REPORT ON CORRESPONDENCE. 7:0 the Most vVorshipful Grand Lodge A. F.

f'J'

A. M. of the State

of Missouri:

In the preparation of my Annual Report I have had valuable assistance from Right Worshipful and Reverend Arthur Mather, D. D., who is never so happy as when going to, and even beyond, the l€ngth of his cable-tow in serving a brother. To him, as also to others, who, by suggestion and otherwise, have aided the work, I tepder sincere thanks. The various Annuals which have come to my desk, evidence something of a greater activity in the Masonic world and disclose an increasingly intelligent view of the principles of our great Order. Among the various matters which have excited discussion and indicated essential differences of opinio~, I note THE MASONIC SERVICE ASSOCIATION Which in its initiation was greeted with very' general approval, although some of the strongest Grand Lodges, even then, were' opposed to the idea and declined to co-operate. Ancl the development and enlargement of the idea has awakened greater distrust in some quarters with reference to the propriety and efficiency of the Institution. Some of the Grand Lodges who at first endorsed the Association have withdrawn from membership and others have so modified connection therewith as practically -to nullify the relation. We have. not sufficiently.investigated the matter as to express an opinion thereon, but at least it is evident that the question is far from being settled and the future of the Associ~tion is "upon the knees of· the Gods." We trust that in the final adjustment there will be no evidence of distrust or indisposition lor fraternal co-operation. Among the various Grand Lodges, THE WASHINGTON MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION is in a much more satisfactory condition in the development of its plan and the carrying forward of its great design. Almost with: out exception it meets with the general approbation of all and it is probable that very soon the foundation will be laid, and a splendid building erected in commemoration of the high character of Amer!~a's Noble Son and the veneration in which he is held. It will be a last· ing monument to him and will he a Mecca toward which the pilgrim of our Order will journey from time to time, to contemplate the heroism of the past and renew his vows of allegianCe to the Order by whose liberality and patriotism it was builded.

THE GRO'VTH OF OUR ORDER. We have observed with satisfaction in our review of the several Proceedings, that there is manifested an increasing desire for the dissemination of Masonic light and information among our less informed brethren and, in connection with this, an enlarged idea of the principles of Free Masonry is being revealed. To our mind this is more satisfactory than the report which comes to us of the great, a.nd I may add, alarming, increase in our membership. I say "alarming" with all seriousness, for in conversation with prominent brethren of various juridictions, I have found something of the same distrust and anxiety on this subject which I have felt for some years. A very rapid growth in any institution is not always healthful. And it is doubtless true that we are taking..in much crude material which can never be builded into our great TeulJple. Several Grand Masters express themselves strongly upon this subject, as have many others, and we doubt not that this is generally a matter of concern with the thoughtful. The Great War initiated this movement toward Free Masonry and its aftermath exhibits its continuance. The disposition to make a "Record" in many lodges is, we thinl~, most unfortunate路--and that some Grand Masters have largely ignored the Ancient Landmar](s with reference to physical qualifications, and furthermore, the multiplication of Masonic Homes (offering so desirable a refuge for age and indigence), have all contributed to increase the num.ber of those who seek admission to our Order. It is also a matter of sincere regret to observe personally and hy information the fact that many who enter our lodge rooms do

so with their eyes fixed upon something that ~hey consider higher and better than the Blue Lodge. We are loyal to the Chapter, the Council, the Temple, the Scottish Rite, and to the Shrine (with some reservations), and we are altogether unwilling that the . Lodge should be considered and used as a mere antkoom or place of preparation for something that is deemed higher Qt' more desirable, if not diviner, in character. There should be and there must be an increased appreciation of Ancient Craft Masonry as revealed in its three Degrees, or the result will be unfortunat~ for our Order. But we allow ourself no gloomy 'lPprehension with regard to the .. future of Free Masonry. It has now attained a prestige and an influence which prophesies a time when it will be universally recognized as the greatest institution known to man, save only the Church of the Living God. C. C.

The Proceedings of the Grand Lodge of Alabama for 1921, con路 tained in a volume of nearly five hundred pages, are introduced by the report of a Special COl~llnunication, held on Werlnesday, October 26, 1921, at Birmingham, for the purpose of laying the cornerstone of the New Masonic Temple in that city. This occasion was made more conspicuous in that the President of the United States, Brother ViTarren G. Harding, was present and delivered the address of the occasion. Senator, Brother Oscar \V. Underwood was also present and spoli:e, as did the Governor of Alabama, Brother Thomas E. Kilby, he introducing the President, and doing the honors due to him. The event was one long to be remembered by those who participated in it, and will.go down the avenue of time as one of the "great days" of Alabama Masonry. ONE HUNDRED AND FIRST ANNUAL COMMUNICATION. The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and AcMasons of Alabama commenced its One Hundred and First Annual Communication in the Masonic Temple in the City of Montgomery, on the morning of Wednesday, the 7th day of December, 1921, at nine o'clock. The Grand Lodge was.. opened ill ample form by the Grand Mast.er, prayer being offered by the Rt. \Vor. Grand Chaplain.

GRAND MASTER'S ADDRESS. The Grand Master's address, which occupies twenty pages of the Proceedings, opens with a cordial welcbme to the first session of the Grand Lodge at the beginning of its second century. He makes a strong appeal for public education, and points out conditions as they now stand. He also intimates that there is a carelessness apparent concerning the Constitution, and reports the arrest of two charters on that acceunt.

DECISION. The Grand Master says: "I have not been called upon to nial{e any decisions during the year." Wonderful!

DISPENSATIONS. The Grand Master granted six dispensations for tho formation of new lodges. MAIMED CANDIDATES. Under this head the Grand Master says: During the year a number of requests were made to approve maimed candidates for degrees. After the Lodges had assured me in each case that they had voted unanimously to receive the petitions subject to my approval, and that the said applicants would never become a charge upon the Lodge, after careful investigation of each case, I gave my consen t for same, where they were not in my opinion disqualified.

PAST GRAND MASTER R. MeW. CUNNINGHAM. The Grand Master makes special reference to the loss sustained by the Grand' Lodge in the death ,of Past Grand Master Cunningham, and devoted three pages of his address in the enumeration of his, "arl-1iable qualities and many virtues." Truly, a "prince and a great man has fallen" in Alabama's Israel. MASONIC

HO~E.

this, the Grand Master speaks as follows:

The bright jewel in the crown of Freemasonry of Alabama is the Alabama Masonic Home. No words of mine can express the value of this Home; I therefore wish to call your esp'ecial attention to the report of the Board of Trustees" and of the Superintendent, each of which will give you the details of its operation during the past year. May your efforts for this noble cause, great as' they have been, be redoubled with the coming year, because helpless hands are knocking at the door for admission and weary feet are treading the paths that will jnevilably lead to its sheltering portals. And we must continue to pl'ovide not only for those who now need our care, but those who from day to day are added to the list of tholiOe who must seek our aid.

RESIGNATION OF GRAND CHAPLAIN TENDERED. R. W. Brother William C. Bledsoe, who had served as Grand Chaplain of the Grand Lqdge for forty-five years, announced that it was with very deep regret that he was forced to tender his resignation on account of expecting to remove to the State of Texas.

The Grand Lodge refuse~ to accept the resignation, and the newly路 elected Grand Master reappointed him as Grand Chaplain, after the Grand Lodge had passed a very beautiful resolution concerning him. CELEBRATION OF THE ONE HUNDREDTH ANNIVERSARY. The celebration of the One Hun.dredth Anniversary of the Grand Lodge of Alabama was held on Tuesday night, December 6, 1921. A large attendance of brethren, 'and many ladies were present. A splendid address entitled "Masonry in Alabama One Hun~dred Years Ago" was delivered by R. W. Brother Oliver Day Street, and another by R. W. Brother George Flemming Moore. The pleasure of the occasion was further enhanced by delightful music rendered by the Masonic Home Band, and by songs and selections by the girls of the Masonic Home. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE. This report, covering 200 pages, in which 73 volumes of Proceedings are reviewed, is the sixth compiled by our good brother, Oliver D. Street. It is well arranged, and' very instructive, and is the equal of any that have gone before. Missouri receives four pages, and our Kansas City session of 1920 is carefully reviewed. Quotations on the Masonic Service Association, by M. W. Bro. J. C. Garrell, and on Foreign Relations by M. W. Brother Wm. F. Kuhn are made, and the report on Correspondence is described as "an excellent piece of work." For which, thanks! \

The Proceedings of the Grand Lodge of Alberta for the year 1921, contained in a compact volume of 200 pages, are introduced with a splendid cut of the Grand Master, M. W. Br.other J. H. W. S. Kemmis, clothed in the regalia appropriate to his exalted station. A report of a Special Communication of the Grand Lodge, held at the town of Redcliff, on Wednesday, Sept. 29, 1920, for the purpose of laying the corner-stone of .Gordon Memorial Church, precedes the minutes of the Annual Communication. THE SIXTEENTH ANNUAL COMMUNICATION of the M. 'V. Grand Lodge of Alberta, Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons, was opened in Brewster's Hall, in the town of Banff, Province of Alberta, on Wednesday, June 8th, 1921, at the hour of 10 o'clock, A. M. A constitutional number of Lodges being represented, the Grand Lodge was opened in Ample Form, and with prayer. The Grand Master granted permissioh for the admission 'Of all Master Masons in good standing, as visitors. ANNUAL ADDRESS OF THE GRAND MASTER. This is one of the most interesting, nay, fascinating, addresses tltat we have ever been permitted to read. Although it 路occupies but 15 pages of the printed Proceedings, it abounds in running detail of such a character as to bring before the reader the very lifelike scenes which it portrays. From the Introduction we quote: A general feeling of insecurity in employment, in investment, and in nOl'mal occupations has made men think. They look for a place of refuge, of safety for themselves and their dependents, consequently we have abnormal lists of waiting candidates for Masonry. There is no question in my mind that this is one of the principal reasons for the knocking at our doors. The reputat ion of the Craft is such, that the outsider feels if he can only get inside he will share in the protection the Craft offers to its dependents, and he will also

share in the benefits to himself. Men today are seeking sanctuary from the uncertainties of life and great as has been the disappointment and disillusionment of the world at the conclusion of the war, .in the failure to reach new altitudes, greater still will be the disappointment of those should their high hopes of the benefits and advantages of the Order be shattered by apathy and want of ideal in the Lod~es.

The Grand Master's reference to the Fraternal Dead is tender and beautiful. Five skilled Craftsmen, all of whom were faithful in the pioneer days, are especially mentioned. - CONSTITUTING LODGES. Part of the Grand Master's description of his exper.iences along this line will give some idea of the vast territory which a Grand Officer ha~ to cover in the North-western part of the Great Dominion to the North. Here is what 'he says: The first duty devolving upon me as Grand Master was to constitute the four Lodges which received their warrants. Accordingly. M. W. Bro. S. Y. Taylor having made the necessary arrangements, we left for Edmon ton on the thirtieth of June, arriving there on the morning of July 1st. We were met by R. W. Bro. Ennis, D. D. G. M., who joined us for the trip. We immediately left on ah early train for Jarrow, which place we found was having a celebration when we arrived; the whole countryside having come in for the day. We were warmly welcomed by W. Bl'O. Lindholm who with his officers took charge of us and escorted us to the little church building where a splendid luncheon was served by the ladies of Jarrow. The Lodge was duly constituted and the officers were installed by M. W. Bro. S. Y. Taylor, and after a very pleasant visit, the Grand Secretary and myself left by car for Minburn thirty miles north, where R. W. Bro. Moss, D. D. D. M. of District No. 10 with W. Bro. McGregor and R. W. Bro. J. S. Reid, P. D. D. G. M., welcomed us. A very fair attendance of members and visitors assembled to aid in the ceremonies of Constitution and Installation, after Which, although the hour was late, W. Bro. McGregor insisted on entertaining us at his home until train tim,e at three o'clock in the morning, when we left for Edmonton, arriving there in time to make connection with the train for the South, which landed us in ned Deer about 4 :30 p. m., where a royal welcome was extended to us by M. W. Bro. Botterill, R. W. Bro. Fowler, and a number of the brethren. With that wonderful enthusiasm that our worthy P. G. M. can inject into everything he does, he arranged for cars to take us to Mirror, only fifty miles distant. So, accompanied by a number of the Red Deer brethren, we set out again, W. Bro. Lord driving us in one car and M. W. Bro. Botterill taking another carload. We had dinner at Lacombe, exchanging a few pleasant words with R. W. Bro. Carruthers and other members of the Craft while there. W'e then started

for Mirror, enjoying a splendid drive through a lovely country, and, arriving at Mirror perhaps a little late, we had to hasten somewhat in the ceremony of Constitution, but with the able assistance of M. W. Bro. Botterill, R. \-V. Bro. Fowler and several other brethren. the Lodge was duly Constft'lited, and the officers were afterward installed by M. W. Bro. Taylor. After a brief time at the banquet table, we had to leave as the weather had changed and rain commenceu, giving us a long hard drive back to Red Deer, where we arrived in time for breal<fast, and then turn'cd -into the first real bed we had seen since leaving Calgary, with the feeling that we had attended a continuous performance ovcr a somewhat extended area:

LODGES OF INSTRUCTION.

The Grand Master gives an illuminating description of the various Lodges of Instruction that he attended, and we excerpt a paragraph for the benefit of our readers in Missouri, )vhich will show what others of our brethren have to do in the carrying out of their duties. The next morning, "Henry" being refreshed with much oil and gas, the party again set out upon its tra;els. The main obstacle to negotiate, said Bro. Grimshaw, was the Saddle Mountain Range. The run was as interesting as that of the previous day, but, once in the Saddle Mountain, settlement ceased for many miles. '1'raveling through more or less timbered country, we caught only occasional glimpses of a settler's clearing here and there. Sometimes:we crossed a railway track unexpectedly. It always seemed to immediately curve around a hill and disappear as if it felt it had no right there. There had been rain, and once "Henry" balked, with a front wheel in one hole and a hind wheel in another. Getting out to assist him in his frantic efforts, I ''''as covered by "Henry" with more mud in one minute than any party politician could have done in a year. After a long run we passed through Sexsmith, whose inhabitants apparently had had a clean up and paint day and then had all gone away to let it dry. We had to pass on to Clairmont to get something to eat and found all Sexsmith there at a fair. While we rested, I secured the services of a friend and removed some of the Saddle Mountains which still clung to my garments. It was an even more wonderful bit of country, with its lakes and trees, that we passed through in a comparatively short run to Grand Prairie where we arrived in the evening. Lake Saskatoon and Grande Prairie are the two Lodges in this part of the District, and they had a large attendance to meet us the next day. The Lodge room was small and the day was extremely hot. Owing' to the arrangements, w~ had to have an afternoon session in the Lodge Room where Grande Prairie Lodge conferred the '1'hird Degree on a candidate who had come all the way from the Smokey River, after which M. W. Bro. Taylor .gave a useful address on the esoteric work. I was impressed with the enthusiasm and the interest the membership show in their Lodges here, and at Lake Saskatoon some miles away.

Appendix.

The Lodge has supplied a need that it would be hard to fill in any other way. Far removed from the rest of the Province, it provides a Lreak in their lives and helps to keep up the morale and spirit of the members. Our meeting in the evening was a very successful one. It was an ag-reeable surprise to find such a large number of members in this new country and to hear so many appropriate addresses. The proceedings lasted to a ~ate hour and were thoroughly enjoyed by all. The next day the brethren had arranged for Divine Service being held at Bear Lake, and a large number of people attended besides the members and their wives. The Rev. Bro. Pearson presided. I had the pleasure of meeting one of myoId friends here, formerly a member of my mother Lodg'e Spitzie, W. Bro. 'William Grant, W. M. of Lake Saskatoon Lodge, at whose home I spent a delightful time. The kindness and hospitality we met with on this trip was beyond expression. I felt keen reg-ret at saying good~ bye. What a difference a .few years make! Under difficulties and with much discomfort, M. W. Bro. Taylor in his year of office as Grand Master made this trip alone. He had to malie all his own arrangements, find m.eans路 of transport by boat, wagon or speeder, and put up with a great deal of inconvenience as well as hardship to cover the same ground. He pioneered; I travelled in comparative luxury.

Referring to GENERAL DISPENSATIONS

the Grand Master has the following to say: The matter of granting- dispensations to candidates with physical defects has given me' much concern throughout the year. You will note that a number have been granted, but a large number have been refused, and almost as many more have been prevented fr'om reaching the point of application after discussion with me. If this latter course had been followed in every case it would have spared the feelings of the applicants, many of whom, I have reason to know, were led to believe their request would be favorably considered. In my opinion the judgment of the Grand Master should be obtained before the petition of the candidate is received and presented to -the Lodge. In an cases where dispensations of this nature were requested, I insisted upon a full and complete knowledge of the physical condition of the candidate and his ability to maintain himself an~ his dependents.

IN CONCLUSION.

the 'Grand Master sums up as follows: It is my reg-ret that I cannot do justice to the spirit of goodwill that pervades the Lodges, the anxiety of the brethren to bring the Institution to the highest level of perfection, not merely in work but in Masonic ideals. The general desire forknowledg-e and the sincere wish to make our Order a genuine force for the improvement of society, made me feel as Grand Master that' this juris-

diction is one to be proud of, and that I have given but little in exchange for the wealth' of affectionate service, assistance and hospitality which have invariahly been rendered to me and the other Grand Lodge officers in every place I have visited.

REPORTS OF 路DISTRICT DEPUTY GRAND MASTERS, These are printed in full in the Proceedings and give much information as to the standing of the Craft throughout the Grand Jurisdiction of Alberta, which is one of 'magnificent distanc~s'. FINANCES. The finances seem to be in good shape. The income from per capita reached a total of $17,268.00, and the income of the Benevolent Fund amounted to $11,631.00. FOREIGN CORRESPONDEN<,:;E. The Report of the Committee is by P. G. M. S. Y. Taylor, and covers sixty pages, containing reviews of the proceedings of thirtytwo Grand Lodges, Missouri, for some reason,being absent. Perhaps they did not receive our Proceedings in time for inclusion in the report. The report is well written, and gives a faithful review of the Grand Lodges enumerated.

ROLL OF DECEASED PAST GRAND MASTERS. The roll was called and the fU;leral honors were given in their memory. A proper tribute. GRAND MAS.TER'S ADDRESS. This is a brief but interesting survey 路of the principal acts ot the Grand Master during his term of office. His visitations are many, and he has enjoyed the co-operation of other Grand Officers. He rendered six decisions, all of a local character; and granted a number of dispensations, seven of thes'e being for the formation of new lodges. GRAND MASTER HIS OWN STENOGRAPHER. The Grand Master says: On account of living five and one-half miles from the nearest stenographer, your Grand Master did not employ one, as he could not afford to make the trips back and forth; neither could he employ one to stay at his home, with the amount set apart by the Grand Lodge for this purpose. He, therefore, has acted as his own stenographer, with his own pen and ink.

DE MOLAY COMMENDED. Resolved, That this Grand Lodge recommend to the subordinate Lodges of this GI'and Jurisdiction that the order known as the . "Order of DeMolay for Boys" is an organization worthy of their encuragement, and moral and financial support. It is further recommended that a chapter of De~lolay be organized in each community where po!mlation will justify it, and that the Lodge halls 01' meeting places of Lodges, whenever practical and agreeable to the Lodge, shall be tendered as a meeting place for this organization.

MASONIC SERVICE ASSOCIATION. On motion of Brother Jacob Trieber, Past Grand Master, it was declared to be the sense of the Grand Louge that it is not advisable that the Grand Lodge become a member of the Masonic Service Association, and that she therefore decline to join the said Association,

to Masonry for the sustaining loyalty of the masses in every crisis to date. 'Without question our debt to Masonry in this country is very great. There is such a stl'ange tendency among a great clement of our people to be iconoclastic, to question thp. fundamental virtues of our great government, and it constitutes <t pronounced~ Held of possible service for those of us who adhere to the vital principles of Masonry.

ARMAMENT CONFERENCE COMMENDED. On motion of Past Grand Master Trieber the Conference on DIsarmament at Washington was cordially commended. ALTOGE1.'HER WORTHY. 1"1. \V. Brother Jacob Trieber, Past Grand Master, called the attention of the Grand Lodge to the circumstances that H. "W-, Bl'other Fay Hempstead, Grand Secretary of this Grand Lodge, had recently been elevated to the high position of Genp.ral Grand Master of路 the General Grand Council of Royal and Select Masters of the United States and suggested that recognition of the fact be made and the appreciation of this Grand Lodge be manifested by greeting Brother Hempstead as such, and expressing their thanks to thf> General Grand Council for the honor thus bestowed upon the Masonry or Arl{ansas.

FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE. There is no regular report on Correspondence, but we not~ that the Committee brought in a partial report, relating entirely to the recognition of foreign Grand Lodges. It follows herewith:

'''e,

your committee on foreign correspondence, wish to submit the (ollowing report: That \\le grant recognition of. the Grand Lodge del Ecuador. We also recommend recognition of Grand Logia De Venezuela. We also recommend recognition of the United Grand Lodge of A. F. & A. M. of Queensland. The Grand Lodge Nacional de Colombia had a.sked for recognition as per papers attached in this file, but the committee does not feel that we have enough information at hand to justify us in granting their request and we would recommend that furthe;' investigation be made before this Grand Lodge grants them recognition. In connection with the Masonic situation in the Republic of MexIco, we have had some cOITespondence dur.ing the year and recommend that we continue our affiliation 'with the York Grand Lodge or路 l\Iexico F. & A. M., and that. recognition 'be not extended to any other Masonic body in that Republic.

PaUl, and after being fittingly received by the Grand Master, M. 'V. Bro. M. L. Grimmett, they were heartily welcomed by the brethren assembled. RECEPTION OF OLD MEMBERS. At this point the Grand Master requested M. W. Bro. Angus 'McKeown "to retire and escort into Grand Lodge any old members of the craft who might be in waiting." M. W. Bro. McKeown, obeying the commands of the Grand Master, presently returned to the Grand Lodge accompanied by a number of veteran brethren who' had been members of British Columbia Lodges at the time of the organization of the Grand Lodge, some of whom had been present at the organization. These were duly presented and received with applause, and several addressed the Grand Lodge in suitable terms befitting the present occasion. The address of the occasion was delivered by M. W. Brother Dr. A. S. Gorrell, Past Grand Master of Saskatchewan, who spoke eloquently on the "Trend of Modern Masonry," at the concluslon of which he was greeted with continued applause. After this the Grand Master announced that the Grand Lodge would proceed to attend DIVINE SERVICE at St. John's Church to give thanks for .having t.hus happily reached the fiftieth anniversary of its organization. The Rector, V. "V. Brother F. A. P. Chadwick, Gr.and Chaplain, assisted by His Lordship the Bishop of New Westminster, and Brother the Rev. J.

THE BANQUET .. On the evening of the same day the members of the Grand Lodge and visiting brethren were entertained to a magnificent hanquet in the Drill Hall, by the bret!iren of District No.路 1.' Rt. Wor. Brother \Vallace S. Terry, Deputy Grand Master, presided, toasts being proposed to King George V, and the President of the United States; and also to the Grand Lodge of British Columbia. The occasion was one that will not soon be forgotten hy those who participated in it. THE FIFTIETH ANNUAL COMMUNICATION of the Most WOl:'shipful Grand Lodge of Ancient, l<'ree and Accepted Masons of British Columbia was opened in ample form in the Masonic Temple in the city of Victoria, on Thursday, the 23rd day of June, 1921, at 10 o'clock a. m. REGRETS. The Grand ~asters of .Canada,Connecticut, Louisiana, Massachusetts. New Jersey, New York, Oregon, and Quebec, sent letters cf regret, as also did the Grand Master of the Odd Fellows: GRAND MASTER'S ADDRESS. The address of the Grand Master is a concise business document, setting forth the facts of his administration in detail, and is worthy of imitation on that account. He renders a num~er of RULINGS of local interest, and reports having granted dispensations for'~ the formation of seven new lodges. NOTES ON OFFICIAL VISITS. Ulldf).r this caption the Grand Master says: There are many comments on my offiCial visits which I should like to make, but neither time nor space will permit. However, I wish to make a few observations which I am sure will interest you. Cariboo Lodge No. 4 first worked under a \Varrant from the Grand Lodge of Scotland, issued in 1867. In this year, a Masonic

temple was built which, however, was destroyed in 1868. A new building was erected in the latter ~"ear which still stands and is, I believe, the oldest Masonic Hall or Temple in this Jurisdiction. A very unique feature in connection with this Hall is what a visitor is informed is the Silent Tyler. As you ascend the stair to the Lodge room on the second floor your g·uide will point out that about half-way up the stairway is hinged; he will further tell you that by means of a mechanical contrivance this part of the stairway was raised and remained suspended in mid-ai·r while the Brethren were at labour. For many years the Silent Tyler has been silent indeed, as this means of tyling the Lodge has not been used for a long time. The Brethren are naturally proud, of this unique ·feature in connection with their Lodge building, as it is doubtful if any other Masonic building in this or any other Jurisdiction can boast of a Silent Tyler. The furniture of this Lodge room is very massive and handsome, having been hand-carved b~; some of the early members of the Lodge. As an illustration of what our Scottish Brethren at that time knew of the geography of British Columbia, I ' .... ould mention that Cariboo Lodge is described by them as being· situate at Barkerville, Vancouve·r Island. On my way to the Lodges in District No.3, I was met· by a number of the "Brethren of Star of the West Lodge at Nakusp, and,. spent a f.ew minutes very pleasantly with them. I was delighted to do this as I was unable to officially visit the Lodge. Quite a nuln.ber of the members of this Lodge visited Slocan Lodge at New Denver on the night of my visit there. I was honored in a very marked manner in. Slocan Lodge by the presence at the meeting of Brother Sandy McKay, the Tyler of the Lodge. This Brother, at the time of my visit in October last, was eighty-eight years of age, weighed two hundred and eighty-five pounds, and in order to be present at the meeting walked over nine miles, a part of the distance on the railway ties. I doubt very much whether any Grand Master can relate such an incident of loyalty and devotion as was manifested by this aged Brother. PSYCHOLOGY OF CLOTHES When, on one of my visits to a somewhat small Lodge, I entered the Lodge-room, I was greatly surprised to see that every officer, both elected and appointed, ".. . as in evening dress. On my inquiring l' found that it was a tradition of' the Lodge that all officers should dress in such manner. Knowing that a considerable number of members of the Lodge were working men, and that the future members of the Lodge would be largely drawn from this source, I asl{ed if such a condition would not have a tendellcy to deter very desirable applicants from applying for admission to the Lodge, but I was assured that the result was entirely contrary. I was equally surprised when some days later vis(ting a large and influcntial Lodge I found that the Master was the only one in evening !lress. Knowing that such clothes would form an indispensable part of the wardrobe of many of the mem·bers of this Lodge, I was about to cnquire of the Master why he was the

1922.]

Appendix.

only one so dressed, when he informed me that many of the other members purposely refrained from attending- the meetings in evening clothes, thinking that did they do so it might have the effect of keeping- other members of the Lodg-e who did not possess such from attending the Lodge m,eetings. I ,,"auld not for a moment lay it down as a hard and fast rule that even the officers should be obliged to dress in evening clothes, bu t I am afraid that many of our Brethren are much too lax in this respect. I have been pained on som.e of my visits to notice that some of the Brethren had not the proper appreciation of the respect that was due from them to their Lodge, judging by their clothing. A Freemason should have the same respect for his Lodge as the devout churchman has for his church, and in hi!; dl'ess should contribute as mucl1 as he can, to the dignity and grace of the Lodge meetings.

REPORT ON CORRESPONDENCE. This occupies some two hundred pages and is from the kindly pen of our good brother, DeWolf,Smith. He carefully reviews the' proceedings of the Grand Lodges with which British Columbia is in amity, and accords a liberal portion of space to Missouri. He has a kind word for the Correspondent, for which-thanks!

THE SEVENTY-SECOND ANNUAL COMMUNICATION. The Grand Lodge convened in the City of San Francisco, Tuesday, October 11, 1921, at 10 o'clock A. M.

24 A HANDSOME GIFT, The generosity of California Masons was evidenced by the presentation to the Grand Lodge of a complete and beautiful set or jewels and furniture, the gift of Grand Tiler, Brother Frank G. Watson. The presentation was made by Past Master Hugh McKevitt" and no doubt his speech was a fine specimen of oraton' -to match the gift, which numhered the following articles: Bible, square and compass and cage, emblem overlaid 'with gold, comport and case, ceremonial vessels and case. three silver water pitchers with silver tra~'s and silver glass holders and glasses, three golden candlesticks and case, one ebony baton with mahogany stand, Bible board, board fOI' Principal Architect, two gold "'Varden's columns, eeremonial implements and c~se. _Tiler's sword. Grand Sword B~arer's sword, rods for Deacons and Stewards, six apron boxes, a particularly fine banner on which was worked the sp.al of Grand Lodge, and a large silk American flag. Brother 'Vatson was called in and blushingly accepted the enthusiastic thanks of his brethren for his timely and thoughtful gift. .

After this pleasing incident, the Grand Lodge W::l.S opened in Ample Form, with reverent prayer by V. W. Edgar F. Gee, Grand Chaplain, and the Grand Master delh:ered his Annual Address, This was a comprehensive paper of 58 pages, well prepared, and covering the work of the .year in detail. Although the Grand Mastel' "fears that his poor judgment has mistaken the will. to do, for wisdom in accomplishment", his review of the work shows efficiency and zeal. NECROLOGY, The Grand Master speaks with loving tenderness of the death In that Jurisdiction of Grand Bible Bearer, John Plaskett, .Jarman, May 8, 1921. Inspector Granville D. 'Warren, September 16, 1921, and Brother E. E. Knepper, November 22, 1920-, and further suggestH that Grand Lodge set aside one morning during the .session for a mem.orial service to these departed Brethren. THE RAISING OF' LUTHER BURBANK. The Grand Master speaks of the great pleasure' he felt in attendence up'on a Lodge meeting for the raising of this worldknown scientist and benefactor of manlrfnd; he says of it:~

Because the roster of Masonry is replete with the names or famous men, it might be assumed, logically, that to add another would occasion but little comment. Familiarity often engenders indifference. But try as we will to hold steadfast to the principle of democracy'

and to the landmark that in Masonry, all men are upon a level plane, we cannot avoid being a bit .jubilant and proud when a man, who, by his virtues and ability, has won for himself universal respect. admiration and international fame, evidences his faith in us by desiring' affiliation. On Saturday evening, August 13, a great body of Masons (many coming' from distant places) assembled at Santa Rosa, there to witness or participate in the raising of Luther Burbank. Seer and wizard, with a life of achievement, foremost of his craft in all the world, he that night gave us a lesson in those qualities of modesty and humility which distinguish the truly great. and which should be of such splendid value to all who profit thereby. The Grand Master was honored with an invitation which he was more than pleased to accept.

MASONIC SERVICE ASSOCIATION.

The Grand Master presented a detailed report of his attendan.ce upon the meeti~g of this Association held at St. Louis, Nov., 1920, and of the restllts of his study and observation of th8 subject, con路 eluding with the recommendation that the Grand Lodge of California do not become a member. The Committee on General Purposes and Policy approved this recommendation, and their report was adopted: MASONIC CLUB.

Calling attention to the fact that more than 500 students of the University of California were Masons, that many belonged to the O. E. S., and that hundreds were the sons and daughters of Masons, the Grand Master stated that these students of the University has "thrown themselves into the problem of a Masonic Club", and that, after a thorough study of conditions. he was well convinced that it was the duty of California Masons, as a body, to co-operate in this work, throwing around it all the ne~essary and proper safeguards. The committee approving this ~uggestion, it was adopted by the Grand Lodge, and the sum of $2,000.00 was appropriated for the purpose of "aiding the proposed Masonic Club at Berl{eley", such sum being available subject to certain provision's,-etc., and the authority was given for a state-wide appeal among Masons for the necessary funds to erect and equip a suitablo building. BOARDS OF RELIEF AND EMPLOYMENT BFREAUS.

The Grand Master is enthusiastic in his approval of these bodies, and their work for the betterment of present conditions, especially in the large cities.

DECISIONS. Of these there were only six,-all of which were approved. PUBLIC SCHOOL 'VEEK. The excel.lence of the California Schools is well known, and it is an enlightening commentary upon that fact that the Grand Master, following the example of his predecessor, issued a proclamation designating one week in the year as "Public School W'eek", which proclamation requests and directs "all subordinate Lodges in this Grand Jurisdiction to forego their customary work, .so far as that may be lawful,' and with heart and tongue join in promoting the welfare of our Public Schools." J In conclusion, the Grand Master uses the quotation below, which we are sure our readers will enjoy:"The riddle of the world is understood Only by him who feels that God is Good. As only he can feel who makes his lOve The ladder of his faith, and climbs above On the rounds of his best instincts." MASONIC HOMES. California is decidedly among the leading Jurisdictions in her interest in this form of benevolence and in her most commendable generosity with regard to her two Masonic Homes. The instituUon at Covina houses and cares for 38 boys and 41 girls, and an examination of these children shows them above the average physically, and normal, or supernormal in intelligence,-with but few exceptions. The home at Decoto has 87 men and 59 women inmates, and the general health is reported as good. The balance sheet shows the total net worth or these proverties to be $685,466.91, the cost of maintaining them for the year 1920-21 to be $107,989.12, and the cost of maintenance' per resident per month to be $46.08. FOREIGN GRAND LODGES. California directs the Grand Secretary to "acknowledge a com'munication from the Grand Lodge of Chili with expressions of congratulation and fraternal greeting."

Our good Brother Jesse 'V. \Vhited writes an interesting and strong Report, saying much that is of value about many things, and indicating a careful study of the general situation. No doubt some will criticize and many will commend, but no one will intimate that there is any lack of grey matter under the hat which he wears. He reviews Missouri in a kindly spirit, finding nothing to which he objects. Peace to you, my good Brother, and success in aU things.

THE GRANDlVI,ASTER'S ADDRESS. This covers about twenty pages of the Proceedings, and is tilled with characteristic patriotism, and loyalty. Coming to the more practical things the Grand Master has the following to say: I said in my last Address that the year then just pa~t was marked for its prosperity. Thi~ IJa~t yea)' surpasses it. Our capital then was $326,000.00, income $110,500.00. Now our ca\lital is $369,000.00, and income, $133,500.00. Then we expended $51,000.00 on benevolence, as against $67,000.00 last year. Yet, in my opinion, we are not doing our duty to the full. The rules and regulations which govern those who administer benevolence are not in all respects based on the true Masonic spirit. Why should relief. be refused to a widow and children of a Mason because he. is not in good standing'? Is it their fault? Why should a Ma~on not in g'ood standing who is unable to support himself through physical disability not receive assistance? Why shou.ld this Grand Lodge withhold relief because the Lodge to which an unfortun,ate belongs has not assisted him? The letter kilIeth, and opportunities for doing good are lost. There is too much red tape attached to the administration of our benevolence. Speaking for myself, if a member of this Grand Body tells m~ of a Mason or a Masonic family who he knows are in need, I will take his word for it. I would rattier be deceived than run the risk of withholding; relief where it is needed. And, moreover, Grand Lodge should give authority to its Grand Master to direct the Grand Treasurer to make out a chequet in emergency cases, and there are a few of them that cannot await delay. If he is not to be trusted in the expenditure of a few dollars for such relief, he is unworthy of the position he holds. There is real wisdom in the Latin saying, "He g'ives twice, who gives quickly."

FRATERNAL DEAD. Referring to these the Grand Master says: "V\'e shall miss them, but their living influence was so marked that it will long continue. Viho, indeed, can say at what point influence will die? Our lamented brothers impressed for lasting good their personality on those of their own time. Their lives and characters fori-ned guiding principles in others and lighted fires which will long outlast the headstone and the tablet." THE GROTTO. This is what the Grand Master has to say about it: An Order called "The Mystic. Order of Veiled Prophets of the Enchanted Realm" or "The G)'otto" has established itself in our jurisdiction, requiring as a prerequisite to membership in such

1922.]

organization that the applicant be a Master Mason. Master Masons are canvassed to join, particularly the younger brethren. According to the Address of the Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Colorado (see page 64 of Grand Lodge Proceedings of Colorado 1919, and the resolution referred to at page 121 of 1920) Masons are' forbidden to join the so-called organization as it has the effect of bringing reproach and shame on Masonry. I commend this ruling of our sister Colorado to the serious consideration of this Grand Lodge, and I advise the appointment of a committee to take action.

