of this Grand Lodge and who, this year celebrated his }<'iftieth Masonic birthday.

In his opening, the Grand Master makes 路the following reference, which seems to have some bearing on an item in the Grand Secretary's Report, which shows that seventeen Charters were

arrested and three surrendered; and that there is a shrinkage in themembefship of 4,886: "The past y'ear in Masonic circles in Kentucky, has been strenu- . ous, The whole trend of deepest thought and activity has been toward the completion of th'e Masonic Widows and Orphans'. Home. It is true. that many other smaller matters have intervened to relieve the tension of the greater work, but it is equally true that bet ween the efforts of the Million Dollar Committee to collect, and the equally fervent I effort of the Grand Secretary to realize from the assessments against the Lodges, we have had a year we shall never forgel. There has not been since the assessment of 1886 so milch interest manifested in a noble and glorious undertaking as has been manifested during the past year. In 1886, Bernard G. \Vitt was Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Kentucky, and the year he was installed,__ the Grand Lodg'e ordered the first assessment made for the benefit of the Masonic Widows and Orphans' Home, and during his term of office, he arrested the Charters of' fifty Lodges because of their failure and refusal to pay the assessment. While there have been some Charters arrested during the past year, the number is extremely limited, and amounts really to nothing. Indeed, all of them cannot' be attributed to the assessment, because at various times Lodges become"disintegrated, fail to make reports and pay dues and fall under the discipline of the' Constitution and la ws of the Grand Lodge."

Book of Constitutions.

The Committee appointed by the Grand Master to edit and 'bring down to date the Book of Constitutions was continued for another year. The New Masonic Home.,

Kentucky is having "the ti~e of its life" in carrying to com路 pletion this great enterprise-but the brethren will succeed, as they always d'o. The Grand Master makes the folloWing "acknowledgment" of the services of Grand Treasurer Garnett and Grand Secretary Hardwick: "Connected with the construction of the New Home, I think, it proper to acknowledge the very efficient and satisfactory services of Grand Treasurer Garnett and Grand, Secretary Hardwick, They, have kept in touch wilhthe entire work from beginning to end and 1 believe they are more familiar with the details than any other person. I have made it a point during the past year to keep posted as far as possible with the work, and especially with the financial end of it, and I have found at all times that these two distinguished Masons were thoroughly conversan t with the affairs, even to the intimate workings, and the Grand Lodge is to be congratulated that two such worthy Brothers have given so much of their time' and attention to the upbuilding of this great undertaking, which wi1l' always be a mon'ument to the Fraternity in Kentucky."

P. G. M. Earl Worthington Weathers.

We note with especial sadness the record of the passing of this splendid man, and heartily endorse the following: "He was a true man, a public spirited citizen, a Mason, tried and true. His community and his state have sustained a severe loss. He will be greatly missed at the meetings of the Grand Lodge of Kentucky, where his spirit of genuine brotherhood was ever manifest and where his safe counsel was ever sought."

M. W. Brother Weathers was a man among men, a worthy son of an honored sire, and a queenly mother, who always upheld the best traditions of the great Southland. We knew路 him well and loved him much. Clandestine Masonry.

P. G. M. John H. Cowles submitted the following report, which, was adopted: "It appears from the statement of the Grand Master of Freemasonry in Pennsyf'vania that the so called Masonic body styling itself the Regional Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania, also known as or called, the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Universal Masonry, is and has been creating Lodges which confer so-called Masonic degrees and claiming to be doing other work peculiar to and practiced by regular and legitimate Masonry. It further appears that this self acclaimed Masonic Grand Body is under the aegis of the Grand Orient of France, an organization not recognized by the Grand Lodge of Kentucky, F. &, A. M. "Bear in mind, "Brethren, that even if the Grand Orient of France or any bodies under it were recognized by this Grand Lodge as regular and even on brotherly terms with them their invasion of the jurisdiction of our Sister Grand Lodge of F. & A. M. of Pennsyl- . vania would be ~ violation of one of the fundamental principles of Freemasonry as practiced in the United States of America, i. e., excl usive terri torial jurisdiction. "The Grand Lodge, F: & A. M., of Pennsylvania' is a pioneer Grand Lo~ge of the Western Hemisphere, and for one hundred and twenty-five years approximately there has existed between it and the Grand Lodge of F. & A. M. of Kentucky mutual recognition and fraternal relations." "Your Committee recommends that the Grand Lodge, F. & A. M. of Kentucky approves wholly and endorses fully the action taken by the Grand Master and the Grand Lodge, F. & A. M. of Pennsylvania, in regard to the said 'Regional Grand Lodge, working under the obedience of the Grand Orient of France of self styled Masonry; that moral SUPI)Ort and encouragement be given by this Grand Lodge to the Grand Lodge of' Penn sylvan ia in its endeavor to eradicate clandestine and irreg'ular Masonry from our land. "Further, that this Grand Lodge reaffirms and reasserts its adherence to the principles of exclusive territorial jurisdiction of symbolic Masonry in each of the United States pf America, which

Appendi.'t:.

[Oct.

principle is in accord with the custom and laws of all the Grand Lodges of Freemasonry in this country. "Your Committee believes that the, recognition of the Grand Lodge of France, a Grand Lodge which' requires a belief by its members, in the Grand Architect of the Universe, has upon its altars t.he great lights, and about their altars the lesser lights, also the jewels, columns, follows the ancient landmarks, respects and cleaves to the principle of exclusive territorial jurisdiction, by this Grand I_odge; would result beneficially in acquainting our members with the difference between the Grand Lodge of France, a sovereign and independent body which is practicing- regular Freemasonry, and the Grand Orient of 'France which docs not require a belief in God, and violateH the u'sages of Maso'nry in this countJ'y by invading the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge, Free and Accepted Masons, of Pennsylvania. "We believe also that our recognition of the Grand Lodge of France would make nearer complete that universality of Masonry of which we boast, prove mutually helpful and be encouraging to the Grand Lodge of Fra;nce in its struggle to overcome difficulties, surmount obstacles, and solve problems more numerous and complicated than confronts Masonry in this land of liberty. "We therefore recommend t,,!)at the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted MRsons of Kentucky recognize as regular the Grand Lodge of France and extend to it and the Bodies under its Jurisdiction and its members the right hand of true brotherhood,"

Foreign' Relations.

The Grand Lodge extended recognition to: The Grand Lodge of Egypt, the Grand Orient of Greece, the Grand Lodge of Roumania, the Grand Orient of Turkey, the Grand Lodge of Vienna, the Grand Lodge of Czecho Slovakia, the Grand Lodge of Italy. Also to the York Grand Lodge of Mexico. Report on Cot:respondence.

This Report which is the work of P. G. M. W. W. 'Clarke is e,xceedingly interesting and Missouri is reviewed with kindly sentiment. As to Masonry in general, Brother Clarke says: "The outlook is cheering', Masonry is functioning, not, perhaps, one hundred per cent, but it is functioning, and functioning, it is seeking its goal; but if it is to attain it, those to whom its destinies are committed must see that it functions only wit.hin .the scope of legitimate Masonic endeavor,"

We thank him for his kind words anent our Report.

LOUISIANA. 1927. 1928. .J. 路Paul Haller, G. M. Edwin F. Gayle, G. M. John A. Davilla, G. S. Re-elected. John A. Davilla, Chairman, Committee on Correspondence. Lodges, 270. Members, 35,151. Gain, 246. ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTEENTH ANNUAL COMMUNICATION. Held In the City of New Orleans, La., Monday, February 7,1927. The Grand Master's Address. The Grand Master states, in opening, that: "Another year has lapsed since we met. A year replete with accomplishment and one in which this Grand Lodge has taken long strides in the effort to align itself with the other Grand Lodges of the Country in the matters that stand for greater efficieI1cy and better service. "During that time, our magnificent Temple has been practically completed an(l now rears its lofty head to the skies in a section that was once outside of the city boundaries and near. t.he localit.y where our first Lodge was compelled to meet at a time when Masonry was banned from the community proper. This condition was not changed until Lou~iana was admitted to the Union and the Flag of these Great United States, with its guarantees of freedom in rna Hers of religious belief and conscience gathered us under its folds."

The New Temple. This magnificent building was dedIcated on Sunday Afternoon, February 3, 1927, in time for the Grand Lodge to hold its Annual Communication. ,Speaking of it, the Grand Master says: , "On the first day of October of this year, the beginning of the rental period in this section, we had a sixty-two per cent rental and some forty tenants were able to begin their. period of occupancy. The amount of work entailed during the period of its erection could not be enumerated here for lack of space, but a faithful Board of Directors gave freely of theil' time and talent to this great enterprise and you must admit that they have accomplished wonders in that short space of time. At this time about seventy-five per cent of the building is occupied by comI1).el'cial tC'nants' and the undertaking is already an unqualified success. The whole effort stands out as a monument to Freemasonry. It is a decided asset to the city and is highly commented on by persons o( every faith."

State of the Order. Speaking of this, the Grand Master said that:

Appendix.

[Oct.

"It soon became evident after our occupancy of temporary quarters pending the demolition of the old Temple and the erection of the new one, that the work of the local Lodges would be restricted to a considerable extent because of lack" of room and the- lack of those conveniences to which they had become accustomed. As the building was built on to the party walls of those adjoining,' there was an entire absence of side ventilation and even with the electrical f3.n equipment, the rooms were scarcely habitable during the warm summer months, and for this reason the majo'rity of the Lodges' were compelled to discontinue work during that period and they will consequently show but' a small numerical gain if any. This will naturally affect the figures from the State as a whole, which the Lodges in other portions of the State will find it difficult to offset. However, there can be no question but that the new Temple will be a wonderful inspiration and that one year from. today we will be able to report an entirely different condition. "The large number of suspensions for non-payment of dues is also to be noted. This condition, however, is not peculiar to our State but is largely app'arent in other jurisdictions and the general deduction appears to be that we are merely adjusting ourselves to new' conditions and losing. only a fair proportion of those who were admitted during the rush of the years of the World War."

A Prevailing. Condition.

The Grand Master calls attention to a condition which exists in more places than Louisiana. lIe sa짜s: "During the year the matter of relief has required much attention and added considerably to the duties of your Grand Master. Many of our membership appeared to be imbued with the idea that the moment adverse conditions are apparent that they, have only to call upon their Lodges to find ready response. I do not mean to convey the idea that the unfortunate should not be assisted, but merely to correct an erroneous impression that Masonry carries any of the features of a Sick Benefit' Association and that the moment one of our Brethren meets with misfortune, he should feel that the Lodge is his only recourse. . "Our membership should not be limited to the affluent, but greater care should be taken to admit only such as are in a.position to care for themselves and their families and to whom the payment of the initial fees and dues would not necessitate the payment of funds that could be more properly devoted to their support. Our Lodges should' be more careful jn this matter in selecting their material and I am suggesting a form of application Which, if approved should be used by all of the Lodges. While we have no desire' to inquire into the intimate affairs of 'any man, still there are certain matters that we should know of anyone who desires connection with the Fraternity, and these items should be stated at the time he signs the petition."

Brother Henry L. Fuqua, Past Master of St. James Lodge No. 147 and Governor of the State of Louisiana. He paid splendid tribute to the virtues and excellencies of this worthy dignitary. Public Education.

The Grand Master says: "This Grand Lodge has declared itself in favor of the public schools of our Country. As American Masons we could' not do otherwise, as the safety of our Goverpment and liberty depends upon an enlightened people, free from foreign influences. Our public schools are a branch of our Government and it is the duty of every Mason to not only support them, but to see that they are properly administered. During the past year I granted permission to the New Orleans Public School League to send literatur~ pertaining to public schools to Uie Lodges in the State. It is a hallpy event to announce that our Grand Junior 'Warden Phil G. Ricks was elected a member of the New Orleans School Board last November. Also that our Grand Senior Warden, Brother James H. Rowland, was elected a member of the Shreveport School Board."

will show a total membership of 43,485, or a net gain of 504 for the year. \Vhile suspensions are only 288 as against 409 for the preceding year, it shows a wholesome pruning of our Lodge membership that should be encouraged. Any member who is financially able, but persistently neglects to pay his dues, should be dropped at once. Our Brethren, except in cases of misfortune, are expected not only to care for themselves, but to contribute to the support of the Lodge and to the relief of the distressed. If they are unwilling to perform these Masonic duties, they are liabilities and not assets to the Fraternity.'.'

Masonic Service Association.

Referring to this the Grand Master says: "One year 'ago the Grand Lodge, by resol u tion, withdrew its membership from the Masonic Service Association, and authorized the Grand Master, in his discretion, to enter subscriptions for "The Master Mason" for the USe of subordinate Lodges. Inasmuch as only one request ,vas received for such subscriptioll, it has not seemed advisable to incur the expense of a general subscription for all the Lodges."

I n General.

After a warm commendation of the National Masonic Tubercular Sanatoria Association, the Grand Lodge responded to the wishes of the Grand Master by voting $400 to that object. The Grand_ Secretary mentioned two unusual bequests: one of them amounting to $30,000 for a Trust Fund, the income to be used for the relief of needy membE?fs of AshIer Lodge No. 105 at Lewiston; the other to be used for the building of a new home for Orient Lodge No. 15 at Thomaston, the latter amounting to $15,000. The average Ledge membership in the Grand .Jurisdiction of Maine has increased during the year from 200.89 to 211.91. An I nteresting Item. "W. Bro. Harold E. Weeks, the Master of Siloam Lodge No. 92, gave an interesting account of the history of a gavel used in his Lodge for twenty-two years and t.hen, having become worn and cracked, transferred to t.he archives. The gavel was at olle time the property ,of a small Lodge in a country town in India. During the Sepoy rebellion, in 1856, the Lodge was looted and a chest containing its paraphernalia was carried away. On discovering the contents and not knowing what to do with them, the rebels dropped their loot on the road. A British officer found the chest and took it with him to England. After his death, the material passed into the possession of his nephew, who was a physician in St. Thomas Hospital at London. Dr. E. C. HooDer, a member of Siloam Lodge, while a student in that hospital, in 1904, became interested in the

contents of the old chest and was given the gavel which formed part of the collection. Dr. Hooper presented that interesting souvenir to his Lodge, and there it was again put to the use for which it was designed."

Foreign Correspondence. In presenting the Report on Fraternal Correspondence, Rev. Dr. Ashley A. f::mith, asked that it may be read by as many of the Brethren as poz,sible. He, assured them that a careful reading of the report would give the reader a very good understanding of Masonic activity in other jurisdictions in this country and those beyond the s~as, not only as regards matters of ritual and juriS:.. prudence but of practical Masonry in relief work and ~he like. He thought the Brethren would find', if they read his reviews carefully, that in Maine the interest and activity in this direction was very much be:ow the average, a condition he believed n,ot the result of choice by the Masons in this State, but rather because of their neglect of informing themselves of the prevailing conditions elsewhere. We have had the pleasure of reading this report, and have greatly enjoyed the comments here and there interspersed. ' The "Foreword" on "Masonry, as a Unifying Principle of Protestantism" iR especially interesting and helpful, and we wish that our space would permit of its reproduction. Brother Smith reviews Missouri in most kindly terms, and we are indebted to him for his continued kindness to ourselves. He, along with many others, will regret to hear of the "translation" of our honored predecessor, Doctor C. C. Woods, who so long, and so effectively, ,wrote our Correspondence Report.

John A. Rowland, Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Canada in the Province of -Ontario. Fifty Grand Representatives of sister Grand Lodges were present and received appropriate welcome. Grand Master's Address.

The following excerpts are worthy of note: "Last year our vision was retrospective. With pride and satisfaction we contemplated a half-century of achievement and paid tribute to the courage and faith of the pioneer Masons of Manitoba, once again gratefully acknowledging that the rugged figure of the pioneer is one of the noblest in a nation's history. Today we attempt to visualize the tasks of the future in the knowledge that the complexities of our civilization' with its means of rapid communication are creating problems unknown in past generations. The incoming of strange peoples, unfamiliar with British ideals, the new political groupings, the amazing impatience of the electorate and the mob spirit it engenders-these things are disturbing and suggest the breakdown of old faiths. Amidst such movements stands our great brotherhood holding by the eternal, unchangeable truths of life and welcoming into its membership all honest, true-hearted men; a unifying force in our national life and a powerful agency for the nurture of good will amongst men. If these ideals are pursued steadily for a generation by the Craft in this Province, Freemasonry will have wrought a work which will endure for all time and for which our children's children will call us blessed." "During the year there has occurred an event which history will regard as one of the turning points in the tireless march of mankind. At Locarno the representatives of the Powers for the first time in history held that the interests of humanity superceded the interests of individual nations. Diplomats declared that the most urged need at the present time was the re-establishment of mutual confidence between nations. The essential unity of vVestern civilization was discovered. A common culture was admitted. Treaties based on these principles were signed and the first real step to eliminate war in all history was taken. Disappointment and re-action are inevitable, yet that great step can never be wholly re-traced. It may be recalled that it is 700 years since the Magna Charta was signed and yet its import is only now fully realized. Since Magna Charta it is doubtful if there has been any political evcnt comparable with the Locarno Pact. "Locarno as the acknowledgment by the leaders of political thought of the brotherhood of man has a striking significance for us as Freemasons. It is a justification of our doctrines and its achievement must make a profound appeal to every sincere Mason."

Here is

ano~her:

"Brethren, Masonry is a spiritual force. 'Today's discussions will soon be forgotten, but the influence of our association here will abide. The friendships formed, the sympathies received and given, the clear understanding obtained of the character and quality of our fellow citizens; such memories as these will refresh the soul

and sweeten life through all the years to come. Such is the ministry of Freemasonry." "A philosopher has said: 'Ignorance and bungling with love are better than wisdom and skill without. There may be courtesy, _there may even be temper, and wit, and talent, and sparkling conversation. there maybe good-will. even-and yet the humanest and divinest faculties pine for exercise. Our life without love is like coke and ashes. Men may be pure as alabaster and Parian marble, elegan t as a Tuscan villa, sublime as Niagara. and yet if there is no milk mixed with their wine at theil' entertainments, better is the hospitality of Goths and Vandals'." Lodge Visitations.

The Grand Master says: "Most heartily do I commend the growing custom of inter'Lodge visits, especially the interchange of visits between city Lodges and those meeting in rural parts. These visits evidence the essential unity of the Craft-that we are one in spirit and purpose-create new and precious friendships and discover to the untraveled Mason that other Lodges than his own are doing excellent work. No I.Jodge should consider the year's activities complete which has not made at least one visit to a sister Lodge and preferable a Lodge at a considerable distance. I can testify that these visits have been to me amongst the most inspiring and refreshing experience of my Masonic life." â&#x20AC;˘ . Very Timely.

The following paragraph is altogether worthy: "As each new group of initiates comes in to the Order, a restatement of sound doctrine is required. The most sacred duty a Mason has to perform is in the use of the ballot :tnd the injunction to regard this duty as a trust cannot be too often repeated. To use a black ball carelessly, maliciously or spitefully is to injure the Lodge, besmirch your own soul and wound a Brother man. Personal feelings must not be allowed to influence your actions here. The only justification for the employment of a black ball is that one's conscience warns one that the applicant is unworthy. Masonry is no exclusive social club. It is a universal brotherhood to which we \ welcome every true God-fearing man who freely and voluntarily offers himself a candidate to partake with us of its mysteries and privileges on his declaration of his sincere wish to render himself' more extensively serviceable to his fellow creatures."

We greatly regret that Missouri does not appear among the Grand Lodges reviewed, but hope for better things next Year. "Grand Lodges as a whole are devoting much time, energ-y and money to the perennial problems of Masonic benevolence. The erection and maintenance of Homes has been a general solution so far. Grand Lodges are now finding out that these are expensive to erect and costly to maintain. A fixed overhead has to be met irrespective of the number of inmates, and in addition there is the problem of securing a suitable Superintendent and staff. It is also recognized that. the atmosphere of such a building can never equal that of an honest-to-goodness home. . "\Vhile Homes or their substitutes are an absolute necessity for' the bed-ridden and helpless, it must be conceded that when able to look after themselves no adult will be as happy as in their own home or amongst their own people. As for children, no Home at its best can provide a suitable environment for developing our future citizens. "One Jur'isdiction is considering the sale of their Home, and reverting to stated monthly payments. Others are increasing their accommodations or erecting new buildings. Some are discussing relieving the congestion in their Homes by suggesting that IJodges endeavor to accommodate their unfortunate in their own community. This 'would enable the Lodge to supervise their comfort, While' Grand Lodge' 'would undertake compensation. "One very noticeable feature of all Grand Lodge Communications is the gradual encroachment upon the liberties of the Con!>tituent Lodg-e. ,Vhila it i:3 'true that cliques in individual Lodges will sometimes forget Masonic obligation, yet I do not believe it is the part of wisdom on the part of Grand Masters or Grand Lodges to make our Lodges the equivalent of a 'rubber stamp'/'

Concerning this institution, the Grand Master said: "The Trustees of the Masonie Home Fund have spent a great deal of time and energy. It seems that the Fraternity at large do not want a home, at least their immediate needs do not require it. We have on hand about $147,000.00. Several sites have been inspected, but in view of the lethargy connected with this venture, I feel that we should make haste slowly, and have sufficient funds in hand to at- least be certain of carrying out a modest program. "The Masonic Fraternity is rich in property and we spend a great deal of money for many things, but because our present personal condition does not demand a home or help from our Brethren we apparently w~uld far rather build marble halls and monuments of stone, than to carry out the first precept of Masonry, and build our Temple in the hearts of men. "The responsibility is with each individual member and every Lodge, although at this writing there are twenty-one Lodges which have not made a contribution to this most_worthy cause."

