A BRIEF BIOGRAPHY OF OUR
GRAND MASTER
Robert Edwin Davies was born in Mount Forest,
Ontario, October 5, 1931. Here he received his elemen-
tary and secondary school education. Always a good
scholar and a fine athlete, he was the recipient of several
academic and athletic awards and trophies. His extra-
curricular activities as President of the student council and
quarterback of the football team attest to his leader-
ship ability even at this early age.
In 1948, during his final school year, owing to the
sudden illness and subsequent passing of his father, he
took over the family retail business and has operated it
most successfully ever since.
In 1954 he married Annabelle Christie of HopevUle
and the Davies now have three children, the eldest, Kathy,
a graduate of the University of Waterloo — now enrolled
at the Ontario Teacher Education College, Hamilton;
Robert, presently at home in the family business; and the
youngest, Lynn, a student at the Mount Forest District
High School.
He is a member of the United Church and over the
years has served on many committees and boards, both in
the Church and also in the Sunday School.
Always interested in his community, your Grand
Master is a past director of the Mount Forest Boy Scout
Group, past director of the Mount Forest Louise Marshall
Hospital Board, former member of the Mount Forest
Cameron Highlanders Pipe Band, and past President of
the Mount Forest Investment Club. His many hobbies
include all sports, and amateur radio where he is the
holder of an Advanced Amateur Radio License and can
be identified around the world by the call sign VE3ERD.
Being initiated, passed and raised in St. Albans
Lodge, No. 200, in 1952, he became Worshipful Master
in 1960, and in 1961 was elected District Deputy Grand
Master of Grey District. March 1964 saw him appointed
the Representative of the Grand Lodge of Louisiana
which Grand Lodge conferred upon him the rank of Past
Junior Grand Warden. In July of the same year he was
appointed a member of the Board of General Purposes
of our Grand Lodge, a position to which he has been
subsequently elected for five successive two-year terms.
Chairman of the Committee on Fraternal Dead in 1971
and 1972, he was then appointed for 1973 and 1974
Chairman of Benevolence, a committee with which he had
been closely associated during his entire tenure as a mem-
ber of the Board of General Purposes. He was elected
Deputy Grand Master in July 1975 and Grand Master in
July 1977.
Our Grand Master is a member of the Royal City
Lodge of Perfection; Past Most Wise Sovereign of the
Guelph Chapter Rose Croix; member of the Moore Sov-
ereign Consistory; Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite
of Canada; a member of the Ancient and Arabic Order
Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, Mocha Temple, London;
the Royal Order of Scotland and was coroneted Honorary
Inspector-General, 33°, at the Annual Meeting of the
Supreme Council, A. & A.S.R. of Canada, in Hamilton,
September 1977.
In 1961, Robert E. Davies was the youngest District
Deputy Grand Master in the Jurisdiction and now at 45
years of age becomes one of the youngest to be elected
Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Canada in the
Province of Ontario.

40 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION
GRAND MASTER'S ADDRESS
To the Officers and Members of the Most Worshipful
Grand Lodge, A. F. & A. M. of Canada, in the
Province of Ontario.
My Brethren :
It is my pleasure and privilege to address you, my
brethren, as I did last year, at the end of another Masonic
year as your Grand Master. This has been a most memor-
able year in my life, with many honors and courtesies be-
stowed upon me, a year not without certain problems
but overridden with the great privilege of serving you
and the cause of Masonry in all parts of our Grand Juris-
diction and in our neighboring Jurisdictions both in
Canada and in the United States.
We are pleased and proud to welcome so many of our
fellov; Grand Masters and their representatives from
other Grand Lodges, as well as those other distinguished
Masons representing Masonic bodies with whom we are
at amity. My wife and I (and occasionally a Past Grand
Master and his wife representing our Grand Lodge) have
visited almost all the Grand Jurisdictions represented and
appreciate so much the gracious hospitality and the many
kindnesses and courtesies extended to us. It is a pleasure
to reciprocate and I hope that our distinguished guests
and their ladies will enjoy the activities of this 122nd Com-
munication of the Grand Lodge of Canada in the Province
of Ontario.
Perhaps the highlight of this year's term of office was
being selected and elected as Chairman of the Conference
of Grand Masters of North America which met in Wash-
ington in February, and presiding over that great Confer-
ence. This was, I feel, a great honor for our Canadian
Grand Lodge, as the Conference is composed of 49 United
States Grand Lodges, 9 Canadian Grand Lodges and the
York Grand Lodge of Mexico. It was a great experience
working with M.W. Bro. Wm. B. Stansbury, the Executive
Secretary-Treasurer of the Conference.
TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1977 41
I was very honored, indeed, to be presented with
distinguished Masonic Service medals — the Erasmus
James Phillips Medal by the Grand Lodge of Nova Scotia;
the Josiah Hayden Drummond Medal by the Grand Lodge
of Maine; and the Pierpont Edwards Medal by the Grand
Lodge of Connecticut.
NECROLOGY
Again, during the past Masonic year, we have lost
some very diligent and very knowledgeable brethren by
death, men who will be greatly missed in this Grand Juris-
diction and especially in their respective parts of the Prov-
ince where their influence was most notably felt.
R.W. BRO. W. H. KIPP
A Member of the Board of General Purposes of our
Grand Lodge from 1955 to 1959. Bro. Kipp served St.
John's Lodge, No. 20, London, Ontario, as Secretary for
23 years. He was called to the Grand Lodge Above on
February 2, 1977. He will be missed by all who knew him
and his many contributions to Craft Masonry and other
branches of our Order will be long remembered.
V.W. BRO. GEORGE T. KENNEDY
Bro. Kennedy was bom September 21, 1875, and
celebrated his centennial in 1975. He was initiated into St.
Thomas Lodge, No. 44, on September 22, 1897, and was
at the time of his passing on November 16, 1976, over 101
years of age. In 1942 he served as Grand Director of
Ceremonies. Bro. Kennedy was an honorary member of
all lodges in St. Thomas District and an ardent Mason and
regular attender of all these lodges almost up to the time
of his death. A fine gentleman, an outstanding Mason, and
he will be sadly missed by his many Masonic friends. He
had been a Mason for over seventy-nine years.
PAST RANK
(1) It was my pleasure to appoint V.W. Bro. Cecil J.
Blake of Wardrope Lodge, No. 555, Hamilton, a
42 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION
Grand Standard Bearer on July 22, 1976. Bro. Blake
served with distinction until his passing on March
12, 1977. I recommend that past rank be granted
posthumously.
(2) Wor. Bro. James Foote of Lansdowne Lodge No.
387, was to be installed Worshipful Master at the
regular meeting on December 27, 1975, but was
unable to attend because of a temporary illness. He
was installed at the regular meeting in February
1976 and has served that office with distinction. I
recommend he be granted rank of Past Master.
(3) Wor. Bro. Gerald Tearne was installed as Worship-
ful Master of Sioux Lookout Lodge, No. 518, on
June 24, 1976. He passed away, suddenly, in
August of that year. Bro. Tearne was an ardent
Mason and I recommend he be granted past rank
posthumously.
(4) Wor. Bro. Mervin White was installed Worshipful
Master of Prince Arthur Lodge, No. 333, Flesherton,
on June 11, 1976, and passed to the Grand Lodge
Above on May 13, 1977. He attended and presided
at nine regular meetings. I recommend he be granted
the rank of Past Master, posthumously.
(5) Wor. Bro. Harry E. Downing was to have been in-
stalled Worshipful Master of Doric Lodge, No. 316,
Weston, on January 15, 1976; he was hospitalized
and his installation took place on March 18, 1976.
He carried out his responsibilities in a most suitable
manner for ten months. I recommend he be granted
the rank of Past Master.
(6) Wor. Bro. George E. Williams was duly installed as
Worshipful Master of Acacia Lodge, No. 561,
Ottawa, on May 18, 1976. He was promoted to
Inspector of the R.C.M.P. and posted to New-
foundland and only presided over three meetings of
his lodge because of the great distance required to
TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1977 43
commute. I recommend he be granted rank of Past
Master.
(7) Wor. Bro. Donald Morcombe was installed Worship-
ful Master of Hazeldean Lodge, No. 517, Hazeldean,
Ontario, on June 16, 1976. He conducted three of
their meetings, but business interests required him to
spend much of the year in Alberta. Bro. Morcombe
flew from Alberta at his own expense to conduct the
April and June meetings. He directed the affairs of
the lodge by mail, telephone, etc. The lodge prosper-
ed under his command. I recommend that Bro.
Morcombe be granted rank of Past Master.

VISITATIONS TO OTHER GRAND LODGES
AND MASONIC BODIES
I had the great pleasure of attending the Grand Com-
munications of many other Grand Lodges both in Canada
and in the United States of America. Everywhere the
spirit of Brotherhood was highly evident and these visits
(accompanied by my wife) were not only enjoyable but
instructive as well. Several of our Past Grand Masters
attended Grand Communications representing our Grand
Lodge when it was impossible for me to be present and I
thank them for so doing.
A list of these visitations to other Grand Jurisdictions
is found in Appendix A.
APPOINTMENT
In recognition of his great work in the building of
the Ottawa Masonic Temple, on the occasion of the
Dedication January 15, 1977, I had the pleasure of ap-
pointing W. Bro. Edwin A. Gardner a Grand Steward of
the Grand Lodge of Canada in the Province of Ontario.
I request from Grand Lodge approval of this ap-
pointment and past rank for this brother.
LODGE BUILDINGS DEDICATED
I was pleased to have the privilege of dedicating the
new lodge premises of Connaught Lodge, No. 511,
Thunder Bay, on September 18, 1976. I commend the
brethren on their efforts and wish them well for the future.
R.W. Bro. Robert E. Davies, Deputy Grand Master,
officiated at the dedication ceremonies of the new Masonic
TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1977 47
Hall of Scott Lodge, No. 421, Grand Valley, on October
13, 1976.
On January 15, 1977, it was a particular pleasure,
along with a large group of Grand Lodge officers, to
dedicate the beautiful, new Masonic Temple in Ottawa.
The brethren in our nation's capital are justifiably proud
of this spacious new accommodation.
It was also a great Masonic event for Norwood
Lodge, No. 223, Norwood, when on March 28, 1977, I
was privileged to dedicate their new lodge premises, where
the building was converted beautifully to Masonic use
from a church.
On March 2, 1977, R.W. Bro. Ronald E. Groshaw,
Grand Senior Warden, with a team of Grand Lodge
officers, dedicated the new Temple of King George V
Lodge, No. 498, Coboconk, and, on May 27, 1977, M.W.
Bro. Wm. L. Wright, Past Grand Master, dedicated the
new Temple of Hornepayne Lodge, No. 636, Hornepayne.
The brethren of these two lodges are to be congratulated
on their faithful efforts to build new Temples.

GRAND MASTER'S BANQUET
This year, at our Grand Master's Banquet, we are
especially privileged to have Bro. The Very Reverend
A. Lome MacKay as our guest speaker. He was until
June the Moderator of the Presbyterian Church of Canada,
is the Provincial Grand Master of the Royal Order of
Scotland in Ontario, and a good friend. He is coming back
from his beloved Prince Edward Island to address us and
I am certain that he will thrill us with his oration.
OPERATION LIFELINE
This is a project started in the Toronto Districts by
W. Bro. Paul Curry and R.W. Bro. R. E. Groshaw,
Grand Senior Warden, to raise $50,000 to purchase for
the Toronto Branch of the Canadian Red Cross a mobile
Blood Donor Clinic — a vehicular unit to collect whole
blood by donations from the general public within a 50
mile radius of Toronto.
TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1977 51
This is a fine, imaginative undertaking and I con-
gratulate those who have committed themselves to its
successful completion — I understand that over one half
of the money has now been collected.
"MEETING THE CHALLENGE"
A new and very useful book has just been com-
pleted and distributed entitled "Meeting the Challenge".
It is, in essence, a manual for lodge officers and contains
an excellent chapter on Etiquette and Protocol. I should
Hke, on behalf of Grand Lodge, to thank those responsible
for this publication, among whom are R.W. Bro. Wallace
McLeod, M.W. Bro. W. K. Bailey, R.W. Bro. N. R.
Richards and R.W. Bro. C. D. MacKenzie.
MASONIC FOUNDATION OF ONTARIO
As you are aware, the Masonic Foundation of
Ontario has established a goal of half a milhon dollars
by 1980, when this Grand Lodge will celebrate its 125th
Anniversary. Donations are coming in fairly well, but I
commend it to those of you who have not yet contributed
— i.e. to make a donation as generous as you can afford
annually, and/ or arrange for a sum for the Foundation
in your will.
PROCEEDINGS
The cost of printing the Proceedings of Grand
Lodge has increased to $9.35 per copy for 1976. I recom-
mend that, in the future, a copy, free of charge, will be
sent to each of our constituent lodges, to each member
of the Board of General Purposes, to each incoming
District Deputy Grand Master, to all Grand Represent-
atives and to all appointed officers of Grand Lodge.
Further copies will be made available to all members at
$5.00 a copy. Should you wish a copy, please place your
order through the Grand Secretary, enclosing your cheque
or money order as soon as possible in order that he may
know how many to order.
52 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION
HONORARY MEMBER OF THE BOARD
I recommend that R.W. Bro. Eric C. Horwood,
Chairman of the Advisory Committee on Lodge Build-
ings, be appointed an honorary member of the Grand
Lodge Board of General Purposes. Our Grand Lodge is
fortunate, indeed, to have a man with his expertise and
one who is constantly and diligently applying his know-
ledge to the benefit of the Craft.
APPRECIATIONS
I have been informed that R.W. Bro. J. J. Talman
has decided to withdraw from a very important function
which he has been serving for many years — the analysis
and summation of our Fraternal Reviews. May 1 express
to him the grateful appreciation of Grand Lodge for the
excellent manner in which he has performed this task
for such a long period of time.
I should like, also, to thank R.W. Bro. Rod Connor.
He has driven me many thousands of miles on official
Masonic functions for many years, but especially during
my term as Deputy Grand Master and Grand Master.
This has been very much appreciated and I now seize
the opportunity to thank our G.L. Chairman of Blood
Donor Committee publicly.
The office of Grand Master entails many duties
and much responsibility, but it could not be satisfactorily
performed without the dihgent and knowledgeable assist-
ance and co-operation of so many distinguished Masons
— the Grand East is a tower of strength (this includes our
Past Grand Masters, the Grand Secretary, the Grand
Treasurer and the Deputy Grand Master), and the Grand
Lodge Board of General Purposes offers firm support.
I should like to particularly thank our Grand Secretary,
M.W. Bro. John A. Irvine, whose efficiency, detailed
knowledge, equanimity and tact never cease to amaze me.
The staff at our Grand Lodge office, which includes R.W.
Bro. James C. Guy, V.W. Bro. Douglas H. BHss and
TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1977 53
five very efficient and courteous ladies, are a joy to work
with.
SPECIAL MENTION
A very enthusiastic member of this Grand Lodge,
V.W. Bro. Albert Batten was, in December 1976, made a
member of the Order of Canada by Governor General
Jules Leger — this was conferred in recognition of valua-
ble work done in many countries on behalf of the League
of Red Cross Societies. This well deserved recognition
reflects credit on our Masonic Order and we extend the
congratulations of Grand Lodge to this worthy recipient
of that high honor.
CONCLUSION
What of the future of Masonry — of our great moral
and benevolent Institution? It is interesting and perhaps
informative to ponder this important prognosis and specu-
late about it. The pessimists among us point out that we
are losing members, that the members are losing interest,
and that Masonry is losing its influence as well, i.e. its
impact on the community. The optimists, however, point
out that Masonry has always had its ups and downs, its
waxing and waning, and it has persisted for centuries
and will continue in the long run to progress as a great
and good moral influence in the lives of men.
The past is secure — Masonry has an illustrious
history with monarchs themselves exchanging the scepter
for the gavel — but what of the future? Joseph Fort
Newton, the great Masonic scholar, wrote fifty years ago
"to go on making men Masons as we are now doing by
wholesale, without giving them an intelligent and authentic
knowledge of what Masonry is, or what it means, with no
definite objects beyond fellowship and philanthropy —
objects to which other Orders are equally devoted — is
for Masonry to lose, by ignorance or neglect what has
been distinctive in its history and genesis, and invite
degeneration, if not disaster."
54 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION
It is, therefore, important that in our Lodges and in
Grand Lodge we stress proper, efficient and knowledge-
able Masonic Education so that our time is devoted, to
a greater extent, to teaching the great moral precepts of
Masonry and not just to the usual and sometimes only
activity of Initiating, Passing and Raising. Entire meetings
could and should be devoted to Masonic teachings, as
indeed they are already in certain lodges.
In order to persist and progress, I feel that Masonry
must change in its relationship to society in general. By
this, I do not mean that we as Masons should change
our basic principles and high moral tenets to conform
to modern society with its marked relaxation of the moral
code, its denial of the sanctity of marriage, its ready ac-
ceptance of common-law relationships, its tolerance of
the use of alcohol and mood-altering drugs. Rather, we
should work and strive to have society change to our
high ideals.
What is the present image of Masonry in the eye of
a non-mason? If you converse with members of the so-
called younger generation, there is no image — many of
them have either never heard of Masons, or, if they have,
consider us all Shriners, whom they have seen or at least
know about. They know little or nothing about Craft
Masonry.
It is in our relationship to the community that we
must change and, to a considerable extent, on this our
future depends. In days past, even within the knowledge of
some of our older brethren present, the most active
men in any community were always known to be Masons.
These men were prominent in local charitable drives,
regional projects, church and civic government. Without
blatantly advertising our Craft, it is encumbent upon us
to be more extroverted in our outlook, not as introverted
as we have become, so that it can truthfully be said that
we are applying our great moral principles in a practical
way to the life of our community.
TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1977 55
It is my firm belief that Masonry, with its rich
heritage of history and philanthropy founded on lofty
principles of morality and with the proviso that we con-
tinue to adhere to these excellent precepts, will continue to
flourish, to prosper and to progress in the years ahead,
but only if we can turn our sights more to the community
and its needs and each of us take a more active part,
as Masons, in the worthwhile activities of society in this
modern world.
Sincerely and fraternally,
ERIC W. NANCEKIVELL,
Grand Master.

DECEASED BRETHREN
This Report was presented by R.W. Bro. M. J.

TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1977 57
To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master and Members of Grand
Lodge, A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province of Ontario.
Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:
It is customary in the proceedings of our Grand Lodge Com-
munication to draw aside the curtain of memory for a brief
moment and bring to mind those of our members who have been
removed from our sphere of activity and have passed to the Grand
Lodge beyond our sight, eternal in the Heavens and we pray the
solemnity of this occasion may bind us yet closer to the ties of
brotherly love.
Let us remember with thanksgiving those who by their lives
and vocation have helped to spread the ideals of peace and con-
tentment, love and charity, throughout our Order; that encour-
aged by their example we may be strengthened to hand on to our
successors the noble traditions of our beloved fraternity.
The Brethren whose memory we recall today lived in the
faith transmitted to them from a previous generation and we live
in the faith passed on by them. They have left us a beautiful
memory of their intense dedication and service, all done with a
quiet dignity. It is this continuity and sense of security that makes
Freemasonry of such tremendous import on our lives.
"And ever near us, though unseen
The dear immortal spirits tread.
For all the boundless universe
Is life; there are no dead."
We should find some measure of compulsion to offer thanks-
giving and honour and glory unto the Almighty Creator that
from ancient times He hath put into the hearts of men to make
offerings and memorials. We who pass this way should be mindful
that we benefit from the labours of our Brethren who have gone
before and may thereby be encouraged to leave something of
ourselves for future generations.
In our search for inspiration, let us reflect briefly upon the
writings of Brother Dr. Rob Morris, LL.D., (1818 - 1888), a
writer and lecturer on Freemasonry and by universal consent —
Masonic Poet Laureate. While strolling home from a visit with
a neighbour he paused long enough to record on a scrap of paper
what he chose to call — "The Level and the Square," in which
he breathed out a depth of feeling, fervency and pathos, with
brilliancy and vigor of language and expressed due faith in the
immortal life beyond the grave. In part —
58 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION
"There's a world where all are equal, we are hurrying
toward it fast.
We shall meet upon the level there when the gates of
death are past;
We shall stand before the Orient, and our Master
will be there.
To try the blocks we offer by His own unerring square.
"We shall meet upon the level there, but never thence
depart;
There's a mansion, 'tis all ready for each zealous.
faithful heart;
There's a mansion and a welcome, and a multitude
is there,
Who have met upon the level and been tried upon
the square."
The passing of those we honour at this time and of those
who will not be mentioned has brought sorrow and loneliness to
relatives and many friends, nor has that period come to an end.
May our words of deepest sympathy help ease the loss they bear
and may it comfort them somewhat to know that others care.
But when the great and good depart,
What is it more than this —
That man, who is from God sent forth.
Doth yet again to God return.
Such ebb and flow must ever be.
Then wherefore should we mourn?
It has been a rewarding experience to be the Chairman of
your Committee on Deceased Brethren throughout the past year
and with the concurrence of my twelve associates who have
served the committee well, I express our profound thanks to
the Most Worshipful the Grand Secretary and the Grand Lodge
office personnel for the manner in which they assembled the
statistical portion of this Report. We also acknowledge the
efforts of the Lodge Secretaries and the District Deputy Grand
Masters in despatching the pertinent details pertaining to a
brother upon his demise.
When all is done, and my last word is said,
And ye who loved me murmur "He is dead,"
Let no one weep for fear that I should know
And sorrow too that ye should sorrow so.
In conclusion, our fervent prayer would be "We thank thee,
O God our Creator, for the lives of Thy servants who have gone
TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1977

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

MEMORIAL SERVICE
Grand Chaplain:
The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the
everlasting arms. Deuteronomy 33:27
I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that he shall
stand at the latter day upon earth. Job 19:25
The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: yea, it
is even he that shall keep thy soul.
The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy com-
ing in, from this time forth for evermore. Psalm
121:7,8
Prayer of Invocation:
Almighty Father, the source from which we come, the
end to which we travel, the light and strength of our pil-
grimage, and the repose of the holy and blessed dead,
bind us, we pray Thee, in comradeship with the heroes
and saints of every age. In this hour of solemn remem-
brance, we think of our brethren who have faithfully lived
and died, and especially those most near to us. Lift us all
into light and love, and give us at last our portion with
those who have trusted in Thee, and have striven to do
Thy Will.
And to Thy Name, with the brethren on earth and
the brethren above, we ascribe all honour and glory.
Amen.
Psalm 23 (Reading responsively):
1. The Lord is my shepherd; therefore can I lack nothing.
2. He shall feed me in a green pasture, and lead me forth
beside the waters of comfort.
3. He shall restore my soul, and bring me forth in the
paths of righteousness, for his Name's sake.
4. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow
of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me,
thy rod and thy staff comfort me.
5. Thou shalt prepare a table before me in the presence
of them that trouble me; thou hast anointed my
head with oil, and my cup shall be full.
TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1977 73
6. Surely thy loving-kindness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the
house of the Lord for ever.
Memorial Prayer (The brethren stand at the S. of F.)
Almighty God, with Whom do live the spirits of
them that depart hence in the Lord, and with Whom the
souls of the faithful, after they are delivered from the
burden of the flesh, are in joy and felicity; we praise and
magnify Thy Holy Name for all Thy servants who have
finished their course and kept the faith; beseeching Thee
that it may please Thee, of Thy gracious goodness, shortly
to accomplish the number of Thine elect, and to hasten
Thy Kingdom, that we, with all those that are departed in
the true faith of Thy Holy Name, may have our perfect
consummation and bliss, both in body and soul, in Thy
eternal and everlasting glory. Hear our prayer, O God,
and let our cry come unto Thee. Amen.
All respond : So mote it be.
Prayer of Dedication:
Almighty Father, by Whose grace we have life and
in whose light we see light, mercifully grant that this hour
of memory may be a mount of vision, from which new
light shall fall upon our fleeting days; that we may think
of our lives as sent from Thee, on Thy errand for services
Thou hast appointed.
Reverently, O God, we give ourselves to Thee in a
new dedication.
Fill our minds with light and our hearts with love,
that we may serve Thee with patient faith and joyous
confidence. Build our lives into Thy Temple of spiritual
fellowship, and keep us as brethren steadfast in that
fellowship.
Make our days bright with Thy presence, rich in the
fruits of the spirit, and tender in human ministry, that our
lives may be fragrant with happiness.
74 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION
Use US as Thou wilt, our hands to do Thy work, our
Ups to speak Thy truth, our lives to be gospels of Thy love
and mercy; and to Thee be honour and glory, thanksgiv-
ing and adoration, world without end. Amen.
All respond: So mote it be.
Benediction:
May the blessing of the G.A.O.T.U. rest upon us
and upon all our work and worship done in His Name.
May He give us light to guide us, courage to support us,
and love to unite us, now and evermore. Amen.

Chairman.

AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and
Members of Grand Lodge, A.F. & A.M. of Canada,
in the Province of Ontario.
Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:
I have examined the statement of resources of the
Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province of
Ontario as at April 30, 1977 and statements of receipts
and disbursements of the General Fund and the combined
Memorial and Semi-Centennial Fund for the year then
ended. My examination included a general review of the
accounting procedures and such tests of the accounting
records of your Grand Treasurer and Grand Secretary and
TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1977 75
Other supporting evidence as I considered necessary in
the circumstances.
The securities of the General, Memorial and Semi-
centennial Funds as set out in the respective schedules
accompanying the Grand Treasurer's Report arc held
and certified to under date of June 8, 1977 by the
Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce.
In my opinion, these financial statements present
fairly the financial position on a cash basis of the Grand
Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province of Ontario
as at April 30, 1977 and the receipts and disbursements
for the year then ended in accordance with generally ac-
cepted accounting principles applied on a basis consistent
with that of the preceding year.
Yours fraternally,
A. W. PARISH, F.C.A.
GRAND TREASURER'S REPORT
To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and
Members of the Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of
Canada in the Province of Ontario.
Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:
Once again I have the honour to submit the Grand
Treasurer's report covering our latest financial year.
We have had normal returns of income and expendi-
ture with moderate and predictable increases in both
areas. Last year's budget contemplated a substantial
current deficit in our general account, but I am pleased to
report that the actual shortage was negligible. Our publi-
cation costs including printing for resale are included in
current disbursements and if materials still held for sale are
credited, we have closed the year with another operating
surplus.
76 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION
The increased per capita assessment enacted a year
ago has been in force for the latter half of our year and
in the current year will take full effect. Our reserves in
the Memorial and Commutation Funds have increased
moderately from Estate gifts and capitalized fees. By
constantly replacing low-interest maturing securities with
more productive new issues, we have realized a total in-
vestment income which is the highest on record and contri-
butes in financing the efficient functioning of our Grand
Lodge.
Our contributions to our disabled and needy Breth-
ren and their dependents are moderate but considerable
and we must always assume that our individual member-
ship is also responding generously to the needs of others.
As always, I am deeply indebted to the Grand
Secretary and his staff for their helpful assistance through-
out the year in facilitating the work of the Grand Treas-
urer, and to the Chairman of the Committee on Audit
and Finance for his ready and helpful counsel. More
especially I would recognize the masterly performance
of the Grand Lodge Auditor who gives us constant guid-
ance with monthly statements of our accounts and pre-
pares our annual financial statement. This includes
schedules of the year's receipts and disbursements in the
General, Memorial and Commutation Fund accounts as
well as lists and valuations of our securities with sum-
maries which are informative and comprehensive. These
will be quoted in the following pages and are commended
to your attention and study.
Fraternally submitted,
M. CLEEVE HOOPER,
Grand Treasurer.
Presented on behalf of
the Grand Treasurer by the Grand
Secretary.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON
FRATERNAL RELATIONS
This Report was presented by M. Wor. Bro. G. E.
Turner, and on motion of the Deputy Grand Master,
seconded by M. Wor. Bro. Turner, it was received and
adopted.
To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and Members
of the Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province
of Ontario.
M.W. Sir and Brethren:
The problem of fraternal relations — so troublesome to nearly
all Grand Lodges — again appears in the story of the proceedings
of this Committee during the past year. Applications for recog-
nition that have been held over from past years have been added
to by applications from new quarters; and hope of developing
any semblance of a uniform policy in the matter of recognition
seems as distant as ever, even among our Canadian Grand Lodges.
For the present, and probably for years to come, reliance must
be placed on the good sense of individual Masonic authorities, a
good sense that one hopes will lead to a reasonably correct course
between a policy that may be too generous on the one hand, or
in the alternative, to one that is too rigid.
Certainly it is not unfair to state that at present there seems
to be a danger in some quarters from generosity in this matter
of recognition, a danger that appears to be conditioned by a too
TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1977 97
liberal conception of what is called "Universal Freemasonry".
This has led in a few cases to an acceptance into certain folds of
nearly everything that labels itself Masonic, no matter how political
or anti-religious in its practices the suppliant organization may be.
Surely this is a grievous error, one that we hope cannot be laid at
the doors of Canadian Freemasonry. For us, and indeed for all
English-speaking Freemasom"y, the practice of Masonry pure and
undefiled, as laid down by the fathers, should be the sole yard-
stick for acceptance into the household of the faithful.
We have a very few requests on hand and I suggest that
these be laid over until next year, not as a matter of procrastina-
tion, but my feeling is that we should not be hasty in our actions.
Again, we pay tribute to the late M.W. Bro. Harry L. Martyn,
for the outstanding contributions he made as Chairman of this
Committee for so many years.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the Committee.
GEORGE E. TURNER,
Chairman.

