A BRIEF BIOGRAPHY OF OUR GRAND MASTER

Robert Edwin Davies was born in Mount Forest, Ontario, October 5, 1931. Here he received his elemen- tary and secondary school education. Always a good scholar and a fine athlete, he was the recipient of several academic and athletic awards and trophies. His extra- curricular activities as President of the student council and quarterback of the football team attest to his leader- ship ability even at this early age.

In 1948, during his final school year, owing to the sudden illness and subsequent passing of his father, he took over the family retail business and has operated it most successfully ever since.

In 1954 he married Annabelle Christie of HopevUle and the Davies now have three children, the eldest, Kathy, a graduate of the University of Waterloo — now enrolled at the Ontario Teacher Education College, Hamilton; Robert, presently at home in the family business; and the youngest, Lynn, a student at the Mount Forest District High School.

He is a member of the United Church and over the years has served on many committees and boards, both in the Church and also in the Sunday School.

Always interested in his community, your Grand Master is a past director of the Mount Forest Boy Scout Group, past director of the Mount Forest Louise Marshall Hospital Board, former member of the Mount Forest Cameron Highlanders Pipe Band, and past President of the Mount Forest Investment Club. His many hobbies include all sports, and amateur radio where he is the holder of an Advanced Amateur Radio License and can be identified around the world by the call sign VE3ERD.

Being initiated, passed and raised in St. Albans Lodge, No. 200, in 1952, he became Worshipful Master in 1960, and in 1961 was elected District Deputy Grand Master of Grey District. March 1964 saw him appointed the Representative of the Grand Lodge of Louisiana which Grand Lodge conferred upon him the rank of Past Junior Grand Warden. In July of the same year he was appointed a member of the Board of General Purposes of our Grand Lodge, a position to which he has been subsequently elected for five successive two-year terms. Chairman of the Committee on Fraternal Dead in 1971 and 1972, he was then appointed for 1973 and 1974 Chairman of Benevolence, a committee with which he had been closely associated during his entire tenure as a mem- ber of the Board of General Purposes. He was elected Deputy Grand Master in July 1975 and Grand Master in July 1977.

Our Grand Master is a member of the Royal City Lodge of Perfection; Past Most Wise Sovereign of the Guelph Chapter Rose Croix; member of the Moore Sov- ereign Consistory; Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Canada; a member of the Ancient and Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, Mocha Temple, London; the Royal Order of Scotland and was coroneted Honorary Inspector-General, 33°, at the Annual Meeting of the Supreme Council, A. & A.S.R. of Canada, in Hamilton, September 1977.

In 1961, Robert E. Davies was the youngest District Deputy Grand Master in the Jurisdiction and now at 45 years of age becomes one of the youngest to be elected Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Canada in the Province of Ontario.

40 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

GRAND MASTER'S ADDRESS

To the Officers and Members of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge, A. F. & A. M. of Canada, in the Province of Ontario.

My Brethren :

It is my pleasure and privilege to address you, my brethren, as I did last year, at the end of another Masonic year as your Grand Master. This has been a most memor- able year in my life, with many honors and courtesies be- stowed upon me, a year not without certain problems but overridden with the great privilege of serving you and the cause of Masonry in all parts of our Grand Juris- diction and in our neighboring Jurisdictions both in Canada and in the United States.

We are pleased and proud to welcome so many of our fellov; Grand Masters and their representatives from other Grand Lodges, as well as those other distinguished Masons representing Masonic bodies with whom we are at amity. My wife and I (and occasionally a Past Grand Master and his wife representing our Grand Lodge) have visited almost all the Grand Jurisdictions represented and appreciate so much the gracious hospitality and the many kindnesses and courtesies extended to us. It is a pleasure to reciprocate and I hope that our distinguished guests and their ladies will enjoy the activities of this 122nd Com- munication of the Grand Lodge of Canada in the Province of Ontario.

Perhaps the highlight of this year's term of office was being selected and elected as Chairman of the Conference of Grand Masters of North America which met in Wash- ington in February, and presiding over that great Confer- ence. This was, I feel, a great honor for our Canadian Grand Lodge, as the Conference is composed of 49 United States Grand Lodges, 9 Canadian Grand Lodges and the York Grand Lodge of Mexico. It was a great experience working with M.W. Bro. Wm. B. Stansbury, the Executive Secretary-Treasurer of the Conference.

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1977 41

I was very honored, indeed, to be presented with distinguished Masonic Service medals — the Erasmus James Phillips Medal by the Grand Lodge of Nova Scotia; the Josiah Hayden Drummond Medal by the Grand Lodge of Maine; and the Pierpont Edwards Medal by the Grand Lodge of Connecticut.

NECROLOGY

Again, during the past Masonic year, we have lost some very diligent and very knowledgeable brethren by death, men who will be greatly missed in this Grand Juris- diction and especially in their respective parts of the Prov- ince where their influence was most notably felt.

R.W. BRO. W. H. KIPP

A Member of the Board of General Purposes of our Grand Lodge from 1955 to 1959. Bro. Kipp served St. John's Lodge, No. 20, London, Ontario, as Secretary for 23 years. He was called to the Grand Lodge Above on February 2, 1977. He will be missed by all who knew him and his many contributions to Craft Masonry and other branches of our Order will be long remembered.

V.W. BRO. GEORGE T. KENNEDY

Bro. Kennedy was bom September 21, 1875, and celebrated his centennial in 1975. He was initiated into St. Thomas Lodge, No. 44, on September 22, 1897, and was at the time of his passing on November 16, 1976, over 101 years of age. In 1942 he served as Grand Director of Ceremonies. Bro. Kennedy was an honorary member of all lodges in St. Thomas District and an ardent Mason and regular attender of all these lodges almost up to the time of his death. A fine gentleman, an outstanding Mason, and he will be sadly missed by his many Masonic friends. He had been a Mason for over seventy-nine years.

PAST RANK

(1) It was my pleasure to appoint V.W. Bro. Cecil J. Blake of Wardrope Lodge, No. 555, Hamilton, a

42 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

Grand Standard Bearer on July 22, 1976. Bro. Blake served with distinction until his passing on March 12, 1977. I recommend that past rank be granted posthumously.

(2) Wor. Bro. James Foote of Lansdowne Lodge No. 387, was to be installed Worshipful Master at the regular meeting on December 27, 1975, but was unable to attend because of a temporary illness. He was installed at the regular meeting in February 1976 and has served that office with distinction. I recommend he be granted rank of Past Master.

(3) Wor. Bro. Gerald Tearne was installed as Worship- ful Master of Sioux Lookout Lodge, No. 518, on June 24, 1976. He passed away, suddenly, in August of that year. Bro. Tearne was an ardent Mason and I recommend he be granted past rank posthumously.

(4) Wor. Bro. Mervin White was installed Worshipful Master of Prince Arthur Lodge, No. 333, Flesherton, on June 11, 1976, and passed to the Grand Lodge Above on May 13, 1977. He attended and presided at nine regular meetings. I recommend he be granted the rank of Past Master, posthumously.

(5) Wor. Bro. Harry E. Downing was to have been in- stalled Worshipful Master of Doric Lodge, No. 316, Weston, on January 15, 1976; he was hospitalized and his installation took place on March 18, 1976. He carried out his responsibilities in a most suitable manner for ten months. I recommend he be granted the rank of Past Master.

(6) Wor. Bro. George E. Williams was duly installed as Worshipful Master of Acacia Lodge, No. 561, Ottawa, on May 18, 1976. He was promoted to Inspector of the R.C.M.P. and posted to New- foundland and only presided over three meetings of his lodge because of the great distance required to

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1977 43

commute. I recommend he be granted rank of Past Master.

(7) Wor. Bro. Donald Morcombe was installed Worship- ful Master of Hazeldean Lodge, No. 517, Hazeldean, Ontario, on June 16, 1976. He conducted three of their meetings, but business interests required him to spend much of the year in Alberta. Bro. Morcombe flew from Alberta at his own expense to conduct the April and June meetings. He directed the affairs of the lodge by mail, telephone, etc. The lodge prosper- ed under his command. I recommend that Bro. Morcombe be granted rank of Past Master.

VISITATIONS TO OTHER GRAND LODGES AND MASONIC BODIES

I had the great pleasure of attending the Grand Com- munications of many other Grand Lodges both in Canada and in the United States of America. Everywhere the spirit of Brotherhood was highly evident and these visits (accompanied by my wife) were not only enjoyable but instructive as well. Several of our Past Grand Masters attended Grand Communications representing our Grand Lodge when it was impossible for me to be present and I thank them for so doing.

A list of these visitations to other Grand Jurisdictions is found in Appendix A.

APPOINTMENT

In recognition of his great work in the building of the Ottawa Masonic Temple, on the occasion of the Dedication January 15, 1977, I had the pleasure of ap- pointing W. Bro. Edwin A. Gardner a Grand Steward of the Grand Lodge of Canada in the Province of Ontario.

I request from Grand Lodge approval of this ap- pointment and past rank for this brother.

LODGE BUILDINGS DEDICATED

I was pleased to have the privilege of dedicating the new lodge premises of Connaught Lodge, No. 511, Thunder Bay, on September 18, 1976. I commend the brethren on their efforts and wish them well for the future.

R.W. Bro. Robert E. Davies, Deputy Grand Master, officiated at the dedication ceremonies of the new Masonic

Hall of Scott Lodge, No. 421, Grand Valley, on October 13, 1976.

On January 15, 1977, it was a particular pleasure, along with a large group of Grand Lodge officers, to dedicate the beautiful, new Masonic Temple in Ottawa. The brethren in our nation's capital are justifiably proud of this spacious new accommodation.

It was also a great Masonic event for Norwood Lodge, No. 223, Norwood, when on March 28, 1977, I was privileged to dedicate their new lodge premises, where the building was converted beautifully to Masonic use from a church.

On March 2, 1977, R.W. Bro. Ronald E. Groshaw, Grand Senior Warden, with a team of Grand Lodge officers, dedicated the new Temple of King George V Lodge, No. 498, Coboconk, and, on May 27, 1977, M.W. Bro. Wm. L. Wright, Past Grand Master, dedicated the new Temple of Hornepayne Lodge, No. 636, Hornepayne. The brethren of these two lodges are to be congratulated on their faithful efforts to build new Temples.

GRAND MASTER'S BANQUET

This year, at our Grand Master's Banquet, we are especially privileged to have Bro. The Very Reverend A. Lome MacKay as our guest speaker. He was until June the Moderator of the Presbyterian Church of Canada, is the Provincial Grand Master of the Royal Order of Scotland in Ontario, and a good friend. He is coming back from his beloved Prince Edward Island to address us and I am certain that he will thrill us with his oration.

OPERATION LIFELINE

This is a project started in the Toronto Districts by W. Bro. Paul Curry and R.W. Bro. R. E. Groshaw, Grand Senior Warden, to raise $50,000 to purchase for the Toronto Branch of the Canadian Red Cross a mobile Blood Donor Clinic — a vehicular unit to collect whole blood by donations from the general public within a 50 mile radius of Toronto.

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1977 51

This is a fine, imaginative undertaking and I con- gratulate those who have committed themselves to its successful completion — I understand that over one half of the money has now been collected.

"MEETING THE CHALLENGE"

A new and very useful book has just been com- pleted and distributed entitled "Meeting the Challenge". It is, in essence, a manual for lodge officers and contains an excellent chapter on Etiquette and Protocol. I should Hke, on behalf of Grand Lodge, to thank those responsible for this publication, among whom are R.W. Bro. Wallace McLeod, M.W. Bro. W. K. Bailey, R.W. Bro. N. R. Richards and R.W. Bro. C. D. MacKenzie.

MASONIC FOUNDATION OF ONTARIO

As you are aware, the Masonic Foundation of Ontario has established a goal of half a milhon dollars by 1980, when this Grand Lodge will celebrate its 125th Anniversary. Donations are coming in fairly well, but I commend it to those of you who have not yet contributed — i.e. to make a donation as generous as you can afford annually, and/ or arrange for a sum for the Foundation in your will.

PROCEEDINGS

The cost of printing the Proceedings of Grand Lodge has increased to $9.35 per copy for 1976. I recom- mend that, in the future, a copy, free of charge, will be sent to each of our constituent lodges, to each member of the Board of General Purposes, to each incoming District Deputy Grand Master, to all Grand Represent- atives and to all appointed officers of Grand Lodge. Further copies will be made available to all members at $5.00 a copy. Should you wish a copy, please place your order through the Grand Secretary, enclosing your cheque or money order as soon as possible in order that he may know how many to order.

52 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

HONORARY MEMBER OF THE BOARD

I recommend that R.W. Bro. Eric C. Horwood, Chairman of the Advisory Committee on Lodge Build- ings, be appointed an honorary member of the Grand Lodge Board of General Purposes. Our Grand Lodge is fortunate, indeed, to have a man with his expertise and one who is constantly and diligently applying his know- ledge to the benefit of the Craft.

APPRECIATIONS

I have been informed that R.W. Bro. J. J. Talman has decided to withdraw from a very important function which he has been serving for many years — the analysis and summation of our Fraternal Reviews. May 1 express to him the grateful appreciation of Grand Lodge for the excellent manner in which he has performed this task for such a long period of time.

I should like, also, to thank R.W. Bro. Rod Connor. He has driven me many thousands of miles on official Masonic functions for many years, but especially during my term as Deputy Grand Master and Grand Master. This has been very much appreciated and I now seize the opportunity to thank our G.L. Chairman of Blood Donor Committee publicly.

The office of Grand Master entails many duties and much responsibility, but it could not be satisfactorily performed without the dihgent and knowledgeable assist- ance and co-operation of so many distinguished Masons — the Grand East is a tower of strength (this includes our Past Grand Masters, the Grand Secretary, the Grand Treasurer and the Deputy Grand Master), and the Grand Lodge Board of General Purposes offers firm support. I should like to particularly thank our Grand Secretary, M.W. Bro. John A. Irvine, whose efficiency, detailed knowledge, equanimity and tact never cease to amaze me. The staff at our Grand Lodge office, which includes R.W. Bro. James C. Guy, V.W. Bro. Douglas H. BHss and

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1977 53

five very efficient and courteous ladies, are a joy to work with.

SPECIAL MENTION

A very enthusiastic member of this Grand Lodge, V.W. Bro. Albert Batten was, in December 1976, made a member of the Order of Canada by Governor General Jules Leger — this was conferred in recognition of valua- ble work done in many countries on behalf of the League of Red Cross Societies. This well deserved recognition reflects credit on our Masonic Order and we extend the congratulations of Grand Lodge to this worthy recipient of that high honor.

CONCLUSION

What of the future of Masonry — of our great moral and benevolent Institution? It is interesting and perhaps informative to ponder this important prognosis and specu- late about it. The pessimists among us point out that we are losing members, that the members are losing interest, and that Masonry is losing its influence as well, i.e. its impact on the community. The optimists, however, point out that Masonry has always had its ups and downs, its waxing and waning, and it has persisted for centuries and will continue in the long run to progress as a great and good moral influence in the lives of men.

The past is secure — Masonry has an illustrious history with monarchs themselves exchanging the scepter for the gavel — but what of the future? Joseph Fort Newton, the great Masonic scholar, wrote fifty years ago "to go on making men Masons as we are now doing by wholesale, without giving them an intelligent and authentic knowledge of what Masonry is, or what it means, with no definite objects beyond fellowship and philanthropy — objects to which other Orders are equally devoted — is for Masonry to lose, by ignorance or neglect what has been distinctive in its history and genesis, and invite degeneration, if not disaster."

54 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

It is, therefore, important that in our Lodges and in Grand Lodge we stress proper, efficient and knowledge- able Masonic Education so that our time is devoted, to a greater extent, to teaching the great moral precepts of Masonry and not just to the usual and sometimes only activity of Initiating, Passing and Raising. Entire meetings could and should be devoted to Masonic teachings, as indeed they are already in certain lodges.

In order to persist and progress, I feel that Masonry must change in its relationship to society in general. By this, I do not mean that we as Masons should change our basic principles and high moral tenets to conform to modern society with its marked relaxation of the moral code, its denial of the sanctity of marriage, its ready ac- ceptance of common-law relationships, its tolerance of the use of alcohol and mood-altering drugs. Rather, we should work and strive to have society change to our high ideals.

What is the present image of Masonry in the eye of a non-mason? If you converse with members of the so- called younger generation, there is no image — many of them have either never heard of Masons, or, if they have, consider us all Shriners, whom they have seen or at least know about. They know little or nothing about Craft Masonry.

It is in our relationship to the community that we must change and, to a considerable extent, on this our future depends. In days past, even within the knowledge of some of our older brethren present, the most active men in any community were always known to be Masons. These men were prominent in local charitable drives, regional projects, church and civic government. Without blatantly advertising our Craft, it is encumbent upon us to be more extroverted in our outlook, not as introverted as we have become, so that it can truthfully be said that we are applying our great moral principles in a practical way to the life of our community.

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1977 55

It is my firm belief that Masonry, with its rich heritage of history and philanthropy founded on lofty principles of morality and with the proviso that we con- tinue to adhere to these excellent precepts, will continue to flourish, to prosper and to progress in the years ahead, but only if we can turn our sights more to the community and its needs and each of us take a more active part, as Masons, in the worthwhile activities of society in this modern world.

Sincerely and fraternally,

ERIC W. NANCEKIVELL,

Grand Master.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON DECEASED BRETHREN

This Report was presented by R.W. Bro. M. J. Damp, Chairman, and on motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by R.W. Bro. Damp, it was received and adopted.

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1977 57

To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master and Members of Grand Lodge, A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province of Ontario.

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

It is customary in the proceedings of our Grand Lodge Com- munication to draw aside the curtain of memory for a brief moment and bring to mind those of our members who have been removed from our sphere of activity and have passed to the Grand Lodge beyond our sight, eternal in the Heavens and we pray the solemnity of this occasion may bind us yet closer to the ties of brotherly love.

Let us remember with thanksgiving those who by their lives and vocation have helped to spread the ideals of peace and con- tentment, love and charity, throughout our Order; that encour- aged by their example we may be strengthened to hand on to our successors the noble traditions of our beloved fraternity.

The Brethren whose memory we recall today lived in the faith transmitted to them from a previous generation and we live in the faith passed on by them. They have left us a beautiful memory of their intense dedication and service, all done with a quiet dignity. It is this continuity and sense of security that makes Freemasonry of such tremendous import on our lives.

"And ever near us, though unseen The dear immortal spirits tread.

For all the boundless universe Is life; there are no dead."

We should find some measure of compulsion to offer thanks- giving and honour and glory unto the Almighty Creator that from ancient times He hath put into the hearts of men to make offerings and memorials. We who pass this way should be mindful that we benefit from the labours of our Brethren who have gone before and may thereby be encouraged to leave something of ourselves for future generations.

In our search for inspiration, let us reflect briefly upon the writings of Brother Dr. Rob Morris, LL.D., (1818 - 1888), a writer and lecturer on Freemasonry and by universal consent — Masonic Poet Laureate. While strolling home from a visit with a neighbour he paused long enough to record on a scrap of paper what he chose to call — "The Level and the Square," in which he breathed out a depth of feeling, fervency and pathos, with brilliancy and vigor of language and expressed due faith in the immortal life beyond the grave. In part —

58 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

"There's a world where all are equal, we are hurrying

toward it fast. We shall meet upon the level there when the gates of

death are past; We shall stand before the Orient, and our Master

will be there. To try the blocks we offer by His own unerring square.

"We shall meet upon the level there, but never thence

depart; There's a mansion, 'tis all ready for each zealous.

faithful heart; There's a mansion and a welcome, and a multitude

is there, Who have met upon the level and been tried upon

the square."

The passing of those we honour at this time and of those who will not be mentioned has brought sorrow and loneliness to relatives and many friends, nor has that period come to an end. May our words of deepest sympathy help ease the loss they bear and may it comfort them somewhat to know that others care.

But when the great and good depart, What is it more than this —

That man, who is from God sent forth. Doth yet again to God return.

Such ebb and flow must ever be.

Then wherefore should we mourn?

It has been a rewarding experience to be the Chairman of your Committee on Deceased Brethren throughout the past year and with the concurrence of my twelve associates who have served the committee well, I express our profound thanks to the Most Worshipful the Grand Secretary and the Grand Lodge office personnel for the manner in which they assembled the statistical portion of this Report. We also acknowledge the efforts of the Lodge Secretaries and the District Deputy Grand Masters in despatching the pertinent details pertaining to a brother upon his demise.

When all is done, and my last word is said,

And ye who loved me murmur "He is dead,"

Let no one weep for fear that I should know And sorrow too that ye should sorrow so.

In conclusion, our fervent prayer would be "We thank thee, O God our Creator, for the lives of Thy servants who have gone

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1977

59

from us into Thy presence, those with whom we have shared a common love. We praise Thee for all that was good, for all that was kind, for all that was loving in their lives. We thank Thee for every good influence which proceeded from their lives, for the gift of friendship and for the spirit of helpfulness."

MEMORIAL SERVICE

Grand Chaplain:

The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the

everlasting arms. Deuteronomy 33:27 I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that he shall

stand at the latter day upon earth. Job 19:25 The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: yea, it

is even he that shall keep thy soul. The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy com- ing in, from this time forth for evermore. Psalm 121:7,8

Prayer of Invocation:

Almighty Father, the source from which we come, the end to which we travel, the light and strength of our pil- grimage, and the repose of the holy and blessed dead, bind us, we pray Thee, in comradeship with the heroes and saints of every age. In this hour of solemn remem- brance, we think of our brethren who have faithfully lived and died, and especially those most near to us. Lift us all into light and love, and give us at last our portion with those who have trusted in Thee, and have striven to do Thy Will.

And to Thy Name, with the brethren on earth and the brethren above, we ascribe all honour and glory. Amen.

Psalm 23 (Reading responsively):

1. The Lord is my shepherd; therefore can I lack nothing.

2. He shall feed me in a green pasture, and lead me forth

beside the waters of comfort.

3. He shall restore my soul, and bring me forth in the

paths of righteousness, for his Name's sake.

4. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow

of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me, thy rod and thy staff comfort me.

5. Thou shalt prepare a table before me in the presence

of them that trouble me; thou hast anointed my head with oil, and my cup shall be full.

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1977 73

6. Surely thy loving-kindness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

Memorial Prayer (The brethren stand at the S. of F.)

Almighty God, with Whom do live the spirits of them that depart hence in the Lord, and with Whom the souls of the faithful, after they are delivered from the burden of the flesh, are in joy and felicity; we praise and magnify Thy Holy Name for all Thy servants who have finished their course and kept the faith; beseeching Thee that it may please Thee, of Thy gracious goodness, shortly to accomplish the number of Thine elect, and to hasten Thy Kingdom, that we, with all those that are departed in the true faith of Thy Holy Name, may have our perfect consummation and bliss, both in body and soul, in Thy eternal and everlasting glory. Hear our prayer, O God, and let our cry come unto Thee. Amen.

All respond : So mote it be.

Prayer of Dedication:

Almighty Father, by Whose grace we have life and in whose light we see light, mercifully grant that this hour of memory may be a mount of vision, from which new light shall fall upon our fleeting days; that we may think of our lives as sent from Thee, on Thy errand for services Thou hast appointed.

Reverently, O God, we give ourselves to Thee in a new dedication.

Fill our minds with light and our hearts with love, that we may serve Thee with patient faith and joyous confidence. Build our lives into Thy Temple of spiritual fellowship, and keep us as brethren steadfast in that fellowship.

Make our days bright with Thy presence, rich in the fruits of the spirit, and tender in human ministry, that our lives may be fragrant with happiness.

74 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

Use US as Thou wilt, our hands to do Thy work, our Ups to speak Thy truth, our lives to be gospels of Thy love and mercy; and to Thee be honour and glory, thanksgiv- ing and adoration, world without end. Amen.

All respond: So mote it be.

Benediction:

May the blessing of the G.A.O.T.U. rest upon us and upon all our work and worship done in His Name. May He give us light to guide us, courage to support us, and love to unite us, now and evermore. Amen.

Respectfully and fraternally submitted

M. J. DAMP,

Chairman.

RECEPTION OF GRAND REPRESENTATIVES

As the Grand Secretary called the roll of Grand Representatives of other Grand Lodges those who were present stood up and were welcomed by the Grand Master. Grand Honours were then given under the direction of the Grand Director of Ceremonies.

AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and Members of Grand Lodge, A.F. & A.M. of Canada, in the Province of Ontario.

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

I have examined the statement of resources of the Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province of Ontario as at April 30, 1977 and statements of receipts and disbursements of the General Fund and the combined Memorial and Semi-Centennial Fund for the year then ended. My examination included a general review of the accounting procedures and such tests of the accounting records of your Grand Treasurer and Grand Secretary and

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1977 75

Other supporting evidence as I considered necessary in the circumstances.

The securities of the General, Memorial and Semi- centennial Funds as set out in the respective schedules accompanying the Grand Treasurer's Report arc held and certified to under date of June 8, 1977 by the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce.

In my opinion, these financial statements present fairly the financial position on a cash basis of the Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province of Ontario as at April 30, 1977 and the receipts and disbursements for the year then ended in accordance with generally ac- cepted accounting principles applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year.

Yours fraternally,

A. W. PARISH, F.C.A.

GRAND TREASURER'S REPORT

To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and Members of the Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province of Ontario.

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

Once again I have the honour to submit the Grand Treasurer's report covering our latest financial year.

We have had normal returns of income and expendi- ture with moderate and predictable increases in both areas. Last year's budget contemplated a substantial current deficit in our general account, but I am pleased to report that the actual shortage was negligible. Our publi- cation costs including printing for resale are included in current disbursements and if materials still held for sale are credited, we have closed the year with another operating surplus.

76 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

The increased per capita assessment enacted a year ago has been in force for the latter half of our year and in the current year will take full effect. Our reserves in the Memorial and Commutation Funds have increased moderately from Estate gifts and capitalized fees. By constantly replacing low-interest maturing securities with more productive new issues, we have realized a total in- vestment income which is the highest on record and contri- butes in financing the efficient functioning of our Grand Lodge.

Our contributions to our disabled and needy Breth- ren and their dependents are moderate but considerable and we must always assume that our individual member- ship is also responding generously to the needs of others.

As always, I am deeply indebted to the Grand Secretary and his staff for their helpful assistance through- out the year in facilitating the work of the Grand Treas- urer, and to the Chairman of the Committee on Audit and Finance for his ready and helpful counsel. More especially I would recognize the masterly performance of the Grand Lodge Auditor who gives us constant guid- ance with monthly statements of our accounts and pre- pares our annual financial statement. This includes schedules of the year's receipts and disbursements in the General, Memorial and Commutation Fund accounts as well as lists and valuations of our securities with sum- maries which are informative and comprehensive. These will be quoted in the following pages and are commended to your attention and study.

Fraternally submitted,

M. CLEEVE HOOPER,

Grand Treasurer.

Presented on behalf of

the Grand Treasurer by the Grand

Secretary.

REPORTS OF THE DISTRICT DEPUTY GRAND MASTERS

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON FRATERNAL RELATIONS

This Report was presented by M. Wor. Bro. G. E. Turner, and on motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by M. Wor. Bro. Turner, it was received and adopted.