Lodge Visitation.

Concerning this matter, the Grand Master observed: "Some years ago when Maryland adopted a card as a receipt for current dues, it was specifically stated that it was not t~ be compulsory to show cards for visitation in this State. Since that tilne conditions_ have changed so much, that in self protection some action should be taken 'to demand a' showing of documentary evidence before an examination of visitors. I should like to have our own members submit their cards before being admitted to our own Lodge. "This may seem harsh but. it will help the Lodges."

Masonic Home.

The "Home" has received a bequest of $135,000, to which $15,000" more will be added when settlement is made. This is to go to the Endowment Fund and to be known as the Raymond Beardsley Bequest. Another Bequest of $27,037.38 was received from the estate of Benjamin Godkin, also for the Endowment Fund, and to be known as the Benjamin Godkin Bequest. Under the will of the late Brother Augustus D. Woodward, the Grand Lodge receives assets amounting to about $14,000. This also goes to the Endowment Fund. • These bequests indicate the high standing of the Craft in Michigan which is following in the path of Pennsylvania and other Jurisdictions along this line. Some Timely Words.

Brother Charles G. Mahana in responding for the Grand Commandery of ~nights Templar in Michigan uttered these timely words, "People do not judge the Masonic Order by the Grand Master, but by the individual Mason. Think of your own communities. It is the character of the men that comprise the Order, what those men do as individuals and collectively as a Lodge, that gives the people their imp·ressions of Masonry. "So we owe it to ourselves and to t.he Lodge, and to the Grand Lodge-yes, to Masonry as an institution-not to forsake the ideals we had, nor the vows we made, when we joined the Order, not to betray the trust that was placed in us when we were adjudged worthy and were allowed to be admitted, but to so live, to so speak, without blasphemy or scandal, to so act toward our fellow men, and, therefore, toward our Brother Masons, that we will be a credit to the Order and that Masonry will go on ·and on and ever increase in prestige and influence."

Lou B. Winsor.

It is pleasant to note that the Proceedings are embellished with a striking portrait of our good friend, M. W. Brother Lou B. Winsor, who for nearly twenty-five years has guided the destinies of the Grand Lodge as its Grand Secretary and who is beloved of all who know him. Brother Winsor also wrote the Report on Cc,rrespondence for twenty years consecutively. Beginnings of Masonry in Michi:gan.

Masonic Education.

The Co~missi9n on Masonic Education reports that 248 Lodges are availing themselves of its service; 202 Lodges have had the traveling libraries; 1,215 books were loaned to individual Brethren. Speakers are supplied to County rallies, and the expenses of these arc met by the Commission. Twenty-five rallies were held during the year, 105 Ledges being represented thereat by 3,200 Master Masons. The Commission was granted an appropriation of $8,000 () for the coming year. Foreign Correspondence. '

The Report on Correspondence is the third to come from the fascinating pen of the Grand Chaplain, Rev. W. H. Gallagher. It is a marvel and s~intillates with gems of b8auty on almost every page. Brother Gallagher in submitting his report says: "For the third time, Michigan's new Committee on Correspondence is submitting his annual report. In spite of. urgent exortations, or entreaties, from other correspondents, to be prolix, he has been of pains to study brevity. How far he has succeeded, the printer alone can make known. It is to be hoped he has exercised, at 'least, one hundred pages. He greatly fears he has not attained his heart's desire. The work is fascinating. The .proceedings of the various Jurisdictions arc so replete with good things, the temptation to quote and comment too liberally is hard, impossible, in fact, to resist. If he. has again failed to be brief, one consolation sustains him-all that he has given is good reading, and from it both the Masonieally erudite and the Masonically ignorant may learn something of value."

Missouri receives courteous treatment in nine pages, and we wish that our space would permit its reproduction in full. Here is one paragraph: "Brother George Cl in ton Deane was suspended unjustly from Ole benefits of Masonry, his Lodge not knowing the particulars of his mental and physical condition. Grand Lodge granted him a post mortem restoration, which now entitles his widow to admission into the Home. This is, to Michigan's Correspondent one of the sweetest flowers in the posey of Missouri's Proceedings.Justiee."

SEVENTY-FOURTH ANNUAL COMMUNICATION. Held at St. Paul, Minn., January 19, 1927. Grand Master's Address.

This is a well-written presentation of the affairs pertaining to his administration and contains much interesting information. The Grand Master commends the George Washington Memorial and speaks of the National Masonic Tuberculosis Sanatoria Association, pointing out, however, that the interest of paramount importance'to the Minnesota Craft is their Masonic Home.

Speaking of this, the Grand Master says that a loan of $250,000 is imperatively necessary and that: "The failure of the membership at large to 'contribute made the loan necessary, and until it is freed of debt, its efficiency will be impaired to the extent of th~ cost of carrying the obligation. Provision for paying off the bonds should be made, and every member of this Grand JuriSdiction (if he will not do so voluntarily), shouhl be required to contribute to the Building Fund. A precedent has been established in other Grand Jurisdictions by such a _ requirement, and in amounts much larger than asked of our members. "There will be offered at this session of the Grand Lodge a resolution which will provide for the payment, by each member who has not already done so, of $12.50 p;'yable, if desired. in five equal annual installments to the Building Fund. "The claim that such action by the Grand Lodg-e is an assessment and cannot be levied by the Grand Lodge is successfully refuted by the fact that it now requires a contribution of $1.00 per member each year for the maintenance of the Home. The amount 'assessed, or required does not enter into the question of authority, and this Grand Lodge has established its right to call on its members for money by means of what might be termed an assessment. "The necessity of the Home cannot be questioned; the site, the buildings, and the plans for future development have been inspected by many, and almost without exception, approved. The control of the corporation is in the hands of representatives of this Grand Lodge, and its Completion and operation to the highest point of

efficiency depends entirely upon the membership. The passage of this resolution will make the future of the Home secure and enable it to fulfill in a larger measure your obligations for relief. "As one of those who has devoted many years of service on the Board of Trustees, I most earnestly and sincerely solicit your support of th"e resolution with the assurance that economy in expenditure to obtain the highest efficiency will guide the deliberations of those in charge. The hopei of the pioneers of this project il:; about to be realized-do not let technicalities interfere, but as men and Masons realizing our duty to others, take advantage of this opportunity to enjoy the pleasure of giving."

We note that the resolution, however, failed of adoption. We take it, however, that this does not mean any lack of interest in the Masonic Home on the part of the Craft in general. Minnesota Freemasons will not let such a worthy institution languish for lack of funds, as long as such men as Brother Stewart ,Gamble is around. Grand Lodge Publication.

The Report on Correspondence is by Brother E. A.

sacred duties which are binding upon Masons everywhere. "Our mi~sion is: 'To do good to all men as we have opportunity, especially to them which are of the househ'old of faith.' "It is true, our privltte charities have been often distributed with a libcral hand to relieve the distressed. And ,the response has again and again gone up from our subordinate Lodges and Brethren of the Order, in the form of substantial help, to the widow and the orphan in the hour of ~eed. These facts are commendable and shall not be' wi thou t their reward. "Institutions of learning and asylums for the destitute and homeless have been founded by zealous, self-denying effort since the Grand Lodge of Mississippi was organized, and some of these owe no small part of their present stability to the material aid and moral l)~w('r received from the Masonic Frat'ernity of this State. "More than a centu.ry has passed away since the date of our organization. For more than 100 years we have met in annual Grand Communication. We number today over 36,402 Masons in the State, and yet, as a Grand Lodge, we can point to only three monuments, to-wit: Our Girls' Home at Meridian, Boys' Home at Columbus and T. B. Unit near Magee, Mississippi, reared by our own efforts, which shall announce to the world the result of our labors. "The good fruits of Masonry should not and cannot be confined within the tiled limits of the Lodge. The lessons taught there should be illustrated in the walk and consecration of Masons when abroad in the world, so that others, seeing our good works, shall be brought' to' respect our r>rofession and honor our Institution. "What the world demands of us is deeds, not words. And these we must perform if we would maintain our position as a Moral Institution in the land. As an Institution, therefore, known and recognized among men, we have our work to do. This work must ,not be left to others; neither must our charities be placed in their hands, by them to be dispensed according to their judgment. "The field of usefulness before us is inviting and is already rip~ to the harvest-we have but to thrust in the sickle and reap. The laborers in the field Masonic are abundant, and the fault will be ours if the harvest is not gathered in. Let us, then, as wise men and Masons, devise liberal things for the future.

so far as I know, Mississippi is the only State that is still refusing to resume Fraternal relations with that sister' Jurisdiction. Therefore, I think that the time has arrived when we should forget this difference and resume Fraternal relations with the Grand Jurisdiction of New Jersey."

In it, he said that he was installed Grand Master on June 21" 1876, at the age of 28 years. He further said, "I was the eleventh Grand Master, elected when I was a mere, boy, only 28 years old; yOU, Sir, are the sixtieth; forty have passed away.

(It seems to me that this correspondent has heard echoes of this visit, but as he is supposed only to set down those things that are proper to be recorded, he refrains from fu:1:her comment). Past Grand Master Charles A. Chappe,1I

presented the following new section of the law which was adopted: "That hereafter, no I,odge or Lodges shall establish a Masonic charitable institution, or undertake a continuing Masonic charitable work, or become obligated for continuing contributions for charitable purposes, nor shall any Lodge or Lodges, or person or persons, use the wor.d "Masonic," or other term indicating Masonic activities, regarding any such institution or work, which has not been established or approved by the Grand Lodge, Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons of Nebraska, without first having obtained the authority of t he Grand Lodge so to do; Provided, that the provisions of this section shall not apply to the Masonic Home for Children at Omaha, commonly known as the .James G.

By it, too, Masons are enabled to reflect on the -rise of society in the past and to view in retrospection the useful arts as they began to be shap~~d by the brain and hand of the earlier ,Workmen of the world."

eligible. I have given considerable thought to this matter, and some study as to what other Grand Jurisdictions are doing. At the last quarterly meeting of .The United Grand Lodge of New South 'Vales, the M. W. Grand Master, Br. John Coulston, brought in a very extensive report, and recommends important changes in the practice of the Grand Body. He says in part: 'It is also the policy of the Grand Lodge of New Zealand and of many Grand Lodges in the United States of America, and I have definite information that these Grand Lodges are accepting maimed candidates. It is interesting to know that this has been the practice of the Grand Lodge of England-the Mother Grand Lodge of the world-since 1857, for on June 23, 1857, Lieut.-Col. J. H: King was initiated in Lodge Prince of Wales, No. 259, under the Grand Lodge of England, he having lost an arm at the Battle of Inkerman in the Crimean \Var. I also understand that in February, 19'18, the Board of General Purposes of the Grand Lodge of England referred to that circular, and reported that 'acting upon the precedent set in reported cases,' it had prepared a new circular lettp.r 'carrying out the principles that have been accepted since the development of Operative into Speculative Freemasonry.' That circular was as follOWS: "'Representations have been made to the Board of General Purposes that cases of hardship may occur if no maimed but otherwise qualified man is allowed to become a Freemason. The Board feel that it is impossible to lay down a hard' and fast rule as to the initiation of a' candidate not perfect in his body, within the meaning of Article 4 of the Ancient Charges prefaced to the Book of Constitution; but they are of opinion that when a defect does not render the candidate incapable of learning our art, there is no reason why he should not be initiated, provided he is able to understand our signs and symbols, and to explain or exemplify them when properly called upon. " 'Each case of this description must be decided by the members of the Lodge, to whom the candidate is personally known, subject to the investigation and approval of the Master of the Lodge, who is officially' responsible that the candidate is in a condition to comply with the requirements above named, and subject in Provinces or Districts to the sanction of the Provincial or District Grand Master and elsewhere to the sanction of the Grand Master, after submission of the circumstances. "'As will be seen from the quotation from the circular of the Board of General Purposes of England, the matter of admitting incapacitated candidates is left generally to the Masters of the Lodges. Among the various Grand Lodges of Australia, some have al tered their Constitutions in this respect. I do not propose to follow that example" but believe that the capabilities of each candidate should betaken on their merits. and that no maimed candidates should be admitted without the authority of the Grand Master. " 'There remains the question of the use of our ritual in relation to .such candidates. It might in cases be impossible to adhere to the wording of the ritual, though not necessary to depart from its meaning in spirit. While, therefore, I consider we may receive applications from bodily defective candidates for admission, I think

Appendix.

[Oct.

the attention of Masters of Lodges should be drawn to the need for careful oversight in this matter in respect to every such candidate, and it appears to me best that a Master, when applying for leave to admit a defective applicant, should be reeIuired to show that he has adequately considered the actual course of the ceremony in regard to such applicant. Application for sanction to admit a maimed candidate must, therefore, be made by the "'V'. M. of the Lodge to the Grand Master, through the' Grand Secretary, on printed forms that will be supplied by the latter.' "Because of this changed view of so many English-speaking Grand Lodges, and !)articularly because of this circular of the Boa.rd of General Purposes- of The United Grand Lodge of England, I would reeommend to the Grand Lodge that in future this matter be left to the 'members of the Lodge to whom the application is made, subject t.o the approval of the Grand Master."

In his opening, the Grand Master makes extended reference in fitting terms to the Fraternal Dead, which include no less than three Past Grand Masters, all of them men of attainment. George Washington Memorial.

New Hampshire is making a wonderful record in this enterprise and the Grand Master closes his reference to it in the following terms: "During the collection and transmission of our assessment for the George Washington Masonic National Association, and since then, candidates who became Master Masons were overlooked, or our present standing would be 200 per cent. It will cost four millions of dollars. As you stand at the base a.nd gaze over its massive proportions and think of the man and Mason to whom it is a tribute, your heart fills with Masonic pride, realizing it is the greatest memorial ever erected" to mortal man."

Bibles.

The Grand' Master observes: "We refer to the Holy Bible as one of the three great lights and as the rule anu guide of our Masonic faith. Its teachings culminate in the universal fatherhood of God and brotherhood of man, as revealed through Him who is the way, the truth and the life. The object of Maspnry is the translation of God into the lives of men, "\vith the idea of making them co-workers with the Great Architect in carrying out His plans for the great human family. Knowing the existence of these truths and realizing their importance to the Craft, your Grand Master would urge the sUbordinate Lodges throughout the State to use an individual Bible for presentation purposes for each initiate, suitably inscribed as and for his own. Two or three pUblishers have published Bibles suitably illustrated, lexiconed and inscribed, which would be prized by any initiate as weU as being a pledge of OUI" sincerity in the business in which we are engaged."

D. D. G. M.'s Reports.

These occupy 32 pages of the Proceedings and are filled with interesting detail of local matters. Foreign Correspondence.

By far the most interesting portion of the volume of Proceedings is that which contains a Report on Foreign Correspondence, written of course by that prince among men P. G. M. Harry IV!. Cheney-"the man with a red neck tie!" In submitting the "'report, he has this to say: "This is my twentieth annual and successive report to you, submitting what is commonly I{IlOWn as the Correspondence.. Why it was given such a name l'do not care. Probably it is just as fitting as any other. But, that word twentieth is suggestive, primarily that I am now an old one. Yes, there are a choice few who- are older in the work, but the bulk of the writers of these reports are behind me in their years of service. Even that occasions no feelings. It only means that not far ahead, somebody else will be doing this work "fOr my much beloved Brethren. "But, I have had a wonderful time doing it. A lot of corners have been smoothed and it has been the cause of much inspiration. This you may never know by reading 'what I have prepared for you. I wish that everyone of you could catch the enlarged vision that has come to me. It is this that has made it worth the while. "I ask you to read what follows. It is written for you. When you have read it, you have exercised a Masonic privilege."

In his review of Missouri, Brother Cheney embarrasses us with his kindness. Speaking of our Report, he says: "The Correspondence is such a masterly product that it makes us grieve that New Hampshire is not in it. But such is the' case this time, probably made necessary by the late arrival of our publication

Watres of Pennsylvania; Past Grand Master Arthur D. Prince , of Massachusetts, and Grand Secretary, W. W. Willson, of North Carolina. Grand Master's Address.

In opening the Grand Master said: "Brethren: Again we have met according to agreement, this time on the first day of the month Zif. March, when the sun was in the sign of Aries or the Lamb, being the first month of the ancient holy year, April is of necessity the second-the zodiacal month begins on the twenty-first. "Pursuant to the established custom, I submit herewith my report for the Masonic year now closing, together with a comparative absence of recommendations. The omission of recommendations is intentional; first, because nothing imminent or urgent of a legislative nature seems to demand attention and action, and second, because as my active operative control now closes, I should hesitate to initiate plans, courses or projects, the carrying out of which might tend to impose undue burden on the incoming Grand Master. The logic of this situation seems to me to be with those Grand Lodges, such as PennsYlvania, whose incoming Grand Master makes his own report and recommendations. The power of initiating legislation through appropriate resolution is, of course, always inherent in the Grand Lodge as such. "The year, Masonically, has been one of peace and prosperity.

The extensive growth, both in members and new Lodges, so significant and insistent the past several years, continues unabated. This condition presents serious problems for consideration, and to them reference will later be made."

Foreign Relations.

The Grand Master says that: "With but one ex'ception amicable relations continue with all other Jurisdictions with which ~:ve exchange representatives; the exception is that of the Grand Orient of Haiti. "In your annual communication of 1921, upon reference to the subject by M. '\V. Brother Prick itt and a favorable report by your Committee on Foreign Correspondence, recognition of the Grand Lodge of Haiti was voted. A request for formal recognition and exchange of representatives had been re'ceived from Haiti, indicating the use of the title Grand Lodge instead of Grand' Orient. "The committee report (page 281, Proceedings 1921) included this paragraph: 'Formal fraternal relations and exchange of representatives with the Grand Lodge of Haiti will be conducive to improved conditions in that Republic and of much consequence to a considerable number of Brethren from sister Jurisdictions in North America, now residents there, and is therefore recommended.' "In 1916, the Republic of Haiti had ratified a treaty by which there was established a poli tical and fiscal protectorate by the United States over Haiti for a period of twenty years.' "The conditions which prompted the hope of those American Masons that recognition of a Grand Lodgp there would prorp.ote a sense of fraternity, have not materialized, and during this year a peremptory demand has been received from the Grand Orient of Haiti that we memorialize the United States Government to discontinue the treaty and withdraw from the territory. Other facts have come to the knowledge of your Committee on Foreign Correspondence, which, upon investigation and a careful examination of the Constitutif')n of the Grand Orient and its Proceedings for the year 1924, when brought to my attention, leave me in no doubt that a mistake was made in 1921 in according recognition to this Masonic iJ/'ganization, and I recommend that such recognition be withdrawn."

I<'urther aid of this nature will doubtless be necessary, and I am sure you Grand Master will feel perfect freedom to meet this or any other like need that may arise before' we meet again. "Many of our subordinate Lodges have drawn on th'e Masonic Service Association for speakers as desired, and I am sure, indeed, our Craft is now awake to the truth that an unenlightened Craft is like unto a candle beneath a ~ushel. "Nothing, perhaps, is more discouragingly slow than general education. It means an individual effort which each must make for himself. Emerson has said, 'Man is as lazy as he dares' to be,' and many men dare greatly when it. comes to seeking- real knowledge. "Many times through the rolling ages, Masonry has risen to great heights of attainment, and then again fallen into comparative desuetude. If we are to long postpone the recurring descent, it must be through the great work of education, enlightenment and understanding, all of which are provided by the Masonic Service Association for the asking. , "New Jersey was again honored at the annual meeting in Chicago through t.he unanimous re-election of Most Worshipful Brother Andrew Foulds, Jr., who was unexpectedly called away early in the session, as chairman of the Executive Commission for 'another year. Most Worshipful Brother William L. Daniels was c.ontinued as a member of the Executive Commission for this district. The. annual session, which was of great interest and importance, has been fully reported in The Master Mason,' and is familiar to all those sufficiently interested to read of Masonry's greatest practical co-operative effort, looking to education and relief. "New Jersey may well feel an honest pride in its J}Qsitioh in the van of this great endeavor. I recommend that our Grand Lodge continue its membership in and support of the Masonic Service Association, and that the usual appropriation of $12,000.00 be made for the work of our committee for the ensuing Grand Lodge year. "The educational program will be covered in the report of our Masonic Service Committee. I desire, however, at this time to pay tribute to the faithful, devoted, loyal and excellent effort of Hight \Vorshipful Brother Rev. A. Boylan FitzGerald, Grand Chaplain, who has carried the torch from end to end of our State. Scores of letters from Worshipful Masters of our Lodges have told me with glowing enthusiasm of the deep appreciation of our Brethren to whom this devoted effort has proved of lasting benefit.

and spirit of these gatherings, as well as the reasoning and motives of enacted legislation. Perhaps no one but the most faithful and devoted Grand Secretary, Isaac Cherry, and my most loyal and helpful personal secretary, Harry W. Reilly, will ever know what was involved in the first three months' effort of informing the hun~ dreds of non-attending, non-interested Masons as to what had been done, and the rights and powers of this Body. "It is for you to decide what edicts you will make. But it is for your Grand Master to see that your edicts are obeyed. \Ve have sought to deal with the situation with the utmost gentleness, but with such force as the occasion demanded. "Ours is a representative government not to be confused with mob rule, a point not generally emphasized ih this day and age. "The assessment recommended and adopted .last year was not limited as to period. I am 'credibly informed, however, that resolutions dealing with the subject a~e to be offered at this session, arid they will be made the order of business at three-thirty o'clock this a f.ternoon."