The following notice of motion has been received for pre-
sentation to Grand Lodge.
100 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION
"I hereby give Notice of Motion that I will move or cause
to be moved at the Grand Lodge Communication of July 20-21,
1977, the following Amendment of Section 11 — The addition at
the end of the present Section 11, 'The maximum term of office
of members of the Board of General Purposes shall be twelve
years, specifically to apply to the twenty-eight members elected or
appointed and not to include the Grand Master, Past Grand
Masters, the Deputy Grand Master, the Grand Secretary and the
Grand Treasurer, and shall be effective as of July of 1978'."
Your Committee notes that the proposed amendment or
alteration to the present Section 11 only refers to that section,
which would make Section 1 1 inconsistent with at least one other
Section of the Constitution, namely Section 33. Consequently,
your Committee on Constitution and Laws reports that it would
not be in order for this proposed Amendment to be presented to
and considered by Grand Lodge at this Annual Meeting of Grand
Lodge.
REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE
ON MASONIC EDUCATION
This report was presented by R.W. Bro. N. R.
Richards, Chairman, and on motion of the Deputy Grand
Master, seconded by R.W. Bro. Richards, it was received
and adopted.
To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and Members
of Grand Lodge, A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province
of Ontario.
Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:
The purpose of the Committee on Masonic Education is:
(1) to stimulate, supplement and support lodge and district
osophy and symbolism of masonry.
programmes about matters relating to the history, phil-
(2) to arrange for the preparation and distribution of Ma-
sonic literature and information.
(3) to encourage the participation of brethren in Masonic
education and information programmes in lodge and
district meetings.
(4) to provide assistance, when requested, such as helping to
organize seminars and workshops, suggesting resource
personnel for participation and attempting to react to
other requests.
TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1977 101
This report reviews the highlights of Masonic education for
\'>16-11. It is compiled from the reports received from the District
Deputy Grand Masters and from personal involvement in a number
of districts. It is appropriate at the outset to thank the District
Deputy Grand Masters and the supervisors of Masonic Education
they appointed soon after the 121st Communication of Grand
Lodge for the attention, direction and organization given to edu-
cation and information programmes in each of the forty-three
districts.
The Committee is pleased to recognize the valuable contribu-
tion to the overall education and information effort made by
several brethren. Often these activities were not part of the organ-
ized effort of the committee. The Grand Master, in eloquent
manner, delivered addresses that were stimulating, challenging
and informative. During the year he dealt with a large number
of topics and in masterly manner educated and informed those who
were in his presence. The Grand Secretary, M.W. Bro. J. A. Irvine,
shared his expert capabilities in presenting information related to
programmes with particular reference to the operation and ad-
ministration of lodges. Tlie services of M.W. Brother W. K. Bailey,
Custodian of the Work, were in great demand. Several districts
held lodges of instruction and brethren benefited from the guid-
ance, expert knowledge, and interpretation of this learned Mason.
The kind of contribution made by the Grand Chaplain is illustrated
by the following comment contained in the report of the District
Deputy Grand Master for South Huron: "R.W. Bro. Scovil used
as his topic at the District Divine Service The Romance of our
English Volume of the Sacred Law'. This proved to be a real
highlight as far as Masonic education is concerned." Masons of
Ontario were singularly favoured by the presence of V.W. Bro.
Harry Carr in our midst. His address "600 years of Craft Ritual"
was delivered in a manner that will long be remembered by those
who had the good fortune to hear him. V.W. Bro. Carr is recog-
nized on a world-wide basis as a renowned scholar, author and
speaker.
The majority of Supervisors of Masonic Education were serv-
ing for the first time. It is encouraging, however, to note that
many of them had previous experience either at the lodge or
district level. In twenty-two of the districts the District Deputy
and the Supervisor of Masonic Education held a meeting at the
district level to plan and organize a programme for the year ahead.
Tn several districts the supervisor attended each lodge and partici-
pated in an educational programme. Twenty-five districts held
Masonic education nights. Twelve districts reported holdinq
seminars or workshops to consider topics such as Masonry on the
Move, Dare to be a Mason, Meeting the Challenge, and others. An
encouraging aspect of the workshop approach is the trend for
"reater involvement of larger numbers of brethren. Several districts
where workshops have not been held expressed an interest in this
kind of activity and are encouraged to plan for one in the year
ahead. The new publication "Meeting the Challenge" has been
102 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION
enthusiastically received and will, I am certain, serve a very useful
purpose. All districts report making use of the Fraternal Reviews,
the Advance Proceedings, Beyond the Pillars and the First Grand
Master.
It has been the practice in previous years to choose a few
examples of programmes offered in 1976-77 for inclusion in this
report. Space does not make it possible to report on all the in-
teresting programmes, but the following will give you a little idea
about a few of the highlights. Frontenac District held its first
workshop and dealt with the topics. Turning Discussion into De-
cisions, Etiquette in the East, Preparation before the Meeting, and
Effective Ritual Presentation. London East District at the fall
meeting had addresses on the topics 'The History of Grand Lodge
in the Province of Ontario" and "Whither Are You Directing Your
Course?". In conjunction with the brethren of London West Dis-
trict a schedule of inter-lodge visits was arranged between the
lodges of the two districts to provide an opportunity for the
brethren of one district to present Masonic education information
when visiting the other district. In Nipissing Centre District the
Supervisor of Masonic Education prepared ten papers for study
and discussion and these were distributed to the lodges. The Super-
visors of Ottawa Districts 1 and 2 joined forces and organized a
programme for a meeting of the Masters'. Past Masters' and
Wardens' Association. Officers from each district described the
duties of their respective offices in their own words but within
the framework of information contained in the book "Meeting the
Challenge". The continuing planning committee of Waterloo Dis-
trict provides for continuity of Masonic education programmes
from year to year. It is interesting to note how well the brethren
of Waterloo District responded to the opportunity to purchase
books and reading material for their personal libraries.
Interesting programmes were offered in each of the seven
Toronto Districts. In an area where there is a large concentration
of brethren it is not surprising that unique and imaginative pro-
grammes are developed. The following serves to illustrate the
variability of activities. Toronto District 1 had a programme
"Hands Across the District", Toronto District 2 an address on
European Masonry, Toronto District 3 arranged a special night
dealing with "The Many Sides of Masonic Education"; Toronto
District 4 organized a special night with a theme "Masonry, a
Progressive Science". Toronto District 5 offered a multi-media
presentation on the life and music of Mozart by R. Wor. Bro.
Peter de Karwin, Toronto District 6 arranged an exchange of
speakers between Willowdale and York lodges and Toronto
District 7 chose the topic "The Meaning Behind the Ritual" for
their special night. The foregoing in no way does justice to the
extent of the programmes in the Toronto Districts but merely
serves to illustrate the wide variety of topics discussed.
In the questionnaire circulated to districts, one of the ques-
tions was "What is the most talked about topic in Masonry in
TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1977 103
your district?" I find it interesting that more than half the lodges
replied "attendance". Brethren does this not augur well for the
future? In my view it suggests that the brethren present are con-
cerned about what the absent ones are missing. It is appropriate
to associate this concern about attendance with masonic educa-
tion and information programmes because it reminds us of the
continuing need to organize our efforts, so that Masonic educa-
tion will be interesting, stimulating, and satisfying.
I choose to close this report by making reference to an Edu-
cation Night held in Toronto District 1. On that occasion the
brethren from Toronto District 7 dramatized a masonic trial. A
meaningful Masonic message was effectively communicated about
our attitudes to one another as brethren. Because of the oppor-
tunity and privilege of being a mason let us ask the question,
are we continuously on Trial? It is refreshing and gratifying to
know that if we are the verdict continues to be made in our
favour. This is the message I take from what has happened in
Masonic Education in 1976-77. The efforts have been sincere, the
programmes have been effective, the brethren have participated,
the response has been good, the verdict is favourable.
All of which is respectfully and fraternally submitted.
N. R. RICHARDS,
Chairman.
REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON
BENEVOLENCE
R.W. Bro. C. D. MacKenzie presented this report
and on motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by
R.W. Bro. MacKenzie, it was received and adopted.
To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and Members
of the Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province
of Ontario.
Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:
It is both a pleasure and a privilege to present this report on
behalf of the committee. During the past year the work of
benevolence in this jurisdiction has gone forward in a positive
and pleasant way.
This work, to paraphrase the general charge, is of a two-
fold nature. Our first responsibility is to provide direct financial
104 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION
relief to those of our brethren, their widows and orphans who
are in need of such assistance. There are one or two points
concerning this that must be made. It is a common belief that
in today's world of social benefits and reasonable affluence, it
is rare to find people who are in financial want. Nothing could
be further from the truth. While it is true that the Provincial
and Federal Social Services can and do provide much assistance,
there are many cases where this help is either not sufficient or
not available for one reason or another. To these we are able to
offer our help. It is also true that in many cases the assistance
provided is only sufficient to make life barely liveable. To such
people we can offer a small measure of comfort to help make
their declining years a joy rather than a burden. Your committee
recognizes these responsibilities and endeavours to discharge them
in a manner that is both understanding of the applicants need
for benevolence and mindful of our responsibilities to the fratern-
ity at large. Grants are established at our Annual Meeting which
was held this year in Hamilton on June 11 and 12.
Our first responsibility at this meeting is to review the report
from the Supervisor of Benevolence, Right Worshipful Brother
James C. Guy. This report was most satisfactory and the details
of what was accomplished during the year show that the work
of benevolence in our Grand Lodge is being well looked after.
Right Worshipful Brother Guy brings to his responsibilities a
number of talents. His advice, his direct help in a personal way and
his genuine concern for every person in difficulty is reflected in
the manner in which he does his job. It has been my privilege
to be closely associated with him through my capacity as
Chairman and I want to express to him my personal appreciation
and that of the Committee for a job well done. We are fortunate
to have Right Worshipful Brother Guy acting in this capacity.
He is uniquely qualified.
A total of 108 applications were received for review. We are
sorry to report that as usual a large number of these were either
not complete or lacked sufficient detail for the Committee to
adequately assess the needs of the applicants and establish a
grant. We cannot over emphasize the need for complete inforrn-
ation on each application for Grand Lodge assistance. When this
is not provided the Committee is not able to properly assess the
needs of the applicant and it must be deferred until our July
meeting. As pointed out last year, it is remarkable how there
always seems to be time to do the job properly the second time.
A perusal of the reports of the last few years would indicate
two things. First, while there have been fewer grants each year
they are obviously of higher average value. This is accounted for
in two ways. To begin with there is an increasing amount of
social welfare available and hence fewer demands for our assist-
ance. Secondly, your Committee is not unmindful of the ravages
TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1977 105
of inflation and naturally compensates for it in the amount of
the grant.
During the year ended April 30th, 113 grants together with
11 interim grants were made in the total amount of $61,105.00. We
estimate that in the year ahead $62,000.00 will be required for
benevolent purposes and request that this sum be made available
for that purpose.
During the last year a number of donations and bequests
were received for the Combined Memorial and Semi-Centennial
Funds. These amounted to $8,461.25 and are gratefully ack-
nowledged.
Donations:
Merrill Lodge No. 344 Centennial $ 100.00
Western District (Regalia) 50.00
Vienna Lodge No. 237 (Late Bro. F. Procunier) . 20.00
Old Hamilton Blood Donors Association 11,31
Connaught Lodge No. 501 (Late Bro. J. T. James) 15.00
Dodsworth & Brown Funeral Directors
(Late Bro. J. G. Truscott) 20.00
216.31
Bequests:
Cathedral No. 643 re T. M. Roberts Estate $ 2,008.33
Estate late Bro. Edgar A. James 1,000.00
Estate Calvin Flanders 5,236.61
$ 8,244.94
Total $ 8,461.25
It was indicated earlier that our work was of a two-fold
nature. The second — and one that has demanded much attention
from your Committee — is the promotion of personal involve-
ment by all Masons in the work of benevolence. We do this in
several ways. Each Fall the Supervisor of Benevolence, together
with members of the Committee, hold meetings at various points
throughout the province. To these meetings our District Chairmen
of Benevolence are invited together with as many Lodge Benevol-
ent Chairmen and Senior Lodge Officers as can attend. These
meetings have been conducted for several years and initially were
used to introduce to our brethren the methods of completing
applications for benevolence. With each passing year an in-
creasing emphasis has been made on the need for encouraging
personal involvement for the welfare of our brethren. We urge
that each Lodge establish a Benevolent Committee and provide a
Benevolent Fund for its use. WTiile more and more Lodges
106 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION
are doing this it must be reported that we have a long way to go
to establish this throughout the jurisdiction. We are very grateful
to those Lodges who have established such Committees and Funds
and urge that the balance of our Lodges copy their example.
Establishing such programmes requires the active assistance
of both the District Deputy Grand Masters and District Chairmen
of Benevolence. We are very grateful to them for the work they
have done on our behalf. Without them it is certain we would
not be making the progress we are.
The Committee has once again asked that those brethren who
have satisfactorily served as District Chairman of Benevolence be
re-appointed to their office. The experience they have is in-
valuable and should not be cast aside needlessly. We ask each
newly elected District Deputy Grand Master to carefully consider
this appointment. The brother occupying this office should be one
who understands benevolence and appreciates the problems some-
times faced by our members.
Our meetings in Hamilton are always enhanced by the
hospitality of the Past Masters' Association. Each year they
provide refreshments for a Friday night coffee break and the
Committee extends our deep appreciation for their kindness.
Your Committee is happy to report that throughout the
province more and more of our lodges are accepting their re-
sponsibility and their obligation to provide assistance to their
members. As evidence of this we would like to draw to your
attention two of many such examples. A member of Elma Lodge
in Monkton, Brother Prescott, died while at work on his farm,
leaving a widow and six children. While ultimately the estate
will provide for his family, there was and is an immediate need.
His Lodge, recognizing this, made an appeal to their members
and raised in excess of $200.00 to be presented to the widow.
They then asked if we would participate and we were of course
pleased to do so through the medium of an interim grant.
In Frontenac District the plight of Mrs. Muriel A. R.
Key was brought to the attention of the District Chairman of
Benevolence. Mrs. Key is the widow of a Mason who, while
resident in the area, was not a member of a Lodge in Canada
but was in good standing in the Craft in Scotland. His passing left
her without resources and our Chairman brought the matter to
the attention of the Lodges in the District. A voluntary offering
from an appeal made to three Lodges resulted in the sum of
$423.00 being presented to Mrs. Key. We on your Committee have
supplemented that until further aid is forthcoming. Through the
efforts of members of the district employment has been obtained
for her When she can return to work.
TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1977 107
These two examples are chosen from many to indicate that
our brethren realise that benevolence is their responsibility and
are quite prepared to discharge it. The need exists all around us
and no one is better equipped than you and your Lodge to look
after these needs. We stand ready at all times to supplement and
assist your efforts and your involvement will provide you with
much personal satisfaction.
The work done by the local Boards of Relief in the larger
centres of our Province cannot be overlooked. In most cases
they administer the grants made to our applicants and are con-
stantly concerned about their welfare. We cannot express our
appreciation too strongly for their help. In a similar manner
benevolent organizations in our sister jurisdictions are always
anxious to offer whatever help they can. The principal organiza-
tion of this type is the Masonic Relief Association of United
States and Canada, of which we are a member. We recommend our
renewal of that membership.
May I close with one comment. Your Committee members
represent every area of the Province and come from many
avenues of life. We deem it a great pleasure and privilege to
participate in the activities of this Committee. The opportunity
and the responsibility is not one which we take lightly and we
are grateful to you for the confidence placed in us. We hope we
have discharged our responsibility to your satisfaction.
Respectfully and fraternally submitted,
COLIN D. MACKENZIE,
Chairman.

108 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION
To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and Members
of the Grand Lodge, A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province
of Ontario.
Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:
On behalf of the Committee on Printing and Supplies, I am
privileged once again, to present this report. The committee is
composed of the following District Deputy Grand Masters. Rt.
Wor. Bros. L. E. Wight, G. A. Lang, H. B. Johnson, D. J.
Blatchford, J. D. Jackson, M. A. Durnford, H. W. Walker and
the undersigned as chairman.
The following is a summary of the receipts and expenditures
made by the Grand Secretary's office on behalf of the Committee.

First Grand Master 2,444
The Work 9,240
TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1977 109
The cost of Printing & Supplies has increased approximately
$25,150.00 over last year's costs. This increase, however, can
be attributed mainly to 2 major purchases, Meeting the Challenge
$25,073.00, and 1 year's supply of Constitutions costing $6,325.00.
This money will be recovered over a period of time as the books
are sold.
I would like to commend the Lodges on behalf of the Com-
mittee for the excellent selling job done on our latest publication.
In one year about 6,500 copies of Meeting the Challenge were
sold. Not only was this a fine selling job, but it was also a fine
tribute to the Masons who contributed so freely of their time
and talents in producing such an excellent publication.
I would like to solicit the assistance of the new D.D.G.M.s
in promoting the sale of our publications during their term of
office — First Grand Master, Beyond the Pillars, The History of
Grand Lodge, and Meeting the Challenge. These books should be
a must for every Mason's library. Your committee recommends
that each Officer and Past Master own a copy of Meeting the
Challenge.
Once again we would like to thank the brethren of Norfolk
Lodge No. 10, Simcoe, for their efforts in promoting the sale of
the First Grand Master at their annual pilgrimage to the grave
of our First Grand Master, Most Wor. Bro. William Mercer
Wilson.
I would like to express the thanks of the Committee and my
own personal thanks to our Grand Secretary, Most Wor. Bro.
J. A. Irvine, for the efficient and capable manner in which he
makes purchases on behalf of the committee. Without his fore-
sight and judgement the expenses of this committee would be far
greater than they are at the present time.
We would also be remiss if we did not express our thanks to
the very efficient staff in the Grand Secretary's office, for their
efforts in displaying and promoting the sale of our publications.
All of which is respectfully and fraternally submitted on
behalf of the Committee.
H. CAMERON STEELE,
Chairman.
REPORT OF THE BLOOD DONORS' COMMITTEE
This report was presented by R.W. Bro. R. J.
Connor, Chairman, and on motion of the Deputy Grand
110 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION
Master, seconded by R.W. Bro. Connor, it was received
and adopted.
To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and Members
of Grand Lodge, A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province
of Ontario.
Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:
For various reasons the Blood Donor Service of the
Canadian Red Cross have had to eliminate some of their clinics,
particularly in the areas outside of Metropolitan Toronto. Yet
despite this, or perhaps because of it, two important results have
happened. First, the final tabulation of results show a slight
increase over last year, and second, "Operation Lifeline" is well
underway.
For those of you who do not know, "Operation Lifeline" is
the project of the Toronto Masonic Districts to provide a mobile
blood clinic for the Red Cross of Toronto. W. Bro. Paul Curry
who conceived and delivered the project, and had it adopted by
the 7 Toronto Districts, is very pleased with its progress.
The interests of the Grand Lodge Blood Donor Committee
have been handled most capably by our Grand Senior Warden,
R.W. Bro. Ron Groshaw who has become a very valued member
of the "Operation Lifeline" organization. We thank him for his
efforts on our behalf and wish aU success to this ambitious
venture.
The District Deputy Grand Masters are to be congratulated
on their selection of District Blood Donor Chairmen, as all have
done an excellent job both on behalf of their district and of this
committee. As in past years, several of these district chairmen
have remained in office and we cannot speak too highly of these
senior service veterans: R.W. Bro. Chas. Heels, Victoria District
has dedicated 16 years in this endeavour; R.W. Bro. Cal.
Krauter, North Huron District — 14 years; R.W. Bro. Wm. J. C.
Noble, Nipissing Centre District — 13 years and W. Bros.
Claude Osborn, Toronto 4 District and Elgin Workman, Grey
District each with 6 years. To these 5 and the 12 others who are
repeating in office, and to the 26 Masons who were initiated this
year, we offer our sincere thanks.
Here are the results of their labours along with last year's
totals for your comparison.

