A  BRIEF  BIOGRAPHY  OF  OUR 
GRAND  MASTER 


Robert  Edwin  Davies  was  born  in  Mount  Forest, 
Ontario,  October  5,  1931.  Here  he  received  his  elementary 
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  extracurricular  activities 
as  President  of  the  student  council  and  quarterback  of  the 
football  team  attest  to  his  leadership  ability  even  at  this  ear- 
ly age. 

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

In  1954  he  married  Annabelle  Christie  of  Hopeville 
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.  Alban's  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  Com- 
mittee on  Fraternal  Dead  in  1971  and  1972,  he  was  then  ap- 
pointed for  1973  and  1974  Chairman  of  Benevolence,  a 
committee  with  which  he  had  been  closely  associated  during 
his  entire  tenure  as  a  member  of  the  Board  of  General  Pur- 
poses. 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 
Sovereign  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

Inspector-General,  33°,  at  the  Annual  Meeting  of  the 
Supreme  Council,  A.  &  A.S.R.  of  Canada,  in  Hamilton,

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  MASTERS  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: 

"I  among  all  men  am  most  richly  Blessed" 

These  words  penned  by  an  unknown  author  ring  loud  and 
clear  this  morning  as  I  begin  my  address.  The  Most  High 
has  blessed  your  Grand  Master  by  giving  to  me  the  strength 
and  wisdom  required  to  serve  this  Jurisdiction.  The  strength 
necessary  to  cope  with  the  physical  demands  of  the  office  of 
Grand  Master  is  only  surpassed  by  the  wisdom  necessary  to 
administer  the  affairs  which  demand  all  the  talents  available 
to  any  Grand  Master. 

Before  you  this  morning  stands  a  very  humble  and 
thankful  Grand  Master:  humble  when  I  consider  the  many 
blessings  that  have  been  mine  to  enjoy  and  indeed  profound- 
ly thankful  to  Almighty  God  for  his  Divine  guidance. 


WELCOME 

Welcome  to  the  123rd  Annual  Communication  of  the 
Most  Worshipful  Grand  Lodge  A.F.  &  A.M.  of  Canada  in 
the  Province  of  Ontario.  To  those  who  are  attending  for  the 
first  time,  I  extend  a  particular  welcome.  Some  of  our 
guests  have  journeyed  great  distances  to  be  here.  I  or  my 
representative  have  received  the  gracious  hospitality  of 
many  of  our  distinguished  guests  and  now  it  is  our  pleasure 
to  reciprocate. 

I  trust  that  our  guests  will  enjoy  their  visit  to  this 
Jurisdiction  and  that  they  may  safely  return  to  their  homes, 
enriched  by  the  time  spent  with  their  Brethren  here  in  our 
Grand  Lodge. 


TORONTO.  ONTARIO.  1978  37 

NECROLOGY 

Several  great  servants  of  the  Craft  have  been  lost  dur- 
ing the  past  year.  This  loss  is  felt  by  all  and  our  prayers  and 
thoughts  are  with  their  loved  ones  in  their  time  of  sorrow. 

MORTIMER  CLEEVE  HOOPER 

Most  Worshipful  Brother  M.  C.  Hooper,  our  Grand 
Treasurer  was  attending  the  opening  session  of  the  Annual 
Communication  of  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Canada  in  the 
Province  of  Ontario  on  July  20,  1977.  when  he  collapsed  and 
later  passed  away  in  hospital  on  July  22.  1977.  Masonry  lost 
a  most  respected  Brother  and  Canada  a  most  distinguished 
citizen. 

Initiated  into  University  Lodge.  No.  496.  G.R.C..  at 
Toronto,  in  May  1923;  he  was  elected  Worshipful  Master  in 
1940.  He  served  as  District  Deputy  Grand  Master  of 
Toronto  District  "D"  in  1951-52  and  was  elected  to  the 
Board  of  General  Purposes  in  1957.  1961  saw  him  appointed 
Chairman  of  the  Committee  on  Grievances  and  Appeals 
and  in  1968  he  was  appointed  Grand  Treasurer,  an  office  he 
held  until  his  sudden  demise.  His  distinctions  were  many 
and  merited.  This  Grand  Lodge  conferred  on  him  its  highest 
honour,  Past  Grand  Master  (Hon.). 

He  was  a  past  Thrice  Puissant  Grand  Master  of 
Toronto  Lodge  of  Perfection,  a  member  of  Toronto 
Chapter  Sovereign  Rose  Croix,  Moore  Sovereign  Con- 
sistory, a  past  active  member  of  Supreme  Council  of  the 
Ancient  and  Accepted  Scottish  Rite  and  a  member  of  the 
Royal  Order  of  Scotland. 

His  civic  interests  were  many  and  varied.  Always  a 
man  of  courage  and  vision,  his  talents  were  freely  given  for 
the  benefit  of  his  fellow  man. 

M.  C.  Hooper  was  a  member  of  Blythwood  Road  Bap- 
tist Church,  Toronto,  and  his  record  of  service  includes, 
among  other  things,  Chairman  of  the  Ministerial  Superan- 
nuation Board  and  for  the  past  26  years  Hon.  Solicitor 
General  of  the  Canadian  Baptist  Foreign  Mission  Board. 


38       GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA  ANNUAL  COMMUNICATION 

Most  Worshipful  Brother  Hooper  was  truly  a  giant 
among  men  and  of  him  it  could  be  said,  "This  world  is  a  bet- 
ter place  because  he  passed  this  way." 

WILFRID  NASMITH  PATERSON 

Past  Grand  Senior  Deacon  and  present  at  our  recent 
Communications  as  the  Grand  Secretary  General  of  the  An- 
cient and  Accepted  Scottish  Rite  of  Canada;  a  man  of  quiet 
gentle  characteristics  who  touched  the  lives  of  many  people, 
Bro.  Paterson  passed  away  suddenly  on  September  13, 
1977,  after  a  life  of  devotion  to  his  church,  his  family  and  his 
beloved  Craft.

Past  Grand  Master  of  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Connecticut 
and  a  frequent  visitor  to  this  Grand  Lodge  as  the  Executive 
Secretary  of  the  Masonic  Service  Association,  Bro.  Hahn 
passed  away  suddenly  on  December  15,  1977.  Most  Wor. 
Bro.  Hahn  was  a  walking  encyclopedia  of  Masonic 
knowledge,  a  Masonic  orater  of  great  renown  and  one 
whose  sound  friendly  counsel  will  be  sadly  missed  by  all. 

PAST  RANK 

(1)  V.W.  Bro.  L.  Keith  Poss  of  Scotland  Lodge,  No.  193,

sed away  on  February  13,  1978. 1  recommend  past  rank 
be  confirmed  posthumously.

to  September  1977  inclusive.  He  served  the  lodge  with 
distinction  and  I  have  pleasure  in  recommending  he  be 
granted  rank  of  Past  Master. 

(3)  Because  of  a  change  in  Bylaws  Wor.  Bro.  Jack  Cumm- 
ing  of  Aldworth  Lodge,  No.  235,  served  as  Worshipful

LODGE  BUILDINGS  DEDICATED 

On  Monday,  October  3,  1977,  I  was  especially  pleased 
to  return  to  Cobourg  and  dedicate  the  new  Masonic  Temple 
of  St.  John's  Lodge,  No.  17.  Congratulations  to  the 
Brethren  for  a  job  well  done!  They  are  now  in  possession  of 
a  beautiful  Masonic  home  and  I  wish  for  the  Worshipful 
Master,  Officers  and  members  of  St.  John's  Lodge,  No.  17, 
a  long  and  happy  future  in  their  new  Masonic  Temple. 

MASONIC  DIVINE  SERVICES 

It  was  my  privilege  to  attend  and  to  take  part  in  several 
Divine  Services  during  the  past  year.  Our  Grand  Chaplain, 
R.W.  Bro.  Rev.  Eric  Sisel,  is  to  be  commended  for  the 
leadership  he  has  given  in  this  field.  Not  only  has  he  guided 


40       GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA  ANNUAL  COMMUNICATION 

a  fine  group  of  District  Chaplains  but  as  you  will  hear  in  his 
report,  he  has  personally  conducted  many  Divine  Services 
himself. 

I  heartily  commend  R.W.  Bro.  Eric  Sisel  and  these 
dedicated  Chaplains  for  their  endeavours  in  this  most  im- 
portant facet  of  our  Craft. 

How  good  it  is  to  find  our  Brethren  renewing  the  cove- 
nant of  our  forefathers  and  participating  as  a  lodge  in 
Divine  Worship. 

SPECIAL  EVENTS 

This  past  year  has  provided  a  storehouse  of  memories, 
some  of  which  I  would  share  with  you  now. 

Early  in  the  fall  I  was  privileged  to  address  the 
Supreme  Council  dinner  on  the  occasion  of  the  annual 
meeting  of  the  Supreme  Council  of  the  Ancient  and  Ac- 
cepted Scottish  Rite  of  the  Dominion  of  Canada  and  during 
the  same  session  to  be  coroneted  Honorary  Inspector 
General. 

The  enjoyment  of  sharing  an  evening  with  our  Lieute- 
nant Governor  of  Ontario,  Her  Honour  Mrs.  Pauline 
McGibbon,  at  the  Oshawa  Scottish  Rite  Club  banquet  and 
to  be  received  a  few  days  later  by  my  Mother  Lodge,  St. 
Alban's  No.  200,  at  a  Reception  attended  by  over  400 
Masons,  shall  not  soon  be  forgotten. 

The  great  privilege  of  representing  you  in  many  sister 
jurisdictions  and  especially  in  Williamsburg,  Virginia,  as  the 
Grand  Lodge  of  Virginia  celebrated  200  years  of  Masonry 
in  the  old  Dominion  is  a  vivid  and  lasting  memory. 

The  opportunity  to  respond  to  addresses  of  welcome  in 
Jurisdictions  stretching  the  length  and  breadth  of  this 
country  and  as  far  south  as  Florida  has  been  afforded  your 
Grand  Master  on  numerous  occasions. 

The  thrilling  experience  of  presenting  my  friend  and 
brother,  M.W.  Bro.  John  A.  Irvine,  to  the  Conference  of 
Grand  Masters  of  North  America  held  at  Washington,  D. 


TORONTO.  ONTARIO.  1978  41 

C,  in  February,  on  the  occasion  of  his  election  as  President 
of  the  Conference  of  Grand  Secretaries  of  North  America 
must  rank  high  on  my  list  of  memories. 

The  challenge  of  addressing  the  spring  reunion 
luncheon  of  Moore  Sovereign  Consistory  in  May  and  a 
week  later  to  receive  the  John  Beardsley  Medal  from  the 
Grand  Lodge  of  New  Brunswick,  as  I  addressed  their  An- 
nual Communication,  are  events  still  fresh  in  my  mind. 

The  enjoyment  one  receives  as  he  meets  and  greets 
Masons  from  five  separate  continents  is  second  only  to 
memories  of  the  many  Receptions,  Divine  Services,  social 
functions,  meetings  and  visitations  enjoyed  right  here  in  On- 
tario.

speaker.  Those  of  us  who  were  privileged  to  hear  his  keynote

of  North  America,  unanimously  agreed  M.W.  Bro.  Rasor

PAST  GRAND  MASTERS 

Many  decisions  and  actions  taken  by  a  Grand  Master 
requires  the  guidance  and  wisdom  of  those  Brethren  who 
have  graced  the  Grand  East  before  him.  My  gratitude  is  ex- 
tended to  the  Past  Grand  Masters  who  were  so  helpful  in  so 
many  ways  to  this  Grand  Master.  A  special  thank  you  to 
our  efficient  Grand  Secretary,  M.W.  Bro.  John  A.  Irvine; 
the  Custodian  of  the  Work,  M.W.  Bro.  Wm.  K.  Bailey;  and 
the  President  of  the  Board  of  General  Purposes  and  Deputy 
Grand  Master,  R.W.  Bro.  N.  R.  Richards,  for  their  untiring 
efforts  and  assistance. 


4K       GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA  ANNUAL  COMMUNIC  \TION 

DISTRICT  DEPUTY  GRAND  MASTERS 

This  group  I  single  out  for  special  mention  for  theirs  is 
a  special  role  of  great  importance,  they  being  the  Grand 
Master's  personal  representative  in  each  District.  Much  of 
the  pride  we  take  in  our  work  can  be  attributed  directly  to 
the  performance  of  the  District  Deputy  Grand  Master  in  the 
District.  I  look  with  deep  approval  on  the  men  who  have 
served  this  Grand  Lodge  as  my  representative  during  the 
past  year.  I  recognize  their  place  in  this  Jurisdiction  and  I 
thank  them  individually  and  collectively  for  their  service  to 
the  Craft. 

GRAND  LODGE  OFFICERS  AND 
MEMBERS  OF  BOARD  OF  GENERAL  PURPOSES 

We  owe  a  debt  of  gratitude  to  those  officers  to  whom 
was  entrusted  the  task  of  leadership.  These  talented  and 
dedicated  Brethren  have  served  your  Grand  Lodge  this  year 
with  distinction  and  in  an  outstanding  manner.  Participa- 
tion in  the  fall  meetings  of  the  Board  of  General  Purposes  as 
well  as  other  official  functions,  including  Receptions  to  your 
Grand  Master,  has  been  most  encouraging.  Your  Grand 
Lodge  Officers  have  given  great  service  to  the  Craft.  Their 
energy  and  work  have  meant  much  to  this  Jurisdiction  and 
to  each  of  them  I  extend  my  sincere  appreciation. 

COMMITTEE  ON  PUBLIC  RELATIONS 

The  Chairman  of  this  Committee,  R.W.  Bro.  Thomas 
L.  Wilson,  being  a  modest  man,  chooses  not  to  make  a 
report  each  year  of  his  efforts  on  our  behalf.  My  Brethren  I 
want  you  to  know  the  valued  service  performed  by  this 
Committee  in  our  Jurisdiction. 

R.W.  Bro.  Wilson,  upon  receipt  of  the  Grand  Master's 
itinerary,  immediately  contacts  the  appropriate  newspaper, 
radio  or  television  station  and  interviews  and  stories  are  ar- 
ranged through  his  association  with  the  Thompson  Com- 
pany and  as  a  former  member  of  the  Canadian  Press. 
Almost  without  exception  wherever  your  Grand  Master 
goes  for  a  Reception  he  is  greeted  by  the  local  press  and  sub- 
sequent coverage  of  the  event  is  given. 


TORONTO.  ONTARIO.  1978  49 

After  the  Annual  Communication  reports  are  im- 
mediately filed  by  this  Committee  with  Canadian  Press  and 
we  now  enjoy  much  improved  press  coverage. 

R.W.  Bro.  Wilson,  we  at  Grand  Lodge  appreciate  your 
continuing  efforts  and  extend  to  you  a  most  sincere  thank 
you. 

INSURANCE 

Following  an  exhaustive  survey  by  V.W.  Bro.  John 
Millar,  and  his  Committee,  to  ascertain  the  advisability  of 
entering  into  a  broad  insurance  agreement  with  a  major 
company  in  an  effort  to  save  expense  to  the  individual 
Lodges,  the  results  of  the  survey  dictated  no  action  be  taken 
at  this  time. 

This  survey  of  all  Lodges,  together  with  the  negotia- 
tions held  with  several  insurance  firms,  represented  a  task  of 
great  magnitude.  This  Grand  Lodge  is  indebted  to  V.W. 
Bro.  Millar  for  the  job  he  has  done  and  on  your  behalf  I  ex- 
press a  sincere  thank  you  to  V.W.  Bro.  Millar. 

May  I  remind  all  Lodges  of  the  necessity  to  continually 
review  their  insurance  coverage,  paying  particular  attention 
to  inflated  values  and  always  seeking  to  maintain  adequate 
liability  coverage,  so  essential  today.  Grand  Lodge  main- 
tains its  own  liability  coverage  but  this  does  not  cover  in- 
dividual Lodges.  Please  make  certain  you  have  proper 
protection. 

CONCURRENT  JURISDICTION 

Since  the  larger  proportion  of  our  membership  now 
operate  under  some  form  of  concurrent  jurisdiction,  and 
having  mentioned  this  subject  in  my  last  message  through 
the  medium  of  the  Grand  Lodge  Bulletin  and  having  heard 
no  opposition  to  concurrent  jurisdiction,  but  on  the  contrary 
continually  hearing  of  applicants  seeking  membership  being 
held  up  while  waiver  of  jurisdiction  is  sought  and  sometimes 
denied  for  petty  reasons,  I  recommend  that  as  of  July  20, 
1978,  concurrent  jurisdiction  be  established  in  all  Districts 


50       GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA  ANNUAL  COMMUNICATION 

to  apply  across  the  length  and  breadth  of  the  individual 
District.  This  recommendation  would  not  alter  or  change 
extended  concurrent  jurisdiction  now  enjoyed  by  some 
Districts  but  is  in  addition  to  any  concurrent  jurisdiction 
now  in  effect  and  shall  be  reviewed  after  a  two-year  period. 

MASONIC  FOUNDATION  OF  ONTARIO 

The  Masonic  Foundation  of  Ontario,  under  the 
leadership  of  M.W.  Bro.  Wm.  K.  Bailey,  is  about  to  embark 
on  a  program  to  raise  $350,000  by  the  year  1980,  at  which 
time  this  Grand  Lodge  marks  its  125th  Anniversary.  I 
solicit  your  serious  consideration  and  assistance  to  make 
this  effort  a  resounding  success. 

125th  ANNIVERSARY  CELEBRATION 

The  plans  are  now  laid  to  commemorate  this  event  and 
R.W.  Bro.  Charles  Emmett,  the  Chairman  of  this  Commit- 
tee, shall  shortly  be  unveiling  his  program.  Again,  I  solicit 
your  support  to  mark  this  occasion  in  a  fitting  manner. 

OPERATION  LIFELINE 

This  project,  under  the  direction  of  Wor.  Bro.  Paul 
Curry  and  R.W.  Bro.  Ronald  E.  Groshaw,  has  now  been 
brought  to  a  successful  conclusion.  Over  $50,000  was  raised 
by  the  Masons  of  the  seven  Toronto  Districts  and  as  a  result 
the  Blood  Transfusion  Department  of  the  Canadian  Red 
Cross  Society  shall  soon  put  into  service  a  fine  new  Mobile 
Lab  Unit  made  possible  by  the  generosity  of  the  Masonic 
Fraternity.  Congratulations  to  all  for  an  outstanding  job. 

SUSPENSION 

On  November  15,  1977,  I  notified,  by  registered  mail, 
Bro.  Robert  Hodgins  of  Palace  Lodge,  No.  604,  Windsor, 
that  he  was  suspended  by  the  Grand  Master  from  the  Order 
as  of  that  date  for  alleged  Masonic  misconduct.  He  was 
summonsed  on  June  9,  1978,  to  appear  before  the  Commit- 
tee on  Grievances  and  Appeals  on  Monday,  July  17,  1978, 
at  12:30  p.m.  in  the  Nova  Scotia  Room  of  the  Royal  York 
Hotel. 


TORONTO.  ONTARIO.  1978  51 

Palace  Lodge,  No.  604,  have  been  reprimanded  for  a 
lack  of  appropriate  action  in  the  manner  in  which  they  al- 
lowed this  member  to  live  under  a  cloud  of  suspicion,  rightly 
or  wrongly,  without  being  given  an  opportunity  to  defend 
himself.  I  deem  the  inaction  of  the  lodge  to  be  reprehensible 
and  suggest  that  this  be  a  warning  to  other  lodges  who  may 
be  faced  with  a  like  circumstance.  A  further  report  will  be 
made  by  the  Chairman  of  the  Committee  on  Grievances  and 
Appeals. 

REVISION  OF  THE  CONSTITUTION 

Change  is  one  of  the  slowest  things  to  be  brought  about 
in  Freemasonry  but  with  the  professional  expertise  available 
in  the  Craft,  change  that  is  so  necessary  is  most  assuredly 
being  made! 

The  Committee,  under  the  able  chairmanship  of  M.W. 
Bro.  W.  K.  Bailey,  responsible  for  the  Revision  of  the  Con- 
stitution is  to  be  commended  for  their  untiring  efforts  in  this 
regard.  You,  my  Brethren,  are  to  be  commended  for  the 
close  perusal  you  have  given  the  first  revision,  and  now  as 
the  Committee  will  shortly  be  presenting  the  new  revised 
copy,  incorporating  your  comments.  I  again  ask  for  your 
co-operation. 

This  is  your  Constitution  and  it  is  so  vital  that  it  reflect 
your  Masonic  expertise.  Please  give  the  new  copy  your 
careful  perusal  and  hopefully  at  this  time  next  year  the 
revised  copy  of  the  Constitution  may  be  adopted. 

LONG  RANGE  PLANNING  COMMITTEE 

It  cannot  be  denied  that  materially  the  world  is  chang- 
ing at  a  tremendous  pace.  Indeed,  one  must  run  pell-mell 
just  to  keep  up.  The  fact  that  in  some  aspects  we  as  a  Grand 
Lodge  appear  to  be  lagging  must  indicate  a  need  for  an  in 
depth  study.  After  considerable  discussion  with  members  of 
the  Grand  East  and  other  concerned  Masons,  your  Grand 
Master  has  requested  the  Deputy  Grand  Master.  R.W.  Bro. 
N.  R.  Richards,  to  form  a  Committee,  consisting  of  a  broad 
cross  section  of  our  membership.  This  Committee  is  asked 


52       GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA  ANNUAL  COMMUNICATION 

to  study  all  aspects  of  our  present  system  of  operation  and 
report  their  findings,  together  with  any  suggestions,  directly 
to  the  Grand  Master. 

USE  OF  ALCOHOLIC  BEVERAGES 

On  May  15,  1972,  a  directive  was  issued  by  the  then 
Grand  Master,  M.W.  Bro.  W.  K.  Bailey.  This  directive 
made  provision  for  the  use  of  alcoholic  beverages,  if  desired, 
at  certain  functions. 

My  Brethren,  I  would  remind  you  this  directive  is  still  in 
effect  and  I  respectfully  request  you  adhere  to  it  meticulous- 

CONCLUDING  REMARKS 

Now,  I  must  draw  to  a  close  this  the  report  of  my 
stewardship  as  your  Grand  Master.  It  has  been  a  busy  but  a 
most  enjoyable  term  and  I  hope  that  my  strength,  faith  and 
courage  may  be  sufficient  for  the  ensuing  year. 

My  first  term  is  now  history  —  what  of  the  future  of 
this  great  jurisdiction?  I  observe  a  significant  number  of 
younger  men  coming  into  our  Order.  Let  us  be  mindful  of 
their  needs  and  listen  as  they  speak  for  they  are  the  vehicle 
for  growth  in  the  future.  Change  just  for  the  sake  of  change 
is  not  what  I  advocate.  However,  change  when  necessary  to 
meet  man's  ever  changing  viewpoint  is  essential  to  insure 
our  future.  Robert  Browning  once  said,  "To  be  content  with 
laurels  won  means  death."  Brethren,  we  must  not  err  by 
failing  to  make  full  use  of  the  younger  talent. 

The  mobility  of  society  today  causes  Masons  to 
become  almost  itinerant.  It  should  be  of  concern  to  each  of 
us  to  constantly  be  watching  for  itinerant  Brethren  who  may 
now  be  residing  in  our  communities.  We  ought  to  seek  these 
Brethren  out  and  extend  to  them  the  welcome  hand  of 
Brotherhood  and  invite  them  to  establish  a  new  Masonic 
home  in  our  midst  if  possible. 

I  would  hope  we  would  become  evermore  conscious  of 
our  obligation  to  serve  our  fellow  man  by  greater  com- 


TORONTO.  ONTARIO,  1978  53 

munity  involvement.  When  assistance  is  needed,  be  it  com- 
munity appeals,  church  support,  or  participation  in  any 
worthwhile  project,  individual  Masons  should  lead  the  way: 
remember  Masonry  is  judged  by  your  actions  in  the  realm 
of  your  everyday  life. 

During  my  visitations  to  sister  Jurisdictions,  I  have 
witnessed  several  rededication  ceremonies.  These  are  being 
performed  at  the  local  Craft  level,  and  at  Grand  Lodge  level 
as  well.  How  meaningful  it  is  to  see  hundreds  of  Masons  on 
bended  knee,  giving  thanks  to  Almighty  God  as  they 
rededicate  themselves  to  the  principles  of  Freemasonry.  We 
here  in  Ontario  would  do  well  to  take  a  new  look  at  this 
magnificent  system  of  morality  that  is  ours  to  enjoy  and 
then  to  rededicate  ourselves  to  the  way  of  life  laid  down  by 
God  for  man.  If  we  do  this  the  words  spoken  by  the  wise  and 
venerable  Roscoe  Pound  will  take  on  a  new  dimension:  a 
dimension  of  great  meaning. 

"Freemasonry  has  more  to  offer  the  20th  cen- 
tury than  the  20th  century  has  to  offer 
Freemasonry." 

My  prayer  as  your  Grand  Master  during  the  past  year 
has  been  that  I  might  motivate  Masons  to  fully  appreciate 
the  great  Masonic  heritage  which  we  enjoy  and  then  in  turn 
to  shoulder  their  parallel  responsibility  to  mankind.  Today 
as  I  mark  the  mid  point  in  my  term  as  your  Grand  Master,  I 
am  even  more  convinced  that  "Freemasonry  has  much  to 
offer  the  20th  century."  Yes,  "I  among  all  men  am  most 
richly  Blessed." 

Sincerely  and  fraternally 

R.  E.  DAVIES, 

Grand  Master

APPOINTMENT  OF  COMMITTEE  ON  THE 
GRAND  MASTER'S  ADDRESS 

At  the  conclusion  of  the  Address  it  was  moved  by 
M.W.  Bro.  J.  N.  Allan,  seconded  by  M.W.  Bro.  B.  B. 
Foster  and  carried:  That  a  committee,  composed  of  all  the 
Past  Grand  Masters  present,  consider  and  report  to  Grand 
Lodge  on  the  Grand  Master's  Address.  The  motion  was  put 
by  the  Deputy  Grand  Master. 


REPORT  OF  THE  COMMITTEE  ON 
DECEASED  BRETHREN 

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


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  with  solemn  remembrance  that  we,  the  Committee  on 
Deceased  Brethren,  present  this  report,  in  order  that  we  may  pay 
tribute  to  those  of  our  Brethren,  who  have  been  removed  from  the 
cares  of  this  life  to  that  Other  Grand  Lodge. 


To  all  Brethren,  the  word  deceased  has  its  own  personal 
meaning.  For  one  fleeting  moment,  it  remains  and  portrays  to  us 
the  realities  and  frailties  of  life.  Therefore,  it  is  with  reverence, 
gratitude,  and  a  profound  sense  of  Brotherly  Love  that  we 
remember  them  at  this  time. 


Few  men  were  more  modest  in  their  lives,  and  when  death 
claimed  them,  a  great  light  was  extinguished,  a  deep  toned  bell  was 
hushed,  mankind  indeed  lost  valued  friends  in  these  Masons.  To 
such  a  life  as  theirs,  death  was  but  going 


TORONTO.  ONTARIO.  1978  55 

'Out  of  the  shadows  of  sadness. 
Into  the  sunshine  of  gladness. 
Into  the  light  of  the  blest. 
Out  of  the  land  very  dreary. 
Out  of  a  world  of  the  weary. 
Into  the  rapture  of  rest." 


My  Brethren,  as  we  move  in  the  realm  of  this  life,  may  we 
regulate  our  thoughts  and  actions  so  as  not  to  tarnish,  mark,  or 
engrave  on  the  memory  of  our  departed  Brethren. 


I  challenge  all  Masons  assembled  of  our  obligation  to  hold 
high  that  torch  of  friendship.  Brotherly  Love,  relief  and  truth  in 
their  honour,  and,  when  those  shadows  of  our  life  deepen 


"That  we  have  served  some  useful  post. 
That  here  and  there  we  have  paid  our  fare. 
With  more  than  idle  words  or  boast: 
And  that  we  had  taken  gifts  divine. 
To  the  glory  of  mankind. 
That  we  had  used  them  now  and  then. 
To  serve  our  God  and  our  Fellowmen." 


It  has  been  my  privilege,  and  an  honour  to  have  been 
chairman  of  your  Committee  on  Deceased  Brethren.  I  do  ap- 
preciate the  kindly  assistance  afforded  by  my  associates. 


This  Committee  is  also  striving,  with  an  earnest  desire,  that 
the  Memorial  Services  of  our  Deceased  Brethren  be  ever  held  with 
reverence  and  respect.  We  wish  to  dispel  the  remotest  tendency  of 
creating  an  air  of  pageantry.  The  Brethren  should  be  carefully 
chosen  and  instructed  to  commit  from  memory  a  portion  of  the 
service.  In  other  words,  be  prepared.  In  our  Masonic  Funeral,  we 
must  leave  the  best  image  and  a  quiet  reverence  must  be  practiced. 
Oftentimes,  this  is  the  only  opportunity  the  bereaved,  and  other 
people  present,  will  have  to  observe  Masons  as  a  group. 


56       GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA  ANNUAL  COMMUNICATION 


May  we  also  remind  you  that  Masonic  Lodges  have  a  respon- 
sibility to  our  Deceased  Brethrens'  widows  and  children.  Not  only 
have  we  a  duty  as  to  their  financial  requirements,  but  it  is  ours  to 
see  as  to  their  general  well-being.  They  should  be  reminded  by  our 
actions  that  they  have  not  been  forgotten.  To  those  Brethren  who 
have  intended  visiting  that  certain  family,  do  not  procrastinate. 


Such,  my  Brethren,  is  the  nature  of  our  being.  We  have  the 
privilege  to  pass  through  life  but  once.  Any  good  therefore,  we  can 
do,  let  us  be  doing  it  now.  I  know  many  of  our  Brethren,  so 
departed,  practiced  that  philosophy. 


The  greatest  service  we  Masons  can  render  to  the  memory  of 
our  Deceased  Brethren,  is  to  build  a  bulwark,  not  only  against 
hatred  and  bigotry,  but  also,  and  much  more,  against  that 
materialistic  philosophy  which  plays  such  havoc  with  our  world. 


We,  as  Masons,  must  remember  it  is  our  responsibility  to 
create  and  cultivate  a  spirit  free,  friendly  and  fraternal,  a  spirit  that 
would  sweeten  the  bitterness  of  the  world  hate. 


To  this,  my  Brethren,  I  leave  with  you  in  loving  memory  and 
affection,  as  we  recall  now  our  Deceased  Brethren.

GRAND  CHAPLAIN: 

Blessed  be  the  Lord!  for  He  has  heard 

the  voice  of  my  supplications. 
The  Lord  is  my  strength  and  my  shield; 
in  Him  my  heart  trusts. 

(Psalm  28:6-7) 

Prayer  of  Invocation: 

Eternal  God,  our  days  and  years  are  lived  in  Thy 
mercy.  Make  us  know  how  frail  we  are  and  how  brief  our 
time  on  earth;  and  lead  us  by  Thy  Holy  Spirit,  so  that  when 
we  have  served  Thee  in  our  generation,  we  may  be  gathered 
into  Thy  presence,  steadfast  in  faith  and  loving  toward 
neighbors.  And  to  Thee  be  the  power,  the  glory  and  the  ma- 
jesty forever. 

Amen

Responsive  Reading  (Psalm  121): 

1.  I  lift  up  my  eyes  to  the  hills. 

From  whence  does  my  help  come? 

2.  My  help  comes  from  the  Lord, 

who  made  heaven  and  earth. 

3.  He  will  not  let  your  foot  be  moved: 

He  who  keeps  you  will  not  slumber. 

4.  Behold,  He  who  keeps  Israel 

will  neither  slumber  nor  sleep. 

5.  The  Lord  is  your  keeper; 

the  Lord  is  your  shade  on  your  right  hand. 

6.  The  sun  shall  not  smite  you  by  day, 

nor  the  moon  by  night. 

7.  The  Lord  will  keep  you  from  all  evil; 

He  will  keep  your  life. 

8.  The  Lord  will  keep  your  going  out  and  your 

coming  in  from  this  time  forth  and  for  evermore. 

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

Almighty  God,  we  remember  before  Thee  those 
Brethren  who  have  lived  among  us,  who  have  directed  our 
steps  in  the  way,  opened  our  eyes  to  the  truth,  inspired  our 
hearts  by  their  witness,  and  strengthened  our  wills  by  their 
devotion.  We  rejoice  in  their  lives  dedicated  to  Thy  service, 
we  honor  them  in  their  death,  and  we  pray  that  we  may  be 
united  with  them  in  the  glory  of  the  Grand  Lodge  above. 

Amen. 

All  respond:  So  mote  it  be. 

Benediction: 

The  peace  of  the  G.A.O.T.U.  rule  in  your  hearts  and 
the  love  of  the  Lord  dwell  in  you  richly  with  all  wisdom. 

Amen.

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

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,  1978  and  statements  of  receipts  and 
disbursements  of  the  General  Fund  and  combined 
Memorial  and  Semi-Centennial  Fund  for  the  year  then 
ended.  My  examination  was  made  in  accordance  with 
generally  accepted  auditing  standards  and  accordingly  in- 
cluded such  tests  and  other  procedures  as  I  considered 
necessary  in  the  circumstances. 

The  securities  of  the  General,  Memorial  and  Semi- 
Centennial  Funds  as  set  out  in  the  respective  schedules  ac- 
companying the  Grand  Treasurer's  Report  are  held  and  cer- 
tified to  under  date  of  June  15,  1978  by  the  Canadian 
Imperial  Bank  of  Commerce. 

In  my  opinion,  these  Financial  Statements  present  fair- 
ly 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,  1978  and  the  receipts  and  disbursements  for  the 
year  then  ended  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  ac- 
counting principles  applied  on  a  basis  consistent  with  that  of 
the  preceding  year. 


Yours  fraternally

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: 

I  have  the  honour  to  submit  the  Grand  Treasurer's 
report  for  the  year  ending  April  30,  1978.  I  should  like,  first 
of  all,  to  assure  you  that  the  finances  of  Grand  Lodge  are  in 
a  sound  and  satisfactory  condition,  the  result  of  careful  and 
prudent  management  of  our  finances  by  those  responsible 
for  this  important  task. 

The  full  effect  of  the  increase  in  per  capita  tax  was  ap- 
plicable to  this  financial  year  and  accounted  for  an  increase 
in  receipts  from  dues  and  fees  of  $21,674.91.  I  am  also 
pleased  to  report  an  increase  in  income  from  investments,  a 
result  of  reinvestment  of  funds  derived  from  securities  that 
matured  at  a  higher  rate  of  interest.  A  further  improvement 
in  our  cash  position  resulted  from  the  sale  of  books  and 
printed  material  that  had  been  paid  for  in  the  previous  year 
and  was  taken  from  inventory. 

It  is  with  genuine  satisfaction  that  I  am  able  to  inform 
you  that  expenditures  were  kept  well  within  budget,  thereby 
enabling  us  to  increase  the  value  of  our  assets  to  a  figure 
slightly  in  excess  of  $2  million  which  was  an  all  time  high. 

Our  assistance  to  disabled  and  needy  Brethren  was  con- 
tinued, as  has  been  support  extended  to  ten  worthy 
charitable  organizations,  details  which  are  set  out  in  the 
financial  statement  which  follows. 

I  am  indebted  to  the  Grand  Secretary  and  his  staff  for 
their  loyal  and  generous  assistance  in  facilitating  the  work 
of  the  Grand  Treasurer,  and  to  the  Chairman  of  the  Com- 
mittee on  Audit  and  Finance  for  his  wise  counsel. 

I  wish  also  to  record  my  appreciation  of  the  financial 
information  furnished  the  Grand  Treasurer  on  a  monthly 
basis  by  our  Auditor,  Bro.  A.  W.  Parish,  F.C.A.  and  for  the 
annual  statement  which  sets  out  in  detail  our  financial 


TORONTO.  ONTARIO.  1978  73 

operation  for  the  year.  This  statement  includes  schedules  of 
the  year's  receipts  and  expenditures  in  the  General. 
Memorial,  Commutation  and  Pension  Reserve  accounts  as 
well  as  lists  and  valuations  of  our  securities  with  summaries 
which  are  comprehensive  and  informative.  These  are 
published  in  the  pages  that  follow  and  are  commended  to 
your  attention  and  study. 

Fraternally  submitted, 

JAMES  N.ALLAN 

Grand  Treasurer.

On  motion  of  the  Deputy  Grand  Master,  seconded  by

by  Grand  Lodge. 


TORONTO.  ONTARIO.  1978  93 

COMMITTEE  OF  SCRUTINEERS 

The  Grand  Master  appointed  R.W.  Bro.  Robert 
Strachan,  Chairman  of  the  Committee  of  Scrutineers,  to 
supervise  and  count  the  vote  at  the  election  of  Grand  Lodge 
officers,  with  power  to  name  the  members  of  the 
Committee. 

REPORTS  OF  THE  DISTRICT  DEPUTY 
GRAND  MASTERS 

The  Reports  of  the  43  District  Deputy  Grand  Masters 
were  presented  by  the  Grand  Secretary  and  on  motion  by 
the  Deputy  Grand  Master  seconded  by  the  Grand  Secretary, 
they  were  received  and  referred  to  the  Board  of  General 
Purposes. 

REPORT  OF  THE  COMMITTEE  ON 
FRATERNAL  RELATIONS 

This  Report  was  presented  by  M.  Wor.  Bro.  E.  W. 
Nancekivell,  and  on  motion  of  the  Deputy  Grand  Master, 
seconded  by  M.  Wor.  Bro.  Nancekivell,  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  purpose  or  function  of  this  committee  on  Fraternal  Rela- 
tions is  to  consider  requests  for  recognition  from  other  Grand 
Lodges  and  to  recommend  to  the  Grand  Master  and  Grand  Lodge 
an  affirmative  or  negative  reply,  or  in  some  cases  a  deferral  for 
further  consideration  at  a  later  date.  The  committee  also  may 
recommend  withdrawal  of  recognition  if  circumstances  warrant  so 
doing.  Your  Committee  Chairman  is  a  member  of  the  Commission 
on  Information  for  Recognition  of  the  Conference  of  the  Grand 
Masters  of  Masons  in  North  America  and  therefore  the  Commit- 
tee recommendations  reflect  in  many  instances  the  deliberations 
and  decisions  of  that  Commission  which  exists  in  an  advisory 
capacity  to  the  Conference's  constituent  Grand  Lodges. 


94       GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA  ANNUAL  COMMUNICATION 

We  have  at  hand  several  requests  for  recognition,  some  of  re- 
cent date,  some  that  have  been  held  over  for  several  years. 

Your  Committee  recommends  extending  recognition  to  the 
Grand  Lodge  of  the  Dominican  Republic.  It  also  recommends 
recognition  of  the  following  State  Grand  Lodges  of  Brazil,  each  of 
which  is  regular  in  the  Masonic  sense  of  the  word,  and  worthy  of 
recognition: 

The  Grand  Lodge  do  Estado  do  Espirito  Santo 

The  Grand  Lodge  of  Pernambuco 

The  Grand  Lodge  of  Parana 

The  Grand  Lodge  of  Rio  Grande  do  Norte 

The  Grand  Lodge  do  Estado  de  Goias 

We  also  have  a  request  for  recognition  from  the  Grand  Orient 
of  Brazil.  The  Commission  has  written  extensively  in  the  past  on 
Masonry  in  Brazil  and  particularly  the  problems  between  the  State 
Grand  Lodges  of  Brazil  and  the  Grand  Orient.  There  exists  a  docu- 
ment entitled  "A  Treaty  of  Fraternal  Collaboration  and  Mutual 
Recognition"  between  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Guanabara,  Brazil,  and 
the  Grand  Orient  of  Brazil  dated  November  14th,  1977.  However, 
we  received  copies  of  a  letter  from  the  Grand  Secretary  of  the 
Grand  Lodge  of  Rio  Grande  do  Sul  stating  that  the  Grand  Lodge 
of  Guanabara  reconsidered  the  treaty  and  declared  it  void  and  a 
letter  from  the  Secretary  General  of  the  Confederation  of  Masonic 
Symbolic  Lodges  of  Brazil  confirming  the  previous  letter  and 
stating  that  "neither  formal  relations  between  any  State  Grand 
Lodge  and  the  Grand  Orient  nor  any  study  toward  the  establish- 
ment of  those  relations  are  under  existence  right  now  in  Brazil" 
because  of  irregular  procedures  in  the  Lodges  of  the  Grand  Orient 
all  over  Brazil.  Your  Committee  recommends  therefore  that 
recognition  of  the  Grand  Orient  of  Brazil  not  be  granted  at  this 
time. 

The  Grand  Lodge  of  Canada  in  the  Province  of  Ontario,  on 
the  advice  of  this  Committee  (then  chaired  by  the  late  Most  Wor. 
Bro.  Harry  L.  Martyn)  extended  fraternal  recognition  to  the 
Grana  Orient  of  Italy  in  1973.  Since  then  there  has  been  sent  to  the 
Commission  on  Information  for  Recognition  a  great  volume  of 
written  material  from  bcth  Italian  and  non  Italian  Masons  outlin- 
ing the  seriously  disruptive  situation  in  the  Grand  Orient  of  Italy. 
The  Commission   recommended   to  the  Grand   Lodges  of  the 


TORONTO.  ONTARIO,  1978  95 

Conference  of  Grand  Masters  of  Masons  in  North  America  in  its 
1978  report  that  recognition  be  withdrawn  from  the  Grand  Orient 
of  Italy,  and  this  action  we  now  recommend  to  the  Grand  Lodge  of 
Canada  in  the  Province  of  Ontario. 

