Proceedings of fhe [October 14,

Gracious Heavenly Father:

We beseech Thee to graut us Thy blessing so that the proceedings of
this grand lodge shall be in harmony with the worship of God, the unity
and solidarity of our order.

We have much cause for rejoicing. Marvellous changes have taken
place since last we met. The cessation of hostilities with a foreign foe,
the welcome with delight of our brothers who went across the seas to fight
for principles so dear to the people of this land.

The building up of our Masonic order iu numbers and material wealth
is cause for thanksgiving, for, what we have achieved is but a faint pro-
phecy of what we are yet to do; our responsibilities have just begun; the
problems of peace call for as much thought and consideration as the prob-
lems of war, and we trust that our country shall emerge from the present
social unrest, with a clearer conception of the rights, duties and responsi-
bilities of citizenship, and with a more striking fidelity to the flag and
the institutions for which it stands. To this end impress us with our line
of duty, and help us with morning hearts and morning faces; with courage
of conviction and strength of manhood to achieve that for which we have
been divinely called.

Gathered here this morning a peculiar hush comes to our spirits,
as we recall the faces of our brothers who met with us last year, but who
are absent now. They have fought a good fight, have kept the faith and
have finished their course in triumph, but their memory is a benediction.

Our beloved grand master, whom we learned to regard with brotherly
affection, has been called home, in the midst of his busy plans and splendid
activities. For years, a familiar figure among us, his counsel was eagerly
sought and freely given. Noble in purpose, upright in life, reverent in
spirit, brotherly in affection, enthusiastic in the cause of Masonry, a lover
of God and a believer in men, he has wrought a good work. We feel the
impress of his personality, the touch of his spirit is here, for altho dead,
he yet speaketh, aud the good he did in life, lives after him.

Altho we are compelled to recognize the mutability of all things on
which rests the earthly stamp, we are also glad to know that God and
truth are eternal. The workman is removed, but the work is carried on.
Thou art raising up men to finish the tasks begun by others, so we rejoice
that in the midst of human changes, the order, of which we are a part, is
founded upon the eternal principles of truth, and are not subject to decay;
that the mantle of one man falls upon the shoulders of another, who is
duly and truly prepared for the responsibilities of his office, and now we
pray that Thy blessing may rest upon him who has been called upon during
the year, to assume the duties of grand master, that he may have the wis-

1919] Grand Lodge of Illinois 5

dom and help of Thy spirit in discharging those duties in the spirit of true
helpfulness. Give him health of body and happiness of mind in this great
office.

Bless the members of this grand lodge, and may all that is done here
be in the spirit of unity and true fraternity! Amen.

The grand marshal, with the grand stewards, retired and
returned with the flag, and presented it to the grand master
who placed it in the grand East while the brethren sang
"America."

FIRST REPORT— Committee on Credentials.

Bro. Emmett Howard, chairman of the Committee on
Credentials, announced that representatives from a constitu-
tional number of lodges were present, and asked further time
to complete their report. The request was granted.

A MEMORIAL SERVICE.

The Grand Master:

When the present Masonic year falls out of the calendar it will bring
to a close the most memorable twelve-month in the World 's history ; not only
from a fraternal standpoint, but from the standpoint of all nations and all
peoples. No year in history has been so crowded with events of large
meaning and none has shown more remarkable progress. But in the midst
of our season of success in growth and material prosperity we were again
reminded of the slender thread upon which our lives depend.

During the year this grand lodge has suffered an unprecedented loss in
the passing of our beloved brethren, Most Worshipful Brother Monroe C.
Crawford, dean of our past grand masters, and our Most Worshipful Grand
Master, Brother Austin H. Scrogin.

Brother Crawford had lived past the years alloted to man. He had
passed through the green of his spring-time, the gold of his summer, the
crimson of his autumn and had long since put on the ermine of his winter.
His spirit grown weary of its earthly tabernacle returned to the Father
who gave it.

At the zenith of his manhood, just when his greatness was still aspir-
ing, Austin H. Scrogin answered the final summons.

Proceedings of the [October 14,

Not only have these illustrious men gone, but many of our beloved
brethren who were engaged in the mighty conflict just closed, made the
supreme sacrifice in order that Liberty may not perish from the earth.

And now ' ' lest we forget, ' ' let us reverently pause in our labors and
devote our time for a little to the sacred memory of our brethren ' ' who
are away. ' '

With this end in view I have requested Most Worshipful Brother God-
dard, past grand master, to speak for Brother Crawford, Most Worshipful
Brother Owen Scott, past grand master, for Brother Scrogin, and Brother
Henry E. Eathbone for our soldier dead.

M.W. Bro. Leroy A. Goddard :

After an earthly pilgrimage of eighty-four years, sixty of which
had been spent in one home in Jonesboro, Illinois, our brother, Monroe
C. Crawford, entered upon the Sabbath of eternity as the dawn broke
on Sunday morning, the ninth day of last March.

It is not for me to record his personal history, as upon the pages
of our proceedings will appear the memoir of this distinguished Mason,
this kindly gentleman and conscientious American; the dean of our
past grand masters, and whose citizenship was an honor to the great
state of Illinois.

A man of generous sympathies, he possessed a character of sterling
excellence. Ever truly regardful of the interests of others, he under-
stood the art of making allowances for the frailties of human nature,
and by his cordial handshake, his kindly words and helpful advice, car-
ried the gospel of hope and courage to the aged, of strength and resolu-
tion to those in middle life, while his influence was an inspiration to
multitudes of young men privileged to enjoy his personal acquaintance.

He gave forty-four years of service to the public as a judge upon
the bench, and exemplified faithfully the highest ideals of fine, clean,
strong manhood. He labored industriously in a dignified, straightfor-
ward manner for the common good. No word of adverse criticism was
ever justly uttered against his integrity of purpose.

This great soul was generous to a fault and possessed a lovable,
sympathetic nature. With attractive personality, always courteous and
kindly, yet he was physically and intellectually a fearless man, and
conscientiously sincere and loyal to his convictions. He was untinged
by prejudice, and admirably discharged the most difficult tasks in full
recognition of the rights of others and with consideration of all God's
people, regardless of class, caste or social standing.

1919] Grand Lodge of Illinois 7

To those of us who knew him intimately in the level of everyday
life, his ever loving and gentle disposition in the home was a benedic-
tion. Monroe and Sarah had walked together in understanding com-
panionship for nearly forty-seven years; together they proved them-
selves unselfish and useful to the community, until her spirit departed
this life in September, 1905. The blow was hard, but he bore it with
fortitude, continuing his lonesome way along life's path, high-minded,
honorable and just.

From a close personal acquaintance extending over a period of more
than forty years, I knew him as a man w^ho spoke in language clear
and expressive in the highest degree, always actuated by the most laud-
able motives, it impressed me that I never knew a man who really fitted
his environment more perfectly than did Monroe C. Crawford.

In his passing the world is poorer, but our heritage is the example
he has left of a life well lived and duty adequately performed. He yet
lives vividly in our affections and in our gratitude, and will so continue
until the last note of time is sounded in our own lives. His fleshly body
lies buried in Jonesboro's cemetery, but he, himself, has passed on to
other fields of life and of service.

M.W. Bro. Owen Scott :

His life was gentle; and the elements so mixed in him
that Nature might stand up and say to all the world.
This was a man. — Shakespeare.

There are moments when only dumb lips can fathom the depths of
the human heart. On that April day when the word came that Austin H.
Scrogin was no more, there were literally thousands who stood speech-
less in their uncontrollable emotions. His stalwart form gave no sug-
gestion of the secret enemy that lurked in ambush in his vital powers.
Scarcely a month had passed since he stood beside the open tomb of
the patriarch of the past grand masters, Monroe C. Crawford. There
he rendered the impressive ceremonies for the Masonic dead in such a
faultless manner that every word seemed to be the dew of love dis-
tilled from his great heart. Neither he nor those about him dreamed^
that the silent messenger would so soon call for him. At the very zenith
of his manly powers he was taken without warning.

Acting as the worshipful master of his lodge, he was accompanying
his brethren to the city of the dead to consign to the earth the body
of one of his life long friends. "While thus on the way his summons
came, the silver cord was loosed, the pitcher broken at the fountain and
his spirit went to God who gave it.

Proceedings of tlie [October 14,

It was a rare privilege to have been for many years the intimate
associate and companion of Austin H. Scrogin. Few men excelled him
in the true elements of manhood. Strong, brave, courageous — yet he was
gentle as the mother as she caresses her child.

During the war his thought was ever of the men who wore the
uniforms of their country. His patriotism knew no bounds. The fervor
with which he entered into the campaign to raise large sums of money
for the men in the field and camp, on sea and in the air was only ex-
ceeded by the loathing and disgust he felt for the slacker and secret
traitor at home.

Every fiber of his being was saturated with the true spirit of the
great fraternity which was his pride. From his first step as an entered
apprentice to his exaltation as grand master, there never was a moment
when he was not true to every precept and principle of the craft. No
man in Illinois ever knew the ritual of Masonry better, had a clearer
conception of its meaning or was more expert in its presentation. If
he erred at all (and who does not?) it was on the side of the tendereSt
consideration for the welfare of others. He did not merely do his bit —
he did his best.

Last February he made me his companion to the meeting of the
George Washington Masonic Memorial Association at Alexandria, Va.
On the 22nd, the natal day of Washington, in the pilgrimage from the
city of Washington to Mt. Vernon, Bro. Scrogin was honored by being
one of two grand masters chosen to bear the great floral wreaths placed
in the tomb by the Memorial Association. On this occasion grand mas-
ters, past grand masters and others of the most distinguished Masons
of the country gathered from every one of the forty-nine grand juris-
diction of the United States. Among these no one stood higher in the
estimation of the assembly than Austin H. Scrogin, Grand Master of
Masons of Illinois.

His administration, during the trying times of the great war, rang
true on all questions and policies. Bro. Scrogin died in the harness. He
is the only grand master in the history of Masonry in our grand lodge to
be called in the midst of his labors. His record, though cut short by the
inexorable decree of death, will ever stand as one of the best. We as
Masons not only respected and admired our departed brother but we
genuinely loved him.

As a citizen no man stood above him in Lexington, McLean County
or in Illinois. He was ready to give his time and was prodigal with
his money for every good community movement. My personal relation
to him was such, that I know of no higher compliment to pay him than
to say that he was a brother as close as though he had been of my own
blood.

1919] Grand Lodge of Illinois

We can accept the thought of James Whitcomb Eiley as he writes:

I cannot say and I will not say

That he is dead. He is just awayl
With a cheery smile, and a wave of the hand,

He has wandered into an unknown land,
And left us dreaming how very fair

It needs must be, since he lingers there.

And loyal still, as he gave the blows

Of his warrior-strength to his country's foes —

Mild and gentle as he was brave, —

When the sweetest love of his life he gave

To simple things.

Think of him still as the same, I say,
He is not dead — he is just awayl

Bro. Henry R. Rathbone :

We pause for a moment to pay a fitting tribute to the heroic dead,
to lay a wreath on the graves of those who paid the supreme sacrifice, who
gave their lives for their country in the great war. As long as we live
we shall never forget them. While memory lasts those who loved them
living will not cease to love them dead.

They responded nobly, cheerfully to the call of duty. They came from
the farm and the great city, from the factory and the field. How proud
we were of them as we bade them the last long lingering good-bye.

They were summoned by their country from the factory and from the
field, from the city and the farm. In a few months we expected to make
soldiers of them. The world said that this could not be done, that it took
years to make a trained fighting man. But we had confidence in our boys.
We knew that they would hold their own against any forces that might
be sent against them. We were confident that they would do just what
they did do — bring Old Glory home again crowned with victory.

In a few months we did what no nation had ever done or ever dreamed
of in the history of the world before. We created a merchant marine. Be-
fore the war the flag of the United States was seldom seen on any sea.
Now we have become the second, and I hope we will soon be the first,
maritime nation of the world.

We poured out the munitions of war in a flood. We raised the great-
est crops that man has ever seen. We mustered an army of millions of
men. We sent two millions of the best blood of our nation across three
thousand miles of water to fight on a foreign soil.

And our boys reached there not a minute too soon. The Germans were
sweeping towards Paris. The battle-line of the allies bent backward. The

10 Proceedings of the [October 14,

great super-cannon was shoUing the capitol of France. The French and
British were in retreat. Many threw down their arms. They were ex-
hausted by four years of terrible struggle. The cry was heard that all was
lost, that the war was over. And then the word came for the Americans
also to retreat.

But suddenly a new hope dawned and the world was electrified when
the American commander sent back the thrilling reply — "The American
army is not here to retreat."

From the moment our boys met the foe at Chateau Thierry they never
went backward. There were days of awful suffering, days of dreadful
slaughter as they toiled through the tangled mazes of the Argonne forest
or stormed across the fire-swept hills, but there was not a single hour of
retreat.

The world was astounded. Could these "raw levies," as they were
called, meet successfully in battle the trained soldiers of Europe? The
world can answer now. Our boys met there not the poorest, but the best
men that the enemy had. TTiey were matched against the famous Prussian
guards, who were said to be invincible, and our boys sent those guards
reeling backward towards Berlin in defeat. I am proud of our boys.

Our hearts were with the boys as they embarked on the vessels that
were to take them across the perilous ocean, where lurked the deadly sub-
marine, the assassin of the deep and any moment a torpedo might come
and their fate be the fate of the victims of the Lusitania. But when I
speak of the glorious achievements of the American soldier, I do not in-
tend to overlook the heroism of the marines who first stemmed the tide
of battle, of the gallant American navy, that showed itself worthy of its
splendid traditions. What a record our jackies made! Their ancestors
fought with an enemy that could be seen, but these boys in blue foiled
and conquered an enemy that could not be seen, that struck without warn-
ing. But so well did our navy guard the transports as they crossed those
three thousands miles of water, freighted with the precious lives of our
sons and brothers, that not a ship, protected by Americans, was sunk, not
a single soldier lost his life of all the two millions and more who crossed
that perilous sea.

Our hearts were with our boys as they landed, as they tramped wearily
on all the toilsome marches, as they dropped their heavy packs at last,
wrapped themselves in their blankets and lay down to sleep.

Our hearts were with them in the trenches, deep down in the earth,
fifteen or twenty feet below the ground, in the snow, in the rain, in the
mud, among the rats, among the vermin there.

Our hearts were with them when the shrill whist.le sounded, when they
sprang over the top and charged across no-man 's land amid the storm of
shot and shell.

1919] Grand Lodge of Illinois 11

Our hearts were with them as they lay in the hospitals of pain, row
upon row of cots, suffering uncomplaining the torments of wounds or the
agony of death.

Our hearts are with those heroes now, who paid the supreme sacrifice,
who laid down their lives, who sleep in that far-off land, their graves
marked only with a rude wooden cross or perhaps without a stock or stone
to mark the spot. We shall never forget these heroes. Those who loved
them living will not cease to love them dead. Their heroism is part of
the imperishable glory of their country and of all the world.

Let us always remember our heroes living and dead with hearts full
of gratitude. Let us never forget how they won the great war. Let us
see to it that no soldier or sailor of the United States shall suffer loss
because of the sacrifice he has made. Let us never forget our duty as
citizens and as patriots. Let us see to it that all the sacrifice and suffer-
ing, the blood "and tears of the great conflict shall not have been in vain.
Let us keep our country forever, what it should be, a land of justice and
liberty, the leader of the nations, the hope of the world.

REPORT OF GRAND MASTER.

The grand master, Bro. Daniel G. Fitzgerrell, presented his
annual report.

Brethren of the Grand Lodge:

The shades of the night of war have vanished. The sun of freedom
is mounting the sky. His rays are dispelling the gloom and bringing
healing for the wounds of strife and discord. True there is yet com-
motion in all lands, even our own not excepted. Strikes, lock-outs, bit-
terness and rancor still are seen. These were to be expected. They are
but the birth-pains of the new freedom secured through the blood of
battle. The tyrant has been dethroned and the people have come into
their own. Hereafter the ruler must be chiefly the servant of all. The
spirit of universal brotherhood is the solvent that is to soften the
asperities of mankind. Freemasonry is and has been pre-eminent in
bringing the gospel of peace and good will to all people. Though not
assuming to be the equal of religion, yet, it has been content to be her
handmaiden in all that goes to make man happier, woman more secure
in her queenly position in her social state, and childhood purer and
sweeter in its development.

From this attitude Masonry will continue to be a dominant force
in the restoration of the world to pre-war condition and to aid in se-

12 Proceedings of tlie [October 14,

curing that permanent peace that is so devoutly desired by the world
at large.

It is peculiarly pleasing to advise you that the craft in Illinois has
never been on a higher plane. Its growth is almost miraculous, -so much
so that some have feared that too many were gaining admission. Yet,
no one can reasonably object to permitting the beneficent influences of
our great fraternity to be extended to all good and true men. With
the safeguards of the ballot, the evil, the designing and the unfit can
be kept without our doors.

Into the Silent Land

One year ago the grand master congratulated this grand lodge that
during the preceding year the ranks of the grand and past grand officers
had not been broken. The hand that prepared that message has for-
gotten its cunning and the heart so full of love for his brethren, his
family and friends has ceased to pulsate.

Austin H. Sceogin

is no more. His life is a royal heritage to the thousands wlio knew
and admired him. On April 26, 1919, at the very crest of his man-
hood, when apparently at the full tide of his manly vigor, while per-
forming a Masonic duty in laying to rest a brother of his own lodge, he
sank down and passed away within less than one hour. This is the first
instance in the history of the grand lodge where a grand master was
called in the midst of his labors. He died literally in the harness. One
other time a grand master was compelled to leave the state on account
of his health and his place was filled by the deputy grand master, Most
Worshipful Brother Joseph Bobbins. This was in the case of Most Wor-
shipful Brother Lounsbury. In the passing of Brother Scrogin the world
is poorer and heaven richer by his transition. The Committee on Obitu-
aries will give suitable tribute to his life and services.

Monroe C. Crawford

Not content with gathering in the stalwart grand master in the midst
of his usefulness and power, the grim reaper garnered a ripened sheaf.
The dean of past grand masters, Monroe C. Crawford, was called home
on the 9th day of March, 1919, and laid to rest on March 11, Grand
Master A. H. Scrogin in charge. At the time of his death Brother Craw-
ford was the senior past grand master having served in 1S91 and 1892.
Few men have measured up to a higher standard of service in every
relation of life than Judge Crawford. As a jurist, as a citizen, as a

1919] Gra7id Lodge of Illinois 13

Mason, as a Christian gentlemen — no man exceeded him. I may be per-
mitted to refer to Brother Crawford with a peculiar feeling of pure
affection. He was almost like a father to me in the many years of our
closest and most intimate friendship. Further reference to his great
work and service will be detailed by the committee.

Disposition of War Funds

The close of the world war and the demoliilization of the military
forces of the United States call attention to the disposition of the two
funds contributed by the Masons of Illinois. The first of these was
where appeal was made for a contribution of at least one dollar per
member. The purpose for raising this money was that our brethren in
the service should not lack for necessities and comforts whether at home
or abroad. From this was raised the sum of $133,762.35. This sum has
been kept intact and has had the accumulation of interest added to it.
The question now is as to the disposition of this fund. The men in
large part have been discharged whether at home or overseas. The di-
rect purpose for which these contributions were made has ceased. What
shall be done with this money is before us. It is a well-known principle
in the laws of the land that whore trust funds are collected for a specific
aim and that fails, that they shall go to that which comes nearest the
original purpose. Just now unusual demands for money are made for
the homes. This is especially true of the Children's Home at LaGrange.
The number is such that some are now compelled to sleep in the halls
and corridors. A number of children of deceased soldiers have already
been admitted and this is just the beginning. No doubt dependent men
from the army and navy will seek admission at Sullivan. In view of
these considerations, I recommend that the sum now in the hands of
the grand treasurer, known as the "dollar fund" be placed in the grand
lodge treasury to be used especially for additional construction and
maintenance of the homes.

There is a considerable sum of money known as the National De-
fense Fund remaining in the treasury of the grand lodge. Very im-
portant activities for the relief and entertainment of the men at Camp
Grant, Fort Sheridan and Great Lakes have been carried on during the
past year under the direction of the committee heretofore provided.

It has been my privilege since assuming the office of grand master
to visit these places and to inspect the work done by those in charge.
I find the highest grade of efficiency prevailing. The men in charge
have been faithful and industrious in providing for the wants of the
soldiers at these three stations.

14 Proceedings of the [October li,

A recent visit to Camp Grant led to tlie information that most of
the men enlisted for the duration of the war have been retired from the
service and that those remaining are simply taken there for the purpose
of discharge. I recommend that the work at Camp Grant be discontinued.

The work at Waukegan near the Great Lakes Naval Station, which
is a permanent station, is placed on a rather different basis. After con-
sulting with the morale officer and other authorities at Waukegan, I
was convinced that there is still work for us to do in maintaining a club
house and other means of entertainment. I, therefore, recommend that
this be continued under the direction of the committee.

Fort Sheridan is now a permanent army hospital and the reasons
for attention on the part of Masons have been made almost entirely
unnecessary. What is necessary to do at this station can be done by
the brother who is in charge at Waukegan, under the direction of the
committee.

Too much praise can not be given the committee in charge of this
work. They have unselfishly devoted their time and energies for the
relief of the unfortunates and have invariably paid the expenses in-
cident to their duties out of their own funds. They are entitled to and
should receive a vote of thanks by this grand lodge.

Jurisdictional Complications

Serious complications have arisen regarding jurisdiction assumed by
lodges and even by one grand lodge, regarding temporary sojourn of
men in the service of their country who desire to petition lodges. The
Grand Lodge of New York has organized what they call Sea and Field
Lodges. They have assumed to take men from Illinois and without the
consent of the lodges where they reside and which have jurisdiction over
them^ and confer the degrees. They have gone so far in one case as to
notify one of the lodges that a certain man had received the three de-
grees in Masonry and that he had "automatically" become a member
of this Chicago lodge. The fact that lodges in Chicago have concurrent
jurisdiction renders it impossible for anyone to become a member of one
lodge in the city rather than in another. However, that objection is
not fundamental. Under the law of Illinois each lodge has jurisdiction
over all those who reside within its territorial limits. To divest it of
this jurisdiction it is necessary that application be made for a waiver.
This can only be granted by a unanimous ballot. Some lodges near the
army stations in Illinois have accepted petitions from those who reside
elsewhere. A man in the service at any of the military stations does
not become a resident of the place where he is temporarily located.
Hence the lodge within whose territory he lives retains its territorial

1-19] Grand Lodge of Illinois 15

jirisdiction. I have held that where petitions have been received by
Illinois lodges without waiver of jurisdiction that the action of the lodge
is void. The lodge where the man resides has not surrendered its right
unless by vote it waives jurisdiction.

Army and Navy Lodges

The question has arisen as to the right of members of the so-called
Sea and Field Lodges, authorized by the Grand Lodge of New York, to
visit in or affiliate with lodges in Illinois. If they have the necessary
documentary evidence and can prove themselves to be Masons by due
examination, I am of the opinion that they would have the right to visit
or affiliate. However, I have enjoined lodges to unusual care in testing
applicants as to their regularity. These men are not members of any
lodge in Illinois and cannot be without petition and election. In one
case a man had been elected and received the first degree in an Illinois
lodge. He received the second and third in France without the consent
of the Illinois lodge. He had had no instruction in Masonry and could
not prove himself as a Mason. I held that the lodge should ignore the
work in France and give him the second and third degrees again in the
lodge in which he received the first. This whole matter has been em-
barrassing and I have advised the Grand Lodge of New York that we
do not recognize any power or authority on their part to waive juris-
diction. Our laws must be complied with in that respect.

The Schools

By reference to the report of the grand examiners it will be found
that five state schools were held during the year in conformity with
Code 76. The results obtained prove beyond question that the schools
are not only justified as to efforts and expense incident thereto but that
they are invaluable in keeping our ritual up to its present high standard.

Declared a Vacancy

During the lifetime of the late Bro. Scrogin, E. W. Bro. Welles W.
La Moure, D. D. G. M. for the 8th District, reported that the worshipful
master of Avondale Lodge, No 921 had proven to be a defaulter in the
Chicago post office and was sent to the federal prison at Ft. Leavenworth
for 18 months. Before Bro. Scrogin had been able to make an order
in this case he passed away.

The facts coming before me, I declared the office of worshipful
master vacant as provided by law and issued a dispensation to elect a
new master. There were circumstances tending to show that the mas-

16 Proceedings of tlie [October 14,

ter was not mentally sound. In view of this I did not order chargej
preferred, thus leaving the case open for future adjustment. The ar
rangement made was entirely satisfactory to the lodge and all concerned.

Mastee Deposed

Complaint was made to me by the senior warden and secretary oE
R. F. Casey Lodge No. 948, located at Kell, Illinois, against the wor-
shipful master. The charge was made that his conduct was unbecoming
a Mason, seriously involving him in moral turpitude. His actions were
so open and flagrant in his attention to the sister of a Master Mason
that he brought disgrace upon the lodge of which he was the master. I
referred the case to the district deputy grand master. Right Worshipful
Brother David B. Robertson. Acting under my proxy he made thorough
and complete investigation and found the charge made to be true. In
fact the worshipful master admitted his improper relations and refused
to agree to change them. Under my order the district deputy deposed
him from his office and placed the lodge in charge of the senior warden.
I recommend that this be approved and that he be expelled from all
the rights and privileges of Masonry.

Charter Surrendered

The alTairs of Orient Lodge No. 323 of Lisbon, Illinois, became in
such condition that I referred the master to Right Worshipful Brother
E. E. Mull, district deputy grand master, for investigation and report.
On July l-ith he reported that he had visited the lodge on July 12th and
after a full investigation found that the lodge was dormant and that
there was no prospect of resuscitating it. Ten members were present and
after thorough explanation voted unanimously to surrender the charter.
The district deputy grand master thereupon took the charter and prop-
erty of the lodge into his possession. The same is in the hands of the
district deputy and the grand secretary to be disposed of according to
the requirements of the law. I therefore recommend that the action
of the district deputy under my instruction be approved and that the
name and number of the lodge be erased from the roll.

German-Speaking Lodges

There have come into my possession petitions addressed to the grand
lodge regarding the resumption of work in the German language. These
petitions are addressed to the officers and members of the Most Wor-
shipful Grand Lodge.

There have also been written letters to one of the past grand mas-
ters seriously attacking him for an alleged speech that he made before

1919] Grand Lodge of Illinois 17

a lodge in the city of Chicago. In these letters a spirit of insubordina-
tion and rebellion against the authority of the grand lodge is strenu-
ously exhibited. In one of these letters language reflecting seriously
upon Masonry is used. Words were employed designating certain classes
of Masons as "black hands" and "moral cowards." The writer of
these letters is evidently more a German than an American or a Mason. His
letters are so extreme that I have ordered charges preferred against him
for his willful insult to the past grand master and for defamation of Free-
masonry in general.

The petitions referred to do not come within the purview of the
Committee on Petitions, hence I have not so referred them. The use
of any other than the American language in the work and business of
our lodges has been disposed of completely by the edict of the former
grand master, Most Worshipful Brother Austin H. Scrogin. On July 10,
1918, this edict was promulgated. In this it was provided that after
August, 1918, the English language should be used exclusively by all
constituent lodges in transacting their business and keeping their rec-
ords. It was further ordered that "after the 15th day of January, 1919,
the English language only shall be used in all ritualistic work in all the
lodges of the state." This edict stands as the law of the grand lodge
at this time. Until it has been nullified by action of the grand lodge or
by an edict of a succeeding grand master it stands without further ques-
tion. Petitions of the character referred to cannot be considered by the
Committee on Petitions because the law of the grand lodge would prohibit
any action taken thereon. The grand lodge stands for work and business
in the language of America. Any persons who are so much German in
their tendencies as to feel aggrieved because the grand lodge insists on
the American language being used have the privilege of withdrawing
from the institution. The people of the United States would not object
if such persons saw fit to leave the land where they have been protected
and prospered and return to that country from which many of them
fled to escape oppression. An overwhelming percentage of those of
German birth or descent in this country are thoroughly American in
their ideas and in their language. It is only a small number -nho object
to making Masonry in this state what it must be to be true to the in-
stincts and prerogatives of the American Eepublic. This is presented,
not that any action of this body is necessary, but that the representa-
tives of the lodges of the state may know the undercurrents that are
sweeping through the office of the grand master.

Organizations Other Than Masonic
Sometime prior to my becoming grand master the question was
raised regarding the use of the name of Masonry in connection with
organizations that are not Masonic, but whose members are all of the

18 Proceedings of the [October 14,

fraternity. In some places these organizations have staged entertain-
ments such as parades and picnics which in no sense are in harmony
with the practices of Masonry. In connection with these demonstrations
they have used the name in such a way as to leave the impression that
these institutions are Masonic. This went to such an extent that the
attention of Grand Master Wheeler was called to it. He took the matter
up with the principal officer of one of these organizations and advised
him that unless the practice was discontinued he would be obliged to
issue an edict forbidding Masons being associated with or parties to
such un-Masonic demonstrations. The executive to whom he addressed
this replied very cheerfully, agreeing with the grand master and in-
structing the subordinate bodies that they should desist from using the
Masonic name in such a way as to lead the impression that these were
Masonic organizations. It is not my purpose to cast any reflection on
these outside organizations. They are no doubt valuable and within
the scope of their activities are accomplishing much good. My purpose
in calling attention to this is that Masons throughout the state may
know that if they are members of these institutions that make mem-
bership in Masonry an essential qualification for admission to their body,
that they should not prostitute the name of Masonry by using it in
connections that confer no credit upon it. The dignity and prominence
of Freemasonry are often sought to be used for the purpose of building
up and strengthening other organizations that in no sense can be classed
as Masonic. It is therefore my purpose to caution members of lodges
throughout the state to avoid any repetition of the practice condemned
and referred to herein.

George Washington Memorial

The grand master, Bro. A. H. Scrogin, attended the 9th annual meet-
ing of the George Washington Masonic National Memorial Association
held at Alexandria, Va., on February 21 and 22, 1919. P. G. M. Owen
Scott, by appointment of the grand master, accompanied him to this
meeting as a representative of this grand lodge. This was very largely
attended by grand masters and other representatives of grand lodges
throughout the United States. Of the forty-nine grand jurisdictions few
were unrepresented.

During the war little was done toward raising the memorial fund.
It was determined to proceed to raise a million dollars for the erection
of a building at Alexandria. This edifice is to house and safeguard the
relics now held by Alexandria-Washington Lodge. These are of such
priceless value as to challenge the interest of the entire Masonic world.
A great library of Masonic literature is to be accumulated as a part of
the enterprise.

1919] Grand Lodge of Illinois 19

The "Washington Monument in the capitol stands as the nation's
memorial to George Washington, the patriot and statesman. The pro-
posed memorial to be located just across the Potomac and in view of
the monument in the city of Washington is to be the tribute of the
craft throughout the United States to George Washington, the Mason.
He was the first master of the lodge at Alexandria, near which he lived
in his country place at Mt. Vernon.

During the time he was master of the lodge at Alexandria, George
Washington, acting as the grand master of Maryland, laid the corner-
stone of the nation's capital at the city of Washington.

The plan of campaign for creating this memorial fund is to appeal
to individual Masons throughout the entire country. There are to be
ten divisions, each in charge of a chairman. Illinois is placed in the
Great Lakes Division, with Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin.
Each grand lodge has a state chairman. Bro. Owen Scott was desig-
nated by our late grand master as chairman for Illinois. Further de-
tails will be developed and announced at the session of this grand lodge.

During the meeting at Alexandria the members of the Memorial
Association in a body visited Mt. Vernon. This was on February 22nd,
the natal day of the father of his country. Our beloved grand master,
Bro. Austin H. Scrogin, was accorded the distinguished honor of placing
one of the two large floral pieces on the tomb of Washington as the
tribute of American Masons to his memory. It is my desire to urge
that the Masons of Illinois as individuals contribute toward this fund.
There are now in the treasury of the association about $120,000 and it
is hoped that the remainder of this fund may be contributed before the
next meeting of the association February 22, 1920. During the session
of the grand lodge I shall confer with the district deputy grand mas-
ters regarding methods of securing our share of this fund. It is well
known that our late lamented Brother Austin H. Scrogin was deeply
interested in Illinois doing its share toward the erection of this great
memorial.

Masonic Service Association of the U. S.

At the invitation of the Most Worshipful Brother George L. Schoon-
over, grand master of Iowa, Grand Master Austin H. Scrogin attended
the conference of grand masters in Cedar Eapids, Iowa, on November
26, 27, 28, 1918. It was desired to obtain through this conference a
truly Masonic opinion on our concerted war activities in the future.
Fifty representatives were present, representing 22 grand jurisdictions.

The outcome of the conference was the formation of the Masonic
Service Association of the United States and a constitution was there
drawn up which embodied the following object:

20 Proceedings of the [October 14,

"The object of the association shall be the service of mankind
through education, enlightenment, financial relief and Masonic visitation,
particularly in times of disaster and distress, whether caused by war,
pestilence, famine, fire, tlood, earthquake, or other calamity; and pres-
ently and immediately ministering to, cherishing, comforting and re-
lieving the members of the fraternity, their dependents, and others en-
gaged in the United States forces, in the present great war, whereever
they may be stationed and upon whatever duties engaged in the service."

Not having been present at the Cedar Eapids Conference, I have
been able to gain information only from the printed proceedings of that
meeting. This is a step that requires careful consideration and pains-
taking investigation. It is proper that the Grand Lodge of Illinois
should be in touch with all movements of a general character. I would
not, however, feel that I should in any way commit this body to this
movement until the same has been properly considered and understood.
I, therefore, recommend that a special committee of three be appointed
to take up this matter and report at the next session of this grand lodge.

Conclusion

It is impossible for anyone to understand the embarrassment that
came to me in the sudden death of Brother Scrogin. Assuming that long
established custom would be followed I had looked forward to succeed-
ing him at this time. My plans were all made with that in view. His
passing away so suddenly, almost in the twinkling of an eye, brought
to me not only the great shock that came with his loss but the neces-
sity of immediately assuming the great responsibility of the office of
grand master. To say that I felt almost crushed with the blow is but
a mild expression of the truth. I took up the work where he left it
and under the greatest possible disadvantages have carried it on for the
past six months. I wish to take this opportunity to acknowledge my
appreciation of the valuable assistance rendered me by our past grand mas-
ters especially M. W, Brethren Owen Scott, Loroy A. Goddard, Alexander H.
Bell and Dclniar D. Darrah. I have consulted them frequently and in every
instance have been accorded the greatest consideration. By their advice and
the help of others to whom I applied I have been able to carry on the work
to this time. I am most conscious of the fact that I have not met all the
requirements of the great office of grand master as they should have
been and would have been met had Brother Scrogin lived to carry out
his plans. It has been my purpose so far as possible to follow the course
that he would have pursued had he lived. For these reasons I ask the
indulgence of the craft of Illinois for any mistakes or shortcomings that
may appear in my work. I have given my time and labor with all the
devotion possible and trust that the results may not prove detrimental
to the interests of Masonry in Illinois,

REPORT — Committee on Legislation.

Bro. Owen Scott chairman of the Committee on New Leg-
islation, made the following report :

To the Most Worslnpful Grand Lodge Ancient Free and Accepted Masons
of the State of Illinois:

Amendment to Code No. 243, proposed at the last meeting, provides
for the payment of four dollars per day for members of the grand lodge
instead of two dollars as fixed in the present law. Owing to the greatly
increased cost of hotel accommodations this change should be made.
We, therefore, recommend that this amendment be adopted.

Eespectfully submitted,
Owen Scott,
William Wilhartz,
Joseph J. Shaw,

The foregoing amendment to Code No. 243 having re-

REPORT — Committee on Grand Master's Annual Report.

Bro. Charles H. Spilman, chairman of the Committee on
Grand Master's Report, presented the report of that commit-
tee. On motion, it was adopted.

To the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge Ancient Free and Accepted Masons

of the State of Illinois:

When this most worshipful grand lodge was formed, eighty years
ago, the committee in charge of the preparation of the governing code

1919] Grand Lodge of Illinois 57

recommended that there should be a second in command, so that as in the
case of civic, military and business organizations, a prompt succession in
authority would be availalile in any contingency. The wisdom of this has
been demonstrated since then, for at the very first day's session of the
Illinois Grand Lodge, through stress of circumstances it was the deputy
grand master who presided, and the grand master of today appears before
you in that capacity because of the mutations of human life, and presents
not only his own executive report, but likewise the account of the unfinished
work of him whom he was so suddenly called upon to succeed.

The grand master prefaces his report with a sentiment that will echo
in all hearts, of rejoicing that the sunshine of peace illumines the land
and that coincidentally the radiance of Masonic light is spreading further
and further.

References to the illustrious dead of this jurisdiction are referred to
the Committee on Obituaries.

TTie extensive report on the important subject of the War Fund, with
the recommendations included therein, is referred to the Committee on
Finance.

The grand master has carefully analyzed and presented for consider-
ation matters of jurisdictional complications and army and navy lodges and
these are referred to the Committee on Jurisprudence.

To the Committee on Jurisprudence is likewise detailed for consider-
ation the action taken in matters involving the worshipful masters of two
lodges, and which are presented under the headings — ' ' Declared a Va-
cancy" and "Master Deposed."

The grand master's references to the state schools as reported by the
grand examiners, is cordially concurred in.

The subject of charter surrender belongs in the province of the Com-
mittee on Chartered Lodges and is thus referred.

Under the head of German-speaking Lodges recurs a subject which
has previously received consideration. The action of the grand master
thoroughly reflects the sentiment of this grand lodge, and effectually dis-
poses of the matter.

Masonic contacts with organizations other than Masonic are clearly
defined by the grand master upon recurrence of this question, and his
position is approved by your committee.

The grand master gives suitable attention to the subject of the George
Washington Memorial Fund, in which his predecessor was greatly interested,
and acquaints the grand lodge with the course which he shall follow in
future attention to the subject.

The grand master suggests the reference to consideration by the grand
lodge of the subject of the Masonic Service Association of the United
States, and this course is recommended as indicated.

58 Proceedings of the [October 14,

TTiero has also been referred to your committee and considered care-
fully by the latter a considerable amount of detail, concerning the steward-
ship of the grand master in a strictly executive capacity — the laying of
cornerstones, dedication of buildings, institution of lodges, filling vacan-
cies, making appointments and accounting on dispensations and fees.
These points indicate the splendid growth of the institution. The various
calls have all been answered promptly and fully by the grand master, and
the respective actions taken are hereby approved. Approval is likewise
given to all the matters reported as of the personal administration of the
late Grand Master Serogin, which are incorporated as supplementary to
the present grand master 's report.

Without warning the greatest responsibility that Masonic duties in
the jurisdiction of Illinois can impose came suddenly upon Most Worshipful
Brother Daniel G. Fitzgerrell. It is a matter of distinct pride and satis-
faction to the craft that without wavering but with a full realization of
their gravity he took up those duties, and has administered them conscien-
tiously and in accordance with Masonic usage and custom. His hand did
not falter as it took up the gavel so suddenly stricken from the grasp
of his predecessor, and it is with appreciation of how much this has meant
to the craft of Illinois, that your committee closes its report by commend-
ing in the highest possible terms the splendid work of the grand master.

Fraternally submitted,

the minutes of the meeting of May 23rd, 1919, and same subsequent meet-
ings, were added to by the secretary who inserted therein the dates of the
election, initiation, passing and raising of the petitioners" thereby violating
section 341 of the Code.

1919] Grand Lodge of Illinois 71

This is a case of the secretary failing to avail himself of the valuable
information provided in the Blue Book and of the failure of the district
deputy grand master to assist the new and inexperienced secretary in re-
cording the proceedings of the lodge.

We, therefore, recommend that the dispensation be continued and that
a charter as Drexel Lodge No. 1031 be placed in the hands ;of the most
worshipful grand master to be delivered to the lodge at such time as, in
his judgment, the records show that they are being kept in accordance
with the requirements of the Grand Lodge By-Laws.

REPORT — Committee on Libraries.

Bro. Charles W. Waldtick, chairman, presented the report
of the Committee on Libraries. It was adopted.

To the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge Ancient Free and Accepted Masons
of the State of Illinois:

Your Committee on Libraries submits the following report:

Balance on hand, October 1st, 1918 $ 26.11

Amount drawn from Entertainment Fund 74.45

Total $100.56

Expenditures for newspapers and books 100.56

Balance on hand September 30, 1919 $000.00

72 Proceedings of the [October 14,

It will be seen, therefore, that the Library Fund is entirely exhausted,
and your committee fraternally recommends that an appropriation of
$500.00 be made and set aside for this fund, this portion of the report to
be referred to the Committee of Finance.

We are pleased to report that liberal donations in books have been
made to the Home in LaGrange, for which we desire to extend thanks;
but in order to maintain the splendid tabulation and index system now
used in this library, an additional supply of sectional book cases is needed
and must be furnished.

The supply of magazines such as ' ' Saturday Evening Post, " " Col-
liers, " " Puck, " " Life, ' ' and other leading periodicals for the ' ' Home ' '
in Sullivan and which are always very much enjoyed by the older folks,
has not been adequate, and need replenishing.

Donations of books and other library supplies will, therefore, be
gladly accepted, and in addition if any of the brethren desire to make
financial contributions they will be very much appreciated, said contribution
to be applied solely to the Library Fund.

An encouragement of a love for good books and literature, in both
young and old, is a praiseworthy undertaking, and should not be neglected.

Fraternally submitted,

REPORT — Committee on National Defense.

The Committee on National Defense presented their re-
port. The report and recommendations were adopted.

To the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge Ancient Free and Accepted Masons

of the State of Illinois:

In taking up the National Defense work, the committee appointed
at the last session of the grand lodge has endeavored to carry on the
work so ably started hy the previous conmiittee. The members have studied,
and believe they understand the purpose for which the money was raised,
and have made every effort to expend it in accordance therewith.

The committee, as well as the Masonic Fraternity sustained a severe
loss in the sudden death of Brother Nelson N. Lampert on October 30, 1918.
Brother Lampert was a man of wide business activities and his advice
and counsel were of great value in the doings of our committee. Brother
Robert C. Fle'^cher was appointed to the place made vacant by the death
of Brother Lampert.

Little need be said with reference to the Home Oflice, or the individual
members of the committee. The administrative expenses have been held
down to a minimum, there being no rent to pay, and the interest on the
bank balances of the fund have about sufficed to pay salaries of stenog-
rapher and bookkeeper, telephone, postage and stationery.

The committee desires to express its gratitude to Brother Robert C.
Fletcher, one of its members, for his professional work in superintending
the equipment of the Soldiers and Sailors Club at Waukegan.

76 Proceedings of the [October 15,

When this committee first undertook the task delegated to it by the
most worshipful grand master, our attention was first focused on that won-
derful center of intense patriotic activity so near our very doors, the
Naval Training Station at Great Lakes. We were fortunate indeed, thanks
To the efforts of the committee of the previous year, in having as our
our representative Brother Leroy Hill, past master of Waukegan Lodge,
a man of sterling worth, of great heart and understanding, and of tireless
energy. Brother Hill studied the men at the Naval Training Station and
the conditions under which they lived, and very wisely concluded that
when "Jack was ashore" was the time when he most needed the hand
of good fellowship, a comfortable, clean homolike place where he could
drop in for an hour or so, write a letter, read a good book, and meet
on the level of equality among respectable surroundings, boys of the
same tyj^e of young American manhood as himself. What they needed
was a place where they could go without fee or price and know that they
were welcome; where they could bring their loved ones for a visit, and
where they could come for comfort, aid and advise in time of trouble.

All these things Brother Hill saw when he studied the boys and the
station life at Great Lakes. The station had its usual complement of
welfare organizations and welfare workers, but none of them supplied
just what your committee thought was needed, accordingly the plans for
the formation of a Masonic Club or headquarters were evolved. A build-
ing was secured at No. 130 East Washington Street, right in the heart
of Waukegan, the nearest port to the Training Station and the head-
quarters of the vast majority of the boys of the station when on leave.
This building consisted of two floors and a basement and was remodeled
and decorated to suit our purposes.

The lower floor was furnished for a lounging, reading and writing
room where books, newspapers and late periodicals are to be found at
all times. A piano and phonograph make this room a very popular one
with the boys. In the rear is located the office where Brother Hill or
his assistant are to be found at all times.

To Brother Edward Sayles of Waukegan fell the task of keeping
the quarters in good shape, and in many other ways he has been of inesti-
mable assistance to Brother Hill. Knowing the town and the people,
and also having an understanding of the sailor boy and his needs. Brother
Sayles acted as a general information bureau; he kept a list of the hotels,
rooms and restaurants, answered questions as to train times and aided
the boys or their friends or relatives in many little things which to a
stranger are usually so perplexing.

The second floor is furnished very comfortably as a reception room,
and facilities are provided for a ladies' retiring room. This room also
provides a place which is Jarge enough and secure enough for Masouie

SAILORS AND SOLDIERS CLUB. WAUKEGAN

instruction, and the meetings of the Anchor & Ark Club are held here.
It is no unusual sight to see the large room on the first floor filled to
capacity with hapjjy contented boys, — here a group playing chess or crib-
bage, and others reading good literature or writing to the folks at home.

The social life of the soldiers was not overlooked as a perusal of the
Anchor & Ark Club's records shows that since March, 1919, fifteen dances
and three picnics have been held under the auspices of the club, and seven-
teen parties or meetings, at which Masonic soldiers or sailors only were
admitted. A glance at the attendance record shows that 1700 men in uni-
form have attended the club meetings, and 5500 more have been entertained
at the dances and picnics.

On the floor above may be found one of the boys visiting with his
wife and baby, his mother and father or sweetheart. In the basement
you might walk into the wash room and see half a dozen splendid young
feJlows at the toilet that makes Uncle Sam's sailors such models of clean-
liness.

The register shows that since the opening of this building over 30,000
men have availed themselves of the hospitality of the fraternity, 12,000
sheets of Masonic stationery have been issued gratis, and on each Wednes-
day and Saturday, the usual "shore-leave" days when the men flock into
town to spend the afternoon or evening, a light luncheon has been served.
The boys have all come to know that irrespective of creed, religion or
fraternal affiliations, the Masonic Soldiers & Sailors Club is a place where
they are always welcome. So much for the care that was taken of our
boys while away from the station.

Let us now turn our attention to the work aceomplifched in the station
itself among the boys who could not get away from their duties, to
the lads on the little white cots in the sick-bays and hospitals, to the boys
who through ignorance of regulations or some unintentional breach of
discipline were denied the privilege of a pass to town.

At the commencement of our welfare work at the Naval Station,
Brother Hill established himself on terms of friendly co-operation with
the officers in command of the various departments; he explained to thoni
the aim and purpose of the committee; they saw that our plans were
for the good of the men and he v^as given an unrestricted pass to all
departments of the station. He made daily visits throughout the station
searching out the boys in trouble, whom he advised and cousoled. He wrote
letters homo to anxious parents and sat by the bedside of the sick boy
in the hospital.

Unlike the Army where the personnel is composed of men 21 years
of age or over, the Navy, or to be more cxjilicit, the Naval Training
Schools, had a high percentage of mere boys, 17, 18 and 19 years of age,

78 Proceedings of the [October 15,

many of whom were sons of Masons, who had never been away from
home influences; naturally that disease for which medicine is no cure, the
disease of homesickness was prevalent. Brother Hill took these lads in
hand and mothered and fathered them, in some cases obtaining their
discharge, in others securing furloughs to enable them to visit their
homes, and in every way tried to cheer them up and show them that they
were really men in the truest sense of the word and were playing in real
earnest the most stern and manly game in the world — the game of war.

The work of the committee as exemplified in the labors of Brother
Hill and his assistants has met and is meeting with approval as is shown
by the numerous letters of commendation and gratitude which have come
in from all parts of the country from the boys themselves, fathers and
mothers, friends and relatives, masters and secretaries of lodges, and from
officers in charge of the men who are in a position to see and judge what
a potent factor for good the work of the Masonic Fraternity has been.

The work at Camp Grant has been carried on along somewhat different
lines. Starting later than the work at Great Lakes the social end was
fairly well taken care of before the advent of our representative. Camp
Grant possessed the advantage of being located just six miles from Eock-
ford, a city of 75,000 inhabitants and supporting three flourishing Masonic
lodges and a full complement of dependent and co-ordinate bodies. Before
the committee took hold of the work at this camp, the Masonic interests
among the soldiers were looked after by a number of volunteer workers
from among the Eockford brethren who had the interest of the craft
at heart. However, no organized effort was made until Brother Lyman
M. Greenman of Quincy, Illinois, was sent down as the representative of
the Committee on National Defense. Brother Greenman is a man of ex-
cellent Masonic training and of winning personality and under his man-
agement the work of the committee took root and flourished and began to
show results. In May, 1919, Brother Greenman was called to other fields
of endeavor and the committee selected Dr. Sherman S. Knox, past master
of Perseverance Lodge No. 973, A. F. & A. M. of Chicago, as its repre-
sentative to continue the work. Brother Knox has an excellent knowledge
of Masonic work, and for two years previous to his assuming the duties
of representative for this committee, was in charge of the Eegimental
Hospital at Camp Grant, consequently knew conditions and needs and had
a thorough knowledge of the camp and its officers, as well as a large
acquaintance among the Masons of Eockford, and was able to step in
and continue the work of the committee without any hitch or loss of time.
The work that is being done at Camp Grant lies more particularly in
the camp than that at the Great Lakes Station. Our representative in his
report has outlined his work as follows:

1919] Grand Lodge of Illinois 79

1. Among the sic-k and injured patients at the Base Hospital.

2. Among the returned convalescent overseas sol'iiers at the Becon-
stmction and Educational Hospitals.

3. Among the troops at large throughout the camp.

4. Between the Committee on National Defense and similar organ-
izations of other grand jurisdictions, and the relatives and friends of the
soldiers of this camp.

In the work at the Base Hospital it is the endeavor of Brother EZnox

to call in the different wards and ascertain who the sick Masons are, and
by personal contact trv to cheer them up and aid them in recovery; also
to inquire into their condition, whether thev are in need of anything
and are receiving proper care anl treatment, and if not to try to remedy
such conditions. Writing letters and keeping the man in touch with his
home, forms an important phase of the work here, as the average soldier
is prone to neglect this with the result that those at home are unneces-
sarily kept in a more or less state of anxiety and stispense.

The Eeconstruction Hospital for wounded or injured soldiers pro-
vides an interesting field in which the committee has done splendid work,
in fact, we are the only organization which has given this important
department any attention. Men who were injured overseas are sent to
this hospital for convalescence, and during such period are taught various
occupations and trades, with a view not only of fitting them for their
changed con<iition on their return to civil life, but with the purpose of
keeping their minds off their condition and by judicious exercise and occu-
pation aid them to regain, in part, many of the functions they have lost,
or by teaching them new things that their physical condition will permit
them to do. In other words the aim of this department is to prove to
the man that no matter what his infirmity is he can still be of some use
in the world, thereby we are sending the man out into civil life imbued
with the idea that he will not be a charge on the community, his lodge
or his relatives, and that he still has a place in the world to fill, con-
sequently men are being rettirned to civil life as good citizens and
discontent finds no place in their minds.

This department has been in charge of Lieutenant-Colonel Wallace H.
Whigam, a member of Cleveland Lodge Xo. 211, A. F. & A. M. of
Chicago; this work has covered a large field. There are four large
buildings and several small ones in which bookkeeping, stenography,
telegraphy, wireless telegraphy, chemistry, scientific fanning, illustrating
and cartooning, modeling and designing, basket weaving, art metal and
leather work, automobile repair work, moving picture operating and
many other lines of work have been taught. A man may enter this
department, who, previous to the war was a skilled mechanic; perhaps
he has lost a hand or has some other injury which would make it im-
possible for him to return to his ante-bellum occupation; the outlook

80 Proceedings of the [October 15,

for Lim is very dark aud he can see nothing ahead of him but an
existence, of dependency. This department shows him that he can do
something else equally as well, and perhaps sends him back to civil life
as a bookkeeper, a telegrapher, or in some capacity in which he can
make an honest living and hold his head up as a useful citizen. The
Committee on National Defense has appropriated money to help carry
this work along; we have bought books, magazines, phonographs, rec-
ords and music to keep the men cheered up. The buildings which were
only bare shacks, and for the decoration of which the government had
made no provision, have, through expenditures by the committee, been
made cheerful and homelike by curtains, matting for the floors, and a
few plants. The officials are well pleased w-ith the work we have done
here and the apparent results are more than gratifying. In the past
two months most of this work has been transferred to the General
Hospital at Fort Sheridan and our representative at that place is con-
tinuing along the same lines as laid down by Brother Knox.

Among the troops at large is where the actual work that touches
the lodge takes place. It is the purpose of this committee to try to
keep the Masonic soldier in touch with the lodge, and by so doing keep
him mindful of the Masonic teachings which makes him a better soldier
and a better citizen. The masters and officers of the lodges of Eockford
are co-operating splendidly with the committee in providing entertain-
ment, etc., for the Masonic soldiers, and the attendance at the various
meetings is very gratifying.

Masonry, as you know, has had a wonderful stimulus in this war
and thousands of boys in the service have taken, and are taking their
Masonic degrees. This camp is no exception and at every meeting boys
are elected to receive the degrees in Eockford lodges. There has been
some complaint among the masters and officers of some of the lodges,
also among some of the older Masons, that because of conditions of
barrack life it has teen very hard to secure the projjcr kind of post-
ing for these men, due in part to the difficulty in securing proper and
secure places for Masonic instruction, and to the difficulty in finding
enough men competent to instruct in the work at times when the soldier
was able to come for such instruction. Brother Knox conducted daily
posting classes in his quarters at Camp, and the masters of the various
lodges have taken advantage of this and sent their men there for in-
struction. The results were soon apparent and we have turned out
Masons who not only are proficient in the wording of the ritual, but
in a proper understanding of it as well.

Another phase of the work under this heading is the relationship
between the Masonic soldier and his officers or his work. Men come
to our representative with tales of woe as to bad treatment from this or

1919] Grand Lodge of lUinois 81

that officer, or with expressed dissatisfaction with this or that duty. In the
majority of cases, or we might say in nearly all of them, the dissatis-
faction, is unfounded and is due to a misunderstanding on the part of
the men or to ignorance of the duties involved. Having been a soldier
himself it is very easy for Brother Knox to point out to the aggrieved
brother wherein he is wrong, or should he happen to be in the right,
to see that his complaint receives consideration.

As stated before, many men have taken their Masonic degrees
while in the service. We regret to say that many of them not only
are improperly posted and so far as the knowledge of Masonry is con-
cerned know little or nothing outside of the mere story of the work
which they have gone through. It has been our representative's priv-
ilege to set them right on many points of Masonic law, and to advise
them as to their actions in relationship to themselves and to their lodges.

Regarding the relationship between the committee and similar organ-
izations of other grand jurisdictions, masters of individual lodges and
relatives and friends of soldiers at camp, will state briefly:

In a community like Camp Grant we have had thousands of Masons
coming from lodges from every part of this state and from other
grand jurisdictions from all over the world. Should a man be sick or
injured naturally his lodge would like to stand back of him should
any assistance be required; Brother Knox has a file of correspondence
from lodges all over the country. When he receives a communication
asking for information in regard to this or that brother, he tries to locate
this brother, ascertain his condition and needs, communicate with the
party or lodge making the inquiry and carry out their wishes in regard
to relief, etc. This condition also prevails at Great Lakes and Fort
Sheridan. It is the purpose of the committee in this respect to keep the
individual Mason in touch with his lodge, and to show him that Ma-
sonry has a regard for his welfare. The work of the National Defense
Committee and its representative at Camp Grant has met with the
warmest approval and heartiest co-operation on the part of the highest
oi5ficials at the camp who say that our work has been of inestimable
worth in upholding the morale of the men.

Our work as conducted at Camp Grant and Great Lakes is different
from that of any of the so-called welfare organizations, such as the
Y. M. C. A., K. C, Jewish Welfare Board, etc. We do not aim to
coddle the soldier or to provide extravagant entertainment or amuse-
ment for him; our work is of a practical nature; where relief is neces-
sary we aim to give it; where advice is necessary we give it to the
best of our ability. We do not spend large sums of money for enter-
tainment or publicity, but where such an expenditure is necessary we

82 Proceedings of the [October 15,

spend as the occasion requires. Our whole endeavor is to be of practical
benefit to our boys in a quiet but efficient way and thus show him that
the Masonic Fraternity is back of its members. Our representatives at
Camp Grant and Great Lakes have been supplied with automobiles.

About August 1st a large number of certain kinds of cases were
removed from the Base Hospital at Camp Grant, to the General Hospital
at Fort Sheridan for convenience of treatment. Before this time Brother
Hill of the Great Lakes Station had exercised a general supervision
over this post. With the advent of the new cases, and the general
enlargement of the hospital at Fort Sheridan and its greater scope of
work, it was deemed advisable to have a representative of the com-
mittee on the ground at all times, accordingly Brother George Albrecht,
W. M., of Anchor & Ark Lodge, who had done such meritorius work
as assistant to Brother Hill, was appointed as representative; he found
among the 3600 patients, and among the officers and enlisted men of
the medical department, several hundred Masons; there was compiled
a card index system listing the names, lodge and number, location, and
more or less personal data concerning each Masonic patient and atten-
dant. Quarters have been secured in the hospital area where meetings
for Masonic instruction, fellowship and social intercourse can be had,
and Brother Albrecht has written letters to the homes and to the lodges
of bed-ridden brethren advising them of the patient's condition, has
visited the wards, arranged parties to attend nearby lodge meetings and
Masonic affairs, taking on one occasion as high as fifty men with him.
He has arranged little affairs for the amusement of the patients, and
on one occasion secured the great band of Aryan Grotto to come from
Chicago and play for the invalid soldiers. We are trying to impress
the patients that we are there for the purpose of making their stay in
the hospital more pleasant and that the great fraternity which we
represent, and to which we are privileged to belong, has not forgotten
the boys who have "paid the price" for their glorious country.

In connection with the work at Fort Sheridan it developed that one
of the most important items was the securing of employment for men
as they were discharged from the Fort, and thanks to the very efficient
co-operation of Brother Arthur M. Millard of the Masonic Employment
Bureau, and Brother David E. Gibson, a great many positions were se-
cured for the men.

The club rooms at Eantoul have been ably managed by Brother
Glenn Robinson, district deputy grand master of the Forty-seventh Dis-
trict, and great good has been accomplished for the morale of the men
at Chanute Field. In March this work was discontinued as demobiliza-
tion was practically completed at the Field.

Recommendations

,1. We recommend that inasmuch as the Soldiers & Sailors Club at
Waukegan, Illinois, has been of such great value and benefit during the
past year, and inasmuch as the work is of a kind that in our judgment
should not be discontinued, that the Soldiers & Sailors Club of the Grand
Lodge of Illinois be continued at least until the next meeting of the grand
lodge.

2. That the ^york at Camp Grant be discontinued.

3. That the work at Great Lakes and Ft. Sheridan, as well as the
supervision of the affairs of the Sailors & Soldiers Club at Waukegan, be
placed in charge of Bro. Leroy Hill.

4. That the Ford automobile, formerly used for welfare work at
Camp Grant, be turned over to the Board of Managers for Masonic Homes.

INTRODUCTION.

M. W. Brother George L. Schoonover, past grand master
of the Grand Lodge of Iowa, was introduced by the grand
master, and addressed the grand lodge.

THE MASONIC ORPHANS' HOME

The grand lodge was called off for a short time to listen
to several selections by the band from the Orphans' Home at
La Grange. Five young ladies, members of the band, sang a
beautiful selection. The program was under the direction of
Bro. T. K. Davidson, band master, and was enthusiastically
received.

Bro. Geo. L. Hilliker, superintendent, was introduced, and
invited the representatives of the grand lodge to visit the
Home.

REPORT — Board of Managers of Masonic Homes.

Bro. Robert J. Daly, president of the Board of Managers
of the Masonic Homes, presented their report. So much of
the report as related to appropriations was referred to the
Committee on Finance. The remainder of the report was
adopted.

To the Most WorsMpful Grand Lodge Ancient Free and Accented Masons
of the State of Illinois:

Your Board of Managers in charge of the Illinois Masonic Homes
fraternally submits the following report of its doings for the year ending
September 30th, 1919.

The year has been a more than usually eventful one, vvith many happy
occurrences and but few to cause regret. Our homes have fulfilled their
respective places and objects in our great fraternity.

At the first meeting of the board held October 10th, 1918, immediately
following the last annual meeting of the most worshipful grand lodge,

96 Proceedings of the [October 15,

Brethren Price and Davis who had been reapj)ointed by the grand master
to succeed themselves as members of the board, qualified by their accept-
ance, and thereupon the board effected its official organization as follows:

Eobert J. Daly, President.

Louis L. Emmerson, Vice President.

Charles C. Davis, Treasurer.

William D. Price, Secretary.

The executive committees in charge of the homes were reappointed —
Brethren Emmerson, Doherty and Davis for the home at Sullivan and
Brethren Fletcher, Price and Daly for the home at La Grange. Bro. Wm.
A. Dixon was continued as superintendent at Sullivan and Bro. and Mrs.
Geo. L. Hilliker as superintendent and matron of the home at La Grange.
By action of the board, Bro. J. F. Lawson, M.D., was reappointed physician
to the home at Sullivan and Bro. Arthur "E. Higgins, physician, to the
home at La Grange.

Official Bonds

Immediately following the re-election of Bro. Davis as treasurer of
your Board of Managers, he filed a surety bond of twenty thousand dollars
($20,000.00) for the faithful performance of his duties. In like manner
Brethren Dixon and Hilliker each filed bonds of five thousand dollars
($5,000.00) for the faithful performance of their duties.

The board has held four called meetings during the year.

During the intervals between board meetings, the executive committees
have attended to all the details of administration and supervision of affairs
pertaining to the operation of the homes. The superintendents have made
comprehensive reports of the doings of the homes which reports are ap-
pended hereto and to which your careful consideration is invited.

The Orphans' Home at LaGrange

Within a few days after the appearance of our happy band of children
at the last meeting of the grand lodge the home was invaded by that
dreaded disease, influenza, which brought sorrow to so many of our homes,
and seventy-six of our children were stricken. While we most deeply regret
losing one of their number, Lewis Smith, who was called to that better
home on high, we thank the beneficent Father of us all that our loss was
not greater.

The greater part of our employees also contracted the disease but hap-
pily all recovered.

