Musical  Entertainment 

Previous  to  the  opening  of  grand  lodge  the  Boys'  and  Girls' 
Band  of  the  Illinois  Masonic  Orphans'  Home  at  LaGrange 
gave  a  delightful  musical  entertainment  which  was  thoroughly 
enjoyed  by  every  member  of  the  grand  lodge.  A  vote  of  thanks 
was  given  them  which  was  indulged  in  by  every  member  at- 
tending the  session.

Prayer 

Rev.  Bro.  J.  G.  Wright,  grand  chaplain,  Greenville,  led  the 
devotions. 

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." 

Tribute  to  Brother  Isaac  Cutter 

Brother  Alexander  H.  Bell  delivered  the  following  tribute 
to  our  late  grand  secretary,  Brother  Isaac  Cutter. 

To  those  of  you  who  have  attended  sessions  of  this  grand  lodge  at  any 
time  within  the  last  fifteen  years,  this  platform  from  which  I  now  address 
you  presents  a  most  unusual  appearance.  Our  brother,  Isaac  Cutter,  whose 
continued  presence  upon  this  platform  for  so  many  years,  gave  to  our  open- 
ing sessions  so  much  of  welcome  and  good  cheer,  is  not  with  us  this  morning. 
This  distinguished  and  beloved  brother,  after  many  years  of  faithful  service, 
was  called  from  us  by  our  Supreme  Grand  Master  whom  he  had  served  so 
faithfully. 

When  the  information  flashed  over  the  wires  that  Isaac  Cutter  was  no 
more,  every  heart  was  bowed  in  mourning  and  every  Mason  in  Illinois 
joined  in  the  universal  grief. 

Brother  Cutter  was  chosen  grand  secretary  at  the  session  of  this  grand 
lodge  in  1906,  and  at  each  succeeding  annual  session  he  was  re-elected  to 
that  position.  He  died  in  the  harness.  He  had  served  as  a  member  of  the 
Board  of  Grand  Examiners  several  years  before  he  became  grand  secretary. 
In  whatever  place  he  served,  his  worth  was  recognized  by  all.  As  grand 
secretary  he  had  formed  a  wider  Ma.sonic  acquaintance  in  this  state  and 
beyond  its  borders,  than  any  man  in  this  grand  jurisdiction. 

Brother  Cutter  was  a  most  likeable  man.  He  possessed  that  invaluable 
and  indescribable  charm  of  personality,  individuality,  presence  and  manner 
which  brought  him  a  cordial  welcome  wherever  he  went.  Jovial  and  whole- 
hearted, sincere  and  dependable  at  all  times,  he  became  endeared  to  our 
great  brotherhood  in  such  measure  that  his  death  brought  a  profound  and 
painful  shock  to  us  all. 

It  is  impossible  to  specify  and  with  precision  to  define  those  traits, 
qualities  and  personal  attributes  which  win  and  hold  our  affection.     They

elude  all  effort  at  definition.  They  cannot  be  segregated  and  scrutinized. 
Whatever  they  may  be,  Brother  Cutter  possessed  those  qualities  in  well- 
rounded  measure.  He  brought  into  this  grand  lodge  and  into  all  of  its 
constituent  lodges  which  he  visited,  and  diffused  among  our  brotherhood 
generally,  a  genial  and  fraternal  spirit.  He  breathed  the  atmosphere  of 
genuine  brotherhood,  and  radiated  from  his  personality  an  aura  of  warmth 
and  light  that  charmed  and  enriched  all  who  came  within  its  radiance. 
Everybody  liked  our  Brother  Cutter.  Many  loved  him,  and  his  generous 
heart  with  warm  embrace  held  us  all  in  abiding  affection. 

Brother  Cutter's  remarkable  work  and  the  acute  sense  of  loss  which 
now  broods  over  all,  are  not  to  be  attributed  wholly  to  his  kindliness  of 
heart  and  urbanity  of  manner.  Back  of  all  this,  and  forming  the  rigid 
framework  upon  which  these  more  graceful  and  engaging  qualities  were 
supported,  were  a  stern  integrity,  and  an  earnest,  persistent  purpose  to  do 
each  minute  of  his  life  the  very  test  that  he  could  in  the  service  of  his 
fellow  men.  To  do  his  duty  fully  and  to  leave  nothing  undone  that  prompt- 
ness and  fidelity  could  accomplish,  were  the  dominant  thoughts  with  him 
and  guided  and  inspired  him  every  moment  of  his  life. 

Brother  Cutter  was  a  faithful  and  efficient  grand  secretary.  His  work 
was  well  done,  completely  done,  promptly  done.  We  have  grown  so  much 
accustomed  to  his  kindly  presence  and  to  his  zealous  interest  in  our  work, 
that  we  feel  that  his  loss,  if  not  irreparable,  is  indeed  deeply  afflictive. 
This  brother  stood  among  us  as  a  great  leader  and  as  an  inspiration  to  all 
who  sought  more  light.  We  need  not  mourn  for  him.  While  we  deplore 
our  own  loss,  and  wonder  how  we  can  get  along  without  him,  we  must  re- 
member that  he  has  lost  nothing.  Death  to  him  was  not  obliteration  but 
change;  not  extinction  but  exaltation.  While  we  mourn  for  the  loss  we 
have  all  sustained,  he  no  doubt  exults  that  he  has  shaken  off  the  earthly 
tenement  which  so  long  confined  him,  and  has  risen  in  immortal  glory  to 
realms  beyond  the  skies.  All  earthly  attachments  are  transient.  The  most 
desolating  thing  about  this  life  and  this  world  is  that  the  warmest  attach- 
ments of  friendship  and  brotherly  love,  the  fondest  love  for  dear  ones,  must 
soon  be  sundered.  We  can  be  together  only  a  little  while  and  then  the 
parting  comes.  Like  vessels  passing  on  the  sea,  we  hail  and  answer  and 
are  gone. 

Had  Brother  Cutter  been  permitted  to  remain  in  this  life,  we  would 
have  enjoyed  his  society  and  would  have  profited  by  his  service.  But  what 
had  he  to  gain  by  longer  life?  He  was  ready  to  go.  He  had  fought  a  good 
fight.  He  has  finished  his  course.  He  had  served  his  fellow  men  faithfully 
and  long.  He  had  at  all  times  sought  to  do  the  will  of  his  Supreme  Grand 
Master.  He  had  earned  his  eternal  reward.  He  is  honored  and  respected 
by  all  who   knew  him,  and  loved   by  thousands   of  his  brethren   in  Free-

masonry.  No  member  of  his  family,  no  friend,  no  Mason,  need  offer  ex- 
planation or  apology  for  any  act  of  his.  He  left  us  at  the  very  acme  of 
his  career.  His  work  was  done.  His  race  was  run.  His  day  was  finished. 
His  rest  was  earned.  When  he  lay  himself  down  to  rest,  weary  of  the 
burdens  which  he  bore,  his  soul  emancipated,  disenthralled,  radiant  with 
light  from  above,  rose  in  joyous  exaltation  to  take  its  place  as  a  just  and 
upright  Mason  in  the  grand  lodge  above. 

Isaac  Cutter  was  my  close  friend.  I  knew  him  well.  I  was  intimately 
associated  with  him  during  my  services  as  your  grand  master.  He  was 
then  grand  secretary.  I  have  been  intimately  associated  with  him  ever 
since.  I  learned  to  appreciate  his  worth  and  God  knows  how  I  miss  him. 
Brethren,  we  may  be  comforted  and  sustained  by  the  unfaltering  convic- 
tion that  he  has  gone  to  his  eternal  home;  that  he  is  waiting  for  us  there 
with  welcoming  smile  ready  to  vouch  for  j-ou  and  me  when  we  knock  at 
Heaven's  gate. 

Isaac  Cutter  is  dead  'tis  true.  There  is  none  to  take  his  place  here, 
'tis  true.  But  his  life,  his  teachings,  his  example,  are  an  open  book  before 
us.  We  can  best  honor  him  by  steadfastly  keeping  in  the  paths  along  which 
he  led  us.  Doth  any  man  conceive  that  the  voice  of  Isaac  Cutter  shall  be 
heard  here  no  more?  Nay,  verily  I  say  unto  you,  that  here,  now,  and 
hereafter,  in  every  season  of  stress,  he  shall  speak  unto  us  like  a  voice 
crying  out  in  the  wilderness  to  make  darkness  light  before  us  and  crooked 
things  straight.  Brethren,  a  great  and  good  brother  has  gone  on  before. 
He  stands  upon  the  heights  beyond  with  hands  outstretched  in  loving 
benediction  on  us  all.

Proceedings  of  the  [October  il, 


Report  of  Grand  Master 

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

To  THE  Brethren  of  the  Grand  Lodge: 

' '  One  ship  drives  East,  Another  drives  West, 
While  the  self -same  breezes  blow; 
'Tis  the  set  of  the  sails  and  not  the  gales 
That  bids  them  where  to  go." 

Billows  of  discontent  have  rolled  over  the  ocean  of  human  society  during 
recent  years  while  the  world  has  been  struggling  to  reach  normal  condi- 
tions. Avarice  and  selfish  aggrandizement  have  wrought  havoc  and  brought 
misery  to  many  millions.  In  other  lands  vast  numbers  of  human  beings  are 
crying  for  bread.  Appealing  hands  are  held  out  across  the  sea  to  America, 
the  land  of  opportunity  and  plenty.  Our  people  are  ever  responsive  to 
the  cry  of  distress.  It  is  very  significant  that  human  distress  is  greatest 
in  all  countries  that  are  most  devoid  of  the  spirit  of  fraternity.  In  these 
lands  a  negative  answer  comes  to  the  question,  "Am  I  my  brother's 
keeper?"  "Where  Masonry  prevails  brotherhood  makes  men  responsive  to 
each  other 's  needs.  Masonry  flourishes  in  Anglo-Saxon  countries  and  the 
English-speaking  people  are  steadily  advancing  toward  higher  ideals  of 
humanity.  In  America  our  great  fraternity  continues  its  marvelous  growth 
and  progi'ess.  Few  dared  to  hope  that  the  immense  net  increase  of  last 
year  could  be  maintained.  But  it  has  been  exceeded.  Many  thought  the 
depression  in  business  would  seriously  curtail  the  growth  of  former  years. 
In  the  49  grand  jurisdictions  of  the  United  States  there  are  more  than 
2,000,000  of  the  best  men  enrolled  under  the  banner  of  the  Ancient  Fra- 
ternity. Mere  growth  in  numbers,  however,  is  not  all  or  even  most  to  be 
desired.  Careful  scrutiny  of  the  character  and  the  proper  use  of  the  ballot 
are  vital.  There  have  been  19  new  lodges  instituted  during  the  past  year, 
making  a  total  of  902  when  charters  are  issued. 

Before  proceeding,  however,  to  report  the  transactions  in  the  ordinary 
affairs  of  the  year  let  us  bow  in  solemn  consideration  of  the  losses  we  have 
sustained  in  death 's  depletion  of  our  ranks. 

Isaac  Cutter 

On  June  15,  1921,  at  Blessing  Hospital  at  Quincy,  the  great  soul  of 
Isaac  Cutter  took  its  flight.  For  years  he  had  been  afflicted  with  a  disease 
which  proved  to  be  incurable.  After  twelve  weeks  of  suffering  in  the  hos- 
pital, ho  passed  peacefully  over  the  river  into  the  new  life  in  the  Silent

Land.  Few  men  touched  the  hearts  of  the  Masons  as  did  Brother  Cutter. 
He  was  universally  beloved  and  no  one  will  be  more  missed  than  ' '  Uncle 
Ike,"  as  he  was  affectionately  called  by  his  brethren.  Tor  15  years  he 
had  filled  the  office  of  Grand  Secretary.  His  work  had  been  so  successful 
that  he  was  each  year  re-elected  without  opposition.  As  a  man  and  a  loyal 
American  citizen  he  stood  very  high  in  the  estimation  of  all  people  who 
came  in  contact  with  him.  From  the  first  step  he  took  in  Masonry  in 
1892  to  the  end  of  his  career  he  was  intensely  devoted  to  the  fraternity. 
No  man  ever  was  more  loyal  to  its  principles  and  teachings  than  Brother 
Cutter.  On  Sunday,  June  19th,  his  funeral  took  place  at  his  home  in 
Camp  Point,  Brother  Kichard  C  Davenport,  Junior  Grand  Warden,  con- 
ducting the  ritualistic  ceremonies.  Owing  to  a  death  in  my  own  family 
I  was  prevented  from  being  present  to  pay  my  tribute  to  his  memory. 
Brother  Arthur  E.  Wood,  Senior  Grand  Warden,  had  charge  on  behalf  of 
the  Grand  Lodge.  Further  details  of  his  great  work  will  be  left  to  the 
Committee  on  Obituaries. 

Brother  Cutter's  Successor 

The  death  of  Brother  Cutter  came  at  the  most  critical  time  of  the 
year  in  the  business  of  the  Grand  Lodge.  From  July  1  to  August  loth 
the  annual  reports  and  remittances  from  all  the  lodges  of  the  State  were 
to  be  made.  This  involved  the  collection  of  almost  $300,000.00.  In  order 
that  the  vast  amount  of  work  involved  might  be  done  without  serious  in- 
convenience, I  looked  the  field  over  for  a  successor  to  Brother  Cutter  who 
was  able  to  take  up  the  work  where  he  laid  it  down.  From  his  long  service 
and  activity  and  general  knowledge  of  all  phases  of  Masonic  activitj',  my 
first  thought  turned  to  Brother  Owen  Scott,  Past  Grand  Master.  He  was, 
therefore,  appointed  on  June  15th  and  has  continued  in  active  service. 
It  is  not  possible  to  overstate  my  obligation  to  him  in  giving  up  his  personal 
affairs  and  giving  his  entire  time  to  the  office  of  Grand  Secretary.  He 
has  performed  the  duties  without  hesitation  and  to  my  entire  satisfaction. 

American  Language  Only 

Petitions  have  come  to  me  from  lodges  formerly  working  in  the  German 
language  asking  that  they  might  be  permitted  to  resume  the  use  of  their 
mother  tongue.  Twice  the  Grand  Lodge  has  passed  on  this  question  and 
answered  in  no  uncertain  tone.  It  does  not  appear  to  me  that  any  change 
in  conditions  will  warrant  consideration  of  this  proposal.  Few  members 
of  these  lodges  are  confined  to  the  German  language.  They  under- 
stand our  national  tongue  and  can  speak  it  as  well  as  most  of  those  who 
are  native  to  our  land.  We  live  in  America,  and  all  Masons,  whether 
born  here  or  abroad,  should  be  full  Americans  and  speak  the  American 
language.     In  view  of  this  I  declined  to  entertain  these  petitions. 


10  Proceedings  of  the  [October  11, 

Epidemic  of  Organizations 

One  year  ago  I  found  it  necessary  to  call  attention  to  action  of  bodies 
other  than  Masonic  who  make  as  a  pre-requisite  membership  in  the  Ancient 
Craft.  Since  then  there  has  appeared  almost  an  epidemic  of  other  societies 
being  formed  on  similar  lines.  At  least  two  organizations  for  boys,  and 
even  of  girls,  under  the  age  required  in  Masonry,  axe  being  formed.  Con- 
sidering all  this  the  question  is,  where  is  it  going  to  end.  In  one  Grand 
Jurisdiction  legislation  has  been  enacted  prohibiting  Masons  from  becoming 
members  of  so-called  "higher  bodies"  for  a  period  of  one  year.  It  no  doubt 
has  come  to  j'our  notice  that  the  Grand  Master  of  Pennsylvania  has  issued  an 
edict  forbidding  Masons  to  become  members  of  the  Order  of  the  Eastern 
Star.  He  has  also  ordered  all  Masons  to  sever  their  membership  with  the 
Order  of  the  Eastern  Star  within  sis  months  from  the  date  of  his  edict. 
Some  self-styled  Masonic  thinkers  have  questioned  the  power  of  the  Grand 
Lodges  to  interfere  with  the  membership  of  Masons  in  the  so-called  "higher 
bodies."  Such  a  contention  is  chUdish.  Every  Mason  is  subject  to  the 
discipline  of  the  Grand  Lodge  and  its  legally  constituted  authority. 

Fraudulent  Concealment  of  Eejection 

During  my  term  of  office  as  Grand  Master  many  instances  have  come 
to  my  attention  where  persons  had  been  rejected  and  aftenvard  petitioned 
another  lodge  for  the  degrees.  In  the  second  petition  they  remembered 
everj-thing  with  great  minuteness,  except  the  fact  that  they  had  previously 
been  rejected.  When  charges  are  preferred  for  fraudulent  concealment  of 
rejection,  they  are  found  guilty  and  very  properly  expelled.  An  appeal 
comes  to  this  Grand  Lodge  and  on  some  technicality  or  plea  of  ignorance  the 
action  of  the  lodge  is  often  set  aside.  These  petitioners  go  on  and  enjoy  the 
stolen  fruit  and  are  honored  members  of  the  fraternity.  Presumably  at  least 
only  the  unworthy  and  the  unlit  are  rejected.  The  fact  that  a  man  was 
rejected  for  the  degrees  in  Masonry  is  something  he  can  never  forget.  When 
he  signs  his  petition  and  makes  a  false  answer  to  the  question  of  a  previous 
rejection,  he  is  a  fraud  and  a  deceiver  and  has  no  place  in  Masonry.  This 
Grand  Lodge  cannot  afford  to  pass  lightly  over  that  which  is  fundamental  to 
the  Craft.  It  has  occurred  to  me  that  the  blank  petition  prescribed  by  this 
body  should  be  revised,  so  that  there  can  be  no  excuse  for  such  fraudulent 
actions.  I,  therefore,  recommend  that  the  committee  on  Appeals  and  Griev- 
ances be  requested  to  make  necessary  changes  in  the  prescribed  form  and 
submit  them  for  approval. 

Short  Form  of  Opening 

Permission  to  change  to  the  short  form  of  opening  under  certain  con- 
ditions has  been  most  acceptable  to  all  lodges.     It  has  saved  time  and 


1921]  Grand  Lodge  of  Illinois  11 

has  been  a  great  help  in  the  busy  work  that  has  crowded  upon  the  Craft 
in  the  past  few  years.  In  looking  over  the  results  and  observing  this  de- 
sirable change  I  am  constrained  to  advise  that  the  short  form  of  opening 
be  permitted  at  all  meetings  of  all  lodges.  Under  Section  572  of  our  Code 
this  can  be  done  by  a  two-thirds  vote  of  the  Grand  Lodge. 

Our  Homes 

Not  since  the  establishment  of  our  Homes  have  conditions  been  better 
than  during  the  past  year.  The  change  in  the  law  one  year  ago  providing 
a  separate  board  of  managers  for  each  Home  has  worked  with  great  sat- 
isfaction to  all.  Never  in  the  history  of  the  Grand  Lodge  has  there  been 
better  team-work  and  a  higher  degree  of  efficiency  among  the  men  who 
constitute  the  two  boards.  The  brethren  have  worked  incessantly  and  un- 
selfishly for  the  good  of  the  children  at  LaGrange  and  the  aged  and  infirm 
at  Sullivan.  The  Grand  Lodge  is  fortunate  to  find  six  men  of  such  high 
standing  as  citizens  and  Masons  who  are  willing  to  devote  their  time  and 
talents  to  this  work. 

In  connection  with  the  reports  on  the  Homes,  it  is  fitting  to  record  the 
bequest  of  our  late  Brother  John  H.  Millen,  member  of  St.  John's  Lodge 
No.  13,  F.  and  A.M.,  of  Dayton,  Ohio,  to  the  Illinois  Masonic  Orphans' 
Home  at  LaGrange.  The  property  consisted  of  bonds,  bank  stock,  etc.,  and 
amounted  to  approximately  $30,000.00.  The  gift  is  most  liberal  and  the 
spirit  of  Fraternity  which  prompted  our  brother  to  remember  the  orphans 
is  magnificent.  Details  will  appear  in  the  report  of  the  Board  of  Managers 
of  the  Home. 

Bonds  for  All  Officers 

After  mature  consideration  it  is  my  judgment  that  this  Grand  Lodge 
should  take  the  necessary  steps  to  have  a  bond  by  some  reliable  bonding 
company,  covering  the  secretary  and  treasurer  of  each  lodge  in  the  State 
as  well  as  the  Grand  Lodge  officers.  To  determine  this,  I  suggest  that  a 
special  committee  of  three  be  appointed  to  investigate  this  matter.  Upon 
the  report  of  this  committee,  I  recommend  that  the  Grand  Master  be 
authorized  to  enter  into  such  a  contract  if  he  deems  advisable.  The 
fees  for  this  bond  shall  be  paid  out  of  the  funds  of  the  Grand  Lodge. 

Masonic  Schools 

Little  can  be  said  to  add  to  the  good  work  done  by  our  Board  of  Grand 
Examiners  during  the  year.  Schools  were  held  in  six  different  places,  the 
last  in  Chicago.  Each  vied  with  the  others  in  reaching  a  higher  degree 
of  efficiency.  All  were  well  attended.  At  Springfield  there  were  many 
past  grand  officers.     Three  of  these  were  past  grand  masters,  neither  of 


12  Proceedings  of  the  [October  U, 

whom  lived  there.  Sometimes  there  exists  the  feeling  that  brethren  after 
filling  places  of  honor  and  distinction  have  little  further  interest  in  the 
affairs  of  the  Craft.  This  impression  is  not  true  as  to  past  grand  officers 
in  Illinois. 

Masonic  Lotteries  Forbidden 

Masonry  does  not  look  with  the  least  degree  of  allowance  upon  raffles, 
lotteries  or  gift  enterprises.  The  law  as  given  in  Section  325  is  so  simple 
and  positive  that  no  one  needs  to  err.  Yet,  in  a  lodge  in  the  State  during 
the  year  past  a  regular  lottery  for  the  benefit  of  a  building  fund  was  pro- 
moted. An  automobile  and  a  number  of  other  valuable  articles  were  offered 
to  those  who  were  the  fortunate  possessors  of  the  proper  tickets.  The  Dis- 
trict Deputy  Grand  Master  very  properly  reported  the  case  to  me.  I  ordered 
all  money  returned  and  the  whole  scheme  suppressed.  If  lodges  cannot 
provide  themselves  meeting  places  without  resorting  to  plans  and  schemes 
which  violate  the  Masonic  as  well  as  the  laws  of  the  State  and  nation  they 
should  be  content  to  rent  lodge  rooms  indefinitely. 

Charter  Arrested 
It  became  my  unpleasant  duty  to  arrest  the  charter  of  Ilendei-son  Lodge 
No.  820,  located  at  Kenney.  The  facts  will  be  fully  disclosed  in  the 
record  in  the  case.  Charges  of  a  serious  nature  were  preferred  and 
accepted  by  the  lodge  against  a  member.  A  commission  was  appointed  to 
hear  the  case.  When  the  time  for  trial  came  it  was  found  that  legal  notice 
had  not  been  sent  to  resident  members.  The  Commission  reported  and  fur- 
ther action  was  deferred.  In  the  meantime  new  charges,  or  a  modification 
of  the  original  ones,  came  again  before  the  lodge  and  were  by  vote  refused. 
After  a  conference  with  the  Master  and  Secretary  I  ordered  that  proper 
notice  be  again  sent  and  charges  accepted.  Among  other  things,  I  directed 
that  no  dimit  should  be  issued  to  the  accused  until  the  charges  were  dis- 
posed of.  Later  I  went  to  Kenney  and  proposed  in  open  lodge  to  extend 
the  time  in  which  thcj  could  receive  the  charges,  give  the  legal  notice  and 
place  the  accused  on  trial.  It  developed  that  my  orders  had  been  disobeyed 
and  that  a  dimit  had  been  issued  and  sent  to  the  accused.  I  found  that 
instead  of  complying  with  the  law,  the  lodge  was  trying  to  evade  it.  The 
authority  of  the  Grand  Lodge  had  been  openly  defied.  In  view  of  the 
flagrant  and  wilful  violations  of  the  law  after  every  opportunity  had  been 
given  for  compliance,  I  arrested  the  charter  and  suspended  the  functions  of 
the  lodge.  I  submit  this  case  with  the  records  for  the  disposition  of  the 
Grand  Lodge. 

Master  Deposed 

Serious  complaint  was  made  against  F.  J.  Newton,  Worshipful  Master 
of    Meteor    Lodge    No.    283,    located    at    Sandwich.      The    charges    were 


1921]  Grand  Lodge  of  Illinois  13 

of  such  a  nature  as  to  bring  the  institution  of  Masonry  into  disrepute  in 
the  community.  In  order  to  get  the  facts  in  the  case,  I  appointed  a  com- 
mission consisting  of  Paul  A.  Neufer,  Chairman,  Edgar  J.  Phillips,  and 
Grover  C.  Niemeyer  who  went  to  Sandwich  and  after  a  thorough  investiga- 
tion the  majority  of  the  commission  recommended  that  the  Master  be  de- 
posed. One  member  of  the  Commission  dissented  from  this  decision.  There- 
upon I  referred  the  case  to  the  Jurisprudence  Committee  which  after  re- 
viewing the  evidence  as  reported  by  the  commission  unanimously  decided  that 
the  Master  should  be  deposed.  In  line  with  the  findings  of  the  Jurispru- 
dence Committee  I  appointed  Brother  Elmer  E.  Beach,  Deputy  Grand  Mas- 
ter, as  my  proxy  whO'  went  to  Sandwich  on  Friday,  September  9th  and 
carried  out  the  orders  deposing  the  Master  and  placing  the  lodge  in  charge 
of  the  Senior  Warden.  This  was  a  very  aggravated  case  and  required 
drastic  action.  I  submit  the  record  in  the  case  that  it  may  go  to  the  com- 
mittee for  further  investigation  and  action  by  the  Grand  Lodge. 

In  connection  with  the  decision  by  the  Committee  on  Jurisprudence  the 
question  of  who  should  pay  the  fees  was  involved.  I  held  that  the  accusers 
should  pay  the  costs  of  the  case.  The  Jurisprudence  Committee  took  the 
other  view.  I  still  feel  that  under  the  law  and  the  reason  for  it,  my  holding 
was  correct.  However,  as  the  Jurisprudence  Committee  decided  differently 
I  submitted  to  their  decision  and  ordered  the  lodge  to  pay  the  costs. 

Must  Still  Be  Eeported 

Code  146  K  regarding  the  publication  of  rejections,  suspensions,  ex- 
pulsions and  reinstatements,  repealed  at  the  1920  session  of  the  Grand 
Lodge,  did  not  affect  Code  410  D,  which  reads: 

' '  The  secretary  shall  transmit  promptly  to  the  Grand  Secre- 
tary notice  of  all  rejections  for  degrees,  expulsions,  and  reinstate- 
ments with  the  date  of  same.     *     *     * 

There  is  an  excellent  reason  why  the  requirements  of  Code  410  D  should 
be  complied-with.  The  complete  card  index  system  in  the  Grand  Secretary's 
office  should  contain  this  information  in  order  that  those  making  inquiries 
may  be  supplied  with  the  facts. 

In  Conclusion 

It  has  been  my  ambition  to  be  worthy  of  the  commendation  "Well  done 
good  and  faithful  servant. "  I  have  had  no  personal  aims  or  ends  to  achieve. 
My  sole  purpose  has  been  to  servo  the  craft  to  the  extent  of  my  ability.  I 
have  rejoiced  at  the  wonderful  growth  and  progress  of  Masonry  during  the 
time  I  have  been  Grand  Master.  In  yielding  the  gavel  of  authority  to  my 
successor,  I  do  so  feeling  that,  though  my  mistakes  may  have  been  many, 
I  have  had  an  eye  single  to  the  welfare  of  the  Craft.     I  leave  the  great 


14  Proceedings  of  tJie  [October  11, 

office  of  Grand  Master  with  no  feelings  of  bitterness  or  resentment  toward 
any  one,  but  with  a  heart  full  of  good  will  to  everyone.  Depths  of  grati- 
tude go  out  to  all  who  have  so  well  and  willingly  answered  every  call  for 
service.  No  man  ever  had  more  loyal  co-operation  than  has  been  cheerfully 
accorded  me.  My  two  and  one-half  years  of  service  as  Grand  Master  will 
be  the  high-water  mark  of  my  life. 

' '  Not  what  we  have,  but  what  we  use 
Not  what  we  see,  but  what  we  choose — 
These  are  the  things  that  mar  or  bless 
The  sun  of  human  happiness. 

The  things  nearby,  not  things  afar, 
Not  what  we  seem-,  but  what  we  are — • 
These  are  the  things  that  make  or  break 
That  give  the  heart  its  joy  or  ache. 

Not  what  seems  fair,  but  what  is  true. 
Not  what  we  dream,  but  what  we  do — 
These  are  the  things  that  shine  like  gems, 
Like  stars  in  fortune's  diadems. 

Not  as  we  take,  but  as  we  give. 
Not  as  we  pray,  but  as  we  live — 
These  are  the  things  that  make  for  peace. 
Both  now  and  after  time  shall  cease."

Report — Committee  on  Correspondence 

Bro.  Delmar  D.  Darrah  presented  the  following  report  as 
Committee  on  Correspondence.     It  was  adopted. 

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

of  the  State  of  Illinois: 

Your  Committee  on  Fraternal  Correspondence  would  report  that  a  com- 
prehensive review  of  such  proceedings  of  other  grand  lodges  as  have  been 
received  has  been  made  and  the  same  is  now  in  the  hands  of  the  printer. 

On  account  of  contention  about  hours  of  work  and  wages,  it  was  nec- 
essary for  the  company,  which  holds  the  grand  lodge  printing  contract,  to 
suspend  active  operation  for  a  number  of  weeks.  Hence,  it  is  impossible  to 
present  the  report  on  foreign  correspondence  in  printed  form  at  this  session 
of  the  grand  lodge. 

Several  grand  lodges  have  not  been  reviewed  due  to  the  fact  that  the 
proceedings  of  these  grand  bodies  were  not  received  in  time  to  be  included 
in  the  report  for  1921. 

Your  committee,  therefore,  requests  that  the  report  be  received  and 
printed  with  the  annual  proceedings. 

Fraternally  sutmitted, 

Delmar  D.  Darrah, 
Committee  on  Foreign  Correspondence. 


50  Proceedings  of  the  [October  li, 

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  com- 
mittee.    On  motion,  it  was  adopted. 

To  the  Most  Worshipful  Grand  Lodge  Ancient  Free  and  Accepted  Masons 

of  the  State  of  Illinois: 

The  story  of  Freemasonry  is  never  a  completed  narrative.  It  is  written 
day  by  day  through  each  jurisdiction  and  is  developed  from  hour  to  hour 
in  the  lives  of  men.  But  there  must  be  occasional  summing  up  of  the 
doings  of  the  craft,  and  in  his  formal  annual  report  the  grand  master  comes 
before  you  Avith  a  review  of  some  of  the  accomplishments  in  Illinois  during 
the  past  twelvemonth. 

He  finds  that  a  glance  around  the  troubled  earth  reveals  a  potent  fact, 
which  is  that  the  nations  where  distress  greatly  prevails,  now  and  at  other 
times,  are  the  ones  where  brotherhood  does  not  exist;  that  in  the  Ehiglish 
speaking  countries  where  fraternities  flourish,  there  is  the  spirit  of  tolera- 
tion, of  mutual  regard  and  contidence,  and  of  the  desire  to  be  helpful  one 
to  another.  No  stronger  argument  has  ever  been  presented  than  this  ex- 
pression of  Grand  Master  Fitzgcrrell.  In  it  Masonry  is  justified  in  a  prac- 
tical way  and  our  old  theory  that  to  know  each  other  is  to  render  the  nation 
safe,  is  fully  proven. 

The  reference  to  the  loss  of  the  right  worshipful  grand  secretary,  Isaac 
Cutter,  who  was  a  personal  friend  of  every  officer  and  member  of  this  grand 
lodge,  is  committed  to  the  attention  of  the  Committee  on  Obituaries;  and 
the  action  of  the  grand  master  in  promptly  meeting  the  emergency  by  filling 
the  responsible  post  with  an  experienced  brother  is  approved. 

On  two  occasions  the  actions  of  the  grand  master  in  regard  to  lodges 
in  other  language  than  that  of  the  country,  have  been  reviewed  by  com- 
mittees and  formally  endorsed  by  this  grand  lodge.  The  English  language 
is  the  only  language  recognized  within  this  grand  lodge.  Therefore  the 
action  in  the  present  instance,  which  presents  no  phases  that  are  new,  but 
just  the  same  old  question,  is  approved  without  reference. 

The  principle,  "It  is  for  Masonry  to  know  its  own,"  has  long  ago 
been  definitely  established.  The  constitution  of  the  Illinois  grand  lodge 
defines  clearly  the  question  of  Masonic  recognition.  The  fact  that  there 
are  constantly  being  created"  groups  of  individuals  who  proclaim  some  con- 
nection with  Masonry,  who  seek  in  some  measure  to  trade  upon  that  fra- 
ternal designation,  or  who  produce  in  the  public  mind  an  unfortunate  idea 
of  Masonry  through   their  machinations,   does  not  affect  the   fundamental 


1921J  Grand  Lodge  of  Illinois  51 

truth  enunciated  by  the  grand  master.     The  grand  lodge  powers  have  never 
been  abridged  and  they  shouhl  never  be  questioned. 

Lodges  are  frequently  troubled  with  the  petitioner  who  neglects  to 
mention  a  previous  application  and  rejection.  It  is  a  fruitful  source  of 
trouble  between  lodges  and  between  individual  members.  Anything  which 
will  be  helpful  in  preventing  such  situations  arising  is  welcome  and  the 
suggestion  concerning  the  possibility  of  amending  the  petition  form  is 
referred  for  primary  consideration  to  the  Committee  on  Appeals  and 
Grievances. 

The  grand  lodge  should  have  opportunity  to  avail  itself  of  the  views 
of  the  Board  of  Grand  Examiners  on  the  possible  application  of  the  sugges- 
tion concerning  short  foim  opening,  and  the  subject  is  so  referred. 

The  sjilendid  condition  of  the  Masonic  Homes,  due  to  highly  efficient 
management  and  supervision  is  pleasing  to  all,  and  the  generous  gift  to 
their  cause  is  deserving  of  the  special  mention  made  of  it. 

Much  embarrassment  to  subordinate  lodges  and  to  individual  officers 
may  be  prevented,  and  the  good  of  the  order  conserved  if  a  plan  such  as 
is  advocated  for  the  general  bonding  of  officers  handling  lodge  finances 
may  be  worked  out  and  this  consideration  is  assigned  to  a  special  committee 
to  be  named  by  the  grand  master. 

The  Schools  of  Instruction  are  growing  in  strength  and  usefulness, 
owing  to  the  mutual  participation  in  their  advantages  by  the  novices  in  the 
craft  and  by  those  who  may  give  to  them  the  results  of  years  of  experience. 

Masonry,  in  its  operations,  never  comes  in  conflict  with  any  of  the 
civil  laws,  and  the  action  of  the  grand  master  in  putting  a  stoj)  to  a  lottery 
carried  on  in  the  name  of  the  Masonic  fraternity  is  cordially  approved. 

Actions  relative  to  Henderson  Lodge  No.  820  and  Meteor  Lodge  No. 
283  are  directed  to  the  attention  of  the  Jurisprudence  Committee.  In  this 
connection  your  committee  does  not  concur  in  the  position  of  the  grand 
master  in  regard  to  the  fees  attaching  to  a  case  of  discipline.  We  believe 
that  any  broth'^r  who  knows  of  any  matter  which  involves  the  rights,  dignity 
or  honor  of  a  member,  a  lodge,  or  this  grand  lodge,  should  be  privileged  to 
set  in  motion  the  proper  inquiry  without  being  in  any  way  penalized,  such 
as  by  the  assessment  of  costs.  We  approve  the  action  thus  far  reported 
from  the  Jurisprudence  Committee  in  this  regard. 

All  other  matters  of  detailed  action  contained  in  the  report,  such  as 
appointments,  instituting  and  constituting,  corner-stone  laying,  etc.,  have 
been  carefully  examined  into  and  are  herewith  approved,  being  thoroughly 
in  line  with  Masonic  usage  and  custom  in  every  instance. 

It  was  decreed  by  Fate  that  Brother  Daniel  G.  Fitzgerrell  should  wield 
the  gavel  of  authority  in  the  Grand  East  of  Illinois  for  a  longer  period 


52  Proceedings  of  the  [October  11, 

than  any  other  grand  master  in  its  eighty-two  years  of  existence.  The 
greatest  number  of  lodges  have  been  instituted  and  constituted  this  year 
that  are  of  record  for  a  similar  period.  The  greatest  prosperity  of  a  ma- 
terial kind  has  been  experienced. 

And  with  these  records  has  come  the  greatest  demand  upon  the  time, 
the  patience  and  the  wisdom  of  the  one  whom  you  selected  to  direct  these 
affairs.  The  transactions  of  the  oflS.ce  of  grand  master  show  that  in  all 
things  he  has  kept  the  faith,  has  upheld  the  ancient  landmarks  and  has  so 
administered  the  laws  as  to  assure  the  dignity  and  standing  of  Freemasonry 
undiminished  and  untrammeled.  He  deserves  to  be  remembered  among  the 
great  upholders  of  the  fraternity.

Report — Committee  to  Compile  By-Laws

of  Illinois:

respectfully  report  that  their  duties  were  completed  very  shortly  after  the 
session  of  grand  lodge,  1921,  closed,  the  new  codes  printed  and  distributed 
as  ordered.  Fraternally  submitted,

Your  Committee  on  New  Legislation,  to  whom  has  been  referred  the 
report  which  it  made  to  the  grand  lodge  concerning  the  decision  of  Grand 
Master  Wheeler,  made  at  the  annual  meeting  in  1916,  having  reference  to 
the  manner  in  which  a  brother  may  change  his  name,  submits  the  following 
for  consideration  of  grand  lodge: 

"419.  When  a  brother  has  legally  changed  his  name  according  to  the 
laws  of  the  State  of  Illinois,  he  shall  be  required  to  notify  the  Secretary  of 
his  Lodge  promptly  thereof,  accompanying  such  notification  with  doc- 
umentary evidence  showing  conclusively  that  his  name  has  in  fact  been 
changed  in  conformity  with  the  civil  laws.  Upon  receipt  of  such  notifica- 
tion the  Secretary  of  the  Lodge  shall  change  the  name  accordingly  on  the 
Lodge  records  and  shall  promptly  notify  the  Secretary  of  the  Grand  Lodge 
of  such  change. ' ' 

Your  committee  recommends  that  this  be  adopted  as  an  amendment  to 
the  grand  lodge  by-laws.

All  the  above  brethren  having  met  the  requirements,  your  committee 
recommends  that  the  several  changes  of  names  be  made  on  the  records  of 
their  several  lodges  and  the  records  of  the  grand  lodge. 

No.  29.  Bro.  Mark  Ashworth,  residing  at  Mattoon,  111.,  was  formerly 
a  member  of  Elmwood  Lodge  No.  589,  located  at  Humbolt,  111.,  which  lodge 
is  now  defunct.  On  or  about  May  26,  1877,  Bro.  Ashworth  was  suspended 
for  non-payment  of  dues,  the  amount  being  $14.50.  He  now  asks  this  grand 
lodge  to  restore  him  to  good  standing  in  the  fraternity  and  presents  a  check 
for  the  amount  for  which  he  was  suspended.  Accompanying  this  request  is 
the  recommendation  of  Mattoon  Lodge  No.  260  that  his  request  be  granted. 
Your  committee  recommends  that  Bro.  Ashworth  be  restored  to  good  stand- 
ing in  the  fraternity. 

