REPORT ON CORRESPONDENCE.

To the Most W01'shipful Grand Lodg(! of Missouri A. F. and A. M.:

The Annual Report on 路Correspondence is herewith presented. It contains a review of the Proceedings of all the Grand Lodges

of the United States, except Georgia whose Proceedings have not reached the writer, and reviews the Proceedings of many foreign Grand Lodges. The oneness of English speaking Freemasonry the world over is very evident to him who scans these reports from our Brethren beyond the S8as. A healthy growth is noted almost everywhere. Fraternally submitted, CORONA H. BRIGGS, Correspondent.

13 Grand Officers; 6. Past Grand Masters; 1 Past Grand Secretary; 740 Representatives of Lodges. 51 Representatives of Grand Lodges were present; Missouri was represented by Hesariah G. Earnest. Distinguished Visitors.

Nelson Williams, who had presided over all the Bodies of the York Rite in Ohio, who represents the Grand Lodge of Alabama near the Grand Lodge of Ohio, and who is now General Grand Conductor of the General Grand Council of the United States, Royal and Select Masters, and David W. Crossland, Past Imperial Potentate of the Mystic Shrine, were introduced. Later the Grand Lodge was called from labor to refreshment and the Grand Matron of the Eastern Star and other Grand Officers and Past Grand Officers were introduced. We quote from the address of M. W. Bro. Williams: "Freemasonry maybe said to be like some grand old cathedral that has withstood the storms of ages, but notwithstanding the flight of years, stands as a monument to man's skill and ingenuity and an evidence of God's sparing hand. If we lool( at it from the outside, at its moss-covered walls, its weather stained spire, at its stained glass windows and roof, we may be impressed with the thought that it is simply a musty old pile, standing in a deserted place and surrounded by tombs. But once get within the cathedral and everything is changed. Instead of being dark and gloomy, it is bright, and cheerful. Its doors swing freely on their hinges, but sentinels are on guard to sec that none enter who would despoil the sacred place. The sanctuary is gilded with gold and dedicated to God. The walls are decorated with lessons from the Sermon on the Mount and the Ten Commandments, while here and there are truisms brought down from patriarchal days. The stained glass windOWS, so unattractive from the outside, now appear as a canopy of rainbows, and the light from heaven penetrating the different colored prisms, diffuses its myriad rays over all within, while the great

organ peals forth in thunderous tones and the choir and audience join in singing hosannahs to God. "And so, my Brethren, it is with Freemasonry. Those who are on the outside may concede that we are an ancient institution; that in on.e form or another, eithel' as an operative system, or a speculative science, we date back many centuries, but they say 'What a dreary, somber onler you are. Your doors swing outward and your Tiler stands with threatening- sword to see that none enter, but such as are qualified and have permission. The voice of woman and the prattle of children are not heard within your walls. Your forms and ceremonies are meaning-less; your symbolisms are but momentious of a superstitious !Jast; you are anti-Bible, anti-religion, anti-Christ.' "How little, my Bretlnen dl) they know of our Fraternity. They do not know that the Holy Bible is given as the rule and guide of our faith, and that it is the great light of Masonry. Thcy do not know that it is ever present in our Lodge rooms and that without it all is dark. Freemasonry is 'not a religion, but the handmaiden路 of religion and the two, walking hand in hand, point out to man the means of acquiring the sum of human happiness on earth below and eternal happiness in the world to come. No man was ever less a Christian by haVing been a. worthy Mason. They do not know that we read the same lessons. sing the same songs, and offer the same prayers that are read, sung and offered in the foremost churches 0f the land. It is true that we carefully guard the doors of our Lodge to sce that none enter, but such as are qualified and ha ve permission. This is done to prevent -the introduction among the workmen of the vulgar and profane; of the idlers and the mischief makers, whose presence would bring the Order into disrepute. There is very little secrecy in Freemasonry, although it is one of the pillars of the Order. We have our secret modes of recognition by which \ve are enabled to ma.ke ourselves known to Brethren of the Order \vhercver we may meet them, but the gTeat central idea of our institution is that iVTasonic Charity, which is as boundless as the world; as open as the revelations of God and as free as the air of the heaven."

Grand Master's Address.

The Grand Master reported the laying of eight cornerstones. In one instance, a Brother whom he had authorized to lay a corner-

stone for him, declined to proceed with the ceremony when he discovered that it was not a cornerstone, but only a thin slab with no date thereupon and no cavity in which a deposit could be made. The Grand Master approved this refusal and recommended the adoption of the followin.g edict, which might be considered in other Grand Jurisdictions: "No cprnerstone shall be laid with Masonic ceremonies after the ('rection of the building has proceeded so far that it cannot 1>e

Dancing in Masonic Halls.

This question has disturbed our Grand Master, as it has annoyed others. He said: "There is no law of Grand Lodge against a subordinate Lodge leasing any part of its temple for the purpose of holding dances. It is a matter which addresses itself to the wise judgment and discretion of the Lodge. ] f there is serious objection to it on the part of any substantial portion of the Lodge, I do not think even a majority should force the matter on the objecting minority. It is also my further Ol)inion. that the Master, if he deems it derogatory to the welfare of the Lodge, would have the right to forbid the use of the Lodge for that or any other non-Masonic purpose,"

The Missouri Grand Lodge has forbidden the use of Masonic Halls for dancing. vVe find no Report on Correspondence. ARIZONA. Grand Master, George Emet McMillan, Grand Master, Elected, Lloyd C.

James Raymond Malott, Grand Orator, delivered an oration on "Masonry and Government", from which we quote: "The purpose of g'overnment or politkal science, as defined by Albert Pike. is to seek to detennine ho"" political and personal free~ dom may be secured and perpetuated----freedom of thought and opin-

ion, freedom from despotism of €overy kind. And to this extent political science and Masonry have a mutual aim. "My personal in terest in the aspect of Masonry towards govel'nment was ::Ll'oused by two co-incidences. The first was the fact that the development of speculative l\lasonry which in 1723 crystalized in the organization of the Grano Lodge of England coincided with the movement which had for it.!" object human freedom from desputism. The second coincidence was that the American Declaration of Indep€ndence, the American Revolution, and the American Constitution were so largely the work of individual Masons. "At the time speculative Masonry first began to grow and develop, England was passing through a series of political experiences, as the result of which a certain measure of liberty, both political and re:ligious, would be acquired only to be lost time after time through the despotism of the King and the Church :-either Catholic or Prote8tant: Individual liberty was not established as a right but depended upon the will of the ruler and his ability and power to enforce that will. Moreovel', ChUl'ch and State were supposed to be indissolubly united, to such an extent that every Mason was obliged, by our ancient charges, to be of the religion of his own country or nation. From the time of our adoption of the Constitution of 1723, however,Masons were ohligated to 'that religion in which all men agree' leaving their particular opinions to themselves. "The importance of this step by Freemasollry cannot be overemphasized, for al though it a!)pears to apply to rel igious fre(~dom, in that age it was a startling p01itic,~J expression to the effect that liherty of conscience was of greater importance than the union of Church and State. "In another respect, also, that expression was of gl'(~at import; The political theory of the day which had been im!)ressed upon the peoples of the world by such monarchs as could enforce their views, was that Kings ruled as God'~.; representatives on earth: hence the King could do no wrong. He who opposed the arbitrary ,viII of any King or his officers not only subjected himself to the penalties inflicted by the Government, but came into conflict with the religion of his country, Which usually dominated or was dominated by the Crown: and ",,'hleh controlled his rigl.t to think. This theory that governments were divinely made and were not subject to the will of the people was known as that of the 'divine rights of Kings.' "Opposed to this doctrine was one gradually developing and growing among the liberty-loving people of the wOl'lll side by side with the growth and development of speculative 1\1asonry. .Just as one of the objectives of spesilla tive l\lasonry was to proeure and Sl~cure justice to all men, that the brotherhood of man might become a fact instead of an ideal, so d'id this politic;).1 doctrine seek to secure justice to all men in a practical way by developing support for the theory that governments were instituted to protect 'individual rights' and that such subjects were entitled to maintain

those rights by force, if necessary, when a despot attempted to disregard them. "The extent to which Maso.ns supported this new theory of political science becam~ strikingly noticeable when the two political theories came inlO conflict prior to the war between the American Colonists and England. The underlying cause of the American Revolution was not a desire of t.he Colonists to separate from England. That Revolution was the result of the attempt of King George the Third to re-establish the power of the Crown at the expense of the rights of t.he people. In England a large body of the people bitterly opposed this attempt, but in America, three thousand miles away, the King's purpose was frustrated by war. "Trained to believe in the br'otherhood of man, in freedom of conscience, in equality and liberty, the Masons of America were faced with the option of fighting for the establishment of their :Masonic principles or of abandoning them. How they responded is a matter with which you all are familiar."

for Mrs. W. M. Kent, wife of our Grand' Master, for the manner in which she aided him in the performance of his duties as Grand Master during his administration."

We have no information concerning the nature of the work which she performed. Honorary Members.

2,342 Honorary Members are reported, or a total of 38,606 members including Honorary members. In his address the Grand Master called attention to the fact tha't the increasing number of Honorary members was making serious to the income of the Masonic Home and School, and recommended that hereafter Lodges be required to pay dues for such members. We failed to find a report of any action on this recommendation. Physical Qualification.

The Grand Master seemed to favor greater liberality in the matter of physical qualifications, and the Grand Lodge adopted a resolution which says.: "So-called physical defects shall not be a bar or inhibition for membership in our Fraternity, merely because an applicant cannot by reason of some physical defect give all the signs, steps and grips."

We fear that some of our Grand Lodges are getting too broad on this subject. Someone has described the Platte as a river "One mile wide and one inch deep." At Refreshment.

At 8 P. M., November 15, the members of the Grand Lodge, with members of the Grand Chapter of the Eastern Star assembled in the auditorium of the Scottish B.ite Cathedral. 'The Grand Orator A. B. Arbaugh, delivered an address that was well worth hearing, and Mrs. Betty .Jean Sparks, Grand Matron of the Eastern Star, "was introduced and delivered a most thoughtful and beautiful address, reflecting the principles of the Eastern Star, as a co-worl{er with the Order of Masonry. Her remarks were received with the utmost enthusiasm." Western Star Lodge No.2 gave an invitation to all members of the Grand Lodge to attend a Birthday Party to be given November 28, 1927, to Fay Hempstead, who would be eighty years young on that day. We find no Report on Correspondence.

M. W. Bro. A. A. Hankerson, Past Grand Master of Washington, was introduced. Grand Master's Address.

The Grand Master laid eight cornerstones and reported seventeen lai-d by others. A Word of Warning. "I have constantly during the year urged UIlon the Brethren the necessity of not permitting the presentation by Lodges of programs which would tend in the slightest degree to bring reproach upon the Institution and I have, without hesitation, condemned the character of entertainment which is too frequently given in gatherings made up of Mal:;ons. I cannot but feel that the high standards of Masonry are being lowered when g-roups, composed of Masons and meeting at weekly luncheons, will permit the form of entertainment which is heralded through the columns of the newspapers or by circulars, and then presented under circumstances which nullify any contention that such numbers are but artistic efforts. There is grave danger that unless checked, the bad example set will be followed by Lodges, and I, therefore, recommend that all expression of disapproval of these questionable entertainments be given by this Grand Lodge, with the warning that unless discontinued, further action will be taken against those responsible therefor."

The Grand Lodge approved this "timely warning." We quote the conclusion of the Address.

He says:

"That Masonry stands committed

obedience to the law, that it stands for tolerance and for charity, both of purse and mind. The temple of Masonry has been building for centuries; it is a splendid structure which has attracted the attention of men in every walk of life and they have eagerly sought to enter its enclosures and participate in its mission. "That temple has withstood the savage attacks which envy, malice and intolerance have made upon it for ages past, and we know today that no outward power can destroy it. But what of the attacks by those who are within the sacred Precends? '.rhe assaults of enemies may leave no marks upon the edifice, but the mud east upon it by th~ughtless, heedless Brethren may produce sta.ins which only time can eradicate. "This, then has been my admonition to the Brethren-to so act, wherever you may be, that no discredit shall be brought upon the Fraternity, an.d my Brethren, if, as the years go by, your minds Rhould revert for even a mement to him who now addresses you, think of him as one who valued your friendship, appreciated your favors, and who admonished you to KEEP MASONRY CLEAN."

United States Flag.

The Committee on Ritual reported that a ceremony for the reception and retirement of the flag 路would be prepared. by the Grand Lecturer and presented to the Lodges. In Missouri we say to each entered apprentice: "In the States you a,e to be a quiet and peaceful citizen, true to YOUl" government and just to your country; you are not to countenance disloyalty or rebellion, but patiently submit to legal author'ity; and conform with cheerfulness to the government of the country in which you live."

To add anything to this looks like a work of supererogation. Oration.

We quote a paragraph from the eloquent oration delivered by Brother Fletcher A. Cutler, Grand Orator: "The philosophy of Masonic work is to prepare, educate and train its membership for the higher relations of life. It has faith in mankind. It invites his confidence. It begets his trust. It invokes his loyalty. 'It believes that the humblest life launched upon the widened sea of humanity, has within it the slumbering forces of the constituent elements of a noble manhood, awaiting but the touch of a sympathetic soul to arouse and stimulate the inherent qualities of the mind. And this is the purest glory which virtuouR ambition can purpose. The power of awakening, enlightening, elevating our fellow creatures, may, with peculiar fitness be called divine, for there is no agency so beneficent and sublime as that which exerts an exalted sway over human souls. It is the surest test of greatness. We admire, indeed, the energy which subdues the mate~

rial creation, or develops the physical resources of a State. But it is a nobler might which calls forth the intellectual and moral resources of a people, communicates new impulses to society, throws into circulation new and striving thoug;hts, gives the mind a new consciousness of its faculties and arouses and fortifies the will tQ a resolut.e purpose of well doing. Blessed, indeed, is he who speaks with a life-giving enel'g;y to other minds, breathing intc them the love of truth and virtue, strengthening them to suffer in a good cause, lifting; t.hem to high and lofty ideals."

Correspondence.

The Report of Brother .Jesse M. Whited differs from the usual form. Our reviewer does not take up the Grand Jurisdictions in alphabetical order, but presents various topics and refers in his own peculiar way to the Reports which have reached him. He refers to the dedication of our Masonic Temple in St. Louis in lfJ26. But wanders far afield when he gives us this ,bit of news: "Missouri. The Correspondence Committee report is the work of a Commitee of which Brother James L. Mathews is chairman. The relJOrt follows the old style, and is well written and full of interesting items."

Rev. Arthur Mather, D. D., has written our reports for some years. How his name could have been transmogrified into James L. Mathews is more than the writer can understand. COLORADO.

Deceased Grand Masters.

The names of thirty-one Past Grand Masters, who have joined t.he Silent majority, were called and, after a response by the Grand Master, a prayer was offered by the Grand Chaplain and "Face to Face" was sung by Brother Llewelyn Jones. Grand Master's Address.

The Grand Master held: "That it is not in the province of a Lodge, as SUCll, to sponsor the organization of a Boy Scout TI路oop."

Concerning Sunday Picnics, he says: "Masonic Sunday picnics given under the auspices of any Masonic organization serve no good purpose, shocl, the sensibilities and offend the conscience of some members of the very organization sponsoring the outings and ought noOt to be l)ermitted."

The Grand Lodge approved his stand on both items. Colorado, like Missouri, forbids Lodge meetings on Sunday except for funeral purposes. The Grand Master reports 30 official visits in which, by grouping,60 Lodges were reached. Cornerstones.

He laid twelve cornerstones, and another was laid by Missouri's Grand Representative, Brother Frank G. Mirick. "Use of Unauthorized Halls."

On this subject the Grand Master says: "In compliance with the request of the worshipful Master of a Denver Lodge, on January 25, 1927, I granted my special permission for the holding of a special Communication of that Lodge in the Auditorium of the Number One Scottish Rite Bodies of Denver on the a.fternoon and evening of February 24, 1927. Invitations had been extended to the officers and members of another Lodge to confer the Third Degree at that time; the regular Lodge hall was not sufficiently large to accommodate the anticipated attendance and none of the duly authorized Masonic Halls of' Denver were available for use at the time.

is contrary to t.he spirit of t.he Instit.ution. Seemingl~r, the tendency to over dramatize is difficult, if not impossible, to control in the presence of a large crowd assembled in the unfamiliar surroundings, The atmoSt)here smacks of the theatre or circus and the reverent attention to which we are accustomed in our Masonic halls is con-' ~picuous by its absence. "On MaTch 4, 1927, I directed the Grand Secretary to notify all of the Denver Lodges that, in my opinion, the interests of the Craft would be best served by my refusing all requests for permission to hold Lodge Communications in halls other than those duly approved and regularly used for such purposes, and instructed him to notify the Denver Lodges that the Auditoriums of the two Scotth;h Rite Cathedl'als in Denver are not so approved and their use wouls not be nermitted."