TTie working organization of the home was seriously crippled and this
in addition to the great difficulty in securing nursing help made the opera-
tion of the home a strenuous matter. Words are wholly inadequate to

express the measure of the debt of appreciation and gratitude due to Bro.
and Mrs. Hilliker, Dr. Higgins and Mrs. McWilliams, and everyone con-
nected with the home for their loyalty and devotion in these, the darkest
hours our institution has ever experienced.

Our sincere thanks are also due and are hereby extended to Bro. Ealph
H. Wheeler, M.D. past grand master, and Bro. Arthur J, Behrendt, M.D.,
;for their assistance in securing nurses during the epidemic.

In our report of last year reference was made to the constantly in-
creasing cost of all things needed for the maintenance and upkeep of the
homes. This is still the condition of affairs and although the greatest care
has been exercised in our purchases and strict economy has prevailed your
board found it necessary to appeal to the grand master for additional funds
as the maintenance appropriations made at the last meeting of the grand
lodge were found to be insufficient.

For instance, a comparative statement shows that at the LaGrange
Home, the average daily membership in 1916 was 88 while in 1919 it has
been 117, an increase of 33%. The following statement of prices will give
you the idea of the part played in the cost of maintenance by the increase
in the purchase price of necessities.

An increase of 89% between the years of 1916 and 1919 inclusive and
an increase of 15% over 1918 for the first six months of 1919.

It is therefore very easy to understand why the grand master with the
concurrence of the Finance Committee, authorized special appropriations of
$10,000.00 for maintenance at Sullivan and $2,000.00 for maintenance at
La Grange.

At the last meeting of the grand lodge an appropriation was made of
$26,000.00 for maintenance, $3,000.00 for coal and $1,000.00 for manual
training and domestic science, which, with the additional appropriation of
$2,000.00 for maintenance, makes a total of $32,000.00 appropriated for
the La Grange home for the year 1918-19. Of this amount an unexpended
balance of $52.95 has been returned to the grand secretary.

Special Coal Fund.

Last year an appropriation of $3,000.00 was made for the purchase
of our 1919-20 coal supply. Of this amount there is an unexpended bal-
ance of $2,198.86, as we have made contracts for coal as yet undelivered;
we request that this amount be left in the hands of our treasurer to meet
those obligations.

For the coming year of 1919-20, your board requests for all of the
above purposes an appropriation of $37,000.00.

The conditions of life consequent to war and epidemic have greatly
increased the number of applications for admission to the LaGrange home.
As hereinbefore stated, our membership has greatly increased. The home
had on September 30, 1919, 126 members. To accommodate this number
15 beds have to be placed in the corridors. In addition to the physical
discomfort caused by such arrangements, a perilous potential condition is
always present owing to the fear of a recurring epidemic. We have appli-
cations for the admission of twenty children whom we are absolutely unable
to receive.

To enable the home to properly care for these applicants and meet
the demands, for growth which will inevitably come upon us, your com-
mittee believes that a dormitory for small boys should be erected at the
north end of the present building and one for girls at the south end, both
to conform in general style with the present building. The present heating
plant is nearing the end of its usefulness and would be totally inadequate
to take care of additional buildings. Tlie space at present occupied by the

1919] Grand Lodge of Illinois 99

Jaimdry is also insufSficient for the purpose. Your committee believes that
a separate building should be erected sufficiently large to accommodate the
heating plant and laundry and to also jDrovide proper space for the depart-
ments of manual training and domestic science.

For the above purposes we recommend that an ajipropriatiou of $135,-
000.00 be made.

Sullivan Home and Hospital
Appropriations

The appropriation for the general maintenance of the home made by
the grand lodge in 1918 was $50,000 with an additional one of $5,000 for .
coal. Early in the year it became apparent that it was not possible to
conduct the affairs of the home, no matter how economically, within this
amount. The cost of food, clothing, in fact, everything used by the home,
including all kinds of service, had increased to such an extent that this
appropriation, which was the same as that made in 1917, was insufficient.
The attention of the most worshipful grand master was called to this con-
dition. After consultation with the Finance Committee of the grand lodge
an emergency appropriation of $10,000 was granted the home and this
enabled us to properly care for conditions and we have closed the year
with an unexpended balance of $791.88, which has been returned to the
grand secretary.

In order that a sufficient tonnage of coal might be stored at the home
for the winter of 1919-1920, the last grand lodge followed the precedent
established in 1917 and appropriated $5,000 for this purpose. Of this
amount there is an unexpended balance of $275.37 which your committee
recommends be left in the hands of the board to pay for coal at present
in transit. •

Fuel

Coal for the Sullivan Home is at this time costing $3.47 per ton
F. O. B. track Sullivan and $ .75 for hauling, making a total cost of $4.22
per ton in the bins. At this time something like 300 tons are in storage and
this quantity will be increased to 500 tons before cold weather sets in.

Painting and Eepairs

The appropriation of $2,500 made the last year for painting and re-
pairs has enabled the manugoment to properly care for all the outside
woodwork by giving the same two coats of paint; to redecorate the first
floors of the hospital and original building, a portion of the Administration
Building and to paint all of the smaller outbuildings.

100 Proceedings of the [October 15,

Water

The water supply at the home, which has been a perplexing problem
for many years, has finally been solved by the construction of a reservoir
with a capacity of about 2,500,000 gallons. This reservoir when filled has
a depth of ten and one-half feet of water, and during the past few months,
which have been unusually dry, has proven adequate for ali the uses of the
home. This water is used for steam, laundry and sprinkling, the drinking
water being furnished by the wells, which have heretofore been the total
source of supply for all uses.

The construction of this reservoir, including the concrete dam and
bridge and the necessary pipe connections, was $6,263.52. For this pur-
pose the grand lodge made a special appropriation last year of $3,000. To
this was added a gift from the Grand Chapter E. A. M. of $2,000. The
balance, $1,263.52, was paid from the general maintenance fund of the
institution.

EoYAL Arch Memorial Hospital

The cost of maintaining the hospital for the past year has been as
follows:

Provisions $ 8,585.43

Furnishings 571.90

Medical expense, including doctors, nurses and

help salaries 4,907.82

Launilry 557.46

Light, heat and power 2,588.18

Total . . . . , $17,210.79

The hospital at this time has 38 patients, this being about the average
number for the past year. The cost of operation has not increased over
that of last year as much as might have been expected.

The hospital continues one of the most important factors in the oper-
ation of the home and there is no expenditure in connection with the home
that brings more gratifying results.

The miscellaneous improvements at the home during the year, in ad-
dition to the reservoir, painting and general repairs, have been a large
storage coal bin with a capacity of 240 tons, which will be adequate for
the bulk of the coal necessary to be stored during the fall season; many
rods of splendid fencing have been erected; the barn at the old Miller
home moved to the south side of the road and almost completely rebuilt
with good concrete foundation and concrete floor; fence rows on the farm
cleaned out; the large barn and crib on the Swain farm completed, much
dead timber cut and a general improvement made in an effort to bring
this land into a more profitable condition.

191^] Grand Lodge of Illinois 101

For all of the above purposes, maintenance, coal, repairs and improve-
ments of all kinds, your committee recommends that an appropriation be
made for the year 1919-1920 of $70,000.

State Eoad

In 1916 an appropriation of $1,500 was made to assist the authorities
of Moultrie County in the completion of the hard road and erection of a
new concrete bridge across Jonathon Creek. This amount was reappropri-
ated in 1917 and 1918 because of inability on the part of the authorities
to begin the road. In 1918, in an effort to expedite matters, the Executive
Committee of the Home p.laced this money in escrow in the First National
Bank at Sullivan, under an agreement with the county and township au-
thorities that in the event the road and bridge were not completed by
June, 1919, the money was to be returned to the Board of Managers. Con-
ditions have been such that the work has not been started and the money
has been turned back to the board by the First National Bank and is now
in their hands.

Your board requests that this amount be left in their hands to be
expended for maintenance and repairs of the highway leading from the
home to the city of Sullivan.

Farm

While the net results in dollars and cents from the operation of the
farm have been only fairly satisfactory yet the physical condition of the
property has never been better than at the present time.

Detailed information on the farm will be found in the superintendent's
report.

Gakden

The garden has produced small fruits and vegetables for the use of
the home during the year to the value of $4,092.68. Strawberries, black-
berries, red and black raspberries and gooseberries have been very plenti-
ful in season. Two years ago five hundred new grape vines were planted
immediately north of the hospital and these should commence to bear next
year. The potato crop was an almost complete failure, although early in
the season the prospect was very good. Tlie continued dry weather of sev-
eral weeks during the summer completely ruined this crop.

One of the serious problems of the past year has been that of help,
both male and female. It has been found necessary to increase our wage
roll materially in every instance and even at the larger salaries satisfactory
help has been very difficult to obtain. At this time, however, the home is
well equipped in this line and every effort is being made by the manage-
ment to keep the employees satisfied and interested in their work.

102 Proceedings of tJie [October 15,

In February of this year Dr. W. A. Dixon, who had served the home
faithfully and well, as superinteudeut, desiring to resume the practice of
his profession, tendered his resignation and Bro. James B. Smith of Clay
City was appointed to fill the vacancy. Bro. Smith has had much expe-
rience in institutional work and the management believes he will be of very
great value to the home organization.

Much difference of opinion exists among the members of the home at
Sullivan concerning the question of giving a helping hand in the domestic
work of the home. Excerpts from previous reports of the Board of Mana-
gers have been quoted in defense of their position by members who object
to giving help and who insist that no labor of any kind or character should
be performed by members of the home.

We consider this an especially opportune time to call the attention of
the members of the constituent lodges and especially the masters and secre-
taries of their lodges to the fact that each member of the home agrees,
over his or her signature, in the application of the lodge for admission of
such member, to perform such duties as the superintendent deems within
his or her ability. This is eminently right and proper if considered from
no other viewpoint than that of the physical and mental welfare of the
members; and in times like the present, when good paid help is increas-
ingly diflScult to obtain, the aggregate of the little that is asked of the
members is an important item in the administrative expense of an institu-
tion like the home at Sullivan.

The board has definitely adopted the policy of requiring such help

ORATION.

Bro. Edward J. Brimdage delivered the annual oration. A
rising vote of thanks was given the grand orator, and it was
ordered printed in the proceedings.

To the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge Ancient Free and Accepted Masons

of the State of Illinois:

I assure you it is a great pleasure to meet with you today. I recall
your interesting session a year ago. At that time the great world-wide

l-^i!>] Grand Lodge of Illinois 111

war was coming to a close, — it could be seen in the rapid retreat of the
enemy. Few realized at that time that peace was to bring the problems
which now confront us.

The relaxation from the terrible intensencss of warfare, the letting
down of nerves keyed to the highest pitch reacts recklessly upon the hu-
man mind. A swift return of mind and body to a normal, orderly course
is not readily accomplished.

The world-wide conflict has left a corresi^onding world-wide ocean
of unrest whose mind-tossed waves cause a reverberation on the farth-
est shore.

The social aims of distressed Eussia find emulation wherever the
wake of war has left its miseries. Men everywhere are stunned by the
shocking inventory of war's blight. In their despair, some see but two
alternatives, — either chaos or the building of a new social order in which
things would be different. Just how reconstruction for the better is to
be accomplished, they know not.

'Tis, therefore, the golden hour for the dreamer and for the theorist.
The implements of industry are cast aside to discuss the establishment
of Utopian democracies from whose precincts sorrow, misery and poverty
shall be banished by legislative decree. This ideal state is to be inter-
national and by its universality is to be in reality the making of a new
world.

These world builders are totally indifferent to the lessons of thou-
sands of years of history. Modern civilization is built upon valuable
heritages from the past.

The revelations released by the excavations of the ruins of ancient
cities whose surfaces are now covered with sand and dust show a well
established society long before Moses sought freedom for his enslaved
people.

In Egypt man first soared to splendid heights of religious thought
and first revealed a confidence in a life beyond.

Egypt's decay is told in the Old Testament of the Bible, — the an-
cient literature of the Hebrews. The causes of the deterioration of peo-
ples is not conquest or enforced slavery. Neither Egypt nor Babylon
could break the national spirit of the Hebrews or shake their confidence
in God. The decay came from a departure from the traditions of the
fathers, — a deadening of spiritual and moral responsibility. Hardships
and distress but quickened the nation's spirit. It was ease, comfort and
unwonted prosperity that dulled the conscience. Even Solomon with all
his vaunted wisdom relapsed into sensual decline and his people became

112 Proceedings of the [October 15,

corrupted by the luxury and prosperity of his reign. The wealthy nation
Solomon left was not the vigorous but less prosperous people of David's
time.

War cannot crush a people when their hearts are right. Belgium
is a living example of this truth.

Wars were common in ancient times and terrible was the fate of
the defeated nation. Its cities were demolished and its people enslaved,
— yet chaos did not ensue. Conquerors, in turn, Assyrian, Babylonian
and Egyptian swept on with bloody swords. Greek and Koman chief-
tains succeeded them, to be followed later by Goths, Huns and Saracens,
all leaving a crimson path but not bedimming a faith in the splendid
solemnity of God's eternal existence and universal power.

The collapse and disintegration of the Eoman Empire darkened for
a time the progress of human betterment, although the pendulum of
time has always swung toward social improvement. The future has
always improved upon the past.

Serfdom and long and wearisome hours of toil have been gradually
lessened, — the care of unfortunates and dependents has been assumed
by the state, — cruel and unusual punishment abrogated. Educational
opportunities are available to the masses in most lands. Poverty and
its causes have been made the subject of studious consideration.

This improvement in social conditions, extending over centuries of
development, was suddenly checked by the world war. Its four years
of struggle caused each participating nation to impress its resources into
war work. Labor was diverted from peaceful industries to the making
of instruments of destruction and men were taken from their employment
to be placed under arms in the field.

The urgency of quick production of war material caused an extra
stipend to producers. The makers of the ordinary commodities of peace-
ful times had to meet the competition of the war workers in increased
wages. The ending of the war leaves the wage worker unwilling to
accept the pre-war stipend, — the manufacturer unable to reduce prices
until wages are reduced. In this controversy radical and unthinking
leaders are determined to maintain their advantage even at the price
of the destruction of government. Those who appeal to violence are
either not at all or have recently become citizens. Their acquaintance
with true democratic liberty is too brief to enable them to distinguish
between liberty and license. With this situation confronting us, Amer-
icans are talking too much and working too little.

Instead of studying the history of our Republic and the aims of our
forefathers, many are listening to idle talk of experiments in govern-

1910] Grand Lodge of Illinois 118

ment, or visionary ventures by governmental aid into new and untrod
paths where failure is fore-ordaincd and in whose wake ruin is certain.

There is an over supply of critics and obstructionists but a great
shortage exists in the number of constructive workers. The great need
of the hour is for just, loyal, thinking men, — not abnormal supermen.

Our system of government requires no revision. Under it we have
enjoyed nearly a century and a half of untold prosperity. The Declara-
tion of Independence rings as true today as when its immortal words
inspired the patriots of 1776. The Constitution is today just as able
to protect the rights of all classes as it has been for 132 years.

It is not to instruments of government we must look for a solution
of economic problems, — it is to men!

The productive forces turning from the making of destructive
munitions of war to constructive problems of peace must do so in a calm,
rational and patriotic manner.

History emphasizes the immutability of the law of supply and de-
mand. When production meets the demand, jirices will fall and the prob-
lems of the cost of living will adjust themselves. It will not be solved
by the suspension of labor.

Revolution by paralysis of business is un-American.

The American method of progress is by such evolution under law as
a majority of the people of this free land determine upon Their method
— their ideas can be legislated into laws. That is the meaning of, "A
government by the people and for the people."

Ours, as has been well said, is a government not of men but of laws
and even the people must pursue an orderly constitutional course to
change the law and then cannot ignore the fundamental principles of
human rights, — the rock upon which our Republic rests.

America stands most in danger from the inoculation of foreign ideas.

Solomon's glory began to wane when he tolerated heathen worship,
and so will the fiber of this nation become weakened if it continues to
tolerate teachings destructive to our form of representative government.
All the blood shed for American liberty from Bunker Hill to Chateau
Thierry will have been in vain if there be not a deeper realization of the
pricelessness of the liberty we enjoy and a fuller determination that no
alien tongue shall destroy its blessings by seditious teachings.

The inbred love of liberty has caused us to sympathize with the
struggles for freedom throughout the world. Our hearts were with the
Greeks when they sought independence from Turkish tyranny.

Our sympathies were with Kossuth in his struggle to establish a
government of the people in Hungary and our prayers were with those

114 Proceedings of the [October 15,

who sought to democratize Prussia, in 1848. Had thoy been successful
then, the world would have been saved the holocaust of 1914. Again we
rejoiced when Garibaldi reunited Italy.

Not only have we sympathized with those struggling for freedom
on foreign soil, but we have welcomed those who came to partake of
our freedom as full partners. They came, indeed, in countless numbers
from northern Europe, England, Scotland, Wales, Scandinavia, Germany
and then Italy.

A few decades ago there came a new element from Eastern and
Southeastern Europe, — peoples foreign to our conception of liberty and
an element that we seem to have been unable to assimilate into our
body politic. The result is today that the largest portion of this mass
of humanity remains unnaturalized, — although here, it possesses no sym-
pathy for this America we inherited from our fathers.

There is on their part no realization of what our starry emblem
means. They cannot appreciate that every star in that banner repre-
sents the struggle throughout forty-eight sections of this great common-
wealth to establish a government of the people. They cannot compre-
hend that the red stripes typify the blood of heroic martyrs who died
that liberty might prevail.

Instead, in sturdy selfishness their interest is solely in what they
can accumulate. It is in such lies a menace to our Eepublic.

The time has come when we cannot longer sanction an abuse of our
hospitality. There must be an answer from the immigration gates at
the ports of entry, "Unless you come with clean hearts, you are un-
welcome in this great Eepublic!"

In the olden days the foreigner coming with good intent was re-
ceived with open hands. We bestowed upon him all the privileges of this
great Eepublic. We received his children into our public schools and
gave them an education and all we asked in return was loyalty to
American institutions.

In those days the immigrants became in time citizens and the char-
acter of our adopted sons might be defined in the language of the poet:

"Just today we chanced to meet —
Down upon the crowded street;
And I wondered whence he came,
What was once his nation's name.

So I asked him, ' ' Tell me true.
Are you Pole or Eussian Jew,
English, Scotch, Italian, Eussian,
Belgian, Spanish, Swiss, Moravian,
Dutch or Greek or Scandinavian?"

1^1^] Grand Lodge of Illinois 115

Then he raised his head on high,
As he gave me tliis reply,
"What I was is naught to me,
In this land of Liberty,
In my soul as man to man,
I am just American."

Americans and Masons, — I am addressing you as both, because you
cannot be a good Mason without being a thorough American, The time
has come when we must insist that the immigrants of today must come
with the same spirit and purpose as those who came in the last century.

We cannot longer countenance mobs of aliens upon our thorough-
fares carrying banners deriding our government and our institutions.
In this land of ours no foreign hand shall reach to destroy our republican
form of representative government.

We do not propose there shall longer be tolerance of those who would
destroy American institutions and upon their ruin establish by miglit
and force a government of classes.

We have been too blindly confident of the permanence of our insti-
tutions to realize that "eternal vigilance is the price of liberty."

We have dealt wuth these disloyal aliens when they became dis-
orderly in the same manner as we clean our city streets, — sweeping the
rubbish into heaps and there leaving it to blow into the nostrils of de-
cent citizens. And so the police have broken vip these aggregations of
rioters and have had small fines imposed for disorderly conduct. Such
a method is like a child blowing the seed of the noxious dandelion, un-
mindful that each scattered petal becomes the parent of another plant.
Thus by simply using the police power to break up these revolutionary
gatherings we are but scattering the seeds of insurrection. That is not
the effective way to treat them.

There is a more effective way, — it is to say to each and every dis-
turbing brawler, "This land of ours welcomed you. You have betrayed
its hospitality, — you have tried to destroy its institutions. Return back
to the land from whence you came, ' ' — and having said it, see that the
strong powder of our government is exercised to do it. In plain words,
deport every anarchist, every revolutionist, every red of every brand.

Let this country be hereafter for Americans and those anxious to
become Americans! Let it not be a sphere for anarchistic propaganda.
"It should be the sublime duty of all," says the Premier of England,
"without thought of partisanship, to help in the building of the new
world where labor shall have its just reward and indolence alone shall
suffer want. ' ' That should be the aim of our government, but it can
only be realized by mutual consideration and friendly cooperation.

UNIVERSITY OF ?U!N0I5 lORARY

116 Proceedings of the [October 13,

This is the new world which Masonic teaching has encouraged. We
have taught that labor should have its just reward and our benevolences
have alleviated the sufferings of the destitute. Masons according to
their accredited history are builders.

Masons, therefore, can enter with a hearty spirit toward the goal
of a better social equality in which a reasonable limitation should be
placed upon the mighty power of wealth and a greater watchfulness be
accorded the welfare of the humblest toiler.

Indolence cannot be encouraged by paternal generosity if the nation
is to thrive. The institution of private property is an essential expres-
sion of freedom and a necessary motive for individual energy and initia-
tion. It must continue to be the incentive in a land where all men are
equal, and where individual merit is the determining factor in advance-
ment. American prosperity and progress have grown great because the
individual was afforded opportunities to become successful. The right
of private property is as old as recorded history.

The new world, as the old world has been rcchristened, by a sea of
human blood, will be just what men make it.

The Masons of America need not be abashed at the havoc of war.
The annals of American history are replete with the deeds of valor
of members of our craft. Those whose names stand out in greatest luster
were inured to the devastation of war, both upon the battle-field and
peaceful reconstruction following.

George Washington was raised to the sublime degree of a Master
Mason in an army camp during his march with General Braddock to the
fateful ambush. Washington, by his calmness and experience in Indian
warfare, saved the flying remnants of the British army from annihilation.

General Warren, who glorified Bunker Hill with his life blood, was
a member of the craft.

The chivalrous soldiers from foreign lands, Lafayette, Steuben and
DeKalb, who fought for our independence, were Masons.

The connection between Masonry and patriotic public service is so
interwoven that but few of our Presidents or great leaders have been
without the fold.

Masons need not, therefore, feel the task of reconstruction from
war's waste to be beyond their efforts.

The genuine democracy of the lodge room and the wholesome teach-
ings of the craft do much to steady the nation.

The Flag, the symbol of the nation's might, its ideals and aspira-
tions, should be received with a renewed veneration.

W19] Grand Lodge of Illinois 117

If the American people remain true to the traditions of our Repub-
lic, they will continue to be the most prosperous people of the world.
God has always favored those who remained true in heart and in spirit.
God has always favored those who love liberty. He has put into the
heart of every man a spark tliat quickens and strikes fire when liberty
is threatened.

He chose peoples of old, because of their virtues, for special favors,
so He has chosen this Republic to be a great example to all the world
of a country where liberty, not license, is enthroned, — a land which
has proven that the voice of God is the voice of the people.

The great boon to mankind is not to come by the arraignment of
class against class but by a moral awakening in man of his duty to his
co-worker.

The realization of a new world on better lines can be best defined
in the words of a fore-runner of Jesus, — "What is displeasing to thee,
do not to thy follow man; that is the whole law." In less than a dozen
words this ancient prophet has outlined a simple path to not only neigh-
borly justice but given us the basis for national perfection. Its obser-
vance precludes the practice of selfishness and inspires a forgetfulness
of self.

We need no array of verbs, adjectives and rounded periods to define
a solution of present problems. Let us try to practice the simple in-
junction of this ancient teacher and if successful in our efforts, our
problems national, social and fraternal have been solved.

of the grand master's report entitled "Jurisdictional complications" and
* ' Army and Navy Lodges, ' ' have thoroughly considered the same and rec-
ommend that they be approved.

The committee recognizes the difiicullies that have come to the grand
master by reason of the attempt to accommodate the men who entered the
service of the country, and were desirous of receiving the degrees in Ma-
sonry. Great liberality has been shown by the grand masters of Illinois,
as well as the grand lodges of other grand jurisdictions in this matter. The
Sea and Field Lodges by the Grand Lodge of New York enabled many of

118 Proceedings of tlie [October 15,

our soldiers to acquire the degrees. In camps in this country and in France
there seemed to be a disposition to ignore the laws of Masonry through the
great desire to render every opportunity for the boys who were making the
great sacrifice for their country. We must, however, be sure that we do
not allow those patriotic impulses to lead us to do that which is contrary
to our constitutions and our laws.

"We commend our late Brother Scrogin and our present grand master.
Brother Fitzgerrell, for their care and concern in preserving the laws and
regulations of Masonry, and at the same time doing all they could to favor
the man in uniform.

It came to the knowledge of Brother Scrogin through the district deputy
grand master of the 8th district that the worshipful master of Avondale
Lodge, No. 921, had proven a defaulter in the Chicago Post Office, and had
been sent to the federal prison at Fort Leavenworth. Before Brother
Scrogin made an order in this case he passed away.

On investigating the facts the grand master declared the office of
worshipful master vacant, as provided by law and issued a dispensation to
elect a new master. As there were circumstances tending to show some
mental derangement of the master of this lodge the grand master left the
case open for future adjustment and did not order charges preferred.

We recommend that the action of the grand master be approved.

Complaint was made to the grand master that the worshipful master of
E. F. Casey Lodge No. 948, located at Kell, Illinois, had been guilty of a
very grave Masonic offense. His actions were open and flagrant as re-
ported to the grand master upon investigation.

The worshipful master of the lodge at Kell admitted that he had had
improper relations with the sister of a Master Mason of that lodge, and re-
fused to agree to change them. The grand master thereupon ordered the
district deputy to depose him from the office of master and place the lodge
in charge of the senior warden. He also recommended that the master of
said lodge be expelled from all the rights and privileges of Masonry.

Your committee upon thorough consideration recommends that the ac-
tion of the grand master be approved.
All of which is fraternally submitted.

REPORT — Committee on Appeals and Grievances.

The Committee on Appeals and Grievances reported. The
report was adopted.

To the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge Ancient Free and Accepted Masons

of the State of Illinois:

Your Committee on Appeals and Grievances fraternally reports, that
but one case has been brought to this grand lodge by appeal. This is a
remarkable showing, and the fraternity is certainly to be congratulated that
there has been so little of dissension to come before you for consideration.

The one case which your committee has considered is that of Bethany
Lodge No. 884, against Brother R. K. Williamson, sometimes called in the
proceedings "Kent Williamson."

Inasmuch as there are no difficult questions to be here considered, your
committee avails itself of the present opportunity of calling attention to
some very simple, fundamental rules that all lodges ought to understand
with reference to Masonic trials.

It is singular indeed, and it seems to us inexcusable that brethren and
lodges in the state of Illinois having enjoyed such abundant opportunities
for education along these lines, should show such lamentable ignorance as
to the mode of procedure in Masonic trials.

This committee at the session of this grand lodge in 1915, made a very
careful report, calling attention to the importance of observing the code,
with reference to the formulation of charges, and making of a proper record,
and the correct procedure throughout Masonic trials. This report of the
Committee on Appeals gives the forms of procedure, forms of notices, and
elaborate and carefully prepared information with reference to Masonic

120 Proceedings of the [October 15,

trials, and is published in full in the proceedings of 1915. Moreover, the
\vritteu code of this grand lodge is so plain that there can be no excuse for
such flagrant disregard thereof, as is manifest in the record now before us.
The record in this case of Bethany Lodge against Williamson reads as
follows with reference to the presentation of charges:

' ' To the Worshipful Master, Wardens and Brethren of Bethany Lodge
Xo. 884, A. F. & A. M.

I recommend that Brother E. K. Williamson be brought to trial for
violating his obligation by cheating, wronging and defrauding brethren of
Bethany Lodge No. 884, A. F. & A. M., George Eone, Junior Warden, ' '

This is all there is of it. The record itself shows that no action was
taken on the recommendation of the junior warden. The record does not
show that charges and specifications were prepared and presented against
this accused brother. The record does not show that any action of the lodge
was taken whereby charges were accepted and the accused brother placed
on trial.

The next thing in the record after the recommendation of the junior
warden is the statement as follows :

"The worshipful master announced that the trials (referring to a
similar recommendation of the junior warden with reference to another
brother whom he accused) would be held in Bethany Lodge Eoom on Novem-
ber 10, '19, at 8 p. m. Motion seconded that charges be acted upon, ordered,
motion carried. ' '

This is not a record that the lodge voted to accept the charges and to
put the accused brother on trial. This is merely a statement that the
charges be acted upon. What action was intended is not stated .

Next follows the evidence that was taken. It is not necessary to go
into the details of this except to say that a careful examination of the
record shows unmistakably that this accused brother was put upon trial
without any proper charges or specifications against him; that the evidence
totally fails to show any moral delinquency or un-Masonic conduct on his
part. The defendant did not have a fair trial. There were no adequate
charges and specifications against him. There was no action of the lodge
requiring him to answer. The recital in the recommendation of the junior
warden that the brother should be brought to trial "for violating his
Masonic obligation by cheating, wronging and defrauding brethren of
Bethany Lodge," specifies no act of wrong doing on his part. It does not
give any such information as would enable him to make answer or be pre-
pared to meet the charge.

In general, this record is so totally defective in every particular, not
only as to the form of procedure, but as to the substance of the testimony,
that your committee feels justified in taking the pains of calling attention

1919] Grand Lodge of Illinois 121

of this lodge and of all other lodges to the importance of paying heed to
the very plainly written laws of this grand lodge governing Masonic trials.
Yonr committee desires to state however, that its conclusions in this
case are because, in our opinion the evidence totally fails to show any
guilt on the part of this defendant, and while irregularities in the mode
of procedure have been specified in the hope that they may be of educa-
tive value to this and other lodges, yet, inasmuch as the defendant was
present at the trial, we would not reverse the proceedings on these technical
reasons merely, but our conclusion is based upon the conviction that there
is no evidence that tends to show that this defendant was guilty of any
moraJ delinquency, or of any un-Masonic conduct whatever.

Your committee recommends that the action of Bethany Lodge in
finding Brother E. K. Williamson, sometimes called Kent Williamson, guilty
of any Masonic offense, be set aside and that the action of that Lodge
in indefinitely suspending Brother Williamson from all the rights and
privileges of Masonry be set aside and that Brother Williamson be now
restored to all the rights and benefits of Masonry including membership
in Bethany Lodge No. 884.

All of which is fraternally submitted,

REPORT — Committee on Legislation.

Bro. Owen Scott presented the following report of the
Committee on Legislation.

To the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge Ancient Free and Accepted Masons

of the State of Illinois:

CODE 129

Your committee recommends that amendment to Code 129, be adopted
by the addition of one word to make the meaning clearer. Insert in
the third line after word "for" the word "stenographer." The amend-
ment will then read —

129. The salary of the grand master shall be twenty-five hundred
dollars per annum, payable in monthly installments; provided, that for
such sums as he may expend for stenographer, postage and stationery
and incidental expenses the grand lodge maj' make appropriations upon
presentation of itemized bills approved by the Committee on Finance.

CODE 149

Amendment to Code 149, page 146 proceedings, seeks to strike out
of the present law the words "and for his deputy and all necessary
clerk hire and office rent." If adopted this fixes the salary of the
grand secretary at three thousand dollars and leaves open to the con-
struction by the Finance Committee the approval of bills for the clerical
help and rent of his office.

Your committee is of the opinion that the grand lodge should
fix a definite salary for the grand secretary and provide clerical assis-
tance, rent of office and incidental expenses in addition thereto. The
office of grand secretary is the center of the business of the grand lodge
and requires a great deal of labor. With almost 200,000 Masons and
nearly 1000 lodges the task is no small one. The salary should be ade-
quate t# the duty to be performed. Provision should be made for an
assistant to the grand secretary with a fixed compensation. Stenograph!,
service and incidentals should be in addition.

The amendment will then read as follows —

149. For the due performance of the duties hereinbefore prescribed,
the grand secretary shall receive, as full compensation, the sum of
three thousand dollars per annum, payable in monthly installments:
provided, that for payment of sums actually expended for postage,
express charges, and incidental official expenses the grand lodge may
make appropriations, upon presentation of itemized bills, approved by

1919] Grand Lodge of Illinois 123

the Finance Committee. Provided further that the grand secretary shall
employ an assistant ■uho shall receive such compensation as shall be
fixed by the Finance Committee and the grand master.

CODE 443

The amendment to Code 443 regarding physical qualifications of
candidates your committee has given full consideration. There is a wide
difference of opinion among brethren running from the present drastic
iron-clad law to the proposed amendment which abolishes all physical
restrictions. We submit that a middle ground is the proper one. In
line with this the committee submits the following provision as a sug-
gestion for the solution of this question. The amendment will read as
follows:

443. Every candidate applying for the degrees in Masonry must
have the senses of a man, especially those of hearing, seeing, and feeling;
be a believer in God; capable of reading and writing in English, and
possessing no maim or defect in his body that may render him incapable
of conforming to what the several degrees respectively require of him.
Provided that in case of any such maiming or physical defects, on peti-
tion of five members of the lodge, the secretary shall transmit the petition
to the grand master for his decision. Should the grand master upon
investigation deem it advisable so to do he may in his discretion issue
a dispensation permitting the lodge to proceed to ballot on the petition.

The foregoing amendments to Code Nos. 129, 149 and
443 having received a two-thirds vote were declared adopted.

CODE 321

Eegarding amendment to Code 321, your committee submits that
the matter was fully discussed one year ago, both by this committee
and in open grand lodge and the law as found in No. 321 was allowed
to stand.

Your committee, therefore, recommends this amendment be not
adopted.

Respectfully submitted,
Owen Scott,
William Wilhartz,
Joseph J. Shaw,

Cominittee.

REPORT — Representative Masonic Relief Association.

Bro. Ralph H. Wheeler presented the report of the repre-
sentatives to the Masonic Relief Association. It was ordered
printed in the proceedings.

Daniel G. Fitzgerrell, Graud Master, A. F. & A. M.,
Normal, Illinois.

Dear Brother:

As your representatives, we, the undersigned, attended the biennial
meeting of the Masonic Eeleif Association of the United States and Canada
held in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on August 27th, 28th and 29th, 1919.

This association is continuing in its good work and is steadily progres-
sing in the accomplishment of its purpose. It has added to its member-
ship materially in the last two years and now represents a vast majority
of the Masons of the nation.

Its financial condition has improved to such an extent that the per
capita cost to the grand lodge has been reduced. " This, of course, is
brought about more particularly by the added membership.

The business of the association was in the main routine.

Brother John F. Massey, a captain in the U. S. Army, whose home is
in Knoxville, T'enn., was elected president. He had been serving the asso-
ciation in the capacity of president for a considerable period of time by
virtue of the fact that the brother elected president two years ago had
died. Brother Massey is a capable man and there is no doubt but that the
institution will prosper under his leadership.

126 Proceedings of tJie [October 16,

There were two other important changes made in the official staff:
Brother Lou B. Winsor, past grand master of Michigan, was elected trea-
surer, and Brother Andrew J. O 'Eeilly, president of the Masonic Board of
Belief of St. Louis, was elected secretary.

Too much cannot be said of the courteous and fraternal attention paid
the delegates to this meeting by the Minnesota brethren. The entertain-
ment given was most pleasing and the fraternal spirit was exemplified in
every possible way.

One of the signers hereof, Brother Robert J. Daly, was elected chair-
man of the Executive Board, he having served as a member of the same
for several years.

The work being done by this association is one that Illinois may be
proud to participate in.

Fraternally yours,

Ealph H. Wheeler,
Egbert J. Dalt.

SECOND REPORT — Committee on Chartered Lodges.

The second report of the Committee on Chartered Lodges
was read by Bro. J. Huber Allen. The report was adopted.

To the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge Ancient Free and Accepted Masons

of the State of Illinois:

We, your Committee on Chartered Lodges, having to do with the re-
ports of the district deputy grand masters on their ' ' official visits and
inspections" as provided for under Code 165, present this special report.

With 877 lodges, divided into 100 districts, we received reports on 815,
at an average expense of $1.69 per visit and inspection.

The reports show that 350 lodges own either exclusively or jointly tTicir
own quarters, and 126 failed to insure their property and equipment.

Three hundred-eighty six are not provided with fire-proof safes l •
vaults for proper protection of their records. And ten secretaries w-ere
not provided with proper books and blanks.

In 65 lodges the character of reports of investigating committees was
made a matter of record. Thus violating Code No. 465.

Thirty-nine failed to show in minutes, receipts for fees and dues, and
25 failed to show time of opening and closing, while in 36, the minutes
were not signed by master and secretary.

In 108 lodges, the records were not being kept in accordance with
the requirements of Grand Lodge By-Laws. Fifteen were not using proper
form of petitions for degrees and affiliation.

1919] Crrand Lodge of Illinois 127

There were 27 whose by-laws were not in harmony with the Grand
Lodge by-laws. Nine did not have roll of memberships containing by-laws
for members to sign.

The reports show that in only 7 lodges the work did not conform to
that taught in the schools of instruction, but this question was not answered
by the district deputy grand masters in their reports on 167 lodges.

One hundred seventy-four never held meetings for instruction and
practice. Seven were not provided with candidates garment. Three with-
out proper setting mauls, and 26 had no middle chamber pillars. Twenty-
seven did not have third degree outfit as prescribed, and 18 were without
proper receiving instruments for senior deacon.

In 44 lodges the books of secretary and treasurer are not audited.
Five hundred thirteen secretaries and 503 treasurers were not bonded.

One of the most important duties of a lodge is the preservation of
its records. We find however, that only about 60 percent of the lodges
have provided fire-proof safes or vaults for the safety of their records.
Lodges delinquent in this respect should give the matter prompt attention.
We note quite a number of lodges are reported as not collecting dues
promptly, which is a poor business proposition. Dues should be collected
promptly, and should be of such amount as to provide for current expense,
per capita, necessary paraphernalia and equipment, and a fund for neces-
sary charity calls, and in many of the lodges the dues are entirely too low.
The figures given above when compared with previous reports all show
improvement in manner of keeping records and general conduct of the
lodges, and we urge that each master present, make it his business as soon
as he gets home, to see if his own lodge is guilty of any of the delinquencies
or discrepancies enumerated. If you will look into this matter, we are sure
the delinquency part of this report will be a very small item next year.
We again recommend that every district deputy grand master study
his blue book, calling special attention to Codes Nos. 164, 165, 166, and 397.

Fraternally submitted,

Phil C. Barclay,
W. W. Watson,
LiNDORF Walker,

of Waldemar George Eatz and William Philip Eatz, to Waldemar George
Eoss and William Philip Eoss.

Petition No. 30C. Integrity Lodge No. 997 to change the name of
William John Pretzel to William John PurcoU.

All the above petitions are supported by proper evidence that the
several changes desired have already been effected by action of civil courts.
We therefore recommend that petitions numbering from 1 to 30C inclusive
be granted.

Petition No. 31. Beacon Light Lodge No. 784 to change the name
of Carl P. Lundgren to Carl P. SchoUer.

It appears that in changing from the name of Carl P. Lundgren to
that of Carl P. SchoUer that Brother Scholler is simply resuming his real
name. When Brother SchoUer was a child, his mother, then a widow,
married a Mr. Lundgren, and Carl was called Lundgren for some years.
Several years ago he began using his rightful name (SchoUer), was mar-
ried as Carl P. Scholler, transacts all business and legal matter in that
name and was in the draft for the army by that name.

We therefore recommend that petition number 31 be granted.

Petition No. 82. Kilwinning Lodge No. 311 to change the name of
Harvey L. Heystek to Harvey L. Hasting.

It is evident that Brother Heystek has not had his name changed by
legal action of the court. In response to a letter from this committee that
such action would be necessary before his name could be changed on the
records of the lodge, he advised that, by information received from a

1919] Grand Lodge of Illinois 131

prominent daily paper, it was not necessary to have his name changed by
action of the court; that an affidavit that such change had been made by
him was sufficient. We are of the opinion that the source of information
is not a good Masonic authority and that petition number 32 be not granted.
Petition No. 33. Fortitude Lodge No. 1003 to change the name of
Ben Walensky to Ben Walens.

Petition No. 34. Parkway Lodge No. 1008 to change the name of
Paul A. Witzke to Paul A. Winton,

To petitions number 33 and number 34 this committee requested that
certificates of courts be submitted showing that the desired changes had
been effected by action of civil courts, but such evidence has never been
received. We therefore recommend that petitions number 33 and 34 be not
granted.

Petition No. 35. In the case of Parkway Lodge No. 1008 in which
said lodge petitions that the name of Paul Witzke be changed to Paul
Winton, your committee finds that all requirements have been complied
with and we therefore recommend that the petition of Parkway Lodge be
granted.

Petition No. 36. Petition of for reinstatement

in Herrin Prairie Lodge No. 693.

The offense for which this man was expelled was a serious one, being
that of visiting a neighboring town with another man's wife and regis-
tering at a hotel as man and wife. During the night the woman com-
mitted suicide.

The case was given wide publicity and resulted in the separation of
this man from his own wife, though afterwards they were reconciled and
are now living together.

To restore tim to the rights and privileges of Masonry would in a
manner at least be considered as condoning the offense.

We therefore recommend that this petition be not granted.

Petition No. 37. Petition of for reinstatement

in New Columbia Lodge No. 336.

The action of the lodge in this case is in conformity with all require-
ments and appears to correctly represent the sentiment and wishes of the
brethren. We therefore recommend that this petition be granted.

Petition No. 38. Petition of for reinstatement

in Gibson Lodge No. 733.

From information at hand, the action of the lodge in this case is proper
and right. We recommend that this petition be granted.

132 Troceedings of tJie [October 16,

Petition No. 39. Petition of for reinstatement

in Capron Lodge No. 575.

Additional evidence in this case indicates that the offending brother
is now worthy the favorable consideration of this grand lodge. We rec-
ommend that this petition be granted.

Petition No. 40. Petition of for reiiistatenieiit

in Madison Lodge No. 560, New Douglas, 111.

Your committee recommends that this petition be granted.

Petition No. 41. Petition of for reinstalemeiit

in Full Moon Lodge No. 341, Grafton.

Your committee recommends that this petition be granted.

Petition No. 42. Petition of for reinsta lenient

to Auburn Park Lodge No. 789.

Your committee listened patiently to the statements and argiimenls
of a number of brethren favorable and adverse to this petition, most of
which were so contradictory in character as to render them of practically
no value.

This case was originally tried by a commission appointed by the grand
master during the year 1917, and upon appeal to the grand lodge in annual
meeting in October, 1917, was reviewed by the Committee on Appeals and
Grievances, which committee approved the verdict of the trial commission
and reported to the grand lodge accordingly, and the grand lodge adopted
the report.

By petition of a number of brothers of Auburn Park Lodge this case
was again brought before this grand lodge at its annual meeting in Octo-
ber, 1918, and was again reviewed by the Committee on Appeals and Griev-
ances, which committee again approved all former action in connection
with this case.

In view of all these circumstances, your committee cannot bring itself
to believe that every one officially connected with this case could liavc
been mistaken.

We therefore recommend that this petition be not granted.

Petition No. 43. Petition of for restoration to

Piper Lodge No. 608.

The offense of this brother was in securing admission into the frater-
nity by falsely representing that he had never before petitioned for the
degrees.

Charges were preferred, he was placed on trial, admitted his guilt and
was sentenced to be reprimanded.

1919J Grand Lodge of Illinois 133

The grand master ordered the case appealed, and at the annual meeting
in October, 1917, the Committee on Appeals and Grievances recommended
that the verdict of the lodge be set aside and that the brother be expelled
from all the rights and privileges of Masonry, vrhich recommendation was
adopted by the grand lodge.

At the annual meeting in October, 1918, Piper Lodge No. 608 peti-
tioned this grand lodge to restore this brother to the rights and privileges
of Masonry, but the petition was denied.

We are also informed by reliable witnesses that notwithstanding the
penalty of expulsion under which this brother rests he still continues
brazenly wearing the emblems of Masonry.

Your committee is of the opinion that the action of the grand lodge
in denying his petition one year ago was a wise action, and we recommend
that the present petition be not granted.

Petition No. 44, Petition of Frank LcEoy Sallows for reinstatement
to good standing in the fraternity.

It appears that Frank LeEoy Sallows was suspended by Cordova Lodge
No. 543, now defunct, for non-payment of dues, dates not given, the
amount of which was $7.40. He now petitions for reinstatement to good
standing in the fraternity, accompanying his petition with the amount for
which he was suspended and including therewith the recommendation of
a regular lodge in his community that his petition be granted.

We therefore recommend that his petition be granted.

Petition No. 45. Petition of Stillwell E. Harcourt for reinstatement
to good standing in the fraternity.

We recommend that this petition be granted.

Petition No. 46. Whereas, the various lodges of Illinois have con-
tributed to the War Belief and National Defense funds with "the idea of
helping in every way the spirit and morale of the men in the service,
Masons and otherwise, to uphold the aims and purposes of our govern-
ment and to give the Masons of Illinois an opportunity of helping in the
saving of civilization," a sum totaling $231,932.61, of which a balance of
$217,149.74 remained on October 5th, 1918, and

Whereas, sacrifices were made by the different lodges to contribute to
those funds, and especially Olney Lodge 140, and now that the object for
which the money so contributed is attained, the war ended and demobiliza-
tion practically complete, the necessity for further expenditure of the fund
so collected is past, the balance remaining belongs in good conscience to
the different lodges in proportion to the amount each contributed.

Therefore, be it resolved, that the grand lodge be required to prorate
the balance of said fund to the several lodges in proportion to their con-

134 Proceedings of tlie [October 16,

tributions without delay. And that a copy of these resolutions be forward-
ed to the grand secretary, to be read at the first meeting of the grand lodge
and action taken thereon.

Adopted by a unanimous vote of Olney Lodge No. 140, Sept. 15, 1919.

Joseph I. Stoll, W. M.,
S. C. FuLKERSON, Sec. Pro-Tern.

The matters contained in this petition have been fully covered by the
grand master in his official report, and recommendations appertaining there-
to have been made by him and in turn have been referred to another com-
mittee.

We therefore recommend that the findings of that committee concern-
ing the matters contained in this petition be given proper consideration
by this grand lodge and that this committee make no recommendations.

Petitipn No. 47. Petition of

This is a most peculiar and unusual case, for the determination of
which there is no precedent to guide the actions of your committee.

It appears that this brother came to Centralia some years ago with
a companion who was in some sort of trouble. Fearing that the presence
of the companion might be disclosed through him, he was persuaded to
adopt a fictitious name by which he became well known in that vicinity.
His environments and associations were such that his stay in Centralia was
extended to several years. He finally petitioned the lodge, using the name
by which he had become known in that city. Finally returning to his for-
mer home in Milwaukee, it was necessary of course to resume his legal
and rightful name.

At the present time he is confined in a hospital with little or no chance
of recovery, and it is his desire to have his rightful name appear upon the
records of Centralia Lodge and upon the records of the grand lodge.

While this petition does not come before this committee in the regula-
tion or prescribed manner, by the earnest solicitation of the District Dep-
uty Grand Master Brother D. B. Eobertson and Brother Charles C. Davis,
both of whom are members of Centralia Lodge and both of whom are well
known to many of the members of this grand lodge, we have thought well
to present the matter to this grand body recommending that his name be
changed upon the records of Centralia Lodge and upon the records of the
grand lodge to conform with his wishes and that he shall be known here-
after Masonically by his rightful and legal name.

Eespectfully submitted,

REPORT— Committee on Obituaries.

Bro. S. P. Reese presented the report of the Committee
on Obituaries. It was adopted by a rising vote.

To the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge Ancient Free and Accepted Masons
of the State of Illinois:

Brethren: —

During the past year our senior past grand master, Monroe C. Craw-
ford, and our grand master, Austin H. Scrogin, and a large number of
past masters of lodges, after having lived lives of usefulness and honor
have been summoned to their home above. They served their country
and their fellow-men. They wrought faithfully as Masons and were
honored and loved by all of the fraternity.

In flesh they are gone but in spirit they linger. They are here now
and today. Crawford and Scrogin and these other masters and past mas-
ters are laboring in this audience more effectually now than if physically
present. They are calling for greater charities, for a better humanity,
for a greater unselfishness.

Their real epitaphs are not written on their tombstones, but rather in
the hearts of men. They are not seen but are kindly felt. Long may
they linger. In years to come when we too shall have passed and been
raised, when granite shall have been crumbled and streams shall have
changed their courses their kindly deeds shall continue to blossom and bear
fruit. By such conduct only can humanity hope to escape from conditions
now appalling. From kindliness, unselfishness and sympathy for the weak-
er and less fortunate we arrive at human betterment.

To the families and friends of these distinguished brethren we extend
our heartfelt sympathy; to the God of all, our gratitude for their useful
lives. To the earth we consigned their ashes and to you, brethren, and
your Masonic successors we consecrate the memories of them and their work.

Bro. Monroe C. Crawford

Past Grand Master 1891-1893

Born May 26th, 1835; Died March 9th, 1919,

M. W. Bro. Monroe C. Crawford was born on a farm in Franklin
County, Illinois, on the 26th day of May, 1835. He gives the following ac-
count of himself:

136 Proceedings of the [October 16,

"My mother died before I was five years old and before I was seven
I was identured to a farmer to learn the art of farming. At the age of
fifteen the gentleman to whom I was identured changed his occupation to
a general merchant and proposed to put me into a retail store as a clerk.
I refused to serve as a clerk and the gentleman to whom I was identured
and I settled the question by my purchasing the remainder of my time.
After buying my time I taught school for one term and followed that by
one term at McKendree College."

He then studied law and began his career in his chosen profession.
Only last December he laid aside the judicial ermine that he had honored
and adorned for 44 years. Twelve of these were as Judge of the Circuit
Court and 32 of the County and Probate Court of Union County.

A break came when in the ardor of youth he obeyed the patriotic im-
pulses that dominated him and donned the blue in the Civil War, leaving
the service at the close with the rank of lieutenant-colonel. For more than
a half century since the war for the preservation of the Union, Judge Craw-
ford was a mighty factor in all affairs in southern Illinois. In his city
and county he filled almost every position of trust and responsibility in
which his friends and neighbors called him to serve.

As a Mason his life was no less distinguished than in his affairs of his
city and section. He took the degrees of Entered Apprentice, Fellow Craft
and Master Mason in Benton Lodge No. 64, in 1855. It will be thus seen
that he was a member of the craft for almost 64 years, being one of the
oldest in point of service in Illinois and in the entire country. He served
as junior warden in Benton Lodge in 1856. He affiliated with Jonesboro
Lodge No. Ill, August 13, 1859, being four times elected worshipful
master.

In grand lodge he was always a conspicuous figure. He served as
junior grand warden from 1885 to 1887; senior grand warden, from 1887
to 1889; deputy grand master from 1889 to 1891 and grand master from
1891 to 1893. On retiring as grand master he was made chairman of the
Committee on Appeals and Grievances, a position which he held for over
twenty years. This supreme appellate body never had a more able chair-
man than he. After his long service in this place. Brother Crawford was
transferred to and became chairman of Jurisprudence, the greatest com-
mittee in the grand lodge. This he held until his death.

MONROE C. CRAWFORD

PAST GRAND MASTER
DIED MARCH 9, 1919

1819] Grand Lodge of Illinois 137

In 1893 the World 's Masonic Congress was held in Chicago. Over
this Brother Crawford had the unique honor to preside. This was the only
such body ever held in the United States. Brother Crawford in 1907 was
elected Grand High Priest of the Grand Chapter, K. A. M. of Illinois.
In 1873 he took the orders of Knighthood in Cairo Commandery, Knights
Templar.

At the last session of the grand lodge, held in October, 1918, being the
senior past grand master. Brother Crawford was chosen to speak for the
representatives of other grand lodges, he being the representative of Ari-
zona. Many think he never spoke more impressively in grand lodge than
in this his last appearance. His mind seemed as clear and virile as when
he was forty years younger.

It was my melancholy privilege March 11, to officiate at his funeral,
under the auspices of his own lodge, Jonesboro No. 111. The very large
number of his brethren, together with many hundreds of people from all
over that section of the state, attest the high esteem in which this distin-
guished brother was hold by the community of which he had been an active
and useful factor for more than a half century.

He was a brave soldier, an able jurist, an upright, useful citizen,
a loyal Mason, and a Christian gentleman.

The foregoing obituary was written by Most Worshipful Brother Aus-
tin H. Scrogin little thinking that it would be our painful duty to read
that of him along with it.

Bro. Austin H. Scrogin

Grand Master from October, 1917 to April, 1919.

Died While in Office

Born May 12th, 1855; Died April 26th, 1919.

M. W. Bro. Austin H. Scrogin departed this life at his home at
Lexington, Illinois, on the 26th day of April, A. D. 1919.

Our illustrious grand master in the discharge of his Masonic duties
was attending the funeral services of a deceased member of his lodge,
and was marching in procession with his brethren to the cemetery at Lex-
ington, where he was to conduct the Masonic burial service. Brother

138 Proceedings of tJie [October 16,

Scrogin, while thus engaged, was stricken and survived only a few minutes.
Thus he died in the harness, clad as grand master and wearing the jewel
of that office.

He served this grand lodge as a member of its Board of Grand Exam-
iners and as its chairman with great efficiency and ingratiated himself with
his brethren in such measure that by their choice he became junior grand
warden of this grand lodge in 1911. He was regularly advanced until at
the session of this grand lodge in 1917, he became its grand master. He
was re-elected to this exalted position at the last session of this grand
lodge in 1918.

The untimely death of our grand master has come to us when his
services were greatly needed.

In every relation of life Brother Scrogin in well rounded measure,
met every just expectation and faithfully discharged every duty to the
last. He was a wise and prudent grand master, kind and considerate to all
his brethren, tireless in the discharge of his every duty, loved by all of us
while he lived and venerated by us now.

Brother Scrogin was zealous in the discharge of his Masonic obligations
and before the world he stood as a just and upright Mason. The loss of
his leadership is deeply felt by us all. His counsel and advice can guide
us no longer.

Masonry in Illinois sustained an unprecedented loss in the untimely
death of our grand master.

For a list of the masters and past masters in Illinois and
officers and past grand officers of other grand jurisdictions
who died during the year see memorial pages in the appendix.

SECOND REPORT— Committee on Legislation.

Bro. Owen Scott made the following report for the Com-
mittee on Legislation.

To the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge Ancient Free and Accepted Masons

of the State of Illinois:

Amendments to Sections 218 and 219 must be considered together.
They materially affect the revenues of this grand lodge. Paragraph G
amending Section 218 is new. It proposes to require every new Master
Mason uniting with a lodge by affiliation or by receiving the degrees to
pay into the grand lodge treasury the sum of ten (10) dollars. It is thought
that this will put grand lodge finances on a sound and safe basis. The
large and increasing cost of maintaining our two great Homes draws heavily
on the resource of this grand lodge. This is especially so during the time
that the high prices of food and clothing continue.

Last year more than 15,000 men became Master Masons in Illinois.
Had this amendment been in force this would have produced $150,000. Our
late lamented Brother Austin H. Scrogin, in his report last year, urged
that this amendment be adopted. The need for largely increased revenues
is very pressing. Those seeking admission might easily be willing to
make this contribution to become partners in our valuable enterprises.
Present members have paid large sums now invested in the Homes at
Sullivan and La Grange. New members would share in the benefits and
privileges thus provided.

Your committee, however, is of the opinion that this proposed amend-
ment should not apply to afiiliation. It has always been the policy of
this grand lodge to encourage persons who are non-afiiliated to unite with
some lodge. We, therefore, recommend that in the proposed amendment
to be known as Paragraph G of Section 218 the words "or affiliated" be
stricken out. The amendment will then read —

G. For every applicant for the degrees, whose petition is received
subsequent to the adoption of this amendment, ten dollars in addition to
the fees required by the by-laws of each lodge. This additional sum to
be returned to the applicant in case of his rejection.

Your committee, therefore, recommends that the foregoing Paragraph
G, to Section 218, and the amendment to Section 219 be adopted.

Eegarding proposed amendments to Paragraphs E and F of Section
218 there is need of most careful consideration. The grand lodge dues
are now $1.00. The amendments propose to reduce this to 75 cents. It
is very essential that the grand lodge should be sure of enough money to
carry on its work without being cramped or hindered for want of funds.

142 Proceedings of the [October 16,

The phenomenal growth of the past two years may not continue. Instead
of $120,000 additional revenue it might fall far below this sum. The
payment of 25 cents additional is a small matter to each individual Mason.
In the aggregate, it means much to the grand lodge. Should there be a
slump in admissions this grand lodge might be in sore need of money, if
this reduction in grand lodge dues be made. It would take at least a year
to bring the amount back to the present requirement of one dollar per
member. It is always a difficult matter to raise grand lodge dues and quite
easy to lower them.

Your committee, therefore, recommends that amendments to Para-
graphs E and F, Section 218 and amendment to Section 667 of the code
be not adopted. This will leave grand lodge dues $1.00 per member as now.
We also recommend that amendment to Code 552, known as Para-
graph A, be adopted, after striking out the words ' ' Master Masons ' ' and
inserting the words "entered apprentice" in the second line and striking
out the words "or balloting on a petition for aflSliation" in the second
and third lines.

Fraternally submitted,
Owen Scott,
William Wilhaetz,
Joseph J. Shaw,

Committee.

The proposed amendments to Code 552 by adding Section
A, and to Code No. 218 as Paragraph G, requiring each ap-
plicant for the degrees or affihation to pay $10.00 in addition
to the fees fixed by the by-laws of the lodge were not adopted.

Amendment to Code No. 667 was adopted by a two-thirds
vote and so declared. The amendment is as follows:

667. Every lodge in this jurisdiction, on or before the first day of
August each year, shall pay into the treasury of the grand lodge, through
the grand secretary, the sum of one dollar and tiventy-five cents for each
Master Mason belonging to such lodge at the time of making the annual re-
turns. Of this one dollar and twenty-five cents the sum of eighty cents shall
be for the general fund and forty-five cents for the charity fund, subject to
such appropriations from time to time as the grand lodge may direct.

Amendment to Code No. 667, providing for the payment
of 75 cents per annimi as grand lodge dues, failing to receive
a two-thirds vote was declared not adopted.

1919] Grand Lodge of Illinois 143

Amendments to Paragraphs E and F of Code No. 218,
grand lodge by-laws, striking out "one dollar" and inserting
"seventy-five cents" as grand lodge dues, not receiving the
required two-thirds vote, were declared not adopted.

AMENDMENT TO CODE OFFERED.

Bro. W. J. Leacock, Jr., offered the following amendment
to the Code. It was seconded by the representatives of more
than twenty lodges and goes to the Committee on Legislation.

Amend Code 451, by-laws relating to lodges, by striking out the
words "either initiation" in the first line, the word "or" in the second
line and by adding the sentence "no alien can petition a Masonic lodge
for initiation."

If amended the Code will read —

451. An alien, who is a candidate for affiliation, and who is other-
wise qualified, need not be naturalized as a prerequisite to his petitioning
a Masonic lodge. No alien can petition a Masonic lodge for initiation.

DETAILED REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENTS OF
THE MASONIC HOMES.

REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF ILLINOIS MASONIC
ORPHANS' HOME.

To the Chairman and Members of the Executive Committee of the Board of

Managers of the Illinois Masonic Orphans' Some:

Dear Brethren: Herewitli I beg to submit my fourth annual report
as superintendent of the Home.

At the date of this report, Sept. 30, 1919, the children are all well
and healthy with the exception of one mild case of tonsillitis.

On Friday succeeding our visit to grand lodge last year, influenza
attacked our members. Of the 94 members 76 suffered from its ravages.
Of the 11 employees, 6 were sick. Death entered our Home when Lewis
Smith, a boy of 11 years from Bridgeport Lodge No. 386, succumbed to
pneumonia following the influenza. At the request of the lodge, his body
was sent to Bridgeport for burial. Sincere and grateful thanks of all
those in immediate charge of this home are extended to the members of
the Executive Committee and to Drs. Ealph H. Wheeler and Arthur J.
Behrendt for their untiring efforts in obtaining nurses. It was through
their efforts that on Oct. 28 we were able to secure the services of two.
At that time there were 36 children and 4 adults confined to their beds in
the active stages of the disease.

That but one succumbed to the ravages of the disease is owing to the
skilled, close and continued care given the patients by our Home physician,
Dr. A. E. Higgins. During the six weeks the disease lasted he never
Jagged in his efforts, day after day early in the morning and late at night
he was with us.

Owing to the long continued drought our garden this year has not been
as profitable as heretofore. While we have had an abundance of the various
vegetables for use on the table, there has been but a limited surplus for
canning. Instead of nearly 1,100 quarts that we had last year we will not
have to exceed 300 this year.

Entertainment.

During the year the following Masonic bodies have entertained the
children:

Old Glory Lodge — Flag presentation, games, on our Home grounds.

Old Glory Lodge — Entertainment for the older children at the Austin
Masonic Temple, and the presentation of 16 musical instruments for the
boys ' and girls ' home band.

Detailed Report — Masonic Homes 193

Standard Lodge — Vaudeville show at the Home.

Aryon Grotto Band — Band concert on Home grounds.

Veritas Lodge — At Glenwood Park.

Pleiades Lodge — At Glenwood Park.

Lakeview Lodge — Eiverside.

Union Park Lodge — On Home grounds.

Keystone Lodge — At Eiverside.

To the Board of Trustees , Illinois Masonic Orphans' Home:

Gentlemen: — I have the usual short report to make as to the health
of the children during the past year.

During October and November last year we had 7G cases of influenza
and lost one boy from pneumonia following influenza. The balance made
perfect recoveries. We have had a few cases of whooping cough and that
is all we have had of a contagions form.

All else proved to be slight indispositions of a variety of kinds.

Yours truly,

Arthur E. Higgins,

Physician to Home.

Thanks to the generosity of Old Glory Lodge, and the helping hands
of Bros, Tom Wilson, A. C. Scouten and Messrs. Lyon & Healy in furnish-
ing additional instruments, we have a Boys and Girls Band doing good
work nnder the instruction of Bro. T. K. Davission.

The latest activity and one of the most interesting has come to us
through the appropriation by Eiverside Lodge No. 862 of three hundred
dollars for installing a printing plant at the Home and the appointment
of Bros. Geo. Lockie and A. M. Harvie to take charge of the installation.

A more perfect demonstration of true Masonic brotherly love than that
given by these two brothers, it has never been my pleasure to witness. Not
only are they wisely and carefully expending the monies of the lodge and
getting donations from their generous brothers and friends, but they are
devoting many hours of time each week to the training of our boys in the
printing art. The value of their services can not be measured in dollars.
The plant with this service of love and affection is a gift of inestimable
value.

