40       GRAND    LODGE  OF   CANADA   ANNUAL   COMMUNICATION 

GRAND  MASTER'S  ADDRESS 

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

My  Brethren: 

As  we  meet  for  the  105th  Annual  Communic- 
ation of  this  Grand  Lodge,  we  give  thanks  to  the 
Great  Architect  of  the  Universe  for  His  watchful, 
keeping  care  of  each  one  of  us  since  we  met  last  in 
this  place  a  year  ago.  Some  of  our  number  have 
been  called  to  higher  service;  others  have  been 
prevented  from  attending  here  today  through  sick- 
ness and  adversities  beyond  their  control.  However, 
our  country  has  been  spared  the  ravages  of  war  and 
pestilence,  and  we  have  been  vouchsafed  plentiful 
harvests  and  an  absence  of  any  great  national  cal- 
amities, but  rather  a  measure  of  material  prosperity. 
For  all  our  blessings  we  are  most  grateful  to  the 
Giver  of  every  good  and  perfect  gift. 

We  are  privileged  to  meet  again  in  these  sur- 
roundings in  this  Queen  City  of  Toronto  and  within 
the  facilities  provided  by  the  Central  Technical  High 
School.  The  Committee  on  Arrangements,  and  the 
District  Deputy  Grand  Masters  and  Masters  of  the 
six  Toronto  Districts,  have  again  excelled  in  their 
welcome  and  arrangements  for  the  convenience  of 
our  Annual  Communication.  Toronto,  and  the  Tor- 
onto brethren,  are  noted  for  their  gracious  hospital- 
ity, which  we  fully  appreciate  and  thankfully  acknow- 
ledge. It  is  only  in  this  City,  with  the  accommoda- 
tions available,  that  the  requirements  of  Grand  Lodge 
and  its  guests  can  be  adequately  supplied. 

We  welcome  the  guests  from  other  Grand  Juris- 
dictions who  have  honoured  us  by  their  presence 
today  and  we  heartily  reciprocate  the  good  wishes 
they  bring.  It  has  been  our  great  privilege  to  have 
enjoyed  the  hospitality  and  generous  kindnesses  and 
tributes  of  fraternal  affection  from  our  brethren  of 


TORONTO,    ONTARIO,    1960  41 

the  sister  Jurisdictions  in  the  Dominion  of  Canada, 
and  also  the  Grand  Jurisdictions  beyond  our  borders 
to  the  south,  and  we  devoutly  wish  they  all  could  be 
represented  here  with  us  now.  Our  Annual  Com- 
munication, coming-  beyond  the  middle  of  July,  is 
unique  in  that  respect,  so  we  could  hope  that  it  is  a 
time  when  these  brethren  could  share  with  us  this 
opportunity  of  fraternal  association  without  the  fru- 
strating- experience  of  conflicting  dates  and  engage- 
ments. May  our  proceedings  furnish  all  with  some 
fresh  enthusiasm  for  the  great  cause  of  Freemasonry 
in  our  day  and  happy  recollections  of  a  pleasant 
visit  among  their  Ontario  brethren. 


NECROLOGY 

Our  Heavenly  Father  has  called  home  very 
many  of  our  members  during  this  past  year.  The 
repoit  of  the  Committee  on  Fraternal  Dead  will  deal 
with  our  tribute  to  their  memory.  Particularly 
heavy  have  been  the  losses  sustained  by  our  Board 
of  General  Purposes,  through  the  passing  of  four  of 
our  Past  Grand  Masters  and  two  of  the  Honorary 
Members ;  namely,  Most  Wor.  Bros.  Frank  A.  Copus, 
John  A.  McRae,  Charles  S.  Hamilton  and  Nelson  C. 
Hait,  and  Rt.  Wor.  Bros.  Smith  Shaw  and  John  Ness. 


The  Dean  of  our  Past  Grand  Masters,  Frank  A. 
Copus,  was  born  in  Guildford,  Surrey,  England,  on 
March  22nd,  1879  and  died  suddenly  at  his  home  in 
Owen  Sound,  Ontario,  on  May  1st,  i960. 

On  graduation  he  entered  newspaper  work  in 
Stratford  and  London.  Returning  to  Stratford  in 
1905  he  entered  the  life  insurance  business  which  he 
pursued  with  honor  and  distinction.  A  well  earned 
reputation  for  integrity,  assiduity  and  keenness  of 
intellect  was  rewarded  when  he  was  appointed 
Agency  Manager    for  the  Mutual   Life    Assurance 


42        GRAND    LODGE    OF    CANADA   ANNUAL   COMMUNICATION 

Company  of  Canada,  heading-  the  organization  for 
the  Counties  of  Perth  and  Huron.  He  held  this  post 
for  over  30  years  and  until  retirement  from  active 
duties  in  1945. 

Despite  the  heavy  business  responsibilities  which 
he  carried  he  found  time  and  strength  for  service 
to  the  community  and  country  as  a  public  spirited 
citizen.  He  was  active  in  Board  of  Trade,  Community 
efforts  and  his  Church.  As  a  lay  delegate  from  St. 
James'  Church  (Anglican)  at  Stratford  and  later 
from  St.  George's  Church  at  Owen  Sound  he  was  for 
years  a  member  of  the  Synod  of  the  Diocese  of  Huron, 
serving  actively  on  the  Executive  Committee  of  the 
Diocese.  He  was  Rector's  warden  at  St.  James' 
Church;  at  Owen  Sound  he  was  a  lay  reader  at  St. 
George's  Church. 

It  was  in  Freemasonry,  however,  that  he  found  a 
cause  upon  which  could  be  expended  the  vast  amount 
of  energy  and  ability  that  was  his. 

He  was  initiated  into  Tecumseh  Lodge,  No.  144, 
Stratfqrd,  on  April  10th,  1907,  at  the  age  of  28,  and 
was  elected  Worshipful  Master  in  1911,  and  D.D.G.M. 
of  South  Huron  District  in  1919.  He  was  elected  to 
the  Board  in  1924,  was  Chairman  of  Benevolence 
1929  -  1930,  Deputy  Grand  Master  in  1931,  Grand 
Master  1933,  1934,  Chairman  of  Fraternal  Corres- 
pondence 1947  to  1955,  Chairman  of  Fraternal 
Relations  1956  to  time  of  his  death.  He  was  also  a 
life  member  of  The  Barton  Lodge,  No.  6,  St. 
Andrew's,  No.  16,  Acacia,  No.  61,  St.  George's,  No. 
88,  North  Star,  No.  322,  Stratford,  No.  332,  Uni- 
versity, No.  496,  Ulster,  No.  537  and  Kilwinning, 
No.  565.  For  years  and  until  the  time  of  his  passing 
he  was  the  Grand  Representative  of  the  United 
Grand  Lodge  of  England. 

In  Capitular  Masonry  he  was  a  member  and  Past 
First  Principal  of  Tecumseh  Chapter,  and  Past  Grand 
Superintendent   of   Huron   District    of   the   Grand 


TORONTO.    ONTARIO.    1960  43 

Chapter  of  Royal  Arch  Masons  of  Canada.  He  was 
Past  Preceptor  of  St.  Elmo  Preceptory,  Knights 
Templar. 

In  1934  he  was  admitted  to  membership  in  the 
Royal  Order  of  Scotland.  In  the  Scottish  Rite,  he  was 
a  member  of  the  London  Lodge  of  Perfection,  Rose 
Croix  Chapter  and  Moore  Sovereign  Consistory.  In 
1924  he  was  coroneted  an  Honorary  Inspector-General 
33°  and  in  1933  crowned  a  Sovereign  Grand  In- 
spector-^General  of  the  Supreme  Council  of  the 
Ancient  and  Accepted  Scottish  Rite  for  the  Dominion 
of  Canada.  For  many  years  he  rendered  outstanding 
service  on  various  Committees  and  as  Grand  Prior. 

Despite  his  exacting  activities  in  many  fields  of 
endeavour  his  home  life  was  uppermost  in  his 
thoughts,  being  devoted  to  his  wife  and  family.  In 
1903  he  married  Christena  Stewart,  of  Stratford. 
On  December  31st,  1953,  they  celebrated  their  50th 
Wedding  anniversary  with  an  unbroken  family  circle 
of  a  son,  Duncan  S.  Copus  of  Toronto,  and  two 
daughters,  Mary  (Mrs.  Robert  J.  Thistle  of  Owen 
Sound)  and  Christene  (Mrs.  John  A.  Nornabell,  of 
Peterborough),  and  four  grandchildren,  all  of  whom 
survive  him. 

He  was  buried  from  St.  James  Anglican  Church, 
Stratford,  with  service  being  conducted  by  Vener- 
able Archdeacon  F.  Fwynne  Lightbourne  on  May 
4th,  1960.  There  were  in  attendance,  to  pay  the  last

Grand  Mastejrs  except  two,  who  were  at  a  great 
distance  and  unaware  of  the  funeral,  and  a  large 
company  of  Grand  Lodge  officers  and  friends,  in 
addition  to  his  immediate  family.  Interment  was 
made  in  the  Stratford  Mausoleum.

a  Scholar,  Scientist  and  Educator,  who  made  a  great 
contribution  to  his  day  and  generation  in  his  chosen 
field  of  endeavour.  Having  inherited  the  fine  princi- 
ples of  integrity  and  concentration  on  the  fine  values 
of  life,  he  put  them  into  practice  and  Freemasonry 
has  been  benefited  by  his  devoted  service  in  all 
capacities  through  almost  a  half  century.  We  will 
miss  his  counsel  and  advice  in  this  Grand  Lodge.

ed by  his  mateimal  grandmother,  a  pioneer  from  the

also  a  member  of  the  Royal  Order  of  Scotland  and

of  Manitoba  near  our  Grand  Lodge. 

With  his  wealth  of  experience  in  business  and 
finance,  his  deep  interest  in  the  Craft  and  the 
Scottish  Rite,  he  was  able  to  make  a  great  and  last- 
ing contribution  to  the  prosperity  and  success  of 
these  fraternal  organizations,  in  all  of  which  he  was 
one  of  the  senior  members  and  was  held  in  the  high- 
est respect  and  regard. 

He  died  at  his  home  in  Toronto  of  a  heart  attack 
suddenly  on  Sunday  morning  May  29th,  1960,  and 
was  buried  from  Morley  S.  Bedford  Chapel  after 
service  conducted  by  his  minister,  Rev.  Dr.  John 
Short  of  St.  George's  United  Church,  with  interment 
in  Mount  Pleasant  Cemetery.  He  is  survived  by  his 
widow,  the  former  Anne  Mason. 

It  is  hard  to  believe  that  Charlie  Hamilton  will 
not  be  with  the  brethren  again  in  this  Grand  Lodge. 
He  seemed  to  be  so  vital  and  enduring.  But  he  has 
left  behind  him  the  memory  of  faithful  and  effect- 
ive service  to  Masonry  and  will  long  be  remembered 
for  his  multitude  of  good  works  and  kindly  advice.

50       GRAND    LODGE  OF    CANADA   ANNUAL   COMMUNICATION 

We  extend  our  sincere  sympathy  to  the  Grand 
Lodge  of  Manitoba  in  the  passing  of  Most  Wor.  Bro. 
John  R.  C.  Evans,  Grand  Master  in  1954,  who  died 
July  23rd,  1959.  John  Evans  was  a  great  man  and 
Mason.  He  was  President  of  Brandon  College  in 
Brandon,  Manitoba,  and  was  in  the  midst  of  a  far- 
reaching  programme  of  extension  of  that  College's 
buildings  and  facilities  at  the  time  of  his  death.  He 
was  guest  speaker  at  the  Grand  Master's  dinner  at 
our  Annual  Communication  of  Grand  Lodge  in  Tor- 
onto, July  16th,  1958,  just  about  a  year  before  his 
death,  and  his  address  will  long  be  remembered  by 
those  who  were  privileged  to  hear  it.  He  was  an 
active  member  of  the  Supreme  Council  33°  of  the 
Scottish  Rite  in  Canada  and  a  member  of  the  Royal 
Order  of  Scotland.  He  will  be  greatly  missed  in  the 
field  of  education  in  Canada,  as  well  as  in  Free- 
masonry. 

To  all  those  near  in  kinship  and  affection  to 
these  our  most  respected  and  beloved  brethren  now 
departed,  we  extend  our  sincere  tribute  of  sympathy. 

Now  the  labourer's  task  is  o'er; 
Now  the  battle  day  is  past 
Now  upon  the  farther  shore 
Lands  the  voyagar  at  last. 
Father,  in  Thy  gracious  keeping, 
Leave  we  now  Thy  servants  sleeping.

Grand  Chaplain: 

I  heard  a  voice  from  heaven,  saying  unto  me, 
Write,  from  henceforth  blessed  are  the  dead  which 
die  in  the  Lord :  Even  so,  saith  the  Spirit,  for  they 
rest  from  their  labours.

Hymn — "Breathe  on  me,  Breath  of  God." 

Grand  Chaplain: 

Almighty  and  Eternal  God,  who  art  the  Source 
of  life  and  health,  we  remember  with  thanksgiving 
these  our  brethren,  who,  having  finished  their  course 
on  earth,  have  passed  to  the  Grand  Lodge  Above. 
We  pray  that  their  life  of  service  and  example  of 
faithfulness  may  inspire  us  who  follow  them  to 
greater  and  more  fruitful  service  to  Thv  honour 
and  glory.    Through  Jesus  Christ  our  Lord.    Amen. 

Almighty  God,  with  whom  do  live  the  spirits  of 
them  that  depart  hence  in  the  Lord,  and  with  whom 
the  souls  of  the  faithful  are  in  joy  and  felicity ;  we 
praise  and  magnify  thy  Holy  Name  for  all  thy 
servants  who  have  finished  their  course  and  have 
kept  the  faith ;  and,  committing  our  brethren  to  thy 
gracious  keeping,  we  pray  that  we,  with  them, 
and  with  all  those  that  are  departed  in  the  true 
faith  of  thy  Holy  Name,  may  have  our  consum- 
mation and  bliss,  both  in  bodv  and  soul,  in  thy 
eternal  and  everlasting  glory.  Through  Jesus  Christ 
our  Lord.     Amen. 

Almighty  God,  Father  of  all  mercies,  and  giver 
of  all  comfort;  deal  graciously,  we  pray  thee,  with 
those  who  mourn,  that,  casting  every  care  on  thee, 
they  may  know  the  consolation  of  Thy  love.  Through 
Jesus  Christ  our  Lord.    Amen. 

The  Lord  bless,  and  keep  us ;  the  Lord  lift  up  the 
light  of  His  countenance  upon  us,  and  give  us  peace, 
now  and  for  evermore.    Amen.

with  outstanding  success  and  to  the  gratification  of 
the  brethren  and  the  benefit  of  our  Fraternity.  We

It  was  greatly  appreciated  when  M.W.  Bro.

tions of  this  office  in  the  emergency  and  with  such 
satisfactory  results.

ing been  changed  with  regard  to  the  time  of

waaka  Lodge,  No.  196,  Wor.  Bro.  W.  Glynn

after  his  election  and  installation  as  Worship- 
ful Masten,  he  was  ordered  by  his  firm  to  super- 
vise construction  on  the  East  Coast.  In  view  of 
these  circumstances,  beyond  his  control,  and  his

recommend  that  he  be  granted  the  rank  of  Past

ings of  his  Lodge,  was  two  weeks  short  of  the

given  the  rank  of  Past  Master.

and  his  successor,  a  past  Grand  Lodge  Officer, 
was  installed  for  the  balance  of  the  year  on

Perry  be  granted  the  rank  of  Past  Master 
posthumously. 

11.  Dispensation  having  been  granted  Sunnylea 
Lodge,  No.  664,  to  amend  their  By-laws,  thereby

as  Worshipful  Master  two  weeks  less  than  the 
full  year.  I  recommend  that  he  be  given  the 
rank  of  Past  Master. 


12.  Owing  to  the  very  serious  illness  of  Wor.  Bro. 
Ellery  Ouderkirk's  wife  his  installation  was 
postponed  from  June  24  to  September.  Finch 
Lodge,  No.  557,  now  asks  that  he  be  given 
past  rank.    I  so  recommend.

LODGE  ROOMS  DEDICATED 

There  has  been  an  unusually  large  number  of 
Lodge  Rooms  Dedicated  during  the  past  year,  which 
is  an  evidence  of  the  interest  and  pride  the  brethren 
are  demonstrating  in  improving  the  physical  con- 
ditions of  the  Masonic  premises.  The  assistance  of 
tine  Grand  Lodge  Advisory  Committee  on  Lodge 
Buildings,  with  V.  Wor.  Bro.  George  T.  Evans  as 
Chairman,  is  reflected  in  many  of  the  projects  being 
so  functional  and  attractive  and  the  Jurisdiction  of 
benefiting  from  the  co-operation  which  exists  in 
the  planning  and  execution  of  the  design  of  these 
premises.  The  Especial  Communications  of  Grand 
Lodge  necessary  for  the  carrying  out  of  these  cere- 
monies have  been  well  attended  and  the  brethren 
have  been  present  in  gratifying  numbers.  This  list

receipt  of  a  great  many  invitations  asking  that  our 
Grand  Lodge  be  officially  represented  at  the  Annual

Bodies.  It  has  not  been  possible  for  me,  or  a  rep- 
resentative, to  accept  all  these  kind  offers  of  hospi- 
tality and  share  in  the  opportunities  of  fraternal 
interchange  of  ideals  and  aspirations,  but  all  were 
most  deeply  appreciated.  We  regretted  the  inability 
to  be  present  when  this  proved  impossible  but  we 
hope  next  year  to  be  able  to  attend  those  which  had

TORONTO,    ONTARIO,    1960  63 

Secretary,  at  the  Annual  gathering  of  all  the  Grand 
Masters  and  Grand  Secretaries  on  this  continent, 
together  with  visitors  from  across  the  Atlantic  and 
Pacific  and  from  South  America.  While  some  of  the 
time  is  taken  up  with  meetings  and  particular  con- 
cerns and  activities  of  our  brethren  of  the  U.S.A., 
there  are  also  many  items  in  the  conferences  from 
which  a  great  deal  of  information  and  helpful  dis- 
cussions are  derived  for  the  benefit  of  Masonry  in 
general  and  our  own  attitudes  and  applications  in 
particular.    The  debates  on ; 

"Should  Masonry  adopt  a  more  open  policy  in 
order  that  the  profane  may  know  for  what  it  stands 
and  thus  attract  professional  and  outstanding 
leaders  ?" 

"Should  there  be  Universal  Instruction  of  candi- 
dates after  being  elected  but  before  Initiation?" 

"Should  there  be  developed  a  greater  degree  of 
co-operation  between  Grand  Lodges  and  collateral 
bodies  of  Masonry  ?" 

"Should  Masonry  assume  a  more  aggressive  role 
in  promoting  the  principle  of  separation  of  Church 
and  State?" 

"Should  larger  Lodges  with  good  talent  assist 
the  small  Lodges  with  Degree  Work?" 

While  one  did  not  necessarily  agree  with  the 
affirmative  or  negative  presentations  of  these  sub- 
jects, they  were  all  thought  stimulating. 

The  Grand  Secretaries'  Conference  followed  the 
Grand  Masters'  Conference  on  February  24th  and 
discussed  many  of  the  practical  problems  confront- 
ing the  Grand  Lodge  Offices  and  they  shared  ex- 
periences in  solving  them. 

Excellent  speakers  gave  the  principle  addresses 
to  both  conferences, — Luther  W.  Youngdahl,  United

States  District  Judge,  U.S.  District  Court  for  the 
District  of  Columbia,  at  the  Grand  Masters'  Banquet, 
and  M.W.  Bro.  Raymond  C.  Ellis,  P.G.M.  of  New 
York,  at  the  Grand  Secretaries'  Banquet.  This 
annual  privilege  of  meeting  and  fraternizing  with 
the  leaders  of  Masonry,  speaking  the  English  and 
other  tongues,  is  one  in  which  our  Grand  Lodge 
should  continue  to  participate.  Our  own  Past  Grand 
Master,  Harry  L.  Martyn,  is  a  member  of  the  Com- 
mission on  Information  for  Recognition  and  is 
making  a  valuable  contribution  to  the  Conference. 

VISIT  OF  THE  GRAND  MASTER  OF  THE  GRAND 
LODGE  OF  THE  STATE  OF  ISRAEL 

On  March  23rd,  1960,  M.W.  Bro.  Max  Seligman, 
Grand  Master,  accompanied  by  the  Deputy  Grand 
Master,  R,t.  Wor.  Bro.  Max  Silverstone,  of  the  Grand 
Lodge  of  the  State  of  Israel,  visited  Palestine  Lodge, 
No.  559,  Toronto,  and  both  were  received  and  wel- 
comed on  behalf  of  our  Grand  Lodge  by  our  Deputy 
Grand  Master,  Rt.  Wor.  Bro.  Russell  W.  Treleaven, 
and  our  Grand  Secretary,  Rt.  Wor.  Bro.  E.  G.  Dixon. 
Our  Deputy  Grand  Master  was  the  recipient  of  a 
beautifully  engrossed  Hebrew  Bible  inscribed  by 
M.W.  Bro.  Seligman.  Bro.  Seligman  was  born  in 
Wales  but  now  practises  law  in  Israel.  It  was  my 
pleasure  to  be  entertained  in  the  Parliamentary 
Restaurant  at  Ottawa  by  Bro.  J.  W.  Baskin,  M.P.,  for 
Renfrew  South,  at  a  luncheon  given  to  the  Grand 
Master  of  Israel  and  his  friends  on  the  occasion  of 
their  visit  to  the  Capital.  It  was  also  the  occasion 
of  an  interview  between  Bro.  Seligman  and  the  Prime 
Minister. 

It  was  also  my  great  pleasure  and  privilege  to 
meet  in  Ottawa,  during  their  short  visits  in  the 
Capital  this  year,  Rt.  Wor.  Bro.  Robert  H.  Dickson, 
Provincial  Grand  Secretary  of  the  Provincial  Grand 
Lodge  of  Down  of  the  Ancient  Free  and  Accepted 
Masons  of  Ireland,  who  is  also  the  Grand  Represent- 
ative of  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Manitoba,  and  Rt.  Wor. 
Bro.  T.  Muiir  Wilson,  J.P.,  Provincial  Grand  Master 


TORONTO,   ONTARIO,    1960  65 

of  the  Provincial  Grand  Lodge  of  Ayrshire  of  the 
Grand  Lodge  of  Scotland.  It  was  unfortunate  that 
time  did  not  permit  of  the  exchange  of  further 
Masonic  courtesies  with  these  most  interesting  and 
distinguished  brethren. 

HONORARY  MEMBERSHIP  ON  THE  BOARD 

During  the  year  we  have  lost  two  of  our  Hon- 
orary Members  of  the  Board  by  death,  Rt.  Wor.  Bros. 
Smith  Shaw  and  John  Ness,  and  one  of  our  Honorary 
Members  has  been  elected  Deputy  Grand  Master,  Rt. 
Wor.  Bro.  R.  W.  Treleaven.  I  recommend  that  Rt. 
Wor.  Bro.  George  F.  Clark,  Chairman  of  Benevolence 
since  1953  and  a  member  of  the  Board  since  1948, 
and  Rt.  Wor.  Bro.  John  R.  Rumball,  Chairman  of  the 
Committee  on  Grievances  and  Appeals  since  1951  and 
a  member  of  the  Board  since  1948,  and  Rt.  Wor.  Bro. 
Harry  S.  Johnston,  Chairman  of  Printing  and  Sup- 
plies since  1945  and  a  member  of  the  Board  since 
1941,  be  now  made  Honorary  Members  of  the  Board 
to  fill  the  vacancies. 

GRAND  MASTER'S  BANQUET 

A  very  fine  programme  has  been  arranged  for 
this  evening  in  the  Canadian  Room  of  the  Royal  York 
Hotel,  where  we  hope  to  accommodate  all  the 
brethren  who  wish  to  attend  the  Grand  Master's 
Banquet.  I  am  most  grateful  to  the  Committee  in 
charge  of  these  arrangements,  M.W.  Bro.  Maher, 
M.W.  Bro.  Heam,  M.W.  Bro.  Martyn,  Rt.  Wor.  Bro. 
Dixon,  and  Rt.  Wor.  Bro.  Bailey.  I  am  also  indebted 
to  the  District  Deputy  Grand  Masters  for  their  assist- 
ance to  Rt.  Wor.  Bro.  Bailey  in  the  distribution  of  the 
tickets.  The  guest  speaker,  M.W.  Bro.  Thomas  S. 
Roy,  a  Past  Grand  Master  of  the  Grand  Lodge  of 
Massachusetts,  was  bom  in  Canada  and  has  made  a 
wonderful  contribution  to  his  fellow  men  as  a  preach- 
er and  as  a  Mason.  Those  who  have  been  privileged 
to  hear  him  will  welcome  his  return  to  our  annual 
banquet.

sincerely  grateful  and  thank  all  for  their  many  gifts

While  it  was  necessary  that  I  make  some  of 
these  trips  alone,  I  was  happy  to  have  had  the  com- 
pany, on  ceittain  of  the  longer  motor  trips  of  the 
Grand  Director  of  Ceremonies,  V.W.  Bro.  B.  Lishman, 
and  V.W.  Bro.  J.  R.  McFarland,  Grand  Steward.  In 
addition,  I  am  greatly  indebted  to  many  other  Grand 
Lodge  Officers  for  their  kindness  in  providing  motor 
transportation  to  and  from  meetings. 

DISCIPLINE 

In  the  case  of  Bro.  Robert  Hunt  of  Simcoe  Lodge, 
No.  644,  Toronto,  against  whom  a  charge  of  un- 
masonic  conduct  was  laid,  I  appointed,  on  March  14th, 
1960,  a  Commission  consisting  of  Rt.  Wor.  Bro.  M. 
C.  Hooper,  Chairman,  Rt.  Wor.  Biro.  Roy  Baylis  and 
Bro.  G.  T.  Rogers,  to  enquire  into  the  evidence.  On 
May  20th,  1960,  the  Commission  reported  finding 
Biro.  Hunt  guilty  as  charged  and,  in  accordance  with 
their  recommendation,  I  suspended  Bro.  Hunt  until 
this  Annual  Communication  when  the  Committee  on 
Grievances  and  Appeals  will  report.

RULINGS 

I  recommend  that  the  ruling  of  1933,  under 
Physical  Disability,  (page  158  of  the  Constitution), 
reading:  "A  Lodge  may  not  receive  an  application 
for  initiation  firom  a  man  who  is  totally  blind,"  be 
deleted  .  The  question  of  the  reception  of  an  applic- 
ation from  a  blind  man  will  then  come  under  Section 
181A  whereby  all  physical  imperfections  will  be  dealt 
with  in  the  same  way  and  the  same  procedure  follow- 
ed, leaving  the  final  decision  with  the  Grand  Master 
in  these  exceptional  cases. 

NEW  GRAND  LODGE  OFFICES 

The  work  on  the  new  Remembrance  Memorial 
Building  in  Hamilton  to  contain  the  Administration 
Offices  of  Grand  Lodge,  is  developing  satisfactorily. 
Unfortunately,  progress  was  held  up  for!  some  three 
months  by  a  carpenters'  strike  in  that  city,  so  that 
the  facilities  are  not  yet  available,  but  the  building 
should  be  finished  and  ready  for  occupancy  in  the 
late  fall  of  this  year.  The  entire  building  is  truly  a 
memorial  to  those  who  have,  throughout  the  last  100 
years,  and  more,  contributed  to  the  growth  and 
vitality  of  Freemasonry  in  this  Jurisdiction.  But 
particularly,  will  it  symbolize  our  appreciation  of  the 
debt  we  owe  to  those  members  of  our  Graft  who 
served,  and  who  laid  down  their  lives,  in  the  Great 
Wars,  for  Liberty  and  Freedom,  for,  without  the 
victory,  Masonry  might  well  have  been  suppressed 
in  this  land.  Grand  Lodge  will  occupy  most  of  the 
basement  and  ground  floor,  and,  for  the  present,  the 
second  floor  will  be  available  for  rental  purposes  to 
a  suitable  tenant  or  tenants  to  assist  in  providing 
income  for  its  operation.  In  the  course  of  the  coming 
years,  when  Grand  Lodge  requirements  may  have 
expanded  beyond  the  facilities  now  contemplated,  the 
second  floor  will  be  made  available  without  incurring 
future  capital  expense.  In  the  foyer  leading  to  the 
general  office  of  Grand  Lodge,  therie  will  be  a  suitable 
altar  and  marble  plaque,  flanked  by  the  flags  of  our 
country,  the  whole  area  to  be  flood-lighted  in  per- 


TORONTO.    ONTARIO,    1960  69 

petual  remembrance  of  our  obligation  to  those  who 
have  given  so  much  for  us  to  enjoy  in  our  day. 

As  Grand  Master,  I  have  appointed  Rt.  Wor.  Bro. 
Walter  H.  Gibson,  as  Chairman  of  a  Special  Com- 
mittee to  set  up  a  special  fund  to  affond  an  oppor- 
tunity for  every  brother  and  Lodge  in  the  jurisdic- 
tion to  make  a  voluntary  contribution  to  this  Mem- 
orial. Contributions  may  be  made  either  through 
the  Lodges  or  directly  to  Rt.  Wor.  Bro.  E.  G.  Dixon, 
acting  as  Secretary-Treasurer  of  the  Fund.  At  the 
time  of  writing,  the  reports  indicate  the  great  inter- 
est and  support  of  the  Lodges  and  the  brethren, 
with  approximately  $19,000.  being  already  received. 
It  is  evident  that  this  fund  should  remain  open  until 
the  end  of  the  year,  to  permit  the  completion  of  the 
diligence  of  the  lodge  organizations  presently  in  oper- 
ation, much  of  which  cannot  be  concluded  until  after 
the  summer,  recess. 

I  wish  to  express  my  thanks  for  the  support 
which  this  project  has,  and  will,  receive  from  the 
Craft  in  general  in  response  to  my  letter  to  all  the 
Lodges.  I  am  certain  that  the  generations  of  Masons 
to  come  will  be  proud  of  our  Grand  Lodge  Remem- 
brance Memorial  Building. 

HISTORIC   TROWEL  RETURNS 

On  October  30th,  1848,  at  St.  Catharines,  under 
the  auspices  of  the  Provincial  Grand  Lodge  of  Canada 
West,  Rt.  Wor.  Bro.  Sir  Allan  N.  MacNab,  Provincial 
Grand  Master,  in  an  impressive  ceremony,  laid  the 
corner  stone  of  a  Town  Hall.  He  used  a  silver 
trowel  suitably  engraved  which  was  afterwards 
presented  to  him  by  the  President  of  the  Board  of 
Police.  One  hundred  and  eleven  years  later,  this 
trowel  was  discovered  in  the  antique  department  of 
a  large  departmental  store  in  Perth,  Western  Aus- 
tralia. Through  the  personal  kindness  of  the  Grand 
Secretary  of  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Western  Australia, 
Rt.  Wor:.  Bro.  N.  J.  Munro,  it  was  forwarded  to  our 
Grand  Secretary,  who  arranged  with  His  Worship 
the  Mayor  of  St.  Catharines,  Brio.  Wilfred  R.  Bald, 


70        GRAND    LODGE    OF    CANADA  ANNUAL    COMMUNICATION 

for  a  formal  presentation  of  the  trowel  to  that  City. 
On  March  18th,  1960,  this  presentation  was  perform- 
ed by  ouir  Deputy  Grand  Master,  Rt.  Wor.  Bro.  R. 
W.  Treleaven,  and  our.  Grand  Secretary  in  the 
presence  of  a  large  company  of  the  Civic  authorities 
of  the  City  of  St.  Catharines.  It  will  be  placed  in  the 
Civic  Archives.  This  is  but  another  instance  of  the 
chain  of  Masonic  influence  and  co-operation  which 
binds  us  together  in  mutual  interest  though  on 
different  continents. 

LODGE  FUNCTIONS  ON  SUNDAY 

It  has  been  brought  to  my  attention  that  some 
Lodges  have  'been  using  the  lodge  summons  to  notify 
the  members  of  lodge  functions  to  be  held  on  Sunday. 
Oujr  rulings  state  "No  meetings  can  be  held 
by  a  constituent  Lodge  on  Sunday,  except  for 
the  purpose  of  attending  Divine  Service,  or  for 
performing  the  Funeral  Ceremonies  of  the  Craft". 
(1944).  Masonry  in  our  Jurisdiction  holds  strictly 
to  the  preservation  of  Sunday  as  a  day  of  rest  from 
Masonic  labours  and  no  official  Masonic  work  is 
permitted  on  that  day.  Holding,  on  officially  circul- 
ating a  notice,  of  social  functions  of  the  lodge, 
etc.,  to  foe  held  on  Sunday,  constitutes  a  breach  of 
the  spirit  of  the  existing  ruling  and  should  be  dis- 
continued. This  does  not  interfere  with  the  private 
observance  of  Sunday  by  the  individual,  who  does  not 
thereby  interfere  with  the  freedom  of  others  in  this 
regard,  but  it  does  affect  the  corporate  action  of 
Masons  in  carrying  out  Craft  activities  as  such  on 
Sunday. 

SUSPENSIONS  AND  RESIGNATIONS 

It  will  be  seen,  from  the  Grand  Secretary's 
statistical  repoirt,  that  we  sustained  a  loss  of  869 
members  by  suspension  and  948  by  resignation.  We 
have  had  an  increase  in  our  membership,  notwith- 
standing these  losses,  of  802.  We  have  613  warrant- 
ed lodges  and  3  under  dispensation,  making  a  total 
of  616  lodges  in  this  Jurisdiction.    The  loss  by  death 


TORONTO,   ONTARIO,    1960  71 

is  beyond  our  control  and  will  continue  to  be  heavy 
as  the  age  of  our  membership  increases.    We  cannot 
solicit  membership  fi^m  the  uninitiated.     We  can 
only  recommend  our  Fraternity  to  the  world  by  our 
example  and  by  letting  our  good  works  shine  before 
men  that  they  may  be  seen  and  appreciated  to  the 
Glory  of  the  Great  Architect  of  the  Universe  and  for 
the  benefit  of  our  fellowmen.    However:,  we  can  do 
something  positive  with  regard  to  a  great  number 
of  suspensions  for  non-payment   of   dues   and  for 
resignations  which  are  based  on  the  loss  of  interest 
of  the  member  in  the  activities  of  his  Lodge.     In 
these  strenuous  days  of  so  many  pressing,  and  often 
conflicting,  interests  and  demands  on  a  man's  time 
and  energy,  it  is  not  surprising  that  special  efforts 
must  be   exerted  to  keep  the  active  interest  of  a 
member  who  feels  he  has  no  participating  function  in 
his   lodge's   activities.      Lodge  organization   should 
combat  the  tendency  to  drift  away  from  the  meet- 
ings and  should  furnish  the  personal  interest  which 
will  anchor  the  attention  and  continued  loyalty  of 
both  the  new  and  the  older  member.    No  one  should 
be  suspended  for  N.P.D.  without  first  being  sympa- 
thetically and  personally  interviewed  by  some  of  the 
principal  officers,  or  past  officers,  of  the  Lodge,  and, 
if  the  problem  is  financial,  there  should  be  found 
ways  and  means  of  overcoming  that  difficulty  with- 
out losing  the  member.    If  the  trouble  stems  from 
other  causes,  the  proper  approach  wall  often  renew 
interest  and  understanding  and,  when  the  brother 
finds  he  is  of  importance  to  the   brethren  of  his 
Lodge,  there  should  be  a  definitely  favourable  re- 
sponse on  his  part.     This  matter  calls  for.  a  great 
expenditure  of  time  and  effort  on  the  part  of  the 
enthusiastic  lodge  members  and  the  officers  but  it 
is  truly  Masonic  work   in  a  field  which  will  yield 
practical  rewards.     Where  the  spirit  of  fraternity 
has  died  in  the  member,  it  is  better,  in  most  cases, 
that  he  take  his  demit  rather  than  lapse  into  sus- 
pension.    Let  us  try  to  keep  the  family  within  our 
Lodges  intact.

DIVINE  SERVICES  OF  LODGES  AND  DISTRICTS 

It  is  an  indication  of  the  reverent  spirit  of 
worship  in  the  Craft,  that  I  note  the  prevailing  oc- 
currence of  the  notices  in  the  lodge  summons  of 
Divine  Services  in  the  Churches  of  our  several 
Districts,  either  under  the  auspices  of  the  local  Lodge 
or  of  the  whole  District,  with  the  District  Chaplain 
presiding  over  the  Service  of  Worship.  We  must 
never  forget  that  these  are  occasions  when,  as  a 
corporate  body  of  Masons,  we  come  together  to  make 
evident  our  faith  in  the  Everlasting  God,  to  confess 
our  sins,  and  to  seek  forgiveness,  glorifying  Him  in 
all  His  revelation  of  Himself  in  the  Volume  of  the 
Sacred  Law,  and  to  praise  and  magnify  His  Most 
Holy  Name.  It  is  not  in  the  spirit  of  parading  our- 
selves for  public  attention,  nor  to  detract  from  our 
private  responsibilities  in  the  Church  of  our  choice, 
but,  rather,  as  a  composite  evidence  of  our  adoration 
and  the  need  of  the  blessing  of  the  Most  High  that 
we  do  this  ,and  we  are  strengthened  and  sustained  as 
individuals  and  as  Masons.  We  are  most  grateful 
to  the  ordained  servants  of  God  who  have,  in  their 
capacity  as  Chaplains,  contributed  to  the  spiritual 
health  of  their  brethren. 

HONOURS  RECEIVED  FROM  OTHER 
GRAND  LODGES 

I  acknowledge  with  gratitude  and  humility,  the 
honours  conferred  upon  me  as  your  Grand  Master 
by  sister  Grand  Jurisdictions  and  which  I  will  always 
cherish  as  a  mark  of  fraternal  friendship  and  mutual 
regard.

CONCLUSION 

The  year  since  my  installation  as  your  Grand 
Master  has  sped  by  with  astounding  rapidity.  The 
days  and  nights  have  been  filled  with  a  multitude  of 
duties,  of  which  Masonry  has  had  a  very  large  share. 
It  seems  impossible  to  accomplish  all  one  would  wish, 
yet  one  must  give  thanks  to  Divine  Providence  for 
health  and  strength  to  meet  the  recurring  demands. 
Much  that  I  would  like  to  have  accomplished  must 
be  left  for  the  coming  year,  when  I  hope  to  more 
adequately  meet  the  requirements  of  visitations 
throughout  this  far-flung  Jurisdiction  and  of 
courtesy  visits,  which  it  is  such  a  delight  to  pay,  on 
the  invitations  of  our  sister  Jurisdicions.  It  is  a 
special  regret  that  it  has  not  been  possible  to  visit  the 
Grand  Lodges  of  our  sister  Provinces  of  British 
Columbia,  Alberta,  Saskatchewan,  Manitoba,  New 
Brunswick  and  Nova  Scotia.  Confliction  of  dates, 
and  changes  of  dates,  have  contributed  to  this  un- 
fortunate circumstance  and  the  funeral  of  our  be- 
loved Dean  of  Past  Grand  Masters,  Frank  A.  Copus, 
cancelled  the  intended  visit  to  Winnipeg  at  the  last 
moment.  I  trust  we  will  be  invited  to  visit  these, 
our  close  friends,  before  my  term  expires. 

It  would  not  be  possible  to  enumerate  here  all 
I  owe  to  the  Past  Grand  Masters,  the  Deputy  Grand 
Master,  the  District  Deputy  Grand  Masters  and  other 
officers  of  Grand  Lodge  for  their  loyal  and  efficient 
support  during  the  year.  The  work  of  the  Com- 
mittees has  progressed  smoothly.  Our  work  of 
Benevolence  under  the  supervision  of  Rt.  Wor.  Bro. 
George  J.  McQueen,  has  been  most  effective  and  help- 


74        GRAND    LODGE    OF    CANADA    ANNUAL    COMMUNICATION 

ful,  as  will  be  found  in  the  report  by  Rt.  Wor.  Bro. 
George  F.  Clark.  Our  Treasurer  will  report  the  fin- 
ancial results  of  the  year,  and  the  adjustments 
necessary  to  meet  our  building-  programme  and  pre- 
vailing conditions  in  the  Craft.  The  great  losses  we 
have  sustained  in  the  ranks  of  our  Past  Grand 
Masters  have  been  a  great  blow  to  your  Grand 
Master  in  the  loss  of  friendship,  counsel  and  advice, 
as  well  as  aid  in  carrying  out  the  official  duties  of 
representation.  The  daily  contact  with  the  Grand 
Secretary's  Office  and  the  co-operation  of  the  staff, 
and  that  of  the  Auditor  and  Librarian,  have  made 
the  discharge  of  the  duties  of  Grand  Master  both 
pleasant  and,  I  trust,  efficient.  Rt.  Wor.  Bro.  Dixon 
has  been  an  invaluable  and  constant  source  of  help 
and  his  wide  experience  and  contacts  have  greatly 
eased  the  burden  of  pressing  responsibilities,  have 
facilitated  the  meeting  of  schedules,  and  have  shield- 
ed me  from  attempting  to  perfo'rm  the  impossible  in 
appointments.  For  all  these  individual  and  collect- 
ive contributions  to  the  work  of  Grand  Lodge  during 
the  past  year,  I  pay  my  fullest  measure  of  grateful 
tribute.  And  to  M.  Wor.  Bro.  Harry  L.  Marty n  my 
most  sincere  thanks  are  due  for  his  unfailing  help- 
fulness, his  ready  assistance,  and  experienced  advice. 

We  face,  together,  another  Masonic  year  in  a 
world  terribly  disturbed  and  divided.  Our  gener- 
ation has  known  wars  and  rumours  of  wars  but  to- 
day there  are  the  prospects  of  an  all-out  world  con- 
flagration, with  all  the  potential  of  atomic  warfare 
and  nuclear  weapons  of  such  awful  possibilities  of 
total  annihilation  of  civilization  as  to  stagger  all 
human  imagination.  Yet  we  look  with  confidence  to 
the  overruling  Providence  of  the  Great  Architect  of 
the  Universe,  who  created  all  things  by  the  word  of 
His  power  and  who  will  not  permit  the  creatures  of 
His  creating  to  destroy  the  works  of  His  Creation 
until  His  own  good  time  and  in  His  way.  Masons 
exist  to  be  builders  in  a  free  world  under  God.  We 
have  only  to  fulfill  our  destiny  by  doing  our  daily 
duties  faithfully  in  the  knowledge  given  to  us  of  the 


TORONTO,    ONTARIO,    1960  75 

Fatherhood  of  God  and  His  purpose  that  all  men 
should  be  Brothers.  "Glory  to  God  in  the  highest, 
and  in  eauth  Peace,  Goodwill  toward  men." 

"Lord,  make  me  a  channel  of  your  peace, 

Where  there  is  hatred,  let  me  bring-  love; 

Where  there  is  wrong,  forgiveness, 

Where  there  is  doubt,  let  me  bring  faith ; 

Where  there  is  despair,  hope, 

Where  there  is  darkness,  light, 

Where  there  is  sadness,  let  me  bring  joy. 

Lord,  grant  that  I  may  seek  rather  to 

Comfort  than  to  be  comforted. 

To  understand  than  to  be  understood. 

To  love,  than  to  be  loved. 

For  it  is  by  giving  that  one  receives. 

It  is  by  self-forgetting,  that  one  finds, 

It  is  by  forgiving  that  one  is  forgiven. 

"St.  Francis  of  Assisi"' 

Sincerely  and  fraternally, 

C,  McL.  PITTS, 

Grand  Master.

man  who  is  totally  blind,"  is  deleted.  The  question 
of  the  reception  of  an  application  from  a  blind  man 
will  then  come  under  Section  181A  whereby  all 
physical  imperfections  will  be  dealt  with  in  the  same 
way  and  the  same  procedure  followed,  leaving  the 
final  decision  with  the  Grand  Master  in  these  ex- 
ceptional cases.

At  the  conclusion  of  the  Address  it  was  moved 
by  M.W.  Bro.  H.  L.  Martyn,  seconded  by  M.W.  Bro. 
J.  P.  Maher,  and  carried:  That  a  committee  com- 
posed of  all  the  Past  Grand  Masters  present,  with 
M.W.  Bro.  W.  J.  Dunlop  as  Chairman,  consider  and 
report  to  Grand  Lodge  on  the  Grand  Master's  Ad- 
dress. The  motion  was  put  by  the  Deputy  Grand 
Master. 

REPORT  OF  THE  COMMITTEE  ON  THE 
GRAND  MASTER'S  ADDRESS 

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

Brethren : 


78        GRAND    LODGE    OF   CANADA    ANNUAL   COMMUNICATION 

Traditionally,  the  Grand  Master's  Address  is  the  highlight 
of  any  Annual  Communication  of  Grand  Lodge.  In  it  is  a 
detailed  report  of  his  activities  during  the  year;  and,  usually, 
there  is  a  forecast  of  his  policy  for  his  second  year.  But 
none  of  his  decisions  or  rulings  can  have  the  force  of  Masonic 
law  untii  they  have  been  formally  approved  by  Grand  Lodge. 
That  is  the  reason  for  the  appointment  of  this  Committee  of 
Past  Grand  Masters. 

We  have  all  listened  with  interest  to  the  Introduction  and 
to  the  heart-felt  and  heart-warming  tributes  our  Grand 
Master  paid  to  the  six  distinguished  brethren  who,  during  the 
year,  passed  to  the  Grand  Lodge  Above  and  whose  loss  will 
be  felt  for  many  years  by  all  our  members.  They  were  our 
brethren,  our  co-workers,  and  our  intimate  friends. 

To  the  thirteen  Lodges  (named  in  the  Address)  which 
completed  a  full  century  of  Masonic  activity  we  extend  our 
heartiest  congratulations  with  the  hope  that  they  may  enjoy 
another  hundred  years  of  peace  and  harmony. 

Your  Committee  approves  the  appointments  the  Grand 
Master  made  on  account  of  the  passing  of  two  and  ill-health  of 
a  third  Past  Grand  Master  and  we  also  approve  of  his  actions 
with  regard  to  the  appointment  of  Grand  Representatives. 

Eleven  Masters  were  unable,  for  various  reasons  to  com- 
plete a  full  year  in  office  and  the  Grand  Master  recommends 
the  award  of  Past  Rank.  Your  Committee  approves  of  these 
recommendations.  That  is  a  very  small  number  among  our 
well  over  six  hundred  Lodges. 

It  is  gratifying  to  be  informed  that  three  new  Lodges 
have  received  dispensations  and  have  been  instituted;  also  that 
five  new  Lodges  have  been  constituted  and  consecrated  and 
have  received  their  warrants.  That  is  growth  and  develop- 
ment of  the  best  type.  Another  indication  of  progress  is  the 
fact  that  thirteen  Lodges  have  provided  themselves,  during 
the  year,  with  new  premises.  Within  a  few  years,  perhaps, 
more  of  the  old  "cardiac  halls"  will  give  place  to  more  suitable 
lodge  rooms  which  the  older  brethren  can  easily  reach  without 
climbing  stairs. 

Our  Grand  Master  visited  intensively  and  extensively, 
perhaps  more  than,  for  his  own  good  health,  he  should  have 
undertaken  and  he  was  always  enthusiastically  received  within 
this  Jurisdiction  and  everywhere  else  on  this  continent. 

Your  Committee  approves  of  the  recommendations  the 
Grand  Master  has  made  for  honorary  membership  of  three  of 
our  members  on  the  select  list  of  members  of  the  Board  of 
General  Purposes.  Each  of  these  brethren  has  served  with 
distinction  over  a  long  period  of  years.    We  approve,  also,  of 


TORONTO,    ONTARIO,    1060  79 

his  action  in  the  one  case  of  discipline  and  we  recommend 
adoption  by  Grand  Lodge  of  his  rulings  regarding  petitions 
from  men  who  are  blind.  Of  course,  we  approve  of  the  five 
special  donations  he  authorized. 

It  is  hoped  that  all  members  of  Grand  Lodge  will  give 
special  attention  to  the  Grand  Master's  outline  of  the  develop- 
ments regarding  the  new  Remembrance  Memorial  Building 
which  is  to  house  the  Grand  Lodge  Offices;  and  that  any 
Lodges  that  have  overlooked  his  appeal  will  take  the  proper 
action  as  soon  as  autumn  activities  commence.  It  is  a  project 
which  deserves  the  enthusiastic  support  of  ail. 

Thanks  are  due  the  Grand  Master  for  calling  attention  to 
the  ruling  of  1944  which  states  that  no  lodge  meetings  can  be 
held  on  Sunday  except  for  the  purpose  of  attending  Divine 
Service  or  for  a  funeral  ceremony. 

The  contents  of  one  long  paragraph,  near  the  end  of  the 
Address,  entitled  "Suspensions  and  Resignations"  should  be 
carefully  read  again  and  seriously  considered  by  every  mem- 
ber of  Grand  Lodge.  It  is  gratifying  to  know  that  there  has 
been  a  gain  in  membership  of  802  but  why  should  there  be 
869  suspensions  and  948  resignations  ?  Those  of  you  who  may 
read  the  Fraternal  Correspondence  will  discover  that  our 
Grand  Lodge  has  fared  better  than  have  a  good  many  Grand 
Lodges  in  the  United  States  where  many  report  losses  instead 
of  gains  and  all  deplore  the  numbers  of  suspensions  and  resig- 
nations. What  has  happened?  If  interest  is  declining,  why 
has  it  declined  and  what  is  the  cure?  Have  the  various  new 
and  modern  devices  for  entertainment  taken  away  the  interest 
in  Masonry  ?  The  Grand  Master  makes  some  excellent 
sue-ee?tions  for  prevention  of  losses;  let  us  try  them  in  our 
Lodges. 

The  Address  winds  up  with  commendation  of  Masonic 
Church  Services  and  with  an  eloquent  conclusion.  With  his 
words  of  gratitude  to  the  Grand  Secretary  and  the  other 
Officials  we  all  heartily  agree  and  we  wish  the  Grand  Master 
another  good  year  of  purposeful  activity,  less  strenuous  than 
has  been  the  work  of  his  first  year  in  office.  All  that  he 
has  reported  in  his  Address  is  hereby  confirmed  and  validated 
by  Grand  Lodge. 

With  the  highest  regard,  esteem,  and  affection  for  the 
Grand  Master  this  Report  is  respectfully  and  fraternally  sum- 
mitted  to  Grand  Lodge.

H.  L.  Martyn,  and  W.  J.  Dunlop,  Chairman. 


80       GRAND   LODGE   OF   CANADA   ANNUAL   COMMUNICATION 

On  motion  of  M.W.  Bro.  W.  J.  Dunlop,  seconded 
by  M.W.  Bro.  J.  P.  Maher,  the  report  was  received 
and  adopted. 

PRESENTATION  OF  GRAND 
REPRESENTATIVE'S  JEWEL 

The  Grand  Master  presented  to  M.W.  Bro.  W. 
J.  Dunlop,  Dean  of  our  Past  Grand  Masters,  the 
Grand  Representative's  Jewel  of  the  United  Grand 
Lodge  of  England,  and  congratulated  him  on  his 
appointment.  After  prolonged  applause  had  sub- 
sided M.W.  Bro.  Dunlop  made  a  very  suitable  reply. 

LETTERS  OF   REGRET 

The  Grand  Secretary  advised  that  several  let- 
ters and  communications  had  been  received  from 
Grand  Masters,  distinguished  brethren  and  Grand 
Lodges  extending  most  cordial  fraternal  greetings 
and  best  wishes  and  expressing  regret  that  they 
were  unble  to  be  present  or  represented. 

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  Cere- 
monies. 

AUDITOR'S  REPORT

TORONTO,    ONTARIO,    1960  81 

31st  May,  1960,  and  I  have  verified  the  statements 
submitted  by  the  Grand  Treasurer  showing  the  Re- 
ceipts and  Disbursements  of  the  General  and  the 
Combined  Memorial  and  Semi-Centennial  Funds  for

Treasurer's  Clerk  and  to  the  staff  at  the  office  of 
the  Grand  Secretary  for  their  co-operation  during 
the  audit  procedure. 

All  of  which  is  fraternally  submitted, 

H.  FRANK  VIGEON,  C.A., 

Auditor.

Most  Worshipful  Sir  and  Brethren: 

To  follow  in  the  footsteps  of  the  previous  in- 
cumbent of  this  office  is  no  mean  task.  Since  1941, 
Most  Worshipful  W.  J.  Dunlop  has  been  presenting 
the  Grand  Treasurer's  Report  to  this  Grand  Lodge 
at  each  Annual  Communication,  and  as  many  of  you 
know,  in  a  most  precise  and  competent  manner. 

In  October  of  last  year,  as  a  result  of  indifferent 
health,  our  former  Grand  Treasurer  was  compelled 
to  lighten  some  of  the  responsibilities  which  he 
carried,  and  the  office  of  Grand  Treasurer  was  one 
of  them.    At  the  request  of  our  Grand  Master,  the 


82       GRAND    LODGE   OF    CANADA    ANNUAL  COMMUNICATION 

present  incumbent  was  asked  to  succeed  him  for  the 
balance  of  the  year.  We  note  with  considerable  grati- 
tude that  M.W.  Bro.  Dunlop  is  with  us  today  to  give 
us  as  usual  the  benefits  of  his  many  talents. 

The  format  of  this  presentation  as  in  former 
years  has  been  preserved.  Following  my  brief  re- 
marks there  will  appear  a  Summary  of  Receipts  and 
Disbursements,  together  with  a  list  of  securities  at 
par  value,  of  all  accounts,  as  well  as  a  Summary  of 
Resources  which  I  recommend  to  your  careful  study. 

You  will  be  asked  to  approve  the  following 
donations  sanctioned  by  the  Grand  Master: — 

*Lanark  Relief  Fund   $1,000.00 

Ontario  Cancer  Society  500.00 

Canadian  Health  Fund   500.00 

Canadian  Boy  Scouts  500.00 

Canadian  Girl  Guides  500.00 

Ontario  Crippled  Children 500.00 

Salvation  Army    500.00 


$4,000.00 

*  The  item  for  Lanark  Relief  Fund  for  $1,000.00 
was  approved  upon  the  recommendation  of  M.W. 
H.  L.  Martyn  in  July  of  last  year,  but  was  paid  in 
this  fiscal  year,  and  of  necessity  appears  in  the 
Auditor's  Statement  of  this  year. 

In  order  to  meet  construction  costs  of  the  new 
Grand  Lodge  Memorial  Building  at  Hamilton,  satis- 
factory arrangements  were  concluded  in  August  of 
last  year  with  the  Bank,  to  cover  our  requirements. 
And  in  order  not  to  disturb  our  investment  portfolio 
by  disposing  of  any  securities,  certain  of  them  have 
been  hypothecated  with  the  Bank,  the  loan  to  be 
used  as  required.  For  each  advance  to  Masonic 
Holdings  for  this  building  program,  debentures  have 
been  received  bearing  5%,  a  total  of  $220,000.00 
having  been  issued  up  to  May  31st,  1960. 

A  complete  study  of  our  financing  has  been 
under  review  for  many  months  by  the  Grand  Master, 
the  Deputy   Grand    Master,    and  the   Past    Grand 


TORONTO,    ONTARIO,    1960  83 

Masters,  having  in  view  particularly  the  new  in- 
creased costs  by  way  of  rent  in  the  new  Grand  Lodge 
Memorial  Building  at  Hamilton,  which  will  soon  be 
ready  for  occupancy. 

It  seems  almost  incredible  that  at  our  meeting 
of  the  Grand  East  held  on  April  22nd  when  the 
matter  of  finances  was  discussed  extensively,  two 
of  our  Past  Grand  Masters  who  took  an  active  and 
constructive  part  in  the  formation  of  notices  of 
motion,  which  will  be  presented  to  you  later  on,  will 
not  be  with  us  any  more ;  they  have  been  called  to  a 
higher  reward.  We  will  miss  their  counsel  very 
much. 

Under  Summary  of  Resources,  you  will  find  a 
footnote  stating  that  certain  funds  in  the  General 
Account  are  available  for  benevolent  purposes  only, 
in  accordance  with  Section  245  (m)  of  the  Consti- 
tution. 

This  indicates  that,  under  present  conditions, 
the  proportion  of  dues  provided  under  this  section 
to  be  used  for  benevolent  purposes  only  is  greater 
than  necessary  to  meet  all  such  requirements,  though 
it  might  be  well  to  state  here,  that,  while  our 
benevolent  requirements  are  decreasing,  no  one  has 
been  neglected,  but  many  factors  in  today's  living 
affect  the  declining  needs  of  many  of  our  brethren. 

These  are  some  of  the  reasons  why  a  proposed 
amendment  to  this  Section  of  the  Constitution  is 
being  presented  to  Grand  Lodge  at  this  time  in  ac- 
cordance with  notice  duly  given. 

And  now  as  I  bring  this  report  to  a  close, 
actually  it  has  turned  out  to  be  a  much  longer  report 
than  I  had  intended,  I  want  to  pay  my  personal 
tribute  to  those  who  assisted  me  during  the  past 
nine  months:  the  Grand  Secretary  and  his  staff, 
the  Auditor,  the  Grand  Treasurer's  clerk,  the  Chair- 
man of  Audit  and  Finance,  and  last  but  by  no  means 
least  our  Past  Grand  Masters. 

Respectfully  and  fraternally  submitted, 

J.  A.  HEARN, 

Grand  Treasurer.

GRAND  SECRETARY'S  REPORT 

The  Grand  Secretary  presented  his  report  as 
follows : 

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: 

I  present  herewith  my  twenty-fourth  annual 
report  for  the  year  ended  May  31,  1960,  containing 
a  Summary  of  Receipts  from  various  sources  placed 
in  the  General  Fund;  Details  of  Receipts  in  the 
General  Fund  and  Ledger  Balances  as  at  May  31, 
1959;  a  Summary  of  Receipts  for  the  year;  Details 
of  the  Returns  of  Lodges  as  a,t  May  31,  1959 ;  a 
Summary  of  the  Receipts  and  Payments  to  the  Grand 
Treasurer  on   account   of  the  Memorial  and  Semi- 


92        GRAND   LODGE    OF   CANADA   ANNUAL    COMMUNICATION 

Centennial  Funds;  and  a  Statement  of  the  Receipts 
and  Disbursements  on  the  Memorial  and  Semi- 
centennial Funds  Revenue  Account. 

As  an  appendix  to  the  Proceedings  I  have  re- 
corded the  details  of  the  Returns  of  the  613  warrant- 
ed Lodges  and  the  three  Lodges  under  dispensation, 
as  of  December  31,  1959. 

Again,  and  for  the  eighteenth  year  in  succes- 
sion, I  am  able  to  report  a  net  gain  in  membership, 
this  year  802,  just  38  fewer  than  the  gain  reported 
last  year.  Our  total  membership,  as  of  December 
31,  1959  again  makes  an  all-time  high  of  136,266  and 
as  of  today  we  are  well  over  136,500. 

Deaths,  this  year,  are  fewer  than  last  year  by 
108;  resignations  are  down  76  but  suspensions  are  up 
5.  Against  these  losses  we  show  3,962  initiations, 
down  152;  964  affiliations,  down  47;  209  restor- 
ations, down  31.  Our  losses  by  resignations  and 
suspensions  should  cause  our  lodge  officers  to  give 
careful  thought  to  these  losses.  Perhaps  a  personal 
interview  with  the  member  would  revive  his  interest 
and  prevent  him  from  depriving  himself  of  the 
privileges  of  membership. 

Ag-ain  this  year  we  constituted  and  consecrated 
five  new  Lodges  and  have  three  Lodges  operating- 
under  dispensation  to  give  us  a  total  of  616  Lodges, 
another  all-time  high. 

We  had  hopes  last  year  that  we  would  have 
been  in  our  new  offices  before  now  but  a  lengthy 
strike  has  delayed  occupancy.  We  expect  to  be 
moving  early  this  fall.  M.W.  Bro.  Hearn  will  re- 
port more  fully  on  same.

lectively, I  convey  my  sincerest  thanks.

TORONTO.    ONTARO,    I960  121 

ALGOMA  DISTRICT 

As  the  representative  of  the  Most  Worshipful  the  Grand 
Master  in  Algoma  District,  it  was  my  endeavour  to  perform 
the  duties  of  this  office  in  a  most  sincere  and  diligent 
manner. 

After  careful  consideration,  the  theme,  "Men  of  Faith" 
was  chosen  for  a  subject  to  be  presented  to  the  Masons  of 
Algoma  District.  In  it,  I  endeavored  to  bring  to  the  minds 
of  all  Masons  his  responsibility  in  realizing  to  a  greater 
degree  his  faith  in  his  God,  faith  in  himself,  and  faith  in  his 
fellow  man. 

At  the  official  inspection  of  all  the  Lodges,  the  Master 
and  his  Wardens  were  informed  of  rulings  that  the  Custodian 
of  the  Work  had  given  us  at  the  Annual  Communication  last 
July.  The  officers  concerned  were  most  receptive  to  this 
information  and  will  take  action  where  necessary. 

The  degree  work  and  business  meetings  of  the  Lodges 
are  conducted  in  a  most  proficient  manner  and  all  the  officers 
are  conscious  of  their  responsibilities  and  act  accordingly.  A 
number  of  the  Lodges  in  the  District  request  their  officers 
to  dress  in  formal  attire  which  adds  to  the  dignity  of  the 
work. 

The  financial  condition  of  all  the  Lodges  is  sound.  The 
majority  of  the  lodge  rooms  are  most  attractive  and  worthy 
of  the  degree  work  that  is  being  conducted  in  them.  Two 
Lodges  in  this  District  are  considering  building  new  lodge 
temples. 

The  matter  of  the  disturbing  number  of  suspensions  and 
resignations  of  the  members  of  the  Lodges  in  Ontario  was 
brought  to  the  attention  of  each  Lodge  and  they  were 
requested  to  study  their  own  situation  in  order  that  this 
distressing  matter  could  be  rectified.  In  a  number  of  cases 
Lodges  have  already  started  a  program  to  bring  the  non- 
active  Mason  back  "into  the  fold". 

Two  year  ago  an  idea  was  conceived  where  each 
Lodge  in  the  District  would,  in  turn,  visit  another  Lodge  and 
present  a  paper  on  a  Masonic  subject,  at  the  same  time 
passing  on  to  them  the  "Travelling  Square",  a  tangible  token 
of  their  visit  to  the  Lodge.  It  was  gratifying  to  see  that 
the  Travelling  Square  is  still  travelling,  and  has  created  a 
greater  bond  of  fellowship  between  our  distant  Lodges. 

The  fraternal  visiting  of  Lodges  in  Minnesota,  U.S.A. 
with  those  of  Algoma  District  is  a  most  inspiring  internation- 
al event.  On  October  24th  I  attended  a  meeting  where 
members  of  T.  W.   Hugo  Lodge  of  Duluth,  Minnesota,   and 


122     GRAND    LODGE  OF   CANADA    ANNUAL   COMMUNICATION 

'Grand  Marais  Lodge  of  Grand  Marais,  Minnesota,  were 
entertained.  Among  the  distinguished  visitors  was  the 
Deputy  Grand  Master  of  Minnesota.  Throughout  the  year 
there  were  five  such  exchanges  of  international  fraternal 
visits  between  the  Lakehead  Lodges  and  the  Minnesota 
Lodges.  This  is  becoming  an  annual  event  and  many  inter- 
esting side  lights  have  developed  from  these  exchange  visits. 

Although  at  times,  we,  in  the  north  western  area  of  the 
Province,  feel  far  removed  from  the  more  populated  centre 
of  Masonry  in  Ontario,  these  international  visits,  where 
Lodges  travel  400  miles  to  exchange  fraternal  visits,  and  the 
"Travelling  Square"  which  takes  some  Lodges  600  miles  to 
exchange  Masonic  papers  have  done  much  to  build  an  in- 
vincible bond  of  fellowship  between  our  Lodges,  and  to 
make  them  realize  that  distance  is  no  barrier  in  our  great 
Fraternity. 

To  the  following  I  must  express  my  sincere  appreciation 
for  their  capable  assistance  during  my  term  of  office: — ■ 
Wor.  Bro.  R.  H.  Scowen,  District  Secretary;  Wor.  Bro.  H. 
Hall,  District  Chairman  of  Masonic  Education;  Bro.  Rev.  A. 
F.  Gavrel,  District  Chaplain;  Bro.  Sinclair  Robb,  Chairman  of 
Blood  Donors'  Committee,  and  the  Very  Wor.  Bros.  J.  A. 
Perry,  and  H.  McLellan,  Grand  Stewards. 

It  may  be  interesting  to  note  that  in  performing  the 
duties  of  the  D.D.G.M.  I  travelled  2,700  miles  over  the  ap- 
proximate 19,000  square  mile  area  of  Algoma  District. 

H.  J.  COE,  D.D.G.M. 


BRANT  DISTRICT 

Such  a  wonderful  year!  No  words  of  mine  could  ever 
completely  express  my  feelings  of  joy,  gratitude  and  ap- 
preciation for  the  privilege  of  representing  our  Grand 
Master  for  a  year  in  Brant  District,  and  I  wish  to  express  my 
thanks  to  the  Most  Worshipful  Sir  and  all  those  brethren 
who  made  this  appointment  possible. 

My  love  and  appreciation  of  our  fraternity  had  its  begin- 
ning in  my  earliest  teenage,  when  I  was  deeply  impressed  by 
the  many  kindnesses  shown  to  my  father,  by  his  brethren, 
through  many  years  of  sickness,  and  to  have  served  as 
D.D.G.M.  has  far  exceeded  my  greatest  expectations.  _  I 
sincerely  trust  that  my  endeavours  have  left  some  beneficial 
mark  on  the  history  of  our  Order. 

I  have  been  thoroughly  pleased  to  extend  the  greetings 
of  the  Grand  Master  on  every  possible  occasion.     After  as- 


TORONTO,    ONTARIO,    1960  123 

sociating  with  him,  one  cannot  help  but  feel  that,  if  such 
were  possible,  he  would  delight  in  greeting  every  brother 
personally. 

The  enthusiasm  of  all  the  appointed  District  Officers 
has  been  very  gratifying. 

Wor.  Bro.  C.  A.  Dickinson,  District  Secretary,  accomp- 
anied me  on  my  official  visits  to  all  the  14  Lodges  and  has 
been  untiring  in  his  attention  to  so  many  little  details. 

Bro.  Rev.  F.  A.  Gilbert  of  Balfour  United  Church, 
District  Chaplain,  a  member  of  Milverton  Lodge,  No.  478,  and 
now  residing  in  Brantford,  accompanied  me  on  as  many  oc- 
casions as  his  duties  would  permit,  and  to  him  we  are  in- 
debted for  the  complete  arrangements  for  the  District  Divine 
Service  in  Colborne  Street  United  Church  on  May  1st,  with 
the  participation  of  the  Minister,  Bro.  Rev.  J.  W.  Houston, 
and  W.  Bro.  Rev.  H.  W.  Strapp  in  the  Service,  at  which  the 
Sermon  was  titled  "First  Things  First".  It  was  gratifying 
to  have  the  Fairview  Choir  render  the  Service  of  Music  and 
the  W.  F.  serve  coffee  at  an  hour  of  fellowship  after  the 
Service. 

Wor.  Bro.  L.  Taylor,  District  Chairman  of  Masonic 
Education,  has  been  quite  active-  and  lectured  at  several 
Lodges  in  the  District. 

Wor.  Bro.  M.  G.  Cook,  as  District  Chairman  of  Blood 
Donors,  has  been  quite  persistent  in  his  endeavours  and  while 
the  recorded  number  of  donors  is  not  very  extensive,  the 
increased  publicity  given  in  lodge  notices  and  at  meetings 
must  have  benefited  this  worthy  cause. 

A  wonderful  highlight  in  the  year,  was  to  receive  Most 
Wor.  Bro.  Pitts  at  the  Centennial  Celebration  of  my  Mother 
Lodge,  Doric,  No.  121,  on  December  9th,  and  to  have  held 
the  office  of  D.D.G.M.  on  the  occasion  of  his  visit,  accomp- 
anied by  R.W.  Bro.  E.  G.  Dixon  and  R.W.  Bro.  George 
McQueen,  is  a  memory  I  shall  always  humbly  cherish.  One 
sad  note  however  will  always  be  recalled  by  this  date,  for  on 
that  afternoon  many  of  us,  including  the  Grand  Master,  at- 
tended the  funeral  of  Most  Wor  Bro.  N.  C.  Hart. 

On  May  4,  with  the  assistance  of  Wor.  Bro.  R.  McEwan, 
President  of  the  Masters',  Past  Masters'  and  Wardens'  As- 
sociation, and  R.W.  Bro.  R.  W.  McFadden,  I  was  pleased  to 
conduct  a  District  Lodge  of  Instruction  in  the  Master  Mason 
Degree,  and  such  was  the  intense  interest  shown  by  a  very 
large  number  of  brethren  present,  that  I  regretted  consider- 
ably not  having  arranged  more  Lodges  of  Instruction  earlier 
in  the  year.  My  thanks  I  extend  to  R.W.  Bro.  Dr.  M.  C. 
Cain  for  his  helpful  advice  during  my  visit  to  him  in  Toronto. 


124     GRAND    LODGE    OF   CANADA   ANNUAL   COMMUNICATION 

I  have  been  pleased  to  attend  all  the  Lodge  Divine 
Services  to  date,  eight  in  number,  and  all  have  been  well 
attended.  On  June  12  I  regret  having  had  to  make  the  choice 
between  two  Services,  both  being  held  in  the  evening. 

All  Lodges  but  one  in  the  District  conferred  a  degree  on 
my  visit  of  inspection;  our  Ritual  and  business  on  every  oc- 
casion was  well  conducted,  and  it  is  certain  that  Masonry  in 
our  District  is  in  good  keeping.  I  have  formed  the  opinion, 
however,  from  the  remarks  of  several  comparatively  new 
members,  that  some  definite  insistence  should  be  made  that 
each  Lodge  frequently  provides  a  three  minute  talk  on  some 
little  point  of  Masonic  history  or  interest.  I  feel  that  there 
is  some  definite  reticence  on  the  part  of  many  members,  in- 
cluding Past  Masters,  to  prepare  a  talk  of  any  duration,  and 
I  have  stressed  to  many  of  our  Masters  the  importance  of 
frequent  short  talks. 

May  I  conclude  by  expressing  my  humble  appreciation 
of  the  wonderful  co-operation  and  fellowship  I  have  ex- 
perienced throughout  Brant  District,  and  a  prayer  that  the 
strong  harmony  of  our  District  may  long  continue. 

S.  E.  PAINTER,  D.D.G.M. 


BRUCE  DISTRICT 

As  my  year  as  D.D.G.M.  of  Bruce  District  is  rapidly 
drawing  to  its  close  I  cannot  help  but  feel  humble  and  wish 
to  express  my  gratitude  to  the  Masons  of  Bruce  who  placed 
their  faith  in  me  one  year  ago  in  electing  me  to  represent 
the  Grand  Master  in  their  District  for  the  year  1959-60. 

To  me  it  has  been  a  year  of  wonderful  experience  and 
satisfaction.  Yes,  it  involves  a  great  deal  of  time  and  effort, 
but  everything  worth  while  in  this   world  takes  just  that. 

I  was  very  fortunate  to  have  had  such  a  very  capable 
and  conscientious  District  Secretary  in  the  person  of  Wor. 
Bro.  W.  C.  Scott.  In  the  early  fall  he  was  confined  to 
hospital  for  a  short  period  but  since  his  return  he  has  ac- 
companied me  on  every  official  visit  at  which  time  he  ex- 
amined all  lodge  records  and  found  everything  in  excellent 
condition,  thanks  to  the  capable  lodge  secretaries.  Rev.  Bro. 
Newton  Reid  of  Forest  Lodge,  Chesley,  accepted  the  appoint- 
ment as  District  Chaplain  and  carried  out  his  duties  diligent- 
ly. We  are  looking  forward  to  our  District  Divine  Service 
on  June  12th.  It  is  to  be  held  in  St.  Andrews  Presbyterian 
Church.  Southampton,  and  we  expect  a  turnout  worthy  of 
Bruce  District.  Wor.  Bro.  L.  A.  Smith  ably  served  as  Direct- 
or of  Masonic  Education.     At  our  District  meeting  at  Grand 


TORONTO.    ONTARIO,    1960  125 

Lodge  last  July  it  was  decided  to  appoint  a  District  Treasurer 
and  this  position  has  been  ably  filled  by  Wor.  Bro.  W.  J. 
Saunders.  Both  these  brethren  are  members  of  St.  Lawrence 
Lodge. 

Several  of  the  Lodges  held  Ladies'  Nights  to  which  Mrs. 
De  Long  and  I  were  invited,  and  on  each  occasion  we  were 
warmly  received;  a  splendid  spirit  of  friendship  prevailed 
wherever  we  went. 

St.  Lawrence  Lodge,  No.  131,  is  the  first  Lodge  in  Bruce 
District  to  reach  its  centenary  and  fittingly  celebrated  it 
with  a  Centennial  Lodge  Meeting  on  Friday,  April  8  at  which 
time  members  from  most  Lodges  in  the  District  were  present, 
together  with  many  visitors  from  outside  the  District.  On 
this  occasion  I  had  the  pleasure  of  presenting  Bro.  E.  Boundy 
with  his  Veteran  Jubilee  Medal.  The  members  of  this  Lodge 
looked  splendid  in  their  new  gold  trimmed  regalia  and  were 
warmly  congratulated  by  their  brethren  from  the  other 
District  Lodges.  Quite  a  number  of  presentations  were  made 
to  the  Lodge  on  this  eventful  night. 

On  May  20  Bruce  District  tendered  a  reception  to  the 
Grand  Master  in  combination  with  the  Centennial  Banquet  of 
St.  Lawrence  Lodge.  This  was  held  in  the  Breakers  Hotel  on 
the  shores  of  Lake  Huron  in  Southampton  where  a  bountiful 
dinner  was  served.  Most  Worshipful  Brother  Pitts  gave  a 
very  inspiring  address  which  was  deeply  appreciated  by  all 
present. 

On  Novpmber  3  I  was  pleased  to  accept  the  invitation 
of  R.  Wor.  Bro.  Saxton,  D.D.G.M.  of  North  Huron  District 
to  accompany  him  on  his  official  visit  to  his  Mother  Lodge. 
In  January  R.W.  Bro.  Treble  invited  me  to  attend  Morning 
Star  Lodge  when  his  son  was  being  initiated  into  Masonry. 
On  this  memorable  night  the  chairs  for  the  degree  were  all 
occupied  by  Past  D.D.G.M's.  and  the  lodge  room  was  filled 
to  capacity. 

On  March  28  I  visited  Hanover  Lodge,  No.  432,  and 
witnessed  Wor.  Bro.  F.  J.  Tizzard  receive  with  great  pride 
the  Sixty  Year  Pin  for  his  Veteran  Jubilee  Medal  and  also 
his  Fifty  Year  Past  Masters'  Jewel. 

I  have  been  particularly  pleased  with  the  attendance  at 
all  my  official  visits  to  the  Lodges  and  with  the  respect 
shown  me  as  representative  of  the  Grand  Master.  In  my 
humble  opinion  it  speaks  well  for  Masonry  in  Bruce  District 
and  the  great  respect  they  have  for  the  Grand  Master  and 
Grand  Lodge. 

I  only  hope  that  I  have  been  able  in  some  small  way  to  do 
half  as  much  for  Masonry  in  my  District  as  Masonry  has 


126      GRAND   LODGE  OF    CANADA    ANNUAL    COMMUNICATION 

done  for  me,  particularly  this  past  year.  The  many  new 
friends  I  have  made  and  the  innumerable  kindnesses  shown 
me  will  long  remain  in  my  memory. 

ROSS  A.  DE  LONG,  D.D.G.M. 


CHATHAM  DISTRICT 

The  thrill  experienced  on  the  15th  of  July,  1959,  when 
I  was  elected  to  represent  Most  Worshipful  Brother  C.  McL. 
Pitts  in  Chatham  District,  has  continued  throughout  my  year. 
Being  District  Deputy  Grand  Master  is  an  honour,  a  pleasure 
and  a  responsibility.  I  have  enjoyed  the  honour  and  have 
tried  to  merit  the  confidence  of  the  brethren  in  Chatham 
District  by  assuming  the  various  responsibilities  to  the  best 
of  my  ability. 

I  was  accompanied  on  all  my  visits  by  Wor.  Bro.  Geoi'ge 
W.  Webb,  the  District  Secretary,  who  reported  favourably 
on  the  records  of  fourteen  Lodges.  There  are  fifteen  Lodges 
in  the  District  and,  therefore,  it  is  my  unpleasant  duty  to 
report  that  the  books,  records  and  monies  of  the  Treasurer 
of  Hammond  Lodge,  No.  327,  during  1959  were  carelessly 
handled. 

It  was  a  pleasure  to  have  Bro.  Rev.  David  W.  Williams 
as  the  District  Chaplain,  and  Wor.  Bro.  John  M.  Burnett  as 
the  Supervisor  of  Masonic  Education.  Masonic  Education 
has  played  an  important  part  in  the  programme  of  the  Lodges 
in  Chatham  District  and  the  interest  in  this  regard  reflects 
great  credit  on  the  efforts  of  the  Grand  Lodge  Committee  on 
Masonic  Education  under  the  chairmanship  of  Rt.  Wor.  Bro. 
B.  B.  Foster. 

There  appears  to  be  an  earnest  desire  on  the  part  of  all 
Lodges  in  the  District  to  foster  and  encourage  the  best  and 
highest  standards  in  the  exemplification  of  the  Work  in  the 
several  degrees  and  I  was  generally  impressed  with  the 
sincerity  of  the  work. 

On  Saturday,  November  14,  I  assisted  M.  Wor.  Bro. 
Nelson  C.  Hart  in  the  Dedication  of  the  New  Temple  of 
Lome  Lodge,  No.  282,  Glencoe. 

My  wife  and  I  will  be  forever  grateful  for  the  kind 
hospitality  we  received  as  honoured  guests  at  several  Ladies' 
Nights.  Another  evening  that  will  be  long  remembered  was 
the  banquet  and  reception  held  to  honour  Most  Worshipful 
Brother  Pitts  in  Windsor  on  Tuesday,  March  29. 

Our  District  Divine  Service  was  held  in  Trinity  United 
Church,  Wallaceburg,  on  Sunday,  May  29.     Over  350  Masons 


TORONTO,    ONTARIO,    1960  127 

attended  together  with  another  150  Masons'  wives,  children 
and  friends.  Bro.  Rev.  Harry  M.  Denning,  B.A.,  B.D.,  of 
St.  Andrew's  United  Church,  Chatham,  delivered  an  inspiring 
sermon  on  "Perception".  I  was  assisted  by  Bro.  Rev.  W.  G. 
Wylie,  Rt.  Wor.  Bro.  B.  B.  Foster,  Rt.  Wor.  Bro.  J.  H, 
Burnett  and  Very  Wor.  Bro.  Verne  W.  Nurse.  A  Masonic 
Choir,  consisting  of  thirty  male  voices,  enriched  this  special 
occasion.  The  turn-out  was,  by  far,  the  largest  Masonic 
Parade  in  Wallaceburg's  history.  My  thanks  to  all  those 
who  participated  and  attended. 

H.  B.  SANDS,  D.D.G.M. 

EASTERN  DISTRICT 

It  has  been  a  very  pleasant  and  rewarding  experience, 
during  the  past  year,  making  official  visits  throughout  the 
Eastern  District  and  enjoying  the  friendship  and  cordiality 
of  the  brethren.  To  the  Wor.  Masters,  Officers  and  members 
of  the  Lodges  who  made  it  so  I  express  my  gratitude. 

Before  commencing  the  term  as  District  Deputy  Grand 
Master  I  attended  a  class  of  instruction  held  in  the  Masonic 
Temple,  Brockville.  Here  duties  pertaining  to  the  office  and 
instructions  were  given  by  the  Custodian  of  the  Work,  Most 
Wor.  Bro.  Martyn.  I  wish  to  sincerely  thank  him  for  the 
valuable  assistance  received  and  to  humbly  offer  him  my 
congratulations  for  adopting  this  procedure. 

I  appointed  Wor.  Bro.  D.  J.  Mackintosh,  District  Secre- 
tary, and  Bro.  Rev.  John  W.  Bell,  District  Chaplain.  These 
brethren,  whenever  possible,  accompanied  me  on  my  official 
visits  and  their  support  has  been  greatly  appreciated. 

I  officially  visited  each  of  the  nineteen  Lodges  of  the 
District  at  least  once  and  the  excellence  of  the  work  was 
quite  impressive.  It  was  pleasant  and  encouraging  to  be 
accompanied  on  practically  all  these  visits  by  past  and 
present  Grand  Lodge  officers. 

