Philadelphia, Pa.
T hirty-nine yea rs is a long time to have been a "lost" Brother.
But after all that time the "lost " Joseph T. Portman somehow remembered o ne beautiful thing - the light of Masonry - that had touched him durin g 82 years of living .
SOMETHING, MAYBE it was the Supreme Architect's h andiwork , triggered the hospitalized Portman's m emory just a few months ago when h e remembered to a visitor his wonderful experience of being a Mason.
Portman r emembered even though he was severely gassed on a World War I battlefield , and has spent practically his entire life since in Army hospitals. T he past 24 years h e has been a patient in the Lebanon Vete rans Hospital at Lebanon , Pa
Lu Shrine Templ e in Philadelphia which, h e said, h e joined shortly af ter his return from the World War I fighting front.
By coincidence, the visitor who s topped by ju st to make Portman's day more pleasurable was Bro. Edward L. Vice of Harrisburg. A Field Agent for the Maso nic Service Association of the United States, Bro. Vice carries ou t its visitation program at Lebanon Veterans Hospital. T he program in this state is financed by the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania.
After writing to the secretary of Stiver Gate Lodge about his v isit w ith Portman, Bro. Vice received word back that a ch eck of the r ecords showed the Lodge never had a m emb er by that name

The Craft is centuries old, yet Pennsylvania has a Masonic body so distinct it's u nmatched any place else in the world.
Known as "The Masonic Ancients of Pennsylva nia," all its members have been Master Masons for 50 years or more. And they all are in good Masonic standing in their Blue Lodges.
THIS UNIQUE body of Brethren, founded 60 years ago in Philadelphia, has since been demonstrating th at old age is not a regret but h as its pleasures.
The Ancients , w ho speak of themselves as "the 50-year boys," endeavor to add to the enjoyment of their senior years. And they strive to solidify the bonds of friendship and frate rnal regard wit hin their exceptional group
Founded Jan 31, 1912 with only a handful of members, the Masonic Ancients' roster today lists about 300 active Brethren Most live in Pennsylvania, while others come from such distant places as Newfoundland and Florida and Shaker Heights, O hio.
The Ancients get together in April and October each year to break bread, li sten to a promine nt speaker and carry
out business . The October session is the annual meeting, which is highlighted by the election of officers.
HELD IN THE Ma sonic Temple in Philadelphia, each meeting usually draws about 125 members.
The philosophy behind th e Masonic Ancients apparently was expressed best by Bro . Mark Richards Muckle, the group's founder and first president .
He con stantly exhorted those Brethre n who were too young and not eligible to join to "hurry along and b ecome so."
Bro. Muckle, a Philadelphia business executive, was 89 years young when death called in 1915. A Mason for nearly 65 years, h e wa s a m emb er and Past Mas ter of Hermann Lodge No. 125, Philadelphia
THE LIFE-LONG labor of the Ancients is an in spiration for others to keep doing works of good. They proudly wear with honor a small lapel button inscribed wi th Masonic Ancients and the number "50."
Certainly Oliver Goldsmith had in mi nd person s of their kind when h e wro t e, "I love everything that's old "
The road which led to Portman's being found and restored to good Maso nic standing, after n early four decades of being " lost" to the Fraternity, stretched from Pennsylvania to California.
Portman not only told his h ospit al visi tor that he joined the Ma sons in San Di ego in 1915 but h e r eca lled, almost fant as tically, the correct name and number of his Blue Lodge - Silver Gate Lodge No . 296 .
PORTMAN ALSO mentioned the Bloomsburg (Pa.) Con sistory· and Lu
And when Bro Vice late r asked Portman if he had an y dues cards, the aged vetera n replied "no," claiming h e hadn't paid dues for more than 40 years
MONTHS PASSED when on ano ther visit to the hospital, Bro. Vice was shown a Masonic calendar which the " lost" Portman said h e receive d from Silver Gate Lodge.
Bro. Vice, his interes t spurred b y the calendar in cident, d ecided to disc uss Portman 's case w ith Bro. W Orville Kimmel, the G rand Maste r of Pennsylvania.
T hi s b ega n a ch ain of corres pondence
b etwee n Bro. Ashby B. Paul, the Grand Secretary of Pennsylvania, and Bro. Ed ward H. Siems , the Grand Secre tary and a Past Grand Master of California. The cross-country exchange of letter s uncovered these details about the " l ost " Po rtman's Masonic life:
• He was initiated in Silver Gate Lodge No. 296 in San Diego on Aug. 9, 1915 , passed Aug 23 and was ra ised on Sept . 10 .
• He became a member of Bloom sburg Consi story in 1918 and then joined Lu Lu Temple in Philadelphia.
• Portman then w as confined and transferred to various Veterans Hospitals in Pennsylvania , including those at Philadelphia, Coatesv ille and Lebanon. Silver Gate Lodge, apparently without know ledge of Portman' s wh er eabouts and unable t o communi cate with him , suspended him July 7, 1933 for nonpayment of dues.
• Both the Bloomsburg Consis tory and Lu Lu Temple, ho wever, had b ee n remitting Portman's dues for many years because they knew of his hospitali za tion But both these Bodies also suspe nd ed him when they learned he was no longer a memb e r of his Blue Lodge.
Bu t graciousness and underst anding marked the road to Portman's restoration to membership in California and (Co n ti nued on Page 8)