SIR JOHN ROBERTSON ROSS' LIBRARY.

The Grand Master refers to this in the following tern1.s: In my last Address I referred to the generous bequest our late M. W. Bro. John Robertson Ross made to this Grand body of his Masonic library. Through the kindness of M. W. Bro. D. J. Goggin, R. W. Bro. W. C. Wilkinson. and V. "V. Bro. Charles B. Murray, the books have been arranged on shelves in the Yonge Street Temple, Toronto, and placed in a room there awaiting further instructions. It is to be hoped that this library as has been the case with hundreds of them, will prove' helpful and instructive to many of our members. In no better way could gratitude to the donor find practical expression. The reading habit is a good one, though not as m,uch in vogue as it once was. It brings much needed' solace and repose to crowded lives. It is reported that a well-known man occupying a position of influence recently said, "I used to read a good deal, but I wanted something to occupy my mind, so I took to cards." If six thousand successful men were to say the same thing, the lasting and weighty influence for good of a well selected library would remain. I may well quote here a quaint bit of advice, ' ...路 hich can be used as a plea for making constant use of libraries. "The best motto for a long and healthy life is-verify your references." Th-e world will never forgive the German soldiers who set fire to the library of Louvain University, and destroyed irreparably the architectural beauties of Ypres.

CONDITION OF MASONRY IN THE PROVINCE.

The report of the committee concerning, the condition of .Freemasonry in the jurisdiction is an able one. The committee feels a peculiar satisfaction in being able to announce that things masonic are healthy, vigorous, and virile. The increase in membership has been large-exceeded only by the preceding year's 'growth-harmony pnw~ils, and the interest in Craft Masonry displayed throughout the Province has been characteriz;ed by such enthusiasm and earnestness as to merit the commendation of the Grand Lodge.

Missouri, from some cause or other, is not included. In his "Conclusion" Brother Brown sums up conditions as they appear to him after a perusal of the Proceedings of a majority of the Grand Lodges throughout the world, and we heartily agree with much that he says.

six years, in season and out of season. he has been a tireless servant of the Masonic brotherhood. He has vi,sited the sick, buried the dead, comforted the afflicted, and protected the helpless orphan; and, whether as an humble worker in the ranks, or as a leader, he could always be depended upon to do his duty: Possessed of a firm character and a warm and sympathetic nature, aided by his native ability and long, practical Masonic experience, and having the respect and confidence of his brethren throughout the entire jurisdiction, he is amply qualified to di~charge the duties of the high office of Grand Master of Masons in Colorado.

THE SIXTY-FIRST ANNUAL COMMUNICATION. The M. \V. Grand Lodge, Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons of Colorado, met in its Sixty-first Annual Communication in Masonic Temple, in Denver, Colorad'O, Tuesday, September 20, 1921, at ten o'clock a. m. The Grand Lodge was opened in ample form by the M. W. Grand Master, Haslett P. Burke, prayer being offered by R. W. Brother James L. Goodheart, Grand Chaplain:

RECEPTION OF "OLD GLORY." Immediately after the opening of the Grand Lodge the Junior Grand Deacon announced an alarm at the door. On ascertaining the cause he reported: â&#x20AC;˘ Most 'Worshipful Grand Master, Brothers Delbridge, Bridwell and Crawford, with "Old Glory", the flag of our country, are without, and desire admis~ion. Grand Master: You will admit them. W. Brother Delbridge: Most 'Vorshipful Grand Master, we present before. you the flag of our country. Its colors, white, blue and red, portray the same sentiments they bore at the birth of our nation, and we bear if aloft with pride, to stimulate us to greater efforts in the maintenance of theÂˇ grand purposes of our great nation. Grand Master: Brethren, we welcome this banner to this Annual Communication of our Grand Lodge; the flag, symbolizing as it does the chief duty of the American citizen. You may conduct "Old Glory" to its place in the East. Brethren, as this flag stands keeping watch and ward over this Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of Colorado, let us endeavor to see behind the beauty of its silken folds that history, that Constitution, those institutions and the lives and sacrifices of those great Americans who have made this country worth while.

ROLL OF DECEASED GRAND MAST1<JRS. This was called by the Grand Secretary, each name being responded to by the Grand Master, after which Brother Llewelyn Jones sang "There Is No Death," and the Grand Master said: "These men were our servants and Our leaders in the days that have gone by. They gave much to the Fraternity, and if, as believe, there is no death, they abide with us today. Let us live worthily of those lives and those services."

GRAND REPRESENTATIVES. The Grand Representatives of forty-eight other Grand Jurisdictions were found to be pres~nt, and these were most cordially and fittingly welcomed by the Grand Master. M. W. Brother William D. Wright, Hepresentative of the Grand Lodge of the District of Columbia, near the Grand Lodge of Co!orado, responded for his brethren in appropriate terms. THE GRAND MASTER'S ADDRESS occupies some. twenty pages of the Proceedings and is a clear cut document, abounding in interesting facts. Regarding the PUEBLO FLOOD, the Grand Master says: Within a week of the disaster I visited Pueblo personally, m,et with the Committee and inspected the devastated area. In aid of the work I authorized the payment to M. ,V. Brother George W. Roe, Past Grand Master and a member of the Committee, the sum of $5,000 from the Grand Lodge treasury. This was paid and used and Bro. Roe will make full report to you. I also received $342.00 for this work from Colorado Lodges. This I remitted to Bro. Roe. I received generous offers from other Colorado sources and from the Masonic Service Association, Temple Lodge No. 23, of Jacksonville, Florida; Progress Lodge No. 22, of Salt Lake City, and the Grand Lodges of Washington, Maryland, New York, California, and New Mexico, and so advised the Committee. I also received from No. 75 of Georgia, Numbers 256 and 272 of California, No. 209' of Ohio, No. 34 of Montana, No. 437 of Illinois, No. 101 of Florida, St. Andrews Lodge of Boston, and the Grand Lodges of Indiana, and Ohio, a total sum of $2,125.00, which, upon due consideration and after full report from Bro. Roe, I returned to the contributors with a statement of the facts and the thanks of the Fraternity.

.Regarding the MISSOURI CENTffiNNIAL,

the Grand Master says: Such is the history of the organization of this Grand Lodge 'that it can truthfully be said to be a grand-daughter of the Grand Lodge of Missouri. The latter is today celebrating her centennial anniversary, to participate in which she has extended a most cordial invitation to her descendants. Our own Annual Communication falling on the s'ame date, it was impossible for either Brother Van Fleet or myself to accept. Therefore, after due corresponde"llce with the committee in charge, I issued my commission to M. W. Brother Chase Withrow, Past Grand Master of Colorado, to attend the Missouri celebratIOn as Colorado's representative. I think no more fitting appointment could be made, Brother Withrow being, in age, service, and former residence, the most representative connecting link between the two Grand Jurisdictions. The Grand Master ha.s the following to say on

MASONIC ADVERTISING. By Section 296 of the Book of Constitutions, we have forbidden the use of Masonic emblems for adver~ising purposes, and the letter of the law is generally obeyed. There is. however, a general violation of its spirit by the indiscriminate use of the word "Masonic" in the same connection. Commercial concerns are using it, not only to attract attention to their business, but in a manner and with the purpose of conveying the impression that their enterprises are connected with, or approved by. the Fraternity. Insurance and accident companies are the most notorious violators thereof. If the use of the square and compass, which at most can but imply an association, be forbidden, then certainly the use of the term "Masonic", which asserts that' association, should be banned. This section, by' interpretation or amendment, should be made effective in all these cases, or be repealed. In this connection, leaH your attention to an instance in which a so-called "Sanitarium Association", operating in this jurisdictwn, was solicitingj funds throughout the United States. I directed the Grand Secretary to advise other Grand Jurisdictions, through their, Grand Secretaries, that this "Association" had no connection with organized Masonry in Colorado, and was operating without our approval. The correspondence is herewith submitted. IMPROPER PUBLICITY. In many quarters there is to be observed an unjustifiable appetite for Masonic Publicity. Newspaper advertisements of Masonic activities are lamentably frequent. What seems to me a particularly flagrant instance of this evil, in a locality where solicitation has been cha-rged, is called to your attention by the submission of numerous newspaper clippings. These things are to be discountenanced, and ought to be discontinued. They constitute merely an indirect method of solicitation. All their effects are evil

and all their tendencies destructive. No attem.pt should be made save "by the reg'ularty of our own behavior" to pOPularize'the Craft. We want no members who do not come of their "own free will and accord", "uninfluenced by mercenary motives or the improper solicitation of friends". The greatest danger which today threatens the Fraternity is the danger against which its sages and leaders have warned it in Colorado and elsewhere from time imm.emorial-too much popularity. Our more active Lodges should investigate petitions more carefully and select their' material more' judiciously. Their growth is too rapid to be always healthy. We should cease to worry about the enemy without. Now, as always, he is absolutely impotent to injure us. Freemasonry can only be torn down- from within.

The Grand M'aster sets forth a

STATgMENT OF PRINCiPLES,

as follows: In view of what has .been hereinbefore stated, and considering the apparent confusion in the Masonic world, the time seems ripe for the re-statement by this Grand Lodge of the following fundamen tal principles: I-the government of the Grand Lodge is neither a monarchy, an oligarcy, nor a "pure Democracy". It is a representative, constitutional republic. Every attem.pt to graft upon it any of the distinguishing characteristics of the first three forms named is forbidden by the injunction against "innovations upon the body of Masonry". . 2-Thc Grand Lodge, which is but the entire body of the Craft in the Jurisdiction, acting through its duly chosen representatives, and restricted only by the landmarks, has the sole power and authority to determine what is and what is not "Masonic", and to fix the conditions under which a petitioner may enter Freemasonry, or, haVing entered, remain. Its only guide is its .best judgment as to what is required by the good of the Craft, and from its -decision there is no appeal. 3-The only' title to Masonic office is the best judgment of the Brethren voting or the officer appointing, uninfluenced by Improper solicitation and exercised with no consideration in mind but the highf}st good of the Craft. 4---!This Fraternity, its activities, titles, ceremonies, symbols, and emblems, are not to be used for political or commercial purposes. It repudiates all solicitation for its degrees, all advertisement, all unseemly pUblicity. It tolerates no foreign meddling in its affairs. It interferes with no man's religion and will not concern itself with matters of political or legislative policy.

FRATERNAL DEAD. The Grand Master's reference under this head is very fitting. The Grand Jurisdiction has been sadly bereaved during the recent 111onths--two Past Grand Masters, and the Grand Secretary being among the number." CHARLES H. JACOBSON. For seventeen years Grand Secretary, one whose comm~nding position in the Fraternity was acknowledged far beyond the borders of his own Jurisdiction, the peer of any man who ever held that position in any Grand Lodge in the world, and recognized as the personification of the best for which the fraternity stands. The Grand Master says of him.: "Orator; diplomat, scholar and Masonic jurist, a long line of my predecessors had found in his service al1(~ counsel their chiefest support and greatest strength." Speaking of the CONDITION OF THE CRAFT, the Grand Master says: Our Lodges are generally flourishing. As a rule their affairs are in the hands of skillful officers and the true spirit of Masonry predominates. The causes of complaint are rare and regrettable incidents and conditions tempol'ary. We have a few weak Lodges which require constant encouragement and support. Two or three others ought, for their own good and the good of the Craft, surrender their charters, and two or three more ought to remove or consolidate. In a few Lodges there is observable a tendency to degenerate into social clubs and devote an unreasonable amount of revenue and energy to entertainment; in others to neglect this feature entirely. To such should be recommende'd that conservative middle ground where, alone, 'continued prosperity and usefulness may be found. In some Lodges has developed an ambition for Thespian crowns, evidenced by an over-dramatization of. the work, marring its beauty "and weakening its power To such should be recommended a prompt return to sincerity and simplicity. In my opinion time and patience will straighten out these kinks.

The Grand Master has the following to say concerning the MASONIC SERVICE ASSOCIATION. At our last Annual Communication we withdrew from the Masonic Service Association. May 1, 1920 an assessment had been made

[Sept.

Appendix.

by that Association under which we were obligated for $212.57; March 21, 1921 I authorized the Grand Secretary to draw warrant for that amount, which was done, and our membership thereby fully terminated.

ORATION BY M. W. BRO. L. D. CRAIN. This was a most worthy deliverance, and only lack of space prevents. our quoting liberally from it. It was ordered to be published in the "Proceedings, and the路thanks of the Grand Lodge were tendered to Brother Crain. THE COMMITTEE ON

JURISPRUDENC~J

severely deprecates and condemns the advertisement in the public press of social functions, entertainments and other affairs of like nature, which are indulged in by Masons and others for their personal pieasure, without sanction, of any Masonic body, as all such affairs have a tendency to belittle, in the opinion of_the genera.'l public,. the Institu~ion of Freemasonry.

They say: We emphatically disclaim for this Grand Lodge any connection whatever with' any so-called Masonic Insurance Company. We commend the action of our Grand Secretary, Brother W. W. Cooper, in denouncing the so-called "Masonic Tuberculosis Sanitarium Association", of BOUlder, Colorado, which claims to have "Free Health Camps in Colorado and New Mexico, under the strict supervision of Master Masons, for the benefit of all Master Masons and their families". We know of no such institution in this State and no such institution has the endorsement of this Grand Lodge.

In his foreword, Brother Warner mentions the salient features of the current Masonic year as including discussions concerning the Masonic Ser.vice Association, physical qualifications, results of the abnormal increase in membership, and the precipi路tate action on the part of some Grand Lodges 'in recognizing French Masonry.

DEGREE. The Grand l\/faster says: "On Decem.ber 24, 1920, I decreed that on and after January 15, 1921; all ballot-boxes used in COllstituent lodges in this jurisdiction for balloting upon petitions should contain at least one-third as many black balls as t~ere shall be white balls, each of which shall be of wood, ,china or porcelain materials, of uniform size, and not less than one-half inch in diameter." RECOMMENDATIONS. Among these is one to observe the birthday anniversary of George Washington, on November 4th each year. Another has reference to the revisal of t'he Masonic Burial Service. Another is to observe Ii'lag Day. Another, to plant a memorial tree for each Mason who made the supreme sacrifice during the war, on the terrace, at the Ma路 sonic Home. MASONIC SERVICE ASSOCIATION. The report of the Representative to the Masonic Service Association meeting held at St. Louis in November, 1920, states some plain facts, and concludes with the following paragraph: There is however another side of the question to which I fear we in Delaware have not g-iven our路 full measure of thought. This Association and our membership therein is of value only insofar as Delaware Masonry invests therein and recognizing the need of an Educational and Service Program in aU' that lerm implies, shall immediately set to work and provide for a Bureau of Educational Service. using the Masonic Service Association of the United States of AmerIca Plan' and Scope; of providing several state lecturers and setting aside each year a sum equal to five cents per capita as recommended by the Ex.ecutive Commission, and in addition be prepared to appropriate during the next five or six years about Two Hundred and Fifty Dollars pel' annum for conting-ent expenses of the bureau. Education is a large term, covering a great deal; it cannot be measured in CUbic inches nor by the yard stick; if you please, it Is a sort of evolution, a growth and long intense tedious labor. Unless we are willing to go as far as I have indicated, it is the opinion of your representative that we might as well sever our Gonnection with the Masonic Service Association of the United States. If we impair our OWn effectiveness by lim iting our field. of operations we ruin our own capacity of good. '

thi~gs.

From his opening we excerpt the fol-

'Vho shall say to what exten t the truth's learned at the altar of Masonry shall prove the rule and guide to the mutual faith of the peoples of the earth to bring about the fiJlUl concord of nations that shall spell the end of wars? It is, indeed, good to be alive and to be permitted to play even a very small part in the great drama of reconstruction, the foundation stone of which shall be brotherly love. It is an inestimable privilege given to every Master Mason to realize and to assume the individual responsibilities placed upon him to make the fraternity in fact, as well as in intent, a dominant, militant power, to put down forever the forces of oppression, intolerance and ignorance, and to maintain the glorious principles of justice, liberty and equality which found their origin in the great hearts of our ancient and operativ.e brethren of the Craft, and which finds its best expression in those lands where speculative Masonry flourishes in the light of day. Truly, "the old order changeth, yielding to the new." Then let us, as loyal and. true Masons, re-dedicate ourselves to the great principles of the fraternity, that we may help to raise in le.tters of gold over the doorway of the temple of the new order of things, "I am my brother's brother." I r â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘ May the membership of the fraternity, wherever dispersed, be firmly united in the bonds of brotherly love and affection, which shall be ever exemplified in the practical virtues of service and sacrifice.

THE GEORGE VvASHINGTON BIBLE. The Grand Master refers to the Inauguration of the President . of the United States, and especially to the bringing of the Bible belonging to St. John's Lodge No~ 1 of New York City for the purpose of administering the oath to the President. Of course, our brethren are aware that this Bible was the one used by General Washington at the time of his inauguration. The special committee in charge of the Bible was introduced to the officials of the Supreme Court having immediate charge of the administration of the oath of office to the President-elect, and the Bible, reposing upon the small table, first used for a similar purpose at the. first inauguration of President Abraham Lincoln, wa.s broui:'ht in charge of the committee to the Iront of the inaui:'ura.l

stand. In due time the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States administered the oath of office to Brother Warren G. Harding as President of the United States on the George Washington Bible, the latter being opened at the text chosen by President Harding, the same being the eighth verse ot the sixth chapter of Micah. '.rhe other members of the Washington and New York delegations were provided with excellent places of advantage from which to hear the inaugural address of our new President, and the committeemen in charge of the Bible were given lliaces on the official stand.

VISI'fATIONS.

The GraI!d Master and his Grand Officers duly visited all the Lodges in the Grand Jurisdiction, but found the work somewhat difficult because of conditions that now obtain. "He has the following to say on this subject: 'Vhile I seriously doubt the power or authority of the Grand Lodge to prescribe the form and manner in which' the Grand Master shall make his official visitations to the constituent Lodges, yet the custom as fixed by the Constitution has been sedulously observed through all the years, and I doubt if any Grand Master will of his own initiative depart from the custom without the sanction of the Grand Lodge. In order to relieve the situation in this respect, which will soon become impossible of literal compliance, I earnestly recommend that Section 21 of the Cnstitution be amended to eliminate the mandatory provision respecting the gl'and visitations by the Grand Master "attended by his offiCers." I am convinced that the practical purposes and objects of the grand visitations will be best subserved by permitting the Grand Master a reasonable latitude both as to the time when the grand visitations shall be made and also as to those who shall accompany him thereon. Under the peculiarcondiUons existing in this jurisdiction it is impossible to conduct the visitations in the ma.nner and form as now prescribed at any other time of the year than in October and November, with the result that a large portion of the official visitations are of the most perfunctory character and do not afford even an opportunity for a social hour ,with the brethren, and most assuredly give no opportunity for the Grand Master to perform the usual duties for which the grand visitations were intended.

Action on this matter will be taken at the next Annual Communication. MASTERS' ASSOCIATION OF 1921.

The Grand Master takes opportunity to extend his thanks to this Association for the splendid work done, both as an Association and as individuals, and tells of the lightening of his own burdens therehy.

Appendix. MASONIC EMPLOYMENT BUREAU.

This Bureau is doing splendid work, a.nd plans arc:. on hand for extended usefulness by co-ordinate action between th~ Bureau and some of the' other bodies in Masonry. Masonic' Clubs and Masonic Education receive attention from the Grand Master, and, altogether, the outlook for the year indicates great progess in the Grand .Jurisdiction. '.

MASONICBDliCAT ION. The Committee on Grand Master's AddreRs made the following recommendation which was unanimously adopted: The need and usefulne~s of a Committee on Masonic Education, it is believed by this committee, is apparcnt. The present sources at which such education may be obtaincd, ilnd the advisability of ~uch sourccs for all dcsiring' to use them, arc indeed very limitcd. The work of ~uch a committee in dissenllnating- and imparting, in particular, Masonic history, law and pl{ilosOphy, through variO\.lS means of publication, should be productive of much benefit to the fraternity, not alone in the enlig-htenment of the initiate tlUt in the education of those amongst us Who are unable -to take advantage of thc limitcd available mcans now offered for obtaining such knowledge. Your committee, therefore, earnestly recommends that the Grand Lodge authorize the appointment of thch a. committee, ",..' ith duties as outlined in the recommelldation of the Grand Master.

MASONIC TEMPLE. The matter of accommodation for the various bod if'S in the National Capit~l is beginning to be very urgent, and steps are being taken to relieve the situation .. Our brethren seem to be going into.the problem with great caution and wisdom, and doubtless there will soon materialize' something that is worth-while. We wish them every success in their labors. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE. The Report on Foreign Correspondence is from the pen of M. W. Brother George W. Baird, P. G. M., and is his twenty-first. It is splendid in eyery way, and reads well. Our brother is kind to Missouri, and speaking of some of our departed worthies says: "Their names have appeared so' ofton in the report that we feel acquainted. Theodore Brace, James W. Boyd, .Jacob Lampert and Xenophon Ryland. It is a pity such mOll cannot live forever." 路We, in Missouri, believe that they do live forever.

COMMUNICATION.

The M. 'V. Grand Lodge of Florida assembled in it~ ninety-third Annual Communication in the' City of Jacksonville, at 10 o'clock A. M., Tuesday, "January 17, 1922,_ being opened in Ample Form by the Grand Master, with prayer by the Grand Chaplain. GRAND MASTER'S ADDRESS. The Grand Master's Address consists of more tha l l forty pages, mainly devoted to a recital of the various acts of his administration, but also containing several paragraphs of mor e than local interest. For instance, this excerpt from his opening paragraph: Careful consideration of tlile needs of the Craft. led me to believe that the most important work in addition to regulal" routine of administration, was to carryon the program of education. I was at once impressed with the need for organized systematic effort for the betterment of the public school system, and have endeavored during all my visitations to the Lodges of this Grand Jurisdiction to iml)I"eSS upon the Brethren of each Lodg'e, the true ideals of American citizenship, and their duty not only as American citizens, but as 1\1asons, in the upbuilding 'of our Dublic schools. Masonry has ever been the champion of our educational institutions, and the high ideals of loyalty and patriotism to our country and government should be inculcated in every Lodge. We believe that true patriotism and loyalty to our country and government can be maintained only by education of the peoDle, and that such education can only be properly given in a pubfic school, the true "melting pot" for Americanization. I hold this truth to be self-evident that the future of the American Republic, and accordingly the future of our civil and religious liberty, depends upon the :routh of our nation, and the ability of our youth to meet the problems of the Republic depends upon their education. " '

[Sept.

Therefore, it is our highest ~nd most important duty to see to it that the youth of this nation arc properly educated, with the uppermost thought of perpetuating the American nation and all t-11at it stands for, ·first and above all other powers, forces or hierarchies on the face of the earth. Allied with the duty of education, is the dnty of Masons to stand behind the organization of Boy Scouts, such as are non-sectarian, and last and most impol'tant, the ,standing behind 01Jr church organizations. I believe that a great deal of good would be accomplished, if every Lodge in this Grand Jurisdiction would elect to attend Divine service, as a Masonic body, on some one Sunday in each and every month. This is the era of Masonry's popularity, this is the epoch of Masonry's opportunity, this is the day of Masonry's responsibility. Shall it not be' the time of our reconsecration and rededication?

GRAND MASTER JULIUS C. GARRELL HONORED. .

The Grand Master of Florida appointed our popular and muchloved Brother Julius C. GalTell, as the representative of the M. W. Grand Lodge of Florida near the Grand Lodge of Missouri. VISITATIONS.

The Grand Master visited forty-six lodges during the year, and was, of course, traditionally well received. He sums up his impressions in the following paragraph, which is worthy of note: ·After a closc study of the actual workings of the fraternity I have come to the conclusion that too many members of Lodges are of, the opinion that the soteric work of Masonry is the principal part, and if they are proficient along this line that they are fully equipped as a'Mason. ,Vhile we feel that the members a re applying them~elves along this line and that the Committee on ,Vork has accomplished wonders throughout the whole jurisdiction, yet, ff our work stops there we have fallen shol't of the great work which Masonry has to accomplish. Looking forward to the greater work of Masonry which lies before us, and having in view the fact that the eyes of th€ world are upon the United States to set the pace for the reconstruction period, it behooves us as Masons, and members of this Grand Lodge, to start the campaign of education in OUI' Lodges which will set the wheels of Masonry to work in channels that will bring desired results along the right lines and assist our government in the solving of the many intricate problems which confront this nation at this time.

G.

The Lodge of Perfection 'had prepared to exemplify the work of the fourteenth degree on this occasion in order that this eminent visitor might view the work of a Masonic Body in Florida. The ';"ork was beautifully executed under the general ~"llpervision of Brother R. V. Rogero, thirty-third degree honorary of the Supreme Council, after which Brother Harding expressed his appreciation for the work done in his usual congenial manner. The cerem,ony of presenting our distinguished visitor with a Bible was very impressive and the response by Bother Harding struck ,a responsive cord Which will long be rem'embered by the Brethren present. Just one week after this meeting our President was inaugurated into office and took his oath upon the Bible taken from St. Johnr:; Lodge NO.1 of New York City, this Bible being the same one on which the first President of this nation was inaugurated upon on April 30, 1789, pressing his lips to that verse in the prophecy of Micah which asks, "What doth man require of thee but to do justice, to love mercy and to walk humbly before thy God?" to which he referred at the close of his wonderful and powerful address with the inspiring words of consecration and dedication, "This I plight to God and country."

DIMITS FROM GERMAN LODGES. '

The Grand Master reported several requests having been made asking permission to receive demits from German Lodges. He quotes the actions of the several Grand Lodges in Germany, and points out that th~ position remains the same, inasmuch as such action has not been repealed or changed, in other words, "Nothing doing." A GOOD THING.

The Grand Master says that his attention has been called .by several lodges to the increasing practice of people making requests for the rosters of individual lodges so that these may be 'worked' in the interests of commercial houses and insurance companies,-and other (wild-cat) schemes. He says: "1 would suggest that the Masters of the lodges instruct their secretaries that the names of their members should not be given out except by special permission of the Grand Master.

ANNUAL COMMUNICATION. The One Hundred and Thirty-fifth Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of Georgia was held in the City of Macon, convening at ten o'clock, A. M., October 25, 1921. The Grand Lodge was opened in Ample Form, with prayer by the Grand Chaplain, ",rorshipful and Reverend A. D.Echols.路 Among the opening proceedings, we note the following:Attention was called" to the fact that Past Grand ~'Iastcr Taylor was celebrating the eighty-eighth anniversary of his birth and his sixty-~econd continuous attendance. on the Grand Lodge. The Grand 1\faster paid a beautiful tribute to Past Grand Master Taylor.

ANNUAL ADDRESS. The Grand Master presents a short and well arranged document, devoted entirely to the business of the year, and commending highly the work of the other officers of the Grand Lodge. NECROLOGY. Under this head the Grand Master deplores the death, on Dec. 20, 1920, of Brother Joseph Cholmondeley Greenfield, Grand High Priest of the Grand Chapter of Georgia, of whom he says: "He was a Masonic scholar of rare attainment, a man路 of ability, and a great lover of the Craft; his services in the Grand Lodge of Georgia will be sadly missed." THE MASONIC HOME is reported by the Grand Master to be in excellent condition. It is stated elsewhere in the Report that the Home cares for 130 children, "all in prosperous condition"-(a good work for Georgia Masons). The Grand Master states that the ENDOWMENT FUND amounts to $140,000.00, and urges that some means be devised to increase it to $500,000.00. HOME FOR THE AGED.

the lodges, citing the fact that only 111 out of 678 lodges had Bent in their assessment, and asking for further instruction in the mattei'. MASONIC SERVICE ASSOCIATION. The report of the' Committee on this Association was com1lliended by the Grand Master, and on being presented was adopted by the Grand Lodge. This report was to the effect that, after full investigation, the committee highly commended the original purpose of the Association, and, while expressing its full appreciation of the uniform courtesy and consideration shown to the Georgia representatives by the Association, it stated its opinion that, as "no state of public or national peril now existed" such a federation of Grand Lodges was no longer necessar~', therefore it recommended that tIle Grand Master be authorized to appoint a repre.sentative from the Georgia Grand Lodge to attend the next annual meeting of the Association, and "present officially and courteously the reasons for this Grand Lodge's withdrawal", from the Association. In conclusion the Grand Master says:It is said of that old Patron Saint of our order, ST. JOHN, that in his declining days as he sat in the market places and came in contact with his fellows that he would lift his hand in Holy Benedic- â&#x20AC;˘ tion and in tender affection say, "LITTLE CHILDREN" LOVE ONE ANOTHF;R," and the last message that I would deliver to you, my . Brethren, is the same "LET US LOVE ONE ANOTHER," and may the peace and truth of God, be with you always.

As' stated

above, the theme of Brotherly Love seemed especially emphasized in this meeting of the Grand Lodge. This feeling was made strongly manifest at the time of the presentation of the Grand Master's jewel, and the scene was touching and inspiring to the many who witnessed it; as the Grand, Secretary says,-"the scene was witnessed by the tear-bedimmed of 1,200 men." Mrs. Bass, mother of the Grand Master, having been announced, the Grand Uodge was called from labor to refreshment, and Mrs. Bass was escorted to Grand East, by Past Grand Masters J. W. Taylor, Geo. M. Napier, and W. Brother J. C. Morris. The Grand Secretary pictures the scene well:-

Instinctively everyone standing paid homag'e the stalwart form of the grizzled veteran of eighty-eight yeaJ's, hearing aloft and enshrouded in the flag of the Confederacy,-the flag which, in youth he upheld, following whom was the <llmin.utive figure at the loving' m-other supported by the deYoted son; the other ladies of the

' Seated in a semi-circle before the East, memories 0-7. years ag'one and realities of the day were harmoniousl~' blended--the figures of l7ncle Jim Taylor and James Monis, one on the rig-ilt and on the left, the Boaz and the Jachin, upbearing the !lag of the Sixties and the colors that lead this twentieth century, their UNfurled beauty compassing the scene.

Past Grand Master, Geo. M. Napier, then addressed the assembled Brethren in most eloquent and heart-movin~ words, telling of how this venerable woman, a widow in early life, had reared her son, and _given him to the world,-and to MasonrY,-a man to be loved and honored. He spoke of the hardships endured, and the dangers encountered by the Grand Master, while in the service of his country during the great war, cited his many virtues, and placed him with Abon Ben Ahdem whose "name led all the rest" as "one who loved his fellow-men." 路W. Bro. Raymund Daniel, with a few \vords of n13gnetic effect, then gave the Grand Master's jewel into the keeping of Mrs. Bass, who responded with a thankful acklowledgment of aU their "goodness to Charlie." How aptly the scene was closed by these few words of Past Grand Master Bass: "Words are so weak, when love is so strong! " FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE. There is no doubt that much of the life and love shown by the Brethren of Georgia's Grand Lodge lives in the heart of the Grand Correspoildent, Brother Raymund Daniel. He presents a very fine report of 185 pages, iind his introduction is an interesting expression of opinion on. the various questions and c'onditions now confronting the Order. \Ve should be glad to reproduce it in full, if space permitted. Brother Daniel gives Missouri two pages in a l{indly and non-critical spirit. His kindness of healt is exemplified in the high compliment he pays us in coupling OUl" name with that of the Rev. M. W. Charlie Bass, P. G. M., a num as greatly loved and honored as anyone in the entire circle of Georgia Masonry; and our personal acquaintance and apprec!ation of th~ man fully justifies his great popularity with the M:lsons of Georgia, as well as with thE general public.

of St. Maries. Each of the ladies bore a basket of beautiful flowers. After pleasant greetings, the ladies retired, and the Grand Lodge resumed its labors. ANNUAL ADDRESS. The Grand Master's Address was short and to the point,-or points,-covering only ten pages of the report. Among the opening paragraphs we are especially struck wIth his citation of the responsibility resting on the Grand Lodge, and with his charge to the Brethren, all of which we are pleased to quote: The responsibilities which attach to this body are o! important character. This is the legislative body for all Masonry within this jurisdiction, the interpreter of all law, the final arbitrator in all differences that may arise among the Craft, and the guide of Masonic thought and the molder of Masonic character for both the present and future. A duty rests upon all here assembled, and the responsibility thereof must no't be lightly regarded. Have we learned to subdue our passions? Are we spreading the cement of brotherly love? Is .Justice our standard? If of this we have not learned or are learning, then it will be in vain that we ascend the three steps which lead to the Sanctum Sanclorum. , I charge you, Brethren, remember that with you rests the honor and future of the Fraternity, and with that thought uppermost in your minds, give your most serious consideration to the duties you will be called upon here to perform, and to the matters you will here have to decide.

FRATERNAL DEAD. The Grand Master, after mentioning with regret the death or , Past Grand Master John D. Bloomfield, "who serverl his generation according to the will of God", states that death has called 74 of Idaho's Masons during the year, and refers the further ,detailed report on Fraternal Dead to the Com,mittee on Necrology. VISITATIONS. Of the 72 lodges in the state, the Grand Master visited 60,-a rather unusual accomplishment. He reports the lodges in good condition, and the work well done, with possibly one exception. NEW LODGES. Dispensations were granted for five new lodges, and charters granted to two, during the year.

Appendix.

DECISIONS AND DISPENSATIONS. The Grand Master made three decisIons, and granted sIxteen dispensations during the year, all for the usual pur:Joses, and all approved by Grand Lodge. WIDOWS' AND ORPHANS' FUND. That the Masonic Brethren of Idaho are mindful of the virtues of charity is attested by the GrandMaster's report of the Fund for the widows and orphans. He states that this Fund reached the sum of $82,000.00 last year and has since been increased by about $10,000.00. MASONIC SERVICE ASSOCIATION. The Grand Master speaks at some length on this subject, recalling the fact that Idaho had, the' previous year, withdrawn from this Association on the ground that it had been organized solely as a war. measure, and that its primary object having been reo moved, its field of action was 路too vague and indefinite to call for support. He cites the work of the Association, and tlie benefits to be derived from membership therein as- follows:Let us look at the facts. It is understood by all thinking Masons that the great advance in Masonic education has been started and fost~red by thi,s Association. No, other agency has heretofore accomplished anything along this line, but now the sUbj'ect of Masonic education is the slogan in every Grand Jurisdiction in this country. . , This Association fostered and backed the idea of the George Vlashington Memorial. It was in a better position to do this work than any other agency, and because of this Assoeiation the Washington Memorial will become a reality before 'the dose of this year. The Service Association is taking up now the probl('m of solving French Masonry, a matter that has been bothering every Grand Jurisdiction in the 'country, and when they have completed their studies of the same will submit an unbiased report thereof to each Grand .Jurisdiction upon which intelligent action can be taken. . Other studies of equal value are contemplated and the information furnished to the Grand Lodge will be first hand and the best obtainable. The work of this Association is not the work of a day or of a year; we cannot hope to accomplish everything at once. With this attitude I am' confident that the Grand Lodge of Idaho will receive benefits from membership in the Masonic Service Association that cannot be estimated in dollars or cents.

(We are glad to note that later in the session the Grand Lodge discussed this question fully, and voted to renew its membeship in the Association.)

GEORGE WASHINGTON MEMORIAL. The Grand Lodge has appropriated the sum of $1,000.00 for this memorial, and the Grand Master speaks with enthusiasm of the project for the Masons of the United States,-nearly two and a half millions strong,-to build a memorial in Alexandria that "will not only care for the priceless 'relics of 路Washington. but will contain the greatest Masonic interests of all time." We are sure that some at least of our readers will be pleased with the following verses from the report of the Committee on Necrology: "'Vere a star quenched on high, For ages would its light, Still traveling downward froin the sky, Shine on our mortal sight. "So when a good man dies, For years beyond our l{en, The light he leaves behind him lies Upon the paths of men." FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE. This report covers 112 pages and review s the Proceedings of 64 Grand Lodges. It is written by the skilled and reaoypen of Brother George E. Knepper, hence \ comments on its 'interest and "worth-while-ness" are superfluous. He gives two pages to Missouri, makes a complimentary comment on the picture of Grand Master Garrell and speaks with a somewhat amused admiration of his efficiency in visitation. Further, he accords to the Correspondent some kindly words, for all of which we tender our thanks.