No one not connected with the Home can estimate the value of these
added activities. Our mannal training, domestic science, music and printing
are bringing to the front the latent and ofttimes unsuspected talent of
our wards. With proper quarters in which to carry on these lines of work
and instruction, our children will develop into men and women of whom
the whole fraternity will justly be proud.

Eespcctfully submitted,

Geo. L. Hilliker.

Superintendent.

Pursuant to orders the Board of Grand Examiners conducted five
schools of instruction and three examinations for commissions as grand
lecturers.

The total attendance at the schools was 2,226. Thirty-eight applicants
successfully passed the examinations and were recommended for commissions
as grand lecturers.

The schools were well attended and results being very gratifying to
the Board. As in the past three years, Wednesday evening of the school
was given over to the grand master and a speaker selected by him.

TTie board wishes to express their appreciation to the M.W. grand
master, the grand secretary and other grand officers for their attendance
and kindly assistance at the schools; to the grand lecturers who came at
their own expense and loss of time to make the schools the success they
were; and also to the brethren who by their fraternal kindness and assistance
lent the aid whereby the success of the schools was attained.

On the several Wednesday evenings of the schools we were pleased to
hear addresses from the following distinguished brethren, to whom we are
greatly indebted.

Hon. Francis G. Blair, Superintendent of Public Instruction.
Owen Scott, Past Grand Master.

Hon. Edward J. Brundage, Attorney General of the State of Illinois.
George L. Schoonover, Grand Master of Masons, of Iowa.

Following is a detailed report of the schools' and examinations:

torium Lodge Hall, Chicago, December 27th and 28th, 1918, when the fol-

Since the last report of the Board of Grand Examiners the following
grand lecturers have been called to the higher Lodge above.
Leslie W. Morton
Wm. Dayton McKinney
Charles Anderson Luse
Herman A. Eimpler
John C. Weis
Phillip Carey Vaughan

We shall miss them at future schools and meetings of the fraternity;
we realize how weak an attempt would be to eulogize the virtues of our
departed brethren; we leave that to those that loved and knew them best.

On Saturday, April 26th, 1919, we were shocked to hear of the death
of our beloved Grand Master, Bro. Austin H. Scrogin, whose death oc-

270 Appendix

curred at his home in Lexington. He was stricken while in the performance
of the labor he loved so well.

The Board of Grand Examiners during Brother Scrogin 's regime were
under very many obligations to him for his uniform kindness and help
under many very trying conditions and circumstances. We shall miss him.
In concluding this report, we desire to express to you our appreciation
of the many kindnesses extended to us and congratulate you on your suc-
cessful administration as grand master.

Eespectfully and fraternally submitted,

Board of Grand Examiners,

Geo. E. Carlson, Secretary.
Moline, 111., Sept. 23rd, 1919.

Amendments io By-Laws Adopted 271

AMENDMENTS TO BY-LAWS ADOPTED.

129. The salary of the grand master shall be twenty-five hundred
dollars per annum, payable in monthly installments; provided, that for
such sums as he may expend for stenographer, postage and stationery
and incidental expenses the grand lodge may make appropriations upon
presentation of itemized bills approved by the committee on finance. — 1919.

149. For the due performance of the duties hereinbefore prescribed,
the grand secretary shall receive, as full compensation, the sum of
three thousand dollars per annum, payable in monthly installments:
Provided, that for payment of sums actually expended for postage,
express charges, and incidental official expenses the grand lodge may
make appropriations, upon presentation of itemized bills, approved by
the Finance Committee. Provided further, that the grand secretary shall
employ an assistant who shall receive such compensation as shall be
fixed by the Finance Committee and the grand master. — 1919.

166. Each district deputy grand master shall make an annual report
to the grand master thirty days prior to the meeting of the grand lodge,
setting forth his official acts during the year, the state of Masonry
within his jurisdiction, the condition of the lodges in his district, and sug-
gesting such measures as to him may appear conducive to the general
good of the fraternity; which report shall be published with the proceed-
ings, insofar as the grand master may deem advisable. — 1919.

243. The grand officers designated in Code No. 14, page 21, such
past grand masters, past deputy grand masters and past grand wardens
as shall be present and shall be members of constituent lodges in Illinois

from each lodge under this jurisdiction shall be allowed five cents per
mile going and returning, for every mile traveled from the location of his
lodge, to be computed by the necessarily traveled route, and (except the
grand master, grand treasurer and grand secretary) four dollars per day
for each day 's actual attendance on the grand lodge or its committees. No
one shall receive mileage or per diem in more than one capacity. — 1919.

321. Smoking in open lodge is prohibited, and the master is re-
sponsible for the strict enforcement of this by-law. — 1917. — 1919.

443. Every candidate applying for the degrees in Masonry must
have the senses of a man, especially those of hearing, seeing, and feeling;
be a believer in God; capable of reading and writing in English, and
possessing no maim or defect in his body that may render him incapable
of conforming to what the several degrees respectively require of him.
Provided that in case of any such maiming or physical defects, on peti-
tion of five members of the lodge, the secretary shall transmit the petition
to the grand master for his decision. Should the grand master upon
investigation deem it advisable so to do he may in his discretion issue
a dispensation permitting the lodge to proceed to ballot on the petition.

667. Every lodge in this jurisdiction, on or before the first day
of August each year, shall pay into the treasury of the grand lodge,
through the grand secretary, the sum of one dollar and twenty-five cents for
each Master Mason belonging to such lodge at the time of making the annual
returns. Of this one dollar and twenty-five cents the sum of eighty cents
shall be for the general fund and forty-five cents for the charity fund,
subject to such appropriations from time to time as the grand lodge may
direct.— 1919.

APPENDIX PART I

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON
MASONIC CORRESPONDENCE

PREFATORY.

In the preparation of the correspondence report for the
year 1919 the writer has made every effort to condense, abridge,
and paraphrase. For a long time there has been a growing
conviction that the correspondence reports which have been
submitted to the Grand Lodge of Illinois were entirely too
long; so much so that they have failed to claim interest be-
cause of the tremendous amount of matter which the reader
found it necessary to peruse in order to get the particular thing
for which he was looking.

Again, it has been charged that too much of the correspond-
ence reports are loaded up with the individual opinion of the
writer as well as a tendency toward an exchange of argument
with other correspondents.

The writer is fully conscious that the correspondence report
submitted to the grand lodge last year was entirely too long.
It was, however, prepared along the lines suggested by our
lamented grand master, Austin H. Scrogin, who was an intense
student of Freemasonry. He studied the proceedings of all
grand lodges most assiduously and depended largely upon tlie
perusual of correspondence reports for the valuable informa-
tion which he desired and which they frequently contain. But,
Brother Scrogin was an exception. There are very few men
who take the keen interest in general Masonic affairs that he
did, or who have the time to devote themselves to the careful
study of reports on correspondence that he gave.

In the preparation of the report which follows every effort
has been made to condense, and the scissors have been spar-
ingly used. It has demanded close reading of all proceedings
in an effort to glean therefrom the saliant points and it has
required no little care in presenting them in a condensed form.
The writer has been strongly tempted at times to comment on
things which he has discovered in the transactions of otlier
grand lodges, but however strong the temptation, he has en-
deavored to restrict himself as much as possible. The report

IV

submitted does not by any means nieasure up to the writer's
idea of a condensed, spicy, interesting correspondence report,
wherein the reader may glean that general knowledge of craft
conditions which it is the intention of such documents to pre-
sent.

Much trouble has been experienced during the year in se-
curing the reports of various grand lodges due to business con-
ditions, but every report available has been carefully examined
and an honest effort made to reveal the general condition of
Masonrj" in the various jurisdictions under consideration.

DELMAR D. DARK AH.
Bloomington, Illinois, September 1, 1919.

THE POINT OF VIEW.

One of the subjects which has claimed the attention of
grand masters during the year just closed relates to the nu-
merous lectures which are being foisted upon the craft by what
has been termed ''symbologists. "

At the present time there is a great epidemic of this par-
ticular species in the Masonic Fraternity who are panning their
wares off on the unsophisticated, much to the detriment of the
society. It appears that many of these men have seized upon
the idea of connecting up the Masonic Fraternity with ancient
mysteries, rites, and ceremonies by the medium of well-known
symbols for the purpose of exciting the curiosity of Masons
as well as filling their own pocketbooks. All of this works to
the serious injury of the fraternity, for the reason that there
are in the society, intelligent men who are acquainted with
history and whose common sense tells them that much of the
claim of these symbologists is not only false, but highly ridicu-
lous. It is an easy matter to reduce any given subject to
symbolism and much of the symbolism which is used in Free-
masonry today has been borrowed from old rites and ceremon-
ies and injected into the society by modern ritual builders.
It is the hardest thing in the world to get Masons to tell the
truth about Freemasonry. There seems to be an innate desire
to invest the society with an atmosphere of antiquity and to
try and so becloud the true history of the organization as to
leave the inierested Mason in a state of doubt as to just ex-
actly where it came from. During the past year, several grand
masters have called the attention of their grand lodges to the
many pernicious doctrines that are being peddled by travelling
symbologists and other would-be Masonic oracles and have
cautioned the members of the craft against accepting much of
the false material which is being circulated as the truth. Ma-
sonic newspapers are full of articles dealing with Masonic
symbolism which are misleading in the extreme, and it is a

VI

matter of regret that Masonic censorship of some kind cannot
be established in order to protect our young Masons from
being misled and deceived.

Unexpended Balances

From a careful perusal of grand lodge reports, the idea is
obtained that a large number of jurisdictions collected war
funds of substantial proportions which were lightly drawn
upon during the period of hostilities with the result that at
the present time they find themselves with an abundance of
war funds on hands.

One of the questions which naturally arises is "what shall
be done with these monies?" One thing is always noticeable
concerning the collection of funds for relief, and that is, that
somebody invariably gets a junket trip at the expense of the
fund which has been voluntarily contributed. A representative
of one of the first war relief funds which was collected has
recently made a trip overseas, visiting England and France
with a view to determining how best to spend the money on
hands. If published reports are true, the representative must
have had a delightful junket. The Grand Encampment of the
United States of America found itself possessed with a large
sum of money at the close of the war, and recently a committee
made a trip abroad to find ways and means of spending the
fund on hands. Of this committee which went abroad, it must
be said to the credit of one, tliat he paid his own expenses.

One grand lodge which collected a substantial sum has also
sent a commission overseas with a view to ascertaining how it
can best expend the monies which it has. The writer has al-
ways contended that moneys which are voluntarily contributed
for charitable purposes, should not be used to pay the junket
expense of any individual nor should a single percent of the
amount be given over to bankers or other financial agents for
handling these accounts.

The question at the present time appears to have resolved
itself into this. Certain Masonic organizations find themselves
with snms of money on hands. And great perplexity has arisen

VII

as to how an expenditure can best be made. Now that the wal-
ls over, and there appears to be a very limited demand for any
of these sums, the question of disposing of them appears to be
one which is very likely to resolve itself into waste. So far
as can be ascertained, no one has as yet suggested a pro rata
of these unexpended balances back to the sources whence they
came, or the application of them to legitimate charities and
the placing of them where they will not become the prey of
those who are ever seeking something at the expense of some-
body else.

A New Requirement

During the past year, a new question appears to be receiv-
ing the consideration of those who are ever seeking to amend
and improve Freemasonry.

Two or three grand lodges during the past year have in-
jected into their Masonic system the question of ''belief in
the immortality of the soul." They have made it not only
one of the constitutional questions, but have inserted it in the
form of a question into the petition for degrees which the
candidate must sign. This question, from a very careful study
of the evolution of Freemasonry, appears to be largely modern
and grows out of a present tendency to introduce sectarian
questions into the general regulations of the fraternity.

In the original Freemasonry which was practiced immedi-
ately after the formation of the Grand Lodge of England in
1717, nothing was said concerning a belief in the immortality
of the soul, ?nd it was not until the introduction of the legend
of the third degree in the first decade of the Eighteenth cen-
tury that this question commenced to receive consideration.
Just how far reaching the present agitation toward making be-
lief in the immortality of the soul a paramount Masonic issue
will be remains to be seen. It is a serious question as to whether
the introduction of this subject will not lead to much discus-
sion as to the interpretation which is to be placed upon this
query, and whether its consideration l^y the Masonic Fraternity
will not lead to more or less confusion.

VIII

In discussing the landmarks of Freemasonry, Roscoe Pound
of Massachusetts expresses the immortality of the soul as "the
persistence of personality," showing that men are disposed to
place a construction upon questions of this character in keeping
with their own ideas and beliefs. The result of the agitation
which is at the present time apparent concerning the injection
of this question into our Masonic system will be watched with
much interest in view of the wide spread revolution which is
taking place in religious thought.

Increased Revenue

Nearly every grand lodge which has been under review this
year has wrestled with the question of an increase in revenue.
It appears from all that can be gathered, that the resources of
grand lodges at the present time are hardly adequate to meet
the growing responsibility of the craft, and the constantly in-
creasing necessities which each year brings. As the only source
of revenue which the Masonic Fraternity has or can have, is
from the fees collected for the degrees and the dues contri-
buted by individual members, it can be readily seen that if it
is necessary to procure more funds, the end can only be ob-
tained through an increase in these two items. The general
opinion throughout the United States appears to be that the
fees charged for the degrees in most lodges are too low, and a
general minimum of $30.00 has been established in many
places, while the tendency among the most progressive grand
lodges has been to fix the lowest charge at forty or fifty
dollars.

It is beyond dispute that the dues charged by the average
lodge are too low. The grand master of California recom-
mended fixing the minimum dues of the lodges of that state
at $9.00. This, to the average Mason of course, looks like an
exhorbitant sum, but there is a growing conviction that the
time is not far distant when the minimum dues in any lodge
will be $5.00. As an institution grows older and its mem-
bers multiply, its financial responsibilities increase. Those
grand lodges which have indulged in institutional charities

IX

have found an ever growing demand for more funds with which
to carry on their work while those grand lodges which
take care of their needy with special charity funds have
also realized the necessity of increasing revenue. The truth of
the matter is that Freemasonry has taken upon itself to admin-
ister Masonic charity without ever providing for a substantial
source of revenue with which to care for these great enter-
prises in which the fraternity is concerned. It cannot be
doubted but that an increase in fees and dues is vitally neces-
sary. It is no use for members of individual lodges to com-
plain at the extra burden of a dollar or two per year in the
matter of dues. The responsibilities of the fraternity must be
met. The newcomer who petitions a Masonic lodge in this day
and age of the world, is purchasing a valuable asset. He is
becoming a partner in an already established and highly or-
ganized institution, and he should not complain at being com-
pelled to pay the price which is asked.

This is a subject which will in time, properly adjust itself
because members of the fraternity who are intelligent men,
will be brought to see that the work of the fraternity cannot
be carried forward unless financial means are provided with
which to accomplish the end desired.

Physical Qualification

One of the questions which is still paramount in the Ma-
sonic world is that of physical qualifications. There is an idea
that the requirement of physical perfection is a landmark which
no power can set aside. The writer is one of those who does
not believe that in all Freemasonry there is such a thing as a
landmark. There are certain fundamental Masonic require-
ments which distinguish Freemasonry from all other societies.
All the laws of Freemasonry are man made, and are the direct
result of the prejudices and convictions of those individuals
who contributed to Freemasonry during its two hundred years
of evolution. Mackey, the great American authority on Free-
masonry, took it upon himself to enumerate twenty-five of

what he termed, "the established landmarks of the fraternity,"
many of which have been pronounced by eminent critics to
have been merely the result of his own imagination, but in the
twenty-five enumerated by Mackey, nothing is said about
physical perfection. Roscoe Pound, whose critical analysis of
the subject of landmarks is familiar to studious Masons, makes
no mention of physical perfection as a landmark. Wm. J.
Hughan, the distinguished English historian, a man who is to-
day recognized as one of the greatest authorities on Freema-
sonry that ever lived, holds to the opinion that physical per-
fection is by no means a landmark, if such a thing exists.

The old charges of the operative fraternity from which
present Freemasonry has descended, has no practical relation
to Freemasonry of the present time. They serve merely as a
guide to modern Masonic legislation. The Halliwell MS. con-
tains this clause: "No Master should take an Apprentice un-
less he has sufficient employment for him, and unless he be a
perfect youth, having no maim or defect in his body that may
render him incapable of learning the art, of serving his Mas-
ter's Lord, and of being made a Brother, and then a Fellow
Craft in due time," etc. It is upon this section of the old
charges of the operative guilds that the present law on physical
qualifications has been based, showing conclusively that the
various doctrines held by different grand lodges are simply due
to the construction which they have placed upon this section
of the ancient charges which in the two hundred years past
have undergone various modifications and changes to suit the
individual ideas of those who were concerned in the construc-
tion of our Masonic legislation.

The time has now arrived for all grand lodges to take a
rational view of the subject of physical qualifications and to
make the mental and moral qualifications of the candidate the
basis of Masonic preferment.

€o-ordination Needed.

The greatest need of the Masonic Fraternity today is co-
ordination or unity of effort and purpose. The war is over and

XI

we are rapidly returning to a pre-war basis. As the confusion
and turmoil subsides we arc being given to sober consideration,
and are confronted with the fact that much of the effort of
Masonry that would have been of real service during the war,
failed because of lack of co-ordination. Instead of Freema-
sonry becoming a factor in war activity, we had in the United
States, forty-four separate groups, each posing as Freemasonry
and endeavoring to gain recognition in war service. Much
criticism has been directed against the War Department and
the authorities in Washington, because of the fact that Free-
masonry was not permitted to construct buildings in canton-
ments, and to become otherwise recognized among the great
institutions which sought to render service to our soldiers. It
has been contended that the refusal to permit Freemasonry to
participate in these enterprises was due to sinister influences
in Washington. The state authorities however, declared that
Freemasonry had not presented itself in organized form, and
that instead, forty-four groups of individuals, each posing as
representatives of Freemasonry, sought to engage in war acti-
vity and that it was quite impossible for the Government to
recognize one of these groups without recognizing all. The
truth about the matter is that Freemasonry failed in a way,
because it lacked central organization. Each group devised
plans all of its own and sought to carry them out without re-
gard to other Masonic interests. A fair example of this is
shown in a friendly controversy which arose between the Su-
preme Council of the southern jurisdiction and the Grand
Lodge of New York. Each organization sought to go overseas
in the interest of our soldiers, and each set up the claim of
representing the Masons of the country. It was only when these
two great institutions joined their interests, that they were
enabled to accomplish their mission.

The time has arrived in our Masonic evolution, when Free-
masonry can no longer be considered as bound l)y state rights,
or limited to groups of individuals. To secure proper recogni-
tion of the institution 'as a vital factor in human activity, there
must be organization and co-ordination of effort.

XII

In the period of reconstruction and readjustment which is
taking place, Freemasonry should divorce itself from the old
idea of state rights and commence to plan for a unity of pur-
pose. This can only be accomplished through some sort of
central organization ; call it whatever you may. Before Free-
masonry is going to gain recognition as a world force, it must
break down the barriers of jurisdiction which envelope each
grand lodge and must subscribe to a general platform of basic
principles. This does not mean the formation of any National
Grand Lodge, but it does mean that there is needed a National
Council of Administration which shall formulate a plan to
which all the grand lodges of the United States may subscribe,
and along which they may work for the best interests of Free-
masonry.

Forty-four groups of Masons each raised monies for war
purposes, and each group made expenditures which were, no
doubt, beneficial and helpful to those reached, but how much
greater would have been the benefit had all these diversified
efforts been merged into one direct purpose? Not only would
there have been financial saving, but the fraternity would have
been enabled to secure that recognition which was denied it
because of its disorganized condition.

Dr. Ralph H. Wheeler, of Chicago, had this idea in mind
when he organized the Illinois Masonic Council of Defense,
and suggested at that time the necessity of a national organiza-
tion along similar lines. He had no more than made the sug-
gestion, when a lot of Masons commenced to get out their
sledge hammers and vigorously knock the enterprise, charging
that it was merely a scheme of the promoter to exploit him-
self into a National Presidency, — a charge which bears close
kin to much of the argument against a National Grand Lodge.

George L. Schoonover, grand master of Iowa, is another
man who has lifted himself out of the Masonic rut, and last fall
called a meeting of grand masters in his state to consider ways
and means of establishing a Masonic Service Association.
Brother Schoonover has seen the necess'ity of unified Masonic
effort.

I

XIII

There is today a tremendous struggle among the Christian
churches of the world to merge into one great Church of Christ
with a central organization and a singleness of purpose. Peter
Ainslee, one of the leaders of this movement, said in this city
recently, that within five years this great movement will have
born fruition, and that there will be in this country but one
Church devoid of denominationalisni and sectarianism. This
enterprise, when presented to the Pope of Rome, was flatly
turned down because the Catholic church has today, one of the
most thoroughly organized systems of co-ordinated effort which
the world knows anything about.

It is now time for the Freemasons of the United States to
lay aside their prejudice, to forget narrow traditions of the
past, and commence to lay the foundation for a great or-
ganized effort which will make the fraternity a potent factor
in the affairs of the world.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE
ON

Masonic Correspondence

NINETEEN HUNDRED NINETEEN

DELMAR D. DARRAH

ALABAMA, A. F. & A. M.

1918

The city of Montgomery was honored by the presence of the Grand
Lodge of Alabama assembled in ninety-eighth annual meeting on Decem-
ber -i and 5, 1918.

The opening ceremonies were brief, after which Eobert H. Hague
read his annual report. He opens with extended remarks concerning the
sigiiing of the armistice and expresses great hope for the future of Free-
masonry. The first tiling he does in disclosing his acts, is to report three
decisions, all of them local in significance.

Dispensations were issued for the formation of six new lodges; one
act of consolidation was perfoi'med; and fifteen dispensations issued to
lodges to mortgage and sell property.

Alabama is liberal concerning physical qualifications, and the grand
master reports issuing dispensations to initiate candidates who were maimed,
providing they displayed the necessary mental and moral qualifications.

Four corner-stones were laid during the year; one of a postofiicc
building, the other three of school buildings.

The grand master deplores the fact that the state of Alabama stands
so far down in the list of education, and calls upon all Masons to help
remedy the conditions so far as lies in their power.

It appears that the Grand Lodge has been devoting considerable
time to the exemplification of work during its annual meetings. The
result has been to delay much important legislation until the after-
noon of the last day, at a time when many brethren have taken trains

15

16 Appendix — Part I

for their homes, thereby leaving many matters to be acted upon by a minor-
ity representation. The grand master recommended that the exemplification
of the work as a part of the grand lodge session, be changed, and that
instead, the Committee on Work report to the grand lodge such changes
as have been made during the year.

The grand treasurer reports receipts of $16,739.25, and expenditures of
$15,228.30.

The grand secretary presents a report largely of figures. A number
of lodges failed to report on a constitutional amendment submitted May
15, 1917. Tlie masters of these lodges were summoned to appear before
the grand lodge, and offer such excuses as they could conjure up as a rea-
son for their neglect of duty. A special committee was appointed by the
grand lodge to listen to the recital of the tale of woe of the delinquents.

One thing the grand secretary does for which he is to be commended
is that he prints the roll of lodges of the state showing how each lodge
voted upon the proposed constitutional amendment. The Committee on
Foreign Correspondence presented a long report, in which the subject
of recognizing numerous foreign grand lodges was presented and the rec-
ommendations of the committee adopted. Concerning the Scottish Eite
origin of many Masonic bodies, the conmiittee insists that if the fact
of derivation from the Scottish Eite must lead to the refusal of recognition —
Then to be constituent, we must not only decline Masonic

intercourse with many of the leading Masonic powers of the world,

but must withdraw recognition from some with which we are

already in fraternal relation.

As a result of the report of the committee, the Grand Orients of
Belgium and Italy, Chili, Grand Lodge of France, Grand Orient of France,
Grand Lodge of Porto Eico, Grand Lodge, Alpina, of Switzerland, were
duly recognized. Alabama is now certainly in good standing with the
grand lodges abroad.

A resolution was introduced to the effect that the recommendation
of the grand master pertaining to a discontinuance of the exemplification
of the work be not concurred in. The resolution was adopted, and those
who attend grand lodge may be assured of seeing the degrees exemplified
even if they do have to hike home before all the business is transacted.

The usual detailed report concerning Homes is presented by the Board
of Control.

The grand master makes a long report on the Iowa plan of Masonic
world service. The grand lodge, after listening to the report, endorsed
the project and concurred in the proposed project.

Masonic Correspondence 17

It appears from the report of the Committee on Jurisprudence that
in 1917 the grand lodge by resolution, fixed its official title as F. & A. M.
The change did not meet with universal approval, and the grand lodge upon
recommendation of the committee restored the title of Ancient Free and
Accepted Masons. The committee also reported favorably on a resolu-
tion requiring the grand secretary to call the roll of representatives just
before the closing of the grand lodge and to report absentees to the lodges
from which they hailed. The installation of officers and the reading of
the records closed the session.

The report on foreign correspondence is prepared by Oliver D. Street.
He accords Illinois nearly four pages of topical analysis. He quotes Grand
Master Wheeler on the question of military lodges, but refuses comment
for the reason as he states, that his judgment and feelings conflict. Con-
cerning clubs, he very pertinently asks, "Why create refuges for those
who care nothing for the lodge?" He is pleased to note that the word
"Masonic" for advertising purposes was prohibited. Concerning smoking
in lodge, he remarks that it seems strange that smokers have to be forced
to observe the ordinary rules of politeness.

Brother Street takes up the correspondence report of Charles H. Martin
topically, and thinks that Brother Martin was a little too severe in his
treatment of the Masons of South American Eepublics. He says —

We believe there are true and loyal Masons and Masonic bodies
altogether regular and worthy of recognition in Central and South
America. It should be our effort to find them, establish rela-
tions with them, and learn to understand them. Let us proceed
carefully and yet without the narrow provincialism that has so
often characterized us.

He makes a rather pointed charge that the roseate pictures drawn
by gTand masters and boards of trustees of Masonic Homes very often
times camouflage the fact that the institution is badly managed or that
it is unduly expensive, or that it threatens with an ever increasing burden
of debt.

Brother Street does not hesitate to say just exactly what he thinks,
and we cannot help but admire a man who has a mind of his own and
the courage of his convictions, and who is not afraid to speak out in
meetin'. If everybody agreed with everybody else, there would be no
real progress in the world, and it would not be long until existence
would become so prosaic as to be hardly worth anything at all.

ALBERTA, A. F. & A. M.

1919

The annual conimnnieation, the fourteenth in number, met in the
city of Calgary in the Odd Fellows Temple on the 11th day of June, 1919.
ImmediateJy after the opening ceremonies, the grand master who is styled
Most Worshipful Brother Dr. H. Darling, read an address of more than
passing interest. He has considerable to say concerning the League of
Nations and makes a plea for world fraternity. He issued twenty-three
dispensations to attend church services in Masonic clothing. One dispensa-
tion was issued permitting the initiating of a candidate under twenty-one
years of age. Concerning the general condition of Masonry, he makes the
following comment —

Perhaps the thing which impressed me as most destructive,
generally, was the spirit and work of that troublesome element
known of old as ' * Pharisees. ' ' In Masonry men make large
promises. They do so elsewhere, too, but with smaller audiences
usually. They hear these promises repeated. Masonic ideals taught
and repeated, and enlarged upon, and then suddenly a brother
offends them. His offence is personal, and immediately forgetting
their own weakness or weaknesses, they take high ground of oft'ence.
They write, and talk and enlarge, and storm, and again in act
and work say as he of old ' ' I thank Thee that I am not like other
men, not like this publican. ' ' These Pharisees were the good
men, the righteous men, the eminently superior men of their time,
and the Master's words to them were like liquid fire — "Whited
sepulchres, " " Hypocrites, " " Full of dead men 's bones. " " The
publican and the harlot go into the Kingdom of Heaven before
you. ' '

During the year as a result of the fervent appeals of the grand master,
the sum of $17,151 was added to the Benevolent Fund.

It appears that the grand lodge has prepared a new ritual which is
being issued to the lodges of the jurisdiction, and is called the York
Kite Masonry.

Concerning the question of physical qualifications, he refers to it
as one of great complexity and observes that the subject should be dealt
with cautiously and reasonable and certain allowances made.

A Jist of visitations submitted by the grand master shows that he
was not unmindful of the lodges over which he was called to govern.

The reports of the district deputy grand masters which were made
to the grand master are complete in every detail, and give evidence of
the fact that the Grand Lodge of Alberta must have a very thorough
system of district supervision. The grand secretary gives his general
receipts as $9,227 and his expenditures $10,426.

Masonic Correspondence 19

The report of the grand secretary is a long document in which he
enumerates in detail the principal business of the year. The grand lodge,
according to the report, shows a net increase in membership of 565, while
the total number of Master Masons at the present time is given as 8,922.

The grand lil)rarian i^resents a report of more than passing interest
from which the idea is gleaned that the grand lodge is making excellent
progress in the matter of Masonic education. It is to be hoped that the
good work will continue.

The grand lodge paused long enough in its services to hold a memorial
hour in memory of the brethren from the jurisdiction who had died for
king and country. One of the interesting reports presented came from
the Committee on Fraternal Eolations. It dealt with the recognition of
the Grand Lodge of France. The committee gave a very careful review
of the subject and recommended that fraternal intercourse be established
with the Masons of France. The report of the committee, however, was
laid on the table until the next meeting of the grand lodge.

The election and installation of officers was the last act of the session.

An interesting report on correspondence is made by H. Darling,
chairman of the committee. He gives Illinois almost three pages of very
generous treatment. He has many nice things to say concerning the ad-
dress of Grand Master Austin H. Scrogin, in 1918. He also quotes lib-
erally from the correspondence report of that year. However, he juggles
the name of the writer most seriously. In one place he calls him Delman
D. Darrot; in another place he calls him Barrot. There are some more
letters in the alphabet that might have been used but as long as he
didn't call him Carrot or Parrot, we suppose he should be satisfied. How-
ever, we are very grateful to Brother Darling for the many nice things
which he said.

ARIZONA, F. & A. M.

1918

The proceedings open with some very attractive pages giving the
list of Arizona Masons engaged in the war. Tlie frontispiece of this
honor roll is the American flag in colors. The grand secretary is to be
congratulated upon the very pleasing manner in which he has arranged
this subject matter.

20 Appendix — Part I

Three hundred Masons of this jurisdiction enlisted in war service
being ten percent of the total membership,

A half-tone picture adorns the proceedings, showing the grand lodge,
in the act of laying the corner-stone of a new Masonic temple being
erected in Flagstaff.

The thirty-sixth annual communication was held in the city of Tucson
February 12. The roll call disclosed representatives of twenty lodges
present out of a total of twenty-five. Past masters in Arizona must be
accorded the privileges of the grand lodge, for there were a liberal num-
ber present.

The address of the grand master, Charles C. Wolfe, was quite lengthy
and dealt with the many affairs which had come under his notice during
the year. The grand master reports the gain in membership as the
greatest in the history of the grand lodge. He states the financial con-
dition of the craft to be unusually prosperous and utters a word of
warning against extravagant expenditures of money. There were the
usual number of requests to confer degrees by courtesy.

The grand master had some trouble with lodges down on the border vis-
iting Mexican lodges. The matter, however, was satisfactorily adjusted.
From the report it appears that a clandestine organization known as the
American Masonic Confederation became quite active in Utah and threatened
to spread into Arizona. Prompt efforts on the part of grand ofiicers resulted
in curbing the efforts of this spurious organization. The grand master
reports the issuance of one dispensation for the formation of a new lodge
and nine to confer degrees out of time.

A number of questions and answers are submitted under the head of
decisions. One was to the effect that a lodge might use a limited amount
of its funds in Eed Cross work.

Concerning the question of clubs, the grand master had the follow-
iug to say —

The idea of a Masonic Club, properly conducted, is most ex-
cellent and can produce most beneficent results, but like many other
good things, if not properly handled, on right principles, may be
the source of difiiculties. In my judgment the organization of a
Masonic Club in connection with each subordinate lodge, when-
ever the members of such a lodge are in a position to properly
support the club entirely independent of the lodge, should be en-
couraged. I think it a mistake, however, to in any way make the
club a parasite on the lodge. The former should be supported
financially entirely separate from the latter and none of the lodge
funds should be used to meet the expenses of the club. A great
many such club organizations exist in connection with lodges in
other states, and the consensus of opinion where they exist seems

Masonic Correspondence 21

to be that they are beneficial not only to the members but to the
lodge.

Arizona has a system of grand lecturers and deputy grand lecturers
and every effort is being made to assist lodges in becoming proficient in
their work.

The grand master interpreted the law so as to permit lodges to remit
the dues of soldiers during the period of the war. A campaign to raise a
fund for widows and orphans of the state was discussed by the grand
master who recommended that action be postponed for the present.

The grand master reports much trouble with non-affiliated Masons,
and recommends action which will either compel these drones to unite with
lodges or keep away from Masonic activity.

Among the recommendations offered by the grand master, is one
fixing an adequate fee to be paid grand lecturers for their services. The
present amount allowed is three dollars a day. The report of the grand
secretary reviews some of the principal transactions of his office.

He draws the sum of $50 per month for his services. The grand
treasurer reports receijits of $4,500.00 and expenditures of $3,556.00. The
total resources of the grand lodge are reported as $57,905.51.

Quite a long report is made by the grand lecturer wherein is dis-
cussed the general condition of the lodges visited and instructed. Of
course this would be possible in Arizona with only twenty-five lodges. At
a previous meeting a committee was appointed on the history of Masonry
in Arizona. A report made to the grand lodge by this committee states
that up to the present time nothing had been accomplished other than
to receive from the grand matron of the Eastern Star a history of the
organization of that body. Just what that has to do with Masonry in
Arizona, is a matter of conjecture.

It is noticeable that in many of our grand lodges every little while,
some fellow breaks in with a resolution, to print a history of the granil
body, and publish same in book form.

There is a tremendous amount of money wasted in this respect. The
average lodge or grand lodge history has neither literary nor historical
value. Many Masons never take the trouble to open the pages of the
book when sent them, gratis. A volume such as this, is only valuable
to those Masons who make a business of creating libraries made up of pro-
ceedings of grand lodges, congressional records and hog reports; any-
thing in the book line which is given away.

The report of the Committee on Necrology is extremely short cov-
ering a little over a half a page. A report such as this, would be ex-

22

Appendix — Part I

tremely pleasing to our Illinois brethren, who complain so much at the
dryness and the prosy character of obituary reports.

The Committee on Jurisprudence made a short report aj^proving one
of the grand master's decisions, but disapproving several others. It is
apparent that the Committee on Jurisprudence does not propose to be
subsidized by the grand master.

A resolution establishing the grand secretary's office in the Scottish
Eito Temple at Tucson at a yearly rental of one hundred dollars was
adopted, and a committee appointed to purchase proper furnishings. Evi-
dently the grand lodge is not afraid of being contaminated by the higher
bodies when it permits the grand secretary to have his office in a build-
ing owned and operated by the Scottish Eite. There is no report on
foreign correspondence attached to the proceedings, instead there is a
detailed report of work done in the lodges together with the present
membership. A committee on foreign correspondence, however, made a
short report approving certain acts of the grand master performed in con-
nection with other grand jurisdictions.

ARKANSAS, F. & A. M.

1918

The seventy-seventh annual communication was held in Grand Lodge
Hall, Masonic Temple, in the city of Little Eock on Tuesday, November
19, 1918.

The grand lodge convened at 10:00 a. m. and after the usual opening
formalities, the grand master, Milton Winham, presented his address. He
opened with an extended discourse in which he spoke of Freemasonry his-
torically and symbolically.

One corner-stone was laid during the year, that of a Methodist church.
One past grand master, the venerable A. G. Washburn, passed to his
reward.

TTie report of Charles C. Hunt, Grand Eepresentative of the Grand
Lodge of Arkansas, near the Grand Lodge of New York, is reported
in full. Brother Hunt is one of those grand representatives who fulfills
his duty to the best of his ability.

Masonic Correspondence 23

Grand Master Winham reiDorts a long list of dispensations granted
for various purposes. He comments on the fact that many lodges seem
to hold to the idea that any man accepted for war service is good enough
to be a Mason, and therefore, the grand master should waive all restric-
tions and ceremonials as much as possible and thereby expedite the process
of making Masons. The grand master, however, was not easily stam-
peded, and laid down certain regulations which had to be followed where
military considerations were urgent.

The grand master states that Arkansas did its full share of conferring
degrees by courtesy.

Concerning trouble in lodges, the grand master ventures the sug-
gestion that it would be much better if all lodges settled their differences
privately rather than by making them public through lodge trials.

The grand master made several decisions. One was to the effect
that it is not proper for a Mason to ask a lodge to make him an hon-
orary member. He also decided that the charter of a lodge should always
be present in the lodge room and that a visiting brother, after exam-
ination, had the right to demand to see the charter which must be
present to answer this demand. The Committee on Masonic Law how-
ever, disapproved of the decision and reported that a visitor has not the
right to demand to see the charter either before or after examination,
and the grand lodge adopted the report of the committee.

Another decision which the grand master made and which received
the approval of the grand lodge was to the effect that a lodge cannot
accept the petition of a man who docs not believe in the immortality
of the soul. It is believed that in this last decision, the grand lodge
of Arkansas has departed from the original plan of Masonry which con-
templated a belief in God, but which left out of consideration all sectarian
questions.

A large percentage of sincere, thoughtful, men do not l)clieve in the
immortality of the soul as is usually construed by the average churchman.
Ask one hundred men to give you their conception or understanding of
the immortality of the soul and one will be much surprised at the di-
versity of answers, and it will be quite impossible to reconcile many of
them with the narrow idea usually held by the average denomination.

This is a question which must be left to the conscience of the indi-
vidual. Our business as Masons is to live up to the moral standards and
teachings of the fraternity, leaving the future to take care of itself.

The grand master made seven recommendations to the grand lodge,
among them the following: That in the absence of the three principal

24 Appendix — Part I

officers, a past master in good standing, may officiate at a Masonic funeral;
that the fees for the degrees, be not more than sixty dollars and not
less than twenty-five; that the time limit over rejected material be re-
duced from five to one year; that in conferring degrees by courtesy
one-half of the amount charged by the lodge having jurisdiction, shall
go to the lodge doing the work. This provision, if adopted, would abro-
gate the idea of courtesy on the part of a lodge doing work for another,
and makes the whole affair a business transaction.

The grand master makes eighteen suggestions to the grand lodge,
all of which show him to be a thinking man with the best interests of the
fraternity at heart. Many of his suggestions are excellent and ought to
claim the attention of the grand lodge.

Dispensations for the formation of two new lodges were issued dur-
ing the year. A little trouble was had with the Cerueau Eite but the
grand master sent a letter to the lodges warning them against this spur-
ious organization with the result that no further difficulty was experienced.

One thing the grand master did was to prepare a questionnaire which
he sent to the district deputies to be filled out during lodge visitations.
The purpose of this questionnaire was to arrive at some idea of the gen-
eral condition of Masonry.

' Now, if the grand lodge will take these rejjorts, thoroly analyze them,
and then start out after those lodges which are failing to maintain a
proper standard, we may reasonably hope for a vast improvement in the
general conditions of the lodges in the Arkansas jurisdiction.

Immediately following the address of the grand master, the grand
representatives were assembled west of the altar and were accorded the
gi'and honors of Masonry.

The report of the grand secretary. Fay Hempstead, is a complete re-
sume of the affairs of his office. He states that the prosperity among the
lodges has been unprecedented.

The grand treasurer gives his receipts as $39,677.90 and his expendi-
tures $37,499.05.

The grand lodge fixed the mileage of representatives at six cents per
mile one way, plus war tax, and the per diem at three dollars per day.

Greetings were sent to the Grand Orient of Belgium with which
Arkansas has long been in fraternal relationship.

The Board of Trustees of the Masonic Home make a detailed report.
The number of the children in the home at the present time, is eighty.
On the evening of the first day, according to usual custom, the grand

Masonic Correspondence 25

lodge held an open session, at which the Grand Chapter of the Order of
the Eastern Star was present. The address was delivered by the grand
orator, J. C. Pinnix. He had something to say about the war, but for
the most part he applied the symbolism of the fraternity to present day
life. He is to be commended for not having made any statements con-
cerning the fraternity which would not bear the searchlight of truth. Fol-
lowing the address, the grand matron of the Eastern Star was introduced,
and responded in a fitting manner.

A report on foreign correspondence, covering three and a quarter pages,
was presented to the grand lodge. It was simply a brief review of the
principal events in the Masonic world during the year just closed. This
same committee, made an extended report on the question of recognizing
the Grand Lodge of France. Immediately following its presentation, a
motion was made that the Grand Lodge of France be recognized. An
amendment was offered that the question of recognition be postponed,
but that members in the service be permitted to fraternize with the
Masons in France. A substitute was then offered and adopted that the
subject be recommitted and a report made the next session of the grand
lodge.

An amendment letting down the bars on physical qualifications, was
presented and referred to a committee to report next year.

The installation of officers and the presentation of the jewel con-
cluded the work of the grand lodge.

Arkansas offers no extended correspondence report, wherein each state
is treated individually. There is, therefore, no way to judge the opinion
which our brethren of the jurisdiction hold concerning the other jurisidic-
tions about them.

BRITISH COLUMBIA, A. F. & A. M.

1919

The City of Vancouver entertained the Grand Lodge of British Colum-
bia on Thursday, June 19, 1919. It was the forty-eighth annual com-
munication. The opening ceremonies were brief, after which the grand
master, John Shaw, made a short address to the grand lodge. He speaks
of the victory which has been achieved by the allied nations, and pays an
extended tribute to the dead of his own and other grand jurisdictions.

26 Appendix — Part I

Monroe C. Crawford, of Illinois, is mentioned with the date of his
decease.

The grand master reports the usual number of dispensations, and re-
ports the formation of one new lodge. He quotes ten rulings, the most
of which pertain to physical qualifications. He says that he was unable
to visit very many lodges owing to circumstances over which he had no
control. His address covers just exactly six pages, and is one of the
shortest grand master's addresses that has been received up to date.

The deputy grand master makes a brief report dealing almost exclu-
sively with official visits made by him during the year.

The grand treasurer gives his receipts as practically $9,500 and his
expenditures something in the neighborhood of $6,000.

The report of the grand secretary informs us in detail the various by-
laws approved, as well as dispensations issued. One table in his report
is interesting. It is a financial statement of the lodges of the jurisdiction,
showing the funds and property held by them and the amount expended
for charity. Eighty-two lodges show outstanding dues of $28,070.80. The
increase in membership for the year was 12, and the present number of
lodge members 7,963.

The reports of the district deputy grand masters are of more than
passing interest and go much into detail concerning the various acts per-
formed by them during the year.

The grand historian submits a report which deals altogether with the
local history of the lodges of the jurisdiction. The Grand Lodge of
British Columbia maintains no Masonic Home, but administers its charity
quite generously through a committee.

The salary of the grand secretary was fixed at $1,800 a year,

A special committee on the reports of district deputy grand masters
claims attention for the reas^on that the papers of these officers are very
carefully gone over and all recommendations and suggestions arranged and
presented to the grand lodge in a concrete form.

The principal business transacted at this meeting was largely routine.
From the report on the installation of officers, the idea is gleaned that
the district deputy grand masters are elected and installed the same as
are other officers of the grand lodge.

The report on foreign correspondence is prepared by the Grand Sec-
retary W. A. DeWolf Smith. He quotes very generously what Grand
Master Scrogin had to say concerning the recognition of the Masons of
France. He apparently didn't like the idea of Grand Master Scrogin

Masonic Correspondence 27

visiting Corner Stone Lodge of Chicago and conferring the third degree
on the grand master of the Odd Fellows, and suggests that probably next
year the grand master of the Knights of Columbus will be selected for
this honor.

Concerning the correspondence report which appeared in the pro-
ceedings of 1918, Brother Smith commented freely, and while he didn't
agree with all that the correspondent had to say, yet he was disposed to
give him credit for discussing some live subjects "forcibly and inter-
estingly."

CALIFORNIA, F. & A. M.

1918

The annual communication was held in the city of San Francisco
with representatives of three hundred twenty-seven chartered lodges present.

Prior to the opening ceremonies, the American flag was borne into
the presence of the grand lodge by a sergeant of the United States
Marine Corps, accompanied by a color guard. There is no reason why
the presentation of the American flag should not be made a jiart of the
opening ceremonies of all grand lodges and their constituents.

A telegram was read to the grand lodge announcing that Germania
Lodge of Los Angeles had changed its name to Acacia Lodge, and here-
after would work in the English language.

William E. Harvey, presented a report as grand master which is an
unusually interesting document. Like all grand masters, he has consid-
erable to say about the war and its efl'ect upon the lodges of the state.
He reports constituting three new lodges and laying corner-stones of two
high school buildings, and one Masonic temple. He also dedicated three
Masonic temples. The grand master states that he issued large numbers
of dispensations but confines himself to those sanctioned by law. He re-
ports the net gain in membership to be 3991, the largest in the history
of the grand lodge. He comments upon the general condition of the
lodges of the state and calls attention to a considerable number that are
eking out a precarious existence. He suggests as a remedy, that these
weak lodges consolidate with their neighbors, thereby increasing the cfTi-
ciency of the craft. He recommends that the grand lecturer and inspec-

28 Appendix — Part I

tors give this subject earnest consideration and where consolidations will
be to the best interests of the fraternity, to see that they are carried out.

The grand master states to the grand lodge that the one thing which
impressed him most during his year of office was the need for greater
educational and social functions on the part of lodges. He rightly says
that a lodge which devotes its time entirely to conferring degrees and is
neglecting the educational and fraternal side of the fraternity, is shirking
its responsibility. The grand master must have kept in pretty close touch
with Masonic conditions, for he reports visiting over one hundred lodges
during the year. He even went to the Hawaiian Islands and spent a de-
lightful two mouths among the Masons of this outpost of American civil-
ization.

The gi-and master reports an appeal made to him by the father of a
l)oy who had died overseas that the body might be brought to this country
and properly interred. Tte grand master failed in his efforts owing to
the rules of the War Department which prohibit the transfer of bodies
until after the close of hostility. He states, however, that the graves of
all of those who died in England and Scotland are being carefully looked
after by our Scotch and English brethren, an example of Masonic fraternity
which is world wide.

Grand Master Harvey renders four exhaustive decisions. One of them
is interesting. He decided that it was not proper for a grand lodge
to dedicate a hall which is not owned or controlled by a Masonic lodge.
We are disposeci to agree most heartily with Brother Harvey in this
decision. No grand lodge should dedicate to the uses of Freemasonry a
room which is merely a commercial premise rented to various societies.
The good Mason is always shocked at the desecration of places of Masonic
meeting. The writer well remembers assisting in the dedication of a
Masonic hall which seven years later passed out of the control of the
fraternity and within three months the same hall was raided by the police
because of a prize fight which was taking place in the room.

The grand master has considerable to say about the Masonic homes
of the state. One-half million dollars is invested requiring an exjrtendi-
ture of ninety thousand in maintenance. The homes are at the present
time facing a deficit of thirteen thousand dollars, which the grand master
recommends being met by per capita tax in order that the deficiency may
be covered. The war funds raised by the lodges of the state totals
sixty-six thousand dollars, a small part of which was expended in various
ways looking toward the assistance of the soldiers. The grand master
refers to the many acts of kindness rendered by the Swiss Masons to the
Masons of California, notwithstanding the fact that the Grand Lodge of

Masonic Correspondence 29

California has been at no time in fraternal correspondence with the Grand
Lodge of Switzerland.

California must have had some trouble with clandestine Masonry, for
the grand master in his report made special mention of the services ren-
dered by Henry Owens in stamping out this spurious clan.

Among the recommendations made to the grand lodge were the amend-
ing of the laws in such a manner as to require a stricter effort on the
part of investigating committees in looking up proposed candidates, also
requiring lodges to properly bond their secretaries and treasurers.

The grand master also recommended that no lodge be permitted to
invest any of its funds in the purchase of lands or the erection of build-
ings without the consent of a majority of the members of the Finance
Committee of the grand lodge.

The grand master has gone a little too far in this recommendation
and is striking directly at the liberties of the lodge. Inasmuch as the
lodge earns the funds which it expends, it has a right to state the way
and manner that it desires to invest them without interference on the
part of the grand lodge. TTie grand master recommended that the mini-
mum dues for members of lodges be fixed at $9.00.

Good Heavens ! Wouldn 't the Masons of Illinois get up on their hind-
quarters and paw the air if somebody were to suggest fixing the annual
dues at $9.00 per year? Bill Smith, who belongs to the lodge at Fourcorners
and who has never paid over a dollar and a quarter per year annual dues,
would immediately declare that something was radically wrong with the
grand lodge and that there was a tremendous leakage somewhere if it was
necessary to collect $9.00 from the members in order to keep going.

The conclusion of the grand master is long, but it is good. He sums
up the activity of Masonry in the world and expresses the hope that having
outlived many wars and revolutions, that it will continue to bless man-
kind long after the ravages of the present strife have been forgotten.

A detailed report of the War Fund collected by the grand lodge
follows, which shows the total disbursements to have been $7,462. The
report of the grand treasurer shows that he received from the grand sec-
retary $73,220.93 and disbursed $77,740.29.

The grand secretary presents quite a long report in which he covers
many details usually reported by the grand master. This shows that
the grand secretary keeps in close touch with degrees conferred by courtesy,
dispensations, approval of by-laws, and many other similar items. Ac-
cording to the report, twenty lodges in California have a membership of
five hundred or more. In looking over the list of expenditures, it is noticed

30 Appendix — Part I

that the grand lodge has a grand organist paying him the munificent salary
of $60.00 per annum.

The grand lecturer makes a report to the grand lodge which shows
that that official has been thoroughly alert and attending to his duties.
He states that he visited and instructed nearly every lodge in the
state. He calls attention to the fact that he found officers and brethren
having in their possession, cipher rituals issued by a publishing company
in New York City, said books claiming to be the California work. It
is believed that a little checking up in Illinois along the same line would
cause somewhat of an awakening.

The report of the Masonic Temple Association, shows the debt on
the Masonic temple at the present time to be $215,000, and because of
the heavy interest charge, the temple is not at this time self-sustaining.

The report of the custodians of the Masonic home is a long one,
and should bring to the Masons of California a clear idea of the situa-
tion of the fraternity in that state, as relates to Masonic charity.

The annual oration was delivered by Charles Victor, grand orator,
in which he discussed the reconstruction of Freemasonry as a result of the
late war.

And now comes the interesting event of the session showing how care-
fully the friends of French Masonry prepared the minds of the brethren
for what was to follow. Just previous to the report of the Committee
on French Masonry, a Frenchman and a member of one of the California
lodges, sang the Marseillaise accompanied by organ and drum, then ap-
peared a brother bearing the tricolor of France followed by the grand
standard bearer of the grand lodge with the Stars and Stripes. Meeting
at the altar, these two flags were crossed symbolizing the close union
of France and the United States. Then followed a lengthy report from
the committee. Just one paragraph will be quoted because of its truth-
fulness and for the reason that the information may be new to many
brethren w-ho honestly believe that Masonry today is just the thing as
it was two hundred years ago or even in the time of Solomon the Wise.
This is what the committee said —

Eeligious dogmatism was not introduced into Masonry until
1760, when the Holy Bible was, on motion of Preston, made a land-
mark, and as dear as this alleged landmark is to the hearts of
American Masons, we can not thrust outside the pale of brother-
hood good men and true who have not followed this innovation in
the body of Masonry. The form and nature of our rituals as the
same have developed through the years have operated to fix in the
minds of English-speaking Masons the belief that Masonry is a
religious institution, and that the Bible is a necessary part of the
furniture of a Masonic lodge, yet the ritual itself is not funda-

Masonic Correspondence 31

mental, and "its biblical nature is largely due to the chance that
made its chief comjtilers a French Huguenot and a Scotch Presby-
terian. . . . This holy and apparently indispensable book is quite
unnecessary for the validity of a lodge which is neither Christian
nor Jew. ' ' If there has been a departure from the Ancient Consti-
tutions, we, and not our French brethren, have drawn away from
them and asserted a dogmatic landmark.

The result was that the Grand Lodge of California voted unanimously
to recognize the Grand Lodge of France as well as the Grand Orient of
France when it receives assurances that the latter organization is not
invading the jurisdiction of any regular American Grand Lodge.

The report of the Masonic Employment Bureau of San Francisco is
interesting. Two thousand six hundred and ninety applied for positions.
All of them with the exception of fifty-five w^ere furnished employment.

The Los Angeles Board of Masonic Relief gives a long list of Masons
who died in that vicinity and were given Masonic attention. Sixteen
were from the state of Illinois.

In the list of disbursements, the report shows that $722.78 were ex-
pended in the care of Illinois Masons and their families, but the board
were only reimbursed to the amount of $549.14.

The following extract is taken from the report of the Committee
on Finance. No comment is offered by the writer for the reason that he
knows nothing of the circumstances.

Your committee has had under consideration the claim of El
Centro Lodge No. 384, of El Centro, for reimbursement for ex-
penses amounting to $252.20 incurred for the relief of Brother
Isaac Harry Todd, a member of Gothic Lodge No. 852, of East St.
Louis, State of Illinois.

It appears from the correspondence that Brother Todd was
brought to the hospital in El Centre with a serious case of dropsy,
that the officers of El Centro Lodge wired Gothic Lodge of the
serious condition of the brother, and received an answer to give
Brother Todd whatever assistance they deemed necessary and draw
a draft on Gothic Lodge for the amount. El Centro Lodge fol-
lowc<l instructions to the letter, but when the draft was drawn
for the balance due for $252.20, payment was refused, and El
Centro Lodge has ever since been trying to secure the refund of
the above amount.

Our grand secretary has written the grand secretary of Illinois
in regard to this matter, but so far no reply has been received.
The date of the grand secretary 's letter being September 20th,
1918. We offer the following resolution and recommend its
adoption :

Eesolved, Tliat El Centro Lodge No. 384 be reimbursed in the
sum of $252.20, being the amount of indebtedness incurred for the

32 Appendix — Part I

relief of Brother Isaac Harry Todd, a member of Gothic Lodge
No. 852, of East St. Louis, State of Illinois.

The Committee on Jurisprudence agreed with the gi-and master in
nearly all of his decisions and recommendations. The committee, how-
ever, did not like the idea of the Finance Committee of the Grand Lodge
regulating the purchasing powers of lodges, and reported adversely on the
proposition. One of the best papers presented to the grand lodge was
from the Committee on Masonic Education. We wish that space permitted
quoting it in full, because it shows the vital necessity of those lodges
which are merely degree mills changing their policy if they expect to
be of any use in the world. In order to propagate Masonic education the
committee suggested the following plans —

First: That lodges throughout this jurisdiction co-operate
with the LTnited States Government by inviting at frequent inter-
vals, members of the fraternity who are enrolled as ' ' Four Min-
ute Men" to address them. Application can readily be made in
most practical fashion of the duties as we owe as Masons and
citizens. We can thus perform a patriotic duty and give to our
gatherings an added interest.

Second: That lodges throughout this jurisdiction organize a
corps of Masonic speakers, following the same system as that em-
ployed by the Four Minute Men's organization, but devoted to the
discussion of purely Masonic subjects.

Third : That lodges throughout this jurisdiction hold meetings
now and then to be known as a " Masonic Forum, ' ' where an ad-
dress will be given, followed by a general discussion.

Fourth: That joint meetings be held by several lodges in a
community, to be addressed by some well informed Mason. We
believe that the influence of such meetings will result in immeasur-
able good.

Fifth: That the Committee on Masonic Education exercise a
helpful influence toward all lodges who desire their counsel and
co-operation. That this committee shall foster and encourage
throughout this jurisdiction, the study and research of Masonic
history, law, philosophy and especially the doviinant purposes of
this institution.

The grand lodge wrestled with the group plan of initiation. Quite
a lengthy report was made by a committee on the subject which finally
concluded with the statement that Masonry wanted quality and not quant-
ity. As a result, an amendment was offered prohibiting lodges from con-
ferring more than three degrees at one meeting and requiring a lapse
of one month between the time of the degrees. The amendment, how-
ever, was not adopted. An amendment to the effect that a daughter of a
deceased Master Mason shall not be entitled to relief after reaching the
age of twenty-one, was defeated. The age limit is unknown to Masonic

Masonic Correspondence 33

charity. An amendment reducing the age limit on candidates was de-
feated. An amendment was offered prohibiting any lodge from spending
more than $35.00 for a past master's jewel and not more than $10.00 for
a floral piece for a deceased brother, and the grand lodge promptly voted
them both down. This was simply another attempt to meddle in the pri-
vate affairs of lodges.

The installation of officers and presentation of a bronze clock to the
retiring grand master, closed the session.

The report on correspondence is presented by John Douglas Murphy.
He follows the topical plan which Edward Cook of Illinois, used when
correspondent for this state. TTae principal items which he discusses are
things growing out of the war, and their reception and treatment by the
various grand lodges. The topical plan as followed by Brother Murphy
has been frequently tried out, 'but for some reason correspondents hark
back to the established plan of considering each state individually.

1918

The 63d annual communication was held in the city of Windsor, On-
tario, July 17-18, 1918, TTie mayor of the city welcomed the grand
lodge and the grand master responded. The Committee on Credentials
reported 327 lodges represented out of a total of 463, and the number of
votes accredited 1,478, Tlie grand master, W. H, Wardrope, presents an
address covering 14 printed pages. In his opening remarks he alludes to
the 66,000 Freemasons in Canada and the honor which he feels in pre-
siding over this splendid body of men. He commends the work which
Freemasons have done in the great war, and believes it to be one of
the reasons why so many men are seeking to join the fraternity at the
present time. The grand master states that the receipts of the grand
lodge were 85,452, an increase of $19,560 over the previous year. The
total a!=sets of the grand lodge are given at a quarter of a million. Five
hundred and ninety-three dispensations were issued, of which 230 were
for the purpose of conferring degrcs within time limit upon enlisted men.
A hundred were to attend divine services. Forty-five rulings and decisions
are reported by the grand master. Most of these decisions appear to
be merely constructions of local law and in them there is nothing out of

34 Appendix — Part I

the ordinary. The grand master states that he made fifty official visita-
tions, and found the craft to be in a harmonious condition, full of patriot-
ism and endeavoring to uphold the teachings of the fraternity. The grand
treasurer reports disbursements of $82,258 of which $34,000 was in
benevolence.

From the report of the grand secretary it is learned that dispensa-
tions were issued for the formation of six new lodges while eight lodges
were formally dedicated. The grand secretary keeps an accurate record
of all dispensations issued and the purposes for which granted. One
report which is presented is of more than passing interest. It is on the
condition of Masonry. It is a very able document and contains many
excellent things for the delectation of the Masons of Canada. Concerning
physical qualifications the following observation is made —

And shall we for any obsolete operative doctrine of physical
perfection (not an ancient landmark), debar these glorious men,
on their return, maimed and wounded in our cause from par-
ticipation in our rites, from entry within our portals? Grand
lodge should consider this immediately. Our house is like the
church — not made with hands — first, the natural and afterwards
that which is spiritual. Freemasonry the freest of all methods
of thought cannot be bound by unamendable rules of Medes and
Persians. New occasions teach new duties; evolution is not
revolution. Let us weigh ourselves in the balance with those who
returning say with one ' ' Keeper of the House ' ' gone.

Concerning a closer friendship between Great Britain and America
the following is stated —

To make peace with this awful thing unconquered, would
be treason. Tieir victory would be a reversal to mediaevalism,
our civilization would fall back to the condition of the jungle.
And let us remember that Canada is the stake. This is a moment
fraught with fate, so let us determine our wills and highly resolve
that our dead shall not have died in vain, that we will support
and strengthen to the end those war-worn and heroic soldiers who
bear the brunt of the conflict, who are in jeopardy every hour,
who die daily; who have written pages of chivalrous and happy
warriors, American and British, now standing shoulder to shoulder,
foot to foot, in one column of mutual defence and support. Their
spirit of comradeship will endure long after the trumpets sound
the paens of victorious peace. British, Canadian and American
Masons have been drawn very close together during the past year
and the interchange of fraternal visits has cemented friendship
and confirmed mutual regard. Canadians have been especially hon-
ored for the sake of those God-inspired and death-defying men,
the spirit of whose unconquerable soul permeates, feels, invigorates,
vitalizes, unifies the Army Corps of Canadians, who for four
long years have fought a good fight, have never budged, and have
not yet finshed their course. And for ourselves let us win good-
will by good faith, good fellowship, good words, and good works.

Masonic Correspondence 35

In some countries Masonry is honored for the enemies she has
made, but in ours, for the friends.

The committee express great pleasure at the deliverance of Jerusalem
for they say —

An historical event of momentous import to Masons was
the deliverance of Jerusalem from the oppression of the Turks,
whose Armenian atrocities quite equal those of their allied mis-
creant murderers. The entrance of General Allenby on foot at the
head of the British army was significant — ' ' Do you come in
peace?" "I come in peace," and he entered within the gates
of the Holy City. No shot was fired, no clash of arms, no ring of
metal heard. That the Union Jack, with its Christian crosses
floats over the Hill of Hills, and the "Land of the Two Elvers,"
and that Joppa is a British naval base with the Eed Cross ad-
miral 's flag flying, is a source of supreme satisfaction to all na-
tions, save that trinity of iniquity whose destructive power for
evil must be exterminated root and branch. In Jerusalem, as elso-
v/hei'e, what we have we 'U hold, as a sacred trust and a pledge
of the just and lasting peace which we shall achieve and cherish.
This is the last crusade. It is worth remembering in our dark
days that not one inch of British soil is in the hand of the Hun.

Tliere is much else in this report which commends itself to the reader.
But we must pass on. M. W. W. McFerson, grand master of Michigan
was present and was accorded the grand honors of Masonry. A cable
was sent to King George V conveying greetings and a pledge of allegiance.
Practically the last business of the session was the report of the Sj^ecial
Committee on the Grand Master's Address. This report resembles very
much that of the Committee on Jurisprudence in Illinois for the various
acts and rulings of the grand master were passed upon and their validity
adjudged. Practically the last thing the grand lodge did was to send
a telegram of sympathy to Colonel Koosevelt because of the death of his
gallant Quentin Eoosevelt.

The report on foreign correspondence is made by A. T. Freed and
Illinois receives two pages of courteous review. The principal acts of
our grand lodge were recited without comment. He replies to Charles H.
Martin by saying that the Grand Lodge of Canada permits dual member-
ship and asks "if there is such a thing as a landmark in Masonry is not
dual membership a landmark ? ' '

COLORADO, A. F. & A. M.