A short mathematical check of these figures will show
the following: The highest number of donations, 533, by
Toronto 1 — W. Bro. John Glabais; the greatest increase in
donations, 317, by Hamilton C — W. Bro. Ray Carrington; and
the greatest percentage increase, 193%, by Sarnia — W. Bro. Mel
Johnston. These brethren have apparently been more than diligent
in their duty to provide these excellent results.
We wish also to pay tribute to these brethren who are
continuing to aid our blood donor cause — Bro. Tom Bailey,
Keystone Lodge No. 412 who has now made 115 blood donations;
W. Bro. Draper Martineau, Algoma Lodge No. 469 and W. Bro.
Robert Cameron, Cobden Lodge No. 459, each with 105
112 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION
donations; Bro. Alvin Baker, Flower City Lodge No. 689 —
75 donations; and a brother from Cataraqui Lodge No. 92,
whose name we don't know but whose family made 14 donat-
ions during this past year. Our heartiest congratulations to
these dedicated donors.
The brethren of London East District honoured their
District Blood Donor Chairman of last year by electing him
as their District Deputy Grand Master, and we hope that R.W.
Bro. Bill Pellow has had a rewarding year in this office.
It is our pleasure to read many of the lodge summonses and
we note that most of them contain a paragraph about blood
donors — when the next clinic is scheduled, a reminder to
participate, and, of course, a plea to report to the lodge when
you have given a donation. To the lodge secretaries and to the
Worshipful Masters, thank you for helping to keep our cause
constantly before your members.
As has been mentioned before, joint clinics seem to produce
good results. The 7 Toronto Districts again held their clinic and
provided entertainment all day long by members from several
of their lodges. Theme — "be entertained while being drained".
Frontenac District joined with the Knights of Columbus for a
very successful one-day clinic, and the two London Districts again
held their one-day blitz clinic. The competition for trophies is
another way to encourage donating by lodge members. Several
districts report that trophies are a part of their program. Sault
Ste. Marie has a city-wide trophy and in the four years of its
history, the Masons have won it twice — congratulations — W.
Bro. Bob Beaton.
W. Bro. Ross Thomson of Ottawa 1 District feels that there is
a communication gap between the brethren and their lodge
Bloor Donor Chairman. Somehow a way must be found to have
ALL of our members report their donations. He feels, as do
many of us, that our brethren are participating in this program
but they are not letting us know of their involvement.
Charity, benevolence, brotherly love — all Masonic virtues
and all virtues which can be exemplified by being a blood donor.
Regular donations ARE essential to have the "gift of life"
available when it is required. Put Brotherhood into Action by
being a blood donor and make YOUR action known by telling
the lodge of your participation.
Respectfully and fraternally submitted.
ROD. J. CONNOR,
Chairman.
TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1977 113
REPORT OF THE LIBRARY COMMITTEE
This report was presented by R.W. Bro. Wallace
McLeod, Chairman, and on motion of the Deputy Grand
Master, seconded by R.W. Bro. McLeod, it was received
and adopted.
To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and Members
of the Grand Lodge, A.F. & A.M., of Canada in the Province
of Ontario.
Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:
The Board of General Purposes, through the Library Com-
mittee, begs leave to report as follows:
Your Committee was composed of M.W. Bro. W. K. Bailey,
R.W. Bros. H. J. Johnson, R. W. Kenney, C. E. Drew, G. H. C.
Hardy, C. E. Frape, C. Torbet, A. D. Grant, J. J. Talman, C. D.
MacKenzie, and V.W. Bro. C. W. Emmett, with the undersigned
as Chairman.
"There are at the present writing more than 100,000 men in
the [Province of Ontario] holding membership in Masonic lodges.
If there are seventy-five of this number who have made sufficient
study of the Institution to which they belong to have awakened
in themselves any glow of interest in its symbolism, its philosophy,
or even its history, the fact is certainly not shown in the articles
published in the Masonic press of this [province] or in the
speeches delivered before the general public or within the tiled
lodges. It is a lamentable fact that the general mass of our mem-
bership [is] as densely ignorant of everything connected with
Masonry, aside from the mere wording of the ritual, as the peas-
antry of Spain and Mexico of the true history, biography and
political philosophy of the Church of Rome."
These harsh words are not mine. They are taken, with four
slight changes, from a splendid book written more than fifty
years ago, more than five hundred miles away (Blackmer, The
Lodge and the Craft). Are they inappropriate to us here today?
While you ponder them, let me summarize the Library's activities
for the twelve months just ended.
Our Librarian, Bro. WilUam J. McKee, of Runnymede Lodge,
No. 619, Toronto, this year completed ten years of service. He
has worked with three Chairmen, and all alike have testified to
his tact, his kindness, his forbearance, his tenacity, and his co-
operation. He continues to exhibit these virtues. He has been
called on to bear many burdens, perhaps none greater than his
present Chairman. But Bro. McKee responds willingly and
114 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION
cheerfully to every reasonable request, and even to occasional
unreasonable ones.
For the ninth year V.W. Bros. Charles S. Gulston and John
F. Petherick have worked in the Reading Room Wednesdays and
Fridays at noon-hour. We are, as always, greatly in their debt.
Once again, with the aid of volunteer assistants, we have kept
the Library open evenings. Several of those who helped last year
could not continue, but we were able to enlist substitutes. Let us
pay public tribute to these devoted Masons by listing their names:
J. Gordon Baker (Mizpah, No. 572); Clifford J. Baxter (Dentonia,
No. 651); Charles J. Bishop (Coronation, No. 677); George
Blackie (Simcoe, No. 644); Brian E. Bond(Dentonia, No. 651);
William S. Carter (Dentonia, No. 651); Ivan Collymore (Robert-
son, No. 292); Clifford W. Gazley (Universe, No. 705); M. W.
Hetherington (Acacia, No. 430); N. Coulson Malloy (Vaughan,
No. 54), Robert Mcllroy (Riverdale, No. 494); Kenneth Mac-
Lachlan (Transportation, No. 583); Brian McWhirter (Doric, No.
316); David Nicholls (Canada, No. 532); Peter Taylor (Sham-
rock No. 533); Paul Thomas (Mount Dennis, No. 599); Adriaan
van't Hof (Astra, No. 682); Cal Waters (Maple Leaf, No. 600);
Carroll E. Waldron (Saint Andrew's, No. 16). The group includes
a good cross-section of Master Masons, lodge officers, Worshipful
Masters, Past Masters, and past Grand Lodge Officers. Once again
Bro. Gazley has been most helpful in serving as marshal. Working
in the Library is a matchless opportunity, and we appeal for more
volunteers. Many brethren have commented on the convenience of
the new extended hours; and your Committee recommends that
they be continued next year.
Between May 15, 1976 and May 14, 1977, 266 visitors signed
the register. During the same period 240 books were loaned to
local patrons, and 180 were mailed to out-of-town users. In all,
420 books were borrowed, compared with only 402 last year;
the total number of borrowers was 133 — an increase of 28%
over last year.
During the year the Library's holdings were increased by
seventy-eight books. Thirty-three were donated; among our
benefactors we may signal Bro. Frank T. Beimett, the Grand Lodge
of California, the Grand Lodge of Ohio, the Grand Lodge of
South Dakota, Independent Royal Arch Lodge, No. 2, in New
York, and the Supreme Council, A. and A.S.R., Southern Juris-
diction. By bequest from R.W. Bro. Willard M. Gordon, a former
Chairman of this Committee (1961-1967), we received two copies
of Anderson's Constitutions, in the first edition of 1723, and in
Noorthouck's revision of 1784. They will take their proud place
in our small collection of rare treasures. The former is the most
important and influential book on Masonry ever printed; every
Book of Constitution published since then has been modelled on
it. Of course the original edition is too precious to leave the
TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1977 115
premises; but if you are interested, we have several facsimile copies
which may be borrowed.
In recent years the Library has distributed a certain amount
of audio-visual material. It has been well received, and the time
seemed ripe to increase our efforts in this area. We have therefore
established an Audio-Visual Sub-Committee, under the Chairman-
ship of V.W. Bro. Charles W. Emmett. His first project is to
collect slides on "Masonry at Work in Ontario;" to this end, he
has written to every District Deputy Grand Master in the juris-
diction. We look forward with impatience to the completion of
the venture.
For some time your Library staff has been hampered in its
efforts to provide adequate service by the fact that the catalogue
was woefully out-of-date. This year we have begun in earnest
to reclassify the collection. This will not be done quickly, but it will
make the Library even more useful when it is completed. We have
derived guidance, comfort, and support from two booklets, A. R.
Hewitt's An Elementary Guide for Masonic Librarians (published
under the authority of the United Grand Lodge of England,
1965), and William L. Boyden's Classification of the Literature of
Masonry and Related Societies (published by the Supreme Council,
A. and A.S.R., S.J., 1946).
In 1885, M.W. Bro. Hugh Murray remarked, "Our Order
opens a wide field for investigation, and offers scope for the
employment of talents of the most intelligent and cultivated
mind. Its history . . . furnishes a theme, sufficient in itself, to
fully employ the brethren in its research ... Its philosophy . . .
supplies innumerable questions, which can only be answered by
those who have made Masonry a study." The sentiments still
command our applause. We desperately need a core of Masons
who are concerned to learn of our rich Heritage, and tell of it to
others. Inevitably your Library will play a vital role as a resource
centre in any such process of education.
We are often asked to name some good books which may
safely be put in the hands of a new Mason. The information is
available elsewhere, but is can hardly be repeated too often. One
might begin with the four booklets, on the Petitioner, the Entered
Apprentice Mason, the Fellowcraft, and the Master Mason, pub-
lished by our Grand Lodge in 1975. Then one could add our
Beyond the Pillars; every brother should have his own copy of
these publications, which (together with the History of Grand
Lodge, First Grand Master, and Meeting the Challenge) may be
ordered from the Grand Secretary, Box 217, Hamilton LBN 3C9.
There is Rollin C. Blackmer, The Lodge and the Craft; Carl H.
Claudy, Introduction to Freemasonry, or his Old Tiler Talks, or
his Foreign Countries; H. L. Haywood, The Newly-Made Mason,
or his More about Masonry; Joseph Fort Newton, The Builders,
116 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION
or his The Men's House; Allen E. Roberts, The Craft and Its
Symbols or Oliver Day Street, Symbolism of the Three Degrees.
If you want to read some fine Masonic fiction, turn to
Rudyard Kipling's stories Kim, or "The Man Who would be King"
(from Wee Willie Winkle), or "The Rout of the White Hussars"
(from Plain Tales from the Hills), or "In the Interests of the
Brethren" (from Debits and Credits).
Are you planning to attend the Canadian Opera Company's
production of Mozart's The Magic Flute this autumn? Prepare
yourself by looking at our vocal score (with piano accompani-
ment), or at Jacques Chailley, The Magic Flute: Masonic Opera.
Do you care who have been Masons? We now have the four
volumes of William R. Denslow's 10,000 Famous Freemasons, as
well as Haywood's Famous Masons and Masonic Presidents, and
R. E. Heaton's Masonic Membership of the Founding Fathers.
Are you inquisitive about Masonry? Try A. R. Chambers,
Questions and Answers; H. F. Inman, Masonic Problems and
Queries; W. O. Peterson, Masonic Quiz Book; Ask me Another,
Brother; H. V. B. Voorhis, Facts for Freemasons; or the newest
and greatest of them all, Harry Carr, The Freemason at Work.
Was your interest kindled in April when you heard W. Bro.
Harry Carr talk about the development of our ritual? We have
most of his source material: a reprint of The Regius Poem of 1390;
Knoop-Jones-Hamer, Early Masonic Catechisms (a marvellous
book); Carr, Early French Exposures; the expose, printed in 1760,
known as The Three Distinct Knocks at the Door of Most Ancient
Freemasonry, and a reprint of William Preston's Illustrations of
Masonry (1775). We also have Bro. Cart's talk, on four cassettes,
each twenty-five minutes long.
Last year, for the convenience of those who wanted to buy
books for themselves, we included a few addresses. Two have been
changed: Masonic Book Sales is now Box 250, Pefferlaw, Ontario
LOE INO; and the Masonic Book Club is now to be contacted in
care of Louis L. Williams, 426 Unity Building, Bloomington,
Illinois 61701. Another source of good books is the Educational
Bureau, General Grand Chapter, Royal Arch Masons, Box 529,
Trenton, Missouri 64683. It is never amiss to put in a good word
for the Quatuor Coronati Correspondence Circle, which deserves
the support of every serious Mason. The local secretaries are
Professor J. S. Basarke, 59 Sandbourne Crescent, Willov/dale
M2J 3A5 (for Toronto); Brian D. Stapley, 5754 Yonge Street.
Apartment 410, Willowdale M2M 3T6 (for Ontario East); Oliver
T. Flint, 22 Extra Street, Guelph NIH 1Y9 (for Ontario South and
West); and John E. Taylor, Box 39, Hilton Beach POR IGO (for
Ontario North).
TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1977 117
The Gentleman's Magazine for 1753 printed a series of
"Questyons and Answeres, concerning the Mystery of Magonrye,"
with language cloaked in a false semblance of antiquity. Here is
one quotation, restored to modem English. "Question. Do all
Masons know more than other men? Answer. Not so. They only
have right and occasion more than other men to know; but many
do fail in capacity, and many more do want industry, that is
necessary for the gaining all knowledge." Two hundred and twenty
years later, the need for Masonic knowledge is still with us. The
right to know is yours. Your Library can provide the occasion.
Heaven knows, we're not in competition with anyone else. If you
have access to Masonic books from other sources, we are content.
We simply want you to know that the Library is there, and that it
exists for you, for the Masons of Ontario — to meet your needs,
to fill your requests, to provide you with reading material. If you
want help, tell us. If our service is inadequate, tell us. If you know
of a book we ought to have, tell us.
Your Grand Lodge spends nearly five thousand dollars a
year on the library, sixty per cent of that amount being set aside
for rental. This is a lot of money, particularly when measured
against the small number of our readers. Can we assume that
the thousands upon thousands of Masons who ignore us do so by
conscious choice, because they have no need of us? Would that we
could! But how often do I hear a young Mason say, "Library?
Masonic Library? What Library?" We cannot accomplish a thinft
if nobody knows we're there. My Brethren, let me close with
just one request. Will you see to it that every member of your
lodge is at least aware that there is a Masonic Library? Otherwise
our efforts are vain, our expenditures are wasted, our very
existence is pointless.
AH of which is respectfully and fraternally submitted on
behalf of the Committee.
WALLACE McLEOD,
Chairman.
REPORT ON THE REVISION
OF THE CONSTITUTION
This report was presented by M.W. Bro. W. K.
Bailey, Chairman, and on motion of the Deputy Grand
Master, seconded by M.W. Bro. Bailey, it was received
and adopted.
To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and Members
of the Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province
of Ontario.
118 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION
Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:
On behalf of the special Committee appointed by the Grand
Master in July, 1976, I have the honour to present the report on
the reorganization and revision of the Constitution of Grand
Lodge.
Since 1972 -when the Grand Master requested R. Wor. Bro.
H. Allan Leal to convene a committee to study a reorganization
and revision with possible incorporation of the Rulings of Grand
Masters into the Constitution proper, there have been two progress
reports to Grand Lodge. The task has proven to be much more
complex than was at first anticipated.
Apart from one major revision undertaken in 1887, some
alterations to about thirty rules and regulations in 1926 and de-
tailed specifications for lodge and Grand Lodge regalia and in-
signia in 1947, amendments to the constitution have been rather
minor in nature in the one hundred and twenty-two years of
Grand Lodge.
A framework of reorganization was developed by R. Wor.
Bro. Leal and his committee composed of M. Wor. Bros. W. K.
Bailey, M. C. Hooper and H. L. Martyn and R. Wor. Bro. F. M.
Cass. It was noted that of the over three hundred Rulings of
Grand Masters listed on pages 135 to 169 of the 1972 Book of
Constitution there were 127 repeats. The Committee recommended
that the remainder be classified into three groups:
(a) rulings to be deleted in that they were made with
specific factual situations in mind and for the purpose
of amplification of the by-laws and regulations of Grand
Lodge;
(b) rulings to be incorporated into the text without signifi-
cant change; and
(c) rulings to appear in amended form.
Grand Lodge approved the recommendations in July 1973 and
also the recommendation of the Grand Master that twenty-four
rulings be rescinded forthwith.
With the retirement of R. Wor. Bro. Leal from the Board of
General Purposes in July 1976, the committee was reconstituted
by the Grand Master, M. Wor. Bro. E. W. Nancekivell, with the
following brethren as members, namely R. Wor. Bro. H. A.
Leal, V. Wor. Bro. J. V. Lawer and Wor. Bros. G. T. Rogers and
A. F. Rodger with myself as Chairman. During the past 10
months our committee has held 20 meetings. A draft of a reorgan-
ized and revised Constitution has been prepared for study and
comment.
TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1977 119
Our Committee recommends that Grand Lodge approve the
printing of sufficient copies to supply one copy to each lodge and
one to each member of the Board of General Purposes. The
copies would be mailed early in September. The lodges and
members would be requested to study the draft and be invited
to submit suggestions for alterations or amendments thereto on
or before January 1, 1978.
Our Committee would then be obligated to take under con-
sideration all submissions and to complete any unfinished re-
organization and revision. On or before April 1, 1978 a notice
of motion would be mailed or delivered to the Grand Secretary,
Such notice of motion would propose that the present Constitution
be rescinded and that the proposed one be adopted. It would be
expected that Grand Lodge would set aside at least one entire
day of the 1978 annual meeting to discuss the Constitution sec-
tion by section.
It will be noted that the proposed draft submitted for your
consideration does not contain mention of the following topics:
(a) The Charges of a Freemason: pages 2 to 11 — no
changes contemplated.
(b) Summary of Ancient Charges: pages 11 to 13 — no
changes contemplated.
(c) Masonic Clothing: pages 82 to 106 — very few, if any
changes contemplated other than a web belt to replace
the rope girdle on all aprons and measurement specifi-
cation to be metric.
(d) Rules respecting Trials: pages 107 to 122 — awaiting
review by the Committee on Grievances and Appeals.
(e) Rules respecting Grants for Benevolence: pages 122 to
126 — awaiting review by the Committee on Benevo-
lence.
(f) Prayers: pages 127 to 128 — deletion proposed since they
are in the Work.
(g) Charges to E. A., F. C. and M. M. candidates: pages
128 to 133 — propose that since each is an essential part
of the degree that they be deleted and printed in the
Work which will likely be up for printing in 1978 or
1979,
(h) Forms: pages 169 to 174 — few, if any changes, con-
templated.
120 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION
Any changes in the import and content of the above-mentioned
topics will appear in the notice of motion.
The recommended procedure for study, comment and de-
cision on the Constitution will of necessity mean considerable
expense for printing and distribution of the two drafts. Our
Committee, however, is of the opinion that the anticipated in-
terest, participation and contribution by many brethren will more
than justify any additional costs to Grand Lodge.
Respectfully submitted,
J. V. LAWER

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON
THE CONDITION OF MASONRY
This report was presented by V.W. Bro. Norman E.
Byrne, Chairman, and on motion of the Deputy Grand
Master, seconded by V.W. Bro. Byrne, it was received
and adopted.
To the Most Worshipful, the Grand Master, Officers and Members
of the Grand Lodge, A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province
of Ontario.
Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:
On behalf of the Committee on the Condition of Masonry
it is a distinct privilege for me, as its chairman, to present the
Report on the Condition of Masonry to this 122nd Annual Con-
vocation of the Grand Lodge of Canada in the Province of
Ontario.
The members of this committee acknowledge with gratitude
to the Grand East, the distinct privilege which is ours, to have
been appointed to this committee and thereby given the oppor-
tunity to report to this distinguished Grand Lodge on the
general condition of Masonry therein as found throughout this
Grand Jurisdiction by those zealous and dedicated Masons, the
Past District Deputy Grand Masters, who have represented our
beloved Grand Master in every part of Ontario.
A reading of the several reports discloses without exception
that each and every District Deputy Grand Master has under-
TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1977 121
gone a year of hard and satisfying work, enjoyed a myriad of
experiences in Masonry, never to be forgotten, and offers a
humble vote of thanks to those, who by the exercise of their
Masonic franchise, caused each of them to be elected to their
high and important offices, coupled with sincere gratitude to the
Most Worshipful, the Grand Master for confirming their respective
elections.
On a personal note I deem my appointment as chairman of
the committee a high honour and a challenge, as I follow in the
immediate footsteps of R.W. Bro. H. Allan Leal, a man of great
physical stature and of even greater capacity for dedicated effort
and an erudite ability of summarizing in most readable fashion
the thousands of details contained in the various reports of each
District Deputy Grand Master. These reports, in addition to con-
taining the factual summary of lodge facilities, membership,
advancement in knowledge through various forms of Masonic
Education, comments on the ability of Worshipful Masters and
junior officers to press ever forward by dedicated and tireless
efforts, demonstrative summaries of the real existence of Masonic
charity by the giving of blood, of money, but most importantly,
by the giving of self, contain countless resumes of the results of
innovative ideas, by which Masonic rulers of the Craft have
sparked the interest and a new awareness of the great benefits to
be derived from Masonic association into those members of our
Fraternity who, through lack of attendance and participation in
lodge meetings and affairs, have missed much of the many great
and wonderful things life has to offer mankind in this rapidly
changing world.
The report of each District Deputy recalls with pride and full
District support and appreciation, the respective occasions, in fact
the highlight of the year, when each District was able to welcome
warmly into their midst, our beloved Grand Master M.W. Bro.
Dr. Eric W. Nancekivell, as he dedicated a new Temple, con-
stituted and consecrated a new lodge, addressed the brethren on
the occasion of a special anniversary or happening, or simply
joined the brethren in lodge for some moments of fraternal
fellowship. Everywhere he travels, and he seems to travel every-
where, he has been a living inspiration to his Masonic brethren
as accompanied by his distinguished colleagues in Grand Lodge,
he brings to each brother a real feeling of warmth and affection,
a witty story, a friendly handshake and a lasting sense of frater-
nity. May the Great Architect of the universe spare him and
them for many years, that their service to Freemasonry may
become a by-word. There are many brethren who have taken
the time and interest to reflect on man's destiny in this year
1977, to acknowledge that man's modern lifestyle will respond
to new concepts and novel ideas and yet have discovered that in
a rapidly changing world, much pleasure, satisfaction and com-
forting stability is to be gained by a re-dedication to the time
honoured principles and ancient landmarks that each of us, as
122 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION
Masons, have, by our own individual voluntary obligation, sworn
to maintain and uphold.
Your committee extends its sincere thanks to the tremendous
efforts the respective chairmen of Masonic Education Committees
throughout the province have put forward this year under the
very capable guidance of R.W. Bro. N. R. Richards, Chairman of
the Committee of Masonic Education of Grand Lodge. It is safe
to say on perusing the reports of the several District Deputy
Grand Masters that all of us have had the opportunity to im-
prove in Masonic Knowledge and wisdom at very regular intervals
in every district. Masonic education sometimes in elaborate
form and often in short and simple presentation, has now become
an important part of almost every lodge meeting.
Several of the Districts conducted workshops to extend in-
dividual knowledge, explain traditional portions of the ritual,
delve into how modern methods of communication can create a
better understanding of our history, how good business and fin-
ancial planning can remove doubt and uncertaintv in a lodge's
ability to meet ever increasing costs, and how each of us can
demonstrate to our friends, our neighbours, and our business
associates, why Masonry is not just a moral association of men,
but a real way of life. At the risk of picking out one such pro-
gram over many others, which reaped real benefits, your com-
mittee extends its congratulations to Toronto District 1 for a
repeat of a Masonic workshop, instituted last \ear but with a new
theme to entice the many, who were in attendance to participate
again this year.
Your committee is pleased to report that the brethren who
met in the East Toronto Masonic Temple, were, by stint of hard
work, personal sacrifice and an energetic organization, able to
overcome the disastrous effects of a fire that damaged their
Temple in February, 1977.
Your committee is pleased to go on record in extending
fraternal congratulations to three new lodges which were consti-
tuted and consecrated in the past year: in Toronto District 1 —
Mount Moriah Lodge Number 727; in Waterloo District —
Cambridge Lodge Number 728; in Toronto District 3 — Friendship
Lodge Number 729. A new research lodge is presently being
formed in Waterloo District hailing by the name Heritage Lodge.
It is encouraging to note that many of our lodges are exam-
ining their dues and membership fees structure in the light of
today's rapidly escalating costs. Caution must be observed in not
taking the easy road, leaving dues in their present amount, just
because the lodge has today funds to meet current expenses. Some
lodges have taken a more realistic view by looking down the road
a few years, when greatly increased taxes, which may result from
the new assessment program in Ontario, may eat up presently
TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1977 123
adequate resources and create for the brethren of 1980 a serious
financial problem. Action today may yet well forestall a calamity
in just a few short years. Much has been said by District Deputy
Grand Masters and by those Grand Lodge officers charged with
Grand Lodge financial planning that we, as Masons, may well be
"selling ourselves too short" in the long run. How much do we,
as individuals, spend each year for rest and relaxation, to support
our church, to provide extra luxuries and convenience, to main-
tain membership in golf, curling, tennis, squash and sailing clubs,
to indulge in personal extravagances, for travel? Each facet of
life has a price or a cost. Some may suggest that we, as Masons,
have not put as much importance on maintaining active, finan-
cially sound and healthy lodges as well we might. A word to the
wise should be sufficient. Each of us is called on to personally
examine his own personal, financial priorities and take such steps
as will ensure for future generations a happy and precious
heritage — a Masonic lodge that stands out in our community for
all to see and admire.
Your committee is pleased to see that Masonry in Victoria
District has taken a turn for the better as a result of the brethren
being able to meet in the new accommodation afforded in the
new Temple at Coboconk. Our congratulations to those who by
personal sacrifice and organized effort brought this Masonic
dream into reality.
When each of us entered the Masonic portals of our mother
lodge for the first time we were actively put to the true test of
Masonic charity and realized personally, many for the first time,
the plight of those, who, through no fault of their own, had not
been blessed with too large a measure of this world's goods.
Charity is one of our landmarks and your committee is indeed
pleased to see a continuance and an expansion of the custom of
making a memorial donation to the Masonic Foundation of
Ontario on the death of a lodge brother, where floral tributes
have been the custom in the past. What an excellent method of
enshrining the memory of a departed brother, by investing in
the future of some young person whose contribution to life as a
result of being able to continue in studies will reap dividends
that will benefit humanity for years to come.
Each of us should personally make our goal each year a
contribution to our Masonic Foundation, a continuing re-affirma-
tion, even though it be small, of our obligation to love our
brother.
At this time of year, when we, as Canadians, celebrate our
national birthday, our attention is focused to the reports of the
District Deputies, to those lodges who have been favourably
blessed with the realization of one hundred years of service to
mankind and to the Great Architect of the Universe. Your com-
mittee, on behalf of us all, extends congratulations to the lodges
124 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION
who this past year have venerated tradition, emblazoned their
regalia with a glint of gold and celebrate their first one hundred
years.
The acknowledgement of wisdom and the elegance of
antiquity is passed on to St. John's Lodge No. 17 and Moira
Lodge No. 1 1 on attaining one hundred and seventy-five years of
service to Masons in Ontario — congratulations.
The Library Committee of Grand Lodge is composed of
dedicated Masons who have taken upon themselves the arduous
task of disseminating Masonic information by making known to
all who would listen the many great treasures of learning, we
as Masons have so easily available in our Masonic Library in
Toronto. Books, audio visual aids and presentations, slides, and
taped addresses are yours for the asking and the District Deputies
repeatedly report that while many lodges have large or small
libraries, many of our brethren are using this most interesting
facility and thereby enlightening themselves and in most cases,
extending that enlightenment on to others.
Where lodge libraries are very small or non-existent, some
of our District Deputy Grand Masters have presented to each
lodge on the occasion of their official inspection, a current vol-
ume of one of our new and appealing Grand Lodge publications
as an incentive to the starting of a Masonic Library in each
Masonic lodge.
The brethren of Toronto Districts have done a great service
to their community by establishing "operation life line", a cam-
paign to purchase and equip a mobile blood donors' unit in the
Metropolitan Toronto area to assist the general public in the
giving of blood — the gift of life. Your committee extends thanks
to those energetic Masons who would rather give than receive.
The reports of the District Deputy Grand Masters are full
of comments and observations of new and useful ideas and pro-
grams to stimulate and maintain membership, reduce dues arrears
to an absolute minimum, assist lodge secretaries in the exercise
of their continuing responsibilities and increase lodge funds for
special purposes and objects. Your committee deems it advantage-
ous to report on some of the more imaginative ones. The recording,
storage and safekeeping of lodge minutes and records sometimes
poses a problem when lodge records go back for many years.
One lodge has found the microfilming of these minutes and
records an economical yet safe and secure method of preserva-
tion. The films are readily available when needed for historical
purposes, yet small in physical size for convenient storage.
In these days of new concepts and laws in the recording of
the ownership of real property, your committee recommends that
lodges consider favourably the ownership of Masonic Temples,
TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1977 125
often in the past, recorded in the names of individual trustees,
be held in non-share capital corporations incorporated under
Ontario law, operated widiout profit, by a board of directors,
capable of the change in personnel made necessary by the frail-
ties of human existence. The office of the Grand Secretary is
ever willing and able to render much assistance in the form and
set up of these Masonic holding corporations and has assisted
many new Temple corporations to get their start in ventures of
this nature. Your committee recommends that early contact
should be made with the Grand Secretary before proceeding
legally in this area.
One lodge has reduced its dues arrears to zero by the aid of
a special "dues envelope" forwarded with the lodge summons to
those Brethren who have not paid their current membership fees,
serving as a specific reminder to those whose memory need be
jogged and making it easy for a member to transmit his payment
in a timely fashion.
Some Masters have used, with great success, simple little
"one liners", items of Masonic education, which further our
knowledge and understanding of our Craft, take little time to
digest, and fill a gap in the lodge program arising out of emer-
gency or unforeseen circumstances. Some careful planning and
research by those whose responsibility is Masonic education,
can make a meeting run smoother and enlighten the Brethren at
the same time.
For years, members whose interest has waned for one reason
or another, has caused us all concern and anxiety. Several of the
reports point out the success "fellowship visitation" programs
have reaped. Members on emergent meeting nights visit sick and
older members and those who have not been out to lodge for a
while, thereby giving these Brethren a real reason for knowing
that their lodge Brethren care and are concerned, and at the
same time, have afforded all the opportunity to exchange news
of lodge affairs, enquire as to the health and the member's physi-
cal ability to get out to lodge. A personal visit to a member in
his home is only an extension of lodge visitation and is a real
way of keeping the spirit of Masonry alive and well, not only in
the hearts of those who receive the visit, but those who have the
opportunity of making it. Your committee also recommends that
before a member is suspended for non-payment of dues, a per-
sonal visit is almost a necessity to enlighten the lodge of any
particular problem that may be present which may have caused
the member to fall into arrears. It also serves well the preceding
purposes of renewing old friendships and encouraging a brother
to attend lodge more regularly, if possible.
We note, with interest, how often in all parts of Ontario the
constant accumulation of household goods or ornaments has pro-
moted the new concept of "garage sales". A timely device for ex-
126 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION
changing, what to one person is now an object which must be
stored, dusted off and moved from time to time, into a unique
purchase of a needed item, often hard to find, which is just the
thing to trim that oft-neglected hedge, parts to repair an other-
wise good appHance, or a knick-knack that will look so well in
that '"special" shelf or in that awkward corner of the room. Here
is an obvious way to "clean house" for lodge members and at the
same time, a painless method of raising funds for that special
lodge project and fun for all to boot.
Your committee is encouraged by some reports that our
Fraternity is meeting with more acceptance by the young men in
our society. Though Masonry competes for the attention of young
men with sports and athletic programs, night-time extension
courses and television and other more material distractions, let
us continue our efforts to attract young men, for it is this new
generation that abounds with energy and which will provide us
with the leaders of tomorrow.
One must compare the zest and exuberance of youth with
the wisdom and knowledge of age. Your committee acknowledges
the debt we, as Masons, owe to so many of our brethren who
have been recognized by receiving Grand Lodge Jewels as out-
ward tokens of their many years of service to the Craft. Each
District Deputy has expressed what great pleasure they take in
the presentation of these long service jewels to those of our
Brethren who have earned the right to wear them.
Our sympathy goes out to the Brethren in St. Thomas District
as they mourn the passing of V.W. Bro. Dr. George Kennedy
who, until his death, at the grand age of 102 years, rendered con-
tinuous service to the Brethren in his District.
Your committee would be remiss in its duty if it did not
record, with sincere appreciation, the fine efforts of all the District
Deputy Grand Masters, the District Secretaries, and the District
Chaplains. Our gratitude is also recorded to the respective chair-
men of District Committees on Masonic Education. Benevolence
and Blood Donors. These Brethren are the mainstay of our
Fraternity, whose energetic and dedicated effort is an inspiration
to us all and who, by their leadership and the results achieved,
have made our Grand Lodge the envy of all who behold. May
the most high continue to prosper their united endeavours.
Your committee, in closing this report of the many happenings
in this, our fair Province of Ontario, and in our beloved Grand
Lodge in the Masonic year now closing, has great pleasure in
stating unequivocally that when examined in fine detail, one can
sometimes see that problems and challenges have caused many
concern and have, at times, stretched the duties of leadership to
"bow string tightness" yet in the overall picture, the dedication
TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1977 127
and self-sacrifice of countless thousands of Masons, working to-
gether in a spirit of harmony, peace and goodwill, has over-
come all difficulties and dangers and has so honed and polished
the condition of Masonry in this Grand Jurisdiction so that it
shines forth with a brilliance that will clearly light our way with
certainty into the dawn of another Masonic year.
May I, on behalf of the committee, extend my sincere
thanks and appreciation to M.W. Bro. Jack Irvine, Grand Secre-
tary, and his staff for the many courtesies extended to your
committee during the year and particularly during the compila-
tion of this report.
All of which is respectfully and fraternally submitted on
behalf of the committee.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE
GRAND MASTER'S ADDRESS
This report was presented by M.W. Bro. G. E.
Turner, seconded by M.W. Bro. W. L. Wright; it was
received and adopted.
To the Officers and Members of the Grand Lodge, A.F. & A.M.
of Canada in the Province of Ontario.
Brethren:
Your Committee extends smcere congratulations to our
Grand Master on the zeal and dedication which he has exhibited
in discharging the duties of his office during the past year. The
Grand Master or his representative has visited many of the Grand
Jurisdictions and has devoted a great deal of time and energy
in cementing fraternal relations between our Grand Lodge and
those Grand Lodges with which we are in amity.
Your Committee congratulates our Grand Master on the
many well-earned and well-deserved honours which he has re-
ceived and particularly on filling the Chairmanship of the
Conference of Grand Masters of North America. It was a signal
honour and one which our Grand Master richly deserved.
We recognize and wholeheartedly support the warm welcome
extended by our Grand Master to our guests from other Grand
Lodges and concordant bodies.
Your Committee shares with the Grand Master the sadness
on the deaths of so many of our brethren and particularly R.W.
Bro. Kipp and V.W. Bro. Kennedy. These brethren have served
Masonry well and will be long remembered in their Lodges and
Districts.
Your Committee approves the granting of Past Rank to those
brethren listed in his address. Your Committee also approves all
appointments made by your Grand Master. We particularly wish
to join with the Grand Master in extending congratulations to
those veteran Masons who have served our fraternity for 50 years
or more and also those who have been a Past Master for 60 years.
Your Committee also joins with the Grand Master in congratulating
the recipients of the William Mercer Wilson Medal, may they
wear it long and proudly.
Your Committee approves the donations authorized by your
Grand Master, especially commending him on the donation to
the striken brethren in Cobalt, Ontario, which was ravaged by
a severe fire.
TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1977 131
Your Committee agrees whole-heartedly with the recom-
mendation of the Grand Master that R.W. Bro. Eric C. Horwood
be appointed an Honorary member of the Grand Lodge Board
of General Purposes. We agree that Grand Lodge is indeed for-
tunate to have men of the calibre of Bro. Horwood on our Board.
Your Grand Master concludes with mention of the contribu-
tions which certain colleagues have made during his term of office.
He also writes very fully and coherently on the future of Masonry
and this particular section should be read over and over again.
Your Committee recommends that Grand Lodge confirm all
that the Grand Master has reported in his address and your
Committee joins with all the brethren in thanking him for his
stellar leadership during the past two years and wishing him long
life and good health.
GEORGE E. TURNER,
Chairman.
REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON
GRIEVANCES AND APPEALS
This report was presented by R.W. Bro. P. S. Mac-
Kenzie, Chairman; on motion of the Deputy Grand
Master, seconded by R.W. Bro. MacKenzie, it was re-
ceived and adopted.
To the Most Worshipful, the Grand Master, Officers and Members
of the Grand Lodge, A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province
of Ontario.
Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:
Your Committee on Grievances and Appeals presents its
report in the following parts:
1. ESPANOLA LODGE No. 527, vs. BRO. GERALD
STANLEY SHEA.
132 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION
A charge of unmasonic conduct was laid in the Lodge against
Bro. Gerald Stanley Shea under Rule 1(P) alleging that the
accused had been guilty of a public crime involving moral turpi-
tude in that he had been charged initially with murder, con-
victed at the Town of Whitby on the 18th of April, 1975 of the
included offense of manslaughter, and sentenced on the 26th day
of May, 1975 to twelve years in a penitentiary. The offense with
which Bro. Shea was charged was committed on or about the 14th
day of July. 1973. His first Court appearance seems to have been
on April 18, 1974, when a plea of Not Guilty was entered by the
accused. On April 26, 1974, a mistrial was declared and the
accused was remanded to May 27, 1974 for trial. On that date, the
matter was further remanded for trial at the next Assizes of the
Court at Whitby. On October 8, 1974, the case was further ad-
journed, at the request of the Crown, by reason of the unavail-
ability of a vital witness. Trial commenced on January 13, 1975,
the accused entering a plea of Not Guilty. On January 20, 1975,
after trial, the jury returned to report they could not agree and the
case was then traversed to the next assize at Whitby. On April 14,
1975, the accused again entered a plea of Not Guilty and on
April 17, 1975, he was found fit to stand trial by jury. As indi-
cated above, on April 18, 1975, a jury returned a verdict of
Not Guilty to murder but guilty of manslaughter.
This rather extensive explanation of the events is given to
account for the delay in processing this complaint by Espanola
Lodge. Quite properly, they could not proceed with a hearing until
a trial had taken place and a verdict delivered in the Criminal
Court. Great difficulty was then encountered by the Lodge's
Secretary in attempting to discover where Bro. Shea was incar-
cerated. However, in June of 1976, Bro. Shea was served by
registered mail at his last known place of residence in the city of
Toronto pursuant to Rule 5, this residence being out of the juris-
diction of Espanola Lodge. A Masonic Trial was held on
September 8, 1976, at an emergent meeting of the Lodge. Bro.
Shea was not present and a well skilled brother was appointed to
represent him. There was little however that this brother could
urge on Bro. Shea's behalf as the evidence at trial consisted of a
Certificate of Conviction issued out of the Supreme Court of
Ontario office for the Judicial District of Durham. Espanola
Lodge found Bro. Shea guilty of the charge as laid and voted for
indefinite suspension and recommended to Grand Lodge that he
be expelled.
Your Committee have been in communication with the offi-
cers of Espanola Lodge since 1975 and are well aware of the
difficulties they have experienced in attempting to properly pro-
cess this charge. While there have been some deviations from
strict compliance with our rules of procedure, in view of all the
circumstances and the delay, frustration and difficulties experi-
enced by the Lodge, your Committee is of the view that any
technical objections to the regularity of the proceedings should be
TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1977 133
waived, and the action of the Lodge approved. It is therefore
recommended that Bro. Gerald Stanley Shea be notified to attend
the next Annual Communication of Grand Lodge to show cause
why he should not be expelled and in the meantime, the sentence
of indefinite suspension should be continued.
This is the only case for presentation to Grand Lodge at this
Communication. However, during the course of the year, your
Committee has been consulted with regard to many other matters
of concern to our Constituent Lodges and to their Officers. Our
most pressing problem at the moment is the obvious reluctance
of Lodges to proceed with charges involving offences under
Rule 1(S)—
"Adultery and all lascivious association, whether with the
relative of a Mason or with a stranger."
This problem has been adverted to on many occasions in our
reports to Grand Lodge. Regretfully, our suggestions do not seem
to have been widely acceptable. The present permissiveness of
society generally seems to engender a reticence in our members to
act, even in the most blatant cases of breach of this fundamental
precept of our Order. The incidence of members of Lodges living
in a flagrant common law relationship is widespread. Yet, their
brethren ofttimes refuse to take any action, even in the face of
incontrovertible proof of their continued violation of their
Masonic Obligations. The situation has become so serious that
in two instances your Committee has regretfully been forced to
recommend to the Grand Master that he establish a commission
to investigate the continued refusal of Lodges to discipline their
errant brethren.
Adherence to a strict moral code is one of the first pre-
requisites of our Order and one of our ancient landmarks. Two
excerpts from our ancient charges delineate our duty:
"A Mason is obligated by his tenure to obey the moral law" —
"You are to act as becomes a moral and wise man."
Notorious violations of this fundamental precept result in
adverse publicity for the Constituent Lodge and an insidious de-
terioration of the unenviable reputation universally accorded our
Order in our Communities. It would therefore appear mandatory
that every officer and member of our Lodges should be prepared
to assume the often unpleasant task of recommending and pur-
suing prompt and firm disciplinary action against erring Brethren.
Respectfully and fraternally submitted,
P. STUART MacKENZIE,
Chairman.
134 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION
REPORT OF THE MASONIC FOUNDATION
OF ONTARIO
M. Wor. Bro. W. K. Bailey presented the following
report. On Motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded
by M. Wor. Bro. Bailey, it was received and adopted.
To the Most Worshipful, the Grand Master, Officers and Members
of the Grand Lodge, A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province
of Ontario.
Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:
On behalf of The Masonic Foundation of Ontario, I, as
President of the Board of Directors, have the honour to present
the report of the Fourteenth Annual Meeting of The Foundation
which was held at 9:30 a.m., July 19, 1977, in the Royal York
Hotel.
At the end of the fiscal year, April 30, 1977, total assets
were $254,396.67, an increase of $21,219.07 from one year ago.
Included in the assets are bonds having a cost value of $247,402.50
and a par value of $255,000.00. Interest from investments was
$15,985.00, an increase of $2,766.34 over a year ago.
Disbursements for the year were $11,075.00 in bursaries to
students in post secondary school institutions and $2,320.00 to the
Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada (Ontario Division). The
operating expenses have been $774.69 for audit, postage and
stationery.
The Board of Directors is most grateful to the Grand
Master and the members of The Foundation, especially the
D.D.G.M.s, for excellent public relations on behalf of The
Foundation. Although we are receiving financial support from
ever increasing numbers of lodges, associations and brethren, we
have been utterly amazed that this worthy charitable arm of the
Masons of Ontario is still so little known and appreciated by our
brethren. There is a well-known slogan "Tell it well and it will
sell". Your Directors have been endeavouring to do just that and
we plead for more of the members of The Foundation to assist us.
A total of $16,871.65 in contributions was received from 90
lodges. 22 associations and 200 members in addition to 2 bequests.
Your Directors are appreciative of the 5, 10 and 25 dollar dona-
'tions as of the larger amounts such as:
$1,700.00 the lodges of Waterloo District
1,000.00 the Wilbert G. Welby Estate
1,000.00 the Albert D. Hahnau Estate
TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1977 135
500.00 Bedford Lodge No. 638 on 50th Anniversary
500.00 Caledonia Lodge No. 637 on 50th Anniversary
600.00 Miller Paving Employees in memory of
Albert Crone
680.00 London P.M.s' Association
600.00 Hamilton Scottish Rite Bodies
250.00 Zetland Lodge No. 326 for the 7th consecutive
year
350.00 W.M.s of Toronto
270.00 lodges of Ottawa 1 District
Bursaries were awarded to 32 students in 16 colleges and
universities. James J. Talman of the Board of Directors again
assumed the task of adjudicating the several requests for assist-
ance which had been recommended by the guidance counsellors
of the colleges. We are very appreciative of the cooperation of
those D.D.G.M.s who personally presented the awards to the
students. Responses from the awards officers, students and the
D.D.G.M.s, attest that our emergency financial aid has been
ministering to an urgent need. Apart from a donation to the
Multiple Sclerosis Society for research in the amount of $200.00,
we provided much needed equipment for a young lady who is
physically handicapped from multiple sclerosis. No doubt you
will be interested in learning that $1,000.00 was forwarded to
the Cobalt Fire Victims Fund.
May I, on your behalf, extend grateful appreciation to our
Secretary-Treasurer, T. John Arthur, who has processed the over
400 contributions, mailed double that number of acknowledg-
ments, responded to requests for memorial folders, fulfilled many
speaking engagements on behalf of The Foundation and main-
tained all records to the entire satisfaction of our auditors.
Finally your Board gives due notice that plans are being
laid to launch an every member canvas in 1978-79. We have set
a goal of $500,000.00 in Capital Funds for the Foundation by
1980 when Grand Lodge will mark the 125th anniversary. With
added income from such funding we propose to assist in meeting
the urgent need for equipment for physically handicapped children.
Since the close of our fiscal year The Foundation has re-
ceived a bequest of nearly $25,000.00 from the estate of the late
V.W. Bro. Harry Palmer of Oshawa.