In what the Grand Master says there is food for thought. The Committee on Jurisprudence, to which the matter was referred reported recommending that the matter be left to the descretion of the Grand Master, and 'this report was adopted. The week following the Annual Com.munication of the Grand Lodge the General Grand Council of Royal and Select Masters and the General Grand 'Chapter of Royal Arch Masons held their Triennial Convocations in the auditorium of one of the two Scottish Rite Cathedrals of Denver. Twenty four years ago the present Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge of Missouri was raised at a Lodge meeting held in a side room of the church of which he was pastor and the three principal stations were filled by three Methodist Preachers who were Past Grand Masters of Missouri. The only survivor of the three is the writer of this Report. Correspondence:

Bro. Stanley C. Warner gives half the space devoted to Missouri to an account of the dedication of the Four Million Dollar Masonic Temple by our Grand Lodge at its annual Communication in 1926. With evident approval of the work he says: "The Special Committee on 'Fatherless Children of France' reported that it felt justified in saying the Grand Lodge had never spent any sum of money which carried with it more genuine sunshine and happiness into the lives of its recipients than did that sent to the little one~ in our Sister RepUblic."

We quote from the Address: "Reports of the activities of our Sister Jurisdictions, which have reached us from time to time during the year, show that our Fraternity everywhere is actively engaged in its splendid work for the betterment of mankind. In the last decade Freemasonry has not only increased in numbers far beyond our expectations, but it has multiplied wonderfully its humanitarian activities and has enlarged the field of its endeavors. At no time in its history, perhaps, has its universality been more in evidence, nor has a closer union existed between our Grand Jurisdictions. Appeals for assistance from our stricken Brethren in different parts of our country have met with a generous and widespread response, and it is not too much to say that the vision of united Masonry, working for the common good, along 1)1'Oper and approved lines is nearer realization than ever before. "If I might be allowed the realization of my fondest Masonic wish, it would be that the future would hold for Our great Fraternity such wise leadership and such unselfish guidance and direction as would implant in the heart of every true citizen of our country an appreciation of the privileges which he enjoys under our free and enlightened government, an unshaken loyalty to its teachings and principles and the application in his daily life of those rules of conduct toward his fellowmen which Freemasonry strives to inculcate."

Cornel'stone Ceremonial.

In reporting the laying of the Cornerstone of the Fourth Presbyterian Ohurch, the Grand Master has this to say which we commend to the thoughtful consideration of our Brethren who think we ought not to lay the cornerstones of churches with Masonic Ceremonies: "One of the gratifying things in connection with our work in laying cornerstones is the very marked appreciation which is at ways evidenced by those for whom the service is performed, and especially so in the case of church congregations. It is natural that this should be so, because of the character of our service and the frequent and reverent references made therein to the Great Architect of the Universe. The common aims of the Church and the Masonic Fraternity, make it especially appropriate for us to lay cornerstones of a new church building, a.nd I was glad to have the opportunity which this occasion furnished to publicly proclaim our attitude toward religious organizations."

The Grand Lodge expressed its approval of what he said.

As is customary in the District of Columbia he visited all the Lodges during the year. That can be done in a small Grand Jurisdiction but our Missouri Grand 'Master who had visited more than a hundred Lodges in, seven or eight months can reach only a small fraction of our Lodges.

and love boundless as the universe; in other words, to the ]!;ternal Being whose most familiar name is God."

He has this to say of men who opposed the Bible: "Thomas Paine said, 'I have gone through the Bible as a woodsman goes through the forest with his axe. I have cut the law givers, )wophets, evangelists and a!)ostles down. The priest may stick them in the ground again; they can never mal,e them grow.' "Voltaire said in 1742, 'a hundred years fl'om now there will be no such thing as Christianity. Crush the wretch.' "I heard Charles Bradlaugh, when J was a boy, boasting that he had proved God did not exist. "I heard Robert Ingersoll lecture for $300 per night on 'The Mistakes of Moses'. Perha!)s he has been dead long enough to have discovered the mistakes of Ingersoll. "So it has ever been and so it will be to the end. Errors and errorists will rise, flourish and pass away. But 'he that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh, the LO:'d shall hold them in del路ision'."

He is optimistic and answers those who are ta!king abollt the "good old times:" "Those 'good old times' meant the stage coach instead of the Orange Blossom Special; plunging the bleeding stump into boiling pitch, instead of modern surgel'y and anesthetics; six-year-old boys naked in cold mines, twelve or fourteen hours a day, instead of Boy Scout movements, high schools and colleges; deat.h, if you offered your own prayer instead of one in a prayer book; the rack, thumbscrew, exile, burning, hanging, if you chose your own religion instead of one foisted on you by a priest or !)Qpe; persecution so bitter that our Masonic fathers were stoned, drawn asunder, held their communications in dens and caves of the earth, destitute, afflicted, tormen ted, of whom the world was not worthy."

Again we quote: "No man, unless he has become callous to the finest, most delicate, sacred things of life, can pass through successive steps of Masonic initiative and be quite the 'same man that he was before. J have seen quite a little flippancy and gay frivolity in the candidate. I have heard him crack jokes and say funny things about 'riding the goat', climbing greased poles, and branding with hot irons. That was in the ante-room. But when he enters the Lodge room, and the gloomy stillness is broken by the solemn strains of 'Nearer, My God, to Thee', 'Lead, Kindly Light' or 'Solemn Strikes the Funeral Chime', and he is reminded that no one should enter upon any great 01' important undertaking without first invoking the aid of Deity, and that, though at other stages he had others to pray for him, now he must pray for himself, by this time all Oippancy has vanished, all pride humbled, and the angel of seriousness, long denied an en-

He closes with these words: "Glorious Masonry! Beautiful as the angel that sat in the shadows of Joseph of Arimathea's empty tomb, strong as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, eternal as the river that flows from the throne of God, and as the tree whose leaves are fOl' the heal ing of the nations."

Appendix.

The Grand Master refers to the early history of the Grand Lodge in these words: "In response to the first call for an annual meeting of this Grand Lodge, there assembled in the City of Jacksonville on Monday, October 20, 1840, twenty-three members of the Masonic Fraternity of whom eleven were Grand Lodge Officers, seven representatives of Lodges and five visitors. Apparently there were four Lodges represented at this meeting, the total membership of which amounted to less than one hundred Master Masons. "Contrasted with these figures, we have the fact that there are gathered here this morning, the representatives of more than a thousand Lodges, and almost three hundl'ed thousand members of the Fraternity."

How our child has outgrown its Mother Grand Lodge! The Grand Master declined to lay the cornerstone of a church and quoted a predecessor who held "that a church is not a public building as contemplated in the regulations of Freemasons." The Grand Lodge approved his action. In Missouri, a church is a public building and we never decline to lay the cornerstone of one ~ith Masonic ceremonies whenever we are invited. This writer can name about thirty-five churches in all parts of Missouri whose cornerstones he laid with Masonic ceremonies and in no instance could he learn that either the church or Freemasonry was discredited in any sense by our solemn ceremonies. On the other hand, he always took advantage of such occasions to set forth clearly the principles underlying both institutions, showing their harmony and their points of difference, in a way that he believed was helpful to our Fraternity and to the churches he served. We commend our example to the Craft in Illinois. Possibly a closer relationship with the churches might help. to correct the radicalism to which the Grand Master refers in his address. We approve his stand for law and order and quote: "It is the privilege and duty of all American Masons, in the full discharge of their duties as citizens, to resent and repress in every lawful manner any attack upon those fundamentals which we hold sacred and basic as citizens of this country and which have been our g-reat contribution to the science of government during the past one hundred forty years. Masons in common with their patri0tic fellow citizens will never cease a clear and courageous thinking on the vital things of our social order.

"Our government will either endure upon the rock of respect for laws, our courts, and our principles of government. or it will perish in the quicksands of lawlessness and anarchy."

He reports more than fifty thousand dollars raised for the Mississippi flood sufferers. From Bro. Preston Bradley, Grand Orator, we quote, suggesting the substitution of "different" for "antagonistic": "No man is big enough to tell another man what God is. You have to experience what God is in your own soul. That matter gives you certain qualities, certain specifications. It means that you come with a character. It is not the business of Masonry to make Character. It if.; the business of IVlasonry to preserve Character. We are not a reform school.' And no man ever, in my judgment, ought to be admitted to Masonry to make him a better man. Masonry isn't in that business. If you want moral reformation you will find it in a great agency in human society that is in the business of reformation-the Church. The Church says, 'Whosoever will may come'. Masonry says-if you can get by the ballot box. "Consequently, these two institutions are antagonistic to each other, and becam;e of that truth, and because we are selected, we ought tO l keep our work upon a secret basis in order to preserve that selection, that we might be worthy custodians of a great ideal. "Do you know that if you were to open your ranks to the worlrl, Masonry wouldn't survive a hundred years? If you were to throw open the Lodge doors to the public, you wouldn't live ten years, and the ideals you are fighting to preserve would perish. That's what Masonry means to me. I have had only one ambition, for God's sake, for humanity's sake, let's dedicate ourselves at the altar of our Craft, that we may have a renaissance in our hearts of what Masonry is, and that in the presence of all disorder, and all decay, and all dissolution, and all tragedy of temporary life, there shall be one star in the world's horizon that shall never fade, because of our loyalty and devotion to the sacred and fundamental law, which if obeyed, will guarantee peace and prosperity, not only to every man, but to the entire world."

M. W. Bro. Elmer E. Beach gives three pages to a courteous review of the Proceedings of our Grand Lodge路 in 1926. The Mississippi River is not wide enough or deep enough to keep the Freemas'ons of Illinois and Missouri from mingling together on many Masonic occasions. Occasionally, our Grand Lodge is honored with fraternal visits from official Brethren who are separated from US by the Father of Waters. We are always glad to see them.

Appendix.

The Grand Master laid ten cornerstones and dedicated six Masonic temples. In the laying of cornerstones, he fell one behind the record made by Dr. John Pickard, Grand Master of Missouri. He also attended many Lodges and conferred Degrees when invited to do so. He visited the Grand Chapter of the Eastern Star. He visited the Grand Lodge of Illinois and attended the meeting of the Masonic Service Association at Chicago in November and the meeting of the George Washington Masonic National Memorial Association in February. In pursuance of the three months' notice, which he had given, the Grand Lodge withdrew from the Masonic Service Association. February 23, with the Grand Secretary, he attended the Grand Masters' Conference at Washington City. in July he visited the Grand Commandery of Iowa at 'remplar Park. He reported that the Masonic Sanitarium at Bettendorf was completed and in operation. Iowa contributed one thousand dollars to the Florida Hurricane helief Fund and more than ten times that amount for the relief of the sufferers from the Mississippi flood. A Master of a Lodge, who was a banker, disappeared, and was accused of having embezzled about $27,000. He was tried by the Grand Lodge and found guilty by a vote of 913 to 10. Eight hundred and twenty-one voted for his expulsion and 30 against it. The amazing thing in this vote is that 30 members of the Grand Lodge of Iowa should wish to protect the membership of an embezzler. M. W. Bro. Louis Block opens his report of nearly three hundred pages on Fraternal Correspondence with this heading: "FOREWORD "The Noblest Charity of all Helping a Brother to help IIimself."

He makes his case by telling of the noble work being done' by Masonic employment bureaus-Pennsylvania in one year found work for a thousand needy Brethren at an average salary of $1,800 per year. In New York work was found for 5,000 men. Our St. Louis Bureau found employment for 2,155 applicants-Oregon

Appendi.'r.

[Sept.

found work for 2,615 Brethren and California found jobs for over 10,000 applicants in a single year and eighty per cent of the:3e were Masons coming from other states. Bro. Block says: "A distinguished surgeon said to me one day, 'They need not tell me there is no such thing as a 'personal devil'. I I, now thei'e is and his last name is Insomnia'. Now if all that is true, all we have to say is that Mr. P. D. Insomnia has a twin brotller 'and his name is 'Enforced Idleness' (or if there is a pitiable tragedy on earth, it is a human being who is willing to work, want.s work, needs work and ('un'i A'et it."

Unemployment is one of the appalling problems disturbing England 路today. We trust Bro. Block's wise words will bring forth fruit all over our land:He gives nearly six pages to Missouri and quotes freely from the address of Grand Master Martin, from Dr. Holt's speech at the dedication of the St. Louis Masonic Temple and from the ora.tion of Dr. David Janes Evans. He says: "We are glad to see that our old friend, Brot.her John Picl,ard, one of the wisest. and best. beloved Professors of Missouri's State liniversity has been finally elevated to the chair of Grand Master. \Ve have (or many years watched Brother Pickard'S Masonic career and have prophesied great things for him since he delivet'ed one of the best Masonic orations it has ever been our !H'jvilege to hear." Speaking of the actio~ of our Grand Lodge in declining to make saluting the flag a part of our opening ceremony he says: 'There is such a thing as maldng this flag flaunting business a.ll too cheap by making it too common'."

His "Afterword" on "The Menace of Modern Atheism" is well worthy of consideration, but we have not space to quote it in full, but must give a few lines: "We have not lost faith in our YOIlt.h; we cannot feel that tlle t.hing路' is as set'ious, as some would have llS think.

~o many centuries does not interest us so much as do the reasons for its existence. 'Vhat eoncerns us most of all is its future and how long will it continue. \Vhat a vision those patriarchs and philosophers of old must have had when the institution of Freemasonry was born! Founded, as it is, upon a solid rock, protected by landmarks unchanging and unchangeable, Masonry is an in~titution in which men of every country, sect and opinion may meet togethel' in a common cause and walk hand in hand as true Brethren. Masonry has no creed. As an organization it is not concerned in the political, religious, philosophical, social, educational or scientific beliefs of its members. Masonry gives to every man the right to think on these things as his conscience may dictate. It not only gives him the right to think for himself, but tries to impress upon him that it is his duty to do so. It does, however, require a belief in the one God, Supreme Ruler of the Universe, the brotherhood of man and the immortality of the soul. Masonry is not a religion, but it is distinctly relig'ious. It teaches its initiates in the most impressiv~ manner in its power by symbols, ceremonies and lectures, that he owes a duty to God and his fellowman; that his soul is immortal. If these teachings are accepted in the proper spirit, men will thinl, and investigate for themselves, and whe'n men think earnestly, they are led to seek for truth and, by the aid of that Great Light in Masonry come to know their full dut.y to God, their du ties and obligations to their fellowmen in this life, and what pl'epar'ation is necessary for life eter路nal.

"Freemasonry has, during all the centuries, been content to build upon the solid rock foundation laid by our fOl'efathers and continue to impart its noble and sublime principles of Faith, Hope and Charit~路, taught by the theological laddel' which Jacob in his vision saw ascending from eal'th to heaven; the tenets of our profession, brot herly love, relief and tl'uth; the cardinal Virtues, temperance, fortitude, prudence and justice and the erection of that gl'eat temple in which we live, and which, upon its completion, becomes a spiritua'l building in which we shall forever dwel!. By and through the teachings of the institution and its mighty and silent influences Masons always and everywhere have been the foe of tyranny and ,usurpation of power, the defenders of justice, right and truth, find the enemies of intolerance, bigotry, fanaticism and all the other evil influences that oppress and crush humanity. "Our great Order has never, in all its history, cast a shadow upon a home, never wounded a human heart and never wronged a human soul. It is never deaf to the cry of the needy, never blind to the wants of the deserving, and its broad and noble heart pl"omptly reSl)onds to the call of the erring 0\' a cry fOl' help from an~' human soul. It is one of the mighty forces today, working fOl' the upbu ilding' of the race of men. It stands for the brothel'hood of man in its highest and noblest sense, and' for the home around which clusters the tenderest and best sentiments of the liUman heart..

Through all its history it has; pursued the even tenor of its way with charity to all Rnd malice toward nonc. It has left a record of nothing but benefits and . blessings wherever it has touched a life, a community, a state or a nation. "Why then this cry for so-called modernism? Are 'we not. with the glorious history of the past? Is it not enough that we continue to build upon the original foundation so carefully and wisely laid? The safety va.}ve, the bulwark of this g"J'eat institution during all the ages has been that we have adhered strictly to the beaten path and turned neither to the right nor left; always of one mind and one purpose whatever mig-ht be I)ur belief or creed; always adhering strictly to the Landmarks, usages' and customs of the Fraternity upon which all men ,of every country. sect and opinion agree. The fall of nations, religious, political parties and organizations can be summed up in three words 'differences in Opinion'. The breakers are just ahead. The trend of Masonry is toward these things that do not concern Masonry; the turning aside from the orig-inal plan of Masonry, the sponsoring of outside organizations which presume to build upon the Masonic institution; the approval or disapproval of things that do not concern' us as an organization; the tendency to drift into political or religious questions, and numerous other matters upon Which men differ in opinion. These things are incompatible with the pUI:poses of our institution, and are the rocks upon which we will become shipwrecked if we continue to drift with the tide and the general tendency of the present day which seems to be a desire for something different; for a change from the old to so-called modern in every activity of life; in government, religion, education and society. ~atisfied

"It is almost astounding to note in some Jurisdictions the trend away from the original plan of Masonry. Let us, my Brethren, in this Jurisdiction, never stray from the straight and narrow path which leads straight down the annals of time from the org-anization of our beloved institution to a never-ending eternity. If we do this, Masonry will still survive when all other organizations now In existence before which questions' come upon which men differ in opinion, have faded from the memory of men."

Here at least, is food for thought. Cornerstones.

Nine cornerstones were laid by the Fraternity during the year. One church, two Masonic temples, two hospitals, two school buildings; and two court-houses.