1918

The 58th annual meeting was held in the city of Denver, Tuesday,
September 17, 1918. The grand lodge was opened after which the Ameri-
can flag and the standard of the allied countries were duly presented
with appropriate music and addresses. After this very interesting and
inspiring ceremony the roll of deceased grand masters was called and
as each name was announced the grand master made an appropriate
response. At the roll call of grand representatives which immediately
followed, Illinois was responded to by William W. Cooper. The address
of the Grand Master L. D. Grain, shows him to be alert and attentive
to his duties. He opens with references to the war. He reports the
purchase of $10,000 worth of Liberty bonds and expresses the regret
that his activities in war service prevented him from visiting as many
of the lodges of the state as he would like to have done. The list
of dispensations which he issued is an extremely long one. Most of
them appear to have been to cover conditions growing out of the war.

A number of dispensations were refused showing that the grand
master did not grant every request that came to him. He takes occasion
to give dilatory secretaries a rap in the following —

There is one dark spot, however, on the white page, and this
may account in some measure for the condition of the craft in cer-
tain lodges. Some of our secretaries either do not appreciate the
value of promptness, or they do not have the welfare of the institu-
tion at heart. It requires our grand secretary to write several
letters and even to use the telegraph wires or the telephone in order
to get some secretaries to file their reports. This means several
days, and sometimes weeks, of delay as well as an expenditure of
time and funds. A good, live secretary is the life of a lodge. Per-
mit me to suggest to our representatives that they insist on the
secretaries doing their work promptly. If they refuse, then see to it
that some brother is elected who will. I would suggest further that
in writing for a dispensation the secretaries comply with Section
145 of the Book of Constitutions. It will save the grand master a
great deal of time.

Two grand masters died during the year, the funeral services Ijeing
conducted by the grand lodge, a procedure which the writer looks upon
as eminently proper.

It too often happens that an officer of a grand body dies and his
funeral is left to the care of his lodge and immediate friends. In the
case of grand officers and past grand officers it is fitting that the grand
officers of the grand lodge be convened and the expenses of those in
attendance paid. Four corner-stones were laid by the grand master dur-

Masonic Correspondence 37

ing the year, three were of high school buildings and one a federal struc-
ture. One decision was made in answer to a question whether sitting in
a Chapter of the Eastern Star constituted sufficient evidence to vouch for
a man as being a Master Mason. The grand master decided no.

Of course he couldn't say anything else and keep within the prov-
inces of the ancient regulations of the fraternity. There are, however,
members of the society who are so assiduous in their devotion to the
Eastern Star that not only would they have said yea to the question
proposed but would even make membership in the Twinkler society pre-
requisite to Masonic standing. The grand master advanced the thought
that owing to the large amount of work incurred by reason of the war
lodges were justified in exacting compensation where work was done by
courtesy. Concerning the Masonic Eesearch Committee, appointed at the
last meeting of the grand lodge, the grand master states that no appro-
priation having been made to finance the project desirable progress in
the enterprise had not been made.

An edict was issued by the grand master lifting the ban on French
Masonry to the extent that Colorado Masons in overseas service were per-
mitted to fraternize with French Masons. The grand master declined
to issue permission to form a military lodge, for the reason that it was
impossible to so organize the Colorado units, as to insure sufficient can-
didates to maintain a military lodge, also, because the laws of jurisdiction
should be safeguarded. The grand master shows himself to be very sound
on this proposition. The grand master reports that the State Council of
Defense submitted to the various fraternal orders a flag presentation
ceremony, and asked that it be considered by the custodian of the work.
Grand Master Pane was also solicited to join in the Salt Lake City
proposition for a universal Masonic emblem. He submitted the proposi-
tion to the grand lodge for their disjaosition. The grand treasurer re-
ports receipts of $31,894 and disbursements of $25,149, showing that the
grand lodge is operating at a substantial profit.

The report of the grand secretary, Charles H. Jacobson, is largely
numerical. The present membership is given at 20,245. The net in-
crease for the year was approximately 1,100. An amendment requiring
the grand lecturer to instruct and examine lodge officers in the laws
of Masonry was reported on by the Committee on Jurisprudence, who
held that to pass such an amendment would be to interfere with the pres-
ent laws regulating the duties of the grand lodge.

The Grand Lodge of Colorado does not maintain a home or other-
wise indulge in institutional charity. It docs, however, create a sub-
stantial benovolcnt fund from which it paid relief during the year in
22 individual cases to the amount of $2,080.

38 Appendix — Part I

The questiou of recognizing the Grand Lodge of France ^as brought
up and action deferred for one year. The report of the Committee
on Necrology is a long one, and is embelished Tvith half-tone portraits of
prominent Masons who died during the year. A short spicy oration was
delivered by Marshall H. Van Fleet. A proposition to erect monuments
to two deceased past grand masters recommended that the plan
to erect a suitable statue in some civic city of Denver, in memory of
Henry M. Teller be deferred for the present, but that in the case of John
Chivington, who lies in an unmarked grave that the grand lodge authorize
the erection of a marker in keeping with the Masonic standing of the
deceased. Three members of the Jurisprudence Committee made a report
giving the grand master a clean bill of health except as to dispensations
issued. On this subject, the committee divided, two members presenting
a majority report and one, a minority report. The minority report, which
found fault with some of the dispensations issued was adopted by the
grand lodge. A resolution was approved providing for the appointment
of five to make inquiry as to the advisability of terminating fraternal
relations with the various grand lodges in the German empire.

The grand lodge waived the per capita tax on all soldiers and sailors
exempted by their lodges from the payment of dues. The proposition to
adopt a universal Masonic emblem did not find favor with the grand
lodge and went into the discard. The custodians of the work reported
that they had not sufficient time to give the flag ceremonial proper con-
sideration and asked that the subject be laid over for one year. The
Committee on Masonic Eesearch suggested a plan of libraries, study clubs
and lectures as a means to the desired end. It is pleasing to note
in the list of appointed officers the name of James L. Goodheart as
grand chaplain. Jim is an old Bloomiugton, 111., boy. If the writer
remembers correctly he made him a Master Mason. Jim Goodheart gave
up many of those things in life which are dear to the average man and
devoted his energies to the upbuilding of fallen mankind. He has done
a noble work and in his selection as grand chaplain the Grand Lodge
of Colorado made merited recognition.

The report on foreign correspondence is in the hands of a committee
of which Stanley C. Warren is chairman. Illinois comes in for four pages
of commendatory remarks. The principal transactions of our 1917 meet-
ings are recited with liberal quotations from the address of Grand Master
Wheeler. There is neither comment or criticism in the report from which
we may draw the conclusion that our Colorado brethren are well satis-
fied with the way we are conducting Masonry in the state of Illinios.

CONNECTICUT, F. & A. M.

1919

On February 5, 1919, the one hundred and thirty-first annual com-
munication of the Grand Lodge of Connecticut was opened in the city
of Hartford.

Following the rei:)ort of the Committee on Credentials, the grand
master, William F. English, read his annual address. Like all grand
masters, he has something to say concerning the war and refers to the
interment of Old John Barley Corn. In referring to a saloonless
nation in 1920, he makes the comment, "Surely God reigns." He com-
mends the George Washington Memorial Association and reports the
constitution of one new lodge during the year. He reports in full the
account rendered by the nine district deputy grand masters. He speaks
of the interest manifested, "in our revised ritual," from which it is ap-
parent that the Grand Lodge of Connecticut has been fixing up its ritual
in the most approved fashion. It is refreshing to find a grand lodge
which docs not regard the ritual as the sine qua non of Freemasonry.
The purpose of the ritual is merely to convey the teachings of the
fraternity. It is not a sacred thing which King Solomon gave to the
world as many seem to suppose and which has been handed from time
immemorial in its present form. All the ritual that we have is the work
of the last hundred years and is simply an amplification of the very
simple ceremonies employed in the year 1717 when the present system
of Masonry took definite form.

The grand master issued 154 dispensations. He refused all requests
from lodges to confer degrees on Sunday and declined to permit the
initiation of candidates under age. He is evidently a believer in the
old law of physical perfection, for he says that a grand master cannot
supjdy a bodily deficiency.

He decided that a contribution from the funds of a lodge for the
benefit of the Eed Cross was within the bounds of Masonic charity and
was proper. His decision on this subject is correct.

Within the bounds of reason and prudence it is the province
of the lodge to determine the objects of its charity. The limits
of Masonic charity have never been defined and our ritual itself
forcibly teaches us that the whole world has a claim upon us.
Therefore, I believe as far as Masonic law and custom is con-
cerned the lodge is justified in making a reasonable contribution
to these causes.

The grand master found time to visit a number of the lodges of
his jurisdiction. It is a matter of regret that grand masters are not

40 Appendix — Part I

so situated that they can devote a major portion of their time to calling
ujion the various lodges under their care. The craft like to see the
grand master, and a world of good could be accomplished were it possi-
ble for this officer to maintain a personal touch with the lodge officers
of his jurisdiction.

One Connecticut lodge w'orking in a foreign language, advised the
grand master that during the period of the war they would work in
English, but that when peace came, they would return to their usual
'•outine. The grand master, however, was not satisfied and recommended
that all lodges in the jurisdiction be required to use the English lan-
guage.

Grand Masters' Day at the Masonic Home appears to be quite an
event, and partakes of the nature of Masonic and patriotic rally. This
year the grand chaplain made a splendid address on Masonry and the
World War.

The Order of the Eastern Star in Connecticut seems to have the
grand lodge pretty will under its management. The grand master in
his address rejoices at its growth and prosperity and speaks of its prin-
ciples and practices as "powerfully reinforcing and supporting our
Masonic life and institution." He advises every lodge to encourage
the formation of a chapter within its jurisdiction.

Connecticut finds itself in need of more funds to sustain its Masonic
Home, and the grand master recommends an increase in the per capita
tax of 25 cents, making the total amount $1.50.

The deputy grand master makes a report concerning his social
activities. He shows himself, however, to be thoroughly observant of
conditions among the lodges. One of his recommendations is that the
grand lodge take action looking to ritualistic abbreviation. Owing to
the appalling amount of work which is being done by the lodges in
Connecticut, he says "Wliy not have one hold the horns of the goat,
and the rest gain wisdom thereby?" This is the identical thing that
the writer has been contending for in Hlinois, but has been unable to
get even a fair hearing on the matter due to the fact that Masonry
in the state is so saturated with ritualism that it is impossible for the
average Mason to separate ritualism and Masonry.

The grand treasurer gives his receipts as $41,373 and his disburse-
ments approximately $47,000.

The grand secretary makes quite a long report in w'hich he pre-
sents in detail many affairs which came under his notice during the
year. He gives the net gain at 1,245 and the present membership
29,417.

Masonic Correspondence 41

A special committee on the George Washington Memorial Asso-
ciation recommended the appropriation of $100 for the purpose of a
membership in that organization.

A long report is made by what is termed the War Board. The New
York conference is fully discussed and the Iowa plan of a Masonic
Service Association endorsed.

A recommendation of the grand master regarding the conferring
of the degrees by courtesy wherein he suggested that when this is done
the lodge for which the work is performed be required to forward
a copy of its by-laws for the candidate to sign, was approved by the
Committee on Jurisprudence. The committee also agreed with the grand
master that hereafter all lodges be required to work in the English
language.

The election and installation of officers and a short report from
the Committee on Memorials, closed the session.

The report on correspondence is prepared by George A. Keis, past
grand master. He has been very generous to Illinois and enumerated
the principal transactions of our meeting held in October, 1918. From
the correspondence report of that year, he takes nearly three pages
of extracts, and in the main, agrees with the various remarks which
he quotes.

1918

The proceedings for the most part are printed in Spanish, there
is, however, a short appendix in which the report of the grand master,
the grand secretary, and the opening words of the Committee on Foreign
Correspondence are printed in English. The annual eommunicatiou was
held in the Habana. The grand master opens with a reference to the
v.ar, speaking as follows —

Without department from reality and always thinking upon
the actual selfishness of society, we can say, being far from error,
that the Pontiff of the Catholic Church, the sapient Leo XIII,
one of the best jircpared of his time, saw clearly when in his last
and wise enciclic letter to the catholic world he said: "humanity
follows the track of a near ruin on account of her egotism and

42 Appendix — Part I

struggle to obtain the hegemony of some nations upon others."
Truly, my dear brethren, the horrors of the actual war, her conse-
quences and the results fully observed by us, make us to be just
with the foresight of the illustrious man who wore the pontifical
erovv'n: man follows an infernal path and it is necessary to be pre-
pared to repel its evils.

He reports the formation of seven new lodges and the constituting of
eight. He advises that the Grand Lodge of Cuba has recognized the
Grand Lodge of Panama, also that of the Philippine Islands. He also
reports the loaning of limited sums of money to lodges to assist them
in the construction of places of meeting. He also reports that the library
founded by the grand lodge is rapidly taking shape and bids fair to be-
come something really worth while. The widow of a deceased Mason gave
the grand lodge a set of books, the number being 480. He states that
every effort had been made to maintain fraternal relations with the grand
lodges of the world. He commends the Masonic press, urges proper recog-
nition of the festivals of St. John the Baptist and St. John the Evangelist.
He states that all calls for charity have been promptly responded to and
that the record of the grand lodge in the matter of benevolence is one
of which it may well feel proud. The grand secretary gives the receipts
of the year at $19,014 and the expenditures $17,893. There are at the
present time 113 lodges on the island of Cuba with a total membership
of 8,776. The graud lodge paid out for beneficences $619.00 while the
lodges of the jurisdiction paid $9,721.00. The 15th day of February
of each year has been set apart by the grand lodge as a special day of
mourning. The cause of the mourning is not given.

The report of the Committee on Foreign Correspondence is printed in
full because it is unique and it mirrors the fraternity of the world as it
is viewed by one who is working out Masonry, as he understands it, on
the distant island of Cuba —

REPOET OF THE COMMITTEE ON CORRESPONDENCE

{Preamble)

The European war continues to be for Masons a touchstone;
it was England that yesterday struck the note excusing the Ger-
man brethren residing in her territory and afiiliated with English
lodges from attendance to the meetings of their resj)ective lodges.
The measure was somewhat radical but it was also reasonable, to
avoid friction, but the measures responded to by Germany as re-
presalies do not look at all as of a Masonic character. The Grand
Master of Vermont speaks largely of them in his address, and to
him we are indebted for our knowledge of the attitude of the Ger-
man press and craft. Our brethren from the Rhine have announced
that henceforth they will have nothing to do with Masons belong-
ing to the allied nations.

Masonic Correspondence 43

"English Masonry, they say, is too vain, French Masonry
meddles with politics and the rest of Latin Masonry is not worthy
at all." It was bnt yesterday that German philosophers recog-
nized the superman, today they create the supcrmason, with time
German Masons will imitate the Moors and will yell very loud:
"Alah is the only God and the Kaiser his prophet."

War may do some good to Masonry nevertheless. Many
soldier Masons from America, asked from their own grand lodge
letters of dispensation to form lodges ascribed to their regi-
ments in the field of war, as the English do, but as very few
grand masters accepted their petitions, reaction has been produced
in the form of an approachment to French Masons, more yet, there
are some grand masters authorized by their respective grand
lodges, ready to recognize French Masonic bodies as soon as they
replace the Bible on their altars while other grand lodges have
accorded their members the right to visit French lodges, never-
minding the lack of mutual recognition between the two grand
lodges. The case is not so simple as many brothers think since as
the Supreme Council of France A. A. S. E. is in amity with those
of the United States and the American grand lodges not, the
resulting reality is nnbearalile. We shall hear very soon of many
things that as they said of the Cid, will make the stones talk.

During the past year a modest Latin Mason, the grand master
of an insignificant grand lodge, gave away the idea of holding a
Masonic reunion among the nations of America, with tendencies of
a peaceful nature. The plan was circulated to all, for the benefit
of Anglo Saxon brethren the letter was translated into some
language similar to English that they may have understood it.
The answers soon began to arrive: some, very few grand masters,
accepted the idea and applauded it; some thought it most in-
opportune and the majority with more or less courtesy refused
it. But it has not been long since a Masonic publication of the
Great Eepublic, the youngest and, perhaps the best of all of them.
The Builder, the organ of the National Masonic Research Associa-
tion, gave out a well studied plan about a similar thing; of course
it does not say whether any poor Cuban devil thought of it before,
but as the child already has an Anglo Saxon stepfather, it may
perhaps succeed and any where any discussion may rise out of it,
no matter whether the true mother, Cuba, may be mentioned
or not. Oh men, as Turgot said, "perhaps many of you are not
worthy of Liberty ! ' '

We have left for the last place, purposely, something very
nearly related to us. Formerly, when we only inserted our official
documents in Spanish, the American brothers asked for them in
English, last year we published them not only in English but in
French too, now while some brothers acknowledge them and have
for us consoling and friendly phrases many of the others, charged
with the reporting of foreign doings, only excuse themselves by
saying that they did not receive them or that they have arrived
too late to look them over. We must be convinced that always
large fishes swallow the smaller ones!

44 Appendix — Part, I

But matters do not end here, there is a brother named Atkin-
son, from West Virginia, who told us in the past year that we
should write in English because brothers over there neither laicw
Spanish nor cared to know it. We have to state here that we
translate our documents for the good understanding of all, but in
the special section set apart for West Virginia we told him that
his phrases were discourteous and antif raternal ; but think what
a surprise for us when in reviewing the last proceedings from West
Virginia, just arrived, to see Bro. Atkinson deny our statements
and mention that what we had said was because we knew as
much English as he did Spanish. It may be so, we never presumed
of being an English scholar, but let the said Bro. A. know that,
whatever the language may be, his phrases are disrespectful in a
large scale and, even if he slights us, we have again inserted this
year our English version, may we or may we not know English,
but let it be known that Bro. A. entirely forgot the respect due
to a brother Mason.

But the best of the affair is that the Anglo Saxon acuteness and
prevision failed at his time, because Bro. A. instead of referring
in his answer to the year before last proceedings, directs his an-
swer to last year 's, which contain a most different matter not
mentioned at all by us, and did it at a time before the last proceed-
ings had time enough to reach us. But Cuba does not care for
it, she fully opens her arms to embrace all, mistaken as we may
be or not we have for all loving and friendly words and we do
care to know English that we do not let it go over when any
brother goes beyond the frontiers of due courtesy and fraternity.

The 108th annual communication of the Grand Lodge of the District
of Columbia was held December 18, 1918. The grand lodge was opened
at 7 0 'clock in the evening. The first business of importance was the

presents a tabic showing the condition of the craft in the District of
Columbia, covering a period of ten years, disclosing a growth which is
most gratifying, the net iiicreaso in membership being nearly 3,000. Con-
sidering the small number of Jodges in the District of Columbia, this
ought to prove highly satisfactory to the Masons of that section. One
decision is reported which is rather unique. A brother declared that in
balloting for a petitioner, who had been rejected that he was afraid that
he had inadvertently dropped a black ball into the rcceptable, which he
did not intend to do. The master made inquiry of the grand master
whether on the statement of the brother ho could respread the ballot.
But the grand master decided that there is no power in the master or the
grand master to order the retaking of the ballot, at a subsequent com-
munication, and cited Mackey as his authority.

It cannot be doubted but that many lodges resort to all sorts of sub-
terfuge in order to gain a reballot on the rejected candidates, whom
they desire to get into the lodge. As a result, grand masters are fre-
quently importuned to respread the ballot. It might be that a fast rule,
such as laid down by the grand master of the District of Columbia would
have a tendency to check some of the carelessness in balloting, as well
as put a stop to the frequent attempts to railroad rejected candidates
into the lodge.

The grand master was generous in issuing dispensations for the initia-
tion of soldiers. His report of the activities in relation to the various
war funds. Liberty .loans, and War Savings stamps shows that the brethren
of the district, cannot be charged with neglect of duty. The grand master
made an appeal to the Masons of Washington to open their homes and to
furnish beds and breakfast for soldier Masons who happened to be in the
city and were unable to secure accommodations elsewhere. Another good
thing which the Masons of the District of Columbia did was to raise
a fund to send boys home who were fortunate enough to secure a fur-
lough and who did not have the necessary funds available. It is note-
wlorthy that in but two exceptions, the money advanced, was returned
immediately, when payday came.

The grand master approved many requests to confer degrees by cour-
tesy. He also commends the Masonic Employment Bureau, which has
been doing a splendid work in looking after those without positions. He
asked the grand lodge to appropriate $1,000 and fix a per capita tax
of five cents in order to sustain the work. He made many visitations,
and would have called upon more of the lodges had it not been for the
flu epidemic which closed up everything for an indefinite period. The
Masonic and Eastern Star Home is commended and the George Wash-
ington Memorial Association, favoraldy mentioned. Attention is called to

46 Appc7idix — Part I

the Association of Worshipful Masters, and the splendid work that is
being done by that organization in upholding the standards of Free-
masonry.

'One thing the association did was to pull off a baseball game, the
proceeds amounting to $4,700 which went to the Endowment Fund of
the Masonic Home.

The report of the grand secretary is purely financial. The receipts
of the grand lodge from various sources were $18,255. The disbursements
$16,929. The grand lecturer states in his report that the year has been
an extremely busy one owing to the tremendous amount of work in the
lodges. One reason for his being so busy is to be found in the fact that
he visited twenty-nine lodges and conferred the Past Master 's Degree
on brethren who had been called to preside over their dodges. It is
rather surprising that there are lodges which still indulge in the folly of
conferring the Past Master's Degree. The report of the librarian shows
that 4,389 books were loaned during the year and the number of readers
was 297. This is a most excellent showing, and proves that Masonic
libraries are really worth while when the right sort of reading matter is
provided. The rents accruing from the Masonic Temple are given at
$52,000 and the expenditures approximately $48,000. There is a debt
on the temple of $282,000 showing that the grand lodge has its hands
full in making the temple pay for itself. A good report is made by the
the manager of the Masonic Employment Bureau. Five hundred and seven
positions were secured out of a total number of 731 applicants. Two
hundred and forty of the positions were clerical. The grand lodge holds
a meeting on St. John's day at which routine business is transacted, offi-
cers elected and installed. Such a meeting was held December 27. There
is however, nothing of unusual interest to chronicle in connection with
this particular meeting. The report on correspondence is prepared by
Geo. W. Baird, past grand master. Illinois receives very generous treat-
ment. The address of Grand Master Austin H. Scrogin is reviewed in a con-
cise and impartial manner. Concerning the amendment presented to the
grand lodge, concerning physical qualifications, Brother Baird thinks that
it is a departure from landmarks and a dangerous precedent.

In taking up the report on correspondence presented last year he
inquires whether the correspondent is a seafaring man, for the reason
that the word Del Mar means ' ' of the sea. ' ' The x^ossessor of the
cognomen Delmar has had many interpretations placed upon that par-
ticular name but this interpretation is a new one. Bro. Baird says that the
writer is not correctly informed as to French Masonry. For the reason
that between the Grand Orient and the Grand Lodge of France, juris-
diction is concurrent. The writer admits that there is a whole lot about

Masonic Cori'cspondence 47

Masonry in France that he doesn't understand and can't find out about.
Brother Baird said very many kindly things about the ILIinois correspon-
dence report of last year, all of which is fully appreciated. He says
that our essay on physical qualifications is logical, but that we cannot
admit cripples nor mutilated men, without violating landmarks on which
the authorities have all agreed. W© would like to say much more con-
cerning Brother Baird 's report but we have already passed our limita-
tions.

ENGLAND, A. F. & A. M.

1918

The Grand Lodge of England holds quarterly communications. It
does not issue any regular book of proceedings, but following each assem-
bly, there is issued a small pamphlet giving in detail the various items
of business that were transacted. The communication under consideration
was held on the 4th day of September 1918.

The Board of Benevolences made a report which shows the very gen-
erous manner in which the grand lodge takes care of its dependents. If
the report is understood correctly, one widow received $400 and another
$800. The Board of General Purposes which is charged with the regu-
lation of general affairs make one of their characteristic reports. They
speak of the ever growing desire for closer intercourse between the United
Grand Lodge of England and other grand lodges of the world. English
lodges are cautioned against receiving petitions from Americans for the
reason that they are very likely to violate the Masonic laws of American
lodges. This is also made to apply to brethren applying for affiliation for
the reason that America does not recognize dual lodge menibership such
as in vogue in England. The board report a rather peculiar condition
arising from the lack of gold thread and the embargo placed by the
English government on this article. For this reason a resolution was
submitted pcrmiting brethren to appear in grand lodge and provincial
and district grand lodges in other than full Masonic dress.

At this meeting the grand lodge indulged in much discussion concern-
ing the practice of making Masons in English lodges of those whose resi-
dence happened to be in other parts of the world. Forms were submitted

48 Appendix — Part I

for th(i proiiosal of candidates for the degrees as woll as a form of
applicatiou to be filled out by the petitioner.

At a quarterly meeting hold on the 1-lth day of December, 1918,
business of considerable importance ^vas transacted. The Board of Benev-
olence announced the distribution of funds amounting to almost $8,000.

The Board of General Purposes called attention to the proposition
for a fitting Masonic celebration of the signature of peace when that
is accomplished. A member of the fraternity who was seeking election
to Parliament, sent a circular to the lodges of England asking their sup-
port on the ground that he was a good Preemason and a liberal sup-
porter of Masonic charities. He came in for a round of censure from
the board.

A long discussion was indulged in by the grand lodge over the powers
and privileges of the board. The general idea obtained from the con-
troversy related to the amount of authority assumed by the board and the
right of individual Masons to be heard in grand lodge. The creation
of a special committee from the Board of General Pur2)oses to deal with
constitutional questions did not find favor with the grand lodge, and the
result was that the grand lodge voted to leave these subjects in the hands
of the board as a whole.

The balance of this session is taken up with a discussion of various
proposed amendments to the constitutions and the discussions which were
indulged in shows very clearly that our English cousins are not at all
backward about speaking their minds.

The quarterly communication held on the 5th day of March, 1919,
appears to have been, devoted very largely to routine matters. One of
the first things was the reading of a letter from the grand master in which
he expressed a desire for a commemoration of the cessation of hostilities
and a wish to add to the number of grand officers, by annually appoint-
ing and investing twelve assistant grand directors of ceremonies, six
assistant grand standard bearers, and four assistant grand pursuivants,
these officers to be entitled to the privilege of wearing a chain of office
of a pattern to be approved by the grand lodge. The report of the Board
of Benevolences, again discloses the generosity of our English brethren
in matters of charity.

The Board of General Purposes make a report which is characteristic
of the English method of doing things Masonically. The first item relates
to the marriage of H. R. H. Princess Patricia of Connaught, and the board
reports that they presented a suitable wedding gift on behalf of the
grand lodge.

Masonic Correspondence 49

The board states that according to a decision of the courts the
customs authorities would not further press the payment of the duty
imposed on entertainments provided at Masonic functions.

The pro grand master announced that the war being over members
of the craft would revert to the custom of wearing full dress suits at
Masonic lodge meetings.

A grand festival was held on the 30th day of April 1919, which
appears to have been devoted to the selection of officers for the coming
year. The grand director of ceremonies made the following proclamation —
Be it known, that the Most High, Most Mighty, and Most
Illustrious Prince, Arthur William Patrick Albert, Duke of Con-
naught and Strathearn, Eaul of Sussex, Knight of the Most Noble
Order of the Garter, Knight of the Most Ancient and the Most
Noble Order of the Thistle, Knight of the Most Illustrious Order
of St. Patrick, Great Master and First and Principal Knight
Grand Cross of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath, Knight
Grand Commander of the Most Exalted Order of the Star of India,
Knight Grand Cross of the Most Distinguished Order of St.
Michael and St. George, Knight Grand Commander of the Most
Eminent Order of the Indian Empire, Knight Grand Cross of the
Eoyal Victorian Order, Knight Grand Cross of the Most Excellent
Order of the British Empire, one of His Majesty's Most Hon-
ourable Privy Council, Field Marshal in the Army, &c., &c., &c.,
&c., has been elected and Installed Most Worshipful Grand Master
of the United Fraternity of Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons of
England, for the ensuing year, whom may the Great Architect of
Universe long preserve.

If it can be possible at some future time for Illinois to discover
a grand master who has many high sounding titles as does the grand
master of England, we move that the honor of making the proclamation
be accorded to Andrew McNally of Chicago.

The last quarterly communication under review was held on June 4,
1919. The first business was the selection of members of the grand lodge
to serve on the Board of General Purposes. The usual report on benevo-
lences was made and special reference given to the preparations which
had been under way for the Especial Grand Lodge to be held on Friday,
the 27th day of June, at which grand masters from various parts of the
world would be in attendance. The board disapproved of a growing ten-
dency towards the publication of accounts of lodge meetings and gath-
erings connected therewith, and called attention to the present rules of
the grand lodge covering that infraction of the constitutions.

In all of the reports which have been under review, there appears
nothing to indicate the financial receipts and disbursements of the grand
lodge nor is there anything of a statistical character to indicate the growth
in membership.

FLORIDA, F. & A. M.

1919

Tuesday, January 21, 1919, the Grand Lodge of Florida met in the
city of Jacksonville and opened the ninetieth annual communication.

The first business of importance was the address of Grand Master
T. Picton Warlow. He pays an extended tribute to the dead of his
own and other jurisdictions. He reports issuing three hundred and
fifty dispensations to waive the time limit over soldiers going to the
front. He granted a dispensation to a lodge permitting it to hold a
lodge of sorrow for a deceased brother, in view of the fact that a
Masonic funeral could not be held owing to a delay of three days in
the arrival of the remains. This appears at first glance to be a rather
unusual situation, and the writer does not remember of ever coming
across anything just exactly like it before.

Brother Warlow had considerable to say concerning the way and
manner that jurisdiction over soldiers and sailors had been handled by
lodges during the period of the war. Quite a number of decisions are
reported. One was that a Masonic Lodge is not required to control the
lodge room in which it holds its meetings; another one was that the
members of a lodge might participate in the formation of a club. He
ruled that five candidates might receive the Entered Apprentice degree
at one communication. One dispensation was issued for the formation
of a new lodge. It is noticeable that only nine joined the petition for
the dispensation. The question which arises in the mind of the writer
is, how nine Master Masons are going to confer the third degree if
it is to be done according to the Illinois standard.

The corner-stone of a public school building was laid by the grand
master during the year. He reports the purchasing of a magnificent
building at St. Petersburg, Florida, to be used as a Masonic home. One
good woman donated the sum of $5,000 for the benefit of the Masonic
Home and Orphange, the same to be a perpetual memorial to her husband.

The grand master, like many of the good men of the country, was
quite busy in war activity. For this reason he was unable to visit
as many of the lodges as he would have liked.

He reports the publishing of the Florida Monitor and expresses the
hope that it will stand the acid test and meet the requirements for
many years to come. The Iowa plan of united Masonic service is given
extended notice, and he recommends that Florida join the proposed
league. In this connection, he makes the following comment —

Masonic Correspondence 51

It might seem to you that great jurisdictions like those of
New York, Massachusetts or Illinois might have proceeded with
the work abroad without the co-operation of the other grand
bodies. They wanted to, brethren, but it seems there is an in-
fluence bent on imj^eding our brethren in their great and glorious
undertaking. Our New York brethren readily obtained a permit
to go abroad to do war work, but were later refused the neces-
sary passports. Negotiations at Washington lasting over months,
ended in a positive refusal to permit Masons to participate in
overseas war work. Finally our New York brethren arranged
to go as a unit of the Y. M. C. A. Thus, my brethren, this great
work of unifying Masons in relief work has commenced and
we may hope that it will lead to a more intimate union of
Masons throughout the world.

The deputy grand master who wielded the gavel during the ab-
sence of the grand master from the state makes quite a long report.
He appears to have been grand master in fact, for he issued dispensa-
tions, made decisions, and performed all the acts belonging to the
office of grand master. The detailed reports of the district deputy
grand masters are attached to the grand master's report. These offi-
cers appear to have been diligent in the discharge of their duties.

The grand treasurer reports total receipts of $28,500 and expendi-
tures of $29,000. During the year $4,695 were expended for the relief
of worthy members. "What is commonly known as the Committee on
Grand Master's Address is called in Florida, the Committee on Dis-
tribution. With their report, they appear to have kept within their
respective duties. The interdict against the Masonic Journal passed
in 1918 was repealed, that paper having changed ownership.

The record states that one brother was excused from further at-
tendance upon the sessions of the grand lodge. This shows conclusively
that the Grand Lodge of Florida believes that it is the duty of repre-
sentatives to be in their places in grand lodge, and that it proposes
to see that they are there.

A long report is made by the Masonic Home and Orphanage Com-
mittee concerning the purchase of the Southland Hotel property at St.
Petersburg for the sum of $85,000. The original cost of the building
and grounds was $140,000, and the grand lodge feels that the pur-
chase price was reasonable. The committee express their appreciation
of the assistance rendered them by Brother Ashael W, Gage, formerly
of Chicago, Illinois, now located at Clearwater, Florida.

The Committee on Jurisprudence make quite a long report. One
comment in particular is interesting —

Our grand master refused a dispensation to Island Grove
Lodge No. 125 to waive a "physical defect." We do not intend

52 Appendix — Part I

to pass upon the correctness of his refusal, as that is not
within our province, but we wish to ask attention of the craft
to Eegulation No. 84, which places upon the lodge the decision
in such cases without reference to the grand master.

This decision of the Jurisprudence Committee may be all right, but
imagine for a moment the predicament of a master who doesn't know
any more than the law allows him, and who happens to use his own
best judgment in a matter of initiating a petitioner who is physically
defective.

A resolution introduced in grand lodge requiring all district deputy
grand masters to procure a certificate of proficiency in the work before
being eligible in the office of district deputy seemed to find favor, for
the committee recommended its adoption.

An examination of the report of the Committee on Mileage and
Per Diem shows that that body is alert in the discharge of its duties,
for they took good care to see that every representative was paid in
accordance with the number of days that he was in attendance at the
session. It is rather surprising to note that the state of Florida, as
progressive as it is, still has fastened upon it that barnacle known as
the Past Masters' degree, a committee report having conferred this
degree upon fifty-three prospective masters elect.

All the officers having been reelected and reappointed, no installa-
tion was held.

The report on correspondence is prepared by Silas B. Wright. He
has been extremely generous with Illinois, according eleven pages of
which he devotes almost five to a digest of the Eeport on Correspon-
dence for the year of 1918. He takes a liberal paragraph from the
opening remarks of Grand Master Austin H. Scrogin, and quotes his
remarks concerning Masonry in France. The principal acts of Grand
Master Scrogin, are briefly recited and without comment or criticism.
Brother Wright believes thoroughly in the grand master's visiting as
many lodges as possible, for the far reaching good that is accomplished
through such visitation. He opens his critique on the correspondence
report with the following —

M. W. Brother Darrah is not an entire stranger to the craft,
and the writer of this report was very much pleased with his
work and Masonic papers while he was grand master. We
were truly pleased to find ourselves in accord with his views
on nearly all matters, the main difference being that he is a
student and follower of the teachings of the late Past Grand
Master Eobbins, who was so radical in his teachings regarding
the regularity, or, as he stated it, the irregularity and the
illegitimacy of all Masonic lodges organized by or descended

Masonic Correspondence 53

from bodies claiming under the Scottish Rite. With this we
cannot agree.

It is impossible to reply to the above in these pages. The writer,
however, believes that the greatest problem which confronts the Ma-
sonic Fraternity at the present time is that of unity, and that the
time is not far distant when legitimate Freemasonry will have to re-
organize upon a broader platform regardless of the sources from which
these various bodies derive their Masonry.

The writer deeply appreciates the critical analysis which Brother
Wright has given to the correspondence report of Illinois for 1918. One
paragraph is reproduced in full —

Brother Darrah expresses surprise that the forwarding of
the proceedings of many of the grand lodges are "so exas-
peratingly delayed." He says that during the past year the
proceedings of a number of grand lodges were not issued until
after a lapse of three to six months. We sjnnpathize with
Brother Darrah in this matter, and will call his attention to the
fact that this year, for the first time in several years, the
writer has been able to have upon his table and to review the
proceedings of the Grand Lodge of Illinois, which grand lodge
meets in October, so that it may be ready for his report in the
following January. For many years we have not received the Illi-
nois report in time to have it show in our records until it has
been more than a year old.

There are many other items that we would like to take up and dis-
cuss but we are reminded of our promise to reduce our report in volume
and so must pass these matters for the present, in the hope that the
writer may sometime meet Brother Wright and have a delightful little
quarrel with him.

GEORGIA, F. & A. M.

1918

The Grand Lodge of Georgia opened its one hundred thirty-second
annual communication in the city of Macon on the morning of Tues-
day, November 26, 1918.

The roll call of grand officers and grand representatives must have
consumed considerable time. However, it is one sure method of know-
ing who is present in the grand lodge. It ofttjn happens that the boys fill

54 Appendix — Pa7't I

out their credential cards and have some one hand them in, and then
make a bee-line for the base ball game or the burlesque show.

The grand master, William. G. England, presented a very long re-
port. It covered almost sixty pages. He goes much into detail con-
cerning the transactions in his office during the year. He speaks of
the growth in membership as the greatest in the history of the grand
lodge, and enters into a long dissertation upon the war and the prin-
ciples of Freemasonry. He speaks of a general grand lodge and finds
favor with the project, believing that it will not interfere in any way
with the state rights of the present jurisdictions.

The question of recognizing the Grand Lodge of France is given
consideration and much valuable data is presented. The result of his
summary is that under present conditions the Grand Lodge of Georgia
could not recognize the Grand Lodge of France. The list of visitations
reported by the grand master is a long one and shows that he was not
unmindful of the lodges over which he was called to preside. Thirty-
two questions and answers were presented under the title of decisions.
None of them, however, are out of the ordinary and the answers given
are along the line of the generally accepted principles of Freemasonry.
He decided that it was improper to place the lodge seal upon anything
which was not Masonic. He also decided that a Eomanist could be made
a Mason.

The record of the grand lodge in war work is what might be ex-
pected from the Masons of Georgia. The establishment of rest rooms
or Masonic clubs proved of great assistance to the soldier Mason. He
speaks of the Masonic home as not being an asylum and reports that
institution to be in a highly satisfactory condition.

The grand master put forth every effort during his administration
toward the creation of an Endowment Fund. The income to be used
in supporting the home. At the present time almost $55,000 is at work
bringing a very handsome amount of interest.

The Scottish Eite Hospital for crippled children is also highly
commended and Masons are asked to bear this worthy enterprise in
mind and to assist it whenever they can.

The grand master found pleasure in lajing the corner-stones of one
Baptist church, two Methodist churches, a school building, and two
Masonic temples.

Grand Master England calls the attention of the grand lodge to
one of the Georgia laws called, "Treasure Trove," that of permitting
lodges to receive petitions from those who have not resided within the

Masonic Correspondence 55

jurisdiction of a Georgia lodge for twelve months. He recommends that
the grand lodge fix a definite time limit of residence. He recommends
the appointment of a grand lecturer whose business it shall be to visit
and instruct the lodges of the state. He thinks the fees of many of
the lodges are too low, and recommends that something be done look-
ing toward an increase of the prescribed fee.

The charters of three lodges were arrested during the year, showing
that the grand master believes in proper discipline.

The work of the grand secretary is highly commended and an in-
crease in his salary recommended.

The district and county conventions are mentioned as having ac-
complished much good during the year.

The grand secretary reports a total membership of 48,746. During
the year over 5,000 were raised to the sublime degree.

The total receipts of the grand secretary are reported to be $54,806.
From the issuance of 558 special dispensations, the treasury of the
grand lodge was enriched to the extent of $2,575.

The grand lodge declined to recognize the Grand Lodge of Panama,
also the Grand Orient of Lisbon, and the Grand Orient of the Argen-
tine Republic. It also refused recognition to the Grand Lodge of Brazil.
It is quite apparent that the Grand Lodge of Georgia weighs these
matters very carefully, and does not propose to be swept off its feet
by the over-zealous members of the fraternity who look upon universality
as a broad mantle which covers a multitude of Masonic sins.

The Board of Custodians agreed with the grand master that a
grand lecturer was absolutely necessary to properly promulgate the ritual
of the jurisdiction.

The Committee on Jurisprudence gave the grand master 100%
for they approved all of his decisions.

The report of the Committee on Appeals and Grievances must have
had something to do, for they disposed of forty-one cases. They show
the good taste to eliminate the publishing of details, but in printing
the name of the accused, they are going further than is really necessary.

The Committee on General Welfare bring in quite a long report.
They indorse the Iowa plan of a Masonic Service Association. They
fixed a per capita tax at $1.00 per member. They recommended that
hereafter a joint ballot may be taken upon petitions for advancement.
They indorse the dissemination of good Masonic literature, and condemn
the practice of using Masonic emblems for business purposes. They

56 Appe7idix — Part I

recommended that tlie payment of mileage and per diem to past masters
of lodges be discontinued after the present year. The report of the
committee was adopted by the grand lodge.

The salary of the grand secretary was fixed at $3,600. The pre-
sentation of the past grand masters jewel and the installation of ofii-
cers closed a very important session of the Grand Lodge of Georgia.

Eaymond Daniel prepares the review of brother jurisdictions. He
opens with an admirable preface in which he presents some of the live
subjects under consideration in most of the jurisdictions throughout
the United States. He gives Hlinois two and one-half pages of criti-
cal analysis, but finds nothing seriously at fault from which we take
it that what we did at our session of 1917 meets his approval.

IDAHO, A. F. & A. M.

1918

The grand jurisdiction of Idaho boasts of 05 lodges with a total mem-
bership of 455. Moscow had the honor of eutertaining the grand lodge
assembled in 51st annual meeting. As soon as the opening exercises had
been dispensed with the grand secretary called what is termed, the roll
of honor, being the list of deceased past grand masters. As each name
was called, the grand master made a proper response.

The roll of grand representatives was then called and seven of these
ambassadors answered to their names.

Sherman N. Coffin, grand master, read his annual address to the grand
lodge. It covers twelve printed pages of routine matter. He laid the
corner-stoue of a Methodist church, during his term of office, and repro-
duces a part of the address which he made on the occasion, justifing his
action in laying the corner-stone of a church on the ground that the present

Masonic Correspondence 57

time demaiuls the united eifort of all moral and religious institutions. Quite
a number of decisions are reported by the grand master. All of them, how-
ever, partake of the nature of answers to questions which were submitted.
None of them are out of the ordinary and are purely local in interest. One
thing the grand master does is to go into the question of landmarks, and
enumerates twenty-five so-called recognized landmarks. The grand master
has a perfect right to construe Masonry as he sees it. But when he com-
mences to deal with the question of landmarks and sets up any number
of specific provisions as coming within the boundaries of this subject he
is likely to invite the dispute of other zealous Masons, who have different
conceptions of what constitutes a landmark, and which they likewise claim
to be authentic and above suspicion. The grand master reports the con-
ferring of over 200 degrees by courtesy, and says —

In this connection I cannot refrain from laying before you one

instance of this splendid spirit. On July 24th I telegraphed Austin

H. Scrogin, grand master of Illinois, as follows:

"Can you have Exemplar Lodge of Chicago confer the three
degrees of Masonry on James Lawrence Young before August 1st,
as a courtesy to our Portncuf Lodge of Pocatello? He leaves that
day for France. He has instructions to call on Secretary Gilfan
of Exemplar Lodge."

On July 25th Grand Master Scrogin replied —

' ' In response to your telegram of the 24th, received this morn-
ing, I am asking our Exemplar Lodge No. 9G6 of Chicago, to con-
fer the three degrees on J. L. Young as soon as possible for one
of your lodges in Idaho. To this end I have issued them a dis-
pensation permitting them to confer the degrees without regard to
time and proficiency. Assuring you that it is a pleasure to serve
you, I am, fraternally yours, Austin H. Scrogin, Grand Master of
Masons in Illinois."

TTiis was characteristic of Grand Master Scrogin, always generous and
thoughtful of others.

A brother who printed an advertisement in a newspaper exploiting
his undertaking business and who placed in the lower left hand corner
the initials A. F. & A. M. was promptly called down by the grand master
so vigorously that the brother at once discontinued the practice.

The Grand Lodge of Idaho certainly proved its loyalty to the gov-
ernment for it invested all surplus funds in Lil)erty bonds and now holds
^25,550 of this precious paper. The grand master fully believes in lodges
holding commemorative exercises pertaining to some event of more than
passing interest in the history of the lodge.

A letter was received by Brother Coffin from a Utah past master
suggesting that the grand lodge take action upon the question of adopting
a patented or copywritcd emblem to be worn by all members as a safe-

58 Appendix — Part I

guard against clandestine Masons. The reply of the grand master to
this proposal is so truly Masonic and so timely that it is reproduced here
in lull for the benefit of those signboards of Masonry, who may chance
to lead as they run —

I am not keen for the personal display of Masonic emblems

and would not accept a man as a Mason were he covered with

them from head to heel.

It seems to me that the teachings of Masonry from the very
day of initiation to the end of life, if practiced and observed, guard
and protect us from imposition of every kind and character, that
we do not need patents and copyrights to protect us against the
Aviles of the clandestine. The very fact that a man is advertising
himself as a Mason should create doubt and suspicion, and make
us all the more cautious in our dealings with him.

I cannot therefore advocate action by our grand lodge, and
while I have no criticism of those who take a different view, I
feel it my duty to admonish the craft, not lightly to take up the
advocacy of such innovations.

One thing Grand Master CofFm is to be commended for and that is
in being broad enough to recognize the necessity for some common ground
of union between the American grand lodges. Among the recommendations
made were the following: The recognition of the Grand Lodge and Grand
Orient of France; a closer fellowship with the Grand Lodge of England;
the establishment of a branch lodge on the European war front; and an
increased expense account for the incoming grand master.

The grand treasurer reports receipts of $32,873.00 and expenditures
of $37,000.00. The finances of the grand lodge, however, are in the most
excellent condition with an abundant surplus.

The grand secretary's report is an interesting document. From it
we learn that some time ago the grand lodge purchased twenty-five past
grand master's aprons to be kept in the custody of the grand lodge, and
used at annual meetings. One brother asked that one of the aprons be
given him for his own.

Tie grand secretary reported a recommendation that each grand master
be furnished one of these aprons for his own personal property.

It is evident that the Masonic boom has not at the time of the annual
report hit the lodges of Idaho. For it is noticed that Go lodges raised
only 495, an average of seven and a fraction for each lodge. An excellent
oration was delivered by the grand orator, Gary C. Burk, his subject
was "What Can Masonry Do for Democracy?" It would be a great
pleasure to quote liberally from this splendid document but lack of space
prohibits. There ought to be more addresses delivered to lodges of the

Masonic Correspondence 59

same practical character. Several amendments presented to the grand
lodge were advanced from first to second reading, a most excellent plan,
showing that the grand lodge does not propose to let anything get by
without due consideration. The Grand Lodge of Idaho believes in con-
serving the time of representatives, for it held an evening session at which
much business was transacted. This grand lodge pays the expenses of its
representatives, the highest amount allowed being $91.80.

The Committee on Foreign Correspondence recommended that no action
be taken concerning the recognition of the Grand Lodge of France and
the report was adopted. The Grand Lodge of Idaho moved forward when
it adopted an amendment providing for collective work permitting lodges
to work three candidates at a time, in all parts of the degrees with the
exception of the second section of the third. Good for Idaho, even with
the limited amount of work done by the lodges, this grand lodge does not
propose that its constituents shall become mere degree mills.

The installation of officers and the presentation of the signet ring
closed the session. Tte report on fraternal correspondence is prepared
by George Knepper, grand secretary. He gives Illinois very generous treat-
ment quoting liberally from the report of Grand Master Wheeler, and
calls it a fearless out-spoken paper, delightful to read, even if it fails to
command general approval. Concerning the matter of cipher-ritual about
which Brother Wheeler made a comment he remarks as follows —

It will be remembered that the Grand Lodge of Illinois inno-
cently issued an edict several years ago in effect that all Masons
in the state in possession of commercial ciphers should return them
at once to headquarters. We assumed that said edict had the de-
sired effect and that the cipher ritual was a thing of the past
in Illinois.

INDIANA, F. & A. M.

1919

It is always a pleasure to examine the proceedings of the Grand
Lodge of Indiana for the reason that so many who are active in its
interests are personally known to the writer.

The Grand Lodge of Indiana has every reason to be proud of those
noble men who are laboring to advance its interests, for they are not
only zealous Freemasons but are the highest type of manhood. The

60 Appendix — Pai't I

ninety-eighth annual meeting was held in the city of Indianapolis com-
mencing May 27. Preliminary to the opening a most interesting pro-
gramme of music was rendered followed by an address by Lieutenant
Colonel Marion A. Prather. The officers of the grand lodge then assembled
in the library and with a soldier carrying the American flag they marched
into the lodge amid the tumultous applause of the grand lodge as it
stood at attention. The report of the Committee on Credentials showed
544 lodges represented as the gavel fell. The first business of real
interest is the report of Grand Master Thomas B. Bohon. He opens
with reference to the war, and speaks of the victory which has been
achieved by the allied cause. He approved the by-laws of a large
number of constituent lodges and issued numerous dispensations to
elect officers. During the year the grand master dedicated the lodge
rooms of two Masonic bodies. He laid the corner-stone of one high
school building also one Masonic temple. He states that on this oc-
casion that the brethren were very attentive to an oration delivered
by Julius E. Kline of Chicago.

Dispensations were issued for the formation of four new lodges.
He states the he received one complaint from a brother who preferred
charges against a past master of his lodge for official misconduct alleged
to have been committed while he was in office. The grand master ruled
that inasmuch as the master was out of office, he would have to be
tried by the lodge itself. Brother Bohon very wisely made no decisions,
stating that all his answers to questions were not of a character that
attempted to legislate. He expresses regret that he could not have
visited more of the lodges of the jurisdiction. He reports attending
the George Washington Memorial Association and states that he heartily
concurs in the objects and intentions of the society.

The grand treasurer reports receipts in the General Fund of $35,232
and $74,732 in the Home Fund. The Grand Lodge of Indiana is in a
most excellent condition financially.

The report of the grand secretary, Calvin W. Prather gives a net
increase in membership for the year 1918 of 5,580 and the total number
of Masons in Indiana at 81,480.

Brother Prather announces that it required 3,611 letters written
in the grand secretary's office to accomplish the conferring of degrees
upon Indiana men located in other jurisdictions. An emergency lodge
was formed at Hattiesburg, Miss., to provide for the conferring of de-
grees upon elected candidates whose residence was in Indiana. Brother
Prather did one mighty good thing and it shows his kindness of heart
toward the secretaries with whom he does business. He asked his grand
lodge to invite the secretaries to participate in and enjoy its hos-

Masonic Correspondence 61

pitalities at the annual meeting in 1920. The grand lodge concurred
and the secretaries of Indiana lodges are assured of a delightful time
when they assemble next year. This is a suggestion for other grand
lodges. It is a most excellent thing to bring the secretaries together
in this manner and let them know that the grand lodge appreciates
all that they are doing for the cause of Freemasonry.

Like many others Brother Prather calls the attention of the Masons
of Indiana to the fact that Masonry has become enormously popular.
It behooves lodges to guard the outer door. The Masonic Home Board
make a very interesting report. The institution is well organized and
gives promise of growing into a magnificent charity, the pride of the
Masons of Indiana. An amendment to the laws was introduced pro-
viding for but one ballot for the three degrees and a lapse of one week,
between the election and initiation of a candidate and a period of four
weeks between the conferring of degrees. This amendment went to the
Committee on Jurisprudence who struck out that j)ortion requiring the
lapse of four weeks between the conferring of degrees and the amend-
ment was adopted.

The Committee on Appeals make an observation concerning a case
which came into their hands which is interesting —

Your committee believes it is incumbent upon them to say
that while business contracts may be so rankly violated as to
demand Masonic punishment, the civil courts of the land are
the first resort of aggrieved jiarties and should be resorted to
for the regularly instituted means of interpretation of contracts.

A report made by Calvin W. Prather, grand secretary, shows that
the lodges of Indiana contributed to the various war funds the sum
of $218,596. The grand lecturer, Herbert A. Graham, presents a report
which is of more than passing interest because it shows that that officer,
not only instructed the lodges in the ritual but also looked after their
general welfare. But four lodges in Indiana charge a $60 fee and
only twenty-nine make a charge of $50. The amount of dues charged
by the lodges is mostly $3.00 and under.

The Jurisprudence Committee reported a resolution requiring every
lodge to designate from time to time a repository for its funds and re-
quiring all such to be deposited in the name of the lodge. The Juris-
prudence Committee reported favorably on an amendment fixing the
minimum dues at $3.00 per year and the amendment carried. The grand
lodge holds an annual dinner during the grand lodge session. This took
place on the evening of the first day and over 600 were present. There
were addresses and music. On the morning of the second day the
grand lodge took a special train on the Pennsylvania railroad and
went to the Masonic home at Franklin where a tour of inspection was

62 Appendix — Part I

made. The grand lodge returned to the temple at 12 o'clock, had
luncheon and an hour later was settled down to business. The Jurispru-
dence Committee brought in an amendment fixing the minimum fees
at $30.00 and it was adopted. It also voted to join the Masonic
Service Association.

The Committee on Ways and Means brought in a report recom-
mending the preparation of lantern slides of the Masonic home prop-
erties to be exhibited among the lodges of the state. This committee
recommended the preparation of a monitor which would conform to the
Indiana work. It also fixed the salary of the grand instructor at $3,000
per year which amount must include all traveling expenses. The pre-
sentation of the jewel and the installation of the officers closed the
session. Indiana believes in one term for grand masters and the records
show sixty-nine past grand masters to date, twenty of whom are still
living, one being under the sentence of suspension. The annual review
is prepared by Elmer F. Gay,

He quotes very liberally from the report of the grand master,
Austin H. Scrogin. He is pleased to note that the Grand Lodge of
Illinois has taken up the question of physical qualifications. He said
that what we did is in direct line with the action of Indiana six
years ago, except that Illinois has taken a much more liberal view.

Concerning the report on correspondence he makes the following
observation —

The report on correspondence is written by Past Grand
Master Delmar D. Darrah and it is one of the best and most in-
teresting reports that it has been our pleasure to read.

We would like to publish his topical introduction in full but
space forbids.

Brother Darrah needs no introduction to our Indiana breth-
ren, as he has been our guest on several occasions and can come
again any time that he chooses, and be assured of a Hoosier wel-
come.

IOWA, A. F. & A. M.

1919

At the time of the completion of this report, the official proceedings
of the Grand Lodge of Iowa had not been issued, but through the cour-
tesy of the grand secretary, Newton E. Parvin, sufficient advance sheets
have been received to permit the preparation of a brief review of the
proceedings of this most excellent grand lodge.

Masonic Correspondence 63

The seventy-sixth annual meeting was held in the city of Cedar Rapids
on Tuesday, June 10. The usual elaborate opening ceremonies were omitted
this year and the grand Jodge immediately settled down to the business
of the session.

The report of the grand master, George L. Schoonover, is a paper
of unusual merit. In its entirety, it covers one hundred thirty-two pages.
He opens with reference to the Diamond Jubilee of the Grand Lodge of
Iowa and with extended reference to the war, its causes, and results. He
thinks that with the coming of peace there will evolve a true spirit of
brotherhood which while not at all new to Freemasonry, yet will help
the world to accomplish some things for which it has been striving for
years past. He states that his year as grand master was an extremely
active one, and that he gave liberally of his time and ability towards
advancing the cause of Masonry in the jurisdiction of the state. He dedi-
cated three Masonic lodge rooms and laid the corner-stone of the new
building at Templar Park, Spirit Lake, Iowa.

Pour new lodges were granted dispensations and an unlimited number
of degrees conferred by courtesy.

According to the laws of Iowa, all lodges are required to carry proper
insurance on their holdings. One lodge which was burned out made an
appeal for financial assistance, but when it was found that the insurance
had been allowed to lapse, the grand master was obliged to decline to assist
the brethren. Five dispensations were granted by Brother Schoonover to
reballot on rejected candidates. In one instance two of the four peti-
tioners rejected were Protestant ministers. This must have been an ex-
hibition of sma.ll town animosity where the society of the village is di-
vided into Baptists, Methodists, and Presbyterians.

The grand master created an Advisory Council, and while he states
that there was not always an agreement, yet the judgment of his advisors
was carefully weighed before a decision was rendered.

The War Eelief of the Grand Lodge is reported in detail, the sum
of $4,000 having been given to various relief societies.

Concerning the conferring of degrees by courtesy, and in considera-
tion of the tremendous amount of labor involved, the grand master took
up the question of expense incurred and found that the average cost of
conferring degrees by courtesy was $7.50, and his proposition to reim-
burse the lodge from the emergency War Fund is worthy of consideration,
because it shows a disposition to be absolutely fair and to place the burden
of expense where it properly belongs. One thing Brother Schoonover does,
and that is to emphasize the necessity of conferring the first degree in
an impressive manner, because the future Masonic interest of the candi-

64 Appendix — Part I

date depends very largely upon the impression made at that time. He
also argues in favor of substantial fees for the degrees, and points out that
high fees do not deter men from joining the fraternity. He enters into
an extended argument concerning the remission of fees to soldiers and
ministers. His conclusions are truely Masonic and that is that all peti-
tioners should be treated just alike and that in Masonry there should be
no privileged class. He has much to say concerning the large lodge, and
very frankly admits that he is opposed to it for the reason that friendship
and brotherly love are not characteristics of the large olub, but are to
be found only in those smaller organizations where men get oloser to-
gether. He favors a system of transfer of membership, and recommends
certain modifications of the Masonic law on residence as well as con-
sideration of the initiation of a Lewis. He suggests that the prerogatives
of grand masters while according to traditions are unlimited, yet are sub-
ject to much abuse, and suggests some method of curtailing the frequent
indiscretions of these officers. He argues in favor of a system of district
deputy grand masters, and offers a plan which he thinks will result in
a closer supervision of the lodges of the state, and the bringing of general
conditions more closely under the observation of the grand master.

Ten decisions are reported, one was that a lodge might elect a blind
brother to the office of junior warden. Another was that a petition
signed by another party under written authority from a candidate tem-
porarily absent from the location of the lodge is valid. He also decideS
that the wearing of a Masonic ring by a profane who had inherited it
from a relative who was a Mason, was not prohibited by the Masonic laws
of the state. He recommended that the minimum fees for the degrees
be fixed at $50.00, of which amount $10.00 shall be paid into the Grand
Charity Fund. He recommended the appointment of a special commission
to investigate the question of large lodges. He also recommended that
the Lewis doctrine be revived which provides that the son of a Master
Mason may petition for the degrees of Masonry at the age of nineteen.
His rcommendations on this question interesting —

The recognition of that age as ' ' lawful ' ' within the meaning
of our laws. Furthermore, that by and with the consent of the
grand master, given in writing, the petition of a Lewis may
be balloted upon the same evening that it is received, in emergent •
cases, the grand master to be the judge of the emergency. To
do this is simply to trust our brother to inculcate in his son
Masonic principles to such a degree that the latter will appreciate
affiliation with us more than the ordinary profane. Many of
us would rejoice to know that the influence of Masonry and its
fellowship could be thrown around our sons during their more
youthful years, while they are most impressionable, and at the time
when impressions last longest. I would not change the restrictions
surrounding the ballot, the lodge should be the judge, but I would
go back to the old rule, and trust the Mason father.

Masonic Correspondence • 65

The Masonic Service Association and the George Washington Memor-
ial Association were given hearty endorsement. He concludes his very
interesting report with an appeal to the Masons of the world for closer
Masonic unity.

The grand secretary, Newton E. Parvin, offers one of his characteristic
documents, in which he goes much into detail concerning the affairs of
his office, and the library of which he is so justly proud.

The grand treasurer gives his receipts as approximately $73,000 and
the total disbursements $66,000. The excess of receipts over vouchers is
reported at $6,857.

The report shows that the Grand Lodge of Iowa is taking care of
its dependents at much less expense than those grand lodges which are
maintaining institutional charities, and not only that, but the grand lodge
is doing it in a liberal manner.

Among the principal business accomplished by the grand lodge was
the increasing of the fees for the degrees to $40.00, of which amount
$10.00 goes to the Charity Fund. The question of establishing a system
of district deputy grand masters was postponed for one year owing to
the importance of the subject. Much congratulation was indulged in by
the grand lodge over the fact that ninety-two Master Masons and widows
or dependent orphans were cared for at a total cost of $16,175, and this
item includes expenses of hospital and doctor bills.

The report on foreign correspondence is again prepared by Louis
Block, past grand master. It is one of those documents which is char-
acteristic of the man, and its perusal brings a wealth of Masonic informa-
tion to the student who is concerned in the general welfare of the fra-
ternity. Illinois is given eleven pages of generous consideration. He
quotes liberally from the address of Austin H. Scrogin. What he says
concerning French Masonry is quoted in full by Brother Block, with the
following observation —

While we are very fond of Brother Scrogin and proud to num-
ber him among our friends, yet we cannot agree with him upon this
subject. We believe that if Brother Scrogin will read what Past
Master Street of Alabama has to say upon this subject that he will
see the whole matter in a new light. Up to the year 1760 Masonry
did not require that the Bible should appear upon the altar as one
of the great lights. It was during that year though the influence
of Brother Preston that the requirement of placing the Bible upon
the altar was enacted. The ancient charges are wholly silent upon
any such requirement, and the only religious qualification de-
manded by these charges was that members of the order should bo
' ' good men and true, men of honor and honesty, who obey the moral
law, ' ' but that is as far as they went. These charges did not even
exact a belief in Deity.

66 Appendix — Part I

While Brother Scrogin quotes Past Grand Master Joseph Eob-
bins as his authority upon the subject of French Masonry, he evi-
dently repudiates that same authority when it comes to the sub-
ject of physical qualifications.

Brother Bobbins would turn over in his grave could he learn
of the progressive position taken by Brother Scrogin on this sub-
ject, or when it comes to the discussion of physical qualifications.

He also takes up the question of physical qualifications as recom-
mended by Brother Scrogin, and the following observations made.

For the dife of us, we cannot understand why Brother Scrogin
should be inclined to let down the bars to those who have been
maimed and wounded in the great war, and still raise them against
hundreds of other good men and true who have lost their limbs
through no fault of their own in the performance of the ordinary
duties of life.

Concerning the amendment on physical qualifications which was pre-
sented last year. Brother Block says — ■

If it is adopted, Illinois will have the most liberal, progressive
and advanced law upon this subject of all of the grand lodges in
the world. Let us hope that the efforts of Brother Scrogin and
Scott to get this law adopted will be crowned with success and that
we all may have occasion to rejoice with them in such a great
achievement.