136 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION
REPORT OF THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE
ON LODGE BUILDINGS
This report was presented by R.W. Bro. E. C.
Horwood, Chairman; on motion of the Deputy Grand
Master, seconded by R.W. Bro. Horwood, it was received
and adopted.
To the Most Worshipful the Grnnd Master, Officers and Members
of Grand Lodge, A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province
of Ontario.
Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:
Twenty years ago, in July, 1957, shortly after our late
esteemed M. W. Bro. Harry L. Martyn was elected Grand Master,
this Advisory Committee was established with the late R.W. Bro.
Geo. T. Evans being appointed as its first chairman. In the
interim, inquiries have been received by the Grand Secretary
from 259 Lodges and'or Temple Corporations. In the last 12
months, not only were there another 13 inquiries, which is the
average for the twenty year period, but, also, there were 6 new
Temples occupied and dedicated. In addition, your Committee
has had the pleasure of helping four delegations who came to
the Grand Lodge offices in Hamilton. Each delegation had its
own particular problem and each was most appreciative of the
help it received.
Because the design of most of the drawings, submitted to
this Committee for approval, do not conform with Grand
Lodge Regulations, it was the opinion of the Committee that,
in order to assist those who prepare drawings for submission to
the Advisory Committee, the following information will serve
a useful purpose.
The following Regulations, which must be followed, are.
for all intents and purposes, those which were adopted twenty
years ago by Grand Lodge at the Annual Communication in
July, 1957.
( 1 ) No property shall be acquired for the purpose of
erecting a Temple until the plot plan of the same has
been submitted to and approved by the Advisory Com-
mittee.
(2) No new building shall be erected until drawings have
been approved by the Advisory Committee.
(3) No building shall be purchased for use as a Masonic
Temple until the drawings of such building have been
TORO>a'0, ONTARIO, 1977 137
submitted to the Advisory Committee to enable it to
determine if such building can be altered to comply
with the regulations.
(4) No lodge or group of members shall enter into an
agreement to rent or lease any building or part of a
building until the drawings of such building have been
approved by the Advisory Committee.
(5) No lodge shall have alterations which contain struct-
ural changes and/or additions made to any existing
building until drawings for such work have been ap-
proved by the Advisory Committee.
(6) All drawings must be drawn to a scale of Va" or Va" to
the foot and submitted, IN DUPLICATE, to the Grand
Secretary for examination and approval by the Ad-
visory Committee before any work is commenced.
(7) All contact with the Advisory Committee on Lodge
Buildings shall be made only through the Grand Secre-
tary.
(8) A lodge cannot occupy or use new or remodelled or
extended premises before dedication of same without the
permission of the Grand Master.
(9) The procedure to be followed by the Lodge, group of
members, or Temple Corporation, as the case may be,
is to advise the District Deputy Grand Master when the
premises are ready for occupancy. The District Deputy
Grand Master, on completion, will then inspect the
premises to see that the work conforms with the ap-
proved drawings and correspondence. To assist him,
he will receive a copy of Form L.B.I, together with a
Questionnaire which he will have to fill out for the
Advisory Committee to check, before the Committee
can recommend, through the Grand Secretary, to the
Grand Master that he permit occupancy pending dedi-
cation.
(10) Lodges shall not give notice of meeting in the new
premises unless and until the Grand Master's permis-
sion to do so has been obtained. This usually requires
not less than three weeks. Lodges shall govern them-
selves accordingly.
The building committee of the Lodge, group of members,
or Temple Corporation, as the case may be, should warn those'
whether they be members of the Craft or not, who prepare
drawings for submission to the Advisory Committee, that it is
138 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION
very important to follow the requirements of Grand Lodge
contained in,
(1) Grand Lodge Bulletins, Forms L.B.I and L.B.2
(2) Fire Regulations No. L
(3) The National Building Code of Canada (1975) and/or
(4) Chapter 2, entitled "Common Requirements" of the 1971
Ontario Building Fire Safety Design Standard, and/or
(5) The Ontario New Building Code,
always keeping in mind that
(a) The National Building Code is essentially a set of min-
imum regulations respecting safety of buildings with
reference to public health, fire protection and struct-
ural sufficiency/ and
(b) Where variations occur, THE HIGHEST STANDARD
SHALL ALWAYS GOVERN. Much time, effort ana
money will be saved in the preparation and time b>
your Committee and the Lodges in the fruition of their
project.
As in the past, the Advisory Committee has been pleased to
help each of the several Lodges, groups and Temple Corpor-
ations, which sought assistance but let me assure our Brethren
that, at no time, does the Advisory Committee derive pleasure
when it has to inform a Lodge that it cannot approve the
project as presented. What really distresses the Committee is to
learn that a project has been undertaken without the knowledge
of this Committee who, in turn, must inform the Lodge that the
work must stop until the project does receive the Committee's
approval. At times, the Advisory Committee has been pleased to
assist with advice far beyond its responsibilities.
As Chairman of this Committee I realize how fortunate
not only I have been, but also Grand Lodge is, in having two
such dedicated Masons as the other two members of this Com-
mittee. I refer, of course, to the Grand Secretary, M.W. Bro. J.
A. Irvine, and M.W. Bro. Ewart G. Dixon, Grand Secretary
Emeritus.
All of which is respectfully and fraternally submitted.
E. C. HORWOOD,
Chairman.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON
AUDIT AND FINANCE
Presented by V.W. Bro. J. W. Millar, Chairman, on
motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by V.W.
Bro. Millar, it was received and adopted.
To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and Members
of the Grand Lodge, A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province
of Ontario.
Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:
This Committee has now reviewed and considered in detail
the reports of the Grand Treasurer, the Auditor's report attached
thereto, and the report of the Grand Secretary as referred to
it by this Annual Communication. These appear to fully and
accurately record the essential details pertaining to —
(a) the financial position of this Grand Lodge as of April
30, 1977, and the results of its fiscal operations on a cash basis
for the twelve-month period ended on that date.
(b) details of all Receipts and Disbursements in respect to
the General Fund, The Commutation Fund, the Memorial Fund,
and the Semi-Centennial Fund; together with particulars of all
transactions and changes in Capital Accounts of Grand Lodge,
which have occurred during the said period.
(c) the Investment Accounts of the above mentioned Funds
and the summary of all financial resources as of April 30, 1977.
The following observations respecting certain matters covered
by these reports, and or, relative to its financial affairs, are
presented for your consideration.
( 1 ) The Audited Statements of Grand Lodge accounts show
that the net balance of all its resources now amounts to
$1,942,156.67. This net balance includes total investments at
cost value (not market value), plus cash on hand and in the
bank and represents an increase in assets of $31,775.25 over
figures of a year ago.
(2) Following traditional policy, Grand Lodge Funds are
invested in Trustee Securities with the exception of $170,000.00
Series "A" and $40,000.00 Series "B" debentures of Masonic
Holdings which are payable on demand after June 1, 1978. These
were acquired under specific authority of this Grand Lodge in
1959. So far $182,000.00 of these debentures have been re-
deemed, including $10,000.00 redeemed on April 30th, 1977.
140 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION
All securities, with few exceptions, are fully registered as
to capital interest, and are currently held in the custody of the
Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, Hamilton, Ontario,
whose certificate of confirmation is referred to in the Auditor's
Report.
(3) Total receipts under the General Fund for fees, dues,
commutations, interest on investments, etc. amounted to
$304,687.95 while disbursements totalled $305,992.81 leaving a
current deficit of $1,304.86.
(4) Grants for benevolent purposes, less those refunded
and cancelled amounted to $60,128.70 an increase of $3,858.04
from a year ago. These grants were paid out of the combined
incomes of the Memorial and Semi-Centennial Funds, as supple-
mented by transfers from the General Fund, which last year
amounted to $21,500.00. The anticipated amount for the coming
year is the same. The Committee on Audit and Finance there-
fore recommends that in order to provide these funds, the
Board of General Purposes authorize in accordance with Section
119 of the Constitution, appropriation from the General Fund
up to the amount of $21,500.00. Such funds to be transferred
as and when required to the combined Memorial and Semi-
Centennial Funds, in order to supplement the interest and income
therefrom, thus making adequate provision for all benevolent
grants which Grand Lodge may make during the period May 1,
1977 to April 30, 1978. It should be noted that the Committee on
Benevolence has shown great care in administering its funds.
Your committee recommends approval of the special dona-
tions to charitable institutions totalling $4,400.00 which were
made under the authority of the Grand Master as itemized in
the Financial Statement.
In its review of all matters covered by this report, your
Committee has received the fullest cooperation and assistance
from the Grand Secretary and his staff. The cooperation of the
Grand Treasurer is also appreciated. Your Committee now
formally recommends to this Grand Lodge the adoption, without
amendment, the reports of the above mentioned officers and
approval of the recommendations contained in the report of
this Committee.
In accordance with Section 101 of the Constitution, your
Committee submits for consideration and approval, an estimate
of Receipts and Expenditures as it relates to the General Fund
for the year ending April 30, 1978.

Lodge financial responsibilities, obligations and commitments for
the current fiscal year.
All of which is respectfully and fraternally submitted on
behalf of your Committee.

Chairman.
REPORT OF THE GRAND CHAPLAIN
The Grand Chaplain, R.W. Bro. Rev. G. C. Coster
Scovil presented his report. On motion of the Deputy
Grand Master, seconded by R.W. Bro. Scovil, it was re-
ceived and adopted.
To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and Members
of Grand Lodge, A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province
of Ontario.
Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:
For the honour and privilege of being appointed Grai. .
Chaplain and the wonderful Masonic Experience of this past
year, thank you. Most Worshipful Grand Master. For your in-
TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1977 143
spiration, commencing with your Address at the last Annual
Communication when, in your conclusion, you emphasized the
Ancient Landmarks of Masonry and appended to your Address Ap-
pendix "'B" "Aims and Relationships of the Craft" from the Grand
Lodge of England, and continuing with your various addresses,
which I heard throughout the year — thank you. Fortunate were the
Brethren v/ho heard your talks on "Discipline", "Qualities of the
Worshipful Master", "Progress" in the world and in Masonry and
your historical address on the Grand Masters from your home
area of Hamilton. I will never forget your story of the hen
and the pig discussing total commitment. Actually your total
commitment to Masonry and your friendship are wonderfully
reflected in Grand Lodge Officers and in various lodges visited.
With gratitude I remember my Brethren of my Mother
Lodge, Aurum No. 704 in Timmins and the Brethren of Temiska-
ming District where my Masonic Life began. I appreciate the
Brethren of Beaver Lodge No. 83 in Strathroy who have
graciously received me as an affiliated member and with ap-
propriate honours presented me with the Grand Chaplain's
Regalia, the gift of an anonymous donor. It was a joy and
honour to be installed by Most Worshipful Brother William
Wright, my former Metropolitan, who has encouraged me in
Masonry. Thank you too, to the Grand Secretary and the Super-
visor of Benevolence for their vital guidance and encouragement.
Particularly a thank you to each of the District Chaplains and the
District Deputy Grand Masters who have been so co-operative.
We had forty-three District Chaplains of whom thirteen were
laymen and thirty were ordained clergy. Our ranks included one
newly entered into Masonry, many Past Masters and a former
Grand Chaplain of Ontario and a Past Grand Chaplain of British
Columbia and the Yukon. One Chaplain is seventy-five years old
but still a man of vigour and young in heart. During the year
one Chaplain was elected mayor of an important city and
another became Chaplain in the Canadian Armed Forces. Reports
indicate much hard work, with one chaplain making thirty-one
visits to eighteen lodges — giving twenty-one Invocation Prayers
and five Masonic Education talks. At his District Service over
one hundred and fifty Masons were present. One Chaplain em-
phasized the importance of "Work" well done for the sake of
candidates concerned, and another recommended the importance
of protocol of "reverse order of precedence" in the official visit
of the D.D.G.M.
Every District seems to have had its District service or
services. Many lodges too have had public Masonic services. One
service occurred on the Friday Sabbath evening. Services were held
on Sundays beginning at 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Services took
place in parks, synagogues, a Salvation Army Citadel and Churches
of numerous denominations. With one exception, encouraging
attendance of Masons was indicated. One Chaplain wrote "I find
144 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION
the services bring the men together on a slightly different basis
than the regular Lodge meetings and it improves the relation-
ship as a whole." Sermons were preached on: "What sayest Thou
of Thyself", "God and Man", "The Pillars of King Solomon's
Temple", "The Romance of our English Volume of the Sacred
Law — the Bible' and "Can you be a committed Jew or Christian
and a Mason? '
Masonic Education opportunities were reported by the District
Chaplains. Many of them expressed their appreciation that the
District Deputy Grand Masters gave them opportunities to speak
to the brethren on the official visits to the various lodges. The
Bruce Masonic News had an article by the District Chaplain —
"Things that money cannot buy" and The Tracing Board (Algoma
and Western Districts) Spring Edition 1976 had an article on
"Freemasonry and Religion" and another on "Charity". Several
Chaplains spoke at Masonic Education evenings.
The opportunities of sharing in Masonic Ceremonial were
some of the highlights of the year for me. The beauty of the
words and the dignity of the ceremony underlined the richness
of Masonic work. On the one hand there was the wonderful
fulfilment of dreams in the dedication of new temples and
the constituting and consecrating of new lodges. I was im-
pressed by the tremendous effort and self-sacrifice of so many
Masons which lay behind these occasions. It also gave one good
opportunity to observe the excellency of both our Grand Master
and Deputy Grand Master in their conducting of these cere-
monies. On the other hand, it was a joy to share in the present-
ation and dedication of Centennial regalia when we remembered
the rich heritage of the past hundred years and looked forward
hopefully into the second Century. Basic to this is, of course,
the annual Installation ceremonies, the Work of degrees and the
opening and closing of Lodges. I am sure that years of Masonry
will not reveal all the richness of our ceremonial.
Worship was naturally a part of the Grand Chaplain's ex-
perience. I preached at two District services, although I prefer
District Chaplains to do this, and had the privilege of preaching
at the Annual Memorial Service for our First Grand Master at
St. John's Church, Woodhouse. A highlight of the year for me
was sharing in the Annual Masonic Divine Service of the Seven
Toronto Districts at Beth Sholom Synagogue. The overflowing
response of the brethren astounded all concerned. We were in-
spired by the beautiful music of the Cantor and Choir. We will
not soon forget the sermon by Rabbi Harold Lerner based on
Jacob's Ladder. I hope that in future years there will be one
or more rabbis among the District Chaplains and that the time
will come that a Rabbi will be our Grand Chaplain. Another
happy event was being invited to preach at the Annual Christmas
Observance Service of Richard Coeur de Lion Preceptory No. 4,
Knights Templar in London.
TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1977 145
Masonic. Education was a part of the Grand Chaplain's year.
In this year I have learned a lot about the tremendous work of
Grand Lodge through attendance at the meetings of the Board
of General Purposes. To listen to the reports of Blood Donors,
Masonic Foundation with its aid to deserving students and
research work and Benevolence was an inspiration — such bles-
sings to others in our commimities. In an age of moral chaos,
it is good to find moral standards upheld with justice and mercy
in The Grievances and Appeals Committee. How excellent is
our newest publication, "Meeting the Challenge" to aid all
regular officers in carrying out their responsibilities with dignity
and fitness! Surely one of the great privileges of this past year
was to hear the Very Worshipful H. Carr deliver his superb
lecture on "Six Hundred Years of Masonry."
Fellowship was another richness for the Grand Chaplain.
It began with Grand Lodge Night at Centennial Lodge No. 684
in London when I wore the Grand Chaplain's regalia for the
first time. Grand Lodge Officers past and present put on a degree
and then there was a banquet. Then there were the banquets con-
nected with the Dedications, Consecrations, special District
visits of the Grand Master and Centennial visits. Inevitable was
the piper who piped us in, the well cooked meals provided by
members of various organizations or wives of the local brethren
and the inspiring addresses of either our Grand Master or Deputy
Grand Master. Each time there was opportunity to get to know
one or two brethren and to meet old aquaintances. For Brotherly
love, thank you Brethren.
With deep regret I had to turn down almost thirty kind
invitations. These invitations were appreciated and thank you
for them. Parochial duties and this past year some academic
commitments made it impossible to attend many events. The
gracious understanding of the Grand Master and others helped
immensely.
This past year I have indeed witnessed the workings of the
Most High in The Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the
Province of Ontario. May He continue to bless our Masonic
endeavours in the years ahead and may each one of us regularly
remember in our prayers our Grand Master, Grand Lodge, our
District Officers and the officers and members of our own Lodges
as well as our Masonic Brethren in fellowship with us throughout
the world.
Respectfully submitted,
C. COSTER SCOVIL,
Grand Chaplain.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON FRATERNAL
CORRESPONDENCE
FOREWORD
To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and Members
of Grand Lodge, A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province
of Ontario.
Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:
The Report of the Committee on Fraternal Correspondence
is a foreword to the reviews which follow. These reviews give
an analysis and summary of the activities of the Grand Lodges
throughout the world with whom we are in amity. We are in-
debted to R.W. Bro. J. J. Talman for his fine work in compiling
the reviews since 1961. It is a mammoth task and R.W. Bro.
Talman has accomplished that task so well.
For the past several years, the Lodges in our Jurisdiction
have been deeply concerned with the rise in assessment and taxes
on Masonically owned buildings. The Grand Master of Florida
laid down regulations for Lodges there to follow, if they were
to conform to the laws of the state regarding taxation of real
property. We are not alone in the taxation problem.
Following Canada's Centennial celebrations in 1967, Can-
adians became more aware of the need for preserving and mark-
ing historical sites. The reviews of Indiana, Kansas, Manitoba,
Massachusetts, Tennessee, District of Columbia, New Hamp-
shire, California and Ohio, describe the restoration and marking
of suitable historical areas in a most interesting manner.
Statistics are usually somewhat monotonous and dull in
nature. However, the second paragraph in the review of Kentucky
contains an item that cannot be described in this way. I quote:
"The Grand Lodge lost M.W. Bro. O. R. Ware (1913-14). At
the time of his death he was the Senior Past Grand Master in
the United States. Sixty years a Past Grand Master is an ex-
tremely rare honour. He was 92 when he died."
The review of New Zealand contains two items which should
interest most Masons in this Jurisdiction: 1. A short history of
the Grand Lodge of Finland. 2. Ways of extending the useful life
of the Volume of the Sacred Law in the Lodge.
The Grand Lodge of Ireland celebrated its 250th Anni-
versary in June, 1975. The review of Ireland discusses this happy
occasion at some length but the last paragraph includes, by
contrast, a short reference to the death by other than natural
causes of a number of its members. Despite the troubles which
prevail, enthusiasm and support of the Order are very much in
evidence on all sides.
The review of England should be read by all. It includes a
note on the rising costs of maintaining beautiful Freemason's
Hall, the increasing number of candidates and of new Lodges,
and a short account of events surrounding the Dedication of the
first Freemason's Hall, 23 May, 1776. The last item should
be a treasure for our history students.
We sometimes hear mild criticism that our Lodges are not
participating in the life of the community. The review of
Tasmania offers a fairly adequate answer to this criticism. Read
also Scotland.
In Canada we have some concern about bilingualism. In
Israel they have individual lodges which do their work in one of
seven different languages. It is interesting, too, that there is
only one Masonic Temple in each city and all Lodges meet in the
one Temple.
This foreword has indicated some of the outstanding events
and concerns mentioned in the reviews. You are invited to read
them all because they are informative and well worth the time
spent in doing so.
Respectfully and fraternally submitted.
BRUCE B. FOSTER,
Chairman.
Fraternal Correspondence and Reviews
ALBERTA — 1976
7 1st Annual Communication — June 11-12.
Grand Master, 1975-76 — M.W. Bro. W. A. Milligan