Eastern  District  was  greatly  honoured  by  having  three 
official  visits  from  the  Grand  Master.  He  visited  Hawkes- 
bury,  his  mother  lodge,  and  presented  Very  Wor.  Bro.  A.  P. 
Rutherford  with  regalia  as  Grand  Superintendent  of  Works. 
He  was  officially  received  by  Cornwall  Lodge,  No.  125,  at 
their  Centennial  Anniversary,  given  honourary  membership 
and  registered  as  their  one  thousandth  member,  Later,  at -a 
banquet  as  guest  speaker,  he  delivered  an  eloquent  address 
which  was  much  appreciated.  He  officially  presided  at  the 
dedication  ceremony  of  the  beautiful  new  temple  of  Farran- 
Ault  Lodge,  No.  256,  at  Ingleside.  Here  again  at  the  banquet 
he  gave  a  very  inspiring  address  and  was  ably  supported  by 


128      GRAND    LODGE    OF    CANADA    ANNUAL    COMMUNICATION 

the  Assistant  Grand  Secretary  and  Supervisor  of  Benevolence, 
R.W.  Bro.  McQueen. 

Eastern  District  was  further  honoured  in  having  Rt.  Wor. 
Bro.  B.  B.  Foster,  Chairman  of  the  Grand  Lodge  Committee 
on  Masonic  Education,  as  guest  speaker  at  the  annual  banquet 
of  the  Past  Masters'  and  Wardens'  Association  in  Cornwall. 
It  was  generally  conceded  that  the  Masonic  Education  pro- 
gramme benefited  greatly  by  this  visit  and  very  instructive 
address. 

A  number  of  the  Lodges  held  Divine  Service  all  of  which 
were  very  well  attended.  The  District  Divine  Service  was 
held  on  May  29th,  in  Knox  Presbyterian  Church,  Vankleek 
Hill,  over  four  hundred  being  present,  representing  nearly 
all  the  Lodges  and  many  from  outside  the  District.  The 
Service  was  conducted  by  the  District  Chaplain,  Bro.  Rev. 
John  W.  Bell,  assisted  by  the  Assistant  Grand  Chaplain  Very 
Wor.  Bro.  Robertson  Millar,  with  Wor.  Bro.  Wm.  Pettit  as 
Organist  and  Choir  Director. 

May  I  close  my  report  of  this  years'  activities  in  Eastern 
District  by  expressing  my  sincere  appreciation  to  all  the 
brethren  who  so  ably  assisted  me. 

D.  S.  MacPHEE,  D.D.G.M. 


FRONTENAC  DISTRICT 

Tt  has  been  a  pleasure  and  an  honour  for  me  to  have 
served  as  D.D.G.M.  of  Frontenac  District,  during  the  past 
year. 

I  consider  that  I  was  particularly  fortunate  in  my  choice 
of  District  Officers,  in  the  following;  District  Secretary,  W. 
Bro.  Francis  T.  Welbanks;  District  Chaplain,  Bro.  Rev.  H.  C. 
Seeker;  Director  of  Masonic  Education,  R.W.  Bro.  T.  J. 
Donnelly;  and  Bro.  Leonard  E.  Ede  as  District  Chairman  of 
the  Blood  Donors'  Committee.  These  brethren  have  been 
very  faithful  in  accompanying  me  on  almost  all  of  my 
official  visits. 

Living  as  I  do  on  Amherst  Island,  which  is  separated 
from  the  mainland  by  three  miles  of  water,  perhaps  no  other 
D.D.G.M.  has  ever  had  to  use  such  diversity  of  means  of 
transportation.  With  no  ferry  service  at  nights,  it  was 
necessary  to  use  a  motor  launch  on  many  occasions  and  when 
the  ice  formed  it  became  even  more  treacherous  and  un- 
certain. However  I  was  able  to  make  all  of  my  scheduled 
official  visits  to  the  18  Lodges  within  the  District,  and  on 
each  occasion  it  was  a  joy  and  a  pleasure  to  be  received  so 
hospitably. 


TORONTO,    ONTARIO,    1960  129 

On  the  majority  of  my  visits,  degree  work  was  ex- 
emplified by  the  Lodges  in  a  very  capable  manner,  and  I  am 
pleased  to  report  that,  throughout  the  District,  the  Lodges 
are  very  fortunate  to  have  a  group  of  capable  and  enthusi- 
astic officers,  who  are  upholding  the  highest  traditions  of 
Masonry.  One  or  two  of  the  Lodges  seem  to  be  having 
difficulty  in  attracting  candidates,  a  condition  which,  I  hope, 
will  not  be  of  Jong  duration.  During  all  of  my  visits  I  tried 
to  emphasize  the  necessity  of  having  some  form  of  Masonic 
Education  and  the  desirability  of  inter-lodge  visits,  as  well 
as  trying  to  impress  upon  the  Lodges  the  importance  of  pro- 
tecting their  buildings  adequately  with  insurance  and  of  pro- 
viding themselves  with  some  place  of  safekeeping  for  their 
records  which  are  irreplaceable.  I  was  very  much  impressed 
with  the  very  fine  lodge  premises  with  which  our  Lodges  have 
provided  themselves  and  also  that  the  majority  of  these  are 
owned  by  the  Lodges.  This  reflects  the  spirit  of  devotion 
and  sacrifice,  which  has  pervaded  the  membership  of  these 
Lodges. 

One  of  the  highlights  of  my  year  was  the  celebration  of 
the  100th  anniversary  of  the  institution  of  my  Mother  Lodge, 
Maple  Leaf,  No.  119,  Bath,  and  it  was  a  pleasure  and  privilege 
for  me  to  be  asked  to  present  the  officers  of  the  Lodge  with 
the  new  gold  trimmed  regalia,  at  which  time  I  attempted 
to  give  a  bit  of  the  historical  background  of  this  grand  old 
institution,  which  for  so  long  has  had  the  reputation  of  being 
located  in  the  very  "cradle  of  Masonry".  I  certainly  owe  a 
debt  of  gratitude  to  my  fellow  members  from  Maple  Leaf 
Lodge  who  so  conscientiously  supported  me  by  their  attend- 
ance on  my  visits.  I  shall  never  forget  that  some  of  these 
members  never  missed  one  of  the  visits  and  the  moral 
support  given  me  in  this  way  was  most  gratifying. 

One  of  the  sad  happenings  of  the  Masonic  year  in  this 
District  was  the  untimely  passing  to  the  Grand  Lodge  Above, 
of  M.  Wor.  Bro.  John  A.  McEae,  who  served  as  Grand  Master 
in  1941-43.  M.W.  Bro.  McRae  has  long  been  a  tower  of 
strength  to  Masonry  in  this  District  as  well  as  to  Grand 
Lodge.  He  was  a  guide  and  a  counsellor  and  his  distinguished 
scholastic  career,  coupled  with  his  devotion  to  his  church  and 
his  service  to  his  community,  should  long  be  an  inspiration 
to  us.  The  loss  of  three  other  Past  Grand  Masters,  during 
this  year,  has  been  most  depressing. 

The  highlight  of  our  year  was  the  official  visit  to  this 
District  of  the  Grand  Master,  M.W.  Bro.  C.  M.  Pitts,  who 
was  received  in  the  traditional  "Frontenac  District  Manner", 
in  open  Lodge,  in  the  Masonic  Temple,  Kingston,  where  Royal 
Edward,  No.  585,  was  the  host  Lodge.  The  large  represent- 
ation from  the  Lodges  throughout  the  District,  as  well  as  the 
neighbouring  districts,  bore  testimony  of  the  high  esteem  in 
which  M.W.  Bro.  Pitts  is  held  in  this  District,  where  he  is  no 


130     GRAND    LODGE  OF  CANADA    ANNUAL   COMMUNICATION 

stranger  and  of  the  degree  of  pride  felt  in  having  a  Mason 
from  the  Eastern  section  of  our  Grand  jurisdiction  as  our 
Grand  Master.  We  were  also  honoured  to  have,  accompanying 
M.W.  Bro.  Pitts,  V.  W.  Bro.  B.  Lishman,  Grand  Director  of 
Ceremonies,  R.W.  Bro.  Earl  McKeever,  Grand  Registrar,  as 
well  as  numerous  Grand  Stewards. 

My  wife  and  I,  as  well  as  the  District  Secretary  and  his 
wife,  appreciate  the  numerous  invitations  received  to  join 
the  Lodges  at  their  "Ladies'  Nights''  and,  while  we  were  not 
able  to  attend  all  of  these,  we  certainly  did  enjoy  the  "Super 
Hospitality"  extended  to  us  when  we  were  able  to  be  present. 

I  attended  a  number  of  the  Church  Services,  held  by  the 
various  Lodges  within  the  District,  as  well  as  some  of  those 
in  the  neighbouring  Districts  of  St.  Lawrence  and  Prince 
Edward.  While  I  write  this,  we  are  looking  forward  to  our 
own  District  Service  to  be  held  on  Sunday  next  in  St.  Luke's 
Church,  Kingston,  arranged  by  the  District  Chaplain,  at  which 
the  Grand  Chaplain,  Rev.  M.  G.  B.  Williams  will  be  the  guest 
speaker. 

Finally,  while  I  have  had  a  busy  year,  the  wonderful 
co-operation  and  support  given  me  by  everyone  with  whom 
I  associated  and  especially  by  the  Past  D.D.G.M's.  have  assist- 
ed me  materially,  and  I  extend  my  sincere  thanks  for  the 
privilege  of  serving  this  District  during  the  year. 

A.  BRUCE  CAUGHEY,  D.D.G.M. 
GEORGIAN  DISTRICT 

It  is  not  only  as  a  duty,  but  also  as  a  pleasure  that  I 
submit  to  you,  Most  Worshipful  Sir,  my  report  for  your  con- 
sideration. 

I  am  indeed  grateful  to  my  brethren  of  Seven  Star 
Lodge,  No.  285,  for  having  proposed  my  name  for  this  office, 
and  I,  too,  express  my  gratitude  to  the  brethren  of  Georgian 
District  for  electing  me  by  acclamation,  and  to  you,  Most 
Worshipful  Sir,  for  the  confirmation  of  my  election. 

It  pleased  me  to  appoint  as  my  District  Secretary,  a 
most  capable  and  active  Past  Master  of  my  own  Lodge,  Wor. 
Bro.  C.  Grant  Awbury.  Wor.  Bro.  Awbury  accompanied  me 
on  all,  except  one,  of  my  official  visits.  His  willing  assistance 
and  assiduity  to  the  duties  of  his  office  most  assuredly  light- 
ened my  duties.  Brother,  the  Reverend,  J.  P.  Gordon,  of 
Manito,  No.  90,  proved  my  choice  of  District  Chaplain  to  be 
a  popular  one.  He,  too,  accompanied  me  on  all  but  one  of 
my  official  visits  and  endeared  himself  to  all  who  met  him. 
I  feel  that  he  enriched  that  cement  which  binds  us  all  to- 
gether in  our  fraternity. 


TORONTO,    ONTARIO,    1960  131 

Early  in  my  year  I  appointed  Wor.  Bro.  Gordon  Mallion 
of  Tottenham  Lodge  and  President  of  Georgian  District 
Masonic  Officers'  Association,  as  the  District  Director  for 
Masonic  Education.  Being  aware  of  his  unbounded  energies 
in  Masonic  endeavours,  my  choice  was  easy  to  make. 

Once  again  our  Officers'  Association  is  being  rejuvinated 
under  Wor.  Bro.  Mallion  and  certain  advances  were  made  in 
the  field  of  Masonic  Education.  Wor.  Bro.  Mallion,  assisted 
by  R.  Wor.  Bro.  Shannon,  formed  and  directed  a  Senior 
Wardens'  Degree  Team,  as  well  as  a  panel  of  well-skilled 
Masonic  speakers.  The  services  of  the  Team  and  speakers 
are  available  to  the  various  Lodges  upon  request.  Enquiries 
and  reports  from  several  Lodges  indicate  that  in  most  in- 
stances Masonic  Education  takes  its  rightful  place  in  the 
lodge  agendas. 

In  December,  1959,  I  was  requested  by  R.  Wor.  Bro. 
Shannon  to  appoint  a  Director  for  the  Masonic  Blood  Donors' 
Clinic,  held  in  Barrie,  27th  January,  1960.  I  am  indeed  grate- 
ful to  Wor.  Bro.  J.  M.  Heslip,  of  Nitetis  Lodge,  Creemore,  for 
his  very  fine  efforts  and  the  capable  manner  in  which  he 
administered  this  project. 

I  visited  each  of  the  twenty  Lodges  at  least  once  and  I 
was  received  with  wirm  hocm>nli+v  nnd  in  the  true  Masonic 
manner.  I  witnessed  each  of  the  three  degrees  conferred  and 
it  was  apparent  to  me  that  Lodges  are  exercising  due  caution 
in  the  selection  of  candidates.  Several  Lodges  allocate  the 
work  in  such  a  manner  that  by  the  time  an  Officer  reaches  the 
Master's  chair  he  will  have  a  commanding  knowledge  of  the 
ritual.  The  work  in  most  Lodges  was  of  a  high  calibre  and, 
when  I  deemed  i*  necessary  to  criticize,  my  observations  were 
received  in  the  manner  in  which  they  were  offered.  It  was 
with  pleasure  I  noticed  many  young  Masons  at  work. 

The  majority  of  the  Lodges  are  sound  financially  and 
those  that  might  be  considered  shaky  are  taking  the  necessary 
action  to  strengthen  their  positions. 

On  15th  May,  1960,  at  3  p.m.  a  District  Divine  Service 
was  held  for  the  brethren  and  their  families  in  the  Holy 
Trinity  Chapel,  Camp  Borden.  It  pleased  me  to  see  that 
almost  400  attended  this  Service.  The  Grand  Chaplain 
ministered  to  many  veterans  of  the  two  World  Wars,  who 
were  pleased  to  worship  together  and  be  able  to  once  again 
view  their  old  training  grounds.  As  indicated  in  the  sum- 
mons, Lodges  of  this  District  also  hold  their  own  Annual 
Divine  Services. 

Amid  all  the  happiness  that  abounds  in  Georgian 
District  in  general,  Caledonian  and  Orillia  Lodges  in  partic- 


132      GRAND   LODGE   OF   CANADA  ANNUAL   COMMUNICATION 

ular  suffered  severe  losses,  in  the  passing  of  R.  Wor.  Bro. 
George  F.  Dudley  and  Wor.  Bro.  Thomas  Sansom. 

In  conclusion,  I  express  to  all  brethren  of  the  District 
my  sincere  thanks  for  their  loyal  support,  and  on  behalf  of 
my  successor  I  solicit  the  same  fine  support  extended  to  me. 

ROBERT  N.  WALKER,  D.D.G.M. 


GREY  DISTRICT 

This  report  brings  to  a  close  my  most  interesting, 
pleasurable  and  inspiring  year  in  Masonry.  As  the  year  ends 
I  have  many  very  pleasant  memories  of  the  evenings  spent 
on  my  official  visits  to  the  twelve  Lodges  in  Grey  District. 
No  one  could  ask  for  a  better  reception  than  was  accorded 
me  on  these  occasions.  The  friendly  greetings,  the  fraternal 
atmosphere  and  the  bon  voyage  can  not  help  but  strengthen 
the  knowledge  that  Masonry  is  flourishing. 

If  my  year  as  District  Deputy  Grand  Master  has  been  a 
successful  one,  and  I  trust  that  it  has,  it  was  in  no  small 
measure  due  to  the  assistance  I  received  from  Wor.  Bro.  Joe 
Greenwood  as  District  Secretary.  His  duties  were  carried 
out  with  the  utmost  skill  and  devotion.  Wor.  Bro.  Crawford 
Curtis  was  appointed  District  Chairman  of  Masonic  Education. 
During-  the  year  he  stressed  the  value  of  Masonic  instruction 
in  each  Lodge.  On  April  8th  a  Lodge  of  Instruction  was  held 
at  which  Rt.  Wor.  Bro.  Frank  Shannon  of  Barrie  supervised 
the  work  exemplified.  Anyone  who  attended  this  meeting 
could  not  help  but  feel  that  although  we  strive  for  perfection 
in  our  ritual  expert  advice  is  of  invaluable  assistance  in 
helping  to  maintain  a  high  standard. 

Bro.,  Rev.  J.  M.  Dobson  accepted  the  appointment  of 
District  Chaplain.  He  conducted  the  District  Divine  Service 
held  in  St.  Paul's  Church,  Shelburne,  on  June  12th  at  which 
there  was  a  good  attendance. 

When  I  took  office  in  1959  I  had  high  hopes  of  forming 
a  Masters',  Wardens'  and  Past  Masters'  Association  for  our 
District.  A  district  meeting  was  called  at  which  time  the 
subject  was  thoroughly  discussed.  It  was  felt  that  the 
matter  should  be  presented  to  each  Lodge  and  further  dis- 
cussed before  a  final  decision  was  reached.  To  this  end  a 
letter  was  sent  to  all  Lodges  explaining  the  purpose  and 
scope  of  such  an  association.  Each  Lodge  was  requested 
to  come  to  the  District  Meeting  at  Grand  Lodge  prepared  to 
vote  on  the  matter.  Having  progressed  thus  far  I  can  only 
hope  that  my  successor  may  carry  the  matter  to  completion 
to  the  satisfaction  of  all  concerned. 


TORONTO,   ONTARIO,    1960  133 

Blood  Donor  clinics  were  held  in  several  communities 
throughout  the  District.  The  brethren  were  urged  to  avail 
themselves  of  the  opportunity  to  take  part  in  this  humani- 
tarian work. 

The  highlight  of  my  year  as  D.D.G.M.  came  on  May  19th 
with  the  official  visit  of  Most  Worshipful  Grand  Master 
Clarence  McLeod  Pitts  to  the  District.  This  was  combined 
with  the  Centennial  celebration  of  Pythagoras  Lodge,  No. 
137,  Meaford.  A  very  delicious  banquet  was  enjoyed  at  which 
Grand  Master  Pitts  was  the  guest  speaker. 

My  duties  during  the  year  were  lightened  to  no  small 
degree  by  the  assistance  of  my  immediate  predecessor  Rt. 
Wor.  Bro.  Ran  Brady  as  well  as  Rt.  Wor.  Bro.  Sudden  and 
other  Past  District  Deputies  of  the  District.  They,  at  all 
times,  were  willing  to  give  of  their  experience  and  help  in 
every  way  possible  to  make  my  term  of  office  more  pleasant. 

During  the  year  Grev  District  suffered  a  severe  loss 
with  the  passing  of  Very  Wor.  Bro.  Morley  Wright.  Morley, 
as  he  was  known  to  everyone,  wa?  a  cornerstone  in  the  build- 
ing of  Masonry  and  in  spreading  its  gospel  wherever  he  went. 
The  fact  that  over  300  Masons  attended  a  Masonic  Service 
in  Mount  Forest  from  Grey  District  as  well  as  Wellington, 
where  he  was  also  a  member,  attest  to  the  esteem  with  which 
he  was  held. 

Masonry  in  this  District  is  progressing  with  the  times  as 
evidenced  by  the  plans  of  two  Lodges,  Arthur  and  Mount 
Forest  to  erect  new  temples.  Other  Lodges  also  have  tent- 
ative preparations  for  the  provision  of  new  accomodation. 
From  the  efficiency  of  the  Lodge  Secretaries  and  the  skill 
of  the  Masters  T  have  no  hesitation  in  saying  that  Masonry 
is  in  good  condition  throughout  Grey  District. 

As  my  term  of  office  grows  to  a  close  may  I  record  my 
heartfelt  thanks  for  the  honour  accorded  me.  I  trust  my 
stewardship  has  proved  worthy  of  your  confidence. 

BRUCE  R.  R.  FIFE,  D.D.G.M. 


HAMILTON  DISTRICT  "A" 

Tt  is  my  privilege  to  submit  herewith  my  report  as 
District  Deputy  Grand  Master  of  Hamilton  District  "A"  for 
the  past  year. 

The  19  Lodges  in  the  District  were  officially  inspected,  a 
degree  being  witnessed  at  each  meeting.  As  is  customary  in 
this  District,  I  was  accompanied  on  each  visit  by  another 
Lodge   of   District   "A".     I   found   that  lodge  business  was 


134      GRAND    LODGE   OF    CANADA    ANNUAL    COMMUNICATION 

being  handled  expeditiously,  allowing  the  visiting  Lodge  and 
myself  to  be  received  at  an  early  hour.  The  work  was 
uniformly  good,  the  Master  being  assisted  by  many  of  the 
younger  members  as  well  as  by  Past  Masters  and  Officers. 
The  sincerity  of  those  taking  part  contributed  to  impressive 
degrees  which  were  fully  appreciated  by  the  candidates. 

Early  in  September  a  meeting  with  the  Masters  and 
Wardens  was  held  at  which  their  co-operation  was  requested, 
an  outline  of  what  was  expected  of  them  given,  details  of 
procedure  discussed  and  emphasis  placed  on  the  undesir- 
ability  of  unduly  prolonged  and  late  meetings.  I  am  happy 
to  report  that  I  received  the  utmost  co-operation,  the  major- 
ity of  the  meetings  ending  by  11.15  p.m.  and  no  meeting  later 
than  11.30  p.m. 

The  District  Secretary,  Wor.  Bro.  C.  Christopher  Piercy, 
inspected  the  records  of  each  Lodge,  reported  that  he  had 
received  every  assistance  from  the  Secretaries,  that  books, 
records  and  registers  were  carefully  and  neatly  kept,  and 
that  the  financial  position  of  each  Lodge  appeared  to  be 
sound.  Lodge  reports  show  suspensions  for  non-payment 
of  dues  low,  no  suspensions  for  other  causes,  benevolent 
assistance  granted  wherever  need  was  shown  and  a  general 
increase  in  membership. 

A  very  successful  Lodge  of  Instruction  on  the  ceremony 
of  Installation  was  held  on  November  24th  in  Burlington 
Lodge,  with  Most  Wor.  Bro.  H.  L.  Martyn,  Custodian,  in 
attendance.  The  lodge  room  was  completely  filled  with 
representatives  of  all  Lodges  in  the  Hamilton  Districts  and 
some  from  outside  Districts. 

I  earnestly  recommend  that  a  Lodge  of  Instruction  on 
some  phase  of  the  Work  be  held  each  year  in  the  District. 
While  the  ritual  and  ceremonies  are  not  Masonry  but  are 
only  the  means  by  which  its  lessons  are  taught,  deviations  do 
creep  in,  and  unless  periodically  corrected,  the  lessons  may 
be  lost  or  changed. 

During  the  year  the  District  was  well  served  by  Bro. 
the  Rev.  A.  Lome  MacKay,  B.A.,  B.D.  as  District  Chaplain, 
Rt.  Wor.  Bro.  W.  L.  Sommerville,  P.D.D.G.M.  as  Supervisor 
of  Masonic  Education  and  Wor.  Bro.  Fred  Scott  as  Chairman 
of  the  Blood  Donors'  Committee. 

Three  well-attended  and  interesting  District  Meetings 
were  held  on  Masonic  Education  with  many  members  partici- 
pating in  the  programs.  The  Secretaries  of  Districts  "A" 
and  "B"  Lodges  held  a  very  productive  meeting  to  discuss 
procedures,  interpretations  and  to  exchange  experiences. 


TORONTO,    ONTARIO,    1960  135 

All  Lodges  were  approached  concerning'  the  Remembrance 
Memorial  Fund  and  have  taken  action. 

Many  Lodges  held  Divine  Services  and,  in  addition,  there 
were  two  District  Church  Services. 

The  Past  Masters'  Association  and  the  Masters'  and 
Wardens'  Association  are  two  useful  and  active  organizations 
in  the  District.  They  have  given  effective  co-operation  in 
all  district  activities. 

Because  of  illness  I  was  unable  to  attend  the  scheduled 
Official  Inspection  of  Corinthian  Lodge  in  January  and  on 
very  short  notice  Rt.  Wor.  Bro.  H.  Martindale,  D.D.G.M. 
of  District  "B"  cheerfully  and  adequately  performed  this 
task. 

Among  the  highlights  of  the  year  were;  the  visit  of  the 
Grand  Master  to  Acacia  Lodere  when  I  had  the  honour  of 
presenting  the  Masters  of  District  "A"  to  him;  the  meeting 
celebrating-  the  50th  Anniversarv  of  Electric  Lodge;  a  visit 
to  the  Lodge  of  Strict  Observance  on  the  occasion  of  the 
visit  of  St.  John's  Lodere,  London:  the  visit  of  Tuscan  Lodge 
to  Red  Jacket  Lodge.  Lockport,  N.Y.;  the  meeting  of  Wash- 
ington Lodere,  No.  240.  Buffalo.  NY.  at  which  the  Grand 
Master  of  Masons  in  the  State  of  New  York  presented  a  60 
Year  Membership  Palm  to  Rt.  Wor.  Bro.  Charles  D.  Brough- 
ton,  D.D..  Senior  Grand  Chaplain  of  the  Grand  Lodge  of  the 
State  of  New  York;  and  the  100th  Anniversary  of  St.  Clair 
Lodge,  Milton. 

One  of  the  most  -pleasant  activities  of  the  year  was 
attendance,  with  mv  wife,  at  the  Annual  Ladies'  Nights  of 
the  Lodges  in  the  Hamilton  Districts.  These  were,  without 
exception,  spritely  and  happy  occasions. 

In  conclusion,  I  again  express  to  the  officers  of  Grand 
Lode-e  and  to  the  members  of  the  District  my  sincere  ap- 
preciation and  thanks  for  the  many  courtesies  extended  to 
me  during  the  year. 

JOHN  E.  PIERCY,  D.D.G.M. 


HAMILTON  DISTRICT  "B" 

Fulfilling  the  office  of  District  Deputy  Grand  Master  has 
been  a  most  exciting  and  pleasant  experience  and  one  that  I 
will   remember  always. 

One  of  mv  first  duties  after  assuming;  office  was  to 
appoint  Wor.  Bro.  William  Williamson  as  District  Secretary. 


136      GRAND    LODGE    OF    CANADA    ANNUAL    COMMUNICATION 

He  has  discharged  his  duties  in  a  most  capable  manner  and 
has  been  most  faithful  and  loyal  to  me  throughout  the  year. 
Wor.  Bro.  Williamson  reports  that  the  records  of  the  Secret- 
aries are  in  excellent  condition. 

Bro.  Rev.  Edward  Shaw  was  appointed  District  Chaplain 
with  Wor.  Bro.  Clarence  Young,  his  assistant.  Wor.  Bro. 
Samuel  Craig  carried  out  the  duties  of  Chairman  of  Masonic 
Education,  while  Bro.  Mervyn  Bolstad,  as  District  Chairman 
of  the  Blood  Donors'  Committee,  reported  over  three  hundred 
regular  Blood  Donors  donating  blood  in  the  District. 

I  have  made  an  official  visit  of  inspection  to  each  of 
the  twenty  Lodges  in  this  District.  The  reception  at  all 
Lodges  was  warm  and  generous. 

During  these  visits  I  was  greatly  impressed  with  the 
high  calibre  of  degree  work  being  carried  on  in  the  District. 
In  every  instance  the  officers,  assisted  by  Past  Masters, 
carried  out  their  duties  most  efficiently  and  with  sincerity 
and  dignity. 

There  were  two  Divine  Services  held  during  the  year 
by  the  combined  Hamilton  Districts  under  the  auspices  of 
the  Masters'  and  Wardens'  Association  as  well  as  a  number 
of  services  held  by  individual  Lodges  throughout  the  District. 
The  attendance  at  all  these  Services  was  most  gratifying 
indeed. 

Several  Fifty-Year  Medals  were  presented  to  brethren 
during  the  year  and  to  these  we  certainly  owe  a  debt  of 
gratitude  for  their  long  association  in  Masonry.  The  real 
pillars  of  Masonry  are  not  necessarily  the  monarchs  or  the 
professors  or  those  influential  in  the  social  or  business 
world,  but  rather  those  who  are  faithful  in  their  attendance 
and  diligent  in  their  work.  Many  of  these  brethren  who  have 
received  their  Fifty-Year  Medals  have  proven  to  be  the  real 
pillars  of  Masonry  in  their  respective  Lodges. 

Most  Lodges  in  the  District  held  a  Ladies'  Night  and  I 
had  the  pleasure  of  attending  all  of  these  functions  where  it 
gave  a  further  opportunity  of  associating  with  the  brethren 
and  their  wives. 

This  District  enjoys  very  active  Past  Masters'  Masters' 
and  Wardens'  Associations  and  I  feel  these  Associations  are 
performing  an  inmportant  function  and  are  making  a  real 
contribution  to  Masonry.  All  meetings  have  been  exception- 
ally well  attended. 

One  of  the  saddest  duties  I  had  was  to  attend  several 
Funeral  Services  held  for  brethren  of  this  District  who  had 
ascended   to    the   Grand    Lodge  Above.     Many  of  these   de- 


TORONTO,    ONTARIO,    1960  137 

ceased  brethren  played  a  very  important  part  in  Masonry 
in  their  respective  Lodges.  Their  contribution  to  Masonry 
is  a  real  challenge  to  us  all,  a  challenge  that  we,  too,  during 
our  Masonic  years,  may  make  a  similar  contribution,  so  that 
when  we  are  .called  upon  to  hand  over  the  torch  entrusted  to 
our  care,  we  may  hand  it  over  with  the  light  burning  brightly 
and  the  wick  well  trimmed. 

This  report  would  not  be  complete  without  thanking  the 
Grand  Secretary,  Rt.  Wor.  Bro.  Ewart  Dixon,  for  his  kindness 
and  assistance  to  me.  Bro.  Dixon's  great  wealth  of  Masonic 
knowledge  and  wisdom  is  always  available  to  all  members  of 
the  Craft  and  was  generously  given  to  me  whenever  requested. 

In  conclusion,  may  I  say  that  I  appreciate  so  much  the 
genuine  and  sincere  co-operation  which  I  have  received 
during  the  year.  The  many  friendships  which  I  have  made  and 
the  kindness  of  so  many  brethren  will  always  remain  fixed 
in  my  memory.  To  all  the  brethren  in  Hamilton  Masonic 
District  "B",  I  extend  my  sincere  appreciation  for  the  great 
privilege  which  has  been  mine. 

HARRISON  A.  MARTINDALE,  D.D.G.M. 


LONDON  DISTRICT 

It  is  a  pleasure  for  me  to  submit  my  report  on  the  con- 
dition of  Masonry  in  the  London  District  as  my  official  year 
as  D.D.G.M.  draws  to  a  close. 

I  am  indebted  to  the  brethren  of  Mt.  Olivet  Lodge,  No. 
300,  for  -proposing  me  as  a  candidate  for  this  office  and  to 
the  brethren  of  the  London  District  for  the  kindly  consider- 
ation given  Mt.  Olivet  Lodge  in  electing  me  D.D.G.M.  It  has 
been  one  of  the  most  interesting,  busiest  and  happiest  years 
of  my  life.  The  cordial  reception  accorded  me  in  each  of 
the  twenty-four  Lodges  in  the  District  shows  the  esteem 
and  loyalty  the  brethren  have  for  the  Grand  Master  and 
Grand  Lodge. 

My  first  official  act  was  to  appoint  Wor.  Bro.  Cecil  V. 
Fox,  District  Secretary.  He  accompanied  ,me  on  all  my 
official  visits  and  was  a  tower  of  strength  to  me  throughout 
the  year.  To  him  I  wish  to  express  my  sincere  thanks  for  his 
untiring  assistance. 

All  the  Lodges  in  the  District  were  officially  visited  by 
me  during  my  term  of  office  and  several  of  them  on  special 
occasions.  I  found  the  work  to  be  uniform  throughout  the 
District  and  of  high  standard.  All  the  Lodges  were  found  to 
have  their  records  in  good  condition.     Most  of  the   Lodges 


13S      GRAND    LODGE   OF    CANADA    ANNUAL    COMMUNICATION 

own  their  own  quarters  and  I  was  impressed  by  the  improve- 
ments and  renovations  that  had  been  made  during  the  year. 

I 
On  my  Official  Visit  to  King  Solomon's  Lodge,  No.  378, 
I  had  the  honour  of  presenting  a  Fifty-Year  Medal  to  Wor. 
Bro.   Joseph  Holliday. 

The  District  Divine  Service  was  held  in  Metropolitan 
United  Church,  London,  on  May  1st,  with  four  hundred 
Masons  attending.  The  Service  was  in  charge  of  the  District 
Chaplain,  Eev.  Wor.  Bro.  Lloyd  J.  Coates  who  is  the  Wor. 
Master  of  Moffat  Lodge,  No.  399,  and  Assistant  Minister  of 
Metropolitan  United  Church.  Wor.  Bro.  Coates  chose  as  his 
text  for  the  sermon  "On  level  ground"  and  delivered  a  most 
inspiring  address.  In  addition  to  the  District  Service,  it  was 
my  privilege  to  attend  Divine  Services  held  by  practically 
all  the  Lodges  in  the  District. 

Most  Lodges  in  the  District  held  a  Ladies'  night  and  Mrs. 
Sutherland  and  I  had  the  pleasure  of  attending  most  of 
these  functions. 

The  District  Educational  Committee  was  under  the  able 
chairmanship  of  Wor.  Bro.  Robert  Cater.  He  and  his  com- 
mittee were  very  active  throughout  the  year  and  aided  many 
of  the  Lodges  with  their  work  The  highlight  of  the  year  was 
the  District  Lodge  of  Instruction  sponsored  by  Acacia  Lodge, 
No.  580,  on  March  30th,  when  the  Second  Degree  was  ex- 
emplified. Wor.  Bro.  Cater  acted  as  Master  and  the  other 
offices  were  filled  by  the  Senior  Wardens  of  the  District. 
The  degree  presented  was  as  near  perfect  as  possible.  Most 
of  the  Lodges  have  Educational  Committees  and  all  are  doing 
excellent  work.  My  sincere  thanks  to  Rt.  Wor.  Bro.  Jack 
Irvine,  Rt.  Wor.  Bro.  J.  J.  Talman,  Rt.  Wor.  Bro.  Harry 
Peers  and  Rt.  Wor.  Bro.  Wm.  Coxon  for  their  help  through- 
out the  year. 

The  District  was  saddened  by  the  passing  of  Most  Wor. 
Bro.  Nelson  Collins  Hart,  our  beloved  Past  Grand  Master,  on 
December  7th,  1959.  We  have  lost  a  talented  brother  and 
one  whose  Masonic  record  will  long  be  remembered.  We  also 
mourn  the  loss  of  Rt.  Wor.  Bro.  Wilbur  Hamilton  Dunlop 
who  was  D.D.G.M.  in  1917-18.  Our  sympathy  goes  out  to 
their  families  and  to  the  families  of  the  many  other  Masons 
who  were  summoned  to  the  Grand  Lodge  Above  during  the 
year. 

The  Past  Masters',  Masters'  and  Wardens'  Association  is 
very  active  and  held  three  meetings  during  the  year.  At 
the  February  meeting  an  interesting  and  informative  address 
was  given  on  the  second  D.D.G.M.  of  the  London  District  by 
the  Grand  Senior  Warden,  Rt.  Wor.  Bro.  J.  J.  Talman.     At 


TORONTO.    ONTARIO,    1960  139 

the  annual  dinner,  held  in  Port  Stanley,  on  April  27th,  Rt. 
Wor.  Bro.  Jas.  A.  Robb  and  Rt.  Wor.  Bro.  A,  B.  Clinton  were 
honoured  for  their  work  as  Secretary-Treasurer  and  Chairman 
of  the  London  District  Blood  Donors'  Service.  The  Visiting 
Committee  is  making  one  visit  a  month  to  the  Dearness 
Home  for  Senior  Citizens  where  fourteen  of  our  brethren 
are  now  living.  My  thanks  to  the  Present  and  Past  Grand 
Lodge  Officers  who  were  in  attendance  on  my  official  visits 
and  to  the  Wor.  Masters  of  the  District  of  whom  eighteen  to 
twenty-two  were  present  on  each  occasion. 

Masonry  in  the  London  District  is  prospering.  There 
are  opportunities  for  the  formation  of  new  Lodges  to  serve 
the  District  more  effectively.  Annexation  will  take  place 
on  January  1st,  1961,  giving  the  city  of  London  a  population 
of  one  hundred  and  fifty  thousand.  I  would  recommend  that 
the  London  District  be  divided  into  two  districts  and  that 
consideration  be  given  to  the  building  of  a  new  temple  in  the 
city.

MUSKOKA— PARRY  SOUND  DISTRICT 

To  have  been  the  District  Deputy  Grand  Master  for 
Muskoka-Parry  Sound  District  during  the  past  year  has  been 
a  wonderful  experience.  My  year  of  office  has  been  made 
pleasant  by  the  sincere  co-operation  and  sympathy  and 
understanding  of  the  Lodges  in  this  District  and  the  cordial 
and  gracious  reception  accorded  me  on  my  official  visit  to 
each  of  the  eight  Lodges  was  most  gratifying.  Due  respect 
was  paid  the  Grand  Master  and  all  Grand  Lodge  Officers  on 
each  visit.  I  found  the  work  of  all  the  Lodges  in  the  District 
exceptionally  good  and  carried  out  according  to  the  ritual  as 
closely  as  was  humanly  possible. 

I  appointed  Wor.  Bro.  Fred  Freeman  as  my  District 
Secretary;  V.  Wor.  Bro.  Ven.  Archdeacon  J.  B.  Lindsell  as 
the  District  Chaplain;  Bro.  Arthur  Consoul  as  the  Chairman 
of  Masonic  Education;  and  Wor.  Bro.  H.  A.  Fisher  as  Chair- 
man of  the  Blood  Donors'  Committee.  I  was  very  fortunate 
as  they  were  all  a  tower  of  strength  in  planning  and  carry- 
ing on  the  work.  On  my  first  official  visit,  which  was  to 
Powassan  Lodge,  Powassan,  I  had  the  pleasure  of  presenting 
Past  Master's  Jewels  to  two  of  their  Past  Masters. 

On  my  official  visit  to  Unity  Lodge,  Huntsville,  in  Jan- 
uary two  of  the  members  of  their  Lodge  were  highly  honored. 
Rt.  Wor.  Bro.  H.  E.  Rice  received  his  Jewel  as  fifty  years  a 
Past  Master. 


140      GRAND   LODGE   OF  CANADA  ANNUAL   COMMUNICATION 

It  is  with  regret  that  I  report  the  death  of  three  of  the 
most  distinguished  members  of  this  District  during  the  year, 
Rt.  Wor.  Bro.  Preston  Gerhart  of  Unity  Lodge,  Huntsville, 
Rt.  Wor.  Bro.  Harry  Hayward  of  Algonquin  Lodge,  Emsdale, 
and  V.  Wor.  Bro.  Donald  T.  Johnston  of  Strong  Lodge, 
Sundridge. 

The  District  Church  Service  was  held  in  St.  James 
Anglican  Church,  Gravenhurst,  on  Sunday,  June  19  and  we 
had  a  large  number  of  Masons  present.  Rt.  Wor.  Bro.  Canon 
Collaton  of  Sault  Ste.  Marie  gave  a  very  excellent  address. 

In  conclusion,  I  wish  to  thank  the  many  Masons  in  this 
District  who  have  done  so  much  towards  making  my  year 
of  office  so  pleasant  as  well  as  contributing  towards  the  well 
being  and  advancement  of  Masonry.

NIAGARA  DISTRICT  "A" 

The  duties  and  privileges  of  serving  as  District  Deputy 
Grand  Master  certainly  lift  one's  life  out  of  the  commonplace 
for  the  year. 

The  efficiency  of  the  District  Officers,  their  kindness 
and  helpfulness  were  great  lessons  in  Masonic  co-operation. 
Wor.  Bro.  John  M.  Lee,  District  Secretary,  fulfilled  his 
duties  in  a  most  capable  manner.  Enthusiastic  expressions 
of  approval  were  heard  on  all  sides  regarding  Wor.  Bro. 
Lee's  untiring  efforts  for  the  District.  Wor.  Bro.  F.  R. 
Allison,  Supervisor  of  Masonic  Education,  proved  his  good 
work  by  putting  into  circulation  over  sixty  copies  of  the 
Manual  for  Masonic  Instructors  and  Students.  Wor.  Bro. 
Allison's  short  talks  on  the  value  of  this  Manual  were  very 
effective.  Bro.  the  Rev.  James  A.  Newman,  District  Chaplain, 
served  his  District  for  a  second  term  with  the  true  dignity 
of  a  cultured  Masonic  scholar. 

The  Constituting  and  Consecrating  of  Grantham  Lodge, 
No.  697,  on  Monday,  September  21st,  was  particularly  inter- 
esting to  the  whole  Distrct.  Most  Wor.  Bro.  H.  L.  Martyn 
was  the  presiding  officer  on  this  occasion.  The  inspiring 
address  delivered  by  Most  Wor.  Bro.  Martyn  was  deeply 
appreciated  by  all  present. 

On  October  6th,  Ivy  Lodge,  No.  115,  Beamsville,  held 
Dedicatory  Services  commemorating  one  hundred  years  of 
Masonry.  On  October  30th  the  members  of  Ivy  Lodge  held 
their    Centennial   Banquet   at   Prudhomme's    Garden   Centre. 


TORONTO,    ONTARIO,    1960  141 

Rt.    Wor.   Bro.    the    Hon.   James    N.    Allan   was    the    guest 
speaker  for  this  delightful  event. 

The  Masters'  and  Wardens'  Association  held  their  first 
meeting  on  October  20th  in  the  St.  Catharines  Masonic 
Temple.  Rt.  Wor.  Bro.  George  J.  McQueen  was  the  guest 
speaker  and  gave  a  comprehensive  account  of  Masonic 
Benevolence  in  Ontario. 

The  Wor.  Masters  and  Secretaries  were  excellent  in  all 
phases  of  district  planning.  Their  immediate  response  to  all 
enquiries  made  it  possible  to  have  our  Official  Visits  listed 
early  and  accurately. 

On  Official  Visitations,  each  Lodge  exemplified  the 
degree  requested.  The  degree  work  in  every  case  showed 
that  all  Officers  in  the  District  were  taking  their  Masonic 
duties   very   seriously. 

The  District  Secretary  found  the  books  of  the  Lodges 
neatly  kept  and  the  proceedings  well  recorded.  Attendance 
and  Masonic  interest  are  showing  improvement.  The  temples, 
lodge  rooms  and  furniture  are  well  maintained. 

All  Lodges  in  the  District  held  "At  Homes".  Mrs. 
MacDonald,  Mrs.  Lee,  the  District  Secretary  and  I  thoroughly 
enjoyed  the  warmth  and  friendly  atmosphere  of  these  pleas- 
ant evenings. 

On  Friday,  March  18th,  in  the  Council  Chamber  in  St. 
Catharines,  a  unique  service  was  held.  Rt.  Wor.  Bro.  R.  W. 
Treleaven,  Deputy  Grand  Master,  presented  a.  silver  trowel 
to  the  city  of  St.  Catharines.  Mayor  Bro.  W.  R.  Bald  re- 
ceived  the  trowel  on  behalf  of  the  city.  This  trowel  had  been 
presented  to  Sir  Allan  McNab,  Grand  Master  of  Canada 
West,  when  he  laid  the  corner  stone  of  the  Town  Hall  in 
1848.  The  trowel  had  been  picked  up  in  an  antique  shop  in 
Australia.  The  engraving  on  the  trowel  told  its  story.  The 
Grand  Secretary  of  Western  Australia  sent  the  trowel  to  Rt. 
Wor.  Bro.  E.  G.  Dixon  who  directed  its  return  to  the  City  of 
St.  Catharines.  The  Wor.  Masters  of  the  District  and  many 
members  attended  this  presentation. 

The  Masters'  and  Wardens'  Association,  at  the  request  of 
Seymour  Lodge,  No.  277,  Port  Dalhousie,  held  an  enlighten- 
ing Lodge  of  Instruction  on  April  7th.  This  was  a  well- 
attended  District  Meeting  presided  over  by  the  District 
Deputy  Grand  Master. 

Wor.  Bro.  C.  R.  Buss  of  Mountain  Lodge,  Thorold,  as 
Chairman  of  the  Blood  Donors'  Committee,  put  forth  every 
effort  to  bring:  the  importance  of  this  work  to  the  attention 
of  the  members  of  the  District. 


142      GRAND    LODGE   OF   CANADA    ANNUAL    COMMUNICATION 

The  individual  Church  Services  were  well  attended.  The 
District  Divine  Service  was  outstanding.  This  Service  was 
held  Sunday  evening,  May  1st,  in  St.  Paul  Street  United 
Church,  St.  Catharines,  under  the  auspices  of  St.  George's 
Lodge,  No.  15.  The  address  "A  Goodly  Heritage"  by  Rev. 
Bro.  G.  P.  Forsey,  M.A,  was  most  inspiring.  The  St.  Cath- 
arines Masonic  Choir  was  in  charge  of  the  music  and  helped 
make  this  Service  a  real  district  achievement. 

My  year  as  District  Deputy  Grand  Master  was  most 
gratifying  because  of  the  loyal  support  of  Past  Grand  Lodge 
Officers,  and  all  lodge  members  in  the  District.  To  have  had 
the  opportunity  of  being  part  of  this  splendid  Masonic  spirit 
has  been  a  great  honour,  and  for  this,  I  humbly  and  sincerely 
thank  the  kindly  Masons  of  Niagara  District  "A". 

W.  W.   MacDONALD,   D.D.G.M. 


NIAGARA  DISTRICT  "B" 

I  am  pleased  to  report  that  Masonry  in  Niagara  District 
"B"  is  in  a  very  excellent  condition.  Besides  officially  visit- 
ing each  Lodge,  I  have  attended  each  on  other  occasions  to 
witness  degrees  which,  in  all  cases,  were  conferred  in  an 
excellent  manner  by  the  Masters,  officers  and  brethren. 

It  was  indeed  a  pleasure  to  appoint  Wor.  Bro.  F.  E. 
Wilson,  District  Secretary;  Wor.  Bro.  F.  D.  Bowering,  District 
Chairman  of  Masonic  Education:  and  Wor.  Bro.  Rev.  W. 
D.  Goodger,  District  Chaplain.  These  brethren  were  a  tower 
of  strength  to  me  during  the  year.  The  District  Secretary 
accompanied  me  on  all  official  visits.  He  checked  the  lodge 
records  for  amounts  of  insurance,  number  of  suspensions,  and 
also  acted  as  District  Chairman  of  the  Blood  Donors'  Com- 
mittee. The  District  Chairman  of  Masonic  Education  spoke 
on  twelve  occasions  on  some  subject  of  general  interest.  The 
District  Chaplain  gave  inspiring  messages  on  our  official 
visits,  tending  to  bring  the  Church  and  the  Craft  closer 
together. 

There  were  many  outstanding  events  during  the  year. 
Among  them  was  the  burning  of  the  mortgage  at  Merritt 
Lodge,  No.  168,  Welland.  Most  Wor.  Bro.  T.  H.  Simpson, 
who  officiated  at  the  Dedication  of  the  Building  in  1946 
when  he  was  the  Deputy  Grand  Master,  was  the  guest  of 
honour. 

Three  Veteran  Jubilee  Medals  were  presented  during  the 
year.  The  recipients  were  Wor.  Bro.  W.  G.  Stamp,  Palmer 
Lod<?e;  Bro.  G.  F.  Tapping,  Cope-Stone  Lodge;  and  Bro.  J.  H. 
L.  Robertson,  St.  Mark's  Lodge.  One  Jewel  for  Fifty  Years 
a  Past  Master  was  presented  to  Wor.  Bro.  R.  Misener  of  St. 


TORONTO,    ONTARIO,    1960  143 

Mark's   Lodge.     The   reminiscences  of  these   brethren   were 
very  enlightening. 

Several  fraternal  visits  were  exchanged  with  our  brethren 
in  the  United  States.  The  brethren  of  Woodward  Lodge,  No. 
508,  Cleveland,  Ohio,  and  their  families  visited  Niagara  Falis 
on  the  week-end  of  April  7.  They  were  entertained  by  a 
sight-seeing  tour  of  the  Niagara  District  and  a  dinner  dance. 
In  the  afternoon  the  brethren  attended  an  emergent  meeting 
of  St.  Mark's  Lodge,  No.  105,  Clifton  Lodge,  No.  254,  and 
Adoniram  Lodge  No.  573.  At  this  meeting  the  Niagara 
D;.-:rict  Police  Team  conferred  the  Third  Degree  on  a  mem- 
ber of  the  local  police.  Guests  at  the  dinner  dance  included 
Bro.  F.  J.  Miller,  Mayor  of  Niagara  Falls,  Ontario,  and  Bro. 
H.  R.  Mitchinson,  Reeve  of  Stamford  Township. 

Divine  Services  were  held  by  ten  Lodges  of  this  District, 
which  were  well  attended.  The  District  Divine  Service  was 
held  in  St.  Andrews  United  Church,  Niagara  Falls,  and  was 
conducted  by  the  District  Chaplain.  Wor.  Bro.  Rev.  W.  D. 
Goodger  spoke  on  "Important  Duties".  Brethren  from  all 
Lodges  in  the  District  attended  this  Service. 

The  Masters'  and  Wardens'  Association  held  two  meet- 
ing's during  the  year  under  the  direction  of  Wor.  Bro.  G.  E. 
Pedlar.  At  the  first  one,  held  in  Myrtle  Lodge,  Port  Robinson, 
Bro.  Rev.  John  Kitchen  spoke  on  his  Masonic  experiences  in 
China,  covei-ing  a  period  of  thirty-five  years.  At  the  second, 
held  in  Dominion  Lodge,  Ridgeway,  Bro.  Lloyd  Young  showed 
pictures  of  the  construction  of  the  Sir  Adam  Beck  Generating 
Station  (Ontario  Hydro)  at  Queenston,  Ontario.  Both  meet- 
ings were  educational  and  enjoyable. 

Most  Lodges  in  the  District  held  Ladies'  Nights.  Mrs. 
Storehouse  and  I  received  manv  kindnesses  from  the  brethren 
and  their  ladies  at  these  events. 

It  has  been  a  privilege  for  me  to  serve  the  brethren  of 
Niagara  Distiict  "B".  There  are  many  memories  in  my  heart 
that  will  never  fade  away.  I  hope  that  I  have  contributed 
some  small  part  for  the  good  of  Masonry  in  our  community.

NIPISSING  EAST  DISTRICT 

As  another  Masonic  year  gradually  draws  to  a  close, 
thus  ending  my  term  as  District  Deputy  Grand  Master  of 
Nipissing  East  District,  I  find  myself  looking  back  over  the 
year  with  mixed  emotions.  It  has  been  one  in  which  much 
has  been  accomplished.  However,  I  feel  a  great  deal  more 
could  have  been  done  for  the  benefit  of  Masonry  in  the 
District  if  time  had  permitted. 


144      GRAND   LODGE   OF    CANADA   ANNUAL   COMMUNICATION 

The  privilege  of  representing-  the  Grand  Master  has 
been  a  distinct  pleasure  and  a  very  high  honour.  It  has 
been  a  e^-eat  experience  to  visit  all  the  Lodges  in  the  District 
and  each  will  be  remembered  as  an  important  part  of  my 
Masonic  life. 

I  appointed  W.  Bro.  L.  G.  Miller  as  District  Secretary, 
R.W.  Bro.  J.  Smorthwaite  as  District  Chaplain,  and  W.  Bro. 
H.  Haley  as  District  Supervisor  of  Masonic  Education.  These 
brethren  accompanied  me  on  my  visits  to  the  various  Lodges 
and  their  assistance  lightened  my  work  during  the  year. 

The  eight  Lodges  of  the  District  were  inspected  and  the 
warm  and  courteous  reception  accorded  to  me  on  each  oc- 
casion reflected  the  high  esteem  which  is  held  for  the  Grand 
Master  and  Grand  Lodge.  Masonry  in  general  in  Nipissing 
East  is  in  reasonably  good  condition.  While  some  Lodges 
are  progressing  favourably,  others  are  having  financial 
difficulties.  The  lack  of  candidates  is  largely  responsible 
for  this  condition  and  also  contributes  to  the  poor  attendance 
at  meetings.  It  was  suggested  that  annual  dues  be  increased 
as  a  means  of  improving  lodge  income.  To  encourage  at- 
tendance at  meetings,  it  was  suggested  that  more  meetings 
be  devoted  to  Masonic  Education.  Exemplification  of  degrees 
was  also  recommended  to  hold  the  interest  of  the  members. 

The  records  of  each  Lodge  were  found  to  be  very  well 
kept,  from  which  I  can  only  conclude  that  all  lodge  business 
is  in  very  capable  hands.  The  importance  of  fire  insurance 
was  stressed  and  in  most  cases  was  found  to  be  adequate  to 
cover  lodge  property.  The  majority  of  the  Lodges  are  pro- 
gressing with  Masonic  Education  while  a  few  have  little  or 
none.  It  was  brought  to  the  attention  of  the  Masters  that 
this  is  necessary  in  our  Masonic  work  and  in  life  and  should 
be  given,  particularly  for  the  benefit  of  the  newer  members. 

Degree  work  was  witnessed  in  five  of  the  eight  Lodges. 
The  remaining  three  did  not  have  candidates  available  but 
were  examined  in  other  portions  of  the  work.  It  appeared 
that  some  officers  do  not  take  the  interest  in  their  work 
which  they  should.  Therefore,  in  some  cases,  the  calibre  of 
the  work  leaves  much  to  be  desired.  It  was  pointed  out  that 
it  is  important  for  the  officers  to  learn  and  deliver  their  own 
portions  of  the  work,  rather  than  leave  it  for  another  member 
or  a  Past  Master. 

My  inspection  of  Elk  Lake  Lodge,  No.  507,  was  originally 
scheduled  for  May  10th,  1960.  Owing  to  the  severe  floods 
raging  in  that  area,  the  roads  became  inundated  and  it  was 
impossible  to  reach  the  lodge  building.  This  meeting  was 
cancelled  after  notifying  the  Grand  Secretary.  The  Wor- 
shipful Master  called  an  emergent  meeting  for  May  31  when 
my  official  inspection  of  that  Lodge  was  made. 


TORONTO,    ONTARIO,    1960  145 

A  private  meeting  was  held  in  North  Bay  on  September 
26th,  with  the  Masters  and  Wardens  of  the  four  Lodges  in 
the  southern  area  of  the  District.  A  similar  meeting-  was 
held  m  New  Liskeard  on  October  31st,  with  the  Masters  and 
Wardens  of  the  four  Lodges  in  the  northern  area.  Unfortun- 
ately it  was  not  possible  for  all  to  attend  but  a  good  number 
were  present  at  each  meeting.  The  District  Secretary  ac- 
companied me  on  both  of  these  occasions.  These  meetings 
proved  to  be  very  beneficial  in  planning  the  work  for  the 
year  and  served  the  following  purposes; 

(a)  To  meet  the  Masters  of  the  various  Lodges  in  the 
District. 

(b)  To  have  the  opportunity  of  passing  along  to  the 
officers  certain  information  which  would  help  them 
with  their  work. 

(c)  To  give  the  officers  of  each  Lodge  the  opportunity 
of  becoming  acquainted  with  one  another. 

(d)  To  discuss  certain  matters  which  could  not  be 
handled  fully  on  the  night  of  an  official  visit. 

Also,  at  these  meetings  I  expressed  my  desire  to  conduct 
Lodges  of  Instruction  sometime  during  the  year.  They 
heartily  approved  of  this  venture  and  offered  their  fullest 
co-operation.  Plans  were  made  to  hold  a  Lodge  of  Instruc- 
tion for  the  four  Lodges  in  the  northern  section  of  the 
District  and  one  for  the  four  Lodges  in  the  southern  portion. 
During  the  winter,  preparatory  to  these  Lodges  of  Instruc- 
tion, the  District  Supervisor  of  Masonic  Education  and  I 
travelled  to  six  Lodges  in  the  District  to  instruct  them  in  the 
work  of  the  three  degrees. 

On  Saturday.  May  7th,  a  Lod.ee  of  Instruction  was  held 
in  the  Masonic  Temple,  Haileybury.  The  following  Lodges 
exemplified  the  degrees;  Elk  Lake  Lodge,  No.  507,  First 
Degree;  Silver  Lodge,  No.  486,  Second  Degree;  Temiskaming 
Lodge,  No.  462,  Third  Degree;  Haileybury  Lodge,  No.  485, 
acted  as  host  lodge.  Similarly,  on  Saturday,  May  14th,  a 
Lodge  of  Instruction  was  held  in  the  Masonic  Temple,  North 
Bay.  On  this  occasion  the  degrees  were  scheduled  to  be 
exemplified  by;  Sturgeon  Falls  Lodge,  No.  447,  First  Degree; 
Mattawa  Lodge,  No.  405.  Second  Degree;  Nipissing  Lodge, 
No.  420,  Third  Degree;  North  Bay  Lodge,  No.  617,  acted  as 
host  lodge.  Unfortunately,  due  to  severe  flooding  conditions 
in  the  Mattawa  area,  the  officers  of  that  Lodge  were  unable 
to  be  present.  However,  several  brethren  from  Mattawa 
Ave  re  able  to  be  present.  The  officers  of  North  Bay  Lodge, 
therefore,  exemplified  the  work  of  the  Second  Degree,  in 
addition  to  acting  as  host  Lodge.  On  both  occasions,  the 
First  and  Second  Degrees  were  exemplified  in  the  afternoon 
and   the  Third  Degree   in  the  evening   following  a   banquet 


146     GRAND    LODGE   OF   CANADA    ANNUAL    COMMUNICATION 

arranged  by  the  host  Lodge.  These  Lodges  were  held  under 
my  supervision  and  I  was  assisted  by  Worshipful  Brother 
H.  Haley,  District  Supervisor  of  Masonic  Education.  The 
guidance  and  instructions  offered  appeared  to  be  well  re- 
ceived and  I  feel  sure  that  if  they  are  seriously  practised, 
much  can  be  done  to  bring  the  work  to  a  higher  standard 
in  the  District. 

Last  March,  Haileybury  Lodge,  No.  485,  suffered  the 
misfortune  of  having  their  furnace  backfire,  filling  the  build- 
ing with  soot  and  smoke.  This  made  it  necessary  to  clean 
and  redecorate  the  interior  of  the  building.  The  furnishings 
and  lodge  regalia  also  had  to  be  cleaned. 

Prior  to  writing  this  report,  arrangements  were  made 
to  hold  joint  services  of  Divine  Worship,  on  Sunday,  June 
19th,  in  the  northern  and  southern  areas  of  the  District.  It  is 
hoped  that  many  brethren  will  take  the  opportunity  of 
publicly  expressing  their  belief  in  the  Great  Architect  of 
the  Universe  by  attending  their  respective  Church  Service. 
If  past  years  are  indicative,  these  Services  will  be  well 
attended. 

In  conclusion,  I  should  like  to  thank  the  brethren  of 
Nipissing  East  District  for  the  honour  and  privilege  of 
serving  as  their  District  Deputy  Grand  Master.  Their  co- 
operation and  loyal  support  were  immensely  appreciated. 

It  is  hoped  that  I  have  fulfilled  my  duties  as  District 
Deputy  Grand  Master  thoroughly  and  efficiently  and  have, 
in  some  small  way,  served  Masonry  in  general  and  Nipissing 
East  District  in  particular.

NIPISSING  WEST  DISTRICT 

It  has  been  a  rich  and  rewarding  experience  to  have 
served  Nipissing  West  District  during  this  year  of  un- 
precedented  expansion. 

I  appointed  Wor.  Bro.  Thomas  W.  Christilaw,  District 
Secretary,  Wor.  Bro.  Frank  Timmermans,  Chairman  of 
Masonic  Education,  and  Bro.  Rev.  S.  M.  Craymer,  District 
Chaplain.  I  am  deeply  indebted  to  these  brethren  for  the 
loyal  support,  kindly  co-operation  and  helpfulness  which  they 
so  unselfishly  extended  to  me  at  all  times. 

On  two  successive  nights,  October  2nd  and  October  3rd, 
it  was  my  pleasant  duty  to  assist  Most.  Wor.  Bro.  W.  L. 
Wright  in  the  ceremonies  of  Constitution  and  Consecration 
of  Bethel  Lodge,  No.  699,  Sudbury,  and  Elliot  Lake  Lodge, 


TORONTO,    ONTARIO.    1960  147 

No.  698,  in  their  temporary  quarters  in  Blind  River.  Both 
were  well  attended  and  the  brethren  were  greatly  impressed 
by  the  inspiring  addresses  so  masterfully  delivered  by  Most 
Wor.  Bro.  Wright.  Immediaely  following  the  ceremonies  1 
installed  the  officers,  assisted  by  a  very  able  installation 
team. 

The  new  Temple  of  Espanola  Lodge,  No.  527,  was 
dedicated  on  November  6th,  1959,  Most  Wor.  Bro.  W.  L. 
Wright  officiating.  I  would  be  remiss  if  I  failed  to  mention 
the  outstanding  contribution  of  Rt.  Wor.  Bro.  Canon  F.  W. 
Colloton  who  performed  splendidly  in  the  office  of  Grand 
Chaplain  during  these  ceremonies. 

April  23rd,  was  truly  the  highlight  cf  my  term  of  office. 
It  was  my  privilege  to  assist  the  Grand  Master  C.  M.  Pitts, 
at  the  Dedication  of  the  new  Temple  of  Lome  Lodge,  No. 
622,  Chapleau.  The  Grand  Masters  address,  together  with 
his  dynamic  personality,  made  a  lasting  impression  on  every- 
one present.  The  brethren  of  Espanola  Lodge,  No.  527,  and 
Lome  Lodge.  No.  622,  cannot  be  too  highly  commended  on 
their  beautiful  and  well  appointed  premises. 

Dyment  Lodge,  No.  442,  Thessalon,  has  purchased  the 
building  in  which  their  temple  is  housed  and  are  planning 
extensive  renovations  when  finances  permit. 

Elliot  Lake  Lodge,  No.  698,  is  presently  engaged  in  the 
process  of  obtaining  suitable  quarters  in  Elliot  Lake,  which 
they  anticipate  will  be  ready  late  this  year. 

Nipissing  West  District  was  honoured  on  December  8th, 
by  a  visit  of  the  Deputy  Grand  Master,  Rt.  Wor.  Bro.  R.  W. 
Treleaven.  Keystone  Lodge,  No.  412,  was  host  for  this 
occasion.  We  are  grateful  to  have  had  the  opportunity  to 
meet  this  outstanding  Mason. 

During  my  official  visits  to  the  seventeen  Lodges  it  was 
my  privilege  to  witness  a  degree  exemplified  by  each  Lodge 
without  exception.  I  am  pleased  to  report  that  the  work 
was  performed  in  most  cases  in  a  very  proficient  manner. 
I  noted  that  the  brethren  of  the  District  made  a  great  effort 
to  visit  the  various  Lodges  on  their  inspection  night,  which 
was  most  encouraging.  It  is  indeed  gratifying  to  see  the 
junior  officers,  and  those  who  do  not  hold  office,  taking  such 
an  active  part  in  the  work.  I  was  most  impressed  by  the 
calibre  of  the  candidates  being  received  into  Masonry.  Their 
contribution,  I  feel,  will  in  years  to  come,  amply  justify  the 
trust  we  have  placed  in  them. 

My  District  Secretary  accompanied  me  on  every  official 
visit  and  he  reports  that  the  records  of  all  Lodge  Secretaries 
are  in  excellent  condition;  all  Lodges  have  adequate  in- 
surance coverage  and  are  in  sound  financial  condition. 


148      GRAND    LODGE    OF    CANADA   ANNUAL    COMMUNICATION 

I  endeavoured  to  promote  Masonic  Education  on  each 
visit  and  was  impressed  by  the  effective  programmes  that 
are  working  successfully  in  some  Lodges.  However  there  is 
a  great  need  for  the  advancement  of  this  most  worthwhile 
project  in  this  District. 

The  Remembrance  Memorial  Fund  has  been  well  public- 
ized by  every  Lodge  and  has  been  well  received.  The  various 
committees  and  Lodge  Secretaries  are  to  be  commended  for 
their  untiring  efforts  to  ensure  the  success  of  this  venture. 

I  regret  that,  due  to  circumstances  beyond  my  control,  I 
was  very  late  in  organizing  the  Blood  Donors'  Service  in  this 
District.    We  will  be  in  a  position  to  participate  in  the  fall. 

I  have  arranged  for  a  Lodge  of  Instruction  to  be  held  in 
Blind  River  on  June  25th.  All  Lodges  in  the  District  will 
be  represented  and,  from  the  enthusiasm  expressed  by  the 
brethren,  we  are  assured  of  a  good  attendance. 

In  conclusion,  may  I  express  my  sincere  and  heartfelt 
thanks  to  all  the  Masons  in  this  District  for  the  wonderful 
co-operation  extended  to  me  during  the  past  year.  Their 
contribution  has  made  my  task  a  pleasant  duty  and  is  ap- 
preciated. 

M.  F.  LEES,  D.D.G.M. 


NORTH  HURON   DISTRICT 

It  has  been  a  rewarding  experience  to  have  served  as 
D.D.G.M.  of  North  Huron  District  during  the  Masonic  Year 
1959-60.  Each  of  the  twelve  Lodges  in  the  District  received 
me  with  the  greatest  splendour  and  hospitality,  making  me 
ever  conscious  of  the  exalted  position  which  I  endeavoured  to 
fulfill  to  the  best  of  my  ability. 

I  appointed  Wor.  Bro.  J.  Gordon  Leggat  of  Wingham  as 
District  Secretary.  His  services  have  been  loyal  and  he  has 
given  of  his  time  freely  in  fulfilling  the  duties  of  the  office, 
also  accompanying  me  on  all  my  official  visits.  Other  ap- 
pointments were  Wor.  Bro.  R.  Ross  Vogan  as  Chairman  of 
Masonic  Education,  Bro.  Rev.  T.  Garnet  Husser  as  District 
Chaplain  and  Rt.  Wor.  Bro.  Harvey  G.  Linklater  as  District 
Chairman  of  Blood  Donors. 

On  my  official  visits  several  Lodges  conferred  degrees 
in  a  very  excellent  manner.  Lodges  without  degree  work  to 
confer  opened  and  closed  in  the  three  degrees  in  a  very 
capable  and  efficient  manner  in  accordance  with  the  ritual. 


TORONTO,    ONTARIO,    1960  149 

My  District  Secretary  reports  that  all  Lodges  are  in 
reasonably  good  condition;  their  reports  are  accurate  and 
capably  compiled.  The  fire  insurance  coverage  of  one  Lodge 
was  not  to  the  standard  expected.  However  it  will  be  in- 
creased in  the  near  future. 

It  was  an  honour  and  privilege  to  visit  with  the  neighbor- 
ing D.D.G.M's.  of  Bruce  and  South  Huron  Districts  on  some 
of  their  official  visits.  They  both  returned  the  compliment 
by  visiting  me  on  my  official  visit  to  my  home  Lodge,  which 
I  deeply  appreciated.  Each  Lodge  in  North  Huron  District 
was  represented  on  that  occasion. 

On  April  8th  I  had  the  pleasure  of  attending  St. 
Lawrence  Lodge.  No.  131.  Southampton  when  they  held  their 
centennial  celebration.  This  indeed  was  a  wonderful  evening 
for  Masonry  in  Bruce  District. 

Blood  donating  this  year  under  the  Chairmanship  of  Rt. 
Wor.  Bro.  Harvey  G.  Linklater  is  on  the  move,  due  to  his 
efforts  to  impress  upon  the  brethren  the  urgent  necessity 
of  donations  to  this  worthy  cause. 

A  Ladies'  Night  was  held  by  several  Lodges  in  the 
District;  it  was  my  pleasure  to  attend  some  of  these  events, 
accompanied  by  my  wife;  they  were  very  much  enjoyed. 

The  Past  Masters',  Masters'  and  Wardens'  Associations 
are  very  active  and  are  a  great  help  in  furthering  Masonic 
Education  in  the  District.  All  meetings  are  well  attended 
and  are  a  means  whereby  further  light  is  extended  in 
Masonry. 

Our  District  Divine  Service  was  held  in  Wingham  United 
Church  on  Sunday,  May  29th,  each  Lodge  in  the  District 
being  represented.  Bro.  Rev.  T.  Garnet  Husser,  District 
Chaplain,  delivered  an  inspiring  address,  the  text  of  the 
sermon  being  "Christianity".  I  read  the  lesson  from  the 
Volume  of  the  Sacred  Law.  Most  Lodges  in  the  District 
have  a  local  Divine  Service,  several  of  which  I  had  the 
pleasure  of  attending. 

It  is  a  practise  within  the  District  to  hold  inter-lodge 
fraternal  visits.  These  visits  are  a  great  asset  to  Masonry 
by  creating  true  friendship  and  brotherly  love. 

In  closing  I  wish  to  express  thanks  to  the  Secretaries, 
Worshipful  Masters  and  all  the  brethren  in  the  District  for 
their  co-operation.

150      GRAND   LODGE  OF    CANADA    ANNUAL   COMMUNICATION 

ONTARIO  DISTRICT 

It  has  been  a  very  great  privilege  and  an  enriching 
experience  to  have  served  as  District  Deputy  Grand  Master 
in  Ontario  District.  The  very  high  esteem  and  respect  in 
which  the  Most  Worshipful  the  Grand  Master  is  held  was 
reflected  by  the  sincerity  with  which  I  was  received  on  all 
visits  throughout  the  District.  I  wish  to  express  to  the 
Masters,  Past  Masters,  Wardens,  officers  and  brethren  my 
deep  appreciation  for  the  kindness  of  their  greetings  and  the 
co-operation  I  enjoyed. 

I  appointed  Wor.  Bro.  Clarence  J.  Allin,  District  Secre- 
tary, Wor.  Bro.  Rev.  Alexander  G.  Scott,  District  Chaplain, 
Wor.  Bro.  Garnet  B.  Rickard,  Chairman  of  Masonic  Education, 
and  Wor.  Bro.  Chas.  L.  Warren,  Chairman  of  Masonic  Blood 
Donors. 

To  my  District  Secretary  I  owe  a  special  thanks  for  the 
work  he  has  done  in  connection  with  his  office.  He  gave 
generously  of  his  time,  which  assisted  me  greatly  in  my 
duties.  I  was  fortunate  in  securing  the  services  of  my 
District  Chaplain,  a  Past  Master  who  is  well  informed  in  out 
Ritual.  He  accompanied  me  on  all  except  one  of  my  official 
visits  and  was  often  called  on  to  reply  to  the  toast  to  the 
visitors.  His  remarks  were  very  timely  and  his  advice  was 
freely  given  and  continually  sought  by  the  brethren. 

The  Annual  District  Divine  Service  was  held  in  Trinity 
United  Church,  Bowmanvilie,  on  May  15th.  Wor.  Bro.  Rev. 
A.  G.  Scott,  assisted  by  Bro.  Rev.  Wm.  K.  Houslander,  Trinity 
United  Church  Minister,  conducted  the  service.  The  District 
Chaplain  delivered  a  very  inspiring  message.  Special  music 
was  provided  by  a  Masonic  choir  directed  by  Bro.  Arthur 
Collison,  Organist  at  Trinity  Church. 

Wor.  Bro.  Garnet  B.  Rickard,  Chairman  of  Masonic 
Education  is  worthy  of  mention  for  the  work  he  has  done  in 
the  District.  Two  special  meetings  were  held,  one  in  Ontario 
Lodge,  No.  26,  Port  Hope,  when  Past  Masters  of  Durham 
Lodge,  No.  66,  Newcastle,  put  on  an  educational  programme 
in  the  First  Degree.  The  other  was  held  in  Parkwood  Lodge, 
No.  695,  Oshawa.  This  meeting  took  the  form  of  a  Lodge 
of  Instruction  with  Rt.  Wor.  Bro.  Molson  C.  Cain  as  guest 
speaker  who  spoke  on  the  symbolism  in  the  three  Degrees. 

I  also  want  to  thank  Wor.  Bro.  Chas.  T.  Warren  for  the 
fine  work  he  did  as  Chairman  of  the  Blood  Donors'  Com- 
mittee. 

I  contacted  all  the  Lodges  in  the  District  regarding 
donations  to  the  Grand  Lodge  Remembrance  Fund  and  1 
anticipate  a  generous  response. 


TORONTO,    ONTARIO,    1960  151 

One  of  the  outstanding1  events  in  Ontario  District  was 
the  Dedication  of  the  new  Temple  of  Fidelity  Lodge,  No.  428, 
Port  Perry,  under  the  direction  of  the  Grand  Master,  who  by 
his  presence  and  timely  address  did  much  in  strengthening 
the  appreciation  and  meaning  of  Freemasonry.  Every  Lodge 
in  Ontario  District  was  represented  and  took  part  in  the 
Dedication  Ceremony.  Fidelity  Lodge  is  to  be  congratulated 
on  the  planning  and  completing  the  building  of  their  new 
Temple. 

I  presented  a  Fifty  Year  Past  Masters'  Jewel  to  Wor. 
Bro.  Edward  Tape  of  Hope  Lodge,  No.  114,  and  a  Fifty  Year 
Master  Masons'  Medal  to  Bros.  Sidney  Scott  and  Wesley  T. 
Cawker  of  Jerusalem  Lodge,  No.  31.  I  also,  assisted  in  the 
Dedication  of  an  altar  cloth  in  Orono  Lodge,  No.  325,  which 
was  donated  by  Mrs.  LeBoy  Hamilton  in  memory  of  her  late 
husband,  an  esteemed  Bro.  of  Orono  Lodge.  A  special 
privilege  was  afforded  me  on  being  present  at  the  present- 
ation of  regalia  to  Bit.  Wor.  Bro.  Earl  J.  McKeever,  Grand 
Registrar.  He  was  invested  by  Rt.  Wor.  Bro.  George  Finnie, 
P.D.D.G.M.  Many  Grand  Lodge  officers,  present  and  past, 
were  there  to  honour  our  worthy  brother. 

I  officially  visited  the  fourteen  Lodges  in  the  District 
at  which  a  degree  was  exemplified  by  each  of  the  Lodges. 
Practically  every  officer  was  sincere  and  earnest,  and  created 
an  impression  on  each  of  the  candidates.  I  am  pleased  to 
report  that  Masonry  is  in  a  healthy  condition  in  Ontario 
District. 

My  District  Secretary  reports  that  the  records  and 
finances  of  the  Lodges  are  also  in  excellent  condition,  with 
a  minimum  of  members  in  arrears. 

The  Past  Masters',  Masters'  and  Wardens'  Association 
in  the  District  fulfills  a  worthwhile  function  and  the  mem- 
bers are  to  be  commended  on  the  work  that  has  been  and  is 
being  done  to  further  the  spirit  of  Freemasonry. 

During  my  year,  I  made  a  fraternal  visit  to  Prince 
Edward  District  and  witnessed  the  Dedication  Ceremony  of 
Craig  Lodge,  Deseronto.  I  also  attended  the  Installation  of 
Wor.  Bro.  John  Dargavel  as  Master  of  Grenville  Lodge, 
Toronto. 

Accompanied  by  my  wife,  I  attended  several  Ladies' 
Nights  in  the  District.  A  very  pleasant  time  was  enjoyed 
and  I  wish  to  compliment  the  Lodges  on  the  high  standard 
of  entertainment  provided. 

Finally,  I  want  to  thank  all  the  Lodges  for  their  co- 
operation "and  sympathetic  understanding  that  has  been 
accorded  me  by  the  members  throughout  the  District.

152     GRAND    LODGE   OF   CANADA   ANNUAL    COMMUNICATION 

OTTAWA  DISTRICT 

It  has  been  a  very  rewarding-  experience  for  me  to  serve 
as  District  Deputy  Grand  Master  and  represent  the  'Grand 
Master  in  this  his  home  district.  It  has  been  an  experience 
I  shall  always  cherish  and  remember  with  pleasure.  The 
cordial  and  gracious  reception  accorded  me  on  my  official 
and  fraternal  visits  is  sincerely  and  gratefully  acknowledged. 
It  is  my  wish  to  express  to  the  Masters,  Past  Masters, 
Officers  and  brethren  my  deep  appreciation  for  the  genuine 
kindness  of  their  greetings  wherever  I  visited. 

The  appointments  of  Wor.  Bro.  Roy  Lester  as  District 
Secretary,  Wor.  Bro.  Victor  Poland  as  Chairman  of  Masonic 
Education,  and  the  late  Rev.  Bro.  A.  H.  Sproule  as  District 
Chaplain,  proved  to  be  most  excellent  choices.  I  was  indeed 
very  sorry  at  the  death  of  Rev.  Bro.  Sproule.  I  then  ap- 
pointed Rt.  Wor.  Bro.  H.  H.  Dymond  as  Chaplain,  which  he 
served  with  dignity. 

Some  of  the  highlights  that  stand  out  in  my  mind  for 
this  year  are  September  5th  when  my  own  Lodge  honoured 
me,  September  30th  when  Dalhousie  Lodge,  the  Grand 
Master's  own  Lodge,  honoured  him,  and  November  30th,  when 
the  District  honoured  our  Grand  Master. 

Official  visitations  were  made  to  the  twenty-nine  Lodges. 
I  was  at  all  times  impressed  with  the  dignity  with  which  the 
Masters  of  each  Lodge,  assisted  by  Past  Masters  and  Officers, 
conferred  the  various  degrees.  I  was  also  grateful  to  observe 
the  self  assurance  with  which  some  members  participated. 

During  the  season  I  witnessed  all  three  degrees  and  am 
proud  to  report  that  the  standard  of  ritual  is  very  high.  I 
would  also  make  favourable  comment  regarding  the  care 
with  which  brethren  prepared  for  the  Felloweraft  and  Master 
Mason  Degrees.  It  indicated  that  our  brethren  have  a  real 
interest  in  assisting  their  fellows  in  the  inferior  degrees. 

One  of  the  highlights  of  the  year  was  the  Centennial 
Anniversary  of  Renfrew  Lodge,  No.  122,  which  was  observed 
by  a  Divine  Service,  Grand  Lodge  Officers  of  the  District 
conferring  a  Degree,  the  R.C.M.P.  degree  team  putting  on  a 
degree,  the  Past  Masters  of  Renfrew  Lodge  putting  on  a 
degree,  and  also  a  Banquet  with  Masons  and  their  wives 
attending,  at  which  our  Grand  Master,  C.  M.  Pitts,  was  guest 
speaker. 

This  District  enjoys  an  active  Past  Masters'  and  Wardens' 
Association  and  I  feel  this  Association  is  performing  an 
important  function  in  Masonry.  Meetings  are  well  attended 
and  valuable  information  is  derived  from  these. 


TORONTO,    ONTARIO,    1960  153 

371  members  have  contributed  blood  through  the  Red 
Cross  this  year  to  date.  This  has  been  a  year  of  transferring 
from  local  groups  to  the  Red  Cross  and  I  feel  this  is  gratify- 
ing. 

Our  Annual  District  Church  Services  were  held  again 
this  year — one  service  in  Ottawa  on  May  5th,  and  the  second 
on  May  29th  at  Arnprior. 

I  had  the  pleasure  of  addressing  the  Senior  Wardens. 
My  address  dealt  with  the  duties  of  the  Worshipful  Masters 
and  matters  of  Masonic  interest  for  the  good  of  the  District. 

I  would  indeed  be  remiss  if  I  did  not  mention  the  fine 
work  of  the  Secretaries  of  our  Lodges  and  their  co-operation 
throughout  the  year  at  all  times. 

The  Official  Visit  to  my  Mother  Lodge  was  a  night  I 
will  long  remember.  Every  Lodge  in  the  District  was  repre- 
sented as  well  as  twenty-seven  Masters,  also  visitors  from 
Quebec  District  on  the  other  side  of  the  Ottawa  River.  The 
Masters'  presentation  of  their  picture  is  sincerely  appreciated. 

The  many  "At  Homes"  held  by  the  various  Lodges  were 
most  thoroughly  enjoyed  by  the  District  Secretary,  our  wives 
and  myself.  The  friendly  and  sincere  manner  in  which  we 
were  received  on  every  occasion  was  most  warmly  appreciated. 

Our  Annual  District  Masonic  Ball  was  a  huge  success. 
Twenty  eight  Wor.  Masters  and  their  wives,  all  District 
Officers  and  their  wives  and  many  Grand  Lodge  Officers, 
past  and  present,  and  our  Grand  Master,  C.  M.  Pitts,  were 
all  present. 

It  is  with  regret  that  I  report  the  passing  of  a  number 
of  faithful  and  highly  respected  brethren.  In  many  instances 
Masonic  honours  were  observed  and,  whenever  it  was  possible, 
the  Grand  Master  and  I  were  present. 

I  am  most  happy  to  report  that  Masonry  in  this  District 
is  in  good  hands.  Ritualistic  work  in  all  Lodges  is  excellent, 
and  the  support  given  by  the  Past  Masters  deserves  mention. 
Members  are  eager  to  participate  and  their  contributions  are 
outstanding. 