Respectfully  and  fraternally  submitted. 

ERIC  W.  NANCEKIVELL 

Chairman.

FRATERNAL  CORRESPONDENCE 

M.W.  Bro.  B.  B.  Foster  presented  this  Report  and  read 
the  Foreword  to  the  Reviews.  The  Deputy  Grand  Master 
then  moved,  seconded  by  M.W.  Bro.  B.  B.  Foster,  that  the 
Report  be  received  and  adopted;  Carried. 

REPORT  OF  THE  COMMITTEE  ON 
CONSTITUTION  AND  LAWS 

This  report  was  presented  to  M.W.  Bro.  W.  L.  Wright, 
Chairman,  and  on  motion  of  the  Deputy  Grand  Master, 
seconded  by  M.W.  Bro.  Wright,  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  efficiency  of  Grand  Lodge  is  due  in  no  small  part  to  the 
adherence  to  the  Constitution  and  it's  directives  by  each  individual 
lodge.  Through  the  years  these  rules  on  the  whole  have  been 
respected.  It  is  inevitable  that  at  times  Grand  Lodge  may  be  con- 
fronted with  changing  conditions  when  a  fresh  appraisal  must  be 
made  of  the  Constitution. 

Under  the  capable  leadership  of  Most  Wor.  Bro.  W.  K. 
Bailey,  who  has  been  a  tower  of  strength,  and  his  Committee,  cer- 
tain changes  have  been  suggested  with  the  strong  recommendation 
that  the  lodges  examine  these  proposed  changes.  In  due  course  the 
revised  Constitution  will  be  brought  before  Grand  Lodge  for 
ratification. 


96       GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA  ANNUAL  COMMUNICATION 

That  part  of  the  Grand  Master's  address  dealing  with  the 
Revision  of  the  Constitution,  is  particularly  appropria  e  for  your 
Committee  on  Constitution  and  Laws.  Please  read  this  paragraph 
thoroughly. 

Your  Committee  recommends  that  Grand  Lodge  identifies 
itself  whole-heartedly  with  the  sentiments  expressed  by  the  Grand 

Master. 

The  subject  of  Concurrent  Jurisdiction  has  been  increasingly  a 
matter  of  importance  for  the  Committee  on  Constitution  and 
Laws.  The  Grand  Master  has  given  a  practical  directive  on  the  sub- 
ject of  Concurrent  Jurisdiction.  His  words  bear  repeating. 

"Since  the  larger  proportion  of  our  membership  now  operate 
under  some  form  of  Concurrent  Jurisdiction,  and  having  men- 
tioned this  subject  in  my  last  message  through  the  medium  of  the 
Grand  Lodge  Bulletin,  and  having  heard  no  opposition  to  Concur- 
rent Jurisdiction,  but  on  the  contrary  continually  hearing  of  appli- 
cants seeking  membership  being  held  up  while  Waiver  of  Jurisdic- 
tion is  sought  and  sometimes  denied  for  petty  reasons,  I  recom- 
mend that  as  of  July  20th,  1978,  Concurrent  Jurisdiction  be  es- 
tablished in  all  Districts  to  apply  across  the  length  and  breadth  of 
the  individual  District.  This  recommendation  would  not  alter  or 
change  extended  Concurrent  Jurisdiction  now  enjoyed  by  some 
Districts,  but  is  in  addition  to  any  Concurrent  Jurisdiction  now  in 
effect  and  shall  be  reviewed  after  a  two-year  period". 

Your  Committee  endorses  the  above  statement  and  asks  for 
the  concurrence  of  Grand  Lodge. 

In  a  time  of  change,  the  Constitution  and  Laws  of  any  institu- 
tion must  be  carefully  and  sympathetically  scrutinized.  The  Lodges 
of  our  Jurisdiction  are  to  be  commended  for  their  interest,  under- 
standing and  support  of  the  proposed  changes. 

Respectfully  submitted  on  behalf  of  the  Committee. 

WILLIAM  L.  WRIGHT, 

Chairman,  Constitution  and  Laws 


REPORT  OF  THE  COMMITTEE  ON  WARRANTS 

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


TORONTO.  ONTARIO.  1978  97 

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: 

It  is  a  pleasure  for  me  to  present  this  report  on  behalf  of  the 
Committee  on  Warrants  for  the  year  1977-78.  The  Committee 
consists  of  the  following  brethren:  M.W.  Bro.  J.  A.  Irvine.  R.W. 
Bros.  W.  A.  Isbister,  W.  S.  McNeil,  G.  B.  Rickard.  C.  J.  Hepburn. 
C.  F.  Grimwood,  I.  G.  Noble,  A.  Warnuk,  J.  C.  Piper  and  J.  M. 
Napier.  • 

Applications  for  Warrants  have  been  received  from  two 
lodges  presently  working  under  dispensation.  We,  your  committee, 
have  examined  the  books,  records  and  petitions  from  the  two  ap- 
plicants and  find  everything  to  be  in  order.  We  therefore  take  great 
pleasure  in  recommending  Warrants  be  issued  to  the  following: 

Heritage  Lodge  U.D.  Cambridge  to  be  numbered  730  and  ad- 
ded to  Waterloo  District. 

Otto  Klotz  Lodge  U.D.  Cambridge  to  be  numbered  731  and 
also  added  to  Waterloo  District. 

The  Committee  would  like  to  offer  their  congratulations  and 
best  wishes  to  the  members  of  these  new  lodges.  Special  mention 
must  be  made  of  the  Secretaries  of  these  two  lodges,  the  impor- 
tance of  keeping  accurate  minutes  and  ledgers  is  very  important 
when  applying  for  a  Warrant.  We  offer  our  thanks  to  these  two 
brethren  for  their  fine  efforts  on  behalf  of  their  lodges. 

We  would  also  like  to  echo  the  suggestions  of  former  commit- 
tees in  reminding  the  lodges  of  the  importance  of  keeping  records, 
minute  books,  Tyler's  registers  etc.  in  fire  proof  receptacles. 

Your  Committee  would  like  to  suggest  to  the  incoming 
D.D.G.M.s  to  check  their  districts  and  determine  if  there  has  been 
any  large  scale  movement  of  people  into  the  areas.  If  there  has 
been  maybe  we  have  a  number  of  unaffiliated  Masons  who  are  not 
attending  lodge  on  a  regular  basis.  One  such  spot  in  the  western 
part  of  the  province  is  in  the  Douglas  Point  Area.  Although  we 
have  Northern  Light  Lodge  No.  93  at  Kincardine  and  Bruce  Lodge 
No.  341  at  Tiverton  both  in  North  Huron  District  close  to  Douglas 
Point,  maybe  thought  should  be  given  to  surveying  the  situation  to 
determine  if  there  is  need  of  starting  a  new  lodge  in  this  area.  How 
many  other  parts  of  the  province  are  faced  with  a  similar  situation? 


98       GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA  ANNUAL  COMMUNICATION 

In  closing,  your  committee  would  like  to  again  wish  our  two 
new  lodges  the  best  for  1978  and  may  you  grow  and  prosper  in  the 
future. 

Respectfully  and  fraternally  submitted, 

H.  CAMERON  STEELE, 

Chairman 

REPORT  OF  THE  COMMITTEE  ON 
PRINTING  AND  SUPPLIES 

This  Report  was  presented  by  R.W.  Bro.  H.  O.  Polk, 
Chairman,  and  on  motion  of  the  Deputy  Grand  Master, 
seconded  by  R.W.  Bro.  Polk,  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  Printing  and  Supplies,  I  have 
the  honour  to  present  this  report  to  the  123rd  Annual  Communica- 
tion of  our  Grand  Lodge.  The  Committee  members  are  Rt.  Wor. 
Bros.  J.  Selkirk,  T.  E.  Bedford,  H.  R.  Ferguson,  A.  J.  Berry,  J.  L. 
White,  F.  A.  Knapp  and  the  undersigned  as  Chairman. 

The  expenditures  of  Printing  for  the  year  ending  May  31st, 
1978  are  as  follows: 

Constitutions  (1  year's  supply)  2,500  .-.$  6,276.00 

Booklets  (No.  0,  1,2,  &  3)  10,000 1,220.00 

Bulletins  and  Postage; 

Cost  of  Bulletins  4,050.00 

Postage  1,362.35 

Fraternal  Reviews  3,500 2,535.90 

Preliminary  Reports  3,500 4,002.66 

Proceedings  1,300 9,823.28 

New  Lodge  Books  1 70.65 

Printing,  Stationery  and  Office 

Supplies: 7,535.43 

$36,976.27 

We  hasten  to  point  out  that  the  total  costs  of  the  items  re- 
quired for  the  year's  operation,  exceeded  the  cost  of  corresponding 
items  for  the  year  1976-7,  by  $6,592.71.  This  sharp  increase  is  the 


TORONTO.  ONTARIO.  1978  99 

result  of  inflation  in  the  market  place  generally,  and  affects  the 
financial  structure  of  our  fraternity  the  same  as  in  any  business 
operation.  A  goodly  portion  of  the  first  edition  Cost  of  Printing 
"Meeting  the  Challenge"  in  1976-7  has  been  recovered,  and  is 
reflected  in  Receipts  for  last  year  and  by  the  sale  of  1260  copies 
during  this  year. 

It  isn't  possible  to  report  total  receipts  recovered  from  resale 
of  supplies  by  this  Committee  this  year,  as  the  information 
provided  by  the  Grand  Secretary's  office  was  submitted  prior  to 
the  close  of  the  fiscal  year,  April  30th,  1978.  However,  such 
receipts  will  be  recorded  in  the  Grand  Treasurer's  report  or  the 
Auditor's  statement  under  "Printing  For  Resale". 

This  is  the  first  year  extra  copies  of  the  Proceedings  were 
made  available  for  resale  to  anyone  other  than  those  on  the  ap- 
proved mailing  list,  at  $5.00  each.  While  only  a  limited  number 
were  purchased,  it  is  a  start,  the  trend  will  no  doubt  accelerate  in 
succeeding  years,  the  revenue  from  which  will  assist  somewhat  in 
offsetting  overall  increased  printing  costs. 

The  inventory  of  Books  for  resale  as  of  April  30th.  1978  is  as 
follows: 

The  Work      7700 

Meeting  the  Challenge     7740 

The  First  Grand  Master      2236 

Beyond  the  Pillars      3000 

Again  your  Committee  solicits  the  support  of  Grand  Lodge 
and  Lodge  Officers  to  encourage  the  sale  of  the  three  aforemen- 
tioned publications.  We  need  a  steady  increase  in  sales  and  believe 
that  with  effort  a  much  wider  distribution  is  possible.  These  excel- 
lent books  should  be  in  the  hands  of  younger  members,  as  they  af- 
ford an  insight  into  the  history  and  tenets  of  our  Order. 

It  is  obvious  in  to-day's  troubled  world  that  our  confusions 
arise  through  a  loss  of  a  sense  of  beginnings.  We  have  no 
theological  sense,  no  feeling  of  coming  from  somewhere,  and  going 
somewhere.  Everything  is  present  and  chaotic  and  overwhelming. 
Like  religion,  Masonry  affords  an  assurance  of  order  and  progress 
and  growth,  a  dimension  to  understanding  much  needed  in  our 
time.  Your  Committee  believes  that  these  books  now  available  to 
our  Craft  provide  a  reading  source  invaluable  to  a  better  under- 
standing and  deeper  appreciation  of  the  lifetime  commitment  to 
values  founded  on  Masonic  teachings. 


100     GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA  ANNUAL  COMMUNICATION 

We  would  like  to  express  our  thanks  to  the  Grand  Secretary, 
Most  Wor.  Bro.  J.  A.  Irvine  and  his  dedicated  staff  for  their  co- 
operation, efficiency  and  dispatch  in  having  available  adequate 
supplies  of  quality  printed  supplies  to  meet  the  demands  of  the 
Grand  Lodge  office,  the  committee  of  Grand  Lodge,  and  Con- 
stituent Lodges  throughout  the  year. 

Respectfully  and  fraternally  submitted, 

HOWARD  O.  POLK, 

Chairman. 

REPORT  OF  THE  COMMITTEE  ON 
MASONIC  EDUCATION 

This  Report  was  presented  by  R.W.  Bro.  W.  E. 
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  Committee  on 
Masonic  Education,  begs  leave  to  report  as  follows: 

The  Committee  was  composed  of  M.W.  Bros.  W.  L.  Wright, 
J.  A.  Irvine,  W.  K.  Bailey,  and  R.  W.  Bros.  N.  R.  Richards,  J.  N. 
Smyth,  K.  M.  Boyd,  V.  E.  Young,  A.  Walton,  E.  Sisel,  A.  L. 
Copeland,  C.  C.  Lillico,  D.  E.  Magee,  C.  A.  Sankey,  E.  C.  Steen, 
A.  Youngs,  and  J.  J.  Talman,  with  the  undersigned  as  Chairman. 

In  1929  the  Grand  Master,  M.W.  Bro.  John  S.  Martin,  pen- 
ned the  following  words.  "I  am  firmly  convinced  that  the  time  has 
come  when  something  more  definite  and  constructive  should  be  ac- 
complished in  the  line  of  Masonic  education  ...  A  few  rudimen- 
tary lessons  in  architecture,  a  few  elementary  instructions  in  sym- 
bolism, imperfectly  prepared  and  understood,  a  few  casual  hints  in 
moral  dogma  are  no  longer  enough  .  .  ."  He  recommended  the  es- 
tablishment of  a  committee,  to  investigate  the  objectives,  the  sub- 
ject matter,  and  the  administration  of  Masonic  Education.  From 
his  impulse  came  in  due  course  your  present  committee. 


TORONTO,  ONTARIO.  1978  101 

Sometimes  it  seems  that  Grand  Lodge  is  not  very  relevant  to 
Masons  of  today.  The  important  work  in  the  Craft  is  carried  out 
by  individual  brethren  at  the  level  of  the  constituent  lodge.  It  is  ut- 
terly impossible  for  your  committee  to  come  into  personal  contact 
with  any  more  than  a  few  brethren.  That  is  why  our  chief  task  has 
always  been  to  distribute  information,  to  provide  guidance  and  in- 
spiration, and  to  act  as  a  clearing  house. 

In  one  way  or  another,  many  brethren  are  involved  in  the 
process.  The  Grand  Master,  the  Deputy  Grand  Master,  and  the 
District  Deputy  Grand  Masters  have  presented  innumerable 
provocative  and  stimulating  talks.  The  Grand  Secretary  has  been  a 
regular  and  dependable  tower  of  strength.  The  Grand  Chaplain  has 
been  noted  for  his  thoughtful  and  inspiring  addresses.  The  Library 
Committee,  under  its  Chairman,  R.  W.  Bro.  M.  J.  Damp,  con- 
tinues to  supervise  this  great  data  bank.  The  Custodian  of  the 
Work  has  travelled  all  over  this  jurisdiction,  giving  guidance  to  the 
District  Deputy  Grand  Masters  and  holding  Lodges  of  Instruction. 

In  recent  years  Grand  Lodge  has  published  a  lot  of 
educational  material:  "A  Functional  Pronouncing  Glossary  of  the 
Work"  (1967,  re-issued  1970),  Beyond  the  Pillars  (1973).  the  new 
edition  of  First  Grand  Master  (1974),  the  new  booklets  for  the  in- 
formation of  the  petitioner  and  the  candidates  ( 1 975),  and  Meeting 
the  Challenge  (1976).  Since  1974,  authorized  copies  of  The  Work 
have  been  available  for  purchase  by  any  Master  Mason  who  has 
proved  himself.  Annually  the  Grand  Secretary's  Office  prepares 
current  editions  of  the  Book  of  Constitution  and  the  Proceedings 
of  Grand  Lodge.  For  many  years  R.  W.  Bro.  J.  J.  Talman  has 
abstracted  the  reports  of  other  jurisdictions  for  inclusion  in  the 
Fraternal  Reviews;  this  year  the  task  has  been  taken  over  by  R.  W. 
Bro.  C.  A.  Sankey.  M.W.  Bro.  W.  K.  Bailey  has  compiled  a  useful 
handbook  entitled  "Guide  Lines  for  Officers  in  Lodge 
Ceremonies"  (1975).  These  publications  are  all  available. 

A  team  of  contributors  is  working  on  a  new  History  of  Grand 
Lodge,  which  is  scheduled  to  appear  in  1980.  Another  committee 
has  been  deeply  involved  in  a  much-needed  revision  of  the  Book  of 
Constitution;  it  has  invited  the  assistance  of  every  lodge  in  the 
province,  and  has  received  responses  from  many. 

This  year  your  Committee,  on  a  trial  basis,  has  begun  publica- 
tion of  an  Education  Letter.  Four  issues  were  produced.  The  first 
one  went  to  every   District,  and  the  other  three  (through  the 


102     GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA  ANNUAL  COMMUNICATION 

courtesy  of  the  District  Deputy  Grand  Masters)  were  placed  in 
every  lodge.  It  is  brief  and  casual,  packed  with  interesting  facts  and 
informal  advice.  Among  the  topics  this  year  were: 

(1)  Twelve  questions  for  use  in  lodge; 

(2)  Police  interrogation:  the  "Third  Degree;" 

(3)  The  Question  Box; 

(4)  Books  for  Speakers; 

(5)  The  Ceremony  of  Installation  and  Investiture; 

(6)  Our  Duty  to  the  New  Mason:  Step  by  Step; 

(7)  The  Secret  of  Masonry; 

(8)  The  General  Charge; 

(9)  A  Masonic  Quiz; 

(10)  Draft  of  the  proposed  Revision  of  the  B.  of  C; 

(11)  A  400- Year  Old  Acrostic; 

(12)  The  Shield  of  Grand  Lodge; 

(13)  A  Gravestone  at  Jordan  Station; 

(14)  A  Mason  for  over  94  Years; 

(15)  Corner  Stone  Laying; 

(16)  Active  Lodges  founded  before  1850; 

(17)  The  Heritage  Lodge. 

Many  brethren  have  submitted  material,  but  we  want  to  mention 
those  whose  suggestions  were  used  this  year:  M.W.  Bros.  W.  K. 
Bailey,  J.  A.  Irvine;  R.  W.  Bros.  L.  D.  Barrett,  F.  J.  Bruce,  A. 
Walton,  R.  C.  Ward;  W.  Bros.  W.  H.  Allen  (St.  John's,  No.  68),  J. 
G.  Baker  (Mizpah,  No.  572),  R.  J.  L.  Butler  (Ivy,  No.  115),  M.  H. 
Devins  (Composite,  No.  667),  and  B.  Thurston  (Vaughan,  No.  54). 
We  need  your  help!  Keep  the  material  coming. 

A  particularly  happy  omen  was  the  formation  under  dispensa- 
tion of  The  Heritage  Lodge,  expressly  for  the  purpose  of  learning 
and  teaching  about  Masonry.  There  were  four  regular  meetings 
during  the  year,  with  the  programmes  hinting  at  a  broad  spectrum 
of  possible  activities: 

(1)  Ceremony  of  Institution; 

(2)  A  paper  on  "The  Old  Charges"  (subsequently  published 
in  the  lodge's  Proceedings); 

(3)  A    lecture,    with    slides,    on    the    George    Washington 
Masonic  Memorial; 

(4)  A  dramatization  version  of  the  Ritual  of  the  1770's. 

The  officers  and  members  of  this  new  lodge  deserve  our  thanks, 
especially  V.W.  Bro.  Jacob  Pos,  who  has  long  laboured  to  realize 
this  dream  of  his. 


TORONTO,  ONTARIO,  1978  103 

The  Districts  have  a  better  chance  than  does  Grand  Lodge  to 
reach  the  individual  Mason.  The  District  Deputy  Grand  Master  is 
close  to  the  grassroots;  he  knows  what  will  appeal  to  the  Masons  in 
his  area,  and  he  knows  what  talent  is  available.  Some  Districts  held 
Workshops.  Others  experimented  with  programmes  made  up  of 
several  short  presentations,  to  keep  the  attention  of  the  brethren. 
Question-and-Answer  Sessions  are  increasing  in  popularity — a 
format  which  bridges  the  gulf  between  a  workshop  and  an  old- 
fashioned  education  night.  We  heard  of  sessions  devoted  to 
Masonic  History  (Eastern  and  Muskoka-Parry  Sound),  to  Sym- 
bolism ("The  Making  of  a  Mason"  in  the  combined  London 
Districts;  "The  Symbolism  of  the  Three  Degrees,"  Ontario; 
Masonic  Regalia,  Toronto  6  and  7),  and  to  Lodge  Administration 
(the  draft  revision  of  the  Constitution,  Georgian  and  London  East; 
"Governing  a  Lodge,"  Bruce  and  Georgian;  "Balloting  and 
Boards  of  Trial,"  North  Huron;  "Protocol  and  Etiquette,"  Bruce; 
"Committees  of  Enquiry,"  Georgian). 

The  play's  the  thing  wherein  we'll  catch  the  imagination  of  the 
brethren;  and  so  the  Ritual  of  1759  was  performed  in  Niagara  A, 
and  "Masonry  on  Trial,"  a  script  by  W.  Bro.  George  Blackie  and 
Bro.  Brian  B.  Thurston  which  has  received  mention  ere  now  in 
these  pages,  was  put  on  in  Hamilton  and  Ottawa. 

A  good  speaker  can  still  kindle  an  audience.  R.W.  Bro.  Peter 
de  Karwin  gave  a  multi-media  presentation  in  Toronto.  In  May  W. 
Bro.  Harry  Carr,  the  dean  of  Masonic  teachers,  was  in  Toronto, 
and  talked  to  most  of  the  Districts  there  about  the  Transition  from 
Operative  to  Speculative  Masonry,  and  about  Evolution  of  our 
Ritual. 

Becoming  a  successful  Master  does  not  just  happen.  Several 
Districts  have  active  programmes  which  are  intended  to  improve 
the  chances.  Toronto  1  held  a  series  of  Wardens'  Workshops,  and 
Toronto  3  conducted  a  Deacons'  Programme.  R.W.  Bro.  C.  John 
Woodburn  and  W.  Bro.  William  Robinson  have  continued  to  ad- 
minister a  Speakers'  Training  Programme,  under  the  direction  of 
Bro.  Donald  McRea  at  Seneca  College. 

Many  of  the  Districts  have  sent  us  copies  of  the  information 
that  has  been  distributed  to  their  lodges.  Some  of  it  is  outstanding, 
and  merits  particular  mention.  From  Toronto  4,  R.W.  Bro.  Alvin 
W.  Hawley  has  deposited  with  the  Committee  copies  of  nearly 
thirty  brief  papers  prepared  by  his  Education  Committee.  And 
from  Toronto  3,  R.W.  Bro.  Frank  J.  Bruce  has  provided  a  wealth 


104     GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA  ANNUAL  COMMUNICATION 

of  superb  material:  two  sets  of  questions  and  answers  by  W.  Bro. 
Harry  Carr,  a  collection  of  sixty  book  reviews  prepared  by  the 
Library  Committee  and  selected  by  W.  Bro.  Brian  McWhirter, 
and  a  splendid  Deacons'  Programme  put  together  by  a  team  under 
the  direction  of  R.W.  Bro.  David  C.  Bradley.  The  last  in  particular 
looks  extremely  useful,  and  we  hope  to  find  some  way  to  give  it 
wider  currency. 

We  have  one  or  two  observations  about  Education  at  the 
District  level.  It's  hard  to  do  much  in  Northern  Ontario,  because  of 
the  distances  involved;  but  in  the  South,  there's  no  reason  why 
every  District  should  not  have  an  active  programme.  The  key  to 
the  venture  is  involvement;  don't  make  it  a  one  man  show.  There 
should  be  a  certain  measure  of  continuity;  if  your  District  Super- 
visor has  done  a  good  job,  and  is  willing  to  continue  for  another 
year,  there's  no  reason  to  change. 

It  is  at  the  lodge  level  that  the  most  effective  work  can  be 
done.  We  are  often  asked  where  to  get  speakers  for  lodges.  For  a 
start,  you  can  invite  members  of  the  Board  of  General  Purposes, 
who  are  devoted  and  well-informed  Masons.  Soon  you  will  be  able 
to  get  further  suggestions  from  The  Heritage  Lodge.  But  is  it 
necessary  to  go  so  far  afield?  If  you  tell  a  brother  one  fact  he 
doesn't  know,  and  he  remembers  it,  and  it  gives  him  a  new  insight, 
you  are  teaching  him.  If  you  have  one  piece  of  information  that 
your  brethren  don't,  if  you  can  present  it  to  them  in  an  interesting 
way,  and  if  it  makes  them  look  at  their  Masonry  in  a  different 
light,  then  you  are  well  on  the  way  to  becoming  a  Masonic  lecturer. 
And  you  will  improve  with  practice!  For  a  start,  each  of  you  at 
your  leisure  might  read  through  the  reports  which  appear  in  this 
year's  Preliminary  Proceedings,  and  bring  the  highlights  to  the  at- 
tention of  your  lodge. 

What  of  the  future?  The  Committee  on  Masonic  Education 
exists  to  serve  Masonry,  but  it's  hard  to  operate  in  a  vacuum.  You. 
the  brethren  whom  we  serve,  are  not  very  good  at  telling  us  what 
you  want.  When  we  produced  Meeting  the  Challenge,  we  invited 
your  reactions,  but  the  response  has  been  pitiful.  Every  issue  of  the 
Education  Letter  has  appealed  for  your  help  and  guidance,  but  to 
little  avail.  Your  Committee  has  some  idea  of  the  type  of  material 
it  would  like  to  prepare  and  distribute:  a  Speaker's  Manual  (and 
we  don't  mean  a  collection  of  ready-made  talks);  Guide  lines  for 
running  a  Workshop;  further  advice  on  how  to  memorize  The 
Work;  a  Deacons'  Programme  similar  to  that  used  with  such  suc- 
cess in  Toronto  District  3.  Would  it  be  useful  for  groups  of  lodges 


TORONTO.  ONTARIO.  1978  105 

to  set  up  classes  of  instruction  for  Entered  Apprentices,  Fellow 
Crafts,  and  Master  Masons?  What  do  you  want?  We  don't  know  if 
you  don't  tell  us. 

We  pay  lip-service  to  a  belief  in  the  need  for  education.  Every 
Mason  is  exhorted  "without  neglecting  the  ordinary  duties  of  your 
station  to  consider  yourself  called  on  to  make  a  daily  advancement 
in  Masonic  knowledge."  How  many  of  us  do  so? 

The  great  William  Preston,  the  Scots  journeyman  printer  who 
wrote  so  much  of  the  ritual  that  we  still  use,  said:  "When  I  first  had 
the  honour  to  be  elected  master  of  a  lodge,  I  thought  it  my  duty  to 
inform  myself  more  fully  of  the  general  rules  of  the  society;  in 
order  that  I  might  be  able  to  explain  to  the  brethren  under  my 
direction,  their  utility  and  importance;  and  officially  to  enforce  a 
due  obedience  in  them."  It  sounds  reasonable,  doesn't  it?  How  can 
we  hope  to  be  effective  rulers  in  the  Craft,  how  can  we  employ  and 
instruct  the  brethren  in  Masonry,  if  we  don't  know  what  the  Craft 
is?  Yet  how  many  of  us  as  Masters  make  any  effort  to  learn'.' 

Hear  the  words  of  the  immortal  Carl  H.  Claudy.  "One  ihing 
and  only  one  thing  a  Masonic  lodge  can  give  its  members  which 
they  can  get  nowhere  else  in  the  world.  That  one  thing  is  Masonry 
...The  Master  whose  instruction  programme  is  strictly  Masonic 
has  to  send  to  the  basement  for  extra  chairs  for  most  of  his 
meetings." 

In  that  context,  how  are  we  doing?  Well,  there  is  lots  of 
material  available,  but  sometimes  it  is  not  very  well  used.  Again 
and  again  your  Committee  has  received  requests  for  information; 
we  are  always  glad  to  help,  but  often  the  answer  is  already 
available  in  Beyond  the  Pillars  or  Meeting  the  Challenge.  There 
are  still  lodges  that  are  not  using  the  new  booklets  for  the  can- 
didates. Is  every  Worshipful  Master  giving  those  brethren  who 
wish  to  assist  in  The  Work  an  opportunity  to  prove  their 
proficiency?  Even  the  District  Education  Meetings  we  visited  were 
sometimes  frustrating.  They  were  well  planned,  well  attended;  but 
if  you  looked  around  the  room,  most  of  the  faces  belonged  to  the 
Old  Reliables,  the  Past  Masters  and  Past  Grand  Lodge  Officers. 
Where  were  the  Master  Masons?  Where  were  the  new  Masons'.' 
Yet  these,  surely,  are  the  ones  whom  we  must  reach. 

Are  we  doing  our  job?  How  many  of  our  brethren  know  what 
the  Craft  is,  and  what  it  stands  for?  Let  me  close  with  six  state- 
ments. Each  of  them  I  heard  somewhere  this  year.  I  shan't  tell  you 
who  said  them,  or  if  I  agree  with  them.  Listen  to  them,  think  about 
them,  decide  whether  they  are  right  or  wrong.

REPORT  OF  THE  COMMITTEE  ON 
GRIEVANCES  AND  APPEALS 

This  Report  was  presented  by  R.W.  Bro.  P.  S. 
MacKenzie,  Chairman;  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: 

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

I.     ESPANOLA  LODGE  No.  527  vs. 
BRO.  GERALD  STANLEY  SHEA 

The  Proceedings  of  this  Grand  Lodge  for  1977,  p.  130,  contain 
the  report  of  Previous  Proceedings  in  this  case. 

Bro.  Gerald  S.  Shea,  a  member  of  Espanola  Lodge,  No.  527 
was  convicted  of  manslaughter  and  sentenced  to  twelve  years  im- 
prisonment. 


TORONTO.  ONTARIO.  1978  107 

A  charge  of  unmasonic  conduct  was  laid  in  the  Lodge  under 
Rule  1  (p)  and  after  trial  the  Lodge  found  Bro.  Shea  guilty  of  the 
charge  as  laid  and  voted  for  indefinite  suspension  and  recom- 
mended to  Grand  Lodge  that  he  be  expelled. 

This  Grand  Lodge,  at  its  Annual  Communication  in  1977 
adopted  the  report  of  this  Committee  and  directed  that  Bro.  Shea 
be  notified  to  appear  at  this  Annual  Communication  to  show  cause 
why  he  should  not  be  expelled.  He  has  been  so  notified  but  he  has 
not  appeared.  Your  Committee  now  recommends  that  Bro.  Gerald 
Stanley  Shea  be  expelled. 

2.     PALACE  LODGE  No.  604  vs. 
JAMES  ROBERT  HODGINS. 

At  the  meeting  of  this  Committee  at  our  last  Annual  Com- 
munication, it  was  recommended  to  the  Grand  Master  that  Bro. 
Robert  Hodgins  be  suspended  by  him.  The  reason  therefore  was 
that  from  information  received  by  your  Committee  it  appeared 
that  Bro.  Hodgins  may  have  been  guilty  of  an  offence  under  Sec- 
tion 1  (s)  of  our  Rules.  Regardless  of  advice  forwarded  to  Palace 
Lodge  recommending  that  a  charge  be  laid  against  Bro.  Hodgins 
to  clear  up  the  persistent  reports  from  members  of  that  Lodge,  un- 
fortunately the  Lodge  did  not  see  fit  to  proceed.  Therefore  in  con- 
formity with  your  Committee's  recommendation  the  Grand 
Master  suspended  Bro.  Hodgins  as  of  November  15,  1977,  pur- 
suant to  Section  53  of  the  Constitution.  Bro.  Hodgins  was  in- 
formed at  that  time  he  would  have  an  opportunity  to  attend  this 
meeting  of  your  Committee  to  make  such  submissions  as  he  saw  fit 
with  regard  to  the  said  suspension.  He  has  offered  and  made 
representations  to  your  Committee,  both  verbally  and  with 
documentary  evidence  as  selected  by  him.  He  then  advised  your 
Committee  that  he  had  nothing  further  to  present. 

After  serious  lengthy  consideration  of  his  submissions,  your 
committee  voted  to  confirm  the  action  of  the  Grand  Master  and 
now  recommends  to  Grand  Lodge  that  Bro.  James  Robert 
Hodgins  be  expelled. 

Respectfully  and  fraternally  submitted, 

P.  S.  MacKENZIE. 

Chairman. 


I  OK     GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA  ANNUAL  COMMUNICATION 

REPORT  OF  THE  COMMITTEE  ON 
THE  CONDITION  OF  MASONRY 

This  report  was  presented  by  V.W.  Bro.  Norman  E. 
Bvrne,  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: 

It  is  with  pleasure  that  your  Committee  reports  to  this  Grand 
Lodge  on  the  Condition  of  Masonry  as  found  and  reported  on  by 
the  many  dedicated  District  Deputy  Grand  Masters  during  the  past 
twelve  months  in  the  Province  of  Ontario. 

Without  exception,  each  representative  of  our  beloved  Grand 
Master  has  had  a  busy  active  year  as  he  went  about  his  and  other 
Districts  under  the  proud  blue  banner  of  Grand  Lodge,  completing 
his  duties  and  responsibilities  so  as  to  enable  him  to  assess  in  his 
own  mind  the  state  of  Masonry  as  he  found  it. 

Each  one  has  considered  this  opportunity  to  become  directly 
involved  in  the  workings  of  our  grand  jurisdiction  and  to  labour 
tirelessly  for  the  good  of  the  craft,  a  unique  privilege  and  has  ex- 
pressed his  gratitude  to  those  who  elected  him  to  that  high  office 
and  to  our  Grand  Master  for  confirming  that  election. 

Your  Committee  would  be  remiss  in  its  duty  if,  on  behalf  of  us 
all,  it  did  not  extend  to  each  District  Deputy  Grand  Master  our 
sincere  gratitude  and  heartfelt  thanks  for  a  job  so  well  done. 

It  is  not  uncommon,  in  an  organization  as  vast  as  that  of 
Freemasonry  in  Ontario  to  discover  in  some  of  the  reports  of  the 
District  Deputy  Grand  Masters,  expressions  of  caution  and  con- 
cern for  various  facets  of  masonic  life. 

As  ever,  there  is  much  concern,  and  in  many  cases,  construc- 
tive and  instructive  criticism  is  made  with  respect  to  those  matters 
which  may  tend  to  allow  a  casual  attitude  or  a  complacency  to 
creep  into  our  degree  work  to  the  specific  detriment  of  candidates 
for  our  order. 


TORONTO.  ONTARIO.  I97X  KW 

Your  Committee  in  its  summary,  points  out  that  time  spent  in 
preparation  of  ritual  work  with  other  masons  participating,  is 
repaid  three-fold. 

Firstly,  it  gives  to  each  brother  who  has  undertaken  some  part 
of  the  work,  a  feeling  of  satisfaction  on  completion  of  a  portion  of 
the  degree  which  has  been  well  delivered.  Excellence,  we  are  told, 
comes  from  repeated  efforts  alone  and  without  that  labour  of  love, 
there  can  be  no  just  reward. 

Secondly,  it  necessarily  involves  a  brother  with  his  fellow 
man,  all  bent  on  achieving  one  great  end  to  the  enlightenment  of  a 
new  candidate  and  the  betterment  of  all.  A  chance  to  work 
together  in  close  harmony  and  well  being,  to  get  to  know  a  brother 
well  and  to  share  with  him  experiences  we  all  find  pleasurable. 

Thirdly,  and  by  no  means  last,  it  can  have  nothing  but  a  good 
effect  on  our  candidates.  It  demonstrates  to  them  that  masonry  is 
not  just  words  and  phrases,  movements  and  demonstration,  but  in 
fact  is  a  viable  example  of  the  good,  the  just,  the  right,  that  our 
beloved  fraternity  has  come  to  stand  for  all  around  the  world.  He 
listens  intently  to  all  he  hears  for  its  language  delights  him.  its  mes- 
sages inspire  him  and  he  begins  to  learn  and  feel  that  he  is  part  of  a 
great  brotherhood  of  man  under  the  fatherhood  of  God. 

There  has  been  a  marked  increase  in  the  opportunities 
available  to  every  mason  to  broaden  his  masonic  knowledge  and 
experience  by  being  exposed  to.  or  participating  in  the  numerous 
programs  of  masonic  education  that  are  offered.  Your  Committee 
acknowledges  the  debt  that  is  owed  to  the  many  District  Chairmen 
of  Masonic  Education  committees  under  the  capable  direction  of 
R.W.  Bro.  Wallace  McLeod.  Chairman  of  the  Grand  Lodge  Com- 
mittee on  Masonic  Education.  All  have  promoted,  organized  and 
encouraged  involvement  in  every  brother  mason  in  the  workshops, 
lodges  of  instructions,  short  talks  and  visual  presentations.  There  is 
a  wealth  of  information  so  readily  available  through  the  Grand 
Lodge  Library  and  aided  by  interesting  speakers  and  "grass  roots" 
masons  who  are  directed  by  district  committees  on  Masonic 
Education  that  the  Worshipful  Master  of  every  lodge  in  this 
jurisdiction  should,  and  most  have,  availed  themselves  and  their 
lodges  of  wonderful  opportunities  to  increase  in  masonic 
knowledge  and  at  the  same  time,  present  tremendously  interesting 
evenings  of  learning  and  good  fellowship. 

Some  Masters  have  regularly  included  in  the  Lodge  Summons 
a  short  article  of  masonic  lore  or  historical  facts  so  that  everv 


110     GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA  ANNUAL  COMMUN  CATION 

brother  need  only  read  his  lodge  bulletin  to  learn  new  facts  and  un- 
derstand masonic  philosophy. 

Waterloo  District  is  to  be  congratulated  in  its  one  day  seminar 
entitled  "Involvement  '78  -  Getting  More  Out  of  Masonry"  where 
the  key  note  speaker  was  our  own  Grand  Secretary,  M.W.  Bro. 
Jack  Irvine. 

The  brethren  in  Toronto  District  7  prepared  and  presented  a 
dramatic  presentation  of  a  masonic  trial.  The  great  amount  of 
work  and  organization  required  to  carry  this  out  was  well 
worthwhile  as  many  brethren  saw  a  "real  life"  example  of 
"Masonry  on  trial".  The  "trial"  was  presented  to  Hamilton 
District  "B"  as  part  of  their  masonic  education  effort  and  was  very 
well  received.  Your  Committee  hopes  that  the  "trial  team"  will 
continue  their  efforts  in  the  coming  year  so  that  many  others  will 
have  an  opportunity  to  see  this  enlightening  presentation. 

Workshops  and  seminars  have  been  presented  in  several  dis- 
tricts for  junior  officers  of  the  lodges.  This  affords  prospective 
Masters  an  exciting  opportunity  to  understand  and  respond  to  the 
responsibilities  of  office  and  acquire  timely  knowledge  that  will 
serve  them  well  as  they  advance  through  the  chairs  of  their  lodge  in 
the  service  of  the  Craft.  Your  Committee  is  of  the  opinion  that 
after  several  years  of  tireless  work,  organization  and  persevering 
promotion,  masonic  education  has  become  a  regular  item  in  each 
lodge's  program. 

In  these  times  of  rapidly  accelerating  costs  and  spiralling 
prices,  all  of  us  become  acutely  aware  of  "the  shrinking  dollar". 
Many  lodges  have  heeded  past  advice  and  have  increased  their  dues 
and  initiation  fees  to  try  to  keep  pace  with  ever  increasing  ex- 
penses. Some  lodges  still  maintain  an  outmoded  dues  structure  and 
your  Committee  hopes  that  each  lodge  will,  at  least  bi-annually, 
review  their  monetary  situation  and  compare  receipts  with  ex- 
penses to  avoid  a  calamity  which  might  be  just  around  the  corner. 
Many  lodges  have  formed  Finance  Committees  and  have  learned 
the  value  of  a  working  Committee  keeping  on  top  of  this  painful 
subject.  Care  must  be  taken  to  manage  lodge  finances  as  carefully 
as  one  should  manage  one's  own  personal  money  situation  and  the 
concept  of  "two  heads  are  better  than  one"  has  proven  itself  where 
the  Finance  Committee  is  an  ongoing  and  working  committee. 

On  the  other  hand,  restraint  and  caution  are  advised  that  by 
increasing  dues  we  do  not  work  hardship  on  our  older  brethren 
who  may  be  living  on  a  fixed  income  against  which  are  made  in- 


TORONTO.  ONTARIO,  1978  II! 

creasing  demands.  It  is  suggested  that  individual  cases  of  extreme 
hardship  which  could  result  in  a  brother  applying  for  a  demit 
should  be  handled  on  an  individual  or  specific  basis  by  each  lodge. 

One  of  the  District  Deputy  Grand  Masters  reports  contained 
an  interesting  breakdown  of  receipts,  expenditures  profit  or  loss 
and  outstanding  dues  on  an  amount  per  member. 

One  can  readily  compare  costs  and  financing  very  easily  when 
examined  on  this  basis  and  numbers  and  dollars  when  correlated  in 
this  manner  take  on  an  even  greater  significance.  Budgeting  can  be 
more  easily  envisioned  when  the  lodge  knows  that  outstanding 
dues  and  an  excess  of  expenditures  over  receipts  are  costing  each 
and  every  member  a  specific  amount.  Your  Committee  encourages 
this  manner  of  reporting  and  suggests  that  if  every  Worshipful 
Master  examined  his  own  lodge's  records  in  this  way,  he  might  well 
realize  dramatically  the  need  for  any  apparent  revisions. 