To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and Members of the Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province of Ontario.

M.W. Sir and Brethren:

The problem of fraternal relations — so troublesome to nearly all Grand Lodges — again appears in the story of the proceedings of this Committee during the past year. Applications for recog- nition that have been held over from past years have been added to by applications from new quarters; and hope of developing any semblance of a uniform policy in the matter of recognition seems as distant as ever, even among our Canadian Grand Lodges. For the present, and probably for years to come, reliance must be placed on the good sense of individual Masonic authorities, a good sense that one hopes will lead to a reasonably correct course between a policy that may be too generous on the one hand, or in the alternative, to one that is too rigid.

Certainly it is not unfair to state that at present there seems to be a danger in some quarters from generosity in this matter of recognition, a danger that appears to be conditioned by a too

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1977 97

liberal conception of what is called "Universal Freemasonry". This has led in a few cases to an acceptance into certain folds of nearly everything that labels itself Masonic, no matter how political or anti-religious in its practices the suppliant organization may be. Surely this is a grievous error, one that we hope cannot be laid at the doors of Canadian Freemasonry. For us, and indeed for all English-speaking Freemasom"y, the practice of Masonry pure and undefiled, as laid down by the fathers, should be the sole yard- stick for acceptance into the household of the faithful.

We have a very few requests on hand and I suggest that these be laid over until next year, not as a matter of procrastina- tion, but my feeling is that we should not be hasty in our actions. Again, we pay tribute to the late M.W. Bro. Harry L. Martyn, for the outstanding contributions he made as Chairman of this Committee for so many years.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the Committee.

GEORGE E. TURNER,

Chairman.

1. That concurrent jurisdiction be established among the lodges comprising WelUngton District.

2. That this concurrent jurisdiction shall become effective as of July, 1977.

2. That this change be made effective July, 1977.

PART m NOTICE OF MOTION

R.W. BRO. WILLIAM S. McVITTIE P.D.D.G.M.

The following notice of motion has been received for pre- sentation to Grand Lodge.

100 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

"I hereby give Notice of Motion that I will move or cause to be moved at the Grand Lodge Communication of July 20-21, 1977, the following Amendment of Section 11 — The addition at the end of the present Section 11, 'The maximum term of office of members of the Board of General Purposes shall be twelve years, specifically to apply to the twenty-eight members elected or appointed and not to include the Grand Master, Past Grand Masters, the Deputy Grand Master, the Grand Secretary and the Grand Treasurer, and shall be effective as of July of 1978'."

Your Committee notes that the proposed amendment or alteration to the present Section 11 only refers to that section, which would make Section 1 1 inconsistent with at least one other Section of the Constitution, namely Section 33. Consequently, your Committee on Constitution and Laws reports that it would not be in order for this proposed Amendment to be presented to and considered by Grand Lodge at this Annual Meeting of Grand Lodge.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON MASONIC EDUCATION

This report was presented by R.W. Bro. N. R. Richards, Chairman, and on motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by R.W. Bro. Richards, it was received and adopted.

To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and Members of Grand Lodge, A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province of Ontario.

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

The purpose of the Committee on Masonic Education is:

(1) to stimulate, supplement and support lodge and district osophy and symbolism of masonry.

programmes about matters relating to the history, phil-

(2) to arrange for the preparation and distribution of Ma- sonic literature and information.

(3) to encourage the participation of brethren in Masonic education and information programmes in lodge and district meetings.

(4) to provide assistance, when requested, such as helping to organize seminars and workshops, suggesting resource personnel for participation and attempting to react to other requests.

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1977 101

This report reviews the highlights of Masonic education for \'>16-11. It is compiled from the reports received from the District Deputy Grand Masters and from personal involvement in a number of districts. It is appropriate at the outset to thank the District Deputy Grand Masters and the supervisors of Masonic Education they appointed soon after the 121st Communication of Grand Lodge for the attention, direction and organization given to edu- cation and information programmes in each of the forty-three districts.

The Committee is pleased to recognize the valuable contribu- tion to the overall education and information effort made by several brethren. Often these activities were not part of the organ- ized effort of the committee. The Grand Master, in eloquent manner, delivered addresses that were stimulating, challenging and informative. During the year he dealt with a large number of topics and in masterly manner educated and informed those who were in his presence. The Grand Secretary, M.W. Bro. J. A. Irvine, shared his expert capabilities in presenting information related to programmes with particular reference to the operation and ad- ministration of lodges. Tlie services of M.W. Brother W. K. Bailey, Custodian of the Work, were in great demand. Several districts held lodges of instruction and brethren benefited from the guid- ance, expert knowledge, and interpretation of this learned Mason. The kind of contribution made by the Grand Chaplain is illustrated by the following comment contained in the report of the District Deputy Grand Master for South Huron: "R.W. Bro. Scovil used as his topic at the District Divine Service The Romance of our English Volume of the Sacred Law'. This proved to be a real highlight as far as Masonic education is concerned." Masons of Ontario were singularly favoured by the presence of V.W. Bro. Harry Carr in our midst. His address "600 years of Craft Ritual" was delivered in a manner that will long be remembered by those who had the good fortune to hear him. V.W. Bro. Carr is recog- nized on a world-wide basis as a renowned scholar, author and speaker.

The majority of Supervisors of Masonic Education were serv- ing for the first time. It is encouraging, however, to note that many of them had previous experience either at the lodge or district level. In twenty-two of the districts the District Deputy and the Supervisor of Masonic Education held a meeting at the district level to plan and organize a programme for the year ahead. Tn several districts the supervisor attended each lodge and partici- pated in an educational programme. Twenty-five districts held Masonic education nights. Twelve districts reported holdinq seminars or workshops to consider topics such as Masonry on the Move, Dare to be a Mason, Meeting the Challenge, and others. An encouraging aspect of the workshop approach is the trend for "reater involvement of larger numbers of brethren. Several districts where workshops have not been held expressed an interest in this kind of activity and are encouraged to plan for one in the year ahead. The new publication "Meeting the Challenge" has been

102 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

enthusiastically received and will, I am certain, serve a very useful purpose. All districts report making use of the Fraternal Reviews, the Advance Proceedings, Beyond the Pillars and the First Grand Master.

It has been the practice in previous years to choose a few examples of programmes offered in 1976-77 for inclusion in this report. Space does not make it possible to report on all the in- teresting programmes, but the following will give you a little idea about a few of the highlights. Frontenac District held its first workshop and dealt with the topics. Turning Discussion into De- cisions, Etiquette in the East, Preparation before the Meeting, and Effective Ritual Presentation. London East District at the fall meeting had addresses on the topics 'The History of Grand Lodge in the Province of Ontario" and "Whither Are You Directing Your Course?". In conjunction with the brethren of London West Dis- trict a schedule of inter-lodge visits was arranged between the lodges of the two districts to provide an opportunity for the brethren of one district to present Masonic education information when visiting the other district. In Nipissing Centre District the Supervisor of Masonic Education prepared ten papers for study and discussion and these were distributed to the lodges. The Super- visors of Ottawa Districts 1 and 2 joined forces and organized a programme for a meeting of the Masters'. Past Masters' and Wardens' Association. Officers from each district described the duties of their respective offices in their own words but within the framework of information contained in the book "Meeting the Challenge". The continuing planning committee of Waterloo Dis- trict provides for continuity of Masonic education programmes from year to year. It is interesting to note how well the brethren of Waterloo District responded to the opportunity to purchase books and reading material for their personal libraries.

Interesting programmes were offered in each of the seven Toronto Districts. In an area where there is a large concentration of brethren it is not surprising that unique and imaginative pro- grammes are developed. The following serves to illustrate the variability of activities. Toronto District 1 had a programme "Hands Across the District", Toronto District 2 an address on European Masonry, Toronto District 3 arranged a special night dealing with "The Many Sides of Masonic Education"; Toronto District 4 organized a special night with a theme "Masonry, a Progressive Science". Toronto District 5 offered a multi-media presentation on the life and music of Mozart by R. Wor. Bro. Peter de Karwin, Toronto District 6 arranged an exchange of speakers between Willowdale and York lodges and Toronto District 7 chose the topic "The Meaning Behind the Ritual" for their special night. The foregoing in no way does justice to the extent of the programmes in the Toronto Districts but merely serves to illustrate the wide variety of topics discussed.

In the questionnaire circulated to districts, one of the ques- tions was "What is the most talked about topic in Masonry in

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1977 103

your district?" I find it interesting that more than half the lodges replied "attendance". Brethren does this not augur well for the future? In my view it suggests that the brethren present are con- cerned about what the absent ones are missing. It is appropriate to associate this concern about attendance with masonic educa- tion and information programmes because it reminds us of the continuing need to organize our efforts, so that Masonic educa- tion will be interesting, stimulating, and satisfying.

I choose to close this report by making reference to an Edu- cation Night held in Toronto District 1. On that occasion the brethren from Toronto District 7 dramatized a masonic trial. A meaningful Masonic message was effectively communicated about our attitudes to one another as brethren. Because of the oppor- tunity and privilege of being a mason let us ask the question, are we continuously on Trial? It is refreshing and gratifying to know that if we are the verdict continues to be made in our favour. This is the message I take from what has happened in Masonic Education in 1976-77. The efforts have been sincere, the programmes have been effective, the brethren have participated, the response has been good, the verdict is favourable.

All of which is respectfully and fraternally submitted.

N. R. RICHARDS, Chairman.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON BENEVOLENCE

R.W. Bro. C. D. MacKenzie presented this report and on motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by R.W. Bro. MacKenzie, it was received and adopted.

To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and Members of the Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province of Ontario.

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

It is both a pleasure and a privilege to present this report on behalf of the committee. During the past year the work of benevolence in this jurisdiction has gone forward in a positive and pleasant way.

This work, to paraphrase the general charge, is of a two- fold nature. Our first responsibility is to provide direct financial

104 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

relief to those of our brethren, their widows and orphans who are in need of such assistance. There are one or two points concerning this that must be made. It is a common belief that in today's world of social benefits and reasonable affluence, it is rare to find people who are in financial want. Nothing could be further from the truth. While it is true that the Provincial and Federal Social Services can and do provide much assistance, there are many cases where this help is either not sufficient or not available for one reason or another. To these we are able to offer our help. It is also true that in many cases the assistance provided is only sufficient to make life barely liveable. To such people we can offer a small measure of comfort to help make their declining years a joy rather than a burden. Your committee recognizes these responsibilities and endeavours to discharge them in a manner that is both understanding of the applicants need for benevolence and mindful of our responsibilities to the fratern- ity at large. Grants are established at our Annual Meeting which was held this year in Hamilton on June 11 and 12.

Our first responsibility at this meeting is to review the report from the Supervisor of Benevolence, Right Worshipful Brother James C. Guy. This report was most satisfactory and the details of what was accomplished during the year show that the work of benevolence in our Grand Lodge is being well looked after. Right Worshipful Brother Guy brings to his responsibilities a number of talents. His advice, his direct help in a personal way and his genuine concern for every person in difficulty is reflected in the manner in which he does his job. It has been my privilege to be closely associated with him through my capacity as Chairman and I want to express to him my personal appreciation and that of the Committee for a job well done. We are fortunate to have Right Worshipful Brother Guy acting in this capacity. He is uniquely qualified.

A total of 108 applications were received for review. We are sorry to report that as usual a large number of these were either not complete or lacked sufficient detail for the Committee to adequately assess the needs of the applicants and establish a grant. We cannot over emphasize the need for complete inforrn- ation on each application for Grand Lodge assistance. When this is not provided the Committee is not able to properly assess the needs of the applicant and it must be deferred until our July meeting. As pointed out last year, it is remarkable how there always seems to be time to do the job properly the second time.

A perusal of the reports of the last few years would indicate two things. First, while there have been fewer grants each year they are obviously of higher average value. This is accounted for in two ways. To begin with there is an increasing amount of social welfare available and hence fewer demands for our assist- ance. Secondly, your Committee is not unmindful of the ravages

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1977 105

of inflation and naturally compensates for it in the amount of the grant.

During the year ended April 30th, 113 grants together with 11 interim grants were made in the total amount of $61,105.00. We estimate that in the year ahead $62,000.00 will be required for benevolent purposes and request that this sum be made available for that purpose.

During the last year a number of donations and bequests were received for the Combined Memorial and Semi-Centennial Funds. These amounted to $8,461.25 and are gratefully ack- nowledged.

Donations:

Merrill Lodge No. 344 Centennial $ 100.00

Western District (Regalia) 50.00

Vienna Lodge No. 237 (Late Bro. F. Procunier) . 20.00

Old Hamilton Blood Donors Association 11,31

Connaught Lodge No. 501 (Late Bro. J. T. James) 15.00 Dodsworth & Brown Funeral Directors

Estate late Bro. Edgar A. James 1,000.00

Estate Calvin Flanders 5,236.61

$ 8,244.94 Total $ 8,461.25

It was indicated earlier that our work was of a two-fold nature. The second — and one that has demanded much attention from your Committee — is the promotion of personal involve- ment by all Masons in the work of benevolence. We do this in several ways. Each Fall the Supervisor of Benevolence, together with members of the Committee, hold meetings at various points throughout the province. To these meetings our District Chairmen of Benevolence are invited together with as many Lodge Benevol- ent Chairmen and Senior Lodge Officers as can attend. These meetings have been conducted for several years and initially were used to introduce to our brethren the methods of completing applications for benevolence. With each passing year an in- creasing emphasis has been made on the need for encouraging personal involvement for the welfare of our brethren. We urge that each Lodge establish a Benevolent Committee and provide a Benevolent Fund for its use. WTiile more and more Lodges

106 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

are doing this it must be reported that we have a long way to go to establish this throughout the jurisdiction. We are very grateful to those Lodges who have established such Committees and Funds and urge that the balance of our Lodges copy their example.

Establishing such programmes requires the active assistance of both the District Deputy Grand Masters and District Chairmen of Benevolence. We are very grateful to them for the work they have done on our behalf. Without them it is certain we would not be making the progress we are.

The Committee has once again asked that those brethren who have satisfactorily served as District Chairman of Benevolence be re-appointed to their office. The experience they have is in- valuable and should not be cast aside needlessly. We ask each newly elected District Deputy Grand Master to carefully consider this appointment. The brother occupying this office should be one who understands benevolence and appreciates the problems some- times faced by our members.

Our meetings in Hamilton are always enhanced by the hospitality of the Past Masters' Association. Each year they provide refreshments for a Friday night coffee break and the Committee extends our deep appreciation for their kindness.

Your Committee is happy to report that throughout the province more and more of our lodges are accepting their re- sponsibility and their obligation to provide assistance to their members. As evidence of this we would like to draw to your attention two of many such examples. A member of Elma Lodge in Monkton, Brother Prescott, died while at work on his farm, leaving a widow and six children. While ultimately the estate will provide for his family, there was and is an immediate need. His Lodge, recognizing this, made an appeal to their members and raised in excess of $200.00 to be presented to the widow. They then asked if we would participate and we were of course pleased to do so through the medium of an interim grant.

In Frontenac District the plight of Mrs. Muriel A. R. Key was brought to the attention of the District Chairman of Benevolence. Mrs. Key is the widow of a Mason who, while resident in the area, was not a member of a Lodge in Canada but was in good standing in the Craft in Scotland. His passing left her without resources and our Chairman brought the matter to the attention of the Lodges in the District. A voluntary offering from an appeal made to three Lodges resulted in the sum of $423.00 being presented to Mrs. Key. We on your Committee have supplemented that until further aid is forthcoming. Through the efforts of members of the district employment has been obtained for her When she can return to work.

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1977 107

These two examples are chosen from many to indicate that our brethren realise that benevolence is their responsibility and are quite prepared to discharge it. The need exists all around us and no one is better equipped than you and your Lodge to look after these needs. We stand ready at all times to supplement and assist your efforts and your involvement will provide you with much personal satisfaction.

The work done by the local Boards of Relief in the larger centres of our Province cannot be overlooked. In most cases they administer the grants made to our applicants and are con- stantly concerned about their welfare. We cannot express our appreciation too strongly for their help. In a similar manner benevolent organizations in our sister jurisdictions are always anxious to offer whatever help they can. The principal organiza- tion of this type is the Masonic Relief Association of United States and Canada, of which we are a member. We recommend our renewal of that membership.

May I close with one comment. Your Committee members represent every area of the Province and come from many avenues of life. We deem it a great pleasure and privilege to participate in the activities of this Committee. The opportunity and the responsibility is not one which we take lightly and we are grateful to you for the confidence placed in us. We hope we have discharged our responsibility to your satisfaction.

Respectfully and fraternally submitted,

COLIN D. MACKENZIE,

Chairman.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON PRINTING AND SUPPLIES

This report was presented by R.W. Bro. H. C. Steele, Chairman, and on motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by R.W. Bro. Steele, it was received and adopted.

108 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and Members of the Grand Lodge, A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province of Ontario.

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

On behalf of the Committee on Printing and Supplies, I am privileged once again, to present this report. The committee is composed of the following District Deputy Grand Masters. Rt. Wor. Bros. L. E. Wight, G. A. Lang, H. B. Johnson, D. J. Blatchford, J. D. Jackson, M. A. Durnford, H. W. Walker and the undersigned as chairman.

The following is a summary of the receipts and expenditures made by the Grand Secretary's office on behalf of the Committee.

In addition to the above listed receipts, the following is an approximate inventory of the books on hand as of May 1st, 1977.

Meeting the Challenge 9,000

Beyond the Pillars 3,630

First Grand Master 2,444

The Work 9,240

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1977 109

The cost of Printing & Supplies has increased approximately $25,150.00 over last year's costs. This increase, however, can be attributed mainly to 2 major purchases, Meeting the Challenge $25,073.00, and 1 year's supply of Constitutions costing $6,325.00. This money will be recovered over a period of time as the books are sold.

I would like to commend the Lodges on behalf of the Com- mittee for the excellent selling job done on our latest publication. In one year about 6,500 copies of Meeting the Challenge were sold. Not only was this a fine selling job, but it was also a fine tribute to the Masons who contributed so freely of their time and talents in producing such an excellent publication.

I would like to solicit the assistance of the new D.D.G.M.s in promoting the sale of our publications during their term of office — First Grand Master, Beyond the Pillars, The History of Grand Lodge, and Meeting the Challenge. These books should be a must for every Mason's library. Your committee recommends that each Officer and Past Master own a copy of Meeting the Challenge.

Once again we would like to thank the brethren of Norfolk Lodge No. 10, Simcoe, for their efforts in promoting the sale of the First Grand Master at their annual pilgrimage to the grave of our First Grand Master, Most Wor. Bro. William Mercer Wilson.

I would like to express the thanks of the Committee and my own personal thanks to our Grand Secretary, Most Wor. Bro. J. A. Irvine, for the efficient and capable manner in which he makes purchases on behalf of the committee. Without his fore- sight and judgement the expenses of this committee would be far greater than they are at the present time.

We would also be remiss if we did not express our thanks to the very efficient staff in the Grand Secretary's office, for their efforts in displaying and promoting the sale of our publications.

All of which is respectfully and fraternally submitted on behalf of the Committee.

H. CAMERON STEELE,

Chairman.

REPORT OF THE BLOOD DONORS' COMMITTEE

This report was presented by R.W. Bro. R. J. Connor, Chairman, and on motion of the Deputy Grand

110 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

Master, seconded by R.W. Bro. Connor, it was received and adopted.

To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and Members of Grand Lodge, A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province of Ontario.

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

For various reasons the Blood Donor Service of the Canadian Red Cross have had to eliminate some of their clinics, particularly in the areas outside of Metropolitan Toronto. Yet despite this, or perhaps because of it, two important results have happened. First, the final tabulation of results show a slight increase over last year, and second, "Operation Lifeline" is well underway.

For those of you who do not know, "Operation Lifeline" is the project of the Toronto Masonic Districts to provide a mobile blood clinic for the Red Cross of Toronto. W. Bro. Paul Curry who conceived and delivered the project, and had it adopted by the 7 Toronto Districts, is very pleased with its progress.

The interests of the Grand Lodge Blood Donor Committee have been handled most capably by our Grand Senior Warden, R.W. Bro. Ron Groshaw who has become a very valued member of the "Operation Lifeline" organization. We thank him for his efforts on our behalf and wish aU success to this ambitious venture.

The District Deputy Grand Masters are to be congratulated on their selection of District Blood Donor Chairmen, as all have done an excellent job both on behalf of their district and of this committee. As in past years, several of these district chairmen have remained in office and we cannot speak too highly of these senior service veterans: R.W. Bro. Chas. Heels, Victoria District has dedicated 16 years in this endeavour; R.W. Bro. Cal. Krauter, North Huron District — 14 years; R.W. Bro. Wm. J. C. Noble, Nipissing Centre District — 13 years and W. Bros. Claude Osborn, Toronto 4 District and Elgin Workman, Grey District each with 6 years. To these 5 and the 12 others who are repeating in office, and to the 26 Masons who were initiated this year, we offer our sincere thanks.

Here are the results of their labours along with last year's totals for your comparison.

A short mathematical check of these figures will show the following: The highest number of donations, 533, by Toronto 1 — W. Bro. John Glabais; the greatest increase in donations, 317, by Hamilton C — W. Bro. Ray Carrington; and the greatest percentage increase, 193%, by Sarnia — W. Bro. Mel Johnston. These brethren have apparently been more than diligent in their duty to provide these excellent results.

We wish also to pay tribute to these brethren who are continuing to aid our blood donor cause — Bro. Tom Bailey, Keystone Lodge No. 412 who has now made 115 blood donations; W. Bro. Draper Martineau, Algoma Lodge No. 469 and W. Bro. Robert Cameron, Cobden Lodge No. 459, each with 105

112 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

donations; Bro. Alvin Baker, Flower City Lodge No. 689 — 75 donations; and a brother from Cataraqui Lodge No. 92, whose name we don't know but whose family made 14 donat- ions during this past year. Our heartiest congratulations to these dedicated donors.

The brethren of London East District honoured their District Blood Donor Chairman of last year by electing him as their District Deputy Grand Master, and we hope that R.W. Bro. Bill Pellow has had a rewarding year in this office.

It is our pleasure to read many of the lodge summonses and we note that most of them contain a paragraph about blood donors — when the next clinic is scheduled, a reminder to participate, and, of course, a plea to report to the lodge when you have given a donation. To the lodge secretaries and to the Worshipful Masters, thank you for helping to keep our cause constantly before your members.

As has been mentioned before, joint clinics seem to produce good results. The 7 Toronto Districts again held their clinic and provided entertainment all day long by members from several of their lodges. Theme — "be entertained while being drained". Frontenac District joined with the Knights of Columbus for a very successful one-day clinic, and the two London Districts again held their one-day blitz clinic. The competition for trophies is another way to encourage donating by lodge members. Several districts report that trophies are a part of their program. Sault Ste. Marie has a city-wide trophy and in the four years of its history, the Masons have won it twice — congratulations — W. Bro. Bob Beaton.

W. Bro. Ross Thomson of Ottawa 1 District feels that there is a communication gap between the brethren and their lodge Bloor Donor Chairman. Somehow a way must be found to have ALL of our members report their donations. He feels, as do many of us, that our brethren are participating in this program but they are not letting us know of their involvement.

Charity, benevolence, brotherly love — all Masonic virtues and all virtues which can be exemplified by being a blood donor. Regular donations ARE essential to have the "gift of life" available when it is required. Put Brotherhood into Action by being a blood donor and make YOUR action known by telling the lodge of your participation.

Respectfully and fraternally submitted.

ROD. J. CONNOR,

Chairman.

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1977 113

REPORT OF THE LIBRARY COMMITTEE

This report was presented by R.W. Bro. Wallace McLeod, Chairman, and on motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by R.W. Bro. McLeod, it was received and adopted.

To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and Members of the Grand Lodge, A.F. & A.M., of Canada in the Province of Ontario.

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

The Board of General Purposes, through the Library Com- mittee, begs leave to report as follows:

Your Committee was composed of M.W. Bro. W. K. Bailey, R.W. Bros. H. J. Johnson, R. W. Kenney, C. E. Drew, G. H. C. Hardy, C. E. Frape, C. Torbet, A. D. Grant, J. J. Talman, C. D. MacKenzie, and V.W. Bro. C. W. Emmett, with the undersigned as Chairman.

"There are at the present writing more than 100,000 men in the [Province of Ontario] holding membership in Masonic lodges. If there are seventy-five of this number who have made sufficient study of the Institution to which they belong to have awakened in themselves any glow of interest in its symbolism, its philosophy, or even its history, the fact is certainly not shown in the articles published in the Masonic press of this [province] or in the speeches delivered before the general public or within the tiled lodges. It is a lamentable fact that the general mass of our mem- bership [is] as densely ignorant of everything connected with Masonry, aside from the mere wording of the ritual, as the peas- antry of Spain and Mexico of the true history, biography and political philosophy of the Church of Rome."

These harsh words are not mine. They are taken, with four slight changes, from a splendid book written more than fifty years ago, more than five hundred miles away (Blackmer, The Lodge and the Craft). Are they inappropriate to us here today? While you ponder them, let me summarize the Library's activities for the twelve months just ended.

Our Librarian, Bro. WilUam J. McKee, of Runnymede Lodge, No. 619, Toronto, this year completed ten years of service. He has worked with three Chairmen, and all alike have testified to his tact, his kindness, his forbearance, his tenacity, and his co- operation. He continues to exhibit these virtues. He has been called on to bear many burdens, perhaps none greater than his present Chairman. But Bro. McKee responds willingly and

114 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

cheerfully to every reasonable request, and even to occasional unreasonable ones.

For the ninth year V.W. Bros. Charles S. Gulston and John F. Petherick have worked in the Reading Room Wednesdays and Fridays at noon-hour. We are, as always, greatly in their debt.

Once again, with the aid of volunteer assistants, we have kept the Library open evenings. Several of those who helped last year could not continue, but we were able to enlist substitutes. Let us pay public tribute to these devoted Masons by listing their names: J. Gordon Baker (Mizpah, No. 572); Clifford J. Baxter (Dentonia, No. 651); Charles J. Bishop (Coronation, No. 677); George Blackie (Simcoe, No. 644); Brian E. Bond(Dentonia, No. 651); William S. Carter (Dentonia, No. 651); Ivan Collymore (Robert- son, No. 292); Clifford W. Gazley (Universe, No. 705); M. W. Hetherington (Acacia, No. 430); N. Coulson Malloy (Vaughan, No. 54), Robert Mcllroy (Riverdale, No. 494); Kenneth Mac- Lachlan (Transportation, No. 583); Brian McWhirter (Doric, No. 316); David Nicholls (Canada, No. 532); Peter Taylor (Sham- rock No. 533); Paul Thomas (Mount Dennis, No. 599); Adriaan van't Hof (Astra, No. 682); Cal Waters (Maple Leaf, No. 600); Carroll E. Waldron (Saint Andrew's, No. 16). The group includes a good cross-section of Master Masons, lodge officers, Worshipful Masters, Past Masters, and past Grand Lodge Officers. Once again Bro. Gazley has been most helpful in serving as marshal. Working in the Library is a matchless opportunity, and we appeal for more volunteers. Many brethren have commented on the convenience of the new extended hours; and your Committee recommends that they be continued next year.