The  Masters,  Officers  and  members  of  all  Lodges  have 
made  for  me  a  year  that  will  always  be  remembered.  The 
many  kindnesses  extended  to  me  are  deeply  appreciated 
and  it  is  my  sincere  hope  that  I  have,  in  some  small  way, 
strengthened  the  bond  of  friendship  among  the  Lodges  of 
this  Ottawa  District.

PETERBOROUGH  DISTRICT 

During  my  year  in  office  I  have  been  very  conscious  of 
my  debt  to  the  Masters  and  members  of  the  District  for  the 
honour  and  privilege  of  serving  them  as  District  Deputy 
Grand  Master  and  for  the  co-operation  they  have  given  me. 
I  am  also  grateful  to  the  able  Masons  who  have  filled  the 
District  offices  of  Secretary,  Chaplain  and  Supervisor  of 
Masonic  Education. 

I  have  received  a  warm  and  enthusiastic  welcome  from 
every  Lodge  in  the  District.  I  have  found  the  work  of  the 
Lodges  to  be  uniform  and  to  range  in  quality  from  good  to 
excellent.  I  have  found  the  Wor.  Masters  to  be  dedicated 
Masons  who,  with  the  help  of  their  Past  Masters,  are  train- 
ing the  junior  officers  in  such  a  way  that  the  continuity  of 
good  ritualistic  work  seems  to  be  assured.  I  have  been 
impressed  by  the  quality  of  the  candidates  I  have  met,  but 
I  have  found  the  usual  low  percentage  of  members  attending 
regular  meetings  especially  in  the  larger  Lodges.  Obviously 
there  is  no  easy  way  of  improving  attendance  but  I  think  it 
would  help  if  sponsors  of  candidates  would  assume  respons- 
ibility for  the  attendance  of  Masons  they  sponsor  for  at 
least  two  years  after  they  have  been  raised. 

I  am  also  very  concerned  about  the  absence  of  fire 
escapes  in  a  few  lodge  rooms  visited  and  I  recommend  that 
Grand  Lodge  take  immediate  action  to  prevent  a  major 
disaster  which  could  easily  take  place  under  present  con- 
ditions. 

My  District  Secretary,  Wor.  Bro.  S.  Jethro  Graham,  has 
accompanied  me  on  all  official  visits.  He  has  examined 
Auditors'  Reports  and  lodge  records  and  reports  favourably 
on  them.  He  has  also  been  ready  and  willing,  when  called 
upon,  to  share  his  Masonic  knowledge  and  experience  with  the 
brethren  visited. 

I  wish  also  to  commend  the  assistance  of  Wor.  Bro. 
Evan  Mcllraith,  District  Supervisor  of  Masonic  Education. 
He  has  accompanied  me  on  all  visits  and  has  conferred  in 
person  with  the  Chairmen  of  Lodge  Committees  on  Education. 
I  am  sure  they  found  his  counsel  most  helpful.  It  is  due  to 
men  of  his  calibre  that  Masonic  Education  has  an  important 
place  in  the  meetings  of  all  Lodges  in  the  District. 

During  his  term  of  office  as  District  Chaplain  Bro.  the 
Rev.  Gordon  S.  Maxwell  was  honoured  to  receive  the  Degree 
of  Doctor  of  Divinity  from  Queen's  University.  The  brethren 
of  the  District  join  me  in  congratulating  Dr.  Maxwell  on 
this  well-merited  honour.  The  Annual  District  Church 
Service  was  held  in  Dr.  Maxwell's  Church  where  the  brethren 
heard  an  outstanding  sermon  on  the  text,  "Let  There  Be 
Light". 


TORONTO,    ONTARIO,    1960  155 

Several  meetings  held  during-  the  year  are  worthy  of 
note. 

The  celebration  of  the  100th  Anniversary  of  Golden  Rule 
Lodge,  No.  126,  in  March  was  honoured  by  the  presence  of 
the  Grand  Master  who  gave  an  inspiring  address  on  the 
condition  of  Masonry. 

For  their  sixth  Anniversary  in  October  the  William 
James  Dunlop  Lodge,  No.  675,  invited  Past  Grand  Master 
Dunlop  to  be  present.  The  degree  was  exemplified  by  the 
Wor.  Masters  of  all  Lodges  of  which  Dr.  Dunlop  is  a  member. 

In  March,  Corinthian  Lodge,  No.  101,  invited  the  Wor. 
Masters  of  the  District  Lodges  to  visit  the  Lodge,  fill  the 
chairs  and  confer  the  E.A.  Degree.  The  many  District 
and  local  Masons  who  attended  were  enthusiastic  and  urged 
that  similar  meetings  be  an  annual  event  in  the  District. 

In  June  the  same  Lodge  gave  the  Past  D.D.G.M'S.  a 
chance  to  show  what  they  could  do  under  similar  conditions. 
I  commend  such  meetings  since  they  bring  the  Wor.  Masters 
of  the  District  together  as  friends  and  co-workers,  stimulate 
attendance  and  give  the  work  in  the  District  a  firm  basis 
for  uniformity. 

C.  S.  BROWNE,  D.D.G.M. 


PRINCE  EDWARD  DISTRICT 

It  has  been  a  very  rewarding  experience  for  me  to  serve 
as  the  D.D.G.M.  during  the  past  year.  The  esteem  and 
respect  for  the  Grand  Master  is  reflected  by  the  sincerity 
and  loyalty  accorded  me  by  the  cordial  and  gracious  reception 
by  the  seventeen  Lodges  in  the  District. 

I  appointed  Wor.  Bro.  Foster  Boulton  as  District  Secre- 
tary, Wor.  Bro.  Eric  Smith  as  District  Chaplain,  Wor.  Bro. 
Harold  Burke  as  Chairman  of  Masonic  Education  Committee, 
and  Wor.  Bro.  James  Pow,  Chairman  of  the  Blood  Donors' 
Committee.  I  am  especially  grateful  for  the  capable  as- 
sistance I  received  from  these  brethren  during  the  year. 
They  accompanied  me  on  almost  all  of  my  official  visits* 
and  to  a  number  of  special  nights  in  the  various  Lodges. 

It  was  a  great  pleasure  to  have  two  visits  to  the  District 
by  the  Grand  Master  during  my  term  of  office.  On  Dec- 
ember 7  the  lodge  room  of  Craig  Lodge,  No.  401,  Deseronto, 
was  dedicated  by  Most  Worshipful  Brother  C.  M.  Pitts, 
assisted  by  Rt.  Wor.  Bro.  George  McQueen  and  a  number  of 
present  and  past  Grand  Lodge  officers.  Then  on  March  17 
a   District    Reception    was    held   for   the   Grand   Master    in 


156      GRAND    LODGE    OF    CANADA    ANNUAL    COMMUNICATION 

Belleville  on  the  occasion  of  the  Centennial  of  The  Belleville 
Lodge,  No.  123.  Despite  inclement  weather  a  large  crowd 
was  present.  On  both  occasions  the  Grand  Master  addressed 
the  brethren  in  his  usual  inspiring  and  impressive  manner. 
The  Centennial  Committee  of  The  Belleville  Lodge  are  to  be 
congratulated  on  the  manner  in  which  they  observed  their 
centennial  year.  On  Sunday,  December  27,  a  Divine  Service 
was  held  in  the  lodge  room  for  the  members'  families  and 
friends.  Since  then  they  have  held  "Special  Nights"  which 
were  very  successful.  One  of  these  was  a  Senior  Wardens' 
Night  with  the  Grand  Senior  Warden,  Rt.  Wor.  Bro.  J.  J. 
Talman,  occupying  the  Masters'  chair  and  the  Senior  Wardens 
of  the  District  filling  the  other  offices.  I  regret  very  much 
that  this  evening  conflicted  with  my  schedule  which  called 
for  my  official  visit  to  Picton,  but  from  all  reports  the 
evening  was  very  successful. 

Early  in  the  fall  another  Special  Night  in  the  District 
was  arranged  by  Eureka  Lodge,  No.  283,  Belleville,  when  the 
Past  D.D.G.Ms.'  of  the  District  occupied  the  chairs  for  a 
First  Degree  with  Rt.  Wor.  Bro.  E.  C.  Wood  in  charge.  It 
was  a  pleasure  for  me  to  see  such  a  gathering  of  Past  Grand 
Lodge  officers  in  charge  and  to  know  that  I  had  such  a 
fine  group  of  Masons  available  to  call  on  for  advice  or 
assistance  if  the  occasion  ever  arose.  This  later  proved 
helpful  in  filling  in  for  the  Grand  Lodge  officers  who  could 
not  be  present  at  the  Dedication  Ceremonies  at  Deseronto. 

Many  Lodges  in  the  District  held  Ladies'  Nights  at  which 
my  wife  and  I  were  present,  along  with  the  District  officers 
and  their  wives,  which  afforded  a  splendid  opportunity  of 
associating  with  the  brethren  and  their  wives. 

The  District  Secretary  reports  that  he  found  the  books 
of  the  Lodges  in  good  condition  and  lodge  finances  healthy. 
A  number  of  Lodges  have  redecorated  their  premises  and 
Franck  Lodge,  No.  127,  is  well  along  with  its  building  and 
expect  to  be  in  its  new  premises  this  fall.  All  the  Lodges  are 
busy  with  work,  and  some  have  considerable  degree  work 
necessitating  a  number  of  emergent  meetings. 

The  appeal  for  the  "Remembrance  Memorial  Fund"  was 
made  to  all  the  Lodges  in  the  District.  The  Secretaries  tell 
me  that  all  the  contributions  are  not  in  yet  but  they  hope 
to  complete  them  by  the  end  of  June.  Three  Lodges  had  put 
on  a  drive  for  funds  to  reduce  the  mortgage  on  their  own 
new  buildings,  hence  I  felt  I  could  not  put  too  much  pressure 
on  them  at  present. 

The  Lodge  that  is  now  building  has  not  as  yet  had  to 
raise  a  mortgage  and  should  it  be  nceessary  it  will  not  be  for 
as  much  as  had  been  anticipated  earlier.  For  this  the  Lodge 
is  to  be  congratulated. 


TORONTO,    ONTARIO,    1960  157 

I  presented  a  number  of  Veteran  Jubilee  Medals  to 
brethren  in  the  District  and  special  mention  must  be  made 
of  the  presentation  of  a  Long-  Service  Medal  to  Wor.  Bro. 
Charles  Carter  by  the  Grand  Master  on  his  visit  to  Belleville 
in  March.  However,  the  pleasure  of  these  occasions  was 
tempered  by  the  number  of  Masonic  funerals  for  brethren 
who  passed  on  during  the  year  to  the  Grand  Lodge  Above. 

I  would  like  to  refer  at  this  time  to  the  Past  Masters', 
Masters',  and  Wardens'  Association  of  the  District  under  the 
capable  chairmanship  of  Wor.  Bro.  Ray  Grant,  assisted  by 
Rt.  Wor.  Bro.  R.  M.  Gunsolus,  the  Secretary-Treasurer.  It 
is  doing  excellent  work  and  is  filling  an  important  place  in 
Masonry. 

I  exchanged  visits  with  Rt.  Wor.  Bro.  Bruce  Caughey, 
D.D.G.M.  of  Frontenac  District,  on  the  occasion  of  the  Grand 
Masters'  Reception  in  each  of  our  Districts.  I  also  had  the 
pleasure  of  meeting  the  D.D.G.M.  from  St.  Lawrence  District, 
Rt.  Wor.  Bro  Harry  Trueman,  on  two  occasions,  and  also 
Rt.  Wor.  Bro.  Osborne  of  Ontario  District,  and  exchanged 
greetings  and  experiences  with  both  these  brethren. 

The  Chairman  of  the  Masonic  Education  Committee, 
Wor.  Bro.  Harold  Burke,  reports  that  the  various  Lodges 
have  found  time  to  include  more  Masonic  Education  at  their 
regular  meetings  and  have  discovered  a  few  very  capable 
members  among  the  rank  and  file,  well  qualified  to  give 
short  talks  along  with  the  regular  members  who  have  been 
doing  this  important  task  in  the  past. 

My  official  activities  of  the  year  concluded  on  June  5 
with  the  Annual  Divine  Service  held  in  King  Street  United 
Church,  Trenton.  The  District  Chaplain,  Wor.  Bro.  Eric 
Smith,  arranged  to  have  Very  Wor.  Bro.  Rev.  Robertson 
Millar,  Assistant  Grand  Chaplain,  attend  and  deliver  the 
Sermon;  Rev.  J.  T.  Irwin,  Minister  of  King  Street  United 
Church,  also  assisted.  It  was  fairly  well  attended  by  some 
two  hundred  Masons  from  the  Lodges  throughout  the  District. 

I  will  look  back  on  this  year  with  pleasant  memories  of 
the  friends  and  acquaintances  I  have  made  and  I  hope  in  a 
humble  way  that  I  have  contributed  something  for  the  good 
of  Masonry  in  this  District. 

L.  DOUGLAS  McMASTER,  D.D.G.M. 

SARNIA  DISTRICT 

The  past  year  has  been  a  very  rewarding  and  enjoyable 
one  and  a  wonderful  experience  for  me.  To  the  Masters, 
Officers   and   members    of    the    twenty-one    Lodges    of    the 


158     GRAND    LODGE    OF   CANADA    ANNUAL    COMMUNICATION 

District  who  made  it  so,  I  express  my  gratitude.  I  am 
particularly  grateful  to  the  District  Officers  who  so  ably 
assisted  me  during  the  year. 

Wor.  Bro.  Harold  Barnes,  who  served  me  as  my  Senior 
Warden  during  my  year  as  Master,  served  me  once  more, 
and  most  capably  as  District  Secretary.  He  accompanied 
me  on  all  my  official  visits,  attended  every  Divine  Service 
held  by  the  Lodges  of  the  District  and  performed  such  other 
duties  as  to  lighten  the  labours  of  this  office.  Brother  The 
Reverend  D.  St.  Clair  Campbell,  the  District  Chaplain,  in 
spite  of  the  demands  of  a  large  parish,  accompanied  me  on 
many  of  my  official  visits,  attended  the  Dedication  Services 
at  Watford  and  Thedford  and  conducted  a  most  excellent 
District  Divine  Service.  Wor.  Bro.  Leslie  Crooks,  Chairman 
of  Masonic  Education,  accompanied  me  on  most  visits  and 
was  particularly  attentive  to  his  educational  duties. 

I  officially  visited  each  of  the  twenty-one  Lodges,  when 
a  degree  was  either  conferred  or  exemplified.  I  am  pleased 
to  report  that  the  degree  work  is  of  a  high  standard  ranging 
from  very  good  to  excellent.  I  was  deeply  impressed  with 
the  sincerity  of  the  officers  taking  part  in  the  degree  work. 

Two  Lodges  of  Instruction  were  held  when  the  First 
and  Second  Degree  were  exemplified.  The  officers  were 
chosen  from  the  Junior  Officers  of  the  four  city  Lodges, 
the  two  Petrolia  Lodges  and  the  Lodges  at  Brigden,  Cam- 
lachie  and  Courtright.  Four  practice  sessions  were  held  and 
the  two  degrees  were  exemplified  at  Sarnia  under  the 
auspices  of  Tuscan  Lodge,  and  at  Strathroy  under  the 
auspices  of  the  Past  Masters'  and  Wardens'  Association  and 
Beaver  Lodge. 

The  majority  of  the  Lodges  held  Ladies'  Nights,  most  of 
which  Bro.  and  Mrs.  Barnes  and  Mrs.  Russell  and  I  were 
able  to  attend.  The  warm  welcome  and  hospitality  made 
these  visits  more  pleasant  and  added  to  the  enjoyment  of 
the  whole  year. 

Most  District  Lodges  held  Divine  Services  which  I 
attended  whenever  possible.  The  District  Divine  Service  was 
held  in  St.  Andrews  Presbyterian  Church  at  Sarnia  with 
approximately  two  hundred  brethren  in  attendance.  The 
District   Chaplain,  delivered  the   sermon. 

A  most  unique  event  highlighted  the  year's  activities 
when  M.W.  Bro.  Clarence  McLeod  Pitts  visited  the  Sarnia 
District  for  the  purpose  of  dedicating  the  lodge  rooms  at 
Watford  and  Thedford  and  of  attending  the  District  Recep- 
tion. Grand  Lodge  assembled  at  Watford  at  4  p.m.  and 
proceeded  to  dedicate  the  lods:e  room  of  Havelock  Lodge,  No. 
238.     The   District   Reception  was  held   in  the  Legion  Hall, 


TORONTO,    ONTARIO,    1960  159 

Thedford,  at  6.30  p.m.  An  overflow  crowd  of  approximately 
three  hundred  were  in  attendance.  At  8  p.m.,  Grand  Lodge 
reassembled  and  proceeded  to  dedicate  the  new  lodge  rooms 
of  Cassia  Lodge,  No.  116,  Thedford. 

In  conclusion,  may  I  express  my  sincere  appreciation  for 
the  honour  of  being  elected  to  the  office  of  D.D.G.M.  and  for 
the  wonderful  receptions  and  co-operation  I  received  during 
the  past  year.  The  many  friendships  which  I  have  made 
have  established  this  as  a  most  rewarding  year. 

HARRY   RUSSELL,   D.D.G.M. 


SOUTH  HURON  DISTRICT 

It  is  an  honour  for  me  to  submit  my  report  on  the 
condition  of  Masonry  in  South  Huron  District. 

First,  I  would  like  to  express  my  appreciation  to  the 
brethren  of  the  District  for  electing  me  to  the  office  of 
District  Deputy  Grand  Master. 

One  of  my  first  official  duties  was  to  appoint  Wor.  Bro. 
James  Feagan  as  my  District  Secretary.  On  each  of  our 
official  visits  he  received  a  report  from  each  Lodge. 

I  visited  all  of  the  seventeen  Lodges  in  the  District  once 
officially,  and  once  fraternally.  The  work  in  the  District,  as 
a  whole,  is  uniform  and  well  given.  Each  Lodge  shows  the 
keen  interest  and  skill  that  the  Masters  and  Officers  are 
putting  into  their  work.  Nearly  all  of  the  Lodges  have 
completed  their  exchange  visits  for  the  year.  It  was  a 
pleasure  to  have  Rt.  Wor.  Bro.  H.  Hill,  P.D.D.G.M.,  also  a 
member  of  Morning  Star  Lodge,  accompany  me  on  all  my 
official  visits. 

During  the  current  year  Lebanon  Forest  Lodge,  No.  133, 
Exeter,  celebrated  its  One  Hundredth  Anniversary,  one  of  the 
chief  functions  of  the  occasion  being  a  fine  banquet  at  which 
the  Grand  Master,  Most  Wor.  Bro.  C.  M.  Pitts,  gave  a  most 
impressive  message.  Lebanon  Forest  also  held  a  Church 
Service  in  connection  with  the  Anniversary  at  which  the 
Grand  Chaplain,  Rt.  Wor.  Bro.  Rev.  M.  G.  B.  Williams, 
delivered  a  very  instinctive  sermon. 

I  attended  two  Dedications  of  new  Lodges,  one  at  Inger- 
soll  in  the  Wilson  District,  and  one  at  Thedford  in  the  Sarnia 
District.  I  was  also  able  to  attend  St.  Lawrence  Lodge, 
Southampton,  Bruce  District,  when  they  celebrated  their 
Hundredth  Anniversary.  The  Most  Wor.  Bro.  C.  M.  Pitts, 
Grand  Master,  was  an  honoured  guest  and  speaker  on  this 
occasion.  Rt.  Wor.  Bro.  K.  Saxon  of  North  Huron  District 
and  I  had  two  exchange  visits. 


160     GRAND    LODGE   OF   CANADA   ANNUAL    COMMUNICATION 

The  District  Divine  Service  was  held  on  May  29  in  the 
Benmiller  United  Church  with  our  own  District  Chaplain, 
Wor.  Bro.  Rev.  E.  Moore  delivering'  an  inspiring  message. 
Many  of  the  Lodges  held  Church  Services  of  their  own,  some 
of  which  I  was  able  to  attend.  I  also  attended  two  other 
District  Church  Services,  one  in  the  Wilson  District  and  one 
in  the  London  District. 

In  January  of  this  year  I  had  the  privilege  of  initiating 
my  son  into  Masonry  in  my  own  Lodge,  Morningstar.  The 
offices  were  all  held  by  Past  Grand  Lodge  Officers;  also 
present  were  District  Deputies  C.  Sutherland,  London  Dis- 
trict, B.  McCall,  Wilson  District,  R.  Delong,  Bruce  District, 
and  Rt.  Wor.  Bro.  Irvine  of  the  Board  of  General  Purposes. 

The  Past  Masters'  Association  of  South  Huron  District 
held  a  Ladies'  Night  and  Banquet  at  Goderich  in  April  with 
the  majority  of  the  Lodges  in  the  District  well  represented. 

In  conclusion,  I  wish  to  pass  on  to  my  successor  the 
same  loyal  support  that  was  extended  to  me.  I  shall  always 
cherish  the  memory  of  the  many  courtesies  and  sincere 
expressions  of  welcome,  and  the  many  friends  I  had  the 
privilege  of  making  through  the  yeai-. 

WM.  G.  TREBLE,  D.D.G.M. 


ST.  LAWRENCE   DISTRICT 

For  me  to  have  had  the  privilege  to  serve  as  D.D.G.M. 
for  St.  Lawrence  District  has  indeed  been  a  wonderful 
experience,  and  may  I  express  my  appreciation  for  this 
distinguished  honour  that  was  bestowed  on  me. 

I  appointed  Wor.  Bro.  Arthur  James  Horton  as  my 
District  Secretary.  He  accompanied  me  on  my  official 
visits  and  informed  me  that  he  found  the  books  and  records 
of  the  Lodges  in  good  order. 

I  appointed  Bro.  Rev.  C.  K.  Mathewson  as  my  District 
Chaplain.  He  also  accompanied  me  on  my  official  visits. 
found  the  support  given  by  these  brethren  to  be  of  great 
value.  It  was  my  pleasure  to  appoint  Rt.  Wor.  Bro.  U.  ±.. 
Keene  as  District  Supervisor  of  Masonic  Education  and 
under 'his  chairmanship.  Masonic  Education  shows  a  very 
substantial  increase  this  year.  The  Blood  Donors  Committee 
also  showed  a  large  increase  under  the  District  Chairmanship 
of  Wor  Bro.  C.  E.  Marshall.  For  the  final  results  of  these 
two  Committees,  I  would  like  to  pay  tribute  to  Rt.  Wor. 
Bro.  0.  E.  Keene,  and  Wor.  Bro.  C.  E.  Marshall  for  their 
interest   and  support. 


TORONTO,    ONTARIO,    1960 


On  my  official  visits  to  the  19  Lodges,  I  was  impressed 
by  the  friendly  and  enthusiastic  reception  that  I  received, 
which  clearly  indicates  the  high  esteem  which  Masons  of  St. 
Lawrence  District  have  for  the  Grand  Master  and  Grand 
Lodge.  I  found  the  work  to  be  exemplified  in  a  very  im- 
pressive satisfactory  manner.  I  can  very  sincerely  say  that 
Masonry  in  this  District  is  in  a  healthy  condition.  *The  work, 
as  presented  by  the  Officers  and  the  quality  of  the  candidates 
being:  initiated,  speaks  well  for  the  future  of  the  fraternity. 

I  made  several  visits  to  Merrickville  Lodge,  No.  55, 
and  Evergreen  Lodge,  No.  209,  as  both  these  Lodges  had  the 
misfortune  in  1959  of  losing  their  lodge  rooms,  furniture  and 
records  by  fire.  I  am  very  pleased  to  report  that  the  re- 
construction of  Merrickville  Lodge  is  just  about  complete 
and  should  be  ready  for  dedication  in  the  fall  of  1960.  The 
brethren  of  Evergreen  Lodge  have  purchased  a  lot  in  the 
Village  of  Lanark,  and  are  starting  construction  of  a  new 
Temple  in  the  near  future. 

The  brethren  of  St.  Lawrence  District  were  saddened  by 
the  passing  to  the  Grand  Lodge  Above,  last  December  of  Rt. 
Wor.  Bro.  Rutherford  H.  Mcllquham,  who  down  through 
the  years  had  not  only  been  an  inspiration  to  the  brethren 
of  the  District,  but  also  to  the  brethren  of  Evergreen  Lodge 
whom  he  had  served  faithfully  for  so  many  years. 

On  May  15th,  our  Annual  District  Church  Service  was 
held  in  Trinity  United  Church,  Smiths  Falls.  Our  District 
Chaplain  gave  the  brethren  a  very  impressive  address,  there 
being  over  400  in  attendance. 

This  District  enjoys  an  active  Past  Masters'  and 
Wardens'  Association,  and  I  feel  this  Association  is  per- 
forming an  important  function  in  Masonry.  Meetings  are 
well  attended  and  valuable  information  is  derived  from  them. 
Its  Secretary,  Rt.  Wor.  Bro.  F.  Latham,  does  much  to  pro- 
mote this  Association  throughout  the  District. 

It  was  my  pleasure  to  be  present  at  Dedications  of  Craig 
Lodge,  No.  401,  Deseronto,  and  Farran-Ault  Lodge,  No.  256, 
Ingleside,  with  the  Grand  Master  officiating,  and  a  reception 
for  the  Grand  Master  in  the  Frontenac  District.  On  each 
occasion  the  Grand  Master  gave  an  inspiring  address. 

In  conclusion,  may  I  again  thank  the  brethren  for  their 
splendid  support  throughout  the  year.  I  shall  remember 
this  year  as  the  highlight  of  my  Masonic  career.

162      GRAND   LODGE  OF   CANADA   ANNUAL   COMMUNICATION 

ST.  THOMAS  DISTRICT 

It  has  been  a  very  rewarding-  experience  for  me  to  have 
served  as  District  Deputy  Grand  Master  in  the  St.  Thomas 
District  during  the  past  year. 

I  visited  each  Lodge  in  the  District  once  and  most  of 
them  twice.  A  degree  was  conferred  at  each  Official  Visit 
with  the  exception  of  one.  My  reception  in  all  Lodges  was 
gracious,  with  cordial  and  full  respect  accorded  on  all  oc- 
casions to  the  Grand  Master  and  Grand  Lodge. 

The  meetings  were  well  attended  by  members  and  visit- 
ing- brethren  and  degrees  were  exemplified  in  a  very  efficient 
and  impressive  manner.  I  was  pleased  with  the  capability 
and  the  sincerity  of  the  officers  of  the  various  Lodges  and 
with  the  high  calibre  of  the  work  which  was  uniform  through- 
out the  District  and  according  to  the  ritual.  This  is  evidence 
of  the  excellent  co-operation  among  Masters,  Past  Masters 
and  Officers  in  the  District. 

I  appointed  Wor.  Bro.  Jefferson  I.  Cuyler,  District  Secre- 
tary, Wor.  Bro.  Win.  A.  Cowie,  District  Chaplain,  and  Wor. 
Bro.  Alan  V.  Levack,  Supervisor  of  Masonic  Education. 
These  brethren  accompanied  me  on  my  Official  Visits  and 
carried  out  their  duties  in  a  most  capable  manner. 

The  books  and  records  of  all  Lodges  were  inspected  and 
were  found  to  be  well  kept  and  in  order.  The  financial 
picture  of  the  District  was  found  to  be  satisfactory.  The 
Secretaries  are  to  be  commended  for  the  manner  in  which 
they  perform  their  duties,  for  the  prompt  attention  given 
to  any  request  for  information  and  for  the  notices  regularly 
received. 

I  have  endeavoured  to  create  interest  and  to  stress  the 
importance  of  Masonic  Education  in  the  District.  I  am 
happy  to  report  that  every  Lodge  in  the  District  has_  an 
active  committee  for  the  advancement  of  Masonic  Education. 
Wor.  Bro.  Alan  V.  Levack.  Supervisor  of  Masonic  Education, 
conducted  an  agressive,  well  organized  programme  of  Masonic 
Education.  The  valuable  assistance  of  R.W.  Bro.  B.  B. 
Foster,  Chairman  of  Grand  Lodge  Committee  on  Masonic 
Education,  has  always  been  an  incentive  to  further  the  desire 
for  Masonic  Education  in  the  St.  Thomas  District. 

The  Centennial  Observance  of  Warren  Lodge,  No.  120, 
was  a  highlight  of  the  year.  The  observance  was  held  on 
Friday,  October  16,  1959.  The  Dedication  and  Investment  of 
Gold  Braid  was  performed  bv  the  late  M.W.  Bro.  Nelson  C. 
Hart,  P.G.M.,  assisted  by  Rt.  Wor.  Bro.  J.  J.  Talman,  Grand 
Senior  Warden.  I  was  also  happy  to  have  been  able  to 
assist  the  late  M.W.  Bro.  Nelson  C.  Hart  with  the  Dedication 


TORONTO,   ONTARIO,    1960  163 

Ceremony  of  Lome  Lodge,  No.  282,  Glencoe,  on  Saturday, 
November  14,  1959. 

The  Annual  St.  Thomas  District  Masonic  Divine  Service 
was  held  in  Knox  Presbyterian  Church  on  Sunday,  May  15, 
with  about  500  in  attendance.  A  very  inspiring1  sermon  was 
delivered  by  Rev.  Bro.  H.  S.  Rodney,  Minister  of  Knox  Church. 
At  the  social  gathering  following  the  Church  Service,  the 
speaker  was  Rt.  Wor.  Bro.  J.  J.  Talman,  Grand  Senior 
Warden.  The  speaker  was  introduced  by  V.  Wor.  Bro.  G.  A. 
Shields,   Assistant   Grand  Chaplain. 

The  Past  Masters'  and  Wardens'  Association  held  two 
meetings  during  the  year.  The  Association  gives  real  leader- 
ship in  the  District.  After  the  Annual  Fish  Dinner  sponsored 
by  St.  Mark's  Lodge,  Port  Stanley,  on  May  30,  their  annual 
business  was  conducted  at  which  time  Wor.  Bro.  Arthur  F. 
Tilden  was  elected  President.  The  speaker  of  the  evening 
was  V.  Wor.  Bro.  G.  A.  Shields,  Assistant  Grand  Chaplain. 

The  spirit  of  fraternalism  was  encouraged  by  the  form- 
ation of  the  1959  Masters'  Association  with  Wor.  Bro.  A.  V. 
Levack  as  Chairman.  Several  fraternal  visits  were  made  in 
the  District  and  degrees  were  conferred. 

The  Ladies'  Nights  held  by  the  various  Lodges  of  the 
District  were  thoroughly  enjoyed  by  my  wife  and  myself. 
The  friendly  and  sincere  manner  in  which  we  were  received 
on  every  occasion  was  appreciated. 

Several  of  the  Lodges  in  the  District  have  recently 
/enovated  and  redecorated  their  premises  and  deserve  com- 
mendation for  their  efforts. 

It  was  interesting  to  note  that  Wor.  Bro.  Bert  Lynes, 
who  has  faithfully  filled  the  various  offices  of  St.  David's 
Lodge,  No.  302,  St.  Thomas,  is  now  enjoying  a  successful 
year  as  Worshipful  Master  of  the  lodge  in  his  77th  year. 

The  following  brethren,  members  of  St.  Thomas  Lodge, 
No.  44,  were  awarded  a  Sixty  Year  Pin  in  recognition  of 
sixty  years  of  service:  V.  Wor.  Bro.  R.  W.  Johnson,  Bro. 
(Dr!)  J.  D.  Curtis  and  Bro.  George  Giles. 

In  conclusion,  may  I  report  that  the  condition  of  Masonry 
in  St.  Thomas  District  is  satisfactory  and  in  a  progressive 
state.  For  the  assistance  and  co-operation,  which  was  always 
evident,  I  am  sincerely  grateful.  To  have  had  the  privilege 
of  serving  the  St.  Thomas  District  has  been  a  great  inspir- 
ation to  me  and  I  express  my  sincere  appreciation. 

NORMAN  E.  ROLLING,  D.D.G.M. 


164     GRAND    LODGE   OF   CANADA   ANNUAL    COMMUNICATION 

TEMISKAMING  DISTRICT 

I  submit  herewith  the  report  for  Temiskaming  District 
for  the  Masonic  year  1959-60. 

I  appointed  W.  Bro.  L.  II.  Netherton  as  my  District 
Secretary.  The  capable  manner  in  which  he  carried  out  his 
duties  fulfilled  my  expectations  and  I  am  most  grateful  for 
the  assistance  he  rendered.  I  also  appointed  R.W.  Bro.  W.  J. 
Hill  as  Supervisor  of  Masonic  Education,  Bro.  Rev.  G.  H. 
Tranter  as  District  Chaplain,  and  W.  Bro.  K.  Redden  as 
District  Chairman  of  the  Blood  Donors'  Committee  and  wish 
to  thank  all  these  brethren  for  the  manner  in  which  they 
performed  their  respective  tasks. 

During  the  course  of  the  year,  I  visited  all  Lodges  in  the 
District  and  observed  their  work  and  functioning.  The  warmth 
and  hospitality  with  which  I  was  received  on  all  occasions 
was  much  appreciated.  I  found  the  work  well  presented  in 
all  the  Lodges  and  it  appeared  to  be  uniform.  This  uni- 
formity is  probably  due  in  a  large  measure  to  the  Lodges  of 
Instruction  held  in  recent  years  and  to  the  many  inter-lodge 
visitations  which  take  place  in  this  District.  I  was  greatly 
impressed  by  the  pride  which  the  brethren  of  all  Lodges  are 
takinpr  in  their  lodge  facilities.  Practically  every  Lodge  had 
recently  .made  improvements  to  their  lodge  rooms  and  build- 
ings and  several  are  planning  further  improvements  as  funds 
are  available. 

Among  the  special  events  which  I  attended  during  the 
year  was  the  dedication  of  an  organ  in  their  lodge  room  by 
the  members  of  Doric  and  Corinthian  Lodges  of  Kirkland 
Lake.  This  was  a  most  fitting  tribute  to  the  memory  of  R.W. 
Bro.  Clarence  H.  Telfer,  who  contributed  much  to  Masonry  in 
this  District.  I  also  had  the  pleasure  of  presenting  a  Veteran 
Jubilee  Medal  to  Bro.  Seigel  Buckberrough,  a  faithful  member 
of  Englehart  Lodge.  As  all  of  the  Lodges  in  this  District  are 
comparatively  young,  there  have  been  few  of  the  members 
who  have  achieved  this  distinction  up  to  the  present  time. 

Two  District  Church  Services  were  held;  one  for  the 
southern  part  of  the  District  in  St.  Paul's  Presbyterian 
Church,  Englehart,  on  May  29th,  conducted  by  Bro.  Rev.  J. 
R.  Cousens,  one  of  our  newer  members;  and  one  for  the 
northern  part  in  the  United  Church,  South  Porcupine,  on 
June  5th,  conducted  by  Bro.  Rev.  George  Brown.  As  we  were 
unfortunate  in  losing  the  services  of  our  District  Chaplain, 
who  moved  from  our  area  at  the  end  of  March,  I  am  partic- 
ularly grateful  to  Bros.  Cousens  and  Brown  for  willingly  arid 
capably  conducting  these  Services.  Local  Services  were  also 
held  by  all  Lodges.  Although  attendance  at  all  Services  was 
comparatively  good,  it  is  unfortunate  to  note  how  many 
brethren  consistently  make  no  effort  to  be  present  at  such 


TORONTO,    ONTARIO,    1960  1G5 

Services.  It  is  safe  to  assume  that  they  are  the  same  brethren 
who  absent  themselves  from  the  regular  lodge  meetings. 

On  the  occasion  of  my  official  visit  to  Golden  Beaver 
Lodge,  Timmins,  I  was  apprised  of  a  movement  under  way 
for  the  formation  of  a  second  Lodge  in  that  community,  due 
to  its  growth  and  the  increasing  number  of  new  members 
being  received.  If  and  when  the  new  Lodge  comes  into  being, 
I  am  sure  that  all  Lodges  in  the  District  will  wish  them 
success  and  give  every  support. 

I  was  fortunate  in  the  fact  that  I  was  not  confronted 
with  any  major  problems  during  the  year  and  I  think  this 
speaks  well  for  the  harmony  which  exists  among  and  within 
the  Lodges  of  the  District. 

In  conclusion,  I  wish  to  express  my  appreciation  of  the 
useful  instruction  given  at  the  outset  of  the  term  by  M.W. 
Bros.  Dunlop  and  Martyn,  and  also  to  the  brethren  of  Temisk- 
aming  District  for  their  support  and  co-operation  throughout 
the  year,  all  of  which  made  my  task  much  easier.  I  would 
thank,  in  particular,  the  brethren  of  Englehart  Lodge,  of 
whom  there  were  always  several  accompanied  me  on  every 
occasion  to  lend  moral  support. 

To  have  served  as  D.D.G.M.  for  Temiskamine  has  been 
of  special  significance  to  me  in  that  my  late  father  served 
in  the  same  capacity  some  35  years  ago.  I  have  found  the 
experience  most  enjoyable  and  instructive  and  hope  that  the 
knowledge  I  have  gained  will  enable  me  to  make  a  greater 
contribution  to  Masonry  in  the  days  to  come. 

D.  J.  PATERSON,  D.D.G.M. 


TORONTO  DISTRICT  "A  1" 

In  assembling  a  report  on  the  many  activities  of  this 
very  important  year  as  District  Deputy  Grand  Master,  it  is 
evident  that  one  cannot  hope  to  cover  adequately  all  the 
happy  and  pleasant  events  which  took  place  during  the  year. 

The  cordial  and  gracious  reception  extended  in  each 
Lodge  is  evidence  of  the  high  esteem  and  affection  the  Masons 
of  this  District  have  for  the  Grand  Master  and  Grand  Lodge. 

The  many  duties  were  greatly  lightened  by  the  following 
brethren,  who  so  willingly  accepted  the  responsibility  of  the 
various  phases  of  the  work.  W.  Bro.  Harold  W.  Dunton, 
District  Secretary;  Bro.  The  Rev.  George  A.  W.  Lark,  District 
Chaplain;  W.  Bro.  William  A.  Stewart  and  W.  Bro.  Edward 
H.  Smith,  Chairman  and  Secretary  of  the  District  Committee 
on  Masonic  Education,  and  W.  Bro.  W.  A.  Campbell,  Chairman 


166      GRAND    LODGE    OF   CANADA    ANNUAL    COMMUNICATION 

of  the  Blood  Donors'  Committee.     To  these  capable  brethren 
must  be  given  credit  for  a  very  successful  year. 

Early  in  the  year  the  District  was  deeply  grieved  by  the 
passing  of  R.W.  Bro.  Smith  Shaw,  Honorary  Member  of  the 
Board  of  General  Purposes.  His  leadership  and  devotion  to 
Masonry  will  long  be  an  inspiration  to  all  who  were  privileged 
to  know  him. 

In  company  with  the  District  Secretary,  I  visited  each 
of  the  nineteen  Lodges  in  the  District  and  was  impressed 
with  the  high  quality  of  the  work  in  all  the  degrees  and  the 
sincerity  of  all  who  took  part.  It  was  gratifying  to  find  a 
number  of  members  from  the  body  of  the  Lodge  taking  part 
in  the  ceremonies.  This  augers  well  for  the  quality  of  the 
officers  of  the  future.  The  District  Secretary  reports  the 
records  and  finances  of  the  Lodges  are  in  good  condition  and 
the  Lodge  Secretaries  and  Treasurers  are  to  be  commended 
for  the  care  taken  in  maintaining  the  records  of  the  Lodges. 

The  District  Chaplain,  Rector  of  St.  Paul's  Church, 
Runnymede,  gave  splendid  leadership  and  arranged  and  con- 
ducted, in  his  own  Church,  a  most  successful  District  Divine 
Service  on  Sunday,  March  27th,  and  delivered  a  very  inspiring 
sermon.  We  were  honoured  by  the  presence  of  M.W.  Bro. 
Harry  L.  Martyn,  Past  Grand  Master,  and  R.  Wor.  Bro.  Rev. 
M.  G.  B.  Williams,  Grand  Chaplain,  both  of  whom  assisted  in 
the  Service.  Many  Lodges  in  the  District  held  Divine 
Services  in  which  I  was  privileged  to  assist. 

The  District  Committee  on  Masonic  Education,  with  the 
active  support  of  the  Wardens'  Association,  conducted  an 
outstanding  program  at  the  District  Annual  Education  Night 
in  Annette  Street  Temple  on  December  28th,  when  the 
subject  for  the  evening  was  "Symbolism  of  the  First  Degree". 
We  were  joined  by  Toronto  District  "A-2"  on  this  occasion, 
and,  in  return,  united  with  them  on  their  Annual  Night  in 
College  Street  Temple,  on  March  30th.  Several  Lodges 
arranged  full  evening  programs  on  Masonic  Education  in  their 
own  Lodges.  All  Lodges  have  Committees  on  Masonic  Educ- 
ation and,  in  most  of  the  Lodges,  on  the  night  of  my  Official 
Visit,  short,  well  prepared  talks  were  given.  In  some  Lodges 
a  talk  is  given  at  all  regular  and  some  emergent  meetings. 
The  bulletins  issued  by  Grand  Lodge  were  sent  to  all  Lodges. 
The  District  is  again  indebted  to  R.  Wor.  Bro.  Molson  C. 
Cain  for  his  very  generous  assistance  in  the  work  of  Masonic 
Education. 

The  Blood  Donors'  Committee  Chairman  was  very  active 
during  the  year  and  most  successful  in  reviving  many  of  the 
various  lodge  committees  and  in  enlisting  the  members  in 
this  most  important  cause. 

We  were  honoured,  in  conjunction  with  Districts  "A-2" 
and  "C"  to  tender  a  reception  on  March   3rd,  in  Yonge  St. 


TORONTO,    ONTARIO,    1960  167 

Temple,  to  the  Grand  Master,  M.  Wor.  Bro.  C.  M.  Pitts,  who 
delivered  a  most  inspirational  address  to  over  400  members 
in  attendance.  Early  in  the  year  I  was  privileged  to  be 
present  at  a  reception  tendered  our  Grand  Master  by  Kilwin- 
ning Lodge  when  he  was  made  an  Honorary  Membe'r  of  that 
Lodge. 

I  visited  many  of  the  Lodges  on  special  occasions  and 
had  the  pleasure  of  attending  River  Park  Lodsre,  Streetsville, 
when  the  Worshipful  Master,  W.  Bro.  W.  F.  Fogg  presented 
his  father  R.  Wor.  Bro.  G.  R.  Fogg.  P.D.D.G.M.  of  the  Grand 
Lodge  of  Saskatchewan  with  the  Fiftieth  Anniversary  Cer- 
tificate, Pin  and  Scroll,  on  behalf  of  the  Grand  Lodge  of 
Saskatchewan  and  River  Park  Lodsre  in  honour  of  R.  Wor. 
Bro.  Fogg's  fifty  years  as  a  member  of  the  Craft. 

Mrs.  Rowe  and  I  were  happy  to  be  guests  at  several 
"Ladies'  Nights"  and  resrret  we  were  unable  to  accept  all 
the  kind  invitations  extended  to  us. 

The  appeal  for  the  "Remembrance  Memorial  Building 
Fund"  is  being  well  received  and  I  am  sure  many  of  the 
brethren  will  welcome  the  opportunity  of  participating  in  the 
erection  of  this  "Remembrance  Memorial  Building". 

There  were  many  pleasant,  personal  experiences  during 
the  year,  which  will  long  be  happy  memories  of  a  very  out- 
standing year  in  my  Masonic  life. 

To  the  officers  and  members  of  all  the  Lodges  in  the 
District,  I  tender  my  sincere  thanks  for  a  very  successful 
year  and  congratulate  them  on  their  honest  endeavour  to 
present  Masonry  in  a  manner  that  will  reflect  honour  on  the 
Craft  and  on  themselves. 

EDWIN  A.   ROWE,   D.D.G.M. 

TORONTO  DISTRICT  "A-2" 

To  have  acted  as  the  representative  of  the  Grand  Master 
in  Toronto  District  "A-2"  has  been  a  distinct  pleasure  and 
a  most  heart-warming  experience.  No  one  could  have  wished 
for  a  more  gracious  reception  than  that  which  I  received  in 
every  Lodge  in  the  District  where  I  found  that  the  high  re- 
gard in  which  our  Grand  Master  is  held  is  something:  that 
has  been  merited  by  his  own  exemplification  of  Masonic 
ideals. 

The  Lodges  give  careful  attention  to  the  teachings  and 
principles  of  our  Order  and  the  conferring  of  the  various 
degrees  was  meticulous  and  a  treat  to  behold.  The  conveying 
of  the  message  of  Masonry  to  the  candidates  seemed  to  be 
of  primary  concern,  a  tribute  to  the  Masonic  ideal. 


168      GRAND   LODGE   OF    CANADA  ANNUAL    COMMUNICATION 


The  officers  of  each  Lodge  are  imbued  with  the  spirit  of 
Masonry  to  such  an  extent  that  the  future  of  our  Order 
is  certainly  assured.  Without  exception,  the  candidates 
were,  in  my  opinion,  of  a  calibre  that  Masonry  demands. 

I  was  fortunate  indeed  to  have  as  District  Seci-etary, 
Wor.  Bro.  George  Cargill,  who  carried  out  his  duties  in  a 
careful,  painstaking  manner.  His  assistance  greatly  helped 
me  in  the  carrying  out  of  my  duties,  and  I  am  sure  that 
his  work  at  the  Secretaries'  desks  was  profitable  to  all 
concerned. 

Masonic  Education  in  the  Lodges  of  the  District  is  of 
prime  importance,  and  it  pleased  me  immensely  to  hear  the 
various  themes  given  by  carefully  chosen  brethren.  The  rapt 
attention  given  to  the  subjects  was  indicative  of  healthy 
interest. 

Masonic  Education  at  district  level  is  kept  on  a  high 
plane,  and  the  Education  Committee  of  Districts  "A-l"  and 
"A-2"  worked  very  closely  together.  District  "A-l"  held  an 
Education  Night  in  Annette  St.  Temple  which  was  well 
attended,  and  our  own  Education  Night,  under  the  Chairman- 
ship of  W.  Bro.  H.  E.  Wilson,  was  held  in  the  College  Street 
Temple  where  again  the  attendance  was  good  and  the  sub- 
jects were  excellently  presented  by  Rt.  W.  Bros.  Molson  Cain 
and  Cleeve  Hooper,  assisted  by  the  Wardens  of  Districts 
"A-l"  and  "A-2". 

Early  in  my  term  I  appointed  three  capable  speakers 
and  circularized  the  Lodges  to  the  effect  that  I  hoped  they 
would  make  use  of  the  services  of  these  brethren.  It  is  my 
pleasure  to  report  that  they  were  kept  busy,  not  only  in 
District  "A-2",  but  in  other  Districts  as  well.  The  members 
of  the  panel  were,  W.  Bro.  H.  E.  Wilson,  Occident  Lodge,  W. 
Bro.  Walter  Sills,  Fidelity  Lodge,  and  the  District  Chaplain, 
Bro.  Rev.  Gordon  Smyth,  Melita  Lodge.  To  these  brethren  I 
express  my  thanks. 

The  large  attendances  at  Lodges  on  the  occasion  of  my 
visits  were  most  heartening-  and  invariably  I  was  accompanied 
by  some  of  the  members  of  District  "A-2"  Education  Com- 
mittee, a  real  gratifying  gesture.  Inter-lodge  visits  were 
also  the  rule,  usually  two  or  three  Lodges  being  present. 
This  augurs  well  for  friendship  in  the  District  and  is  a  most 
pleasing  aspect.  On  one  occasion,  in  the  absence  of  the 
District  Secretary,  I  was  accompanied  by  a  very  well-skilled 
Mason,  V.W.  Bro.  Alex  Braidwood,  Secretary  of  Sunnylea 
Lodge,  and  his  assistance  was  greatly  appreciated. 

The  Masonic  Church  Service  on  Palm  Sunday  was  well- 
attended  and  we  were  gratified  indeed  to  have  M.  Wor  Bro. 


TORONTO,    ONTARIO,    1960  169 

Harry  L.  Martyn  in  attendance  with  us  and  he,  along  with 
Rt.  Wor.  Bro.  Ed.  A.  Rowe,  took  part  in  the  Service. 

On  three  occasions  I  was  privileged  to  present  50-Year 
Medals  and  was  present  at  the  presentation  of  five  others. 

One  of  my  earliest  official  appointments  was  W.  Bro. 
Merv.  Buckingham  of  Transportation  Lodge  as  Chairman  of 
the  Blood  Donors'  Committee  and  he  reports  to  me  that  this 
meritorious  objective  is  beginning  to  show  good  results. 

It  was  my  very  happy  privilege  to  be  present  at  the 
reception  to  our  Grand  Master,  M.W.  Bro.  C.  McLeod  Pitts, 
in  Davenport  Temple  on  March  3rd.  This  large  gathering 
of  Masons  was  amply  repaid  for  their  attendance  by  the 
gracious  manner  and  timely  message  of  our  Grand  Master. 
The  Committep  of  this  combined  effort  of  Districts  "A-l", 
"A-2",  and  "C",  under  the  Chairmanship  of  W.  Bro.  Dave 
Forrester,  are  to  be  highly  complimented  on  a  beautiful 
and  interesting  evening. 

It  was  a  distinct  honour  to  me  to  institute  a  new  Lodsce 
at  Weston  on  Wednesday,  March  30th, — The  Lodge  of  the 
Pillars — and  I  was  ably  assisted  by  present  and  Past  Grand 
Lodge  Officers. 

The  Grand  Master's  Remembrance  Memorial  Fund  Pro- 
ject has  been,  in  a  large  measure,  brought  to  the  attention 
of  all  the  Lodges  in  the  District  and  should  have  gratifying 
results  from  the  keen  interest  evinced. 

The  problem  of  parking  facilities  at  the  various  Temples 
is  one  that  concerns  all  members  and  this,  along  with 
problems  of  transportation,  is  one  that  could  very  well  take 
up  the  attention  of  Lodges  in  the  whole  Metropolitan  Area. 

Again  I  re-iterate  my  heartfelt  thanks  for  having  been 
accorded  the  privilege  of  representing  our  Grand  Master  in 
Toronto  District  "A-2". 

JOHN  URQUHART,  D.D.G.M. 


TORONTO  DISTRICT  "B-l" 

It  has  been  a  privilege  to  have  served  my  brethren  of 
Toronto  District  "B-l"  as  the  representative  of  the  Most 
Worshipful  the  Grand  Master.  The  cordial  and  gracious 
reception  given  to  me  in  all  the  fifteen  Lodges  evinced  the 
loyalty  and  esteem  of  the  brethren  for  the  Grand  Master  and 
Grand  Lodge. 


170      GRAND    LODGE    OF   CANADA    ANNUAL    COMMUNICATION 

The  appointment  of  W.  Bro.  Clarence  E.  Leek  as  District 
Secretary  brought  the  business  experience  which  proved  so 
valuable  and  necessary  in  reviewing  the  records  and  financial 
reports  of  the  Lodges.  His  thorough  examination  into  records 
of  the  various  Lodges  enabled  me  to  make  useful  and 
accurate  comments  when  I  summarized  the  findings  to  the 
brethren. 

Degree  work  was  conferred  by  every  Lodge  in  the 
District  on  the  evening  of  my  official  visit,  and  the  work  on 
each  occasion  was  exemplified  in  an  able,  impressive  and 
uniform  manner.  I  found  the  Masters  and  officers  well 
skilled,  and  ably  assisted  by  the  Past  Masters,  who  truly  are 
the  guiding  light  of  every  Lodge.  It  was  a  distinct  pleasure 
to  commend  the  Officers,  Past  Masters,  and  brethren,  at  the 
close  of  the  degree  work. 

During  the  year  two  Masonic  Educational  meetings  were 
held  (one  in  each  District)  under  the  joint  Chairmanship  of 
W.  Bro.  William  Evanson,  Past  Master  of  Bay  of  Quinte 
Lodge,  District  "B-l"  and  W.  Bro.  Stanley  Cecil,  Past  Master 
of  Dentonia  Lodge,  District  "B-2".  These  brethren  were 
ably  assisted  by  W.  Bro.  H.  Smart  of  the  Beaches  Lodge  and 
W.  Bro.  L.  Beek  of  Wexford  Lodge,  who  acted  as  secretaries 
for  the  respective  District  Educational  Chairman.  The  man- 
ner of  holding  joint  meetings  with  the  brethren  of  District 
"B-2"  once  more  proved  popular  and  very  successful.  Both 
meetings  were  well  attended.  The  Chairmen  and  Secretaries, 
together  with  all  members  of  the  Educational  Committee, 
deserve  our  sincere  appreciation  and  thanks. 

Early  in  mv  year,  I  had  the  pleasure  of  addressing  the 
Masters'  and  Wardens'  of  the  combined  Districts.  This  op- 
poi*tunity  enabled  me  to  outline  my  program  for  the  ensuing 
year  and  at  the  same  time  to  offer  enlightenment  on  several 
controversial  ritual  problems.  This  address,  as  well  as 
addresses  on  the  occasion  of  each  official  visit,  were  meant 
to  be  for  the  good  of  Masonry  in  the  District. 

Early  in  November  of  1959  we  were  saddened  with  the 
sudden  passing  of  R.W.  Bro.  John  Ness.  Although,  I  am 
aware  that  his  passing  will  receive  suitable  recognition  from 
the  Chairman  of  the  Fraternal  Dead,  I  feel  that  as  he  had 
served  as  a  Past  Master  of  Caledonia  Lodge,  and  as  a  Past 
D.D.G.M.  of  Toronto  District  "B",  I  should  make  some  com- 
ment in  my  District  Report. 

R.W.  Bro.  Ness  was  an  Honourary  Member  of  the  Board 
of  General  Purposes  of  Grand  Lodge.  His  work  and  prowess 
as  a  writer  were  known  to  Masons  across  Canada.  His  contri- 
bution to  the  welfare  of  fellow  Masons  in  his  beloved  District, 
to  those  in  this  Grand  Jurisdiction,  and  indeed  throughout  all 
Canada  will  long  be  remembered,  and  his  going  from  us  has 
been  an  inestimable   loss. 


TORONTO,    ONTARIO,    1960  171 

"To  live  in  the  hearts  of  those  you  leave  behind  is  not 
to  die." 


It  was  my  happy  privilege  to  attend  several  Church 
Services  held  by  Lodges  in  our  District.  On  these  occasions 
I  was  called  upon  to  read  the  lesson.  On  March  21st,  our 
Annual  Church  Service  was  held  in  Leaside  United  Church. 
Bro.  Eeverend  Charles  Murray,  the  District  Chaplain  and 
Minister  of  Leaside  United  Church,  conducted  the  Service. 
R.W.  Bro.  Henry  Saunders,  D.D.G.M.  of  District  "B-2"  and  I 
had  the  pleasure  of  assisting  in  the  Service.  Bro.  Reverend 
Charles  Murray  delivered  an  inspiring  address  to  over  350 
attentive  Masons.  It  was  truly  the  highlight  of  my  year  as 
D.D.G.M.  and  a  credit  to  Masonry  in  general. 

It  has  become  increasingly  evident  that  something  must 
be  done  to  alleviate  the  critical  lack  of  lodge  room  accom- 
modation in  all  the  Toronto  Districts.  I  sincerely  believe 
that  if  lodge  dues  were  brought  up  to  a  more  realistic  figure, 
sufficient  reserves  could  be  accumulated,  so  when  the  need 
arises  funds  would  be  available  for  the  purpose  of  building 
new  Temples  and  maintaining  some  of  our  present  Temples 
in  better  condition.  I  would  strongly  recommend  that  ail 
Lodges  give  serious  consideration  to  this  important  matter. 

It  was  my  pleasure  to  attend  many  fraternal  visits  in 
addition  to  the  official  ones.  Mrs.  Arthur,  Mrs.  Leek,  the 
District  Secretary  and  I  enjoyed  the  privilege  of  attending 
the  many  Ladies'  Nights  held  by  the  Lodges  in  our  District. 
Such  meetings  do  much  to  exemplify  the  finer  aspects  of 
Brotherly  Love,  the  time  meaning  of  Masonic  Character. 

Richardson  Lodge,  No.  136,  Stouffville,  will  be  100  years 
old  on  June  16th  of  this  year.  Plans  are  already  under  way 
for  our  Grand  Master  to  assist  in  the  celebrations  on  the  28th 
of  September.    We  wish  them  every  success  for  the  future. 

To  conclude  this  report,  I  would  express  my  opinion  that 
the  condition  of  Masonry  in  the  fifteen  Lodges  comprising 
Toronto  District  "B-l"  is  excellent.  At  this  time  I  wish  to 
commend  the  Past  Masters  of  the  District  for  their  untiring 
efforts  to  assist  the  officers  and  brethren  of  our  District  in 
their  endeavours  to  make  meetings  more  interesting.  The 
many  kindnesses  extended  to  me  are  deeply  appreciated,  and 
it  is  my  hope  that  in  some  small  measure  that  I  have  been 
successful  in  maintaining  the  high  spirit  of  Masonry  in  our 
District. 

T.  JOHN  ARTHUR,  D.D.G.M. 


172      GRAND    LODGE   OF    CANADA    ANNUAL    COMMUNICATION 

TORONTO  DISTRICT  "B-2" 

Last  July  when  Most  Worshipful  Brother  W.  J.  Dunlop, 
P.G.M.,  was  addressing-  the  newly  elected  District  Deputy 
Grand  Masters,  I  had  the  feeling  of  incompletion.  We  had 
reached  the  end  of  a  certain  period;  we  felt  that  we  were  just 
at  the  beginning-  of  a  new  ore.  This  feeling  seemed  to  be  a 
reflection  of  the  real  meaning  of  the  science  of  Masonry, 
that  nothing  is  ever  completed,  but  ever  completing.  I 
approached  my  duties,  therefore,  with  the  sense  that  there 
was  much  to  be  learned,  and  with  the  hope  that  in  some  way 
I  mig-ht  make  a  contribution  for  the  good  of  the  Craft. 

I  must  give  thanks  to  Et.  Wor.  Bro.  Robert  Elsie  and  V.W. 
Bro.  James  Meek  for  their  advice  and  for  the  useful  inform- 
ation supplied,  to  M.W.  Bro.  Harry  L.  Martyn,  Custodian  of 
the  Work,  for  his  advice  and  guidance  which  gave  assurance 
that  the  year  ahead  could  be  a  very  happy  one.  This  has 
been  proven,  for  my  year  as  District  Deputy  Grand  Master 
was  a  very  desirable  experience.  It  was  rich  in  friendship 
and  a  pleasant,  gratifying  and  thrilling  experience. 

The  appointment  of  W.  Bro.  Linwood  Lloyd,  as  District 
Secretary,  brought  to  the  position  46  years  of  Masonic  know- 
ledge and  experience,  as  well  as  years  of  business  experience. 
His  advice,  efficiency  and  his  long  association  with  the  Lodges 
in  the  District  added  greatly  to  the  success.  His  reports  on 
the  condition  of  the  records  and  accounts  of  the  various 
Lodges  indicated  the  efficiency  with  which  the  Secretaries 
and  Treasurers  were  carrying  out  their  respective  duties. 

The  Installation  Ceremonies  of  the  Lodges  were  observed 
with  competence  and  dignity.  In  every  Lodge  there  was  an 
air  of  confidence  among  the  members  that  the  right  man 
had  been  chosen  to  fill  his  respective  office.  The  officers 
were  enthusiastic;  they  obviously  were  facing  the  coming 
year  with  confidence  and  a  willingness  to  do  their  best. 

At  the  inspection  of  each  Lodge,  the  work  was  carried 
out  with  commendable  deportment.  The  officers  displayed 
considerable  self-reliance  and  knowledge  in  their  work.  They, 
and  those  members  assisting,  performed  their  various  duties 
with  pride  and  efficiency.  In  each  Lodge  the  members,  or 
side-benchers,  as  we  often  describe  them,  gave  excellent 
support  to  the  Master  and  his  officers.  By  their  attendance 
and  support,  they  created  a  strong  morale  and  a  vigorous 
fraternal  atmosphere,  which  gave  to  all  who  were  taking 
part  in  the  degrees  the  confidence  and  the  will  to  do  their 
best  work. 

The  efficiency  of  the  District  Secretary  is  of  prime  im- 
portance in  the  work  of  inspections.  W.  Bro.  Lloyd,  again 
and  again,  proved  to  be  an  enormous  help  to  me,  with  his 


TORONTO,    ONTARIO,    1960  173 

clear  and  concise  reports  which  so  readily  gave  me  the  in- 
formation I  most  wanted  to  note  and  to  comment  upon.  His 
reports  indicate  the  growth  of  the  District: —  Initiations — 170, 
Restorations — 1,  Affiliations — 56,  total — 227.  It  is  well  to 
note  that  most  of  these  affiliations  were  by  members  who  had 
previously  taken  their  demits  from  other  Lodges  or  who  are 
members  of  Lodges  in  the  Old  Country.  From  this  statement 
may  be  deducted  a  total  of  134: — 64  deaths,  42  demits  and 
28  suspensions.  Over  the  year,  therefore,  there  was  an  in- 
crease of  93.  There  are  now  4,120  members  in  Toronto 
District  "B-2".  Another  interesting  feature  of  the  Secre- 
tary's report  is  his  record  of  attendance.  This  account  is 
based  on  the  average  attendance  at  meetings  in  the  District:- 
Past  Masters  158,  membei^s  827,  visitors  391.  In  comparison 
with  the  previous  year,  these  figures  show  the  following;  an 
increase  of  8  for  the  Past  Masters,  25  for  the  members  and  a 
decrease  of  22  for  the  visitors. 

The  members  of  "B-2"  are  to  be  congratulated  on  the 
splendid  type  of  officers  they  have  elected,  and  the  Masters 
and  officers  are  to  be  complimented  on  the  excellent  manner 
in  which  they  are  conducting  the  affairs  of  their  respective 
Lodges. 

Turning  to  the  field  of  Masonic  Education,  I  found  in 
every  Lodsre  that  there  was  some  programme  of  instruction. 
The  material  sent  by  the  Chairman  of  Masonic  Education, 
R.  Wor.  Bro.  B.  .B  Foster  was  very  much  appreciated  by  the 
Lodges.  In  the  wider  field,  the  Masonic  Education  Com- 
mittee of  District  "B-2"  worked  jointly  with  the  Masonic 
Education  Committee  of  District  "B-l".  The  Chairman  of 
District  "B-2"  is  Wor.  Bro.  Stanley  Cecil,  who  was  ably 
assisted  by  the  Secretary,  Wor.  Bro.  Lewis  Beak.  In  Toronto 
District  "B-l",  Masonic  Education  was  under  the  direction 
of  the  Chairman,  Wor.  Bro.  Wm.  Evanson  and  his  Secre- 
tary, Wor.  Bro.  Hubert  Smart.  To  these  men  I  give  sincere 
thanks  for  a  job  well  done.  Two  combined  meetings  were 
held  and,  as  is  the  custom,  one  was  held  in  the  city,  the 
other  in  a  suburban  Lode-e.  The  first  meeting,  in  Yonge 
Temple,  was  held  under  the  sponsorship  of  Bay  of  Quinte 
Lodge.  At  this  meeting  the  ritual  of  the  Fellowcraft  Degree 
was  discussed.  The  second  meeting  was  sponsored  by  Mark- 
ham  Union  Lodge,  at  which  the  Master  Mason's  Degree  was 
exemplified  with  full  ex-planations.  It  was  indeed  a  thrill 
for  R.W.  Bro.  John  Arthur  and  me  that  such  a  large  number 
of  brethren  attended  these  meetings. 

During  the  year  several  of  the  Lodges  held  Divine 
Services.  Toronto  District  "B-2"  Church  Service  was  held 
at  Manor  Road  United  Church.  The  Service  was  conducted 
by  the  District  Chaplain  and  Minister  of  the  Church,  Bro. 
Rev.  Roy  F.  Hicks,  assisted  by  R.W.  Bro.  John  Arthur,  and 
myself.     I  assisted  at  the  Service  of  Toronto  District  "B-l" 


174      GRAND    LODGE   OF    CANADA    ANNUAL    COMMUNICATION 

which  was  held  in  Leaside  United  Church  under  the  guidance 
of  the  Minister  and  Chaplain  of  District  "B-l",  Bro.  Rev. 
Charles  C.  Murray  and  R.W.  Bro.  John  Arthur. 

I  noted  that  all  Services,  those  of  the  individual  Lodges 
and  the  Districts,  were  well  attended  by  the  brethren.  This 
is  a  good  sign  and  it  was  specially  pleasing  to  see  so  many 
Grand  Lodge  officers,  P.G.M's.,  and  other  past  Grand  Lodge 
officers   present. 

I  had  the  feeling  when  coming  into  the  anteroom,  where 
the  brethren  were  gathering  prior  to  entering  the  lodge 
room,  that  I  was  among  friends,  for  there  was  always  an 
air  of  friendship,  of  respect  and  good  fellowship,  and,  when 
I  entered  the  lodge  room,  I  was  received  as  an  honoured 
guest. 

At  Scarborough  Lodge,  later  in  the  month  while  waiting 
in  the  anteroom,  W.  Bro.  Lloyd  and  I  had  the  enjoyment  of 
a  long  conversation  with  M.  Wor.  Bro.  Pitts.  He  has  the 
happy  faculty  of  making  you  feel  at  ease.  He  demonstrated 
that  first  of  all  qualities  of  character,  that  greatness  is 
simple  sincere  and  friendly.  He  has  that  quality  about  his 
whole  personality  which  makes  us  silently  hope  that  he 
would  number  us  among  his  friends.  He  wears  the  mantle 
of  his  office  with  honour  and  dignity. 

It  was  my  pleasure,  accompanied  by  Mi's.  Saunders.  Mrs. 
Lloyd  and  W.  Bro.  Lloyd,  to  attend  many  Ladies'  Nights. 
In  the  Book  of  Constitution  are  to  be  found  those  words 
"Masonry  is  the  happy  means  of  conciliating  friendships 
amongst  those  who  must  otherwise  have  remained  at  a 
perpetual  distance'.'  Never  were  words  more  applicable 
than  these  for,  at  a  Ladies'  Night,  we  forget  all  differences 
wTe  may  have  had;  we  are  there  as  one  big  family,  the 
purpose  being  to  honour  our  ladies  and  see  that  everyone 
has  an  enjoyable  evening.  These  friendships  that  we  form 
are  immeasurable;  we  cannot  tell  just  wrhen  they  take  place; 
they  just  happen.  They  thrive  simply  because  only  in 
generosity  of  mind  and  spirit  can  we  sense  how  the  other 
person  feels.  It  is  this  spirit  of  friendship  which  makes  it 
worthwhile  to  attend  our  Ladies'  Nights. 

I  conclude  my  report  with  these  thoughts  and  impres- 
sions. Masonry  is  the  one  society  in  which  a  man  is  free 
to  demonstrate,  exhibit  or  use  his  talents.  If  he  is  a  leader, 
he  has  the  opportunity  of  working  through  the  various 
offices  to  the  chair  of  Worshipful  Master.  If  he  is  an 
organizer,  there  are  the  various  lodge  committees.  To  build 
attendance,  he  may  call  his  brethren  and  invite  them  to 
attend  their  Lodge.  A  a  singer,  he  has  the  opportunity  to 
sing.  To  improve  the  morals  of  men,  he  can  demonstrate  by 
his  own  actions.    If  he  would  like  welfare  work,  there  is  the 


TORONTO,    ONTARIO,    1960  175 

sick  brother  to  visit.     To   prove  his  talents  in  any  way,  he 
may  ask  for  the  opportunity.    No  one  will  find  fault. 

We  officers  should  never  overlook  the  members  who 
sit  on  the  North  and  South.  We  should  realize  their  latent 
power  and  importance.  It  is  their  support  and  attendance 
that  carry  our  Lodges. 

We  must  always  consider  the  new  member.  What  does 
he  think  of  us  ?  What  are  his  impressions  of  the  work  ? 
Will  this  candidate,  after  he  has  received  his  degrees,  ap- 
preciate Masonry  as  much  as  he  hoped,  before  becoming  a 
member  ? 

When  one  enters  a  lodge  room  he  should  remember  that 
he  is  now  entering  a  consecrated  place  and  should  act  ac- 
cordingly. 

Masonry  teaches  us  to  think,  of  others,  of  our  relation- 
ship with  others,  of  ourselves  and  how  we  should  live. 
Because  of  the  tenets  and  principles  which  are  taught  in 
the  Order,  we  should  at  all  times  feel  proud  that  we  are 
Masons. 

To  the  Past  Masters,  Masters,  Wardens  and  members 
of  every  Lodge  in  Toronto  District  "B-2",  I  give  my  grate- 
ful thanks  for  the  honour  of  being  permitted  to  act  as 
District  Deputy  Grand  Master  for  the  past  year. 

W.   H.    SAUNDERS,   D.D.G.M. 


TORONTO  DISTRICT  "C" 

In  reporting  to  vou  on  the  condition  of  Masonry  in 
Toronto  District  "C",  I  do  so  with  a  sense  of  gratitude  in  my 
heart  for  all  those  who  have  made  this  the  outstanding  year 
of  my  life. 

During  the  year  I  visited  all  Lodges  in  the  District 
and  found  all  of  them  working  in  an  authorized  manner  and 
conducting  degrees  with  great  skill  and  ability.  In  all  of  my 
visits  I  endeavoured  to  encourage  Masonic  Education  so  that 
the  brethren  would  have  a  better  understanding-  of  Free- 
masonry and  learn  more  of  the  truths  hidden  in  the  ritual 
and  symbolism  of  our  Fraternity.  I  referred  to  the  Grand 
Lodge  Library  and  asked  the  brethren  to  make  more  use 
of  its  facilities. 

Attendance  in  some  Lodees  showed  an  increase  over  the 
previous  year  but  generally  the  average  was  the  same  as  the 
previous  year  with  a  few  Lodges  showing  a  decrease.  I 
urged  the  brethren    to  overcome   this  problem  by   bringing 


176      GRAND    LODGE   OF   CANADA    ANNUAL    COMMUNICATION 

someone   along  with   them  to  Lodge  and  by   contacting   the 
brethren  who  had  not  been  to  Lodge  recently. 

I  am  pleased  to  report  that  three  rural  Lodges  are 
considering  the  building  of  new  temples  with  adequate  park- 
ing facilities.  Some  thought  should  be  given  to  the  future 
of  the  temples  located  in  Toronto,  which  are  overcrowded  and 
many  of  them  lack  proper  parking  facilities,  which  in  this 
day  and  age  are  an  essential  part  of  every  temple. 

One  of  my  first  duties  was  to  assist  in  the  constituting 
and  consecrating  of  Harry  L.  Martyn  Lodge,  and  later  in  the 
year  I  had  the  honour  of  instituting  The  Lodge  of  Fellowship. 
Two  district  meetings  on  Masonic  Education  were  held  at 
which  the  following  subjects  were  dealt  with:  1.  Balloting 
on  Candidates,  2.  Masonic  Jurisprudence,  3.  Mechanics, 
History  and  Philosophy  of  the  Master  Mason's  Degree. 
Both  meetings  were  well  attended  and  proved  of  interest  to 
the  brethren. 

A  District  Church  Service  was  held  in  the  Church  of 
our  District  Chaplain,  W.  Bro.  The  Rev.  Gordon  King,  and 
was  well  supported  by  the  District.  I  attended  many  Ladies' 
Nights  and  Church  Services  throughout  the  District  and  was 
graciously  received  on  all  occasions.  A  reception  was  tender- 
ed the  Most  Worshipful  Grand  Master  by  the  Lodges  of 
Toronto  Districts  "A-l",  "A-2"  and  "C"  at  which  over  400 
brethren  attended.  Rising  Sun  Lodge,  Aurora,  celebrated 
its  100th  anniversary  and  I  was  privileged  to  accompany  the 
Grand  Master  on  this  occasion. 

The  opportunity  to  participate  in  the  Remembrance 
Memorial  Building  Fund  was  well  received  by  the  brethren 
and,  while  returns  are  slow  coming  in,  there  is  promise  that 
this  District  will  be  well  represented. 

I  had  the  opportunity  of  installing  the  President  of 
the  Central  Masonic  Bureau  and  of  addressing  them  briefly. 
I  would  urge  a  greater  support  of  the  Past  Masters'  As- 
sociation by  the  Past  Masters  in  Toronto.  This  is  an 
organization  worthy  of  the  support  of  every  Past  Master 
and  of  great  assistance  in  the  preparation  for  Grand  Lodge 
each  year. 

I  would  pay  tribute  to  my  friend  and  assistant  this 
past  year,  W.  Bro.  Arch.  J.  Cobban,  District  Secretary,  who 
woi'ked  so  hard  to  assist  the  Lodges  in  the  District  and  myself 
in  the  discharge  of  my  responsibilities.  To  the  Masonic 
Education  Committee,  *M.W.  Bro.  Harry  L.  Martyn,  the 
Librarian,  R.W.  Bro.  Molson  Cain  and  all  those  who^  sup- 
ported me  on  my  travels  about  the  District  I  say  a  sincere 
thank  you  to  each  and  every  one. 


TORONTO,    ONTARIO.    1960  177 

Finally.  Most  Worshipful  Sir,  I  say  thank  you  for  the 
privilege  of  having  represented  you  in  this  District  and 
the  opportunity  it  has  afforded  me  to  serve  my  brethren 
and  the   Craft. 

HARRY  T.   BLUMSOM,  D.D.G.M. 


TORONTO  DISTRICT  "D" 

Just  as  life's  little  day  ebbs  swiftly  to  its  close,  so  my 
term  as  D.D.G.M.  passes  into  history,  thus  ending  a  year 
which  has  been  filled  to  overflowing  with  challenging  op- 
portunities, rewarding  experiences  and  pleasant  memories. 

I  am  most  grateful  to  the  Masters  and  brethren  of  the 
twenty-five  Lodges  of  the  District  for  their  co-operation  and 
support,  and  for  the  warn,  sincere  welcome  extended  to  me 
as  I  visited  the  various  Lodges. 

My  choice  of  District  Secretary,  W.  Bro.  Don.  Cormack, 
was  an  excellent  one  and  proved  to  be  very  popular  with 
the  brethren.  Sincere  and  devoted  to  duties  of  his  office, 
W.  Bro.  Cormack  has  been  a  very  capable  Secretary  and  his 
meticulous  handling  of  the  many  duties  has  added  in  no 
small  measure  to  any  success  which  may  have  been  attained. 

Another  wise  choice  was  W.  Bro.  George  Lennox^who, 
as  in  the  previous  year,  was  Chairman  of  Masonic  Education. 
In  addition  to  his  efforts  to  promote  Masonic  Education  in 
the  individual  Lodges,  he  organized  two  very  successful 
"Lodges  of  Instruction".  The  first  of  these  was  sponsored 
by  St.  George  Lodge  on  October  29th,  and  the  second  by 
Palestine  Lodge  on  March  30th. 

As  District  Chaplain,  I  appointed  Rev.  Fred  Douglas, 
B.A.,  Minister  of  St.  Paul's  Presbyterian  Church,  and  present 
Senior  Warden  of  Huron-Bruce  Lodge.  The  District  Divine 
Service  was  held  April  24th  in  St.  Paul's  Church  with  the 
District  Chaplain  in  charge.  M.W.  Bro.  Harry  L.  Martyn 
and  the  D.D.G.M.  also  took  part  in  the  Service.  Six  Lodges 
also  held  Divine  Services  and  each  of  these  I  attended, 
accompanied  by  my  wife. 

Early  in  the  year,  the  Grand  Master  expressed  a  desire 
to  have  the  brethren,  once  again,  become  interested  in  the 
donating  of  blood  to  the  Red  Cross.  I  am  deeply  grateful 
to  V.W.  Bro.  Vic.  Ridgway,  Tuscan  Lodge,  who  readily  agreed 
to  act  as  Chairman  of  our  Blood  Donors'  Service,  and  the 
renewed  interest  in  this  Masonic  Charity  is  due  to  his  efforts. 
There  are  now  454  signed  Donors'  in  the  District  with 
Antiquity  Lodge  in  the  lead. 


173     GRAND   LODGE   OF  CANADA   ANNUAL   COMMUNICATION 

As  the  year  progressed  there  were  many  pleasant  ex- 
periences some  of  which  are  worthy  of  special  mention. 
It  was  a  very  pleasant  experience  to  accompany  the  Deputy 
Grand  Master,  the  Grand  Secretary  and  others  on  their 
visit  to  Palestine  Lodge  on  the  occasion  of  the  visit  of  the 
Grand  Master  and  Deputy  Grand  Master  of  the  Grand  Lodge 
of  the  State  of  Israel.  Another  event  worthy  of  special 
mention  was  the  Anniversary  Celebration  which  marked  the 
seventy-fifth  milestone  in  the  life  of  Zeta  Lodge.  It  was 
indeed  a  thrill  to  be  part  of  the  vast  number  of  Masons 
gathered  to  pay  tribute  to  a  Lodge  which  has  made  such 
a  wonderful  contribution  to  Masonry  for  three  quarters  of  a 
century.  The  banquet  hour  address  by  M.W.  Bro.  Maher 
was  one  we  shall  not  soon  forget. 

During  the  year  I  visited  each  Lodge  at  least  once  and 
some  as  many  as  three  times.  I  am  pleased  to  report  that 
Masonry  in  the  District  is  of  a  very  high  calibre,  and  there 
seems  to  be  a  greater  desire  on  the  part  of  the  Junior  Officers 
for  excellence  in  the  degree  work.  This  I  tried  to  encourage 
as  I  spoke  to  the  brethren  in  the  lodge  rooms. 

Words  fail  to  pay  tribute  to  the  wonderful  organizing 
abilities  of  the  Worshipful  Masters.  With  but  two  except- 
ions, the  D.D.G.M.  was  received  at  a  reasonable  hour,  and 
in  every  Lodge  the  work  was  so  arranged  that  it  could  be 
carried  out  with  dispatch  yet  with  dignity.  This  I  also 
tried  to  encourage. 

The  balance-wheel  of  any  organization  is  the  Secretary 
and  certainly  the  Secretaries  are  playing  their  part  nobly  and 
well.  The  reports  of  the  District  Secretary  and  the  excellent 
monthly  summonses  of  each  Lodge  are  ample  proof  cf  the 
efficient  work  being  done. 

I  am  most  grateful  for  the  many  courtesies  shown  me 
during  the  year  and  particularly  those  I  was  permitted  to 
share  with  my  wife,  and  in  most  instances,  with  the  District 
Secretary  and  Mrs.  Cormack.  As  honoured  guests  of  the 
Lodges  holding  Ladies'  Nights,  we  enjoyed  ourselves  to  the 
full,  and  it  was  a  real  pleasure  to  share  with  the  brethren 
during  the  hours  of  refreshment. 

I  would  like  to  comment  at  some  length  with  respect  to 
lodge  room  accomodation,  parking  facilities  and,  in  some 
instances,  prohibitive  rental  charges,  but  space  does  not 
permit. 

In  conclusion,  may  I  say  that  if  I  have  made  any  "Foot- 
prints in  the  Sands  of  Time"  with  respect  to  Masonry,  it 
has  been  made  possible  by  the  loyalty  of  my  appointed 
officers  and  the  co-operation  and  support  I  have  enjoyed 
from  my  brethren  of  Toronto  District  "D".  To  one  and  all, 
my  very  sincere  thanks. 

A.  E.  CALVERLEY,  D.D.G.M. 


TORONTO.    ONTARIO,    1960  179 

VICTORIA  DISTRICT 

I  desire  to  render  an  account  of  my  stewardship  and 
my  impresions  of  the  condition  of  Masonry  in  Victoria 
District. 

Early  in  my  year  I  appointed  Wor.  Bro.  R.  Pursey 
Rilance  of  Murray  Lodge  as  my  District  Secretary.  He  has 
been  very  helpful  and  willing:  to  assist  in  every  way  possible 
up  to  the  time  of  his  illness  which  kept  him  in  hospital 
for  some  time  near  the  end  of  my  year. 

Also,  early  in  my  year  I  appointed  Bro.  Rev.  C.  J. 
Beckley  of  Harding-  Lodge,  Woodville,  as  my  District 
Chaplain.  Here  again  I  had  a  very  helpful  and  willing  as- 
sistant. He  gave  two  wonderful  addresses  at  two  of  my 
meetings  and  then,  to  cap  it  all,  a  very  wonderful  sermon 
on  the  creed  of  a  Mason  at  our  Annual  District  Church 
Service,  May  29th,  which  was  very  well  attended  by  the 
brethren  of  the  District  and  neighbouring  Lodges. 

