Address of the Grand Master To the Grand Lodge ofAncient, Free and Accepted Masons DEAR BRETHREN:

It is with sincere wannth and gratitude that I welcome each of you, and especially all of our out of state visitors, to the 168th Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Missouri. Your presence here in Columbia, Missouri, the site of our Grand Lodge Office, is greatly appreciated, and I hope that some of the new ideas and thoughts that win be presented and discussed during this session will carry into every constituent lodge throughout the -state. It is my sincere belief that those who attend these communications are without a doubt, the leaders that we must retain and strive to keep involved, if this Fraternity is to continue to be the giant it is in the world today. 'Ib our Past Grand Masters who are an so deeply concerned with the happenings of this Fraternity, it is a pleasure and an honor to have you in attendance. Your guidance these past months has been appreciated and I ask your forgiveness of any errors or omissions that may have occurred during this Masonic year. A special welcome to all of the District Deputy Grand Masters and District Deputy Grand Lecturers. This year I have been blessed with an outstanding corp, who have worked together, and for each other, in the true spirit of Masonic Brotherhood. The accomplishments they have achieved have definitely put this Grand Master in their debt. I would also like to welcome the heads of all the appendant bodies here this year. Although all are Master Masons first, their involvement in another of our Masonic Family branches has served to bring this state closer together. The support of all these groups has always been available on request. STATE OF THE CRAFT

"There is good and bad in everything, I guess," and such a quotation holds very true in this Fraternity. There is definitely a glimmer of light and high hopes for the future, but the present is still struggling to hold the problems of today's world from overcoming our constituent lodges. On the discouraging side is the number of small membership lodges that cannot get the attendance necessary to accomplish their monthly business, and therefore have to keep striving to maintain their active status. In contrast to that is the larger number of extremely active lodges that are involved in programs and activities that makes their membership proud and eager to claim that they belong to the best in their respective district. Although I have tried to visit those lodges throughout the state this

1989

GRAND WOOE OF MISSOURI

year that expressed a need for an official visit, I felt totally inadequate in solving the one question that needed to be answered, and that is "What can we do to get our members beck to the lodge hallT' While many of our Brethren are making that extra effort and visiting other lodges, and District No. 21 showed an outstanding accomplishment of this, there is still a lacking of that indefinable "something" that will bring out those that are now just willing to be dues paying members. The main problem that exists in our lodges today is the involvement needed from a larger percentage of the existing membership. The willingness and effort being put forth by the officers of our constituent lodges is highly commendable, but in too many incidences is meeting with very little success. Although the concern is there, the ability to achieve the goals and programs required by the Grand Lodge and the lodge Master is failing due to the small number of Brethren willing to be involved.

AREA MEETINGS We held eight (8) Area Meetings last fall. All were well organized by your Grand Secretary, R.W. Brother Terry C. Alexander, and gave your various Grand Lodge officers the chance to meet with the constituent lodge officers to present the program that we strived to complete this year. The attendance varied from a low of 126 in Cape Girardeau to a high of 170 in St. Louis. The attendance at the meetings totaled, without duplication, 1,469. This calculates to approximately 75% of the total number of Brethren that could have attended. However, I'm happy to report that 96% of the lodges had someone to represent them. At these meetings the following opinion poll was distributed, voted on by only those lodge officers and District Deputies who were inclined to let us know their opinion, and gave these results:

AREA MEETING OPINION POLL Question No. 1: ~ Should Missouri have a legal cipher to assist candidates in learning the ritual? 854

l:iQ

421

Question No.2: Should an explanatory phrase be inserted into Missouri ritual to indicate that the Ancient Penalties in our obligation are "symbolic" in nature and do not 733 constitute a literal interpretation?

533

Question No.3: This question concerning solicitation was academic due to the proposal to amend Section 13.050 which was passed at the 1988 Grand Lodge Session, howe1,047 ver, brought these results.

Question No.6: Are you satisfied with a central Missouri location as the site for the Grand Lodge annual communication? Traditionally, the sessions are held in St. Louis, Kansas City or Springfield.

Question No.7: Should the Grand Master, actively and with greater authority, force lodge consolidations?

This information is being used by not only the Long-Range Planning Committee, but also by your Grand Lodge line officers for planning during the next few years. While the lodge Secretaries met with the Grand Secretary for approximately thirty minutes, this does not seem to be enough time to discuss and solve their problems. One of the more vocal complaints generated by these Brethren, especially the newly elected Secretaries, was not being able to have more instruction in lodge matters and coordination of activities through the Grand Secretary's office. If we are going to expect success from our constituent lodges, then we must meet their needs and requests at these Area Meetings. The format used by this Grand Master needs to be revised to better enable accomplishment of these requirements.

APPENDANT BODIES I was fortunate this past year to attend the Scottish Rite Symposium in Branson, and the York Rite Conference in Jefferson City. Also, due to the generosity of the Shrine Temples in Missouri, and especially Ararat Temple in Kansas City, I was privileged to be present at the Imperial Session of the Shrine of North America, held in 'Ibronto, Canada. It was very encouraging at all of these functions to hear from those in attendance just how concerned they are with the problems of the Blue Lodge. Without a doubt all of these Brethren are involved with the idea of how to keep the Masonic Fraternity as a strong base and to function within the parameters set by the Grand Lodge of Missouri. However, I must say that most of these Brethren attending were also our active Masons who are involved at all levels of Freemasonry, and thankfully still find time to do more.

GRAND LODGE OF MISSOURI

NECROLOGY The saddest part of any year is when we remember those who have departed this life during the preceding year. We would all like to believe that life eternal could be taken literally, and that our time here on earth would never end. However, we also know that what is to be, will be, for it is God's way. One of the greatest losses we experienced this year was the death of a valued Brother and close friend, R.W. Brother W. Tribbey Nickerson. Brother 1iibbey was active not only in Blue Lodge, but all the appendant bodies as well. He was an appointed Grand Lodge Chaplain for the current Masonic year, and his death left a vacancy which I felt no one else should fill. His robust zest for life and love for his fellow man will be sadly missed by his congregation and Brother Master Masons. To all of our departed Brethren's families we express our deepest sympathy, but rejoice in the pride of having enjoyed their fellowship and brotherhood, within our Fraternity, for however short a time. I will call on Dr. and M.W. Brother J.C. Montgomery, Jr., for a memorial service. GRAND MASTER'S BREAKFASTS

The several breakfast events were some of the more pleasant experiences in which I participated this year. On October 9th the greater Kansas City area held the 5th Annual Grand Master's Breakfast at Ararat Temple in Kansas City. Although relatively new, it was well organized and entertaining, with a good attendance by Brethren and their ladies. On October 15th I visited Perseverance Lodge No. 92 in Louisiana, for their traditional 4:00 a.m. breakfast. In spite of the early hour, the attendance and fellowship was exceptional. On October 30th Freedom Lodge No. 636 held their annual breakfast honoring the Grand Master, and on April 30th the Eastern side of the state held the Grand Master's Breakfast at the Scottish Rite 'Thmple in St. Louis. There seems to be growing support for these functions, and the Brethren willingly start their day with a program planned to honor路-the GrandMaster. Of course the Grand-daddy is the St. Louis meeting and an outstanding crowd attended the non-denominational services, with the breakfast following. At this 37th annual affair, the organization and effort of the Breakfast Committee and the support from the Brethren of the greater St. Louis area made one and all proud to be in attendance.

LONG-RANGE PLANNING SESSION In January all of the Grand Lodge officers and the three members of the Long-Range Planning Committee met for a two day session in Columbia, under the direction of the Lawrence-Leiter Company. The idea was to conduct a planning workshop that hopefully would lead to a continuity program within the Grand Lodge officer's agenda.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE

1989

These Brethren started by analyzing the existing situation and purpose of the Grand Lodge, discussed member segments and their needs, and considered the services offered by the Grand Lodge to the constituent lodges. A proposed organizational chart was drawn and spheres of influences noted, which would affect such a chart. Strengths and weaknesses as well as opportunities and problems were discussed with a goal of developing suggested actions to accomplish proposed Grand Lodge programs. I firmly believe we have taken a necessary first step. One of the strengths which has also created the number one problem of the Missouri Blue Lodge as seen by this group was explored. A discussion of our required ritual and how to limit its "gate keeping" function was debated. Brethren, our ritual is something we need, and should be proud to have and use. It sets us apart from other organizations, fraternal, or otherwise, and establishes the precedent that many have tried to use to build a very selective body. However, at the same time it has become necessary to eliminate the mis-conception that everyone must be a ritualist, in order to be a productive and useful member of this Fraternity. We have members now that are hesitant to go to lodge meetings because they may have to work on the floor or take part in degree work. For many of our Brethren the fear of embarrassment before their peers is enough to prevent them from being involved with their own Blue Lodge. How to dispel this feeling, while keeping a quality ritual in place - one that we all can still be proud of - is of utmost importance to this Fraternity today. The solution to that problem will be a real challenge for future Grand Lodge officers as well as our constituent lodge officers. Your Deputy Grand Master has reacted to this planning session and is incorporating some of the most important objectives into his plans for the 1989-90 Masonic year. Your Senior Grand Warden has also incorporated some of the ideas into his goals, as incoming President of the Masonic Home Board. If the remaining advancing line officers will apply these planning ideas and institute the necessary action, that they themselves agreed upon, then we have started a long range plan that will indeed bring about some necessary changes in our Fraternity. Hopefully they will succeed.

MASONIC SERVICE MONTH One of my goals this year was to encourage more community service by our lodges, however I was only partially successful. Approximately 20% of the Blue Lodges sent in reports of a service they performed for someone, or some organization, within their community. I know of a few lodges that didn't consider the success of their task worthy of the competition that was being held. Others couldn't accomplish it within the month of May as designated, therefore didn't submit a report. All of the projects were impressive, but the percent of involvement by our Blue Lodges was far short of our intended goal. The encouraging part of this program was reviewing some of the services that were performed by approximately one hundred lodges with reports submitted. Many good ideas were used and I narrowed the competi-

1989

GRAND LODGE OF MISSOURI

tion down to the following seven lodges listed here according to lodge number, not necessarily as to how they were rated. Mercer Lodge No. 35 - Princeton - Landscaped Bandstand Park for city. Jefferson Lodge No. 43 - Jefferson City - Weatherized nine homes in area and conducted a successful blood drive. Savannah Lodge No. 71 - Savannah - Set up two separate projects, 1) Landscaped and planted shrubbery with Main Street Committee 2) Mowed and did general clean up work with the Parks and Recreation Board. If this award were to be judged on the basis of presentation only, Savannah would be tops. The pictures, newspaper coverage, and member participation was truly commendable. Compass Lodge No. 120 - Parkville - Set up and manned a courtesy booth at Dearborn rest stop serving the traveling public on Memorial Day. Corinthian Lodge No. 265 - Warrensburg - Held three projects, 1) Answered telephone for a public service television station. 2) Helped conduct door to door fund drive for Cancer Society. 3) Organized picnic at the site of the Masonic College Memorial in Lexington. Meramec Lodge No. 313 - Eureka - Accomplished two projects, 1) Assisted in preparation and distribution of food baskets for the needy. 2) Sponsored a local boys baseball team. Marceline Lodge No. 481 - Marceline - Provided the use of their building to high school students after their Prom. There was entertainment, games, prizes during the evening and a breakfast served in the morning to some 91 students. If this award was to be based on a unique endeavor, then surely Marceline would win. Fantastic idea! Buckner Lodge No. 501 - Buckner - Worked for the Senior Citizens complex and painted all of the wooden trash pick-Up points located therein. The entry forms of these seven finalists were then presented to your Grand Lodge Officers and rated on a point basis. The totals were very close, and the winner will be announced at the Grand Lodge Session. Needless to say all that participated are winners, both in community and lodge involvement. Thanks to each and every Brother who took part in these worthwhile endeavors.

DECISIONS Having received a request to rule on property of Florida Lodge No. 23 after they consolidated with Lick Creek Lodge No. 302, I advised Lick

PROCEEDINGS OF THE

1989

Creek Lodge to prepare a Quit Claim Deed from the Grand Lodge to Lick Creek Lodge, which would release all claim of the Grand Lodge on such property. Said deed was then approved. Ruled that a solicitation notice as outlined by Hope Lodge No. 251 violated Section 25.090 of our Constitution and By-Laws, even though the project seemed to be very worthwhile. Questioned about the transfer of a non-proficient Entered Apprentice from Breckenridge Lodge No. 334 to Alpha Lodge No. 657. Found that Section 20.080 of the Constitution and By-Laws prevailed and that a certificate of good standing could be issued if the Brother was no longer a resident of the original jurisdiction.

RECOMMENDATIONS One of the main concerns expressed to me this year from the Brethren of this Fraternity, was how to encourage involvement of their members in lodge activities. With that in mind I request the Education Committee consider this recommendation. That Masonic Service Month become a requirement of the Achievement Award Program. This step is needed to promote more lodge involvement in community events and hopefully to interest more Brethren in public projects. All lodges should be able to accomplish at least one service project during the month of May. Since there is still much confusion regarding the liability insurance program and other reports required from lodge secretaries, I believe more instructional opportunities should be offered. The Grand Secretary should be charged with the task of scheduling a lodge secretarial training session in at least four areas of the state. This would allow all constituent lodge secretaries to present their concerns for discussion. The problems and questions that need to be addressed are numerous and cannot be handled individually by telephone.