Prefaced by a magnificent steel-engraved portrait. of the Grand Master, M. 'V. Brother Jesse A. West, and illustrated by photos of several other worthies' of Iowa Freemal:lonry, the Proceedings are replete with a mass of informat:ion which would indicate that printer's ink in IOwa is 'believed in' as the best medium of cOIiveying information Masonic to the brethren tbroughout the Grand Jurisdiction. The 'sketch' of the Grand Master, which follows his portrait, sets forth his amiable character and many virtues, and without doubt, his Grand Lodge is proud of him. Prior to the opening of the Grand Lodge Public Exercises were held at the Waterloo Theatre, at which the Deputy Grand Master presided. Hon. C. E. PicIcett gave' an address of welcome to which the Deputy Grand Master r9sponded in felicitous terms. SEVE1'fTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL COMMUN'ICATION. The Seventy-eighth Annual Com,munication of the Grand Lodge of Iowa convened in Waterloo, Iowa, Tuesday, June 14, 1921, and was opened in Ample Form by the Grand Master. ANNUAL ADDRESS. The Annual Address of the Grand Mastt'r is, as we might expect, a lengthy document, occupying thirty-five pages. It is a splendid contribution, embodying the salient facts that have occurred路 during his administratiDn, and abounds in profound thought and lofty sentiment, and is well paragraphed. The George "Washington Memorial Association, the Masonic Service Association, and other topics of absorl~ing interest are mentioned. SYSTEM OF SPECIAL REPRESENTATIVES. This is an effort to bring specialized Masonic Teachers into touch with the lodges, and, although as yet in its infancy is showing evidences of rich fruitage. \Ve shall hear more from this institution. CORNER S'l.'ONES. Our Iowa Brethren lose no opiwrtunity of impressing their 'neigh. bors with the antiquity, and dignity of our great fraternity, and the report of corner stones laid is very refreshing.

MASONIC Rl'jSEARCH.

As is well known, Iowa leads in this wor]\:, and too much cannot be said for their perseverance in this matter. They have been crippled somewhat during the year on account of the illness of Brother Haywood, but others are getting into the harness, and the work progresses. MASONIC SFlRVICE ASSOCIATION.

Brother Schoonover, who is at the head of this work, is instant in season and out, and despite the many difficultie~ inherent to the successful - floating of this stupendous institution, is making much headway. This is a critical year in the history of the Movement, and hereafter we shall begin to know just what its value to the Craft at large will be. Just now it is ha~d to forecast, for many prominent .Jurisdictions do not see 'eye to eye' with it, and there are not wanting those who consider it an unno€cessary institution. CONDITION OF THE CRAFT. Speaking on this topic the Grand Mastel' says :-, I think it fair to say that peace and harmony prev<I il among the lodges and the mcmbership in general. True it is, there al'e a few cases wherc the Question of jurisdiction and other minor differences have arisen, but they are such as will be readily adjusted as soon as the facts are presented. It has not been nece8~ary to discipline any lodge during- the year. '''"ith one or two exceptions the officers have been prompt in answering correspondence and universally coul'teous. The question of g-ranting waivers of jurisdiction as between lodges is one that causes considerable annoyance. Lodges should not, in- my opinion, request these favors unless there are good and sufficient rcasons. A full and complete statement· of -the facts why such request is made should accompany the petition. The lodge receiving the petition should consider well the reasons given, and if deemed of sufficient impol'tance, the request should be readily granted. A few years ago, Past Grand Master \Villiam Hutchinson, then Grand Master, in discussing the condition of the craft. classed some of the disturbing elements as Trifles. • After carefully considering all the complaints received during the year, I am convinced that most all differences have their beginning in Trifles. If it 'were possible to bl'ing- togetner brothel'S at the very beginning, have a "Heart to heart" talk, before the "Scantlal Mongers" have an opportunity to mag-nify and enlarge upon the "Hearsay" story. these little differences could readily be adjusted.

Let me impress upon you the fact that one 'who originates a false~ hood, or a slander or receives and passes it, deserves to be branded as a malefactor and unworthy to l>e a Mason, for every lie, misrep~ resent.ation, color or concealment is an offense against God, and a dis~ grace to a l\lason. "If I ]olew you and you l,new me 'Tis seldom we would disagree; But never having yet elasped hand, Both often fail to understand That each intends to do what's right, And treat each other 'Honor Bright' 路How little to complain there'd be If'I knew you and you knew me." Another matter which at the beginning may be considered a trifle, but often times assumes such magnitude as to destroy the lodges usefulness temporarily and even threaten its very existence, is the use and abuse Qf the ballot. The result of the. ballot upon cvery name, no matter what the 'Verdict may be, should be made known to no one by the brethren. It is the duty of the Secretary to notify the 11etitioner of his election' or rejection. , :!.\'lany embarrassing eXlleriences are caused by some over zealo'us hrother usurping the Secretary's duties 'by immediately notifying his friend, often by telephone, that he has been elected, and later on an objection is made. It is the right of every brother to be protected in the use of the hal1ot. The cube has an important mission to perform. It is intended to be used for preserving the high standards of the institution and upon its judicious use by the votaries depends the future of our noble Order. Masonry must he protected il'om thosc sec1{ing admission, who al'C not actuated by proper motives, those Who do not believe in the' li'ntherllOod of God and the BrotherhoolI of l\Inn, those who are not illorul and UJ)rj~dJt before God and of good repute befol'e the world.

FOREIGN CORRBSPONDENCE. Two hundred and fifty pages are consumed by Brother Block's report, .and not a line unreadable in them. His foreword on ·'The Finality of the Masonic Institution' is rich. Would that we could quote from it in extenso. Missouri, as usual, comes in for brotheriy treatment. Here is a paragraph which will interest our brethren, and which will be appreciated by aU who know intimately our good Brother, Past Grand Master, C. H.

Suitable acknowledgment of the reception accorded them was made by M. W. William I. Stuart, Grand Representative of Nebraska. The Grand Master then delivered his ANNUAL ADDRESS, the opening paragraph, from which we quote, indicating the calibre of the document as a whole: It is a genuine pleasure to welcome you to this Annual Communication. Your presence is indicative that Masonry, as a speCUlative art, means something to you. That it is a vital part of your life. That you are endeavoring to live and exemplify the beautiful teachings of our Order in your business dealings, in your social gatherings, and in every walk and station, and I am happy to know that in this gathering are men who' gladly and willingly put aside, for a few days, the cares of their usual vocations and made this pilgrimage to assist Masonry and to demonstrate to the world that this body of men are doing a noble and Christ-like work. That we are banded together for good. That it is our purpose and our desire to help, aid and assist all worthy brothers. That Masonry is serious and is entitled to hold in its.membership, the best men of the community. ,Ve are certain that ours is an institution worthy of the support of all who strive to do good and fear God.

I willingly and gladly ahide by your de'cision and sincerely trust that out of the successes and failures, the pleasure and sadness, the ho'pe and ambition, that Masonr will continue to blazen the path of progress and serve to remind us that our work is the work of'the Master, and that we should not be content when we can be of some assistance to our brothers and fellows-never forgetting that "Service ahove Self" will hring that satisfaction and peace of mind you and I so much desire.

GRAND LODGl<J LIBRARY. This valuable asset of Kansas Freemasonry is largely the result of the patient and persistent labors of the Grar:d Secretary, and he reports it in good condition, and hopes that steps can be taken for the further and wider disemmination of M'lsonic knowledge among the lodges of the state. MASONIC SERVICl<J ASSOCIATION. This does not commend itself to the Kansas Brethren,. who for reasons sufficient to' them, decline to become members. 'l'HE GRAND SECRETARY. The Grand Secretary, who, fOr thirty-nine consecutive years, had never missed an annual communication of the Grand Lodge, was unable to be present at the one held one year ago, hut points out the fact that while he felt keenly the fact that he could not be preselit, on account of his severe illness, yet that he had everything in such shape in his office that the 'work of the sessiOn was in no way retarded on that account. . This calls to mind the fact that many Grand Lodges are greatly indebted to the fidelity of their Grand Secretaries, and because the work goes along so smoothly, many brethren have the idea that there is comparative~y little ,,'ark attached to that office. To all such we say: try it for yourselves, and see,-and you will be surprised. All honor to our faithful Grand Secretaries!

which impairs the usefulness and dignity of Masonry and the accuracy of, its records. He quotes at length a detailed list of instructions issued by him, and refers to a similar communication sent out by his predecessor, all of which would have been wholly unnecessary if only our plain and simple code had been properly stl1died by those responsible for its execution. He appeals feelingly to the lodges to obey their own laws. Is it possible,'brethren, that the epidemic of lawlessness, which seems to be sweeping the land, is invading our Order and corrupting even Masonic character? Against this tendency let every true Mason set himself, and take heed t~ the warning and timely admonition of the Grand Master. It is also hoped that the incoming Grano. Master and Council of Administration will use every possible means of persuasion and authority to secure the orderly conduct of our Masonic affairs, and to punish persistent offenders.

THE ONE HUNDRED AND T"WENTY-FIRST ANNUAL COMMUNICATION of the Grand Lodge of Kentucky was opened in Ample Form at 10 A. M. on Tuesday, October 18, 1921, in the Flexner Building, Louisville, Ky. Past Grand Master, Bernard G. Witt, presented Brother M. B. Jones, Grand High Priest, of the Grand Chapter of California, and he was fittingly received and welcomed. GRAND MASTER'S ADDRESS. This is a worthy document of twenty pages, mostly devoted to the work of the year as it immediately related to the Grand Jurisdiction of Kentucky. PROXIES. The Grand Master granted an unusual number of proxies during the year for various purposes, among which we note one of interest to our brethren of Missouri: "July 4th, 1921, to Rt.Wor. Rev. Dr. Arthur Mather, Grand Chaplain of the Grand Lodge of' Missouri, and W. M. of Forest Park Lodge, No. 578 of St. Louis, Mo., to lay corner stone of a new Methodist Church at Tolu, Ky." DISPENSATIONS. The Grand Master issued ten Dispensations for the form,ation of new lodges. He refused seventeen dispensations for various purposes, and granted seven for the changing of plaee of meeting and for holding of election out of time. THE MASONIC THEATRE. The Grand Master reports the sale of this building, and or the advantageous terms obtained. He also suggests the propriety of the various Grand Bodies getting together and bliilding a Masonic Temple for Louisville. RECOMMENDATIONS. Among a number recommended by the Grand Master is one for a change in the Constitution so as to permit a brother to hold dual membership, i. e, membership in more than one jurisdiction.

Another concerns the use of Ciphers, which the Grand Master abhors. 'KU KLUX KLAN. Speaking of this, the Grand Master says: As Grand Master of Kentucky, and speaking the sent iment 1 trust, of over 66,000 good men and true, who are taught in the first degree of Masonry not to countenance disloyalty or rebellion, but to be quiet and peaceable citizens in the community in which they live, therefore at this time when there is So much lawlessness, crime, robbery and murder, we should stand behind the legally constituted and elected officers of the Nation, State and Municipality, in seeing that law and order prevails. â&#x20AC;˘ Any man 01' body of men, who presume to take the law in their own hands is considered by law a mob, and Âˇtherefore subject themselves for prosecution by the laws of the land, and any Mason who is connected in any manner whatever in such unlawful practice is violating the principles of the great ordel' of Masonry, and should if known be dealt with by having the severest penalty IUlOwn Masollry infticted upon him or them.

The daily press not only in our own beloved State but of several other States carry big headlines of activities of the Ku Klux Klan, even giving account of battle with officers of the law whose sworn duty it is to see that the laws are enforced, a.s well as defying the same officers who are trying to prevent theil' parades and meetings. Most of their activities are under cover of darl,ness. \vhich proves to you and me that their cause is not just, neither would they be if in broad daylight, the iml)lied reason for darl,ness is possibly sal that its followers may be less likely to be recognized. It is hoped that none of our members will pal'ticipate in any unlawful gathering that will cause any blot upon their name or bring re!H'oach upon this great order. Their numbers are quoted as approximately 700,000 certainly a small number of citizens to presume themselves above the law of country and State.

THE MILLION DOLLAR FUND. The M:illion Dollar Fund for the new Masonic Home is making splendid progress, and is a great triumph for our Kentucky breth-. reno FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE. This is from the facile pen of our good .Brother W. W. Clar}{e, and is very readable. Missouri is included in his review. From' his Conclusion we quote: There is a very apparent disposition on the part of Grand Lodges to get back to pre-war conservatism. The emotional hysteria-a

natural, if dang'erous psychological condition-engendered' and fostered by the great struggle of civilization for existence, when natioi1s and people were drawn close together for the time, is passing. Politically, a Leag'ue of Nations is a far-sighted and eminentlyrighteous conception, certain American socalled statesmen to the contrary, notwithstanding; but, in the nature of things, a League of Masons m.ust be exclusive, and can, if it maintains its distinctive type, admit within itself only those who hold to and maintain certain dogm.atic docrtines l)eculial' to it. Hence, Grand Lodges are again insisting that recognition shall be extended to those only clearly subject to this classification. In this they are right. Only in this m路anner can l\fasonry, as Masonry, be maintained. Only in this manner can be prevented a drift, which; if it once set in, will ultimately completely change the Masonic character and Masonic concept. Unfortunately, tH.ere exists among Grand Lodges a difference ot views as to just what this cOI~cept is-as to just ,vhat is that something that is peculiar to Masonry, that something v,,路ithout ,,,'hich an association, even though it calls itself Masonic is, nevertheless. not :Masonry; and it is modestly suggested that a teal service would be accomplished for the Masonic order if an effort were made by the Grand Lodges, admittedly Masonic, to reach agreement on this vital question.

DISTINGUISHED VISITORS. Most Worshipful Brother Andrew L. Randell and William James of the Grand Lodge of Texas were presented to the Grand Lodge and received with private Grand Honors of Masonry. Each of these distinguished brethren addressed the Grand I,odge, expressing their pleasure at being permitted to be present; Brother Randell especially dwelling upon the close relations eXisting between our several Grand Lodges, the three Lodges which participated in the organization of the Grand Lodge of Texas, having been originally chartered by the Grand Lodge of Louisiana. Brother Randell stated that while the child had outgrown the parent and was now nearly four times its numerical strength, still the bonds of friendship between the several jurisdictions were never more close than at the present time, and he esteemed it a privilege to convey to us the love and best wishes of the one hundred and ten thousand Masons of the State of Texas. The members of the Grand Lodge expressed their pleasure of these addresses by continued and prolonged applause, and the distinguished brethren were then invited by the Grand Master to seats in the East.

GRAND rMASTER'S ADDRESS. In his opening, t.he Grand Master says: Our forefathers laid a strong foundation, a magnificent cornerstone of Masonry in this State. By that very act they have made it incumbent upon us to build a superstructure worthy of that foundation. We can keep the good of the Past, only by vitalizing it with the best of To-day. Each and every 'achievement of the Past a!1d of the Present is and should be but a potent inspiration for fresh endeavor. Fortunately, as individuals, as organizations, our real growth is not according to an arithmetical, but according to a geometrical ratio; 'that is, To-day's increment of new life is not superimposed upon the Past but is multiplied in to it, revitalizing, strenghtening, enlarging the whole! Thus each achievement of the Present enla.rges the foundation and at the sam.e time gives us a newer and higher viewpoint, a broader and wider prospective from which to take our bearings, to plan, to work. The moment a person or an organization quits growing mentally and spiritually, that very moment that organization begins to die; unless some appreciable quantity and quality of new life is added continuously, it dies-it becomes but a corpse, a worn-out shell, no matter if it does stay above ground a score of years, or even a score of .decades longer. Therefore, brethren, let us thank God that Masonry is alive and growing, that each and every year of its organized life is marked by mental expansion, by spiritual upreach.

MASONIC SERVICE ASSOCIA'TION.

The Grand Master grows eloquent upon this sub,i.ect, and cries out:

19l2,]

Appendix.

"God give us rn,en; tirn,es like these demand Strong minds, great hearts, true faith, ready hands, Men whom the lust of office does not kill, Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy, Men who possess opinions and a will, Men who have honor, men who will not lie, Men who can stand before the demagogue And damn his treacherous flatteries without winking, Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above the mists In public duty and in private thinking, For while the rabble with their thumb-worn creeds, Their large professions and their little deeds, Mingle in selfish strife, 10, freedom weeps, Wrong rules the land and waiting justice sleeps."

RELIEF', Speaking of this, the Grand Master says: 'V,hile the great Order of Freemasonry is not an organization for charity, it is. a charitable organization, and has always extended a helping hand to the needy and has endeavored to restore peace to the troubled bosom of the worthy. But it is 'a regrettable fact that some of our members seem to think that the small fee which 路they nec~s颅 sarily pay to get into the Lodge entitles them not only to a letter of credit, a passport to a sanitarium, if feeling bad, and an insurance policy containing a sick and disability clause, but also to an annuity to their families ever afterward if they die. Of course, such cases are the exception and not the rule.

CHARTERS ARRl<JSTED. The Grand Master had a 'great time' with a couple of refractory lodges, and found it necessary to arrest their Charters, However, after the ,lapse of some time, the Grand Master restored the Charters, hoping that the lesson thus administered had the desired effect upon the brethren concerned. DISPENSATIONS. An abnormally large number of dispensations were granted by the Grand Master, mostly for conferring degrees under unusual conditions. The Committee on Jurisprudence did not like this, and, while conceeding the right of the Grand Master to issue dispensati,ons, yet they intimated tha~ there should bo some limit, that is, in the cases hefore them for review.

VISITATIONS.

The Grand Master made a good many visits, and his account of these delightful occasions make good reading. In the case of a visit to Homer Lodge, No. 152, for the purpose of helping to arouse interest in raising money with .which to build a new Temple, he says: We assembled in ,the Parish Court House. 'l'he meeting was presided over by Bro. T. H. McEachern. who, when it came to raising money, showed some symptoms of Methodism. About two hours were consumed by varioUs speakers, who, each in turn, made the giving of money for such a purpose seem not only a duty but a pleasure, after which the brethren, who had filled the auditorium to overflowing, began to contribute. Bro. C. O. Ferguson, Treasurer or Homer Lodge, started things moving by subscribing $1,000.00; this was followed by Bro. J. R. Madden, Bro. J. S. Richardson and others subscribing' large amounts. The spirit of giving became contagious, spreading' through the entire audience, and in a short while $15,000.00 had been subscribed. ;J

LODGES U. D. AND CHARTERED.

The Grand Master instituted 12 lodges U. D., and 11 were con路 stituted under Charter.

NEW TEMPLE. This is a 'bnrning question' with our Louisiana Brethren;' and they have a great task before them. It looks now as though a Temple worth at least two and a quarter mlllio.ns will soon iu~teria颅 lize, and it will mean much to the Crescent City, and to Masonry in the Grand Jurisdiction of Louisiana.

IvlEXICAN

FRE~lV1ASONH.Y.

The question has had th9 attention of the Grand Master, he being OIle of the Commission that went down to Mexico City to try to "iron out" the difficulties between the Grand Lodge Valle de Mexico and the York Grand Lodge of Mexico. . As is well known this did not come. to pass, and the C<;m").miltee on Foreign Corres路 pondence wisely recommends the Grand Lodge to keep hands off until the Mexican Brethren could come to some sort of a working agreement.

MASONIC lJOME. The Brethren in Louisiana need a Masoaic Home, and need it badly. It is therefore gratifying that steps have no,,' been taken to meet that need, and we trust that ere long the Grand Jurisdiction of Louisiana will have as fine a plant as any in the whole country,

GRAND SECRETARY'S HEPORT, We cannot refrain from quoting the folJ.owing from the Grand Secretary's Report, because Brother Davilla is a r;entleman "to the manor born", and withal such a splendid specimen of noble Freemasonry: While the GI:and Lodge is to be congratulated ul)on its numerical growth, we believe that there is more cause fOl' ~eeling gratified by the very noticeable spread of understanding: of ·th€ true spirit of Masonry, Nevel' before have we seen the brethren so eager fOl' information on· Masonic topics. On every visit thr'oughout the State with th.e Grand Master and other official;; we have been favored with larg'e gatherings, eager for the light. 'Ve may confidently say, that the Masons of Louisiana are keenly alive to their duties and responsibilities and that in their private lives and actions they are ready to demonstrate to the wOI'ld the value and potency of the instruction8 received at our altars. Knowing what we do of them, we feel that the time is here when our influencc must be felt in evel'y Parish of our beloved State and bc of considerable aid in advancing her to an exalted. position in thc Union. Handsome Masonic Tem,ples and school houses for both races now adorn evel'y cornel' of the State. The brethren arQ thoroug'hly alive to the necessity of giving' their whole hearted su,pport to t.he Public Schools and without doubt are primed to rellel any attacks which might tend to mitigate against their full and· unqualified support and maintenance by the State. As I sit and write, it seems to be the dawn of a new era, the old order appears t.o be passing and Louisiana so long credited ' .... ith being the cradle of every lIg'ht and frivolous deed, needs but. very little moral leaven to be the New Arcadia in fact as in name. "Land of the mock'ing' bird, sunlight nad heauty; Land where the willow bends over the strcam; Land where the odors of sweet scented flowers Enraptures Jhe senses and nUl'tures a dream; Land of my boyhood, my manhood, my prime; Land of my soul's love and land of my birth! Let me sleep where the arm of thy cypress is wavin~ And gray col9red mosses are trailing the earth,"

ONE HUNDRED AND SECOND ANNUAL COMMUNICATION. The Most \Vorshipful Grand Lodge of Ancient, Free and, Accepted Masops of the State of Maine met in Annual Communication in the Masonic Temple at Portland, Maine, on Tuesday, May 3, 1921, at nine o'clock in the morning. The Grand Lodge was opened in ample form by the Grand Master: M. \V. Brother Edward W. Wheeler, prayer being offired by the Rev. Bro. Ashley A. Smith, Grand Chaplain. THE GRAND MASTIDR'S ADDRESS is a brief document, setting forth the acts of his officialadministration, and commenting upon various phases of our great work as Masonic Craftsmen. Speaking of the abnormal conditions which prevail in Masonry today, the Grand Master says: In the aftermath of the great upheaval of the world from which we have so happily and triumphantly emerged, we find a disturbing spirit of unrest with many and varied manifestations. To all well reasoned complaints of existing industrial, economic or social conditions we should give thoughtful, intelligent and sympathetic attention. But to all of the evil tendencies and vicious influences Which seek to destroy or impair the structure of our government, erected so largely through the efforts and sacriflces of our Masonic fore-

fathenl, and whose constitutional guaranties afford protection for our lives, liberties' and possessions, the Masons of Maine will continue to present" a determined and unyielding resistance. And it is gratifying to discern that even in the midst of contending forces of bitternes and jealousy, the instituti'on of Masonry has gained and developed in strength and grandeur. The existence of these opposing forces should make us more fully realize our responsibility, and more earnestly endeavor to extend, by precept and example, the constructive and preserving influence of this ancient and honorable institution whose achievements have brought into being almost every other benevolent order in the world today, and which is the greatest human agency ever devised for uniting the people of all creeds and nationalities into one common brotherhood. Let us cause the Light of Masonry to shine with greater effulgence, that its comforting and inspiring rays may penetrate all of our activities and by dispelling all dissention and misunderstanding, make brighter the pathway of Friendship, Morality, and Brotherly Love.

MASONIC RELIEF.

On this subject the GrandMaster has this to say: To relieve the distressed is a duty incumbent on all men. but particularly on Masons because of the nature of the ties that bind us together. This duty is impressed upon us at every step of our progress in Masonry. But I am constrained to believe that many of our Lodges have given greater emphasis to this duty in the ritual and the .ceremonies of initiation than in actual practice and performance. The average income of the Lodges of Maine is not sufficient to enable them to meet necessary and unexpected calls for relief, while the ,dues of many of them arc so low that they detract from the dignity of Masonry. The several Lodges should establish dues which will enabll? them to meet their usual and ordinary expenses and proVide a substantial sum each year for charitable uses. Every Lodge should undertake the creation of a charity fund which would make special assessments and voluntary contributions for such purposes unnecessary. It should be constantly remembered, however, that no financial contribution by a Lodge to a distressed brother or those dependent upon him can be regarded as a substitute for that personal attention and sympathetic interest in a brother's welfare which adds so much to the sentiment and joy of life. "'Tis, the human touch in this world that counts, The touch of your hand and mine, For it means much more to a sorrowing heart, Than shelter, or bread or wine; For shelter is gone when the night is over, And bread lasts only a day, But the touch of the hand and the sound of the vO'ice Live on, in the soul, alway."

[Sept. MASONIC SERVICE ASSOCIATION. Spealdng of this, the Grand Master says:

This association was formed in 1918 to secure gTcater coordination and efficiency in providing' assistance to members of the fraternity who were serving "in the American Expeditional'y Forces, and also to provide a central ol'ganization through which the several Grand Lodges of the United States mig'ht engage in systematic charity on a large scale. '\lhile the l)articular occasion which brought this organization into existence has passed, the association will be maintained in an effort to promote Masonic education and enlarge the service and usefulness of the ordel'. The Masons of Maine may be "expected to co-operate willingly in any rational plan to increase their knowledge and understanding of the science of Freemasonry, but will hesitate to join in any movement which will lead the order into new and dangerous paths. Freemasonry has survived through the ages and has reached its J)I'esent proud cstate by a close adherencc to its precedents and tl'arlitions. ~Thile all Masons are taught to give loyal devotion and steadfast obedience to constituted authority, and not to countenance any disloyalty to the Country in which they live, the order takes no part in matters of legislation or questions of governmental policy. It must not be diverted from its dignified and accustomed course into fields of unmasonic controversy. ~Te shall need to be Well assured that such a result will not follo,,, the activities of this association before we decide to join its membership. In his "Conclusion" the Grand Master has a very significant

paragraph, which is well worthy of reproduction.

He says:

The ordcr of Freemasonry has descended to us through many centuries of splendid tl'aditions and brilliant achievements, To the present generation it is indeed a priceless heritage. Our pride in its glorious past and in the strength and splendor of its pres\~n\ position furnishes abundant reason for our faith" in its future. BUl just as no man should expect to live upon his reputation, so no insti路 tution can long' endure upon the record of its past performanccs alone. The future of :Masonry in Maine is in OUI' hands and in the hands of those who shqll come after us. Let us adopt the motto to Carry On and Carry Forward. So that this great benevolent institution, whose benefits and IH'ivileges we so highly prize, and whose associations we so richly enjoy, may continue to bless mankind, to inspire its members with higher ideals of life and service, to inculcate the lessons of charity and benevolence, and to promote a spirit of genuine brotherhood among men, and thus achieve and fulfill its great and noble mission upon the earth.

District D~puty Grand Masters, and seventy-four Brethren. We wish to say here that the memorial pages to the Past Grand Officers, ' w~ich are included in the Proceedings are in most excellent taste, and the poetic selections on the reverse sides are, without excepti~n, beautiful and appealing. In speaking of the Condition of the Order, the Grand Master uses a selection which, to our mind, is very apt -and beautiful, and we are sure our readers' will thank UlS for its reproduction,-in part: "Travellers returning from the Holy Land tell us of the wonderful Sea of Galilee, how its shores are bordel'ed with beautiful flowers, the fragrance of which is wafted over the waters, a continual delight to those fortunate enoug'h to be floating On the surface of that beauteous lake. The crystal waves toss themselves about in all their purity, joyously alive to the glorious sunlight nad casting about the rainbow tints in marvellous showers of colors. "But drifting down' the River JOl:dan the traveller soon com,es to a vastly different body of water. In a short tim.e one has reached the Dead Sea. Here all is changed. No beautiful flowers embroider the shores of that sea, but all is desolate, bleak and barren. The shores are encrusted with salt and the only ordors that float about are the miasma of that stagnant she'et, usually deadly to human beings except to those whose miserable lot in life has acclimated them to those hopeless shores. And it is said that even the fish that exist in those briny waters are without eyes. "Now the reason for the difference between these two bodies of water is this-the Sea of Galilee takes all the waters that come to it and after using these waters for its own purposes passes them on to bless other regions below. But the Dead Sea takes all that comes to it and passes them on not at all, that sea being without outlet of any kind. "And I have frequently thought to myself, so are men. There are m,en who take the blessings of this life that come to them, and after using them, as they may, pass' them on for the benefit of others. These men's lives are like the Sea of Galilee, bordered with beauty, and their whole existence exhales a perfume that delights and enhances all who are fortunate enough to come within the radiance or their personaltiy. Again there are other men who take the blessings of this life and keep them to themselves; shut up within the narrow lim.its of selfishness, they give nothin'g out. Their lives are like the Dead Sea, bordered with the bleak and barren salts of selfishness, their whole exist~ncegiving forth nothing but bitter dead sea fruit. "He who loves himself too much must needs love others too little. And he who cannot do another a good turn is miserably poor whether his inability arises through poverty of spirit, sordidness of soul or personal indigence. Certainly the spriit of masonry had caught that old Roman who said: '.Men in no reSI)ect so nearly approach the Diety as when -they confer benefits on other men. To serve and to do good

(0 others, there is nothing greater in your future than that you should be desirous to do this.' "I conceive the spirit of Masonry to consist in gathering up the sunbeams all along our paths and refracting them undiminished through the medium of our own genial good nature for the benefit ot others round about. That man best performs his duty here on earth who adds to the sum of human happiness. And that man who contributes to this sum according to his ability has. caught the spirit of Masonry, and his life will be like the Sea of Galilee, bordered with beauty and continually exhaling the perfume of disinterested affection. Riches and affiuence are not necessary to attain these heights; for the kindly w.ord, the cheering smile, the hearty handclasp, may well m;ean more to a struggling brother than all the riches of Solomon, lavishly given, if unaccompanied by interest and love. Let us carry this broad spirit about with us, illuminating not only our Lodges and halls and our personal homes, but the dull seats of business as well. Let us keep our light continuously burning. sending its beams over the troublous waters of life, where the gleam may reach some world-sick brother toiling wearily amidst the billows of fate."

RULINGS. In a technical sense, there were none. DISPENSATIONS. The Grand Master reports five Dispensations for New Lodges, and a large number for minor purposes. VISITATIONS. Ten District Meetings were held, and 2,1 lodges visited by Grand Master during the year.

INVITATIONS. The Grand Master read an invitation from the Grand Lodge of North Dakota to be present at, and participate in An International Masonic Celebration to be held Tuesday, June 21, 1921, at Pembina, N. D. He outlined the occasion as follows: THE OCCASION. The occasion ot this International Masonic celebration is the unveiling and dedication of a marker and tablet on the site or the building in which the first regularly organized Masonic Lodge within the confines of the State of North Dakota held its meetings during

[Sept. )

the winter of 1863-64. This I:"odge known as i'\orthern Lights Lodge was organiz~d under a dispensation issued by Grand Master A. T. C. Pierson of Minnesota in September, 1863. The original members were soldiers being' sent ot garrison the post at Pembina. During the winter of 1863-64 a number of candidates from Fort Garry, now \Vinnipeg, received Masonic Light in this Lodge. Later because of the exigencies of military sel'vice the original members were removed from Pembina. The dispensation of the Lodge was renewed and it was transferred to Fort Garry, where the Lodge continued adive until 1868-69. \Vhile the Charter was issued, it was never delivered and in 1870 was revoked. From this brief outline it will be seen that this old Lodg'e laid the foundations of Masonry not only in North Dakota, but also in Manitoba 路and the Canadian Northwest. These two Grand Lodges, together with Minnesota, have a peculiar interest in this Lodge and this occasion hence its Intel'national character.

The Committee on Benevolence reports an annual expenditure of $8,700.00, and suggests the necessity of an increase in the Fund for Benevolence, closing their report with these beautiful lines:-. \Ve are building better pathways for the feet of m.en to tread They shall look on greater s11lendors in the years that lie ahead But the hand of grief shall find them, they shall feel the touch of care Anli shall need good friends about them, in the darkness of despair. We can never m,ake it over to a world that's sorrow free, Despite all OUI' brave endeavors, grief and care shall always be, And. when all the" laws are written that the hand of men can pen, There ,,,ill still be need for kindness and for brave and helpful men.

FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE. The Report of the Committee on Foreign Correspondence is an able and interesting review of the opinions of some of the Grand Jurisdictions concerning some of the questions that interest, and the problems that now confront the Order, but as it is in topical form, it presents difficulties to the reviewer, and we can only say of it, as of much other ahle and instructive work, that we regret we cannot repro.duce it in full.

He reports that during the six months there has been a gain of 1,862 members, and that the additional t.l'l11 dollars charged with the regular fees has netted the sum of $10,710.00'. He mal{es report of a number of Official visits, which indicate a healthy state of affairs in the Grand JU1路isdiction.

BOARD OF RELIEF. Part of the Report of this Board is interesting, in that it illustrates what is going on all the time, in the way of lending the helping hand, and of detecting the unworthy. Masonry has great cause for thankfulness to the faithful men among her ranks that devote so much time and talent to this work. Here is an instance: At the Maryland General Hospital there was a man, fairly well versed in Masonry. who was suffering from amnesia or loss or mem.ory. Our Board went to considerable trouble and expense in trying to place him in communication with his relatives and friends. After nine weeks at the hospital he was discharge.d and two weeks after that he claimed to have sUddenly regained his memory and claimed that he was a son of a Paris, France, physician. Opinions seem to be divided whether he was faking or not. The imposters and frauds were more numerous during the past six months than for some time. Five were detected and turned away by us. Three were only detected after we had advanced them small sums of tn;oney.

SALEM LODGE, NO. 1!J6. The Grand Lodge had before it a report of the Committee on Grievances concerning路 the condition of this lodge, and involving the then Worshipful Master. The Coinmittee exonerated the Master from the charges made, and recommended that the Grand Lodge appoint a special committee to investigate matters connected with the lodge and report at the Annual Communication. This was done, and the Committee, on making its report, recommended that the Charter of Salem I.. odge be continued; and that it be given another trial. The report was adopted by the Grand Lodge, but the Committee was continued. THE ANNUAL COMMUNICATION. This was held in the City of Baltimore, on November 15, 1921, at 3 o'clock P. M., the Grand Lodge being opened in Due Form by the Deputy Grand Master, and the usaal formalities pertaining to custom in Maryland were carried out. PAST GRAND MASTER C: J. HOMER, .1R. The absence of Past Grand Master Homer was greatly regretted, this being the first time that he had missed a session of the

Grand Lodge since 1904. (It is with sincere regret Yve record the fact of his translation to the Celestial Lodge since the Proceedings of Maryland reached our table.) MASONIC IMPOSTERS. The Grand Master calls attention'to the fact that a great many of them are working, especially throughout,the rural districts, and he gives a timely warning concerning these. GEORGE WASHINGTON MEMORIAL. The amount of $38,201.23 was reported as having been raised in the Maryland lodges for this great object, which is away ahead of the per capita asked for. This is just like Maryland, however, and we are not surprised. MASONIC SERVICE ASSOCIATION. This receives the sympathetic consideration of the Grand Lodge and Maryland was honored by the election of Brother Homer as Treasurer of the Association. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE. Brother Henry Branch submits a report covering about eighty pakes, in which he says that all the Grand Lodges with which Maryland is in amity breathe a most kindly spirit toward them. Missouri for ll.920 is reviewed in one page.

printer to 'Proceed.' As soon as we received the volume we called up the printer and asked if he could so arrange matters as to allow a brief 'review' to be incorporated, and, true 'craftsman' that he is, he said 'send it on today, and it will be taken care of!' \Ve are thus shut up to the barest survey of the doings of this Grand Jurisdiction this y.ear, and regret it exceedingly The volume before us is, as we usually expect from Massachusetts, both large and well-gotten up, and filled with matters of great importance and interest. Four Qua!'terly Communications, Twenty-three Special Communications, and the Stated Communication for the observation of the Feast of St. John the Evangelist, on December 27, 1921, are recorded, and the volume is further embellished with half-tone full-page cuts of a number of distinguished brethren, and other illustrations. At the ~March' Quarterly Communication the Grand Lodge met under the presidency of the Deputy Grand Master, M. W. Brother Prince, Grand Master, being on an official tour to the Canal Zone for purpose of inspecting the work of that Grand District. His report of that visit, made at the 'June' Quarterly Communication, ahounds with interesting iten1s, and in~icates that the 'Brethren' in that far-off place are doing sple~did worl{, and Worthily upholding the best traditions of our great Fraternity.