The Grand Master reports an edict which he issued against smoking in the Lodge room during a business session or while degrees are being conferred, which the Grand Lodge approved. He n~ade a number of decisions, and numerous dispensations were granted and others were refused. Generally speaking, his administration was approved. One decision was over-ruled, and we think properly.. Two memhers of. an investigating committee itivestigatEd the wrong man and reported adversely. F.ollowing this report the candidate was rejected. The mistake was discovered but the Grand Master ruled that nothing could be done until the time had expired that must elapse before he could again petition for the degrees. The committee on Jurisprudence held, that on the discovery of the mistake the Master should have declared the report and ba)lot void. This report was approved by the Grand Lodge.

tions lead us back to the building of King Solomon's Temple we can see no good reason why we should decline to lay the cornerÂˇ stone of churches with Masonic ceremonies, and we respectfully commend the example of Louisiana to our Brethren in Illinois. The ~~riter has laid with Masonic' ceremonies the cornerstones of four churches in Springfield-his home city and has never heard of any harm resulting therefrom to either the Fraternity or to thâ&#x201A;Ź churches he served. The Grand Master says: "There seems to have been a popular demand throughout the State for .the performance of the Masonic ceremony of the laying of cornerstones. These exercises were attended by impressive ceremoni'es and eloquent addresses. The Fraternity is deeply indebted to Brother R. H. Harper, ,Grand Chaplain, for his services at the laying of cornerstOnes and other ceremonials during the year; for the magnificent orations delivered by him, each of which was, in itself, a masterpiece of eloquence and oratory and was an erudite exposition of the histOl'~', philosophy and tenets of the Masonic Fraternity."

The Grand Master dedicated six Masonic Temples during the year. Flood Relief.

We quote from the Address: "No event in my life has sO impressed me as has the magnificent response that has been made to the appeals of our committee by the Masons of our great country. More than the relief given, more than the amount of money contributed, more than the magnificent result achieved, is the wonderful sentiment of love, interest and affection displayed by OUI' brother Masons from all parts of this great country-Maine and California, \Vashington and Oregon, Texas and [<'lorida, the remote Brethren as well as those near at home, each of them responding to tile call with an open hand and a generous heart, convinced me that, insofar as our great Fraternity is concerned, there is no North, no South, no East, no West. The message that this brings to me and the lesson that it teaches is that we have in our Fraternity more than four millions of generous hearted,patriotic and upstanding men who have the same generous impulses, the same standards of living, the same ideals, the same hopes, the same aspirations, the same love of humanity, the same devotion to the :~velfare of the nation, the same consecration to the preservation of our institutions and the preservation of our constitution and the maintenance of the laws of our great country."

"But to the hearing ear and the understanding heart there is a voice that is speaking through the worlds. We find this truth realized in all things around us.

"This is also true of the great movements of human history. Here also there are traces of the Divine Companionship.

Our Reviewer appears to have heard something of the presentation of a Bible to each newly-raised candidate. He says: "The idea is doubtless good in itself, but non-sectarianism is the link which binds Jew and Gentile, BUddhist and Mohammedan, the followers of Zoroaster and Confucius in our IJodges. Free-Masonry and the Lord's Prayer form a point of contact for all races and creeds-let us keep it that way. Some Chaplains both in Grand Lodge and Constituent Lodges offend when offering up invocations, but neither their example nor membership makes it necessary or adVisable to deviate from general craft principles."

. We raise no objection to his criticism on some prayers. From what he路 says about the Lord's Prayer, we infer that he has no more' respect than this writer has for the intelligence of the Attorney General of California who ruled that the Lord's Prayer is sectarian. That official evidently did not know that at the World's Fair at Chicago in 1893 in the World's Congress of Religion, all joined in the Lord's Pray~r. But we fear his. Masonry is broader than is ours in Missouri. We have no Buddhists or Zoroastians or Confucianists among us, and the writer is not acquainted with any Mohammedan Masons in Missouri.

In 1898 a Missouri Mason, who r~pudiated the Bible, was ex[Jelled from his Lodge and the Grand Lodge, in sustaining the action of the Lodge by a unanimous Yote, declared the Bible to be a~ necessary a part of the furniture of a Missouri Lodge as the Charter, or the Square and Compasses. We do not accept the Koran or the Vedas as a substitute. The Bible is the only "Book of the Law" we recognize, and the man who objects to it has no place among us. Jews and Gentiles in Missouri are obligated on the Holy Bible and are left free to interpret it as they will. Next Annual Communication at Winnipeg, June 13, 1928.

The address is very brief. As a Semi-annual Communication was held May 10, the address deals only with the work since that date. The Grand Master calle'Cl attention to the subject of non-payment of dues and the Grand Lodge made two orders. One automatically suspends a member two years in arrears,' if he fails to pay after one month's notice. The other is as follows: "Resolved, that all members, and visitors seeking admission to a Lodge shall be required to pI'esent a dues I'f~ceipt card fOl' the current year, except by permission of the \Vorshipful Ma~ter."

1928. ]

Appendix.

Should the Grand Master wish to visit a Lodge and forget his "dues receipt card" we presume the \Vorshipful Master would permit him to enter. Whose business is it to see that the Worshipful Master has his "dues receipt card" with him? In the presence of John Randolph of Roanoke, two men offered to make a bet. A bystander cried out: "I'll hoM the stakes." "Yes," said Randolph, "but who will hold you?" Maryland has a way of continuing a Grand Master in office many years. This explains the long list of Past Senior Grand Wardens. 1871 was the last year that Missouri elected a Grand Master for a secon-d term. Once only has the writer seen a Brother who had been elected Grand Junior Warden defeated for - the office of Grand Senior Warden and that was forty years ago. Corresponde nee. The Report is by Rev. Henry Branch, D. D. He gives two and one-half pages to a fraternal Review of our Proceedings for 1926. He quotes with evident approval a paragraph from Grand Master Martin's Address which Wisconsin's Correspondent condeIIlhed. As we approve it most heartily we reproduce it: "When this monument to Washington, the man and Mason, is completed it will be one of the greatest monuments in the world. It will not only be a titting tribute to \Vashington, the man and Mason, but also an advertisemen,t to the centuries of strength and solidarity of the great American Masonic Fraternity."

He quotes our Grand Master as saying of our Masonic Home that it is "the greatest single reason for our existence." He speaks of the dedication of the four million dollar Masonic Temple in St. Louis, "which has a front of 150 feet on Lindell Boulevard by a depth of 300 feet and rises to an approximate height of 175 feet." Thli Governor of Missouri and Admiral R. E. Countz of the U. S. Navy attended the exercises, the Governor giving one of the ad-dres~es.

quotes briefly from two great orations given to the Grand Lodge, one by Dr. Stratton D. Brooks. President -of the University of Missouri, and the other by Dr. David Jones Evans, Pastor of a great Baptist 'Church in Kansas City.

The Grand Master laid seven cornerstones and dedicated eleven Masonic Temples. He warned against the use of Masonic emblems by the "True Kindred", condemned the use of printed ballots, or ballots written out beforehand, in Lodge elections and warned against the use of Masonry for political ends. For Mississipp,i flood relief, he ordered $1,000 sent to Grand Secretary ~avilla of Louisiana. In closing his address, he says: "Masonry must stand by those established institutions which have made for the 'Christian civilization Which we enjoy; it must stand by OUI" National traditions and fortify law and ol"del". There is a growing disrespect for much that is !';ound and right in our society. There is a la.ck of reverence among old and young and a tâ&#x201A;Źndency to shift responsibility. Masonry, more than any other 01'g'anization on earth, is founded on the principles of right as 'against wrong. \Ve cannot take our Masonic vows without a consciousness that if we live up to those vows we are making a contribution to our society. We' should not take our Masonic vows before the altar without taking them into our daily lives. Our civilization is merely an expression of our thoughts. our ideals and our aims. 1'\0 matter how high and noble these may be, they avail us nothing' unless we strive to attain them. 'Knowledge means little unless we avail ourselves of it. Masonry is an education of the individual. It is a training ground where we may become better men, better citizens. Let us look well to our O."del'. It is one of the most priceless possessions of our society."

Rev. William H. Gallagher had served the Grand Lodge as Grand Chaplain for twenty years. The Grand Lodge showed its appreciation of his services in ordering, by a unanimous vote, an appropriation of $300 "for the purpose of paying the expenses of the Grand Chaplain and-his good wife to Boston, Mass., next Sept em bel' and the fee for the said thirty-third Degree". The aforesaid Grand Chaplain, thus honored, is Correspondent He says: "The Review of Michigan is incomplete. A t01'11 and tatlen:(l copy of the Proceedings reached St. Louis.

Rt. Rev. Frank A. McElwain, Gran'Cl Orator, delivered an address from which we quote some things he said, touching the attitude of Free-masonry toward the duties of citizenship: "In this presence I do not need to recall the places of honor which Masons have held in the history and work of our country from the days of George Washington to the present time. WheneVE:r problems were to be solved, whenever sacrificial service for the state were to be performed, there were Masons found ready to give to ,the uttermost for the land of their love. "\Ve call the days in which we are living an 'age of transition', This may be a commonplace and a platitude. But never in the memory of any of us .here have such tremendous changes taken place in both the material and intellectual life of the world. It is 'doubly difficul t under such circumstances, to be certain of one's standing ground or the direction of one's path in life. The duties of a citizen form no exception. "Within the last few yeal'S in several of the countries bordering on the Mediterranean Sea changes have taken' place Which fill one with apprehension. In Italy and Spain especially, all semblance of constitutional representative government has disappeared and in its place there has been established personal dictatorship. But w~y speak of this to American Masons? Surely it is a far cry from Rome to St. Paul. Surely the Anglo-Saxon temperament will not yield. That is what one is apt to think at first. But when we hear men, prominent in the business and industrial life of America, return to us praising Mussolini because of his mechanical efficiency; when we realize that such a dictatorship could only become a fact after a supine failure on the part of citizens to live up to their responsibilities, then we realize that it is not a matter of racial temperament or of local environment, but of loyalty to ideals and a willingness to sacrifice rather than to allow those ideals to perish. "We, who. have taken our solemn obligations, remember that these obligations, like those of our ci tizenship, are based upon the fundamental. principle of liberty under, law. Every struggle that has marked our growth as a nation,. every appeal which we have made to the world beyond our borders, has had liberty as its goal or subject. Now, doubtless, if one is seeking efficiency in government and nothing more, a benevolent, absolute monarchy would be the ideal government. But surely the Masonic fraternity would never be guilty of trading liberty for material efficiency. Not because Mussolini's hands are stained with the blood of our Brothers in Italy (although that would bc sufficient to condemn his purpose in our eyes), but because he is guilty of murdering liberty in the name of national prosperity, do we reject his methods.

Appendix.

"But remember what leads up to this and the like dictatorship. A selfish forgetting of the duties and the ideals of citizenship on the part of the !'ank' and file of the nation. We may not listen to the siren voice of material prosperity, but we are so apt to grow careless. Every successive national election of these last years has been marked by the outstanding fact that \fUlly one-half of our electorate has failed to go to the polls. When one has made every allowance for absentees and illness, etc., there still路 stares us in the face the unpleasan t truth that a tremendously large proportion of our fellow citizens fail to do the simplest duty. Beyond that there is the unwillingness to serve the, community or state on the part of the abler section of our people and the consequent handing uver of much of our country's business to the mediocre or worse. People who d'o not care even that much for their country pretty nearly deserve slavery to a grinding tyr.anny. "I am no pessimist. I am' confident that the United States will ultimately awake to the da.nger that lies ahead. We must not trust to ideals, or talk, or Anglo-Saxon heritage. We must be willing to pay the price of unfaltering devotion and constant watchfulness. In the relation of this wondrous inheritance, I crave the foremost place for the Masonic Brotherhood. Let us see to it that as long as we live and work in this our beloved country, we give her the full measure of our devotion so that she may never falter in the fulfillment of her glorious mission to mankind."

Correspondence. Past Grand Master Edmund A. Montgomery, gives a long and able Report on Correspondence. Of his 183 pages, eight and one half are given to a very kind review of the Proceedings of Missouri for 1926 and 1927. He quotes from the address of Grand Master . Martin, and naming the three Grand Orators who were heard in 1926, says: "Missouri Masons were rarely favored in the privilege of listening to these wonderful addresses."

He says: "Grand Master Pickard gave a very fine address. In order that he might give himself without reserve to the duties of Grand Master, he took a long vacation from his work in the State University. He was instant; in season and out of season, in fruitful labors for the Fraternity, laid more cornerstones, visited more Lodges and attended more Masonic functions of various kinds than any of his predecessors."

With evident approval he quotes his ruling: "That it was not permissible for any card or pool games to be, played on Sunday in a Masonic club room as conduct tending to

Much of the Grand Master's address is given to the Flood of 1927. \Ve quote from the Address: "On April 21, 1927. at 7 o'cloc], in the morning, the levee at Stapp's Landing in vVashington County, Mississippi, g'ave way, precipitating the greatest flood in the history of our country and decidedly the greatest disastel' that has ever befallen our beloved State. Within less than forty-eight hours, more than 861,000 acres of the richest farming land in Mississippi wel'e inundated from ten to twenty feet deep. The City of Greenville, Leland, Hollanddale, Rolling Fork and numerous other towns were in the wal,e of this flc,od, which carried death before its ol1l'aging torrent. Hundred~ of lives were lost and thousands of livestock, to say nothing of the millions of dollars worth of property destroyed."

The Senior Past Grand Master, Henry Clay Yawn, gives nearly two pages to a review of our Proceedings for 1927. Of our Grand Master he says:. "Brother Pickard's picture adorns one of the initial pages of the Pl'oceedings, and is followed by a biographical sketch, which stamps him not only as a great scholar, but also as a distinguished author. His Masonic: career has been equally noted, he having filled practically all of the Grand Offices in both the York and Scottish Rite Bodies."

Dr. Pickard has served as Grand Master of the Grand Lodge, Grand High Priest and Grand Master of the Grand Council and is Grand Chamberlain in the Imperial Council of the Red Cross of Constantine. Our reviewer calls attention to the fact that the Masonic Bodies of Missouri sent more than thirty thousand dollars for the relief of flood sufferers. He tells us that: I

We quote two items: "Moral excellence must be one of our watchwords at all times. Every Mason should feel and act as if the reputation of our Order rested upon his shoulders. Sages of old contended that no sin was ever committed, the consequences of which fell on the head of the sinner alone, and rio man could do ill and his fellows not suffer."

He says: "The question has often been asked, Who is the most important person in a Masonic Lodge? My answer is, the Brother on the Investigating Committee. If he will always do his duty, the future ot our Fraternity is secure."

He tells us' of the sending of a thousand pounds of cement from Trident, Montana, for use in the Masonic Peace Memorial Temple, now being erected in London by the Mother Grand Lodge. The cement reached its destination in time to be used at the laying of the cornerstone July 14, 1927. Visitations.

moral codes and: most of the conventions that the past has left to us ha~e resulted from the needs of mankind. They are protecting walls thrown up to keep away the gross and vulgar and the unclean. Decency in literature and art and in manners has given way to excesses and extremes of, all kinds. Behaviorism in philosophy claims the right of self-expression under all conditions and circumstances. It ignores codes and conventions. It ignores other's comfort and convenience, and right. It is utterly selfish in its attitude towards life. Restraint and reserve are cast to the winds. Realism in art and literature grossly pictures the vulgar and the ugly ,on the plea of the right to full expression. They forget that true mastery in art and literature, as in every other walk of life demands suppression, as well as expression. Restraint is the key to mastery in . everything human. Law is restraint. There can be no true liberty without wholesome re,straint. True liberty does not involve the right of doing and saying anything we wish. True liberty says of the gross and common, 'I can do this or that thing, I can make a beast of myself, but I will not!' This is liberty. That is'true freedom. The keystone of character is found in that 'phrase, 'I can do, but I will not.' "Iluman ~rogress and civilization have built upon restraints rather than upon license. Take away the restraints of life, the conventions and the codes and even the 'Thou shalt nots', and deterioration will result. "My Brethren of the Grand Lodge of Montana, our speculative and symbolic Masonry-set to build character, to preserve morals and right living, to foster reliance upon a higher power that we call God-our speculative and symbolic Order fails if it ceases to build on the foundations upon which our civilization has been reared."

Correspondence.

Past Grand Master H. S. Hepner, gives Missouri kind treatment in the three and one-half pages he devotes to our Proceedings for 1926. He quotes with warm approval what Grand Master Martin said: "The right of an institution to live is not measured by numbers, but by the good it does."

He refers to the dedication of the St. Louis Masonic Temple, commends our Grand Orators, and quotes the poem with Which Dr. Ivan Lee Holt closed his Dedicatory Address, 'The Land of , Beginning Again."

He attended the eighth meeting of the Masonic Service Association and recommended that Nebraska remain outside the Association, which recommendation was approved. He attended the Seventeenth Annual Convention of the George \Vashington Masonic National Memorial Association, approves this great enterprise and "urgently requests the co-ope;-ation of the officers of the s.ubordinate Lodges in bringing up the present Nebraska percentage of quota from 20.1 per cent, where it now is, to 100 per cent". He reports ten decisions. One that "the loss of a right thumb, the loss of one leg, the loss of one arm, the loss of both one arm und one leg, the loss of a foot, and the stiffening of one leg so that the knee was rigid at the joint" rendered a candidate ineligible,

"-3,8 approved. He ruled against the appropriation of Lodge funds for De Molay Chapters, but held that "individual members of the Fraternity may properly sponsor and contribute to the support of such a Chapter of the Order of De Molay". Have not "the individual members of the Fraternity" a right to spend their money for any good cause without asking permission from the Grand Master?