GRAND LOOOE OF MISSOURI

The following suggestion was proposed regarding our Senior Brethren. Rosendale Lodge No. 404 in St. Joseph contacted me with an idea which I think needs serious consideration. When a Brother receives his 50 year pin he would also be entitled to a special membership card. This permanent card need not be re-issued each year. As there are approximately 4,000 such members in this Fraternity, this would be a cost saving program, as well as a status symbol. I also found confusion among the craft as to when certain Grand Lodge programs were scheduled. Therefore a calendar of events of the Grand Lodge year should be prepared and mailed to each constituent lodge. This calendar should be issued as early as possible to help newly installed Masters avoid scheduling conflicts. Communication is a key to being successful. The last recommendation concerns the Long-Range Planning report. A copy of the report as prepared by the Lawrence-Leiter Company should be presented to each new advancing Grand Lodge Officer for his information. This practice should be continued until a new study is conducted. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to thank all the Brethren throughout the state for the many courtesies and hospitality afforded me this past year. Friendships made will long be remembered, and the memorabilia collected will also serve as a constant reminder of functions attended and the special people within this Fraternity. The Grand Lodge Officers were especially cooperative, and through their willingness to accept several difficult tasks and challenges, I feel we made real progress. With their help and advice they have made the road much smoother these past twelve months, and my gratitude is hereby acknowledged. The District Deputy Grand Masters were very supportive. There is not a proper way to thank so many that worked so hard to build a Grand Master's image. The devotion to our Fraternity by these Brethren is evident by their interest and involvement, and I can only say 'thank you' for your contribution this past year. I must also say the District Deputy Grand Lecturers worked right alongside their counterparts and added a great deal to the overall performance. One of my committee chairmen felt it necessary to resign during the year, and I wish to convey a special thanks to R.W. Brother Linton W. Kneemiller for his ideas and his efforts to improve Freemasonry through

PROCEEDINGS OF THE

1989

Public Relations. Some of his committee sponsored projects will be remembered by this Fraternity for many years to come, as will his slogan "I'M PROUD TO BE A MISSOURI MASON". A truly great effort has been put forth by this worthy Brother. To all the various committees and especially their chairmen, I also express my appreciation for continued involvement. Without your records and reports there would be little documentation of the inner workings of the Grand Lodge year. Without the assistance of our Grand Lodge Secretary, R.W. Brother Terry C. Alexander, it would have been impossible for this Grand Master to accomplish all his duties. I thank him for his help and guidance, and the ability to adjust to any problem we encountered. A note of thanks also to R.W. Brother Frank Ames.Arnold, for willingly accepting special assignments throughout the year, and for representing the Grand Master at the l00th Annual Grand Lodge Communication of North Dakota. His experience and knowledge of Masonic matters is unlimited and invaluable. Finally, a special acknowledgment to my wife, Betty. Without her assistance and constant support, this year would not have been- as pleasant. She has worked with me through many years of involvement in Freemasonry, without regret or complaint, and for this I am grateful.

CONCLUSION Brethren, it is because of the involvement of your lodges that this year will always be remembered and cherished by me. The future of Freemasonry is, as always, in the hands of the constituent lodges and their leadership. If we as your Grand Lodge Officers can only provide you with ideas and the proper interpretation of the Law and Regulations of this Fraternity, then there is no doubt you will carry on toward continued success. The leadership of this Fraternity, both on the state level and the constituent lodge level, must continue to advocate that Freemasonry is not a year to year commitment, but a lifelong membership. While it is obvious that there will always be problems within our society, and although we cannot be directly involved in all situations, our association with Freemasonry will provide us the tools to better influence others. With all of our Masonic leaders emphasizing change, ideas must be analyzed and considered to bring our Fraternity to modern day standards. Let us all adjust our thinking so other generations of Freemasons will always be proud to belong to our Fraternity. The ideas and acts that are the foundation of this organization must continue to shine for all to see. It is very difficult to find the correct words to adequately thank all the Brethren for the courtesies, help and guidance provided me this year. I just want to again sincerely express my gratitude to all of the members of this Fraternity - the Fraternity for Life. Thank you, Brethren. Respectfully submitted, ROBERT D. JENKINS, Grand Moster

REPORT OF THE NECROLOGY COMMITrEE To the Grand Lodge AR & AM. ofMissouri: "Who have gone this way before" us?

It is a sad duty but also an agreeable custom as well as law of the Grand Lodge, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, of Missouri that "prop. er memorials of deceased brethren" should be prepared. Not only do we acknowledge their lives, public service, and fraternal leadership: but we also give thanks to the Great Architect of the universe that He has raised up such Craftsmen to be our Brethren and friends. In His infinite wisdom, strength and beauty, the Supreme Grand Master has used such workmen to build His Temple. In that especial funeral service which is one of Missouri Masonry's unique gifts to the Masonic world, Most Worshipful Brother Thomas E. Garrett wrote these lines to speak of a departed Brother:

"We knew him so well in our Brotherhood, feel that in his de路 parture from among the living something has gone out of our own lives that can never be again."

1989

GRAND LODGE OF MISSOURI

How many times this would have been uttered in the year that is past! Our Grand Secretary tells us that in the reports submitted by the constituent lodges to the Grand Lodge, 2,385 have laid down the working tools of this mortal existence to be translated to the Grand Lodge on high. In that number were those who served the Grand Lodge in varied capacities, and a host of others whose lives nourished Freemasonry at her grass roots, the local Blue Lodges. Freemasonry is the richer for their lives and labors, diminished in their loss. We do not shake off the sorrow quickly. The poet was right: It singeth low in every heart, We hear it, each and all, A song of those who answer not, However we may call. They throng the silence of the breast, We see them as of yore, The kind, the true, the brave, the sweet, Who walk with us no more. The beautiful system of morals which constitutes Freemasonry is indeed veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols. As it teaches how to live - and how to die - it makes use of the noble metaphors oflife. There is the "way;" life is seen as "a rough and rugged road"; there are steps which lead to human knowledge and happiness. But Freemasonry also teaches us that life is a struggle, a rising as well as a raising, a climbing to better things. The vivid picture of Jacob's ladder, extending from earth to heaven, enabling us to climb by faith, hope and charity, portrays how life should go and grow. The map for this lifelong ascent is written first in our hearts, then in our spirits, and then indelibly and eternally in our actions toward our loved ones, our neighbors, and our brethren. We cannot see where such Masonic devotion leads, but we are assured that it "extends beyond the grave, through boundless realms of eternity." Take courage then. Brethren. There are those who "have gone this way before us." As we have tender memories of our loved and lost companions, so we must pledge ourselves to be faithful to the ties of our Brotherhood, and true to the practice of the principles of Freemasonry. Some of that host of departed Brethren had been asked to serve your Grand Lodge and you in special capacities. They were: R.W. Bro. W. Tribbey Nickerson, a Chaplain of the Grand Lodge, passed away October 5, 1988, at the age of 66. At the time of his death, he was pastor of First United Methodist Church, North Kansas City, where a building memorial to him is in progreBB. He had served forty years in the ministry. Active in many Masonic-related bodies, chaplain of Ararat Shrine and also of the North Kansas City Police Department, he was known for his ability to relate to lay people and for the beauty of his public and private prayers. R.W. Bro. O. Wesley Konering, a former Grand Lodge Tiler (1984-85) and 1967 District Deputy Grand Master of the 33rd District, Division A,

PROCEEDINGS OF THE

also served the Grand Lodge as a member of the Committee on Masonic Education and the Committee on Youth. In the latter connection, he was particularly active in work with DeMolay and the Order of Rainbow for Girls, receiving honors and statewide recognition from both. He was a member of almost every Masonic body, being an officer in most of them as well as a Past Master of Mt. Moriah Lodge No. 40. One of his great loves was seamanship, and he was a member of numerous naval organizations and an officer of the Moolah Yacht Club. He died October 9, 1988. R.W. Bro. Alfred E. Spencer, a Past Master of Wellston Lodge No. 613, had served the Grand Lodge in an honorary appointment as Grand Tiler, 1973-74, but his finest service extended over many years of Masonic research and assistance to Grand Masters. In addition, he was recognized throughout the length and breadth of American Freemasonry for his knowledge of the Craft. As M.W. Bro. Vern H. Schneider said in presenting R.W. Bro. Spencer with the Grand Master's Service Award: "He has gone far beyond the normal bounds to help so many people, particularly these Past Grand Masters.... and Grand Lodge Officers. He has given us the benefit for these many years of his richest service in the field of Masonic history, symbolism.... He is truly a fountain of Masonic Knowledge." He departed this life September 22, 1988. R.W. Bro. Forrest Everett had been a Master Mason for 27 years when he passed away August 7, 1989.

Our Heavenly Father, in the solemn stillness of this hour, we raise our hearts unto Thee and acknowledge Thee as the Sovereign Lord of life and death.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE

1989

MASONIC HOME OF MISSOURI NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 1989 AND 1988 1. Organization and summary of significant accounting policies:

Description of funds: Current fund: Unrestricted - general: General Fund unrestricted income includes all income from residents of the Masonic Home of Missouri' ("the Home"), dividends and interest from the reserve and endowment funds, per capita taxes from the Grand Lodge and Grand Chapter Order of the Eastern Star and other general fund contributions. This income is used to fund the operations of the Home. Unrestricted - reserve: Unrestricted revenue fund income includes undesignated gifts and bequests and Grand Lodge initiation fees which, according to Board policy, are transferable to the general fund and expendable for operations only upon approval of the Board of Directors. Dividend and interest income from reserve fund investments is transferred to the general fund except for funds to pay agency management fees. Realized gains and losses from reserve fund security transactions are recorded in the Reserve Fund. Endowments: Certain gifts and bequests to the Home are in the form of en-dowments which contain legal restrictions as to the use of such funds. Generally, the restrictions provide that the income from the investment of the gifts and bequests be available for operations of the general fund while the principal amounts are to remain invested and are not available for current operations. &cordingly, interest and dividend income from the investment of endowment funds is recorded as transfers to the general fund except for funds to pay agen~y management fees. Realized gains and losses from endowment fund security transactions are recognized in the Endowment Funds. Building fund: Contributions for the improvement of buildings and grounds and future construction and the related expenses have been recorded in the Building Fund.

1989

GRAND LODGE OF MISSOURI

Contributions for the design and construction of the Masonic Home of Missouri Western Unit have been recorded in the Building Fund. Interest income from these monies and expenditures for design and construction of the Western Unit have also been recorded in the Building Fund. Investments in marketable securities: Marketable securities donated to the Home are recorded at their fair market value as of the date the gift is received; securities purchased by the Home are recorded at cost. Interest and dividend income from these investments is recognized as income when received. Gains and losses from the sale of securities are recognized at the time of sale, and represent the difference between the proceeds received and the carrying value of the securities determined on an average basis. Property, plant and equipment: Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost or estimated cost. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, with one-half year's depreciation taken in the years of acquisition and disposal. Home family, pension income and C&A fund: Upon admission to the Home, residents are required to assign and transfer all personal assets to the Home. Nonmonetary assets transferred to the Home are sold as soon as practicable, and the proceeds are recorded at the time of sale. Monetary assets, except fully-funded insurance policies, are recorded at fair market value at the date of receipt. It is the Home's policy to not recognize the cash surrender value of fully-funded life insurance policies at the time of entrance in the Home but to recognize the proceeds upon death of the resident. Pension and social security retirement income funds available to residents are assets of the Home. The Home provides each resident a monthly allowance of $35 plus additional amounts for birthdays and holidays. The unexpended portion of these allowances ($143,597 and $136,317 at .June 30, 1989 and 1988, respectively) is held in custody by the Home in accounts segregated from Home assets. Remaining balances at the time of the death of the resident revert to the General Fund. The following is a summary of the assets and liabilities (unaudited) of the C&A fund as of June 30, 1989 and 1988:

3. Property, plant and equipment: Prior to July 1, 1987, expenditures for property, plant and equipment were expensed as incurred. During the year ended June 30, 1988, the Home retroactively capitalized these assets to comply with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 93, "Recognition of Depreciation by Not-For-Profit Organizations" ("SFAS 93"). In 1989, it was determined that accumulated depreciation recognized as of June 30, 1987 as a result of the application of SFAS 93 was overstated in the 1988 financial statements. Accordingly, the Building Fund balance as of June 30, 1987 has been increased by $136,362. A summary of the property, plant and equipment and the related accumulated depreciation follows:

4. Endowment and Gussie Grenner funds: The endowment funds consist of general endowments and two special endowments which, in accordance with the bequests, are required to be segregated. The balances of the William Knollman endowment fund at June 30, 1989 and 1988 were $1,046,820 and $1,046,245, respectively. The balances of the Jacob and Sallie Simon endowment fund at June 30, 1989 and 1988 were $1,237,514 and $1,250,214, respectively.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE

1989

Assets and the related fund balance of the Gussie Grenner fund have not been included as part of the assets and fund balance of the Home. These assets and the related fund balance are maintained by the Trustee as required by the donor's bequest. Income from the trust is paid directly to the Home. At June 30, 1989 and 1988, the fund belances (unaudited) of the Gussie Grenner fund were $824,754 and $774,707, respectively. Income accrued and paid to the Home was $54,852 and $39,229 for the years ended June 30, 1989 and 1988, respectively. 5. Pension plan: The Board of Directors of the Home voted to adopt a defined-contribution employee pension plan ("the Plan") which went into effect on July 1, 1984. The Plan benefits all non-union employees who were eligible and employed as of the effective date of the Plan or each July 1 thereafter. Employees who have completed six months of service by each July 1 are eligible to participate in the Plan. Employees who met length of service requirements as of July 1, 1984, as defined in the Plan, were eligible for contributions for past service prior to July 1, 1984. These past service costs are being funded over the five years which eommenced July 1, 1984. The plan requires the Home to make annual contributions equal to 5 percent of each eligible employee's compensation. Pension expense under the Plan was $19,256 and $26,338 for the years ended June 30, 1989 and 1988, respectively. In accordance with the union contract, all eligible union employees are covered by a union defined contribution pension plan. Pension expense under this plan was $29,016 and $29,474 for the years ended June 30, 1989 and 1988, respectively.