This matter was threshed out on the floor of the Grand Lodge and the following resolution was adopted: "He it resolved, That the Grand Lodge Bulletin adopted at the One Hundred and' Thirty-eighth Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of New Jersey be continued under the same terms and conditions as during the past year, except that where more than one copy of said Bulletin now goes or hereafter may go to more than one member of a family (members of the same Lodge) at or to the same address, the members concerned may, by request in writing to the Secretary of the Lodge to which they belong, agree upon the member or members to whom said Bulletin shall be addressed and who shall be charged therefor, full notice whereof shall be given to the Gl'and Secretary; and be it further "R(~sohed, That the Grand Master. of the Grand Lodge of New .Tersey shall arrange for the editing and publbhing' of the Grand Lodge Bulletin. and any expense in connection therewith shall be paid from the Masonic Service appropriation."

FORTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL COMMUNICATION. Held at Roswell, N. M., February 15, 1926. Grand Master's Address. In this, the Grand Master recommends that the Grand Lodge continue its relief work at Ft. Bayard and Ft. Staunton, and that the Committee limit itself hereafter to the So-journers Club at Ft. Bayard, and tb;at a separate committee handle the affairs of the Trowel Club at Ft. Staunton. $7,723.81 were distributed for relief among the membp.rship and wards of the Lodges. Masonic Tubercular Sanatorium.

The wonderful piece of work undertaken by the Lodge, and national in scope, stands as a monument to the genius of the Committee in charge; closing a comprehensive report, the Committee says: "In the steps already taken by the Grand Jurisdiction of New Mexico, she has acquired a responsibility that cannot very well be shirked. She has taken the lead in pleading for action on behalf of our Masonic tuberculars, and she is now looked to by other Grand Jurisdictions as the one to point the way for successfully undertaking this work. To be consistent, she must set an example of supporting the work that is in keeping with her financial ability; and we, therefor-e, recommend that a liberal appropriation, preferably on a per capita basis, be made by this Grand Lodge for the work of the National Masonic Tuberculosis Sanatoria Association for the coming year. The immediate need for finanei3! support is for ol'ganization and publicity expenses and the continuance of survey and investigational work; the latter need is for direct tubercular relief purposes and the erection of suitable accommodations for the care an!i cure of tuberculars. We commend this question to the careful consideration of this Grand Lodge at this time, to the end that definite action may be taken' at this Annual Communication. "The problem of Masonic Tubercular Relief grows as it is studied. A little thought will reveal how closely it touches the lives of the wives, widows and relatives of the members of our Fraternity; how great is the toll they pay, year after year, in sorrow and distress, because of failure of our Fraternity to meet this problem. It is a problem that can never be satisfactorily solved, if, in meeting it,

we are to muddle along as separate Gnlnd Jurisdictions. The crippled children's hospital movement would have languished for many years had it not been conducted as a united undertaking. Our problem of Tubercular Relief .is far wider ,in scope and results, in its direct effect on the economic fortunes of our Fraternity; and it can never be properly met unless we unite in the undertaking. One condition that is peculiar to this problem is the migratory habits of those afflicted by tuberculosis, who move, so often, from place to place in search of health-always have and always will; and this is one additional reason for united rather than individual action as Grand Jurisdictions. "Masonry, to be effective in her work, must be reasonably modern a nd business-like in her methods. In her major activities she cannot function at her best by the old-fashioned plan of separate, highly individualized small units. Without raising the bogey of a General Grand Lodge, surely there are brains enough, vision enough, common sense enough for her to see that this problem of Tubercular Relief offers an opportunity for the Blue Lodge Masonry of our country to unite in to one well-organized force under that banner of Relief that stirs the heart of every true Mason, to undertake, and to complete, by efficien t methods, this Masonic job, so long neglected, and now so necessary and urgent. Only' by united effort, by joining hands from coast to coast, the larger Jurisdictions with the small, by a pooling of the brains and intelligence of our Fraternity generally, can this worl;: be accomplished."

The Grand Lodge adopted the recommendations of the Committee. Foreign Correspondence.

This report is from the pen of Brother John Milne and is a document of unusual interest. In his "conclusion" Brother Milne says: "There are now more than 3,000,000 Master Masons in the United States of America. One cannot help' but visualize the wonderful t.hings that this body of men could accomplish, if t.hey were guided by the high ideals of Masonry and would accept leadership. Most certainly "law and order" would again reign in our country, if this group willed it so. Perhaps !-he Bootleggers' Association would object on the ground that t.he Masons are not supposed to dabble in politics, but if we made no more of an impression than we have thus far with our efforts to get a Federal Department of Education, the bootleggers' who need to worry about what we will do to 路them, are still in knee pants or are yet unborn."

Missouri receives fraternal consideration in which Brother Milne says "MisSQuri does a world of work, but nothing of a sensational nature happens in the Proceedings."

Grand Master's Address.

The Grand Master mentions that he has received much co-operation during the year and rejoices that the Grand Lodge is such a happy and harmonious Body. He says: "Freemasonry is a life to be lived, and not a formality to be perfunctorily observed. It is a life to be lived, not a set of empty creeds to which lip service is given. It is a life grounded in religion, organized in morality, mellowed by good fellowship, humanized in charity and dedicated to service."

The Grand Master makes fitting reference to the Fraternal Dead of his own and sister Grand Jurisdictions. The Grand Master wishes that he had abiLty to pay adequate tribute to the Masonic Home at Utica, and sets forth it's many and varied spheres of usefulness. The Grand Master says that the Foreign Correspondence Department carried on its work throughout the year by voluminous correspondence, but that there are now conditions arising that call for personal contact or investigation at first hand, and hopes that the Committee will find it. ,in its power to see that this is done as conditions may require.

Clandestinism.

The Grand Master says: "So far as Symbolic Masonry is concerned, we may safely say tlht clandestinism is no longer a serious menace in this State. The publicity given to the conviction of fraud of several of the m'ore brazen individuals who have been merchandising their spurious wares as being Masonic, has had a wholesome effect. The public 'is fairly well informed that the only rightful and sovereign Masonic authority in this State is the Gr3.nd Longe of New York. The ignorant may continue to be imposed upon, and such as could never find admi~sion to our Lodges may pay for worthless wares that are offered them as 'genuine Masonry,' but it would be futile to attempt to keep these from being' parted from their money. 'Ve have done our duty toward the outside public by exposing false cla}.ms and bringing to the attention of the civil prosecuting aut,horities any evidences of deception of the unwary. In this respect I am happy to say that the situation is well in hand, and we shall continue to keep a ...v atchful eye on the field."

French Masonry.

The Grand Master says: "Official notice has come to me that a number of American Masons, initiated, passed and raised in regular Lodges in the United States, but now residing in France, have formed in the City of Paris an -,American Lodge, No. 584,' under a charter from the Grand Lodge of Franee, a body which, under our laws,' is irregular and clandestine. The Brethren of our Lodges should be cautioned that they cannot visit that Lodge nor hold Masonic intercourse with the members thereof, without violating their Masonic obligation to our Constitution and thereby becoming guilty of a Masonic offense. "We all realize that it would be most desirable, for many cogen t reasons, that Grand Lodge might have official relations with some Masonic authority ill. France,. which in all respects meets the tests established by Grand Lodge as a minimum condition for fraternal correspondence. "In order that we may have all the essential facts concerning French Masonry clearly before us, I shall ask the Committee on Foreign Correspondence to make a full investigation and then report their re'commendations to Grand Lodge next year."

In General.

The Grand Master speaks of the necessity for a financial reconstruction of the Grand Lodge system. The question of plural membership is also made a matter of discussion. Distinguished Visitors.

R. W. Ossian Lang, Grand Historian presented a magnifice11t report which is printed in full in the Proceedings. Foreign Correspondence.

This report is one of the most complete to come to our table and was presented by P. G. M. S. Nelson Sawyer for the Committee. In the "Foreword", he says: "We cannot emphasize too strongly tpe value of the contents of this report to students of contemporary Ma50nic thought and action, the world over. May we sugg-est to the Worshipful Masters that they invite interested and competent Brethren to select from this report such items as may impress them most and then to pass these on to the Lodge. By a proper division of the material everything contained in this report may be presented, during the year, in spirited ten-to-twenty-minute' talks, one at each Lodge communication. We believe that .such procedure wili be found an effective and helpful means for promoting Masonic interest and understanding, and that it ought to contribute to the attractiveness of the regular communications." '

And again: "One practical subject which stands out before all others, as of ,greatest present concern to many American Grand Lodges, is the abnormally large loss caused by dimissions arid by suspensions for non-payment of dues. Both classes of losses of members, at bottom, are traceable to two causes: One is carelessness in the admission of candidates who lack the qualities essential to a proper a.ppreciation of Masonry; the other is inadequate attention, on the pal~t of many Lodges, to k,~eping their membership interested in Masonry by a convincing exemplification. in spirit and in fact as well as in form, of the teachings and worthwhilencss of the BrotherIlood." .

Missouri is accorded four pages of fullest review, and in addition, two full-page cuts of our great Temple in St. Louis commemorating its dedication in October, last. The Report is comprehensive and the comments thereon sympathetic and kindly. Especially do we tender thanks for the kind words concerning our Report.

Another Brother, wished to know whether the mover meant the production of the last receipt the v,isitor held, or a receipt for the current year's dues. The motion seemed to be ultra vires under Rule 1'23 of the Book of Constitution, which said: uNo brother permanently residing in the Dominion who has ceased to be a sub路 scribing member of a Lodge shall be permitted to visit anyone Lodge more than three times, until he again becomes a subscribing member of some Lodge." That provision seemed to meet the case. In America it was customary for a visitor to produce the receipt for his current year's dues as well as his certificate, but that was a precaution against the many clandestine Lodges in the United States.

It seemed to him that we were putting too much restriction upon visiting. Two years ago he visited 16 or 18 Lodges in the United

Kingdom, and in no case was he examIned or asked for his diploma, being always pres8nt 1?y invitation. While he considered the production of the certificate, and also an examination, absolutely necess'ary, there was no need to Americanize our Lodges. Production of the current receipt for dues was unne8e3S:lry. Still another Brother did not thipk the motion was in a practicable form. There was in New Zealand a large amOU:lt of visiting by unattached brethren who were simply "knife-and-fork Masons" --men who had not belonged to any Lodge for many years. Evidently the idea of the mover was to meet that difficulty. Machinery should be provided for dealing with those men, but he did not, think the present motion would serve the purpose. The Board oi General Purposes might well consider the matter in the co:nlng year. Crand lnstallation.

M. W. Brother Benjamin W. Beach, Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Virginia, accompanied by Brother Cliff, Grand Lecturer of the Grand Lodge of Virgini,a. Replying to the welcome extended to him, Grand Master Beach told the following stories. He started off by saying that Danville came pretty near being in North Carolina. He inferred it in this way: "When William Byrd

North Carolina, he was following Dan River as a line and he got up to Milton and tied up there. Well, Byrd got drunk there and after he got sober, he swore that from that day on he would go straight and he left the river and cut straight across. (Laughter and applause.) My position just now reminded me somewhat of an old sailor, captain of a sailing vessel. He was fearfully wicked and very r,ough with his men, and they were as afraid of him as of lightning. The boat got caught in a storm one day near the coast and was driven right on the rocks.. This old fellow cur.sed, swore, pulled and hauled and did everything he eould think of and the boat kept drifting on to the rocks. He turned around to the crew finally and said: 'You all do the best you can, I am going to pray.' They all fell back aghast that he would pray. He dropped down on his knees and said: 'Oh, Lord, I know ,you can keel) this boat off of those rocks, but I'll be damned if I can see how you are going to do it.' (Laughter.) I am supposed to make you a speech, Brethren, but I'll be durned if I see how I am going to do it. {Laughter.)"

Grand Master's Address.

On account of the untimely death of the Grand Master, M. W. Jo'hn E. Cameron, who :r;assed away March 28, 1926, it fell to the lot of the Deputy Grand Master to assume the government of the Craft. His address is a worthy document setting forth the various items connected with his administration in splendid detail. Broth~r

Oxford Orphanage.

In reviewing the Proceedingf:) of North Carolina, we always turn with pleasure to' the Report of the Directors of this worthy institution. We excerpt some items therefrom which speak for themselves: "It will. be noted that the general fund receipts for the year ending October 31, 1926, were $175,207.35, whereas, the receipts for the year ending October 31, 1925, $159,984.29, thus showing an increase in these receipts for the year 1926 of $15,223.06, over the. year 1925. "The a.verage number of children cared for during the year 1926 was 409, as against 383 cared for during t,he year, 1925, showing an increase for the year 1926 of twenty-six, and at the close of the fiscal year, October 31, 1926, there were 415 children in the Institution. "By the exercise of good judgment on the part of our Superintendent in purchasing t]le supi)]ies necessary for the maintenance of the children, the per capita cost of such maintenance for the year 1926 was $339.,51; as compared with $349.69 for the year 1925, or a decrease in per capita cost of $10.18. "In connection with the above statistics we desire to call your attention to some figures g:i.thered from the records of the Orphanage for the year 190G-just twenty years ago-as follows: the total \

receipts for the fiscal year ending October 31, 1906, including State and Grand Lodge Appropriations, contributions from Masonic Lodges and Masons and otner citizens, cnurches,. schools, Sunday Schools, proceeds from Singing Class and various other items, such as subscriptions, advertisements and job work of "Orphans' Friend," and receii)ts from Woodworking Establishment, Shoe Shop, interest, earnings of boys in furniture factoryz farm produce, and meals and provisions sold, were only $45,070.70, and the total number of children cared for in the Institution during the year, 1906, was 280, as compared with '115 now in the Institution. Receipts from Singing Class Concerts during the year, 1906, were $8,440.00, and for the year, 1926, these receipts amounted to $35,904.36. The appropriation from the Grand Lodge in 1906 was $3,500.00, and the appropriation from the State for the same\ year was $10,000.0'0. Masonic Lodges for the year, 1906, contributed a .total of only $3,364.31, and the contributions from Masons and other citizens were $1,173.14, whereas, during the year, 1926, appropriations by the Grand Lodge and the State were $50,000.00 and $30,000.00 respectively, and the contributions from the Masonic Lodges, Masons and other citizens during 1926 were more than $30,000.00. "We are calling attention to these figures to the end that you may know that a generous public has responded to the needs of your Institution with a cheerfulness and liberality characteristic of an enlightened and Christian citizenship; and in this connection we should not lose sight of the fact that the calls on the benevolent citizens of the State have largely increased within the past few years. These figures, in our opinion, speak in eloquent terms of the interest of the Brethren in our Institution, as well as the hearty u!lproval of the citizens of the State of the work being done at Oxford."

State of the Craft.

Speaking, of this, the Grand Master says: "'Oh wad some power the giftie gie us To see ourselves as others see us It wad frae mony a blunder free us and foolish notion.' â&#x20AC;˘ "Brethren, let's quit fooling ourselves and look facts in the face. What is the state of the Craft? We are in the same state of stagnation we have been for years. Here and there we find a bright spot-an Oasis in the desert-but generally throughout the State Masonry is asleep, and in many places, dead-waiting to be buried. ' "Looking back over the addresses of our Grand Masters in the past, I find in each a hopeful tone-a'n ever looking forward to a time when things will be better. "What is the remedy? Oh, for a Moses to lead .us out of the wilderness of indifference and inaction. "But Brethren, we will remain in ,that wilderness until you and I, and all the Brethren, learn once more the lessons of Masonry, and reconsecrate ourselves to the service.'"

In this we note the following paragraphs: "Under date of February 4, 1926, the good wife of our much beloved Grand Secretary wrote me in sUbstance, as follows: That on January 12th she had turned over to the Grand Lodge Library a bond in the sum of $100, together with a four volume set of Washington's Diaries as the initial gift for what she hoped the. Grand Lodge would accept and establish as the Walter L. Stockwell Fund. That if the Grand Lodge saw fit to accept the gift, it was her intention to turn over each year securities to the a'mount of $100, until the total sum rea'ches at least $500, the interest each year to be invested in books for the Grand Lodge Library, such books to bear a suitable book plate indicating that they belong to the Walter L. Stockwell collection. Also that she will probably continue the practice of adding enough to the interest each year to purchase some suitable volume until the fund reaches the full amount, in which case it is anticipated it will'take care of the additions each year. She further stated that she has had this in mind for some time and this year made it a part of her husband's birthday remembrance, I,nowing full well that nothing would please him as much as to feel that he was sharing' his gift with others.

Master Mason Lecture:

The Grand Master introduces the following, which ii{ of unusu3.1 interest to the Craft at large:

"At the Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge held in .June, 1920, legislation was enacted making it o1;>ligatory upon. all Master Masons raised after Jui y 1, 1920, to pass a. satisfactory examination upon the lecture of the Master Mason Degree. This leg-islation was strengthened in 1922 by the adoption of a report of the Jurisprudence Committee, and as the matter now stands all newly raised Brethren are not only barred from voting, holding office in the Lodge or dimitting therefrom, but they are not entitled to a current dues card until such examination has been passed. It is my understanding that a number of Lodges accept dues from the newly raised Brethren prior to the issuance of a card of proficiency and pay the Grand Lodge per capita upon them as members. "The matter was brought to my attention a short time ago and I requested the Secretaries of the constitutent Lodges to give me the total number of Master Masons raised gince July 1, 1920, and the number who have not yet passed a satisfactory examination upon the lecture of the Master Mason Degree. With 32 of the 127 Lodges in the jurisdiction not yet heard from, I find that 3,407 Ma.st.er Masons have been raised since July 1, 1920, and that of this number 842 have not yet. passed an examination upon the lecture of the Master Mason Degree. The law apparently is incapable of enforcement, and with nearly a thousand Brethren raised in this jurisdiction who are not yet entitled to be ,considered as Master Masons, I would respectfully recommend that the legislation be repealed. It is my humble opinion that Masonic education will do more toward making these Brethren real Masons than drastic legislation of this character will ever accomplish. . "This subject was referred to the Committee on Jurisprudence, who submitted the following report, which in effect places the responsibility on the Master, thereby relieVing the Lodge: "The investigation of the Grand Master and his report with reference to the passing of the examination of the lecture of the Master Mason's Degree reveals an unsatisfactory state of affairs. If this condition continues there will soon be an alarming number of Brethren who have been raised to the Sublime Deg-ree of Master Mason in this Jurisdiction who cannot be considered in any respect as Master Masons under our present legislation, even to the holding of a current dues card. The purpose of this legislation was commendable in that its intent was the education of newly raised Brethren, but it has evidently failed in the accomplishment of its object. We recognize the value of each newly raised Brother learning the Master Mason's lecture, but believe the resPQj?.-sibility of

doing this should be placed directly upon the Worshipful Master of the Constituent Lodge. "We recommend that the by-laws be amended, placing this responsibility directly upon the Worshipful Master and that it shall be his duty to fix a date when such Brother shall appear for examination on this lecture, and if for any good reason such Brother cannot appear in open Lodge then the examination may be conducted by the WorshipfUl Master or before any other Master Mason appoin ted by him. "\Ve r:ecommend the repeal of all penalties applicable to the newly raised Brother, and that all Master Masons -raised prior to , this date, and who have not passed such an examination, be declared healed. "It will be noted from the above, that since the adoption of this law in 1920, 3,407 Master Masons were raised, and out of that number 842 were never required to pass the examination as provided in tlleir law. This means that about twenty-five per cent under this regulation are enjoying all the- privileges of a Master Mason notwithstanding this law, Qr are deprived' of voting, holding office in a Lodge or dimitting therefrom and are not entitled to a card receipt for dues."

Walter L. Stockwell . .Brother Stockwell's report is as usual splendidly compiled and concludes with路 the fOllowing: "Last year we gave this orally. We refrain from any lengthy preachment at this time. We are路 profoundly grateful to our Brethren for the continuance of your favor and confidence. The years are passing. It is thirty-four years since we first attended this Grand Lodge. At that time we little thought it would ever be our privilege to have any part in its work or history. Nearly half that number of years we have been your Grand Secretary. Twenty-four years ago you honored us with an election as Grand Master. In all these years '''Ie have had one aim and ambition and that was to make Freemasonry a more influential factor in the lives of our members and incidentally help raise the standards of manhood and citizenship in our commonwealth. How much has been accomplished we 'do not presume to say. History alone will reveal. We have done what we could."

