Altogether the Masonic census of the 'world, counting every grade and order,' will no doubt exceed two and one-half millions. Not more than three hundred thousand can be路 counted in foreign lands-possibly much less-and many of these so-called Grand Lodges are not recognized by us.

R,EPORT ON F'OREIGN COR,RES,P'ONDENCE. To the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Missour:i:

I herewith present you my annual review of the Proceedings of fifty-five Grand Lodges-all, indeed, which have come to my table-and the work has been accompanied with pleasure and regret. With pleasure because ot the many items of interest which have presented themselves, and with regret that I could not share this pleasure and profit with the entirety of this Grand Lodge. But while the space allotted nle is comparatively small I have, nevertheless, introduced a' number of selections which seemed to me of more than ordinary worth. I have made few personal comments, believing it my duty to give you a Revieto rather than a monologue-a statement of current facts rather than a deliverance of my own opinions. Naturally, the Great War has received much attention from a majority of the Grand Lodges, and while' its thundering echoes are grovling fainter with the passing months, its aftermath will long remain a matter of moment to Freemasonry. In our own land especially, and to some extent in others-thousands of young men, many of whom we fear were unprepared and unfitted, were hurried into the body of Freemasonry with no opportunity to behold "the form and beauty thereof", or to obtain a true appreciation of its value. This is explainable and perhaps pardonable because of the great excitement arising from existing conditions, but the fact remains that much of this unnatural influx may become a liability rather than an asset. Some of these rough ashlars-many, we hope-may be 路:fitted for the temple, but doubtless some must be rejected and cast into the rough rubbish about the temple, while others may be at best mere drones in the Masonic hive. Freemasonry, 'as we understand it, was never intended to be a popular institution; and, certainly, not an insurance company, to secure men against the possibilities of war! We must hope for the best, and we are" glad to know that our own Grand Lodge because of its wise conservatism will have to face this problem in less measure than many others. French Masonry has attracted much attention in most of the Grand Lodges. Some have recognized it with long arguments in defense of its position, and .have appointed representatives. Others have side-stepped the matter by reference or re-reference to com-

.11 ppcndÂŁ.x.

mittees, or by referring it to the next Grand Lodge, while others have rejected it altogether. This may yet prove fruitful cause of dissension among us and \ve fear it will. The demand for a Supreme Grand Lodge by whatever name it may be called is more insistent than ever before, and although the suggestion is generally veiled by wordy arguments, yet the trend is in that direction unquestionably. The general ar~ument is that in any great calamlty, or exigency, such as the European war, we should be abl~ to act 'Unitedly, as well as promptly. The idea may finally prevail, but ,ve think-and hope not, though we would be glad if, in some 'way, ,ve might secure uniformity in the work and autonomy of our General Grand Lc1ges. For we note that there are sometimes wide divergences, not only in the ritualistic vvork, but in other respects. For instance some Grand Lodges-and their subordinates, of course, attend to all public ceremonies, such as laying corner stones, public installations and even funerals, while at Irefreshment! Think of it. This reminds us of the Puritan fathers, who sometimes, after a long and dreadful (?) Sabbath' allowed the children to 'walk to the graveyard-as a recreation! As we understand it, 'a corner stone laying, public installation, attending Divine service-as a lodge-funerals, etc., all these con~ stitute lodge work, and no work can be done:-except the conferring of degrees-and no vote can be taken except in a masters lodge. We sincerely wish there were more of REFRESH1VIENT and social enjoyment in connection v.rith Freemasonry. For a long time '\\1'e have met '''lith nothing in the average lodge, save only the ordinary-sometimes extraordinary-routine of degree work and the mere details of lodge business. No time for discussion of the great principles of our Order, or for brotherly contact and association. Nothing to enliven the hour or make it other than the observance of a formality. The social evening, with its fair contingent of wives, daughters and s\veethearts, and the toothsome banquet is a thing of the past, and the old~fashioned, all~day picnic has given way to the chase of the almighty dollar.

With apologies for this somewhat extended introduction, I beg leave to subscribe myself as Fraternally yours, C. C. WOODS.

There is a quiet dignity, a firmness in purpose and execution and a high resolve manifest in its proportions which to outward appearance indicates his fitness for the position he occupies. This is as it should ever be. No trifler-no witless witling-in a word, no man who cannot stand and meet the most acid test of true manhood, should be permitted to occupy the Grand East, in any Masonic Jurisdiction. A Special Communication of the Grand Lodge was held in Birmingham, Ala., May 15, 1918, for the purpose of laying the corner stone of the new Post Office Building; the attendance was large, the ceremonies elaborate and impressive and the addresses of high character. ANNUAL COl\fl\fUNICATION.

The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Alabama and its Masonic Jurisdiction commenced its Ninety-eighth Annual Communication in the Masonic Temple in the City of Montgomery, at nine o'clock, on the morning of Wednesday the fourth day of December, A. D. 1918, A. L. 5918, and ~'as opened in Ample Form with a good attendance, 313 lodges being represented, besides the Grand and many Past Grand Officers and visitors. The address of the Grand Master is brief, covering only some 16 pages, and in this conciseness he indicates his wisdom, as well as in other respects. We' give one or two extracts: The peculiar pleasure I experience in assembling this Annual Communication is found in the difference of conditions from those that surrounded us one year ago when you did me the highest h.onor within your power and placed in Iny hands the gavel of your authority. A conflict that involved all the great nations of the earth was then raging, and no man could foretell what the end would be.

The principles for ,vhich l\{asonry has ahvays stood ,vere in the balances, having been forced to the arbitralnent of the s,\Tord without the consent or connivance of the free. peoples of the world. The mailed fist and iron heel of Despotisn1 had been laid heavily upon strickened Belgiun1 and bleeding France; the 111aCe of autocracy was casting its ominous shadow over the isles of the sea, and the lanes and reaches of the great deep, and had begun to creep across the sunli ght of our o,vn shores and darken the flash of the torch of the Goddess of Liberty. For reasons purely ethical and spiritual our own nation had thrown into the conflict its mig'hty resources of material 'wealth and man-po·wer. In an incredibly short time we had been changed from a peaceful people quietly pursuing our commercial, industrial and intellectual occupations, into a 111ilitant nation filled ,vith tU'n1ed camps and resounding to the mighty clamor of great industrial plants feverishly turning out the terrible engines of warfare. The serried tread of millions of the sons of freedom was heard for the first tilneupon the soil of Europe, and a new epoch had been made in the ¥'~orld's history, and a definite advance in the cause of hUlnanity and of civilization.

DECISIONS.

These are few and unimportant. NEW LODGES.

Six lodges were created by Dispensation during the year. Two lodges ,vere consolidated, and t,vo under suspension were permitted to resume work. Various other Dispensations for minor purposes were issued during the year, and-we trust-many were refused. Besides that of the post office at Birmingham, several corner stones were laid. I The references to the distinguished dead are appropriate. The recommendations seem wise and were generally approved by the Grand Lodge. CORRESPONDENCE.

Our good Brother Street never fails in his Report on Correspondence. The present is, if possible, better than usual. He omits nothing calculated to add to the interest and information contained. We accept his st?-tement as to our position of some -years siIlce and will carefully revie,v the same when in search of the data referred to. Missouri is kindly treated, with no criticism.

The Roll of Honor of Arizona is beautifully displayed in illunlinated pages at the beginning of the volume, and the Grand Lodge is to be complimented on the splendid showing indicated. Three hundred, or an average of almost ten per cent of the membership, and an average of twenty-five from each lodge, is probably not surpassed by any of our Grand Jurisdictions. And we might note other things commendable in this stalwart body of Masons. . Special Caromunicatians were held for the purpose of laying corner stones, which are reported in detail, and the splendid address of Bro. Elias Stover Clark is given in full. We append a paragraph or two from his peroration: As a nation, as a State, as a brotherhood, as individuals, we must share alike the trials and vicissitudes of this stupendous conflict, renewing- at this te111ple and others the faith of all l\,fasonry in God, taking new aspirations' from the tenets to be found \vithin the points of the extended COlupasses. The light of battle against 1110nstrous aggression may be in our eyes, but knowing that ~"e draV\r the s\\rord not for glory, though glory may come, not for gain, though iInmortal gain may come, not for conquest, though victory ';v ill come, but only for hUlnanity, democracy and fraternity, we can reverently say, "Emanuel~God with us."

"Then the Elnpire of Right shall be founded, And the s'\vay of its scepter increase, Till IVrankind shall stand shoulder to shoulder In the ranks-not of war, but of peace. And the thrones of oppression shall crumble, And the hearts of the tyrants shall quake, And the haughty shall learn to be humble, And the mighty their mockings forsake. For the spirit of truth shall re'ign o'er us, A.nd Hunlanity's banner float free, Till Fraternity's message is wafted To the uttermost isles of the sea."

THE THIRTY-SIXTH

ANNUAL

[Sept. COMJM:UNICATION

,vas held in the City of Tucson, beginning on Tuesday, February 12th, 1918, with the usual ceremonies, follo~Ted by the address of the Grand 1\:Iaster, which was comprehensive and worthy. His reverential spirit and patriotism are clearly manifest. We quote a paragraph: vVe must do everything that can be done to maintain and support our Nation and to enable it to prosecute this war to a successful conclusion, and by this I mean a conclusion which will render a recurrence of such a conflict impossible. At the same time we must foster and maintain all of the ennobling sentiments and precepts on which our institution is founded. For these, when peace shall have again been established, will be the mighty bulwark on \vhich that peace of the future must not only be based, but thereafter maintained. Before a great and lasting peace can be established and maintained among the nations of the earth there n1tlst exist among the people of those nations that same spirit of co-operative help; that same brotherly love and affection; that san18 spirit of rescue and protection of the weak and that same spirit of devotion to mankind and to God, as exists among Freemasons."

â&#x20AC;˘

The Grand J\1aster reported the condition of the Craft generally as excellent t and the financial status all that could be expected. AS TO MEXICO.

The Grand l\laster finds the situation so vague and so involved that after a protracted statement he advises no recognition of any so-caned Grand Lodge in that Republic at present, and the Grand Lodge endorses his view. We somewhat regret this, as we have been for some years satisfied that the Y01"'k Grand Lodge is really entitled to recognition as legitimate and regular. However, we maybe in error. The Grand Master warns against the "American Masonic Federation", a clandestine body, which he says is operating extensively in Utah. He mentions the "Chain Letter" in terms of strong condemnation. He granted many Dispensations ~or ordinary purposes and one for the creation of a new lodge at Clarksdale. He advises remission of dues to members in the Army and the Grand Lodge concurred. His Decisions were few and unimportant.

SEVENTY~SEv"ENTH

ANNUAL

COl\G\1:UNICATION.

The Grand Lodge of Arkansas met for its Annual Session in the Masonic Temple in Little Rock, Tuesday, Nov. 19th, 1918, and was opened with usual ceremonies. All Grand Officers were pres~ ent, as also all D. D. G. M.'s, with the exception of one, and thirteen Past Grand Masters, with the representatives of 329 lodges. THE ANNUAL ADDRESS.

The Grand Master begins this with several pages of lofty sentiment, beautifully expressed. We quote briefly: * * * Let us first,' with grateful hearts, acknowledge our' trust and our dependence on almighty God, from "Whom cometh every good and perfect gift." Let us esteenl him as the great author of our existence,and as our gracious heavenly Father. Let us lift our hearts in thanksgiving to him, for the rnany blessings that have attended us, during the year that is now drawing to a close; and whatever of troubles or bereavements have been ours, let us accept then1~ with becoming reverence and submissive spirits. And having here met again, around this Sacred Altar of Masonry, let us rededicate our lives and reconsecrate our services and renew our hopes, for the incoming of that kingdom, "Of Glory to God in the Highest, Peace on Earth, Good Will Towards IVIen." My brethren, v.. . e are so linked and joined in the interweaving of our best interest here, and in our final destiny hereafter, that the highest success and truest happiness that can come to any one of us, must depend upon the welfare of each and all the rest of us; therefore, in the true spirit of Masonry, let us here today

[ Sept.

as Masons, enlive'n our vows of brotherhood, cement our ties of faith and friendship, and strengthen our bonds of duty and love for each other. ~Iasonry, my brethren, is a great moral institution, hoary 'with the 'wisdom and experience of ages, yet fresh with the strength and energy of youth. It has served the ages that are past, and survived the generations that are gone; and nlarked its impress upon every age of the ,vorld's progress. The wisdom of its contrivance, the strength of its construction, the beauty of its skili, speak to us today froln the ancient ruins of forgotten splendor and from the silent tOlnbs of Inulnmied grandeur.

The Grand l\1aster alludes tenderly to the' fraternal dead; appoints several Grand Representatives, and reports communications received from several. To avoid the issuing of many dispensations he sent out to all lodges the following, believing it to be justified b,y the la,vs and edicts of the Grand Lodge: Every petitioner should possess the necessary l\1:asonic qualifications, regardless of, and aside from his being in the draft and nlilitary service of our country; That no petition should be received or acted upon except at a regular Ineeting of the lodge; but that any lodge at any regular Ineeting, upon the receipt of a petition requiring haste might declare it a case of real emergency, under the provisions of Article rv of our unifornl code of by-la'ws, by a th1'eefourths nlajority vote of the lodge, and thereupon receive the report of the camnli ttee of investigation and proceed to a ballot, and if the master should declare that the ballot \vas spread upon the application of the petitioner for all three degrees of IVlasonry, and san1e should be found clear, that he could then declare hitn elected to receive all the degrees; that the lodge could then proceed, at either regular or called meetings, to the conferral of the degrees, and as fast as the candidate might prove, on examination, his proficiency to the satisfact,ion of the lodge, requiring' always that his proficiency shall be sufficient to enable hiIn to nlake himself kno\vn as such. Since the formation of the above rule of. action, I have only issued dispensation for the ll1aking of l\!Iasons in conformance there\vith, denying requests contrary thereto. I consider that under the proper construction and logical inference of the emergency clause of Article IV, of our bY-laws, the lodges already have the right to proceed in the above manner and that same affords ample latitude for safe and reasonable action.

One charter ,vas surrendered during the year by voluntary action of the lodge.

DECISIONS.

The Grand l\1aster promulgates only a few, and of these we only note one of general interest, to wit: that a man professing a belief in God, but denying the immortality of the soul, is not eli~ gible to the degrees of Freemasonry. (So say ,"ve.) Among the recommendations of the Grand Master we find sev.. eral to approve-especially the one to the effect that a lodge un.. able to confer the degrees should be suppressed-or 'words to that effect. The Grand :!Ylaster reports the Masonic Home in good condition. The Committee on Correspondence made a formal report covering two or three pages, referring to various facts and inci~ dents among Alnerican Grand Lodges.

:MASTER'S ADHRESS.

The Grand lVlaster, M. W. Brother Dr. Douglas Corsan, addressed the Grand Lodge as follO\vs: Brethren of the Grand Lodge: I welcome you to the Forty-seventh Annual Communication and trust that our nleeting together may be productive of good to the Craft and of benefit to ourselves. Like my i111mediate predecessors, I hoped that the great war would have ended before my term of office expired, but the end is apparently not yet. During the year many of the Brethren of this Jurisdiction have distinguished thelnselves on the various battle fronts on ·which our troops have been engaged, and some, also, have given up their lives in the cause of Right and Freedom. The Brethren will join ·with nle in extending our deepest sympathy· to those near and dear to them \VhOnl they have left behind. I feel deeply sensible of the great honor conferred on me by the Brethren of the Grand Lodg'e, and regret that my military duties did not permit nle to devote that tinle to the Craft throughout the Jurisdiction ,vhlch, under normal circumstances, would have been Iny great pleasure and delight. I feel sure that the Brethren will appreciate my position during the past year, and trust that under the circunlstances they will overlook nlY unavoidable absence from many interesting gatherings.

The entire address is the shortest on record, containing only a few pages, which is explained by his absence in the discharge of military duties. He touches only a few matters of minor importance, but his work is splendidly supplemented by other Grand Officers, especially the Grand Secretary, to whom he refers in terms of strong appreciation. The Deputy Grand l\iaster made a brief report, after which the Grand Lodge was called from labor and an address of welcome was delivered by the Mayor of the city. The Grand Secretary made his rep·~rt, covering various items, and c~ncluded by stating that: The Annual Returns show the Lodges to have recovered fron1 the depression of two years ago.

Upon motion of M. W. Brother F. J. Burd, seconded by V. W. Brother W.. A. DeWolf~Smith, it was Resolved, 'rhat fraternal recogni tian of, and exchange of Representatives with, the Grand Lodges "Zur Sonne", of Beyreuth, and of Hungary, be withdra'wn, and that the other Grand Lodges in the Dominion of Canada be infornled of our action in this respect.

The Committee on Resolutions submitted the following: 1. Resolved, That this Grand Lodge, in Annual Convention assenlbled, expresses its heartfelt sympathy with those members of Grand Lodge and the members of the Craft throughout this Jurisdiction who have lost, through the operation of the present war, relatives and friends near and dear to them. The supreme sacrifice that is being daily made on the field of battle by the brave soldiers of the Empire calls for highest admiration and gratitude of Grand Lodge. It grieves for their loss, but feels that theyhave left behind a glorious record which will never be forgotten. J\/[ay the Suprenle Grand Architect of the Universe grant thelTI everlasting peace. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE.

Our good Brother DeWolf Smith presents a finished Report on Correspondence, prefacing it with the following observations, which will find endorsement in many minds and hearts: Brethren: Your Committee on Foreign Correspondence presents herewith its annual review of the Proceedings of other Grand Lodges. As for the last three years, the war in Europe claims the attention of nearly every Grand Master, and influences the work of nearly every Grand Lodge. Since the United States entered the war practically every Grand Lodge in that country has taken steps, both to assist the governn1ent in the prosecution of the war, and to prornote the welfare, moral and material, of Brethren who are serving with the military or naval forces. It is to be regretted that in endeavoring to "do something"

for their members, certain Grand Lodges in the United States have shown a willingness to ignore the principles upon which the Craft is established, and have allowed their sympathies to get the better of their judgnlent. "\Ve refer, of c01urse, to the recognition, more or less complete, of the alleged l\1:asonry of France. Some Grand Lodges, hesitating to throw their principles entirely to one side, have declined to recognize the Grand Lodge of France, and the Grand Orient, but permit their members to visit Lodges belonging to these bodies, while others have offered COlTIplete recognition-and these are possibly the most consistent. Two main reasons are advanced for action in this direction. First, admiration of, and sympathy for, the French people in their gallant struggle for existence. Second, the idea that some advantage will accrue to members of United States Lodges if they are allowed to mingle lV!asonically with what are called French Masons. We have the highest regard for the French, as a nation, and too much cannot be said in praise of their bravery in the present war, but this, in our路 opinion, affords no justification for associating, as IvIasons, with those whose l\1asonic descent is at least doubtful, and \vho, if they ever had any clain1 to the 'name of ~rason, deliberately put themselves outside of the Craft.

THE ANNUAL ADDRESS

is long-forty-seven pages-but if it 'were longer its wealth of high sentiment and splendid terminology \vould .be sufficient apology. We quote: Brethren of the Grand Lodge: Today we assemble for the Sixty-ninth .A.. nnual Comn1unication of the Grand Lodge of California to pass in review the work of a busy and. anxious year, to deliberate upon sUbjects of importance to the welfare and happiness of the Craft, to ena.ct necessary legislation, and to enjoy a delightful season of friendly and fraternal intercourse. It is with great pleasure that I greet and welcome you all. Amid the clash of arms and the sore affliction of a distressed and war-torn world, our Institution continues a very Republic of the Humanities upon which the Giver of all Good has showered His manifold blessings. Our pov,rers have been strengthened and 'vitalized, within our peaceful walls harn10ny and brotherly love reign undisturbed, and before us lies the open way to a practical exemplification of our principles and professions. A !vra30n's :first duty is to his God, next to his country and then to suffering humanity. Our country is in danger and calls all its sons to sacrifice and service. Ilumanity everywhere is suffering calamities and ","oes, unrests and upheavals, physical and mental agonies and the oppression of gross ll1aterialisln. Let us pray our Father to protect 'and bless our country, to sola.ce the suffering and to hasten the day when right and freedorrl shall triumph and peace and happiness be restored to all lands and peoples; and let us at this session devote our hearts and minds to the accomplishment of the great mission of IVIasonry.

* Referring to those who have passed into the Unseen, he quotes a beautiful paragraph from Geo. D. Prentice: "It cannot be that earth is man's only abiding place. It cannot be' that our life is a n1ere bubble cast up by eternity to float a moment on the waves and sink into nothingness. Else 'why is it that the glorious aspirations '\vhich leap like angels from the temple of our hearts are forever wandering unsatisfied? vVhy is it that the stars that hold their festival around the midnight throne are set above the grasp of our limited faculties, forever mocking us with their unapproachable glory? And finally, why is it that bright forms of human beauty presented to our view are taken from us, leaving the路路 thousand streanls of our affections to flow' back in Alpine torrents upon our. hearts? There is a realm where the raiI\~ bow never fades; where the stars will spread out before us like the islands that slumber in the ocean; and where the beautiful beings which pass before us lil\:e shadows will stay in our presence ~or颅 ever."

Append,Lt".

[Sept.

The Grand Master reports various Special Communicationsfor the usual purposes, corner stones, dedications, etc. He also reports many Dispensations, most of \vhich, of course, are more or less, directly connected \vith the work. He created three lodges by Dispensation. He reports peace and harmony throughout the Jurisdiction, and a record year in the increase in membership. The Grand Master made many visitations and refers to one in felici tous terms: Should I refer to any particular visits, n1Y choice could fall only on the altogether delightful trip I made \vith my wife to the Hawaiian Islands in April and 1M:ay. This outpost of .A:.merican civilization has seldom been visited by a Grand IVfaster, and the nature and extent of the hospitality of the IVIasons of the Islands are boundless. Never again do I expect to receive the' same overflo\ving measure of generosity and consideration, nor to so quickly and completely surrender my affections and friendship, as I did in Ha路waii. The strangers of yesterday became the hosts of today and the friends of all the after years of my life. The land is one of rare beauty and infinite attractions, its history is a fascinating epic, its econonlic and social problems are important and difficult Of solution, its industrial prosperity is marvelous, its people are of the salt of the earth and its :Masonry is influential and honored and worthy. The great pride we have of the Lodges and J\1:asons of the Islands is justified and pardonable. I was received and honored by our Lodges at Honolulu, Schofield Barracks and Hila, ,vas the guest of Scotland's Lodge at I<:ahalui, dined at the Country Club with the Past :Masters and officers of the Lodges on the Island of OahU, was priVileged to speak to public gatherings and schools, and "was entertained and feted far beyond my expectations or deserts. I hope Fortune 路will reserve for me the opportunity to give to my Hawaiia.n brethren and their loved ones some substantial and personal evidence of my gratitude to them and n1Y appreciation of their goodness to me and mine.

Such an experience is certainly worth reporting. The Grand Master grants a "change of venue" in a case of Masonic discipline, and his action was approved by the Committee on Grand Master's Address. The Grand Master recommends a change in the By-laws of Grand Lodge requiring each lodge to fix the annual dues at not less than nine (9) dollars, .instead of six dollars as now. The committee considered this a questi~n of policy, merely, and reported it back, without recommendation. This, by the way, is a sig;nificant comment on the wealth and liberality of this great Jurisdiction, which in salaries paid and its splendid benefactions in the way of the support of the two Homes and otherwise, probably 'exceeds any other Grand Lodge.

21 The conclusion of the address is very beautiful, and \ve cannot refrain from a further quotation: Through all the centuries has run the wistful yearning for the day ","hen man to man-the world over-shail be as brothers. There can be no real or lasting happiness, no unrestrained gladnesS, ,vithout peace and brotherhood. These are the things man needs most and craves most-he loathes and dreads the onset of race aga.inst race, nation against nation, brother against brother, the rivers of innocent blood and the black desolation of endless butchery and hate. The 'dawn of a new day appears and the ghosts of the wandering people of the past may rejoice, for Freedom has builded a new house and the long quest will soon end in the great g'lory of that brighter light no darkness can resist. Freemasonry was the first of existing human institutions to proclaim the principles for which panoplied and irresistible armies are now contending on the fields of a war-swept world. No longer does it struggle and fight unaided and alone for religious and political freedolll and the recognition in laws and institutions and governments of the Fatherhood of God a.nd the brotherhood of man, but today the nl0st powerful peoples have 'seized her lighted torch, and with the rallying cry of Liberty, Equality and Fraternity have marched on a new crusade to redeem the world as a holy land and to establish the kingdom of the brotherhood of man and of nations. Their ,swords avenge the wrongs of the helpless; their cannons speak for those who are voiceless, and their flags float above the land and sea as an assurance alike to tyrants and their victin1s that the creed of human liberty is not an unmeaning formula, nor the brotherhood of man an empty dream. Freemasonry was first to deny the claim that a king-'s crown gave to any man a divine right to rule ruthlessly over all other men and to mold their destinies without their consent; the first human organization to recognize and to proclain1 that all worthy men should every\vhere meet on a comn10n level and stand equal before the law.

FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE.

Under this head the chairman of the committee thus introduces himself and his purpose:

IN1'RODUCTION.

The matter contained in this report is in the nature of an innovation fronl the beaten path of the "Correspondence Round Table." It is very much an assen1blage of matters relating to the war and war activities; and I do this without apology, as at this critical time in the vlorld's history there is nothing really worth thinking about, talking about, living for or dying for, except such matters as in some way are instrumental in helping directly or indirectly to win this war.

He further explains: vVhat do Californians care that in Illinois the Grand Lodge opened in ample forln; that practically all the Lodges were represented;that forty of the representatives of other jurisdictions were present; that a cordial welcome was extended to a distinguished brethren; that certain distinguished members were present that were introduced, and appreciated responses \vere made; that the printed proceeding is a volume of excellent taste; that the Grand JYIaster, judging fron1 his picture, is a fine-looking fellow, etc.?

The Correspondent then proceeds to produce a really worthy discussion of certain salient questions of the present day, avoiding as he fore'warns us any descent to the ordinary review! Some 24 of the 100 pages of the discussion are given to an exhaustive history of French lViasonry and the (stated) attitude of American Grand Lodges thereto. Military lodges are discussed, and the delinquencies of different Grand Lodges quoted.' Most of the remaining space is devoted to the "fiag"-the 'war generally, with a strong and wise discussion of the danger of having communities or colonies built up among us speaking other languages and perpetuating generally the institutions of other countries. (Which we most heartily endorse.)

This is brief but comprehensive, and exhibits fine taste in sentiment and terminology. Thus: I am convinced that the active part taken by Freemasons as individuals in all matters pertaining to the welfare of our Empire during these spacious days in which we live has so commanded the Order to the world at large that men flock to our banners in order to share with us the pleasure of being happy in well doing and thus communicating that happiness to others. Never has it been more evident than during the past four troublous years "that :rvrasons unite with the virtuous of every persuasion in the, firm and pleasing bond of fraternal love. Thus 11asonry is the center of union between good men and true and the happy means of conciliating friendship amongst those who must otherwise have remained at a perpetual distance." Our nleetings and the inspiration derived therefrom month after month have enabled us \vith fresh courage to go out amongst our fellow men and do a Inan's work, where nothing but a nlan's work will avail.

Referring further to the war, he says: "In Flanders' F'ields, v.There poppies blow Between the crosses row on row That mark our place; and, in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly, Sicarce heard amidst the guns below'. '\Ve are the dead. Short days ago We lived-felt dawn-saw sunset glow; Loved and were loved; and now we lie In Flanders' Fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe! To you from falling hands we throw The torch. Be yours to lift it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, thol+gh poppies grow In Flanders' Fields."

The Grand Master reports the financial condition as most satisfactory. Nearly forty thousand dollars were expended on benevolent grants. Nine lodges were consecrated and dedicated. Five hundred ninety-three Dispensations were issued-about

THE HONORED DEADâ&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘

The Grand Secretary called the rolL of Past Grand Masterseighteen, who have passed into the Unseen, the GrandMaster responding after each name with the date of service and death. rfhe Grand Representatives were presented-duly welcomed by the Grand Master, and W. Joseph C. Davis, Grand Representative from J\laine, made a most happy response. THE ADDRESS OF THE GRAND l\IASTER,

covering some 26 pages, needs no commendation from us-or anyone. It commends itself by its beauty of spirit and diction and its concise comprehension of details. We can only give a paragraph or so: The war is changing everything. Our standard of living, our educational systeu1s, our business relations, our attitude towards political and economic developnlent, all are undergoing an evolution. The world can never be quite the same after the war as before. "\Vhether this change will be for the betterment of nlankind remains to be seen. vVe confidently expect it will. If it is not, then all the money spent, all the energy used and all the lives lost '\"lill have been for naught. Follo'\ving the war the reconstruction period will demand just as great n1en as the battle fields now require. The really true measure of our civilization will come after the sword is sheathed. The no'\v supposedly great peoples of the earth mayor may not be able to retain their prestige. The battles of peace will loom even greater than those of war. The real test of strength will come,' not on No Man's Land, but in the great IDf'rts of the world.

DISPENSATIONS.

l\iany-a great many of these were granted, but we note, with gratification, that many were refused. These Special Dispensations, in our judgment, should be few-very few! The Grand Master reports only one Decision, which amuses us-not the Decision, but the question itself, to wit, whether sitting in a meeting of the Eastern Star is sufficient to enable one to vouch for another. Of course, the answer was, No! The Grand Master reports an edict permitting Colorado Masons in France to visit and hold Masonic communication with French Ma'sons and others not recognized by us until the close of the war, or until the edict is revoked. Since 1861 the Masonry of Colorado has grown from three

For the convenience of those of us who are not familiar with the language of Cuba, the authorities kindly furnish a translation of the most important portions of the Annual, which enables us to understand; in measure, the spirit and manner of Cuban Masonry. . The work of the Grand Lodge for the year 1917-18, was conducted in three "trimestial" and one Annual Communication, besides one "Especial" and one "Extraordinary". All excepting the Annual contain little more than reports and general data, giving the Annual Address at the meeting in March, which closes and begins the Masonic year. THE ANNUAL ADDRESS

is practically a lament over the condition of the war~stricken world in its beginning and the Grand Master calls on all to join in prayer for the passing away of the dark 'cloud which overhangs the nations. He reports various appointments and the creation of seven lodges by Dispensation. He reports the recognition in Quarterly Communication of the Grand Lodge of Panama, and also that of the Philippine Islands.

He earnestly warns the lodges against the' admission of un'\vorthy men, many of whom desire to en.ter. The Granel Secretary reports the Grand Lodge in a most prosperous condition generally, and especially in its financial status. All debts have been paid, weak lodges. have been aided in completing their lodge rooms~ and a satisfactory balance remains in the treasury. Unless the Grand Secretary has miscalculated, or the publisher has made a mistake in figures, the increase in membership is remarkable, being nearly 20 per cent, as indicated above.

STATED MEETINGS.

The first Stated Meeting of the Grand Lodge ,vas held in the l\fasonic Temple in Washington City, 11arch 7th, 1918, and the' second at the same place, May 8th, 1918. Also a Special Communication April 12th. The first of these recorded no business except the exemplification of the work by the officers of various lodges. The Special Communication of April 12th was called to consider a proposition of the Public Utilities Commission to run a trolley loop around the Masonic Temple block and to occupy a part of the building for public service. This was granted after prolonged discussion, evidently greatly in opposition to the wishes of many of the brethren, whose after objections caused several of the commissi9ners or trustees of the Temple. property to offer their resignations. At the second Stated Communication, however, this matter was further discussed-the resignation of the commissioners was not accepted and the complimentary resolution with which this action attended-as we suppose-was satisfactory, and there the matter rested. THE ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTH ANNUAL COM':l\JIUNICATION.

Held in the Masonic Temple at Washington, D. C., beginning its labors at 7 p. m., Dec. 18, 1918, and closing the same evening. The limited territory of this Grand Jurisdiction-the ease of communication and movement from every point, together with the system of Stated Communications, renders long Annual Communications unnecessary. The address of the Grand Master opens in reverential and patriotic tone路 and t:q.e worthy character of the beginning is sustained throughout. He refers tenderly to the fraternal dead, especially dwelling on the untimely death of Past Grand Master J. H. Small, who was called away Dec. 2, 1918, in the midst of the activities and honors of middle age. He dwells with appreciation on the kindness of the brethren of the Jurisdiction in extending elegant and cordial hospitality to returning soldiers temporarily stopp~ng in Washington-m.embers of the fraternity-at his suggestion. He rendered only one decision, and while he refers to the law, yet we regret the limitations of that law and can hardly believe that it should govern in such cases! Briefly stated, it was this: A brother inadvertently casting a black ball reported the fact to

The Annual Cornulunication of the Grand Lodge of Georgia was held in the City of lVfacon, beginning on Tuesday, November 26th, 1918. Opened in Ample Form, with good attendance.

The prologue, or introduction, is a discussion touching many things with a strong hand, and in its effect exalting our good Brother Daniel to a position more conspicuously honorable than .ever that held before. It is a great piece of work. Missouri is most kindly recognized, and the Correspondent not forgotten. Thanks.

The volume of Proceedings is introduced by the details of a Special Communication for the purpose of laying the corner stone of a church. THE FIFTY-FIRST ANNUAL COJ\1:l\:IUNICATION

was held in the City of Moscow, Idaho, beginning Tuesday, Sept. 10, and continuing for three days. The roll of deceased Past Grand Masters was called as .usual at the opening, and a response from the Grand Master in each case gave details of offichil life and date of death. Past Grand Master 路Chas. Himrod was complimented by resolution on having attended every session of the Grand Lodge for more than forty years. Only seven Grand Representatives were present.

THE ANNUAL ADDRESS

was ,veIl arranged and, for the most part, "orthodox" from a 路路1\1asonic standpoint, but we cannot endorse every deliverance, nor did the Committee on Jurisprudence-except with modifications. He rel?orts several Decisions, though he modestly suggests that every question might have been answered by careful study of the existing law. (We are glad to note that the disposition to make Decisions is becoming rarer. It should be so.) It-IASONIC LAWS.

Discussing this subject, he quotes, at length,_ from Mackey's Encyclopedia, giving, with seeming approval, all his' "Landmarks", though some of these are held of doubtful authority and some openly repudiated. Especially that touching the prerogative of a Grand l\1aster to make a Mason "at sight". We might also mention that asserting the right of every Mason to visit any regular lodge. No visitor should or can be admitted if a single member objects! AN INTERESTING INCIDENT

is thus related by the Grand Master: On l\1arch 30th I telegraphed every lodge in Idaho: "Gravity European situation denlonstrated, with hun1i1iating knowledge, \V'e have thus far failed. Masonry, now as ever, should lead thought and action. Call special meeting before next Saturday, invite all ~rasons and families, join neighboring lodges, where practicable have patriotic speeches, pass ringing resolutions, arouse your con1munity to WIN 'VAR; report action." The response to this telegram was one of the most inspiring incidents in my Masonic life. Practically every lodge in the jurisdiction held special war winning meetings, and the resolutions that were adopted by many of the lodges were so splendid and encouraging that I sent a great number of them to Secretary McAdoo, as an indication of the attitude of l\1asons in Idaho. He replied, cordially thanking us for our work. * * * ,* * * CHARITY.

This Grand Lodge does not fail in its benevolence. Orphans' Fund has .already reached handsome proportions.

of the Grand Lodge of Illinois, though we may say that the prayer of the Grand Chaplain, Rev. Walter Aikin, bordered on the sublime! The Grand Master thus introduces his ANNUAL ADDRESS:

Brethren of the Grand Lodge: This era is the Gethsemane of the nations. IVlay this struggle prove to be the Armageddon of international strife. The po,\vers of evil would crucify the freedom of mankind on the cross of anlbition, conquest and greed. Our nation, seeking no material gain, is freely offering her choicest possessions on the altar of :world liberty. The firstlings of her flock, the choicest of her young men, with cheerfulness and enthusiasm, have sprung to arms to meet the threat of universal subjugation at the hands of hordes of Huns in their mad onslaught on civilization. Patriots extol the Stars and Stripes, but even luore sacred to every true American is the flag of service, na'\v seen in almost every home and lodge ill the land. The stars of ,vhite on the blue field of Old Glory represent

1919.]

sovereign states. The stars of blue on the field of white in the service flag stand for human lives, ready for service or sacrifice. "Dear little flag in the ·window there, Hung with a tear and a woman's prayer Child of Old Glory, born with a starOh, what a wonderful flag you are!" Our country is not only offering her millions of sons, but pouring out her billions of treasure to save the world from the tyranny of Autocracy. In return nothing is desired but the consciousness of having helped to make the world a decent place in which to live. In this great work Ivrasonry has no small part. Members of lodges in vast numbers have joined the colors and are either "over there," or are in camps training for overseas service. It has been my great privilege to loosen· the reins, heretofore firmly held, and by dispensation enable many soldier boys to bow at our altar before embarking on their great mission abroad. Masonry in Illinois and elsewhere has shown its devotion to Freedom's cause in providing large funds by free and voluntary contribution for th~ com..: fort of those in camps here, those in· need abroad and to care for their loved ones left behind. Without seeking rivalry with the Red Cross and the Young 11en's Christian Association, the world's two greatest humane institutions, our fraternity has been ardent in their support.

The Grand Master makes tender allusions to .the "Spirits Depa.rte{f,". LODGE CHANGES.

Seven lodges were dedicated, eleven were duly constituted and seven were instituted. Two corner stones were laid by the Grand Master. AS TO FRANCE.

The Grand Master advised that action with reference to French Masonry be deferred for the present and the committee wisely endorsed the suggestion. (Good. ) As to an Army Lodge in France, the Grand Master wisely says: Requests have been made for authority for the organization of army lodges in Fra'llce. I felt impelled to decline to grant these petitions. There is so much danger involved in this that I did not feel like taking the responsibility. One of the essentials of entrance into Masonry is that of character. Many men enter into the service of their country and make good soldiers who would not

Appendi.1:.

[Sept.

make good Masons. The uncertainties of determining the fitness of men are so apparent that there is no 'security against the admission of the un,vorthy. These armY-lnade Masons would return to their homes and would be recognized as members of the craft.

This and other items in the address accentuate the fact that Illinois and Missouri are not only "in touch" as to territory, but also as to sentiment, in much! The Grand 1faster- reports this as a record-breaking year in the history of this Grand Lodge, which is heartily endorsed by the committee. The t\VO Masonic Homes are reported in excellent condition and a bequest of $8,000 is reported for Sullivan Home from Bro. Ozias Stotts, of Mattoon, Illinois. GERl\IAN LANGUAGE LODGES.

We quote the Grand l\1aster-in part: Fully realizing the great danger to all our institutions by the German propaganda, I took up \vith the nine German speaking lodges in Illinois the advisability of a change to the medium of speech in America. I had a consultation with the masters of the German lodges in Chicago. A second meeting was then held. At this all the masters, \vardens, secretaries and most of the past masters of the lodges in the "Slate, working in the German language, were present. The elective gra'nd officers were called in consultation and with the exception of Brother Goddard were all present at this time. After full consideration, I was gratified to find that six of the nine lodges accepted the suggestion for a change willingly and cheerfully. The disappointment, however, was that there were three recalcitrants. They refused and thus made further exercise of executive power necessary. I have no doubt that the rank and file of the membership of these lodges are in line with the great majority of those in this country who were born in Gern1any or are the descendants of such. In the present world crisis I felt that \ve, as l\fasons, should be in thorough accord with the American spirit and the attitude of the government. Those who have come from foreign land should without hesitation accept our language, customs and spirit and be \villing to conforln to all patriotic requiren1ents. This should hereafter be a one-language country. Those ~rho come from abroad to our shores should do so willing to become .c\.mericans in all respects the same as those of American birth. If they accept the protection and enjoy the privileg'es guaranteed by our country they should be willing to becon1e component parts of this republic.

The Grand 路l\faster thereupon issued an edict to the effect that after the second meeting in August every lodge should conduct its

~4 PPendi.,t~.

1919.]

work in the English language. One lodge still declining to obey, even after a visit from the Grand Master, its charter ~ras revoked, but the Grand Master, assured of their loyalty, recommended its restoration on their submission. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE.

The ample space, and unlimited in speech, our good Bro. Darrah gives us a report covering 294 pages, and its length is not the only evidence of value. Every page is worthy of commendation. From his Fore\v'ord, we quote: Now that the last grand jurisdiction has been reviewed and the printer has the copy, the writer is more than ever convinced that all the best in Freemasonry is not centered in the Grand Lodge of Illinois, but that throughout the world there are other grand lodges \vhich are upholding the traditions and standards of Freemasonry and that there are big, warm-hearted, generous, intelligent Masons who are giving the best that is in them toward the advancement of the principles of Freemasonry, honestly believing that wherever Freelnasonry thrives and prospers the community is n1ade better, charity inculcated, and manhood sustained.

And his Introduction follo\ving is so good we would be glad to quote it in full. We must give some extracts to show its high quality: The year that has just closed has broug'ht about one change \vhich, regardless of the war and its effects, makes for genuine Freen1asonry. In Illinois and New Jersey, lodges conducting their business and performing the ritual in the German language were ordered to at once become English speaking or to surrender their charters. This action v~ras inspired, not so much because of prejudice against the German people in this country and their language, as it was to prevent tIle segregation of peoples of one nationality under the guise of Freemasonry.

He cannot understand the great and unreasonable delay in the publication of Proceedings, which is so common amo~g Grand Lodges. And as to Dispensations, he says: One thing which has impressed the writer more than any other in the review of various proceedings is the utter senselessness of the dispensation habit, which seems to have fastened itself on all ?;r-and lodges, . L. \. dispensation is merely the means \vhereby a grand Piaster permits hin1self to violate the law and to escape without censure. "\That is the sense of having constitutions and by-laws if their provisions are to be made subject to the路 will and caprice of one man?

Appen.dix.

[Sept.

He is sometimes severe: As one peruses the proceedings of the various grand lodges he becomes more and more impressed with the idea that the dectsion habit, indulged in by most grand masters, is not only unnecessary, but savors a great deal of personal egoism. There seems to be an idea that every grand master, before retiring from bffice, should make a fe\v decisions, in order that there may be left to posterity some monument to his departed glory. A decision as rendered by a grand master is n1erely a personal expression of opinion.

••

To all of which, we say: Amen! Our Brother is kind to Missouri over some five pages. How.. ever, he criticised, as many have done before him, the publication of the report of Committee on Appeals and Grievances, believing it unfit for publication. He remarks that we accord to IllinQis "two and a half pages". His Grand Lodge was entitled to far more, but unhappily \ve are restricted in space.

Albert W. Funk· hauser of Evansville. From this we give a few paragraphs. After calling attention to the fact that the Grand' Lodge has completed its Centennary, etc., etc., he said, in part: The l\1:asonic Lodge is not a rich man's club. We "meet upon the level and part upon the square." Before the Masonic altar there is no aristocracy but that of Right; no nobility but that of Manhood. Masonry regards no man for his worldly wealth or honors; the internal and not the external qualifications of a man rend.er him worthy to be a Mason.

The l\rIost Worshipful Grand Lodge of the Ancient and Honorable Fraternity of Free and Accepted lVlasons of the State of Indiana convened in ninety-seventh annual meeting in the Grand Lodge hall of the Masonic Temple in the City of Indianapolis at 10 o'clock a. m., Tuesday, the 28th day of l\:1ay, A. D. 1918, A. L. 591.8, being the fourth Tuesday in l\tJ:ay, one hundred first year of the Grand Lodge, and Vilas opened in Ample Form. The address of the Grand lVIaster is lengthy, covering 46 pages, but Indiana is a great State, and to this he calls attention in one of the opening paragraphs. Thus: This session of the Grand Lodge marks the close of a full century of l\:Iasonic history in Indiana under separate jurisdiction. It has been an era of ,vonderful development in the natural resources of the State. Indiana, being the Palestine of the United States, the highway of commerce between the East and the 'Vest, has been a favored daughter of the Union. Her people, ahnost .v.rholly of Anglo-Saxon or Celtic descent, are and alVv"ays have been of the best type of . A .merican citizenship. They proved their valor and patriotisln in the great Civil vVar, and in the past two :years have proven that a democracy of the Twentieth Century has lost nothing of the virile courage of pioneer days.

Four lodges were constituted during the year by duly appointed proxies. The Grand Master referred a Dispensation to create a ne\v lodge in the City of Terre Haute for reasons carefully stated. He refers to the fact that the per capita dues to the Grand Lodge of 25 cents per member are wholly inadequate, and recommends that 15 cents be added, nlaking the rate 40 cents instead. The Grand lVlaster refers to the Washington and Ne\v York ~1asonic .Conferences, discussing the incidents and work thereof at

COJ\Il\1:UNICATION.

Before opening the Grand Lodge the usual program of cereIl10nial procession, address of \velcome, response, music, etc., etc., after which the Grand Lodge \vas opened in Ample Form. The entire number of lodges chartered since the organization of the Grand Lodge is 621, of vlhich 92 are extinct; 529 remain, and of these 375 were represented at this Communication. Besides these representatives there was a large attendance of pernlanent members and Grand and Past Grand Officers, aggregating a total of 537 in attendance on the session. The address of the Grand Master indicates a well-cultivated mind, as 'well as a Masonic heart. It rings true in every paragraph. We give a few excerpts: Brethren of the Grand Lodge-Tidings from the East: Yesterday, it seems you ordered 111e to resume labor, and today I an1 before you in answer to your call: "How goes the hour?" The high twelve of a mOlnentous year is striking in tones that sunll110n all to the most profound attention. The achieven1ents of hun1anity for n101'e than a thousand years are in jeopardy. T,venty. seven nations are pitted in the strife, and the prize is liberty. A ttila the Hun, kno,vn as the Scourge of God, is now reincarnated in. the Kaiser, w"ho would inlpose the basest serfdom of the darlt ages 011 the t"wentieth century. To prevent such peonage more than two 111illions of our o,vn citizens have gone frQ111 the paths of peace to the trenches of war. There is issuing from our lodges a continuous line of their young men that liberty may continue to grow, blossom and bless. Truly it is the most momentous year in the annals of till1e and as ,ve gather here today we are bov,'-ed down with the sense of our responsibility. Let us consider ways and n1eans to do the good still within our power, ever reluembering that he who does his bit best shall be g-reatest alTIOng us. J

The Grand 11aster congratulates the Grand Lodge on the rapid increase in members, citing the fact that in the past year while the population of the State has grown only 5 per cent Fremasonry has increased 102 per cent! And there are 26 Freemasons to 1,000 of .population. The Grand Master also congratulates the Grand Lodge on the satisfactory condition of the treasury.

FRENCH FREEl\IASONRY.

The Grand l\IIaster n1akes an exhaustive and interesting plea for the recognition of French Freemasonry, covering some twelve pages, citing dOCUIllents; history, etc., and concludes \vith part of the address and the following action of the Grand Lodge of Louisiana, to \vit: "As a great Inany of the Grand Lodges of Anlerica have subrnitted, through resolutions, a Inodus vivendi between A"lnerican and 11~rench 1\1asons pernlitting unrestricted fraternization ,vith the ll1embers of the several Grand Bodies of France, let us go a step further, being true to ourselves and to the institution of which \ve are members, and resun1e once and for all free and fraternal intercourse 路with the Grand Orient and the Grand Lodge of France, leaving time and results to prove the rectitude of our line of action." "In response 1,500 delegates rose to theU' feet and voted unani11lously"'To resume fraternal relations 'with the Grand Orient of France. "'To recognize the Grand Lodge of Fra'llce. "'To acquiesce in the doctrine of concurrent jurisdiction "overseas," and reaffirrn the doctrine of exclusive jurisdiction on this . side.' "

And the Grand lVlaster closes his appeal as follo\vs: Thus, nly brethren, I bring the question to you~to I(Hva. sincerely urg'e and ferv(~ntly hope that our Comnlittee on Itecognition of Foreign Grand Bodies 'v ill bring in a report 路which 'will ('uable you to keep step ,vith Louisiana. Conling at this time, it \vould be the 1110st signal service you could render hurnani ty. The (}rand Loclge and the Grand Orient a're and have been for over one hundred years in actual charge of the 1\'1asonry of France-the de facto governnlents there in all nlatters l\Iasonic. They not only need our Inilitary help no"\v, but our fraternal hand as \-vell-it will be timely team 1\"ork. In the ;vords of Kipling: "It ain't the guns nor armanlent, Nor funds that they can pay. But the close co-operation r.rhat 11lakes thenl win the day. It ain't the individuals Nor the army as a ,vhole, But the everlastin' team work Of ~yery bloolnin' soul."

The vie\vs of the Grand l\1aster \vere sustained by the Grand Lodge and full recognition was extended to the Grand Orient of

France! The Grand Master refers "with respect to the Grand Lodge of l\1issouri as to its la'w on physical qualifications, and also to the systenl of districting adopted by that Grand Lodge. (Evidently, as s11o\vn above, he did not approve our action on French IVlasonry!)