He recommended that the Grand Lodge decline to become a member of the National Masonic Tuberculosis Sanitoria Association and the Grand Lodge approved his recommendations. Nebraska gave $3,016.50 for Florida relief and $G,323.85 for the Mississippi flood sufferers. Bro. C. Petrus Peterson, Grand Orator, delivered an oration on "The Spirit of Adventure", which we would like to reproduce in full had we the space. He tells of "a great and learned physician who announced that he had carefully: dissected and analyzed every part of man, but had not found a soul". That physician was as great a fool as the astronomer who told Napoleon that he had searched the heavens carefully with the telescope, but could not find God. Vie are reminded of the visitin~ preacher, who, in his sermon, spoke of drawing an inference. The pastor asked a hearer if he could draw an inference. The answer was: "I can if anyone around here can, for I have the best yoke of cattle in the settlement."

You cannot hitch a log chain to an inference. We quote as follows: "It was my privilege not long :since to make an in teresting contact with a grou!) of these young people. This gTOUp of students from the Uni"en;ity of Nebraska had organized what they called a ~unday Evening Club with a purpose of affording an opportunity for disCUl>sion on subjects of eurrent interest. Among othel' topics they l'!ected to discu!'<s evolution and they secured one of the very learned f;cholars of the State University to pl'esent by lecture and by stereopt icon slides the story of the evolution of man and the evidence supporting the hypothesis of his descent from lower orders of animal 1ifc. The young' people found ,;ome difficulty in finding a spokesman to pl'el>Cnt another side and at length, for lack of an~路thing better . requested that T ])re!'<cnt such eriticism of the theory of evolution as I might find available. In ::l!)!)l'oaching' my subjlOct I stated a desire to find the attitude of those who were in m~' audience and asked tl~em to answer fOUl' questions. l<'il'st-'How many of you believe in Evolution?' And every hand went up, full arm's length, withont

[Sept.

hesitation. I said my second question is: 'How many of you believe that you have descended from a lower order of animals? And every hand went up-some full arm's length, some half way and some with hesitation, but all hands were up. I said 'You seem to constitute rather a one-sided audience, but I have two more questions: 'How many of you believe that you have a soul?' All hands went up full arm's length save one. I asked him if he did not believe he had a soul'and his answer was 'I don't know.' "I said, now for the fourth question. 'How many of you believe that the soul you say you believe you have descended from a lower order of animals?' And no hand went up. "All credit to the scientist in l;is laboratory for his past achievements. We wish him well in his further search for truth. May his days be long and his spirit of adventure unrestrained. But we claim for the boys and girls of today and for their children the joys of life's sweetest experiences and the soul's' supreme adventure, a conscious relationship with a Supreme intelligence,"

To many of our half-baked educators, who are trying to find in evolution a release from the grip of conscience, we commend

these words which Dr. T. H. Morgan of Columbia University uttered a. few years ago: "We are tea.ching too much on the s,ubject of Evolution and comparative anatomy. The result has been that the young student loses his faith in God and theology. This tendency is very prevalen t in Western Universities. It is time to call a halt in our emphasis upon the theory of evolution. We must remember that it's sale foundation is comparative anatomy and that the data which forms its basis is questionable."

Bro. Frank L. Haycock, Foreign Correspondent, died April 6, 1927. His incomplete. report fills sixty-five pages in the Proceed, iugs. He gave more than two pages to Missouri. He agrees with Grand Master Martin when he says: "The needs of a National Organization that could function quickl:y in time of war or any goreat National calamity are fully met in the George Washington Masonic National Association."

Concerning W. W. Martin's rulings, he says: "He has the usual number of trivial queries to decide. He decides that it is not a violation of their law to exhibit the square and compass on the radiator of an automobile unless it is used for commercial or other business enterprises. Our English Brethren would not considp.r it good law, and there are many others who would deem it bad taste."

He sent $250 to Florida {or relief. $282 was sent for relief of Mississippi flood sufferers.. Bro. Charles Haseman,Grand Orator, delivered an oration which is printed in full. His subject was, "The Mind, a Working Tool."

We quote as follows: "There are many things of vital significance to man we do not understand today; many things we will never understand while on the earth. We, of this present day civilization have no cleaner ultimate conception of life, of a hereafter, of God Himself, than had the sages of old; and it is probably intended that human beings shall not'understand such matters. It is quite possible that the mind of ml;tn could not grasp their meaning even if revealed to him. No doubt words could not express it all, and naturally what man's words can not expr~ss, his mind can not encompass. "However, this is no reason why we should avoid glvmg thought to these incomprehensibles. If the mind is kept active along such lines, however vain, the hopes of understanding, at least the power of imagination may be strengthened. Farther, with the mind thus occupied, man becomes more capable of feeling the finer virtues that God intends him to experience. He is thereby better enabled to und0.rstand a true philosophy of life and to revere the manifesta- ,

Uons of his Creator a real source of satifaction and benefit to himself."

We have read in an "Ancient Book" this challenge: "Canst thou by searching, find out God '?" Man never discovered God. He is known only as revealed. Out of that "Ancient Book", which i!' one of the Great Lights, has come the only conception of the Divine character worth anything to humanity. On its revelation of the Fatherhood of God we build Our doctrine of the Brotherhood of man. Bro. Frank D. King gives a hundred pages to a review of ,the Proceedings of seventy Grand Lodges. He gives more than a page to quotations from Grand Master Martin's address, speaks o'f the dedication 'Of the St. Louis Masonic Temple, and quotes in full the invocation offered by Rev. Arthur Mather, D. D., Grand Chaplain. We quote his foreword: "The fil"st and pal"amount aim of religion is not to prepare for another world, but to make the best of this one; or, in other words, to make this world better, wiser, and happier. "The temple, made of wood and stone may crumble and decay, But there's a viewless fabric which shall never fade away; Age after age the Masons strive to consummate the Plan, But still the work's unfinished which the immortal Three began; Kone but imortal eyes may view, complete in all its parts, The temple formed of LIVING STONES-the structure made of hearts. "'Neath every form of Govel'nment, in 'every age and clime; Amid the world's convulsions and the ghastly wrecks of timeWhile Empires rise in splendor, and are conquered and o'erthl'own, 'And cities crumble into dust, their very sites unlulOwn-Beneath the sunny smiles of peace, the threatening foam of strife, Freemasonry has stood unmoved, ,vith age renewed her life. "Although our past achievements we wit.h honest pride review, As long' as there's rough Ashlars, there is work for us to do; We still must shape the LIVING STONES with instruments of love, For that eternal mansion in the Paradise above; Toil as vVe've toiled in ages past to carry out the plan'Tis this-the Fatherhoqd of God. the Brotherhood of Man."

NEW HAMPSHIRE.

Grand Master, Bela Kingman. Grand Master, Elected, .J. Melvin .Dresser, Berlin. Grand Secretary, Harry M. Cheney, Concord. Correspondent, Harry M. Cheney. Lodges, 80; 77 Lodges Represented. Members, 15,440. Gain, 165. ONE HUNDRED THIRTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL. Concord, May 18, 1927. Present. 31 Pa~t Officers; 8 Past Grand Masters; 31 D. D. Past Grand Masters; 4 Permanent Members by election; 204 Representatives of Lodges. 36 Grand Lodges were represented, but Missouri was not heard from. The Grand Master's address shows careful superVISIon of the work of the' Craft. He laid one cornerstone and dedicated one Masonic Hall. He sent $500 to Florida and the same amount to the Mississippi flood sufferers. To the latter cause, seventy-four Lodges contributed $1,567'.55. He rejoices in the fact that New Hampshire' leads in contrIbutions for the Washington Memorial, having paid 184 per cent of its pledge. He attended the Grand Masters' Conference at Washington City and favors the action taken by our Grand Lodge, on, the recommendation of M: W. Bro. John Pickard, that we will not confer the E~tered Apprentice Degree by courtesy. He has this to say of his efficient Grand Secretary, who is known and appreciated by many Missouri. Freemasons: "He is loved and appreciated outside this jurisdiction of ours as much, ff not more, than he is here at home. "His whiskers may be furiated above a tie of vivid hue, but his cranium's filled with gray matter, and his heart is truly blue. Now with aerated whiskers and a brilliant old grey head, and that true blue heart a beating, it may be truly said, this symphony of color needs a tie of lively red."

He passes a well deserved criticism upon levity in connection with Masonic ceremonies. He closes with a reference to his visit to the tomb of Washington: "You will remember my speaking to you last year. of the wonderful inspiration which was mine when it became my privilege and

duty to place the wreath upon the sarcophagus of Washington at Mount Vernon. I will never forget the solemnity of that occasion. The thousands of people assembled about the tomb seemed inspired with the same solemn silence. Wast.ington had passed to his reward some one hundred twenty-five years previous. Yet his influence still lived. There never was a time when the world needs men who live their Masonry more than now. Let us prove to the world the sincerity of the business in which we are engaged, and with the help of the Great Architect of the Universe, mayo we continue our work of building character, of building a better manhood, of building a better nation, of building a better world."

After these thoughtful words, we think William Watson's sonnet will make good reading: "I think the immortal servants of mankind, Who from their graves, watch how by slow degrees The world soul greatens with the centuries Mourn most man's barren levity of mind, The ear to no great harmonies inclined. The witless thirst for false wits worthless lees, The laugh mistimed in tragic presences, The eye to all majestic meanings blind. o Prophets, martyrs, Saviors, ye were great, All truth being great to you. Ye deemed man more Than a dull jest; God's ennui to amuse; The world for you held purpose; life ye wore Proudly, as Kings their solemn robes of state; And humbly, as the mightiest monarchs use."

M. W. Bro. Harry M. Cheney gives us his twenty-first report on Correspondence. It makes good reading. He gives Missouri two pages. Of Grand Master Martin, he says: "For him the year has been both a busy and happy one. We read just about two pages of the address when we reach the conclusion that Missouri has had a real Grand Master. As to the Washington Memoria.l he is an enthusiast, just as we are. But he is a large bit more of an optimist than we are as to the time of its dedication. He seems to expect that event will come along in two years. If it arrives in ten it will be perfectly satisfactory to ourself. It is a stupendous undertaking. The money is coming slowly, but it is coming."

He has this to say of Dr. Arthur Mather, who has served us so well as Correspondent, but who has given up that work because of his duties as our new Grand Secretary: "We like the Correspondence immeOnsely. It carries much of information. It also exhibits very much of the personality of its writer. That is a wonderfully attractive combination."

Appendix.

"Conducting a lottery is gambling, and is forbidden by the penal laws of our State, and, of course, is opposed to the laws of Masonry. I, therefore, recommend that charges 'of 'un-Masonic conduct should be preferred against any Master Mason who conducts a lottery in the name of Masonry, o·r for any Masonic purpose, or who sells tickets or chances having any Masonic emblems printed or engraved thereon. If the Grand Lodge concurs in this, I further recommend that it shall be the duty of Worshipful Masters t'o see that printed notices of this action is sent to every member."

The Grand Lodge con·curred. the address:

We give the closing words of

"The enduring fame of the Masonic Fraternity depends lar·gely upon the p.xtent to which its members, as individuals, earnestly strive to faithfully practice in their daily lives those true principles of Brotherly Love, Relief and ·Truth. Not its accumulated wealth, th€ splendor 'of luxuriousness of its entertainments, nor magnitude of members, will save it from the effacement of time, or give it a place in the glorious galleries of history. "Its ~ontribution to the development of thought and culture and those finer, nobler and more enduring. principles based upon the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man-these alone will keep its name luminous with the light of immortality, and justify its place in the affairs of men."

Correspondence. The Report of M. W. Bro. Reed devotes nearly two pages to Missouri. He notes the Dedication of our Masonic Temple at St. Louis and quotes 'Some -wise words from the address of Grand Master MarMn. He refers to the honor paid Bro. McLachlan, our Grand Lecturer on the completion of twenty years of "service involving great personal sacrifice and labor." Concerning our Report on Correspondence he says: "The Report on Foreign Correspondence by the Rev. Arthur Mather, D. D., Grand Chaplain of Missouri, is admirably arranged, betokening an appalling amount of study on his part. A fine feature is ·a group of Masonic statistics, occupying two pages, in which are set forth the salient facts of Grand Jurisdictions in this ·country .and elsewhere." _

This writer is not preparing such statistics. Bro. J. Edward Allen of North Carolina is doing that work so well that we shall .not try to win his crown. But Dr. Mather has lost both his jobs as Grand Chaplain and Correspondent. At Kansas City in 6ctober last, we elected him Grand Secretary of our Grand Lodge. That is a man's job. and he is content to leave the work of 'Correspondent to less skillful hands.

The Addres's is long, but the Grand Master had much to say. His careful supervision of the Craft commanded thJe approval of his Brethren. He spent some weeks abroad in the summer of 1927, visiting Masonic Lodges' in various lands and set a Lodge to work in the City of Damascus. We quote his concluding paragraph: "This Mason or that may fail, but l\Iasonry itself,-how can it fail! Who can believe that after it has served and inspired so many generations of Craftsmen it can wax old or permit its altar fires to wane! Nay, it will triumph always, triumph, if need's be, over the failures and weaknesses of Ma80ns themselves. "The record of its centuries gives every man a just warrant for' trusting it to the fUllest. It asks for nothing but a chance in a man's life to prove itself worthy of any man's time and energy and self-sacrifice. Its lair is within the hearts of men: its roots lie deep in our natures; its truths are the ancient and universal verities that sustain human life in this world. Trust in the Sovereign Great Architect, the assured triumph of the Soul over death, the joys of brotherly associations, the inspirations of the helping hand, the tolerance that lives and lets live; this is Masonry, it is also manhood. God grant that all of us may be spared many years to come to bear witness to this and to help make it prevail in the world."

With an annual income of more than a half a million, the Grand Lodge could afford to spend more than eighteen thousand dollars on this mission which is reported at length hy the Grand Master in his address: The Grand Secretary and two other Brethren accompanied the Grand Master on this fraternal mission.

More than three hundr!3d and fifty thousand dollars of the income of the Grand Lodge was turned over to the Trustees of the Masonic Hall and Asylum Fund. New York Freemasonry knows how to dispense Masonic charity. Correspondence.

Bro. S. Nelson Sawyer gives six pages to a very fraternal review of our Proceedings in 1927. He recognizes the scholarship and ability of Grand Master Pickard and quotes freely from his address. He quotes in full the nine basic standards for recognition reported by Most Worshipful J. S. McIntyre and adopted by our Grand Lodge and quotes from the oration of Judge Merrill E. Otis, Grand Orator. We give one quotation: "American institutions are end'angered by every man who violates any law. It matters not how im!)ortant the law may be, it matters not whether one believes it is wise or unwise. ,VllOever violat€s any law, endangers that law, endangers the fundamentals of our Government, endangers the perpetuIty of America,"

A local daily recently reported that Judge Otis is crowding the jails of Northwest Missouri with bootleggers. Commenting on the Report of Dr. Mather, on Correspondence, he says: "The reviews include quotations of significant statement in Grand Master's addresses and oth€r official report. There is little comment, but what there is rings true, and is always kindly and fraternal."

Appendix.

Reader, a Baptist, and Rev. John F. Caskey, a Methodist. Baptist and Methodist preachers are pretty numerous in Missouri Freemasonry and some other churches are well represented. Several years ago the writer laid the cornerstone of a Baptist Church at Ash Grove, 18 miles from Springneld. In his address he told the audience that a few months earlier, he, accompanied by several other preachers, went to Ash Grove to confer the Third Degree upon their pastor and the pastor of the Disciples Church. He said he was always glad to see a preacher become a Freemason for he knew no intelligent Freemason could be a religious bigot. Last year that Baptist preacher served his Lodge as Worshipful Master and thereby hangs a tale-a Brother, who is a Presbyterian preacher told me he was one of the nine Judicial Commissioners of his Church. One was an elder, and e,ight were ministers. On one occasion when they were together one of their number passed a criticism upon Freemasonry. To his amazement he soon learned that he was the only one of the nine who was not a member of that Fraternity. The writer once heard an Episcopal rector say that 90' per cent of the Clergy of his Church were Freemasons. When as Grand Master in 190'0, this scribe laid the cornerstone of a Methodist Church at Troy, Missouri, he learned from old records, that when the cornerstone of the old Church was laid years before the Civil War, the Grand Chaplain was E. M. Marvin, afterwards a Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and the greatest man Missouri has ever given to the world. NORTH DAKOTA.

He also attended the Grand Master's Conference at Chicago and the meeting of the Washington Memorial Association at Alexandria. He made many Masonic visits in his own Grand Jurisdiction. "A Word of Caution."

We quote from his address, under the above caption, as follows:, "Brethren. I have, in the past year attended many assemblies. public and quasi-public, Masonic and mixed, and it was left to members of our Frater'nity in this state to make the only spectacle of intoxication that I remember seeing at such assemblies all year. Lest we forget: May I remind you that the purchase of liquor is commonly considered as flagrant a crime as the sale-and in most sections the vendor is known by the unsavol'y term of bootlegger. In judicial and in most all right-thinking circles, booze is considered a menace to society. If Masons must get drunk, why not do it at home w,here their families can take care of them and enjoy the fun. I think most of you will agree with me that a drunken spectacle in public or private parties is no longer considered good form. True Masonic fellowship and brotherhood are animated by a higher type of spirit(s)."