Between May 15, 1976 and May 14, 1977, 266 visitors signed the register. During the same period 240 books were loaned to local patrons, and 180 were mailed to out-of-town users. In all, 420 books were borrowed, compared with only 402 last year; the total number of borrowers was 133 — an increase of 28% over last year.

During the year the Library's holdings were increased by seventy-eight books. Thirty-three were donated; among our benefactors we may signal Bro. Frank T. Beimett, the Grand Lodge of California, the Grand Lodge of Ohio, the Grand Lodge of South Dakota, Independent Royal Arch Lodge, No. 2, in New York, and the Supreme Council, A. and A.S.R., Southern Juris- diction. By bequest from R.W. Bro. Willard M. Gordon, a former Chairman of this Committee (1961-1967), we received two copies of Anderson's Constitutions, in the first edition of 1723, and in Noorthouck's revision of 1784. They will take their proud place in our small collection of rare treasures. The former is the most important and influential book on Masonry ever printed; every Book of Constitution published since then has been modelled on it. Of course the original edition is too precious to leave the

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1977 115

premises; but if you are interested, we have several facsimile copies which may be borrowed.

In recent years the Library has distributed a certain amount of audio-visual material. It has been well received, and the time seemed ripe to increase our efforts in this area. We have therefore established an Audio-Visual Sub-Committee, under the Chairman- ship of V.W. Bro. Charles W. Emmett. His first project is to collect slides on "Masonry at Work in Ontario;" to this end, he has written to every District Deputy Grand Master in the juris- diction. We look forward with impatience to the completion of the venture.

For some time your Library staff has been hampered in its efforts to provide adequate service by the fact that the catalogue was woefully out-of-date. This year we have begun in earnest to reclassify the collection. This will not be done quickly, but it will make the Library even more useful when it is completed. We have derived guidance, comfort, and support from two booklets, A. R. Hewitt's An Elementary Guide for Masonic Librarians (published under the authority of the United Grand Lodge of England, 1965), and William L. Boyden's Classification of the Literature of Masonry and Related Societies (published by the Supreme Council, A. and A.S.R., S.J., 1946).

In 1885, M.W. Bro. Hugh Murray remarked, "Our Order opens a wide field for investigation, and offers scope for the employment of talents of the most intelligent and cultivated mind. Its history . . . furnishes a theme, sufficient in itself, to fully employ the brethren in its research ... Its philosophy . . . supplies innumerable questions, which can only be answered by those who have made Masonry a study." The sentiments still command our applause. We desperately need a core of Masons who are concerned to learn of our rich Heritage, and tell of it to others. Inevitably your Library will play a vital role as a resource centre in any such process of education.

We are often asked to name some good books which may safely be put in the hands of a new Mason. The information is available elsewhere, but is can hardly be repeated too often. One might begin with the four booklets, on the Petitioner, the Entered Apprentice Mason, the Fellowcraft, and the Master Mason, pub- lished by our Grand Lodge in 1975. Then one could add our Beyond the Pillars; every brother should have his own copy of these publications, which (together with the History of Grand Lodge, First Grand Master, and Meeting the Challenge) may be ordered from the Grand Secretary, Box 217, Hamilton LBN 3C9. There is Rollin C. Blackmer, The Lodge and the Craft; Carl H. Claudy, Introduction to Freemasonry, or his Old Tiler Talks, or his Foreign Countries; H. L. Haywood, The Newly-Made Mason, or his More about Masonry; Joseph Fort Newton, The Builders,

116 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

or his The Men's House; Allen E. Roberts, The Craft and Its Symbols or Oliver Day Street, Symbolism of the Three Degrees.

If you want to read some fine Masonic fiction, turn to Rudyard Kipling's stories Kim, or "The Man Who would be King" (from Wee Willie Winkle), or "The Rout of the White Hussars" (from Plain Tales from the Hills), or "In the Interests of the Brethren" (from Debits and Credits).

Are you planning to attend the Canadian Opera Company's production of Mozart's The Magic Flute this autumn? Prepare yourself by looking at our vocal score (with piano accompani- ment), or at Jacques Chailley, The Magic Flute: Masonic Opera.

Do you care who have been Masons? We now have the four volumes of William R. Denslow's 10,000 Famous Freemasons, as well as Haywood's Famous Masons and Masonic Presidents, and R. E. Heaton's Masonic Membership of the Founding Fathers.

Are you inquisitive about Masonry? Try A. R. Chambers, Questions and Answers; H. F. Inman, Masonic Problems and Queries; W. O. Peterson, Masonic Quiz Book; Ask me Another, Brother; H. V. B. Voorhis, Facts for Freemasons; or the newest and greatest of them all, Harry Carr, The Freemason at Work.

Was your interest kindled in April when you heard W. Bro. Harry Carr talk about the development of our ritual? We have most of his source material: a reprint of The Regius Poem of 1390; Knoop-Jones-Hamer, Early Masonic Catechisms (a marvellous book); Carr, Early French Exposures; the expose, printed in 1760, known as The Three Distinct Knocks at the Door of Most Ancient Freemasonry, and a reprint of William Preston's Illustrations of Masonry (1775). We also have Bro. Cart's talk, on four cassettes, each twenty-five minutes long.

Last year, for the convenience of those who wanted to buy books for themselves, we included a few addresses. Two have been changed: Masonic Book Sales is now Box 250, Pefferlaw, Ontario LOE INO; and the Masonic Book Club is now to be contacted in care of Louis L. Williams, 426 Unity Building, Bloomington, Illinois 61701. Another source of good books is the Educational Bureau, General Grand Chapter, Royal Arch Masons, Box 529, Trenton, Missouri 64683. It is never amiss to put in a good word for the Quatuor Coronati Correspondence Circle, which deserves the support of every serious Mason. The local secretaries are Professor J. S. Basarke, 59 Sandbourne Crescent, Willov/dale M2J 3A5 (for Toronto); Brian D. Stapley, 5754 Yonge Street. Apartment 410, Willowdale M2M 3T6 (for Ontario East); Oliver T. Flint, 22 Extra Street, Guelph NIH 1Y9 (for Ontario South and West); and John E. Taylor, Box 39, Hilton Beach POR IGO (for Ontario North).

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1977 117

The Gentleman's Magazine for 1753 printed a series of "Questyons and Answeres, concerning the Mystery of Magonrye," with language cloaked in a false semblance of antiquity. Here is one quotation, restored to modem English. "Question. Do all Masons know more than other men? Answer. Not so. They only have right and occasion more than other men to know; but many do fail in capacity, and many more do want industry, that is necessary for the gaining all knowledge." Two hundred and twenty years later, the need for Masonic knowledge is still with us. The right to know is yours. Your Library can provide the occasion. Heaven knows, we're not in competition with anyone else. If you have access to Masonic books from other sources, we are content. We simply want you to know that the Library is there, and that it exists for you, for the Masons of Ontario — to meet your needs, to fill your requests, to provide you with reading material. If you want help, tell us. If our service is inadequate, tell us. If you know of a book we ought to have, tell us.

Your Grand Lodge spends nearly five thousand dollars a year on the library, sixty per cent of that amount being set aside for rental. This is a lot of money, particularly when measured against the small number of our readers. Can we assume that the thousands upon thousands of Masons who ignore us do so by conscious choice, because they have no need of us? Would that we could! But how often do I hear a young Mason say, "Library? Masonic Library? What Library?" We cannot accomplish a thinft if nobody knows we're there. My Brethren, let me close with just one request. Will you see to it that every member of your lodge is at least aware that there is a Masonic Library? Otherwise our efforts are vain, our expenditures are wasted, our very existence is pointless.

AH of which is respectfully and fraternally submitted on behalf of the Committee.

REPORT ON THE REVISION OF THE CONSTITUTION

This report was presented by M.W. Bro. W. K. Bailey, Chairman, and on motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by M.W. Bro. Bailey, it was received and adopted.

To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and Members of the Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province of Ontario.

118 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

On behalf of the special Committee appointed by the Grand Master in July, 1976, I have the honour to present the report on the reorganization and revision of the Constitution of Grand Lodge.

Since 1972 -when the Grand Master requested R. Wor. Bro. H. Allan Leal to convene a committee to study a reorganization and revision with possible incorporation of the Rulings of Grand Masters into the Constitution proper, there have been two progress reports to Grand Lodge. The task has proven to be much more complex than was at first anticipated.

Apart from one major revision undertaken in 1887, some alterations to about thirty rules and regulations in 1926 and de- tailed specifications for lodge and Grand Lodge regalia and in- signia in 1947, amendments to the constitution have been rather minor in nature in the one hundred and twenty-two years of Grand Lodge.

A framework of reorganization was developed by R. Wor. Bro. Leal and his committee composed of M. Wor. Bros. W. K. Bailey, M. C. Hooper and H. L. Martyn and R. Wor. Bro. F. M. Cass. It was noted that of the over three hundred Rulings of Grand Masters listed on pages 135 to 169 of the 1972 Book of Constitution there were 127 repeats. The Committee recommended that the remainder be classified into three groups:

(a) rulings to be deleted in that they were made with specific factual situations in mind and for the purpose of amplification of the by-laws and regulations of Grand Lodge;

(b) rulings to be incorporated into the text without signifi- cant change; and

(c) rulings to appear in amended form.

Grand Lodge approved the recommendations in July 1973 and also the recommendation of the Grand Master that twenty-four rulings be rescinded forthwith.

With the retirement of R. Wor. Bro. Leal from the Board of General Purposes in July 1976, the committee was reconstituted by the Grand Master, M. Wor. Bro. E. W. Nancekivell, with the following brethren as members, namely R. Wor. Bro. H. A. Leal, V. Wor. Bro. J. V. Lawer and Wor. Bros. G. T. Rogers and A. F. Rodger with myself as Chairman. During the past 10 months our committee has held 20 meetings. A draft of a reorgan- ized and revised Constitution has been prepared for study and comment.

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1977 119

Our Committee recommends that Grand Lodge approve the printing of sufficient copies to supply one copy to each lodge and one to each member of the Board of General Purposes. The copies would be mailed early in September. The lodges and members would be requested to study the draft and be invited to submit suggestions for alterations or amendments thereto on or before January 1, 1978.

Our Committee would then be obligated to take under con- sideration all submissions and to complete any unfinished re- organization and revision. On or before April 1, 1978 a notice of motion would be mailed or delivered to the Grand Secretary, Such notice of motion would propose that the present Constitution be rescinded and that the proposed one be adopted. It would be expected that Grand Lodge would set aside at least one entire day of the 1978 annual meeting to discuss the Constitution sec- tion by section.

It will be noted that the proposed draft submitted for your consideration does not contain mention of the following topics:

(a) The Charges of a Freemason: pages 2 to 11 — no changes contemplated.

(b) Summary of Ancient Charges: pages 11 to 13 — no changes contemplated.

(c) Masonic Clothing: pages 82 to 106 — very few, if any changes contemplated other than a web belt to replace the rope girdle on all aprons and measurement specifi- cation to be metric.

(d) Rules respecting Trials: pages 107 to 122 — awaiting review by the Committee on Grievances and Appeals.

(e) Rules respecting Grants for Benevolence: pages 122 to 126 — awaiting review by the Committee on Benevo- lence.

(f) Prayers: pages 127 to 128 — deletion proposed since they are in the Work.

(g) Charges to E. A., F. C. and M. M. candidates: pages 128 to 133 — propose that since each is an essential part of the degree that they be deleted and printed in the Work which will likely be up for printing in 1978 or 1979,

(h) Forms: pages 169 to 174 — few, if any changes, con- templated.

120 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

Any changes in the import and content of the above-mentioned topics will appear in the notice of motion.

The recommended procedure for study, comment and de- cision on the Constitution will of necessity mean considerable expense for printing and distribution of the two drafts. Our Committee, however, is of the opinion that the anticipated in- terest, participation and contribution by many brethren will more than justify any additional costs to Grand Lodge.

Respectfully submitted,

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE CONDITION OF MASONRY

This report was presented by V.W. Bro. Norman E. Byrne, Chairman, and on motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by V.W. Bro. Byrne, it was received and adopted.

To the Most Worshipful, the Grand Master, Officers and Members of the Grand Lodge, A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province of Ontario.

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

On behalf of the Committee on the Condition of Masonry it is a distinct privilege for me, as its chairman, to present the Report on the Condition of Masonry to this 122nd Annual Con- vocation of the Grand Lodge of Canada in the Province of Ontario.

The members of this committee acknowledge with gratitude to the Grand East, the distinct privilege which is ours, to have been appointed to this committee and thereby given the oppor- tunity to report to this distinguished Grand Lodge on the general condition of Masonry therein as found throughout this Grand Jurisdiction by those zealous and dedicated Masons, the Past District Deputy Grand Masters, who have represented our beloved Grand Master in every part of Ontario.

A reading of the several reports discloses without exception that each and every District Deputy Grand Master has under-

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1977 121

gone a year of hard and satisfying work, enjoyed a myriad of experiences in Masonry, never to be forgotten, and offers a humble vote of thanks to those, who by the exercise of their Masonic franchise, caused each of them to be elected to their high and important offices, coupled with sincere gratitude to the Most Worshipful, the Grand Master for confirming their respective elections.

On a personal note I deem my appointment as chairman of the committee a high honour and a challenge, as I follow in the immediate footsteps of R.W. Bro. H. Allan Leal, a man of great physical stature and of even greater capacity for dedicated effort and an erudite ability of summarizing in most readable fashion the thousands of details contained in the various reports of each District Deputy Grand Master. These reports, in addition to con- taining the factual summary of lodge facilities, membership, advancement in knowledge through various forms of Masonic Education, comments on the ability of Worshipful Masters and junior officers to press ever forward by dedicated and tireless efforts, demonstrative summaries of the real existence of Masonic charity by the giving of blood, of money, but most importantly, by the giving of self, contain countless resumes of the results of innovative ideas, by which Masonic rulers of the Craft have sparked the interest and a new awareness of the great benefits to be derived from Masonic association into those members of our Fraternity who, through lack of attendance and participation in lodge meetings and affairs, have missed much of the many great and wonderful things life has to offer mankind in this rapidly changing world.

The report of each District Deputy recalls with pride and full District support and appreciation, the respective occasions, in fact the highlight of the year, when each District was able to welcome warmly into their midst, our beloved Grand Master M.W. Bro. Dr. Eric W. Nancekivell, as he dedicated a new Temple, con- stituted and consecrated a new lodge, addressed the brethren on the occasion of a special anniversary or happening, or simply joined the brethren in lodge for some moments of fraternal fellowship. Everywhere he travels, and he seems to travel every- where, he has been a living inspiration to his Masonic brethren as accompanied by his distinguished colleagues in Grand Lodge, he brings to each brother a real feeling of warmth and affection, a witty story, a friendly handshake and a lasting sense of frater- nity. May the Great Architect of the universe spare him and them for many years, that their service to Freemasonry may become a by-word. There are many brethren who have taken the time and interest to reflect on man's destiny in this year 1977, to acknowledge that man's modern lifestyle will respond to new concepts and novel ideas and yet have discovered that in a rapidly changing world, much pleasure, satisfaction and com- forting stability is to be gained by a re-dedication to the time honoured principles and ancient landmarks that each of us, as

122 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

Masons, have, by our own individual voluntary obligation, sworn to maintain and uphold.

Your committee extends its sincere thanks to the tremendous efforts the respective chairmen of Masonic Education Committees throughout the province have put forward this year under the very capable guidance of R.W. Bro. N. R. Richards, Chairman of the Committee of Masonic Education of Grand Lodge. It is safe to say on perusing the reports of the several District Deputy Grand Masters that all of us have had the opportunity to im- prove in Masonic Knowledge and wisdom at very regular intervals in every district. Masonic education sometimes in elaborate form and often in short and simple presentation, has now become an important part of almost every lodge meeting.

Several of the Districts conducted workshops to extend in- dividual knowledge, explain traditional portions of the ritual, delve into how modern methods of communication can create a better understanding of our history, how good business and fin- ancial planning can remove doubt and uncertaintv in a lodge's ability to meet ever increasing costs, and how each of us can demonstrate to our friends, our neighbours, and our business associates, why Masonry is not just a moral association of men, but a real way of life. At the risk of picking out one such pro- gram over many others, which reaped real benefits, your com- mittee extends its congratulations to Toronto District 1 for a repeat of a Masonic workshop, instituted last \ear but with a new theme to entice the many, who were in attendance to participate again this year.

Your committee is pleased to report that the brethren who met in the East Toronto Masonic Temple, were, by stint of hard work, personal sacrifice and an energetic organization, able to overcome the disastrous effects of a fire that damaged their Temple in February, 1977.

Your committee is pleased to go on record in extending fraternal congratulations to three new lodges which were consti- tuted and consecrated in the past year: in Toronto District 1 — Mount Moriah Lodge Number 727; in Waterloo District — Cambridge Lodge Number 728; in Toronto District 3 — Friendship Lodge Number 729. A new research lodge is presently being formed in Waterloo District hailing by the name Heritage Lodge.

It is encouraging to note that many of our lodges are exam- ining their dues and membership fees structure in the light of today's rapidly escalating costs. Caution must be observed in not taking the easy road, leaving dues in their present amount, just because the lodge has today funds to meet current expenses. Some lodges have taken a more realistic view by looking down the road a few years, when greatly increased taxes, which may result from the new assessment program in Ontario, may eat up presently

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1977 123

adequate resources and create for the brethren of 1980 a serious financial problem. Action today may yet well forestall a calamity in just a few short years. Much has been said by District Deputy Grand Masters and by those Grand Lodge officers charged with Grand Lodge financial planning that we, as Masons, may well be "selling ourselves too short" in the long run. How much do we, as individuals, spend each year for rest and relaxation, to support our church, to provide extra luxuries and convenience, to main- tain membership in golf, curling, tennis, squash and sailing clubs, to indulge in personal extravagances, for travel? Each facet of life has a price or a cost. Some may suggest that we, as Masons, have not put as much importance on maintaining active, finan- cially sound and healthy lodges as well we might. A word to the wise should be sufficient. Each of us is called on to personally examine his own personal, financial priorities and take such steps as will ensure for future generations a happy and precious heritage — a Masonic lodge that stands out in our community for all to see and admire.

Your committee is pleased to see that Masonry in Victoria District has taken a turn for the better as a result of the brethren being able to meet in the new accommodation afforded in the new Temple at Coboconk. Our congratulations to those who by personal sacrifice and organized effort brought this Masonic dream into reality.

When each of us entered the Masonic portals of our mother lodge for the first time we were actively put to the true test of Masonic charity and realized personally, many for the first time, the plight of those, who, through no fault of their own, had not been blessed with too large a measure of this world's goods. Charity is one of our landmarks and your committee is indeed pleased to see a continuance and an expansion of the custom of making a memorial donation to the Masonic Foundation of Ontario on the death of a lodge brother, where floral tributes have been the custom in the past. What an excellent method of enshrining the memory of a departed brother, by investing in the future of some young person whose contribution to life as a result of being able to continue in studies will reap dividends that will benefit humanity for years to come.

Each of us should personally make our goal each year a contribution to our Masonic Foundation, a continuing re-affirma- tion, even though it be small, of our obligation to love our brother.

At this time of year, when we, as Canadians, celebrate our national birthday, our attention is focused to the reports of the District Deputies, to those lodges who have been favourably blessed with the realization of one hundred years of service to mankind and to the Great Architect of the Universe. Your com- mittee, on behalf of us all, extends congratulations to the lodges

124 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

who this past year have venerated tradition, emblazoned their regalia with a glint of gold and celebrate their first one hundred years.

The acknowledgement of wisdom and the elegance of antiquity is passed on to St. John's Lodge No. 17 and Moira Lodge No. 1 1 on attaining one hundred and seventy-five years of service to Masons in Ontario — congratulations.

The Library Committee of Grand Lodge is composed of dedicated Masons who have taken upon themselves the arduous task of disseminating Masonic information by making known to all who would listen the many great treasures of learning, we as Masons have so easily available in our Masonic Library in Toronto. Books, audio visual aids and presentations, slides, and taped addresses are yours for the asking and the District Deputies repeatedly report that while many lodges have large or small libraries, many of our brethren are using this most interesting facility and thereby enlightening themselves and in most cases, extending that enlightenment on to others.

Where lodge libraries are very small or non-existent, some of our District Deputy Grand Masters have presented to each lodge on the occasion of their official inspection, a current vol- ume of one of our new and appealing Grand Lodge publications as an incentive to the starting of a Masonic Library in each Masonic lodge.

The brethren of Toronto Districts have done a great service to their community by establishing "operation life line", a cam- paign to purchase and equip a mobile blood donors' unit in the Metropolitan Toronto area to assist the general public in the giving of blood — the gift of life. Your committee extends thanks to those energetic Masons who would rather give than receive.

The reports of the District Deputy Grand Masters are full of comments and observations of new and useful ideas and pro- grams to stimulate and maintain membership, reduce dues arrears to an absolute minimum, assist lodge secretaries in the exercise of their continuing responsibilities and increase lodge funds for special purposes and objects. Your committee deems it advantage- ous to report on some of the more imaginative ones. The recording, storage and safekeeping of lodge minutes and records sometimes poses a problem when lodge records go back for many years. One lodge has found the microfilming of these minutes and records an economical yet safe and secure method of preserva- tion. The films are readily available when needed for historical purposes, yet small in physical size for convenient storage.

In these days of new concepts and laws in the recording of the ownership of real property, your committee recommends that lodges consider favourably the ownership of Masonic Temples,

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1977 125

often in the past, recorded in the names of individual trustees, be held in non-share capital corporations incorporated under Ontario law, operated widiout profit, by a board of directors, capable of the change in personnel made necessary by the frail- ties of human existence. The office of the Grand Secretary is ever willing and able to render much assistance in the form and set up of these Masonic holding corporations and has assisted many new Temple corporations to get their start in ventures of this nature. Your committee recommends that early contact should be made with the Grand Secretary before proceeding legally in this area.

One lodge has reduced its dues arrears to zero by the aid of a special "dues envelope" forwarded with the lodge summons to those Brethren who have not paid their current membership fees, serving as a specific reminder to those whose memory need be jogged and making it easy for a member to transmit his payment in a timely fashion.

Some Masters have used, with great success, simple little "one liners", items of Masonic education, which further our knowledge and understanding of our Craft, take little time to digest, and fill a gap in the lodge program arising out of emer- gency or unforeseen circumstances. Some careful planning and research by those whose responsibility is Masonic education, can make a meeting run smoother and enlighten the Brethren at the same time.

For years, members whose interest has waned for one reason or another, has caused us all concern and anxiety. Several of the reports point out the success "fellowship visitation" programs have reaped. Members on emergent meeting nights visit sick and older members and those who have not been out to lodge for a while, thereby giving these Brethren a real reason for knowing that their lodge Brethren care and are concerned, and at the same time, have afforded all the opportunity to exchange news of lodge affairs, enquire as to the health and the member's physi- cal ability to get out to lodge. A personal visit to a member in his home is only an extension of lodge visitation and is a real way of keeping the spirit of Masonry alive and well, not only in the hearts of those who receive the visit, but those who have the opportunity of making it. Your committee also recommends that before a member is suspended for non-payment of dues, a per- sonal visit is almost a necessity to enlighten the lodge of any particular problem that may be present which may have caused the member to fall into arrears. It also serves well the preceding purposes of renewing old friendships and encouraging a brother to attend lodge more regularly, if possible.

We note, with interest, how often in all parts of Ontario the constant accumulation of household goods or ornaments has pro- moted the new concept of "garage sales". A timely device for ex-

126 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

changing, what to one person is now an object which must be stored, dusted off and moved from time to time, into a unique purchase of a needed item, often hard to find, which is just the thing to trim that oft-neglected hedge, parts to repair an other- wise good appHance, or a knick-knack that will look so well in that '"special" shelf or in that awkward corner of the room. Here is an obvious way to "clean house" for lodge members and at the same time, a painless method of raising funds for that special lodge project and fun for all to boot.

Your committee is encouraged by some reports that our Fraternity is meeting with more acceptance by the young men in our society. Though Masonry competes for the attention of young men with sports and athletic programs, night-time extension courses and television and other more material distractions, let us continue our efforts to attract young men, for it is this new generation that abounds with energy and which will provide us with the leaders of tomorrow.

One must compare the zest and exuberance of youth with the wisdom and knowledge of age. Your committee acknowledges the debt we, as Masons, owe to so many of our brethren who have been recognized by receiving Grand Lodge Jewels as out- ward tokens of their many years of service to the Craft. Each District Deputy has expressed what great pleasure they take in the presentation of these long service jewels to those of our Brethren who have earned the right to wear them.

Our sympathy goes out to the Brethren in St. Thomas District as they mourn the passing of V.W. Bro. Dr. George Kennedy who, until his death, at the grand age of 102 years, rendered con- tinuous service to the Brethren in his District.

Your committee would be remiss in its duty if it did not record, with sincere appreciation, the fine efforts of all the District Deputy Grand Masters, the District Secretaries, and the District Chaplains. Our gratitude is also recorded to the respective chair- men of District Committees on Masonic Education. Benevolence and Blood Donors. These Brethren are the mainstay of our Fraternity, whose energetic and dedicated effort is an inspiration to us all and who, by their leadership and the results achieved, have made our Grand Lodge the envy of all who behold. May the most high continue to prosper their united endeavours.

Your committee, in closing this report of the many happenings in this, our fair Province of Ontario, and in our beloved Grand Lodge in the Masonic year now closing, has great pleasure in stating unequivocally that when examined in fine detail, one can sometimes see that problems and challenges have caused many concern and have, at times, stretched the duties of leadership to "bow string tightness" yet in the overall picture, the dedication

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1977 127

and self-sacrifice of countless thousands of Masons, working to- gether in a spirit of harmony, peace and goodwill, has over- come all difficulties and dangers and has so honed and polished the condition of Masonry in this Grand Jurisdiction so that it shines forth with a brilliance that will clearly light our way with certainty into the dawn of another Masonic year.

May I, on behalf of the committee, extend my sincere thanks and appreciation to M.W. Bro. Jack Irvine, Grand Secre- tary, and his staff for the many courtesies extended to your committee during the year and particularly during the compila- tion of this report.

All of which is respectfully and fraternally submitted on behalf of the committee.

NORMAN E. BYRNE, Chairman.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE GRAND MASTER'S ADDRESS

This report was presented by M.W. Bro. G. E. Turner, seconded by M.W. Bro. W. L. Wright; it was received and adopted.

To the Officers and Members of the Grand Lodge, A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province of Ontario.

Brethren:

Your Committee extends smcere congratulations to our Grand Master on the zeal and dedication which he has exhibited in discharging the duties of his office during the past year. The Grand Master or his representative has visited many of the Grand Jurisdictions and has devoted a great deal of time and energy in cementing fraternal relations between our Grand Lodge and those Grand Lodges with which we are in amity.