GRAND LODGE OF MISSOURI

President's Report of the Masonic Home "There is a tide in the affairs of men," wrote William Shakespeare long ago, "which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune; omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries." These words describe the preeminent preoccupation of the Masonic Home of Missouri Board of Directors during the past year in dealing with the rising tide of problems and challenges specifically in regard to the Eastern Unit in St. Louis... problems that did not suddenly materialize but which have been festering for decades, and challenges that have been met with all the compassion and expertise the Board could muster, always keeping foremost in mind the health and welfare of the residents. Early on, the Board realized that this was to be the year the tide was at its flood and that the very future of the Masonic Home of MiSBOUri rested precariously in the balance. This was to be a year of frustration, of agonizing, of soul searching, of difficult decisions, and - I hasten to say of the members of the Board - of courage. In all my life, I have never stood among a group of men whom I more admire and whom I delight to call "brothers". Recognizing the need for expert guidance in dealing with the mounting barrage of problems at the Eastern Unit, the Board in August 1988 retained Gerontological Services Inc. (GSI), a firm involved with analyzing health care delivery systems for the aged, to perform a management audit. Results of that audit, delivered in December 1988, were no surprise, giving expert substance to what the Board had suspected. The audit's findings, basically, can be sorted into three areas: 1) The Home is facing decreased revenues at a time when costs of providing care are increasing dramatically. One source of revenue, per capita contributions from members, is negatively impacted by a membership in MisBOuri that has declined from 124,000 in 1956, to 100,000 in 1977, to an estimated 72,000 this year. And tlte trend, by all competent estimates, is expected to continue. This played a part in a shortfall in income over expenses by some $1,012,485 in fiscal 1988. A $673,287 shortfall is anticipated for fiscal 1989. These are certainly not the first such shortfalls. For instance, there were deficits of $338,779 in 1987, $84,667 in 1986, and $968,938 in 1985. 2) The Home is facing increased costs, declining revenues and decreased dema."1d for services at a time when its need for capital improvements - exacerbated by decades of deferred maintenance - is at the greatest. The overriding question for the Masonic Home is if it can continue to be a vi~le operation and improve the quality of care it provides within the Eastern Unit in St Louis. Inherent in the question is whether or not the Masonic Home should renovate the existing outmoded facility at substantial capital outlay, relocate the facility, or discontinue providing housing facilities and long-term care services. 3) The Eastern Unit is woefully inadequate, structurally, to provide for an efficient operation. It is old, difficult to maintain, and inefficient for the

PROCEEDINGS OF THE

1989

performance of nursing functions. The structure makes it difficult to accommodate the needs of today's nursing home residents in compliance with governmental standards and expectations. In November 1987 the Home was cited by the Missouri Division of Aging with numerous deficiencies at the Eastern Unit. While the cited deficiencies were promptly corrected, the Board was still faced with many critical components of the structure that were failing: the boiler, the roof, and at least two elevators. Additionally, the unit was having difficulty attracting a skilled staff, while experiencing a high turn-over in employees. These indeed are monumental problems which not only strain the Home's financial capabilities, but directly affect the health and well-being of the residents. For example, the fire alarm system did not function properly and had to be replaced. Elevators in both the residential wing and the nursing wing routinely malfunction. Some were so old that repair parts were not available. Replacing an elevator car was estimated to cost $125,000. Building a completely new elevator shaft and unit for the residential wing would cost upwards of $700,000. The elevators in the nursing wing are now under a maintenance contract. Each floor in the residential wing has 15 rooms and only two toilets. How ~any of our brethren would be here this weekend if their hotel or motel had only two restrooms to a floor and elevators that didn't work! Sadly, I think, we have to wonder if this is a nursing home or ifit has become a warehouse for the elderly. The Eastern Unit is located in an area that suffers from socio-economic factors not unique to St. Louis. The Home property must be protected, night and day 365 days a year, by armed guards and police dogs. And the security service has had to be increased. Still, cars have been stolen from the parking lot, tires have been slashed, cars have been scratched and marred; on one occasion a rifle bullet was fired into the guard shack at the parking lot entrance. Drug use is rampant in the vicinity. It is a highcrime area. It is, my brethren, a war zone. And it is little wonder that the Home has had difficulty attracting and retaining competent staff and employees. Anticipating the path that lay ahead, the Board in January of this year voted to stop taking applications to the Eastern Unit as recommended by the GSI audit, renovated two floors of the nursing wing for residential use, and closed the residential building. After considering numerous options, fiscal matters, legal implications and primarily the welfare of the residents, the Board began exploring the feasibility of providing for the care of residents at a private facility until such time as another Eastern Unit could be made available or some other course of action implemented. Following a lengthy process involving a blue ribbon search committee composed of experienced leaders in the health care field, Harold S. "Pete" Pascal was named executive director of the Masonic Home from among almost 100 applicants, and his assistance has been invaluable as the Board wrestles with the task at hand. After careful consideration of its options, the Board entered into an agreement with Bethesda General Hospital & Homes, Inc., of St. Louis, for the transfer of our residents to a new facility under construction,

1989

GRAND LODGE OF MISSOURI 55 Bethesda-West in Ellisville, contingent upon its completion. Our residents will occupy the new facility almost in its entirety. These residents will still be under the caring eye of the Masonic Home of Missouri, while the staff will be provided by Bethesda. The Cheer Committee will still function, and all the care and attention from the fraterni ty and the Order of Eastern Star can be provided at the new facility. Bethesda, incidentally, is a highly-reputable health care firm and this year observed its centennial, having been founded on June 8, 1889. It is widely recognized for its high standards and superior quality of care. Most emphatically, it is to be stated that the Masonic Home has not ceased to function. The Eastern Unit is being temporarily relocated. Residents of the Eastern Unit will continue to be properly cared for by the Masonic Home of Missouri. Applications will be accepted on a space-available basis. The Western Unit - now almost at capacity with residents - also continues in operation. This decision sets into motion even more challenges of great consequence to the Masons of Missouri. We have a two-year contract with Bethesda, and therefore the Masonic Home must determine the best means of providing long-term care for needy and indigent Master Masons, their wives and widows, and for needy and indigent members of the Order of Eastern Star. While we have a responsibility for the current residents of the Home, the Board of Directors also has an obligation to residents 20 years and more in the future. I have therefore named a planning committee within the Board of Directors of the Masonic Home of Missouri to chart a course that can be proposed to the Masons of Missouri, that we may faithfully acquit those responsibilities set forth in our by-laws and to which we, as Master Masons, have promised and sworn. The committee will have the prerogative to enlist the assistance of experienced people in the health care industry during its deliberations. Brethren, more than ever before, the Masonic Home of Missouri needs your understanding and your support, your involvement and your prayers. A century from now - when Missouri Masons of a new age celebrate the 200th anniversary of the Masonic Home - let it be said that the Masons of our time took the tide of challenge at its flood and led the Masonic Home on to fortune. Failure to meet the challenge now is to condemn those who depend on us to a lifetime "bound in shallows and in miseries".

CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION The Masonic Home of Missouri observed its Centennial with special celebration ceremonies at both the Eastern and Western units on Sunday, June 25.... appropriately marking 100 years of caring for the needy and indigent by the Masons of Missouri. The occasion was highlighted by presentation of the "Take Time to Care" award to four deserving individuals and organizations who have emulated Masonry's dedication to caring for the elderly. Lt. Gov. Mel Carnahan was guest speaker at the Eastern Unit, and Grand Master Robert Jenkins was guest speaker at the Western Unit. The official slogan for the celebration, appropriately, was "Take Time to Care - We Have for 100 Years". It is with enthusiasm and a renewed dedi-

1989 PROCEEDINGS OF THE 56 cation that the Masonic Home of Missouri begins its second century of caring for needy and indigent Master Masons, their wives and widows, and needy and indigent members of the Order of Eastern Star. A special word of appreciation is extended to the Centennial Committee and to its chairman, Bro. Paul 'Ibbias, who were instrumental in making the celebration a success.

ORDER OF EASTERN STAR The Masons of Missouri are extremely grateful to the Grand Chapter of the Order of Eastern Star and its Home Advisory Boord for their continuing financial and moral support of the Masonic Home. They are a significant part of the Home's ability to deliver care and caring to our residents, and their many projects enhance the quality of life at the Home. Without their assistance, our goals indeed would be difficult to attain. The Adviso.ry Board, especially, is involved with the day-to-day concerns of providing quality of life for all our residents.

MISCELLANEA The efforts of our Coordinator of Fraternal Relations, M.W. Fielding A. Poe, P.G.M., have figured markedly in gaining bequests to the Masonic Home and in our various appeals for donations. Additionally, Bro. Poe assisted in the Centennial Celebration planning, and maintains close ties with the constituent lodges. His programs spread the Masonic Home's message across the state, and he is an integral part of our overall commitment to maintain a Home for the needy. Last year's greeting card program, directed by Bro. Poe, realized $83,840 for the Home. Words of appreciation also go to Bro. Paul 'Ibbias, controller, to Bro. Steve Givens, secretary to the Board, to M.W. Bro. Vern Schneider, legal counsel, and to Bro. Richard Jacobs, financial advisor, who have given of their time and talents above and beyond the expectations of the Board. Their involvement and counsel has been essential to the Home's efforts. With changes at the Eastern Unit's residential wing, the Western Unit is now near its census capability, and enjoys the competent administration of Mrs. Susan Brown. Her efforts continue to make the unit a pleasing and quality home for residents. Efforts are currently underway, with leadership of the OES Advisory Board, to provide the Western Unit with an elevator... a much-needed convenience. We urge support of this vital project. We also want to express appreciation to all who have assisted with their donations and gifts. It is their generosity that enables the Masonic Fraternity to fulfill its charitable aspirations.

PROPOSED BY路LAW CHANGES Consistent with recommendations contained in the GSI report and upon careful consideration by the Board, several changes in the Articles of Incorporation and the By-Laws are being proposed to this Grand Lodge for its approval. Proposed changes in these constitutional documents are

57 GRAND LODGE OF MISSOURI being recommended so the Board might be better enabled to administer the affairs of the Home in light of rapidly changing conditions in the health care industry. 1989

Grand Lodge, A.R and A.M of Missouri:

BRETHREN:

The Committee on the Grand Master's address submits the following report. The Committee recommends that the Grand Master's decisions, dispensations, consents or permissions, and healings be referred to the Jurisprudence Committee for that Committee's appropriate action and report. M.W. Brother Jenkins has made excellent recommendations for the future of this fraternity. It is our recommendation that they be referred to the appropriate Grand Lodge Committees for their considemtion and action. The Grand Lodge has benefitted by the service of a very dedicated Mason and Grand Master. His programs for the Area Meetings; his continued coopemtion with Missouri's Masonic Family; his encouragement of more community service through the Masonic Service Month; and his support of long-range planning deserve our highest commendation. Such programs, and our Grand Master's sincere efforts and support, can only result in a stronger and improved fraternity. Most Worshipful Brother Jenkins and his wife, Betty, deserve our special thank you for their representation of the Grand Lodge of Missouri in their many travels and our best wishes for the future. It will be the honor of the Past Grand Masters to welcome you, Most Worshipful, to our ranks. Fraternally submitted, THOMAS K. McGUIRE, JR., BRUCE H. HUNT JAMES A. NOLAND, JR. FIELDING A. PoE

Remarks of the Right Eminent Grand Generalissimo of the Grand Encampment of Knights Templar of the United States of America - Blair C. Mayford PRESENTATION OF PROPOSALS OF AMENDMENTS OF GRAND LODGE BY-LAWS AND RESOLUTIONS FOR ACTION ON THE SECOND DAY OF THE 168TH ANNUAL COMMUNICATION By Grand Secretary 'Thrry C. Alexander These proposals came under Section 35.010 of the By-Laws. They were read on Monday and referred to the Jurisprudence Committee to be read on 'fuesday and required a two-thirds vote by the Grand Lodge for adoption. (These proposals and the decisions of the Grand Lodge are found in the Jurisprudence Report.) REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON MASONIC EDUCATION Th The Grand Lodge, AR & AM. ofMissouri: BRETHREN,