Some  lodges  are  finding  that  inadequately  financed  life 
memberships  have  become  a  serious  burden.  Your  Committee 
recommends  great  caution  in  establishing  life  memberships  as  this 
dues  structure,  if  not  properly  amortized,  will  cause  severe 
hardships  for  the  brethren  in  future  years. 

Your  Committee  notes  that  the  efforts  of  the  blood  donors 
committee  in  each  district,  under  the  most  capable  direction  of 
R.W.  Bro.  Rod  Connor,  Chairman  of  the  Grand  Lodge  Commit- 
tee on  blood  donors,  is  continuing  to  keep  this  area  of  service  ever 
before  our  membership  on  a  continuing  basis.  Clinics,  District 
Trophies,  a  tour  of  a  Red  Cross  Bank  and  special  events  remind  us 
all  of  our  responsibility  to  our  fellow  man,  where  a  little  bit  of  our 
time  and  our  life  giving  blood  can  mean  the  difference  between  life 
and  death  to  a  fellow  human  being. 

One  lodge  has  prepared  an  information  card  for  each  of  its 
members,  setting  out  details  of  name,  address,  telephone  number, 
blood  type  and  frequency  of  donation  which  can  be  kept  on  file  as  a 
ready  reference  for  the  lodge  blood  donor  Chairman,  who  in  turn, 
in  times  of  emergency,  can  call  on  a  brother  to  make  a  "special" 
donation  to  help  ease  a  difficult  situation. 

Quite  a  few  districts  have  formed  Masonic  Foundation  com- 
mittees whose  task  has  been  to  keep  this  worthy  cause  before  us  on 
a  regular  basis.  More  will  be  brought  forward  by  the  Masonic 
Foundation  special  committee  on  H.E.L.P.  at  this  communication 
which  your  Committee  recommends  to  all. 


112     GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA  ANNUAL  COMMUNICATION 

Each  year  sees  all  of  us  grow  one  year  older  and  for  some 
lodges,  this  past  masonic  year  has  proved  a  milestone  in  their 
masonic  life.  Your  Committee  heartily  congratulates  those  lodges 
who  have  weathered  the  storm  and  still  sail  on  serenely,  proud  of 
their  heritage  and  ever  mindful  of  years  of  wonderful  memories. 
Your  Committee  says  "Happy  Birthday"  to  King  Hiram  Lodge 
No  37  on  the  occasion  of  its  175th  Anniversary  and  to  St. 
George's  Lodge  No.  42,  St.  Thomas  Lodge  No.  44,  St.  James 
Lodge  No.  73  on  their  125th  Anniversary. 

The  following  lodges  were  entitled  to  emblazen  their  regalia 
with  the  glitter  of  gold  on  attaining  100  years  of  service  to  the 
Craft.  We  congratulate: 

River  Park  Lodge  No.  356 
Waverley  Lodge  No.  361 
Dufferin  Lodge  No.  364 
St.  George  Lodge  No.  367 
Salem  Lodge  No.  368 
Mimico  Lodge  No.  369 

In  this  area  of  Grand  Lodge  recognition  of  service  to 
masonry,  all  District  Deputy  Grand  Masters  report  the  great  per- 
sonal pleasure  they  derive  as  they  present  long  service  medals  to 
those  distinguished  brethren  who  have  served  their  Craft  for  50  and 
60  years.  We  all  owe  great  respect  for  their  accumulated  wisdom 
and  your  Committee,  on  your  behalf,  publicly  congratulates  each 
and  every  brother  who  is  now  privileged  to  wear  proudly  a  jewel  to 
evidence  his  devotion  to  duty  over  half  a  century.  One  District 
Deputy  Grand  Master  has  made  a  personal  practice  of  inviting 
those  brethren  whom  Grand  Lodge  has  so  honoured,  to  sit  with 
him  in  the  East  as  a  special  mark  of  affection  and  respect. 

We  are  all  concerned  with  some  indication  that  lodge  atten- 
dance in  some  areas  has  declined,  usually  accompanied  by  declin- 
ing membership  and  a  reduction  in  candidates.  There  is  no  easy 
answer  for  this  persistent  problem.  Each  Master  and  his  officers 
must  make  it  their  paramount  duty  to  wage  war  on  this  insiduous 
enemy.  Lack  of  parking  facilities,  long  flights  of  stairs,  inclement 
weather,  great  distances,  late  meetings  are  some  obvious  answers 
but  your  Committee  suggests  that  proper  planning,  interesting 
lodge  programs,  prompt  and  timely  termination  of  meetings, 
prompt  dispatch  of  the  business  portion  of  the  meeting,  involve- 
ment of  more  "side  benchers"  in  the  work  of  the  evening, 
membership  phone  and  transportation  committees,  increased 
lodge  and  district  visitations,  informative  materials  to  stimulate  in- 


TORONTO.  ONTARIO.  1978  113 

terest,  easily  read  and  imaginative  lodge  notices,  attention  to  the 
delivery  of  good  ritual  and  just  plain  good  hard  work  by  the  of- 
ficers can  sometimes  work  wonders  and  reduce  or  overcome  com- 
placency in  those  brethren  who  need  encouragement  to  come  to 
lodge. 

Again,  your  Committee  recommends  that  each  lodge  examine 
carefully  its  inventory  of  young  masons  who  may  be  potential  of- 
ficer material.  Giving  a  new  mason  duties  and  responsibilities  that 
he  is  easily  able  to  cope  with,  assisted  by  personal  guidance  and  en- 
couragement from  more  experienced  brethren  can  sometimes  un- 
cover hidden  talent  that  will  serve  the  lodge  well  in  the  future.  We 
must  continually  look  to  our  younger  members  for  it  is  from  their 
ranks  that  the  masonic  leaders  of  tomorrow  will  come. 

In  every  district  in  our  grand  jurisdiction,  wherever  our 
beloved  Grand  Master  has  been  received  by  his  brethren,  the 
District  Deputy  Grand  Masters  report  enthusiastically  that  those 
occasions  have  been  the  highlight  of  the  year.  As  he  travels  far  and 
wide  in  Ontario  and  to  other  parts  of  our  great  country  and  to 
lands  beyond  our  borders,  he  inspires  all  with  his  good  humour,  his 
charm,  his  vitality  and  his  inspirational  messages  wherein  he  points 
out  the  great  advantages  that  we  each  have  by  adhering  to  the  prin- 
ciples and  tenets  of  our  great  fraternity  and  makes  us  all  so  proud 
that  he  is  our  Grand  Master  for  all  the  world  to  see.  May  the  Most 
High  guide  and  aid  him  as  he  discharges  in  such  a  splendid  fashion, 
the  great  responsibilities  that  are  his. 

In  closing  this  report,  your  Committee  expresses  its  gratitude 
and  congratulates  all  who  have  worked  so  tirelessly  for  the  ad- 
vancement of  our  cause  in  this  past  masonic  year,  the  District 
Deputy  Grand  Masters,  the  District  Secretaries,  the  District 
Chaplains,  and  District  Committees  of  Benevolence,  Blood 
Donors  and  Masonic  Education  and  the  many  other  unsung  heroes 
without  whose  encouragement,  personal  effort  and  sacrifice  and 
great  dedication,  masonry  and  this  Grand  Lodge  would  not  have 
prospered. 

Your  Committee  finds  in  the  examination  of  the  accumulative 
reports  of  all  District  Deputy  Grand  Masters  that  the  Condition  of 
Masonry  in  this  grand  jurisdiction  is  sound,  stable  and  a  continu- 
ing influence  on  the  lives  of  men  from  all  walks  of  life.  There  have 
been  problems  and  uncertainties,  disappointments  and  times  of 
adversity,  but  the  united  efforts  of  all  who  stand  "Four  Square" 
"has  overcome  all  difficulties,  raised  ignorance  from  despair  and 
established  happiness  in  the  paths  of  science".

of  the  Grand  Lodge,  A.F.  &  A.M.  of  Canada,  in  the  Province

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  Fifteenth  Annual  Meeting  of  the  Foundation  which 
was  held  at  9:30  a.m.,  Tuesday,  July  18,  1978  in  the  Royal  York 
Hotel,  Toronto. 

At  the  end  of  the  fiscal  year,  April  30,  1978,  total  assets  were 
$310,320.17,  an  increase  of  $55,929.50  from  one  year  ago. 
Included  in  the  assets  are  bonds  having  a  cost  value  of  $302,390.00 
and  par  value  of  $310,000.00.  Interest  from  investments  was 
$19,399.26,  an  increase  of  $3,522.74  over  the  past  year. 

Disbursements  for  the  year  were  $8,800.00  in  bursaries, 
$2,000.00  to  the  Multiple  Sclerosis  Society  of  Canada  (Ontario

Bursaries  were  awarded  to  16  students  in  13  universities  and 
colleges.  We  are  indebted  to  James  J.  Talman  for  assuming  the 
responsibility  for  adjudicating  the  requests  for  financial  assistance. 
Gratitude  is  extended  to  the  District  Deputy  Grand  Masters  and 
members  of  the  Board  of  General  Purposes  for  making  arrange- 
ments for  the  presentations  of  the  awards  in  person.  May  I  on  your 
behalf  express  sincere  appreciation  to  T.  John  Arthur  for  attending 
so  ably  to  all  the  correspondence  in  connection  with  the  acknowl- 
edgements of  the  contributions  to  the  Fund. 

We  present  a  sampling  of  the  expressions  of  gratitude  from 
college  personnel  and  students. 

"Your  program  is  particularly  beneficial  to  the  Community 
Colleges  system  where  there  are  no  significant  trust  funds  donated 
by  grateful  alumni  to  fall  back  on." 

"It  came  at  a  most  opportune  time  as  it  enabled  me  to  con- 
tinue my  course  in  theology  without  further  financial  worry." 

"I  know  the  principles  upon  which  the  Masonic  Order  is 
founded,  and  I  pray  that  I  may  exemplify  those  principles  in  my 
daily  life.  Please  be  assured  of  my  prayers  for  your  continuing 
work  of  helping  good  men  become  better." 

Plans  are  being  laid  for  a  financial  campaign  during  the 
forthcoming  year  to  mark  the  125th  anniversary  of  Grand  Lodge 
in  1980.  Each  Mason  in  this  Grand  jurisdiction  will  be  receiving

literature  outlining  the  aims  and  objectives  of  the  campaign.  The 
$350,000.00  which  we  expect  will  be  raised  will  be  directed  towards 
aiding  the  Ontario  Deafness  Research  Foundation  which  is  a  new 
Foundation  incorporated  as  of  May  1978.  PROJECT  H.  E.  L.  P. 
(Hearing  for  Every  Living  Person)  has  been  adopted  as  the  caption 
for  the  presentation  and  publicity  for  the  campaign.  You  will  be 
hearing  much  about  this  deserving  project  during  the 
communication  and  throughout  the  year  from  the  700  leaders  who 
have  agreed  to  assume  leading  roles.

REPORT  OF  THE  COMMITTEE  ON  THE 
GRAND  MASTER'S  ADDRESS 

This  report  was  presented  by  M.W.  Bro.  W.  L.  Wright, 
seconded  by  M.W.  Bro.  B.  B.  Foster,  it  was  received  and 
adopted. 

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

Brethren: 

The  Report  of  the  Committee  on  the  Grand  Master's  address 
is  to  give  recognition  to  the  highlights  of  his  presentation  and  to 
ask  for  the  approval  of  Grand  Lodge  in  the  recommendations  and 
decisions  of  the  Grand  Master.  The  approval  of  Grand  Lodge  is 
expressed  by  the  adoption  of  the  report  of  this  committee. 

First,  we  commend  the  Grand  Master  for  acknowledging  the 
presence  and  blessing  of  the  Most  High  as  he,  the  Grand  Master, 
has  sought  Divine  Guidance  in  the  discharge  of  his  duties.  His 
words  possess  sincere  conviction.  They  ring  true.  From  the  in- 
troduction to  the  conclusion  of  the  address,  the  qualities  of 
humility  and  dependence  on  the  Grace  of  God  are  predominant. 

In  welcoming  the  members  of  Grand  Lodge  to  the  123rd  An- 
nual Communication  he  is  cognizant  of  breaks  in  our  ranks 
through  death.  The  sincerity  of  the  Grand  Master's  tribute  to  those 
mentioned  by  name  applies  to  all  our  brethren  who  have  been  cal- 
led to  higher  service. 

Your  committee  approves  the  Grand  Master's  recommenda- 
tion that  Past  Rank  be  granted  to  those  Masters  of  Lodges,  who 
for  reasons  beyond  their  control,  were  unable  to  serve  as  Masters 
for  a  full  year.  We  also  approve  the  appointment  of  Most  Wor. 
Bro.  J.  N.  Allan  as  Grand  Treasurer,  who  succeeds  Most  Wor. 


118     GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA  ANNUAL  COMMUNICATION 

Bro.  M.  C.  Hooper,  a  distinguished  Mason  who  was  held  in  high 
esteem  by  all  members  of  the  Craft.  Most  Wor.  Bro.  Allan  brings 
to  the  office  of  Grand  Treasurer  maturity  of  skill  and  experience. 

We  share  with  the  Grand  Master  his  congratulations  of  the 
new  Masonic  Temple  of  St.  John's  Lodge  No.  17,  Cobourg  and 
convey  to  the  Worshipful  Master,  Officers  and  members  warmest 
fraternal  felicitations. 

The  committee  strongly  commends  the  Grand  Master  in  his 
reference  to  Masonic  Divine  Services.  The  witness  of  large 
numbers  of  the  brethren  at  Divine  Services  acknowledging  the 
Sovereignty  of  God  in  corporate  worship  is  fundamental  to  true 
masonic  belief  and  practice. 

The  list  of  special  events,  Lodge  Centennials,  District  Recep- 
tions and  Visitations  to  other  Grand  Lodges  and  Masonic  Bodies 
in  the  Grand  Master's  year  of  office,  is  formidable.  It  is  impossible 
to  comment  on  all  these  undertakings  but  your  committee  shares 
with  the  Grand  Master  the  joy  and  honour  which  was  his  as  he 
visited  the  Oshawa  Scottish  Rite  Club  and  shared  the  fellowship  of 
Her  Majesty's  loyal  representative  The  Hon.  Pauline  McGibbon, 
Lieutenant-Governor  of  Ontario. 

This  Grand  Lodge  joins  the  Grand  Master  in  his  rightful  pride 
in  being  welcomed  by  over  400  Masons  at  the  reception  given  by 
his  Mother  Lodge,  St.  Alban's  No.  200.  The  satisfaction  in 
presenting  Most  Wor.  Bro.  J.  A.  Irvine  our  genial  Grand  Secretary 
to  the  Conference  of  Grand  Masters  of  North  America  in 
Washington  on  the  occasion  of  the  election  of  Most  Wor.  Bro. 
Irvine  as  President  of  the  Conference  of  Grand  Secretaries  of 
North  America,  evokes  the  warmest  congratulations  of  this  entire 
Jurisdiction  to  one  of  our  most  dedicated  and  outstanding  Masons. 

Your  committee  heartily  endorses  the  sentiments  of  the 
Grand  Master  as  recognition  of  100  years  of  active  service  by  five 
lodges  is  listed.  We  join  him  in  his  tribute  to  those  faithful  brethren 
who  have  served  as  masons  for  70  years;  as  Past  Masters  for  60 
years;  and  last  but  not  least  to  Most  Wor.  Bro.  E.  G.  Dixon  and 
Rt.  Wor.  Bro.  Dr.  J.  R.  MacPherson  as  they  celebrate  their  50th 
Anniversaries  as  P. D. D.G.Ms. 

The  committee  on  the  Grand  Master's  address  desires  to 
acknowledge  the  tribute  paid  by  him  to  Past  Grand  Masters; 
District  Deputy  Grand  Masters;  the  Grand  Lodge  Officers  and  the 
members  of  the  Board  of  General  Purposes.  We  encourage  all 


TORONTO,  ONTARIO,  1978  119 

brethren  to  read  the  Grand  Master's  address  carefully  and  take 
note  of  those  personalities  who  are  giving  outstanding  leadership  to 
Freemasonry. 

Your  committee  supports  the  Grand  Master  in  his  recommen- 
dation that  as  of  July  20th,  1978,  concurrent  jurisdiction  be  es- 
tablished in  all  districts  "to  apply  across  the  length  and  breadth  of 
the  individual  district  and  shall  be  reviewed  after  a  two-year 
period". 

The  special  attention  of  the  brethren  is  invited  to  the  perusal 
of  the  following  sections: 

(a)  The  Masonic  Foundation  of  Ontario. 

(b)  The  125th  Anniversary  Celebration. 

(c)  Operation  Lifeline. 

(d)  Revision  of  the  Constitution. 

(e)  The  formation  of  a  Long  Range  Planning  Committee. 

The  revision  of  the  Constitution  has  been  of  herculean  propor- 
tions. The  Chairman,  Most  Wor.  Bro.  W.  K.  Bailey  and  his  com- 
mittee have  given  a  tremendous  amount  of  time  and  research  to 
this  venture.  Your  committee  agrees  wholeheartedly  with  the 
Grand  Master  as  he  reminds  us  of  the  strategic  task  being  under- 
taken by  Most  Wor.  Bro.  Bailey;  R.W.  Bro.  Charles  Emmett, 
Chairman  of  the  125th  Anniversary  Committee;  the  brethren  of 
the  seven  Toronto  Districts  in  raising  over  $50,000.00  for  Opera- 
tion Lifeline;  and  to  R.W.  Bro.  N.  R.  Richards  the  Deputy  Grand 
Master  who  with  others,  will  consider  future  guide  lines  for  the 
welfare  of  the  Craft. 

Our  Grand  Master  has  exercised  justice  and  prudence  in  the 
suspension  of  a  masonic  brother  mentioned  in  his  address.  Your 
committee  fully  approves  of  the  Grand  Master's  action  and  recom- 
mends that  it  be  confirmed  by  Grand  Lodge. 

We  recommend  that  Grand  Lodge  confirm  all  that  the  Grand 
Master  has  reported  in  his  address,  of  his  work  during  the  past 
year.  We  congratulate  him  most  sincerely  and  most  heartily  on  the 
contribution  he  has  made  within  our  Grand  Jurisdiction  and  out- 
side its  borders.  The  statesmanlike  qualities  evinced  in  the 
character  and  pronouncements  of  the  Head  of  the  Craft  have  cal- 
led forth  a  jubilant  loyalty  to  the  Grand  Master  and  to  the  Frater- 
nity which  he  has  so  skillfully  guided  in  his  first  year  of  office. 

All  honour  to  him.  May  the  Most  High  continue  to  grant 
wisdom  and  strength  to  our  beloved  leader  during  the  coming  year.

REPORT  OF  THE  LIBRARY  COMMITTEE 

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

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


Most  Worshipful  Sir  and  Brethren: 

I  am  privileged  to  present  this  the  46th  report  on  behalf  of  the 
Library  Committee  to  the  123rd  Annual  Communication  of  Grand 
Lodge. 

Your  Committee  was  composed  of  M.W.  Bro.  W.  K.  Bailey, 
R.  W.  Bros.  J.  J.  Talman,  C.  D.  MacKenzie,  S.  A.  Browell.  P.  A. 
Jordan,  F.  J.  Bruce,  A.  W.  Hawley,  A.  W.  Slade,  A.  J.  Anderson, 
W.  D.  Henderson  and  C.  W.  Emmett,  all  of  whom  have  been  most 
dedicated  and  rendered  invaluable  service  in  the  matter  of  promo- 
tion. 

In  our  humble  opinion,  the  Grand  Lodge  Library  has  served 
another  year  of  genuine  benefit  and  usefulness  to  Craft  Masonry 
and  we  hasten  to  attribute  any  success  it  may  have  achieved  to  the 
resourcefulness  and  untiring  efforts  of  a  host  of  dedicated  brethren. 
First  and  foremost  we  would  recognize  our  gracious  and  beloved 
Librarian,  Bro.  William  J.  McKee  of  Runnymede  Lodge,  No.  619, 
who  has  served  us  well  these  past  eleven  years.  Those  who  avail 
themselves  of  the  facilities  will  attest  to  his  skill,  his  humanity,  his 
kindness  and  forbearance. 

We  owe  an  immense  debt  of  gratitude  to  V.W.  Bro.  John 
Petherick  and  Bro.  J.  A.  Peddie  who  have  made  it  possible  for  the 


TORONTO.  ONTARIO.  1978  121 

Library  to  be  available  to  the  brethren  on  Wednesdays  and  Fridays 
during  the  noon-hour.  It  is  with  regret  that  we  record  the  passing  of 
our  dear  friend,  V.W.  Bro.  Charles  S.  G.ulston  in  his  tenth  year  as 
an  assistant  librarian.  He  will  be  sadly  missed  by  so  many  of  us 
who  looked  upon  him  as  our  chosen  critic  and  mentor  and  for- 
tunate to  be  nurtured  under  his  wealth  of  Masonic  knowledge  for 
our  very  existence  in  Freemasonry. 

For  the  twelve  month  period  ended  May  1,  1978,  270  visitors 
signed  the  register;  82  out-of-town  brethren  were  mailed  1 16  books 
and  148  brethren  from  the  Metropolitan  area  borrowed  220  books, 
making  a  grand  total  of  336  books  in  circulation,  all  of  which  com- 
pares favourably  with  past  years.  The  recorded  lectures  and  slide 
presentations  were  loaned  on  35  occasions. 

From  September  1977  to  June  last,  the  Library  was  open  1 18 
evenings  excluding  the  regular  nights  when  the  Librarian  was  in  at- 
tendance, for  the  convenience  of  the  brethren.  This  was  made  pos- 
sible through  the  generosity  of  some  twenty-two  brethren  who  as- 
sumed the  duties  of  assistant  volunteer  librarians.  It  is  with  much 
pride  that  we  list  them  by  name  and  lodge  herewith:  Lome  Alter 
(Mount  Sinai,  No.  522);  Gordon  Baker  (Mizpah,  No.  572);  Clif- 
ford Baxter  (Dentonia,  No.  651);  Charles  Bishop  (Coronation,  No. 
677);  George  Blackie  (Simcoe,  No.  644);  Brian  Bond  (Dentonia. 
No.  651);  William  Carter  (Dentonia,  No.  651);  Ivan  Collymore 
(Robertson,  No.  292);  Clifford  Gazley  (Universe,  No.  705);  Mike 
Hetherington  (Acacia,  No.  430);  Coulson  Malloy  (Vaughan,  No. 
54);  Robert  Mcllroy  (Riverdale,  No.  494);  Ken  MacLachlan 
(Transportation,  No.  583);  Brian  McWhirter  (Doric.  No.  316); 
David  Nicholls  (Canada,  No.  532);  Peter  Taylor  (Shamrock  No. 
533);  Paul  Thomas  (Mount  Dennis,  No.  599);  Adriaan  van't  Hof 
(Astra,  No.  682);  Cal  Waters  (Maple  Leaf.  No.  600);  Charles 
White  (Melita,  No.  605);  Bruce  Findlay  (Universe,  No.  705);  and 
William  Sawchuk  (Orient,  No.  339). 

This  group  represents  a  cross-section  of  all  ranks  in  Masonry 
and  are  deserving  of  our  best  thanks  for  a  job  well  done  under  try- 
ing circumstances  at  times.  Of  course  a  special  mention  of  Bro. 
Clifford  Gazley  must  be  made  for  it  was  he  who  arranged  each 
monthly  schedule  and  without  his  assistance  your  chairman  would 
have  floundered  hopelessly. 

This  arrangement  was  inaugurated  in  1975  and  if  the  number 
of  brethren  taking  advantage  of  it  is  any  criteria,  one  has  reason  to 


122     GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA  ANNUAL  COMMUNICATION 

question  the  necessity  of  continuing  the  plan  further.  We  share  the 
disappointment  of  our  assistant  librarians  who,  at  times,  sit  out  the 
night  without  seeing  a  single  visitor. 

Despite  every  effort  to  publicize  the  Library,  few  Masons 
seem  to  know  of  its  existence  at  888  Yonge  Street,  Toronto,  or  that 
one  can  receive  a  catalogue  for  the  asking  and  borrow  and  return 
books  postage  free. 

One  wonders  at  the  minimal  use  of  these  facilities.  Is  it 
because  we  are  among  those  who  honestly  believe  that  our  time  is 
too  important,  that  we  are  too  occupied  with  affairs  to  spend  much 
time  with  our  treasury  of  books?  A  goodly  number  of  these  books 
may  be  termed  as  classics,  a  description  that  distinguishes  them  as 
having  worn  best,  yet  little  do  we  realize  that  reading  them  may  be 
the  most  important  thing  we  could  do  in  life;  upon  it  may  depend 
the  continued  success  of  our  undertakings,  upon  it  certainly  rests 
our  mental  well-being. 

Likewise,  good  books  broaden  our  horizon,  fill  our  minds, 
enable  us  to  continue  growing  in  knowledge  and  wisdom.  What  the 
great  writers  recorded  centuries  ago  may  be  the  very  thing  to  help 
us  find  serenity  today. 

Reading  has  been  said  to  be  one  of  the  most  effective  means  of 
getting  away  from  the  disturbing  and  unalterable  circumstances. 
Intimate  association  with  noble  works,  be  they  literary,  artistic, 
philosophic,  is  a  promoter  of  thought,  a  refuge  from  almost  all  the 
miseries  of  life. 

We  are  pleased  to  report  the  promotional  efforts  of  four  dis- 
tricts that  have  come  to  our  attention  recently.  R.W.  Bro.  F.  J. 
Bruce,  Toronto  District  3  and  his  committee  provided  each 
member  in  the  district  with  a  membership  card  entitling  him  to  full 
privileges  in  the  Grand  Lodge  Library,  together  with  a  catalogue 
listing  selected  books  of  interest  and  the  audio-visual  material 
available.  A  subsequent  mailing  suggested  several  good  books 
worth  reading  and  to  have  in  one's  own  library  and  where  they  can 
be  purchased.  On  April  19th  last  Bro.  Bruce's  committee  held  an 
education  night  in  the  library  with  an  excellent  attendance. 

R.W.  Bro.  Sydney  A.  Browell,  Toronto  District  1,  undertook 
to  explore  the  feasibility  of  establishing  small  libraries  in  temples 
in  the  district  in  order  that  suitable  material  would  be  more  readily 
available  to  the  brethren. 


TORONTO.  ONTARIO,  1978  123 

The  Chatham  District  Newsletter  under  the  editorship  of  R. 
W.  Bro.  Edsel  Steen  has  been  a  continuing  supporter  and  promoter 
of  the  Grand  Lodge  Library. 


Simpson  Lodge,  No.  157,  Newboro  was  grateful  to  receive 
some  twelve  volumes  of  Masonic  books  through  the  good  graces  of 
R.W.  Bro.  Howard  O.  Polk  which  augmented  their  small  library. 


It  is  encouraging  to  note  the  practice  of  lodges  to  visit  the 
library  en  masse  for  an  educational  evening  and  mention  is  made 
of  Mount  Sinai  Lodge,  No.  522  in  particular.  We  can  only  hope 
the  idea  takes  wings. 


In  September,  1976,  an  Audio-Visual  Sub-Committee  was 
formed  under  the  chairmanship  of  R.W.  Bro.  Charles  W.  Emmett. 
Its  purpose  was  to  assemble  a  "Carousel  of  Masonry  in  Ontario" 
comprised  of  two  parts,  (a)  Masonry  in  Ontario  and  (b)  Masonry 
at  Work.  The  initial  venture  was  to  obtain  a  35MM  slide  of  every 
Masonic  Temple  in  the  jurisdiction  and  each  District  Deputy 
Grand  Master  was  requested  to  arrange  to  furnish  the  slides  per- 
taining to  his  district. 


The  committee  very  much  regrets  having  to  report  that  as  of 
going  to  press,  only  ten  districts  had  completed  their  assignment 
despite  repeated  correspondence  with  the  then  D.D.G.M.s  and 
their  two  successors. 


One  senses  that  R.W.  Bro.  Emmett  is  somewhat  disappointed 
with  the  result  to  date  since  it  precludes  all  chances  of  a  preview 
presentation  at  this  Communication.  However,  we  are  assured  of 
his  perseverance  to  see  the  project  completed. 


Most  Worshipful  Sir,  may  the  committee  conclude  this  report 
on  a  note  of  thanks  for  our  past  opportunities  and  a  hope  for 
further  desire  of  service  to  this  Grand  Lodge:  We  would  derive  a 
measure  of  satisfaction  if  in  the  coming  year  there  were  many  who, 
perhaps,  have  not  been  our  patrons  in  the  past  but  who  may  be 
curious  enough  to  sample  our  resources  in  the  near  future.

REPORT  OF  THE  COMMITTEE  ON  THE 
125th  ANNIVERSARY 

This  report  was  presented  by  R.W.  Bro.  C.  W.  Em- 
mett,  and  on  motion  of  the  Deputy  Grand  Master,  seconded 
by  R.  W.  Bro.  Emmett,  it  was  received  and  adopted. 

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

Most  Worshipful  Sir,  and  Brethren: 

In  presenting  this,  our  first  full  report,  we  are  pleased  to 
advise  that,  in  consultation  with  R.W.  Bro.  Richards,  the  Deputy 
Grand  Master,  M.W.  Bro.  J.  A.  Irvine,  Grand  Secretary,  M.W. 
Bro.  W.  K.  Bailey,  President  of  the  Masonic  Foundation,  and 
R.W.  Bro.  Wallace  McLeod,  the  following  plans  and  projects  have 
been  approved  as  points  that  will  specifically  identify  our  125th 
Anniversary  Program. 

1 .  The  Theme  for  our  Anniversary  Celebration  will  be: 

"Every  Member  Participation" 

To  this  end,  immediately  following  this  Communication,  each 
member  of  the  Board  of  General  Purposes  will  be  contacted  and 
requested  to  act  on  the  Committee  on  Public  Relations.  Each 
Member,  with  the  exception  of  those  who  are  Chairmen  of  large 
Committees,  will  be  designated  a  specific  responsibility. 

2.  It  is  our  plan  to  promote,  through  the  members  of  the  Board  of 
General  Purposes,  a  Program  of  Suggestions  for  the  Masters  & 
Wardens  of  the  several  Lodges,  utilizing  the  Masters  & 
Wardens  Associations,  to  emphasize  the  importance  of  special 
Anniversary  projects. 


TORONTO,  ONTARIO.  1978  125 

A  few  examples  of  the  suggestions  are  as  follows: 
The  forming  of  new  Lodges. 
To  institute  special  programs  in  each  Lodge  for  the  purpose  of 

visiting  each  demitted  and  suspended  member,  with  a  view 

to  renewing  their  interest  and  standing  in  the  Lodge. 
To  place  special  emphasis  on  the  Benevolent  work  of  each 

Lodge. 
To  plan  a  special  evening  for  the  widows  of  deceased 

members. 

3.  It  is  the  thinking  of  this  Committee  that  immediately  following 
the  annual  Communication  of  Grand  Lodge  in  1979  the  An- 
niversary Program  will  commence.  To  this  end  the  various 
Lodges  and  Districts  will  be  encouraged  to  schedule  their 
special  projects  to  start  during  the  latter  part  of  1979  and  the 
first  part  of  1980. 

4.  Arrangements  have  been  made  for  the  holding  of  a  Divine  Ser- 
vice Sunday  afternoon,  July  20,  1979  at  3:00  p.m.  at  the 
Bandshell  on  the  grounds  of  the  Canadian  National  Exhibition. 
Accommodation  will  be  provided  for  the  Brethren  and  their 
families  for  approximately  10,000. 

5.  Traditional  Grand  Master's  Banquet: 

Negotiations  are  under  way  for  the  accommodating  of  approx- 
imately 3,000  Brethren  for  this  important  occasion. 
This  Banquet  and  all  meetings,  with  the  exception  of  the  Divine 
Service,  will  be  held  in  the  Royal  York  Hotel. 

6.  Grand  Lodge  has  approved  and  authorized  the  creation  of  a 
Banner  bearing  the  name  and  crest  of  the  Grand  Lodge  of 
Canada,  in  the  Province  of  Ontario.  It  is  proposed  this  Banner 
will  be  ready  and  officially  presented  to  Grand  Lodge  for  the 
opening  of  our  125th  Communication.  It  is  expected  that  this 
Banner  will  be  present  on  all  similar  and  important  occasions  of 
Grand  Lodge. 

7.  Grand  Lodge  has  also  approved,  as  part  of  the  Anniversary 
Celebration,  a  Program  of  raising  a  Capital  Fund  of 
$350,000.00,  the  interest  only  to  be  used  to  expand  and  diversify 
the  work  of  the  Foundation. 

The  first  project  under  consideration  will  be  one  referred  to  as 
H.  E.  L.  P.  (Hearing  for  Every  Living  Person). 
The  raising  of  the  $350,000.00  will  be  in  the  hands  of  a  special 
Committee  set  up  under  the  direction  of  the  Foundation  Com- 
mittee. 


126     GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA  ANNUAL  COMMUNICATION 

8.  Grand  Lodge  has  also  taken  steps  to  have  a  new  book  published 
covering  Masonry  in  Ontario  during  the  past  200  years.  This 
important  responsibility  is  in  the  hands  of  R.W.  Bro.  Wallace 
McLeod. 

All  of  which  is  respectfully  and  fraternally  submitted. 

CHARLES  W.  EMMETT, 

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. 

Most  Worshipful  Sir  and  Brethren: 

Your  Committee  charged  with  the  preparation  and  presenta- 
tion of  a  reorganized  and  revised  Constitution  to  the  1978  annual 
meeting  of  Grand  Lodge  begs  leave  to  report  that  we  have  been  un- 
able to  complete  the  prescribed  task  in  the  allotted  time.  We  would 
request  permission  to  continue  with  the  assignment  during  the 
forthcoming  year. 

We  desire  to  express  appreciation  to  the  320  lodges  which 
responded  to  our  invitation  to  submit  constructive  suggestions  and 
comments  to  the  draft  which  was  circulated  last  September.  Two 
hundred  lodges  expressed  agreement  with  the  draft  Constitution. 
From  the  remainder  there  were  many  useful  observations  which  we 
have  been  able  to  incorporate  into  the  reorganized  and  revised 
Constitution.  Valuable  suggestions  have  been  received  from  the 
Committees  on  Benevolence  and  Grievances  and  Appeals. 

The  following  recommendations  are  respectfully  submitted  to 
Grand  Lodge  for  approval: 

1.  That  a  redraft  of  the  Constitution  be  prepared  and  presented  to 
the  lodges  and  members  of  the  Board  of  General  Purposes  on  or 
before  the  1st  day  of  October,  1978; 


TORONTO,  ONTARIO.  1978  127 

2.  That  the  lodges  and  members  of  the  Board  of  General  Purposes 
be  requested  to  study  the  redraft  and  to  submit,  if  they  so  desire, 
comments  in  writing  to  the  Grand  Secretary  on  or  before  the  1st 
day  of  February,  1979;  and 

3.  That  the  Committee  review  submissions  received,  redraft  where 
necessary,  and  submit  to  the  Grand  Secretary  on  or  before  the 
1st  day  of  April,  1979,  a  notice  of  motion  to  rescind  the  1978 
Constitution  and  to  adopt  the  Constitution  as  revised  and 
redrafted. 

It  would  naturally  follow  that  redraft  as  per  notice  of  motion 
would  be  circulated  to  the  lodges  and  members  of  the  Board  of 
General  Purposes  about  mid  April. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

J.  V.  LAWER,  Q.C. 

H.  A.  LEAL,  Q.C.

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

Most  Worshipful  Sir  and  Brethren: 

In  recalling  the  work  during  the  past  twelve  months  of  your 
Advisory  Committee,  it  finds  that  great  majority  of  inquiries 
which  it  receives,  request  information,  guidance  and  approval  of 
proposed  projects.  In  many  there  appears  to  be  a  paucity  not  only 
of  understanding  the  raison  d'etre  of  this  Committee  but  also  of 


130     GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA  ANNUAL  COMMUNICATION 

the  Regulations  approved  by  Grand  Lodge.  This  means  that  many 
of  the  projects  submitted  for  approval  do  not  conform  with  these 
Regulations  and  have  to  be  revised  and  re-submitted.  The  result  is 
much  needless  work  for  the  Lodge  and  the  Advisory  Committee. 

There  are  several  reasons  why  some  Lodges  experience  disap- 
pointments; for  example  -  existing  buildings  have  been  bought 
without  the  approval  of  the  Advisory  Committee,  which  requires 
complete  information  regarding  details  of  construction  particular- 
ly of  the  stair  enclosures.  Moreover,  drawings  have  been  prepared 
by  those  who  were  unaware  of  Grand  Lodge  Regulations.  Again, 
we  have  received  some  strange  letters  from  District  Deputy  Grand 
Masters,  such  as  one  who  wrote  that  he  thought  and  felt  confident 
that  the  Advisory  Committee  could  bend  Grand  Lodge  Regula- 
tions, while  another  suggested  that,  rather  than  have  a  delegation 
come  to  Hamilton  to  discuss  the  Lodge's  project  with  the  Advisory 
Committee,  the  Grand  Secretary  should  go  to  the  Lodge  and  the 
Brethren  would  discuss  the  project  with  him.  Furthermore,  in  some 
cases  it  would  appear  that  information  has  been  deliberately  with- 
held from  the  Committee.  However,  in  due  course,  these  infrac- 
tions come  to  light,  and,  when  this  Committee  insists  on  these 
omissions  and  deficiencies  being  rectified,  great  is  the  disappoint- 
ment of  the  Brethren  of  the  Lodge. 

Your  Advisory  Committee  regrets  that  it  has  to  inform  the 
Brethren  of  Grand  Lodge  that  it  has  had,  during  the  past  year,  and, 
in  fact,  is  still  having  unfortunate  experiences  with  two  Lodges 
because  there  were  some  Brethren  who  felt  that  the  Regulations  of 
Grand  Lodge  could  be  disregarded  with  impunity.  The  Advisory 
Committee  regrets,  exceedingly,  the  steps  that  had  to  be  taken  and 
it  will  have  to  take,  when  Lodges  feel  they  do  not  have  to  conform 
with  Grand  Lodge  Regulations.  The  Committee  wants  it  clearly 
understood  that  it  derives  no  pleasure  whatsoever  when  it  has  to 
adopt  certain  measures  and  procedures  to  ensure  conformity  with 
Grand  Lodge  Regulations. 

Shortly  after  this  Committee's  last  year's  Report  was  filed  in 
Hamilton  with  the  Grand  Secretary,  he  received  from  R.W.  Bro. 
Wm.  R.  Pellow,  District  Deputy  Grand  Master  for  London  East, 
not  only  the  customary,  but  also,  a  separate  report,  entitled  Fire 
Prevention  and  Safety  in  each  Temple  in  his  District.  The  Right 
Worshipful  Brother  made  a  sketch  of  each  Temple,  together  with  a 
detailed  report  on  the  Lodge  Room,  the  Ante  Room,  Banquet 
Room  and  the  other  ancillary  rooms,  pointing  out  the  various 
deficiencies  and  how  they  should  be  rectified.  Your  Committee 


TORONTO.  ONTARIO.  1978  131 

would  be  most  pleased  if  all  the  D.D.G.M.s  would  make  a  similar 
report,  in  triplicate,  for  each  Temple  in  his  District.  One  copy  he 
should,  of  course,  retain  for  his  own  files,  the  second  copy  should 
be  sent  to  the  Grand  Secretary,  and  the  third  copy  should  be  given 
to  his  successor,  who  should  be  required  to  check  each  Lodge 
building  to  ascertain  whether  the  deficiencies  had  been  rectified. 
This  Committee  recommends  to  Grand  Lodge  that  this  procedure 
be  approved  and  adopted  by  Grand  Lodge. 

In  reference  to  the  danger  from  fire,  we  read  in  the  daily  press 
last  fall  of  a  fire  in  Kentucky  which  took  a  toll  of  over  160  lives. 
The  cause  of  the  fire  was  due  to  careless  wiring  and  overcrowding, 
and,  again,  the  press  referred  to  the  Coconut  Grove  fire  in  Boston 
in  November  1942  where  there  were  491  fatalities.  In  the  August 
1977  issue  of  the  New  Mexico  Freemason  there  was  an  article  en- 
titled "FIRE"  which  read  in  part,  and  I  quote: 

"We  seem  to  be  somewhat  complacent  until  tragedy 
strikes  and  we  are  shocked  from  our  lethargy.  Recently  an  in- 
terested group  of  Albuquerque  Masons  offered  their  services 
to  local  lodges  in  checking  storage  closets  or  lockers,  fire  ex- 
tinguishers, hoses,  etc.  as  a  fire  prevention  effort;  encouraged 
by  the  City  Fire  Department,  these  Brethren  are  available  for 
suggestions  or  to  do  the  actual  work  of  cleaning  out  possible 
fire  hazard  areas  in  Lodge  Buildings.  The  Grand  Master  ap- 
proved this  effort  and  urged  all  Lodges  to  select  a  committee 
to  thoroughly  check  their  building." 

—  end  of  quote  — 

Shortly  after  receiving  the  above  extract  on  fire,  I  was  sur- 
prised, when  talking  to  a  Past  District  Secretary,  to  learn  that  he 
never  attended  the  Banquet  Hour  in  a  Temple  he  frequented.  His 
reason  was  that,  if  there  ever  were  a  flash  fire  in  the  kitchen,  which 
was  located  at  the  bottom  of  the  stair  enclosure,  the  Brethren  could 
not  get  out  of  the  Banquet  Hall  without  pushing  some  tables  over 
to  the  exterior  wall,  climbing  upon  the  tables  and  breaking  the  win- 
dow sash  to  get  to  the  outside  to  escape.  The  Brother  went  on  to 
say  not  only  that  he  thought  that  the  Temple  was  built  in  the  fifties, 
before  the  Advisory  Committee  was  established,  but  also  the  local 
Building  Inspector  had  approved  the  plans  at  the  time  the  Temple 
was  built. 