The Grand Secretary's Report listed amendments to lodge
by-laws which the Grand Master had approved during the year.
Of the 54 noted, 39 increased dues. The average dues in the
Jurisdiction run from $8.00 (one lodge) to $50.00 (one lodge).
The average is $19.67 with 36 at $15.00 and 45 at $20.00.
The Grand Lodge investigated the feasibility of obtaining
suitable quarters for a Masonic Temple in the facsimile of Fort
Edmonton being built as a historic park. The Committee selected a
building which will be a duplicate of the Masonic Hall built first
in 1903 and situated on 102 Street half a block South of Jasper
Avenue. Since the original Fort Edmonton has been completely
built over, the new construction is on new ground. Lodges met in
the original 1903 temple until 1931. The reconstruction of the
first temple did not lend itself for Masonic purposes. The project,
if proceeded with, will necessitate the raising of not less than
$12,500 and probably more.
The Grand Master, in his address, gave his opinion that lodges
could do more than they are doing in the area of benevolence and
suggested that the W.M. of each lodge should appoint a Com-
mittee to study the matter as he said, "Our society still has a
need for our aid in the way of benevolence but it is our responsi-
bility to locate this need and the form it should take."
The Grand Master also made an interesting observation re-
garding changes he has noticed in the place of Freemasomy in
the community:
"I have observed, as I travel around the province, that our
membership is becoming much more outward looking than it has
over the years. I find that lodges, through their membership,
are becoming better known in their respective communities and
appear to feel more freer to discuss what we stand for with non-
masons. I believe this to be a healthy attitude which should be
encouraged as society today requires answers before becoming
4 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA
involved in any function or organization. This change is having
a good effect in that we are initiating many more younger men into
the Craft. This reduction in age is a very necessary thing if we are
to remain an organization with a future. Such things as the Banff
Spring Workshop, guidance and instruction from District Deputies,
interlodge visitations and other such activities has had an excellent
effect within our lodges and is bringing us out into the open for
all to see."
ARIZONA — 1976
94th Annual Communication — May 17-18.

Grand Master, 1976-77 — M.W. Bro. T. P. Nelson
Lodges, 70 Membership, 15,705. Gain, 156.
Only two Lodges were not represented at the Annual Com-
munication.
Bagdad Lodge No. 54 offered a resolution that Grand Lodge
annually designate one member lodge as a "recipient lodge"
and as such "through the encouragement and good offices of
the Grand Lodge be the recipient of voluntary gifts of time, talent
and financial resources from the constituent lodges" and indiv-
iduals, the aim of the project being to improve the lodge halls
in the Jurisdiction. The proposers outlined carefully the method of
implementation. The resolution was received and referred to
the General Policy and Jurisprudence Committees.
The Grand Lodge has an active Building Survey Com-
mittee which during the year passed on proposals by three lodges
to acquire, add to or alter lodge premises. In one case a lodge
had acquired an unused church building.
The Masonic Home Study Committee agreed that the erection
and maintenance of a Masonic Home is not warranted at this time.
ARKANSAS — 1976
135th Annual Communication — November 16-17.

The Grand Secretary covered many topics of interest in his
Report. One comment, applicable in all jurisdictions, dealt with the
FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 5
need for adequate fire and extended coverage insurance "and in
proper form today (no fine print so to speak that you do not
understand)." Arkansas loses "at least one Lodge per year, usually
more." He also stressed the need to preserve valuable records in
a safe place. A second subject which applied specifically to the
Grand Lodge of Arkansas was headed: "Open Air Meetings.
Conferral of the Master's Degree under the whole canopy of
heaven." Since the descriptions give details not often provided, in
Proceedings, they are given here in full.
"In Arkansas we presently have two open air meetings: The
Gravel Pit Degree at Harrisburg, and the Rock Quarry Degree
at Conway.
"The Gravel Pit Degree is in its 27th year and is held the
last Saturday in July and the Rock Quarry Degree is relative new
being in their 4th year and is held around the middle of Sept-
ember.
"As far as the setting is concerned, they are distinctly different.
The Gravel Pit has seating capacity of around 750 (bleacher type)
on all four sides of the rectangle comparable to a Lodge Hall
with standard Altar and Stations from the Lodge Hall. Night lights
and/or flood lights provide the lighting. The Gravel Pit Degree is
located in the City of Harrisburg behind the DX Service Station
east on Highway 14.
"The Rock Quarry gets it name from the quarry on the east
bank of the Arkansas River near the New Toad Suck Ferry
bridge southwest of Conway on Highway 60. It is carved out of
the mountain and huge boulders are used for the Stations. The
seating arrangement at present is folding chairs until some other
type of seating can be provided. The uniqueness of this location is
that lighted torches are placed along the edge of the cliff so that
no one will slip and fall into the River. Torches are also placed in
the crevasses of the rocks in the mountain to give the place an
atmosphere of the older day of degrees being conferred on
high hills and in low vales so that they could be properly tyled. Of
course 'both' are properly tiled according to Law as stated in the
Special Dispensation which must be requested in writing to the
Grand Master each year and with his approval. This Dispensation
is read before the degree is conferred. You will note also that the
Charter of the Lodge requesting the Special Dispensation is
always displayed in front of the Master's Station."

Harbour Lodge U.D. at Pender Harbour received a warrant
and two new lodges were instituted: Moxint Begbie Lodge U.D. of
100 Mile House and Blue Mountain Lodge U.D. at Port Coquitlam.
The Jurisdiction is divided into 26 Districts with a D.D.G.M.
in each. Consequently, each D.D.G.M. is responsible for about
six or seven lodges. Victoria District No. 21 has nine, one of which
is Victoria Lodge of Education and Research. Not only did the
D.D.G.M. make his official visit but he installed the W.M.
and Officers in each lodge. The D.D.G.M. of Comox-Alberni
District No. 22, in addition to his official visits, "surprise
visited" every lodge in the District, some of them several times.
He found the work well done. Another D.D.G.M. of Okanagan-
Revelstoke District No. 9 requested each lodge Secretary to
schedule no degree work on the night of the official visit. Instead,
the D.D.G.M. returned to each lodge at least twice. It looks as
though the District Deputy Grand Masters take their responsibilities
seriously.
The Committee on the Grand Lodge Bursary Fund told of a
successful year. TTie Capital Fund now stands at $209,134.00.
The amount available in August, 1975, was $21,500.00. This
was apportioned into 65 Bursaries and 8 Educational Grants. The
average award was $300.00. As in former years, every effort was
made to ensure that awards were made to those applicants who
had the greatest need for them and each successful candidate was
required to have the necessary academic qualifications to enter
the post-secondary course he proposed to follow.
Since its inception in 1961, the Bursary Fund has made awards
to applicants, the total sum awarded being $209,196.00.
Bursaries are awarded to students wishing to attend one of
the Universities in British Columbia, the B.C. Institute of Tech-
nology, or any one of the Regional Colleges (Malaspina College.
Douglas College, Vancouver Community College, etc.).
Educational Grants are awarded to students who do not wish
to attend a college or university to take an academic course, but
who wish to enrol in a vocational institution such as a School of
Nursing, a Vocational School or Institute, or at a Regional College
to take a vocational course in such areas as Journalism, Graphic
Arts, Accounting, etc.

FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 7
This is our first Review for California since 1974. The 1973
report showed that the age of the Brethren was causing concern.
Now, the Grand Master is encouraged as large numbers of young
men are joining the Fraternity and are taking part in its activities.
Attendance at meetings also has improved "in many instances
where the ladies have been included in dinners prior to meetings
and provided entertainment while the members are at labour."
The Grand Lodge laid more than 20 cornerstones. One in
particular appealed to the Grand Master as a new high in pro-
moting universal brotherhood. It was the laying of the corner-
stone of the Christian Brothers High School in Sacramento. This
school, which stresses training youth from relatively poor homes
for careers in trade following graduation, is supported by the
public at large and is highly regarded. The Grand Master believed
that the ceremony did much for the image of Masonry.
For the first time in five years a new Lodge, Fountain Valley
Bicentennial Lodge U.D. was instituted. The membership is young
and enthusiastic.
A second Lodge, Daylight Bicentennial Lodge U.D. also was
instituted. This Lodge in Sacramento will fill a great need in that
area, enabling night workers and others to attend in the daytime.
One unusual event was the dedication of the rebuilding of
Quitman Lodge No. 88 in the Malakoff Diggings State Historic
Park on August 23. 1976. A bronze plaque is to be placed on the
building so that all who visit this State Park will know that
Masonry had an important part of "winning the West." On this
project the Grand Master was faced with an emergent decision.
Masons had the choice early in the year to participate in rebuild-
ing the interior part of the second floor of the building which is
to house Quitman Lodge or to lose forever the opportunity to
have the Lodge included in the structure as it was during its hey
day. Five thousand dollars were needed for materials. Relying on
a provision in the California Code, the Grand Master authorized
the amount. Grand Lodge supported his action.
The Grand Master recommended that the Grand Lodge
sponsor a pilot travel tour for Masons, their families and friends.
The Committee on Policy and General Purposes recommended
against adoption as in their opinion the Grand Lodge should not
be connected with any commercial activity. Grand Lodge sup-
ported the Committee.

The Grand Master, M.W. Bro. Lin was born in and spent
his childhood days in Taiwan during the Japanese occupation and
so learned Japanese. When eleven he went to the Diocesan School
in Hong Kong, where he learned English and Cantonese. On his
return to Taiwan he had to learn Mandarin and the local
Taiwanese dialect. He should have little trouble in communicating
with any Masons he may meet.
M.W. Bro. Lin reported that the Grand Master's Ball "was
a huge success from the point of view of excellent attendance."
Cost of the dinner tickets are kept to a minimum so that
all Masons and their families could attend. "It was the one op-
portunity during the year when all Masons on the Island got
together for grand fellowship, spread good will and fraternal
love amongst the brethren." Approximately 375 Masons, their
ladies and friends attended.

Thanks to a donation of panelling and lighting fixtures given
by the Company of the Grand Master, the offices of the Grand
Lodge in Taipei were renovated and made much more attractive.
The Grand Master's Bali was a great success. Furthermore
"the affair turned out very attractive for the coffers (nearly NT
$100,000) of the Grand Lodge and to its charity fund."
Under the heading "Return of Wayward Masons" an expres-
sion not often encountered but expressive, the Grand Master told
of his activity in trying to solve this problem.
"An effort was made this year to get Masons who had for
some reason or another dropped their membership in Masonry
back into the fraternity. I established an unwritten rule that by
paying the one year's current dues and two year's back dues any
member could be reinstated regardless of how many years he
was in arrears and with no questions asked as to why he was
delinquent. This formula seemed to work quite satisfactorily and
we gained back into our fraternity many members who had been
absent from us for many years. It is hoped that this effort
will be continued as there are many brothers who are interested in
returning to the fraternity."

In addition to many fraternal visitations both in and outside
his Jurisdiction, the Grand Master accomplished his goal of
visiting in all 133 of the constituent lodges. Many were memorable
and special occasions such as the 150th anniversaries of three
lodges and one 100th. The Grand Master also accompanied Sequin
Lodge No. 140 on their fraternal visit to Prince of Wales Lodge
No. 63, Sherbrooke, Quebec.
The Committee on Brotherhood planned and took part in
many programmes throughout the State. This group, as indi-
viduals rather than a committee works with the state heads of
the fraternal groups: Knights of Columbus, B'nai B'rith, and
Prince Hall Masons. They held several meetings to discuss common
problems. One of the highlights of the year was the 10th Anni-
versary Dance held at the Knights of Columbus Hall, Southington.
The state heads of all four groups attended.
The Custodians of the Work developed a revised ritual for
the conduct of the Table Lodge. This revision was an attempt to
further enrich the ceremony of the Table Lodge by introducing
more of the customs and practices of the Masonic Feasts of
early times. They hoped thereby to augment and improve the
traditional friendly and joyous atmosphere of the occasion.
Latitude in the conduct of the ceremony was provided, to give
adaptability to the requirements and wishes of individual Lodges
acting as sponsors.

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

The Chairman of the Committee on Work and Lectures
reported that the Committee had cooperated with the Grand Lect-
urer in conducting a school of instruction on the first and third
Saturday nights of each month for the benefit of the officers
and members of the constituent lodges. Attendance and interest
were high and the results are showing up in the lodges.
The Grand Lodge laid the cornerstone of the Adas Israel
Synagogue. The Original Adas Israel Synagogue was dedicated in
1876 but was moved to a new site where the cornerstone was laid.
The synagogue is listed in the Register of Historic places as an
officially designated landmark of the District of Columbia and
maintained by the Jewish Historical Society of the District.
Lsst year's Review reported the Masonic Home had vac-
ancies in both the open home and in the infirmary, rather than the
customary waiting list. The situation continued, with a slight im-
provement.

FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 11
The Board of General Purposes was "seriously exercised" by
the unavoidable costs of maintaining Freemason's Hall. During
the year new boilers were installed at a cost of £84,579 to replace
the old ones which had been in use since the building was com-
pleted in 1933. Freemason's Hall was designed '"on a lavish
scale at a time when rates, heating and lighting were comparatively
minor factors." The Board is also considering the possibility of
letting the Grand Temple for wider purposes such as concerts
for which its organ and other facilities are well suited. The Board
added: "this is a novel step, and one which might well have caused
offence in earlier generations which were not faced with inflation
at its present rate."
The President of the Board of General Purposes at the March
Quarterly Communication in reporting on the usual Annual
Returns of Lodges on the Grand Lodge Register and of Grand
Lodge Certificates issued in 1975 added: "It is gratifying to see
that the number of Grand Lodge Certificates issued shows a mark-
ed recovery when compared with the figures for recent years,
and this in spite of the gloomy fears sometimes expressed that
Masonry is in decline."
The totals given for Certificates issued at Freemasons' Hall
and those issued by District Grand Masters since 1966 have been
something under 19,186 (in 1966). Of recent years, however, the
figure has been under 18,000 (17,313) in 1974. In 1975, however,
it reached 18,309. In the period 1966-1975 the Lodges on the
Grand Register increased from 7,286 to 7,804.
The M.W. Grand Master commented on the gratifying
figures at the Annual Investiture:
"The President also mentioned in March that for the first time
in some years 1975 had shown an increase in the number of Grand
Lodge Certificates issued: at a time when the membership figures
of almost all Grand Lodges are going down this is most heartening
news. I have little doubt that our policy of more and smaller
Lodges has helped to bring this about: seventy new Lodges in
1973, sixty-eight in 1974 and sixty-three in 1975 have given op-
portunities to more young Masons to gain experience and to en-
courage the entry into the Craft of their contemporaries."'
At the same gathering he added his views regarding certain
restrictions on the office Pro Grand Master: "It has seemed
illogical to me ever since I became Grand Master, and the office
of Pro Grand Master was revived after twenty-five years' disuse,
that with it alone of all Grand Ranks there should be a bar of
a non-Masonic nature to the Grand Master's freedom of choice,
namely that the Pro Grand Master is required to be a Peer of the
Realm: I need hardly say that removal of this clause by Grand
Lodge would not entail the removal of the Pro Grand Master by
me and his replacement by a commoner, but I think it is an
12 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA
irritating and outmoded limitation which might present serious
difficulties in the future."
The Board of Benevolence granted £1,000 each to the Grand
Lodge of Guatemala and the Grand Orient of Italy "to meet the
Masonic needs" occasioned by the major earthquakes in the two
countries. The Board acted immediately, owing to the urgency
of the two crises, and sought approval of its action from the Grand
Lodge which, of course, it received.
The Grand Lodge celebrated the bicentennial of the Dedica-
tion of the First Freemasons' Hall, 23 May, 1776, which stood
on the site of the present Freemasons' Hall. At the June Quarterly
Communication, W. Bro. T. O. Haunch, P.A.G. Supt. Wks.. gave
a "well-informed and witty address" describing the events of
200 years before. Unfortunately it is too long to be reprinted
here in full. A few lines, however, must be included to record
this occasion, most significant in the history of world Free-
masonry.
"On the morning of Thursday the twenty-third of May. 1776.
this part of London must have presented a very animated sight
indeed as carriages bearing brethren and their ladies converged
upon Great Queen Street. To the rear of the house at No. 61, which
itself was already let in part as Freemasons' Tavern, stood the
newly completed Hall built 'for the use of the Society' and to be
dedicated that day by the Grand Master, Lord Petre, he having
laid the Foundation Stone a year previously. Robert Edward. 9th
Lord Petre, had become Grand Master in 1772 and at once he
actively interested himself in the project for building a Hall. It
is. I think, noteworthy to record that the realisation of this
ambition, an event whose Bicentenary we are celebrating this
year, and one which was such a milestone in the history of Grand
Lodge, should have owed so much to the interest, and the personal
participation and financial support of Lord Petre. one of the few
brethren of the Roman Catholic faith to have presided over the
Craft as Grand Master. . .
"The Ceremony consisted of three parts, the Dedication proper
conducted in the presence of brethren only prefaced and followed
hv public ceremonials at which the ladies and other non-masons
were present . . . The first part of the open or public proceedings
started with the anthem composed for the laying of the foundation
stone the year before, and set to the tune of Rule Britannia, and
after this the Grand Secretary, James Hesehine. delivered an
exordium on Masonry which is reported to have been 'not less
instructive than elegant' . . . More music followed during which
the ladies and the non-masons amongst the musicians withdrew
from the Hall and adjourned to Freemasons' Tavern, there to
partake of tea and coffee. The tenant Bro. Luke Reilly. had been
allowed sixpence a head on this account for all attending the
Dedication.
FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 13
"Meanwhile back in the Hall Grand Lodge having gone
into closed session the Grand Master ordered the Hall to be tyled
and the lodge (i.e. the lodge board) to be uncovered. All was then
ready for the essential business of the day to begin. So followed
the Ceremony proper, the ritual circumambulations accompanied
by music on the organ, punctuated at the appropriate intervals
by the giving of grand honours, the while the Grand Master in
solemn form performed the triple dedications of the Hall to
Masonry, Virtue and Universal Charity and Benevolence — a
form of ceremony followed again in its essentials for the Dedi-
cation of this present Hall over a hundred and fifty years later.
■'The Dedication completed, the lodge board was again
covered and the ladies were readmitted (as the record has it)
amidst the acclamations of the brethren'."

Only four lodges were not represented at the Annual Com-

9 cornerstones laid two were for banks and two for court houses.
In his Executive Orders, the Grand Master laid down regu-
lations for particular Lodges to foUow if they are to conform
strictly to the laws of Florida regarding the Ad Valorem Taxation
of real property.
1. That a portion of every Stated Lodge meeting be set
aside for a lecture, talk or discussion of some Masonic or local
community charity or charitable endeavour and that members
present be urged to contribute to and support such charity or
charitable endeavour and record be made in minutes thereof.
2. That the Lodge bulletin or trestle board, if one is pub-
lished, should contain an announcement of the program of the
Lodge relating to the above.
3. That every Lodge make its facilities available at cost or
below cost or at no cost to groups or organizations who support,
sponsor or perform charitable services and who do not own
facilities needed for place of meeting. This action is specifically
recognized by Florida law as a factor to be considered in
granting or denying tax exemption.

4. That the Lodge Board of Relief meet frequently and
regularly and make report thereof to the Lodge and such report
be incorporated in the Lodge Minutes.
5. That every Lodge contribute to some one or more com-
munity charities or charitable endeavours as may be determined
by the Lodge.

During January, 1976, the Grand Master and Grand Secretary
held a "get acquainted meeting" in each of the twelve Masonic
Districts for the purpose of getting acquainted with the Masters,
Secretaries and other Lodge Officers and Brethren. The meetings
were well attended and profitable.
Georgia acted as host for the Southeastern Conference. The
threat of Hurricane Dottie forced those in attendance to rush
the programme and end it a day early.
The Grand Lodge met in 12 Emergent Communications, in
practically all cases to lay cornerstones for new lodge buildings.
The strict rules in Georgia regarding the admission of candi-
dates associated with any aspect of the liquor, beer or wine trade
produced a ruling which shows how far the prohibition may
be carried. The Grand Master reported:
"I was requested by the Secretary of Clinton Lodge No. 54
to rule on whether an employee who worked as an overseer of
freight cars and trucks, and stored cases which contained beer in
a distributing company warehouse, was disqualified because
of the nature of his employment to petition for the Degrees of
Masonry. I investigated this very closely and since the party
involved could not be determined to be furnishing, manufacturing,
selling or serving spiritous, malt or intoxicating liquors for profit,
I ruled that if he otherwise was judged favourably on his moral
qualifications, that he should be permitted this privilege."
The Masonic Home ran into many difficulties during the year.
The laundry was discontinued as the machinery had worn out. The
FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 15
farm, which provides fruit, vegetables and meat for the Home
and also provides its own feed for livestock, being small cannot
be run at a profit. It does, however, give an opportunity for many
of the children in the home to become involved in the operations.
It is hoped that certain changes in management will improve
matters. There were 36 boys and 26 girls in the home during the
year.
The Grand Lodge owns 932 acres of land, administered by the
Home board, located in various counties and used for various
purposes such as the Home farm, camp sites, a pear orchard and
a timber growing area.

The Grand Secretary commented on a problem which, even
if not often discussed, is real.
"Statistics may be of very little interest to many Masons,
and we often tend to disregard them. However, they convey some
very revealing conditions which need our immediate attention.
"As an example, 285 candidates were Initiated during the
past year and only 184 were Raised. Some will argue that this is
merely the back-log which normally accumulates prior to the
ending of the fiscal year. Actually, the file on 'Failures to Advance'
continues to grow, and this condition has existed for many years.
We have an annual average of approximately 100 candidates who
are lost for Failure to Advance. Some of these received their first
degree several years ago, and in some instances have not even been
dropped from the record.
"The application of arithmetic demonstrates that the average
operating proficiency of our Lodges is only 65 per cent. If all
Lodges were proficient in the Investigation of petitioners, in the
conferring of degrees, and in the coaching of candidates, we
should be Raising the same number as we Initiate. Instead we have
35 per cent of our candidates who are lost for Failure to Advance.
"The only possible conclusion is that Lodges are failing to
direct adequate attention to the duties for which they are
chartered."

The first distinguished visitor to be presented by the Grand
Master was M.W. Bro. Eric W. Nancekivell.
The Grand Master, early in his address, said that before the
end of his second term he hoped to see the fruition of his fondest
dream: "a Masonic Blood Bank for the entire State of Illinois."
Although ten lodges consolidated to form five, the Grand
Master had an honour which has not come to an Illinois Grand
Master for many years. He received two petitions for dispens-
ations to form new lodges. In addition, a group of Brethren
requested a dispensation to form a Lodge of Research. The request
was granted and lUinois Lodge of Research, Bloomington, was
instituted. The Grand Lodge granted Charters to the new Lodges.
The Grand Lodge met in many Occasional Communications:
dedicated four Masonic Buildings, laid five cornerstones for new
Lodge Temples, dedicated a Liberty Tree and a Park Fountain, in
Decatur, as well as several flagpoles. The Grand Lodge en-
courages the flying of flags at Masonic buildings.

the establishment of a Chapter or Chapters of the Order of the

be rescinded and the matter be dropped for the present. The
motion was carried.
The Grand Master reported that during 1975 three new
lodges had been consecrated. He also stressed the importance of

Charity, telling of the clinics at Delhi, Calcutta and Madras
which serve well in relieving the suffering of large numbers of
people, both Masons and non-Masons.