The activities of the Committee on Masonic Education for the year 1989-90, have followed successfully the achievements of the Grand Lodge Program on Masonic Education over the past decade and a half of service to our constituent lodges throughout this jurisdiction. Specifically, however, we have concentrated our efforts in three major areas, to wit, Leadership Training, Officer Development and Marketing Development. The following information reflects the specifics as described above. The first m~or area of intensified effort has been in Leadership Training. Here, in the Committee's opinion, we have provided both our greatest service and received our greatest benefit through the District Education Officers Conference. This conference, to become an annual function of your Grand Lodge, is the "Brain Child" of Committee Member Dick Nelms. W.B. Nelms, whose professional background is in Human Resources, has been and ia an invaluable member and contributor to this committee. This facet of our program, however, like all others is a "community" project! All members participated and contributed to this most

1989

GRAND LOOOE OF MISSOURI

successful of endeavors. It was and ia successful because of several things. First it is the appropriate setting to highlight the video presentation of the committee - "1'.bA Working 1bWa mLeaderabip". Second, it is the vehicle to train one of the most important parts of our Masonic Education 'Tham - the DEO! Third, it in a IUl sense, provides training to the district level officer for the first time in this mode. The Committee on Masonic Education salutes you, the voting members of Grand Lodge, for supporting the development, creation and adoption of the DEO program. We thank also, MW Brother Robert D. Jenkins who gave not only "the green light" to the project, but more importantly, gave it its soul, its spirit through his personal style of leadership. The second area of major effort is officer development. It is here that the second part of our "triad" of programs - "~ Working ~ LeaderahiR" - has come to the fore. W.B. Tom McCully, together with the Ad Hoc group that works with him, has done an outstanding (and thankless) task in the development of year Three and Four of this living (and hence changing) program. Year Three covered planning for progress, communication and leadership styles. Year four will cover the sensitive areas of "The Next Man" and the Lodge and the Community. 1bm McCully et a1 have the respect and admiration of this committee and it's chairman (and indeed Bl1 of us) for a first rate presentation of such needed subject matr ter. It almost goes without saying that we also salute Wl DEO's for not only carrying the ball to the LEO's in their districts, but also for going above and beyond the call of duty as "technical difficulties" reared their ugly heads! Thanks Brethren-you showed the meaning of team work! The third area of the triad - Lodge Education Officer Program and the Lodge Officer Manual are both in the capable hands of Dick Nelms. These two progr&msliterally work hand in hand with each other and, more importantly, with each of us as individual Masons. The LEO, in concert Eili and throue-b the DEO will (without question) be "the Bread and Butter" of Masonic Education in Missouri. The glue that holds this all together is, of course, the Grand Lodge Achievement Award. R.W. Brother Dick Smith, Committee Secretary and Director of the Program continually brings in marketing techniques from his professional background (Sales) to personalize and intensify the Pr0gram. There is no reason why (at the Banquet) we should not have 500 plus lodges recognized as ''Honor Lodges". As a result of Dick's Leadership, your Committee and its Chairman kwm we're going to make it! Brethren in this, as in all things, the decision is yours! Our booth at Grand Lodge has two essential ingredients to your Lodge's success-Zel Eaton and Scott Granthem. Make every effort to visit (not only these capable interesting and dedicated Masons), but the excitr ing and WIdiIl information we have to offer. Try it - you1110ve it!! The Freemason magazine is, as you know, one of the Committee's "legal" responsibilities. How sweet that responsibility is. Our editor, M.W. Brother J.C. Montgomery, Jr., is without a doubt, a man needed and Mason without parallel or peer. Given the myriad of tasks attendant with his important duty (together with his magnificent return to good health) the Committee and its Chairman run out of superlatives, but for this one -

REPORT OF THE JURISPRUDENCE COMMI1TEE To the Grand Lodge Ali: & AM. ofMissouri: BRETHREN:

Your Committee on Jurisprudence respectfully reports as follows: (Monday, September 25, 1989) Dispensations: We have examined the dispensations issued by order of the Grand Master as set forth in the report of the Grand Secretary and we approve the same as within the discretion of the Grand Master. Consents and Permissions: We have examined the consents and permissions pertaining to the activities and operations of subordinate lodges granted by the Grand Master as set forth in the Report of the Grand Secretary and we approve the same as within the discretion of the Grand Master. Decisions: Having received a request to rule on property of FlorIda Lodge No. 23 after they consolidated with Lick Creek Lodge No. 302, I advised Lick Creek Lodge to prepare a Quit Claim Deed from the Grand Lodge to Lick Creek Lodge, which would release all claim of the Grand Lodge on such property. Said deed was then approved. The Jurisprudence Committee approves this Decision. Ruled that a solicitation notice as outlined by Hope Lodge No. 251 violated Section 25.090 of our Constitution and By-Laws, even though the project seemed to be very worthwhile. Questioned about the transfer of a non-proficient Entered Apprentice from Breckenridge Lodge No. 334 to Alpha Lodge No. 657. Found that Section 20.080 of the Constitution and By-Laws prevailed and that a certificate of good standing could be issued if the Brother was no longer a resident of the original jurisdiction. The Jurisprudence Committee approves these Decisions. M.W. Brother Walker moved that this portion of the Committee's Re-

1989

port be approved and printed in the PROCEEDINGS. The motion was seconded and by vote of the Grand Lodge this portion of the Report was APPROVED.

The Grand Lodge, promptly as collected, pays two dollars and fifty cents ($2.50) for each Master Mason to the Masonic Home of Missouri."

(Amended 1977-75) The Second Section of the Third Degree constitutes a most solemn and impressive portion of our ritualistic work. In it we are taught the ultimate lessons of Masonic philosophy - victory over death and the immortality of

1989

the soul. Nothing must be allowed to impair the deep impression which should be made upon the mind of the candidate. The Grand Lodge forbids any levity, roughness, horseplay, talking, audible laughter, or any other noise which could distract the attention of the candidate. Failure to comply with this resolution, or any action by any officer or member in violation or inconsistent with this resolution, shall constitute grounds for Masonic discipline. (Res. 1976-146) M.W.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE

1989

REPORT OF THE CHARTERED LODGES COMMITTEE To the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge AR & AM ofMissouri: Most Worshipful Grand Master, your committee on Chartered Lodges met in the office of the Grand Secretary on August 24, 1989 and wishes to submit the following report after careful consideration of the 473 annual returns which were in the office at that time. Right Worshipful Brother Wilfred G. Soutiea, Jr., a m~mber of the committee, had to be out of the country on this date. Brother Elmer D. Copeland, Worshipful Master Elect of Freedom Lodge No. 636, was called on at the very last minute to fill this vacancy, which he performed with utmost efficiency. The chairman of this committee is most grateful for his assistance. ~ RETURNS: Once again, the Grand Secretary is waiting for delinquent -returns. The Amendment to Section 10.050 of our by-laws, which took place in 1987, has had some good results. We now have only about 50% as many lodges who cannot get their returns in on time. The twenty-three delinquent lodges were: 100, 127, 135, 143, 204, 205, 239, 262, 284, 311, 356, 358, 396, 398, 411, 430, 433, 485, 491, 533, 590, 593, and 638. ~ LODGES' No new lodges have been formed since the Report on Chartered Lodges was filed last year. CONSOLIDATIONS: Seven lodges have consolidated since the report last year. They are: Helena Lodge .117 at Helena, Missouri, consolidated with Union Star Lodge '124, Union Star, Missouri, on October 3, 1988; Senath Lodge .513 at Senath, Missouri, consolidated with Hornersville Lodge .215 at Hornersville, Missouri on January 2, 1989; Lock Springs Lodge .488 at Lock Springs, Missouri, consolidated with Jamesport Lodge .564 at Jamesport, Missouri on January 2, 1989; Cunningham Lodge 1525 at Sumner, Missouri, consolidated with Mendon Lodge .628 at Mendon, Missouri on February 14, 1989; Craig Lodge #606 at Craig, Missouri, consolidated with Mound City Lodge .294 at Mound City, Missouri on February 28,1989; Moniteau Lodge .295 at Jamestown, Missouri, consolidated with California Lodge .183 at California, Missouri on June 13, 1989; Pilot Knob Lodge 1182 at Richville, Missouri, consolidated with Ingomar Lodge .536 at Willow Springs, Missouri on May 9, 1989. MEMBERSHIP: The 473 lodges reported a membership of 71,181 Master Masons. Seventy-three lodges showed a net increase of 376 in membership. Three hundred sixty-five lodges showed a net loss of 2695 members. Thirty five lodges did not indicate either a gain or loss in membership during the past year. The pathway from the lodge room to the grave yard is well traveled. During the past year 2016 of our brethren have left us to dwell in the Grand Lodge on high. Qur membership in the lodges is getting older. The 473 lodges report 3713 "50 Year Members". SUSPENSIONS: S.N.P.D.: Three hundred fifty two lodges suspended 1801 members for non-payment of dues. Four hundred seventy four Dis-

1989

GRAND LODGE OF MISSOURI

trict Deputy Grand Master reports indicated there were 187 lodges that did not have a "Delinquent Dues Committee". The committee strongly recommends that the District Deputy Grand Masters discuss this suspension problem with the lodges. This is one area where a concentrated effort should be put by every lodge in order to curb as many suspensions as possible. ~ The 473 lodges report an average dues of $22.48. The smallest amount of dues collected is still $7.50 and the highest is still $60.00. The 474 District Deputy Grand Master reports show that 118 lodges had ex- . penses in excess of their income. Some of these higher costs could be brought about by temple repairs, etc. There were 28 lodges which did not report income or expenses. Two additional lodges did not report their income, and twenty additional lodges did not repor.t their expenses. fEESi All the lodges are conforming to Section 10.010 of Grand Lodge By-Laws by collecting the specified amount of $45.00 and over. ATTENDANCE: Four hundred sixty three lodges report an average attendance of 14.5, one hundred seventy one lodges report 10 or less in attendance. One hundred three lodges report 20 or over in attendance. BY-LAWS; One of the most important items in a lodge is the 1977 edition of The Grand Lodge Constitution and By-Laws with the current upto-date cumulative annual pocket part. The District Deputy Grand Master reports indicated there were 9 lodges which were not in possession of such. Twenty four lodges reported not having a working set of By-Laws for the lodge. Last year the committee recommended that a file be set up in the office of the Grand Secretary and that each lodge furnish a copy of its by-laws to be kept on file. These could be reviewed and if there were any inconsistencies with Grand Lodge Law, they could be amended. During the past year there has been an occasion for the by-laws of a temple ass0ciation to be reviewed. This may be something that should be filed in the office of the Grand Secretary. Each temple association has a copy on file. Any amendments to any of these by-laws would have to be approved, and filed in this file. In case any lodge or temple association by-laws should be destroyed, there would be a copy on file for reference and a sample to construct a new set. ERRORS QN ANNUAL REPORTS: This is a problem that plagues the Grand Secretary and his staff to no end. Rt. Wor. Bro. Alexander, our Grand Secretary, sends complete instructions along with the forms for the Annual Report. The instructions are very simple to follow, and if the secretaries would just take the time, many errors could be eliminated. Many reports have to be sent back to the lodge secretary for corrections to be made. This causes much delay in processing the reports in the office as well as it is an added expense. PleaSe be more careful in the future. SUMMARY: It is regrettable that the report of the Committee on Chartered Lodges cannot be more good news. We, as members of the fraternity, are aware of the many problems that confront us in our lodges. Freemasonry has not changed in the last 200 years, it is we the members who have changed and drifted away from the standards and teachings of our beloved fraternity. The only one factor we cannot govern is the passing of our brethren to the celestial lodge above. There are 80 many things that

96 PROCEEDINGS OF THE 1989 we can do as individuals and enjoy the brotherhood of Freemasonry as it should be. As you路read this report, resolve that you are going to do all in your power to help correct some of our problems and once again our fraternity willshine as a beacon light to the world. Most Worshipful Grand Master, your committee appreciates the opportunity of serving you and this Grand Lodge. We also want to extend sincere thanks to Rt. Wor. Bro. Terry C. Alexander, our moat competent Grand Secretary. He is doing an excellent job as Grand Secretary. We also want to thank the fine office staff that work in that office. Those ladies are most efficient, and their assistance to this committee is appreciated so very much. All of this together makes the duties of this committee most pleasant.