No.  30.  Wright's  Grove  Lodge  No.  779,  requests  the  restoration  of 
Bro.  Earle  Accola  who  was  expelled  from  that  lodge  on  October  1,  1908, 
his  offense  being  defrauding  the  U.  S.  Government  mails.  An  investigation 
by  a  duly  appointed  committee  of  the  lodge  reports  that  Brother  Accola 
was  influenced  in  his  offense  by  men  much  old«r  than  himself  who  were 
really  responsible  for  his  fall.  The  vote  of  the  lodge  upon  the  recommenda- 
tion of  his  restoration  was  imanimous.  Your  committee  recommend  that 
Bro.  Accola  be  restored  to  good  standing  in  the  fraternity. 


1921]  Grand  Lodge  of  Illinois  57 

No.  31.  Bro.  E.  D.  Foulkes,  residing  in  Chicago,  but  formerly  at  Bath, 
m.,  at  which  time  he  was  a  member  of  Bath  Lodge  No.  494.  On  or  about 
July  7,  1885,  Brother  Foulkes  was  suspended  for  non-payment  of  dues  in 
the  amount  of  $12.00.  He  now  asks  this  grand  lodge  to  restore  him  to  good 
standing  in  the  fraternity,  accompanies  his  request  with  a  check  for  the 
amount  of  which  he  was  suspended,  and  the  recommendation  of  several 
Master  Masons  in  good  standing  that  his  request  be  granted.  Your  com- 
mittee recommends  that  Brother  Foulkes  be  restored  to  good  standing  in  the 
fraternity. 

No.  32.  Makanda  Lodge  No.  434,  Makanda,  recommends  the  restora- 
tion of  Bro.  Frank  Hagler,  expelled  by  that  lodge  on  or  about  August  30, 
1917.  It  would  seem  that  the  principal  offense  of  Brother  Hagler  was  the 
disobedience  of  a  summons  to  appear  and  answer  charges,  which  summons 
Brother  Hagler  claims  was  not  served.  The  petition  for  the  recommendation 
by  Makanda  Lodge  was  regularly  presented  and  regularly  acted  upon.  Your 
committee  recommends  that  Bro.  Frank  Hagler  be  restored  to  good  standing 
in  the  fraternity. 

No.  33.  Bro.  J.  F.  Maxey,  residing  at  Pomona,  Kansas,  but  formerly 
at  Humbolt,  111.,  at  which  time  he  was  a  member  of  Elwood  Lodge  No. 
589,  located  at  Humbolt,  but  now  defunct,  was  on  or  about  August  10, 
1878,  suspended  for  non-payment  of  dues  in  the  amount  of  $6.00.  He  now 
asks  this  grand  lodge  to  restore  him  to  good  standing  in  the  fraternity  and 
accompanies  his  request  with  the  amount  for  which  he  was  suspended.  He 
also  presents  a  recommendation  by  McKinley  Lodge  No.  41,  A.F.  &  A.M., 
of  Pomona,  Kansas,  that  his  request  be  granted.  Brother  Maxey  has  lived 
at  Pomona  for  the  last  forty  years  and  the  lodge  at  that  place  recommends 
him  as  being  of  good  morals,  good  reputation  and  an  upright  citizen.  Your 
committee  recommends  that  Bro.  J.  F.  Maxey  be  restored  to  good  standing 
in  the  fraternity. 

No.  34.  Cosmpolitan  Lodge  No.  1020,  Chicago,  requests  the  restoration 
of  Bro.  Abe  Solomon  who  was  expelled  from  that  lodge  in  November,  1920. 
Brother  Solomon  was  charged  with  falsely  claiming  a  residence  in  Chicago 
in  order  to  secure  the  degi'ees  in  Cosmopolitan  Lodge.  Later  investigation 
proves  conclusively  that  Brother  Solomon  could  technically  claim  his  resi- 
dence in  Chicago  and  was  so  advised  by  those  whom  he  considered  authority 
on  such  matters.  Your  committee  recommends  that  Brother  Solomon  be 
restored  to  good  standing  in  the  fraternity. 

No,  35.  Chicago  Heights  Lodge  No.  851,  Chicago  Heights,  requests  the 
restoration  of  Edwin  O.  Gord,  who  was  expelled  from  that  Lodge  on  Sep- 
tember 8,  1908.  His  offense  was  withholding  a  petition  and  the  fee.  His 
request  was  regularly  passed  upon  by  Chicago  Heights  Lodge  and  your 
committee  recommends  that  Brother  Gord  be  restored  to  good  standing  in 
the  fraternity. 


58  Proceedings  of  the  [October  ii, 

No.  36.  Seneca  Lodge  Xo.  532,  Seneca,  requests  the  restoration  of 
Edward  L.  Griffith,  who  was  expelled  from  that  lodge  on  December  1.5,  1905. 
The  request  of  Brother  Griffith  was  regularly  acted  upon  by  Seneca  Lodge, 
and  your  committee  recommends  that  Bro.  Edward  L.  Griffith  be  restored 
to  good  standing  in  the  fraternity. 

No.  37.  Eome  Lodge  No.  721,  at  Dix,  requests  the  restoration  of 
George  H.  Fyke,  who  was  expelled  from  that  lodge  on  or  about  November 
20,  1912.  The  request  of  Brother  Fyke  was  regularly  acted  upon  by  Eome 
Lodge  and  your  committee  recommends  that  Bro.  George  H.  Fyke  be  restored 
to  good  standing  in  the  fraternity. 

No.  38.  St.  Andrews  Lodge  No.  863,  Chicago,  requests  the  restoration 
of  Frank  U.  Plopper,  who  was  suspended  from  that  lodge  on  or  about  Sep- 
tember 20,  1920.  His  offense  being  as  follows:  On  June  6,  1916,  Bro. 
Frank  U.  Plopper  petitioned  Manitowoc  Lodge  No.  65,  A.F.  &  A.M.,  located 
at  Manitowoc,  Wis.,  and  was  rejected.  On  December  10,  1918,  he  petitioned 
St.  Andrews  Lodge  No.  863  of  Chicago,  signing  a  petition  which  contained 
the  usual  qualification  that  the  candidate  had  never  before  petitioned  a 
Masonic  lodge  for  the  degrees.  He  also  answered  the  usual  interrogatory 
of  the  secretary,  in  the  negative,  when  asked  if  he  had  ever  before  petitioned 
a  Masonic  lodge  for  the  degrees.  He  also  stated  in  his  petition  to  St. 
Andrews  Lodge  that  he  had  been  a  resident  of  Illinois  for  six  years  next 
preceding  the  date  of  said  petition,  when  in  point  of  fact  he  had  been 
rejected  in  Manitowoc  Lodge  only  two  and  a  half  years  previous.  Your 
committee  is  of  the  opinion  that  the  offense  of  Brother  Plopper  is  of  such 
magnitude  as  to  merit  a  longer  term  of  expulsion  (ban  from  September  last 
to  the  present  date.  We,  therefore,  recommend  that  the  request  of  St. 
Andrews  Lodge  for  the  restoration  of  Bro.  Frank  U.  Plopper  be  not  granted. 

No.  39.  Thirty  or  more  Master  Masons,  residing  in  or  near  the  town 
of  St.  Anne,  Iroquois  County,  having  secured  the  permission  of  the  Most 
Worshipful  Grand  Master  to  take  the  neeessaiy  steps  toward  organizing  a 
Masonic  lodge  at  that  place,  regularly  petitioned  the  three  nearest  Masonic 
lodges  for  their  recommendations.  Two  of  the  three  lodges  readily  recom- 
mended the  organization  of  the  new  lodge  at  St.  Anne.  The  lodge  at  Aroma, 
by  a  close  vote,  refused  to  give  its  recommendation.  The  brethren  of  St. 
Anne,  having  met  all  other  requirements,  presented  their  petition  to  the 
Most  Worshipful  Grand  Master,  and  he  in  turn,  has  referred  it  to  this 
committee.  Your  committee  is  of  the  opinion  that  (he  organization  of  a 
Masonic  lodge  at  St.  Anne  will  not  seriously  handicap  or  cripple  the  interests 
of  Aroma  lodge.  We,  therefore,  recommend  that  the  brethren  cf  St.  Anne 
be  granted  a  dispensation  to  organize  a  Masonic  lodge  at  that  place. 

No.  40.  Galatia  Lodge  No.  684,  Galatia,  requests  the  restoration  of 
Jei-se  B.  Sprague,  who  was  expelled  from  that  lodge  on  September  13,  1919. 


1921]  Grand  Lodge  of  Illinois  59 

Your  committee  is  assured  that  Brother  Sprague  has,  by  good  resolution  and 
proper  conduct,  made  amends  for  the  oft'ense  for  which,  he  was  sentenced. 
We  therefore  recommend  that  the  request  of  Galatia  lodge  be  granted  and 
that  Bro.  Jesse  B.  Sprague  be  restored  to  good  standing  in  the  fraternity.

Bro.  Alexander  H.  Bell  presented  the  report  of  the  Com- 
mittee on  Appeals  and  Grievances.     The  report  was  adopted. 

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

The  undersigned,  as  your  Committee  on  Appeals  and  Grievances,  re- 
spectfully report  that  a  number  of  cases  have  been  submitted  to  us  on 
appeal  to  the  grand  lodge,  as  follows: 

Parian  Lodge  No.  977 

vs. 


Your  committee  is  of  the  opinion  that  the  findings  of  the  commission 
were  in  all  respects  justified  by  the  evidence  and  we  recommend,  therefore, 
that  the  action  of  the  commission,  in  finding  the  brother  guilty  and  indefi- 
nitely suspending  him  from  all  the  rights  and  privileges  of  Masonry,  be 
sustained. 

Mt.  Veknon  Lodge  No.  31 
vs. 


We  recommend  that  the  action  of  Mt.  Vernon  Lodge  No.  31  in  finding 
the  brother  not  guilty  of  the  charges  and  specifications  preferred  against 
him  be  sustained. 

Shekinah  Lodge  No.  241 
vs. 


We  recommend  that  the  action  of  the  trial  commission  in  finding  the 
brother  guilty  and  fixing  his  punishment  at  expulsion,  be  set  aside^  and  that 


60  Proceedings  of  the  [October  11, 

he  be  restored  to  all  the  rights  and  privileges  of  Masonry.  We  further 
recommend  that  the  case  be  remanded  and  that  the  grand  master  appoint 
a  new  trial  commission  to  take  charge  of  and  try  the  case. 

Peoria  Lodge  No.  15         Temple  Lodge  No.  46       Temple  Lodge  No.  46 
vs.  vs.  vs. 


Your  committee  has  examined  the  record  with  much  care.  We  are 
clearly  of  the  opinion  that  all  three  of  these  brethren  are  guilty  as  charged. 
We  recommend  that  the  action  of  the  commission  in  finding  Brethren  S. 
and  B.  guilty  and  in  recommending  their  expulsion  be  sustained  and  they 
be  expelled  from  all  the  rights  and  privileges  of  Masonry.  We  recommend 
that  the  action  of  Peoria  Lodge  No.  15  in  finding  Brother  P.  guilty  be  sus- 
tained; that  the  action  of  that  lodge  in  fixing  the  punishment  of  Brother 
P.  at  reprimand  be  set  aside  and  that  he  be  expelled  from  all  the  rights 
and  privileges  of  Masonry. 

Mt.  Veknon  Lodge  No.  31 

vs. 


Your  committee  has  carefully  examined  this  case  and  are  much  im- 
pressed with  the  consideration  that  the  brethren  of  Mr.  Vernon  Lodge  who 
were  familiar  with  everything  appertaining  to  the  charges  and  specifications 
were  fully  qualified  to  judge  as  to  the  guilt  of  the  accused.  We  recommend 
therefore  that  the  action  of  Mr.  Vernon  Lodge  No.  31  in  finding  Brother 
C.  not  guilty  be  sustained. 

All  of  which  is  respectfully  submitted,

Report — lUmois  Masonic  Orphans'  Home 

Bro.  Robert  J.  Daly,  presented  the  report  of  the  Board  of 
Managers  of  the  Illinois  Masonic  Orphans'  Horhe  at  La- 
Grange.  So  much  of  the  report  as  related  to  appropriations 
was  referred  to  the  Finance  Committee.  The  remainder  of 
the  report  was  adopted. 

To  the  Most  Worshipful  Grand  Lodge  Ancient  Free  and  Accepted  Masons 

of  the  State  of  Illinois: 

Your  Board  of  Managers  in  charge  of  the  Illinois  Masonic  Orphans' 
Home  fraternally  submits  the  following  report  of  its  administration  for 
the  year  ending  September  30,  1921. 

Pursuant  to  the  action  at  the  last  meeting  of  the  grand  lodge  placing 
the  supervision  of  the  Masonic  Homes  under  separate  boards,  the  grand 
master  appointed  the  Board  of  Managers  for  the  Illinois  Masonic  Orphans' 
Home  as  follows:  Brethren  William  D.  Price  for  one  year,  Kobert  J. 
Daly  for  two  years,  Eobert  C.  Fletcher  for  three  years,  with  the  grand 
master,  Daniel  G.  Fitzgerrell  and  the  E.W.  deputy  grand  master.  Brother 
Elmer  E.  Beach,  as  members  ex-officio. 

Immediately  following  the  closing  of  the  grand  lodge  meeting,  the  new 
board  met  and  effected  its  organization  as  follows:  Brethren  Robert  J. 
Daly,  President,  Robert  C.  Fletcher,  Treasurer,  William  D.  Price,  Secretary. 

By  action  of  the  board,  Brother  and  Mrs.  George  L.  Hilliker  were 
continued  as  superintendent  and  matron  and  Brother  Arthur  E.  Higgins, 
M.D.,  as  physician  for  the  home. 

Official  Bonds 

The  bond  of  the  treasurer  was  fixed  at  twenty  thousand  dollars, 
($20,000)  and  that  of  the  superintendent  at  five  thousand  dollars,  ($5,000). 


3921]  Grand  Lodge  of  Illinois  89 

Surety  company  bonds  for  these  amounts  have  been  furnished  by  these 
officers. 

The  board  has  held  four  called  meetings  during  the  year.  The  ap- 
pointive members  of  the  board  have  met  regularly  on  the  second  Monday 
of  each  month  at  the  home  and  following  the  established  custom  of  former 
years,  the  supervision  of  the  home  has  alternated  month  by  month  among 
the  appointive  members. 

There  is  nothing  unusual  to  report  about  our  family  during  the  past 
year.  Except  for  the  minor  ills  incident  to  childhood,  the  health  conditions 
have  been  excellent.  We  believe  that  in  a  great  measure  this  is  a  conse- 
quence of  the  improved  playground  facilities  made  possible  by  the  splendid 
gift  of  Oriental  Consistory.  The  school  reports  of  our  children  show 
steady  progress  in  their  studies. 

Manual  Training 

Full  use  has  been  made  of  the  facilities  provided  by  the  addition  of 
the  manual  training  building  which  embrace  rooms  for  the  print  shop,  the 
woodworking  shop  and  domestic  science.  The  print  shop,  under  the  super- 
vision of  Bro.  A.  E.  Harvie,  has  furnished  excellent  instruction  for  the 
boys  and  has  been  self-sustaining.  As  in  previous  years,  instruction  in 
woodworking  and  domestic  science  has  been  given  during  the  summer 
months. 

The  management  of  the  home  has  sustained  a  severe  loss  in  the  death 
of  the  matron,  Mrs.  Hilliker,  which  occurred  on  Saturday  evening,  Sep- 
tember 17.  She  was  a  woman  of  rare  qualifications  for  her  work  and  dur- 
ing her  five  years'  residence  in  the  home  has  made  a  permanent  place  for 
herself  in  the  affections  of  the  children.

Improvements 

At  the  grand  lodge  meeting  of  1919,  the  Board  of  Managers  of  the 
Masonic  Homes  recommended  the  construction  of  an  addition  at  the  south 
end  of  the  home  building  for  girls'  dormitories  and  one  at  the  north  end 
for  boys'  dormitories  and  also  of  a  separate  building  for  heating  and  power 
plants,  laundry  and  manual  training,  for  which  an-  appropriation  of  one 
hundred  thirty-five  thousand  dollars,  ($135,000)  was  made. 

After  having  plans  made  for  these  buildings,  including  an  extension 
of  the  south  dormitory  wing  for  hospital  purposes  and  securing  estimates 
of  their  cost,  it  was  found  that  the  appropriation  was  not  sufficient  owing 
to  the  very  high  costs  of  building  construction.  Accordingly  after  con- 
sultation with  the  grand  master,  it  was  decided  to  proceed  with  the  con- 
struction of  the  power  plant  and  manual  training  building,  together  with 


90  Proceedings  of  tJie  [October  12, 

the  tunnel  connecting  it  with  the  main  building.  This  work  has  been  com- 
pleted at  a  cost  of  eighty-seven  thousand,  three  hundred  thirty-seven  dol- 
lars and  twenty- three  cents,  ($87,337.23),  and  the  building  is  in  use. 

In  1920,  by  recommendation  of  the  Finance  Committee  and  action  of 
the  grand  lodge,  the  balance  remaining  in  the  National  Defense  Fund 
amounting  to  fifty-seven  thousand,  one  hundred  seventy-two  dollars  and 
forty-seven  cents,  ($57,172.47),  was  made  available  for  additional  con- 
struction at  the  home.  It  was  then  decided  to  proceed  with  the  construc- 
tion of  the  south  dormitory  and  hospital  section  which  has  been  completed 
at  a  cost  of  ninety-seven  thousand,  nine  hundred  forty-four  dollars  and 
twenty-nine  cents,    ($97,944.29),  and  is  now  occupied. 

The  total  cost  of  additional  buildings  including  architect's  fees  has 
been  one  hundred  eighty-five  thousand,  eight  hundred  sixty-eight  dollars 
and  eleven  cents,  ($185,868.11). 

The  total  appropriations  by  the  grand  lodge  for  building  purposes 
have  been  one  hundred  ninety-two  thousand,  one  hundred  seventy-two  dol- 
lars and  forty-seven  cents,  ($192,172.47)  to  which  must  be  added  the 
Millen  hospital  building  bequest  of  thirty-two  thousand,  four  hundred  six 
dollars  and  seventy-five  cents,  ($32,406.75),  making  the  total  amount  of 
the  building  fund  two  hundred  twenty-four  thousand,  five  hundred  seventy- 
nine  dollars  and  twenty-two  cents,  ($224,579.22),  and  leaving  unexpended 
in  the  building  fund  a  balance  of  thirty-nine  thousand,  two  hundred  ninety- 
seven  dollars  and  seventy  cents,   ($39,297.70). 

From  the  foregoing  statement  it  will  be  seen  that  the  building  pro- 
gramme as  outlined  in  1919  is  not  yet  complete.  Owing  to  the  steady  in- 
crease in  the  number  of  our  children,  especially  boys,  the  need  for  the 
north  dormitory  wing  is  more  pressing  than  ever. 

With  the  increase  in  numbers,  our  dining  room  is  inadequate  to  its 
needs  and  additional  space  for  this  purpose  is  an  imperative  necessity.  AVe 
recommend  an  addition  to  the  present  dining  room. 

Bequest  of  John  H.  Millen 

By  the  will  of  Bro.  John  H.  Millen,  a  member  of  St.  John's  Lodge 
No.  13  F.  &  A.  M.  of  Dayton,  Ohio,  and  for  a  time  a  resident  of  Chicago, 
thirty-two  thousand  four  hundred  six  dollars  and  seventy-five  cents 
($32,406.75)  was  given  to  the  Illinois  Masonic  Orphans'  Home  for  "the 
construction  of  a  building  to  be  used  preferably  for  manual  training  or  for 
educational,  amusement,  sleeping,  or  hospital  purposes."  This  bequest  has 
been  received  by  the  board  and  turned  over  to  the  grand  treasurer  to  be 
credited  to  the  Illinois  Masonic  Orphans'  Home  building  fund  and  has 
been  used  for  the  construction  of  the  hospital.     A  suitable  bronze  tablet.

commemorating  this   bequest,   has   been   placed   at  the    entrance    to    the 
hospital. 

Other  Bequests 

The  will  of  Bro.  Edward  F.  Toomey,  a  member  of  Old  Glory  Lodge 
No.  975,  bequeaths  approximately  twenty-five  thousand  dollars,  ($25,000) 
to  the  Masonic  Orphans'  Home.  The  will  of  Bro.  Robert  T,  Wilbank,  be- 
queaths an  amount  not  yet  known.  The  will  of  Bro.  George  R.  Hoadley 
bequeaths  an  annuity  of  one  hundred  dollars,  ($100)  per  year  to  the  Illi- 
nois Masonic  Orphans'  Home  for  a  number  of  years  as  yet  undetermined. 

We  expect  that  during  the  coming  year  the  probates  of  these  wills  will 
be  completed  and  that  in  our  next  report  the  exact  amounts  derived  from 
these  bequests  can  be  definitely  reported. 

We  have  received  from  the  Ladies  Auxiliary  of  Chicago  Commandery 
No.  19  K.T.,  the  sum  of  eight  hundred  sixteen  dollars  and  thirty  cents, 
($816.30)  for  gymnastic  equipment  which  has  been  placed  at  interest.  We 
hope  to  provide  in  the  proposed  new  north  addition,  gymnasium  facilities 
at  which  time  this  sum  will  be  expended  for  the  purpose  designated. 

Furnishing  Fund 

The  grand  lodge  having  made  no  appropriation  for  furnishing  the  new 
buildings  and  as  many  bodies  and  individuals  had  expressed  a  desire  to 
contribute  for  this  purpose,  your  board,  after  consultation  with  and  the 
approval  of  the  grand  master,  received  many  contributions  for  this  purpose, 
the  total  amount  being  twenty  thousand,  four  hundred  ninety  dollars  and 
thirty-nine  cents,  ($20,490.39). 

A  tablet  giving  the  names  of  all  these  bodies  and  individuals  is  placed 
in  the  south  building.  A  list  of  these  names  is  appended  hereto.  These 
generous  contributions  have  enabled  us  to  furnish  and  equip  the  new 
buildings  in  a  complete  and  satisfactory  manner. 

Disbursement  of  Appropriations 

At  the  last  meeting  of  the  grand  lodge,  the  following  appropriations 
were  made: 

For  refrigerating   plant    $  2,500.00 

For  laundry  equipment   3,450.00 

For  repairs,  minor  alterations  and  additional  equipment.     2,500.00 

For  new  water   softening  plant 5,500.00 

For  maintenance 46,000.00 

These  several  amounts  have  been  expended  for  the  purposes  indicated 
excepting  an  unexpended  balance  of  two  hundred  seventy-seven  dollars,  and 
thirteen   cents,    ($277.13),   of   the   amount   appropriated    for    maintenance

to  the  contract  the  final  payment  is  not  yet  due.  We,  therefore,  recom- 
mend that  this  amount  be  left  in  the  hands  of  the  board. 

Kecommendations

amounts :

REPORT   OF  AUDITOR 

Mr.  Robert  J.  Daly,  President,   Board  of  Managers, 
Illinois  Masonic  Home,  La  Grange,  Illinois. 

Dear  Sir: 

This  certifies  that  I  have  examined  the  records  of  the  Secretary  and  the 
Treasurer  of  the  Illinois  Masonic  Home  at  La  Grange,  Illinois,  for  the  year 
ending  September  30,  1921,  and  that,  in  my  opinion,  the  statements  attached 
hereto  are  a  correct  exhibit  of  the  period  ended  on  that  date. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

Wm.  R.  Peters, 

Auditor. 
Dated  at  Chicago,  Illinois,  October  6,  1921. 


REPORT  OF  SUPERINTENDENT  OF  ILLINOIS  MASONIC 
ORPHANS'   HOME 

To  the  Board  of  Managers  of  the  Illinois  Masonic  Orphans'  Home: 
Dear  Brethren: 

Herewith  I  submit  my  sixth  annual  report  as  Superintendent  of  this 
Home. 

At  the  date  of  this  report,  September  30,  all  of  the  children  are  well 
and  healthy  with  the  exception  of  one  little  girl  who  is  recovering  from 
an  attack  of  pneumonia.  On  July  6,  one  of  our  little  boys,  Louis  Cunning- 
ham, died  very  suddenly  of  meningitis.    He  was  sick  but  a  very  few  hours. 


96  Proceedings  of  the  [October  12, 

Aside  from  these  two  cases,  v>e  have  had  practically  no  sickness  during  the 
past  year. 

During  the  late  winter  and  early  spring,  we  had  some  twenty  cases 
of  mumps.  None  of  the  children  were  confined  to  their  beds,  but  of 
course,  it  caused  the  usual  loss  of  school  privileges. 

Owing  to  the  intensely  dry  summer,  our  garden  was  not  as  productive 
as  we  hoped  it  would  be.  We  are,  however,  now  having  fresh  vegetables 
from  the  garden,  tomatoes,  string  beans,  cabbages,  beets  and  Swiss  chard. 

In  manual  training  not  as  much  was  accomplished  as  the  year  before 
for  two  reasons.  First,  the  machinery  placed  in  the  manual  training  room 
was  not  ready  for  use  until  early  in  August.  Second,  the  boys  in  the  manual 
training  class  were  all  new  to  machine  work  and  but  two  had  previously 
had  any  manual  training  work. 

The  domestic  science  course  accomplished  more.  Each  of  the  twelve 
girls  in  the  class  made  themselves  a  gingham  dress  and  a  woolen  dress,  and 
did  excellent  work  in  cooking. 

With  the  printing  plant,  manual  training  and  domestic  science  classes 
all  at  work,  the  vacation  period  passed  rapidly  and  happily. 

Print  Shop 

During  the  year  the  following  gifts  have  been  received  for  the  benefit 
of  the  Print  Shop: 

Integrity  Lodge   No.  997 $32.00 

Bohemia  Chapter  No.  763  O.  E.  S 5.00 

Square  Lodge  No.  978... 6.25 

Villa  Grove  Lodge  No.  885 1.00 

James  E.  Dick 5.50 

Cleveland  Chapter  No.  696  O.  E.  S 15.00 

Elmhurst  Lodge  No.  941 2.50 

Total $67.25 

Our  little  shop  has  had  a  very  successful  year,  particularly  since 
Bro.  A.  E.  Harvie  has  been  placed  in  charge.  Not  only  has  it  paid  its 
running  expenses,  stock  and  salaries,  but  it  has  enlarged  its  equipment  of 
type.  It  also  purchased,  at  the  expense  of  about  $200.00,  an  addresso- 
graph  for  use  in  mailing  out  "The  Gossip." 

There  has  been  an  added  activity  to  the  home  in  the  last  year.  All 
of  the  children,  large  and  small  are  given  singing  lessons  Saturday  after- 
noon of  each  week  by  one  of  the  teachers  in  La  Grange  schools. 


1921]  Grand  Lodge  of  Illinois  97 

The  value  of  these  several  activities,  the  print  shop,  manual  train- 
ing, domestic  science,  band  and  singing  lessons  cannot  be  over-estimated. 
It  is  an  immeasurable  benefit  to  our  home  life,  giving  an  interest  that  noth- 
ing can  touch.  "With  our  increase  in  membership,  must  necessarily  follow 
an  increase  in  the  number  of  activities.  At  present  our  vocational  train- 
ing is  confined  to  woodworking,  printing,  cooking  and  sewing.  The  train- 
ing and  the  equipment  for  work  is  excellent  but  to  meet  the  demand  of 
our  large  and  increasing  family,  a  greater  number  of  lines  of  vocational 
training  should  be  installed.  If  we  could  provide  something  like  kinder- 
garten work  for  those  from  five  to  nine  and  a  higher  grade  of  vocational 
training  for  those  from  ten  years  up  who  are  not  in  the  printing,  manual 
training  or  domestic  science  classes,  and  continue  this  during  the  same 
period  in  the  summer  that  we  have  our  manual  training,  I  am  sure  we 
would  find  that  the  benefits  derived  therefrom  would  far  outweigh  the  ex- 
pense. Appended  hereto  is  a  detailed  report  of  the  membership  of  the 
home  and  the  various  gifts  received  during  the  year. 

Eespectfully  subm.itted, 

G.    S.    HlLLIKEE, 

Superintendent.

Resolution 

The  following  resolution  was  presented  by  Bro.  James 
McCredie.     It  was  referred  to  the  Finance  Committee. 

Whereas,  the  authorities  in  charge  of  the  public  schools  at  La  Grange, 
Illinois,  are  engaged  in  erecting  additional  buildings  for  the  use  of  the 
public  schools  in  La  Grange,  Illinois, 

Now  Therefore,  inasmuch  as  the  children  in  our  Masonic  Orphans' 
Home  at  La  Grange,  Illinois,  are  attendants  at  such  public  schools,  and 
because  of  the  interest  of  this  grand  lodge  in  the  public  schools  at 
La  Grange,  Illinois,  it  is  therefore, 

Eesolved,  that  this  grand  lodge  as  a  voluntary  contribution  donate 
the  sum  of  six  thousand  ($6,000.00)  dollars  to  the  Board  of  Education  of 
the  school  district  wherein  La  Grange,  Illinois,  is  situated,  to  be  used  as 
a  part  of  the  building  funds  in  the  erection  of  such  buildings. 

Eesolved,  that  the  warrant  of  this  grand  lodge  for  the  amount  above 
named,  be  issued  to  the  proper  corporate  body  in  charge  under  the  laws 
of  Illinois  of  the  public  schools  of  such  school  district.

Report — Illinois  Masonic  Home,  Sullivan 

Bro.  James  McCredie  presented  the  report  of  the  Board 
of  Managers  of  the  IlHnois  Masonic  Home  at  Sullivan.  So 
much  of  the  report  as  related  to  appropriations  was  referred 
to  the  Finance  Committee.  The  remainder  of  the  report  was 
adopted. 

To  the  Most  Worshipful  Grand  Lodge  Ancient  Free  and  Accepted  Masons 

of  the  State  of  Illinois: 

Your  Board  of  Managers  in  charge  of  the  Illinois  Masonic  Home  at 
Sullivan  submit  their  report  for  the  year  ending  September  30,  1921. 

Following  the  closing  of  the  grand  lodge  meeting,  the  board  met  and 
elected   the   following  officers: 

James  McCredie,  president. 

Charles  C.  Davis,  treasurer. 

Alonzo  Dolan,  secretary. 

During  the  past  year  everything  has  been  running  along  very  smoothly 
and  harmoniously  for  which  reason  we  have  nothing  special  to  present  for 
your  attention. 

On  December  1,  1920,  Bro.  J.  B.  Smith  of  Clay  City,  who  had  been 
superintendent,  resigned,  and  Mr.  A.  E.  McCorvie,  of  Belvidere,  was  ap- 
pointed to  fill  the  vacancy. 

Mr.  McCorvie  is  a  very  efficient  superintendent  and  the  board  of  man- 
agers feel  that  he  has  been  and  will  be  of  very  great  value  to  the  home. 

Appropeiations 
The  following  statement  shows  the  appropriations  made  by  the  grand 
lodge  in  1920,  the  amounts  drawn,  and  the  unexpended  balances  returned 
to  the  grand  lodge  at  the  close  of  business,  September  30,  1921. 

Appropriation         Drawn  Keturned 

Covering  pipes  $7,500  $7,500  $    392.83 

Tire  pumps  1,000  (not  drawn)

*Plumbing 7,500  7,500  7,000.00 

*Contract  let  recently;    holding  the  balance  $7,000.00. 

The  contract  for  replacing  the  plumbing  in  the  men's  building  was  not 
let  until  September  of  this  year.  W]hile  the  work  was  needed  badly  we  did 
not  feel  justified  in  letting  the  contract  until  prices  had  come  down  to  what 
we  thought  was  a  reasonable  figure. 

The  appropriation  for  the  fire  pump  and  the  power  house  chimney  were 
not  drawn  because  of  a  change  in  our  plans  which  made  it  unnecessary 
at  this  time. 

The  appropriation  for  the  moving  picture  machine  was  not  used  as 
money  to  purchase  it  was  provided  in  another  way. 

We  were  unable  to  build  the  sun  parlor  on  the  hospital  building  with 
the  generous  sum  of  $10,000  appropriated  by  the  Grand  Chapter  Eoyal 
Arch  Masons  on  account  of  high  prices  of  labor  and  materials.  Only 
enough  money  was  drawn  from  the  fund  to  pay  the  architect  for  the  plans. 
The  sun  parlor  will  probably  be  built  the  coming  year  inside  the  appro- 
priation. 

The  unexpended  balances  left  in  the  several  funds  were  turned  over 
to  the  grand  secretary  on  the  last  day  of  September. 

The  reports  of  the  treasurer  and  the  books  of  the  institution  have 
been  audited  by  Bro.  A.  B.  Steuban,  of  the  Secretary  of  State's  office,  and 
may  be  found  in  the  proceedings. 

A  Gift 
Constantia  Lodge  No.   783  of  Chicago,  through  their  efforts,   gave  to 
the  home  a  gift  of  $600  which  was  gratefully  received. 

EoAD  Fund 
There  remains  in  the  hands  of  the  treasurer  of  the  board  a  balance  of 
$1250.25,  of  a  special  road  fund  appropriated  severaV  years  ago  for  repairs 
and  maintenance  of  the  roadway  between  the  home  and  Sullivan.  The 
committee  requests  that  this  fund  be  allowed  to  remain  in  their  hands  to 
be  used  for  the  same  purpose. 

Amounts  Needed  1921-22 
For  the  coming  year  1921-22  your  board  recommends  the  appropriation 
of  $75,000.00  for  maintenance.     We  further  recommend  the  appropriation 
for  the  following  purposes  of  the  several  amounts  enumerated: 

Implement  sheds  $1,500.00 

Power  line,  etc 5,000.00

REPORT  OF  SUPERINTENDENT  OF  ILLINOIS  MASONIC  HOME 

Sullivan,  Illinois,   September   30,    1921. 
To  the  Board  of  Managers  of  the  Illinois  Masonic  Home: 
Gentlemen  : 

I  herewith  submit  a  report  of  Home  conditions  since  the  first  of  Jan- 
uary, 1921,  the  date  when  I  took  charge.  At  the  time  I  came  here,  there 
was  considerable  sickness,  and  we  had  many  deaths  during  the  months  of 
January  and  February  and  in  the  early  spring.  Taken  as  a  whole,  health 
conditions  have  been  very  good  considering  the  physical  condition  and  the 
age  of   the  members. 

The  water  in  the  wells  and  the  reservoirs  has  been  fairly  good  in 
quality,  and  we  have  an  ample  supply  at  this  time.  We  discovered  a  leak 
in  the  sewer  system,  whereby  the  water  was  being  syphoned  from  the 
reservoir  into  the  creek  in  large  quantities,  and  the  same  was  immediately 
remedied.     Some  minor  repairs  are  needed  from  time  to  time. 

Religious  services  are  held  every  Sunday,  with  the  exception  of  July 
and  August,  during  which  time  we  held  five  services  in  two  months. 

Gil.  W.  Barnard  Commandery  of  Sullivan  held  their  Easter  services  at 
the  Home,  which  was  very  much  appreciated.  Brother  Mathers,  of  Chicago, 
gave  a  very  interesting  illustrated  lecture  one  evening  last  spring. 

We  are  all  very  appreciative  of  the  splendid  entertainments  given  by 
a  quartette  from  Danville  Consistory,  the  Patterson  Carnival  Company,  the 
Percy  Singers  and  Players,  the  Bushart  Concert  Company  and  Goforth's 
Orchestra  of  Bloomington,  all  of  which  was  gratis.  We  also  have  had 
two  fine  lectures  and  three  concerts  by  outside  talent,  which  was  paid  for 
out  of  the  Entertainment  Fund. 

On  Decoration  Day,  the  graves  of  the  deceased  members  in  the  Home 
cemetery  and  the  Sullivan  cemetery  were  decorated. 

On  the  4th  of  July  we  had  a  splendid  band  concert,  both  afternoon 
and  evening,  by  the  Sullivan  Band,  and  a  good  display  of  fireworks  at 
night,  which  was  greatly  enjoyed  by  the  members  and  employees  of  the 
Home,  besides  the  people  of  Sullivan  and  vicinity,  there  being  about  2,000 
on  the  grounds  and  adjoining  roads. 

All  holidays  were  celebrated  in  true  holiday  fashion.  During  the 
Chautauqua  season  a  goodly  number  of  our  people  attended  the  afternoon 
program  at  Sullivan,  and  a  few  in  the  evening. 

A  new  cream  separator  has  been  purchased,  and  a  new  grain  binder, 
and  a  ventilating  system  put  in  the  main  kitchen.  The  moving  picture 
machine  which  was  installed  last  January  furnishes  us  with  movies  once 
a  week,  and  is  a  fine  innovation  for  the  Home. 


1921]  Grand  Lodge  of  Illinois  119 

The  crops  on  the  farm  were  very  good  and  we  have  a  good  timothy 
hay  crop,  having  about  40  tons  of  the  hay  to  sell.  We  have  an  abundance 
of  good  pasture. 

We  sold  a  mixed  car  of  cattle  and  hogs  in  May,  and  a  couple  of  small 
bunches  of  hogs  since.  As  there  was  no  supply  of  feed  on  hand  the  first 
of  January,  we  had  to  buy  a  good  deal  of  hay  and  corn  during  the  spring 
to  tide  us  over.  As  we  do  not  have  a  large  amount  of  plow  land,  we  can 
hardly  raise  enough  to  feed  the  amount  of  stock  we  keep.  We  have  a 
nice  bunch  of  Holstein  heifers,  besides  the  dairy  herd,  also  a  nice  bunch 
of  spring  shoats  and  thirteen  head  of  Durham  and  Shorthorn  Steers, 
which  we  are  feeding  to  butcher  for  the  Home  use. 

You  will  notice  a  considerable  drop  in  the  value  of  the  farm  in- 
ventory, which  is  due  to  the  depreciation  in  market  prices  on  grain  and 
stock.  The  cattle  and  horses  have  been  inventoried  at  a  much  lower  value 
than  last  year.  The  inventory  this  year  was  taken  by  Brother  Mclntire 
and  Bay,  both  progressive  farmers  of  Sullivan,  and  values  made  at  what 
they  considered  a  fair  market  price. 

A  number  of  new  flower  beds  were  set  out  and  they  did  very  nicely 
this  summer.  This  fall  we  are  landscaping  and  getting  ready  to  set  out 
considerable  shrubbery,  etc.,  around  the  Home  and  hospital. 

The  rooms  and  halls  in  the  men 's  building  were  painted  last  winter  and 
spring,  and  all  of  the  interior  of  the  hospital.  We  are  sorry  to  say  that 
the  plaster  has  been  coming  off  quite  badly  in  several  of  the  hospital  rooms. 

On  the  whole,  conditions  among  the  members  and  throughout  the  Home 
are  very  good.

A.  E.  McCORVIE,

Oration 

Bro.  Leroy  A.  Goddard,  grand  orator,  delivered  the  an- 
nual oration.  A  rising  vote  of  thanks  w^as  given  the  orator 
and  it  was  ordered  printed  in  the  proceedings. 

M.W.  Grand  Master  and  Brethren  of  the  Grand  Lodge: 

The  consequent  chaotic  conditions  of  the  after  effects  of  war  and  a 
resultant  vibration  of  discontent  environ  us  yet  to  a  great  extent,  but  it  is 
tlie  same  world  that  a  few  years  ago  was  enjoying  prosperity  and  good  will 
among  men.  While  we  have  apparently  passed  through  the  night  of  destruc- 
tion, there  is  a  pressing  need  for  that  guidance  that  will  lead  us  aright  on 
into  the  morning  of  reconstruction,  and  this  is  Masonry's  opportunity;  so 
my  suggestions  to  you  at  this  time  are  on  the  subject  of 

Masonic  Leadership 
Tto  paramount  value  of  Masonic  Leadership  is  loyalty  to  God  and  to 
country,  obedience  to  law  and  the  constituted  authorities,  and  fealty  to 


1921]  Grand  Lodge  of  Illinois  133 

the  flag,  not  only  as  a  Masouie  obligation  but  as  a  zealous  impulse,  a  prin- 
ciple of  life,  fundamental  and  sacred,  incumbent  upon  every  individual 
Mason. 