The M. W. William J. Ewing, Grand Master of Quebec; M. W. Brother C. R. Smith and George D. MacDougall also accompanied him. Grand Master's Address.

This is a concise document, and is a clear and forceful presel;tation of his official acts. Among other good things, he has this to say: "I esteem it a pleasure, indeed, to welcome each and everyone to this, our Sixty-first Annual Communication, where Brotherly love should reign supreme. There are many reasons why we, as men and Masons, should love and respect Masonry; but the principal one is because it stands for everything that tends towards the building up of manly men, good, broad-minded, square-acting men. V{e may be weak, but Masonry is strong. We may be timid, but Masonry is fearless. We may grow weary-Masonry needs no rest. We may lose heart-Masonry knows not despair. Therefore, with Masonry to support, to sustain and to encourage, we can conquer, even as Buddha subdued the evil spirit in the days long before the smile of a loving Christ lighted up the darkness of the world. '楼e need stalwart Masons, so steadfast in the faith that they will uphold the teachings of the Craft at an times, in and out of the Lodge room. Masons who will see the inner meaning of the obligations of, Masonry, and who will carry out those obligations with charity to all-not only in the spirit of charity, as we use that word today, but also in the sense in Which St. Paul used it, and as modern translators use it, to mean lOve and good will. I urge you to think of the~e things, for I earnestly believe that 'Love and good will' are the keynote to all the teachings of our Divine Master. It is not what we can get out of Masonry that will count-rather it is what you, through the collective influence of the Lodge, can give to the community in which you live. Masonry has high ideals, so that we can always command and retain the respect of our friends and neighbors."

In his reference to the Fraternal Dead the Grand Master uses the following beautifUl stanzas:

"The leaves of the oak and willow shall fade, Be scattered around, and together be laid; And the young and the old, and the low and the high, Shall moulder to dust and together shall lie. "So the multitude goes, like the flower and the weed, That wither away to let others succeed; , So the multitude comes, even those we behold, To repeat every tale that has often been told."

Foreign Correspondence. This report is again from the versatile pen of our good Brother James C.' Jones. In his foreword he says: "I have the honor to pl'esent my twelfth annual review of the Proceedings of Sister Jurisdictions and at the request of one mem. ber of the 'RoundTable' I would say that it is to M. W. Brother Charles R. Smitll, K. C., Past G. Master, I am continually indebted for valuable assistance always so cheerfully given in making up my Report. "If each Grand Representative would do his duty路 (and which he should consider a privilege), the Reviewor of Fraternal Correspondence would only 路have to sum up as it were, the salient points brought out in the various reviews, which would intensely add to the value and interest of his report. "We have arrived at the point where we believe that in all . Jurisdictions Subordinate Lodges are more or less taking stock and weeding out a lot of dead wood and endeavoring .to see to it that only men willing to become Freemasons, and not merely members of the Craft, are admitted. "A movement in which we are very heartily in sympathy."

This seems to hav'e been the laying of the cornerstone of the new Masonic Temple at Cincinnati of which \ve are told: "The new Temple building is located on Fifth Street, extending from Sycamore to Broadway, in Cincinnati, covering an area o.f 417 feet in length by 186 feet in width. The east wing, facing Broadway, is designed as an auditorium for the A. A. S. R.Masonic . Bodies. The west wing, adjoining Sycamore Street, is designed for the ceremonies of the N. M. Shrine and public functions. The .central section of the building is planned to accommodate York Rite Masonry in all degreeR, having a specially designed room each for the Knights Templar and Royal Arch ceremonies. In this central Rection are also four rooms for Blue Lodges, and on a separate floor a room for the accommodation of Eastern Star Chapters. "The central section of the building extends approximately thirty-five feet in elevation above the east and west wings, and the facade projects two and one-half feet in front of these wings. The cornerstone was placed in the geographical northeast corner of the central or York Rite section."

Over 9,00101 Master Masons were in the parade; and over 18,0{)0 Masons and citizenE! donated the funds for buying the ground and erecting the building, the cost being in excess of $3,500,000.

Our response has always been prompt wherever Masonic assistance was necessary. As far as this is possible we prefer , to exercise this generosity ourselves directly, rather than to delegate it to any other outside agency no matter how able or willing such assistance might be on otir behalf. "As to educati'onal work we are satisfied, as has proven so often to be the case, that anything of this. sort will be open to criticism when conducted by an organization not directly under the control of our Grand Lodge. Examples of this kind of thing that have ,come to us show that serious differences of opinion will easily arise over the merits of so-called educational essays. There is every reason

'\-'hy we should be wary of sending printed information to our Brethren unless this is prepared by ourselves under the direction of the .Grand Lodge of Ohio. "During the past few years the Masonic Service Association has not increased its membership of Jurisdictions, and on the other hand has decreased in number. We will not go into the reasons for this decline, or for the fact that some States, as in the case of Iowa, extremely zealous and confident during earlier stages, have expressed doubts about the wisdom of the undertaking as it has developed. "Seeing no benefit in joining the Masonic Service Association which could not come to us through our present facilities, and also noting some obvious disadvantages, we recommend that the Grand Lodge of Ohio does not affiliate with the Masonic Service Association."

Grand Historian.

Brother C. S. Plumb in a carefully prepareq report on his survey of Masonic Education in Ohio has this panl.graph which we excerpt: "For many years it was impossible for Masonic Lodges in Ohio, as well as in various other States, to do more than maintain the elementary requirements of the work and conduct it properly. Even up to a period following the Civil War problems of Masonic education seemed practically impossible. But it must 'be conceded that for a period of at least fifty years, up to 1925, Freemasonry has offered attractive fields of study to those who might become interested. For approximately two hundred' years there have been important contributions to Masonic literature, and during -the past century in America. the scholars of the Craft have played a significant part in furnishing a more comprehensive knowledge of the subject. In this day and generation, when such great sums are spent on education and the development of libraries, it would seem very路 appropriate that a goodly number of the members of our Lodges should be in teres ted in phases of the work not found in the Ritual or Code."

Foreign Correspondence.

This is the seventh report to come from the pen of P. G. M. O. P. Sperra and contains much valuable and interesting matter. We note his kindly references to Missouri and appreciate very highly his fraternal sentiments. Concluding report, Brother Sperra says: "In brief the Masonic status and conditions prevailing in most of the Grand Jurisdictions are very desirable. While Freemasonry boasts of its great extent and the constant increase and enlargement of its membership, the situation appears to prevail that the added responsibilities thus developed and incurred are being met with decided and co,nservative favorable action. Any form of opposition and encroachm'ent is being met with decisive action and followed by commensurate results. Therefore the word "can't" does not appear

to be a part of th~ Masonic vocabulary, and in view of this conclusion on our part we quote from the distinguished poet and Mason, Edgar A. Guest, the following: "Can't is (he word that is foe to ambition, An enemy ambushed to shatter your will; Its prey is forever the man with a mission, And bows but to courage and patience and skill. Hate is with hatred that's deep and undying. For once it is welcomed 'twill break any man; Whatever the goal you are seeki'ng, keep trying And answer this demon by s~ying: 'I can'."

esting. Here is one which relates to organizations which require membership in a Lodge as a pre-requisite for admission. The "grossly un-Masonic ~onduct" of certain of these organizations compels the Grand Master to say that "action by the Grand Lodge for, their suppression will become a matter of necessity in the not , distant future. The following edict was issued by the Grand Master under date of March 10th, 1927: CONTROL OF MASONIC ,AFFILIATION OF MEMBERS. "Under date of March 19, 1927, the Grand Master of Pennsylvania issued the following important Edict: ' . . " ' "Whereas, The establishment and' continued existence of certain org-anizations or associations which require Masonic affiliation as a pre-requisite to or qualification for membership therein has not in ured to the benefit of Freemasonry; and, "Whereas, The first duty of the Brethren is to this Grand Lodge, and the divided allegiance to which they subject themselves bymembership in such organizations, creates a condition inimical to Freemasonry, and in violation of the Laws, Usages and Customs of the Fraternity in this Jurisdiction; and, ."Whereas, The Grand Lodge. possesses, retains and exercises the right to restrict. and cont"rol the use of their Masonic affiliation, made or attempted to be made by its members.

The Committee on Clandestine Masonry appointed some time ago, has begun an action against an organization whichs,tyles itself "The Grand Lodge of A~cient Free and Accepted Masons of Pennsylvania," with headquarters in Pittsburgh. We shall watch the outcome of this, with great interest, as it will establish whether the law in Pennsylvania protects the Supreme Authority of the "Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania in all Masonic matters, there." In General.

Reports from the Lodges indicate quite an advance in bringing down' the expenditures for banquets and social' affairs.

The position of Pennsylvania with regard to the Masonic Service Association is interesting. Grand Master states that the Association has q.eparted from the devout purposes for which it was founded. He had hoped for a change for the better, and this hope had kept Pennsylvania within the organization, but he now finds that Pennsylvania's "only function seems to have been the payment into its Treasury of its annual assessments". He also mentions that the membership of the Association now represents "less than onethird of the Masonic population of the United 'States." Under date of July 26, th.e Grand Master gave notice to the Association that unless certain adjustments were made, Pennsylvania would have to ",ithdra w; and on November 18th the Grand' Lodge did formally withdraw. Reporting this, the Grand Master says: "The outcome of our negotiations with the Association is a matter of sincere regret. There is need for an association of Grand Lodges, conducted on the lines as originally devised, and none would be stronger in its support, if so conducted, than this Grand Lodge. It is evident, however, that its wide divergence from the original plans has not had the approval of the majority of the Grand Lodges of the United States. It has steadily grown weaker, in recent years, by the withdrawal of member Grand Lodges, and is. now composed of but twenty-two Grand Lodges, with an individual membership of but about one-fourth of the Masonic population of the country. "This' Grand Lodge will welcome the time, as undoUbtedly will numbers of our Sister Grand Lodges, when, recognizing the situation, the Association will return to a simple, 'easily-workable program, in which ever.y. Grand Lodge in the Union may have an active part, to the lasting "benefit of the Craft."

A Great Bereavement.

We regret to record the passing of Past Grand Master Brother George B. Orlady, who for so many years has been an outstanding figure in the affairs of the State of Pennsyl~ania, of his Lodge, ana the Grand Lodge. In the State, as a justice of the Superior Court, he made a record that has been equalled by few, and he had the esteem and respect of all with whom he camB in contact, as a just judge and a wise councilor. As a member of the Fraternity, and an Official in Lodge and Grand Lodge, he made a deep impress on the history of the Craft. . He was a Mason for more than fifty year路s, and in recognition of his unusual ability, he became Worshipful Master of his Lodge in the fourth year of his membership. He will be mis-sed not only in Pennsylvania but wherever Masonry is known in the habitable earth. Foreign Correspondence.

In speaking; of conditions in general, the Grand Master says: "As regards the material undertakings and projects, our efforts have been mainly centered' in the hastening of the successful conclusion of those already in existence; and it is believed that, considering the particular circumstances surrounding each such project, o'ur efforts have been as suc'cessful as might have been expected. "The dignity and sovereignty of our Most Worshipful Grand Lodge have been zealously guarded and defended in all matters involving the same which came up for solution. "The old (though unfounded) prejudices against our Fraternity, existing on the part of some elements in many sections of our coun'try due to misinformation, have been met squarely and dispelled through all proper means possible, to the extent that now the pUblic gatherings of our Lodges and Brethren in the provinces and in this metro.polis as well, are always very largely attended by the best elements of our respective communities, our members are among the leaders of thought and action and our Lodges are more and more being regarded as the true beacon lights for the diffusion~ of truth, knowledge, morality and charity. "The number of our Lodges and membership has had a normal and healthy growth during the year. Cases of really unworthy ~en being taken into our Fraternity have been very rare indeed, thus showing that members of the Craft in this Jurisdiction are maintaining the true standards as to qualifications."

Foreign Relations.

The following is of great interest. The Grand Master says that: "With one exception we are glad to be in Fraternal relations with every Grand Body which so far has accorded the Grand Lodge

1927.]

Appendix.

111

of the Philippine Islands Fraternal recognition as a sovereign Grand Lodge of Masons. "The exception is the Grand Orient of France. We are startled by the unusual conduct of that Grand Body which shows flagrant violations of common Masonic decency. I refer to its continued illegal invasion of the territory of Grand Lodges in the United States, particularly Pennsylvania. I recommend that this Grand Lodg-e sever Fraternal relations with the Grand Orient of :E'rance as a Masonic protest against the formation and maintenance of Lodges chartered by that Grand Orient in states of the United States, which in no legal or Masonic viewpoint can be considered territory of the Grand Orient of France, each such territory being already Masonically occupied by a legitimate and sovereign Grand Lodge. It is further recommended that such censure as is possible by this Grand Lodge remain in force until the Grand Orient of France closes its illegal and unlawfully constituted so-called Lodges in any of the several Grand Jurisdictions of the United States of North America. "Our Grand Lodge has aiways claimed and demanded that territorial Jurisdiction and complete sovereignty in its own territory is an absolute necessary attribute of a regular Grand Masonic Body; and that to trespass upon the legitimate territory of an established Grand Lodge is a serious Masonic offense. If Masonry is to be universal, certain laws must be observed by all Masons and Bodies of Masons. The primary laws are three: legitimacy of origin, sovereignty ov.er its territory, and adherence to the ancient Landmarks. A Body which does not obey these laws may not legally use the name. Masonic. In a country in which no Grand Lodge is established, as for example in China, any Grand Lodge can charter Lodges, but as soon as a Grand Lodge is formed in a given territory, no other Grand Body can thereafter legally charter Lodges therein, without the prior consent of the Grand Body which is the sole and sovereign Grand Lodge for that territory. A Lodge formed in such already occupied territory by an outside Grand Body is by Masonic la ws termed clandestine. Masonically, therefore, and legally, the Lodges formed by the Grand Orient of France in Pennsylvania and other JuriSdictions where Grand Lodges are already functioning are manifestly illegal and irregular, and a Giand Body so violating the fundamental laws is also deemed irregular, made so by its own illegal acts, and deservedly brings upon itself righteous Masonic censure and consequent loss of esteem, confidence and Fraternal communication. If anyone of the Grand Lodges of the Jurisdictions in Which the Groand Orient of France has established Lodges would form a Lodge in France, such a Lodge would immediately be declared a trespass and clandestine by the same Grand Orient of France which has been violating the fundamental Masonic Laws. "With these observations I recommend that a resolution embodying substantially the following be adopted: "Whereas, The Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the Philippine Islands demands and recognizes that sovereignty in its own territory is an absolutely necessary requisite or'- a regular Grand Masonic Body; and,

"Whereas, The Grand Orient of France has illegally invaded and trespassed upon the legitimate territory of the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania, and the Grand Lodges of .other States of -the United States of America, by establishing Lodges therein, thus violating fundamental Masonic laws, and thereby rendering the Grand Orient of France unworthy of recognition as a regular Grand Body of Freemasonry by any legitimate Masonic Grand Lodge or Grand Orien t: Therefore, be it "Resolved, That (he Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the Philippine Islands pass a vote of severest censure of the Grand Orient of France for its illegal and irregular路 conduct in violating the fundamental laws of Masonry; and be it further "Resolved, That all Fraternal relations existing between the Grand Orient of France and the Grand Lodge of the Philippine Islands be, and are hereby, terminated; and be it finally further "Resolved, That this vote of censure and discontinuance of Fraternal communication, and denial of Fraternal recognition as a legitimate Masonic Body, continue until the offending Grand Orient of France cancels the charters of and closes the illegal and clandestine Lodges formed by said Grand Orient in_ the recognized territory of other Grand Lodges of the United States of America."

Grand Master's Address.

This is a worthy record setting forth the acts of his administration which reports uniform progress throughout the Jurisdiction. The Earl of Elgin and Kincardine.

An outstanding event of the past year was the visit of thE' Earl of Elgin and Kincardine, Grand MasterÂˇ Mason of the Grand Lodge of Scotland. He was received and welcomed in Elgin Lodge No.7 on the evening of Nov'ember 1, 1926, and was heartily welcomed. During the evening he was presented with a Past Master's Jewel and made suitable reply. I

Negro Masonry.

The Grand Master reported that he had been approached on behalf of a considerable body of unaffiliated colored Masons residing in Montreal to ascertain if he would be wiIling to grant a dispensation to form a colored Lodge in this Grand Jurisdiction. The Grand Master says in that connection: "I consider that it would be a grave error to recognize any distinction of race or color in this Jurisdiction, and that it is contrary to all British Institutions to so differentiate between races and I, therefore, refuse to entertain the proposition." I nteresti ng Data.

The Grand Master concludes his address with the following striking paragraph: "The day has gone by when one country can live to itself, or when any part of our great Dominion can be isolated from the. other sections, or refuse to assume its share of the common burdens and aspirations, which belong to the nation as a whole; and I know of I no higher service that we can perform to our country, at this

And furthermore I know of no body of men, who, on account of their peculiar training in the principles of harmony and Brotherly love, can do more towards achieving this aim, than the Masonic Order,"

Foreign Correspondence.

This Report is the Fortieth to come from the pen of our veteran of the "Ro~nd Table," M. W. Brother E. T. D. Chambers and is equal to the best that has gone before. In his foreword, Brother Chambel's says: "For the fortieth consecutive time, your undersigned Chair~an of the Committee of Foreign Correspondence of the Grand Lodge of Quebec finds himself face to face with the duty-as pleasing as it is 路laborious-of examining and reviewing such of the transactions of Sister Grand Lodges as have come to him since the publication of his last report. "The story told by these volumes of transactions-over sixty in number-is that of well sustained progress and prosperity in all legitimate Freemasonry the world over, and one can scarcely fonow the records of the beautiful teachings of the Craft as contained in the utterances of Grand Masters, Grand Chaplains, Grand Lodge' Committees and other leading craftsmen without sharing in some instances and to some extent at least, the feeling deHcribed by a reader of Izaak Walton's 'Biographies' that 'the pen which wrote them must have been formed from a feather that fell from an angel's wing'."

For some reason or other, Missouri is missing from the Report. Is it possible that our volume of ,Proceedings failed to reach the Reviewer's Table?

The United Grand Lodge of Queensland is the outcome of a consolidation of four groups of Lodges, viz.: First, Queensland Grand Lodge; Lodges under the English Constitution; Lodges under the Scottish Constitution; and Lodges of the Provincial United Grand Lodge. The unification of these different groups is progressing splendidly. Each group has the privilege of using. the ritual in which it worked before the consolidation, but a new ritual has been worked out and is now being tried.

Grand Maste-r's Addresse~.

Emphasis is given to the work of official visitation in this Grand Lodge, and the Grand Master and the Depu.ty Grand Master bear the brunt of these visitations. The State covers a large area, but this seems to be no barrier to the enthusiasm which is manifested by the Brethren. The Grand Master gives an instance of one Lodge whose membership is scattered over a large area. In it is one Brother who is a regular attendant, who has to travel one' hundred and forty miles to each meeting, and he has the record of having never missed a single Communication. Can this be equaled anywhere? This Grand Jurisdiction follows the plan of having all applications for membership referred to the Grand Secretary's office, after the Lodges have approved the candidate. Notice is given also of all candidates who have been found undesirable together with the reasons therefor. These reports are passed on to a Committee of Permission to ballot without whose approval no application can bo 'proceeded with. To our mind this is an excellent thing. For the information of our Brethren, we excerpt one of the reports of this Committee. It is as followlO: "Since the last quarterly communication of Grand Lodge, the Committee has held six meetings. "Three hundred and eighty-eight (388) applications (which number includes six held over from the previous quarter) were carefully examined, and permission to ballot granted for three hundred and sixty-four (364) Candidates for Initiation. "During the period twenty-seven applications of the above number were held over for various reasons. Subsequently twenty were approved- and permission granted. Seven were held over for further inquiries. . "Ten (10) applicant~ having failed to produce satisfactory testimony respecting their character, were consequently recorded as rejected in the Register. "Ninety-one (91) applications from Joining Brethren were dealt with. Of these eighty-eight were found in order and permission accordingly granted. "One (1) application from a joining Brother was held over awaiting the correct form. "Dispensations were grant'ed by the M. W. Grand Master on the ,recommendation of the Board in respect路 to seven Candidates for Initiation and two Brethren desiring to rejoin. "Eight of these Candidates had not been known to the Proposer and Seconder for the required period, but the Committee were satisfied with the circumstances in each case. "Four (4) Petitions for new war ran ts were reported upon to the Board of General Purposes, who recommended the M. W. Grand Master to grant three of the Petitions only.

"I would suggest that Brethren generally (especially those under the Jurisdiction of the District Grand Lodges of North Queensland and Carpentaria, through the District Grand Secretaries) be encOUl'aged. to forward any report on undesirable Candidates to the Grand Secretary for record. Such reports being treated as strictly confidential. This; if properly attended to, would considerably facilitate the work of the Committee, and greatly benefit the Craft."