FRATEB.NAL

CORRESPONDENCl~.

The Grand Master and the Grand Lodge differ \videly frOI11 S0111e others "vho either dispense altogether \vith a, report on Correspondence, or else limit the writer in the space occupied-and in one instance, at least, as to the wa:y he shall occupy the space allotted him. Read the following: An10ng Grand Lodges generally their Reports on Fraternal Correspondence have CaIne to be the c1on1inating feature of the volume of their annual Pr~oceeclings. The l\Iasonic leaders of each jurisdiction have CODle to look on these reports as a clearing house of l\Ia,sonic thought and activities-a sort of l\'Iasonic 111irror in "thieh each Inas~ see hilnself as others see hin1. vVithou t the daily ne\",,8papers one could hardly expect to keep abreast of the Inarch of events-it's the ne\vs that fo1'nls the link bet\veen peoples, states al1d nations. So it is that these Correspondence Reports are a sort of a cable tow' bet\veen jurisdictions, along 'which pass the currents of IHasonic thought, enabling each to appl:y the corrective of publicit).' to local situations. Among" these masters of the scribbler's round tablE' IO'wa has al\vays ranked hig"h, due to the literary abilit~~ and selective skill of the conunittee as ,veIl as to the readable fornl in "vhieh the Grand Secretary presents reports. l\Iay it thus continue and in1prove until it Inay be said of the con1mittee as of Solomon Pease: "Under this sad and under these trees Lieth the body of Solornon Pease; He is not in this hole, but only his padRe shelled out his soul and ,vent up to God."

This is further exenlplified in the fact that our good Brother Louis Block utilizes his opportunity to the extent of some 328 pages-possibly the longest on record-and certainly one of the 'best. He cOluplinlents lVIissouri with eleven pages, containing ITlallY extracts. His cOluments are jUdicious and kind and his notice of the Correspondent is appreciated. Long live Bro. Block.

A 'VISE UTTERANCE.

The Grand Master calls attention to oui- annual tobacco bill of $1,200,OOO,OOO-not especially to criticise its use, but, in effect, to suggest that in its use there should be a gentlemanly regard for the rights and feelings of others. A STRIKING THOUGHT.

Finally it is an inlpUed obligation-one that is taught in every degree-and is recognized by the profane as well as by the initiate, that it is the internal and not the external qualities that reC0111111end one as tit to be made a' l\fason. Ho"\vever natural that supposition may be, yet it is erroneo.us in Iowa. If Christ Himself ,vere on earth ag'ain and had the misfortune to lose a hand and should then come to us recommended by the other melnbers of the Holy Trinity, He "\vould be turned away as unfit, to be made a l\lason in Iovla. I beseech you, my brethren, not to depart fronl this comll1unication until these implied oblig'ations are redeemed.

Nevertheless, and not\vithstanding, let us not open the door too 'wide! vVith no l\1asonic Home, Iowa does not forget the needy. Her charitable distribution last year was some $12,000, with a further provision for the future. Good. .A.DDRESS OF BRo'rHER LAFAYETTE YOUNG.

From the excellent address we copy the following: Germany has done enough in the direction of 'wrongs to the United StatE~s to cause our people to suspect her in every direction. I"rhe rapes, ruins and nlurders which the Prussians have comlnitted ought to cause us to refuse all relationship with the Prussian empire for at least fifty years, if not fOl' all time. It surprises us to kno'w ho'w stupid we have been during the pas't fifty or more years in regard to the insidious work of Germany; h.ow she has invaded our schools, colleges, churches, and undertaken in all ways to transplant Germany into the heart of our own country. Our people are slovt to suspect. vV'e are trustful instead of distrustful. It has been asserted that in this country there is a sucker born every minute. This is true, and I believe that during the past fifty years he has been twins. It is only in the past six months that our people have begun to estimate Gernlany and the German purpose for. 'what they are. Germany is great in war because she has devoted her life to it. She has so narro'\ved the lives of her o'wn people as to put the souls out and the soul elenlent is the only element worth while. Gerrnany is the champion murderer of mothers and babies. It was

thought that she had worked her ferocity to its fill in Belgium, but she continues on the sanle line. She does not hesitate to make peace with Russia and then to shoot the poor Russians in the back. It would be impossible to name a crime that the Gerlnans have not committed since inaugurating this V路lar. vVe condemn the kidnapers who stole a baby from Springfield, 1V1o., and want to pull the rope by which they shall be hanged. Therefore, why not condemn the German emperor for the murder and mutilation of all the thousands of babies which have been destroyed in Belgium, Poland, Northern France, ROU111ania and elsewhere?

Gain, The Masonic Territory of the Grand Lodge of Ireland is com.. prised, or divided, into fifteen districts, thirteen of which are in Ireland itself, one in South Africa and one in New Zealand. As nearly as we can gather, there are 513 lodges, but the number of members is nowhere indicated. The Proceedings, contained in a small pamphlet, is principally occupied with the address of the Deputy Grand l\iaster and the Deputy Grand Secretary, the chief in each case seeming to be entirely ornamental. This, bo"wever, is not unusual with foreign Grand Lodges. We extract briefly from the first address: The Grand Lodge of England is to be congratulated in having at this interesting epoch in its history a Grand l\1aster, H. R. H. the Duke of Connaught, whose popularity a1110ngst all classes, civil and military, has rarely been equaled and never excelled. Irish Freell1asons feel proud that the Grand l\IJ:aster of English Freenlasons is also Grand ~1aster of Irish IV[asonic Knight Templars. rrhis is another linl\: connecting Freelnasonry in England \vith the Order in Ireland.

The Bi~CentenniaI Celebration of the Grand Lodge of England is noted at length, among other comments it being stated that 8,000 Freemasons were present in Albert Hall. Referring to the entrance of the United States into the war, the Grand Secretary assures the brethren that victory for the

Appendi~~r.

Allies is certain, and that before .the year elapses the end 路will conle and the right \vill have conquered. The distinguished dead are tenderly reUlel1lbered. The necessity of increased benevolence is strongly argued, although the various benevolent .and charity funds are reported in fair condition for the ordinary, but not for the extraordinary, conditions now existing. IVULITARY LODGES.

Referring to these, the Grand Secretary reports that several find it difficult to keep up their regular work on account of the war,\vhich incidentally reveals a fact not generally kno路wn, i. e.~ that 111ilital'y lodges have for S0111e tillle been a feature \vith that Jurisdiction. NE\V LODGES.

Seven warrants \vere granted for the creation of lle\V lodges during the year. That ancient nuisance-the "Chain Letter"-is conc1enlned in strong terms. It is gratifying to note the spirit of unswerving loyalty to the constituted authorities and to the Allies in the great \var. Evidently there \vere no slackers and no draft resisters anlong the fraternity in Ireland.

'\vas a model in nluch. Its brevity is commendable. Covering only S0111e t\velve pages, it yet contains a fair report of the acts and incidents of the adnlinistration and presents this in chaste and even form. Two lodges chartered at the last Annual COlllnlUl1ication \vere duly constituted during the year and a Dispensation issued for the creation of one ne";v lodge. The Grand 1\1aster reports over 700 Special Dispensations issued during the year because of ,val' emergencies, 'i. e., 111en called.to the colors already elected or applying for the degrees \vith insufficient time. Ho\vever, for these Special Dispensations the Slun of $:3,300 ,vas collected, \vhich to our mind is a good thing. Let lodges or individuals pay for Special Dispensations iIf any ordinary case. It \voulcl decrease the nUlnber and thereby lessen the labors of the Grand Master and Grand Secretary, strengthen the treasury and also free the Grand l\'laster from nlany appeals to ignore the law.

BACKBONE!

The Grand J\1aster, finding that the la\v ,vas being often violated by conferring degrees on Sunday and also conferring degrees \vithout authority-and this continuing in spite of warnings-suspended the charters of t7z:irty-thr'ee lodges! All these, ho'\vever, expressing regret and pronlising to obey the la,v in the future, had their charters restored and the Grand Master reports that there \vas little evidence of any ill-feeling over the matter. 1vVe are glad the Grand lVfaster had the couarge necessary to nleet this issue, but Vle. are amazed-yes, anlazed to know such a number of lodges,

any'where, should so wantonly and deliberately ignore and violate

the la"w of the Grand Lodge and the law of God! Personally, we \vould not visit any lodge knowing it to be guilty of this infraction of Divine and human law, and we believe the great nlajority of the craft vdll echo this sentiment! :MORE BACKBONE!

The Grand l\faster positively declined to permit membei's of Kansas路 lodges to visit or fraternize 路with French IVfasous, stating that the Grand Lodge of Kansas is not in fraternal relations \vith any Masonic body in France. We think, however, that he may possibly be in error in stating that all the Grand Lodges in France are "atheistic". The Grand Master -speaks thus as to statistics:

"\V'e have added to our luembership in this Grand Jurisdiction during the past year '1,949; 897 of our n1elnbership have died; 682 have dimittecl; 315 have been suspended, and three have been expelled, leaving a net gain in the nlelubership of our Order in this Grand Jurisdiction of 3,045 for the year, by far the largest net g'ain in anyone year since this Grand 1'fasonic Jurisdiction \vas established. This gain, representing the young, vigorous and intellectual rnnnhood of our State, a. larg'e nUlnber of whom have proved their qualities as desirable material for our great brotherhood by offering on their country'S altar the last supreme sacrifice of devotion in the cause of democratic institutions and human liberty.

This \vas held in the Scottish Rite Cathedral, in the City of New Orleans, beginning February 3rd, 1919, at 2 p. m. Opened in Ample Form with prayer by the Grand Chaplain. M. W. Bro. W. Lawrence Wilson, Grand Master of Mississippi, ,vas introduced and \velcomed to ~he Grand Lodge, to 'which the distinguished visitor responded in pleasant terms. All the Grand Officers \vere present, besides seven Past Grand Masters and a quorum of the lodges. The Annual Address was voluminous, covering many points of interest to the craft in that Grand Jurisdiction, especially with regard to the work done during the year. He recalled the dispensation of a lodge created, as we understand it, only to aid the other lodges in Alexandria in conferring the multitude of degrees requested by other Grand Jurisdictions for soldiers at the nearby camp. He compensated this, however, by issuing a Dispensationwhich \vould seem to meet the exigency:

The result of the visit "vas that I issued ;;t dispensation permitting Oliver Lodge and Curtis T. Hines Lodg'e to initiate, pass and raise as n1any candidates at one and the same time as could be conveniently and properly handled, to confer the' second section of the 1\L 1\1:. Degree, when n10re, than one Fellow Craft was raised by the lodge at the same comn1unication, upon all the candidates but the last in a summary manner, so-called, and to confer more tha.n one degree upon candidates at one and the same communication, all the above to apply to work for other Lodges only. I am glad to report that all requests for degree work made by other

jurisdictions have been con1plied ,vith, vlith very little delay, although since the last session of the Grand Lodge, Oliver Lodge No. 84 has conferred 368 degrees by courtesy, and Curtis T. Hines Lodge No. 317, 6·1 degrees;

We nlake no conlment on this whatever. The sanle or similar procedure ,vas ,vitnessed in lllany lodges in the United States. Still 'we fear it ,vill be lllany years before Freenlasonry fully recovers from the excitement of the Great \Var and the consequences to our Order. The Grand lVIaster "extended the right hand of fello\vship to the Grand Orient of France" and adds that "a nunlber of other Grand Lodges have follo\ved our lead, etc." "Ve surmise, ho\veve1', that there are also "a number of Grand Lodges" that \vill not rec,. ognize the Grand Orient, ~rith its present l\1:asonic (?) platform. The Grand lVIaster granted many minor Dispensations-and refused other requests, for hich \ve commend him. The rulings of the Grand l\1:aster, though sOllletimes technical, were generally approved. The Grand lVlaster attended the Conference of Grand JYlasters at Cedar Rapids, Io\va, and \vas evidently synlpathetic \'lith the \york of that nleeting. He quotes extensively from the addresses delivered and gives the plan of associated \vork as there agreed upon. He also introduced and read a Inost interesting address delivered in the Grand Lodge of Louisiana in 1858-nlore than sixty years ago-and on motion this address "vas ordered printed \vith the Proceedings. We give a single quotation:

GRAND~rASTER,

which followed, is a lllodel in its brevity, occupying only some nine pages, and yet containing all necessary to a recital of the acts and experiences of the administration. A fe"v extracts may not be amiss: The year past has been a year of conflict and suffering for the ,vhole w<?rld; "war is raging in the fairest parts of Europe and our o\vn beloved country is now engaged in the struggle, taking its place beside the nations that are striving to Si)cure liberty and justice for all peoples.

I have felt it Illy duty in this crisis to offer every facility for young men \vho \vere offering themselves for service as defenders of the just rights of humanity and to fight the country's battles to beconle menlbers of our fraternity, and I have granted an unusual number of dispensations for receiving and acting upon applications ÂŁ-\1' membership in less than the regular tinle to accommodate such caJes, feeling that the Lodges\vhere the candidates resided vvere fully competent to act upon short notice and to determine "\vhether the soldier or sailor applying was worthy of the honors of ~laÂ sonry. In the matter of 1Iilitary Lodges, 'which has been under discussion this year, I took ground in opposition to granting charters for such Lodges believing that it "\vould be a dangerous departure from l\ilasonic usage. The gTeat majority of the Grand Masters in this country held to the sanle opinion. 1

The Grand Master pays the usual tribute to the dead, makes the usual appGintments, grants a number of Dispensations for, ordinary reasons~ makes a few decisions and expresses appreciation of the honor conferred in his election as Grand Master. The Committee on Returns report that the gain for the year is 598, or 1.84 per cent, an increase over last year, when .the net gain in membership was 527. The death rate is 18.96 to a thousand, an increase over last year's returns. The average lodge nlembership is 157.53. GRAND GBIENT OF FRANCE.

\vinc1. The Teuton is pitted ag'ainst civilization, endeavoring to u'phold the barbarous doctrine that lVIight is Right, in keeping vlith Neitzsche's enunciation that what we recognize as the binding pow'er of the Sermon on the IHount is the greatest obstacle in the rmth of progressive civilization, because it is contrary to that biological la\v that gives don1inion to the physically strong. ",Ve hold that there is something luore mighty than n1ight, more enduring than the thirst for blood and dominion. This fundamental of our faith ,ve 'will defend ,vith the last ounce of our treasure and the last drop of our blood. The war, to be won in ,Europe, must be strenuously supported here. Freemasonry, in this tiule of national stress, \vhen our very civilization and frpedolll is at stake, should stand out in no uncertain \yay as influence for nlaintaining not only the spirit of our soldiers and sailors at the front, but also the n10rale and sustaining pO'wer of the people here.

The Grand l\Iaster recites at length an incident 'which convinces us that for patience his name nlight almost be enrolled with that of Job. The I\1aster of a certain lodge refused to obey the request of the Grand Master, acting under orders of the Grand Lodge, and the Grand l\1aster, 'with unmatched s\veetness of spirit, '''Tote several ldnd letters, had him intervie'wed by District Officials, and even sought an interview personally, but to all persuasion and argument the "Worshipful Master" in question continued deaf and obdurate. Suspended at last, the lodge added to the offense by requesting his restoration! Such ,vonderful consideration (?) on the part of a Grand Master has not before come to our notice-and ~oe trust ~onl not. 'in the f1lt1lre! To slacken the reins of discipline is to injure the prestige and do harm to any Grand Lodge and to all lodges befor~ whom such example is set. The committee "sustainecl" the Grand l\Iaster, with the mild hope that no prejudice might result to any lodge, or Mason! The Grand lVlaster, anlong other fine paragraphs, gives out, the following: Reduced to func1aluentals, it seen1S to. me, the main object of our fraternity is to give the individual' member increased' oppor-

Appendi::c.

tunity for self-development, self-realization and service. If, _ for any reason, this object is lost sight of or obscured, our institution has no real place in a ,vorld such as exists today. ThIs purpose cannot be fulfilled by the nlere performance of ceremonies and the recitation of rituals. 'Ve nlust have a practical application of our truths and morals in social uplifting work. Unless ,ve can do this, thinking people will have no time for us. The call of the hour is for service. vVe cannot hold ourselves withdrawn in the chill and sterile region of mere formalism. \Ve cannot neglect the great currents of thought and action that flOW around us. vVe nlust justify ourselves ane'W with innuluerable proofs of our humanitarian mission. The nlere survival of an organization is not irrefutable proof of its value. vVe were never meant for an ornamental tree. Our fraternity was planted to bear fruit. If, in the days to come, it brings forth nothing but ornamental leaves, it will either die of self-disgust, or the axe 'will be laid at its root. If, in the opinion of mankind, the 11asonic fraternity does not justify itself as a constructive po"ver in this constructive age, it will gradually subside into that unfathomable oblivion ,vhere so many other institutions have been engulfed. Days are coming when institutions such as ours will have to stand for something, or stand aside.

One new lodge was created by Dispensation. The treasury seelns in good condition. Several benevolent funds are creditably large and exhibit of some ninety odd thousands raised and in the treasury for all pur~oses indicates business management and liberality. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE.

The worthy chairman of this committee gives us no review, but a bri~f report on Foreign Relations and later a discussion of l\1asonry in genera], "\\iith occasional. allusions to other Grand Lodges or l\1asonic incidents and principles, as understood by him. The paper is good-of course-but is not a report on Correspondence, as we understand it, yet it is no doubt in accordance 'with the wishes of the Grand Lodge and no one should object. Certainly we dQ not.

A splendid picture of the lamented Tholnas J.

The exercises in both cases were most impressive, and the addresses, especially at the Inemorial service, 11arch 12th, ,vere of the highest order. The character of Grand Master Shryock was a most interesting one. He held the office of Grand lVlaster continuously for nearly thirtythree years, and was probably the largest asset in the 1fasonic 'wealth of l\laryland. While there are only 117 lodges in l\1aryland, yet the last created is numbered 212, indicating that nearly 100 lodges have gone out of existence either by consolidations, surrender or arrest of charter.

The Proceedings of the Grand Lodge of lVlassachusetts came to us in a bulky volume consisting of some 672 pages, which are well occupied 'with a careful detail of the doings of, the several Special, Quarterly and Annual Communications, all of which is full of interest, especially to the members of that Jurisdiction. The several addresses of the Grand Master are practical and pertinent, without exception. In the one delivered at the First Quarterly Communication he earnestly warns against proselyting, quoting Mackey at length on that subject. This w'arning would be ,vell timed, as we fear in every Grand Jurisdiction, for as we see scores, hundreds of young men, associates in business and socially, following each other into the fraternity, we cannot but suspect that undue influence has been exercised. Moreover, the Grand -Master continues, wisely, to insist that "it is the duty of every Master, as \vell as others, to instruct the novice in the underlying principles of our Order, that he may appreciate the high possibilities of Masonic manhood and strive to attain them. Would that this exhortation might be as wide-reaching as it is needed! For, per.. sonally, we have not in a long period seen any indication of work in this direction.

perfectly rendered. The offices in the lodge are usually conceded to the one whose memory enables him to render the Ritual with some abilit J and frequently the highest place is held by one who has little appreciation or kno,vledge of the greater lessons of Ma~ sonry. And, even if otherwise prepared to instruct and train, the lodge is generally too busy "making Masons" to teach those al~ ready received. The Grand l\1aster also strongly condemns the burial service, styling it cold, formal and cOlnfortless, and at that session a ne'w service is presented and adopted. Other Grand Lodges might well follo\v this example. At the closing service flon.

An Emergent Grand Lodge was held for the purpose of dedicating the ne'w l\1asonic Temple in the City of Mexico, January 1st, 1918, presided over by 'Vayne A. White, as Grand l\1:aster. The oration by R. VV. Bro. Sydney Ulfelder was of high order and contains matter of historic interest, part of which we copy: In 1824 the Grand Lodge of New York chartered the follo\-ving five lodges in the City of IVIexico: Tolerancia No. 450; Lux lVIexicana No. 451; Rosa IVIexicana No. 452; Federalista No. 453, and Independencia No. 454.

These five lodges then fornled a York Rite Grand Lodge under name of "Gran Logia Nacional lVlexicana." It chartered later other 1ocl.g;es, but o\;~ring- to revolutionary disturbances, sonle\vhat similar to thO,3{~ afflicting the country at present, also foreign ","'aI's, the existence of this Grand Lodge was fitful up to the On1e of the Prench Intervention. r.rhe predoluinance of the Catholic Party in lVIexican politics, and the natural suspicion of all secret societies, IH'I~"ented the open gro\vth of l\Iasonry, so that at this time practically all the lodges chartereel by the original Grand Lodge had ceased to exist and the Grand Lodge "was really but a nanle. The one exception to .this condition 路was La Union Fraternal Lodge, located in the City of l\rIexico, with a melubership of about 200 and conlposed luOStly of foreigners of various nationalities. ').'Ihis lodge, so far as we kno"v, \vas kept open continuously and \vas all that l'enndned of the original l\Iexican Grand Lodge. It ,vas sharply divided into I?rench, Gern1an and IVIexican members, with a snlall sprinkling of .1"-n1ericans. In 1860 and for some years thereafter its l\Iaster ,vas Brother James C. Lohse, who had been raised a l\Iaster l\:Iason in the St~Lte of Pennsylvania. The ,vork of this lodge ,vas carried on j n English, Spanish, French and Gern1an languages, it being in reality foul' lodges, but using one charter. Brother Lohse, \vho is still living, ,vas a reu1arkable luan, presiding as l\,!Iaster over the separate 111eetings of the lodge, 'working in the four languages. In 18H5, under the guidance of Brother Cunha Reis, an accredited representative of the Suprenle Council of the Southern .Jurisdiction, Brother Lohse vtas induced to divide this lodge Union Fratel'iJal into ,vhat he clailns \vere its original parts, n1aking thereby three separate lodges, one, "Union l~l'aterl1al", r\Jvorking in Spanish; one, "Enlules d'Hira111," ,vorking in French, and one, "Eintracht," w'orking in Gern1an. These three lodges then constituted themselves into a Grand Lodge, chtin1ing they were the original Grand Lodge of 1824, \vhieh they nalued Grand Lodge "Valle de l\IIexico." This Gra,nd Lodge has been in active and continuous existence fronl 1865 to date. From this, after many trials and tri bulations, was evolved ~ts pr(,sent York Gi'and Lodg-e of ~l'Iexieo in 1910, vv"hen the Granel L(:.dge adopted a constitution 1110deled after the American Grand Jurisdictions. At the next annual conl111unieation in 1911 this Grand Lodge Valle de l\Texico adopted by unaniluous vote a resolution making its official language English and ehangi ng its name to York Grand L'odge of l\1:exico, and tonight you see us established in our ne,v qu::trters, better and strong'er than ever to carryon the 'work and to inculcate the n10ral ideals as laid do\vn to us by Yorl\: Ri-te l\!aSlJnl'S',

'were represented and nine Grand Representatives answered to their names. One lodge was instituted and two were lost. On these points the Grand Master thus spoke: Regardless of the loss of two lodges during this year, I think that we have, under the circumstances, nlade a wonderful showing. April 5th, 1917, we had' a membership of 1,131. Since that time we have initiated 14, passed 43, raised 48, affiliated 14,. reinstated 14; total, 1,198. Lost by death, 18; suspended, 37.

Complying with your wishes, I instituted Solomon Lodge U. D. February 2nd, 1918, at 4 p. n1., and I am pleased to advise you that they are deeply interested in their new adventure and I think that they will grow very steadily after they have been granted a charter.

The Grand Lodge forbade under pain of expulsion the soliciting a proxy from any officer of a lodge, and enacted, further, that "if the lodge does notnlake a selection: the Committee on Credentials will fill in the name of some brother on the proxy list as sent in." This interdict reveals a condition in that Grand LO,dge of unusual character. Possibly, however, nothing unworthy in nature. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE.

Our esteemed Brother gives a most excellent report; gIVIng to Missouri a friendly page, although he criticises the term "Reballot" as used by Grand Master Higbee, and regrets that a Grand Master of Missouri should grant a Dispensation for such purpose. He notes that his Grand Lodge is not reviewed in our Report on Correspondence. The reason, of course, is that the report of the York Grand Lodge of Ivlexico \vas not before us, which 've re路 gretted.