It  is  estimated  that  the  world  war  exacted  from  all  countries  engaged 
over  three  hundred  forty-eight  billion  dollars,  and  forty-tJiree  million  lives, 
the  great  majority  of  which  were  young  men  between  the  ages  of  .twenty- 
two  and  forty-four  years.  The  war 's  problems  were  so  vital,  so  terrible  and 
came  so  thick  and  fast  that  the  slightest  reflection  now  causes  a  shudder, 
but  there  were  organized  activities  to  meet  them.  The  patriotic  appeal  was 
persistently  made  to  our  people.  Our  most  eloquent  orators  were  enlisted 
to  inspire  the  incentive  of  loyalty.  Organizations  everywhere  were  working 
with  zeal  and  energy,  and  back  of  all  this  was  the  real  fear  of  losing  our 
cause  and  probably  seeing  our  Government  perish  from  the  earth.  Let  me 
add  that  the  contributive  help  of  the  Masons  in  this  conflict  in  time,  labor, 
men  and  money  can  never  be  told  nor  known. 

Our  problems  did  not  cease,  however,  on  the  11th  day  of  November, 
1918,  when  the  armistice  was  signed,  after  we  had  successfully  met  the 
adversary  on  the  battlefield.  This  country  never  before  faced  peace  prob- 
lems as  serious  and  as  important  as  it  does  today,  and  these  must  be  met 
with  cool,  deliberative  and  sane  judgment,  and  by  the  constructive  work 
of  the  best  there  is  in  American  manhood.  Our  ideals  of  Government  and 
our  obligations  of  loyal  service  are  right  now  facing  a  supreme  test  in 
some  respects  more  trying  than  in  times  of  war.  Now,  we  are  literally 
infested  by  treacherous  cliques,  subtle  and  intriguing,  working  zealously 
and  constantly  to  bring  about  political,  social  and  industrial  destruction. 

Let  us  sink  it  deep  into  our  hearts  that  Masonry  and  patriotism  are 
synonjnmous  terms,  and  that  fealty  to  Masonry  recognizes  no  compromise 
with  treason  in  any  shape,  form  or  fashion,  but  demands  that  spirit  of 
patriotism  not  only  of  loyalty  to  the  flag  but  loyalty  also  to  the  high  ideals 
of  individual  citizenship. 

A  necessary  result  of  war  is  that  society  is  very  much  disturbed  and 
old  traditions  are  being  overthrown.  We  are  in  the  midst  of  an  effervescing 
state,  a  condition  of  unrest.  Labor  is  restless  and  capital  is  guessing. 
Radicals  are  spreading  the  false  doctrine  among  working  men  that  frugality 
and  industry  as  primary  virtues  are  old  fashioned  and  worn  out,  while  con- 
scienceless profiteers  and  financial  anarchists  bring  shame  to  honest  business 
men  seeking  fair  returns  for  their  capital  and  energy  through  legitimate 
business  methods.  It  is  absolutely  immoral  to  demand  a  full  day's  pay  for 
less  than  an  honest  day 's  work,  and  every  free,  law-abiding  American  citizen 
should  be  guaranteed  his  privilege  to  work  to  sustain  his  family  and  him- 
self and  educate  his  children,  piovided  the  work  is  honorable  and  the  pur- 
pose is  honorable  and  lawful.  It  is  equally  immoral  for  a  corporation  or 
trust  to  curtail  the  output  of  a  commodity  solely  to  harvest  increased  profits, 
and  he  is  more  guilty  who  refuses  just  and  equitable  remuneration  for  labor 


134  Proceedings  of  tlie  [October  12, 

solely  because  the  power  is  possessed  to  do  so.  If  by  some  process  we  could 
unfold  to  view  the  extent  of  crooked  leadership  and  graft  by  which  honest 
labor  and  legitimate  business  are  confronted,  our  amazement  and  our  shame- 
ful surprise  would  know  no  bounds. 

Deplorable  as  are  these  conditions,  their  importance  is  really  dwarfed 
by  the  proportion  of  brazen  disloyalty,- treason,  bolshevism,  I.  W.  W.-ism 
and  other  like  ' '  isms ' '  that  exist  all  around  us.  These  radicals  arc  per- 
mitted to  pursue  their  activities  of  proj^aganda  practically  unmolested. 
They  openly  attack  our  form  of  Government  and  our  American  institutions. 
We  are  told  that  there  are  two  million  bolshevists  or  communists  within  our 
borders,  a  number  equal  to  our  American  expeditionary  force  in  the  World 
War,  the  leaders  of  whom  believe  that  they  will  succeed  in  time,  not  only 
in  wrecking  our  Government,  but  in  overthrowing  practically  all  the  present 
organized  governments  of  the  world. 

There  is  but  one  attitude  for  Masons  to  take  toward  these  pernicious 
agencies,  these  fomentcrs  of  hatred.  The  loyal  citizen  must  set  his  face 
against  every  loose-tongucd  and  traitorous  agitator,  against  every  con- 
spirator against  our  Government  and  against  every  organization  that  seeks 
to  overthrow  law  and  that  defies  constituted  authority.  Nor  must  there  be 
any  compromise  with  those  who  for  financial  or  other  gain  will  passively 
acquiesce  in  the  activities  of  these  perfidious  schemers.  You  cannot  afford 
to  put  on  the  soft  pedal  or  to  be  non-committal.  Don 't  try  to  straddle. 
Don't  be  a  bat.  A  bat  is  neither  beast  nor  fowl,  consequently  it  is  the 
most  hated  by  both  and  has  no  friend  in  either.  I  have  as  much  respect 
for  the  outspoken  bolshevist  as  I  have  for  the  man  who  for  personal  or 
political  reasons  or  through  fear  fails  to  come  out  in  the  open  on  either 
side. 

Neither  is  this  a  question  of  wealth  or  of  poverty.  The  injustice  of 
wealth  is  a  convenient  excuse  even  for  some  of  our  college  professors  to 
preach  bolshevism.  Wealth  is  a  crime  if  gained  or  used  dishonorably. 
Wealth  is  honorable  if  acquired  by  honest  industry  and  frugality  and  if  it 
is  used  humanely.  How  could  we  have  colleges,  churches  or  libraries  with- 
out such  honorably  prosperous  men?  In  Chicago  alone,  multiplied  millions 
are  given  annually  to  feed  the  hungry,  house  the  poor  and  helpless,  care  for 
the  sick  and  educate  the  youth.  Shall  these  givers  be  condemned  because  by 
thrift  and  industry  they  are  sueceessfulf 

Laudable  ambition  is  not  a  crime;    honorable  success  is  not  a  curse. 

I  did  not  accept  this  appointment  as  Grand  Orator,  and  it  was  not  my 
intention  to  try  to  respond  until  just  recently  a  little  incident  gave  me 
the  theme.  Consequently  this  is  an  eleventh  hour  production.  I  asked  one 
of  our  leading  lawyers,  an  active  Mason,  what  he  considered  the  foremost 


1921]  Grand  Lodge  of  Illinois  135 

obligation  of  our  Fraternity.     His  quick  answer  was  that  "Masons  should 
be  loyal." 

We  are  told  that  in  this  Chicago  district  there  are  more  than  fifty 
thousand  Bolshevists,  Anarchists  and  I.  W.  W. 's  whose  determination  is 
to  overthrow  the  Government,  and  not  by  the  use  of  the  ballot  or  other 
legal  process.  Their  first  drive  apparently  was  to  destroy  not  property 
alone,  but  life,  if  necessary,  but  finding  such  extreme  radicalism  was  re- 
acting against  them  and  their  malicious  purposes,  they  are  now  resorting 
to  propaganda  work,  at  least  till  their  combative  strength  is  increased. 

Onr  Fraternity  has  a  membership  of  more  than  two  hundred  and 
thirty  thousand  in  Illinois,  nearly  one  hundred  and  twenty  thousand  in  Cook 
County;  men  of  education  and  social  influence,  and  men  who  have  been 
taught  loyalty  to  God  and  to  Country  in  every  step  of  their  Masonic 
advancement.  We  cannot  deny  being  fully  aware  of  this  danger  lurking 
in  our  midst — we  know  it.  Neither  can  we,  like  an  ostrich,  bury  our  heads 
and  think  we  arc  concealed  from  this  peril.  Then  with  law,  truth  and 
justice  on  our  side,  are  we  to  sulk  and  do  nothing?  Or,  shall  we  as  Masons 
be  true  to  our  obligations,  our  Fraternity  and  our  Country? 

We  have  two  and  one  half  million  Freemasons  in  the  United  States  who 
should  not  only  themselves  be  loyal  but  who  can  be  a  tremendous  power 
in  offsetting  pernicious  propaganda  by  persistent  constructive  propaganda. 
In  other  words  the  call  is  for  Masonic  leadership  to  put  in  force  our  united 
co-operative  strength  against  this  danger  that  overhangs  us,  by  our  own 
individual  acts  and  teachings,  and  by  creating  such  a  sentiment  as  will 
compel  those  in  power  to  recognize  the  force  and  strength  that  we  represent. 
It  is  a  responsibility  we  ought  to  cmlirace,  certainly  not  try  to  evade.  It 
is  not  only  a  question  of  enforcing  law,  but  more  largely  of  moral  leader- 
ship. A  citizen  may  violate  a  law  in  an  unguarded  moment  or  by  mis- 
guided judgment.  He  may  commit  a  crime  in  a  heat  of  passion.  That  does 
not  mean  that  he  seeks  to  destroy  the  law.  Jean  val  Jean  was  a  victim  of 
circumstances,  and  not  at  heart  a  criminal.  There  can  be  no  mitigating 
circumstances  to  the  individual  who  deliberately  seeks  to  destroy  Gov- 
ernment. 

Legislation  has  no  monopoly  on  the  road  to  morality.  The  heart  of 
the  world  is  not  wicked,  and  the  intelligence  of  the  world  is  not  on  the 
decline.  I  have  always  been  an  optimist  on  humanity.  I  believe  men  of 
intelligence,  especially  those  who  compose  this  great  Fraternity,  deep  down 
in  their  souls  desire  the  highest,  the  best  and  the  purest  there  is  in  life. 
In  other  words,  there  is  that  divine  spark  within  the  soul  of  every  sensible 
man  that  will  respond  to  these  suggestions  if  presented  from  true  hearts 
with  sincere  motives. 

It  is  didicult  to  comprehend  the  responsibility  of  leadership.  If  I  can 
only  faintly  impress  upon  the  twelve  hundred  here  today — leaders  of  the 


136  Proceedings  of  the  [October  12, 

Masons  in  Illinois — the  gravity  of  their  position,  it  will  be  a  well  paid 
effort.  The  world  is  moved  by  leadership.  Even  that  conscience  which 
makes  cowards  of  iis  all  can  be  molded  by  leadership. 

"\Miile  travelling  recently  in  the  occupied  territory  of  Germany  I 
noticed  right  along  the  highways  in  the  open  miles  and  miles  of  fruit  trees 
full  of  blossoms  and  of  young  fruit.  I  was  informed  that  the  trees  were 
planted,  cared  for  and  protected  by  the  Government  for  the  benefit  of  the 
poor;  that  the  people  never  disturbed  the  fruit  but  entered  into  cheerful 
co-operation  in  protecting  it  for  the  purposes  intended.  The  fruit  was 
apportioned  to  the  poor  according  to  their  needs.  Surely  a  beautiful  spirit 
influenced  by  environment  and  constructive  leadership.  We  are  told  that 
the  German  government  even  now  is  in  advance  of  the  rest  of  the  world 
in  making  provision  for  disabled  veterans.  And  yet,  leaving  Brussels  for 
Paris,  it  was  most  depressing  to  see  acres  and  acres  of  fruit  trees  that  had 
been  cut  down  at  the  very  roots  to  prevent  them  ever  again  furnishing  fruit 
even  to  feed  the  helpless  widows  and  orphans  that  the  war  had  made.  Not 
only  that,  but  railroads  and  depots  had  been  blown  up  and  some  of  the 
world's  finest  cathedrals  shelled  into  rubbish.  Will  a  civilized  world  ever 
forget  such  malicious  vandalism,  such  infamous  leadership? 

In  my  earlier  life  I  superintended  a  Sunday  School,  and  it  was  a  good 
investment.  Among  the  many  lessons  that  were  indelibly  impressed  on  my 
mind,  I  remember  one  most  distinctly.  It  was  the  story  of  the  disciples  at 
sea.  It  made  a  great  point  with  me  that  they  were  ' '  at  sea, ' '  an  expression 
that  has  grown  with  the  ages.  Darkness  came;  they  were  at  sea  and  in 
the  dark.  They  didn't  know  what  to  do  in  the  dark.  And  a  heavy  wind 
came,  they  were  tossed  about  and  they  were  afraid.  Of  course,  they  were 
afraid.  Well,  what  happened.  They  heard,  heard  the  still  small  voice  of 
the  Nazarene,  still,  small,  but  they  heard  it, — "It  is  I,  be  ye  not  afraid." — 
and  they  immediately  landed  in  safety. 

A  great  portion  of  the  world  is  at  sea — ^the  old  boat  is  being  storm 
tossed  and  badly  rocked.  Justice  is  receiving  some  hard  jolts,  and  patriotism 
is  almost  caught  up  in  the  waves.  Anxious,  willing  workmen  are  more  or 
less  in  confusion,  and  legitimate  labor  organizations  have  their  problems 
with  crafty  agitators  and  cunning  schemers  that  invade  their  ranks.  Lawful 
capital  is  nervous  and  on  a  tension.  The  wave  of  crime  sweeping  over  the 
country,  monopolizing  the  big  headlines  of  the  daily  press,  is  appalling. 
But  don't  desert  the  ship,  trust  in  the  sanity  of  her  leaders  ^.nd  be  un- 
afraid. God  reigns  and  our  flag  is  yet  the  flag  of  the  people.  Listen  to 
that  still,  small  voice  of  conscience  that  comes  from  the  brain  of  business 
sense  and  is  prompted  by  the  heart  of  Masonic  justice,  and  obey  its  dic- 
tates. The  responsibility  is  upon  us,  and  we  have  never  yet  failed  to 
make  good. 


1921]  Grand  Lodge  of  Illinois  137 

When  motoring  through  the  battlefields  of  France  we  passed  through 
several  cities  that  had  been  almost  totally  demolished  by  German  soldiers 
and  occupied  by  them  until  our  American  boys  arrived  on  the  scene  and 
retook  them.  Some  of  the  places  were  so  completely  destroyed  that  there 
was  not  even  a  chimney  left  in  some  entire  blocks.  On  the  journey  we  were 
forcibly  reminded  that  our  own  United  States  had  given  much  tJiat  was  of 
more  value  than  money.  This  reminder  was  contained  in  the  American 
cemeteries,  marked  by  the  white  crosses  where  the  remains  of  our  men 
were  buried,  and  suspended  in  the  centre  would  be  the  American  flag.  I 
shall  always  remember  especially  with  patriotic  emotion  the  cemetery  at 
Belleaiii  Woods  where  the  names  of  twenty-eight  hundred  of  our  men  are 
marked  on  the  white  crosses.  I  think  it  is  the  most  beautiful  cemetery  I 
have  ever  seen.  Here  were  evidences  most  convincing  that  had  it  not 
been  for  our  forces  in  Prance  or  had  their  arrival  been  delayed  even  a  few 
days,  the  result  of  the  war  might  have  been  disastrous  to  us  along  with  the 
other  allied  countries,  and  the  American  flag  hauled  down  at  the  dictation 
of  the  Kaiser. 

Listen  to  this  message  from  our  wounded  service  men  in  their  con- 
vention just  held  recently  in  Detroit;  among  other  resolutions  I  quote  as 
follows :  ' '  Any  attempt  by  force  upon  the  institutions  of  our  Government 
and  the  flag  of  our  country  will  be  met  with  force,  if  necessary,  by  all 
patriotic  veterans.  The  government  of  this  republic  will  be  maintained  at 
any  cost,  and  there  will  be  tolerated  but  one  flag,  our  national  emblem. ' ' 

It  was  this  spirit  of  patriotic  manhood  of  which  General  Foch  spoke 
on  July  4th  last  when  he  said : 

"In  the  long  war  that  the  free  nations  had  to  fight  against 
the  oppressors  of  the  right,  the  direct  participation  of  America 
lasted  only  a  short  period,  but  to  the  American  nation  is  due  the 
glory  of  having  thrown  herself  wholly  into  the  struggle  at  the 
decisive  moment  and,  in  order  to  insure  victory,  to  have  made  in 
every  branch  of  the  national  activity  an  unparalleled  effort. 

' '  Her  army,  too,  so  quickly  here  from  so  far  away,  showed  from 
the  first  incomparable  qualities  of  spirit,  courage  and  heroism. 

'  *  America  rushed  with  all  her  youthful  ardor  into  the  vast 
turmoil  of  the  battle,  and  thus  contributed  mightily  to  the  victory 
of  right  and  liberty. 

"She  has  generously  given  her  blood  to  the  common  cause; 
75,000  of  her  children,  dead  on  the  soil  of  France,  testify  to  this 
in  an  undying  way. 

"Glory  to  these  dead!  Glory  to  the  American  army!  Glory  to 
the  American  people!" 

Now  let  me  quote  from  Theodore  Eoosevclt's  "Last  Plea  for 
Americanism ' ' : 

"We  have  room  for  but  one  flag,  the  American  flag,  and  this 
excludes  the  red  flag.  We  have  room  for  but  one  sound  loyalty,  and 
that  is  loyalty  to.  the  American  people. ' ' 


138  Proceedings  of  the  [October  12, 

Civilization  lias  been  dealt  a  terrible  blow,  and  is  yet  in  a  restless 
unsettled  state,  more  or  less  at  sea,  storm  tossed  and  in  the  dark,  but  we 
are  not  lost.  We  need  balance  wheels,  and  it  is  incumbent  upon  the  Masonic 
fraternity  to  maintain  a  leading  part  in  that  responsibility.  My  optimistic 
faith  tells  me  that  in  time  the  consciences  of  our  men  and  women  will 
awaken  to  the  call  of  unselfish  endeavor  and  constructive  effort,  and  that 
the  great  truths  of  civilization  will  prevail  because  they  must  prevail.  Let 
us  hold  tenaciously  to  that  faith  which  trusts  in  the  fundamental  righteous- 
ness of  our  people,  and  the  pendulum  of  safety  and  sanity  will  again 
swing  back  to  law,  to  justice  and  to  loyal  citizenship.

To  the  Most  Worshipful  Grand  Lodge  Ancient  Free  and  Accepted  Masons 

of  the  State  of  Illinois: 

The  undersigned  Committee  on  New  Legislation  to  whom  was  referred 
the  amendment  "proposed  by  Bro.  Wni.  H.  Beckman  to  code  No.  149  of  the 
Grand  Lodge  By-laws,  fraternally  recommends  that  the  proposed  amend-

Report — ^Committee  on  Jurisprudence 

Wm.  B.  Wright,  chairman  of  the  Committee  on  Jurispru- 
dence, presented  the  following  report.     It  was  adopted. 

To  the  Most  Worsliipful  Grand  Master,  Wardens  and  Brethren: 

Your  Committee  on  Jurisprudeucc  to  ^Yllich  have  been  referred  several 
matters  treated  of  in  the  report  of  the  most  worshipful  grand  master  beg 
leave  to  report  as  follows: 

Charter  Arrested 

In  regard  to  arresting  the  charter  of  Henderson  Lodge  No.  820 — 

When  certain  charges  were  first  preferred  against  a  member  of  that 
lodge  they  were  accepted  by  the  unanimous  vote  of  those  present  at  the 
meeting.  A  commission  was  appointed  to  try  the  case.  The  commission 
found  the  preliminary  steps  specified  in  the  code  had  not  been  taken  and 
that  jurisdiction  had  not  been  acquired,  hence  the  charges  were  dismissed. 
New  charges  were  at  once  jireferrcd,  the  preliminary  steps  were  taken,  and 
when  the  next  vote  was  had  the  charges  were  rejected  by  unanimous  vote. 
The  matter  was  presented  to  the  most  worshipful  grand  master  and  after 
investigation  he  felt  there  should  be  a  trial  on  the  charges,  and  addressed 
the  following  letter  of  August  24,  1921,  to  the  lodge  through  the  secretary: 

"Referring  to  the  case  of  Henderson  Lodge  No.  820  vs.  Frank  S. 
Stewart,  I  am  informed  that  Brother  Stewart  has  petitioned  your  lodge 
for  a  dimit.  In  view  of  the  fact  that  another  set  of  charges  have  been 
preferred  against  Brother  Stewart  which  are  now  on  file  in  this  office  you 
will  not  issue  the  dimit  as  applied  for  until  further  notice." 

On  August  31,  1921,  the  most  worshipful  grand  master  again  wrote 
the  lodge  as  follows: 

"I  am  enclosing  herewith  charges  preferred  by  Bro.  Charles  T.  Sprague, 
Master  Mason  in  good  standing  and  affiliated  with  DeWitt  Lodge  No.  84 
of  Clinton,  against  Bro.  Franz  Sigel  Stewart,  commonly  known  as  Frank  S. 
Stewart.  You  will  send  out  notices  to  the  lodge  in  this  connection  and  it 
is  ordered  that  the  charges  at  the  proper  time  be  accepted  by  the  lodge." 

Notwithstanding  these  explicit  directions  from  the  most  worshipful 
grand  master,  the  lodge  met  September  17,  1921,  and  as  shown  by  the 
records,  the  letter  of  August  31,  above  cpiotcd,  was  read  in  full.  The 
record  continues — 

"The  master  gave  notice  that  a  secret  ballot  woidd  be  taken,  on 
accepting  the  charges   and   Brother   Stewart  placed   on   trial. 

A  vote  was  taken  with  the  following  result:  three  for  accepting  the 
charges  and  sixteen  against  accepting,  and  one  blank  ballot.  The  master 
ordered   a  second  vote  to  be  taken,  with  the  following  result:    three  for 


140  Proceedings  of  the  [October  12, 

accepting  the  charges  aud  seventeen  against  accepting  them.  The  master 
then  declared  the  charges  rejected  by  this  lodge." 

In  the  minutes  of  the  same  meeting  we  find  the  following: 

' '  The  application  of  Bro.  Franz  Sigel  Stewart  for  dimit  laid  over 
from  the  last  meeting,  was  taken  np,  and  his  dues  being  paid  and  no 
charges  pending,  the  master  directed  the  secretary  to  issue  the  dimit. ' ' 

In  view  of  this  record  your  committee  is  of  opinion  that  the  action  of 
the  most  worshipful  grand  master  in  suspending  the  charter  of  the  lodge 
was  amply  justified  and  should  be  sustained.  This  most  worshipful  grand 
lodge  is  sovereign  and  when  it  is  not  in  session  the  most  worshipful  grand 
master  exercises  its  executive  functions.  The  function  of  an  executive  is 
to  see  that  the  law  is  enforced  and  obeyed.  When  the  most  worshipful 
grand  lodge  through  its  most  worshipful  grand  master  orders  that  charges 
against  a  brother  be  accepted  by  a  lodge  there  is  no  occasion  for  any  one 
to  vote  upon  that  question.  A  record  should  be  made  showing  the  charges 
accepted  by  order  of  the  most  worshipful  grand  master. 

If  a  constituent  lodge  has  power  by  a  vote  of  its  members  to  set 
aside  or  defy  the  order  of  the  most  worshipful  grand  master;  if  through 
a  spirit  of  rebellion  or  a  mistaken  or  exaggerated  notion  of  its  rights  a 
lodge  can  evade,  ignore  or  set  aside  the  orders  and  commands  of  the  high- 
est officer  of  the  most  worshipful  grand  lodge,  then  this  most  worshipful 
grand  lodge  may  as  well  surrender  its  sovereignty  and  dissolve,  leaving 
every  lodge  and  every  individual  member  free  to  act  without  legal  restraint 
or  control. 

We  recommend  not  only  that  the  action  of  the  most  worshipful  grand 
master  in  this  case  be  sustained,  but  as  a  further  measure  of  discipline 
the  charter  of  Henderson  Lodge  No.  840,  aud  its  functions  remain  suspended 
until  June  1,  1922,  and  that  during  the  period  of  suspension  its  affairs  be 
administered  as  specified  in  Code  No.  678. 

Master  Deposed 

As  stated  by  the  most  worshipful  grand  master,  this  committee  re- 
viewed the  record  made  by  the  trial  commission  and  was  of  the  opinion 
that  the  finding  by  a  majority  of  the  committee  that  the  defendant  was 
guilty  was  supported  by  the  evidence.  We  so  reported  and  the  master  was 
deposed. 

The  facts  were  briefly  as  follows:  The  defendant  while  on  the  back 
porch  of  the  house  of  an  acquaintance  located  about  one  mile  from  his  own 
house  and  while  on  or  near  a  step-ladder  directly  under  a  bedroom  window, 
was  shot  in  the  arm  by  some  one  in  the  bedroom  above  him,  after  which  he 
fled,  and  carried  the  step-ladder  with  him  and  placed  it  in  the  barn  some 
distance  from  the  house.  He  attempted  to  conceal  the  incident  and  when  it 
became  known,  confessed  to  being  there  and  to  being  shot  as  above  stated. 


1921]  Grand  Lodge  of  Illinois  141 

His  attempted  explanation  that  he  came  on  the  premises  because  he  saw 
a  prowler  there  who  had  escaped  at  his  approach  and  that  he  was  shot 
while  standing  near  the  ladder  waiting  to  see  if  the  prowler  would  re- 
turn, did  not  appeal  to  your  committee  as  a  credible  explanation  nor  was 
it  at  all  satisfying  to  the  brother  who  acted  as  his  counsel  at  the  taking 
of  the  testimony. 

We  recommend  that  the  action  of  the  most  worshipful  grand  master 
in  deposing  said  master  be  approved  and  that  he  be  not  restored  as  master 
during  the  time  for  which  he  was  elected. 

Payment  of  Costs 

The  most  worshipful  grand  master  requested  this  committee  to  con- 
strue Code  No.  1009,  and  give  an  opinion  as  to  who  should  pay  the  costs 
in  above  case.  We  were  and  are  of  the  opinion  that  the  lodge  and  not 
the  accuser  should  be  required  to  pay  the  costs.  The  accusers  made  a  com- 
plaint to  the  most  worshipful  grand  master  regarding  the  worshipful  mas- 
ter of  Meteor  Lodge  No.  283.  The  most  worshipful  grand  master,  follow- 
ing the  provisions  of  Code  No.  1008,  deemed  the  matter  of  a  sufficiently 
grave  character  to  warrant  investigation,  and  he  proceeded  as  in  that  code 
provided  and  sought,  through  a  commission,  an  investigation  of  the  facts 
and  such  report  and  such  opinion  as  would  enable  him  to  make  a  final 
decision. 

We  did  not  think  the  most  worshipful  grand  lodge  intended,  by  the 
adoption  of  Code  1009,  to  provide  that  any  one  who  called  attention  to 
the  delinquencies  of  a  worshipful  master  should  be  required  to  pay  the 
costs  of  any  investigation  ordered  by  the  most  worshipful  grand  master 
to  enable  him  to  make  a  final  decision,  nor  did  we  think  the  language  of 
this  code  could  properly  be  so  construed. 

If  such  was  the  intention  or  if  the  language  bears  such  construction, 
masters  of  lodges  would  be  immune  from  discipline  no  matter  how  culpable 
their  conduct,  because  few  Masons  if  any,  can  afford  to  make  themselves 
personally  responsible  for  a  bill  of  costs  in  a  matter  in  which  they  have 
no  personal  interest,  different  from  or  greater  than  the  interest  of  every 
other  Mason  who  desires  that  Masonic  law  be  vindicated  and  its  violation 
punished. 

This  in  substance  was  our  opinion  as  given  to  the  most  worshipful 
grand  master,  and  upon  which  he  acted  in  ordering  the  lodge  to  pay  the 
costs.

To  the  Most  Worshipful  Grand  Lodge  Ancient  Free  and  Accepted  Masons 

of  the  State  of  Illinois: 

Your  Committee  on  Finance,  as  in  the  past  two  years,  have  had  the

To  the  Finance  Comimittce  of  the  Most  Worshipful  Grand  Lodge,  Ancient 

Free  and  Accepted  Masons  of  the  State  of  Illinois: 
Brethren : 

You  have  again  afforded  me  the  privilege  of  serving  our  grand  lodge 
by  examining  the  books,  accounts,  records  and  vouchers  of  the  same  in  the 
offices  of  the  grand  secretary  at  Camp  Point  and  the  grand  treasurer  at 
the  State  Bank  of  Chicago,  which  were  found  to  be  correct  and  in  accord 
with  the  conditions.  All  the  funds  are  intact  and  the  securities  in  the 
shape  of  bonds  and  stock  certificates  are  in  the  possession  of  our  grand 
treasurer  whose  assistant  displayed  them  to  me.  I  noted  that  all  coupons 
for  interest  due  had  been  detached  and  collected  and  those  covering  inter- 
est not  yet  due  still  attached  to  the  bonds. 

Through  the  forethought  of  our  grand  treasurer's  assistant,  there 
arc  no  vouchers  outstanding,  all  checks  issued  have  been  cashed,  and  the 
balances  reported  by  him  in  his  report  are  in  accord  with  the  balances 
shown  by  the  liooks  of  our  grand  secretary.

seconded  by  representatives  of  more  than  twenty  lodges  and 
were  so  referred.

Amend  code  349  by  striking  it  out. 

Amend  code  351  to  read  code  349. 


Amendments  Proposed 

Bro.  A.  F.  Hooper,  Utopia  Lodge  No.  894,  presented  the 
following  resolution.  It  was  referred  to  the  Committee  on 
Finance  and  the  Board  of  Managers  of  the  Orphans  Home 
at  LaGrange,  with  instructions  to  report  at  the  next  session 
of  grand  lodge. 

-  Whereas,  it  is  deemed  advisable  that  action  should  be  taken  to  assure, 
as  far  as  possible,  the  retention  of  members  of  the  Illinois  Masonic  Or- 
phans' Home  in  said  Home  until  they  respectively  arrive  at  the  age  of 
eighteen  years  to  enable  them  to  receive  such  education  and  training  as 
may  best  fit  them  to  be  self-sustaining  and  self-reliant; 

Now,  Therefore  Be  It  Hesolved,  by  the  Most  Worshipful  Grand  Lodge 
of  Ancient  Free  and  Accepted  Masons  of  the  State  of  Illinois,  that  the 
Board  of  Managers  of  the  Illinois  Masonic  Orphans '  Home  shall  be  and 
they  are  hereby  authorized  and  empowered  to  make,  pass  or  adopt  such

Report — George  Washington  Memorial 

Bro.  Owen  Scott,  State  Chairman  of  the  George  Washing- 
ton Masonic  Memorial  Association,  made  the  following  report 
and  asked  that  it  be  printed  in  the  proceedings.  It  was  so  or- 
dered. 

To  the  Most  Worshipful  Grand  Lodge,  Ancient  Free  and  Accepted  Masons 

of  the  State  of  Illinois: 

During  the  past  year  the  Avork  of  soliciting  for  the  George  Wash- 
ington Masonic  National  Memorial  Association  has  been  practically  com- 
pleted. From  the  grand  treasurer,  to  whom  all  remittances  have  been  made, 
it  is  learned  that  the  amount  in  his  hands  credited  to  this  fund  October  1, 
1921,  is  $71,459.58.  This  is  in  keeping  with  other  grand  lodges,  although 
many  of  them  have  exceeded  this  sum.  A  recent  letter  from  Bro.  Louis 
A.  Watres,  president  of  the  association,  says: 

"We  have  been  most  fortunte  indeed  that  the  brethren  of  your  great 
jurisdiction  have  seen  the  vision  of  the  deeply  significant  work  we  have  in 
hand.  Your  most  worshipful  grand  master,  Brother  Fitzgerrell,  has  been 
a  real  inspiration  to  our  work,  and  enough  cannot  lie  said  of  the  great 
as-sistance  which  was  given  by  our  lamented  Brother  Scrogin.  You,  per- 
tonally,  not  only  by  your  intelligent  organization,  but  by  your  presence  and 
counsel  at  our  meetings,  have  been  an  inestimable  help. ' ' 

From  the  sums  paid  and  pledged  by  grand  lodges.  Brother  Watres  feels 
assured  that  the  actual  work  of  construction  will  begin  early  in  1922.  The 
sum  now  actually  in  sight  approaches  One  Million  Dollars.  The  goal  of 
$1.00  for  each  Mason  in  the  United  States  will  make  about  $2,300,000.00. 
It  is  confidently  believed  by  those  in  charge  of  the  campaign  that  this  sum 
will  be  realized. 

Three  different  firms  of  architects  have  gone  over  the  site  separately 
and  unanimously  agree  on  the  Colonial  style  of  architecture.  This  seems 
fitting  as  the  great  Memorial  is  to  stand  on  Virginia  soil.  It  is  now  the 
purpose  of  the  Memorial  Association  to  let  the  contracts  as  early  as  pos- 
sible so  that  the  corner-stone  can  be  laid  as  soon  next  spring  as  weather 
conditions  will  permit.  .  It  is  hoped  that  the  Grand  Master  of  Virginia  can 
secure  the  President  of  the  United  States,  Bro.  Warren  G.  Harding,  as 
his  proxy  to  officiate  at  the  ceremonies  of  laying  the  corner-stone. 

The  plan  is  to  make  this  a  great  day  for  Masonry  in  America.  Every 
Mason  will  feel  a  justifiable  pride  in  this  great  achievement.  As  I  close 
my  work  as  chairman  for  Illinois,  it  is  with  much  pleasure  that  I  thank 
nil  for  their  assistance.  It  is  a  real  privilege  to  express  my  appreciation 
of  the  very  valuable  services  of  the  district  deputy  grand  masters  through- 
out the  state,  without  whom  this  work  could  not  have  been  accomplished. 

Fraternally  submitted, 

Owen  Scott, 

State  Chairman. 


148  Proceedings  of  the  [October  12, 

Report — Committee  on  Obituaries 

Bro.  Jas.  K.  Lambert  presented  the  report  of  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  : 

Life  has  been  styled  a  pilgrimage,  and  perhaps  no  term  is  more  ex- 
pressive of  its  trials,  hopes  and  fears;  its  joys  and  sorrows.  In  its  several 
stages — youth,  manhood,  and  age — life  is  changing  and  uncertain.  The 
pilgrimage  leads  through  a  region  of  varied  aspects — over  a  way  checkered 
with  good  and  evil,  under  skies  of  sunshine  and  shadows,  and  along  a 
pathway  where  lie  in  wait  danger,  disease  and  accident. 

Man  is  indeed  a  pilgrim  in  company  with  his  fellows,  differing  in 
thought,  customs  and  speech,  yet  all  having  in  mind  the  same  goal — eternity; 
separated  by  diverse  opinions  as  to  religion  and  all  questions  coming  within 
the  range  of  their  daily  lives,  yet  sharing  the  belief  in  a  future  life — 
the  hope  of  immortality,  God's  sweetest  gift  to  man. 

All  plan  to  live  many  years.  Some  leave  the  pilgrimage  at  an  early 
age;  others  in  the  midst  of  a  busy  practical  life.  A  few  reach  the  Scrip- 
tural limitation,  and  occasionally  one  by  reason  of  strength  attains  to  the 
age  of  four  score  years.    In  any  event,  the  time  of  life  is  short. 

The  journey  is  interesting  and  even  joyous  to  many,  wearisome  at  times 
perhaps  to  all;  yet,  however  long  or  short,  joyful  or  sad  the  journey  may 
be,  there  are  happy  haltings  along  the  travelway  of  life  where  people  gather 
together  to  review  the  past  and  to  plan  for  the  future;  to  interchange 
friendly  greetings  and  to  resolve  on  new  endeavors;  to  refresh  themselves 
and  renew  their  vigor  for  the  journey  onward.  These  are  the  waymarks 
along  the  highway  of  life,  and  to  such  a  place  are  we  gathered  to-day  for 
a  brief  period  of  conference. 

In  our  deliberations  we  have  paused  to  pay  loving  tribute  to  the  worth 
and  work  of  our  many  brethren  who  since  the  last  meeting  of  this  grand 
lodge  have  quit  the  pilgrimage,  laid  down  their  working  tools,  and  entered 
into  life  eternal.  Let  us  for  a  time  reflect  upon  their  lives,  and  enjoy 
again — in  recollection — the  sweet  fragrance  of  their  characters. 

Isaac  Cuttek 

Bro.  Isaac  Cutter  was  born  at  Elmwood,  Illinois,  January  20,  1854, 
and  died  at  Blessing  Hospital,  Quincy,  Illinois,  June  15,  1921.  He  was 
made  a  Mason  in  Benjamin  Lodge  No.  297  at  Camp  Point,  October,  1892; 
was  commissioned  grand  lecturer  in  1898;    became  a  member  of  the  Board

of  Grand  Examiners  in  1900,  and  was  elected  grand  secretary  in  1906. 
Brother  Cutter  received  the  Chapter  degrees  in  Camp  Point  Chapter  in 
1893,  serving  as  High  Priest  in  1899,  and  the  Council  degrees  in  Bloora- 
ington  Council  in  1906.  He  became  a  Knight  Templar  in  Delta  Command- 
ery  in  1910.  He  was  a  member  of  Quincy  Consistory,  and  was  made  a 
33rd  degree  Mason  in  1915. 

Brother  Cutter  was  also  a  member  of  Acasia  Fraternity  at  the  Uni- 
versity, of  Hlinois,  the  Masonic  Veterans'  Association,  and  of  the  Grand 
Secretaries'  Guild  of  the  United  States. 

Perhaps  the  death  of  no  Mason  in  the  great  State  of  Illinois  could 
have  been  more  keenly  felt,  more  deeply  and  sincerely  mourned,  than  that 
of  Isaac  Cutter.  His  passing  is  like  the  falling  of  a  great  tree  in  the  forest 
of  life.  As  a  public  school  teacher,  as  a  clerk  in  the  railway  mail  service, 
as  a  prominent  churchman  and  Mason,  and  as  a  man  active  in  all  civic 
matters  of  his  Country  and  State,  he  came  to  know  intimately  many  people. 
His  spirit  was  made  genial  by  real  affection  for  his  fellow  beings  and  he 
became  nobly  sympathetic  through  his  varied  personal  experiences.  .  He  was 
generous,  never  failing  to  respond  to  every  worthy  appeal.  Ho  helped  to 
build  up  his  community,  strengthening  every  good  work  with  his  energy  and 
money.  He  steadied  those  about  him  who  faltered;  he  lifted  up  those 
who  fell;  he  went  on  in  his  own  quiet  way  without  boasting  and  without 
display;  he  shared  unselfishly  with  all  about  him  every  rich  gift  of  mind 
and  heart  with  which  he  was  endowed.  He  was,  in  heart,  a  true  Mason, 
to  whom  "every  child  of  sorrow  was  a  brother;  self  was  the  only  being 
that  seemed  by  him  forgot." 

' '  Calm  on  the  bosom  of  thy  God 
Fair  Spirit,  rest  thee  now! 
E  'en  while  with  ours  thy  footsteps  trod 
His  seal  was  on  they  brow. 
Dust,  to  its  narrow  house  beneath! 
Soul,  to  its  place  on  high!" 

Berthold  E.  Uebele 

Berthold  E.  Uebele,  District  Deputy  Grand  Master  of  the  Second  Dis- 
trict, died  June  6,  1921,  aged  fifty  years.  "Bert,"  as  we  have  loved  to 
call  him,  was  a  member  of  Dearborn  Lodge  No.  310,  and  of  various  other 
Masonic  bodies.  He  was  much  interested  in  the  Illinois  Masonic  Hospital 
Association,  actively  engaged  in  promoting  its  interests,  and  was  at  the 
time  of  his  death  first  vice-president  of  that  organization. 