Brother Block was exceedingly generous to the Illinois reviewer of
last year, taking four pages of liberal quotations from what was said at
that time. He resented the suggestion that the national Masonic Eesearch
Society was purely an Iowa institution, and says —

He is in error when he says that this society is an Iowa in-
stitution for it is no such thing, and the Grand Lodge of Iowa has
absolutely no control over it, nor does the Grand Lodge of Iowa
take any part in its government. Our grand lodge is simply anxious
to see it succeed because it believes heart and soul in the study
side of Masonry.

It is a matter of regret to the writer that the complete proceedings
of the Grand Lodge of Iowa could not have been in his hands in time
for this report. We have always admired our Iowa brothers for their
progressive spirit and their up-to-date manner of doing things. Within
the last two or three years they have clearly demonstrated their leader-
ship among the grand lodges of the world, and the little progress that
has been accomplished has been due largely to the fact that the Grand
Lodge of Iowa had in its membership, men who were not afraid to do
things. The Iowa plan of Masonic Unity through a Service Association
is the only thing which can at the present time save the Masonic Fra-
ternity in the period of reconstruction which is slowly taking place in
the economic affairs of the world. It is unfortunate that we have in the

Masonic CorrespoTidence 67

Masonic Fraternity men whose knowledge of Freemasonry is limited to
that which they have acquired and learned within the borders of their
own jurisdiction. So prejudiced are they in their views that they regard
everything which does not conform to their standards as practically clan-
destine, and hold so rigidly to these views that if Masonry is ever to be
unified, it must be done according to the standards which they themselves
set up. But thank God, here and there throughout the Masonic world,
fearless thinkers and leaders who have caught the true meaning of Free-
masonry are beginning to arise and it is to them that we must look for
the future development of the fraternity.

IRELAND, A. F. & A. M.

1918

The stated communication of the Grand Lodge of Ireland was held
in Dublin, December 27, 1918, The grand master, the Earl of Donough-
more, was unable to be present, and the deputy grand master took charge
of the grand lodge. He made a long address dealing with the closing
events of the war and the effect that might be expected from the New
Germany. He states that the fraternity has experienced great progress
in Ireland, and remarks that on several occasions dispensations have been
issued for the initiation of soldiers under twenty-one years of age. He
states that the receipts of the grand lodge for the year passed, exceed
that of any other period, by almost $5,000.

The deputy grand secretary makes a very long and detailed report
of the principal business transacted during the year. It would appear
from this repo-^t that the deputy grand secretary is the real officer in
charge of the affairs of the grand lodge. He reports that one Irish
lodge in India experienced a great deal of trouble in doing its work be-
cause of the inability to get a ritual containing the proper work. It
appears that this lodge purchased a ritual at a book sellers, and had
been endeavoring to do its work according to the information which
it obtained therefrom, much of which was faulty and misleading.

The following concerning regimental lodges is of more than pass-
ing interest —

Two Regimental Lodges, No. 595, attached to the Fifth
Royal Irish Lancers, and No. 420, attached to the R. I. Rifles,

68 Appendix — Part I

are still out at the western front, and they carried on their
Masonic work during almost the entire period of the war —
sometimes under particularly trying circumstances. The secre-
tary of the latter, Lieutenant Maxwell, writing shortly before
the cessation of hostilities, says, "Just before the offensive in
March, we placed our lodge box in a house about six miles be-
hind the lines, but which one of our members subsequently re-
moved in a motor wagon as he thought it unsafe, as a result
we have it today with us, our Warrant and Eegalia, only for this
it would have been lost, as the house and its contents had to be
burned to prevent it falling into the hands of the Hun." In
the early part of the year, the W. M. elect of the Lancers'
Lodge being home on leave, was installed in office, in an Irish
lodge, on behalf of 595, by special permission of grand lodge.

The grand secretary reports the donation of a stained glass window
to the Masonic Girls Home in honor of the "Tercentenary of the death
of William Shakespeare April 23rd, 1616, and to record the members
of the lodge and chapter who served their country in the War 1914-19."

Masonry in Ireland must be prospering, for thirteen warrants for
the formation of new lodges were issued.

An item concerning lodge by-laws conveys the information that
in Ireland applicants do not formally petition for the degrees, but that
their names are proposed by a Master Mason in good standing after
which the lodge may either refuse to accept the proposal or refer the
name to a committee of scrutineer's. The grand secretary calls attention
to a patent ballot box which an ingenious brother invented to insure
thorough secrecy in the matter of voting for petitioners for admission.
The Grand Lodge of Ireland is doing a good work, not only in the
matter of its charities, but also in the education of the children of
deceased Master Masons,

KANSAS, A. F. & A. M.

1918

The sixty-third annual communication, opened in the city of Wichita,
February 19, 1919, for a two-day session. Incidental to the opening
ceremonies, a most excellent prayer was offered by the Eev. Francis S.
Blaney, grand chaplain. Immediately following the ceremonies of open-
ing, the grand representatives present were formally introduced and ac-
corded the grand honors of Masonry. Illinois was represented by Eobert

Masonic Correspondence 69

Treat Tayue. The grand secretary in preparing his proceedings places
the long list of accredited representatives in the front part of his book,
a practice which is followed by very many grand secretaries. Detailed
reports of this character, properly belong in an appendix to the pro-
ceedings. A brother in examining the official reports, does not care to
wade through long lists of names and statistical tables in order to find
that which he is seeking.

The report of the grand master, William I. Stuart, is a brief docu-
ment without any attempt at elaborate display. He states that our fra-
ternity, which we interpret to mean the state of Kansas has five thou-
sand fifty-seven members engaged in military service, of which number
nearly fifteen hundred received their Masonic degrees just before or soon
after they entered the training period. The grand master states that the
labor of his office during the past year has been unprecedented, a fact
which every grand master can attest from his own experience.

Two new lodges were constituted and a dispensation for the forma-
tion of one new lodge issued. Seven hundred special dispensations were
issued during the year yielding a revenue to the grand lodge of $3,300.
Among the dispensations issued, were those authorizing business to be
transacted at a special meeting as well as balloting on petitions. During
the year, the grand lodge laid the corner-stone of a court house and a new
Masonic temple, and the grand master had the honor of dedicating two
Masonic temples. He deplores the fact that masters of lodges took very
little interest in the district meetings provided by the grand lodge. So
serious was this neglect of Masonic duty, that the grand master took it
upon himself to call these truant masters to task. This same condition
is quite noticeable in other grand jurisdictions, and many thoughtful
Masons are commencing to arrive at the conclusion that the only compe-
tent method of reaching the individual lodge, correcting its irregularities,
improving its work, and stimulating Masonic interests, is by means of
district supervisors visiting the individual lodge and holding a three or
four days school of instruction.

Under the subject of discipline, the grand master reports that the
laws of the state have been violated by lodges conferring degrees on Sun-
day also by conferring degrees in less than the lawful time without pro-
curing special authority to do so. From the statement of the grand master,
the inference is drawn that the Grand Lodge of Kansas permits lodges to
confer the degrees on Sunday upon dispensation from the grand master.

The writer is not disposed to be Puritanical and always has held for a
rational observance of the Sabbath Day. The opinion is ventured, how-
ever, that no possible good can come to the fraternity as a result of the
practice of conferring Masonic degrees on Sunday. The only result will

70 Appendix — Part I

be that of bringing Masonic lodges into competition with the church,
thereby provoking just criticism. It is equally true that Masonic lodges
ought to observe our national holidays, and not arrange all day meetings,
and stage spectacular events when all other business houses and enter-
prises have ceased operation. The good Mason spends his holidays with
his family, and the fraternity is not doing the proper thing when it uses
our national holidays to stage events which will take men away from
their homes and kin.

Grand Master Stuart states to his grand lodge that he found it neces-
sary to suspend the charters of thirty-three lodges because of infractions
of the laws. All of these charters were restored upon the lodges express-
ing regret for their sins of omission and commission, and their promise
in the future to abide by the statutes.

It is refreshing to find a grand master who is not afraid to arrest
a charter. Many lodges are under the apprehension that a grand master
is merely bluffing when he threatens to take up a charter, and for that"
reason, continue in their violations of law feeling that they will not be
molested.

The grand master very properly refused to grant permission to a
Kansas Mason, serving in the army in France, to visit French Masonic
lodges.

He reports one act of consolidation of lodges, and states that during
the year, 1897, members of Kansas lodges passed to the great beyond,
among them Mathew Miller, a stalwart man and Mason.

The grand master called attention to the excellent work of the grand
secretary, A. K. Wilson, and recommended that his salary be increased
from $1800 to $3000. It is gratifying to read that the grand lodge con-
curred in the recommendation, and that hereafter our good Brother Wilson,
can jingle two hundred and fifty shining silver dollars in his pocket on the
first day of every month.

Special reference is made by the grand master to the Masonic home
of the state, which has just been rebuilt and refurnished.

The grand treasurer reports the receipts of the grand lodge for the
year to have been $84,478.95. The expenditures, $81,403.03. It is apparent
that the grand lodge is operating at a profit of $3,072.79, but as the grand
lodge increases in membership, the claim upon it for charity will be
augmented, and an increase in the per capita tax will necessarily follow,
as has been proven in Illinois,

The report of the grand secretary, Albert K. Wilson, is a very
lengthy and exhaustive document. Every detail of his office is reported,
and an examination of the report leaves no doulit as to where the funds
of the grand lodge came from, and where they went. He reports that

Masonic Correspondence 71

during the year lodges of Kansas raised 4,192, and made a net gain in
menibersliip of 3,045 — the largest in the history of the grand lodge.

The proceedings state that at 1:00 o'clock p. M. of the first day's
session, the grand lodge was opened in ample form on the first degree of
Masonry, for the purpose of dedicating the new Masonic home. The
lines were formed and under escort of a conimandery of Knights Templar
and a Shrine band, the procession moved to the Masonic home where a
very interesting service of dedication was observed.

As we dictate these lines, we are wondering if that Shrine band
appeared in costumes of the Orient. If so, the parade must have given
visible evidence of the cosmopolitan character of Freemasonry.

The principal business of the grand lodge was largely of routine char-
acter. The cost of the new Masonic home including furniture and fixtures,
is given at approximately $168,000.

A most interesting report on French Masonry was presented to the
grand lodge by Albert K. Wilson. He quotes liberally from the report
of the special committee on French Masonry, made to the Grand Lodge
of California, and concludes with the following statement —

We, therefore, are forced to conclude that it would be a
flagrant violation of our landmarks, our constitution, our traditions,
our ritual, and our definite and decisive former actions to enter
into fraternal relationship with the Grand Lodge of France under
the present conditions and circumstances.

Tte grand lodge declined to recognize the Grand Lodge of Panama
stating that sufficient data had not been received to enable them to
report at this time. The election of officers together with the installa-
tion services and the presentation of the customary jewel ended a most
pleasant and profitable session of the grand lodge.

The report on foreign correspondence is prepared by Albert K. Wilson,
grand secretary. He gives Illinois two and a quarter pages of review.
He enumerates the principal transactions of our grand lodge without com-
ment. The handling of Grand Master Scrogin's recommendation concern-
ing physical qualifications by the Committee on Grand Master 's Address
who referred it to the Jurisprudence Committee, who in turn sent it to
the Committee on New Legislation is characterized as a double barrel
procedure. He refers to our review of last year, and explains that the
minute report made to the grand lodge by the Committee on Chartered
Lodges is necessary because it calls attention to the lack of intelligence
displa3'ed by the average lodge secretaries in preparing annual reports
submitted to the grand secretary.

KENTUCKY, A. F. & A. M.

1918

The llSth annual communication was held in the city of Louisville
commencing Tuesday, December 10, 1918. The grand lodge was able to
complete its labors in two days. The first business of importance was the
address of the grand master, Earl W. Weathers. He did not waste any
words in getting to the real subject matter of his report. Being engaged
in the service of his country, h.e was absent from the jurisdiction, a part of
the year. The first thing he did was to call attention to the criticism
directed against the grand secretary's office, because that official did not
stay in the office all the time. He advised the grand lodge that the sum
of $1,500 paid as salary to the grand secretary was not sufficient to enable
that official to live as he should in a city like Louisville. The grand master
recommended that the salary be fixed at $2,500 a year. The grand master
commends the George Washington Memorial Association and recommends an
additional subscription of $2,000 making the total amount, contributed by
the Grand Lodge of Kentucky, $5,000.

The number of dispensations granted was not large, but the number
that was refused was quite extensive, showing that the grand master believes
in upholding the rules and regulations. He states that more than six
hundred requests to confer degrees by courtesy passed through his hands.
He advises the grand lodge of the advisability of having a stenographer
present at the annual meeting to take the proceedings. He made but one
decision. A master who refused to install into office his successor, who
had been duly elected, but who had never served any lodge as warden, was
sustained in his position by the grand master.

He recommended that the Masonic Temple in Louisville be given to
the Masonic Widows' and Orphans' Home, to be operated by that organ-
ization in the hope of curtailing expense and placing the temple upon a
paying basis. The Masonic widows and orphans' home is highly com-
mended by Brother Leathers. He thinks it unwise, at this time, to attempt
to enter upon the cottage plan prepared last year and suggested that steps
be taken to enlarge the present institution. Some difficulty has been ex-
perienced in making the Masonic Home Journal the official organ of the
grand lodge successful. This trouble is experienced by editors of all Masonic
papers, who during the past three or four years have had a hard struggle
to keep them from being losing adventures. The grand master reports
that the sum of $5,000 was drawn and paid to the trustees of the Educa-
tional Committee. The deputy grand master follows with a report of the
various acts which came under his supervision. He had the good taste to
briefly detail that which he did and at no time sought to infringe upon

Masonic Correspondence 73

the prerogatives of the grand master. The total receipts as reported by the
grand secretary are $136,000, and the total disbursements $133,000. Brother
Dave Jackson, grand secretary, presented a report in which he details
financial matters and other subjects, which passed thru his hands during the
year. He reports the number of chartered lodges at 588 and the present
membership 49,071; a net gain of 3,025 for the year. He reports 962
free members, whatever that may be.

The Committee on Masonic Homes presented an extended report in
which they discuss the cottage plan of M. W. Bro. James N. Saunders.
The committee were of the opinion that owing to the tremendous cost
something in excess of $500,000, that it would be ill advised, at the present
time to change from the present plan. The committee received some com-
jjlaiuts concerning the management of the home. An investigation was
made but it was found that there was no ground for the allegations. There
is not a Masonic home in the country or in fact any charitable institution
that does not receive some criticism no matter how weil managed. An
extremely long report is made by a Commission on Masonic Unity. The
purpose of this commission according to the resolution for the appoint-
ment was to inquire into the status of the grand lodges of the world with
a view of securing Masonic unity and coordinated effort in the Masonic
world.

The work outlined for this commission is most laudable and the report
which they present to the Grand Lodge of Kentucky shows that they have
delved deeply into the subject. It is too early at this time to predict
just what may come from their efforts. But it is hoped that they will
l^ersist until grand lodges will shake down their barriers of prejudice and
come to realize that the Masonry of their neighbors is just as honest and
sincere- as that which they themselves practice.

The report of the Educational Committee provided by the grand lodge
is interesting, because it shows the work which the grand lodge is doing
in providing higher educational and vocational training for the boys and
girls who leave the orphans ' home at the age of 16 years. The grand lodgo
is doing a most noble work in this respect and is setting an example
that may be emulated by all the grand lodges. The total amount expended
last year was approximately $15,000. The grand lodge took up the question
of enlarging the present Masonic Home. The cottage plan of Brother
James N. Saunders was thoroughly discussed. The final action of the
grand lodge was in the appointment of a special committee to raise a
fund of $1,000,000. As soon as this money is secured the board of directors
are authorized to present to the grand lodge som© plan looking toward
increased accommodations in the home. The Masonic Employment Bureau
of Kentucky presents a report showing the excellent work that is being
done by that organization.

74 Appendix — Part I

The Committee on Finance submitted their report recommending that
the salary of the grand secretary be fixed at $2,500 per year. He was
also given an assistant at a salary of $100 per month. An amendment was
introduced providing for the collection of the sum of $5 from each peti-
tioner for the degrees which amount will be paid into the treasury of the
grand lodge for the support of the Masonic Home. A resolution was
adopted providing for the conveyance of the Masonic Temple in Louis-
ville to the Masonic Widows ' and Orphans ' Home. The Jurisprudence
Committee brought in a report discussing various matters of the grand
master 's address and also expressed their opinion on the validity of amend-
ments pending before the grand lodge. The committee to examine visitors
reports the examination of O. B. Irwin, St. Pauls Lodge No. 700, Spring-
field, 111. In the closing hours of the session a motion was made to recon-
sider the matter of deeding the temple jsroperty to the Masonic Widows'
and Orphans ' Homes with the result that a special committee was ap-
pointed to give the matter due consideration and to report their findings
next year.

The report on correspondence is prepared by William W. Clark. Illi-
nois is duly considered and the principal acts of Grand Master Ralph
H. Wheeler are chronicled with comments thereon.

He does not agree with Brother Wheeler in his position relating to
military lodges. He is disposed to believe that the grand master has full
power to issue authority for the organization of such lodges. Liberal extracts
are taken from the oration of Oscar A. Kropf. He thinks the address of
Governor Lowden was too short.

LOUISIANA, F. & A. M.

1919

On Monday evening, February 3, the Grand Lodge of Louisiana opened
its one hundred and eighth annual grand communication in the city of
New Orleans.

The grand master of Mississippi, W. Lawrence Wilson, was present
and was officially received by the grand lodge, after which Grand Master
George A. Treadwell opened the grand lodge and proceeded with his annual
address.

Masonic Correspondence 75

He reports recalling the disi^ensatioii issued to Liberty Lodge U. D.
which was originally formed to confer the degrees on soldiers. This work
was taken over by the regular dodges. The charter of one lodge was
arrested and the property which it owned was surrendered to the party
holding a very substantial mortgage against it. Thre-e lodges were con-
stituted during the year and eight dispensations issued for the formation
of new lodges, all of which shows the Grand Lodge of Louisiana to be
in a highly prosperous condition. He refused to issue a dispensation to
a lodge permitting the Ked Cross to occupy its apartments and serve
lunches. He did, however, permit one lodge to engage in a Ked Cross
parade. Another dispensation which excited our attention was to permit a
lodge to raise nine Master Masons on Sunday. He refused a large number
of dispensations from lodges providing for the initiation of young men
under the age of 21 years. A number of questions with the answers thereto
are presented, under the heading of decisions. Most of them, however,
are purely local in their application.

The grand master reported that an examination of the petitions used
by the various lodges of the state showed a great diversity of form, and
that the Committee on Jurisprudence had prepared a form of petition
which all lodges would be required to use. Brother Treadwell reports one
rather unusual circumstance. He says that the potentate of the local
Mystic Shrine planned dedicatory ceremonies for last November which were
far more elaborate than would be warranted during war times. He there-
fore took the matter up with the Potentate and made a request for a cur-
tailment of the proposed entertainment, assuring that official that unless
he concurred in the request that it would be necessary for the grand master
to prohibit Master Masons to taking part in the ceremony.

The Iowa plan of Masonic service is reported in full. The grand master
recommends that the Grand Lodge of Louisiana get behind the project and
give it its most cordial support.

The grand treasurer reports receipts of $G0,C28 and expenditures of
$67,033.

The report of the grand secretary is an extended document covering
many of the details which were attended to by him during the year. He
gives the net increase in membership as 1,144 and the total number of
Masons on the roll being 20,528.

The Louisiana Board of Eelief make a very interesting report. The
lodges of the state voluntarily contributed $4,805 for this work. The
amount expended for the relief of indigent members of the fraternity
was $3,844, of which amount $165 is charged against Illinois.

76 Appendix — Part I

Louisiana maintains two grand Icctnrers and from their reports it
is apparent that their principal business is to visit and instruct the lodges
of their respective jurisdictions.

A report from the Committee on Work is interesting. In a closing
paragraph they remark —

We are inclined to deprecate the lodge orator and oratory,
but we think there should be a plain talk given in each of the de-
grees by some member of the fraternity in whom all have confidence
putting plainly before the candidate the seriousness of his under-
taking as a Mason.

This plan may work all right, but the chances are that it is more
likely to bring disastrous results than to attain the object desired. There
are so few Masons who really understand the fraternity or have any
knowledge of its history, that there is a large chance of much false in-
formation being panned off on the candidate. Just at the present time
there is an epidemic of symbologists who are disposed to connect Free-
masonry with all the ancient symbolisms from time immemorial. Some
of the dissertations by these sjTubol cranks are so weird and wild that
they put the tales of Baron Munchausen in the shade.

The writer is a firm believer in intelligent discourse in Masonic lodges,
but the problem is to find speakers who have Masonic sense enough to
prox^erly represent the fraternity.

An oration delivered by Albert Pike before the Grand Lodge of
Louisiana in 1858 was resuscitated and read by the grand master. The
idea is not a bad one. Albert Pike was one of the keenest Masonic stu-
dents that the fraternity ever produced. It would be far more helpful
to the society to hear read articles from the addresses and works of men of
his caliber than to listen to much of the effervescence which frequently
bubbles over in our grand lodges under the guise of the annual oration.

From a report of the Committee on Foreign Correspondence, it is
apparent that down in Louisiana that committee passes upon the grand
master's choice of grand representative, either approving or disapproving
the selection which he makes.

An interesting report is made to the grand lodge on the state of the
order. The suggestions which they offer are valuable.

The salary of the grand secretary was fixed at $3,000 per year.

The Committee on Work introduced a resolution providing that five
Fellow Crafts may be raised at one meeting of the lodge and that the
lecture must never be omitted when the first and third degrees are con-
ferred.

Masonic Correspondence 77

The election and installation of oflEicers closed an important meeting
at wliicli much was accomplished.

The report on foreign correspondence is quite brief covering almost
forty-one pages. Illinois is not among the jurisdictions reviewed, probably
due to the fact that our proceedings were not received in time.

MAINE, A. F. & A. M.

1918

The proceedings of the Grand Lodge of Maine are picked up with
more than passing interest for the reason that the Grand Printer of the
Grand Lodge of Illinois Alonzo Dolan was born in this particular state
and has always looked upon it as the garden spot of all creation to
say nothing about shore dinners. The 99th annual communication assem-
bled in the city of Portland on May 7, 1918. One hundred eighty-two
of the 206 chartered lodges were represented at the opening ceremonies
which were brief.

The annual address of Waldo Pettenville, grand master, is very brief.
It is one of the shortest that has come under the notice of the writer cover-
ing just eight and one-half pages. He makes the customary references
to the war and recommends the observation of the one hundredth anni-
versity of the grand lodge to be held the next year. One new lodge was
constituted, and one new Masonic temple dedicated. He reports the nom-
ination of Frederic Oeton as representative of the Grand Lodge of Illinois
near the Grand Lodge of Maine. The number of dispensations reported
is limited. Among the decisions given is one to the effect that each can-
didate for the degrees must be balloted upon separately, another one stated
that a lodge hall could be located in a dwelling house or tenement if the
hall is properly secured to the satisfaction of the grand master.

The grand secretary reports the net gain in membership at 598. It
is apparent that the wave of Masonic prosperity which is sweeping the
country has not struck the state of Maine at the time of formulating
this report. The grand treasurer gives receipts of approximately $11,000.
The expenditures were nearly $12,000.

The report of the treasurer was referred to the Committee on Finance.
The grand secretary's report, however, was laid on the table. Later on

78 Appendix — Part I

the Finance Committee in making their report recommended that the re-
port of the secretary be taken from the table and approved, a rather
unusual proceeding. The matter of recognizing the Grand Lodge of Prance
was brought before the grand lodge in the form of a special resolu-
tion, recommending that recognition be granted. This resolution went
to the Committee on Jurisprudence which followed the usual course of so
many grand lodges to use the slang of the street that of "passing the
buck," for it recommended that the whole subject go over for one year
and be investigated by a special committee. A telegram of confidence
was sent President Wilson and was responded to by Mr. Tumulty. The
Committee on Jurisprudence made a detailed report but found no fault.
Recognition was extended to the Grand Lodge of Panama. It is noticed
from the proceedings that those grand lodge representatives who wanted
to go home were obliged to ask permission from the grand lodge and re-
ceive a majority vote upon their request before being relieved from fur-
ther attendance. The report on foreign correspondence is prepared by
a committee of which the distinguished craftsman, Albro E. Chase, is
chairman. Brother Chase is undoubtedly a pillar of strength in Free-
masonry in Maine for he is not only Committee on Foreign Correspondence
but is also grand treasurer and a member of the Committee on Jurispru-
dence.

His review of Illinois is interesting. He states that the musical con-
cert given preceding the meeting appears from the proceedings to have
been given after the grand lodge was opened. The remark by Grand
Master Wheeler in his reference to the Advisory Council wherein he stated
that their views have in practically every instance been by view, Brother
Chase characterized as "wonderful to say."

Liberal extracts are taken from Brother Wheeler's remarks concern-
ing district deputies, military lodges, remission of dues, and other sub-
jects. Concerning the sending of all interjurisdictional correspondence thru
the offices of grand masters. Brother Chase suggests that the price of
postage having "ris" it would be a good time to return to the old method
of direct communication between lodges. Brother Chase must have been
diligent in his review of the correspondence of Charles H. Martin for he
quotes liberally various paragraphs taken from the review of other juris-
dictions than that of Maine.

MARYLAND, A. F. & A. M.

1918

The semi-annual meeting held May 14, 1918, was one of sorrow, for
Thomas J. Shyrock, who had served the grand lodge as grand master
for nearly thirty-three years had passed to his reward. M. W. Brother Shy-
rock died February 3, after a brief illness. His Masonic record is un-
usual. He believed in Freemasonry, he lived it, and put forth his best
endeavors toward its propagation. When he became grand master, he
found the fraternity in Maryland to be highly disorganized, and threat-
ened with financial ruin. He used his own private fortune to save the
grand lodge from disaster and thru his untiring efforts, the fraternity
today is in a highly prosperous condition with abundant funds at its
command. The last time the writer saw him was at the triennial conclave
Los Angeles, California, in June, 1916.

In discussing his long services as grand master he suddenly looked
up and said, "Darrah, it is my life." The funeral of this distinguished
Mason as recorded in the preface of the proceedings was a worthy tribute
to the man and Mason, Thomas Jacob Shyrock.

The Grand Lodge of Maryland holds two communications each year.
A semi-annual meeting was held May 14, 1918, in the city of Baltimore.
The grand lodge was opened in full form and ceremony by the deputy
grand master, after which, the grand master was escorted into the pres-
ence of the grand lodge and conducted to the east. The business trans-
actions at this meeting appears to have been mostly financial reports. An
amendment to the constitution was adopted, requiring every lodge to
pay into the grand treasury $5.00 for each Master Mason initiated, outside
of the city of Baltimore and $7.00 for each Mason initiated in the city
of Baltimore. This amendment also provided for the payment of semi-
annual dues of GO cents for members residing out of Baltimore and 90
cents for those residing in the city of Baltimore. The annual meeting
held November 19, 1918, appears to be the important one of the year.
It was the 132nd annual assembly of the grand lodge. The acting grand
master, Charles C. Homer, addressed his brethren conceining the war, and
the activities of the Masons of Maryland in doing what they could toward

80 Appendix — Part I

tho realization of victory. One zealous brother caused the grand master
a great deal of trouble. He applied to several lodges for admission and
failing to secure an election or a waiver of jurisdiction, modified the
spelling of his name, changed his residence in due time was elected,
initiated, passed and raised. Of course the grand master ordered him
placed on trial and had him suspended from the privileges of Freemasonry
and referred the case to the Committee on Grievances for final disposi-
tion. Maryland has experienced the Masonic boom for the acting grand
master states that tho influx of new members has been without precedent.
The grand lodge apparently has plenty of funds coming in to meet its
expenses and is operating at a substantial profit.

The grand secretary must have had his hands full in collecting the
rents of the various Masonic bodies occupying the Masonic temple for
the list is a long one. The grand lecturer states that his work was ser-
iously interfered with on account of the Flu but that he did succeed
in conferring the Master Mason's degree on 200 candidates. The amend-
ment relating to an increase in the per capita tax was changed by the
committee to read 75 cents for country members and $1.10 for city of Balti-
more members and the amendment in that form was adopted. A long
report is made by the Committee on Grievance. They go into much detail
in the discussion of evidence and the law. The Grand Lodge of Maryland
evidently believes in the efficacy of music for the sixth liberal art as we
understand it Masonically was profusely used. All thru the proceedings
of the grand lodge there were vocal and instrumental numbers of classi-
cal character, all uplifting and inspiring. At the election of officers Charles
C. Homer Jr. was chosen grand master. It will be interesting to note
whether the Grand Lodge of Maryland follows its old plan of continuing
the grand master in office indefinitely or whether it adopts the one and
two-year plan of most grand bodies. The installation of the grand master
was conducted by the deputy grand master, after which the grand master
installed the deputy grand master, senior and junior grand wardens, grand
secretary and grand treasurer. Following this the grand master an-
nounced the list of appointive officers but there is nothing in the pro-
ceedings to show that they were installed. The report on foreign cor-
respondence is from the pen of Henry Branch, past senior grand warden.
Illinois is briefly reviewed. He likes the idea of eliminating the word
Masonic in connection with insurance companies. He thinks our grand
lodge did a little act of juggling when it decided that a man engaged
in the liquor business could not petition for the degrees and then laid
over an amendment providing a penalty of expulsion for those Masons
who might hereafter engage in such enterprises.

MASSACHUSETTS, A. F. & A. M.

1918

It is always a pleasure to pick up the proceedings of the Grand Lodge
of Massachusetts, for the reason that many of the men active in its
welfare are personally known to the writer. Then the proceedings of the
grand lodge are interesting because they possess a literary value. In each
year book there will be found not only illustrations of Masonic temples
and distinguished Freemasons, but also much data of intense value to the
Masonic student. Charles T. Gallagher, past grand master, has contributed
some very valuable documents which show him to be a keen Masonic stu-
dent and thoroughly in sympathy with telling the truth concerning the
institution.

The Grand Lodge of Massachusetts is probably the oldest on the Ameri-
can continent. It follows the old English plan of quarterly communi-
cations. One was held in the city of Boston on March 13, 1918. Leon
M. Abbott, grand master presented an address characteristic of his ability
and foresight as a zealous grand master. The question of federal taxes
came to his attention and he rightly said —

I am much less troubled about the danger of being required
to pay a tax, vexatious and unjust as I believe it would be, than I
am to have our time-honored institution put into the class with
social, athletic, and sporting clubs in a national government desig-
nation. Such relegation will be resented by every true craftsman.

Tlie grand master found it necessary to make a ruling that service
as regular warden for the period of one year in a lodge acting under
dispensation makes such member eligible for election as master. Grand
Master Abbott has something to say about proselyting, and quotes ex-
tensively from Mackey's Encyclopedia concerning this Masonic sin. He
concludes by saying —

I am impressed that our brethren ought to be reminded that
it is one of our most sacred traditions that no one shall be solicited
or invited to join our fraternity.

A candidate's application must come of his own free will and
accord, of his own initiative, and unbiased and uninfluenced by
any member of the craft. Let me read you what Mackey says
in regard to this subject:

"In plain words. Freemasonry is rigorously opposed to all
proselytism. While its members do not hesitate, at all proper
times and on all fitting occasions, to defend the institution from
all attacks of its enemies, it never seeks, by voluntary laudation
of its virtues, to make new accessions of friends, or to add to
the number of its disciples.

82 Appendix — Part I

"Nay, it boasts, as a peculiar beauty of its system, that it is
a voluntary institution. Not only does it forbid its members to use
any efforts to obtain initiates, but actually requires every candidate
for admission into its sacred rites to seriously declare, as a pre-
paratory step, that in this voluntary offer of himself he has been
unbiased by the improper solicitations of friends. Without this
declaration, the candidate \YOuld bo unsuccessful in his applica-
tion,"

He recommends the appointment of a special committee to prepare
an adequate burial service for the reason that the present ritual service
is cold, stilted, formal, and comfortless. The Grand Lodge of Massa-
chusetts raised $58,000.00 for war purposes. Thirty-five hundred dollars
of which was spent in erecting a theater at Camp Devins. The business
transacted at this quarterly meeting was largely routine in character. A
most excellent address was made by Charles T. Gallagher presenting what
are known as the Dunham aprons to the grand lodge and a rehearsal of
the activities of Captain Jerimiah H. O 'Brien, a member of St. Andrews
Lodge of Boston who won the first naval victory of the war of the Eevo-
lution.

At the quarterly communication of June 12, the grand master reports
the purchase of an additional six acres to be added to the Masonic home
holdings. He also reports a contribution of $22,388 to the Masonic home
made under the Lucinda P. Dudley will. Concerning recognition of the
Grand Lodge of France the grand master says —

When the Grand Lodge of France restores the name of Diety
to its constitutions and ritual and requires of its initiates a belief
in God, then indeed shall we be glad to give them most cordial
recognition and extend the right hand of Masonic fellowship.

He states that additional income must be provided in order to meet
the increasing expenses of the grand lodge. The debt on the Masonic tem-
ple is given at $188,000. He urges the brethren of the grand lodge
to give the subject earnest consideration. At this communication a charter
was granted one new lodge and a donation of $1000 to the war relief
fund was reported from St. Barnard Commandery of Boston. One brother
who was serving a life sentence for murder was expelled. Another Mason
who made a business of borrowing money from his brethren and failing
to pay it back was charged with conduct unbecoming a Mason and ex-
pelled from the fraternity. At the quarterly communication held Sep-
tember 11, concerning the ritual 'the grand master has the following to
say —

We are imposing a very great hardship upon the officers of
our constituent lodges in distant parts of the state in requiring
them to come to Boston in order to consult our degree ritual
and become letter perfect in its rendering. It takes a vast amount
of time to memorize the ritual from word of mouth, and it is

I

Masonic Correspondence 83

rare indeed that it is passed from one officer to another with abso-
lute accuracy. Many grand lodge jurisdictions provide cipher
rituals for the officers. Massachusetts makes the use of them
a serious offense. I am not yet prepared to recommend the use
of cipher rituals, but I do say emphatically that if we are to con-
tinue to prohibit their use we should place copies of our ritual
in safe and convenient places in different sections of the state
where it may be consulted and studied by lodge officers at a mini-
mum of trouble and expense to them.

He recommends an increase in lodge dues and condemns the practice
of lodges depending upon initiation fees to maintain current expenses.
He also thinks lodges ought to send out notices of their meetings because
it helps to keep the members in touch with the lodge. He holds that Ave
should not accept an application for degrees or membership from any
marii who has not first taken the oath of allegiance to the country. At
this meeting a new Masonic burial service was adopted. A Mason who
had acquired three wives without taking the trouble to arrange for proper
detachments from his triple matrimonial alliance was expelled from all the
rights and privileges of Masonry. A splendid address was made to the
grand lodge by Grand Secretary Frederic W. Hamilton on the subject
of Lafayette the Apostle of Constitutional Liberty. The final quarterly
meeting was held December 11, 1918. The grand master makes what is
called his annual address. Ho reports an improvement in the financial
condition of the grand lodge due to a curtailing of the general expenses and
a marking up of the rentals of the Masonic temple in Boston. The grand
lodge has a number of substantial trust funds now aggregating $900,000,
$90,000 of which is invested in Liberty bonds.

He reports Masonry in the Canal Zone to be in a flourishing condi-
tion and recently signed a dispensation for the formation of a new lodge
at Gatum. The list of visitations made by the grand master is a long
one. If he was wined and dined at each one of these functions and was
obliged to keep up his end of the game it would not be surprising to
learn of an impaired digestive system. The closing remarks are good —
The temper and the spirit of Prussianism are still rampant and
unconquered even in our land and among our own people, perhaps
in ourselves, in the entertainment of evil and selfish thoughts,
motives, and aims.

Democracy, what crimes are committed in thy name!
Bolshevism, socialism, communism, yes, ecclesiasticism,
threaten with fresh impulse the freedom, happiness, and welfare
of our people and would establish an autocracy as blinding, bind-
ing, and tyrannous as ever fettered the mind and chilled the hearts
of men.

To every member of our time-honored fraternity there comes
today from out of the ashes of the great conflagration of war
a despairing cry for help. A piteous appeal for protection, sym-
pathy, and comfort, yes, for guidance to those paths of endur-

84 Appendix — Part I

ing peace which lead to the temple of eternal happiness. What
sign of brighter promise could there be than the indisputable
evidence of a splendid awakening by the members of our craft
to the dangers that threaten and to the opportunities that are
presented to give living expression to Masonic principles?

Unprecedented numbers are seeking and securing the privileges
of our membership. We are becoming more and more recognized
as guardians of liberty and leaders of advancing civilization.

A great and sacred trust is in our keeping. A test of the
honesty and sincerity of our professions is offered and accepted.

A revision of the code and regulations of the grand lodge was pre-
sented by a committee and duly adopted. Prior to the election of officers,
the grand secretary announced the total number of votes that might
be legally cast was 739. Leon M, Abbott was re-elected grand master.
Massachusetts does not observe rotation in office. It does not recognize
a deputy grand master. It follows the original plan of Masonry by cre-
ating wardens and past wardens from which select company it chooses its
grand masters. Grand Secretary Hamilton evidently believes that the
brethren are entitled to know the inside of the balloting, for the names
of all candidates are given together with the number of votes received.
A Mason who had been too intimate with one of the petticoat family was
expelled from the fraternity. A stated communication of the grand lodge
was held on St. John's Day, December 27. The principal business of
this meeting appears to be the installation of the grand officers. At
each of these assemblages, the grand lodge honors three toasts to-wit —
To the memory of the Holy Saints John.

(The toast was duly honored by the brethren, all standing.)
Brethren, the second regular toast: To the memory of our
illustrious brother, George Washington.

(The second toast was duly honored by the brethren in the
same manner.)

Brethren, the third regular toast : To the memory of our
departed brethren.

(The toast was duly honored by the brethren in the same
manner.)

Following the services the annual banquet was served after which
there was a lengthy programme of addresses germain to the occasion. The
grand master in his remarks related a little personal incident which shows
the conception some have of Masonic officials —

A short time ago, I drove my automobile in to have some
slight repairs made and the superintendent, who was a Mason,
had tipped off the foreman, who was also a Mason, that I was
the present grand master of the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts.
The foreman looked at the job to be done as I drove the car in,
then he looked up to me and he said, "They tell me that you are

Masonic Correspondence 85

the head push in Masonry." I said, "No that is not so. I am
simply at tlie head of the Masonic push."

The Grand Lodge of Massachusetts does not recognize a committee
on foreign correspondence. For that reason there is no review of other
grand lodges made a part of the ' report.

MICHIGAN, F. & A. M.

1919

The year book issued by the Grand Lodge of Michigan for the year
1919 is of unusual proportions. The roll of Michigan Masons who an-
swered their country's call is printed, the pages being beautifully em-
bellished by a border of flags.

The seventy-fifth annual communication was held in the city of Kala-
mazoo, May 28, 1919. Following an address of welcome, the grand lodge
took a recess until 1:30 o'clock P. M., at which time the grand secretary
called the roll of deceased past grand masters.

Michigan grand masters serve but one year, and the roll of deceased
officers is naturally a long one. The grand master, Hugh A. McPherson,
presented his address to the grand lodge. He expresses great joy at the
termination of the war, and refers to the deceased of other grand juris-
dictions and reports the constituting of three new lodges. One corner-
stone was laid during the year, that of a school building, and five Masonic
temples were dedicated. The grand master made numerous official visits
to the lodges of his jurisdiction showing his desire to keep in touch with
Masonic conditions. Three new lodges were formed for which dispensa-
tions were issued. One lodge surrendered its character because of its
inability to procure a suitable place of meeting. The town where the
lodge had formerly met is referred to as a "deserted village." Of the
one hundred fifty-four dispensations granted by the grand master, one
hundred thirty-five related to war conditions. The proposed Masonic Ser-
vice Association was endorsed, and the recommendation made that the
Grand Lodge of Michigan unite in the enterprise.

A proposed flag ceremonial which had been on trial by the lodges
during the year, received the approval of the grand master and the rec-
ommendation was made that it be adopted.

86 Appendix — Part I

The grand master calls attention to the rapid growth of spurious
Masonic bodies all over the United States, and warns lodges to guard the
outer gate and to admit no one without proper credentials.

The removal of the grand secretary's ofSce from Eeed City to Grand
Eapids is chronicled, and that staatemcnt made that the Grand Lodge
of Michigan now has an office which is the equal of any in the country.

The Masonic Home receives the highest commendation. A recom-
mendation is made that the minimum fees for the degrees be fixed at
$30.00 and the minimum duos $2.00. The grand master reports no de-
cisions, stating that during the year he took up all perplexing matters with
the chairman of the Jurisprudence Conmiittce and arrived at a proper solvi-
tion of all difficulties involved. The grand master recommends that all
decisions of grand masters be eliminated from the Blue Book.

Brother McPherson is to be congratulated upon presenting to his
grand lodge, a plain straight forward paper, wherein he set forth his
various acts in a way and manner to prevent any misunderstanding.

The senior grand warden reports concerning the activity of the grand
lodge in the entertainment and care of Masons at Camp Custer. The re-
port is a very long one, however, the sum of $9,000 was collected and
$8,623 spent in making our soldier boys happy. The grand treasurer re-
ports receipts of approximately $29,000 and expenditures of slightly over
$40,000.

The grand secretary, Lou B. Winsor, makes a report which is com-
plete in every detail.

The net gain in membership in Michigan lodges is given at 4,606,
and the present membership in the state 96,403. Michigan lodges have
2,456 life members and remit the dues on 15,000 members for charitable
reasons.

The report of the grand lecturer goes much into detail and shows
that during the year he held 123 lodges of instruction, which were attended
by 391 masters and 18,150 members of lodges.

The Board of Control of the Michigan Masonic Home make a thor-
ough and complete report which reveals that the per capita cost per week
for serving meals is $2.27. The board are to be congratulated for the
economy displayed during these days of present high costs.

The Flag Ceremonial which had been on trial with the lodges was
regularly adopted.

An amendment to the by-laws was adopted providing that the ballot
for advancement may, at the discretion of the master, be taken collec-
tively.

Masonic Correspondence 87

The grand lodge was called to refreshment long enough to permit
Mrs. Elizabeth Webster, who had been looking after the soldier boys at
Camp Custer, to be introduced and tell something of the character of her
work. The report which she made is interesting in the extreme, and
shows exactly what Masonry can do when properly organized and directed.

The grand lodge accepted the invitation of the Grand Lodge of Eng-
land to be present at the special convocation held last June, and ordered
the grand master and grand secretary to attend.

The retiring grand master was given a jewel and an apron, after which
the newly elected officers were installed, and the grand lodge closed.

The report on correspondence is prepared by our mutual friend, Lou
B. Winsor. It is a document of three hundred thirty-three pages. Illinois
gets nine pages of review. Liberal extracts are taken from the address
of Grand Master Austin H. Scrogin. His edict requiring lodges to work
in the English language is quoted in full, as well as all that the Com-
mittee on Jurisprudence said concerning the restoration of the charter
of Lessing Lodge of Chicago. Brother Winsor quotes three pages from
the Point of View with which the correspondence report of 1918 was
prefaced, and in so doing paid the writer an appreciated compliment.

MINNESOTA, A. F. & A. M.

1919

The proceedings under review open with a half-tone portrait of the
grand master, William N. Kendrick, in the full uniform of United States
soldier. St. Paul entertained the sixty-sixth annual coumuinication held on
Wednesday, January 15, 1919.

Two hundred and four out of 270 lodges were represented. The address
of the grand master, W. N. Kendrick, is a long one. The grand master
is to be commended for the following statement made in his opening re-
marks—

Because, in this country, Masonry is divided into forty-nine ■

separate jurisdictions with forty-nine diverse policies, we have lost

one of the greatest opportunities that ever has knocked at our door.

Let us not mourn over the fact, but profit by our mistake. Let us

not be caught napping again.

L

Appendix — Part I

It is to be sincerely hoped that other grand masters will awaken to
the serious condition which confronts the Masonic fraternity at the present
time because of the lack of coordination. The grand master approved
the by-laws of several lodges, granted fifteen dispensations, refused many
to set aside the time limit concerning balloting and conferring, the degrees,
and approved 187 requests from foreign jurisdictions to have work done
by Minnesota lodges. The grand master reports that all soldiers were
furnished with Masonic diplomas printed in foreign languages. He approved
a number of requests permitting lodges to occupy Masonic halls with other
lodges. An increase in the traveling expenses of the grand master was
recommended. The corner-stone of a soldier's monument was laid and
one lodge constituted, the service being performed by the officers of the
grand lodge. Owing to war work the grand master was not able to make
as many visitations as he had hoped. He urges the formation of study
clubs stating that now the war is over, we should turn our attention to
commencing to know ; imething about our fraternity, in order that we
may appreciate its great work. The George Washington Memorial Asso-
ciation is highly commended. One lodge was brought upon the carpet
because it issued an objectional lodge notice. There are a good many other
lodges that ought to be subjected to the same discipline, for there is too
much tendency at the present time toward poster advertising of lodge
activities in order to excite the attention of the profane with the hope
of arousing his curiosity to the extent of getting his petition for the de-
grees. The charter of one lodge was arrested because it had raised six
candidates at one and the same time. Later on the grand master restored
the charter when he found that the work they had done was by courtesy. The
grand master has a lot to say about physical qualitification and expresses
the thought that the time has come when a modification should be made in
the now stringent laws relating to physical perfection. The sum of $1,500
was sent to the Grand Lodge of France to assist them in their war
emergency work. The Iowa plan of a Masonic Service Association is
given full discussion and the recommendation made that the subject be re-
ferred to a committee of three to divisc means of meeting the requirements
in case the grand lodge wished to take up membership in this society. A
long dissertation was indulged in by the grand master concerning French
Masonry. Much valuable data is presented and a suggestion made to the
grand lodge that recognition of the Grand Lodge of France is quite desirable.
The acting grand master, George M. Stowe, who served the grand lodge dur-
ing the time the grand master was away from home in war service makes a
short report. He expresses great surprise at the large number of ques-
tions asked by brethren which could be quickly answered by reference to
the code.

The grand treasurer reports total receipts of $23,000 and expendi-
tures of $20,000. The report of the grand secretary states there were

Masonic Correspondence 89

raised in Minnesota in the last year 2,259, the net gain in membership
is 1,552 while the number of members at the close of the report is an-
nounced at 36,976. The Committee on Grand Masters Address confine
themselves to separation and reference and do not attempt to influence the
action of the grand lodge on any subject matter. The grand lodge is
wrestling with the location of a Masonic home. The brethren of St. Paul
and Minneapolis have agreed to donate the sum of $50,000 for the pur-
chase of a site near the Twin Cities. It was expected that the location
would be acceptable to the grand lodge. The report shows about $130,000
availble for the construction of the home, but owing to the condition of
the building market it was thought that nothing would be done at the
present time. The Jurisprudence Committee make an observation in their
report which ought to be taken home by every Mason who is disposed to
consider the laws of the fraternity as of light and trifling character.

Laws have been enacted, both in the state and in fraternal
organizations, for the more orderly conduct of society, and to these
laws all should submit themsolves. Law should be obeyed because
it is the law, and not be lived up to or disregarded, according to
the whim of the individual, and for an individual, lodge, or other
body to say that a law is obnoxious, and therefore should be dis-
regarded, breeds disrespect for all law and leads to anarchy, as
is unhappily exemplified in so many parts of the world at the
present moment. If a law is a bad law, repeal it, but as long as it
is law it should be obeyed.

"T^he Jurisprudence Committee approved the proposition that the Grand
Lodge of Minnesota become a part of the Service Association of the United
States. A Committee on Masonic Unity presented a report favoring the
recognition of the Grand Orient of France as well as the Grand Orient
of Italy. The report went to the Committee on Jurisprudence, to report
their findings next year. The Committee on Jurisprudence made a supple-
mentary report providing that the possession of an artificial limb or part
under the practical control of the candidate shall not be considered a
bar to membership. The grand lodge concurred in the recommendation.
The committee made another report that a petitioner for the degi-ees or
afliliation need not be a full citizen of the United States. They base their
conclusions on the assumption that matters of this kind could be left to
the discretion of the individual lodge. The installation and presentation
of the jewel closed the session.

A most excellent oration was delivered by Jacob N. Nicholson, grand
orator. It was a recital of the principal acts of the war and some of
the deductions are most excellent. The oration is not printed in the pro-
ceedings proper but appears in the appendix. The report on correspendcnce
is prepared by Irving Todd. It covers just seventy pages, and is brief
in the extreme. Certainly the Masons of Minnesota cannot charge the cor-

90 Appendix — Part I

resiiomlent with verbosity or squaudering the funds of the grand lodge.
Brother Todd has been very generous to Illinois. He briefly comments on
the principal transactions of the grand lodge and refers to the correspon-
dent report of last year, as one of the bidkiest that came to his notice.
Concerning an inquiry as to why a number of lodges were not repre-
sented at the meeting held in 1917, Brother Todd says —

"NMiile admitting that the attendance upon the annual sessions
of our grand lodge is not what it should be, considering the
lilieral per diem and mileage paid, how about Illinois with seven
hundred and twenty-seven lodge reported present out of eight hun-
dred and sixty-nine F Should not the inquiry begin a little nearer
home? Connecticut is the only jurisdiction with a full representa-
tion. If one of their lodges fails to respond at roll call it has to
show cause the following year. And the grand lodge pays nothing
for attendance upon its annual communications.

Concerning the many allusions in Grand Master Berg's address to New
Testatment facts and characters he states that he called Brother Berg's
attention to our criticism and that he replied as follows —

I made use of quotations from the New Testament in my ad-
dress to the Grand Lodge of Minnesota for the same reason that
the grand chaplain of Illinois injected the prayer of our Lord Jesus
Christ at the opening of the grand lodge (p. 3), and the grand
master's reference to Gethsomane and Armageddon in his address
to the Grand Lodge of Illinois (p. 7).

Concerning the attitude of the Grand Lodge of Illinois toward military
lodges Brother Todd observed that the Grand Lodge of Illinois has changed
considerably from the stand taken by it during the Civil War.

MISSISSIPPI, F. & A. M.

1918

The 101st annual communication was convened in the city of Meridian,
February 26, 1919. The opening evercises were held in the city hall, the pre-
liminary features being music, addresses of welcome, and an address by the
grand matron of the Eastern Star. These services were held at 7:30 o'clock
in the evening preceding the grand lodge session. The first business of the
grand lodge was the annual address of the grand master, W. Lawrence
Wilson. He says even the president of this, the greatest nation under the
sun, in outlining his plans for universal peace is recommending the things

Masonic Correspondence 91

taught by Freemasonry from time immemorial. This may be true. And
if so, he is doing it unconsciously rather than knowingly, for so far as is
known President Wilson has never evinced the slightest interest in Free-
masonry. The work of the grand lecturers and district deputy grand masters
is highly commended. He found time to visit forty-three lodges during
the year. It goes without saying that the brethren like to see the grand
master and are always pleased when he comes to visit them. Charters
were issued for the formation of two new lodges, three lodges were given
permission to change their places of meeting and two were allowed to change
their names. Five hundred and twenty-two dispensations to 1)allot out of
time and confer degrees were issued on account of military service. One
lodge was given permission to meet in a schoolhouse until such time as its
lodge room which had been blown down by a storm could be replaced.

A senior warden, who permitted irregular balloting, while presiding
in the absence of the master was deposed from office. The grand master
decided that a candidate in taking degrees could not affirm. Several lodges
are commended because of the splendid record in war service. Hattiesburg
Lodge conferred 914 degrees by request, besides 88 for themselves, making
a total of over a thousand degrees conferred in ten months' time. Missis-
sippi, like several grand lodges has the books of the secretary and treasurer
audited by a special auditor. The grand master made several recommen-
dations. One was that the present system of lecturing lodges be abolished
for the reason that 150 lodges had been lectured at a cost of $4,658.40,
which added to the amount expended by the lodges, $1,875, made the total
cost $6,533.40.

The grand master believed that it would be much cheaper for the
grand lodge to hire a regular lecturer at a sufficient salary, rather than
to continue the present service. Another peculiar custom the grand master
wanted stopped was permitting lodges to deduct mileage and per diem
in remitting grand lodge dues. It seems that it has been the practice
for secretaries to take this amount out of the required remittance and then
never send anyone to represent the grand lodge. He also recommended
that lodges, failing to pay their dues within the required time be fined $10
for the first month's delay and $5 for each month thereafter. Why not
give the lodges to understand that they must either live up to the law
or forfeit their charters, and do away with the idea of fines which in nine
cases out of ten, are assessed and soon after remitted. The grand master
reported the grand lodge very much in need of revenue to carry on the
work of the Masonic Home. He expressed himself, however, as being op-
posed to any increase in the per capita tax, it being as high at the present
time as the average lodge could stand.

The reports of the district deputy grand masters are purely formal.
There is nothing to be gained from them that will prove helpful to the

92 Appendix — Part I

craft. The grand secretary gives a list of 79 lodges which conferred
more than 21 degrees, or a total of 3,321 degrees. The grand treasurer
makes no report inasmuch as the details of his office are reported by the
Finance Committee. The Jurisprudence Committee make a long report in
which they present seventeen questions to which they formulate answers
which they call opinions. They decided that a man who can neither read
nor write could not be made a Mason. Quite a long report is presented
from the Masonic Home Board. The need of greater revenue is emphasized,
and a recommendation made that an assessment of one dollar per capita
upon all lodges in the state for the maintenance of the home. A resolution
was introduced requiring every candidate for the honors of Masonry to
answer the questions "Do you believe in the existence of God? Do you
believe in the immortality of the soul?" The Law Committee made a rec-
ommendation that the petition for degrees be changed to embody these
questions. One good thing the grand lodge did was to do away with
perpetual jurisdiction over rejected candidates, requiring every candidate
for the degrees, to state in his petition the fact of a former rejection
should such be the case, leaving the lodge to make such investigation as
might appear necessary. The report of the Committee on Necrology is
short covering barely a half page. The record states that George C.
Myers was elected an honorary past grand master. A modification wa^
made in the law on physical qualifications so that the loss of a hand or
foot would not debar a petitioner. The Finance Committee make a report
and append thereto a detailed statement made by a public accountant
concerning the exact financial status of the grand Jodge. The Masonic
Service Association received the endorsement of the grand lodge and a
pledge was made to do its pro rata share of whatever work the craft might
engage in. A special committee was appointed to inquire into the present
system of lecturing lodges and to recommend some form of improvement
at the next annual session. A special committee was also appointed to
ascertain all the facts relative to the laws, customs, and practices, of the
Grand Lodge of France and to report their findings and recommendations
at the next annual meeting. The election and installation of officers
ended the session. There is no report on foreign correspondence made a
part of the proceedings although the record shows the appointment of a
fraternal correspondent with a salary fixed at $150 per year.

MISSOURI, A. F. & A. M.

1918

It requires a book of 550 pages to record the transactions of the
98th annual meeting held in the city of St. Louis September 17, 1918.
Illinois is always interested in its bordering jursidictions, and looks with
much interest at their annual transactions. It is a matter of sincere
regret that there is not a greater and more frequent exchange of visits
between grand officers of the several neighboring grand lodges.

The grand lodge evidently did not wish to have its proceedings in-
terrupted with extraneous matters. For preliminary to the opening the
children from the Masonic home were presented and rendered a most ac-
ceptable program of music. Following the opening ceremonies which
were brief, the grand master, William A. Clark, read an address of 20
pages in which he chronicled the principal matters which came under his
supervision, during his term of office. He reports the year just closed
as the most prosperous in the history of the grand lodge. Eeferring to
the tremendous increase in membership he thinks that the experienced
Mason sees great dangers arising from this unusual influx into our society.

He points with pride to the fact that no Mason in Missouri has
been untrue to his country and that there are no slackers in the Masonic
membership of the state. Dispensations for the formation of two new
lodges were issued and the charter of one lodge arrested, it having fallen
into decay. Brother Clark had much to say concerning Freemasonry in
France. He sums up the question in the following language —

The history of the fraternity in France is confused and some-
what difficult to follow. Originally the French Freemasonry and
the English Freemasonry seem to have been identical. Neither
of them required a Bible to be upon their altars. Later the Eng-
lish speaking lodges adopted the Holy Bible as one of the Great
Lights and soon after the French Freemasonry followed their ex-
ample. This innovation seems to have brought upon them many
troubles, and the lodge struggled for many years under various
forms of oppression.

We must remember that they were working in a Catholic coun-
try and that this religion has always been inimical to Freemasonry.
The Catholics claimed that it was forbidden to have the Bible
in an unconsecrated building, which they considered a Masonic
hall to be, and the brethren were compelled by this longtime enemy
of Freemasonry to evade in every way possible domiciliary visits
and penalties for having violated this canon of the church.

Furthermore the Jews who were numbered in the membership,
claimed that if Masonry were entirely Christian, then the Jews
could have no part or parcel in it. That the Christian Bible con-

94 Appendix — Part I

tained things which they did not believe and it was proper that
the Jewish Bible be placed upon its altar.

The craft in France struggled under these difficulties for
many years making but little progress and suffering many priva-
tions, privations of which we in this country can hardly conceive,
and finally as a means of liberating the craft from contentions
which seemed to threaten its entire destruction, the grand master
of France, a Protestant minister, advised that the French lodges
revert to the original plan which both the English and the French
lodges had adopted in their beginning. This gave the Church of
Rome a chance to sow dissension in the ranks of Freemasonry,
which raised a cry of atheistic France. It was proclaimed that
the French Masons had removed God from their constitution, the
Bible from their altars, and later like accusations were brought
against the schools of the Eepublic. As evidence that such an
idea was not in the mind of the grand master who proposed
the change, I beg to cjuote his words at the time he made the
recommendations :

"Let us leave to churches and theologians the discussion
of dogmas. Let us leave to accredited church authorities the
formation of systems. Let Masonry continue to be what she ought
to be, an institution open to progress of every sort, welcoming all
moral ideas, all elevated ideas, all large and liberal aspirations.
Let us never descend into the arena of theological discussions,
which discussions have never, believe me, resulted in anything but
troubles and persecutions. Let Masonry take care not to aim to
lie an organized church, a council, or a synod, for all church organ-
izations, all councils and all synods have been violent and perse-
cuting, because they have all taken dogma as their base, which
base is in its nature essentialh^ inquisitorial and intolerant. Let
Masonry soar majestically above all questions of churches and
sects; let her tower in her height and grandeur above all their
discussions; let her be the shelter for all brave and noble spirits,
for all conscientious and disinterested seekers after truth, and
finally for all the victims of despotism and intolerance. ' '

He recommends that proper recognition be given to the Masons of
France. He states that he has made quite a few decisions, and reports
that the practice of requiring lodges to first submit their questions to the
district deputy grand master has been the means of relieving his office
of a vast amount of work. He made a decision that it was contrary
to the laws of the state for a Mason to sign a petition for the granting
of a saloon license and comments —

I yield to no man in the delight I shall feel on that day when
Imperial Missouri shall lift aloft, higher than hor mountain tops,
the banner of white, proclaiming to the world her freedom from
the tyranny of intemperance, and debauching of her manhood by
the legalized sale of intoxicating liquors.

Jurisdiction over soldiers caused the grand master some little an-
noyance. He held, however, that soldiers should petition the lodges of

Masonic Correspondence 95

their legal residence. He discouraged rapid transit methods of confer-
ring degrees but rendered every assistance he could iu helping soldiers to
receive the honors of Masonry among the lodges in Avhole jurisdictions they
found themselves. A recommendation was made that a special com-
mittee be appointed to study the trial code of other grand jurisdictions
with a view to perfecting a system for Missouri,

The New York conference is given extended notice. He favors united
action among the grand lodges of the state and suggests that $5,000 be
made available for ready use. The district deputy and the grand sec-
retary received very flattering recognition because of the many burdens
which they took from the grand master. TTie first real business of the
grand lodge was manifest in sending a telegram of confidence to Presi-
dent Wilson. The concluding sentence was ' ' There are no slackers, hyphen-
ates or traitors among the Freemasons of Missouri. ' '

A letter was read from Thomas E. Black of Ellsbury contributing a sub-
stantial sum for an endowment for the Masonic home. A Committee on
Necrology make a report very much out of the ordinary in which the question
of making democracy safe for the world undergoes discussion. The Grand
Lodge of Missouri arranges for a blanket bond covering the offices of
secretary and treasurer. Eight lodges availed themselves of the oppor-
tunity to bond officers and paid a nominal premium. John R. Parson, the
venerable and efficient grand secretary renders one of his characteristic
reports. He gives the present membership 74,201. A gain of 4,057 for
the year. The grand treasurer reports receipts of $132,000 and dis-
bursements of $131,800. TTie cash balance of the grand lodge is $45,000.
The Committee on Grand Master 's Address is composed of all past grand
masters. This is a pretty good committee on which to place these officers
who have served their time, and whose principal business is showing
themselves at grand lodge and other Masonic functions.

A resolution carried providing for a special overseas war committeee
and an appropriation of $10,000 for the establishment of Masonic head-
quarters in Frpuce. The grand lodge rcadopted fifty fatherless children
of France and set apart a sufficient sum for their care during the coming
year. The grand lecturer makes a long report in which he tabulates the
reports of the district lectures as submitted to him. A cable of confi-
dence was sent to General Pershing and a reply received. The grand
lodge held an evening session on the first day, because it was deemed
advisable to finish the work of the grand lodge in two days instead of one.
At this meeting greetings were sent to the Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows
of Missouri, then in session in St. Louis. The grand chaplain, Arthur
Mather made a short address after which C. C. Bigger, a playmate of
General Pershing, entertained the grand lodge with stories of their boy-

96

Appendix — Part I

hood days. The Committee on Chartered Lodges in Missouri certainly
earn their money for they presented a report which showed that they had
been diligent in their examination of the returns of lodges. The Masonic
Employment Bureau of St. Louis did a good work. Nine hundred and
nineteen were placed in positions at an expense of $2,867.38. This em-
ployment bureau is maintained by a per capita tax of 25 cents on the
members of St. Louis lodges. The governor of the state sent a telegram
to the grand master praising the Masons of Missouri relative to their
leadership in war activities. A long set of resolutions were adopted
setting forth the labors of J. E. Parson in behalf of the Masonic home
and giving him the enconium of the Father of the Home.

The Committee on Jurisprudence presented a majority and minority
report. The minority report was substituted and adopted. Somehow the
sympathies of grand representatives always go to the fellow who's fighting
the crowd.

A special committee on Masonic Temple brought in majority and
minority reports. The minority member expressed the view that this
was not an opportune time to engage in building enterprises. The grand
lodge must have held the same view for it adopted the report. The
grand lodge extended recognition to the Grand Lodge of Panama but the
grand lodge refused to recognize the Grand Lodge of France. One thing
the grand lodge did and for which it is to be commended was placing
the representatives of U. D. lodges on the payroll.