I  appointed  Wor.  Bro.  G.  K.  Johnson,  Chairman  of  our 
District  Committee  on  Masonic  Education,  an  office  which 
he  filled  in  a  very  capable  and  efficient  manner  and  to  my 
entire  satisfaction.  He  gave  several  addresses  during  the 
year  which  were  very  well  received.  He  organized  and  put 
over  our  District  Educational  Night  in  January  which  took 
the  form  of  a  panel  discussion  of  the  lecture  in  the  South 
with  R.  Woi\  Bro.  W.  K.  Bailey  as  Moderator.  This  meeting 
brought  forth  a  lot  of  favotirable  comment  throughout  the 
District.  It  is  hoped  that  this  is  the  beginning  of  a  very 
worthwhile  annual  event  or  possibly  more  often. 

I  have  visited  every  Lodge  in  the  District  and  I  am 
pleased  to  report  that  the  work  of  the  Masters  and  their 
officers  has  been  of  a  very  excellent  quality.  I  had  the 
pleasure  of  observing  all  three  degrees  done  in  a  very  com- 
mendable way  and  I  give  a  lot  of  credit  to  our  Wardens' 
Association  for  the  wonderful  uniformity  of  the  work 
throughout  the  District.  Of  coui'se  some  credit  must  go  to 
the  Lodges  of  Instruction  held  in  the  District  some  time  ago. 
I  would  suggest  that  they  be  started  asyain  that  the  new 
officers  coming  up  might  have  the  benefit  of  these  Lodges 
of  Instruction. 

I  appointed  Bro.  H.  Campbell  of  Murray  Lodg-e  as 
District  Chairman  of  Blood  Donors.  Bro.  Campbell  put 
considerable  work  into  this  project  but  the  response  was  not 
good.  Three  Lodges  in  the  District  took  time  to  answer 
his  letters.  I  know  that  some  brethren  of  the  District 
donated  blood  but  I  do  not  know  the  number. 


180      GRAND    LODGE    OF    CANADA   ANNUAL    COMMUNICATION 

One  of  the  highlights  of  my  term  of  office  was  the 
dedication  of  the  Temple  of  North  Entrance  Lodge  in  Hali- 
burton  in  which  I  assisted  R.  Wor.  Bro.  Molson  Cain  in  this 
very  impressive  ceremony.  R.  Wor.  Bro.  Geo.  J.  McQueen 
was  Director  of  Ceremonies  on  this  occasion  and,  as  usual, 
did  a  gi'and  job.  I  had  the  pleasure  to  sit  in  on  the  dedic- 
ation of  the  "new  Temple  of  Fidelity  Lodge  in  Port  Perry 
where  the  Grand  Master  presided.  This  was  another  big 
night  for  me  to  be  able  to  sit  in  and  observe  this  wonderful 
ceremony.  The  biggest  highlight  of  my  entire  term  of 
office  was  the  reception  of  the  Grand  Master  in  Victoria 
District,  held  at  Beaverton  on  April  2Cth,  at  which  the 
District  was  very  well  represented.  A  large  number  of  the 
brethren  showed  their  appreciation  and  loyalty  to  their 
Grand  Master  and  listened  to  an  outstanding  address  by 
Most  Wor.  Bro.  C.  M.  Pitts,  Grand  Master.  After  the  recep- 
tion V.  Wor.  Bro.  A.  W.  (Jack)  Baker  invited  the  brethren 
to  come  to  his  home  for  a  brief  visit  and  fraternize  with  our 
Grand  Master  and  R.  Wor.  Bro.  B.  Lishman,  who  were 
staving  overnight  with  V.  Wor.  Bro.  Baker,  who  is  an  old 
friend. 

I  now  wish  to  express  my  sincere  thanks  to  Victoria 
District  for  the  very  high  honour  they  have  conferred  on  me 
in  electing  me  D.D.G.M.  of  Victoria  District.  It  is  a  year 
that  I  shall  cherish  and  remember  as  long  as  I  live. 

CEPHAS   DOHERTY,  D.D.G.M. 


WELLINGTON  DISTRICT 

The  genuine  and  most  cordial  reception  tendered  to  me 
on  all  visits  to  the  twenty-two  Lodges  of  Wellington  District 
evinced  the  loyalty  and  esteem  of  the  brethren  for  the  Grand 
Master  and  Grand  Lodge. 

My  appointment  of  Wor.  Bro.  Lyle  Miller  as  District 
Secretary  has  proven  an  exceptional  choice.  He  has  faith- 
fully visited  with  me  on  every  occasion  and  has  given 
freely  of  his  time  and  energy  in  carrying  out  the  duties  of 
his  important  office.  He  also  served  as  District  Chairman 
of  the  Blood  Donors'  Committee. 

The  Supervisor  of  Masonic  Education,  Wor.  Bro.  A.  T. 
Prestwich,  and  his  committee  held  five  successful  educational 
meetings  last  fall.  These  meetings  consisted  of  smaller 
groups,  (four  or  five  lodges)  and  were  well  attended.  Each 
meeting  was  convened  by  a  sub-district  chairman  with  the 
purpose  in  mind  of  giving  wider  participation  by  interested 
brethren  speaking  on  various  topics  which  were  deemed  to 
be  of  timely  concern  to  all  Masons.  Thirtv-two  brethren 
presented  the  various  topics  for  discussion  which  took  place 


TORONTO,    ONTARIO,    1960  181 

at  all  meetings,  and  a  great  deal  of  interest  was  created. 
A  district  meeting  was  also  held  this  spring  and  proved  to 
be  of  considerable  merit  by  those  brethren  in  attendance. 
All  Lodges  have  a  Masonic  Education  Committee,  and  it  is 
encouraging  to  note  the  continually  increasing  interest  which 
is  being  shown  in  each  Ledge.  Bro.  Rev.  F.  Paul  Erb,  the 
District  Chaplain,  was  a  most  interested  and  interesting 
travelling  companion  and  was  a  real  inspiration  to  me  and  to 
all  whom  he  met.  The  District  Divine  Service  was  held  in 
Zion  Church,  New  Hamburg,  and  the  large  number  of 
Masons  present  enjoyed  the  inspiring  address  delivered  by 
the  District  Chaplain,  entitled  "God's  Perfecting  of  Life". 
I  am  also  grateful  to  the  members  of  Speed  Lodge  Masonic 
Choir  who  assisted  in  the  musical  portion  of  the  Service. 
A  number  of  Lodge  Divine  Services  were  held  in  the  District 
and  were  well  attended. 

I  am  most  happy  to  report  that  Masonry  in  this  District 
is  in  good  hands  and  I  have  tried  to  encourage  members  who 
are  not  officers  to  participate  and  contribute  in  some  way 
to  the  betterment  of  Masonry.  I  have  at  all  times  been 
encouraged  by  the  faithful  attendance  of  Masters.^  Past 
Masters,  Officers  and  members  of  the  Lodges  of  the  District, 
for  which  I  wish  to  express  my  sincere  gratitude. 

It  has  been  a  privilege  for  me  to  have  served  as  D.D.G.M. 
and  I  will  continue  in  my  efforts  to  serve  Freemasonry  to  the 
best  of  my  ability. 

BRUCE  J.  OMAND,  D.D.G.M. 


WESTERN  DISTRICT 

The  honour  of  serving  as  District  Deputy  Grand  Master 
for  Western  District  has  been  a  wonderful  experience  for  me, 
and  I  wish  to  express  my  thanks  to  the  brethren  of  the 
District  for  the  confidence  they  placed  in  me. 

I  had  the  pleasure  of  appointing  Wor.  Bro.  J.  K.  Forbes, 
as  District  Secretary,  Bro.  James  W.  Whitford  as  District 
Chaplain,  and  V.  Wor  Bro.  P.  E.  Baker  as  District  Super- 
visor of  Masonic  Education.  I  am  very  deeply  indebted  to 
these  brethren  for  the  help  and  support  they  gave  me 
during  the   year. 

Wor.  Bro.  Forbes  accompanied  me  on  all  my  official 
visits.  He  informed  me  that  all  books  and  records  of  each 
Lodge  were  checked  and  found  to  be  in  good  order,  that 
each  Lodge  is  in  good  financial  condition,  but  one  Lodge 
which  has  a  loan,  but  has  been  able  to  meet  the  payment 
on  the  loan,  that  all  Lodges  are  well  insured  against  fire 
and  damage.     The  District  Chaplain  was  able  to  accompany 


182     GRAND   LODGE    OF   CANADA    ANNUAL    COMMUNICATION 

us  on    five   of   my    visits    and   the    Supervisor  of    Masonic 
Education  on  four. 

I  was  very  much  impressed  by  the  enthusiastic  reception 
I  received  from  each  Lodge  on  my  official  visits.  During  my 
visits  the  three  degrees  were  conferred  and  the  standard  of 
the  work  was  of  a  very  high  order.  Most  of  the  Lodges 
have  brethren  assist  in  the  work  who  do  not  hold  office 
which  helps  to  keep  the  attendance  up. 

Masonic  Education  is  still  improving  in  the  District. 
The  majority  of  the  Lodges  are  devoting  more  of  their  time 
on  Masonic  instruction  and  questions.  The  Past  Masters' 
Association  is  very  active  in  this  work.  Pequonga  Lodge, 
No.  414,  had  the  honor  of  regaining  the  shield  this  year  from 
Granite  Lodge,  No.  446,  which  had  held  it  for  the  past  two 
years.  I  thank  V.  Wor.  Bro.  Baker  very  much  for  the  work 
he  has  done  in  looking  after  Masonic  Education  for  the 
District. 

The  highlights  during  the  year  were;  first  when  the 
Deputy  Grand  Master,  the  Hon.  Mr.  Justice  Treleaven,  when 
in  Kenora,  on  his  official  duties,  addressed  a  large  gathering 
of  the  brethren  at  an  informal  meeting  on  October  21st. 
Then  on  October  26th,  when  in  Fort  Frances,  he  addressed 
the  brethren  of  the  southern  part  of  the  District  at  an  in- 
formal meeting;  second,  during  my  visit  to  Chukuni  Lodge, 
No.  660,  the  Worshipful  Master  had  the  honor  and  pleasure 
of  initiating  his  two  sons  into  the  mysteries  of  Freemasonry 
which  I  believe  is  history  for  Western  District;  thirdly  I  had 
the  pleasure  of  presenting  Bro.  G.  W.  Armstrong  of  Keewatin 
Lodge  with  his  50  Year  Medal:  Finally,  Sioux  Lookout  Lodge, 
No.  518,  made  the  final  payment  on  their  loan  on  their  new 
Temple.  I  congratulate  the  members  of  No.  518  for  their 
fine  showing  in  such  a  short  time. 

The  District  Divine  Service  was  held  in  the  St.  James, 
Anglican  Church,  Keewatin,  on  June  5th,  at  11  a.m.  The 
District  Chaplain  conducted  the  Service,  which  was  well 
attended  by  the  brethren  from  all  Lodges  in  the  District.  A 
Divine  Service  was  held  also  by  each  Lodge  in  the  District 
during  the  year. 

I  am  of  the  same  opinion  as  my  predecessor.  Rt.  Wor. 
Bro.  J.  B.  Fraser,  that  for  the  betterment  of  Masonry  in 
the  District  Lodges  with  more  than  two  hundred  members 
which  have  a  large  jurisdiction  from  which  to  draw  candid- 
ates should  share  it  with  another  new  Lodge.  It  would  give 
the  brethren  a  better  opportunity  to  participate  in  the  work 
and  would  increase  the  interest  in  the  Lodges.  These  three 
Lodges.  Pequonga,  No.  414,  Lake  of  the  Woods,  No.  445,  and 
Keewatin,  No.  417,  have  consented  to  concurrent  jurisdiction, 
and  their  application  has  been  placed  before  the  Committee 


TORONTO,    ONTARIO,    1960  183 

on  Constitution  and  Laws  for  consideration  and  recommend- 
ation to  Grand  Lodge. 

Finally,  I  wish  to  thank  the  Grand  Master  for  confirming1 
my  election,  also  all  the  brethren  for  their  assistance  and 
co-operation  they  gave  me  during  the  past  year.  The  ex- 
perience I  have  gained  I  shall  remember  in  the  years  to 
come. 

CECIL  G.  GALLOWAY,  D.D.G.M. 


WILSON  DISTRICT 

I  thank  the  members  of  Wilson  District  for  the  honour 
and  privilege  of  serving  as  their  D.D.G.M.  It  has  been  a 
most  rewarding  experience.  The  Grand  Master  and  Grand 
Lodge  can  certainly  be  proud  of  the  high  esteem  in  which 
they  are  held  in  this  District  The  sincere  and  dignified 
manner  in  which  I  was  received  on  every  occasion  bespeaks 
the  feelings  of  every  brother. 

The  appointment  of  Wor.  Bro.  Norman  McLeod  as 
District  Secretary  proved  to  be  an  excellent  choice.  He 
performed  the  duties  of  his  office  with  an  enthusiasm  that 
merited  every  promise  and  trust  which  I  had  in  him,  and  he 
has  certainly  won  for  himself  the  sincere  esteem  of  his 
brethren.  While  the  D.D.G.M.  is  the  recipient  of  a  high 
honour,  we  must  not  forget  the  great  contribution  to  the 
District  which  is  given  by  the  District  Secretary. 

Wor.  Bro.  Andrew  Cody  willingly  accepted  the  office  of 
District  Chaplain,  and  his  kind  and  gracious  manner  could 
not  help  but  make  us,  as  Masons,  realize  our  responsibilities 
to  the  Great  Architect.  It  was  also  my  pleasure  to  have 
Wor.  Bro.  A.  G.  MeCorquodale  travel  with  me  as  the  Super- 
visor of  Masonic  Education,  he,  being  one  of  the  members 
with  the  most  years  of  service  in  my  Mother  Lodge  and 
having  an  active  interest  in  many  branches  of  Freemasonry, 
was  well  qualified  for  his  duties. 

The  highlight  of  the  year  for  Wilson  District  took  place 
on  March  31st^  at  Inprersoll,  when  we  had  the  honour  of 
receiving  the  Grand  Master,  M.W.  Bro.  C.  M.  Pitts.  He 
arrived  in  the  afternoon  to  unveil  the  Cornerstone  of  a 
soacious  new  Temple  erected  by  the  brethren  of  King  Hiram, 
No.  37,  and  St.  Johns,  No.  68.  Following  the  unveiling,  a 
dinner  reception  was  held  at  which  time  the  Grand  Master 
addressed  the  gathering  of  350  Masons,  and  his  genial 
personality  and  kindly  greetings  made  a  lasting  impression 
on  the  brethren.  It  was  also  our  pleasure  to  have  the  Grand 
Master,  assisted  by  present  and  past  Grand  Lodge  Officers, 
dedicate  the  new  Ingersoll  Temple. 


184     GRAND    LODGE   OF    CANADA   ANNUAL    COMMUNICATION 

On  June  3rd,  there  was  also  another  happy  event  when 
M.W.  Bro.  Harry  Martyn  dedicated  the  new  Temple  of  Doric 
Lodge,  No.  569,  Lakeside.  The  major  part  of  the  construct- 
ion of  this  new  edifice  was  carried  out  by  the  brethren  of 
Lakeside  and  we  are  most  proud  of  this  united  accomplish- 
ment. 

Several  of  the  Lodges  held  Ladies'  Nights,  and  on  these 
occasions  Mrs.  McCall  and  I  were  guests.  May  I  express  to 
the  brethren  of  these  Lodges  our  appreciation  for  the  many 
kindnesses  and  courtesies  extended  to  us. 

The  Past  Masters'  and  Wardens'  Association  is  contribut- 
ing, in  no  small  measure,  in  promoting  by  their  fine  example 
all  worthwhile  endeavours  to  keep  Masonry  flourishing  an« 
advancing  in   Wilson  District. 

And  briefly,  I  must  add  that,  having  visited  the  twenty- 
three  Lodges  in  my  District,  I  was  pleased  with  the  uniform- 
ity of  the  work  and  with  the  sincerity  and  harmony  which 
existed  between  the  Masters  and  their  officers.  I  am  most 
deeply  indebted  to  the  present  and  past  Grand  Lodge  Officers 
and  their  willing  assistance,  in  particular  to  our  Assistant 
Grand  Chaplain  V.  W.  Rev.  Bro.  Shields,  who  blessed  several 
of  my  visits  with  his  inspiring  words. 

And  finally,  may  I  express  my  sincere  appreciation  to 
the  Grand  Secretary's  Office  for  the  prompt  assistance  given 
me  on  my  many  official  functions  during  the  year,  and  to  all 
of  the  brethren  of  Wilson  District  "thank  you"  again.  You 
have  indeed  been  most  kind  to  me. 

BRUCE  M.  McCALL,  D.D.G.M. 
WINDSOR  DISTRICT 

It  has  been  a  signal  honour  to  represent  the  Grand 
Master  in  Windsor  District  during  the  past  year.  The  cord- 
ial and  warm  welcome  which  I  received  at  every  visitation 
illustrated  the  respect  with  which  Grand  Lodge  is  regarded 
by  the  brethren  of  Windsor  District. 

Immediately  upon  assuming  office,  I  appointed  Wor.  Bro. 
C.  Flett  as  my  District  Secretary  and  he  has  fulfilled  his 
duties  in  a  most  satisfactory  manner.  He  has  been  a  tower 
of  strength  to  me  and  has  accompanied  me  on  all  my  numer- 
ous visitations.  He  assures  me  that  the  Lodges  are  in  good 
financial  condition  and  that  records  have  been  well  kept. 

The  Committee  on  Masonic  Education  was  under  the 
excellent  guidance  of  Wor.  Bros.  Jarrett  and  Howe.  _  These 
two  brethren  gave  numerous  talks  on  Masonic  Education  and 
are  to  be  highly  congratulated  for  the  splendid  work  they 
performed. 


TORONTO,    ONTARIO,    1960  185 

Rev.  Bro.  C.  J.  Draper  was  the  Chaplain  for  the  District, 
and  I  wish  to  thank  him  for  the  manner  in  which  he  dis- 
charged his  duties. 

I  attended  Windsor  Lodge,  No.  403,  on  September  4th, 
and  presented  a  square  and  compasses  on  behalf  of  the  widow 
of  R.W.  Bro.  A.  P.  Mclntyre,  P.D.D.G.M.,  who  passed  to  the 
Grand  Lodge  Above  on  March  29th,  1959.  I  also  presented 
five  50  Year  Medals  at  this  time. 

I  attended  two  Junior  Wardens'  Nights,  one  Senior 
Wardens'  Night  and  one  Masters'  Night,  at  which  the  work 
was  beautifully  done,  and  I'm  sure  that  the  conduct  of  the 
District  Lodges  will  be  in  good  hands  for  some  years  to 
come. 

I  presented,  on  behalf  of  Great  Western  Lodge,  No.  47, 
four  Fifty  Year  Medals  to  brethren  who  had  all  been  initiated 
on  the  same  date  fifty  years  ago.  At  this  meeting  there 
were  also  thirteen  members  present  who  had  previously 
received  their  Fifty  Year  Medals. 

I  visited  each  Lodge  on  several  occasions  and  it  has 
become  the  custom  to  try  and  close  all  meetings  by  10  o'clock 
so  that  the  members  can  then  enjoy  a  period  of  fraterniz- 
ation. I  sincerely  hope  that  this  custom  will  continue  in  the 
ensuing  years.  The  work  has  been  well  done  and  I  can 
assure  Grand  Lodge  that  the  condition  of  Masonry  is  ex- 
cellent in  Windsor  District. 

I  was  invited  to  visit  various  Lodges  in  other  Districts 
by  the  D.D.G.M.  of  the  District;  these  included  visits  to 
Chatham,  Thamesville  and  Wallaceburg.  I  attended  the 
dedication  of  new  lodge  rooms  at  Watford  and  also  a  new 
Temple  at  Thedford.  I  also  attended  a  very  interesting  meet- 
ing at  Petrolia  when  Bro.  J.  C.  Reid  of  Windsor  received  his 
Fifty  Year  Medal  from  his  Mother  Lodge  on  an  evening 
which  I'm  certain  he  will  never  forget.  At  this  meeting 
sixty  brethren  from  Windsor  attended  and  the  meeting  was 
preceded  by  a  very  delightful  dinner. 

On  March  29,  Windsor  District  was  highly  honoured  by  a 
visit  from  M.  Wor.  Bro.  Clarence  McL.  Pitts,  our  beloved 
Grand  Master.  This  reception  and  dinner  was  well  attended 
by  about  400  Masons.  The  Grand  Master  spoke  at  the 
dinner,  and  I'm  sure  that  the  brethren  will  long  remember 
his  magnificent  talk.  His  visit  was  greatly  enjoyed  and  to 
him   Windsor  District  is  deeply  grateful. 

The  District  Divine  Service  was  held  at  the  Salvation 
Army  Citadel  for  the  first  time.  Bro.  Hutchison,  a  Brigadier 
in  the  Salvation  Army,  conducted  the  Service  and  spoke  in  a 


186      GRAND   LODGE  OF   CANADA    ANNUAL   COMMUNICATION 

very  interesting1  manner.    The  Service  was  very  well  attend- 
ed and  was  enjoyed  by  all. 

On  May  28th,  I  enjoyed  being  presented  at  Lebanon 
Forest  Lodge's  Centennial  at  Exeter,  which  was  also  in  the 
form  of  a  reception  for  the  Grand  Master.  Present  were 
several  members  of  Grand  Lodge  and  five  D.D.G.M's.  Thei*e 
was  a  wonderful  dinner  followed  by  a  most  interesting  mes- 
sage from  the  Grand  Master. 

In  conclusion,  I  wish  to  thank  every  Mason  in  Windsor 
District  for  a  very  wonderful  year  and  to  expresss  to  Grand 
Lodge  the  opinion  that  Masonry  in  the  District  is  of  the 
highest  calibre.

REPORT  OF  THE  COMMITTEE  ON 
WARRANTS 

This  report  was  presented  by  R.W.  Bro.  J.  N. 
Allan,  Chairman,  and  on  motion  of  the  Deputy  Grand 
Master,  seconded  by  R.W.  Bro.  Allan,  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  again  a  pleasure  for  me  to  submit  the  report  of 
your  Committee  on  Wan-ants  for  the  year  ended  May  31, 
1960. 

Applications  for  Warrants  have  been  received  from  3 
Lodges.  These  Lodges  have  been  operating  under  dispens- 
ation granted  by  the  Most  Worshipful  the  Grand  Master. 

It  was  gratifying  as  it  always  is  to  receive  these  ap- 
plications. Your  Committee  is  strongly  of  the  opinion  that 
growth  in  the  number  of  Lodges  in  our  Grand  Jurisdiction 
is  desirable,  in  fact,  necessary  for  the  well  being  of  the  Craft. 
It  is  with  some  regret  your  Committee  noted  that  the  number 
of  applications  during  the  past  year  was  fewer  than  those 
received  during  any  of  the  4  previous  years.  We  therefore 
urge  interested  Brethren  to  encourage  the  institution  of  New 
Lodges  \vhei*e  after  due  consideration  such  appears  desirable. 
We  would  again  remind  the  brethren  that  members  of  smaller 
Lodges  have  more  opportunity  to  participate  in  the  work  of 


TORONTO.    ONTARIO,    1960  187 

the  Lodge   and  that  such  participation  is  likely  to   increase 
the  general  interest  of  the  members. 

The  records  of  the  Lodges  applying  for  warrants  were 
again  excellent — all  complied  with  the  regulations  of  Grand 
Lodge  that  a  bound  (not  loose  leaf)  minute  book  and  a  proper 
membership  ledger  be  used.  It  was  gratifying  to  observe 
that  none  of  the  Secretaries  concerned  had  used  a  member- 
ship card  system  in  place  of  the  ledger.  The  possibility 
of  the  loss  of  the  membership  record  of  a  brother  is  thus 
lessened.  The  excellence  of  the  records  examined  emphasized 
the  wisdom  of  selecting  an  experienced  and  well  skilled 
brother  to  serve  as  secretary  of  the  new  Lodge. 

We  have  examined  the  petitions,  books  and  records  of 
the  three  Lodges  presently  under  Dispensation  and  recom- 
mend that  Wan-ants  be  issued  to  the  following  Lodges: 

(a)  ASHLAR  LODGE,  U.D.,  Tillsonburg,  instituted  Sept- 
ember 17,  1959,  to  be  numbered  701  and  placed  in  Wilson 
District. 

(b)  LODGE  OF  FELLOWSHIP,  U.D.,  Richmond  Hill,  in- 
stituted March  8,  1960,  to  be  numbered  702,  and  placed 
in  Toronto  District  5. 

(c)  THE  LODGE  OF  THE  PILLARS,  U.D.,  Weston,  Ontario, 
instituted  March  29,  1960,  to  be  numbered  703  and 
placed  in  Toronto  District  2. 

It  has  been  the  practice  of  your  Committee  each  year 
to  remind  all  new  Lodge  Secretaries  of  the  advantage  of 
starting  always  at  the  top  of  the  page  to  record  the  Minutes 
of  each  Meeting  and  likewise  of  the  desirability  of  making 
marginal  notes  indicating  the  subject  matter  of  each  para- 
graph. This  practice  will  prove  exceedingly  useful  in 
ascertaining  information  regarding  items  recorded  in  the 
Minutes. 

We  likewise  recommend  that  new  Lodges  procure  suit- 
able record  books  and  have  them  properly  set  up,  thus 
establishing  the  foundation  for  properly  recording  the  pro- 
ceedings and  records  of  the  Lodge.  Your  Committee  has, 
in  previous  reports,  suggested  that  the  new  Lodge  seek  the 
advice  and  direction  of  the  Grand  Secretary's  office  in  this 
very  important  undertaking. 

We  again  urge  that  this  practice  be  followed  and  indeed 
we  recommend  that  a  circular  be  prepared  by  the  Grand 
Secretary's  office  setting  out  in  detail  the  proper  books  to 
procure  and  also  those  procedures  considered  important  in 
establishing  a  system  whereby  the  proceedings  of  the  new 
Lodge  will  be  properly  recorded. 


188     GRAND    LODGE   OF  CANADA   ANNUAL    COMMUNICATION 


Your  Committee  also  recommends: 

1.  That  copies  of  Lodge  summonses  should  be  retained  and 
periodically  bound.  This  is  a  small  effort  and  enables 
interesting  data  in  connection  with  the  Lodge  to  be 
available  in  an  accessible  form. 

2.  That  new  Lodcres  appoint  an  interested  brother  to  record 
the  history  of  the  Lodge  each  year.  We  suggest  that  a 
plan  be  developed  which  will  assure  that  such  historical 
notes  will  be  comnleted  each  year  and  placed  with  the 
records  of  the  Lodge. 

3.  That  consideration  be  given  by  every  new  Lodge  to  the 
provision  of  a  fireproof  receptacle  which  will  accommodate 
the  Warrant,  the  minute  book,  the  by-laws,  the  member- 
shin  ledger  and  the  history  of  the  Lodge.  The  Warrant 
and  all  records  of  a  Lodge  become  increasingly  valuable 
as  the  years  pass.  It  must  be  realized  that  the  originals, 
if  lost  or  destroyed,  can  never  be  replaced. 

Finally,  your  Committee  wish  to  extend  felicitations  to 
these  new  Lodges  and  we  express  the  hope  that  an  especial 
measure  of  success  will  attend  the  efforts  of  their  officers 
and  members. 

Respectfully  and  fraternally  submitted, 

JAMES  N.  ALLAN. 

Chairman.

REPORT  OF  THE  COMMITTEE  ON 
FRATERNAL  RELATIONS 

This  report  was  presented  by  M.W.  Bro.  H.  L.

TORONTO,    ONTARIO,    1960  189 

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: 

In  presenting  the  report  of  this  Committee  to  Grand 
Lodge,  we  should  like  to  record  our  very  great  sorrow  and 
deep  sense  of  loss  in  the  passing  of  our  Chairman.  M.W.  Bro. 
F.  A.  Copus,  and  other  three  M.W.  Brethren  who  received 
their  call  during  the  last  Masonic  year.  Members  of  our 
Grand  Lodge  will  long  remember  the  contributions  they 
have  made  to  the  work  and  deliberations  of  this  Committee. 
The  main  portion  of  this  report  was  prepai'ed  and  presented 
to  the  Committee  by  our  late  Chairman  just  ten  days  before 
his  final  call  was  answered.  All  that  follows  with  the  ex- 
ception of  the   last  paragraph  was  recorded   by  him. 

In  the  report  presented  by  this  committee  to  Grand 
Lodge  last  year  extended  explanations  were  given  as  to  the 
Committee's  functions.  These  references  were  made  because 
it  was  our  opinion  that  certain  difficulties  were  looming  up 
in  world  Freemasonry  and  that  it  was  desirable  that  our 
position  in  relation  thereto  should  be  stated  quite  definitely. 
We  are  sorry  to  report  that  the  trouble  then  forecasted  has 
now  made  its  appearance,  and  will  necessitate  the  utmost  in 
the  way  of  charitable  study,  if  a  proper  solution  is  to  be 
attained. 

In  our  opinion  the  recent  action  of  the  Grand  Lodges  of 
England,  Ireland  and  Scotland  is  of  outstanding  importance 
for  they  have  definitely  declared  that  they  will  no  longer 
recognize  any  Grand  Lodges  that  are  presently,  or  in  the 
future,  in  amity  with  Grand  Lodges  not  recognized  by  the 
British  Grand  Lodges.  It  is  to  be  borne  in  mind  that  England, 
Ireland  and  Scotland  absolutely  refuse  to  recognize  Grand 
Lodges  who  refuse  to  regard  the  V.O.S.L.  and  the  Father- 
hood of  God  as  fundamental  to  all  true  Freemasonry.  This  is 
the  position  to  which  our  Grand  Lodge  also  steadfastly 
adheres. 

In  announcing  this  position  the  British  Grand  Lodges 
have  brought  into  the  foreground  a  problem  that  has  for  long 
threatened  the  peace  of  the  Masonic  world.  Unquestionably  it 
means  the  severance  of  relations  with  several  of  the  Grand 
Lodges  in  Europe  and  perhaps  with  some  of  the  Grand  Lodges 
in  America  where  in  certain  instances  recognition  has  been 
perhaps  more  generous  than  some  think,  expedient. 

It  will  be  seen  that  discussion  on  this  action  has  a  direct 
bearing  on  the  lately  popular  doctrine  of  "the  Universality  of 
Freemasonry"  as  well  as  the  basic  rule  that  each  Grand  Lodge 
is  master  in  its  own  house.    It  may  be  taken  as  fundamental 


190     GRAND   LODGE    OF  CANADA   ANNUAL    COMMUNICATION 

that  British  Grand  Lodges  have  a  perfect  right  to  recognize 
whom  they  will,  and  also,  that  other  Grand  Lodges  have  an 
equal  right  to  widen  their  borders  if  they  so  desire.  Surely 
then  the  issue  calls  for  cool,  careful,  and  above  all,  charitable 
study. 

For  ourselves  the  matter  presently  concerns  our  Grand 
Lodge  specifically  in  view  of  what  has  happened  in  Germany. 
It  will  be  remembered  that  some  three  years  ago  we  extended 
recognition  to  the  newly-formed  United  Grand  Lodge  of 
Germany.  This  was  their  first  successful  attempt  to  gather 
into  an  organized  entity  the  war-and-persecution  scattered 
lodges  of  Germany.  Within  the  past  two  years  the  German 
Brethren  have  further  extended  their  Grand  Lodge  organiz- 
ation, the  thus  extended  body  being  known  as  the  United 
Grand  Lodges  of  Germany.  This  new  body  is  quite  evidently 
a  larger  and  different  organization  than  the  one  we  recognized 
not  so  long  ago.  To  further  complicate  the  matter,  the  United 
Grand  Lodges  of  Germany  have  extended  recognition  to,  and 
enjoy  fraternal  relations  with  the  Grand  Lodge  of  France,  an 
organization  which  is  not  recognized  by  British  Freemasonry 
nor  by  our  Grand  Lodge.  Hence  the  United  Grand  Lodges  of 
Germany  falls  under  the  dictum  of  the  British  Grand  Lodges. 

The  United  Grand  Lodges  of  Germany  have  forwarded  a 
request  for  recognition  by  our  Grand  Lodge,  creating  a  most 
embarrassing  problem.  It  is  our  recommendation  that  for  the 
present  at  least,  their  request  should  be  laid  over  for  later 
action,  in  the  hope  that  time  and  further  study  may  offer  a 
proper  solution. 

Just  last  month  we  have  been  officially  informed  that 
five  lodges  in  Belgium  have  broken  away  from  the  Grand 
Orient  of  Belgium  and  formed  themselves  into  a  Grand  Lodge 
under  the  name  "GRANDE  LOGE  DE  BELGIQUE".  The 
reason  given  for  the  severance  was  that  the  Grand  Orient  had 
constantly  refused  to  adopt  the  presence  of  the  Bible  and  the 
traditional  invocation  to  the  G.A.O.T.U.  in  all  Belgian  Lodges. 
We  have  been  asked  to  extend  official  recognition  to  this  new 
Grand  Lodge.  Since  our  information  is  quite  limited  about 
them  at  the  present  and  since  we  have  not  received  a  copy  of 
their  Constitution  as  yet,  the  Committee  recommends  that 
action  on  their  request  be  deferred  to  a  later  date. 

Respectfully  and  fraternally  submitted, 

H.  L.  MARTYN, 

Chairman.

REPORT  OF  THE  COMMITTEE  ON 
CONSTITUTION  AND  LAWS 

This  report  was  presented  by  M.W.  Bro.  T.  H. 
Simpson,  Chairman,  and  on  motion  of  the  Deputy 
Grand  Master,  seconded  by  Al.W.  Bro.  Simpson,  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  Committee  on  Constitution  and  Laws  begs  leave  to 
report  as  follows: 

PARTI 

The  following  Notices  of  Motion  dated  April  28th,  1960, 
were  given  by  M.W.  Bro.  J.  A.  Heam: 

(a)  That  Section  215  of  the  Constitution  be  amended  by 
deleting  the  words  "twelve  dollars"  in  line  four  and  sub- 
stituting therefor  the  words  "twenty  dollars";  and  by 
adding  at  the  end  of  the  section  the  words  "except  as 
provided  in  Section  245,  subsection  (m)." 

(b)  That  Section  245,  subsection  (j)  of  the  Constitution  be 
amended  by  deleting  the  words  "three  dollars"  in  line  one 
and  substituting  therefor  the  words  "five  dollars". 

(c)  That  Section  245,  subsection  (1),  of  the  Constitution,  be 
amended  by  deleting  the  words  "fifty  cents"  in  line  two 
and  substituting  therefor  the  words  "one  dollar". 

(d)  That  Section  245,  subsection  (m)  of  the  Constitution,  be 
deleted  and  the  following  subsection  substituted  therefor: 

"Subsection  (m) — For  every  member  of  each  lodge  whose 
fees  have  not  been  commuted  to  Grand  Lodge,  including 
honorary  and  charter  members,  one  dollar  and  twenty 
cents  per  annum,  of  which  sixty  cents  shall  be  used  for 
benevolent  purposes  only,  and  sixty  cents  shall  be  paid 
into  the  general  fund.  For  every  member  whose  fees 
have  been  commuted  to  Grand  Lodge,  the  lodge  shall  pay 
ten  cents  per  annum  into  the  general  fund." 

Your  Committee  has  been  advised  that  M.W.  Bro.  Hearn 
proposes  to  change  his  Notice  of  Motion  by  striking  out  and 
deleting  the  last  sentence  of  proposed  amendment   (d)   and 


192      GRAND    LODGE    OF    CANADA   ANNUAL    COMMUNICATION 

by  substituting  the  following  sentence  in  the  place  and  stead 
thereof.  "For  every  member  whose  fees  shall  be  commuted 
to  Grand  Lodge  after  July  21st,  1960  the  lodge  shall  pay  ten 
cents  per  annum  into  the  general  fund". 

Your  Committee  has  considered  these  Notices  of  Motion 
along  with  this  proposed  change  in  the  last  sentence  of 
paragraph  (d).  There  is  no  constitutional  objection  to  the 
proposed  amendments  with  this  change  in  the  last  paragraph 
and  the  last  sentence  of  paragraph  (d). 

PART  II 

Concurrent  Jurisdiction 

(a)  Doric  Lodge,  No.  289,  Merrill  Lodge,  No.  344,  Delaware 
Valley  Lodge,  No.  358,  King  Solomon  Lodge,  No.  394, 
Middlesex  Lodge,  No.  379,  Henderson  Lodge,  No.  388, 
Moffatt  Lodge,  No.  399  and  Myra  Lodge,  No.  529,  all  in 
the  London  District,  have  petitioned,  requesting  that  they 
be  granted  concurrent  jurisdiction  with  the  various  other 
lodges  in  the  City  of  London  and  in  the  London  District. 
All  lodges  in  this  District  are  within  a  radius  of  ap- 
proximately twenty  miles  of  the  City  of  London.  All  of 
the  other  lodges  in  the  District,  including  all  those  in 
the  City  of  London,  have  signified  their  approval  of  this 
petition,  but  one  of  these  lodges  has  recommended  that 
the  initiation  fees  of  these  eight  petitioning  lodges  should 
be  brought  in  line  with  the  city  lodges.  Your  Committee 
has  considered  this  recommendation.  Other  lodges  in  the 
District  were  given  concurrent  jurisdiction  in  1959,  and 
some  previously,  and  no  such  recommendation  was  then 
made  and  no  condition  attached.  Your  Committee  feels 
that  this  matter  of  fees  must  be  left  to  the  discretion  of 
each  lodge.  The  granting  of  the  petitioners'  application 
will  mean  that  the  twenty-four  lodges  in  the  London 
District  will  have  concurrent  jm-isdiction  with  each  other. 
Your  Committee  can  see  no  objection  to  this  and,  there- 
fore, recommends  that  the  eight  lodges  named  in  the 
petition,  together  with  any  other  lodges  hereafter 
located  within  the  jurisdiction  of  the  said  eight  lodges, 
shall  be  granted  concurrent  jurisdiction  with  the  various 
other  lodges  in  the  City  of  London  and  in  the  London 
District  as  requested  in  this  application,  the  change  to 
be  effective  forthwith. 

(b)  Keewatin  Lodge,  No.  417,  Keewatin;  Pequonga  Lodge, 
Xo.  414,  Kenora;  and  Lake  of  the  Woods  Lodge,  No.  445, 
Kenora;  all  in  Western  District  and  located  around  the 
end  of  Lake  of  the  Woods  and  in  or  within  four  miles  of 
Kenora,  have  petitioned  asking  that  they  be  granted 
concurrent  jurisdiction  with  each  other.  Your  Committee 
heartily  endorses  this  proposal  and  recommends  that  the 


TORONTO,    ONTARIO,    1960  193 

three  petitioning-  lodges  and  any  other  lodges  which  may 
hereafter  be  located  within  the  jurisdiction  of  such  three 
lodges  shall  hereafter  have  concurrent  jurisdiction  with

194     GRAND   LODGE   OF  CANADA   ANNUAL   COMMUNICATION 

REPORT  OF  THE  COMMITTEE  ON 
FRATERNAL  DEAD 

This  report  was  presented  by  R.W.  Bro.  D.  J. 
Gunn,  Chairman,  and  on  motion  of  the  Deputy 
Grand  Master,  seconded  by  R.W.  Bro.  Gunn,  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  the  duty  of  this  Committee  each  year  to  report  to 
the  Board  of  General  Purposes  and  to  Grand  Lodge  the 
names  of  the  Grand  Lodge  Officers,  past  and  present,  who 
have  finished  their  earthly  pilgrimage  and  passed  to  the 
Grand  Lodge  Above.  Our  losses  during  the  last  twelve 
months  have  been  almost  without  precedent  in  that  four 
Past  Grand  Masters  and  two  Honorary  Members  of  the 
Board  of  General  Purposes  have  been  called  to  a  higher 
service  in  that  edifice  not  made  with  hands,  eternal  in  the 
heavens. 


Many  other  brethren  who  were  pillars  of  Masonry  in 
their  own  districts  and  Lodges  have  also  gone  from  among 
us  and  we  are  saddened  as  we  think  of  the  loss  the  Craft 
has  sustained.  It  is  given  to  but  few  Masons  to  become 
Grand  Masters  but  many  become  officers  and  members  of 
Grand  Lodge.  The  continuing  contribution  of  the  past 
Grand  Lodge  officers  in  all  parts  of  this  Grand  Jurisdiction 
is  of  great  importance  to  our  fraternity  and  we  gratefully 
remember  many  such  men.  Some  were  perhaps  not  widely 
known  outside  of  their  own  districts,  but  their  example  and 
influence  will  be  sorely  missed  by  those  who  knew  them  best. 
In  recording  some  of  the  history  and  achievements  of  the 
most  distinguished  of  our  honoured  dead,  we  are  not  unmind- 
ful of  the  many  other  brethren  who  also  faithfully  served, 
though  in  a  less  exalted  office. 

The  M.W.  the  Grand  Master  in  his  Address  to  Grand 
Lodge  has  no  doubt  paid  deserved  and  fitting  tribute  to  his 
gifted  predecessors  in  office  who  have  entered'  into  their 
eternal  rest  and  also  to  the  two  eminent  Masons  who  were 
Honorary  Members  of  the  Board  of  General  Purposes.  It 
is  not  the  intention  of  this  Committee  to  encroach  upon  his 
prerogative  in  this  regard  or  to  duplicate  his  account  of  the 
distinguished  careers  of  our  leaders  of  other  years. 


TORONTO,    ONTARIO,    1960  195 

Nevertheless,  this  Committee  has  its  own  obligation  to 
place  on  record  its  tribute  of  respect  and  gratitude  for  the 
lives  and  examples  of  those  familiar  figures  who  will  be 
with  us  no  more. 

Under  the  circumstances,  it  is  perhaps  fitting  that  we 
briefly  outline  some  of  the  outstanding  characteristics  of 
six  of  our  honoured  dead  that,  in  addition  to  paying  our 
tribute  to  their  memories,  the  living  may  be  inspired  to 
greater  endeavours  to  emulate  their  virtues. 

The  Dean  of  our  Past  Grand  Masters,  M.W.  Bro.  Frank 
Armitage  Copus  —  dignified,  courteous,  with  his  fine  choice 
of  words  and  great  good  sense,  was  always  deeply  concerned 
with  the  welfare  of  the  Craft  wherever  dispersed  over  the 
face  of  the  earth.  In  his  latter  years  as  Chairman  of  the 
Committees  on  Fraternal  Relations  and  Fraternal  Correspond- 
ence, he  rendered  unique  and  most  valuable  service  to  this 
Grand  Lodge  which  future  Chairmen  of  those  Committees  will 
find  it  difficult  to  equal.  In  July,  1939,  he  had  the  memorable 
experience  in  company  with  the  late  M.W.  Bro.  Dargavel  of 
attending  an  Especial  Communication  of  the  United  Grand 
Lodge  of  England,  in  London,  where  distinguished  Masons 
from  Grand  Jurisdictions  around  the  earth  witnessed  the 
instai'Iation  by  the  late  M.W.  Bro.  King  George  the  Sixth  of 
his  brother,  the  Duke  of  Kent,  as  Grand  Master  of  the  United 
Grand  Lodge  of  England. 

M.W.  Bro.  John  Alexander  McRae  was  a  truly  modest 
gentleman  and  eminent  educationist  who  served  Queen's 
University  for  forty-three  years  as  a  member  of  the  Depart- 
ment of  Chemistry  and  for  the  last  fifteen  of  those  years 
as  head  of  that  Department.  Absorbed  in  his  laboratory,  he 
made  outstanding  contributions  to  chemistry  research,  partic- 
ularly in  the  field  of  drugs  and  dyes.  His  reputation  in  this 
field  was  international  and  was  recognized  by  his  election 
as  a  Fellow  of  the  Institute  of  Chemistry  of  the  United 
Kingdom  and  Ireland  and  by  Manchester  University  conferring 
on  him  the  Honorary  Degree  of  Doctor  of  Science  in  1952. 

M.W.  Bro.  Chas.  Stanton  Hamilton  was  a  successful 
business  man;  in  appearance  the  very  picture  of  the  President 
or  Chairman  of  the  Board  of  a  large  corporation.  Sound  in 
judgment,  he  was  the  most  approachable  of  men.  Installing 
Masters  sought  his  assistance  in  the  ceremony  of  Installation 
and  Investiture  and  his  abilities  as  a  ritualist  were  much 
admired,  not  only  in  our  Lodges  but  in  the  Ancient  and 
Accepted  Scottish  Rite  as  well.  He  was  the  Dean  of  the 
active  members  of  Supreme  Council  and  also  Grand  Treasurer 
General  of  the  Ancient  and  Accepted  Scottish  Rite  for  the 
Dominion  of  Canada. 

M.W.  Bro.  Nelson  Collins  Hart  achieved  distinction  in 
three  different  fields;  those  of  education  and  amateur  sports 


196     GRAND    LODGE  OF    CANADA   ANNUAL   COMMUNICATION 

as  well  as  that  of  Masonry.  A  member  of  the  Department  of 
Botany  of  the  University  of  Western  Ontario  for  many  years, 
he  had  been  head  of  that  Department  for  some  time  prior 
to  his  retirement.  Keenly  interested  in  amateur  athletics, 
he  was  actively  associated  with  Canada's  participation  in  the 
Olympic  Games,  serving  as  Honorary  Secretary  of  the  Can- 
adian Olympic  Association  and  later  as  General  Manager  of 
the  Canadian  Olympic  team.  In  recent  years,  Grand  Lodge 
received  .the  benefit  of  his  fine  mind  and  rich  experience  as 
Chairman  of  the  Committee  on  Fraternal  Correspondence. 

R.W.  Bro.  Smith  Shaw  was  a  dynamic  Scotsman  who 
oame  to  Canada  in  1909,  settling  in  Stratford,  where  he  first 
saw  the  light  of  Masonry  in  Tecumseh  Lodge,  No.  144,  be- 
coming its  W.M.  in  1915.  He  later  moved  to  Toronto  and 
was  the  leading  spirit  in  the  organization  of  Kilwinning 
Lodge,  No.  565,  and  was  its  first  Master  in  1920.  A  Past  D.D. 
G.M.  of  Toronto  District  "A",  he  was  a  member  of  the  Board 
of  General  Purposes  for  a  number  of  years'  and  later  was 
made  an  Honorary  Member.  Possessed  of  a  great  natural 
ability  and  energy,  he  was  a  strong  figure  in  Masonic  circles' 
for  more  than  two  decades.  The  Chairman  of  this  Committee, 
a  personal  friend,  visited  him  shortly  before  his  death  and, 
although  his  body  was  sadly  wasted,  his  mind  was  clear  and 
the  welfare  of  'the  Craft  was  still  most  dear  to  his  heart. 

R.W.  Bro.  John  Ness  was  also  born  in  Scotland  where  he 
first  saw  the  light  of  Masonry  in  St.  Stephens  Lodge,  No.  145. 
Employed  with  the  Geological  Survey  of  his  native  land  for 
some  years,  he  came  to  Canada  in  1919  and  joined  the  staff 
of  a  large  oil  company  with  which  organisation  he  remained 
until  his  retirement.  His  services  to  that  industry  were 
highly  valued,  resulting  in  his  being  awarded  the  Leonard 
Gold  Medal,  and  he  was  also  made  a  life  member  of  the 
Canadian  Institute  of  Mining  and  Metallurgy.  He  was  richly 
endowed  with  the  gifts  of  eloquence  and  humour  and  was 
a  prolific  writer  on  Masonic  topics. 

Despite  the  great  losses  we  have  sustained  in  the  deaths 
of  these  and  other  splendid  M'asons,  time  moves  remorse- 
lessly on,  and  the  future,  as  always,  challenges  the  living 
to  fill  the  gaps.  This,  too,  in  an  age  that  abounds  in  problems 
of  grave  import  and  when  the  demands  on  the  time  and 
abilities  of  men  are  many  and  varied.  Will  our  belief  in  the 
Craft,  its  philosophy  and  way  of  life  prove  as  great  as  that 
■of  those  we  mown?  We  may  well  gather  inspiration  and 
strength  as  we  think  of  the  faith  and  devotion  of  our  honour- 
ed dead,  which  was  so  eloquently  expressed  by  one  of  them: 

"For,  having  carried  us  to  the  intellectual  mountain-tops 
and  set  our  feet  on  the  highest  metaphysical  pinnacle, 
Masonry  does  not   adjure   us   to  look  down  into   the  pit  of 


TORONTO,    ONTARIO,    1960  197 

mental  perplexity  from  which  philosophy  has  rescued  us;  it 
does  not  invite  us  to  look  around  at  the  self-attained  heights 
of  moral  rectitude;  it  implores  us,  with  almost  desperate 
urgency,  to  lift  our  eyes  still  higher  that,  up  and  beyond,  we 
may  catch  a  glimpse  of  that  Bright  Morning  Star  which 
shall  arise  to  bring  us  peace  and  salvation. 

"But,  having'  anticipated  our  need,  Masonry  has  placed 
in  our  hands  the  Volume  of  the  Sacred  Law  and,  resting  on 
that  Holy  Book,  is  the  ladder  with  many  staves  or  rounds, 
the  first  of  which  is  Faith;  that  faith  in  which  our  fathers 
and  their  fathers  lived  and  died;  that  deep-rooted  faith  which 
springs  from  unshakable  belief;  that  faith  which  will  shine 
through  the  gloom  and  illumine  our  pathway  into  the  un- 
known." 

Such  also  was,  we  believe,  the  faith  of  all  our  honoured 
dead.    May  we,  too,  be  able  to  say  with  the  poet: 

"I  know  not  what  the  future  hath 
Of  marvel  or  surprise 
Assured  alone  that  life  and  death 
His  mercy  underlies." 

With  gratitude  to  the  Great  Architect  of  the  Universe 
for  their  lives  and  example,  we  remember  these  departed 
brethren.

The  thanks  of  this  Committee  is  extended  to  the  Grand

who  have  assisted  in  supplying  the  necessary  information.

REPORT  OF  THE  COMMITTEE  ON 
THE  CONDITION  OF  MASONRY 

This  report  was  presented  by  R.W.  Bro.  M.  C. 
Cain,  Chairman,  and  on  motion  of  the  Deputy  Grand 
Master,  seconded  by  R.W.  Bro.  Cain,  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: 

In  these  times  when  all  democratic  institutions,  including 
Masonry,  are  beinsr  undermined  by  sinister  ideologies  _  it  is 
advisable  for  us  to  reflect  on  the  words  of  the  late  Sir  William 
Osier  who  said,  "Forget  the  errors  of  the  Past,  pull  down 
the  curtains  on  the  uncertainties  of  the  Future  and  lay  a  firm 
hold  on  the  problems  of  the  Present."  What  is  the  condition 
of  Masonry  in  this  Grand  Jurisdiction  ? 

This  summary  is  based  in  part  on  the  available  reports 
of  the  District  Deputy  Grand  Masters,  who  by  their  untiring 
efforts  and  devotion  to  duty  have  materially  influenced  the 
condition  of  Masonry  in  their  respective  districts.  The 
District  Deputies,  without  exception,  expressed  their  sincere 
thanks  for  the  privilege  of  representing  the  Most  Worshipful 
the  Grand  Master.  They  commented  on  the  gracious  and 
traditional  receptions  which  they  received  thereby  affirming 
the  fraternal  esteem  and  respect  with  which  our  Grand 
Master  is  held  in  all  parts  of  this  Grand  Jurisdiction. 

In  every  report  comments  were  mads  on  the  efficient 
service  rendered  by  the  District  Secretaries,  who  relieved  the 
District  Deputy  Grand  Masters  of  many  routine  duties. 
Several  references  were  made  regarding  the  diligence  of 
Lodge  Secretaries.  The  finances  of  the  Lodges,  with  a  few 
exceptions,  appear  to  be  on  a  sound  basis.  One  District 
Deputy  Grand  Master  suggested  that  lodge  finances  might  be 
improved  if  the  Initiation  fee  and  Lodge  dues  were  com- 
mensurate with  the  present  cost  of  living.     Of  the  twenty- 


208      GRAND    LODGE  OF   CANADA   ANNUAL    COMMUNICATION 

nine  available  reports,  twenty-eight  classed  the  work  from 
good  to  excellent.  The  suggestion  has  been  made  that  this 
is  due  in  part  to  the  Lodges  of  Instruction  which  have  been 
held  in  many  districts,  and  augur  well  for  the  future  of  the 
Craft.  Some  reports  indicate  that  interest  is  being  created 
in  Lodges  by  having  members  take  appropriate  parts  in  the 
ritualistic  work.  Several  comments  were  made  on  the  excel- 
lent calibre  of  candidates  seeking  admission  to  the  Order 
which  speakes  well  for  the  future  of  Masonry  in  this  Grand 
Jurisdiction.  Seventeen  of  the  available  District  reports 
indicate  that  Blood  Donor  Committees  were  appointed  and  in 
some  cases  the  results'  have  been  excellent.  In  nine  reports 
the  District  Deputy  Grand  Masters  expressed  their  joy  in 
presenting  to  senior  members  of  the  Craft  the  various  Grand 
Lodge  medals  in  recognition  of  years  of  service  and  faithful- 
ness to  their  Lodges,  their  Districts'  and  to  Masonry  in  general. 
This  Committee  extends  to  these  brethren  its  sincere  con- 
gratulations. The  reports  indicate  that  the  social  side  of 
Masonry  was  not  neglected  and  many  pleasant  evenings  were 
enjoyed  by  the  brethren,  their  wives  and  friends.  From 
these  comments  we  feel  justified  in  stating  that  prosperity 
and  harmony  prevail  throughout  our  Grand  Jurisdiction. 

Only  two  District  reports  commented  on  lodge  attendance. 
It  is  generally  accepted  that  attendance  at  the  Regular  and 
Emergent  meetings  is  a  problem  common  to  most  Lodges  in 
this  Grand  Jurisdiction.  In  an  effort  to  arrive  at  a  fairly 
accurate  figure  your  Committee  made  a  spot  survey  in  7 
Districts  comprising  86  Lodges  in  an  effort  to  determine  the 
average  percentage  attendance  of  resident  members  only, 
at  the  Regular  and  Emergent  meetings,  in  small,  medium  and 
large  Lodges,  in  both  urban  and  rural  districts.  This  survey 
revealed  the  startling  fact  that  the  average  attendance  was 
about  twenty  percent.  This  figure  should  impress  on  every 
Worshipful  Master,  officer  and  member  that  he  has  a  re- 
sponsibility to  do  every  thing  in  his  power  to  increase  the 
attendance  in  his  own  Lodge. 

The  size  of  our  Lodges'  is  a  factor  which  influences  the 
condition  of  Masonry.  The  Grand  Secretary  in  his  Annual 
Report  of  1959  showed  the  number  of  Warranted  Lodges  to 
be  608.  A  breakdown  of  this  re-port  reveals  that  there  were 
94  Lodges  with  a  membership  under  100  members;  228  Lodges 
between  100  and  200;  130  Lodges  between  200  and  300;  88 
Lodges  between  300  and  400;  48  Lodges  between  400  and  500; 
12  Lodges  between  500  and  600;  7  Lodges  between  600  and 
700;  and  one  Lodge  over  700  members.  The  reports  on  per- 
centage attendance  indicate  that,  generally  speaking,  the 
larger  the  Lodge  the  lower  the  percentage  attendance.  This 
fact  reminds  us  again  of  the  desirability  of  more  and  smaller 
Lodges  where  accomodation  is  obtainable. 

An  institution,  such  as  Masonry,  must  be  built  on  the 
solid   foundation'  of  Eternal    Truth  if  it  is   to  survive  and 


TORONTO,    ONTARIO,    1960  209 

prosper  in  this  rapidly  changing  world.  The  reports  indicate 
a  Chaplain  was  appointed  in  every  District,  and  rendered 
excellent  service  by  assisting  the  District  Deputy  Grand 
Masters  in  their  work;  officiating  at  the  District  Divine 
Services  bringing  to  the  brethren  a  message  on  the  Eternal 
verities  of  life.  It  is  interesting  to  note  that,  except  in  two 
Districts,  the  Chaplain  was  a  member  of  the  clergy.  It  is 
noted  that  our  Grand  Chaplain  travelled  far  and  wide  in 
this  Grand  Jurisdiction  in  the  discharge  of  his  official  duties, 
as  well  as  bringing  to  our  attention  that  if  Masonry  is  to 
maintain  a  strong  position  in  the  mind  of  man  it  must  be 
"free  in  its  faith;  fraternal  in  its  fellowship  and  fruitful  in 
its  work".  In  all  District  reports,  except  two,  there  was  at 
least  one  District  Divine  Service,  while  manv  Lodges  also 
had  their  own  Church  Services.  The  attendance  at  these 
services  attested  the  place  the  Church  occupies  in  our 
Fraternity. 

Your  Committee  has  noted  an  increase  in  the  number  of 
visits  between  Lodges;  no  doubt,  it  has  been  made  possible 
by  the  ease  of  transportation.  These  visits  are  to  be  highly 
commended  since  they  tend  toward  the  standardization  and 
improvement  of  the  work.  They  also  afford  the  opportunity 
of  cementing  and  enlarging  our  fellowship.  Reports  indicate 
that  some  Lodges  near  the  Provincial  borders  have  an  inter- 
change of  visits  with  Lodges  in  the  adjoining  province.  It 
is  noted  that  several  Lodges  make  visits  across  the  Inter- 
national border  strengthening  the  bonds  of  International 
Brotherhood  which  is  the  Corner  Stone  of  our  Craft. 

Elbert  Hubbard  said,  "Knowledge  is  a  matter  of  desire." 
Our  Grand  Librarian  reports  more  brethren  are  using  our 
library.  This  is  encouraging  as  it  indicates  an  increased 
interest  in  the  History,  Symbolism  and  Philosophy  of  the 
Craft  thereby  instilling  in  the  mind  of  the  brethren  a  more 
extensive  understanding  and  appreciation  of  our  Masonic 
heritage.  It  is  noted  that  the  Grand  Lodge  Bulletin  is  wel- 
comed by  the  brethren  since  it  furnishes  messages  of  inspir- 
ation as  well  as  interesting  news  from  our  sister  Lodges. 

It  is  gratifying  to  note  that  several  new  Temples  have 
been  erected  during  the  past  Masonic  year  while  others  aie 
in  the  planning  stage,  which  is  evidence  of  sustained  Masonic 
activity.  The  reports  also  indicate  that  some  of  the  older 
Temples  are  being  renovated  providing  greater  accommo- 
dation and  comfort  thus  stimulating  interest  among  the 
brethren  of  the  Lodges.  These  encouraging  signs  of  progress 
are  sure  evidence  of  the  healthy  condition  of  the  Craft. 

The  work  of  the  Past  Masters'  Associations  was  favour- 
ably commented  on  in  thirteen  of  the  District  Reports.  In 
these  Associations  problems  common  to  the  district  are  dealt 


210      GRAND    LODGE   OF  CANADA    ANNUAL   COMMUNICATION 

with  and  appropriate  programmes  are  presented.  These 
groups  provide  an  opportunity  for  Past  Masters  to  keep  in 
touch  with  Masonic  affairs  after  they  have  relinquished  the 
responsibilities  of  office  and  at  the  same  time  offer  the 
privilege  of  discussing  Masonic  problems  in  an  informal 
atmosphere.  Many  districts  have  Wardens'  Associations 
which  are  thriving1.  These  Associations  provide  excellent 
preparation  for  the  future  occupant  of  the  Master's  Chair; 
life  long  friendships  are  farmed,  and  the  opportunity  is  given 
for  discussion  of  matters  of  common  interest.  Your  Com- 
mittee commends  these  organizations  for  the  service  they  are 
rendering  to  the  welfare  of  the  Craft. 

"Thy  are  not  dead  who  live  in  the  hearts  of  their  friends 
and  brethren."  At  this  Communication  of  Grand  Lodge  we 
are  deeply  conscious  of  a  great  loss  by  the  death  of  four  of 
our  Past  Grand  Masters — M.W.  Bro.  F.  A.  Copus,  M.W.  Bro. 
J.  A.  McRae,  M.W.  Bro.  C.  S.  Hamilton  and  M.W.  Bro. 
N.  C.  Hart.  During  their  Masonic  life  and  particularly  when 
serving  as  Grand  Master,  these  brethren  gave  of  their  time 
and  energies,  never  counting  the  cost.  The  condition  of 
Masonry  in  our  Grand  Jurisdiction  has  been  enhanced  by 
their  devoted  and  unselfish  service,  and  their  influence  will 
be  felt  in  the  years  which  lie  ahead.  We  pay  our  homage  to 
our  departed  and  distinguished  brethren  in  the  words  of  the 
poet  who  said: 

"So  when  great  men  die 
For  years  beyond  our  ken 
The  lights  they  leave  behind  them,  lie 
Upon  the  paths  of  men." 

Emerson  has  said,  "Every  great  institution  is  the  length- 
ened shadow  of  a  single  man."  We  are  fortunate  to  have  as 
the  head  of  our  Order  one  so  devoted  to  the  interest  of  our 
fraternity.  His  matchless  energy,  Masonic  fervour,  and 
Christian  ideals  stamp  him  as  the  leader  of  our  Craft. 
Our  hope  is  that  the  years  which  lie  ahead  will  bless  him 
with  health  that  he  may  continue  to  give  of  his  time  and 
wise  counsel. 

When  we  review  the  condition  of  Masonry  in  this  Grand 
Jurisdiction  in  the  past  Masonic  year  we  realize  we  have 
much  to  be  thankful  for.  There  does  not  appear  to  be  cause 
for  either  too  much  concern  or  undue  elation.  We  have 
problems  to  -solve  which  are  common  to  most  Grand  Jurisdic- 
tions in  the  Masonic  world,  but  if  each  of  us  will  do  his  part 
then  satisfactory  solutions  will  be  forthcoming.  We  can  then 
assume  a  measure  of  humble  pride  in  our  preferment,  and 
face  the  world  as  moral  responsible  men  with  Charity  in  our 
hearts  and  God  in  our  minds.  With  these  thoughts  in  mind, 
let  us  dedicate  ourselves  with  the  words  of  Sir  Owen  Seaman 
who  said: 


TORONTO,    ONTARIO.    1960 


"To  steel  our  souls  against  the  lust  of  ease; 
To  find  our  welfare  in  the  general  good; 
To  hold  together,  merging-  all  degrees 
In  one  wide  brotherhood. 

To  teach  that  he  who  saves  himself  is  lost; 
To  bear  in  silence  though  our  hearts  may  bleed; 
To  spend  ourselves  and  never  count  the  cost, 
To  others   greater  need." 


Respectfully  and  fraternally  submitted,

REPORT  OF  THE  COMMITTEE  ON 
MASONIC  EDUCATION 

This  report  was  presented  by  R.W.  Bro.  B.  B. 
Foster,  Chairman,  and  on  motion  of  the  Deputy 
Grand  Master,  seconded  by  R.W.  Bro.  Foster  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: 

Your  Committee  on  Masonic  Education  is  pleased  to 
report  its  activities  in  this  Grand  Juridicton  for  the  year 
1959-60. 

With  great  regret  we  record  the  passing,  during  the  year, 
of  two  valued  members  of  the  Committee,  M.W.  Bro.  J.  A. 
McRae  and  M.W.  Bro.  N.  C.  Hart,  both  Past  Grand  Masters. 
M.W.  Bro.  McRae  was  a  member  of  the  Committee  from 
1947  to  1960.  M.W.  Bro.  Hart  was  a  member  from  1938  until 
his  passing  in  1959.  He  was  Chairman  from  1941  to  1949 
when  he  became  Deputy  Grand  Master.  Their  contribution 
to  the  expansion  and  effectiveness  of  the  work  of  the  Com- 
mittee cannot  be  overestimated.  We  shall  miss  their  wise 
counsel  sorely. 

At  the  beginning  of  the  year  M.W.  Bro.  H.  L.  Martyn, 
Custodian  of  the  Work  and  a  member  of  this  Committee, 
held  instructional  meetings  with  the  District  Deputy  Grand 
Masters  in  small  groups  in  various  centres  of  the  Jurisdic- 
tion. Your  Chairman  was  privileged  to  attend  the  meeting 
held  in  North  Bay.  During  the  course  of  these  meetings, 
the  work  of  the  Committee  on  Masonic  Education  was  das- 
cussed  in  detail.  Since  the  meetings  were  held  in  different 
centres,  it  was  possible  to  make  the  discussions  apply  to 
particular  areas  and  to  the  problems1  concerned  with  Masonic 
Education  in  those  areas.  Doing  so  enabled  the  District 
Deputy  Grand  Masters  to  begin  their  year  in  this  area  of 
our  work  with  greater  confidence. 


TORONTO.    ONTARIO,    1960  213 

During  the  year  five  general  communication  have  been 
forwarded  from  the  Chairman's  office  to  the  members  of  the 
Committee,  to  the  District  Deputy  Grand  Masters,  to  the 
Supervisors  of  Masonic  Education,  to  the  several  Lodges, 
through  the  courtesy  of  the  District  Deputy  Grand  Masters, 
and  to  others  who  requested  them.  Four  of  these  com- 
munications were  accompanied  by  bulletins  related  to  the 
symbolism  and  the  philosophy  of  the  Craft.  The  fifth  was 
the  usual  summary  form  for  the  District  report  on  the  work 
of  the  year.  A  large  percentage  of  the  Lodges  reporting 
seem  to  have  appreciated  these  bulletins,  since  they  urge 
their  continuance. 

Three  issues  of  the  "Syllabus  of  Instruction"  have  been 
distributed  to  the  individual  Lodges  through  the  Grand 
Secretary's  office.  The  Committee  wishes  to  thank  R.W.  Bro. 
J.  J.  Talman,  Grand  Senior  Warden,  for  the  preparation  of 
the  third  issue.  It  would  appear  from  the  District  reports 
that  this  publication  is  being  used  by  a  fair  number  of  the 
Lodges  to  encourage  the  formation  of  study  groups,  and 
your  Committee  recommends  that  this  procedure  be  continued. 
We  have,  however,  come  to  the  disturbing  conclusion,  from 
the  District  reports,  that  some  Lodges  still  have  never  heard 
of  the  Syllabus! 

District  Supervisors  are  the  co-orddnators  and  directors 
of  the  Masonic  Education  programme  carried  on  in  each 
District.  The  general  success  of  this  work  can  be  attributed 
to  these  untiring  Brethren.  Only  one  District  was  without 
a  Supervisor  this  past  year.  This  is  a  most  satisfactory 
condition.  Your  Committee  hopes  that  each  District  will 
continue  to  appoint  Supervisors. 

From  the  Thirty-five  District  Reports,  we  are  pleased  to 
record  an  increase  in  the  purchase  of  the  Manual  for  Masonic 
Students  and  Instructors.  We  hasten  to  observe,  however, 
that  this  increase  represents  less  than  ten  per  cent  of  the 
average  number  of  initiates  for  any  one  year.  We  should  find 
some  way  of  informing  newly-made  Masons  that  this  volume 
is  available  to  them,  by  purchase,  through  the  Lodge  Secre- 
tary. By  doing  so  we  micrht  interest  more  of  our  members 
in  the  satisfying  work  of  Masonic  Education. 

We  find  this  year  that  the  number  of  lodge  meetings  at 
which  some  type  of  Masonic  Education  was  included  remained 
about  equal  to  that  of  last  year,  and  the  same  parallel  is 
apparent  in  the  number  of  District  Meetings.  The  most 
frequent  suggestions  for  the  promotion  of  Masonic  Education 
were  short  talks  and  panel  discussions.  One  District  pro- 
posed making  the  Immediate  Past  Master  Chairman  of  the 
Masonic  Education  Committee  in  his  Lodge  to  improve  the 
direction  of  the  lodge  programme. 


214      GRAND    LODGE    OF    CANADA   ANNUAL    COMMUNICATION 

Each  candidate  must  profess  himself  to  be  actuated  by 
a  desire  for  knowledge.  Each  Lodge  Committee  should  make 
new  members  acquainted  with  sources  of  information  so  that 
those  members  may  widen  their  search  for  that  knowledge. 
Abraham  Lincoln  said,  "You  cannot  help  men  permanently  by 
doing  for  them  what  they  could  and  should  do  for  themselves." 
In  the  light  of  this  observation,  let  us  organize  more  study 
groups  where  progressive  enlightenment  may  be  promoted. 
Initiation  alone  can  never  make  a  true  Mason;  it  gives  the 
key,  but  the  possession  of  the  key  does  not  constitute  owner- 
ship of  the  treasure;  it  sows  the  seed,  but  unless  the  soil  is 
good  and  is  carefully  cultivated,  fruit  will  not  be  produced; 
it  lays  the  foundation,  but  without  labour  by  the  individual 
himself,  the  superstructure  cannot  be  raised. 

The  Committee  would  like  to  express  its  appreciation  to 
the  District  Deputy  Grand  Masters,  the  Supervisors,  and  all 
the  brethren  who  have  assisted  in  the  Masonic  Education 
programme  this  year.  We  hope  that  they  have  found  thedr 
experience  most  satisfying  and  will  continue  to  serve  in 
some  capacity.  We  also  wish  to  thank  the  Grand  Secretary 
for  mailing  out  the  Syllabus  of  Instruction  to  the  Lodges. 

Respectfully  and  fraternally  submitted, 

BRUCE  B.  FOSTER, 

Chairman. 


REPORT  OF  BLOOD  DONORS'  COMMITTEE 

This  report  was  presented  by  R.W.  Bro.  F.  D. 
Shannon,  Chairman,  and  on  motion  of  the  Deputy 
Grand  Master,  seconded  by  R.W.  Bro.  Shannon,  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: 

Your  Blood  Donors'  Committee  begs  to  present  its  Third 
Annual  Report  to  the  One  Hundred  and  Fifth  Annual  Com- 
munication of  Grand  Lodge. 

Increasing  progress  has  been  the  experience  of  the  Com- 
mittee this  year.  More  Lodges  are  being  represented  at  the 
Red  Cross  Blood  Donor  Clinics,  and  more  and  more  Masons 
are  helping  by  supplying  much  needed  blood  for  use  in  hospi- 
tals scattered  over  the  length  and  breadth  of  this  Jurisdiction. 


TORONTO,    ONTARIO,    1960  215 

More  Masons  are  awakening  to  the  need  to  give,  firstly  so  that 
a  supply  of  blood  will  be  more  readily  available,  and  secondly 
that  they  may  have  a  greater  appreciation  and  love  for  Free- 
masonry from  having  participated  in  this  its  greatest  Charity. 

This  year  the  District  Deputy  Grand  Masters  were  asked 
to  appoint  District  Chairmen  of  this  Committee.  Of  these, 
three  D.D.G.M's.  completely  ignored  our  requests,  and  two 
others  wrote,  promising  help  but  gave  none.  Three  of  the 
District  Deputies  assumed  the  duties  of  Blood  Donor  Chairman 
themselves.  One  failed  to  report,  but  the  other  two,  R.W. 
Bro.  Fife  of  Grey  District,  and  R.W.  Bro.  Russell  of  Sarnia 
District,  in  addition  to  the  regular  arduous  duties  of  their 
office,  made  an  excellent  contribution  to  this  Committee. 

Reports  were  received  from  20  districts,  comprising  280 
Lodges,  with  a  membership  of  approximately  63,000  Masons. 
Of  these  4,300  are  listed  as  donors,  or  one  out  of  every  15 
Masons.  Last  year  there  were  3,000  donors  among  18,000 
Masons  in  81  Lodges.  Although  the  number  of  donors  is 
higher,  the  ratio  is  lower;  however  the  response  of  a  larger 
number  of  Lodges  is  encouraging. 

May  I  quote  from  the  data  reported  by  the  District 
Chairmen: 

Terrace  Bay  Lodge,  in  Algoma  District  has  58  local  mem- 
bers.     32  of   these  attended  the   Red    Cross    Clime. 

The  larges  number  of  donors  of  any  district  "482"  was 
supplied  by  Niagara  "A".  This  constitutes  one  donor  in  every 
7  members.  Muskoka  and  Western  each  had  one  in  every  8 
members;  St.  Lawrence  had  one  in  9;  and  Temiskaming  had 
1  donor  in  each  11  members. 

Mr.  Newham  of  the  Red  Cross  Sen-ice  wrote  that  he  was 
having  difficulty  organizing  the  Kingston  area.  I  told  him 
that  Bro.  Leonard  Ede  was  the  Chairman  for  Frontenac 
District,  and  later  reports  indicate  that  they  were  able  to  be 
of  assistance  to  each  other. 

On  January  27,  a  Masonic  Red  Cross  Clinic  was  held  in 
Barrie,  which  was  a  big  success,  and  W.  Bro.  J.  M.  Heslip 
of  Georgian  District,  is  to  be  commended  for  his  efforts. 

W.  Bro.  H.  A.  Fisher  of  Muskoka  District  writes  as  fol- 
lows:—  "While  these  fibres  are  not  in  the  slightest  degree 
impressive,  and  are  rather  disappointing,  yet  in  the  case  of 
some  of  the  Lodges  it  represents  a  beginning.  And  with  this 
beginning  which  represents  an  awakening  to  the  needs  for 
blood  we  may  hope  that  the  Masons  of  this  District  will  be- 
come more  and  more  aware  of  the  call  of  this  great  Charity 
and  will  respond  in  greater  numbers  to  the  high  demands  of 
this,  their  dedication." 


216     GRAND    LODGE   OF   CANADA   ANNUAL  COMMUNICATION 

Wor.  Bro.  C.  R.  Buss  of  Niagara  "A"  had  this  comment: — 
"This  is  not  a  good  report  for  such  a  large  jurisdiction,  but, 
in  spite  of  continued  publicity  and  prodding,  Masons  still  do 
not  seem  to  realize  the  importance  of  this  work.  I  hope 
future  years  will  show  marked  improvement". 

Mr  G  R.  Cameron,  Chairman  of  the  Belleville  Branch  of 
the  Red  Cross  Blood  Donor  Service,  was  having  difficulty 
filling  his  quota.  I  put  him  in  touch  with  W.  Bro.  Jas  Pow, 
of  Prince  Edward  District,  and  I  understand  a  Masonic  Clinic 
was  to  be  held.    I  do  not  have  a  final  report  in  this  event. 

On  May  26,  a  Masonic  Blood  Clinic  was  held  in  Brockville, 
and  plans'  are  beiner  made  to  hold  further  clinics  at  regular 
intervals.  Salem  Lodge  supplied  107  donors  out  of  241 
resident  members,  and  Harmony  Lodge  supplied  22  out  of 
32  members. 

The  District  Deputy  Grand  Masters  have  been  most 
helpful  by  bringing  the  idea  of  giving  blood  to  the  attention 
of  the  brethren  during  their  addresses  to  the  Lodges.  The 
District  Chairmen  and  the  Lodge  Chairmen  have  been  of 
invaluable  aid  in  assembling  the  data  used  in  this  report, 
and  I  am  deeply  grateful  to  all  who  have  given  assistance  to 
this  Committee.  Let  us  hope  that  next  year's  committee  may 
meeet  with  greater  success.  Blood  is  needed  and  is  being 
used  in  ever  increasing  quantities  in  this  age  of  Modern 
Medicine.  Let  us  never  forget  that: — "The  pint  you  give 
to-day  may  save  the  life  of  one  of  your  loved  ones  to-morrow." 

Respectfully  and  fraternally  submitted, 

FRANK  SHANNON, 

Chairman. 


REPORT  OF  THE  LIBRARY  COMMITTEE 

This  report  was  presented  by  V.W.  Bro.  B.  S. 
Edmondson,  Chairman,  and  on  motion  of  the  Deputy 
Grand  Master,  seconded  by  V.W.  Bro.  Edmondson, 
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  Worshipful1  Sir,  and  Brethren: 

Over  the  years,  well-known  thinkers  and  scholars  have 
driven  us  their  ideas  as  to  the  mental  riches  of  books,  libraries, 


TORONTO,    ONTARIO,    1960  217 

self -education  and  learning.  Such  expressions  may  supply  us 
witihi  a  guage  to  measure  our  own  reading  and  our  use  of  the 
opportunities  which  are  offered  to  us  in  these  present  busy 
days.  Your  Committee  believes  that  our  library  has,  in  this 
past  year,  continued  to  offer  to  the  brethren  the  means  and 
the  opportunity  for  advancement  in  Masonic  knowledge. 
Samuel  Taylor  Coleridge,  one  of  the  finest  English  minds 
of  a  hundred  and  fifty  years  ago,  gives  us  a  good  lead 
wthen  he  relates, 

"It  is  saying  less  than  the  truth  that  an  excellent  book 
is  like  a  well-chosen  and  well-tended  fruit  tree.  Its  fruits 
are  not  of  one  year  only.  With  the  due  and  natural  intervals, 
we  may  return  to  it  year  after  year,  and  it  will  supply  the 
same  nourishment  and  the  same  gratification,  if  only  we 
ourselves  return  to  it  with  the  same  healthful  appetite." 

Perhaps  this-  simile  may  also  apply  to  the  hearing  and 
thought-provoking  phrases  of  our  oft-repeated  ritual. 

Now,  your  Committee  would  like  to  report  on  its  several 
activities  over  the  past  year.  There  has  been  a  marked 
interest  in  and  demand  for,  all  of  our  best  books.  Our 
Librarian  has  had  many  calls  from  members  of  the  Education 
Committees  in  Lodges,  for  books  which  would  give  material 
for  talks,  not  only  on  general,  but  also  on  specific  subjects. 
On  many  occasions'  it  has  not  been  possible  to  supply  the  most 
suitable  book  for  the  simple  reason  that  it  was  already  out 
on  loan  to  another  borrower.  It  also  might  be  said  that  not 
a  few  enquiries  have  been  made  dealing  with  'the  methods  and 
interpretation  of  the  ritual.  Here  it  must  be  said  that,  as  a 
rule,  English  writers'  are  loath  to  put  their  ideas  on  these 
subjects  into  writing.  After  all,  Masonic  books  get  into 
circulation  among  the  general  public,  and  a  too-free  descrip- 
tion of  the  methods  and  meaning  of  our  ceremonies  violates 
one  of  our  fundamental  principles — namely,  secrecy. 

While  the  Committee  has  been  most  anxious  to  meet  the 
requests  of  our  borrowers,  it  regrets  that  its  abilities  to 
satisfy  them  have  been  limited  owing  to  unusual  demands. 
These  demands,  we  feel  soire,  are  due  in  the  first  place 
to  the  particular  emphasis  that  has  been  placed  on  Masonic 
Education  by  our  Immediate  Past  Grand  Master  and  bis 
enthusiastic  corps  of  District  Deputy  Grand  Masters.  In 
their  travels  in  and  among  the  Lodges,  this  effort  has  been 
stressed,  tflie  need  for  instructive  talks'  has  been  pointed  out, 
and  not  only  well-versed  Past  Masters,  but  young  first-year 
members  have  been  placed  on  these  Lodge  Committees. 
Perhaps  the  Committee  should  purchase  more  copies,  than  in 
the  past,  of  particularly  good  books. 

And  speaking  of  more  books,  it  can  truthfully  be  said 
that  only  a  very,  very  few  new  Craft  books  appear  each  year. 


218     GRAND    LODGE   OF    CANADA    ANNUAL    COMMUNICATION 

The  real  reason  is  that  there  are  very,  very  few  competent 
writers  for  Masonic  publications.  It  may  be  argued  that  if 
some  particular  incentive  were  offered,  that  this  might 
encourage  embryo  writers.  Would  our  Grand  Lodge  like  to 
encourage  or  further  such  interest  by  offering  some  suitable 
recognition  to  those  of  our  own  membership  who  might  take 
this  suggestion  seriously? 

As  in  previous  years,  a  number  of  the  brethren  have 
made  donations  of  books  to  add  to  our  collection.  Some  of 
these  are  as  follow®. 

Bro.  S.  Davy  of  Stevenson  Lodge,  No.  218. 

1    Set   (7  Vols.)   History  of   Free  Masonry — by  Mackey 

and    Singleton. 
1  Set  (5  Vols.)  Library  of  Free  Masonry — by  Gould  and 

Hughan. 
Free  Masonry  in  Quebec — Graham. 
Scarlet  Book  of  Free  Masonry — Redding. 

Wor.  Bro.  M.  J.  McHenry  of  Delta  Lodge,  No.  634.

V.W.  Bro.  Frank  Elliott  of  Fairbank  Lodge,  No.  592. 

1  Set   (7  Vols.)   History  of  Free  Masonry — by  Mackey 
and  Singleton. 

R.W.  Bro.  John  R.  Rumball  of  Ashlar  Lodge,  No.  247. 

Encyclopaedia     of     Free     Masonry     —     Mackey     and 
McClenachan. 

The  Estate  of  our  late  M.W.  Bro.  C.  S.  Hamilton. 

22  volumes1  of  valuable  Masonic  books. 

To  all  of  the  above  we  are  particularly  grateful. 