Massachusetts, according to the report of the Committee, is the first Grand Jurisdiction to 'go over the top' with this quota, and the balance over will he a handsom.e one. MASONIC SERVICE ASSOCIATION. The Grand Master regrets that more of the lodges have not. availed themselves of the Speakers' Bureau, and hope for better things along this line. BEQUESTS. ,Referring to the passing of Rt. \Vor. Brother Daniel W. Lawrence, past ninety years of age, and for lnany years a conspicuous figure in the Freemasonry of the 'Bay State,' the Grand Master points out the fact that both citizenship and Masonry are put into concrete terms by his will.

Brother Lawrence left large bequests to his native city, and also to the Masonic Fraternity. Mention. is made of others, also along the same line.

JOHN ADAMS. The Grand Secretary has searched the Grand Lodge records, and reports that there is no trace of an~rthing that would indicate that President John Adams was a Mason. On the contrary there is a letter which shows that he was not. This ought to settle that point from now on. LIMITING THE MAKING OF MASONS. The Committee appointed to bring in a report on the proposed ammendment limiting the number of 'raisings' in any lodge during a year reported adversely, and their report was adopted. Massa· chusetts evidently realizes that the great 'rush' of the last few years is not likely to continue indefinitely. THE GRAND FEAST. This is always a great occasion, and this year the Menu Card bore upon its first page a fine portrllit of Prosident W. G. Harding. Addresses were delivered by Congressman .J. J. Rogers, Dr. Philip Sze, of China, Mr. M. Y. Chung, another visitor from China, R. W. C. H. Johnson, and Rev. Percy E. Thomas. Grand Chaplain of the Grand Lodge of Connecticut. We wish that space would permit excerpts from these timely and enjoyable 'deliverances.' There is no Report on Correspondence.

Part 2, however, has up to time of writing this review, failed to make its appearance, and we are. therefore deprived of the pleasure of perusing,that part of the work of the Grand Lodge. An elegant frontispiece, in the shape of a ~ife-like picture of the Dew Grand Master, M. W. Brother Paul H. Murphy, introduces the Proceedings, and there are also cuts of the lamented M. W. Brother Oliver Lee McKay, Past GrandMaster, and late Grand Secretary, M. W. Brother E. L. Faucette; the new Grand Secretary and Brothers James M. F. Hill and Henry L. Whitfield, both conspicious for their service and devotion to the Masonic' Homes of Mississippi. The biographical sketch of M. W. Brother Paul H. Murphy reveals a man of sterling worth, and Masonic usefulness, such as any Grand Jurisdiction might be proud of. Prior to the opening of the Grand Lodge a spe~ial program .wa路~ gone through at the City Hall, Meridian, Brother Laney Cason, presiding. Addresses of welcome were given on behalf of the City, the Masonic Bodies of Meridian, and the Eastern Star, and fitting response made to the same. ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTH ANNUAL COMMUNICATION. The One Hundred and 'Fourth Annual Communication ot the Grand Lodge of Mississippi Free and Accepted Masons began1n the City of Meridian, Mississippi, on Tuesday, February 21,. 1922, at eleven o'clock A. M. The Secretary having announced that a constitutional quorum was present, the Grand ~aster opened the Grand Lodge in Ample Form, prayer being offered by the Grand Chaplain. GRAND MASTER'S ADDRESS. The Grand Master is to be commended for the hrief-businesslike document which comprises his Annual Address. He pays becoming tribt~te to the Fraternal Dead, mentioning especially the great loss sustained through the passing of M. W. Brother Oliver Lee McKay; and also enum,erating the distinguished brethren who have entered the 'Beyond' from other Grand Jurisdictions.

CORNER STONES LAID.

The Grand Master reports seven corner stones laid, four by himself, and three by others deputized by him. Six new lodges were chartered, and 路ten dispensations were granted for the formation of new' lodges.

NE\V GRAND SECRETARY.

Referring to the vacancy",created by the death of Brother McKay, the Grand Master said: Realizing that the good of the Institution was paramount to all else, and with the honest purpose of selecting one in' whose devo路 tion, energy and untiring zeal in the cause of Masonry, as well as his ability, qualifications, and universal popularity would make him acceptable to the brethren of this Grand Lodge, I appointed Past Grand Master Edward L. Faucette, Grand Secretary, to fill out the unexpired term of Brother Oliver L~e McKay, deceased.

VISITATIONS.

Of these the Grand Master says: There are many comments on my official visits which I should like to rn:ake, but neither time nor space will permit. I was not priVileged to accept all invitations extended to me. I have enjoyed meeting with the brethren in their Lodge rooms, at their speciai events, and their Masonic picnics, but it is impossible for a Grand Master to so arrange his personal affairs, .01' to possess the physical endurance to accept all the invitations extended; however, the mla-ny favors bestowed and the kindly words of appreciation and encouragement spoken, have placed me under lasting obligations to the Craft.

MEMBERSHIP.

The Grand Master observes that: The increase in membership during the past year is 2339 and considering the financial condition of the country, this is a very r.emarl{able showing. So many are applying for admission that the greatest care must be exercised in the selection of those whom we admit. yet at the sam,e time, we must remember that the more members we get of the right stamp and character, the greater will be our influence. We should admit none knowingly into our ranks who are not moral and upright before God and of good report before the world. Too much stress cannot be laid on the fact that the design of the Masonic Institution is nut to make bad men good, but good men better.

MASONIC HOMES. Our Brethren in Mississippi have great cause for reJoIcmg ..over their "Homes",--one at Meridian, the other at Columbus. During the past year they have received a valuable addition in the shape of a farm, near to the Home at Columbus, the gift. without any strings a.ttached, of Brother B. B. Jones. This farm is eonservatively valued at $115,000.00, and is a priceless hoon to the \york of the Home. We like t.o hear of this kind of - donation. Let the wealthy brethren of other jurisdictions ponder over this action, and then "go and do ~iI{ewise."

COMMITTEE ON FINANCE. The Grand Lodge of Mississippi is in good shape,-financially as will be seen from the following excerpt from the Report of the Committee: OUl' annual report of the 'financial affairs of the Grand Lodg-e Is here submitted for路 the year ending- on the 20th day of January, 1922, and a study thereof discloses substantial growth and increase in the Grand Lodge's financial condition. In fact, a satisfactory growth in every department of Masonry during- the year is easily observable,. There has been no occasion fOI' the borrowing of any money, but every obligation and e'xpense has been promptly met by the payment of cash. There are now substantial balances to the credit of the various and respective funds amply sufficient to 'take car'c of various oblig'ations during the incoming-year. The present assets of the Grand Lodge amount to $606,349.65 as against $471,377.52 at this time one year ago, showing' a net increase in assets of $134,972.13 for the year just ending-. The sum of $91,652.60 of the above increase in assets represents thc property given the Grand Lodg'e by Brothei' B. B. Jones, which is located at Columbus; the _ re.m.ainder of the said increase, namely, $41,219.53 represents the - g'eneral increase of the assets of the Grand Lpdge:

The Invocation was offered by the R. W. Grand Chaplain, Rev. Frank B. Lewis. An address of welconie was proffered by 1\£3.yor James G. Cocking, who, in his opening remarks, congratulated himself on the honor of being the first Mason, as Mayor, to welcome a Grand Lodge to the city of Butte, and he further said that 11(' attributed his election to that responsible office to the fact that he was a Mason. The Grand Master introduced M. 'V. Brother Walter L. Stockwell, Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge of North Dakota, and expressed the great pleasure felt by the Grand Lodge on this occasion of his thil'd vsiit.-

ANNUAL ADDRESS. Although the Grand Master very modestly says that he has failed to realize his high aspirations in carrying out his plans for the work of the office, ,his Address impresses the reader with bis efficiency and zeal. It is a short paper, only 17 pages, conversational, rather than rhetorical in style. \Ve quote the following paragraph from his opening remarks:---, First and m.ost important, we felt the necessity of impressing upon the Fraternity the conviction that Masonic influence is in direct ratio to the exercise of that influence. That, as ancient Masonry was adapted to ancient conditions, so must wOe adapt our Masonry to present day problems' and that to do this, Masonry must become an active, vital element in every community.

NECROLOGY. The Grand Master reports that no deaths among the Grand Officers or Past Grand Officers have occurred during the year, but says with regret that a larger number than usual of Past Masters of Montana Lodges "have passed beyond the vail," and makes special and sorrowful reference to several by name. He refers to the Committee on Necrology for tribute to the Fraternal Dead in sister Jurisdictions. VISITATIONS. Fifty visitations were made by the Grand Master, either in person or by representative. "With few exceptions the lodges were found to be in sound condition, financially and otherwise, the records properly kept, and the dues well colleeted." NEW LODGES. Six dispensations for new lodges were granted. MASONIC SERVICE ASSOCIATION. Of this the Gra.nd Master speaks as foHows: We are firmly convinced that the Masonic Service Association, with its 路proposed and already begun program, is the solution of the. most vital proble.ms that confront Masonry at this period.

The report of the Conlll1ittee on this Association was very favorable, recommending that Montana avail herself of th"e benefits of membership ,in every possible way. This report was favorably received by the Grand Lodge, and adopted,--in part.

GEORGE 'VASHINGTON MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION. Montana is a member of this Association. The Grand Master states that $500.00, one-half the amount subscribed in 1917, had been paid. The Grand Lodge heard later an address from M. W. Brother 'Walter L. Stockwell, in the interests of the Association, following which a resolution was adopted advising the subordinate lodges to contribute one dollar per capita to thif,i Association. "THE MONTANA MASON." This is the title of a Masonic Periodical established in the Jurisdiction during the year, and the Grand Master asks for it the support of the Brotherhood. SPECIAL DISPENSATIONS. , Of these, six were granted during the year, for the usual technical purposes. DECISIONS. The Grand Master rendered eight decisions, the Grand Lodge concp.rring in five,-disapproving three. MASONIC HOME. The efforts of the Board of Trustees to place this institution on a firm financial foundation are highly commended by the Grana Master. Provi'sion has been made for the payment of a $20,00'0.00 indebtedness, leaving the Home free of any incumbrance; an endowment of $24,322.87 is invested in securities, and the income for the year was $37,425.96, the disbursements leaving $251.09 in the treasury. 'l'he report i's enlivened by several lieautiful pictures of the Home and surroundings. It is the sense of the Grand Lodge that this institution should continue to be used, as at present, as a Home for the Aged, and that steps should be taken at once for the, erection of a separate Home for the orphans of Masons. The conclusion of the Grand Master's Address is impressive and earnest, and we are sure that our readers will enjoy the following selections from it:Make Masonry always progressively constructive; structive! Let us destroy no faith, let us attack no gospel. What matters it the denomination?

never

de-

[Sept.

God is universal, not factional. The diffe:rent forms of creed and .worship, sho"ving the transitional develoI)ment of our religious life, express the varying opinions of nlian, not of God. Think not that an august body of pompous dictators of any creed can blue pencil the Ten Com,mandments or draw chalk marks through the Mosaic law and thereby add one inch to the stature of their creed, or change by one iota the provisions of an All-wise Creator. . Rest assured that ultimately, no matter what the divel'sity. the wonderful divine plan will still stand intact and inexorable, and the Great Jehovah Himself will dictate the creed to which all men must confol'm. Let us destroy nothing, nor in Religion, 'nor in GovCl'nment that has proved of value. Let us have l)rogression; let us have new interllreta路tions,. perhal)S; but let them be given to us without destruction. He who teaches destruction of a faith, that a new one may rise from the ruins will teach that our government must be demolished to erect a better. Great teachers improve without destruction. The greatest of all te:achers said, "I am come that you may have life, not to destroy." Isn't it about time that nations, governments and municipalities began to plan their systems of rule and control along the lines laid do\\'-n by Christ? The differe,nt nations have tried many dellartures from the Mosaic law and from the Decalogue and they have failed in direct I)1'opOrtion to that departure. Why not give government by Christ's lwinciples a fail' trial? Disregard IIis divinity if you will; forget that He is the Son of God; grant only that he was a Man, a Teacher and a Statesman, then study th'e prinCil)les of associated humanity laid down by Him 'for social and governmental relations. Pay no attention to what either His own disciples or His traducers mp.y have said of Him; grant Him only the courtesy shown your other famous men; consider only the principles He, Him.self taught and you will find H,is laws, His rules of life and conduct malie all succeeding statesmanship relative.

"T\\;O INTERESTING MASONIC FAMILIES:"' In the Grand Secretary's Report we find mention of the Geiser family,-father and seven sons, all MasoHP, and all members of Butte Lodge, No. 22. "The last broth~r to join was Charles R. Geiser, raised February 7, 1921, his father and six m'others filling the principal stations durhig the. ceremony." And another family of Masonic n'ote mentioned, is that of the "Veteran Brother, Robert Vickers," 91 years of age; Brother Vickers has been a regular

FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE. The Special report of this Committee recommends, (1), that action on request for reco.gnition of the Gr~nd Lodge of Venezuela be • deferred; (2), that the request for recognition by the Grand Lodge of Mexico be not granted, the committee deeming that the Y.ork Grand Lodge of Mexico now recognized by the Montana Gra;nd Lodge to be the legitimate bo-dy in that country. (Adopted.) The fraternal Review is from the pen of our good Brother, H. S. Hepner. He reviews 67 Grand Jurisdictions in 90 pages, of which he gives Missouri one, with no comment except the following:An oration on "Better Life" was delivered by Brother H. L. Reader, but the "reader" of this volume cannot find the oration so as to read it.

The Most Wo,rshipful Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Nevada met in annual Communication in the Masonic Temple in the city of Reno, Nev., on Wednesday, June 8, 1921, at twelve o'clock, noon. A quorum of the constituent lodges being present, the Grand Lodge was opened in ample form by the Grand Master; prayer being offered by the Grand Chaplain. M. W. Bro. Walter E. Pratt, Regent of the State University, invited the members of the Grand Lodge and their families to visit the University during their stay in Reno, and presented to the Grand Lodge, in the name of Bro. WQlter E. Clark, President, large bouquets of golden irises and pink peonies. ADDRESS OF THE GRAND MASTER. This is a document of some 20 pages, coveriJ}.g the principal items connected with his administration, and setting forth the official acts of the Grand Master. From the paragraph on the "State of the Craft" we excerpt the following: It is most gratifying to be able to report so favorably of the Craft and its interest in Masonic work, and it is also most grati. fying in addition to report that the splendid activities of Masons in matters most vitally affecting the community in which they live. One can scarcely realize that this Sagebrush State is so splendidly equipped with schools of most modern construction and attractive arChitecture, well supplied with the best tools of learning and facilities for instruction. It is gratifying to know that these school districts which are most advanced are generally directed by school boards on which Masons predominate. It is a strong testimonial to the fact that the Masonic fraternity is the friend of the common and public school. And we may well be proud of the splendid accomplishments which have been obtained through the work and efforts by the people under the encouragement and direction of mem- .

bel's of our Masonic bodies. We cannot direct our attention too strongly and too zealous路ly along this line for the children of today are the citizens of tomorrow. Our institutions of government will be dependent upon them for continuance and stability which can best be insured by a liberal expenditure of our money in the education of all children in all lines of a political civic and economic and social nature. The Craft has also aligned itself unalterably on the side o'f law and order and on every occasion its members are disciples of a doctrine that we should be true to our government and just to our Country. There is a precept that it is the duty of a Mason to be a loyal citizen, always discountenancing revolution and rebellion. The 1. WI. W. and Bolshevist propaganda is abhorent to him as inimicable to our form and system of law and order.

A PLEASANT EPISODE.

At one of the sessions M. W. Bro. A. L. Fitzgerald appeared at the Altar with Bro. Henry R. M. Atkinson, Past Junior Gr'and Warden of the Grand Lodge 'of Utah, and father of our Grand Master, and felicitously presented him to the Grand Lodg'e and the Grand Master, suggesting that the Grand Master invite the father, as father and Brother, to a seat in the East. This was done, encouraged by the cheers of the Brethren. After which both father and son gave utterance of the joy and happiness that possessed them, to the delight of the Brethren,

THE GRAND SECRETARY'S REPORT.

From this we excerpt the following poem : The world has need of greatness, men who i.. ise Upon the stepping stones of Yesterday To the Tomorrow of their dl'eams and ours; The world has need of power; the powel' to build, The strength to break down barriers; to erect The g-leaming; edifice of betterment Upon the new foundation stone of faithFaith in mankind-and staunch and tender trust. The world has need of hope invincible; Of dail~' effort crowning daily prayer; The world has need of vision, ere it sees The first dawn of that fairer, noblei' sphere Rising from out the toil of sacrifice. Great is the world's need! All路 the gifts of might And power and will to conquer Destiny; Tho gifts of service, tolerance, loyalty, Of strenuous purpose and of honest toil; Of gladness and good cheer, of merry hearts, Of knightly zest and gallant bravery; But most of all the wOl'ld has need of Love.

ORATION. The Grand Orator, Bro. Ed ward A. Duc]rer of Carson City, delivered a timely address in which the follolving paragraph occurs: All tl'ue Americans must unite, and with a heart single to the safety and welfare of our Country, work together in its common cause. They must lay aside partisan differences and unite to the end that the un-Am.erican in this Country, whether active enemies, such as the Bolshevists, I. ,V. 'V. or what-nots. or路 those who furniSh aid and comfort to them, may be driven out into the open where the White light of an aroused and enlightened public Ol)inion may play Ullon them. You defeat the enemy splendidly when you drive him from secret treachery into open warfare.

Brother Merrill P, Freeman, Grand Master in 1877. In 1884 he was also elected Grand 1\1aster of Arizona, thus giving him the distinction of being Grand Master of two Jurisdictions. M.W. Brother Herman Davis, Grand Mast.er in 1912, and V. W. Brother John D. Hammond, Grand Secretary 1878-1886. Eloquent tribute is paid to these noble brethren, and the following poem, by Robert Louis Stevenson, follows their obituary: Though he that ever ,kind and true Kept stoutly step by step with you, Your whole, long', gusty lifetime through, Be gone awhile beforeBe now a moment gone before, Yet doubt not; anon the seasons shall restore Your friend to you. He has but turned a corner-still He pushes on with right good will Through mire and marsh, by heugh and hill, That self-same arduous way. That self-same upland, hopeful way That you aild he through many a doubtful day Attempted still. He is not dead, this friend-not dead, But in the path we mortals tread Got som'e few tl'ifling' steps ahead And nearer to the end.

So that you, too, once past the bend, Shall meet again, as face to face, this friend You fancy dead. Push gaily on, strong hearts; the while You travel forward, mile by mile, He loiters with a backward smile Till you can overtake路 And strains his eyes to search his wake Or, whistling as he sees you through the brake, Waits on'a stile.

THE ADDRESS OF THE GRAND MASTER opens with a brief review of the state of Freemasonry in New Hampshire in which he says: As we. look back over the year just passed can we not feel justly proud of our Masonic accomplishments? Let us review the results: We have made a net gain this year of 1,097 membel's-an increase over the preceding year of 370 members, or a total for the past two years of 1,824 net. All over our broad land men have been knocking at the doors of Masonic Lodges for admission. Many have been the rejections, but in spite of this, American b'reemasonry has advanced as never before. More and more the young and old realize the fundamental teachings of this great Order and are hastening to enlist under the banner of our Fraternity. Let us here and now l'csolve to ~tu6y and al)ply the teachings of Freemafwnry in our daily walks of life and business. Let us strive to prove to our less enlig'htened brethren, that our Spirit of Brotherly Love and Affection is not solely confined to Lodge ,'.ralls, but is part of our life, and that no matter who the individual may be or what creed he may profess, we are here to work hand in hand for the upbuilding of mankind and the glorification of "True Americanism," thus demonstrating that ,our Order is founded upon the principles of Equality and Justice. The future lies before us golden with opportunities to practice the excellent principles and teachings of our institution.

NECROLOGY. The Grand Master refers to the great loss sustained by the passing of M. W. Brother John FraJicis Webster, who was one of two men who have heen hitherto honored with the holding of every Presiding Grand Office in the Grand Jurisdiction. He also mentions the severe loss sustained through the deaths of R. Vol. Brother, Henry E. Morrell, Grand Lecturer, and Brother Henry Lyman Barnard. GEORGE WASHINGTON MEMORIAL. The Grand Master congratulates the Grand Lodge on being the first to place an assessment upon itself for this great cause, and speaks with pride of the example which is being followed by others. MASONIC SERVICE ASSOCIATION. The Grand Master refers to the third Annual Meeting of the Association held November 11, 1920, at St. Louis, and tells of his impressions concerning this institution. Resays:

Appendix.

[Sept.

"There are too many from 'Missouri'. The .only really sound objection is that of the formation of a General Grand Lodge, and if the non-member jurisdictions would only send representatives to one of these meetings they would be convinced that _the formation of such a body would be an imposRibility." That may be so, but. such Grand .Jurisdictions a路s Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Kentucky, \Vashington, Arkansas and others think dJfferently,and with great reason for so thinking.

DUAL MEMBERSHIP. On this subject the Grand Master makes a recommendation which was ultimately adopted, viz: "That a committee be appointed to investigate and report at the next annual communication on the advisahility of adopting a system of dual membership." This is what the Grand Master has to sayan the matter: I desire to call your attention to the consideration of dual membership, which you will find has been recommended by me. The time is at hand when we should do all in our power to promote the interests of Freemasonry. I am convinced that dual membership is a step in the right direction, and am unable to' understand where there can be serious results from adopting the same. I am aware that the best versed Mason in New Hampshire is not in accord with my views upon this subject; I refer to M. "V. Brother Cheney, but he has not been able to convince me that it is not a desirable amendment to our Constitution. Brothers from our state go abroad in the world. Brothers from other jurisdictions come. to us. They setlle in our state and desire to take part in our proceedings. Their home Lodge is dear to them with its associations, and they will not give up their affiliation therein. They do desire to he helpful in the community where they reside Masonically, but not being members of the Lodge, hesitate to be active as they might were they a member of a particular Lodge. They are an aid both morally and financially, and I am sincere in my belief that general dual membership between all Lodges would be of great Masonic advantage. The reverse situation applies to our Brethren taking up their residence. in other states. I do not believe in the dual idea by members within the state, .that is, permitting a member to belong to more than one Lodge within our state. I hope that. my recommendation will b.e adopted to appoint a committee to investigate and report at the next session of the GI'and Lodge.

will work out is yet to be seen, but, without anticipating events,

we think there will be 'oposition' to say the least, to such a departure. We can 'understand' the raison d'eLl'\?, for dua, membership within the bounds of a given jurisdiction, but not as above proposed. "We shall wait developments. RECOMMENDATIONS.

Among those adopted are the following: "Every Master be required to certify to the Grand Master that he has read the Grand Constitution at least once before he can be installed as Master of a particular lodge. "Every applicant for the degrees to deposit a check for ten dollars in addition to his fee, this to be tUl'I1ed over to the Masonic Home." The same to apply also to applications for affiliation from brethren coming from another Jurisdiction. "That every lodge in the Jurisdiction oJ)f:;erve November 4 each year as the Masonic Birthday of George 'Washington." ,FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE.

NECROLOGY, The Grand Master says: "Thanks to a gracious Providence our official ranks in the Grand Lodge have happily remair,ed unbroken, although Our subordinate lodges and sister jurisdicions have been sorely affected." DISCIPLINE, Of this the Grand Master says: In the matter of discipline, the necessity for its exercise, this year, by the Grand Master has been most infrequent, much to his satisfaction and the relief and happiness of the Craft. There were a few instances where the great power of the Grand Master might have been exercised, but after a full investigation in each case and due" consideration given, the Grand Master is convinced that a little "fatherly advice" has had the proper effect.

MASONIC HOME. This Institution is in a flourishing condition as evidenced by the following paragraph from the Grand Master's Address. The affairs of our Masonic Home are in a prosperous and satisfactory condition, as will be shown by the detailed report of the eomm,ittee in charge, and which will be presented to you later in this session. The report will give information which I am sure will be very pleasing. Thanks to your generosity at the last session of the Grand Lodge and in obedience to your mandates, as expressed year after year since 1914, your committee has been enabled to devi8e pl::>.ns and has awa.rded a contract for the enlargement of the Home proper and erection of a moderr\. up-to-dat.e hospit.al, thus enabling your committee to care for all grades and conditions, barring infectious and communicable diseases, in a way that will be a credit to the Craft of the. State and the honor and glory of this Grand Lodge, and brethren, this is to be accomplished from our own funds. It will not be necessary to ask the Grand Lodge for a single dollar.

PHYSICAL DEFECTS. One of the conspicious after effects of the war is the number of requests that come to the Grand Master for the letting down of the bars. Read this: During the year about to close I have received from Lodges to pass upon 270 cases of visible physical defects. I have endeavored to exercise a sound discretion, tempel'ed with liberalit~'. I have waived 244, refused 16, and there are 10 pending.

SCHILLER LODGE. The Grand Master, dealing with tbis matter, wbich was referred. to in our last year's report, says: During the month of March I received a communication signed by a majority of the members. Following its receipt I have had conferences with the more prominent of the signers with the ultimate thought that I might see my way clear to restore the warrant and thus permit the Lodge to again function. As a result of these Interviews, I am reluctantly forced to report I could not get that whole-hearted assurance that, if the warrant was restored, there would not be a repetition of the offences leading to its arrest. I, therefore, recomm,end that the subject of the warrant of Schiller Lodge be referred to a committee, to determine and report with their recommendations at this session of the Grand Lodge.

The Grand Lodge appointed a Special Committee to prefer charges against Schiller Lodge for insubordination, etc. In concluding his address, the Grand Master speaks in terms' filled with lofty sentiment, and we cannot refrain from quoting the following: 'Vho can plan his life clear through to the end and keep to the plan. A thousand interruptions, unforeseen, deflect a schedule, 'Ve dwell in a peopled universe, not a solitude. 'Ve cannot live to ourselves alone. To be a recluse is to realize but a part of the glorious scheme of our being. "Go ye out into all the. world." There must IHl the contact of human fellowship, instant and constant, or. we become abnormal. Since we live In a world whose ways we can only â&#x20AC;˘ Influence in a tiny area round about us as we go; we arc measurably bound to use its clocks and watches, tl'avel by its trains and vehicles, Hpeak its various languages, follow the customs of the place we come to, take the tune of its music and weRr the fashion '" it imposes. We have our niche and our groove to move in. A great original fOI'ce, a challenging genius, a salient personality now and then comes on the scene, rebels, and, according to its power, effects some alteration. The crowd i~ ever looking for a leader, . When he ari~es it obeys. Even he, if he i~ to he a sane and wise commander, is obedient to a higher law. "Save he serve, no man may rule." 1'he true independence is inter-dependence. The noblest life is the life of service. Only the selfish man says: I will lead my own life; 1 will be my own rhaster; I will listen to none. The strong one is the readiest of all to shape his course by counsel, to listen to wise voices, to abandon a program that promises only a selfish and private advantage. He has a pUt'pose, b'ut his purpose i~ not condi\ tional on living to grow old or on dying' young, He means to live intensely all his time on earth and to do his duty by each day as it comes.

From the

There can be no question that the Masonic Fraternity throughout the Nation has made during the last few years and is still making a signal advance, its popularity is still it the peak of progress, m,en, notably young men, arc still clam.oring for admission and there is every assurance that the men of the Craft in uncounted numbel's are catching the vision of the useful part our institution may play in the constructive life of the world and with determined zeal are striving intelligently and wisely to make that vision a constant and ceaseless reality. Great and wonderful as has heen the record made, the golden day of unlimited oPPolÂˇtunity is before us for reaching heights of .attainment undreamed of ever before. The I)Oet who, in the ancient past,. coined the word opportunity took it from two Latin words, "op" and "portus," meaning "towards' the harbor."

Let no Mason fail to catch the vision, let no Mason neglect his privilege to grasp the opportunity at his hand, let each Mason with unwavering decision and with firm faith and hope J)l'ess forward towards the mark of his high callin~.

THE FRATERNAL DEAp.

'fhe Grand Master makes tender l;eference to those who have been translated to the Celestial Grand Lodge during the year. Among these, he specially refers to the late M:. W. Brother Wm. Sherer, the oldest Past' Grand Master of the Grand Jurisdiction, and its long-time Grand Correspondent. Of him the Grand Master says: Our chief impression of him is that he was indeed a Mason, a true believer in his beloved Order,! in its humane principles, in its love of justice and compassion, in its scorn of oppression,' narrowness and bigotry. The benevolence it inculcated he incarnated. The doctrines it heralded he exemplified in deeds. Whatever his qnalms and doubts may have been, they were long since gone. Tht difficulties which so often attend a large and liberal faith he had met and mastered. The vexed and intricate problems of life had ceased to throw a single shadow on his assurance of another and an invisible realm, in which conscience was crowned, to '''lhich duty was the passport. He held his trust in a certain large simplicity, but with absolute conviction. He dwelt in the positive, and was illuminated by ideals ,,,-hich he had verified by lwactice. The leading ideas on ~hich his soul was nourished and which he transmitted to his cornrades in the strife for betterment were untouched by skepticism.; hence in him there were no wastes, no leakages of power. All he was concentrated in the light路 of a radiant m.anhood and of a mellowed golden age. No gradual decline of heart or hope threatened his usefulness. He shone steadily, not intermittently; he shone to the end; and he now shines forever. Let. us be thankful that he was OUI'R for an extended period; that In losing our best and most beloved member, we do not have to chafe .and repine because his sun went down at noontide. On the contrary, he l'esembled a perfect day, from dewy dawn to fruitful meridian, and on to glowing sunset behind some distant peak which still flings its reflected splendor across the western horizon. The memory of the just is blessed. Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright, for the ead of that man is peace. I am in the presence of men who rejoiced in his life and his victorieR more than in their own; who in many a heavy hour to come will recall the face which llsedto lift the cloud, the voice that thrilled us with its patient, optimistic wisdom, the directing word which silenced our confusion and led us out of the morass and on to the Rocle

Brother Sherer was a native of the Old South, born in Brandenburg, KentucliY, and another example of those who went forth to live a larger life of usefulness amid the wider opportunities provided in this great Republic. CEREMONIES. The Grand Master gives a detailed list of many pleasant occa路 sions which have been graced by his presence, and quotes the remark made by a lady at the close of the corner-stone laying' of the Memorial Hospital, as follows: "I never knew before today that a Masonic ceremony was so sacred." MASONIC HOME AT UTICA. In spealdng in eloquent terms of this institution the Grand Master mal:;:es reference to the splendid gift of the Scottish Rite Brethren of a cottage for "a dwelling fOt the older girls, herein to learn the practical duties of housekeeping and housewifery." This is as it should be. There should he the closest co-ordination between the York and Scottish Rite Brethren in all things pertaining to our Masonic Charities. GEORGE WASHINGTON

The Grand Master makes a special appeal for this, and without doubt, the Empire State Masons will be "heard from" on this matter. FLAG DAY. No one better than the citizens of the Empire State lmows the value of true patriotism, and it is pleasing to note that the Grand Lodge of New Yorl{ is well to the front in leading the sentiments ot 0111' people toward the maintenance of our Govei'nmental institutions. The' observance of Flag Day is a potent influence toward this. MAINTENANCE FUND. The maintaining of the great Hospital which our Brethren of New York have just completed is the next thing to engage_ their attention. And the job is no small one. Bllt, there are more than 270,000 Freemasons in the Grand Jurisdiction, and there will he no lack in the response to this task.

MASONIC PERIODICAL. A sign of the times is seen in the following: The 'Craft is moving forwal路d. A new vision of its OI)l)Qrtunities is beckoning us to aml)ler service and achievement. The need is for leaders who will help us translate our teachings into action, leaders who will stir our minds and hearts to work in unison one with the other, leaders who will point the way to the best that the Fraternity can do for the gTeater good of our fellowmen. Whel'e shall we look for them? The body of the Craft must bring them forth. They m,ust be flesh of our flesh, and Sl)irit of our spirit, aftame with an inspired zeal for our ideals. vVe need them, and we shall have them if we resolve steadfastly to spread among our Brethren a broader and deeper understanding' of the eternal verities of Freen1asonry. The Lodge can do much to imbue its members with the .spirit of our brotherhood. Yet there are many whom it does not and cannot by its own efforts draw and keep within the scope of its influence. A more effective, larger instrumentaltiy is requil'ed to cultfvate the fallow ground and make this yield a rich harvest. 'Vc need an inspiring Masonic pel'iodical that ,Will reach every brother of the Craft and appeal to him month after month with soulstirr.ing messages to help the Fraternity achieve its mission in the ""-0 rId. The wish that the Grand Lodge might publish such a periodical has been voiced with increasing insistence during the year. The example of other organizations has demonstrated that sueh a medium of intercommunication tends to strengthen their membership in loyalty and devotion of their common purpose. The time has come 'for US to act.

NATIONAL EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM. The, Grand Lodge of New York is alive to the importance of National路 Education. Read this: Much, for instance, is being said about the alleged centralizing tendency of the Towner-Sterling' bill and the danger that federal aid will lead to federal control of education. This argument is just a smoke screen. The language of this bill expressly eliminates any possibility of federal control. No intelligent person who has read the bill can use this argument with sii1cerity. This is a. mere man of straw. The usual arguments ag'ainst this program on economic grounds are nearly as baseless, The principle of federal aid does, of course, mean that the more populous and wealthy states con tribute to assist those less favored than themselves. This objection, however, applies equally to all taxes levied for the comlnon good. By the same token, 'we ought to scrap our navy because New York contributes more to its maintenance in proportion to population than Mississippi. This objection is narrow, sectional, and selfish. It is directly contrary to the Masonic teachings of brotherhood, universal enlighten'ment, and relief.

After the mask has been stripped off, there remains only the naked truth that there are those who do not want to have the American public schools ,strengthened. Nothing can prevent an alignment being had on this issue and, when that alignment comes, somewhere around J)inety per cent of the pOllulation is going to be on the side of enlightenment and progress. If Am:erican Freemasonry is true to the principles of George路路Washington, Benjamin Franklin, De,Vitt Clinton, Theodore Roosevelt and countless others of its greatest leaders, there can be no question as to the side upon which our brethren of the Craft will stand.

MASONIC SERVICE ASSOCIATION.

Of this the Grand Master says: The experimental stage in the Association life seems past. As soon as the permanent plan is settled, the expenses should be very materially diminished. New York alread~' has suggested plans for re-financing, which will materially lessen its commitments and at the same time not cripple the services of the Association to the Craft. It is my sugg-estion that the question of New York's relationship to the Association, after the annual meeting thereof in November next, be left to the discretion of the Grand Master, with the understanding, of course, that New York's commitm,ent will not be increased -over its present per capita obligation. The need for co-operation between the Masonic Jurisdictions of the United States needs no advocacy. Our sad eX!1eriences in the past settle that matter beyond dispute. In its strellgth, New York must do its full share for the benefit of Masonry, particularly in those sections which are not as fortunate as are we. Greatness canies with it obligations and responsibilities!

New York is interested in this, and sent representatives. But, as yet, it is too early to forecast the ontcom.e. "'Vhile 'Union' is 'in the air'-yet it is 'not on the earth.''' SOLDIERS' AND SAILORS' MEMORIAL HOSPITAL.

Beyond doubt, the great event of the year, masonically speaking -in New Yor}\: State, was the opening and路 dedication of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Masonic Memorial Hospital, at Utica. This took place on April 22, 1922, with elaborate and befitting ceremonies. It is New York's Memorial to the 'boys' who served so loyally in the Great War.

The Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge of New Zealand sends out a fine Annual, which is the more interesting for including impressive pictures of a number of the Grand Officers. The order of business of this Grand Lodge differs materially from that of most of the other Grand Lodges, the election of officers taking place immediately after the reading of the minutes of the previous session, while their installation takes place at the last sitting, the Grand Master's Address being the last order of business. The Obligation, Investiture, and Enthronement of the Grand Master is accomplished with much iinpressive pomp and ceremony.

The Board of Benevolence reported that the sum of 6,181 pounds, 4 shillings, and 4 pence had been spent in assistance and the relief of distress, and commended the generusity of the Lodges. The Annuity Board <;>f Management of the Widows' and Orphans' and Aged Masons'路 Fund, and the Special (War) Benevolent Fund report the capital value of the Fund to be 47,267 pounds, 3 shillings, 5 pence; annuities paid during the year, 1,916 pounds, 13 shillings, 8 pence,-to a total of 61 annuitants.'

VISITATIONS.