THE SEVENTY-FOURTH ANNUAL

was held, beginning l\JIay 28th, 1918, in the City of Grand Rapids, with a total registered attendance of 661'. The Grand l\[aster introduces his address thus modestly: For the seventy-fourth consecutive year a Grand 1\faster stands before the Grand Lodge of IVIichigan, rendering an account of his administration, pointing out the few small things he has acconlplished, his heart filled with路 regret that the splendid structurE's, the magnificent buildings and the spacious temples of Masonic good he had hoped to erect are. not even begun. A year ago my keen,.. est fe~ling was not of joyous pride in the distinguished honor of being Grand Master, but was a sobering sense of the responsibility assumed. Today, my keenest feeling is not of jo:\rous pride in what has been accomplished, but is, rather, regret that the achievements have been so few in proportion to the opportunities presented al1.1 to the hopes I had.

and continues in a strain of rare and lofty sentiment for several pages, which ""e "'ould be glad to copy entire but for \vant of space. Referring to the war and its aftermath, he says: \Vhen the war is over, many of' our brethren 'will come bach. bruised and battered and brol{en. To care for even one who is totally disabled will tax to the utn10st the individual resources of n10re than two-thirds of the lodges of this State.

The object nlay be altogether \vorthy, but the conduct not suited to the dignity- of the Order. He Ill0st properly condelllns the idea of a lodge indulging in or perlnitting a raffle under its auspices. And he speaks in plain terulS of the propriety of l\fasolls hav~ ing no connection 'with any order or society 'which is not l\'Iasonic and yet admits none but I\lasons. To· \vhich \ve say, Amen! He states that he has no authority to create a ~ilitary lodge. Good-very good!

The Passing Grand Master greets us on the initial page of the Proceedings in full regilnental costull1e, a striking conlnlent on the tirnes through 'which ,ve have passed in the last fe\v years. The Grand Lodge l11et in its Sixty-sixth Annual COlllnlullication in the City of St. Paul, January 15th, 1919, the Grand Secretary reporting' that there ,vere present 17 Grand Officers, 19 pernlanent Illenlbers and -304 representatives of 204 of the 270 chartered lodges now on the roll. The luinutes of the last Annual COlllffiunication ,vere corrected-although i'n p?~int, \vhich seelns strange to us, but doubtless it is all right. l\1ost Grand Lodges, ho\vever, as ,ve think, read and correct the annual lllinutes before adjourning, that the printed copy may be correct. Probably this cllstom-\vith SOlneof \vaitillg .a yea't to correct the' minutes has been, or is, luerely a follovving of the custom of subordinate lodges. THE ANNUAL ADDRESS.

This is a worthy c1ocunlent, full of the spirit engendered by the stirring times and exciting conditions surrounding the Grand Master. The nlany, many COll11llunications, reported in full, give light on various nlatters demanding the attention of the Grand lViaster. vVe copy, briefly, from the opening paragraphs: ,Ve say "l\lasonry is a progressive science," but it luust路 keep pace vvith changes in vvorld thought If 'we are to l~eep our place ar:long the inf;titutions of the Earth. This con1n1unication is probably one of the n10st important in the history. of the Grand Lodge of l\1:innesota. "'\:Vhether you will it or no, you n1ust, today, assun1e part of the responsibility of deciding \vhether l\'1asonry is to go forward as a federated unit in the full strength of the grand institution that it is, or as a ,veakling, \villing to SUblllit to the control and dOlnination of outside inf'uences.. Because, in this country, rvrasonry is divided into forty-nine separate jurisdictions, vvith forty-nine diverse policies, we have lost one of the greatest opportunities that ever has knocked at our I

A possible solution of our difficulties will be IJ~'esented to you from various sources. The decision must ren1ain mtl'lll.>st v;rords.

This would seem to hint strongly in a direction to which others are pointing and laboring; that is, toward the formation of a General, or Supreme, Grand Lodge. But we may not correctly interpret the mind of the Grand JYlaster. The Grand lVTaster speaks tenderly of the lamented dead and quotes the poem so often used, "On Flanders Field, the Poppies Grow." He grants many Dispensations. He creates two lodges, and, in his absence, the acting Deputy Grand Master creates another. He pleads for the recognition of the Masonry of France-and the Grand Lodge agreed with him; so that Minnesota is now in fraternal relations \vith the Grand Orient of France!

D. 1918, and Vv~as opened in Ample Form, with the usual ceremonies, after which the Grand Master called the Craft to attention, and asked all to unite for a few moments in silent prayer, asking the protection of the Deity for our members who are offering their lives "as sacrifices, in order that freedom, liberty and the rights of all nations to exist shall not be crushed. THE ANNUAL ADDRESS,

covering some twelve pages only, in excellent form, interspersed 'with fine sentiment, but including much data, was presented. We give a few extracts: Deal" Brethren: The Sixty-first _4...nnual Comnlunication of the lYIost Worshipful Grand Lodge of Nebraska opens at the most momentous period in the 'w'orld's history, a time when the very principles of justice and free government are waging a death struggle against the powers of absolute autocracy, and our Fraternity, which through ages of darkness kept alive the light of learning and the spirit of liberty, and has ever challenged the divine right of kings to impose their imperial will on the human race, must be prepared to meet every test, and if it be the will of the Grand Architect of the Universe, make the supreme sacrifice. Now we are entering that period of -frightful carnage which ,vill deluge the earth with the blood of our best and bravest. There is among us, however, no division of opinion or fear of our ultimate victory, which will insure to all nations the blessings of a just and righteous peace, and freedom, justice and equal~ty to all mankind. To this end it is our duty as IVIasons and loyal citizens to stand behind the' country and its government w路itn every resource we cOlumand, and those of us physically unable to do active service should deenl it a privilege to aid to the limit of our financial ability. Brethren, this is not a time for mad hate and passion, wild and uncontrolled, leading to a frightfulness which has horrified the

civilized '\vorld, but for sober thought, self-denial, a cleternlination to sacrifice all save honor in our country's cause, and loyal, patriotic l\iasonic manhood.

The Grand 1\1:aster reports that the year has been one of record in the 'work done by the lodges and the general advancement in that jurisdiction. He reports Inany appointInents Inade and recollllnended, the laying of several corner stones, and the dedication of lle\V halls and the institution, in person or by proxy, of five ne\v lodges.

The Grand 11aster granted Dispensations for the creation of five De\V lodges, \vhich he reports as doing good \vork and 'worthy

The Grand ~laster pays a high tribute to these institutions, saying, among other things: '1'0 my 111ind, these HOllles are the ero'wning glory of Nebraska 1\Iasonry, and testinl0ny that 'we sincerely believe and practice \vhat \\'''e profess, an unanswerable arguluent for greater contributions in the future, a.nd I kno\v that every 111enlber \vho takes the trouble to becolne fanliliar ''lith the ,york of the Trustees and the results acco111plished \vill feel the saIne enthusias111. In connection ,vith the 1\rork of the H0I11eS, I desire to pay a tribute to the 111enlbeI's of the Order of the Eastern Star for their enthusiastic and \vhole-heartecl support of the H0I11eS for Boys and Girls. Their generous donations of 1110ney "and provisions for these children prove to us that 'while the:y cannot be members of the :Masonic l~"'raternity, they have caught the true spirit and are folIO'wing its precepts.

Besides the Nebraska IVIasonic Honle there is a Children's fIonle, and in addition the Grand Lodge grants a stipend to a nUInbel' of indigent members and \vido\vs. FINANCIAL.

The financial conditions seem excellent. The vested fund amounts to nearly $100,000, \vell secured, and the interest paid to date.

Among other matters contained in a brief report on Foreign Relations, the committee states that: Second. That the Grand Lodge of Panalna does not contain a single lodge that can be regarded as a regular lodge of Ancient Craft l\1asons. Your comn1ittee therefore recol11111enc1s that the request of the Grand Lodge of Panama for recogni tion and ~n exchange of representatives be respectfully denied. Your committee would also respectfuly recon1mend that the applications of the Grand Lodge of France, the Supreme Council of Serbia, and the Grand Orient of Italy for recognition and the exchange of representatives be laid over until the next annual comInunication. GRAND ORATION.

The oration from W. Bro. John R. Webster is so unusually good that we would be glad to publish it entire. It is really a classic. Ho,\vever, we must be permitted to use a part of our limited space in giving an extract, and among the many striking paragraphs we are really puzzled which to select: 'Ve hear about "fighting to make the world safe for- Den10CracY,H but Russia demonstrates that Democracy is not al\vays safe for the ~rorld, so we loolr for other issues than any n1ere form of governnlent. 'Ve are facing a bigger question than Autocracy. It is nothing less than- the continued recognition of justice and morality. Do such virtues exist? Or, are they siInply the vague fancies of in1practical d.rean1ers? These are the questions confronting us toda:.y. - Shall every man be a law unto himself? Shall there be no check upon cupidity? No interference with cruelty? No bridle upon avarice? Shall therebe no restraint upon the filthy passions of the vile? Shall there, be no curb upon the vaunting ambitions of the strong? Or, is there over us a moral sovereignty to which all, the great as well as the small, must render o-bedience? In the midnight of the dark ages the Church was able to exercise some restraint upon the ruthless destroyer of that time. In all the vv'orld today shall there be no altar of safety to which innocence and virtue may flee for asylum路 and protection? In the "whole universe of God is there no tribunal of righteousness? If not, then surely there is a hell, and we are in it. Talk no longer of "friendship, morality and brotherly love." They do not exist. If Prussianisln is right, l\1asonry is wrong. If this spirit, which is permeating the German people today, is to be accepted as a fair standard of hun1an conduct between men and nations, then l\{asonry is - an infantile delusion of brainless imbecility. Have we not as l\'Iasons a special interest in this war? Can we ever travel in the paths of Prussianism?

[Sept.

Appe'ndi"t".

lVfasonry is founded upon the brotherhood of man. Prussianis1l1 stands for the "super-n1an," a monster "\vithout heart, "\vithout conscience, Vll'ithou t soul. :Masonry demands rectitude of conduct. It is "by the square" that ~lasons are ever "willing to be tried;" but a Prussian treaty is only "a scrap of paper." l\fasonry inspires a high sense of honor. You are charged to "Let not interest, favor or prejudice bias your integrity or influence you to be guilty of a dishonorable action." Fredericl\: the G~eat has said: "If there is anything to be gained by it, "\ve will be honest; if- deception is necessary, let us be cheats."

FIFTY-FOURTII ANNUAL C01VIl\IUNICATION.

The Grand Lodge met in annual session in the City of Tonopah, June 11th, 1918, and was opened with usual ceremonies. SOnIEvYHArr

UNUSUAL.·

After the reception of Grand Representatives Bro. E. C. Peterson delivered an address of SOUle length and real strength, the purpose of which is manifestly to influence recognition of the Grand Orient and other Grand Bodies of French l\1asonry. vVe quote to give fuller appreciation of the address:

The Grand Lodge of Louisiana "vas the first to breal{. with the Grand Orient of France, in 1859, because the Grand Orient recognj;;ed a clandestine body, '\vhich had chartered both white and negro lodges in its jurisdiction, • .This was a just cause for breaking relations. The Grand Orient later saw its nlistake and v,rithdre"\\r its support to that body. The Grand Lodges of Ireland and of England broke fraternal relations with the Grand Orient of France in the '70s, proclaiming its lVIasonry Godless and declaring that it did not require a firm belief in God or the in1mortality of the soul, exacting i"nstead a. pledge to Liberty, Equality and Fraternity. The Grand Lodge of France is n101'e tolerant, in that it pern1its its lodges to exercise their own judgment on this matter. Both bodies do not require the candidate to renounce God; they allo"w him to worship as he sees fit, having' no other end in vie"w than to proclaim absolute liberty of conscience. The French l\fasons therefore are not atheistic, as they have been branded. They stand squarely on the constitutions of 1723, not excluding a belief in God and the immortality if the soul, but proclahning human solidarity and freedon1 of conscience as the foundations of the Craft of France. Do any of you, brethren, believe that there is such a thing as an atheist'? I do not. I do not believe that there· is a D1an, no matter how n1uch he professes to disbelieve God, but what, when alone, confesses to hin1self that there is a Suprelne Po,\ver, the Great Architect of the Universe An1erican Grand Lodges followed the British and severed fraternal relations, very likely without a full investigation. It appears that they are no'\v "waking up and are trying to make amends. New York set the ball rolling in Septernber, 1917, by granting to its members the right to fraternize with the M:asons of France during the war. New Jersey \~lent further and unequivocally recognized the Grand Lodge of" France and repealed its edict ag'ainst the

Appe路ndi.."C.

[Sept.

Grand Orient. In December, 1917, the District of Colulnbia recognized the Grand Lodge of France without a dissenting vote. California appointed a c0111mittee to devise plans for renewing relations ,~"ith the French brethren and extended the right to its brethren to visit any lodges in France, Belgium and Italy. In Kentucky, Utah, Florida, Texas, Georgia and Alabanla also favorable action has been taken enabling their ll1enlbers to fraternize with the craftsmen of France. vVith the return of peace this will make easy the establishment of perlnanent relations of alnity and good vvilI.

Naturally, this appeal was of great influence on the Grand Lodge, and although the Grand l\1:aster urged serious consideration and \vas nlanifestly opposed to such action, yet the Grand Lodge formally recognized the French Masonry as worthy of acceptance. No doubt in spirit these brethren are tru:e to the lofty principles of our Order-but we are compelled to differ from them in this nlatter. No atheist can be made a Mason, and he or they 路who deliberately EI..Il\IINATE God from their CUEED are such to all intents and purposes-as we think. On this subject the Grand l\1aster is mild, but consistent: I cannot refrain from asking that this Grand Lodge give the n1atter of resliming lVlasonic intercourse, or at l.e~st of recognizihg the Grand Bodies of France, deep and serious consideration at this session. "\Vhile vve n1ay be lnoved in sympathy for a nation ,vhich ha~. given of its hearts' blood for our COUlman cause, and realizing as n1any of us do that 1VIasonry is broadening wherever it can consistently do so, yet we must keep in n1ind the .A.ncient Landmarks of our Fraternity. It is not a n1atter of setting a precedent, as other Grand Jurisdictions have already done. vV"e do not want, however, to take the position of depriving our Brethren who have gone and will go "over there" from fraternizing ,ivi th the Brethren of France, and we should at this tin1e be "rilling to concede n1uch in regard to former differences, but not all. vVe ll1ust be fair, liberal and just to both sides in reaching our decision.

To V\rhich 'we say, Amen. Later, by resolution, the formal recognition of the Grand Orient of France \vas decided to be deferred until the report of' 1\1. W. Linton R. Ginn, Ambassador to the Grand Bodies of France, is received and promulgated. FOREIGN CORRF..8PONDENCE.

The Grand Lodge of New Brunsvvick began its history January 22, 1868, and a formal SE1\ifI-CENTENNIAL

CI~LEBRATION

was held in the City of St. Johns January 22, 1918, with appropriate and most interesting ceremonies. Besides the music, etc., the chief feature of the occasion 'was the sermon by Archdeacon Crawford, Grand Chaplain, in Trinity Church, to which the Grand Lodge moved in solemn procession from Freemasons Hall. We ,vouId be glad to copy this address in its entirety. We give an extract or two to illustrate its quality:

vVithout discussing at length the sublime origins of our Craft, a subject of "which it 'Vv0uld not be seemly to treat路 in the presence of a mixed assemblage, I may say that in Freemasonry 'we have the direct lineal descendant of the Guilds which played so prominent a part in the history of the Middle .A.ges. And in making this assertion I feel that I alU giving expression to a statement which the l1lostcynical "cowan" will hardly venture to dispute. It is a fact established beyond possibility of denial, and attested not only by records in possession of lodges in the Old Country, but vouched for in any history of our nation. And there is traceable an unbroken continuity of life linking the speculative J\1asons of todaY" with their operative brethren of antiquity.

. .~re we sure that our ancient brethren had the spirit of the Lord? This is a question 'which I "lill ansy;rer in the words of our Savior, "By their fruits ye shall know thenl." Look at the \~lorks of our ancient brethren. Contemplate those dreams of stone in which they wrought their faith. "GiV"e all thou canst; high heaven rejects the lore Of nicely calculated less or more; So deemed the Ulan who fashioned for the sense These lofty pillars, spread that branching roof Self-poised, and scooped into ten thousand cells vVhere light and shade repose, \vhere music dwells Lingering, and wandering on as loth to die; Like thoughts whose very sweetness yieldeth proof That they were born for immortality. They dreamt not of a perishable home "Vho thus could build."

THE FIFTY-FIRST ANNUAL COl\Il\IUNICATION,

beginning its labors in the City of St. John, April 23rd, ,vas marked by no feature of especial significance. The address of the Grand Master was worthy, but conventional only. His loyalty is unquestionable and his reverence for the distinguished dead suffi~ ciently appears. He reports having attended Divine Worship on Sunday, June 24, the service being commemorative and conducted by the Grand Chaplain. He laid the corner stone of a school building and delivered an address. He made many visitations, finding it a pleasure, except in one instance, '\vhen the lodge room was "dirty and' unattractive", and the l\1aster and most of the members absent. (vVe fear that many -many might be found in the va~ious Jurisdictions among us which are far from inviting in appearance. And the lodge room, however humble, should at least be clean!) He 910ses \vith a sentiment, which, hovvever old, should find endorsement in every life: "I 'will be true, for there are those 'who trust me; I \vill be pure, for there are those who care; I will be strong, for there is much to suffer; I will be brave, for there is much to dare; I will be friend路 to all the poor and friendless; I will b'e giving and forget the gift; I "will be humble, for I know my weakness; I will look up, and laugh, and love, and lift."

Unusual, but no doubt regular. The reading of the minutes of the preceding session being dispensed with and other preliminaries attended to, the Grand Lodge continued its labors. (Incidentally, it seems to us that the minutes of a Grand Lodge should be read and approved at the close of the session rather than the beginning of another twelve months later, 'when it is not probable that any errors \vill be remembered or can be legally rectified, as they have gone into print in the annals of the Grand Lodge. But "re note that this is the custom in many Grand Lodges.) So mote it be! THE ANNUAL ADDRESS.

This is an interesting document, devoted almost entirely to a recital of the official acts of the administration. In the opening paragraphs, however, the Grand l\1:aster is deeply reverential, and his sentiments in recognizing the G. A. O. U-the conditions prevailing during the year-the propriety of answering loyalty to the country and of sympathy and substantial aid to all the stricken and suffering, are worthy of commendation. Three new lodges \vere created by Dispensation. The rulings or decisions of the Grand Master 'were few and, seemingly, in full accord \vith the usages of Freemasonry. The Grand Master opened wide the door to the lodge room in practically dispensing vvith the time limit, etc., etc., in case of candidates called to the colors. DISPEN SATIONS-SPECIAL.

These exceeded in number any record of any Grand Lodge conling under our observation--..:..aU or nearly all were in answer to re:"1 uests from various Grand Jurisdictions for the conferring degrees upon candidates elected by their home lodges and then in camp in Ne\v Mexico-generally at Camp Cody. Without careful computation 'Vve would judge that more than five hundred such Dispensations were granted, and Deming Lodge certainly made a rec.ord in conferring so many hundreds of degrees. The work noted could not be done regularly in several months, using every \veek night for the purpose, and \ve 'would be glad to know how it was accomplished in the given time.

RECONVENED.

The one hundred and thirty-sixth Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of New York was reconvened in Special Service, at Masonic Hall, City of New York, on Monday, September 10th, which action was deemed eminently proper, if not really necessary, because of the peculiar condition arising from the great war in Europe and its extension to the United States. The Grand 1faster in his address gave succinctly his reasons for calling the Grand Lodge together, to wit: That 路while believing that his prerogative as Grand Master really would justify him, in most of the matters in question, to act upon his own initiative, he yet desired to be fortified by the wisdom. of those equally interested with himself in current events and the proper ('ause to

be follo\\red under existing conditions. There was a good deal of discussion, but with much amity of feeling and in the end, the Grand Lodge, by resolution and enactment, endorsed the creation of Army Lodges; the free intercourse of our members "with lodges and members of the fraternity in those countries now co-operating \vith us in the "rar; the conferring of more th.an five degrees at one time and, practically, the elimination of the time limit in other cases. ANNUAL

C01IlVIUNICATION.

The One Hundred and Thirty-seventh Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the State of New York was opened in the Grand Lodge Room, Masonic Hall, City of New York, on the afternoon of May 7, A. D. 1918, A. L. 5918, at two o'clock. The address of the Grand Master was conventional in form, beginning' as follows: Brethren of the Grand Lodge: In a period of the 'world's history when nearly every rule of national and international conduct has been completely revolutionized; 路when almost overnight entire peoples are removed fron1 the face of the earth; 'when national boundaries and forms of government are constantly changing; ,"'hen the whole world is looldng to this country and praying' to God that we will not disappoint then1 in responding to their appeals, we are no\v assembled in the One Hundred and Thirty-seventh Annual Session of the Grand Lodge, to counsel, one \vith another, and to act as the needs of the \vorld's situation Inay require. IVlay we plan ,visely and perforn1 courageously. Since last 'we met many of the Brethren have ans\vered the last call. Let us pause to pay tribute to their n1en1ory.

The list given covers many pages and abounds in tender pathos. In regard to W. M. Edwards, 1\11. L. Ehlers, for thirty-five years Secretary of the Grand Lodge of New York, he states that he was probably the best known Mason in the world. The Grand l\1aster reported many Dispensations, some us.ual and some unusual, opening out of the present condition. He created five new lodges. The follovling from the Grand Master is worthy: ';Ve have had a total response representing a membership entire of 3,948 men in the Craft, subdivided as follows: Army, 3,155; navy, 793. \Ve have had furn'ished to us the record of 2,790 sons of l\1asons in the service, and I might say right here that following the filing of those reports ,ve have received explanations and regrets

from~1asters everywhere that they "\vere nut 11101'0 complete: so you 'will appreciate, brethren, that our figures are going to be away beyond what are here presented. As concrete data, it will be of interest to you to have this infornlation: The Fraternity in the State of New York can claim six Generals in the Army of the United States today-the Senior IVlajorGeneral, Brother Wood of Anglo-Saxon Lodge, and the Chief of Staff of the United St.ates A_rmy, Brother Scott of Republic Lodge i,n this State. vVe have 24 Colonels, 49 ~1ajors, 230 Captains, 315 Lieutenants, 1,947 priv~tes and sub-officers. In the Aviation field we have 19 Inen; Officers' Training School, 104. It doesn't begin to represent the number that must be in that service. Two hundred and thirty in the Medical Corps-away below what I know is represented there. One hundred and twenty-nine in the Foreign Service-considerably less than we must have. And to our credit be it said we have provided five chaplains for. the Army of th~ United States. In the Navy vve have six Captains, ten Commanders, 60 Lieutenants, 17 Ensigns and 686 seamen and ten petty officers.

And the Grand Master further states that about one-third of the soldiers from the Fraternity in New York are Commissioned . Officers. AN

The Grand Lodge was called from labor and Miss Suzanne Silvercruys, daughteI;' of the Chief Justice of Belgium, chaperoned by Mrs. Isaac Roberts was introduced and delivered a most interesting address, principally dealing with incidents coming under her own observation, or well authenticated, during the German occupation of Belgium. We give a paragraph or two: SaIne people have said to you, "Yes, I know, but really those German soldiers cannot help it. They are given orders to do these things and they must do them." \I\Tell, I don't think that any of the Allies, any of our boys, the American boys coming over there, even if they were given orders to lUll the German children after what Germans have done, would do it.

The Grand Lodge of Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons, of North Carolina, convened in its one hundred and thirty-first Annual Communication in the hall of the Masonic Temple, in the City of Raleigh, on Tuesday evening, January 15, 1918, at 7: 30 o'clock, and was opened in ample form, it appearing that a constitutional number of Lodges were- represented.

Appendix.

The grea;t, long-looked-for, 'world-YV"ide opportunity for Masonry has come, my Brethren, the opportunity of sending forth the thuusands who ha've knelt at our sacred altar and learned the sublime lessons which l\1asonry inculcates, out into路 the heights, the depths, into the very bosom of the other nations of the earth, taking with them as a part of their very being, if we have labored well, the great lVfasonic teachings: freedom of thought. freedom of speech, the rights of the masses of hunlanity, and their peculiar right to worship their God according to the dictates of their OVln consciences.