Your Committee congratulates our Grand Master on the many well-earned and well-deserved honours which he has re- ceived and particularly on filling the Chairmanship of the Conference of Grand Masters of North America. It was a signal honour and one which our Grand Master richly deserved.

We recognize and wholeheartedly support the warm welcome extended by our Grand Master to our guests from other Grand Lodges and concordant bodies.

Your Committee shares with the Grand Master the sadness on the deaths of so many of our brethren and particularly R.W. Bro. Kipp and V.W. Bro. Kennedy. These brethren have served Masonry well and will be long remembered in their Lodges and Districts.

Your Committee approves the granting of Past Rank to those brethren listed in his address. Your Committee also approves all appointments made by your Grand Master. We particularly wish to join with the Grand Master in extending congratulations to those veteran Masons who have served our fraternity for 50 years or more and also those who have been a Past Master for 60 years. Your Committee also joins with the Grand Master in congratulating the recipients of the William Mercer Wilson Medal, may they wear it long and proudly.

Your Committee approves the donations authorized by your Grand Master, especially commending him on the donation to the striken brethren in Cobalt, Ontario, which was ravaged by a severe fire.

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1977 131

Your Committee agrees whole-heartedly with the recom- mendation of the Grand Master that R.W. Bro. Eric C. Horwood be appointed an Honorary member of the Grand Lodge Board of General Purposes. We agree that Grand Lodge is indeed for- tunate to have men of the calibre of Bro. Horwood on our Board.

Your Grand Master concludes with mention of the contribu- tions which certain colleagues have made during his term of office. He also writes very fully and coherently on the future of Masonry and this particular section should be read over and over again.

Your Committee recommends that Grand Lodge confirm all that the Grand Master has reported in his address and your Committee joins with all the brethren in thanking him for his stellar leadership during the past two years and wishing him long life and good health.

GEORGE E. TURNER,

Chairman.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON GRIEVANCES AND APPEALS

This report was presented by R.W. Bro. P. S. Mac- Kenzie, Chairman; on motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by R.W. Bro. MacKenzie, it was re- ceived and adopted.

To the Most Worshipful, the Grand Master, Officers and Members of the Grand Lodge, A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province of Ontario.

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

Your Committee on Grievances and Appeals presents its report in the following parts:

1. ESPANOLA LODGE No. 527, vs. BRO. GERALD STANLEY SHEA.

132 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

A charge of unmasonic conduct was laid in the Lodge against Bro. Gerald Stanley Shea under Rule 1(P) alleging that the accused had been guilty of a public crime involving moral turpi- tude in that he had been charged initially with murder, con- victed at the Town of Whitby on the 18th of April, 1975 of the included offense of manslaughter, and sentenced on the 26th day of May, 1975 to twelve years in a penitentiary. The offense with which Bro. Shea was charged was committed on or about the 14th day of July. 1973. His first Court appearance seems to have been on April 18, 1974, when a plea of Not Guilty was entered by the accused. On April 26, 1974, a mistrial was declared and the accused was remanded to May 27, 1974 for trial. On that date, the matter was further remanded for trial at the next Assizes of the Court at Whitby. On October 8, 1974, the case was further ad- journed, at the request of the Crown, by reason of the unavail- ability of a vital witness. Trial commenced on January 13, 1975, the accused entering a plea of Not Guilty. On January 20, 1975, after trial, the jury returned to report they could not agree and the case was then traversed to the next assize at Whitby. On April 14, 1975, the accused again entered a plea of Not Guilty and on April 17, 1975, he was found fit to stand trial by jury. As indi- cated above, on April 18, 1975, a jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty to murder but guilty of manslaughter.

This rather extensive explanation of the events is given to account for the delay in processing this complaint by Espanola Lodge. Quite properly, they could not proceed with a hearing until a trial had taken place and a verdict delivered in the Criminal Court. Great difficulty was then encountered by the Lodge's Secretary in attempting to discover where Bro. Shea was incar- cerated. However, in June of 1976, Bro. Shea was served by registered mail at his last known place of residence in the city of Toronto pursuant to Rule 5, this residence being out of the juris- diction of Espanola Lodge. A Masonic Trial was held on September 8, 1976, at an emergent meeting of the Lodge. Bro. Shea was not present and a well skilled brother was appointed to represent him. There was little however that this brother could urge on Bro. Shea's behalf as the evidence at trial consisted of a Certificate of Conviction issued out of the Supreme Court of Ontario office for the Judicial District of Durham. Espanola Lodge found Bro. Shea guilty of the charge as laid and voted for indefinite suspension and recommended to Grand Lodge that he be expelled.

Your Committee have been in communication with the offi- cers of Espanola Lodge since 1975 and are well aware of the difficulties they have experienced in attempting to properly pro- cess this charge. While there have been some deviations from strict compliance with our rules of procedure, in view of all the circumstances and the delay, frustration and difficulties experi- enced by the Lodge, your Committee is of the view that any technical objections to the regularity of the proceedings should be

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1977 133

waived, and the action of the Lodge approved. It is therefore recommended that Bro. Gerald Stanley Shea be notified to attend the next Annual Communication of Grand Lodge to show cause why he should not be expelled and in the meantime, the sentence of indefinite suspension should be continued.

This is the only case for presentation to Grand Lodge at this Communication. However, during the course of the year, your Committee has been consulted with regard to many other matters of concern to our Constituent Lodges and to their Officers. Our most pressing problem at the moment is the obvious reluctance of Lodges to proceed with charges involving offences under Rule 1(S)—

"Adultery and all lascivious association, whether with the relative of a Mason or with a stranger."

This problem has been adverted to on many occasions in our reports to Grand Lodge. Regretfully, our suggestions do not seem to have been widely acceptable. The present permissiveness of society generally seems to engender a reticence in our members to act, even in the most blatant cases of breach of this fundamental precept of our Order. The incidence of members of Lodges living in a flagrant common law relationship is widespread. Yet, their brethren ofttimes refuse to take any action, even in the face of incontrovertible proof of their continued violation of their Masonic Obligations. The situation has become so serious that in two instances your Committee has regretfully been forced to recommend to the Grand Master that he establish a commission to investigate the continued refusal of Lodges to discipline their errant brethren.

Adherence to a strict moral code is one of the first pre- requisites of our Order and one of our ancient landmarks. Two excerpts from our ancient charges delineate our duty:

"A Mason is obligated by his tenure to obey the moral law" — "You are to act as becomes a moral and wise man."

Notorious violations of this fundamental precept result in adverse publicity for the Constituent Lodge and an insidious de- terioration of the unenviable reputation universally accorded our Order in our Communities. It would therefore appear mandatory that every officer and member of our Lodges should be prepared to assume the often unpleasant task of recommending and pur- suing prompt and firm disciplinary action against erring Brethren.

Respectfully and fraternally submitted,

P. STUART MacKENZIE, Chairman.

134 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

REPORT OF THE MASONIC FOUNDATION OF ONTARIO

M. Wor. Bro. W. K. Bailey presented the following report. On Motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by M. Wor. Bro. Bailey, it was received and adopted.

To the Most Worshipful, the Grand Master, Officers and Members of the Grand Lodge, A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province of Ontario.

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

On behalf of The Masonic Foundation of Ontario, I, as President of the Board of Directors, have the honour to present the report of the Fourteenth Annual Meeting of The Foundation which was held at 9:30 a.m., July 19, 1977, in the Royal York Hotel.

At the end of the fiscal year, April 30, 1977, total assets were $254,396.67, an increase of $21,219.07 from one year ago. Included in the assets are bonds having a cost value of $247,402.50 and a par value of $255,000.00. Interest from investments was $15,985.00, an increase of $2,766.34 over a year ago.

Disbursements for the year were $11,075.00 in bursaries to students in post secondary school institutions and $2,320.00 to the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada (Ontario Division). The operating expenses have been $774.69 for audit, postage and stationery.

The Board of Directors is most grateful to the Grand Master and the members of The Foundation, especially the D.D.G.M.s, for excellent public relations on behalf of The Foundation. Although we are receiving financial support from ever increasing numbers of lodges, associations and brethren, we have been utterly amazed that this worthy charitable arm of the Masons of Ontario is still so little known and appreciated by our brethren. There is a well-known slogan "Tell it well and it will sell". Your Directors have been endeavouring to do just that and we plead for more of the members of The Foundation to assist us.

A total of $16,871.65 in contributions was received from 90 lodges. 22 associations and 200 members in addition to 2 bequests. Your Directors are appreciative of the 5, 10 and 25 dollar dona- 'tions as of the larger amounts such as:

$1,700.00 the lodges of Waterloo District 1,000.00 the Wilbert G. Welby Estate 1,000.00 the Albert D. Hahnau Estate

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1977 135

500.00 Bedford Lodge No. 638 on 50th Anniversary 500.00 Caledonia Lodge No. 637 on 50th Anniversary 600.00 Miller Paving Employees in memory of

Albert Crone 680.00 London P.M.s' Association 600.00 Hamilton Scottish Rite Bodies 250.00 Zetland Lodge No. 326 for the 7th consecutive

year 350.00 W.M.s of Toronto 270.00 lodges of Ottawa 1 District

Bursaries were awarded to 32 students in 16 colleges and universities. James J. Talman of the Board of Directors again assumed the task of adjudicating the several requests for assist- ance which had been recommended by the guidance counsellors of the colleges. We are very appreciative of the cooperation of those D.D.G.M.s who personally presented the awards to the students. Responses from the awards officers, students and the D.D.G.M.s, attest that our emergency financial aid has been ministering to an urgent need. Apart from a donation to the Multiple Sclerosis Society for research in the amount of $200.00, we provided much needed equipment for a young lady who is physically handicapped from multiple sclerosis. No doubt you will be interested in learning that $1,000.00 was forwarded to the Cobalt Fire Victims Fund.

May I, on your behalf, extend grateful appreciation to our Secretary-Treasurer, T. John Arthur, who has processed the over 400 contributions, mailed double that number of acknowledg- ments, responded to requests for memorial folders, fulfilled many speaking engagements on behalf of The Foundation and main- tained all records to the entire satisfaction of our auditors.

Finally your Board gives due notice that plans are being laid to launch an every member canvas in 1978-79. We have set a goal of $500,000.00 in Capital Funds for the Foundation by 1980 when Grand Lodge will mark the 125th anniversary. With added income from such funding we propose to assist in meeting the urgent need for equipment for physically handicapped children.

Since the close of our fiscal year The Foundation has re- ceived a bequest of nearly $25,000.00 from the estate of the late V.W. Bro. Harry Palmer of Oshawa.

Respectfully submitted,

136 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

REPORT OF THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON LODGE BUILDINGS

This report was presented by R.W. Bro. E. C. Horwood, Chairman; on motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by R.W. Bro. Horwood, it was received and adopted.

To the Most Worshipful the Grnnd Master, Officers and Members of Grand Lodge, A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province of Ontario.

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

Twenty years ago, in July, 1957, shortly after our late esteemed M. W. Bro. Harry L. Martyn was elected Grand Master, this Advisory Committee was established with the late R.W. Bro. Geo. T. Evans being appointed as its first chairman. In the interim, inquiries have been received by the Grand Secretary from 259 Lodges and'or Temple Corporations. In the last 12 months, not only were there another 13 inquiries, which is the average for the twenty year period, but, also, there were 6 new Temples occupied and dedicated. In addition, your Committee has had the pleasure of helping four delegations who came to the Grand Lodge offices in Hamilton. Each delegation had its own particular problem and each was most appreciative of the help it received.

Because the design of most of the drawings, submitted to this Committee for approval, do not conform with Grand Lodge Regulations, it was the opinion of the Committee that, in order to assist those who prepare drawings for submission to the Advisory Committee, the following information will serve a useful purpose.

The following Regulations, which must be followed, are. for all intents and purposes, those which were adopted twenty years ago by Grand Lodge at the Annual Communication in July, 1957.

( 1 ) No property shall be acquired for the purpose of erecting a Temple until the plot plan of the same has been submitted to and approved by the Advisory Com- mittee.

(2) No new building shall be erected until drawings have been approved by the Advisory Committee.

(3) No building shall be purchased for use as a Masonic Temple until the drawings of such building have been

TORO>a'0, ONTARIO, 1977 137

submitted to the Advisory Committee to enable it to determine if such building can be altered to comply with the regulations.

(4) No lodge or group of members shall enter into an agreement to rent or lease any building or part of a building until the drawings of such building have been approved by the Advisory Committee.

(5) No lodge shall have alterations which contain struct- ural changes and/or additions made to any existing building until drawings for such work have been ap- proved by the Advisory Committee.

(6) All drawings must be drawn to a scale of Va" or Va" to the foot and submitted, IN DUPLICATE, to the Grand Secretary for examination and approval by the Ad- visory Committee before any work is commenced.

(7) All contact with the Advisory Committee on Lodge Buildings shall be made only through the Grand Secre- tary.

(8) A lodge cannot occupy or use new or remodelled or extended premises before dedication of same without the permission of the Grand Master.

(9) The procedure to be followed by the Lodge, group of members, or Temple Corporation, as the case may be, is to advise the District Deputy Grand Master when the premises are ready for occupancy. The District Deputy Grand Master, on completion, will then inspect the premises to see that the work conforms with the ap- proved drawings and correspondence. To assist him, he will receive a copy of Form L.B.I, together with a Questionnaire which he will have to fill out for the Advisory Committee to check, before the Committee can recommend, through the Grand Secretary, to the Grand Master that he permit occupancy pending dedi- cation.

(10) Lodges shall not give notice of meeting in the new premises unless and until the Grand Master's permis- sion to do so has been obtained. This usually requires not less than three weeks. Lodges shall govern them- selves accordingly.

The building committee of the Lodge, group of members, or Temple Corporation, as the case may be, should warn those' whether they be members of the Craft or not, who prepare drawings for submission to the Advisory Committee, that it is

138 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

very important to follow the requirements of Grand Lodge contained in,

(1) Grand Lodge Bulletins, Forms L.B.I and L.B.2

(2) Fire Regulations No. L

(3) The National Building Code of Canada (1975) and/or

(4) Chapter 2, entitled "Common Requirements" of the 1971 Ontario Building Fire Safety Design Standard, and/or

(5) The Ontario New Building Code, always keeping in mind that

(a) The National Building Code is essentially a set of min- imum regulations respecting safety of buildings with reference to public health, fire protection and struct- ural sufficiency/ and

(b) Where variations occur, THE HIGHEST STANDARD SHALL ALWAYS GOVERN. Much time, effort ana money will be saved in the preparation and time b> your Committee and the Lodges in the fruition of their project.

As in the past, the Advisory Committee has been pleased to help each of the several Lodges, groups and Temple Corpor- ations, which sought assistance but let me assure our Brethren that, at no time, does the Advisory Committee derive pleasure when it has to inform a Lodge that it cannot approve the project as presented. What really distresses the Committee is to learn that a project has been undertaken without the knowledge of this Committee who, in turn, must inform the Lodge that the work must stop until the project does receive the Committee's approval. At times, the Advisory Committee has been pleased to assist with advice far beyond its responsibilities.

As Chairman of this Committee I realize how fortunate not only I have been, but also Grand Lodge is, in having two such dedicated Masons as the other two members of this Com- mittee. I refer, of course, to the Grand Secretary, M.W. Bro. J. A. Irvine, and M.W. Bro. Ewart G. Dixon, Grand Secretary Emeritus.

All of which is respectfully and fraternally submitted.

E. C. HORWOOD,

Chairman.

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1977 139

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON AUDIT AND FINANCE

Presented by V.W. Bro. J. W. Millar, Chairman, on motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by V.W. Bro. Millar, it was received and adopted.

To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and Members of the Grand Lodge, A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province of Ontario.

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

This Committee has now reviewed and considered in detail the reports of the Grand Treasurer, the Auditor's report attached thereto, and the report of the Grand Secretary as referred to it by this Annual Communication. These appear to fully and accurately record the essential details pertaining to —

(a) the financial position of this Grand Lodge as of April 30, 1977, and the results of its fiscal operations on a cash basis for the twelve-month period ended on that date.

(b) details of all Receipts and Disbursements in respect to the General Fund, The Commutation Fund, the Memorial Fund, and the Semi-Centennial Fund; together with particulars of all transactions and changes in Capital Accounts of Grand Lodge, which have occurred during the said period.

(c) the Investment Accounts of the above mentioned Funds and the summary of all financial resources as of April 30, 1977.

The following observations respecting certain matters covered by these reports, and or, relative to its financial affairs, are presented for your consideration.

( 1 ) The Audited Statements of Grand Lodge accounts show that the net balance of all its resources now amounts to $1,942,156.67. This net balance includes total investments at cost value (not market value), plus cash on hand and in the bank and represents an increase in assets of $31,775.25 over figures of a year ago.

(2) Following traditional policy, Grand Lodge Funds are invested in Trustee Securities with the exception of $170,000.00 Series "A" and $40,000.00 Series "B" debentures of Masonic Holdings which are payable on demand after June 1, 1978. These were acquired under specific authority of this Grand Lodge in 1959. So far $182,000.00 of these debentures have been re- deemed, including $10,000.00 redeemed on April 30th, 1977.

140 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

All securities, with few exceptions, are fully registered as to capital interest, and are currently held in the custody of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, Hamilton, Ontario, whose certificate of confirmation is referred to in the Auditor's Report.

(3) Total receipts under the General Fund for fees, dues, commutations, interest on investments, etc. amounted to $304,687.95 while disbursements totalled $305,992.81 leaving a current deficit of $1,304.86.

(4) Grants for benevolent purposes, less those refunded and cancelled amounted to $60,128.70 an increase of $3,858.04 from a year ago. These grants were paid out of the combined incomes of the Memorial and Semi-Centennial Funds, as supple- mented by transfers from the General Fund, which last year amounted to $21,500.00. The anticipated amount for the coming year is the same. The Committee on Audit and Finance there- fore recommends that in order to provide these funds, the Board of General Purposes authorize in accordance with Section 119 of the Constitution, appropriation from the General Fund up to the amount of $21,500.00. Such funds to be transferred as and when required to the combined Memorial and Semi- Centennial Funds, in order to supplement the interest and income therefrom, thus making adequate provision for all benevolent grants which Grand Lodge may make during the period May 1, 1977 to April 30, 1978. It should be noted that the Committee on Benevolence has shown great care in administering its funds.

Your committee recommends approval of the special dona- tions to charitable institutions totalling $4,400.00 which were made under the authority of the Grand Master as itemized in the Financial Statement.

In its review of all matters covered by this report, your Committee has received the fullest cooperation and assistance from the Grand Secretary and his staff. The cooperation of the Grand Treasurer is also appreciated. Your Committee now formally recommends to this Grand Lodge the adoption, without amendment, the reports of the above mentioned officers and approval of the recommendations contained in the report of this Committee.

In accordance with Section 101 of the Constitution, your Committee submits for consideration and approval, an estimate of Receipts and Expenditures as it relates to the General Fund for the year ending April 30, 1978.

Chairman.

REPORT OF THE GRAND CHAPLAIN

The Grand Chaplain, R.W. Bro. Rev. G. C. Coster Scovil presented his report. On motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by R.W. Bro. Scovil, it was re- ceived and adopted.

To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and Members of Grand Lodge, A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province of Ontario.

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

For the honour and privilege of being appointed Grai. . Chaplain and the wonderful Masonic Experience of this past year, thank you. Most Worshipful Grand Master. For your in-

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1977 143

spiration, commencing with your Address at the last Annual Communication when, in your conclusion, you emphasized the Ancient Landmarks of Masonry and appended to your Address Ap- pendix "'B" "Aims and Relationships of the Craft" from the Grand Lodge of England, and continuing with your various addresses, which I heard throughout the year — thank you. Fortunate were the Brethren v/ho heard your talks on "Discipline", "Qualities of the Worshipful Master", "Progress" in the world and in Masonry and your historical address on the Grand Masters from your home area of Hamilton. I will never forget your story of the hen and the pig discussing total commitment. Actually your total commitment to Masonry and your friendship are wonderfully reflected in Grand Lodge Officers and in various lodges visited.

With gratitude I remember my Brethren of my Mother Lodge, Aurum No. 704 in Timmins and the Brethren of Temiska- ming District where my Masonic Life began. I appreciate the Brethren of Beaver Lodge No. 83 in Strathroy who have graciously received me as an affiliated member and with ap- propriate honours presented me with the Grand Chaplain's Regalia, the gift of an anonymous donor. It was a joy and honour to be installed by Most Worshipful Brother William Wright, my former Metropolitan, who has encouraged me in Masonry. Thank you too, to the Grand Secretary and the Super- visor of Benevolence for their vital guidance and encouragement. Particularly a thank you to each of the District Chaplains and the District Deputy Grand Masters who have been so co-operative.

We had forty-three District Chaplains of whom thirteen were laymen and thirty were ordained clergy. Our ranks included one newly entered into Masonry, many Past Masters and a former Grand Chaplain of Ontario and a Past Grand Chaplain of British Columbia and the Yukon. One Chaplain is seventy-five years old but still a man of vigour and young in heart. During the year one Chaplain was elected mayor of an important city and another became Chaplain in the Canadian Armed Forces. Reports indicate much hard work, with one chaplain making thirty-one visits to eighteen lodges — giving twenty-one Invocation Prayers and five Masonic Education talks. At his District Service over one hundred and fifty Masons were present. One Chaplain em- phasized the importance of "Work" well done for the sake of candidates concerned, and another recommended the importance of protocol of "reverse order of precedence" in the official visit of the D.D.G.M.

Every District seems to have had its District service or services. Many lodges too have had public Masonic services. One service occurred on the Friday Sabbath evening. Services were held on Sundays beginning at 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Services took place in parks, synagogues, a Salvation Army Citadel and Churches of numerous denominations. With one exception, encouraging attendance of Masons was indicated. One Chaplain wrote "I find

144 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION

the services bring the men together on a slightly different basis than the regular Lodge meetings and it improves the relation- ship as a whole." Sermons were preached on: "What sayest Thou of Thyself", "God and Man", "The Pillars of King Solomon's Temple", "The Romance of our English Volume of the Sacred Law — the Bible' and "Can you be a committed Jew or Christian and a Mason? '

Masonic Education opportunities were reported by the District Chaplains. Many of them expressed their appreciation that the District Deputy Grand Masters gave them opportunities to speak to the brethren on the official visits to the various lodges. The Bruce Masonic News had an article by the District Chaplain — "Things that money cannot buy" and The Tracing Board (Algoma and Western Districts) Spring Edition 1976 had an article on "Freemasonry and Religion" and another on "Charity". Several Chaplains spoke at Masonic Education evenings.

The opportunities of sharing in Masonic Ceremonial were some of the highlights of the year for me. The beauty of the words and the dignity of the ceremony underlined the richness of Masonic work. On the one hand there was the wonderful fulfilment of dreams in the dedication of new temples and the constituting and consecrating of new lodges. I was im- pressed by the tremendous effort and self-sacrifice of so many Masons which lay behind these occasions. It also gave one good opportunity to observe the excellency of both our Grand Master and Deputy Grand Master in their conducting of these cere- monies. On the other hand, it was a joy to share in the present- ation and dedication of Centennial regalia when we remembered the rich heritage of the past hundred years and looked forward hopefully into the second Century. Basic to this is, of course, the annual Installation ceremonies, the Work of degrees and the opening and closing of Lodges. I am sure that years of Masonry will not reveal all the richness of our ceremonial.

Worship was naturally a part of the Grand Chaplain's ex- perience. I preached at two District services, although I prefer District Chaplains to do this, and had the privilege of preaching at the Annual Memorial Service for our First Grand Master at St. John's Church, Woodhouse. A highlight of the year for me was sharing in the Annual Masonic Divine Service of the Seven Toronto Districts at Beth Sholom Synagogue. The overflowing response of the brethren astounded all concerned. We were in- spired by the beautiful music of the Cantor and Choir. We will not soon forget the sermon by Rabbi Harold Lerner based on Jacob's Ladder. I hope that in future years there will be one or more rabbis among the District Chaplains and that the time will come that a Rabbi will be our Grand Chaplain. Another happy event was being invited to preach at the Annual Christmas Observance Service of Richard Coeur de Lion Preceptory No. 4, Knights Templar in London.

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1977 145

Masonic. Education was a part of the Grand Chaplain's year. In this year I have learned a lot about the tremendous work of Grand Lodge through attendance at the meetings of the Board of General Purposes. To listen to the reports of Blood Donors, Masonic Foundation with its aid to deserving students and research work and Benevolence was an inspiration — such bles- sings to others in our commimities. In an age of moral chaos, it is good to find moral standards upheld with justice and mercy in The Grievances and Appeals Committee. How excellent is our newest publication, "Meeting the Challenge" to aid all regular officers in carrying out their responsibilities with dignity and fitness! Surely one of the great privileges of this past year was to hear the Very Worshipful H. Carr deliver his superb lecture on "Six Hundred Years of Masonry."

Fellowship was another richness for the Grand Chaplain. It began with Grand Lodge Night at Centennial Lodge No. 684 in London when I wore the Grand Chaplain's regalia for the first time. Grand Lodge Officers past and present put on a degree and then there was a banquet. Then there were the banquets con- nected with the Dedications, Consecrations, special District visits of the Grand Master and Centennial visits. Inevitable was the piper who piped us in, the well cooked meals provided by members of various organizations or wives of the local brethren and the inspiring addresses of either our Grand Master or Deputy Grand Master. Each time there was opportunity to get to know one or two brethren and to meet old aquaintances. For Brotherly love, thank you Brethren.

With deep regret I had to turn down almost thirty kind invitations. These invitations were appreciated and thank you for them. Parochial duties and this past year some academic commitments made it impossible to attend many events. The gracious understanding of the Grand Master and others helped immensely.

This past year I have indeed witnessed the workings of the Most High in The Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province of Ontario. May He continue to bless our Masonic endeavours in the years ahead and may each one of us regularly remember in our prayers our Grand Master, Grand Lodge, our District Officers and the officers and members of our own Lodges as well as our Masonic Brethren in fellowship with us throughout the world.

Respectfully submitted,

C. COSTER SCOVIL,

Grand Chaplain.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE

FOREWORD

To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and Members of Grand Lodge, A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province of Ontario.

Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:

The Report of the Committee on Fraternal Correspondence is a foreword to the reviews which follow. These reviews give an analysis and summary of the activities of the Grand Lodges throughout the world with whom we are in amity. We are in- debted to R.W. Bro. J. J. Talman for his fine work in compiling the reviews since 1961. It is a mammoth task and R.W. Bro. Talman has accomplished that task so well.

For the past several years, the Lodges in our Jurisdiction have been deeply concerned with the rise in assessment and taxes on Masonically owned buildings. The Grand Master of Florida laid down regulations for Lodges there to follow, if they were to conform to the laws of the state regarding taxation of real property. We are not alone in the taxation problem.

Following Canada's Centennial celebrations in 1967, Can- adians became more aware of the need for preserving and mark- ing historical sites. The reviews of Indiana, Kansas, Manitoba, Massachusetts, Tennessee, District of Columbia, New Hamp- shire, California and Ohio, describe the restoration and marking of suitable historical areas in a most interesting manner.