May we add a rousing Methodist "Amen!" But we do not agree with his ruling permitting dancing in Masonic halls even though that ruling was appr~ved by the Grand Lodg.e. Missouri has gone on record in declaring that 'a Masonic

Grand Orator Richard E. Wenzel delivered a searching address on "The Crime Problem" which ought to be widely circulated and read. He tells us that the cost of Crime in this country is Sixteen Billion Dollars a year. It is said that 98 out of every 100 Criminals escape justice. Governor Hadley of Missouri, who died recently, was a Freemason. Of him Bro. Wenzel says: "Ex-Governor Hadley of Missouri and Arthur V. Lashley, prominent in the St. Louis Bar, tell us that the Missouri Crime Survey disclosed the following disposition of 13,444 cases-one year's record of murder, manslaughter, burglary, robbery, larceny, embezzlement, fraud, forgery and auto theft-to-wit: 664 cases held for trial, 530 actually tried, 420 convicted and sentenced, and 374 actually serving time, a record of 2.7%."

The wisdom Governor Hadley may have learned from these facts was a little belated. A few weeks ago we passed by a house that recalled a tragedy. An elderly couple living there were shot down in cold blood by a young man provoked by the damage done by a cow that broke through a fence. The murderer was duly sentenced td be hung but Governor Hadley commuted the sentence, and Governor Gardner, another Freemason, paroled the criminal and he is now at large. It appears that North Dakota does not punish murder capitally.

Our Orator suggests: "First, that capital punishment be restored. "Second, that the power to pardon or pa.role be thoroughly circumscribed, etc. "Third, that we recognize the necessity and seek to provide for state-wide co-ordination of the agencies for detecting and supressing crime and criminals, in order to catch up with the 98 out of every 100 who are now said to escape."

On every Masonic Altar in our land lies a copy of the Book of the Law which we are taught to receive as the rule and guide of our faith, and practice. It gives the Divine warrant for Capital Punishment for murder. Speaking to Noah, God proclaimed the sacredness of human life. "Who so sheddeth man's blood by man

shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God made he man." This is no part of that Hebrew Code which expired by limitation when the Hebrew people ceased to be a nation, but was given to all humanity to safe-guard human life. Because we as a people are getting too weak to enforce the Divine Decree we have 12,0'00 or more homicides a year in this Country. Corresponde nee. Bro. George H. Phelps gives Missouri courteous treatment. He ventures one well-founded criticism: . "We wonder if they really did what this says they did, 'R. W. and Rev. Dr. Arthur Mather, Chairman, presented his report on Fraternal Correspondence, which was adopted and ordered printed in the Proceedings'. Our Grand Lodge does not adopt anything the Fraternal Correspondent says. On the contrary, the by-laws creating this job expressly limit this report so it is nothing but the personal opinion of the Correspondent, for which he alone is responsible."

We agree with our reviewer and do not ask that the Grand Lodge of Missouri shall be held responsible for this Scribe's work. He tells us that Dr. Mather made a most favorable impression when he visited the Grand Lodge of North Dakota. That is what we expect of him.

Opening.

A part of the opening ceremony was a sermon by the Grand Chaplain, Rev. -Brice D. Knoth, to which four closely printed pages were given. We quote a few lines: "The first and supreme teaching of Masonry is a realization of God in our midst. All ages of moral and spiritual progress have been marked by a sense of God. The .Jewish people. having no brilliancy of aims, philosophy or art, a little nation in a tiny land, was raised to a dignity and influence unique among. the nations, by their consciousness of God. At the heart and center of Israel's worship and witness was the thought of the Temple on the hill, with its silent chamber, lighted only as on the golden cherubim and blood besprinkled mercy seat fell the radiance of the Shekinah of God, and when the .Jew realized in his history the unfolding of a divine purpose and felt in it the heart beat of an everlasting love, he arose to a new stature and had a message to the whole world. But the glory faded from Judah's hills and to a later generation, busied with tradition and detail, God seemed afar off and a new beginning was necessary, that man might once more realize his imminence,"

Speaking of our "Duty to our Neighbor," he says: "Masonry is not a religion, it is a system of ethics. It does not seek to usurp tlie place of the churCh. It aims rather to aid and support all the ethical teachings of the church. A man should n'ot be less, but more religious by his association with the Institution. It instills and enforces the sacred duties of Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth. It inculcates all mutual duties and obligations of man to man in all the relations of life,"

Grand Master's Address.

In answer to a' question, "Is it permissible to use a Lodge Room for card playing and dancing?" he says: "The Constitution, on that question, is silent. I am of the opinion that a Lodge room, having been dedicated to Freemasonry. should not be rented for the purpose of card playing or dancing,"

We commend this ruling to the thoughtful consideration of our brethren in a few Grand Jurisdictions in this country. His ruling was approved by the Grand Lodge. We presume the Constitution is equally silent concerning forgery and counterfeiting and yet no Grand Master would approve the use of a Lodge room for such purposes. Lesser Lights.

Yes, provided he can, by the aid of artificial appliances conform to the necessary ceremonies. Said appliance must be submitted to the District Deputy Grand Master for his inspection. Upon a favorable report from the District Deputy, I hold he was eligible,"

The Grand Master reported that forty-six Temples and Lodge rooms had been dedicated during the year and twenty-two corner路 st.ones had been laid. Seven of these cornerstones were of churches. We think Ohio can join Missouri in assuring the Craft in Illinois that it is entirely safe for a Grand Lodge to lay the cornerstone of a 'Church. The address fills 60 pages and shows careful oversight of the Craft. The Grand Master visited the Grand 'Chapters of the Eastern Star and a number of Lodges._ We q,uote the clos路ing words -of the address. "In conclusion, I would be decidedly rem'iss if I did not attempt to express my sincere appreciation for the privilege of having served you during the past year. I can only wish for the incoming Grand Master that he will be gr.anted the same cheerful support and kind consideration that has been extended to me during the year by the members of this Grand Jurisdiction."

Correspondence. M. W. Bro. O. P. Sperra giyes a Report which fills more than two hunored pages. Four and a half are given to Missouri. He refers at some length to the addre路ss of Grand Master Martin, quotes from Dr. Ivan Lee Holt's address at the dedication of the St. Louis Masonic Temple, and says that the Orations before the Grand Lodge of Stratton D. Brooks, President of the Missouri University, and Dr. David Jones Evans, Pastor of a great Baptist Church in Kansas City, were "both able and interesting." He notes o~r action in declining to make saluting the Flag a part of the opening ceremony of Masonic Lodges. He tells us that the Report on Correspondence of Dr. Arthur Mather "is an able review of the other Grand Jurisdictions whose Proceedings reached him for analysis and report." From his report we copy a. few lines from Pope's Essay on Man with which the Grand Master of the York Grand Lodge of Mexico closed his address in April, 192'7: "Slave to no sect; who takes no private road, But looks through Nature up to Nature's God; Pursues that chail; which links the immense design, Joins heaven and earth, and mortal and Divine; Sees that no being any bliss can know, But touches some above. and some below. Learns from the union of the rising whole, The first, last purpose of the human soul, And knows where faith, law, morals, all began, All end in love to God and love to Man."

The Grand Master sounds a note of warning.

He says:

"There are many corrective agencies at work in the world today. To these we bid 'God Speed!' Other agencies there are, however, that strike at the very roots of society, our religion and our highly prized democracy. One has only to read the daily press and current magazines to know that these activities, unless checked, will sound the death knell to our ciVilization. Decreasin'g respect for the marriage vows is everywhere apparent, proved by even a casual examination of the divorce records. The recent innovation known as pompanionate marriage is directly contrary to our family life. "It is alarming to realize that atheism has actually penetrated our colleges and universities. Many students in these schools have banded themselves together and openly路 expressed their disbelief in that Holy Book that rests upon the altar of every lawful assembly of Free and Accepted Masons. "To counteract these forces, we need, as never before, an awakening conscience, expressing itself through the stabilizing and sobering influences of Masonry, and deeper realization of the tremendous value of the Great Light of Freemasonry which is the foundation of civilization."

The Grand Master and Grand Secretary were welcome visitors at our Grand Lodge in October, 1927. Come again! Many of you were made Master Masons in Missouri. Corne rstones. The Grand Master laid twenty4hree cornerstones during the year and others laid 'eleven for him. 'Ve believe he holds the record. Nine of these cornerstones were for churches, which fact we commend to the careful consideration of such of our Brethren as think a Church is not a public building in the Masonic sense of that term. Oration.

Judge James I. Phelps, Grand Orator delivered a strong address on "Practical Masonry Applied to a Proper Discharge of the Duties We Owe to Our Country and to OUf God." There is much of it we would like to quote, but have not the space.' It ought to bring forth fruit in the lives of all who heard him.

Of this amount $3,000 is given by the Grand Lodge'. He claims that the Oregon Bureau ranks fifth in' the United States in the amount of work accomplished. Oration. Wallace McCamant, Grand Orator, delivered an oratory on the "Historical Background of Masonry" which we would like to quote in full. We quote a few paragraphs: "The Reformation brought home to the thoughtful people of "'-estern Europe, and especially of the British Isles, a sense of personal responsibility which had not been felt before. v\Then men no longer believed in the infallibility of the Church, they were less dis'posed to lean upon the Church and more ready to face their individual responsibility to make others wiser, happier and better. Without such a point of view generally entertained, such an institution ali modern Masonry could not ha ve come into being. "Masonry could not have existed in the ages when the Bible was a closed book. The Bible is the first great light of Masonry. The open Bible stands upon the altar of every Lodge. Our ritual is proof that its authors were familiar with the King .Tames version of the Scriptures. Our. pass-words are all taken from the Bible. The story of the building of King Solomon's Temple as it is found in the Scriptures, is reflected throughout our Masonic work. We may then say with entire assurance that the men who translated the Bible at the behest of King James, and those who brought the King James version of the Bible to the attention of the masses in England and Scotland l)erformed a work useful and essential in the foundation of Masonry."

We must find space for his closing paragraph: "Masonry is stronger in the United States than anywhere else in the world. Soon after the organization of the Grand Lodge of England, Masonry became established in this country. There is an unsettled dispute as to whether the first Lodge was located in Massachusetts or in Pennsylvania. It is certain that Masonry made its appeal to colonial America and that the response was immediate and genc'ral. Morality, comradeship, democracy, charity, usefulness, constructiveness-these Masonic principles were in accord with the spirit and the purpose of the early settlers of our country. Masonry became a vital forcc in American life. It predisposed our forefathers to adopt the principles of the American Revolution. It was not an accident that so many of the great men of our revolutionary p<'riod were Masons."

"Five men have walked this way before me, Wha tever Lodge your Lodge may be: Whoever stands before the door, The sacred arch of Masonry, Stands where the wise, the great, the good, In their own time and place have stood. "You are not Brother just with these, Your friends and neighbors, you, are kin With Masons down the centuries; This room that now you enter i~ Has felt the tread of many feet; For here all Masonry you meet." "You walk the path the great have trod, The great in heart, the great in mind, Who looked through Masonry to God, And looked through God to all mankind, Learned more than word or sign or grip, Learned' man's and God's relationship. "To him who sees, who understands, How mighty Masonry appears! A Brotherhood of many lands, A Fellowship of many years, A Brotherhood so great, so vast; Of all the Craft of all the oast.

The

Gran~

Master has this to say for the Fraternity:

"Composed of the best elements of the population, the 7,000 regular Masons of the Philippines are doing splendid work. Funds for a Masonic :aome, School and Dormitory are accumulating and have already reached a respectable figure, and the Masonic Hospital for Crippled Children is also raising a large building fund and is in the meantime operating a five-bed ward for little cripples in the Mary J. Johnston Memorial Hospital in Tondo. Masonic Lodges have free clinics for children, and other local charities in several places in the Island. Many of the most prominent citizens in our city and provincial life, as well as the leaders in commerce, industry, philanthropy, education and statesmanship are Masons. Thanks to this, the old-time prejudice against the Order is fast disappearing. As evidence of the activity and prosperity of Masonry, we can also cite the Masonic Te~ples and cemeteries in many towns of these Islands and the existence of two widely-read Masonic reviews, 'The Cableton' and 'The Far Eastern Freemason', published monthly in this city; also a number of Lodge papers or bulletins, published every month."

He pays this tribute to one whose memory American Freemasons honor: "One of those who passed On thIS year was our beloved Brother, Major General Leonard Wood, Governor General of the Philippine I~lands. The world lost one of thc outstanding figures of modern times when he passed on, the United States one of her most valiant soldiers, patriots, and citizens, the Philippines a wise, efficient and conscientious Governor, and the Craft a Brother who possessed to a high degree all the qualities that make a man a real Mason."

He reports contributions from his Grand Jurisdictions amounting to .$2,236.65, and add-s this comment: "I may state here that the generosity with which our Brethren have always responded to appeals for charity and beneficence, will be one of the brig-htest and most inspiring recollections of my term as Grand Master of Masons of the Philippine Islands."

Visitations.

He visited Lodges from the northern most city Aparri, to the southern most, Jolo, and regretted that he could not reach all Lo'dges. Yet he reports 85 visitations and 14 other visits were made in his name. Oration.

The Grand Orator was Teodoro M. Kalaw, New Grand Master. From it we quote as recital of facts familiar to American Free-路 masons: "The owner of that famous tavern which occupies a characteristic place in the history of American liberty was a Freemason, and Freemasons were members of the organization Which met in that tavern at night to prepare for victory. One o{ their first Presidents and leaders was Joseph "\-Varren, Past Grand Maste-r of the Grand Lodge' of Massachusetts, and the great Paul Revere, another Mason and Past Grand Master, found in that organizatIOn the determined men who accompanied him to Boston Harbor. One night the Lodge was closed. Its members, disguised as Indians, went to Boston Harbor, took the cargoes of tea out of the English ships and threw them into the sea. This was the beginning of the war. And who were the chief actors in that drama which looms so bfg in the history of liberty? Who were the outstanding figures, not only in that revolutionary period, but also during the period of the formation and constitutional development of the country. The first signer of the Declaration 'of Independence in 1776 was John Hancock of St. Andrews Lodge, who subsequently became Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts. The loftiest, the noblest, the most beloved figure from every point of view was George Washington, a Virginia Mason. The most prudent and experienced' intellectual and moral leader iuthose critical days was Benjamin Franklin, a Pennsylvania Mason. The most skillful statesman in the fie~d of finance, famous for his constructive genius, was Alexander Hamilton, also a Mason from Pennsylvania. And the greatest interpreter of the Constitution, whose luminous decisions have contributed the most to the unity and stability of the great republic was John Marshall, another ViI'ginia Mason." "Now, dear Brethren, let us leave the United States and see what happened in the Philippines a century later. Rizal, Del ~ilar, Lopez

Jaena and others founded in Europe a Masonic organization in order to maintain unity among the Filipinos, and thus united, call the attention of the world to the oppression of which their country was a victim, and demand urgent reforms. In order to maintain closer and secret relations with the patriots in the Philippines, the local Masonry was organized, subject to that of Madrid. The idea was that Freemasonry must be the brain to direct the Filipinos and think for them. There being no liberty to assemble and speak freely, the Lod'ges served as a place of assembly and a tribune. Soon they became the gathering places of the most progressive Filipinos, who, being members of the heroic middle class, fostered the movement at the risk of their lives and property."

••

"When a general of the American army wrote to a prominent Filipino, asking where Mabini got his ideas, seeing he had never heen out of the Islands, the Filipino replied in a document which is still preserved at Washington. . 'General Mabini got them from Freemasonry and nowhere else.'''

Looking over the record given in the Proceedings of a Special Communication held for a cornerstone laying, we find that the Grand Lodge was opened with 15 Gra.nd Officers and '20 other members of the Grand Lodge present, after which 36 Master Masons were admitted. In Missouri all Master Masons are permitted to attend the opening ceremony of the Grand Lodge on any occasion. Grand Master's Address.

The Grand Master's Address covers 13 pages, and indicates a careful supervision of the affairs of the Craft. He was not called upon to make any decisions, laid a cornerstone of a Masonic Temple at Montague on Labor Day and was called upon to conduct 'the funeral services of several Brethren. He congratulates the Craft that as Canada was celebrating her "Diamond Jubilee" the Freemasons of Prince Edwa.rd Island rejoiced in the fact that two members of Victoria Lodge, Brothers Pope and Haviland, were among the "Fathers of Confederation" sixty years ago. While the Grand Master does not give a list of official visitations, the Committee on his Address says in their Report: "We commend the zeal of the Grand Master in the extensive round of official visits he has made, and join with him in rejoicing that peace and harmony everywhere abound."

[Sept.

"A beautiful superstructure is a -menace to life and a waste of wealth if its foundation is not secure, but being secure it is both useful and attractive. So with Masonry, if we build upon its foundations there will be no need to apologize for the Order, and it will take the highest possible place of influence among men and in the nation. To do this Masonry occupies a most unique position. It Is quite outside of all confusion and strife of creed, or sect or parties. It is not allied in any respect to a man made organization of any kind. It formulates no creed, no doctrines, neither does ittake sides against any creed or doctrine or sect or party. They don't enter into its consideration in the least, they are not even mentioned, but it does bring together men who believe in God and enables them to concentrate on the practice of every 'moral and social Virtue' to which no one, with the welfare of mankind at heart could possibly take exception. If we are to learn the lessons of the past and realize that great nations and peoples endowed with wonderful gifts and power failed because they were wanting in those things that make for continuance 'social and moral virtue.' Should we not be wise in our generation and concentrate on these essentials? This is exactly what Masonry is doing by binding men of all shades of thought and' learning in ties of the strongest brotherly Love and unitedly puts them to work to carry out 'every moral and social virtue'."

report of the laying of the cornerstone of the new Masonic Temple in Providence on Sunday, April 24, 1927: "After the ceremony the procession was reformed and attended Divine Service at several of the downtown .churches: The First Division attending the First Baptist Church, the Second Division attending Grace Church, the Third Division attending the First Universalist Church, the Fourth Division attending the Mathewson Street Church, the Fifth Division attending the Beneficent Congregational Church and the Sixth Division attending All Saints Memorial Church."