The whole civilized world seems stunned and disorganized because of the fact that the great IVlasonic ambition, the Universal Brotherhood of l\fan, has been forgotten. Men of alm路ost every nation of the earth have forgotten the goodness and mercy of the Father conlmon to all, and clutch each other by the throats, being bathed in their brother's blood. The Jubela of Austria, the .Tubela of Turkey, and the still nlore determined Jubelum of Germany have set themselves at the gates of the modern world and demanded of a patient, plodding nlankind the priceless jewel of human rightsthe right of liberty, the right of universal peace, and the right ot the pursuit of happiness gained through years of labor and of sacrifices. They g'ive no reason for their horrid conspiracy against mankind, this outrageous demand upon, this predetermined murder of. Right, save that they would fain seek in foreign countries wages and emoluments that are not their just due. In frightfulness they stril{:e, and lor an innocent and bleeding Belgium lies mangled at their feet, a prey to avarice and autocracy, a martyr to duty. And 110\V, from out of S0111eVlhere' of time and space, an order has come thundering from the heart of the Great I AM. To the three He speaks in ancient tones, "v\That of thy Brother? Go find the ruffians, or you yourself shall be deenled as guilty as the n1urderers." In response to that great mandate, with hearts aflame with brotherly love, relief and truth, with hand linked in hand and heart joined to heart, go forth the three principal Fellow Crafts of the modern world on the l\1:aster's bidding-France, England and America.

The Grand Master alludes in feeling terms to call of duty which takes him away from the local associations of his Masonic Home to enter upon the stern duties of war. We quote him further: I have a hope that we who may live and use and disseminate our principles and teachings in such a way that, when we have righted the wrong, when we have overcome the enemy, when, penitent and remorseful, they seek for reconstruction of their hopes, their plans and their ideals, we may have had such inftuence that the new-born enlpires may sweep aside the ruins of the fallen thrones of autocratic king and priest, and lay the foundation stones of their new kingdoms according to the Masonic teaching-s of the Square, the Level, and the Plun1b. Yea; I have a greater hope that

I shall be spared to witness that great day, and, then, when the duty shall have been accomplished, when on the breath of some summer's evenIng the gentle zephyr shall lift the blackened veil of cannon smoke from the face of a "veary, war-worn world, when it shall gently dry the tears fronl her penitent eyes as they are raised to th路e star-decked heavens in love and homage to the Great I A.:rvr, I hope to catch on the gentle sig'h of that selfsan1e zephyr the fragrance of the honeysuckle, the jessamine, and the cotton blossom, for it will mean that--

* MILITARY LODGE.

One Military Lodge was created by Dispensation, with the understanding that any member of the Fraternity in North Carolina or belonging to a North Carolina Lodge might join at once, his membership in the home lodge ceasing automatically, and being restored automatically, on the dissolution of the Army Lodge. But no provision is made, as we understand it, for the admission of those who receive the degrees in such Army Lodge, and we fear many jurisdictions and possibly many really worthy men receiving degrees in Military Lodges will meet with embarrassment at this point. The Grand Master makes an earnest plea for the recognition of the Grand Orient of France "in case it will agree to replace the Bible, our Great Light and Trestle Board, upon its altar and require of its candidates a belief in a Supreme Being". Which is to us a trifle amusing: But-DISPENSATIONS.

The Grand Master granted many Dispensations and-as we think-wisely refused many others desired. Especially did he emphasize his opposition to the idea of compelling every Lodge to place a flag upon the altar. This point he argues convincingly, at least to us, if we had needed any argument on that question. He likewise refuses all requests for Lodges to join in public parades. He thus explains his reasons: I feel that those who n1ade such requests lost sight, in their enthusiasm of the monlent, of the real function of a Masonic Lodge. Masonry is not an institution of modern origin, nor is it路 dedicated to ideals and purposes of many of the modern orders; 11asonry has a higher ideal and a God-given purpose in the world. Its labors are for the rights of the n1asses of our people, for the uplift of the Brethren of our race in their struggles for an understanding of the meaning of eXistence\ in their search for the truth of its end.

!VIan's purpose and duty is l\Iasonry's theme, and to this tasl\: she bends her every effort. The work of lVIasonry, therefore, is silently acconlplished in the hearts of n1en, moulding and shaping the nloral life and character. She works not in the community at large, but in the innermost recesses of the heart and soul, and we feel that, with those lessons thus placed, there can be no patriot excelling a good 11ason. Masonry teaches against pomp and display; 1VIasonry teaches against confusion and loud acclaim. It is not the one who makes the loudest noise who feels the deepest, or is the best patriot by any means, but the one who dwells on duty as exacting as necessity in the individual life and who acts when duty calls. I could see nothing to be gained by granting these requests, but I could see the danger of mod~rnism creeping in to Clivert by . confusion the labor of our forefathers through the ages in keeping Masonry true to its ideals and its purposes. As a red-blooded A.merican I concurred in the idea of every Mason, as an individual, exhibiting his full share of enthusiasm in any manner he saw fit, but as a Lodge, I felt that its best endeavors were as they had been in ages past.

DECISIONS.

l\1any-very many-Decisions were made by the Grand and Deputy Grand Masters, all of which seemed in full accordance 'with Masonic law and usage, and the "Rulings" as to the intent of the laws and decisions on the statute book, or Book of Consti~ tutions were approved. Incidentally, Ji路e refers to the fact that North Carolina has repudiated the dogma of "perpetual jurisdic~ tion". ];IASONIC HOMES.

The reports on the two Masonic Homes occupies many pages and indicates their good condition. One' of these is supported in part by the state under a long-standing arrangement. The subsidy from, this source last year was $20,000. In this Home are 375 children. This Institution is known as the Oxford Orphan Asy~ lum, the other as the Masonic and Eastern Star Home, which latter is located at Greensboro, N. C., and reports twenty~seven old p'eople as members of the family... The cost of maintenance, per capita, is reported at being $15.75 per month. The net assets of the Home are reported at $55,876.76, with a valuation of $66,307.67. Liabilities of nearly ten thousand dollars .make up the difference. Several Emergency Grand Lodges were held during the year, the purpose being, in general, for the laying of corner stones. These are reported in detail.

84 FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE.

This report covers 125 pages in excellent form and spirit. The only apparent criticism is to the Grand Master's seeming ruling on eligibility to join the Eastern Star. He thinks this was beyond his province. He also refers to a historical mistake in the address. Missouri occupies nearly three pages.

ANNUAL

COlVI:l\IUNICATION.

The opening ceremonies of the Grand Lodge held at Fargo, June 18th, 1918, included the "Flag Service", ","hich in some form is now commonly observed in our Grand Lodges. From the opening paragraphs of the Annual Address, we ,copy briefly: ,\Ve are living in times 'which try men's souls and test the quality of their manhood. Events have moved with such tremendous momentum since ,ve lTIet one 'Year ago that few of us realize the transformation w路hich has taken place. .4... few things stand out clearly. Our Country, our America, is girding herself for the greatest struggle the "vorld has ever known. "\Ve are sending our young men to the battle line by the nlillions; 'we are. pouring out our wealth by the tens of billions. America is a unit in the conviction that the world shall be made safe for den1ocracy-for that Brotherhood which is so splendidly exemplified in the great Fraternity of which we are a part. There is but one outcome possible, and until those elements and those individuals which stand for brutal autocracy and military conquest are crushed beyond the power of recovery, this struggle must go on; 'and it is our part as Masons and patriots to give every ounce of effort to the winning of the war. Let us solemnlY covenant together here and now that, God helping us, we will stand true to our Country and the cause of Righteous"ness and Humanity.

85 Three lodges were created by Dispensations, in casual form The Grand Master explains at length, and ,vas doubtless supported by the council of wise members, but the great majority of our Grand Lodges have refused to take sueh action. To the credit of the Grand Master and his jurisdiction no Decisions were reported. The following will be read with interest and, as we think, \\rith general approbation: and are lVIi1itary Lodges.

During the year we have had some correspondence relative to this institution, the full designation of which is The 1'/r:ystic Order of Veiled Prophets of the Enchanted Realm. vVe have also received a visit from 1Ir.

FRATERN .A..L CeRRESPONDENCE.

Our good Brother Hager presents an excellent report, and the only possible criticism is its brevity. .Such a pen as his should have more -latitude! He is kind to Missouri-and the correspondent-giving several selections, with approval. He quotes the Grand l\laster thusly: lVIissouri's Grand l\'faster does not believe in mistrials in l\Iasonry, and is not afraid of expressing his opinion or the exercise of his pow"ers of office. For failure to find proper and reasonable verdicts and judg"ments in trials ordered by him in a constituent lodge, the Grand l\Iaster arrested the charter of the lodge. If all men vested with the authority of Grand lVlaster acted with the certainty clearness and directness that characterized the action of the Grand IVIaster of l\'Iissouri there would be less shame to l\Iasonry, and a higher regard for its la\vs and edicts both 'within the Institution and 路without. \Ve con1mend n10st heartily these wise and judicious acts of this fine l\iIason. .*

But he disapproves of reballots, as follows: \Ve also note that the Grand l\faster granted twenty-four dispensations for 路'Reballots." \Ve do not know what the law of IVIissouri is on the question of the ballot, but if the Grand IVlaster is clothed with authority to grant a dispensation to reballot on candidates for degrees, it is encouraging a practice which is unquestionably wrong.

THE ANNUAL ADbRESS.

It is well that this g-athering should be' held in Halifax; Halifax, the Masonic center of our jurisdiction; the seat of government of our fair province; the great seaport city of our wide Dominion. From the magnificent harbor which lies below you during the past three years there has sailed many staunch transports, bearing to a. distant shore tens of thousands of the bravest Canadians intent on the most important mission that nlen ever ventured; Canadian soldiers and, men of valor willing and eager to make any sacrifice on the altars of Liberty. The mental imprint of this 'city was the last picture of a beloved homeland that lingered in the memories of those stout hearts, burning with zeal to do and dare for kinsfolk and country. As those precious human freights were moved seaward, the parting farewells were waved across the 'waters and exchanged with the good people of this city. .A.. nd it is the people of this city, "Vvho can tell better of the buoyancy of the brave spirits, for as they faded in the distance the cheerfulness of the huzzas, floating back, told in no mistaking terms that the best of our young nation was going forth to the terrible conflict, fearing naug"ht of the possible cost, but charged with that optinlism and determination that achieves the final victory. THE GRIM REAPER.

Further, on referring to the invasion of death, he thus speaks of the Halifax disaster which sent a shudder over the entire nation. THE HALIFAX DiSASTER.

It is not possible to make any reference to the terrible disaster that befell this fair city, on the morning of December 6th, without recalling to many harrowing scenes and awakening sad memories. Incidents were experienced, lnore distressing, we are told, than those seen on the field of carnage in the most fr-ightful of n10dern European battles. It was the work of an instant. To the people of this city in the act of preparing for a busy day, canle the crushing roar of the terrible explosion and then the deadly silence tha.t followed. The deed was over'whelming. Fifteen hundred precious souls had been hurled into eternity and thrice the number injured. That nlan's inge'nuity could concentrate such power was astounding; that by any combination of circumstances such pent-up power could be loosed at such time and in such a place is inconlprehensible. The result was the most horrible tha.t ever befell any community on the Anlerican continent. A wild outburst of the storlni~g elements in the days

The Grand Master speaks in glowing terms of the Masonic Home and its management. , He made many official visitations. The Grand l\faster under advice of State Authorities issued a circular suggesting to all the lodges the inadvisability of all picnics and anything of that nature tending to interfere with production, etc. Many rulings were given out. Many Dispensations granted and official acts reported. All of which are devoid of special interest except in that jurisdiction. THE GRAND

SECRETARY.

The Grand Secretary in presenting his annual report through a brother, stated that his continued ill health had confined hinl tv the house for most of the year, and on motion a committee was appointed to inquire further into his condition and report. This committee reporting, in effect, that he was probably permanently disabled the Grand Lodge voted him a retiring, allowance of $75.00 a month dating from June, 1918. FOREIGN' CORRESPONDENCE.

Gain, 8,050. The Annual Grand Communications of the M. W. Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Ohio 'was, by resolution of October 18, 1917, to have been held in the City of Columbus, Ohio, at ten o'clock a. m., on Wednesday, October twenty-third, 1918, and at that time and place a number of members of the Grand Lodge nlet in the Masonic Temple in that city.. By reason of the prevalence of the influenza and the order of the Health Commissioner of the City of Columbus prohibiting the congregating of any large number of persons in one place, less than a quorum ,vas present at the time and place for the purpose of holding a session of the Grand Lodge and, on motion, an adjournment was had until the hour of ten o'clock a. m. on the following day. Under Article IV of the Constitution similar adjournments were had from day to day until November 26, 1918, at ten- o'clock a. m., when it being evident that a quorum of the Grand Lodge was present and the' order of the Health Commissioner having been rescinded, the Grand Lodge was opened in Ample Form, preceded by interesting exercises, including music, addresses of welcome, responses, etc. These addresses were of high order and from the response of M. W. Allen Andrews, we give an extract for its sprightliness, stating also that the remaining portion of the address was rich in lofty sentiment.

* Here are our legislative halls, which biennially send forth their enigmas to puzzle the wise and to entrap the unv\tary. (Laughter.) Here sits the Supren1e Court, our final Judge. ".A:'nd as the Irishman has said, a court, you kno\v, is a place wherein justice is done, \,'ith the emphasis of "in" on the preceding adverb or the following noun according to whether he .is victor or vanquished. (Laughter.) And here is our executive luansion, selected and rented by the Governor at his own expense. (Laughter.) And here are our asylums, which safely keep those \vho kno"':v too Ii ttle and those who know too much. (Laughter.) And here is our Univer~ity, referred to by our distinguished

..:4ppendi.r.

Brother, our University, which expands audacious youth and sends it forth to crowd faltering age out of place, power, and position' and SOlne of us are beginning to feel the crush. (Laughter.) , And here also is our State penitentiary, with a lasting \velcome, vthich gathers us in and will not let us go. (Laughter.) No, we are not strangers in this city. Some of us have been there; some have representatives there; and if you will pardon a personal reference, I think I am never without one or two clients in that great stone prison on Spring street. (Laughter.) And I believe somewhere we read in sacred literature or in Masonic tradition that 路when our ancient Brethren built that wonderful monument, that architectural Masonic monument in sunny Palestine, they took stones, hewed stones, squared stones, and laid the foundation of the Temple. And when our pioneer forefathers decided to make Columbus the capital of our Commonwealth, with singular anticipation of the needs of the people who would live here, the very first thing they did they built a penitentiary. (Laughter.) So ,ve are told in Howe's History. ...I\.nd then the next thing, in order to provide for the just as well as the unjust, they laid out a cemetery. (Laughter.)

The Proceedings of the Grand Lodge of Ohio in the ONE HUNDRED AND NINTH ANNUAL SESSION

are presented in a well-ordered volume, adorned, as frontispiece, with the picture of the incoming Grand Master and, furthermore, with a plate picture of the "unbroken line of twenty-six Past Grand Masters, all living".' Probably no Grand Lodge in the world could make such an exhibit.

THE ANNUAL ADDRESS

of M. W. Henry Hagelbarger, G. M., may be classed as among the best in style, arrangement and completeness. Doubtless it would gratify our readers could we copy extensively from its fine passages. The Grand Master alludes tenderly to the fraternal dead and closes with the following beautiful lines: "Twilight and evening bell,

Night shadows gather dark, Deep rolls the tide with grander swell Around thy bark. o moaning bar! 0 boundless sea! o life! 0 death! 0 mys~ery!

44ppendix.

"Safe home, safe hOlne in port, The heavenly haven won, Thro' cloud and darkness safely brought, Life's voyage done. o vision fair! 0 boundless grace! My Pilot nleets 111e face to face." SPECIAL

CO~I~IUNICATIONS.

The Grand Master reports many of these for the purpose of constituting and dedicating; also, for the laying of corner stones. He reports having granted 130 Dispensations, principally on account of war emergencies and many refused for lack of 路authority to grant as desired. He granted Dispensations for the creating of three new lodges. The last Grand Lodge granted authority to the Grand Master to create Military Lodges on request, but no application was made for such. The Grand Lodge of Ohio, not being in fraternal relation with either of the three Grand Lodges in France, the Grand J\laster announced that no request for degrees from such and no fraternal intercourse or -yisit was legitimate. 'rHE HALIFAX DISASTER,

causing the death of 1,500 people. and the injury of many others, besides the destruction of $30,000,000 of property received attention in the form of a donation of $500.00, besides which the Grand Lodge donated $3,000.00 to the Belgian Relief Fund. The Grand Master urged the adoption of a pending amendment raising the dues for the benefit of the Masonic Home, which ,vas represented as in great need and utterly unable to receive and care for many pending applicants. (After a prolonged discussion this amendment was adopted.) . A 'VISE AND WORTHY EXAM:PLE.

Two German speaking lodges notified the Grand J\'Iaster that they had arranged to dispense 'with the German and use the English in future in their lodge work. (Let all others follow this example. Ve'rbum satis sopientis.) THE MASONIC HOME.

This institution is' reported in good condition, except as demanding enlargement, 'which report comes fronl well nigh every jurisdiction. Naturally, the app~al for such help grows more

rapidly than the ability to meet it. In this Home there are 93 men 'with an average age of 74; 67 women, average age, 72; 29 boys, average age, 10, and 18 girls, average age, 12; making a total of 207. It will be noted in almost every case-and probably in all cases-that the number of children is, relatively, decreasing, in these Homes, "while the number 路of old people increases rapidly. rrhis is a matter of consideration by those interested in the future of our Order.

COMMUNICATION

of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Oklahoma was held at McAlester, Oklahoma, February 26, 27 and 28, A. L. 5918, A. D. 1918, and after some preliminaries conducted by the Deputy Grand Master the Grand Master SAl\:IUEL WILSON HOGAN,

was formally introduced and conducted to the Grand East, where he was presented with a Grand Master's Apron by Hon. Wm. L. Eagleston, representing Cashion Lodge No. 174, of which the Grand Master is a member. The address was brief but fitting and the Grand Master responded in fine form.

1919. ]

r1ppcndix.

The Grand Lodge was then opened in due form and the Grand l\:Iaster presented his annual address-following the prayer by the Grand Chaplain, Rev. 1. V. Jolly, which was a model in forril and brevity: Suprenle Archi teet of路 the Universe, we come before Thee, in the beginning of the sessions of this Grand Lodge, that we may honor 1'hee, our Father and our Leader, and 'we come praying Thy blessings upon us for this present convention. As we meet together may we realize the oblig'ations that bind us together as brethren, recognizing what they mean to us in our lives and shaping our lives acconlingly that we may benefit the country in which we live, and by living as true and faithful lVIasons we may honor Thee and help humanity. Forgive us in what we wrong and, 0 God, lool~ in kindest cOlnpassion upon our Inistakes and shortcomings. Grant, our Father, that everyone nlay be guided by the principles that are here taught and do and say the things that will result in good to htllnanity. Use us every'where and anywhere for the good of humanity and let Thy blessing rest upon us, and "watch over and guide and direct us. vVe ask in His name. Anlen.

The address of the Grand Master is somewhat unusual in form, but is not subject to criticism on that account. It is certainly a ,veIl-arranged exhibit of the work of the year. From it \ve quote: l\Iy Dear Brethren:

\Ve are now assen1bled in the Tenth ..~nnual Con1munication of this Grand Lodg-e, with sad hearts and serious n1inds, caused by the clouds of war \vhich now shadow the world. Our trust is in God and we will be guided by His divine hand with the detern1ination to do our duty to the end, as men and Masons, no matter what the sacrifice may be. "\:Ve are stunned and appalled when we reali~e the titanic price that 111ust be paid for universal liberty, but after all, the history of the world shows that all great blessings that have come to humanity have been paid for \vith treasure, blood, SUffering; and tears of people, and nations. ,The price that has been' paid in the p~st oft times seems insignificant to what V\Te are called upon to pay today. "\Ve should have faith, "rhen the end comes, and we pray for that day, that our blessings will be great in the reign of brotherhood of men, freedon1 of thought, and a "world-wide den10cracy. There is a great satisfaction in the knowledge that our nation and those who are allied ,"vith us are ruled and governed by peaceloving, and God-fearing men; that this war, as far as "we are concerned, is not a ~"ar of conquest, but is in. the interests of humanity throug'hout the world.

[Sept.

Introducing his report on Necrology, the Grand Lodge is called to solemn prayer, led by the Grand Chaplain. (A "worthy observance.) l\IEl\10RIAL COMJ\iUNICATIONS.

A number of memorial communications are included in the body of the address, as also the detailed report of several emergent communications for the purpose of laying corner stones. etc., in each of 'which the Grand Lodge was opened in the Entered Apprentice Degree and was called to Refreshment previous to the ceremonies. It is generally understood, as we think, that no work can be done in the Entered Apprentice Degree, save examination, conferring the degree, or, in rare路 cases, the trial of an Entered Apprentice. Also that no lodge work can be done while the lodge is at Refreshment. Possibly the desire to afford Entered Apprentices and Fellowcrafts the opportunity of joining in the ceremonies bas influenced the Grand Lodge of Oklahoma to conduct the ceremonies alluded to in the Entered Apprentice Degree, but we cannot understand how any lodge work, can be performed \vhen the lodge is at Refreshlnent. But ,ve mean no possible criticism in this comment. NE\V LODGES.

Four lodges, N. D., were instituted during the year and six, having been duly chartered, 'were constituted in regular form. The Grand l\'laster reports no Decisions, but modestly refers to his rulings as INTERPRE'rATloNS

All of these seem to merit approval, especially the one in 'which the Grand JYlaster states that a man with one eye is eligible to the degrees.

ANNUAL CO}/[MUNICATION.

The sixty-eighth Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Oregon was opened in the Auditorium of the Masonic Temple, Portland, Oregon, Wednesday morning, June 12, 1918, at the hour of 10 o'clock a. ID., with a good attendance. The only departure from the ordinary being that the Grand Representatives were kept in waiting until after the opening of the Grand Lodge when they 'were introduced and formally welcomed by the Grand 1\1aster. R. W. Bro. G. A. Mooney, Representative of the Grand Lodge of Oregon and the Grand Lodge of New York was introduced and delivered a pleasant address. TH.E ANNUAL ADDRESS.

After a few words of forulal greeting the Grand l\1aster further introduced his address thus: Before I render an account of my official acts, let us pause ..t nc1 reflect that "To the past go more dead faces every year," and the Reaper has been active in the ranks of those ",,~ho have the place of highest honor in our Fraternity. At the passing of these eminent brethren I caused suitable l\!Iemorials to be prepared and sent to all the Constituent Lodges. I have arranged for suitable memorial ex-

ercises to be held in their honor and "vill only make a brief personal reference here.

* DECISIONS.

The Grand Master reports a number, but nearly all would seem to be caused by the "Common Law", or the regulation of the Grand Lodge, unless it be that in which he forbids visiting the lodges of France. (Wisely, as we think.) J\fILITARY LODGES.

The Grand l\1aster frankly repudiates the idea of Military Lodges, in effect, but states that in case of a sufficient number from that jurisdiction, while within the State had asked for a Dispensation, it would have been granted. This almost yields the question, as it seems to us; A Military Lodge within the same jurisdiction to which its members belong, by our thinking, would be unnecessary-if necessary at all, and would certainly give more trouble in several ways-butThe Grand Master makes a strong plea for some sort of recognition of French Masonry, but the committee, in effect, adjourned the matter. So far as we' have noted the Grand Lodges generally ignore the fact that there are three Grand Lodges in France, one of which was officially recognized in some Grand Jurisdictions in the United States some time since. r

THE MASONIC HOl\1:E.

The Grand Master refers to the part that tentative measures have been taken for the creation. of a Masonic Home and fully endorses the idea. A good deal of space in the address, and later, is given to the subject, but the conclusion 路only reaches' the proposal to select the site for a Home as soon as the sum of fifty thousand dollars is secured. Part of this sum has already been realized. The conclusion of the address .is merely formal, but pleasant and wen expressed. FINANCIAL.

The financial condition of the Grand Lodge seems to be excellent. We note an "Educational Fund" among the assets, which altogether amounts to $246,082.43. The Educational Fund aggre-

In the unavoidable absence of the M. W. Wm. H. Taylor, G. lVI., on account of illness his address vvas sent by the Acting Grand Master R. W. l\fanuel L. Quezon, v:,rho, in opening the session, pays a high tribute to the Grand Master. The address is in路路 fine form and its lofty tone is well illustrated in accompanying extract: It seems incredible but that fron1 this horrible Armageddon there nlust come a rebirth of national ideals and inspirations. The oldest foundations on ,vhich our civilization was erected have stood the test of years, but the superstructure has crumbled because of the evil in the world, and \ve find that after the rubbish has been cleared away that a new temple n1ust arise.