Last  September.  I  was  attending  a  meeting  in  the  Scottish 
Rite  Cathedral  in  Hamilton,  at  which  there  were  about  400 
Masons  present,  including  our  Grand  Master  and  three  of  our  Past 


132     GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA  ANNUAL  COMMUNICATION 

Grand  Masters.  Some  time  after  the  meeting  started,  suddenly 
burning  embers  began  falling  from  a  spot  light  in  close  proximity 
to  the  proscenium  arch  spanning  the  high  ceiling.  Although  the 
agenda  of  that  meeting  was  nearly  completed,  it  was  decided  to 
evacuate  the  building  and  call  the  Fire  Department.  Fortunately 
there  was  a  local  Fire  Department  Station  about  150  yards  away. 
The  fire  fighters  went  into  the  roof  space,  found  the  cause  of  the 
trouble  and  extinguished  the  fire.  The  cause  was  due  to  additional 
insulation  being  installed  without  providing  means  for  the  heat 
generated  by  the  fixture  to  escape  unimpeded  into  the  roof  space 
above  the  insulation. 

In  this  penultimate  paragraph,  your  Committee  is  pleased  to 
report  it  has  received  requests  from  another  eleven  Lodges  for  in- 
formation and  assistance;  that  six  delegates  came  to  Hamilton  to 
discuss  the  various  aspects  of  their  own  particular  problems  and 
that  three  more  Temples  have  been  occupied  and  dedicated. 

Finally,  it  has  again  been  another  most  rewarding  experience 
for  me  to  have  had,  as  formerly,  the  ready  and  willing  assistance  of 
the  other  two  members  of  the  Committee,  namely,  M.W.  Bro.  J. 
A.  Irvine,  Grand  Secretary,  and  M.W.  Bro.  Ewart  G.  Dixon,  Q.C., 
Grand  Secretary  Emeritus. 

All  of  which  is  respectfully  and  fraternally  submitted.

Chairman,  Advisory  Committee 
on  Lodge  Buildings.

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

"Operation  Lifeline",  a  phrase  we  have  heard  since  1976,  is 
now  a  reality.  This  ambitious  venture,  the  inspiration  of  W.  Bro. 


TORONTO,  ONTARIO.  1978  133 

Paul  Curry,  has  been  solidly  backed  by  the  Masons  of  the  Seven 
Toronto  Districts  and  is  now  a  visible  entity. 

Originally,  this  was  to  be  a  mobile  centre  used  as  a  collecting 
point  for  areas  where  it  was  impractical  to  set  up  a  clinic,  but,  at 
the  request  of  the  Canadian  Red  Cross,  this  concept  has  been 
changed  slightly.  Because  only  blood  collected  at  the  main  depot  in 
Toronto  could  be  converted  into  much  needed  components, 
"Operation  Lifeline"  was  asked  if  this  unit  could  be  made  into  a 
mobile  laboratory,  so  that  blood  acquired  in  remote  locations 
could  be  immediately  processed  into  components.  This  is  a  whole 
new  idea  and  one  which  has  a  very  high  practical  value. 

The  committee  and  the  Grand  Master  agreed  that  this  change 
would  be  acceptable  as  it  would  be  a  way  to  extend  the  lifeline  of 
Canadians. 

From  all  of  us  -  congratulations  "Operation  Lifeline"  -  on  a 
fine  job,  speedily  and  effectively  done. 

The  work  of  your  Blood  Donor's  Committee  is  in  many 
hands  -  the  District  Deputy  Grand  Masters  for  selecting  diligent 
Masons  as  their  representatives  on  our  Committee;  the  District 
Blood  Donor  Chairmen  for  being  the  strong  voice  of  our  cause 
throughout  all  their  district;  and  the  lodge  chairmen  for  being  the 
record  keepers  and  the  constant  reminder  to  the  membership. 

We  do  not  know  the  lodge  chairmen  who  have  long  service, 
but  we  are  well  aware  of  the  veterans  serving  as  district  chairmen. 
The  senior  member  is  still  R.W.  Bro.  Chas.  Heels  of  Victoria 
District  with  17  years  of  dedication  behind  him.  Following  close 
behind  are  R.W.  Bro.  CalKrauter,  North  Huron  District  with  15 
years,  R.W.  Bro.  Wm.  J.  C.  Noble,  Sudbury  -  Manitoulin  District 
-  14  years,  W.  Bros.  Claude  Osborn  and  Howard  Daines,  Toronto 
4  District  -  7  years,  and  Bro.  Brian  Stapley,  Toronto  5  District 
with  6  years.  In  all,  18  district  Chairmen  are  repeating  in  office  and 
we  thank  and  congratulate  them  and  the  25  who  have  now  com- 
pleted their  first  year  in  this  service  to  their  district  and  to  this 
Committee. 

To  show  their  efforts,  here  are  their  totals  with  last  year's 
results  for  comparison:

TORONTO.  ONTARIO.  1978  135 

Highlights  from  these  figures  are;  highest  number  of  dona- 
tions -  538  by  Niagara  B  District  -  W.  Bro.  Wm.  Bolton;  the 
greatest  increase  281  donations,  which  also  produced  the  greatest 
percentage  increase  -  135%  by  Toronto  District  3  -  W.  Bro.  Joseph 
Bonney.  A  superb  effort  by  both  these  brethren. 

From  the  district  chairmen's  reports,  it  would  appear  that  we 
should  be  establishing  a  "Century  Club".  Bro.  Tom  Bailey  of 
Keystone  Lodge  No.  412  has  now  made  1 18  blood  donations,  W. 
Bro.  Draper  Martineau,  Algoma  Lodge  No.  469  and  W.  Bro.  Bob 
Cameron,  Cobden  Lodge  No.  459  both  with  108  donations,  and  a 
member  of  Composite  Lodge  No.  30  shown  only  as  more  than  100. 
This,  my  brethren,  is  dedication  to  the  Blood  Donor  cause  and  on 
your  behalf  we  say  to  them  a  very  special  "thank  you". 

Again  this  year,  joint  clinics  were  held  with  excellent  results. 
The  Seven  Toronto  Districts  had  their  day-long  clinic  with  con- 
tinuous entertainment  donated  by  many  brethren;  Kingston  and 
Fort  Erie  amalgamated  with  the  Knights  of  Columbus  to  maintain 
a  high  level  of  support  in  both  these  cities;  the  Sault  Ste.  Marie 
Masons  again  won  the  city-wide  trophy  and  as  they  have  won  it  so 
consistently  they  have  been  given  permanent  possession  of  it;  and 
in  Toronto  District  4  the  Masters  of  1968  conduct  a  very  successful 
annual  clinic.  These  are  programs  which  show  what  can  be  done 
with  a  bit  of  extra  effort,  sometimes  going  outside  of  your  own 
area  to  find  the  catalyst  to  make  it  work. 

Several  previous  district  Blood  Donor  chairmen  .  were 
honoured  at  the  last  communication  of  Grand  Lodge.  R.W.  Bros. 
Gordon  Rabb  of  Bruce  District,  James  Steele  of  London  West 
District  and  James  Napier  of  Windsor  District  are  now  completing 
a  successful  year  as  D.D.G.M.s.  V.W.  Bro.  Elgin  Workman,  Grey 
District  is  the  Grand  Pursuivant  and  V.W.  Bros.  Laurie 
Brandridge,  Georgian  District  and  Keith  Poss,  Brant  District,  are 
Grand  Stewards.  We  applaud  their  preferment  and  know  that  their 
Masonic  leadership  has  lead  to  this  recognition. 

This  year  a  great  number  of  the  chairmen  restated  the  thought 
that  there  are  many,  many,  more  Blood  Donors  than  are  presently 
being  reported  and  expressed  the  hope  that  those  members  who 
haven't  reported  will  have  a  change  of  heart  and  will  let  us  know  of 
their  involvement.  Too  long  have  we  played  down  our  activities. 
We  ARE  involved  in  our  communities  and  one  way  of  indicating 
our  participation  is  to  tell  how  we  share  in  the  Blood  Donor 
program. 


136     GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA  ANNUAL  COMMUNICATION 

On  behalf  of  your  district  Blood  Donor  chairmen  I  say  - 
"Keep  Giving",  talk  it  up  with  your  friends  and  your  new  members 
to  get  them  to  develop  the  habit  of  donating  and  REPORT  so  that 
we  can  not  only  show  our  continued  concern  but  be  an  increasing 
testimony  to  the  needs  of  others. 

Share  a  pint  with  a  friend  -  be  a  Blood  Donor. 

Respectfully  and  fraternally  submitted. 

ROD  J.  CONNOR, 

Chairman 


REPORT  ON  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: 

The  Board  of  General  Purposes  through  the  Committee  on 
Benevolence,  reports  to  you  as  follows: 

The  Committee  is  composed  of  the  Most  Worshipful  the 
Grand  Master,  Robert  E.  Davies,  R.W.  Bro.  N.  R.  Richards,  the 
Deputy  Grand  Master,  and  R.W.  Bros.  H.  C.  Steele,  C.  A. 
Sankey,  W.  L.  Pacey,  W.  J.  Curtis,  C.  W.  Emmett,  R.  T. 
Runciman,  A.  E.  Broadley,  G.  W.  Buckler,  J.  D.  Dyer  and  V. 
Wor.  Bro.  A.  W.  Watson.  The  undersigned  and  presenter  of  this 
report  has  the  privilege  of  acting  as  Chairman  and  extend  my 
thanks  to  them  for  their  participation  in  our  activities. 

The  Committee  on  Benevolence  is  charged  with  the  respon- 
sibility of  reviewing  applications  for  assistance  from  lodges  on 
behalf  of  their  members  or  relatives  of  deceased  members.  In 
general,  these  applications  fall  into  two  categories,  those  requiring 
immediate  action  and  those  that  may  be  deferred  for  action  by  the 
Committee  at  its  meeting  in  June. 


TORONTO.  ONTARIO.  1978  137 

Our  constitution  provides  that  in  case  of  emergency  the 
chairman  is  authorized,  with  the  approval  of  the  President  of  the 
Board  of  General  Purposes,  to  make  such  grants  as  may  be  neces- 
sary to  relieve  the  situation  outlined  in  the  application.  During  the 
year  just  completed  there  were  8  of  these  applications  for  which  in- 
terim grants  in  the  total  amount  of  $4,271.69  was  made.  These,  in 
accordance  with  the  Rules  of  Benevolence  were  approved  by  the 
Committee  at  our  meeting  in  Hamilton. 

One  of  these  applications  is  particularly  interesting  from  two 
points  of  view.  A  lodge  in  Toronto,  as  a  special  project,  undertook 
the  task  of  contacting  the  widows  of  their  deceased  members  to 
determine  if  any  assistance  or  advice  could  make  their  lot  in  life  a 
little  easier.  This  was  a  very  active  undertaking  by  this  lodge  and 
one  that  has  given  much  pleasure  to  the  Brethren  taking  part.  As 
evidence  of  the  thoroughness  of  their  work  the  widow  of  one  of 
their  members  who  had  died  in  1927  -  fifty  years  ago  -  was  dis- 
covered. Her  situation  was  such  that  both  advice  and  assistance 
was  needed.  The  lodge  provided  both  and  then  forwarded  an  ap- 
plication to  your  Committee  and  through  an  interim  grant  we  were 
able  to  help.  We  commend  this  lodge  for  their  interest  in 
Benevolence  and  are  grateful  for  the  opportunity  of  helping  them 
achieve  their  objectives. 

Your  Committee  met  on  June  9th  and  10th  to  approve  these 
interim  grants  and  to  review  the  other  applications  received.  This 
meeting  is  held  in  the  Grand  Lodge  office  in  Hamilton  and  with  the 
exception  of  the  Grand  Master,  who  was  representing  our  Grand 
Lodge  in  another  jurisdiction,  every  member  of  the  Committee  was 
present  to  take  part  in  our  discussions. 

The  first  order  of  business  is  the  receiving  of  the  Report  of  the 
Supervisor  of  Benevolence  Rt.  Wor.  Bro.  James  C.  Guy.  His  con- 
cern for  the  work  of  Benevolence  in  our  Grand  Jurisdiction,  the 
completeness  of  detail,  the  thorough  knowledge  of  virtually  every 
application  and  the  warm  human  desire  to  help  those  in  distress 
which  touches  everything  Brother  Guy  does  was  reflected  in  this 
report.  Last  year  your  Chairman  stated  that  we  were  fortunate  to 
have  Brother  Guy  as  our  Supervisor  of  Benevolence.  The  year  just 
past  has  cemented  that  opinion.  The  Committee  has  asked  me  to 
express  to  him  our  appreciation  for  his  work  and  report  to  you  our 
total  satisfaction  with  his  efforts.  I  am  happy  to  do  both. 

A  total  of  87  applications  were  reviewed.  Once  again,  as  hap- 
pens every  year  a  large  number  of  these  were  not  complete  or 


138     GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA  ANNUAL  COMMUNICATION 

lacked  sufficient  information  for  your  Committee  to  determine 
what  assistance  is  needed. 

We  echo  the  plea  of  every  Committee  since  the  inception  of 
our  Grand  Lodge  that  each  lodge  take  care  to  see  that  an  applica- 
tion is  fully  completed.  When  this  is  not  done  the  only  person  hurt 
is  the  applicant  -  the  very  one  we  are  all  trying  to  help.  Those  ap- 
plications not  completed  have  been  returned  for  amendment  and 
will  be  reviewed  at  the  Communication  in  July. 

During  the  year  ended  April  30th,  97  grants  together  with  the 
8  interim  grants  were  made  for  a  total  amount  of  $59,306.69.  We 
estimate  that  in  the  coming  year  $62,000.00  will  be  required  for 
Benevolent  purposes  and  request  that  this  sum  be  made  available 
for  that  purpose. 

A  number  of  matters  other  than  the  perusal  of  applications 
demanded  attention  this  year. 

The  first  of  these  was  a  review  and  revision  of  the  Rules  of 
Benevolence  for  inclusion  in  the  revised  Constitution.  These  rules 
have  not  been  changed  for  a  great  many  years  and  certain  small 
procedural  differences  exist  between  what  we  actually  do  and  what 
is  outlined  in  the  rules  presently  in  use.  The  Committee  met  in 
January  of  this  year  and  examined  these  rules  thoroughly.  They 
have  been  revised  to  reflect  accurately  the  manner  in  which  grants 
are  distributed,  the  authority  required  for  the  various  classes  of 
grants  and  the  scope  of  our  activities.  These  will  be  presented  to 
you  for  your  review  by  the  Committee  on  Revision  of  the  Constitu- 
tion in  their  draft  copy  in  the  fall  of  this  year.  We  have  worked 
closely  with  this  committee  on  these  rules  and  commend  them  for 
their  interest  and  assistance. 

The  Committee  also  reviewed  the  policy  of  the  appointment 
of  District  Chairman  of  Benevolence  and  recommended  that  the 
practice  be  continued.  This  system  was  introduced  a  number  of 
years  ago  by  Most  Wor.  Bro.  Nancekivell  when  he  was  Chairman 
of  this  Committee.  The  intent  was  and  is  to  have  in  each  district  a 
Chairman  of  Benevolence  whose  responsibility  is  to  assist  the 
lodges  in  his  district  to  properly  complete  applications  for 
Benevolence  and  to  encourage  Benevolent  activities  in  the  lodges 
and  on  a  district  basis. 

The  assistance  provided  by  these  Brethren  is  invaluable  and 
cannot  be  overestimated.  We  would  like  to  express  to  them  our 
deep  appreciation  for  their  help. 


TORONTO.  ONTARIO.  1978  139 

The  Committee  has  one  major  concern  in  this  regard.  Each 
year  we  ask  that  those  Brethren  who  have  served  well  as  District 
Chairmen  and  are  willing  to  continue  to  serve  be  re-appointed  by 
the  incoming  District  Deputy  Grand  Master.  Too  often  this  re- 
quest is  overlooked  and  we  repeat  and  emphasize  it  this  year.  The 
Brother  who  acts  in  this  office  needs  to  understand  Benevolence 
and  experience  is  definitely  the  best  teacher  he  can  have. 

The  Committee  also  recommends  that  the  Supervisor  of 
Benevolence  continue  the  practice  of  holding  regional  meetings 
with  the  district  chairman,  lodge  chairman  and  senior  lodge  of- 
ficers. These  have  been  held  for  several  years  and  have  proven  suc- 
cessful in  encouraging  the  establishment  of  Benevolent  program- 
mes in  our  lodges  and  districts.  Much  remains  to  be  done  in  this 
regard  and  these  meetings  provide  one  of  the  best  methods  of  es- 
tablishing and  encouraging  programmes  of  this  nature. 

From  these  meetings  a  number  of  recommendations  have 
been  forwarded  to  the  Committee.  Among  these,  two  are  pre- 
eminent. The  first  concerns  the  application  forms  we  use.  The  peo- 
ple who  use  them  are  not  happy  with  them  and  we  agree  with  much 
of  what  they  say.  The  Committee  recommends  that  they  be 
changed  to  reflect  these  views  and  your  approval  of  this  report  will 
direct  the  Committee  to  prepare  new  forms  for  approval  by  the 
Board  of  General  Purposes. 

The  second  major  point  is  a  request  that  the  Committee 
prepare  a  manual  that  will  outline  the  procedures  used  in  preparing 
application  forms  together  with  simple  recommendations  for 
methods  of  establishing  lodge  and  district  Benevolent  Program- 
mes. We  concur  with  this  request  and  recommend  that  the  incom- 
ing Committee  prepare  and  distribute  a  manual  of  this  nature. 

While  on  the  subject  of  district  and  lodge  programmes  may  I 
report  that  this  year,  at  my  request,  the  District  Deputy  Grand 
Master  of  Toronto  District  Three.  Rt.  Wor.  Bro.  Frank  Bruce, 
granted  permission  to  Wor.  Bro.  David  Gold,  the  District 
Chairman  of  Benevolence  in  his  district,  to  operate  a  pilot  project 
in  the  development  of  district  and  lodge  Benevolent  Programmes. 
Brother  Gold  is  an  active,  energetic  mason  and  worked  long  and 
hard  on  this  task.  Detailed  plans  were  worked  out  and  presented  to 
the  district  at  a  meeting  last  fall.  There  were,  one  must  report,  mix- 
ed reactions  to  such  a  venture.  There  were  those  who  feel  that  all 
Masonic  Benevolent  activities  should  be  sub  rosa  in  nature  and 
that  any  attempt  to  organize,  to  seek  out  those  needing  help,  or  to 


140     GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA  ANNUAL  COMMUNICATION 

indicate  what  has  been  done  for  others  destroys  the  very  soul  of 
Masonic  Benevolence.  On  the  other  hand,  some  feel  that  absolute 
organization,  publicity  and  constant  surveillance  of  our  members 
needs  is  essential  for  a  successful  result.  One  can  make  valid  argu- 
ments for  both  points  of  view  but  I  believe  that  somewhere  between 
the  two  lies  the  proper  perspective.  No  one  is  interested  in  embar- 
rassing anyone  in  need  nor  do  we  believe  that  anyone  wishes  to 
leave  to  happenstance  the  relief  of  someone  needing  assistance. 
The  intent  of  this  project  was  to  bring  to  the  minds  of  our  Brethren 
the  need  for  Masonic  Benevolence  in  its  true  sense  of  concern  for 
the  welfare  of  our  Brethren  in  both  a  personal  and  practical  way. 
We  hope  the  district  continues  the  project  and  grows  with  it.  We 
have  learned  much  from  it  and  will  apply  the  lessons  learned  to 
future  plans.  In  the  interim  may  I  thank  Rt.  Wor.  Bro.  Bruce  for 
his  support  of  the  concept,  the  district  for  their  participation  and 
discussion  and  particularly  Wor.  Bro.  Gold  for  his  energy  and  con- 
cern. 

Our  appreciation  is  once  again  extended  to  the  local  Boards  of 
Relief  in  our  Jurisdiction.  These  have  always  been  active  groups 
and  are  of  great  help  to  us  in  the  administration  of  grants.  We 
acknowledge  their  assistance  and  are  grateful  for  it. 

We  also  recommend  the  renewal  of  our  membership  in  the 
Masonic  Relief  Association  of  the  United  States  and  Canada.  This 
organization  is  represented  in  all  areas  of  the  continent  and  is 
always  willing  to  assist  us  in  any  way  they  can. 

During  the  meeting  in  Hamilton  we  are  always  the  guests  of 
the  Hamilton  Past  Masters  Association  for  a  Friday  night  coffee 
break.  This  is  a  happy  tradition  and  one  we  all  look  forward  to. 
Our  appreciation  is  evident  in  our  enjoyment  of  this  occasion. 

May  I  close  by  saying  a  word  on  behalf  of  the  entire  Commit- 
tee. Each  member  regards  his  role  on  the  Committee  as  a  privilege 
and  a  responsibility  that  is  not  to  be  taken  lightly.  We  are  grateful 
to  you  for  the  confidence  placed  in  us  and  trust  that  our  direction 
of  your  Benevolent  activities  this  year  has  met  with  your  approval. 

Respectfully  and  fraternally  submitted, 

COLIN  D.  MACKENZIE, 

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. 
1978  and  the  results  of  its  fiscal  operations  on  a  cash  basis  for  the 
twelve  month  period  ended  on  that  date.

(1)  The  Audited  Statements  of  Grand  Lodge  accounts  show

$2,012,849.28.  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  $70,692.59  over  figures  a  year

(2)  Following  traditional  policy,  Grand  Lodge  Funds  are  in- 
vested in  Trustee  Securities  with  the  exception  of  $160,000.00 
Series  "A"  and  $40,000.00  Series  "B"  debentures  of  Masonic 
Holdings  which  are  payable  on  demand  after  June  1.  1978.  These

including  $10,000.00  redeemed  on  April  30th,  1978. 


142     GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA  ANNUAL  COMMUNICATION 

All  securities,  with  few  exceptions,  are  fully  registered  as  to 
capital  and  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,  com- 
mutations, interest  on  investments,  etc.  amounted  to  $326,826.45 
while  disbursements  totalled  $281,171.03  leaving  excess  of  income 
over  expenditures  of  $45,655.42. 

(4)  Grants  for  benevolent  purposes,  less  those  ref  jnded  and 
cancelled  amounted  to  $58,256.69  a  decrease  of  $1,872  01  from  a 
year  ago.  These  grants  were  paid  out  of  the  combined  incomes  of 
the  Memorial  and  Semi-Centennial  Funds,  as  supplemented  by 
transfers  from  the  General  Fund,  which  last  year  amounted  to 
$18,000.00.  The  anticipated  amount  for  the  coming  year  is 
$21,500.00.  The  Committee  on  Audit  and  Finance  therefore 
recommends  that  in  order  to  provide  these  funds,  the  Board  of 
General  Purposes  authorize  in  accordance  with  Section  1 19  of  the 
Constitution,  appropriations  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,  1978  to  April  30,  1979. 
It  should  be  noted  that  the  Committee  on  Benevolence  has  shown 
great  care  in  administering  its  funds. 

Your  committee  recommends  approval  of  the  special 
donations  to  charitable  institutions  totalling  $5,300.00  which  were 
made  under  the  authority  of  the  Grand  Master  as  itemized  in  the 
Financial  Statement. 

In  its  review  of  all  matters  covered  in  this  report,  your  Com- 
mittee has  received  the  fullest  co-operation  and  assistance  from  the 
Grand  Secretary  and  his  staff.  The  co-operation  of  the  Grand 
Treasurer  is  also  appreciated.  Your  Committee  now  formally 
recommends  to  this  Grand  Lodge  the  adoption,  without  amend- 
ment, 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

over  Disbursements 


The  foregoing  estimates  have  been  carefully  considered  and  com- 
piled after  consultation  with  the  Grand  Secretary  and  the  Grand 
Treasurer.  Your  committee  believes  they  are  realistic  and  provide 
for  all  items  which  might  be  reasonably  foreseen  and  for  such 
amounts  as  may  be  required  to  meet  all  Grand  Lodge  financial 
responsibilities,  obligations  and  commitments  for  the  current  fiscal 
year. 

The  ad  hoc  committee  appointed  by  the  Grand  Master  in  May 
1975  to  study  a  special  insurance  plan  for  insuring  temples  and 
regalia  under  one  general  policy,  sought  information  from  all  of 
the  lodges  and  nearly  all  of  the  temple  corporations.  It  also  sought 
assistance  from  seven  well  known  insurance  agencies. 

With  the  information  obtained,  a  report  was  made  to  the 
Grand  Master  in  July  of  1977.  After  consideration  it  was  decided 
that  such  a  plan  would  not  be  feasible  under  all  the  circumstances. 

Your  committee  recommends  that  consideration  be  given  to 
revising  the  pension  plan  for  our  employees,  as  proposed  by  the 
Grand  Treasurer  with  a  view  to: 

(1)  Increasing  the  contribution  by  employees 

(2)  Providing  for  employer  contribution 

(3)  Making  provision  for  optional  additional  contributions 

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

REPORT  OF  THE  GRAND  CHAPLAIN 

The  Grand  Chaplain,  R.W.  Bro.  Rev.  Eric  Sisel, 
presented  his  report.  On  motion  of  the  Deputy  Grand 
Master,  seconded  by  R.  W.  Bro.  Sisel  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: 

Looking  back  on  the  past  year  as  Grand  Chaplain,  it  is  a  year 
never  to  be  forgotten.  More  than  a  distinguished  honor,  the  Office 
of  Grand  Chaplain  gives  a  Mason  a  unique  view  of  the  Fraternity. 
Beyond  the  confines  of  any  district,  he  experiences  the  state  of 
Masonry  in  the  entire  jurisdiction  along  with  the  Grand  Master 
and  other  Grand  Lodge  officers. 

In  Lodge  Dedications,  District  Services  in  various  areas  of  the 
Province  and  in  attending  fraternal  functions,  this  wider  view 
emerges.  Above  all,  the  Grand  Chaplain  represents  the  spiritual 
emphasis  central  to  all  of  Masonry. 

First,  we  give  thanks  to  the  Most  High  for  the  Blessings  of  this 
past  year.  Without  His  sustaining  Grace  and  strength  we  can 
achieve  nothing. 

Secondly,  we  are  grateful  to  you,  Most  Worshipful  Sir,  for 
making  this  year  possible.  In  brotherly  affection  we  have  enjoyed 
our  association  and  know  that  the  friendship  will  continue.  We  can 
give  no  greater  praise  than  to  call  the  Grand  Master  a  true  Mason 
with  all  that  it  implies. 

Thirdly,  we  congratulate  the  jurisdiction's  team  of  District 
Chaplains.  A  finer  team  never  a  man  had  to  work  with!  Without 
exception  dedicated  and  faithful  Brethren,  who  have  worked  with 
their  District  Deputy  Grand  Masters  to  provide  the  spiritual 
emphasis  on  the  district  level. 

Fourthly,  thank  you  to  all  other  Grand  Lodge  officers  and 
Brethren  whom  we  have  met  during  this  past  masonic  year.  Your 
fellowship,  help  and  prayers  will  never  be  forgotten. 


146     GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA  ANNUAL  COMMUNICATION 

Now  for  a  brief  summary  of  the  work  of  the  Grand  Chaplain's 
Office  for  the  past  twelve  months: 

It  was  a  busy  year.  We  have  accepted  all  invitations  to  speak 
at  Divine  Services,  except  those  on  conflicting  dates. 

Without  exception,  all  district  divine  services  were  well  at- 
tended. There  were  several  Lodge  Dedications  and  dedication  of 
regalia  at  anniversaries  and  numerous  other  masonic  functions. 

The  district  chaplains  report  faithful  attendance  at  most  visits 
of  their  District  Deputies.  Sacrificially  they  gave  of  their  time  and 
effort  to  officiate  at  services,  lead  in  grace  and  invocations  and  as- 
sist in  masonic  education,  especially  in  regard  to  the  Volume  of  the 
Sacred  Law. 

Statistics  could  not  do  justice  to  their  efforts  and  we  have  pur- 
posely omitted  them.  However,  we  would  like  to  make  suggestions 
to  assist  them  in  their  work. 

First,  an  official  installation  of  the  District  Chaplain,  at  the 
beginning  of  his  term  along  with  other  district  officers,  perhaps  by 
the  outgoing  District  Deputy,  would  be  a  meaningful  occasion.  It 
could  take  place  as  part  of  a  service  of  worship.  This  would  help  to 
underscore  the  importance  of  the  district  officers  in  the  work  of  the 
D.D.G.M. 

Secondly,  we  urge  the  Committee  on  Masonic  Education  to 
give  consideration  to  preparing  an  outline  of  duties  and  suggested 
functions  for  the  district  chaplain.  Most  of  this  is  now  only  passed 
on  by  word  of  mouth  and  varies  greatly  in  the  experience  of  each 
district. 

Finally,  in  closing  this  report  we  express  our  gratitude  to  our 
Mother  Lodge,  Unity  Lodge  No.  376  in  Huntsville,  for  their 
patience  and  understanding  this  past  masonic  year.  The  Brethren 
provided  me  with  the  Grand  Chaplain's  regalia  and  excused  our 
many  absences  due  to  Grand  Lodge  functions. 

For  all  the  Brethren  in  our  great  jurisdiction,  may  the  Blessing 
of  the  Most  High  rest  upon  this  fraternity  and  the  Brethren 
throughout  the  world. 


Respectfully  submitted

REPORT  OF  THE  COMMITTEE  ON 
FRATERNAL  CORRESPONDENCE 


FOREWORD 


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  my  privilege  to  present  the  Report  of  the  Committee  on 
Fraternal  Correspondence.  This  Report  is  a  foreword  to  the 
reviews  of  the  Annual  Proceedings  of  our  sister  Grand  Lodges. 
From  1961  to  1977  these  reviews  were  prepared  by  R.W.  Bro.  Dr. 
J.  J.  Talman.  This  Grand  Lodge  is  indebted  to  R.W.  Bro.  Talman 
for  his  concise  and  factual  summaries  and  his  ability  to  write  in 
such  a  manner  as  to  interest  the  average  Ontario  Mason  in  the 
work  of  Masonry  beyond  the  borders  of  our  own  jurisdiction.  We 
offer  to  R.W.  Bro.  Talman  our  sincere  appreciation  of  his  efforts 
to  ignite  our  interest  in  the  work  done  in  the  Masonic  world  and 
keeping  that  interest  burning  by  his  especial  talents  used  in  the 
selection  of  pertinent  items  and  combining  them  into  an  easily  read 
and  understandable  result.  We  welcome  R.W.  Bro.  Dr.  C.  A. 
Sankey  to  the  office  of  Reviewer.  It  is  a  mammoth  task.  We  hope 
that  he  will  enjoy  the  challenge,  does  not  find  it  burdensome  and 
reaps  the  satisfaction  attendant  upon  successful  accomplishment. 
We  thank  R.W.  Bro.  Sankey  for  accepting  this  responsibility  at 
this  time. 

Lodges  in  Ontario  continue  to  be  deeply  concerned  with  the 
rise  in  assessments  and  taxes  on  their  buildings.  The  reviews  of 
Alberta.  Connecticut.  Florida  and  Quebec  indicate  similar 
anxieties. 

The  new  Grand  Master  of  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Arkansas  plan- 
ned to  emphasize  the  training  of  junior  officers.  His  advice  could 
well  be  heeded  by  all  junior  officers  in  our  jurisdiction. 

Your  Chairman  has  always  considered  that  the  Investigating 
Committee  on  an  application  for  membership  to  be  one  of  the 
most  important  committees  of  the  constituent  lodge.  It  is 
refreshing  to  read  in  the  review  of  Arkansas  that  a  resolution  was 
presented  by  a  subordinate  lodge  which  was  meant  to  increase  the 
effectiveness  of  investigating  committees.  Unfortunately  it  was 
held  to  be  impractical. 


The  per  capita  dues  to  our  Grand  Lodge  were  increased  to  two 
dollars  in  1976.  The  Brethren  might  be  interested  in  comparing  this 
with  like  dues  in  other  jurisdictions.  Read  Connecticut,  Indiana, 
Maine,  Michigan,  Saskatchewan  and  South  Dakota. 

Your  Committee  feels  that  your  attention  should  be  drawn  to 
the  costs  of  maintaining  Masonic  Homes  in  our  sister  jurisdictions. 
Read  the  reviews  of  Indiana,  Kansas,  Kentucky,  Maryland,  Mas- 
sachusetts, Michigan,  Minnesota,  Nebraska  and  Nova  Scotia. 

The  report  of  Japan,  as  a  whole,  is  earnestly  recommended  to 
your  consideration.  It  indicates  the  progress  that  has  been  made 
during  the  twenty  years  that  this  Grand  Lodge  has  been  in  ex- 
istence in  spite  of  difficulties  which  are  slowly  being  overcome. 

Quotations  from  outstanding  addresses  will  be  found  under 
India,  Texas  and  Virginia. 

Freemasonry  continues  to  challenge  its  members  in  every 
phase  of  life.  Read  what  the  Grand  Master  of  Alberta  has  to  say 
about  a  particular  challenge  he  has  presented  to  his  Brethren. 

This  foreword  is  your  invitation  to  read  about  the  exciting 
events  and  deep  concerns  arising  in  the  Masonic  world.  Your  Com- 
mittee assures  you  that  your  time  will  not  be  wasted  if  you  read  the 
reviews. 

Respectfully  and  fraternally  submitted,  on  behalf  of  the  Com- 
mittee, 

BRUCE  B.  FOSTER, 

Chairman. 


Fraternal  Correspondence  and  Reviews 


Your  new  reviewer  exercises  a  privilege  of  change,  in  giving 
pride  of  place  to  the  conclusion  of  M.W.  Bro.  Mr.  Justice  Madon's 
address  after  his  installation  as  M.W.  Grand  Master  of  India. 
November  27,  1976.  It  is  a  message  to  Masons  throughout  the 
world  and  your  reviewer  warmly  commends  it  to  all  his  brethren. 

"Freemasonry  operates  on  two  planes  -  the  private  and  the 
public.  On  the  private  plane  Freemasonry  consists  of  our  rituals. 
Our  rituals  are  not  just  empty  routine  ceremonies.  They  are  in- 
tended to  convey  to  us,  in  the  form  of  dramatic  representations,  the 
great  moral  and  ethical  lessons  which  Freemasonry  teaches  us. 
Rituals  when  performed  unintelligibly  or  incoherently  lose  all 
meaning.  It  is.  therefore,  necessary  that  rituals  should  be  well  per- 
formed so  that  their  true  meaning  is  unfolded  and  lessons  they  seek 
to  convey  learnt. 

On  the  public  plane  Freemasonry  consists  in  spreading  our 
message  of  Brotherly  Love.  Relief  and  Truth.  Freemasonry  knows 
no  boundaries  of  caste  or  colour,  race  or  religion.  Freemasonry  has 
only  one  creed  -  the  Fatherhood  of  God  and  the  Brotherhood  of 
Man.  Let  us  then  bring  Brotherly  Love  to  a  world  torn  with  strife 
and  divided  by  hatred  so  that  the  world  may  come  to  know  an  era 
of  peace.  ---  The  important  aspect  of  charity  which  Freemasonry 
teaches  us  is  charity  of  the  heart.  It  is  to  see  others  as  others  want 
to  be  seen,  to  look  with  tolerance  and  understanding  upon  their 
failings  and  foibles.  It  is  the  ready  encouraging  word  and  the  quick 
forgiving  heart.  It  is  to  stretch  forth  the  helping  hand,  unsought 
and  unsolicited,  not  only  to  other  Freemasons  but  to  all  men.  --- 

But  above  all,  there  is  Truth.  A  man  cannot  live  on  the 
material  plane  alone.  There  is  a  hunger  in  the  heart  of  each  man  to 
understand  the  meaning  and  purpose  of  life,  but  here  our 
knowledge  fails  us  and  logic  is  powerless.  It  is  not  given  to  any  man 
to  see  the  face  of  Eternal  Truth,  though  a  few,  albeit  a  very  few, 
may  at  times  glimpse  it,  but  let  us  at  least  by  the  rectitude  of  our 
actions  and  the  integrity  of  our  character  acquire  the  ability  to 
detect  untruth  wherever  it  be  and  to  recognize  truth  when  we  see  it. 
Let  us  all  then  this  evening,  as  we  embark  upon  this  new  decade, 
solemnly  pledge  ourselves  to  be  ambassadors  of  Brotherly  Love, 
crusaders  in  the  cause  of  Relief  and  earnest  seekers  after  Truth; 
and  may  the  Most  High  God  aid  our  united  endeavours."

The  reports  of  the  Masonic  Home  showed  65  residents,  a 
decrease  of  13.  Total  expenses  are  listed  at  S637.000.  Architect's 
fees  were  paid  for  construction  plans  for  a  new  Masonic  Home  and 
all  Home  assets  (over  S6  million)  were  transferred  to  the  "Masonic 
Home  Building  Fund".  Historical  data  on  the  Home  from  its 
founding  in  1913  are  being  assembled. 

The  Committee  on  Masonic  Education  suggested  that  the>  be 
given  the  status  of  a  Grand  Lodge  standing  committee,  with  budget 
to  promote  workshops  etc.  They  also  recommended  approval  lor 
multiple  degree  conferral.  These  were  rejected  by  the  Committee 
on  Masonic  Jurisprudence,  who  also  moved  deletion  from  the 
education  committee  report  of  an  additional  proposal  "owing  to 
much  confusion  and  objection".  It  must  have  been  realK  radical' 

The  Grand  Master  attended  150  lodges  in  the  state  (including 
20   installations)  and    14  outside,   numerous  assemblies  of  co- 
ordinate bodies,  as  well  as  other  Grand  Lodges.  There  uere

Grand  Lodge  opened  with  an  evening  session  which  comprised 
the  reception  of  distinguished  visitors  (including  our  M.W.  Bro.

mittee to  clear  several  notices  of  motion  for  action  the  following 
day;  the  Grand  Master's  address;  and  a  report  on  the  twelfth  an- 
nual Masonic  Spring  Workshop. 

The  Grand  Master,  M.W.  Bro.  Aspeslet,  referred  to  two  con- 
ferences: of  the  officers  of  the  four  Western  Canadian  Jurisdictions 
at  Banff,  September  9-11  and  of  the  Grand  Lodges  of  Canada  at 
Calgary,  February  17-18.  Topics  discussed  focussed  on  the  func- 
tioning of  masonry  in  today's  world.  The  Grand  Master  attended 
District  Meetings  in  each  of  the  20  districts.  The  attendance  of 
Master  Masons  and  some  informal  question  and  answer  sessions 
were  encouraged.  The  G.M.  also  attended  numerous  installations, 
presiding  at  only  one  because  "it  is  not  even  desirable"  for  Grand 
Lodge  Officers  to  install  Lodge  Officers.  He  made  a  point  of 
visiting  Lodges  which  no  Grand  Master  had  attended  in  recent 
years.  Dispensations  were  refused  for  the  conferral  of  6  M.M. 
degrees  at  an  open  air  ceremony  and  for  holding  a  special  meeting 
of  a  Lodge  on  Sunday  for  the  election  of  officers.  Finally,  "I 
would,  my  Brethren,  leave  you  with  a  challenge.  Let  us  endeavour 
to  get  away  from  the  service  club  atmosphere  which  seems  to  be 
creeping  into  our  Craft.  Masonry,  I  am  sure,  is  something  of  the 
heart,  not  what  we  wear  as  pin  and  jewel  or  what  we  tack  up  on  the 
wall  in  the  form  of  scrolls."  The  committee  on  the  G.M.s  address 
was  made  up  of  one  past  Grand  Master,  one  past  D.D.G.M.  and 
one  Past  Master. 

The  Masonic  Spring  Workshop  at  Banff  had  an  attendance  of 
554  under  the  theme  "Walking  Tall."  The  book  stall  had  sales  of 
$2000!  (We  wish  we  had  equivalent  masonic  book  buying  habits.) 

The  report  on  the  Condition  of  Masonry  includes  highlights 
from  each  District  Deputy's  report.  Taxation  is  a  major  problem. 
Taxes  on  the  Edmonton  Temple  were  $28,000.  In  smaller  centres, 
several  lodge  buildings  were  sold  and  one  Lodge  gave  their  hall  to 
the  community  to  alleviate  the  tax  problems.  With  population 
shifts,  a  number  of  small  rural  lodges  with  few  resident  members 
are  in  serious  difficulties.  Some  amalgamations  are  inevitable.  The 
city  lodges  are  prosperous.

FRATERNAL  CORRESPONDENCE  7 

There  were  6  special  communications  of  Grand  Lodge  (5  cor- 
nerstones, 1  new  lodge  constitution).  The  Grand  Orator  spoke  at 
each  (his  ms.  being  deposited  in  the  cornerstone).  An  honour  guard 
from  the  4°  Knights  of  Columbus  was  present  at  one  of  these  occa- 
sions. 

The  Grand  Master,  M.W.  Bro.  Nelson,  in  his  address, 
emphasized  "that  leadership,  communication  among  your  officers 
and  brethren,  is  the  secret  of  progress  of  our  Great  Fraternity."  He 
advocated  "more  family  involvement  in  lodge  activity  and  in  sup- 
porting our  youth  programs."  He  refused  permission  for  a  non- 
Mason  C.P.A.  to  audit  lodge  accounts. 