And  now  as  to  Library  space.  For  the  past  ten  years 
our  work  in  the  Library  has  been  hampered  by  inadequate 
working  facilities.  To  remedy  this  situation,  the  Librarian 
has  submitted  a  plan  both  to  the  Masonic  Temple  Corporation, 
and  to  the  Library  Committee.  An  adjoining  room  can  be 
acquired  to  provide  the  needed  space  and  the  Corporation 
has  agreed  to  bear  about  a  half  of  the  necessary  cost.  Your 
Committee  recommends  that  this  scheme  be  proceeded'  with. 
It  is  estimated  that  our  share  of  the  renovation  of  the  sug- 
gested room,  together  with  adequate  shelving,  etc.,  etc.,  will 
entail  an  expenditure  of  something  less  than  Four  Hundred 


TORONTO,    ONTARIO,     I960  219 

Dollars.  It  is  our  unanimous  opinion  that  this  proposal  is 
■well  justified  and  it  will  more  than  repay  the  outlay  in 
aiding-  to  increase  and  improve  the  continuing-  and  increasing 
work  of  the  Library. 

We  are  always  glad  to  entertain  in  our  Library,  Masonic 
visitors  from  other  countries.  Every  year,  we  have  them 
from  jurisdictions  in  the  country  to  our  South,  and  from 
those  of  far-off  Australia.  We  feel  that,  in  doing  so,  we 
are  aiding  the  cause  of  Freemasonry  universal.  It  should 
also  be  mentioned  that  the  Library  was  used  in  May  of  this 
year  for  the  annual  meeting  of  the  Canadian  Society  of 
Masonic  Research.  Members  were  there  from  Halifax  to 
Winnipeg. 

Such  is  our  Report,  Most  Worshipful  Sir.  We  have 
been  pleased  to  act  as  your  representatives  on  this  import- 
ant committee;  we  feel  that  we  have  been  able  to  do  some- 
thing of  a  worthwhile  job  for  our  Grand  Lodge.  Further, 
we  would  recommend  the  continuance  of  a  Library  Com- 
mittee as  we  feel  sure  that  it  has  a  vital  function  for  our 
Craft  here  in  Ontario.  In  closing  may  we  quote  a  few  words 
which  Ralph  Waldo  Emerson,  "the  sage  of  Concord",  had  to 
say  about  a  Library: 

"Consider  what  you  have  in  the  smallest  chosen  library: 
a  company  of  the  wisest  and  wittiest  men  have  set  in  best 
order  the  results  of  their  learning  and  wisdom.  These  men 
were  usually  hid  and  inaccessible,  solitary,  impatient  of 
interruption,  forced  by  etiquette;  but  the  thoughts  that  they 
did  not  uncover  to  their  bosom  friends  are  here  written  out 
in  ifcransparent  words  to  us,  strangers  of  another  age." 

All  of  which  is  gratefully  submitted  by  your  Committee, 
of  which  the  undersigned  has  had  the  privilege  of  being 
Chairman. 

BYRON  S.  EDMONDSON, 

Chairman. 


GRAND  CHAPLAIN'S  REPORT 

This  report  was  presented  by  R.W.  Bro.  M.  G. 
B.  Williams,  Grand  Chaplain,  and  on  motion  of  the 
Deputy  Grand  Master,  seconded  by  R.W.  Bro. 
Williams,  it  was  received  and  adopted. 

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


220      GRAND    LODGE   OF   CANADA    ANNUAL   COMMUNICATION 

Most  Worshipful  Sir  and  Brethren: 

To  have  served  Masonry  as  Grand  Chaplain  in  this  Grand 
Jurisdiction  has  been  a  wonderful  privilege.  I  am  most 
grateful  to  have  had  the  opportunity.  It  has  been  an  ex- 
perience I  shall  always  cherish  and  remember  with  pleasure. 
The  cordial  and  courteous  reception  and  the  many  acts  of 
kindness  accorded  me  at  all  times  are  sincerely  and  grate- 
fully acknowledged.  I  trust  that  I  have  to  some  degree 
upheld  the  standards  and  traditions  of  Grand  Lodge. 

I  was  fortunate  to  have  had  the  support  of  V.  Wor.  Bro. 
Rev.  R.  Millar  and  V.  Wor.  Bro.  Rev.  G.  A.  Shields,  the  As- 
sistant Grand  Chaplains,  who  very  kindly  acted  when  it  was 
not  possible  for  me  to  attend  the  Especial  Communications 
of  Grand  Lodge.     I  thank  them  for  their  assistance. 

I  wish  to  express  my  appreciation  to  the  District  Deputy 
Grand  Masters  who,  where  it  was  possible,  appointed  an 
ordained  Clergyman  as  District  Chaplain.  This  is  in  keeping 
with  the  wishes  of  Grand  Lodge.  Where  a  layman  received 
the  appointment  I  am  confident  that  conscientious  and  devot- 
ed service  was  given.  On  behalf  of  Grand  Lodge  I  thank 
them  for  their  inspiration  and  leadership. 

Among  the  many  pleasant  experiences  I  was  able  to  enjoy 
during  the  course  of  the  year  were  included,  a  service  of 
Institution,  several  ceremonies  of  Dedication  of  New  Temples 
and  Lodge  rooms,  and  Constituting  and  Consecrating  of  New 
Lodges.  I  also  assisted  with  a  number  of  District  Divine 
Services,  preached  at  a  Centennial  Celebration  and  was 
present  at  numerous  Installations.  I  regret  that  there  were 
times  when  I  was  unable  to  accept  certain  invitations  due 
to  the  call  of  Parish  duty  but  I  know  the  Brethren  will 
understand. 

One  cannot  fail  to  be  impressed  with  the  physical  growth 
of  the  Craft  as  seen  in  the  formation  of  new  Lodges  and  the 
erection  of  new  Temples.  These  are  outward  and  visible 
signs  of  the  abiding  faith  of  our  members  in  the  Great 
Architect  of  the  Universe,  who  is  the  same  yesterday,  today 
and  forever.  As  Masons  we  are  building,  both  physically  and 
spiritually,  not  only  for  today  but  for  the  future  'as  well. 

To  the  Grand  Secretary  and  his  staff  I  express  my  deep 
sense  of  gratitude.  Their  help  meant  a  great  deal  to  me  in 
the  performance  of  my  duties.  Their  kindness  is  greatly 
appreciated. 

To  my  successor  I  offer  my  congratulations  and  best 
wishes.  May  his  term  of  office  be  one  of  continual  joy  and 
happiness.  If  I  can  be  of  assistance  to  him  at  any  time  I 
hope  he  will  feel  free  to  call  on  me. 

Respectfully  and  fraternally  submitted, 

M.  G.  B.  WILLIAMS, 

Grand  Chaplain.

This  report  was  presented  by  M.W.  Bro.  J.  A.

222      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: 

It  had  been  confidently  expected  that  my  report  this 
year  on  the  New  Memorial  Building  at  Hamilton  would  be  the 
final  one,  and  that  I  would  be  able  to  tell  you  that  the  build- 
ing was  completed  and  occupied  by  Grand  Lodge. 

Due  to  the  prolonged  strike  in  the  building  trades  late 
last  Fall,  and  continuing  into  February  of  this  year,  no 
progress  was  made  during  that  time.  It  would  appear  now, 
however,  that  the  new  quarters  for  Grand  Lodge  will  be 
ready  for  occupancy  in  October. 

The  Memorial  Building  is  of  a  two  storey  type  with  a 
large  basement  containing  vault  space  so  badly  needed  by 
Grand  Lodge.  The  upper  floor  will  be  for  rent,  approximately 
4,000  square  feet,  until  all  or  part  of  it  may  be  needed  by 


You  will,  I  am  sure,  feel  justifiably  proud  of  our  new 
Headquarters.  The  outward  appearance,  the  available 
facilities  inside  and  design  while  far  from  being  ornate  or 
lavish,  has  a  great  dignity  about  the  whole  structure.  You 
should  plan  to  see  it  soon  for  yourself. 

Our  Building  Committee  must  take  full  credit  for  this 
undertaking;  the  personnel  being  R.  C.  Berkinshaw,  Q.C., 
Chairman,  Walter  H.  Gibson,  and  E.  G.  Dixon,  Q.C.  and  our 
architect,  Geo.  T.  Evans,  who  has  literally  lived  with  the 
building  since  its  inception. 

On  Julv  21st,  the  members  of  Masonic  Holdings  returned 
the  same  Board  of  Directors  for  1960-1961,  namely  J.  N. 
Allan,  R.  C.  Berkinshaw,  Q.C,  E.  G.  Dixon,  Q.  C,  W.  J. 
Dunlop,  Geo.  T.  Evans,  W.  H.  Gibson,  Joseph  A.  Hearn,  H. 
L.  Martyn,  T.  H.  Simpson,  Q.C.  To  these  are  added  by 
virtue  of  their  Offices:  The  Grand  Master  and  the  Deputy 
Grand  Master. 

At  a  subsequent  meeting  of  the  Directors,  the  following 
Officers  were  elected: 

President  —  Joseph  A.  Hearn 
Vice-President  —  R.  C.  Berkinshaw,  Q.C. 
Vice-President  —  H.  L.  Martyn 
Secretary-Treasurer  —    E.   G.   Dixon,    Q.C. 

The  Building  Committee  remains  as  heretofor:  Chairman 
R.C.   Berkinshaw,  Q.C,   Walter  H.  Gibson,  Ewart  G.  Dixon, 


TORONTO,    ONTARIO.    1960  223

President.

TORONTO,    ONTARIO,    1960  225 

REPORT  OF  THE  COMMITTEE  ON 
GRIEVANCES  AND  APPEALS 

i 

This  report  was  presented  by  R.W.  Bro.  J.  R. 

Rumball,  Chairman,  and  on  motion  of  the  Deputy 

Grand  Master,  seconded  by  R.W.  Bro.  Rumball,  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  Committee  on  Grievances  and  Appeals  submits  its 
report  in  the  following  parts. 

1.  MANITOBA  LODGE,  No.  236,  versus  BRO.  GORDON 
AUSTIN  WIGGINS. 

Reference  to  the  Proceedings  of  this  Grand  Lodge  for 
the  year  1959  (page  201)  shows  that  Bro.  Gordon  Austin 
Wiggins  of  Manitoba  Lodge,  No.  236  was  convicted,  after 
a  plea  of  guilty,  of  the  following  charges  under  the  Criminal 
Code  of  Canada:  Armed  Robbery,  six  charges  of  possession 
of  stolen  goods,  one  charge  of  breaking,  entering  and  theft, 
and  four  charges  of  having  unregistered  firearms. 

The  sentence,  imposed  by  the  Magistrate  of  the  Town 
of  Bradford,  was  not  considered  adequate  by  the  Attorney 
General  and  an  appeal  was  taken  to  the  Court  of  Appeal 
for  Ontario  which  resulted  in  increased  sentences,  one  of 
which  was  imprisonment  for  seven  years  on  the  armed 
robbery  charge.  There  were  other  consecutive  and  con- 
current punishments  as  well. 

Following  the  conviction  and  the  sentences  as  above 
mentioned  a  charge  of  unmasonic  conduct,  under  Rule  1  (g), 
(h)  and  (p),  was  laid  in  and  accepted  by  the  Lodge  and  Bro. 
Gordon  Austin  Wiggins  was  forthwith  suspended  by  the 
Lodge.  The  report  of  this  Committee,  approved  by  Grand 
Lodge  a  year  ago,  after  commenting  on  the  procedure 
adopted  by  the  Lodge  but  emphasizing  the  obvious  guilt  of 
the  accused,  confirmed  the  finding  of  guilt  and  recommended 
that  Bro.  Gordon  Austin  Wiggins  be  notified  to  appear  at 
this  Annual  Communication  of  Grand  Lodge  to  show  cause 
why  he  should  not  be  expelled.  He  has  been  so  notified  but 
has  not  appeared,  nor  has  he  made  any  representations. 
Your  Committee,  therefore,  recommends  that  Bro.  Gordon 
Austin  Wiggins  be  expelled. 


226     GRAND   LODGE   OF    CANADA   ANNUAL    COMMUNICATION 

2.  SIMCOE  LODGE,  No.  644  versus  BRO.  IVAN  B. 
GROSE. 

Again  to  refresh  our  memory  (and  for  the  benefit  of 
those  who  were  not  present  at  the  meeting  of  this  Committee 
last  year)  reference  may  be  made  to  the  Proceedings  of  this 
Grand  Lodge  for  the  year  1959  (page  202).  It  was  there 
stated  that  Bro.  Ivan  B.  Grose,  a  member  of  Simcoe  Lodge, 
No.  644,  had  pleaded  guilty  to  a  charge  of  armed  robbery 
and  had  been  sentenced  in  the  Magistrate's  Court  of  the 
City  of  Hamilton  to  imprisonment  in  the  Ontario  Reform- 
atory for  15  months  definite  and  15  months  indefinite. 

Again,  as  in  the  preceding  case  the  Attorney  General 
for  Ontario  entered  an  appeal  against  the  sentence  which 
was  increased  by  the  Court  of  Appeal  of  Ontario  to  three 
years  imprisonment  in  the  Kingston  Penitentiary.  Sub- 
sequently a  charge  of  unmasonic  conduct  under  Rule  1  (p) 
was  laid  and  accepted  by  the  Lodge. 

The  guilt  of  Bro.  Ivan  B.  Grose  having  been  established, 
both  by  his  admission  of  guilt  and  by  conviction  at  the  trial, 
which  was  confirmed  by  the  decision  on  appeal,  this  Com- 
mittee, after  commenting  on  the  obvious  guilt  of  the  ac- 
cused, recommended  that  Bro.  Grose  be  notified  to  appear 
at  this  Annual  Communication  of  Grand  Lodge  to  show  cause 
why  he  should  not  be  expelled.     He  has  been  so  notified. 

Information  has  been  received  to  the  effect  that  Bro. 
Grose  was  paroled  after  18  months  in  gaol  and  further  that 
his  parole  expired  on  June  28,  1960,  and  that  he  is  now  in 
hospital  after  as  a  result  of  an  operation.  Representations, 
however,  have  been  made  on  his  behalf  by  a  member  of  his 
Lodge  and  by  a  brother  in  another  Lodge  requesting  favour- 
able consideration  and  a  postponement  of  the  decree  for 
expulsion. 

Your  Committee,  having  carefully  considered  all  the 
circumstances  and  to  give  effect,  in  part,  to  the  represent- 
ations made  on  behalf  of  the  accused,  recommends  that  no 
action  be  taken  regarding  expulsion  until  the  next  Annual 
Communication  of  Grand  Lodge  and  that  in  the  meantime 
the  suspension  be  continued. 

3.  CORONATION  LODGE,  No.  466,  versus  BRO.  ALLAN 
RITCHIE. 

This  case  came  before  Grand  Lodge  on  the  report  of 
this  Committee  a  year  ago  (Proceedings  of  1959,  page  203). 
A  brief  review  of  the  report  at  that  time  shows  that  Bro. 
Allan  Ritchie,  a  member  of  Coronation  Lodge,  No.  466,  was 
sentenced  in  July,  1957,  after  a  plea  of  guilty  to  a  charge  of 
theft,  to  a  term  of  five  months  in  goal. 


TORONTO,    ONTARIO,    1960  227 

Subsequently,  after  considerable  delay,  in  December, 
1958,  a  charge  of  unmasonic  conduct  was  presented  to  his 
Lodge  which  charge  was  accepted  and  a  request  for  trial 
by  a  commission  was  made  by  the  Lodge  to  the  Grand  Master. 
The  report  of  this  Committee  a  year  ago  commented  on  the 
fact  that  the  guilt  of  Bro.  Ritchie  had  been  established 
beyond  question,  both  by  his  own  admission  of  guilt  and 
by  the  conviction  of  a  court  of  competent  jurisdiction.  The 
report,  adopted  by  Grand  Lodge,  also  recommended  that 
Bro.  Allan  Ritchie  be  notified  to  appear  before  this  Annual 
Communication  of  Grand  Lodge  to  show  cause  why  he 
should  not  be  expelled.  He  has  been  so  notified  but  has 
not  appeared.  Your  Committee,  therefore,  recommends  that 
Bro.  Allan  Ritchie  be  expelled. 

4.  CORINTHIAN  LODGE,  No.  669,  versus  BRO. 
WALTER  EARL  LASHWAY. 

Bro.  Walter  Earl  Lashway,  initiated  in  Eureka  Lodge, 
No.  283,  Belleville  in  1952,  and  an  affiliated  member  of 
Corinthian  Lodge,  No.  669,  Cornwall,  in  1957,  was  accused 
of  an  offence  under  Part  XVI  of  the  Criminal  Code  in  that 
he  did,  at  the  City  of  Cornwall  in  the  County  of  Stormont 
between  October,  1957,  and  July,  1958,  fraudulently  and  with- 
out colour  of  right  convert  to  his  own  use  the  sum  of 
$500.00,  and  did  thereby  steal  the  same  contrary  to  the 
Criminal  Code  of  Canada. 

At  the  trial  in  the  County  Court  Judges'  Criminal  Court 
of  the  United  Counties  of  Stormont,  Dundas  and  Glengarry, 
on  December  1st,  1958,  the  accused  pleaded  guilty  to  the 
said  charge  and  was  released  upon  suspended  sentence  upon 
entering  into  recognizance  without  sureties,  (a)  to  keep  the 
peace;  (b)  to  be  of  good  behaviour  for  a  period  of  two  years; 
(c)  to  appear  and  receive  sentence  when  called  upon  to  do 
so  upon  breach  of  his  recognizance;  (d)  to  make  restitution 
of  $500.00  within  two  years  from  December  1st,  1958.  Sub- 
sequently on  April  9,  1959  a  charge  of  unmasonic  conduct 
under  Rule  1  (n)  and  (p)  was  laid  in  Corinthian  Lodge  and 
was  accepted  by  the  Lodge.  A  Committee  was  appointed 
by  the  Lodge  under  Rule  20  to  investigate  the  evidence  and 
report  its  findings  to  the  Lodge. 

The  Committee,  after  notice  to  the  accused,  met  on 
several  occasions  and  came  to  the  conclusion  that  the  evi- 
dence substantiated  fully  the  charge  of  unmasonic  conduct 
laid  against  Bro.  Lashway  under  Rules  1,  (n)  and  (p). 

In  addition  to  the  above  mentioned  conviction  against 
Bro.  Lashway  on  December  1st,  1958,  details  were  placed 
before  the  Committee  of  prior  convictions  for  various  of- 
fences on  record  from  October,  1940,  to  April,  1958. 


228     GRAND    LODGE   OF   CANADA   ANNUAL  COMMUNICATION 

The  report  of  the  Lodge  Committee  was  dealt  with  by 
the  Lodge  at  its  meeting  on  September  10th,  1959,  and  the 
decision  of  the  Lodge  was  that  the  accused  was  guilty  of 
the  charge  as  laid  and  a  recommendation  was  made  that 
Bro.  Lashway  be  expelled  from  the  Craft. 

While  the  trial  of  the  accused  appears  to  have  been 
conducted  to  a  greater  degree  by  the  Committee  under  Rules 
20-30  than  in  the  Lodge,  it  is  clear  that  the  Lodge  accepted 
the  report  of  the  Lodge  Committee  as  evidence  of  guilt  and 
it  is  also  clear  that  such  guilt  had  been  established  beyond 
question  by  the  plea  of  guilt  made  in,  and  by  the  conviction 
of  a  court  of  competent  jurisdiction. 

After  consideration,  this  Committee  feels  that  the 
finding-  of  guilt  made  by  the  Lodge  should  be  confirmed, 
and,  in  view  of  the  suggestion  made  by  the  Lodge,  recom- 
mends that  Bro.  Walter  Earl  Lashway  be  notified  to  appear 
at  the  next  Annual  Communication  of  this  Grand  Lodge  to 
show  cause  why  he  should  not  be  expelled  and  that,  in  the 
meantime,  his  suspension  be  continued. 

5.  SIMCOE  LODGE,  No.  644,  versus  BRO.  ROBERT 
HUNT. 

Bro.  Robert  Hunt,  a  member  of  Simcoe  Lodge,  No.  644, 
was.  on  October  28th,  1959,  accused  in  a  Magistrate's  Court 
in  the  City  of  Toronto,  of  indecent  assault  contrary  to  the 
provisions  of  the  Criminal  Code.  He  was  convicted  under 
Part  XVI  or  XXIV  of  the  Criminal  Code  and,  after  a  remand, 
was  sentenced  to  imprisonment  for  a  term  of  six  (6)  months 
in  the  common  gaol  in  Toronto.  Psychiatric  treatment  was 
suggested  by  the  Magistrate. 

Subsequently,  a  charge  of  unmasonic  conduct  was  laid 
in  the  Lodge  under  Rule  l(s)  of  Grand  Lodge.  This  charge 
was  accepted  in  the  Lodge  at  a  meeting  held  on  February 
11th,  1960,  after  which  a  request  was  made  that  a  Commission 
be  appointed  by  the  Grand  Master  to  deal  with  the  charge. 
Subsequently  a  Commission,  appointed  by  the  Grand  Master, 
met  on  May  19th,  1960.  The  accused  was  not  present.  How- 
ever, four  members  of  the  Lodge,  including  the  Worshipful 
Master,  attended  the  hearing.  The  Commission  was  advised 
that  the  accused  had  pleaded  guilty  to  the  charge  before  the 
Magistrate.  Representations  were  made  on  behalf  of  the 
accused  by  members  of  the  Lodge  present,  based  on  previous 
acquaintances  over  a  period  of  many  years,  and  on  the 
reputation  of  the  accused  as  a  teacher  and  leader  in  scouting. 
Comment  was  made  on  the  fact  that  the  accused  had  been 
a  victim  in  1957,  of  a  serious  automobile  accident  and  that 
this  might  have  had  some  bearing  on  his  course  of  conduct. 


TORONTO,    ONTARIO,    1960  229 

The  Commission  found  that  the  accused  was  guilty  of 
the  charge  and  recommended  his  indefinite  suspension  from 
the  Craft. 

Your  Committee  has  reviewed  the  correspondence  and  has 
considered  carefully  the  report  of  the  Commission,  the 
sentence  imposed,  the  finding  of  guilt,  and  the  representations 
by  the  members  of  the  Lodge  regarding  the  reputation  of 
the  accused  in  the  Lodge  and  among  his  associates.  However, 
your  Committee  feels  that  the  sentence  of  indefinite  sus- 
pension recommended  by  the  Commission  is  not  adequate 
and  recommends  that  Bro.  Hunt  be  notified  to  appear  at 
the  next  Annual  Communication  of  this  Grand  Lodge  to 
show  cause  why  he  should  not  be  expelled  and  that  in  the 
meantime  his  suspension  should  be  continued. 

Respectfully  and  fratenally  submitted, 

J.  R.  RUMBALL, 

Chairman.

230      GRAND    LODGE   OF    CANADA    ANNUAL    COMMUNICATION 

In  addition,  an  amount  of  $305.00  was  also  expended 
from  the  Emergency  Fund  to  take  care  of  cases  requiring 
immediate  attention. 

A  meeting  of  the  Committee  was  held  in  Toronto  on 
June  10th  and  11th,  1960,  to  receive  the  report  of  the  Super- 
visor of  Benevolence  and  to  review  the  271  cases  for  which 
applications  were  received  for  assistance.  The  attendance 
of  the  Committee  was  excellent,  and  with  the  information 
made  available  through  the  Supervisor,  we  were  able  to 
consider  these  applications  with  dispatch,  at  the  same  time, 
assuring  the  members  of  the  Craft  that  each  and  every 
application  would  receive  due  consideration. 

The  reduction  in  the  amount  of  our  grants  last  year 
was  largely  due  to  the  Governmental  assistance  which  was 
received  through  low  rental  housing  and  the  other  funds 
which  are  available  through  Old  Age  Security,  Old  Age 
Assistance,  Mothers'  and  Dependents  Allowances,  Family 
Allowances  and  the  Hospitalization  Plan  of  the  Province  of 
Ontario.  In  addition,  we  note  with  a  great  deal  of  pleasure 
the  provision  for  Homes  for  our  senior  citizens,  which  takes 
care  of  the  need  of  those  people  who  are  not  in  a  position 
to  supply  or  secure  homes  for  themselves.  Our  Supervisor 
reports  that  he  has  been  in  several  of  these  Homes  and  finds 
them  to  be  well  managed  and  comfortable  for  those  who  take 
advantage  of  these  splendid  residences.  Our  Supervisor 
reports  that  he  has  covered  many  of  the  areas  and  has  made 
calls  on  the  recipients  of  Grand  Lodge  Benevolence.  He  has 
received  great  assistance  from  the  Toronto  Masonic  Service 
Guild  and  other  Boards  throughout  the  Province.  In  addition 
the  members  of  our  Committee  have  helped  a  great  deal  in 
making  calls  where  necessary,  and  I  would  like  to  express 
our  thanks  to  all  who  have  contributed  in  this  particular  way. 
We  have,  also,  received  assistance  from  other  jurisdictions 
on  our  cases  which  are  located  outside  of  the  Province^  of 
Ontario,  which  has  helped  us  a  great  deal  in  determining 
just  what  assistance  should  be  given.  I  would  also  like  to 
express  our  sincere  thanks  to  them. 

Unfortunately,  there  are  a  number  of  Lodges  who  did  not 
submit  their  applications  until  after  the  required  date  of 
June  1st,  and  the  Supervisor  has  not  had  an  opportunity  to 
complete  the  necessary  investigations  prior  to  the  meeting  of 
the  Committee.  However,  an  effort  will  be  made  to  do  so 
before  the  Annual  Communication  of  Grand  Lodge  and  these 
cases  will  be  dealt  with  at  the  meeting  of  the  Committee  to 
be  held  at  that  time.  We  also  note  that  many  of  the  ap- 
plications are  not  filled  out  completely  and  consequently,  a 
great  deal  of  correspondence  is  required  in  order  to  get 
sufficient  information  to  deal  with  them  properly. 

It  has  been  noted  with  pleasure  that  contributions  have 
been  received  from  other  sources  than  Grand  Lodge  funds 
and  we  wish  to  express  our  appreciation  for  these  donations 
which  will  be  used  to  advantage.

These  are  as  follows: 

Florence  B.  Staunton  Estate  $  370.77 

Bro.  Frank  B.  Wenger 10.00

Proceeds  from  the  Lawn  Bowling  Tournament 

of  the  Toronto  Districts  65.00 

In  connection  with  the  proposed  reduction  in  the  amount 
for  Benevolence  received  from  the  General  Funds  of  Grand 
Lodge,  I  am  happy  indeed  to  give  you  a  quotation  from  the 
report  of  the  Supervisor  of  Benevolence. 

"It  has  been  my  privilege  and  pleasure  to  call  on  quite 
a  number  of  our  dependents,  confined  in  these  Institutions 
throughout  the  Province,  and  in  every  case  they  are  happy 
and  well  cared  for.  I  have  recommended  to  others  that 
consideration  be  given  to  this  type  of  accommodation,  rather 
than  live  alone  and  endeavour  to  provide  for  themselves. 

"It  is  of  interest  to  note  that  during  the  past  eleven 
years,  the  average  amount  expended  from  the  General  Fund 
for  benevolent  purposes  has  been  $66,582.00  per  year.  Last 
year  we  expended  $59,700.00  from  the  General  Fund.  There 
has  been  a  gradual  decrease  each  year.  This  is  largely  due 
to  the  circumstances  mentioned  above. 

"Because  of  this  change,  it  is  felt  that  the  present 
provision  in  the  Constitution  of  .80  cents  per  capita  for 
Benevolent  purposes  is  more  than  is  required  to  meet  present 
needs  and  a  recommendation  to  reduce  the  per  capita  to  .60 
cents  is  being  considered.  On  our  present  membership,  this 
will  provide  an  amount  of  $71,774.00  in  the  General  Fund  in 
addition  to  the  funds  available  through  the  Memorial  Ftund 
for  benevolent  purposes." 

After  the  examination  of  the  applications  received,  your 
Committee  recommends  that  the  sum  of  $75,000.00  be  set 
aside  for  the  Benevolent  work  for  the  year  1960-1961. 

We  would  also  recommend  the  continuance  of  our  mem- 
bership in  the  Masonic  Relief  Association  of  the  United  States 
and  Canada. 

The  work  of  our  Committee  has  been  greatly  assisted  by 
Right  Worshipful  Bro.  E.  G.  Dixon,  Grand  Secretary,  and 
his  staff,  and  I  wish  to  express  our  sincere  appreciation  for 
the  assistance  so  kindly  given.  It  has  also  been  a  pleasure 
to  have  Right  Wor.  Bro.  George  J.  McQueen,  the  Supervisor 
of  Benevolence,  associated  with  the  work  of  our  Committee. 
His  full  co-operation  has  been  appreciated.  It  has  been  my 
pleasure,  as  Chairman,  to  have  worked  closely  with  him  these 


232      GRAND    LODGE   OF   CANADA    ANNUAL    COMMUNICATION 

past  several  years  and  I  have  always  found  his  assistance 
available  to  deal  promptly  with  the  immediate  needs  of  our 
dependents.  I  would  like  to  express  my  personal  appreciation 
to  him  for  the  fine  work  he  is  doing  on  our  behalf. 

Also,  to  the  members  of  the  Committee  may  I  say, 
personally,  how  much  I  have  appreciated  their  assistance  and 
attendance  at  the  meetings  which  are  necessary  to  deal  with 
matters  of  Benevolence. 

May  we  hope  that  the  work  which  has  been  done  by  our 
Committee  has  met  with  the  approval  of  the  Members  of 
Grand  Lodge.  We  greatly  appreciate  the  privilege  of  serving 
on  this  very  important  Committee  of  our  Grand  Lodge. 


Respectfully  submitted,

Chairman. 


REPORT  OF  THE  COMMITTEE  ON 
AUDIT  AND  FINANCE 

This  report  was  presented  by  R.W.  Bro.  R.  C. 
Berkinshaw,  Chairman,  who  explained  that  as  the 
Estimates  contained  in  this  report  were  based  on 
the  presumption  that  the  amendments  to  the  Con- 
stitution which  would  be  presented  by  M.W.  Bro.  J. 
A.  Hearn,  Grand  Treasurer,  would  be  adopted,  he 
would  ask  that  the  reception  and  consideration  of  his 
report  be  deferred.    The  Grand  Master  so  ordered. 

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: 

Having  reviewed  the  reports  of  the  Grand  Treasurer,  the 
Grand  Secretary  and  the  Auditor,  which  have  been  referred 
to  it  for  consideration  by  this  Annual  Communication  of 
Grand  Lodge,  the  standing  Committee  on  Audit  and  Finance 
finds  that  the  same  appear  to  fully  and  accurately  set  out 
all  pertinent  details  relative  to  the  financial  position  of  this 
Grand  Lodge  for  the  year  ended  31st  May,  1960.  They  con- 
tain full  information  as  to  receipts  and  disbursements  in 
respect  of  the  General  Fund,  the  Memorial  and  Semi-Centen- 
nial  Funds,  complete  details  of  all  transactions  and  changes 
in  the  Capital  Account  and  schedules  of  the  securities  in 
which  Grand  Lodge  funds  were  invested,  as  at  the  above 
mentioned   date. 


TORONTO,    ONTARIO,    1960  233 

The  Committee  wishes  to  make  the  following:  observations 
on  certain  subject  matters  covered  by  these  reports: 

The  schedule  of  investments  in  the  three  above  mentioned 
Grand  Lodge  accounts  have  been  carefully  reviewed  and  it 
would  appear  that  all  securities  in  which  Grand  Lodge  funds 
are  presently  invested  can  be  considered  in  the  category  of 
high  class  Trustee  investments — 'the  only  exception  being  the 
5%  Debentures  of  Masonic  Holdings  to  the  par  value  of 
$220,000  which  have  been  purchased  by  the  Grand  Treasurer 
under  the  authority  of  a  special  Resolution  passed  by  this 
Grand  Lodge  ait  its  Annual  Communication  in  1959.  (1959 
Proceedings  p.  208).  These  debentures  were  acquired  in 
accordance  with  an  approved  program  of  providing  the  neces- 
sary funds  for  acquisition  of  the  site  ,  and  for  the  construc- 
tion and  equipment  of  our  new  Grand  Lodge  offices  in  the 
City  of  Hamilton  ,which  will  be  completed  early  this  Fall. 

AH  Grand  Lodge  securities  are  held  by  the  Canada 
Permanent  Trust  Company  as  its  duly  appointed  custodian, 
but  it  should  be  noted  that  on  May  31,  1960,  General  Fund 
Investments  amounting  to  the  par  value  of  $458,500.00  were 
held  by  the  said  Trust  Company  for  the  account  of  the 
Canadian  Bank  of  Commerce,  Hamilton,  Ontario,  as  security 
for  the  estimated  loan  requirements  to  finance  the  new 
Grand  Lodge  offices. 

Receipts  for  initiation  fees,  dues,  commutations,  interest 
on  investments,  etc.,  amounted  to  $195,286.18.  This  figure 
is  within  a  few  dollars  of  our  forecast  a  year  ago.  On  the 
other  hand,  total  disbursements  of  $148,327.40  were  $21,303.00 
less  than  the  amount  provided  in  the  budget,  mainly  because 
expenditures  for  benevolent  grants  paid  out  of  the  General 
Fund  were  substantially  less  than  the  amount  provided  for 
such  purposes. 

Total  grants  for  benevolent  purposes  amounted  to 
$64,784.72  for  the  past  year,  or  approximately  $20,000.00  less 
than  estimated  requirements.  In  this  regard  your  Com- 
mittee considers  it  appropriate  to  again  point  out  that  there 
is  a  continuing  downward  trend  in  the  demands  on  Grand 
Lodge  funds  for  benevolence.  This  condition  is  due  mainly 
to  (a)  increased  Government  Old  Age  Pension  payments  and 
(b)  tlie  benefits  provided  under  the  Ontario  Hospital  Services 
Act,  although,  as  the  Grand  Treasurer  has  appropriately 
pointed  out  in  his  report,  no  cases  of  need  which  fall  within 
the  responsibility-  of  this  Grand  Lodge  have  been  neglected 
to  the  slightest  degree. 

Further,  a  special  note  should  be  made  of  the  Auditor's 
observation  that  the  resources  shown  in  the  General  Fund 
Investment  Account  and  Bank  balance  include  a  sum  of 
$72,214.60,  which  is  available  for  benevolent  purposes  only, 
in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  Section  245  (m)  of  the 
Constitution. 


234      GRAND    LODGE   OF  CANADA   ANNUAL   COMMUNICATION 

Under  these  conditions,  we  recommend  that  for  the 
current  year  payment  of  all  benevolent  grants  should  be 
made  out  of  the  General  Account  up  to  the  amount  of  the 
appropriation  for  such  purposes  indicated  in  the  budget 
and  that  the  Memorial  Fund  should  be  allowed  to  increase 
by  the  natural  means  of  periodically  investing:  and  reinvest- 
ing the  interest  received  on  the  capital  of  the  Fund  as  and 
when  occasion  may  require. 

The  time,  thought  and  careful  consideration  to  all  cases 
requiring  the  financial  assistance  of  this  Grand  Lodge  which 
are  given  by  the  Chairman,  the  Supervisor  of  Benevolence 
and  all  the  members  of  this  Gommittee  deserve  the  highest 
commendation)  of  our  membership. 

Your  Committee  recommends  approval  of  the  six  special 
donations,  totalling  $3,000.00,  as  reported  by  the  Grand 
Master,  (in  addition  to  the  grant  of  $1,000.00  to  the  Lanark 
Relief  Fund,  which  was  approved  last  year) ,  but  expresses  the 
opinion  that  though  these  six  causes  are  worthy  of  our 
financial  assistance,  they  should  not  be  led  to  assume  that 
Grand  Lodge  support  of  their  respective  needs  has  been 
placed  on  a  permanent  basis. 

Details  of  the  insurance  coverage  placed  by  Grand  Lodge 
and  currently  in  effect  have  been  checked  by  the  Auditor 
and  reviewed  by  the  members  of  this  Committee  and  they  are 
satisfied  that  all  necessary  precaution  is  taken  to  ensure 
that  Grand  Lodge  property,  wherever  it  may  be  situated,  is 
adequately  covered  against  loss  by  fire,  theft  or  other  means. 

By  instalments  over  the  past  three  years,  a  reserve  of 
$21,000.00  has  been  set  up,  with  the  approval  of  Grand 
Lodge  on  the  recommendation  of  this  Committee,  to  provide 
for  the  cost  of  furnishing  and  equipping:  our  new  Grand 
Lodge  premises  on  completion.  This  reserve  is  included  in 
the  resources  shown  in  the  General  Fund  Investment  Account 
and  will  be  available  for  such  purpose  during  the  current 
year. 

In  its  review  of  the  matters  covered  by  this  report,  this 
Committee  has  received  the  fullest  co-operation  and  assist- 
ance from  the  Grand  Secretary,  the  Grand  Treasurer  and  the 
Auditor  and  now  formally  recommends  to  Grand  Lodge  the 
adoption,  without  amendment,  of  the  reports  submitted  by 
the  above  mentioned  officers.  They  are  to  be  commended 
on  the  conscientious  and  faithful  performance  of  the  duties 
of  their  respective  offices.  Grand  Lodge  is,  indeed,  fortunate 
to  have  the  benefit  of  their  talents,  experience  and  devoted 
interest. 

In  presenting  fox  the  consideration  and  approval  of  the 
membership  the  following  Estimate  of  Income  and  Expendi- 
tures under  the  General   Fund  for  the  current   year,  your 


TORONTO,    ONTARIO,    1960  235 

Committee  has   anticipated  approval  of  the  amendments  to 

the  Constitution  proposed  in  the  Notice  of  Motion  duly  given

We  believe  that  with  the  anticipated  increased  income 
resulting  from  the  amendments  to  the  Constitution  referred 
to  above,  Grand  Lodge  will  be  able  to  meet  all  its  financial 
obligations  during  the  current  year,  but  it  will  be  noted 
that  the  total  Estimated  Expenditures  are  only  a  few  dollars 
less  than  the  total  Estimated  Income. 

However,  we  submit  this  estimate  with  the  reservation 
that  the  extraordinary  circumstances  which  will  prevail 
during  the  current  year,  marking  the  completion  of  and 
moving  into  new  Grand  Lodge  premises  under  entirely  new 
conditions  of  occupancy  may  considerably  offset  its  accuracy. 

All  of  which  is  respectfully  and  fraternally  submitted, 


On  behalf  of  the  Committee, 


R.  C.  BERKINSHAW, 

Chairman.

DISPOSAL  OF  NOTICES  OF  MOTION 

In  accordance  with  notice  duly  given,  M.W.  Bro. 
J.  A.  Hearn,  Grand  Treasurer,  presented  the  follow- 
ing1 amendments  to  the  Constiution,  explaining 
each  clause  as  it  was  severally  considered; 

(a)  That  Section  245  of  the  Constitution  be  amended 
by  deleting  the  words  "twelve  dollars"  in  line 
four  and  substituting  therefor  the  words 
"twenty  dollars";  and  by  adding  at  the  end  of 
the  section  the  words  "except  as  provided  in

(b)  That  Section  245,  subsection  (j)  of  the  Constit- 
ution, be  amended  by  deleting  the  words  "three

(d)  That  Section  245,  subsection  (m)  of  the  Con- 
stitution, be  deleted  and  the  following  subsection 
substituted  therefor :

Grand  Lodge,  including  honorary  and  charter 
members,  one  dollar  and  twenty  cents  per  an- 
num, of  which  sixty  cents  shall  be  used  for 
benevolent  purposes  only,  and  sixty  cents  shall 
be  paid  into  the  general  fund.  For  every  mem- 
ber whose  fees  shall  be  commuted  to  Grand 
Lodge  after  July  21,  1960,  the  lodge  shall  pay

23S      GRAND    LODGE    OF   CANADA   ANNUAL    COMMUNICATION

REPORT  ON  AUDIT  AND  FINANCE

REPORT  OF  THE  ADVISORY   COMMITTEE   ON 
LODGE   BUILDINGS 

This  report  was  presented  by  R.W.  Bro.  E.  G. 
Dixon  in  the  absence  through  illness  of  V.W.  Bro. 
George  T.  Evans.,  Chairman,  and  on  motion  of  the 
Deputy  Grand  Master,  seconded  by  R.W.  Bro.  Dixon, 
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: 

I  beg  to  present  the  third  annual  report  of  the  Advisory 
Committee  on  Lodge  Buildings. 

For  those  of  you  who,  perhaps,  are  not  familiar  with  the 
duties  of  this  Committee,  I  would  say  that  in  1958  the  Grand 
Master  directed  that  a  committee  be  set  up  to  formulate 
requirements  and  regulations  to  govern  the  erection  of  new 
Masonic  Temples  or  the  remodelling  of  existing  ones.  The 
Committee  can  give  advice  and  assistance  in  the  planning  of 
the  various  lodge  rooms  and  can  furnish  detailed  instructions 
regarding1  fire  escapes,  stairs,  toilet  rooms,  furnace  rooms, 
lighting,  ventilating-  and  other  matters  pertaining  to  con- 
struction of  Lodge  Buildings. 

A  bulletin  has  been  prepared  setting  out  in  detail  the 
various  requirements.  It  is  designated  form  L.B.  2  and  can 
be  had  on  application  to  the  Grand  Secretary. 

We  repeat  here  what  we  have  stated  on  numerous  oc- 
casions that  Lodges  contemplating  new  buildings,  or  the 
altering    of  existing  buildings,    should    write  to  the   Grand 


TORONTO,    ONTARIO,    1960  239 

Secretary  for  this  Eulletin  L.B.  2,  BEFORE  any  move  is 
made  to  prepare  plans  or  set  up  financial  arrangements. 
This  will  save  everyone  concerned  much  time  and  effort. 

The  Grand  Secretary  will  also  provide  a  bulletin  on 
"Procedure"  for  the  guidance  of  Lodge  Officers  in  initiat- 
ing building  schemes. 

From  the  time  that  the  regulations  were  passed  by 
Grand  Lodge  in  July  of  1958,  49  Lodges  have  submitted 
plans  for  consideration  by  the  Committee.  Many  sketches 
have  been  prepared  and  numerous  reports  have  been  compiled 
containing  instruction  and  advice  on  all  manner  of  construct- 
ion and  planning  problems. 

The  work  the  Committee  is  doing  seems  to  be  paying 
big  dividends.  We  are  very  appreciative  of  the  many  letters 
and  personal  messages  from  so  many  Lodges  stating  how 
glad  they  are  that  there  is  such  a  committee  to  guide  and 
advise  them  in  their  building  efforts. 

We  also  appreciate  the  staunch  support  we  have  had 
from  the  Grand  Master  on  matters  where  some  Lodges  seek 
an  easing  of  some  of  the  requirements  vital  to  the  safety 
and  comfort  of  the  lodge  members,  such  as  proper  fire 
exits,    safe   stairs,   and   suitable  toilet    accommodation,   etc. 

We  would  also  like  to  bring  before  this  Grand  Lodge 
one  item  of  great  concern  to  your  Committee,  that  is  the 
lack  of  proper  fire  exits  from  many  of  our  lodge  rooms  and 
banquet  rooms.  In  a  number  of  cases  where  plans  have  been 
submitted  we  have  had  to  be  very  insistent  on  Lodges  pro- 
viding fire  exits  which  comply  with  requirements  of  the 
Ontario  Fire  Marshal. 

We  know  that  all  will  agree  that  one  Mason's  life  is 
worth  more  than  all  the  time  and  expense  it  would  take  to 
correct  hazardous  conditions  in  every  Lodge  in  the  jurisdic- 
tion. We  strongly  urge  all  lodge  officers  to  take  a  hard 
look  at  their  fire  exits  and,  where  necessary,  take  steps  to 
have  them  made  safe.  Our  Committee  would  gladly  give 
advice  on  this  important  matter.  We  urge  District  Deputies 
on  their  official  visits  to  observe  the  exit  arrangements  and 
report  to  the  Grand  Secretary  any  that  they  consider 
hazardous. 

In  conclusion,  we  congratulate  the  many  Lodges  on  their 
efforts  to  improve  their  Masonic  Temples,  but  at  the  same 
time  we  must  express  our  regret  that  there  are  still  many 
lodge  premises  which  are  anything  but  a  credit  to  the  Craft. 

Respectfully  and  fraternally  submitted, 

GEO.   T.    EVANS, 

Chairman.

REPORT  OF  THE  COMMITTEE 
ON  FRATERNAL  CORRESPONDENCE 

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  Fraternal  Correspondence  for  the 
Masonic  Year  1959-60,  composed  of  R.W.  Bro.  E.  G.  Dixon, 
and  M.W.  Bro.  W.  J.  Dunlop,  Chairman,  reports  as  follows: 

FOREWORD 

The  kindly,  genial  Past  Grand  Master,  M.W.  Bro.  N.  C. 
Hart,  who  was  appointed  Chairman  of  this  Committee  a  year 
ago,  passed  to  the  Grand  Lodge  Above  in  December  of  1959, 
after  having,  during  his  long  illness,  written  only  six  Reviews. 
What  he  did,  he  did  well  and  he  is  sorely  missed  by  his 
colleagues  on  this  Committee. 

Since  this  Report  was  first  drafted,  the  Committee 
suffered  an  irreparable  loss  in  the  passing  on  May  1st  of 
another  former  Chairman,  the  Late  M.W.  Bro.  Frank  A.  Copus 
who  was  a  tower  of  strength  to  our  work  and  who  was  always 
available    for  consultation. 

Just  as  this  Repart  was  ready  for  the  printer,  another 
blow  fell  when  M.W.  Bro.  C.  S.  Hamilton  passed  suddenly 
away  on  May  29th.  He  was  a  valued  member  of  this  Com- 
mittee whose  sound  advice  we  greatly  miss. 

It  is  hoped  that  the  Reviews  herewith  submitted  may  be 
found  interesting  and  instructive.  They  may  be  useful  to 
students  of  Masonic  Education.  Those  who  read  them  will 
observe  that,  especially  in  the  United  States,  much  thought 
is  being  given  to  two  problems  which  worry  a  good  many 
Grand  Masters. 

One  of  these  difficulties  is  the  diminishing  attendance 
at  meetings  of  constituent  Lodges  and  another  is  the  de- 
creasing number  of  applicants  for  admission.  Losses  in 
membership  are  reported  by  many  Grand  Secretaries. 

Several  Grand  Masters  deplore  the  fact  that  Masters  of 
Lodges  are  so  poorly  prepared;  they  have  not  learned  the 
ritual  and,  it  is  said,  many  cannot  open  or  close  a  Lodge 
properly. 

Certainly,  these  trends  are  not  yet  generally  noticeable 
in  Canada  nor  in  Grand  Lodges  that  follow  the  British 
tradition.  In  Ontario,  any  prospective  Master  who  has  not 
thoroughly  mastered  the  contents  of  the  History  and  of  the 
"Manual  for  Masonic  Instructors  and  Students",  is  not  pre- 


paring:  as  he  should  for  the   honour  and  the  responsibility 
which  may  be  his  in  the  future. 

It  may  be  that  some  Masters  prize  the  honour  and  do 
not  take  the  responsibility  seriously.  They  should  forget 
the  former  and  concentrate  on  the  latter. 

Of  course,  in  these  days  there  are  more  counter  attract- 
ions than  there  were  in  earlier  years  and  this  condition  may 
account  for  decreasing;  attendance  in  many  places ;  but  perhaps 
the  former  interest  in  Masonry  is  diluted  and  dissipated  in 
Grand  Lodges  where  all  sorts  of  organizations  for  women,  for 
boys,  and  for  girls  are  recognized  as  Masonic.  Why  should 
they  be  so  labelled  ?  They  are  good  organization's,  of  course, 
but  why  must  they  be  known  as  Masonic  ?  Our  Y.M.C.A's, 
our  Y.W.C.A's,  our  Boy  Scouts,  our  Girl  Guides,  our  church 
groups,  and  many  other  groups  are  rendering  excellent 
service  but  no  one  would  ithink  of  asking  that  they  be  known 
as  Masonic  societies;  they  would  not  ask  that  and  we  would 
not  grant  such  a  request.    The  British  tradition  is  our  guide. 

Almost  every  Grand  Lodge  in  the  United  States  and  in 
Britain  operates  a  Masonic  Home  or  a  Masonic  School  or 
both.  In  Canada,  only  Nova  Scotia  has  a  home  for  aged 
Masons.  In  Ontario  our  Governments  are  building  Homes 
for  senior  citizens  at  a  most  satisfactory  rate  and  our 
Children's  Aid  Society  looks  after  dependent  children.  Why 
should  Grand  Lodge  duplicate  government  services,  as  some 
of  our  members  advocate  ? 

In  these  Reviews  attention'  is  directed  toward  differences 
and  similarities  in  procedure  and  operation  'and  it  is  hoped 
that  those  who  read  will  realize  .that  Masonry  is  far  from 
being  "in  the  doldrums",  as  some  try  to  say,  but  neverthe- 
less we  must  aill  be  more  enthusiastic  in  the  future  than  we 
have  been  in  the  past.  Only  devotion  to  Masonic  principles 
will  save  the  situation. 

Perhaps  a  fair  summary  of  the  basic  statements  in  the 
Addresses  of  most  Grand  Masters  in  the  southern  half  of 
this  continent  might  be  given  in  two  sentences.  First:  The 
foes  of  lodge  attendance  are  modern  entertainment,  late 
hours,  long  speeches,  poor  ritualistic  work,  lack  of  emphasis 
on  benevolence,  lack  of  interest.  Second:  While  Past 
Masters  may  support  and  Wardens  may  assist,  the  success 
of  any  Lodge  depends  almost  entirely  on  the  Master;  he  is 
the  key  man. 

All  of  which  is  fraternally  and  respectfully  submitted. 

W.  J.  DUNLOP, 

Chairman. 


Fraternal  Correspondence  and  Reviews 


ALABAMA— 1959 

139th  Annual  Communication — November  17  -  18 

Grand  Master,  1958-59— M.W.  Bro.  R.  E.  Berryman 
Grand  Master,  1959-60— M.W.  Bro.  J.  L.  Lawson 

Lodges,   435.  Membership,  76,057.  Gain,   626. 

According  <to  the  Masonic  Law  in  this  State,  a  Lodge 
that  is  not  represented  at  Grand  Lodge  for  two  successive 
years  must  forfeit  its  charter.  Three  Lodges  suffered  this 
penalty  but  a  compromise  was  effected  in  two  cases.  Not- 
withstanding this,  63  Lodges  took  the  first  step  towards 
forfeiture  by  failing  to  be  represented  at  this  Communication. 

There  must  be  some  good  reason,  not  apparent  on  the 
surface  at  least,  for  printing  twenty-one  pages  of  lists  of 
"defunct"  Lodges,  with  locations  and  dates;  the  first  five 
became  defunct  in  1821.  There  are  hundreds  of  them;  some 
forfeited  their  charters;  some  surrendered  their  charters; 
others  were  consolidated;  and  others  "folded"  up;  but  their 
memory  ds  kept  green,  year  by  year,  in  the  Proceedings. 

For  the  installation  ceremonies  of  one  Lodge  a  dispens- 
ation was  required  from  the  Grand  Master  because  the  first 
three  officers  were  absent!  Two  Lodges  asked  pel-mission 
to  solicit  aid  from  other  Lodges  to  finance  their  new  building 
and  this  permission  was  quite  properly  refused. 

Dispensations  were  issued  to  nine  Lodges  authorizing 
them  to  mortgage  their  property! 

"Last  year  at  Grand  Lodge",  said  the  Grand  Master  in 
his  Address,  "the  Canadian  Travelling  Symbol  of  Goodwill, 
which  has  travelled  over  a  great  portion  of  the  world,  was 
presented  to  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Alabama  to  be  used  in  some 
of  its  meetings.  This  Symbol  was  present  at  the  corner- 
stone laying  of  Lamon  Chapel  Lodge,  No.  727  on  September 
12th,  1959,  at  which  time  the  signatures  of  Grand  Lodge 
Officers  present  ....  were  inscribed  on  its  pages.  This 
Symbol  will  continue  its  tour  of  the  world  when  directions 
for  its  next  visit  are  received  from  Imperial  Lodge,  No.  543, 
Toronto,  Canada." 

The  Masonic  Home  had  shown  great  improvement  during

pleaded  for  an  extension  of  its  life  for  one  year  though  it 
had  not  been  represented  at  Grand  Lodge  for  two  consecutive 
years.  The  extension  was  granted  but  was  soon  withdrawn 
because  the  officers  showed  that  they  did  not  appreciate  the 
courtesy  extended  to  them  by  the  Grand  Master. 


ALBERTA— 1959 

54th   Annual   Communication — June   10   -   11. 

Grand  Master,  1958-59— M.W.  Bro.  D.  D.  McQueen 
Grand  Master,  1959-60— M.W.   Bro.   David   Little 

Lodges,   168.  Membership,  18,674.  Gain,  318. 

The  Committee  on  the  Condition  of  Masonry  commences 
its  Report,  quite  properly,  on  an  optimistic  note,  stating. 
"The  general  condition  of  Masonry  compares  fairly  well  with 
that  of  the  preceding  years;  the  Craft  appears  to  be  moving 
along  in  its  well-ordered  way,  with  steady  progress,  healthy 
growth,  and  with  beneficient  influence  upon  the  minds  and 
characters  of  its  members."  Of  course,  the  problems  and 
the  difficulties  are  common  to  all  Grand  Lodges  on  this 
Continent  and  the  Committee  goes  on  to  say  that  lodge 
attendance  has  not  improved;  that  the  amount  of  dues^  in 
arrears  is  too  large;  and  that  there  is  room  for  much  im- 
provement in  the  attention  being  given  to  Masonic  Education. 
Thus  the  Committee  faces  the  facts  in  candid  fashion. 

In  the  Foreword  to  his  generous  and  thoughtfully- 
written  Reviews,  W.  Bro.  H.  F.  Whittred  lays  his  finger 
accurately  on  at  least  one  of  the  problems;  one  which,  as  he 
says,  is  becoming  tragic,  when  he  reports  that  educational 
topics  and  social  evenings  have  not  produced  any  result  of  a 
permanent  nature.  "There  is  no  doubt,"  he  goes  on  to  say, 
"that  our  Lodges  are  faced  with  terrific  competition  and  the 
brethren  are  induced  to  distribute  their  time  to  unimportant 
and  definitely  third-rate  activities.  Is  it  that  our  values 
are  becoming  mixed?  Do  we  major  in  the  minor  things  of 
life  and  give  precedence  to  light,  frothy,  and  time-consuming 
interests  that  do  not  raise  the  moral,  spiritual,  or  intellectual 
level  ?  This  should  have  serious  consideration  in  view  of  the 
fact  that  there  is  a  definite  falling-off  of  new  applicants." 
(There  is  sound  philosophy.) 

The  same  writer  tells  his  brethren  that  committees  on 
character  are  taking  their  duties  more  seriously  which  may 
mean  a  reduction  in  the  number  of  candidates  but  this  is 
more  than  compensated  for  by  the  high  class  of  men  admit- 
ted.   (This  is  progress  of  the  right  sort.) 

Here  is  another  cause  of  poor  attendance.  The  Librarian 
says,  "It  is  disappointing  to  report  that  very  little  use  has 


FRATERNAL  CORRESPONDENCE  5 

been  made  of  the  library  during  the  past  year.  It  hardly 
seems  worthwhile  to  purchase  new  books  and  place  them  on 
the  shelves  if  the  brethren  are  not  going  to  use  them." 
(Surely  Masonic  reading  is  good  for  all  Masons,  young  and 
old.) 

The  Committee  on  Masonic  Education  has  depended 
largely  on  "The  Bulletin"  and  on  visits  and  addresses  to 
Lodges  "close  to  home".  Appreciation  is  expressed  for  the 
efforts  of  some  Masters  "to  keep  Masonry  alive"  by  creating 
a  deversdfied  programme.  A  general  programme  was  recom- 
mended a  year  ago  but  no  information  regarding  its  possible 
success  has  been  received  and  now  the  Committee  asks  that 
a  chairman  be  appointed  at  each  district  meeting. 

The  Higher  Education  Bursary  Committee  awarded  two 
bursaries  of  $500  each  and  two  of  $700  each.  For  the  next 
year  donations  were  asked  for  and  the  sum  of  $4,432  was 
received.  The  Committee  recommended  that  Grand  Lodge 
make  a  larger  grant.  (This  is  good  work.  We  hope  to  hear 
of  further  progress.) 

Benevolence  is  one  of  the  primary  projects  of  this  pro- 
gressive Grand  Lodge. 


ARKANSAS— 1959 

118th  Annual  Communication — November  17  -  18 

Grand  Master,  1958-59— M.W.  Bro.  John  T.  Bvrd 
Grand   Master,   1959-60— M.W.  Bro.   J.   A.   Laner 

Lodges,  380.  Membership,   55,903.  Loss,   242. 

The  Grand  Secretary  reported  with  regret  another  loss 
in  membership.  "This  loss,"  said  he,  "appears  to  be  caused 
by  unfinished  material  and  suspensions  for  non-payment  of 
dues.  It  is  noted  that  1,567  candidates  were  elected  this 
year  and  only  1,299  were  raised.  With  1,519  suspensions  it 
seems  that  more  are  eroing  out  the  back  door  than  are  coming 
in  the  front  door."  Not  since  1954  has  he  been  able  to  report 
a  gain  in  membership. 

The  Committee  on  Masonic  Education  had  presented  a 
series  of  questions  and  answers  for  each  of  the  three  degrees 
and  had  the  approval  of  Grand  Lodge,  two  years  ago,  to 
require  that  each  candidate  "stand  proficiency"  in  these  as 
well  as  in  the  regular  lectures.  However,  this  had  been  found 
to  be  too  much  burdensome  "homework  and  the  approval 
was  rescinded. 

Grand  Lodge  voted  $2,000  to  purchase  dental  equipment 
for  the  Children's  Hospital. 


6  GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA 

"The  Board  of  Custodians",  said  the  Grand  Master  in 
his  Address,  "continues  to  be  one  of  the  most  important 
Boards  of  our  Grand  Lodge.  It  is  composed  of  seven  of  our 
brethren  who  are  dedicated  to  the  work  that  has  been  assign- 
ed to  them.  They  know  the  esoteric  work  of  our  Grand 
Jurisdiction  and  are  skilled  in  the  art  of  teaching."  He  gave 
strong  commendation  of  the  service  rendered  by  the  Com- 
mittee on  Masonic  Education  which  held  fourteen  educational 
institutes  in  the  zones  into  which  the  Jurisdiction  is  divided. 

The  Grand  Master  urged  that  interest  be  maintained  in 
the  Acacia  Fraternity  until  the  total  amount  of  one  dollar 
per  member  has  been  achieved.  He  warned  some  constituent 
Lodges  that  they  must  not  overlook  or  neglect  holding  stated 
communications  on  the  two  St.  John's  Days. 

"Freemasonry  in  Arkansas  has  had  a  good  year,"  the 

Grand  Master  stated.     "We  have   tried,"  he  went  on,  "to 

impress  upon  all  who  would  listen  the  importance  of  the 
great  moral  and  spiritual  virtues  of  Freemasonry." 

There  is  a  long  and  interesting  report  from  the  Public 
Schools  Committee. 


CALIFORNIA— 1959 

110th  Annual   Communication — September  28  to   October  2 

Grand  Master,  1958-59— M.W.  Bro.  P.  N.  Myers 
Grand  Master,  1959-60— M.W.  Bro.  J.  L.  Shell 

Lodges,  691.  Membership,  240,128.  Gain,  2,474. 

There  were  thirty-one  Special  Communications  during 
the  year,  for  laying  the  corner-stones  of  four  public  schools, 
three  public  buildings,  three  Masonic  buildings  and  the  dedi- 
cation ceremonies  for  six  public  schools,  as  well  as  other 
Masonic  functions.  It  is  encouraging  to  know  that  Grand 
Lodge  is  still  asked  to  lay  corner-stones. 

When  the  Grand  Master  heard  that^  installation 
ceremonies  we're  being  held  in  private  rooms  in  hotels  and 
clubs,  he  issued  a  ruling,  (which  was  confirmed  by  Grand 
Lodge)  "that  such  open  installation  ceremonies  may  continue 
to  be  held'in  a  building  in  which  a  public  bar  is  also  operating 
provided  that  such  bar  is  not  on  the  same  floor  as  that  in 
which  the  installation  is  held."  He  warmly  thanked  those 
who  had  forwarded  the  important  work  of  Masonic  Education 
and  Research  and  commended  the  activities  of  the  three 
Research  Lodges.  He  answered  in  the  affirmative  a  question 
asking  whether  the  purchase  of  a  corner-stone  for  a  public 
school    building    is  a    proper  lodge   expense.      He    replied, 


FRATERNAL  CORRESPONDENCE  7 

"Since  a  corner-stone  is  essential  for  such  ceremonies,  it  may 
be  furnished"  under  Grand  Lodge  laws. 

Reviews  of  the  Proceedings  of  other  Grand  Lodges  had' 
appeared  quarterly  in  the  "California  Freemason,"  two 
copies  of  which  had  been  sent  to  each  Lodge.  This  pro- 
gramme will  be  continued  and  no  Reviews  appear  in  the 
Proceedings.  The  library  and  the  museum  are  to  be  greatly 
improved  and  expanded.  The  experience  with  scholarships 
for  advanced  study  in  higher  education  had  been  dormant 
because  the  Committee  found  the  submissions  of  applicants 
wanting-  in  many  respects  and  because  the  universities  having 
graduate  schools  had  not  co-operated. 

In  1959  there  was  extreme  Masonic  alertness  and  ready 
service  concerning  public  schools  everywhere  in  California. 
No  non-political,  non-sectarian,  non-professional  body  of 
intelligent  thinkers  gives  more  attention  to  public  education, 
public  schools,  or  children  in  public  schools  than  do  the  more 
than  1,000  Masonic  Lodges  in  our  State." 

Eighteen  boards  of  relief  advanced  $40,222.29  to  sojourn- 
ers and  their  families  during  the  year  and  of  this  large 
amount  only  $763.61  was  not  repaid  by  the  sojourner's  Lodge. 
These  cases  are  carefully  analyzed. 

In  1955  the  then  Grand  Master  ruled  that  the  playing 
of  bingo  is  contrary  to  Masonic  law  and  policy  but  the  game 
has  become  such  a  social  activity  that  it  was  found  necessary 
to  revise  that  ruling  in  1959  and  to  make  a  number  of 
restriction  dealing  chiefly  with  money  and  publicity.  Now 
bingo  can  be  lawfully  played. 


COLORADO-1959 

98th   Annual  Communication — January  27  -  28 

Grand  Master,  1958-59— M.W.  Bro.  G.  B.  Van  Fleet 
Grand  Master,  1959-60— M.W.  Bro.  C.  J.  Gobble 

Lodges,   161.  Membership,   46,490.  Gain,  201. 

At  each  visit  to  a  constituent  Lodge  the  Grand  Master 
spoke  on  the  necessity  of  understanding  and  supporting  the 
public  schools.  This  the  brethren  should  do,  he  said,  noft 
necessarily  as  Masons,  but  principally  as  Americans  striving 
to  retain  their  great  American  heritage. 

By  a  recent  vote,  the  people  of  Colorado  legalized 
"bingo"  and  raffles  for  fraternal,  charitable,  and  chwch 
organizations  if  licensed  by  the  state.    This  being  the  case, 


8  GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA 

a  Lodge  asked  whether,  having  a  family  night,  "bingo"  might 
be  played  on  a  nominal  basis  of  only  five  cents  per  card. 
The  Grand  Master  said,  "No"  and  went  on  to  point  out 
that  Freemasonry  is  expected  to  exemplify  a  high  degree 
of  morality  in  each  community  and  that  to  permit  gambling 
in  any  form  in  any  lodge  building  would  certainly  subject 
the  entire  Masonic  fraternity  to  justified  contempt  and 
ridicule. 

The  Grand  Master  stressed  the  importance  of  decorum 
at  Masonic  funerals,  asking  that  the  officers  be  proficient 
and  sincere  in  the  rendition  of  the  ceremony,  and  that  tihe 
attendance  of  brethren  be  large  neough  to  be  representative, 
in  order  that  Masonry  may  enhance  its  stature  in  the  com- 
munity. He  is  convinced  that  a  great  force  is  at  work  in 
the  nation  to  relegate  our  fraternity  into  the  background  of 
the  consciousness  of  the  public.  One  method  being  used  to 
accomplish  this  is  through  opposition  to  the  laying  of  the 
corner-stones  of  public  buildings  by  officers  of  Grand  Lodge. 
The  same  situation  exists  here;  twenty  years  or  more  ago 
Grand  Lodge  laid  corner-stones  but  not  in  recent  years! 

A  recommendation,  though  an  informal  one,  was  that 
the  dues  paid  by  members  of  Lodges  should  be  at  least 
$10.00  per  year.    Dues  are  too  low  in  many  Lodges. 

A  Committee  appointed  to  investigate  lodge  attendance 
found  that  the  average  for  the  year  was  17  per  cent,  the 
smaller  Lodges  doing  considerably  better  than  the  larger 
ones.  Indeed,  six  Lodges  with  memberships  over  1,000  each 
had  attendance  records  of  5.4  per  cent.  Recommendations 
for  improvement  which  the  Committee  made  include,  punctu- 
ality, advanced  planning  of  programs,  precision  in  ritual, 
personal  invitations  to  members,  giving  members  work  to 
do,  a  question  box,  special  meetings,  social  events.  This 
thorough-going  plan  deserves  to  succeed. 

The  Committee  on  Masonic  Education  gives  a  sketch 
of  the  lives  and  the  service  of  prominent  Masons  who  were 
pioneers  and  who  have  left  their  mark  in  the  history  of  the 
state;  and  it  recommends  re-reading  the  book  "Our  Masonic 
Heritage".  Books  are  recommended  for  individuals,  those  on 
sale  by  the  Grand  Secretary  and  those  in  the  Masonic 
Library.  Seven  service  letters  were  distributed  during  the 
year  and  the  Research  Lodge  of  Colorado  is  making  a  fine 
contribution  to   Masonic  knowledge. 

Masonic  Benevolence  receives  due  attention,  58  bene- 
ficiaries being  assisted  from  the  fund  during  the  year.  We 
hoM  to  hear  more  of  the  success  that  may  attend  the  efforts 
of  mis  Grand  Lodge  in  solving  almost  universal  problems.

CONNECTICUT— 1959 

171st  Annual  Communication — April  1-2. 

Grand  Master — M.W.  Bro.  Albert  H.  Ruwet 
Lodges,   132.  Membership,   48,095.  Loss,  36. 

Unfortunately,  the  Grand  Master  was  unable  to  be 
present,  being  seriously  ill  at  home  and  the  Deputy  Grand 
Master  presided.  The  very  efficient  Grand  Secretary  is  R.W. 
Bro.  Earle  K.  Halings,  P.G.M.  who  has  visited  our  Annual 
Communication  occasionally. 

Customs  and  terminology  vary  in  various  Grand  Lodges. 
For  example,  the  Minutes  tell  us  that  the  Acting  Grand 
Master  had  Grand  Lodge  "purged,"  which  is  a  new  expression 
to  us,  and  the  Roll  of  Lodges  was  called  only  until  it  was 
found  that  a  "constitutional  number  of  Lodges"  had  responded. 

The  Grand  Master's  Address  was  read  in  his  absence. 
He  began  by  stating  that  peace  and  harmony  prevail  and 
that  the  influence  of  Masonry  is  growing  in  strength  every 
year.  He  asked  for  a  continuance  of  this  condition  and  urged 
(adherence  to  the  ancient  land  marks,  yet  permitting  freedom 
for  the  development  of  Freemasonry .  He  had  _  been  asked 
whether  Prince  Hall  Negro  Lodges  are  clandestine  and  had 
replied  that  they  have  their  own  Grand  Lodge;  that  they 
have  not  asked  for  recognition  nor  has  such  been  extended 
to  them. 

Appointments  to  the  office  of  District  Deputy  Grand 
Master  are  made  by  the  Grand  Master  on  the  recommendation 
of  officers  of  the  Grand  Lodsre  in  the  several  Districts  who 
know  the  local  conditions.  "Those  appointed  last  year  have 
filled  their  offices",  said  the  Grand  Master,  "with  dignity 
and  efficiency".  They  had  also  served  as  hosts  and  guides 
for  the  visitors  who  came  on  Sundays  to  the  Home  and 
Hospital.  The  Grand  Master  had  not  tried  to  break  any 
records  in  visitations  but  he  attended  326  committee  meetings 
•^-"Blue  Lodges,  affiliated  bodies,  Eastern  Star  and 
Amaranth".  However,  the  diary  shows  that  he  really  made 
a  remarkably  large  number  of  visitations,  in  spite  of  his 
modest  disclaimer. 

The  Deputy  Grand  Master  also  reports  to  Grand  Lodge 
and  his  activities,  managerial  and  fraternal,  make  a  formid- 
able list.  For  the  second  year  in  succession  it  was  not 
necessary  to  discipline  anv  Lod^e  for  failure  to  be  repre- 
sented at  Grand  Lodge.  Tn  1958  there  were  presentations 
of  172  "fifty-vear  buttons"  in  75  Loderes.  The  new  Grand 
Master  is  M.W.  Bro.  Gordon  Ford  Christie. 


10  GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA 

There  is  an  active  committee  on  Masonic  Information 
and  Education  which  publishes  and  distributes  a  Manual  on 
"Candidate  Instruction" ;  Study  Clubs  have  been  commenced 
in  several  Lodges;  a  Manual  of  Masonic  Information  is  to  be 
printed  for  sale  and  a  mail-order  circulating  library  is  to  be 
established. 

This  strong  old  Grand  Lodge  is  carrying  on  so  mag- 
nificently that  it  is  a  pleasure  to  read  its  Proceedings. 


DELAWARE— 1959 

154th  Annual  Communication — October  7-8 

Grand  Master,   1958-59— M.W.  Bro.  C.  W.  Lewis 
Grand  Master,  1959-60— M.W.  Bro.  J.  B.  Kilvington 

Lodges,   24.  Membership,    8,553.  Gain,    152. 

Special  Communications  were  held  in  June  and  in  August 
for  the  purpose  of  laying  corner-stones,  one  of  a  college 
building,  (the  other  of  a  library.  It  is  a  pleasure  to  learn 
that  this  custom  persists. 

The  Grand  Master  visted  each  of  the  Lodges  during  has 
year  and  also  made  a  good  many  visitations  outside  his 
Jurisdiction,  frequently  accompanied  by  the  Grand  Secretary, 
R.W.  Bro.  Chester  R.  Jones,  a  genial  friend  of  ours  who 
has  become  a  veteran  of  the  Craft.  Though  the  Masons  of 
Delaware  are  proud  of  their  Masonic  Home  and  though 
their  annual  contributions  continue  to  increase  each  year, 
the  number  of  contributions  is  still  a  small  percentage  of 
the  total  membership.  The  response  to  the  general  invitation 
to  Masons  to  attend  church  services  on  "Masonic  Church 
Day"  was  very  gratifying. 

In  his  Address  the  Grand  Master  said,  "I  am  happy  to 
report  that  Masonry  in  the  State  of  Delaware  ds  at  a  high 
peak.  The  members  of  the  Fraternity  are  enjoying  the 
fellowship  and  fraternalism  which  indicates  that  peace  and 
harmony  prevail  throughout  our  Jurisdiction.  For  the 
Masonic  year  just  completed  we  have  enjoyed  a  normal  gain 
in  our  membership." 

There  was  in  Delaware  an  organization  of  men,  a 
prerequisite  of  whose  membership  was  that  an  applicant 
must  be  a  Master  Mason  in  good  standing.  When  the  Grand 
Master  was  told  that  this  organization  was  sponsoring  un- 
lawful entertainment,  he  summond  the  two  principal  officers 
to  meet  him  and  with  him  representatives  of  Grand  Lodge 
and  of  the  police.  After  full  discussion,  the  Grand  Master 
ordered  that  the  offending  organization  be  dissolved  and  his 
edict  was  obeyed. 


FRATERNAL  CORRESPONDENCE  11 

The  originality  displayed  by  the  Foreign  Correspondent, 
M.W.  Bro.  Allmond,  is  most  refreshing.  For  the  twelfth 
time,  again  in  topical  form,  he  presents  his  reviews  of  the 
things  which  he  feels  will  be  of  most  interest  at  home  and 
abroad — and  he  does  his  work  exceedingly  well.  His  com- 
ment on  the  outburst  of  Mississippi  against  Nova  Scotia  is 
this:  "Once  again,  the  colour  question  rears  its  ugly  head. 
It  is  this  reviewer's  fond  hope  that  no  further  developments 
may  happen.  Will  Mississippi  withdraw  from  the  Grand 
Masters'  Conferences'  because  New  Jersey  with  its  subordin- 
ate Alpha  Lodge  (Negro)  is  there?  Or  Puerto  Rico?  or 
England?  or  Scotland?  or  Ireland?  and  others  that  since 
their  foundings  have  never  drawn  the  colour  line?  This 
reviewer  wagers  it  will  not." 

During  the  year,  each  degree  is  exemplified  eleven  times 
in  the  central  Temple  in  order  that  every  elective  officer 
may  have  an  opportunity  to  become  proficient  in  his  work. 

There  is  an  excellent  scholarship  plan  by  which,  since 
1921,  113  students  have  been  assisted.  Delaware's  Report 
is  an  optimistic  one. 


DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA— 1959 

149th  Annual  Communication — December  16  -   17 

Grand  Master,  1959— M.W.  Bro.  R.  A.  Bogley 
Grand  Master,  1960— M.W.  Bro.  J.  A.  Johnston 

Lodges,  48.  Membership,    23,583.  Loss,    410. 

The  Grand  Secretary  commented  as  follows:  "For  the 
sixth  consecutive  year  it  becomes  necessary  to  report  a  loss 
of  membership— 410.  This  is  a  very  large  loss  but  it  is  70 
less  than  last  year.  The  record  shows  a  gratifying  increase 
in  the  number  of  re-instatements  but,  unfortunately,  the 
number  of  dimits  increased.  The  loss  by  non-payment  of 
dues — 221 — decreased  by  25  over  the  previous  year  and  _  it 
behooves  each  Lodge  to  use  every  effort  available  to  elimin- 
ate that  loss." 

The  Grand  Lecturer  read  an  excellent  report  on  the 
progress  made  in  providing  instruction  in  ritualistic  work. 
"Out  of  a  total  of  333  progressive  line  officers,  117  attended 
one-half  or  more  of  the  36  school  sessions.  There  were  only 
16  officers  who  failed  to  attend  any  sessions  of  the  school." 

The  Committee  on  Accounts  reported,  in  part,  as  follows: 
"The  wisdom  of  the  Grand  Lodge  action  at  a  special  com- 
munication in  November.  1957,  in  approving  a  special  assess- 
ment of  $1.00  per  member  was  again  demonstrated  during 


12  GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA 

the  year.  Without  these  funds,  receipts  of  the  Grand  Lodge 
would  have  fallen  short  of  expenses,  not  including  payments 
for  account  of  the  Masonic  Temple  Association,  by  $14,606. 
The  corresponding  figure  for  1958  was  $13,071  and  it  is 
estimated  that  the  1960  deficit  will  exceed  this  latter  amount. 
The  regular  $1.00  per  member  assessment  for  the  support  of 
Grand  Lodge  was  established  in  1909.  It  is  simply  impossible 
for  the  Grand  Lodge  to  meet  current  expenses  for  Salaries, 
taxes,  insurance,  supplies,  and  all  the  other  operating:  costs 
with  the  per  capita  revenue  established  50  years  ago." 
(This  quotation  is  given  here  because  it  concisely  describes 
a  situation  with  which  we  and  others  are  thoroughly  familiar.) 

The  Committee  on  Masonic  Education  recommended  the 
establishment  of  a  Research  Lodge  and  the  revival  of  the 
lodge  system  of  Masonic  Education.  This  Committee  makes 
a  distinction  (which  some  fail  to  make)  between  ritualistic 
instruction  and  education  in  the  history  and  the  philosophy 
of  Masonry.  This  type  of  education  "sharpens  the  Mason's 
interest  in  Freemasonry  which  is  the  first  step  in  regular 
attendance." 

A  reading  of  the  Proceedings  of  this  Grand  Lodge  gives 
one  the  definite  impression  that  it  is  well  and  carefully 
managed. 


ENGLAND— 1959 

Quarterly   Communication — September  2nd,   1959 

Notice  of  Quarterly  Communication  of  November  21st,  1959 

Grand  Master — M.W.  Rt.  Hon.  the  Earl  of  Scarbrough, 
K.G.,  G.S.C.I.,  G.  CLE.,  G.C.V.O.,  T,D. 

Grand  Secretary — V.W.  James  W.  Stubbs. 

Grand  Lodge  meets  in  Freemasons'  Hall,  Great  Queen 
Street,  London,  W.C.2.  There  cannot  be  in  all  the  Masonic 
world  a  more  beautiful,  more  complete  edifice  for  its  purpose 
than  Freemasons'  Hall.  How  many  Lodges  owe  allegiance 
to  the  United  Grand  Lodge  of  England?  Who  knows? 
Thousands,  many  thousands  of  English  Masons  are  living 
in  all  parts  of  the  British  Commonwealth  and  elsewhere.  How 
many?  No  one  can  know.  There  are  Lodges  under  the 
English  Constitution  in  almost  every  part  of  the  globe 
except  in  the  United  States;  there  are  three  in  Canada 
besides  the  English  District  Grand  Lodge  in  Newfoundland. 
It  is  a  vast  Masonic  empire. 

The  Board  of  Benevolence  reported  that,  on  May  20th, 
52  petitioners  were  "relieved"  to  the  extent  of  $21,000;  on 


FRATERNAL  CORRESPONDENCE  13 

June  17th,  49  petitioners  received,  in  all,  $18,000;  and,  on 
July  15th,  36  petitioners  were  provided  with  a  total  otf 
$13,000.  (These  amounts  are  given  at,  roughly,  $3.00  to  the 
pound.) 

The  Prestonian  Lectures  are  to  be  delivered  in  1960  by 
Sir  Sydney  Pope;  these  lectures  are  allocated  each  year  to 
two  Provincial  Lodges  and  one  London  Lodge,  selected  from 
those  that  have  made  formal  application.  These  Lodges  are 
expected  "to  afford  facilities  for  all  Freemasons  in  their 
area,  as  veil  as  their  own  members,  to  participate  and  thus 
ensure  an  attendance  worthy  of  the  occasion."  The  title 
of  the  Lectures  is  to  be  "The  Growth  of  Freemasonry  in 
England  and  Wales  since  1717." 

There  was  a  serious  case  against  a  member  who,  being 
acting  Treasurer  of  a  Lodge,  "exploited  the  situation  to  his 
own  financial  advantage"  to  the  extent  of  more  than  $1,800. 
When  this  was  discovered,  the  offender  obtained  a  personal 
loan  of  $1,200  and  paid  this  into  the  lodge  accounts.  The 
Board  of  General  Purposes  recommended  that,  after  33  years 
of  membership,  he  be  expelled  from  the  Craft. 

Since  the  previous  Quarterly  Communication  the  Grand 
Master  had  granted  Warrants  to  13  new  Lodges,  numbered 
from  7654  to  7666.  There  was  an  attendance  of  659  at 
this  Communication.  From  September  to  November  Warrants 
were  granted  to  16  new  Lodges  numbered  from  7667  to  7682, 
one  in  Ghana,  one  in  Kampala  (East  Africa),  another  in 
"Manama,  Manama,  Bahrin,  Arabian  Gulf".  Of  course,  no 
one  can  know  definitely  whether,  during  1969,  there  was  a 
gain  or  a  loss  in  membership  but,  since  29  new  Lodges  were 
warranted  and  there  is  no  suggestion  of  any  defection,  ^  it 
may  safely  be  assumed  that  "the  Mother  of  us  all"  is  in- 
creasing daily  in  strength  and  in  influence  as  has  been  rather 
generally  the  case  since  1717.  In  the  British  Iseles  we  see 
Freemasoniry  at  its  best.

The  Fraternal  Reviews  seem  to  be  particularly  well  done 
and  are  most  interesting.  Our  Proceedings  are  reviewed  in 
a  kindly  manner,  with  some  comments  which  are  especially 
significant;  for  example,  "It  seems  membership  in  O.E.S.  is 
improper  and  unlawful".  Correct.     Another  is,  "Grand  Lodge 


14  GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA 

seems  to  be  handling  its  benevolent  funds  in  such  a 
satisfactory  manner  that  there  is  no  talk  of  a  Masonic 
Home.  Surely  non-resident  relief  to  the  needy  is  the 
sensible  and  more  satisfactory  method."  We  thank  M.W. 
Bro.  Home  P.G.M.  for  his  commendation. 