Fraternity has its oppor'tunities been greater or its responsibilities heavier. Our past efforts should have produced great good, but did rather at tinles produce a condition which rapidly developed into indifference and neglect. The ","orld of humanity is beginning to have this truth more and more strongly pressed home to them. There is already a positive tendency to unite forces and amalgamate efforts for the solution of the great problen1s \vhieh 'will confront the ,vorld when this wal' conles to an end. There are three fundamental beliefs in our 11'raternity. These beliefs and their place in our teachings are yvhat has given ~Irasonry its incomparable place in the history of the world for the past two centuries. They are what is making it a living force in the world today. The adherence to them will enable it to on and on until .time shall be no more, ever growIng In influence and power to do good as the years go by. vVhat are these beliefs that we must not bnly teach in our Lodges, but live. if we are to do our bit in the great \vork of reg-enerating the world? They are the belief in the Fatherhood of God, the Brotherhood of man and the Immortality of the soul. It 'is neither fittlng nor necessary that I should expatiate upon these great fundamentals, because they are, or ought to be, deeply engraven in the heart of every member of our ancient and honorable Fraternity.

He gives a .plate representing the genealogy of the Grand Lodge of the Philippine Islands, as regularly descended from the Grand Lodge of England. With this he adds a history of interest to those who are desirous of understanding the foundation of which we are builded. * Fronl this table you will note that our ritual is in a great part handed down by that Grand Lodge of England which was denominated by the "split" party as the "Moderns," vv:hile they (the Split) appropriated to themselves the title of the liAncients." During this formative period of Masonry both the . -. \ncient and M:odern' Grand Lodges of England granted charters to lodges in America. In addition there grew up spontaneous lodges both in Pennsylvania and Virginia, which introduced still new and different elements into the ritual. Hence the differentiations which are apt to prove somewhat confusing to a Mason who visits extensively in the various jurisdictions in the States. At the present time there are, in fact, two different rituals used, in England due to the origin of the lodge ih question from either the .A.. ncient or lVrod~rnt as the case might be. The first路 institution of an organized :r..1:asonic bodY in America under authority of the English Grand Lodge was the establishment of St. John's Grand Lodge in Boston in 1733. Before this time, however, there existed a lodge in Philadelphia. whose records from 1731 to 1738 are still in existence. The "Ancient" element predominates in the rituals used in New York, New Jersey, Delaware and Michigan. 'l"he "~1:odern" predom-

The Grand Master reports one Decision, to the effect that a candidate \vell qualified i'n every possible \vay, except that the left hand is missing at the wrist, may be accepted and receive the degrees of Masonry. (Thus, one by one, our bulwarks are fall· ing and the door is being opened wider with each s1,lcceeding year.) One new lodge was organized under the title of "Noli Me Tomgere", a name which, breathlug defiance and intimating a threat, 1vould seem to us incongruous for an institution whose missioon is peace on earth.

FORTY-THIRD ANNUAL COlVIMUNICATION

was held at Charlestown) convening June 26th, 1918. A good attendance greeted the opening) which as usual began with a religious service, consisting of a formal procession to St. James Church where impressive rites were performed by the Grand Chaplain, assisted by the Grand Chaplain of New Brunswick, Rev. R. G. Fulton. The sermon was delivered by the Grand Chaplain of Prince Edward Island Rev. and M. W. L. F. Fullerton. The Grand Master in his address dwells at some length on the "rar and makes this beautiful reference to the warriors who have surrendered all of life: The happy 路warriors are borne by gentle hands to God's o,\vn land of peace, where the fret and fury of battle slip from them like discarded garments, and beside the still waters of that better country they find healing for their wounds. To those who are mourning their dear ones, the unreturning brave "''rho suffered devotedly and died ~vell we extend our heartfelt synlpathy, and pray that the "Great Architect of the 路Universe will enable them to feel that He is their refuge and that underneath are the everlasting arms of His love. Never in our history has the solidarity of our own Dominion been as strong as it is now. The call to arn1S is being recognized as. the call of God. All realize that. "Though we break our Father's pron1ise we have nobler duties first, The traitor to humanity is the traitor most accursed. JHan is more than constitutions, better rot beneath the sod, Than be true to church and state while we're doubly false to God."

* * * He thus alludes to the entrance of the United States into the war: Remembering the incalculable moral influence of the entry of the United States into the路 war and the fact that even now approxImately one million men, out of her inexhaustible store of manhood. are already overseas, we say to our brethren at the front "stand fast." vYe shall ""Tin out; it nlay be this year, but win out we must and shall."

Several Dispensations for ordinary purposes were granted and one Decision of local character reported. Among the "recommendations" we note one suggesting that every lodge 'be required to attend Divine service once in each year. If Masonry could legitimately require each individual member to attend ch urch even "once in a 1lJhile", it would be good for many lodges! There is no report on correspondence.

FORTY-NINTH ANNUAL CO:MMUNICATION.

The Grand Lodge of Quebec met in Annual Communication in the City of lVIontreal, February 12th, 1919, and was opened in Ample Form with a good attendance. Thirty-five Grand Lodges were recognized through their representatives. All the constituent lodges were represented except four. A good showing. We note that in this and in many other Grand Lodges the Grand Secretary proposes, or begins, to read the minutes of last year-and invariably there is a motion to omit. With us' the minutes are read in brief at the close of the session -before they go into print-but possibly we are behind the times. THE ANNUAL ADDRESS.

This is a most worthy document, covering some thirty-four pages, and speaks volumes for the mind and heart which produeed. it. Some of its paragraphs are especially fine, and all exhibit an appreciation of present conditions, in their relation to the future. We quote briefly: These are days in which it is good to live and feel that in such stirring times we, as Masons, are willing and determined to bear our part in the history now being written, and thus carry out ::tIl the traditions and teachings of the Order, which have for centurie~ been our constant guide and have n1ade our institution a marvellous success, paralleling the success of our empire under whose fostering care it has reached its present influence among the Anglo-Saxon race, and bids fair to spread, as never before, among the other peoples of the world. At this time, when mighty empires are apparently crumbling and passing into well-deserved oblivion, and new nations are being created' from the wreckage, we earnestly 'hope that we may be given men of wisdoln and far-seeing vision to carry out the purposes for which the Allies fought and died, that the peoples of the. earth may l)e able to live their lives in perfect peace and prosperity so that "'"aI'S, and rumors of wars, will forever cease and whi eh will inevitably follow if their destinies are founded on justice and equity.

Never had builders such material to mould, and never \vere responsibilities so great in the building of a freer, brighter and happier \\'orld.

Reflecting on the merciful aid of the Supreme Grand Master to 'whom all faithfl;ll hearts had looked and prayed during the years of trial the Grand Master appointed a day of Thanksgiving for the Sabbath following St. John's Day, and a great multitude of lVIasons and others gathering in St. James; an inspiring service ,vas held at the close of which an offering was received aggregating nearly sixteen hundred dollars which was consecrated to the aid of returning wounded and disabled soldiers. The Grand Master reports many Dispensations for minor purposes, and 'makes tender allusion to the many fraternal dead of that and other Grand Jurisdictions. He made many official visitations and reports the condition of the Craft as eminently satisfactory. REV. DUDLEY H. FERREL, GRAND CHAPLAIN.

This address is a most finished and forceful production and we ,vould gladly incorporate it in its entirety, but for the usual reason-'\vant of space. We must, however, give the closing paragraph: Brethren, the world is speaking to us today in both a questioning and appealing "ray. \iVe cannot afford to retreat froln the questioning; "ve nlust hurry for"\vard to meet the appeal. l\1en are tired of their experiments in selfishness, and they long to 'walk the broad highway of the better endeavol'-a road ,\vith' '\vhich the feet of the multitude are none too familiar.

Let us set up, with greater faith, the ancient standards, the value of 'which has sometimes been obscured, but never destroyed; and let us assun1e our rightful place in the advancing host of mankind. \iVe cannot look upon ourselves as a peculiar grouping with a right to exclude the petition of the world's need; ","e cannot rejoice in our O"\Vll riches, for we own thenl not until we share thenl. .A.nd those riches of nloral understanding the 'world needs today above all else. Thus, I cannot help but believe that, as vve allow the spirit of our Fraternity to flow out through the nlany channels "\ve call individual life, I cannot help but believe that the "W1'orld will be lifted out of confusion and despair into the freer, happier and holier life.

Altogether the volume of Proceedings' is in fine form and full of interest, not only to those of that jurisdiction, but to others t as well. But to our mind the crowning feature of the whole is the

REPORT ON CORRESPONDENCE.

This is from the strong pen of our good Brother E. T. D. Chambers, and while far- too brief, covering only some 120 pages, it is excellent throughout. We have never read a report with so much of interest, and, in fact, we rank it, under all the circum· stances, as the most virile and pertinent which has ever come to our table. He discusses many salient phases of existing condi· tions frankly and fearlessly and-ourself being the" judge-he is always right! Long live Bro. Chambers, and may his pen never weaken.

The Grand Lodge of Queensland entered on the thirteenth year of its history under happy auspices, although saddened by the death of Grand Master Hertzberg, whose valedictory was read at the opening of the Special Communication held at Brisbane, July 31st, 1917. We give a touching extract: Brethren: This is to me one of the saddest moments of my life, and, if r falter in addressing you, you will understand it is not through any vain regrets, but rather out of thankfulness that the Great Architect has permitted Ine for so long to take an active part in the promulgation of \vhat to me are the highest ideals of life, "the sublime teachings of our Craft," its altruistic aims and its unbounded charity to all men. For nearly forty-three years I have .humbly labored in the field, and whilst my aims have always been guided by what we would all ('all worthy, I fear I have not always achieved the object I started out with. Yet I have done my best, and any failures were not the fault of the heart, but the outcome of inherent human weakness. lvIy strength has failed me, and I needs must have rest and freedom from responsibility, ··worry and care.

Later in the year a lodge of sorrow was held at which eloquent tributes were paid to his high character and many virtues. The Proceedings of the Grand Lodge were conducted and con·

eluded at four Stated Grand Communications, with some three Special Communications interspersed. None of these occupied more than a fe,,'" hours. The address of the incoming Grand Master was brief but worthy. We give a single extract: Our .Charity Fund now reaches £2,608, and since the inauguration of Grand Lodge the sum of £2,389 has been granted to necessitous l\:fasons and widows. Our "\Vido'YYs, Orphans and Aged :I\fasons Institution has, since its establishment in 1908-nine years ago-expended in keeping orphans the sum of £894, and has a balance to its credit today of about £5,600.

At the Stated Communication held in March a Communication was read from the Masonic authorities of the Argentine Republic, from which we extract: The declaration of the United States of Alnerica-cradle of IVIasonry, which has joined in the conflict-not to obtain advantages, but solely to combat the autocracy of the Kaiser; President '\Vilson having expressed, in his historical docunlent, doctrines "'which, to t1:fe honor of our institution, are l\fasonic, The present position of the Latin-American nations-Brazil, Cuba, Panama and others-in less than a vveek they adhered to the foregoing declaration. The unheard-of barbarity of Prussian 111i1itarism-\\Thich, blind indeed, forgetting that its people belonged to the civilization of the tvventieth century, and applying the advances of science-retrograded to the epoch of the savage hordes, poisoning wells, raping w'omen and scattering svveets containing microbes among the children, to inoculate the weak, collecting prisoners in front of its troops, establishing slavery vvith the Belgium deportations, and finally-to intensify the war of submarines without restriction-declaring' war against the entire human race, violating the Law of Nations, and giving the unheard-of spectacle of an unbridled piracy, permitting us to guess ¥that that autocracy would be capable of on the day in which it was victorious.

address was of such character and worth that we would gladly transcribe it in its entirety, but for want of. space. We must, however, give _our· readers a benefit in the way of a few paragraphs, with regret that we cannot give all: * An €luine.nt historian, now deceased, has said: "Betvveen the reg'ion of fancy and the province of authenticated history lies a border land of tradition full of difficulties which one can neither pass over withou t notice, nor ever, perhaps, fully and finally explain." This is particularly true of Operative Freemasonry, for of all the various trade associations which flourished in the middle ages, none are so rich as the l\1:ason's Craft in ancient lore. in leg-ends which have becon1e traditions, and though faded by time, still persist giving form to our laws and color to our ceremonies. Our operative brethren also stand pre-eminent in the possession of early writings, those ancient manuscripts, wherein are embalmed their traditions, their operative laws and the n10ral code governing their every~day life. And so. the earlier story of Freenlasonry can never be understood 'without a partial review, at least, of those ancient and timehonored documents handed do'\vn from a by-gone ag~. . These "Old Charges" contained the earliest rituals and were read or recited to every apprentice at his reception. ..l-\.S such they rehearsed the traditions of the Craft, the operative la'ws, and the moral la ,V' as ,veIl. Briefly, most of thenl began ,vi th an invocation to "God the Father,". followed by the tradi tional history of the Craft and an enu·n1eration and an explanation of the seven liberal arts and sciences; the founding and the teaching of Geometry in Egypt by "The \V-arthy Clerlie Eue-lid"; the building of the Ten1ple at Jerusalen1; the introduction of lVIasonry into France in the time of Charles l\fartel, and into England in the year A.. I). 926, at York. Then follo"iA r s a number of "Articles" or rules for a Master, with the saIne nUlnber of "Points" for a Craftsman. .A.lTIOng others, he must be of the religion of the country in ","'hich he lived. In quaint language, "He must love well God and Holy Church." An applicant ,vas obliged to prove himself a Freeman, no bondman or slave, of lawful age, clean habits, and of good repute, and to undertake to support the government, "to call each other brother and no other foul name," also to see to it "that noe Fellow slander another behind his back whereby hee may lose his good name." The Apprentice, according to one "Old Charge," was obligated as follows: "These charges that you have received you shall ,vel! and truly keepe not disclosing the secrecy of our Lodge to man, won1an or child; sticke nor stone; thing movable or immovable; soe God you helpe and his holy I)oome. Amen." Your attention is called partiCUlarly to what is known as the "Antiquity J\1:anuscript." It is now in the custody of the "Lodge of Antiquity," hence its name. It is of parchment, nine feet by eleven inches. The Heading consists of an engraving of the Royal Arn1s, and underneath are en1blazoned in separate shields the Arms of the City of London and of the Mason's Company, with this injunction, "Fear God and keep His commandments, for this. is the l

whole duty of man." It is attested by "Robert Padgett, Clerke to the \Vorshipful Society of the Free Ivfasons of the City of London, Anno Domini, 1686." . \Vhat constituted the complete ceremony of admissi"on into the fraternity previous to the fourteenth century will always be a fertile field for speculation, but fronl the "Old IVranuscript Constitutions" supplenlented by Lodge records, we can be sure that since that time and up to the Grand Lodge era the communication of the means of identification formed a part of that ceremony.

These interesting exercises closed with some remarks by the Grand Representative of the Grand Lodge of England. SKM::I-ANNUAL COl\fMUNICATION.

The semi-annual Communication of the Grand Lodge was held in Providence, R. 1., Nov. 19, 1917, at which time reports were received from the War Board and Committee on Jurisprudence. The latter declined to endorse a decision of the Grand Master which practically exempted soldiers or sailors from jurisdictional law, leaving them free to apply to any lodge within the State, thereby choosing their own jurisdiction. Of course, the committee "ras right-in our opinion. We have opened the door to Masonic privileges far路 too widely during the stress of war-and we shall suffer more or less in consequence before the last ripple of this great political storm shall have subsided. The one hundred and twenty-eighth Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge was held in the City of Providence, beginning its labors on Monday, ~1:ay 20th, 1918, with usual ceremonies. The Grand Master, in his opening paragraph, warned the Grand Lodge that a heavy docket was before them in the business demanding their attention. Most of this, however, we find to have been entirely local in interest. Altogether, the address is a careful compendium of matters of importance to the Freemasons of Rhode Island. He refers tenderly to the fraternal dead. He granted many-very many-Dispensations for military purposes. Also a number to appear in public, as lodges-notably, to attend Divine Service. Many degrees were conferred for other jurisdictions and like\vise.. many were asked and granted by other jurisdictions. The Grand Orient of France was formally recognized. There is no report on correspondence.

The initial page of the Proceedings of the Grand Lodge of Saskatchewan presents a splendid picture of the incoming Grand Master, 'which in face and form indicates a man ,veIl worthy of the high position he occupies. Also several pages are given to Emergent Communications for the usual purposes, and several are included in the body of the report. ANNUAL COlVLl\.1UNICATION.

The Twelfth Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge A. F. & A. JYI. of Saskatchewan was held in the City of J\;Ioose Ja'w, cOlnmencing at 10 a. ill. on Wednesday, June 19th, A. D. 1918, A. L 5918, with a good attendance of officers, permanent members and delegates.

The opening ceremonies were as usual after which the Grand Master presented his annual address, which was quite excellent, though .somewhat unusual in character. After an opening paragraph he proceeds: The Grand Chaplain has already expressed our feelings of gratitude to an All 'Vise and lVIerciful Providence, \Vho has again perluitted us to meet, to enjoy the blessings of IVIasonic intercourse; and 路we hav.e reverently lifted up our hearts to the Great A.rchitect of the Universe in acknowledgnlent of His kindness to us, and for His guidance during the past year, and for the harmony and prosperity which has attended the Craft throughout this Grand Jurisdiction.

The Grand Master granted Dispensations for the formation of seven lodges during the year, which certainly indicates an un.. usual degree of prosperity, considering the size of the territory occupied. He constituted four lodges in person. He also held a district meeting in every district. The financial condition of the Grand Lodge seems to be ex.. cellent including the permanent charity fund. There is no report on correspondence, which is explained by the statenlent that the Correspondent is occupied in war work.

is a model in much-especially in its beauty. It contains nothing unnecessary or unworthy, as it seems to us and lacks nothing necessary to the information of the Grand Lodge. The Grand :Master laments the sudden death of Samuel A.' Br01vn, P. G. lVI., and for many years the Chairman of the Committee on Correspondence. The Grand Master reports fevv Decisions and these mostly in the nature' of mere ~xplanations of existing la\vs. He states, however that an .ene1ny alien, .though possessing other qualifications, cannot be admitted. He declines to create an Army Lodge.

He attended the meeting .at Washington City, but thinks little vvas directly accomplished thereby. His reference to the Kaiser and the war is strong: Unscrupulous, grasping, growing first by the accretion of little tracts of territory taken by the sword from its nearest neighbors, gaining strength fron1 its sn1aller conquests, until great enough to participate in the partition of unfortunate Poland, stealing a province here from Holland, there from its present ally and virtual dependent, Austria, filching from heroic France, Alsace and Lorraine, ahvays ready with a cooked-up clain1 of right, which was in truth only the right of the strongest, this people has been and is today a lVenace to civilization and humanity. And almost frOln the first a representative of the present reigning house of Germany has been in evidence. .A nd now, not satisfied with its place as one of the great pO'V\-l"ers of the ","orld, it reaches out for more. Grown arrogant from the successful plundering of its neighbors, it now ain1s at world conquest. Is this arraig"nment too severe; too harsh? I cannot think so. But the hour has struck. 'rhe Nations of the earth ,have risen in their righteous n1ight and out of this chaos of wrong, in travail and pain, the vlorld will be born again. In the spirit of pure altruisn1, incomprehensible to the enen1Y, \ve are fighting, we press on until the \vorld again is free.

The Grand Lodge of Tasmania met in Special Communication February 14th, 1918, to lay the corner stone of the lodge room at Stanley, at which the Rev. H. H. Anvermu delivered a brief but striking address; we quote in part: Brethren: 'iVe have met here this afternoon to lay the foundation stone of a building which is to be a copy, a very humble copy. but ~let a copy, of that 1110st famous of all buildings, the Telnple erected by King Solon1on in Jerusalem. Not here 'will be the beauty of pillar and winding staircase of polished marble and burnished gold, but here, we trust, will be in the spiritual world what is represented by them, and by the b-qilding itself, in the material world. For symbolism is of the essence of Freemasonry, and all that we do has, or should have, its symbolic meaning. First, the building itself will be orientated, that is, it vlill be set due east and west, as all lVIasonic edifices should be, following the pattern laid down by the Temple. In this there lies a deep symbolism. 'Ve, as Masons, firmly believe that the Grand Architect was the builder of the universe. The heavens are His throne, and the earth is, His footstool. From Him all knowledge emanates, for I-!e is the light of the 'Vv"orld. All so-called knowledge that is not fronl Him is but darkness, and only in His shining presence is light. The sun rising in the east synlbolizes the light of true knowledge, ·which He sheds upon the human soul. "Then the SUII is at its meridian, to that part of the earth is given the full light of day, and so the sun is, or should be, always at its lneridian with respect to Freemasonr;y, and our Lodges stretch east to the rising, and west to the setting sun.

The Second Special Grand Communication was held at Ho.. bart, February 28th, at which amendments to the Constitution were confirmed and reports from various boards were received.

1em for relief of Masons and their wives, which indicates that this brave little Grand Lodge is not unmindful of the need of the helpless. The Grand Master in his annual address said, among other things: It is exceedingly gratifying' to me to feel that after over twenty years occupancy of the highest positions in the Grand Lodge of Tasmania I still enjoy your confidence and good will. Is it not then quite natural for one to feel. proud and honored, that, despite increasing years, n1Y ability to continue to uphold the honor and maintain the dignity of this position has been recognized by the IVIasons of Tasmania, and, with the help of God, I trust that this decision v,rill ever be justified.

The Grand Master refers tenderly to the loss by death and illness of worthy brethren, and evinces the fact that Tasmania Freemasons are unswervingly loyal to the mother country. FOR,EIGN CORRESPONDENCE.

The Grand Secretary reports having received the Proceedings of many Grand Lodges, but only reviews, thirteen-six American and seven foreign; Missouri does not appear. His quotations and comments are pertinent and wise. From the half yearly Proceedings of the Grand Lodge of Tasmania, which came to us in the form of a pamphlet of only sixteen pages,. we gather that this jurisdiction has some 32 regular lodges, but some three or four are recorded as "not working", for which no reason is given. There is no record of membership nor any data from which it may be approximated. Special Communication was held at Hobart, August 27 the principal purpose of which Vlas to pass upon certain changes in the Constitution, the principal one of which was in reference to the long-standing trouble as to the place of meeting of the Grand Lodge, both Hobart and Launceston desiring the honor. It was finally settled, after a fashion, by dividing the meetings between the two places and making some adjustment of the expense of travel. J

HALF YEARLY COMMUNICATION.

On the same date, August 29th, and at the same place, the half yearly Communication was held. Only eight lodges were represented.

Reports from the Board of General Purposes and also Board of Benevolence were presented, the last being of special int\~rest, as it showed the true 11asonic spirit, as evidenced hy the fE:)1ief afforded to needy claimants.

ANNUAL ADDRESS

In his Annual Address the Grand Master exhibits not only a worthy zeal for the Order of l\1asonry, but also a wis(~ recognition of possible dangers attending its extension and increasing j)opu1arHy. He objects, to large lodges as giving little hope for advancement or distinction to the great men of the Dlenlbel'ship and suggests that "daughter" or sub-lodges might be formed under the guidance of the mother lodge. He discusses the war in terms touching and eloquent. closing as follows: "'hile we are livi ng' in quiet ease and security, our brave fello'ws are doing so much for us by offering their health and strength, and even their lives, for the defense of dur hearths and homes. The splen<1id services already so brilliantly rendered to the noble causeby our brave fello"rs can never be effaced from the records of tilne. .A.. t the tern1ination of the ,\var thousands of voices will sound their praises as they return homewards with their 'wellearned and victorious honors-\\:rhich, please God, may be soon! l\fany thousands, too, who have never realized their respons'ibility, will, \\"hen the shouts of victory gladden our ears and lig-hten our hearts, stand ag-hast when the nevvs is spread, and hold their manhood cheap when the heroic deeds are chronicled in which they failed. to take a part! The happy dead' "vill . not be forgotten, the bereaved relatives will join in the welcome cries, and their sorro,,"ing- hearts will once more be gladdened by the thoughts that their dear lost ones had not given their lives in vain, but. had all been instrumental in attaining the hUll1anitarian object that ,ve had been forced to fight for. l\1ay Spenser's sentiments on the Return of I-Iappiness be soon consun1n1ated, find a response in all our hearts!

After long storn1s and telupests overblo"vne, ,The sun at length his joyous face doth cleare; So when as fortune all her spight hath sho,,"ne, Some blissful' houres at last n1ust needs appeare.