The installation of officers and the presentation of the customary jewel,
the singing of America closed the session. The report on foreign cor-
respondence is prepared by C. C. Woods. He says that he approaches the
proceedings of the Grand Lodge of Illinois with profound respect. He says
that the bulk of the volume commands attention, and gives a partial view
of the virility of the order.

The prayer of the grand chaplain is quoted in full and is called strik-
ing for its fitness and beauty of expression. A liberal extract is quoted.
This should prove pleasing to Walter Aitken. Brother Clark liked the
idea of the Code-quiz prepared by Owen Scott and thinks that if masters
could be made to study the pages of such a book the labors of the grand
masters would be lessened, but aye there's the rub. Brother Clark sus-
tains Brother Wheeler in his position relative to military lodges.

MONTANA, A. F. & A. M.

1918

The fifty-fourth annual communication was held in the city of Billings
on August 21, 1918. The session covered two days and was opened by
an address of welcome which was fittingly responded to after which the
grand lodge was opened and the Committee on Credentials having reported
a constitutional quorum present, the grand master, Francis D. Jones, read
his annual report to the grand lodge. It was a long document
covering fifty-two pages. He discusses the reconstruction of the world
as a natural consequence following the great war. He pays extended
tributes of respect to the dead of his own and other grand jurisdictions.
He announces the appointment of Edwin E. Mills of Chicago as grand
representative of the Grand Lodge of Montana, near that of Illinois, suc-
ceeding Albert B. Ashley, deceased. He states that he instituted no new
lodges in person, and that of the new lodges formed, all of them held
first meetings with no formal ceremony of institution. During the year,
corner-stones were laid of a Presbyterian church and a Carnegie library.
The public exercises incident to the corner-stone ceremonies were hold in
auditoriums following the outside services.

The usual number of dispensations covering various cases were issued
by the grand master, seven of which were for the formation of new lodges.
Quite a number of lodges received permission to ballot on candidates in
less than the lawful time. The list of official visitations made by the
grand master is a long one, and shows that he was not unmindful of the
lodges in his jurisdiction.

Concerning the making of a charge for the conferring of degrees for
other lodges the grand master oljscrves that the practice is one of courtesy
and not a business transaction, and for that reason, no charge can legiti-
mately be made.

The grand master reports correspondence which he had with Grand
Master Austin H. Scrogin, concerning a candidate for the third degree who
had removed to the jurisdiction of ILlinois and was being advanced in
Silvis Lodge No. 898. Much complication arose concerning the fact that
the candidate stuttered so terribly that he was practically deprived of
speech. The result of the matter was that the candidate was raised without
the usual formality of examination.

The various conferences of Grand Masters are thoroughly reviewed
and the plans outlined receive his cordial endorsement. Only two decisions
are reported by the grand master, and they are of local significance. A
number of recommendations are advanced, the total number being twenty.
They deal almost entirely with conditions of the craft in Montana.

98 Appendix — Part I

The grand treasurer makes a very complete report covering many
details ■which usually are to be found in the province of that official.
The receipts are given at $34,605 and the expenditures $13,331. The finances
of the grand lodge appear to be in excellent condition, and the work being
carried forward at a substantial profit.

The question of recognizing the Grand Orient of France came up
in the form of a resolution signed by one hundred thirty-six members of
the grand lodge. After considerable discussion, the whole subject was
tabled.

The grand secretary presents a general report of more than passing
interest. He introduces one subject which ought to be brought to the
attention of all grand lodges, and that is the reclamation of suspended
members. He has the following to say upon the subject —

The longer that I am engaged in Masonic work, the more I
am impressed with the idea that greater efforts should be put
forth to secure the reinstatement of members suspended for non-
payment of dues. Lodge secretaries, principally, can do a great
work in the tactful collection of annual dues of the lodge members
and some supplementary work on the part of masters in aiding
and encouraging the secretaries in this most difficult task, will
produce good returns.

While the matter of inviting Masons to affiliate after moving
to a new place of residence is not generally overlooked, yet there
is great merit in the extension of a fraternal welcome to such
sojourners, coupled with an invitation to imite in becoming mem-
bers of the lodge in the new place of residence and business. It
is amazing how some of our lodges have acquired members in
this way. Billings No. 113 admitted 14 the present year; Havre
12, while the lodges at Hardin and Hobson gained 7 each in this
manner.

Some of our lodges erroneously have the impression that a
term of residence is required before a stranger is eligible to peti-
tion for affiliation. This, however, is not the case.

One ]3eculiar thing the gi'and lodge did, and that was the appoint-
ing of a special committee to censor the grand lodge proeedings, with a
view to trimming down expenses as much as possible. A resolution relat-
ing to the use of electric bulbs instead of burning tapers failed to receive
recognition, and the matter was left to the good taste of the lodges
themselves.

Just prior to the close of the grand lodge, the grand representatives
were received and accorded the grand honors. The presentation of the
signet ring and the installation of officers closed the session.

The report on foreign correspondence is prepared by H. S. Hepner,
past grand master. Illinois is considered in three pages of interesting

Masonic Correspondence 99

matter. Liberal quotations are taken from tlic report of Grand Master
Ralph H. Wheeler, and the various acts of our transactions for 1917 arc
chronicled in brief.

NEBRASKA, F. & A. M.

1919

Through the courtesy of Francis E. White, grand secretary, we are in
receipt of an advanced copy of the proceedings of the Grand Lodge of
Nebraska which permits the review of the transactions of that body at its
sixty-second annual communication, held in Omaha, June 3 and 4, 1919.

Of the 274 chartered lodges, 229 were represented at roll call. Pre-
liminary to the opening ceremonies, veterans of the Civil War, the Spanish-
American War, and the late war met in an outside room and in due time
escorted the Star Spangled Banner into the presence of the grand lodge.
The brethren were called to attention and saluted the flag with the grand
honors of Masonry. An address of welcome and a fitting response con-
cluded this interesting part of the ceremonies.

Immediately following the opening Grand Master Ambrose C. Epper-
son delivered his annual address. He has something to say concerning
the war and the cessation of hostilities, and mentions the responsibilities
of Freemasonry in the period of reconstruction which is to follow. He pre-
sents the invitation from the Grand Lodge of England to attend the
celebration to be held on June 27, and urges the Grand Lodge of Nebraska
to be represented.

The Masonic Home of the state received his commemlation, and he
urges the necessity of the establishment of adequate hospital facilities.

It is noticeable that other grand jurisdictions are taking up this
identical question. It has been found that grand lodges in caring for
the able bodied indigent, have not been meeting their full responsibility
and that in order to look after the helpless who in fact are the real ob-
jects of charity, adequate facilities must be provided to properly take
care of them. The grand master has something to say about the Orphans
Educational Fund, and reports that through the generosity of the lodges,
the fund has now reached the magnificent sum of $101,000. The Masonic
Service Association received the endorsement of the grand master, and

100 Appendix — Part I

the subject is referred to the grand lodge for its earliest cousideration.
The grand master refused to lay the corner-stone of a church on Sunday,
and in so doing he followed the generally accepted attitude of grand masters
on this subject. The corner-stone of a court house and a public school
building were laid by the grand lodge during the year.

One rather unique observance is that of awarding what is known as
the Jordan Gold Medal to the oldest Master Mason in the state. The
holder of this memento, having died, the jewel was passed on
to his successor. It appears from what the grand master has to say
that cypher rituals are quite numerous iu Nebraska, and a recommenda-
tion is made that lodges having them in their possession be summarily
dealt with. The gi-and master found it necessary to issue many dispen-
sations to confer degrees out of time. Twenty-one decisions are reconled,
one was to the effect that a Fellow Craft who had petitioned a lodge and
assumed the name of his stepfather rather than his own, should bo per-
mitted to receive the Master Mason's degree, but that the records in the
grand secretary's office should bo changed to show the real name of the
petitioner. He decided that a lodge could not require a petitioner for
dimit to pay his dues beyond the period or date when his petition for
diniit was filed. Another decision which is rather peculiar, reads ' ' that
a Master Mason holding a dimit for more than three years and who has
applied for affiliation each six months and been rejected, must be considered
the same as a suspended Mason. ' '

The grand master joins the jirogrcssives in recommending a change
in the law on physical qualifications permitting the initiation of those
possessing physical defects.

One new lodge was formed during the year and a dispensation issued
therefore. The grand master closes his address with a paragraph on the
future of Nebraska Masonry in which he says some very pertinent things.
He expresses the thought that the Masons of Nebraska have been too ex-
clusive and that the time has now come to remember that the field of
Masonic activity is not limited to the territorial boundaries of the state,
but that the principles of relief and brotherly love are world wide.

The report of the grand secretary is a complete document in every
detail. He reports the net gain in membership to be 1,551 and the pres-
ent membership 28,136.

The general receipts were approximately $56,000 and the expendi-
tures $52,000.

The report of the grand custodian is interesting, and he has much
to say concerning the promulgation of the work during the year. The
central or state schools of instruction are fully endorsed, and the thought

Masonic Correspondence 101

expressed that tliey would be of greater success if the officers of the
grand lodge would attend and assist in the promulgation of the work.
The grand lodge directed the grand master and grand secretary to visit
the Grand Lodge of England on June 27. A Committee on Foreign Cor-
respondence bring in an interesting report on the question of recognizing
the Grand Lodge of France. The conclusions are that recognition be
deferred until the fundamental requirements of Masonry, namely, restora-
tion of the Bible to the altar and a belief in God are complied with.

The report of the Committee on Promulgation of the work contains
a recommendation that where lodges take no interest whatsoever in the
the standard work, that the grand custodian be empowered to hold a school
of instruction in that lodge and that upon failure of the brethren to take
a proper interest, the grand master deal with the case as the circum-
stances may warrant.

The Committee on Fraternal Dead extend their sympathy to Illinois
because of the passing of Monroe C. Crawford and Austin H. Scrogin,
two distinguished members of the craft.

On the evening of the first day, the grand orator, W. J. Einger, de-
livered an oration upon the subject of Vision. It is an excellent paper
and one which must have held the attention of his audience.

One thing the Grand Lodge of Nebraska did and that was to sustain
the penalties assessed against lodges by the gralid secretary because of
their failure to send in their annual returns within the prescribed time.
This is about the first grand lodge that has come under our notice wherein
the penalties were made to stick. Most of them assess fines and then
remit them, making the whole procedure a ridiculous one.

The Committee on Jurisprudence treated the grand master mighty
well. While they naturally found some fault with his decisions, yet in
the main they were endorsed and the principal points sustained.

Nebraska is codifying its laws and has a committee at work on that
project. The Committee on Finance fixed the grand secretary's salary at
$2,400 and allowed him $1,600 for clerk hire.

The installation of officers closed the session.

There is no report on foreign correspondence. Much space, how-
ever, is given to the publication of an honor roll giving the name, lodge,
and branch of service of each Nebraska Mason engaged in the war.

NEVADA, F. & A. M.

1918

Nevada boasts of twenty-three lodges and 2,079 Master Masons. The
54th annual communication opened Tuesday, June 11, 1918, in the city of
Eeno. The first order of business was the reception of grand repre-
sentatives. They were formally presented and were addressed at some
length by Edward A. Ducker. The representatives must have been very
patient for the address delivered covers five printed pages. It may be,
however, that the senior grand deacon, brought in chairs for the repre-
sentatives to occupy during the delivering of the lecture, the same as
is done in not a few Illinois lodges at the present time.

A pleasing feature of the first day was the presentation to the grand
lodge of a handsome American flag, the gift of the wife and daughter,
mother and sister of past Grand Master Trenmor Coffin, Sr., and his son
Trenmor Coffin, Jr., both devoted Freemasons, now deceased.

The climax of the presentation address made by Silas E. Eoss is
quoted —

In behalf of Marie Coffin Summerfield, the wife and mother,
and Emily Coffin Eoss, the daughter and sister of these two men,
tried and true, I ask you Most Worshipful Grand Master to accept
in behalf of the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the
State of Nevada the Stars and Stripes, and in the words of another
' ' the flag of Bunker Hill and Lundy 's Lane, the flag of Bueua
Vista and Chepultepec, the flag that cast its protecting shadows
where sails the Oregon, the flag that flashed and blossomed amid
the snows of Alaska and anchored a watch fire upon the island of
Hawaii. The same flag that sported with Freedom in the bays of
Manila and Santiago, and was planted in righteous defense on the
walls of China. The flag that gashes rock-ribbed mountains and
causes the oceans to mingle their waters. The first flag that was
born to represent a people rather than a monarch or a savage.
The flag that has never known surrender. The flag that is destined
to win, and to banish unholy strife and usher in ten thousand
years of perpetual peace. ' '

Grand Master Thomas Lindsay presented a brief report which was a
concise resume of his acts as grand master. He referred to the dead, of
his own and other grand jurisdictions. The roll of deceased brethren was
then called by the grand secretary after which, the grand chaplain offered
a prayer for the repose of their souls. Immediately following this diversion
the grand master proceeded with his report, which for the most part is
merely a detail of degrees conferred by courtesy, approval of by-laws,
visitations, and other data, of very little interest outside of the jurisdiction
of Nevada. One peculiar case arose, in a lodge, wherein a commission

I

Masonic Correspondence 103

could not be obtained to try an accused brother. The grand master rec-
ommended that the law be amended to make it possible under such circum-
stances, to take a change of venue to another lodge.

Brother Lindsay reports no decisions for which he is to be commended.
In his report, he favored the recognization of the Grand Lodge of France
and asked the Grand Lodge of Nevada to give this earnest consideration.
His concluding remarks are worthy of repetition.

Today, my brethren, we hear much of this word democracy.
The great American, Lincoln, defined it as government of the peo-
ple, by the people, and for the people, and no better definition has
been given. Where can you find a better example of its true spirit
than in the lodges of Masonry? We Masons meet on the level;
we discuss matters freely and get acquainted; we are fair and
square in all of our dealings, consistently applying the doctrine
of mutual concessions, and we ever keep well to the fore the highest
ideals of liberty, truth and justice, given to us by our God for
the good of all.

The grand treasurer received $2623.00 and paid out $4,295.00 for
which amount $2,000 was for the purchase of Liberty bonds. The grand
secretary makes a very complete and detailed report. He opens with quite
a number of comments and recommendations which according to custom
are usually in the province of the grand master.

On the morning of the second day the Finance Committee brought in
a report fixing the budget for the year. Among the contributions recom-
mended was one for one hundred dollars for the Y. W. C. A. for the
University of Nevada. This certainly was a very generous act, but in
so doing is not the Grand Lodge of Nevada, setting a rather dangerous
precedent. WTiat is to prevent the friends of other organizations from
making similar demands upon the generosity of the grand lodge. If it
favors one group of individuals what is it going to say to the friends
of other groups. In fact where is it going to draw the line. The grand
lodge voted to recognize the Grand Lodge of the Eepublic of Panama,
also the Grand Lodge of France.

The grand lodge changed its time of meeting to the second Wednesday
of June of each year. This change was deemed advisable in order that the
grand commandery might meet on Monday and the grand chapter on
Tuesday of the same week. The grand orator, Lewis G. Campbell, delivered
a most excellent address upon the subject of The Builders. His remarks
were timely, and in accordance with the spirit of the hour.

An amendment to the laws was su])mitted prohibiting any lodge in
Nevada from conferring degrees by courtesy upon anyone who has not re-
ceived the first degree in the lodge in which he was elected. This pro-
posed amendment went to the jurisprudence body which august body reported

104 Appendix — Part I

adversely and their report was adopted. Installation of officers and con-
cluding addresses closed the session. The report on foreign correspondence
is prepared by Edward D. Vanderleith, who is styled the grand commis-
sioner of review.

He briefly reviews the report of Grand Master Eal})h II. "Wheeler for
1917, commends the code-quiz compiled by Owen Scott, and excerpts a
paragraph from the oration of Oscar A. Kropf.

NEW BRUNSWICK, A. F. & A. M.

1918

This grand lodge celebrated its semi-centennial January 22, 1918.
The atfair was held in the city of St. John, at 7:30 o'clock in the evening,
the program being made up of music, religious services and an able ser-
mon delivered by the grand chaplain, Archdeacon Crowfoot, who took as
his subject the mission of Masonry. He traced the history of liberty as
it has come to the nations of the world, and drew the conclusion that the
true mission of Masonry is to keep the taper of liberty alight.

The fifty-first annual communication was held in the city of St. John on
the 23d day of April, 1918. The grand master, D. C. Clark, made a very
competent report concerning the transactions of his office during the year.
He opens with the remark that 10,000 Masons from New Brunswick have
fought the fight and kept the faith on the battlefields of Europe. He
reports the growth in membership to be most satisfactory and urges lodges
to keep the standard high.

One corner-stone was laid during the year, that of a school building.
Numerous visitations were made to the lodges of the jurisdiction. On
each occasion the grand master was received with every courtesy and
made to appreciate the hospitality of Freemasonry. Among the recom-
mendations made is one that the grand secretary be given a permanent
office and a salary sufficient to enable him to devote his time to his
duties. The grand secretary reports receipts of $3,800 all of which was
paid to the treasurer. One hundred and nine were raised, the net increase
for the year being seventy-eight. The report of the grand treasurer shows
the assets to be $18,000.

Masonic Correspondence 105

The election of officers occurred early in the transactions and according
to tlie law, four scrutineers arc required to supervise the taking of the
ballot.

The grand lodge appropriated $400 to defray the expenses of visits
of instruction to subordinate lodges. It also waived the payment of
grand lodge dues on all soldiers in the service who had been exempted from
the payment of dues by their respective lodges. The installation of officers
and the singing of the national anthem closed the meeting. No report on
fraternal con'espoudencc was made a part of the proceedings.

Proceedings not received.

NEW JERSEY, F. & A. M.

1919

The Grand Lodge of New Jersey is entitled to take rank among the
Ancients, for the one hundred and thirty-second annual meeting was
held in the city of Trenton on Wednesday and Thursday, April 16 and
17, 1919.

The grand lodge was opened in ample form, and under the leader-
ship of the grand organist, an ode was sung, after which distinguished
visitors from several neighboring jurisdictions were received and ac-
corded the honors due their various stations and places.

The grand master, Herbert C. Eorick, read an address in which
he presented in a concise, interesting manner, the various matters which
he had been called upon to administer during the year. He refers to
the close of the war, and expresses much joy in the fact that we are
about to realize in the world, liberty, equality, and fraternity. During
the year the grand master received 187 applications to act upon the
petitions of persons possessing physical defects. In each case the grand

106 Appendix — Part I

master ordered a physical examination to be made with the result that
164 applications were granted, fifteen refused, and eight are now pending.
Bequests to confer degrees were numerous, and the grand master com-
pliments the lodges for the way and manner in which they looked after
the conferring the degrees by courtesy.

Grand Master Rorick found time to visit forty-three lodges, where
he was received with the honors due his exalted Station. The grand
master reports the condition of the Masonic Home to be excellent. After
the signing of the armistice, a change was made in the form of appli-
cation, it being made to include the name "Mother," in order to pro-
vide suitable care for those mothers who became dependents through
the death or disability of their sons who were serving in the Ameri-
can army.

The grand master appears to have had the same trouble with lodge
bulletins that other grand masters experienced, and he found it necessary
to caution his lodges against publishing the names and addresses of can-
didates. The proposed Masonic Service Association is fully outlined by
Brother Rorick, and he recommends its approval by the grand lodge.

From what the grand master has to say concerning war work, it
is apparent that our brethren of New Jersey were by no means remiss
in their duties.

The report of the grand treasurer states that he received from the
grand secretary, $69,784 and disbursed $80,413. However, the grand
lodge is in a most excellent condition financially.

The grand secretary reports a net increase in membership of 2,307
and gives the number of Master Masons in good standing, as 49,788.

In the list of requests to confer degrees by courtesy, Illinois is
credited with thirty-eight, while the record shows that eight Illinois
lodges conferred degrees for New Jersey lodges.

The report of the Committee on Masonic Homes goes much into
detail, but presents conditions and finances in a way and manner that
leaves no doubt but that the committee are discharging their duties
in a thoroughly efficient and painstaking manner.

The report of the Committee on Necrology is a long one. They
record the Masonic data of each past master who died during the year.

The Grand Lodge of New Jersey held an evening session on the
first day at which the grand lecturer exemplified the esoteric work of
the three degrees.

The Committee on Library present a report which is of more than
passing interest, and it shows that they are not so much concerned

Masonic Correspondence 107

in collecting books and periodicals for the casual reader, but that their
greatest desire is to furnish the Masons of New Jersey with that in-
formation which will help them to know something about the fra-
ternity of which they are members. A letter of inquiry which was
sent out, brought the following information: Out of 66 lodges, 5 have
libraries; 4 adopted plans to promote interest in the study side of
Masonry, not one of the 66 had a study class; 21 had occasional Ma-
sonic talks or lectures; 43 expressed themselves as being interested in
a Masonic Lecture Bureau. A resolution was passed directing the grand
master and grand secretary to attend the especial Grand Lodge of the
United Grand Lodge of England in the city of London, on June 27, 1919.

The Committee on Masonic Jurisprudence decided that the grand
master was fully within his province in advising the lodges that they
must not print the names of candidates in lodge bulletins, but that
the committee could see no objection to a continuation of the present
practice of lodge secretaries notifying the members of petitions re-
ceived so long as the same were sent under sealed cover, and the inten-
tion was to furnish data that would be valuable in balloting.

The committee apparently believe in conducting Masonic lodges for
the benefit of the stay-a-ways. If a member of a lodge hasn't sufficient
interest in its affairs to attend its meetings, he certainly is not entitled
to have sent to him each month, the names of petitioners under con-
sideration in order that he may use the information thereby gained to
visit his lodge and cast a black-ball against someone for whom he holds
petty spite.

The grand lodge appropriated the sum of $5,000 for the benefit of sick
and wounded Masons in the various war camps of New Jersey.

The grand lodge also modified the requirements of admission to the
Masonic Home so that the mother of a Master Mason might be re-
ceived.

The election and installation of officers was practically the last
act of the grand lodge. Just before closing, a petition signed by several
brethren requesting the privilege of using the German language in the
ritual, was presented and referred to the Committee on Eitual for con-
sideration and report at the next annual communication.

Robert J. Sherrifs, chairman of the Committee on Foreign Corres-
pondence, presents a report covering 118 pages. In a very laconic man-
ner, he reviews the principal events and transactions of our grand lodge
session of 1918. He concludes his observations on our correspondence
report of last year, with the following comment —

108 Appendix — Part I

If we were the word juggler Brother Darrah accuses us of
being we would throw a dash in between his first two initials
and let it go at that, but we know him and like him, and offer
him our compliments upon his judgment in appending some good
copy to his altogether interesting review.

NEW MEXICO, A. F. & A. M.

1918

The Grand Lodge of New Mexico held its forty-first annual communi-
cation in the city of Tucunicari on October 14. The grand lodge convened
at 10 0 'clock A. M. and was opened in ample form. A constitutional number
of lodges not being represented owing to the health conditions throughout
the state the grand lodge was called from labor to refreshment, subject
to the call of the grand master. On December 9, the grand lodge reassem-
bled and proceeded with the transaction of business.

The grand master opened with the usual references to the war and
the victory which has been achieved. He enumerates the names of the dead
in his own and other grand jurisdictions and reports a long list ,of ap-
provals relating to the conferring of degrees by courtesy. In one instance
a lodge in New Mexico was requested to install the senior warden elect
of a lodge in Minnesota. Several dispensations were issued permitting
Masonic lodges to sublet their places of meeting to other organizations.
The grand master was quite liberal in waiving the time limit on soldier
candidates both as to balloting and conferring of the degrees. He reports
the suspension from office of the grand treasurer of the grand lodge, in
order that the interests of Masonry in New Mexico might be properly con-
served. Ten decisions are reported, one question related to receiving the
petition of a German who had been eighteen years a resident of the juris-
diction. Of course the grand master decided in the afiLi'mative. Another
decision was that there was no law requiring Masons to be buried east
and west. He refused to render an opinion asked for by an individual
lodge member to settle a dispute, holding that the question should be sub-
mitted by the lodge under seal in order to gain recognition. Dispensations
for the formation of three new lodges were issued. The grand master con-
cluded his report by recommending that the usual banquet served in connec-
tion with the meeting of the grand lodge be dispensed with. The deputy
grand master who served during the period that the grand master was ab-

Masonic Correspondence 109

sent, made a reijort covering his acts which are given in detail. The grand
treasurer gives his receipts at $6,673. The disbursements $5,884.

The exhibit of work gives a net gain of 362 for the year and the
total membership in the state 4,338. The Committee on Grand Masters
Address approved all of his decisions with the exception of one, which it
sends to the Committee on Jurisprudence. This committee approves the
report of another committee relating to electioneering for olHce, and recom-
mends that what they said, be not incorporated in the printed proceedings.

The Committee on Foreign Correspondence which had been considering
the question of recognition of the Grand Lodge of France asked for further
time. The grand lecturer asked permission from the grand lodge to exem-
plify on the evening of the second day, the third degree, and the permissiou
was granted. One brother who was in destitute circumstances received
attention from the Committee on Charity. From the report, it appears that
this man had a wife and four children dependent on him and had reached
the stage of life when his earning capacity was quite limited. The lodge,
of which he was a member had been contributing $15 a month, and the
committee recommended a further payment of $15 per month to the desti-
tute brother. Just how far anybody is going to get on an allowance
of $30, who has a wife and four children to support with the present soaring
prices of everything, is a matter of conjecture.

The Grand Lodge of New Mexico was not at all generous, in this
case and it is a fair example of how Masons in general preach charity
and administer it most penuriously. The report of the grand lecturer is
interesting because it shows that in New Mexico, that officer visits all
prospective new lodges, instructs the officers, and sees that they arc Ma-
sonically well organized before recommending them for dispensation. The
installation of officers and the presentation of the jewel closed the session.
The Committee on Foreign Correspondence is a committee consisting of
John Milne, and James M. Wroth. They open their report by expressing
admiration for Grand Master Ealph H. Wheeler, because he placed before
the grand lodge without mincing words, conditions as he found them. Various
other acts are briefly reviewed without comment.

This grand lodge holds quarterly meetings. The transactions, how-
ever, are presented in one volume. TTie first quarterly meeting under
review, was held September 12, 1917. The deputy grand master read the
report of the grand master, who was imable to be present, on account of
sickness. Koutine matters, only, are recited.

The chain prayer comes in for consideration and the Masons of the
state are asked not to engage in the dissemination of this piece of litera-
ture. The Board of General Purposes which handles the principal affairs
of the grand lodge, makes a customary report, but disclose nothing of
unusual interest. The longest report is made by the grand inspector
of workings and deals with various affairs which came under the direct
observance of this official in his visitations to the lodges of the jurisdiction.

One thing for which the brethren of New South Wales are to be com-
mended is for their zealousuess in benevolence. The roll of honor which
is made part of each quarterly report and contains the names of soldiers
in overseas service, is a long one. The list of those killed in action brings
home the seriousness of war. At the second quarterly meeting held De-
cember 12, the grand master makes a report which has to do principally
with his visitations to lodges. He gave 108 dispensations, 8 of which
were for the initiation of a Lewis, showing that the grand lodge believes
in the initiation of those under 21 years of age. The Board of General
Purposes report nothing unusual. When the motion was made to adopt
the report of the board one brother objected on the ground that a question
on physical qualifications which had been submitted to the board from
his lodge had been ignored. The grand master declared the speaker out
of order, because the question of physical qualifications was more in
the hands of the grand master than in those of the board. So much for
having a double-headed administration. Tie grand inspector makes a de-
tailed report of Ms visitations. The freedom with which he uses the name
of individuals ought to make his report interesting to those who who like
to see their names in print. At the third quarterly meeting held March
13, 1918, the grand master addressed the grand lodge concerning the vis-
itations he had made to lodges. This time he reports 69 dispensations, 8
of which were for the initiation of a Lewis. The craft in New South
Wales evidently believe in keeping in close relationship with the govern-
ing powers, for a grand master and his warden called upon the newly
elected governor and extended him a hearty welcome on the commencement
of his term of office as governor of the state of New South Wales.

The governor made no formal reply but thanked the committee for
their call. The governor is evidently quite a foxy politician and is taking

Masonic Correspondence 111

good care that uo opportunity be given cor knocking pickets off his fence.
The following conclusion to the grand master's address is reproduced in
full. It is so interesting that it will no doubt be taken home by thought-
ful Masons —

On my recent visitation to West Wallsend, I found the supper
spread in the lodge room, and only consented to sit down when
assured by the brethren that the room had not been dedicated.
I found upon inquiry, however, that the lodge room had been
dedicated five or six years ago, and have written the brethren of
the lodge that other arrangements must now be made. I learned
with surprise that other lodges follow the same practice in their
dedicated rooms. The ceremony of dedication must not be regarded
as a mere farce, but as a setting apart of a room for the solemn
purposes of Freemasonry. It renders the lodge room for ever
holy, and brethren should regard such a room as what it really is,
a place of divine worship, for once they lose respect for their
sacred surroundings, our Freemasonry will assuredly suffer. To
every thoughtful Mason the idea of a festive board within the
hallowed walls of a regularly dedicated lodge room is most re-
pugnant, and I trust no lodge in this jurisdiction will ever again
offend in this direction.

From the report of the Board of General Purposes it is learned that
the lodges of the state are subject to the federal income tax. The last
quarterly meeting was held June 12, 1918, The grand master in his
address reports 116 dispensations, 10 of which were for the initiation of a
Lewis. Under the head of Co-Masonry he says that it came to his notice
that some of the brethren had been attending clandestine lodges and that
he found it necessary to interdict such visitations. A war fund which
had been created was drawn upon for the sum of $9,500 for the relief
of 24 cases.

He calls the laws of Masonry of two kinds: local and universal. The
local laws he describes as those which each grand lodge sets up for its
own government. The vmiversal laws he calls those ancient landmarks
which cannot be altered or changed. For this reason he expressed the
belief that the law on physical qualifications is irrevocable. Believing
Freemasonry to be a progressive science he urges all Masons of the juris-
diction to support the local Masonic paper. The Board of General Pur-
poses made one decision that there is no difference between an honorary
member and a life member. That each must be elected by a unanimous
ballot.

The report on correspondence is prepared by a committee, K. H. wrote
that of Illinois. The principal transactions of. our grand lodge are chron-
icled in a brief manner and without comment.

NEW YORK, F. & A. M.

1919

The one hundred and thirty-eighth annual meeting was held in the
Masonic Temple, New York City, on the afternoon of May 6, 1919. The
Grand Lodge of New York, like that of Illinois, is a very large bodj-,
and must necessarily meet in the largest city of the state where hotel
facilities are ample.

The opening ceremonies were brief, and the first business of interest
was the address of the grand master, William S. Farmer. It is a docu-
ment of more than passing interest, and shows that official to have
been thoroughly alert and attentive to his duties. His opening remarks
are in reference to the signing of the armistice and the possibility of
a League of Nations.. He devotes considerable space to the dead of
his own jurisdiction, his tribute to Theodore Eoosevelt being excei^tion-
ally fine. He also mentions the death of Henry Guttman, representa-
tive of the Grand Lodge of Illinois near the Grand Lodge of New York,
whose demise occurred May 5, 1918.

He reports dispensations for the constituting of three U. D. lodges
and six dispensations for the formation of new lodges. One corner-
stone was laid, and two Masonic halls dedicated. E. W. S. Charles
Greene, was appointed grand representative of the Grand Lodge of
Illinois near the Grand Lodge of New York, vice Henry Guttman,
deceased. The grand master refers to the Sinking Fund of the grand
lodge and states that out of 867 lodges, all but 162 have paid the assess-
ment of $1.40 per capita, which was voluntarily assumed when the
temple was completed. The financial statement shows that within five
years the grand lodge has accumulated the magnificent sum of $1,300,000
by voluntary contributions. He urges the lodges to get behind the
$1,000,000 war and relief fund and to raise the money at the earliest
possible moment. But while the grand master discussed the business
affairs of the grand lodge, he offered the lodges of his state, some most
excellent advice —

There are other things I would have you do, — admonish the
brethren to be very particular, especially in these times, in the
selection of men for membership. We must have good ma-
terial,— men of courage, men of thought, men of conviction.

We do not want and must not elect to membership the un-
worthy, cowards, grafters, trimmers, weaklings, men lacking
back-bone, floaters with the popular tide no matter whither that
may trend. Direct j^our lodge members in passing upon applica-
tions to do their full duty, manfully, bravely, without fear,
without favor. Direct them to scrutinize closely the character

Masonic Correspondence 113

of tKose who seek to join. Direct them to make exception of
no man, howsoever great, howsoever wealthy, howsoever in-
fluential.

Direct them to see to it that no person be admitted to the
rites of Freemasonry who does not measure up to the full stan-
dard of a man, bearing in mind this axiom, that the end of
man's human destiny is not to be counted as the best French-
man, the best Englishman, or the best American in any other
sense than that he is the best man that his physical, mental and
moral faculties can make of him.

Direct them to use caution, investigation, deliberation, in
the privileges accorded them, and to deny no man entrance into
the order Masonic, be he ever so lowly and humble, so long as
his character is above reproach.

Admonish them further, that after they elect a man they
teach him Freemasonry, not in the sense of mumbling over the
ritual in a half-hearted, unintelligible sort of a way, but in its
broadest and most significant terms. Teach him that to be ac-
cepted as a Freemason is to be counted as a man possessing
noble aspirations and high ideals.

Teach him to cultivate friendship, morality, brotherly love,
service, truth. These qualities should be brought out in the
beginning. The best way to teach them is ever to practice them
yourself.

It would be a mighty good thing, if the above could be copied
and sent to every lodge officer in the United States. Grand Master
Farmer reports the issuing of dispensations for the formation of Sea
and Field Lodges, Nos. 2, 3, and 4, for work and instruction over seas,
and advises the grand lodge that the report of their activities will be
made in time.

The Masonic Home at Utica and its management received the com-
mendation of the grand master, and he urges Masons to remember the
home in their wills. This is something that ought to be brought to
the attention of every Master Mason. There are many members of
the craft who are without heirs, and who would no doubt be glad to
will a part of their estate to the Masonic Home if the matter was
properly called to their attention.

Grand master reports the indebtedness on the Masonic Temple as
amounting to the sum of $2,400,000. lie suggests as a means of rais-
ing this money, a voluntary per capita assessment of $7.00 payable in
five years. The grand master states that he granted a limited number
of dispensations to confer the degrees upon more than five candidates
at one time, but that since the close of the war, all requests for such
privileges have been refused. The Cedar Eapids conference is very
thoroughly discussed by Brother Farmer, and the plan of a Masonic

114 Appendix — Part I

Service Association for the United States is fully outlined. He rec-
ommends it to the favorable consideration of his own grand lodge.
His report on War Eelief administration is interesting and shows what
Masonry can do when it is properly offered.

What Grand Master Farmer said perfatory to his edict of abolishing
all German speaking lodges is reproduced herewith because it is so genu-
inely American in spirit —

For the sake of the Eepublic, we should .plead for American
unity. Unity cannot obtain or be preserved with foreign col-
onies fenced in and neighborhoods closed to callers and with
preaching and teaching in foreign languages.

Brethren, I would break up all cliques in our Government.
It is a big undertaking to govern this people. Even now the
forces of dissension and anarchy are beating upon our shores
and it will take the steadfast patriotism of all our people to
drive them back and to assure the life and perpetuity of this
nation.

Here and at this time, we should all possess the American
spirit. Indulge in American music; American art; American
literature; American customs; American ideals; American edu-
cation and above all, we ought not to flatter everything which
is brought here from other countries, and whether that be
humans or merchandise does not matter. America cannot at-
tain its highest standing among nations, half foreign and half
American.

All newspapers printed in this country should be in Eng-
lish. All public speeches on national questions should be in
English. All telephonic and telegraphic communications in this
country should be in English.

Yes, every man should be required to transact his business
at the bank, the counting-house, at the grocer, the tailor and
at all public places in the English language, not by reason of
spite or to annoy or harass but to adopt simply a w^ise precaution.

An alien language gives the alien viewpoint and if this coun-
try is to endure, we must have nothing but the American
viewpoint.

If we all set to and earnestly and faithfully follow these
things, ere long we shall be cemented into one complete and
undivided people possessing one country, one flag, one language,
one contentment, one God.

The grand secretary, Eobert J. Kenworthy, presents a very brief
report. He gives the number of the lodges of the jurisdiction as
872. The number raised during the year 15,287, the net increase is
8,095. The grand treasurer gives total receipts of $281,026.96 and
expenditures of $278,872.23.

The trustees of the Masonic Hall and Asylum Fund present a very
long report concerning departments under their supervision.

Masonic Correspondence 115

The grand librarian in his report states that the attendance at
the library in the year has been the largest in the history of the
grand lodge. This would indicate an increasing interest in Masonic
literature on the part of members of the craft.

The report of Sea and Field Lodge No. 1 is interesting as it shows
the number raised to the sublime degree to be 734, while the total re-
ceipts from all sources were $14,802.73. The grand historian presents
a most interesting report concerning the history of Freemasonry in the
state of New York. It covers 30 pages, and should prove highly in-
teresting to the fraternity in the Empire state.

The Committee on Foreign Correspondence presented a report fully
endorsing the proposed Masonic Service Association, and the grand lodge
by adopting the report placed itself on record as favoring the propo-
sition,

A resolution was unanimously adopted directing the War and Be-
lief administration to build at Utica, a hospital, in accordance with A
plan suggested by the grand master in his address.

In a lengthy report from the Committee on Constitutions, an
amendment was adopted providing that every candidate for the degrees
shall pay in addition to the prescribed lodge fee, the sum of $13.50,
$3.00 whereof shall go to the Hall and Asylum Fund for general pur-
poses, and $10.00 to the trustees to be held in perpetual trust, the in-
come to be used for the benefit of the Home and Hospital. According
to the report of the Finance Committee, the grand secretary receives a
salary of $6,000 and is allowed $5,800 for necessary clerk hire.

A resolution was introduced by William Shearer providing —

That upon the official documents issued by the grand lodge
of this state, particularly to foreign jurisdictions, all correspon-
dence to foreign jurisdictions and all the literature stand in
the name of or have the words "In God We Trust."

This is all right, and the writer is for it. Of course, there will
by those who will cry that such procedure is not orthodox, and is
a violation of the landmarks. The action of the Grand Lodge of New
York demonstrates clearly just exactly how Masonry has grown and
developed in the past two hundred years. Now that In God We Trust
has become a part of the official nomenclature of the Grand Lodge of
New York, it goes without saying that a time will come when this
expression will be regarded as fundamental and one of the distinguish-
ing landmarks of Freemasonry.

The election and installation of officers closed this very interest-
ing session.

Appended to the proceedings is a complete report of the efforts
made by the Masonic Overseas Mission to secure permission from the
Government to engage an Independent War Belief Work abroad. It is
one of the most interesting Masonic documents that has recently been
published, but lack of space forbids any reference at this time.

The report on foreign correspondence is prepared by a committee
of which William Shearer is chairman. Illinois is given one and one-
quarter pages of brief review in which nothing of a critical character
appears.

NEW ZEALAND, A. F. & A. M.

1918

This grand lodge has 203 constituents with an aggregate member-
sliij) of 15,000. The 29th annual communication was held in the town hall
at Wellington on May 8, 1918. There were in attendance besides grand
officers and representatives a large number of past masters. The open-
ing ceremonies were brief, after which the grand master read his annual
address. He has much to say concerning the war, the raising of war funds
and the establishment of what he calls Masonic hutments at the front.
Quite a number of amendments to the established laws of the jurisdiction
were considered at this meeting showing that the grand lodge is disposed,
to fix up its rules and regulation in the most approved style and fashion.
The proceedings are largely made up of tables covering the various funds
which the grand lodge maintains and for which they are to be highly com-
mended. Report is made of the appointment of James A. Steele of
Illinois as representative of the Grand Lodge of New Zealand near the
Grand Lodge of Illinois. Five new lodges were awarded charters and
an effort made to conserve the finances of the grand lodge by a reduction
of the printing cost of the proceedings.

The grand lodge paid the war bonus of 10% on the salary of the
grand secretary and his assistants. An effort to locate permanently the
office of the grand lodge in the city of Wellington was after lengthy
discussion defeated. A long report was made on the question of French
Masonry and an effort made to get the grand lodge to formally recognize
the Masons of France. After much discussion and parliamentary man-
euvering the question was finally referred to the Board of General Pur-

Masonic Correspondence 117

poses to be reported on next year. There is no report on correspondence
made a jiart of the proceedings.

Proceedings not received.

NORTH DAKOTA, A. F. & A. M.

1918

The twenty-ninth annual meeting was held in the Masonic Temple at
Fargo on Tuesday, June 18. The session covered two days. The first
item of interest was the introduction of the national colors by veterans of
the Civil War who wore their blue uniforms. They halted at the altar
while the national anthem was sung. The grand master, William J.
Eeynolds, presented an address which required him fifty minutes to read.
He opens with references to the troublesome times which are confronting
the country, and offers a pledge of loyalty on the part of the Masonic
Fraternity. He issued.many dispensations, two of them were for the initia-
tion of young men under the age of twenty-one. Three new lodges were
formed during the year, also one military lodge, known as No. 2. He
reports no decisions for the reason that no questions arose which seemed
to merit the nec:ssity of making a special interpretation of the Jaw. He
laid the corner-stone of a court house, and dedicated two Masonic temples.

The various Masonic conferences held during the year received favor-
able mention. The grand master expresses his gratitude to other juris-
dictions for the very kindly manner in which they came to the relief of
the lodges of North Dakota during the strenuous war times. He reports
that special war certificates were issued to all members of North Dakota
lodges engaged in war service.

He takes a fall out of the Groto in the following—

During the year we have had some correspondence relative to
this institution, the full designation of which is The Mystic Order

118 Appendix — Part I

of Veiled Prophets of the Enchanted Realm. We have also re-
ceived a visit from Mr. Edwin S. Schmid, grand monarch. There
has been some talk of organizing in this jurisdiction.

While the order makes no claim to being Masonic, no one but
Master Masons can become members. Our investigation has not
been very thorough, but we are firmly convinced that there is al-
ready enough distraction in Masonry now, that no good could come
to Ancient Craft Masonry here and there is possibility of infinite
harm. We recommend that steps be taken to restrict the intro-
duction of this or similar organizations in this jurisdiction.

This is not the first case on record wherein grand masters have found
it necessary to place restrictions upon this pocket edition of the Mystic
Shrine. The pernicious activity of officers of this organization in camping
around Masonic lodges, and soliciting petitions for their society has
worked untold harm to the fraternity and it is not surprising that many
grand masters have been disposed to start after the Groto with a club.

The number of visits to lodges made by the grand master is quite
limited. His business engagements prevented him from going as much
as he would have liked. He endorsed the George Washington Memorial
Association and recommends that a substantial donation receive the atten-
tion of the grand Jodge.

He also recommends that the salary of the grand secretary be prop-
erly increased.

The grand treasurer reports receipts of approximately $13,000 and
disbursements of $11,895. The grand secretary in his report shows a
net gain in membership of 565, and the total enrollment of the lodges,
11,233.

The grand secretary makes a number of recommendations which have
come to him as the result of his experience.

The report of the librarian is most interesting. It shows that 224
Masons borrowed from the library 954 books. Of the books loaned, 387
were on history and travel, 143 on sociology, and 107 on Masonic his-
tory and symbolism.

The grand lodge disbursed for relief of dependents, the sum of $650
from which it is apparent that the Masons of North Dakota are in a pros-
perous condition of affairs.

The grand lodge stopped long enough during its busy session to wit-
ness the conferring of the third degree which was done by the grand
master, assisted by a degree team from Fargo. On the Tuesday evening,
a public patriotic rally was held at which Mr. Hewison Pollock, the winner
of the Thompson Memorial prize for the year 1918 gave his oration, the
World Citizen.

Masonic Correspondence 119

The Jurisprudence Committee is a big one, containing eleven members.
One thing the committee did was to order all lodges that had been re-
mitting fees to immediately collect the amounts due and which had been
remitted. At this point in the proceedings, a delegate from the Grand
Chapter of the Eastern Star appeared, the grand lodge was called to ease,
the visitors introduced, and quite a long speech of greeting delivered.

The question of recognizing the Grand Lodge of Prance was referred
to a special committee to report later on.

A telegram containing a pledge of loyalty was sent to President Wilson
during the closing hours of the grand lodge.

The report on foreign correspondence is prepared by Grant H. Hager.
He gives Illinois five and a half pages of very courteous review. Liberal
extracts are taken from the report of Grand Master Ealph H. Wheeler.
He admires his backbone in stopping vicious practices among the lodges
and in general considers our proceedings illuminating.

NOVA SCOTIA, A. F. & A. M.

1918

The Masons of Nova Scotia assembled in 53d annual communication
in the city of Halifax, June 12, 1918. The grand secretary, not being
able to be present the grand lodge on motion directed the grand master
to appoint a committee of three to consider the position of the present
grand secretary in relation to the grand lodge and to report prior to the
election of officers. The grand lodge then suspended business, formed in
procession under the direction of the grand marshal and marched to St.
Paul's Church where a sermon was preached by T. C. Teller from the text
"Our Father Which Art in Heaven."

The sermon was all right but the many references to Jesus Christ will
hardly find favor with many of those Masons who hold to the opinion
that such references are largely sectarian and for the most part should
be avoided in all Masonic addresses. The grand master, Donald F. Fraser,
read an address to his grand lodge of more than passing interest.

He says considerable about the sacrifices of the Canadian soldiers in
the war. Special mention is made of the Halifax disaster, which he
characterized as one of the most horrible that ever befell any community

120 Appendix — Part I

on the American continent. In this hour of affliction, the Masons of Nova
Scotia were not found wanting. The state of the craft is characterized by
the grand master as flattering. The Masonic home comes in for much
praise and commendation. Detailed reference is made to the lodges visited
by the grand master which will no doubt prove pleasing to those who re-
ceived mention at his hands. The grand master calls attention to the
finances of the grand lodge. It appears that the fund collected from
the constituent lodges for the maintenance of the Masonic home is not
sufficient. And that it is necessary for the grand lodge to appropriate
from the general fund sufficient monies to carry on this good work.

He recommends that each particular candidate for the degrees be re-
quired to pay the sura of $10, the same to be used for the support of the
homes. An impostor who sought to prey upon the craft was summarily
dealt with, when he was scut to the penitentiary for two years.

The grand master invited an avalanche of brickbats when he referred in
his address to the fact that James C. Jones, assistant grand secretary, had
received the 33d degree at the hands of his Scottish Eite brethren. It will
now be in order for the standpatters to commence to heave. All rulings,
official acts, dispensations issued are very properly enumerated in an ap-
pendix made to the report. One decision is worthy of notice. That a
young man who has served a term in the penitentiary is not eligible to
the degrees of Masonry. The grand secretary gives the total membership
as 7,124. A net increase of 197 for the year. The grand treasurer gives
his receipts at approximately $10,000 and expenditures of almost the
same amount. A special committee on the Halifax disaster reported that
17 Masons were killed as were 48 members of Masons families. Assistance
was rendered in 145 individual cases, the amount expended being $11,973.42.
The grand lecturer in his report recommends that a ritual be published by
the grand lodge which shall be available to the officers of constituent
lodges to supplement the work of the grand lecturer.

The reports of the district deputy grand master which appear in the
proceedings show that those officers have been diligent in the discharge
of their duties. The reports which they make reveal a very good idea of
the condition of the lodges throughout the jurisdiction. The grand lodge
officially expelled one member who was serving a term in the penitentiary
for bigamy. The committee appointed to inquire into the condition of the
grand secretary reported a recommendation that that officer being in a
poor state of health be given a retiring allowance of $75 per month.

The Jurisprudence Committee brought in a report backing up the
grand master in his various decisions. It appears that certain changes
in the ritual were suggested by the grand lecturer. The committee on
his report urged the grand lodge to be very careful in considering changes

Maso7iic Correspondence 121

or alterations and urged that the Mouth to Ear Doctrine bo followed as
closely as possible.

The report on foreign correspondence is by James C. Jones, grand sec-
retary. Illinois is well considered, liberal extracts being taken from the
reports of Ralph II. Wheeler. Concerning club rooms he observes, "fancy
having clubrooms Avhere billiard and pool tables are prohibited." Brother
Jones evidently has a good idea of what constitutes a club for without
the cues and the ivory balls it would hardly measure up to the accepted
idea of the modern loafing place.

OHIO, F. & A. M.

1918

The one hundred and ninth annual grand communication should have
been held in the city of Columbus, on the 18th of October, but owing
to the prevalence of influenza, all public meetings were prohibited.
As a result, the meeting was postponed until Wednesday, Novendjer 26.

The oflicers and members of the grand lodge assembled at the
Dcshler Hotel in Columbus at 9:30 A. M. and under escort of Mt. Vernon
Commandery No. I, were conducted to the Masonic Temple where the
sessions were held.

Preceding the opening, there was a program of music and addresses.
After the public ceremonies, the grand lodge was opened and imme-
diately proceeded with the business of the session. The Grand Lodge of
Ohio boasts of an unbroken line of twenty-six past grand masters, and
their group picture appears in the opening pages of the proceedings.

The grand master, Henry M. Hagelbarger, presented a report which
is not only interesting to read but shows him to have handled the
affairs of his office with discretion and care. His opening paragraphs
pertain almost wholly to the war. He enumerates the dead of his own
and other grand jurisdictions. He appointed twenty-five district lec-
turers, and advises the grand lodge that those officers performed their
duties in a highly efficient manner. Ho issued 131 dispensations, and
these are printed in full in the appendix. He states that he refused
many dispensations showing that he believed that as far as possible,
the rules and regulations of the fraternity should be adhered to. Three
dispensations for the formation of new lodges were granted. Six lodges

122 Appeiidix — Part I

were constituted, eight Masonic temples dedicated, and five corner-
stones laid. Of the corner-stones laid, two were for Masonic temples,
two were for school buildings, and one a Methodist church.

The grand master states' that other grand jurisdictions were very
generous in conferring the'''aegrees by courtesy on candidates belong-
ing to Ohio lodges. The three lodges at Montgomery, Ala., alone con-
ferred over 400 degrees for Ohio lodges.

Brother Hagelbarger advises the grand lodge that a number of
requests reached him to have the degrees conferred by lodges in France,
but inasmuch as the Grand Lodge of Ohio was not in fraternal com-
munication with the Grand Lodge of France, there was nothing he could
do in the premises. At the time of the Halifax disaster, the grand mas-
ter reports sending $500 for the relief of Masonic sufferers. The sum
of $3,000 was donated to the Commission for Eolief in Belgium.

Grand master reports the collection of $26,714 which was donated
by the lodges of the state for the purpose of building a Masonic House
at Camp Sherman, Ohio. He reports that the results attained fully
compensated the brethren for whatever sacrifice they may have made.
The grand master found time during his busy administration to make
twenty-six oflficial visits to the lodges of his jurisdiction. The Wash-
ington conference as well as the New York conference received favor-
able commendation. He states that the two German speaking lodges
working in the state of Ohio voluntarily changed to English speaking.
He remarks in conclusion —

The feeling has gi'own up in my heart that the war has in-
creased the attachment of men for Masonry, that they have
been willing to live more for others and less for themselves, that
men have been thinking more about the essentials of life than at
other times, that they have found a real joy in performing a real
service for some one who had a real need, that this helpful ser-
vice has opened up avenues of friendships never before dreamed
of. To the Mason thus engaged even in the midst of the hard-
ships of war, this period has been the greatest time in his life.

Masonry is founded upon eternal principles that answer
every demand made in either times of peace or times of war,
and while we remember the landmarks of Masonry, we shall
not forget the landmarks of Liberty.

The grand treasurer reports receipts of $102,273 and expenditures
of $85,016, leaving a balance in the General Fund of almost $100,000.

The report of the grand secretary gives the net increase in mem-
bership for the year of 3,849, and the Master Masons in good standing,
122,343.

An amendment was submitted fixing the per capita tax at $1.25,
of which amount twenty-five cents is to be retained by the grand lodge,

Masonic Correspondence 123

and one dollar turned over to the trustees of the Masonic Home. Of
this one dollar, fifty cents is to be placed in the building and equip-
ment fund, and fifty cents used for maintenance. After a prolonged
discussion which the grand secretary records in full in the proceedings,
together with an attempt to amend the amendment, it was carried. Ohio
has simply done what every other grand lodge must do which main-
tains a home. It must have revenue to sustain these institutions, and
as the grand lodge grows, and its dependents increase, there very
naturally arises the demand for more revenue.

The election and installation of officers closed the session.

The grand secretary, J. H. Bromwell, is to be commended for the
very tasty manner in which he has arranged the appendix to the pro-
ceedings proper.

The report on foreign correspondence is prepared by Nelson Williams,
past grand master. He gives 155 pages to the consideration of the
various grand jurisdictions in the United States. Any one can gain a
most excellent idea of the condition of Masonry by a perusal of his
report. Hlinois received generous notice. The principal acts trans-
acted at our annual meeting of 1917 are carefully reviewed. All that
Grand Master Wheeler said upon the subject of military lodges is
quoted in full, because it expresses the ideas held by Brother Williams.
He likes the legislation enacted by Illinois . prohibiting Masons from
appearing in saloons in Masonic clothing, and thinks the amendment
prohibiting smoking in lodges is excellent.

While the amendments in question are undoubtedly for the best in-
terests of Masonry, it seems strange, however, that a great jurisdiction
like Illinois should have been compelled to resort to legislation to accom-
plish that which it failed to secure through its teachings.

1919

The eleventh annual communication was held in Oklahoma City, April
29 and 30, and May 1 and 2, 1919. After an address of welcome and a
response, the grand lodge was opened, and distinguished visitors received.

The first thing was the presentation of the rules and order of busi-
ness in which a specified time was set for the discussion and jjresentation

124 Appendix — Part I

of various matters which were scheduled to come before the grand lodge.
This is a most excellent plan. Too many grand lodges go at their businss
in a careless, slipshod manner with result that every fellow having some-
thing to offer watches his chance and pops it through at the first avail-
able opportunity. The result is a lack of continuity and sequence, and
when the grand lodge meeting is over it is found out that somebody
forgot something.

The grand master, Joseph W. Morris, presented a long report and
submitted the various affairs which had come under his notice during the
year. After paying suitable tribute to the dead of his own and other juris-
dictions, he reports the laying of corner-stones of a Baptist church, four
Masonic temples, a Y. M. C. A. building, and a dam. This is the first
dam corner-stone that has come under the observation of the writer. The
grand master also laid the corner stone of a court house. He was gen-
erous in the matter of issuing dispensations but refused to permit the
initiation of anyone under the age of twenty-one. He states that the lodges
of Oklahoma conferred 2,928 degrees by courtesy for other jurisdictions,
and were the recipients of like courtesies to the extent of 897 degrees.

Of the lodges of the state, 112 bond their secretary and treasurer,
and 89 carry insurance on lodge property.

Three new lodges were organized during the year, and six lodges
under dispensation, were duly constituted. Among the recommendations
made by the grand master was one relating to the bonding of lodge offi-
cers, in which he suggests that it is not right to ask members of the
lodge to sign personal bonds, and that it would be better if these officers
were bonded in a surety company. Two acts of lodge consolidation were
accomplished, the charter of one lodge arrested, while one lodge voluntarily
surrendered its warrant.

The grand master makes no decisions, but renders what he calls in-
terpretations of law. He decided that a brother suspended for non-payment
of dues was not entitled to a Masonic burial.

The New York conference of grand masters, as well as the Cedar
Eapids conference are reported in full, and the grand master reports a
recommendation favoring the Iowa plan of National Masonic Service.

The grand master took up the question of a Cipher Key, and wrote
various grand jurisdictions to ascertain what their practice was. The
answers that he received are presented in tabulated form — •

North Carolina — We have no such thing and know nothing
about it.

Massachusetts — Possession of one here is sufficient grounds
for expudsion.

Masonic Correspondence 125

California — No, the obligation prohibits it.

Arkansas — No, we are drastically against it.

Wyoming — Yes, wo have it. Don't like it very well.

Nevada — No, No, No.

Louisiana- — Forbidden in this jurisdiction.

Alabama — -No key of any kind is used.

New Jersey — We have none.

New York — Its use is prohibited.

Missouri — No.

Pennsylvania — Not in Pennsylvania.

Nebraska— An offense to use it.

Virginia — Our work taught orally. Opposed to key.

Delaware— We swore we wouldn't and we won't.

Maryland — Have no key in any shape or form.

New Mexico — Illegal in this state.

Minnesota — We have it here. The brethren in general know
nothing about it, and I doubt if one in a hundred could make
anything out of it.

Iowa — ^We have none.

Utah — Very much opposed to its use.

Illinois — If you decide to adopt it well and good, but we
have always frowned on such action.

Wisconsin — I know my advice as grand secretary of Wiscon-
sin does not amount to a great deal, but I would suggest to the
brethren of Oklahoma to think a great many times before they
permit an official key to the work.

Florida — Don't have it. Always voted down.

Colorado — ^Yes, we use them, but they are a ghastly thing.

Tennessee — Old fashioned enough down here to stick to the
old way.

Kentucky — Grand lodge has never authorized its use and I
hope it never will.

The result was that the grand master made a report advising against
the adoption of a cipher ritual.

The grand treasurer gives his receipts as $122,000 and his expendi-
tures $120,000. The grand lodge stopped long enough in its proceedings
to listen to an address delivered by W. Marx Sexson on the Service Flag
and Old Glory.

The grand secretary, in his report, shows the net gain in membership
for the year 1918 to have been 3,865, a most excellent showing. The
membership of the lodges on January 1, 1919, was 36,200.

A resolution was introduced fixing the mileage and per diem at $3.00
and 61/^ c per mile one way.

The report made by the Board of Control of the Masonic Home is a
long one, but it shows that the Masons of Oklahoma have their charities
well organized and in a most excellent financial condition.

126 Appendix — Part I

The Committee on Law and Usage make a report wherein they ap-
prove part of the things which the grand master did and disapprove of
other things. They recommended that no recognition be given to the
Iowa plan of National Masonic Service at this time, and that the subject
be held over for one year. They also recommended that nothing be done
toward the recognition of the Grand Lodge of France. However, when
the grand lodge got hold of the report, they amended it to the extent
of voting to take membership in the Masonic Service Association of the
United States. This clearly demonstrates one thing. The committee to
whom this subject was referred, undoubtedly belong to the old school of
Freemasons, while the grand lodge itself was more or less progressive,
and didn't propose to stand for committee rule.

The Finance Committee made a report fixing the salary of the grand
secretary at $2,700 and allowing him an assistant at $1,200.

The election and installation of officers closed the session.

The report on foreign correspondence is written by Thomas Chauncey
Humphrey. He gives Illinois a page and a half of kindly mention quoting
liberally from the address of Grand Master Austin H. Scrogin, as well
as from the correspondence report of last year.

OREGON, A. F. & A. M.

1918

Tlie sixty-eighth annual meeting was held in Portland on Wednesday
morning, June 12, 1918. The roll was called and a constitutional quorum
being present the grand lodge was opened in ample form.

The first thing done was to receive representatives of other grand
lodges and accord them the grand honors of Masonry.

The grand master, Weston G. Shelenbarger, presented his annual re-
port. He refers, first, to the dead of his own and other grand jurisdictions;
reports the constituting of two lodges and the instituting of three.

The grand representative of the Grand Lodge of Illinois, near the
Grand Lodge of Oregon, William T. Wright, having died, William J. Kerr,
was appointed to succeed him.

Masonic Correspondence 127

Concerning the conferring of degrees by courtesy, the grand master
suggests that the work done near military camps became more of labor
than of courtesy. He states that he has always been opposed to issuing
dispensations to confer degrees in less than the lawful time, but waived
his own prejudices in the case of soldiers going overseas.

He reports eleven cases under the caption of decisions, all of them
are merely constructions of Oregon laws. Concerning military lodges the
grand master expressed himself as being favorable toward them, for the
reason that every opportunity for fraternal association should be given
our soldiers boys.

Nineteen lodges failed to make their annual reports to the grand
secretary. The grand master got after them and was obliged to listen
to a lot of flimsy excuses and apologies. The grand master reported that
he made a sixty mile trip into the country to personally investigate one
delinquent lodge and while there took disciplinary action.

Much of the trouble with delinquent lodges is largely due to lax methods
on the part of grand officers. The threat to arrest the charter of a lodge
which fails to comply with the requirements is very seldom carried out.
Lodge officers know this, and the few charters arrested leads them to be-
lieve that their shortcomings will be forgotten and their sins forgiven. A
generous lifting of charters in chronic eases of delinquency would go a
long ways toward weeding out organizations which are not a credit and
would impress officers with the idea that grand lodge means business.

A man who had been previously rejected in one of the lodges of the
state turned around and petitioned another lodge without making the fact
of his rejection known, he was elected and received the degrees. The
grand master upon being informed of the fact ordered charges preferred
against him which was done and judgment rendered. No doubt the man's
curiosity was satisfied even if it did cost him a little trouble and money.

The grand master had quite a little to say concerning the Grand
Lodge of Franr^e but it was more sentimental than Masonic or historical.
He recommended, however, that recognition be given to French Masons.
The supply of rituals being exhausted, the grand master recommended
that a new supply be printed, and calls attention to an alleged improper
use of the rituals. He says, it is not to be used as a text book to slip
into a half concealed place from which to read the work as he has seen
done several times.

Well gee whiz! what's the book for if it isn't to make it easy for
the lodge officer to get by. Maybe the work might be more easily
recognized as Masonic when read from the book than when rendered orally
from memory.

128 Appendix — Part I

Lodge officers in these days arc becoming very crafty. Many of them
carry flash lights in their pockets so that if the room happens to be
dark or the lights go out they can still use their eyes and their books,
and make a bluff, at getting by with their work.

The grand master makes two observations in his conclusion which
are so apropos and timely that they are reproduced in full —

There is a desire on the part of a large number of our
brotherhood to learn more of the philosophy of our teachings.
This desire has led many to be duped by mercenary rogues and
fakers going about under the guise of Masonic lecturers. When
they have finished the discovery is made that the "cards" were
stacked or they are up against a ' ' shell ' ' game. Unknown and
itinerant lecturers should present their credentials and have the
approval of the grand master before being permitted to appear
under the auspices of Masonry.

Masonic lodge rooms have been used for the purpose of call-
ing together and organizing bodies for implied patriotic purposes,
but whose aspect is largely political. I believe in stimulating
and encouraging patriotism in every legitimate way, but let us
be sure that it is patriotism ; it takes more than a patriotic handle
to make it so.