1989 GRAND LODGE OF MISSOURI 99 ic education during the last ten years was contacted by letter. They were told of the charitable work of Freemasonry and invited to complete their education. They were asked to return an enclosed response to the Grand Secretary's office. Grand Lodge records contained approximately 4,500 Entered Apprentices and Fellow Crafts over the past ten years that had not advanced. A list of names was sent to lodge secretaries in order to obtain current addresses. Not all lodges responded, but eventually approximately 2,500 letters were mailed. . Two weeks after the initial mailing, 47 were returned because of incorrect addresses, 64 positive responses and 24 negative responses were received. The comments received were mostly apologetic from those wishing to continue. Most expressed an eager anticipation to renew their Masonic education. One positive response came from Brother Phillip D. Johnson of Pacific, Missouri. He stated, "My problem is working night shift and having a person to study with." Brother Stephen C. Yocom of Pleasant Hope, Missouri, stated, "My occupation is such that I am gone from home a great deal of the time. It would be possible for me to meet with a coach a night or two and then it may be two months before I can get back. I am not good on rote memory." Brother Arlie E. Watson of Fordland, Missouri responded, "Having to study (memorize) material is my reason for not continuing. I was befriended by a Mason in 1.blsa, Oklahoma. I wanted to become a Mason to repay or befriend someone else is my reason for wanting to belong to this fine organization. I will be 69 years old next month and my memory does not allow me to memorize" and remember as is necessary to complete the required Masonic education!!!" Brother Daniel S. Gallion of High Ridge, Mo. wrote, ''When inquiring about where I might receive teaching, I didn't get a lot of cooperation." Many of the negative responses indicated other activities were more important at this time but that they would consider continuing their Masonic education in the future. Brother Marion J. Kellogg of Webb City, Missouri wrote, "My church does not allow its members to be Masons. So, I do not wish to continue." Brother Stephen Hensly of Seymour, Missouri states, "My work schedule does not allow me to attend meetings. Thanks for your concern." Brother Halsey Tichenor of St. Charles, Missouri responded, "The ritual was not to my liking. The "Brothers" were most unhelpful." Brother Clifford Dillon of Warrenton, Missouri stated, "I wanted to be involved in an organization that was active in the preservation of a strong separation of church and state. I was told that the Masonic Order is not active in that direction." Brother Gene B. Bierschwal of Cape Girardeau, Mo. wrote, "I think you have an outstanding organization. I was very disappointed in the attendance at the meetings; sometimes barely enough to meet. Everyone seemed to go through the steps required and then pay their dues and attend occasional meetings. For me there is more to life than just giving sums of money to disasters. Fellowship is also very important and I don't

100 PROCEEDINGS OF THE 1989 see that in the Masonic organization. I do not see how the Masonic organization can survive if the present attendance trend continues 'and programs instituted that cause people to want to attend." ' I believe the general condition of Freemasonry may be discerned from these responses. First, I see a problem with the decline of Fellowship in our Lodges. Many lodges that I have attended have members eagerly awaiting for an opportune time to leave. The meetings are very boring with little to interest the members except the opening and closing ritual. Where is the fellowship? In order to develop fellowship, the Grand Master of Mississippi has encouraged the lodges of his jurisdiction to become involved in community affairs. He has stated that the sponsorship of a Boy Scout Troop is a laudable project and has promoted this type of project in numerous speeches before Masonic organization. "Building a Scout hut on lodge property reveals to the community the interest and dedication of the fraternity." Projects such as this would develop the fellowship that many members are seeking. In a June 14, 1989 publication for the Grand Lodge of England it is written, "Once a candidate becomes a Mason we want to keep him, so he must be encouraged. This applies to candidates of any age, but particularly to the young, who may be distracted by work or families and find it difficult to give enough time to their lodge. If they can see a clear path to office and eventually the chair (if they want it), and a learning curve which is not too dauntingly steep, then they are more likely to become enthusiastic Masons and to contribute to their lodge and to the Craft generally." From the above statement one may assume that the Grand Lodge of England believes that stringent requirement to memorize the ritual would be a steep learning curve. Many use the excuse for not completing the Degrees or becoming inactive on the requirements to memorize the ritual. It is no doubt the Ritual is an important element which contributes to the condition of this Fraternity. Religion i. certainly a factor which affects the condition of Freemasonry. The Grand Lodge of Western Australia has sought to counter the negative attacks in the press, radio and television, with a pamphlet entitled "Freemasonry and Religion". This subject was a part of the address of the Grand Master of Western Australia. FREEMASONRY AND RELIGION "As members of Grand Lodge are aware we have again experienced in

recent time, criticism of our Craft by some religious leaders who have alleged that Freemasonry and the Christian faith are incompatible. I was grateful that the opportunity was afforded to me to attempt to rebut these allegations in the press and on radio. These continued attacks on our craft demonstrate the need for every Freemason to clearly recognize and as opportunity arises, to make clear to others that Freemasonry is neither a religion nor a substitute for religion. Every member should have in his possession a copy of the pamphlet "Freemasonry and Religion" which was commissioned by my predecessor M.W. Bro. GA. Shea and copies which are available from the Grand Sec-

1989 GRAND LODGE OF MISSOURI 101 retary's office. I commend to you all, the following extracts from that publication: "Freemasonry exhorts its members to worship their creator in the proper place, namely the church or temple of their own particular faith. Those Freemasons who excuse their own shortcomings with respect to the neglect of their own church or place of worship by claiming they have no need of them because they attend their lodge are doing a grievous amount of harm to the Institution they profess to support." I appeal to all my brethren to do all they can to ensure that their words and actions do not give cause for legitimate complaint by religious leaders. On the positive side I have been encouraged by the support given by brethren to Services of Thanksgiving organized both by this Grand Lodge and by local lodges. I commend the suggestion that all lodges consider in association with their local clergy organizing an annual service and would be pleased to attend such services whenever possible. This is one practical way in which we can build good will between the Church and Freemasonry. Should any of our members or their families wish to discuss with me the relationship of Freemasonry and Religion, this can be arranged by contacting the Grand Secretary." Many of the religious objectives to our Fraternity have centered around the penalties contained in the obligations of the Degrees. The Grand Lodge of Nova Scotia proposed to remove the ancient penalties. ''Explanatory Note: To remove and replace the ancient penalties in the obligation and adjust other portions of the ritual to agree. The motion was seconded by Br. R.H. Finnie. Bro. MacLellan moved an amendment to his main motion as follows: "That after 'so help me God and make me steadfast to keep and perform the same the W.M. Says, "In former times the ancient and traditional penalty was that of having the t~-a- etc. (in the first degree, or the I-b-tetc. in the second degree, or the b-s-i-t-etc. in the third degree) should the Brother ever violate the obligation which you have just taken.' "The W.M. then says, 'In testimony of your sincerity....' and continues." Paragraphs 6 and 7 remain, then add paragraph 8: "That on page 61, lecture EA. referring to the obligation and lecturer says, 'that binding myself under no less a penalty than that of being branded as a willfully perjured individual.''' The motion to amend was seconded by Bro. J. Moody. Several of the brethren present spoke on the main motion and the amendment which was considered in conjunction with Notice of Motion No. IX. The motion to amend was defeated. On a call for the question by the Grand Master the main motion was defeated." The question continually is asked by members and non-members alike - "What is Freemasonry?" The Grand Master of Saskatchewan in his address sought to define Freemasonry.

102 PROCEEDINGS OF THE 1989 "As we enter the next decade in a changing world, I think it is fundamental that Freemasons everywhere have a sound appreciation of the principles of Freemasonry. Let it be said that Freemasonry is a society of men concerned with moral and spiritual values, that its members are taught its precepts by a series of ritual dramas which follow ancient forms and use Stone Masons' customs and tools as allegorical guides. Let us be very clear in pointing out that Freemasonry is not a religion, nor is it a substitute for religion. Its essential qualifications open it to men of many religions and it expects them to continue to follow their own faith. It does not allow religion to be discussed at its meetings and that the essential qualification for admission and continual is the belief in a Supreme Being, and membership is open to men of any race or religion who can fulfill these essential qualifications and are of good repute.

TIlE THREE GREAT PRINCIPLES I think the world at large should know that from time immemorial Masons have followed three great principles: Brotherly Love - Every true Mason will show tolerance and respect 'for the opinions of others and behave with kindness and understanding to his fellow creatures. Relief - Freemasons are taught to practice Charity and to care, not only for their own but for the community as a whole, both by charitable giving and voluntary works and works as individuals. Truth - Masons strive for truth, requiring high moral standards and aiming to achieve them in their own life, charities from time immemorial, Freemasonry has always extended a helping hand to care for orphans, the sick and the aged, and this work continues today. SECRECY

Let us be clear and concise in explaining the secrets of Freemasonry. Let us explain with clarity that the secrets of Freemasonry are concerned with its traditional modes of recognition, that it is not a secret society. Since all members are free to acknowledge their membership and will do so in response to inquiries, that its constitution and rules are available to the public and there is no secret about its aims and principles. CONCLUSION 'Ib the Masons of this jurisdiction I extend a warm and grateful thank you for allowing me to serve in the capacity of Grand Master. Ours is a gentle craft. Its principles and good deeds have been a force for good throughout the free world, and it will meet the challenges of the next decade and the 21st century if we are seen carrying out its principles and precepts in the respective communities in which we live. Some years ago I was Intrigued by the words inscribed on the cornerstone--on the Masonic 'Thmple in 'Regina. The words are: "Who dreams shall live." I thought it would be interesting to research and try to find where the

1989 GRAND LOOOE OF MISSOURI 103 words came from and one day, quite accidentally, I came upon the poem written by Da.~a Burnet. The poem exemplifies a Masonic dream."

The Grand Lodge of Ireland has circulated and reviewed replies from the following resolution:

RESOLUTION OF THE METROPOLITAN BOARD In December, 1987 Grand Lodge approves a Resolution coming forward from the Metropolitan Board of General Purposes and recommended by the Grand Lodge Board of General Purposes, that the Grand Lodge: 1. take steps to reach out to the community and shed the Order's label of "secret", "Sectarian" and "inward looking"; 2. review the mechanics of recruitment, taking a more practical approach, but without compromising suitability; 3. develop a more participative style aimed at the involvement of more younger Brethren with a view to their being placed, if suitable, into some of the leadership positions; 4. review some aspects of ritual with a view to fostering a wider appeal, and dispelling fears, but without abandoning any of the fundamental principles of Freemasonry; 5. encourage development of the social and cultural side of the Order to include families and invited non-members; should maintain an on-going review and debate at each December 6. Grand Lodge Meeting. The Grand Master directed that the Resolution be circulated to the Provinces for their consideration and comments, an analysis of which would be submitted to Grand Lodge at a later date. The following analysis was presented by the Grand Secretary at the December 1, 1988, Communication of Grand Lodge. Seventeen replies were received, two of which were in vague and general terms so that no analysis of the response could be determined. Of the fifteen more detailed responses, the following summarizes the situation: For Section 1, 13 for, 2 against For Section 2, 12 for, 3 against For Section 3, 13 for, 2 against For Section 4,5 for, 10 against For Section 5, 13 for, 2 against. In other words, there is overwhelming support for Items 1, 2, 3, and 5, whereas Item 4 concerning the ritual has a substantial m~ority in favor of little or no change. It may be added that this would also be the view of the Grand Lodge of Instruction. It may be pointed out that, in fact, many of the ideas incorporated in this Resolution are being, or have already been, implemented. In the case of Section I, the recently inaugurated Grand Master's Festival is a m~or response towards fulfilling this aspiration. Other initiatives in this direction have been the Museum Exhibition in Freemasons' Hall which was opened to the public for the months of June, July, August and September 1988, and which it is intended to open to the public again next year.

104 PROCEEDINGS OF THE 1989 There has also been a recent revision of pamphlets for "Candidates" and "Master Masons" which should help to dispel the secrecy myth. In connection with Item 2, several of the respondents indicated that this suggestion had already been adopted and here again, the pamphlet for Candidates is available for issue to suitable persons.路It may be of interest to note that the Grand Secretary has been asked to read a paper at the International Masonic Conference in conjunction with the Centenary of the Grand Lodge of Victoria in Melbourne in March 1989, the title being "The Encouragement of Suitable Men to become Members of the Craft". Concerning Section 3, it is felt that the Grand Master's decision to restrict the tenure of Office of Provincial Grand Masters to ten years and the subsequent Grand Lodge decision to do the same in respect of Grand Representatives; along with a Resolution coming forward from the Grand Lodge Board of General Purposes, to the same effect, for all Offices and appointments to Committees etc. in the Craft, must inevitably involve more younger Brethren in leadership positions in the near future. In connection with Section 4, it is unlikely that acceptance would be forthcoming for any major changes in our ritual. In connection with Section 5, it is felt that here again, the Grand Master's Festival goes a long way toward meeting the aspirations in this case and also the initiatives of various Lodges in inviting ladies and even nonMasonic friends to Installation Dinners instead of holding same in the more traditional way. Grand Lodge Law No. 34 was specifically amended in order to cater for such circumstances, to allow for all the usual toasts to be proposed and responded to, though no salutes being given were ladies and non-Masons are present; and no regalia being worn if the Festive Board is being held in public facilities such as hotels, etc.

The Grand Lodge of Louisiana has clarified the "Ancient Landmark'" on which their jurisdiction is established. RESOLUTION NO. 1989-2 WHEREAS, A Landmark is a custom or rule of action that has existed from time whereof the memory of man runneth not to the contrary. It's antiquity is its essential element. Some Grand Lodges and Masonic researchers have used 200 years as a required length of time to be classified as a landmark.

WHEREAS, The Landmarks of Freemasonry are unrepealable. The Grand Lodge does not have the authority to enact a Landmark; neither would it have the prerogative to abolish one. WHEREAS, The Landmarks of Masonry are the Lighthouses that have guided the thoughts, actions, and unity of purpose in the Masonic Fraternity from time immemorial. They have been guidelines that helped develop the Masonic philosophy and objectives. They have been a source of knowledge, wisdom, and strength. They have served as a bonding material to bind Lodges and Grand Lodges together in common purpose and in fraterna.llove. WHEREAS, The Landmarks have preserved the uniformity of character and design which constitutes the universality of Grand Lodges throughout the world.

WHEREAS, Masons must preserve the Ancient Customs of the fraternity, their virtue, their standards of life and action, and the teaching by symbols and example. WHEREAS, Landmarks serve as bulwarks, against innov&tion. The fundamentals of Freemasonry must be preserved. THEREFORE, The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge, A.F. &; A.M., recognizes the following as Landmarks: 1.