路Sec. 20 of the By-Laws of the Grand Lodge of Missouri reads: "Sunday. A Lodge meeting shall not be held on the first day of the week, commonly called Sunday, except to perform funeral services."

We do not lay cornerstones on Sunday. Our ceremonies and traditions take us back to the building of King Solomon's Temple. We teach that our ancient Brethren worked six days in a week and rested on the seventh day. The seventh, therefore, our ancient Brethren consecrated as a day of rest from their labors, thereby enjoying frequent opportunities to contemplate the glorious works of creation, and to adore their great Creator. We are not here raIsmg any questions about the proper observance of Sunday, but so long as we continue to teach candidates the great lessons drawn from Jewish life and require Lodges to observe one day in seven as a day of rest, it seems to us that it is inconsistent for a Grand Lodge to labor in laying a Cornerstone on a day when a subordinate Lo'llge is required to refrain from labor on that day.

He ruled: "Where any number of Brethren feel that the holding of any form of entertainment would be inconsistent with the purpose for which the Lodge room was dedicated, such meeting cannot be held."

The Committee on Jurisprudence reported on this ruling and the report was approved by the Grand Lodge: "Your Committee feels that this is a matter which should be left to the good sense of the members of the Lodge."

We fail to find in the Proceedings any record of a motion providing that the question of solemnly dedicating Lodge Halls "In the Name of the Supreme and Eternal God, the Grand Archi路 teet of Heaven and Earth," be left to the good sense of the memo bel'S of the Lodge. The question might arise, how much g'ood sense have members who want to play cards and dance in 3 Masonic Lodge room? Why don't they go to their' churches for such amusements?

Grand Chaplain's Address.

From the address of Rev. Bert Howard, Grand Chaplain, we quote: "Masonry in her signs and symbols teaches us that behind the life of ma路n in the great pageantry of Nature there is a supreme will and mind. That ruling all is a Righteous Will, the Intelligence of the Most High. It teaches that man is not a clod of articulate clay, placed here by chance, but that he is a Son of the Most High, a Citizen of eternity, and that God has laid upon man the obligation of living befitting this great 'dignity'. Masonry, because it believes this, teaches that man must be free-free in body and soul and mind. From time immemorial Masonry has dared to teach this. It has dared to assert the Divine right of man to life, to liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and because of this our Brethren in Italy have visited their Gethsemane and are splendidly treading the path of Golgotha. "And some day when the clouds of prejudice and misrepresentation have been dispelled by the searchligh t of truth, the world will honor Masonry for its heroic service to the human race."

The Grand Master reported that he laid two cornerstones, but says: "I have been forced to refuse to lay the cornerstones of various other structures upon the ground that they were too near completion."

There is a difference between a cornerstone and a Cope Stone. Masonry and Masked Mobs.

A telegram from the Charleston News and Courier called forth this answer from the Grand Master: "At one time here masks were used by brave men as an expedient weapon to avoid terrible bloodshed and to save the finest civilization on earth. The emergency was temporary and has passed long since and such acts tend to undermine and destroy all the sacred things for which our forefathers struggled. Masonry in all its teachings and principles stands for obedience to law and especially condemns the lawlessness of the angry mob led by evil men attaining its ends in cowardly disguise."

A few months ago therâ&#x201A;Ź was a lynching in Missouri that was an unusual proceeding. A negro who was popular with his own race, was st,abbed by another negro at a card game. As the officers were taking the murderer to jail a mob composed of negroes took him away from them and lynched him. Educational Director.

Correspondence.

Dr. Arthur Tufts in his report of nearly two hundred pages gives three pages to affairs in Missouri. He tells us: "A picture of the fine face of Grand Master William W. Martin adorns the first page. Druggist, bank president, active church worker and Mason."

That reminds us that several years ago we changed the time of the meeting of our Grand Lodge, so that Brother Martin and other zealous Baptists could attend the Grand Lodge and the Baptist State Association. Our reviewer tells us that on August 31, 192'6, George Washington Lodge No.9, of' St. Louis, chartered a bus and drove 208 miles to visit the Grand Master in his home Lodge. "It was a great and beautiful surprise. They left with him a beautiful piece of silver as a remembrance."

He speaks of the fine dedicatory address of Dr. Ivan Lee Holt, and of the two fine orations of Bro. Stratton D. Brooks, President of the University of Missouri, and Rev. David Jones Evans, D. D., of Kansas City. He says: "The Masonic Employment Bureau of St. Louis had placed 1,580 applicants at an average cost of $4.15. Good work."

Missouri's Correspondent. "The Correspondence Report of Brother Arthur Mather is interesting and informative. South Dakota receives careful attention. He closes with observations on the phenomenal growth of the Fraternity, educational work, Temple building, foreign rel~tions and necrology, the G. W. N. M. A., the Masonic Service Association of the U. S., the Masonic Relief Association of the U. S. and Canada, and the Tuberculosis Association. Topics that have come to the front in recent years and are attracting the attention of us all."

This s'cribe will not try to surpass or equal Dr. Mather's work. But he has a right to take pride in Dr. Mather's good work, as he is one of the three Past Grand Masters, and Methodist Preachers. who made Rev. Arthur Mather a Master Mason in a side room of the Church of which he was pastor in 1904. We might add that the church had offered the use of this room for a time to the Lodge whose hall had burned.

Hardwick, Past Grand Master and Grand Secretary, all. of Kentucky, were introduced. The Grand Master reported about 50 visits to Lodges and the Deputy Grand Master visited 46 Lodges. The Masonic Home with property valued at more than half a million dollars ranks fourth lowest in per capita cost among the 23 Homes in the United States. The Grand Lodge appropriated $90,000 for the support of the Home for one year. Rulings.

The Grand Master reported many rulings. In one he "regretted the fact that any Lodge should want to keep a bootlegger within their midst and membership." From one ruling we learn that Tennessee charges a fee of Missouri makes no such charge.

$2.50 for affiliation.

Six or eight years ago a Lodge initiated a candidate who lived within the jurisdiction of another Lodge. In 1926 this entered Apprentice petitioned the home Lodge for advancement to the Second Degree. On its own authority, without consulting the Grand Master, this Lodge decided that the initiation by the other Lodge was illegal, initiated the candidate, and later made him a Fellow Craft, charging him for both Degrees. The Lodge which had first initiated hini claimed him still. The Grand Master required this Lodge to pay over the fee for initiation and strike the name from its records. He also required the Lodge which claimed the Brother to refund the Second initiation fee and reprimanded it for its illegal action in the case, and cautioned it "partiCUlarly to- refrain from such Masonic violations in the future."

his advancement or charges preferred against him, which are sustained, and he is stopped from receiving the other Degrees, should the Lodge refund him any of the $60.00 which accompanied the petition; $10.0iO of the same having been forwarded by the Grand Secretary for Masonic Home Fee?" The Grand Master's decision was: "The contract between the Lodge and a petitioner for the Degrees is subject to the implied condition that his advancement may be delayed or prevented by objection or charges and the fee is paid by him with no provision for the return of any part of it if his advancement be so delayed or prevented."

Bro. Smart's comment is: "It may be in accordance with the Masonic Law of Missouri, but we do not believe it is in accordance with the teachings of the Book of the Law."

This criticism is an easy one to make: yet the law of the Grand Lodge provides' that all the money for the Degrees must accompany the petition. We do not see how under the law the Grand Master could have rendered a different decision. Missouri Freemasonry does not offer the Degrees on the installment plan. Granting that the candidate lost a little money in his adventure, may not Freemasonry have lost more than money in conferring a Degree. upon one who could not be advanced?

There were seven of them: Edward F. Gale, Grand Master, and John A. Davilla, Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge of Louisiana; J. H. Johnson, Grand Master of Mississippi; O. Frank Hart, General Grand Master of the General Grand Council of Royal and Select Masters; Charles Clark Davis, General Grand High Priest, and Charles A. Conover, General Grand Secretary of the General Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons, and our own and only Walter Williams, Past Grand Orator of the Grand Lodge of Missouri. His eloquent words of greetings to our Texas Brethren are w<?rth quoting: "It is the greatest privilege you have given me this morning through the kindly courtesy to this crowd of Brethren of ours who do not believe in race suicide, apparently, from what we hear about South Carolina and Louisiana. We in Missouri have many ties of kinship and affectionate regard to the Brethren in Texas. We are close akin to them through history and frie"ndly relations, and I trust through brotherly kindness, and I hope that these ties of affection and regard will not have been lessened in any degree by my brief presence here with you this morning. "The power and beauty and glory of your ancient ceremonials are significant as tying us onto the past in many interesting and momentous ways, but the beauty and glory of the past are not enough, I think, for the strength and service of Freemasonry in the days that are here and now. Where yesterday it unshackled the spirits of man and unshuttered the spiritual eyes of man, and gave him a freedom and glory and an individual strength. Today we need men who can, in this new present day, emphasize the service that Freemasonry can render to those who have knelt at its altar and those who have come within its influence. And I am happy to note in the suggestions of the work done by the Most Worshipful Grand Master here, that he, in his administration, has laid emphasis upon that which is so important in Free-masonry today. "You know, in a one-time master city of the world there stood a great and golden vase. It stood in the very cen ter of the city; just as this great Temple stands in the very cen ter of Waco, and as evening came in that one-time master city of the world, the dwellers in that city came by that great and golden vase, and took out from that which they had won that day by arduous toil and efforts, a goodly portion-no meanly stinted part-and placed it in that great and golden vase. And when morning came, and ran its roseate

streaks along the eastern sky, the high priest of that ancient city came and took from out of the great and g"olden vase the offerings of the peoole and distributed them unto the city's health and beauty, and to the common good, and the blessings of the Gods were upon that city from the altar even down to the great and gloomy walls, and yet beyond unto the fair路 and fertile fields on which that city stood, as all great cities stand upon the fair and fertile fields without the city gates, and the blessings came and never went until one day the cus tom failed. "Each man toiled as hard a;:; yesterday, most WQrshipful, each man toiled as hard as yesterday, but all that he won he l1eld it unto his heart, and kept it for his very own, and it shriveled in his soul, as he kept it, for his own, and now, on this beautiful December morning, if you go to that one-time master city of the world, you will find the bats rearing their noisome brood in the place. '.rhe altar has fallen, the great and gloomy walls are there no more, and there is not a single soul left in that one-time master city of the world today. " "We have no great and golden vase, and each man unto God is his own high priest, but the lesson and the legend are the same f.or Freemasonry of Texas, for Missouri, for South Carolina, for Louisiana, for America, for Freemasonry everywhere. The lesson is the same, and this is what the high priest read on that great and golden vase on yesterday, 'From each according" to his ability, unto each according to his need!' "From each according to his ability, 'unto each according to his need, and that is why the blessings came and never went until the legend and the lesson and the service were forgotten, and that is why the one-time master city of the world is there no more. "That lesson, Most Worshipful Grand Master and Brethren, is the same to you and to me today. 'From each according to his ability; to each according to his need.' "My appreciation, my grateful thanks, my affectionate regard to you, and to you my Brethren."

We find 34 decisions recorded and 41 cornerstones were laid-most of them by others. Four of these cornerstones were for churches. (Will Illinois please take notice?) Law Suit Threatened.

Some years ago Texas withdrew recognition from the York Grand Lodge. The Grand Master recommended that fraternal relations be restored. The Committee on Foreign Correspondence reported adversely, but the Grand Lodge adopted the recom.mendation of the Grand Master. We congratulate our Texas Brethrell on their manliness in correcting the mistake they made a few years ago. The Masonry of the York Grand Lodge is as worthy of recognition as that of Texas, or Missouri, for it is the same kind. In 1922 the writer set the Commandery of Knights Templar at Tampico, Mexico, at work under its Charter. During his visit he gave a Masonic address and preached on Sunday morning in the Masonic Temple in which services were held regularly by the Episcopal Church. He spent four days at Mexico City, gave a Masonic addres~ to Anhuac Lodge and witnessed the conferring of the Third Degree by Toltec Lodge. By invitation, he gave the lecture, and charge. He once witnessed the conferring of the Third Degree in Dallas, Texas. It was good work, but not as near the work in Missouri as the work of the York Grand Lodge. On his return to this country, through "The Builder", he commended the York Grand Lodge as worthy of recognition by American Grand Lodges. He has never known any good. reason why any of' our Grand Lodges should ever have withdrawn recognition of the York Grand Lodge of Mexico.

Higher Degrees.

In 192'2 the Grand Lodge adopted a resolution prohibiting any Master Mason from receiving any of the "higher degrees" until one year had elapsed from the taking of the Master's Degree. A case in which this reso1ution had been disregarded called out a rebuke from the Grand Master. We believe some other Grand Jurisdictions have a similar regulation. We doubt the wisdom of any such rule. Correspondence.

Sam H. Goodwin, Grand Secretary and Past Grand Master is Correspondent. He devotes four and one half pages to Missouri1927. We quote his opening words: "A picture of the Grand Master, Dr. John Pickard, and a biographical sketch tell us somewhat of the characteristics and outstanding features of this scholarly and distinguished Craftsman. He is a native of New Hampshire-born in Penacock, a typical New England village, with which the present writer was familiar nearly forty years ago. "Early in his address the Grand Master reported that the 'priceless records of the Grand Lodge are contained in a fireproof building'. Missouri, it will be remembered, chartered the first Masonic Lodge in Utah, at Camp Floyd, back in the days when Albert Sidney Johnston-later killed at Shiloh, was in command. At the present time the site of the camp is rna rked by numerous low moundS, each of which indicates the former position of One of the adobe huts occupied by Johnston's troopers as quarters, and these mounds are covered with sage brush."

Some points raised by M. W. Bro. Goodwin on Missouri's report on Foreign Grand Bodies we will pass over the :Chairman of our Special Committee M. W. Bro. Joseph S. McIntyre but we may be permitted to say that Missouri require~ every petitioner to declare in his petition that "he is a firm believer in the one Living and True God." A general statement that he believes in Deity is not sufficient.

Grand Master's Addre~s. In his Address the Grand Master says: "I attended all of the thirteen District meetings held under the direction of the Grand Lecturer. They were largely attended, in most cases taxing to the utmost the capacity of the rooms in which they were held."

He calls attention to the fact that while the population of the State is about what it was in H112, the Masonic membership has increased more than fifty per cent. We quote the conclusion of the Address: "My Brothers, the TRUE Mason is not made AT SIGHT; not in the fullest sense, neither can this great Fraternity which, with the wisdom of the ages assumes to teach man's DUTY to God, his neighbor and himself, dismiss the Neophyte of a few hours or days as a proficient and qualified Freemason. Much patience, study, reflection, experience and desire are necessary if he is to play his part in the work of the world. The Ritual itself is but the shadow of that great and cohesive mass of fundamental truths embraced in Masonry's teachings, and to say that a Mason is proficient and qualified merely because he had mentally mastered the language of the Ritual, is to substitute the shadow for the substance, and the forms and ceremonies for the great and fundamental truths of our Fraternity. The traditions, the truths, the inspirations of the ages, the pl路omises by our Fathers made and kept, the stabilizing an.d uplifting influence of Masonry in the life of this nation from its earliest days, pointing with unerring flnger the true path of freedom and enlight-

enment; the God-given desire to be of service to God and Country must become a part of every true Mason's life. He must know these things if he would be indeed proficient; he must live them if he would be qualified. No wind serves him who has no destined port. The destiny of Masonry today, as I conceive it, is not only to make its votaries nobler and more unselfish, but to so earnestly strive to exemplify these virtues, in their contact with men, as to make tne world a saner and sweeter place in which to live, this dear America of ours the best governed and the kindliest land on earth, and the Stars and Stripes, throughout the years to come, that which it was ever intended to be-the 'Banner of the Free.' 'Toiling centuries have struggled, upward in a stony way; Just to set the torch of freedom where it flames aloft today. Shall the children of the ages, fail them in this mighty trust; Let their beacon pale and dwindle, quench its beauty in the dust? Rather, we shall hold it higher, shake its splendor through the sky, Searching out each nook and corner, 'till the things of darkness die'."

York Grand Lodge of Mexico.

We were glad to note the adoption of the following. "Be it resolved: That the Grand Lodge of. Vermont fraternally recognizes the York Grand Lodge of Mexico as the only legitimate Grand Lodge working in its territory and authorizes the incoming Grand Master to bring about an exchange of Representatives therewith and that such exchange of Representatives be effected upon agreement by the respective Grand Lodges."

We assure our Vermont Brethren that they made no mistake in taking this action. In 192i2 this writer set the Commandery at Tampico to work under its Charter. After spending several days -with the Brethren at Tampico he went to Mexico City where he spent four days and visited the two Lodges working under the York Grand Lodge. They are our kind of Freemasons. He wit路 nessed in one of these Lodges the conferring of the Third Degree, and, by request, gave the Lecture and Charge. Correspondence.

W. C. C. Woods, now Emeritus Foreign Correspondent, and like this writer in his eighties, wrote a word which we gladly quote for all to read."