During  the  year  many  Lodges  requested  permission  to 
incur  indebtedness  for  improvements  to  lodge  facilities. 
Grand  Lodge  has  approximately  $750,000  in  cash  and  liquid 
securities.  There  is  no  Committee  on  Masonic  Education 
but  the  Grand  Master  recommends  the  appointment  of  three 
committees;  (a)  "to  study  the  possibilities  of  publishing  an 
official  magazine  or  newspaper  that  will  carry  to  the  Craft 
full  information  on  all  matters  of  Masonic  interest";  (b)  to 
study  the  problem  of  low  attendance  at  lodge  meetings; 
(c)  to  study  the  possibility  of  setting  up  a  training  school 
for  lodge  secretaries.  It  is  noticeable  in  the  report  of 
several  committees  that  there  is  a  definite  opinion  in  their 
Grand  Jurisdiction  and  in  many  others,  that  many  lodge 
secretaries  are  extremely  lax  and  are  failing  in  their  im- 
portant duties. 

There  were  at  least  three  unusual  questions.  First. 
Is  it  proper  for  a  Lodge  to  conduct  graveside  funeral  services 
for  interment  of  ashes  of  a  deceased  brother  whose  remains 
were  cremated?  "Yes."  Second.  If  an  applicant  owns  stock 
in  a  liquor  manufacturing  company,  is  he  eligible  for  ad- 
mission? "No."  Third.  If  an  applicant  is  engaged  in  the 
selling  of  light  wines  and  beers  is  he  eligible  for  admission? 
"Yes."  "Consistency,  thou  are  a  jewel."  A  U.D.  Lodge  has 
no  authority  to  collect  an  affiliation  fee  nor  to  issue  receipts 
for  dues  to  members.  Lists  of  addresses  of  members  must 
not  fall  into  the  hands  of  persons  who  would  exploit  them 
for  commercial  purposes. 

Seven  new  Lodges  were  established.  The  Grand  Secre- 
tary was  obliged  to  write,  in  some  instances,  three  of  four 
letters  each  to  elicit  the  information  required  from  some 
lodge  secretaries.  There  were  entirely  too  many  errors  and 
omissions  in  many  lodge  reports  and  the  Grand  Secretary 
suggests  that  lodge  secretaries  should  be  "happy  to  have 
their  annual  returns  accurate  in  every  respect."  Fifteen 
Lodges  did  not  confer  any  degrees  during  the  year;  six 
Lodges  reported  work  in  the  first  degree  only. 

A  Committee  on  Actual  Past  Master  Degree  reports 
"that  we  have  had  191  applicants  with  188  receiving  the 
degrees  who  have  been  regularly  elected  and  installed  as 
Masters  of  their  particular  Lodges." 

The  Reviewer  very  properly  Comments  as  follows; 
"Poor  attendance  is,  of  course,  one  of  the  problems  confront- 
ing all  Grand  Lodges  but  hasn't  that  been  the  case  always?" 


FRATERNAL  CORRESPONDENCE  15 

He  attributes  this  to  ritual  being  given  in  a  non-impressive, 
sing-song  manner.  We  say  that,  as  usual,  he  has1  hit  at 
least  one  nail  on  the  head. 


GEORGIA— 1959 

173rd  Annual  Communication — October  27  -  28 

Grand  Master,  1958-59— M.W.  Bro.  R.  M.  Vandergriff 
Grand  Master,  1959-60— M.W.  Bro.  E.  A.  McWhorter 

Lodges,  481.  Membership,  99,703.  Gain,  393. 

Addressing  his  audience  on  the  topic,  "The  Craft  at 
Labour,"  the  Grand  Master  affirmed  that,  "in  general, 
Masonry  in  Georgia  is  holding  its  own.  However,  we  are 
experiencing  a  transition  period  that  is  having  its  effect 
on  a  great  number  of  our  Lodges."  "The  rural  Lodges," 
he  said,  "'have  few  candidates  and  life  in  the  cities  leaves 
many  men  no  time  for  Masonry."  "I  fear,"  he  said,  "that 
sometimes  we  recite  our  rituals  as  a  matter  of  form  with 
too  little  expression"  and  he  expressed  the  hope  that  every 
member  would  do  his  part  to  make  his  Lodge  not  only 
prosperous  but  also  "one  that  has  something  that  money 
can't  buy — good  Masonic  fellowship."  Reverting  to  the 
conferring  of  degrees  he  warned  his  brethren  that  the 
candidate  must  not  be  made  a  laughing  stock  for  the 
amusement  of  onlookers.  (In  Lodges  that  follow  the  British 
tradition  this  warning  is  never  heard  and  is>  never  necessary 
— pardon  us  for  this  remark.) 

What  unusual  ideas  some  Masters  express!  One  of  them 
asked  for  permission  to  confer  the  last  section  of  the  Master 
Mason  degree  in  a  cemetery!  Of  course,  the  Grand  Master 
declined  to  permit  this. 

It  was  reported  to  the  Grand  Master  that  a  member  of 
one  of  the  Lodges,  who  had  a  grocery  store,  was  selling  beer 
as  well  as  groceries.  Finding  the  report  correct,  the  Grand 
Master  ordered  that  charges  be  laid  against  the  Masonic 
grocer. 

When  a  formal  complaint  was  made  that  Masonic  politics 
was  rampant  in  a  Lodge,  that  caucuses  had  been  held  and 
solicitation  had  been  general,  the  Grand  Master  declared 
the  election  of  officers  null  and  void  and  ordered  a  new 
election  even  though  the  officers  had  been  installed.  (This 
was  a  courageous  act  which  FihouM  be  a  good  lesson.)  A 
Lodge  sent  out  a  general  letter  soliciting  funds  for  a  new 
building.  This  Lodge  was  instructed  to  return  all  such 
funds  received  and  was  given  a  reprimand  by  the  Grand 
Master. 


16  GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA 

During  the  year  two  new  Lodges  were  constituted,  two 
Lodges  were  consolidated  with  two  others,  and  one  Lodge 
surrendered  its  charter.  The  Home  for  Children,  to  Which 
is  assigned  45  per  cent  of  the  per  capita  tax,  is  rendering 
excellent  service;  there  are  70  boys  and  girls  there.  Thirteen 
young  people,  formerly  in  the  Home,  are  attending  college 
on  scholarships  provided  by  the  Higher  Education  Fund  to 
which  349  Lodges  contributed  $19,372.  (This  is  gratifying 
information.) 

The  official  publication,  the  "Masonic  Messenger,"  is 
said  to  be  a  most  enlightening  magazine.  88,000  copies  are 
mailed  each  month;  disbursements  exceed  receipts  by  ap- 
proximately $13,000.  Some  Lodges  are  not  meeting  regularly; 
some  do  not  confer  degrees;  and  attendance  is  generally  low. 
However,  all  this  is  to  be  corrected. 


IDAHO— 1959 

93rd  Annual   Communication — September  15-17 

Acting  Grand  Master — M.W.  Bro.  Elmer  E.  Nelson 

Lodges,   84.  Membership,    14,862.  Gain,    104. 

Most  unfortunately  this  Grand  Lodge  lost  its  Grand 
Master,  M.W.  Bro.  Glen  W.  Royse,  on  July  14th,  1959,  at 
the  age  of  49,  after  an  illness  of  several  months. 

Befor  a  Senior  Warden  can  be  promoted  to  the  chair  of 
Master  in  Idaho,  he  must  have  qualified  for  a  "certificate  of 
proficiency",  and  it  is  gratifying  to  read  how  strictly  this 
rule  is  enforced.  In  one  Lodge,  the  Master,  the  Secretary, 
and  eleven  other  Past  Masters  and  brethren  (perhaps  13  is 
xmlucky)  asked  the  District  Deputy  Grand  Master  to  issue 
the  certificate,  though  they  knew  that  the  Senior  Warden 
had  not  learned  all  of  the  necessary  lectures.  The  District 
Deputy  Grand  Master  refused.  However,  an  election  was 
held  and  the  Senior  Warden  was  elected:  a  second  ballot 
was  demanded  and  he  was  elected  again.  The  Grand  Master 
then  ruled  that  this  election  was  null  and  void  and  ordered 
that  all  the  officers  remain  in  their  offices  until  their 
successors  were  elected  and  installed. 

A  ruling  of  unusual  interest  was  that  there  must  be 
no  smoking  of  tobacco  in  any  form  within  the  confines  of 
the  lodge  room  during  the  time  the  Lodge  is  at  labour. 
Let's  say  it  humbly — as  far  as  we  know,  there  has  never 
been  a  suggestion  that  there  might  be  a  necessity  in  this 
country  for  a  ruling  like  that.    It  simply  isn't  done. 

The  Grand  Master  issued  a  very  precise  ruling  regarding 
the   use   and   the  care  of    Sermons   and   Keys.      These  two 


FRATERNAL  CORRESPONDENCE  17 

words  are  not  in  our  Masonic  vocabulary  but  they  seem  to 
concern  the  ritual. 

A  remarkably  interesting  and  inspiring'  address  was 
delivered  by  the  Grand  Orator,  M.W.  Bro.  Angus  G.  Bethune. 
He  urged  that  Masons  examine  the  American  political  scene 
and  the  American  educational  system,  not  as  partisans  but 
as  citizens  and  he  emphasized  the  fact  that  participation  by 
Masons  in  these  fields  is  urgently  needed. 

Fifty-one  "Certificates  of  Proficiency"  were  issued  on 
the  recommendation  of  District  Deputy  Grand  Masters  and 
thirty-nine  fifty-year  certificates  and  lapel  buttons  were 
awarded  to  brethren  who  had  completed  a  half  century  as 
Masons.  Twenty  of  the  twenty-three  living  Past  Grand 
Masters  responded  to  tihe  roll  call. 

"Most  Lodges  in  Idaho  will  admit  that  their  average 
attendance  is  less  than  ten  per  cent  of  their  membership. 
Even  nine  per  cent  is  good.  That  is  over  the  national  average. 
But  what  do  we,  as  Lodges  or  as  individuals,  do  for  the 
ninety  per  cent  who  do  not  attend  Lodge?"  Here  is  a 
statement  that  "rings  a  bell"  in  Ontario.  The  answer  in 
Idaho  is  the  publication  of  a  bulletin  of  news  similar  to 
ours,  but  some  lodge  secretaries  do  not  bother  to  mail  the 
bulletin!  Masonic  Education  is  actively  promoted  with  reason- 
able success.  There  is  a  Special  School  Committee  whose 
duty  is  to  take  all  possible  means  to  prevent  encroachment 
on  the  public  school  system  by  parochial  or  denominational 
schools. 

Anyone  who  reads  the  Idaho  Proceedings  will  realize 
that  Masonry  in  that  State  carries  on  under  excellent 
management. 


ILLINOIS— 1959 

120th  Annual  Meeting — October  9-10. 

Grand  Master,  1958-59— M.W.  Bro.  H.  R.  Kopfman 
Grand  Master,  1959-60— M.W.  Bro.  P.  R.  Stephens 

Lodges,  935.  Membership,  243,348.  Loss,  3,291. 

The  Grand  Master's  Address  is  a  remarkable  document, 
evidently  the  product  of  a  well-ordered  mind.  He  tells  of 
some  most  deplorable  situations  but  he  explains  immediately 
what  he  has  done  to  rectify  such  conditions  and  how  success- 
ful his  efforts  have  been.  For  example,  he  shows  that  the 
increase  in  the  decrease  in  membership  in  1959  has  been 
relatively  less,  though  numerically  more,  than  the  increase 


18  GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA 

in  the  decrease  of  1958  over  1957.  When  one  can  be  opti- 
mistic to  that  extent,  nothing  could  possibly  discourage  such 
a  cheerful  leader  of  men.  He  suggests  consideration  of  a 
shorter  form  of  opening  a  Lodge  and  he  reminds  his 
hearers,  with  apparent  nostalgia,  that  there  was  a  time, 
years  ago,  when  officers  took  pride  in  learning  the  ritual 
and  giving  it  impressively,  whereas  now  officers  give  little 
thought  to  this  requirement.  When  elected  Junior  Warden, 
many  realize  suddenly  'that  they  have  been  "placed  in  an 
executive  position  with  an  office  boy's  knowledge  and 
experience". 

The  Grand  Master  says  further:  "The  word  'incentive' 
has  been  all  but  deleted  from  our  Masonic  vocabulary.  There 
is  little  incentive  for  the  young  man  to  petition  a  Lodge  for 
the  degrees;  with  few  petitions  there  is  little  incentive  for 
the  officers  to  learn  the  work;  and,  with  the  knowledge 
that  a  Lodge  has  incompetent  officers,  there  is  no  incentive 
for  the  layman  to  attend  lodge."  Truly,  a  melancholy  picture 
but  there  are,  in  this  Grand  Jurisdiction,  208  small  Lodges, 
located  dn  small  towns,  that  are  "prosperous,  well  conducted 
under  competent  and  aggressive  leadership  and  a  credit  to 
Masonry  and  to  their  respective  commuities."  There  is  the 
other  side  of  the  picture! 

Such  being  some  conditions,  the  Grand  Master  ordered 
a  good  many  Lodges  to  appoint  committees  to  initiate 
negotiations  for  consolidation  with  stronger  Lodges.  This 
order  so  wakened  15  Lodges  that  they  improved  their 
positions  and  the  order  was  rescinded.  And  43  consolidations 
took  place!  The  Grand  Master  took  strong  action  with  good 
results. 

He  undertook  another  large  and  important  task  and  sent 
out  a  questionnaire  to  try  to  ascertain  how  well  the  officers- 
had  learned  the  ritual.  Many  Lodges  had  elected  officers 
who  had  not  even  "a  nodding  acquaintance"  with  the  ritual 
and  could  neither  open  nor  close  a  lodge  meeting.  Few 
Masters  could  conduct  a  funeral.  As  usual,  the  Grand 
Master  took  drastic  action,  sent  out  a  strong  but  kindly 
letter;  forbade  advancement  of  incompetent  officers;  instruct- 
ed Past  Masters  to  take  over  in  some  cases;  and,  generally, 
cleared  up  the  situation  as  far  as  could  be  done  in  a  short 
time.    A  strong  hand  was  needed  at  the  helm! 

And  now  a  4-point  program  has  been  adopted.  One. 
Create  social  activity;  make  lodge  meetings  more  interesting; 
clean  up  lodge  halls,  paint  and  repair  temples  and  spruce 
up  temple  grounds;  clean  garments  and1  paraphernalia.  Two. 
Raise  fees  and  dues.  Three.  Create  Charity  Fund  Four. 
Enlarge  Home's  endowment  fund.  This  seems  to  be  an 
excellent  prescription.

Grand  Master,  1958-59— M.W.  Bro.  T.  J.  Jena 
Grand  Master,  1959-60— M.W.  Bro.  J.  C.  Humphrey 

Lodges,   546.  Membership,  185,117.  Loss,   94. 

Among  the  guests  were  our  Grand  Master  and  our  Grand 
Secretary.  Deploring  the  slight  loss  in  membership,  the 
Grand  Master  advised  soliciting  former  members  and  un- 
affiliated Masons  to  seek  restoration  and  he  suggested 
greater  efforts  to  stem  the  tide  of  suspensions  for  non- 
payment of  dues.  Active  Masonic  Education  committees, 
using  tihe  Mentor  Plan  could,  he  suggests,  be  most  helpful. 
In  two  years  1,913  members  were  suspended  N.PJ3. 

The  Grand  Master  and  his  officers  laid  the  corner-stones 
of  two  school  buildings  and  dedicated  nine  new  Masonic 
Temples.  Twelve  Grand  Lodges  sent  representatives  'to  a 
Mid- West  Conference  on  Masonic  Education,  the  purpose  of 
which  was  to  exchange  ideas  and  methods  for  advancing 
this  very  desirable  enterprise.  The  Grand  Master  deplored 
the  appalling  number  of  charges  against  members  of  the 
Order;  he  could  not  understand  why  so  many  Masons  suc- 
cumb to  temptations  and  violations  of  both  moral  and  civil 
laws.  The  Grand  Secretary  reported  that  in  tihe  past  eleven 
years  there  had  been  nine  cases  of  embezzlement  of  lodge 
funds  by  lodge  (Secretaries;  the  largest  amount  being  $5,400 
of  which  $5,000  was  recovered.  A  trusted  official  who  held 
several  positions  in  Grand  Lodge  and  in  the  Indiana  Masonic 
Home  Foundation  misappropriated  almost  $360,000  which  he 
used  in  his  own  business.  The  bonding  company  paid 
$100,000;  the  official  was  expelled  from  the  Craft  and  is 
serving  a  term  of  nine  years  in  prison.  What  a  tangled 
web  he  wove  of  deceit,  cunning,  and  forgery!  In  advance  of 
the  annual  meeting  two  unauthorized  circulars  entitled 
"Masonic  Information"  were  mailed  to  members,  attacking 
the  Grand  Master,  the  Trustees,  and  the  officers  of  Grand 
Lodge  for  their  handling  of  the  embezzlement  incident. 

The  Grand  Master  quoted,  in  part:  "Don't  expect  perfect- 
ion in  a  man  just  because  he  is  a  Mason.  Masonry  makes 
men  better  but  no  human  agency  can*  make  them  perfect 
The  aim  of  Masonry  is  to  receive  none  but  good1  .men,  keep 
them  good,  and  make  them  better.  Judge  the  institution, 
not  by  a  few  failures,  but  by  the  average  of  its  successes." 

Grand  Lodge  publishes  an  official  organ,  The  Indiana 
Freemason,  which  has  been  doing  good  work  for  36  years. 
A  News  Letter  is  mailed  monthly  to  'the  Masters  and  the

Fraternity  in  general.     It  is   surprising1  to  read  that  1,891 
Masons  were  unable  to  pay  their  dues  in  1958. 

The  Grand  Master  has  urged  his  brethren  to  take  an 
active  interest  in  the  youth  of  the  country.  A  recommend- 
ation of  his,  adopted  with  restrictions,  was  that  a  Lodge  may 
use  lodge  funds,  upon  proper  vote,  to  encourage  or  sponsor 
youth  organizations  which  are  permitted  by  regulations  to 
use  the  lodge  rooms.  The  restriction  is  that  for  this  pupose 
funds  expended  must  not  exceed  25  per  cent  of  the  amount 
contributed  in  the  previous  year  to  the  Masonic  Home  or  to 
other  recognized   charities. 

Indiana's  Grand  Lodge  is  one  of  the  great  ones,  well 
organized,  well  managed. 


IOWA— 1959 

115th  Annual  Communication — September  17-18 

Grand  Master,  1958-59— M.W.   Bro.  C.   Dale  Cox 
Grand  Master,  1959-60— M.W.  Bro.  W.  W.  Bishop 

Lodges,  548.  Membership,   94,381.  Loss,  482. 

Having  read  the  Iowa  Grand  Lodge  Bulletin  regularly 
for  many  years,  and  having  become  familiar  with  the  names 
of  Brother  H.  L.  Haywood  and  Brother  E.  B.  Delzell,  this 
Reviewer  long  ago  placed  Iowa  on  a  pedestal,  especially  in 
Masonic  Education.  Reading  the  Proceedings  of  the  1959 
Communication  confirms  and  enhances  that  opinion. 

The  Grand  Master  was  disturbed  over  the  loss  in  mem- 
bership and  also  over  the  decline  in  lodge  attendance  and 
the  reduction  in  the  number  of  applicants.  "A  few  of  our 
Lodges  are  inactive,"  he  said,  "indicating  very  little  interest 
by  their  attendance,  creating  a  dormant  attitude  for  _  the 
general  practice  of  Masonic  influence  in  their  communities." 
"The  Iowa  Committee  on  Masonic  Education  holds  an  im- 
portant position  in  Iowa  Masonry,  and  from  past  activities 
reflects  an  increase  in  knowledge  of  Masonic  philosophy 
throughout  our  Grand  Jurisdiction".  Masonic  Education,  he 
suggests,  may  be  the  means  used  to  encourage  and  to  as- 
sist smaller,  inactive  Lodges. 

Strange  as  it  may  seem,  two  Past  Grand  Lodge  officers 
undertook  to  circularize  all  the  Lodges  without  asking  the 
permission  of  the  Grand  Master  or  the  Grand  Secretary. 
Though  there  Is  no  law  against  such  extraordinary  action, 
the  customs  and  ancient  usages  of  'procedure  were  grossly 
violated  in  this  instance  and  the  Grand  Master  was  humiliated.

In  the  Masonic  Library,  one  of  the  finest  in  the  world, 
there  is  a  wealth  of  material  which  is  in  constant  use. 
During  the  year  1,050  books  and  1,790  clippings  were  loaned 
and  many  requests  for  information  were  received  and 
answered. 

There  had  been  a  proposal  the  year  before  that  a  penalty 
should  be  imposed  on  any  Lodge  which  was  not  represented 
at  Grand  Lodge  at  two  successive  communications.  This  was 
regarded  as  too  drastic  and  a  special  committee  was  appoint- 
ed to  make  a  thorough  investigation  of  the  situation. 
Reporting  to  Grand  Lodge,  the  Committee  found  that  one 
remedy  might  be  a  requirement  that  the  Master  of  each 
Lodge  could  be  expected  by  the  Lodge  to  attend  as  part  of 
his  regular  duties.  An  excuse  given  by  some  was  that  a 
three-day  session  of  Grand  Lodge  kept  a  representative  away 
too  long  from  his  business  and  another  excuse  was  that 
reports  are  too  long  and  too  dry.  (Any  excuse  will  do!) 
If  lodge  attendance  and  interest  could  be  increased,  attend- 
ance at  Grand  Lodge  would  also  increase;  but,  says  the 
report,  "Lack  of  attendance  at  the  subordinate  lodge  level 
is  common  throughout  the  United  States  and  prevails  in 
every  jurisdiction."  And  so.  as  always,  the  basic  difficulty 
was  found  to  be  in  the  indifference  and  indolence  of  the 
officers  of  the  constituent  Lodges. 

As  was  to  be  expected  in  Iowa,  the  Committee  on  Masonic 
Education  was  successfully  active  during  the  year  and 
rendered  excellent  service. 


IRELAND— 1959 

Annual  Report  of  the  St.  John's  Day  Meeting  and  the  Annual 
Communication  of  Grand  Lodge  held  in  Belfast  in  October. 

Grand   Master — M.W.   Bro.   Raymond    F.   Brooke 

Lodges,  1,015.  Contribution  for  Benevolence  approx.  $58,000. 

This  Reviewer  is  proud  and  happy  to  be  the  Grand 
Representative  of  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Ireland  near  our  own 
Grand.  Lode?.  When  I  see'  in  this  Annual  Report  the  name 
of  the  Grand  Master  who  was  so  kind  and  hospitable  to 
M.W.  Bro.  Maher  and  to  me  and  our  wives;  and  the  name 
of  the  R.W.  and  R.  Hon.  Lord  Donoughmore  who  entertained 
us  last  August  so  magnificently;  also  the  names  of  R.W. 
Bro.  James  O.  Harte.  Grand  Secretary,  and  of  our  Grand 
Representative,  V.W.  Bro.  Thomas  Jackson,  (Whom  I  met  by 
the  most  curiously  providential  coincidence  of  my  career) ,  and 
others,  I  experience  a  touch  of  nostalgia  as  if  I  were  o^e 
of  this  fine  family  and  away  from  the  home  where  they  work. 


22  GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA 

In  this  Report  many  healt-felt  tributes  are  paid  to  the 
late  R.W.  Bro.  Frank  Lowe  who  was  Deputy  Grand  Master 
and  for  whom  I  had  the  highest  regard,  esteem,  and  affection 
after  meeting  him  nine  years  ago  at  the  Annual  Communic- 
ation. 

There  are  buoyantly  optimistic  reports  from  the 
Provincial  Grand  Lodges  of  Antrim,  Armagh,  North  Con- 
naught,  South  Connaught,  Down,  Londonderry  and  Donegal, 
Meath,  the  Midland  Counties,  Munster,  South  Eastern,  North 
Munster,  Tyrone  and  Fermanagh,  Wicklow  and  Wexford, 
New  Zealand,  South  Africa  Northern,  Southern  Cape  Province, 
Rhodesia,  Natal,  Western  India,  and  from  the  Grand  Inspect- 
ors of  Nothern  India  and  Parkistan,  Hong  Kong,  China,  and 
Malaya,  Bermuda  and  Ceylon.  What  a  world-wide  influence 
is  wielded  by  this  Grand  Lodge  of  Ireland!  No  complaints, 
no  "appendant  orders,"  stress  always  on  benevolence,  Masonic 
Education  and  Masonic  Church  Services  where  the  collections 
are  added  to  the  funds  for  benevolence!  What  a  happy 
situation!  Six  new  Warrants  were  issued  during  the  year, 
4  in  County  Down,  one  in  Western  India  and  one  in 
Rhodesia,  this  last  one  being  named  in  memory  of  the  late 
R.W.  Bro.  Frank  A.  Lowe. 

The  Lodges  of  Instruction  were  attended  by  larger 
numbers  of  enthusiastic  brethren  than  ever  before.  The 
brethren  were  encouraged  to  ask  questions  and,  at  every 
meeting,  took  full  advantage  of  the  opportunity. 

The  Provincial  Grand  Master  of  Londonderry  and 
Donegal  writes:  "The  number  of  candidates  coming  forword 
has  been  well  maintained  and  in  this  connection  I  wish  to 
place  on  record  my  appreciation  of  the  splendid  work  done 
by  our  Committees  of  Inspection.  The  care  and  vigilance 
with  which  the  brethren  of  these  committees  perform 
their  duties  in  the  selection  of  candidates  cannot  be  too 
highly  praised  nor  can  the  importance  of  these  duties  be 
too  highly  stressed  when  we  realize  that  Freemasonry  to- 
morrow depends  on  the  type  of  candidate  admitted  to-day." 

The  Provincial  Grand  Master  of  Western'  India  was 
greatly  pleased  to  find  that  brethren  belonging  to  Lodges 
under  the  English  and  Scottish  Constitutions  are  attending 
Trish  Lodges,  are  learning  the  Irish  Ritual,  and  are  accept- 
ing junior  offices  in  Irish  Lodges  in  that  country. 

Tn  tJbe  Masom'c  Girls'  School  therp  are  87  resident 
pupils  and  in  the  Masonic  Boys'  School  the  enrollment  is  107. 
These  two  schools  are  rendering  excellent  service  as  they 
have  done  for  many  years. 

There  is  a  fine  Grand  Lodge  Library  and  Museum, 


FRATERNAL  CORRESPONDENCE  23 

The  Declaration  of  1938  is  re-printed  in  this  Annual 
Report;  the  aims  of  Freemasonry  are  stated  in  precise 
terms  which  were  agreed  upon  in  1938  by  the  Grand  Lodges 
of  England,  Scotland  and  Ireland;  and  all  these  terms 
were  confirmed  again  in  1949.  We  might  reprint  that 
Declartion  occasionally. 


KANSAS— 1959 

103rd  Annual  Communication — March  11-12 

Grand  Master— M.W.  Bro.  Earl  R.  Brown 
Grand  Secretary — M.W.  Bro.  C.  S.  McGinness 

Lodges,  440.  Membership,  100,855.  Loss,  418. 

Following  the  customary  opening  ceremonies  the  Grand 
Master  addressed  Grand  Lodge  deploring  that  the  line  be- 
tween ideologies  was  so  sharply  drawn  that  geographical 
neighbours  were  widely  apart  on  fundamental  beliefs.  He 
referred  fittingly  to  the  1,831  Kansas  Masons  who  had  laid 
down  their  working  tools  during  the  year. 

The  Kansas  Masonic  Home  has  been  in  operation  for 
over  20  years  and  now  covers  an  area  of  14  acres.  The 
average  age  of  inmates  is  81  years  and  the  cost  per  capita 
is  over  $1,000.00.  The  number  of  patients  in  the  infirmary 
has  risen  to  141. 

Among  his  activities  several  appointments  are  listed,  in- 
cluding a  Grand  Orator,  some  five  Grand  Representatives, 
and  a  new  Grand  Secretary  to  replace  M.W.  Bro.  A.  H. 
Strickland  who  had  resigned.  The  Grand  Master  visited 
several  Conferences  and  Jurisdictions  outside  Kansas.  He 
presented  several  25-year  and  50-year  emblems  on  his  visits 
in  his  State. 

During  the  fear  he  laid  five  corner-stones,  performed 
several  consecrations  and  dedications,  and  complimented  the 
Masons  on  the  improvement  of  several  premises. 

M.W.  Bro.  Floyd  S.  Ecord,  P.G.M.,  Chairman  of  the  Com- 
mittee on  Correspondence  reviewed  the  Proceedings  of  some 
40  Grand  Jurisdictions  in  the  United  States  and  three  in 
Canada.  The  Grand  Lodge  of  Canada  (in  Ontario)  was 
omitted-  He  has  sources  of  information  not  available 
generally,  because  he  tells  us  (and  it  sounds  reasonable)  tihat 
the  United  Grand  Lodge  of  England  has  6,831  Loderes  of 
which  number  1,604  are  in  tile  City  of  London;  4,411  are 
Provincial  Lodges,  and  816  are  District  and  "Abroad"  Lodges. 
No  membership  figures  are  given.

The  Committee  on  Masonic  Education  distributes  four 
booklets  (as  we  do).  These  are  entitled,  "On  the  Threshold, 
The  Entered  Apprentice,  The  Fellowcraft  and  the  Master 
Mason."  Since  1956,  the  Committee  has  published  20,000 
copies  of  a  booklet  entitled  "One  Hundred  Questions  about 
Freemasonry."  This  Committee  is  also  charged  with  the 
distribution  of  the  "Laws  of  Masonry."  There  are  six  area 
meetings,  each  attended  and  addressed  by  the  Grand  Master; 
and  at  each  of  them,  much  time  was  given  to  public  schools. 
Delegates  were  sent  to  the  Mid- West  Conference  on  Masonic 
Education. 

"Each  year  more  and  more  brethren  qualify  for  pro- 
ficiency certificates  of  one  kind  or  another  and  each  year 
seems  to  find  an  increase  of  interest  in  the  District  Meetings 
and  the  attainment  of  a  higher  degree  of  perfection  in  the 
ritual."     After  all,  this  is  most  important. 

M.W.  Bro.  A.  C.  Irby  was  duly  elected  and  installed  as 
Grand  Master  of  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Kansas  for  1959-60.

KENTUCKY— 1959 

159th  Annual  Communication — October  20,  21  -  22 

Grand  Master,  1958-59— M.W.  Bro.  M.  3.  Whitton 
Grand  Master,  1959-60— M.W.   Bro.  J.  R.  Vinson 

Lodges,  470.  Membership,  100,411.  Gain,  300. 

It  is  simply  irresistable — this  commendation  from  the 
pen  of  the  Fraternal  Correspondent,  M.W.  Bro.  Chas.  A. 
Keith, — who  says  of  our  Grand  Lodge,  "This  is  one  of  the 
worlds  really  great  Grand  Jurisdictions,  well  organized, 
ably  officered,  and  progressive."  (How  much  he  has  said  in 
one  short  sentence!)  A  copy  of  our  Proceedings  did  not 
reach  him,  for  some  reason,  and  he  gleaned  his  impressions 
from  our  Bulletins.  Here  is  another  quotation  from  M.W. 
Bro.  Keith's  facile  pen.  "The  overall  picture  is  not  too  bad 
but  the  trend  is  discouraging.  Increasing  decreases  and 
decreasing  increases,  if  continued,  will  bring  catastrophe  to 
an  institution.  We  wish  we  could  share  the  optimism  of 
some  of  our  reviewers  and  others;  but  we  have  never  learned 
to  be  happy  at  the  prospect  of  being  in  a  leaking  ship  in  the 
mid-Pacific;  or  at  having  the  bases  full,  with  nobody  out, 
and  the  leading  hitter  of  the  league  coming  to  bat."  (How 
is  that  for  metaphors  and  similes  ? )  Again  he  says,  "Apathy, 
indifference  and  preference  for  competing  entertainment  will 
lead  to  non-attendance  and  non-attendance  is  the  natural 
precursor  of  demits  and  suspensions."     M.W.  Bro.  Keith  is 


FRATERNAL  CORRESPONDENCE  25 

an  experienced  expert  in  analyzing  the  situation  and  looking 
for  remedies. 

The  Grand  Lodge  operates  successfully  two  Homes,  one 
for  Old  Masons  and  another  for  Masonic  Widows  and  Orphans. 
These  are  rendering  excellent  service — a  fine  demonstration 
of  'Masonic  benevolence  at  its  best. 

The  following  quotation  must  surely  have  been  a  stern 
warning  to  disinterested  delinquents.  "I  regret  to  say  that  we 
have  some  Lodges  that  do  not  possess  enough  interest  in 
Masonry  to  hold  regular  meetings  or  to  conduct  the  affairs 
of  the  Lodge."  Of  course,  such  Lodges  cannot  receive 
petitions  or  confer  a  degree.  The  Grand  Master  recommend- 
ed very  properly  the  elimination  of  the  regulation  which 
provides  that  a  Lodge  must  hold  at  least  one  meeting  a  year 
(What  a  regulation  that  was!)  and  asked  for  an  emendation 
that  Lodges  must  hold  stated  meetings  monthly  (perhaps  ten 
times  a  year  would  be  acceptable)  under  penalty  of  losing 
their  charters.  (Let  none  of  us  say,  "That  can't  happen 
here.") 

There  was  another  regulation  which  stated,  "The  instal- 
lation of  its  officers  is  a  part  of  the  work  of  the  Lodge  and 
should  not  be  open  to  the  general  public."  Few  of  us  would 
go  along  with  the  Grand  Master  in  his  opinion  "that  mem- 
bers of  the  families  and  close  friends  of  our  brethren  could 
be  legally  invited  to  witness  the  installation  of  the  officers 
of  Masonic  Lodges  in  Kentucky." 

A  business  man,  held  generally  in  high  regard,  was 
about  to  petition  one  of  the  Lodges  for  admission  when  it 
became  known  that,  as  a  sideline,  he  was  co-holder  of  a 
malt  beverage  license  and  sometimes  served  beer  to  customers. 
The  Grand  Master  ruled  that  the  Lodge  would  be  in  error 
in  receiving  this  man's  petition! 


LOUISIANA— 1960 

149th  Annual  Communication — February  8-9 

Grand  Master,  1959-60 — M.W.  Bro.  John  F.  Hartman 
Grand  Master,  1960-61— M.W.  Bro.  Frank  Brown 

Lodges,  272.  Membership,  50,982.  Gain,  389. 

The  Grand  Master  reported  that,  though  the  Fraternity 
in  the  State  is  in  a  healthy  and  prosperous  condition  and 
though  there  had  been  a  slight  increase  in  membership 
more  enthusiasm  is  required,  on  the  part  of  the  member- 
ship, to  attract  the  younger  men  to  seek  admission  to  the 
Order.  Television,  he  suggested,  is  a  great  counter-attraction. 


26  GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA 

Committees  for  the  investigation  of  applicants  are  not,  in 
some  instances,  performing  their  duties  in  a  satisfactory 
manner.  Lodge  attendance  had  not  been  good  during  the 
year  but  he  suggested  that  the  brethren  are  eager  for  in- 
struction and  enlightenment  in  the  symbolism,  landmarks, 
history,  allegories,  activities,  and  philosophy  of  Masonry. 
The  educational  committee,  he  said,  had  been  active  in  the 
performance  of  its  duties  and  had  laid  stress  on  the  merits 
of  the  public  school  system;  but  "many  of  the  officers  and 
brethren  do  not  realize  or  appreciate  the  importance  of  the 
work  of  the  Grand  Lecturers."  Grand  Lodge  operates  a 
Masonic  cemetery  which  is  a  real  financial  problem. 

In  the  opinion  of  the  Grand  Master,  most  of  the  Lodges 
are  in  profound  need  of  special  help  and  instruction  in  areas 
other  than  ritualistic  and  general  Masonic  Education  is 
badly  needed.  The  Committee  on  Jurisdiction  toyed  with  the 
idea  of  establishing  a  constituent  Lodge  in  Thailand  but 
recommended  no  action  at  this  session,  recommending  further 
that  a  study  be  made  with  a  view  to  modifying  the  Con- 
stitution to  allow  for  "the  establishment  of  Lodges  in  open 
territory  outside  the  State  of  Louisiana." 

The  Board  of  Directors  of  the  Masonic  Educational 
Foundation  reported  that,  in  the  past  28  years,  aid  has  been 
extended  to  one  hundred  students.  During  the  past  year,  22 
students  were  assisted  to  the  extent  of  $7,560.  The  Found- 
ation takes  pride  in  the  fact  that  most  of  these  young 
people,  who  have  been  helped  during  the  years,  are  now 
useful,  intelligent,  industrious,  and  successful  citizens1.  (This 
is  an  excellent  service.) 

The  Committee  on  Audit  recommended  study  of  the 
possibility  of  publishing  a  magazine  or  booklet  for  the 
information  of  the  brethren  and  suggested  that  consideration 
be  given  to  the  appointment  of  a  Director  of  Public  Relations 
and  Publicity.  (This  seems  to  be  an  innovation — .the  first 
we  have  heard  of.) 

Quite  properly,  the  Committee  on  History  emphasizes 
the  importance  of  keeping  lodge  records  and  of  giving 
attention  to  the  current  events  taking  place  every  day  and 
every  month. 

MAINE— 1959 

140th  Annual  Communication — May  5-7 
Grand  Master,  1958-59— M.W.  Bro.  J.  M.  Littlefiedd 

Lodges,   208.  Membership,  47,964.  Gain,  70. 

M.W.  Bro.  Ralph  J.  Pollard,  one  of  the  pillars  of  the 
Craft  in  Maine,  says;  "Freemasonry,  the  oldest  and  largest 


FRATERNAL  CORRESPONDENCE  27 

of  all  fraternal  organizations  is  certainly  in  no  decline.  Its 
membership  is  now  at  an  all-time  high  and  it  still  counts 
among  its  members  many  of  the  most  distinguished  and 
influential  men  of  our  day."  In  reviewing  our  Proceedings 
his  comments  include  kind  commendation  of  the  Reviews 
written  by  the  late  M.W.  Bro.  Nelson  C.  Hart.  The  Chair- 
man of  our  Committee  on  Masonic  Education  would  be 
interested   in  a  detailed  description  of  the   "Pollard  Plan." 

Only  186  Lodges  were  represented  at  this  Communication. 
Although  218  Lodges  are  reported  as  "enrolled",  ten  of 
them  are  "extinct."  One  Lodge  with  a  membership  of  94 
shows  the  Largest  average  attendance  for  the  year,  64; 
while  another  with  a  membership  of  871  had  an  average  of 
only  63.  The  Grand  Master  said,  "It  is  always  gratifying 
to  report  gains  in  membership  but  Freemasonry  in  Maine  is 
not  necessarily  dependent  upon  large  numbers"  Many  Lodges 
have  increased  their  annual  dues  to  cover  increasing  costs. 
Attendance  at  the  Grand  Lecturer's  schools  has  been  excel- 
lent and,  as  a  result,  the  ritualistic  work  of  the  Lodges  has 
improved  considerably. 

The  Grand  Master  directed  that  the  use  of  the  Pollard 
Plan  is  definitely  required  of  all  Lodges;  some  Lodges  had 
overlooked  this  requirement.  Extensive  distribution  has 
been  given  throughout  the  country  to  a  scholarly  address, 
entitled  "What  should  a  Mason  know  about  Masonry"  by 
M.W.  Bro.  Pollard. 

The  Grand  Master  heard  that  lotteries  and  games  of 
chance  were  being  conducted  in  Masonic  buildings  or  by 
members  of  the  Craft  for  the  purpose  of  raising  money  for 
so-called  Masonic  projects.  He  immediately  reminded  his 
brethren  that,  for  more  than  a  century,  the  Grand  Lodge  of 
Maine  has  prohibited  such  gambling  and  that  this  violation 
must  cease  at  once.  Every  Lodge  received  a  letter  to  this 
effect.  With  this  prompt  and  definite  action  we  would  all 
agree  and  tender  our  congratulations  to  the  Grand  Master. 

Requests  for  dispensations  to  anticipate  lack  of  quorum 
at  annual  meetings  were,  quite  properly,  refused.  There 
were  persistent  rumours  that  certain  Lodges,  when  conferring 
degrees,  were  providing  entertainment  (?)  for  the  brethren 
at  the  expense  and  humiliation  of  the  candidate.  These 
Lodges  were  admonished  and  were  told  that  "at  a  time  when 
the  teachings  which  characterize  Freemasonry  are  so  desper- 
ately needed  by  a  troubled  and  confused  world,  we  can  ill 
afford  to  relax  our  efforts  in  indelibly  impressing  upon  the 
hearts  of  our  brethren  the  dignity  and  high  importance  of 
these  truths."  The  Grand  Lecturer  went  on  to  say  that 
horse-play  and  hilarity  "debase  the  dignity  of  the  Order 
and  cast  a  dark  shadow  over  the  future." 


28  GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA 

The  Committee  on  Masonic  Education  has  plans  for  an 
active  year  and  has  undertaken  "to  strive  to  arrangja 
educational  programmes  with  the  expectation  of  small  begin-

that  slow   growth   makes  for  permanence. 


MANITOBA— 1959 

84th  Annual  Communication — June  1959 

Grand  Master,  1958-59— M.W.  Bro.  W.  A.  Prugh 
Grand  Master,  1959-60— M.W.  Bro.  W.  D.  G.  Runions 

Lodges,   119.  Membership,   16,346.  Gain,   105. 

A  situation  which  causes  a  great  deal  of  concern  almost 
everywhere  was  mentioned  in  the  Report  of  the  Board  of 
General  Purposes  in  this  way,  "General  discussion  centred 
on  the  lack  of  knowledge  apparent  among  the  membership 
regarding  the  affairs  of  Grand  Lodge."  The  Grand  Secretary 
called  attention  to  the  considerable  cost  of  printing  the 
Fraternal  Reviews  even  though  they  had  been  drastically 
reduced  in  size. 

The  Committee  on  Masonic  Education  outlined  a  plan  to 
encourage  Masters  to  make  full  use  of  the  Mentor  Plan;  to 
have  papers  prepared  by  brethren;  to  enable  the  Director 
of  Masonic  Education  to  come  into  personal  contact  with 
the  Lodges;  and  to  encourage  Masters  to  give  their  mem- 
bers information,  at  lodge  meetings,  of  the  various  functions 
and  operations  of  Grand  Lodge  and  of  Masonry  in  Manitoba. 

A  telegram  was  sent  by  the  Grand  Secretary,  offering 
financial  assistance  to  the  officers  and  members  of  Laurel 
Lodge  No.  70  in  the  Springhill  Mines  disaster.  The  reply 
indicated  that  no   assistance   was   required  at  the  moment. 

In  one  meeting  of  the  Board,  there  was  a  good  deal  of 
discussion  regarding  the  desirabilitv,  perhaps  the  necessity, 
of  negotiating  for  the  removal  of  the  word  "Masonic"  from 
the  sign  outside  the  Chinese  Lodere  Hall  and  from  the 
proposed  name,  "Masonic  Garden",  in  the  Evergreen  Mem- 
orial  Gardens  at  Portage  la  Prairie. 

The  Masonic  Relief  Association  of  the  United  States  and 
Canada  was  interested  to  know  how  Manitoba  could  operate 
without  a  Board  of  Relief:  an  outline  was  sent  showing 
Manitoba's   procedure  in  handling  Benevolence. 

During  1958  the  net  gain  in  membership  of  the  Lodges 
in  Winnipeg  was  108  whereas  the  Lodges  outside  the  city 
had  a  net  decrease  of  3.     There  are  39  Lodges  that  charge 


FRATERNAL  CORRESPONDENCE  29 

$10.00  animal  dues;   29  charge  $12.00;   3  charge  $6.00;   and 
the  amount  varies  from  that  low  point  to  $20.00  in  one  case. 

The  Committee  on  External  Relations  reported,  in  part, 
as  follows.  "On  investigating  the  circumstances  your  Com- 
ittee  is  of  the  opinion  that  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Mississippi 
acted  prematurely  and  under  misapprehension  of  the  facts." 

Rarely  could  one  read  a  more  interesting  historical  story 
than  that  presented  by  our  friend,  the  Grand  Historian,  M.W. 
Bro.  Wm.  Douglas.  Our  neighbouring  Grand  Lodge  is  to  be 
congratulated  on  its  excellent  standing. 


MARYLAND— 1959 

Semi-Annual  Communication — May  19 

173rd  Annual  Communication — November  17  -  18 

Grand  Master— M.W.  Bro.  A.  W.  Reed 

Lodges,   128.  Membership,  48,152.  Gain,   199. 

Between  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Maryland  and  our  Grand 
Lodge  the  most  cordial  fraternal  relations  have  existed  for 
many  years;  inter- visiting  has  been  constant.  Our  Com- 
munications would  not  seem  right  without  the  presence  of 
R.W.  Bro.  Claud  Shaffer  who  will  still  visit  us,  we  hope, 
as  Grand  Secretary  Emeritus.  Last  November  our  Grand 
Master  was  a  guest  at  Maryland  and  delivered  a  brief  but 
impressive  address.  Our  Grand  Secretary,  the  best-known 
Canadian  Mason  in  North  America,  was,  on  this  occasion,  as 
always,  our  ambassador  of  goodwill  who  fraternized1  most 
acceptably  with  all. 

First  of  all,  one  notices,  in  reading  the  Proceedings, 
that  the  Committee  on  Ritualistic  Work  consists  of  an  English 
language  section  and  a  German  language  section ;  and  there  is 
a  Committee  to  examine  the  Masters  of  the  Lodges  in  Masonic 
Law.  It  warms  one's  heart  to  read  that  the  Masonic  Homes 
are  located  at  Bonnie  Blink — a  good  name!  Some  Scot  must 
have  named  it. 

The  increase  in  membership  was  slightly  lower  in  the 
first  half  of  1959  than  it  was  in  1958.  The  Grand  Master 
was  concerned  about  the  dwindling  of  applicants  in  the  city 
Lodges  which  were  suffering  for  the  want  of  work  though 
the  county  Lodges  were  doing  reasonably  well.  A  good  deal 
of  attention  was  given  to  the  Blood  Donor  Service. 

The  Grand  Lecturer  conducts  a  Summer  School  which  is 
growing  "larger  and  better  and  better."  This  seems  to  be 
an  admirable  system  of  instruction. 


30  GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA 

Here  is  something  unusual.  The  Grand  Master  described 
this  unusual  event  in  this  way.  "Saturday,  October  24th,  the 
Masons  of  Maryland  gathered  together  at  Bonnie  Blink  for 
our  annual  Corn  Husking.  The  loyalty,  courage,  and  truly 
Masonic  spirit  were  demonstrated  by  their  attendance,  5,000 
strong,  in  spite  of  the  inclemency  of  the  weather.  They  came 
to  show  that  the  Masons  of  Maryland  act  as  well  as  talk 
good  Masonry."  We  congratulate  our  friend,  Past  Grand 
Master  Harry  L.  Huether,  initiator  of  this  programme,  on 
his  recovery  from  a  severe  illness. 

Lectures  are  given  in  the  Museum  which  attracts  many 
visitors  and  there  is  a  Committee  on  Masonic  History. 

Masonry  in  Maryland  is  fortunate  in  the  buoyant  spirit 
and  the  optimism  of  its  leaders. 


MASSACHUSETTS— 1958 

Quarterly  Communications,  Mar.  12,  June  11,  Sept.  10,  Dec.  10 

Grand  Master — M.W.  Bro.  Andrew  G.  Jenkins 
Grand  Secretary — R.W.  Bro.  Earl  W.  Taylor 

Lodges,  332  (2  U.D.)        Membership,  134,200.        Gain,  1,213. 

There  are  fifteen  additional  "foreign"  Lodges,  several 
of  which  are  classed  as  Canal  Zone  and  Isthmian  Lodges. 
The  Proceedings  begin  with  reports  on  four  Special  Oom- 
muications  held  in  the  Canal  Zone.  Quarterly  Communic- 
ations are  scheduled  for  March,  June,  September  and  Dec- 
ember and  a  Stated  Communication  on  December  29.  The 
latter  was  attended  by  M.W.  Bro.  Martyn  and  R.W.  Bro. 
Dixon  of  Canada. 

Among  the  Special  Communications  there  were  two  for 
constituting  new  Lodges,  one  to  celebrate  the  One  Hundredth 
Anniversary  of  Henry  Price  Lodge,  one  to  dedicate  a 
Masonic  Temple,  and  one  to  celebrate  the  225th  anniversary 
of  Saint  John's  Lodge  in  Boston.  Brief  histories  of  these 
Lodges  and  of  others  similarly  recognized  are  in  the  Pro- 
ceedings. 

At  each  quarterly,  reports  were  submitted  on  many 
brethren  who  had  jojined  the  Celestial  Lodge  Above.  These 
included  the  late  M.W.  Bro.  Melvin  Maynard  Johnson,  well- 
known  at  and  a  frequent  visitor  to  many  Canadian  Masonic 
Bodies. 

At  the  June  Quarterly  the  Committee  on  Foreign  Relat- 
ions, under  the  chairmanship  of  M.W.  Bro.  Thomas  S.  Roy, 
recommended  recognition  of  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Japan  and 
of  the  Dominican  Republic. 


FRATERNAL  CORRESPONDENCE  31 

There  is  a  comprehensive  report  on  Masonic  Relief  for 
the  year  ended  August  31st,  1958.  Grand  Lodge  expended 
$7,976.76  and  Constituent  Lodges  $87,140.36,  thus  extending 
assistance  to  1,228  individuals  and  447  families.  This  was 
in  addition  to  the  support  coming  from  and  through  the 
Masonic  Home.  The  per  capita  cost  for  the  year  was  $2,222.08 
in  the  Home  and  $4,489.03  for  those  requiring  hospitalization. 
Total  residents  in  the  Home  were  102  with  an  average  age 
of  84  years,  1  month.  At  'the  September  Communication  a 
budget  of  $781,353.  in  receipts'  and  $778,584.  in  expendi- 
tures was  approved. 

At  the  December  meeting  the  Director  of  Education  re- 
ported a  successful  year  of  Instruction,  the  total  attendance 
being  34,583. 

M.W.  Bro.  Andrew  G.  Jenkins  was  installed  as  Grand 
Master  for  another  term.  In  Massachusetts  the  Grand 
Masters  usually  serve  for  three  years. 

Among  the  guests  who  brought  greetings  were  M.W.  Bro. 
Harry  L.  Martyn  of  Canada,  and  R.W.  Bro.  (Dr.)  Richard 
A.  Kern,  P.G.M.  of  Pennsylvania.  He  suggested  that  as  a 
title  for  his  remarks  it  might  be  proper  to  name  them  "Role 
of  Freemasonry  and  the  Responsibilities  of  Freemasons  in 
a  Changing  World."    He  closed  his  address  with  these  words. 

"Let  us  meet  the  challenge  of  our  times  as  Rupert 
Brooks  did  his  when  he  sang  'Now  God  be  thanked  who) 
matched  us  with  His  hour.'  "

MEXICO  (YORK)— 1959

Lodges,  9.  Membership,  649.  Gain,  15. 

This  Grand  Lodge  has  a  long  history  and  has  not  always 
borne  the  same  name,  which  accounts  for  the  unusual  number- 
ing of  this  Communication.  Since  1911,  there  has  been 
harmony  under  the  Ancient  Landmarks  of  the  Craft,  follow- 
ing, in  general,  the  laws  and  customs  of  the  Grand  Lodges 
of  the  United  States.  It  is  now  recognized  by  England, 
Scotland,  Ireland,  most  of  the  Canadian  Grand  Lodges,  and 
all  those  of  the  United'  States.  English  is  the  official 
language.  "While  sojourning  in  Mexico,  visitors  from  Grand 
Lodges  of  the  United  States  and  the  British  Commonwealth  of 


32  GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA 

Nations  will   find  Masonry  as   they   know   it,    in   the    con- 
stituent Lodges  working  under  this  Grand  Jurisdiction." 

During  the  year  the  Grand  Master  was  obliged  to  lift 
the  charter  of  one  Lodge  because  lack  of  resident  member- 
ship precluded  the  possibility  of  regular  functioning  of  the 
Lodge.  For  two  years  every  effort  was  made  to  keep  the 
Lodge  going  and,  when  the  final  decision  was  made,  ail 
reports  and  returns  were  turned  in  and  found  to  be  in 
perfect  order.  Three  Lodges  have  over  one  hundred  members 
each.    A  new  Lodge  is  in  process  of  formation. 

A  good  deal  of  attention  has  been  paid  to  Masonic 
Education  and  plans  have  been  made  for  intensive  work  in 
Masonic  history  and  philosophy.  In  order  to  avoid  further 
confusion  it  was  decided  that  the  Centennial  Celebration  be 
held  in  1965  and  that  collection  of  funds  for  this  purpose  be 
commenced  at  once.  One  change  which  mystifies  the  present 
Reviewer  is  the  increase  of  the  per  capita  tax  to  $50.00 
(Fifty  Pesos  Mex.  Cy.)  per  annum.  Surely  this  must  be  a 
payment  by  each  Lodge,  not  by  each  member! 

Freemasons  carrying  on  under  the  most  difficult  circum- 
stances, few  in  numbers,  working  amid  a  population  which 
does  not  understand  Masonry  or  its  principles,  are  surely 
entitled  to  our  admiration  and  respect  in  large  measure. 
Long  may  they  flourish! 


MICHIGAN— 1959 

133rd  Annual  Communication — May  26  -  27 

Grand  Master,   1958-59— M.W.  Bro.  J.  L.  Hunter 
Grand  Master,  1959-60— M.W.  Bro.  R.  P.  Sackett 

Lodges,  535.  Membership,  176,383.  Loss,  111. 

The  Grand  Lodge  of  Michigan  is  our  neighbour  and  our 
elder  brother  which,  as  our  Grand  Master  of  a  year  ago, 
M.W.  Bro.  H.  L.  Martyn,  reminded  his  audience,  came  to  our 
assistance  over  a  hundred  years  ago,  when  we  badly  needed 
some  kindly  help.  It  is  a  pleasure  to  see,  in  the  list  of 
Grand  Lodge  Officers,  the  names  of  several  of  the  Masonic 
stalwarts  we  knew  in  the  late  thirties.  Long  may  the  in- 
timate relationship  continue. 

Most  interesting  it  is  to  read  of  an  incident  which 
proved,  if  proof  were  needed,  that  money  cannot  buy  domin- 
ation of  the  Masonic  Order  nor  of  any  Grand  Lodge.  In  the 
Masonic  Home  of  which  the  brethren  are  justly  proud,  there 
are  almost  290  residents  and  the  Grand  Master  stated  that, 
in  his  opinion,  there  was  no  need  for  additional  construction 


FRATERNAL  CORRESPONDENCE  33 

within  the  next  five  or  ten  years.  But  a  wealthy  Foundation 
offered  Grand  Lodge  a  gift  of  $100,000  with  a  strong  "string" 
attached  to  the  effect  that,  if  construction  of  an  addition 
was  not  begun  within  two  years,  the  money  must  be  returned 
to  the  donors.  A  32-bed  addition  was  erected  and  put  into 
use  but  the  donors  wrote  that  the  gift  was  conditional  on 
an  84-bed  addition  being  built.  The  Grand  Master  recom- 
mended and,  after  much  discussion,  Grand  Lodge  agreed  that 
the  $100,000  be  returned  to  the  donors.  ("It  is  not  within 
the  power  of  any  man  or  body  of  men"  to  veto  a  decision 
made  by  a  Grand  Lodge!) 

The  Grand  Master  was  obliged  to  discipline  several 
Lodges  by  "placing  them  in  darkness"  (a  new  expression  to 
us)  for  a  time  on  account  of  violations  of  State  and  Masonic 
laws  regarding  gambling,  raffles,  and  bingo.  The  excuse 
that  other  organizations  flout  the  laws  and  are  not  penal- 
ized was  not  accepted  by  the  Grand  Master. 

Drastic  action  was  taken  against  roughness  in  conferring 
the  degrees  which  seems  to  be  increasingly  prevalent  in 
some  Lodges.  "The  officers  and  members  of  any  Lodge  who 
take  part  in,  or  even  condone,  the  improper  portrayal  of  the 
beautiful  drama  which  is  so  much  a  part  of  our  fraternal 
life,  should  take  a  fresh  look  at  their  assumed  obligations", 
said  the  Grand  Master. 

An  amendment  to  the  Code  prohibits  a  member  or  a 
Lodge  from  communicating  directly  with  a  Lodge  or  a 
Grand  Lodge  of  any  other  Jurisdiction  except  through  the 
Grand  Secretary.     (That  sounds  perfectly  reasonable.) 

The  Masonic  Service  and  Education  Committee  reported 
that  the  Speakers'  Bureau  had  fulfilled  all  requests.  Though 
the  Committee  realizes  that  much  is  yet  to  be  done,  it  is 
pressing  forwai'd  towards  its  mission  which  is  "that  of 
getting  Masonic  information  into  the  heads  of  the  interested 
brother  who  sits  on  the  sidelines." 

The  Eastern  Star  provided  and  endowed  a  beauty  parlour 
for  the  Masonic  Home,  the  average  age  of  the  residents  being 
79  years. 

The  first  volume  of  "The  History  of  Freemasonry  in 
Michigan"  is  ready  for  the  printer.

and  the  other  to  dedicate  the  Minnesota  Masonic  Memorial 
Cancer  Hospital  at  the  University  of  Minnesota  in  Minne- 
apolis. This  Hospital  for  cancer  patients  was-  presented, 
through  the  University,  to  the  service  of  all  in  need  regard- 
less of  race,  creed,  or  colour,  by  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Min- 
nesota. Approximately  a  million  dollars  was1  raised  for  the 
establishment  of  this  Hospital.  Benevolence  is  a  most 
important  project  of  this  Grand  Lodge. 

The  Grand  Master  pointed  out  that  Grand  Lodge  is 
sound  financially  and  its  funds1  are  conservatively  yet  profit- 
ably invested.  The  largest  number  of  requests  by  Lodges, 
'he  said,  is  for  authority  to  increase  fees  and  dues.  The 
Masonic  Home  is  well  supported. 

The  Grand  Master  also  said,  "In  view  of  population 
trends  and  our  own  membership  trend  I  leave  you  to  judge 
the  effectiveness  of  your  life  and  mine,  of  your  Lodge  and 
mine,  in  influencing  the  worthy  to  seek  our  portals."  He 
went  on  to  say  that  the  fundamental  principles  on  whichi 
his  country  was  founded  are:  freedom  of  thought  and  speech, 
free  public  schools,  and  complete  separation  of  Church  and 
State.  He  recommended,  and  this  was  approved,  that  build- 
ings dedicated  to  Freemasonry  be  used,  when  desirable,  by 
other  organizations. 

The  Committee  on  Masonic  Education  had  not  been 
active  "to  any  extent"  other  than  to  participate  in  the  Mid- 
West  Conference.  "However,  much  thought  and  consider- 
ation have  been  given  to  a  future  effective  forceful  pro- 
gramme." 

The  strongest  possible  resolution  was  adopted,  providing- 
that  any  Mason  shall  be  subject  to  Masonic  discipline  if  he 
uses  the  words,  "Mason",  "Masonic"  or  "Freemason"  or 
any  Masonic  emblem,  insignia,  jewel  or  pin,  when  seeking 
public  office,  advertising  his  business,  etc.  etc. 

The  Grand  Lodge  of  Minnesota  is  carefully  managed  and 
well  operated.

FRATERNAL  CORRESPONDENCE  35 

three  constituent  Lodges  qualified  under  this  arrangement. 
The  Grand  Lecturer  conducted  two  schools  of  instruction 
which  were  attended  by  enthusiastic  brethren  but  he  saw 
evidence  of  complacency  in  some  Lodges. 

The  Jurisprudence  Committee  had  several  cases  to  deal 
with.  One  Lodge  asked  for  leniency  for  a  member  who  had 
been  put  on  probation  and  fined  but  the  Committee's  reply 
was,  "Any  violation  of  the  law  of  the  land  is  a  Masonic. 
offence".  Another  question  was  whether  a  bootlegger,  under 
suspension  for  N.P.D.,  could  be  tried  by  his  Lodge  aft}er 
being  arrested  and  convicted.  The  answer  was  definitely  in 
the  affirmative.  A  third  query  was  whether  a  lawyer  repre- 
senting a  Mason  under  a  Masonic  charge  could  be  admitted 
to  the  Lodge  if  he,  the  lawyer,  is  not  a  member  of  the  Craft; 
the  answer  was  in  the  negative. 

The  Grand  Treasurer  reported  total  securities  of  well 
over  a  million  dollars.  The  Fraternal  Correspondent  quotes 
a  ruling  made  in  1957  which  has  "drawn  fire  all  over  the 
nation".  This  is  it,  "It  is  the  prerogative  of  every  Master 
Mason  in  good  standing  to  display  the  Masonic  emblem  on 
either  his  person  or  property."  His  comment  it  that  this 
goes  beyond  the  limits  of  good  taste  and  we  heartily  agree; 
definitely,  the  emblem  should  not  be  used  to  attract  business. 
"Many  Grand  Lodges  are  disturbed",  he  says,  "by  the  ever- 
increasing  number  of  clubs  and  organizations  basing  their 
membership  upon  Masonic  connections  which  seek  permission 
to  operate  within  the  jurisdiction  of  Grand  Lodge.  Most 
Grand  Masters  are  frank  to  say  that  the  Masonic  tree  is 
fact  becoming  top-heavy  with  such  groups  and  are  urging 
their  members  to  turn  their  energies  more  to  blue  lodge  work 
rather  than  these  divergent  groups."  Another  significant 
statement  in  this  report  is,  "The  problem  of  education  of 
newly  raised  Master  Masons  continues  to  plague  the  leaders 
of  the  Craft  everywhere." 

The  Fraternal  Correspondent  recommends  terminating 
relations  with  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Nova  Scotia  because  it 
has  "agreed  to  allow  the  subordinate  Lodges  to  accept 
applications  for  membership  from  the  infringing  Prince 
Hall  group."  He  also  recommends  withdrawal  of  recognition 
from  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Syria  and  Lebanon  which  has 
women's  lodges  as  well  as  men's'  lodges  and  encourages  inter- 
visitation. 

A  total  of  $30,216  was  paid  to  beneficiaries  during  the 
year,  the  share  paid  by  the  local  Lodges  being  $14,053. 
This  is,  of  course,  only  one  phase  of  the  benevolence  of  Grand 
Lodge,  there  being  a  well-managed  Masonic  Home  in  which 
are  22  boys  and  21  girls,  an  increase  of  14  over  the  previous 
year  and  an  educational  fund  for  maintaining  college 
students  of   whom   eight  are   being   assisted   to   the   extent 


36  GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA 

of  $2,708.  A  committee  is  investigating  the  possibility  of 
giving  scholarships  to  sons  and  daughters  of  Masons  in 
Junior   colleges.

In  his  Address,  the  Grand  Master  said,  "It  is  my  sincere 
feeling  that  the  spirit  and  the  condition  of  Freemasonry  in 
Missouri  are  good.  Time  enough,  we  again  show*  a  small 
reduction  in  our  total  membership,  approximately  the  same 
as  the  nrsceding  year's  loss.  .  .  .  Despite  the  fact  that  in 
some  other  States  losses  are  much  larger,  we  must  not  be 
complacent  about  our  reduction  in  membership."  Steps  were 
being  taken,  he  said,  "to  counteract  the  conditions  which  seem 
to  be  responsible  for  these  losses." 

He  deplored  the  unfortunate  conflict  between  brethren 
from  the  rural  areas  of  the  State  and  those  of  the  large 
city  Lodges  which,  he  found,  "parallels  certain  conflict  which 
exists  in  the  political  life  of  this  State  between  the  cities 
and  the  country."  He  reminded  all  "that  we  are  bound  by 
obligation  to  constitute  one  brotherhood."  .  .  .  "We  need  all 
in  order  to  stay  strong." 

Grand  Lodge  laid,  with  impressive  ceremony,  fifteen 
corner-stones,  10  schools,  a  church,  a  Masonic  Temple,  an 
historical  marker,  a  federal  building,  and  a  nursing  home. 
Travelling  in  all,  about  31.000  miles,  the  Grand  Master  made 
a  remarkable  number  of  visitations. 

Grand  Lodge  publishes  an  official  quarterly  magazine, 
"The  Freemason"  which  the  Committee  on  Masonic  Education 
uses  as  its  most  useful  medium  for  communication.  Though 
any  brother  may  have  this  magazine  sent  to  him,  without 
cost,  if  he  asks  for  it,  the  subscription  list  has  never  exceeded 
ten  per  cent  of  the  membership.  The  Committee  on  Masonic 
Education  is  giving  serious  consideration  to  other  aspects 
of  the  work. 

"Perhaps  the  most  regrettable  matter  which  developed 
during-  the  vear  was  the  effort  on  the  part  of  the  Grand 
Lecturer  to  develop  a  fixed  ritual  for  balloting.  To  my  mind 
this  was  a  gross  waste  of  time,  neither  necessary  or  wise," 
said  the  Grand  Master.  However,  the  Committee  on  Ritual 
proposed  to  ask  all  Lodges  for  opinions  on  this. 


FRATERNAL  CORRESPONDENCE  37 

Candidates'  booklets  are  not  in  great  demand,  there 
being  few  requests  for  them.  Attendance  of  officers  at  the 
schools  of  instruction  is  not  by  any  means  what  it  should  be. 

M.W.  Bro.  R.  V.  Denslow,  who  has  visited  our  Grand 
Lodge  occasionally  has  included  "The  History  of  the  Grand 
Lodge  of  Canada  in  the  Province  of  Ontario"  in  his  list  of 
recommended  books. 

The  historical  event  of  the  year  is  thus  described.  "The 
only  time  in  the  history  of  Freemasonry  that  a  president  or 
ex-president  of  the  United  States  ever  received  a  token  for 
fifty-year  .membership  was  on  May  18th,  1969,  in  the 
Ivanhoe  Masonic  Temple  in  Kansas  City,  Mo.,  when  Bro. 
Harrv  S.  Truman,  ex-president  and  Past  Grand  Master  of 
our  Grand  Lod°-e  was  presented  with  the  fifty-year  button  by 
Grand  Master  R.  L.  Aronson."

In  his  Address  the  Grand  Master  commended  highly  the 
services  of  the  Committee  on  Masonic  Education  and  suggest- 
ed that  his  successor  might  have  a  series  of  meeting's  with 
that  Committee  to  discuss  plans  for  the  teaching  of  history, 
charity,  tradition,  research,  and  the  good  moral  teachings  of 
Freemasonry.  He  had  attended  five  of  the  six  area  meetings 
held  during  his  year  and  only  a  March  blizzard  prevented 
his  visit  to  the  sixth  meeting. 

The  Grand  Master  ruled  that  a  petitioner  was  not 
eliHbV  for  admission  because  he  was  emr/loyed  in  a  brewery 
and  that  a  Fellow-Craft  must  be  expelled  because  he  had 
taken  a  position  with  a  wholesale  liquor  distributor.  To  us 
this  seems  inconsistent  if  some  or  all  of  the  members  of 
the  Lodge  are  occasional  consumers  of  the  product  of  the 
brewery.  One  of  the  largest  Masonic  functions  during  our 
year  was  the  occasion  of  the  initiation  of  the  respected 
manager  of  one  of  our  largest  hotels.  If  an  honest  man 
works  in  a  brewery  and  if  the  brewery  is  a  lawful  industry, 
how  dees  his  status  differ  from  that  of  another  honest  man 
who  works,  for  examole,  in  a  shoe  factorv?  However,  we  do 
net    criticize    Nebraska — other    laws,    other    customs! 

There  is  strong  recommendation  in  the  Address  for  the 
Grand   Custodian  and  his  assistants  who   are  making  good 


38  GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA 

progress,  tihe  Grand  Master  says,  in  improving  tihe 
quality  of  the  work  throughout  the  entire  state.  He  con- 
cludes by  stating  that,  in  his  opinion,  Freemasonry  in 
Nebraska  is  in  a  healthy  condition. 

One  Lodge  has  been  cited  to  appear  and  show  cause 
why  its  charter  should  not  be  forfeited.  Another  Lodge, 
after  due  and  proper  notices  to  all  its  29  members,  voted 
unanimously  to  surrender  its  charter.  743  brethren  are 
wearing  fifty-year  buttons  and  31  senior  brethren  were 
awarded  the  Jordan  Medal  during  the  year.  One  cannot 
be  quite  sure  what  is  meant  by  this  sentence.  "Thirty-one 
senior  brethren  who  were  proud  to  wear  the  likeness  of  our 
first  Grand  Master  have  laid  down  their  working  tools  for 
the  final  time." 

Schools  of  Instruction  are  popular  and  are  well  attended. 
Individual  brethren  and  Lodges  can  qualify  for  certification 
by  the  Grand  Custodian  and  138  Lodges  are  now  certified. 
This  is  most  commendable.  The  Grand  Custodian  says 
"Some  Lodges  which  do  'poor  to  terrible'  work  have  been 
that  way  for  a  long  time.  There  is  no  desire  to  change  for 
the  better."  On  the  other  hand,  the  great  majority  are  doing 
well. 

Obviously,  the  management  of  the  Grand  Lodge  of 
Nebraska  is  in  the  hands  of  competent  officers.

The  Eighty-sixth  Grand  Master  presided  over  the  Ninety- 
fifth  Annual  Communication  and  submitted  his  Annual 
Report  in  which  he  told  of  laying,  with  full  ceremony  eleven 
corner-stones  and  installing  the  officers  of  eleven  Lodges, — 
customs  no  longer  observed  in  our  country.  He  made  many 
visits  in  his  own  jurisdiction  and  elsewhere  and  personally 
presented  a  good  many  fifty-year  buttons.  On  his  proclam- 
ation Public  School  Week  was  proclaimed  in  October  and  all 
Lodges  were  instructed  "to  observe  the  same  with  a  suitable 
program."  On  the  ground  that  "no  change  can  be  made 
without  change  of  by-laws"  he  refused  two  requests  from 
Lodges  that  asked  to  be  allowed  to  postpone  a  regulair 
meeting  at  Christmas  time. 

A  special  committee  recommended  the  adoption  of  a 
system  of  "field  deputies"  or  "inspectors"  which  would  seem 


FRATERNAL  CORRESPONDENCE  39 

to  be  our  established  arrangement  for  District  Deputy  Grand 
Masters.  Provision  is  made  for  the  appointment,  in  every 
Lodge,  of  a  "Master  of  Instruction"  and  a  deputy  Master 
whose  duties  include  the  preparation  of  lodge  officers  for 
advancement. 

The  Grand  Orator,  Brother  George  T.  Myers,  delivered 
a  very  fine  address  on  Brotherhood,  one  which  must  have 
made  a  lasting  impression  on  those  who  listened  to  it.  Two 
impressive  services  were  held  during  the  session,  a  Memorial 
Service  and  the  Flag  Service.  There  seems  to  be  a  rather 
terrifying  multiplicity  of  societies  (for  men,  women,  boys 
and  girls)  all  good,  no  doubt,  but  claiming  not  only  to  be 
masonic  in  character  and  in  outlook  but  seeking,  in  many 
cases,  affiliation  with  Grand  Lodge.  This  is  a  situation  we 
have  avoided  in  Canada,  so  far,  and  let  us  hope  we  may  not 
encounter  these  problems  in  the  future. 

Freemasonry  is  flourishing  in  Nevada  with  a  corps  of 
active  officers  headed  by  Grand  Master  M.W.  Bro.  Royal 
D.  Crowell  who  handles  the  gavel  for  1959-60.

Lodges,  48.  Membership,  8,952.  Gain,  38. 

What  a  pleasure  it  is  to  read  the  Proceedings  of  this 
sturdy,  closely-knit  Grand  Lodge,  which  is  carrying  on  so 
magnificently  under  rather  difficult  circumstances.  To  this 
Reviewer  there  came  a  certain  type  of  nostalgia  as  he  saw 
in  the  list  of  officers  the  names  of  three  of  his  personal 
friends,  the  Grand  Secretary,  the  Grand  Historian,  and  the 
Chairman  of  the  Ritual  Committee.  It  was  fun  to  read 
(though  it  was  no  joke  at  the  time),  of  the  Grand  Master's 
visit  to  Manianook  Lodge,  with  thirty -five  members  of  Grand 
Lodge,  who  suffered  temporary  digestive  upsets  on  the 
stormy  passage  from  Grand  Manan  Island  after  the  meeting. 

Though  membership  figures  are  interesting,  too  much 
weight  should  not  be  given  them  because  it  is  quality  that 
counts  and  it  i9  interesting  to  note  that  this  year's  increase 
is  exactly  the  same  as  last  year's  decrease.  Unfortunately, 
the  casualty  list  was  high — 140  passed  to  the  Grand  Lodge 
Above  during  the  year. 

Our  Grand  Representative  is  R.W.  Bro.  Albert  C. 
Lemmon,  the  genial  and  efficient  Grand  Secretary,  who  has 
attended  our  Annual  Communications  regularly  even  before 
he  assumed  his  present  office. 


40  GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA 

On  the  evening  preceding  the  opening  of  Grand  Lodge 
a.  preparatory  meeting  was  held  when  there  was  animated 
discussion  on  such  topics  as  examination  of  visitors,  ballotting, 
reception  of  the  visiting  Grand  Master  and  other  high- 
ranking  official®,  Masonic  dress,  the  funeral  service,  and 
several  ritualistic  topics.  This  seems  an  excellent  means  of 
imparting  practical  Masonic  Education. 

Grand  Lodge  opened  with  a  most  impressive  Service  of 
Thanksgiving  which  included  an  inspiring  address  by  the 
Grand  Chaplain.  Then  followed  the  Grand  Master's  eloquent 
Address  in  which  he  referred  to  the  forthcoming  visit  of 
Her  Majesty  Queen  Elizabeth  II  and  Prince  Philip;  to  the 
loss  sustained  in  the  passing  of  so  many  brethren;  to  his 
appointments  and  his  visitations;  to  anniversaries;  and  to 
the  All-Canada  and  the  Washington  Conferences.  He  then 
concluded  this  general  survey  with  some  of  the  finest 
of  admonitions  regarding  the  attitude  of  Freemasonry  and 
of  Freemasons  to  Religion. 

There  are  seven  District  Deputy  Grand  Masters  whose 
concise  yet  comprehensive  reports  make  interesting  reading. 
Grand  Lodge  distributes  an  excellent  booklet  entitled  "More 
Light  on  Freemasonry." 

Having  presided  gracefully  over  the  Annual  Communic- 
ation of  Grand  Lodge  for  the  second  time  and  having  faith- 
fully completed  his  two-year  term  of  office,  M.W.  Bro. 
Somerville  handed  over  the  gavel  to  his  dulv  elected  and 
regularly  installed  successor,  M.W.  Bro.  Dr.  F.  C.  Thomas 
who  is  now  Grand  Master  of  the  Grand  Lodge  of  New 
Brunswick.

The  strong,  vigorous,  and  active  District  Grand  Master, 
who  has  held  that  position  since  1942,  spares  neither  time 
nor  energy  in  the  performance  of  the  duties  of  his  high 
and  important  office.  His  Annual  Report  is  really  a  diary, 
a  synopsis  of  his  labours  during  the  year.  Prior  to  1870 
Newfoundland  was  included  in  the  Masonic  Province  of 
Nova  Scotia  and  now  there  are  two  District  Grand  Lodges 
(English  and  Scottish).  The  Grand  Master  reminds  us  that, 
"in  mainland  Canada",  the  United  Grand  Lodge  of  England 
still  has  two  Lodges  in  Montreal,  St.  Paul's  and  St.  George's, 
as  well  as  Royal  Standard  Lodge  in  Halifax. 


FRATERNAL  CORRESPONDENCE  41 

During  the  summer  months,  May  to  October,  there  are 
conferences  in  different  parts  of  the  Province,  usually  in  the 
home  of  a  Mason,  and  these  are  attended  by  representatives 
of  three  or  four  Lodges.  Social  events  are  frequent  during 
the  summer  and  are  well  attended.  Indeed,  interest  seems 
to  be  particularly  well  maintained  and  inter-visitations  are 
popular.  By  the  way,  the  numbers  of  the  Lodges  are  strict^ 
ly  different  from  those  in  other  Provinces;  for  example, 
there  are  Avalon,  No.  776;  Botwood,  No.  3542;  St.  George's, 
No.  6739;  Gander,  No.  6860,  these  being  of  course  number? 
in  the  Grand  Lodge  of  England. 

The  District  Grand  Master  cabled  England  regarding 
the  wearing  of  Masonic  regalia  at  the  Church  Service  of 
June  29th  under  the  auspices  of  the  Royal  Arch  Chapter 
of  Noval  Scotia  but  the  Grand  Secretary's  reply  was  that 
this  could  not  be  approved.  After  nearly  a  year's  correspond- 
ence with  England  approval  was  not  obtained  for  the  practice 
of  remunerating  lodge  secretaries.  Accordingly,  all  Lodges 
were  notified  that  the  only  remuneration  a  lodge  secretary 
can  be  given  is  remission  of  his  annual  dues.  However,  in- 
cumbants  of  that  office  at  the.  time  the  ruling  was  passed 
may  continue  to  receive  remuneration  but,  with  the  appoint- 
ment of  new  secretaries,  the  practice  must  cease.  Yet  there 
are  several  large  Lodges  such  as  Avalon,  (349);  St.  John's, 
(243);  and  Corner  Brook,  (180).  In  the  city  of  St.  John's 
there  are  four  English  Lodges  and  two  Scottish  Lodges. 

Two  delegates  attended  the  Sixth  Biennial  Conference 
of  Canadian  Grand  and  District  Grand  Lodges  in  Montreal 
and  brought  back  an  interesting  account  of  the  proceedings. 
This  gathering  provided  a  significant  link  with  Freemasonry 
in  other  Provinces.  The  fact  that  amicable  relations  exist, 
and  will  eontinue  as  always,  between  the  two  District 
Grand  Lodges  in  Newfoundland  is  indicated  by  the  fact  that 
a  deputation  from  the  District  Grand  Lodge  of  Scotland 
was  warmly  welcomed  during  the  Communication. 

Most  gratifying  it  is  to  observe  the  great  emphasis 
placed  in  this  District  Grand  Lodge  on  the  practice  of 
benevolence.  It  is  a  pleasure  to  read  the  details  of  the 
contributions  to  the  fund.

-        The   Grand   Master  finds  an   alarming  situation  in  the 
fact  that  "the   Lodges    are   not  receiving  applications  from 


42  GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA 

as  many  of  their  potential  candidates  as  they  should  and 
that  too  large  a  proportion  of  members  are  fifty  years  of 
age  and  older.  Though  a  gain  of  twelve  is  gratifying  when 
there  was  a  loss  of  two  the  year  before,  it  is  not  good 
enough.  He  wonders1  when  the  men  of  to-day  lost  the  in- 
itiative of  our  forefathers  and  why  they  have  fallen  into  "a 
shell  of  complacency." 

Several  Lodges  asked,  during  the  year,  for  authority 
to  increase  the  annual  dues  and  the  Grand  Master  undertook 
to  recommend  that  the  per  capita  tax  be  $2.00  instead  of 
$1.50.  This  was  approved  by  Grand  Lodge.  "Even  with  this 
increase,"  said  the  Grand  Master,  "our  per  capita  tax  will 
be  among  the  smaLlest  in  the  country.  It  has  been  many 
years  since  we  have  had  an  increase  in  this  item  and,  in 
that  time,  prices  have  doubled." 

Stressing  the  need  for  benevolence,  the  Grand  Master 
said  that  he  has  been  "greatly  disappointed  at  the  apparent 
lack  of  the  appreciation,  among  our  members,  of  the  neces- 
sity for  Masonic  charity — one  of  our  oldest  traditions."  He 
was  most  insistent  regarding  the  necessity  for  promoting 
and  expanding  the  arrangements  for  Masonic  Education. 
The  committee  has  distributed  a  bulletin  of  information  and 
several  brochures  and  has  placed  in  public  libraries  several 
copies  of  "The  Builders."  Information  is  being  gathered  for 
a  book  to  be  entitled  "Masonic  Procedure,  Courtesy,  and 
Protocol." 

This  Grand  Lodge  looks  with  favour  upon  semi-public 
installations  of  lodge  officers  and  has  approved  an  amend- 
ment to  the  Constitution  which  makes  a  dispensation  un- 
necessary for  such  ceremonies. 

The  Grand  Secretary,  M.W.  Bro.  Harold  0.  Cody,  who 
has  visited  our  Grand  Lodge  and  whom  this  Reviewer 
regards  as  a  personal  friend,  has  written  a  remarkably  fine 
Foreword  to  the  Report  of  the  Fraternal  Correspondence 
Committee,  of  which  he  is  Chairman.  He  gives  us  158  pages 
of  the  most  interesting  Reviews  covering  the  activities  of  72 
Grand  Lodges,  including  9  Canadian.  He  writes,  "One  of  the 
most  disturbing  matters  has  arisen  between  two  Grand 
Jurisdictions  on  the  North  American  Continent  which  does 
not  help  our  present-day  unrest  but  adds  more  fuel  to  the 
fire."  Of  course  he  refers  to  the  action  of  Mississippi  to- 
ward Nova  Scotia.