The grand treasurer reports total receipts of $24,000.00 and disburse-
ments of $18,787.00, apparently the grand lodge is being operated at a
very neat profit. The grand secretary reports that one hundred and forty-
four lodges raised 925 during the year. The net gain in membership is
given at 648. Of the fifteen thousand Masons of the state 263 are per-
manently exempted from the payment of dues and over 500 were relieved
from the burden during the year 1917.

The report of tho Committee on Necrology is brief. However, a
special memorial service was held in honor of three grand masters who
had died during the year. A very good oration on the Temple of Masonry
was delivered by the grand orator, William W. Youngson. He didn't
bother himself about the origin of the society but sought to draw lessons
from its teachings that would be heliiful in the building of character.

The fraternity of Oregon in cooperation with the Eastern Star are
preparing to construct a new Masonic home and judging from the report
of a special committee having that matter in hand substantial progress
is being made.

An amendment to the by-laws of the grand lodge was adopted fixing
the fee for affiliation at $5.00, the amount to be paid to the grand secre-
tary to go into the Masonic home fund. The minimum fees for the de-
grees was placed at $35.00.

The first thing the grand master did on Friday the last day of the
meeting was to announce that delegates not present at the final roll call

Masonic Correspondence 129

would not be entitled to mileage. The grand secretary then proceeded to
call the roll and the absentees had their names expunged from the payroll.
This was pretty hard on the boys who were sleeping late that morning
or who had hiked out for home thinking the pay check would follow.

As a result of the grand master's recommendation concerning the
issuance of a new edition of rituals the Committee on Jurisprudence brought
in a report advising a more judicious use of these text books, and rec-
ommended that all rituals be called in leaving but just two in each lodge
to be in the possession of the master and senior warden.

TTie Committee on Eecognition of the Grand Lodge of France made a
favorable report recommending the establishment of full fraternal rela-
tions and the report was adopted. The grand lodge did one good thing —
it adopted a form of request for conferring degrees by courtesy. It is
apparent from the report of the Committee on Mileage that representa-
tives are allowed their actual expenses for a recommendation is made
that hereafter representatives take receipts for all money expended and
for which reimbursement is claimed. It is noted from the report that those
who draw mileage from the grand chapter meeting held at the same time
as the grand lodge are not paid by the grand lodge.

It might be very pertinently asked what the grand lodge knows about
the grand chapter. The grand lodge got into quite a muss over an appro-
priation of $5,000 to be used for the purchase of four trucks to be loaned
the government during the period of the war. After considerable discus-
sion the amount of $2500.00 was finally allowed for this purpose.

The election and installation of officers closed the session and the
retiring grand master was given the customary apron as a reward for
his devotion to the craft. The report on foreign correspondence is pre-
pared by David P. Mason, Illinois receives four pages of courteous
treatment.

The principal acts of Grand Master Ealph H. Wheeler are recited
without criticism. He calls the action of the grand lodge concerning
clubs impracticable. A liberal quotation is made from the oration of
Oscar A. Kropf and the oration pronounced excellent.

PENNSYLVANIA, A. F. & A. M.

1918

It is always a pleasure to look over the proc«ediugs of the Grand
Lodge of Pennsylvania. This jurisdiction is not only one of the oldest
on the American continent but it is likeAvise one of the most conserva-
tive. Its charities are unbounded. In its work it still adheres very closely
to the old ritual of the original Freemasonry of England. It may be said
to the credit of Pennsylvania that it has not gone wild over ritualistic
perfection, but has contented itself with making degrees a means to an
end and has devoted the major part of its efforts toward the exploitation
of the real principles of Freemasonry.

In its early and formulative period Freemasonry, in Pennsylvania
must have been fathered by some very wise and able men with keen
foresight, for through wills and legacies there have been created numerous
trust funds totaling a good many millions. There is no reason why wealthy
men should not leave trusts to the Masonic fraternity. Many of them
will no doubt do so just as soon as the society quits dabbling in trifles
and commences to place itself before the Avorld as a genuine fraternal
institution.

If men are willing to leave legacies to churches, hospitals, schools
and colleges, why shouldn't they make donations to the Masonic society,
an institution founded upon the principles of fraternity among men.

The proceedings at hand contain a most excellent steel engraving
of James Krause, grand master, who is personally known to the writer,
who is only too glad to vouch for the ability and integrity of the grand
master at any time. The Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania holds quarterly
meetings following the English plan. At the quarterly meeting held March
6, 1918, a very peculiar case is reported by the Committee on Appeals. A
physician was charged with adultery and rape, the victim being a child
under the age of sixteen. The Trial Board found the accused guilty and
recommended to the lodge that he be expelled. The lodge, however,
refused to comply with the recommendation. The result was that an
appeal was taken from the action of the lodge and the grand lodge
ordered the accused expelled. It is hard sometimes to understand why
it is that lodges refuse to do their duty in such flagrant offenses as is
reported.

Two generous gifts are reported; one, the deed of ten acres of
ground to the Masonic home at Elizabethtown, the gift of William Don-
aldson, also a present of $10,000, the income to be used in planting trees
and shrubs about the home properties.

Masonic Correspondence 131

The war fund raised by this grand lodge totals $72,400. At the
second quarterly meeting held Juno 5, 1918, a request for a new lodge at
Pittsburgh was received and referred to the grand oflicers. TTie grand
master had the following to say which Avill be interesting to the Masons
of Illinois —

The Grand Lodge of New Jersey at its recent meeting, upon
motion of the representatives of the German-speaking "lodges,
abolished the use of the German language in the work of the
lodge. Following that published action, your grand master was
requested by newspapers to state what action the Grand Lodge
of Pennsylvania might take.

Wo declined to spoak puldicly, or to anticipate the action of
this grand lodge, especially as the question has never been raised in
Pennsylvania,

The Ahiman Rezon, as well as the charter rights of our
German lodges, permit the use of the German language in ritual-
istic work, and they cannot, therefore, be deprived of that right by
summary action of the grand master, were he disposed so to do.

While wo must be ever watchful for enemy intrigue, let us,
however, keep level heads and be fair, just and considerate toward
all our fellow citizens and brethren, even though the language
spoken is German, who by their daily walk and conversation give
evidence of unreserved loyalty and patriotic devotion to the flag
of their adopted country and its mission in this stupendous world
conflict.

Grand lodge for many years has considered that the welfare
of the fraternity would bo best served by requiring all our
lodges to use the English language exclusi^'ely, and in abundant
time this may bo accomplished by the voluntary act of the
brethren.

It is apparent from the above that Pennsylvania has been disposed to
temporize with the subject. This writer upholds the course pursued by
Grand Master Austin H. Scrogin of Illinois, who interdicted the use of
any but the English language, in the conferring of the ritual and gave
the nine German lodges of the state a limited time iu which to comply
with the terms of the edict or forfeit their charters. It is not a question
which involves the German language alone, it is simply a principle that
in the great United States none other, but the English language shall bo
employed.

At the quarterly meeting of September 4, George Schoonover, grand
master of Iowa was present among other distinguished guests and was
accorded the grand honors of Masonry. The quarterly meeting of De-
cember 4, appears to be the important one of the year for at this meeting
the annual business was transacted.

The first order was the election of officers and the committee on Ma-
sonic homes. TTiis came early in the proceedings proltably for good

132 Appendix — Part I

and sufficient reasons. The various funds and trust funds are given very
careful consideration and analysis. There are so many of them and they
are so complicated that no attempt will be made to go into them in de-
tail. Some idea of the volume of business transacted may be obtained from
the fact that the total receipts for the year were $772,640 and the ex-
penditures $766,227.00. Among the receipts is an item of $132,208 from
Masonic home petition fees. In Pennsylvania each petitioner for the de-
grees is required to pay $20 over and above the regidar charge for the
honors of Masonry. This amount goes into the Masonic Home Fund. It
is apparent that the Pennsylvania plan is not only yielding a handsome
revenue but is working no hardship on anyone. Among the expenditures
is an item of $4,000 for the expenses of the grand master. He draws
no salary, however. According to the report of the Committee on Masonic
Temple 4,695 visitors were conducted through the Philadelphia Masonic
Temjile last year.

The report of the Masonic Home Board gives the number of guests
in the home at 310. The maintenance of this institution is stated as
$166,372. The reader may figure out for himself the cost of maintaining
the 310 Masonic charges. This is exclusive, however, of interest on the
investment, estimated at somewhere around a million dollars. The annual
communication was held December 27, and seems to have been principally
for the installation of officers. An address of more than passing interest
is made by Grand Master James B. Krause. He gives a long list of
petitions, declared null and void. Two of the reasons assigned were that
the petitioners had been rejected in Illinois.

The grand master did not evidently believe in wholesale dispensa-
tions, for the number that he issued was limited. He made a number
of decisions most of them of local effect. He directed that notices of
lodge meeting must be mailed to members in the service upon their re-
quest. He refused to allow a lodge to have an address upon war condi-
tions delivered at a stated meeting. He suggested that it be given
during the social hour of the lodge.

He reported that the German lodges of the state were about to con-
form to the English language in their business transactions and ritual-
istic performances. The Grand Lodge War Belief Fund was announced
as having attained the sum of $135,000. The Masonic Home was com-
mended in the highest degree. He concludes his address to the grand
lodge by directing attention to Freemasonry in general, and says that with
the reconstruction of the nation will come greater opportunity for the
propagation and extension of Masonic principles. He, therefore, calls
upon all Masons to be God-fearing and true to their professions. The
installation of officers concluded the session.

Masonic Correspondence 133

The report on foreign correspondence is by Thomas N. Penman with
the assistance of a committee. The telegram sent to President Wilson
by the Grand Lodge of Illinois is quoted in full. Attention, however, ia
called to the fact that the record does not disclose any act of acknowl-
edgment of the telegram on the part of Mr. Tumulty. The principal mat-
ters discussed by Grand Master Austin H. Scrogin in his report are taken
up and enumerated in turn. Concerning Grand Master Serogin's recom-
mendation suggesting a donation to the George Washington Memorial Asso-
ciation, Brother Penman says —

Grand lodge, however, took but passing notice of it. But we
predict that our Illinois brethren will some day arrive on this
project. ' ' Large bodies move slowly. ' ' When they get the right
perspective of this Washington Memorial entei'prise and its pro-
found significance to American Masonry, they will be found some-
where near the head of the procession, where their leadership in
Masonic affairs entitles them to be.

Concerning remarks made by Senator Lewis in the grand lodge, he
observes —

It is a strong statement to make, in view of the many phil-
anthropic endeavors manifested by the people of the Allies in
the war, but assuming that it is true, it should make every Mason
proud of his association with such a fraternity and resolve to
be worthy of it.

Of the report on correspondence he says that Pennsylvania received
fraternal and extended notice. Concerning the reference made last year
tc the appointment of sixteen grand chaplains by the grand master of
Pennsylvania, the reviewer follows his comment with the question, "Do
we lack a sense of humor ? ' '

We should say, "Maybe not." Perhaps it's just a case of taking one's
self too seriously.

PHILIPPINE ISLANDS, F. & A. M.

1919

The Grand Lodge of the Philippine Islands held its seventh annual
meeting in the city of Manila, on Tuesday, January 8, 1919.

The opening ceremonies occurred at 4:00 o'clock in the afternoon.
Forty of the forty-three chartered lodges were represented by one hundred
and fifteen grand lodge members. Following the opening ceremonies, the

134 Appendix — Part I

mayor of the city delivered an address of welcome, after which the grand
representatives were presented and formally welcomed.

The grand master being absent from the Islands, the deputy grand
master delivered the annual message. He refers to the conclusion of the
great war and speaks in a feeling manner of those who gave up their lives
on the field of battle. His various Masonic acts are chronicled in f uJl.

A new funeral service prepared by the grand lodge has been placed
in the hands of the various bodies as well as a Blue Book containing the
laws, rules, and regulations of the grand lodge.

The report of the grand treasurer shows the finances of the grand lodge
to be in a most excellent condition. The grand secretary presents a report
in which he goes much into detail concerning the affairs of his office. The
net gain in membership is given as 639, and the present membership of
lodges 3,533. The grand lecturer has something to say concerning his
visitations to the lodges of the district, which leads to the conclusion that he
not only gives instruction in the work, but at the same time makes diligent
inquiry into the general condition and standing of the lodges. An oration
was delivered on the first day by Theodoro M. Kalaw upon the subject of
past and present, which in fact deals with the progress of Freemasonry
in the Philippine Islands.

The Committee on Charters advised that they had under consideration
requests from nine lodges for the necessary ofiicial documents, and the
papers were directed to be issued.

The grand lodge is creating a Masonic Home Fund which is already
commencing to grow to substantial proportions.

A long report comes from the Committee on Masonic Study and Ee-
search. The course, as marked out by this committee, is quite interesting,
and if the Masons of the Philippine Islands would pursue the line of
endeavor that has been indicated, they will no doubt become proficient
Masons.

One thing the grand lodge did was to direct the Committee on Study
and Research to prepare a series of "canned" lectures to be sent out
to lodges upon application. This has been tried in other jurisdictions
and the results obtained have stamped the plan as more of a failure than
of a success. A lecture has very little value unless it has the personality
of the man who wrote it directly concerned in its presentation.

An amendment to the constitution and by-laws providing for life
membership, failed to receive a five-sixth vote and went over until the next
year. A minimum charge for the degrees was fixed and all lodges required
to adhere to that sum.

Masonic Correspondence 135

The election and installation of officers and the appointment of com-
mittees, and district deputies, closed the session.

The Committee on Foreign Correspondence prepares a very interesting
report. However, Illinois is not reviewed, probably for the reason that our
Grand Lodge Proceedings did not reach our brethren of the Philippine
Islands.

Proceedings not received.

QUEBEC, A. F. & A. M.

1919

On Wednesday, February 12, 1919, the forty-ninth annual communi-
cation was opened in the city of Montreal. The first item of interest, in
the proceedings, is the report of the Committee on Credentials, showing the
exact number of votes in the grand lodge. This is a most excellent plan
because, in most grand lodges the vote taken by show of hands is not
always indicative of a proper expression of a Masonic majority, for the
reason, that some representatives possess one vote while others are entitled
to three, and when the vote is taken it is impossible to arrive at a correct
result. In his opening remarks, the grand master refers to the war and
mentions the entry of America into the conflict —

Wc fully appreciated the immeasurable importance of the entry
of our powerful neighbor into the conflict, and his support at a
critical period inspired our warworn legions to greater efforts
than ever, and, while the dark days of March, April and May
almost caused us to desi>air of a victory by force of arms, we
never lost confidence in the men who grimly held back the evil
forces arrayed against them, and against whom the enemy re-
peatedly shattered itself, and, when those glorious days commencing
with July passed in rapid succession before our wondering and
delighted eyes as we saw victory u})on victory accorded our arms,
we were the better able to appreciate the privilege of having a

136 Appendix — Part I

part in the struggle, and aiding those who were making the world
safe for ns and our posterity to live in, and who were adding
imperishable lustre to an already brilliant past in which we, as
loyal Canadians, have a full share, and what honor and renown
has come to this land which so speedily took up the challenge and
ranged herself alongside the motherland in defense of all that is
most precious to us as a free and untrammelled section of the British
Empire. We now know how that motherland, with the invaluable
aid of her young and vigorous nations, raised a mighty army of
eight millions to give the same freedom to the rest of the world
which she herself enjoyed, and our hearts glow with a new pride
to know we have taken a prominent part therein, and never should
we prize more highly our citizenship in the empire and the com-
mon history of the Anglo-Saxon race. \Mien a master pen writes
the full and true record of the past four years, what a lesson for
our posterity to ponder over and emulate!

The grand master approved the by-laws of a number of lodges. A
practice which not a few grand lodges recognize. There is no doubt but
that the by-laws of lodges need supervision and it is well that some-
one in authority passes upon contemplated legislation in these bodies in
order that they may be prevented from indulging in rampant methods not
consistent with the general regulations of Freemasonry.

The grand master reminds the grand lodge that the next meeting will
be the fiftieth annual and suggests the appointment of a committee to ar-
range a fitting commemoration. He states that the material progress of
the craft in Quebec has been beyond the wildest expectations. The grand
secretary's report gives the present membership at 9,244 an increase for
the year of 387. The report of the grand treasurer gives his receipts at
$6,712 and his disbursements $5,160.

Incidental to the meeting of the grand lodge the grand chajilain, Dudley
H. Farrell, made an address of a practical character devoid of generalities
and the usual far-fetched Masonic imagery. The reports of the district
deputies are complete in themselves and show those officers to be fully
cognizant of what is required of them in their official capacity. These
officials perform many acts which usually fall to the grand master. The
report of the Committee on the State of Masonry as made to the Grand
Lodge of Quebec is interesting. They do not hesitate to go into the re-
ports of the district deputy grand masters and to mention the shortcomings
of those lodges which apparently need grand lodge supervision.

This is the only way to secure real progress and to improve the condition
of our lodges. Nothing can be accomplished in dealing in generalities. It is
only when the individual lodge is marked up for criticism and its sins of
omission and commission discussed, that we can hope that the lodge will
move for improvement. The Finance Committee made the discovery that

Masonic Correspondence 137

genuine parchment had become a very expensive and rare article, and
recommended, that hereafter Masonic documents be printed on a substitute.
For a long time the idea has obtained that a Masonic document was not
valid unless printed upon genuine parchment. It has taken the war to
prove the utter folly of this idea. Parchment is by no means durable,
it is hard to write upon, and is outworn by the modern imitation parch-
ment which the paper makers have devised. The Masonic temple owned
by the grand lodge is being operated at a reasonable profit. The present
mortgage, however, stands at $47,000.

The Committee on Jurisprudence apparently passed on all Masonic
trials which are appealed to the grand lodge, for they report having re-
viewed evidence in certain cases and make suitable recommendations to
the grand lodge.

The closing feature of the grand lodge was the report of the Com-
mittee on the Address of the Grand Master. This report is merely a review
of his act with such comments thereon as the committee seemed to think
proper and wise. There is nothing said about sej^aration and reference
and it is supposed that what the grand master does is his own busi-
ness. The election and installation of officers closed the session. The
report on correspondence is prepared by E. T. D. Chambers, past grand
master. He opens the report with a discussion of live questions, among
which is that of French Masonry. His review of Illinois is kindly, and he
presents in a very concise form the principal items of Grand Master Austin
H. Serogin.

He quotes in full all that he has to say concerning French Masonry.
He calls Brother Serogin 's remarks words of wisdom, which happily com-
mended themselves to the rank and file of the grand lodge. We wish
Brother Chambers hadn't used that expression "Eank and File." The
writer has always considered it out of place in Freemasonry, because, we,
all, stand around a common altar, upon a common equality. Concerning
the correspordence report of last year. Brother Chambers makes the fol-
lowing observation — •

With much regret, we find that we have but scant space left
in which to refer to the scholarly and instructive correspondence
report of Bro. Delmar D. Darrah. It takes rank with the best of the
year. The craft in Illinois is fortunate to have for its reviewer a
brother possessing the safe Masonic conservatism and keen, critical
perception of Brother Darrah.

His review of Quebec's (1918) Proceedings is a generous and
kindly one, covering over four i)agcs.

QUEENSLAND, A. F. & A. M.

1918

The proceedings under review are made up of a large number of
special and stated meetings. It would be quite impossible to consider
each meeting separately, and in this particular review there will be
chronicled merely the principal items of interest as gleaned from the year's
work.

Grand Master H. T. Ilurtzburg, because of ill health, found it neces-
sary to sever his official connection with the grand lodge. His farewell
address to his brethren is touching and shows him to be a true man
and Mason. James Stodart was elected to succeed him.

The Board of General Purposes appear to handle most of the im-
portant matters which come up during the year. They exercise financial
supervision over the various funds of the grand lodge. A peculiar thing
came up concerning the Grand Lodge of Ohio. It appeared that the
proceedings of the Grand Lodge of Queensland had for some time been regu-
larly reviewed by the Grand Lodge of Ohio, although no action had ever
been taken by the Grand Lodge of Ohio, looking toward the recognition
of Queensland. However, that subject was given due consideration and
the omission corrected by the Grand Lodge of Ohio. From one of the
reports of the Board of General Purposes the idea is gleaned that lodges
in Queensland must apply to the board for permission to ballot on can-
didates for initiation, for eighty applications were reported as having been
granted. Action on the matter of the Grand Lodge of France was de-
ferred. An address delivered by the grand chaplain, H. T. Molesworth,
was based upon the text. Honor All Men, Love the Brotherhood, Fear God,
and Honor the King. Kings are not, however, very much in favor at
the present time. And we Americans are 7iot disposed to go very far
in our desire to do them homage.

Queensland has seventy-two lodges. The total membership of the
grand jurisdiction is given at 2,600.

SASKATCHEWAN, A. F. & A. M.

1918

Tho twelfth auniial communication was held in the city of Moose-
Jaw on Wednesday, June 19, 1918. The mayor of the city welcomed the
grand lodge, and after the opening ceremonies the grand master pro-
ceeded with his annual address. He opens with a tribute to the fraternal
dead. He expresses the thought that of alLj;he jewels of Freemasonry,
the brightest is charity. He has much to say concerning the fall of
Jerusalem and thinks that all good Masons Avill rejoice in this achieve-
ment. One thousand dollars was sent to the Halifax sufferers. The
grand master asks the grand lodge to make a special effort to augment
the grand Lodge Benevolent fund by gratuitous contributions.

One Masonic temple was dedicated during the year. Among the
rulings was one that the working tools in the second degree must be pre-
sented to the candidate in full form. It would no doubt be interesting
to know just what this ceremony happens to be, since lodges have been
prone to seek a shorter method in the ceremony. The grand master states
that he has been very generous in the matter of granting special dispensa-
tions. Seven requests for the formation of new lodges reached him during
the year, and none of them were denied.

This grand lodge has one very good rule, it requires that every newly
elected master shall become proficient in the work, before being installed.
The grand master cautions the lodges in his jurisdiction that this provision
must be strictly lived up to. Several letters are printed in the proceedings
from grand representatives in other jurisdictions. All of them are quite in-
teresting and show that there is a possibility of grand representatives becom-
ing of some practical use provided they follow the plan of sending a letter
to the grand lodge which they represent, to be read at the annual meet-
ing. The reports of the district deputy grand masters are also interesting,
as each lodge is taken up and thoroughly discussed. This discrimination
ought to stimulate the officers of these lodges toward better work.

The grand chaplain made an address to the grand lodge upon the
subject. The Unique Feature in Masonry. The oration is not printed. We
are, therefore, unable to determine just exactly what is unique in Masonry.

The report of the grand secretary is quite a long document and goes
into detail concerning charters issued, dispensations for new lodges, spe-
cial dispensations, and many other items of routine business. He reports
the number of chartered lodges as 127. The total membership of the juris-
diction 8,286, a net increase of 678. Tlie receipts from all sources were
$32,669.00.

140 Appendix — Part I

The Finance Committe recommended the grand secretary's salary to be
fixed at $2,400 a year, a splendid salary to be paid by a small grand lodge.
The grand lodge voted to co-operate with the Grand Lodge of Canada in
its War Lecture Bureau Service.

Following the installation of officers the retiring grand master was
presented with a set of regalia. After which, the newly appointed dis-
trict deputy grand masters, were called together and given their instructions
for the coming year. There is no report on foreign correspondence made
a part of the proceedings.

SCOTLAND

1»18

A comprehensive review of the Grand Lodge of Scotland is rather
difficult for the reason that frequent communications are held, at which
various business matters are transacted. The proceedings under con-
sideration are quite different from the average American grand lodge
book. Much statistical matter together with lists of names, officers,
etc., are placed in the front part of the volume.

Among the various items which are observed, is a vote of thanks
to the Grand Lodge of Illinois for a copy of its annual proceedings.
The principal business of the grand lodge appears to be handled during
interim by what is called a Grand Committee consisting of seventeen
brethren elected by the grand lodge in quarterly communication.

It is apparent that the Grand Lodge of Scotland has felt the high
cost of printing and paper, for it took under consideration an increase
in the cost of printing the annual proceedings.

One decision is noted. A lodge received an unfavorable report on
a petitioner for the degrees. The report was approved by the lodge
and no ballot taken. The decision was that this act constituted a re-
jection, and that the candidate in applying to another lodge would be
required to state a previous rejection. The committee expressed the
opinion, however, that a ballot should ahvaj-s be taken regardless of
the nature of the report of the Investigating Committee.

The Grand Lodge of Scotland administers its charities through what
is called an annuity fund. A complete list of all persons receiving

Masonic Correspondence 141

assistance from the grand lodge, together with their ages is given. The
total number of recipients was 261, and the amount distributed in the
neighborhood of $14,000, somewhat cheaper than the Grand Lodge of
Illinois is enabled to take care of its dependents.

From a careful perusal of the proceedings, it is apparent that the
Grand Lodge of Scotland is in a prosperous condition and working
out its Masonic destiny in accordance with the traditions of Scottish
Freemasonry.

SOUTH CAROLINA, F. A. M.

1918

The one hundred eighty-second annual meeting convened iu the city of
Charleston on Tuesday, December 10, 1918.

Two hundred thirty-one out of two hundred seventy-two lodges were
present at the opening ceremonies which were brief. The first thing that
the grand lodge did was to appropriate $30.00 for the employment of an
official stenographer. On motion, representatives of all U. D. lodges were
placed on the roll for the payment of mileage and per diem. The grand
representatives of other jurisdictions were officially received after which
nine past grand masters were presented with appropriate aprons.

The grand master, William W. Wanamaker, presented an address some-
what voluminous in character covering fully ninety pages. He refers to
the state of the craft and pronounces the patriotic spirit to have been
predominant during the year. He refers to the relations with other grand
lodges and emphasizes the need of coordination. He makes a long report
on the status of Freemasonry in France and submits his findings to the
grand lodge without recommendation, other than to say —

142 Appendix — Fart I

Expressing a personal view, I have come to l)olieve that Ma-
sonry can best serve mankind, advance civilization and assist in
the establishment of a universal brotherhood, with the resultant
virtue of peace on earth, by only obliging world membership ' ' to
that religion in which all men agree, • • • that is, to be
good men and true, or men of honor nnd honesty, by whatever
denominations or persuasions they may be distinguished," leaving
the Dogma to the choice of the particular grand body. Unques-
tionably such was its character up to 1877, and it is only in this
broad and liberal interpretation that it can be made world-wide
and thus accomplish the great mission of serving humanity, for
poor, weak humanity's sake; of recognizing every human being as
a brother, one of God's creatures, on the same journey, though, per-
haps, in devious paths, to that ' ' undiscovered country from whose
bourne no traveller returns. ' '

The various war industries of the Grand Lodge of South Carolina re-
ceived much favorable comment, and the New York conference of grand
masters is discussed in full. Numerous dispensations were issued by the
grand master, all of them were to set aside existing laws of the juris-
diction.

The list submitted covers thirty-one pages. The by-laws of four lodges
were approved and seven lodges were duly constituted. According to the
grand master, the lodges of South Carolina did a vast amount of work
by courtesy, and received numerous favors at the hands of other grand
lodges.

During the year the grand master officially visited seven of the lodges
of the state. He attended the meetings of the George Washington Me-
morial Association, and strongly commends the good work being accom-
I'lished by that society .

The grand master rendered several opinions. He did not call them
decisions. One was that when the master of a lodge removes from that
state, the senior warden becomes acting master. He decided that a peti-
tioner for the degrees who is a native of a country at war with the United
States is eligible for the honors of Masonry. He decided that fees re-
quired for initiating, passing and raising were not dues to the lodge, and
for that reason, a lodge might require or remit these dues. One decision
is out of the ordinary and that is that a petition for degrees having been
received by the lodge could not be withdrawn, even though there might
be an error in the form of the petition and that the petitioner might not
be within the jurisdiction of the lodge.

The reports of the district deputy grand master which are made to
the grand master are for the most part brief and merely formal in char-
acter.

Masonic Correspondence 143

The grand treasurer received $30,G69 and paid out $32,435. The re-
port of the grand secretary is largely numerical. He states that 1875
members of lodges were in war service, and that the total amount contributed
to the war fund was $2,729. The grand Jodge maintains a cemetery at the
city of Magnolia and the sum of $75.00 was contributed for the care of
the grounds. The graiid lodge fully endorsed the Iowa plan of universal
Masonic Service. Among the appropriations made by the Finance Com-
mittee, was one of $1,000 to cover the traveling expenses of the district
deputy grand masters.

The Jurisprudence Committee make a characteristic report. They
however, disapproved nine of the opinions rendered by the grand master.

A recommendation that the sum of $600 be paid to O, Frank Hart
for services rendered in connection with war work, went to the Committee
on Grand Treasurer's and Grand Secretary's Books. This conmiittee rec-
ommended the adoption of the recommendation. The writer hasn't the
slightest objection to Brother Hart being paid for war services, so long
as the money given him was taken out of the grand lodge treasury and not
from the amount voluntarily contributed by the brethren for the pursuit
of the usual war activities.

The proceedings contain some very interesting illustrations of a gavel
presented to the grand lodge by Charles H. Callahan. The gavel was made
from magnolia, taken from the last tree planted by George Washington at
Mt. Vernon. The grand lodge also ordered the purchase of 100 aprons
for the use of delegates to the grand lodge, and exempted Jodges from the
payment of the per capita tax on soldiers provided their dues were remitted
by the lodge. The session was closed by the election and installation of
officers.

The report on foreign correspondence is prepared by J. L. Michie,
past grand master. Ho gives Illinois four pages of critical review. Con-
cerning the Advisory Council of Brother Ealph H. Wheeler, Brother Michie
says-
He created an ' ' Advisory Council ' ' to consult ' ' on every ques-
ttion of any importance," and is "proud indeed" to tell his grand
lodge that their views, in practically every question, were his views.
He fails to tell us, however, who expressed said "views" first, he
or the "Council," reminding us of the Irishman who said he once
made twenty men run like mad, "but," he added, "I went first."

Concerning club rooms in lodges, ho expresses the thought that if the
brethren would cut out all revenue features from their club rooms and such
appurtenances as arc supplied, and make them free to every member of the
lodge, that much of the trouble arising from this source would disappear.
He engages in a lengthy argument with Brother Charles H. Martin con-

144 Appendix — Part I

cerniiig the Past Master's Degree. The subject is passed by this writer
lor the reason that he does not consider it worth discussing.

The grand lodge believes in doing things properly, for a most excel-
lent steel engraving of Grand Master Fred H. Rugg opens the proceedings.
A Shrine pin in the lapel of his coat and a Knight Templar charm
on the end of his watch chain might lead the novice to conclude that
he was a Mason, although among the emblems displayed the square and
compass are not visible.

The forty-fourth annual meeting was held at Aberdeen, South Da-
kota, on Tuesday, June 11, 1918. Preliminary to the opening ceremonies,
the American flag was presented by the grand steward, after which
the roll of officers and representatives was called. The grand chaplain
offered a most excellent prayer alluding to war times. The grand mas-
ter, Fred H. Bugg, presents an address, brief, but interesting. He savs
in his opening remarks that he made it just as easy as possible for
young soldiers to become Masons. Four lodges were constituted and a
dispensation issued for the formation of one new lodge. The grand
master had the pleasure of dedicating one Masonic temple. He urges
the lodges of the state to undertake the collection of as much money as
possible, the same to be used in increasing the charity fund of the grand
lodge.

The usual number of dispensations to elect and install officers is
reported. The grand master advises that he declined all requests for dis-
pensations waiving the time limit between the conferring of degrees and
required every candidate to show suitable proficiency before advancing.
Under the head of decisions a number of questions and answers are sub-
mitted. He decided that a lodge could not retain the fee of an elected
candidate who failed to appear for the degrees on the ground that Ma-
sonry is something greater than a mere money-making institution. The
grand master is absolutely right in the conception of the functions of
the institution, although it would be a pretty hard matter to get some
lodges to take that view of the matter. He states that he is personally

Masonic Correspondence 145

in favor of army lodges, but after the ruling of the war department in
reference to lodge meetings about army camps, he concluded that it would
be unwise to further consider the subject.

He closes with an appeal on behalf of the Masons of the world and
expresses the hope that the grand lodge will take the necessary steps
to secure proper recognition abroad and thereby prove the truth of the
much vaunted Masonic attribute of universality.

The grand treasurer reports receipts of $12,000 and expenditures
of $11,328. Tlie report of the grand secretary covers the many items
which pass through his office. He states that war certificates to the num-
ber of 883 were furnished by the grand lodge to soldiers going overseas.
He urges the lodges to prepare for peace, by raising sums of money for
the care of such cases as require immediate relief. The number of lodges
in the state is given at 147 and the members in good standing, 12,908.
One thousand and three were raised to the sublime degree of Master
Masons and 682 given as the net gain. The first real business of the
grand lodge was to pass a resolution recognizing the Grand Lodge of
Prance. A committee was appointed to convey the greetings of the grand
lodge to the Eastern Star, then in session. The obituary committee make
a short report, but mention the names of none who passed away during
the year. The Committee on Jurisprudence approved all decisions and
dispensations of the grand master. The proceedings of the grand lodge
were interrupted by the return of the committee appointed to visit the
Eastern Star, who were accompanied by a delegation of women from the
grand chapter.

The grand lodge was called to refreshment and the ladies admitted
into the presence of the grand lodge. A memorial service was then held
for S. A. Brown, and short addresses were made by several brothers.
It beats all how these Masons like to show off before the ladies of the
Eastern Star. The memorial services out of the way the Twinkler dele-
gation were then formally introduced to the grand lodge and each star
twinkled for the edification of the brethren present. Amen, so mote it be.

The grand lodge raised the grand secretary's salary to $2300 and
gave him an office assistant at $1200. The Committee on Library make
a report in which the statement is made that the library had been made
more valuable by the addition of the proceedings of several Grand Councils
of Eoyal and Select Masters of the United States. This writer is of the
opinion that a liberal translation of the above means that the grand
library acquired just so much junk. Proceedings of grand bodies possess
no educational value whatsoever. Their purpose is to put into permanent
form transactions for future reference. This is one troul)le with
the average Masonic library and explains why it is so poorly patronized.

146 Appendix — Part I

It is because the shelves are loaded down with irrelevaut matter which
no intelligent man is going to waste his time over.

The grand lodge increased the mileage of representatives to seven
cents one way. It was estimated that the increase would take care of
the war tax. The installation of oflEicers and the presentation of the jewel
closed the session. In an appendix to the proceedings is a very interest-
ing picture of a flag raising held during the session of grand lodge. This
is followed by the honor roll giving 1,216 names in war service. The
report on correspondence was prepared by Samuel A. Brown prior to
his death. It was presented to the grand lodge by C. L. Brockway, grand
secretary. Illinois is given five pages in which the various acts of our
grand lodge are detailed. He calls our proceedings a Masonic text book from
which one may gather education, statistics, law, administration, and a
good corking report on correspondence.

As we read between the lines from the comment on the Grand
Master's Advisory Council, we gain the idea that Brother Brown believed
that while the council might work out satisfactorily in the hands of
him who conceived it, yet he preferred to watch the operation of the scheme
in other hands, before passing final judgment. Brother Brown must have
been a prophet for when Grand Alaster Austin H. Scrogin, who followed
Brother Wheeler came in he tried to put the scheme into operation, but
very soon suspended it, for the reason which he gave to the writer, that
the members of the council were not disposed to give advice, but wanted
to run the whole show, and that he soon found that he had fourteen grand
masters to contend with. If we may judge from the report. Brother Brown
would like to put a question mark after the statement of Brother Wheeler
that Masonry is pro-religious. He says —

The committee and the grand lodge agreed with tlie grand
master. We have been trying for years to get our Illinois breth-
ren to live up to that, but they will not lay the corner-stone of a
church, nor permit a lodge to attend divine service, so we arc
not surprised that the Masonic press of Illinois is becoming anti-
religious.

The code-quiz receives favorable comment.

TASMANIA, A. F. & A. M.

1919

The twcuty-cighth annual eoinnumication was held in the Masonic
Hall at Launccston on Thursday, February 27, 1919. The grand lodge
was opened at four o'clock in the afternoon.

The Board of General Purposes make the first report. It is a paper
which deals almost exclusively with routine matters.

The grand secretary renders a detailed report and covers much of
the business matter of the yea^ such as naturally would be exj^ected
in the address of a grand master. He mentions the formation of one
new lodge, and calls attention to the fact that too many newly made
Masons drop out of the fraternity before they have had time to under-
stand its aims and principles. This is charged in a measure to lodge
laxity, and the grand secretary expresses the hope that lodges in the
future will w^ake up and take sufficient interest in their members that
will enable them to retain their membership.

The grand master, the Hon. C. B. Davis, addressed the grand lodge
in some length. He deals for the most part with a general condition
of the craft and speaks about the careless manner in which lodge
secretaries take care of the details of their respective offices. The old
charge about letters being lost is the excuse which is so often offered
as the reason for inattention to lodge details. The grand master says
that notwithstanding the large number who are leaving the fraternity,
that many new applications are being made and so great is the con-
gestion in some lodges that the formation of more Masonic bodies is
imperatively necessary. One thing for which the brethren of Tasmania
are to be congratulated, is the very excellent manner in which they
administer their benevolences. Contributions are liberally supplied and
it is apparent that the brethren believe that the first Masonic duty
is to take care of the helpless members of the society.

The proceedings under review contain just thirty-eight pages and
yet they faithfully record the transactions of the grand lodge, give
the necessary statistical tables and contain a brief report on foreign
correspondence. HIinois receives one page of very favorable comment.

TENNESSEE, F. & A. M.

1919

The Grand Lodge of Tennessee can make no claim of belonging to
the younger generation. The one hundred and fifth annual communication
opened in Nashville, Tennessee, on Wednesday, January 20.

Tlie first thing the grand lodge did after the ceremonies of opening
was to read that portion of the law concerning furnishing information
of the proceedings to newspapers, so that all might take due notice and
govern themselves accordingly. It is apparent that the Grand Lodge of
Tennessee has discovered leaks in its organization, and proposes to plug
them up as much as possible.

The first item of interest is the annual report of the grand master,
S. C. Brown, He opens by referring to the coming of peace to the world,
and expresses the hope that in the great reconstruction work which the
world must undertake, that Freemasonry will be in the front lines. Grand
Master Brown was not present in grand lodge when elected to the exalted
station which he now occupies. He refers feelingly to the fact that a
commission of seven past grand masters, the grand secretary, and rep-
resentatives of twenty-six lodges, came to his house and installed him as
grand master.

Two new lodges were constituted during the year, and the corner-
stone of one Masonic temple laid.

A long list of dispensations is reported, three of which failed to
meet the approval of the Committee on Jurisprudence. They related to
changes in the meeting time of lodges. All requests to waive the time
limits on soldiers, were refused.

The grand master reports thirty-four questions and answers under the
heading of Official Eulings. The grand master held that a Quaker desiring
to join a Masonic lodge might be permitted to affirm. The Committee on
Jurisprudence, however, declined to concur on the ground that the grand'
lodge had already decided that a lodge could not change any part of
the ritual in order to suit the religious views of a profane.

Several other decisions of the grand master were shot full of holes
by the Jurisprudence Committee, but they related wholly to local con-
structions of law. The average jurisprudence committee very seldom lets
an opportunity go by of taking a fall out of a grand master when they
are not afraid of their jobs.

The charter of one lodge was arrested because of its failure to place
on trial a brother who had shot another.

Masonic Correspondence 149

Another lodge lost its charter because it tolerated among its member-
ship a brother who had defrauded so many in the community that he fell
into disrepute and as a result many members of the lodge took their
dimits rather than to associate Masonically with the brother in question,

Tennessee was very generous in conferring degrees for other jurisdic-
tions. Illinois is credited with seven of the degrees so conferred.

The grand master does not like the idea of military lodges, and thiuks
they are not in accordance with the usual canons of Freemasonry.

The grand master got into a little trouble, however, because of his
generosity. He made a ruling, admitting to the Masonic Home, the widow
of a man who had been sixty-five years a Mason in good standing, and
who died at the age of ninety years. Four years prior to his death, he
took a dimit, but failed tO' deposit it with any lodge, notwithstanding the
fact that it was believed that his intentions in this respect were good. He
also recommended for admission, the widow and three children of a de-
ceased Mason who was aifflictcd with rheumatism and who had been sus-
pended by his lodge, after being carried for six years. The Jurisprudence
Committee, however, failed to concur in these recommendations of the grand
master, on the ground that the rules governing admission to the home were
fixed, and neither the Board of Control, nor the grand master had any
right to override them.

The grand master made several recommendations to his grand lodge
one was that the offices of grand marshal, grand sword bearer, and grand
steward be abolished because of their uselessness. The Jurisprudence Com-
mittee, however, stepped on the recommendation for the reason that these
offices have historic standing and being universal among all grand lodges,
should be preserved.

The grand master called attention to the district lecture system which
he stated was not measuring up to what was expected from it.

In two districts, it was found impossible to secure competent lecturers.

The Jurisprudence Committee thought there might be something in
the recommendation, and suggested that the incoming grand master give
the subject thoughtful study with a view to improving the system if pos-
sible. The grand master suggested an increase in the per capita tax
making it at least one dollar more than the present amount, this would
give the grand lodge a yearly increase of $30,000.

The grand treasurer reports total receipts of $59,000. The total ex-
penditures for all purposes were $72,663.84. In his report he accounts for
one item borrowed at various times, $14,000, showing that there have been
occasions when the income of the grand lodge did not take care of the cur-
rent expense.

150 Appendix — Part I

The grand treasurer of Tennessee is a well paid officer, as he drew
three percent on the general fund, one and one-half percent on charity
funds, a total of $1,630 this year.

The report of the grand secretary is a comprehensive document. The
total net gain in membership for the year is given as 1178. Two hundred
and eighty-five lodges show an increase while one hundred fourteen show a
decrease. Fifty-four lodges show neither increase nor decrease. A rather
peculiar situation arose as reported by the grand secretary. Lodges were
exempted from paying per capita tax on brethren to the amount of $2,196.
Inasmuch as $1,464 must be paid to the homes of the state for these ex-
empted brethren, the grand lodge was asked to decide just how to calculate
the amount due the home as a result of this condition.

The Board of Control of the Masonic Homes presents an extended
report that shows those institutions to be well managed and in excellent
condition.

TTie grand lodge held a night session in order to witness the conferring
of the degrees by the Board of Custodians.

The Grand Lodge of Tennessee has what is called a Committee on Ways
and Means. This committee take a great diversity of items and make
such recommendations to the grand lodge as in their judgment seems wise.

The Committee on Returns did a little investigating of their own, and
discovered that thirty-three lodges with a membership of twenty or less
had conferred no degrees during the year. Representatives of these lodges,
however, had been assiduous in attending the meetings of the grand lodge,
and had drawn in mileage and per diem sums much in excess of the amount
of grand lodge dues paid. As a result, the grand lecturers were directed
to investigate the conditions of these lodges and to affect consolidations
wherever possible.

Following the adoption of the report of the Committee on Jurispru-
dence, a resolution was adopted by the grand lodge authorizing the Board
of Control to receive into the home the dependents of the deceased Master
Masons for whom the grand master had made his sympathetic appeal.

The Committee on Appeals and Grievances makes quite a lengthy re-
port in which the names of miscreants are printed in full as well as details
of the offenses for which they were tried.

The Committee on the Recognition of French Masonry declined to rec-
ommend the accordance of fraternal relationship and suggested that the
subject be placed in the hands of a committee for further consideration.
A motion to raise the per capita tax to $2.00 was presented and adopted.

Masonic Correspondence 151

Just before the close of the grand lodge, the Committee on Ways and
Means made a recommendation fixing the salary of the grand treasurer at
$600 per year. Evidently the conimitteo did not propose that the grand
treasurer grow rich on his commissions for handling the moneys of the
grand lodge.

The grand lodge voted to become members of the George Washington
Association, and appropriated the sum of $2500 to be paid in five annual
installments.

The installation of officers and the presentation of a signet ring to
the newly installed grand master, closed the session.

The report on foreign correspondence is prepared by a committee
of which H. H. Chambers is chairman. Illinois is accorded two pages of
very courteous review. Several quotations are taken from the address of
Grand Master Austin H. Scrogin. This is no fault found with anything
which our grand lodge did.

TEXAS, A.F.&A.M.

1918

It requires a volume of practically one thousand pages to record
the proceedings of the eighty-third grand annual communication of the
Grand Lodge of Texas, together with various data; 587 are given over
to printing- the names of officers and members of the various lodges.

The annual meeting was held at Waco on Tuesday, the third day
of December, 1918. Prior to the opening ceremonies, the roll of grand
representatives was called and those amljassadors were formally wel-
comed by the grand master. The grand lodge was then opened and
after the usual formalities, the grand master, John E. Arnold, read his
annual address. In his opening remarks. Brother Arnold refers to the
immense amount of business that has passed through his hands. He
refers to the coming of peace, and makes the following observation —
Saul, the son of Kish, in search of his father's asses, found a
kingdom: Wilhelm II sought the earth and found a temporary
refuge in The Netherlands; and his followers, in quest of the
approbation of their war-lord have, may we not hope, found
liberty and that no more, forever, shall exist what has been,
since a far-off elder day, when humanity as beasts of burden
were and Caliphs, Sultans, Czars and Kaisers beasts of prey.

152 Appendix — Part I

Now let that portion of the Allied army, which turned the
tide of battle from defeat to victory, land on the American
continent and see what the American people will do for them.

The illustrious dead of other grand jurisdictions are mentioned and
the matter of foreign relations discussed at some length, but there
is nothing which would indicate any unusual conditions.

Four new lodges were constituted, and three lodges which had failed
to meet during an interim of three months, and whose charters were
arrested, had the documents restored to them. It is apparent that the
grand master does not believe in the promiscuous granting of dispensa-
tions, for the list which he submits is quite limited. He refused to
issue a dispensation to lay the corner-stone of a band stand. He also
declined all requests to confer degrees on Sunday or to appear in parades
other than for burial purposes. He refused to permit lodges to hold
their meetings in theaters where more commodious meeting places were
temporarily required.

The grand master severely took one lodge to task because it had
permitted the conferring of the degrees on soldiers by the use of cere-
monials other than those prescribed by the Grand Lodge of Texas. It is
apparent from what the grand master said that he believes the ritualistic
work of Texas has been developed at great effort and expense by
some very smart men and is the only legal way in which a candidate
can be made a Master Mason, and that any other system can have but
one effect, and that is to make the petitioner appear as illegally made.
From the report, it appears that the lodge under censure was doing
considerable work on soldiers and not infrequently would invite com-
petent degree teams among the soldiers from the different jurisdictions
to confer a degree according to the ritualistic attainments of the ^Juris-
diction from which they hailed. This brought the lodge in question
into trouble.

It is a matter of sincere regret that Freemasonry has not yet pro-
ceeded far enough in its evolution to divorce the ritual from the
principles of the fraternity. Today, there are numbers of Masons who
regard the ritual as Masonry and everything of a Masonic character
is judged wholly and solely by adherence to certain ritualistic prac-
tices which are generally accepted as having been handed down to
Masonic posterity by King Solomon, the alleged first grand master. It
is true that no grand master should permit a potpourri of work in his
jurisdiction, but it is a mighty good thing and highly educational in
effect, to witness the work of other jurisdictions. Freemasonry will
never amount to anything until the fraternity is taken out of the hands
of the ritualists and its affairs given over to men who look upon rtiual

Masonic Correspondence 153

merely as a means to an end, and who are broad enough to see in the
fraternity a potent force for social and moral development and the
upbuilding of the human race.

Much is said by the grand master concerning the conferring of
degrees by courtesy and the many abuses that frequently arise there-
from. He gives a table showing the exchange between Texas and
other grand jurisdictions, in which it is shown that Texas lodges con-
ferred 182 degrees for Illinois lodges, while Illinois lodges conferred
25 degrees for Texas lodges. The grand master reports no decisions,
stating that nothing was presented to him during that year that could
not be satisfactorily answered by reference to the established code.

One peculiar case which the grand master reports was in reference
to the efforts of a district deputy grand master to settle a difference
which arose between two lodges. He endeavored to exact a promise
from one of the offending masters that he would thereafter obey the
constitution and edicts. He stated that he was unable to make such
a promise, assigning as a reason his inability to read or write.

The grand treasurer reports total receipts of approximately $75,000
and disbursements of $62,683.

The report of the grand secretary gives the total number raised
during the year as 7,595, and the present membership of Texas lodges
77,600, a net gain for the year of over 6,000.

The War Belief Fund collected is given at $15,886.47. On the eve-
ning of the first day session, an oration was delivered by the grand
orator on the subject of Masonry and Patriotism. He makes con-
siderable reference to distinguished men of colonial days and quotes
numerous actors in the great drama of the American Eevolution as
having been Masons. His statement that the Boston Tea Party was
a band of Masons dressed as Mohawk Indians will have to be chal-
lenged. It is true that the members of the Boston Tea Party met in
the lodge room of St. Andrews Masonic Lodge, Boston, Massachusetts,
but there is nothing to show that the entire party was made up of
Masons, or that the enterprise was even inspired by Masons. In the
absence of proof as to the Masonic connection of the fraternity with
the Boston Tea Party, we have no right to make an assumption which
cannot be substantiated.

George L. Schoonover was present and submitted the matter of
the National Masonic Service Association. A long report comes from
the Committee on Masonic Homes, and that institution is shown to
be in an excellent condition.

154 Appendix — Part I

The net per capita cost per month is given as $22.43 which includes
the salary of the teachers in the school. The number of children in
the home during the past year has averaged 230.

The Committee on Masonic Kosearch present a very interesting
paper entitled Masonry in the World War, written by George W. Tyler.
It contains very much data of interest to the Masonic student.

The Jurisprudence Committee report nothing unusual and commend
the grand master for having stood firm and immovable upon the con-
stitution of Freemasonry.

The Committee on Appeals and Grievances present a long report
but they do not mention the names of the accused, merely using the
initials.

The salary of the grand secretary was fixed at $3,000. The grand
master draws no salary but is allowed $1,200 for traveling expenses.

The jiresentation of the past grand masters jewel, together with
the election and installation, closed the session.

The report on correspondence is brief, 77 pages taking care of the
matters submitted by James D. Crenshaw, who wrote the review. Illi-
nois received one page of consideration,

UTAH, F. & A. M.

1919

The record states that on Tuesday, the 21st day of January, 1919, the
grand lodge met in forty-eighth annual communication in the city of Utah.
One feature of the proceedings under review is to be highly commended.
The grand secretary. Freeman A. McCarty, prints marginal references,
so that it is very easy to follow the disposition of any matter presented
to the grand lodge by merely referring to the page indicated in the
marginal notes. He is the first grand secretary to make use of this plan,
and he is thanked by this writer who expects to follow the plan in the
preparation of the proceedings of the Grand Commandery of Illinois.

The roll call disclosed seventeen representatives present, out of the
twenty chartered lodges of the jurisdiction. The grand lodge was opened
and the rules of order read for the information of those assembled. The

Masonic Correspondence 155

entire forenoon appears to have been taken up with the report of the
Credentials Comniitteo and the appointment of various other committee-
men. The grand master, Herbert M. McMillan presented his annual ad-
dress at 2 0 'clock in the afternoon. It is a short document, but a faithful
report of the various business which passed thru his hands. He reports
that he closed the lodges of the state during the flu epidemic and author-
ized all Masonic burial services to be held in the open at the grave. He
visited quite a number of the lodges of the jurisdiction. Concerning his
official visits he has the following to say —

In making the visitations a new plan of procedure was carried
out in following the plan proposed by me on the night of my
installation. The lodges were requested to turn the time over to
the grand lodge. No work was exemplified. Instead written
addresses prepared by the grand lodge officers on specially
assigned subjects were read. The change was refreshing and
in this manner many subjects of interest to the craft were dis-
cussed. Wherever we went we received words of commendation
for the new order of things.

Addresses were delivered upon the following subjects:
What is Freemasonry and When Did It Originate.
Symbolism in Masonry.
Requii-ements of Masonry as to Eeligion.
Innovations in Masonry.
Our Eitual — Whence and How Derived.
Washington — the Mason.

History of the Grand Lodge and Development of the Three
Degrees.

I recommend a continuation of this procedure at least for
a time. It woidd be a means of supplying the work which the Com-
mittee on Masonic Education consistently fails to supply.

The i")lan as suggested by the grand master is most excellent, and
clearly demonstrates that the official visits of grand officers can be made
of genuine value to the craft. Too often the visits of grand lodge
officers are made the occasion of unusual display and much expense. Each
official is paraded to the front, formally presented to the brethren assem-
bled, falters a few feeble ideas, receives a bouquet and goes home. In
Illinois the visit of the grand master or any of his associate officers is
made the occasion for the conferring of a degree. The idea seems to
be fixed that a meeting is not a success unless there is a degree con-
ferred. The result is that with the reception of officers, the speeches,
the degree work, and the midnight lunch, it is about or hailf past one
in the morning, when the folks get home and little of real value has
been accomplished.

The grand master of Utah appears to have departed from the old
order of things and it is refreshing to note that he has devised a new

156 Appendix — Part I

plan of making the grand master's visit one worth while. The grand
master was asked for a dispensation to initiate a candidate who was
. minus one foot. He was obliged, however, to refuse the request, and
referred the subject to the grand lodge for its action. The grand master
submits to the grand lodge a question relating to the status of a sus-
pended or expelled Mason who is restored to good standing in the fra-
ternity only, and is given a certificate of the fact by the grand Jodge.
He wants to know how long this certificate remains good. There is,
however, nothing in the proceedings to .show that the grand lodge wrestled
with the proposition.

The sum of $120 was donated from the charity fund for the relief
of a past grand master. Brother McMillan states that he found it
unnecessary to render any decision during the year and makes the fol-
lowing comment which will be appreciated by every past grand master —
Thus I hope I have escaped the searching review of the
Jurisprudence Committee, the hoary headed spectre which points
its threatening finger before the trembling gaze of every grand
master. But perhaps the microscopic eye of that honorable and
most respected committee, may after all detect some act of mine
which needs must be uncovered and, stripped of its habiliments,
dragged naked before you for a rude and cruel condemnation.
Who knows? Well, if come it must, then let it come.

Much is said concerning the Masonic Service Association of the United
States, and the need of Masonic unity in prosecuting great reforms.

The conclusion of Brother McMillan shows that he has been looking
beneath the externals of the society and sees possibilities, which if taken
seriously can make Freemasonry a world factor —

Conflicts between the emplo3'ors and the employed are threat-
ening and disaster portends. All will be affected. What organization
is better fitted, with its cosmopolitan membership, to withstay this
break than is our own? Our members come from every walk of
life. Employers and emploj'ees gather in our temples and meet
with each other on the level. All have been taught the ennobling
virtues of justice, equality and charity. If in our regular and
special meetings the attention of our members be kept riveted on
this subject until they are inspired with a desire and purpose
to go out into the walks of life, counselling composure and
equanimity among their neighbors, and practicing the teachings
of Masonry in their own dealings with their fellowmen, such an
influence will be wielded by Masons and Masonry, with its mil-
lions of members, as to render this threatened strife well nigh
impossible. What a wonderful victory this would be for us. Here
indeed is a great throbbing humanitarian work challenging the
attention of Masonry. What will her answer be?

Both the senior and junior wardens made reports to the grand lodge.
They are interesting in the extreme. They cover such matters as they

Masonic Correspondence 157

were called upon to atteiul to during the year. The_ receipts as reported
by the grand treasurer were $-4,682. 65 and the disbursements $;'),30;5.

The grand secretary makes the customary report giving the net gain
for the year at 114 and the present number of members 2,841. The grand
lecturer reports the appointing of deputy grand lecturers and the issu-
ance of certificates of qualification. He held one school of instruction
and his total expenses for the year were $11.90.

A school of instruction was held on the evening of the first day of
the grand lodge and was attended by the grand master, grand officers,
and representatives. The Committee on Foreign Correspondence brought
in a report favoring the recognition of the Grand Lodge of France, and
the grand lodge upon recommendation of the Jurisprudence Committee
adopted the suggestion. The Committee on Correspondence declined to
favor the recognition of the Grand Orient of Italy, because of its un-
warranted invasion of the jurisdiction of American grand lodges.

A question was submitted to the grand lodge as to whether a candi-
date with a stiff knee could be initiated. The Jurisprudence Committee
rendered a decision that he could not. The Jurisprudence Committee also
recommended that the grand lodge join the Masonic Service Association
of the United States. The four lodges of Salt Lake City invited the
grand lodge to partake of a luncheon at 12:30 o'clock and it is needless
to say that the members were not at all reluctant in accepting the in-
vitation.

The question of a universal Masonic emblem was referred to the Com-
mittee on Jurisprudence and that august body decided that the question
was one of expediency and not of law and recommended that it be not
accepted.

The election and installation presentation of the signet ring and
the past grand master's jewel closed the interesting session.

The report on foreign correspondence is prepared by Sam Henry
Goodwin. He opens his report with the following comment on the prayer
of our grand chaplain, Walter Aitken. Just what Brother Goodwin is
driving at is not clear to the writer, perhaps the reader may solve the
riddle —

The prayer of the grand chaplain fronts us, as we open the

proceedings of this great jurisdiction. We realize that

" * * * jipt words have power to swage
The tiimours of a troubled mind,
And are as balm to festered wounds."

But more than words arc necessary to life the spirit Godward. And
if what we sometimes ask for should be granted, we might share
Manoah's feelings though we hesitate long before using his words.

158 Appendix — Part I

li * ♦ • Nay, what thing good
Prayed for, but often proves our woe, our bane?
I prayed for children, and thought barrenness
In wedlock a reproach; I gained a son,

Oh, wherefore did God grant me my request.
And, as a blessing, with such pomp adorned?
Why are his gifts desirable, to tempt
Our earnest prayers, then given with solemn hand
As graces, draw a scorpion's tail behind?"

The following comment on the chartering of Nauvoo Lodge No. 1021
is interesting —

Among lodges chartered at this communication, we note one,
the name of which has a passing interest for Utah Masons. It is
"Nauvoo 1021." A dispensation was granted to a Nauvoo Lodge,
once before — back in the early 40s — and that Lodge U. D. made
hundreds of Masons, over night as it were, often with only- a few
hours between the reception of the petition, the election and
conferring of the degrees. And those Nauvoo Masons came to
Utah, under Bringham Young, established here their theocratic-
politico-ccclesiasticaJ government, and transferred many of the
Masonic ceremonies — which they had learned in Nauvoo — into their
endowment house rites.

He takes up that part of Brother Austin H. Scrogin's address re-
ferring to recognition of the Grand Lodge of France and indulges in a
critique which is reproduced in full for the information of Illinois brethren.

The grand master referred to some unauthorized circulars
issued by certain lodges of the jurisdiction, for the purpose of
creating opinion, favorable to the recognition of the Masonry
of France, The merits of the question entirely aside, the grand
master very properly stopped this work. In this connection, he
takes up the matter of recognition of the French bodies. We
recognize that there are two sides to this controversy. At no
time, in our observations on the subject have we criticized any
grand lodge for the position taken, but we have not hesitated, nor
shall we hesitate, to criticize the grounds upon which grand masters
and committees base their reports on the subject. And this
for the purpose, not, primarily, of seeking to establish our in-
dividual viewpoint, but in order that facts on both sides may be
brought out, and, if possible, the truth established.

Grand Master Scrogin bases his conclusions — adverse to the
claims of French Masonry — apparently, upon certain authorities:
P. G. M. Joseph Bobbins, "the profoundest Masonic jurist and
scholar Illinois ever produced, ' ' and Maekey. We presume the
grand master woidd not take the position that Brother Bobbins
exhausted all the sources of knowledge, or that, by some strange
prescience he anticipated all future changes and conditions. Be-
cause he led the grand lodge to assume a certain position near

Masonic CorrcHpondcncc 159

half a century ago, it docs not follow that the considerations upon
which such action rested, have remained untouched by the lin<jer
of Time. In fact, the grand nuister shows by his characterization
of the Illinois law on physical qualifications — for the present form
of which Brother Robbing appears to have been responsible —
which he says "is rigid in the extreme," and which, in his judg-
ment should be changed so * ' as to j)ermit these returning heroes,
though maimed and torn in our defense, (conditions of which
Brother Roltbins had no knowledge, and for which ho did not,
and could not provide) to fvpply to our lodges for admission" —
he shows by this, we say, that neither he, nor grand lodge —
which agreed with him — consider Brother Robbins, as an author-
ity, to be above the mutations of the years. And if in respect
to jihysical qualifications he failed to anticipate the readjust-
ments made necessary by this unprecedented war, may it not well
be that some conditions have arisen — due to the same war — which
should moilify our views with reference to French Masonry? AVe
do not say that this is so, but simply ask the question, for we
have the feeling that there are many respects and matters in which
we, personally, should be unwilling to have brothers of half a cen-
tury ago, do our thinking for us. Martin Luther and John Calvin
brought a message to the people of their day, and subsequent time,
which ju-ofoundiy affected the currents of thought and history,
but that fact would hardly justify us in emulating Luther 's
bigoted and unchristian attitude toward Zwingli, or lead us to the
side of Calvin, while he holds the garments, as it were, of those
who burned Servetus at the stake for heresy.

The grand master, apparently, leans more or less heavily upon
Mackey. He mentions "landmarks," and then quotes Mackey's
19th Landmark, as though the final word had been spoken. But
our distinguished l>rother knows that few Masons or grand lodges
accept Mackey's list of landmarks. And why? Because that
author's definition of a landmark is the "worm in the bud," as
it were, which makes acceptance out of the question. That is not
the only reason, but it will suffice here.

Nor do we quite catch the force of our brother's logic when,
after saying, "It has always been admitted that a denial of the
existence of a supreme and superintending power is an absolute
disqualification for initiation," he follows with a reference to
the much discussed changes in the constitution of the Grand Orient
which left this not required, as though that clenched the argu-
ment. We do not agree that not requiring the affirmation of a
certain theologica.1 or philosophical statement, is, per sc a denial
of it. It may well leave the matter outside, and as not being
considered at all. And this latter cuorse Avould in no sense in-
volve the consequences of the grand master's assertion.

Corncerning the report on foreign correspondence, the following
taken —

Many full and valuable reports, which show what has been
accomplished by the craft of this jurisdiction, are given in the
volume before us. With these we cannot tarry, nor can we consider

160 Appendix — Part I

the interesting and informing report on correspondence, as we
would like to do. P. G. M. Darrah has taken hold of this task
with an understanding that does not always appear in a first
effort.