There  is  a  Masonic  Home  Endowment  Fund,  and  several 
related  funds,  but  no  Masonic  Home.  Some  of  the  available 
revenue  was  used  for  specific  benevolent  and  lodge  purposes.  Five 
scholarships  of  $500  each  were  given  (there  were  48  applications). 
Next  year  there  will  be  10  scholarships  of  $750  each. 

The  Committee  on  Fraternal  Correspondence  renewed  a 
recommendation  that  Grand  Representatives  submit  reviews  of  the 
proceedings  of  their  respective  Grand  Lodges.  No  reviews  were 
printed.

A  resolution  was  presented  by  a  subordinate  lodge  at  Grand 
Lodge  to  require  not  less  than  two  members  of  each  candidate's  in- 
vestigation committee  to  visit  the  home  of  the  applicant  together, 
and  to  include  the  wife  and  family  in  the  discussion.  This  was 
received  "not  unsympathetically"  but  held  to  be  impractical. 

There  were  8  special  communications,  all  for  dedication  of 
premises  or  of  memorial  plaques. 

Twenty-nine  Masonic  trials  were  dealt  with  by  the  Committee 
on  Appeals  and  Grievances.  The  result  was  12  expulsions  (9  for 
selling  liquor,  a  liquor  selling  licence  in  a  wife's  name  being  appro- 
priate evidence)  and  16  suspensions.

The  new  Grand  Master  planned  to  emphasize  training  af 
junior  officers.  "During  the  ceremonies  of  installation  is  not  the 
time  to  be  planning  for  your  role  as  Master  -  that  planning  begins 
upon  your  appointment  or  election  as  Junior  Deacon". 

The  newly  appointed  D.D.G.M.s  were  installed  at  a  private 
ceremony  in  December  when  they  received  their  aprons  and  in- 
structions. 

Resolutions  were  introduced  to  elect  and  install  officers  of  all 
lodges  in  December  and  to  move  the  annual  communication  of 
Grand  Lodge  to  February.  The  necessary  constitutional  amend- 
ments, including  changes  in  the  fiscal  vear,  will  be  voted  on  in 
1978.

Grand  Lodge  formally  received  the  Honourable  the  Lieuten- 
ant Governor,  R.W.  Bro.  Walter  S.  Owen.  Our  M.W.  Bro. 
Nancekivell  was  one  of  the  distinguished  guests. 

The  Grand  Master,  M.W.  Bro.  Mitchell,  is  obviously  a  warm 
outgoing  person.  His  address  was  cast  as  an  expression  of  thanks 
for  assistance  and  support  during  each  stage  of  a  busy  year. 

At  Grand  Lodge,  William  Tyre  was  given  the  rank  of  Past 
Grand  Master  for  "over  60  years  service  to  this  Grand  Lodge."  A 
resolution  providing  for  gold  braid  on  regalia  for  Lodges  of  100 
years  standing  was  defeated. 

The  D. D.G.Ms,  are  strictly  representatives  of  the  Grand 
Master  to  their  district,  not  of  the  district  to  the  G.M.  A  sugges- 
tion for  consultation  with  the  District  W.Ms,  for  submission  of 
three  names  from  which  the  new  Grand  Master  might  choose  his 
D.D.G.M.  was  modified  to  requesting  the  present  D.D.G.M.  to 
consult  some  P. D. D.G.Ms,  and  make  suggestions.  Constitutional 
amendments  will  be  proposed  next  year.  There  will  also  be  some 
distinctive  regalia  for  brethren  with  V.W.  rank. 

Grand  Lodge  recognized  the  Grand  Lodge  of  the  Dominican 
Republic.

M.W.  Bro.  Nancekivell  attended  the  annual  communication 
and  spoke  on  behalf  of  the  Canadian  delegates. 

The  Grand  Master,  M.W.  Bro.  Chapman,  had  been  especially 
concerned  with  the  minimal  use  of  masonic  temples,  with  taxes. 
and  insurance  costs.  One  of  the  standing  committees  initiated  a 
two-year  study.  Their  first  report  was  largely  fact-finding.  76%  of 
the  temples  have  limited  or  no  use  for  non-masonic  functions,  and 
61%  earn  less  than  S500  per  year  for  such  use.  Half  the  temples 
cost  less  than  S4.000  per  year  to  operate.  Seven  temples  cost  over 
$12,000.  Approximately  one  third  paid  over  S3.000  in  taxes,  over 
SI. 000  for  insurance  and  over  S3.000  for  utilities.  Only  8  temples 
of  72  had  mortgages.  Interim  recommendations  were:  insurance 
seminars  for  Temple  officers;  attempts  to  get  state  tax  relief  for 
buildings  with  no  commercial  revenue:  and  special  local  commit- 
tees to  promote  greater  use  occupancy. 

Substantial  emphasis  was  placed  in  youth  groups  DeMolay 
and  Rainbow.  A  constitutional  amendment  to  reduce  the  age  for 
initiation  to  18  was  defeated. 

Grand  Lodge  dues  comprise  S10  per  member  for  the  Masonic 
Charity  Foundation.  $3.50  per  capita  tax  and  SO. 50  for  specified 
other  purposes,  for  a  total  of  $14  per  member  per  year.  Total 
Lodge  dues  must  be  really  high.

Bicentennial  celebrations  played  a  large  part  in  the  year's  ac- 
tivities. A  special  convocation  and  service  were  held  on  Saturday. 
May  29th  in  Bethlehem  Chapel,  Washington  National  Cathedral, 
to  honour  heroes  of  the  past  and  solicit  divine  favour  and  guidance. 
The  principal  speaker  (and,  from  your  reviewer's  personal 
knowledge,  they  could  hardly  have  had  a  finer  one)  was  111.  Bro. 
George  A.  Newbury,  Past  Sovereign  Grand  Commander,  A.  & 
A.S.R.,  N.M.J.,  who  gave  "A  Salute  to  Patriotism".  The 
"Washington  Bible"  from  Fredericksburg  Lodge  No.  4,  Va.  and 
the  "George  Washington  Gavel"  from  Potomac  Lodge  No.  5. 
D.C.,  and  other  Washington  memorabilia,  were  presented. 
Another  special  Communication  was  held  October  9th  to  com- 
memorate the  laying  of  the  cornerstone  of  the  District  of  Columbia 
near  Jones  Point  lighthouse  by  Alexandria  Lodge  No.  22.  The  text 
of  a  Philadelphia  newspaper  with  dateline  April  21,  1791  was  read. 
Part  of  the  original  dedicatory  prayer  read: — 

"May  this  stone  long  commemorate  the  goodness  of  God  in 
these  uncommon  events  which  have  given  America  a  name  among 
nations.  Under  this  stone  may  jealousy  and  selfishness  be  forever 
buried.  From  this  stone  may  a  superstructure  arise,  whose  glory, 
whose  magnificence,  whose  stability,  unequalled  hitherto,  shall 
astonish  the  world,  and  invite  even  the  savage  of  the  wilderness  to 
take  shelter  under  its  roof." 

There  are  serious  financial  problems  for  the  Temple  at 
Washington.  Capital  reserves  had  been  depleted  to  effect  past 
repairs.  Strong  corrective  action,  unfortunately  long  overdue,  is 
being  undertaken.

an  Educational  Trust,  a  Foundation,  and  a  Central  (or  Grand) 
Charity.  It  will  take  several  years  to  complete  the  transition.  The 
per  capita  fees  were  increased  from  16p  to  £1.2  for  brethren  in 
London  and  from  8p  to  £1  for  brethren  in  the  provinces.  The 
number  of  lodges  increased  by  65.  Over  18,000  Grand  Lodge  cer- 
tificates were  issued. 

1,742  brethren  attended  the  annual  investiture.  The  Grand 
Master,  Pro  Grand  Master,  Deputy  Grand  Master  and  Assistant 
Grand  Master  were  proclaimed  by  their  "several  styles  and  titles". 
H.  R.  H.  the  Duke  of  Kent  has  completed  a  decade  in  office  as 
Grand  Master. 

At  the  June  meeting,  £75,000  was  granted  to  the  Queen's 
Silver  Jubilee  Appeal  and,  "in  Masonic  commemoration  of  this 
great  event",  special  donations  of  £20,000  to  "each  of  the  Masonic 
Institutions  and  to  the  Samaritan  Fund  of  the  Royal  Masonic 
Hospital".  22  new  lodges  were  warranted.  Six  lodges  in  the  Sudan 
and  one  in  Bahrain  were  "erased  from  the  roll",  as,  under  present 
conditions,  there  was  "no  prospect  of  their  being  revived". 

In  the  September  meeting  11  new  lodges  were  warranted.  A 
warning  was  issued  to  brethren  visiting  lodges  overseas  not  only 
that  the  Grand  Lodge  of  reference  had  to  be  recognized  by  the 
United  Grand  Lodge  of  England,  but  also  that  there  must  be  no  co- 
visitors  from  another  jurisdiction  not  so  recognized.  "Such  a  situa- 
tion calls  for  tact  and  diplomacy  in  withdrawing  without  giving  of- 
fence -  but  the  duty  (to  the  English  Constitution)  transcends  the  ap- 
parent calls  for  courtesy".  (What  would  you  do?) 

At  the  December  meeting:  7  new  lodges  were  warranted  and  2 
erased  (one  in  Bangladesh,  one  in  England).  The  automatic  period 
for  suspension  N.P.D.  was  decreased  from  3  years  to  2. 

The  quarterly  reports  list  additions  to  the  Grand  Lodge 
library  and  museum.  Many  of  these  are  of  recent  origin  but  there 
was  a  collection  of  32  craft  and  Royal  Arch  certificates  1794-1899 
and  a  collection  of  "between  2000  and  2500  volumes,  pamphlets 
and  manuscript  works"  on  permanent  loan  from  the  G.L.  of  Mark 
Master  Masons  of  England  and  Wales"  and  some  glass  and

This  small  but  active  Grand  Lodge  has  recorded  a  gain  in 
membership  each  year  since  1970.  A  brief  summary  in  English  at 
the  end  of  the  proceedings  refers  to  "musical  executions".  Several 
pictures  attest  to  both  vocal  and  instrumental  presentations,  in- 
cluding an  original  composition  (excerpts  of  the  score  are 
published  in  the  proceedings)  for  "Lux  Aeterna,"  ("And  God  said 
'Let  there  be  Light'.")  The  score  is  of  a  difficulty  to  require  signifi- 
cant musical  competence  so  it  can  hardly  have  been  intended  for 
general  lodge  use. 

Finland  has  four  grades  of  a  "Badge  of  Merit."  Five  brethren 
received  "the  Grand  Badge  of  Merit"  and  there  were  numerous 
presentations  in  Classes  I,  II  and  III.

The  Grand  Master  issued  12  "executive  orders'*,  one  order  to 
every  lodge  was  "to  assist  in  establishing  eligibility  for  tax  exemp- 
tion" by  setting  aside  a  portion  of  every  stated  meeting  for  a  lec- 
ture or  discussion  of  some  Masonic  or  local  community  charity  --- 
which  members  be  urged  to  support  ---  and  record  be  made  in  the 
minutes;  the  lodge  bulletin  to  note  the  above;  lodge  facilities  to  be 
made  available  at  or  below  cost  to  charitable  groups  who  do  not 
have  their  own  facilities;  the  Lodge  Board  of  Relief  to  meet  "fre- 
quently" and  report  at  the  Lodge;  that  every  Lodge  contribute  to 
some  community  charitv. 


The  Grand  Master's  schedule  was  hectic  but  well  organized. 
12  cornerstones  were  laid,  including  the  Capitol  Building  at  Tal- 
lahassee. 2  museums.  2  schools  and  a  county  public  works 
building.  Visitations  were  made  in  and  out  of  state  for  180  days 
during  the  year.  Two  lodges  were  consecrated,  dedicated  and  con- 
stituted. Dispensations  for  two  more  lodges  were  issued. 

The  Grand  Master  made  16  specific  recommendations  dealing 
with  regulations  and  the  majority  of  these  were  approved.  One 
dealt  with  acceptance  of  evidence  of  conviction  of  a  felony  under 
federal  or  state  law  as  sufficient  for  action  for  U.M.C..  subject  to 
the  right  of  the  accused  to  present  evidence  in  mitigation  and  of  the 
right  to  appeal  to  Grand  Lodge.  Another  recommended  a 
pamphlet  "Freemasonry  -  truths  and  myths"  be  made  available  for 
distribution  to  non-members.  Twenty-five  identification  cards 
were  issued  to  qualified  Cuban  Masons  to  permit  them  to  affiliate 
with  Florida  lodges. 

The  Masonic  Home  averaged  151  residents  and  includes  a 
comprehensive  care  centre.  Operation  cost  was  S7.675  per  resident. 
A  Masonic  Relief  Care  Investigator  was  recommended  to  speed  up 
evaluation  of  applicants.  The  Masonic  Home  endowment  funds  ex- 
ceed S8.8  million,  divided  roughly  21%  U.S.  treasury  securities. 
50%  other  bonds  and  29%  corporate  stocks. 

The  Masonic  Education  Committee  provides  a  qualification 
examination  of  50  questions  for  Masters.  The  many  Committee 
reports  are  clear  and  specific  in  their  conclusions. 

Your  reviewer  is  impressed  by  the  competence  of  M.W.  Bro. 
Griffie  and  it  was  a  pleasure  to  read  the  proceedings  of  this  well 
organized,  diligent  and  growing  Grand  Lodge.

IDAHO  —  1977 

110th  Annual  Communication  —  September  15,  16,  17 

Grand  Master  M.W.  Bro.  E.  D.  Pippitt  1976-77 
Grand  Master  M.W.  Bro.  A.  T.  Kauffman  1977- 

Lodges  84  Membership  12,043  Loss  136 

The  Grand  Master,  M.W.  Bro.  Pippitt,  stressed  lodge 
finances;  "many  lodges  still  have  their  heads  in  the  sand  when  it 
comes  to  finances.  (They)  have  expenses  that  exceed  their  income 
from  dues,  draining  any  reserves  just  to  pay  current  expenses."  He 
promoted  prepaid  Life  Membership:  "We  have  the  simplest  and 
finest  Life  Membership  program  of  any  Grand  Lodge."  (No 
details  in  the  proceedings).  The  Grand  Master  also  emphasized 
Masonry's  public  image:  "The  more  we  espouse  and  expose  the 
principles  of  Masonry  to  the  public,  the  more  interest  we  incur." 

Grand  Lodge  has  done  very  well  with  its  investments,  current 
value  being  114%  of  cost.  The  Committee  on  Masonic  Resource 
and  Education  updated  manuals  for  District  Deputies,  for 
Wardens,  for  Secretaries  and  for  Coaches.  The  Committee  on 
Fraternal  Relations  has  a  single  page  report,  although  referring  to 
proceedings  "from  approximately  one  hundred  Grand  Lodges." 
The  Grand  Orator  referred  to  the  "disastrous"  attrition  (35%!) 
between  initiations  and  raisings.  This  is  the  same  percentage  as 
reported  in  1976  and  indicates  a  serious  flaw. 

There  was  one  special  Communication  for  laying  the  corner- 
stone of  a  high  school.

There  were  12  "occasional"  meetings  of  Grand  Lodge  -  2  to 
constitute  new  lodges,  2  cornerstones,  8  dedications. 

A  Masonic  Blood  Bank  was  established  in  1976.  It  is  now  ade- 
quately organized  and  donation  of  20,000  units  is  anticipated  for 
1977-8.

The  Grand  Secretary,  R.W.  Bro.  P.  R.  Stephens,  retired  after 
16  years  service  and  was  succeeded  by  R.W.  Bro.  R.  L.  Wyckoff. 

A  constitutional  amendment  to  permit  dual  (but  not  multiple) 
membership  was  approved. 

Serious  loss  of  membership  in  metropolitan  Chicago  con- 
tinues, -  a  net  loss  of  8.35  for  each  new  member,  but  new  lodges  are 
being  formed  in  suburbia.  A  "Committee  on  Metropolitan 
Masonry"  is  active  and  making  useful  suggestions.  The  Commit- 
tee on  Lodges  notes  increasingly  severe  taxation  on  temples,  inade- 
quate initiation  and  annual  lodge  fees  and,  correctly,  criticizes  a 
"bargain  basement"  approach  to  masonry.  They  also  recommend 
a  personal  visit  of  two  brethren  before  any  suspension  N.P.D.  Dur- 
ing the  year,  2  new  lodges  were  constituted  but  there  were  9  con- 
solidations. 

The  Illinois  Lodge  of  Research,  chartered  in  1976,  has  475 
members.  There  are  plans  for  publication  of  "a  complete  history  of 
Illinois  Freemasonry". 

The  Grand  Lodge  of  Pernambuco,  Brazil,  was  recognized. 

The  Masonic  Home  had  272  residents  at  an  average  cost  of 
$8,000.  The  Home  capital  endowment  reached  $20.4  million. 
There  were  5  large  donations  from  estates  (2  of  $1  million  or  over). 
One  estate  of  $800,000  was  used  for  renovations  and  new  construc- 
tion. The  Children's  Home  had  19  residents  (cost  $13,500  per 
child),  including  2  attending  college.  It  has  just  over  $6  million  en- 
dowment. 

Fraternal  reviews  of  61  jurisdictions  are  included  in  the 
proceedings.  Our  Grand  Lodge  receives  generous  comment.

tion is  given,  but  one  may  perhaps  be  permitted  to  speculate  that 


16  GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA 

the  functioning  at  the  time  of  the  Supreme  Court  in  decisions  af- 
fecting a  critical  political  situation  in  India  may  have  been  in- 
volved. R.W.  Bro.  C.  D.  Natarajan,  now  the  Grand  Secretary, 
acted  as  G.M.  in  the  interregnum.  Mr.  Justice  D.  P.  Madon  was 
elected  Grand  Master  by  the  Electoral  College  May  16th  and  in- 
stalled on  November  27,  1976.  The  proceedings  available  for 
review  are  limited  to  the  installation  of  the  Grand  Lodge  officers. 
The  only  statistics  are  in  a  brief  report  with  audited  financial  state- 
ments. 

The  installation  ceremonies  were  impressive  and  the  new 
Grand  Master  is  obviously  a  man  of  ability,  intelligence, 
scholarship,  integrity  and  humanity.  A  quotation  from  his  speech 
following  his  installation  is  given  at  the  beginning  of  these  fraternal 
reviews. 

Here  is  part  of  M.W.  Bro.  Madon's  "installation  message"  to 
his  brethren: 

"There  is  one  task  which  urgently  awaits  us,  a  task  in  which 
we  can  fulfil  our  real  role  as  Freemasons.  The  last  three  decades 
and  half  have  been  the  most  hectic  and  go-ahead  in  the  history  of 
man's  achievements.  No  period  in  history  can  match  the  progress 
we  have  made  in  science  and  technology.  ---  Fantastic  scientific 
discoveries  have  been  made  with  such  breath-taking  frequency  that 
they  are  no  longer  looked  upon  as  wonders.  ---  Man  has  walked  on 
the  moon  and  stripped  it  of  its  mystery  and  magic  so  that  to  the 
boys  and  girls  of  today  the  moon  no  more  stands  for  love  but 
signifies  only  space-ships  and  astronauts.  Man  has  sent  a  machine 
to  Mars  and  commanded  it  from  here  to  scoop  earth.  Mars  is  no 
more  the  god  of  war  but  is  a  collection  of  scientific  data.  We  live  in 
an  age  of  change,  an  age  of  experiment.  We  are  no  more  satisfied 
with  what  we  have,  but  must  for  ever  be  seeking  something  new. 
something  different  -  ever  restless,  ever  discontent.  We  want  a 
short-cut  to  everything  -  to  knowledge,  to  culture,  to  success.  We 
have,  therefore,  substituted  computerized  data  for  knowledge,  cap- 
suled information  for  culture  and  we  want  to  get  to  the  top  of  the 
ladder  of  success  in  a  helicopter,  for  climbing  it  rung  by  rung  ap- 
pears to  us  too  slow  and  laborious  a  process.  To  do  this  we  have 
jettisoned  our  moral  values.  ---  The  first  casualties  have  been  in- 
tegrity and  a  moral  conscience.  ---  The  old  virtues  are  despised  as 
old-fashioned  and  out-dated,  and  an  honest  man  is  looked  upon  as 
an  object  of  pity  for  being  an  unpractical  fool.  ---  More  than  ever 
are  these  lines  of  T.  S.  Eliot,  written  forty-two  years  ago,  true 
today: —

'Endless  invention,  endless  experiment, 
Brings  knowledge  of  motion,  but  not  of  stillness; 
Knowledge  of  speech,  but  not  of  silence; 
Knowledge  of  words  and  ignorance  of  the  Word, 
All  our  knowledge  brings  us  nearer  to  our  ignorance. 
All  our  ignorance  brings  us  nearer  to  our  death, 
But  nearness  to  death  no  nearer  to  GOD, 
Where  is  the  Life  we  have  lost  in  living? 
Where  is  the  wisdom  we  have  lost  in  knowledge? 
Where  is  the  knowledge  we  have  lost  in  information?' 

The  principles  and  tenets  of  our  Order  teach  us  to  measure 
our  actions  by  the  rule  of  rectitude,  to  square  our  conduct  by  the 
principles  of  morality,  and  to  guide  our  inclinations,  and  even  our 
thoughts,  within  the  compass  of  propriety.  Let  us  then,  as 
Freemasons,  strive  to  bring  about  a  resurgence  of  the  old  moral 
values.  Let  us  resolve  on  this  occasion  to  translate  our  principles 
and  tenets  into  our  lives  and  conduct,  and  our  teachings  and 
doctrines  into  our  acts  and  deeds.  Let  us  seek  to  restore  in 
ourselves,  and  by  precept  and  example  in  others,  uprightness  of 
conduct  and  integrity  of  character.  I  exhort  all  my  Brethren,  not  as 
Grand  Master,  but  as  a  brother  to  his  Brethren,  to  strive  towards 
this  end,  so  that  we  may  become  an  ornament  to  our  Order  and  a 
pride  to  our  country." 

INDIANA— 1977 

160th  Annual  Communication  —  May  17,  18 

Grand  Master  M.W.  Bro.  R.  K.  Smith  1976-77 
Grand  Master  M.W.  Bro.  R.  O.  Turner  1977- 

Lodges  548  plus  1  U.D.  Membership  155,535  Loss  1,645 

Our  M.W.  Bro.  E.  W.  Nancekivell  attended  the  annual  com- 
munication. 

The  constituent  lodges  had  undertaken,  in  1975,  as  a  major 
bicentennial  project,  to  raise  $2  per  member  for  the  restoration  and 
endowment  of  Schofield  House  in  Madison,  the  building  in  which 
the  Grand  Lodge  of  Indiana  had  been  constituted  in  1818.  Just 
over  half  of  this  amount  had  been  donated  and,  as  most  of  the 
work  had  been  done.  Grand  Lodge  voted  to  make  the  committed 
payment  by  each  lodge  mandatory. 

The  proceedings  are  unique  in  the  clarity  and  organization  of 
basic  financial  information  and  statistical  tables.  Funds  under  the 


18  GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA 

control  of  Grand  Lodge  are  dominated  by  the  financing  of  the 
Masonic  Home,  to  whose  requirements  $6.4  million  of  $6.75  mil- 
lion capital,  and  $4.2  million  of  $4.54  budget  are  allocated.  The  per 
capita  tax  for  1977  will  be  $11.25,  of  which  $9  is  for  the  Home. 
There  are  441  guests,  122  over  90  years  of  age  (oldest  101).  Slightly 
over  half  are  in  "residence"  (annual  cost  $5,891  each),  the 
remainder  in  "hospital"  (annual  cost  $1 1,603  each).  Improvements 
are  continually  being  made,  e.g.,  a  new  dispensary,  a  call  system 
from  each  room  in  the  residence,  and  power  plant  emission  con- 
trol. 

Grand  Lodge  ceremonies  included  constitution  and  consecra- 
tion of  1  new  lodge,  8  new  temple  dedications,  4  lodge  centennials. 
The  Grand  Master  approved  186  "table  lodges"  for  St.  John  the 
Evangelist's  day,  with  441  lodges  participating. 

The  Grand  Master,  in  a  formal  proclamation,  requested  each 
temple  to  erect  a  flag  pole  or  flagstaff  (if  not  already  installed)  and 
to  display  the  Stars  and  Stripes  on  appropriate  anniversaries,  in- 
cluding 15  stated  dates. 

The  Committee  on  Foreign  Fraternal  Relations  recom- 
mended against  any  action  on  recognition  of  the  Grand  Orient  of 
Brazil  or  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Cuba.  They  expressed  concern  as  to 
the  Masonic  situation  in  Italy  and  reported  that  rumours  of  "grave 
irregularities"  in  Belgium  appeared  to  be  unfounded. 

Unfortunately,  Fraternal  Reviews  are  not  in  the  proceedings. 
65  proceedings  of  62  jurisdictions  had  been  reviewed  with  publica- 
tion in  the  "Indiana  Freemason".  As  the  reviewer  is  M.W.  Bro. 
Dwight  L.  Smith,  they  were  unquestionably  pertinent,  instructive, 
interesting  and  well  worth  reading.

Having  completed  its  first  20  years,  this  Grand  Lodge  serious- 
ly enters  the  second  phase  of  its  existence,  that  of  reducing 
dependence  on  American  personnel  and  on  the  American  military 
presence,  and  becoming  a  primarily  Japanese  institution. 


FRATERNAL  CORRESPONDENCE  19 

The  Community  Relations  Committee  reports:  "Unfor- 
tunately, the  average  Japanese  man  on  the  street  is  not  aware  of  us 
or  our  functions.  For  the  most  part,  he  has  no  ties  with  the  military 
community  where  many  of  our  Masonic  functions  occur. . .  Things 
have  started  to  happen.  Events  have  caught  the  eyes  of  the 
Japanese  people.  Questions  are  being  asked.  Who  are  these 
Masons?  .  .  .  (Our)  Children's  Charity  Festival  was  picked  up  by 
several  of  the  media  and  presented  in  a  manner  that  dispelled  much 
of  these  rumors  .  .  .  Our  small  but  extremely  active  Lodge  in  Wak- 
kanai,  Hokkaido  was  able  to  put  into  operation  their  voice  library

dogs  .  .  .  Donations  (have  been  made  by  Grand  Lodge)  to  the  Sight 
Assistance  equipment  for  the  blind  school  at  Yokohama." 

Substantial  progress  was  made  on  revised  translations  of  the 
ritual  into  Japanese. 

The  Grand  Master.  M.W.  Bro.  Nishiyama,  attended  the 
Grand  Masters'  Conference  of  North  America  and  was  selected  to 
respond  to  the  Chairman's  introduction  of  representatives  of 
Foreign  Jurisdictions.

There  were  20  special  communications,  the  most  prestigious 
being  for  the  cornerstone  of  the  new  Supreme  Court  Building 
which  was  laid  by  "Chief  Justice  Harold  R.  Fatzer,  assisted  by  the 
Grand  Lodge  A.F.  &  A.M.  of  Kansas,  Ralph  D.  Walker,  Grand 
Master."  Some  1,500  people  attended.  There  was  a  special  tristate 
communication  near  their  common  border  attended  by  the  Grand 
Masters  and  Grand  Lodges  of  Colorado,  Nebraska  and  Kansas 
and  7  special  communications  to  dedicate  markers  for  graves  of 
past  Grand  Masters. 

The  Grand  Master  obviously  promoted  public  activity.  In  his 
address  to  Grand  Lodge  he  said:  "We  cannot  place  ourselves  in  the 
public  light  too  often.  People  must  realize  that  we  are  an  organiza- 
tion for  good,  based  on  ancient  rule  and  ancient  principles.  I 
believe  that,  as  Grand  Master,  public  relations  is  one  of  the  prin- 
cipal duties  of  the  office,"  and  on  another  occasion  he  asked: 


20  GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA 

"Does  anyone  in  the  community  know  you  are  a  Mason?  Tell 
someone  tomorrow  where  you  were  tonight  and  if  you  had  a  good 
time.'" 

The  Grand  Master  wrote  to  every  mason  who  had  been 
suspended  for  non-payment  of  dues  during  1975;  to  every  member 
of  DeMolay  between  18  and  21  telling  them  that  no  one  would  ask 
them  to  join  Masonry,  but  that  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Kansas  was  a 
progressive  Grand  Lodge  which  accepted  18  year  olds;  a  personal 
letter  to  each  recipient  of  a  50-year  designation;  and  a  letter  to 
every  master  mason  in  the  jurisdiction  asking  for  his  interest  in  the 
Masonic  Home  and  the  Masonic  Foundation. 

The  Grand  Master  removed  one  lodge  Secretary  from  office 
for  persistent  and  continuing  objection  to  the  G.M.'s  appointment 
of  his  district's  D.D.G.M.  and  unwarranted  criticism  of  the 
D.D.G.M.,  even  after  the  Grand  Master  visited  the  lodge  in  ques- 
tion in  an  attempt  to  settle  the  issue. 

Strong  corrective  action  was  taken  by  the  Grand  Master  in 
the  financing  of  the  Kansas  Masonic  Home.  Its  expenses  of  $1.25 
million  per  annum  were  reducing  the  capital  (over  $6  million)  of 
the  Kansas  Masonic  Foundation  Inc.  by  as  much  as  $250,000  per 
year  —  obviously  an  untenable  situation.  Negotiations  were  in- 
itiated with  Federal  Medicade  and  Medicare  which  may  assist  very 
materially;  details  of  "life-care"  contracts  for  new  residents  were 
revised;  the  Grand  Master's  letter  campaign  more  than  doubled 
voluntary  contributions  to  the  Foundation  from  $32,000  to  over 
$75,000.  Progress  was  made  in  bringing  the  home  up  to  present- 
day  health  and  safety  standards.  An  attempt  to  raise  the  per  capita 
assessment  for  the  home  from  $1.50  to  $5.00  failed  (trying  for  too 
much?).  Serious  problems  remain  but  the  positive  and  constructive 
efforts  must  be  commended. 

*  The  Public  School  committee  was  active  with  substantial  es- 
say prizes  ("Public  Schools  in  the  Next  Century"),  distribution  of 
the  Declaration  of  Independence  (complete  with  masonic  emblems 
and  state  flags)  and  participation  in  "American  Heritage  —  Public 
Schools  Month."

FRATERNAL  CORRESPONDENCE  21 

The  Annual  Communication  turned  out  to  be  quite  a  session 
as  a  new  Constitution  was  adopted.  Consideration  of  this  was  the 
only  item  of  business  for  the  afternoon  session  of  October  20th  and 
this  was  adjourned  to  an  evening  session  from  8:30  p.m.  to  2:55 
a.m.  before  it  was  all  settled,  over  10  hours  of  debate!  The 
proceedings  do  not  detail  or  summarize  what  points  were  in  con- 
tention, or  subject  to  procedural  manoeuvre,  but  record  only  the 
final  formal  brief  resolutions.  There  is,  however,  a  long  section  on 
details  of  numerous  amendments  to  "the  Revised  Constitution" 
submitted  prior  to  the  meeting  by  "the  elected  Grand  Lodge  Of- 
ficers." Of  these  at  least  four  may  well  have  been  provocative: — 

Under  Electioneering:  "Adoption  of  a  resolution  by  a  subor- 
dinate lodge  stating  the  qualifications  and  recommending  one  of  its 
members  for  an  elective  office  in  the  Grand  Lodge,  and  the  mailing 
of  said  resolution  to  the  subordinate  lodges  and  Masons  in  Ken- 
tucky shall  not  be  considered  a  violation  of  this  section;  provided 
that  a  lodge  may  not  issue  more  than  one  letter  and  that  letter  shall 
not  contain  any  solicitation  of  support  —  (etc.  with  some  ad- 
ditional safeguards.)" 

Under  Governing  Statewide  Jurisdiction:  "when  a  candidate 
petitions  a  lodge  other  than  the  one  closest  to  his  residence,  he 
must  submit  in  writing  his  reason  for  petitioning  this  lodge."  and 
"the  lodge  nearest  the  residence  of  the  petitioner  must  conduct  an 
investigation.  —  The  results  must  be  submitted  to  the  lodge 
petitioned  (which)  must  also  conduct  an  investigation." 

Under  Time  Between  Degrees: —  " — is  one  lunar  month  and 
the  Grand  Master  is  not  authorized  to  dispense  with  this  time." 

Under  Qualifications: —  "No  person  shall  be  eligible  to  an  of- 
fice in  Grand  Lodge  unless  he  be  a  permanent  member  thereof  (it 
is  assumed  this  means  a  past  master)  "except  the  office  of  Grand 
Chaplain,  which  office  may  be  filled  by  any  minister  who  is  af- 
filiated with  a  subordinate  lodge  of  the  state." 

At  the  end  of  the  marathon  session  the  Grand  Master  said: 
"In  my  opinion,  we  have  accomplished  more  in  this  Grand  Lodge 
today  than  has  been  accomplished  in  any  thirty  year  period 
heretofore."  Grand  Lodge  got  back  to  business  again  at  9  a.m.! 

One  of  the  many  dispensations  issued  by  the  Grand  Master  is 
unusual: —  "Vine  Grove  Lodge  No.  603  to  move  its  charter  to  the 
home  of  Entered  Apprentice  Bro.  C.  T.  Norman  and  confer  the 
Fellow  Craft  and  Mas.er  Mason  degrees  on  June  19,  1976  and  July 


22  GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA 

17,  1976  (respectively).  All  profanes  must  vacate  the  home  while 
the  Degrees  are  being  conferred." 

Sixteen  committee  reports  had  been  preprinted  and  made 
available.  These  were  not  read  in  Grand  Lodge  but  adopted  by  a 
single  resolution  and  ordered  printed  in  the  proceedings.  There  is  a 
special  committee  "of  Legislation  of  Kentucky"  who  make  "week- 
ly contacts  between  legislators,  committeemen  and  other  members 
of  the  Craft  who  (studied)  the  Legislative  Record  and  discussed  the 
effect  of  new  legislation.  We  are  pleased  to  report  that  Masonry 
had  no  bad  legislation  passed  during  this  60-day  session."  The 
Committee  on  Publicity  advocated  publicity  on  such  items  as 
"recognition  of  Masons  who  are  elected  or  appointed  to  public  of- 
fice of  trust"  and  "Lodge  participation  in  school  and  civic 
programs."  Political  participation  concerning  "Americanism"  is 
obviously  proper.  There  is  a  "Committee  on  Religious  Interest" 
chiefly  directed  to  extensive  services  and  prayer  meetings  at  the 
Masonic  Homes.  The  Masonic  Home  Journal  had  printed  a 
limited  number  of  reviews  of  proceedings  of  other  jurisdictions  in- 
cluding "Canada  of  Quebec."  It  would  be  interesting  to  know 
which  jurisdiction  was  reviewed. 

There  are  two  Masonic  Homes.  The  Masonic  Widows  and 
Orphans'  Home  and  Infirmary  had  229  ladies  and  19  children.  The 
annual  expenditure  was  $2.16  million  or  $8,700  per  resident 
provided  40%  by  endowments,  9%  by  rents,  32%  by  payments  by 
residents  and  19%  by  Grand  Lodge  assessment.  The  Old  Masons' 
Home  of  Kentucky  Inc.  had  81  residents,  including  1 1  couples.  The 
cost  was  $7,700  per  resident  which  "is  less  than  maintaining  a 
patient  in  a  nursing  home,  and  what  is  more  important,  most  of 
our  residents  are  happy  and  content." 

Five  hundred  and  twenty-eight  of  the  758  pages  in  the 
beautifully  bound  proceedings  comprise  a  complete  roster  by 
lodges  of  every  mason  in  the  jurisdiction.  All  officers,  past  masters 
and  50-year  members  in  each  lodge  are  specifically  listed.  The  item 
for  printing  in  Grand  Lodge  disbursements  exceeded  $23,000.

Our  M.W.  Bro.  Dr.  Eric  Nancekivell  was  present  at  the  an- 
nual communication.  He  was  honoured  by  receiving  the  Josiah 
Hayden  Drummond  Distinguished  Service  Award  and  was  the 
speaker  at  the  Grand  Lodge  banquet.  Our  new  Grand  Represen- 
tative, R.W.  Bro.  Robert  E.  Strout,  was  formally  presented  with 
his  commission. 


The  Grand  Master  referred  to  problems  of  ambiguities  and 
changes  in  Lodge  by-laws  and  recommended  the  appointment  of  a 
standing  committee  on  by-laws.  Official  Grand  Lodge  tours  were 
made  to  Munich,  headed  by  the  Grand  Master,  and  to  Martinique, 
headed  by  the  Deputy  Grand  Master.  Proceeds  from  these  tours 
were  used  to  help  finance  "The  Maine  Mason,"  a  Masonic 
magazine  of  substance  of  which  three  editions  were  issued  and  dis- 
tributed to  every  mason  of  the  jurisdiction.  Grand  Lodge  joined  the 
state  officers  of  the  Knights  of  Columbus  in  a  visit  to  the  Veterans' 
Administration  Hospital. 


Grand  Lodge  dues  were  increased  from  $2  to  $3  per  member. 


Grand  Lodge  has  a  "Blanket  Bond"  covering  Lodge 
Secretaries  and  Treasurers  for  all  lodge  funds  in  their  hands.  There 
is  also  a  "Blanket  liability  insurance,"  but  each  lodge  is  required  to 
procure  its  own  liability  insurance  for  its  temple  buildings  and 
premises. 


The  Masonic  Charitable  Foundation  has  capital  assets  of  $1.3 
million  and,  in  addition,  $235,000  is  in  twelve  special  funds.  Some 
$68,000  for  benevolence  plus  $35,000  for  special  purposes  were  dis- 
tributed. The  benevolent  and  special  accounts  indicate  approx- 
imately $12,000  administration  charges,  including  a  share  of 
Grand  Lodge  office  expense.  The  Charitable  Foundation  made  a 
loan  of  $25,000  to  Grand  Lodge,  which  was  repaid  later  in  the 
year. 

The  Committee  on  Fraternal  Correspondence  was  renamed  to 
that  on  Fraternal  Relations.  Requests  for  recognition  from  the 
Gran  Logia  de  Chile  and  from  the  Grande  Oriente  do  Brasil  were 
tabled  indefinitely.  Proceedings  of  23  jurisdictions  (some  for  two 
years)  were  reviewed  at  some  length.  Canada  is  not  included.

Our  M.W.  Bro.  E.  W.  Nancekivell  attended  the  annual  com- 
munication and  was  one  of  the  speakers. 

The  Grand  Master,  M.W.  Bro.  Chamberlain,  advocated  a 
"member  involvement  program"  in  lodges,  with  careful  meeting 
pre-planning,  district  travelling  gavels  etc.,  and  the  division  of  the 
rural  lodges  into  3  zones  to  which  the  D.G.M.,  S.G.W.,  and 
J.G.W.  (in  line  for  the  office  of  G.M.)  would  give  special  attention 
during  their  year  of  office.  His  list  of  visitations  includes  two  func- 
tions of  the  Knights  of  Columbus. 

One  recommendation  of  the  Administrative  Committee  was 
for  a  directive  "to  be  followed  by  constituent  lodges  in  utilizing 
local  newspapers  to  announce  future  meetings." 

Current  investments  are  utilizing  short-term  deposit  cer- 
tificates. Much  of  the  funds  of  Grand  Lodge  is  tied  up  in  low  in- 
terest bonds  whose  cash  value  is  significantly  below  par. 

The  Masonic  Foundation  of  Manitoba  is  working  with  the 
Grand  Lodge  of  North  Dakota  to  build  an  auditorium,  designed  in 
the  shape  of  a  square  and  compass,  at  the  International  Peace 
Gardens.  Less  than  a  quarter  of  the  requested  $300,000  capital 
from  Manitoba  had  been  raised  to  the  date  of  the  Foundation's 
report. 

Grand  Lodge  gives  support  to  DeMolay. 

The  Committee  on  Fraternal  Correspondence  submitted  a 
summarizing  3  page  report  under  the  headings  "membership", 
"concordant  bodies",  "benevolence",  "community  life"  and 
"education".

Some  5,000  people  attended  the  public  ceremonies,  which  in- 
cluded a  church  service,  of  the  special  communication  of  April  17 
at  Easton,  Md.  to  memorialize  Maryland's  first  Grand  Master, 
M.W.  Bro.  Dr.  John  Coats,  who  presided  at  the  founding  of  the 
Grand  Lodge  of  Maryland  April  17th,  1787,  and  to  hold  rededica- 
tion  ceremonies  for  Coats  Lodge  No.  102. 

Our  M.W.  Bro.  E.  W.  Nancekivell  attended  the  annual  com- 
munication and  spoke  briefly.  Special  recognition  was  given  to 
some  individual  blood  donors  —  one  brother  had  donated  nine  gal- 
lons. The  Grand  Master  removed  the  ban  on,  and  permitted 
membership  in,  the  York  Rite  Sovereign  College  of  North 
America. 

The  Masonic  Home,  with  82  guests  in  the  infirmary  and  95  in 
the  homes,  has  serious  problems.  The  annual  cost,  over  $1.3  mil- 
lion, is  not  being  met  by  revenue.  Part  of  its  land  is  being  sold  for 
commercial  use  subject  to  clearance  of  zoning  regulations,  on 
which  the  civic  authorities  have  already  reversed  themselves  three 
times  (this  sounds  familiar  to  us  in  Ontario).  The  Grand  Master 
comments:  "But,  the  monies  received  from  this  sale,  if  in  fact  it  is 
consummated,  cannot  be  used  for  our  Homes'  operation,  for  we 
must  face  the  hard,  cold  fact  that  we  are  struggling  to  maintain  and 
operate  an  aging  facility,  whose  design  leaves  much  to  be  desired 
and,  possibly,  in  the  not  too  distant  future,  will  become  disadvan- 
tageous to  operate  and  the  replacement  would  foreseeably  cost 
more  than  the  amount  received  in  the  proposed  sale."