Statistics are usually somewhat monotonous and dull in nature. However, the second paragraph in the review of Kentucky contains an item that cannot be described in this way. I quote: "The Grand Lodge lost M.W. Bro. O. R. Ware (1913-14). At the time of his death he was the Senior Past Grand Master in the United States. Sixty years a Past Grand Master is an ex- tremely rare honour. He was 92 when he died."

The review of New Zealand contains two items which should interest most Masons in this Jurisdiction: 1. A short history of the Grand Lodge of Finland. 2. Ways of extending the useful life of the Volume of the Sacred Law in the Lodge.

The Grand Lodge of Ireland celebrated its 250th Anni- versary in June, 1975. The review of Ireland discusses this happy occasion at some length but the last paragraph includes, by

contrast, a short reference to the death by other than natural causes of a number of its members. Despite the troubles which prevail, enthusiasm and support of the Order are very much in evidence on all sides.

The review of England should be read by all. It includes a note on the rising costs of maintaining beautiful Freemason's Hall, the increasing number of candidates and of new Lodges, and a short account of events surrounding the Dedication of the first Freemason's Hall, 23 May, 1776. The last item should be a treasure for our history students.

We sometimes hear mild criticism that our Lodges are not participating in the life of the community. The review of Tasmania offers a fairly adequate answer to this criticism. Read also Scotland.

In Canada we have some concern about bilingualism. In Israel they have individual lodges which do their work in one of seven different languages. It is interesting, too, that there is only one Masonic Temple in each city and all Lodges meet in the one Temple.

This foreword has indicated some of the outstanding events and concerns mentioned in the reviews. You are invited to read them all because they are informative and well worth the time spent in doing so.

Respectfully and fraternally submitted.

BRUCE B. FOSTER,

Chairman.

Fraternal Correspondence and Reviews

ALBERTA — 1976

7 1st Annual Communication — June 11-12.

Grand Master, 1975-76 — M.W. Bro. W. A. Milligan Grand Master, 1976-77 — M.W. Bro. A. O. Aspeslet

Lodges, 171. Membership, 16,145. Loss, 276.

The Grand Secretary's Report listed amendments to lodge by-laws which the Grand Master had approved during the year. Of the 54 noted, 39 increased dues. The average dues in the Jurisdiction run from $8.00 (one lodge) to $50.00 (one lodge). The average is $19.67 with 36 at $15.00 and 45 at $20.00.

The Grand Lodge investigated the feasibility of obtaining suitable quarters for a Masonic Temple in the facsimile of Fort Edmonton being built as a historic park. The Committee selected a building which will be a duplicate of the Masonic Hall built first in 1903 and situated on 102 Street half a block South of Jasper Avenue. Since the original Fort Edmonton has been completely built over, the new construction is on new ground. Lodges met in the original 1903 temple until 1931. The reconstruction of the first temple did not lend itself for Masonic purposes. The project, if proceeded with, will necessitate the raising of not less than $12,500 and probably more.

The Grand Master, in his address, gave his opinion that lodges could do more than they are doing in the area of benevolence and suggested that the W.M. of each lodge should appoint a Com- mittee to study the matter as he said, "Our society still has a need for our aid in the way of benevolence but it is our responsi- bility to locate this need and the form it should take."

The Grand Master also made an interesting observation re- garding changes he has noticed in the place of Freemasomy in the community:

"I have observed, as I travel around the province, that our membership is becoming much more outward looking than it has over the years. I find that lodges, through their membership, are becoming better known in their respective communities and appear to feel more freer to discuss what we stand for with non- masons. I believe this to be a healthy attitude which should be encouraged as society today requires answers before becoming

involved in any function or organization. This change is having a good effect in that we are initiating many more younger men into the Craft. This reduction in age is a very necessary thing if we are to remain an organization with a future. Such things as the Banff Spring Workshop, guidance and instruction from District Deputies, interlodge visitations and other such activities has had an excellent effect within our lodges and is bringing us out into the open for all to see."

ARIZONA — 1976

94th Annual Communication — May 17-18.

Grand Master, 1975-76 — M.W. Bro. M. E. Anderson Grand Master, 1976-77 — M.W. Bro. T. P. Nelson

Lodges, 70 Membership, 15,705. Gain, 156.

Only two Lodges were not represented at the Annual Com- munication.

Bagdad Lodge No. 54 offered a resolution that Grand Lodge annually designate one member lodge as a "recipient lodge" and as such "through the encouragement and good offices of the Grand Lodge be the recipient of voluntary gifts of time, talent and financial resources from the constituent lodges" and indiv- iduals, the aim of the project being to improve the lodge halls in the Jurisdiction. The proposers outlined carefully the method of implementation. The resolution was received and referred to the General Policy and Jurisprudence Committees.

The Grand Lodge has an active Building Survey Com- mittee which during the year passed on proposals by three lodges to acquire, add to or alter lodge premises. In one case a lodge had acquired an unused church building.

The Masonic Home Study Committee agreed that the erection and maintenance of a Masonic Home is not warranted at this time.

ARKANSAS — 1976

135th Annual Communication — November 16-17.

Grand Master, 1975-76 — M.W. Bro. D. C. Carmack Grand Master, 1976-77 — M.W. Bro. Otis Dyer

Lodges, 366. Membership, 49,130. Loss, 119.

The Grand Secretary covered many topics of interest in his Report. One comment, applicable in all jurisdictions, dealt with the

FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 5

need for adequate fire and extended coverage insurance "and in proper form today (no fine print so to speak that you do not understand)." Arkansas loses "at least one Lodge per year, usually more." He also stressed the need to preserve valuable records in a safe place. A second subject which applied specifically to the Grand Lodge of Arkansas was headed: "Open Air Meetings. Conferral of the Master's Degree under the whole canopy of heaven." Since the descriptions give details not often provided, in Proceedings, they are given here in full.

"In Arkansas we presently have two open air meetings: The Gravel Pit Degree at Harrisburg, and the Rock Quarry Degree at Conway.

"The Gravel Pit Degree is in its 27th year and is held the last Saturday in July and the Rock Quarry Degree is relative new being in their 4th year and is held around the middle of Sept- ember.

"As far as the setting is concerned, they are distinctly different. The Gravel Pit has seating capacity of around 750 (bleacher type) on all four sides of the rectangle comparable to a Lodge Hall with standard Altar and Stations from the Lodge Hall. Night lights and/or flood lights provide the lighting. The Gravel Pit Degree is located in the City of Harrisburg behind the DX Service Station east on Highway 14.

"The Rock Quarry gets it name from the quarry on the east bank of the Arkansas River near the New Toad Suck Ferry bridge southwest of Conway on Highway 60. It is carved out of the mountain and huge boulders are used for the Stations. The seating arrangement at present is folding chairs until some other type of seating can be provided. The uniqueness of this location is that lighted torches are placed along the edge of the cliff so that no one will slip and fall into the River. Torches are also placed in the crevasses of the rocks in the mountain to give the place an atmosphere of the older day of degrees being conferred on high hills and in low vales so that they could be properly tyled. Of course 'both' are properly tiled according to Law as stated in the Special Dispensation which must be requested in writing to the Grand Master each year and with his approval. This Dispensation is read before the degree is conferred. You will note also that the Charter of the Lodge requesting the Special Dispensation is always displayed in front of the Master's Station."

Harbour Lodge U.D. at Pender Harbour received a warrant and two new lodges were instituted: Moxint Begbie Lodge U.D. of 100 Mile House and Blue Mountain Lodge U.D. at Port Coquitlam.

The Jurisdiction is divided into 26 Districts with a D.D.G.M. in each. Consequently, each D.D.G.M. is responsible for about six or seven lodges. Victoria District No. 21 has nine, one of which is Victoria Lodge of Education and Research. Not only did the D.D.G.M. make his official visit but he installed the W.M. and Officers in each lodge. The D.D.G.M. of Comox-Alberni District No. 22, in addition to his official visits, "surprise visited" every lodge in the District, some of them several times. He found the work well done. Another D.D.G.M. of Okanagan- Revelstoke District No. 9 requested each lodge Secretary to schedule no degree work on the night of the official visit. Instead, the D.D.G.M. returned to each lodge at least twice. It looks as though the District Deputy Grand Masters take their responsibilities seriously.

The Committee on the Grand Lodge Bursary Fund told of a successful year. TTie Capital Fund now stands at $209,134.00.

The amount available in August, 1975, was $21,500.00. This was apportioned into 65 Bursaries and 8 Educational Grants. The average award was $300.00. As in former years, every effort was made to ensure that awards were made to those applicants who had the greatest need for them and each successful candidate was required to have the necessary academic qualifications to enter the post-secondary course he proposed to follow.

Since its inception in 1961, the Bursary Fund has made awards to applicants, the total sum awarded being $209,196.00.

Bursaries are awarded to students wishing to attend one of the Universities in British Columbia, the B.C. Institute of Tech- nology, or any one of the Regional Colleges (Malaspina College. Douglas College, Vancouver Community College, etc.).

Educational Grants are awarded to students who do not wish to attend a college or university to take an academic course, but who wish to enrol in a vocational institution such as a School of Nursing, a Vocational School or Institute, or at a Regional College to take a vocational course in such areas as Journalism, Graphic Arts, Accounting, etc.

FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 7

This is our first Review for California since 1974. The 1973 report showed that the age of the Brethren was causing concern. Now, the Grand Master is encouraged as large numbers of young men are joining the Fraternity and are taking part in its activities. Attendance at meetings also has improved "in many instances where the ladies have been included in dinners prior to meetings and provided entertainment while the members are at labour."

The Grand Lodge laid more than 20 cornerstones. One in particular appealed to the Grand Master as a new high in pro- moting universal brotherhood. It was the laying of the corner- stone of the Christian Brothers High School in Sacramento. This school, which stresses training youth from relatively poor homes for careers in trade following graduation, is supported by the public at large and is highly regarded. The Grand Master believed that the ceremony did much for the image of Masonry.

For the first time in five years a new Lodge, Fountain Valley Bicentennial Lodge U.D. was instituted. The membership is young and enthusiastic.

A second Lodge, Daylight Bicentennial Lodge U.D. also was instituted. This Lodge in Sacramento will fill a great need in that area, enabling night workers and others to attend in the daytime.

One unusual event was the dedication of the rebuilding of Quitman Lodge No. 88 in the Malakoff Diggings State Historic Park on August 23. 1976. A bronze plaque is to be placed on the building so that all who visit this State Park will know that Masonry had an important part of "winning the West." On this project the Grand Master was faced with an emergent decision. Masons had the choice early in the year to participate in rebuild- ing the interior part of the second floor of the building which is to house Quitman Lodge or to lose forever the opportunity to have the Lodge included in the structure as it was during its hey day. Five thousand dollars were needed for materials. Relying on a provision in the California Code, the Grand Master authorized the amount. Grand Lodge supported his action.

The Grand Master recommended that the Grand Lodge sponsor a pilot travel tour for Masons, their families and friends. The Committee on Policy and General Purposes recommended against adoption as in their opinion the Grand Lodge should not be connected with any commercial activity. Grand Lodge sup- ported the Committee.

The Grand Master, M.W. Bro. Lin was born in and spent his childhood days in Taiwan during the Japanese occupation and so learned Japanese. When eleven he went to the Diocesan School in Hong Kong, where he learned English and Cantonese. On his return to Taiwan he had to learn Mandarin and the local Taiwanese dialect. He should have little trouble in communicating with any Masons he may meet.

M.W. Bro. Lin reported that the Grand Master's Ball "was a huge success from the point of view of excellent attendance."

Cost of the dinner tickets are kept to a minimum so that all Masons and their families could attend. "It was the one op- portunity during the year when all Masons on the Island got together for grand fellowship, spread good will and fraternal love amongst the brethren." Approximately 375 Masons, their ladies and friends attended.

Thanks to a donation of panelling and lighting fixtures given by the Company of the Grand Master, the offices of the Grand Lodge in Taipei were renovated and made much more attractive.

The Grand Master's Bali was a great success. Furthermore "the affair turned out very attractive for the coffers (nearly NT $100,000) of the Grand Lodge and to its charity fund."

Under the heading "Return of Wayward Masons" an expres- sion not often encountered but expressive, the Grand Master told of his activity in trying to solve this problem.

"An effort was made this year to get Masons who had for some reason or another dropped their membership in Masonry back into the fraternity. I established an unwritten rule that by paying the one year's current dues and two year's back dues any member could be reinstated regardless of how many years he was in arrears and with no questions asked as to why he was delinquent. This formula seemed to work quite satisfactorily and we gained back into our fraternity many members who had been absent from us for many years. It is hoped that this effort will be continued as there are many brothers who are interested in returning to the fraternity."

In addition to many fraternal visitations both in and outside his Jurisdiction, the Grand Master accomplished his goal of visiting in all 133 of the constituent lodges. Many were memorable and special occasions such as the 150th anniversaries of three lodges and one 100th. The Grand Master also accompanied Sequin Lodge No. 140 on their fraternal visit to Prince of Wales Lodge No. 63, Sherbrooke, Quebec.

The Committee on Brotherhood planned and took part in many programmes throughout the State. This group, as indi- viduals rather than a committee works with the state heads of the fraternal groups: Knights of Columbus, B'nai B'rith, and Prince Hall Masons. They held several meetings to discuss common problems. One of the highlights of the year was the 10th Anni- versary Dance held at the Knights of Columbus Hall, Southington. The state heads of all four groups attended.

The Custodians of the Work developed a revised ritual for the conduct of the Table Lodge. This revision was an attempt to further enrich the ceremony of the Table Lodge by introducing more of the customs and practices of the Masonic Feasts of early times. They hoped thereby to augment and improve the traditional friendly and joyous atmosphere of the occasion. Latitude in the conduct of the ceremony was provided, to give adaptability to the requirements and wishes of individual Lodges acting as sponsors.

the 170 years of the Grand Lodge of Delaware, formed on June 6, 1806. Following the recognition of American independence in 1783, the colonies, now states, which had not yet formed a Grand Lodge independent of the Grand Lodge of England soon did so. On September 25, 1786, 12 lodges of the Provincial Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania, including all the five lodges in Delaware, con- vened and closed forever the Provincial Grand Lodge of Pennsyl- vania. The following day, the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania was instituted. The five lodges in Delaware surrendered their warrants and received new ones from the newly constituted Grand Lodge. This early history more than justified the Special Communication held in Philadelphia.

The Grand Lodge laid the cornerstone of the Adas Israel Synagogue. The Original Adas Israel Synagogue was dedicated in 1876 but was moved to a new site where the cornerstone was laid. The synagogue is listed in the Register of Historic places as an officially designated landmark of the District of Columbia and maintained by the Jewish Historical Society of the District.

FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 11

The Board of General Purposes was "seriously exercised" by the unavoidable costs of maintaining Freemason's Hall. During the year new boilers were installed at a cost of £84,579 to replace the old ones which had been in use since the building was com- pleted in 1933. Freemason's Hall was designed '"on a lavish scale at a time when rates, heating and lighting were comparatively minor factors." The Board is also considering the possibility of letting the Grand Temple for wider purposes such as concerts for which its organ and other facilities are well suited. The Board added: "this is a novel step, and one which might well have caused offence in earlier generations which were not faced with inflation at its present rate."

The President of the Board of General Purposes at the March Quarterly Communication in reporting on the usual Annual Returns of Lodges on the Grand Lodge Register and of Grand Lodge Certificates issued in 1975 added: "It is gratifying to see that the number of Grand Lodge Certificates issued shows a mark- ed recovery when compared with the figures for recent years, and this in spite of the gloomy fears sometimes expressed that Masonry is in decline."

The totals given for Certificates issued at Freemasons' Hall and those issued by District Grand Masters since 1966 have been something under 19,186 (in 1966). Of recent years, however, the figure has been under 18,000 (17,313) in 1974. In 1975, however, it reached 18,309. In the period 1966-1975 the Lodges on the Grand Register increased from 7,286 to 7,804.

The M.W. Grand Master commented on the gratifying figures at the Annual Investiture:

"The President also mentioned in March that for the first time in some years 1975 had shown an increase in the number of Grand Lodge Certificates issued: at a time when the membership figures of almost all Grand Lodges are going down this is most heartening news. I have little doubt that our policy of more and smaller Lodges has helped to bring this about: seventy new Lodges in 1973, sixty-eight in 1974 and sixty-three in 1975 have given op- portunities to more young Masons to gain experience and to en- courage the entry into the Craft of their contemporaries."'

At the same gathering he added his views regarding certain restrictions on the office Pro Grand Master: "It has seemed illogical to me ever since I became Grand Master, and the office of Pro Grand Master was revived after twenty-five years' disuse, that with it alone of all Grand Ranks there should be a bar of a non-Masonic nature to the Grand Master's freedom of choice, namely that the Pro Grand Master is required to be a Peer of the Realm: I need hardly say that removal of this clause by Grand Lodge would not entail the removal of the Pro Grand Master by me and his replacement by a commoner, but I think it is an

12 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA

irritating and outmoded limitation which might present serious difficulties in the future."

The Board of Benevolence granted £1,000 each to the Grand Lodge of Guatemala and the Grand Orient of Italy "to meet the Masonic needs" occasioned by the major earthquakes in the two countries. The Board acted immediately, owing to the urgency of the two crises, and sought approval of its action from the Grand Lodge which, of course, it received.

The Grand Lodge celebrated the bicentennial of the Dedica- tion of the First Freemasons' Hall, 23 May, 1776, which stood on the site of the present Freemasons' Hall. At the June Quarterly Communication, W. Bro. T. O. Haunch, P.A.G. Supt. Wks.. gave a "well-informed and witty address" describing the events of 200 years before. Unfortunately it is too long to be reprinted here in full. A few lines, however, must be included to record this occasion, most significant in the history of world Free- masonry.

"On the morning of Thursday the twenty-third of May. 1776. this part of London must have presented a very animated sight indeed as carriages bearing brethren and their ladies converged upon Great Queen Street. To the rear of the house at No. 61, which itself was already let in part as Freemasons' Tavern, stood the newly completed Hall built 'for the use of the Society' and to be dedicated that day by the Grand Master, Lord Petre, he having laid the Foundation Stone a year previously. Robert Edward. 9th Lord Petre, had become Grand Master in 1772 and at once he actively interested himself in the project for building a Hall. It is. I think, noteworthy to record that the realisation of this ambition, an event whose Bicentenary we are celebrating this year, and one which was such a milestone in the history of Grand Lodge, should have owed so much to the interest, and the personal participation and financial support of Lord Petre. one of the few brethren of the Roman Catholic faith to have presided over the Craft as Grand Master. . .

"The Ceremony consisted of three parts, the Dedication proper conducted in the presence of brethren only prefaced and followed hv public ceremonials at which the ladies and other non-masons were present . . . The first part of the open or public proceedings started with the anthem composed for the laying of the foundation stone the year before, and set to the tune of Rule Britannia, and after this the Grand Secretary, James Hesehine. delivered an exordium on Masonry which is reported to have been 'not less instructive than elegant' . . . More music followed during which the ladies and the non-masons amongst the musicians withdrew from the Hall and adjourned to Freemasons' Tavern, there to partake of tea and coffee. The tenant Bro. Luke Reilly. had been allowed sixpence a head on this account for all attending the Dedication.

FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 13

"Meanwhile back in the Hall Grand Lodge having gone into closed session the Grand Master ordered the Hall to be tyled and the lodge (i.e. the lodge board) to be uncovered. All was then ready for the essential business of the day to begin. So followed the Ceremony proper, the ritual circumambulations accompanied by music on the organ, punctuated at the appropriate intervals by the giving of grand honours, the while the Grand Master in solemn form performed the triple dedications of the Hall to Masonry, Virtue and Universal Charity and Benevolence — a form of ceremony followed again in its essentials for the Dedi- cation of this present Hall over a hundred and fifty years later.

■'The Dedication completed, the lodge board was again covered and the ladies were readmitted (as the record has it) amidst the acclamations of the brethren'."

Only four lodges were not represented at the Annual Com- munication. Two new lodges U.D. applied for charters. Among 9 cornerstones laid two were for banks and two for court houses.

In his Executive Orders, the Grand Master laid down regu- lations for particular Lodges to foUow if they are to conform strictly to the laws of Florida regarding the Ad Valorem Taxation of real property.

1. That a portion of every Stated Lodge meeting be set aside for a lecture, talk or discussion of some Masonic or local community charity or charitable endeavour and that members present be urged to contribute to and support such charity or charitable endeavour and record be made in minutes thereof.

2. That the Lodge bulletin or trestle board, if one is pub- lished, should contain an announcement of the program of the Lodge relating to the above.

3. That every Lodge make its facilities available at cost or below cost or at no cost to groups or organizations who support, sponsor or perform charitable services and who do not own facilities needed for place of meeting. This action is specifically recognized by Florida law as a factor to be considered in granting or denying tax exemption.

5. That every Lodge contribute to some one or more com- munity charities or charitable endeavours as may be determined by the Lodge.

During January, 1976, the Grand Master and Grand Secretary held a "get acquainted meeting" in each of the twelve Masonic Districts for the purpose of getting acquainted with the Masters, Secretaries and other Lodge Officers and Brethren. The meetings were well attended and profitable.

Georgia acted as host for the Southeastern Conference. The threat of Hurricane Dottie forced those in attendance to rush the programme and end it a day early.

The Grand Lodge met in 12 Emergent Communications, in practically all cases to lay cornerstones for new lodge buildings.

The strict rules in Georgia regarding the admission of candi- dates associated with any aspect of the liquor, beer or wine trade produced a ruling which shows how far the prohibition may be carried. The Grand Master reported:

"I was requested by the Secretary of Clinton Lodge No. 54 to rule on whether an employee who worked as an overseer of freight cars and trucks, and stored cases which contained beer in a distributing company warehouse, was disqualified because of the nature of his employment to petition for the Degrees of Masonry. I investigated this very closely and since the party involved could not be determined to be furnishing, manufacturing, selling or serving spiritous, malt or intoxicating liquors for profit, I ruled that if he otherwise was judged favourably on his moral qualifications, that he should be permitted this privilege."

The Masonic Home ran into many difficulties during the year. The laundry was discontinued as the machinery had worn out. The

FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 15

farm, which provides fruit, vegetables and meat for the Home and also provides its own feed for livestock, being small cannot be run at a profit. It does, however, give an opportunity for many of the children in the home to become involved in the operations. It is hoped that certain changes in management will improve matters. There were 36 boys and 26 girls in the home during the year.

The Grand Lodge owns 932 acres of land, administered by the Home board, located in various counties and used for various purposes such as the Home farm, camp sites, a pear orchard and a timber growing area.

The Grand Secretary commented on a problem which, even if not often discussed, is real.

"Statistics may be of very little interest to many Masons, and we often tend to disregard them. However, they convey some very revealing conditions which need our immediate attention.

"As an example, 285 candidates were Initiated during the past year and only 184 were Raised. Some will argue that this is merely the back-log which normally accumulates prior to the ending of the fiscal year. Actually, the file on 'Failures to Advance' continues to grow, and this condition has existed for many years. We have an annual average of approximately 100 candidates who are lost for Failure to Advance. Some of these received their first degree several years ago, and in some instances have not even been dropped from the record.

"The application of arithmetic demonstrates that the average operating proficiency of our Lodges is only 65 per cent. If all Lodges were proficient in the Investigation of petitioners, in the conferring of degrees, and in the coaching of candidates, we should be Raising the same number as we Initiate. Instead we have 35 per cent of our candidates who are lost for Failure to Advance.

"The only possible conclusion is that Lodges are failing to direct adequate attention to the duties for which they are chartered."

The first distinguished visitor to be presented by the Grand Master was M.W. Bro. Eric W. Nancekivell.

The Grand Master, early in his address, said that before the end of his second term he hoped to see the fruition of his fondest dream: "a Masonic Blood Bank for the entire State of Illinois."

Although ten lodges consolidated to form five, the Grand Master had an honour which has not come to an Illinois Grand Master for many years. He received two petitions for dispens- ations to form new lodges. In addition, a group of Brethren requested a dispensation to form a Lodge of Research. The request was granted and lUinois Lodge of Research, Bloomington, was instituted. The Grand Lodge granted Charters to the new Lodges.

The Grand Lodge met in many Occasional Communications: dedicated four Masonic Buildings, laid five cornerstones for new Lodge Temples, dedicated a Liberty Tree and a Park Fountain, in Decatur, as well as several flagpoles. The Grand Lodge en- courages the flying of flags at Masonic buildings.

The motion was carried.

The Grand Master reported that during 1975 three new lodges had been consecrated. He also stressed the importance of

The Grand Lodge of Indiana was constituted on January 12, 1818 in an upstairs room of an inn called Schofield House, in Madison. In 1972 Indianapolis Valley of the Scottish Rite bought the building and the Grand Lodge formed a nonprofit organization to restore and keep up the property to preserve the Masonic heritage in Indiana. As funds were somewhat slow in coming in, the 1975 Annual Communication ordered a one year "crash" programme to raise funds equivalent to $2.00 per member for restoration and eventual endowment of the building. The 1976 Annual Communication voted to complete the project.

A proposal which would have permitted voting at the altar was rejected.

The total of per capita tax and assessments, payable with Grand Lodge dues in 1977, is $11.07, divided as follows: Grand Lodge General Fund, $1.98; Trustees, 9 cents; Indiana Masonic Home, assessment upon each dues-paying member, $9.00. The Home has a population of about 425. Annual cost per ambulatory resident is just under $6,000.00 and per hospital patient almost $11,000.00.

M.W. Bro. J. N. Allan, P.G.M., represented our Grand Lodge at the Annual Communication. He heard the Grand Master report that as he travelled about the Jurisdiction he was impressed by the many younger officers and members in the programmes of individual lodges. "The condition of the Craft in Indiana is good and getting better," he declared.

During the year the Grand Lodge Historical Commission erected two markers:

At Lafayette, on or near the spot where members of Sierra Nevada Lodge, U.D., a travelling Lodge set to work in March 1849, embarked on a six-month's journey by boat and overland to join the California gold rush.

IRELAND — 1974, 1975

Annual Reports of the Grand Secretary

Grand Master — M.W. Bro. Rt. Hon. The Earl of Donoughmore

We last reported on the Grand Lodge of Ireland in 1975 and even then the information dealt with the year 1973. Now we can catch up a little but the records, which arrived on August 9, 1976, are still somewhat belated. Without a doubt, the most significant event on which to report was the celebration of the foundation of the Grand Lodge of Ireland in June 1975. The culmination came on St. John the Baptist's Day, June 24, in an Especial Communication of Grand Lodge held in the Concert Hall of the Royal Dublin Society, Ballsbridge.

The various celebrations attracted Brethren from all parts of the world while the attendance of those from lodges in Ireland was most impressive. Each function drew large audiences.

The programme followed this order:

Sunday, 22 June: Service of Thanksgiving in the Cathedral and Collegiate Church of St. Patrick, Dublin.

Monday. 23 June: Morning — Special Communication of the Grand Lodge of Instruction in Freemasons' Hall. Moles- worth Street, Dublin.

Afternoon — Special Communication of Lodge of Re- search No. 200 in Freemasons' Hall.