The Grand Master made forty Official Visitations, and speaks of the great pleasure received from the hORpitality of .the Lodges, and the evident fact that Masonry was being recruited in that Jurisdiction from the best of the manhood in the sev8ral localities visited. PAST GRAND RAl\IIC On this subject the Grand Master speaks with feeling, and sug路 gests that the Board of General Purposes bring before the Grand Lodge the question of granting Past Grand Honors to deserving Brethren "in the sere and yellow leaf," who had been active in the work, but had been overlooked and passed by at time of conferring Grand Lodge Honors. This question was taken up and discussed by the Gra.nd Lodge and finally referred to Board above mentioned for recommendation by the Grand Master.

LODGES OF RESEARCH.

The Grand Master refers to the fact that he has devoted a good , .. ' I ' , ' , deal of time to the study of the antiquity of the teachings of the Maso~ic Frate~nity, and strongly commends the work of the Lodges

Our readers will enjoy his concluding paragraphs,

which we quote:Before drawing to a close let me refer to the valuable, interesting, and instructive work being carried on by our LODGES OF RESEARCH, where pape'rs aloe read, lectures given and questions discussed on subjects of Masonic concern lying' outside the routine of Lodge . work. The meetings of these Lodges are at all times greatly appreciated by the members and visiting brethren, many of these lectures and ...papers being of a very high order, shQwing careful study and thoughtful investigation into subjects that attract the speculation of every earnest student of Freemasonry. Brethren are aware that I have devoted a deal of study to the antiquity of the teachings of this great frater'nity we are all so proud to be connected with. I have taken the opportunity in our Lod'ges of Research to speak on the striking similarity there exists in our ritual and ceremonial of to-day with what obtained in the religions and mysterie~ practiced on the banks of the Nile and the plains of Chaldea thousands of years ago. Writers have shown that these fraternities have come down the procession of the centul'ies in an unbroken line from Egypt, Persia, Phoenicia, Palestine, Greece, Rome, Mediaeval Europe, and the Motherland; always teaching" the highest and purest morality, veiled in allegory and i.llustrated by symbol-the .underlying motif from the earliest times being the Fatherhood of God, the Brotherhood of Man; and the Immortality of the Soul. A select society of chosen men who, in times when nation looked upon natio~ with suspicion, distrust, and even hatred, met and practiced these high ideals, irrespective of race or color or creed; a companionship powerfUl enough to break down the exclusiveness of the Egyptt'an priesthood and the jealous pigotry of the Jewish Theocracy-into the sacred mysteries of the one Herodotus and Plato and Plutarch were admitted路 "as initiates; into the most sacred places of the other Solomon the great king received those eminent Phoenicians, King Hiram, Hiram Abif, and Adoniram. And so to-day we find wherever civilization extends this great brotherhood of ours with its ever-increasing membership, using its influence and its authority in preaking down the barriers of national arrogance and social rank and class that' keep men apart, by fostering all that is good and noble and elevating in humanity. Vve in this land of ours are only bringing about what every Grand Lodge with its millions of adherents in Europe, America, and Australia are eminently 'setting themselves to accomplish-preaching and practicing toleration, bearing the burdens of the unfortunate, cheering the despondent, alleviating the distress of the sicl<, the aged. the wido\\!, and the orphan; setting befol'e every individual member his dut.y to his God, his country, and his fello\v-man, to 'wall\: uprightly and deal honorably by all men. Is it too much for us to spec'ulate on the future of Freemasonry?in the present age, when religions with theil' thousand "isms" seem to be losing their grip on the masses; when many openly profess

their contem;pt for God, for country, and for all that makes society pure and moral, and governm.ent secure and stable? May there not be a great future for Freemasonry, with its hum,anitarium' teachings and its toleration reaching out and taking in all religions, be they Christian, Jew, Moslem, Buddhist, or Brahmin. May not this great universal religion of ours-for it is a religion, with the great路 fundamental; the Fatherhood of the Great Architect-may it not in the near future be the means of uniting every nation and creed and class and color, for be assured that then and then only will come the time predicted by our brother the great Scottish genius"When man to man the world o'er Will brothers be, and a' that."

THE ADDRESS OF THE GRAND MASTER. This is a worthy document 路of small compass, setting forth the chief incidents that.. have m(i,rked his year of office. Speaking of EDUCATION the Grand Master says: "I have tried to emphasize the work of education in my letters, and as far as I can ascertain a number of the lodges have. taken up the' Educational Programme." The Grand Lodge of North Carolina is fortunate in having two such enthusiastic and well-equipped men as Dr. J. C. Braswell and Job Taylor to enterprise the work of Masonic Education, and Freemasonry in the Old North State will be greatly benefitted by their work. A PLEASANT OCCASION. The Grand Master says: attended a joint meeting of Masonic Lodges at Charlotte, at which every office in the Lodge was tilled by an employe of 'the Southern Railroad. The degree was conferred upon an employe of the Southern Railroad, and the guest of honor was Brother Fairfax Harrison, President of the Southern Railroad. This was a most unique affair and a most pleasant occasion. There were between five and 8ix hundred present and an elaborate banquet was served and talks made by a Past Grand Master of the District of Columbia, a Past Grand Master of South Carolina, a Past. GI'and Master of Georgia and Past Grand' Master Norfleet, of North Carolina, and Brother Fairfax Harrison, President of the Southern Railroad. I wish to thank the brethren at all of these places for the very kind and courteous treatment of me and to assure them of my appreciation of the many courtesies shown me. I

THE OXFORD ORPHAN ASYLUM. Alluding to this, the Grand Master observes: This noble charity still challenges the admiration of the State, furnishing as it does food, clothes, homes and a splendid education for 394 of the orphans of our State. About 75 per cent of the orphans are children of non-Masons, which shows another evidence of the breadth of our Masonic charity. I commend this great charity to the fraternity and ask the Finance' Committee to make to this' great work as large an appr'opriation as they possibly can,

The Grand Secretary calls attention to a serious evil under the caption of _ BOOK MASONRY. He says: Notwithstanding that regulation 28 of the Code states that, "Any Lodge or member using improper bool~s will be pI'oceeded against by the Grand Lodge or have its charter arrested, or the Brother expelled for so doing." I am satisfied that there is' a great deal of so-called Book Masonry in North Carolina. Rumor of its use is constantly being heard. It is hard to get evidence of the actual fact, but this law has been on the statute book of the Grand Lodge for seven years. If there has ever been anyone convicted and punished under the I a",", I am not aware of it. I presume that use of these books will continue until evidence is obtained and some Lodge or member convicted and punished.

SOME ORATORICAL GillMS. The Proceedings this year are unusually rich in the number of' 'Orations' which have been delivered on various special occasions, as well as within the precincts of the tylerl Grand Lodge. These . indicate at once the demand for and popularity of a higher understanding of the principles of our great fraternity, and are also indicative of the willingness of brethren t.o assist in the all-important work of deseminating Masonic Instruction. \Ve wish that our s~ace would permit of extensive quotat.ion from ~everal of the addresses above referred to. TOWNER-STERLING BILL. This Bill, 110W so well known, received the endorsement of the Grand Lodge, but not unt.il Past Grand Mnster Hackett 'expressed his 'sentiment'. Of course his路 brethren could 'understand' him, and many of them, nay all, could 'sympathize' with him in the stand he felt compelled to tal{e. But, 1861-1865 are a long way back in the procession of the years, and the' future has some better thing for the sons of men,-better even than the never-to-be-forgotten glory of the 'Old Sou th'.

DISTINGUISHED GUESTS. The M. W. Grand Master, J. D. B. F. McKenzie, of the Grand Lodge of New Brunswick, and his officers, were announced and introduced by M. W. Bros. Chas. R. SmJth, and John Hay, Past Grand Masters, and warmly welcomed by the Grand Master, as follows: Most Worshipful Grand Master MacKenzie:--J I have the greatest of pleasure in welcoming you to this annual communication'. We in Nova Scotia have an intense interest in the craft of New Brunswick, remembering as we do the close association of some of the Lodges of both provinces when under the jurisdictioJi of England. We are cognizant of events leading up to your establishment as a Grand Body, and of splendid harmonious proceedings in 1867 which culm,inated in the establishment of the sovereign Grand Lodge of the Ancient and Honorable Fraternity of Free and Accepted Masons of New Brunswick, on January 22nd, 1868, in the City of St. John. .We are familiar with the splendid work of your Grand Lodge and of able men who have conducted its affairs for over fifty years, who are so worthily represented here today by you, Most Worshipful Grand Master, and your accompanying brethren. On behalf of the brethren of Nova Scotia, I, as their Grand Master, tender you our heartiest greetings and beg of you to accept our good will and venture the hope that your stay among us will be profItable, enjoyable to you as I know it will be to us, for the greater glory of God 'and the Craft of Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons in these provinces by the sea. .

DIVINE SERVICE. After the reception of the distinguished visitors the Grand Master ordered the Grand Lodge to be formed in procession under the direction of R. W. Brother A. K. Van Horne, Grand Director of Ceremonies, and march to the Holy T.ririity Church, where divine service was held at eleven o'clock a. m., and a sermon was preached by R. W. Brother Rev. William Driffield. At the conclusion of the service the procession was reformed, and the Grand Lodge returned to its place of meeting. THE GRAND 'MASTIDR'S ADDRESS.

in June, and in the beautifuf" town of Digby. Digby, nestled on the southern shores of the historic Annapolis basin, offers an opportunity of linking ourselves with the early history of our province and of Freemasonry. It will not be difficult for any of us in imagination. as we gaze through the famous Digby Gut. to picture to ourselves the sails of the ships of the intrepid voyageur Pierre Du Gast Sieur De Monts, and his com,panion Samuel De Champlain who, over three hundred- years ago, founded on the north eastern end of the basip the famous Port Royal, the first white settlement in the North American continent. We have no certain evidence of any Masonic history aD\ong the French settlers, although tradition has intimated that the Royal Art crossed the Atlantic with the first emigrants. and was known in Nova Scotia while this province was in the hands of the French. We do IOlOW that a Lodge, regularly chartered, existed in Annapolis Royal in 1738 and i'n Digby in 1784. There were, as one would naturally expect, the ups and downs, with broken records, consequent upon a young' and sparsely settled country. But the lamp of Freemasonry continued to glow, and a sure and firm foundation was established when in 1870 the Lodge King Solomon No. 54, whose invitation caused us to meet here, was chartered' by the Grand Lodge of Nova Scotia.

The Grand Master makes sympathetic reference to the Fraternal Dead, and also to the excellent work done at the Masonic Home by those in charge of that institution. He gives an illuminating report of his "Visitations," and rejoices in the general prosperity which is being enjoyed by the _Grand .Jurisdiction. DElCISIONS. The GrandÂˇ Master calls attention to the large number of questions that Were put before him for decision, very many ot which could have been answered by a reference to the Constitution. This causes the Grand Master to remark upon the comparatively few lodges in the Jurisdiction which possess a complete file of the Proceedings, and the consequent necessity of referring to the Grand Master for almost everything. EASTERN STAR. The "Star" seems to be a luatter of perplexity in Nova Scotia as well as in some other Jurisdictions. We excerpt this from the Grand Master's Addres~, but do not find any action recorded as being taken by the Grand Lodge: You will note the question again asked re-Establishment of Order of Eastern Star, and I am advised that a chapter of the order has

been instituted in Annapolis Royal. The pronouncements have up to this time always been ag'ainst tile creation of feminine bodies, and while Grand Lodge has no jurisdiction, theoretically, over '0. E. S., it has jUl'isdiction over other members of SUbol'dinate lodge in their connection with any other bod~". Its membership in~ludes men, whose qualifications are that they must be Master Masons in g'ood standing and I am advised (I do not know how correctly) that it iR necessary that Mast.er Masons be preRent. In order to clarify the ~ituation, it might be well for Grand Lodge at this time to make some l)l'onouncen.lent on the subject.

REPORT OF THE GRAND HISTORIAN. The report of the Grand Historian is of great value, and indicates ...the feeling of the Grand Lodge in regard to the perpetuation of those things which ought of necessity' to be })roperly preserved.

Missouri does not, for some reason, appear in the list, Due in all probability to the lat.eness of路 arrival of our Proceedings. In his foreword, Brother Jones has the following: During the sevel'al years it has been our l)rivilege to review the Proceedings of Sister Grand Lodges, we have come across many criticisms of the custom of the Grand Lodge of Noya Scotia or holding Divine. Service at the opening of our Annual Communications, pl'incipally owing to the fact that Freemasons are mem.bers of various "sects or denominations", In reply to these criticisms we would respcctfull:-: point out that we experience no difficulty in cro\vding the church "to the doors" wheI'ever this service is held and why should this not be the case, for do we not teach the "Initiate" that before entering upon any great or lawful undertaking that he should first invol,e thc Aid of Deity. Surely then, with the Holy Bible as our guide, and with the Hymn Bool, of any special denomination, sufficient ean he found to frame an attractive service to which all members of the Cl'aft can subscl'ibe.

The Grand Master speaks words of wisdom on this subject, and we quote him in full:I find a general laxity throughout this Grand Jurisdiction in the matter of the business concern~ of the Lodge. A large portion of our members do not seem to be aware of the -fact that the business of a Lodge is just as secret as its ritualistic work, especially so with reference to the ballot, which is one of its most sacred institutions. It is not given to all men to be honored by becoming members, bu t Masonry does not contemplate placing Ul)Ql~ such men a mark of character in the community in which they live. Greater effort should be made to correct this condition. Masters should familiarize themselves with the Ancient Charges and the Code, and onl~" such information disseminated as will tend to build up a high regard for the obligations and law of Masonry.

PROTECTION OF ANCIENT CRAFT MASONRY. As is in many other Jurisdictions, this question seems to be ca'using uneasiness among our Ohio Brethren. The Grand Master recomrnends fixing a time to elapse between conferring the degress, and the making it a Masonic offense to solicit. or recommend a Master Mason for a ~o-called Higher Degree, for a period of not less than three months after he has passed a satisfactory examination in the Master Mason Degree. (Not approved by the Commit路 tee on .Jurisprudence, which, however, did approvE' the Grand Master's recommendation that each Master Mason be required to pass an examination on the lecture of the degree Within two months after his obligation, etc.) NATURALIZED CITIZEN. The Grand Master recommends that th~ Code be so changed that none but a naturalized citizen who can speak and read the English language may make application to a subordinate Lodge, unless the Grand Master, after full investigation, gives permission. (Approved, in part, the committee finding a familiarity with the English Language, but not citizenship,-n~cessarily,-a pre-requisite.) AN INTERES'fING FACT.

Speaking of the many noted Masons of Ohio, the Grand Master mentions the name of that "exile for Liberty's sake," Louis Kossuth, a photograph of whose application to Cincinnati Lodge,

No. 133, is revroduced in the report; this application bears date of February 18, 1852, and states that路 the said Louis Kossuth "has u'o fixed place of residence", that his age is 49 1-2 years, and his occnpation is to "restore his native land, Hungary, to its native independence, and to achieve******political <lnd religious liberty in Europe."

GEORGE \VASHINGTON MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION. . The Grand Lodge adopted the report of the Committee, which recommended that "this matter be postponed until the question of the incorporation of the Association has bf'en settled, and the relation and liabilities' of a Grand Lodge wbich becomes an active member of the Association has become clear and definite."

QUEENSLAND AND MEXICO. The Grand Lodge recognizes the UnitedG!'and Lodge of Queensland, and defers action on the recogniion of either of the Grand Lodges of Mexico llntil further investigaticn be made.

Appendix.

[Sept.

DELEGATES AND THE GRAND LODGE. The Grand Master touches upon this subject in the following words, which are timely: Members generally are not familiar with the proceedings of the' Grand Lodge. Many of them apparently have no conception of tl}e Grand Lodge and the relatIon of the constituent Lodges thereto. But, after all, this is not difficult to account for. Each Lodge may 'have in its library a single copy of the proceedings, but it is seldom, if ever, used. While representative delegates attend the Communications of the Grand Lodge, it has not been the custom, so far as known, for such representatives upon their return to m,ake any report, either writte'n or oral. 路Such a report, however, should be renaered, covering at least the larger or more important questions of interest, that the members. generally rna}" have a more comprehensive understanding of the organization and work of the Grand Lodge and of their responsibility in connection therewith. At the outset, the fact should be stressed that the delegates to the Grand Lodge are official representatives of their -respective Lodges, and occupy a position of great responsibility. That understanding may be had of all matters before the Grand Lodge, it is necessary that delegates be present throughout the entire session. The spirit of harmony and good-will should prevail. It may be assumed that all are conscious of their responsibility, sincerely desiring only that 'which will best promote the interests of the craft. In matters of detail there may be differences of opi路nion, but on the larger questions of policy, general agreement should not be difficult. If, in all our deliberations, we may be actuated by the true Masonic spirit, when we return to OUI' respective Lodges and render an account of ou~ stewardship, there will be both the consciousness and the satisfaction of having done our full duty.

MASONIC EDUCATION. On this matter the Grand Master rings clear, and in closing this part of his address he says: To accomplish thc desired results, in securing accuracy and thoroughness in the ritualistic work, and at the same time afford opportunity for an understanding study of Masonic prin<;iples, it is necessary, in my o!)inion, that every Lodge in the Grand Jurisdiction should be visited at least once a year either by the Grand Master or by his official representatives; and, in addition, that special lecturers, or -others qualified for this particular kind of work, should be selected to prepare special lectures on Fre.emasonry to be delivered on occasion to different Lodges throughout the Jurisdiction. In some. cases district meetings might be held to advantage ,.... ith representatives present from different Lodges conveniently located. Splendid material for such work may bc found in different Masonic publications, particularly in the bulletins i~sued by the Masonic Service Association of the United States.

MISCELLANEOUS. The Grand Master rendered 57 Decisions, grant8d 61 Special Dispensations, granted 10 requests from other jurisdictions for the conferring of degrees, and made 63 request.s on other Grand Juris. dictions for similar courtesies. MASONIC HOME. The Grand Jur:isdiction of Oregon is facing the problem of erecting a Masonic Home, and has had somE:' diffiCult corners to 'negotiate'. Beginning in 1917, the work has continued under the varying conditions incident to the times, and now bids fair to be completed. But the task has been one that will long be remembered by those who have had the responsibility of piloting it. TOWNER-STERLING HILL. A strong; resolution in favor of public education as provided in . the bill was adopted by the Grand Lodge by a .rising vote. FINANCE. The Grand Master reports the Finances of the Grand Lodge in excellent shape. CLOSING. The Grand Master closes his address with this worthy para路 graph: May we approach the work of this Communication with full consciousness of the great responsibilities resting upon us. Conditions obtaining at' the present time are such as to afford exception,al opportunity for service of the highest irnp\lrtance by rriembel'S of the Masonic Order. "The world's great heart is throbbing with the spirit of unrest, We hear the cry that welleth Ul) from the peoples long oppressed, 'Ve see the rule of Mammon and the grasping- hand of greed, The travesties of justice and the toiler's bitter need. The striving for the mastery, the ever present fear, With nation watching' nation and the war clouds hovering near. And the question ever riseth as portentous signs we trace, What will the final outcome be, and what the saving gTace? And Masonry makes answer with its never chang'ing planThe Fatherhood of God, the Brotherhood of Man,"

Grand Master, and in the spirit of the most excellent report which we have heard from our Most Vlorshipful Grand Master, I have prepared a half dozen lines which I want to read to you at this time, with your permission: Resolved, That the M. W. Grand Lodge, A. F, and A. M., or Oreg'on, on its Seventy-first Annual Communication, representing about twenty-three thousand Masons in the State of Oregon, heartily congTatulates Admiral Sims, of the United States Navy, on his London speech, and rejoices that there is one man in imblic life who does not hesitate to voice the great truth, that there is no place in this country for any but 100 per cent Americans; and, Re It Further Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to Admiral Sims and to each member of the Orego'n delegation in the United States Congress.

My Brethren, remember the assassination of the one and only daughter of the head of the Masonic Fraternity in the North of Ireland. These are the men who are trying to intimidate and override us and contl'ol our business in the United St.ates. I move you Most Worshipful Sir, that the resolution be adopted. A Voice: I second the motion. M. Grand Master Kerr: You have heard the m.otion. Are there any remarks? Those who are in favor of the motion, that t.he resolution as submitted b~ adopted, manifest it by the usual voting sign of a Mason. If there are any opposed, in the same manner. The motion is unanimously carried, adopting the resolution. (Applause.)

GRAND CHAPLAIN HONORED.

The following resolution was unanimously adopted : Whereas, Grand Chaplain Bell has served this Grand Lodge faithfully and well for many years; therefore, be it Resolved, That this Grand Lodge appropriate the sum of $250 [or his services during the past year, and also a sufficient sum to pay the entire expense of himself and wife during his stay in Portland, including railroad fare of both to and from their home in Corvallis.

HONORARY PAST GRAND MASTER.

One of the most conspicious figures of the ~rand Lodge of OregOll for years has been the Rev. J. R. N. Bell,who, for forty-five years has served as Grand Chaplain, and has won the confidence and est.eem of the entire Brotherho09-. The fot'lowing is so unusual in America that we quote the proceedings in full: M.路 W. Brother Frank J. Miller, Past Grand Master, being recognized, said in part as follows: "May I be permitted. to interrupt these proceedings for just a mom,ent? The im,posing ceremony which we have just w itnesscd of the retiring from our 'midst of the Grand Old Man who has been Grand Chaplain of this Grand Jurisdiction for forty-four years and who now enters upon his fort~'-fifth year, has so impressed me that I feel it incumbent upon me to ask this question, "Vould it not be possible for this Grand Lodge to honor itself and confer upon Brother Bell, the honorary degree of Past Grand Master?' It has been done. I wonder if it could not be done again by the wish of the Grand Lodge. I know that there is no statutory provision for this. I am also aware that there is no inhibition. It would be a most fitting honor. It would be a most fitting- climax. I believe I speak advisedly ,,,hen I use that word-the Most Honorable Chaplain of this Grand Lodge deserves the honor. I move you now if I may be perm,itted that we do p-l:oceed to confer upon Brother Bell the honorary degr~e of Past Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Oregon." M. W. Bro. W. G. Shellenbarger, Past Grand Master: "I am pl'eased to second the motion." 1\1. "V. Grand Master Baillie: "This is a most unusual request and a most unusual action. If I felt sure of the legality of this act it would go to the body of this Grand Lodge with the greatest of pleasure on my part. If the authority of this Grand Lodge is supreme in itself, I cannot see any reason why this motion is not in order. I will propose this motion to you and place it before you for discussion. All those in favor of conferring upon our beloved Cha.plain, Bell, the honorary title of Past Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Oregon, make it known by saying Aye."

Bro. Walter O. Haines, Past Master: "May I quote just one precedent. The Grand Chapter of the Royal Arch Masons of the State of vVashington, only a year ago, created Yancey Blalock, ' .... ho died recently, Past Grand High Priest for his services." M. W. Bro. F. J. Miller, Past Grand Master: "We have a 'pr'ecedent within our o'wn jurisdiction. It was my distinguished duty to preside at the funeral of Honorary Past Grand Master F. X. Matthieu, of the State of Oregon. I think we 'have a precedent." M. W. Grand Master Baillie: "All those in favor of this motion will please rise. (Applause.)"

In accordance with the foregoing action the Grand Master, M. W. Brother BailIe, convened an Occasional Grand Lodge in Corvallis, Oregon, the home of Brother Bell, and conf0rred the degree of Honorary Past Grand Master upon him on the 29th day of June, 1921.

We note his compliment to' our method, and reo turn the same with equal pleasure, for Brother Mason follows ",,'hat, to us, has seemed, perhaps, the be:;t way of. discharging the duty of Foreign Correspondent to our Grand Lodge.

ren are making. Their increase in membership still continues, and is evidently keeping pace with the last few years, in spite of the varying conditions incident to our times. We note, however, that "all is not quiet along the Potomac," even within the Grand Jurisdiction of Pennsylvania. In common with others, the problem caused by the abnormal increase in members is now manifesting itself, and the "Proceedings" in several places indicate that some phases of the probleni are acute. , As is well known to our readers, the work of the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania is done in Quarterly Communications, this method enabling the body to deal with precision and eftectivene,ss with the weighty matters which come before it. A perusal of the minutes of these transactions reveals many interesting facts which, did space permit, we should like to excerpt for the benefit of our Missouri brethren. COMMITTEE ON APPEALS.

This Committee has had a good deal of路 work, and has not hesitated to do its duty, The old, old problem of the improper use of the black ball has been causing trouble, and the Committee has done its best to deal with it. COlVIl\lI'rTEE ON BY-LAWS.

This Committee has had lots of work during the last year or two, in the main caused by the adoption of the $20.00 addition to the fees on account of the Masonic Homes. But it shows unmistakably that Pennsylvania Freemasonry is not going back on its legislation on this important matter. BEQUESTS.

This Grand Lodge leads the whole country in the matter of specific bequ'ests for charitable purposes, and it has been our pleasure many times to express our admiration on this phase of their endeavor. Year after year, men of the "brotherhood" have , given lasting testimony to their belief in our institutio'n by making provision in their wills for its perpetuation; and the Grand Jurisdiction of Pennsylvania has been singularly favored in this respect. During the last year a number of such bequests are noted, among which is one from \\T. Harry Brown, of. something like

THE GRAND MASTER'S ADDRESS. The address of M. W. Brother John S. Snell, delivered at the Annual Communication, held December 27, 1921, is perhaps the most "conservative" deliverance which it has ever been our privilege to read. It is apparently the reflection of a term of ortice that has been unusually arduous and beset with grave issues. V,Thile there is much in it that is fundamental, there are also passages, etc., which we from Missouri may be pardoned it we mildly say, "Show us!" But-we may be wrong, and we may have failed -entirely to get the point which the Grand Master is endeavoring to make plain. Anyhow, it will not surprise us if this year's address of the Grand Master of Pennsylvania causes considerable comment among the brethren of the Round Table-and unless we are mistaken, the comment will not be altogether favorable to the Grand Master's attitude. After a survey of FREEMASONRY IN PENNSYLVANIA, in which the Grand Master speaks quite dogmatically concerning the' FraternitY,and says some things which throw a good deal or light on the ancient traditions of our Pennsylvania brethren, he proceeds to speak of the various INNOVATIONS which seem to be. taking place in his Grand Jurisdiction, and from the trend of his utterances it would seem that "somebody" has been doing "something" wrong. 'We hope, however, that there is really "nothing serious." MASONIC SERVICE ASSOCIATION. Here foHows what the Grand, Master thinks of this: The Masonic Service Association, to which I l:eferred in my report of. last year, has been active in its work as indicated in its reports which from time to time have reached our desk. With the broad edueational 110licy of this association, So far as this relates to Masonic teachings, no one will object; but unless the Grai1d Lodg-e

or Pennsylvania is ready to change its constitution and completely abandon its attitude to\vard the activities of subordinate Lodges and wha I. may with propriety be done therein, then the activities of this association must be submitted to the most careful scrutiny, if t.he mandates of the Ahiman Rezon are to be obeyed' and the decisions of our Grand Masters are to be enforced. The purpose of this Association in its inception and as outlin~d to us when we became one of its members, was to 'secure concerted action among the Gnmd Lodges of the nation, in affording relief in cases of great national or even whole-world disaster; and with this purpose we were then and still are in hearty sympat!1y and accord. It seem~ to me, however, that since the pUr})ose of this Association, as ol'iginally defined, has been enlarged so as to include certain activities and functions entirely beyond those originally announced, and entirely foreign to our traditional and well-defined policy, the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania with its vast resources and its large and responsive membership could well afford to resume and from henceforth retain its sovereignty in all things. To my mind, we should conduct our own household in our own way, and I venture the ]lrediction that in the future as in the past, the GI'and Lodge of Pennsylvania will never be found delinquent in its response to all meritorious demands,

THE EVENT OF THE YEAR,

however, took place at the Quarterly Communication held .June 1, 1921, at which the Grand Master read the following EDICT: At a conference recelltly held in the Office of the Grand Master, at which were present the Committee 01; Landmarks, the other Grand Officers and a representation of the DistrIct Deputy 9rand Masters, the stibject of the following Edict was dIscussed, with only o'ne objeet in view, namel~",-the welfare and best interests of Freemasonn' in Pennsylvania; and after giving the subject careful consideration, this Edict is is~;ued with the full concurrence of all those present. \VHEREAS.

"VHE~EAS, e cannot ackno\'.. . ledge these organizations, nor be in any manner associated with them, and those of our membership who are in any manner connected with them, or either of the,m, subj'ect themselves to a contradictory and a divided allegiance; and \VHEREAS, In the construction of our duty we have always held that whatever is doubtful is dangerous, and any introduction of alien agencies must be interdicted as soon as it becomes known; and \VH811EAS, No Freemason owing allegiance' to this Grand Lodge can have. affiliation with such bodies without vi~lating his Masonic dut~' therefore such associations must be dealt with by ,the Grand Lodge' as we deal with all organizations inimical to Freemasonry; and WHER~AS, We hold fixedly and unalterably that under the Usages, Customs and Landmarks of Freemasonry in this Jurisdiction, we must demand exclusive control over our membership in every relation ordained by this Grand Lodge; and ,ViIEREAS, \Yith social or fraternal bodies exercising authority over othe,r agencies for the good of humanity, by whatever name they may be called, or from whatever source they claim to derive their initial authority, we have nothing to do, and have no desire to interfere ill any ~;ay, leaving them to govern themselves and man'age their own concerns in their own way. This Grand Lodge, ho\vevel', denies the right of any such body or association, or any member of it to interfere with the due and orderly management of our fraternal' affairs; and \VHEREAS, All Lodges and members, who are in. any manner as~weiated with any organizations not recog-nized by tbis Grand' Lodge, 21'0 acting in an illegal and unconstitutional manner, the,refore, any of our members who continue in fraternal relationship with such association, after this notice, may. be expelled from his Lodge for gross uTl-l\1'asonic conduct; and WHEREAS, The Edict of the Right Worshipful Grand Master emanates from and through the inherent PQWCI'S of his Offic~, as well as those con felTed by the Ahiman Rezon, and has the authority of Masonic la.w, which must be absolutely followed by evel'yone in good Masonic standing; and WHEREAS, After thoughtful consideration and cal'eful examination of the whole SUbject, we have come to the definite and impartial conclusion that the Order of the Eastern Star, so far as it affects this Grand' Lodge, is subversive of the principles and Landmarks of Freemasonry: '. THEREFORE, I, John S.

they have abandoned all allegiance thereto. The Secretaries are hereby directed to read such re,nunciation at the next meeting of the Lodge after its receipt, make a minute thereof, and make a special return in each case to the Grand Secretary. And I further order and direct that, from henceforth, it shall be unlawful for any F'reemason under the Jurisdiction of this Grand Lodge, to become a member of any organization he,reinabove referred to. This Edict confirms decisions by my predecessoril in similar situations where such conditions have developed. The Grand Secretary is directe,d to furnish to each Secretary of the Subordinate Lodges, a copy of this Edict, with instruction's to have the same printed in full immediately after its receipt, and a copy thereof sent to each member of the Lodge, along with the notice issued by them for the next meeting thereafter. This Edict shall be read at the next Stated Meeting of each Lodge, and copied in full in the minutes. Given under my hand and seal, at the City of Philadelphia, this first day of June, A. D. 1921, A.

'\Te do not propose to discuss this remarkable edict at this time, but, to say the least, it is more than remarkable-it is unique. It calls to our mind the "long-ago," when our ever路 lamented Dr. Vinci! \\'ielded the Correspondent's pen for the Grand Lodge of Missouri. The redoubtable Doctor wielded the cudgels for the "women" in true "Vincilian style," and we rather think that, had he been alive today, and had seen the above Edict, he would have "spoken out in meeting." But-Pennsylvania is weU able to take care of herself-that is, sometimes! EMPLOYMENT BUREAU. The operations of the Employment Bureau at Philadelphia indicate the usefulness of that agency. 1227 applicants were placed during the year. Of these, sixteen brethren were placed at salaries ranging from $3,000 to $7,500 per year, and forty-nine at salaries ranging from $2,000 to $3,000 per year. FOREIGN CORRESPOND]!JNCE. The Report on Correspondence is from the pen of our worthy Brother, Thomas F. Penman, and is quite up to his usual standard. His observations anent 'Masonic Education' are timely and wise. Missouri is treated with kindness, the reviews including the administrations of M. VV. Brothers Garrell and Johnson. The Correspondent is not forgotten, for whieh,-many thanks.

The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the Jurisdiction of the Philippine Islands convened in its Ninth Annual Communication in the Masonic Temple, in the City of Nlanila, on Tuesday the 25th day of January, 1921, at 4 o'clock p. m. The Right vVorshipful DeputYGr~nd Master opened the Grand Lodge in Due Form, with prayer by the Very Reverenrl Grand Chaplain, William F. Gallin, Jr. The Grand Marshal and his escort then retired for the purpose of conducting the Most Worshipful Grand Master, Han. Rafael Palma to the Grand East. The Grand Master was then escorted, to the Altar and was received with the _Grand Honors due his exalted station, and then cond~cted to the Oriental Chair, during which the Choir sang: Hail, Grand Master! Hail, Grand Wardens! Hail, Grand Officers! Good Cheer! See the Brethren stand to greet you, You will find a welcome here. GRAND MASTER'S ADDRESS. This is a document worthy 路of its author, and abounds with de. . tails of great interest. Speakin'g of the death of the Grand Treasurer, the Grand Master says: "The Grand Lodge has lost one of its most distinguished members in the person of Very Worshipful Brother William E. Wichman. The circumstances Which attended his death proved the

high quality of his devotion to duty. He sacrificed his life on the altar of the public service, and his example is' a great honor to our Fraternity." He notes the great increase in members,-aggregating 1019, according to the figures of the Grand Secretary. The Grand Master constitued four new lodges during the year. THE PIKE RITUAL. The Grand Master says that: Owing to the recent organization in these Islands of a number of spuriouR Lodg~es chartered by the Grande Oriente EHpanol, 'it is very desirahle that the uge of the rituals of that Grand Body by our Lodges working in the Scottish Rite should be disconlinued. Many of theRe Lodg'es feel qUite reluctant to give up the Scottish Rite work, and the b<ost way out of the difficulty would seem to be the ado!)tion of the Albert Pike Ritual, which was used by the Scottish Rite Blue LodgeR in the United States before the agreement between the two Hies by which the Symbolic Lodge was ieft to the exclusive jurisdiction of the York Rite. It is therefore recommended that a Committee be appointed to look into this matter and that action on it be taken with the urg'ency which the present situation demands.

The Grand Lodge, however, did not accept the recommendation, for, as we think, very good reasons. CLANDESTINE MASONRY. The Grand Jurisdiction has been considerably pestered with spurious Masonry, and sinister efforts are constantly being made to annoy our brethren, but eternal vigilance on their part is keeping the situation well in hand, and the discreet actions of the Grand Officers are to be highly commend'ed. LODGE HISTORY. An attempt is \eing made to compile a lodge history of the Grand Jurisdiction, and efforts are, being put forth to this end. We are sure this will result in some interesting facts beiT)g unearthed, which will be profitable to the entire Masonic 'Vorld. The Masonic Service Association is highly thought of by our Philippine Brethren, and their Grand Lodge is already a member of the Association. The George :Washington Memorial is also commanding their sympathetic attention.

The Grand Master's reference to the preparations of the United States and the British Empire in the immediate years preceding the Great -'Val', looking for a celebration of the Century of Peace beteen the two nations is a splendid introduction to his approval of the路 setting apart or a MAGNA CHARTA DAY, on which the two branches of the English speaking people may celebrate the blessings which have accrued from RE'presentative Government which owes its inception to the granting of the Charter by King John at Runnymeade. He also favors the idea of a Memorial Day for the Enwire, on the order of our AMERICAN DECORATION DAY, and finishes his address with a splendid tribute to the Grand Secretary.