The following excerpts from the Introduction to the Grand Master's Address are striking to say th~ least, if not unique: "If it is the desire,of this Body to act promptly upon the matters which will be brought before you today, then great progress can be made. If on the other hand-there is a tendency to delay or postpone the issue then the work that has been done the first six months will probably go for naught. "I would remind you that a body of this size, handling matters of great imp~rtance such as Grand Lodge has to consider cannot practically discuss details before the Grand Body assembled. Matters of detail must be referred to Committees in whom you have confidence and the favorable recommendations of the'se Committees should in most instances be acceptable to Grand Lodge. "To the Masters, Wardens of the Subordinate Lodges who are assembled in Grand Lodge by virtue of their office, to all Past Masters, regular members of Grand Lodge as well, I want to particularly remind that there is no member or group of members that has any more rights in Grand Lodge than anylother member or group. "In other words we are meeting in this assembly upon the level and every man is entitled to his opinion. "There may be some matters brought before this Grand Body today that will not meet with the approval o! the entire membership. There will be matters which will not meet with my entire approval, but before we start I want to remind you that this Grand Body is supreme and whatever this Grand Body decides is our Masonic law and that law or will or pleasure will be enforced.

Annual Communication.

At the Annual Communication held May 17, 1926, the Grand Master submitted a lengthy report giving many details of the matters coming under his administration. Under the head of "Procedure of Introduction and Examination of Visitors," the Grand Master says: . "The keynote of the procedure of examination is that it is a conference of Brethren, in which two groups, one, of one member and one, of two, each satisfy each other of their mutual Brotherhood. The instant the examining Committee is satisfied that the visitor is a regular Mason, in' good standing, courtesy, Brotherly regard, and good manners require that they should say so, and introduce him to the Master. "Charity of thought, toleration, kindness and courtesy, are all Masonic virtues, and there is no better place where they can be practised, than at the door of your Masonic Home, for the benefit of the stranger who would refresh himself at your Altar. "The visitor having applied for examination, the .Tunior Warden will appoint a committee of not less than two Brethren, who will provide themseives with the Holy Bible, Square, Compass, and Apron and proceed to the examining room with the visitor. They will request him to sign his name, together with the name of his Lodge on a card provided for that purpose, and theIr ask for his creden tials for comparison, first satisfying themselves that such credentials as he may present are from a Lodge within a Grand Jurisdiction that is recognized by this Grand Jurisdiction. "The Com~ittee, together with the visitor, shall then place their rig'ht hand on the open Bible and repeat together the Tyler's Oath as follows: "I, , do hereby and hereon, solemnly and sincerely swear, that I have been dUly initiated, passed and raised, to the sublime degree of Master Mason, in a just and lawfully constituted Lodge of such; that I do not now stand suspended or expelled, and know of no reason why I should not hold Masonic communication with my Brethren. So help me God. "After this the Committee shall ask the visitor such questions as they may deem necessary to thoroughly satisfy' themselves, by customary examination, that the visitor is a Master Mason and when so satisfied, will conduct the visitor to the door and give an alarm. When the alarm is answered, the Committee will announce a visitor in waiting, whereupon, the Master will order that he be admitted. The Chairman of the Committee will conduct the visitor to the Altar and salute the Master and will introduce him as follows: "Worshipful Master, I have the pleasure, of introducing to you and to the members of Lodge No , Brother ...................................., a member of Lodge of. : .

R. W. Brother N. R. Craig, Representative of the Grand Lodge of New Jersey, responded OIl behalf of the assembled Representatives. Grand Master's Address.

In opening, the Grand Master said: "I personally welcome you all, and I sincerely trust this Annual Comm,unication will prove not only a means of instruction but also a source of widespread benefit to all of us. It is appropriate that we should meet in the Capital City of Regina on this anniversary; inasmuch as this City is the permanent headquarters of our Grand Lodge. The progress made by this Grand Lodge during the past year, has been a source of great satisfaction to myself, and I am sure to all of you. This progress is more or less du~ to general condi tions that prevail throughout this province. Last year we were blessed with a bountiful harvest, which re-acted in such a manner, that a remarkable improvement in almost every phase of life and activity was shown; and it would ,appear that our fair province of which we are all so justly proud, is about to enter upon a period of renewed prosperity and development. With the betterment of general conditions, is shown a remarkable growth in Masonic interest throughout our Grand Jurisdiction, and the seekers after Masonic Light are very much on the increase. To those deemed worthy it is our duty and our privilege to accord a kindly welcome. We have many blessings and benefits to be thankful for during the past year, and our expressions of thanks to the Most High, should be profoundly sincere and reverent, remembering always that He alone is the source of all wisdom, as well as the fountain of every blessing."

The body of the address is filled with matters relative to local administration, and this business-like document concludes with the following: /

"In conclusion Brethren, let me exhort you to carryon the good work of Freemasonry in the future, with even greater 'zeal than you have done in the past. Let us carry the principles and teachings of our beloved Craft down through the years to come. \Ve as Masons have a great mission to perform; we can do much to restore the equilibrium 'of the universe. It is our duty to do this, and further it is our individual duty to find for ourselves how best we ean severally accomplish this end. Since the end of the great war, the civilized world has been more or less in a turmoil. Various sehemes have been advanced by recognized authorities to ameliorate all difficulties and differences that have arisen, but in some respects we do not appear to be getting much closer to real solid, permanent peace. It is my opinion that we as Masons in the practice of our ideals throughout our daily life, and by the religious performance of our. teachings and lessons. can do much to solve the problems

121

which have been so much before the public during the past years, and which problems are before us today. It is our duty as Masons t.o recognize the principal lesson of Freemasonry, The Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood' of Man; it is our duty to do unto others as we would have them do unto us. 'That duty will cause the employee to render to the employer. "the very best service fo.r the expected reward." It will also make the employer consider the employee on the same basis as himself, and bind these two dominant factors of the world more closely together. Thus employer and employee will more nearly realize that peace and happiness in this life are far more valuable than riches. If this could be accomplished in the true sense of the word, most of the difficulties that beset our present age would vanish and the influence that Freemasonry can give to this universe, would be what we all anticipate it eventually will be, the re::;ponsible means of finding 'Peace, Perfect Peace' for each and everyone of us. We as Masons have a great trust to fulfill; we are not confined to anyone race, creed, or religion, we arc universal. Bec~use of this we can and must take our place in the world and carry forth our ideals and precepts always, and become a leavening influence for good whenever and wherever the opportunh y presents itself, and, Brethren, that opportunity is before us always. Let us be Masons in' every sense of the word."

It is not a time for making speeches, but I wish to say that I hope that we, as Freemasons, individually and collectively, will do everything we can to promote that spirit which we always look up to in our Craft as the spirit which influenced the Craftsmen in old days. It influenced them to go without scruple -and without diffidence to the ,Middle Chamber because of the confidence which was displayed between the different parties, I trust that that same spirit may be abroad in our count"ry today and may help the different parties, who do not see eye to eye at the present moment, to come to that ::\1iddle Chamber and to speak as man to man and settle their differences as the ancient Craftsmen did in 'the days gone by.

D. 1876, the General Grand Chapter, Order of the Eastern Star, was legitimately organized by a convention of delegates of independent Grand Chapters, and after the manner analogous to the General Government of the United States of America, "Th is proceeding had become essen tial to the future of a system which was already dea~ to thousands of Freemasons and their families, by means of degrees known as the 'Eastern Star'-sometimes called 'The Adoptive Rite of Freemasonry.' With the origin of these degrees this declaration will not deal; suffice to place on record the fact that through variou's methods of propaganda an Order has arisen which promised beneficence to the near female relatives of the members of the Ancient and Honorable Fraternity of Free and Accepted Masons, as well as to itself.

"\Vherever it is stated, whether in Constitution, Ritual, General Regulations or otherwise, that eligibility for membership in the 01''del' of the Eastern Star. shall consist of 'affiliated Master Masons in good standing in a Masonic Lodge; their wives, daughters, leg.ally adopted daughters. mothers, widows, sisters, and half-sisters, who shall have attained to at least the age of eighteen (18) years,' it is also nrovided as of perpetual obligation 'that the 'Masonic Lodge' referred to shall be a regular Lodge of regular Freemasonry, wheresoever dispersed. "They also have, amongst others, the following Landmarks: "Its obligations are based upon the honor of those who obtain its secrets and are framed upon the principle that whatever benefits are due by M.asons to the wives, daughters, mothers, widows, and sisters of Masons, reciprocal duties are due to the Brotherhood. "The degrees cannot be conferred unless a Brother in good st.anding shall preside. He may call upon the Worthy Matron to assist in conferring the degrees. "There ,vas later established a Supreme Grand Chapter of the Order in Scotland at a Convention of all the Chapters of the Order of the Eastern Star in Scotland held at Glasgow on 20th August 1904, at which Sister Laura B. Hart, M. W. G. M., of the General Grand Chapter, presided. All the Chapters of the Order within the British Dominions, etc., were formed into this Supreme Grand Chapter, having exclusive Jurisdiction within the British Empire ann of the Colonies and Dependencies thereof, excepting those upon the Continent' of North America. It was also enacted that the landmarks, Constitution, and Laws of the Order shall be adopted as the landmarks of th'e Grand Chapter then formed, and the rituals to be used under the constitution were to be those, used by the General Grand Chapter of America. Another Agreement was enterd into as the result of resolutions passed at tile Triennial Assembly in 1919, under which it was stated that the whole of Europe and Africa. except the BritiSh Dominions therein, shall be regarded as joint territory, and it further declared that the only ritual to be used either in a Grand or Subordinate Chapter was the ritual in use by the General Grand Chapter; also that a corresponding member of the Ritual Committee be appointed from the Supreme Grand Chapter of Scotland, and that all matters in dispute between the Supreme GralJd Chapter of Scotland and' the General Grand Chapter should be -adjudicated upon by a joint Committee of the Committee of foreign relations of General Grand Chapter and Grand Committee of the Supreme Grand 'Chapter of Scotland. It will thus be seen that' the body operating in Scotland is doing so with the same ritual and u.nder the same powers as the body in America. "There is no doubt that the General Grand Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star in America' still hold connection with Freemasonry essential. The following rule appears in their Proceedings for 1925: "Question-Does the widow of a Mason lose her Masonic connection if she marries a man who is not a Mason? "Answer-when a lady becomes the wife of a man not 'a Mason she gives up her right as the widow of the :Masun, and is not eligible to become a member of the Eastern Star.

And several instances appear in previous Proceedings from which it is quite evident that enquiry was being made at Masonic Lodges re-

garding the standing of Brethren. "At the Annual Meeting of the Supreme Grand Chapter of Scotland held in Glasgow on 18th March 1922, it was unanimously passed that the words 'in good standing' be deleted from the Constitution and Initiation forms. The Initiation form states that' the applican t is the wife, daughter, mother, sister, or widow of............................â&#x20AC;˘ a Master Mason of Lodge , No .............â&#x20AC;˘ respectfully petitions to receive the degrees of the Order, etc. . "The matter was before the Grand Lodge of England in 1921. when it was decided that 'no Freemason, is entitled to attend any non-Masonic meeting at which Masonry by direct implication is introduced, or to participate in any ceremony which is quasiMasonic or is held under some pseudo-Masonic and unauthorized auspices, The Secretary, or any member of a Lodge. who gives to anyone outside, and particularly to a non-Mason, information on Masoni/:: matters known to him because of his Masonic connection commits a breach of discipline which, when proved, will be severely dealt with.' ' "The Grand Lodge of Ireland also at a meeting in 1922 passed the following resolution: "'No member of any Lodge under the Jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of Ireland shall be a member of or attend any meeting of any body or Society which requires Freemasonry as a basis of or qualification for membership, except of such bodies as are included in the calendar published annually by the authority of Grand Lodge. If any Lodge or 'member of a .Lodge shall give any information' as to the standing of a member in reply to an enquiry from any such non-recognised body, it shall be deemed to be un-Masonic conduct and may be dealt with accordingly.' "In 1923 the Grand Lodge of Canada refused an official appli~ cation for recog.nition of the Order of the Eastern Star. "At a meeting of the Supreme Grand Chapter of Scotland, held in Glasgow, on 21st October 1922, the following motion was unanimously passed: "'In view of the action already taken by the United Grand Lodges of England and Ireland against the Brothers (under their Jurisdiction) who are members of the Order of the Eastern Star, it is advisable that a Special Committee be appointed to go into the whole question of the relationship of members of the Order of the Eastern Star to the Masonic body, with powers to bring forward a motion to deal with the matter. The Committee to be formed as follows: The M. Vi. G. P., Past Grand Patrons, District Grand Patrons, W. A. G. P., Grand Secretary, and eight Brothers to be appointed by the Supreme Grana Chapter.' "And 1922,

a meeting of that CommIttee, follOWing motion was passed:

members of the Sub-Committee appointed by the Grand Lodge of Scotland, who are not members of our Order, be invited to attend a Chapter Meeting to see for themselves the work of our Order. This was seconded by Brother William Falconer, P. G. P., and unanimously agreed to.' "Nothing has been done by this Committee since they were appointed until recently. On 27th April 1926, the Committee were privileged to attend a meeting of the Order of the Victoria Chapter No.1, when every facility was given the Committee to see the work of the Chapter. The Committee beg to report that there is nothing in the work of the Chapter as practised in Scotland associating it with the Masonic Order. At the same time the Committee consider that the Order of the Eastern Star by insisting on their members being connected with the Masonic Order and claiming that they are 'co-v路.'orkers' with Freemasonry are putting forward a claim which has never been considered or recognised. The whole community are co-workers in the interests of their fellowmen, but each does that work in the way he thinks best. 'Co-workers' is applied to organizations that deliberately work together, and one organization should not state that they are co-workers with another without the sanction and approval of that other organization. "There are about 250 Chapters under the Jurisdiction of the Supreme Grand Chapter of Scotland of the Order of the Eastern Star, and it is claimed there are about 73,000 members. The Victoria Chapter was chartered in Glasgow in' 1874, and the 100th Chapter was chartered' in 1920. At the presen t time there are 270 Chapters under the Jurisdiction of the Supreme Grand Chapter of Scotlil,lld of the Order of the Eastern Star. From these figures will be observed the rapid growth in the number of Chapters, and these have been started in various towns in Scotland, and Queensland, \New Zealand, South Africa, Victoria, and New South Wales. "The Committee have given much consideration to the question of what. action, if any, should be taken ,bY Grand Lodge in connection with this matter. In view of the fact that for over fifty years they have permitted their members without question to join the Order of the Eastern Star it is not thought that it would be reasonable to immediately debar them. In the opinion of the Committee the Order of the Eastern Star has been long enough in existence to stand on the foundation it路 has built without any suggested patrimonial support from other organizations with which they have no connection. In fact, they claim that they are an internal organization, not connected with any other secret order. "The Committee consider that a certain time might be given to the Order of the Eastern Star t.o alter their Constitution in such a way that no reference be made to their having any connection with Freemasonry, and that there be no necessity for the presence of a Master Mason at their ceremonies, and failing their doing so within a reasonable time, then we could adopt other methods to prohibit Freemasons from using their connection with the Masonic Craft as an essential ground for their connection with the Order of the Eastern Star,"

Replying to this, the Grand Master says: "I have your favor of the 8th inst., and have studied the picture of the young man's hand, and am of the opinion he cannot comply with the requirements." Consequently, I will decide he cannot receive the Masonic Degrees."

we enjoy these meetings and tal~e part in the business of this communication we should not fail to remember the Brethren back home, and it is our duty to take back to them, new thoughts, new interest, new energy, and new inspiration for the next year's work."

In General.

The Grand Master commends the celebrating of St. John's Day and says that this year the donations taken for Widows' and Orphans' Day amounted to $750. The Grand Master issued a circular in which he said: "Widows' and Orphans' Day-The F'estival of St. John will be observed by Lodges of this Jurisdiction on June 24, and, in addition' to such celebration, the same day shall be known and observed as Widows' and Orphans' Day, on which Lodges and their individual members and others will be requested to make donations to the Masonic Widows' and Orphans' Home of Tennessee, as a thank offering to Almighty God for the health, prosperity, mercy, and peace that have been vouchsafed to them during the year. "Thus you note that the Grand Lodge of Tennessee has set aside St. John's Day, as vVidows' and Orphans' Day; and all Subordinate Lodges are to observe -this Festival in some fitting manner."

The Grand Master reports as follows concerning the Masonic Service Association and his recommendation was adopted: "For several years there has 'been a wide difference of opinion . as to whether our .membership in the Masonic Service Association was justified by the benefits derived therefrom. "I have noticed all the time t.hat our Grand Officers who had come in closest contact with it, seemed to be the most sure that we should not continue to hold membership in this organization. "But I am frank to say that I thought it was the fault of our lodges and the program in our Grand Lodge that we did not get more benefit through our membership in the Masonic Service Association by not making use of the suggestions made by them. "At the last Grand Lodge I was led to believe that we could work out a new program and make use of the helps which they send, to all lodges each mon tho , "I even went before the Grand Lodge and made a motion which~ was adopted without its being referred to the Committee .on Ways. and Means, that we retain our memben3hip in the Masonic Service路 Association and that the Grand Treasur.er be authorized to pay ourdues therein. "Later I had to Rule on its legality, much 'to my confusion. "Last April I wrote a letter to all Subordinate Lodges in which I requested that some Brother be appointed whose duty it would be to study the Short Talk Bulletin and make a talk to his lodge on the subject suggested in same. "I have made frequent inquiries while visiting lodges, and in very few lodges have I found them using this service. "As to the service given by their Home Offiee I think it is a misnomer..

"While this is true, I know that quite a number of our sister Grand Jurisdictions are contributing members of this Association and are using the programs as directed by the M. S. A. "But until our own educational program is changed or worked out so as to fit in with their programs, I do not think it wise for this Grand Lodge to continue as a contributing member of this association. . "To that end I have directed the Grand Secretary to give notice, as required by their by-laws, that the Grand Lodge of Tennessee is now withdrawing from membership in the Masonic Service Association. "This notice was sent by registered mail by our Grand Secretary on October 6, at the same time our dues for the year were sent in, which amounted to $2,463.20. "I want to go on record as now being strongly in favor of withdrawing from this Association, as per notice given." Foreign Recognition.

The Grand Lodge "recognized" the York Grand Lodge of Mexico. Foreign Correspondence.

. Brother O. H. Smart writes the report 'on Foreign Correspondence and now occupies the place so long filled by the lamented Past Grand Master H. A. Chambers. In his "Foreword" he says: "Masonry, of late years, has become very much commercialized. Instead of joining the Fraternity for the purpose of benefiting their fellowman and putting into the Order all they could, many-very many-are now becoming members to see how inuch they can get out of it, and, when they find out that they can get out of it no more than they have put into it they soon become non-attendants of the Lodges and eventually drop out altogether. They are the ones who have never yet learned to knock, that the door may be opened unto them. They have never sought in the true spirit, and therefore have never found. They were never cut out to be made Masons in their hearts, and therefore never will' be Masons."

Missouri is reviewed in about two pages, the administration of M. W. Orestes Mitchell receiving kindly notice. Brother Smart refers to a paragraph from our ,iObservation" on Clandestine Masonry and says: "Tennessee has been troubled but little with the "Clandestine Masons." A number of years ago, in the Eastern section of the State, we have been informed by one of our oldest Past Grand Masters, a number of Clandestine Masons, with no known origin or regular domicile-like a Government mule, .sired bY~ nobody and cussed by /'

everybody-used to meet <it a private house and confer th'eir three degrees of Masonry (so called) when they could procure a dupe. The fees were all they could induce the seeker after light (?) to cough up, and were always spent for whisky and drank during the proceedings, thus saving the necessity of bookkeeping. Since the advent of the Volstead law, we believe the practice has been discontinued, the whisky obtainable doubtless being too villainous for even a Clandestine Mason to drink."

TEXAS. 1926. 1927. Ed. R. Bryan, G. M. M. H. Childers, G. M. W. B. ,Pearson, G. S. Re-elected. W. ~. Fly, Chairman, Committee on Correspondence. Lodges, 986. Members, 135,800. Gain, 3,026. NINETY-FIRST ANNUAL COMMUNICATION. Held at Waco, Texas, December 1, 1926. At the opening of the Grand Lodge fourteen Brethren were introduced as having been Master Masons for more than fifty years. Among them was one ~ith a record of sixty-one' and one-half years, 'and Past Gral]d Master George W. Tyler, with fifty-three years of continuous service to his credit. The Senior Past Grand Master, W. S. Fly" mentioned a Brother who had passed his hundredth year and had been a Master Mason for seventy-eight years. Grand Master's Address.

From this very superior document we take the following item: "The spirit of Masonry is such that it makes no difference to me what your nationality, your religion or your politics if you are a good man, believe in the fatherhood of God, and the Brotherhood of man, I can lay aside my personal preferences, take you by the hand and call you brother. This is as it should be. Let each of us then claim and demand the right to think and act as our best judgment may dictate, on all matters that do not concern Masonry, and grant to every other man the same privilege, but when we come into a Masonic Lodge, let us think and act as Masons only."