Evening — Reception at the Royal Dublin Society's premises, Ballsbridge, Dublin.

Tuesday, 24 June: Especial Communication of the Grand Lodge of Ireland in the Royal Dublin Society's Concert Hall, Ballsbridge, at 3 o'clock.

FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 19

Evening — Dinner for visiting delegations in Free- masons' Hall, Molesworth Street, Dublin.

The Grand Master singled out M.W. Bro. George E. Turner, our representative, for special mention. The Official Record of Proceedings gave this warm account:

"The Earl of Donoughmore, in welcoming M.W. Bro. George Turner, the Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Canada in the Province of Ontario, mentioned the fact that when the late Ray- mond Brooke was Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Ireland he had invited him, the then Provincial Grand Master of the South Eastern Province, to go to Canada to represent the Grand Lodge of Ireland at the hundredth anniversary of the foundation of the Canadian Grand Lodge. He had been very glad to go and felt highly honoured at being invited. T was a comparatively young Provincial Grand Master at that time,' added the Grand Master, 'but I was thrilled at the opportunity to meet some of my Canadian Brethren. Though it is now some considerable time since that visit I can still remember — indeed, I shall never forget — the wonderful hospitality extended to me, the warmth of the friend- ship of our Canadian Brethren and generally the hearty welcome which I received. I am very happy indeed that this afternoon M.W. Bro. Dr. Turner has been able to make the journey to be with us in Grand Lodge on this happy occasion.' "

The Official Record of Proceedings includes a brief 15-page, but comprehensive, history of the Grand Lodge by V.W. Bro. Richard E. Parkinson, B.Sc. Unfortunately it cannot be reprinted here.

The account of the 250th Anniversary celebrations has kept us from the less happy aspects of Irish Freemasonry, especially in Northern Ireland. Yet the picture is not completely bleak. The Provincial Grand Master of Antrim, which includes Belfast, while lamenting "the depressing shadow that has now hung over Northern Ireland for so many years" said "We are not lacking in hopefulness." Outside Belfast "country Lodges show them- selves as healthy and enthusiastic as ever." They are finding, however, that high maintenance costs of their buildings are causing some concern. The Lisburn Brethren had built a fine new Hall, providing excellent facilities, to replace a less satisfactory meeting centre.

The Provincial Grand Master included one paragraph which deserves notice: "I might add here that the Province of Antrim provided perhaps an unusual commemoration of the anniversary in the special service of thanksgiving for 250 years of Free- masonry under the guidance and governance of the Grand Lodge of Ireland, organized by Sholom Lodge 636 and King David Lodge 820 and held in the Belfast Synagogue."

20 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA

Despite the notes of hope one cannot but be moved by half a dozen lines in the report of the Provincial Grand Master of Armagh.

"Freemasonry in the Province suffered a severe loss through- out the year by the death of a number of its worthy members — unfortunately not all by natural causes. I think especially of the un- timely passing of three Brethren of Lodge 655 Newtownhamilton and deeply sympathise with the bereaved and the Lodge members in their tragic loss. To the families of other Brethren who at different times met the same cruel fate I extend my deepest sympathy."

IRELAND — 1976

Annual Report of the Grand Secretary. Grand Master — M.W. Bro. Rt. Hon. The Earl of Donoughmore

This Report arrived just as we were going to press. It is gratifying to be able to catch up our arrears in the record of the Jurisdiction which, more than any other, exercises the minds of Masons throughout the world. We in Ontario are particularly concerned as many thousands of Irish men and women migrated to the colony or province, as the case might be, during the past 150 years.

The Grand Lodge held the March and December Quarterly Communications in Dublin. In June, Grand Lodge travelled to Londonderry and the Grand Master presided. The Provincial De- puty Grand Master of Londonderry and Donegal thanked the Grand Master for arranging for the meeting to be held there so as to make travel for the Brethren so much more easy.

Grand Lodge met in the Masonic Hall, Newtownards, Belfast in October. The Grand Master who presided, thanked Lodge No. 193, MiUisle, County Down, for their splendid donation of £2,000 for Charity, which sum was raised to mark the 150th Anniversary of the Lodge. The Grand Master also received a cheque for £2,050 for the Masonic Boys' School, donated by Old Portora Lodge No. 859.

The Provincial Grand Master of Antrim reported that sub- scriptions to various charities showed for 1976 an increase of £4,390 over the previous year.

Despite the troubles which prevail enthusiasm and support for the Order are very much in evidence on all sides.

Unfortunately, the correspondent is not named. The article gives extracts from the Proceedings of our Grand Lodge for 1873. 1877 and 1882 which tell of the constitution of the Royal Solomon Lodge No. 293 in Jerusalem and its difficulties.

Today Tel-Aviv-Jaffa has 24 Lodges of which 14 work in Hebrew, 3 in English, 3 in German, 1 in Roumanian. 1 in French, 1 in Arabic, and 1 in Spanish.

Jerusalem has 8 lx>dges of which 5 work in Hebrew, 1 in Arabic, 1 in English and 1 in German.

Haifa has 8 Lodges of which 4 work in Hebrew, 1 in Arabic and Hebrew, 1 in German, 1 in French, and 1 in English.

Cities with two Lodges are Acre with 1 Arabic and 1 Hebrew; Petah-Tikva both in Hebrew; Ramat-Gan both in Hebrew.

Cities with one Lodge are Ashkelon, Afula, Beer-Sheba, Eilat, Hadera, Nathania, Rishon-le-Zion, Tiberias, and Zefat all in Hebrew, Herzlia in English, Nahariya in German, Rama in Arabic and Rehoboth in Hebrew.

The total number of active Lodges in Israel is 59 with a total membership of about 3000, divided among Tel-Aviv-Jaffa, Jerusa- lem, Haifa and elsewhere in the country. Their Meetings are scheduled so that some meet twice a month, some meet once a month, some meet on no fixed day, and 1 meets occasionally. No meetings are held on Friday or Saturday because it is expressly forbidden to have any meeting other than one for a religious

purpose by both Hebrew and Moslem faiths. Another interesting facet is that there is only one Masonic Temple in each city and all Lodges meet in the one Temple.

Lodges, 20. Membership, 4,362. Loss, 356.

The Grand Master expressed concern over the third year of a loss in membership, largely arising from suspensions N.P.D. He attributed the situation to lack of communication between lodges and members. He also was concerned by the large number of American military personnel forming the active membership in some of the lodges. The transfer of active members in connection with their military duties places a burden on the lodges involved. He added:

"Efforts must be made to develop, in relatively compressed periods of time, the skills and capabilities of remaining active members to adequately compensate for the members lost due to rotational assignment policies of the American Military. Effective and special Lodge programs are necessary in these cases to provide: Masonic education, training in Ritual proficiency, development of management and leadership capabilities among the officers."

He also pointed out that the "influence of Masonry on the community and on the social life of Japanese is largely dependent upon the activity of our members, individually and as a group. Not only must we develop ourselves to exemplify the best traditions of our Craft but, in addition, to consider the effect of our actions in the light of Japanese culture."

An intensive effort has been started to revise the Japanese version of the Ritual of the entire Three Degrees. The First Degree is nearing completion and immediately thereafter, work will start in revising the Second and Third Degrees.

In our Review for 1975 we reported that the Grand Lodge had initiated a programme to erect bronze markers on the graves

FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 23

of Past Grand Masters. During the year 17 were erected. The dedication of grave markers and other occasions, required the Grand Lodge to meet in 23 Special Communications. The number would have been higher had not more than one Past Grand Master been buried in the same cemetery. Six Communications met to lay cornerstones, including those for a church and a library. One occasion of special interest was the dedicating of a monu- ment and plaque in River Front Park. Leavenworth, honouring Capt. Meriwether Lewis, Capt. William Clark and M.W. Bro. Richard R. Rees of the historic Lewis and Clark expedition. Lewis and Clark were members of St. Louis Lodge No. Ill and Rees, first Grand Master of Kansas, a member of Independence Lodge No. 76.

The Kansas Masonic Foundation, Inc., completed ten years of steady progress. Masons have always been known for their concern for their members and their families. The Foundation was established to aid any who are in need regardless of colour, race, sex or religious belief. The Secretary-Treasurer reported in part:

"It is true that the greatest if not all support which has come to the Foundation in it's ten year growth has come from members of the Masonic Fraternity, and perhaps members of Masonic families have benefited most from our operations. How- ever th"it may be, the reason for it is that the Foundation is not so well known among those outside the Masonic family. We consider every application for help or assistance on its need and its merits. . .

"Our Foundation is making solid progress, ever keeping in mind that the fundamental purpose is to be of aid to those who need it most whether it be aid in securing an education, medical assistance in the field of oncology (cancer) or some form of encouragement in meeting the problems of life.

"Greatest emphasis during the past year has been the support of the Mid-America Cancer Center located at the Kansas Uni- versity Medical Center in Kansas City. Kansas. Patients in in- creasing numbers there are being benefited through the latest proven methods of treating the dread disease."

24 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA

During recent years the Grand Lodge programme has been devoted to education, not sent the Masons of Kentucky but taken to them by the Grand Lodge Officers at twenty educational meet- ings in different parts of the State. Attendance has improved each year.

The Grand Lodge lost M.W. Bro. O. R. Ware (1913-14). At the time of his death he vi'as the Senior Past Grand Master in the United States. Sixty years a Past Grand Master is an ex- tremely rare honour. A lawyer by profession, M.W. Bro. Ware served in the U.S. House of Representatives, 1927-29. He was 92 when he died.

The Grand Master appointed a committee to update and revise the Constitution. "The Constitution has been amended with so many recommendations" that if readers are not careful they may come to the opinion that it contradicts itself.

In 1929, a P.G.M., M.W. Bro. J. H. Cowles, created the Cowles Benevolent Fund by giving the Grand Lodge $10,000.00. The account now stands at $211,487.00.

Once again the Grand Secretary has produced a clear and well printed volume of 612 pages. The net loss of 234 is negligible in a membership of 47,392. The Proceedings include a table which shows the Membership and Work of Lodges for Past Fifty Years. The peak of total membership was 51,512 in 1964. The present figure is comparable with that of 1954.

In speaking on the State of the Order, the Grand Master said :

"In comparing conditions of Freemasonry in Louisiana with other Grand Jurisdictions, I am very happy to report they are very good. In comparing conditions within our own Jurisdiction, I am delighted to report, that they are the best I have seen in many, many years. This is a fine tribute to all Masons. We have had great cooperation from all Masons and related bodies of Masonry. Our State is moving forward. One reason 1 guess, is that those who are charged with leadership of our Lodges, District Lodges and with help of our District Deputy Grand Masters, in thinking in a positive manner, can best summed up as a big factor in helping bring about a good understanding in our State.

"It is better for each of us to serve the fraternity than try to have the fraternity try and serve us."

The Executive Committee of the Grand Lodge Hall Board again reported a nominal profit. Two years before they were gravely concerned over finances. Mounting expenses in labour, materials and energy were partially controlled through economic measures aimed at getting the most out of every dollar spent.

Last year this Reviewer devoted almost all his remarks, regarding the Grand Lodge of Maine, to the thirty years which M.W. Bro. Ralph J. Pollard (P.G.M.) had spent in writing the Reviews for that Jurisdiction. The appreciation was timely as M.W. Bro. Pollard died on June 30, 1975. M.W. Bro. Aubrey L. Burbank (P.G.M.) has taken over the responsibility. He opened with a fine tribute to his predecessor and showed that the task is in good hands.

The Grand Lodge operated two tours. One to Italy involved a week in Rome followed by a week travelling through Italy and southern Switzerland. The second was an eight-day tour to Hawaii. The quota was filled in two weeks, made up entirely by tourists from Maine.

Following custom, the Grand Lodge held two Schools of Instruction. Only one officer was missing from the Bangor session and all were present at Auburn. Both meetings were successful.

The Grand Lodge dedicated five Masonic Temples. Three were new constructions, one was remodelled from a church and the fifth had been the home of the I.O.O.F. The Grand Master concluded that these added five really fine temples to the list of those being built or remodelled. He did add. however, that there still are many more lodges in need of new halls. Some of the present buildings are unsafe, hard to heat, and inconvenient for the older members to ascend. He did believe however, that the new halls encouraged others to become interested in building for themselves.

As part of its centennial celebration the Grand Lodge pre- pared two plaques. One erected at the corner of Donald Street and EUice Avenue, Winnipeg, stated: "On this site in 1895 was built the first Masonic Temple, in use until 1969." From 1875 to 1894 the Masonic brethren held their meetings at or near the corner of Portage Avenue and Main Street at one time or another in eleven different buildings. A fire in 1894 destroyed the then meeting place with all lodge records. Five lodges, with a total membership of only 608, had the foresight and faith to erect a building which served for three quarters of a century. The second plaque, placed on Seven Oaks house, marked the birthplace of William Inkster, born there in 1836. the first Junior Warden in a lodge in Manitoba and one of the founders of the first lodge in the Province.

In his address, the Grand Master stated that "Appropriate papers were processed and filed in Ottawa to form our foundation to receive monies from the Brethren of Manitoba for their chosen charitable projects. When this foundation begins to operate fully we will receive receipts for charitable donations which will allow us Income Tax deductions."

The Grand Lodge met in a Special Communication to lay the cornerstone of the Paul B. Naylor Masonic Temple in Oak- land. Among the contents of the stone were the wills of Paul B. Naylor and Sarah B. Naylor. One is left to wonder if a bequest from the Naylor family made the building possible. Oakland Lodge No. 192 has a membership of 117.

FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 27

The Grand Master described one "Special Event" which turned out to be extra special.

"On Thursday, April 3, 1975, the Grand Lodge Officers con- ferred the Master Mason Degree in Birmingham Lodge No. 188 during a power failure occasioned by high winds. What at first appeared to be an insurmountable obstacle turned out to be a blessing in disguise. The members had scoured the countryside and obtained a sufficient number of candles and lanterns to illuminate the Temple sufficiently to allow us to confer one of the most impressive degrees on two candidates that I have ever witnessed. It must have impressed others for I note in one of the neighboring Lodge bulletins they are having a 'Candlelight Degree'. "

The Grand Lodge met in Special Communication to partici- pate in "an unusual but meaningful ceremony" to dedicate a monument on the grave of M.W. Bro. Caleb Butler, Groton Cemetery, Groton. M.W. Bro. Butler, who was born in 1776. was a giant in his day. With limited education, he taught himself sufficiently to enter Dartmouth College from which he gradu- ated in ] 800. He served as a preceptor of Groton. now Lawrence. Academy and also studied civil engineering and lav/. He served as Grand Master, 1841-42.

One of the most perplexing problems which confronted the Grand Master was the dispensing of alcoholic beverages in some of the Masonic Temples. On many occasions, particularly ladies nights and other social events, lodges have forsaken their Masonic homes to go to establishments where alcoholic beverages were available. In other cases, rules against the use of alcoholic bever- ages were violated. After laying down strict safeguards, the Grand Master ruled that:

"The temperate use and dispensing of alcoholic beverages during exclusively social functions, fellowship and banquet periods, always in the confines of the social rooms, banquet room.s or dining halls, and always under the control of responsible persons, is not prohibited . . . Whether such use is allowed or prohibited, is for the local Masonic body and the Building or Temple Associ- ation, as the case may be, to determine."

The Jurisdiction is divided into Districts numbered I, 3, 4, 5 and 6. No explanation for the missing No. 2 is given. The D.D. G.M. in all cases, except No. 3, is a P.G.M. All wrote excellent if brief reports. That for District No. 1, gives a typical account of lodge activity and a good picture of the variety of ways in which lodges work. The lodge names are also informative.

"All the Lodges in the District have worked regularly during the year, with peace and harmony prevailing.

"Toltec Lodge No. 1 : — This Lodge is again returning to its old activity and splendor. They had several candidates and per- formed good degree work.

"Anahuac Lodge No. 3: — As usual, their meetings have been most interesting and their degree work of the highest quality. The W. Master and Officers are very proficient and should be congratulated for being the most active Lodge in this District.

"Aztec Lodge No. 22: — Good advancement has been made in the translation of the Ritual and it is expected to be concluded during the current year.

"Mexico Lodge of Research No. 24: — As in the past, this Lodge has been working intensively in the study of Masonic History in Mexico. Very interesting papers and talks have been presented on the subject and in consequence, much has been ac- complished.

"Alexander von Humboldt Lodge No. 26: — The W. Master. Officers and Brethren have worked with diligence, enthusiasm and love for the Fraternity. Their ritualistic work in the German language is worthy of example and it is indeed a pleasure to observe the solemnity prevailing in their meetings."

The Fraternal Relations Committee offered some sound general opinions, before presenting their report proper, which bear repeating.

"We as Freemasons cannot assume for one moment that our fraternity can escape the extremely high rate of tension presently permeating world society, because after all Masonic membership is also represented among active citizens in every strata of society and its affairs. As a matter of fact we can only express a hope and a wish, that by placing the Craft's faith in the willingness and ability of the administrators of the affairs of Freemasonry that we as brethren can sit down together and resolve such differences of opinion as may be thrust upon us by the society in which we live.

"Fraternal Relationships in Foreign Affairs can best be practiced by keeping the above declaration in proper perspective at all times. Freemasonry caters to the affairs of mankind regardless of race, religious creed or national origin, nor is there anything in our Constitution which would exclude anyone, provided he exhibits a firm belief in the Supreme Being.

"There never has been a disqualification, because of race or color, for Masonic membership . . . Moreover Grand Lodge claims no right to direct its constituent lodges as to whom they may or may not admit to membership. This is the sole responsi- bility of each individual lodge and this responsibility must be discharged in the true spirit of Brotherhood."

The Grand Lodge approved a resolution to set up a com- mittee to investigate tiie facilities at the Masonic Home at Alma, Michigan, with a view to setting up a "proper Library or Museum, where Masonic Literature and other Masonic materials can be displayed." The Grand Lodge does not now have such a facility.

The Grand Master stated that efforts to revitalize Masonry in Minnesota are showing favourable results. A careful study of

30 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA

membership statistics shows that begimiing in 1973, the differential between the total gains per Lodge and the total losses per Lodge steadily decreased. Each year since 1972, the average number of raisings per Lodge has increased over the preceding year, while the average number of deaths per Lodge has decreased slightly. If this trend continues at its present rate, a net gain in membership should show some time between 1978 and 1980.

He also commended the Brethren for their participation in Masonic workshops, schools of instruction, leadership training schools, bicentennial activities and table lodges.

The Grand Master gave a lengthy account of a meeting he and several Grand Lodge Officers had with representatives of the Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Minnesota. The meeting requested by The Honorable Milton Henry, Grand Master of the Prince Hall body, aimed to explore the possibility of recognition of that organization, was felt to be worthwhile. All agreed that it represented the "first step in a journey of a thousand miles."

The Grand Secretary, Bro. T. K. Griffis, presented his first report and it was notable as it showed a membership gain of six. A glance back through these Reviews reveals the last gain as 93 in 1963. The list of Emergent Communications also reveals a great deal of activity. The Grand Lodge met to constitute one lodge, dedicate four and lay the cornerstone of one. In two cases the dedication was accompanied by the laying of a cornerstone.

The Grand Lodge does not use any titles such as one finds in other jurisdictions. Thus the Grand Lecturer, Grand Master in 1953, is called Bro. Watt Carter. He reported on a year of marked progress. He attributed the renewed interest to the interest, participation and leadership of young members. He added:

"Another factor contributing to the upsurge in Masonic interest is the building of new temples. The erection of new Lodge buildings and improvements in the older ones have been rather fantastic in recent years. Interest begets progress and pro- gress begets interest."

The Grand Master's Address was a model of direct speech. He admitted that he had feared that the loss in membership would be greater than it was when he learned that less than half of the lodge secretaries had availed themselves of the copies of letters which he had prepared for sending to members who were about to lose their membership for N.P.D. But the Grand Secretary sent out over 700 copies to the Secretaries of the constituent lodges who did use it. He continued "I have been encouraged and buoyed up throughout the year by the number of young men who have sought and gained admission into Freemasonry. Many of these younger Master Masons are serving as officers in their lodges .... Freemasonry in Montana is in good hands and will be preserved for future generations of Montanaans to enjoy."

During the years 1975 and 1976 the Grand Lodges in the United States celebrated the Bicentennial of the United States in various ways. This Reviewer has not included descriptions of the many events as they would have added greatly to the length of these Reviews. The list of Dispensations records one type of celebration.

'"Apr. 25, 1975 — To Missoula Lodge No. 13, together with Harmony Lodge No. 49 and Sentinel Lodge No. 155, to form in procession, officers wearing jewels and aprons, and participate in a public parade on May 3, 1975, in observance of the Bicentennial of the United States of America. This was a Masonic event: the three lodges paraded to a new public park and planted three trees to commemorate the Bicentennial."

One item in the Grand Master's list of appreciations which speaks for itself must be included here.

"Our special thanks and appreciation go to the Knights of Columbus Anaconda Council No. 882 for their offer of the use of their facilities to the Masonic bodies of Anaconda, following the explosion in the Masonic Temple of Acacia Lodge No. 33. In reply to our letter of thanks to them we received a letter reading in part as follows: 'It is gratifying to note your appreciation of our efforts to work in harmony with your organization in their time of duress, which I believe shows the true spirit of Fraternal- ism, because after all, both organizations strive to obtain the same objective, i.e., an undying devotion to God and Country and a deep respect for the rights of our fellow-man.'

The Nevada Research Lodge No. 1 acted as hosts for a tri- state meeting in Las Vegas. Research lodges from Arizona, southern California and Nevada took part. Papers and discussions covered many subjects. Out of the gathering came the idea of developing a research project to discover all the schools in the State named after Masons, of which there are many.

The Policy, Education and Affairs Committee is a hard working body. Although they met only twice during the year they covered an agenda which dealt with 39 items. Among the subjects discussed were: to set a minimum of at least $100 as an initiation fee and a minimum of annual dues at $12 or $15, "When does Grand Lodge become involved with a lodge evidencing financial or management problems?" Should the Grand Lodge review papers prepared by a Research Lodge for publication? One item which was dealt with finally was the decision to recommend to the Records Committee to continue microfilming Grand Lodge Proceedings plus items listed as being contained in cornerstones, as far as they are available.

The Committee also discussed "A district deputy plan" but agreed to leave the matter to the incoming Grand Master. The Proceedings do not list any District Deputy Grand Masters. How- ever, the slate of officers does list five W. Grand Trustees.

The Ritual Committee held five district meetings dxiring the year at each of which members were in attendance to answer questions and assist in improving the Work. The Committee added:

"Since 1970 present Ritual work in the Entered Apprentice degree has been under consideration with a view to making it more impressive and interesting both to the Candidate and to the

FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 33

Brethren attending, and this has again been given some thought by your Committee and the Board of General Purposes. This is a very lovely degree and one that is most difficult to find room for improvement in, but some further discussion is expected in the coming year and this Committee would be most grateful for any and all suggestions that might assist in this regard."

In view of the statement of the Committee one may wonder what suggestions may be advanced. When subjects like this have come up in other Jurisdictions the conclusion has been almost without fail, in the experience of this Reviewer, leave a good thing alone. Tinkering is likely to be damaging.

The Committee also said:

"Further thought and study has been given to the advisability of adopting a form of ceremony for Public or Semi-Public Installa- tion of Officers in Subordinate Lodges in this Grand Jurisdiction and at a meeting of the Board of General Purposes held on Jan- uary 10, 1976 the following motion was presented and adopted: 'That Craft Lodges be permitted Semi-Public or Public Installations provided they be conducted by the Grand Master, or a Past Grand Master delegated by the Grand Master, on a one year trial basis.' Your Committee concurs with this resolution and would recommend that it receive the approval of this Grand Lodge."

Since the report was received and adopted by the Grand Lodge one can assume that the proposals will be tried.

The Junior Grand Warden provided an interesting note on the relations between the Grand Lodges of New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island.

"Our sister and adjacent jurisdiction, the Grand Lodge of Prince Edward Island, F. & A.M. celebrated their Centennial An- niversary covering a period of one week at various points through- out the Province, culminating with the convocation of the Grand Lodge being held at the Charlottetown Hotel in that City on Friday and Saturday, June 28 and 29, 1975.

"The event is of particular historical interest to the Masonic Fraternity of New Brunswick inasmuch as the Grand Lodge of New Brunswick constituted and installed the first Grand Lodge Officers of Prince Edward Island. This custom has been followed out and continued without interruption for the past 100 years. It is interesting to note that first installation in 1875 was made by the then M.W. Grand Master J. V. Ellis and that 50 years afterward in 1925 at the celebration of their fifty years the installation was made by his son Most Wor. Grand Master George D. Ellis.

"The convocation was largely attended with over 300 delegates from various Provinces of Canada, the U.S.A. and Costa Rica."

Once again, only one lodge was not represented at the Semi- annual Communication and none failed to have representation at the Annual Communication.

The Grand Lodge acted as host for the 20th Annual North- east Conference on Masonic Education and Libraries. The Con- ference, one of the outstanding Masonic educational conferences held in the United States, embraces the Jurisdictions of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connec- ticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia.

The Committee on Restoration of William Pitt Tavern, in Portsmouth, looked into the progress of the restoration. In 1971 these Reviews reported on the project. The Grand Lodge of New Hampshire was born in the building on July 8, 1789. The original plan undertaken by the Grand Lodge was to restore the lodge room area, the third floor of the building. But this cannot be done until the lower levels are restored. The structure is of histor- ical significance not only to Masons but to the State and the Nation. This is the original building, not a restoration. Some of those entertained in this 18th century tavern were George Washington, General Lafayette and John Hancock. The Grand Lodge has already set aside $23,000.00 towards the restoration.

Masonic workshops were held in every district during the course of the Masonic year with the District Deputy Grand Master of each district presiding. All district workshops were attended by the Grand Master. The purpose of these workshops was to

FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 35

inform the brethren of the programmes pushed by the Grand Lodge.

The New Mexico Freemason, now in its 41st year, goes monthly to nearly 14,000 individuals including Entered Apprentices and numerous interested widows.

The Grand Lodge has an active Public Schools Committee as well as similar committees in the constituent lodges. Desirable as the aims of these committees may be such activities would not be countenanced in our Jurisdiction as M.W. Bro. W. J. Dunlop pointed out in these Reviews for 1961.

Plans for the celebration of the 100th Anniversary of Masonry in New Mexico are well organized. They include a banquet and church service. The Committee is publishing a volume, already written, of the History of New Mexico Free- masonry through 100 years. The Grand Lodge has budgeted $10,000 for a concise history, drawn from the available 500 page manuscript.

' Although only indirectly related to the Grand Lodge of New Zealand, the Proceedings include a concise but informative history of the Grand Lodge of Finland. Since the information was new to this Reviewer it may also not be without interest to readers of these Reviews.