The volume of Proceedings of the Grand Lodge of Rhode Island presents a picture of Past Grand Master, James E. Batty, followed by reports of two Special Commnnications, one held in Bristol, R. 1., Thursday, June 24, 1920, for the purpose of dedicating a hall to the service of Freemasonry, and the other in Providence, R. I., November'n, 1920, for the purpose of constituting Overseas Lodge, U. D. Upon this occasion, Past Grand Master, Herbert A. Rice, delivered a most eloquent and interesting oration, noting the fact that this Overseas Lodge had been established after the armistice, when the American Army of Occupation had established its headquarters at Coblenz, therefore the lodge had not been subjected to the difficulties and uncertanties or' active military service in the field. We quote from this address as follows:By this ceremony of constitution, Overseas Lodge becomes a permanent subordinate Lodge of this Jurisdiction,' and Rhode Island Masonry broadened and enriched thereby. You bring to our fellowship a roster of loyal and distinguished brethren from every section of our land, all united by a common sentiment and purpose. You come wtih a comradeship cemented in strife and in the memories of service. With many of you a brotherhood in armS at Bellieu' Woods, Chateau-Thierry or in the Argonne was merged into a brotherhood in IVlasonry in the more peacefUl scenes of the Rhineland. The duties which you took upon yourselves as Masons will always be associated in mind with the performance of your duties to your country. This is indeed Masonry truly exemplified. You return to us in military habiliment, with martial bearing and with countenance joyous i~ vict~ry: but best of all you bring back to

The Grand Lodge of Rhode Island also hE'lU a Semi-Annual Communication, in Freemasons Hall, Providence: R. 1., on Novembe~ 15, 1920. The Lodge was opened in Ample }<'o1'111, and :titer transacting lOome business of entirely local interest, it gave its attention to the report of the delegates to the Second Annual Meeting of the Masonic Service Association, held at St. Louis, Mo., on November 9 and 10, 1920. This report, presented by Brother Joseph Lawton, Deputy Grand Master, is quite full, and highly commends the work and purposes of the Association. At the suggestion of Brother Lawton, the report is ordered printed in the proceedings, and referred to the Grand Master for immediate action, 'Ve quote from the concIusion:The brethren of St. Louis, typical of those of the entire country, are ready to do their part to combat the forces of evil. A m,ost interesting suggestion of a fruitful field for good work was the developnlent of a desire on the part of young men to adopt the principles of Masonic teachings, Such desire could and in fact in certain jurisdictions was being cultivated by the formation under the title of De Malay Associations. Their membership is composed of boys between the ages of 16 and 21 ye~rs, who had passed the age of eligibility in the Boy Scouts and other organizations of similar puqJOse and yet needed to be kept interested and guided in the path of honor and manly action. Organizations of tllis char'acter seem to be meeting with success and we would advise that this jurisdiction give the subject serious con~ideration.

Fourteen dispe'nsations were issued during the yeal' for the purpose of attending Divine \Vorship in Lodge formation, also a number of other dispensaitons which all appear to be for the usual purposes. VISIT ATIONS.

The Grand Master made many visitations, and his report indicates harmony among the Brotherhood. He mentions with especial fevor the Communication for constituting Overseas Lodge, and. we append a selection from his account of this meeting:In the evening 600 brethren dined together, among whom were four soldiers who had been wounded in France, and thirty vetreans of the Grand Army 0f the H.epublic, ail of whom were members of the Craft and whose appearance at the banquet table was the signal for a wild outburst of patriotic fervor. Every person in the hall was thrilled when General Lejeune addressed himself to the veterans of the war of '61-'65. . Many a moistened eye followed the movements of the General as he greeted across the table, the Commander of the Grand Army Post. whose members had fought in the same battles of the Civil War with his own father, but on opposite sides. It was a most inspiring incident as the General caressed the Flag and declared, "But, brethren, tonight, 'thank God,' there is no North. 'l'here is no South. We are all Americans and this is our Flag." From this incident to the very last moment of the memorable event, there was held one of the most intensely patriotic meetings. Masonic or otherwise, ever held in Rhode Island. Many splendid stories were told of the activ路ities of Overseas Lodge, U. D .. but none with greater gusto than that in which "The Equality of Masons" within a Tyled Lodge was emphasized by the fact th~t at one time there was a class composed of a "Y" worl{er, a Private, a Sergeant, a Lieutenant, and a Major General with each trying to help the other discover the beauties of the lessons inculcated in the Masonic teaching set forth and where harmony prevails.

Overseas Lodge is still carrying on a splendid work. Since the constitution of the Lodge, its officers have traveled t.o every corner of our State carrying their message of patriotism and good cheer to all of our brethren, and they are a wonderful inspiration wherever they visit.

One new Lodge was formed during the year. MASONIC SERVICE ASSOCIATION.

"in order that the plans of this Association m'ight be carried out in Rhode Island", the Grand Master announceR the appointment of a committee to direct the work, with Worshipful Brother Joseph Lawton as chairman. GEORGE vVASHINGTON MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION. The Grand Lodge accepted the report of the delegate, Brother Wilbur A. Scott, to the meeting of this ARsociation, held at Alexandria, Va., February 21-22, 1921. This report closes with the wor.ds:The Eleventh Annual Convention of the Memorial Association was from e'very viewpoint the most enthusiastic and inspiring that it has been my privilege to attend. The substantial increase in funds, the contributions having been more than those of all the previous years combined, and the encouraging reports from all sections of the country, appeared to assure the early attainment of the funds required and the consummation of the splendid project.

'fhe Proceedings of the annual communication are preceded by a report of an Especial Communication of the Grand Lodge, held at Regina, Sask., on October 4, 1920, for the purpose of Constituting and Consecrating Banner Lodge No. 134. THliJ FIFTEENTH ANNUAL COMMUNICATION of the Grand Lodge Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of Saskatchewan, was held in the city of Saskatoon, comm~ncing at 2 p. m. on Wednesday, June 15, 1921. A constitutional number of Lodges being represented Grand Lodge was opened in Due Form, the Grand Chaplain having inyoked the Blessing of the G. A. O. T. U. on the proceedings. The Deputy Grand Master gave permission for the admission of Master Masons in good standing, properly vouched for, as visitors. ADDRESS OF WELCOME. Brother Alderman H. McConnell, deputy mayor of the city or Saskatoon, and Brother Henry, President of the Chamber of Commerce, were then admitted, and introduced to the Grand Lodge. Brother McConnell, in place of the Mayor, Dr. A. M. Young, extended to the Grand L~dge a most hearty welcome to the City, and hoped the brethren would carry away with them pleasant recollections of their short stay in the city. ADDRESS OF THE DEPUTY GRAND MASTER. The M. ,\7. Grand Master, 'Brother E. L. Elwood, having passed from the labors of earth to the everlasting refreshment of the Grand Lodge on High on the 19th of May, 1921, the government or the Craft in' the Grand Jurisdiction of Saskatchewan developed upon the Deputy Grand Master in -the interval before the Annual Communication. The Deputy Grand Master, in his address to the Grand Lodge, pays splendid tribute to the memory of his distinguished predecessor, and mourns his untimely end. Among other things he says: Stricl,cn dO'Nn at the meridian of his existence, at a time of life when he seemed scarcely more than to have entered upon a career or splendid promise and attainment, his lo,ss is particu!arly hard to llear.

discordant elements of a greedy and rampant indivic1.ualism" when the ancient landmarks that form the only enduring foundation of the social order seem at times none too secure-his steaofast example, wise counsel, penetrating vision and unwavering faith路 in the ultimate triumph"of the powers of righteousness were as an anchor and source of inspiration to all with whom he associated. With heroic fortitude and undimmed faith in the insc.rutable providence of the M.ost High he bore his yoke without a murmur during the pain and anguish of a lingering disease. To 路the last his interest in the Craft never waned, and even while on his deathbed he endeavored to discharge t.he duties of the Grand Master's exalted station. So unflinching a devotion to duty in the midst of such distressing circumst.ances was a splendid tribute to the influence of the teachings of our Noble Exemplar ;whose life he ti'uly professed to emulate when he was raised a Master Mason. M. VV. Bro. Elwood's life was a benediction. the ennobling路 force of his personality and example can never die, but will serve as a beacon light of latty and benign vision guiding us onward and upward to the resplendent porta-is of that spiritual edifice, not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. But a "few short days ago we bade our Grand Master a long and lasting farewell. His memory we shall forever cherish in" our hearts as a sacred and imperishable treasure. "His life .was gentle; and the clements So mixed in him, that Nature might stand up, And say to all the world-This was a man!"

VISIT OF DEPUTY GRAND MASTER FROM ONTARIO. Early in October 1920 this Grand .Jurisdiction was privileged to welcome a Representative fl'om the Grand Lodge of Canada in Ontario in the person of Right \Voz'shipful Bro. W. I\f. Ponton, Deputy Grand Master of the latter Grand Jurisdiction. On the occasion of this visit Rig;ht \Yorshipful Bro. Pont.on wrrs ent.ertained at a luncheon by the Board of General Purposes of the Grand Lodge of Saskechewan, and in the evening he addl'essed a mass meeting of 500 Saskatchewan Brethren. including- many Grand Lodge Representatives, in the City Ha1l, Regina. The distinguished speaker conveyed 路fraternal greelings from the Grand Lo.'tge of Ontario in memorable and inspiring terms. His message eloquently emphasized the spirit of comradeship and bl'othcrhood permeating our Masonic institutions with reference to the great social and national problems challenging solution during the period of reconstruction. Rig'ht \Vorshipful Bro. Ponton's address was Intensely patriotic throughout, and had a splendid historical background exemplified by a num,.leI' of instructive historical documents oatinw back to the time of Sir Isaac Brock

DISPENSATIONS FOR NEW LODGES. During the year dispensations were issued by the Gr'and Master for the following Lodges: Cut Knife at Cut Knife; \Velwyn at \Velwyn; Saltcoats at Saltcoats: Fillmore at Fillmore.

The Deputy Grand Master attended a large number of the DISTRICT MEETINGS.

Of these he speaks as follows: It \yas my priYilege to attend t\velve out of fifteen of the district

meetings held duril)g the summer. In all but two instances where tile Deputy Grand Masters proved themselves negligent or al)athetic or both, the attendance was most commendable and the exemplifications of the degree work was creditably performed. As in the past :Most \Vorshipful Brother Tate took charge of the degree and esoteric work during the afternoon sessions,while the evenings were devoted to a study of the social applications of Masonry with respect to the great. national and economic problems that challenge the highest talents of skillfUl statesmanship. To Most -Worshipful Brother Tate this Grand Jurisdiction is deeply indebted for the gracious and efficient manner in which he discharged the duties imposed on him by the Grand Master. His expositions, more particularly of parts of the third degree, were l)Owerful and inspiring sources of Masonic enlig'htenment to all Lhe bret.hr'en privileged to hear him. And here let me emphasize the point that the recommendation I shall make later on with reference to the exeeution of the degree work at these meetings, will, if adopted, in no way detract from the usefulness of our Grand Secretary at the district meetings of the future. To the local brethren who made the necessary arrangements for the accommodation of the visiting members, not infrequently at considerable expense and inconvenience to themselves, the thanks of Grand Lodge is heartily extended. A unique and important feature of eaeh meeting was the reading by Most \Yorshipful Brother Tate of a m(:ssage from the Grand

'Master, who, owing to his illness, was unablc to attend in person. This message is worthy of insertion and I 1<now it will be forever treasured in the hearts of all Masons in-this Grand Jurisdiction:

GRAND MASTER'S MESSAGE. Brethren:A t the last meeting of Grand Lodge I intimated that, should I he electcd Grand Master my. physical 路condition would prevent me being- present at the District Meetings. \Vith the exception of the meeting to be held at Moosomin-and there are exceptional reasons why I should be present at that meeting--r shall, therefore, much to my sincer'e regret be unable to be present at these meetings. In my absence the meetings will be in charge of 1\.1. "Y. Bro. Tate, Grand Secretary, who, as in the past, will instr.uct the Lodges in the degree wor1<, ana who, I hope, will be accompanied by one or more Grand Lodge Officers, who, with him,. will give you instructive and inspiring addresses. 'Vhile proficiency and un iformity of practice in conferring degrees is desirable and mo~t important we should be quite missing the purpose of Masonry if we concluded that that repI:escnted. the object of Masonry or even its most impOI'tant featuI'e. l\fasonr~: aims at building up Chal'acter and assisting to make u~ h'etter men and better citizens. Not only better in our relation~ with our brother Masons but with those with whom we can come in contact outside of the Craft. To anyone who is at all a student of public affairs it is very apparent that in our iimes there never has been a period when good citizenship in the highest sense was so required, if our country is to be a safe decent-living and God-fearing country to live in, as at the preseJlt time. 'Ve as Masons must accept our share of the burden of the responsibilities of citizenship. " It is not ~ufficient to accept the benefit without contributing to .the best that is in us to bring about an improvement and continuation of '''-hat has been and is. Nothing.in this world that has been worth while has ever been gained without sacrifice. 'Vhcn we reflect what a large proportion of the male population of this Province ::Vra~onry represents it becomes very apparent what an immense influence we can bring to bear in moulding public opinion and action. J<Jach individual Mason should constitut.e himself an Evangelist in an endeavor to J)l'omote a general standard of conduct and living approaching the ideals which we as Masons profess to admire. Our dut~' as Masons is of course set out in OUI' chargeS and lecture~ in the degTee work but r an1 afraid that \vlutt is there set forth for our guidance too often g'oes in one cal' and out the o 11H'r.

And if I might sugg-cst, the more simple the language employed, and the

more free from purely Masonic .Phraseology the more effective such addresses will prove. Perhaps I cannot put the whole matter better than to say that a. good and true Mason is one who follows with exactitude the teachings of the Great Architect of the Universe. In conclusion I tl'ust that your meetings may be fruitful of good results and may prove an inspiration to a realizatioTI of some a.t least of the ideals that we strive for. \Vith every good wish, Yours fraternally, E.

FREEMASONRY AS AN INTERNATIONAL AND _ FORCE.

NATIONAL

In concluding his address the Deputy Grand Master utters some epoc-making words, that are so weighty that ,,,e feel almost dutybound to reproduce them, even though our space be so limited. He says: In conclusion permit me to refer to an opportunity for patriotic service enjoyed in unique degree by the great institution of Freemasonry at the present critical juncture of social, l.~conomic, and international reconstruction. Certain profligate demagogues and reckless agitators posing as national heroes have heen doing- their utmost of late to stir up animosity and misunderstanding- between Great Britain and the United States of America. That such despicable tactics are foredoomed to failure need not be arg-ued. Our Anglo-American legacy is a common heritage of language, art and literature. of kinship and ideals. Since Magna Charta t.he spirit of our common law and the genius of our democratic institutions have developed first in identity and then in harmony toward the same goal of British responsible government--of American Government "of the people, by the people, for the people." We, as loyal British subjects, venerate the noble achieVements and cherish in our memories the deeds of great American patriots, while our (;ousins acros~ the international border pay willing homage to the great statesmen that added lustre to Britain's historic pa'st. We stand together tt> bear the white man's burden to protect the weak and oppressed against the tyrant and the autocrat. Temporary misunderstandings may arise hut deep-seated animosities can never prevail. To cement the ties of kinship, tolerance, and mutual goodwill, and to knit together, even more securely than in the past, these two great branches of the Anglo-Saxon racc--this is the unique opportunity, and responsibility of the great international spirit of Freemasonry, which places hl'otherly love, relief and truth and the equality of our fraternal intercourse above the' accident of birth or the petty nationalism of the jingo. Fl'eemasonry as the interpreter of frue British and American national ideals spells Freemasonry as the Unifying Genius of the two great branches of the Anglo-Saxon world.

May we Masons of Saskatchewan, the second largest Grand Jurisdiction of the Dominion, do our utmost tow8.rds cementing the bonds of international amity and brotherhood and thus hasten the day when the spirit of our Order, unfettered by the accidents' of time or circumstance, may rise to the level of its God-given destinies! At a later stage in the proeeedings I shall place before you a concrete proposal whereby if adopted, Grand Lodge can materially assist in the solution of perhaps our greatest national problemthat of Canadianization. As you are aware, practically fifty per cent of our provincial pOI)ulation is not of Anglo-Saxon,' origin. This fact in itself need give no cause for alarm provided we appreciate the signifi'cance of the situation and employ in a statesmanlike manner the most effective factors in racial assimilation. Progressive evolution lies in variation and not in drab steam-rollered uniform,ity. Nor can the germs of racial or religious bigotry thrive in the pure white light of Freemasonl'Y. Our viewpoint is one of mutual helpfulness, toleration and goodwill towards all our citizens irrespective of race, creed or langua.ge. The spirit of coercion 'is foreign to our doctrines and repugnant to the principles of our democratic institutions. \Ve wish to give the best we have in our civilization and to receiYe in return the best o.ur fellow citizens from other l~nds have to offer from their treasure-house of art, literature and scientific achievement. Our critici~m is constructive, not destructive. The aid we proffer consists in deeds rather than mere words, and is free (rom all political or sectarian taint. And at this juncture let me point out and emp:1asize a ,note of \varning sounded by several illustrious brethren who have occupied the Grand East. Every institution at the present crisis in our social, national and economic reconstruction owes a l)aramount duty to make a positiye and effective contribution to the forces that are struggling to promote the cause of righteousness,justice, and the rehabilit.ation of the social order. In the \\o'ords of M. W. Bro. R. Young: "The days are upon us when institutions such as ours must st.and for something or stand aside." Again in the words of M. \V. Bro. N. B. ,Villiams: "Freemasonry must adopt a more positive attitude in every department of its activity so that the results achieved may be of- a more tangible nature." In the Report of the Committee on the Condition of Masonry, presented last year by M. VV. Bro. C. O. Davidson, appear the foll-owing words as the climax of an eloquent passage: "'Ve are told that to be a good Mason is to be a good citizen, and now more than at any other time, to be a good' citizen, one cannot, like Nero, 'fiddle while Rome Burns.''' Similar is the spirit of the message conveyed by M.\V". Bro. E. L. Elwood in his brief addr~ss to the brethren at the District }\'leetings. The present is no time for men of petty enthusiasms and restricted vision to guide our deliberations and shape our destinies. The world is calling for enlightment, for sane and noble leadership. Can Freemasonry-which from time immemorial has combatted the sin ister forces of ignorance, bigotry, superstition and libertinism-"lure t.o brighter worlds and lead the way"? Or shall we be found limping in the rear at the end of the great procession

of progress? It may be, as Prof. Jam,es remarked, that, "the present moment of consciousness is the darkest ill the whole serieli"; but one truth at least is evident-the spirit of service is in the air. Men are anxious to do the right as they have vision to see the path of duty. The functional or altruistic, of which Prof. Drummond wrote, is struggling to rise supreme above th0 acquisitional or se1fish'- In the words of General Smuts: "Civilization has struck its tents and is again on the march." Many seern,ing1y im1)ossible harriers are yet to be surmounted, many precipitous heights to be scaled many griefs and many disappointments to be borne before the pr'omised goal is reached and the dawn of a more glorious era shall become a living reality. And in this great process of .nation-builUing shall Freemasonry contribute an honourable proportion of the ash lars of citizenship, wrought and perfect.ed by the deeds of kindness and service to humanity? My confident hope is that we shall be able\ to recognize the universal duty that lies athwart our paths, and that the words of the great Mason and poet may be truly applicable to the templebuilders of this Grand Jurisdiction:"One stone the more swings into place In that dread temple of Thy worth; It is enough that through Thy grace I saw naught common in Thy earth. "Take not that vision from my ken, 0, whatso'er may spoil or speed, Help me to need no aid from men That I may help sueh men as need."

COMMUNICATION.

At the qua.rterly communication of the Grand Lodge held the third day of November, 1921, Brigadier-General Robert Gordon Gordon Gilmour of Liberton and Graigmillar, Rt. War. Past Grand Master, on the Throne. The Grand Lodge was opened in full form and 'with solemn prayer. PRESENTATION OF GRAND MASTER'S JEWEL. Bl'other The Right Honourable Lord SaHoun, C. M. G., Past Grand Master, on behalf of the brethren, presellted a Past Grand Master's Jewel to Brigadiel'-General Robert Gordon Gordon Gilm,our of Liberton and Craig-millar, Past Grand Master. He said it was a long time since he had the hono'ur and the pleasure of being ther eam.ongst them as Grand Master. 'Vhen the Grand Secretary wrote him a line and'told him that the Past Grand Master was to receive a jewel that day and asl,ed him to be present, he immediately wrote and said it would givellim great pleasure to be present, but on coming there he found a very great honour in store for him. The 'noble Lord whom they were going presently to put in the chair, asked him to undertake the duty of presenting the jewel to the Past Grand Master, a,nd he could assure them that he considered it a very great honour and a very great l)leasure indeed. Brigadier-General <;}ordon Gilmour and he ",,.ere very old, and jf he would allo\,\r him to say so, very intimate friends. He could remember when the Past Grand Master joined the regiment which they both had the honour to belong to, and they had from that day remaiJied close friends and his old friend had risen to the very highest rank in that regiment. They all knew how in the late war he had also greatly distinguished himself in the way thclt soldiers do. Coming to his conneetion with the Craft, he said it was his great honour in, he thought 18!J7, to instal their Past Grand Master as Provincial Grand Master of Midlot.hian, and he always hoped and had always expected that he would follow in his footsteps and would gradually take his place. He was glad to say the prophecy he made then had been fulfilled, and a most worthy 'and excellent Grand Master he ha,d been. He had been C),sl,ed to present this jewel', and he thought it was a very distinguiRhed proof of the great affection and esteem they had for him as Grand Master that t.hey had given him so magnificent a jewel. He was that day happy to have the hon'our of giving- him the jewel in tIleir name and giving him his heartiest congratulations and wishes that he migIlt be long spared to wear it. The Past Grand Master who \vas received with loud and prolonged applause, said :-Hight '\Vol'shipful Past. Gl'and Mastel' and brethren, I an1 profoundly touched by the very ldnd words with which you, Rig-ht V,rorshipful Grand Sij'. have made t11is presentation, and il'om the vcry bottom of Illy heal路t I thank both you and the brethren in whose name that presentation has been made. I Bhall al ways look back on my time as Grand Master l\'lason as a vel'y happy one,

and that happiness my Lord, has been very greatly increased, by the loyalty, by the 'kindness, by the assbtance, and by the support I have always received from my bretlHe!l in the Grand Lodge. I should like to say too that it gives me additional pleasure to' receive this decoration at the hands of one of my oldest friends. It was he who brought me ])ractically into Scottish Masonry. He installed me as l'rovincial Grand Master of Midlothian, and therefore it is peculiarly fitting that v.;hen I practically made my bow. he should be the o'ne who should assist me and give me this beautiful .decoration. I certainly trust that the many friendships I have formed in Grand Lodge will always be continued, even though I no longer actively assist at its meetings and its deliberations. I assure you that I shall always wear this je\vel with the greatest pride, and that it will always be treasured and preserved as an heirloom in the old house of The Inch, not merely for its beauty and its intrinsic value, although both are very great, but as a reminder of a particularly Ilieasant time of my life, and as the precious gift of my brethren of the Grand Lodge. [The Jewel which was supplied by Brother Colonel Edward ,J. Inches, D. S. 0., D. L. J. P., Grand Jeweller, is made with a 18-carat gold back and platinum front, set with brilliants and sapphires. In the centre is the fig'ure of St. Andrew with cross in front, modelled in relief of IS-carat gold, set on a concave dark blue enamel ground. The connecting chains are of platinum, and the compasses, square, and segment of circle of 18-carat gold, with the points of the .compasses and the blade of the square platinum fronted.

He was thereafter installed and invested with the collar and jewel of his office, and was conducted to the Throne amidst applause by the installing Grand M.aster. Proclamation of the election and install a tion was made. by the Grand Director of Ceremonies, a fanfare being sounded by the Trumpeters. The Grand Mastel' intimated that he held appointed Brother The Right Honourable The Earl of Stair, D. S. 0., as Grand Master Depute, and Brother Sir Alexander Gibb, G. B. E., C. B., as Substitute G.路and Master, for the ensuing- twelve months. The installing Grand Master at the request of the Grand Master installed Brothers The Right Honourable' The Earl of Stair and Sir Alexander Gibb as Grand Master Depute and Substitute Grand Master respectively, and invested them with the jewels of their respective offices. The Grand Office-bearers elected at last Quartei"ly Communication, with the exception of the .Junioi路 Grand ,Varden, were thereafter inf>talled and invested with the jewels of their respective offices by the installing Grand Master. The Installing 'Grand l\Jaster then said:-"It is a great pleasure and a great privilege to be the ti)'st to offer to you m~: most sincere congratulations and those of every brother present tonight on this great and signal honour which has been c:onferred upon you. (Applause.) It is the gre1l.test that Grand Lodge has in its power to bestow. It is a. case of history repeating itself as you are following in the footsteps of your distinguished ancestor who was Grand Master Mason in 1761 to 1762. I confidently predict that your tenure of office will be both agreeable to your'self and beneficial to the Craft." (Applause.) 'rhe Grand Mastel' Mason, who was recdved with loud路 applause, said :-"Right 'Worshipful Past Grand Master, it is very difficult on an occasion of this kind to express the gratitude I feel for the great. honour which has been conferred upon me. At such a time I feel overcome with the greatness of the work and the greatness of the responsibilities. It is quite true as you have said that my ancestor, Charles, Earl of Elgin, occupied the same position ltO years ago. He is one of my ancestors to whom I always look back with feelings of the utmost respect, in that he was not only a F)'eemason, but he was a man who built up the honout' and traditions 01' his house in

RESOLllTION-FLAG.

Brother Geo, A, Pettigrew 'presented the foUowing: Brethren: Today, .Tune 14, being the anniversary of the birth of the flag of our country, I fraternally .present the following sentiment: , Behold the flag of our country; the greatest flag of the gl'eatest nation of all the world, Ma~r it ever wave over a fre~ and libertyloving people; may it ever represent the highest ideals of American 'manhood; the highest standard of exalted womanhood; t.he purest principles of democracy. May its generous folds, blessed by Almighty God glorified by the blood of our ior,~j'athel's and reverenced by the Masons of our country, ever succor and support. at home and abroad, on land and on sea, suffering mankind struggling for human rights路, human freedom and human advancement. And the sentiment was ,unanimously concurred in, and small flags distributed to members.

TELEGRAMS. The Grand Lodge of Iowa sent cordial greetings to her South Dalwta Grandchildren, to which the Grand Lodge of South Dakota responded in fitting terms, TH~JGRAND

MASTER'S ADDRESS.

This is a carefnlly-arranged. business-like document, setting forth conditions as they are in South Dakota, and revealing considerable strength and prudence on the part of the Grand Master. In opening, he says: Usually, in a period of depression, the growth of Masonic bodies is matcl'ially effected; not so with us, for we have had a greater increase in membership the past year than any which have preceded it, and eight new lodges have been formed. I understand that our sister jurisdictions have experienced the same increase. Our lodges seem to have more work than they can do; becoming mere degree machines, leaving no oPl)Qrtunity for .the finer things of Masol1l;Y, such as the social functions and doings of practical Freemp,sonry. which are ~o necessary to Vrol11otc harmony in the institution. ,Vo somet imes wonder if our brethren are fulfilling their obligations in guarding路 well the outer door and seeing to it that none but the worthy &re admitted.

A GOOD THING. The Grand Master tells

liS

that:

Masonry in this jurisdiction has been instrumental in passing two great la\vs whieh will materially advance education in this state. One of these, rcquiring- every teacher to tal~e an oath t.o support. t.he Constitution of the Statc and of the Gnited St.ates before they can obtain a certificate t.o teach, TIle other is what 'is known as the

Language Bill, passed by the last Legislature, requIring every child of school age to attend the public schools, during the time of the term in the school district, until they shall have reached the eighth grade, where only the English language is taught. This last bill was fought very hard by the patrons of Parochial Schools, but the Leg'islature being composed of more than fifty per cent Masons, it was passed and passed with a clause of compulsion that has teeth in it.

NEW LODGES.

The Grand Master granted dispensations for the formation of eight new lodges, and refused a dispensation for one on account of close proximity to another lodge. VISITATIONS.

The Grand Master was diligent in making visits, and these were occasions of great value to the brotherhood. DECISIONS.

The Grand Master tells of having had a large correspondence reo ga.rding the proceedings of the lodges, and cannot say that he has really rendered any decisions,-all the cases put up to him being covered by the existing law. He says "it appears to me that if our brethren concerned would make some effort. to post themselves on the rules and regulations of the institution they would not have to be continually referring matters to the Grand Master." So say we! THE EASTERN STAR AGAIN.

The Grand Master tries his best to meet a growing difficulty. He says: I suggest that some action be taken to hold the communications of this Grand Body at a different place or different time than that held by the Grand Chapter of the Eastern Star. '\Ve are not unmindful of the great benefit the Eastern. Star has been to us as a Grand Body and to the lodges at home. I believe in llassing this Grand Lodge aroUJ1d. I believe that -it is a great benefit to Masonry to have it held in different ]llaces. but, the Order of the Eastern Star has become so large that but few towns in the State arc able to ,accommodate the two bodies at the same time. Kone of us can be' taken care of comfortably. It has been asked, what about our representation? It has been my observation that the wife wants to attend the Grand Chapter; she has her husband procure a proxy froni his lodgc and attend with hel'; the man is u~ually not a representa-

The only time there is a full representation of the members at the Grand Lodge is when the vote is. taken upon Junior Warden and the drawing of the mileage. This Grand Lodg·e is becoming larger each year, but if t.he two were separated, there are a dozen towns in the state tha lcoulq accommodate us without any trouble.

The first part of the Proceedin'gs are devoted to a complete account of the Memorial Service held at Hobart, on Monday, February 14th, 1921, in honor of the recently deceased Grand Master, --M. W. Bro. Davies. All the solemn splendor and dignity which characterizes the 1<~reemasonry of Great Britain and Her Colonies, was featured at this service, and the following eulogy and memorial sketch was delivered by the Pro Grand Master, lVI. W. Bro. H ..L. D'Em.den: Brethren -\"e are met together this evening to pay a tribute of respect to the memory of our late Grand l\1aster, and I am confident that there is no one present but feels that any tribute to his memory that ,ve can offer is richly deserved, for I can think of no one in our Order wh'o has for so long a period occupied so high a position .and carried out the duties attached to that posiitn in such a wholehearted and self-sacrificing manner as our late Grand Master., Our hearts were chilled when we heal'd of his sudden death on 1st February, in the midst of such an active and useful life. No words of mine can adequatel~' represent my sens'e of the greatness of the loss ÂŁustained by his death, which has created a 'blank in our Order. His experience was so wide, his disposition so generous, and his Masonic !<nowledge so great, that we recognised in him a counsellor, and appreciated his friendship as a choice possession. He was at all times abounding inactivity, and created a happy influence of hope and confidence. His Masonic life was such as to uphold the Craft in thilii

jurisdiction, and r'endel' it respected in Australia and abroad. He is no more trUly mourned in his own dom.estic circle, with whom we all deeply sympathise, no more greatly missed in the community in which he was an important figure, than in this Grand Lodge with which he was connected since its inception in 1890, and which his services as an officer during 30 years did so much to improve and strengthen. Charles .Ellis Davies was initiated in the Tasmanian Union Lodge, No. 536, English Constitution, on the !lth September, 1874, and, after serving in minor offices, was elected Worshipful Master in the years 1884-5, 1885-6, and again in 1887-8. On the 24th June, 1912, he was elected an honorary member of the Lodge, which had then' become No.3, Tasmaliian Constitution. He was also a member of the Mark Master Masons Lodge, No. 274, Eo C., of which he became the District Grand Master; he passed through the various chairs of the Royal Arch CI~apter', and later became District Grand Master of the Royal Ark Mariners Lodge. He was also a Knight Templar, :1nd had other degrees and at the meeting of Grand Lodge in February, 1900, announcement was made that the rank of Past Grand 'Varden of the Grand Lodge of England had been conferred upon him. At the inauguration of the Grand Lodge of Tasmania, on 26th June, 1890, he became Junior Grand "'Varden, was Senior Grand 'Varden in 1892; and became Deputy Grand Master in the year" 1893. He was apointed Pro Grand Master in 1895, and upon the d~ath of the Grand Master, M. W. Bro. E. O. Giblin, on the 27th December, 1895, Bro. Davies was elected to the vacilnt position and filled the office from that date until 1914, when he voluntaril~; relinquished it and nominated His Excellency Sir W. Grey Elliso'n-Macartne~; as his successor, and him.self accepted the office of Pro Grand Master. Upon the transfer of His Excellency to the State of 'Vest. Australia, early in 1917, Bro. Davies ,vas again elected as Grand Master, and continued to fill that position, to which he was annually elected, until his death, on the 1st February, 1921. Under his rule and guidance our Grand Lodge made steady and successful progress. From the '3arliest return availahle, which is dated 30th June 1891, our Lodges have grown from 20 to 34 at the 31st December' last, but six of these are not working, while the number of members has grown from 923 to 2,177 for the same periods. And in this connection, let me quote a paragraph from a circular he issued last Christmas:On the eve of relinquisrdng the high and honourable position of Grand Master of Tasmania-which, by your will and 路fraternal consider.ation, I have occupied for over twenty of the happiest years of my life-it is most gratifying to kno\" that at no time since th.e inception of our Grand Lodge has :B'reelnar::onry been more popular and prosper"ous than during the prcr::cnt year.

Grand Lodge was opened at 4 p. m., in Ample Form, with solemn prayer. 'l'he Lodge was in mourning for the late Grand Master, Han. C. E. DaYies, M. L.路 C. The practical work of the Grand Lodge is done mainly by THE BOARD OF GENERAL PURPOSES, the Report of which was read, and adopted: From this report we note that a desire obtains for the adoption of uniform ritual for .the Australian Grand Lodges, but that difficulties are in the way, and that, for the present, steps are to be taken to carryon the work along o~d lines, with one or two ad(litions thereto.

REPOR'l' OF THE GRAND

SECRETAR~-.

1"rom this we gather that R. 楼,T. Brother Hamilton has been granted relief from active duty, on account of enfeebled health, and that yv. Brother W. H. Strutt has been appointed as Acting Grand Secretary. Brother Strutt also acts as Correspondent, and as such acknowledges receipt of the Proceedings of many Grand Lodges. but there is no REPORT ON CORRESPONDENCE, similar to most other Grand Lodges. The chief business of the Annual Communication on this occasion seems to have been in connection with the election or a new Grand Master, and his Installation. 1\'[. W. Brother H. L. D'Emden, who has been Pro Grand Master for some time, was formally elected to succeed M. W. Brother Davies, and was solemnly inducted into office by M. W. Brother Lt.-Col. J. H. Room, Past Grand Master. GRAND MASTER'S ADDRESS. This is a brief survey of the work of the Grand Lodge, both past and future, and contains many sympathetic references to the Jate Grand Master, and his beneficial influence upon the Tasmanian Grand Jurisdiction. Congratulations to the Grand Master: and expres~ions of deteI'miHation to carryon the work committed to their care, characterize all the speeches made, and the Grand Lodge adjourned with peace and harmony prevailing.

There heing present the representatives of a constitutional num路 bel' of subordinate lodges the Grand Lodge was opened in Ample Form, with prayer by the Grand Chaplain. ANNUAL ADDRESS. The Address of the Grand Master reveals a year of hard work on his part, but one of evident enjoyment to himself and doubtless of profit to the Craft. In the opening paragraph the Grand Master says: Tn the diRcharge of m~' official duties I was at all times conscious that the hrilliant lig'ht of my living predecessors still shonc around me, and that theil' eyes were ever watchful t1yat I uphold with dignity the high honor of my I)osition as Grand Master. Our banners swell in every breeze that sweeps the continent. Let us render thanks and praise to Almighty God whose spirit has inclined our hearts to form ourselves into a common brotherhood. Are ur Jodges too numerous, OUI' membership too great? Not so, 'if we uphold t'he standard which it is our duty to do as men and Masons. The bretlncn everywhere have been ever ready to assist me with t heir counsel and advice whenever I called on them, and that was man~' times.

MISCELT.JANEOUS. The Charters of four lodges were ordered to be taken up, and in one case the report of the officer commissioned for the duty says that the hall and property of the lodge in- question h~ving burned .... "there was nothing to take up". The ashes, w~ presume, W,ere scattered to the four winds of heaven.

Eight new lodges were duly constituted, and eight dispensations were granted for the formation of neW lodges. A number of duplicate charters were issued to lodges having lost their originals. REQUESTS FOR AID.

The Grand Master says: I had eight requests for permission to send out circular letters asking lodges for help. Three were wanting' help for some brother, one for a widow and children, two fOl' building halls and two to 'pay off debts. All of which' 1 refused and refnrred them to Edicts 15 and IlD, but to those who ,,,,anted help for the brothers and the widow and children I suggested they write to the Board of Control of the l\1"a'l.onic Home explaining the nature of the case.