26  GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA 

Of  the  special  communications,  3  were  in  the  Canal  Zone  dur- 
ing a  visit  of  the  Grand  Master,  8  concerned  with  building  dedica- 
tions and  /or  cornerstones,  1  to  constitute  a  new  lodge,  2  to  unite 
existing  lodges  and  14  for  special  lodge  anniversaries  ranging  from 
50  to  175  years.  Lodge  histories,  prepared  for  these  occasions,  are 
printed  in  full. 

The  Grand  Master  visited  Chile  for  the  100th  anniversary  of 
Huelen  Lodge  (precedence  1876  —  Massachusetts  lodges  are  not 
numbered)  and  also  attended  the  other  two  Chilean  lodges  under 
his  jurisdiction.  He  attended  a  special  communication  of  the  Grand 
Lodge  of  Chile  and  was  designated  an  honorary  member.  Ob- 
viously, the  presence  of  3  "foreign"  lodges  in  the  country  has  not 
led  to  conflict.  The  Grand  Master  was  invited  to  have  breakfast 
with  the  President  of  Chile  with  its  opportunity  to  discuss 
masonry. 

Benevolent  expenditures  were  SI. 5  million,  85%  of  which  were 
for  the  masonic  homes.  The  home  is  at  Charlton  and  there  was  also 
a  nursing  home,  the  Whittal  estate  "Juniper  Hall,"  at  Shrewsbury. 
The  latter  property  was  sold  during  the  year  for  $400,000.  The 
staggering  increases  in  costs  are  recorded  in  the  Grand  Master's 
address  at  the  quarterly  communication  of  March  10th. 

"In  fiscal  1955,  the  annual  per  capita  cost  at  the  home  was 
$1,445.  In  fiscal  1969,  it  was  $4,250  and  in  fiscal  1975,  it  was 
$8,745.  At  Juniper  Hall  in  fiscal  1955  the  per  capita  cost  was 
$4,035;  in  fiscal  1969  it  had  reached  $9,303.  But  in  1975,  it  has  es- 
calated to  $16,250." 

Improvements  both  in  financing  and  in  accommodation  are 
being  made  at  the  homes.  A  government  grant  of  $3.1  million  will 
be  available  to  build  101  low-income  housing  units  on  the  Charlton 
property  if  municipal  clearance  can  be  obtained.  To  balance  the 
Grand  Lodge  budget,  and  allow  for  the  home  expenses,  per  capita 
dues  were  raised  from  $5  to  $8. 

Our  M.W.  Bro.  E.  W.  Nancekivell  attended  the  Stated  Com- 
munication. M.W.  Bro.  Maxwell  was  installed  for  his  third  term  as 
Grand  Master  in  full  ceremonial  form,  his  traditional  response  to 
the  final  proclamation  being: — 

"May  the  Grand  Architect  of  the  Universe  pour  down  his 
blessings  upon  this  Society,  and  enable  me  to  discharge  the  great 
trust  reposed  in  me  to  the  honor  of  His  name  and  of  the  Royal  Art 
and  may  there  never  be  wanting  such  to  fill  the  Chair  who  shall

Our  M.W.  Bro.  E.  W.  Nancekivell  attended  the  annual  com- 
munication, and,  "the  Canadian  flag  was  presented  at  the  Altar 
and  displayed  there  throughout  the  sessions." 

The  Grand  Master,  M.W.  Bro.  Vatter,  was  deeply  concerned 
about  the  continuing  loss  of  membership  over  the  past  20  years. 
Michigan  was  the  4th  state  in  population  but  8th  in  Masonic 
membership.  He  said:  "We  must  step  back  and  take  a  long,  hard 
look  at  ourselves  and  ask  the  question  'What  is  wrong  with  us  that 
more  men  of  good  character  are  not  knocking  at  our  doors?'.  .  .  I 
would  caution  that  suspensions  for  non-payment  of  dues  are  only 
the  end  result  of  a  gradual  loss  of  interest  undoubtedly  caused  by  a 
lack  of  activity  within  the  Lodge." 

At  least  one  current  factor  in  the  loss  must  be  the  appalling 
degeneration  of  Detroit.  Two  resolutions  were  presented  to 
authorize  one  lodge  to  move  from  Detroit  to  the  suburbs:  the  sec- 
ond was  approved  but  the  first,  ruled  out  of  order,  told  the  truth 
of  the  root  cause:  "The  neighborhood  in  which  Pillar  Temple  is 
located  has  deteriorated  to  such  a  condition  that  it  is  unsafe  for  our 
members  to  walk  outside  the  Temple  to  and  from  the  parking  lot. 
There  has  also  been  destruction  to  cars  parked  and  injury  to 
Masons  and  their  families  in  the  neighborhood." 

Your  reviewer  had  the  Michigan  proceedings  in  his  briefcase 
during  an  hour's  train  ride  and  relieved  the  monotony  by  looking 
over  the  statistical  tables  for  the  523  lodges.  Some  reasons  for  the 
Grand  Master's  concern  came  into  view:  There  are  60  lodges  listed 
as  located  in  Detroit.  Of  these  only  5  showed  a  gain  in 
membership.  The  net  loss  for  the  60  lodges  was  1045.  i.e.  32%  of 
the  total  loss  in  11.5%  of  the  lodges  (granted  that  the  average 
membership  of  Detroit  lodges  was  well  above  the  average  for  the 
state).  Lodge  membership  ranged  from  2153  (1 1  lodges  over  1000) 
to  26  (2  lodges).  Eight  raised  20  or  more  candidates  (max.  28)  but 
116  (22%)  reported  no  raisings.  Fifteen  lodges  reported  30  or  more 


28  GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA 

deaths  (max.  54,  3  lodges  over  50).  Twenty-two  lodges  had  a 
decrease  of  30  or  more  members  (max.  96  resulting  from  a 
"housecleaning"  and  suspension  of  93).  Thirteen  lodges  had  less 
than  50  members  and  of  these  2  gained,  3  stayed  even  and  8  lost 
membership,  but  only  one  did  not  meet  regularly.  Forty-one  lodges 
held  40  or  more  meetings  (high  70  meetings). 

These  numbers  are  recorded  in  no  way  as  a  singling  out  of  a 
jurisdiction  with  which  our  Grand  Lodge  has  had  for  so  many 
years,  and  continues  to  have,  highly  valued  fraternal  relations.  The 
special  problems  in  Michigan  are  present  or  potential  in  other 
jurisdictions  and  it  is  only  by  facing  up  to  difficulties  that  these  can 
be  overcome.  We  would  also  do  well  to  "take  a  long  hard  look  at 
ourselves." 

The  finances  of  Grand  Lodge  are  monitored  through  1 1  funds 
totalling  over  $22  million,  the  majority  being  associated  with  the 
Masonic  Home.  A  motion  to  increase  per  capita  dues  to  Grand 
Lodge  from  $3  to  $5  was  defeated.  There  were  267  residents 
(average  cost  $7,300)  in  the  Masonic  Home  and  157  (average  cost 
$10,700)  in  the  Masonic  Hospital.  The  business  management  of 
Grand  Lodge  is  administered  by  a  Board  of  Directors  which  meets 
monthly  and  whose  minutes  are  printed  in  the  proceedings. 

The  Fraternal  Relations  Committee  recommended  a  careful 
review  of  the  status  of  the  Grand  Orient  of  Brazil.  Grand  Lodge 
policy  restricts  recognition  to  the  various  state  Grand  Lodges  in 
Brazil,  but  "with  more  than  620  lodges,"  coupled  with  "115  years 
of  history  (which)  does  indeed  indicate  stability,"  further  con- 
sideration is  warranted.  The  Grand  Lodge  of  Cuba  is  still  active. 
Relations  with  the  Grand  Orient  of  Italy  were  suspended  for  one 
year  due  to  reports  of  political  corruption  and  bribery,  alleged  to 
be  condoned  by  the  Grand  Master.

No  less  than  14  of  Manitoba's  Grand  East  attended  the  An- 
nual Communication.  Dispensations  included  10  permissions  for 
lodges  to  join  in  local  Community  Bicentennial  celebrations. 


FRATERNAL  CORRESPONDENCE  29 

A  resolution  to  permit  alcoholic  beverages  in  "approved 
buildings"  was  adopted,  but  another  to  permit  this  in  any  masonic 
premises,  when  leased  for  non-Masonic  functions,  was  defeated. 

The  Life  Membership  Study  Committee  reviewed  regulations 
of  several  jurisdictions.  They  preferred  the  use  of  actuarial  tables 
plus  a  Grand  Lodge  fee  (substantially  the  same  basis  as  ours).  A 
list  of  guiding  principles  was  submitted  and  approved  by  Grand 
Lodge  including:  life  membership  to  be  optional  to  the  lodge:  plan 
actuarially  sound;  life  membership  funds  segregated  from  other 
lodge  funds:  no  life  memberships  as  gifts  or  honoraria. 

The  Masonic  Home  had  170  guests  in  the  Main  Lodge  (an- 
nual cost  $5,087  each)  and  135  in  the  Care  Centre  (annual  cost 
$1 1,619  each).  In  spite  of  this  near  S2.5  million  bill,  the  year  ended 
with  a  surplus  "due  to  the  hard  work  of  our  Investment  Commit- 
tee, as  well  as  generous  gifts".  The  Directors  were,  properly,  con- 
cerned with  the  continually  rapidly  increasing  cost,  the  1976  total 
being  equivalent  to  $47.11  from  each  Mason  in  the  jurisdiction.  A 
special  committee,  after  professional  advice,  made  extensive 
recommendations  for  future  action. 

The  Masonic  Memorial  Hospital  Fund  contributed  over 
$160,000  for  Cancer  research  (including  a  full  Professorship)  at  the 
University  of  Minnesota.  Grand  Lodge  also  supports  a  "Hospital 
Representative"  at  the  Mayo  Clinic  in  Rochester,  Minn.  Some  700 
"Mason  Patients"  received  attention. 

Sixteen  Public  School  Scholarships  were  awarded  (total 
$9,000).  There  were  400  applicants,  first  reduced  to  one  boy  and 
one  girl  at  each  local  district  level  for  scholarship  selection  by  the 
Grand  Lodge  Committee. 

In  the  miscellania  department,  there  is  a  Grand  Lodge  crib- 
bage  tournament  with  district  and  regional  playoffs  before  the

The  Deputy  Grand  Master  R.W.  Bro.  W.  L.  Weeks,  pre- 
sided at  Grand  Lodge,  as  the  Grand  Master  M.W.  Bro.  Dale  was 
ill.  The  Grand  Master  must  have  worked  himself  into  exhaustion. 


30  GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA 

He  visited  every  Lodge  in  the  state  during  his  year  of  office  and 
conferred  the  M.M.  degree  on  61  brethren.  His  recorded  list 
includes  338  visitations  within  the  state,  including  one  record  day 
when  he  attended  separately  each  of  ten  lodges  in  seven  com- 
munities. (Did  they  start  at  sunrise?) 

The  Deputy  Grand  Master  is  an  appointee  of  the  Grand 
Master  and,  apparently,  is  not  a  line  officer.  The  G.M.  is  suc- 
ceeded by  the  Grand  Senior  Warden. 

Twenty-four  Past  Grand  Masters  attended  the  Annual  Ses- 
sion. Twenty-nine  Past  Grand  Masters  and  4  honourary  Past 
Grand  Masters  are  listed  as  living.  It  must  be  one  of  the  largest 
Grand  Easts  anywhere.  M.W.  Bro.  John  H.  Johnson  who  had 
been  G.M.  in  1921  died  in  1976  —  54  years  a  Past  Grand  Master! 
As  far  as  your  reviewer  is  aware,  this  has  only  been  exceeded  in 
recent  years  by  the  60-year  P. G.M.  record  of  M.W.  Bro.  O.  R. 
Ware  of  Kentucky,  noted  last  year. 

The  Grand  Secretary  reports  that  "only  23  lodges"  did  not 
work  any  degrees.  One  Lodge  conferred  100  degrees  and  another 
96.  Membership  in  individual  lodges  ranges  from  20  to  1285. 

Discipline  is  in  the  hands  of  the  individual  lodges.  Five 
brothers  were  expelled  by  their  lodges  (not  by  Grand  Lodge — the 
Committee  on  Complaints  and  Appeals  merely  "concurs  with  the 
decision")  three  of  these  for  being  in  a  business  involving  "making 
or  selling  whiskey,"  the  latter,  apparently  including  any  intox- 
icating liquor. 

There  were  12  girls  and  10  boys  (age  5-18)  in  the  Masonic 
Home  in  Meridian.  The  interest  from  the  Endowment  Fund  is 
almost  sufficient  to  cover  operating  costs  and  all  but  $13,000  of  a 
S60.000  per  capita  tax  for  the  home  from  subordinate  lodges  was 
returned  to  Grand  Lodge  general  account.  The  cost  per  child  was 
only  slightly  over  $4,000.

opened  in  full  form  in  each  of  the  three  degrees.  The  Grand 
Master,  M.W.  Bro.  Cook,  in  his  address,  stressed  extensive 
bicentennial  celebrations.  Five  corner  stones  were  laid,  two  of 
which  were  at  Northeast  Missouri  State  University,  where  every 
building  on  the  Kirkville  campus  has  a  Masonic  cornerstone. 

The  condition  of  individual  lodges  varies  from  excellent  to 
poor.  There  are  80  lodges  with  50  or  fewer  members  and  of  these 
44  lost  membership.  It  was  recommended  that  some  thought  be 
given  to  consolidations  for  lodges  which  continue  to  show 
decreases  and  do  not  hold  meetings  regularly.  One  lodge  was  dis- 
ciplined for  horseplay  and  hazing  "on  several  occasions."  The 
lodge  was  forbidden  by  the  Grand  Master  to  confer  the  second  sec- 
tion of  the  third  degree  unless  both  the  D.D.G.M.  and  D.D.  Gr. 
Lecturer  were  present  to  assure  proper  conduct.  The  matter  must 
have  been  serious  because  a  formal  statement  on  the  solemnity  and 
significance  of  this  section  was,  by  resolution  of  Grand  Lodge,  re- 
quired, in  the  future,  to  be  read  by  the  W.M.  in  all  lodges  im- 
mediately prior  to  the  conferral. 

The  Committee  on  Masonic  Education  spent  over  half  its 
budget  on  distribution  of  a  letter  from  the  Grand  Master  to  all 
Missouri  Master  Masons  "mailed  out  before  August  primary  elec- 
tion. This  eloquent  appeal  by  Grand  Master  Cook  was  surely  a 
decisive  element  in  the  defeat  of  the  proposed  Constitutional 
Amendment  which  would  have  allowed  tax  money  to  be  used  to 
pay  for  various  services  in  private  and  parochial  schools."  The 
Committee  felt  that  this  "was  Masonic  Education  in  a  most  impor- 
tant sense."  (Would  we  agree?) 

Grand  Lodge,  after  an  extended  debate  in  which  the  Grand 
East  was  divided,  approved  by  written  ballot  638  to  328  to  move 
the  Grand  Lodge  office  from  St.  Louis  to  Jefferson  City. 

There  are  322  adults  and  6  children  in  the  Masonic  Home.  Of 
these  210  were  in  the  Masonic  Home  Hospital,  whose  clinic  also 
had  over  6,300  outpatient  registrations.  "A  more  suitable 
location"  is  being  sought  for  the  children  and  a  second  "Masonic 
Home  of  Western  Missouri"  is  to  be  established  on  a  site  already 
purchased.  The  total  expenses  for  the  Home  for  the  year  exceeded 
$2.33  million,  less  than  10%  of  which  came  from  a  Grand  Lodge 
per  capita  tax  of  $2. 

The  proceedings  end  with  "A  Masonic  Review"  by  M.W. 
Bro.  Bruce  H.  Hunt  —  probably  the  best  Foreign  Cor- 
respondence review  available,  comprising  excerpts  from  various 


32  GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA 

proceedings  classified  under  some  sixty  subject  headings.  Our 
M.W.  Bro.  W.  L.  Wright  has  pride  of  place  in  the  introduction 
with  his  appeal  for  high  standards  of  admission.  Canada  is  one  of 
four  jurisdictions  whose  taxation  problems  are  noted. 

Here  are  a  few  other  examples  of  interest:  Under  various 
"youth"  headings,  DeMolay  and  Rainbow  are  active  in  Taiwan. 
Comments  on  admission  of  18-year-olds  to  the  Craft  depend  on 
whose  proceedings  you  are  reading,  some  enthusiastic,  some 
doubtful.  The  ultimate  comes  from  Idaho  where  a  young  man 
became  Master  of  his  Lodge,  High  Priest  of  his  Royal  Arch 
Chapter,  Associate  Patron  of  the  Eastern  Star,  and  an  officer  in 
both  Council  and  Commandery  before  he  was  21!  Such  a  tragic 
travesty  for  both  the  young  man  and  his  brethren  leaves  your 
reviewer  speechless.  In  Wyoming,  many  lodges  "ignored 
Leadership  Workshops",  so  the  G.M.  set  up  "Schools  of  Instruc- 
tion" and  ordered  all  lodge  officers,  elected  and  appointed,  to  at- 
tend or  give  written  reasons!  The  Grand  Master  of  Arkansas  had 
his  problems  (and  handled  them  with  dignity)  in  trying  to  diffuse 
sensational  journalism  re  the  Wilber  Mills  affair  and  the  necessary 
masonic  action  following  Mills'  conviction.  On  a  more  pleasant 
note,  the  outstanding  charity  of  Japanese  lodges,  and  efforts  to 
retrieve  masonic  jewels  from  antique  shops  in  Washington  are 
recorded.  North  Carolina  follows  the  same  procedure  we  use  when 
a  ring  cannot  be  removed  before  the  E.A.  degree.  The  procedure 
was  ratified  and  approved  by  the  Grand  Master  who  ruled  that 
"the  brother  in  question  is  an  E.A.  without  the  necessity  of 
healing."  It  is  not  easy  to  resist  many  more  items  from  this  review.

A  special  communication  was  held  to  dedicate  the  new  Ravalli 
County  Courthouse.  Fourth  degree  Knights  of  Columbus  served  as 
Honor  Guard,  and  Leo  Revelle,  District  Deputy  of  the  Knights  of 
Columbus  of  Montana,  delivered  the  dedicatory  address.  As  noted 
last  year,  relations  between  Masons  and  Knights  of  Columbus  are 
excellent. 

Another  special  communication  was  to  rededicate  the  original 
Temple  and  public  school  building  of  Bannack  Lodge  No.   16

restored  jointly  by  the  Montana  Fish  and  Game  Commission  and 
by  Grand  Lodge.  The  address  by  W.  Bro.  M.  M.  Jones,  Grand 
Historian,  referred  to  the  turbulent  early  history  of  the  Bannack 
area.  It  was  the  scene  of  the  first  recorded  Masonic  funeral  in 
Montana  Territory.  This  was  requested,  on  his  death-bed,  by  Bro. 
William  H.  Bell  in  1862.  Bro.  N.  P.  Langford,  a  member  of  the 
Fiske  expedition  (and  who  was,  in  1869,  to  become  the  fourth 
Grand  Master  of  Montana)  issued  a  call  for  Masons  to  assemble 
and,  to  everyone's  surprise,  76  Master  Masons  turned  up  from  the 
mining  camps  around.  "The  following  day  Bro.  Bell  was  laid  to 
rest  with  his  request  fulfilled." 

The  Grand  Masters  of  our  four  western  provinces  attended 
the  Annual  Communication.  M.W.  Bro.  Worden  referred  to  this  in 
his  "oration: — " 

"The  United  States  of  America  was  not  founded  on  peace  and 
harmony.  Canada  has  not  been  maintained  by  peace  and  harmony. 
Only  by  struggle,  sacrifice,  debate  and  compromise  have  these  two 
great  countries  achieved  their  position.  .  .  .  The  same  principles  are 
true  of  our  Fraternity.  We  have  prospered  or  failed  in  direct 
proportion  to  our  willingness  to  debate,  to  differ  and  to  com- 
promise." 

Grand  Lodge  per  capita  dues  were  increased  from  $7.50  to 
$11.50  including  $5  for  the  Masonic  Home  (previously  $2.25). 

Grand  Lodge  has  the  longest  "line"  of  officers  of  which  your 
reviewer  is  aware.  The  original  appointment  is  as  Grand  Tyler, 
with  the  prospect  of  becoming  Grand  Master  twelve  years  later  ( 1 3 
years  in  office). 

More  than  half  of  the  proceedings  is  a  complete  roster  of  all 
Masons  in  the  state.

The  Grand  Master,  M.W.  Bro.  Stines,  in  his  address,  referred 
to  laying  cornerstones  for  a  low-income  housing  facility  in  Central 
City,  for  a  public  library  in  Hooper,  and  for  a  community-owned

Medical  building  in  Ashland.  He  commissioned  our  R.W.  Bro.  K. 
N.  Nesbitt  as  the  Grand  Representative  of  Nebraska  at  our  Grand 
Lodge.  In  his  decisions,  he  reaffirmed  that  the  powers  of  the 
Worshipful  Master  are  absolute  in  his  lodge  and  subject  to  appeal 
only  to  the  Grand  Master  or  to  Grand  Lodge,  the  particular  case 
being  the  replacement  of  some  members  of  a  lodge  committee  by 
other  brethren,  the  master  being  dissatisfied  with  previous  lack  of 
action.  He  dealt  with  a  request  for  the  "stand"  of  Grand  Lodge  on 
whether  a  black  girl  could  petition  the  Order  of  the  Rainbow  for 
initiation.  His  reply  denied  Grand  Lodge  jurisdiction  over  the 
Rainbow  order  (except  for  their  use  of  masonic  temples)  and  then 
reaffirmed  "that  the  denial  of  membership  to  anyone  because  of 
race,  creed,  color  or  national  origin  is  contrary  to  the  principles 
and  precepts  of  Masonry." 

The  most  striking  event  in  this  jurisdiction  (remarkably,  not 
referred  to  in  the  Grand  Master's  address)  was  an  increase  in  the 
endowment  for  the  Nebraska  Masonic  Home  from  just  over  $5.1 
to  $9.5  million  as  a  result  of  a  bequest  of  Bro.  Glen  W.  Mclninch. 
The  fund  received  over  $4.25  million  from  the  estate  and  there  will 
be  an  additional  final  payment  when  the  estate  is  closed.  This,  sure- 
ly, must  be  a  record  high  for  a  bequest  to  a  single  masonic  institu- 
tion. To' meet  the  operating  deficit  in  the  home.  $250,000  was  req- 
uisitioned and  the  rest  invested  to  provide  an  approximately  equal 
amount  to  mature  annually  from  1979  to  2000.  It  was  stated  that 
even  with  the  revenue  from  $9.5  million  there  would  be  insufficient 
funds  to  fully  meet  projected  annual  operating  costs  for  the  home, 
which,  during  the  current  year,  were  $8,025  for  each  of  the  70  resi- 
dents. Grand  Lodge  also  operates  a  Home  for  Children  jointly  with 
the  Eastern  Star.

Grand  Lodge  met  in  the  First  United  Church  buildings  in 
Campbellton  and,  after  the  usual  ceremonies  and  receptions,  par- 
ticipated in  a  full  divine  service.  The  Grand  Chaplain,  in  his 
sermon,  told  a  story  of  St.  Francis  of  Assissi  who  invited  a  young 
novice  to  join  him  when  he  went  into  the  village  to  preach.  St. 
Francis  stopped  and  chatted  with  every  one  he  met  on  his  way, 
circled  the  village  square  doing  the  same  thing  and,  continuing. 


FRATERNAL  CORRESPONDENCE  35 

returned  to  the  monastery.  The  novice  protested:  "But  Father,  I 
thought  we  were  going  down  to  the  village  to  preach."  "We 
preached  as  we  walked,"  St.  Francis  replied.  The  Grand  Chaplain 
continued,  "Many  times  we  are  admonished  'Practise  what  you 
preach.'  I  would  like  to  turn  this  around  and  say.  'What  you  prac- 
tise, preaches."" 

The  Grand  Master,  M.W.  Bro.  Ross,  made  a  very  strong  plea 
to  each  Freemason  to  work  for  the  unity  of  Canada.  "The  ac- 
tivities of  the  Masonic  Lodge  of  today  are  lopsided.  They  take  too 
little  account  of  civic  duty."  Later  in  his  address  he  re-emphasized 
individual  involvement  outside  as  well  as  within  the  lodge.  One 
lodge  supports  an  ambulance,  another  gives  scholarships,  others 
support  local  service  projects,  "and  these  Lodges  are  healthy.  The 
successful  Lodges  are  those  which  project  a  public  image  that  is 
respected." 

The  Grand  Master  referred  at  length  to  a  bequest  of  $213,000 
from  the  estate  of  Bro.  W.  G.  Quinn.  A  significant  portion  had 
come  from  the  sale  of  the  donor's  home.  His  will  had  suggested  its 
use  as  a  home  for  elderly  Masons  and  their  wives  but  gave  Grand 
Lodge  the  option  of  sale.  The  funds  now  comprise  the  "W.  G. 
Quinn  Memorial  Trust  Fund." 

The  Grand  Master  had  visited  widely  outside,  as  well  as 
within,  New  Brunswick.  He  refers,  with  especial  courtesy,  to  his  at- 
tendance at  our  Grand  Lodge  in  1976. 

At  Grand  Lodge,  Bro.  G.  P.  Lanyon  who  "served  Carleton 
Union  Lodge  No.  8  as  organist  for  55  years,  as  well  as  organist  for 
a  number  of  other  Lodges  for  in  some  cases  as  many  as  50  years." 
was  constituted  a  member  of  Grand  Lodge  with  the  rank  of  R.W. 
Past  Junior  Grand  Warden. 

A  motion  increasing  the  per  capita  fee  to  Grand  Lodge  from 
$2  to  $3  was  defeated. 

The  permission,  approved  in  1976  for  one  year,  of  permitting 
"semi-public"  Lodge  installations,  if  conducted  by  the  Grand 
Master  or  a  past  Grand  Master  designated  by  him.  was  utilized  by 
6  lodges.  Apparently  this  was  successful  as  the  permission  was  ex- 
tended for  an  additional  year. 

Grand  Lodge  approved  a  report  to  "exchange  Fraternal 
Greetings"  with  the  Grand  Orient  of  Brazil  and  the  Grand  Lodge 
of  the  Dominican  Republic.  Is  this  the  equivalent  of  recognition?

The  Grand  Master  serves  for  two  years  but  the  Deputy  Grand 
Master  for  only  one.  Since  the  turn  of  the  century  the  retiring 
Grand  Master  is  only  the  third  to  move  directly  from  Deputy 
Grand  Master  to  Grand  Master.  The  incoming  Grand  Master  was

There  were  5  emergent  communications,  4  for  dedications  and 
cornerstones  and  1  for  an  exemplification  by  the  Grand  Lodge  of 
Rhode  Island  of  the  first  degree  with  all  speaking  parts  in  the 
Armenian  language. 

Our  M.W.  Bro.  E.  W.  Nancekivell  attended  the  annual  com- 
munication. The  Grand  Master  read  an  edict  forbidding  any  dis- 
cussion relating  to  a  civil  suit  between  Grand  Lodge  trustees  and 
M.W.  Bro.  Rutledge  which  was  sub  judice.  This  is  a  sensitive  and 
unhappy  matter,  including  a  civil  court  confirmation  during  the 
meetings  of  the  Grand  Master's  right  to  suspend  M.W.  Bro. 
Rutledge  from  Grand  Lodge. 

Grand  Lodge  has  been  operating  with  deficits  ($34,000 
budgeted  deficit  for  1977-8)  for  several  years.  The  per  capita 
assessment  has  finally  been  raised  from  $1.50  to  $2.50,  and  it  was 
ordered  that  official  budgets  be  made  available  at  the  same  time  as 
the  notice  convening  Grand  Lodge. 

The  Grand  Master  recommended  approval  of  a  "Widow's 
Pin"  and  this  was  accepted. 

There  are  37  standing  committees  of  Grand  Lodge.  The 
Bicentennial  Committee  was  very  active.  Two  Masonic  plays. 
"Prelude  to  Victory"  and  "The  Petition",  were  promoted  as  well 
as  a  bi-centennial  bulletin.  3  films  relating  to  the  Revolution  were 
purchased. 

The  Committee  on  Insurance  has  arranged  group  policies  for 
lodge  regalia  (total  coverage  $3  million)  and  is  investigating  group 
policies  for  lodge  premises  and  temples. 

The  Masonic  Home  has  186  guests  at  an  average  per  capita 
cost  of  over  $12,000.  Endowments  stand  at  $15.8  million.  Capital

has  been  depleted  to  meet  current  expenses.  The  Foundation  has 
changed  its  accounting  methods  to  an  accrual  basis  and  a  more 
realistic  appraisal.  The  Home  has  "an  excellent  working 
relationship"  with  Burlington  County  Hospital.  The  Acacia 
Lumberton  Manor  provides  164  senior  citizens  family  apartments 
and  these  are  highly  praised.

The  centennial  celebrations  included  a  gala  Saturday  evening 
at  the  Albuquerque  Convention  Centre  (at  which  Bro.  Lowell 
Thomas  was  the  principal  speaker),  an  ecumenical  worship  service 
on  Sunday,  with  Rabbi  Celnik  participating  and  the  sermon  by 
Archbishop  Sanchez,  and  the  regular  sessions  on  the  Monday  and 
Tuesday.  Twenty-nine  other  jurisdictions  were  officially 
represented. 

Fraternal  relations  were  re-established  with  the  Grand  Lodge 
of  Cosmos,  Chihuahua,  Mexico  and  their  representatives  warmly 
welcomed.  The  committee  on  Public  Schools  recommended  in- 
creased scholarships,  and  strong  active  participation,  both  as 
Masons  and  as  individuals,  in  school  management  and  curriculum 
content.  A  revolving  student  loan  fund  is  operative  (max.  $2000  at 

2'/2%). 

A  history  of  this  Grand  Lodge  has  been  prepared  and  was  in 
the  final  printing  stage.

nominations  for  next  year's  officers  prior  to  the  Quarterly  Com- 
munication, two  days  later,  when  elections  were  held.  R.W.  Bro. 
N.  W.  Warren  became  Grand  Master-elect,  with  his  installation 
set  for  July  28,  '76.  M.W.  Bro.  Blight  had  announced,  6  months 
earlier,  that  he  was  retiring.  He  appointed  a  special  committee  to 
prepare  for  the  "Grand  Installation"  because  "one  Grand  Lodge 
in  Australia  had  a  segment  of  its  ceremonies  shown  on  television. 
Another  Grand  Lodge  is  planning  extensive  filming  of  its  instal- 
lation." 

.  The  reports  of  the  Grand  Inspectors  of  Workings  attest  an  in- 
creasingly open  and  public-minded  attitude,  e.g.  in  the  150th  An- 
niversary Celebrations  of  the  Belmont  District  there  was  a  float 
"representing  Freemasonry  and  indicating  the  manner  in  which  it 
works  for  the  community  —  as  the  Hawkin's  Masonic  Village, 
Shortland  Masonic  Hospital  and  the  Newcastle  Masonic  Youth 
Welfare  Fund."  In  addition  many  acts  of  real  charity,  "Masonry 
in  action",  were  reported  such  as  rewiring  a  widow's  home; 
"erecting  in  7  days  a  comfortable  temporary  dwelling"  for  a  W.M. 
and  family  whose  home  had  been  destroyed  by  fire;  and  es- 
tablishing a  "House  without  steps"  for  the  physically  handicapped. 

One  decision  by  the  Grand  Master  indicates  increasing 
liberality: — "I  now  direct  that,  provided  the  law  relating  to  lot- 
teries is  fully  observed,  and  that  the  lodge  is  satisfied  that  the 
dignity  of  the  craft  is  not  impaired,  the  decision  as  to  whether  a  raf- 
fle may,  or  may  not,  be  held  is  left  to  the  discretion  of  the  lodge." 

Building  the  new  "Masonic  Centre"  at  Sydney  proceeded  on 
schedule.  The  Foundation  Stone  was  laid  on  May  15,  1976  "at  a 
most  spectacular  witness  and  public  demonstration  of  the  strength 
of  the  Order".  The  N.S.W.  mounted  police  and  police  band  led  a 
parade  of  over  6,000  Masons.  The  Salvation  Army  Sydney  Band 
played  the  odes  and  hymns  for  the  over  10,000  in  attendance.  A 
"fully  illustrated  report"  was  to  be  printed  in  "The  N.S.W. 
Freemason".  The  land  and  buildings  have  a  reported  value  close  to 
AS4  million. 

A  regional  organization  of  lodges  was  approved  after  exten- 
sive debate.  Cost  of  mailing  will  limit  free  circulation  of  quarter- 
ly reports  to  lodge  secretaries.  Others  will  have  to  pay  a  prescribed 
fee. 

The  William  Thompson  Masonic  School  and  Hostel  is,  in  line 
with  today's  social  policies,  proceeding  with  building  and  setting 
up  family  group  homes  and,  presumably,  beginning  to  phase  out 


FRATERNAL  CORRESPONDENCE  39 

the  old  central  establishment.  There  is  also  a  N.S.W.  Masonic 
Youth  Welfare  Fund,  to  assist  those  leaving  the  home  to  get  es- 
tablished in  trade  or  business.  The  Masonic  Hospital  seems  to  be 
substantially  financed  by  patients  fees  (over  A$l  million). 

Several  fraternal  reviews  appear  in  each  quarterly  report.  Two 
of  our  proceedings  are  included  with  specific  reference  to  our 
Masonic  Foundation  (1974)  and  to  M.W.  Bro.  Wright's  address 
(1975).

The  Grand  Master,  M.W.  Bro.  Markewich,  said  "I  am  a 
believer  in  work  by  and  through  a  committee."  No  less  than  41 
committees  are  listed  (21  standing,  20  special)  in  addition  to  a 
commission  on  appeals,  trustees  for  the  Masonic  Hall  and  Asylum 
fund,  foundations  for  Medical  Research  and  for  Masonic 
Brotherhood,  a  Masonic  War  Veterans  group  and  a  corporation 
for  the  Tappan  Washington  Memorial. 

The  Grand  Master's  decisions  are  written  by  the  Judge  Ad- 
vocate and  then  approved  by  the  G.M.  An  interesting  decision 
dealt  with  questions  from  three  different  lodges  as  to  whether  they 
could  initiate  respectively  a  Chinese  who  could  speak  but  not  read 
or  write  English,  a  Jew  whose  English  was  limited  and  who  wished 
to  use  Hebrew  for  his  instruction,  and  a  deaf  mute  whose  speech 
was  very  defective  but  whose  reading  and  writing  were  competent. 
In  each  case  there  was  the  assurance  that  instruction  was  available 
within  the  Lodge  in  Chinese,  in  Hebrew  and  by  a  teacher  of  the 
deaf;  the  ruling:  "When  a  brother  who  hails  from  a  foreign 
jurisdiction  presents  himself  for  examination  for  the  purpose  of 
visiting  one  of  our  Lodges  ...  it  should  be  anticipated  that  he  will 
respond  to  questions  in  the  language  used  in  his  mother  lodge.  .  .  . 
Thus  the  Lodges  involved  may  initiate  and  advance  the  candidates 
referred  to  if  they  would  be  able  to  demonstrate  proficiency  in  the 
work  of  the  degrees  by  use  of  a  foreign  language,  sign  language  or 
movement  of  the  lips."  Would  we  have  been  as  liberal?

Increasing  emphasis  is  being  placed  on  youth  and  on  younger 
members.  This  seems  to  be  bearing  fruit.  There  were  2,984  initia- 
tions and  the  average  age  of  members  is  decreasing,  but  as  long  as 
the  age  mix  yields  over  6,000  deaths  there  will  continue  to  be 
significant  annual  losses  in  membership. 

The  major  supplementary  activity  is  the  Masonic  Hall  and 
Asylum  at  Utica.  Fifty-one  pages  of  the  proceedings  are  devoted  to 
the  Superintendent's  report  and  related  tables.  Annual  expenses 
were  over  $6  million  ($11,500  for  each  of  the  541  guests,  average 
age  83).  Grand  Lodge  provided  $700,000  from  current  funds.  To 
meet  this  and  other  demands  the  per  capita  dues  to  Grand  Lodge 
were  increased  to  $3.50  per  member. 

The  Medal  for  Distinguished  Achievement  was  awarded  to 
Bro.  Dr.  Lowell  Thomas.  The  84  year  old  explorer  and  journalist 
was  the  speaker  at  the  Grand  Master's  Dinner  and  his 
reminiscences  make  delightful  reading.

Fifteen  special  communications  were  held,  3  for  laying  cor- 
nerstones of  and  1 1  for  dedicating  new  temples. 

To  conclude  the  bicentennial  celebrations,  the  Grand  Master 
completed  the  cycle  of  visits  to  each  of  the  communities  in  North 
Carolina  where  a  lodge  was  in  existence  before  or  during  the  year 
1787-8.  The  Bicentennial  Committee  presented  a  lengthy  report  of 
the  carefully  planned  and  completed  activities  over  the  two 
masonic  years  involved.  Special  reference  was  made  to  the  Grand 
Master's  visit  to  England  and  his  presentation  there  of  a  Joseph 
Montfort  Award  to  R.W.  Bro.  Stubbs  at  a  masonic  banquet  in 
London,  symbolizing  the  unity  between  the  United  Grand  Lodge 
of  England  and  North  Carolina. 

Our  M.W.  Bro.  E.  W.  Nancekivell  attended  the  annual  com- 
munication. Major  developments  at  the  masonic  home  were  an- 
nounced and  approved.  There  are  140  guests  (average  cost  $5,100) 
and  a  2-year  waiting  list.  An  increase  to  180  guests  was  approved 
and  the  start  of  an  expansion  of  family  units,  to  an  ultimate  addi-

tion  of  1 13  such  units,  under  a  scheme  whereby  the  applicant  would 
buy  the  unit,  be  assured  of  necessary  infirmary  care  for  life,  and  at 
death  the  unit  would  revert  to  the  home  for  resale  to  the  next  occu- 
pant. The  initial  construction  costs  were  adequately  covered  by  a 
donation.  The  superintendent  reported  the  present  home  as  the 
"outstanding  retirement  and  care  facility  in  the  State  .  .  .  Our 
buildings  are  modern,  in  good  repair  and  well  furnished."  The 
financial  statement  indicates  35%  of  revenue  from  the  guests,  38% 
from  masonic  sources,  20%  from  the  Eastern  Star  and  only  7% 
from  endowment  etc. 

There  was  also  an  important  decision  re  the  Oxford 
Orphanage  (107  boys,  87  girls)  to  re-establish  a  regular  school 
program  at  the  Orphanage.  For  some  years  the  youngsters  had 
been  going  to  five  different  public  schools  and  subject  to  "all  the 
transportation  hazards,  schedule  inconveniences  and  oftentimes 
degrading  and  demoralizing  experiences  in  the  public  school  bus- 
ses." The  increased  costs  will  be  underwritten  by  Grand  Lodge. 
There  are  very  good  vocational  study  opportunities  at  the 
Orphanage,  which  has  been  in  existence  for  104  years,  and,  based 
on  the  reports,  has  been  well  maintained  and  modernized  and  ex- 
cellently staffed. 

Grand  Lodge  per  capita  dues  were  increased  from  $3.50  to 
$4.50 

Action  was  deferred  on  recognizing  the  Grand  Orient  of 
Brazil.

A  delegation  from  Manitoba,  including  the  G.M.  and  4 
P.G.M.s,  attended  the  Annual  Communication.  Grand  Lodge  lost 
3  P.G.M.s  by  death  during  the  year. 

The  Grand  Master  recommended  reducing  the  number  of 
Masonic  districts  from  15  to  10,  adequate  financing  for  the  "North 
Dakota  Mason"  and  stricter  attention  to  the  finances  of  individual 
lodges.  The  Grand  Correspondent's  report  is  limited  to  10  jurisdic- 
tions. Grand  Lodge  continued  its  practice  of  making  all  dis- 
tinguished visitors  honorary  members  -  the  printed  list  now  runs  to

6  pages.  The  Grand  Historian's  address  was  devoted  to  the  Eastern 
Star. 

By-law  amendments  were  presented  to  increase  the  per  capita 
dues  from  $5.50  to  $7.00.  This  was  approved  to  become  effective 
with  the  1978  fiscal  year.

Our  M.W.  Bro.  E.  W.  Nancekivell  attended  the  annual  com- 
munication. The  Grand  Master,  M.W.  Bro.  Veinot,  reported: —  "I 
have  seen  more  emphasis  on  the  social  side  of  Masonry,  and  I  am 
very  happy  with  this  trend."  He  regretted  that  "our  DeMolay 
Chapters  in  the  Province  have  all  closed." 

The  Grand  Secretary,  R.W.  Bro.  H.  F.  Sipprell,  died  in 
December  1976.  He  had  served  for  18  years  in  that  office.  The  new 
Grand  Secretary  is  R.W.  Bro.  R.  A.  Coombes. 

Grand  Lodge,  after  requesting  such  action  in  1976,  approved 
increasing  per  capita  dues  from  $2.50  to  $3.50,  together  with  an  in- 
crease from  $2  to  $3  per  capita  for  the  Masonic  Home. 