During  the  year  there  were  four  Emergent  Communic- 
ations for  the  constituting  of  new  Lodges  and  four  for  laying 


FRATERNAL  CORRESPONDENCE  43 

cornerstones  of  Masonic  buildings.  Each  Lodge  pays  $3.00 
per  annum  for  the  Masonic  Home  and  Charity;  $1.00  for  the 
Grand  Lodge;  and  $1.50  for  each  Master  Mason  raised  during 
the  year. 

The  Grand  Master  had  good  reason  for  stating  in  his 
Address  that  the  year  had  been  a  most  successful  one.  He 
listed  some  topics  which  were  discussed  at  the  Annual 
Conference  of  Grand  Masters  in  Washington,  one  of  these 
being,  "Should  Freemasonry  actively  reply  to  anti-Masonic 
propoganda  based  on  misrepresentation  and  falsehood?" 
Apparently,  most  United  States  Grand  Lodges  follow 
England,  as  we  do,  in  ignoring  such  attacks. 

New  Jersey  has  undertaken  to  provide  a  medal  in  memory 
of  Daniel  Coxe  who  was  the  first  Provincial  Grand  Master 
in.  North  America  from  1730  to  1733.  This  medal  will  be 
awarded  to  Masons  who  have  served  with  distinction  either 
in  New  Jersey  or  in  other  Grand  Jurisdictions. 

It  has  been  recommended  and  approved  that  Lodges 
which  propose  to  erect  new  buildings  or  to  hold  real  property 
or  to  transfer  assets  to  other  organizations  must  notify 
every  member,  adopt  an  appropriate  resolution  and  obtain 
the  written  consent  of  the  Grand  Master.  This  seems  to  be 
a  wise  precaution. 

Masonic  Education  receives  a  good  deal  of  attention  and 
there  is  a  good  Library  and  a  Museum.  The  Committee  on 
Fraternal  Relations  has  read  and  has  written  Reviews  of 
seventy-five  Grand  Lodge  Proceedings.  The  hope  is  ex- 
pressed that  the  members  of  Grand  Lodge  will  enjoy  this 
record  of  world-wide  Masonic  activities.  The  Committee's 
report  goes  on  to  say  that  many  Grand  Lodges  are  taking 
a  greater  interest  in  the  public  schools;  that  many  are  con- 
sidering establishment  of  a  desired  proficiency  in  the  M.M. 
degree;  that  many  also  report  less  than  15  per  cent  attend- 
ance at  lodge;  that  one  Grand  Lodge  exempts  clergymen, 
fifty-year  Masons  and  mental  cases  from  payment  of  dues 
and  assessments;  and  that  "death  and  non-payment  of  dues 
have  sent  ten  Grand  Lodges  into  the  red,  two  by  a  very 
small  margin  and  one  up  into  the  thousands." 

There  was  a  proposal  that  Grand  Lodge  do  not  require 
the  annual  per  capita  assessment  from  any  Mason  who  is  75 
vears  of  age  or  older  and  has  oaid  dues  for  25  years  con- 
secutively. This  is  to  be  debated  at  the  forthcoming  Annual 
Communication. 

The  Grand  Master  was  most  active  in  visitations,  almost 
incredibly  active.  It  has  been  a  pleasure  to  read  New 
Jersey's  Proceedings.

The  Grand  Master's  Address  is  filled  with  information 
regarding  his  own  activities  and  those  of  officials  and  com- 
mittees. His  Board  of  Directors  was  consulted  regarding 
financing  and  re-modelling  of  lodge  premises  and  approved 
a  loan  of  $8,000.  to  one  of  the  Lodges.  He  granted  four 
dispensations  for  meetings  to  be  held  away  from  the  regular 
lodge  room  and  five  dispensations  to  initiate  and  pass  more 
than  five  candidates  in  one  day.  He  authorized  renting  a 
lodge  room  for  one  meeting  to  the  Knights  of  Pythias;  de- 
clined a  request  that  a  study  club,  formed  by  a  group  of 
Masons,  be  sponsored  by  a  Lodge;  and  in  reply  to  a  query, 
whether  fifty-year  pins  could  be  presented  to  brethren  who 
had  continuous  membership  of  29  years  to  55  years  in  other 
jurisdictions,  stated  that  the  Lodge  might  honour  its  mem- 
bers in  any  "way  it  wished  to  do  so.  But  he  refused,  quite 
properly  and  naturally,  to  authorize  use  of  a  lodge  room 
for  fund-raising  meetings. 

Among  nine  recommendations  made  in  the  Address,  some 
of  which  were  approved  and  some  were  not,  was  one  to  the 
effect  that  "the  issuance  of  life  memberships  be  discontinued 
entirely."  This  was  not  to  be  retroactive  and  was  not  to 
interfere  with  purchased  life  memberships — but  this  recom- 
mendation was  not  approved. 

The  Grand  Lecturer  reported  that  interest  in  the  ritual 
was,  in  general,  very  good  but  the  lack  of  enthusiasm  in  a 
few  Lodges  was  rather  disappointing.  The  highest  fee  (for 
degrees)  charged  is  $152.00;  the  lowest  less  than  $55.00. 
Annual  dues  range  from  $6.00  to  $20.90. 

The  Committee  on  Masonic  Educational  Service  made  an 
exhaustive  study  of  suitable  material  and  proposed  to  issue 
a  bulletin  outlining  suggestions  for  lodee  programs  with 
listing  of  films  and  special  lodge  talks.  There  is  a  travelling 
library  and  a  revolving  student  loan  fund. 

There  are  two  serious  problems  puzzling  New  Mexico  and 
many  other  Grand  Lodges  these  days.  The  first  is  that 
Masonry  is  not  attracting  as  many  citizens  in  the  professions 
and  in  public  life  as  was  the  case  years  ago.  What  is  the 
answer?  The  second  is  poor  attendance.  In  the  Report  on 
Foreign  Correspondence  one  Past  Grand  Master  aptly  says, 
"If  officers  com/plain  of  poor  attendance,  let  them  look  in  a 


FRATERNAL  CORRESPONDENCE  45 

mirror  and  see  the  cause."  How  true!  There  are  some 
interesting  comments  on  the  failure  of  Past  Masters  to  attend 
and  to  assume  the  responsibility  that  is  theirs;  that  is,  to 
encourage  and  not  to  criticise. 


NEW  SOUTH  WALES— 1959 

71st  Annual  Report  of  two  Special  and  four  Quarterly 
Communications — 1958  and  1959 

Grand  Master— M.W.  Rro.  T.  L.  Warren 

Lodges,   879.  Membership,   135,126.  Gain,   65. 

The  Foreign  Correspondence  Report  for  1958  is  one 
of  the  most  interesting  we  have  read.  It  breathes  an 
atmosphere  of  amity,  goodwill,  peace  and  harmony  through- 
out the  Masonic  world.  Our  Proceedings  are  reviewed  in  a 
most  kindly  manner  and  at  length;  and  we  do  hope  that 
the  Foreign  Correspondent  will  feel  that  this  Review,  though 
more  brief  than  his,  reciprocates  his  kindness.  In  his  com- 
ment on  England,  he  gives  us  figures  which  we  had  not 
found  elsewhere  and  which  he  quotes  from  England's  Grand 
Master,  "We  number  now  some  7,000  Lodges;  our  brethren 
number  some  600,000;  500,000  of  these  are  in  England  and 
Wales  and  some  100,000  in  our  Lodges  overseas." 

The  Grand  Master  was  re-elected  for  the  fourth,  con- 
secutive session.  In  his  Addresses  he  told  of  the  consecration 
of  4  new  country  Lodges  and  7  metropolitan  Lodges  but 
deplored  the  falling  off  of  attendance  at  regular  meetings. 
He  appealed  to  the  Masters  to  make  their  meetings  as 
attractive  as  possible  by  "tyling  on  time,"  and  by  doing 
good  work  in  an  expeditious  manner  so  that  the  brethren 
may  have  an  opportunity  of  fraternizing  "in  the  South".  (The 
vocabulary  is  different  from  ours  but  the  idea  is  the  same — 
fewer  and  shorter  speeches?)  The  Grand  Director  of  Cere- 
monies called  on  the  representatives  of  Sister  Grand  Lodges 
"to  be  upstanding,"  (an  expression  inherited  from  the  old 
land).  The  Grand  Inspector  of  Workings  made  a  good 
suggestion  when  he  said,  "Concern  is  still  expressed  at  the 
late  hour  brethren  remain  in  the  lodge  room,  leaving  little 
time  to  fraternize  at  the  festive  board;  prompt  tyling  at 
the  set  time,  with  work  in  the  lodge  room  finalized  by  9.30 
p.m.  would  be  a  considerable  help  and  possibly  reflect  in 
better  attendance."  (Why  not?) 

The  same  official  stated,  in  his  second  report,  "It  is 
pleasing  to  record  the  high  standard  of  work  reported  in 
many  Lodges  and  to  note  the  dignity  and  decorum  observed 
by  the  brethren  at  the  festive  board  where  many  happy 
evenings  have  been  enjoyed  by  all." 


46  GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA 

There  was  a  good  deal  of  discussion  over  a  proposal 
made  by  the  Grand  Master  to  establish  "The  Masonic 
Temple's  Fund"  for  a  new  Grand  Temple  to  be  "a  Memorial 
to  perpetuate  the  memory  of  brethren  who  made  the  supreme 
sacrifice  through  war  service  on  behalf  of  the  British 
Commonwealth  of  Nations."  He  proposed  also  to  loan 
money  from  this  fund,  at  a  low  rate  of  interest  to  enable 
Lodges  to  instal  air-conditioning  and  to  make  necessary 
repairs.  By  a  large  majority  the  decision  was  made  that, 
from  January  1st,  1960,  each  Lodge  would  contribute  20 
shillings  a  year  for  each  member  to  build  up  the  fund  in 
order  that  the  Temple  might  be  commenced,  as  the  Grand 
Master  suggested,  in  15  to  17  years,  probably  sooner. 

In  the  solution  of  a  problem  which,  happily,  has  not 
arisen  here  where  there  are  no  "appendant  bodies,"  a  nice 
compromise  was  effected.  The  Australian  Grand  Council  of 
the  Order  of  De  Molay  eliminated  from  its  constitution  all 
reference  to  Freemasonry  and,  as  that  was  considered  to 
have  made  that  Order  similar  to  other  youth  organizations, 
Freemasons  were  allowed  to  take  part  in  it  "in  their 
capacity  as    private  citizens." 

The  Proceedings  close  with  several  of  the  most  ap- 
propriate poems  it  has  been  our  privilege  to  read. 


NEW  ZEALAND  —  1959 

70th  Annual  Communication  —  November  25 

Grand  Master,  1958-60— M.W.  Bro.  C.  H.  Taylor 

Lodges,  406.  Membership,  45,973.  Gain,  593. 

In  these  Proceedings  there  are  accounts  of  some  of  the 
most  interesting  discussions  and  many  evidences  of  the 
best  of  good  common  sense  in  dealing  with  difficulties.  The 
foremost  topic  in  New  Zealand,  as  elsewhere,  is  poor  attend- 
ance along  with  alarmingly  numerous  resignations.  These 
two  related  problems  are  sensibly  discussed  and  there  are 
some  constructive  suggestions.  One  statement  that  would  be 
amusing,  if  it  were  not  so  true,  is  this:  "As  for  the  number 
of  members  who  resigned,  one  of  the  great  counter-attract- 
tions  is  indoor  bowls.  This  pastime  has  become  a  fever. 
Men  are  leaving  their  wives  and  families  because  of  it. 
Night  after  night  they  desert  their  homes  to  go  and  play 
indoor  bowls.  Once  they  drift  away  they  do  not  come  hack. 
The  Lodges  should  try  to  counteract  this  loss."  Another 
speaker  said,  "where  are  the  Freemasons  we  knew  thirty  or 
forty  years  ago — men  who  really  regarded  their  Lodge  as 
part  of  their  lives?"  Seven  new  Lodges  were  constituted 
during-  the  year  and  two  others  are  in  process  of  establish- 


FRATERNAL  CORRESPONDENCE  47 

merit.  There  are  13  Districts  each  presided  over  by  a 
Provincial  Grand  Master.  In  the  last  five  years,  5,536 
members  resigned — 1,247  of  them  during  the  past  year. 

This  Grand  Lodge  has  commenced  construction  of  a  new- 
office  building  but,  as  in  our  own  case,  completion  has  been 
greatly  delayed.  There  is  a  good  library  and  a  museum. 
Benevolence  receives  much  attention — there  is  a  Masonic 
Institute  and  there  are  a  good  many  Masonic  bursaries. 

In  the  Grand  Master's  Address  there  are  many  signific- 
ant statements.  He  feels  justified  in  stating:  that  "the  Craft 
is  in  a  healthy  condition  in  New  Zealand."  Some  Lodges  are 
too  large — a  membership  of  over  200  should  require  the 
formation  of  a  new  Lodge.  "There  are  a  few  Lodges  which 
have  a  struggle  to  keep  their  membership  large  enough  to 
supply  even  the  requisite  number  of  capable  officers."  The 
ritual  work  is  generally  of  a  reasonably  good  standard  but 
in  some  cases  could  be  greatly  improved.  "Some  Lodges  are 
making  little  or  no  effort  to  contribute  the  one  pound  per 
member  per  year  to  Grand  Lodge  benevolence."  "In  many 
instances  the  Lodges  that  make  the  smallest  contributions 
to  charity  are  those  that  make  the  biggest  claims  on  the 
charitable  funds  of  Grand  Lodge."  In  some  cases,  though 
not  as  many  as  in  previous  years,  there  is  too  great  a  con- 
sumption of  liquor  at  the  festive  board.  "Do  we  spend  too 
much  time  in  out  refectories  in  praising  one  another  and 
Baying  what  wonderful  people  we  all  are?  Freemasonry  is 
a  useful  institution.  It  has  done  and  is  doing  much  good  in 
■the  world.  Let  us  not,  however,  claim  for  it  virtues  greater 
than  it  really  has."  "I  have  never  been  able  to  understand 
why  all  Masonic  differences,  even  those  of  a  serious  nature, 
should  not  be  discussed  without  heat  and  in  the  light  of 
reason."  From  the  extracts  given,  readers  will  realize  that 
the  Grand  Lodge  of  New  Zealand  has  a  wise  and  a  capable 
Grand  Master.

Unfortunately  the  Grand  Master  was  ill  and  his  Address 
was  read  for  him.  What  a  magnificent  Report  it  was!  He 
had  been  one  of  the  most  active  Grand  Masters  in  the  whole 
country  and  his  administration  was  all  that  could  be  desired 


48         GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA 

and  more.  Our  Grand  Master  of  that  year,  M.W.  Bro. 
Harry  L.  Martyn,  received  an  enthusiastic  welcome.  Six  new 
Lodges  were  given  their  charters  during  the  year  and  all 
Lodges,  except  one  which  was  three  days  late,  filed  returns 
in  the  specified  time;  the  delinquent  was  fined  $3.00.  Seventy- 
eight  brethren  received  50-year  buttons  and  certificates. 

Advocating  adoption  by  every  Lodge  of  the  "lodge 
system  of  Masonic  Education",  the  Grand  Master  said: 
■"Every  candidate  is  a  stranger  to  Freemasonry  and  Free- 
masonry is  a  stranger  to  him.  It  is  not  merely  a  Lodge 
that  he  joins  but  a  fraternity  with  millions  of  members 
throughout  the  world;  with  a  history  stretching  back  over 
many  centuries;  with  an  intricate  system  of  laws  and  a 
large  number  of  purposes,  ideals,  and  obligations;  with  many 
rights,  privileges,  and  duties;  and  with  the  ancient  landmarks 

to  be  preserved When  the  lodge  system  of  Masonic 

Education  is  adhered  to,  not  only  does  the  candidate  profit, 
but  the  Lodge  is  strengthened  by  having  new  members  who, 
from  the  beginning,  are  more  likely  to,  (a)  take  part  in 
its  activities;  (b)  become  regular  attendants;  (c)  grasp  the 
purposes  of  the  endeavours  of  the  Lodge;  (d)  come  in 
better  prepared  for  work." 


In  reply  to  a  question,  the  Grand  Master  wrote:  "I 
think  that  applause  in  connection  with  any  part  of  the  degree 
work  is  entirely  out  of  place,  because  we  should  endeavour 
to  create  a  solemn  and  serious  atmosphere  in  which  the 
degree  work  may  be  more  effectively  impressed  upon  the 
candidate,  and  not  to  create  an  atmosphere  of  gaiety  or 
levity  .  .  .  We  do  not  applaud  in  church,  however  much  we 
may  restrain  the  desire  to  do  so  sometimes." 


Three  Lodges  requested  permission  to  construct  and 
occupy  one-storey  lodge  buildings  and  this  was  allowed  on 
condition  that  "the  lodge  rooms  could  be  properly  tyled 
and  free  from  cowans  and  eavesdroppers." 


A  Lodge  and  its  Master  received  a  sharp  reprimand, 
-which  was  duly  recorded,  for  initiating  a  candidate  at  the 
same  meeting  at  which  he  was  ballotted  for  and  accepted. 


The  Grand  Master  concluded  by  strong  condemnation  of 
carelessness  in  investigating  the  moral  character  of  petition- 
ers and  of  the  promotion  of  ill-prepared  officers  who  were 
ignorant  of  Masonic  Laws.

Grand  Master,  1958-59 — M.W.  Bro.  L.  C.  Mensing 
Grand  Master,  1959-60— M.W.  Bro.  B.  G.  Gustafson 

Lodges,   120.  Membership,   14,109.  Loss,  161. 

(Anticipating  Statehood,  the  Grand  Lodges  of  North 
and  South  Dakota  were  established  in  1889,  replacing  one 
Grand  Lodge.    This  accounts  for  their  apparent  youth.) 

At  the  opening  of  Grand  Lodge,  the  flags  of  the  United 
States  and  of  Canada  were  presented  at  the  altar  and  the 
assembly  sang  "My  Country  Tis  of  Thee",  "God  Save  the 
Queen"/ and  "Two  Countries  by  the  Sea".  Among  Canadian 
guests  were  M.W.  Bro.  Arthur  D.  Cumming,  P.G.M.  of 
Alberta;  M.W.  Bro.  W.  A.  Prugh,  M.W.  Bro.  William 
Douglas,  M.W.  Bro.  W.  C.  McDonald,  M.W.  Bro.  H.  H.  Gray, 
M.W.  Bro.  D.  Rothstein  and  R.W.  Bro.  W.  E.  Glover  of 
Manitoba;  and  R.W.  Bro.  Wellington  Smith,  P.G.S.W.  of 
Ontario.  The  Fifty- Year  Masons  were  asked  to  take  their 
places  at  the  altar  and  were  given  a  special  greeting. 

The  Grand  Master  had  made  his  special  concern  an 
attempt  to  get  back  to  the  very  foundation  of  Freemasonry 
as  it  affects  the  new  candidates.  He  tried  to  ensure  that 
1die  new  member  received  everything  he  is  entitled  to  in 
light,  education,  and  information  about  the  Craft.  He  attend- 
ed all  23  of  the  District  Meetings.  He  deplores  the  loss  in 
membership  and  says,  "Masonry  is  flourishing  in  some  juris- 
dictions and  we  cannot  escape  the  fact  that  it  must  be  our 
own  fault.    Let's  all  go  to  work." 

This  Grand  Lodge  operates  an  excellent  Masonic  Library 
which  has  built  up  a  remarkably  fine  circulation.  Perhaps 
this  Grand  Lodge  is  unique  in  having  a  Masonic  Park  of  its 
own  which  is  to  be  enclosed  by  a  fence;  there  is  also  a 
Masonic  Island  which  is  described  as  an  International  Land- 
mark for  Freemasonry.  The  Committee  on  Resolutions  re- 
ported that  "the  joint'installation  with  the  Eastern  Star  has 
always  been  one  of  the  social  highlights  of  the  winter 
season  and  has  been  a  great  asset  to  the  smaller  Lodges  of 
the  state,"    Unheard  of  in  our  country! 

Masonic  Education  receives  a  good  deal  of  attention 
through  the  efforts  of  a  strong  committee.  "Some  Lodges 
have  a  fine  programme  of  Masonic  Education  and  Instruct- 
ion but  far  too  many  are  neglecting  this  very  important 
aspect  of  Freemasonry." 

There  is,  as  in  many  Grand  Lodges  in  the  United  States 
(but   fortunately  none  "in  Canada)    a   Committee   on   Publi« 


50  GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA 

School  Education  which  reported  in  part,  as  follows:  "Our 
schools  are  faced  with  many  problems  which  must  be  solved 
if  our  youth  are  to  receive  an  education  geared  to  the 
twentieth  century.  Re-organization,  finance,  curriculum 
offering,  housing,  higher  education  and  guidance  are  only  a 
few  of  the  many  unsolved  problems  facing  the  public  schools 
in  North  Dakota". 

All  in  all,  this  Annual  Communication  was  inspiring  and 
profitable. 


NOVA  SCOTIA— 1959 

94th  Annual  Communication1 — June  7-8 

Grand  Master,  1958  -  1960— M.W.  Bro.  C.  H.  Oolwell 

Lodges,  114.  Membership,  14,855.  Loss,  5. 

During  the  year  two  new  Lodges  were  instituted;  two 
were  constituted;  and  two  new  temples  were  dedicated.  The 
roots  of  Freemasonry  have  grown  deep  in  Nova  Scotia  where 
the  first  Lodges  were  established  more  than  two  hundred 
years  ago,  in  1738.  We  are  frequently  reminded  that  the 
Province  of  Nova  Scotia  has  a  flag  of  its  own  as  no  other 
Province  has;  and  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Nova  Scotia  is  the 
only  one  in  Canada  that  maintains  a  Masonic  Home. 

The  Grand  Master  expresses  his  appreciation  to  the 
Associate  Grand  Secretary,  M.W.  Bro.  R.  V.  Harris,  (that 
great  pillar  of  the  Craft  in  Canada)  "for  his  continued 
diligence  in  all  things  Masonic".  He  deplores  the  large 
number  of  suspensions  for  non-payment  of  dues  and  suggests 
that  some  means  should  be  found  to  keep  the  brethren  in 
good  standing. 

On  March  19th,  1959,  the  Grand  Secretary  of  the  Grand 
Lodge  of  Mississippi  wrote  Nova  Scotia,  "This  is  to  officially 
notify  you  that  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Mississippi  severed 
fraternal  relations  with  your  Grand  Lodge  at  its  Annual 
Communication  last  month.  This  action  was  made  necessary 
by  your  recognition  and  acceptance  of  clandestine  Masonry 
in  your  jurisdiction.  This  information  was  contained  in 
your  Grand  Secretary's  Report  for  1957  concerning  Prince 
Hall  Masonry." 

To  this  peremptory  notification  the  veteran  Associate 
Grand  Secretary,  former  barrister,  solicitor,  and  jurist, 
replied  with  an  unvarnished,  straight-forward  factual  history 
which  would  convince  anyone  and  has,  undoubtedly,  convinced 
all  interested  except  those  who  may  be  determined  to  dis- 
believe.    Dr.  Harris's  letter  covers  five  pages  of  the  Pro- 


FRATERNAL  CORRESPONDENCE  51 

ceedings;  copies  were  sent,  on  request,  to  Arkansas,  Florida, 
Georgia,  Oklahoma,  Texas  and  others.  Florida's  reply  seems 
to  smm  up  the  situation,  the  final  sentence  being  this,  "After 
a  careful  perusal  of  that  letter,  reciting  the  history  of  the 
invasion  of  Nova  Scotia's  jurisdiction  in  1948  by  Prince 
Hall  Grand  Lodge  (coloured)  and  the  continued  and  finally 
successful  efforts  to  get  their  withdrawal,  we  are  of  the 
opinion  that  no  grounds  exist  for  any  disruption  of  Fraternal 
Relation®  with  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Nova  Scotia". 

In  Masonic  Education  operations,  a  question-and-answer 
period  has  been  tried,  with  good  results.  A  series  of  talks 
is  to  be  given,  twice  a  month  from  October  to  May,  at 
Freemasons'  Hall,  Halifax,  open  to  all  brethren.  For  these 
talks  an  interesting  series  of  topics  has  been  arranged. 

The  Grand  Historian  urges  every  Lodge  to  obey  the 
Constitution  and  to  elect  an  Historian  at  once  before  records 
are  lost  or  forgotten.  It  is  recommended  that  each  Lodge 
place  greater  stress  on  making  the  meetings  more  interest- 
ing. This  Reviewer  is  proud  to  be  in  the  list  of  those  who 
wear  the  Erasmus  James  Phillips  Bronze  Medallion. 


OHIO— 1959 

150th  Annual  Communication — October  16  -  17 

Grand  Master,  1958-59— M.W.  Bro.  C.  Hodges 
Grand  Master,1959-60 — M.W.  Bro.  C.  K.  Cunningham 

Lodges,  670.  Membership,  282,793.  Gain,  170. 

In  the  Reviews  and  in  the  Foreword,  all  written  by  M.W. 
Bro.  C.  W.  Ellenwood,  there  can  be  found  a  mine  of  good 
common  sense  as  well  as  suggestions  and  much  interesting 
information.  Almost  universal,  he  says,  is  the  downward 
trend  in  membership  in  United  States  Grand  Lodges,  caused 
by  fewer  initiations  and  too  many  suspensions;  but  in  no  case 
has  he  noted  an  attitude  of  panic,  though  certainly  one  of 
serious  concern,  among  Grand  Masters  and  other  leaders. 
The  cure,  he  suggests,  is  a  revival  of  zeal  on  the  part  of 
leaders  from  Junior  Stewards  to  Grand  Masters.  Educational 
programmes  will  help,  he  says,  but  "it's  the  teacher  and  not 
the  text  that  really  counts  in  education."  Another  cure  for 
the  trends  would  be  the  publicity  of  our  "good  works,"  he 
thinks,  and  he  also  suggests  that  dues  are  too  low.  He 
pinpoints  the  number  of  English  Lodges  at  6,844  and  he 
finds  difficulty  in  reviewing  Ireland's  Proceedings  but  we 
must  remind  him  that  Irish  originality  is  almost  as  famous 
as  Irsh  hospitality! 


52  GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA 

In  an  inspiring-  Address,  the  Grand  Master  said,  "As  we 
continue  to  analyze  some  of  our  conditions,  what  do  we  find 
in  our  Lodges?  Are  they  merely  social  clubs  or  are  they 
playing  their  part  in  the  mission  of  Freemasonry?  A  few 
continue  to  drift  with  inadequate  fees  and  dues.  AH  too 
many  rely  on  the  initiation  fee  to  operate  and  sponsor  their 
programmes  for  the  year.  In  general,  the  attendance  is  low, 
slightly  under  ten  per  cent." 

The  Committee  on  Masonic  Education  prepared  a  good 
deal  of  useful  and  interesting  material  which  has  proved 
to  be  generally  acceptable  to  the  Lodges. 

The  Grand  Master  suggests  a  revision  of  one  section  of 
the  Code  so  that  it  would  read,  "To  indulge  in  the  excessive 
use  of  intoxicating  liquors  wherever  obtained  shall  be  deemed 
a  Masonic  offence  and  subject  the  Brother  so  offending  to 
charges  and  expulsion;  it  shall  also  be  a  disqualification  for 
initiation  or  affiliation  in  any  Masonic  Lodge."  This  omits 
former  reference  to  the  sale  or  advertising  of  liquor. 

He  emphasizes  another  section  which  reads.  "All  lotteries, 
games  of  chance,  and  raffles  of  every  kind  and  character,  by 
or  under  the  management  or  supervision  of  Lodges  within 
the  Jurisdiction  of  Grand  Lodge,  are  hereby  prohibited." 

To  three  brethren  Grand  Lodge  awarded  seventy-year 
emblems;  810  received  during  the  year  fifty-year  medals  and 
1,351  received  twenty-five  year  emblems.

Previous  to  the  Annual  Communication,  several  Emergent 
Communications  were  held,  the  purpose  of  one  of  them  being 
to  constitute  a  new  Lodge  in  the  presence  of  brethren,  their 
families  and  friends,  while  the  purpose  of  four  of  these 
Communications  was  to  lay  the  corner-stones  of  school 
buildings. 

The  Grand  Master  issued  the  following  edict:  "It  shall 
be  unlawful  for  a  constituent  lodge  to  print  or  publish  a 
roster  of  their  members  or  furnish  the  same  foT  any  person 
or  organization  without  the  approval  of  the  Grand  Master." 


FRATERNAL  CORRESPONDENCE  53 

(We  are  glad  to  note  use  of  the  word  "constituent"  rather 
than  the  less  preferable  word  "subordinate",  so  often  used.) 
He  would  like  to  establish  a  Home  for  aged  persons, 
in  addition  to  the  existing  charitable  institutions;  (This 
would  be  a  Home  where  aged  persons  would  be  permitted  to 
pay  for  their  entire  keep;)  and  he  hopes  also  that  the  per 
capita  tax  may  some  time  be  increased  to  cover  the  cost  of 
publishing'  and  distributing  "The  Oklahoma  Mason"  so  that 
every  member  would  automatically  become  a  subscriber  and 
reader.  During  the  year  1,154  members  were  reported  as 
unable  to  pay  their  dues. 

The  month  of  November  was  proclaimed  as  public 
school  week  and  the  members  of  constituent  lodges  were 
requested  to  visit  the  public  schools,  the  classrooms,  the 
faculty,  the  school  board,  and  various  school  groups.  The 
Grand  Master  urged  active  participation  in  the  affairs  of  the 
public  schools. 

In  1954  one  dollar  had  been  added  to  the  per  capita  tax 
to  pay  off  the  debt  on  the  Temple;  now  the  debt  had  been 
completely  paid;  the  mortgage  was  burned;  and  the  dollar 
was  removed  from  the  per  capita  tax. 

The  Committee  on  Masonic  Education  employed  a  part- 
time  organizer  who  is  a  full-time  public  school  teacher.  This 
official  has  spent  much  time  and  care  in  getting  the  right 
background  and  in  formulating  plans  for  future  operations. 
He  is  building  up  a  basic  bibliography  and  inviting  gifts  of 
books  for  the  library  and  equipment  for  the  museum. 

The  Publication  Committee  was  not  satisfied  with  the 
progress  of  "The  Oklahoma  Mason"  and  reported  that  there 
really  should  be  a  subsidy  from  Grand  Lodge.  Generally 
speaking,  the  magazine  is  reaching  only  those  Masons  who 
are  already  active  members,  who  attend  lodge  meetings  and 
district  meetings,  and  are  really  interested  but  the  basic 
problem  is  to  reach  the  Masons  who  do  not  attend  their 
Lodges.  The  Committee  on  Finance  and  Appropriations 
recommended  a  subsidy  of  $1000.  to  "The  Oklahoma  Mason", 
the  official  publication  of  Grand  Lodge  and  a  grant  of 
$1,500.  to  the  Masonic  Education  Committee  for  completion 
of  its  programme  and  for  buying  shelves  for  the  library  and 
the  museum. 

The  Grand  Lecturer  reported  holding  a  number  of  very 
successful  schools,  both  district  and  local,  but  has  found 
great  need  for  schools  in  many  of  the  smaller  Lodges.  "In 
nearly  every  case",  he  says,  "night  schools  will  best  ac- 
complish the  purpose".    He  is  rendering  excellent  service.

Grand  Master — M.W.  Bro.  Walter  C.  Lansing 
Grand  Secretary — M.W.  Bro.  H.  D.  Proudfoot 

Lodges,  192  (1  U.D.)  Membership,  44,546.  Gain,  56. 

The  Foreword  in  the  Proceedings  is  a  one-page  biography 
of  the  Grand  Master.  Some  of  the  Oregon  Lodges  previously 
belonged  to  Missouri  and  California. 

The  Grand  Master's  Address  occupied  some  22  pages.  He 
conducted  or  approved  eight  occasional  communications  of 
Grand  Lodge,  issued  four  proxies,  made  several  rulings  and 
decisions,  approved  many  By-laws  or  amendments  thereto, 
and  issued  several  dispensations.  Among  the  latter  were 
several  permitting  the  reception  and  action  of  committees 
on  petitions  of  candidates  who  were  physically  handicapped. 

Among  the  permanent  active  committees  are  those  on 
Landmarks,  Masonic  and  Eastern  Star  Home,  the  Code, 
Public  Schools,  Masonic  Education.  Publicity  and  Masonic 
Blood  Bank.  He  recommended  that  the  installation  of  officers 
be  held  on  St.  John  the  Baptist's  Day,  June  24th. 

Towards  the  end  of  his  oration  the  Grand  Master  said, — 
"It  is  my  sincere  hope  that  Masonry  will  move  enthusiastical- 
ly, assume  its  proper  place  in  American  society  and  govern- 
ment as  a  leader  in  defending  and  promoting  those  principles 
and  standards  Which  are  so  essentially  necessary  to  the  life 
of  a  free  and  progressive  people." 

The  Grand  Orator,  Earl  T.  Newbry,  gave  an  excellent 
address  on  Freemasonry  as  a  champion  of  freedom,  public 
schools  and  things  cherished  in  a  democratic  world. 

The  Committee  on  the  Recognition  of  other  Grand  Lodges 
reported  in  favour  of  granting  the  request  of  Germany.  A 
number  of  requests  were  submitted  to  and  recommended  by 
the  Committee  of  Jurisprudence.  These  had  reference  to  the 
bonding  of  the  Treasurer  and  Secretary,  expenditures  by  these 
officers,  presentation  of  periodical  reports,  duties  of  trustees, 
and  details  of  various  financial  and  other  matters.  Altogether 
there  were  20  amendments. 

Bro.  E.  B.  Beaty  reviewed  several  reports  of  various 
Grand  Jurisdictions  under  several  topics  including  "The 
Legend  of  Hiram  Abif."

PENNSYLVANIA— 1959 

Animal  Communication — December  28,  and  Quarterly 
Communications  in  March,  June  and   September. 

Grand  Master,  1958-59— R.W.  Bro.  S.  M.  Chilcote 
Grand  Master,  1959-60— R.W.  Bro.  M.  F.  Balcom 

Lodges,  594.  Membership,  257,729.  Gain,  466. 

It  will  be  observed  that  the  title  of  the  Grand  Master  is 
Right  Worshipful;  so  far  as  we  know,  the  Grand  Lodge  of 
Pennsylvania  and  Masonic  Jurisdiction  Thereunto  Belonging, 
(to  give  the  correct  name)  is  the  only  Grand  Lodge  that  so 
designates  its  Grand  Master.  This  is  the  oldest  or,  as  some 
maintain,  the  second  oldest  Grand  Lodge  in  the  United  States. 
Two  of  its  Past  Grand  Masters,  R.W.  Bro.  R.  R.  Lew-is  and 
R.W.  Bro.  William  E.  Yeager  are  particularly  well  known  to 
our  Grand  Lodge. 

If  space  were  available,  it  would  be  worthwhile  to  re- 
print in  full  the  address  of  Grand  Master  Balcom  but  a  few 
significant  extracts  must  suffice.  "What's  happening  to 
Masonry  in  this  on- rushing,  ever-changing:  world  of  ours? 
Why  are  not  more  men  interested  in  their  labour?  The  Craft 
is  still  at  work  but  the  workers  are  beginning  to  thin  out 
Why?  We  have  been  enjoying  a  free  ride.  We  have  been 
free-wheeling,  coasting  on  the  impetus  and  momentum  of  the 
good  work  those  before  us  gave  the  Craft." 

The  Grand  Master  suggested  a  new  programme  of  which 
some  points  were:  (1)  Increase  the  attendance  at  meetings; 
(2)  Make  meetings  more  interesting;  (3)  Improve  the 
physical  condition  of  lodge  rooms.  (Rooms  on  the  third  floor 
he  refers  to  as  "cardiac  halls");  (4)  Re-kindle  the  spirit  of 
Masonry.  "Attendance  at  Craft  Lodge  Meetings  is  perhaps 
the  greatest  of  all  problems  as  far  as  Masonry  is  concerned 
to-day."  In  1956  a  survey  showed  that  many  Lodges  had  an 
attendance  of  only  8  per  cent  for  the  year!  "Everyone  should 
set  aside  at  least  one  night  a  month,  for  ten  months,  to 
attend  lodge  and  help  the  officers  and  the  'faithful'  who  are 
carrying  on  for  the  good  of  the  Craft". 

There  are  fine  Homes;  the  hospital  is  occupied  to  its 
normal  capacity  and  the  cottage  rooms  are  practically  all 
full.  Now  "home  assistance"  is  to  be  provided.  The  budget 
for  the  Homes  for  1960  is  $1,6000,000. 

"The  Masonic  Fraternity  has  hidden  its  good  deeds  under 
the  so-called  bushel  too  long."  said  the  Grand  Master,  "We 
know  no  reason  why  our  good  deeds  and  the  principles  of  the 
Fraternity  should  not  have  more  public  knowledge." 


56  GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA    ' 

The  Chief  Justice  of  the  Supreme  Court  of  the  State  and 
the  Chancellor  of  the  University  of  Pittsburgh  were  made 
Masonsv  "at  sight".  It  is  stated  that  this  is  not  done  any- 
where  else  but   it  was   done  once  in   Ontario  and,   I  think, 

once  in  Alberta. 

■  ... 

The  Committee  on  Masonic  Culture  is  doing  excellent 
work  by  means  of  pamphlets  and  otherwise  in  promoting 
Masonic  Education. 

We  are  all  proud  of  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Pennsylvania 
and  of  the  fine  contribution  it  is  making  to  the  development 
of  Freemasonry. 


PHILIPPINES— 1939

Lodges,  112.  Membership,   10,463.  Loss,  233. 

It  is  interesting  to  note  that,  of  the  members,  50  per 
cent  are  Filipinos;  40  per  cent  are  Americans;  6  per  cent 
are  Chinese;  and  all  other  nationalities'  make  up  the  remain- 
ing 4  per  cent.  "We  are  living  in  a  part  of  the  world",  said 
the  Grand  Master,  "where  the  eyes  of  all  are  focussed  and 
trouble  is  constantly  brewing.  ...  I  feel  proud  that  we  have 
a  membership  so  diversified  in  nationality,  yet  so  solidified 
in  purpose  and  dedication.  In  this  respect,  we  have  one 
of  the  finest  Grand  Lodges  in  the  World."  He  recommended 
public  installations  on  every  possible  occasion  in  order  that 
the  citizens  might  know  more  about  Freemasonry  and  he 
urged  that  the  finances  of  Lodges  must  be  kept  in  good 
order;  that  debts  be  promptly  paid;  and  that  income  must  be 
increased  if  that  was  at  all  necessary  to  meet  expenses. 
Greater  support  was  recommended  for  the  official  magazine, 
"The  Cabletow"  and  every  Lodge  was  urged  to  prepare  a 
short  news  letter  regularly  about  the  activities  of  the  Lodge 
and  the  brethren. 

To  his  successor  he  recommended  the  establishment  of  a 
Lodge  of  Research  which  would,  of  course,  do  no  degree 
work  but  would  confine  its  interest  to  Masonic  Research  and 
Education.  He  would  not  draw  any  conclusion  from  an  in- 
complete survey  which  showed  49  per  cent  of  the  membership 
to  be  over  50  years  of  age,  though  he  wondered  whether  the 
brethren  enjoy  exceptionally  good  longevity  or  whether 
young  men  are  not  coming  in  as  they  should. 


FRATERNAL  CORRESPONDENCE  57 

For  frank  statements  and  rather  stern  warnings,  few 
could  excel  the  report  of  the  Grand  Lodge  Lecturers  who 
found  several  faults  in  the  general  conduct  of  members  of 
constituent  Lodges.  First.  Brethren  must  observe  proper 
decorum  and  must  not  wear  polo  shirts  at  lodge  meetings. 
Tylers  were  to  be  instructed  not  to  admit  any  brother  who 
was  not  properly  dressed.  Second.  Members  must  not 
smoke  during  degree  work  because  smoking  is  allowed  only 
during  lectures  and  "it  would  be  more  edifying  if  it  were 
totally  prohibited  in  the  Lodge."  Third.  In  many  cases, 
the  "monitor"  is  used  in  open  Lodge  and  some  Masters 
cannot  open  or  close  a  Lodge  without  glancing  at  the  ritual. 
Drastic  action  is  promised  if  this  practice  does  not  cease. 
Fourth.  In  some  Lodges,  members  move  restlessly  about 
when  the  Lodge  is  at  work,  never  saluting  the  Master. 
Heated  arguments  must  be  avoided  during  a  meeting.  On 
one  occasion  a  member  raised  his  hand,  shouted,  and  inter- 
rupted the  Master.  Fifth.  It  has  been  the  practice  in 
some  Lodges  to  frighten  and  tease  the  candidate  and  to 
handle  him  roughly,  thus  degrading  what  should  be  a  moral 
and  spiritual  experience.  Sixth.  Applause  must  cease. 
Seventh.    Lodge  meetings  must  be  opened  on  time. 

But  there  is  another  and  brighter  picture.  "Some  Lodges 
have  made  much  progress  in  the  ritualistic  work  and  degrees 
are  conferred  proficiently  and  impressively.  Enlightenment 
of  the  members  on  Masonic  symbols  and  allegories  will  bring 
them  closer  to  Freemasonrv."  In  brief,  Masonic  Education 
is  to  be  stressed  and  should  produce  good  results.

At  this  Communication  there  were  guests  from  British 
Columbia,  Nova  Scotia,  NeAv  Brunswick;  and  New  York. 
Thirty-eight  Grand  Representatives  were  presented  to  the 
Grand  Master.  The  Grand  Master  visited,  during  the  year, 
every  Lodge  in  the  Jurisdiction. 

From  those  who  are  interested  in  Masonic  Education 
and  who  realize  that  many  different  ideas  are  held,  especially 
in  the  United  States,  regarding  the  meaning  and  the  content 
of  Masonic  Education,  the  following  quotation  from  the 
Report  of  the  Grand  Lecturer,  will  receive  cordial  approval; 
"I  believe  that  the  officers  are  doing  their  work  to  the  best 
of  their  ability  and,  so  far  as  the  actual  degree  work  is 


58  GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA 

concerned,  they  are  to  be  commended.  It  has  become  ap- 
parent to  me  that  there  is  a  lack  of  instruction  with  regard 
to  ancient  customs  and  procedure  which  are  not  found  in  the 
ritual  but  have  been  handed  down  by  word  of  mouth  and 
personal  contact."    He  advises  Lodges  of  Instruction. 

"We  are  all  aware",  the  Grand  Lecturer  continued,  "that 
there  are  two  rituals  in  use  in  this  jurisdiction  and  it  is 
very  difficult  for  a  brother  who  has  worked  for  many  years 
under  the  old  ritual  to  become  proficient  in  the  new  work." 

During1  the  year  all  secretaries  received  a  letter  from 
the  Grand1  Secretary,  instructing  them  how  to  make  out 
their  returns  to  Grand  Lodge  but  "very  few  followed  the 
instructions." 

The  Grand  Secretary  called  the  attention  of  all  Lodges  to 
the  importance  of  keeping  up  their  history.  "In  justice  to  the 
Lodge",  he  said,  "to  those  members  who  are  gone  and  to 
those  who  are  living,  it  is  important  that  all  outstanding 
events  be  carefully  recorded." 

The  Orphan  Fund  has  financial  assets  of  over  $12,000.00 
and  the  Benevolent  Fund  holds  bonds  to  the  value  of  $32,800. 

A  large  number  of  constituent  Lodges  were  late  in 
forwarding  their  returns;  these  returns  were  mostly  in- 
correct, and  several  Lodges  were  delinquent  in  payment  of 
dues  to  Gand  Lodge.  The  per  capita  dues  are  $2.25  of  which 
$1.75  is  for  Grand  Lodge,  25  cents  for  the  Orphan  Fund  and 
25  cents  for  the  Benevolent  Fund. 

One  curious  recommendation  of  the  Board  was  sent  back. 
It  was  that  the  Grand  Master  be  authorized  to  confer  the 
rank  of  Past  Master  on  any  Master  Mason  who  had  served 
his  Lodge  faithfully  and  well  for  35  years!

There  were  six  Special  Communications;  four  for  in- 
stituting or  constituting  new  Lodges  and  two  for  the  dedic- 
ation of  new  Masonic  Temples.  Our  Grand  Lodge  was 
represented  by  M.W.  Bro.  J.  A.  Hearn,  P.G.M.  The  Grand 
Master  reminded  his  brethren  that  it  was  on  the  20th  day 
of  November,  1759,  that  the  first  Provincial   Grand  Lodge 


FRATERNAL  CORRESPONDENCE  59 

was  established.  "From  this  origin  Masonry  has  continued 
in  the  Province,  with  certain  viciccitudes,  it  is  admitted,  and 
to-day  we  take  pride  in  the  achievements  of  the  past  two 
hundred  years."  The  Grand  Lodge  of  Quebec  was  created 
in  October,  1869,  ninety  years  ago. 

"It  would  be  helpful,"  said  the  Grand  Master,  "if  we 
could  get  to  the  root  of  the  cause  of  the  large  number  (183) 
of  the  suspensions  that  are  reported — to  satisfy  ourselves 
just  whether  we  have  been  faulty  in  our  selections  or  if  our 
attitude  towards  these  members  has  been  somewhat  apa- 
thetic." There  he  outlined  a  universal  problem!  In  visit- 
ations, a  list  of  which  is  given,  the  Grand  Master  did  not 
spare  his  time  or  his  energy.  He  attended  the  biennial 
meeting  of  the  All-Canada  Masonic  Conference  and  the 
North  American  Conference  in  Washington.  Masonic  Church 
Services  were  given  his  cordial  commendation. 

The  Masonic  Blood  Bank  is  now  under  the  wing  of  the 
Board  of  Relief  which  is  rendering  magnificent  service  in 
this  connection.  An  interesting  ruling  was  that  the  Master 
of  a  Lodge  must  be  "a  resident  within  the  confines  of  the 
jurisdiction  of  his  Lodge."  This  seems  reasonable.  The 
History  of  Quebec  Freemasonry  has  been  written  and  is  to 
be  printed  and  on  sale  in  the  near  future. 

The  Committee  on  the  State  of  Masonry  deplores  the 
scanty  attendance  at  lodge  meetings,  especially  in  the  rural 
areas.  A  few  Lodges  (5)  had  no  initiations  during  the  year; 
44  Lodges  showed  a  net  increase;  54  showed  decreases;  and 
8  remained  stationary.  Several  Lodges  have  found  it  neces- 
sary to  increase  their  annual  dues  slightly. 

The  Committee  on  Benevolence  and  Charity  presented 
a  fine  report,  showing  that  this  phase  of  Masonic  activity  is 
not  neglected  but,  on  the  contrary,  receives  special  attention. 

Printed  and  supplementary  bulletins  are  issued  each  year 
and  are  well  received.  The  Committee  on  Research  and 
Education  endeavours  in  this  way  to  keep  attendants  and 
non- attendants  informed  on  the  activities  of  Grand  Lodge. 
The  Committee  would  like  to  see  more  use  made  of  the 
Library  to  which  a  number  of  books  were  added  during  th 
year. 

Naturally,  we  in  Ontario  are  especially  interested  in  the 
welfare  of  our  neighbouring  Grand  Lodge  and  are  proud 
to  observe  that  it  is  more  than  holding  its  own,  under* 
difficult  circumstances.  Through  almost  every  page  of  the 
Proceedings  one  feels  the  cloud  of  sorrow  occasioned  by  the 
death  of  Right  Worshipful  Brother  Louthood.  This  Reviewer 
had  the  privilege  of  the  friendship  of  the  late  Grand  Secre- 
tary for  whom  he  had  the  highest  regard,  esteem,  and 
affection.

history,  philosophy,  and  education  as  is  the  September,  1959, 
issue  of  The  Ashlar,  a  magazine  published  by  the  United 
Grand  Lodge  of  Freemasons  of  Queensland,  Australia.  They 
hold  faithfully  to  the  Masonic  traditions  of  the  Old  Land, 
than  which  no  traditions  or  customs  are  better.  From  the 
editorial  page  we  quote  four  sentences:  "The  high  standard 
of  life  that  Freemasonry  looks  for  is  supported  and  nourished 
by  the  symbolic  teachings  which  are  used  to  cement  men 
of  all  nations,  creeds,  and  colour,  one  to  the  other  the  world 
over."  "Education,  that  knowledge  having  with  it  a  moral 
outlook,  is  the  highway  that  leads  Freemasons  to  their  goal." 
"The  names  of  men  who  have  been  stalwarts  in  the  history 
of  Queensland  during  this  period  have  also  been  stalwarts 
in  Queensland  Freemasonry."  "The  principles  of  Free- 
masonry remain  to-day  as  they  ever  have  been;  square 
conduct,  tolerance  to  all,  level  steps,  moral  attitudes,  up- 
rightness, respect  for  cleanliness  and  virtue,  and  a  clear 
conscience."  Notice,  please,  the  frequent  use  of  the  word 
"Freemasons"  whereas,  in  the  United  States,  the  word  is 
almost,  if  not  continually,  "Masons." 

The  Grand  Master.  M.W.  Bro.  H.  B.  Milliner,  is  the 
author  of  the  leading  article  entitled  "What  is  Freemasonry?" 
and  there  are  nine  other  well-written  and  thought-provoking 
articles  by  leaders  of  the  Craft.  If  one  has  been  able  to 
work  out  the  threads  of  history  at  all  correctly,  it  is  a 
fascinating  story. 

One  hundred  years  ago  there  were  three  District  Grand 
Lodges  in  Queensland — English,  Scottish,  and  Irish — and 
attempts  were  made  from  time  to  time  to  unite  them  in  one 
Grand  Lodge  but  nothing  happened  until  1903  when  the 
Irish  District  Grand  Lodge  proved  to  be  the  catalyst;  and 
24  Irish  Lodges  and  14  Scottish  Lodges  united  to  form  the 
Grand  Lodge  of  Queensland  in  1904.  There  must  have  been 
many  animated  discussions  in  those  days. 

In  1920,  the  English  and  the  Scottish  District  Grand 
Lodges  united  "for  the  one  purpose  of  unity  and  amalgam- 
ation   with   the    Grand    Lodge    of    Queensland".     This  new 


FRATERNAL  CORRESPONDENCE  61 

organization  was  named  the  Queensland  Grand  Lodge.  Eight 
months  later,  December,  1920,  after  presumably  friendly 
negotiations  between  the  two  Grand  Lodges,  arrangements 
were  well  under  way  and  in  May,  1921,  the  United  Grand 
Lodge  of  Antient,  Free  and  Accepted  Masons  of  Queensland 
was  established. 

The  Grand  Masters  hold  office  for  varying  terms,  some- 
times one  year,  three  years  frequently,  five  years  occasionally. 
Bursaries  have  been  set  up  for  the  children  in  Masonic 
Homes.  Each  Grand  Master  in  recent  years  has  stressed 
the  paramount  necessity  for  Masonic  Education  and  several 
have  said  that  "The  Ashlar"  is  an  excellent  medium  for  this 
project.  Though  statistics  are  not  given,  it  is  apparent  that 
Freemasonry  is  flourishing  "down  under" — eleven  new 
Lodges  were  consecrated  in  1958-59. 

38th  Annual  Report 

An  interesting  feature  of  one  of  the  Communications 
was  a  report  made  by  Professor  T.  G.  H.  Jones,  P.G.M.  who 
had  represented  the  Grand  Lodge  at  the  celebrations  in 
California.  He  told  of  attending  the  Conference  of  the 
Universities  of  the  British  Commonwealth  in  Canada. 
""Notable  differences,"  he  said,  "were  apparent"  between 
Masonic  customs  in  the  United  States  and  those  in  Queens- 
land. In  the  lodge  room  he  visited  there  was  no  "square 
pavement"  and  diagonal  movements  were  common.  The 
Lodge  was  opened  and  closed  in  the  third  degree,  with  no 
reference  whatever  to  the  first  or  second  degrees.  All 
business  was  conducted  in  the  third  degree,  unlike  the 
English  and  the  Canadian  procedure.  AH  present  wore  the 
E.A.  apron  of  spotless  white  and  the  Master  wore  a  top  hat. 
The  working  of  the  third  degree  was  highly  dramatic;  the 
festive  board  was  almost  non-existent,  just  a  few  sandwiches, 
coffee,  no  toasts  and  no  speeches.  "An  important  feature  of 
Masonry  in  California  and  in  most  parts  of  the  United  States 
i9  the  entire  absence  of  alcoholic  beverages  at  Masonic 
gatherings — meetings  and  dinners  alike.  The  large  bank 
oalances  of  some  of  the  Lodges  is,  no  doubt,  a  direct  conseq- 
uence of  this  policy  in  the  United  States1 — it  is  worth  reflect- 
ing on".  .  .  "Rulings  by  the  Grand  Master  have  to  be  con- 
firmed and  ratified  by  Grand  Lodge  and  that  body  in  many 
instances  does  not  hesitate  not  to  confirm  or  ratify  them' — 
a  practice  widely  different  from  our  own  which  does  not 
allow  any  questioning  of  a  Grand  Master's  rulings."  (Thought- 
ful Masons,  like  M.W.  Bro.  Jones,  are  interested  in  observing 
differences  and  trying  to  account  for  them.) 

Benevolence  is  a  primary  objective  of  this  Grand  Lodge; 
there  were  30  brethren.  5  widows,  and  2  married  couples  in 
residence  in  the  Freemasons'  Homes  at  Sandeate  and,  in  the 
Freemasons'  Homes  Hosoi+al.  at  the  same  place,  there  were 
14  male  and  3  female  patients. 


62  GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA 

Scholarships  are  awarded  to  selected  students,  with 
Masonic  connection,  at  the  University  of  Queensland.  The 
official  publication,  "The  Ashlar",  a  very  excellent  Masonic 
magazine,  had  greatly  increased  its  circulation  during  the 
year.  In  response  to  several  enquiries  a  strict  order  was 
issued  that  "under  no  circumstances  shall  any  organization 
other  than  Masonic  Lodges,  Chapters  etc.  be  allowed  to  meet 
in  a  Masonic  Temple,  whether  dedicated  or  not."  Following 
a  complaint  by  the  police,  Lodges  were  warned  "that,  if 
public  address  systems  are  used,  the  volume  must  be  kept 
down  so  that  the  sounds  therefrom  can  be  heard  in  the 
supper  room  only." 

One  obtains  the  impression  from  a  perusal  of  the  reports 
of  the  meetings  of  this  Grand  Lodge  that  it  is  wisely 
governed  by  earnest  Masons.

Lodges,    44.  Membership,    19,171.  Loss,    34. 

Small  in  numbers  though  it  may  be,  as  compared  with 
most  others,  and  small  though  its  Jurisdiction  is,  this  Grand 
Lodge  has  a  name  longer  than  has  our  Grand  Lodge  or  the 
Grand  Lodge  of  Pennsylvania,  its  technical  designation 
being,  "The  Grand  Lodge  of  the  Most  Ancient  and  Honourable 
Society  of  Free  and  Accepted  Masons  for  the  State  of  Rhode 
Island  and  Providence  Plantations."  The  attendance  at  the 
Annual  Communication  was  190.  It  is  an  active  and  well- 
managed  organization.  The  Grand  Master  stated  that 
he  "fiercely  defends  tradition  and  custom"  but  he  appointed 
several  committees  to  study  up-to-date  procedures  if  such 
should  be  desirable  and  he  arranged  for  a  saving  of  time 
in  balloting  at  the  Communications.  In  some  cases  Lodges 
have  been  accepting:  candidates  whose  homes  have  been  out- 
side their  own  jurisdictions  and  there  was  a  great  deal  of 
discussion  over  the  proposal  to  abolish  jurisdictional  lines 
completely. 

At  a  public  installation  of  Moslem  Grotto  the  Grand 
Master  was  made  a  "Life  Member  and  a  Prophet  at  Sight" 
for  which  he  expressed  his  warm  gratitude. 

Even  greater  strides  than  in  preceding  years  were  made 
in  the  proerramme  of  Masonic  Education  and  plans  were 
considered  for  further  development. 


FRATERNAL  CORRESPONDENCE  63 

"With  the  ever-increasing  costs  of  materials  and  services, 
your  Grand  Lodge  and  some  of  the  subordinate  Lodges  are 
operating  on  a  shoestring  or  on  a  deficit.  Reserve  funds 
and  permanent  funds  are  being  used  to  pay  current  expenses." 
So  said  the  Grand  Master  and  he  went  on  to  advise,  "Let  us 
not  sell  Masonry  too  cheaply  in  our  jurisdiction."  The 
Finance  Committee  recommended  that  the  per  capita  tax  be 
$1.50  per  member. 

Last  year,  for  the  first  time,  the  "forums"  were  in 
operation  in  all  seven  districts.  The  Grand  Lecturer  said,  in 
part,  "It  is  the  concensus  of  the  brethren  that  these  forums 
have  filled  a  great  void  in  our  Masonic  Jurisdiction.  As 
time  passes,  the  need  for  supplementary  Masonic  Education 
will  be  even  more  evident.  The  universality  and  lore  of 
Masonry  is  a  touchstone  of  our  Fraternity  and  our  future 
brethren  should  be  taught  this  and  other  dogmas.  In  this 
manner  they  will  not  only  be  preserved  but  will  be  trans- 
mitted from  generation  to  generation." 

Twenty-two  Lodges  lived  within  their  incomes;  twenty- 
one  did  not.  The  largest  Lodge  has  1,350  members;  the 
smallest  has  75. 


SASKATCHEWAN— 1959 

53rd  Annual  Communication — June   17  -   18. 

Grand  Master,  1958-59— M.W.  Bro.  R.  Mayson 
Grand  Master,  1959-60— M.W.  Bro.  M.  Herman 

Lodges,    207.  Membership,    17,744.  Gain,    41. 

Several  significant  statements  were  made  by  our  friend, 
M.W.  Bro.  Douglas  Fraser,  in  his  Foreword  to  his  Reviews 
which  are  more  crisp  and  informative  than  any  we  have 
perused.  He  says:  "As  we  forecast  a  year  aero,  there  has 
been  a  substantial  drop  in  the  overall  gain  in  U.S.A.  member- 
ship. Eleven  American  Grand  Lodges  report  losses.  In 
Canada,  on  the  other  hand,  the  gain  betters  last  year's 
figure."  "Some  Grand  Masters  comment  on  lack  of  new 
material,  non-attendance,  waning  interest  in  Masonic  Edu- 
cation and  libraries  'unpatrondzed  and  buried  in  dust.'  " 
"Deficit  financing  is  far  too  common.  Our  Grand  Lodge 
seems  to  be  in  a  cycle  of  deficit  balances.  Costs  continue 
to  spiral."  "In  the  early  years  of  our  Grand  Lodge,  we 
were  frequently  invited  to  lay  corner-stones  but  it  is  almost 
unheard  of  to-day." 

Commenting  on  the  district  meetings,  the  Grand  Master 
said  in  his  Address:  "The  average  attendance  was  only  64. 
This  is  only   about  10  per  cent  of  our  total  membership. 


64  GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA 

63  Lodges  were  not  represented  at  last  year's  Annual  Com- 
munication." Dispensations  were  granted  for  three  new 
Lodges,  two  in  Reginia  and  one  in  Saskatoon.  In  the  urban 
centres,  Craft  Masonry  seems  to  be  flourishing  but  that  is 
not  the  case  in  the  rural  areas. 

Masonic  Education  receives  a  good  deal  of  attention,  the 
principal  medium  being  the  monthly  publication  entitled  "The 
Tracing  Board,"  to  which  my  classmate  of  many  years  ago, 
R.W.  Bro.  J.  E.  Campbell,  is  a  frequent  contributor.  192 
Lodges  have  established  libraries  of  various  sizes  and  quality 
and  92  Lodges  have  their  committees  on  Masonic  Education, 
but  figures  on  the  use  of  the  libraries  are  not  encouraging. 

After  Benevolence,  which  is  well  and  wisely  handled; 
and,  after  Masonic  Education,  which  is  always  kept  to  the 
fore,  comes  Saskatchewan's  primary  project  which  is  "Free- 
masonry and  Youth."  The  Fund  for  this  worthwhile  enter- 
prise received  additions  of  over  $10,000  during  the  year.  121 
Lodges  took  pait  in  Youth  activities  of  some  kind  such  as 
youth  nights,  social  evenings,  sports  events,  father  and  son 
nights,  university  nights,  etc.  One  Lodge  awarded  fifty- 
dollar  scholarships.  The  comments  of  the  District  Deputy 
Grand  Masters  are  summarized  by  such  remarks  as;  "a  hit 
and  miss  arrangement";  "things  are  pretty  well  at  a  standstill 
now;"  "we  need  a  different  approach";  "send  us  literature 
on  the  17  Flan."  These  evaluations1  produce  some  new  ideas 
which  give  promise  of  putting  new  life  into  this  activity. 
"Whale  endorsing  fully  the  "17  Flan"  there  is  to  be  selection 
of  individual  boys  for  guidance  in  their  education  and  their 
careers.  Saskatchewan  has,  in  the  opinion  of  the  Committee, 
led  the  way  in  the  Masonic  world  in  its  work  for  Free- 
mason ry  and  Youth  and  "now,  having  emerged  from  the 
development  stages,  is  prepared  to  raise  its  sights  with  a 
uniform  plan  that  meets  the  high  aims  and  objects  of  our 
Order." 

We    all    wish    this   fine   Grand    Lodge  the   greatest    of 

success  in  its  laudable  objectives.

overseas  would  receive  inspiration  of  the  highest  sort  by 
arranging  to  attend  a  Communication  of  one  of  the  Grand 
Lodges  of  the  Old  Land. 

Three  new  Lodges  were  authorized  at  the  July  meeting. 
One  at  Montego  Bay,  Jamaica,  (Initiation  fee,  $60.00;  annual 
dues,  $15.00);  another  in  Edinburgh,  (Initiation,  $31.00; 
annual  dues,  $3.00).  ($3.00  to  the  pound).  At  the  September 
meeting  two  new  Lodges  were  approved,  one  at  Jaipur, 
India,  and  the  other  at  Ahmedabad,  India. 

The  Grand  Master  Mason  accepted  invitations  to  visit 
District  Grand  Lodges  in  New  Zealand  and  in  South  Africa. 
Consideration  was  given  to  a  proposed  group  insurance 
scheme  for  all  members  of  the  Grand  Lodge  Staff. 

Perhaps  it  is  safe  to  assert  that  Benevolence  is  the 
principal  project  of  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Scotland.  Remark- 
ably well  organized  though  it  is,  the  Grand  Committee  is 
seeking  means  for  improvement  and  has  sent  a  questionnaire 
to  all  Provincial  Grand  Lodges,  asking  for  particulars.  (By 
the  way,  there  is  a  Scottish  District  Grand  Lodge  in  New- 
foundland.) Some  of  the  questions  are  of  special  interest. 
"How  many  visits  are  made  to  annuntants  and  by  whom?" 
"Do  you  feel  our  annuitants  would  appreciate  more  frequent 
visits?"  "Would  you  be  in  favour  of  'Comforts'  being  granted 
applicants?"  From  this  one  might  conclude  that  "relief" 
may  be  cold  without  an  admixture  of  "brotherly  love." 
Scotland  really  knows  how! 

Grand  Lodge  Benevolence  falls  under  three  main  heads: 
(1)  grants,  including  Christmas  parcels,  to  brethren  and 
dependents  living  at  home;  (2)  annuities  to  brethren  and 
dependents  and  to  children  of  deceased  brethren  living  at 
home;  (3)  home  care  in  two  Masonic  Homes,  Ault  Wharrie 
and  Randolph  Hill. 

"Money  gifts  are  always  appreciated  and  can  be  used 
to  overcome  all  kinds  of  difficulties.  Christmas  percels  have 
proved  very  acceptable  not  only  for  the  good  things  they 
contain  but  also  for  the  thought  conveyed  with  them  of 
being  remembered  at  Christmas  time."  It  is  recommended 
that  "Lodges  be  advised  to  appoint  as  lodge  almoner  a 
brother  of  experience  so  that  by  his  leadership  he  may  be 
able  to  stimulate  within  the  Lodge  a  richer  sense  of  Masonic 
benevolence." 

Grants  ranging  from  $60.  to  $150.  were  made  to  16 
students  to  assist  them,  the  majority  in  their  university 
studies,  some  in  training  for  teaching,  one  in  glass  bending, 
and  one  in  Occupational  Therapy.  This  is  one  of  the  best 
means   of   assisting  youth. 


66  GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA 

To  read  of  the  many  and  varied  activities  -of  the  Grand 
Lodge  of  Scotland  makes  one  more  proud  than  ever  to  be  a 
Freemason. 


Annual   Communication — November  30 

This  was  the  occasion  of  the  Installation,  for  the  third 
consecutive  year,  of  the  Grand  Master  Mason,  Brother  the 
Right  Honourable  the  Earl  of  Eglinton  and  Winton.  It  was  a 
most  impressive  ceremony. 

The  Grand  Master  Mason,  addressing  the  brethren 
briefly  after  he  ascended  the  throne,  stated  that  Grand  Lodge 
had  once  again  had  a  useful  and  successful  year.  He  had 
been  greatly  pleased  that  a  new  Lodge  had  been  erected  and 
consecrated  in  the  metropolitan  district  and  he  congratulated 
the  Provincial  Grand  Master  of  Glasgow  on  the  addition  of 
the  eightieth  Lodge  to  their  number.  He  went  on  to  say, 
"We  still  have  a  Ion  a-  way  to  go.  We  have  a  number  of 
growing  towns  within  Scotland  and  I  should  like  to  see  our 
Scottish  Freemasonry  keening  abreast  of  this  development. 
Do  let  us  have  more  Lodges,  brethren,  with  smaller  total 
memberships  so  that  the  interest  and  work  may  be  spread 
over  a  greater  number  of  office-bearers.  Quite  a  number 
of  Lodges  are  now  only  putting  through  one,  two,  or  at 
most  three  candidates  at  one  meeting  and  there  is  no 
question  whatever  that  these  candidates  have  a  much  clearer 
conception  of  our  great  Masonic  principles." 

He  announced  that  the  number  of  grants  from  the  Fund 
of  Scottish  Benevolence  and  the  Annuity  Fund  showed  c.n 
increase  in  both  cases.  Further  he  said,  "Our  voluntary 
donations  from  the  Daughter  Lodges  are  not  sufficient  to 
meet  our  various  benevolent  commitments.  We  have  to 
depend  on  the  interest  from  our  invested  funds.  We  should 
endeavour  to  mak»  on1*  co-rebribr«tTn-ns  meet  all  our  benevolent 
outlays  and  I  would  ask  every  Lodge  to  give  serious  thought 
to  this." 

In  due  course  there  followed  that  same  evening  the 
Festval  of  St.  Andrew,  the  highlight  of  the  year  for  every 
Scot,  the  function  when  the  foundation  slogan  is.  "I  trust 
we  shall  have  but  one  aim,  to  please  each  other  and  to  unite 
in  the  Trand  desifm  of  hein0-  haopv  °nd  communicatmsr  hao- 
piness."  "On  this  hanpy  day,"  said  one  sneaker,  "on  this 
dav  of  Andrpw.  the  fisher  of  men.  the  Aoo&tle.  the  Saint  and 
Mi?  =  'onary,  Patron  of  Scotland,  we  should  go  back  from  this 
gathering  rejoicing  still  more  in  the  privilege  we  have  of 
associating  as  free  men  and  Freemasons." 

Said  the  Grand  Master  Mason  again,  "We  may  claim 
with   pride   that   the    roots    of  Freemasonry   are   deeper  in 


FRATERNAL  CORRESPONDENCE  67 

Scotland  than  anywhere  else  in  the  world  and  it  has  ever 
been  the  boast  of  our  Scottish  Freemason  that  his  work  has 
been  good  work  and  square  work." 

Preceding1  the  Annual  Communication  there  had  been, 
on  November  5th,  1959,  a  Quarterly  Communication  devoted 
to  reports  and  general  business.

Lodges,   198.  Membership,  26,905.  Gain,   640. 

To  maintain  unchanged  and  unsullied  the  ancient 
traditions  of  Freemasonry,  to  preserve  dignity  and  decorum 
in  conduct  and  in  dress,  to  provide  adequately  for  aged  and 
infirm  brethren  and  dependents  of  deceased  brethren,  and  to 
assist  sons  and  daughters  of  Masons  who  are  willing  and 
able  to  benefit  by  educational  facilities — these  are  some  of 
the  objectives  of  this  admirable  Grand  Lodge  which  was 
established  on  April  17th,  1884. 

At  the  previous  Annual  Communication,  scholarships  No. 

17  and  18  were  established  and  to  these  were  added,  at  this 
Annual  Communication,  Nos.  19  and  20:  each  scholarship 
to  be  of  the  annual  value  of  S150.     Children  of  ages  10  to 

18  years  inclusive  are  eligible  and  the  scholarships  are  to  be 
awarded  "for  the  education  of  necessitous,  not  necessarily 
brilliant,  pupils." 

One  of  the  country  Lodges  had  reported,  said  the 
President  of  the  Board,  (hat  a  movement  was  on  foot  to 
establish  a  so-called  Masonic  fraternity,  restricted  to  women. 
That  Lodge  was  warned  "that  members  of  the  craft  are 
absolutely  forbidden  to  have  anything  whatsoever  to  do  with 
that  or  any  like  organization."  There  was  no  reflection  on 
the  organization  itself  but  a  Mason  whose  wife,  sister,  or 
daughter  might  happen  to  be  associated  with  it  "must 
exercise  the  utmost  tact  and  discretion"  to  avoid  attending 
any  of  its  social  functions. 

"The  President  also  referred  to  the  matter  of  smoking 
while  wearing  resralia.  He  asked  that  the  brethren  should 
observe  the  order  banning  smokin?  in  regalia.  Some  brethren 
seemed  to  think  they  were  observing  the  prohibition  by  turn- 
ing their  aprons  around.  By  such  action  they  were  doing 
something  which  was  undignified   and,   in  fact,  aggravated

the  offence.  If  brethren  wished  to  smoke,  they  should  see 
that  their  regalia  was  taken  off  before  doing  so.  He  hoped 
that  brethren  would  pay  heed  to  the  matter."  (This  quotation 
is  from  the  Board's  report.) 

At  present  the  Grand  Lodge  has  four  pairs  of  cottage 
homes  in  one  place  and  two  in  another.  Some  are  three- 
roomed;  some  are  four-roomed;  no  rental  is  charged.  Ap- 
proval was  given  for  the  construction  of  "flatlets"  (a  new 
word  to  us),  at  a  cost  of  $69,000.  for  the  accommodation  of 
aged  brethren  and  aged  widows. 

A  Lodge  enquired  "whether  it  would  be  permissible  to 
wear  some  attire  cooler  than  the  usual  evening  clothes 
during  the  summer  months."  The  Grand  Master  gave  ap- 
proval to  wearing  "white  mess  jackets  during  the  summer 
months  so  lone  as  black  trousers,  socks,  and  shoes  and  a 
white  shirt  and  collar  with  a  black  bow  tie  are  worn  with  the 
jacket." 

Summonses  should  be  mailed,  said  the  Grand  Master,  in 
sealed  envelopes.  Ganvassine  for  office,  by  a  candidate  or 
by  his  friends,  is  strictly  forbidden.

Grand  Master— M.W.  Bro.  T.  H.  Pope 

Lodges,  300.  Membership,   56,513.  Gain,  820. 

M.W.  Bro.  Harry  L.  Martyn  represented  our  Grand 
Lodge  at  this  Communication;  for  some  years  there  has  been 
a  close  connection  of  kindred  spirits  between  this  Grand 
Lodge  and  ours. 

Here  is  a  Grand  Master  whose  example  others  might 
well  emulate.  He  said,  "I  have  not  accepted  invitations  to 
ladies'  night  banquets  nor  have  I  been  able  to  attend  meet- 
ings of  individual  Lodges  except  on  special  occasions.  Time 
simply  will  not  permit  a  Grand  Master  who  must  earn  his 
livelihood  to  do  all  of  the  things  which  would  be  pleasant 
but  which  are  time-consuming  and  physically  exhausting." 
Grand  Masters  have  been  known  to  wreck  their  health  by 
trying  to  do  too  much.  There  were  Special  Communications 
for  the  laying  of  the  corner-stones  of  three  Temples1  and 
for  the  dedication  of  seven,  all  of  which  indicates  progress. 
The  lodge  secretaries  furnished  the  Grand  Master  with  the 
names  and  addresses  of  645  newly-raised  brethren  (with 
dates  of  raising),  and  he  wrote  individual  letters  to  each 
of  these  new  members. 


FRATERNAL  CORRESPONDENCE  69 

A  candidate  declined  to  answer  a  question  on  his  application 
form  because,  being  a  Canadian,  he  was  unwilling  to  take 
an  obligation  to  uphold  the  Constitution  of  the  United  States. 
There  are  no  requirements  that  an  applicant  must  be  a 
citizen  of  the  U.S.A.  and  so  the  Grand  Master  directed  that 
he  be  asked  to  answer  an  additional  question  which  was 
"Are  you  willing  to  assume  an  obligation  which  will  bind 
you  to  uphold  the  Constitution  of  the  United  States  of 
America  insofar  as  such  obligation  does  not  conflict  with 
your  allegiance  to  the  British  Crown."  If  he  replied  in  the 
affirmative,  he  would  be  eligible;  if  in  the  negative,  his 
application  could  not  be  ballotted  on. 

A  surprising  question  was  this.  "May  a  constituent 
Lodge  finance  a  building  programme  by  the  lottery  of  an 
automobile?"  The  answer  was  "No",  of  course,  not  only 
because  lotteries  are  prohibited  in  the  State  but  also  because, 
as  the  Grand  Master  said,  "Such  a  scheme  would  violate 
the  tenets  of  Freemasonry  and  would  tend  to  degrade  the 
Fraternity  in  the  eyes  of  man.  As  an  honourable  institution, 
respected  by  mankind.  Freemasonry  must  be  prepared  to 
pay   its   own   way."     Heartily  we  agree. 

Masonic  Education  in  South  Carolina  continues  to  be 
handled  in  large  measure  through  the  "district  inspirational 
meetings"  and  through  the  pages  of  the  magazine  "Masonic 
Light." 

There  was  discussion  of  a  proposal  that  Grand  Lodge 
take  over  the  ownership  and  management  of  an  existing 
college  and  make  it  a  Masonic  University.  Masons  in  our 
country,  who  are  university  men,  will  hope  for  South 
Carolina's  sake  that  they  don't  step  into  that!

Lodges,  168.  Membership,  21,414  Loss,  20. 

In  his  Address  the  Grand  Master  stated  that  a  four-point 
programme  had  been  adopted  at  the  beginning  of  his  year 
and  that  it  had  been  well  carried  on  by  the  officers  to  whom 
each  phase  of  the  work  had  been  entrusted.  The  first,  which 
\\  as  handed  to  the  Junior  Grand  Warden,  was  Masonry  ajid 
Americanism:  the  second,  which  was  in  the  hands  of  the 
Deputy  Grand  Master,  was  the  Masonic  Service  Association; 
the  fourth,  under  the  direction  of  the  Senior  Grand  Warden, 
was  Public  Schools  and  Youth  Organizations;  and  the  Grand 
Chaplain  took  over  Masonry  and  the  Church.     In  so  doing 


70  GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA 

the  Grand  Master  proved  himself  to  be  a  good  executive,  a 
good  organizer;  he  attended  24  District  Meetings  and  visited 
widely. 

The  Grand  Master  made  certain  very  definite  recom- 
mendations; that  membership  in  the  Mid-West  Conference  on 
Masonic  Education  be  continued;  that  publication  of  the 
"Masonic  Messenger"  be  continued;  that  a  committee  on 
Public  Schools  be  appointed  with  an  appropriation  of  $150; 
and  that  official  recognition  be  given  to  the  Order  of  De 
Molay  and  to  Job's  Daughters,  constituent  Lodges  having 
authority  to  sponsor  them  financially. 

The  Grand  Secretary  expressed  deep  regret  that,  in 
his  17th  and  his  18th  reports  to  Grand  Lodge,  he  had  been 
obliged  to  record  a  loss  in  membership.  This  had  never 
happened  before  and  he  hopes  it  will  not  be  the  case  from 
now  on.  Let  us  heartily  agree  with  him.  Annual  dues  paid 
by  Lodges  are  $2.00  for  each  Master  Mason.  In  most  Grand 
Lodges  in  the  United  States  the  word  "tellers"  is  used  where 
we  use  the  word  "scrutineers".  South  Dakota  has  a  flag 
of  its  own,  as  our  Nova  Scotia  has.  Masonic  Education 
has  an  annual  appropriation  of  $1,500.00. 

In  his  Report  the  Fraternal  Correspondent,  a  canny 
Scot,  and  a  kindred  spirit  with  our  mutual  friend,  M.W.  Bro. 
William  Douglas  of  Manitoba,  terms  the  Grand  Lodge  of 
England,  "the  Mother  of  us  all";  but,  of  course,  being  a 
Scot,  qualifies  this  by  saying  that  Old  Mother  Kilwinning, 
now  number  zero  in  the  register  of  the  Grand  Lodge  of 
Scotland,  sponsored  other  Lodges  and  set  them  to  work. 
Mary's  Chapel,  Edinburgh  Lodge  No.  1,  has,  he  states,  a 
longer  history,  accompanied  by  proof,  than  Kilwinning. 
However,  though  "it  is  quite  an  admission  for  a  Scotsman 
to  make",  he  does  admit  that  "the  spread  of  Masonry  to 
America  began  with  the  Grand  Lodge  of  England."  All 
through  that  competent  Reviewer's  work  there  is  abundant 
evidence  of  Scottish  originality. 

Freemasonry  in  South  Dakota  is  in  good  hands  and  this 
Reviewer  wishes  the  Grand  Master  and  his  officers  the 
best  of  success.

The  Grand  Lodge  of  Tasmania  holds  Half- Yearly  Com- 
munications,  the   previous   one   being   on   August   30,  1958. 


FRATERNAL  CORRESPONDENCE  71 

The  business  of  the  Grand  Lodge  is  under  the  supervision 
of  the  Board  of  General  Purposes  and  the  Board  of  Bene- 
volence. The  reports  of  the  two  Boards  suggest  careful 
attention  to  business  of  Grand  Lodge.  The  Benevolent  Fund 
Account  showed  a  balance  of  Assets  of  i47,127;10s;6d. 

The  Lodges  are  organized  into  four  Districts — Southern, 
Northern.  North  Western  and  Western.  The  Grand  Inspecor 
of  each  district  submitted  a  brief  report  on  the  condition  of 
Masonry  in  his  district.  Generally  the  work  appears  to  be 
of  high  calibre. 

The  Grand  Master's  Address  reviewed  his  year's  efforts 
and  emphasized  especially  the  progress  of  Schemes  by  the 
Masonic  Peace  Memorial  Haven  Committee  and  the  Southern 
Tasmania  Masonic  Home  Association.  He  referred  to  the 
various  effects,  particularly  those  in  Hobart  and  Launceston 
as  "Applied  Masonry." 

The  new  Grand  Master,  M.W.  Bro.  H.  V.  Jones,  was 
installed  during  the  afternoon  ceremonies.  Visitors  were 
present  from  Queensland,  Western  Australia,  Victoria,  New 
South  Wales  and  South  Australia.  M.W.  Bro.  Jones  gave 
a  very  impressive  address  indicating  the  tremendous  task 
imposed  on  him  by  the  many  meritorious  measures  of  his 
predecessors.  He  said;  "Opinions  may  alter,  manners  may 
change,  creeds  may  rise  and  fall,  but  the  moral  law,  as 
understood  by  Freemasons,  is  immutable;  it  is  written  on 
the  tablets  of  enternity."

Lodges,  68.  Membership,  8,631.  Gain,  13. 

Eleven  Lodges  were  not  represented  at  this  Communic- 
ation, the  reason  given  being  this;  "As  the  agenda  on  this 
occasion  contained  nothing  of  a  contentious  nature,  this 
probably  accounts-  for  there  being  more  Lodges  not  represent- 
ed than  usual."  (In  our  country  a  controversy  at  Grand 
Lodge  is  an  extremely  rare  occurence.) 

This  Grand  Lodge  carries  on  efficiently  in  the  English 
tradition  and,  of  course,  stresses  benevolence.  Relief  was 
given  to  Masons,  their  widows  and  children  to  the  extent  of 
$5,700,  an  increase  of  nearly  $1,000  over  the  same  period 
the  year  before.  34  widows  and  dependants  of  deceased 
Masons  and  14  brethren  participated  in  the_  financial  assist- 
ance provided.  At  the  Annual  Communication  Grand  Lodge 
agreed  to  distribute  a  surplus  over  and  above  $3,000  in  its 
No.  2  benevolent  fund  account  to  the  two  Masonic  Homes. 