The ill0st wonderful victory for Ii berty ever recorded has been engraven upon the scroll of Time. The longest battle lines ever knovln have saluted the dove of peace, law has been substituted for war, right for il1ight. Righteousness and justice live. Tyranny and autocracy are dead. Our Declaration of Independence of 1776 has been proclaimed in new Liberty Halls of the nations. They now understand that "all luen are created equal and are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, anlong which are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." The flag of our country has been a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night路 for an hundred and forty and two years, leading the way for the millions across the seas to the promised land of Freedon1 and Hunlanity. vVhen the final triumph came "Old Glory" under foreign skies was borne aloft by two million American freemen, with over a million in camp ready to go. The past year has been one of war and scourge, but Fl~ee颅 masonry at large was present throughout the troublous scenes ministering unto all within the length of its cable tow, which, however, was not of sufficient leng路thto reach all emergencies that confronted us. It is sincerely hoped that in the great reconstruc-

YEAR.

This is my first opportunity to thank the Grand Lodge for the honor conferred upon me one year ago by an election in my absence and when, from physical inability, it 'was impossible for me to be present. I had asked on this account to be passed by, but to my surprise my request was not granted. A commission of seven Past Grand l\1:asters, with the Grand Secretary and other good 1Iasons, in all representing t.wenty-six subordinate lodges, came to my home in Athens and by direction of the Grand Lodge installed 111e as your Grand 11:aster.

The Grand Master granted many Dispensations for minor purposes, but we are glad to note that he refused all requests to set aside the time limit and give other la'ws and usages of Masonry in the case of those going into the service of the United States as soldiers or sailors. He simply stated that the law of the Grand Lodge of Tennessee did not permit him to grant such Dispensations. The Grand Master made many "Rulings" which in the main were approved by the Committee on Jurisprudence. "The Grand Master wisely refused to favor a Military Lodge, and was not willing that any candidate elected from Tennessee should receive the degrees in a Military Lodge. Re made a number of visitations. He recalled two charters for insubordination. He refers to the debt on the Masonic Home and insists that provisions must be made for its payment. He made many recommendations; some of which met with the approval of the Grand Lodge. The Grand Lodge declined to recognize the Grand Orient of France, stating, in effect, that to do so would be to surrender principles fundamental in our Order. The Committee on Correspondence presented a good report, in which Missouri has respectful recognition.

co],r~lUNIC.ATION

'vas held in the City of Waco, beginning on Tuesday, December 3rd, 1918, and closing its labors on Thursday, December 5th. The address of the Grand Master is painstaking and .comprehensive, evidencing a commendable desire to do his whole duty. He refers to French Masonry in somewhat doubtful terms. The Grand Lodge of Texas recognized the Grana Lodge De France in 1917, frankly confesses that he does not knoVv" of other Grand Bodies there, etc. . The matter is indeed obscure, but as we understand it there are three so-called Grand Lodges of France. The Grand Orient-the largest-is Atheistic, in that it has eliminated God from the creed and the Bible from the altar. The Grand Lodge of (De) France occupies almost the same moral position, although it alIo'ws candidates to believe in God and the Bible if they so . incline. But the Independent Grand Lodge of France accepts God and the Bible, with the ordinary moral creed of Masonry. This body, though very small, is recognized by the Grand Lodge of IVIissouri and perhaps many others. Should be by all, as it seems to us. The Grand Master states that no Grand Lodge in a country now at war with the United States has ever been reco.gnized by Texas. The Grand Master devotes much space to reporting on inter路 state courtesies; change of lodges from Oklahoma to Texas \vhen

near the border and affected by movements of population, etc., and he also reports on the question of degrees illegally conferred. If all such 'were reported in the various jurisdictions, in our opinion, the list vvould be a long one. And when the entire history of army lodges and the "hurry-up degrees" is fully written we fear the record will not be a very gratifying one. But the subject is a delicate one and we will not discuss it here or elsewhere. The Grand Master says many fine things. We append a sanlple only for want of space: The heartless hordes of Huns and hired henchmen entered peaceful, industrial Belgium, August, 1914, in quest of the liberties of the world; July 18, 1918, they rediscovered the IVIarne and over it the Alnerican flag waving in memory of the good ship "Lusitania": Noven1ber 10, 1918, the Hohenzollerns, the moving cause of Armageddon, "vithout a cro'\vn or friend, crossed the border of Holland, a helpless neutral neighbor of Belgium and Germany. and behind them closed the iron gates of war; one not the least result of '\vhich, is the liberation of Palestine and Jerusalem, the cradle of religion and traditional IVIasonry. from the follo","ers of Allah and a strange Gott. But n1ay we not hope that freedom and peace v{ill hereafter have none to make theln afraid, though the full realization to many entitled thereto passeth all understanding. "It doth not yet appear ,"vhat V\re shall be, but '\ve know that when He shall appear, we shall be like Him, because we shall see Hin1 He is." Saul, the son of Kish, in search of his father's asses, found a king'doln; \Vilhelln II sought the earth and found a temporary refuge in The Netherlands; and his follo'\vers, in quest of the approbation of their war-lord, have, may we not hopet found liberty and that no more, 'forever, shall exist what has been, since a far-off elder day, when humanity as beasts of burden vv'ere and Caliphs, Sultans, Czars and Kaisers beasts of prey.

The Grand Master closes his worthy address with a sigh of relief in the form of that fine poem beginning: "If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you," etc., etc. And the familiar scripture: "Then he showed me and behold the Lord stood on a ,vall made by a plumb line," etc., etc. Bro. D. F. Johnson, Grand Orator, delivered a most worthy address, from which we' quote a poem which路 is in keeping 'with the general beauty of the oration.

ANNUAL

COl\!l\IUNICATION.

The Grand Lodge of Utah met in its forty-eight Annual Communication in the l\1asonic Temple in Salt Lake City, Tuesday, January 21st, 1919, and was opened in Ample Form by the Grand Master, assisted by other Grand Officers and members-the Grand Chaplain invoking the aid and blessing of Deity. UNUSUAL BUT :MOST 'VORTHY!

After the opening ceremonies the Grand Master invited all Past Grand lViasters to the East where they were introduced and welcomed to seats in the Grand East. The Grand l\1aster also stated that all should become acquainted during the session and to further this ,vorthy end he appointed all Past Grand Masters a \ c0111/inittee on "reception and introduction". ANNUAL ADDRESS.

From this we quote with pleasure and approval: Officers and Brethren of the IVlost \Vorshipful Grand Lodge of Utah: 'Vith peace and harnl0ny prevailing among the craft throughout the State, we assemble for our Forty-eighth . -. \.nnual Communication. A year of stirring and sorely trying times has passed since you placed the gavel of this grand Body in my hands. What with the world war reaching the zenith of its terror and an insidious disease stalking through the country, leaving death in its wake, we have assuredly witnessed a perplexing year. At the very threshold of my report I wish to ackno"\vledge my indebtedness to the officers of the Grand Lodge and to the Past Grand Masters, to whom I have so often been cOlnpelled to turn for help, light and guidance. The uniform courtesy and willing assistance invariably present have been a source of inspiration, without which the path had often been dark and sometimes almost impassable. Our hearts turn in prayerful thanks to the Grand Architect of the Universe for the ternlination of the horrible struggle between

The sacrifice of life in the great cause of civilization and humanity 1118ans the attainluent of the hig-hest pinnacle of honor knovvn to n1an. Death ahvays creates an everlasting- void, but death in glqr~" and honor \vhile fighting for a righteous cause, nevertheless surrounds the void in a golden fran1e ,v'hich never tarnishes and reflects a constantlyauglnenting splendor as the years roll by. For the great army \vho so valiantly ,"vent forth, lVlasonry, \vhich ever marches breast to breast "with civilization, oV\res a debt of gratitude which it can never repay. In our small way and in common ,,"ith other like organizations, \ve lent a helping hand and hope we may be of further service in the tremendous task yet to be accomplished. A WORTHY INNOVATION.

Upon his installation the Grand Master gave notice of a change proposed in the ordinary official visitations, to wit: That in路 stead of exemplifying the worl:c the Grand Officers \vould deliver addresses upon selected subjects; these addresses to be carefully prepared in writing. The change was welcomed by the lodges so fa-v'ored most cordially and we doubt not that such procedure, wherever practicable, would be most welcome and of vastly greater benefit to the craft than the ordinary visitation. On the occasion addresses were delivered on the follo\'/:ring subjects: 'Vhat is Free IVIasonry and \Vhen Did It Originate~' Symbolism in l\fasonry. Requirenlents of l\'1asonry as to Religion. Innovations in lVIasonry. Our Ritual-'\Vhence and How Derived. '\Vashington-the l\{ason. History of the Grand Lodge and Developn1ent o.f the Three Degrees.

The address .closes thus: Conflicts between the employers and the employed are threatening and disaster portends. All ,vill be affected. vVhat organization is better fitted, ,Yith its cosmopolitan menlbership, to withstay this break than is our own? Our members come from every "\valk of life. Employers and employes gather in our Tenlples and Ineet "Arith each other on the level. All have been taught the ennobling yirtues of justice, equality and charity. If in our regular and special meetings the attention of our members be"kept riveted on this subject until they are inspired with a desire and purpose to go out into the walks of life; counseling composure and equanimity among their neighbors, and practicing' the teachings of Masonry in their own dealings with their fellow Inen, such an influence ,vilI be v\"ielded by J\!Iasons and Masonry, with its millions of members, as

THE CEDAR RAPIDS CONFERENCE.

The Senior Grand路 Warden, in the absence of the Grand Master, attended the Conference at Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and "ras well impressed and fully in sympathy with the 'work and purposes of the meeting. His sentiments in support of the purposes of the Conference are most worthy and no doubt the proposed Conference in November, 1919, will be well attended and Freenlasonry in the United States will be more closely cemented thereby, but if the ultimate purpose be to form a General Grand Lodge \ve doubt its success in that respect.

His paragraph with regard to the great war and our relation thereto is what might be expected from a' true American. And his reference to the fraternal dead breathes the spirit of one Vrrho has learned the lesson of brotherly love. The Grand Master reports the craft in good condition generally. He reports having granted rather an unusual number of Dispensations, owing to the exigiencies of the war. DECISIONS.

He reports many rulings on matters covered by existing laws in the course of his correspondence, but only one Decision, to the effect that a man so deaf as not to hear without the aid of a "horn" is not eligible to the mysteries of Freemasonry. (lVlani路 festly correct.)

1\L W. Charles H. Darling, for the Committee on Foreign Correspondence, presented his report. Brother Darling spoke at sonle length conc~rning the report of the committee, setting forth his vieV\'s in regard to such a report and pointing out the superiority of a topical revie,,' over the form usually presented. The report was accepted and ordered printed with the Proc.eedings of this Annual Communication. Follo\ving this .the Committee presented a report covering some ten' pages in a "rell路"written discussion of various salient que.stions appertaining to Freemasonry in general vvith an occasional allusion to some Grand Lodge. It is' not a Re'v'ie'w at an, but, doubtless, something better in the estimate of our brethren of Vermont. We quote one paragraph of general interest: TEl\IPERANCE.

CO~Il\IUNICATIO~.

The Proceedings of the Grand Lodge of Virginia in the Annual Communication held in the City of Richmond, beginning Tuesday, February 11th, 1919, constitute a bulky volume, whose contents are \vorthy of more extended notice than we can give. Especially interesting is the address of the Grand Master, which covers altogether more than one Ji'undred pages, indicating in its detail a most strenuous year for the Grand l\iaster as also a patient and faithful regard to duty. Virginia is famous for her strong, talented men-"one of whom he is, evidently, which"! Unurn quo1"um ?nagna paTS-HOI' words to that effect". From one of the many pages of beautiful sentiment we give a"n extract with sincere regret that we may not copy more. Referring to the splendid history of the Grand Lodge, he says: * The flowers that have blossolned along its path"way have been l)lanted by those whose sufferings have been relieved and the sw"eet fragrance that has l)ervaded and filled its path,vay comes fronl the grateful hearts of hun1anity," the v,rido'ws and orphans, and distressed brothers 'whose lives have been made brighter and whose tears have been \viped away and whose grief has been assuaged.

It is said that Sandalphan, the angel of prayer, gathers the prayers as he stands and they change into flowers in his hands, into garlands of purple and red, and through the gates of the city immortal is wafted the fragrance they shed. Tonight let our memories go down the corridors of time to the organization of the Grand Lodge of Virginia in \Villiamsburg so many years ago, and as we go back in memory we can recall the glorious acts of IVlasonry. vVonderful, indeed, has been the influence that has been exerted in bringing men closer together and in carrying into their hearts sunshine and dispelling darkness; in implanting joy where grief did dwell; imparting the lesson that happiness comes from making others happy; and inculcating the lessons that men should look with pitying eye upon their weaker brother; that they should stretch forth their hands to sustailf and comfqrt a falling brother: that they should give out of their abundance to those in need; and they should tie their brethren to thelnselves ,vi th the golden thread of brotherly love.

The address is largely occupied with the war, its results and aftermath; ~ith tender reference to the dead he quotes the beautiful lines: "In Flanders Field the poppies grow Bet,veen the crosses ro,v on row That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing,fly, Scarce heard alnid the guns belo,v. vVe are the dead. Short days ago vVe lived, felt dawn, saw sunset flow Loved and were loved; and now we lie, In Flanders Field. Take up our quarrel vvith the foe! To you, from falling hands vve throw The torch. Be yours to hold it high! If ye break faith with us who die, \~re shall not sleep, though poppies blow In Flanders Field."

and also: "Sleep on, ye brave. The shrieking shell The quaking trench, the startled yell, The fury of the battle hell Shall ,valce you not, for all is well; Sleep peacefully, for all is well. Your flaming torch aloft we bear, "Vith burning' heart on oath we swear To keep the faith, to fight it through, To crush the foe, or sleep with you In Flanders Field."

The proximity of Virginia to our war preparations rendered it inevitable that a heavy burden would be laid on the lodges in

the "vay of conferring degrees, and we note that many-many Dispensations vvere granted with reference to this and other demands arising out of the times and conditions. And we note, with pleasure, that the Grand Master rules that no charge should be nlade for such (courtesy) work. Just like Virginia. The Grand Master reports the necessity of raising the dues (for all purposes) to $2.00. He reports the Masonic Home in excellent路 condition. He created one new lodge. He (justly) condemns the issuing of a circular by churcheswithout authority-asking aid from Masonic lodges on the plea that their corner stones were laid by Masons. (Wonderful-we never heard of such a thing before. Must have been done in the bac7cwoocZs of Virginia.) The Roll of Honor covers 73 pages. The list of casualtie~ only four, 'which sho"vs that our Virginians did not have the opportunity they usually seek-and find-of being in the firing line in every case. If we urged a single criticism on this excellent volume it \vould be that we find no index, rendering it difficult for the re~ viewer or reader to find any particular item desired. However, ","e find the sa.me deficiency in many, if not most, others. REPORT ON CORRESPONDENCE.

The address of \velcome by the IVlayor, Bro. C. IV1. Riddell, met with 'happy response by Bro. James H. Begg, Junior Grand \Varden. In the ANNUAL ADDRESS,

after a happy introduction the Grand Master alludes to the fact that the meeting of the Grand Lodge \vas appointed for Spokane, but that realizing that to do so would cost the Grand Lodge more than $2,000 in expense of travel he appealed their claim in favor of Tacoma, thus saving to the Grand Lodge the sum stated.

It lTIUst be clearly understood and frankly stated that no one goes to the l\[asonic Honle who can possibly find shelter or the necessities of life elsewhere.

When children are able to care for aged parents and shamelessly leave them. to the charity of the Masonic Home it is an act to be condemned in strong terms. The Grand Master speaks in most kindly terms of the Grand Secretary and commends him to the consideration of the Grand Lodge as so conditioned in health and circumstances as to need an annual vacation and a larger salary. This, we are glad to say, met ,vith hearty response and $300 was added to the salary for the year and a month's vacation ordered. We are glad to note that the Grand Master denied many requests for Special Dispensations. One in particular; in its connection, excites surprise. The action of. the Grand Master denying a request to attend Divine service in regalia ~vas not repudiated by the committee, but they did not approve and on their recommendation by-law 285 was so amended as to add "Divine Service" to the list of Masonic occasions. We regret this and think it opens the door to much evil in the future. But we will not discuss the matter. Our reasons for regretting this should be easily understood. The Grand Master wisely warns the craft against the unauthori.zeeZ peripatetic lecturer, who for his own private gain proposes to deliver himself before any lodge which will hear him. All such should be met with scant courtesy. The address of the Grand Orator, Bro. J. Hugo Latsch, is a most worthy prOduction, evidencing a high order of mind and heart. We would be glad to copy extensively, but for want of space. REPORT ON CORRESPONDENCE.

This report covers 96 pages, and is of high order; coming from the pen of Bro. McAllaster, it could not be otherwise. His quotations, although somewhat rare, are always judicious, and while we do not agree with him in every conclusion, we admit freely that his opinion may be nearer right than our own. He suggests, ho\vever, his doubt as to whether the pUblication of the details of the report on Appeals and Grievances should be published. (With this conclusion many will agree.)

Riley, who gracefully retires from the position of Grand Master in nominating as his successor Sir William Ellison McCartney, Governor of Western Australia, indicates a splendid manhood well '\vortIiy of high relation to the Church of England as 'well as to Freemasonry. Both pictures ap~ pear on the initial pages. PROCEEDINGS FOR THE YEAR.

The first Quarterly Communication of the Grand Lodge was held in Masonic Hall at Boulder, July 26th; the second at Perth, October 26th; the third at Perth, January 24th, and the fourth, or Annual Communication, at Perth, April 25th, 1918. The outstanding fact of the first Quarterly Communication ,vas the address of the Grand 1faster, from the introduction of ,vhich we quote: vVorshipful Brethren and Brethren: You will, I anlsure, quite' enter into ll1y feelings 'when I tell you that I an1 particularly pleased to be present with you this evening-there have been mOlnents during the past twelve months when I have thought it quite possible that I should never see the goldfields any more. One such moment 'was at our last COlnmunication here, when I was warned that I should never come back again if I went to the front. Other' such moments have been 'when I have seen shells bursting quite near n1e and vvondered vlhere the next would fall-or when Iny bed shook because enen1Y airn1en were dropping bombs close by-or, worst of all, 'when I heard, a torpedo burst under n1e ",'"hen I "ras on a transport. However, here I am, and I vvish first of all to say ho,,, grateful I was to the Brethren who gave me such a right hearty welcome on my last visit to the fields. Life at present is a burden-we are all filled 'vlith anxiety for the safety of our country-for the success of our efforts to conquer a terrible enemy, and for the lives of those w'e love vvho are fighting for us. This anxiety affects us in different vvays-some look anxious and careworn and become irritable and difficult to live with; others drov.rn or try to drown their anxiety in pleasureslegitimate or other,vise-some are feverishly trying to get all they

133 can out of the ,var. Some men \vho used to be bright and cheerful have becon1e morose and sullen-V\>"'hile others are only too anxious to tell everyone they can corner ho\v they \v'ould end the war if they only had the chance.

The Grand l\1"aster gives interesting items of history in connection with the organization of the Grand Lodge of England. The cardinal facts, however, are about as generally understood. He grants a dispensation for the creation of one new lodge. He expresses great appreciation of the help received from the Grand Secretary and much regrets his absence on account of sickness. At the Second Quarterly Communication the address is brief, chiefly occupied with a recital of matter pertaining to the war. I-Ie grants various minor Dispensations, gives one Decision on the worn subject of physical qualifications and the Communication receives several reports of committees, chief of which in interest is that relating to the distribution of the Benevolent Fund to needy brethren and widows. The Third Quarterly COlnmunication was of little interest, except to the membership of that jurisdiction. The address of the Grand l\1aster was brief, the principal item being a report of the creation of a lVlasonic Bureau in France for the entertainment of Freenlasons from all quarters, etc., etc. He reports a Communication from the Grand Lodge of France asking recognitioD, to which he responded in guarded terms, expressing hope for the future, etc. Sir Wm. Ellison McCartney was elected Grand Master and responded in a brief but pleasant address. At the ANNUAL

cO~n\'!UNICATION

held April 25th, 1918, the Grand Master introduces his address 'with these words: 'Vorshipful Brethren and Brethren: I bid you welconle, on behalf of Grand Lodge, to perhaps one of the largest gatherings of Freemasons ever held in this part of the world. "\Ve meet on a memorable day-the day on which we think of one of the greatest of the exploits of our gallant soldiers-a day ever to be remenlbered with gratitude and with pride. 'Vith pride for ~rhat our nlen did,-,vith gratitude for the sacrifices they made. 'Ve meet, too, on a day of brightness amidst the gloom of the present-on which ,ve have heard of one of the most soul-stirring episodes which nlan has ever even dreanlt of. Our Navy, keeping its quiet and unceasing vv~atch, has done a deed which will remain

as one of the most daring, courageous and grand exploits among the many great things that Navy has done through all the long years of its history.

The Grand' ~laster confers Past Grana Rank on a number of worthy brethren, which procedure is unknown to us, but no doubt is all right on the other side of the sea. Touching the present condition of the craft in comparison with the past he thus reports: In the year 1900 our Grand Lodge commenced its career 'with a of 2,000, conlprised in 33 Lodges; today there are 98 Lodges on the Roll, altho,ughsome of them liave an1algalnated, and others are not \vorking, and the membership has increased to 4,277, \vhich shoVv"s a gain for the year of 146. It is satisfactory to kno\v that during the years of the "war our membership has steadily increased, and that during the year just ended no less than 49 Lodg'es sho1v a gain in numbers. The Lodges sho"wing the greatest increase of Inembership are Star of the vVest, 19; lVIoora, 11, and Perseverance, 12, w'hile there is no outstanding case of a Lodge that has lost seriously in numbers. The Geraldton Lodge, ,vith a Inelubership of 101, again takes pride of place. member~hip

occupies" some 47 pages, exhibiting a good deal of painstaking labor on the part of the Grand Master. and a very careful attention to details. He introduces himself with some lofty sentinlent, at the same time decrying his ability. He discusses the worth of some distinguished dead. He made many Decisions, which were generally approved by the Committee on Jurisprudence. He granted 11tany Dispensations-in fact, ten (10) pages are occupied 路with "permissions" granted to local lodges for ordinary reasons, but especially for what we may term "war work", and fifteen pages are given to Dispensations for "courtesy" work of the same character; that is, conferring degrees for other Grand Jurisdictions.

The Committee on Masonic Home reported "in extenso", and to the effect that having examined many sites offered them, the most eligible one in their estimate was a property-several small tracts-comprising about sixty . (60) acres in the immediate vicinity of Parkersburg, which could be purchased at $33,000.00. This report was adopted and ~he committee continued with instructions to conclude the purchase, taking all necessary steps to secure perfect title, etc., and to insure the buildings on said properties at once. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE.

Our good Brother Atkinson presents a most excellent report, having manifestly a free hand as to the space occupied. He compliments Missouri with several pages of kindly comment. The address of Grand Master Higbee is pronounced "long, strong and full of patriotism". He quotes from the same, several paragraphs. He refers to the report on correspondence and differs from usnaturally-as to our suggestion last year touching a Decision reported by the Grand Master. His reason seems valid, especially the first. But the "law," may itself be wrong!

ANNUAL

CO}r{lVIUNICATION

THE

GRAND

LODGE

,\VISCONSIN.

The Seventy-fourth Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted IVlasons of the State of vVisconsin was opened in Ample Form in the Scottish Rite Cathedral, corner of Van Buren and Oneida streets, in the City of JVlihvaukee, at the hour of two o'clock p. ro., on Tuesday, June 11th, 1918, with a good attendance and spirit prophesying a pleasant session. After opening in Ample Form and minor preliminaries, the Grand l\1"aster presented his Annual Address, "which was a wise and thoughtful production, combining beauty of sentiment with ample evidence of Inatured conclusions on IV[asonic conditions in the light of current events. vVe quote with pleasure: Brethren of the Grand Lodge: Once more and for the seventy-fourth time the Grand Lodge of the State of\iVisconsin n1eets in annual communication. Laying 3;side for a brief space our ordinary .pursuits, in a spirit of consecration to the cause of IVIasonry and 'with wills aroused to act only for its highest interests, "\\~e assen1ble here to review its progress during the year just passed, and, if possible, to make it a stronger and more efficient force in the new year which is waiting to greet us.