The Grand Lodge of Indiana was constituted on January
12, 1818 in an upstairs room of an inn called Schofield House,
in Madison. In 1972 Indianapolis Valley of the Scottish Rite
bought the building and the Grand Lodge formed a nonprofit
organization to restore and keep up the property to preserve the
Masonic heritage in Indiana. As funds were somewhat slow in
coming in, the 1975 Annual Communication ordered a one
year "crash" programme to raise funds equivalent to $2.00 per
member for restoration and eventual endowment of the building.
The 1976 Annual Communication voted to complete the project.
A proposal which would have permitted voting at the altar
was rejected.
The total of per capita tax and assessments, payable with
Grand Lodge dues in 1977, is $11.07, divided as follows: Grand
Lodge General Fund, $1.98; Trustees, 9 cents; Indiana Masonic
Home, assessment upon each dues-paying member, $9.00. The
Home has a population of about 425. Annual cost per ambulatory
resident is just under $6,000.00 and per hospital patient almost
$11,000.00.
M.W. Bro. J. N. Allan, P.G.M., represented our Grand
Lodge at the Annual Communication. He heard the Grand
Master report that as he travelled about the Jurisdiction he was
impressed by the many younger officers and members in the
programmes of individual lodges. "The condition of the Craft in
Indiana is good and getting better," he declared.
18 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA
During the year the Grand Lodge Historical Commission

At Vincennes, on the actual site of the print shop where
Elihu Stout, later Grand Master of Masons in Indiana, established
the first newspaper in Indiana Territory, 1804.
At Lafayette, on or near the spot where members of Sierra

to join the California gold rush.
IRELAND — 1974, 1975
Annual Reports of the Grand Secretary
Grand Master — M.W. Bro. Rt. Hon. The Earl of Donoughmore
We last reported on the Grand Lodge of Ireland in 1975
and even then the information dealt with the year 1973. Now we
can catch up a little but the records, which arrived on August 9,
1976, are still somewhat belated. Without a doubt, the most
significant event on which to report was the celebration of the
foundation of the Grand Lodge of Ireland in June 1975. The
culmination came on St. John the Baptist's Day, June 24, in an
Especial Communication of Grand Lodge held in the Concert
Hall of the Royal Dublin Society, Ballsbridge.
The various celebrations attracted Brethren from all parts
of the world while the attendance of those from lodges in Ireland
was most impressive. Each function drew large audiences.
The programme followed this order:
Sunday, 22 June: Service of Thanksgiving in the Cathedral
and Collegiate Church of St. Patrick, Dublin.
Monday. 23 June: Morning — Special Communication of the
Grand Lodge of Instruction in Freemasons' Hall. Moles-
worth Street, Dublin.
Afternoon — Special Communication of Lodge of Re-
search No. 200 in Freemasons' Hall.
Evening — Reception at the Royal Dublin Society's
premises, Ballsbridge, Dublin.
Tuesday, 24 June: Especial Communication of the Grand
Lodge of Ireland in the Royal Dublin Society's Concert
Hall, Ballsbridge, at 3 o'clock.
FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 19
Evening — Dinner for visiting delegations in Free-
masons' Hall, Molesworth Street, Dublin.
The Grand Master singled out M.W. Bro. George E. Turner,
our representative, for special mention. The Official Record of
Proceedings gave this warm account:
"The Earl of Donoughmore, in welcoming M.W. Bro. George
Turner, the Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Canada in the
Province of Ontario, mentioned the fact that when the late Ray-
mond Brooke was Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Ireland
he had invited him, the then Provincial Grand Master of the South
Eastern Province, to go to Canada to represent the Grand Lodge
of Ireland at the hundredth anniversary of the foundation of the
Canadian Grand Lodge. He had been very glad to go and felt
highly honoured at being invited. T was a comparatively young
Provincial Grand Master at that time,' added the Grand Master,
'but I was thrilled at the opportunity to meet some of my
Canadian Brethren. Though it is now some considerable time since
that visit I can still remember — indeed, I shall never forget — the
wonderful hospitality extended to me, the warmth of the friend-
ship of our Canadian Brethren and generally the hearty welcome
which I received. I am very happy indeed that this afternoon
M.W. Bro. Dr. Turner has been able to make the journey to be
with us in Grand Lodge on this happy occasion.' "
The Official Record of Proceedings includes a brief 15-page,
but comprehensive, history of the Grand Lodge by V.W. Bro.
Richard E. Parkinson, B.Sc. Unfortunately it cannot be reprinted
here.
The account of the 250th Anniversary celebrations has kept
us from the less happy aspects of Irish Freemasonry, especially
in Northern Ireland. Yet the picture is not completely bleak.
The Provincial Grand Master of Antrim, which includes Belfast,
while lamenting "the depressing shadow that has now hung over
Northern Ireland for so many years" said "We are not lacking
in hopefulness." Outside Belfast "country Lodges show them-
selves as healthy and enthusiastic as ever." They are finding,
however, that high maintenance costs of their buildings are causing
some concern. The Lisburn Brethren had built a fine new Hall,
providing excellent facilities, to replace a less satisfactory meeting
centre.
The Provincial Grand Master included one paragraph which
deserves notice: "I might add here that the Province of Antrim
provided perhaps an unusual commemoration of the anniversary
in the special service of thanksgiving for 250 years of Free-
masonry under the guidance and governance of the Grand Lodge
of Ireland, organized by Sholom Lodge 636 and King David
Lodge 820 and held in the Belfast Synagogue."
20 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA
Despite the notes of hope one cannot but be moved by half
a dozen lines in the report of the Provincial Grand Master of
Armagh.
"Freemasonry in the Province suffered a severe loss through-
out the year by the death of a number of its worthy members —
unfortunately not all by natural causes. I think especially of the un-
timely passing of three Brethren of Lodge 655 Newtownhamilton
and deeply sympathise with the bereaved and the Lodge members
in their tragic loss. To the families of other Brethren who at
different times met the same cruel fate I extend my deepest
sympathy."
IRELAND — 1976
Annual Report of the Grand Secretary.
Grand Master — M.W. Bro. Rt. Hon. The Earl of Donoughmore
This Report arrived just as we were going to press. It is
gratifying to be able to catch up our arrears in the record of the
Jurisdiction which, more than any other, exercises the minds of
Masons throughout the world. We in Ontario are particularly
concerned as many thousands of Irish men and women migrated to
the colony or province, as the case might be, during the past 150
years.
The Grand Lodge held the March and December Quarterly
Communications in Dublin. In June, Grand Lodge travelled to
Londonderry and the Grand Master presided. The Provincial De-
puty Grand Master of Londonderry and Donegal thanked the
Grand Master for arranging for the meeting to be held there so
as to make travel for the Brethren so much more easy.
Grand Lodge met in the Masonic Hall, Newtownards, Belfast
in October. The Grand Master who presided, thanked Lodge
No. 193, MiUisle, County Down, for their splendid donation of
£2,000 for Charity, which sum was raised to mark the 150th
Anniversary of the Lodge. The Grand Master also received a
cheque for £2,050 for the Masonic Boys' School, donated by
Old Portora Lodge No. 859.
The Provincial Grand Master of Antrim reported that sub-
scriptions to various charities showed for 1976 an increase of
£4,390 over the previous year.
Despite the troubles which prevail enthusiasm and support
for the Order are very much in evidence on all sides.

The April 1976 issue of "Haboneh Hahofshi"' or "The Free-
mason" is of particular interest to us as a major article dealt with
TTie First Masonic Lodge in the Holy Land. The introduction
stated: "Our correspondent from Canada, sent us the necessary
material concerning the first Masonic Lodge, consecrated in
Jerusalem by the Grand Lodge of Canada. This is no doubt
a historical matter, and we reprint the relevant citations from
the proceedings of the Grand Lodge of Canada."
Unfortunately, the correspondent is not named. The article
gives extracts from the Proceedings of our Grand Lodge for 1873.
1877 and 1882 which tell of the constitution of the Royal Solomon
Lodge No. 293 in Jerusalem and its difficulties.
The same issue gave an informative account of the organiza-
tion of the Grand Lodge of Israel on October 20, 1953, under
the Grand Lodge of Scotland.
Today Tel-Aviv-Jaffa has 24 Lodges of which 14 work in
Hebrew, 3 in English, 3 in German, 1 in Roumanian. 1 in French,
1 in Arabic, and 1 in Spanish.
Jerusalem has 8 lx>dges of which 5 work in Hebrew, 1 in
Arabic, 1 in English and 1 in German.
Haifa has 8 Lodges of which 4 work in Hebrew, 1 in Arabic
and Hebrew, 1 in German, 1 in French, and 1 in English.
Cities with two Lodges are Acre with 1 Arabic and 1 Hebrew;
Petah-Tikva both in Hebrew; Ramat-Gan both in Hebrew.
Cities with one Lodge are Ashkelon, Afula, Beer-Sheba, Eilat,
Hadera, Nathania, Rishon-le-Zion, Tiberias, and Zefat all in
Hebrew, Herzlia in English, Nahariya in German, Rama in
Arabic and Rehoboth in Hebrew.
The total number of active Lodges in Israel is 59 with a total
membership of about 3000, divided among Tel-Aviv-Jaffa, Jerusa-
lem, Haifa and elsewhere in the country. Their Meetings are
scheduled so that some meet twice a month, some meet once a
month, some meet on no fixed day, and 1 meets occasionally. No
meetings are held on Friday or Saturday because it is expressly
forbidden to have any meeting other than one for a religious

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

Lodges, 20. Membership, 4,362. Loss, 356.
The Grand Master expressed concern over the third year of a
loss in membership, largely arising from suspensions N.P.D. He
attributed the situation to lack of communication between lodges
and members. He also was concerned by the large number of
American military personnel forming the active membership in
some of the lodges. The transfer of active members in connection
with their military duties places a burden on the lodges involved.
He added:
"Efforts must be made to develop, in relatively compressed
periods of time, the skills and capabilities of remaining active
members to adequately compensate for the members lost due to
rotational assignment policies of the American Military. Effective
and special Lodge programs are necessary in these cases to provide:
Masonic education, training in Ritual proficiency, development
of management and leadership capabilities among the officers."
He also pointed out that the "influence of Masonry on the
community and on the social life of Japanese is largely dependent
upon the activity of our members, individually and as a group.
Not only must we develop ourselves to exemplify the best traditions
of our Craft but, in addition, to consider the effect of our actions
in the light of Japanese culture."
An intensive effort has been started to revise the Japanese
version of the Ritual of the entire Three Degrees. The First Degree
is nearing completion and immediately thereafter, work will start
in revising the Second and Third Degrees.

In our Review for 1975 we reported that the Grand Lodge
had initiated a programme to erect bronze markers on the graves
FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 23
of Past Grand Masters. During the year 17 were erected. The
dedication of grave markers and other occasions, required the
Grand Lodge to meet in 23 Special Communications. The number
would have been higher had not more than one Past Grand Master
been buried in the same cemetery. Six Communications met to
lay cornerstones, including those for a church and a library.
One occasion of special interest was the dedicating of a monu-
ment and plaque in River Front Park. Leavenworth, honouring
Capt. Meriwether Lewis, Capt. William Clark and M.W. Bro.
Richard R. Rees of the historic Lewis and Clark expedition.
Lewis and Clark were members of St. Louis Lodge No. Ill and
Rees, first Grand Master of Kansas, a member of Independence
Lodge No. 76.
The Kansas Masonic Foundation, Inc., completed ten years
of steady progress. Masons have always been known for their
concern for their members and their families. The Foundation
was established to aid any who are in need regardless of colour,
race, sex or religious belief. The Secretary-Treasurer reported
in part:
"It is true that the greatest if not all support which has
come to the Foundation in it's ten year growth has come from
members of the Masonic Fraternity, and perhaps members of
Masonic families have benefited most from our operations. How-
ever th"it may be, the reason for it is that the Foundation is not
so well known among those outside the Masonic family. We
consider every application for help or assistance on its need and
its merits. . .
"Our Foundation is making solid progress, ever keeping in
mind that the fundamental purpose is to be of aid to those who
need it most whether it be aid in securing an education, medical
assistance in the field of oncology (cancer) or some form of
encouragement in meeting the problems of life.
"Greatest emphasis during the past year has been the support
of the Mid-America Cancer Center located at the Kansas Uni-
versity Medical Center in Kansas City. Kansas. Patients in in-
creasing numbers there are being benefited through the latest
proven methods of treating the dread disease."

During recent years the Grand Lodge programme has been
devoted to education, not sent the Masons of Kentucky but taken
to them by the Grand Lodge Officers at twenty educational meet-
ings in different parts of the State. Attendance has improved
each year.
The Grand Lodge lost M.W. Bro. O. R. Ware (1913-14).
At the time of his death he vi'as the Senior Past Grand Master
in the United States. Sixty years a Past Grand Master is an ex-
tremely rare honour. A lawyer by profession, M.W. Bro. Ware
served in the U.S. House of Representatives, 1927-29. He was 92
when he died.
The Grand Master appointed a committee to update and
revise the Constitution. "The Constitution has been amended
with so many recommendations" that if readers are not careful
they may come to the opinion that it contradicts itself.
In 1929, a P.G.M., M.W. Bro. J. H. Cowles, created the
Cowles Benevolent Fund by giving the Grand Lodge $10,000.00.
The account now stands at $211,487.00.

Once again the Grand Secretary has produced a clear and
well printed volume of 612 pages. The net loss of 234 is negligible
in a membership of 47,392. The Proceedings include a table which
shows the Membership and Work of Lodges for Past Fifty Years.
The peak of total membership was 51,512 in 1964. The present
figure is comparable with that of 1954.
In speaking on the State of the Order, the Grand Master said :
"In comparing conditions of Freemasonry in Louisiana
with other Grand Jurisdictions, I am very happy to report they are
very good. In comparing conditions within our own Jurisdiction,
I am delighted to report, that they are the best I have seen in
many, many years. This is a fine tribute to all Masons. We have
had great cooperation from all Masons and related bodies of
Masonry. Our State is moving forward. One reason 1 guess, is
that those who are charged with leadership of our Lodges, District
Lodges and with help of our District Deputy Grand Masters, in
thinking in a positive manner, can best summed up as a big factor
in helping bring about a good understanding in our State.

"It is better for each of us to serve the fraternity than try
to have the fraternity try and serve us."
The Executive Committee of the Grand Lodge Hall Board
again reported a nominal profit. Two years before they were
gravely concerned over finances. Mounting expenses in labour,
materials and energy were partially controlled through economic
measures aimed at getting the most out of every dollar spent.

Last year this Reviewer devoted almost all his remarks,
regarding the Grand Lodge of Maine, to the thirty years which
M.W. Bro. Ralph J. Pollard (P.G.M.) had spent in writing
the Reviews for that Jurisdiction. The appreciation was timely
as M.W. Bro. Pollard died on June 30, 1975. M.W. Bro. Aubrey
L. Burbank (P.G.M.) has taken over the responsibility. He opened
with a fine tribute to his predecessor and showed that the task is
in good hands.
The Grand Lodge operated two tours. One to Italy involved
a week in Rome followed by a week travelling through Italy and
southern Switzerland. The second was an eight-day tour to
Hawaii. The quota was filled in two weeks, made up entirely by
tourists from Maine.
Following custom, the Grand Lodge held two Schools of
Instruction. Only one officer was missing from the Bangor session
and all were present at Auburn. Both meetings were successful.
The Grand Lodge dedicated five Masonic Temples. Three
were new constructions, one was remodelled from a church and
the fifth had been the home of the I.O.O.F. The Grand Master
concluded that these added five really fine temples to the list
of those being built or remodelled. He did add. however,
that there still are many more lodges in need of new halls. Some
of the present buildings are unsafe, hard to heat, and inconvenient
for the older members to ascend. He did believe however, that
the new halls encouraged others to become interested in building
for themselves.

As part of its centennial celebration the Grand Lodge pre-
pared two plaques. One erected at the corner of Donald Street
and EUice Avenue, Winnipeg, stated: "On this site in 1895 was
built the first Masonic Temple, in use until 1969." From 1875
to 1894 the Masonic brethren held their meetings at or near the
corner of Portage Avenue and Main Street at one time or
another in eleven different buildings. A fire in 1894 destroyed the
then meeting place with all lodge records. Five lodges, with a
total membership of only 608, had the foresight and faith to
erect a building which served for three quarters of a century. The
second plaque, placed on Seven Oaks house, marked the birthplace
of William Inkster, born there in 1836. the first Junior Warden in
a lodge in Manitoba and one of the founders of the first lodge
in the Province.
In his address, the Grand Master stated that "Appropriate
papers were processed and filed in Ottawa to form our foundation
to receive monies from the Brethren of Manitoba for their chosen
charitable projects. When this foundation begins to operate fully
we will receive receipts for charitable donations which will allow
us Income Tax deductions."

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

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

One of the most perplexing problems which confronted the
Grand Master was the dispensing of alcoholic beverages in some
of the Masonic Temples. On many occasions, particularly ladies
nights and other social events, lodges have forsaken their Masonic
homes to go to establishments where alcoholic beverages were
available. In other cases, rules against the use of alcoholic bever-
ages were violated. After laying down strict safeguards, the Grand
Master ruled that:
"The temperate use and dispensing of alcoholic beverages
during exclusively social functions, fellowship and banquet periods,
always in the confines of the social rooms, banquet room.s or
dining halls, and always under the control of responsible persons,
is not prohibited . . . Whether such use is allowed or prohibited,
is for the local Masonic body and the Building or Temple Associ-
ation, as the case may be, to determine."

"All the Lodges in the District have worked regularly during

"Toltec Lodge No. 1 : — This Lodge is again returning to its
old activity and splendor. They had several candidates and per-
formed good degree work.
"Anahuac Lodge No. 3: — As usual, their meetings have
been most interesting and their degree work of the highest quality.
The W. Master and Officers are very proficient and should be

The Fraternal Relations Committee offered some sound
general opinions, before presenting their report proper, which
bear repeating.
"We as Freemasons cannot assume for one moment that our
fraternity can escape the extremely high rate of tension presently
permeating world society, because after all Masonic membership
is also represented among active citizens in every strata of society
and its affairs. As a matter of fact we can only express a hope and
a wish, that by placing the Craft's faith in the willingness and
ability of the administrators of the affairs of Freemasonry that we
as brethren can sit down together and resolve such differences of
opinion as may be thrust upon us by the society in which we live.
"Fraternal Relationships in Foreign Affairs can best be
practiced by keeping the above declaration in proper perspective at
all times. Freemasonry caters to the affairs of mankind regardless
of race, religious creed or national origin, nor is there anything
in our Constitution which would exclude anyone, provided he
exhibits a firm belief in the Supreme Being.
"There never has been a disqualification, because of race or
color, for Masonic membership . . . Moreover Grand Lodge
claims no right to direct its constituent lodges as to whom they
may or may not admit to membership. This is the sole responsi-
bility of each individual lodge and this responsibility must be
discharged in the true spirit of Brotherhood."
The Grand Lodge approved a resolution to set up a com-
mittee to investigate tiie facilities at the Masonic Home at Alma,
Michigan, with a view to setting up a "proper Library or Museum,
where Masonic Literature and other Masonic materials can be
displayed." The Grand Lodge does not now have such a facility.

The Grand Master stated that efforts to revitalize Masonry
in Minnesota are showing favourable results. A careful study of
30 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA
membership statistics shows that begimiing in 1973, the differential
between the total gains per Lodge and the total losses per Lodge
steadily decreased. Each year since 1972, the average number of
raisings per Lodge has increased over the preceding year, while
the average number of deaths per Lodge has decreased slightly. If
this trend continues at its present rate, a net gain in membership
should show some time between 1978 and 1980.
He also commended the Brethren for their participation in
Masonic workshops, schools of instruction, leadership training
schools, bicentennial activities and table lodges.
The Grand Master gave a lengthy account of a meeting
he and several Grand Lodge Officers had with representatives of
the Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Minnesota. The meeting requested
by The Honorable Milton Henry, Grand Master of the Prince
Hall body, aimed to explore the possibility of recognition of
that organization, was felt to be worthwhile. All agreed that it
represented the "first step in a journey of a thousand miles."

The Grand Secretary, Bro. T. K. Griffis, presented his first
report and it was notable as it showed a membership gain of six.
A glance back through these Reviews reveals the last gain as 93 in
1963. The list of Emergent Communications also reveals a great
deal of activity. The Grand Lodge met to constitute one lodge,
dedicate four and lay the cornerstone of one. In two cases the
dedication was accompanied by the laying of a cornerstone.
The Grand Lodge does not use any titles such as one finds
in other jurisdictions. Thus the Grand Lecturer, Grand Master
in 1953, is called Bro. Watt Carter. He reported on a year of
marked progress. He attributed the renewed interest to the interest,
participation and leadership of young members. He added:
"Another factor contributing to the upsurge in Masonic
interest is the building of new temples. The erection of new
Lodge buildings and improvements in the older ones have been
rather fantastic in recent years. Interest begets progress and pro-
gress begets interest."

The Grand Master's Address was a model of direct speech.
He admitted that he had feared that the loss in membership
would be greater than it was when he learned that less than
half of the lodge secretaries had availed themselves of the copies
of letters which he had prepared for sending to members who were
about to lose their membership for N.P.D. But the Grand Secretary
sent out over 700 copies to the Secretaries of the constituent
lodges who did use it. He continued "I have been encouraged
and buoyed up throughout the year by the number of young men
who have sought and gained admission into Freemasonry. Many
of these younger Master Masons are serving as officers in their
lodges .... Freemasonry in Montana is in good hands and will
be preserved for future generations of Montanaans to enjoy."
During the years 1975 and 1976 the Grand Lodges in the
United States celebrated the Bicentennial of the United States in
various ways. This Reviewer has not included descriptions of the
many events as they would have added greatly to the length of
these Reviews. The list of Dispensations records one type of
celebration.
'"Apr. 25, 1975 — To Missoula Lodge No. 13, together
with Harmony Lodge No. 49 and Sentinel Lodge No. 155,
to form in procession, officers wearing jewels and aprons, and
participate in a public parade on May 3, 1975, in observance of
the Bicentennial of the United States of America. This was a
Masonic event: the three lodges paraded to a new public park
and planted three trees to commemorate the Bicentennial."
One item in the Grand Master's list of appreciations which
speaks for itself must be included here.
"Our special thanks and appreciation go to the Knights of
Columbus Anaconda Council No. 882 for their offer of the use
of their facilities to the Masonic bodies of Anaconda, following
the explosion in the Masonic Temple of Acacia Lodge No. 33.
In reply to our letter of thanks to them we received a letter
reading in part as follows: 'It is gratifying to note your appreciation
of our efforts to work in harmony with your organization in their
time of duress, which I believe shows the true spirit of Fraternal-
ism, because after all, both organizations strive to obtain the
same objective, i.e., an undying devotion to God and Country
and a deep respect for the rights of our fellow-man.' '"

The Nevada Research Lodge No. 1 acted as hosts for a tri-
state meeting in Las Vegas. Research lodges from Arizona,
southern California and Nevada took part. Papers and discussions
covered many subjects. Out of the gathering came the idea of
developing a research project to discover all the schools in the
State named after Masons, of which there are many.
The Policy, Education and Affairs Committee is a hard
working body. Although they met only twice during the year they
covered an agenda which dealt with 39 items. Among the subjects
discussed were: to set a minimum of at least $100 as an initiation
fee and a minimum of annual dues at $12 or $15, "When does
Grand Lodge become involved with a lodge evidencing financial
or management problems?" Should the Grand Lodge review
papers prepared by a Research Lodge for publication? One item
which was dealt with finally was the decision to recommend to
the Records Committee to continue microfilming Grand Lodge
Proceedings plus items listed as being contained in cornerstones,
as far as they are available.
The Committee also discussed "A district deputy plan" but
agreed to leave the matter to the incoming Grand Master. The
Proceedings do not list any District Deputy Grand Masters. How-
ever, the slate of officers does list five W. Grand Trustees.

The Ritual Committee held five district meetings dxiring the
year at each of which members were in attendance to answer
questions and assist in improving the Work. The Committee added:
"Since 1970 present Ritual work in the Entered Apprentice
degree has been under consideration with a view to making it
more impressive and interesting both to the Candidate and to the
FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 33
Brethren attending, and this has again been given some thought
by your Committee and the Board of General Purposes. This is a
very lovely degree and one that is most difficult to find room for
improvement in, but some further discussion is expected in the
coming year and this Committee would be most grateful for any
and all suggestions that might assist in this regard."
In view of the statement of the Committee one may wonder
what suggestions may be advanced. When subjects like this have
come up in other Jurisdictions the conclusion has been almost
without fail, in the experience of this Reviewer, leave a good
thing alone. Tinkering is likely to be damaging.
The Committee also said:
"Further thought and study has been given to the advisability
of adopting a form of ceremony for Public or Semi-Public Installa-
tion of Officers in Subordinate Lodges in this Grand Jurisdiction
and at a meeting of the Board of General Purposes held on Jan-
uary 10, 1976 the following motion was presented and adopted:
'That Craft Lodges be permitted Semi-Public or Public Installations
provided they be conducted by the Grand Master, or a Past
Grand Master delegated by the Grand Master, on a one year
trial basis.' Your Committee concurs with this resolution
and would recommend that it receive the approval of this Grand
Lodge."
Since the report was received and adopted by the Grand
Lodge one can assume that the proposals will be tried.
The Junior Grand Warden provided an interesting note on the
relations between the Grand Lodges of New Brunswick and Prince
Edward Island.
"Our sister and adjacent jurisdiction, the Grand Lodge of
Prince Edward Island, F. & A.M. celebrated their Centennial An-
niversary covering a period of one week at various points through-
out the Province, culminating with the convocation of the Grand
Lodge being held at the Charlottetown Hotel in that City on
Friday and Saturday, June 28 and 29, 1975.
"The event is of particular historical interest to the Masonic
Fraternity of New Brunswick inasmuch as the Grand Lodge of
New Brunswick constituted and installed the first Grand Lodge
Officers of Prince Edward Island. This custom has been followed
out and continued without interruption for the past 100 years. It is
interesting to note that first installation in 1875 was made by the
then M.W. Grand Master J. V. Ellis and that 50 years afterward
in 1925 at the celebration of their fifty years the installation
was made by his son Most Wor. Grand Master George D. Ellis.
"The convocation was largely attended with over 300 delegates
from various Provinces of Canada, the U.S.A. and Costa Rica."

Once again, only one lodge was not represented at the Semi-
annual Communication and none failed to have representation
at the Annual Communication.
The Grand Lodge acted as host for the 20th Annual North-
east Conference on Masonic Education and Libraries. The Con-
ference, one of the outstanding Masonic educational conferences
held in the United States, embraces the Jurisdictions of Maine,
New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connec-
ticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland,
Virginia and the District of Columbia.
The Committee on Restoration of William Pitt Tavern, in
Portsmouth, looked into the progress of the restoration. In 1971
these Reviews reported on the project. The Grand Lodge of New
Hampshire was born in the building on July 8, 1789. The original
plan undertaken by the Grand Lodge was to restore the lodge
room area, the third floor of the building. But this cannot be
done until the lower levels are restored. The structure is of histor-
ical significance not only to Masons but to the State and the
Nation. This is the original building, not a restoration. Some of
those entertained in this 18th century tavern were George
Washington, General Lafayette and John Hancock. The Grand
Lodge has already set aside $23,000.00 towards the restoration.

The New Mexico Freemason, now in its 41st year, goes
monthly to nearly 14,000 individuals including Entered Apprentices
and numerous interested widows.
The Grand Lodge has an active Public Schools Committee
as well as similar committees in the constituent lodges. Desirable
as the aims of these committees may be such activities would not
be countenanced in our Jurisdiction as M.W. Bro. W. J. Dunlop
pointed out in these Reviews for 1961.
Plans for the celebration of the 100th Anniversary of
Masonry in New Mexico are well organized. They include a
banquet and church service. The Committee is publishing a
volume, already written, of the History of New Mexico Free-
masonry through 100 years. The Grand Lodge has budgeted
$10,000 for a concise history, drawn from the available 500
page manuscript.