He gives four pages to Missouri, quotes from the address of Grand Master Mitchell. and discusses at some "length his decisions. We quote: "No. 7 is a statement of vital importance. Some Masons carry their prejudices entirely too far. There is no subject on which men and, of course, Masons, think along so many varying lines as on the details of their religion. All efforts to force, or even to induce men to agree upon the fine points of religion have utterly failed for ages. No creed can be formulated upon which all men can bring themselves to agree, except ours, viz: The Fatherhood of God, and the Brotherhood of Man. The Grand Master was correct in holding as hE- did. Many Masons are not broad enough to agree with him, but they are wrong. We have some Catholics in our Virginia Masonry and, so far as we have ever known, they are good Masons. Just how they reason in order to reconcile the two we do not know, nor have we ever inquired. We agree with the words we once heard from a Past Master, who was a Baptist preacher and have often quoted, that he would greatly prefer to vote for an honest Catholic than for a hickory Baptist. We once heard a Catholic Bishop, a lovable man, say that he. was convinced there was nothing . in Masonry he would not heartily endorse."

In his review of Montana he quotes from the speech of the Inspector General of the Scottish Rite these words: "The Supreme Council of the Southern Jurisdiction, as also the Northern Jurisdiction of' the United States has entrusted to your keeping the teachings of the first three Degrees of Masonry."

This is his comment: "They need a new Inspector who knows some Masonry.

and where did the Scottish Rite ever get the right 'to entrust' the 'first three Degrees' or anything else to anybody? In the first place, they are not simply the first three Degrees, but are the Degrees of Masonry. They. together with the Holy Royal Arch, were declared to be Masonry by the United Grand Lodge of England more than one hundred years ago,"

With sadness we realize that we have before us his last report. . He served well his generation by the will of God, fell asleep and was gathered to his Fathers.

The Address is long - 69 pages, but while full it is no sense trivial. He was a busy Grand Master, and to follow up his activities would require too much space. He gave a month to Alaska, and visited ten of the eleven Lodges in the Territory, dedicated a Masonic Temple and laid the cornerstone of a Presbyterian Church. He traveled more than 20,000 miles in the performance of his duties. An unusual proceeding on his part was a visit to Lincoln, Nebraska, where he grew to manhood, July 26, 192'6, he, assisted

Lee, initiated his youngest son with the help of three sons, a son-in-law and two nephews. The only one, not a relative of the candidate, who had a part in the ceremony, was the writer who officiated as Chaplain. Decisi路ons.

His 15 decisions fill more than eight pages and makes good reading. Washington, like Missouri, requires a ten dollar fee for the Masonic Home to accompany each petition for initiation. In one case, when the candidate failed to present himself for initiation, the Lodge voted to return the fee, but he held, and rightly, as we think, that the ten dollars which had already gone into the Home Fund would not be returned. He held that when a 'Candidate had presented himself for initiation, but after being prepared refused to proceed, the fee should not be returned. Ife also decided: "The use of a key or cipher purporting to be tlle Masonic work of this Jurisdiction is n.ot only improper, but unlawful."

Oration.

The Grand Orator Stephen F. Chadwick, reminded the Grand Lodge of the admission required of every Master of a Lodge at his installation. "You admit that it is not in the power of any man or body of men to make innovations in the body of Masonry." He says: "In general we agree that it is the purpose of mankind to improve those things with which he comes in contact. The history of the human race is one of progress, discovery and invention; one of civilization. Yet in Freemasonry we have that which is singularly successful in its appeal to the human family and yet one that stands alone in permitting no deviation from its established customs."

The explanation is not difficult. Forms and method路s may change, but principles are eternal. Truth does not change. The Forty-seventh Problem of Euclid is the same now that it was in the days of Pytha~ras. They used to cut wheat with a sickle. Now a harvester strikes the standing grain and leaves behind the wheat in sacks, or delivers it to wagons that haul it to the路 elevator. This does not mean any change in the wheat. 'Freemasonry is a progressive science; the candidate progresses in his knowledge of its truths. It is many years since this writer learned the Multiplication Table, but it is the same table his youngest grandchild has learned.

114

Appendix.

[Sept.

Our Orator concludes: "Let no man make innovations in the body of Masonry! The charge is as wise today as it ever was. Masonry needs no new program, no new purpose. It has its program and its purpose as big and as all-embracing as the human heart and conscience."

Correspondence.

The Report by Past Grand Master Edwin H. Van Patten covers 195 pages. Three and one-half are given to Missouri, and half of this space is given to quotations from the address of Governor Baker at the dedication of the Masonic Temple at St. Louis. In closing his review of Missouri, he has this to say of the man who lost his job as Correspondent because we elected him Grand Secretary: "The Review of other Grand Lodge Proceedings is in the hands of Brother Arthur Mather, and he gives a very readable report, in which the Grand Lodge of Washington for 1925 receives its share of quotations .and comment. We wish to thank Brother Mather for his kind words of welcome to the Round Table of the present Correspondent. Kind words do much more than please; they encourage and stimUlate, and stimulation is what we most need."

It is not hard to commend the kind of work Brother Van Patten is doing. WESTERN AUSTRALIA.

takes this as "a happy indication of greater attention paid to the personal qualifications of candidates." He also believes that "a greater regard for Masonic education and research is being manifested." He says: "Both inside and outside of the Empire, the Craft seems prosperous. The membership is greater. The funds have increased. Masonic Homes and other philanthropic institutions mark Freemasonry's sedulous practice of 'the greatest thing in the world'Charity. In every Grand Jurisdiction in the world, Masons are now doing for the Craft what our ancient operative Brethren did for: religion-they are erecting temples of their own and of a character that will add to the architectural beauty of cities and towns, and form a monument to the 'system of morality veiled in allegory and illustrated with symbols' as the operative built churches are monuments of faith and devotion to God. Clandestinism seems to be growing less, but on the other hand, too many quasi-Masonic organizations predicate their membership more or less upon association with Masonry. I fear that indirectly may be traced to some of these, the prevalence in certain quarters to a commercialization of Masonry, against which Grand Lodges protest without having, apparently, detected it source."

A number of Gra~d Lodges in America are making the violating of the E,ighteenth Amendent to the Constitution of the Union (Prohibition) a Masonic offense. American Lodges are conducting a movement toward purging themselves of moral undesirables. In the closing paragraph of his "Foreword" he says: "Mention should not be omitted concerning those two great memorials Masonry is erecting in the Old and New Worlds. The first is the King Edward the Seventh Peace Memorial, designed to commemorate the life and noble efforts of 'Edward the Peacemaker', the father of our present Sovereign, and for so many years the Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of England. This noble testimonial of the Craft, which Will eventually cost more than a million sterling-the greatest part of which has already been subscribed by Masons, is to be the future principal home of the Craft in England, a landmark for every Daughter Grand Jurisdiction in the Empire, an addition to the stately and superb edifices of England, and will occupy the site of the present Freemason's Hall and annexes in the City of London. Curiously enough, the other memorial is being erected to one who, 150 years ago, lead the armies which fought against the Mother Country, in order to obtain peace for daughter lands in America-George Washington, the Father of His Country. Characteristic of the United States, this memorial, which will路 cost upwards of 拢1,100,000 prOVided by American Masonry, has less of the utilitarian and more of the idealistic in it than the British memorial, but the fact that the erecting of these two magnificent structures is proceeding simultaneously, and the ideal of peace

which they represent, should serve to cement the ties of friendship which unites the Empire and Republic, Masonically and generally."

Printed Rituals.

He criticises our condemnation of printed Rituals and says: "In our Empire we usc them, including our Grand Jurisdiction. In Australia we follow the lead of the 'Mother of Grand Lodges' which sees no infraction of the E. A. obligation in doing so."

'In the United States printed Rituals, largely cipher - are permitted under careful restrictions, in Royal Arch Masonry, in the world of Royal and Select Masters and in the Order of Knights Templar. We have our official monitors which give much of the work of all three Degrees of Ancient 'Craft Masanry. But there are important portions of our work including aU the obligations which are transmitted by tradition only and the- writer in more than forty years attendance up.on the Grand Lodge of Missouri has never seen the slightest indication of a desire for a change in this particular. When a Check Is Not Legal Tender.

We think our Revie-wer would not have called Grand Master Martin's ruling on this subject "curious" if he has fully understood it, In all our 'Masonic Lodges, fees and dues are generally paid by check for the sake of convenience. But a check returned by a bank is no more a legal payment than a counterfeit coin would 'be even though the Secretary may have accepted it in good faith. He quotes from Grand Master Martin's address, and notes the laying of eighteen cornerstones, and the dedication ,of five Masonic Halls. He says: "America has many orators and Missouri Masonry its share. Two orations were delivered during the Communication; one being by R. W. Bro. S. D. Brooks, who spoke on the relation of Masonry to mankind, and the other by R. W. Bro. the Rev. D . .T. Evans, who chose for his subject, 'Making Masonry More Masonic.' A subject which reminds this writer of a series of articles which he once published, entitled, 'Are We As Masons Ma.sonic?' Both the orations were, in the words of Sir Andrew Aguecheeck 'excellent good, infaith' and did space permit one, would gladly excerpt many of the more striking passages."

He does venture to give half a page to an extract from Dr. Evan's oration, He said: "The Report on Correspondence is from the pen of Bro. A. Mather, who deals in excellent style with the Proceedings of 71 Sister Jurisdictions. His Review of Western Australia is thoroughly fraternal."

Acting Grand Master Frank W. Van Horn, who had served only one month, read a brief address, and Past Grand Master William K.Cowden read the Annual Address, which he had made up from records and papers which Grand Master Workman left when he died October 17. The opening paragraph and the conclusion were given just as written by him the day before he died. From the opening paragraph we quote a few lines: "What of the future, dim and unknown in the years that lie ahead of us? One thing is certain, no matter what chances and changes the coming years may bring, the Temple of Freemasonry will stand for the reality of the love of God, for the dignity and worth of man, and for the old-time tried tenets which were true ages ago, and will be true in ages yet to come."

In his conclusion he reminds the Grand Lodge that he first attended its sessions forty years before and had never missed an annual Communication. Cornerstone Layings.

Grand Master Workman laid the cornerstone of sjx churches. We commend his example in this particular to our Brethren in

This good example we commend to the careful consideration of our Rhode Island Brethren. Decisions. "A man whose left leg is 'off just below the knee and who wears a cork leg cannot comply with the requirements of our Ritual."

A similar decision was given in the case of a man who had only the thumb and index finger of his right hand. A Brother who was tried in a Subordinate Lodge and acquitted, brought in the Civil Courts an action for damages against his accuser. He obtained, and used in the trial, letters that were used in the Lodge trial and all the charges and specifications used in Lodge trial. The Grand Master held that such use of the records of the Lodge trial was a ,violation of Masonic law. "And directed that said offending Brother be given a trial according to Masonic law." We hope he was convicted and duly punished. Mississippi Flood.

The Grand Master ordered $1,路500 sent for Flood Relief and sent a letter to each subordinate Lodge inviting contributions, in response to which $4,000 more was given. Correspondence.

The Report of 141 pages by Past Grand Master Lewis N. Tavenner, gives Missouri three pages. He quotes approvingly from Grand Master Martin's address, from the address given by Dr. Ivan 'Lee Holt at the dedica.tion of the St. Louis Masonic Temple, and from the orations of Dr. Stratton D. Brooks, President of the University of Missouri, and Dr. David Jones Evans, Pastor of a Kansas City Baptist Church. These two orations were given at an evening session of the Grand Lodge. Of

predecessor he writes:

"The Revie:w of Proceedings of other Grand Lodges is by Rev. Bro. Arthur Mather, D. D., and is real good. His good taste in excerpts from Proceedings indicates the love that must prompt such diligent examination, as well as good judgment looking to the weal of the Fraternity. We thank him for his review of West Virginia and assure him that we shall endeavor to attain his apllroval in the future, when we have had more experience, if so be."

any, members have read it, and it may contain some things which the Grand Lodge will not approve. We tr~st his {)wn Grand Lodge will not approve all he says ill criticising what our Grand Master William W. Martin said about the Washington Memorial: "It will not only be a fitting tribute to the 'Man and Mason', but also an advertisement to the centuries of the strength and solidarity of the great American Masonic Fraternity."

In this quotation the word advertisement is not used in a commercial sense, -but in its secondary meaning of giving notice or information. Bro. Jenks comment is: "Is not the advertising feature somewhat foreign to the teachings and traditions of the Craft? In most Masonic Jurisdictions the Lodges are forbidden to ~ppear in Masonic clothing, because it is felt that it would be an indirect advertisement of Freemasonry. In some they may not even appear so clothed at a Masonic funeral, except by special dispensation. In some their members are forbidden to wcar a Masonic pin or other Masonic insignia for similar reasons. As an advertisement it 'has Bull Durham and Camel Cigarettes backed off the boards. It is probably one of the most stupendous and expensive advertisements ever conceived by the mind of man. As advertising Freemasonry is contrary to our teachings, why emphasize that feature of the projects?"

We hope the building of the Washington Memorial will have one good effect; that it will close the mouths of our Roman Catholic friends who have been denying that Washington was a Freemason. If advertising Freemasonry by calling public attention to its principles is a sin, the writer has been a transgressor for more than forty years. He has delivered more than a hundred addresses at cornerstone layings and has always taken advantage of such occasions to set forth the principles of Freemasonry in a way that he hoped would incline good men, who were not Masons, to think favorably of our Order. June 24, 1894, was Sunday. In a Missouri town of only a few thousand inhabitants he preached two sermons on Freemasonry to large audiences. In October, following, he was informed that the Lodge had received twenty petitions since June 24. Nor is he ashamed to wear Masonic emblems. Thirty years ago a small Commandery in which he had knighted their candidates for some years, presented him with a Maltese Cross which hangs on his watch chain. Later a friend gave him a Shriner's button which

adorns his coat. More recently a Scottish Rite Mason, whose father and mother he married more than forty-six years ago (later he conducted their funerals), presented him with a 32째 ring which he is not ashamed to wear. .He is often called on to conduct Masonic funerals and does not hesitate to wear, on such occasions, the expensive Jewel of a Past Grand Master presented t(l hini by the Grand Lodge of Missouri. He has never asked any man to become a Freemason, but h(> believes that in the course of the years his influence in the public way, that our Reviewer calls advertising, has influenced some good men to petition for the mysteries of Freemasonry. In concluding his Report he says: "It was proposed to make it obligatory for a Lodge to salute

the flag of our country whenever a Lodge is opened. The Grand Lodge refused to adopt this, and very properly so, as the ceremony has no place in our ritual." ,

Well Said. "Brother Arthur Mather again presents the Correspondence Report, which is a good one, Wisconsin receives a little over two pages of courteous review and comment. We thank him for the complimen t of pronouncing the writer as 'one of the best in the world'. We like to receive our flowers while we are living and can appreciate them."

Secretary of Louisiana for Flood relief. Of this amount $610.70 was contributed by the Grand Chapter, Grand Commandery and Consistory No.1, A. A. S. R. The Grand Master ruled that a youth who was not of age when be filled out his petition but was 21 when initiated could lawfully be made a Freemason. Another Grand Master, toward the rising sun, ruled that a candidate must be twenty-one when he signs his petition. George Washington was not twenty-one when he was initiated, yet he made a fairly good Freemason, notwithstanding what was written not long ago by a fiction writer who tried to spit in the face of the Father of his Country. The strong wind of public indignation blew the slime back in his own face. Dr. Cadman in comment said,路 quoting the proverb that "a pup can look at a King." That "one has only to look on the two faces to see that the pup looked at the King, but did not look like the King." When some one mentioned the matter to President 'Coolidge he looked out the window and then remarked, "The Monument is still there." Closing.

The Grand Master's closing words are: "In conclusion, I wish to state that it has been a great disappointment to me that I was unable to visit more Lodges. I willed otherwise, but with our weak human vision, there are many things we cannot see or understand. I do not know who is the author of the following lines. They were presented to me by my mother. 'God's plans like flowers pure and white unfold, We must not tear the close-shut leaves apart; Time will reveal the calyxes of gold; And when through patient toil we reach the land Where tired feet, with sandals loosed, may restWhen we shall know and understand, I think that we shall say: 'God knew the best'."

The Grand Secretary is correspondent. He refers briefly in a fraternal way to our communication of 192:6. Speaks of the Dedication of our Masonic Temple at St. Louis in the. presence of 2'5,000 spectators and notes our action in declining to make a salute to the Flag a part of our opening ceremony. He quotes these words of greeting from Rev. ,C. C. Woods, D. D., Past Grand Master and Grand Correspondent Emeritus:

"I have been a Freemason for nearly three score years. I am now in my eighty-ninth year and looking back over the past, my observation and experience impress me more and more with the fact that Freemasonry is the most complete system of moral philos路 ophy known to man-needing only to make it divinely perfectthat of accepting the Gallilean-the Man of the Garden and of the Cross as the Son of God, Our Redeemer and Friend! Peace be with you!"

This was his last message. On Monday, May 12, he peacefully fell. asleep at his winter home at Sarasota, Florida. His remains were nr.ought to Marshall, Missouri, where he began his ministry in 1860. At his request the funeral service at Marshall and the burial service at Arrow Rock, where some of his loved ones sleep, were conducted by Rev. Arthur Mather, D. D., Grand Chaplain, and Rev. C. H. Briggs, D. D., Past Grand Master of the Grand Lodge. Had he live~ till July 1, he would have been eighty-nine. "Know ye not that there is a prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel?"