The  Home,  with  44  guests  (average  cost  $5,400,  52%  covered 
by  "guest  assigned  pensions  and  contributions",  had  to  use  some 
funds  from  bequests  to  cover  operating  expenses.  The  additional 
dues  now  approved  should  assist  significantly.  Donations  received 
for  the  Home  included  amounts  from  Masonic  sources  in  Lahr, 
West  Germany,  where  Canadian  forces  have  their  H.Q.

same  as  all  indebtedness  had  been  liquidated."  Each  ceremony  in- 
cluded "an  oration."  In  addition  Grand  Lodge  "retired"  on  the 
evening  of  February  9  to  the  construction  site  of  the  new  Masonic 
Home  to  lay  its  cornerstone. 

The  "Oklahoma  Indian  Degree  Team"  gave,  by  dispensation, 
several  out-of-state  (as  far  as  Massachusetts)  as  well  as  in-state 
portrayals  of  the  third  degree. 

One  gets  the  impression  of  tremendous  activity  throughout 
the  jurisdiction.  The  Masonic  Charity  Foundation  of  Oklahoma 
(an  independent  corporation)  has  an  invested  capital  of  $9.3  mil- 
lion. There  is  a  Masonic  Home  for  the  Aged,  two  masonic 
hospitals,  a  Masonic  Children's  Home,  a  Masonic  Home  Laun- 
dry and  a  Masonic  Homes  Print  Shop.  At  the  year  end  there 
were  113  old  folk  (age  up  to  97,  the  oldest  resident,  105,  died  dur- 
ing the  year)  in  the  home,  69  under  the  auspices  of  lodges  and  44 
from  chapters  of  the  Eastern  Star.  The  gross  expenditures  for  the 
Homes  were  slightly  less  than  $6,000  per  guest.  There  is  a  long 
paragraph  on  miscellaneous  services  at  the  hospitals  which  in- 
cludes 601  letters  written  for  patients,  1,236  cigarette  lighters  filled 
and  the  list  ends  with  "anything  the  patient  might  need  that  you 
didn't  have." 

The  old  home  building  has  become  inadequate  by  today's 
health  and  safety  standards  and  Grand  Lodge  undertook  in  1975  to 
provide  a  new  home.  This  was  to  open  in  the  Fall  of  1977.  To  help 
pay  for  it  a  special  assessment  motion  was  passed  by  Grand  Lodge 
of  $1.50  per  year  from  "every  Master  Mason  on  our  rolls,  this  as- 
sessment to  be  discontinued  when  the  indebtedness  of  the  building 
is  completed."

a  Special  Communication  of  Grand  Lodge  with  158  brethren 
present.  The  E.A.  degree  (the  Grand  Master  being  personally  in 
charge)  and  F.C.  degree  were  given  in  the  afternoon  and,  after 
dinner,  the  M.M.  degree  in  the  evening.  The  last  occasion  for  this 
event  in  this  jurisdiction  had  been  in  1965.  The  report  to  Grand 
Lodge  of  the  Instructor  of  Ritualistic  Work  indicated  that  "Bro. 
Dixon  was  the  recipient  of  some  of  the  finest  degree  work  that  has 
ever  been  conferred  in  Philadelphia." 

As  would  be  expected,  Bicentennial  celebrations  were  very 
prominent.  The  proceedings  include  the  texts  of  special  addresses 
given,  at  each  quarterly  communication,  concerning  Masons  who 
were  leaders  in  revolutionary  days,  and  also  the  Grand  Master's 
numerous  addresses  on  related  subjects. 

Our  M.W.  Bro.  E.  W.  Nancekivell  attended  the  quarterly 
communication  of  December  1.  The  Grand  Master,  R.W.  Bro. 
McCain,  attended  our  annual  communication  in  July. 

In  spite  of  a  $13,000  cost  for  each  of  its  505  residents,  the 
Masonic  homes  showed  an  operating  surplus  of  over  $600,000. 
Just  half  the  cost  was  derived  from  "guest  service  revenue".  An 
accrual  basis  of  accounting  had  been  in  effect  for  a  year.  The 
"general  fund  balance"  is  close  to  $20  million.  Equity  and  trust 
fund  balances  transferred  from  Grand  Lodge  had  been  $41  million. 
Thirty  pages  of  the  proceedings  give  the  highly  detailed  report  of 
the  committee  (e.g.  the  orchard  produced  14,423  bushels  of  apples, 
the  garden  28  varieties  of  vegetables  including  28,656  lb.  tomatoes. 
4,417  lb.  cucumbers  etc.  etc.,  alongside  records  of  303  inpatients  in 
the  hospital,  38,502  prescriptions,  12,751  physiotherapy  treat- 
ments). Twenty-nine  more  pages  detail  the  financial  accounts.  It  is 
quite  an  operation!  Extensive  modern  additions  are  being  made  to 
the  home  facilities.  The  cornerstone  was  laid.  Occupancy  of  the 
new  quarters  is  scheduled  for  1977. 

There  are  18  children  in  the  Masonic  Children's  Homes. 
Public  schools  are  now  being  used  for  their  instruction.

FRATERNAL  CORRESPONDENCE  45 

Our  M.W.  Bro.  E.  W.  Nancekivell  attended  the  Annual  Com- 
munication. 

Masonry  in  Quebec  is  facing  two  major  problems,  that  of  ex- 
istence in  a  French-speaking  society  and  of  a  near-crisis  financial 
situation  from  taxes  and  expenses  of  the  Montreal  Masonic  Tem- 
ple, in  which  the  Grand  Lodge  offices  are  located. 

A  few  excellent  lodges,  based  on  the  French  protestant  com- 
munity, and  working  in  French,  have  been  operative  for  many 
years.  The  new  situation  flows  from  a  combination  of  decreasing 
English-speaking  population  in  all  but  major  centres,  and  the 
pleasant  necessity  of  recognizing  increased  Masonic  interest 
among  French-speaking  Canadians,  combined  with  reduction  of 
some  of  the  old  religious  antagonisms.  Translations  of  the  ritual 
into  French  are  essential  and  are  being  prepared. 

The  financial  situation  of  the  Montreal  Masonic  Temple  is 
highly  critical.  Your  reviewer  has  been  advised  that  the  1978  taxes 
are  approximately  $120,000.  More  than  half  the  capital  of  Grand 
Lodge  has  been  used  to  provide  "mortgages"  for  the  Temple,  to 
meet  past  needs  and  deficits.  A  "Save  the  Temple"  fund  is  active. 
Masonry  is  going  to  be  very  much  more  expensive  for  its  members 
in  Quebec  in  the  future.  Substantial  increases  in  all  Grand  Lodge 
fees  were  approved,  including  raising  the  per  capita  to  Grand 
Lodge  from  $2  to  $5. 

Albion  Lodge  No.  2,  Quebec,  celebrated  its  225th  anniver- 
sary. Reports  from  the  Quebec  and  Three  Rivers  District  refer  to 
increasing  French-speaking  and  genuinely  bilingual  membership. 
Other  non-Montreal  Districts  lack  new  members  badly. 

Your  reviewer,  having  been  a  member  of  lodges  in  this 
jurisdiction  for  many  years,  is  well  aware  that  Masonry  in  Quebec 
has  faced  serious  problems  in  the  past.  It  is  his  belief  that  there  re- 
mains the  vitality  to  survive  the  challenge  now  confronting  it.

At  the  special  communication  M.W.  Bro.  Stephenson,  having 
been  re-elected,  was  proclaimed  successively  in  the  east,  west  and 
south,  with  respective  anthems  "Lord  God  our  Master  bless",  "In 
wishes  true  and  hearty",  and  "Great  Architect  to  Thee  we  raise" 
by  the  Masonic  choir.  Other  Grand  Lodge  officers  were  then  in- 
vested. 

In  October,  the  Grand  Master  paid  an  18  day  Masonic  visit  to 
Papua  New  Guinea,  attending  6  of  his  own  lodges  and  one  under 
the  English  Constitution,  where  he  was  officially  commissioned  to 
represent  M.W.  Bro.  H.  R.  H.  the  Duke  of  Kent.  The  distance  and 
difficulty  of  travel  to  these  lodges  can  be  "staggering".  Two 
brethren  are  "frequently  faced  with  an  all  day  boat  or  outrigger 
canoe  trip",  another  "travels  over  a  mountainous,  winding  dirt 
road  with  numerous  hair-pin  bends".  The  W.M.  of  Kavieng  No. 
487  travels  170  miles  to  get  to  his  lodge.  The  G.M.  reports  there 
are  "only  3  Nationals"  who  are  Freemasons  in  Papua.  "The  local 
Brethren  ---  will  be  generally  happy  and  pleased  to  welcome  the 
National  into  our  ranks,  but  it  has  problems  we  must  try  to  sur- 
mount. ---  I  am  fully  convinced  the  future  of  the  Craft  in  these 
areas  will  depend  on  encouraging  ---  the  National  to  join  our 
fraternity." 

One  interesting  regulation  in  Queensland  appears  to  be  that 
lodges  require  "permission  to  ballot"  from  the  Board  of  General 
Purposes.  The  Board  reported  permission  granted  for  720  ballots 
for  initiation,  388  for  affiliation  and  6  refusals. 

A  major  event  was  the  completion,  and  dedication  of  Masonic 
quarters  in  the  Stones  Corners  Temple.  Almost  unbelievably,  the 
cost,  A$674,420,  was  well  below  the  approved  estimate  of 
A$800.000. 

The  Masonic  Homes  are  the  major  charity.  There  were  363 
residents  in  March.  Medals  are  awarded  to  lodges  and  brethren 
who  make  specified  donations.  There  is  real  demand  for  space,  e.g. 
the  last  quarterly  report  indicates  "24  on  the  waiting  list  for  urgent 
admission  and  174  approved  for  admission  when  needed." 

The  Queensland  Legislature  passed  "An  Act  to  amend  The 
United  Grand  Lodge  of  Antient  Free  and  Accepted  Masons  of 
Queensland  Trustees  Act  of  1942"  to  update  the  legal  basis  for 
managing  the  Home  endowment  and  other  trust  funds  of  Grand 
Lodge.  Required  appropriate  changes  were  made  in  the  constitu- 
tion.

The  semi-annual  communication  was  the  last,  after  a  78  year 
stay,  in  the  old  Freemasons  Hall  which  had  become  a  Scottish  Rite 
Cathedral  and  was  now  being  replaced  by  a  new  Cathedral.  The 
cornerstone  of  this  had  been  laid  by  Grand  Lodge  October  31,  1976 
with  111.  Bro.  George  Newbury  33°  as  speaker.  The  Grand 
Historian  gave  a  "Farewell  address  to  127  Dorrance  Street"  trac- 
ing the  history  of  Masonic  quarters  in  Providence  since  the 
founding  of  the  Grand  Lodge  in  1791,  a  story  which  included  fire 
and  hurricanes  as  well  as  major  Masonic  events.  The  communica- 
tion closed  with  the  joining  of  hands  and  the  singing  of  Auld  Lang 
Syne. 

Masonic  quarters  in  the  new  Scottish  Rite  Cathedral  at 
Cranston  were  dedicated  on  January  1 1,  1977  and  the  annual  com- 
munication held  there  May  16.  Our  M.W.  Bro.  B.  B.  Foster  at- 
tended. The  Grand  Master  had  emphasized  Masonic  education 
very  strongly  throughout  his  term.  The  "Rhode  Island 
Freemason"  has  been  established  (cost  S8.000  for  the  year)  and  a 
voluntary  $2.00  addition  when  paying  lodge  dues  suggested  to 
finance  it.  The  per  capita  tax  remains  at  $4.00.  Use  of  slides  with 
lodge  lectures  "under  the  strict  supervision  of  the  Grand  Lecturer" 
was  discussed  and  is  on  the  agenda  for  possible  action  by  Grand 
Lodge  in  1978.  The  Education  Committee  met  12  times  during  the 
year.  178  brethren  attended  one  workshop!  Substantial  progress 
was  made  with  the  Grand  Lodge  Library  and  museum. 

New  dies  were  cut  for  Masonic  medals  to  reduce  cost,  the 
G.M.  reporting  "with  our  jewelry  background  we  found  that  our 
medals  were  far  over-priced".  The  accounts  include  "Masonic 
Home"  funds,  but  there  appears  to  be  no  Masonic  Home.  $20,000 
from  the  fund  was  paid  to  "beneficiaries". 


48  GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA 

The  Committee  on  Foreign  Correspondence  recommended  in- 
itiating steps  to  recognize  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Venezuela  and  the 
Grand  Orient  of  Brazil.  Caution  was  given  to  brethren  proposing 
visiting  lodges  in  Italy.

Our  M.W.  Bro.  E.  W.  Nancekivell  attended  the  annual  com- 
munication and,  by  resolution  of  Grand  Lodge,  was  given  the  rank 
of  Honorary  Past  Grand  Master. 

The  Grand  Master,  M.W.  Bro.  Gwinn,  referred  to  the 
problems  of  rural  lodges: —  "The  decline  in  membership  in  the 
past  few  years  relates  to  population  shifts  from  rural  to  urban 
areas.  This  presents  our  greatest  problem.  How  can  we  adjust  to 
this  population  shift?  We  are  going  to  lose  some  rural  lodges.  I 
think  the  centres  of  greater  population  should  make  a  determined 
effort  to  increase  their  membership  by  making  the  general  public 
more  aware  of  the  activities  of  Masonic  Lodges  and  that  masons 
from  rural  areas  taking  up  residence  in  the  larger  centres  should  be 
made  to  feel  welcome  by  the  lodges." 

Several  constitutional  amendments  were  considered.  Those 
approved  included  province-wide  concurrent  jurisdiction  for  lodges 
and  increased  per  capita  dues  from  $2.50  to  $4.00.  A  motion  to 
reduce  the  age  for  initiation  from  21  to  18  was  defeated. 

The  Committee  on  the  Condition  of  Masonry  reports  125 
lodges  in  excellent  or  good  condition  and  50  in  fair  or  poor  condi- 
tion, but  are  less  optimistic  for  the  future.  A  quick  scan  of  the 
statistical  tables  indicates  20  lodges  with  30  or  fewer  members  and 
one  lodge  with  only  18.  This  lodge  held  5  meetings  with  an  average 
attendance  of  5  before  amalgamation  with  a  lodge  in  an  adjoining, 
but  still  small,  municipality. 

There  were  42  benevolent  and  benefit  grants  totalling  over 
$43,000.  Individual  amounts  ranged  from  $3,600  to  $100,  so  ob- 
viously each  received  careful  consideration.  The  Freemasonry  and 
Youth  Endowment  Fund  gave  two  university  bursaries,  some  essay 
prizes  and  ran  a  camp,  operated  by  the  Y.M.C.A.,  the  highlight 
being  a  3-day  canoe  trip  to  Prince  Albert  National  Park.

The  Committee  on  fraternal  Correspondence  and  Relations 
cleared  exchange  of  representatives  with  Guatemala,  deferred  ac- 
tion indefinitely  on  the  Grand  Orient  of  Brazil,  and  collated 
reports,  from  grand  representatives  on  the  proceedings  of  the 
Grand  Lodges  by  which  they  were  accredited,  into  a  2-page  sum-

The  statistical  table  on  membership  contains  a  remembrance 
of  things  past.  The  years  1942-46  numbers  for  "subscribing 
members"  have  the  notation  "Pt.  Darwin  Lodge  41  (125  members) 
in  enforced  recess  until  8th  November  1946  due  to  enemy  action." 

Major  additions  were  begun  to  the  Nursing  Home,  and  new 
Hostel  and  Day  Hospital  facilities  in  the  Masonic  Memorial  Vil- 
lage (operated  by  a  corporate  body).  The  government  Department 
of  Social  Security  had  approved  a  subsidy  of  AS1.7  million 
payable  in  July  1978.  Meanwhile  extra  per  capita  dues  of  A$4  had 
raised  A$80,000  to  get  formal  planning  underway  and  over 
A$  11 8,000  was  contributed  by  various  benefactors  to  the  related 
funds.  The  Grand  Master  said:  "On  the  completion  of  this 
programme  the  Village  will  rank  with  the  best  in  the  country  and 
will  stand  as  a  monument  to  Freemasonry  in  this  Jurisdiction." 


FRATERNAL  CORRESPONDENCE  51 

Remarkably,  the  Village  showed,  for  the  year,  a  nominal  excess 
revenue  over  expenditures.  The  revenues  included  AS346.000  in 
government  subsidies.  The  Balance  Sheet  records  assets  of  AS3.25 
million  of  which  80%  is  fixed.  The  A$4  special  per  capita  for  the 
village  was  reduced  to  A$2  but  the  regular  per  capita  for  Grand 
Lodge  was  increased  from  A$8  to  A$10. 

The  Grand  Master  also  reported:  "I  am  not  sure  whether  it  is 
generally  known  that  the  Rotary  Clubs  of  Darwin  (proposed)  that 
they  be  granted  permission  to  build  units  for  the  aged  on  the  same 
property  as  our  own  units  —  the  whole  cost  to  be  their  respon- 
sibility, and  on  completion  .  .  .  hand  them  over  to  us  to  be  ad- 
ministered with  our  own  establishment."  The  completion,  opening, 
tenanting  and  handing  over  was  finalized  in  October,  1976. 

A  "Door  Knock"  appeal  to  aid  the  Blind  Welfare  Association 
raised  A$  154,000.  "Our  participation  in  the  appeal  has  gone  a  long 
way  to  refuting  the  criticism  .  .  .  that  our  charitable  work  is  too  in- 
sular, being  confined  only  to  masonic  charities." 

The  Grand  Master  suggested  a  committee  to  reactivate  in- 
terest in  youth  organizations  and  proposed  special  funds  for  the 
1984  centenary  of  the  Grand  Lodge  and  for  a  Temple  Fund  to  as- 
sist constituent  lodges  with  repair  and  maintenance  of  their 
premises.

The  Grand  Master,  M.W.  Bro.  Wylie,  died  on  June  21,  the 
Deputy  Grand  Master  becoming  Acting  Grand  Master  for  the 
remainder  of  term.  A  special  communication  of  Grand  Lodge  was 
held  June  22nd  to  attend  the  funeral  and  conduct  a  Masonic  Com- 
mittal service. 

There  were  9  other  special  communications.  2  associated  with 
the  bi-centennial,  6  dedications  and  cornerstones  and  1  for  the 
"foundation  stone"  of  a  new  Scottish  Rite  Temple.  The  Acting 
Grand  Master  attended  our  annual  communication  in  Toronto  in 


52  GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA 

1976.  He  also  dedicated  a  bicentennial  monument  in  the  Grand 
Lodge  Building  in  the  state  capitol,  Columbia,  and  was  invited  to 
address  the  legislative  assembly. 

Grand  Lodge  rejected  a  3-year  trial  of  statewide  concurrent 
jurisdiction  and  held  over  till  1977  a  proposed  increase  in  Grand 
Lodge  per  capita  from  $1.50  to  $2.00. 

There  were  20  Masonic  trials.  One  seems  remarkable  in  that 
the  charge  was  not  attending  lodge  following  receipt  of  a  normal 
lodge  summons.  The  trial  commission  properly  held  that  no 
Masonic  offence  had  been  committed  and  the  lodge  appealed!  The 
committee"  on  grievances  and  appeals  fully  concurred  with  the  trial 
commission  and  their  report  was  in  terms  to  settle  the  issue  beyond 
question.  Meanwhile,  the  accused  brother  (legitimately,  in  your 
reviewer's  opinion)  decided  he  wasn't  wanted  and  was  eventually 
suspended  N.P.D. 

The  Committee  on  Fraternal  Relations  recommended  no  ac- 
tion on  a  request  to  recognize  the  Grand  Orient  of  Brazil.  The 
Fraternal  Correspondent  presented  "A  review  of  symbolic 
Freemasonry  in  certain  representative  jurisdictions"  confined  to  18 
of  the  United  States.

The  Grand  Master,  M.W.  Bro.  Galligher,  who  made  "A  Year 
of  Masonic  Renewal"  his  theme,  is  reported  "to  leave  a  little  more 
wood  in  the  woodbox  than  when  he  first  started  to  take  from  it". 
That  fairly  well  sums  up  his  administration  for  the  year. 

The  Grand  Master  granted,  by  telephone,  an  "irregular"  re- 
quest for  reading  a  petition  at  a  special  lodge  communication.  A 
member  of  the  armed  forces  and  severe  time  pressures  were  in- 
volved. The  G.M.  admits  "more  time  and  consideration  might 
have  resulted  in  the  dispensation  being  rejected".  He  suggested 
material  for  use  at  "Enquirer's  Nights"  in  lodges. 

The  report  of  the  Committee  on  Fraternal  Correspondence 
comprises  only  4  letters  from  Grand  Representatives  reporting  to 
the  "Grand  Correspondent".  The  list  of  Grand   Lodges  inter-

changing  representatives  totals  134,  including  16  in  Brazil  and  7  in 
Mexico. 

Several  constitutional  amendments  were  received  for  action  in 
1978  including  reduction  of  age  for  initiation  from  21  to  18:  remov- 
ing disqualification  of  anyone  who  was  "a  proprietor  or  vendor  at 
a  place  where  malt  or  spirituous  liquors  are  sold  as  a  beverage": 
and  for  increasing  Grand  Lodge  per  capita  dues  to  $5  from  S4.

Recommendations  submitted  included  providing  information 
boards  at  airports,  and  "that  the  proposer  and  seconder  of  a  can- 
didate should  attend  Lodge  regularly  during  the  twelve  months 
after  the  candidate  is  initiated". 


The  principal  business  was  the  Grand  Installation.  The  Grand 
Masters  of  all,  and  the  Deputy  Grand  Masters  of  all  but  one.  of  the 
other  Australian  Grand  Lodges  were  present.  There  were  69 
brethren  in  these  visiting  delegations  -  a  remarkable  demonstration 
of  interest  and  solidarity. 

In  his  Final  address  M.W.  Bro.  Abra  said: — 

"I  believe  with  Ruskin  that  we  are  not  sent  into  this  world  to 
do  anything  into  which  we  cannot  put  our  hearts.  We  have  certain 
work  to  do  for  our  bread,  and  this  is  to  be  done  strenuously:  other 
work  to  be  done  for  our  delight,  and  this  is  to  be  done  heartily : 
neither  to  be  done  by  halves  or  shifts,  but  with  a  will." 

The  new  Grand  Master,  M.W.  Bro.  Harnett,  was  installed 
with  traditional  proclamations  and  fanfares.

Referring  to  the  Bicentennial,  the  Grand  Master,  M.W.  Bro. 
Buck,  said  "Our  celebration  was  low-key.  There  were  no  spec- 
tacular parades  or  noisy  fireworks.  We  simply  fostered  a  quiet 
determination  to  uphold  our  system  of  government  with  honour 
and  to  resist  those  forces  which  have  sought  to  undermine  it  of  late. 
We  have  no  fear  of  subversive  forces  if  our  brethren  will  remain 
awake  and  vigilant.  Our  heritage  of  freedom  was  not  attained  easi- 
ly, and  that  freedom  was  not  really  free,  but  must  be  maintained  by 
constant  vigilance." 

The  Grand  Master  made  a  number  of  recommendations,  in- 
cluding initiating  a  Lodge  of  Research  and  changing  the  title  of 
"District  Chairmen"  to  that  of  "District  Deputy  Grand  Masters." 
Boih  of  these  were  rejected  by  the  Commiuee  on  Jurisprudence. 
Even  the  Appeals  and  Grievances  Committees  approval  of  the 
G.M.'s  action  re  one  U.M.C.  charge  was  defeated  by  Grand 
Lodge.  There  was  obviously  much  so-called  "democracy  in  action" 
—  a  lot  of  it  concerned  with  saying  "no"  to  proposals  such  as  per- 
mitting dual  membership  even  outside  of  Tennessee  and  for  in- 
creasing Grand  Lodge  dues  from  $2.25  to  $2.75  per  year. 

No  less  than  29  trial  commissions  reported.  The  names  of  the 
accused  Brethren  are  listed  even  when  the  verdict  was  "not  guilty." 
Two  of  the  latter  cases  were  appealed  to  Grand  Lodge! 

The  Advancement  of  Freemasonry  and  Masonic  Education 
Committee  is  very  active.  The  Director  made  209  visits  for  the 
promotion  of  masonic  education.  Officer  training  workshops  were 
held  in  all  30  masonic  districts.  Two  hundred  and  twenty-four 
lodges,  4  out-of-state  lodges  and  1 , 1 65  brethren  attended.  The  "Dr. 
Joseph  C.  Mobley  Award"  is  presented  to  the  Lodge  with  "the 
most  comprehensive  program  of  masonic  education." 

The  Fraternal  Correspondence  Report  reviews  some  30 
proceedings.  Canada  is  not  included.

"Special  Representations"  of  Grand  Lodge  included  9  dedica- 
tions. 14  cornerstones  (9  non-masonic  buildings)  and  6  to  con- 
stitute new  lodges.  The  Grand  Master  presided  at  7  of  these  occa- 
sions. Texas  follows  the  Scottish  tradition  and  Past  Grand  Masters 
have  Right  Worshipful  rank,  only  the  Grand  Master  is  Most 
Worshipful. 

The  Grand  Orator's  (R.W.  Bro.  C.  A.  Barrow's)  address  was 
much  shorter  (and  much  better)  than  others  your  reviewer  has 
looked  at.  Here  are  some  quotes: 

"One  lesson  that  stands  out  sharp  and  dear  throughout 
the  pages  of  history  is  that  freedom  must  be  continual!) 
earned.  ---  Unlike  the  Pyramids,  the  monument*  ul  the  spirit 
will  not  stand  untended.  ---  The  fact  that  our  forefathers 
pledged  their  lives,  their  fortunes  and  their  sacred  honor,  and 
most  lost  all  but  the  latter,  ---  does  not  guarantee  survival  of 
these  principles  of  freedom  if  we  cease  paying  our  tithes  of 
devotion. 

We  have  opened  up  our  system  in  our  zeal  for  a  free 
society  and  for  freedom  -  but  we  have  opened  it  up  to  the  point 
where  an  issue-oriented  minority  can  short-circuit 
representative  government  and  delay,  obstruct,  or  paralyze 
the  decision-making  process.  In  our  thrust  toward  an  open 
system,  we  must  not  lose  the  capacity  to  act.  ---  In  our  desire 
to  create  a  society  wherein  no  one  can  abuse  authority,  we 
must  not  create  one  wherein  no  one  can  exercise  authority. 


Our  Constitution  declares  and  promises  that  all  men  are 
created  equal.  True,  all  individuals  are  equal  in  intrinsic  worth 
and  are  entitled  to  equal  access  to  rights  and  privileges.  But 
equal  worth  does  not  translate  to  equal  ability  and  equal 
access  does  not  equate  to  equal  achievement.  Unless  we 
cultivate  excellence  and  reward  performance,  there  will  soon 
be  no  opportunity." 


56  GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA 

The  Grand  Master  emphasized  the  bicentennial  in  his 
messages  in  the  6  issues  of  the  Texas  Freemason  (reduced  from  12 
issues  because  of  cost),  combined  with  appeals  for  a  return  to 
moral  leadership.  He  issued  a  special  Proclamation  for  "Public 
Schools  Week",  strictly  limiting  use  of  Lodge  rooms  for  the  week 
to  "called  meetings  for  programs  in  observance  of  Public  Schools 
Week",  the  sole  permitted  exceptions  being  stated  meetings  and 
funerals. 

Your  reviewer  is  impressed  with  the  longevity  of  Texas 
masons.  The  Grand  Master  approved  1,572  50-year  service 
awards,  as  many  as  1 1  in  a  single  Lodge.  Surely,  this  must  involve 
a  major  catch-up.  There  was  a  workshop  on  Masonic  funerals. 

Some  $2  million  was  raised  as  a  development  fund  for  the 
Masonic  Home  and  School  during  the  past  3  years.  The 
endowment  stands  at  $8.7  million,  total  assets  over  $13  million. 
Expenditures  for  the  year's  operations  were  $1.3  million.  The 
School  has  7  "cottages",  a  registration  of  84  children  and  is  fully 
accredited  by  the  Texas  Education  Agency  from  kindergarten 
through  grade  12.  The  School  band  played  at  Grand  Lodge. 
Expenditure  of  $335,000  is  reported  donated  to  the  Home  for  Aged 
Masons  "for  the  care  of  our  widows". 

The  Fraternal  Reviews  are  by  R.W.  Bro.  Brannon  P.G.M. 
65  jurisdictions  were  reviewed.  In  his  foreword  he  writes  "Perhaps 
if  we  would  become  true  Masons,  our  neighbors  and  friends,  who 
watch  us  each  day,  might  be  seeking  what  Masonry  has  imparted 
to  our  hearts.  We  believe  that  this  trend  of  losses  will  turn  to  gains 
when  we  become  members  and  not  card-carriers."  Canada  1975 
receives  a  generous  review  with  quotes  from  M.W.  Bro.  Wright's 
address  at  the  banquet.

In  spite  of  continually  declining  membership,  which  shows  no

patients  "treated,"  and  4,390  operations).  No  less  than  50 
"Freemasons  scholarships"  were  awarded  (there  were  222 
applications)  in  addition  to  7  other  named  scholarships,  some 
tenable  for  4  years.  The  Board  of  General  Purposes  also  approved 
numerous  grants  and  interest-free  loans  re  specific  masonic  temple 
construction  or  improvement  projects. 

At  the  quarterly  communication  of  March  the  retiring  Grand 
Master,  M.W.  Bro.  Risson,  announced  a  very  long  list  of 
"promotions",  that  is,  appointment  to  past  rank  in  8  different 
levels,  the  highest  being  that  of  4  past  Grand  Wardens  to  become 
past  Deputy  Grand  Masters.  The  list  is  obviously  one  of  upward 
flow  with  continuing  service. 

Following  his  installation  and  before  the  installation  and 
investiture  of  other  Grand  Lodge  officers,  the  new  Grand  Master, 
M.W.  Bro.  James,  addressed  Grand  Lodge.  He  quoted  from  Rabbi 
Sanger: 

"Modernism  is  a  kind  of  idolatry,  urging  constantly  more 
rights,  bigger  claims,  more  services  and  more  protection 
against  adversity.  The  time  has  come  to  restrain  private 
appetites  and  renew  a  public  ethic  —  call  it  a  "work  ethic," 
call  it  "honesty,"  call  it  what  you  will,  but  we  sorely  need 
it." 

At  the  quarterly  communication  in  June,  amendments  were 
passed  to  the  Constitution  specifying  age  limits  beyond  which 
brethren  could  not  be  appointed  to  the  Board  of  General  Purposes 
or  to  certain  offices,  the  object  being  to  assure  turnover,  and  ad- 
vancement of  younger  members. 

The  quarterly  communication  in  September  includes  presen- 
tation of  the  report  from  the  109th  annual  general  meeting  of  the 
Royal  Freemasons'  Homes  of  Victoria.  There  are  620  residents, 
divided  286  in  the  "Homes,"  201  in  "Centennial  House."  and  133 
in  "independent  units."  There  were  significant  "operating 
deficits,"  being  expenditure  "not  covered  by  Government  deficit 
financing,"   which  was   substantially  covered  by  Grand   Lodge

grants,  donations  and  bequests.  A  motion  to  increase  Grand  Lodge 
dues  from  A$2  to  AS2.50  per  half-year  was  defeated. 

The  quarterly  communication  in  December  saw  the  re- 
nomination  of  the  Grand  Master  for  a  second  term.  In  his  address 
he  commended  work  of  committees  on  Masonic  Temples,  on  con- 
stitutional changes  and  on  public  relations.  He  advocated  "happy, 
friendly,  sociable  gatherings"  after  lodge  and  cautioned  against 
"orators,  who  usually  have  nothing  to  say  but  cannot  help  saying 
it." 

One  item  in  the  statistics  surprised  your  reviewer  —  a  listing 
among  "exclusions"  (i.e.  suspensions)  of  a  few  brethren  who  "have 
been  excluded  by  the  United  Grand  Lodge  of  Mark  Master 
Masons  of  Victoria  for  non-payment  of  dues  and  are  automatically 
excluded  from  their  respective  Craft  Lodges  under  the  provisions 
of  Rule  184A  of  the  Book  of  Constitutions." 

Twenty-two  Grand  Lodges  were  reviewed  in  the  Report  on 
Correspondence,  some  for  two  years.  Canada  is  not  included.

The  above  statistics  are  from  a  summarizing  table.  A  com- 
puter is  in  process  of  "normalization"  in  the  Grand  Secretary's  of- 
fice. The  computer's  figures  do  not  agree  with  the  above. 

There  were  4  "special  communications",  2  to  institute,  and  2 
to  constitute  new  lodges  and  2  "occasional  communications"  for 
dedications.  Four  new  lodges  in  2  years  is  a  sign  of  vitality. 

Our  M.W.  Bro.  B.  B.  Foster  attended  the  annual  communica- 
tion. 

The  outstanding  address  was  given  by  the  Governor  of 
Virginia,  Bro.  Mills  E.  Godwin  Jr.,  before  presentation  to  him  of 
the  John  Blair  medal.  Here  are  two  excerpts  from  it. 

"Set  forth  in  the  Declaration  of  Independence,  one  of  the 
foundation  documents,  is  a  principle  that  among  man's  God- 
given  rights  is  not  happiness  but  is  a  pursuit  of  happiness.  The 
opportunity  to  seek  after  it,  the  opportunity  to  earn  it,  the  op-

portunity  to  have  it  as  a  part  of  your  life  because  you  are  will- 
ing to  work  to  want  it.  But  our  forbears  understood  that  only 
the  pursuit  and  not  the  end  product  was  guaranteed.  And  hap- 
piness we  have  to  achieve  for  ourselves.  It  is  something  that 
we  earn  by  our  own  efforts,  by  the  fruits  of  our  own  labors,  by 
the  devotion  to  ideals  and  convictions  and  high  purposes  that 
guide  us.  No  government  can  guarantee  to  its  citizens  hap- 
piness at  all.  It  is  not  a  commodity  to  be  divided  up  if  it  were 
even  in  ample  supply.  But  it  is  an  achievement  that  can  be 
earned." 

"Many  of  our  forebears  and  forefathers  faced  social  and 
economic  conditions  far  more  rigorous  than  those  that  anyone 
in  America  faces  today.  They  were  beset  in  those  days  by  the 
hostile  Indians,  by  the  constant  and  continuing  threat  of  star- 
vation, by  land  that  had  to  be  cleared,  by  roads  that  had  to  be 
cut,  ---  by  land  that  had  to  be  set  aside  and  cultivated  as  it  was 
farmed.  And  yet  there  was  no  thought,  as  they  did  so,  that  acts 
against  the  law  perpetrated  against  their  number  would  be 
forgiven.  ---  They  believed,  as  you  and  I  believe,  that  a  man 
ought  to  be  responsible  for  his  own  acts,  and.  for  the  trangres- 
sions  of  the  law,  that  he  should  be  held  accountable  and 
brought  to  the  bar  of  justice.  ---  They  knew  that  work  was  one 
of  the  ingredients  that  would  make  life  successful  and  make 
liberty  a  reality.  And  whatever  happened  to  the  notion, 
gentlemen,  that  governments  like  families  live  within  their 
means  and  the  alternative  thereto  was  the  road  to  the 
poorhouse  and  inevitable  bankruptcy.  Those  early  Americans 
knew  well  that  they  had  to  make  ends  meet  by  their  own 
resources,  largely  by  the  labors  of  their  own  hands  and  cer- 
tainly of  their  own  minds." 

The  Grand  Master,  M.W.  Bro.  Delano,  emphasized  the  value 
of  youth  organizations  and  stressed  the  importance  of  the  public 
image  and  public  relations  of  Masonry. 

The  Grand  Master  took  the  unusual  step  of  changing  the  deci- 
sion of  what,  obviously,  had  been  a  most  difficult  Masonic  trial. 
An  original  expulsion  had  been  appealed  and  a  retrial  with  change 
in  venue  ordered,  to  provide  "an  emotional  climate  unfettered  by 
popular  opinion".  This  retrial  ordered  a  reprimand  only.  The 
Grand  Master  set  aside  both  verdicts  and  ordered  indefinite 
suspension. 

Grand  Lodge  approved  statewide  concurrent  jurisdiction  and 
permission  for  collective  balloting  in  lodge. 


60  GRAND  LODGE  OF  CANADA 

At  the  end  of  1976  there  were  68  guests  in  the  Masonic  Home 
(average  cost  of  $9,000).  There  were  4  marriages  in  the  Home  dur- 
ing the  year.  Patient  care  was  6.466  patient-days,  about  80%  in  the 
infirmary  care  centre  and  20%  in  hospital.  There  was  surplus 
revenue  over  expenses  approximating  the  Grand  Lodge  assessment 
of  $200,000.  The  endowment  capital  is  over  $7  million. 

Fraternal  reviews,  written  by  the  Grand  Secretary,  for  41 
jurisdictions  are  in  the  proceedings.  Six  Canadian  Grand  Lodges 
are  reviewed,  but  our  Grand  Lodge  is  not  included.

The  Grand  Master,  M.W.  Bro.  Sandoz,  visited  18  lodges  and 
1  Masonic  Club  in  Alaska  in  July  and  returned  to  Anchorage  in 
February  for  an  "all  Alaska"  meeting.  The  G.M.  recognizes  "Life 
is  a  challenge  in  Alaska  and  so  is  Masonry.  The  transitory  popula- 
tion, distances  and  isolation  pose  very  real  problems,  but. 
somehow,  they  recognize  problems  as  a  challenge,  and  so  the\ 
work  at  them  and  thus  their  problems  become  opportunities  ---  I 
have  a  deep  appreciation  of  the  indomitable  spirit  of  Alaska 
Masonry  -  a  spirit  that  will,  one  day,  culminate  in  a  Grand  Lodge 
of  Alaska." 

A  dispensation  was  granted  to  form  Adak  Lodge  at  Adak, 
Alaska,  a  Naval  Station  in  the  far  Aleutians.  There  were  22 
charter  members.  A  Masonic  Club  has  existed  at  Adak  since  1943. 


There  were  5  special  communications  for  laying  cornerstones. 
A  past  Grand  Master  of  Japan  attended  the  annual  communica- 
tion and  the  Japanese  National  Anthem  was  played  and  the  flag 
presented  with  those  of  the  U.S.  and  Canada. 

The  Grand  Master  wrote  to  a  Potentate  that  the  application 
for  "a  Class  H"  (general?)  liquor  license  for  a  Shrine  Club  and 
Temple  "exceeded  all  proper  rule  of  propriety",  placed  the  Temple 
"on  a  collision  course  with  the  Grand  Lodge"  and  made  him  "sub- 
ject to  unmasonic  conduct".  Your  reviewer  did  not  find  any 
further  reference  to  the  matter  in  the  proceedings. 


FRATERNAL  CORRESPONDENCE  61 

The  Grand  Master  agreed  that  funds  derived  from  a  "Bingo" 
at  Nome,  Alaska  could  be  used  in  part  "to  buy  Christmas 
packages  for  non-Masonic  needy  families".  This  was  overruled  by 
the  Committee  on  Jurisprudence  who  held  that  the  Code  required 
use  of  special  funds  to  be  restricted  solely  for  "a  Masonic  purpose" 
and  that  Grand  Lodge  had  previously  ruled  that  "a  Christmas 
party  for  children"  was  not  "a  Masonic  purpose".  Your  reviewer 
would  hope,  with  respect,  that  such  a  narrow  view  would  be 
modified  in  the  future.  The  contrast  with  Florida  (q.v.)  is  extreme. 

The  "Washington  Masonic  Code"  is  being  rewritten.  A  draft 
was  published  and  will  be  considered  next  year. 

The  new  Grand  Master  was  installed  at  a  public  ceremony  just 
before  the  close  of  Grand  Lodge. 

The  Masonic  Home  endowment  is  over  $8.3  million.  There 
were  142  residents,  average  cost  $6,325,  and  the  Home  had  a  sur- 
plus of  $190,000  for  the  year.  It  is  obviously  very  well  run. 

There  are  excellent  reviews  of  "Frater  Jurisdictions".  Canada 
1976  receives  generous  treatment  with  extensive  quotations  from 
M.W.  Bro.  Nancekivell's  address  and  from  the  report  of  the  Com- 
mittee on  the  Condition  of  Masonry.

The  first  page  of  the  proceedings  is  a  form  for  lodge 
secretaries  to  acknowledge  receipt  of  the  proceedings. 

Special  communications  were  held  on  Independence  Rock  for 
bicentennial  celebrations  and  also  for  laying  cornerstones  for  one 
church  and  for  one  elementary  school. 

The  funeral  and  memorial  services  were  revised  (full  texts  in 
proceedings)  and  now  include  appropriate  wording  when  crema- 
tion is  to  be,  or  has  been,  carried  out.  The  new  text  was  proba- 
tionally  adopted  for  one  year. 

The  committee  on  Fraternal  Correspondence  and  Recogni- 
tion expressed  concern  over  the  masonic  situation  in  Brazil  and  in 
Italy.  The  Grand  Secretary  used  masonic  contacts  to  confirm  that

two  "kidnapped"  children  were,  in  fact,  now  with  their  father  at  his 
estate  in  his  "South  American  country."'  This  is  a  classic  case  of 
estrangement  and  conflicting  laws  as  to  custody.  The  masonic  role 
was  merely  to  confirm  that  the  children  were  alive  and  well. 

As  part  of  the  6-year  Grand  Lodge  "line."  the  D.G.M.. 
S.G.W..  J.G.W.  and  S.G.D.  are  each  allotted  one-quarter  of  the 
state,  within  which  they  are  the  Grand  Master's  representative. 
The  incoming  Grand  Master  is.  by  rotation,  therefore  well  ac- 
quainted with  his  whole  jurisdiction. 