Speaking of pioneers of Masonry,. he says: "When we remember that it was necessary for these pioneers who first met to discuss the feasibility of organizing a Masonic Lodge, for self protection', to meet in a laurel thicket in a cemetery of a private citizen, we will realize that those men were real Masons, with the courage of their convictions, and unafraid, and the motives actuating them may be well stated in the language of one of the participants: 'The dangers, therefore, attendant upon an organ-

ization of Masons at this time, which was "trying men'R souls," were neither few nor unimportant'."

Among l1is decisions are the following: "That the White Shrine shall not be permitted to use the Lodge Room. "That if Masonic Lodge conducts funeral services, pall-bearers must be Masons."

The Grand Master speaks "out" concerning the vice of using Masonry for political and commercial purposes. He says: "Some of the Brethren in introducing their business to the public and giving a history of themselves, invariably say, I am a 32nd degree Mason and a member of t.he Shrine. Another in introducing himself politically will use the same or similar language. Vlhen called upon by the District Deputy Grand Master, they are surprised, did it unthoughtedly, and promise not to do so again, and probably do not, but a week will not pass until some other brother offends along the same line. I really believe that most infractions of this kind are done unthoughtedly. I plead with the Brethren to stop and think before they use their MaRonry for political or commercial purposes, thus violating their obligations, and bringing Masonry into disrepute." -

Oration.

The Grand Orator, Brother J. J. Gallagher, gave a splendid address in the course of which he said: "vVe are living in a' fast age. Old truths, like old keys, have grown rusty and bent and no longer unlock the secrets of the universe. Old philosophies and old creeds are falling. Ships are beating the air and crawling the' beds of the oceans. Men are calling, to men across the seas, speaking in sparl(s that span a thousand miles of space. The greatest philosophers, the hardest-headed analysts and the most phlegmatic scientists of Europe are adventuring the empire of the dead, peering with eager eyes and listening with credulous brains, for signs of the soul eternal. It is a wonderful age! A great laboratory has developed a ray of light that will hold your twin-six helpless in a tide of traffic, will stop the mightiest airship in its flight or put out of commission the greatest engine that turns the machinery of the largest factory in existence. Tonight a business associate talks to you from some Eastern center, which conversation develops the necessity of a letter in return. Tomorrow's early morning hours will find that letter a thousand feet above the mountains of Virginia, speeding to its destination as it greets the morning sunrise. A few evenings ago I touched my radio and heard an official in Cuba announcing the result of a bull fight. 'Vith the slightest turn of the dial I was thrilled with beautiful music played by an orchestra on the top of an hotel 'in Chicago. Again touching the dial, I heard a Je\Vish Rabbi announcing his text in clear-cut tones from his Synagogue in San Francisco. And the text, as it brought me back from the realm of wonderment to the duties of the hour, seemed like the thunders from Sinai: 'Except Jehovah build the house, they labor in vain that build it'."

the committee on Ma~onic Education and Instruction. These bulletins were No.5 and No.6, dealing with the early history of Story Lodge No.4 and Corinne Lodge No 5, respectively, and were prepar'ed by Grand Secretary S. H. Goodwin. ' The Grand Master observes that Utah is: "Particularly fortunate in having in this Grand Jurisdiction one so eminently qualified for this historical work. With over fifty years of Utah Masonry behind us, Brother Goodwin started this important work none too soon. "\Ve should continue to make it possible for our Grand Secretary to be relieved of the duties of his office for a period each summer that he may have ample time and opportunity for the prl~para足 tion of these historical articles, and. when this work is finally completed he should be commissioned to write a History of Utah Masonry for publication by this Grand Lodge."

Salt Lake Masonic Temple.

Speaking of this, the Grand Master says: "On July 2'9" 1926, ground was broken in Salt Lake City for the erection of a new Masonic Temple. "No event in the history of ,our Jurisdiction is more significant of the growth and importance of :\iasonry in this state than will be the completion of this magnificent temple some time this year. Fully financed, and without bonded indebtedness, this new home of the Masonic organizations of Salt' Lake City will represent, when completed, an investment of nearly three quarters' of a million dollars. Here also will be the future home of the Grand Lodge of Utah, ample space being provided for the Grand Secretary's office and the Grand Lodge library."

A Surprise for the Grand Secretary.

We cannot refrain from quoting the following: " 'Kind hearts are more than coronets,' sings one of the world's great Poets. This has been confirmed and exemplified in many ways and at many times, but never before in any such startling and overwhelming fashion, in your Grand Secretary's experience, as on Christmas morning, last. Called the office on "a matter of business of, some importance," as the matter was put over the telephone, and detained there for a short time while everything was being put in readiness, and then accompanied to the front door of the Masonic Temple ,by a goodly number of interested friends-on the pretext that we were all to pay a visit to the Crippled Childrens' ward at the Hospital-and then, the surprise. There on the sidewa,lk, at the foot of the steps, was a fUlly equipped five-passenger sedan; everything complete. And then the Grand Secretary was told that this was a gift to him from his Masonic friends-that was what happened to the Grand Secretary. ":t\fot the faintest whisper of what was being done had reached him-the surprise was complete, and it left the grateful recipient speechless then, and he cannot yet think or speak of this gracious ~nd

ing the Masonic progress of the day and the various organizations bearing the approval of the fraternity which have come into being' during the last few years. We cannot stand aloof indefinitely and continue to hold Ul) our heads among our brethren round about. The timc has gone by, if it ever was, vJhen Masons can proudly consider themselves as considerably better than the average run of me'n and by so doing justify failure as good citizens. More and more insistent comes the demand for deeds in the place of words and less and less are claims taken at their face value and respect given to traditional virtue and merit claimed by the descendants of those whose possession of those qualities in ample measure distinguished them among their brethren. "There is no surer way to dry up sympathy, kindness and regard than indulgence in that feeling of superiority which is the natural result of dwelling upon past performance or record. Others care nothing for alibi and not much more for history and we face the ever-growing demand that organizations as well as men be judged according to achievement. "Our mission is service and that implies and demands far more than good ritualistic ceremony or excellent floor work. These are well and the emphasis placed upon them is well bestowed but they are too highly valued if they are regarded as anything more than the means to an end and that end is the bringing of the elect and through them those whom in some degree they influence into a place of larger outlook on the great problems of life, of deeper sympathy with our brothers in need, of high resolve to do our part in making the world a cleaner, brighter, and better place in wh\ch to live. Such is the nature of our engagement as Master Masons and to these duties we are bound by the most solemn ties."

Foreign Correspondence.

This report, written by P. G. M. Archie S. Harriman, is full of good things. In his "Introduction" he says: "We have tried to indicate the stand taken by the several Grand Lodges of the United States on these matters which 'are of most general importanee to us. Grand Maste1'S and Grand Lodges are still. seeking just and reasonable means to handle the increasing efforts of organizations to attach themselves to the good ship Masonry for the special benefit to be derived from such relationship. De Malay, and the several girls' organizations have tried for recognition to' such quasi attachment as the Eastern Star years ago achieved. In some Jurisdictions, they have made headway, but generally Grand Lodges路 have been slow to adopt these organizations as SUfficiently Mason ic to en title them to hold their meeJings in Masonic Halls. '\Ve have tried to note such action as has been taken in regard to all these organizations. "ViTe heartily recommend the review as well worthy of careful reading, not because of the value of the work we have contributed, but because of the news and also the real Masonic information it, contains."

FOUR QUARTERLY COMMUNICATIONSMarch, June, September and December. Grand Master's Address.

In offering thanks for his elevation to the office of Grand Master, the newly elected incumbent made becoming reference to his exalted predecessor, and after mentioning a number of important matters, closed with this paragraph: "You have heard, earlier in the evening, of the great progress We have made during recent years; in common with all other English speaking Grand Lodges, and I now wish to emphasize what has been said by many of our leaders, that the necessity still exists for the greatest care and the closest examination into the moral and social chara<;ter of those who seek admission. Our own records prove some Lodges are lax, and much unnecessary labor is imposed on a Grand Master in considering thc many objections lodged against candidates, many of them, unfortunately, only too well founded. Numbers do not always count for strength, but may, if due care is not exercised, lead to weakness and decay, whereas, if men of character are admitted, they will attract the best men in the community, and these we want. We shall then establish an Order that will stand firm while nations fall. and we will build in these fair southern lands Temples of character that will endure while time shall last. It is far better to make Freemasons by the hundred rather than members by the thousand. It is better to crect a strong fence at the top of the cliff than to maintain an ambulancc' at the bottom. May I conclude with a few lines by the Canadian poet, Edgar A. Guest:" 'To live as gcn tly as I can; To be, no matter where,'a 'man, To take what comes of good or ill And cling to faith and honor still; To do my best and let that stand, The record of my brain and hand, And then, should failure come to me, Still work and hope for victory'."

The Grand Master also _said that: "Since our last Quartcrly Communication we have had the pleas-

ure of welcoming to Victoria the new Governor-General, His Excellency Lord Stonehaven. vVe were delighted to hear that he is a member of the Craft, and it gave us much pleasure as Freemasons to present an address of loyalty to him as Governor-General and as a Brother Freemason."

He added that H. E. the Governor-General hoped in the future to 'take an active part' in Freemasonry. Forei,gn Correspondence:

The Report on Foreign Correspondence, occupying 36 pages, is a model of excellence, each review, apparently, being written by a separate Correspondent. Missouri receives fraternal consideration in about one-half of a page, the administration of M. W. Orestes Mitchell being commended and excerpts therefrom quoted.

ONE HUNDRED FORTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL COMMUNICATION. Held at Princeton, Virginia, February 9, 1926. Grand Master's Address.

The opening paragraph, herewith excerpted, is an index of the high tone maintained throughout in this valuable document. "To the observant and critical mind speculative Freemasonry, which began in a distinct sense with the organization of the Grand Lodge of England, furnishes the most remarkable record of achievement in the history of temporal institutions. Born in an humble envi'ronment and in an age of dire superstitution it has come down to us through the turbulent and transitory scenes of two centuries bearing a message of hope and good will towards men. Conscious of its exalted mission, with a righteous contempt for its traducers and clothed in the mantle of high purpose, it stands out in all lands where religious freedom obtains among the leading benefactors of mankind outside of the church of God, It challenges no man's political or religious affiliations, wages no campaign for supremacy among its contemporary fraternal orders' and in an exemplification of its cardinal virtues and a conservative application of true benevolence seeks to render unselfish service to the cause of humanity."

In General.

The Grand Master emphasizes the great opportunity for con路

structive service .offered to the membership in the Old Folk's Home Movement, saying: "The plan consists of at least three important objects, first a home for aged Masons and their dependents; second, wards at our State Tubercular Sanitariums for prompt, economic and scientific treatment of Masonic patients or member:s of their families; third, the endowment fund to maintain these enterprises and to meet emergency cases in local environll!ent and of a nature which the above w'ould not cover."

Regarding the 'Masonic Service Association, a Committee apÂˇ pointed, reported unfavorable, and the Grand Lodge concurred, it being of the opinion that Virginia had better not joint at this time. The number of Masonic Districts in Virginia is large. There are sixty of them. The Grand Master pointed out that, "Territorially speaking, the Jurisdiction is a vast empire within itself". 'Ve wonder what he would say of a Jurisdiction like Texas. The salary of the Grand Lecturer, on recommendation of the Grand Master, was increased from $2,400 to $3,000 a year. The Grand Master had this to say on the subject of Masonic Literature: "Many of the so-called Masonic publications of today possess little, if any, merit from either a literarj' or educational standpoint. Most' of such publications are purely commercial enterprises operated for selfish gain and are g-enerally of an inflammatory or sensational character. To subscribe to such literature encourages radicalism, a spirit foreign to the true purpose of Freemasonry and should be 'avoided with the utmost care."

He is right! A New Law.

The following is a step in the right direction: "Each District Deputy/ Grand Master shall recommend to the Grand Master two Master Masons in his district who may be appointed by the Grand Master as Masonic speakers, who shall serve during the current Masonic year,and to each of whom there shall be issued a commission under seal of the Grand Lodge and signed .)y the Grand Master. The Masonic speakers shall visit each'Lodge for which they are commissioned as often as they are requested by the Dist~ict Deputy Grand Ma'ster, but not less than twice in each year, and deliver lectures on such subjects as are hereinafter provided for. Said Masonic speakers shall receive no compensation for their services within their own districts, but the Lodge visited by them shall pay their actual expenses. If any of said Masonic speakers are invited by the District Deputy Grand Master of another district or by a Lodge without his own district, the said Masonic speaker shall be entitled to receive such compensation as shall be agreed upon between him and said Lodge. The Grand Master may cause to be prepared, from time to time, the subject of the lectures limited to

Masonic matter to be delivered by said Masonic speakers, together with such data as he may deem necessary or adv!sable, which subjects and data shall be distributcd by the Grand Secretary to each Masonic speaker, with a copy to each District Deputy Grand Ma:stel'. The Grand Secretary shall prepare and mail to each Lodge a list of the several Masonic speakers, giving their names, addresses and the Masonic district to which each one belongs, showing th~ Lodges within each district."

Concerning its operation, Brother Callahan says: "Although this is a new and comparatively untried field of labor I believe it can be made one of great importance if the services of these speakers' are properly and systematically utilized for educational purposes. There can be no reasonable doubt that their efforts will greatly stimulate and revive what is now a dormant or inactive interest in Masonry in some -sections. Moreover it will call from retirement into active useful service morc than a hundred capable workcrs and this in itself is a valuable consideration. "Lodges should be supplied with the names and addresses of those appointed and urged to avail themselves of the oppor.tunity offered to obtain information on the leading subjects of interest to the entire fraternity."

Foreign Correspondence.

Doctor Joseph W. gggleston again presents the report on Foregin Correspondence which, without a doubt, is one of the best we have ever read. In dealing with Missouri, he says: "The Grand Mas~er's address was full, of the very finest kind of Masonic literature. We are always looking' for such matter, seldom find it except in small qua,ntities, but this time we are going to quote a lot of it and suggest that much of it will bear reading more than once."

The Doctor is as good as his word and excerpts nearly four pages of the salient items contained in M. W. Brother McIntyre's address. He also commends our "observation" regarding the Masonic Service Association and our review of the Y.ork 'Grand Lodge of Mexico, for which we tender our thanks. M. W. Brother Eggleston will learn with regret, we are sure, of the "exaltation" of our revered Doctor Woods; which took place on May 12, 1927. He was the last of our "Old Guard".

SIXTY-NINTH ANNUAL COMMUNICATION. Held at Spokane, Washington, June 15, 1926. The Proceedings are introduced with a lifelike portrait of the Grand Master, M. W. Morton Gregory. In a biographical sketch accompanying the portrait, the following is said of him: "Throughout his official life he gave undivided attention to the duties incumbent upon him. He made a careful, painstaking study of the fundamental principles and ideals of Masonry and delivered many addresses that take high rank in the estimation of the Masons of this Grand Jurisdiction. Four outstanding features mark his educational work and service: The cUltivation of brotherly love and friendship; the development of the individual man as an upright Mason; the interpretation of the symbols of Masonry; and the preservation of the Ancient Landmarks of the Masonic Institution. He closed his official administration as a Grand Lodge officer with credit to himself, holding the high esteem of his brethren. " 'King's bestow decorations upon those whom they delight to honor; but that man is most highly decorated who has the confidence and esteem of his friends'." Grand Master's Address.

Giving an account of his "ste,vardship", the Grand Master says: "When by your generosity, the purple of our Fraternity first rested on my shoulders, I resolved to give my whole 路time and best endeavors to merit the confidence reposed in me. I am not conscious of any deviation from that purpose. Lacking the genius of some of my predecessors, I have substituted hard work and long hours. The effect upon my life.is most gratifYing to me. More firmly than ever, it is my conviction that by the light of Freemasonry is to be solved, eventually, the moral problem of the ages. Indeed, we are steadily advancing toward that solution., The value of my work, in its effect upon the craft, is not for me to say.

"I endeavored to call on all those who are being assisted by the Home Board, outside of the Home, and also as many ,aged and infirm Masons as possible. I made approximately 150 such calls."

Law and Order.

Speaking on this, the Grand Master observed that: "There seems to be a growing tendency on the part of people generally to want to obey only such laws as they, individually, ap路 prove. Such persons are not thinking straight, and "Straight thinking is necessary to straight doing." There can be no true liberty without law." This nation-any nation-must be law ruled or mob ruled. As men and Masons, or individuals, there is only one course to follow if we are to be worthy of our fathers, if we are to remedy the evils that now confront us. That is the straight forward. manly honest course of endeavoring to obey the law-ALL LAW, and by the force of our voice and the influence of our numbers make it decidedly unpopular to do otherwise."

Condition of the Craft.

Under this head, the Grand Master says: "I cannot truthfully say, "There is peace, harmony and prosperity and all is well with the Craft," therefore, I do not say it. At the same time I do not know that conditions are much different from what they have been since I can remember. There is a so-called prosperity as a result of influx of numbers. Whether it is a bane or a blessing depends. Under the stress of patriotic emotion we failed to fan the wheat sown while Mars was in ascendency. And now in saner hours, we view our fields marred by harmfUl thistles, and one of these greedy thistles overshadows a thousand stalks of golden grain. They are in our field for what they can get, not what they yield. Even our neighbors, as they pass by, remark, how careless we have become of late. "It is useless to mourn the past. "Let the dead past bury its dead." The value of experience is in its lessons for the future. It is time now to look the facts squarely in the face and remedy the defects. "The place to begin is at the beginning. There is a deplorable lack of feeling of responsibility on the part of some who recommend petitioners for degrees. I think Section 346 of the Code has made entirely too great an impression on the minds of some of the brethren. "In the next place there is a woeful lack of responsibility felt by Investigating Committees. We are too ready to shirk responsibility, and let a few do all the work, yet we have a right to expect a Mason, when he signs a report, to know. of his own knowledge, that the report is true."

Visit to Alaska.

The Grand Master visited twelve of the thirteen widely scattered Lodges in Alaska and speaks of them in glowing terms. Impressed by the wonders of that marvelous Territory, he says: "No one has seen America until he has visited Alaska.

Foreiign Correspondence.

This Report, which is altogether worthy, is the work of P. G. M. Brother E. H. Van Patten, who is proving a good successor to the lamented Ralph C. McAllaster. In his "Foreword" he has this to say: "Already our local Lodges are beginning to have a feeling of resentment against the taxation placed upon them by the Grand Lodges for various purposes, although. said purposes are good in themselves. Magnificent temples are being built, greater Masonic Homes being planned, and even hospitals for the use of the public are spoken of, to say nothing of the needs for higher education. The question naturally arises, where will all this end? Is there not danger of swamping the smaller groups of Masonic interest? The extravagance which followed the late war, evidently has had something to do with this expansive effort among Masons, and it is now timc for all of us to take account of the effect that all this will eventually have on the Fraternity at large. We have enough, as an institution, for our natural activities, without taking on those extraneous matters which, while splendid in and of themselves, yet do not pertain especially to Masonry. "Are we not in danger of confusing our individual responsibilities with those which belong to the institution to which we belong. As citizens we owe our best efforts to the upbuilding of the state and of our local affairs, but those are things which do not come directly under the duties of Masonry as an institution. In other words, are we not in danger of assuming too much in our desire to see things done as we think they ought to be 'done?"

Missouri receives considerate attention in four pages of the Review, quotations being made on the administration of M, W. Brother Orestes. Mitchell, and the various items of interest connected with our One, Hundred and Fifth Annual Communication.

THE TWEiNTY-SIXTH ANNUAL 'COMMUNICATION. Held at Perth, W. A., May 25, 1926. . In his' address at the Third Quarterly Communication, M. W. Grand Master, referring to the question of under-age candidates,.' made the following remarks: "Two years ago I addressed Grand Lodge on this subject, and in

Appendi_'r.

144

[o.ct.

my remarks, I expressed the hope that no under-age candidate would be 'nominated without the Master being first assured that a Dispensation would be granted to permit of his initiation. I am pleased to say that my wishes in this respect have been almost invariably complied with, but as the number of applications has increased instead of decreased, I have been obliged to refuse a great many requests. As all candidates are required to be of 'mature years and sound judgment,' I do not consider it wise, or in the best interests of the Craft, to exercise my dispensing powers in favour of those who are mere boys, with a ,boyish outlook on life. There are exceptions, of course, where young men are qualified to shoulder responsibilities earlier than others, and such I am always prepared to consider, but as a rule lads under twenty-one should be obliged to wait. "While the question of age has never been considered as one of the landmarks of the Order, it was provided for in the earlier Constitution!:>. In the Regulations of 1663, the age was set down at twenty-one, but in the English Constitution of 1723 the age wa's twenty-five, with power to the Grand Master to grant a Dispensation to initiate at a lesser age without such lesser age being defined. The Irish Constitution of 1730 made the age twenty-one, and gave the Grand Master the same dispensing powers as the English Grand Master. Scotland, until a decade or so ago, had the age fixed at eighteen. It is now twenty-one, but the son of a Scottish Master Mason may be initiated at eighteen by Dispensation. At the present time in England, Ireland and Queensland it is not necessary that the under-age candidate should be the son of a Freemason, but it is ;<;0 in South Australia, Victoria, New South Wales, New Zealand, and West. ern Australia. In Tasmania no person under the age of twenty can be admitted. In America the age of twenty-one is strictly adhered to, and no Dispensation to initiate at a lesser age is lawful. On the Continent of Europe the prevailing age is twenty-five, although in some jurisdictions it is fixed at twenty-one. I give Grand Lodge this information in order to correct the impression that a Dispensation has only to be applied for to be granted."