'l'ennessee. Saskatchewan, and Kentucky. Since his address was written Texas has recognized the York Grand Lodge, thus making amends for its mistaken action in withdrawing recognition seven or eight years ago. In 1922 the writer spent four days in Tampico, set its commandery to work under its charter, preached one Sunday morning in the Masonic Temple, and gave a public Masonic address. From Tampico he went to Mexico City where he visited Anahuac Lodge No.3 and he gave a Masonic address and Teltec Lodge No.1 where he witnessed the conferring of the Third Degree. By invitation 路of the Master he gave the Lecture and Charge. On, Sunday he preached in Christ Church Cathedral. There is no good reason why any American -Grand Lodge should withhold recognition of the York Grand Lodge of Mexico. Those brethren are our kind of Freemasons. Visitations.

The Grand Master reported eieven visitations. were for the purpose of dedicating Masonic Halls.

In addition to the above named dedications he had the pleasure on March 12, 1927, of dedicating the new Masonic Hall in Mexico City which will serve Toltec Lodge No.1, Anahuge Lodge No.3.

We quote from the address, on this subject: "We regret that as yet we cannot see our way to extend recognition to Mexican Grand Lodges. With no antagonism whatever existing between us, we feel that we cannot associate with them because their conception of Freemasonry is entirely different to ours. Should the Mexican Grand Lodges comply with the fundamental principles as known in England and the United States. we would be the first to offer them the hand of friendship. We need

as requisites, belief in the one Living and True God, the presence of the Holy Bible on the altar at all communications, a strict adherence to the Landmarks, no discussion of religion or politics in the Lodge and absence of treaties with so-called higher Bodies. We find that most of the British and American Grand Lodges refuse recognition to the Grand Lodges of France, Italy, Spain and others On account of their inability to meet the above requirements. Our stand is not an arbitrary one. It is simply the effort on our part to uphold undefiled Freemasonry and to associate with Brethren who have adopted a similar interpretation as ourselves of the principles of the Order."

Correspondence.

The Report is by Missouri's Grand Representative, Past Grand Ma,ster, Mark A. Loevy. He gives full and fraternal recognition to Missouti. He has this to say of our New Temple in St. Louis which the Grand Lodge dedicated in 1926: "This was a real Grand Communication because the magnificent new temple erected by the members of this Grand Jurisdiction was consecrated and dedicated to the Fraternity. There may be more stately and magnificent structures elsewhere, but this building will be considered as the peak of excellence for Masonic meetings and communications. Even the most simple and inconsiderable details an~ conveniences have been provided for, and genius consists in looking after trifles."

He regrets that no review of their Proceedings appears in our report. "We desire always to hear what Missouri thinl{s about one of the Grand Lodges it has sponsored so many years."

He is right in thinking this omission was on account of failure to receive their Proceedings.

ORDER OF THE EASTERN STAR The Advisory Board has been most active in the past year in supplying the furnishings throughout the Home where needed. Their great work is in placing a permanent monument in honor of their great Or'll'er of the Eastern Star, in building and completing a most beautiful Chapel at a cost of about $85,000.00 which their Order has financed and expected to be dedicated during this session of the Grand Lodge and I hope no representative will go home without viewing an'll inspecting the handsome Chapel, and in doing so will appreciate the great work being done for the Home by the noble band of women of the Order of the E'astern Star, and the special thanks of the members of the Masonic Order and especially from the Board of Directors is hereby extended to the untiring work of the members of the Advisory Boar'll for the benefit of the Masonic Home at all times. JOHN T. SHORT

Bro. John T. Short, in the discharge of his duties as Superintendent, sUddenly died while dictating a letter Nov. 28, 1927. CROCKETT HARRISON

At a Full Board Meeting April 9, 1928, Bro. Crockett Harrison was elected to the position as Superinten'llent to assume his duties May 1st, 1928. IN CONCLUSION.

In the past year 102 came into the Home with eight applications approved yet to enter, the Board having approved 110 applications. The Home has care'll for 1,723 since it was opened 39 years ago. At the present ratio of applications it will be but a few years when additional buildings must be built to accommDdate the rapid increase, having added to our permanent members 35 in the past year. The dedication of the beautiful Chapel having taken place every member of this Grand Lo'llge was privileged to see the great work of the Order of the Eastern Star in building, financing and presenting it to the Masonic Home. You, also, were on the ground and I hope you thoroughly inspected the Grand monument you have built to the honor of the Masonic Fraternity. And may the blessing of our Supreme architect rest upon each member is my hope and prayer. Fraternally submitted, SOL E. WAGGONER, President.

The increase in the Endowment Fund for the year was $49,689.59. The interest return from the endowment was $33,486.58, an increase in interest of. $4,349.99. Our audit gives every evidence of the care and skill used in the investment of our funds. Interest payments are made promptly. Every loan was in splendid condition, and the Masonic Fraternity can well be prOUd of the fact that in the history of the Home not one cent of endowment money has ever been lost, a record equalled by very few loaning agencies and excelled by none. T. W. COTTON, W. W. MARTIN. All of the above securities are kept by the Trustees of the Endowment Fund in the safe deposit box in St. Louis, Mo., rented by the Masonic Home, access to which can be had only by the presence of two or more of the Trustees of the Endowment Fund, or one of said Trustees accompanied by the President of the Masonic Home, Or by one of said Trustees accompanied by one or more members of the Finance Committee of the Masonic Home, or by one of the said Trustees accompanied by the Secretary of tbe Board or the Grand Secretary of the M. W. Grand Lodge of Missouri. At a Full Board Meeting beld January 1, 1926, the following resolution was adopted:

Kansas City, Mo., August 15, 1928.

Ah. Sol E. Waggoner, President, Masonic Home of Missouri, St. Louis, Mo. Dear Brother Waggoner: On behalf of the Executive Committee of the Masonic Home Board, we submit the following report for the, Masonic Year now drawing to a close. As in the past, this has been a busy year; requiring the most careful and best thought of the Committee, and those charged with the duty of looking after the welfare of the Home family. The questions presented change a little with each year and each proposition must have, and is given, sincere and charitable consideration,

1928.]

Appendix.

265

and an effort made to reach a conclusion in harmony with the tenets of Freemasonry. The members of the Committee, as well as those of the Board of Directors, and its Advisory members, are, in the main, men and women who have made the subject of Masonic charity the study of their lives, and are well grounded in its fundamentals. They are .improving the opportunity to serve their less fortunate Brothers and Sisters, and their dependents. The Grand Lodge and Order of the Eastern Star have generously provided sufficient funds to care for the comfort of both the old and the young members of the family. To jUdicially manage, and economically expend the money furnished for such purpose has been our never-ceasin'g aim. . As the Home grows older and its family increases in membership, many serious and trying question's are presented for solution. Among these is the one as to what shall be done with some dear, old Brother or Sister who has been a cheerful and happy member of the family for possibly many years, but whose mental condition has become such, as a result of the ravages of time, that they become a menace to the others. The Committee, as well as the full Board, when considering such cases, has uniformly determined that the peace of mind, or possibly the life of any member must not be put in jeopardy on account of their failure to take the necessary action to insure the safety of the others, and has ~ad this class of unfortunates taken back to the Lodges whence they came. We are very thankful that only a few such cases require any action on our part. The net in.crease of thirty-nine in the Home family during the last year, suggests the thought that it will require only a few more years to reach the capacity of our comfortable housing facilities, and it behooves us to soon begin to make arrangements to satisfactorily meet such a condition. Our faith in the loyalty and generosity of the Fraternity and the O. E. S. is such that we believe the necessary funds with which to meet this additional expense will be supplied when needed. The general conditions at the Home are satisfactory and the family seems to be happy and contented, from the babes of only a very few years of age to those with approximately a century behind them. Every need is being looked after, not only tempo..aI, but spiritual, and the thanks of the Ho.me Management, as

266

[Sept.

well as the beneficiaries are due the Frat~rnity and O. E. S. for their thoughtfulness and generosity. The wonderful devotitm and loyalty to the home family and the helpful ministrations of the Advisory Members of the Board, and the generosity of the Order of the Eastern Star still challenge our most sincere admiration. During the year they have been more active, if possible, in their efforts in the best interests of old and young than in any previous year. In addition to supplying much furniture and many other articles for the happiness and convenience of the Home family's temporal needs, they have had constructed, and paid for out of funds contributed by the Order, and actually made' the Home a present of, a beautiful and magnificent Chapel, at a cost of approximately $90,000.00, in which are to be conducted religious and other services intended to contribute to the happiness and spiritual uplift of humanity. As future generations look on this splendid monument to the kindly consideration of this organization someone possibly may exclaim, "Somebody made a loving gift, Somebody tried a load to lift." Fraternally, R. R. KREEGER, Chairman. SUPERINTENDENT'S RE?ORT.

St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 30, 1928. Sol E. vVaggol1er, President, Masonic Home Board, St. Louis, Mo. Dear Sir and Brother: I came to the Home May 1st last, as Superintendent. The Home had been without a Superintendent for some months, the work having been cared for yourself and your assistants. I found the Home wonderfully organized and managed. I have as best I could picked up the work from day to day, and tried to do the work of a Superintendent just as fast as my experience would allow me. I have had all the good help, assistance and information that you and your assistants could give me from your years of experience, which I very much appreciate. I only hope the members of the Home family both old and young, and the management are as willing to accept my assistance as I feel that I am to give it, and hope that I may be a real help to the Home.

From all indications the membership is going to increase rapidly, and the work of the Home and the good it may do will be increased as time goes on. On behalf of the Management and members of the Home family, I wish to express our appreciation and thanks for all the entertainment and good times given the Home family by the Christmas Committee, and others, who have given so freely of their time in various ways to make it pleasant for us.

Mr. Sol E. Waggoner, President, Masonic Home of Mi.ssouri. Dear Sir and Brother: The past year has been a very pleasing one to your committee, because of the activities of all departments of the Home in carrying on the work {)f the Home in a beautiful spirit of co-operation. The Board has had the enthusiastic support of everyone in carrying on the great work in which we are engaged.

As in the past, we have had throughout the year the fullest cooperation and support by members of the Advis{)ry Board of the Order of the Eastern Star, for which' we desire to express OUi" hearty appreciation. The Order which they represent has nearing completion on the Home grounds, a beautiful chapel, which will ~ong constitute a monument to their helpfulness and zeal for the right.

REPORT OF HOUSE COMMITTEE.

Aug. 31, 1928.

Mr. Sol E. Waggoner, President, !Y/ asonic Home, St. Louis, Mo. Dear Sir and Brother: Please find herewith the re[o1't of your House Committee for the Masonic year ending August 31st, 1928. . Our family has been both large and happy this year. We have admitted into the Home during this year children and adults, giving us in the aggregate 396 members as of this 'date. We now have in our Nursery 6 tiny tots of the following ages co-wit: eighteen months to 36 months. We wish every Freemason in the State of Missouri could visit our "Nursery" and, for that matter, all the departments of our Home, where they are always most welcome to the Management, and see for themselves the wonderful M,asonic work, which through their generosity we are carrying on in the Home. 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 br.ought much cheer and comfort to the members of our Home. Likewise, certain Lodges, a number of Chapters and many individuals have given generously of their time and money to bring' added sunshine to both our children and old people. The Advisory Board of the Eastern Star, like Tennysou'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. The two outstanding events of the year are the change in our Superintendent, and, the completion of our Chapel. On the 28th day of November, 1927, our Superintendent M. W. Brother John T. Short was suddenly called to the Celestial Lodge above. His great work for the Home was his superintendency of the remodeling of the Jewish Hospital Building into what we now call the Master's Lodge, which is occupied by aged men. In due coursâ&#x201A;Ź Bro. Crockett Harrison of Fulton, Mo., was chosen on the 8th day of April, this year, to take up the work where Bro. Short had left off. During the interim Sister WÂˇaller carried much of the work

"hich properly belongs to the Superintendent, and splendidly she did it too-as she does all things which are entrusted to her. The other item of unusual significance, the Chapel, recently completed and will be dedicated by the Grand Lodge the day before the annual session of the Grand Lodge next month. The ·Chapel is a gift from the Easter Star Sisters of Missouri and is a splendiu building which rounds out beautifully our large group of buildings constituting the Home. Our sincere thanks are always extended to the various Lodges, Chapters, Bodies, and persons who have given of their time and subst.ance 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, JOS. S. McINTYRE, Chairman. HOSPITAL REPORT.

Aug. 30, 1928. Mr. Sol E. UT aggoner, P"esident, Masonic Home of M i'ssouri, St. Louis, Mo. Dear Sir and Brother:

I herewith submit the following tabular report of the cases treated in the Masonic Home during the last y€ar ending September 1, 1928. During the year covered by this report we have had about the same number of chronic eases among the older members of the Home family. We have had about the usual number of deaths, mostly due to their advanced years. As yet \ve have not had a death among the children. This is to be considered a 'great deal more as we are now admitting them at a younger age than during the past, a few joining us at the age of two.or a little past. We have not had any contagious case this year. This is due to having the children all vaccinated and immunized against this type of disease. I wish to thank Mrs. Waller, Matron of bhe children, and Mrs. McCue, Matron of the old people, for all the assistance they have given me, also the members of the Medical Staff for the kind and prompt assistance rendered by them. The unusual smooth fun-

As Matron or Mother of the children of our Masonic Home, it is a great pleasure to give you a short report of our past year. n has been an unusually busy year and I am grateful to my co-workers for their assistance and loyal support. Many of our children enjoyed a summer vacation with relatives and those remaining at. Home have faithfully carried on the work of the Home and found time to enjoy the swimming pool and many pleasant outings. June 2nd was "Home Coming Day" and ninety-eight who had once been children in the Masonic Home, registered. It was a

272

Appe1idix.

great pleasure to see them meet and recognize each other after many years of separation, and ,hear them recall pleasant days spent in the Home. The different Bodies of St. Louis have done so much during the last year for the entertainment of the children that we have not the space to mention same in detail. However, in behalf of the children, I want to thank each one for the joy and pleasure they have brought to the Home. The Christmas Committee followed their usual custom and generously remembered us each holiday with appropriate gifts. Between holidays they furnished entertainment in the way of picnics, boat excursion, shows and watermelon feast. They also furnished the children with balls, bats, tennis balls and rackets. In fact, the Christmas 90mmittee is a REAL SANTA CLAUS each month in the year. The O. E. 'S. Gift Giving Day was well attended by the O. E. S. Grand Officers. After the distribution of the presents, the remainder of the day was spent visiting with members of the Home family. The O. E. S. Advisory Board has kept us well supplied with linens, rugs, beddings, etc. They have furnished new beds in the children's ward of the hospital. The Advisory Board is so willing and ready at all times to do their part that it makes my part of the work much easier. They have been sisters, indeed, to us in our work. In regard to the health of our children, too much praise can路 not be given Dr. Rice, who answers our call at any hour-day or night-and gives our children every attention. Next to Dr. 路Rice comes Mrs. Miller, head nurse, who at all times sees to our children receiving proper care. To the President, Board of Directors, House Committee and Advisory Board, I wish to express my appreciatiop. and especially to the P~esident, Bro. Waggoner, for the good advice given me for the past eight years. I am truly grateful for every kindness shown me and I have tried to give you my best service. Fraternally, WILMOTH WALLER, Matron.

137, women 103. Some have passed away and many others have come. The general health of our old people has been good due to the close attention of Dr. Rice and Mrs. Miller, head nurse. 75 members are patients in the hospital. Quite a number have had vacations and the remainder have enjoyed the summer at Home. '1'here have been many entertainments throughout the year. We wish to thank the C~ristmas 'Committee for Christmas gifts, 'boat excursion, watermelon feast, shows and chicken dinner. Also the Eastern Star for the gifts on January 1st.

Aug. 30, 1928. Mr. Sol E. Waggoner, President, Masonic Home of lvf issouri,

St. Louis, Mo. Dear Sir and Brother: Last year's report of the work of 1Jhe O. E. S. Advisory Board, brought to a close the furnishing of the additional rooms of the greater Masonic Home, and we rejoiced in the aC'hievement. In this report we 'bring tidings of great joy because of the completion of the new and handsome Chapel, erected on the Masonic Home grounds by permission of the Board, and through the contributions from the Chapters and O. E. S. Clubs interested in the welfare of t:tte Home, and in Our work. The building of this Chapel has been no small responsibility, and but for your wise council and ai~, together with the encouragement of the members of the Home Board, we would sometimes have felt burdened. But having had the hearty co-operation of all concerned, we feel rewarded, and confident of the approval of those whom we serve. The sudden death of Bro..John Short, robbed us of a valuable

[Sept.

advisor, one in whose judgment we felt safe, and we have missed him greatly. We truly appreciate the faith manifested in our efforts, the ad vice so' kindly and graciously given, and the friendship which exists between your Board and ours. ~hile our thoughts and la'bors have been somewhat centered ill one great object, (tohe completion of the Chapel), we have nevertheless kept up our end of the job of meeting all requisitions for linens, and other supplies as heretofore. Our New Year's party was, as we hoped, a more joyous event than the one of the previous year, and it shall be our aim to make each succeeding year enter with increased pleasure for our beloved family. Contributions received for the furtherance of our work, have been generous as usual, amounting to approximately $10,000.00. With the Chapel finished, the rooms furnished, and supply rooms filled, we will be looking for some other big thing to do, so do not hesitate to let us know wherein we may be helpful. Our very best wishes are. with Bro. Harrison in his work as Superintendent and we hope th8.,t he too will call upon us if in any way we can be of service in this wonderful Home. Yours fraternally, ELLA JEAN FLANDERS, President, EDITH V. BADER, Secretary, JOSEPHINE S. FISHER, Treasurer.