In  the  death  of  Brother  Uebele  there  passes  from  time  to  eternity  a 
splendid  Mason  and  a  representative  citizen.  Capable  and  efficient  in  every 
detail  of  Masonic  matters,  he  always  did  his  work  exceptionally  well  and 


150  Proceedings  of  the  [October  12, 

in  a  most  plcasiug  manner.  In  all  his  dealings  he  was  generous  and  kind- 
hoaitcd,  ever  ready  to  extend  a  helping  hand.  His  genial  personality  won 
quickly  the  admiration  of  all  who  met  him,  and  his  never-ending  interest 
in  all  those  with  Mhom  he  was  associated  endeared  him  to  every  one.  Cut 
down  in  the  prime  of  his  days,  his  death  is  particularly  sad;  yet  his  life 
stands  as  an  example  of  the  truth  that — 

"We  live  in  deeds,  not  years;    in  thoughts,  not  breaths; 
In  feelings,  not  in  figures  on  a  dial ; 
We  should  count  time  by  heart-throbs.     He  most  lives, 
"Who  thinks  most,  feels  the  noblest,  acts  the  best." 

The  writer  know  Brother  Uebele  intimately,  and  mourns  his  death  as 
he  would  sorrow  for  the  passing  to  the  Better  Land  of  one  of  his  own 
kindred. 

Henry  E.  Hopkins 

Bro.  Henry  Eiddle  Hopkins,  while  returning  to  his  home  from  a  Ma- 
sonic gathering  on  August  30,  1921,  was  struck  by  a  truck  and  fatally 
injured.  He  passed  away  the  following  day — a  forcerul  reminder  that 
' '  in  the  riiidst  of  life  we  are  in  death. ' ' 

Brother  Hopkins  was  a  member  of  Dearborn  Lodge  No.  310,  and  for 
a  long  time  had  been  prominent  in  the  activities  of  various  Masonic  bodies. 
For  several  years  immediately  preceding  his  death  he  was  Chaplain  of 
Van  Rensselaer  Lodge  of  Perfection,  and  for  nineteen  years  he  was  Grand 
Chaplain  of  the  Grand  Council  of  Illinois.  Although  nearing  his  SSth 
birthday,  he  was  a  frequent  attendant  at  Masonic  meetings,  and  was  ever 
ready  and  willing  to  render  any  service.  Only  an  hour  or  two  before  the 
fatal  accident  he  stood  at  the  banquet  table  among  his  brethren  and  pro- 
nounced the  invocation.  He  was  in  tine  spirits,  looking  forward  in  happy 
anticipation  to  the  several  meetings  of  grand  bodies  of  Masons  this  fall, 
and  in  his  kindly  way,  remarked: 

"Grow  old  along  with  me! 
The  best  is  yet  to  be. 
The  best  of  life,  for  which  the  first  was  made." 

Clinton  L.  Sandusky 

Brother  Clinton  L.  Sandusky,  one  of  the  most  useful  Masons  of  Illinois, 
passed  away  Friday,  August  26,  1921. 

Clinton  L.  Sandusky  was  born  in  Catlin,  Illinois,  September  30,  1871. 
Was  married  to  Miss  Sarah  Marble  of  Danville,  Illinois,  October  5,  1892, 
and  died  at  his  home  1009  North  A^prmillion  Street,  Danville,  Illinois,  August 
2(),  1921,  leaving  his  wife  and  son,  Clinton  L.  Sandusky,  Jr.,  age  11  years. 


1921]  Grand  Lodge  of  Illinois  151 

Brother  Sandusky  received  the  Symbolic  degrees  iu  Fairniouiit  Lodge 
No.  590  in  1892. 

He  was  elected  Master  of  Olive  Branch  Lodge  No.  38  in  June,  1904, 
and  served  one  year.  Soon  after  he  was  appointed  D.  D.  G.  M.  for  the 
Masonic  District  and  served  eleven  years,  following  that,  he  became  a 
member  of  the  Committee  on  Lodges  under  Dispensation. 

One  of  the  chief  characteristics  of  Brother  C.  L.  Sandusky  was  force. 
He  was  a  great  organizer,  consequently  a  great  business  man,  and  a  great 
executive  in  any  capacity.  Once  his  mind  was  made  up,  he  would  follow 
a  definite  course  regardless  of  the  consequences.  To  this  enthusiasm  his 
large  success  was  due. 

No  man  had  a  warmer  heart,  or  a  more  cordial  hand.  Clint  Sandusky 
loved  his  friends,  and  was  never  so  happy  as  when  entertaining  them  in  his 
beautiful   home. 

During  the  past  year  one  hundred  sixty-eight  other  masters  and  past 
masters  of  Illinois  and  twenty-six  past  grand  officers  of  other  grand  juris- 
dictions have  laid  aside  forever  all  the  hopes  and  fears,  all  the  sorrows  and 
burdens  of  life.  Their  names  appear  on  the  memorial  pages  iu  the  ap- 
pendix. 

To  their  surviving  relatives,  we  extend  our  deepest  sympathy  and  most 
fraternal  affection. 

Our  departed  brethren  have  gone  from  human  sight;  they  have  passed 
forever  from  association  with  us  here.  It  is  our  duty  to  perpetuate  their 
memories;  to  preserve  and  strengthen  and  glorify  the  institution  for  which 
they  labored. 

Brethren,  farewell;  you  have  reached  your  journey's  end;  you  have 
passed  between  the  pillars,  over  the  mosaic  pavement  into  the  presence  of 
the  Grand  Lodge  on  High,  where 

"Only  the  Master  shall  praise  us,  and  only  the  Master  shall  blame; 
And  no  one  shall  work  for  money,  and  no  one  shall  work  for  fame, 
But  each  for  the  joy  of  the  Avorking,  and  each,  in  his  separate  star, 
Shall  draw  the  Thing  as  he  sees  it  for  the  Good  of  Things  as  they  are."

of  the  State  of  Illinois: 
Brethren : 

Your  Committee  on  Transportation  respectfully  report  that  they  ar- 
ranged for  a  rate  of  one  and  one-half  fare  for  the  round  trip  over  all  rail- 
ways in  Illinois,  members  of  the  Western,  Central,  and  South  Passenger 
Associations.  To  enable  brethren  to  make  better  connections  arrangements 
were  made  for  those  living  in  that  vicinity  to  travel  via  St.  Louis,  Mo.,  and 
still  secure  the  reduced  rate. 

"We  have  received,  certified,  and  turned  over  to  the  joint  agents  of 
these  passenger  associations  667  certificates,  which  have  been  duly  validated 
and  will  be  returned  to  the  brethren  through  the  district  deputy  grand 
master  of  their  respective  districts  with  their  mileage  and  per  diem  vouch- 
ers enabling  them  to  buy  their  return  tickets  for  one-half  the  regular  fare. 

For  next  year  arrangements  have  been  made  whereby  representatives 
may  purchase  round  trip  tickets  at  their  local  ofiice  at  the  one  and  one- 
half  fare  rate,  thereby  eliminating  annoyance  of  procuring  certificates.

Report — Masonic  Relief  Association 

Bro.  F,  W.  Bleike  presented  the  following  report : 

Daniel  G.  Fitzgerrell,  Grand  Master, 
Dear  Sir  and  Brother: 

A  brief  report  of  the  Fourteenth  Biennial  Meeting  of  the  Masonic 
Belief  Association  of  the  United  States  and  Canada,  held  at  New  Orleans, 
La.,  October  3,  4  and  5,  1921,  is  here  submitted: 

It  may  be  of  interest  to  briefly  review  the  organization  and  purpose 
of  this  association. 

The  Masonic  Eelief  Association  was  organized  in  Baltimore  thirty-six 
years  ago  with  twelve  relief  boards,  and  meetings  have  been  held  biennially 
in  practically  every  section  of  our  Nation,  except  the  western  coast,  and 
it  was  therefore  most  inspiring  to  meet  and  fraternize  with  our  brethren 
of  the  South  and  in  the  jurisdiction  of  Louisiana: 

"Laud  of  the  mocking  bird,  sunlight  and  beauty; 
Land  where  the  willow  bends  over  the  stream 
Land  where  the  odor  of  sweet  scented  flowers 
Enraptures  the  senses  and  nurtures  a  dream ; 
Land   where   the   cypress  majestic  and   solemn 
Enfolds  in  its  shadows  a  silvery  gleam; 
Land  where  the  prairies  are  frosted  with  lilies 
And  yellow-leafed  jasmines  are  always  in  bloom." 

It  is  superfluous  to  add  that  the  delegates  were  royally  welcomed  and 
entertained  by  our  brothers  there. 

The  association  has  grown  in  membership  until  it  now  has  the  active 
cooperation  and  support  of  more  than  one  hundred  and  sixty  relief  boards 
and  employment  bureaus  in  the  Grand  Jurisdictions  of  the  United  States 
and  Canada! 

Its  work  has  been  most  beneficial  in  protecting  Lodges  and  the  in- 
dividual Mason  against  the  impostor,  the  fraud  and  the  mendicant.  It  has 
apprehended  and  published  in  its  warning  circulars  and  names   and  de- 


154  Proceedings  of  the  [October  13, 

t-criptioiis  of  about  seven  thousaud  frauds  and  impostors  whose  chief  voca- 
tion is  to  get  their  living  from  working  Masonic  charity.  Action  was 
taken  at  this  convention  to  further  organize  such  protection  so  as  to  be 
available  to  every  good  Mason  in  every  location;  personal  conferences  with 
grand  jurisdictions  not  now  represented  will  be  arranged  and  it  is  ex- 
Ijccted  that  they  will  result  in  a  CDmpleted  organization  so  that  every  Ma- 
sonic jurisdiction  ' '  may  maintain  for  future  generations  some  organized 
protection  for  its  own  members  as  well  as  for  the  fraternity  at  large. ' ' 

That  this  association  has  been  beneficial  also  in  promoting  the  or- 
ganization of  Masonic  Belief  Boards  and  Service  Bureaus  is  more  and  more 
evidenced  at  each  succeeding  meeting.  The  number  of  worthy  distressed 
Masons  and  their  families  who  have  been  materially  assisted  through  this 
af-sociation  and  local  boards  is  beyond  computation,  for  of  them  no  record 
has  been  kept  in  the  books  of  the  association. 

A  reference  to  the  work  done  by  the  Masonic  Board  of  Eclief  of 
Chicago,  whose  limits  are  Cook  County,  alone,  shows  that  the  board  has 
handled  over  four  thousand  cases  in  the  sixteen  years  of  its  operations  and 
expended  nearly  $40,000  in  relief,  will  indicate  the  scope  of  this  great 
Masonic  beneficence. 

Another  important  mis^siou  of  the  association  has  been  its  publications 
of  the  activities  relating  to  Masonic  charities,  such  as  homes,  hospitals  and 
educational.  The  circulation  of  such  publications  has  been  beneficial  in 
stimulating  and  encouraging  the  further  extension  of  this  most  noble 
benevolence. 

A  compilation  of  the  endowments,  annual  expenditures,  the  number  of 
institutions,  etc.,  maintained  by  Masons  in  all  of  the  jurisdictions  was  read 
at  the  meeting  and  will  be  puldishcd  and  mailed  to  the  members.  It  is  so 
splendid  a  record,  that  if  Masonry  had  no  other  meaning,  no  other  purpose 
for  its  existence,  this  record,  alone,  should  inspire  us  to  greater  service. 

Among  the  many  valuable  suggestions  presented  relating  to  Masonic 
practice  of  charity  and  benevolence,  the  Avorking  out  of  a  plan  by  which 
each  lodge  should  set  apart  a  fixed  amount  of  all  fees  for  Belief;  a 
permanent  fund,  always  available,  was  exemplified,  and  also  that  of  keep- 
ing a  card  index  of  the  widows  and  orphans  of  our  members  in  order  to 
keep  alive  the  spirit  of  Masonry  by  inviting  them  to  our  lodge  entertain- 
ments, etc.,  and  for  purposes  of  identification. 

I  am  pleased  to  report  that  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Illinois  is  highly 
esteemed,  an  evidence  of  which  is  the  election  of  Bro.  R.  J.  Daly  to  the 
office  of  1st  vice-president. 

Permit  me,  in  conclusion,  to  recommend  llie  continuance  of  our  mem- 
bership in  the  association  and  the  appropriation  for  its  share  of  the  cost 
of  maintenance. 

Eespectfully, 

F.  W.  Bleike.

a  proposed  amcndont  to  code  No.  667  of  the  Grand  Lodge  By-laws,  the 
effect  whicdi  would  be  to  divide  the  annual  per  capita  revenue  equally  be-

eighty  to  forty-five  as  at  present,  fraternally  recommends  that  the  proposed 
amendment  be  adopted,  so  that  when  amended,  code  No.  667  of  the  Grand 
Lodge  By-laws  shall  read  as  follows: 

667.  Every  lodge  in  this  jurisdiction,  on  or  before  the  fust  day  of

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  dt)llar 
and  twenty-five  cents,  one-half  shall  be  for  the  general  fund  and  one-half 
for  the  charity  fund,  subject  to  such  appropriations  from  time  to  time  as 
the  grand  lodge  may  direct. 

Your  committee  further  recommen<ls  the  adoption  of  the  several  ameiid- 
ments  to  the  code  as  proposed  by  Brother  D.  D.  King  relative  to  procedure 
in  changing  the  place  of  meeting  of  lodges,  so  that  code  No.  348  of  Grand 
Lodge  By-laws  when  amended  will  read  as  follows :

or  village  named  in  its  charter  or  dispensation,  exeei)t  by  special  authority 
of  the  grand  lodge  or  grand  master  granted  upon  a  written  ]ietition  con- 
curred in  by  a  vote  of  three-fourths  of  the  members  of  the  lodge  present

previous  notice;  and  such  removal  shall  be  consented  to  by  the  lodge  or 
lodges  whose  jurisdiction  may  be  abridged  thereby. 

Also,  that  code  No.  349  of  the  Grand  Lodge  By-laws  be  repealed  as 
being  surplusage;  and  that  code  No.  3.51  of  the  Grand  Lodge  By-laws  be 
hereafter  designated  as  code  No,  349.

Report — Committee  on  Chartered  Lodges 

The  Committee  on  Chartered  Lodges  made  the  following 
report.     It  was  adopted. 


158  Proceedings  of  t1ie  [October  13, 

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

We,  your  Coinmittee  on  Chartered  Lodges  having  checked  over  the  re- 
ports of  the  district  deputy  giand  masters  on  their  official  visits  and  in- 
spections, as  called  for  by  code  No.  ICJ,  beg  to  present  this  special  report: 

With  902  lodges,  reports  were  received  on  817,  leaving  85  not  visited 
or  reported  on.  The  average  expense  for  those  on  ^vhich  an  expense  was 
charged  was  $1.57  per  lodge. 

From  the  reports  on  the  817  lodges  we  find  that  379  own  either  in 
whole  or  jointly  their  meeting  jjlaces;  71  carried  no  fire  insurance;  376 
were  not  provided  with  fire  proof  safes  or  vaults  for  their  records.  In  8 
lodges  the  secretary  was  not  provided  Avith  proper  books  and  blanks  for 
the  discharge  of  his  duties.  In  58  lodges  code  No.  4G5  was  violated  by 
recording  in  the  minutes  the  character  of  reports  of  investigating  commit- 
tees. In  33  lodges  the  minutes  did  not  show  receipts  of  fees  and  dues 
as  required  by  law.  In  17  the  minutes  did  not  show  time  of  opening  and 
closing,  and  in  27  the  minutes  were  not  signed  by  both  master  and  secretary. 

In  88  lodges  the  records  were  not  kept  in  accordance  with  require- 
ments of  the  grand  lodge,  12  lodges  were  not  using  proper  form  of  peti- 
tions for  degrees  and  affiliation  and  in  13  lodges  the  by-laws  were  not  in 
harmony  with  Grand  Lodge  By-laws.  Four  lodges  were  not  provided  with 
roll  of  membership  containing  by-laws  for  members  to  sign;  114  never 
hold  meetings  for  instruction  and  practice;  46  were  not  equipped  with 
proper  paraphernalia.  In  57  lodges  the  books  of  secretary  and  treasurer 
are  not  audited  each  year;  that  470  secretaries  and  468  treasurers  were 
not  bonded. 

The  reports  showed  that  in  over  20  lodges,  lodge  funds  in  bank  were 
not  kept  in  the  manner  provided  for  in  code  No.  409,  and  we  recommend 
that  legii-lation  be  enacted  providing  that  lodge  funds  in  bank  shall  be 
in  the  name  of  the  lodge  and  not  in  the  name  of  the  treasurer. 

Of  the  100  district  deputy  grand  masters,  79  filed  full  and  complete 
reports  on  their  districts;  16  made  partial  reports  and  5  made  no  reports 
at  all.  This  committee  has  repeatedly  called  attention  to  the  importance 
and  benefit  to  the  lodges  of  these  reports  and  believe  that  no  brother  should 
accept  this  appointment  of  great  honor  unless  he  intends  to  make  an  honest 
eiTort  to  perform  its  duties  as  prescribed  by  law,  and  we  trust  that  next 
years'  report  of  this  committee  will  show  that  each  deputy  visited,  in- 
spected and  reported  on  each  lodge  in  his  district  and  in  using  the  worP. 
"lodge"  we  mean  the  lodge  itself,  and  not  a  report  based  on  information 
obtained  olherwise  than  by  a  personal  visit  to  the  lodge  in  session. 


1921]  Grand  Lodge  of  Illinois  159 

We  heartily  approve  the  plan  proposed  by  the  grand  master  for  hav- 
ing all  secretaries  and  treasurers  bonded. 

All  of  which  is  fraternally  submitted,

162  Proceedings  of  the  [October  13, 

Bro.  Alexander  H.  Bell  responded  for  the  representatives. 

On  behalf  of  my  distinguished  associates  who  represent  the  various 
grand  lodges  named,  and  myself,  we  want  to  thank  you  for  the  very  cordial 
reception  which  you  have  accorded  to  us. 

The  functions  of  a  representative  of  a  foreign  grand  lodge  are  not 
very  onerous.  We  haven't  much  to  do.  It  is  valuable  only  because  it 
signifies  the  very  cordial  fraternal  relations  existing  between  our  own 
grand  lodge  and  other  grand  lodges. 

Until  a  few  years  ago  they  had  no  real  thought  about  the  appointment 
of  representatives  in  foreign  grand  lodges,  but  a  number  of  years  ago  the 
Grand  Lodge  of  Tennessee  was  pleased  to  name  me  as  its  representative. 
That  started  a  new  movement.  After  that  every  foreign  grand  lodge 
looked  about  to  find  the  best  looking  man  to  represent  it,  and  since  that 
day  they  have  been  in  a  very  earnest  but  futile  effort  to  find  a  man  who 
could  rival  in  looks  the  representative  of  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Tennessee. 
But  I  can  say  to  you,  Brethren,  that  these  distinguished  brethren  being 
our  diplomatic  corps  representing  foreign  grand  lodges  are  without  ques- 
tion the  best  looking  men  who  could  be  found  in  the  State  of  Illinois.  It 
is  a  very  great  pleasure  to  them  and  to  me.  Brethren,  to  bring  to  you  the 
fraternal  greeting  of  our  several  grand  lodges.

as  follows: 

Most  TVorshipful  Grand  Master  and  Brethren  of  the  Grand  Lodge: 

I  desire  to  take  this  opportunity  of  saying  jnst  a  ^vord  to  the  repre- 
sentatives of  this  grand  lodge  and  to  the  Masons  throughout  this  state. 
It  is  my  highest  Masonic  ambition  to  so  conduct  the  affairs  of  the  oflSce 
of  grand  master,  as  to  win  the  approbation  of  the  Masons  of  this  state. 
I  have  distinguished  examples  to  follow.  The  great  men  who  in  the  past 
have  filled  this  office  have  furnished  a  line  of  conduct  for  their  successors, 
which  it  is  well  for  any  man  to  emulate  and  I  shall  endeavor  while  grand 
master,  to  win  the  esteem  and  approval  of  the  great  men  who  have  filled 
this  office  before  me,  and  to  win  the  approval  of  the  members  of  the  craft. 
That  is  my  one  great  ambition.  I  thank  you,  Brethren,  for  Ihe  great  honor 
you  have  conferred. 


1G4  Proceedings  of  tJie  [October  13, 

Brother  M.  Bates  lott  presented  a  beautiful  historical 
gavel  to  Grand  Master  Beach  in  the  following  words : 

Most  Worshipful  Grand  Master: 

I  expected  to  perform  this  little  pleasure  that  I  have  now,  some  time 
right  immediately  after  your  installation,  but  I  was  a  little  late  in  ar- 
riving, and  they  were  just  giving  you  the  grand  honors  when  I  came  in. 

Some  weeks  ago  a  brother  came  to  me  and  wanted  to  know  if  I  would 
make  what  he  called  a  presentation  speech  for  him.  I  said,  no.  In  the 
first  place  did  not  know  what  the  presentation  was  to  be,  or  whom  it  was 
to  be  to,  and  in  the  next  place,  I  didn't  feel  capable  of  doing  it,  but  after 
learning  from  him  who  it  was  and  what  it  was,  I  was  very  glad  to  do  it 
in  my  feeble  way.  The  brother  who  requested  me  to  present  you  with  this 
gavel,  is  a  very  good  friend  of  yours,  and  presents  it  to  you  on  account  of 
his  friendship  and  love  for  you.  You  will  see  that  it  is  large  and  plain, 
and  like  yourself,  is  made  of  the  real  stuff.  And  perhaps  it  would  be  of 
interest  to  you  and  the  brethren  of  the  grand  lodge  if  I  should  give  you 
some  information  regarding  the  history  of  the  wood  from  which  this  gavel 
was  made. 

This  gavel  was  turned  from  wood,  which  came  from  the  heart  of  a 
tree,  which  grew  in  Kentucky.  A  Kentucky  coffee  tree.  It  was  grown  on 
the  grounds  of  Mount  Vernon,  Virginia,  upon  the  home  of  George  Wash- 
ington, the  first  President  of  the  United  States.  This  tree  when  quite 
small,  was  brought  from  Kentucky,  by  Thomas  Jefferson,  the  third  Vice- 
President  of  the  United  Stales,  and  was  planted  near  the  front  door  yard 
of  Washington's  home  by  General  LaFayette  of  France.  The  tree  there- 
fore, has  a  very  technical  masonic  interest,  insomuch  as  all  three  of  these 
celebrated   characters  were  members  of  the  Masonic  fraternity. 

This  brother  informs  me,  Most  Worshipful  Grand  Master,  that  he  per- 
sonally saw  this  tree  a  short  time  after  it  was  destroyed  by  lightning,  and 
procured  a  piece  of  this  wood  by  strategy  and  had  it  made  into  a  gavel 
in  the  shop  of  a  past  master  of  a  Chicago  lodge.  The  ornamentation  hereon 
was  placed  by  a  manufacturing  jeweler  of  Chicago,  also  a  member  of  the 
fraternity. 

Now  my  dear  Grand  Master,  I  take  great  pleasure  in  placing  in  your 
hands  this  gavel,  and  I  sincerely  trust  you  will  receive  it,  and  that  you 
will  derive  as  much  pleasure  in  receiving  the  same  as  he  has  in  giving  it. 

The  grand  master  responded  as  follows : 

Brother  lott  and  Brethren: 

I  know  you  must  appreciate  just  how  I  feel  at  this  moment  in  re- 
ceiving a  gavel  of  these  historic  associations.    I  am  very  glad  that  Brother 


1921]  Grand  Lodge  of  Illinois  165 

lott  explained  the  history  of  the  gavel,  and  I  assure  you  and  the  brother 
^vho  presents  it,  whose  name  Brother  lott  did  not  announce,  that  it  will 
be  a  very  choice  possession,  and  as  I  understand  it,  I  am  not  expected  to 
turn  this  over  to  my  succci-sor  in  office.  It  is  a  great  pleasure  to  receive 
a  gavel  with  such  historic  associations  and  significance  as  this,  and  I  desire 
to  again  say  to  Brotlior  lott,  that  I  very  greatly  appreciate  his  kindness  in 
presenting  this  gavel,  which  I  shall  always  retain  as  a  very  dear  keepsake. 

Bro.  Leroy  A.  Goddarcl  presented  the  past  grand  master's 
jewel  to  Bro.  Daniel  G.  Fitzgerrell,  retiring  grand  master,  as 
follows : 

Most  Worsliipful  Grand  Master,  Most   Worshipful  Brother  Fitsgerrcll,  and 

Brethren  of  the  Grand  Lodge: 

It  is  a  surprise  to  me  to  be  again  called  before  you.  I  have  been 
much  in  evidence  in  this  annual  communication,  but  not  of  my  own  choos- 
ing. I  have  submitted  only  from  a  willingness  to  serve  while  I  am  able 
to  serve.  I  am  well  down  the  shady  side  of  sixty  and,  doubtless,  bordering 
on  the  evening  of  life.  My  hair  is  not  white  yet,  but  I  have  seen  the 
snows  of  many  winters.  By  the  will  of  the  All-Wise  I  stand  before  you  as 
the  dean  of  the  past  grand  masters  of  this  grand  lodge.  In  my  forty-six 
years  in  active  Masonic  life,  I  have  met  with  many  pleasant  exp(>riences, 
and  this  sudden  command  to  perform  this  act  is  another  one  of  the  real 
pleasures  that  liave  come  my  way. 

I  have  known  from  his  boyhood  this  long,  lean,  stubbornly  courageous 
man  who  has  so  faithfully  served  us  as  grand  master  for  the  x^a.at  two  and 
one-half  years.  He  is  so  stubliorn  that  he  could  not  persuade  himself  to 
be  anything  but  loyal  to  his  convictions  or  to  do  less  than  his  whole  duty. 
ITe  leaves  the  splendid  record  of  a  fine  and  strong  administration.  The 
pages  are  clean  and  bear  evid(Micc  of  duty  admirably  performed.  It  is  a 
genuine  delight  to  present  to  him  this  past  grand  master's  jewel,  and  with 
it  go  the  affections  and  the  gratitude  not  onlj'  of  the  rciiresentatives  here 
present  but  of  the  great  Craft  of  Illinois." 

Bro.   Fitzgerrell : 

Brethren : 

I  know  many  of  you  have  heard  me  say  heretofore,  that  my  business 
is  not  that  of  speaking  but  of  listening.  I  happen  to  be  the  credit  man 
for  the  institution  which  I  represent,  and  I  have  become  a  good  listeiier. 
I  have  listened  to  many  stories  of  divers  and  sundry  kinds,  to  beautiful 
stories,  and  to  complaints,  I  have  heard  tales  of  woe  such  as  I  lielieve  have 
not  been  poured  into  the  ear  of  any  other  man.     I  have  heard  the  most 


166  Proceedings  of  the  [October  13, 

celebrated  artists  sing.  I  have  heard  my  revered  old  mother  croon  the 
Evening  Melody  to  me,  as  I  went  to  sleep,  but  aside  from  that  last  named 
thing,  I  can  remember  no  other  music  that  has  sounded  so  sweetly  in.  my 
ear  as  the  words  of  my  distinguished  associate  and  brother  and  of  the 
manifestation  which  I  have  just  witnessed  and  heard.  It  has  been  my 
purpose  to  serve  you  well,  equally,  to  treat  every  one  of  you  as  my  equal. 
I  would  rather  go  down  in  history  as  your  friend  and  brother,  as  plain, 
common  everyday  Dan  Fitzgerrell,  than  to  have  written  on  my  tombstone 
here  lies  the  greatest  orator  or  the  greatest  grand  master  that  ever 
lived.  I  hope  and  trust  Brethren,  that  I  may  have  some  small  part  in 
your  affections,  that  I  may  live  in  your  minds  and  hearts  as  you  will  ever 
live  in  my  own. 

I  shall  lay  this  beautiful  jewel  away  in  my  treasure  house  and  keep 
it  just  so  long  as  I  shall  live.  When  I  look  upon  it  I  shall  always  remember 
this  occasion  with  a  heart  filled  with  love  and  good  will  for  each  and 
every  one  of  you.

(The  report  of  the  Board  of  Grand  Examiners  was  inadvertently  left

REPORT  OF  BOARD  OF  GRAND  EXAMINERS 

JOLiET,  III.,  Sept.  14,  1921. 
Bro.  Daniel  G.  Fitsgerrcll,  M.JV.  Grand  Master,  Normal,  III. 
Dear  Bro.  Fitzgerrell: 

It  has  been  our  pleasing  duty  to  serve  you  during  the  year  and  it 
now  becomes  our  pleasing  duty  to  report  to  you,  our  labors  for  the  year. 

Pursuant  to  our  appointment,  at  the  meeting  of  the  Most  Worship- 
ful Grand  Lodge,  last  October,  we  met  and  organized  by  electing  \Vm.  H. 
Zarley  as  secretary. 

At  the  same  meeting  we  recommended,  for  commissions  as  grand 
lecturers,  the  brethern  whose  names  were  published  in  the  proceedings 
of  the  Most  Worshipful  Grand  Lodge  for  1920. 

In  accordance  with  your  orders,  schools  were  held  as  follows: 

Mt.  Vernon January  4,  5  and  G,  1921 

Chicago January  18,  19  and  20,  1921 

Eock  Island February  1,  2  and  3,  1921 

Springfield February  15,  16  and  17,  1921 

Danville March  1,  2  and  3,  1921 

Princeton March  15,  16  and  17,  1921 

Also  examinations  for  commissions  as  grand  lecturers  were  held  at: 

Chicago January  21  and  22,  1921 

Normal August  1  and  2,  1921 

The  total  attendance  at  these  schools  was  3486,  including  769  officers 
of  lodges  of  whom  165  were  worshipful  masters. 

At  the  two  examinations,  we  examined  sixty-four  brethren  and  recom- 
mended each  of  them  to  you  for  their  commissions. 

Appended  hereto  is  a  detailed  report  of  the  several  schools  and 
exminations : 

Mt.  Vernon  School 

The  first  state  school  of  the  year  1921  was  held  at  Mt.  Vernon  January 
4,  5  and  6.  The  school  was  well  attended  and  the  interest  shown  was  all 
that  could  be  desired.  One  very  nice  feature  of  the  school  was  the  banquet, 
served  by  the  ladies  of  the  Eastern  Star,  which  was  enjoyed  by  all  present. 
The  ticket  of  admission  to  the  banquet  was  a  card,  on  which  was  printed 
"OUR  DAN."  The  explanation  of  the  words  "OUR  DAN"  is,  that  the 
members  of  Mt.  A^'ernon  Lodge  No.  31  conferred  the  degrees  upon  him  and 
started  him  on  his  Masonic  career. 

Grand  Officers: 

Daniel  G.  Fitzgerrell M.  W.  Grand  Master 

Richard  C.  Davenport Junior  Grand  Warden 

Isaac  Cutter Grand  Secretary 

C.  O.  Faught Senior  Grand  Deacon

There  were  sixteen  masters  of  lodges  and  thirty-eight  officers  other  than 
masters.  Sixty-one  Illinois  lodges  and  nine  lodges  from  foreign  grand  juris- 
dictions were  represented.     Total  attendance  306. 


Chicago  School 

The  second  state  school  of  the  year  1921  was  held  at  Chicago  on  the 
18th,  19th  and  20th  of  January.  The  members  of  the  Board  of  Grand  Ex- 
aminers were  especially  pleased  at  the  interest  shown  by  those  in  attend- 
ance, also  at  the  large  number  of  offieers  of  lodges  present,  also  the  large 
number  of  brethren  present,  who  expected  to  take  the  examination  for  com- 
missions as  grand  lecturers.  Tlie  usual  masonic  feeling  of  good-fellowship 
and  brotherly  love  was  an  ever  present  quantity,  at  all  times,  during  the 
Fchool.  One  of  the  pleas-ant  parts  of  the  school  was  the  attendance  of 
Brother  Isaac  Cutter  at  all  three  days  of  the  school.  The  craft  of  Illinois 
have  so  learned  to  love  our  grand  secretary  that  no  Masonic  meeting  is 
considered  complete  without  him.

EocK  Island  School 
The  third  state  school  of  the  year  1921  -was  held  at  Eock  Island  on  the 
1st,  2nd  and  3rd  of  February.  The  school  was  a  remarkable  one  in  many 
ways.  Several  attendance  records  were  established.  The  members  of  the 
board  think  that  this  is  the  first  time  the  attendance  at  a  school  outside  of 
Chicago  exceeded  that  of  the  Chicago  school,  the  attendance  at  Chicago  be- 
ing 815,  that  at  Eock  Island  863.  The  number  of  members  from  foreign 
grand  jurisdictions  was  very  large,  being  133,  representing  101  lodges,  so 
that  at  this  school  the  grand  jurisdictions  of  thirty  states  of  the  United 
States,  the  District  of  Columbia  and  Canada  were  represented.  Another  rec- 
ord was  that  the  number  of  Illinois  lodges  was  eighty-seven  as  compared 
with  the  101  foreign  lodges  represented.  The  number  of  officers  of  lodges 
in  attendance  was  also  large,  there  being  124,  of  which  twenty  were  masters.

The  fourth  state  school  of  the  year  was  held  at  Springfield  on  the  15th, 
16th  and  17th  of  February,  1921.  The  members  of  the  lioard  were  especially 
pleased  at  the  number  of  the  grand  lodge  officers  and  past  grand  masters 
who  attended.  While  the  number  in  attendance  at  this  school  was  not  quite 
as  large  as  some  of  the  other  schools,  the  interest  shown  and  the  proficiency 
of  the  brethren  present  more  than  made  up  for  the  lack  of  numbers.

There  were  in  attendance  eighty  ofliccrs  of  lodges,  of  which  twenty-one 
were  Masters;  fourteen  lodges  of  foreign  Grand  Jurisdictions  were  repre- 
sented;   136  Illinois  lodges  were  represented.

Danville  School 

The  fifth  State  School  of  the  year  was  held  at  Danville  on  the  1st,  2nd, 
and  3rd  of  March,  1921.  Brother  Dolan,  secretary  of  the  Board  of  Man- 
agers of  the  Masonic  Home  at  Sullivan,  was  present  and  gave  an  address 
as  to  the  homes  at  Sullivan  and  LaGrange  which  was  very  instructive  to 
the  brethren  and  very  interestingly  given  by  Brother  Dolan. 

One  of  the  features  of  all  Grand  Lodge  schools  was  missing  at  this 
school  because  Brother  Cutter  was  unable  to  be  present  and  deliver  his 
usual  interesting  address.

represented.

Princeton  School 

The  sixth  and  last  State  School  of  the  year  was  held  at  Princeton  on 
the  15th,  16th,  and  17th  of  March,  1921.  The  school  was  well  attended  and 
was  a  success  in  every  way.  Brother  Bradley,  the  D.D.G.M.  for  the  district 
in  which  the  school  was  held,  was  very  much  pleased  with  the  school  as  well 
as  with  his  St.  Patrick's  party,  which  some  of  his  visiting  Masonic  friends 
arranged  for  him.  Brother  Harry  W.  Hanson  and  his  fellow  Eotarians 
entertained  the  Grand  Lecturers  at  the  Eotary  Club  dinner  on  Tuesday, 
and  Brother  Hanson  had  one  of  his  fancy  Jersey  cows  in  the  dining  room 
to  furnish  milk  for  the  dinner.  Everyone  who  attended  the  school  at 
Princeton  was  of  the  opinion  that  Brother  Bradley  and  the  brethren  of 
Princeton  and  vicinity  deserve  a  lot  of  credit  for  the  large  attendance  at 
the  school,  considering  the  comparatively  small  local  membership,  nearly 
the  entire  membership  of  Princeton  lodge  being  in  attendance.

During  the  year,  the  alarm  of  death  has  sounded  in  our  midst,  on  two 
occasions. 

Early  in  the  fall  of  1920  Brother  Carlton  G.  Taylor,  of  Rock  Island, 
was  summoned  to  the  Grand  Lodge  above.  Brother  Taylor  was  a  just  and 
upright  Mason  and  exhibited  in  his  daily  life  the  golden  tenets  of  Brotherly 
Love,  Relief,  and  Truth. 

The  sad  news  of  the  death  of  Brother  Isaac  Cutter,  came  early  in  June, 
and  caused  the  brethren  of  Illinois  to  feel  that  a  very  dark  cloud  was  over 
them,  but  the  sadness  was  somewhat  relieved  by  the  knowledge  that  he  had 
ascended  those  serene  heights  of  beauty  and  joy,  to  be  seated  at  the  right 
hand  of  the  Supreme  Grand  Master,  and  to  be  pronounced  a  just  and  upright 
Mason. 

It  is  not  meet  that  I  here  record  the  virtues  of  these  brethren,  "they 
have  gone  beyond  our  praise  or  censure,"  except  to  say,  we  all  are  aware 
that  they  had  learned  well  the  lesson  "to  be  good  men  and  true. ' ' 

In  conclusion  we  desire  to  express  our  heartfelt  appreciation  of  the 
honors  conferred  upon  us  at  your  hands,  and  that  we  desire  to  thank  you 


Detailed  Report — Grand  Examiners  257 

for  the  many  kindnesses  and  favors  you  have  shown  ns  during  our  term  of 
service  as  members  of  your  Board  of  Grand  Examiners. 

"We  also  desire  to  congratulate  you  on  your  successful  term  of  office 
as  Most  Worshipful  Grand  Master.

APPENDIX  PART  I 


REPORT  OF  THE  COMMITTEE  ON 
MASONIC  CORRESPONDENCE 


FOREWORD 

In  presenting  the  annual  review  for  the  year  192 1,  the 
writer  has  endeavored  to  condense  as  much  as  possible  and 
cover  such  of  the  grand  jurisdictions  as  came  under  his  notice 
in  as  brief  a  manner  as  possible. 

Comment  has  been  very  sparingly  used  and  the  effort  made 
to  set  forth  as  briefly  as  possible  the  principal  events  which 
each  grand  lodge  participated  in. 

It  is  no  easy  matter  to  read  the  proceedings  of  fifty  or 
sixty  grand  lodges  and  glean  therefrom  those  items  of  interest 
which  in  the  opinion  of  the  writer  will  claim  the  attention  of 
those  who  are  to  read  them. 

The  year  which  has  just  drawn  to  a  close  has  not  been 
characterized  by  any  unusual  procedure  as  the  country  is  pass- 
ing through  a  period  of  readjustment  and  gradually  settling 
down  to  old  time  procedures  so  the  same  may  be  said  of 
Freemasonry. 

The  war  was  responsible  for  a  great  many  questions  and 
innovations  coming  up  in  our  Masonic  lodges  as  well  as  un- 
usual procedures,  but  this  period  seems  to  have  passed  and 
we  are  now  approaching  a  state  which  may  be  looked  upon  as 
stable  and  conservative. 

There  are  a  number  of  proceedings  which  have  not  been 
reviewed  this  year  which  usually  appear  in  this  report.  This 
is  due  to  the  fact  that  they  have  not  been  received  due  prob- 
ably to  printers'  delay.  However,  the  review  is  offered  for 
what  it  is  worth  and  it  is  sincerely  to  be  hoped  that  those  who 
are  interested  in  the  affairs  of  other  grand  lodges  may  find  in 
this  resume,  those  salient  facts  which  go  to  make  up  the  pro- 
ceedings of  each  grand  lodge.