"The Grand Lodge of Finland has requested the establishment of regular fraternal relations. This Grand Lodge was formed in 1924 under the sponsorship of the Grand Lodge of New York. It has a strength of 72 Lodges and 2900 members. The Masonic history of Finland stems from that of Sweden and Lodges have existed there since 1756. Modern Freemasonry began in Finland when in 1922 a group of Finnish Brethren presented a Petition to the Grand Lodge of New York for a Lodge to be Chartered in Helsinki under the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of New York. The Petition was granted and the Lodge was warranted and constituted on 18 August 1922. The Lodge grew in strength and

i6 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA

daughter Lodges were established and in 1924 three Lodges petitioned the Grand Lodge of New York to constitute them into a Sovereign Grand Lodge of Finland and this was granted. The Grand Lodge of Finland has been accorded fraternal recognition by most regular Grand Lodges including those of England, Ireland and Scotland and all American, Australian (except Tasmania) and Canadian Grand Lodges. By oversight no previous request has been submitted to the Grand Lodge of New Zealand until last year. The Board will recommend that recognition be accorded."

The Grand Lodge of New Zealand accorded the recognition requested.

Proceedings, by their very nature, usually contain few refer- ences to ritual. One interesting matter which arose during the year related to the opening of the V.S.L. The Board of General Purposes described the problem.

"The instruction contained in the standard Ritual of the Three Degrees provides that when opening the V.S.L. in the First Degree, it shall be opened at either Ruth II or Psalm CXXXIII. Over a long period of time Lodges have found that the pages of the V.S.L. at these two places have become soiled, torn and loose. The Board considers that there are several alternative portions of the V.S.L. at which it could be opened which would enable Lodges to spread the wear considerably at their discretion, and the Board will recommend the adoption of a wider list of alternatives to achieve this end."

It was moved that the Standard N. Z. Ritual be amended by altering the rubric following the Opening of the Lodge in the first degree to permit no fewer that 33 options, involving all Degrees. Although of interest, the references are too numerous to list here. Two, however, from the writings of St. Paul were deleted by amendment. The motion carried as amended.

A ruling of the Grand Lodge prohibits the raising of funds from lotteries. Many districts support the activities of District Masonic Trusts by promoting gala days, fair days and sporting tournaments. The Grand Lodge has received numerous requests to remove the complete prohibition on lotteries and to substitute a qualified approval. The Board concurred and recommended an amendment to place the control in the hands of the Provincial Grand Masters. After some adverse comments, the motion carried.

A proposal to add a lengthy lecture (given in full in the Pro- ceedings and much too long to be included here) to the ritual of the Second Degree which involved an extended explanation of the Seven Liberal Arts and Sciences was defeated.

Thanks to the early arrival of the Proceedings for 1976, we have a really up-to-date record of the Masonic activities in New Zealand.

The first item of business at the Annual Communication, after the confirmation of the minutes, was the election of a new Grand Master, M.W. Bro. A. E. Shuttleworth having completed his three year term. M.W. Bro. Donaldson was the unanimous choice.

The Board of General Purposes proposed an amendment to the Constitution to allow the use of the Square and Compasses above funeral notices and other Masonic "notifications" but otherwise prohibited its use for commercial publications. The Board considered the rule as it stood to be too restrictive and thought that the new rule would make notices more distinguish- able to Brethren and would disclose nothing to the public with which they were not already familiar.

A representative of every Lodge in the Jurisdiction was present at the Installation of the Grand Master-Elect as well as many distinguished representatives of the sister Australian Grand Lodges. The Grand Master took the opportunity to suggest several ways and means to strengthen and extend Masonry in New Zea- land. He pointed out the responsibilities which a lodge owes to the candidate and reminded his hearers that they do not end until the candidate has been thoroughly integrated with the Lodge and its customs and is perfectly at home with all members. He thought that a new Brother should be encouraged to attend re- hearsals where the atmosphere is less formal than it is at regular meetings.

He concluded: "Freemasonry in this country is in good heart, and it is encouraging to know that candidates are coming forward regularly. Therefore it is for us to make sure that happy state of affairs continues."

The Grand Lodge met in six Emergent Communications to dedicate new Temples and twice to lay cornerstones. On each occasion the record stated: "The Grand Master dispensed with Labor and several who were not Master Masons were admitted for the Ceremony." Subsequently the report continued "Those who were not Master Masons retired and Labor was resumed." On another occasion the Grand Lodge met to unveil an historical marker commemorating the formation of the Grand Lodge in 1787. On this occasion the Grand Master "dispensed with Labor and the Grand Lodge repaired to the Town Common for the unveiling." The Honorable and W. Brother Sam J. Ervin, Jr., U.S. Senator (retired). Grand Orator of the Grand Lodge, delivered the oration. He also delivered the oration at the Annual Communication.

With such a round figure for the membership total it seems a pity that the largest Lodge in North Dakota. Shiloh No. 1, should have a membership of 601 and not a round 600. However, Century Lodge No. 60 has a membership of 100. So much for coincidence.

The loss of 171 in the total membership is considerably lower than the corresponding figure for some years. Last year we reported that a total of 200 candidates raised had not been matched nor surpassed since 1967. This year the figure rose to 213.

The Grand Master recorded 64 visitations. These included the Grand Lodges of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta. He also attended the Banff Conference; 75th Anniversary, Alameda, Sask.; and a lodge meeting in Brandon.

The Report on the Condition of Freemasonry showed that the Masons of North Dakota "are a travelling lot." No less than 84 percent of the 74 lodges which replied to a questionnaire report- ed that they had "visited another Lodge either as a Lodge function or as individual members."

According to the biography of the Grand Master. M.W. Bro. R. K. Muhs, Sr.. "His term as Grand Master was highlighted by the Masonic Memorial auditorium Project in the Peace Garden." The ground dedication ceremony was held on the site in 1976. No further details were included.

While the number of raisings, affiliations and reinstatements approximate those of the previous two years the number of deaths, demits and suspensions showed a welcome reduction.

The Grand Lodge presented the Erasmus James Phillips Medal to M.W. Bro. E. W. Nancekivell. The award is particularly gratifying as the number of such presentations is strictly limited.

The Grand Master was present at the Installations of 36 lodges, 24 during the month of January. He also attended all 15 District Meetings.

The Deputy Grand Master also had a busy year. In addition to his many Masonic duties he visited hospitals, shut-ins. Masonic widows, and others. Visits covered 120 six hour days.

The Grand Secretary opened his report: "I am almost afraid to write this — but at this moment NO Ohio Lodge has sustained damage to a Temple because of fire, lightning, wind or vandal- ism this year."

Only five lodges were not represented at the Annual Com- munication.

The Library Committee expressed regret that more Masonic students do not make use of the reference library, located in Worthington. "It is unquestionably one of the finest Masonic libraries to be formed anywhere."

The Public Relations Committee suggested that the Grand Lodge construct a Masonic lodge over the old general store in a historic village reconstructed by the Ohio Historical Society near

Columbus. The Grand Lodge authorized the completion of the lodge room at a cost not to exceed $20,000.00, with an annual appropriation of approximately $12,000.00 for staffing and maintenance.

The Grand Lodge laid five cornerstones for lodge buildings and dedicated four new lodge buildings. One cannot fail to be impressed by the clear evidence of activity in the constituent lodges.

The Grand Master attended the 100th Anniversary of the laying of the cornerstone of the "Old Union Agency Building" at Muskogee which now houses the Five Civilized Tribes Museum. This was the first cornerstone laid by the Grand Lodge of Indian Territory, the ancestor of the present Grand Lodge of Oklahoma. On that occasion, the record states. Father Joseph Samuel Morrow, who served as Special Deputy Grand Master for the occasion, laid the stone. The record, however, does not explain the title Father.

Oregon Military Lodge No. 223, Frankfurt, Germany, which has been mentioned now and then in these Reviews was forced to move from its military base. The charter was returned to Oregon and the Lodge is now established in the Temple of Champoeg Lodge No. 27, in Canby, Oregon. Of the 381 members, scattered all over the world, 224 chose to retain their membership.

The Grand Lecturer presented a brief and thought provoking report. Two paragraphs stood out.

"The ritual is the life of Masonry, and all of the beautiful, character building lessons of our Fraternity are contained therein. The ritual is grammatically correct in every detail; modern; con- cise and unmistakably clear, so it should be the ambition and goal of every officer and of every member to be proficient in the

FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 41

esoteric work of the three degrees: Perfection in the use of the ritual requires constant and thoughtful study to the end that our candidates and members may be favorably impressed with the teachings and aims of Freemasonry.

"I have always noticed that Lodges that do the best work always have good attendance. It seems that the brethren do come to meetings to learn and if they know that they will see a poorly conferred degree or a poor opening ceremony, they may wonder if it is worth while to attend."

The active Committee on Masonic Temples, Halls and Lodge Rooms, reported: "We have had a very busy year as many of our Symbolic Lodges were engaged in upgrading their facilities by acquiring land and erecting new buildings or converting old structures for Masonic purposes." The details are impressive. Nine lodges have completed or are completing new buildings; three have bought and are altering church buildings to suit their purposes; two others have bought non-church buildings, one of which was an American Veterans' Home; seven have bought plots on which to build. Pocono Lodge No. 780, Swiftwater, bought ten acres. The Lodge has a membership of 222, an increase of one during the year.

No doubt some time in the future a student of Masonic history will write an article on the recycling of church structures as Masonic buildings. One finds the activity in many Jurisdictions.

The retiring Grand Master reported that the programme to renovate and refurbish the Masonic Temple in Philadelphia had continued. "It is acclaimed by many to be the most beautiful edifice of its kind in the world."

During his term of office the Grand Master visited every Lodge in the Jurisdiction, supported by many Grand Lodge Officers on every occasion. He and his wife, as representatives of the Grand Lodge attended the celebrations of the Knights of Columbus at their Columbus Day banquet and a few days later attended Mass "at St. Pius IX Church in Parkdale followed by installation of 'fourth degree' Knights." They also attended a lobster supper and dance in Souris that culminated "the State Council Annual State Convention." Their hosts were most gracious on every occasion.

Each year the Grand Lodge awards four bursaries of $250.00 to Masons, their wives, sons or daughters. These awards are based on academic achievement and demonstrated financial need. Thirteen applications were received. Two Masons, a son and a daughter received bursaries.

The Grand Historian presented an interesting report. He spoke of the problems of communication and transportation during the early days of the Craft in Prince Edward Island. In 1876, the Grand Master missed the Annual Communication, held in Feb- ruary, as a severe snow storm cancelled train service. The first word of the formation of the United Grand Lodge of England by the "Modern" and "Ancient" Grand Lodges in 1813 was not recorded in a lodge in Prince Edward Island until August, 1818. St. John's Lodge No. 1, Charlottetown, was established in 1797. The Lodge Minutes, held in Nova Scotia, are a veritable history of Freemasonry in the Province as the next Lodge. Victoria Lodge No. 2, Charlottetown was not chartered until 1857.

The Grand Master reported:

"With the cooperation of Father Irenee Beaubien, s.j. and the assistance of V.W. Bro. J. G. Leboeuf, a Roman C.:tholic mass for Masons was held in the Chapel of Le Convent Jesus Maria, at which a large number of Brethren of all denominations participated. All present agreed that an event such as this could only serve to bind men of all creeds closer and promote harmony."

As the world is large and Freemasonry widespread, one must hesitate to call this event unique. Nevertheless, it certainly was notable.

FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 43

The Grand Master has also planned to form a committee without delay to formulate the arrangements for an Ecumenical Divine Service to be held in the Spring of 1977. Here again, it is hoped that greater numbers will make every effort to participate in future services of this nature.

While visiting during the year the Grand Master laid special emphasis on the following themes:

To determine the reason for non attendance;

To give aid and comfort to the distressed;

To endeavour to supply their wants and necessities;

To give support to the widows and orphans

To assist the aged and infirm;

To recognize our ladies for their support given each of us.

He concluded:

"Brethren, Masonry is not confined to Lodge Meetings and Ritual only. We must strenuously practice the principles and tenets laid down by our Ancient Brethren to the best of those abilities granted us by the Supreme Being, thereby bringing satisfaction to ourselves and honour to the Craft."

The South Shore Forum and Le Club d'Etude Macconique continue with their efforts in providing programmes of Masonic education for those who are endeavouring to further their Masonic knowledge.

The Grand Master attended a unique ceremony in his own lodge. In Charlesville. in November. 1925, four Brothers Armstrong were initiated in the presence and with the assistance of their father V.W. Bro. John Armstrong, the second initiate of that Lodge in December, 1890. Three — V.W. Bro. Tom and Bros. Bob and Barney Armstrong — lived to be invested with their Fifty- Year Service Jewels on the 22nd November, 1975 in their Mother Lodge by the Grand Master whose Mother Lodge is also Charlesville.

The Board of General Purposes reported at the Quarterly Communication that a booklet "What is Freemasonry" has been readily accepted by all and over 11,500 copies have been circulated to Lodges and Brethren. For a considerable time the Board has

44 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA

watched with growing concern the depletion of its numbers and the fact that Candidates were not available in sufficient numbers to replace the losses.

The Board explained: "This booklet is aimed at bridging the knowledge gap which we all seem to be concerned about — just what we can do or tell a suitable person who might be interested in Freemasonry. There is nothing in the booklet that cannot be read by anyone. In fact we suggest that if you consider a friend would become a good freemason, there is no reason why he or his wife should not read the booklet and ask questions concerning the Craft. Read the booklet yourself and do not be afraid to give a copy to any person you consider worthy and who evinces interest in the Craft."

The Board dealt with a matter which has been discussed for some time. "There has been a continuous interest in Brethren wearing name badges and the Board has now granted permission for badges to be worn at Festive Board only. The Board is of opinion that badges should be of uniform design and its presently considering this matter. It is believed that if the Board obtains the name badges and sells them to the Lodge that Lodges would benefit in the cost of each badge. As soon as this matter is resolved, a circular will be forwarded to all Lodges giving details and costs."

The Grand Master described a new development in public relations in Western Australia.

"In October last in Perth, our Brethren decided to invite the T.V. Stations to take pictures inside the Grand Temple (tempor- arily located in the Perth Concert Hall, a very beautiful auditor- ium). When all the delegations had entered, and taken up their positions, we all stood up. Cameramen from two of the Stations played on the Brethren and the Hall for several minutes and then withdrew. The previous afternoon, at the Lord Mayor's Reception, I had been volunteered by the Grand Master, M.W. Bro. John Murdoch, to be interviewed. For approximately five minutes, I answered and I trust satisfactorilv. questions concerning our Order."

The Bicentennial Committee produced a 104 page book entitled "A Bicentennial Review of Rhode Island Freemasonry." A copy went to every member in the Jurisdiction.

The Grand Master believes that one of the problems faced in Rhode Island is lack of communication. He held discussions during the year with members of concordant bodies and thinks that it will be feasible to put out a statewide newsletter for all bodies.

Since there are 182 Lodges in the Jurisdiction, which covers a vast area, the Grand Master realized that he could not visit them all. At the same time he thought that many should be visited. He therefore chose one third, or 60, and asked specific Lodges to invite two or more neighbouring Lodges to meet with them. In this way he was able to centre on the 61 which have major problems and to visit with others. He probably met with half the resident members of the Jurisdiction.

The Grand Master made many sound observations, based on the experiences of his year in office. Two paragraphs, of several, gave a good example of his thoughts.

"There are many things that might be of concern to a Grand Master, however, I singled out four that I undertook to adjust during my year. I endeavoured to reduce the number of demits issued to members who had no intention of affiliating immediately with another Lodge: reduce the number of suspensions for non- payment of dues; provide some instruction and leadership to the senior lodge officers and to provide a clearer understanding to the membership, their families, their friends, and the people of the community of what Freemasonry was all about and to identify some of the work the fraternity attempts to do for all concerned. I believe some gain has been made in all four areaS through direct contact by myself and through the work of the D. D.G.Ms.

"It is of great concern to me that we have forgotten one of our basic principles — Charity. Our Benevolent Fund is there for a purpose and so is the Benefit Fund. It seems to me we as Masons are not attending to the needs of our members, their families and in some cases our friends who need our assistance. Most people today are busy and have few needs that they cannot meet in this affluent society while the less fortunate are overlooked and indeed

46 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA

forgotten. We must take time to care and think about these lesb fortunate who have pride and will not seek our help. The Worship- ful Master and his senior officers must be ever mindful of this responsibihty and diplomatically ensure that all such cases receive their attention. The Worshipful Master is charged with many more responsibilities than merely conducting his business and emergent meetings."

The Grand Master Mason, replying to the toast to the Grand Lodge at the Annual Communication, said that during the year the only place abroad which he had visited Masonically was France. He confined his travels to Scotland and had at last manag- ed to visit the most northerly Lodge in the Constitution. Lodge Aurora No. 1654, Unst, Shetland. Lodge Aurora is situated on an island with a population of only 1,000 people, which means that every Freemason is known and all their actions are closely watched. They must endeavour to make themselves worthy of their high tradition.

"What has really delighted me in Scotland as a whole," the Most Worshipful Grand Master Mason commented, "has been the immense involvement of the Brethren in different aspects of the lives of the communities. I was in a Lodge in the Mull of Kintyre seven days ago. They had already contributed very large sums of money to the war disabled hospital at Erskine, and they made a very generous donation to Grand Lodge funds. Other Lodges all over Scotland are doing the most interesting and original things in the way of the betterment of the unfortunate members of the local community — not the Brethren of the community, but the unfortunate members of the community — and that is what my predecessor. Brother David Liddell-Grainger. and I have been stressing to you all along, that it is by involvement in the communi- ties in which we live that we as Freemasons can make our greatest impact. We can make the world at large see that Masonry stands for something that is good not only by practising its principles inside the Lodge but outside in the community. That, Brethren, is to my mind the important thing, and now that it is happening, what a great future we have."

The highlight of the first six months of the year was the "Consecration of Lodge Arafura at Nhulunbuy." The new Lodge is about 2,300 miles from Adelaide and some hundreds of miles from their nearest neighbours in Darwin and Katherine. The Grand Director of Music and the Grand Organist combined to record a programme of music for the occasion.

At seven of the eleven Special Communications called, the Grand Lodge dedicated three lodges, dedicated and laid corner- stones at two more and laid two cornerstones for two new temples. Cornerstones, by their nature, must be laid in public. Masons in our Jurisdiction, however, may be surprised to learn that the dedications of lodges in South Carolina are also public. The typical account of these events runs along the following lines:

"The Grand Lodge was called from labor to refreshment and under the direction of the Acting Grand Marshal, the Grand Lodge Officers entered the Hall, assumed their station and places, and then proceeded with the dedicatory ceremony in accordance with ancient Masonic usage.

"The Grand Master introduced the Grand Lodge Officers and several of them spoke briefly congratulating the Brethren of the Lodges upon their accomplishment in the erection of their new Masonic Temple.

48 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA

"The Worshipful Masters of Shibboleth, Equality, and Pro- gress Lodges were introduced. An announcement was made that the banquet would be held in the dining room of the Shrine Club which was next door to the Lodge Hall and that all were invited to attend.

"The ladies and non-Masons were then excused from the Hall after which the Grand Lodge was called from refreshment to labor and closed in ample form."

The Grand Master spoke on the subject of outdoor meetings for which there are more and more requests. The forerunner was the Rock Quarry Meeting held annually "in Wing's Quarry near Traveler's Rest." It was first planned 35 years ago. The movement is growing. As the Grand Master said:

"This year I had the pleasure of attending several other open air meetings which I am sure will rapidly grow in popularity and tradition. The Inspirational Meeting for the TTiird Masonic District is held in the Indian Field Camp Ground near St. George. Last year was the third year this particular location has been used and is one all South Carolina Masons should visit. The Camp Ground possesses an impressive historical background which is associated with the religious growth in the St. George community and is a place heaped with inspiration.

"Other open air meetings which seem to be growing in popularity are: Ferguson Mountain near York, and the 'Cow Pasture' which is located near Hickory Tavern. These unusual meetings attract masons in large numbers and the fellowship and food are really great."

The dominant theme at the 28 District meetings and at many other Masonic gatherings during the year was "A Time for Rededication." The emphasis related the Masonic heritage to the establishment and development of the United States. All but three District Meetings were open to Masons and non-Masons alike including ladies and young people. This type of public meeting has been used for several years and has been deemed effective.

FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 49

The Grand Master approved four dispensations for outdoor meetings, provided proper precautions were taken.

Although membership declined, the loss was the lowest in seven years. Many lodges are receiving applications for the first time in years. Applications increased by 16 per cent. One lodge, Rapid City No. 25 had 19 applications for the E.A. Degree at one time. This is the second largest lodge in the Jurisdiction, with 493 members. Rapid City has two lodges, the second Mount Rushmore No. 220 is also one of the largest with 392 members.

For the first time in some years, the Grand Lodge was invited to lay a cornerstone of a non-Masonic Temple, the Rapid City Boy's Club building. Rapid City must be a stronghold of Masonry. It is the largest city in the state and in 1970 had a population of 43,836.

At the February Half-yearly Communication, the Grand Master spoke at length on the place of Freemasonry in the com- munity. His views were clear and he did much to answer the dis- satisfaction of those who claim that Freemasonry is not doing enough.

"Freemasons work for the welfare of mankind. It is not the business of the Craft to go out into the world as such, and to ally itself to particular plans of social reform. Where that has been tried by Freemasonry in some countries of Europe, Freemasonry itself has disappeared. How then does it work for the welfare of mankind? Let me answer the question this way, quoting the late M.W. Bro. Judge Book, of Victoria. If we look at the history of the past, we find that there have been schemes of every sort and kind for the reform and betterment of mankind. Why have these schemes not succeeded? The reason, I believe is simply this — that there have not been enough men fine enough of soul, wide enough of sympathy, strong enough of character, and noble enough of nature to make those dreams come true. What we need to make our dreams come true, our social dreams, our national dreams, our international dreams is not so much more laws and regulations. Some people think that perhaps we've got too many of these already. What we need is better men with more heroic integrity.

50 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA

"Therefore, when Freemasonry, instead of allying itself to plans of social reform, and becoming involved in dispute, devotes all its benign energy and influence to enobling the souls and strengthening the characters of individual men, then it is doing fundamental work on behalf of all enterprise. By its ministry to the individual, drawing him into the circle of a great fellowship, exhalting his faith, refining his ideals, enlarging his sympathies and strengthening his character, in this way Freemasonry best serves society, the State in which we live, and the world at large. The Craft will not attract men into its lodges if it tries to be any- thing but Freemasonry.

"I have pondered deeply on this. I do not think for one minute that we should compete with the Service Clubs, but there is so much we can do in the community to portray the distinguishing characteristic of a mason's heart. I spoke earlier of our Homes. Many lodges are doing great work raising money to help certain institutions, and willingly donate money at Christmas time to bring a little happiness. A group of lodges on the North-West Coast are trying to arrange to give underprivileged children holidays, and all this I heartily commend. Taking elderly citizens for a drive, and assisting the Blood Bank are worthy projects."

Lodges, 387. Membership, 97,806. Gain, 881.

Last year we reported that the gain of 550 in membership was the largest since 1967. The 1976 gain was the largest in 15 years. For 35 years the Grand Secretary has been able to report a net gain, the largest being 5,076 in 1946.

The Grand Lodge did a great deal of work on the Grand Lodge Building in Nashville. The offices of the Grand Master, Grand Secretary and Board of Control were redecorated and re- furbished. There were 117 windows in the building which had either been broken by vandals or had fallen out from age. These were all replaced and all windows were "corked, painted and cleaned."

During the year the Grand Lodge learned that the first Grand Master of Masons in Tennessee, M.W. Bro. Thomas Claiborne, Grand Master, 1813 and 1814, was buried in an unmarked grave in Nashville. The Grand Lodge bought and erected an appropriate marker.

The Grand Master expressed his appreciation of the efforts of those who secured an amendment to the Tennessee Code to

FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 51

keep lodge properties not used for commercial purposes, tax exempt.

The Chairman of the Bicentennial Committee gave an address in which he reported on the Masonic backgrounds of Andrew Jackson, Samuel Houston and the Marquis de Lafeyette. Jackson was elected Grand Master in 1822, when Houston was present. Lafeyette was present in 1825. The speaker also stated that of the 14 presidents of the United States only Jackson and Truman had been a Grand Master.

The Grand Secretary's report is one of the best organized in all the Proceedings read by this Reviewer. Not only does he give the figures for the current and previous year but he also gives a tabulated statement for three years for purposes of comparison. Although a loss figure of 2,183 is not small, it is not great when considered against the total membership. It works out at 2.24 members per lodge.

The Grand Lodge dedicated no fewer than 13 new lodge buildings. In addition the Grand Lodge also "levelled" 13 corner- stones. The buildings involved in most cases were schools. Four lodges, a county courthouse and county jail also were included.

The Grand Master wrote a monthly column for the Texas Freemason. Among his subjects during the year were: Rededi- cation. Public Schools, Masonic Leadership and America and Masonry. A column on Past Masters showed the contribution they can make to a lodge.

In the list of "Dispensations granted" 20 lodges were per- mitted to move into their new Masonic Temples. Twenty-three lodges celebrated centennials. The new, in buildings, and the old, in lodges, are well combined in Texas.

The Grand Master was pleased with what he saw in his year in office. He found the condition of the constituent lodges to be excellent, both financially and otherwise. There is sufficient influx of new members to reduce greatly the practice of having Past Masters return to the line of officers. The average age of members is going down and many lodges are having to hold extra meetings for degree work. Since Unity Lodge No. 18 in Ogden, raised 13. it must have had a busy year. Three lodges raised nine each. One small lodge, Basin No. 20, in Roosevelt, with only 65 members initiated four.

Last year we remarked on the comprehensiveness of the Re- port of Committee on Grand Master's Address. The current Chairman explained "The traditional significance of the Report . . . for the past ten years and more has been the unexcelled eloquence of Past Grand Master Milton S. Czatt. His incisive observations, evaluations and composition have been looked forward to by the members of this Body." The new Chairman said that he would not attempt to try to use the same mould. Nevertheless, the Com- mittee once again presented a most comprehensive statement.

Ever since 1947, or earlier, the uses and costs of mainten- ance and repair of the Masonic Temple have caused grave concern. The Grand Master proposed an investigation of the building with a view to converting the fifth floor into a lodge room and stage to handle 500 people. A new hotel and parking garage in an urban renewal plan prompted the proposal.

The Grand Lecturer described one activity not noticed before by this Reviewer. For several years the D.D.G.M.s have divided themselves into two degree teams, one in the Northern and one in the Southern part of the State. They work in lodges to which they have been invited. The effort appears to have been well worthwhile.

The Grand Secretary again listed long-time Lodge Secretaries. One has served 46 years. During the year ill-health forced a 50- year Secretary to retire. Here must be a record.

From time to time Proceedings of various Grand Lodges record requests from constituent lodges to erect signs on roads leading into towns listing times and places of lodge meetings. If memory serves correctly, such requests have usually been denied. The following paragraph in the Report of the Board of General Purposes, therefore, is of some interest.

"A Lodge wishing to erect a Sign on Notice Boards at the entrances to a Town or City listing dates of meetings, are re- quested to submit for the approval of the Grand Secretary, r design of the proposed Sign, incorporating the symbol of the square and compasses in the same proportions as that illustrated in the Book of Constitutions of the Past Deputy Grand Master's Jewel."