Government of Ma80nry The Grand Lodge is the supreme governing body within its territorial jurisdiction. The powers of the Grand Lodge are derived from the Ancient Landmarks, usages and customs of Ma80nry, it has original and exclusive jurisdiction to enact and enforce all laws and regulations for the government of the Craft.

That it is the prerogative of the Grand Master to preside over every alJ8embly of the Craft in his jurisdiction, whether grand or subordinate, and to exercise the executive functions of the Grand Lodge during its recess. .

The Necessity of Mason to congregate in Lodges, to have a Master and two Wardens.

No one can be elected Master of a chartered Lodge but a Master Mason who shall have served as a Warden.

That no appeal can be taken to the Lodge from the decision of the Master or Warden occupying the chair in his absence. A Lodge cannot try its Master.

No Lodge can interfere with the busine88 of another Lodge.

The equality of all Masons.

The right of every Mason to appeal to the Grand Lodge, from any decision affecting his status as a Mason.

Membership on the Fraternity: The Grand Lodge recognizes the physical, mental, moral, and spiritual qualifications of a candidate for membership in the Masonic Fraternity, as derived from the Ancient Landmerks. The candidate must receive a clear ballot to qualify for membership.

Reference General Regulations of 1721 "No man can be entered a brother in any particular Lodge, or admitted a member thereof, without the unanimous consent of all the members of the Lodge then present when the candidate is proposed, and their consent is formally asked by the Master." Anderson's Constitutions This Landmark applies to candidates applying for membership in the fraternity and those asking to be "accepted" from other Masonic Lodges.

The MaBOnic Insignia During the latter part of the eighteenth century, the Square and Compasses, were united in a certain manner to fonn the recognized insignia of MaBOnry. The Grand Lodge of Louisiana recogniZes this as a Landmark in Masonry. The Square and Compasses, as they appear in the Master Mason Degree, shall be the official insignia of Louisiana Grand Lodge. The Grand Lodge recognizes that the letter "C" has been added to the insignia in recent years, not by official action, but by individuals as an expression of love for the Diety. The Grand Lodge would permit this addition to continue, but will not permit other innovations, deletions, or ~!dditions without permission of the Grand L<>dge with the exception of present officers jewels.

11. 12.

"The Book of the Law," square and compasses, are the Great Lights in Freema80nry, and their presence in an open L<>dge is indispensable. . The white lambskin apron is the badge of a MaBOn.

13.

The legend of the Third Degree.

14.

The convenants of a Mason do not conflict with his duty to God, his country, his family, his neighbor, or himself, but are binding upon his conscience and actions.

15.

Penalties described in Masonry are Ancient Symbolic Penalties.

16.

Masons must obey the moral law and government of the country in which they reside.

17.

Secrecy applies to the modes of recognition, certain symbols, the ballot, obligations, signs, pass words, and the forms of initiation. .

18.

A belief in the existence of God, in the immortality of the Soul and a resurrection thereof to future life.

19.

The volume of the Sacred Law, open upon the altar, is an indispensable furnishing of every Lodge while at labor.

20.

The symbolism of the Operative Art.

21.

The prerogative of the Grand Master to grant dispensations for conferring degrees at irregular times and for opening and holding Lodges (Lodge under dispensation).

22.

That no visitor, unknown to the Brethren present, or to BOrne one of them as a FreemaBOn, can enter a Lodge without r1l'8t passing an examination according to ancient usage. .

23.

Every Master, before closing his L<>dge, must give, or cause to be given, a lecture on Masonry, or a part thereof.

From the Jurisdictions of Saskatchewan, Ireland, and L<>uisiana we have seen attempts to define our Fraternity.

CONCLUSION We have been informed that Fellowship (or lack of it), Religion and Rit-

1989 GRAND LOOCE OF MISSOURI 107 ual are major influences affecting the condition of Freemasonry. I touched on programs from other jurisdictions concerned with these topics. The over-riding influence that affects our Fraternity is "free" time. Most of the negative and the positive responses to the survey of M.W. Jenkins mentioned problems with their work schedule or the time necessary to devote to the memorization of the ritual. What we ask men to do in spending their valuable "free" time has become the gatekeeper to our Fraternity. Some are saying that they are finding the gate closed. Many are walking to the gate and after discovering the requirements, closing the gate themselves and walking away. In 1988 the lodges within our jurisdiction initiated 1,125 but raised only 755. The 1,125 initiated were men that passed through an investigating committee and vote of the lodge. Those that did not continue (350) are responding with comments which express concerns with fellowship, religion, ritual and free time. The general condition of Freemasonry, as I see it, may be summed up with the following: The membership is in a state of severe decline. Those that remain are struggling with the changes necessary for the Fraternity to survive into the 21st Century. There are some notable exceptions to this general condition of the Craft, but this committee is not charged with the discussion of exceptions. Fraternally submitted, C. ALExANDER, Grand Secretary

REPORT OF TIlE GEORGE WASHINGTON MASONIC NATIONAL MEMORIAL COMMI1TEE 7b the Grand Lodge AR & AM. ofMissouri:

The George Washington Masonic National Memorial is not only a national Masonic monument to Brother George Washington, but also serves as an outstanding national showcase of the best that Freemasonry represents. The care and maintenance of a structure such as this requires con-

108 PROCEEDINGS OF THE 1989 stant attention. Necessary work that is delayed because of lack of funds only increases in scope and costs. Because of steadily increasing costs, and because the income of the Memorial Association has been reduced due to declining membership (less fees from Initiations) the Association has found it necessary to ask for the support of the Fraternity at large. We have all made our small contribution to the upkeep of the Memorial at the time we came into the Fraternity, and for many years that was adequate. But at this time more is needed. The Fraternity simply cannot afford to let this national symbol deteriorate or disappear. The Association has this year launched a project called "The Cornerstone Campaign". The Cornerstone Campaign is a coordinated effort to increase the Memorial's permanent endowment fund to the level at which the Memorial can be perpetually self-sustaining, and to allow much needed capital improvements. The principal features of the campaign include three distinct on-going phases, which will be introduced over a five-year period, and will culminate on the 200th Anniversary of the laying of the cornerstone of our United States Capitol Building by Brother George Washington. It is a large task and will take the concerted effort of the entire membership. Phase One is an effort to solicit a one-time direct contribution of at least five dollars to the Memorial Endowment Fund from every Master Mason. This appeal is directed toward our total membership, and not to Initiates only. This does not replace the Initiates contribution program, but is a one-time appeal to the total membership to bolster the EndowmentFund. Other phases will include a designated gifts program in which those persons who are able may make large gifts either to the endowment fund or to specific improvements, and an inaurance and bequests program. A number of Missouri Lodges, and individual Brethren have already made contributions to this very necessary and worthwhile Cornerstone Campaign, but it needs the support of the entire Fraternity. Your Committee urges each member to participate in this one-time effort by making, at least, a $5.00 contribution. It may be sent to: The Cornerstone Campaign Michael J.

REPORT OF THE MASONIC BOARDS OF RELIEF To the Grand Lodge AR & AM. ofMissouri: BRETHREN: The committee has been informed that the Boards of Relief in Joplin and St. Joseph have been disbanded. The following is the report of the St. Louis and St. Louis County Boards of Relief.:

To the Grand Lodge ofAncient Free and kcepted MasonB ofMissouri:

The St. Louis and St. Louis County Masonic Board of Relief held only the Annual and Semi~Annual meetings during the year. At the Meeting held on May 10, 1989 it was regularly moved, seconded and passed that we would have four meetings in the future. One each being held in Jan~ uary, April, July and October. The October meeting would be the Annual Meeting at which time new officers would be elected. During the past year the Board made two monetary donations in cases of distress. A donation was made to the Masonic Home of Missouri and to the Masonic Temple in St. Louis. The Board was called on for six courtesy Masonic Services which were handled in the proper manner. Masonic Funeral Services are becoming a thing of the past. It is noted in our own 61st Masonic District that a number of the members of the Fraternity passed away, yet no Masonic Service Service is held. Why? The requests for wheel chairs, crutches, canes, etc. has not been as many during the past year. We have been able to handle all requests very well with no problem.

REPORT OF THE PUBLIC RELATIONS COMMIttEE To the Grand Lodge AF&AM ofMissouri:

The Committee on Public Relations is pleased to report that in keeping with our main objective of "PUBLIC AWARENESS AND FAVORABLE VISIBILITY WITHIN THE COMMUNITY", sever81 projects were continued during the past year to enhance the public perception of our fraternity, However, due to lack of funding and direction of the Grand Lodge, no new projects were started. The following projects were continued and the summary of each is itemized below: DECALS: A decal, along with an order blank, was made available to every Master Mason registering at the Grand Lodge Session in September 1987, at no charge. Over 1,000 decals were given out in this promotional endeavor.

114

PROCEEDINGS OF THE 1989 At this time: Ilecals sold 5,000 Ilecal inventory 5,OOO The decals remaining in stock are for future sales. However the entire project has been paid in full and the inventory of 5,000 decals will therefore show a profit, from our present "break even" point. The DECAL says it all I'M PROUD TO BE A MISSOURI MASON It is the recommendation of this Committee that this project be continued. LAPEL PINS路 This project surpassed its projection. Over 10,000 pins have been sold, leaving an inventory of approximately 2,000. Therefore it is the recommendation of this Committee that this project be continued. Remember Brethren: "BUY ONE FOR YOURSELF AND ANOTHER ONE FOR A BROTHER". This project turned a profit of over $9,000.00 COMMUNITY ROAD SIGNS: After a slow start, demand for the signs exceeded our supply. The original order of 250 signs was depleted. At that time we changed manufacturers and now all orders are sent to the Grand Lodge in Columbia, Missouri, and shipped direct to the lodge, from the manufacturer. We now have 283 rood signs scattered throughout the State of Missouri. MASONIC INFORMATION TELEPHONE LINE: A Masonic Information Telephone Line was installed in the New Masonic Thmple in St. Louis, Missouri. A Mason can now dial 533-LQGE and receive a message that will inform him which Lodges are meeting on that particular day. The start-up cost of this project was borne by the Lodge of Instructions of the 61st Masonic District of the Grand Lodge of Missouri. This Committee agreed to pay for the newspaper advertisement for the telephone line over a three month trial period at a cost of $51.00 per month. Due to the large response the Committee voted to cover this cost for an additional year. Since this is a pilot project, the Committee recommends the project be evaluated at the end of the one year period and consideration given to extendin~ it and possibly having identical projects in other areas of the state. SNOWFLAKE: The purpose of this project was to have a mobile unit designed for use in various locations throughout the State of Missouri, such as community affairs, County and State Fairs, etc., to properly present all facets of Masonry and thereby educate the general public as to what Masonry really stands for. With 354 Lodges making contributions, plus an undetermined amount of interest, the total donations fell short of our goal. Several Lodges indicated that they would increase their donations. However, when the Grand Lodge Officers were asked to use Grand Lodge funds to supplement the project, they declined. All donations have been returned to the donors and the project was cancelled. ORGAN DONOR PROJECT: This is a long term project and requires a great deal of patience and "selling" to the membership and should be continued. Also various avenues have been opened to us since the project started and we feel working with the Medical Centers should be pursued. Now that the University of Missouri Medical Center has made headlines with a "heart transplant" they will be even more receptive to working with

1989 GRAND LODGE OF MISSOURI 115 us. Research requires addi tional organs regardless of the donors age and the Medical Center is deeply involved in all types of medical research. Presentations have been made by various members of the Committee throughout the State, not only to Masonic Groups, but to Civic Groups and Service Clubs, information distributed, etc. We have made approximately 200 presentations. However, such a program requires steady and consistent follow up. We must impress upon our membership that all parts of the body are needed. When we are dealing with the expiration of a human being, it is a very sobering thought and it requires very careful consideration in each and every presentation. ADOPI-A-HIGHWAY PROORAM= Permission was given by the Grand Master for each individual Lodge to participate in the Adopt-A-Highway Program if they 80 desired. Information on this project was sent to all Lodges. This Committee encourages each Lodge to consider participation in this project. Brethren, let's do a service for our community and blanket the State with signs, informing the public that Missouri Masons are active and interested in their community. 1989 MIDWEST MASONIC PUBLIC RELATIONS CONFERENCE: This report was Written by the Chairman of the Missouri delegation, Most Worshipful Brother P. Vincent Kinkead. The Iowa Grand Lodge Public Relations Committee hosted the second Midwest Masonic Public Relations Conference in Cedar Rapids, Iowa July 28, 29 and 30, 1989. Representing Missouri was the Junior Grand Warden, D. Robert Downey and Committee Members: Clay M. Banks, Chairman, Paul M. Elliott, P. Vincent Kinkead, John K. Smith, and James M. Williams. Many new and fresh ideas were presented to inform the non-Mason about the activities and merits of Masonry. These efforts are designed to attract more good men into the Fraternity. A new term is emerging "Internal as well as external Masonic Public Relations". Internal Public Relations goal is to inspire the brother who has not been reached by the ritual or Masonic education efforts to find a place of service in the lodge. Many jurisdictions are making progress in attracting new members. The Wisconsin "Shawno Experiment" seems to be having the most success. In Wisconsin a committee of lodge officers plus four other brothers select those men in the community to be actively solicited. After each degree in lieu of any memorization, the candidate is given a series of three lectures. These lectures include some history, the organization of the lodge and the Grand Lodge, the symbolism of each degree, the affiliated bodies, and the pass, grip and sign along with the review of the obligation. Some time after the third degree each candidate is examined in open lodge: (1) Each must demonstrate the signs and grips.. (2) Each must letter and syllable the pass. (3) Each must reaffirm his acceptance of each tie of the degree's obligation as it is reviewed by the examiner. Enthusiasm was abundant in Cedar Rapids throughout the Confer-

116 PROCEEDINGS OF THE 1989 ence. All left the meeting inspired. The 1990 meeting will be in Madison, Wisconsin, July 26, 27 and 28, 1990. It was a revelation to attend the Masonic Midwest Public Relations Conference in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and discover the giant strides that the Public Relations Committees of our neighboring jurisdictions are making, and the funding and cooperation being given by their Grand Lodges. The Missouri Grand Lodge must decide the extent to which they wish to promote Free Masonry and provide a budget necessary to achieve this goal. The promotion of Free Masonry cannot be measured in dollars and cents. It is the recommendation of this Committee that the Committee on Public Relations, which is a Special Committee, be made a Standing Committee, and after this has been accomplished, pursue the idea of establishing a funding program. In the final analysis by the Chairman, the following is submitted. Although .our current projects may seem to some as of little consequence, each .and every one served a purpose. The Lapel Pins established a suggested visitation program by our Brothers. REMEMBER! "BUY ONE FOR YOURSELF AND ANOTHER FOR A BROTHER". The Community Road Signs made the general public aware (as well as travelling brothers) that we were there and, hopefully, encouraged some to ask what the organization is all about. And, of course, the decals say it all - "I'M PROUD TO BE A MISSOURI MASON" and again our members become more visible within their community. A final suggestion from the present members of this Committee, we deem it very appropriate and request the Grand Lodge to honor R.W. Brother Linton W. Kneemiller, former Chairman of the Public Relations Committee, for the long hours and hard work he performed for the benefit of this Committee and the Grand Lodge in general.