POINT  OF  VIEW 
Group  Work 

In  reading  the  proceedings  of  the  numerous  grand  lodges 
which  came  under  notice  of  the  writer,  it  is  apparent  that  the 
thinking  men  of  the  fraternity  are  commencing  to  realize 
that  there  is  too  much  time  devoted  to  conferring  degrees  and 
too  little  to  those  other  essentials  of  the  fraternity  which  are 
so  necessary  for  its  success  and  prosperity.  Not  a  few  grand 
masters  have  recommended  to  their  grand  lodges  that  some- 
thing be  done  that  will  permit  lodges  to  initiate  more  than  one 
candidate  at  the  same  time.  This  writer  long  ago  took  up 
this  subject  and  has  urged  a  fair  hearing  upon  the  matter  so 
far  as  his  own  grand  lodge  is  concerned.  It  is  not  noticeable 
that  any  great  harm  is  being  brought  to  the  fraternity  in  those 
grand  lodges  which  permit  group  work.  In  fact,  many  of 
them  are  working  out  their  destiny  in  a  highly  satisfactory 
manner  and  accomplishing  much  good  for  the  benefit  of  the 
fraternity.  It  is  hard  to  get  men  to  understand  that  Free- 
masonry like  everything  else  has  undergone  a  wonderful  evo- 
lution in  the  last  one  hundred  years.  Forty  years  ago  it  was 
a  very  unusual  thing  for  a  lodge  to  initiate  a  candidate.  There 
was  then  some  reason  why  each  candidate  should  be  given  his 
degrees  singly.  Much  of  the  essence  of  the  fraternity  is  con- 
tained in  the  first  degree  and  if  it  is  given  to  a  candidate 
singly  there  is  no  reason  why  a  plan  of  group  initiation  should 
not  be  devised  for  the  balance  of  the  degrees.  Because  Ma- 
sonry did  a  thing  fifty  years  ago  is  no  argument  why  it 
should  do  it  now.  There  is  a  wonderful  awakening  along 
Masonic  lines  and  it  is  sincerely  hoped  that  the  time  is  not  far 
distant  when  this  subject  of  group  initiating  will  receive 
proper  attention  at  the  hands  of  thoughtful  men  of  the  fra- 
ternity, thus  relieving  it  of  a  burden  which  is  today  retarding 
its  true  progress. 


Group  Bai,i,oting 

In  reading  the  proceedings  which  the  writer  was  com- 
pelled to  do  in  order  to  make  his  report,  it  was  noticeable  that 
a  new  question  is  coming  to  the  front,  particularly  that  of 
group  balloting  on  candidates. 

In  a  number  of  instances,  grand  masters  have  ruled  that 
where  committee  reports  have  been  unanimous  that  a  group 
ballot  be  taken  on  all  petitions.  If  a  black  ball  appears  it  is 
up  to  the  lodge  to  separate  the  petitions  and  ballot  on  them 
separately  until  the  subject  of  the  black  ball  is  singled  out  and 
eliminated.  This  is  exactly  as  it  should  be.  When  a  lodge 
has  fifteen,  twenty  or  twenty-five  petitions  to  ballot  upon  and 
the  committee  reports  have  been  unanimously  favorable  there 
is  absolutely  no  good  reason  in  going  through  each  petition 
singly. 

In  several  cases  reports  of  grand  masters  show  that  as 
much  as  one  and  one-half  or  two  hours  were  required  by  the 
lodge  to  pass  the  ballot  simply  because  the  number  to  be  bal- 
loted upon  was  so  great  that  a  less  amount  of  time  could  not 
be  consumed.  The  lodge  in  the  main  depends  upon  the  re- 
port of  the  committee  on  petitions.  It  is  granted  that  in  many 
instances  these  committees  do  not  fulfill  their  functions  as 
completely  as  they  should  but  that  does  not  excuse  them  from 
the  duty  imposed  upon  them.  The  lodge  on  the  other  hand, 
depends  for  its  information  upon  the  report  of  the  committee 
and  if  the  report  of  the  committee  is  favorable,  in  nine  cases 
out  of  ten  the  ballot  is  likewise  favorable. 

The  whole  trouble  is  that  there  has  grown  up  in  Free- 
masonry too  much  technicality  and  to  irradicate  this  and  bring 
the  fraternity  to  serious  work  is  one  of  the  purposes  of  the 
present  age.  No  doubt,  all  this  will  be  accomplished  in  time. 
As  has  been  said  before,  "Great  reforms  move  slowly."  In 
group  balloting  there  is  an  opportunity  to  save  time  and  con- 
serve the  energy  and  patience  of  the  members. 


VI 

Too  Many  Laws 

One  of  the  very  best  things  that  could  possibly  happen  to 
the  Masonic  fraternity  would  be  to  eliminate  all  existing  laws 
and  regulations  and  return  to  Anderson's  original  Constitu- 
tions of  Freemasonry.  It  cannot  be  doubted  that  there  are 
entirely  too  many  laws  enacted  for  the  regulation  and  govern- 
ment of  the  society.  One  grand  master  found  in  counting  up 
the  laws  of  his  jurisdiction  approximately  three  hundred. 
All  this  could  be  greatly  simplified  by  the  use  of  a  little  com- 
mon sense. 

It  has  been  noticeable  in  recent  years  that  in  each  meeting 
of  some  of  the  grand  bodies,  there  have  been  a  large  number  of 
laws  and  regulations  presented  and  enacted.  Many  of  these 
amendments  have  been  offered  by  men  not  active  in  the  work 
of  the  fraternity  but  who  have  set  themselves  up  as  saviors 
of  the  institution  and  who  imagine  that  in  order  to  keep  the 
fraternity  straight  a  certain  number  of  amendments  must  be 
adopted  each  year. 

The  writer  is  fully  of  the  opinion  that  at  the  present  time, 
we  have  all  the  laws,  rules  and  regulations  that  the  fraternity 
can  possibly  need  for  the  next  one  hundred  years  and  noth- 
ing can  be  gained  by  the  enactment  of  any  more.  The  great- 
est need  of  the  times  is  a  return  of  the  fundamental  principles 
of  the  society  and  less  disposition  on  the  part  of  certain  mem- 
bers of  the  fraternity  to  throw  restrictions  around  the  work- 
ing elements  of  the  institution.  If  the  present  tendency  to  enact 
laws  keeps  on,  it  is  questionable  just  where  the  fraternity  will 
end,  and  it  is  almost  impossible  to  conceive  what  new  legis- 
lation will  be  devised  in  order  to  safeguard  the  fraternity. 
It  is  sincerely  hoped  that  the  fraternity  will  soon  pass  the  law- 
making stage  and  turn  its  attention  to  the  stable  things  of 
the  society. 


VII 

Incrdasing  Costs  of  Homes 

Each  year  the  proceedings  of  various  grand  lodges  show 
that  the  Masonic  homes  maintained  by  them  are  gradually  in- 
creasing in  cost  and  as  a  result  means  have  to  be  devised  for 
raising  additional  revenue  for  the  up-keep  of  these  institutions. 
Of  course,  the  world  has  been  passing  through  a  period  of 
high  prices  and  that  has  more  or  less,  affected  our  various 
Masonic  institutions  but  with  the  reduction  in  the  general 
cost  of  living,  there  seems  to  have  been  no  general  lessening 
in  the  prices  of  maintaining  our  various  Masonic  institutions. 
The  reason  for  this  is  obvious.  At  the  present  time,  the  Ma- 
sonic fraternity  is  doing  more  for  its  members  than  ever 
before. 

Masonic  homes  are  being  conducted  on  a  much  more  lib- 
eral scale.  Members  of  these  institutions  are  given  greater 
care  and  thought  than  ever  before.  They  are  not  only  clothed 
and  fed  but  have  the  attention  of  the  very  best  oculists,  dentists 
and  other  specialists  all  of  which  costs  money  and  causes  the 
institutions  to  use  up  funds  very  rapidly.  As  a  result  there  is 
a  general  scramble  all  over  the  United  States  for  money  for 
the  maintenance  of  these  institutions. 

When  they  were  first  inaugurated  no  one  ever  thought 
the  maintenance  would  require  an  endowment  fund.  In  fact, 
the  fraternity  went  into  the  fraternal  home  business  without 
any  thought  whatsoever  of  finding  the  means  to  maintain  them. 
The  result  now  is,  that  in  nearly  every  state  we  have  splendid 
institutions  which  are  doing  excellent  work  while  the  grand 
lodges  behind  them  are  taxed  to  the  utmost  for  their  support. 
The  fraternity  is  not  going  to  give  up  these  homes.  They 
are  badly  needed  in  our  Masonic  system  and  the  fact  that  we 
have  them  is  to  our  credit,  but  the  society  must  look  into  the 
future  and  devise  means  for  giving  these  institutions  proper 
support.  Just  what  system  of  taxation  may  be  inaugurated 
remains  to  be  seen  but  the  facts  are  that  something  will  have 


VIII 

to  be  done  if  these  institutions  are  to  be  continued  in  their 
present  sphere  of  glory  and  unselfishness. 

Cipher  Rituai^s 

One  question  which  the  writer  picked  up  in  the  review  of 
grand  lodge  proceedings  relates  to  cipher  rituals.  A  number 
of  grand  masters  reported  they  had  considerable  trouble  with 
these  books  and  in  one  or  two  jurisdictions  they  have  been 
openly  distributed  by  brethren.  The  Grand  Lodge  of  New 
York  took  hold  of  the  matter  and  found  the  cipher  ritual  was 
being  openly  sold  among  members  of  the  fraternity.  To 
counteract  the  whole  matter  the  grand  lodge  decided  to  issue 
its  own  cipher  ritual  and  to  put  a  check  on  the  sale  of  these 
books  by  various  book  sellers.  Another  grand  lodge  did  the 
same  and  the  outcome  will  be  watched  with  much  interest. 
When  it  comes  to  the  question  of  cipher  rituals  the  writer  is 
firmly  of  the  opinion  that  much  of  the  trouble  arising  from 
this  source  has  been  due  to  the  fact  that  too  much  stress  has 
been  laid  in  our  lodges  upon  the  subject  of  ritual.  This  seems 
to  be  the  one  great  end  toward  which  all  lodges  strive.  The 
result  has  been  that  members  of  the  fraternity  who  wanted 
to  get  into  the  limelight  have  bought  cipher  rituals  fully  ex- 
pecting them  to  measure  up  to  their  requirements.  This  writer 
firmly  hopes  that  the  time  is  not  very  far  distant  w'hen 
all  grand  lodges  will  adopt  cipher  ritiKils  for  the  reason  that 
it  is  the  best  method  of  combating  the  various  spurious  works 
now  offered  for  sale  and  so  promiscuously  used.  This  may 
seem  like  a  very  bold  statement  but  the  writer  happens  to  be 
in  a  line  of  business  which  places  him  in  very  close  touch 
with  this  particular  subject  and  knows  to  an  absolute  cer- 
tainty that  in  staid  old  Illinois  with  its  matchless  system  of 
ritual  and  ritualistic  instruction  that  the  sale  of  spurious 
rituals  goes  on  in  a  marvelous  manner. 

Passing  an  ordinary  book  store  in  the  city  of  Chicago 
the  other  day  the  writer  not  only  noticed  books  of  various 


•      IX 

kinds,  but  was  astounded  to  see  a  display  of  various  Masonic 
rituals.  It  is  a  very  noticeable  fact  that  rituals  of  chapters, 
commanderies  and  the  Scottish  Rite  are  not  offered  for  sale 
by  venders  of  books  for  the  reason  that  those  rituals  are  con- 
trolled and  distributed  by  the  bodies  themselves  and  any 
Ijrother  wanting  to  learn  the  work  knows  exactly  where  he  can 
go  to  get  one. 

The  cipher  ritual  question  is  an  important  one  and  sooner 
or  later  must  receive  the  attention  of  the  craft  wheresoever 
dispersed. 

Taxing  Initiates 

A  study  of  the  proceedings  which  have  come  under  the 
attention  of  the  reviewer  shows  that  in  nearly  every  quarter 
the  tendency  of  grand  lodges  has  been  to  increase  their  reve- 
nue. Many  ways  have  been  suggested  but  the  most  popular 
one  is  that  of  placing  a  tax  upon  each  initiate  for  the  degrees. 
This  tax  varies  from  $5.00  to  $20.00  and  is  to  be  paid  by  the 
lodge  itself.  Of  course,  the  lodge  immediately  gets  even  by 
amending  its  by-laws  and  increasing  its  fees.  The  prime  cause 
for  the  need  of  additional  revenue  on  the  part  of  grand  lodges 
is  the  heavy  drain  being  made  upon  them  by  the  Masonic  homes 
and  it  is  presumed  that  each  grand  lodge  has  the  right  to  draw 
additional  revenue  from  whatsoever  source  it  may. 

The  fees  for  the  Masonic  degrees  have  always  been  too 
low.  It  has  been  a  hard  matter  to  get  lodges  to  realize  this 
for  the  reason  that  each  Masonic  body  has  striven  to  increase 
its  membership  as  much  as  possible.  It  has  been  noticeable 
that  in  a  number  of  quarters  where  fees  were  increased  there 
was  no  lessening  in  the  number  of  petitions  received  the  dis- 
position being  rather  toward  an  increase.  So  far  as  the  writer 
has  been  able  to  check  up  there  has  been  no  let  down  in  the 
number  of  petitions  received  where  the  fees  were  increased. 
This  would  lead  to  the  belief  that  it  is  the  popularity  of  the 


X 

institution  which  attracts  men  and  they  are  wiUing  to  pay  any 
fair  price  exacted  for  the  degrees  ratlier  than  deny  themselves 
the  privileges  of  the  society.  Whether  or  not  the  policy  of 
taxing  initiates  is  the  right  one  will  require  time  to  prove.  As 
has  been  before  said  nearly  every  grand  lodge  is  looking  to 
means  that  will  increase  its  general  revenue.  Whether  or  not 
the  candidate  tax  is  going  to  accomplish  the  object  desired  is 
not  known  because  the  subject  is  a  new  one.  The  outcome  will 
be  awaited  with  much  interest. 

PhYSICAI,  QUAUFICATIONS 

During  the  year,  a  number  of  grand  masters  have  referred 
to  the  subject  of  physical  qualifications  and  asked  that  a  more 
temperate  and  moderate  interpretation  be  placed  upon  what 
today  is  the  most  rigid  requirement  of  the  society.  Many  of 
them  point  to  the  large  number  of  soldiers  who  returned  from 
France  maimed  and  who  are  prohibited  from  partaking  of 
the  privileges  of  the  society  because  of  physical  defects. 

Then  again  there  is  a  growing  feeling  that  the  world  is 
passing  from  the  physical  to  the  moral  and  intellectual  status 
of  the  man  and  for  that  reason  the  fraternity  should  not  ad- 
here to  an  old  custom  for  which  there  is  absolutely  no  war- 
rant other  than  long  and  established  usage. 

What  is  the  difference  if  a  man  goes  around  with  a  wooden 
leg  providing  he  is  otherwise  all  right?  The  question  of  the 
wooden  leg  merely  enters  into  the  subject  of  his  initiation  and 
the  man  himself  so  far  as  his  infirmity  is  concerned  is  for- 
gotten just  the  moment  he  receives  his  degrees  in  Masonry. 
So  much  has  been  said  by  this  writer  on  the  subject  of  physical 
qualifications  that  it  is  useless  to  enter  into  any  extended  argu- 
ment at  this  time.  The  only  object  of  this  article  is  to  call 
the  attention  of  the  craft  to  the  fact  that  a  number  of  thinking 
Master  Masons  who  have  done  much  for  the  fraternity  in  their 
respective  jurisdictions  have  taken  up  this  subject  and  made 


XI 

recommendations  to  their  grand  lodges  looking  toward  a  les- 
sening of  the  now  rigid  requirements  upon  this  subject. 

Action  of  Coi^orado 

Every  now  and  then  some  grand  lodge  pulls  off  a  piece  of 
legislation  that  is  not  only  nonsensical  but  wholly  without  the 
pale  of  common  sense. 

During  the  last  year  Colorado  startled  the  Masonic  world 
by  passing  a  law  that  no  Master  Mason  could  receive  the  so- 
called  higher  degrees  until  after  one  year  following  his  initia- 
tion. This  action  shows,  in  a  measure,  the  general  inconsist- 
ency of  grand  lodges.  In  one  breath  they  will  declare  that  the 
sum  total  of  Ancient  Craft  Masonry  is  concerned  in  the  three 
degrees  conferred  by  the  lodge.  Then  in  the  next  breath  they 
will  commence  to  legislate  against  what  are  alleged  to  be  the 
higher  bodies  of  the  fraternity.  If  grand  lodges  are  disposed 
to  hold  that  all  there  is  to  Masonry  is  confined  to  the  three 
degrees  then  why  the  legislation  against  the  Chapter,  Com- 
mandery  and  Consistory  which  in  a  measure  are  declared  to 
be  clandestine? 

A  good  many  Masons  lose  sight  of  the  fact  that  Freema- 
sonry is  a  principle  and  not  a  group  of  individuals.  If  this 
fact  could  be  realized,  a  great  deal  of  trouble  arising  at  the 
present  time  would  be  obviated  and  done  away  with.  The 
spirit  of  the  times  demands  co-ordination.  If  the  fraternity 
is  going  to  get  anywhere,  it  means  that  not  only  Ancient  Craft 
Masonry  but  those  organizations  associated  with  it  must  join 
hands  and  work  together. 

For  fifty  years,  we  have  had  in  our  midst,  the  Chapter, 
Council  and  Consistory  and  we  can  see  no  reason  why  at  this 
late  date,  legislation  should  be  directed  against  these  bodies. 
If  any  of  their  memljers  are  doing  things  which  are  disposed 
to  reflect  upon  Ancient  Craft  Masonry,  all  it  is  necessary  to 
do  is  call  the  attention  of  the  proper  authority  to  the  sins  of

commission  and  it  is  believed  everything  will  be  rectified  and 
straightened  out. 

Masonic  Service  Association 

The  proceedings  of  a  number  of  grand  lodges  show  they 
have  withdrawn  from  membership  in  the  Masonic  Service 
Association.  The  principal  cause  assigned  seems  to  be  finan- 
cial more  than  anything  else.  Many  of  these  grand  lodges 
resent  a  tax  of  five  cents  per  membership  which  has  been  levied 
upon  them  by  the  association  for  carrying  on  its  work. 

The  writer  believes  in  co-ordination  among  all  Masonic 
organizations  and  thinks  there  should  be  a  general  under- 
standing among  all  grand  lodges  and  until  this  is  accomplished 
Freemasonry  will  never  come  into  its  own. 

The  whole  trouble  with  the  Masonic  Service  Association 
seems  to  be  that  it  was  organized  to  exploit  individual  ideas 
rather  than  adopt  a  general  policy  of  Masonic  welfare.  One 
of  the  arguments  which  has  been  advanced  by  grand  masters 
during  the  year  has  been  that  there  is  no  particular  need  at 
the  present  time  for  the  Masonic  Service  Association  because 
there  is  no  war,  pestilence  nor  other  calamity  to  require  the 
immediate  assistance  of  the  society. 

Exceptions  seem  to  have  been  taken  to  certain  methods  of 
the  Masonic  Service  Association  which  have  later  been  in- 
augurated and  not  set  forth  in  the  original  document  which 
led  many  lodges  to  join  this  assembly.  At  any  rate  the  Ma- 
sonic Service  Association  may  have  a  particular  work  to  per- 
form in  the  matter  of  education  of  the  members  of  the  society 
but  even  then  the  task  is  a  difficult  one  for  all  men  differ  as 
to  what  constitutes  genuine  Freemasonry  and  it  would  be  im- 
possible for  the  Masonic  Service  Association  to  define  a  line 
of  Freemasonry  and  say  "This  is  correct."  Just  the  moment 
they  did  that  there  would  be  a  lot  of  thinkers  and  investigators 
dispute  what  had  been  set  up  and  declare  that  the  Service  Asso- 


XIII 

ciation  was  assuming  perrogatives  which  were  not  its  inherent 
right. 

The  idea  of  a  central  Masonic  organization  is  correct  but 
it  can  never  be  accompHshed  so  long  as  individualism  and  the 
exploitation  of  personal  ideas  is  allowed  to  become  paramount. 
Let  it  not  be  understood  that  the  Masonic  Service  Association, 
by  any  means,  is  in  its  last  throes  because  it  has  the  cordial 
support  of  a  number  of  grand  lodges.  When  doulDt  as  to  its 
advantages  and  the  prejudice  of  men  are  laid  aside  the  asso- 
ciation will  develop  into  some  real  tangible  direct  service  to 
the  craft. 

Limitation  of  Work 

Among  the  legislation  recommended  by  a  large  number  of 
grand  masters  this  year  was  one  relating  to  limitation  of  work, 
that  is  to  say,  forbidding  lodges  from  conferring  more  than 
a  certain  amount  of  degrees  each  year.  If  it  is  agreed  that  the 
fraternity  is  not  able  to  properly  function  because  it  has  too 
much  work  on  hand,  then  the  remedy  lies  in  changing  the 
manner  and  mode  of  conferring  degrees. 

Every  lodge  has  a  right  to  confer  as  many  degrees  as  it 
sees  fit.  This  writer  does  not  believe  in  restricted  lodge  mem- 
bership any  more  than  he  believes  in  interfering  with  the  in- 
ternal affairs  of  the  lodge.  It  is  true  that  in  the  past  two  or 
three  years  there  has  been  so  much  work  in  our  various  Ma- 
sonic bodies  that  but  little  time  has  been  given  to  social  and 
intellectual  features  and  in  many  instances  these  have  taken 
place  after  a  degree  has  been  conferred  thus  destroying  the 
real  purpose  of  the  whole  social  and  intellectual  feature.  If 
lodges  were  allowed  to  group  their  work  there  would  come 
into  the  fraternity  an  entirely  new  interest  but  as  long  as  ritual 
is  exhalted  above  everything  else,  there  can  be  very  little  rem- 
edy hoped  for. 


XIV 

Each  Masonic  lodge  has  an  inherent  right  to  do  all  the 
work  it  wants  to  and  no  grand  lodge  should  attempt  to  limit 
the  number  of  degrees  to  be  conferred  during  the  year. 

It  may  assume  that  power,  but  fundamentally  it  is  taking 
unto  itself  something  which  does  not  rightfully  belong  to  it. 
If  there  are  evils  existing  in  the  institution  the  way  to  cure 
them  is  not  through  the  limitation  of  the  amount  of  work  done. 
The  direct  cause  should  be  sought  out  and  the  remedy  applied 
where  it  is  most  needed. 


REPORT  OF  THE  COMMITTEE 
ON 

Masonic  Correspondence 


NINFTEEN  HUNDRED  TWENTY-ONE 


DELMAR  D.  DARRAH 


ALABAMA.  A.  F.  &  A.  M. 

1920 

The  annual  communication,  the  one  hundredth,  opened  in  the  city  ot 
Montgomery,  on  the  morning  of  Wednesday,  December  1,  1920.  The  Com- 
mittee on  Credentials,  report  the  presence  of  the  ambassador  from  Illinois, 
Wm.  W,  Daffin,  and  the  representatives  of  three  hundred  ninety-eight  lodges. 
The  first  important  item  was  the  annual  address  of  the  grand  master, 
Percy  B.  Dixon.  It  is  a  document  covering  twenty-two  pages  and  is  a  con- 
cise, readable  resume  of  the  principal  acts  of  his  office  during  the  time  he 
served  as  grand  master.  He  reports  the  year  to  have  been  one  of  phenomenal 
growth  among  the  lodges  of  the  state  and  calls  attention  to  the  fact  that 
the  membership  has  passed  the  40,000  mark.  He  pays  a  very  high  tribute 
to  the  institution  and  says  that  every  Freemason  should  find  in  the  lodge  a 
home  and  in  every  Mason  a  true  brother.  He  truly  says  a  man  to  have 
friends,  must  himself  be  friendly.  He  speaks  at  length  upon  some  of  the 
objects  and  purposes  of  the  fraternity  and  says  some  most  excellent  things 
concerning  the  functions  of  a  Masonic  body. 

Only  one  decision  is  rendered  and  that  relates  to  a  matter  of  local 
jurisdiction.  Ten  dispensations  for  the  formation  of  new  lodges  were  issued 
and  one  lodge  had  its  charter  returned  to  it.  Three  dispensations  were 
issued  to  permit  lodges  to  change  their  place  of  meeting.  Several  dispen- 
sations were  issued  to  permit  special  elections  to  fill  vacancies  caused  by 
either  the  death  or  removal  of  lodge  officers.  Eight  dispensations  were 
issued  permitting  lodges  to  sell  or  mortgage  their  property.  The  grand 
Master  reports  the  sale  of  property  of  defunct  lodges.  One  lodge  received 
for  its  assets,  the  sum  of  $19.50,  while  another  lodge  disposed  of  a  half 
interest  in  the  hall  where  it  met,  for  the  sum  of  $12.50.    Five  dispensations 

15 


16  Apperidix — Part  I 


were  granted  for  the  laying  of  corner-stones,  only  two  of  them  were  for 
Masonic  edifices. 

Concerning  the  question  of  issuing  dispensations  permitting  the  initia- 
tion of  maimed  candidates,  the  gi-aud  master  referred  the  subject  to  the 
grand  lodge  with  the  suggestion  that  some  action  be  taken  to  define  the 
extent  of  loss  of  limb  or  other  physical  defects,  to  prevent  the  fraternity 
from  being  imposed  upon.  Thirty-two  district  lecturers  were  appointed. 
The  grand  master  states  that  their  reports  to  him  show  the  wisdom  of  such 
action. 

Concerning  the  matter  of  corner-stones,  the  grand  master  asked  that  the 
Jurisprudence  Committee  bo  instructed  to  prepare  a  resolution  prescribing 
the  minimum  dimensions  of  a  corner-stone,  and  defining  just  exactly  what 
inscription  shall  be  placed  thereon,  as  well  as  stating  at  what  place  in  the 
building  operations  the  stone  shall  be  laid.  The  grand  master  reports  his 
approval  of  a  contract  for  the  erection  of  a  Masonic  home,  to  cost  $50,000.00. 
Both  the  Masonic  Service  Association,  as  well  as  the  George  Washing-ton 
Memorial  Association,  received  hearty  commendation.  A  very  interesting 
address  to  the  grand  lodge  is  printed  in  the  proceedings.  It  was  written  by 
Brother  James  Bilbro,  who  was  not  able  to  bo  present  on  account  of  sickness. 
It  deals  with  the  general  purpose  of  the  fraternity  and  its  intent  is  appar- 
ently to  bring  the  fraternity  to  a  better  understanding  of  the  institution 
of  which  they  are  members. 

The  grand  treasurer  reports  receipts  of  $22,000.00  and  expenditures  of 
a  like  amount.  The  report  of  the  grand  secretary,  Geo.  A.  Beauchamp,  is 
largely  statistical. 

Oliver  D.  Street,  on  behalf  of  the  Special  Committee  on  Foreign  Cor- 
respondence, reported  that  during,  the  year  much  effort  had  been  expended 
in  ascertaining  the  status  of  Masons  in  Europe,  Mexico,  Central  and  South 
America,  and  that  while  much  evidence  had  been  accumulated,  yet  the 
information  was  not  sufficient  to  permit  the  committee  to  arrive  at  any 
definite  conclusion,  and  the  whole  subject  was  held  over  for  another  year. 

The  Grand  Lodge  of  Alabama  has  a  special  committee  which  is  some- 
what out  of  the  ordinary.  At  the  close  of  the  grand  lodge  session,  the  roll 
of  representatives  is  called  and  any  representatives  who  fail  to  answer  to 
their  names  must  make  f-atisfaetory  excuses  with  the  Special  Committee  on 
Excuses.  The  grand  lodge  stopped  long  enough  in  its  proceedings  to  receive 
the  representatives  of  other  gi-and  lodges  and  to  accord  them  a  most  fra- 
ternal greeting. 

Lodges  in  Alabama,  which  amend  their  by-laws,  must  submit  their 
amendments  to  a  Special  Committee  on  By-laws  for  approval.     It  is  appar- 


Masonic  Correspondence  17 

ent  from  the  proceedings  that  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Alabama  is  amending 
its  constitution  and  by-laws,  for  a  long  report  is  submitted  by  a  Committee 
on  Eevision,  which  report  was  referred  to  the  Committee  on  Jurisprudence. 
The  report  from  the  Masonic  home  in  the  state  shows  the  total  number 
under  care  of  the  grand  lodge  to  have  been  two  hundred  one.  There  must 
have  been  considerable  sickness  among  the  members  of  the  home  for  two 
hundred  forty-six  cases  received  medical  attention.  To  operate  the  home 
cost  the  grand  lodge  $60,245.41.  The  grand  lodge  apparently  conducts  a 
farm  in  connection  with  the  home.  It  cost  the  grand  lodge  $12,901.00  to 
operate  the  farm,  dairy  and  hoggery,  while  the  total  receii^ts  from  farm 
products  amovmted  to  $13,496.81,  leaving  a  net  profit  to  the  grand  lodge  of 
$595.78. 

The  Finance  Committee  made  a  report  concurring  in  all  of  the  grand 
master's  recommendations.  The  Committee  on  Jurisprudence  sustained  the 
grand  master  in  practically  all  of  his  acts  and  decided  that  a  corner-stone 
must  be  at  least  9x12  inches  and  that  the  inscription  should  embrace  the 
name  of  the  grand  master,  together  with  the  date  it  was  laid.  The  com- 
mittee, however,  declined  to  set  any  special  period  in  the  construction  of 
buililing  when  the  corner-stone  should  be  laid,  deferring  that  such  would  be 
impractical. 

Arrangements  were  made  for  celebrating  the  one  hundredth  anniversary 
of  the  grand  lodge  during  the  annual  session  of  1921.  For  good  and  suffi- 
cient reasons  the  Committee  on  Excuses  relieved  twenty-two  representatives 
from  further  attendance  on  the  sessions  of  the  grand  lodge.  The  final  busi- 
ness was  the  election  and  installation  of  officers. 

The  report  on  Foreign  Correspondence  is  prepared  by  Oliver  Day  Street, 
one  of  the  real  brilliant  Masonic  students  of  the  present  period.  He  gives 
Illinois  four  pages  of  discriminating  review,  prepared  in  topical  form.  He 
is  very  generous  to  the  writer  who  prepared  the  review  for  Illinois  last  year 
and  quotes  generously  from  many  things  that "  were  said.  He  does  not 
dissent  in  a  single  particular  but  endorses  many  of  the  positions  that  were 
taken.  Brothe''  Day  does  not  approve  of  the  Grand  Master 's  Advisory 
Council  for  the  s-ame  reason  held  by  this  writer,  that  it  creates  a  conflict  of 
authority.

ARIZONA,  F.  «&  A.  M. 

1920 

The  thirty-eighth  annual  communication  was  held  in  the  city  of  Phoenix, 
opening  on  the  10th  day  of  February,  at  10:00  o'clock  A.  M. 

Six  grand  officers  were  absent  and  it  was  necessary  for  the  grand 
master  to  fill  the  vacant  stations  by  appointment.  The  report  of  the  Com- 
mittee on  Credentials  does  not  show  the  representative  of  the  Grand  Lodge 
of  Illinois  to  have  been  present. 

The  first  item  of  interest  was  the  annual  address  of  James  H.  Barrett, 
grand  master.  He  opens  by  paying  tributes  of  respect  to  the  dead  of  his 
own  and  other  grand  jurisdictions. 

He  reports  the  approval  of  the  by-laws  of  three  lodges  and  reports 
several  decisions  most  of  which  apply  to  questions  of  jurisdiction.  It  is 
apparent  that  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Arizona  had  some  trouble  over  Mexican 
affairs  for  the  grand  master  reports  some  correspondence  upon  the  subject 
which  is  referred  to  the  Committee  on  Correspondence. 

Five  dispensations  were  granted  by  the  grand  master,  one  of  which 
was  for  the  formation  of  a  new  lodge. 

The  usual  number  of  requests  to  confer  degi'ees  by  courtesy  is  men- 
tioned but  the  grand  master  shows  the  good  taste  in  omitting  an  enumeration 
of  the  details. 

It  is  apparent  that  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Arizona  is  about  to  embark 
in  the  matter  of  establishing  a  Masonic  home  for  the  proceedings  under 
review  contain  numerous  documents  showing  an  effort  to  raise  an  endow- 
ment fund  of  $100,000.00. 

Among  the  grand  representatives  commissioned  during  the  year  was 
Chas.  H,  Spillman  of  Edwardsville,  who  was  appointed  to  represent  the 
Grand  Lodge  of  Arizona  near  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Illinois. 

One  Masonic  hall  was  dedicated  and  nine  lodges  visited  by  the  grand 
master. 

The  grand  secretary  makes  a  report  which  goes  into  detail  concerning 
the  various  affairs  connected  with  his  office.  His  record  of  disbursements 
shows  that  he  received  as  compensation  for  his  services  the  sum  of  $50.00 
per  month. 

The  grand  treasurer  gives  his  total  receipts  as  $5,064.00  and  expendi- 
tures as  $5,852.00,  The  total  resources  of  the  grand  lodge  in  all  departments 
is  given  as  $102,161.00. 


Masonic  Correspondence  19 

The  committee  appointed  to  attend  the  Peace  Jubilee  given  by  the 
United  Grand  Lodge  of  England  make  a  very  long  report  in  which  they 
record  the  journey  to  England  and  the  courtesy  accorded  them  on  this 
auspicious  occasion. 

The  Jurisprudence  Committee  confirmed  all  the  grand  master  did  and 
gave  him  a  clear  bill  of  approval. 

A  committee  appointed  to  prepare  a  history  of  Masonry  in  Arizona, 
opened  by  expressing  regrets  that  it  could  only  report  progress  backward. 
The  committee  state  they  experienced  great  difficulty  in  getting  lodges  to 
funiish  such  data  as  was  apparently  necessary  in  the  preparation  of  the 
history  of  Masonry  in  the  jurisdiction. 

The  grand  lodge  voted  to  raise  its  quota  for  the  George  Washington 
Masonic  Memorial  Association  and  offered  an  additional  subscription  of 
$200.00. 

The  matter  of  recognizing  the  Swiss  Grand  Lodge  Alpina  was  brought 
up  and  on  motion  it  was  recommended  that  no  action  be  taken. 

The  grand  lecturer  was  allowed  the  sum  of  $300.00  to  cover  his  expenses 
in  visiting  and  instructing  lodges. 

The  election  and  installation  of  officers  together  with  the  presentation 
of  the  customary  jewel  closed  the  session. 

There  is  no  report  on  Foreign  Correspondence.  The  grand  lodge,  how- 
ever, does  print  the  names  of  all  officers  and  members  of  lodges.

ARKANSAS,  F.  &  A.  M. 

1920 

The  seventy-ninth  annual  communication  was  held  in  the  Second  Bap- 
tist Church  in  the  city  of  Little  Eock,  on  Tuesday,  November  16.  The 
Grand  Eepresentative  of  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Illinois,  Geo.  Thornburgh,  is 
accredited  with  being  present.  The  opening  ceremonies  were  very  brief, 
after  which  the  grand  master,  Louis  Bauerlein,  delivered  his  annual  address. 
He  refers  to  the  discontent  and  restlessness  of  the  year  and  makes  a  plea 
for  the  restoration  of  the  old  order  of  things  and  a  return  to  sane  living. 


20  Appendix — Part  I 


Schools  of  instruction  were  held  in  the  various  counties  of  the  state  and 
accomplished  much  good. 

The  Masonic  Temple  property  owned  by  the  grand  lodge  was  sold  for 
$150,000.00.  Several  appeals  for  assistance  were  authorized  and  permission 
given  to  circularize  the  lodges  of  the  state. 

The  George  Washington  Memorial  Association  is  presented  to  the 
consideration  of  the  grand  lodge  and  attention  called  to  the  estimated 
amount  to  be  raised  by  Arkansas,  which  is  $25,000.00.  The  whole  subject 
is  referred  to  the  grand  lodge. 

During  the  year  the  grand  treasurer  resigned  owing  to  age  and  ill 
health. 

A  new  digest  of  the  laws  of  the  jurisdiction  was  prepared  by  the  grand 
secretary.  Fay  Hempstead,  and  he  was  given  an  extra  compensation  for  his 
very  valuable  time  and  labor. 

Seven  decisions  are  reported  by  the  grand  master.  One  decision  de- 
clared that  all  Masonic  corner-stones  should  be  laid  in  the  northeast  corner 
of  the  structure  and  that  no  ceremonies  should  be  conducted  on  Sunday. 
The  grand  master  decided  that  a  brother  who  signed  a  petition  for  the 
pardon  of  a  self  confessed  bootlegger  would  be  violating  the  Masonic  code. 

One  thing  the  grand  master  expresses  is  that  the  system  of  teaching 
the  ritual  in  Arkansas  is  far  from  being  a  success,  and  a  recommendation 
is  made  that  the  grand  lecturer  be  placed  on  a  salary  and  be  required  to 
devote  his  entire  time  to  the  work. 

One  recommendation  which  the  grand  master  made  was  that  inasmuch 
as  we  display  the  American  Flag  in  our  lodges  that  in  some  part  of  the 
work  something  should  be  said  concerning  the  history  and  meaning  of  the 
flag. 

Three  corner-stones  were  laid  during  the  year,  none  of  them  being  for 
Masonic  edifices. 

The  grand  master  states  that  he  granted  many  dispensations  during  the 
year  and  assigns  as  his  reason  the  following :  "I  have  granted  many  dis- 
pensations, perhaps  too  many.  I  have  been  free  in  the  use  of  this  authority 
because  I  am  from  a  small  lodge  and  realize  that  it  is  not  always  possible 
to  meet  and  do  work  at  the  proper  time.  I,  however,  have  been  careful  in 
granting  dispensations  to  waive  the  year  's  residence  required  by  our  edicts 
and  granted  only  one  dispensation  to  waive  the  time  of  residence  required. ' ' 

The  Grand  Lodge  of  Arkansas  had  a  lawsuit  on  its  hands  because  a 
boy  named  Arthur  Eay  had  been  injured  by  a  falling  brick  from  the  wreck 


Masonic  Correspondence  21 

of  the  temple  which  had  been  burned.  The  amount  of  damages  for  which 
the  grand  lodge  was  being  sued  was  $10,400.00.  The  trial  resulted  in  a 
verdict  in  favor  of  the  grand  lodge. 

Nine  dispensations  were  issued  for  the  formation  of  new  lodges  during 
the  year  and  two  deeds  executed  for  the  transfer  of  lodge  property. 

The  list  of  degrees  conferred  by  courtesy  is  given  in  full.  It  is  quite 
a  long  one  and  shows  that  the  lodges  of  Arkansas  put  forth  every  effort 
to  oblige  their  brethren  of  other  jurisdictions. 

In  his  conclusion,  the  grand  master  expresses  himself  as  follows :  ' '  That 
a  person  who  joins  every  branch  of  the  institution  merely  to  wear  jewelry 
is  not  benefitting  himself. ' '  Visiting  a  certain  lodge  your  grand  master 
found  the  W.M.  much  troubled  because  he  had  a  visitor  who  could  not  prove 
himself.  At  the  request  of  the  W.M.  your  servant  went  to  the  committee 
room  and  found  a  brother  taking  a  cigarette  from  a  silver  case  upon  which 
was  enameled  the  square  and  compasses.  We  remarked;  "That  is  a  nice 
case. ' '  The  visitor  replied :  "It  cost  me  seven  dollars,  I  bought  it  when 
I  took  the  Third  Degree.  I  paid  forty  dollars  for  the  degrees."  Ques- 
tion after  question  was  asked  and  no  answer  could  he  give  that  would  prove 
he  had  received  anything  for  his  forty-seven  dollars.  We  noticed  a  pair 
of  cuff  buttons  on  each  of  which  was  a  keystone.  We  were  informed  they 
cost  fifteen  dollars  and  he  had  purchased  them  when  he  was  made  a  Eoyal 
Arch  Mason  and  further  enlightened  us  that  the  Chapter  Degrees  had  set 
him  back  twenty-five  dollars.  Seeing  a  beautiful  Knights  Templar  Charm, 
your  servant  discovered  that  this  charm  together  with  the  Commandery 
degrees  had  cost  two  hundred  and  fifty  dollars  more.  Commenting  upon 
a  ring  the  visitor  displayed  as  he  lighted  his  cigarette  brought  forth  the 
information  that  this  ring  and  the  Scottish  Rite  Degrees  had  separated  the 
visitor  from  three  hundred  American  dollars,  and  yet  he  could  not  work 
his  way  into  a  Blue  Lodge.  Seeing  a  button  on  his  coat,  we  asked:  "How 
much  did  that  cost  you  ?  ' '  With  a  face  lighted  up  with  a  smile  the  decorated 
brother  replied:  "My  wife  gave  me  that  when  I  joined  the  Shrine,  but  I 
paid  seventy-eight  dollars  for  the  degree  which  included  the  Fez. ' '  We 
were  glad  to  leam  that  the  good  brother  had  at  least  one  piece  of  jewelry 
that  cost  him  nothing,  but  the  brother  continued :  ' '  The  Shrine  is  the  play- 
ground of  Masonry  and  I  am  glad  that  I  have  all  there  is  in  Masonry  and 
am  at  the  top. ' ' 

The  grand  lodge,  by  motion,  extended  an  invitation  to  the  Eastern 
Star  Grand  Chapter  of  Kansas  to  be  present  and  hear  the  address  of  the 
grand  orator  that  was  to  be  delivered  on  the  evening  of  the  first  day. 