"Why is it that we count our blessings on our fingers and tally our miseries on a computer?"' That was the question asked by the Grand Master when he described some of the "troubles, complaints and errors of the computer system" which the Grand Lodge had inherited. The trouble arose because the data proces- sing company involved serviced only one fraternal organization, the Grand Lodge of Virginia and had not done the research required when they took the contract. The Grand Master described the solution:

"The Grand Secretary then contacted several Grand Juris- dictions whose records are computerized. The issue of the right company to do our work was pinpointed to a company handling fraternal organizations exclusively. Upon excellent recommenda-

54 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA

tions from the Grand Lodge of Ohio, the Grand Lodge of Kansas, and the Grand Lodge of Missouri, a company in St. Louis, Missouri was asked to examine our system, rendering a proposal of their program to accommodate our needs."

This information could prove useful to any Jurisdiction contemplating moving into the computer field. The Grand Master did add, however, "Like the Grand Lodge of New York whose first efforts to computerize were a tremendous flop, I would agree . . . that it is too soon to predict that the program will be a success."

"I would prefer to withhold an opinion on the program until we have gone full circle, including a roster, with the new data processing company. Advancing technology is changing the way many businesses and professions operate. The future is wide open. The advantages are great. The costs, too. are great."'

The Grand Master devoted some time to comments on public or open installation of officers. Of his 193 dispensations issued, almost 60 involved such installations. With 345 lodges, the total suggests that just over 17 percent hold open or public installations.

The Committee on Art is aiming to have portraits of all Past Grand Masters for display at the Bicentennial Anniversary of the founding of the Grand Lodge in 1978.

In reporting on "Permissions" the Grand Master stated:

"New 1975 legislation authorizes the Grand Master to grant permission for the wearing of Masonic aprons in public parades and in attendance at certain public meetings such as school awards programs. Approval was given for the several requests of this kind. While granting permission. I reminded the Brethren of the previous prohibition against such appearances which had been based on fears of adverse reaction from hostile or uninformed spectators."

During his official visit to the lodges in Alaska, the Grand Master motored from Valdez to Dawson. Y.T., where he visited

The Grand Master granted a petition for a new Lodge to be known as Lodge of Recreation, which was sponsored by the Lodge of Sportsmen No. 218, Fremantle. It was the first new Lodge to be consecrated in Western Australia since December 13, 1969.

The Proceedings for April gave a digest of the Transactions of the Tenth Australasian Masonic Conference. Some of the decisions reached will require amendments in the various Grand Lodge Constitutions. Among the topics covered were:

1. Recognition of Grand Lodge Rank, held by a brother of another Constitution.

2. Card of Recognition.

This will be a card produced by the Grand Lodge and called the "Grand Lodge's Introduction Card." Lodge Secretaries will validate the card.

8. Version of V.S.L.

The Board of General Purposes of Western Australia confirmed that the King James Version be used.

10. National Anthem.

All Grand Lodges agreed that the Queen would be recognized when singing the National Anthem.

The Board of General Purposes has arranged for a sign of polished "jarrah" (i.e. a piece of polished Western Australia mahogany gum-tree) to be fitted at the Perth Air Terminal giving the name, location and telephone number of Grand Lodge. It has also arranged with the Fremantle Port Authority for the name and telephone number to be recorded at the information

56 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA

desk, of the Terminal. These arrangements will greatly assist Free- masons on tour who are desirous of visiting Lodges during their stay in Western Australia.

The Grand Master attended seven Masonic Balls in six months. Concerning these functions he said: "It would seem that members of Lodges often fail to appreciate the wonderful financial assistance that has been given to our charitable funds in the past as a result of the efforts of those committees who have organised such functions as the Annual Grand Masonic Ball, the Annual South of the River Debutante Ball and of more recent origin the Masonic Concerts."

The Grand Secretary presented his 24th annual report. Only nine Brethren have held the office in the 112 year history of the Grand Lodge. One jurisdiction with an even more spectacular re- cord is our own with eight names in 121 years. Each list shares the name Logan.

Grand Masters in their annual reports or addresses, which are universal in all jurisdictions, tend to present the bright side. M.W. Bro. Shannon was an exception. While a Reviewer certainly must not criticize actions in a sister Jurisdiction he is at liberty to comment favourably on actions which, though difficult, are done for the good of the Order.

As the Grand Master said:

"We have been merrily passing through the years proclaiming the good health and well-being of our beloved Fraternity. At the same time we have been travelling on a path of self-destruction, and will continue to do so unless we get our priorities in the right order and do some improving in our way of thinking and doing. I am speaking specifically of officer proficiency, responsibility and obedience to the Laws of Masonry. We have been tolerating will- ful disobedience of our Masonic Laws and deterioration of our Masonic ritual for years without making one defensive move to combat it."

The Grand Master determined to deal boldly with the problem. He attended one installation and prohibited the install- ation of the Master elect who was not proficient. He also issued

FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 57

three edicts removing the Masters elect because at the time of their election and installation they were not proficient. Other relative actions need not be described here. The Grand Master summed up the matter: "It is the responsibility of everv Master of every Lodge in this Grand Jurisdiction to make sure' that the person elected to be his successor is duly and truly prepared before permitting his installation. Failure to do so can cause the mdividuals directly involved much mental anguish and the Lodge great embarrassment."

In his Report the Grand Master said that he had entered his >ear in office with two goals, supported by the Grand Lodge; First to operate a fiscally responsible budget and secondly to promote and foster good will and fraternal relations among the Subordinate Lodges and to encourage greater cooperation with appendant bodies.

He achieved his first aim and left a surplus for his successor, the first in six years. The difficult task was made at the expense of "The Wyoming Mason," discontinuance of the schools of instruction and reduction of the Masonic leadership workshops from 11 to 4 meetings.

The second aim he achieved by accepting all invitations from lodges, except one when he had a conflict. As he said "I believe that the Grand Master has to keep closer contact with the Lodges and bring their ideas into the overall plan of Wyoming Masonry."

The Centennial History of the Grand Lodge was completed and distributed. One thousand copies were printed of which 700 were contracted for in advance. When the volume appeared many more were sold leaving a small stock in the hands of the Grand Secretary.

ADDRESS BY BRO. THE VERY REVEREND A. LORNE MACKAY

AT THE GRAND MASTER'S BANQUET

Held in the Canadian Room

Royal York Hotel, Toronto, Ontario

JULY 20tli, 1977

THE GRAND MASTER: I am now going to ask M.W. Bro. W. L. Wright to introduce our guest speaker.

M.W. BRO. W. L. WRIGHT:

Most Worshipful Grand Master, Distinguished Guests and Brethren: It has been said that Prince Edward Island and the other Atlantic Provinces have been renowned for exporting potatoes, preachers and University Presidents. Our Guest tonight fulfills that assertion for although he was born in Prince Edward Island, he came West to receive his University education at the University of Western Ontario and at the Presbyterian College in Montreal. He is one of Canada's leading Churchmen — and has served in Vancouver, Montreal and for the past twenty-five years in Hamilton, thus our Honoured Guest has followed the admonition of Horace Greeley, the great editor of The New York Tribune in the pioneering days of North America, who inspired many young Americans and Canadians with his cry . . .GO WEST, YOUNG MAN — GO WEST.

This past year our speaker was honoured by his colleagues of the Presbyterian Church in Canada by being elected Moderator, the highest office and as in his local pastoral domain, he dis- charged his duties with effectiveness and with dignity. He is a respected Humanitarian and in the City of Hamilton where he ministers at Central Church, our speaker has devoted his gifts in numerous commendable social projects, not least The United Way. He is Chaplain of Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada. In Masonry he was initiated in Waverley Lodge No. 82 — Montreal and through the years has made a distinct contribution to the order. He is a thirty-third degree Mason. At the present time he holds the office of Provincial Grand Master of The Royal Order of Scotland. He is the worthy recipient of the William Mercer Wilson Medal for meritorious service.

A man of such spiritual, mental and moral scature needs no further dilation on his many virtues. In him we salute an out-

2 APPENDIX ••£••

standing Churchman, a worthy citizen, a concerned Mason and a personal friend. We welcome Brother The Very Reverend Allan Lome MacKay, Bachelor of Arts, Dr. of Laws, Dr. of Divinity, as our speaker this evening. How do you receive him — Applause.

Most Worshipful Grand Master, Officers and Members of Grand Lodge, Distinguished Guests and Brethren all:

It is a great privilege to be invited to speak at the Grand Master's Banquet on this 122nd Communication of the Grand Lodge of Canada in the Province of Quebec — laughter — alright — Province of Ontario. — Sorry Eric — As I look over this vast sea of faces, I must say I have not had a congregation this large in some time. And this presents me with several serious temptations. The first of course is very obvious — I am tempted to preach a sermon, but since all of you were in Church last Sunday, I am sure I can relieve you of that fear. BUT an even greater temptation as I look over this great number is to ask that we take up the collection. — Laughter — I have to confess I am feeling just a wee bit nervous as I've already demonstrated rather fully. I am afraid I am going to be a very great dis- appointment to some of you. For one thing, I have been told on very high authority that some of you have a pool going on how long this speech is going to last. — Laughter — That's bound to mean I am going to disappoint some of you, quite a few of you I guess, but on the other hand, looking on the positive side, I'll have the satisfaction of knowing that I'll have at least one satisfied customer at the end. I am tremendously grateful for the most gracious introduction given to me by a very dear friend throughout the years. He has presented me in a very charming way and I appreciate it greatly. As I listened to him, I could not help remembering the words of Mark Twain who in a similar situation said — "Father would have enjoyed it — Mother would have believed it". — Laughter — Then too, listening to the introduction with its somewhat exaggerated description of my talents, I am nervous as well because I fear your expectations may have been raised too high.

A small boy whose religious education had been somewhat neglected was sent to Camp and on Sunday, along with the other lads, was taken to Church. As the minister entered with his flow- ing resplendent robes and began the service this young lad turned to a pal and said "Hey Sam, it that God?" No replied the friend "he ain't even a Bishop yet". — Laughter — Well I ain't even a Bishop, I'm only a Presbyterian — so don't get your hopes up too high. I suppose you know what they say about Presbyterianism — it doesn't keep you from doing anything — it only keeps you from enjoying it. — Laughter — It's not really true. You know we ministers really do have a somewhat interesting life, one never knows what's going to happen next, but we can usually handle things pretty well though we get a lot of help at times. A minister friend of mine whose name is Hazlewood was out

APPENDIX "B" 3

golfing one day and as he came to the last hole, which was a reasonably short one, he needed an eagle to win, so he put everything he had into his swing but unfortunately he hit a terrific slice. There was a roar of thunder as the ball sent sailing high, wide and handsome, hit a tree, bounced off a fence, passed swiftly through a sandtrap, onto the green and finally rolled into the hole for an eagle. Gordon looked up at the Heavens and said "Thank you, Lord, but I'd rather do it by myself". — Laughter

Mind you. we don't always win. One day a man came to a minister and said "I stole this chicken — I wonder if you would care to have it?" The minister of course was completely horrified and said "you know I can't receive stolen goods, you must return it to the person from whom you stole it". BUT said the thief "I offered it to him and he refused it". "Well", said the minister, "in that case you might as well keep it for yourself . . . And when the minister got home that night he found one of his chickens missing. — Laughter.

Mostly, however, we can come up with the right answers. A certain minister got a phone call from the Income Tax people asking if a certain man had given three thousand dollars to the Church as he claimed. The minister replied "I'd rather not say just now but if you will call me back tomorrow, I think the answer will be yes". — Laughter.

Of course the story I love best of all when it comes to telling stories on ministers, has to do with the experience of my dear old friend Archbishop Bill Wright. Years ago he was out calling on his parishioners and he came to a certain house and he knocked on the door and to his complete surprise he heard a lovely, lilting voice saying "Is that you Angel?" Without pause Bill said "No, but I'm from the same Department". — Laughter.

I started to prepare a speech on Masonry, gentlemen, but when I read my speech I found it very boring and so I have changed the subject. I was reminded of a certain Sunday when a close personal friend, one of my elders, handed me a slip of paper just a few moments before the Service was about to begin. There was a glint of mischief in his eyes and when I read what was on the paper I understood why — because this is what was printed: An earnest young Preacher, eager to improve himself bought a tape recorder and recorded one of his Sunday Services. After supper that evening he set the recorder, settled himself in an easy chair and he began to listen to the playback. The opening prayers, the Scripture reading and the announcements came forth just as he would have wished them and then cam.e the Sermon. . . When he woke up sometime later the choir was singing the closing Hymn. — Laughter.

Gentlemen, this evening I am going to speak on the subject "MAKING THE BEST OF LIFE". I realize fully that I may

4 APPENDIX "B"

not measure up to this rather ambitious subject but I do say this, that while the speaker may indeed put you to sleep the subject shouldn't. In a time of tension and uncertainty and uneasiness when we wonder where the world is going, we need very much to seek and hopefully to discover how to make the best of our lives. I recognize very clearly the dangers of such a subject. Of course to speak with conviction on such a subject may sound very presumptuous on my part. On the surface at least it might appear that I were setting myself up as an expert on the subject. That's always dangerous. I remember one of my favorite stories which I have told all too frequently but which I can't refrain from repeating — of a certain rather brilliant young priest in a Roman Catholic Church who on Mother's Day gave an impas- sioned and scintillating Sermon on the subject "The Glory, TTie Beauty and the Sanctity of Motherhood'' . . . Following the service one of life's unclaimed treasures who I think is often unfairly described as an Old Maid came gushing up to her friend, Mrs. Murphy, and said "Oh, Mrs. Murphy, wasn't that a marvellous Sermon? Did you ever hear such eloquence? Were you not thrilled to hear good Father O'Malley speak so wonderfully about the glory and the beauty and the sanctity of motherhood?" And Mrs. Murphy, who was the mother of 14. replied, "Yes. it was a most eloquent sermon and very well delivered too, and I wish to God I knew as little about the subject as the dear man himself ..." — Laughter.

Mind you, if things keep changing as radically in that Great Church as they seem to be — I'm going to have to throw that story out.

No, Brethren, I am not speaking to you this evening from the point of view of an expert. I'm rather speaking on the theme because it intrigues me. It intrigues me from a personal point of view because, like you I want to make the best of life and, like you, I am a seeker. I want to find the things that really count, the things and the convictions which will enable me to stand steady and experience deep within myself an inner and undisturbable core of serenity. Life is such a short affair even at its longest and at the end of it I'd like to think I made something worthy of it in my own life and be able to leave behind a memory kindly remembered among men. So the question is really important — How can we make the Best of Life?

/ believe that basically we have to find a realistic and wise perspective as we journey through the days and the years of this strange pilgrimage we call Life.

We have to discover, if you will, a philosophy of living which will enable us to see clear-eyed all the problems and all the wrongs without being overwhelmed by them, while at the same time giving our best allegiance to the things which we hold to be true and good and noble and doing all this in the contemporary

APPENDIX "B" 5

situation. One of the ablest thinkers of our time and one of its best critics is a man by the name of Elton Trueblood. Elton Trueblood has given this solemn and sobering appraisal of our present times. He says this "No man knows what the future holds in any particular set of events, but every thoughtful person believes that we are destined to live the remainder of our lives in tension and turmoil. Whatever the course of History may be in the next years, it will not be a course of tranquility. Our modern world has developed so much animosity, so much justifiable fear, so much open conflict that there is no Peace. We are in the monsoon and must weather it out. Instead of pining for calmer days, the way of wisdom is to learn to live realistically in such a time of strain". That, I hold to be a sober and wise appraisal of our present times.

It is true, of course, that our time has experienced great physical changes. Its a brand new world in v/hich v/c are living. Scientifically, we have made tremendous strides far beyond the wildest dreams of our forefathers. In Technological know-how and discovery we have made giant advances. We have such possessions, such physical comforts, gadgets and conveniences that we recognize and acknowledge without question Galbraith's descriptive phrase that this is indeed "the affluent society". Yet, at the same time, if we look at things realistically we have to acknowledge that seldom, if ever, has there been a time of greater restlessness, more inner discontent, more spiritual and moral decay, more destructive personality problems, and more devast- ating inner confusions and soul destroying tensions than in our present day. I can tell you, from the point of view of a working minister dealing with human beings, this is not an exaggeration.

TTiis is not an easy age for those who look at life with any degree of sensitivity. The breakdown of time-tested standards, the growth and devilish ingenuity of organized crime, the increase of mindless violence, the creeping slime of vile pornography, the influences which pollute the mind and pollute the soul, to say nothing of the pollution of the environment and the frightening possibility of Nuclear holocaust, all militate against any easy peace of mind, and indeed, if we are not careful, can generate a kind of inner listlessness which stultifies hope, breeds despair, blinds vision and generates a sick acceptance which in the end, destroys the soul. It is not an easy day and we are all tempted at times to take the cash and let the credit go. nor heed the rumble of a distant drum — in short, to settle for less than the best and by so doing become part of the problem ourselves instead of part of the solution. BY ALL MEANS, I repeat, we must be very realistic in our appraisal of our contemporary society. We must not in any way try to deceive ourselves about the very real seriousness of the evils and wrongs which are present in our world. BUT at the same time, we must not permit these evils to overwhelm us and lead us into despair and futility. WE MUST, rather, see all things in perspective and tackle the problems with courage and determination and with HOPE. In short, we

6 APPENDIX "B"

must see things in their totality and that's the only way we will be able to make the best of life.

Let me tell you a story which to me is a parable for each of us in living. Between the years 1777 and 1832 a man with the ordinary name of John Jones kept a diary which was published a few years ago. He began his diary when he was quite young leaving England to go to Jamaica as tutor to the children of a Government Official. During the two years he spent in Jamaica his diary is filled with countless complaints. He didn't like Jamaica, he didn't like the climate, he didn't like the people, he didn't like the food, he didn't like this — he didn't like that — he wrote that he would rather live on bread and water in England than on banquets in Jamaica. The day he was leaving the Island he said he was happy to see it sink out of sight on the horizon and that he hoped he would never set eyes on it again. He continued his diary in the ensuing years and a few years later one comes across a most astonishing entry. Astonishing in the light of all he had complained about while he was in Jamaica. He wrote in his diary that he would always look back upon the years he had spent in Jamaica as being the happiest years of his life. This little story is a parable for all of us in the age in which we live.

We complain about things as they are and there are, un- doubtedly, as we have seen, many things about which to com- plain. In this age of transition, this age of anxiety, this age of frustration, the problems loom large in our thinking and in our impatience we wish we could see the end of such a time as this. AND yet, brethren, in the good providence of God. it may be that years from now, like the man from Jamaica, many may look back upon these present days as being the most exciting and stim- ulating and interesting days of our lives.

It is said of man that he looks before and pines for what is not. But in our looking before and after and in our pining for what is not, we often miss the opportunities and the blessings of those things which are with us in the HERE AND NOW. We need the exercise of a wise perspective which will enable us to see and to buttress the good things which we all too frequently permit to be blurred or overlooked in our struggles with the problems, the tensions, and the frustrations of our day. BECAUSE MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT — the good things are present even yet. As an old Prayer of the Church has it, we are the steady recipients of "unnumbered mercies, often unnoticed, often un- improved and ever undeserved." We may often think there are nothing but problems, nothing but tensions, nothing but frustra- tions — but he who has real perspective — knows better.

You may recall a passage from a book written a good number of years ago entitled LAVENGRO by GEORGE BORROW. There is a little bit of conversation recorded in that book which I have always found thrilling. It goes like this:

APPENDIX "B" 7

Life is sweet Brother,

Do you think so?

There's night and day Brother, both sweet things, sun, moon

and stars. Brother, all sweet things; there is likewise the

wind on the heath, Life is very sweet, Brother

In sickness Jasper?

There is the sun and the stars. Brother!

In blindness, Jasper?

There's the wind on the heath, Brother.

The point is this, I repeat, he who views life in wide perspective will not allow his inner life to be victimized and down graded by problems, tensions and frustrations. Knowing who he is and possessing the ability to set real value on real blessings, he will face the problems with a steady nerve, look upon the difficulties without panic, and see the frustrations as challenges to find new and better methods of action. A person who has the wisdom to appraise life in its totality and the perspective to appreciate life's true values will not be intimidated by blustering problems of fearful conditions however disturbing.

Moreover, unlike the man from Jamaica, he does not have to wait for years to realize a serene happiness, he can experience it in the here and now of any tumultuous present, he can MAKE THE BEST OF LIFE.

This wide perspective will enable him to do certain things — will enable us to do certain things.

From this wide perspective we can make the best of life as we find a worthy task to which we can devote our lives regardless of material gains.

By that I mean one who gives himself to a task, not prim- arily because it gives him material rewards, but because its what he wants to do more than anything else in the world. Its the finding of a true vocation. I have the feeling that it is at this point that we find the clue to much of the dissatisfaction and the sense of meaninglessness which impoverishes far too many lives. They are working at some task in which they are not the slightest bit interested, they have a job maybe but they have missed a calling. To be truly involved in a task which produces a sense of real satisfaction is to be well on the way to making the most of life.

Some of you perhaps may think that this is simply the fuzzy and impractical thinking of an ivory-tower mentality which is too idealistic for words. Believe me this is not the case. Financial returns are important — of course they are — not for one moment would I deny that; and even in the most satisfying task there are times which can only be described as pure drudgery. This too is part of the situation but I still insist, that to discover a worthy and useful task to which one can give oneself with enthusiasm

8 APPENDIX "B"

and zest; to have the confidence of the task one is engaged in adds to the sum total of things and part of the creative process of the world is to find the secret of making the best of life. As Berdyaev once put it. "The soul will ever prepare creativity even to happiness." I believe this is true because it is the sense of sharing in the creativity of the world which enables one to find happiness, to sense the essential worth of human life. That's a giant step towards Making the Best of Life. It doesn't have to be out in the forefront. Indeed the world at large may not even be aware of it, but if we ourselves see our task as part of the essential order of things and are prepared to give it our best, then with very few exceptions it is possible for all of us to achieve this sense of Making the Best of Life. You know it is of some signifi- cance to me that the most serene person I have met in many years is a man who labours, who is labouring, and has laboured for twenty-five years in a difficult and obscure post in Northern Nigeria, working in an almost hopeless situation against terrific odds. I couldn't stand what he experiences day by day, I couldn't stand it for a month. But he is doing what he wants to do. He loves his work. As I recall the few days I spent with him there I think of him as a man who really is Making the Best of Life.

Again, from a wide perspective we can Make the Best of Life as we truly appreciate and take into account the importance of our fellow human beings.

Reduced to its basic level its the ability to get along with other people, to realize our human brotherhood and our human interdependence. Isn't that the essence of the world's problem today — the need for Nations to learn how to get along in a world which has become a neighbourhood? But before it can work on a world-wide scale or even on a National scale, (and my how this applies to Canada these days), it has to be learned and practised on the individual level. That is where it comes home to each one of us.

To Make the Best of Life, we have to keep in mind that there are other people besides ourselves, people who also have dreams and aspirations and hopes. We have to keep in mind, in spite of inherited prejudices, that people who come from a race or a culture or a colour or a faith other than our own also have much to contribute to the common good and indeed they may have more to contribute than we have.

This will go a long way towards lifting us up from intro- spective self-centeredness, out of petty parochialism, even out of a narrow nationalism, to see the glorious greatness of our world and the waiting possibilities of the Divine Order. The understanding and true practice of real brotherhood will go far to enable us to Make the Best of Life.

Once more, from the wide perspective, we can Make the Best of Life as we discover that that life cannot he defeated

APPENDIX "B" 9

which has a real faith to give depth and meaning and purpose to existence.

It was Maxwell Anderson, I think, who said "the most im- portant thing about any person is what he believes and WHY". It is important because it is the thing which determines how he reacts when life, as it often does, becomes stern and harsh and cruel in our personal experience.

Long years ago Robert Louis Stevenson, whose own life was a continuous battle against difficulties and problems greater than most of us will ever know, wrote a very beautiful and a very great Prayer. It goes like this:

"Grant us, O Lord, the royalty of inward happiness, and the serenity which comes from living close to Thee, Daily renew in us the sense of Joy, and let the Eternal Spirit of the Father dwell in our souls and bodies, filling every corner of our hearts with light and grace; so that, bearing about with us the infection of a good courage, we may be diffusers of Life and may meet all ills and accidents with gallant and high hearted happiness, giving Thee thanks always for all things".

Isn't that beautiful . . !

I suppose this is the sort of thing you would expect a Preacher to say. But the fact is, I've seen this thing at first hand, times without number, and so have you, that human beings Make the Best of Life when their lives are so undergirded by that strong faith that no matter how rough the road may be, or how cruel the circumstances, their lives just simply cannot know defeat.

Making the Best of Life! That surely is our goal. That surely should be our seeking. With the wide perspective which these things in their totality; by the discovery of a worthy task which gives satisfaction and meaning to our existence; through the practical exercise of the true principle of brotherhood; and drawing upon the inexhaustible reservoirs of a living faith, WE can MAKE the Best of Life.

As I draw to a close, I want to remind all of you in my audience tonight, and I think especially YOU, that there are two great institutions which constantly teach and remind us of these great principles I have been annunciating and which by our involvement in these institutions keep us in steady contact with these great principles — these are the Church (or as the case may be the Synagogue) and Masonry. These minister to and influence us in our seeking and in our discovery on how to Make the Best of Life. There is no conflict between them. The Church by its proclamation of a Sovereign God who has created

10 APPENDIX "B"

us to be His children, and which points the way to Salvation; and Masonry, though it is not a religion and has never claimed to be, by its Ancient Landmarks, its emphasis on brotherhood and its stressing of real morality, TOGETHER can lead us to those discoveries which enable us to Make the Very Best of Life. That is why I am a Churchman. THAT is why I am a Mason.

So let me close with these words written in the Boston Book Magazine, Boston, in the year 1904. They are tremendously familiar to all of you and I think they sum up pretty nearly everything I have tried to say to you this evening. These are the words:

"He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often and loved much, who has enjoyed the trust of pure women, the respect of intelligent men, and the love of little children; who has filled his niche and accomplished his task; who has left the world better than he found it, whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul; who has never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty or failed to express it; who has always looked for the best in others and given them the best he had; whose life was an inspiration; whose memory a benediction."

My Brethren: Make the Best of Life!

Thank you (Tremendous applause).

R.W. BRO. R. E. DAVIES:

Most Worshipful Brother Nancekivell, Distinguished Head Table Guests and my Brethren:

Once again a very delightful opportunity has been afforded me. The opportunity of expressing your thanks to a great man, a wonderful Mason and an excellent Churchman and I hasten to add that this task is NOT taken lightly for to adequately say thanks on your behalf is truly a monumental challenge.

Brother Very Reverend A. Lome MacKay, on Monday morning our Grand Master suggested that this banquet had a succession of fine speakers and that he was sure that you would uphold and enhance this reputation. Tonight \ou have used your God-given talents to do just that. No, our expectations were not raised too high for you have not only challenged us but assisted us to MAKE THE BEST OF OUR LIVES. The rapt attention and tremendous applause which your brethren gave to you must indicate their appreciation and now I merely add on their behalf a very genuine and sincere THANK YOU. — Applause.