One nlillion Anlerican soldiers in France-two million under arms-three million before the' year is out. vVhat dream is this! Bank clel:ks, salesn1en and farmer boys a few months back, are now eng-aging the 'enenlY in n10rtal combat above the clouds which hang over the trenches in France. France! a 'word never long out of our thoughts and our talk. And there is Soissons and Noyon and Ypres and Rheims and St. IvIihiel and Pont au IVIousson and Cantigney","ho shall ever forget the Village of Cantig'ney which American arms so gloriously captured and now holds, and also tl1is latest battle at Chateau Thierry, where our soldiers of the sea proved their valorous "';\1'o1'th, "\Vhat strange names are these which hold our thoughts in bondage through all these an~ious days! Liberty motors, battle planes, U-boat destroyers, transport ships, cantonments,

.:4 ppendi.r.

137

governluent operation of railroads, food restrictions in this garden of the earth, what new and UnfalTIiliar subjects now fill our ll1inds and arrest our attention after the lapse of only a short year! All these things are the tangible expression of the ,vill of Anlerica to bri,ng victory to the cause to \vhich she is so rig'hteously committed. It is the cause of HUll1anity and Liberty and Justice and Right, and contending against us are' forces, now in the very ascendancy of their powers and successes, 'which seek to impose their will upon the free nations of the world, bring into subjection and bondage entire peoples, uproot the hard-won liberties of men, destroy the rich treasures of our civilization, and desolate mankind with the barbarous reign of a ruthless luilitary autocracy. He-re is the sacred' cause for which our country fights, precious to us as her citizens and dOUbly precious to us as American IV[asons, The words Democra'cy, Liberty, Hunlanity, Justice, Truth, Brotherhood, Peace, are "music dear to our ears beyond the richest strains of Tuscan softness or Castellian majesty."

After a tender reference路 to the fraternal dead he states that his correspondence has been exceedingly heavy, including 1,300 letters and 100 telegrams. He makes several appointments as Grand Representatives near the Grand Lodge of Wisconsin, in answer to request of other Grand Lodges. The Grand Master created two new lodges during the year. He held in person, or by proxy, six Emergent Communications; three for constituting; two for laying corner stones, and one for dedication. THE ,VASHINGTON CONFERENCE.

Referring to this the Grand Master closes his deliverance as follows: The mutual exchange of ideas was a benefit to everyone present, even though no tangible results were accomplished. I believe that a National Masonic Council of Defense and a huge war fund would accomplIsh little more, compared with what is no,v being done, than to advertise Preenlasonry and its achievenlents in the public press-a thing which cheapens it and which it .neither needs nor desires. I believe that this and every other Grand Jurisdiction is amply competent to manage its own affairs and to measure up to the high standard of the responsibilities of this hour without help or interference from any other source. ':Vith these thoughts in mind I declined to accept an invitation given 111e by the Grand :Master of the State of New York, to attend another like conference held at New York City on the 12th day of April, this Y<i'ar.

In conclusion the Grand Master delivers a sentiment which we heartily endorse. It is too often the case that all discussion

138

Appendix.

[Sept.

is confined to a fe'w,members while others, equally wise and worthy, through modesty, refrain from speech. This should not be. I have sometimes gone home froln a communication of this Grand Lodge feeling that we have too readily approved every report of every committee, that we have too quickly passed legislation affecting deeply the welfare of the craft. Let us not do that this time. I like to see differences of opinion expressed, contrary views brought to light, that, after hearing all sides to all questions, and looking at them from every angle, we may, arrive at sane and sound judgments. I, therefore, invite you to the freest discussion and the widest debate and the most thoughtful consideration of all measures to the end that when we leave this hall we may go in the consciousness that we have done our duty and our V\thole duty to the craft of "\Visconsin. ' THE :M:ASONIC HO:ME.

This institution is in its infancy, having at present only seven inmates, but 'with room for more and the expectation of building a more commodious and worthy Home in the future, for which funds are being provided. The expenditure last year was large, comparatively, nearly twenty thousand dollars, but explanation' is made that the farm was in poor condition and to supply and manage it cost some thirteen thousand dollars. The question as to the practical value of a "farm" in connection with a l\!Iasonic Home has not yet been answered, to our satisfaction, at least. The assets of the Home are nearly seventy-five thousand dollars. The Committee on Charity reported donations of more than two thousand dollars. CORRESPONDENCE.

We can honestly commend this report; in fact, our good Brother Jenks is one of the very best of the members of the guild, in point of ability. He is kind to Missouri and ourselffor which-thanks. He credits us with only 369 lodges-instead of nearly twice that number-which doubtless was .an error of the proofreader. As we unfortunately misrepresented Wis'consin as to the eligibility of saloon keepers we will call it even, however.

One year ago it ,vas the. hope, and, I might say, the expectation by all, that the excessive cost of living ,vould gradually be reduced.

In this we have been sadly disappointed, and from the present condition there seems but little prospects for any material reduction in the near future. The Board of Directors are using the strictest economy in the management of the trust placed in their hands, and while this close attention is given by the directors, they have kept

up the high standard and reputation which the Home has ahvays enjoyed in the past. ThQ vresent rate of income ","as sufficient to pay all the expenses a.nd we think the cost of maintenance has reached its high poilJ t. 1\'Iay the future sho路vV at least a gradual re~ duction, is our vvish. ORDER OF THE EASTERN STAR.

In the past year there was no new building to furnish as in former years. The Advisory Board, under路 the faithful supervision of Sister Ethel C. Stansbury, ably assisted by Sister Ella Jean Flanders, have found plenty of work and assistance to the llome by replenishing kitchen 'ware, dishes, beds, bedding, linen, towels, and last Easter gave to every girl in the Home an "Easter Dress"; the boys, caps and ties; the old women, waists, and old men, ties. They are so untiring and unselffish in finding out what was needed that it is impossible to enumerate 'Yhat they are doing only to say they have in the past year,' by what they have furnished, saved the 11asons of the State several thousand dollars. The work of the Eastern Star cannot be too highly commended. What a blessing that the Masonic Home have their assistance and guidance and is fully appreciated by every member of the Masonic Home Board. l\fay God bless them in their good work. RICE ESTATE.

December, 1918, I accompanied our Attorney, Dorsey A. Jamison, to Cowgill, Mo., 'where we made a settlement of this estate \vith Mrs. Effie. P. Rice, the widow of Bro. Jacob W. Rice, who in his ''lill gave one-half of his estate to his wife, and a life interest in the other half to his wife and on her death the one-half in 'which she had a life .interest was given to thervlasonic Home. Heirs contested the amount given to the 11asonic Home, vlhich 'was tried and the "Will" was sustained in the Circuit Court and ,vas appealed to the State Supreme Court. While the case \vas pending in the Supreme Court a compromise was effected by the Home paying $6,000 to the heirs. This ""as agreed to when 11rs. Rice agreed to .turn over to the Home at once and thereby relinquish her life interest in the second half of the estate. We received in notes unsecured and secured, United States bonds, and one piece of property in Cowgill, all at an estimate

value of $51,096.35, being the one~half interest of said estate which cost the Home expenses, attorney's fees and compromise, $14,,, 056.17, which was paid at various times out of the General Fund. At a meeting of a full Board of Directors held July 11th, 1919, they transferred this fund as follows: Returned to the General Fund amount expended And placed in the Endo'wment Fund the balance

FULTON ESTATE.

The Home has, through their Attorneys, Jamison & Thomas, successfully defended the suit brought by the heirs in the United States District Court at Kansas City, which was taken by appeal to the Court of Appeals at St. Paul, lVIinnesota, and then to the United States Supreme Court of Washington, D. C. This gives to the Home at a future date on the death of the heir an amount of $34,361.22, as reported by the Probate Court in the County of Platte, Missouri. It cost the Home in court costs and Attorney fees $8,818.34, vvhich will leave a net balance of $25,542.88, ","hieh the Home will in the future collect. The brethren are to be congratulated on the successful term!-nation of these suits and the amouJ+ts will appear as received in the Endowment Fund. ENDO,\Vl\IENT FUND.

This fund \vas increased in the past year $40,007.66, having received from Robert E. Block $1,000.00, Nathan Schloss $513.57, Karl Bakrow $100.00, A. P. Christianson $1,067.91, Robert Lungstras $286.00 and Rice Estate $37,040.18, all of above placed in the hands of the Trustees.

The Directors request that the representatives present will take these reports home and carefully read them so that they can let the brethren in their lodge have a full and intelligent understanding of the great 'York their l\'Iasonic Home is doing in caring for the sick and destitute among our old brethren and sisters, and the Masonic orphans placed in our charge. l\{ay God's blessing rest on each member of this order fGr the good work they are doing.

The Finance Committee, through its Chairman, has the honor of making the follo\ving report: "V. Brother Sol E. Waggoner, President of the Home and one of the Trustees of the Endowment Fund, "V. Brother Virginius O. Saun.. del's, Brother J. l\1cLachlan and myself, as Chairman of the Finance Committee, .on Saturday, the 30th day of August, 1919, met by appointment at the safety vaults of the Mississippi Valley Trust Company of St. Louis to examine the securities of the Endowment Fund. The various papers contained in the box "V ere examined. "Ve found t,venty-tvvo loans ranging from $1,500.00, the lowest, to $15,000.00, the highest. These loans are all evidenced by notes secured by first deeds of trust on approved real estate, accompanied by either abstracts or guarantees of title, sho\vn in each instance to be in the borrower. Principal o~ the loans aggregate $129,475.00. Interest due on all loans has been paid, amounting to $8,560.29. In addition to the loans, $19,900.00 of the fund is invested in Liberty Bonds and notes, as follows: $ 3,500.00 paying 4 per cent. $11,400.00 paying 4~ per cent. $ 5,000.00 of Victory notes paying 4 %: per cent. In addition to the above there has also been received from the Rice Estate $18,000.00 of United States Liberty Bonds bearing 4~ per cent and $19,040.18, of 'which $18,950.00 is principal and $90.18 accrued interest, of secured and unsecured notes, making a total received from the Rice Estate of $37,040.18. On examination of the books of the St. Louis Union Bank there 'was found to be $21.07 cash on hand. This makes a total amount in the Endo\vment Fund of $186,~ 436.25, an increase of $40,007.66 over 1918. We would again call the attention of the Freemasons of l\Iissouri to the fact tbat the investments of the Fund are satisfactory, and 'it

REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 22, 1919. Mr. Sol E. 1Vaggoner, President at the lJIasonic Home Boat'd, St. Louis, Missouri. DEAR BROTHER WAGGONER:

The Executive Committee of the Masonic Home Board has had, as usual, many matters of grave importance presented for its consideration and action. As the years go by and the Fraternity and O. E. S. increase in numbers its labors become more exacting and requires closer application. In the solution of the questions presented the Committee has been moved by a desire to effectively accomplish the purposes for which the most genuinely charitable instit.ution in this State "tvas established. To promote the best interpsts of the most important charity ever undertaken by any organization in the State of l\tIissouri demands of those charged with this duty the most sincere service they possess. As you know, life has been more strenuous, unusually exacting and varied have been our duties, but as you have been present at every meeting of the Committee and are familiar with its actions it is not considered necessary to enter into a detailed report, as you will present the essential details in your annual report to the Grand Lodge. We cannot, however, close without expressing our appreciation of the wonderfully helpful assistance rendered to this Committee and the members of the Home family by the Advisory members of the Board-the ladies representing the Order of the Eastern Star. Their ministrations have covered every possible need of the Home. Their presence and ''lords of good cheer and comfort has been as a shaft of sunlight penetrating the fancied mist and miasma in the minds of those who are liable to become discouraged and think life no longer worth living. In supplying, without cost to the Fraternity or the Home Board, so many articles for the comfort and happiness of both old and young, they have demonstrated that their hearts and souls are in this '\vork. Trusting that the judgment of the brethren will be that we have wrought diligently and wisely, I am, Fraternally yours, R. R. KREEGER, Chairman, Executi,ve OO'inrnittee.

ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE'S REPORT.

JOHN T. SHORT, Ohai'rman, R. R. KREEGER, D. M. WILSON.

REPORT OF HOUSE COMMITTEE. Sol E. Waggoner, Esq., Pres'ident of Masonic Home,

St. Louis, lJ!issowri. DEAR SIR AND BROTHER:

In behalf of the House Committee, I submit the following re~ port for the year ending September 1st, 1919: By reason of the efficient luanner in which Brother Waggoner, l\frs. Engel and l\1rs. Collins have discharged the duties assigned to them by the Board of Directors, there has been very little work to be performed by the House Committee during the last fiscal year. A second year of the nevv plan of adUlinistering the affairs of the l\'Ia~ sonic Home by the Pre~ident discharging the duties of superintendent, lVII's. Engel as matron of the young people, and lVII'S. Collins as matron of the old people, has again demonstrated the "wisdom of the Board of Directors in adopting this plan. There has not been oc~ casion for holding House Committee meetings more often than once a month, at which all the members thereof were usually present. In this ,yay, this Committee has kept in touch 'with the practicable operation of the Home. At the last session of the Grand Chapter of the Order of Eastern Star, IVIrs. Ethel C. Stansbury was re-elected on the Advisory Board, and vvas again immediately appointed by our President,. on the House Committee. The wisdom of such election is realized and understood by those 'who are in constant touch with the management of the Home. She is always ready to respond to any call of old or young members of the Home. We cannot say too much in praise of

the great work she is doing and the aid that she is constantly aren~ dering to the House Comlnittee. The St. Louis Christmas Committee has continued to do its good ,vork during the last year. We do not feel that ,ve can conclude this report vvithout referring to the many generous donations from the various Masonic and Eastern Star bodies and individuals throughout the State. We desire to extend the thanks of this Committee and the Board to each and all ""vho have so kindly added to the pleasure of the members of our Home family. Fraternally submitted, DORSEY A.

HOSPITAL REPOR'T. :AfT. Sol E. Waggone'r,

PresicZent oj 111asonic H01ne oj Missouri, St. LoUis, ]fissOUT'i. DEAR SIR AND BROTIIER:

I herewith submit for consideration a tabular statement o~ num~ bel' of calls made in this institution for medical attendance during the past year endingSeptenlber 1st, 1919. Our Home has been again blessed because of hearty conditions 'which exist among the children. There has been, of course, con~ siderable sickness during the past winter due to the prevalence of the "fiu", which attacked nlany of the children, giving rise to many cases of pneun10nia, but ""vith no fatalities. Our old folks have had to endure the accustonled iufirnlities of age, coupled with intercurrent attacks of various complaints. At times during the year on account of the prevalence of the "fiu" ,ve "vere crowded with the care of the sick, b.ut our nurses, under the supervision of Miss Hazard~ have faithfully stood by and \vorl{ed hard, although they were sougp.t for and offered better and more lucrative positions else\vhere, until the situation becanle changed to ordinary conditions. The Consulting Staff have responded very promptly whenever called on for their counsel and advice, ready and active at all times and on all occasions to give their aid and help, keeping in touch with every minor detail of the institution.

REPORT OF ATTORNEYS. Sol E. Waggoner, Esq., Presiclent of Masonic HO'Jne of MissOU1 i, St. Lo'uis, 1J1is80uri. M

DEAR SIR AND BROTHER:

We hereby submit, as attorneys for the Home, our report for the year ending September 1st, 1919. First. According to our report of September 1st, 1918, the Jacob W. Rice will contest case was pending in the Supreme Court of 1\tIissouri upon appeal by the contestants of the will. Mrs. Effie P. Rice, the widoV\r of Brother Jacob W. Rice, was anxious to have this litigation disposed of. The contestants of the will offered to dismiss their appeal to the Supreme Court upon the payment to them of $7,500.00, in addition to what 'was due them under the will. Mrs. Rice agreed to pay $1,500.00 thereof and the Board of Directors of the Home agreed to pay $6,000.00 thereof on the condition that Mrs. Rice would immediately divide up the estate and relinquish her life estate in the one-half' thereof "\vhich ,vas devised to the l\fasonic Home, subject to her life estate therein. This $7,500.00 was路 paid to the contestants of the will in November, 1918-$1,500.00 thereof having been paid by l\frs. Rice and $6,000.00 by the l\fasonic Home. Thereupon the suit in the Supreme Court was disnlissed and Mrs. Rice resunled the administration of the estate under the v;rill and delivered to you, as President of the Masonic Home, United States

1919.]

AppendLtt;

249

bonds, cash and notes aggregating the sum of $51,096.35, as the interest of the Home in said estate under the will. According to the statutory value of the life estate of Mrs. Effie P. Rice in the one-half of said estate which was given by the will to the Home subject to her life estate-it amounted to $22,956.12, which, added to the $51,096.35 which was due the Home under the will, makes $74,052.47 as the value received froln the estate of Judge Jacob W. Rice and Mrs. Rice. This suit has, therefore, been finally disposed of and settled in the above mentioned manner. Second. The case of Welch vs. Scott, to contest the 'will of Mrs. Elzie Fulton, according to our report of September 1st, 1918, was pending in the United States Court of Appeals, on appeal by the contestants of that will. Since our last report, the United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit, affirmed the judgment of the 10\\1e1' court sustaining the will. Thereupon the appellants attempted to take the case to the Supreme Court of the United States, but the latter court refused to entertain the appeal. The effect of this made a final disposition of this case by affirnling the judgment of the United States District Court of Kansas City, sustaining this will. Under this will the lVlasonic Home will receive at least $35,000.00 and the accumulation of the fund may considerably exceed that amount. This fund is now in the hands of the trustees under the will and cannot be paid over until the death of 1\1rs. Lizzie Welch, the daughter of l\rrs. Elzie Fulton. By virtue of the foregoing, this case has also been finally disposed of in favor of the Home. Third. In our report of September 1st, 1918, we refer to the J. Logan Busby 路will contest case, pending in. the Circuit Court of Mississippi County. Since that time, the case has been tried and finally disposed of-sustaining the will. We aTe reliably informed that the Masonic Home will eventually receive from this estate about $7,500.00. Fourth. The Whittlesey and McLain will contest cases referred to in paragraph "4th" of our report to you of September 1st, 1918" are still路 pending in court and are undisposed of. Fifth. Since our last report, the estate of Andrew Peter Christianson has been settled in the Probate Court of the City of St. Louis, and the executor, Brother Robert Lungstras, has generously given to the Home his commissi~ns in this estate, amounting to $286.00. This is in addition to the several thousand dollars vvhich the Home has received from this estate under the will. Sixth. Some other small cases have been tried and disposed of since our last annual report, which we have heretofore made reports .

REPORT OF AD,VISORY COMMITTEE. To the P1"esident ancl Boar(Z of Directors of the 211asonic Home: BRETHREN: The close of another official year brings the deeper conviction that the members of the great Order of the Eastern Star could have no greater ","ark than that of assisting the Masonic f-Iome. The activities of this Board during the year just passing have

1919. ]

251

been almost too varied to enumerate. Our policy, as ever, is to maintain the Eastern Star standard of helpfulness and to assist the management of the Home in every way possible. Sonle of the items of expenditures on our books are as follows: Gas bake oven, Christmas gifts to old and young, n umerous car~ pets and rugs, furniture, hospital supplies, dishes and silver\vare, table and bed linen, to\vels, Ne\v Year's treat, Victrola and records, painting chapel and boiler building, carpet cleaning, gifts of clotb;ing at Easter time, repairing and re-upholstering furniture, renewing shades in entire plant. The renovating and repainting of the chapel and the refurnishing of two sun parlors in the Hospital Building are perhaps the nlost important of our achieveUlents. We are sorry indeed to report the continued invalic1islu of our beloved Vice-President, Mrs. Louise J. 1V1oore. We are thankful to know that she is comfortable and hope that she will continue to improve. The election last year of 1\1rs. Ella Jean Flanders as President of the Advisory Board has added a to\ver of路 strength to our Committee, her well-knovln business qualifications, together with her ever vlil1ingness to sacrifice for this "rork has made the duties of the resident member easier and extremely pleasant. The hearty co-operation of the matrons of the Home, 1\11's. IV!. E. Engel and IVIrs.N. E. Collins, has been gratefully appreciated by the Advisory Board. We wish also to thank, in behalf of the Eastern Star, all 'who have by words and deeds of kindness added 'to the comfort and hap~ piness of the Home family. Words of apprec~ation of the kindnesses and courtesies of the members of the Board of Directors will, I am sure, lose nothing of their sincerity by their repetition. These gentlemen do everything to show their appreciation of our humble efforts and ,ve are路 deeply gratful to them. With a prayer in our hearts for the continued success of this \vonderful institution, we are, Sincerely yours, ETHEL C. STANSBURY, SecTetary.

LETTER TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FROM THE MATRON OF THE CHILDREN. We find ourselves at the end of another year that brings with it many changes. The general character of the Home is changed, there are many new faces added, and a number of the fauliliar ones gone. Last year five of our largest girls were given a business course and are now filling nice positions with great credit to themselves and the Home. The children here now are small, the average age ranging from eight to twelve. "Ve have had our usual round of entertainments from the Christmas Committee and other sources' which included boat rides, picture sho\vs, auto rides and last, but not least, the watermelon 'feast. Everyone is good to us, and I take this opportunity to thank the ever generous Christmas Committee, the ladies of the Eastern Star, the magazine donors and each and everyone who has so kindly eontributed to the pleasure of the children and the I-Iome in general. Of the eleven Ho~e boys ,vho \vent to ,val', all have returned but three. One boy remained in France, one is in a New York hospital badly wounded, but on the road to recovery of health once more, and one made the supreme sacrifice in the battle of the Argonne Forest. 'Vile had the pleasure of entertaining five of our returned heroes the latter part of June. Vole have had our share of troubles this year as "veIl as others. In October and November VV â&#x201A;Ź had sixty-five influenza and six pneumonia cases, but I am happy to state they all recovered with no lingering trails of telnporary or permanent trouble. Dr. A. C. Robinson, our HOlne Physician, and lVIedical Staff, with the assistance of our faithful nurses, "vatched and ",~aited on the little patients so heroically they "vere soon in their usual good health. A number of our children have had the pleasure of spending a few weeks or months in the country. and are now in school, minds a.nd bodies refreshed for a good winter's work. During the year ,ve have been favored 'with several nice little visits from the Grand l\fatron of the Order of the Eastern Star, Sister Mary Wiedemann, and feel that she is very near and dear to us. It was chiefly through her efforts that each little girl in the Home had a beautiful ne,v white dress for Easter, and each boy had a ne"v cap and tie. We were happy indeed to have Sister \iViedemann and our beloved Sister Ethel C. Stansbury, the Secretary and Treasurer of the Advisory Board, Âˇwith us on Easter Day. T

Words fail to express my appreciation to the ladies of the city and county Chapters of the Eastern Star for their assistance' in making these fifty-five ,,,hite dresses. Had they not come forYlard and helped as they did in our se"wing room, I fear there "would have been some disappointed little girls, for our seamstress left us at this most inopportune time. To the Board of Directors ,vho have given me their usual support and loyalty, I wish to express my deepest gratitude and appreciation. Fraternally, MABEL E. ENGEL.

LETTER 'TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FROM THE MATRON OF THE OLD PEOPLE. As Matron of the Old People, I wish to give you a few facts concerning our Home family, also the pleasures they have received from different sources the past year through the Brotherhood and the Eastern Star of Missouri. At this time we are numbering one hundred and eighty-one. Good health prevails, considering age, and the very 'warm sunlmer just passed through. Since our last report thirteen brethren and six sisters have passed to the Great Beyond. It is remarkable hovv ready most of them seem to go, and quietly fall asleep to a'wake on the other side. We have had a very pleasant year, very little friction, all the necessities and cOlnforts possible, even though the high. cost of living. Our President has seen at all times that all were well provided for. The Past Matrons and Patrons" Club, Christmas Committee, and many others never forgetting the luxuries. The annual picnic given by Ferguson Lodge and Hope Chapter continues to grow each year, this year being the largest attendance we have had, one hundred and five old people enjoying their hospi路 tality and pronounced it the best ever. After partaking of a sumptuous dinner and a bountiful lunch, "ve departed to wait another year. The ne"v 57th Matrons and Patrons Club of St. Louis County have been very solicitous in doing for the Home family, which is appreciated very much. The Advisory Board of the Eastern Star have added new rugs

and. rocking chairs ,vhere needed and are ready at all tirnes to add to the cOlllforts of the old people, even to furnishing each lady with a beautiful new waist and the men ne,v ties, enabling all to have something ne\v for "Easter", bringing thenl good "luck" for the year. It is at this time the old people wish to express their gratitude to the l\iasons and the Order of the Eastern Star of Missouri for all that is being done for them. I wish most heartily to express my appreciation to the faithful Board of Directors, also our faulily physician, for the consideration they have sho,vn me at all tinles in trying to perform 111y duty in an acceptable manner to the Home. Fraternally, NON..'\. E. COLLINS, Matron of the Old People.