The  grand  secretary.  Fay  Hempstead,  makes  quite  a  long  report.  He 
speaks  of  the  prosperity  among  the  lodges  and  shows  that  the  Grand  Lodge 


22  Appendix — Part  I 


of  Arkansas  has  benefited  very  materially  by  the  great  wave  of  prosperity 
which  has  swept  over  the  covmtry.  He  calls  attention  to  the  necessity  of  a 
proper  office  for  the  grand  secretary. 

The  Committee  on  Masonic  Law  and  Usage  did  not  hesitate  to  get  after 
the  grand  master  for  several  of  his  decisions  for  it  disapproved  a  number  of 
them.  This  committee  recommended  that  the  grand  lodge  appropriate 
$3,000.00  to  the  George  Washington  Memorial  Association  and  that  the 
lodges  be  asked  to  make  liberal  contributions. 

The  proposition  of  constructing  a  new  temple  was  presented  and  it  was 
voted  to  accept  the  Albert  Pike  consistory  proposition  which  offered  to 
erect  a  building  suitable  for  the  grand  lodge  and  enter  into  a  lease  for  a 
period  of  time.  According  to  the  report  of  the  board  $17,500.00  per  annum 
would  be  saved  to  the  grand  lodge. 

A  resolution  of  congratulations  was  passed  concerning  Geo.  Thornburg, 
who  was  celebrating  his  fiftieth  anniversary  as  a  Mason. 

One  thing  the  grand  lodge  did  was  to  abolish  its  Masonic  Temple  Board 
and  to  create  thereof  a  Board  of  Finance  to  consist  of  five  members. 

The  report  of  the  trustees  of  the  Masonic  Orphans  Home  is  interesting 
and  shows  that  institution  to  be  highly  prosperous  and  well  conducted. 

The  address  of  the  grand  orator  delivered  on  the  evening  of  the  first 
day  is  a  Masonic  document  which  should  have  merited  the  close  attention  of 
the  large  audience  which  assembled  to  hear  it. 

Immediately  following  the  oration,  the  grand  matron  of  the  Order  of 
the  Eastern  Star  was  introduced  and  spoke  briefly. 

The  Committee  on  Foreign  Correspondence  makes  a  brief  report  to  the 
grand  lodge  declining  to  recognize  a  number  of  Foreign  Grand  Lodges, 
principally  because  they  were  unable  to  learn  the  exact  status  of  these 
lodges  and  their  relations  to  the  craft. 

The  election  of  officers  and  the  traditional  installation  closed  the  session. 
There  is  no  report  on  Foreign  Correspondence.  The  Grand  Lodge  of 
Arkansas  evidently  believes  that  the  members  of  its  jurisdiction  are  not 
interested  in  the  affairs  of  other  states.

Masonic  Correspondence  23 


CALIFORNIA,  F.  &  A.  M. 

1920 

The  seventy-first  annual  communication  was  held  in  the  Masonic  Temple 
in  the  city  of  San  Francisco,  commencing  Tuesday,  October  12,  1920.  The 
roll  call  showed  all  the  grand  officers  to  have  been  present  and  the  repre- 
sentatives of  three  hundred  sixty-five  chartered  lodges.  After  a  very  appro- 
priate prayer  by  the  gTand  chaplain,  the  grand  master  delivered  his  annual 
message. 

He  says  in  his  opening  lines  that  the  Grand  Lodge  of  California  now 
has  two  hundred  thirty-two  constitutional  provisions  and  four  hundred 
ninety-two  regulations  and  that  the  policy  of  the  jurisdiction  is  to  reduce 
the  entire  jurisprudence  to  hard  and  fast  rules.  He  expresses  the  idea, 
which  has  long  been  held  by  this  writer,  that  we  have  too  much  legislation 
and  that  instead  of  adhering  to  basic  law,  we  have  approved  decisions  of 
grand  masters,  which  in  fact  are  merely  constructions  of  existing  laws. 

Among  the  recommendations  for  new  legislation,  which  Grand  Master 
Adams  makes,  is  one  to  the  effect  that  it  is  unnecessary  to  keep  both  a 
minute  book  and  a  record  book.  He  holds  that  the  minutes  may  be  ap- 
proved in  a  rough  form  and  transcribed  to  the  record  book.  He  presents 
to  the  grand  lodge,  the  subject  of  exempting  members  of  lodges  who  have 
held  continuous  membership  for  fifty  years,  from  the  payment  of  dues,  but 
he  makes  no  recommendations. 

A  most  interesting  recommendation  is  made  on  the  question  of  balloting 
in  groups  and  Brother  Adams  holds  to  the  same  ideas  as  this  writer,  that 
methods  which  prevailed  fifty  years  ago,  are  not  adapted  to  present  con- 
ditions. 

One  of  the  rulings  made  by  the  grand  master,  was  that  the  twenty 
dollars  for  each  petitioner,  which  the  grand  lodge  collects  for  the  use  and 
benefit  of  the  Masonic  Home  of  California,  must  be  paid  by  the  petitioner, 
not  by  the  lodge. 

The  grand  master  was  very  sparing  in  the  matter  of  rendering  decisions 
and  what  he  did  present  were  merely  constructions  of  local  law.  The  usual 
number  of  dispensations  for  various  purposes  were  issued  and  a  long  dis- 
sertation is  made  concerning  lodges  of  the  jurisdiction  doing  their  work  in 
the  English  language. 

The  grand  master  reports  a  donation  of  $500.00  for  the  relief  of  the 
Masons  of  Austria.  The  grand  master  made  a  trip  to  Honolulu  and  visited 
some  of  the  lodges  in  that  jurisdiction,  which  hold  their  charters  from  the 


24  Appendix — Part  I 


Grand  Lodge  of  California.  It  would  be  very  interesting  to  quote  all  that 
Brother  Adams  said  on  the  subject  of  Masonry  and  politics  but  space  will 
not  permit;  suffice  it  to  say  that  he  does  not  approve  of  Masons  who  are 
running  for  public  offices,  using  lodge  bulletins  and  Masonic  newspapers  to 
exploit  their  particular  claims  for  preferment.  The  Grotto  comes  in  for 
criticism  because  of  a  circular  letter  issued  by  certain  members  of  the 
organization  on  behalf  of  a  candidate  for  political  office. 

The  work  of  the  Committee  on  Masonic  Education  is  commended  and 
quite  a  good  deal  is  said  concerning  the  Masonic  Service  Association. 
Brother  Adams  endorses  much  of  the  work  of  this  society  but  he  states 
that  he  is  unable  to  recommend  that  the  grand  lodge  become  a  member 
thereof. 

Then  Grand  Master  Adams  devoted  nearly  three  pages  to  a  discussion 
of  the  controversy  which  arose  between  Gothic  Lodge  of  East  St.  Louis  and 
El  Centre  Lodge  of  California,  and  states  that  the  matter  was  amicably 
adjusted  to  the  satisfaction  of  all  parties. 

The  idea  is  expressed,  that  the  universality  of  Masonry  ought  to  mean 
something  more  than  an  empty  phrase,  and  the  grand  master  is  very  free 
in  expressing  the  idea  that  the  Grand  Lodge  of  California  should  be  very 
liberal  in  recognizing  the  various  Masons  of  the  world. 

The  grand  master  gets  after  the  inspectors  of  the  state  because  they 
devote  too  much  time  to  exploiting  the  ritual  and  too  little  to  upbuilding 
lodges  and  the  real  things  of  Masonry. 

Considerable  is  said  concerning  the  public  schools  of  the  state  and  their 
work  is  unqualifiedly  endorsed  by  the  grand  master. 

The  social  side  of  Masonry  is  taken  up  and  freely  discussed,  and  while 
Grand  Master  Adams  did  not  make  the  lodge  a  playgi-ound,  yet  he  expresses 
the  thought  that  a  certain  amount  of  social  endeavor  should  be  put  forth  by 
every  Masonic  body. 

It  required  over  eighty  pages  of  closely  printed  matter  to  convey  the 
grand  master's  message.  It  is  a  document  of  unusual  interest  and  im- 
j)ortance. 

The  report  of  the  grand  secretary  is  thorough  and  complete  and  shows 
that  during  the  year  9,336  were  raised  to  the  degree  of  Master  Mason  and 
the  net  increase  was  8,983.  The  present  membership  of  the  Grand  Lodge  of 
California  is  76,873.  The  total  amount  of  money  collected  by  the  grand 
secretary  for  the  year  amounts  to  $186,386.11.  The  expenses  of  running  the 
grand  lodge  were  $97,272.14.  The  Committee  on  the  Grand  Master's  Mes- 
sage or  Address  brings  in  a  report  that  strongly  commends  him  for  the 
very  vigorous  administration  which  he  maintained. 


Masonic  Correspondence  25 

From  the  report  of  the  Trustees  on  Masonic  Homes,  the  information 
is  gleaned  that  those  institutions  are  in  a  most  excellent  condition  and  are 
being  operated  at  a  minimum  of  cost.  California  may  well  feel  proud  of 
the  charitable  work  which  it  is  accomplishing.  The  report  is  embellished 
with  a  number  of  illustrations  of  the  Home  at  Covina,  which  are  very 
interesting. 

The  reports  of  the  various  Boards  of  Eelief  which  are  scattered 
throughout  California,  are  intensely  interesting  and  show  the  wonderful 
work  which  is  being  done  in  caring  for  those  from  other  jurisdictions. 
California  being  the  Mecca  for  tourists,  for  those  seeking  health  and 
wealth,  very  naturally  comes  in  for  its  full  share  of  contributions  to  the 
relief  of  those  who  have  been  misguided,  but  it  must  be  said  to  the  credit 
of  this  splendid  grand  lodge,  that  it  is  doing  work  which  is  unequalled  by 
any  other  grand  body. 

Among  the  resolutions  introduced,  was  one  which,  proposed  that  not 
more  than  twelve  degrees  shall  be  conferred  by  a  lodge  in  any  one  month. 
Another  resolution  which  was  introduced,  relates  to  group  balloting  on 
petitions. 

The  annual  oration  was  delivered  by  W.  Albert  E.  Boynton  and  is 
a  very  able  document  and  should  have  elicited  very  close  attention  on  the 
part  of  the  grand  lodge.  Another  resolution  which  was  introduced,  per- 
mitted lodges  to  spend  one-third  of  their  gross  income  for  social  purposes. 

The  Board  of  Managers  of  the  Masonic  Homes,  received  the  endorse- 
ment of  the  giand  lodge  because  they  had  moving  pictures  made  of  the 
various  Masonic  Homes  of  the  State,  the  same  to  be  exhibited  for  the 
benefit  of  lodges. 

A  long  report  from  the  Committee  on  Masonic  Education  was  pre- 
sented and  shows  that  some  excellent  work  is  being  done  along  the  line  of 
bringing  to  the  craft  a  better  understanding  of  the  objects  and  purposes 
of  the  fraternity. 

The  grand  lodge  adopted  the  idea  of  group  balloting  on  petitions  for 
the  degrees  but  the  matter  of  group  initiation  of  candidates,  failed  to 
receive  the  endorsement  of  the  representatives. 

The  installation  of  officers  closed  a  most  interesting  session  at  which 
much  important  business  was  transacted.  The  report  on  Correspondence  is 
presented  by  Jesse  M.  Whited.  He  treats  it  in  the  topical  form  and  quotes 
very  liberally  from  the  proceedings  of  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Illinois.

26  Appendix — Part  I 


CANADA,  A.  F.  &  A.  M. 

1921 

Tlie  sixty-siith  annual  communication  was  held  in  the  city  of  Ottawa 
Ontario.  The  booklet  under  review  says  nothing  concerning  the  opening 
ceremony  and  commences  directly  with  the  address  of  the  Grand  Master, 
F.  W,  Harcourt.  He  devotes  some  of  his  remarks  to  the  early  history  of 
Masonry  in  Canada  and  comments  on  the  prosperity  of  the  Grand  Lodge 
of  that  jurisdiction. 

The  Grand  Master  states  that  there  are  on  the  register  of  the  Grand 
Lodge,  500  lodges,  nineteen  of  which  are  under  dispensation.  Fifteen  dis- 
pensations were  granted  for  the  formation  of  new  lodges,  one  of  which  was 
to  be  called  War  Veterans  Lodge. 

The  total  membership  on  June  24,  1921,  is  given  as  88,000.  The 
Grand  Master  thinks  the  craft  is  growing  too  fast  and  that  there  is  a  tend- 
ency to  build  up  large  lodges  all  of  which  he  seems  to  think  does  not  work 
for  the  best  interests  of  the  fraternity. 

The  total  receipts  are  given  as  $133,508.00,  and  the  expenditures 
$29,752.00.  At  this  rate,  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Canada  should  get  rich  at 
a  very  rapid  rate. 

The  grand  master  made  the  usual  number  of  rulings  and  decisions. 
Some  grand  masters  seem  to  think  they  have  not  fulfilled  the  functions  of 
their  office  unless  they  issue  several  decisions  covering  matters  which  pass 
through  their  hands. 

One  subject  the  grand  master  discusses  is  the  publicity  which  is  given 
to  the  various  transactions  of  lodges.  He  states  that  no  little  criticism 
has  been  expressed  because  of  the  attitude  of  certain  Masonic  papers  to 
exploit  the  affairs  of  the  fraternity. 

The  secretary  of  one  lodge  was  suspended  from  office  for  refusing  to 
make  necessary  returns  to  the  grand  secretary. 

The  Grotto  came  in  for  action  and  very  severe  criticism.  The  grand 
master  recommended  the  adoi^tion  of  the  Colorado  resolution  in  reference 
to  the  Grotto  and  seemed  to  think  the  actions  of  that  organization  were 
disposed  to  bring  shame  and  reproach  on  Masonry. 

If  anybody  thinks  for  one  moment  that  Masonry  in  Canada  is  prosaic, 
all  he  needs  to  do  is  refer  to  that  portion  of  the  Grand  Master's  report 
relating  to  the  petition  of  two  ladies  who  styled  themselves  Grand  Master 
and  Deputy  Grand  Master  of  the  Honorable  Fraternity  of  Ancient  Free 


Masonic  Correspondence  27 

and  Accepted  Masons,  asking  recognition.  Well,  this  is  a  woman's  age  and 
if  the  dear  ladies  of  Canada  see  fit  to  get  up  a  little  Grand  Lodge  of  their 
own, — why  not?  But  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Canada  could  not  see  it  that  way 
and  made  it  very  clear  that  any  Mason  who  joined  in  this  new  propaganda 
might  expect  to  he  made  the  subject  of  disciplinary  proceedings. 

One  strange  case  is  reported.  That  of  a  Canadian  Mason  residing  in 
the  states  and  soliciting  assistance  from  various  lodges.  The  Grand  Mas- 
ter of  Canada  soon  put  a  stop  to  the  practice. 

Concerning  the  question  of  democracy,  the  grand  master  has  the  fol- 
lowing to  say: 

"A  great  deal  is  being  said  about  democracy,  and  for  the  most  part 
it  is  simply  eant.  It  is  a  much  abused  word.  There  is  a  true  democracy  and 
a  pseudo-democracy.  The  latter,  to  the  world's  great  sorrow,  is  now  hav- 
ing too  long  an  inning.  Its  leaders  easily  outvie  Czars  and  other  autocrats 
who  aim  at  the  restriction  of  universal  rights.  In  a  tme  democracy  every 
man  is  in  himself  a  ruler  in  the  best  sense  of  the  word,  practicing  the  Golden 
Rule.  Masonic  ideals  are  essentially  the  ideals  which  stand  for  the  true 
universality  and  the  only  true  democracy.  He  that  ruleth  himself  is  better 
than  he  that  taketh  a  city." 

One  good  suggestion  is  made  by  the  grand  master  and  that  relates  to 
the  matter-  of  visitation  on  the  part  of  that  official.  He  states  that  many 
lodges  have  never  seen  a  grand  master  and  he  thinks  each  grand  master 
should  leave  a  record  with  the  grand  secretary  of  the  lodges  he  visited  so 
that  the  next  official  coming  into  office  may  visit  some  lodges  that  have 
heretofore  not  been  favored. 

It  appears  in  the  Grand  Master's  report  that  the  colored  Masons  of 
Ontario  have  applied  for  a  charter  incorporating  themselves  under  the  name 
of  the  Prince  Hall  Grand  Lodge  of  Free  and  Accepted  Masons  of  Ontario. 
The  matter  is  reported  to  the  grand  lodge  for  such  action  as  it  may  desire 
to  take. 

In  his  closing  remarks  the  grand  master  makes  an  appeal  on  behalf 
of  the  Bible  and  thinks  it  should  not  only  be  introduced  into  the  system 
of  education  employed  but  that  it  should  find  a  place  in  the  home  of  every 
Mason  in  Canada  and  that  frequent  recourses  should  be  had  to  its  pages. 

Immediately  following  the  report  of  the  grand  master,  the  Committee 
on  Fraternal  Dead  make  a  long  report  and  paid  tributes  of  respect  to  the 
deceased  at  home  and  abroad.  It  has  always  occurred  to  this  writer  that  the 
Committee  on  Necrology  should  report  immediately  following  the  address 
of  the  grand  master.  There  is  too  much  tendency  at  the  present  time  to 
forget  the  dead  and  the  service  they  have  rendered  to  the  craft. 


28  Appendix — Part  I 


The  report  of  the  grand  secretary  is  made  up  almost  altogether  of 
figures  and  reiterates  very  much  that  appeared  in  the  report  of  the  grand 
treasurer.  It  cost  $29,72().0.0  to  operate  the  grand  lodge  for  the  year  but 
this  by  no  means  represents  all  the  money  the  grand  lodge  spent,  for  the 
item  of  $60,200.00  is  charged  up  to  Benevolences.  There  is  one  thing  to  be 
said  in  favor  of  our  Canadian  as  well  as  English  brethren  and  that  is  that 
they  have  been  ever  mindful  to  eare  for  the  indigent  members  of  the  society. 

The  Board  of  General  Purposes,  which  appears  to  have  been  charged 
with  much  of  the  responsibility  of  administering  the  affairs  of  the  society, 
make  quite  a  long  report.  A  great  deal  of  this  is  devoted  to  the  reports 
of  the  district  deputy  grand  masters  and  the  information  gained  therefrom. 
The  Board  are  of  the  opinion  that  too  many  lodges  are  degenerating  into 
degree  factories  and  for  that  reason  have  no  time  to  devote  to  social  enter- 
tainments. The  Board  hold  to  the  idea  that  when  a  lodge  has  attained  a 
membership  of  400  that  certain  restrictions  should  be  placed  upon  the 
amount  of  work  to  be  done. 

The  brochure  under  review  appears  to  be  a  sort  of  an  advanced  docu- 
ment sent  out  to  acquaint  the  fraternity  with  the  main  transactions  of  the 
grand  lodge  session. 

There  is  no  report  on  foreign  correspondence  connected  with  the  docu- 
ment and  very  little  that  the  reviewer  can  pick  up  that  will  be  of  use  to 
the  fraternity  in  Illinois.

COLORADO,  A.  F.  &  A.  M. 

1920 

The  volume  opens  with  a  number  of  records,  covering  the  pro- 
ceedings of  special  communications  of  the  grand  lodge,  which  were  held 
for  the  purpose  of  performing  various  Masonic  functions.  The  annual  com- 
munication, which  was  the  sixtieth,  was  held  in  the  Masonic  Temple  in 
Denver,  on  Tuesday,  September  21,  at  10:00  o'clock  A.  M.  The  Com- 
mittee on  Credentials  report  the  presence  of  all  of  the  grand  officers,  as 
well  as  the  representatives  of  constituent  lodges.  The  Grand  Master  of 
Utah,  James  L.  Cattron,  was  introduced  and  accorded  the  grand  honors 
of  Masonry.  The  American  flag  was  presented  and  America  sung  by  the 
grand  lodge.     The  roll  of  deceased  grand  masters  was  called,  after  which 


Masonic  Correspondence  29 

the  grand  representatives  were  rounded  up  and  duly  welcomed  by  the  grand 
master.  Illinois  was  represented  by  Wm.  W.  Cooper.  Frank  L.  Bishop, 
grand  master,  presented  his  address  to  the  grand  lodge,  which  proved  to 
be  a  businessdike  document  in  which  he  set  forth  the  principal  acts  of  his 
office.  He  states  that  he  made  no  decisions,  because  no  matters  arose  which 
could  not  be  settled  by  reference  to  the  book  of  constitutions. 

The  grand  master  must  have  been  very  diligent  in  discharging  the 
duties  of  his  office,  for  the  list  of  visitations  which  he  m.ade  to  the  lodges  of 
his  jurisdiction,  is  a  long  one.  The  by-laws  of  a  large  number  of  lodges 
were  approved  and  dispensations  issued  for  the  usual  Masonic  purposes. 

Two  lodges  were  constituted  during  the  year,  and  five  corner-stones 
laid,  none  of  them  being  for  Masonic  buildings. 

The  grand  master  made  a  very  startling  discovery,  that  the  grand  lec- 
turer had  never  taken  a  vacation  in  all  the  time  he  had  been  performing 
the  duties  of  that  office  and  he  was  officially  requested  to  take  such  vacation 
but  there  was  no  evidence  that  the  request  had  been  complied  with. 

A  high  trilnite  is  paid  to  the  efficiency  of  the  grand  secretary,  CTharlcs 
H.  Jacobson.  Brother  Jacobson  died  a  short  time  after  the  close  of  the 
grand  lodge.  Owing  to  the  stress  of  work  among  the  lodges  of  the  juris- 
diction, the  Masonic  Temple  was  crov>ded  to  capacity.  It  appears  that  the 
managers  of  the  Temple  were  in  the  habit  of  renting  out  certain  banquet 
and  social  rooms  to  organizations  outside  the  fraternity.  This,  the  grand 
master  did  not  approve  and  expressed  the  thought  that  the  Temple  should 
be  remodeled  and  used  exclusively  for  the  benefit  of  the  fraternity. 

The  Masonic  Service  Association  of  the  United  States,  comes  in  for 
some  criticism  by  Grand  Master  Bishop,  for  the  reason  that  the  constitution 
and  by-laws  of  the  Association  were  change<l  at  its  last  meeting  and  are 
not  now  the  same  as  when  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Colorado  joined.  The  grand 
master  very  boldly  states  that  the  constitution  and  by-laws  may  be  changed 
again.  He,  therefore,  recommends  that  the  grand  lodge  pay  the  association 
the  amount  of  one  cent  per  capita  and  withdraw  its  membership. 

The  Grotto  comes  in  for  severe  grilling  on  the  part  of  the  grand  master 
and  the  attention  of  the  craft  is  called  to  the  fact  that  it  is  still  under  the 
ban  in  that  State. 

The  grand  master  refers  to  the  increase  in  membership  as  being  the 
largest  in  the  history  of  the  grand  lodge  and  intimates  that  there  may 
have  been  some  soliciting  in  the  effort  to  procure  candidates.  He  issues  a 
warning  that  all  solicitation  is  strictly  forbidden.  In  his  closing  lines  he 
declines  to  bid  the  grand  lodge  good-bye,  but  did  say  "Good  luck  and  God 
speed  to  all." 


30  Appendix — Part  I 


The  grand  treasurer  gives  his  receipts  as  $24,779.00  and  his  disburse- 
ments as  $36,935.00.  The  grand  secretary,  Charles  H.  Jacobson,  now  de- 
ceased, makes  a  long  report  in  which  he  covers  in  detail  all  of  the  trans- 
actions of  his  office.    He  gives  the  total  membership  in  Colorado  as  23,790. 

The  Committee  on  Correspondence  makes  a  short  address  to  the  grand 
Lodge  in  which  they  state  that  they  are  still  unprepared  to  advise  the 
recognition  of  cither  of  the  Grand  Bodies  of  France. 

The  grand  lecturer  makes  a  very  complete  report  and  submits  much 
statistical  matter,  which  he  gleaned  in  his  visits  to  the  lodges  of  the 
jurisdiction. 

The  oration  was  delivered  by  John  H.  Gabriel  and  was  along  Masonic 
lines.  The  following  amendment  was  reported  by  the  Special  Committee 
on  Amendments  and  was  adopted  by  the  grand  lodge: 

' '  Provided,  That  such  organizations  within  the  State  of  Colorado 
shall,  by  duly  enacted  statutes,  requii-e  that  no  petition  for  the  degrees 
conferred  by  them  shall  be  received  from  one  who  has  not  been  a  Master 
Mason  for  at  least  one  year;  and  provided  further,  that  such  organizations 
shall,  by  duly  enacted  statutes,  prohibit  their  members  from  soliciting 
Entered  Apprentices,  Fellow  Crafts,  or  Master  Masons  to  petition  for  such 
degrees.  If  such  organizations  shall  fail  to  enact  or  maintain  such  laws,  the 
grand  master  of  this  grand  lodge  shall  withdraw  from  them  the  recognition 
heretofore  herein  granted." 

Why  in  the  world  don't  the  committee  make  their  amendment  so  as  to 
prohibit  Masons  from  joining  the  Eedmen,  the  Odd  Fellows,  the  Daughters 
of  Pocahontas,  and  a  few  more  similar  organizations?  As  a  reason  for 
the  amendment,  the  following  is  given: 

' '  The  cause  prompting  the  presentation  of  the  above  amendment  to 
our  Book  of  Constitutions  was  such  over-zealous  and  indiscriminate  solicita- 
tion for  "Higher  degrees"  as  to  become  indirect,  and  often  direct,  solicita- 
tion for  the  degrees  of  the  Blue  Lodge.  Drives  have  been  organized  and 
carried  out  like  stock-selling  campaigns.  Master  Masons  have  absented 
themselves  from  their  lodges  to  evade  such  unseemly  importunities.  Entered 
Apprentices  and  Fellow  Crafts  have  been  solicited  to  "sign  up."  The 
beauties  of  "higher  Masonry"  have  been  unfolded  to  men  not  members  of 
the  Craft,  with  the  explanation  that  the  first  three  degrees  were  essential 
to  admission  thereto — a  patent  inducement  to  them  to  petition  our  lodges. 
Petitions  have  been  sought  on  the  ground  that  but  a  few  more  were  necessary 
to  enable  the  solicitor  to  secure  certain  alleged  Masonic  honors,  presumably 
conferred  in  payment  for  such  work.  Circulars,  addresses  and  newspaper 
stories  and  pictures,  all  to  the  same  end,  have  brought  reproach  upon  the 
Ancient  Craft  and  threatened  the  subversion  of  one  of  its  fundamental  doc- 


Masonic  Correspondence  31 

trines,  the  first  of  the  internal  qualifications  of  a  man  to  be  made  a  Mason, 
is,  that  he  come  of  his  own  free  will  and  accord,  uninfluenced  by  mer- 
cenary motives  or  the  improper  solicitation  of  friends.  We  must  protect 
this  bulwark  or  abandon  it. ' ' 

The  report  of  the  Committee  on  Masonic  Study  Clubs  show  there  has 
been  some  activity  along  that  line  and  that  every  effort  is  being  made  to 
stimulate  Masonic  education  in  the  State.  Some  very  excellent  work  is 
being  done  in  the  matter  of  relieving  indigent  Masonic  soldiers  and  sailors 
and  the  Masons  of  Colorado  are  to  be  commended  for  what  they  are  ac- 
complishing along  this  line.  During  the  war  the  grand  lodge  collected  from 
all  sources,  about  $42,000.00  for  war  relief  purposes.  Of  this  amount  only 
$752.00  was  expended  and  it  is  proposed  that  the  residue  be  used  to  assist 
such  of  the  craft  as  served  in  the  war  and  who  are  in  need  of  assistance. 

The  installation  of  officers  and  the  presentation  of  the  jewel  closed  the 
session. 

The  report  on  correspondence  which  appears  in  the  back  part  of  the 
proceedings,  is  brief,  covering  barely  seventy-five  pages.  The  amendment 
adopted  in  1919,  by  Illinois  relating  to  physical  qualifications  of  candidates 
is  quoted  in  full  as  are  also  the  remarks  of  this  writer  upon  the  same  sub- 
ject in  the  point  of  view  published  in  the  correspondence  report  of  that 
year.

1921 

The  report  under  review  covers  the  thirty-third  annual  meeting  which 
was  held  in  the  Masonic  Temple  in  the  city  of  Hartford,  opening  on  the 
second  day  of  February. 

The  report  of  the  Committee  on  Credentials,  which  is  the  very  first 
item  to  be  presented,  is  offered  in  detail.  The  grand  representative  of  the 
grand  lodge  of  Illinois  does  not  appear  to  have  been  present. 

Charles  C.  Perkins,  grand  master,  presented  a  report  covering  sixty 
pages  of  printed  matter.  In  his  opening  remarks,  he  thinks  the  custom  of 
having  the  grand  master  serve  but  one  year  instead  of  two  or  three  is 
absolutely  beat  and  safest  for  the  fraternity. 

Quite  a  long  report  on  Necrology  is  made  and  mention  made  of  those 
valiant  craftsmen  who  answered  the  final  summons  and  have  gone  on  before. 


32  Appendix — Part  I 


The  grand  master  incorporates  into  his  report,  letters  from  the  district 
deputy  grand  masters  in  which  they  set  forth  their  various  transactions. 
What  they  chronicle  is  purely  of  local  color. 

Concerning  physical  qualifications,  Grand  Master  Perkins  says  he  issued 
two  dispensations  in  favor  of  candidates  with  physical  defects,  whom  he 
considered  eligible  to  receive  the  degrees.  He  suggests  to  the  grand  lodge 
that  the  law  on  physical  qualifications  be  modified  and  a  more  liberal  inter- 
pretation placed  upon  it.  He,  however,  declines  to  make  any  direct  recom- 
mendation. 

He  speaks  of  the  land-marks  of  the  fraternity  showing  that  he  belongs 
to  the  old  school  who  have  always  held  that  there  were  certain  established 
usages  of  the  Society  which  have  been  passed  down  from  time  immemorial 
and  that  it  is  not  in  the  power  of  any  man  to  change  them.  The  modern 
group  of  thinkers  do  not  believe  in  land-marks  and  take  a  much  more 
rational  view  of  the  Society. 

The  list  of  dispensations  reported  by  the  grand  master  is  in  full.  None 
of  them  are  out  of  the  ordinary,  however,  and  relate  purely  to  the  waiving 
of  local  laws. 

The  list  of  visitations  to  lodges  is  reported  in  detail. 

The  grand  master  officiated  jiersonally  at  the  laying  of  corner-stones  and 
the  dedication  of  halls.     This  is  as  it  should  be. 

The  Near  East  Belief  matter  comes  in  for  consideration  and  the  grand 
master  sent  circulars  to  the  lodges  of  the  state  urging  them  to  do  their 
full  share  in  this  charitable  work. 

Six  questions  were  asked  and  answered.     They  were  unimportant. 

The  Masonic  birthday  of  George  Washington  is  thoroughly  endorsed 
and  a  recommendation  made  that  a  committee  be  appointed  to  compile  a 
standard  Masonic  funeral  service  for  the  grand  lodge.  The  George  Wash- 
ington Memorial  Association  is  heartily  endorsed. 

Eeport  was  made  of  the  issuance  of  two  dispensations  for  the  forma- 
tion of  new  lodges. 

The  grand  master  speaks  at  some  length  concerning  the  Masonic  Ser- 
vice Association.  Ho  does  not,  however,  recommend  that  the  grand  lodge 
become  a  member  but  that  a  careful  study  be  made  of  the  modus  operandi 
of  this  society  and  if,  after  consideration,  membership  appears  to  be  de- 
sirable, that  the  grand  lodge  shall  then  become  a  member. 

The  deputy  grand  master  makes  a  report  covering  various  visitations 
made  by  him.  There  is  nothing  in  the  report,  however,  that  shows  that  he 
in  any  way  transgressed  on  the  prerogatives  of  the  grand  master. 


Masonic  Correspondence  33 

The  grand  treasurer  gives  his  receipts  as  $55,000.00  and  his  disburse- 
ments as  $55,500.00, 

Quite  a  long  report  is  made  by  the  grand  secretary  which  goes  much 
into  detail  concerning  the  affairs  of  his  office. 

There  are  one  hundred  fourteen  lodges  in  the  state  of  Connecticut  with 
a  total  membership  of  thirty-four  thousand  seven  hundred  three.  The  net 
gain  in  membership  for  the  year  1920  was  three  thousand  two  hundred 
nineteen. 

This  grand  lodge  requires  all  lodges  to  submit  amendments  of  by-laws 
to  a  grand  lodge  committee  for  approval.  A  report  from  such  a  committee 
appears  as  part  of  the  proceedings. 

The  Committee  on  Correspondence  presented  a  report  recommending 
that  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Connecticut  withdraw  fraternal  relations  with  the 
Grand  Lodge  of  Prussia.     The  resolution  was  adopted. 

A  motion  was  made  that  the  grand  lodge  purchase  an  American  flag 
and  that  the  same  be  disj^layed  in  the  East  of  the  grand  lodge  at  every 
session. 

The  Grand  Lodge  of  Connecticut  operates  a  system  of  fines  imposed 
upon  such  lodges  as  do  not  pay  their  grand  lodge  dues  within  the  time  pre- 
scribed by  the  regulations.  Six  lodges  were  disciplined  and  proper  fines 
assessed. 

The  Committee  on  Jurisprudence  did  not  altogether  agree  with  the 
grand  master  in  his  decisions.  They  held  to  the  old  law  on  physical  qualifi- 
cations and  maintained  the  perfect  limb  theory. 

The  Grand  Lodge  of  Connecticut  has  been  revising  its  laws  and  a  mo- 
tion was  made  that  the  report  of  the  Committee  on  Eevision  be  adopted 
and  25,000  copies  of  the  law  be  printed  and  distributed. 

The  George  Washington  Masonic  Memorial  Association  received  hearty 
endorsement  and  the  lodges  of  the  state  directed  to  levy  an  assessment  upon 
their  members  for  this  most  laudable  enterprise. 

The  installation  of  officers  was  followed  by  the  presentation  of  the 
customary  jewel  and  apron. 

The  report  on  foreign  correspondence  is  prepared  by  George  A.  Kies. 
It  covers  seventy-seven  pages  of  printed  matter  and  is  short  and  pointed. 
Illinois  is  given  two  pages  of  review.  The  principal  acts  of  our  session  of 
1920  arc  briefly  referred  to,  mainly  without  comment.  Ecfcrence  is  made 
to  the  correspondence  report  of  that  year  and  two  comments  are  taken.

DELAWARE,  A.  F.  &  A.  M. 

1920 

The  communication  under  consideration  is  the  115th,  which  was  held 
in  the  city  of  Wilmington,  October  6  and  7,  1920.  The  report  of  the 
Committee  on  Credentials,  credits  Harry  Mayer,  representative  of  the  Grand 
Lodge  of  Illinois,  with  having  been  present.  The  total  representation  of 
the  grand  lodge  is  given  at   196. 

The  first  business  of  importance,  follov>fing  the  introduction  of  dis- 
tinguished visitors  was  the  address  of  the  grand  master,  Harry  Mayer.  The 
fraternal  dead  are  paid  tributes  of  proper  respect  and  a  record  made  of  an 
emergent  communication  of  the  grand  lodge  for  the  purpose  of  dedicating 
a  new  lodge  room. 

The  grand  master  reports  that  during  the  year,  he  officially  visited 
each  of  the  twenty-two  lodges  of  his  jurisdiction  and  that  he  also  had  the 
pleasure  of  visiting  the  grand  jurisdictions  of  New  Jersey  and  Pennsylvania. 

The  Masonic  Service  Association  is  spoken  of  in  a  manner  commenda- 
tory, although  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Delaware  is  not  a  member  of  that  society. 

The  Maf^onie  Home  is  highly  conmiended  and  a  new  Masonic  Temple 
in  the  city  of  Wilmington  is  urged  as  an  absolute  necessity  if  the  fraternity 
is  to  prosper  as  it  should. 

The  George  Washington  Memorial  Association  is  endorsed  and  the 
lodges  of  Delaware  urged  to  raise  their  quota  of  $1.00  per  capita. 

Six  decisions  are  reported  by  the  grand  master,  all  of  which  appear 
to  have  been  mere  local  constructions  of  law. 

It  appears  from  the  proceedings  that  it  has  been  the  custom  of  the 
grand  lodge  to  serve  dinners  during  the  annual  session.  During  the  war 
this  practice  was  discontinued  but  the  grand  master  reports  that  it  has 
been  reinstated  and  that  he  believes  that  the  same  will  meet  with  the  gen- 
eral approval  of  the  brethren. 

The  Committee  on  Jurisprudence  were  very  gracious  to  the  grand 
master,  for  they  approved  all  of  his  decisions  and  recommendations. 

The  Masonic  Home  Board  of  Delaware  presents  a  report  showing  that 
there  was  an  increase  in  the  cost  of  maintaining  the  home;  the  number  of 
guests  is  given  as  twelve.     The  actual  operating  expenses  were  $1,570.00. 

The  Grand  Treasurer  of  Delaware  gives  his  receipts  from  all  sources 
as  $7,500  and  his  expenditures  $6,335,00. 


Masonic  Correspondence  35 

The  report  of  the  grand  secretary  is  largely  statistical  and  gives  the 
present  number  of  Master  INIasons  in  the  State  to  bo  4,38G. 

Election  and  installation  of  officers,  together  with  presentation  of  the 
jewel  and  the  apron  ended  the  session. 

The  Gran-d  Lodge  of  Delaware  docs  not  appear  to  have  done  very  much 
in  the  way  of  enacting  new  legislation  or  departing  from  beaten  paths. 
Its  transactions  were  largely  routine. 

Thomas  J.  Day  writes  the  report  on  Foreign  Correspondence  which  is 
extremely  brief;  Illinois  gets  about  one  page  of  consideration,  in  which  the 
principal  transactions  of  our  session  of  1919  are  briefly  chronicled.  There 
is  neither  commendation  nor  criticism  attached  to  the  report.

DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA,  F.  A.  A.  M. 

1920 

The  annual  communication,  which  was  the  110th,  Avas  held  in  the 
Masonic  Temple  at  Washington,  D.  C,  December  15.  The  Committee 
on  Credentials  report  the  presence  of  all  of  the  grand  officers  and  the  rep- 
resentatives of  nearly  every  lodge.  A  number  of  distinguished  Masons, 
who  were  present,  were  received  and  accorded  the  grand  honors  of  the  fra- 
ternity. The  grand  master,  J.  Harry  Cunningliam,  read  an  address  to  his 
grand  lodge  of  more  than  passing  interest.  He  characterizes  the  year  as 
one  of  great  activity  and  the  best  in  the  history  of  the  District  of  Columbia 
in  point  of  accomplishment.  He  states  that  he  made  many  decisions  but 
only  presents  three  to  the  grand  lodge,  deeming  the  others  to  be  merely 
constructions  of  local  law.  He  decided  that  a  petition  signed  by  a  majority 
of  the  investigating  committee  should  not  be  balloted  on,  but  he  left  the 
matter  to  the  discretion  and  good  judgment  of  the  masters  of  lodges.  He 
states  that  he  granted  dispensations  to  shorten  the  time  between  the  con- 
ferring of  the  degrees  in  the  cases  of  army  and  navy  applicants.  The 
grand  master  reports  some  trouble  with  the  Masonic  Temple,  due  to  the 
fact  that  certain  tenants  vacated  the  building  and  expresses  the  thought 
that  there  should  be  erected  in  the  nation's  Capitol  a  structure  in  keep- 
ing with  the  dignity  and  importance  of  the  institution. 