72  GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA 

Installation  collections  were  not  as  great  as  in  the  previous 
year.  (For  a  small  Grand  Lodge  this  is  an  excellent  record.) 

"Pensions  to-day  are  insufficient  to  meet  the  necessities 
for  living  and  the  Board  is  endeavouring  to  relieve  the  strain 
and  stress  of  our  aged  brethren  and  widows1  wherever  pos- 
sible." Brethren  were  asked  to  continue  and,  if  possible,  to 
increase  their  contributions. 

The  Grand  Master  conducted  Installations  in  all  centres 
of  the  State  and  was  impressed  with  the  vitality  evident  in 
almost  all  the  Lodges  he  visited.  He  commended  the  custom 
in  many  Lodges  to  have  at  least  one  special  church  service 
during  the  year  and  expressed  the  hope  that  all  Tasmanian 
Freemasons  would  give  a  lead  in  assisting  church  activities 
and  in  correct  observance  of  a  Sunday. 

For  disseminating  so  much  interesting  and  instructive 
information  and  for  providing  instructors  he  commended 
highly  the  two  Lodges  of  Research.  He  deplored  the  practice 
of  asking  candidates  to  repeat  only  a  portion  of  the  obligation 
and  instisted  that  the  whole  of  each  obligation  must  be 
memorized. 

To  the  stewards  he  issued  instructions  regarding  the 
conduct  of  the  festive  board.  "It  is  not  true  hospitality,"  he 
said,  "to  force  drink  on  brethren  or  to  open  bottles  of  liquor 
in  excess  of  requirements.  Further,  when  the  W.M.  leaves 
the  festive  board,  on  no  account  should  more  liquor  be  con- 
sumed there  or  within  the  precincts  of  the  building." 

Some  Lodges  were  giving  thought  to  the  problem  of  the 
falling  off  in  attendance  of  their  own  members,  the  Grand 
Master  found,  and  he  outlined  a  few  of  his  own  ideas  on  the 
causes  of  this,  as  follows:  (a)  Admission  of  men  who  cannot 
appreciate  Freemasonry;  (b)  the  deadening  effect  of  constant 
degree  work;  (c)  the  lack  of  suitable  instruction;  (d)  the 
lack  of  attention  to  fellowship  within  the  Lodge;  (e)  the 
undignified  conduct  of  some  members;  and  (e)  the  waste  of 
time  before  and  after  the  ceremony. 

The  Grand  Lodge  of  Tasmania  is  fully  entitled  to  our 
respect  and  our  admiration  for  the  excellent  work  it  is  doing 
in  a  quiet  way.

ence, whose  Chairman  is  M.W.  Bro.  W.  P.  Douglas,  concern 


FRATERNAL  CORRESPONDENCE  73 

is  expressed  over  the  small  attendance  at  lodge  meetings 
which  is  more  in  evidence  in  large,  metropolitan  Lodges  than 
in  the  smaller  rural  and  suburban  Lodges.  Reference  is  made 
to  the  part  taken  by  our  Past  Grand  Master.  M.W.  Bro.  H.  L. 
Martyn,  in  the  Conference  of  Grand  Masters  in  Washington 
and  emphatic  commendation  is  given  to  our  organization  of 
Districts  and  their  "teams"  consisting  of  the  District  Deputy 
Grand  Master,  the  District  Secretary,  the  District  Chaplain, 
and  the  District  Chairman  of  Masonic  Education.  Referring 
to  the  work  of  our  Late  M.W.  Bro.  N.  C.  Hart,  the  Report 
says,  "His  very  fine  Report  covers  185  pages  and  affords  an 
excellent  opportunity  for  the  interested  brother  to  find  out 
what  is  going  on  in  the  Masonic  World." 

Illegal  and  unmasonic  electioneering  is  forbidden  by  an 
edict  issued  in  1875;  members  are  now  reminded  of  this  law. 
Annual  membership  dues  vary  from  $3.00  to  $25.00,  the  rate 
in  172  Lodges  being  $5.00;  fees  for  degrees  vary  from  $35.00 
to  $100.00  Fifteen  Lodges  did  not  confer  any  degrees 
during  the  year  but  another  Lodge  conferred  221  degrees 
while  two  others  conferred  respectively  177  and  151  degrees. 
A  proposal  to  give  every  lodge  secretary  a  vote  in  Grand 
Lodge  was  not  approved. 

Much  thought  and  effort  "have  been  devoted  to  the 
formulation  and  development  of  a  plan  of  education  designed 
to  enlighten  the  brethren,  stimulate  lodge  attendance,  and 
indoctrinate  new  members."  It  is  the  expectation  of  the 
members  of  the  Committee  that  "this  plan,  when  perfected, 
will  be  of  unlimited  benefit  to  the  Fraternity."  We  wish 
them  the  best  of  success. 

This  Edict  was  issued:  "Any  Lodge  failing  to  have  its 
return  in  the  hands  of  the  Grand  Secretary  by  12  o'clock  on 
January  25th  or  to  pay  its  Grand  Lodge  dues  to  the  Grand 
Secretary  by  9  o'clock,  a.m.  on  February  10th,  shall  pay 
as  a  penalty  5^  on  the  amount  owing  to  the  Grand  Lodge 
for  the  per  capita  and  tax  on  degrees."  Many  Grand  Lodges 
seem  to  have  a  good  deal  of  trouble  with  lodge  secretaries! 
There  are  six  pages  of  a  list  of  extinct  Lodges  which  have 
gone  out  of  existence  from  the  year  1796  to  1948. 

"Lodges  are  prohibited  from  receiving  a  lecture  on  any 
of  the  degrees  of  Masonry  from  initerant  lecturers,  except 
such  lecturer  present  proper  authority  from  the  Grand 
Master."     Edict   11. 

"No  person  shall  be  initiated,  passed,  or  raised  in  any 
subordinate  Lodge  in  this  Jurisdiction  who  is  engaged  in 
the  manufacture  for  sale  or  in  the  sale  of  intoxicating  liquor 
as  a  beverage".     Edict  59.     Is  this  really  logical  and  fair? 

"The  Grand  Lodge  of  Tennessee  condemns  and  forbids 
the   purchase,    sale   or   use,   within  this   Jurisdiction,  of  all 


74  GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA 

written  keys,  ciphers,  notes,  or  characters  of  any  kind  what- 
soever, purporting  to  be  descriptive  of  the  secret  work, 
lectures,  or  ritual  of  the  three  symbolic  degrees  of  Masonry." 
Edict  62.

Though  this  Grand  Lodge  achieved  a  reasonable  gain 
in  membership  during  the  year,  the  Grand  Master  saw  need 
for  improvement.  He  pointed  out  that,  in  general,  Lodges  are 
more  interested  in  making  members  than  in  making  Masons. 
Desperately  reeded,  he  said,  are  better  informed  Masons  and 
more  enthusiastic  leadership  from  the  officers  of  the  con- 
stituent; Lodges.  The  Lodge  System  of  Masonic  Education 
would,  in  his  opinion,  produce  excellent  results.  This  pro- 
gramme is  designed  to  be  carried  on  by  the  constituent 
Lodges  rather  than  by  an  independent  organization.  The 
candidate  meets  with  the  committee  four  times  and  is  in- 
structed in  the  fundamentals  of  the  Craft  which  every 
Mason  should  know.  The  material  to  be  used  at  'these 
meetings  was  printed  in  a  booklet  and  distributed  to  every 
Master.  It  is  reprinted  in  the  Proceedings,  covering  46 
pages;  in  the  hands  of  enthusiastic  teachers  it  should  prove 
to  be  a  brilliant  success.  This  was  the  Grand  Master's  "tour 
de  force." 

More  and  more  the  leaders  of  the  Craft  are  stressing,  as 
this  Grand  Master  does,  the  well-known  but  'too  frequently 
forgotten  fact  that  "the  key  to  making  Freemasonry  a  living 
vital  force  in  every  community  lies  in  the  hands  of  the 
officers  of  the  constituent  Lodges" — and  many  add  that 
the  "key  man"  is  the  Master.  In  Texas  there  were  complaints 
that  many  newly-raised  Master  Masons  were  refusing  or 
neglecting  to  take  the  necessary  examination ;  however,  a 
survey  showed  that  only  approximately  25  per  cent  of  the 
Lodges  had  unexamined  Master  Masons.  Another  problem, 
which  crops  up  almost  everywhere,  is  the  poor  attendance  and 
this  Grand  Master  wonders  why  so  many  members  cannot 
attend  once  a  month;  as  he  says,  this  is  really  not  asking  a 
great  deal. 

In  the  Masonic  School  there  wTere  133  boys  and  185  girls 
and  in  the  Home  for  Aged  Masons  there  were  77  widows. 

There  are  124  pages  of  interesting  Reviews,  the  author 
being  R.W.  Bro.  M.  A.  Childers,  P.G.M.     Among  these  is  a

and  radiates  the  spirit  of  Masonry  in  his  contacts  with  other 
people."  (So  say  we  all.)

Lodges,    31.  Membership,    6,838.  Gain,    15. 

The  Proceedings  of  the  Free  and  Accepted  Masons  of 
Utah  for  1959  commence  with  a  short  biographical  sketch  of 
Charles  Leandar  Prisk  who  was  elected  Grand  Master  for 
the  year  1959 — 1960.  He  is  a  pharmacist  in  business,  and 
for  38  years  has  attended  the  First  Methodist  Church  in 
Salt  Lake  City.  He  has  been  an  enthusiastic  Mason  since 
he  reached  the  age  of  21. 

The  Committee  on  Credentials  reported  that  all  Grand 
Lodge  Officers  were  present,  and  that  representatives  from 
30  constituent  Lodges  were  in  attendance. 

During  the  year  two  new  Lodges  were  constituted  by 
M.W.  Bro.  W.  E.  Cushing  and  their  officers  installed,  and 
one  Lodge  had  been  transferred  to  a  new  location. 

The  Grand  Master  reported  the  Craft  to  be  healthy  and 
prosperous  throughout  the  Grand  Jurisdiction  and  that  the 
small  increase  in  membership  was  due  to  business  conditions. 
He  visited  every  Lodge  in  the  jurisdiction  and  the  Washington 
Conference  of  Grand  Masters.  He  refers  to  his  various 
visits,  changes  in  By-laws,  and  dispensations  granted. 

Five  bulletins  were  issued  and  distributed  by  Grand 
Lodge  during  the  year.  Three  Masonic  Clubs  operated 
during  the  year. 

The  Grand  Master  expressed  his  appreciation  of  the 
assistance  he  had  received  from  the  Grand  Secretary  Emeri- 
tus, Past  Grand  Master  Emery  R.  Gibson,  and  from  the 
present  Grand  Secretary. 


76  GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA 

George  W.  MeRae  is  the  representative  of  the  Grand

representative  of  Canada  near  Utah  is  recorded. 

The  Committee  on  Charity  reported  the  expenditure  of  a 
couple  of  small  sums  on  benevolence.  The  Board  of  Trustees 
reports  cash  investments  of  over  $17,500.00,  Total  funds 
accounted  for  are  $102,920.05,  an  increase  of  over  $7,000.00. 

The  Committee  on  Necrology  presented  a  report  en- 
titled "Branded"  and  referred  to  physical,  mental  and  spirit- 
ual features.

powerful  address  on,  "The  Impact  of  Social,  Political  and 
Economic  Forces  on  National  Sovereignty." 

The  Committee  on  Fraternal  Relations  recommended 
recognition  of  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Japan.  The  Committee 
on  Masonic  Education  is  active  and  asked  for  an  appropriation 
of  $750.00  for  the  year. 

At  the  end  of  the  Proceedings  the  members  of  the 
various  constituent  Lodges  are  listed.  The  new  Grand 
Master,  Charles  Leander  Prisk  and  his  officers  were  duly 
installed.

"The  losing  trend  continues  (in  1958  it  was  123)  and  it 
is  hard  to  understand  why,  unless  the  reason  may  be  found 
in  ian  indifferent  leadership  dn  too  many  Lodges."  Ten 
Lodges  did  no  work  whatever  in  the  third  degree.  May  we 
suggest  that,  almost  everywhere,  too  many  Masters  prize  the 
honour  but  neglect  the  responsibility? 

In  his  Address  the  Grand  Master  made  what  many  of 
us  would  consider  a  revolutionary  suggestion — well  meant, 
of  course,  but  not  often  heard.  Speaking  of  the  losses  in 
membership,  he  said,  "As  soon  as  you  return  to  your  homes 
I  strongly  recommend  that  the  Masters  and  Wardens  make 
a  survey  of  your  Lodge's  jurisdiction,  compile  a  list  of  all 
the  fine  men  in  your  community  who  are  not  members  of 
the  Craft,  you  will  be  amazed.  .  .  .  After  you  have  this  list, 
and  be  sure  it  comprises  good  men,  put  some  good  Masonic

literature  in  their  hands,  tell  them  a  goodly  bit  of  our 
charities,  our  motive  and  our  ideals.  Give  them  a  copy  of 
our  booklet  entitled  'What  is  Freemasonry?'  Thus  you 
will  arouse  a  man's  interest  that  he  may  ask  for  a  petition." 
If  this  is  not  solicitation,  how  close  is  it? 

The  Grand  Lecturer  delivered  a  fine  address  in  which 
he  reminded  his  hearers  that  the  art  of  conversation  and  the 
art  of  letter-writing  have  been  lost  in  our  mad  rush  through 
life  and  that  we  should  take  time  for  thinking  and  for 
retrospect. 

The  Grand  Master  was  not  satisfied  with  the  attendance 
at  the  district  meetings  and  asked  that  the  Master  and  the 
Wardens  of  each  Lodge  consider  themselves  a  special  com- 
mittee to  ensure  greatly  improved  attendance.  One  of  his 
pet  projects  was  the  establishment  of  Lodges  of  Instruction, 
the  success  of  which  has  been  only  moderate  because  the 
deputies  did  not  make  as  much  use  of  the  Committee  on 
Masonic  Education  as  they  might  have  done.  The  average 
attendance  was  30.  He  hoped  for  better  success  in  the 
second  year.  He  recommended  also  an  increase  in  the  per 
capita  tax  from  $1.00  to  $1.50  plus  a  50-cent  per  capita  for 
charity  and  another  50-cent  levy  for  temple  repair  for  the 
next  two  years.  The  Committee  did  not  fully  approve  but 
recommended  a  slight  variation. 

The  Grand  Lodge  Library  has  been  at  a  standstill  for 
some  time,  partly  on  account  of  uncertainty  regarding  the 
ultimate  location  of  the  Grand  Lodge  offices.  The  Com- 
mittee on  the  Grand  Master's  Address  reported,  in  part: 
"Our  Grand  Master  has  made  some  very  realistic  suggestions. 
In  an  era  of  intense  competition,  it  is  patent  folly  to  assume 
that  we  can  fold  our  hands  and  wait  while  the  youth  comes 
knocking  for  admission  at  our  tiled  doors.  The  light  of 
Masonry,  bright  as  it  is,  should  not  be  hidden  undler  a 
bushel.  While  no  one  would  recommend  a  'drive'  for  mem- 
bers to  alter  the  tide  of  shrinking  membership,  there  is  not 
even  an  unwritten  law  against  some  intelligent  strategy." 
We  have  heard  of  "strategy"  at  times. 

The  Committee  on  Masonic  Education  proposes  to 
adopt  the  Ohio  system  which  it  is  prepared  to  outline  in 
detail  at  the  district  meetings.

78  GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA 

Grand  Secretary  detects  a  trend  downward  among  the  larger 
Dodges  in  the  metropolitan  area  because  the  population  is 
moving  gradually  to  the  suburbs;  he  is  alarmed  that  the 
death  rate  increases  more  rapidly  than  does  the  number  of 
additions;  and  he  notes  that  the  problem  of  low  attendance  at 
lodge  meetings  needs  a  great  deal  of  attention.  He  suggests 
that  Masonic  Education  is  one  of  the  answers  to  this  problem. 

Reporting  on  Masonic  Education,  the  Committee  states 
that  "any  programme  of  education  is  a  continuing  project. 
It  is  ever  changing  to  meet  the  needs  of  a  changing  world. 
The  field  is  so  large,  the  need  so  great,  the  funds  so  limited, 
the  area  so  widespread,  and  at  times  the  co-operation  of 
those  who  have  the  greater  need  so  disappointing,  that  we 
must  encourage  by  even  the  least  constructive  effort."  It  is 
suggested  that  the  Masters'  and  Wardens'  Associations  would 
be  the  ideal  vehicle  for  Masonic  Education. 

There  is  a  Committee  on  Higher  Education  which  assists 
college  students  with  bursaries,  and  there  has  been  for  a 
year  a  Committee  on  the  True  Name  of  the  Grand  Lodge 
which  was  to  ascertain  "by  patient  research  the  basis  for 
numerous  changes  in  the  name  of  our  Grand  Lodge."  It  was 
called  at  one  time  "Free  and  Accepted  Masons";  again, 
"Ancient  York  Masons";  and  "Ancient,  Free  and  Accepted 
Masons."  The  task  is  much  greater  than  at  first  it  seemed 
to  be;  it  will  involve  much  correspondence  with  Garnd 
Secretaries;  so  far.  the  Committee  "has  been  unable  to  find 
any  reason  why  the  word,  'ancient'  appears  in  the  Grand 
Lodge  name;  but  hopes  to  make  a  complete  report  in  1960. 

Some  unusual  questions  were  asked  by  Lodges.  One 
was.  "Is  a  man  who  has  lost  the  Irbtle  finger  of  his  right 
hand  eligible  to  petition  a  Lodge?"  "He  is  not."  Another 
was,  "Is  a  man  who  has  lost  the  thumb  second  and  third 
fingers  of  his  left  hand  eligible  to  petition  a  Lodge?"  "He 
is." 

The  Committee  on  Masonic  Education  (with  a  longer 
name)  says  that  Masters  "are  aware  that  more  programmes 
of  a  non-ritualistic  nature  must  be  presented  at  their  meet- 
ings if  they  are  to  succeed  in  capturing  and  holding  the 
interest"  of  both  new  and  older  brethren.  So  the  Committee 
has  begun  distribution  of  service  letters,  brochures,  and 
recorded  speeches.  (Therip  must  surely  be  for  meetings  where 
there  is  no  degree  work.) 

Small  Lodges  are  having  a  tough  time.  Says  the  Grand 
Master,  "Populations  are  static  or  dwindling.  Young  men 
are  moving  to  larger  communities.  These  conditions  have 
reduced  some  of  our  Lodges  to  mere  existence."  Meetings 
are  not  held  regularly  and  some  charters  should  be  "lifted." 
Yet  he  ends  on  a  brighter  note,  "The  history  of  another  year 
in  the  long  and  glorious  life  of  this  Grand  Lodge  will  soon 
be  placed  in  its  archives".

(15  of  these  Lodges  are  in  Alaska.) 

The  Grand  Master  submitted  a  detailed  report  of  his 
varied  activities,  among  them  a  long  list  of  "permissions 
granted  for  return  of  fees".  A  father  and  two  sons  petitioned 
for  admission  the  same  evening;  one  son  was  rejected  and, 
on  demand,  the  fees  were  returned  to  the  father  and  the 
other  son,  both  of  whom  had  been  accepted.  A  petitioner 
passed  away  prior  to  balloting  and  the  fee  was  returned  to 
his  widow.  Another  applicant  was  committed  to  a  mental 
institution  before  being  investigated  and  still  another  was 
advised  by  his  church  that  its  communicants  were  prohibited 
from  becoming  members  of  the  Masonic  Order. 

In  one  case  the  Committee  on  Jurisprudence  disapproved 
of  the  Grand  Master's  liberality  in  authorizing  a  return  of 
fees.  In  our  country  no  one  has  ever  heard  of  official  dis- 
approval of  any  action  of  a  Grand  Master.  The  same  Com- 
mittee also  disapproved  of  the  Grand  Master's  decision  to 
authorize  a  Masonic  funeral  for  a  brother  who.  though  he 
had  been  given  the  third  degree,  had  not  oasred  his  profic- 
iencv  examination..  There  were  no  cases  for  the  Committee 
on  Grievances  and  Appeals  and  the  Committee  on  Charity 
had  no  appeals  for  relief  or  charity.  Apparently,  a  happy 
situation  in  each  case!  One  Lodge  was  refused  permission 
to  elect  as  an  Honorary  Past  Master  a  Senior  Warden  who 
was  no  longer  living. 

Past  Grand  Master  Winkels,  the  Reviewer,  submits  a 
fine  Foreword  and  then  goes  on  to  make  an  interesting 
suggestion.  He  says  that  something  should  be  done  about 
the  trend  to  organize  and  promote  clubs  and  other  organiz- 
ations which  require  membership  in  a  regular  Masonic  Lodge 
as  a  prerequisite  for  membership.  To  offset  this  trend  he 
suggests  a  "stepped -up"  programme  of  Masonic  Education 
and  as  part  of  such  a  programme  he  offers  the  Reviews 
which,  he  says,  are  authoritative,  concise,  comprehensive  and 
easily  read  in  a  minimum  of  time.  His  own  Reviews  are 
models. 

Like  many  other  Grand  Lodg-es  in  the  United  States, 
this  one  has  a  Committee  on  Public  School  Education.  This 
Committee  urges   members  of  Lodges  to  study  educational 


80  GRAND  LCDGE  OF  CANADA 

issues;   to  serve  on   school  committees;   and  to  offer  them- 
selves as  candidates  for  school  boards. 

Of  course,  after  due  preparation  and  expert  organization, 
the  Centennial  Celebration  was  a  great  success.  One  special 
feature  being'  the  sermon  preached  by  our  own  Past  Grand 
Master,  the  Most  Reverend  and  Most  Worshipful  Archbishop 
William  L.  Wright,  whose  topic  was  "The  Relevance  of 
Masonry  To-day,"  and  who  dealt  eloquently  with  the  develop- 
ment of  character  under  three  headings — Reverance,  Integrity, 
Religious-  Conviction.

"The  Masonic  Social  Welfare  Management"  Committee 
is  instructed,  according  to  its  constitution,  (a)  to  provide 
Christmas    cheer   to  children   in   institutions    and    hospitals; 

(b)  to  conduct  an  annual  Christmas  paity  for  children;  and 

(c)  to  provide  scholarships  and  arrange  for  assistance  in 
educational  matters  for  children  of  Freemasons.  The  Com- 
mittee's funds  are  to  be  derived  from  voluntary  subscriptions 
and  donations  by  individual  Masons  and  Masonic  bodies;  from 
legacies:  and  from  special  festivals  and  any  other  approved 
means  that  may  be  devised.  There  is  a  Widows,  Orphans, 
and  Aged  Masons'  Fund. 

Two  new  Lodges  were  established.  The  Grand  Master 
sent  out  a  questionnaire  asking  each  Lodge  for  the  number 
of  country  members;  the  average  attendance  at  meetings; 
what  steps  are  taken  to  interest  those  who  do  not  attend; 
the  nature  of  any  meetings  other  than  the  regular  meetings; 
what  Masonic  books  or  journals  are  made  available  to  mem- 
bers; what  is  done  in  the  way  of  general  Masonic  Education; 
in  what  church  services  does  the  Lodge  participate:  what 
social  functions  are  arranged?  The  answers  to  these  questions 
would  surely  provide  valuable  information  and  the  questions 
themselves  wouM.  no  doubt,  arouse  interest  and  action  in 
many  of  the  Lodges. 

"For  some  considerable  time  a  Committee  of  the  Board 
has  been  very  concerned  at  the  nature  of  the  lectures  given 
in  the  Lodge  of  Research  and  has  examined  those  given 
more  recently.  Some  of  these  are  of  a  controversial  nature 
and  would  be  quite  unsuitable  for  use  in  Craft  Lodges."  This 
quotation  is  from  the  Report  of  the  Board  of  General  Pur- 


FRATERNAL  CORRESPONDENCE  81 

poses  which  goes  on  to  say  that  the  Lodge  of  Research  is 
not  an  agency  of  Grand  Lodge  and  is  not  to  be  regarded 
as  a  source  of  authorative  statements.  Some  of  the  lectures 
are  of  considerable  interest  academically  but  are  of  no  sign- 
ificance in  a  Craft  atmosphere  and  a  warning  has  been  issued 
that  religious  and  theological  topics  must  be  avoided.  For 
example,  three  lectures  have,  quite  properly,  been  banned; 
these  were,  (a)  "The  Literary  Background  of  the  V.S.L."; 
(b)  "The  First  Masonic  Response";  and  (c)  "An  Archaeolog- 
ical Confirmation  of  the  V.S.L."  (This  is  a  significant 
situation  which  will  be  of  interest  in  many  Grand  Jurisdic- 
tions.) 

How  careful  many  Grand  Lodges  are  regarding  attire 
worn  at  lodge  meetings!  Here  is  the  recommendation. 
"Either  full  evening  dress  (with  white  bow  tie  and  white 
waistcoat)  or  dinner  jacket  (with  black  bow  tie)  shall  be 
worn  by  every  brother  attending  a  lodge  meeting.  The  apron 
shall  be  worn  outside  the  coat,  except  when  full  evening 
dress  is  worn.  White  gloves  are  to  be  worn  by  all  brethren 
except  when  conditions  are  oppressive  (between  December 
1st  and  April  30th)".  Then  there  is  a  special  concession  to 
Lodges  north  of  the  26th  parallel. 

A  proposal  to  establish  a  Masonic  Residential  Home 
was  rejected  by  the  Lodges — 73  were  in  favour;  135  against; 
96,  no  response.

Lodges,   163.  Membership,  48,254.  Gain,  240. 

The  Grand  Master  stated,  in  his  Address,  that  he  had 
found  the  Craft  in  West  Virginia  to  be  in  excellent  condition. 
The  Lodges  had  been  active,  he  said,  in  conferring  degrees 
and  the  members  were  showing  a  keen  interest  in  Masonic 
matters.  The  Masonic  Home  he  had  found  to  be  beautiful, 
well-equipped  and  efficiently  managed. 

In  considering  the  future  of  the  Masonic  Home,  (in  which 
there  were  52  residents),  whether  it  should  be  expanded  or 
not,  a  special  committee  reported,  in  part,  as  follows:  "We 
must  always  consider  the  possibility,  and  we  believe  it  to  be 
a  real  possibility,  that,  with  rapid  socialization  of  our 
economy,  there  may  come  a  time  in  the  not  too  distant  future 
when  the  operation  of  a  Masonic  Home  of  any  kind  might 
not    be    desirable    or   necessary."      The    Committee   decided 


82  GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA 

against  expansion  for  the  reason,  as  well  as  that  just  given, 
that  Grand  Lodge  should  not  impose  any  additional  financial 
burdens  on  the  constituent  Lodges  because  "they  are  finding 
it  increasingly  difficult  to  operate  their  own  affairs  within 
their  present  dues  structure." 

The  Grand  Lecturer  found  that,  particularly  in  some  of 
the  smaller  and  more  isolated  Lodges,  the  lack  of  knowledge 
of  the  ritual,  on  the  part  of  the  officers,  had  produced  an 
unfortunate  situation.  He  also  noted  that  the  officers  of  a 
few  Lodges  were  "somewhat  lax  and  slothful  in  their  attend- 
ance at  schools  of  instruction."  It  was  his  unpleasant  duty, 
during  the  year,  to  drop  two  Deputies  "for  good  and  abundant 
reasons." 

From  the  report  of  the  Committee  on  Foreign  Corres- 
pondence, which  reviewed  our  Proceedings  of  1958  very  fully, 
the  following  quotation  is  taken.  "Freemasonry  continues 
its  onward  march  throughout  the  Free  World.  New  Grand 
Lodges  and  new  District  Grand  Lodges  are  being  constituted. 
Grand  Lodges  grew  and  prospered.  The  Craft  enjoys  peace 
and  harmony."  The  Chairman,  M.W.  Bro.  H.  Aherns,  reviewed 
the  Proceedings  of  70  Grand  Jurisdictions  and  did  the  work 
well. 

A  new  decree  was  issued.  "It  shall  be  a  Masonic  offence 
for  any  Lodge  or  any  Committee,  officer,  or  member  thereof, 
to  circularize  by  letter,  petition  or  other  form  of  publication 
other  Lodges  or  officers  or  members  of  other  Lodges  in  this 
Grand  Jurisdiction  proposing  or  advocating  any  amendments, 
repeal  or  enactment  of  laws,  rules,  or  regulations  of  this 
Grand  Lodge,  without  securing  a  dispensation  for  such  pur- 
pose from  the  Grand  Master."  (How  important  this  is. 
Without  such  restraint,  chaos  could  result.  We  have  never 
known  such  circularization  to  happen  here.) 

There  is  a  Committee  on  Work  which  reported  that  "the 
programme  for  improving  the  ritual  in  all  the  Lodges  by 
holding  more  schools  of  instruction  and  practice  sessions  was 
continued  throughout  the  year  and  we  are  pleased  with  the 
widespread  knowledge  of  the  ritual  throughout  the  state." 

The  Grand  Lodge  assessment  of  $1.15  per  member  was 
continued  for  the  following  year.  Operation  of  the  Masonic 
Home  cost  $91,138.12.

In  his  Address  the  Grand  Master  announced  that  the  one 
project  on  which  he  would  concentrate  and  for  which  he  hoped 


FRATERNAL  CORRESPONDENCE  83 

to  have  the  approval  of  Grand  Lodge  would  be  the  raising 
of  a  large  endowment  fund  for  the  Masonic  Home.  Naturally, 
then,  this  was  the  principal  order  of  business. 

The  Grand  Master  made  some  interesting  decisions.  A 
firm  of  photographers  in  Michigan  furnished  postal  cards 
to  Masters  and  Secretaries  and  asked  that  these  be  sent 
to  all  members  of  Lodges,  soliciting  business.  No  Secretary 
furnished  this  firm  with  a  list  of  members  and  the  Grand 
Master  decided  that  there  was  "no  violation."  (How  far 
could  this  sort  of  device  go?).  The  Committee  disagreed 
with  the  Grand  Master.  A  Lodge  received  a  petition  from 
the  manager  of  a  supermarket  which  sells  the  usual  grocery 
staples  and  also  beer  in  packages  for  consumption  off  the 
premises.  The  Grand  Master  ruled  that  this  petition  could 
be  received  because  the  regulation  is  that  "no  Lodge  in  this 
jurisdiction  shall  receive  or  act  upon  a  petition  from  a  person 
engaged  in  keeping  a  tavern  or  saloon  where  intoxicating 
liquor  to  be  used  as  a  beverage  is  consumed  on  the  premises 
nor  from  any  person  employed  therein."  Such  a  rule  has  not, 
we  think,  ever  been  considered  in  Ontario.  "Ours  not  to 
reason  why:  ours  not  to  make  renlv";  ours  just  to  smile  and 
sigh.  One  Lodge  submitted  a  formal  resolution  to  Grand 
Lodge  asking  for  the  repeal  of  the  existing  liquor  regulation 
and  tV»  restoration  of  the  law  thereon  as  it  existed  prior 
to  1958. 

There  is  a  Committee  on  Masonic  Historv  and  Research 
and  also  an  active  Committee  on  Masonic  Education.  The 
latter  prenared  and  distributed  four  leaflets:  "Seeking  Light" 
for  the  elected  candidate:  "LieM  in  Masonrv"  for  the  E.A.; 
"More  Light  in  Masonry"  for  the  F.C.;  and  "Further  Light 
in  Masonry"  for  the  M.M.  It  is  proposed  that  members  of 
the  Committtee  be  available  to  hold  discussion  groups  of 
interested  Lodges  anywhere  in  the  state. 

An  interesting  ruling,  which  bears  on  a  question  some- 
times discussed,  is  that  "the  Masonic  apron  shall  be  worn 
in  the  orescribed  manner  over  the  suit  jacket  or  outer  dress 
at  all  Communications  of  a  Lodge". 

In  the  Reviews  aopears  this  from  Illinois  whose  Grand 
Master  savs  that  12  Lodges  in  that  state  have  consolidated 
into  6  and  that  200  more  should  be  consolidated.  He  goes 
on  to  sav,  "Many  of  our  Lodges  have  lost  the  essentials  of 
progressive  lodge  operation.  Poor  attendance,  insufficient 
income,  lack  of  desire  on  the  part  of  officers  to  learn  their 
work  are  clearly  evident  in  many  cases." 

The  Grand  Lecturer  in  Wisconsin  is  a  teacher  who, 
working  in  conjunction  with  the  Committee  on  Masonic 
Education  handles  the  Schools  of  Instruction  in  a  brilliant 
manner  and  is  producing  excellent  results.

Several  proposed  amendments  to  the  Code  (or,  as  we 
would  say,  the  Constitution)  were  not  adopted.  One  of  these 
provided  that  the  Grand  Lecturer  should  be  made  Chief 
Instructor  and  Custodian  of  The  Work  in  addition  to  his 
regular  duties.  Two  Lodges  (the  names  are  given)  did  not 
comply  with  the  Grand  Master's  proclamation  to  the  effect 
that  George  Washington's  Masonic  Birthday  must  be  observed 
at  the  regular  meeting  nearest  to  November  4th,  1958. 
Provision  was  made  for  printing  1,000  copies  of  the  second 
volume  of  Grand  Lodge's  History.  An  appeal  came  from 
Mexico,  asking  for  financial  relief  for  Masons  in  flooded 
districts  but  the  Masonic  Service  Association  found  that  the 
Supreme  Council  of  Mexico  did  not  approve  of  the  appeal 
because  that  Council  was  providing  relief. 

The  Grand  Master  found,  when  he  attended  a  meeting 
of  the  Masonic  Education  Council,  that  several  Lodges  had 
not  appointed  committees  and  were  doing  nothing  about 
Masonic  Education.  He  sent  out  a  questionnaire  to  which 
the  reply  usually  was  that  there  was  so  much  degree  work 
there  was  no  time  for  education.  (How  often  we  used  to 
hear  that  excuse!)  Now  nearly  all  the  Lodges  have  taken 
appropriate  action. 

As  the  cost  of  printing  the  Proceedings  had  increased 
from  $5.25  per  page  in  1957  to  $5.50  per  page  in  1958,  the 
Grand  Master  recommended  reducing  the  size  by  omitting 
several  items,  which  he  listed,  but  his  proposal  was  not 
adopted.  A  charter  was  issued  to  Capital  Lodge  No.  54  which 
had  been  under  dispensation. 

It  was  proposed,  but  the  proposal  was  not  adopted,  that 
a  Master  Mason  must  pass  the  proficiency  examination  before 
he  could  vote  in  his  own  Lodge;  nor  could  he  be  presented 
with  a  Bible  until  he  passed.  There  is  great  stress,  in  many 
Grand  Lodges,  on  the  necessity  for  proficiency.  We,  in 
Ontario,  are  not  as  thorough  in  this  respect  as  are  many  of 
our  neighbours. 

The  Director  of  Masonic  Education  recommends  a  short 
programme  at  every  lodge  meeting,  supplemented  by  two 
"big  programmes"  during  the  year.  He  suggests  that  every 
Senior  Warden  should  serve  for  a  year  on  the  Masonic 
Education  Committee  and  he  recommends  that  every  Master 


FRATERNAL  CORRESPONDENCE  85 

Mason  should  subscribe  (60  cents  per  year)  for  "The  Short 
Talk  Bulletin."     His  report  is  most  interesting. 

There  was  a  strong'  movement  for  a  change  in  the  time 
of  election  in  constituent  Lodges  from  December  to  June 
but  the  proposal  was  defeated  by  a  vote  of  83  against  and 
only  50  votes  in  favour. 

The  new  Grand  Master  wonders  how  he  can  possibly 
make  all  the  visitations  expected  of  him  or  accept  all  the 
invitations  he  will  receive.  "Why  can't  a  plan  be  worked 
out",  he  asks,  "by  which  our  Grand  Secretary  or  others  of 
Grand  Lodge  can  make  these  visits  and  not  at  their  own 
expense?"  If  he  can  work  out  such  a  plan,  we  shall  be 
most  interested  to  hear  about  it.  In  our  Grand  Lodge,  no 
one  can  take  the  place  of  the  Grand  Master  himself  at  any 
important  function. 


APPENDIX  "B" 

Address  delivered  by  M.W.  Bro.  Dr.  Thomas  S.  Roy, 

at  the  Grand  Master's  Banquet  held  in  the  Royal 

York  Hotel,  Toromto,  Ontario,  on  Wednesday  evening 

July  20th,  1960. 

M.  WOR.  BRO.  T.  H.  SIMPSON: 

Most  Worshipful  Grand  Master,  Distinguished  Brethren 
and  Guests,  and  Brethren  all:  Those  of  us  who  were  privi- 
ledged  to  be  in  attendance  at  the  Grand  Lodge  Session  to-day 
heard  a  good  deal  about  the  small  attendance  that  takes  place 
in  many  of  the  Masonic  gatherings  not  only  in  this  Jurisdic- 
tion but  in  the  Jurisdictions  of  the  United  States,  and  it 
gives  us  all  who  are  attending  some  cause  for  thought. 

I  couldn't  help  thinking  as  I  listened  to  those  remarks, 
how  do  we  explain  this  magnificent  attendance  to-day  at  our 
Grand  Lodge.  And  to-night  one  wonders  at  that  condition 
when  we  have  here  such  a  magnificent  gathering — over  1,400 
brethren — at  this  banquet. 

I  am  going  to  suggest  to  you  that  the  reason  for  this 
magnificent  gathering  here  tonight  is  the  calibre  of  speaker, 
whom  we  have  brought  here  to  address  us,  and  that  this 
Grand  Master's  Banquet  is  the  occasion  for  bringing  so  many 
of  our  brethren  to  our  Grand  Lodge  gatherings. 

Our  guest  speaker  this  evening  is  a  very  distinguished1 
brother  from  the  United  States.  He  has  been  here  before. 
He  is  M.  Wor.  Bro.  Dr.  Thomas  S.  Roy,  Past  Grand  Master 
of  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Massachusetts.  It  is  not  his  first 
occasion  to  be  among  us.  He  was  here  eight  years  ago 
to-night  on  the  16th  of  July,  1952,  and  on  that  occasion  I 
had  the  great  privilege  of  introducing  him.  He  has  come 
back  to  speak  to  us  again  this  evening.  On  that  occasion 
he  spoke  on  "The  Romance  of  Freemasonry".  I  am  sure 
that  his  address  to-night  will  be  just  as  good — if  not  better — 
because  I  am  satisfied  that  he  is  mellowing  with  age. 
( Laughter) . 

Now,  brethren,  he  is  a  Canadian,  strange  as  it  may 
seem.  He  was  born  in  New  Brunswick,  educated  in  Acadia 
University  in  Nova  Scotia,  but  finished  his  theological  train- 
ing in  Newtonville,  Massachusetts,  at  the  Theological  Train- 
ing Institute  there.  He  had  some  difficulty  at  first,  it  seems, 
flitting  back  and  forth  across  the  border  to  decide  ultimately 
where  he  would  cast  in  his  lot.  He  came  back  to  Digby, 
Nova  Scotia,  for  a  while,  went  back  into  the  States  for  a 
while,  then  he  landed  over  in  London,  Ontario,  where  he  had 
a  charge  for  some  considerable  time.  But  ultimately  he 
seems  to  have  been  lui'ed  back  to  the  United  States. 


APPENDIX  "B"  2 

He  went  to  Brockton,  Massachusetts,  then  took  a  charge 
some  twenty-five  or  thirty  years  ago  at  Worcester,  Mas- 
sachusetts, and  there  he  remained  until  he  retired  some  five 
or  six  years  ago. 

He  joined  the  Masonic  Craft  in  1912  while  he  was  in 
Nova  Scotia,  but  in  every  centre  where  he  located  in  the 
interval,  he  was  biting  in  here  and  biting  in  there  and  he 
seemed  to  love  the  Craft.  He  became  a  very  active  Mason 
and  eventually  the  Grand  Master  of  The  Grand  Lodge  of 
Massachusetts  in  1952. 

He  is  an  authority  on  Masonic  Ritual  and  the  teachings 
of  Masonry;  he  is  a  splendid  speaker,  widely  known  through- 
out the  United  States  and  in  certain  parts  of  Canada,  is  one 
of  the  finest  exponents  of  Freemasonry. 

Since  retiring  as  Grand  Master  of  Massachusetts  he,  for 
some  years,  was  the  Executive  Secretary  of  the  Grand 
Masters'  Conference  of  North  America — a  very  fine  Organiz- 
ation. That  position  he  held  until  a  few  short  years  ago. 
He  is  now  the  Secretary  of  the  Commission  on  Information 
for  Recognition  in  that  Conference  of  Grand  Masters. 

It  is  my  very  creat  pleasure,  brethren,  to  present  to  you 
Most  Worshipful  Brother  Dr.  Thomas  S.  Roy,  whose  home 
now  is  in  Worcester,  Massachusetts  .  .  .  Bro.  Roy.  (Applause). 

M.  WOR.  BRO.  DR.  THOMAS  S.  ROY: 

Most  Worshipful  Grand  Master,  Most  Worshipful  Brother 
Simpson,  Distinguished  Guests — particularly  my  own  Grand 
Master,  Most  Worshipful  Brother  Eaton  of  Massachusetts: 
Thank  you  very  much,  Bro.  Simpson,  for  that  very  flattering 
introduction — I  am  quite  sure  that  I  can't  live  up  to  it. 
I  like  one  thing  he  said,  and  that  is.  that  I  was  mellowing 
with  age.  Considering  my  age,  I  ought  to  be  very  mellow. 
(Laughter). 

I  heard  the  other  day  of  a  man  who  said  he'd  been 
married  so  long  that  he  felt  as  though  he  had  been  poured 
in  captivity.  (Laughter)  I  have  been  talking  so  long  to 
various  audiences  and  congregations,  for  fifty-three  years 
now,  that  I  ought  to  be  u~ed  to  it.  But  perhaps  some  of  the 
brethren  here  who  have  been  in  a  similar  situation  will  know 
what  I  mean,  when  I  say  I'd  be  very  happy  to  change  places 
with  anybody  in  the  room  right  now. 

I  deem  it  an  exceedingly  great  honour  to  be  invited  to 
come  here  and  address  this  magnificent  audience  again.  I 
don't  know  just  what  my  relationship  is  to  this  Grand  Lodge, 
but  inasmuch  as  I  was,  fortv  years  ago,  a.  member  of  Tuscan 
Lodge  in  London  and  therefore  had  allegiance  to  this  Grand 


3  APPENDIX  "B" 

Lodge,  I  claim  the  right  to  say  that  I  am  very  glad  to  be 
back  home  again. 

I  don't  want  my  relationship  to  be  as  confused  as  a 
minister  was  one  day  when  he  was  called  upon  suddenly  to 
go  to  the  cemetery  and  perform  a  committal  service.  He 
had  not  been  there  long  enough  to  ask  all  of  the  questions 
he  should  have,  and  so  when  he  got  to  that  part  of  the 
service  where  he  should  have  said  either  "departed  brother" 
or  "departed  sister"  he  suddenly  remembered  that  he  didn't 
know  whether  he  was  burying  a  man  or  a  woman.  So  he 
turned  to  a  man  who  was  alongside  of  him  and  said  "brother 
or  sister?" — He  said  "cousin."  (Laughter). 

I  am  very  glad  to  be  here  while  my  good  friend,  your 
Grand  Master,  Most  Worshipful  Brother  Pitts,  is  Grand 
Master  of  this  Grand  Lodge.  I  have  known  him  for  some  years 
now.  Our  paths  have  crossed  as  Ave  have  been  visiting  other 
Jurisdictions,  Annual  Communications,  and  otherwise.  He's 
always  good  company,  and  because  we  happen  to  have  been 
born  in  the  same  province  of  New  Brunswick,  I  have  always 
been  particularly  proud  as  I  have  heard  the  rafters  ring 
with  applause  because  of  the  significant  message  that  he  has 
brought  to  these  other  Grand  Lodges.  I  congratulate  him 
upon  the  successful  year  he  has  had,  and  certainly  this  Grand 
Lodge  has  been  a  success  during  the  year  now  being  brought 
to  completion. 

Freemasonry  is  an  inexhaustible  subject.  "Age  cannot 
wither  it  nor  custom  stale  its  infinite  variety" — we  can  say 
that  about  Freemasonry.  I  suppose  that's  the  reason  I 
keep  talking  about  it,  that  I  come  to  you  to-night  to  try 
to  talk  to  vou  about  "Freemasonry  in  our  time."  But  I 
wrant  it  perfectly  understood,  however,  that  I  do  not  consider 
that  I  have  explored  the  vast  reaches  of  Freemasonry,  am 
qualified  to  speak  about  it  or  have  the  information  that  is 
adequate  to  talk  upon  such  a  subject.  Indeed  I  am  a  little 
bit  afraid  of  your  reaction,  I'm  afraid  it  may  be  as  mine 
was  one  evening  when  I  was  watching  and  listening  to 
Bishop  Sheen  on  television — I  find  he  is  a  very  interesting 
character  to  listen  to. 

Now  that  night  he  was  talking  about  taxes  and  in  the 
course  of  his  remarks  he  said  that  taxes  were  getting  to  be 
a  very  heavy  burden  upon  men.  He  said  it  is  getting  to  be 
so  that  a  man  finds  it  very  difficult  to  support  both  a  wife 
and  a  government.  Without  thinking  I  said  to  mv  wife 
"I  wish  I  knew  as  little  as  he  does  about  both  of  those 
subjects."  (Lausrhter).  I  was  in  hot  water  for  a  few  minutes 
but  got  out  of  it  beautifully  by  saying  she  knew  I  meant 
only  the  half  of  it.  (Laughter). 

When  we  consider  this  subject  of  Freemasonry  in  our 
time,    we   are    faced   with    a   searching    and    embarrassing 


APPENDIX  "B"  4 

question  as  to  whether  or  not  Freemasonry  has  what  it 
takes  to  be  a  constructive  force  in  the  world  in  which  we 
are  living  to-day  in  this  our  time.  If  that  question  is 
asked  us,  the  answer  is  naturally  in  the  affirmative.  I 
believe  it  is  equal  to  the  demands  that  are  being  made 
upon  us,  first  of  all  because  of  its  universal  quality  and  that 
I  think,  is  of  major  importance. 

When  I  was  thinking  about  this,  I  came  across  the 
writings  of  a  very  distinguished  Mason,  perhaps  the  most 
distinguished  Masonic  scholar  of  our  time,  Rt.  Wor.  Bro. 
Roscoe  Pound,  who  was  for  a  very  long:  time  the  well-known 
Dean  of  Harvard  Law  School.  He  was  a  Past  Deputy  Grand 
Master  of  Massachusetts.  He  was  an  Hon.  Past  Grand 
Master  of  The  Grand  Lodge  of  Nebrask  and.  incidentally, 
is  going  to  be  ninety  years  of  age  this  year. 

Now  in  his  writings  I  found  these  words:  "That  we, 
of  all  men — meaning  we  Masons — owe  it  to  ourselves  and  to 
the  world  to  be  universal  in  spirit."  Universality  is  the 
one  lesson  that  the  world  is  learning  and  must  learn.  But, 
he  said,  "we  Masons  should  be  on  the  front  bench  of  the 
world's  school,  setting  an  example  to  our  more  backward 
fellows."  He  says  "wherever  in  the  world  there  is  a  Lodge 
of  Masons"  and  please,  brethren,  don't  put  that  a  way  out 
on  the  periphery  of  Freemasonry  but  localize  it  right  in 
your  own  lodge.  "Wherever  in  the  wTorld  there  is  a  Lodge 
of  Masons  there  should  be  a  focus  of  civilization,  a  centre 
of  the  idea  of  universality  radiating  reason  to  put  down 
prejudice  and  advance  justice  between  the  peoples,  and  be- 
tween classes,  and  making  for  the  peace  and  harmony  and 
civilization  that  should  prevail  in  this  great  lodge  of  the 
w^orld."  I  think  Roscoe  Pound  was  right  because  it  would  be 
impossible  for  me  or  anybody  else  to  exaggerate  the  import- 
ance of  this  universality  that  we  believe  is  one  of  the 
qualities  of  Freemasonry. 

As  most  men  who  are  outside  the  Craft  think  of  our 
degrees,  the  probability  is  that  they  think  of  them  as  in- 
volving a  ritual  designed  for  the  purpose  of  impressing  the 
candidate  upon  his  initiation,  but  with  no  particular  rele- 
vance to  the  life  situations  that  that  individual  is  going  to 
have  to  face;  a  ritual  that  is  of  particular  interest  to  Masons 
but  of  no  interest  to  other  men.  Nothing  could  be  further 
from  the  truth.  Our  ritual  is  univei-sally  true,  true  for  all 
men  at  all  times,  in  all  circumstances. 

One  of  the  great  philosophers  of  the  past  was  Emannuel 
Kant,  a  man  who  lived  in  Germany  some  200  years  aeo.  I 
don't  pretend  to  have  read  his  philosophy  and  understand  him, 
but  I  have  been  very  much  intrigued  by  the  fact  that  he 
reduced  a  good  deal  of  his  philosophv  to  what  has  been  called 
a    categorical   imperative,   'categorical'    meaning   there    can' 


5  APPENDIX  "B" 

be  no  exceptions  and  no  conditions,  and  it  goes  something 
like  this:  "Act  as  if  the  maxim  of  thy  -will  were  to  become 
by  thy  adopting  it,  a  universal  law  of  nature."  In  other 
words,  act  as  if  that  act  of  yours  compelled  everybody  in 
the  world  to  imitate  you,  act  in  such  fashion  that  if  every- 
body acted  in  the  same  way  it  would  be  both  safe  and 
beneficial  for  the  world  in  which  Ave  are  living. 

Freemasonry  conforms  to  that  categorical  imperative 
because  what  we  proclaim  as  ideal,  what  we  teach  as  practical 
can  be  safely  universalized,  that  is  if  we  believe  all  men 
practice  the  principles  of  Freemasonry,  we  would  have  pretty 
much  an  ideal  world  here  on  earth. 

Now  we  find  that  this  idea  of  universality  finds  some 
confiimation  of  what  mieht  be  called  universal  appeal  of 
Freemasonry.  It  appeals  to  men  of  all  races,  of  all  tongues, 
of  all  colours,  of  all  classes  and  of  all  faiths. 

Freemasonry  girdles  the  earth.  There  isn't  a  country 
where  men  are  free  that  you  will  not  find  Freemasonry — in 
some  cases  it's  the  only  unifying  force  in  the  country.  For 
example,  there  is  the  Grand  Lodge  of  the  State  of  Israel 
and  I  am  told  that  one  of  the  Constituent  Lodges  of  that 
Grand  Lodge  is  composed  entirely  of  Arabs,  that  is,  there  is 
one  place  in  Israel  where  Arab  and  Jew  can  sit  together  in 
the  fellowship  that  transcends  the  bitter  political  differences 
■that  have  torn  the  whole  of  the  Near  East  to  shreds.  In  all 
countries  in  the  world  we  discover  that  men  find  Freemasonry 
the  response  to  their  needs  for  fellowship  and  brotherhood. 

Freemasonry  transcends  the  differences  in  classes.  I 
have  heard  there  is  a  very  distinguished  brother  who  is 
the  Grand  Master  of  the  Grand  Lodge  of  England,  the  Earl 
of  Scarbrough,  a  man  of  great  hereditary  rank,  a  man  who 
is  the  Queen's  Chamberlain  and  occupies  one  of  the  most 
important  positions  in  England,  and  it's  difficult  thinking 
of  him  as  being  any  closer  to  the  top  than  he  is.  I  think 
of  the  Archbishop  of  Canterbury,  the  great  ecclesiastic  of 
England,  who  was  at  one  time  the  Grand  Chaplain  of  the 
Grand  Lodge  of  England,  and  I  know  that  deep  down  at  the 
bottom  of  the  social  scale  there  are  humble  cottagers  in 
Enerland  in  between,  men  of  all  classes  who  find  satisfactory 
relationship  or  reality — if  vou  like — in  Freemasonry,  that  is, 
in  this  universality  of  Freemasonry  that  cuts  across  all 
classes. 

The  late  Theodoi-e  Roosevelt,  former  President  of  the 
United  States,  used  to  go  to  Oyster  Bay  occasionally  and  he 
visited  his  Lodge  in  Oyster  Bav  occasionally,  and  one  time 
he  discovered  that  the  Master  of  the  Lod?e  was  his  gardener, 
so  that  Theodore  Roosevelt,  the  President  of  the  United 
States,  while  in  the  Lodge,  was  ruled  over  by  his  gardener. 


APPENDIX  "B"  6 

But,  more  significant,  gardener  and  president  were  one — all 
classes  obliterated  in  Freemasonry. 

We  discover  that  there  is  this  universality  that  cuts 
across  all  classes  and  makes  men  one. 

Now  let  me  come  to  something  that  is  perhaps  a  little 
more  difficult  to  discuss.  I  said  a  few  minutes  ago  that 
Freemasonry  appeals  to  men  of  all  faiths;  this  may  be 
questioned — I  don't  think  that  it  can  be  successfully  challeng- 
ed. I  know  as  well  as  you  do  that  Freemasonry  in  the 
English-speaking  world  is  considered  by  most  people  as  a 
protestant  institution.  Of  course  we  have  a  great  many 
Jewish  brethren,  but  preponderantly  it  is  a  protestant  in- 
stitution. But  more  significant  is  the  fact  that  there  are 
a  good  many  people  in  Freemasonry — and  out  of  it — who 
think  that  there  is  something:  in  Freemasonry  that  is  in- 
herently repugnant  to  those  of  other  faiths — that  is  not  true, 
when  you  get  back  to  the  Craft  Lodges  where  men  were 
Masons  because  they  were  working  at  a  trade   as  masons. 

You  go  back  generations,  if  not  centuries  before  the  < 
Reformation,  with  the  result  that  every  member  of  a  Masonic 
Lodge  in  those  days  was  a  Roman  Catholic.  Now  when  you 
come  to  the  time  of  what  is  called  the  Revival  of  Free- 
masonry, the  organization  of  the  Grand  Lodge  of  England 
in  1717.  what  men  do  not  know — as  they  should  know — is 
that  there  were  as  many  Catholics  as  Protestants  who  were 
members  of  the  Craft  at  that  time. 

I  am  particularly  proud  of  the  fact,  because  it's  an 
indication  of  the  appeal,  the  universal  appeal  of  Freemasonry, 
I  am  particularly  proud  of  the  fact  that  my  distinguished 
predecessor  in  Massachusetts,  Henry  Price,  the  first  Pro- 
vincial Grand  Master  in  New  England,  was  appointed  Prov- 
incial Grand  Master  and  the  warrant  or  charter  that  con- 
tained that  appointment  was  drawn  up  under  the  authority 
of  Anthony  Brown — Lord  Montague — Grand  Master  of  the 
Grand  Lodge  of  England — Anthony  Brown  was  a  Roman 
Catholic. 

It's  rather  interesting  when  you  come  to  contemplate 
it  that  what  we  call  regularly  constituted  Freemasonry  was 
launched  in  New  England  by  a  man  of  that  particular  faith. 

The  greatest  modern  patriot  Ireland  has  known  was 
Daniel  O'Connell.  Daniel  O'Connell  was  the  Master  of  a 
Masonic  Lodge  in  Ireland,  as  a  matter  of  fact  he  was  the 
Master  of  two  Masonic  Lodges  at  different  times  in  Ireland, 
and  there  were  as  many  men  of  his  faith  as  of  ours  in 
Masonic  Lodges  in  Ireland  at  that  particular  time,  and  I  am 
told  that  there  were  Lodges  that  were  composed  almost 
exclusively  of  men  who  were  clergymen  of  that  faith. 


7  APPENDIX  "B" 

Now  the  ritual,  the  principles,  everything  that  appeals  to 
Freemasonry  was  just  the  same  in  those  days  in  Ireland  as 
it  is  to-day,  and  it  is  just  the  same  to-day  as  it  was  then. 
What  I  am  trying  to  bring  out  is  that  there  isn't  anything 
that  is  inherently  repugnant  in  Freemasonry  to  any  faith 
and  that  the  men — the  best  consciences  of  every  country,  of 
every  faith  will  find  in  Freemasonry  that  to  which  they  can 
respond. 

Now  when  we  ask  ouselves  the  question  why  is  it  that 
Freemasonry  has  universal  appeal,  the  answer  is  very  simple, 
it's  because  the  emphasis  is  upon  basic  realities.  We  are 
interested  in  men  for  their  own  sake,  not  because  a  man 
occupies  a  particular  position,  not  because  of  his  class,  not 
because  of  his  scholastic  achievement,  not  because  of  financial 
opulence — we  are  interested  in  him  just  because  he  is  a  man, 
because,  you  see,  if  we  were  interested  in  them  because  of 
these  things  that  I  have  .mentioned,  then  we  ought  to  be 
realistic  enough  to  see  and  honest  enough  to  acknowledge 
that  we  are  interested  in  those  men  for  what  they  can  do 
for  the  Craft — and  not  what  the  Craft  can  do  for  them.  In 
other  words  we  are  using  those  men  as  means  to  an  end 
instead  of  using  men  as  ends  in  themselves.  Let  me  say  that 
whether  you  find  it  in  Russia,  or  in  any  degree  in  Canada 
or  the  United  States,  the  ultimate  blasphemy  that  is  com- 
mitted against  man  is  using  a  man  as  a  means  to  an  end. 
and  not  as  an  end  in  himself.  We  are  interested  in  men  for 
what  they  are  and  not  because  of  the  position  that  they 
occupy,  what  we  can  do  for  them,  not  what  they  can  do  for 
us.  It  doesn't  make  any  difference  how  high  a  man  is  in 
his  position  in  the  world,  we,  as  Freemasons,  say  that  when 
he  becomes  a  Freemason  he  stands  a  bit  taller,  regardless  of 
of  his  height  up  to  that  particular  point. 

Now  Freemasonry,  when  we  come  to  this  matter  of 
faith,  has  its  universal'  appeal  because  its  emphasis  is  upon 
basic  reality  in  faith,  that  is,  we  are  not  interested  in  making 
demands  upon  men  as  to  loyalty,  a  creed  or  to  a  ritual;  we 
are  not  interested  in  making  demands  that  are  not  inherent 
realities  of  religion.  In  this  particular,  Freemasonry  is  a 
completely  tolerant  organization.  This  is  one  fellowship  in 
which  we  do  not  question  the  sincerity  of  a  man's  faith  be- 
cause its  formulation  differs  from  others.  Why  should  I 
say  that  my  brother  is  wrong  because  he  does  not  find  his 
faith  within  the  doctrines  and  limitations  within  which  I  find 
mine  ?  How  can  I  measure  the  spiritual  dimensions  of  any 
man  in  this  room,  or  out  yonder  in  the  world?  What  right 
have  I  to  be  suspicious  of  his  faith  because  of  the  fact  that 
I  think  I  can  measure  those  dimensions?  I  do  not  consider 
that  I  have  any  right  whatever  to  measure  the  mind  or  the 
soul  of  a  man  bv  the  limiting  formulae,  if  you  will,  by  which 
I  find  my  own  faith. 


APPENDIX  "B"  8 

Now  this,  of  course,  means  this:  Provided  always  that 
the  faith  enables  him  to  find  his  light  at  the  level  of  the 
best  of  which  he  is  capable  in  character,  and  enables  him  to 
find  his  light,  nevertheless,  in  the  best  of  which  he  is  capable 
in  his  relations  with  his  fellowmen. 

v 

Also,  let  me  say  that  this  does  not  mean  that  we  are 
opposed  to.  or  sympathetic  to,  any  expression  of  religion. 
We  find  ourselves  being  constantly  branded,  and  by  organiz- 
ations within  our  own  protestantism.  Brethren,  I  know  what 
I  am  talking  about,  I  have  read  enough — we  are  being 
constantly  branded  as  un-Christian  because  we  do  not  contain 
the  name  of  the  founder  of  our  Christian  religion  within  our 
ritual.  But  with  the  exception  of  our  penalties,  shall  I  say, 
and  I  don't  think  any  thinking  Mason  would  consider  for  a 
minute  that  they  are  Christian — but  with  the  exception  of 
those  penalties,  I  challenge  any  man  to  find  that  within  our 
philosophy,  that  within  our  teachings,  within  our  principles, 
within  our  spirit  or  within  our  official  acts,  that  which  is 
un-Christian.  We  do  not  believe  that  we  are  honouring  the 
founder  of  that  faith  by  simply  including  His  name  in  our 
ritual,  but  rather  by  repeating  this  .man  when  conducting 
our  lives  in  the  spirit  He  manifested  to  the  world. 

Freemasonry  is  for  our  times — Freemasonry  is  for  this 
time — it  has  that  which  enables  it  to  be  a  constructive  force 
in  the  life  of  the  world.  And  I  believe  that  Freemasonry 
has  that  which  is  needed  in  this  day  because  of  the  uni- 
versal obligation.  It's  an  obligation  that  has  no  limitations 
either  as  to  time,  place,  or  circumstances;  it's  an  obligation 
that  is  equally  binding  on  a  Mason  whether  he's  in  Toronto, 
Taooma.  Karachi,  or  whether  he's  in  Kokomo — that  is  not 
the  obligation  that  we  take  at  the  altar,  but  the  obligation 
to  live  affirmatively,  positively,  proclaiming,  not  only  openly 
but  vigorously  and  emphatically — and  sometimes  even  ag- 
gressively— the  truths  that  belong  to  Freemasonry.  That  is 
what  I  mean  when  I  say  the  universal  obligation  of  Free- 
masonry is  to  live  affirmatively. 

We  happen  to  be  living  in  the  day  of  denials — if  you 
don't  believe  it,  then  you  don't  listen  as  much  as  I  do  as 
to  what  came  out  of  Los  Angeles  last  week.  (Laughter). 
We  live  in  a  day  of  denials,  p  day  of  contradictions,  a  day  of 
conflicting  ideologies,  and  sometimes  we  get  the  idea  that 
the  only  way  we  can  develop  our  own  strength  is  by  the 
vehemence  of  our  denunciation  of  that  with  which  we  dis- 
agree. We  have  a  little  bit  of  the  spirit  of  Hitler  in  us, 
because  Hitler  believed  that  he  had  to  generate  and  develop 
a  good  healthy  bitter  hatred  of  some  group  or  some  in- 
stitution in  order  to  develop  his  own  strength. 

A  number  of  years  ago  I  was  in  England  and  I  was 
coming   back  by  boat.     We  sailed  from   Liverpool,   dropped 


9  APPENDIX  "B" 

anchor  outside  Belfast,  took  aboard  some  passengers.  Among 
those  who  came  aboard  were  a  couple  of  very  fine  young  men 
from  the  North  of  Ireland.  It  was  a  good  voyage,  long  days, 
days  of  calm  seas  and  sunshine,  and  we  sat  out  on  deck  and 
chatted  a  good  deal. 

One  day  one  of  those  young  men  asked  me  if  I  had 
been  in  Ireland.  I  said  I  had.  Before  I  left  Ireland  I'd  been 
from  Cork  to  Deny,  as  a  matter  of  fact  I'd  had  a  very 
interesting  experience  of  being  on  the  walls  of  Londonderry, 
where  I  watched  the  organization  of  the  parade  that  took 
place  that  day  in  Londonderry  because  they  were  actually 
celebrating  the  Battle  of  the  Boyne — last  week  I  understand 
was  the  270th  Anniversary  of  the  Battle  of  the  Boyne. 

Then  one  of  these  young  men  told  me  the  very  interest- 
ing story  of  something  that  takes  place  eveiy  year  where 
they  celebrate  somewhere  near  his  home,  where  they  cele- 
brate the  Battle  of  the  Boyne,  and  their  drummers  get  very 
enthusiastic:  they  beat  that  big  brass  drum  and  they  become 
so  engrossed  in  what  they  are  doinsr  that  they  don't  know 
they  are  hitting  the  wooden  edges  around  the  drumhead  with 
their  wrists.  He  said  after  awhile  the  skin  on  the  wrists 
will  break;  then  the  blood  will  flow,  and  the  more  the  blood 
flows  the  more  frenzied  they  become,  the  harder  they  beat 
the  dram.  Then  after  awhile  he  said  the  hands,  the  arms, 
the  whole  drumhead  is  a  gory  mess.  He  said,  "do  ya  know 
what  thev're  thinkin'  when  they're  doin'  that?  They're 
thinkin'  they're  knocking  hell  out  of  the  Pope."  (Laughter). 
I  was  amused  tooo. 

But  there  is  something  in  that  that  is  too  indicative  of 
too  much  that  is  going  on  in  the  world  that  isn't  funny.  It's 
a  tragic  thing,  a  tragic  waste  of  both  time  and  energy  to  be 
.merely  against  something,  and  it's  pathetic  and  wasteful 
to  hate,  because  hatred  always  comes  back  upon  the  one  that 
hated. 

We,  of  course,  in  our  lives,  many  of  us  as  we  go  along 
as  Masons,  will  discover  that  there  are  those  who  are  saying 
that  Freemasonry  is  anti-this,  it's  anti-something  else.  Free- 
masonry has  no  hates.  We  are  interested  in  one  thing  only, 
and  that  is  the  positive  proclamation  of  the  things  in  which 
we  believe.  I  like  the  way  that  Archibald  McLeish  put  it  one 
time  when  he  said  that  people  who  are  real  to  themselves 
when  they  were  for  something,  cannot  continue  to  be  real  to 
themselves  when  they  suddenly  discover  that  they  are  merely 
against  something — you  find  too  much  of  that  today.  We  are 
cursing  Communism,  and  God  knows  it  needs  to  be  cursed,  but 
the  one  thing  that  we  will  not  leam  is  that  you  can't  curse 
Communism  out  of  existence — something  positive  must  be  done. 

I  heard  one  of  the  Senators  the  other  night  allude  to  the 
fact  that  90%  of  the  people  of  the  world  go  to  bed  hungry 


APPENDIX  "B"  10 

every  night.  His  proportion  may  be  wrong,  but  cut  it  down 
40%  and  that  would  mean  that  a  billion  and  a  half  people  go 
to  bed  hungry  every  night — and  you've  got  a  horrible  situ- 
ation— and  then  you  understand  why  it  is  that  we  have 
difficulty  killing  Communism  throughout  the  world.  It's  a 
symbol  of  one  of  the  great  evils  in  the  world  that  are  mani- 
fested in  that  particular  way. 

I  like  the  way  Stanley  Jones  put  it  when  he  said, 
"there's  only  one  way  to  beat  the  Communists  and  that  is 
to  beat  them  to  it."  And  we  have  to  reveal  that  we  are  at 
once  more  humane  and  more  compassionate  in  the  fact  of 
these  needs,  that  democracy  is  swifter  and  more  efficient 
in  meeting  the  needs  if  we  are  to  cope  with  Communism 
to-day.  We  have  to  deal  positively  if  we  are  going  to  ac- 
complish anything  worthwhile. 

We  discovered,  too.  that  these  principles  that  we  proclaim 
in  Freemasonry  can  be  understood  only  through  action.  A 
man  named  Goethe,  a  great  German  poet,  a  Mason,  it  is  said 
his  dying  words  were  "more  light."  I  don't  know  about  that 
but  I  do  know  that  he  left  five  words  in  English  which  have 
great  significance,  when  he  said:  "the  highest  cannot  be 
spoken." 

The  late  L.  P.  Jacks,  editor  of  the  Hibbert  Journal,  and! 
Principal  of  the  Manchester  College  in  Oxford  said,  this  does 
not  mean  now  that  the  highest  will  forever  escape  us  because 
it  cannot  be  spoken.  What  Goethe  meant  was  the  highest 
cannot  be  spoken  because  it  can  be  acted  only.  And  he  said 
it  is  through  action  that  we  not  only  grasp  firmly  ourselves 
but  that  we  communicate  it  clearly  to  one  another.  There  is 
a  language  of  action,  as  well  as  a  language  of  words,  and  that 
it  is  true  the  language  of  action  is  the  more  telling,  more 
intelligible,  more  unmistakable  and,  in  the  deepest  sense, 
more  eloquent. 

Is  this  man  Jacks  right?  Decide  for  yourselves.  Take 
love  for  example;  here  the  highest  cannot  be  spoken;  you 
can  write  poetry  about  love  until  you  exhaust  your  vocabu- 
lary; you  can  sdng  about  love  until  your  voice  is  reduced  to 
a  whisper  and  still  you  do  not  know  what  love  is.  But  when 
you  se  a  mother  take  garments  from  her  own  freezing  body 
and  wrap  them  around  the  body  of  a  child,  her  child,  that  it 
might  be  warm,  then  you  know  what  love  is — because  the 
highest  cannot  be  spoken;  it  can  be  acted. 

All  that  the  moralists  have  written  about  integrity 
cannot  make  us  understand  it  as  well  as  Sir  Walter  Scott 
does  in  the  closing  years  of  his  life  when  he  slaved  to  write 
in  order  that  he  might  be  able  to  discbarge  his  financial 
obligations  for  which  he  had  no  legal  obligation. 


11  APPENDIX  "B" 

Now  there  is  integrity  in  action.  We  talk  about  Free- 
masonry, about  brotherhood;  we  learn,  of  course,  that  brother- 
hood doesn't  mean  acting-  towards  those  who  are  our  brothers 
in  Freemasomy  because,  you  see  we've  pushed  back  the 
walls  of  the  Lodge  to  the  edge  of  creation.  We  have  to 
develop  the  universality  of  Freemasonry  and  clarity  of 
brotherhood  should  be  equally  intensive,  that  is,  a  man  is 
not  a  true  Mason  until  he  is  a  brother  of  all  of  the  sons  of 
men. 

Brotherhood  cannot  be  spoken;  it  must  be  acted,  acted 
as  Mark  Ball  acted  it.  for  example.  Mark  Ball  is  the  Super- 
intendent of  our  Masonic  Home  in  Charlton,  Massachusetts, 
high  on  a  hill,  not  far  from  Route  20.  the  main  highway 
between  Boston  and  New  York.  In  1955 — many  of  you  up 
here  will  well  remember  Hurricane  Hazel  and  how  it  doubled 
back  on  its  course,  deluged  Massachusetts  with  a  rain  until 
a  whispering  stream  became  a  raging  torrent,  and  bridges 
were  swept  away  like  matches,  and  that  happened  down  in 
Charlton. 

Now  Mark  Ball  sent  a  message  out  on  the  air  to  the 
Village  of  Charlton  that  if  any  there  were  marooned,  to  come 
up  to  the  Home  and  he  would  try  and  find  food  and  shelter 
for  them.  And  they  came;  eighty-five  in  number  came  up 
to  this  Home,  and  some  of  them  stayed  for  as  long  as  seventy- 
two  hours  there,  in  spite  of  the  fact  that  they  had  no  power 
in  the  Home,  yet  they  took  care  of  those  eighty-five  people. 
Mark  Ball  didn't  send  out  a  message  "if  there  are  any  Masons 
down  there — this  is  a  Masonic  Home — if  there  are  any 
Masons  down  there  let  them  come  up  and  then  they  would 
receive  admission  by  card,  or  cryptic  word,  or  sign!  There 
wasn't  anything-  like  that  at  all.  The  only  qualification  for 
admission  was  their  need.  That  was  brotherhood  in  action; 
that  was  Freemasonry  at  its  ultimate  best. 

Some  of  you  who  are  Kipling  fans  will  remember  that 
Kipling  had  his  own  way.  talking  about  this  particular  thing. 
You  remember  that  story  of  his  about  Tomlinson — how  does 
it  go: 

Now    Tomlinson    gave    up    the    ghost   in    his    house    in 

Berkely  Square 
And  a  spirit  came  to  his  bedside  and  gripped  him  by  the 

hai1", 
A   spirit   gripped  him  by  the  hair  and  carried  ham  far 

away, 
Till  he  heard  as  the  roar  of  a  rain-fed  ford  the  roar  of 

the  milky  way: 
Till  he  heard  the  roar  of  the  milky  way  die  down  and 

drone  and  cease, 
And  they  came  to  the  gate  within  the  wall  where  Peter 

holds  the  keys. 


APPENDIX  "B"  12 

'Stand    up,    stand   up    now,  Tomlinson,    and  answer  loud 

and  high 
The  good  that   ye  did  for  the  sake  of  men  or  ever   ye 

came  to  die — 
The  good  that  ye  did  for  the  sake  of  men  on  little  earth 

so  lone!" 
And  the  naked  soul  of  Tomlinson  grew  white  as  a  rain- 
washed  bone. 
The  winds  that  blow  between  the  worlds  it  cut  him  like 

a  knife. 
And  Tomlinson  took  up  the  tale  and  spoke  of  his  good 

in  life. 
'Oh  this  I  have  read  in  a  book',  he  said,  and  that  was 

told  to  me, 
And  this  I  have  thought  that  another   man  thought  of 

a  Prince  in  Muscovy; 
The  good  souls  flocked  like  homing  doves  and  bade  him 

clear  the  path, 
And  Peter  twirled  his   jangling  keys   in  weariness   and 

wrath. 
'Ye  have  read,  ye  have  heard,  ye  have  thought',  he  said, 

'and  the  tale  is  yet  to  run: 
By  the  worth  of  the  body  that  once  ye  had,  now  tell  me 

— what  have  ye  done?' 

What  have  you  done?     That  is  the  ultimate  question. 

All  that  we  proclaim  in  the  way  of  principle,  all  that  we 
proclaim  in  the  way  of  ideal  finds  its  proof  in  action — and 
comes  to  life  in  action. 

Somebody  said,  "what  can  we  do  as  Masons,  we  are 
prohibited  from  doing  so  much  because  we  are  not  allowed 
to,  so  how  can  we  make  a  good  Impact  on  the  life  of  the 
world?"  Well,  not  by  going  into  the  political  arena  and 
using  Masonry  as  a  club  with  which  to  disable  our  enemies, 
or  even  as  a  tool  by  which  we  can  help  our  friends — what  can 
we  do  ? 

Well,  even  in  the  face  of  those  conditions  Masons  need 
not  be  supine  or  helpless.  Freemasonry  must  be  neutral, 
but  Masons  may  not  be  neutral.  We  want  no  part  of  the  man 
described  in  the  "Advise  and  Consent",  that  best-seller  at  the 
present  time,  who  was  described  as  "the  Equivocal  Man", 
the  man  who  could  always  find  a  good  reason  for  being 
hospitable  to  this,  could  always  find  an  excuse  for  not  being 
too  hostile  to  that:  a  man  who  can  slide  in  between  the  sharp 
edges  of  clashing  principles  and  find  some  glib  and  woozy 
area  of  gummy  compromise  that  effectively  blurs  everything. 

A  Mason  must  take  sides  in  every  community,  yours  and 
mine.  Every  community  is  organized  for  the  purpose  of 
aiding  the  lives  of  the  people  of  that  particular  community, 


13  APPENDIX  "B" 

and  there   isn't   any   place  where  we   can   divorce   ourselves 
from  the  lives  of  the  community,  not  as  Masons  we  can't. 

There  is  something  there  that  can  be  done  for  the  com- 
munity by  each  of  us.  We  belong  to  two  classes,  and  two 
classes  only.  I  never  think  of  those  two  classes  but  what  I 
think  of  the  expression  that  I  read  one  time  'that  all  men  are 
divided  into  two  classes — those  who  do  what  their  wives  tell 
them,  and  those  who  aren't  married.'  (Laughter). 

In  our  communities  there  are  those  two  classes,  there  are 
those  who  are  part  of  the  problems  of  the  community,  and 
there  are  those  who  are  part  of  the  solution  of  the  problems 
of  the  community. 

Now  you  know  what  I  mean  when  I  say  'what  can  we 
do?'  We  can  take  our  side  affirmatively  on  the  side  of  those 
who  belong  to  the  solution  of  the  problems  of  the  community. 

It's  not  enough  to  say  that  we  believe  in  the  general 
principles  of  Freemasonry  unless  we  are  willing  to  accept 
the  particular  imperatives  dictated  by  those  general  princi- 
ples and,  if  I  may  use  my  own  field  as  an  illustration,  there 
is  no  way  by  which  I  can  honestly  say  that  I  am  interested 
in  keeping  the  idea  of  God.  the  life  of  the  world,  and  then 
become  completely  indifferent  to  the  one  instrument,  'that  is, 
mediating  the  idea  of  God  to  the  life  of  the  world. 

We  must  be  interested  in  ultimate  ends,  but  we  must 
also  be  interested  in  the  immediate  urgencies  so  that  our 
ultimate  ends  may  be  realized  in  the  world. 

Now  it's  not  enough  for  us  to  dream  up  dreams  of  great 
ends  that  we  desire  in  life;  we  must  become  part  of  the  day 
by  day  compulsions  by  which  those  dreams  can  find  reality. 

Freemasonry  is  not  an  escape  mechanism;  it  isn't  an 
ivory  tower;  it  is  not  an  escape  from  the  problems  and  the 
tensions  that  are  increasingly  inevitable  in  our  particular 
kind  of  world.  Freemasonry  presents  to  us  the  obligation,  an 
obligation  from  which  we  cannot  escape  by  playing  at  the 
idea  of  brotherhood  as  a  substitute  for  the  realities  of  that 
brotherhood — as  somebody  has  said,  "it  takes  away  all  of 
our  cushions  and  leaves  us  with  a  cross."  Freemasonry 
means  the  release  of  Freemasonry  as  a  great,  constructive 
force  in  the  life  of  the  world. 

We  are  privileged  men.  To  us  has  been  given  a  vision 
of  a  new  life  for  humanity,  a  vision  of  a  better  life  for  the 
world,  and  to  us  is  ever  committed  the  obligation  of  trying 
to  translate  that  vision  and  that  dream  into  reality — not  at 
some  time  in  the  future,  but  now. 


APPENDIX  "B"  14 

"This  is  your  hour,  creep  up  on  it, 
Summon  your  power,  leap  upon  it; 
Grasp  it,  clasp  it,  hold  it  tight; 
Strike  it,  spike  it  with  full  might; 
If  you  take  too  long  to  ponder, 
Opportunity  may  wander. 
Hesitation  is  a  mire; 
Climb  up,  climb  out,  climb  on  higher! 
Do  your  best  and  do  it  now! 
Live  your  best,  and  Live  it  now!" 

Thankyou. 

DEPUTY  GRAND  MASTER,  R.  W.TRELEAVEN: 

Most  Wor.  Grand  Master,  Distinguished  Guests:  Any 
man  who  is  accustomed  to  public  speaking  does  not  need  a 
formal  vote  of  thanks  to  express  to  him  the  attitude  of  the 
audience  to  which  he  has  been  speaking.  He  knows  as  he 
goes  along  whether  his  address  is  being  appreciated  or  not, 
and  our  distinguished  guest,  therefore,  needs  no  words  of 
mine  to  thank  him  on  your  behalf  for  this  splendid  address. 
The  rapt  attention  that  was  given  to  his  address,  the  spontan- 
eous and  hearty  applause  which  greeted  him  as  he  closed  his 
address  have  told  him — by  action  if  you  will — better  than  any 
words  could  explain  how  well  his  address  has  been  appreciated. 

I  think,  my  brethren,  that  he  has  flattered  us  to-night 
by  addressing  us  on  a  high  intellectual  plane.  He  has  not 
sought  to  please  us  with  a  lot  of  pious  platitudes  which  we 
like  to  hear  but  which  are  not  particularly  stimulating.  He 
has  flattered  us  by  speaking  to  us,  as  I  have  said,  on  a  high 
intellectual  plane  and  he  has  exalted  Masonry. 

I  venture  to  suggest.  Most  Worshipful  Sir, — I  know  this 
is  true  in  my  case,  I  believe  it  is  true  in  the  case  of  everyone 
of  this  audience  to-night — 'that  Masonry  is  going  to  mean 
a  little  bit  more  to  us  from  now  on  because  of  this  splendid 
address  which  we  have  heard  to-night  and,  sir,  therefore,  on 
behalf  of  this  grroup,  may  I  accept  this  task  which  has  been 
allotted  to  me  of  thanking  you  most  heartily.  (Applause). 

DR.  THOMAS  S.  ROY:       Thank  you. 

GRAND  MASTER  C.  McL.  PITTS: 

I  think,  my  brethren,  you  will  agree  with  me  that  it  was 
a  most  fortunate  opportunity  that  led  me  to  contact  Dr.  Roy 
at  a  Masonic  gathering  and  become  assured  of  his  acceptance 
of  being  with  us  to-night. 

We  are  grateful  to  you,  Dr.  Roy,  and  there  again  are 
placed  under  obligation  to  you  for  your  wonderful  address 
this  evening. 


16  APPENDIX  "B" 

Now,  my  brethren,  we  have  had  a  wonderful  feast  of 
wisdom  and  inspiration  in  our  talk  on  Freemasonry  and  our 
great  fraternal  association  together.  And  now,  my  brethren, 
you  are  dismissed. 

— Adjourned  sine  die.