OFFICIAL VISITS .

Speaking of these the Grand Master says: I have made 174 vi:=;its, during ,the year and in all I'Jdges Without exception t was shown all t.he kindness and courtesy due the office of Grand l\'Iast.el\ and t.o me personally it was a great pleasure. To see t.he lodges as they actuall~" ,vere, was my great objecL Often I gave bllt short notice. and when 1 could meet with the lodge at its stated meeting or a meeting called for 'work, I gave no notice. On one occasion I attended a meeting called for work, and when Jar .. ri,"(~d no one l,ncw me. The g'ood brother Tiler proceeded to appoint. a. COlllmittee to tn' me as the \Vorsl1ipful Mal'tcr had not arrived. \,Vhile t.he c0mmittee was being selected some brother came up who recognized me as Grand :\'1aster. This causedconsiderahle laughtel'. I believe some good was accomplished in my visits.

COURTESY WORK. Of this the Grand Lodge of Tennessee has its shure, as is the case of most other Grand Lodges. The Grand Master, speakin~ of this, made a re'commendation which failed, however, to get the endorsement of the Grand Lodge. This is what he said: Cou rtesy work requires considerable correspondence. Our Gran'1 Secl'eta'ry receives a good salary and is furnished a stenographer, who could ill a short time each day attend to the courtesy work. I r('commended that Edict 70 be changed so as t,) rt~ad without the \\'ritten consent ,and approval of the Grand Master, or Grand Secretan' of Tennessee. and of the Grand M;lster and Grand Secretary of the foreign jui-isdiction involved.

EDUCATIONAL WORK. The Grand Lodge of Tennessee has embarked upon a great program of education, and the Grand Master reports the c~mstitution of their Educational Committee, and 'also a number of meeting:; held in selected districts. Of this work he says: This is a work that will require to accomplish great good, but the working with the Committees are for the advancement of the cause

time, patience and perseverance men who are engaged and are full of interest and enthusiasm of education.

CENTENNIAL OF- THE GRAND LODGE OF MISSOURI. Grand Master Blake was a distinguished visitor at the last session of our own Grand Lodge, and the fo1l0wing gives the impression made upon him: • September 20th, and 21 st; by SI?ecial invitation I attended the Gra'nd Lodge or Missouri, at St.-Louis, and made a short talk on our mother, this being the centennial anniversary of the Grand Lodge or Mls~ouri. Tennessee granted charters to·hree of its lodges, which were numbers 12. 25' and 28, while u'nder our Jurisdiction, but became-numbers 1, 2. and 3, of the Grand Lo<1g~ of Missouri. It was a notable gathering. ~nd sevcral other Grand Jurisdiction§ were represente(l.. No time or expense was spared \.0 make all the Grand Visitors enjoy the occasion, and the hospitality of the Missouri Brethren was shown t.o us in the fullest extent. I had the pleasure of visiting their Masonic Home by special invitation from its President Brother Sol E. ",Vag-goner. They have 3] 8 residents. !l4 men. 92 women, 50 boys and 82 girls.

GRAND LECTURERS. The Grand Master commissioned, upon recommendation of the Board ofCllstodians, a number of District Lecturers, in the hope of helping to solve what is a very difficult problem for the Grand Lodge. He sums up a discussion of the matter by the following recommendation: "Unless thi~ Grand Lodge can agree upon some plan to compenllate qualified men \".ho can give their tim.e to the _work, I recommend that the·incoming- Grand Master, be instructed to appoint a committee, whose duty it shall be to correspond 'with othcr Grand ,Turisdictions. inquiring their system of lecturers. the number engaged in t.he work, and, the salaries or other means provided for their servir.es, and to report their findings to the next Grand Lodge. with such recommendation as they believe wonld be to the best 'interest of Freemasonry in Tennessee.

More than seven hundred pages are occupied with the riames of the individual members of the subordinate lodges, and the volume is prefaced by a life-like picture of the Grand Master, M. W.

At the request of the Grand l\'laster all the brethren of forty years standing or over, rose in their places, and the Grand Master briefly addressed them, telling them of the inspiration which their presence afforded. ADDRESS OF THE GRAND

MASTl~R.

This is a document of nearly forty pages, and is a statesmanlike production of which the -whole fraternity, wheresoever dispersed may be proud. The Grand Master has had a year of 'labors more abundant' with many things to try his mettle, and engage his best judgment. That he has succeeded in an extraordinary manner is evidenced by the utterances of distinguished members of the' Grand Lodge from time to time during the sessions; a.nd it is certain that M. W. Brother Randell was the man for the hour in Texas Masonry. The Masonic Service Association, The George Washington Mem': orial, the DeMolay, The Ku-Klux Klan, Freemasonry in Mexico, the Masonic Homes, as well as the routine matters incident to the well-being of our Fraternity, all receive careful attention in the Address, and we rather think that .some things said by the Grand Master will have a lasting effect upon Masonry, not only in Texas, hut elsewhere also. THE MASONIC SERVICE ASSOCIATION. This interest had its innings surely, at this session of the Grand Lodge of Texas. ViTith such brethren as Schoonover, Stock路 well, Otteson, and Randell as its advocates it goes without saying that the Grand Lodge had a 'great time'. The lectures of these brethren were greatly appreciated. GEORGE WASHINGTON MEMORIAL. Texas will be on top with its dollar per ci1.pita.

KU KLUX KLAN. Perhaps, the most important utterance of the year is connected with this matter. More than eight pages of the Grand' Master's Address are occupied with the subject, and it would be 'a good thing if this 'deliverance' could be read in every lodge in the United States, Evidently matters had reached a gravity in Texas almost amounting to a crisis. The Grand Master points out the seriousness of this, and sets before his brethren facts that are incontrovertable, He shows eminent wisdom in refraining from issuing an Edict, and by putting the matter squarely before the individual 10dges in such a way as to secure their immediate co-operatiqn. That this was given is a matter of record that goes far to assure the Fraternity that Texas :Masons will 'still\vork at their Trade', and 'with malice toward none' but 'with Charity to' all' they will go forward and maintain the proud traditions of the past.

For a long time there have been difficulties in Mexico, aEd, with a view to composing these a Commission, consisting of the Grand Masters of Texas, Louisiana, and California, went to the City of Mexico in Augnst, 1921, and held a number of conferences with the brethren of the York Grand Lodge, and the Grand Lodge Valle de Mexico. In his Address the Grand Master of Texas refers to the work of this Commission, and expresses diappointment that the work of the Commission should have been a railure,-IDore or less. At one time it looked as though the two bodies would 1)e brought together, but alas, this did not come to pass, and time will have to elapse before the' much-to-be-desired comsumation takes place. Of course there are two sides to the question, of that we may be sure, but at the present time Texas 'recognizes' the Valle de Mexico, and Missouri does not. Texas does not recognize the York Grand Lodge of Mexico, but Missouri d~es. We may say that since the Commission above mentioned returned from Mexico, our own M. W. Brother Wm. 'F'. Kuhn, in his representative capacity of General Grand High Priest of the General Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons, has been in Mexico, and we . look for further progress in this matter in the near future. \

RELIEF OF .THE GRAND MASTER. The work of a Grand Master is no sinecure. There are more than nine hundred lodges, one hundred and fifteen Masonic Districts, and nearly 110',000 Master Masons in the State of Texas. The correspondence, travel, and general oversight of the Grand Master is a 'man's 'job'-night and day. The Grand Master calls attention to this, and recommends that future Grand Masters be given an Assistant, whose duty it shall be to take care of as much of the correspondence as possible. He also suggests that the Grand Lodge pay all the expenes of the Grand Master on presentation of a list and amount to the Grand Secretary, inasmuch as the orthodox allowance to the Grand Master does not begin to meet the bill, and that, under' present conditions, only rich men could afford to occupy the most exalted position in our Order, which he says, is wrong,--the ideal being that any brother, irrespective of his worldly wealth or honor, shall be elligible to' that position. The Grand Master's recommendations was adopted by the Grand Lodge. The Masonk Homes are in good shape, and ~very other interest of the Grand Lodge indicates progress which is gratifying. ALTOGETHER WORTHY. The following resolution was adopted with a unanimous rising vote: "\Vhereas, our distinguished and beloved Grand Mast.er, Most Worshipful Andrew L. Randell, has, during the past year in the matter of sen'ice, sacrifice and constructive leadership, reno0red to the Masonry of Texas a year of service scarcely equalled and never excelled in the history of this Grand Jurisdiction; and \Vhel'cas, Through his effol路ts, his Masonic foresight, courage and convictions, he has laid out before us a program that challenges the Masonry of the world in its sc.ope, influence and potential possibilities. Therefore, Be it Resolyed, hy the Most \Vorshipful Grand Lodge of Texas, in its Eighty-sixth Annual Communication, That we hereby extend our illustrious Andrew L. Randell, n')w retiring ]\10st. 路Worship-. ful Grand Master, our deep and abiding love and affection for him as a man and as a Mason,. and our sincere thanks and appreciation, and through us, the thanks and ap!Heciation of the 110,000 Masons in Texas, for the st.atesmanlike manner in which he has conducted the office he is no,.". about to vacate, and for the glorious outJool< he has brought to Texas ::\Tasonry through his monumental service.

ANNU AL ADDRESS.

The Grand Master's Annual Addr~ss is a clear-cut document occupying about twelve pages, and abounds in interesting facts. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE.

By far the most important item in the Vermont Proceedings this year is the "pronouncement" on the Masonic Service Association, by Judge Charles H. Darling, Grand Correspondent. As this item is so complete, and representative of those jurisdictions 'who have Hot as yet, entered into the Association, we 'print that part of his Report on Correspondence in full, believing it to be of great interest to our readers. THE MASONIC SERVICE ASSOCIATION The report of the last meeting showed that the pr~sent member~ ship in the Association comprises thil't:Y-five grand jurisdictions; two, namely, New Mexico and the Philippine Islands having been added during the year, and four, Washington, Idaho, Colorado and.... Kentucky having withdrawn. Upon no sUbject has there been more writing and less straight thinking dUI'ing the last year or two than upon this. . vVe made some com,ment upon this Association last year and would not feel it. necessary to say more at this time, but for the great importance that is attached' to the proposed work of the Association by some of its advocates. According to the reports, some of its votaries deem it the greatest thing in Masonr'y of the generation, The Grand Master of Nebraska says: "It is my opinion and I believe concurred in by all who attended this great meeting, that it is the most noted Masonic gathering' ever assembled on this continent." One of the foremost Masons in New England has said: "Personally I regard this Association as the greatest movement that has been undertaken in Masonry since the Revolutionary W'al'," Utah says: "A great power for good in the fraternity." New Jersey says: "Our State cannot afford to remain ~ outsiae of such an organization," North Dakota says: "It was a truly wonderful meeting." South Dakota says: "To my mind the time has arrived for all Masons to fit themeslves mentally and morally for the citizen's, part in promoting unadulterated Americanism, and I feel that :F'reemasol1l'Y can render a tremendous service between it and society."

[Sept.

New Mexico says: "It is certainly desirable that the numerous grand jurisdictions of the United States should have some means of comm,unication and in an emergency some agency through which to express united action," Oklahoma says: _ "1 feel so keenly the need and importance of this Association that I am devoting considerable SI)aCe in my report to it," Con necticu t says: "1 believe the action 'taken at Cedar Rapid~ the most impoI'tant taken by Masonry in my time." Michigan. says: "It is a long and fascinating story and clearly shows that beneath the surface there ran at that time, and still runs, an opposing current of thought which seeks to undermine and would destroy our Masonic nad Protestant institutions if permitted to have full sway; theretore, as Masons, we must be united upon the main issues of our belief, and the Masonic Service Association provides that lneans of unity which is so vitally necessary." The Grand Master of Massachusetts speaking generally, says: "I earnestly believe that Masonry must drop some of its ages-long conservatism and become a more practical and active agency in the settj~ment of the problem which now so vitally concerns not only the life of our nation, but the happiness and welfare of all its people." In vie',,,' of theRe claims, let us review the origin and accomplishments of this Association up to the present time. It grew out of an attempt on the part of some very worthy brethren to go overseas a3 representatives of American Masonry during the war. Passing over their authority to represent American Masonry, which we deny, they met with difficulty in getting the government to endorse their plan and provide them with passports, which the leaders of this Masonic Service ~~ssociation now declare was owing to the sinister influence of the Knights of Columbus, and the Roman Catholic Church. But it is not to be overlooked that these Masons were not treating with the Roman Catholic Church but were dealing directly with the government. So if the Roman Catholic Church exercised any influence it was upon the government itself; and the M.asons thereby took the position of entering into a controversy with the government at a time when the government was already overburdened with its own duties in carrying on the war. But, be that as it may, judging- from the accounts and reports in the Grand Lodge Proceedings, it is the purpose ot the Association to so l)l'epare for the next war that when it comes the Masons will be in position to cope with the Roma.n Catholic Church and dictate terms to the governmellt. Now ,'ire say: -:First: That while we believe in preparedness, we maintain that llreparation for war 0'1' getting o'n a war footing, is not a function of Masonry; but, on the ,other hand, if any organization is justified in working for permanent peace and if 'Masonry as an institution were to go outside of its regular pursuits, it is preeminently an

1922. ]

173

institution of peace and should be engaged in promoting the permanent peace of the \"lorld rather than in preparation for war. Second: That Masonry has no connection with or any duty to perform with referenee to the Knights of Columbus or the Roman Catholic Church or any other particular church 01' organization. And we have been early taught to avoid alt' arguments and quarrels whereby our zeal for Masonry might suffer us to exceed the bounds of discretion. Third: It is the, duty of. Masons to conform with cheerfulness to the government of our country; and it was our duty to support and maintain the government in .the last war and it will be our duty not to rebel against it in the next. Having been more or less connected with the American National Red Cross and with the proceedings of the Cedar Rapids Convention before us, we have taken occasion to compare the two and set the entire purposes of the Masonic Service Association as stated in路 the Cedar Rapids Convention, over against and in paralJel column with a partial statement of the purposes of the Red Cross as found in the first and fifth seqtions, Congressional Charter, to \"lit: MASONIC SERVICE AMERICAN RED CROSS ASSOCIATION "Object" Sees. Fil'st and Fifth "The object of the Association "To fui'nish volunteer aid to shall be the service of mankind the sick and wounded of armies through education, enlightenin time of war. ment, financial relief and Masonic Visitation, particularly in And to continue and carryon times of disaster and distress, a system of national nd interwhether caused by \var,: pesnational relief in tim.e of peace tilece, famine, fire, flood, earthquake, or other calamity; and and to apply the same in m itipresently and immediately regating the sufferings caused by lieving the members of the frapestilence, famine, fire, floods ternity, their dependents, and and othe'r great national calamothers engaged in the United States forces,' in the present ities, and to devise and carryon great war, wherever they 'may measures for preventing the he stationed and upon Whatever same." duties engaged in the service." Thus it would se.em that this Association, which its votaries deem of. the first importance, the greatest in the line of Masonic achievement, perhaps ever witnessed or experienced on this continent, the greatest in our tim-e or since the Revolution, is at most a sort of a side show of the Red Cross: . For our part we feel no pride in the proposition that its greatest achievement is to hold a secondary place to anything. Not but that other institutions and other organizations are greater in their way, not that the Masonic institution is the greatest institution in the world; but in its own particular line, that is to say, within its own field of operation, it stands alone and is second to none and has no 路second. And this brings us to the inquiry of just what Masonry is and just what arc the misconceptions

174

Appendix.

[Sept.

of its friends and just why the Masonic Service Association is a departure from Masonry and is a mistake and is one of the evidences that the world unrest has invaded the field of Masonry. That a large num;bcr of Grand Masters and Past Grand Masters, whether they had anything else to do or not is immaterial and whether they \vent because their Grand路 Jurisdictions paid their expenses, is not particularly important at this point, but that a large 'number of Grand Masters and Past Grand Masters convened at Cedar napids and again at St. Louis and had a glorious time, we have no doubt. That a great Masonic purpose was served or that it was for the good of Masonry or that it was a Masonic purpose at all, we have .very grave doubts. The reply that the friends of the Association have already made and will make that "only those who were present can have any conception or know anything about the meeting" is not well taken because there has been no failure to give publicity to what took place at the meetings, nor has there been any lack of enthusiastic reports t1~at have been made to the jurisdictions represented, which have been commented on and discussed at leng路th as they appear in our Grand Lodge Proceedings. More than a majority of the Grand Lodges' have joined the Association and have submitted to an annual tax of tJ.ve cents per capita which, if all the jurisdictions should come in, would amount to over one- hundred thousand doltars annually. This amount, accor路ding路 to the Grand Master of Connecticut, Proceedings 1920, pag'e 61, is "to meet the expenses of the Cedar Rapids Conference for' printing, stenography, etc.," and because the convention "decided unanimously that it was not consonant with the dignity of Masonry to fix a smaller amount," and this in face of the Fourth article of the declaration of principles of the Association, as follows: "vVc believe that thrift is a patriotic duty; that economy is a CIVIC vir'tue, and that waste in any form, is un-Masonic, unpatriotic and vicious." This Association having insisted itself upon a goodly number of Grand Lodges and provided a fairly liberal sum for expenses now declares its .platfol'm "to be as broad as the Universal Principles of Freemasonry." And having established itself upon such a platform, the Association is prepared to undertake any work that could be undertaken by a National Gr"and Lodge and, therefore, at its last general congress declared that it had no in ten lion of becoming a Natioi1al Grand Lodge. And why should it? vVhat's in a name'? On this subject the Masonic Service Association is content and not difiposed to qualTel; and the old advocates of a National Gn~nd Lodge for once are seemingly silen t an~ satisfie'd. The fundamental objection to this Masonic Service Association lies in the fact that it is based entirely upon a misconception of Masonry, its purposes and its principles. Masonry has nothing whatever to do with outside institutions, 'either civil, military or religious, It is purely and entrely a fraternal organization and its purpose is to serve those who are members of it. It is made up of a select bod~' of men, It receives none except thos'e who vol~ntarily apply for admission, It is one of the first rules of the order that brethren

1922. J

17S

shall not solicit applications for membership, Before an applicant can be received, he must show that he is physically sound and capable of earning- a living for himself and family, and is moral and uprig'ht before God and of g-ood repute before the world, ,Ve will not knowingly receive into our Order an old man in 'his dotage, a young man in nonage, an athiest, a libertine, a mad man or a fool. On the entrance of a new member into the Lodg'e, \'Ire obligate him by strict and irrevocable ties to d~ the things required 'of and to avoid the things prohibited by Masons to the end that such men when associated together upon a common platform, will seek each other'R welfare equally with their own. The design of the institution iR to make its votaries wiRer, better and consequently happier. It is never to be lost sight of that it is a fraternity. This is its chief claim for recognition among the institutions of the world, Its beauty lies in its philosophy taught by a symbolism based largely upon the figures of Geometry, wherein moral attributes are ascribed to the plumb, the square, tIle level and to rig-Ilt angles, triang'les, circles, horizontals and perpendiculars, and by these the l\:Ia;;on is taught rectitude of life and is admonished to have faith in God and hope in immortality. It is a secret society. Not in th~ sense t.hat its membership and its officers are ;;ecret or that it.s place or time of meeting- or its purposes are secret, but in that it has certain sig'ns and tokens Whereby one may know another in the dark as well as in. the light. This is r:n,ost important and measures large in t.he popularity of the 'Ol'der, '1'he wOl'd "Masonry" even among laymen has corne to mean a close and secret bond. of union, or brotherhood, between friends. This belief, more than any ot.her thing, among all classeR the world over. iR the cause of the present increase in membc/'ship. Men are not joining the Masons because the Masons are seeking to do Red C/'oss work. Such men ,can join the Red CroRS directly, if they wish to. Nor are they joining' the Order that they may become better citizens. Economic and good govel'nm,ent clubs are open to all. Nor are they joining becaUSe thereby they can do much to redeem the world. The church invites such and is ::::eeking members. The fact that it is a secret 1)I'otherhood is the strongest reason Why it should abRtain fl'om alJ interference with outside matters; because its motives are in danger of being- misunderstood. General Grant said with respect to the Old American or Know Nothing Party (Memoirs, Vol. I, p. 213), "All secret, oath-bound 110litical parties are dangerous to any nation, no matter how pUl'e or how patriotic the motives and principles which first bring them together." It was because a crime had been charged upon a secret order that the Morgan episode came so near destroying :Masonry in this country. More than two and a quarter million men are already members in the United States alone and Inany more are daily knocking at our doors for admission. To direct, guide and improve the condition of these men, to mold and mali:e Masons of the newly admitted is work enough for all. T.wo and a quarter million men united upon a platfoi'm of the five points of fellowship make a great and \vorthy insti-

tution and is sufficient to command the admiration and re>;pect of all good. men. If there are those who cannot understand this philosophy; if they cannot respond to the heart throbs of su"ch an institution, it is because they themselves have not the true spirit of fraternalism and lack the milk of human kindness. If they think that they are too broad and are too large minded to stand upon the platform of fraternalism, let them join the church whose mission is the salvation of mankind at large. If they wish to devote themselves to general relief work, let them join the Red Cross that is 'organized for that purpose. If they wish to do more for the State. let them enter the realm of practical politics, wherein they may find a field for statesmanship and larger political activities; but if they wish to do more for Masonry, let them study the great field of '. fraternalism and then let them go on foot, and 04t of their way to help their needy brethren. Let them rememher their brother's weaknesses in all their applications to Qiety; let them keep their brother's interests and welfare close to their own hearts. Let them stretch out their hands to aid and assist the fallen; and let them whisper good counsel into the ears of their brethren and in the most kindly manner remind them of their faults and endeavor to help and smooth out their pathway of life. This work is absolutely individual and to accompliSh it Masons must meet upon this common platform and not be weary in well doing. The Lodges call for this kind of service and they are the basis of Masonr:',.. A meeting of all the Grand Masters in the world will not accomplish it. The spreading of all the propaganda in Christendom will not accomplish it. To accomplish this men and jurisdictions that are advocating centralization and united power, must right about face and get right down into these Lodges and do their work there. Ours is the greatest and strongest fraternal institution in the w'orld. This is platform and purpose enough for one institution. To depart from the principles of Masonry as a strictly fraternal institution is to dissipate its strength and undermine its foundations. To maintain it as a fraternity we must keep the "home fires burning" in the hom.e Lodges. Two and a quarter million membp.rs kept Masonically sound, will leaven the wl101e countI-y so thal, as \Vehster said, in dedicating' the Monument at Bunkel' Hill: "D~sj)ondj!lg' patriotism may turn its e~res hitherward and be assul'cd that the . foundations of our national POWCI' still stano strong."

The utterances of the Grand Mas~er show wisdom and scholarship. We quote from his closing remarks the follOWing paragraphs, from which .our readers may gather that he has given a good deal of . thought and study to present world conditions: A. very acute writer in a recent number of the "Nineteenth Century" said that humanity must ultimately, owing to the inordinate

progI"eSS on the lines indicated, come to annihilation and destruction unlef;s the moral law of nature overtakes scientific and mechanical development. It seems to me that to enable this to be done individual responsibility must receive more recognition. The war has encOUl"aged the idea that it is only the m.ass formations, only the machinery of human numl>ers, only the conoentrated focussing- of force that really count. Theoretically, we insist on freedom of speech and liberty, but this theory is negatived by practice in all directions. The true aim of Freemasonry is to make sacred the idea of individual responsibilit.y for individual aets, deeds and motives. Our ritual must not be only beautiful, but it must be made absolutely practical. Although necessarily, the principles of Freemasonry cannot be concretely expressed, yet they can receive such practical application as will render the Institution one of the great stable forces of the moral influenc€f; in every commu~1ity.

For how far its benefits '''ill extcnd no man can tcll, even had he the prophetic 'Yisdor11 of all Isaiah or the vision of John. .And as I think ot the hosts of sick who will, in the years to com(~, enter and leave its portals, I wonder if we realize how many sick souls are in the world today. \Vhat supcrb structures everywhere are being raised and equipped for the healing of the bodies of men. Oh! my brethren, wl'iere are the hospitals for the sick souls that are today thronging thc streets of our cities, walking amidst the homes of our _towns and dwclling in the country, where surely body and soul should be well and strong. The world is very sick today. My friends, there are men and women and children starving and in rags, there are myriads of cripples and blind and halt and maimed, relics of the wickedest war in the history of the world. But there are far more with souls so diseased-with hearts so wounded and spirits so maimed and broken-that walk like pestilences in our very midst as well as 'in far off lands, and who ncvcr asl<, "Is there balm in Gilead?" "Is there a 11hysician thcl:e?" They, many of thcm, do EOt know how ill they [d'e.

The soul's diseases are CiS varied a::: the diseases of the body-and yet no harder to be easily diagnosed. Love of pleasure; hatred of honest toil; gTeed; lust; dishonesty; lack of reverence, not only of parents and of elders, but of law and order. Encouragers of discord and anarchy, advocates of violations of law, because the law seems to them not to accord with their own views. Drunkenness, idleness, envy, disconten t, co\;etousness-Oh! these are but a few of the diseases of the soul it rCfjuires no sldlled physician to recognize, and there are so many others of greater or less malignity. \V ha t are you and I, Oh, my friends, doing to help stay the march of this pestilence that is stalking alike in noonday and in the shado\Vsof the night? '\There are the hospitals w~ are building? "VI'here are thc physicians and nurses we are employing? Mayhap we, too, are ill-tainted 'with these same diseases and do not recognize their danger to the world. Isn't ir time to wake up from our "sleeping sickness?" Is it not time to turn our attention to the need of an active, earnest effort on the part of every man and woman to try to help in the redemjjtion of the world?

ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY-FOURTH ANNUAL COMMUNICATION. The One Hundred and Forty-fourth Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of Virginia was held in the Masonic Temple, in the City of Richmond, Va., on Tl.!esday, February 14, 1922. The Grand Lodge was opened in Ample Form. GRAND MASTER'S ADDRESS. This starts well, with the following: Masonry appears to have entered upon an era of unusual activity. The great increase in Masonic membership all-over the world is attracting much attention. The trend of the mass-thought is to Masonry. \Vhy? Numerous reasons have been assigned. The prime reason I deem to be the app~al' to the intellect and conscience of mankind, made by Masonry, standing. unscathed and unchanged amid the v,,-reck of nations, amid the ruin, destruction and devastation made by the world war and amid the bitter hatred engendered by and the deadly_strife of that. war, giving to Masons neutral g.oullds where hatred ceased and deadly strife is superseded hy brotherly Jove. It has been gratifying to Jearn of the efforts being made in some parts of the State to instill into the members a deeper knowledge of the greatness of l\路lasonry; efforts which are tending to make .Masons out of members. These efforts should be encouraged. The forms and ceremonies of initiation and the lectures furnisll the alphabet only of Masonry. They do not, of themselves, make any man a Mason, but only a member. Too oi"ten this member <1o~s not use this alphabet; he will not learn to spell and then to'read, anti having read, to understand, and rushes on into the so-called "higher Degrees" with little knowledge or appreciation of those through which he has passed. It is this spirit that 'seeks to change the alphabet, because of lack of underst.anding. It would, through ignorance, tear dO''''n the very foundation stones on which the whole super structure of Masonr~' is erected. Nothing would do so much for the good of the Craft as to awaken in the hearts and minds of our meI1'.1bers a deep, unquenchable thirst for Masonic knowledge, and an increasing demand for such additional light as will reveal that great, underlying, living something which makes our Ancient Institution the most vigorous and helpful of a'll organizations for making its members God-fearing, law-abiding, useful citizens of the great Repablic, founded by Masons on Masonic principles.

Then comes the detail: Visitations, Invitations, Appointments, Decisions, Dispensations, etc. The Grand Mas'ter accepted an invitation to a Special Communication of his home lodge on March 7, on which occasion he was

presented with a Silver Loving Cup, which he greatly appreciated. He says, however : "Under present conditions this cup is purely ornamenta,l, and prospects for a change in those conditions are not bright." BY-LAWS. The Grand Master says: "I have examined and approved ByLaws and Amendments to By-Laws of forty-eight lodges. Nearly all the amendments approved for an increase in either fees to be charged for conferring degrees 01' for an increase in dues." DECISIONS. Among these are the following which are of interest: That a Lodge could entertain the petition of a candidate, who stated and claimed that he resided within its jurisdiction, and who unquestionably had lived all of his life within and under its jurisdiction until ahout four yeal'S prior to presenting' his petition; but who during l3aid four years had been working in an ad.ioining Grand ',Jurisdiction, and路 had taken his \vife with him to the placc where he worked, leaving and maintaining, however, his furnished home within the jurisdictio.n of the Lodge, in which furnished home, for three summers during the four years, his wife resided and he spent with her each 'week-end during said summers. That "once a Mason al\vays a "!.\'[ason" of some Degrel~ of honor, or of dishonor, and that sURpension or witho.rawal from a Lodge does not prevent one from being tried and punished for 3. Masonic offense by a Lodge having jurisdiction. This decision is based on the learned opinion of District Deputy Grand Master A. S. Higgins.

GRAND HISTORIAN. The Grand Master recommended the appointment of a Grand Historian,. and his recommendation was adopted, our good friend and Brother, Past Grand Master Dr. Joseph W. Eggieston, Grand Correspondent rece!ving the honor of apPGintment. THIS IS INTERESTING. The financial condition o'f the Grand Lodge il3not yet such that wc can reduce our mortgagc debt. This should be done and has been our desire and hope to do. We arc, however, able to report, that we have redueed our floating debt and have only used $4,036.27 of the dues of the coming fiscal year, 1922-1923. A t the last Annual Communication, it was resolved, that the Masonic Home shOUld )'cccive ten cents additional per ~apita for the year. This was cons~rued to mean, that it should be paid out of receipts for 1922-1923. The Board of Governors of the Home main, tained, however, that the money should be available during the year

just closed, hence we paid the Home th~ amount of $3,513.60. We beg to renew our recommendation to omit the printing of the entire roster of membership in the Proceedings of the Grand Lodge; we should publish a list of the officers, all initiations, withdrawals, suspensions and dea ths, but pUblish the entirf, list of members, say every three or five years. We can save anywhere from fifteen to eightcen hundred dollars on each publication by this method and the intercsts of t.he Craft will be well taken care of. . We urge again upon this Grand Lodge to practice ceonomy in our expenditures: vVe must try and reduce our debt, and if our advice is heeded,. '\ve can accomplish it.

FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE.

This ~eDort is the unique work of our good Brother, Jos. W. Eggleston, and is good reading. The last of a long line of Confederate Soldiers to preside over the Craft in Virginia's Grand Jurisdiction, Dr. Eggleston now gives uplift and illumination to his brethren thl:ough his Report on Correspondence. There is not a dull page in it, and his sentiments-weIl,-we e.ndorse a great many of them. Even thoug!J our space is so limited we must give the following which Dr. Eggleston quotes from .the Grand Master of Arkansas: ",Ve get so very tired of t.he usual stereotyped "conclusion" of the addresses we read, that the following is a relief indeed, and a joy. ",Vhy cannot all Grand Masters tah:e the trouble to give the brethren they are supposed to serve something' of the kind according' to the-.it路 abilities? Probably no member of the Fraternity has been more b(:!H路t1ted during thc past. year than your Grand Master. It has becn to him an education and a revelation. H'e has learned much of human nature, made wonderful discoveries and realized that a Mason can adorn his pcr:-<onwith a wealth of jewelry and not enrich his m.ind with a single g'em of our beautiful teachings. Your Grand Master belongs to the various so-called Higher DegTeeS and has no objection to them, but rather feels that an~.. Mason who can .afford to do so, and is well versed in the kno".;]edge of tile Symbolic Degrees, should get all' he can; but he does feel that a person ,,,-ho joins every branch of the In~titution merely to weal'. jewelry is not benefiting himsclf. Visiting a. cel'ta.in lodge, yoU!' Grand Mastel' found the WorshipfUl :.\Iaster much troubled because he had a visitor who could not prove himself. At the request of the \Vorshipful Mastel', your servant 'Ncnt to the Committee room and found a brother taking a cigarette tl'om a silver case upon which was enameled. the Square and Compass. vVe remark~d, "That is a nice case." The visit~r replied: "It cost me seven dollars; I bought it when I tool( t he Third Degree. I paid forty dollars for the Degrees." Question after .question was asked, and no answer could he give that would prove he had received any. thing for his forty-seven dollars. Vi'e noticed a pair of cuff buttons,

1922. ]

183

on each was a Keystone. \VA were informed they cost fifteen dollars and he had purchased them wilen he was made a Royal Arch Mason, and further enlightened us that the Chapter Degrees had set him back twent~'-five dollars. Seeing a beautiful I{.nights Templar Char'm, your servant discovered that this chal'm together with the Commandery Degr'ees had cost two hundred and fifty dollars morc. Commenting upon a ring the visitor displayed, as he lig'hted his cigarette, hroug'ht forth the information that this ring and the f)(;ottish Rit.e Degrees had separated t.he visitor from three hundrea American dollars. and yet he could not work his way int.o a Blue Lodg-e. Seeing- a button on his coat, we asked: "How much did t.ha.t ('ost. you?" \\'jt.h a face light.ed u)) with a smile the decorated brother replied: "My wife gave me that when I joined the Shrine, but. I paid sevcnt~'-ejght dollars for the Degree. which inclued the Fez." vVe were glad to learn that the good brot.her had at least onc piece of jewelry that cost him nothing, hut t.he brother continued: "The Shrine is the playgl'ound of ::'.fasol1l'Y, and I am glad that I have all thcre is in :Masonry and am at. the top." Poor deluded man! He had paid seven hundred and fifteen dollars to get all there was in :Masonry--he rcmembered that, but. not a word of the Ritual, not a beauty, not a leEson. For his seven hund路red and fifteen dollars he had gott.en nothing. Money will not purchase the beauties of our l\'{ysteries. The~l must come through the heart and mind and not through the purse. Before yOU can see all gems and beautics of our bcloved Order revealed in their grandeur, you must have a vision. Columbus ""as not the only man \vho stood upon the seashore and gazed toward the west; but he alone had a vision. The others saw only the horizon. Columbus saw beyond a land which proved to be America. Beethoven lived a,midst the same environments as his fellow-musicians; breathed the same atmosphere, yet his ear alone caught. the immol'tal strains of the "Moonlight Sonata." vVe see in marble only rough stone, yet. the sculptor see::; in that sam'e rough stone the vision of an angel, and with his mallet and ch isel, reveal!> it to the' world. The greilt Shakespeare said: "Money is the slave t.o thousands," yet it will not purchase for you love, happiness or immortality. It will not give you a single lasting 1)leasure; it will not buy for anyonc the grand character and perfect manhood which Masonry endeavors to build. You mllst fir;;t have the vision, and then to get all thel"e is in Masonry, you must stUdy its Ritual, search for its ideals, ~h'e its wonderful teachings, become thoroughly imbued with its spit'it !"o that ~路ou will reflect its beauties upon all with wl'\com you come in contact; overcome a.nd sllbdue your passions, render service to ~'Olll' fellowman, give your best to our Hea vellly Father, and then when ~路OUt路 days on earth are over and you will make that journey to the foreign country fron1 which no one has ever retunled, you will fi nd t he great secret fOt" which all men should search. '1~o Missouri our Brother is very complimentary. He Quotes our M. W. Brother Kuhn's Report on Mexican :F'reemasonry in full.

The Proceedings of the Grand Lodge of Washington for the year 1921 are contained in a dainty volume, bov!!d in true blue, and

introduced w.ith a life-like cut of M. W. Brother James H. Begg, the retiring Grand l\Iast.er. In another part of the volume we find the pictures of Past Gil'and Masters, Nathan Smith Porter, Levi Ankeny, and Yancey Crawford Blalock, all of whom have entered into the everlasting rest and refreshment of the Grand Lodge on High.

THE SIXTY-FOURTH ANNUAL COMMUNICATION of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Free and Acc,~pted Masons or the State of Washington convened in the City of Spokane on Tuesday the 14th day of June, 1921, and was called _to order by the Most Worshipful Grand Master, James H. Begg, at the hour of ten o'Clock, a. m., with the Grand Officers in their respective stations and 路places. On roll call by the Grand Secretary, a constitutional number of lodges were reported represented, all the lodges being represented with the exception of eight. Thirty-nine Grand Jurisdictions were represented by brethren present at the session. After an invocation by W. Brother Rev. Harry M, Painter, the Grand Master, assisted by his officers, opened the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge in Ample Form, on the third degree of Masonry.