Grand  Master  Cunningham  complains  of  the  enormous  increase  in  cost 
of  printing  and  shows  that  it  costs  almost  300  per  cent  more  to  take  care 


36  Appendix — Part  I 


of  the  gi-and  lodge  printing  now  than  it  did  previous  to  the  war.  He  states 
that  the  cost  of  the  1919  proceedings  was  $1.53  per  page.  The  grand 
master  found  that  the  printing  of  the  names  of  the  members  of  the  various 
lodges  as  a  part  of  the  proceedings,  was  quite  an  expensive  habit  and  that 
by  omitting  the  18,000  names  a  saving  of  $552.08  might  be  effected.  He 
also  suggested  the  reduction  of  the  number  of  copies  printed  and  thereby 
conserve  the  cost  as  much  as  possible. 

The  grand  master  reports  that  the  endowment  fund  of  the  Masonic 
Home  is  growing  rapidly  and  that  the  lodges  of  the  State  are  making 
liberal  contributions  toward  this  most  laudable  enterprise. 

One  thing  which  was  done  during  the  year,  was  the  addition  to  the 
form  of  petition  of  a  number  of  new  questions  relating  to  former  residences 
and  parties  who  were  able  to  vouch  for  the  general  character  of  the 
applicants. 

The  grand  master  reports  a  number  of  visitations  to  the  lodges  of  his 
jurisdiction  and  indicates  that  he  discovers  quite  a  little  laxity  on  the  part 
of  investigating  committees.  He  urges  greater  diligence  in  this  respect. 
He  commends  the  custom  of  attending  churches  in  a  body  and  advises  all 
lodges  to  make  it  an  annual  event. 

In  the  District  of  Columbia  there  is  a  Masonic  Association  and  it  is 
through  this  association  that  the  gi'and  master  was  able  to  communicate 
his  ideas  and  secure  co-operation  of  his  brethren. 

One  thing  Grand  Master  Cunningham  did  was  to  prohibit  non-Masonic 
organizations  from  canvassing  Masonic  lodges  for  funds.  He  states  that 
he  felt  that  the  fraternity  had  been  so  thoroughly  canvassed  during  the 
war  period  that  it  was  not  best  to  continue  the  practice  at  this  time. 

Two  dispensations  for  the  formation  of  new  lodges  were  granted  and 
the  schools  of  instruction  conducted  by  the  grand  lecturer  highly  commended. 

The  George  Washington  Memorial  Association  received  commendation 
and  the  District  of  Columbia  sent  in  $1.00  per  capita  as  its  contribution 
towards  this  laudable  enterprise. 

The  Masonic  Service  Association  is  approved  by  the  grand  master  and 
/•epresentatives  were  sent  from  the  District  of  Columbia.  Both  the  Masonic 
emplojTuent  bureau  and  the  Masonic  relief  board  received  favorable  men- 
tion for  the  work  which  they  are  doing.  High  tribute  is  paid  to  the  effi- 
ciency of  the  grand  secretary  and  the  recommendation  made  that  his  salary 
be  fixed  at  $2500.00  per  year. 

The  report  of  the  grand  secretary  shows  his  total  receipts  to  have 
been  $28,619.00  and  his  expenditures  $23,276.00.  $340.06  was  expended 
for  maintenance  of  the  library. 


Masonic  Correspondence  37 

Thomas  H.  Young,  grand  lecturer,  presents  a  report  giving  the  list 
of  lodges  that  he  visited  and  instructed.  The  District  of  Columbia  still 
has  attached  to  it  a  barnacle  in  the  way  of  the  past  masters  degree  which 
it  is  necessary  that  each  newly  elected  master  must  receive  before  entering 
upon  the  duties  of  his  office. 

Quite  an  interesting  report  is  presented  by  the  Committee  on  Corres- 
pondence relating  to  the  recognition  of  the  Grand  Orient  of  Spain.  The 
recommendation  made  is  that  the  matter  be  held  in  abeyance  for  another 
year. 

A  special  committee  appointed  for  the  purpose  of  selling  the  Masonic 
Temple,  made  a  report  recommending  that  the  present  building  be  disposed 
of  and  the  report  was  adopted.  A  committee  appointed  to  consider  the 
advisability  of  erecting  a  new  Temple,  submitted  a  report  recommending 
that  the  Grand  Lodge  proceed  with  the  enterprise. 

Nine  hundred  seventy  applied  to  the  Board  of  Belief  in  Washington, 
D.  C,  for  assistance.  Of  this  number  534  were  male  and  436  were  female. 
Positions  were  secured  for  770  of  this  number.  Surely  the  Grand  Lodge 
of  the  District  of  Columbia  is  doing  a  most  excellent  work  in  this  respect. 

One  thing  the  grand  lodge  did  was  to  loan  the  sum  of  $1,000.00  to 
one  of  its  constituents  to  be  used  in  the  completion  of  its  new  home.  Here 
is  an  idea  that  other  grand  lodges  might  well  emulate,  and  the  conviction 
seems  to  be  growing  that  grand  lodges  ought  to^  de  something  towards 
helping  their  constituents  in  the  matter  of  securing  suitable  places  for 
meeting. 

At  St.  John 's  Day  communication,  held  on  December  27,  there  was 
a  large  attendance  of  grand  officers  and  representatives.  Tlie  business 
transactions  at  this  meeting  wore  largely  routine  and  several  matters  which 
were  carried  over  from  the  previous  session  received  approval.  The  grand 
master  was  presented  with  $310.00  as  a  token  of  the  love  and  esteem  in 
which  he  is  held  by  his  brethren. 

The  election  of  officers  and  the  usual  installation  of  the  ceremonies, 
together  with  the  pi'esentation  of  the  jewel  closed  the  session. 

The  report  on  foreign  correspondence  is  written  by  Geo.  W.  Baird. 
He  gives  Illinois  two  pages  of  most  kindly  consideration,  quoting  liberally 
from  all  that  Grand  Master  MtzgerreJl  said  concerning  solicitation  to  secure 
petitions  for  the  higher  bodies,  as  well  as  other  matters  reported  at  that 
time.  A  liberal  paragraph  is  taken  from  the  report  of  Le  Roy  A.  Goddard 
on  the  Masonic  Service  Association.  Brother  Baird  states  that  "Doctor" 
Owen  Scott  reported  on  the  George  Washington  Memorial  Association. 
This  is  the  first  time  we  ever  heard  Owen  Scott  called  Doctor  and  the 


38  Appendix — Part  I 


writer  is  much  at  loss  as  to  whether  the  appellation  means  Doctor  of 
Divinity  or  some  other  Doctor  of  the  very  numerous  family  of  M.  D.  's. 
Tho  correspondence  report  of  this  writer  is  very  highly  commended  by 
Brother  Baird.  Brief  references  are  made  to  certain  things  which  are 
said  in  the  report  of  1920  and  he  states  that  he  found  nothing  to  criticise. 
Brother  Baird  is  a  very  able  writer  and  is  doing  some  most  excellent  work 
for  the  fraternity  in  his  historical  sketches  which  appear  from  time  to 
time  in  the  press.

ENGLAND,  A.  F.  &  A.  M. 

1921 

The  Grand  Lodge  of  England  holds  quarterly  eommunieations.  It 
does  not  issue  a  regular  book  of  proceedings  but  submits  its  transactions 
in  pamphlet  form  covering  the  various  details  that  received  attention  by 
the  grand  lodge. 

The  first  pamphlet  under  consideration  relates  to  the  quarterly  com- 
munication held  in  the  city  of  London  on  Wednesday,  the  first  day  of 
December,  1920.  The  grand  lodge  was  opened  in  ample  form,  after  which 
the  pro  grand  master  makes  a  very  short  address  to  the  grand  lodge.  Eef- 
ercnce  is  made  to  a  visit  on  the  part  of  the  grand  master  to  India  and  a 
message  of  good  wishes  is  forwarded  to  him. 

Concerning  the  nomination  of  grand  master,  notice  was  given  by  the 
pro  grand  master  to  the  effect  that  at  the  next  quarterly  communication 
his  Eoyal  Highness  the  Duke  of  Connaught  would  be  elected  grand  master 
for  the  ensuing  year. 

The  Board  of  Benevolence  was  elected  at  this  communication,  there 
being  twelve  of  them.  This  board  looks  after  the  wants  of  the  widows 
and  orphans  of  such  members  of  the  fraternity  as  need  assistance.  The 
report  shows  that  the  grand  lodge  is  by  no  means  penurious  in  caring  for 
those  who  need  help. 

The  Board  of  General  Purposes  call  attention  to  a  rule  of  the  grand 
lodge  to  the  effect  that  the  grand  master  shall  not  be  applied  to  on  any 
business  concerning  Masons  or  Masonry  except  through  the  grand  secretary. 

The  provincial  grand  masters  received  commendation  and  some  legis- 
lation was  taken  relating  to  their  duties  as  well  as  defining  the  particular 


Masonic  Correspondence  39 

jewel  they  were  expected  to  wear  in  the  discharge  of  the  functions  of  their 
oflfice. 

The  expulsion  of  three  brethren  is  reported  and  two  appeals  are  re- 
corded in  full. 

From  the  report  under  consideration  it  is  apparent  that  warrants  were 
issued  for  the  formation  of  forty-three  new  lodges.  This  number  should 
not  be  startling  for  the  reason  that  E'ngland's  lodges  are  small  in  number 
and  devote  themselves  in  the  main  to  social  and  charitable  work. 

In  the  quarterly  communication  held  on  the  second  day  of  March, 
1921,  a  communication  from  the  grand  master  concerning  the  felicitations 
extended  him  on  his  trip  to  India  was  read,  and  according  tO'  the  usual 
formality  of  our  English  cousins,  he  was  duly  elected  grand  master. 

The  Board  of  General  Purposes  make  one  of  their  characteristic  reports. 

An  invitation  to  join  in  an  international  congress  of  Freemasons  of 
all  countries  was  extended  by  the  Swiss  Grand  Lodge,  Alpina.  This  invi- 
tation was  turned  down.  The  report  later  on  states  that  the  project  was 
abandoned  because  of  the  small  number  of  acceptances. 

It  seems  that  the  Grand  Lodge  of  England  is  having  a  great  deal  of 
trouble  over  the  woman  question.  Numerous  bodies  unrecognized  as  Ma- 
sonic by  the  Grand  Lodge  of  England  and  which  admit  women  to  member- 
ship are  endeavoring  to  induce  Freemasons  to  join  in  their  assemblies. 
The  grand  lodge  comes  down  very  positively  on  this  question  and  declares 
all  such  organizations  to  be  clandestine  and  spurious. 

It  is  recorded  that  one  organization  alleged  to  be  Masonic  was  even 
organized  by  women  who  sought  the  endorsement  of  the  United  Grand 
Lodge  of  England. 

The  Board  of  General  Purjjoses  gives  the  total  number  of  lodges  in 
the  register  to  be  3612. 

The  Masonic  Peace  Memorial  comes  in  for  extensive  consideration, 
showing  that  the  grand  lodge  took  this  matter  very  seriously. 

An  annual  grand  festival  was  held  on  Wednesday,  April  27,  1921. 
The  principal  object  of  this  meeting  appears  to  have  been  largely  social 
and  the  various  officers  of  the  grand  lodge  were  duly  installed  into  their 
respective  places,   followed  by  a  grand  feast  which  was  largely  attended. 

On  Wednesday,  the  first  day  of  June,  a  quarterly  communication  was 
held,  at  which  time  the  Board  of  General  Purposes  was  appointed  and  an 
election  held  to  select  members  to  represent  Provincial  lodges  on  the  board. 


40  Appendix — Part  I 


A  grand  lodge  auditor  was  also  elected  at  this  particular  time. 

There  is  the  usual  report  of  the  Benevoleuce  Board  and  a  list  of  those 
who  received  aid  from  the  grand  lodge  is  quite  a  long  one. 

The  Board  of  General  Purposes  make  one  of  their  characteristic  reports, 
exjjrcssing  great  gratitude  at  the  return  of  the  grand  master  from  India 
and  his  resumption  of  Masonic  work  at  home. 

The  Board  report  that  every  lodge  was  notified  of  its  attitude  toward 
the  admission  of  women  to  Freemasonry  and  the  craft  warned  concerning 
irregular  and  clandestine  bodies. 

The  practice  of  advertising  for  Masons  to  join  in  the  formation  of 
new  lodges  is  severely  condemned  while  secretaries  and  almoners  of  lodges 
are  urged  to  exercise  great  caution  in  giving  relief  to  persons  who  travel 
over  the  country  posing  as  poor  and  distressed  Masons.  It  seems  that  many 
imposters  have  been  infringing  on  the  good  will  of  the  fraternity. 

The  chain  prayer  seems  to  have  invaded  England,  for  attention  is  called 
to  this  nonsensical  devise  and  all  good  Masons  urged  to  do  their  utmost 
toward  suppressing  it. 

The  grand  master,  the  Duke  of  Connaught,  presented  himself  at  this 
quarterly  communication  and  was  received  with  the  honors  of  the  craft 
and  escorted  to  his  seat  in  the  grand  lodge. 

The  Grand  Lodge  of  England  does  not  issue  any  report  on  foreign 
correspondence  but  confines  its  efforts  very  largely  to  the  old  time  practices 
and  customs  of  the  society. 

Its  meetings,  while  largely  attended,  are  purely  routine  in  character 
and  there  is  shown  little  or  no  disposition  to  depart  from  the  customs  and 
practices  which  characterized  the  grand  lodge  in  its  beginning.

FLORIDA,  F.  &  A.  M. 

1921 

The  City  of  Jacksonville  entertained  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Florida, 
in  its  ninety-second  annual  communication,  held  January  18,  1921.  The 
grand  representative  of  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Illinois  does  not  appear  to  have 
been  present.  About  the  first  business  of  the  session  was  a  motion  that 
the  grand  secretary  cheek  up  the  list  of  grand  representatives  and  ascer- 


Masonic  Correspondence  41 

tain  who,  if  any,  have  not  been  in  attendance  for  the  past  three  years 
and  to  report  same  to  the  grand  master.  The  address  of  the  grand  master, 
Reginald  H.  Cooper,  followed  after  the  usual  preliminaries.  It  is  a  com- 
plete document  and  sets  forth  in  a  business-like  way,  the  transactions  of 
his  office  during  the  year  that  has  just  closed.  Proper  tributes  of  respect 
are  paid  the  dead  of  his  own  and  other  grand  jurisdictions. 

But  two  dispeusations  were  is-sued  for  the  formation  of  new  lodges 
and  the  charter  of  one  lodge  was  revoked,  for  good  and  sufficient  reasons. 

One  lodge  adopted  a  by-law  to  the  effect  ' '  it  shall  be  the  custom  of 
this  lodge  that  not  more  than  one  candidate  be  obligated  at  a  time  in 
any  degree."  The  grand  master  refused  to  approve  this  by-law,  stating 
that  it  was  an  infringement  upon  the  prerogatives  of  the  master.  Five 
requests  to  lay  corner-stones  were  received  by  the  grand  master.  One  of 
them  was  for  a  hotel  building.  All  were  denied  with  the  exception  of  a 
Presbyterian  Church  and  a  Masonic  Temple.  Twenty-one  decisions  are  re- 
ported by  the  grand  master,  quite  a  number  of  them  relating  to  infringe- 
ment of  jurisdiction  and  other  matters  concerning  the  initiation  of  can- 
didates. 

Brother  Cooper  found  it  necessary  to  issue  an  edict  against  the  Ma- 
sonic chain  prayer  which  gained  wide  circulation  in  the  State  of  Florida. 
Such  dispensations  as  were  issued  are  recorded  in  full. 

The  George  Washington  Memorial  Association  comes  in  for  strong 
endorsement  and  the  Masonic  Service  Association  receives  considerable 
notice.  It  appears  that  when  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Florida  joined  the 
Masonic  Service  Association,  a  sum,  equal  to  1  cent  per  capita,  was  ap- 
propriated as  its  share  of  the  expense,  but  the  association  made  an  addi- 
tional levy  of  5  cents  per  capita  and  this  being  contrary  to  the  under- 
standing of  the  association,  the  grand  master  recommended  that  the  grand 
lodge  of  Florida  withdraw  from  this  society.  The  grand  master  reports 
twenty-eight  visitations  to  lodges  and  states  that  wherever  he  went  he 
was  received  wi+h  great  courtesy  and  accorded  the  honors  of  his  official 
station.  It  appears  from  his  report  that  there  was  considerable  trouble 
during  the  year  concerning  the  use  of  cipher  codes,  one  lodge  being  very 
liberal  in  referring  to  them.  Concerning  the  law  on  physical  qualifications, 
the  grand  master  recommends  a  modification  permitting  those  who  were 
maimed  to  apply  for  the  degrees,  provided  they  were  possessed  of  artifi- 
cial appliances  enabling  them  to  comply  with  what  the  fraternity  requires 
of  them. 

The  senior  grand  warden,  who  acted  as  deputy  grand  master  during 
the  absence  of  that  official  from  the  State  of  Florida,  makes  a  complete 
report  of  his  transactions,  as  well  as  decisions  made  by  him.     The  deputy 


42  Appendix — Part  I 


grand  masters  submit  a  very  complete  resume  of  their  work  which  shows 
that  the  State  of  Florida  is  being  well  taken  care  of. 

For  the  George  Washington  Memorial  Association  it  appears  that  the 
sum  of  $1,933.01  has  been  collected  up  to  date  and  the  work  is  still  going  on. 

The  grand  secretary  makes  a  very  complete  report  of  all  his  transac- 
tions and  the  grand  treasurer  gives  his  receipts  at  $45,000.00  and  his  ex- 
penditures at  $33,372.00.  The  grand  lodge  appointed  a  committee  of  five 
to  visit  the  Eastern  Star  chapter  which  was  in  session  at  the  same  time 
of  the  grand  lodge,  and  to  formally  acknowledge  greetings  from  that  body. 

The  trustees  of  the  Masonic  Temple,  owned  by  the  grand  lodge,  made 
a  report  that  is  interesting  because  they  are  able  to  show  profits  of  $7,000.00 
and  congratulate  themselves  upon  being  able  to  retire  $10,000.00  of  their 
indebtedness  as  a  result  of  the  year's  management. 

The  report  of  the  Masonic  Home  Board  is  quite  long  but  nevertheless  is 
interesting.  It  cost  the  grand  lodge  to  operate  the  home,  the  sum  of 
$24,193.60.  The  number  of  members  in  the  home,  however,  is  not  given. 
In  addition  to  the  charitable  work  which  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Florida  does 
in  connection  with  its  home,  it  expended  last  year  for  emergency  relief, 
the  sum  of  $5,139.00.  There  were  four  schools  of  instruction  held  during 
the  year,  attended  by  representatives  from  one  hundred  and  fifty  lodges. 

The  Jurisprudence  Committee  make  quite  a  long  report.  Some  of  their 
findings  are  as  follows: 

"Articles  of  jewelry  that  cannot  be  removed  from  the  person  of  the 
candidate  shall  not  be  considered  in  the  matter  of  his  preparation  to  re- 
ceive any  of  the  degrees.  That  it  is  proper  for  a  lodge  in  Florida  to  sub- 
rent  its  lodge  room  to  the  Eebeeea  lodge  or  other  proper  organizations  for 
entertainments,  including  dancing.  Such  action  to  be  taken  by  the  lodge 
by  majority  vote." 

"Lodges  may  provide  by  by-law  that  any  member  who  shall  pass  in 
open  lodge  a  satisfactory  examination  in  the  lecture  of  the  M.  M.  degree 
shall  receive  a  certificate  of  proficiency,  under  seal  of  his  lodge;  and  that 
no  member  of  such  lodge  shall  be  eligible  to  an  elective  office  in  such  lodge 
until  he  shall  have  obtained  such  certificate  of  proficiency  in  the  work  of 
the  degrees." 

Pictures  of  the  Masonic  home  were  made  and  sold  to  the  lodges  of 
the  state,  the  idea  being  to  bring  the  brethren  to  a  better  understanding 
of  the  charitable  work  being  done  by  the  grand  lodge. 

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


3Iasonic  Correspondence  43 

Silas  B.  Wright  prepared  the  report  on  foreign  correspondence  and 
gives  Illinois  three  and  one-half  pages  of  kindly  consideration. 

Concerning  the  amendment  adopted  by  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Illinois 
relating  to  the  physical  qualifications  of  candidates,  he  says : 

"One  year  ago  an  amendment  was  made  to  the  code  regarding  physical 
qualifications.  This  provided  for  investigation  by  the  grand  master,  pre- 
liminary to  granting  a  dispensation.  There  were  so  many  applicants  that 
it  was  impossible  for  the  grand  master  to  examine  them  all.  After  con- 
sultation with  the  advisory  council  he  decided  that  it  is  safer  and  wiser  not 
to  issue  any  dispensations  whatever  as  it  was  impossible  to  give  them  per- 
sonal examination." 

An  extended  comment  is  made  concerning  the  action  of  the  Grand 
Lodge  of  Illinois  regarding  the  Masonic  Service  Association  and  we  take 
it  that  Brother  Wright  is  of  the  opinion  that  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Illinois 
was  not  far  wrong  in  the  position  which  it  took.  The  correspondence  report 
of  this  writer  receives  favorable  mention  and  very  generously  commented 
upon.     He  passes  the  writer  the  following  comment: 

"He  is  a  genuine  American  Mason,  all  wool,  yard  wide."

GEORGIA,  F.  &  A.  M. 

1920 

The  134th  annual  communication  was  held  in  the  city  of  Macon,  on 
October  26.  There  was  considerable  amount  of  preliminary  work  immed- 
iately following  the  opening,  among  which  was  a  telegram  of  felicitation 
from  the  grand  chapter  of  the  Order  of  the  Eastern  Star,  which  was  ordered 
spread  upon  the  records.  A  number  of  distinguished  visitors  were  pre- 
sented and  accorded  the  grand  honors  of  Masonry.  The  Committee  on  Cre- 
dentials announced  the  presence  of  Joseph  Gregg,  Jr.,  grand  representative 
of  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Illinois.  The  address  of  the  grand  master,  Charles 
L.  Bass,  covers  thirty  pages  of  closely  printed  matter  and  is  a  complete 
resume  of  the  business  transactions  made  by  him  during  the  time  he  was 
in  office.  He  passed  a  high  compliment  to  the  efficient  services  of  the  grand 
secretary,  Frank  F.  Baker,  and  calls  him  the  right  hand  of  the  grand  master. 

The  financial  condition  of  the  grand  lodge  is  reported  to  be  better 
than  ever  before.     The  grand  lodge  is  free  from  debt  with  the  largest 


44  Appendix — Part  I 


receipts  in  its  history.  The  custodians  of  the  ritual  came  in  for  hearty 
comment  on  the  part  of  the  grand  master  and  their  work  is  referred  to  in 
the  very  highest  terms.  It  appears  that  in  the  larger  cities  of  the  State, 
Masonic  clubs  have  been  organized  which  are  doing  a  most  excellent  work, 
in  not  only  creating  good  felloAvship  among  the  fraternity,  but  likewise 
spreading  the  gospel  of  Freemasonry. 

The  Masonic  Home  is  referred  to  as  the  special  pride  of  the  grand 
lodge,  and  the  endowment  fund  of  this  most  excellent  institution  is  pro- 
nounced to  be  $123,000.00.  It  appears  from  the  transactions  of  the  grand 
lodge  that  an  effort  is  being  made  to  provide  a  home  for  the  aged  and 
infirm,  for  a  special  committee  has  this  matter  under  consideration. 

The  Scottish  Rite  Hospital  maintained  in  Atlanta,  Ga.,  for  the  care 
of  crippled  children  comes  in  for  hearty  endorsement.  Foreign  relations 
are  spoken  of  as  being  most  harmonious  and  cordial.  The  grand  master 
states  that  he  granted  a  number  of  dispensations  and  justifies  himself  by 
saying  there  was  sufficient  necessity  for  granting  them,  owing  to  the 
enormous  amount  of  work  being  done  throughout  the  jurisdiction.  Five 
dispensations  for  the  formation  of  new  lodges  were  granted,  while  three 
lodges  surrendered  their  charters.  The  grand  master  makes  no  direct  de- 
cisions although  he  presents  the  answers  to  sixteen  questions  which  he  thinks 
are  of  sufficient  interest  to  claim  the  attention  of  the  grand  lodge.  Among 
his  conclusions  are  the  following: 

"It  is  illegal  to  try  a  member  of  the  Masonic  Order  who  has  been 
adjudged  insane  and  is  an  inmate  in  the  State  Sanitarium,  though  the 
offense  may  have  been  committed  previous  to  his  having  been  adjudged 
insane. ' ' 

' '  A  committee  appointed  and  failing  to  discharge  their  duty  and  giving 
no  satisfactory  reason  for  such  failure  can  be  discharged  at  any  time  by 
order  of  the  lodge  or  the  worshipful  master  and  a  new  committee  ap- 
pointed." 

"The  law  forbidding  the  use  of  Masonic  emblems  for  advertising  pur- 
poses refers  to  Masonic  emblems  connected  with  symbolic  Masonry." 

' '  Interpretation  of  Masonic  law  by  the  grand  master  when  given 
officially  has  all  the  sanctity  of  law  and  the  subordinate  lodges  must  be 
governed  and  controlled  by  the  same  until  this  opinion  or  interpretation 
of  the  law  is  overruled  or  altered  by  the  grand  lodge." 

The  Grand  Lodge  of  Georgia  permits  change  of  venue  in  Masonic 
trials.     Three  instances  are  recorded  wherein  this  privilege  was  granted. 

The  list  of  visitations  reported  by  the  grand  master  is  a  long  one  and 
shows  that  he  made  every  effort  to  meet  with  his  brethren  on  Masonic 
occasions.     The  grand  master  delivered  eleven  sermons  in  churches  for  the 


Masonic  Correspondence  45 

benefit  of  the  fraternity.  He  laid  six  corner-stones  during  the  year  and 
conducted  district  conventions  in  the  twelve  congressional  districts  of  the 
state. 

The  Masonic  Service  Association  of  the  United  States  is  commended 
and  the  recommendation  made  to  the  grand  lodge  that  it  join  the  Associa- 
tion and  pay  five  cents  per  capita  as  annual  tax.  The  George  Washington 
Memorial  Association  is  likewise  commended  and  the  lodges  of  the  state 
urged  to  contribute  liberally  toward  this  splendid  undertaking.  In  con- 
clusion the  grand  master  recommended  that  the  grand  secretary  be  author- 
ized to  procure  biographical  sketches  of  all  past,  present,  and  future  grand 
officers  elected  by  the  grand  lodge  and  that  these  be  made  into  a  per- 
manent record. 

Thie  grand  secretary  makes  a  report  which  is  largely  statistical.  He 
gives  the  number  raised  to  the  sublime  degree  of  Master  Mason,  to  have 
been  7,972.  Present  membership  in  the  state  is  61,555.  The  receipts  from 
all  sources  were  $75,100.00.  The  committee  on  correspondence  made  a  report 
recommending  that  action  on  the  request  of  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Vienna  for 
recognition  be  deferred. 

The  special  committee  on  the  Home  for  the  aged  recommended  that 
a  special  committee  be  appointed  with  full  power  to  devise  plans  and 
commends  the  erection  of  a  building  for  the  care  of  indigent  Masons,  their 
widows  and  orphans. 

A  resolution  was  adopted  by  the  grand  lodge  fully  endorsing  both  the 
George  Washington  Memorial  Association  and  the  Masonic  Service  Asso- 
ciation. All  of  the  grand  master's  answers  to  questions  were  approved 
except  one.  In  this  they  dissented  because  of  the  construction  which  they 
placed  upon  local  law. 

The  committee  looked  over  the  dispensations  which  were  granted  by 
the  grand  master  and  approved  all  of  them.  During  the  last  day  of  the 
session  a  resolution  was  introduced  that  action  with  reference  to  the  Home 
for  the  Aged,  be  postponed  for  one  year,  and  the  grand  lodge  adopted  the 
resolution.  Th's  action  was  followed  by  the  following  resolution,  which 
was  adopted: 

"Eesolved,  That  a  committee  of  three  be  appointed  by  the  grand 
master  to  investigate  a  system  of  pensions  for  aged  and  infirm  Masons, 
that  such  a  proposition  be  worked  out  and  submitted  at  the  next  regular 
communication  of  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Georgia,  in  conjunction  with  the 
plan  of  the  Home  for  the  Aged  now  under  consideration,  and  that  the  ques- 
tion shall  at  that  time  be  definitely  settled." 

It  is  apparent  that  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Georgia  has  in  its  membership 
some  thinking  men,  for  the  idea  of  pensioning  is  one  which  every  grand 


46  Appendix — Part  I 


lodge,  engaging  in  institutional  charity  today,  must  sooner  or  later  con- 
sider. It  is  far  better  to  care  for  an  old  couple  in  their  own  home  among 
the  friends  and  neighbors  where  they  have  dwelt  a  life  time,  than  it  is  to 
compel  them  to  dispose  of  their  property  and  gO'  into  an  institution  among 
strangers. 

The  Committee  on  Appeals  and  Grievances  must  have  had  something 
to  do,  for  they  report  twenty-three  cases  as  having  been  considered  by  them. 
In  each  case  they  briefly  review  the  circumstances  and  their  findings.  The 
Grand  Lodge  of  Georgia  maintains  a  Committee  on  General  Welfare.  This 
committee  makes  a  number  of  very  valuable  suggestions,  all  of  which  are 
no  doubt  of  interest  to  the  fraternity  of  that  state. 

The  Finance  Committee  fixes  the  salary  of  the  Grand  Secretary  at 
$4500.00  and  allows  him  $1560.00  for  clerical  help.  The  report  on  the 
Masonic  Home  came  just  before  the  close  of  the  proceedings.  It  cost  the 
Grand  Lodge  of  Georgia  $23,161.00  to  maintain  its  home  during  the  year. 
The  amount  paid  to  the  matron,  superintendent  and  secretary  is  $3,300.00. 
The  installation  of  offieers  and  the  presentation  of  the  customary  jewel 
were  features  of  the  closing  hours. 

Eaymond  Daniel  prepared  the  correspondence  report  for  1920.  He 
prefaces  his  report  with  a  number  of  paragraphs  in  which  he  presents  some 
very  pertinent  ideas  concerning  the  craft  in  general.  He  gives  to  Illinois 
six  and  a  half  pages  of  liberal  treatment.  He  opens  with  the  following 
j)aragraph : 

"Our  acquaintance  with  and  admiration  of  Past  Grand  Masters  Owen 
Scott  and  Alexander  H.  Bell,  whom  we  met  at  the  Cedar  Rapids  conference 
of  the  Masonic  Service  Association  of  the  United  States,  November  11-13, 
make  us  feel  thoroughly  at  home,  as  we  open  the  Illinois  proceedings. 
Brothers  Scott  and  Bell  stood  out  as  two  stalwart  pillars  of  Freemasonry 
at  the  Cedar  Eapids  meeting,  and  if  all  the  good  Illinois  brethren  are  of 
the  same  characteristics,  then  Illinois  must  indeed  be  a  GEAND  jurisdiction. 
Brothers  Scott  and  Bell  made  two  of  the  best  addresses  at  the  meeting. 
Brother  Bell  also  intimately  knows  and  loves  our  Grand  Master  Charles 
L.  Bass  and  Past  Grand  Master  ' '  Uncle  Tom ' '  Jeffries,  which  is  sufficient 
recommendation  to  our  Georgia  brethren." 

Liberal  quotations  are  taken  from  the  address  to  the  grand  lodge  of 
Daniel  G.  Fitzgerrell.  He  quotes  what  Brother  Fitzgerrell  said  concerning 
those  Masons  who  feel  aggrieved  because  the  grand  lodge  insists  upon  them 
doing  their  work  in  the  American  language  and  concludes  by  saying: 
"Bravo  Brother  Fitzgerrell." 

A  brief  paragraph  is  taken  from  the  oration  of  Edward  J.  Brundage 
and  the  correspondence  report  of  this  writer  and  he  quotes  liberally  from 


Masonic  Correspondence  47 

the  preface  to  the  correspondence  report  of  1919.  He  agrees  with  this 
writer  that  the  publication  of  the  names  of  defendants  in  Masonic  trials 
as  well  as  the  details  of  the  trial  is  unnecessary  and  unwise.  Brother  Daniel 
presents  a  most  excellent  report  and  it  is  a  matter  of  regret  that  lack  of 
space  does  not  permit  a  more  extended  reference  concerning  his  splendid 
review.

IDAHO,  A.  F.  &  A.  M. 

1920 

The  53rd  annual  comnninication  opened  in  the  city  of  Boise,  Tuesday, 
September  14,  at  10:00  o'clock  A.M.  The  grand  otficers  appear  to  have 
been  present,  but  the  representative  of  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Illinois  is  not 
accredited  with  attendance.  At  this  annual  communication,  the  first  busi- 
ness of  importance  was  the  annual  address  of  the  grand  master,  Arch 
Cunningham.  He  refers  to  the  annual  communication  of  the  grand  lodge 
as  an  appeal  in  the  nature  of  a  reunion  where  friendships  are  renewed  and 
perpetuated.  He  reports  the  condition  of  Masonry  in  Idaho  to  be  most 
gratifying  and  foreign  relations  cordial  and  hearty.  He  states  that  Idaho 
is  enjoying  its  full  share  of  activities  and  prosperity,  and  warns  lodges  to 
be  more  careful  in  the  selection  of  the  material  which  they  accept. 

The  grand  master  believes  in  Masonic  education,  for  he  emphasizes 
the  necessity  of  a  better  understanding  of  the  fraternity. 

The  Masonic  Service  Association  is  commended  and  provision  made 
for  the  payment  of  the  pro  rata  assessment.  By-laws  of  a.  number  of  lodges 
were  approved  by  the  grand  master,  and  dispensations  issued  for  the  for- 
mation of  three  new  lodges.  The  grand  master  lists  the  dispensations 
which  he  issued,  all  of  which  were  for  legitimate  Masonic  purposes. 

He  made  six  decisions;  one  was  to  the  effect  that  a  man  blind  in  one 
eye  was  eligible  to  receive  the  degrees  in  Masonry.  The  grand  master 
speaks  of  smoking  in  lodge  and  condemns  the  habit.  He  expresses  great 
pleasure  that  in  his  visits  to  various  lodges  he  found  a  strong  disposition 
everywhere  to  prohibit  smoking  in  the  lodge  room  at  any  and  all  times. 

In  Idaho,  dues  accrue  against  a  member  suspended  from  the  fraternity 
and  his  lodge.  The  grand  master  thinks  this  law  is  wrong  and  recom- 
mends a  change,  providing  that  dues  shall  not  accrue  during  suspension. 


48  Appendix — Par't  I 


He  advises  the  lodges  in  his  jurisdiction  to  pay  great  attention  to  social 
features  and  believes  them  necessary  in  the  upbuilding  of  the  lodge. 

Some  lodges  of  the  state  appear  to  have  been  guilty  of  abbreviating 
the  work.  These  came  in  for  a  word  of  censure  and  warning.  The  gi'and 
master  argues  that  because  of  the  great  amount  of  work  being  done,  lodges 
cannot  abbreviate  in  order  to  save  time.  In  closing,  Brother  Cunningham 
refers  to  the  visitations  which  he  made  to  the  lodges  of  his  jurisdiction  and 
expresses  the  regret  that  he  could  not  have  been  more  diligent  in  this 
matter.     However,  he  accomplished  much  good  through  his  visits. 

The  grand  treasurer  gives  his  total  receipts  at  $42,917.00  and  expen- 
ditures $46,436.00. 

The  report  of  the  grand  secretary  is  interesting  because  he  goes  into 
many  matters  of  detail  which  passed  through  his  hands  during  his  term 
of  office.  An  amendment  to  the  by-laws  was  presented,  permitting  non- 
affiliates  to  have  the  privilege  of  the  lodges  for  a  period  of  six  months 
after  severing-  their  connections  and  requires  them  to  petition  within  thirty 
days  thereafter  if  they  expect  to  participate  in  the  privileges  of  the  fra- 
ternity. The  amendment  goes  to  some  length  to  define  the  status  of  those 
non-affiliates,  who  stay  outside  of  the  fraternity. 

The  Committee  on  Appeals  and  Grievances  report  ten  cases  which 
came  under  their  jurisdiction.  Each  case  is  cited  very  briefly,  no  details 
being  given,  but  the  name  of  the  defendant  is  mentioned  in  each  instance. 

The  Jurisprudence  Committee  approved  all  that  the  grand  master  did 
and  presented  no  matters  out  of  the  ordinary  routine.  The  amendment 
defining  the  status  of  non-affiliates  mentioned  above,  was  after  the  three 
readings,   duly  adopted. 

Idaho  seems  to  be  taking  up  the  matter  of  Masonic  education,  for  it  has 
a  special  committee  at  work,  Revising  plans  for  the  dissemination  of  Ma- 
sonic information  throughout  the  state.  The  committee  on  returns  of  lodges 
gives  the  number  raised  as  984  and  a  total  memljership  within  the  state 
of  6934.     The  net  gain  for  1920  is  given  at  954. 

On  the  third  day  the  Committee  on  Unfinished  Business  presented  a 
report  in  which  it  recommended  that  the  grand  lodge  withdraw  from  the 
Masonic  Service  Association.  The  particular  reason  offered  being  the 
difficulty  of  raising  funds  to  maintain  its  standing  in  that  association. 

The  installation  of  officers  and  the  presentation  of  the  sigTiet  ring 
closed  the  session. 

The  report  on  foreign  correspondence  is  prepared  by  Geo.  E.  Knepper. 
Illinois  is  given  two  and  a  half  pages  of  very  courteous  consideration.     Our

principal  acts  are  chronicled  and  a  liberal  quotation  taken  from  the  oration 
of  Edward  J.  Briindage.  What  was  said  by  this  writer  on  the  subject  of 
co-ordination  is  quoted,  as  well  as  other  short  extracts  which  appeared  in 
that  report.

INDIANA,  F.  &  A.  M. 

1921 

The  104th  annual  communication  convened  in  the  grand  lodge  hall 
of  the  Masonic  Temple  in  the  city  of  Indianapolis  at  10:00  o'clock  on 
Tuesday,  the  24th  day  of  May. 

The  record  shows  that  there  were  present  representatives  of  537  of 
the  553  chartered  lodges. 

The  grand  lodge  was  opened  briefly  and  settled  down  to  business  with- 
out any  tiresome  preliminaries. 

The  first  item  of  interest  is  the  report  of  the  grand  master,  Richard  H. 
Schweitzer.  He  states  in  his  opening  remarks  that  it  has  been  his  effort 
to  administer  the  laws  in  moderation  and  in  keeping  with  the  principles  of 
the  order. 

He  refers  to  the  death  of  Calvin  W.  Prather,  grand  secretary,  who 
died  on  August  1,  1920,  The  writer  knew  Brother  Prather  very  inti- 
mately and  counted  him  among  his  dearest  friends.  His  death  is  a  serious 
loss  to  the  Masons  of  Indiana. 