Annual Communication.

The M. W. Grand Master referred with great pleasure to the fact that for the twenty-fourth year in succession, the books of Grand Lodge closed without there being a single Lodge in arrear. Interesting.

The Grand Inspector of Workings, in his report, says: "At the Annual Communication, the M. W. Grand Master referred with great pleasure to the fact that, for the 24th year in succession, the books of Grand Lodge closed without there being a single Lodge in arrear. "In the report of the Grand Inspector of Workings, the following useful remarks appear:" 'Generally speaking, the ceremonial work has been well carried out; but on the other hand there is, in many lodges, a tendency to make protracted debate on simple domestic matters, which arises primarily from Masters having little or no knowledge of the rules of

It is a matter for regret tha't very few of tile Lodie·s· r have inspeCted recognize the tirne for. which the Lodge has been summoned. A belated commencement usually leads to undue haste, and I would commend this matter to the careful· attention of all Masters.' " 'r \vould suggest to Masters that the services of Officers might be more freely used to keep in touch with Brethren whose presence in the Lodge is somewhat rare. It is a matter for regret that sacred music in the ceremonials is, in many instances, entirely absent, even the Odes being dispensed with. There is a distinct impl"OVement ill the general conduct of the Festive Board. Nothing detracts more from the dignity which should aiways characterize our proceedings. than the rattling of eating utensils when honours to a toast are given, and sometimes even when a toast is being proposed'."

"In company with Grand Mastel' Knittle, Grand Secre~ary Lowndes, Past Master W. S. Kimball.of Casper Lodge No. 15, and a number cif members from Wyoming Lodge No.2, at Lander, it was my pleasure to attend the dedication services at South Pass City on the 21st of August, designating the original site of the second Ma~;onic. Temple in Wyoming, where Masonic meetings wel'e regularly held from December 6, 1869, to December, 1878. The South Pass from 1840 to 1870, before the railroads connected the Atlantic and Pacific states, was the most celebrated Pass in the entire Continental Divide, and it is estimated that more than three hundred thousand peopie passed through there during that period of thirty years on their way to a new country to establish for themselves a h')me and to build an Empire. Dr. Marcus vYhitman and bride and R.~v. H. H. Spalding and hride celebrated the 4th of July in this pass in 1836. These wen.\ the fil~st whit.e women to venture into this western country, and it was here that Dr. Whitman, with the Holy Bible in his left hand and the American flag in his right, fell upon his knees and in the name of God and America took possession of the land of the 'Vest as a home of the American women and the church of Christ. "When the Masonic lodge was organized in South Pass Cit.y on December 6, 1869, the meetings were held in the upper part of .'). twostory log building. This lodg-e room h3d none of the luxuries and comforts of the present day lodges. Only the officers were provided with chairs, the other members being seated upon wooden benches. The furniture and implements were crude, but those llioneer Masons who set up their lodge room in atnnple built of logs, manifested the spirit of Masonry and the sacredness of the Masonic lessons then fully as much as we to.day in our finest temples. After nine years of vicissitudes t.he f~rniture and implemen ts of this lodg'e \'....ere moved to Lander, and qn the evening of January 4. 1879, the first Masonic' meeting in that villag-e was opened in due form and thus the lodge formed on the crest of the Rocky Mount.ains fifty-seven years ago was preserved and still lives, and will neVGI' die."

He stated that at the meeting of the Past Grand Masters the night before, the thought oc-_ curred to those present that it would be both fitting and proper to at this time present a -token of affection and esteem to our worthy 1?rother F. G. Burnett. He said that the thought occurred to him that it ,,;,ould be most fitting if SUC}1 presentation could be made by the Grand Master of Nebraska, on behalf of the State of Nebraska, which takes pride in the record of Brother Burnett, because the Grand Lodge of Nebraska is, in a sense, the Mother .Jurisdiction of the State of Wyoming.. "Brother Crites went on to give a brief recital of the history of Nebraska Lodge No. 28, working under dispensation from the Nebraska Grand Lodge, and which w·as located at South Pass. \Vyoming, and which later became '~lyoming Lodge No.2, and of Which lodge Brother Burnett was and is a member, and over which he presided as Master in 1887. After expressing appreciation of such men as Brother Burnett has proved himself to be, and paying a beautiful tribute to Brother Burnett the Mason, Nebraska's Grand Mast,·r Crites presented to Brother Burnett, on behalf of the Past Masters of the Wyoming Grand Lodge, a beautifUl traveling bag. "Upon conclusion of the present.ation every member in the lodge room was visibly affected by the scene just wit.nessed. and especially so the gurprised recipient of C1e sig'nal honor just received. MI'. Burnett made a splendid reply, and expressed his heal·t.felt appreciation of the great honor. He gave some interesting bits of history connected with Wyoming. "Brother Burnett. together ''lith other hardy pioneers who had so much to do with bringing Masonry into \V·yoming, formed a nucleus for law and order and right. living in this stat.e, and the state, in a great measure, owes much of its progress and development to such men as these who dared do things a~ long as they had right and justice on their side."

A: Ii'.

Law Enforcement.

Here follows a worthy paragraph. from the Chairman of the Committee on Jurisprudence: "Section 690 provides: "The illegal manufacturing of intoxicating liqUOl'S as prohibited by the State of Wyoming and the United States of America is hereby declared to be a Masonic offense, and any member of a Masonic Lodge of this Grand JU~'isdiction, convicted thereof shall be subject to suspension or expulsion. "It is provided in SectiO'n 695 of the Code in degcribing MasoniC offenses, under paragraph (e), "Drunkenness or the violation of the Prohibition laws."

[Oct.

"These provisions surely show that thts Grand LOdge has already taken a position of unquestioned loyalty to the laws of the country, and especially the prohibition laws; and so emphatically that any resolution of the character proposed ought to be regarded as entirely unnecessary. "This Grand Lodge has among its membership many, including Past Masters and Past Grand Masters, occupying official positions requiring of them the enforcement of the prohibition laws, as well as the laws defining and punishing other cri'minal offenses, such positions so o'ccupied by the members of this Grand Lodge, including a Federal Judge, Supreme Court Justices and several Judges of the District Courts of the state, a United States Attorney and an Assist.- . ant United States Attorney. Prosecuting Attorneys, (one of whom sits at the right hand of the Grand East at this session, and another is here also present), constantly engaged in the enforcement of the prohibition law as well as other criminal laws, and include also members of the,other Courts of the state, including Police Courts, Justice Courts and the Supreme Court, and it does not seem to have occurred to any of these public officers that any more was necessary than what already appears in the Code to state fully and cl~arly the loyalty of this Grand body to the public laws defining crimes generally, as well' as punishing the violation of the prohibition laws."

Fraternal Correspondence.

The Report on Fraternal Correspondence, by Brother Joseph N. Lowndes, is a particularly interesting one. All important matters are carefully -dealt with and his Introductory report is especially valuable. He summarizes the high spots of Masonic activity in the various Grand Jurisdictions, notes the progress made in Masonic Education, commends the George Washington Memorial and the undertaking of the National Masonic Tuberculosis Sanatoria Association. Missouri is accorded three pages in his Report and the "greetings" of the late Doctor Woods are reproduced in full. We thank him for his kindly. words.

Appendix.

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 Tennessee granted charters to the following Lodges in "Missouri Territory": Missouri Lodge No. 12, in St. Louis, October 8, 1816; Joachim Lodge No. 25, at Herculaneum, October 5, 1819, and St. Charles Lodge No. 28, at SL Charles, October 5, 1819. J

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.

In Memoriam.

DAVID McCONAUGHY WILSON. David McConaughy Wilson was born in Adams County, near Gettysburg, Pa., September 26, 1853, and died at the Masonic Home in St. Louis, Mo., October 27, 1926. In 1860, his parents, the Rev. David Wilson, a Presbyterian

Minister, and wife, moved with their family to Potosi, Mo. Later they resided at Ironton, Jefferson City, and St. Charles until 1871, when they took up their residence at Milan, Mo., at which place he spent the greater portion of his life. At this place his remains, with solemn and impressive ceremony, were laid to eternal rest on October 31, 1926, by the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Missouri. He was a graduate of Hanover University, also of Missouri State University at Columbia, having received the degree of A. B. at the latter in 1875, and A. :M. in 1878. He studied law at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania with his uncle, the Hon. David McConaughy, one of the leading lawyers of Pennsylvania and in 1881 returned to Missouri and was admitted to the bar at Linneus, Mo. He then again toqk up his permanent residence at Milan and entered upon the practice of his profession. He was an able lawyer and was held in high regard by the courts in which he appeared in the interest of his clients. He was elected County School Commissioner of Sullivan Coun. ty in 1883, and Prosecuting Attorney in 1884, 1886, and 1888, respectively. In 1885 he was married to Miss Selena McClary, of Milan, who died on November 27, 1919. Of this union four children were born, two sons and two daughters, all of whom are now living. August 17, 1876, he was raised to the Sublime Degr'ee of Master Mason in Seamon Lodge No. 126, at Milan, Mo., serving that Lodge as Worshipful Master during the years 188-7, 1888, and 1889. He had the unique distinction of having never held any other official position in it, and was a member there at the time of his death. He was elected Grand Junior Warden of the Grand Lodge A. F. & A. M., in Missouri in 1903, and having filled the intervening stations, was elected Most Worshipful Grand Master on his fifty-third . birthday, September 23, 1906. One year later he retired from this position with the love and confidence of the brethren. Concerning his knowledge of Masonic Rituals, R. W. Brother Allan McDowall, the' Grand Lecturer of that time, said that he had few equals and no superior. In 1909 he was a~p'ointed Chairman of the Ritual Committee of the Grand Lodge and re-appointed each succeeding year, and held the position at the time of his death. He was a charter member and the first Patron of Olive Chapter No. 65, O. E. S" at Milan, Mo. Was Grand High Priest of Grand Chapter R. A. M. of Missouri in 1907. Grand Master of the Grand COUD~i1 Royal and Select Masters during.1899, and President Of the

Convention of Anointed High Priests for the last twenty years. In 1908 he was elected a member of the Masonic Home Board and s'erved continuously and faithfully until the' hour of his death. He was present and took an active interest in the deliberations of the Board on October 25, 1926, two days before the close of his life's journey. Being familiar with the affairs of the Home, he was selected in 1921, to prepare the History of this wonderful charity from the time of its inception down to date, for the Centennial Volume of the activities of Freemasonry in Missouri during the first century of its existence. The story as written is a pleasing and fascinating one. He begins by saying: "One of the sweetest as well as one of the de-arest of all the words in our language is Home. Around and about it cluster and are entwined the tenderest emotions of the human heart," etc. Then he deals with the more prosaic and cold facts connected with its development from October 13, 1884, the date on which the resolution was approved in the Grand Lodge at St. Louis, authorizing the appointment of a Committee to consider and report to the next Annual Communication, on the "propriety and practicability of establishing -an 'Industrial Home' for wid'ows and orphans of deceased members," down to 1921. He went much into detail of which nothing further will be said, other than quote the beginning of his closing paragraphs merely for the purpose of indicating his conception of what constitutes a real horne: "And now my story of the Home is drawing to a close. Yet it is not ended. To be frank, there has been a little secret all along the way. I have kept the best of the story for the last! There cannot be a home, you know, a real: true home without there is a woman in it-it may be a mother, a wife, a daughter, a sister, one or more, or perhaps all-and so this story cannot close until something has been said about the Order of the Eastern Star, and the Advisory Board, and what it and they have done for the Home." He was a finely educated and polished gentleman; a constant reader, and had the reputation of -being the best S'hakesperian scholar in Sullivan County, and possibly the north-east part of this State. So rare were his extreme humility, modesty and utter simplicity that on first acquaintance he did not attract the attention of the average person; yet there was so much of real merit and sincerity in him that when once understood he was highly appreciated as being a man that could and did keep his head when all around him were losing theirs. ' In 1740" two families carne to this country from Scotland; one

named Wilson and the other McConaughy, and settled near Gettysburg, Penn. A member of the latter family, the Rev. David McConaughy, D. D., later became President of Washington College at Washington, Penn. The first David Wilson of the original immigrant family, served what is now a part of the United States, as a Captain in the Army of the Revolutionary War. Both families being of old Scotch Covenant stock, it was perfectly natural that they woul'(} be friends and indue course of time this friendship between the boys and girls would terminate in love affairs, and the inevitable result, marriage. In 1806, the McConaughys builded a home at Gettysburg, in \ which the mother of M, W. Bro. Wilson was born in 1821. On September 26, 1853, in the same room of this home was born a son whom the mother, in honor of her l:1ncle, the Rev. David McConaughy, named David McConaughy Wilson, so familiarly known as "D. M." He was the fourth of the WHsons to be named David, and the first bearing the name of David McConaughy WHson. The locality of his birth later became one of the Historic spots of our Nation. 'It will be remembered that it was in Gettysburg, after the defeat of General Lee's Army b.y the Union forces under command of General Meade, in 1863, and approximately ten years after the birth of M. W. Bro. Wilson, that President Lincoln delivered one of his most memorable addresses on the occasion of the dedication of the National Cemetery at that place. And that under the inspiration of the hour, and the solemnity of ordeal of his position, he closed his speech with the statement: "We here highlY'resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain-that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom-and that Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." Like many others interested in the welfare of humanity, his life-work was not complete'<l. The d,ay and far into the night immediately preceding his death on the morning of October 27, was crowded to the full with labo路r and helpful acts for others, As late as ten o'clock, in an atmosphere of peace on earth and good will to man, and in the presence of most Venerable Past Grand Masters Dockery and Woods, two patriarchs in Freemasonry, and many others, he read one of the most beautiful and inspiring tributes to a departed friend and hrother that it has been our privilege to listen to. His last act at the end of a perfect day. When we parted late in the evening after a busy d'ay, we had no thought that before another dawn should lighten' the eastern sky

his Sabbath of eternity would 'set in and that his soul would have \ tasted the joyS and beauties of God's everlasting sunshine. W'hat a~ inspiration his life was to those of us who c~me in close contact with him. And how much brighter, better, and ha.p路 pier this world would be if we had more men like him! The. true or real value of a life depends on the service it renders or may have given to humanity; and not on the number of dollars br quantity of material things it may have brought under its control. On this basis he was one of the most valuable and truest men Freemasonry h3ls ever had. A great man in Missouri Freemasonry and a valuable and constructively helpful member of the Masonic Home Board has passed into the beyond. His breadth of vision and soundness of judgment have been of much va-Iue not only to the Home but also to the fraternity in this state. He was noted for his intelligence and high integrity. He was a loyal and conscientious Freemason and of a devout Christian spirit. Whatever he did', like all benefactors of the world's peoples, was done under the direction of the all-wise and merciful Father. . One of God's noblemen overtook us on life's highway; walked and talked with us for a short time, and then left us standing by the wayside, knOWing that we should meet him on ear~h no more. R. R. KREEGER, S. E. WAGGONER.

ALEXANDER M. DOCKERY. Alexander M. Dockery was born near Gallatin, Daviess County, Missouri, on February 11, 1845. He was the son of a pioneer Methodist Minister, and was the only child in the family to live to the years of maturity. He attended the District schools of his native county, but so far as is known he was not enrolled at any higher institution of learning. While still a young man he entered medical college from which he graduated and practiced the healing art for some eignt years. The practice of medicine did not appeal to him and he transferred his activities from this to 'banking and politics, to which he devoted himself through most of a long life. When twenty-one years of age he joined Jackson Lodge No. 82, and three years later was elected its Master. He afterwards served as the Master of Friendship Lodge No. 89, and Jamesport Lodge No.

201i • He was District Deputy Grand Master from his district for ten years. In 1881 he was elected Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Missouri, and was elected to the. Masonic Home Board in 1886, and was a member of that Board continuously. until 1'9126 except ten years while in Congress. He served as Grand High Priest of the Grand Chapter of Mis- souri in 1910; he was a member of Kadosh Commandery No. 21, Knights Templar and was its Commander in 1882. He was anointed to the Order of High Priesthood in 1870. His longest service and probably his greatest interest was in the Masonic Home and the Odd Fellows Home, in both of which institutions he was very active for many years. . On December 26, 1926, rich in honor and experience he was "cut down by the scythe of Time and, gathered. to the land where his Fathers had gone before him." 'Tis said that "Death loves a shining mark" and if that be true his arrows found the most conspicuous target that the ranks of Missour.i Freemasonry could furni,sh. Whether Most Worshipful Brother Dockery was the most brilliant and learned FreemaS'oil of Missouri might be dehated, but that he was the most striking and commanding figure in present day Masonic circles I think will be conceded. It is fitting that we should pause for a moment and consider the attributes that made him great-that made him the outstanding figure in Missouri ~ee masonry. High in the list of such an enumeration must be put his zeal for the institution, the progress he made in our mysteries, his unswerving fidelity to the principles of the order, and his wonderful appreciation of the necessity of preserving the ancient landmarks. He stated publicly that he considered being Grand Master of Masons of Missouri, if possible a greater honor than being Governor of the State; and this, after he had held both offices. He was not an orator as Wendell Phillips or Daniel Webster were orators. He was not learned in the knowledge of the schools and his addresses carri~ no ornate or well-rounded periods nor classical allusions, but .they were so clearly worded, so sensibly con. ceiv·ed andl forcibly expressed that they seldom failed to carry can· viction. One could not know him without ·acknowledging his exceeding great reasanableness---'his stock of common sense compensated for any lack of preliminary training. He had an ability to think clearly . and an ability to put his thoughts in homely but clear, forcible Eng-

!ish that carried conviction not only to the man in the street but to the intelligentsia as well. Among his many most valuable and outstanding abilities was an almost uncanny faculty of forecasting the outcome of political movements; for years he had his fingers on the public pUlse and was the first to sense the symptoms of political change and unrest. The arrhythmia and the unusual in the trend of political events came to him: as the first murmur of a failing organ might come to the ear of a trained physician before it was noticed by the possessor himself. He was a fervent hater of shams, imposture, hypocrisy, false tradition and deception of every kind. In the course of his many political battles his life has been searched with Ughted candles, but nothing mean or base was ever detected and 'he emerged from every conflict with the admiration of his friends and the respect of his opponents. Most WorshipfUl Brother Dockery represented' his State creditably for sixteen years in the Congress of the United States and served it faithfully as its Chief Ma.gtistrate for four years. Later in life, when his country was in the throes of the World Wlar, he served the Nation as Third Assistant Postmaster General in which capacity he directed the funds of the greatest financial institution in the World. As a citizen he was just to his country, and loyal to his government and in the discharge of his political duties faithful to the limit. His life illustrate.s as well as any I know, hOw many interests one man may serve if he conserves his time and employs his talents. He was a pillar in the church, a political leader and seer in his State, a factor to be reckoned with in the National Government, a success in business and yet Withal, found time to serve at least two fraternal orders in' every position from the most humble to the most exalted.. I have not read of, another man with so many and varied interests who has done so much for fraternalism. Men 'have come and men have gone On the Masonic Home Board, but Most Worshipful Brother Dockery, like the poet's brook, went on forever, because his services were recognized by the Missouri Craft as being invalua'ble. He was not one to quibble over small details .or unimportant matters, in fact it was only when something arose that seemed to him to undermine the vital principles of the order that he became a Saul among his brethren and thrust his 'stalwart form into the breach.

To those who have for so many y€ars been ass·oeiated with him in the management of this institution, no eulogy need by spoken nor monument need be erected over his remains, for he has made , an eternal memorial for himself in the hearts of all to whom truth is !he dearest possession. All the earth is the sepulcher of illustrious men and it is not the inscribed column which is the record of their virtues, but the unwritten memories of them in the minds and hearts of all their brethren. Although Most Wjorshipful Brother Dockery lived far beyond the Palmist's allotted time still his life never fell into the "sere and yellow leaf." He conquered the long chill twilight of advancing years as he had conquered most obstacles in his career. I had the pleasure of visiting him in his home less than a month before his death, and found his mental faculties as active, his interest as great and his sympathies as warm as I had known them in earlier years. He was fortunate in that although he lived to extreme old' age, he was enabled to rob it of its chief terrors for while his body was touched with the degeneration of senescence, his mental faculties were unclouded to the last. He spent much of his life with the learned, the great and the powerful of the earth, but when he felt life's fitful fever burning low, he came back to the green hills over which he had sported as. a barefoot boy and left his remains among the simple pastoral people he had' known so long and loved so well.