REPORT OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS COMMITrEE 'Ib the Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Missouri: While the concerns and comments of our brotherhood regarding public education remain unchanged from year to year, there are now two distinct threats to our brotherhood which are a cause for alarm.

1989

GRAND LOOOE OF MISSOURI

117

(1) Our rule and guide of our faith and practice has admonished

us to beware of false prophets. There is at present a television commercial that, for probably mercenary reasons, allows us to buy for $100 tapes which argue that one cannot be both a practicing Judeo Christian and a Mason. The commercial goes so far as to accuse the Masons of using a word apparently related to Paganism. (2) There has been a marked decrease in the membership of our Masonic lodges in Missouri. It is clear that the future success of Masonry in Missouri rests on the shoulders of our youth attending public schools. Last year Hugh Wamble and Wal ter Ploeser eloquently reminded us that a 1963 Supreme Court hearing ruled that public schools cannot teach religion but may teach abmll religion. Robert Hannon, 33째, Grand Master of DeMolay International, wrote an article for ~ ~ ~ entitled "Gardening and DeMolay". Among his observations was this discernment: "....If you are concerned about membership in your Lodge and if you are concerned about the leadership of your community and our Country, then start paying attention to the young men in your community. Let us start teaching them the values that we care so much about. Let us teach them by our example the meaning. of Brotherly Love, Relief, and Truth. Let us snow them what we mean when we say that our word is as good as our bond. It is important arid it is not being done." Sir Knight Oliver Montgomery penned these words in the February 1989 ~ Templar article "Invest in the Future." "....We must invest now in young people for they will be the ones to carry forth our working tools after we have gone to our final reward. By reaching out to this nation's young people and giving them the guiding hand they need, we give to them important principles upon which they can base their lives and build for the future." The aforementioned declining membership in lodges should not only cause grave concern, but should also strengthen our resolve to foster youth organizations affiliated with our Masonic family thereby reinforcing the brotherhood of humankind through the Fatherhood of God. Religion can indeed play a role in public schools. Madalyn Murry (O'Hair) had a Pyrrhic victory in the school prayer case; government-sponsored, government-directed or government-supervised prayer may not be conducted in public schools, but this is a decision which does not prohibit personal, individual prayers; conversely, one cannot be forced to pray. One still has that right in this great nation that is indivisible under God.

118 PROCEEDINGS OF THE 1989 One of the early lessons we learned as entered apprentices on the checkered floor was that if Freemasonry can be called religion it is an unfeigned belief in one true and living God. Our Masonic family has been blessed with active youth organizations (DeMolay, Job's Daughters, and the Order of Rainbow) who carry on their Masonic interest in adulthood as senior members of these groups and/or as brothers in the lodge or members of Eastern Star. One such group, the Masonic Collegians, was founded on the campus of Northeast Missouri State University this past fall. This organization shows promise ofbecoming national in scope. Chapters are being planned in Kansas and lllinois because of contacts DeMolay members of the Northeast Chapter have with Missouri students attending colleges in these bordering states. Expansion of such fl group should be vertical also. Rotary and Kiwanis have had immense success through Progressive and Builders Clubs, respectively, in junior high schools as well as Ro and Key Clubs, respectively, in senior highs, these being compatible with the equal access principle defined by Congress. 1 What better, tribute to the vision of Brothers Hannon, Montgomery, Ploeser, and Wamble than to spread the cement that unites us into one common mass by vigorously and diligently working for the establishment of such groups in secondary public schools. These groups could not only teach our principles to our youth but enable them to recognize false prophets (along with their unmasonic myths and misconceptions) while becoming active members of our craft when they reach adulthood. As our late brother Senator Everett M. Dirksen, 33째, observed, quoting Victor Hugo, "No army can withstand the strength of an idea whose time has come."

ADDENDUM A lawsuit filed in Federal court in Kansas City, Missouri, on July 14, 1989, seeks tuition grants (vouchers) and transportation costs so children in the public school district can attend private, church-related schools in order to remove the vestiges of segregated public education (Riyarde v. ~ Missouri). This committee will monitor this case.

GRAND LODGE OF MISSOURI REPORT OF THE RECOGNITION OF FOREIGN GRAND LODGES COMMI'I'fEE

119

1b the Grand Lodge AF. & AM. of Missouri: BRETHREN:

The Committee on Recognition of Foreign Grand Lodges has endeavored to maintain contact with the happenings of Freemasonry around the world. We have reviewed the annual report of the Commission on Information for Recognition for the Conference of Grand Masters of North America. With the valuable assistance ofR.W. Brother 'Thrry C. Alexander, Grand Secretary, we have reviewed various types of correspondence between the Grand Lodge of Missouri and other Grand Lodges. Our Grand Secretary has devoted a great deal of time and effort to updating the exchange of Grand Representatives with other jurisdictions. Some jurisdictions beyond the borders of Missouri are quite slow in answering correspondence, and as a result we do not have representatives in some of the smaller foreign jurisdictions. Some Grand Lodges do not exchange or recognize Grand Representatives. At the present time the office of Grand Representative is purely honorary and symbolic to the brother receiving the appointment.

HAWAll For many years we have been privileged to know and work with a number of brethren in the Hawaiian Islands. Through this relationship we have learned to admire and respect their Masonic integrity. Several years ago we were made aware of a desire on the part of several brethren for their own Grand Lodge. However, there was an element among them that felt more secure under the mantle of protection of the Grand Lodge of California to which they were subordinate. It has been said that, "Freemasonry makes haste slowly:' Such was the case in Hawaii. After many years of preparation, the twelve Lodges there decided to form the Grand Lodge of Hawaii. We have reviewed all of the documents prepared to show that they were qualified to become a regular Grand Lodge. These documents revealed that all of the standards of Recognition required, plus a few more have been adopted. The decision to form a Grand Lodge was made on April 8, 1989, and the fonnal convention to organize the Grand Lodge, and to elect the first corps of Grand Officers was held on May 20, 1989. The Grand Lodge of California installed the Grand Officers on July 1, 1989, and was the first Grand Lodge to accord recognition to the Grand Lodge of Hawaii, F. & AM. The first Grand Master is Most Worshipful Brother William Kamalalawalu McKee, Jr., whom we have known and respected for many years. It is, therefore, without reservation that we recommend the Grand Lodge of Hawaii, F. & AM. be accorded full recognition by the Grand Lodge of Missouri.

120

PROCEEDINGS OF THE STANDARDS OF RECOGNITION

1989

In broad general terms the following are generally accepted as the basic standards of recognition: 1. Legitimacy of origin. 2. Exclusive Territorial Sovereignty. 3. Adherence to the Ancient Landmarks. a. Monotheism - an unalterable and continuing belief in God. b. Volume of the Sacred Law as an essential part of the furniture ofa Lodge. c. Prohibition of the discussion of Religion and Politics within the Lodge. The Grand Lodge of Hawaii meets all of the above standards for recognition. (M.W. Brother Bruce H. Hunt motioned that the Grand Lodge of Hawaii be recognized and that the Grand Master of Missouri be authorized to appoint a Grand Representative near Missouri. The motion was seconded and by vote of the Grand Lodge recognition of the Grand Lodge of Hawaii was APPROVED.) NATIONAL GRAND LODGE OF GREECE, A.F. & A.M..

The committee received, through the office of the Grand Secretary, a two page letter and a brochure from the President of the Board of General Purposes, of the National Grand Lodge of Greece, A.F. & A.M., Brother C. Sariyanidis, requesting "intervisitation only." He states that the National Grand Lodge of Greece now has some thirty-six Lodges with some 2,500 members. Since the National Grand Lodge of Greece was formed following a schism in 1986 with the Grand Lodge of Greece, A.F. & A.M., which is generally recognized by the Grand Lodges in Europe and the United States, including Missouri, we were forced to take a careful look at its credentials. It is the opinion of the committee that since the Grand Lodge of Greece, A.F. & A.M. is now recognized by the Grand Lodge of Missouri, and has exclusive sovereign jurisdiction in the country of Greece, that we cannot recommend recognition of the National Grand Lodge of Greece, A.F. & A.M. It does not have "exclusive territorial sovereignty" over the same jurisdiction, as required in the standards of recognition listed above. ITALY

Last year we reported that the Commission for Information for Recognition of the Conference of Grand Masters of Masons in North America continued to have certain reservations about the eligibility of the Grand Orient of Italy for recognition. We stated then that we believed this to be a "judgmental finding." On February 21, 1989 the Commission reversed its former findings, and made this report:

1989

121

GRAND LODGE OF MISSOURI

"As a result of continued review and concern, we are now of the unanimous opinion that the Grand Orient of Italy meets the standards of this Commission that are required for recognition." We report this action to confirm our previous position that the Gmnd Orient of Italy would work out its problems. Missouri will continue to enjoy good fraternal relations with this Grand Lodge.

REPORT OF THE RITUAL COMMI'I*I'EE To the Grand Lodge A.R & A.M. ofMissouri: BRETHREN

Herewith we submit our annual report as your Committee on RituaL Your Committee met at the Grand Lodge office in Columbia on May 6, 1989 with all members present. The Committee recommends that the proposal to amend Section 15.050 of the By-Laws be disapproved; and that the proficiency requirement remain as it js now, with the lodge determining after examination in open lodge, by majority vote of the lodge by show of hands. Your Committee recommends that the proposal to amend Section 15.020 be disapproved but recommends that the Statement be read just prior to the beginning of the Second Section of the third degree; with the exception that the first paragraph be deleted, since the last sentence states the penalty.

124 PROCEEDINGS OF THE 1989 A written request was received asking for a statement for the introduction of a D.D.G.M. and D.D.G.L. of the 61st Masonic District. The statement is as follows: "It gives me pleasure to present R.W. Bro. D.D.G.M., Division 'A' of the 61st Masonic District of Missouri."

Several points of ritual were discussed and agreed upon. After the close of the Committee meeting, the Committee members served as judges for the statewide finals in the Round Robin Contest. The Committee members have been kept busy handling the matters dealing with the Certificate plans. We wish to express our appreciation to R.~ Bro. 'Thrry C. Alexander and his office staff for their valuable assistance in handling the detailed work which goes through the Grand Lodge Office with regard to the Certificate plans.

Section 3.100 of the By-Laws 'requires that this report shall include the itemized balance of the General Fund, if any, and the source and amount of income received in the preceding fiscal year which was available for the operation of the Grand Lodge. Those figures are in the Annual Auditor's Report, which is available from the Grand Secretary or members of this committee. The sources of income available for the operation of the Grand Lodge are the interest from investments and a portion of the per capital tax. The estimated revenue for the ensuing year, from those sources, is approximately $537,215.00. Respectfully Submitted; RICHARD W. GoFF WIILIAM J. HILL Ray Hilton Marion W. Luna Paul B.