Utah for 1918 is reviewed, and to this he gives between five
and six pages. All that is characteristic of our work is noted.
One statement calls for a word. The reviewer says: "Here
is another grand lodge to espouse the latest Masonic fad. The
retiring grand master passed on to his successor the signet ring. ' '
Not quite right, brother. An even quarter of a century has passed
since the then retiring grand master presented to his successor
this ring to be passed on to succeeding grand masters. Janu-
ary, 189-4, is the date of the inception of the practice in Utah.
The age of the custom, so far as Utah is concerned, would seem
to Jift it out of the class of the "latest Masonic fad."

VERMONT, F. & A. M.

1919

The writer picks up the proceedings of the Grand Lodge of Vermont
with considerable interest, for the reason that Henry H. Eoss, grand sec-
retary, and Henry L. Ballon, past grand master, who have much to do
with shaping the destiny of Freemasonry in the State of Vermont, are
personal friends.

The one hundred and twenty-sixth annual meeting was held in the
city of Burlington, on June 11 and 12, 1919. The opening ceremonies
were very brief, after which the grand master, David A. Elliott, read an
address of seven pages. It is quite apparent that the grand master of
A'^ermont does not believe in exhausting his brethren with a recital of
business details. He refers to the close of the war and the large number
of wounded soldiers who are being returned to this country, and suggests
the splendid opportunity for service that is being offered Freemaeonry. He
reports the condition of the Craft to be most excellent, and under the
subject of dispensations states that he was by no means reckless in the
matter of issuing these documents, and only gave them out after careful
inquiry into the necessities of the case. He made no decisions as no
situation arose which seemed to warrant anything of the sort. Among the
Grand Eepresentatives whom he commissioned was Eichard C. Davenport
to represent the Grand Lodge of Vermont near the Grand Lodge of lUi-

Masonic Correspondence 161

nois. Owing to the demands of his personal affairs, Bro. Elliott was unable
to do as much visitation as he would have liked.

The report of the grand secretary is interesting. The membership
roll shows a net gain for the year of 353, while the present membership
is given at 14,821.

The grand treasurer shows receipts of approximately $7,000 and ex-
penditures of a like amount.

The Masonic Temple operated by the grand lodge shows a net profit
of almost $1,000.

The Committee on Doings of Grand Officers contains a paragraph to
the effect that the greatest regard should be shown to the flag we love
so well, but they do not approve of any change in the ritual in order for
its accomplishment. This committee also expressed its disapproval of the
discussion of extraneous subjects in either subordinate lodge or grand
lodge, and made special reference to remarks on thrift and salvage which
had been made at the opening sessions of the grand lodge.

Brethren attending grand lodge were allowed seven cents per mile,
traveled, instead of four.

The election, installation, and presentation of the jewel closed the
session.

The brethren of Vermont appear to be very well satisfied with the
condition of i\lasoury in their jurisdiction, for from the report under
examination, there is no evidence of any desire on the part of anyone to
introduce amendments or to tamper with existing legislation.

The report on Foreign Correspondence as prepared by Charles H.
Darling is topically considered. It is a document of more than passing
interest containing much valuable information for the Masonic student.

VICTORIA, A.F.&A.M.

1918

This grand lodge holds quarterly communications. Much of the
business is handled by a Board of General Purposes. A perusal of the
report submitted shows the Grand Lodge of Victoria to be in a pros-
perous condition and its benevolences liberally administered. It ap-
pears that a position on the Board of General Purposes, is a coveted

162 Appendix — Part I

honor, and some brethren in the jurisdiction sent letters to various
lodges asking their support for this station. The board, however, stepped
on the practice and declared that "touting" for votes in any form was
highly unmasonic.

This grand lodge looks after the education of the children of worthy
Master Masons. At an examination held for free scholarships, there were
seventy-six entries, and seven candidates reached the required per-
centage and were awarded scholarships.

When a brother in Victoria fails to pay his dues, he is excluded
from his lodge and the fact announced in grand lodge. When he pays
his dues, he reinstates himsolf and the fact is again announced in
grand lodge.

The lodges made very satisfactory progress during the year, show-
ing a net gain of 707, while the jjresent membership is given as 17,026.

In the matter of dispensations, the Grand Lodge of Victoria is ex-
tremely liberal. Among the various reasons for the issuance of these
special privileges were to wear Masonic clothing at funerals, at choral
services, at socials, and to withdraw candidates from ballot.

The grand master does not make a report to the grand lodge such
as is customary among the jurisdictions in the United (States. At some
time during the grand lodge meeting, he makes a general address,
largely of a congratulatory character.

One thing that the Grand Lodge of Victoria does which shows that
it has advanced, is that it permits grouping of candidates in the mat-
ter of conferring degrees. Some day, all grand lodges will permit the
conferring of the degrees on more than one candidate at the same time,
for the reason that men will come to understand Masonry better and
to realize that there is something else to the fraternity, besides the
mere ceremonies of making men Masons.

The question of physical qualifications has received the attention
of our brethren of Victoria, and the necessity for a modification of
the laws is being seriously brought home to the brethren because of
the large number of soldier Masons who have returned to the juris-
diction in a crippled condition. One candidate for the degrees got
himself into very serious trouble. When he filled out his petition he
stated that he was a single man, later on he confessed that he had
made a false statement, and had done so for family reasons. The case
came before the Board of General Purposes who directed the lodge
not to proceed with the ballot, but that after a lapse of twelve months
the candidate might repetition, and if elected, receive the degrees.

Masonic Correspondence 163

It goes without saying that if every man who ijctitions a Masonic
lodge were to apprise his wife of the fact before he took the fatal
step, the chances are that much of the mad rush for degrees at the
present time would be slowed up. Our sympathies in this case are
very naturally with the man, because we have always held that if a
man does the right thing by his family and furnishes them with those
comforts which human life demands, his joining a Masonic lodge is
none of his wife's business. But no man has a right to deny his
family the necessary things of life in order to procure the privileges
of Masonry, and one of the most important functions of every investi-
gating committee is to find out whether a candidate can afford to take
the degrees.

A motion was put before the grand lodge providing for the appoint-
ment of a grand lecturer to visit the lodges of the jurisdiction and not
only instruct them in the work, but also to deliver to them lectures
concerning the history, philosophy, object, and purposes of the fra-
ternity. One brother spoke upon the motion and said some mighty
pertinent things which are reproduced herewith. It was M. W. Bro.
G. E. Emery who said —

I am quite sure we realize the importance of the suggestion
brought before this grand lodge, but it is a proposition which
cannot be dealt with in an offhand manner. A great deal of
consideration must be given to such an important question. If
we appoint a lecturer we give him a status which in effect en-
dorses the statements which he puts before his audience. That
is an objection, because the history of Freemasonry, although
clearly traced back through a long period, still contains many
debatable theories of speculative writers. I think, for that rea-
son, it would be perhaps a little dangerous to appoint a lecturer
with full authority to deliver lectures as a grand officer. It seems
to me that what we want is a small body of voluntary
lecturers who would assist each other. They could go from
lodge to lodge, and their lectures would be subject to del)ato.
In the meantime the Lodge of Research endeavors to fill the
gap. I would like to support R. W. Bro. Steane in carrying out
his ideas, as we all appreciate his lectures, and do not doubt
the authority of them, but a grand lecturer could not have
the same freedom in dealing with debatable points, and for that
reason I am rather favorable to the idea of voluntary lecturers.
The question, however, went to the Board of General Turposes for
their final consideration at a Jater date.

At a subsequent quarterly communication, the motion to appoint a
grand lecturer was taken and the board made a report stating that
they had been deeply influenced by the remarks of Brother Emory, and
believed that such educational work as was carried forward should be
purely voluntary, and the grand lodge supported that idea and defeated
the motion to appoint a grand lecturer.

One tiling the Grand Lodge of Victoria did, and that was to hold
a Thanksgiving service in commemoration of the cessation of hos-
tilities. This event took place in the town hall in Melbourne, on Monday,
December 2. There was plenty of music and some most excellent ad-
dresses.

VIRGINIA, A. F. & A. M.

1919

What is called the one hundred and forty-first grand annual com-
munication of the commonwealth of Virginia opened in the city of Rich-
mond on Tuesday, February 11, 1919. The grand Jodge at once listened
to the address of Ernest L. Cunningham, grand master, who presented an
address consisting or sixty-one pages and an appendix of forty-five images.
His address is full of literary and scriptural allusions, which show him
to be well versed in literature. He has considerable to say about the
war and pays a beautiful tribute to the soldier dead from Virginia. Some
trouble was experienced over what was alleged to be invasion of juris-
diction. On the part of jurisdictions initiating soldiers, among the guilty
ones were the states of Illinois, North Carolina, Ohio, and the District
of Columbia.

The grand master reported that the grand master of West Virginia
had issued an edict against a Mason by the name of Carper denying
him the right of visitation in West Virginia due to the fact that the said
Carper had been rejected in West Virginia and had petitioned the Virginia
lodge before the lapse of the three-year period. This is another evidence
of the desirability of universal laws on the subject of jurisdiction.

The grand master has considerable to say concerning claims made
by various grand jurisdictions over rejected material. Several decisions
are reported. One worshipful master who took it upon himself to loan
some of the lodge funds to a brother and to take a promissory note
for the same came in for a severe criticism on the part of the grand
master on the ground of his decision, that a worshipful master can-
not disburse the funds of the lodge except for strictly Masonic pur-
poses; and that funds of the lodge can be loaned neither by the lodge
nor the worshipful master. One peculiar point brought out is that the
by-laws of the lodge cannot designate the hour of meeting this being

Masonic Correspondence 165

wholly in the province of the master. lie declined to set apart any por-
tion of the law relating to physical qualilications. He refused to approve
a by-law which limited the amount of money which the master and his
wardens might expend in attending the sessions of the grand lodge. He
refused to approve a by-law which prohibited smoking in a lodge room
during the session of the lodge, claiming that the master rules and governs
his lodge and that it was wholly in his hands to permit smoking if he
chose. From several of the decisions of Grand Master Cunningham the
idea is gained that he is disposed to place considerable importance upon the
worshipful master of the lodge, and to invest that official with extraordi-
nary powers. There is some danger in exalting the station of master
too much, because no official is greater than the body which creates him.
The lodge itself is the supreme authority and not some individual called
to provide over its destinies for a short time.

Evidently Grand Master Cunningham does not believe in over indul-
gence in the dispensation habit, for the number issued by him is quite
limited. Lodges in Virginia have the right to lay corner-stones, for
several dispensations were issued for that purpose. He declined, however,
to permit one lodge to lay a corner-stone on Sunday, and refused to pass
an opinion concerning a Masonic life insurance company for fear what
he said might be construed as an endorsement. He refused to permit
circulars begging money for non-Masonic organizations to be sent to the
lodges of state. He recommended the automatic restoration of lodge
members suspended for non-payment of dues upon liquidations of their
indebtedness. He told the Masons of Virginia to observe law and order, and
recommended fixing the per capita tax at $2 per annum. Much is
said concerning the charity fund of the grand lodge which is supported
by voluntary contributions from the lodges. The amount expended during
the year of 1917 is $3,200. He states the Masonic home to be in a most
excellent condition. One thing the grand master did which was a little
out of the ordinary was to issue an edict reinstating to the rights and
benefits of Masonry a brother who had been suspended for non-payment
of dues. He also expressed himself as being opposed to the lodges of
Virginia, making any charge for conferring degrees on candidates from
other jurisdictions. Two grand jurisdictions took upon themselves to con-
fer the degrees on apprentices hailing from Virginia lodges without first
getting permission from the lodges holding jurisdiction. The Masonic
Journal of Virginia is warmly commended by the grand master and the
brethren urged to give it generous support. During the year several
circulars were sent to Virginia lodges by churches soliciting funds with
which to construct edifices. He advises lodges to throw aM such appeals
not having the approval of the grand master into the waste basket. He
closes his address to the grand lodge with some very interesting remarks
upon the subject The Cliffs of Masonry.

166 Appendix — Part I

The Virginia Committee on Masonic defense make quite a long report,
quoting liberally from the document of the New York committee showing
many of the difficulties encountered in the attempt to do overseas service.
The report of the grand treasurer gives the total receipts of the grand
lodge at $126,065. Of this amount, $60,000 was borrowed. The disburse-
ments were approximately $125,000. The reports of the district deputy
grand masters compare very favorably with those made by the district
deputies of Illinois, their chief burden of information being peaee and
harmony prevail. Lodges are well officered and in a healthy condition.
Congratulating you upon the suecess of your administration and thanhing
you in the honor of my appointment, I am, fraternally yours, etc.

Several of the district deputies of Virginia did, however, in their
reports request the grand master not to reappoint them. The Committee
on Masonic Home reported one gold star in the service flag of that insti-
tution. It also approved the purchase by the Board of Governors of fifty-
five and one-half acres adjoining the home property. The Committee on
Grand Master 's Address ajiproves some of the grand master 's decisions and
disapproved others. And now comes the Committee on Jurisprudence with
a report covering matters of similar import. It is sometimes hard to get
a committee on • grand master 's address to understand that their principal
function is separation and reference of the grand master's address and
not to pass judgment upon his acts. The election of officers did not take
place until the third day. The grand lodge elects the senior and junior
grand deacons. The installation of officers closed the session. Virginia
like many grand lodges jjriiits the roster of lodges with the name of
every member, a burdensome and expensive thing to do. The report on
foreign correspondence is by Joseph W. Eggleston. He devotes 160 pages
to the review. Illinois is unnoticed probably from the fact that our pro-
ceedings were not placed in his hands.

WASHINGTON, A. F. & A. M.

1918

This grand lodge held its 61st annual meeting in the city of Taeoma
on Tuesday, June 11, 1918. Some of the pages of the proceedings look
like a problem in arithmetic, for the reason that after the name of
each brother mentioned is given the number of the lodge to which he
belonged.

Masonic Correspondence 167

All lodges of the state were represented with the exception of twenty.
After a vote of thanks to the order of the Eastern Star, for the patriotic
decorations which adorned the place of meeting, the American flag was
brought into the lodge room as the assembled brethren sang the Star
Spangled Banner. Several patriotic addresses were delivered, and the grand
lodge formally welcomed by the mayor of the city of Tacoma.

Another feature in the preliminary exercises occurred when the grand
marshal arranged at the altar all members of the fraternity who were
present and wearing the uniform of the army and navy. The soldier
Masons were given the grand honors of the fraternity. The preliminary
incidentals to the meeting consumed the entire forenoon and it was 2
0 'clock in the afternoon before the grand master, George Lawler, had an
opportunity to present his annual message.

He commends the loyal sj^irit of the Masons of Spokane who had
expected to entertain the grand lodge, and who stepi^ed aside in favor
of Tacoma in order that the grand lodge might save $2500 in expenses,
the same to be invested in Liberty bonds. Three dispensations were issued
for the formation of new loilges. The grand master found it necessary
to refuse a petition for permission to form an army lodge. He reports
the Masonic Home as settling down to a steady gait. He recommends
that each lodge be required to pay into the home fund a minimum of one
dollar per month and such maximum as the Board of Trustees may deem
reasonable for each member they have domiciled in the home. During
the year the monitor was revised and the new edition published. He calls
attention to the arduous duties of the grand secretary aiul recommends
that the grand lodge force him to accept a higher salary and to take a
vacation each year.

He refused to allow one lodge to move its place of meeting to an Odd
Fellows' hall because the door contained wickets for peep-holes. He
declined to allow a lodge to attend church services in Masonic clothing.
He also prohibited the use of a Masonic float in a Red Cross parade.
His list of dispensations issued is moderate and is well offset by those
which he denied. He laid the corner-stone of a federal building, also of
a court house, during the year. He made one decision, permitting men
in military service to petition the lodge nearest their present Masonic
residence within the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of Washington. He
recommended that the law be changed so that a man shall not lose his
Masonic residence in one place until he shall have opportunity to estab-
lish it in another, he also recommended concurrent jurisdiction among
lodges from five to ten miles apart. He thinks that the grand master
could be given some latitude in the matter of shortening the time be-
tween the conferring of degrees under circumstances which appear worthy
of consideration.

168 Appendix — Part I

The grand master believes in Masouic education. What he says ia
reproduced because it is worth while —

I am convinced that the best part of Masonry is being neg-
lected; that the "work" of conferring degrees occupies the
time and thoughts of the lodges and brethren to the exclusion
of the "meat" of our institution. We are busy men as well
as busy Masons. We have neither the time nor the inclination
to dig into the gold mine of our treasure-house; to uncover
the hidden meaning of Masonry. We are guided as a people
by the headlines of the newspapers, the portraits in the maga-
zines, and the moving pictures of the new theatre. Arrest our
attention, and we will investigate and absorb any fact worth
using.

It should in some way be so planned that the individuals who
compose our lodges should be interested in the real purpose of the
fraternity; should have the fact so forcibly brought to their at-
tention that it could never be lost sight of, that Masonry is much
more than a ritualistic formula, that its formal lectures "are but
hints to i5ut them on the track of discovering" a philosophy of
living that will be of priceless value to each of them as an in-
dividual Mason.

To this end I recommend that a ' ' board of education ' ' — to
be composed of the grand master, the grand historian and the
Committee on Correspondence — he formed to devise and put into
execution some plan whereby the beauties of Masonry, as well
as its esoteric side, may be taught to every lodge in our juris-
diction; and that the sum of $1,000.00 be appropriated for that
purpose for the coming Masonic year.

He cautions the craft against itinerant lecturers, and says —

It is a comparatively easy matter for any one to compose a
lecture, or several of them, on symbolism, that most ethereal and
impractical chatter that catches the popular ear and gives to the
mind nothing but husks. The test of a lecture or talk should be
that it develops a helpful, practical, livable enthusiasm for Ma-
sonry, and suggests ideas that will enable us to help others, as
well as ourselves, to live better and happier lives. Beware of
the itinerant lecturer.

The grand master must have listened to some of the bunk that is
being handed out by those traveling lecturers who draw upon their imag-
inations rather than the historical data available.

During the year the grand master curtailed as much as possible the
efforts of the grand lecturer in order to save expense. French Masonry
comes in for a severe grueling on the part of the grand master. Two
letters are printed from soldier boys giving their view of French Masonry
as they observed it first hand. The conclusions on this subject are as fol-
lows—

It is most opportune at this time for this grand lodge to assert

in unmistakable terms that autocracy is no part of Masonry. Any

Masonic Correspondence 169

organization that rejects the principles of democracy in its govern-
ment has no right to call itself Masonic; nor would an Elks'
lodge, composed entirely of men who had received the Degree
of Master Mason, be entitled to the name Masonic. The mere
fact that the Grand Orient of France or the Mother Supreme
Council of the Scottish Eite claims to be Masonic, does not
make either of them so. By their fruits shall they be judged.
Democracy is an immovable landmark of Masonry.

The freedom and development of the individual — his equal
opportunity with other men, all children of one Father — is the
touchstone of Masonry.

Any organization that places some men above their fellows —
by titles, by degrees, by honors which may not be obtained by
another except through the favor of individuals — is not Masonic,
but is autocratic; and it breeds that detestable spirit which de-
velops a Kaiser — the synonym of all that is evil and ghastly,
horrible and of the devil.

Eeference is made to the Masonic Ambulance Corps of California
made up entirely of Masons who volunteered their services in the inter-
ests of the war. Horace W. Tyler, grand secretary, makes a report complete
in detail. He states that the card index system being installed is well
on the way to completion. Of the 222 lodges in the state 38 show a
loss in membership, while the remainder show a net gain of 1432.
The report of the grand treasurer shows the grand lodge to be in an
excellent condition financially and well able to keep within its income.
TTie invested funds of the grand lodge amount to $140,000.00.

The question of recognizing the Grand Lodge of France was pre-
sented by Ealph C. McAlister, foreign correspondent, and the subject
went into the hands of a special committee who will present their findings
next year. The grand lecturer reports little demand for his services during
the year. He expresses the thought, however, that the labors of this
officer should not be confined exclusively to the instruction in the ritual
Init that history, symbolism, good citizenship, true Americanism may well
come within the scope of his endeavor.

From the report of a special committee it is apparent that the grand
lodge has come into possession of a substantial legacy amounting to
$187,460. The net income is estimated at $7,000. The grand orator, J.
Huglio Tatsch, delivers an excellent oration largely historical in character.
The report of the Masonic Home Board shows a total of 37 in that
institution, who were maintained at an annual per capita expense of
$400. The grand lodge waived grand lodge dues and Masonic home
fees on all members who had been relieved from the payment of dues on
account of the war. The grand secretary's salary was fixed at $2,400.00
and he was given $300 with which to take a month's vacation. He was
also given an assistant grand secretary at a salary of $1800 per year.

170 Appendix — Part I

There must have been some business men on the Finance Committee of
the grand lodge and they are to be commended, for avoiding the usual
Masonic skin-tiint methods which are sometimes manifested toward the
clerical end of grand lodge work. The report of the Committee on
Jurisprudence made just before the close of the grand lodge concurs
in most everything the grand master did. However, they did not like
the idea of refusing a lodge permission to attend church although granting
the right of the grand master to refuse such permission. They based
their conclusions upon the fact that from time immemorial it has been
the custom of the fraternity to attend services of this character. The
grand lodge did not take with favor to the district deputy grand master
system, believing that the end desired might be arrived at in a simpler
and more efficient manner.

The installation of officers closed the session. The report on foreign
correspondence is written by Ralph C. McAllister. Illinois is given three
and a half pages of review. Liberal quotations are taken from the address
of Grand Master Ralph H. Wheeler. The reviewer likes the code-quiz
but doesn 't like an arbitrary flag service. While agreeing that such a
service is desirable he thinks that it ought to be made permissible and
lodges requested to practice it, but that under no circumstances should
the established form of opening and closing a Masonic lodge be en-
croached upon.

Brother McAllister can't understand why Masons want to smoke
in lodge and why by-laws prohibiting such action are necessary as has
been heretofore said in these pages the matter of smoking in lodge is
purely one of training and culture.

WESTERN AUSTRALIA, A. F. & A. M.

1918

It is rather difficult to review the proceedings of this grand lodge and
secure continuity of thought for the reason that it holds quarterly meetings
and its proceedings come to us in four divisions. The first quarterly
meeting was held on Thursday, July 26, 1917.

The pro grand master, the Most Reverend C. O. L. Riley, D. D., arch-
bishop of Perth, made an address to the grand lodge in which he referred
to his services on the war fronts of Europe. He reports eighteen official

Masonic Correspondence 171

visitations, the consecration of one new lodge, and the issuance of twenty
dispensations.

Eeference is made to the bi-centcnary of the Grand Lodge of England
and some very interesting historical data presented. The Board of Gen-
eral Purposes make a lengthy report covering the many matters that pass
thru their hands. This board seems to exercise a general supervision over
the craft, and to perform such duties as appear to be for the best in-
terest of the fraternity.

The second quarterly meeting was held on Thursday, October 25, 1917.
The grand master in his opening address reports the completion of a
railroad connecting Western Australia with the rest of the continent
and expresses the hope that there may be greater inter-conmiunications
between the Masons of this part of the world. The grand master made
a decision on the subject of physical qualifications as follows —

That a candidate is eligible to initiation though not perfect in
his limbs, who is able to comply with and go through the cere-
monies required in the various degrees.

This decision received the recommendation of the Board of General
Purposes. The grand master reports sending to each soldier in the war
service a Christmas greeting personally signed by himself. The grand
lodge also sent comfort kits and various supplies to the members of the
craft serving in the overseas contingent. Among these were 50,000 cig-
arettes. And now, that John Barleycorn has been safely interred, it is
proposed that the next oljscquics shall be that of Prince Nicotine. After-
while we will all have little wings and flit about so good, that even if we
want to get into devilment, we won 't know where to go to find it.

The Board of General Purposes make one of their customary reports
but announce nothing out of the ordinary.

Tlie third quarterly communication was held on Thursday, January
24, 1918. From the proceedings there appears to have been a liberal
attendance. The grand master delivered his annual address and reported
great success in the matter of raising funds for the comfort kits of
soldiers. From the report, the idea is gained that the Grand Lodge of
Western Australia is quite liberal in the matter of Masonic charity, for
it appears that a sum of money was easily raised for the care of widows
and orphans of deceased Master Masons, as well as a substantial fund
for the care of the aged and infirm.

The Board of General Purposes reported that it had received a
request from the Grand Lodge of France for an exchange of fraternal
relations. It was pointed out that the Grand Lodge of Western Aus-
tralia having already recognized the National Grand Lodge of France, and

172 Appendix — Part I

having acknowledged it as the Sovereign Masonic body, it could not very
Avell recognize any other, so called grand lodge. The hope was expressed,
however, that the Masons of France make an effort to conciliate their
differences and bring themselves into harmony with Anglo-Saxon Free-
masonry,

The fourth annual meeting was held on Thursday, the 24th day of
April, 1918. This must have been the most important meeting of the
year for the attendance was unusually large. The grand master makes
a customary report. The grand lodge, certainly did its full share in
looking after the comfort of the soldiers abroad, judging from the sub-
stantial donations in the way of food and tobacco sent overseas. The
grand master states the financial condition of the grand lodge, to be most
excellent, the income exceeding the disbursements by nearly $10,000. A
net increase in membership of 146 is reported, the largest lodge had a
membership of 101.

It appears that among our brethren of Western Australia the idea
of a title holds fast in the mind, for the grand master conferred a large
number of honorary titles upon brothers, who had faithfully served the
craft. In the report of the Board of General Purposes a paragraph was
found concerning lodges creating extra offices, and investing the brother's
holding them with aprons and jewels, this the board ruled as improper.

The system of district inspection is thorough and efficient. The re-
port shows that the lodges are visited, inspected, and properly checked up.
The grand lodge paused long enough to pay a tribute of respect to the
soldiers who had died in overseas service. Their names were called,
while the brothers stood to order after which the grand organist played
the Dead March from Saul. The installation of officers performed in true
English style was the closing feature, after which the grand master was
presented with the customary jewel.

The report on foreign correspondence is quite complete. Illinois re-
ceives its full share of attention. The reviewer says that the proceedings
of the Grand Lodge of Illinois are full of interesting and instructive
matter for those who are watching the progress of Freemasonry through-
out the world. The report of Grand Master Wheeler is well analyzed and
for the most part receives the approval of the reviewer. He expresses sur-
prise, however, that the Grand Lodge of Illinois, does not exempt its
soldier members from the payment of dues. The reviewer enters into
some controversy with Charles H. Martin over statements made in his
report, however, they are not of sufficient importance to be reproduced
here.

WEST VIRGINIA, A. F. & A. M.

1918

The Grand Lodge of West Virginia can boast of 54 years of active
service in the interests of Freemasonry. TTie annual communication was
held in the city of Wheeling, on Wednesday, the 13th day of November,
1918. Owing to the quarantine raised by the State Board of Health
on account of the epidemic of Spanish influenza, the grand lodge was
obliged to call off until the evening of December 11, when it reconvened
for the transaction of business. The grand lodge was enabled to ex-
pedite its labors by holding night sessions, even if it did keep some
of the boys away from the movies and the vaudeville shows.

The annual address of Charles S. Angel is a long one, covering forty-
six pages. Much is said in his opening concerning the war and the
part which the Masons of West Virgihia were taking in the great strife.
From the report of the grand master, it is learned that the grand lodge
makes a business of assisting worthy young men to receive an educa-
tion, for it is recorded that a past grand master requested the sum of
$200 to assist his son in continuing his studies at the U. S. Naval Pre-
paratory School, Annapolis, Maryland. The loan was approved and the
money forwarded.

Here is a suggestion for all grand lodges to make themselves of prac-
tical use in the world. Why shouldn 't there be created a fund for the
education of worthy sons of indigent members of the craft? The writer
is disposed to look with much favor upon the educational plan as adopted
by our brethren of W. V., realizing fully that in espousing this move-
ment he may be invoking the condemnation of those Masonic moss backs
who believe that there is nothing about the fraternity that is progres-
sive or even practical. The list of dispensations reported by the grand
master is an extremely long one. He refused some as might be expected
from the long iist given. The degrees conferred by courtesy as recorded
by the grand master cover 14 pages. There must have been a war camp
somewhere in the confines of the state of West Virginia. The grand master
reported one case of invasion of jurisdiction. A West Virginia soldier
in the medical reserve corps went to the state of New York, petitioned a
lodge at Oswego and received the degrees.

TTie grand master took this subject up with the grand master of
New York and learned that that state does not recognize jurisdiction
over soldiers and sailors and therefore considered that it had a perfect
right to take the petition and elect the applicant.

174 Appendix — Part I

This is another evidence of the justness of the demand for Masonic
co-ordination, and the establishment of nniversal rules not only on the ques-
tion of jurisdiction but on other matters which vitally affect the welfare and
best interests of the fraternity. The grand master rejiorts that he granted
permission to one lodge permitting them to turn their banquet ha.ll over to
the Eed Cross for the purpose of raising funds for war purposes. Another
lodge was allowed to submit their lodge room to the Jewish people of the
community for religious services during a brief period. The corner-stone
of two high school buildings and the dedication of one Masonic temple
were the only ceremonial sessions during the year. Twenty-four decisions
are reported to the grand master. Many of them appeared to be merely
answers relating to interpretation of existing laws and hardly rise to
the dignity of decisions. The grand treasurer received $16,156.00 and
paid out $14,077. The educational fund is reported as having a balance
to its credit of $380. The grand secretary presents his report in detailed
form and it is purely financial in character. The grand lecturer presents
a brief report to which is appended the letters of the deputy grand lec-
turers. Most of these are formal and there is little idea to be gained
from them as to what these officials did and of how much use they were
to the grand lodge. The Committee on Correspondence to which bad been
referred the question of recognizing the Grand Lodge of France ask for
more time. The pay of representatives was fixed at eight cents per mile
and $3.50 per day. It appears that the grand lodge is looking for a site
for a Masonic home, for a committee make a comprehensive report in
which numerous places are analyzed and priced. Parkersburg was the
choice of the grand lodge and 60 acres at a cost of $33,000 was ordered
purchased. The Committee on Work brought in a report commending the
grand master for enforcing the law concerning the qualifications of mas-
ters elect of subordinate lodges relating to their ability to perform the
ritualistic work prior to installation.

The election of officers and presentation of the apron and jewel
closed the session. The last act of the grand lodge was a vote of
thanks to Nathan B. Scott for a donation of 210 shares of stock in a
Washington bank, book value $130 per share. This contribution will be
immediately available for use in the construction of the Masonic home.
George W. Atkinson writes the correspondence re^jort, Illinois receives just
consideration, liberal quotations are taken from the address of Grand
Master Wheeler and no fault found with them. Concerning Masonic clubs
Brother Atkinson expresses the opinion that it would be better if they
were cut out altogether as they weaken the influence of the lodge for
good. He likes Brother Wheeler's "Pronuncia mento" against cipher-
rituals, but thinks it would have been better if he had cut the dog's

Masonic Correspondence 175

tail oft' close behind the ears, for the reason that such a heresy shouUl
not be gently dealt with.

WYOMING, A. F. & A. M.

1918

Wednesday morning, September 11, the grand lodge of Wyoming,
convened its forty-fourth annual communication in the city of Laramie.
Immediately following the opening ceremony, the American flag was brought
in and displayed in the East. The grand lodge was welcomed by the
master of Laramie Lodge. Affcer the response to the address of wel-
come, the Committee on Credentials made a report showing who was present.
Brother T. Blake Kennedy, grand master, read his report concerning the
transactions of his office during the year past. He states the net increase
in membership to have been four hundred, and comments on the intei'est
being taken in the fraternity by the young men of the state. He gives
a detailed list of the dead of his own jurisdiction and enumerates the
past grand masters of other grand jurisdictions who died during the year.
He granted the usual number of dispensations to assist soldiers in receiving
the degrees with the least possible inconvenience, and recommended to the
grand lodge that the dispensation fees contributed for these purposes be
returned to the lodges which paid them. The grand master found time
to visit several of the lodges of this jurisdiction and would have visited
many more lodges had not the duties of his office kept him at his desk.
Under the head of decisions, he submits seventeen answers to questions.
He was asked for a dispensation permitting a certain number of Masons
residing at a point where there was no Masonic lodge to hold a schoo.!
of instruction. He decided, however, that there was nothing in the law
to prohibit these Masons from meeting and running over the work if they
so desire. He was asked for a dispensation to confer the degrees on

176 Appendix — Part I

Sunday and ruled that while there was nothing in the laws of the state
prohibiting a lodge from working on Sunday, yet he considered such pro-
cedure as contrary to the landmarks and refused to issue a dispensation.
He recommends a modification in the law which requires a candidate to re-
ceive the first degree in the lodge in which he is ejected. The uniform
Masonic emblem was referred by the grand master to the grand lodge for
its consideration.

Out of the $200 allowed the grand master for his expenses during
the year he was enabled to refund $22.05 to the grand lodge. The grand
secretary gives the list of members at 4,087 an increase of 346 for the
year. The grand treasurer acknowledges total receipts of $7,112 and
expenditures of $4,102. The grand lodge is creating a Masonic Home fund
and now has $4,480 on hand. Out of this fund, worthy and deserving
cases are being given assistance. A resolution was passed providing that
the Committee on Foreign Correspondence shall gather all available data
appertaining to the Grand Orient and Grand Lodge of France and report
next year. The pay roll is apparently looked after in Wj'omiug by the
Finance Committee for the reason that in their report they recommend the
amount to be paid to each representative in attendance. Kepresentatives
draw actual expenses. The grand lodge adopted a report from the Com-
mittee on Jurisprudence permitting Masons from the state of Wyoming
to visit and affiJiate with members of French lodges. The grand lodge
also remitted the per capita tax on members of lodges engaged in wat
service.

The idea of a universal Masonic emblem seemed to find favor with
the grand lodge for a special committee l:)rought in a report approving
the idea and recommending its adoption. The salary of the grand secre-
tary was fixed at $900 per year. The election of officers, the presentation
of the jewel ended the session. The report on foreign correspondence is
prepared by Joseph Lowndes, grand secretary. He devotes two pages to
the consideration of the transactions of the Grand Lodge of Hlinois. He
enumerates briefly the principal i)oints in tlie address of Grand Master

ADDRESS OF E. W. ROSCOE POUND.
Before Grand Lodge of Massachusetts.

A PREFACE TO MASONIC SYMBOLISM.

It is not so long ago that a learned man could take all knowledge for
his province. In the last quarter of the eighteenth century it seemed
to Preston entirely feasible to sum up all human learning and expound
its main principles to the ordinary hearer in three lectures. At the
end of that century men believed that a learned jurist by sheer reason-
ing might work out by himself a complete code to govern all men in
all places in all times. Even later compendia of universal knowledge
were projected seriously. In the nineteenth century men's attitude
changed completely. Reaction from this boundless faith in the intellect,
born of the Renaissance, led to an era of separate sciences, of minute
subdivision of learning, of distinct fields of knowledge intensively cul-
tivated by individual scholars. In place of the general schemes of knowl-
edge, we got narrowly limited, water-tight compartment sciences, each
self-sufficient, each content to rest on its own basis, and each assured of
finding within itself a critique of itself.

All learning in the last century suffered from the self-imposed nar-
rowness of this water-tight compartment conception. But Masonic learn-
ing suffered peculiarly. For modern Masonic learning had its inception
in the eighteenth century and had still to go through some preliminary
stages of development when it found itself cut off from learning at large
and divided into separate, self-sufficient compartments. Thus we got
a Masonic history without general historical method, a Masonic phi-
losophy divorced from the general current of human thought, and a Ma-
sonic symbolism ignorant of psychology. Nowhere is the process of
breaking down compartments and letting in air and light from the out-
side, a process that is going on rapidly on every side — nowhere is this
more needed than in Masonic learning. Gould long ago did this work
thoroughly for Masonic history. But it is still to be done for Masonic
symbolism. We must view this subject for a season as but a phase of
a general science of symbols; we must lay its foundation not only in
Masonic history, nor solely in the history of rites and mysteries, but in
psychology as well.

Symbols are visible objects which apart from their own immediate
and proper significance, represent to the mind something which is not
shown but is realized by association with it; some ideal content which
the symbols suggest, but cannot embody. They are said to be of two
sorts, natural symbols and conventional symbols. In the former phrase

XV

XVI

"natural" is used in tlie sense of rational and refers to those symbols
whick appeal to natural reason and so achieve their purpose with the
unlearned. Conventional symbols, on the other hand, have their basis
in tradition and appeal only to those who know. The former may or
may not be new. At any rate, they rest on analogies that are associated
with the ideas of today, as, for example, when light is taken as a sym-
bol for knowledge or truth, black for mourning, and so on. But it will
be perceived that often in such cases we have simply a strong tradi-
tional association without any necessary association for all men in
the absence of tradition. In consequence, well-known symbols may eas-
ily be borrowed and put to new uses, as many assert happened in the
case of more than one pagan symbol taken over by the early church.
Thus there is an easy transition from one type of symbol to the other.
Traditional or conventional symbols rest on habitual rather than ra-
tional association with the subjects they suggest. In origin, no doubt,
they were natural symbols. But after the circumstances that determined
their choice have passed away, constant association with the object
symbolized, kept alive by tradition, enables them still to function as
symbols. A great many Masonic symbols are of this character, as, for
example, the shape of the lodge, symbolizing the world, or the triads,
of which Masonry in all rites is so full, symbolizing perfection.

Natural symbols require little or no study or exposition. But as
the analogies upon which traditional or conventional symbols proceed
have usually ceased to appeal to us, as the ideas that suggested them
have been forgotten and sometimes their applications have been wholly
lost, exposition of them, investigation of their history, and attempts
to reconstruct their applications afford a tempting field for study. The
Masonic student is attracted to them specially because symbols are among
the most important of our traditions. Our ceremonies themselves are
largely allegorical or symbolic and employ symbols at every stage and
on every hand. To make the most of these symbols they must be studied.
Accordingly, apart from its interest as a pure science, the study of
symbols has a practical side for the Mason and symbolism has been
recognized from the beginning as one of the chief departments of Ma-
sonic scholarship.

Psychologists have generally rested symbolism upon association.
Some, however, have sought a more intimate connection. Thus Lotze
says of symbols in art, "We live over again in the object the motion
to produce it." Symbols are obviously associated with the things sym-
bolized. But many have felt that there is a sympathy involved that is
not true of ordinary associations. It has been said that there is "an
investiture of the object with the observer's own idea and feeling in
a more intimate manner than is implied by the term association." This

XVII

controversy as to the psychological basis of symbolism has gone on
chiefly in connection with aesthetics and the conclusions reached are not
very applicable to Masonic symbolism. Unhappily no Masonic student
of symbolism has taken up this fundamental question.

Another branch of learning which has been much concerned with
symbols is logic. Here the theory of symbols has been treated fully,
especially in connection with the nature of knowledge. Thus Leibnitz
distinguished between intuitive and symbolical knowledge. The word
"intuitive," so used, is deceptive. Leibnitz took it in its original,
etymological meaning, in which it refers to what we know by looking
on it or by seeing. Accordingly he uses the j^hrase to include all knowl-
edge which we gain directly through the senses or by immediate com-
munication to the mind. Symbolical knowledge, on the other hand, is
that which we cannot gain directly through the senses, which, therefore,
must be represented to us. Thus writers on logic remind us that we
may learn by the direct evidence of our senses what a square or a
hexagon is, but we cannot expect to learn in this way what a chiliagon
or figure of one thousand sides is. If one doubts this, let him attempt
by looking at them to tell the difference between a figure of one thousand
sides and one of a thousand and one sides. Such conceptions can be
known to us only symbolically. And this is true of all large numbers
also, for the velocity of light (186,000 miles per second) or the distance
of the sun (91,000,000 miles) are beyond reach of our imaginations.
So we speak of infinity, of zero, of nothing. But there is nothing here
that may be perceived through the senses; nor can one realize in the
mind, such conceptions as "the unthinkable," "the inconceivable,"
the "impossible," about which we speak continually. Such things are
only to be treated symbolically.

Symbols, then, enable us to know what we cannot know directly
through the senses and enable us to keep in mind or to keep before the
mind what is not and cannot be directly and immediately represented
to it. Hence symbols play a great part in all that we do. Art is largely
symbolic, endeavoring to present to us through symbols what we can-
not apprehend directly. Eeligion uses symbols in the same way "as
sensuous emblems of spiritual acts and objects." Ritual is symbolic,
and so are even the sacraments in one aspect of their significance. In
this aspect religion often makes use of art. For as the objects of
religion are unseen and intangible, there is obvious need of "helping
the imagination by means of sensuous objects which may serve as fit-
ting materializations of the spiritual." Even the architecture of
churches is symbolic. The building is not merely adapted to certain
functions. Even more, the very form of the building seeks to express
the spiritual import of those functions.

XVIII

Symbols are no less important in practical affairs. Large parts of
mathematics are symbolic. Chemistry is full of symbols. Even in
biology we are coming to think that genus and species are symbols by
which we are able to represent knowledge of types, none too clearly de-
fined, in a universe of infinitely diverse individual creatures.

No less a role is played by symbols in the social sciences. In prim-
itive law symbols are used on every side, since primitive man has no
general ideas and the abstractions of developed legal science are beyond
him. He cannot conceive of litigation over an abstraction called a title,
so in the beginnings of Eoman law a bit of turf from the land in dis-
pute was brought in before the magistrate and the parties went through
the form of a fight for the possession of it, in which the magistrate
intervened. If a flock of sheep was in dispute, a bit of wool from the
flock was the subject of the simulated fight, and so on. Again, the
Eoman used the spear as a symbol of title to property, and Tacitus tells
us of a like symbol among the ancient Germans. All Masons know the
Jewish symbol in case of sale and redemption. In our own law the
formal ceremony of conveying land by livery of seisin was highly sym-
bolic, and we still speak of symbolic possession where one makes de-
livery in case of gift, for example, by delivering the key by means of
which the donee may obtain actual control.

Likewise in government symbols are made use of to keep before
men's minds the idea of sovereignty, to enable them to comprehend th(3
abstraction called the State, to hold up before them some visible sign
of authority. The king is a symbol. His image, his monogram, his
superscription stand for the State to many who can keep before their
minds the ownership and the rights of George and the duties due to
Alfonso or Victor Emmanuel when the State as an abstraction would
appeal to them but dimly. In the same way we speak of loyalty to the
flag, love of the flag, and the like, thinking and speaking of the visible
symbol rather than the invisible and intangible things for which the
symbol stands. So also we speak of Uncle Sam or John Bull as symbols
for the abstractions of the American or the English people. Sociology
devotes much consideration to ceremonial institutions as means of social
control. But these are symbolic. Homage, coronation, investiture, in-
auguration, are outward signs of something which is not tangible or
visible. Says Professor Eoss: "The picturesque, dramatic, or sensational
will serve to impress an event upon the memory; but the ceremony that
modifies the feelings must be full of meaning. It dwells on what would
be overlooked, reminds of that significance that would be forgotten, and
so reveals the full significance of what is being done."

Such, then, are the uses of symbols. They enable us to reason ab-
stractly; to extend our knowledge far beyond what we can know im-

XIX

mediately and directly through the senses; to hold before us through
the aid of a visible sign things invisible and intangible which are of the
highest import in our daily life. They enable government to keep men
conscious of its reality. They enable society to exert a necessary control
by keeping before men in outward forms and ceremonies the abstract
principles by which they must be governed in a life measured by reason.

On the other hand, symbols are liable to abuse, and some of these
abuses have crept into Masonic symbolism. The chief abuse is that
symbols readily lead the careless to confuse the symbol with the thing
symbolized, to think that there is some real bond between them other
than association in the mind of the observer. This may easily run into
nominalism; it may give rise to a belief that realities are wrapped up
in names, that if one knows the name of anything, he knows the thing
itself, and that in reasoning about names he is reasoning about things.
"There is no worse habit for a student or reader to acquire," says Wil-
liam James, "than that of accepting words instead of a knowledge of
things." Look at our Fellow Craft lecture and note how it is full of
definitions. We have had to learn in other connections, too, that one
has by no means mastered a thing simply because he is able to repeat
an abstract definition of it.

Another abuse of symbolism is to be seen in the idea that a symbol
not merely helps to comprehend a thing but thereby gives us control over
it. We see this in its crudest form in witchcraft, when the warlock
makes a wax figure of his victim and puts the latter to the torture of
rheumatism by sticking the figure full of needles. We see it in its high-
est form in metaphysics. Thus, William James says: "Metaphysics has
usually followed a very primitive kind of quest. You know how men
have always hankered after unlawful magic and you know what a great
part in magic words have always played. If you have his name . . .
you can control the spirit or whatever the power may be. . • . ^o the
universe has always appeared to the natural mind as a kind of enigma
of which the key must be sought in the shape of some illuminating or
power-bringing .vord or name. That word names the universe's princijilo,
and to possess it is after a fashion to possess the universe itself. . . .
Matter, Reason, the Absolute, Energy, are so many solving names. You
can rest when you have them. You are at the end of your metaphysical
quest." Many study symbolism in the same way, consciously or sub-
consciously, as if by penetrating into the original meaning of symbols,
as disclosed by their history, or the true meaning of them as disclosed
by logical or mystical principles of symbolism, they could acquire some
sort of control of realities, some sort of power over the universe.

With this prelude as to symbols generally, a preface to Masonic
symbolism may proceed to the primitive uses of symbols and next to the

XX

philosophical use of symbols, thus ijaving the way for a treatment of the
Masonic use of symbols as a resultant or product.

Primitive society resorts to symbols for four purposes: (1) To con-
vey messages, (2) to give instruction, (3) as a means of social control,
and (4) to obtain control over nature. Before alphabets and writing
have evolved men make use of ideographs and hieroglyphics, which some-
times attain their ends by picturing the very thing to be suggested to
the beholder, but often appeal to the latter symbolically. Thus the
Chinese ideograph for what we should call "a row" is a conventionalized
picture of two women under one roof. For symbolism seems to play a
much larger role in human psychology than we had perceived, A great
part of what we do subconsciously is symbolic. Indeed psychologists
believe that our dreams are largely symbolic. The undeveloped primitive
mind, incapable of abstract reasoning, proceeds subconsciously by means
of symbols.

Primitive teaching proceeds wholly by imitation and by symbols.
What is not done by simple imitation of the master, is done by imparting
the symbol and cx})laining it. Thus the primitive tribe inducts the boy
into manhood by symbolic ceremonies to teach him that the boy is no
more and that a man with a man's duties and a man's responsibilities
has arisen in his place. Even more the primitive secret societies that
grew out of these ceremonies employ symbolic dress and symbolic im-
plements. One phase of this use of symbols has attracted much attention
from Masonic scholars. It has been asserted that the ancients used
symbols at the same time to teach the initiated and to conceal from the
uninitiated. Albert Pike dwells much upon this aspect of ancient sym-
bolism. No doubt there are such cases in primitive rites. But it is hard
to be sure that we have any authentic cases since we are in no very
good position to judge. It is seldom possible to be sure how such sym-
bols were meant to be interpreted. There are, however, clear cases in
later symbolism, and eighteenth-century French Masonry furnishes a
notable example in its teaching of liberty of thought under the symbol
of a contest for liberty of passage — a symbol known to one of our rites
today. It is not unlikely that this device is as old as symbolism.

The chief use of symbols in primitive society is as a means of social
control. Primitive man forgets authority unless its visible sign is always
before him. He forgets his duty unless the duty is visibly represented
to him. Law and order as abstractions have no hold on him. They must
be kept before his mind by symbols. The gods must be represented to
his eyes by idols or statues or he cannot regard them. In short, morals,
religion, and government get and keep their hold upon him largely
through symbols. Hence symbolism is highly developed among primitive

XXI

peoples and primitive secret societies have independently more than one
symbol of which we speak and think as Masonic only.

Developing confidence from these notable achievements by means of
symbols, primitive man becomes ambitious of greater things and seeks
to control external nature in the same way. This attempt to control
the thing symbolized through the symbol gives us, along with magic, the
crude beginnings of metaphysics and the crude beginnings of medicine.
In the one case the quest is for a single simple principle of nature,
wrapped up in some symbol, possession whereof will enable the possessor
to direct natural forces; in the other there is a quest for the fundamental
principle of disease in general or of some particular disease, which again
is to be wrapped up in some symbol whereby the disease may be con-
trolled. To primitive man the occult was a serious practical business.
He looked upon it as we look upon physics or upon the study of elec-
tricity. It was a means whereby nature might be harnessed to man 's
use. We make a great mistake today when we attribute any more pro-
found significance to primitive symbols of this type.

Passing to symbolism in philosophy, we may begin with the Pytha-
goreans. For even if we may not for other than ritualistic purposes refer
to him as "our ancient friend and brother," Masons must always feel
a kinship to Pythagoras because he called symbolism to the aid of cos-
mology. Prior to Socrates the problem of philosophy was to lay hold
upon the original ground or basis of things which outlasts all change;
to discover how this original basis changes into the particular things
which we see about us, and how it changes these things back into itself.
The Milesians sought to find this original basis of the universe in some
element. The Atomists sought it in primordial indivisible constituents
of matter. The Eleaties sought it in a unity in nature. Heraclitus
thought he had found it in a perpetual but rhythmical flux or change.
Attacking the same problem, the Pythagoreans conceived that this per-
manent being which men were seeking was to be found in numbers. They
held that in contrast with the changing things of experience, numbers,
as regards their content, possess a validity independent of time; that
they are eternal, without beginning, imperishable, unchangeable, immov-
able. Thus, so they reasoned, numbers possess the unity and permanence
sought by the Eleaties and the rhythmical order insisted on by Hera-
clitus. They found the abiding essence of the universe in mathematical
relations, particularly in numbers, and as their solution was more abstract
than that of the Milesians, more possible to represent to the imagination
than that of the Eleaties, and far clearer than that of Heraclitus, natu-
rally it had much influence.

But the Pythagorean solution of the problem of cosmology readily
went into symbolism. For they believed that in the antithesis between

XXII

the limited and the unlimited they recognized the antithesis between the
odd and the even in numbers, and they identified this antithesis with
that between the perfect and the imperfect, the good and the bad. They
put over against the limited, the odd, the perfect, and the good; the
antithesis of the limitless, the even, the imperfect, and the bad. Yet
they conceived that both principles were united in the number one, which
had the value both of an even and of an odd number, so that in the uni-
verse as a whole these antitheses were adjusted to form a harmony. In
other words, they conceived of the universe as a harmony of numbers,
and with this idea they exerted themselves to make an order of things
corresponding to the system of numbers by assigning the fundamental
conceptions in every department of knowledge to various numbers and
on the other hand by assigning to every individual number, especially
to those from one to ten, determining significance in the various spheres
of reality. As Windelband says: "The fantastic nature of the symbolic
interpretation into which they fell in doing this must . . . not cause
us to overlook the fact that the attempt was made thereby to recognize
an abiding order of things which could be grasped and expressed in con-
ceptions and to find the ultimate ground of this order in mathematical
conceptions." In a phrase, the Pythagoreans attempted to comprehend
and represent the universe by means of mathematical symbols. Thus
they have a real place in the history of human thought. But today we
have better ways of trying to comprehend and represent the universe.
We do little honor to the Pythagoreans when we solemnly retail the letter
of their speculations as if they had some intrinsic validity, when their
true significance lies in their attitude toward and their spirit of approach
to a great philosophical problem. Let us approach the modern problem
of philosophy with the same determination to achieve a reasoned result
whereby permanence and stability may be assured, rather than continue
to repeat the details of their speculations as to the exact numerical
equivalent of this or that. Otherwise symbols become our masters rather
than our servants.

Thus far the task of philosophy has been to comprehend external
nature and to represent it. After Socrates the interest in philosophj^
turned from the outside of man to the inside, and when, following the
conquests of Alexander the Great, in the period of decadence after the
great age of Greek intellectual activity, the Helenistic culture spread over
the civilized world, the revived symbolism of the Neo-Platonists was a
higher symbolism, for it attempted to symbolize the spiritual. They
thought of the world immediately about us as chiefly significant in point-
ing the way to a higher world. Its value was not in what it was but
in what it revealed. It was the sign and symbol of a higher being. Thus
their doctrine, instead of seeking symbols of the actual world of sense.

XXIII

treated that world as having a symbolic character. Presently there came
a succession of debasements of this philosophy in the writings of the
Hellenizing Theosophists, the mass of writings that go by the name of
Hermes Trismegistus, the Gnostics, and later the Cabbala. Albert Pike
has studied these attentively and has revived much of their elaborate
symbolism. But this symbolism is quite void of meaning for us if we
are ignorant of its philosophical pedigree, and when wc are able to com-
prehend it we can but see that there are better ways to represent the
more critical metaphysical knowledge of the modern world.

With the revival of learning that ushered in the world of today there
came presently a revival of symbolism in philosophical thought. The
Middle Ages were wholly dominated by Aristotle, whose powerful in-
tellect, perhaps "the most powerful ever possessed by any man," was
yet limited to the exterior of things and unable to reach beneath to the
hidden forces by which things are moved. "It was natural," says Benn,
"that one who ranged with such consummate mastery over the whole
world of apparent reality, should believe in no other reality. . . . The
visible order of nature was present to his imagination in such precise
determination and fulness of detail that it resisted any attempt he might
have made to conceive it under a different form." When the reign of
Aristotle came to an end and men sought once more to comprehend and
to represent the unseen and the unseeable, a flood of symbolistic writing
resulted. Chemistry has its roots in the half charlatan symbolism of
Alchemy. The symbolic medicine of the revolt from Galen has an im-
portant place in the history of modern medicine, and the hermetic
philosophers, who busied themselves with alchemy and symbolic medi-
cine and attempted to adapt and apply the fusions of Oriental mysticism
and Neo-Platonic symbolism of the Hellenistic decadence, are in the right
line of descent of our Masonic symbols.

Later the rationalism of the age of "enlightenment" turned men
away from symbolism. For a time men's faith in reason was boundless.
The age of Preston cared nothing for symbols except as they might be
made convenient vehicles of rational instruction. Indeed Preston indulges
in an obvious sneer at those who would employ symbols otherwise than
to impart "wise and serious truths." And when presently reaction from
this age of reason came with the Komanticists of the nineteenth century,
it was felt chiefly in art, and the revival of symbolism was most con-
spicuous in aesthetics. There was no adequate philosophical apparatus
to guide the revived Masonic symbolism of Pike, and in consequence the
subject is still disfigured by too much of Hermetic charlatanism. With
the clearer light afforded by psychology and the juster appreciation of
the role of symbols in man's subconscious life and the effects thereof
upon his conscious activities which it reveals we may hope presently for

XXIV

a more truly scientific study of our mass of traditional symbols. This
will build, indeed, upon the historical studies of Pike and will use much
of the results of his instinct for interpretation. But it will have a
critical method unknown to his time that will enable Pike's successor
in Masonic symbolism to do for that subject what Gould did for Masonic
history. And so wuth one further suggestion this preface to that work
may be brought to an end. As we now think, things arc important not
so much for what they are as for what they do. Institutions are sig-
nificant functionally rather than intrinsically. Thus our student of
Masonic symbols will investigate the history of the symbols employed
by the craft and will seek their original meanings and the development
of their interpretations. But above all he will ask, and will seek to
know by means of their history and their development, how they function
today, what they teach today, and how they teach it, and even more
what they may teach and how we may make them effective for teaching
it.

MASONRY AND POLITICS

Louis Block, P. G. M., Iowa

Tlioughtful men -will all admit that it is a very good practice for any
great human iustitution to pause now and then to take stock of itself, to
look itself over, and see what it is doing, to once more place squarely and
clearly before its eyes the objects, aims, ends, and purposes for which
it exists, and to inquire of itself whether it is really justifying its exist-
ence and fulfilling its mission among men.

Freemasonry, as a great human institution, is no exception to this
rule. Never before have human institutions been tried and tested as they
have been in the world war, but now brought to a close, and there is no
time more suitable for self-examination than the present.

What, then, is Freemasonry? What function does it fulfill in human
life? What reason can it offer for its existence and of what value is it
to mankind?

Here are some of the answers which the forefathers made to these
questions at the time they laid down the fundamental principles of our
order.

They solemnly declared that Masonry consisted of a regular course
of ancient hieroglyphieal and moral instruction, taught agreeably to ancient
usages by tj'pes, emblems, and allegorical figures; that the design of the
Masonic institution was to make its votaries wiser and better and conse-
quently happier; that none should 1)0 received within its ranks but such as
were moral and upright before God, and of good repute before the world,
because such persons when associated together would naturally seek each
other's welfare and happiness equally with their own. Nothing was to be
tolerated that would conflict with a man's duty to God, his country, his
neighbor, or himself. They felt it best to oblige their members "only to
that religion in which all men agree, leaving their particular opinions to
themselves; thrt is to be good men and true, or men of honor and honesty,
by whatever denominations or persuasions they may be distinguished;
whereby Masonry becomes the center of union, and the means of conciliat-
ing true friendship among persons that must have remained at a perpetual
distance." Above all they enjoined upon their brethren the "cultivating
of brotherly love, the foundation and cope-stone, the cement and glory of
this ancient fraternity."

Finally, in the exercise of a jealous care lest the precious peace anil
harmony of the fraternity be disturbed or broken, they decreed that "no
quarrels about religion or nations, or state policy, must be brought within
the door of the lodge, we, being only as Masons of the Catholick (»'. c,

XXVI

universal) religion above mentioned and are resolved against all politicks,
as what never yet conduced to the welfare of the lodge."

These were the theories as stated in the language of the founders and
forefathers. These are th underlying principles which they adopted for
the government of the institution.

How we have interpreted these, have lived up to them, or been re-
stricted and controlled by them, is quite another matter.

Oftentimes it would seem as if we had lost sight of them and had for-
gotten them altogether, or if not that, then that, at least by false and
forced, and strained interpretation we had robbed them of all their orig-
inal spirit, purpose, and meaning. Many of us have yielded to a temptation
to try to bend and mold Masonic precepts to tit our natural prejudices.
Far too many there have been who seemed to think that Masonry existed
solely for the promulgation of a ritual. For such as these, that man has
seemed truest Mason who could reel off the ritual with all the regularity and
rapidity of a machine gun. These seemed to care little whether moral les-
sons were really taught so long as they were glibly recited. For them real
instruction in true meaning did not count — all that really mattered was
rigid word — accuracy in repetition. They seemed little concerned about
working these lessons into their individual lives, or of weaving the morality
of Masonry as an institution into the weal and welfare of public life. We
have cause to congratulate ourselves upon the fact that this class has in-
cluded but a minority of our membership.

Now religion and politics are vital matters of vast importance in
human affairs. One deals with our faiths, our hopes, and our aspirations,
concerning itsolf not only with this life but with that to come. The other
deals with those rules of human conduct that enable men of widely differing
tastes and temperaments to live side by side in peace and in order — assur-
ing to each one all the health and happiness it is possible to give him with-
out hurting his neighbor.

So that when you say to the members of a vast fraternity that they
shall not concern themselves with religion and politics you are taking on
a big contract — one well nigh impossible of performance. To forbid a
great human brotherhood from participation in such vital matters is like
trying to drive out nature with a fork — always she comes running back-
In nearly all of our Grand Lodges we have witnessed the adoption of
resolutions backing up the President, subscribing liberally for Liberty
Bonds, contributing to the Eed Cross, accumulation of war relief funds —
all of which were, strictly speaking, political rather than Masonic — that is
unless we are ready to enlarge our ancient definition of Freemasonry. Of
course, when we say political we are using the word in its higher, broader,
and nobler sense, and not in the sense of mere ofUce-grabbing, or of pro-

XXVII

viding power and pelf for any particular party, or of using public funds
for private purposes.

Did the forefathers have in mind when they adopted their strictures
against politics that the fraternity should never mix in politics even in
this nobler and higher and better way? Did they intend that Masonry's
attitude on the subject of better government should forever remain a
negative one — standing forever aloof and keeping its hands off? Are
we to go on perennially preaching moral precepts, and at the same time
standing idly by and doing nothing to weave those precepts into the laws
and life of the nation? Is that what Masonry means?

We realize full well the dangers of dissension and disruption that lurk
in the path that leads to an entrance into politics, and yet is there not
some way in which Masonry can avoid all these traps and pitfalls, and yet
throw her splendid influence in the public scales in behalf of noble projects
for the betterment of our civic life?

In time of war Masonry was at no loss to find means to prove her
loyalty to the principles of the government which her sons played so large
a part in forming and founding — a government rock-rooted upon principles
of civil and religious liberty, and based upon the entire and complete sep-
aration of church and state. Surely she should not be hard put to it to
find means to prove her patriotism in these piping times of peace, and of
furnishing real help as an institution to the solving of the portentious
problems with which that peace now confronts us.

There is rapidly growing in this country a fraternity, which, while
ever protesting it has no political ambitions, is none the less filling many
of our civil offices with its members, and making its influence widely felt
in public affairs. That fraternity is pledged to the promotion of the in-
terests of one certain church. In its eyes the state is subordinate to the
church, the state is, and should be, merely the vassal, servant, and instru-
ment of the church. Unlike the Masonic fraternity it entertains no seniples
whatever about mixing in politics. It mixes and mixes persistently. During
the war it mixed to such good effect that it not only compelled you and
me to choose between contributing to a war relief fund, a large part of
which was to be administered by it to the glory of a sectarian church, or
of appearing to be a slacker, but it also persuaded our government to deny
passports to our own war relief agents until the war was over, so that
it might put us before the world in the light of a charitable organization
of vast pretentions and little or no performance, all the while parading
itself as the only truly patriotic human brotherhood.

Now that peace has come we need look for no cessation of effort on
the part of this fraternity to enable its church to engraft itself upon the
state, to fasten itself there like a leech, and fatten itself ui)on the life-
blood of our civil government.

XXVIII

Yet this is but one of the many problems we are called upon •^o face.
Along with the adjustment of the strained relations between labor and
capital, the interference with government in private business, the ruining
of that business by government control, and the exacting of tribute from
the people to procure funds to repair that ruin — along with these have
come many other perplexing problems, all of which demand safe and sane
solutions — remedies which shall not be worse than the disease — remedies
that shall save us from being racked by the ruin of Bolshevism.

Shall Masonry still keep her hands out of politics — play no part in
making democracy safe for the world — have naught to do with the estab-
lishment of a brotherhood of nations?

Perhaps, as an institution, yes.

Nevertheless, thank God, there is no law in Masonry that prevents us,
as individuals, from doing our duty as men, in these great crises, and that
is a privilege that can never be denied us.

While we may be denied the right as an organization to enter politics
for the protection of our country, yet there is no power on earth that can
prevent us from standing shoulder to shoulder as individuals, and to say to
the enemies of our country seeking to prey either, privately or publicly,
upon her sacred institutions, even as did the brave poilus to the Prussians
marching on Paris — ' ' They shall not pass. ' '