The Masons of the State may well be proud of this great monument they have built and maintained for 38 years and during that period have cared for as members of the Home family 1,62l. If the Masons and members of the Order of the Eastern Star, when in St. Louis, would visit and go over the Home, they could see the great work they are supporting for the benefit of the old and路 young of our Orders. May the blessings of God be upon this Home and路 members of the Orders aiding in this work, is my wish, and prayer. S. E. WAGGONER, President.

My Dear Brother Waggoner: To some extent this has been a year of completion of improvements planned, and contracts let during the last year. The remodeling of the Main Building, at the west, has been accomplished and our old Brethren are comfortably housed therein; the fireproofing of what was the Nurses' Home is nearing completion, and the Nursery for the children of tender years, constructed, furnished and is occupied. The Chapel, being erected by the Order of t~e Eastern Star of this State, will be ready for use in the near future. The activities of the Executive Committee become more varied and perp~exing as the years go by. Each year brings many new and interesting questions for settlement. The year just closing has been one of unusual interest. The Home family is incr"easing in number and each new member admitted brings some increase in the labors of the Committee, as well as the 'Superintendent and Matrons. The business affairs of the Home are taking on larger proportions and consequently demand more thoughtful consideration, not only by the 'Committee, but the full Board at its quarterly meetings. The administration of the, Sacred funds, so graciously and bounteously provided by the Members of the Masonic Fraternity and the Order of the Eastern Star for the comfort and happiness of their unfortunate, loved ones, requires the most serious thought of sincere men and women. As in past years, many questions of much importance to our

Appendix.

[Oct.

Home and the individual members of its family, have been presented for thoughtful and conscientious consideration. The demands on the Home are getting a little larger each year and its growth, not only in numbers, but in its activities and facilities, has been phenomenal. For the information of those now contributing to this Charity, it may not be amiss to state here that this beloved institution is now render~ng helpful assistance to two deserving classes of unfortunates which could not have been a~mitted a few years ago. The time' was, not as much as twenty years since, that those who, by reason of their physical condition, though in every way worthy and deserving, could not care for themselves, were not permitted to enter this Sacred retreat. This action on the part of the directors was necessary owing to inadequate funds and lack of facilities .for caring for tb,e sick of extreme age. To'meet this condition, the Grand Lodge, in 1909, authorized the erection of our present Hospital Building. This opened the door to many who, prior to that time, had not been able to gain admittance, and materially incrâ&#x201A;Źased the membership of the family, as well as the per capita cost of maintenance, as the operation of a hospital is necessarily very expensive. This enabled the Board to care for a greater number of the old and infirm, but did nOt provide for the care of the tenderest, sweetest and most helpless portion of humanity-our children, especially those '!nder three years of age. But, thanks to the generosity of the Fraternity, and the motherly devotion 'and loving hearts of the Advisory members of the Home Board-the ladies of the Order of the Eastern Star-this much-needed facility, in the nature of a Nursery to which children under three years can, and are now being admitted, has been provided. Again our noble allies, the members of the Eastern Star, showed their loyalty to the cause of the unfortunates by paying for the equipment and furnishings necessary to make the lit~le ones comfortable and happy. The first "babe" was admitted during July and is now comfortably housed in its new home. In this connection, it may be well to call attention to the fact that this broadening of the Home's service and the larger prospective list of eligibles, and the increasing number of applicants, will render it necessary that additional space be provided during the next few years. Our faith in those who are making this greatest of chari.ties possible is so strong and firm that we know our needs will be met as conditions demand.

The Fraternity has been generous in the past, and we are convinced that if the individual members could understand the good their contributions are accomplishing, there would be no question a90ut the future. So, in behalf of the comfortable old members, and the happy children of our Home family, and especially the "little tots", we say: Thank you. ' Fraternally yours, R. R. KREEGER, Chairman.

Dear Sir and Brother: The addition of the old Jewish Hospital b~ildings and grounds to our Masonic Home property gives strength, beauty an-d service to our beloved Institution. But in ordâ&#x201A;Źr to obtain best results many and varied changes were necessary to meet our requirements. We found conditions in the Jewish Hospital proper much worse than we had at first anticipated, in consequence of which the cost of repairs and changes was much more than we contemplated. We renovated the interior of this building from "cellar to garret" and as a result have very satisfactory quarters for our Brothers, and Brothers and their wives. The intel'ior of the connecting corridor and octagonal sun parlors together with the interior of the old nurses' building \vas of wood construction, hence not fireproof. These interiors were all removed and modern fireproofing installed instead. These buildings are now completed and partly occupied. May I add here that tbese buildings have been equipped throughout with new furniture supplied by the Advisory Board of the O. E. S. In the basement of the east wing of the "Masters Lodge" we have a fully equipped and up to date laundry, whicl;t is a credit to our institution and we are prOUd of it. The park acquired with the purchase of the .Jewish Hospital property is a source of much enjoyment for the elder members of the Home family. In this shady nook we have set apart spa.ce for a set of croquet; this pastime is being indulged in by quite a number of sisters and brothers. They play the game from "noon till early candle light", except rainy

[Oct.

days and Sundays. The two commodious sun parlors, situated between the main building (Masters Lodge) and the "old Nurses building" will add much to the enjoyment of our old people, for herein we have located two of the lOUd speakers of our Radio System. This system was recently installed by that noble band of untiring workers. "The Christmas Committee". We are under continuous obligations to this Committee for the many and varied treats and pleasures given to the Home family throughout the year. We have many and varied things for our children to enjoy but the most outstanding is perhaps the SWimming pool. Our playground equipment is fine and much enjoyed by the children. We surely and sincerely thank donors for these pleasures and blessings. The equipment of a sewing .room for our large girls meets a long desired and much needed want and the same may be said of ourvisitation room. These rooms are nicely and appropriately furnished and we thank the donors. The "third floor boys" department has been recently cleaned and painted, and the Advisory Board of the O. E. S. is furnishing new rugs throughout; also new single 路beds, springs and mattresses in lieu of the double 'beds heretofore used. So we are again under lasting obligations to these dear ladies for their good work. Last, but not by any manner of means least is the nursery for our babies. This is really the show place in our Home. These beautiful and useful furnishings were bought by and through the Advisory Board, but the money was donated by the Matrons and Patrons Cluo}} of St. Louis for the year 1924, and we thank (hem profo~ndlY and profusely. There are many organizations in St. Louis and St. Louis County that have done much for the pleasure and comfort of our Home family. These are the Christmas Committee, Advisory Board of the O. E. S., Rotary Club, Masters and Wardens ClUb, various Masonic Lodges and Chapters of the O. E. S" also many indiyiduals. to each and all of these we are under lasting obligations. For the further pleasure of our old people we hope to have set apart additional croquet space. Also space for pitching horseshoes. I feel sure that if we can keep our old folks路 busy they will be more contented and happier. I am thankful indeed that we have finished with our most important improvements, as I will be t~e better enabled to devote more of my time to the desires and needs of the mem.bers of our Home family. As to the discipline in our Home, will say that there

are many and varied problems to be considered and solved during the year. But none of a really serious nature during the past year. In handling many of these questions of discipline we have the able advice and assistance of the House Committee, and for the aid and co-operation of this Committee we are most grateful. Permit me to thank the Home organization for its co-operation and support. Fraternally submitted, JOHN T. SHORT, Superintendent.

REPOR:r OF ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE. Mr. Sol E. Waggoner, President, Masonic Home of Missouri. Dear Sir and R. W. Brother: As the close of the year approaches, your Committee is pleased to report a year of splendid co-operation on the part of all members of the Home Official Family and a satisfactory spirit of harmony in all departments. One of the outstanding achievements of the year is the completion of the Nursery for the little ones, which will be of wonderful help to the Masonic Fraternity in caring for children of tender years. We would be remiss in our duty did we not acknowledge our appreciation of the splendid advice, co-operation and assistance given by the members of the Advisory Board of the Order of the Eastern Star. The work of this Board has been especially helpful during the past year. Fraternally submitted, ORESTES MITCHELIJ, W. W. MARTIN, FRANK R. WIELANDY, Committee.

[Oct."

Our family has been a large and happy one this year. We have admitted into the Home during this year 23 children and 69 adults, and there have gone out from the Home, by reason of graduation, death and other causes, 26 children and 52 adults. So that our happy 'family now consists of 122 children and 238 adults, giving us in the aggregate 360 members as of this date. The two, outstanding events of the year are: The moving of our old people into the old Jewish Hospital Building, now officially named the Masters' Lodge, and the segregation of the boys and girls into separate buildings. These changes have worked out most satisfactorily to ,the Management and have added much to the comfort of our Circle. Our much-talked of and long-desired nursery was opened and already has one occupant. We wish every Freemason in the S'tate of Missouri could visit our "Nursery", and, for that matter, ali the departments of our Home, where they are always most welcome to the Management. The Christmas Committee selected by and from the various Masonic Lodges and Bodies in St. Louis has far outgrown its name, and by its generous gifts and manifold activities throughout the year, has brought much cheer and comfort to the members of our Home. Likewise, certain Lodges, a number of Chapters and many individuaJs have given generously of their time and money to bring added sunshine and comfort to both our children and old people. The Advisory Board of the Eastern Star, like Tennyson's Brook, goes on forever with its countless contributions to the Home family, of which the outstanding event is always the dinner on New Year's Day, when there is not only the dinner, but various gifts, including a certain amount of money for each one. This year the Order of the Eastern Star has outdone all previous years, not only by furnishing the Masters' Lodge, nursery quarters, and sewing room for the girls, at a great expense, but it has actually torn down our old, inadequate and dilapidated Chapel, and erected on the same site, at, a cost of $75,000.00, the beautiful, commodious and modern Chapel which now adorns our grounds. All thanks and praise to our dear Sisters of this beloved Sorority. Your Committee has been sorely troubled this year because it has been obliged to refuse admission to the Home' of a number of worthy Brethren and Sisters, who, as a class, are ineligible. These applicants fall, naturally, into' two groups, viz:

1927.]

Appendix.

293,

(a) Persons of unsound mind. (b) Persons suffering from cancer, consumption and other contagious diseases. These classes of applicants are not only ineligible under our charter, but for obvious reasons should be taken care of outside the Home, where there is neither space nor equipment, even if adequate funds were available, or in some way provided, for the proper care and relief of these worthy, distressed Brothers and Sisters. Therefore, after full discussion, and thorough consideration, your Committee makes bold to ask you to recommend to the Grand Lodge at its Annual Session in October' next, that this serious situation and inequality in giving r~lief, can and should be cured without in any way endangering the finances of Grand Lodge, by the establishment of a Charity Committee, whose duty it shall be to assist those worthy, distressed applicants falling under the two classes above set out, and for the purpose of providing such Committee with necessary funds, said Grand Lodge shall forthwith- out of funds now on hand, transfer to said Committee, ' five thousand d~llars, with full power to use all or any portion thereof, for the relief of such cases as !pay properly come to the attention of said Committee from time to time. Tb,e Grand Lodge will, of course, give proper authority to such Committee, clearly define its scope of action, and adequately protect the funds intrusted to its handling. Our sincere thanks are always extended to the various Lodges, Chapters, Bodies, and persons who have given of their time and substance for the cheer and comfort of the members of our Masonic Home during the year. The affairs of the Home are in every way in a condition satisfactory to your Committee. Fraternally submitted, JOSEPH S. McINTYRE, Chairman.

[Oct.

during the past year ending September 1, 1927. Most of our children have enjoyed good health during the entire year. We have not had more than three or four contagious cases. I attribute this to the fact that most of our children are vaccinated ~nd immunized against this type of diseases. We have had a larger' number of major operative cases this year than ever in the history of the Home, and am glad to say no 'fatalities have resulted. This has been due not only to the scientific work of the surgeons, but also to the most excellent nursing under the supervision of our . head nurse, Mrs. Inez Miller. I wish to thank each member of the medical staff for the kind and prompt assistance and also Ml'R. McCue, Matron of the old people, who has so kindly assisted us in time of need, and Mrs. Waller, mother of the children, who' Is always on the alert and to whom we go for advice and comfort. I wish also to extend to you and each member of the Board of Managers my deepest gratitude for the help you have given me.

REPORT OF LEGAL COMMITTEE. Sol E. TiVaggoner, Esq., President Masonic Home of Missouri, Dear Sir and Brother: M. W. Bro. Dorsey A. Jameson died July 12, 192,6. For twentyfive years he had served the Masonic Home of Missouri as its attorney with exceptional ability and fidelity. Upon the organization of the Board for the present year it was deemed advisable by the Board of Directors to leave the office of attorney vacant, and to refer all routine and minor matters requiring the attention of an attorney to the Legal Committee of the Board for their consideration and advice, leaving to such committee the employment of an attorney (not a member of the Boaro.) when in the opinion of the Committee the service of such an attorney was needed to protect the interest of the Home in any case pending in Court. Under this plan your Committee has handled without expense to the Home, practically all legal matters arising during the year and have found it necessary in. but one case to employ counsel. We submit the following form of will which may be used by any person desiring to make a bequest to the Masonic Home of Missouri. WILL

KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE, PRESENTS that I, .. of sound mind and disposing memory, do make, publish and declare this as and for my last will and testament, hereby revoking any and all wills and testaments by me heretofore made. FIRST: It is my will and desire, and I hereby direct that all my just debts, including the expense of my last illness and funeral be paid in full. SECOND: I give and bequeath unto the Masonic Home of Missouri, a corporation organized and ex~sting; under and in pursuance of the laws of the State of Missouri, the sum of . Dollars. (Testator may also insert such other provisions in his will as he sees fit.) IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and seal this day of , 19 .. Signed, sealed, published and declared by the above named ............................................Testator, in the presence of us, who at his request, and in his presence, and in the presence of each other, haVe

According to the law of our State it is absolutely necessary that the signature of the testator be witnessed by two witnesses. Respectfully, ARCH A. JOHNSON, ORESTES MITCHELL, JOS. S. McINTYRE, Legal Committee.

LEITER TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.FROM THE MATRON OF THE CHILDREN. The call from the President of the Home Board for our yearly report reminds us that another year's record has been made and is now numbered with the past. It is always a pleasure to me to either write or talk about our children. Of course they are not perfect, and occasionally some cause much worry;路 however, taking them as a whole, a better group cannot be found. Our babies are real sunshine in the Home. Our four girls in Business College are doing good work. One of our girls, Josephine Stone, finished High School in June and has entered St. Luke's Hospital for training and we are glad to know that many Home children aim high and reach their goal. When I think of all the Fraternity is doing for these children I think of the following lines from Webster: ' "If we work upon. marble, it will perish; if we work upon brass, ' time will efface it; if we rear temples, they will crumble into dust; but if we work up,on immortal souls, if we imbue them with principles, with the just fear of God and love of fellowmen, we engrave on these tablets something which will. brighten all eternity." The three long felt needs in my department were established by the Home the past year, namely: The Nursery for babies which was furnished by the 1924 Matron's and Patron's Club of St. Louis; the Sewing Room for girls, and Reception room for children furnished by the 1926 Matron's and Patron's Club of St. Louis.

The O. E. S. Advisory Board has promptly responded to every ;; call made by the Home. They are always ready, ever willing to give their time and money entrusted to them, for the needs and comforts of the Home family. The Christmas Committee has given the family many pleasant outings, ,beautiful gifts at Christmas time and a wonderful radio which will give pleasure the year round. The donations and entertainments have been more numerous the past year than ever before and it would be impossible to give each the proper space they deserve. We have had some serious sickness among our children the past year, but thanks to the time, care and attention given them by Dr. Rice and his assistants, they are again hale and hearty. I wish to express my thanks to each member of the Board and House Committee for their advice and counsel which has made my problems easier to solve. I love my work and have always tried to do my duty to everyone concerned. Fraternally, WILMOTH 짜lALLER,Matron.

LETTER TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FROM THE MATRON OF THE OLD PEOPLE. Another year has passeo. Our old people number 240; 128 men and 112 women. There has been quite an increase, although some of our old people have passed away, many others have come. The general health has been good due to the careful attention of Dr. Rice and staff of nurses. Sixty-three of the old people are hospital patients. The Master's Lodge 'has adoed 97 rooms making it possible to give a room to all, thus adding to the happiness and contentment of the members. The beautiful grounds are a real pleasure. Many of the members have had vacations. All have been splendidly entertained during the year. We wish to thank Pilgrim Lodge, Tower Grove Lodge, Past Matron's and Past Patron's Club. We thank the Christmas Committee for the Christmas presents, shows, watermelon feasts, chicken dinner and the radio. We thank the Eastern Star, Job's Daughters, and DeMolays. I desir~ to thank the 'President, Board of Directors and Superintendent, and hope my care of the old people and working for the good of the Home meets with their approval. Fraternally, LUELLA McCUE, Matron.

REPORT OF ADVISORY COMMITTEE. August 25, 1927.

Mr. Sol E. Waggoner, President, President Masonic Home Board, St. Louis, Mo. Dear Sir and Brother: It is with pride and gratification that we report to you the activities of the O. E. S. Advisory Board for the past year. A review of our records discloses much accomplished, and plenty still in store for completion. Before the close of 1926 we had furnished 98 rooms in the newly acquired west building, now known. as "Masters' Lodge", in which are housed the old couples and men. The rooms are beautiful and comfortable, and we feel that our selection of rugs, dressers, chairs, tables, beds, springs, mattresses and wardrobes are in perfect harmony with the other appointments of the Home. We have placed rubber runners on the halls and inclines of this new section and replaced many in the other buildings. With enlarged quarters came the demand for a greater supply of sheets, pillows and pillow cases, towels, spreads, and blankets, which we cheerfully furnished, at the same time purchasing crash, table linens and other needs for general use. It was a day of glad rejoicing when these rooms were completed, and our dear elder members happily established therein. The dawn of 1927 was a great and glorious O. E. S. day at the Masonic Home, because of the party given there under our auspices, and the joys of the occasion will ever linger in the memory of those in attendance, especially the members of the Home family. From the Chapters throughout the State, had come manifestations of Happy New Year thoughts in the shape of numerous gifts for every man, woman, and child of the household. A repetition of Christmas day with its delicious dinner and good cheer. This memorable event could furnish material enough to fill all the time and space you would care to give us -in your pamphlet, so suffice to say that we hope to annually repeat with emphasis, th.e happiness of this occasion. There are four outstanding features connected with this year's work to which we point with more than ordinary pride, namely the Chapel, the nursery, the children's reception room and the girls' sewing room.

The cornerstone laying of the new and larger Chapel took place Saturday afternoon, July 16th, with appropriate services by the O. E. S., under the direction of Sister Adele A. Wissmath, Worthy Grand Matron, assisted by other Grand Officers, the O. E. S. Chorus, and the children of the Home. Brother John Pickard, Worshipful Grand Master, assisted by Past and present Grand Officers, conducted the customary Masonic cornerstone laying ceremony, in a most impressive manner. This marked the first step路 in the realization of our fond hope for a Chapel which in every way can compare favora;bly with the otlier magnificent buildings on the grounds. Our sincere and ardent thanks are herein tendered to the Masonic Home Board for the -kind and generous privilege granted the O. E. S. in enlarging upon the space to be occupied for this purpose. We regret the fact that the building\ will not be ready to dedicate when the Grand Chapter meets in October, but believe that Brother Clymer, Architect, is "making haste slowly", with the, sole object of making our funds reach their utmost capacity. The Nursery, for which the 1924 Matrons and Patrons of St. Louis and St. Louis County had contributed $3600.00, is without a doubt, the most beautiful, dainty and complete in its furnishings of any like quarters in the State. Visitors express their admiration in series of exclamations of approval, and we are delighted. The same holds true of the children's reception room on the ground floor of the Administration Building, which was appropriately and artistically equipped with reed furniture, ratania rugs, mirrors and draperies, by the 1926 Matrons and Patrons of St. Louis and St. Louis County. They are also responsible for the electric sewing machines, irons, cutting tables, pressing boards, long mirror, and every device which goes to make a wonderful sewing room for the girls. As our report for 1927 is coming to a close, furniture is being delivered for the north wing of the "Masters' Lodge", and by the time this goes to print, we w~ll have completely furnished the thirty-three rooms in that section, just as in the south portion. For the boys' dormitory, which has been renovated and painted, we have purchased linoleum rugs for every room, and will be glad to furnish new beds if desired. As the Home enlarges its capacity, the family increases, expenses become heavier and we realize that our efforts in its behalf

300

[Oct.

must be greater, in order to meet the demands, and we shall make "Progress" our motto. Donations have been gratifying, and have yielded the following amounts: Christmas Fund, $3,820.39; St. John's Day Fund, $3,852.25 ; Chapel, $3,947.76; miscellaneous, $6,801.00, and interest on bonds netted a very neat sum. That our work may eveI' be as pleasant and harmonious as at the present time is OUI' earnest desire and endeavor. Yours fraternally, ELLA JEAN FLANDERS, President, EDITH V. BADER, Secretary, JOSEPHINE S. FISHER, Treasurer.