Nearly  half  the  proceedings  consists  of  a  complete  roster  by 
lodges  of  all  masons  in  the  state.

ADDRESS  BY  M.W.  BRO.  J.  C.  RASOR 

AT  THE 

GRAND  MASTER'S  BANQUET 

Held  in  the  Canadian  Room 

Royal  York  Hotel,  Toronto,  Ontario 

JULY  19th,  1978 

THE  GRAND  MASTER:  Eric  W.  Nancekivell  will 
introduce  to  you  our  guest  of  the  evening. 

M.W.  BRO.  NANCEKIVELL: 

Most  Worshipful  Grand  Master,  distinguished  Head  Table 
and  my  Brethren:  At  the  Conference  of  Grand  Masters  of  Masons 
in  North  America  in  Washington  this  last  February,  the  key  note 
speaker  was  Bro.  Jerry  Rasor,  Grand  Master  of  the  Grand  Lodge 
of  Ohio.  Present  at  that  conference  were  our  Grand  Master. 
Deputy  Grand  Master,  Grand  Secretary  and  myself.  We  were  all 
thrilled  and  delighted  with  his  address  and  unanimous  in  asking 
him  to  be  the  guest  speaker  at  this  Annual  Communication,  to 
which  he  readily  and  graciously  agreed. 

I  should  like  to  tell  you  a  little  about  our  speaker  of  the 
evening.  Bro.  Rasor  is  a  graduate  of  Ohio  State  University  where 
he  majored  in  radio-television  speech.  He  is  a  broadcaster 
employed  by  the  Outlet  Broadcasting  Company  and  a  member  of 
the  staff  of  W.C.M.H.-T.V.  Channel  4  in  Columbus.  Ohio.  In 
other  words,  he  is  a  communicator  and  he  certainly  can 
communicate. 

He  was  the  Worshipful  Master  of  Lockbourne  Lodge  in  1968 
(as  recently  as  1968)  and  his  father  before  him  was  Master  of  the 
same  Lodge  in  1951.  In  the  York  Rite  he  became  a  Royal  Arch 
Mason  in  1962,  Royal  and  Select  Master  in  1965  and  a  Knights 
Templar  the  same  year.  In  the  Scottish  Rite  he  was  coroneted 
Honorary  33rd  Degree  Sovereign  Grand  Inspector  General  in 
1976.  He  is  an  active  member  of  the  Shrine  and  of  other  Masonic 
and  attached  Bodies.  He  was  installed  Grand  Master  of  the  Grand 
Lodge  of  Ohio  in  October  1977.  You  know  they  have  a  quarter  of  a 
million  Masons  in  Ohio.  This  is  the  largest  Grand  Lodge 
numerically  on  this  continent  and  what  a  distinction  that  is  to  be 
chosen  Grand  Master  from  two  hundred  and  fifty  thousand 
Masons.  Certainly  the  pinnacle  of  a  very  distinguished  Masonic 
career. 


2  APPENDIX  "A" 

It  is  as  such  that  I  present  to  you,  dare  I  say  it,  rasor  sharp 
and  rasor  keen,  Bro.  Jerry  C.  Rasor,  the  Grand  Master  of  the 
Grand  Lodge  of  Ohio,  an  ardent,  enthusiastic  Mason,  an  expert 
communicator,  a  charming  personality  and  our  guest  speaker. 

M.W.  BRO.  J.  C.  RASOR: 

That  in  itself  is  a  very  hard  act  to  follow,  its  one  of  the  finest 
obituaries  I  have  ever  heard. 

I  am  delighted  to  be  here  this  evening  with  you.  Most 
Worshipful  Grand  Master,  your  distinguished  Head  Table  and  all 
of  the  Masons  in  this  room.  Its  a  real  thrill  to  come  via  Allegheny 
Airlines  to  Toronto  —  and  make  it.  (Laughter). 

Yes,  I  do  work  in  television  in  Columbus.  I  work  for  the 
National  Broadcasting  Company  at  the  network  affiliate  and  if 
any  of  you  follow  the  ratings  you  know  that  NBC  is  now  number 
three  behind  CBS  and  ABC  so  I'm  really  not  accustomed  to 
microphones  such  as  this.  We  are  down  to  a  tin  can  and  a  string  in 
Columbus.  But  it  is  a  distinct  opportunity  to  be  invited  here  this 
evening.  This  is  my  first  trip  to  Toronto  and  to  this  province  and  I 
was  able  to  see  some  of  the  city  coming  in  from  the  airport  this 
afternoon.  It  is  a  beautiful,  beautiful  city  and  I  would  like  to  come 
back  at  some  later  date  and  see  more  of  it.  But  I  am  here  tonight  to 
tell  you  something  about  what  we  are  doing  in  Ohio  in 
Freemasonry  this  year.  When  I  was  at  the  Grand  Masters' 
Conference  in  Washington  D.  C.  in  February,  Bro.  Bob  Coley, 
down  there  was  elected  chairman  of  the  entire  Conference  of 
Grand  Masters  of  North  America.  When  you  saw  Bob  stand  up 
you  can  readily  see  that  he  is  a  rather  imposing  man.  I  chose  that 
word  very  carefully  my  Brethren.  He  is  a  very,  very  imposing  guy 
and  a  nice  guy.  A  very  very  gentle  person  although  he  is  large  in 
stature.  We  were  wondering  when  he  was  elected  the  Chairman  of 
the  Conference  in  Washington  how  he  would  address  the  chair  with 
him  in  it.  (Laughter)  —  you're  way  ahead  of  me  my  Brethren  — 
and  a  friend  of  mine  said,  "With  Bob  in  the  chair  I  will  address  it 
very  very  carefully."  And  so  we  do  that. 

You  know,  the  theme  of  that  Conference  in  February,  in 
Washington,  D.  C.  was  "Quo  Vadis  Freemasonry"  —  whither 
goest  thou  Freemasonry.  Now  I  am  not  a  student  of  Latin  and  so 
that  caught  me  a  little  off  base  when  I  was  asked  to  speak  to  that 
particular  gathering,  so  I  went  to  a  good  friend  of  mine  who  is  a 
student  of  Latin.  He  also  happens  to  be  a  Catholic  Priest.  He  is  a 
member  of  the  Catholic  Hierarchy  in  Columbus.  He  is  Monsignor 


APPENDIX  "A"  3 

of  our  largest  Catholic  Cathedral,  St.  Josephs.  He  and  I  belonged 
to  the  Kiwanis  in  Columbus  and  he  kids  me  a  lot  about  being  active 
in  the  Masons  and  I  kid  him  right  back  about  being  a  member  of 
the  Hierarchy  of  the  Roman  Catholic  Church.  He  said,  I 
understand  that  you  are  going  to  Toronto  to  talk  to  a  lot  of 
Masons.  I  said  that's  right,  a  big  audience,  maybe  a  couple  of 
thousand  Masons  will  be  in  the  room  the  night  I  speak.  He  said.  "I 
want  to  give  you  a  story,  Jerry,  that  you  must  tell  all  those  Masons 
in  Canada  and  please  give  me  credit.  Tell  them  that  Father 
Murphy  gave  you  the  story.  So  here's  Father  Murphy's  story,  let 
me  try  it  out  on  you.  It's  about  a  Catholic  Priest  named,  of  all 
things,  Father  Murphy,  a  very  fine  Catholic  Priest  who  was  taking 
an  airplane  trip  and  one  of  his  first  trips  via  plane.  He  got  on  the 
plane,  sat  down  in  his  seat  near  the  window  and  just  before  take-off 
a  very  hippy  looking  character  came  in  and  sat  right  down  beside 
the  Priest.  Now  I  mean,  this  guy  had  the  hair  to  the  shoulders,  the 
beads,  the  ear  rings,  the  whole  deal.  You  know  what  I  mean.  The 
Priest  looked  at  this  young  man  and  he  thought  sometime  during 
this  trip  I'm  going  to  find  an  opportunity  to  talk  to  him,  to  say 
something  to  him  that  will  perhaps  change  the  manner  in  which  he 
is  living  his  life.  So,  the  plane  took  off  and  you  know  how  it  works. 
The  first  thing  that  happened  after  take  off  a  beautiful  stewardess 
came  down  the  aisle  with  drinks  and  she  stopped  at  these  two  seats. 
She  said,  "Father  would  you  like  a  drink?"  He  said.  "No  thank 
you."  She  turned  to  the  hippy  and  she  said,  "How  about  you?" 
And  he  said,  "Yeah,  I'll  have  two  double  martinis,"  and  he  drank 
them,  one  right  after  the  other  and  the  Priest  looked  at  the  kid  and 
frowned.  Next  thing  that  happened  another  beautiful  stewardess 
came  down  the  aisle.  This  time  with  magazines.  He  said,  "No 
thank  you,  I'm  reading  the  Scriptures."  She  turned  to  the  hippy 
and  said.  "How  about  you?"  And  he  said,  "Yeah.  I'll  have  the 
latest  issue  of  Playboy  Magazine."  He  opened  it  right  to  the  centre 
spread.  Now  I've  never  seen  that  but  I  understand  it  is  rather 
interesting.  (Laughter).  Sure  enough  at  that  moment,  the  hippy 
turned  to  the  Priest,  frowned  and  said,  "Pardon  me  sir.  do  you 
know  what  causes  arthritis?"  And  the  Priest  thought  that's  not 
much  of  an  opening  but  it's  probably  the  only  one  I'm  going  to  get 
so  I'll  take  it.  So  he  looked  the  young  man  right  in  the  eye  and 
raised  his  hand  and  he  said,  "Young  man,  I  am  not  a  medical  man 
but  in  my  humble  opinion,  arthritis  is  caused  by  filling  one's  mind 
with  pornographic  thoughts,  by  drinking  too  much  of  alcoholic 
beverages  and  in  general  leading  a  life  of  debauchery;  I  think  that's 
what  causes  arthritis."  The  kid  looked  right  at  him  and  said, 
"Hmmmm,  say's  here  in  this  magazine  that  the  Pope  has 
arthritis."  (Laughter). 


4  APPENDIX  "A" 

I've  been  talking  to  the  Bishop  here  sitting  to  my  immediate 
right  at  the  Head  Table.  I  didn't  tell  him  that  I  live  in  a  very  small 
town  in  Ohio.  A  little  rural  village  called  Commercial  Point.  Two 
hundred  hearty  souls  live  in  my  home  town.  I've  lived  there  all  my 
life,  I  love  it.  But  you  know  Bishop,  in  my  little  town  we  have  just 
one  church  and  we  all  belong  to  it.  It  happens  to  be  a  United 
Methodist  Church.  We  had  a  young  Preacher  there  not  too  long 
ago.  —  Someone  at  the  head  table  said,  "Amen."  Thank  you 
Brother.  —  We  had  a  very  young  and  aggressive  minister  who  was 
in  our  little  church  and  before  he  moved  to  bigger  and  better 
things,  he — we  loved  the  guy,  we  loved  the  guy — was  very  very 
enthusiastic  about  his  job,  but  you  know  in  a  little  church,  the 
Preacher  does  everything.  He  led  the  choir,  he  played  the  piano,  he 
ran  off  the  bulletins,  he  did  everything  that  had  to  be  done.  In 
running  off  the  bulletins,  he  became  a  little  confused  one  Sunday 
and  I  saved  this  bulletin  as  a  souvenir.  This  is  true,  this  really 
happened.  In  our  little  church,  we  have  a  group  called  the  "Little 
Mothers  Club".  Young  married  gals  belong  to  it;  you  know.  So  in 
the  bulletin  one  Sunday  he  wanted  to  announce  a  meeting  of  the 
club  but  it  came  out  like  this  in  the  bulletin.  All  those  wishing  to 
become  little  mothers  meet  the  minister  in  his  study  right  after 
church.  (Laughter). 

Also,  churches  many  years  ago  were  very,  very  conservative 
—  lets  face  it  —  but  today  they  are  thinking  more  in  terms  of 
public  relations.  Have  you  noticed  the  signs  out  in  front  of 
churches  these  days  —  what  they  say.  They  don't  just  say,  sunday 
school  at  such  and  such  a  time,  church  at  such  and  such  a  time. 
They  now  have  catchy  little  phrases.  And  one  that  really  got  me  — 
driving  to  the  airport  this  morning  —  I  noticed  one  near  the  airport 
in  Columbus,  it  said  if  you've  given  up  sin,  come  right  in,  and 
someone  had  written  underneath  in  chalk,  if  you  haven't  call  782- 
4435!  —  The  laughter  is  good,  but  hitting  the  tables  is  even  better 
men.  I  like  that  back  there. 

Well,  one  little  story;  I  love  to  tell  stories  to  get  you  in  a  good 
mood,  and  then  I  would  like  to  talk  seriously  to  you;  but  a  friend  of 
mine  recently  went  through  a  rather  trying  experience  in  his  life. 
His  wife  had  to  have  plastic  surgery  on  her  cheek  and  they  were 
unable  to  find  skin  that  would  take  and  finally  they  called  him  in 
and  said,  "Sir,  we're  going  to  have  to  search  various  areas  of  your 
body  to  try  to  find  skin  that  will  take  on  your  wife's  cheek."  And 
they  finally  found  it  on  his  rump  and  it  worked  and  they  put  it  on 
her  cheek  in  an  operation  and  it  took.  She  came  out  of  the  surgery, 
still  somewhat  under  the  effects  of  the  anesthesia  and  she  was  lying 


APPENDIX  "A"  5 

there  in  her  bed  of  pain  and  looking  up  and  there  he  stood  over  her 
bed  as  she  came  out  from  under  the  anesthesia  and  he  was  standing 
there  just  smiling.  She  said.  "Dear,  why  are  you  standing  there 
over  my  bed  like  that  smiling  at  a  moment  like  this?"  He  said. 
"Honey,  I  can't  wait  until  your  mother  comes  in  here  and  kisses 
you  on  your  cheek."  (Laughter) 

Well  my  Brethren,  the  question  seriously,  is  whither  goest 
thou  Freemasonry  in  1978.  Maybe  we're  a  little  arthritic,  I  don't 
know.  Maybe  we're  a  little  aged  at  this  point  in  time  and  I  think 
that  we  must  look  to  new  ideas  and  new  approaches  and  new  ways 
of  solving  the  problems  that  beset  this  great  old  fraternity  of  ours 
in  1978.  When  I  was  installed  as  Grand  Master  of  Ohio  last 
October,  in  Cleveland,  I  decided  that  I  wanted  an  invitation 
installation  for  the  first  time  in  the  history  of  our  Grand  Lodge. 
And  our  Grand  Lodge  was  instituted  in  1809.  I  wanted  guests  to 
come  and  see  this  beautiful  ceremony.  I  wanted  particularly  for  the 
ladies  to  be  there,  to  see  the  meaning  of  this  beautiful  Grand  Lodge 
Installation.  But  I  had  a  little  bit  of  trouble.  Some  of  the  Past 
Grand  Masters  weren't  too  sure  that  this  was  proper  and  that  I 
should  do  it  at  this  point  in  time  in  the  history  of  our  Grand  Lodge. 
We  have  never  done  that  before.  Some  of  you  have  heard  that  I'm 
sure.  We  have  never  done  it  before  in  the  history  of  our  Grand 
Lodge  but  I  was  determined  that  it  would  be  done.  We  put  in  a  lot 
of  hard  work  and  time  and  effort  to  carry  it  off.  My  Brethren  it 
was  a  beautiful  ceremony.  Nearly  three  thousand  people  filled  the 
Scottish  Rite  Cathedral  in  Cleveland  to  see  it.  And  now.  thank 
God,  some  of  those  Past  Grand  Masters  are  coming  to  me  saying. 
Jerry,  we  were  wrong,  we  admit  it,  it  was  a  good  thing,  it  was  good 
for  Freemasonry  even  though  it  was  new  and  it  was  different  and  it 
had  never  been  done  before. 

When  I  was  installed,  on  that  same  day,  I  said  to  all  the 
Brethren  and  ladies  in  that  auditorium,  that  I  welcomed  the 
challenge  of  serving  as  Grand  Master  of  the  largest  Grand 
Jurisdiction  in  North  America.  I  accepted  the  responsibility  that 
was  placed  on  my  shoulders  that  day.  I  said  I  looked  forward  to  the 
opportunity  of  serving  the  nearly  quarter  million  Masons  in  our 
great  Buckeye  State.  But  I  also  said  this,  and  I  believe  it  as  much 
tonight  as  I  did  last  October,  if  Freemasonry  is  going  to  make 
strides  in  the  future  we've  got  to  use  imagination,  innovation  and 
invention  if  we  are  going  to  solve  the  problems  that  lie  ahead.  I  like 
to  call  those  the  three  I's.  Imagination,  invention,  and  innovation. 
If  we  do  that,  my  Brethren,  we  can  change  apathy  to  enthusiasm, 
we  can  change  the  negative  look  at  our  problems  to  a  positive 


6  APPENDIX  "A" 

approach  to  solving  them  —  that's  the  name  of  the  game  — 
whether  its  in  Freemasonry,  Kiwanis,  Lions,  Rotary  or  whatever,  a 
positive  approach  to  solving  the  problems  that  are  ours.  We  can, 
we  will,  and  we  shall  do  it  if  we  but  apply  ourselves  to  the  task. 

Now  I'm  told  that  this  is  the  first  time  in  our  Grand  Lodge 
history  in  Ohio  that  a  man  in  television  has  been  Grand  Master. 
It's  a  new  ballgame.  When  my  bosses  say  I  must  be  there  for  the 
six  and  eleven  o'clock  news  on  which  I  appear  each  day,  I  have  to 
be  there.  I  can't  always  make  the  trips  that  I  would  desire  to  make. 
I  flew  here  today  and  will  fly  out  of  here  tomorrow  morning  at  7:00 
a.m.  to  return  to  Ohio  to  appear  on  television  again  tomorrow  but 
my  Brethren,  if  a  Grand  Master  is  to  be  successful,  and  I  know 
these  Grand  Masters  who  are  seated  here  at  this  table  come  from 
all  walks  of  life,  but  if  a  Grand  Master  is  to  be  successful,  and  we 
all  want  that  —  we  want  that  mantle  —  when  we  lay  aside  the 
duties  and  responsibilities  of  this  office  we  want  all  of  you  out  there 
to  say,  that  guy,  that  man,  that  Grand  Master  was  successful.  He 
achieved  the  goals  he  set  for  himself  and  for  our  Grand  Lodge. 

I  can  only  tell  you  from  my  own  experience  some  of  the  things 
that  have  been  successful,  some  of  the  plans  I've  laid  out  in  Ohio, 
new  ideas,  new  thoughts,  new  approaches.  We've  got  to  walk 
untried  pathways  if  we're  going  to  be  successful  in  1978. 

Let  me  say  this  loud  and  clear,  we  will  never  drop  the 
beautiful  tenets  of  our  profession  or  the  lessons  in  the  Ritual,  they 
are  immutable. 

But  if  we  are  afraid  to  try  new  techniques  then  the  success  we 
want  so  desperately  will  elude  us.  I  want  to  be  a  visible  Grand 
Master,  and  I  know  that  each  man  at  this  table  wants  that  same 
title.  I  want  the  members  of  my  Grand  Lodge  to  see  me.  When  I 
was  Master  back  in  1968  I  saw  the  Grand  Master  once  at  the 
reception  held  in  his  honour  in  Columbus  and  I  was  in  row  37C  or 
something  like  that;  I  needed  binoculars  to  see  him.  That's  the  only 
time  I  saw  him.  I  never  touched  him,  I  never  shook  hands  with 
him,  I  never  chatted  with  him.  Success,  my  Brethren,  is  being 
visible  and  making  yourself  a  part  of  all  the  activities  of  your  lodge 
if  you're  the  Master;  of  your  Grand  Lodge  if  you're  the  Grand 
Master;  a  functioning  part,  not  a  titular  head,  a  functioning  head. 

Last  year  when  I  was  Deputy  Grand  Master,  I  went  to  see 
Chuck  Ward  and  some  of  you  may  remember  Chuck,  our  Grand 
Master,  5'  18"  tall.  A  rather  healthy  looking  chap.  I  said,  "Grand 
Master,  I'm  only  Deputy  Grand  Master,  I  hope  that  you  will 


APPENDIX  "A"  7 

understand  what  I'm  trying  to  say  to  you  but  I  want  to  go  out  and 
talk  to  every  Senior  Warden  in  this  entire  state."  He  looked  at  me 
and  he  said,  "Jerry,  we've  never  done  that  before."  And  I  said,  "I 
know  we  haven't  but  I  want  to  do  it.  I  want  to  take  my  programme 
to  every  Senior  Warden  in  this  state  during  the  spring  before  the 
summer  recess  so  that  next  fall  when  he  becomes  Master  he  will 
know  my  plans  and  he  can  help  to  formulate  my  plans  during  his 
year  as  Master  of  his  Lodge."  So  we  did  it.  I  held  a  series  of 
meetings  and  I  called  them  "Let's  Plan  Together."  I  went  all  over 
the  state  of  Ohio,  held  regional  meetings  and  met  with  the  Senior 
Wardens  and,  would  you  believe  it,  they  came  out  to  see  this  guy. 
who  would  come  out  before  he  was  elected  Grand  Master  and  lay 
before  them  the  plans  he  had  put  together  for  his  year  in  the  Grand 
East,  and  it  was  most  effective.  They  were  excited  about  the  idea 
that  a  Deputy  Grand  Master  was  out  there  telling  them  to  "come 
on  men  we're  going  to  do  it  next  year  and  we're  going  to  do  it 
together",  we're  going  to  turn  this  Grand  Lodge  around.  Our 
Grand  Lodge  has  been  losing  twenty-five  hundred  members 
annually  for  the  last  twenty  years  and  still  we  remain  the  largest 
Grand  Jurisdiction  on  this  continent.  Many  of  you  are  in  the  same 
predicament.  How  long  can  we  continue  to  lose  members  and  still 
remain  a  viable  Fraternal  Organization.  John  Lloyd,  who  is  now 
the  Emeritus  Deputy  of  the  Scottish  Rite  in  Ohio  and  an  insurance 
man,  compiled  some  facts.  Let  me  tell  you  this.  It's  rather  mind 
bogling.  He  said  in  a  talk  recently  if  Freemasonry  continues  the 
downhill  slide  for  the  next  twenty-five  years  that  its  had  for  the 
past  twenty-five,  by  the  year  1990  the  York  Rite  will  cease  to  exist. 
By  the  year  2037  there  will  be  just  one  hundred  thousand  Masons 
left  in  the  entire  United  States  of  America.  Is  this  what  we  want  for 
this  Fraternity  for  which  we've  worked  long  and  hard? 

There's  a  town  in  Ohio  called  Hamilton,  down  near 
Cincinnati.  A  good  friend  of  mine  told  me  that  in  the  20's  the 
Oddfellows  were  the  greatest  Fraternal  Organization  in  Hamilton, 
Ohio.  They  had  a  huge  Temple  with  big  marble  pillars,  hundreds  of 
members.  Today  you  go  to  Hamilton,  Ohio  and  there  is  not  a 
temple,  its  a  parking  lot  and  you  cannot  find  one  member  of  the 
Oddfellows  —  it  is  extinct  in  Hamilton,  Ohio,  and  in  many  other 
cities  all  around  the  country. 

Freemasonry  cannot  allow  itself  to  fall  into  this  trap.  We 
need,  I  believe  more  than  anything  else,  my  Brethren,  —  and 
whether  you  agree  with  me  or  not — I  want  to  tell  you  how  I  feel. 
Freemasonry  must  begin  to  shed  that  mantle  of  ultra  secrecy  which 
has  clouded  our  image  for  lo  these  many  years.  We've  got  to  get 


8  APPENDIX  "A" 

our  light  out  from  under  the  bushel.  We've  got  to  spread  the  light 
of  Freemasonry  and  tell  all  those  outside  our  Temple  walls  the 
beautiful  story  we  have  to  tell. 

In  Ohio  this  year  it  was  my  desire  that  to  do  this  we  open  an 
old  Lodge  in. conjunction  with  our  historical  society.  A  Lodge 
accurate  in  every  description  from  the  1800's.  We've  done  it.  In 
spite  of  the  fact  that  we  had  not  done  that  before  and  there  were 
many  of  them  afraid  that  we  couldn't  do  it  but  we've  done  it  and 
thousands  of  people,  young  and  old,  are  going  to  go  through  that 
old  Lodge  and  be  told  the  story  of  Freemasonry  and  will  be 
impressed  by  what  they  see  and  hear. 

Another  way  in  which  we  could  tell  the  beautiful  story  of 
Freemasonry  to  those  outside  the  Fraternity  and  I  told  you  about 
going  out  and  talking  to  the  Senior  Wardens,  I  gave  them  four 
programmes.  Let  me  very  quickly  tell  you  what  I  told  them.  I  said, 
men  I  want  you  to  try  next  year  to  implement  just  these  four 
programmes.  If  you'll  do  that  we  can  turn  Freemasonry  around  in 
1978  and  start  the  uphill  climb  and  not  the  downhill  slide  we've 
been  on  for  the  past  twenty  years.  Four  programmes.  This  is  the 
one  hundred,  seventy  fifth  anniversary  of  Ohio's  admission  to  the 
union.  Masons  brought  our  state  into  the  union  in  1803  and  we're 
celebrating  that  fact.  We're  having  a  big  state-wide  celebration 
sponsored  by  the  Masons  on  August  19th  and  the  Grand  Masters 
of  those  Grand  Lodges  that  chartered  our  six  founding  Lodges  are 
coming  in  with  us  and  some  of  them  are  sitting  here  at  this  head 
table  tonight. 

I  told  them  to  have  a  widow's  night,  and  to  honour  the  ladies 
whose  husbands  had  given  so  much  of  themselves  to  Freemasonry. 
My  mom  is  a  Masonic  widow  and  I  know  what  it  would  mean  to 
her  if  she  were  invited  to  the  Lodge  for  a  night  in  her  honour. 
Many  Lodges  have  held  these  nights  and  I  wish  you  could  see  the 
letters  I  have  received  from  widows  throughout  our  state, 
thanking  me,  many  saying  that  it  is  the  first  time  since  their 
husband's  death  that  they  have  been  invited  to  the  Lodge. 
Brethren,  we  can  never,  ever  forget  these  ladies.  And  one  in 
particular  has  deep  meaning  for  me.  A  night  with  the  Clergy  is  one 
of  the  programmes  that  I  suggested.  To  invite  the  Rabbis  and 
Priests  and  the  Ministers  into  our  Temple.  Have  a  night  in  their 
honour.  Tell  them  this  beautiful  story  and  send  them  back  to  their 
Churches  and  Synagogues  and  Cathedrals  with  a  better  insight 
into  what  this  great  old  Fraternity  means.  In  many  areas  my 
Brethren  we  are  being  talked  down  by  Ministers  and  Priests  and 
Rabbis  because  they  don't  know  who  we  are.  A  friend  of  mine 


APPENDIX  "A"  9 

from  the  television  studio  went  home  for  a  weekend,  went  to 
church  and  she  came  back  in  a  state  of  shock  and  she  said,  "Jerry, 
I  heard  the  most  violent  anti-masonic  sermon  from  the  pulpit  this 
morning  I've  ever  heard  —  in  my  home  church.  This  minister  did 
not  understand  us  and  what  he  did  not  understand  he  feared  and 
what  he  feared  he  talked  against." 

Another  programme  and  I  think  this  is  the  most  important  of 
all,  and  men  we've  had  tremendous  success  with  this  programme  in 
Ohio.  It's  called  "Lets  Get  Acquainted".  All  I  did  was  ask  those 
men  who  were  going  to  be  Worshipful  Masters  of  the  Lodges  to 
have  a  night  called  "Lets  Get  Acquainted"  to  personally  invite 
those  quality  men  in  the  community  who  should  be  Masons  but  for 
one  reason  or  another  are  not,  invite  them  into  the  Temples,  have  a 
programme  for  them,  tell  them  about  Freemasonry,  send  them 
away  with  a  good  feeling  about  the  Fraternity  and  let  them  know 
that  we're  not  just  a  little  secret  society  meeting  up  on  the  second 
floor  of  that  building.  We're  a  Fraternal  organization  with  deep 
roots  in  the  community.  I  insisted  that  wives  be  invited  right  along 
with  these  men. 

One  little  Lodge  near  Columbus  that  was  having  one 
candidate  per  year  held  one  of  these  meetings  and  at  the  next  stated 
meeting  they  had  six  petitions  all  of  them  as  a  result  of  that  one 
"Lets  Get  Acquainted"  meeting. 

Gentlemen,  public  relations  is  my  ballgame,  and  you  in  all 
other  walks  of  life  I'm  sure  that  each  of  us  does  what  we  can  to 
improve  our  Lodge.  We  have  a  little  booklet  in  Ohio  —  Judge,  we 
stole  it  from  Pennsylvania  and  I  want  to  thank  you  for  that  —  it's 
called  "Freemasonry  —  a  Way  of  Life"  and  it  is,  isn't  it.  It's  a  way 
of  conducting  our  lives.  We  take  good  men  and  we  make  them 
better.  This  little  booklet  can  be  shown  to  anyone  at  anytime  and 
anyplace  and  in  very  concise  and  easy  to  understand  terms  it  tells 
what  we're  all  about.  In  each  of  those  "Lets  Get  Acquainted" 
meetings  those  little  booklets  were  given  to  the  guests. 

I  have  a  public  relations  committee.  They  put  out  a  little  book 
called  "Sharing  Masonry".  How  to  get  prints  in  the  newspapers, 
how  to  get  pictures  of  your  functions  in  the  newspapers.  We  have  a 
brand  new  publication  and  I  think  this  is  probably  most  important, 
its  called  a  "Mason's  Lady",  designed  specifically  for  your  ladies. 
You  know  what  these  gals  tell  me?  They  say,  Jerry,  my  husband 
doesn't  know  what  to  tell  me  about  Freemasonry  so  he  doesn't  tell 
me  anything.  He's  out  of  the  house  night  after  night  going  to  those 
Masonic  meetings,  at  least  that's  what  he  tells  me,  and  I  really 


10  APPENDIX  "A" 

have  no  idea  what  its  all  about.  I  would  like  to  know  the  things  that 
I  can  know.  This  little  booklet  is  designed  specifically  for  that 
purpose.  To  let  the  ladies  know  the  things  that  they  should  know 
about  this  Fraternity. 

We  have  a  film  this  year  for  the  first  time  in  our  history.  A 
public  relations  vehicle  called  "A  Precious  Heritage"  —  the  story 
of  our  Grand  Lodge  intertwined  with  the  history  of  our  state 
during  this  the  175th  anniversary  of  Ohio.  It's  been  most 
successful.  It  received  a  gold  medal  at  the  International  Film 
Festival  in  New  York.  It  was  produced  by  Allan  Roberts  of 
Virginia.  It's  in  such  great  demand  in  Ohio  that  we  can't  get  it  out 
fast  enough.  Eastern  Star  Chapters  want  to  see  it.  York  Rite 
Bodies  want  to  see  it.  The  Lodges  want  to  see  it  —  it's  a 
tremendous  public  relations  vehicle.  Public  relations  done 
discreetly  and  tactfully  is  something  that  we  have  to  think  about  in 
1978.  something  we've  got  to  use  because  it  can  do  great  things  for 
us. 

You  know,  when  I  visit  a  Lodge,  and  I've  visited  a  lot  of  them 
and  all  of  us  do,  when  I  walk  into  a  Lodge  and  I  see  a  lot  of  grey 
heads  I  know  that  that  Lodge  is  blessed  with  great  experience  and 
great  maturity  but  if  I  don't  see  any  young  men  I  know  that  Lodge 
is  in  trouble.  Its  future  is  in  doubt.  We  must  in  some  manner 
interest  the  young  men  in  this  Fraternity.  You  know  the  young 
men  are  a  new  breed  of  cat.  They're  not  the  same  as  we  were, 
they're  not  the  same  as  any  of  us.  I'll  bet  most  of  you  in  this  room 
have  spent  most  of  your  lives  in  one  spot,  maybe  in  a  relatively 
small  area  of  the  globe.  I  read  a  book  not  long  ago.  It  said  the  kids 
today  are  probably  born  in  one  area,  they  go  to  school  in  another, 
live  in  another,  have  recreation  in  another.  It's  a  different  world 
and  we've  got  to  do  different  and  inventive  things  if  we're  going  to 
interest  young  men  in  becoming  Freemasons.  Today's  youth 
doesn't  share  with  you  the  discipline  of  the  institutions  and  the 
people  of  a  single  home  community.  So  if  he's  going  to  make  it,  if 
he's  going  to  promulgate  a  self  discipline,  and  that's  what  he's 
going  to  have  to  do  to  make  it  in  this  world,  where  does  he  get  it? 
I'll  tell  you  where  he  gets  it.  Self  discipline  is  conscience,  and  what 
is  conscience.  Conscience  is  a  core  of  building  guidelines  or  truths, 
self  discipline  a  value  system,  a  deeper  conscience.  If  it  sounds 
familiar  my  Brethren  it  ought  to,  because  those  are  the 
fundamental  philosophies  and  teachings  of  Freemasonry.  Robert 
Browning  wrote  that  life  has  meaning  and  he  defined  that  meaning 
as  "My  Meat  and  my  Drink".  Young  people  ioday  are  deeply 
concerned  with  discovering  their  own  identities.  They  want  to  do 
their  own  thing. 


APPENDIX  "A"  II 

Jack  Nicklaus  —  greatest  golfer  who  ever  lived  —  is  from 
Ohio.  I  can  say  that,  he's  from  Ohio.  He's  bowing  out  just  a  little 
now  but  he  comes  to  Columbus  every  now  and  then  and  one  of  the 
first  places  he  goes  to  is  the  school  for  the  blind.  In  Columbus,  we 
have  a  rather  remarkable  such  school.  Not  long  ago  Jack  was  there 
and  this  boy  came  out,  a  young  kid  came  up  who  of  course  could 
not  see  and  he  said.  "Jack  I  want  to  shake  your  hand  but  not  only 
that  I've  been  practicing  golf,  practicing  every  day  and  I  can  play 
golf  and  I  want  to  challenge  you  to  nine  holes."  Nicklaus  said. 
"Well  I'm  pretty  good  you  know,  I've  played  this  game  a  long 
time."  The  kid  said,  "Well,  I  don't  care,  I've  practiced  and 
practiced  waiting  for  you  to  come.  Nine  holes  is  all  I  ask.  Will  you 
allow  me  to  play  nine  holes  of  golf  with  you?"  And  Nicklaus  said. 
"Well  okay,  when  do  you  want  to  play?"  and  the  kid  said  .  "How 
about  eleven-thirty  tonight!"  (Laughter). 

You  see  they  want  to  do  their  own  thing.  They  want  to 
discover  their  own  identity.  They  want  to  know  where  they  are 
going.  They  want  to  discover  life.  This  above  all  to  thine  own  self 
be  true  and  it  shall  follow  as  the  night  the  day  thou  canst  be  false 
to  any  man.  We  can't  make  these  young  men  aware  of  the  tenets  of 
Freemasonry  unless  we  make  ourselves  available  to  them,  and  in 
so  doing  lead  that  industrious,  self  reliant,  clean  and  wholesome 
life  that  we  talk  about.  We  can't  only  talk  about  it,  we've  got  to 
practice  it.  We've  got  to  show  an  example  that  can  be  emulated  by 
these  young  people.  If  we  don't  live  the  teachings  of  this  profession 
then  who  will?  If  the  leaders  are  not  willing  to  lead,  then  who  will0 

Today's  youth  are  confused  and  concerned  about  their  role  in 
this  society.  They  need  a  meaningful  code  of  ethics  and  we've  got 
it.  We  have  got  to  practice  it.  We  have  it  in  Freemasonry  like  no 
other  organization  in  the  world  but  we  have  got  to  practice  it. 
twenty-four  hours  a  day  in  and  out  of  the  Lodge.  You  know 
something  and  I  believe  this  sincerely,  sometimes  we  put  too  much 
emphasis  on  memorization  by  rote.  Let's  not  worry  about  "by 
rote"  up  here.  Let's  worry  about  by  heart  —  right  here  —  where  it 
counts.  I  understand  the  DeMolay  Chapters  are  just  beginning  to 
be  formulated  here  in  Canada  and  in  this  Province.  The  DeMolay 
Chapter  in  Ohio  needed  help  not  long  ago  and  they  came  to  me  and 
they  said  they  had  all  the  money  they  needed  —  didn't  need  money. 
Do  you  know  what  they  needed?  They  needed  Masons  to  serve  as 
advisors  and  you  know  something,  we  couldn't  find  them.  We 
couldn't  find  enough  concerned  Masons  to  serve  as  advisors  to 
those  young  men  who  needed  help  so  desperately.  The  future  of 
this  institution  lies  in  our  ability  to  communicate  with  these  young

men  from  all  walks  of  life.  I  think  we  had  better  start  thinking 
about  Harry  S.  Truman,  Past  Grand  Master  of  Missouri  and 
President  of  the  United  States.  He  said,  "The  buck  stops  right 
here."  Right  here  at  the  doorstep  of  each  of  us,  who  would  call 
ourselves  Freemasons. 

I  want  to  tell  you  about  one  more  programme  that  took  place 
in  Ohio  this  year.  A  first  in  our  state.  During  Brotherhood  Week. 
the  Grand  Lodge  of  Ohio  sponsored  a  series  of  Brotherhood 
programmes,  in  six  major  cities,  for  the  first  time  in  history,  in 
conjunction  with  the  Knights  of  Columbus,  and  B'nai  B'rith,  our 
Catholic  Brethren,  and  our  Jewish  Brethren.  They  were 
tremendously  successful.  I  was  made  an  honorary  member  of  the 
Knights  of  Columbus  —  First  Grand  Master  in  our  history  I  am 
sure  who  is  also  a  member  of  the  Knights  of  Columbus.  But  it's  a 
great  thing,  ecumenism.  You  know  what  ecumenism  means  don't 
you.  It  means  that  now  the  Jews  can  eat  pork,  the  Catholics  can  eat 
meat  on  Friday  and  the  United  Methodists  can  speak  to  each  other 
in  the  liquor  store.  (Laughter).  My  Brethren,  enthusiasm  is  the  key 
to  our  success.  Henry  Ford  said  that  with  it  there  is  a  great  success, 
unlimited  possibilities;  without  it  there  are  only  alibis.  I  don't 
intend  to  offer  any  alibis  at  the  end  of  my  term  of  Office  because  I 
want  this  enthusiasm  to  rub  off  on  every  Mason  in  our  state  and  I 
want  them  to  know  that  we're  going  to  do  it.  We're  going  to 
accomplish  our  goals  and  we're  going  to  be  successful. 

Three  things  stand  out  in  my  mind,  many  more  perhaps,  but 
three  very  memorable  moments  as  Grand  Master  and  I'm  sure 
that  every  Grand  Master  at  this  Head  Table  could  repeat  things 
that  have  stuck  with  them. 

I  presented  a  seventy-five  year  pin  to  a  ninety-eight  year  old 
gentleman  in  Zainsville,  Ohio.  He  lives  alone,  at  ninety-eight.  He's 
very  stooped,  walks  with  a  cane.  I  went  to  his  home  to  present  the 
seventy-five  year  pin.  I  walked  in  and  chatted  with  him  briefly  and 
I  said  that  I  would  like  to  affix  this  pin  to  your  lapel.  He  said. 
"Grand  Master,  not  this  coat,  I  want  it  to  go  on  my  good  coat."  So 
he  went  to  the  closet,  pulled  out  a  rather  shabby  looking  coat  — 
but  that  was  his  good  one  —  turned  and  faced  me,  dropped  his 
cane,  and  stood  as  straight  as  an  arrow  and  said,  "Grand  Master 
I'm  ready." 

I  went  to  our  Ohio  Masonic  Home  to  present  pins  to  several 
older  members.  One  gentleman  didn't  appear  to  know  who  I  was 
or  where  he  was  as  a  matter  of  fact.  I  affixed  the  pin  to  his  lapel 
and  turned  to  leave.  He  looked  up  and  said,  "Thank  you,  Grand 
Master." 


APPENDIX  "A"  13 

We  had  an  all-Ohio  Masonic  home  day  this  year  and  nearly 
five  thousand  Masons  went  to  our  home.  We  had  entertainment 
and  it  was  a  cold  day  but  they  wrapped  the  patients  in  blankets  so 
they  could  watch  the  entertainment  outside,  and  a  sight  I  shall 
never  forget  is  those  patients,  wrapped  in  blankets  refusing  to  leave 
because  it  was  their  day,  and  the  Masons  of  Ohio  made  it  so. 

You  know  there's  a  song  from  Lerner  &  Lowes'  My  Fair 
Lady,  the  title  of  the  song  is  "Show  Me".  When  I  heard  that  title  I 
thought  that  applied  to  each  of  us  in  Fraternity.  I  want  to  close 
with  a  challenge  my  Brethren,  if  you  believe  in  brotherly  love,  relief 
and  truth  —  show  me.  If  you  believe  that  faith,  hope  and  charity 
are  not  just  words  but  are  a  way  of  living  —  show  me.  If  you 
believe  in  the  teachings  of  that  book  which  is  open  on  the  Altar  of 
each  one  of  our  meetings  —  show  me  —  and  if  you're  willing  to 
stand  up  for  this  great  old  Fraternity,  and  work  for  it.  and  fight  for 
it,  and  give  of  yourself  for  it,  then  SHOW  ME  AND  SHOW  ME 
NOW! 

Thank  you  very  much. 

(Prolonged  Applause).