' Although only indirectly related to the Grand Lodge of
New Zealand, the Proceedings include a concise but informative
history of the Grand Lodge of Finland. Since the information was
new to this Reviewer it may also not be without interest to
readers of these Reviews.
"The Grand Lodge of Finland has requested the establishment
of regular fraternal relations. This Grand Lodge was formed in
1924 under the sponsorship of the Grand Lodge of New York.
It has a strength of 72 Lodges and 2900 members. The Masonic
history of Finland stems from that of Sweden and Lodges have
existed there since 1756. Modern Freemasonry began in Finland
when in 1922 a group of Finnish Brethren presented a Petition
to the Grand Lodge of New York for a Lodge to be Chartered in
Helsinki under the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of New York.
The Petition was granted and the Lodge was warranted and
constituted on 18 August 1922. The Lodge grew in strength and
i6 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA
daughter Lodges were established and in 1924 three Lodges
petitioned the Grand Lodge of New York to constitute them into
a Sovereign Grand Lodge of Finland and this was granted. The
Grand Lodge of Finland has been accorded fraternal recognition
by most regular Grand Lodges including those of England, Ireland
and Scotland and all American, Australian (except Tasmania) and
Canadian Grand Lodges. By oversight no previous request has
been submitted to the Grand Lodge of New Zealand until last year.
The Board will recommend that recognition be accorded."
The Grand Lodge of New Zealand accorded the recognition
requested.
Proceedings, by their very nature, usually contain few refer-
ences to ritual. One interesting matter which arose during the
year related to the opening of the V.S.L. The Board of General
Purposes described the problem.
"The instruction contained in the standard Ritual of the Three
Degrees provides that when opening the V.S.L. in the First Degree,
it shall be opened at either Ruth II or Psalm CXXXIII. Over a
long period of time Lodges have found that the pages of the
V.S.L. at these two places have become soiled, torn and loose.
The Board considers that there are several alternative portions of
the V.S.L. at which it could be opened which would enable Lodges
to spread the wear considerably at their discretion, and the Board
will recommend the adoption of a wider list of alternatives to
achieve this end."
It was moved that the Standard N. Z. Ritual be amended by
altering the rubric following the Opening of the Lodge in the
first degree to permit no fewer that 33 options, involving all
Degrees. Although of interest, the references are too numerous
to list here. Two, however, from the writings of St. Paul were
deleted by amendment. The motion carried as amended.
A ruling of the Grand Lodge prohibits the raising of funds
from lotteries. Many districts support the activities of District
Masonic Trusts by promoting gala days, fair days and sporting
tournaments. The Grand Lodge has received numerous requests
to remove the complete prohibition on lotteries and to substitute a
qualified approval. The Board concurred and recommended an
amendment to place the control in the hands of the Provincial
Grand Masters. After some adverse comments, the motion carried.
A proposal to add a lengthy lecture (given in full in the Pro-
ceedings and much too long to be included here) to the ritual of
the Second Degree which involved an extended explanation of the
Seven Liberal Arts and Sciences was defeated.

Thanks to the early arrival of the Proceedings for 1976, we
have a really up-to-date record of the Masonic activities in New
Zealand.
The first item of business at the Annual Communication, after
the confirmation of the minutes, was the election of a new Grand
Master, M.W. Bro. A. E. Shuttleworth having completed his three
year term. M.W. Bro. Donaldson was the unanimous choice.
The Board of General Purposes proposed an amendment to
the Constitution to allow the use of the Square and Compasses
above funeral notices and other Masonic "notifications" but
otherwise prohibited its use for commercial publications. The
Board considered the rule as it stood to be too restrictive and
thought that the new rule would make notices more distinguish-
able to Brethren and would disclose nothing to the public with
which they were not already familiar.
A representative of every Lodge in the Jurisdiction was
present at the Installation of the Grand Master-Elect as well as
many distinguished representatives of the sister Australian Grand
Lodges. The Grand Master took the opportunity to suggest several
ways and means to strengthen and extend Masonry in New Zea-
land. He pointed out the responsibilities which a lodge owes to
the candidate and reminded his hearers that they do not end
until the candidate has been thoroughly integrated with the Lodge
and its customs and is perfectly at home with all members. He
thought that a new Brother should be encouraged to attend re-
hearsals where the atmosphere is less formal than it is at regular
meetings.
He concluded: "Freemasonry in this country is in good heart,
and it is encouraging to know that candidates are coming forward
regularly. Therefore it is for us to make sure that happy state of
affairs continues."

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

Lodges, in. Membership, 10,000. Loss. 171.
With such a round figure for the membership total it seems
a pity that the largest Lodge in North Dakota. Shiloh No. 1,
should have a membership of 601 and not a round 600. However,
Century Lodge No. 60 has a membership of 100. So much for
coincidence.
The loss of 171 in the total membership is considerably lower
than the corresponding figure for some years. Last year we
reported that a total of 200 candidates raised had not been matched
nor surpassed since 1967. This year the figure rose to 213.
The Grand Master recorded 64 visitations. These included the
Grand Lodges of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta. He also
attended the Banff Conference; 75th Anniversary, Alameda, Sask.;
and a lodge meeting in Brandon.
The Report on the Condition of Freemasonry showed that
the Masons of North Dakota "are a travelling lot." No less than
84 percent of the 74 lodges which replied to a questionnaire report-
ed that they had "visited another Lodge either as a Lodge function
or as individual members."
According to the biography of the Grand Master. M.W. Bro.
R. K. Muhs, Sr.. "His term as Grand Master was highlighted by
the Masonic Memorial auditorium Project in the Peace Garden."
The ground dedication ceremony was held on the site in 1976.
No further details were included.

The Deputy Grand Master also had a busy year. In addition
to his many Masonic duties he visited hospitals, shut-ins. Masonic

Only five lodges were not represented at the Annual Com-

The Library Committee expressed regret that more Masonic
students do not make use of the reference library, located in
Worthington. "It is unquestionably one of the finest Masonic
libraries to be formed anywhere."
The Public Relations Committee suggested that the Grand
Lodge construct a Masonic lodge over the old general store in
a historic village reconstructed by the Ohio Historical Society near

The Grand Lodge laid five cornerstones for lodge buildings

impressed by the clear evidence of activity in the constituent lodges.
The Grand Master attended the 100th Anniversary of the
laying of the cornerstone of the "Old Union Agency Building"
at Muskogee which now houses the Five Civilized Tribes Museum.
This was the first cornerstone laid by the Grand Lodge of Indian
Territory, the ancestor of the present Grand Lodge of Oklahoma.
On that occasion, the record states. Father Joseph Samuel Morrow,

and the Lodge is now established in the Temple of Champoeg
Lodge No. 27, in Canby, Oregon. Of the 381 members, scattered
all over the world, 224 chose to retain their membership.
The Grand Lecturer presented a brief and thought provoking
report. Two paragraphs stood out.
"The ritual is the life of Masonry, and all of the beautiful,
character building lessons of our Fraternity are contained therein.
The ritual is grammatically correct in every detail; modern; con-
cise and unmistakably clear, so it should be the ambition and goal
of every officer and of every member to be proficient in the
FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 41
esoteric work of the three degrees: Perfection in the use of the
ritual requires constant and thoughtful study to the end that
our candidates and members may be favorably impressed with the
teachings and aims of Freemasonry.
"I have always noticed that Lodges that do the best work
always have good attendance. It seems that the brethren do come
to meetings to learn and if they know that they will see a poorly
conferred degree or a poor opening ceremony, they may wonder
if it is worth while to attend."

The active Committee on Masonic Temples, Halls and Lodge
Rooms, reported: "We have had a very busy year as many of
our Symbolic Lodges were engaged in upgrading their facilities
by acquiring land and erecting new buildings or converting old
structures for Masonic purposes." The details are impressive.
Nine lodges have completed or are completing new buildings;
three have bought and are altering church buildings to suit their
purposes; two others have bought non-church buildings, one of
which was an American Veterans' Home; seven have bought plots
on which to build. Pocono Lodge No. 780, Swiftwater, bought ten
acres. The Lodge has a membership of 222, an increase of one
during the year.
No doubt some time in the future a student of Masonic
history will write an article on the recycling of church structures
as Masonic buildings. One finds the activity in many Jurisdictions.
The retiring Grand Master reported that the programme to
renovate and refurbish the Masonic Temple in Philadelphia had
continued. "It is acclaimed by many to be the most beautiful
edifice of its kind in the world."

During his term of office the Grand Master visited every
Lodge in the Jurisdiction, supported by many Grand Lodge
Officers on every occasion. He and his wife, as representatives of
the Grand Lodge attended the celebrations of the Knights of
Columbus at their Columbus Day banquet and a few days later
attended Mass "at St. Pius IX Church in Parkdale followed by
installation of 'fourth degree' Knights." They also attended a
lobster supper and dance in Souris that culminated "the State
Council Annual State Convention." Their hosts were most gracious
on every occasion.
Each year the Grand Lodge awards four bursaries of
$250.00 to Masons, their wives, sons or daughters. These awards
are based on academic achievement and demonstrated financial
need. Thirteen applications were received. Two Masons, a son and
a daughter received bursaries.
The Grand Historian presented an interesting report. He spoke
of the problems of communication and transportation during the
early days of the Craft in Prince Edward Island. In 1876, the
Grand Master missed the Annual Communication, held in Feb-
ruary, as a severe snow storm cancelled train service. The first
word of the formation of the United Grand Lodge of England
by the "Modern" and "Ancient" Grand Lodges in 1813 was not
recorded in a lodge in Prince Edward Island until August, 1818.
St. John's Lodge No. 1, Charlottetown, was established in 1797.
The Lodge Minutes, held in Nova Scotia, are a veritable history
of Freemasonry in the Province as the next Lodge. Victoria Lodge
No. 2, Charlottetown was not chartered until 1857.

The Grand Master reported:
"With the cooperation of Father Irenee Beaubien, s.j. and
the assistance of V.W. Bro. J. G. Leboeuf, a Roman C.:tholic
mass for Masons was held in the Chapel of Le Convent Jesus
Maria, at which a large number of Brethren of all denominations
participated. All present agreed that an event such as this could
only serve to bind men of all creeds closer and promote harmony."
As the world is large and Freemasonry widespread, one
must hesitate to call this event unique. Nevertheless, it certainly
was notable.
FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 43
The Grand Master has also planned to form a committee
without delay to formulate the arrangements for an Ecumenical
Divine Service to be held in the Spring of 1977. Here again, it is
hoped that greater numbers will make every effort to participate
in future services of this nature.
While visiting during the year the Grand Master laid special
emphasis on the following themes:
To determine the reason for non attendance;
To give aid and comfort to the distressed;
To endeavour to supply their wants and necessities;
To give support to the widows and orphans
To assist the aged and infirm;
To recognize our ladies for their support given each of us.
He concluded:
"Brethren, Masonry is not confined to Lodge Meetings and
Ritual only. We must strenuously practice the principles and tenets
laid down by our Ancient Brethren to the best of those abilities
granted us by the Supreme Being, thereby bringing satisfaction
to ourselves and honour to the Craft."
The South Shore Forum and Le Club d'Etude Macconique
continue with their efforts in providing programmes of Masonic
education for those who are endeavouring to further their Masonic
knowledge.

The Grand Master attended a unique ceremony in his own
lodge. In Charlesville. in November. 1925, four Brothers
Armstrong were initiated in the presence and with the assistance
of their father V.W. Bro. John Armstrong, the second initiate of
that Lodge in December, 1890. Three — V.W. Bro. Tom and Bros.
Bob and Barney Armstrong — lived to be invested with their Fifty-
Year Service Jewels on the 22nd November, 1975 in their Mother
Lodge by the Grand Master whose Mother Lodge is also
Charlesville.
The Board of General Purposes reported at the Quarterly
Communication that a booklet "What is Freemasonry" has been
readily accepted by all and over 11,500 copies have been circulated
to Lodges and Brethren. For a considerable time the Board has
44 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA
watched with growing concern the depletion of its numbers and the
fact that Candidates were not available in sufficient numbers to
replace the losses.
The Board explained: "This booklet is aimed at bridging the
knowledge gap which we all seem to be concerned about — just
what we can do or tell a suitable person who might be interested
in Freemasonry. There is nothing in the booklet that cannot be
read by anyone. In fact we suggest that if you consider a friend
would become a good freemason, there is no reason why he or
his wife should not read the booklet and ask questions concerning
the Craft. Read the booklet yourself and do not be afraid to give
a copy to any person you consider worthy and who evinces interest
in the Craft."
The Board dealt with a matter which has been discussed for
some time. "There has been a continuous interest in Brethren
wearing name badges and the Board has now granted permission
for badges to be worn at Festive Board only. The Board is of
opinion that badges should be of uniform design and its presently
considering this matter. It is believed that if the Board obtains
the name badges and sells them to the Lodge that Lodges would
benefit in the cost of each badge. As soon as this matter is
resolved, a circular will be forwarded to all Lodges giving details
and costs."
The Grand Master described a new development in public
relations in Western Australia.
"In October last in Perth, our Brethren decided to invite the
T.V. Stations to take pictures inside the Grand Temple (tempor-
arily located in the Perth Concert Hall, a very beautiful auditor-
ium). When all the delegations had entered, and taken up their
positions, we all stood up. Cameramen from two of the Stations
played on the Brethren and the Hall for several minutes and then
withdrew. The previous afternoon, at the Lord Mayor's Reception,
I had been volunteered by the Grand Master, M.W. Bro. John
Murdoch, to be interviewed. For approximately five minutes, I
answered and I trust satisfactorilv. questions concerning our
Order."

The Bicentennial Committee produced a 104 page book
entitled "A Bicentennial Review of Rhode Island Freemasonry."
A copy went to every member in the Jurisdiction.
The Grand Master believes that one of the problems faced
in Rhode Island is lack of communication. He held discussions
during the year with members of concordant bodies and thinks
that it will be feasible to put out a statewide newsletter for all
bodies.

Since there are 182 Lodges in the Jurisdiction, which covers
a vast area, the Grand Master realized that he could not visit them
all. At the same time he thought that many should be visited. He
therefore chose one third, or 60, and asked specific Lodges to
invite two or more neighbouring Lodges to meet with them.
In this way he was able to centre on the 61 which have major
problems and to visit with others. He probably met with half the
resident members of the Jurisdiction.
The Grand Master made many sound observations, based on
the experiences of his year in office. Two paragraphs, of several,
gave a good example of his thoughts.
"There are many things that might be of concern to a Grand
Master, however, I singled out four that I undertook to adjust
during my year. I endeavoured to reduce the number of demits
issued to members who had no intention of affiliating immediately
with another Lodge: reduce the number of suspensions for non-
payment of dues; provide some instruction and leadership to the
senior lodge officers and to provide a clearer understanding to the
membership, their families, their friends, and the people of the
community of what Freemasonry was all about and to identify
some of the work the fraternity attempts to do for all concerned.
I believe some gain has been made in all four areaS through direct
contact by myself and through the work of the D. D.G.Ms.
"It is of great concern to me that we have forgotten one of our
basic principles — Charity. Our Benevolent Fund is there for a
purpose and so is the Benefit Fund. It seems to me we as Masons
are not attending to the needs of our members, their families and
in some cases our friends who need our assistance. Most people
today are busy and have few needs that they cannot meet in this
affluent society while the less fortunate are overlooked and indeed
46 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA
forgotten. We must take time to care and think about these lesb
fortunate who have pride and will not seek our help. The Worship-
ful Master and his senior officers must be ever mindful of this
responsibihty and diplomatically ensure that all such cases receive
their attention. The Worshipful Master is charged with many more
responsibilities than merely conducting his business and emergent
meetings."

The Grand Master Mason, replying to the toast to the Grand
Lodge at the Annual Communication, said that during the year
the only place abroad which he had visited Masonically was
France. He confined his travels to Scotland and had at last manag-
ed to visit the most northerly Lodge in the Constitution. Lodge
Aurora No. 1654, Unst, Shetland. Lodge Aurora is situated on an
island with a population of only 1,000 people, which means that
every Freemason is known and all their actions are closely watched.
They must endeavour to make themselves worthy of their high
tradition.
"What has really delighted me in Scotland as a whole," the
Most Worshipful Grand Master Mason commented, "has been the
immense involvement of the Brethren in different aspects of the
lives of the communities. I was in a Lodge in the Mull of Kintyre
seven days ago. They had already contributed very large sums of
money to the war disabled hospital at Erskine, and they made a
very generous donation to Grand Lodge funds. Other Lodges all
over Scotland are doing the most interesting and original things
in the way of the betterment of the unfortunate members of the
local community — not the Brethren of the community, but the
unfortunate members of the community — and that is what my
predecessor. Brother David Liddell-Grainger. and I have been
stressing to you all along, that it is by involvement in the communi-
ties in which we live that we as Freemasons can make our greatest
impact. We can make the world at large see that Masonry stands
for something that is good not only by practising its principles
inside the Lodge but outside in the community. That, Brethren,
is to my mind the important thing, and now that it is happening,
what a great future we have."

At seven of the eleven Special Communications called, the
Grand Lodge dedicated three lodges, dedicated and laid corner-
stones at two more and laid two cornerstones for two new temples.
Cornerstones, by their nature, must be laid in public. Masons in
our Jurisdiction, however, may be surprised to learn that the
dedications of lodges in South Carolina are also public. The
typical account of these events runs along the following lines:
"The Grand Lodge was called from labor to refreshment
and under the direction of the Acting Grand Marshal, the Grand
Lodge Officers entered the Hall, assumed their station and
places, and then proceeded with the dedicatory ceremony in
accordance with ancient Masonic usage.
"The Grand Master introduced the Grand Lodge Officers
and several of them spoke briefly congratulating the Brethren of
the Lodges upon their accomplishment in the erection of their
new Masonic Temple.
48 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA
"The Worshipful Masters of Shibboleth, Equality, and Pro-
gress Lodges were introduced. An announcement was made that
the banquet would be held in the dining room of the Shrine Club
which was next door to the Lodge Hall and that all were invited
to attend.
"The ladies and non-Masons were then excused from the
Hall after which the Grand Lodge was called from refreshment
to labor and closed in ample form."
The Grand Master spoke on the subject of outdoor meetings
for which there are more and more requests. The forerunner was
the Rock Quarry Meeting held annually "in Wing's Quarry near
Traveler's Rest." It was first planned 35 years ago. The movement
is growing. As the Grand Master said:
"This year I had the pleasure of attending several other open
air meetings which I am sure will rapidly grow in popularity and
tradition. The Inspirational Meeting for the TTiird Masonic
District is held in the Indian Field Camp Ground near St. George.
Last year was the third year this particular location has been
used and is one all South Carolina Masons should visit. The
Camp Ground possesses an impressive historical background
which is associated with the religious growth in the St. George
community and is a place heaped with inspiration.
"Other open air meetings which seem to be growing in
popularity are: Ferguson Mountain near York, and the 'Cow
Pasture' which is located near Hickory Tavern. These unusual
meetings attract masons in large numbers and the fellowship
and food are really great."

The dominant theme at the 28 District meetings and at
many other Masonic gatherings during the year was "A Time
for Rededication." The emphasis related the Masonic heritage
to the establishment and development of the United States. All
but three District Meetings were open to Masons and non-Masons
alike including ladies and young people. This type of public
meeting has been used for several years and has been deemed
effective.
FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 49
The Grand Master approved four dispensations for outdoor
meetings, provided proper precautions were taken.
Although membership declined, the loss was the lowest in
seven years. Many lodges are receiving applications for the first
time in years. Applications increased by 16 per cent. One lodge,
Rapid City No. 25 had 19 applications for the E.A. Degree at
one time. This is the second largest lodge in the Jurisdiction, with
493 members. Rapid City has two lodges, the second Mount
Rushmore No. 220 is also one of the largest with 392 members.
For the first time in some years, the Grand Lodge was invited
to lay a cornerstone of a non-Masonic Temple, the Rapid City
Boy's Club building. Rapid City must be a stronghold of Masonry.
It is the largest city in the state and in 1970 had a population
of 43,836.

At the February Half-yearly Communication, the Grand
Master spoke at length on the place of Freemasonry in the com-
munity. His views were clear and he did much to answer the dis-
satisfaction of those who claim that Freemasonry is not doing
enough.
"Freemasons work for the welfare of mankind. It is not the
business of the Craft to go out into the world as such, and to ally
itself to particular plans of social reform. Where that has been
tried by Freemasonry in some countries of Europe, Freemasonry
itself has disappeared. How then does it work for the welfare of
mankind? Let me answer the question this way, quoting the late
M.W. Bro. Judge Book, of Victoria. If we look at the history of
the past, we find that there have been schemes of every sort and
kind for the reform and betterment of mankind. Why have these
schemes not succeeded? The reason, I believe is simply this — that
there have not been enough men fine enough of soul, wide enough
of sympathy, strong enough of character, and noble enough of
nature to make those dreams come true. What we need to make
our dreams come true, our social dreams, our national dreams, our
international dreams is not so much more laws and regulations.
Some people think that perhaps we've got too many of these
already. What we need is better men with more heroic integrity.
50 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA
"Therefore, when Freemasonry, instead of allying itself to
plans of social reform, and becoming involved in dispute, devotes
all its benign energy and influence to enobling the souls and
strengthening the characters of individual men, then it is doing
fundamental work on behalf of all enterprise. By its ministry to
the individual, drawing him into the circle of a great fellowship,
exhalting his faith, refining his ideals, enlarging his sympathies
and strengthening his character, in this way Freemasonry best
serves society, the State in which we live, and the world at large.
The Craft will not attract men into its lodges if it tries to be any-
thing but Freemasonry.
"I have pondered deeply on this. I do not think for one minute
that we should compete with the Service Clubs, but there is so
much we can do in the community to portray the distinguishing
characteristic of a mason's heart. I spoke earlier of our Homes.
Many lodges are doing great work raising money to help certain
institutions, and willingly donate money at Christmas time to bring
a little happiness. A group of lodges on the North-West Coast are
trying to arrange to give underprivileged children holidays, and
all this I heartily commend. Taking elderly citizens for a drive,
and assisting the Blood Bank are worthy projects."

Lodges, 387. Membership, 97,806. Gain, 881.
Last year we reported that the gain of 550 in membership
was the largest since 1967. The 1976 gain was the largest in 15
years. For 35 years the Grand Secretary has been able to report a
net gain, the largest being 5,076 in 1946.
The Grand Lodge did a great deal of work on the Grand
Lodge Building in Nashville. The offices of the Grand Master,
Grand Secretary and Board of Control were redecorated and re-
furbished. There were 117 windows in the building which had
either been broken by vandals or had fallen out from age. These
were all replaced and all windows were "corked, painted and
cleaned."
During the year the Grand Lodge learned that the first Grand
Master of Masons in Tennessee, M.W. Bro. Thomas Claiborne,
Grand Master, 1813 and 1814, was buried in an unmarked grave in
Nashville. The Grand Lodge bought and erected an appropriate
marker.
The Grand Master expressed his appreciation of the efforts
of those who secured an amendment to the Tennessee Code to
FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 51
keep lodge properties not used for commercial purposes, tax
exempt.
The Chairman of the Bicentennial Committee gave an
address in which he reported on the Masonic backgrounds of
Andrew Jackson, Samuel Houston and the Marquis de Lafeyette.
Jackson was elected Grand Master in 1822, when Houston was
present. Lafeyette was present in 1825. The speaker also stated
that of the 14 presidents of the United States only Jackson and
Truman had been a Grand Master.
TEXAS — 1975
140th Annual Communication — December 3-4.
Grand Master, 1974-75 — M.W. Bro. R. B. O'Connor
Grand Master, 1975-76 — M.W. Bro. T. C. Yantis
Lodges, 975. Membership, 226,619. Loss, 2,183.
The Grand Secretary's report is one of the best organized in
all the Proceedings read by this Reviewer. Not only does he give
the figures for the current and previous year but he also gives
a tabulated statement for three years for purposes of comparison.
Although a loss figure of 2,183 is not small, it is not great when
considered against the total membership. It works out at 2.24
members per lodge.
The Grand Lodge dedicated no fewer than 13 new lodge
buildings. In addition the Grand Lodge also "levelled" 13 corner-
stones. The buildings involved in most cases were schools. Four
lodges, a county courthouse and county jail also were included.
The Grand Master wrote a monthly column for the Texas
Freemason. Among his subjects during the year were: Rededi-
cation. Public Schools, Masonic Leadership and America and
Masonry. A column on Past Masters showed the contribution they
can make to a lodge.
In the list of "Dispensations granted" 20 lodges were per-
mitted to move into their new Masonic Temples. Twenty-three
lodges celebrated centennials. The new, in buildings, and the old,
in lodges, are well combined in Texas.

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

Last year we remarked on the comprehensiveness of the Re-
port of Committee on Grand Master's Address. The current
Chairman explained "The traditional significance of the Report . . .
for the past ten years and more has been the unexcelled eloquence
of Past Grand Master Milton S. Czatt. His incisive observations,
evaluations and composition have been looked forward to by
the members of this Body." The new Chairman said that he would
not attempt to try to use the same mould. Nevertheless, the Com-
mittee once again presented a most comprehensive statement.
Ever since 1947, or earlier, the uses and costs of mainten-
ance and repair of the Masonic Temple have caused grave concern.
The Grand Master proposed an investigation of the building with
a view to converting the fifth floor into a lodge room and stage
to handle 500 people. A new hotel and parking garage in an
urban renewal plan prompted the proposal.
The Grand Lecturer described one activity not noticed before
by this Reviewer. For several years the D.D.G.M.s have divided
themselves into two degree teams, one in the Northern and one
in the Southern part of the State. They work in lodges to which
they have been invited. The effort appears to have been well
worthwhile.
The Grand Secretary again listed long-time Lodge Secretaries.
One has served 46 years. During the year ill-health forced a 50-
year Secretary to retire. Here must be a record.

From time to time Proceedings of various Grand Lodges
record requests from constituent lodges to erect signs on roads
leading into towns listing times and places of lodge meetings. If
memory serves correctly, such requests have usually been denied.
The following paragraph in the Report of the Board of General
Purposes, therefore, is of some interest.
"A Lodge wishing to erect a Sign on Notice Boards at the
entrances to a Town or City listing dates of meetings, are re-
quested to submit for the approval of the Grand Secretary, r
design of the proposed Sign, incorporating the symbol of the
square and compasses in the same proportions as that illustrated
in the Book of Constitutions of the Past Deputy Grand Master's
Jewel."

"Why is it that we count our blessings on our fingers and
tally our miseries on a computer?"' That was the question asked
by the Grand Master when he described some of the "troubles,
complaints and errors of the computer system" which the Grand
Lodge had inherited. The trouble arose because the data proces-
sing company involved serviced only one fraternal organization,
the Grand Lodge of Virginia and had not done the research
required when they took the contract. The Grand Master described
the solution:
"The Grand Secretary then contacted several Grand Juris-
dictions whose records are computerized. The issue of the right
company to do our work was pinpointed to a company handling
fraternal organizations exclusively. Upon excellent recommenda-
54 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA
tions from the Grand Lodge of Ohio, the Grand Lodge of Kansas,
and the Grand Lodge of Missouri, a company in St. Louis, Missouri
was asked to examine our system, rendering a proposal of their
program to accommodate our needs."
This information could prove useful to any Jurisdiction
contemplating moving into the computer field. The Grand Master
did add, however, "Like the Grand Lodge of New York whose
first efforts to computerize were a tremendous flop, I would
agree . . . that it is too soon to predict that the program will be
a success."
"I would prefer to withhold an opinion on the program until
we have gone full circle, including a roster, with the new data
processing company. Advancing technology is changing the way
many businesses and professions operate. The future is wide open.
The advantages are great. The costs, too. are great."'
The Grand Master devoted some time to comments on
public or open installation of officers. Of his 193 dispensations
issued, almost 60 involved such installations. With 345 lodges,
the total suggests that just over 17 percent hold open or public
installations.
The Committee on Art is aiming to have portraits of all
Past Grand Masters for display at the Bicentennial Anniversary
of the founding of the Grand Lodge in 1978.