This formerly the church in the Washington County community of McDonald, IS one of the newest ded1cated Masonic Temples in Pennsylvania. The Temple is the home of Lodge No. 604 and its Lodge Room was dedicated last Oct. 6 at a Special Commumcat10n of Grand Lodge.
A building which once housed the oldest church in McDonald has become one of the newest dedicated Masonic Temples in the state.
The new Temple in Washi ngton County i s the home of Garfield Lodge No. 604, w hich has 304 members.
THE MEMBERSHIP proudly t ook part in a meaningful ceremony last O c t.
6 a s Bro. W. Orville Kimmel, R. W Grand Master, dedicated the Lodge Ro om at a Special Communication of Grand Lodge A corps of Grand Lodge officers accompanied the Grand Master.
The 77-year-old Garfield Lodge is in the 29th Masonic District. In congratulating the Lodge members , Bro Walter L. Sykes, the District Deputy Grand Master, said:
"The new Temple will be an asset to Pennsylvania Masonry, the McDonald community and the proud Brethren of Garfie ld Lodge. The former parishioners as well as residents of the area were happy to see the church building utilized by the Masons."
AFTER CLOSING its doors the Robinson Run United Presbyterian Church had been put up for sale by the Washington Presbytery. And the officers of Garfield Lodge became interested in buying the property for conversion into their Temple.
Garfield was constituted March 12, 1895 and for most of its 77 years had held meetings in third-floor rooms of various buildings in McDonald. To attend Lodge , the Brethren had to climb long flight s of stairs
The officers finally d ecid ed in 1970
Grand Lodge's Committee on Masonic Culture is advancing it s program of services to assist Lodges in conducting more interesting meetings and activities
The committee's program is being carried out under a directive of the Grand Master. One of his primary concerns is Lodge programming Services provided b y the committee which Lodge officers are ur ge d to u se include:
• 35mm color slides on the Masonic Temple, Philadelphia, a nd the Masonic Homes , Elizabethtown , which may be borrowed for Lodge programs. The slide s include descriptive mate rial. Several 16mm film s also are available on loan
• Sets of informative and inspirational ta lks to share wi th the Breth ren at Stated Meetin gs .
to look into the possibility of acquiring a new home with first-floor accommodations. Buying the church would elimin ate the stairs and enable the Lodge's elde rly members and those with heart conditions to get to meetings.
THE McDONALD Masonic T e mple Association was organized last year to spearhead negotiations to buy the church property . An appeal letter went out to all Garfield members During 1971, they contributed more than $10,000 toward the purchase price.
The Lodge assumed ownership of the church last New Year's Day.
Almost immediately a work force of about 15 Lodge m embers began the job of remodeling the church The men, who donated their labor, worked evenings and Saturdays to get the Temple ready for the October dedication ceremony
The project involved everything from installing steel beams to leveling the old church floor Windows were bricked and more than 150 sheet s of paneling installed. New partitions were added and others replaced. A ceiling was dropped; plastering was done; new doors were put in, and some r emoved
THE TEMPLE w ill have a new kitche n two new re strooms , while new carpetmg enhances the Lodge Room and other rooms .
Beside s its Brethren contributing more than $ 10,0 00, Garfield Lodge will sell the three-story brick building it bought in 1926 as a mee ting place. Proceed s from the sal e w ill be u sed to make the new Temple debt-free.

A name has been chosen and dedication plans set for th e n ew 116-bed extended care facility being built at th e Masonic Homes at Eliza b ethtown.

THE NAME was approved at a meeting of the Committee on Masonic Homes