REPORT OF THE COMMITI'EE ON YOUTH To the Grand Lodge AR and AM. ofMissouri: The Committee on Youth has continued to actively support and promote advancement of Masonry in Missouri through the support of our youth organizations. Again this year the Grand Master's Masonic Youth Award has been one of our primary projects. Numerous young men and women were recommended by their local chapters, bethels, and assemblies, placing our Grand Master in the difficult and unenviable position of narrowing the selections to one from each of the youth organizations. This task was accomplished by the selection of Michelle Rae Smith of Pacific, Missouri from the Order of Rainbow for Girls and the selection of Susan Kay Snavely of Fannington, Missouri from the Order of Job's Daughters. However, our Grand Master surely must have been seeing double when he selected Kenneth and Michael Wilson of Blue Springs Chapter Order of DeMolay as the co-recipients of this honor. (Kenneth and Michael are twin brothers.) Each of the young people recommended to the Grand Master carried impeccable credentials and qualifications. These four young people who received the award are truly representative of the teachings of their respective organizations. Special thanks to R.W. Brother Daniel F. Cole, R. W. Brother Frank A. Arnold, and R.W. Brother Terry C. Alexander for their time and assistance in making the presentations. Additionally this last year has seen the completion of the slide program on Masonry for presentation to DeMolay chapters. The slide program has been presented in several areas around the State and is available upon request. A unique feature to this slide program is that it can be adapted to

1989

GRAND LODGE OF MISSOURI

137

specific locations by the change of a few slides. The program is outstanding and this committee heartily recommends that it be seen by as many Lodges and DeMolay chapters as possible. Your Committee considers the opportunity to work with these youth groups and the Grand Lodge a privilege and a joy. For this opportunity we are extremely grateful. These young people are our lifeblood and the chance to impress and to encourage them should never be allowed to go by the wayside. Respectfully submitted, RONZUMALT ROBERT W. COCKERHAM ALBERT L. HOWE RICHARD ~ HOLMES LIONEL J. GoLDE DAVID E. WII~ON, Chairman

M.W. Grand Master Jenkins moved that the pre-printed, amended and supplemental reports of committees be accepted and printed in the PROCEEDINGS. By vote of the Grand Lodge the Reports were ACCEPTED. M.W. Grand Master Jenkins stated that the Reports of the Grand Auditor, Grand Treasurer, Grand Lecturer and Grand Secretary appear in the pre-printed Booklet distributed on Monday, September 25, 1989. M.W. Jenkins asked for presentation of supplemental reports at that time.

Reports of Officers REPORT OF THE AUDITOR 7b the Grand Lodge AR & A.M. ofMissouri:

We have audited the accompanying Balance Sheet of the Grand Lodge at June 30, 1989 and the related statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Fund Balances for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Grand Lodge officers. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these statements based upon our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards required that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material mistatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. As discussed in Note 1, to the financial statements, a provision of depreciation is not provided in the accounts of the Grand Lodge. Purchases of capital equipment including the Grand Lodge building has been charged to expense when acquired.

1989 PROCEEDINGS OF THE 138 In our opinion, except for the effects of unrecorded depreciation as dis路 cussed in the preceding paragraph, the financial statements referred to in the first paragraph present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Grand Lodge at June 30, 1989, and the results of its opera路 tions for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

REPORT OF THE GRAND LECTURER To the Grand Lodge AR & AM. ofMissouri: BRETHREN: Herewith is submitted my seventeenth annual report as your Grand Lecturer as required by the Constitution and By-Laws of the Grand Lodge. One of the duties of the Grand Lecturer is to make a written report to the Grand Lodge regarding the general condition of the ritualistic work and other matters of interest connected with his office. As a matter of record this report is important for, by it and those presented in the past, we are able to follow the progress of our ritual from year to year. I have held schools of instruction in every district of the state at least once, and in many districts where I felt my services were needed, a second time. The attendance at these meetings, with a few exceptions, has been less than last year, perhaps due to the fact that attendance at these meetings is no longer one of the requirements for receiving the Achievement Award. The condition of the ritualistic work statewide is excellent. Most of the lodges are able to conduct their opening and closing in a good ritualistic manner; there are only a few who can do all of their degree work without outside help. Quite a number can do a very good job with the conferral of the 1st section of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd degrees, but are unable to confer the lectures -- and the 2nd section of the 3rd degree without outside help. I know how busy many of us are with activities with our children of school age, with church and community work, but when you apply yourself to the work of learning a lecture or charge you are setting in motion good learning habits, enlarging your vocabulary, expanding horizons of contemplation and thought, adapting concepts set forth in these beautiful lectures to situations which are thrust upon you in the profane world. Not only ar.e you improving the level of proficiency in your lodge, or making a favorable impression upon a candidate or a new brother, but that which is committed to memory becomes a part of you. I would challenge every Worshipful Master who at this time has to go outside of his own lodge to find someone to perform any of the degree work or lectures to challenge someone in his own Lodge to memorize that work needed and thereby improve

142

the standard of performance of his lodge. "Working Masons" stimulate interest of men outside the lodge and renews enthusiasm of those within. Once again I have been blessed with good health and have been able to make all of my visits as scheduled and have found in all places willing men and deputies who extend themselves beyond the normal to assist in seeing the work perfected in their lodges or districts. My thanks go to all of these brethren for their able assistance; most especially to my corps of deputies who are giving far beyond expectation. Some of the deputies have expressed the desire to be replaced this year and we will be honoring their requests. One who has asked to be replaced as a deputy is R.W. Bro. Ronnie L. House, a member of the Committee on Ritual, and has served as District Deputy Grand Lecturer for 28 years in the 46th Masonic District. I shall certainly miss his presence in that responsible office, as will his brethren in that district and will still call upon him for service and advice as his health permits. Once again I have had the opportunity to attend and take part in the area meetings last October and November. A partial closing on the 2nd and 3rd degrees of Freemasonry was demonstrated with the assistance of the D.D.G.L's. We suggested that this method be used to confer degree work on their regular meeting nights. The demonstration was well received and was evident as I made my visits in the Spring. I want to thank Most Worshipful Bro. Robert D. Jenkins for giving us the time to exemplify this part of our work. The Round Robin competition was held again this Spring, although the numbers have not increased over last year. A total of seven Round Robins were held; in Monroe City, St. Louis, Kansas City, Jefferson City, Chillicothe, Springfield and Sikeston. The winners were Charles Benedict, Elmer Copeland, Frank Roszell, Jim Blankenship, Donald Campbell, David Cotter and John Shipman. These dedicated brethren came to Columbia at the Grand Lodge office on May 6, 1989 and competed again, R.W. Bro. Donald Campbell being declared the state winner. Congratulations to R.W. Bro. Don. The March meeting held at Washington, Missouri for the D.D.G.L.'s was well attended for the 10th consecutive year with an attendance of nearly 100 brethren; by far the most to attend one of the schools this past year. We very much appreciate the use of those lodges who allow us to hold our Sunday meetings therein; those lodges so used are Cameron, Poplar Bluff, Sedalia, Springfield (Gate of the Temple), Monroe City, Chillicothe, St. Joseph (Brotherhood), Washington, Springfield (Masonic York Rite Temple), Wentzville, Sikeston, Rising Sun, and Mexico. For the last seventeen years, I have held the Deputy meetings on Sunday, following the schedule established by my predecessor, R.W. Bro. Freelon K.Hadley, although this meant being absent from my church home for more than half the Sundays of the year. This next year, my plan is to schedule the meetings for Saturday and hope this will be favorable to the majority of those who attend. I appreciate the many invitations extended to me and regret that I was unable to accept a number of them; however, I do feel that my responsibility to the Grand Lodge and the subordinate lodges is in teaching of the rit-

1989

GRAND LODGE OF MI&SOURI

143

ual and I do not feel I should cancel a school in order to attend those special occasions when my schedule is made more than three months in advance. Thanks for those invitations and perhaps I will be able to attend some of those in the future. lowe a debt of gratitude to the Grand Lodge officers for their support of me and my office, especially to our Grand Master M.W. Bro. Robert D. Jenkins for his support and confidence in appointmenting me as your Grand Lecturer. I have appreciated the warm and close relationship we have had for some eighteen years. 'Ib Bob and Betty, Johnnie and I thank you for your friendship. Thanks to our Grand Secretary, R. W. Bro. Terry Alexander, for his support of me and my office this past year. Things would not go nearly so well without him and his staff in doing the work of our Grand Lodge. It is my wish to give to my brethren, as flawlessly as possible, the wisdom and beauty found within the ritual of our order, and hope and pray that by precept and example, we may continue to give life and meaning to the body of Freemasonry. May the Great Creator of the Universe continue to bless and prosper our efforts to give more light and knowledge to our world. Fraternally submitted, STANTON T. BROWN

REPORT OF AUDITING COMMITrEE To: The Master, Wardens and Brethren of Missouri Lodge of Research; We have on this date examined the report of the Secretary-Treasurer of the Missouri Lodge of Research for the period of July 1, 1988 to June 30, 1989. We have found the report in good order, correct and complete. Harry R. Schmid Sterling T. Campbell

SECRETARY'S REPORT 1988 路1989

To the Officers and members of The Missouri Lodge of Research. This year there were 163 new members, but lost 29 by death and 70 resigned (non-payment of dues) this made a net gain of 64. Our membership as of July 1, 1989 is 1610. Worshipful Brother Ray Hilton put together a group of topics in a book called "Masonic Literary Harvest." This book was mailed to the membership this year. I have received many favorable comments about the book. It is a pleasure to sec an increase in membership in The Missouri Lodge of Research when many of the Masonic bodies are having decreases. We should all remember to support our blue lodges. I wish to thank all Officers and members for their support during this past year. Fraternally Submitted; FRANK W. HAZELRIGG, Secretary / Treasurer BRETHREN: As Master of the Missouri Lodge of Research, I am pleased to report a very productive year for the Lodge, and also some very encouraging prospects for its future. During the year, we experienced a substantial increase in membership; we printed and distributed a new book, Mic sonic Literarv Harvest, to our members; we received some papers in response to our challenge to the membership to submit materials for possible publication in a new book in for 1990; and we initiated some ongoing plans for the future. Our breakfast meetings this year have been well attended, and we were fortunate to obtain some excellent guest speakers. At the Grand Lodge breakfast meeting September 27, 1988, 240 of our members were present to hear our speaker, Bro. Albert L. Rendlen, Judge of the Missouri Supreme Court. The mid-year breakfast was held in conjunction with the Grand Chapter/Grand Council communications in Jefferson City. 100 members gathered on April 27, 1989, to hear M.W Bro. Royce E. Curlis, Past Grand Master of Michigan. At our breakfast scheduled for September 26, 1989, M.W. Bro. Walter L. "Bud" Walker, Past Grand Master of Missouri, will be our speaker. In R.W. Bro. Thomas C. Warden's report last year as Master of the Re-

172

PROCEEDINGS OF THE

1989

search Lodge he brought into focus the need for the Lodge to attract more local authors by reminding us of the passing of several prolific Masonic writers who have provided us with manuscripts in past years. It was his suggestion that we consider publishing in a single volume a collection of several papers and short essays, such as other research lodges are currently doing. We have attempted to promote that idea this year. Unfortunately no new manuscripts on Masonic subjects have been received: but we have endeavored, with some success, to inspire our members to engage in some research and writing on various Masonic subjects of their choosing. Several papers have been received which are being considered for possible use in a book of short articles scheduled for publication next year. This response is encouraging, and we hope that more of our members will accept the challenge to submit their works for this project. Our effort to develop a successful program of participation by our members is handicapped by our inability to communicate well within the organization. Our officers reside all over the state, and our membership is not only in Missouri but allover the world. While we have one business meeting and two breakfast meetings each year, these are all in conjunction with other activities and are literally squeezed into the programs of those other organizations. For most of the year, there is no contact among the officers and no communication with the members. Likewise our dues structure is not sufficient to fund any independent gathering of our members. Our $10.00 annual dues is sufficient only for the printing and distribution of a book and our normal administrative expenses. I believe, however, that it would be advantageous to schedule one officers' meeting, early in each administration, in order to get the officers involved in current programs of the Lodge, and also to effect some continuity in plans and operations for the future. I believe sufficient funds could be set aside for this purpose. As a first step in this direction, I scheduled a meeting with the Senior Warden, the Secretary/l'reasurer, and the Editor for July 14, 1989, at the Grand Lodge office. We reviewed the current operatiofts of the Lodge of Research and exchanged ideas on projects for the future. The manuscripts submitted to date for possible publication were reviewed and referred to the Editor, and plans were made for soliciting additional materials from our members. M.W. Bro. J.e. Montgomery, who will be Master of the Lodge next year, outlined a very ambitious program for 1990. He proposed three main objectives for special attention during his administration: (1) 1b publish a book of articles and essays submitted by our own members; (2) 1b obtain an oral history from each of our living Past Grand Masters reflecting on the highlights of their respective administrations; and (3) 1b assist in cataloging the books of the Lodge of Research Library presently stored in the basement of the Grand Lodge office building in Columbia. It is my recommendation that these officers' meetings be continued in the future, with more of the officers being invited to attend and participate in the planning. Once again we express our appreciation to our Secretary!I'reasurer, R.W. Bro. Frank W. Hazelrigg, for his devoted service and invaluable 88r

The Grand Master is honorary chairman of the Board. Elective directors may succeed themselves for one term. No ex officio director may be elected to the Board until the annual communication following expiration of his term. Any elected or ex officio member of the Board may serve as President. In the event no member of the Board is elected President, the Senior Grand Warden shall be elected President. (Rest would remain unchanged.) to

his year as Grand Master. 2. With the increasing changes and regulations in the health-field, it is becoming increasingly important for the Board to have the most qualified and able Master Masons serving in a leadership capacity. These changes above will: a. Allow for additional continuity and provide an opportunity for elected members with significant experience on the Masonic Home Board by allowing for an additional four year term. b. Allow for any member of the Board to serve as President, thereby providing an opportunity for the most qualified to fill that office..