In reporting on "Permissions" the Grand Master stated:
"New 1975 legislation authorizes the Grand Master to grant
permission for the wearing of Masonic aprons in public parades
and in attendance at certain public meetings such as school
awards programs. Approval was given for the several requests
of this kind. While granting permission. I reminded the Brethren
of the previous prohibition against such appearances which had
been based on fears of adverse reaction from hostile or uninformed
spectators."
During his official visit to the lodges in Alaska, the Grand
Master motored from Valdez to Dawson. Y.T., where he visited

joined M.W. Bro. T. Y. McLachlan, Grand Master of British

The Grand Master granted a petition for a new Lodge to be
known as Lodge of Recreation, which was sponsored by the
Lodge of Sportsmen No. 218, Fremantle. It was the first new
Lodge to be consecrated in Western Australia since December 13,
1969.
The Proceedings for April gave a digest of the Transactions
of the Tenth Australasian Masonic Conference. Some of the
decisions reached will require amendments in the various Grand
Lodge Constitutions. Among the topics covered were:
1. Recognition of Grand Lodge Rank, held by a brother of
another Constitution.
2. Card of Recognition.
This will be a card produced by the Grand Lodge and
called the "Grand Lodge's Introduction Card." Lodge
Secretaries will validate the card.
8. Version of V.S.L.
The Board of General Purposes of Western Australia
confirmed that the King James Version be used.
10. National Anthem.
All Grand Lodges agreed that the Queen would be
recognized when singing the National Anthem.
The Board of General Purposes has arranged for a sign of
polished "jarrah" (i.e. a piece of polished Western Australia
mahogany gum-tree) to be fitted at the Perth Air Terminal
giving the name, location and telephone number of Grand Lodge.
It has also arranged with the Fremantle Port Authority for
the name and telephone number to be recorded at the information
56 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA
desk, of the Terminal. These arrangements will greatly assist Free-
masons on tour who are desirous of visiting Lodges during their
stay in Western Australia.
The Grand Master attended seven Masonic Balls in six
months. Concerning these functions he said: "It would seem that
members of Lodges often fail to appreciate the wonderful financial
assistance that has been given to our charitable funds in the past
as a result of the efforts of those committees who have organised
such functions as the Annual Grand Masonic Ball, the Annual
South of the River Debutante Ball and of more recent origin
the Masonic Concerts."

Grand Master, 1976-77 — M.W. Bro. W. F. Hathaway
Lodges. 160 Membership, 45,196. Loss. 187.
The Grand Secretary presented his 24th annual report. Only
nine Brethren have held the office in the 112 year history of the
Grand Lodge. One jurisdiction with an even more spectacular re-
cord is our own with eight names in 121 years. Each list shares
the name Logan.
Grand Masters in their annual reports or addresses, which
are universal in all jurisdictions, tend to present the bright side.
M.W. Bro. Shannon was an exception. While a Reviewer certainly
must not criticize actions in a sister Jurisdiction he is at liberty
to comment favourably on actions which, though difficult, are
done for the good of the Order.
As the Grand Master said:
"We have been merrily passing through the years proclaiming
the good health and well-being of our beloved Fraternity. At the
same time we have been travelling on a path of self-destruction,
and will continue to do so unless we get our priorities in the right
order and do some improving in our way of thinking and doing.
I am speaking specifically of officer proficiency, responsibility and
obedience to the Laws of Masonry. We have been tolerating will-
ful disobedience of our Masonic Laws and deterioration of our
Masonic ritual for years without making one defensive move to
combat it."
The Grand Master determined to deal boldly with the
problem. He attended one installation and prohibited the install-
ation of the Master elect who was not proficient. He also issued
FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 57
three edicts removing the Masters elect because at the time of
their election and installation they were not proficient. Other
relative actions need not be described here. The Grand Master
summed up the matter: "It is the responsibility of everv Master
of every Lodge in this Grand Jurisdiction to make sure' that the
person elected to be his successor is duly and truly prepared before
permitting his installation. Failure to do so can cause the
mdividuals directly involved much mental anguish and the Lodge
great embarrassment."

In his Report the Grand Master said that he had entered his
>ear in office with two goals, supported by the Grand Lodge;
First to operate a fiscally responsible budget and secondly to
promote and foster good will and fraternal relations among the
Subordinate Lodges and to encourage greater cooperation with
appendant bodies.
He achieved his first aim and left a surplus for his successor,
the first in six years. The difficult task was made at the expense
of "The Wyoming Mason," discontinuance of the schools of
instruction and reduction of the Masonic leadership workshops
from 11 to 4 meetings.
The second aim he achieved by accepting all invitations
from lodges, except one when he had a conflict. As he said "I
believe that the Grand Master has to keep closer contact with the
Lodges and bring their ideas into the overall plan of Wyoming
Masonry."
The Centennial History of the Grand Lodge was completed
and distributed. One thousand copies were printed of which 700
were contracted for in advance. When the volume appeared
many more were sold leaving a small stock in the hands of
the Grand Secretary.
APPENDIX "B"
ADDRESS BY
BRO. THE VERY REVEREND A. LORNE MACKAY
AT THE
GRAND MASTER'S BANQUET
Held in the Canadian Room
Royal York Hotel, Toronto, Ontario
JULY 20tli, 1977
THE GRAND MASTER: I am now going to ask M.W. Bro.
W. L. Wright to introduce our guest speaker.
M.W. BRO. W. L. WRIGHT:
Most Worshipful Grand Master, Distinguished Guests and
Brethren: It has been said that Prince Edward Island and the other
Atlantic Provinces have been renowned for exporting potatoes,
preachers and University Presidents. Our Guest tonight fulfills
that assertion for although he was born in Prince Edward Island,
he came West to receive his University education at the University
of Western Ontario and at the Presbyterian College in Montreal.
He is one of Canada's leading Churchmen — and has served in
Vancouver, Montreal and for the past twenty-five years in
Hamilton, thus our Honoured Guest has followed the admonition
of Horace Greeley, the great editor of The New York Tribune
in the pioneering days of North America, who inspired many
young Americans and Canadians with his cry . . .GO WEST,
YOUNG MAN — GO WEST.
This past year our speaker was honoured by his colleagues
of the Presbyterian Church in Canada by being elected Moderator,
the highest office and as in his local pastoral domain, he dis-
charged his duties with effectiveness and with dignity. He is a
respected Humanitarian and in the City of Hamilton where he
ministers at Central Church, our speaker has devoted his gifts
in numerous commendable social projects, not least The United
Way. He is Chaplain of Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of
Canada. In Masonry he was initiated in Waverley Lodge No. 82 —
Montreal and through the years has made a distinct contribution
to the order. He is a thirty-third degree Mason. At the present
time he holds the office of Provincial Grand Master of The Royal
Order of Scotland. He is the worthy recipient of the William
Mercer Wilson Medal for meritorious service.
A man of such spiritual, mental and moral scature needs no
further dilation on his many virtues. In him we salute an out-
2 APPENDIX ••£••
standing Churchman, a worthy citizen, a concerned Mason and a
personal friend. We welcome Brother The Very Reverend Allan
Lome MacKay, Bachelor of Arts, Dr. of Laws, Dr. of Divinity,
as our speaker this evening. How do you receive him — Applause.
Most Worshipful Grand Master, Officers and Members of
Grand Lodge, Distinguished Guests and Brethren all:
It is a great privilege to be invited to speak at the Grand
Master's Banquet on this 122nd Communication of the Grand
Lodge of Canada in the Province of Quebec — laughter —
alright — Province of Ontario. — Sorry Eric — As I look over
this vast sea of faces, I must say I have not had a congregation
this large in some time. And this presents me with several serious
temptations. The first of course is very obvious — I am tempted
to preach a sermon, but since all of you were in Church last
Sunday, I am sure I can relieve you of that fear. BUT an even
greater temptation as I look over this great number is to ask that
we take up the collection. — Laughter — I have to confess I
am feeling just a wee bit nervous as I've already demonstrated
rather fully. I am afraid I am going to be a very great dis-
appointment to some of you. For one thing, I have been told
on very high authority that some of you have a pool going on
how long this speech is going to last. — Laughter — That's bound
to mean I am going to disappoint some of you, quite a few of
you I guess, but on the other hand, looking on the positive side,
I'll have the satisfaction of knowing that I'll have at least one
satisfied customer at the end. I am tremendously grateful for the
most gracious introduction given to me by a very dear friend
throughout the years. He has presented me in a very charming
way and I appreciate it greatly. As I listened to him, I could
not help remembering the words of Mark Twain who in a
similar situation said — "Father would have enjoyed it —
Mother would have believed it". — Laughter — Then too, listening
to the introduction with its somewhat exaggerated description of
my talents, I am nervous as well because I fear your expectations
may have been raised too high.
A small boy whose religious education had been somewhat
neglected was sent to Camp and on Sunday, along with the other
lads, was taken to Church. As the minister entered with his flow-
ing resplendent robes and began the service this young lad turned
to a pal and said "Hey Sam, it that God?" No replied the friend
"he ain't even a Bishop yet". — Laughter — Well I ain't even
a Bishop, I'm only a Presbyterian — so don't get your hopes up
too high. I suppose you know what they say about Presbyterianism
— it doesn't keep you from doing anything — it only keeps
you from enjoying it. — Laughter — It's not really true. You
know we ministers really do have a somewhat interesting life,
one never knows what's going to happen next, but we can usually
handle things pretty well though we get a lot of help at times.
A minister friend of mine whose name is Hazlewood was out
APPENDIX "B" 3
golfing one day and as he came to the last hole, which was a
reasonably short one, he needed an eagle to win, so he put
everything he had into his swing but unfortunately he hit a
terrific slice. There was a roar of thunder as the ball sent sailing
high, wide and handsome, hit a tree, bounced off a fence,
passed swiftly through a sandtrap, onto the green and finally
rolled into the hole for an eagle. Gordon looked up at the Heavens
and said "Thank you, Lord, but I'd rather do it by myself". —
Laughter
Mind you. we don't always win. One day a man came to a
minister and said "I stole this chicken — I wonder if you would
care to have it?" The minister of course was completely horrified
and said "you know I can't receive stolen goods, you must return
it to the person from whom you stole it". BUT said the thief "I
offered it to him and he refused it". "Well", said the minister, "in
that case you might as well keep it for yourself . . . And when
the minister got home that night he found one of his chickens
missing. — Laughter.
Mostly, however, we can come up with the right answers. A
certain minister got a phone call from the Income Tax people
asking if a certain man had given three thousand dollars to the
Church as he claimed. The minister replied "I'd rather not say
just now but if you will call me back tomorrow, I think the answer
will be yes". — Laughter.
Of course the story I love best of all when it comes to telling
stories on ministers, has to do with the experience of my dear
old friend Archbishop Bill Wright. Years ago he was out calling
on his parishioners and he came to a certain house and he
knocked on the door and to his complete surprise he heard a
lovely, lilting voice saying "Is that you Angel?" Without pause
Bill said "No, but I'm from the same Department". — Laughter.
I started to prepare a speech on Masonry, gentlemen, but
when I read my speech I found it very boring and so I have
changed the subject. I was reminded of a certain Sunday when a
close personal friend, one of my elders, handed me a slip of
paper just a few moments before the Service was about to begin.
There was a glint of mischief in his eyes and when I read what
was on the paper I understood why — because this is what was
printed: An earnest young Preacher, eager to improve himself
bought a tape recorder and recorded one of his Sunday Services.
After supper that evening he set the recorder, settled himself in
an easy chair and he began to listen to the playback. The opening
prayers, the Scripture reading and the announcements came forth
just as he would have wished them and then cam.e the Sermon. . .
When he woke up sometime later the choir was singing the closing
Hymn. — Laughter.
Gentlemen, this evening I am going to speak on the subject
"MAKING THE BEST OF LIFE". I realize fully that I may
4 APPENDIX "B"
not measure up to this rather ambitious subject but I do say this,
that while the speaker may indeed put you to sleep the subject
shouldn't. In a time of tension and uncertainty and uneasiness
when we wonder where the world is going, we need very much to
seek and hopefully to discover how to make the best of our lives.
I recognize very clearly the dangers of such a subject. Of course
to speak with conviction on such a subject may sound very
presumptuous on my part. On the surface at least it might appear
that I were setting myself up as an expert on the subject. That's
always dangerous. I remember one of my favorite stories which
I have told all too frequently but which I can't refrain from
repeating — of a certain rather brilliant young priest in a
Roman Catholic Church who on Mother's Day gave an impas-
sioned and scintillating Sermon on the subject "The Glory, TTie
Beauty and the Sanctity of Motherhood'' . . . Following the service
one of life's unclaimed treasures who I think is often unfairly
described as an Old Maid came gushing up to her friend, Mrs.
Murphy, and said "Oh, Mrs. Murphy, wasn't that a marvellous
Sermon? Did you ever hear such eloquence? Were you not
thrilled to hear good Father O'Malley speak so wonderfully
about the glory and the beauty and the sanctity of motherhood?"
And Mrs. Murphy, who was the mother of 14. replied, "Yes. it
was a most eloquent sermon and very well delivered too, and I
wish to God I knew as little about the subject as the dear man
himself ..." — Laughter.
Mind you, if things keep changing as radically in that Great
Church as they seem to be — I'm going to have to throw that
story out.
No, Brethren, I am not speaking to you this evening from
the point of view of an expert. I'm rather speaking on the theme
because it intrigues me. It intrigues me from a personal point of
view because, like you I want to make the best of life and, like
you, I am a seeker. I want to find the things that really count,
the things and the convictions which will enable me to stand steady
and experience deep within myself an inner and undisturbable
core of serenity. Life is such a short affair even at its longest
and at the end of it I'd like to think I made something worthy of
it in my own life and be able to leave behind a memory kindly
remembered among men. So the question is really important —
How can we make the Best of Life?
/ believe that basically we have to find a realistic and wise
perspective as we journey through the days and the years of this
strange pilgrimage we call Life.
We have to discover, if you will, a philosophy of living
which will enable us to see clear-eyed all the problems and all the
wrongs without being overwhelmed by them, while at the same
time giving our best allegiance to the things which we hold to be
true and good and noble and doing all this in the contemporary
APPENDIX "B" 5
situation. One of the ablest thinkers of our time and one of its
best critics is a man by the name of Elton Trueblood. Elton
Trueblood has given this solemn and sobering appraisal of our
present times. He says this "No man knows what the future holds
in any particular set of events, but every thoughtful person believes
that we are destined to live the remainder of our lives in tension
and turmoil. Whatever the course of History may be in the next
years, it will not be a course of tranquility. Our modern world
has developed so much animosity, so much justifiable fear, so
much open conflict that there is no Peace. We are in the monsoon
and must weather it out. Instead of pining for calmer days, the
way of wisdom is to learn to live realistically in such a time of
strain". That, I hold to be a sober and wise appraisal of our
present times.
It is true, of course, that our time has experienced great
physical changes. Its a brand new world in v/hich v/c are living.
Scientifically, we have made tremendous strides far beyond the
wildest dreams of our forefathers. In Technological know-how
and discovery we have made giant advances. We have such
possessions, such physical comforts, gadgets and conveniences
that we recognize and acknowledge without question Galbraith's
descriptive phrase that this is indeed "the affluent society". Yet,
at the same time, if we look at things realistically we have to
acknowledge that seldom, if ever, has there been a time of greater
restlessness, more inner discontent, more spiritual and moral
decay, more destructive personality problems, and more devast-
ating inner confusions and soul destroying tensions than in our
present day. I can tell you, from the point of view of a working
minister dealing with human beings, this is not an exaggeration.
TTiis is not an easy age for those who look at life with any
degree of sensitivity. The breakdown of time-tested standards, the
growth and devilish ingenuity of organized crime, the increase
of mindless violence, the creeping slime of vile pornography, the
influences which pollute the mind and pollute the soul, to say
nothing of the pollution of the environment and the frightening
possibility of Nuclear holocaust, all militate against any easy
peace of mind, and indeed, if we are not careful, can generate
a kind of inner listlessness which stultifies hope, breeds despair,
blinds vision and generates a sick acceptance which in the end,
destroys the soul. It is not an easy day and we are all tempted
at times to take the cash and let the credit go. nor heed the
rumble of a distant drum — in short, to settle for less than the best
and by so doing become part of the problem ourselves instead of
part of the solution. BY ALL MEANS, I repeat, we must be very
realistic in our appraisal of our contemporary society. We must
not in any way try to deceive ourselves about the very real
seriousness of the evils and wrongs which are present in our
world. BUT at the same time, we must not permit these evils
to overwhelm us and lead us into despair and futility. WE
MUST, rather, see all things in perspective and tackle the problems
with courage and determination and with HOPE. In short, we
6 APPENDIX "B"
must see things in their totality and that's the only way we will
be able to make the best of life.
Let me tell you a story which to me is a parable for each of
us in living. Between the years 1777 and 1832 a man with the
ordinary name of John Jones kept a diary which was published a
few years ago. He began his diary when he was quite young
leaving England to go to Jamaica as tutor to the children of a
Government Official. During the two years he spent in Jamaica
his diary is filled with countless complaints. He didn't like
Jamaica, he didn't like the climate, he didn't like the people,
he didn't like the food, he didn't like this — he didn't like that —
he wrote that he would rather live on bread and water in
England than on banquets in Jamaica. The day he was leaving
the Island he said he was happy to see it sink out of sight
on the horizon and that he hoped he would never set eyes on it
again. He continued his diary in the ensuing years and a few years
later one comes across a most astonishing entry. Astonishing in
the light of all he had complained about while he was in Jamaica.
He wrote in his diary that he would always look back upon the
years he had spent in Jamaica as being the happiest years of his
life. This little story is a parable for all of us in the age in which
we live.
We complain about things as they are and there are, un-
doubtedly, as we have seen, many things about which to com-
plain. In this age of transition, this age of anxiety, this age of
frustration, the problems loom large in our thinking and in our
impatience we wish we could see the end of such a time as this.
AND yet, brethren, in the good providence of God. it may be that
years from now, like the man from Jamaica, many may look
back upon these present days as being the most exciting and stim-
ulating and interesting days of our lives.
It is said of man that he looks before and pines for what
is not. But in our looking before and after and in our pining for
what is not, we often miss the opportunities and the blessings
of those things which are with us in the HERE AND NOW. We
need the exercise of a wise perspective which will enable us to see
and to buttress the good things which we all too frequently permit
to be blurred or overlooked in our struggles with the problems,
the tensions, and the frustrations of our day. BECAUSE MAKE
NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT — the good things are present even
yet. As an old Prayer of the Church has it, we are the steady
recipients of "unnumbered mercies, often unnoticed, often un-
improved and ever undeserved." We may often think there are
nothing but problems, nothing but tensions, nothing but frustra-
tions — but he who has real perspective — knows better.
You may recall a passage from a book written a good
number of years ago entitled LAVENGRO by GEORGE
BORROW. There is a little bit of conversation recorded in that
book which I have always found thrilling. It goes like this:
APPENDIX "B" 7
Life is sweet Brother,
Do you think so?
There's night and day Brother, both sweet things, sun, moon
and stars. Brother, all sweet things; there is likewise the
wind on the heath, Life is very sweet, Brother
In sickness Jasper?
There is the sun and the stars. Brother!
In blindness, Jasper?
There's the wind on the heath, Brother.
The point is this, I repeat, he who views life in wide perspective
will not allow his inner life to be victimized and down graded by
problems, tensions and frustrations. Knowing who he is and
possessing the ability to set real value on real blessings, he will
face the problems with a steady nerve, look upon the difficulties
without panic, and see the frustrations as challenges to find new
and better methods of action. A person who has the wisdom to
appraise life in its totality and the perspective to appreciate life's
true values will not be intimidated by blustering problems of
fearful conditions however disturbing.
Moreover, unlike the man from Jamaica, he does not have to
wait for years to realize a serene happiness, he can experience it
in the here and now of any tumultuous present, he can MAKE
THE BEST OF LIFE.
This wide perspective will enable him to do certain things —
will enable us to do certain things.
From this wide perspective we can make the best of life as
we find a worthy task to which we can devote our lives regardless
of material gains.
By that I mean one who gives himself to a task, not prim-
arily because it gives him material rewards, but because its what
he wants to do more than anything else in the world. Its the
finding of a true vocation. I have the feeling that it is at this point
that we find the clue to much of the dissatisfaction and the sense
of meaninglessness which impoverishes far too many lives. They
are working at some task in which they are not the slightest bit
interested, they have a job maybe but they have missed a calling.
To be truly involved in a task which produces a sense of real
satisfaction is to be well on the way to making the most of life.
Some of you perhaps may think that this is simply the fuzzy
and impractical thinking of an ivory-tower mentality which is
too idealistic for words. Believe me this is not the case. Financial
returns are important — of course they are — not for one moment
would I deny that; and even in the most satisfying task there are
times which can only be described as pure drudgery. This too is
part of the situation but I still insist, that to discover a worthy
and useful task to which one can give oneself with enthusiasm
8 APPENDIX "B"
and zest; to have the confidence of the task one is engaged in
adds to the sum total of things and part of the creative process
of the world is to find the secret of making the best of life. As
Berdyaev once put it. "The soul will ever prepare creativity even
to happiness." I believe this is true because it is the sense of
sharing in the creativity of the world which enables one to find
happiness, to sense the essential worth of human life. That's
a giant step towards Making the Best of Life. It doesn't have to
be out in the forefront. Indeed the world at large may not even
be aware of it, but if we ourselves see our task as part of the
essential order of things and are prepared to give it our best, then
with very few exceptions it is possible for all of us to achieve this
sense of Making the Best of Life. You know it is of some signifi-
cance to me that the most serene person I have met in many years
is a man who labours, who is labouring, and has laboured for
twenty-five years in a difficult and obscure post in Northern
Nigeria, working in an almost hopeless situation against terrific
odds. I couldn't stand what he experiences day by day, I couldn't
stand it for a month. But he is doing what he wants to do. He loves
his work. As I recall the few days I spent with him there I think
of him as a man who really is Making the Best of Life.
Again, from a wide perspective we can Make the Best of
Life as we truly appreciate and take into account the importance
of our fellow human beings.
Reduced to its basic level its the ability to get along with
other people, to realize our human brotherhood and our human
interdependence. Isn't that the essence of the world's problem
today — the need for Nations to learn how to get along in a world
which has become a neighbourhood? But before it can work on
a world-wide scale or even on a National scale, (and my how this
applies to Canada these days), it has to be learned and practised
on the individual level. That is where it comes home to each one
of us.
To Make the Best of Life, we have to keep in mind that
there are other people besides ourselves, people who also have
dreams and aspirations and hopes. We have to keep in mind, in
spite of inherited prejudices, that people who come from a race
or a culture or a colour or a faith other than our own also have
much to contribute to the common good and indeed they may
have more to contribute than we have.
This will go a long way towards lifting us up from intro-
spective self-centeredness, out of petty parochialism, even out of
a narrow nationalism, to see the glorious greatness of our world
and the waiting possibilities of the Divine Order. The understanding
and true practice of real brotherhood will go far to enable us to
Make the Best of Life.
Once more, from the wide perspective, we can Make the
Best of Life as we discover that that life cannot he defeated
APPENDIX "B" 9
which has a real faith to give depth and meaning and purpose to
existence.
It was Maxwell Anderson, I think, who said "the most im-
portant thing about any person is what he believes and WHY".
It is important because it is the thing which determines how he
reacts when life, as it often does, becomes stern and harsh and
cruel in our personal experience.
Long years ago Robert Louis Stevenson, whose own life was
a continuous battle against difficulties and problems greater
than most of us will ever know, wrote a very beautiful and a
very great Prayer. It goes like this:
"Grant us, O Lord, the royalty of inward happiness,
and the serenity which comes from living close to Thee,
Daily renew in us the sense of Joy, and let the Eternal
Spirit of the Father dwell in our souls and bodies, filling
every corner of our hearts with light and grace; so that,
bearing about with us the infection of a good courage, we
may be diffusers of Life and may meet all ills and
accidents with gallant and high hearted happiness, giving
Thee thanks always for all things".
Isn't that beautiful . . !
I suppose this is the sort of thing you would expect a
Preacher to say. But the fact is, I've seen this thing at first hand,
times without number, and so have you, that human beings
Make the Best of Life when their lives are so undergirded by
that strong faith that no matter how rough the road may be,
or how cruel the circumstances, their lives just simply cannot
know defeat.
Making the Best of Life! That surely is our goal. That
surely should be our seeking. With the wide perspective which
these things in their totality; by the discovery of a worthy task
which gives satisfaction and meaning to our existence; through
the practical exercise of the true principle of brotherhood; and
drawing upon the inexhaustible reservoirs of a living faith, WE
can MAKE the Best of Life.
As I draw to a close, I want to remind all of you in my
audience tonight, and I think especially YOU, that there are
two great institutions which constantly teach and remind us of
these great principles I have been annunciating and which by our
involvement in these institutions keep us in steady contact with
these great principles — these are the Church (or as the case
may be the Synagogue) and Masonry. These minister to and
influence us in our seeking and in our discovery on how to
Make the Best of Life. There is no conflict between them. The
Church by its proclamation of a Sovereign God who has created
10 APPENDIX "B"
us to be His children, and which points the way to Salvation;
and Masonry, though it is not a religion and has never claimed to
be, by its Ancient Landmarks, its emphasis on brotherhood and
its stressing of real morality, TOGETHER can lead us to those
discoveries which enable us to Make the Very Best of Life. That
is why I am a Churchman. THAT is why I am a Mason.
So let me close with these words written in the Boston Book
Magazine, Boston, in the year 1904. They are tremendously
familiar to all of you and I think they sum up pretty nearly
everything I have tried to say to you this evening. These are
the words:
"He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often
and loved much, who has enjoyed the trust of pure women, the
respect of intelligent men, and the love of little children; who has
filled his niche and accomplished his task; who has left the world
better than he found it, whether by an improved poppy, a perfect
poem, or a rescued soul; who has never lacked appreciation of
earth's beauty or failed to express it; who has always looked for
the best in others and given them the best he had; whose life was
an inspiration; whose memory a benediction."
My Brethren: Make the Best of Life!
Thank you (Tremendous applause).
R.W. BRO. R. E. DAVIES:
Most Worshipful Brother Nancekivell, Distinguished Head
Table Guests and my Brethren:
Once again a very delightful opportunity has been afforded
me. The opportunity of expressing your thanks to a great man,
a wonderful Mason and an excellent Churchman and I hasten to
add that this task is NOT taken lightly for to adequately say
thanks on your behalf is truly a monumental challenge.
Brother Very Reverend A. Lome MacKay, on Monday
morning our Grand Master suggested that this banquet had a
succession of fine speakers and that he was sure that you would
uphold and enhance this reputation. Tonight \ou have used your
God-given talents to do just that. No, our expectations were not
raised too high for you have not only challenged us but assisted
us to MAKE THE BEST OF OUR LIVES. The rapt attention and
tremendous applause which your brethren gave to you must
indicate their appreciation and now I merely add on their behalf
a very genuine and sincere THANK YOU. — Applause.