DISTINGUISHED "rSITORS. Most Worshipful Brother E. M. Hutchinson, Past Grand Master or the Grand Lodge of Montana, was introduced and invited to a seat in the Grand East.

ADDRESS OF WELCOME. W. Brother Parker W. Kimball, on behalf of the Spokane Lodges tendered a cordial welcome to the Grand Lodge, in an address路 which we fain would reproduce for the benefit of our readers, did space permit. At the request of the Grand Master, R. W. Brother Tom W. Hqlman, Junior Grand. Warden, responded on behalf of the Grand Lod~e.

ADDRESS OF THE GRAND MASTER. The Grand Master's Address is good reading, and is .replete with items of great interest. When it is bo~ne in mind that our distinguished Brother was practically a sick man during the whole of his term of office it is a marvel that he was able to do the work which his address shows to have been done. The Grand Master's reference to the FRATERNAL DEAD is exceedingly beautiful, and his recommendation in connection therewith that a brother be designated to speak of the virtues of each of the three deceased Past Grand Masters, 'ater in the session met with cordial agreement. TRIP TO ALASKA. The Grand Master, despite his physical condition, not only attempted to officially visit the lodges in Alaska, but, from his description thereof it would seem that the visit almost amounted to a 'Royal Progress'. We wish that our space permitted a reproduction of this entire paragraph for the benefit of our brethren in Missouri. GEORGE WASHINGTON MEMORIAL. The Grand Master also, in spite of medical warning to the con- \ trary, made the trip to Alexandria, Va., and attended the meeting of the George 楼.rashington Memorial Association. He added enthusiasm to the gathering by assuring that body that the Grand Lodge of\Vashington would not be one bit behind in its duty to that enterprise.

STILL VISITING. On his way home from Alexandria, the' Gra]~d Master paid a brier visit to the Masonic Homes of the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania, at Elizabethtown, Pa. Seeing fOI' himself the wonderful work which bas been done by our Pennsylvania Brethren, and getting fully acquainted with their method of raising t.he necessary funds, the Grand MastE~l" on his' return to his Grand Lodge suggested that Washington Masons 'do likewise'. And his recommendation in substance, was unanimously adopted. From a 'year's experience in Missouri. on similar lines, we lmow that the plan will 'work', NEW LODGES. The Grand Master 'Constituted six new lodges, and installed the officers. DECISIONS. The Grand Master rendered a number of decisions, but indicated, as have so many of his colleagues in that office, that very few requests for a ruling on the part of the Grand Master need be made if brethren would but look up the law for themselves, MASONIC RESEARCH AND EDUCATION. The Grand Lodge a year or two ago pulled out from the Masonic Service Association, giving what it considered good and sufficient reasons for so doing. But the work of Masonic Education has by no means been neglected, and the Grane Master has the following to say about it: This Grand Lodge has takc,n a wise step in providillg for a mort< extensive system of Masonic research and education than was deem~d necessary in its eadier years. I trust that t11is step will be followed and quickened from year to year, until we can honestly boast that we have in thi~ Grand Jurisdiction as well instxucted a Craft as can be found in the entire United States. To carry out this worthy purpose, it will be necessary to increase the facilities thus far provided, for the necessity is growing apace. ViTe are talking into our Masonic body an immense number of worthy young men, and to them we owe the duty of furnishing all possible means for their educa.tion in our mystel'ics and in the miSsion and philosophy of our great路 universal institution. You have already manifested so clear a conception of this paramount duty that there is. no need to do mOI'e than barely to mention it. in this message. .

REPORT ON CORRESPONDENCE. This is from the pen of Brother Ralph C. McAllaster, and is topical in its form, dealing with a number of 'live issues' that are before the Craft at large. Brother McAllaster is well able to handle 'himself in this work, and his report is equal to any that have gone before it. In his 'Conclusion' he says: "The outstanding feeling that comes to us from our reading for the year is that Masonry is more and more seeking the 'Liine-light'路". And some other things, that engage his attention are timely.

Each of these Communications was opened in Ample Form, with solemn prayer by the Grand Chaplain. Although the business transacted was almost all of purely local' interest, its tenor dis~ played a wholesome spirit, and the addresses of the Grand Master, though short, were forceful, and showed a familiarity with Masonic work, history and traditions, which can only be born of long years of faithful service. During the course of the proceedings the Grand Master m,entions an invitation to the Officers of the Grand Lodge to attend the Centenary Celebrations a:t Sydney, under the auspices of the Grand Lodge, N. S. W., and cites the fact that a gathering of Freemasons took place in Sydnew in 1803, and that it i~ a m,atter of record that "several of the officers of his Majesty's ships, together with some respectable inha,bitants of Sydney" petitioned the Governor for permission to establish a Masonic Lodge; the petition was refused, and the leading spirits of the movement were d'eported to Tasmania! "Masonic meetings were prohibited, and the Governor declar.ed that every soldier and other person would have been made a Freemason, had not the most decided measures heen taken to prevent it." However. te路 quote the Granll Master, "Va.rious Military Lodges wer'e at work in Sydney prior to 1816, but in that year the Irish Lodge named "The Social and Military Virtues", held regular meetings in Sydney, and no ri.()l.lbt initiated many candidates." With regard to the "coming of age" of the Grand Lodge of Western Australia,. we quote the Grand Master: vVorshipful Brethren and Brethren,-The 27th Fcbruary, 1900, will always be looked upon as the Red Lettcr day of Freemasonry in Western Australia, for it was on that day that the Grand Lodge of Western Australia came into existence, and although we are still three days short of reaching our maturity' we have ch'osen this Communication to celehra I.e our "Coming' of Age." Looking' back on the 21 years that have l)assed I can see many changes in the Craft, but it is a source of great comfort to know that. the majorit~' of the Foundation Officers of the Grand Lodge are still with us. Accordingl~" on the 27th February, l!lOO, t.he Gl'and Lo'dge of \Ve;;tern Australia entered into its Constitutional existence at Government House. It is a coincidence worthy of note as being in keeping with the Craft's loyalt~' to the Throne that not only have many of the Vice-Regal Representatives been members of the Order, but the foundations of the Craft were actually laid by a Governor, His Excellency Bro. John Hutt, who founded- the Lodge of St. John at Goveriiment Hou~e in 1843. It was ther~fore quite fitting that the Grand Lodge of the Colony ~hould be inaugurated at the same place and under the same happy auspices. His Excellency, Sir Gerard

Smith, having been chosen as the first Grand Master, very kindly placed the Ball Room of Government House at the disposal of Grand Lodge for the holding of the Inaugural Ceremony. Kever before in the history of Freemasonry in \Vestern Australia had such a spectacle been witnessed as that afforded by the large gathering of brethren who assembled to take part in the ceremony. It was estimated- that nearly a thousand were present from all parts of the State and representing all the Constitutions of Australia as well as those路 of the United Kingdom. As an officer of the Grand Lodge of England I was invited by the Executive Committee to act as Installing Grand Officer, so I had the unique distinction as well as the great pleasure of placing in the Chair of the Itoyal Solomon the first Grand Master of Wes~ern Australia. I was assisted by the District Grand Master of the English Constitution, Bro, John Arthur Wright, and Bro. J. P. W~lton as Acting Grand Director of Ceremonies.

.THE TWENTY-FIRST ANNUAL COMMUNICATION. wa! held in Freemasons' Hall, Perth, on Thursday, May 26, 1921. The Grand Lodge was opened in Ample Form by the M. W. Grand Master, the Most Rev. C. O. L. Riley, D. D., O. B. E., V. D., (Archbishop of Perth,) at 6 P. M. II .. THE ANNUAL ADDRESS, was a docll,ment of only six pages, but seems to present adequately the. year's work, and deals forcefully with several questions upon which the opinions of Masons differ, notably the one of "politics", upon which subject we quote the Grand Master as follows:I cannot see that any good is likely to arise by the Craft, as such, taking part in any public ~ovement, however noble and praiseworthy. and I am certain that such a course would be fraught with disaster, and wo~ld in the end eventually lead to strife and dissension in our own ranks. \Vith the Freemason himself it is different. The lessons he has learned in the Lodg'e fit him in a peculiar degree for the discharge of his duty as a citizen, and if he has given much thought to these he will be an asset to tbe community in whatever Cal)acity he may he called upon to serve. In other words he wil) practise outside the Lodge those duties he has been taught within it, and so prove to the world the beneficial effects of our ancient institution in the making of a good citizen. I am not at all sUl'e bu t that the very fact ~hat we keep quiet and make no display, wbile tbe world knows we are united and determined to defend loyalty, has not a greater power in the community than if we proclaimed our determination from the housetops. A secret po,,,e,', which can he called into action at any moment, and a loyal body evel'Y member of which is read~' t.o defend '.... ith honour the principles for which he stands, has called forth the ut-

most hatred from our enemies and the enemies of our country. is the greatest compliment that eould be paid to us.

Twenty-three Official visitations were made by the Grand Master, and fourteen Dispensations were granted for the usual technical pUfl1oses. CHARITY AND FINANCES. The Grand Master states that the year's work, in connection with the "Widows', Orphans' .and Aged Freemasons' Fund is as "gratifying as it is astonishing", and mentions that the two charities, since the establishment of Grand Lodge, have distributed the s..u m of-13,877 pounds. The report of the Grand Treasurer shows a healthy financial condition, the credit balance for the Fund of Benevolence being 8,589 pounds, that of the Widows', Orphans', and Aged Freemasons' Fund, 16,062 pounds, and the grand total of the various credit balances, 44,171 pounds.

FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE. The Chairman of this Committee, in making his report, stat~s that it is this year,-1920-21,-"of mOre than unusual interest, on account of the world's unrest and associate problems, the solution of which is engaging the attention of the Craft everywhere",' and adds that last year he ha(1" disposed of over 400 copies, and that, with one exception, every lodge accepted and paid for the four copies sent them, and that some lodges purchased a copy for each candidate raised during the year, "a practice worthy of imitation." The work of the Fraternal Review is shared by the members of the committee, and covers 54 Grand Jurisdictions. Ability and kindness of spirit is fully evidenced' in these reviews, as they deal with the matters of general interest in each report, in a most kindly and complimentary spirit. Missouri is not reviewed .

GRAND MASTER'S ADDRESS. This takes up but fourteen pages of the Proceedings, but is well arranged, and takes up the work of the year in readable form.

FRATERNAL DEAD. The Grand Master refers in tender terms to the loss sustained by the Grand Lodge through the passing of Past Grand Master, '1'. 'V. Hennen, and also refers to the distinguished dead of other Grand .Jurisdictions. GEORGE WASHINGTON MEMORIAL. The Grand Master refers to this and sputks enthusiastically' of the brother to whom the work in West Virginia is entrusted, hoping tflat his. efforts will be crowned with success. He also reports that many of the lodges of the 'jurisdiction ohserved the 169th an,niversary of Washington's initiation into the mysteries of Freemasonry. MASONIC SERVICE ASSOCIATION. The Grand Master refers to an invitation to attend or to send' a representative to the Third Annual Meeting of the Masonic Service Association at Chicago, but says that it would be hardly expedient for him to do so, inasmuch as the Grand Lodge in 1919 had d~c1ined to ask for membership in the Association.

CORNER STONES LAID. The Grand Lodge of West Virginia had cl busy year in this line, no less than twenty-five Special Communications being held for this purpose.

DECISIONS.

The Grand Master reported none, saying that practically every question suhmitted to him was sufficiently settled by a reference to the law and a long line of decisions already made. The Grand Master closes his address \vi;;h the follo\ving poem: 'Tis only a half truth the ]Joel. has 8ung, Of the hou~e by the side of the way; Master had neither a house nor a horne, ,But He walked with the crowd day hy da.",

A nd I think when I read of the poet's desire, Thn t a house by the road would be good; But service is found in its tenderest form. \Vhen we walk \'V'ith the crowd in the rondo So I say, let me walk with the men in the road, Let me seek out the burdens that crush; Let me speal< a kind word of good cheer to the weal, \'"ho are falling behind in the rush.

The Committee on Foreign Correspondenee recommended the recognition of the United Grand Lodge of (~ueensland, which was done. In the case of Venezuela, the Committee declined to endorse the n~quest for recognition until evidence is given of its ~ntire freedom from Grand Orient control. FOREIGN CORRESPONDJ<JNCE. This report is the work of our veteran, Past Grand Master George . W. Atkinson, and is his thirtieth. It is gaod from beginning to end, anrl interesting in every line. From his Foreword we quote: The Greek orator, 1socrates, at the age of 94.Wl'otC <In addl'ess for a festival in the year 342 B. C. He describes the results of good education thus: "I call those educated who use ,veil the ordinal'~' occurrence~ of everyday life and whose judgment always hits the right nail upon the head, and as seldom as possible. misses the golden mean; those whose' intercourse with other people is always decent and just; who make little of the vexations and annoyances which othe.rs cause them, and show themselves as considerate and reasonable as possible; those who are neither carried off their feet b~.. pleasure nor crushed by misfortune; who in prosperity and adversit~Âˇ alike bear themselves like men, as' befits the dig'nity of human nature. Those who are not spoiled by success, who do not lose theil' -heads and become arrogant, but remain upon the side of men of good will, in harmon~" with all these points, I call men of undel'standing and of virtue."

ADDRESS OF THE GRAND MASTER. This document, covering 27 pages, is well路arranged, reflects the work of the Craft in the Grand Jurisdiction of Wisconsin for the year last past with great clearness. There are many passages of gi eat merit which, did space permit, we would gladly reproduce for the benefit of Our readers . . Spealdng of. things in general, the Grand Master says': During- this mig-hty period of world history the great common,,:ealth of\Visconsin has risen t.o eminence in world .affairs. Her scholars and soldiers and philanthropists have become world famous, and the st.ate whose motto is "Forward," has kept faith with the onward march of the world's progTess, So that there is no hig-her star in the constellation of "Columbia" than the planetary 01'1> !,nown as 路\Visconsin.

Like the building- of the old cathedrals the time element has been an imllol'tant factol' in the building of the great house of. Masonr~', The Architect of Time has supplemented the genius of J1.1Ctn and together t.hey h:ne produced the noble edifice of our Craft as it stands today-one of the most notable and permanent contrihutions ministering' to the stability and greatness of the state. All through the years, since the day Masonry first planted her standards in this state, there has never lacked men of noble vision, hel,oic endeavor and the spirit of sacrifice. We feel today the urge of past generations. .Like coral islands built out of the innumerablt" .deposits of sea-animals, the edifice of Masonry has been built out of the endeavol's and sacrifices of past generations of Masons-m~n whose ideal ",'as a house not made with hands, but a fabric that }s eternal.

Fitting and tender reference is also made by the Grand Master to the Fraternal Dead, the Grand .Jurisdiction having lost 519 during the ~Tear, including two Past Grand J.unior Wardens. DECISIONS. The Grand Master rendered a number of Decisions during the STear, most of them being of 'a-Iocal nature. He calls attention to the CONSTITUTION, LAWS AND EDICTS of the Grand Lodge, saying "It frequently becomes necessary to refer to the fundamental laws of the Order. in determi,ning what is

CIPHERS. The Grand Mster was compelled to issue a warning circular to the ledges concerning the use of ciphers, in which' he said: "The use of Ciphers or keys is not only prohibited but constiHItes a Masonic. offense and a flagrant breal\.ing of the fundamental law of the Craft."

COMIVIIT'!:'EE ON CORRESPONDENCE The Report of the Committee, consisting of about 170 pages, is the work of our veteran brother, Aldro Jenks, and is his twentyfourth. The work is characteristic of the man, and is in every way equal to his best. 'Missouri is graciously treated in something m~re than three pages. Speaking of. our membership in the Masonic Service Association, Brother Jenks calls attention as follows: "After considerable discussion the Minority Report was adopted and Missouri continues ~n affiliation with the Association. By so doing it surrenders practically $4,500 annually of its funds, and to that extent impairs its sovereignty."

As usual, the Grand Lodge of 'Wyoming sends out an attractive Annual. Good type and good paper make easy reading, but the absence of an index renders the work of review somewhat tedious. The picture of Grand Master Holliday shows a fine strong face, and the biograljhical sll:eteh whkh follows adds to the faVOi able impression received. Seven Special Communications are reco:'ded, as follows:-For constituting New Lodges, at-Cheyenne, September 23, 1920. Upton, September 27, 1920. Manville, October 2, 1920. Lingle, October 7, 1920.

Wilson opened the Grand Lodge in Ample Form, prayer being offered by R. W. Brother Robert H. Hopkins. ANNUAL ADDRESS.

This is a short document,-only fifteen pages, but is "fine reading", and the Grand Master presents vital facts in a most forceful manner. From his opening paragraphs we quote one, which indicates a happy condition among Wyoming's Brethren, and one worthy of emulation:In the fact that for several years last past, no appeal

has been presented to this Grand. Body, lies an indelible impression

tlla t peace and harmony J)I路evails.

VISITATIONS. The Grand Master made eighteen visitations during the year, and speaks with especial pleasure of his attendance at the semi-anllual

[Sept.

198

meeting of the ,Past Masters' Club. of the Big Horn Basin, at Greyhull, March 17, 1921. Of this meetilHt he says:"This movement .vas one of the m.ost auspicious ever inaugurated in the history of the fl:aternity in Wyoming'. The meeting brought together, mostly by automobile, representatives in large num/bel's of every lodge, except one, in that country. A lodgc performed the work of a cCl'tain section, and then witnessed some other lodge work in some other section. The ' .... hole meetings had the doubli~ effect of unifying degree work and of uniting in brotherly love and communion the l\f.asons of the Big Horn Basin with gTeat good to the fraternity and to the different communities in which the variOus bret hren resided.

Ten Dispensations were granted during tile year, and seven Decisions were rendered, all of which were 3,pproved. Learning the Work of the Third Degree, and "The Succeeding Degrees." These being points of universal interest to the Brotherhood, we quote the Grand Master at some length. LEARNING THE WORK OF THE THIRD DEGREE. The old question of proficiency in the work of the Master Mason's rlegree is still before us. This Grand Body might provide some pena1t~', such as prohibition of cel'tain Masonic privileges. But the wiser course, I feel, is to suspend the conferring of somc final portion of the degree, as shall leave something to be done before the candidate shall be declared a Master Mason, until such time as he shall have committed the required Icctul'e work. I recommend this (or your consideration.

"THE SUCCEEDING DEGREES" In many jurisd.ictions thl'oughout the United States, Grand Lodges are providing fOI' a period of time J'nore or less extended which shall elapse between the making of onc a Master Mason and the priVilege ot: the reeeiving by him of the so-called "higher" degrees in Masono' . .-\s a mattei' of fact there are no "higher degrees" than the first three. All Masons realize that when a man t?kes 'the first three degrees and is entitled to walk and act as a Master Mason, there has been placed '''iithin his mfnd all of the great principles of Masonry which he will ever learn as such. We also know full well that no rnan can live long enough to become a Master of Masonl'Y. It behoo"es Ma.sonry throughout the world, then, to hold its votaries within the blue lodge fold, until they learn or have an opportunity of learn ing, and learning soundly, the basic foundation on whieh the gl'cat structure rests. It is to be admittedt.hat both the York and Scottish Rites explain more fully and by different and beautifUl ceremonies these great l\lasonic t.1路uths. But if a man rushes through the first three degrees and does not pause long enough in Masonic life to 'grasp these tl'uths, and then hurries through the Scottish Rite degrees to the thirty-second degree" 01' through the York to the

The Grand Master notes the fact that this matter of undue haste in the Blue Lodge \Vork' is aronsing the concern of the other Grand Jurisdictions, and cites the action of Nebraska, Colorado, Old ahoma and Illinois on this subject. MASONIC SERVICE ASSOCIATION . . The Grand Master, on September 18, 1020, attended a conference of the members of the North Pacific division of this Association, at Denver, where the present plans of the organization were carefully discussed, as well as the outline of the lectures prepared b~' Brother Schoonover. He states it as his opinion that there is a wonoerful fielo open for service here which this Association may cover, but" at the same time he calls attention to some abuses which might arise, and suggests,-by inference,--th::lt the Grand Lodge place some definite limit upon the appropriations for levies of assessment made by this body upon the Grand Lodge. (We note that the Grand Lodge adopted the report of the committee, which most heartily approved the Association, and recommended taking full advantage of the possibilities found in it, but at the same time followed the suggestion as to limitation' of appropriations.) "OUR DUTY AND OPPORTUNITY." UncleI' this head the Grand l\'faster speaks so wisely and impressively, that we regret we cannot quote him in full, and we are sure our readers .will applaUd the following sen timen tS:The gl'eat 11101':11 forces of the world must h~; their cffort.s train t118 minds of tile people along such lines as will restore confidence and normal conditions, Masonry, as al.\vays, has a commanding position to hold. The pJ'inciples which are the foundation of the fraternity Sllould so impress the minds and heart s of its memhers. so that they shall do th.~ir路 part in uphuilding human chal'acter and consequently government chal'acter. The great forces which stand for the princ.iple of the development of the individual, among which Masonry stai1ds foremost. are drawn up in battle array against the Oriental l'.olslwvist idea of gTOUp thinking:. The world has advanced by the de\'elopment of the individual. The place to develop the individual and to continue is in the public schools. Ideas implanted in the minds of the ~'Ollng' are never effaced, All of the great ideas in the \VOJ'~d are developed b~' the pla~' of individual thinking. A short time ag'o I heard a man say that the trouble with the schools was

Kindly ·and brotherly thought for the struggling mind of the poor boy, has I'esulted in the endo\:vment of the world with its l)enefac(ors and ~en'ants of mankind. Those things, those organizations, tho~e ideas, alone endure which are right before God. Masonry has endU~'ed through the centuries "oith its members handed together under the banner of Brotherly LOVI=, Helief and Truth. It has been said that· "l<'reem.asonry builds its temples in the hearts of man and among nations." That it has principles which appeal to the human mind. as being based on fun(lamental ideas is shown in the fal't thit it (iraws to itself men in all lH~~nche~ of. human endeavor, leaders of all professions and emplo~'ers and employees in every industry. From the time of it.> formation it has stood between radicalism and terrorism on one hand and tyranny on the other and ha~ become the gl'eat mediate stream of human mind and thought which has aided in keeping the world Oil' it~3 IC\'el course through the ages between the' forces of disorder on the one hand and of la\\! ;"\.nd order on the other.

The high cost of maintenance for the past few years docs not show any material reduction and from Government Reports we do not look for much change' until the general conditions of the cl).wtry make a substantial decre'ase in the cost of the necessities' of life. The greatest care is being taken by the Board of Directors in all purchases, so that the high standard the Home has had in the past may be fully 'maintained. ORDER OF THE EASTERN STAR ,As i~l the pastt,he .Advisory Board has been untiring in their efforts in behalf of the Home, having purchased many articles for

In addition they furnished linoleum: in the Old Peoples Building where needed; replenished what dishes was required, also remodeling a large number of the beds in the Children's Dormitory, which they say cost about $5,000.00. ' This shows a saving to the Home and is fully appreciated by the Board and Masons of the State and they have the thanks of the Management for their noble efforts.

September 13, 1922. I have found $60,000 itOSecurities in the hands of the Trustees, as above stated, and路 this amount is being held for the Jewish Hospital Improvement Fund. H. CLAY PERKINS, Auditor. IMPROVEMENTS In the past year a new hot water heater and a boiler with a capacity of 1,800 gallons, )-Vas installed in the boiler room; also have added to the laundry, one extractor, gas heating mangle, also a gas ironer, which aids materially in handling the laundry work. IN CONCLUSION We hope that everyone in attendance at this Session of the Grand Lodge will consider it their duty to visit the Home before returning and thereby learn what is being accomplished in caring for the sick and infirm and ministering to the wants of the good Brethren and Sisters who come under the care of the Masonic Order and also come in contact with the bright faces of the dear boys and girls placed by the Lodges in the Home. Then in going to your homes can tell of the good work of our great Masonic Home and may God be with you until we meet again, is my wish. Fraternally submitted, SOL. E. WAGGONER, PresideHt.

The papers contained in the box were examined. There we found thirty-six loans ranging from $1,000, the lowest, to $15,000, 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 shown in each instance to be in the borrower. . Thp. principal of the loans aggregat'e $164,475. The interest received was $11,499.09. The interest due on all loans has been paid. In addition to the loans, $57,000 is inve.sted in U. S. Liberty Bon~s, all of which bear 4;;.4 per cent interest; $1,000 in a Home Telephone Bond, bearing 5 per cent and $1,000 Deer and Company Bond, bearing 7 per. cent. In addition to the above are the Rice Securities amounting to $8,143.00. There was found to be a cash balance due the Fund of $1,193.03 in the First National Bank at St. Louis, Mo. Also, the Woodson Property estimated value of $5,000 and Certainteed Stock estimated value of $23,000. This makes a total in the Endowment Fund of $260,811.03, an increase 'over 1921 of $28,309.25 and other estimated Securities of $12,000.

REPORT OF EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE August 26, 1922.

Sol. E. Waggoner, President, Mason:ic Home Board, St. Louis, Misso1;tri. My Dear Brother Waggoner:' A detailed statement of the activities of the Executive Committee is not necessary, as you have observed all of its proceedings, and will embody the 'essentials in your report as preside~t Qf the Home to the Grand Lodge. As you are aw~re our belov~d institution has grown to proportions possibly far b~yond the most extravagant dreams of those who conceived the idea of establishing a place of rest for the weary and unfortunate. As a natural result the demands on the time and best thought of. those responsible for its management are ever increasing. On the Masonic Home Board, and the EfCecutive Committee acting fOf such Board, rests the greatest responsibilities of life. To administer the sacred funds so' generously provided for the comfort and enjoyment of the distressed, old and young, requires our most serious attention. During the year, as in the past, the Executive Committee has had many questions of grave importance presented for solution. All such questions have received the most thorough, thoughtful and conscientious consideration. The uniform and unvarying effort at all times has been to reach a decision in harmony with the fundamenal principles of Masonic charity; whether those concerned were 'members of the Home family, or applicants for admission into its pleasant environments. If any mistakes have been made, and it may be that such is the case, for to err is human, they have been of th~ head and not the heart. The thanks of the Directors, the various Committees, matrons and members of the Home family, individually and collectively, as. well as the members of the Fraternity in this Grand Jurisdiction, are again due to the advisory members of the Board. These noble women, with that ~other1y love, which is not e;sily provoked, nor thinketh any evil, and which man is in~apable of understanding and cannot fully appreciate, have been untiring and never ceasing in their efforts in the best

Dear Sir and. Brother: I herewith submit for consideration, a tabular statement of the cases treated in the Masonic Home during the past year ending September 1, 1922. We have been very fortunate with the children during the entire year, having had no contageous cases among them. Our old folks have had to endure the usual infirmities of age, and in most cases have convalesced very satisfactorily, this being due to a great extent to the' very efficient work of路 our nurses, under the路 most faith.ful supervision of Miss Hazard, our head nurse. Next to Miss Hazard, the smooth running of the Hospital is associated with the presence and assistance of Mrs. Collins, Matron for the Old People. . I wish to thank the members of the Medical Staff who have so promptly and cheerfully responded when called upon for assistance and have made me feel that such assistance was most gladly given. I

At all times I have been in close touch with the Officers of the Home and have found them always ready to aid me, for which I am most grateful. Total average in hospital this year.............................. 83 Total average in 'hospital last year : 82 1

REPORT OF ATTORNEYS September 1, 1922. Sol. E. rVaggonFY, Esq. President, Masonic Nome, St. Louis, Missouri. Dear Sir and Brother: We hereby submit our report as Attorneys for the Masonic Home of Missouri, for the year ending September 1, 1922. In our report of September 1, 1921, we advised you as to the contents of the wili of 1VI. W. Brother Jacob Lampert, in which he .gave and bequeathed unto the Masonic Home the sum of $25,000.00 and of the pendancy at that time of a suit instituted by Elie Van Raalte, et al vs. Rosa Graff, et aI, to contest路 the validity of said will of Jacob Lampert. This suit was brought by the nieces and nephews of M. W. Brother Lampert. 'Ve then advised you that the case was set for trial on October 10. 1921, in the Circuit Court of the City of St. Louis. The suit went to trial on that date in 'Division .No. 7 of the Circuit Court and lasted for about three 'weeks and resulted in a verdict and judgment in favor of the defendants, sustaining the will of M. W. Brother Lampert, deceased. Within due time after the verdict and judgment:' the said nieces and nephews appealed the case to the Supreme Court of Missouri, and we are now busy preparing our abstracts and briefs for the Supreme Court for October 10, 1922, at which time we propose to argue the case, and hope in due time to get a decision tl:J.ereon. vVe are hopeful of winning this case in the Snpreme Court, and if we do, the additional sum of $25,000.00 will be added to the Jacob Lampert Endowment Fund of the Home.. We have, during the last year, passed upon various legal matters of the Home and drafted a number of papers appertaining to the affairs of the Home, but they are not of sufficient importance to justify ns in giving a detailed statement thereon. In pursuance of your request, we submit below a form of will which may be used in the event that anyone should desire to make bequests or devises to the Masonic Home. It is as follows, to-wit: "Know all men by these presents: That I, '" . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

REPORT OF ADVISORY COMMITIEE August 25, 1922.

Mr.

Sol. E. Waggoner, President of theMaso~ic Home of Missouri, St. Louis, Missouri.

Dear Sir and Brother: We, the Advisory Board of the Masonic Home, beg leave to submit the following report of our activities for the 'year ending September I, 路1922: First, we thank the Masonic Home Board for their co-operation and assistance to us in our work and for the many courtesies extended during the year. We especially thank the President of the Board, Brother Waggoner, for his assis~ance in furnishing us with the lists of linens, dishes, bedding, linoleums, and miscellaneous needs of the Home, all of which we have taken great pleasure in furnishing. The O. E. S. Chapters and clubs connected with the Chapters have been exceedingly active this year in sending in contributions to the Home, which have added materially to th'e Home and have been greatly appreciated by us. These gifts consist of bedding such as quilts, pillow cases, towels, 路rag rugs, dresser scarfs, cushions and cushion covers for the chairs, handkerchiefs and aprons for the young and old, and many other splendid articles as personal gifts for the Home family. One -Sewing Circle sent in night gowns and pajamas for all the children; another sent in splendid waists for our boys, but it would be impossible for us to itemize these articles, as they are 'sent direct to the Home and acknowledged by the Matron and only a few have sent a duplicate list to us, but we thank the donors for their interest and trust that the Order of the Eastern Star will always be found in the front rank of service to the Home. The Eastern Star with the various Chapters and Clubs have sent in cash to be used for Christmas for the Home family to the amount of $3,183.72 and have requested us' to use this money as we deemed for the best interest" of the Home family in the way of personal gifts. It has been our desire to use this money where it would do the most good for the Home in a practical way and at the same time give the greatest pleasure to all of the Home family. In an effort to accomplish these purposes, we gave to each person a Christmas card to be filled out with the three wishes they most desired, and these cards

[GCL proved to be a great pleasure to the Home fa~ily,. The wishes, when classified, covered everything from wishing the Ma~onic Home Board and the 0.. E. S. Board happiness and prosperity, to automobiles ~nd , trips to California. The Advisory Board took a great deal of路 pleasure in gratifying the wish that we considered the inost practical and for the be~t interest of the Home. It has been. very gratifying "to us, to find the Home family, as a whole, most happy and contented, and with but few complaints.

At our January meeting we went over the list of wishes of the children and old folks with their respective matrons,. and we路 thank them for their assistance in helping to check what seemed to be the most appropriate gift, and. we filled these orders to the best of our ability. Some forty of our old ladies requested a cloth dress; others, silk waists and skirts. These dresses and skirts were assigned to vari0us members of the Order of the Eastern Star, who made them up o~t of materials purchased by us, and they personally visited the Home and allowed each individual to select the design and color they desired most. One路 has only to visit the Home. to see how these gifts have been truly appreciated, and the dresses are really works of art. Our children, too, have fared well, and tl'leir dresses also were made by the members. of the Order, and are beautiful. We, the Advisory Board, are happy to represent an Order that is ever ready and willing to do all in their power to make our beneficiaries happy and contented, and we know 'of 110 better way to accomplish this than by disbursing the Christmas funds entrusted to us in a practical way. I

In conclusion, Brother Waggoner, we again thank you and the members of the Home Board for the many courtesies extended us and wish for the Masonic Home Board and the members of the Home continued success in the work of the Order. Fraternally submitted, ELLA JEAN FLANDERS, 'President, EDITH E. AMBRUSTER, . .S ecr~t~ry, EDITH V. BADER, Treasurer

LETTER TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FROM THE MATRON OF THE CHILDREN The close of another official year brings the deeper con路 viction that the work in the Home, the association with the Home Family and the kind consideration of the Board has made life deeper and broader and higher and richer for me, and I thank God for the time spent in the ~asonic Home. The year has been spent wIth the usual round of work and' pleasure. The School work and the work of the Children in the various departments of the Home has been above the average. The Needle Craft Club 'has been busy during the summer knitting sweaters, embroidering and crocheting.' They have also made scout snits, dresses for the little folks and other useful articles. The Christmas Committee has furnisheq more entertain.ment the past year than ever before. The beautiful Christmas tree and presents; the delicious Christmas' breakfast and dinner; the shows; the boat excursion; picnic to Creve Coeur and watermelon. feasts. They have also provided balls, bats, rackets, balls' and net for the tennis court, set of iIistructive books; i'u' 'fact, it would be hard to tell the begir{ning or the ending of the many good times the Committee has furnished . . Other delightful days have been given by Jennings Lod,ge and Ladies, Pilgrim Lodg~ and Ladies; 1922 Patrons' Club, Auto Club" Children of the American Legion, Mrs. Murray and. Dr. Meyer, Shrine-Grotto Orchestra, the Temple Ladies' Club, Misses AppleI' and Martin and Mr. and Mrs. Bamber. The various Lodges and Chapters have responded nobly t'o, , invitations to conduct religious services and each Sunday afternoon we listened to a good sermon and plenty, of good music. A new feature of the year was an outing for some of the' girls at Painted Rock Club on the Osage. This outing w'asarranged by Brother S. E. Waggoner, President, and Brother' John T. Short, Vice-President of th~ Home Board, they being ably'as~" sisted by Victoria Chapter and Jelferson City Lodge members~ '; The Home Family' enjoyed the day 'spent with 'the :Grand Officers of the O.

LETTER TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FROM THE MATRON OF THE OLD PEOPLE .

Upon returning. ,from my vacation that you made possible for me to have, I am feeling much refreshed and ready to take up the work with renewed energy and pleasure, and find it time to make Our: yearly report to you. ." â&#x20AC;˘. Our Family of ninety-three women and eighty-six men endured the warm w~athe~ remarkably well. Those that have been on a vacation are returning and seem grad to be home again. We hope to be able to see to their wants and needs that will give them the most pleasure. The year has been, an uneventful one. The many pleasures given by the Christmas Committee, Past Matrons and Patrons, Pilgrim Lodge and Magnolia Chapter have relieved the very warm summer by their many. boat rides, picnics, auto rides and watermelon feasts. At this time we wish to express our appreciation of their goodness. A number of our old people have been removed to the hospital from the Old People's Building, not being longer able to

care for their rooms and the small duties that faIr upon th~m, where Dr. D. F. Rice and Miss Hazard, Head Nurse, with her able assistants will give them every possible at~ntion. The time I devote in this building I count well spent, for it lends outside interest and. cheer to the patient and gives me a lesson in patience and fortitude. The路 Advisory Board, O. E. S. have not forgotten Us at any time. Christmas all were remembered with a very substantial gift to the pleasure of all. A number of rooms in the Old PeOple's Building have been replenished with new linoleum and small rugs. We would not forget the Chapters that remembered us with beautiful aprons for the ladies and chair cushions for the men, adding much comfort and pleasure. Truly each and every member of the Masonic Home of Missouri should be happy and contented, for everything possible is done for his or her' comfort and. pleasure. To the President and, Board of Directors: my association with you is, indeed, a privilege and a pleasure, and your courtesy to me i1:1 most highly appreciated. May the same Divine guidance direct Us in the 'future that we have had in the past year. I am Fraternally yours, NONA E, COLLINS, Matron.