The  grand  master  states  that  he  found  it  impossible  to  visit  any  great 
number  of  lodges.  Such  visits  as  he  did  make  were  of  informal  character. 
The  George  Washington  Memorial  Association  is  commended  and  Indiana 
pledged  to  do  its  full  duty  toward  that  enterprise. 

The  Masonic  Home  is  spoken  of  in  the  very  highest  terms  and  the 
general  management  commended  for  the  efficiency  with  which  it  administers 
the  affairs  of  that  institution. 

The  grand  master  pays  very  high  triljute  to  Herbert  A.  Graham,  gi-and 
instructor,  who  devoted  the  entire  year  to  visiting  and  instructing  lodges 
throughout  the  state. 


50  Appendix — Part  I 


Brother  Schweitzer  states  he  received  uumerous  complaints  from  the 
lodges,  all  of  which  he  was  able  to  harmoniously  adjust  in  a  manner  sat- 
isfactory to  all  concerned.  The  grand  master  is  to  be  commended  for 
taking  time  to  expend  in  this  noble  work  of  the  fraternity,  that  of  con- 
ciliating differences  between  brethren. 

One  recommendation  made  by  the  grand  master  is  that  the  Committee 
on  Eitual  revise  the  Burial  Ceremony,  and  the  statement  is  made  that  this 
ceremony  should  not  dwell  so  much  upon  death  and  the  grave  as  upon  life, 
the  value  of  fraternity  and  the  hereafter.  The  grand  master  is  right  and 
is  to  be  commended  for  his  wisdom  in  this  respect. 

The  grand  master  also  recommends  that  the  general  regulations  of  the 
grand  lodge  be  codified  and  brought  up  to  date. 

A  number  of  corner  stones  were  laid  and  temples  dedicated  by  the 
grand  lodge  during  the  year. 

Dispensations  were  also  issued  for  the  formation  of  five  new  lodges, 
one  of  which  was  named  in  honor  of  Calvin  W.  Prather,  deceased  grand 
secretary. 

The  charter  of  one  lodge  was  revoked  for  the  reason  that  the  lodge 
had  not  met  for  a  period  of  two  years  and  was  unable  to  confer  any  of 
the  degrees. 

The  grand  master  states  he  found  it  necessary  to  suspend  the  charters 
of  a  number  of  lodges  during  the  year,  due  mainly  to  the  fact  that  many 
of  these  lodges  were  not  properly  functioning.  Brother  Schweitzer  seems 
to  think  that  in  the  rural  districts  there  are  too  many  small  lodges  located 
too  near  each  other  and  that  with  the  lack  of  material  it  is  extremely  diffi- 
cult for  these  lodges  to  exist. 

The  list  of  lodges  which  were  disciplined  by  the  grand  master  is  a 
long  one,  showing  that  he  proposed  to  bring  Masonry  up  to  a  high  standard 
during  the  year,  and  such  lodges  as  failed  to  meet  this  standard  might  pre- 
pare for  their  demise.  One  lodge  in  particular  was  disciplined  for  per- 
mitting the  White  Shrine  to  meet  in  its  building.  The  statement  is  made 
that  under  the  laws  of  Indiana  none  but  legitimate  Masonic  organizations 
can  meet  in  Masonic  lodge  rooms. 

The  grand  master  refused  to  approve  an  amendment  to  lodge  by-laws 
exempting  the  secretary  and  tyler  from  the  pajTiient  of  dues. 

One  decision  rendered  was  that  a  lodge  of  instruction  can  only  be  held 
by  a  subordinate  lodge. 


Masonic  Correspondence  51 

The  grand  master  very  forcibly  rules  against  degree  teams  not 
sponsored  by  some  particular  lodge  and  holds  that  all  of  the  members 
of  a  degree  team  must  be  in  good  standing  in  one  lodge. 

Concerning  the  matter  of  lodge  dues,  the  attention  of  the  grand  lodge 
is  called  to  the  fact  that  over  100  lodges  in  Indiana  charge  annual  dues 
of  $2.00  or  less.  The  grand  master  thinks  the  subject  is  one  of  sufficient 
importance  to  receive  the  recognition  of  the  grand  lodge  and  recommends 
the  fixing  of  the  minimum  amount  of  annual  dues  that  may  be  charged. 

The  playing  of  card  games  as  well  as  pool  and  billiards  on  Sunday 
is  severely  condemned  and  a  recommendation  made  that  all  Masonic  lodges 
operating  club  rooms  be  required  to  close  them  on  the  Sabbath  day. 

Attention  is  called  to  the  fact  that  subordinate  lodges  must  retain  and 
maintain  complete  jurisdiction  over  all  rooms  or  quarters  used  or  occupied 
by  the  lodge  for  business,  ritualistic  or  social  purposes. 

Begging  and  soliciting  in  Masonic  lodge  rooms  and  among  Masons  is 
severely  condemned  and  a  recommendation  made  that  a  larger  number  of 
rituals  be  given  to  each  lodge  in  order  that  more  brethren  may  have  an 
opportunity  to  study  the  ritual  of  the  fraternity. 

The  grand  treasurer  gives  his  total  receipts  as  $53,864.00  and  expen- 
ditures as  $40,788.00.  The  grand  secretary's  report  goes  largely  into 
matters  of  detail  and  sums  up  the  various  matters  vehich  passed  through 
his  hands  during  the  year. 

The  year  under  review  must  have  been  a  prosperous  one  for  Indiana, 
for  the  number  raised  is  given  at  11,391  and  the  present  membership  108,021. 

One  of  the  pleasing  features  of  the  grand  lodge  was  the  presentation 
of  a  building  at  the  Masonic  Home  erected  by  the  Scottish  Kite  and  which 
cost  $150,000.00.  This  is  a  very  forcible  example  of  Masonic  co-ordination 
and  shows  what  may  be  accomplished  when  all  Masonic  institutions  labor 
together  for  a  common  cause. 

The  report  made  by  the  Board  of  Managers  of  the  Masonic  Home  is 
interesting  and  shows  Indiana  is  doing  its  full  share  toward  caring  for  the 
helpless  members  of  the  fraternity  as  well  as  looking  after  the  orphans 
of  deceased  Master  Masons.    The  total  number  in  the  home  is  given  at  205. 

Quite  a  long  report  is  made  by  the  grand  lecturer,  Herbert  A.  Graham, 
in  which  he  gives  a  resume  of  his  official  acts  as  grand  instructor  for  the 
Grand  Lodge  of  Indiana. 

The  Committee  on  Jurisprudence  present  a  report  which  is  pretty  well 
split  up.     The  committee  are  of  the  opinion,  however,  that  the  question 


52  Appendix — Part  I 


of  annual  dues  should  be  left  entirely  with  the  individual  lodge.  The  ques- 
tion of  furnishing  additional  rituals  to  each  subordinate  lodge  was  approved. 
The  question  of  appointing  a  committee  to  prepare  a  new  Masonic  funeral 
service  received  approval.  The  question  of  closing  Masonic  club  rooms  on 
Sunday  was  endorsed  by  the  committee.  The  grand  master  was  sustained 
in  the  stand  which  he  took  forbidding  lodges  to  use  two  lodge  rooms  at 
the  same  time. 

The  Grand  Lodge  of  Panama  was  formally  recognized,  after  which 
the  grand  lodge  adjourned  for  the  annual  dinner. 

The  Grand  Lodge  of  Indiana  proposes  to  build  up  an  endowment  fund 
for  the  Masonic  Home,  for  an  amendment  was  adopted  exacting  a  fee  of 
$5.00  for  each  candidate  initiated  which  amount  is  to  be  paid  by  the  lodge 
which  the  candidate  joins. 

A  resolution  endorsing  the  public  schools  of  Indiana  was  adopted  with 
great  enthusiasm. 

The  installation  of  officers  and  the  presentation  of  the  customary  jewel 
closed  this  very  interesting  session. 

Elmer  F.  Gay,  past  grand  master,  writes  the  correspondence  report, 
which  is  brief  and  to  the  point.  He  gives  Illinois  one  and  one-half  pages 
of  consideration,  quoting  all  that  Grand  Master  Fitzgerrell  said  concerning 
the  Grotto  and  quotes  a  paragraph  concerning  the  Jacob  Euehl  case,  from 
which  it  is  apparent  the  action  taken  by  this  grand  lodge  is  thoroughly  en- 
dorsed by  Brother  Gay.

IRELAND,  A.  F.  &  A.  M. 

1920 

On  St.  John's  Day,  December  27,  the  grand  lodge  appears  to  have 
held  a  stated  communication.  The  deputy  grand  master  delivered  quite  a 
long  address  in  which  he  discusses  various  matters  of  interest  to  the  craft 
in  that  jurisdiction,  indulging  largely  in  reminiscence  and  historical  ref- 
erence. At  the  conclusion  of  his  address  a  resolution  was  adopted  endors- 
ing the  work  of  Sir  Charles  Cameron,  CJ3.,  who  recently  retired  from  the 
office  of  deputy  grand  master. 


Masonic  Correspondence  53 

The  deputy  grand  secretary  submits  a  report  covering  numerous  items 
which  passed  through  his  office  during  the  year.  He  announces  the  publi- 
cation of  a  volume  containing  the  names  of  5600  brethren  belonging  to 
the  lodges  of  Ireland  who  were  engaged  in  the  war.  The  grand  secretary 
reports  a  number  of  amendments  to  the  by-laws  which  had  been  adopted 
at  the  December  communication  of  the  grand  lodge  and  pronounces  the 
establishment  of  eighteen  new  lodges. 

The  supervisors  of  the  various  jurisdictions  make  reports  to  the  grand 
secretary  which  are  printed  in  full  in  the  proceedings  and  show  the  craft 
to  be  in  a  prosperous  condition.  The  grand  secretary  announces  that  it  is 
impossible  for  him  to  give  the  exact  financial  record  of  the  grand  lodge 
for  the  year  of  1919,  but  that  such  figures  as  are  available  show  that  the 
income  was  greater  than  that  of  any  preceding  year. 

The  Grand  Lodge  of  Ireland  does  its  full  share  of  charitable  work, 
for  it  maintains  a  splendid  school  for  the  education  of  the  children  of  its 
indigent  members. 

There  is  no  correspondence  report  connected  with  the  very  brief 
pamphlet  which  is  in  the  hands  of  the  reviewer  and  a  complete  resume  of 
the  grand  lodge  is  difficult  from  the  very  terse  manner  in  which  its  trans- 
actions were  recorded  in  the  proceedings.

KANSAS,  A.  F.  &  A.  M. 

1921 

The  city  of  Wichita  had  the  pleasure  of  entertaining  the  Grand  Lodge 
of  Kansas,  assembled  in  the  65th  annual  communication.  The  sessions  were 
held  in  the  banquet  hall  of  the  Scottish  Eite  Temple.  Immediately  after 
the  opening  ceremonies,  announcement  was  made  of  a  ruling  to  the  effect 
that  no  mileage  would  be  allowed  to  anyone  who  was  not  present  at  all  of 
the  sessions  unless  excused  for  good  and  sufficient  reasons. 

Albert  K.  Wilson,  grand  secretary,  was  seriously  ill  and  unable  to  be 
present.  The  roll  call  disclosed  the  presence  of  the  grand  representative  of 
Illinois,  Eichard  E.  Bird.  The  total  attendance  on  the  grand  lodge  was 
799.  The  first  business  of  importance  was  the  annual  address  of  the  grand 
master,  Alex  A.  Sharp.  He  said  that  the  year  had  been  a  busy  one  fraught 
with  bitter  and  sweet,  the  latter  predominating.     The  net  gain  in  mem- 


54  Appendix — Part  I 


bership  is  given  as  7,420  and  the  present  membership  62,992.  One  recom- 
mendation made  by  the  grand  master  was  that  all  lodges  that  had  photo- 
graphic copies  of  their  charters  be  instructed  to  destroy  them.  Three  lodges 
suffered  losses  of  their  entire  property  by  fire  during  the  year. 

The  grand  master  laid  five  corner-stones,  none  of  them,  however,  being 
for  Masonic  buildings.  One  Masonic  lodge  hall  was  dedicated  according  to 
the  ancient  ceremonies  of  the  Craft. 

The  grand  master  states  that  he  issued  a  considerable  number  of  dis- 
pensations to  confer  degrees  out  of  time  and  collected  $505.00  as  fees 
therefor.  The  grand  lecturers  are  commended  very  highly.  They  are 
spoken  of  as  deliberate  and  accurate  and  that  they  display  dignified 
courtesy. 

The  grand  master  made  quite  a  number  of  visitations  to  the  lodges  of 
his  district  but  states  that  it  was  impossible  to  attend  as  many  functions 
as  he  would  have  liked.  One  recommendation  which  the  grand  master  made 
was  that  a  copy  of  the  Monitor  be  presented  to  every  newly  raised  Master 
Mason.    The  necessity  for  Masonic  trials  is  seriously  deplored. 

The  grand  master  states  that  the  only  thing  in  which  he  finds  consola- 
tion is  the  fact  that  there  are  so  few  trials  in  proportion  to  the  large  mem- 
bership in  the  State.  The  writer  likes  what  he  said  concerning  the  physical 
qualifications  of  candidates  and  takes  the  liberty  of  quoting:  "It  seems 
to  me  that  during  the  generations  of  the  recent  past,  there  have  been  such 
changes  in  the  world 's  progress,  in  the  occupations  of  man,  that  the  reasons 
for  the  original  rule  of  excluding  all  maimed  petitioners  no  longer  exists. 
That  speculative  Masonry  with  its  beautiful  lessons  and  ceremonies  might 
well  be  broadened  to  include  those  that  in  a  degree  have  been  impaired  in 
their  usefulness  for  manual  labor,  and  that  those  who  work  mentally,  though 
physically  impaired,  may  be  privileged  to  commune  with  those  who  work 
manually,  and  that  a  defect  in  one's  manual  or  physical  qualifications  may 
not  be  as  serious  as  a  defect  in  one  's  mental  and  moral  qualifications. ' ' 

The  grand  master  reports  a  total  of  156  in  the  Masonic  Home  during 
the  year.  Soon  after  his  installation  grand  master  Farreely  issued  a  letter 
to  the  lodges  of  his  jurisdiction  in  which  he  set  forth  very  explicitly  just 
what  he  expected  from  them  in  the  way  of  the  work  and  other  details.  The 
decisions  which  he  submits  are  very  few. 

The  subject  of  dancing  came  up  for  consideration.  One  lodge  which 
had  erected  a  magnificent  temple  and  was  permitting  dancing  in  the  dining 
room,  came  in  for  the  attention  of  the  grand  master  with  the  result  that 
the  following  decision  was  rendered: 

"There  is  no  distinction  or  difference  in  the  application  of  Masonic 
Law,  between  a  lodge  room  and  any  other  room  of  a  Masonic  Temple  or 


Masonic  Correspondence  55 

building,  whether  such  other  room  is  above,  below  or  alongside  of  the  lodge 
room,  in  such  building  owned  or  controlled  in  whole  or  in  part  by  the 
Lodge  and  used  exclusively  for  Masonic  purposes.  A  part  of  a  Masonic 
building  cannot  be  erected  and  dedicated  to  God  and  a  part  to  frivolous 
entertainment.  It  is  therefore  unlawful  to  use  any  part  of  such  Masonic 
Temple  or  building,  '  for  dancing  purposes '  or  to  form  or  maintain  a 
'  dancing  department '  or  '  headquarter  dancing  department '  in  any  part  of 
such  building,  or  to  hold  entertainments  of  any  kind  therein,  to  which  an 
admission  or  other  fee  is  charged  or  collected." 

The  fraternal  relations  of  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Kansas  with  the  Ma- 
sonic world  are  represented  to  be  most  cordial. 

The  grand  treasurer  gives  his  total  receipts  at  $78,929.00  and  disburse- 
ments $88,861.00.  The  report  of  the  grand  secretary,  Albert  K.  Wilson,  is 
quite  a  long  one  and  goes  much  into  detail  concerning  the  affairs  of  his 
office.  His  report  together  with  the  various  tables  which  he  ijresents  covers 
almost  fifty  pages.  Kansas  maintains  a  most  creditable  library,  for  the 
report  of  the  librarian  which  was  presented  was  that  the  work  of  that 
department  is  growing  and  is  finding  favor  among  the  Craft. 

During  the  session  of  the  Grand  Lodge  the  children  from  the  Masonic 
Home  appeared  on  the  platform  where  they  executed  a  march  and  sang  a 
patriotic  song.  They  were  given  an  enthusiastic  reception.  The  oration 
was  delivered  on  the  afternoon  of  the  second  day,  the  grand  orator  being 
Clarence  E.  Pile.  He  delivered  a  most  excellent  address  which  no  doubt 
found  favor  with  the  brethren.  The  Grand  Lodge  of  Kansas  held  an  eve- 
ning session  on  the  second  day  at  which  the  work  was  exemplified  by  the 
grand  lecturer.  In  order  to  provide  more  money  for  the  mairrtenanee  of  the 
Masonic  Home,  the  grand  lodge  adopted  an  amendment  requiring  a  fee  of 
$5.00  on  each  candidate  raised  to  the  sublime  degree  of  Master  Mason. 

The  report  of  the  secretary  of  the  Masonic  Home  is  a  long  one  in 
which  there  is  detailed  every  matter  connected  with  that  institution. 

The  Committee  on  Chartered  Lodges  make  an  interesting  report  show- 
ing that  they  are  very  careful  in  checking  up  the  annual  returns  of  lodges 
and  arranging  statistical  matters.  The  Special  Committee  on  Masonic 
Usages  and  Customs  makes  a  report  but  fails  to  agree  with  the  grand  master 
that  there  should  be  any  change  in  the  law  on  physical  qualifications. 

A  recommendation  from  the  grand  secretary  to  change  the  time  of 
the  meeting  of  the  grand  lodge  to  one  month  later  did  not  find  favor  with 
the  Committee  on  Usages  and  Customs.  They  seem  to  think  that  such  a 
change  would  be  to  favor  the  lodge  in  the  matter  of  extending  latitude  in 
the  matter  of  reports. 


56  Appendix — Part  I 


The  Committee  on  Jurispriulence  brought  in  quite  a  long  report  in 
which  they  approve  practically  all  of  the  decisions  of  the  grand  master  and 
made  several  other  recommendations.  They  could  see  no  reason  for  chang- 
ing the  present  law  on  physical  qualifications  and  expressed  the  belief  that 
all  members  of  the  fraternity  should  be  perfect  in  limb  and  body. 

The  matter  of  joining  the  Masonic  Service  Association  was  referred 
to  the  council  of  administration  with  the  request  that  a  'thorough  investi- 
gation be  made  and  a  report  presented  at  the  next  meeting  of  the  grand 
lodge. 

The  installation  of  officers  and  the  presentation  of  the  jewel  were 
features  of  the  closing  hours  of  the  session. 

The  report  on  Foreign  Correspondence  is  prepared  by  Albert  K.  Wilson. 
He  treats  Illinois  very  generously,  giving  it  three  and  one  half  pages  of 
kindly  and  courteous  consideration.  He  quotes  liberally  from  the  address  of 
Grand  Master  Fitzgerrell  and  seems  to  agree  with  a  great  deal  that  he  said 
concerning  the  Grotto.  Brother  Wilson  comments  at  considerable  length 
one  paragraph,  which  is  reproduced  herewith: 

' '  The  action  of  the  grand  master  was  approved  by  the  grand  lodge  and 
we  feel  justified  in  adding  just  one  more  stamp  of  approval  from  the  Sun- 
flower State.  The  writer  of  this  report  was  importuned  and  accepted  an 
invitation  a  short  time  ago  to  attend  an  entertainment  given  by  one  of  the 
ladies'  organizations  who  hold  their  meetings  in  one  of  our  Masonic  Halls, 
and  while  the  entertainment  was  not  given  in  the  Hall  proper,  but  in  the 
banquet  room,  it  was  advertised  and  kno-mi  as  a  'Masonic'  circus  and  it 
certainly  was  even  more  than  that,  as  the  old  'midway'  of  the  ancient 
days  of  the  World's  Fair  for  din  and  noise,  could  scarcely  be  used  as  a 
comparison  and  in  the  midst  of  the  revelry,  one  of  the  tables  which  was 
used  as  a  place  for  resting,  gave  way  and  two  of  the  ladies  were  badly 
injured.     And  all  of  this  was  inipropeily  credited  to  'Masonry.'  " 

He  comments  on  one  or  two  paragraphs  in  the  correspondence  report 
of  1920  and  seems  to  think  that  the  historical  records  as  kept  by  the  Grand 
Lodge  of  Kansas  are  beyond  criticism  and  believes  that  the  system  of  in- 
struction in  vogue  in  that  State  cannot  be  surpassed.

KENTUCKY,  F.  &  A.  M. 

1920 

The  120th  annual  communication  was  held  in  the  Masonic  Temi:)le  at 
Louisville  commencing  Tuesday,  October  19.  The  Committee  on  Cre- 
dentials reported  a  constitutional  quorum  present  after  which  the  grand 
master,  Henry  S.  McElroy,  delivered  his  annual  address.  He  states  that 
during  the  past  twelve  months  only  three  cases  of  discord  arose  and  none  of 
them  were  of  serious  moment. 

The  grand  master  reports  the  settlement  of  a  law  suit  which  arose 
because  ice  from  the  Masonic  Temple  broke  and  an  adjoining  structure 
received  considerable  damage.  The  owner  sued  for  $800.00  and  the  matter 
was  finally  compromised  by  the  payment  of  one-half  the  amount. 

The  grand  master  reported  approval  of  the  bonds  of  the  secretary  and 
treasurer  in  the  sum  of  $10,000.00  each. 

During  the  year,  five  corner-stones  were  laid,  most  of  them  being  for 
structures  other  than  Masonic  and  one  Masonic  lodge  room  was  formally 
dedicated. 

The  grand  master  stated  that  he  granted  162  dispensations  to  confer 
the  Entered  Apprentice  degree  on  more  than  five  at  one  time.  He  recom- 
mends to  the  grand  lodge  that  this  regulation  be  repealed.  Among  the  dis- 
pensations refused  by  him  was  one  permitting  a  lodge  to  join  in  an 
Armistice  parade,  another  dispensation  refused  was  to  permit  a  lodge  to  hold 
Masonic  services  at  the  grave  of  a  Brother  after  he  had  been  buried. 

The  usual  number  of  requests  to  confer  degrees  by  courtesy  were  granted 
and  likewise  submitted  to  other  jurisdictions. 

Masonry  in  Kentucky  gives  evidence  of  prosperity  for  seven  dispen- 
sations for  the  formation  of  new  lodges  were  issued. 

The  grand  master  chronicles  his  visitations  to  lodges  and  gives  in  detail 
the  various  social  events  which  he  attended. 

He  reports  the  sale  of  the  Masonic  Temple  in  Louisville  for  the  sum 
of  $300,000.00. 

The  Grand  Master  finds  some  fault  with  the  Masonic  Service  Associa- 
tion principally  because  it  has  not  carried  out  its  original  ideas.  The  fact 
that  the  Association  proposes  raising  the  annual  dues,  leads  the  grand  master 
to  recommend  that  it  withdraw  from  the  Association. 

Nine  opinions  are  rendered.  All  of  them  are  of  minor  import  and  con- 
tain nothing  unusual. 


58  Appendix — Part  I 


The  Widow  and  Orphans'  Home  comes  in  for  strong  commendation  and 
the  grand  master  states  that  they  are  approximating  the  goal  of  $1,000,000.00 
which  soon  is  to  be  used  in  the  building  of  an  institution  which  will  be  a 
credit  to  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Kentucky.  He  warns  the  grand  lodge,  how- 
ever, not  to  act  too  hastily  and  before  any  final  plans  are  agreed  upon  the 
grand  lodge  will  consider  both  the  institutional  and  the  cottage  plan.  He 
states  they  have  only  one  object  in  view  and  that  is  the  interest  of  the 
widow  and  the  orphan  under  their  charge. 

The  grand  master  states  that  during  the  year  of  his  administration 
he  declined  for  most  part,  invitations  to  banquets  and  meetings  of  pleasure 
and  devoted  his  entire  energy  toward  the  administering  of  the  affairs  of 
his  office  as  well  as  raising  money  to  help  augment  the  $1,000,000.00  fund. 

The  Order  of  the  Eastern  Star  comes  in  for  some  commendation  and 
the  grand  master  states  that  the  organization  proposes  to  raise  $100,000.00 
for  some  specified  building  on  the  site  of  the  new  home. 

Grand  Master  McElroy  thinks  all  grand  masters  should  have  some  dis- 
tinctive badge  whereby  they  may  be  known  in  the  Masonic  world  and  he 
suggested  the  lapel  button  and  even  goes  so  far  as  to  recommend  that  a 
committee  be  appointed  to  select  and  purchase  a  button  for  each  past  grand 
master. 

The  grand  treasurer  reports  total  receipts  of  $140,857.00  and  disburse- 
ments of  $141,196.00. 

The  grand  secretary,  Dave  Jackson,  makes  one  of  his  characteristic 
reports  and  goes  considerably  into  detail  concerning  the  affairs  of  his  oflice. 
He  gives  the  total  number  of  Masons  in  Kentucky  at  the  present  time  to 
be  60,021. 

One  of  the  pleasing  features  of  the  Masonic  session  was  an  entertain- 
ment given  by  the  children  of  the  Masonic  Home  at  2:30  o'clock  P.  M., 
on  the  first  day.  It  is  needless  to  say  that  the  Brethren  enjoyed  this  most 
delightful  affair. 

The  Masonic  Employment  Bureau  of  Louisville  make  a  most  interesting 
report.  Two  hundred  eighty-nine  applied  for  positions  of  which  number 
231  were  satisfactorily  placed.  It  cost  the  grand  lodge  the  sum  of  $1,078.00 
to  carry  on  this  good  work. 

The  Grand  Lodge  of  Kentucky  has  a  special  committee  known  as  the 
Educational  Trustees.  They  are  creating  a  fund  to  be  used  in  the  educa- 
tion of  the  children  of  deceased  Masons.  During  the  year  of  1919  forty-four 
children  were  helped  in  the  matter  of  education  at  a  cost  to  the  grand 
lodge  of  $7,569.00. 


Masonic  Correspondence  59 

Brother  Thomas  E.  Marshall,  vice-president  of  the  United  States,  was 
introduced  to  the  grand  lodge  and  delivered  one  of  his  characteristic  ad- 
dresses. The  grand  secretary  in  preparing  the  proceedings,  showed  the 
bad  taste  to  add  after  the  name  of  Brother  Marshall  "33rd°''.  The 
writer  knows  Brother  Marshall  intimately  and  believes  that  if  he  had  his 
choice  he  would  not  wish  to  have  Scottish  Eite  matters  mixed  up  with  the 
affairs  of  Ancient  Craft  Masonry. 

The  Committee  on  Jurisprudence  present  a  report  covering  two  pages. 
They  are  very  generous  to  the  grand  master  and  approve  practically  all  of 
his  actions.  This  Committee  presents  no  new  matter  which  may  be  consid- 
ered of  unusual  interest. 

The  report  from  the  Masonic  Homes  shows  a  total  of  372  members. 
The  Grand  Lodge  of  Kentucky  takes  great  pride  in  the  charitable  work  it 
is  doing  and  it  has  a  right  to  do  so. 

A  resolution  was  adopted  which  should  make  the  lodges  of  Kentucky 
very  careful  whom  they  recommend  for  admission  to  the  Home.  The  reso- 
lution in  substance  provided  that  when  an  ineligible  has  been  received  in 
the  Home  and  it  has  later  been  found  necessary  to  dismiss  him,  the  lodge 
which  was  responsible  for  recommending  him  be  required  to  pay  all  expenses 
of  his  maintenance  during  the  time  he  was  a  charge  of  the  grand  lodge. 

A  proposition  to  increase  the  mileage  and  per  diem  of  representatives 
was  carried  over  to  next  year.  Nine  cases  of  appeal  were  presented  to  the 
Committee  on  Appeals.  All  of  these  are  very  briefly  discussed  by  the 
Committee  and  their  deductions  submitted  to  the  grand  lodge. 

One  rather  unusual  resolution  was  adopted  just  before  the  close  of  the 
grand  lodge  to  the  effect  that  a  committee  be  appointed  to  visit  the  Grand 
Chapter  of  the  Eastern  Star  at  its  forthcoming  session  and  convey  to  them 
the  sentiments  of  the  grand  lodge  and  at  the  same  time  formulate  a  more 
definite  plan  for  mutual  co-operation  between  these  two  bodies. 

The  Masonic  birthday  of  George  Washington  received  hearty  endorse- 
ment. The  giand  master  was  tendered  a  vote  of  thanks  and  Brother  M.  P. 
Molley  who  had  paid  dues  for  fifty  consecutive  years  was  made  a  free 
member  of  the  fraternity. 

A  resolution  was  presented  and  referred  to  the  Jurisprudence  Com- 
mittee : 

"No  lodge  shall  initiate  any  candidate  who  has  been  rejected  by  an- 
other lodge  without  the  recommendation  of  seven  members  of  the  lodge  by 
whom  the  rejection  was  made,  if  it  is  in  existence,  of  whom  three  shall  be 
the  master  and  wardens. ' ' 


60  Appendix — Part  I 


The  election  and  installation  of  officers  together  with  the  presentation 
of  the  jewel  and  niimcious  trophies  to  the  grand  master  closed  the  session. 

The  report  on  foreign  correspondence  is  written  by  William  W.  Clark, 
past  grand  master.     It  is  very  brief,  covering  but  seventy  pages, 

Illinois  is  considered  in  one  page  of  kindly  review.  The  principal  acts 
of  our  session  of  1919  are  briefly  referred  to  and  all  that  the  writer  said 
in  his  correspondence  report  concerning  ' '  a  new  requirement ' '  is  quoted 
in  full.

LOUISIANA,  F.  &  A.  M. 

1921 

This  grand  lodge  held  its  110th  annual  communication  in  the  Scottish 
Eite  cathedral  in  the  city  of  New  Orleans,  Monday  afternoon,  February 
14,  opening  at  3:30  o'clock.  The  Committee  on  Credentials  record  the 
presence  of  the  grand  representative  from  Illinois. 

The  first  business  of  importance  was  the  annual  address  of  the  grand 
master,  Wj-nne  G.  Eogers.  In  his  opening  remarks  he  refers  to  the  general 
unrest  throughout  the  country  and  seems  to  think  that  one  of  the  great 
needs  of  the  times  is  education  such  as  the  Masonic  Fraternity  is  able  to 
give.  He  says  that  every  Masonic  lodge  must  become  the  center  of  good 
intluenee  and  wise  counsel.  Extended  tributes  are  paid  to  the  dead  of 
the  jurisdiction  and  the  state  of  the  order  is  gone  into  at  considerable 
length.  The  grand  master  seems  to  think  that  while  there  is  much  cause 
for  congratulation  due  to  the  large  increase  in  membership,  yet  the 
situation  is  fraught  with  danger,  owing  to  the  fact  that  carelessness 
is  likely  to  creep  into  the  general  transactions  of  the  lodge.  The  grand 
master  recommends  that  a  committee  on  education  be  appointed  to  furnish 
newly  raised  Master  Masons  with  authentic  information  concerning  the 
society.  A  total  of  267  requests  to  confer  degrees  by  courtesy  were  handled 
by  the  grand  master.  Eleven  new  lodges  received  dispensations  and  a  large 
number  of  certificates  of  proficiency  were  issued  to  grand  lecturers. 

The  list  of  dispensations  issued  by  the  grand  master  is  a  very  long  one. 
In  looking  them  over,  the  writer  is  unable  to  find  anything  out  of  the  ordi- 
nary and  assumes  that  the  grand  master,  did  nothing  startling  in  his  issu- 
ance of  these  papers.     A   full   account   of  the   official   visitations   of  the 


Masonic  Correspondence  61 

grand  master  is  recorded  and  shows  that  he  was  diligent  in  his  endeavor  to 
accept  the  hospitality  of  the  lodges  of  the  State. 

The  Masonic  Service  Association  is  endorsed  by  the  grand  master  and 
is  recommended  to  the  favorable  consideration  of  the  grand  lodge.  Among 
the  dispensations  which  the  grand  master  refused  to  issue  was  one  from  a 
lodge  which  asked  permission  to  tender  the  use  of  its  lodge  room  to  the 
Elks  for  an  initiation.  He  also  refused  to  grant  dispensations  to  hold  a 
joint  installation  of  officers  with  Eoyal  Arch  Chapters  as  well  as  chapters 
of  the  Eastern  Star. 

Thirty-three  decisions  are  rendered  by  Grand  Master  Eogers,  some  of 
them  relate  to  the  construction  of  the  law  with  reference  to  physical  quali- 
fications, while  others  pertain  to  the  general  construction  of  existing  regula- 
tions. One  decision  is  rather  out  of  the  ordinary  and  was  to  the  effect  that 
a  lodge  had  a  right  to  circulate  a  petition  to  be  presented  to  the  governor  of 
the  State,  asking  that  a  convicted  murderer  sentenced  to  be  hanged,  be 
brought  to  immediate  judgment. 

One  of  the  things  discussed  by  the  grand  master  in  his  report  relates 
to  the  new  Masonic  Temple  to  be  erected  in  the  city  of  New  Orleans.  It  is 
expected  to  expend  about  $3,000,000.00  and  the  project  is  reported  as  well 
under  way.  The  grand  lodge  contemplates  building  a  mortuary  chapel  where 
it  is  supposed  Masonic  funerals  will  be  held.  The  estimated  revenue  from 
the  building  is  figured  at  $339,000.00.  In  his  closing  remarks  the  grand 
master  passes  a  high  tribute  to  the  grand  secretary,  John  A.  Davilla,  and 
refers  to  him  as  a  tower  of  strength  in  his  department. 

The  grand  treasurer  gives  his  receipts  as  $106,485.00  and  his  expendi- 
tures $103,047.00.  The  report  of  the  grand  secretary  is  very  largely  statisti- 
cal. The  total  number  raised  to  the  sublime  degree  of  Master  Mason  as 
reported  by  him  is  3,378.  The  net  gain  in  membership  is  given  at  3,384 
and  the  present  membership  in  the  State  26,392. 

There  is  maintained  in  New  Orleans  a  Masonic  Belief  Lodge  which 
takes  care  of  the  wants  of  those  who  are  in  needly  circumstances.  During 
the  year  the  sum  of  $3,866.00  was  expended  for  this  purpose.  The  Masonic 
hall  directors  make  a  report  which  is  very  interesting,  showing  that  they 
are  business  men  of  acumen  for  they  propose  to  proceed  with  the  construc- 
tion of  their  new  temple  and  offer  a  financial  plan  which  seems  thoroughly 
feasible  and  adapted  to  carrying  the  work  through  to  its  completion. 

The  Committee  on  Masonic  Law  and  Jurisprudence  approved  practically 
all  of  the  decisions  of  the  grand  master.  Two,  however,  came  in  for  dis- 
favor and  were  not  approved.  The  oration  delivered  during  the  session 
of  the  grand  lodge  was  not  long  and  was  offered  by  Doctor  Mendel  Silver. 
It  was  Masonic  in  character  and  should  have  interested  the  brethren  who 


62  Appendix — Part  I 


were  fortunate  enough  to  hear  it.  A  very  interesting  report  is  presented 
from  the  Committee  on  State  of  the  Order.  This  committee  takes  into 
consideration  everything  pertaining  to  the  growth  and  development  of  the 
fraternity  within  the  State. 

The  Committee  on  Foreign  Correspondence  submitted  a  report  recom- 
mending that  the  rekxtious  of  the  Grand  Orient  of  France  be  suspended, 
owing  to  the  fact  that  this  grand  lodge  has  established  lodges  in  the  city 
of  New  York,  also  in  San  Francisco.  It  seems  disposed  to  invade  the 
jurisdictions  of  the  various  grand  lodges  of  the  United  States. 

A  resolution  providing  for  one  ballot  for  all  three  degrees  was  pre- 
sented and  went  to  the  Committee  on  Jurisprudence.  This  committee  re- 
ported they  deemed  it  unwise  to  change  our  present  law  requiring  separate 
ballots  for  each  degree  and  recommended  that  the  law  remain  as  it  now  is. 

Quite  a  long  report  is  made  by  the  Committee  on  Jurisprudence  con- 
cerning the  status  of  the  widow  of  a  Master  Mason  who  marries  a  profane. 
A  resolution  was  introduced  forfeiting  all  her  rights  to  aid  and  assistance 
from  the  Fraternity.     The  conclusions  of  the  committee  are  as  follows: 

"Now  if  a  widow  of  a  Mason  abandons  the  widowhood  of  her  first 
husband  and  marries  a  profane,  has  she  not  forfeited  that  right  to  the 
extent  that  she  cannot  create  an  obligation  on  the  Craft  that  would  cause 
us  to  be  considered  as  having  violated  our  obligations?  We  believe  not. 
We  think  we  may  owe  her  a  duty  the  same  as  to  common  humanity  in  dis- 
tress, but  she  has  forfeited  her  right  as  a  Mason's  widow,  which  status  no 
longer  exists,  the  same  having  been  voluntarily  abandoned.  Of  course,  if 
this  grand  lodge  sees  proper  to  adopt  a  regulation,  on  the  subject  matter 
it  has  full  power  and  authority  to  do  so,  and  we  are  prepared  to  accept  the 
judgment  and  wisdom  of  the  brethren  on  this  important  question." 

A  resolution  was  introduced  that  it  be  permissible  to  obligate  as  many 
as  five  candidates  at  one  and  the  same  time  in  the  Master's  degree.  This 
resolution  went  to  the  Committee  on  Work  "who  verbally  reported  their 
approval. 

The  election  and  installation  of  officers  closed  the  session. 

The  report  on  foreign  correspondence  is  prepared  by  John  A.  Davilla 
and  covers  about  seventy  pages.  Illinois  is  given  one  half  page  of  very 
brief  consideration.  Concerning  the  jurisdictions,  the  following  comment 
is  made: 

' '  Illinois  is  a  Grand  Masonic  State.  The  statements  of  its  membership 
and  the  figures  involved  in  the  reports  of  its  finances  exceed  those  shown 
in  ours  approximately  ten  times.     The  different  charitable  institutions  are

splendidly   maintained   and   supported    and   reflect   credit   upon   the   grand 
lodge. ' '

MARYLAND,  A.  F.  &  A.  M. 

1920 

The  Grand  Lodge  of  Maryland  holds  two  communications  each  year.  A 
semi-annual  session  was  held  in  the  Masonic  Temple  at  Baltimore  on  May 
11.  The  grand  lodge  was  opened  in  due  form  by  the  deputy  grand  master. 
With  considerable  ceremony  and  pomp  the  grand  master  was  formally  intro- 
duced and  after  his  reception  distinguished  visitors  from  other  grand  juris- 
dictions were  accepted  and  accorded  the  grand  honors  of  Masonry.  The 
grand  master,  Charles  C.  Homer,  then  read  an  address  to  the  grand  lodge 
in  which  his  discussed  various  matters  of  interest.  He  gives  the  total  mem- 
bership of  the  State  as  24,117,  showing  a  net  gi'owth  for  six  months  of  1,629. 
He  recommends  certain  changes  in  the  Masonic  Temple  in  order  to  take 
care  of  the  constantly  increasing  growth  of  lodges,  and  states  that  the 
board  of  managers  have  been  able  to  secure  additional  ground  for  the  future 
expansion  of  the  present  Masonic  Temple.  The  total  amount  contributed 
by  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Maryland  to  the  George  Washington  Memorial 
Association  is  reported  to  be  $13,075.00.  The  grand  master  states  that  if 
the  jurisdiction  is  to  reach  its  full  quota  it  will  be  necessary  to  secure  an 
additional  amount  of  $11,040.00. 

The  report  of  the  grand  secretary  and  grand  treasurer  shows  the  grand 
lodge  to  be  in  a  most  prosperous  condition  financially,  with  ample  funds 
on  hand  to  carry  on  the  work  of  the  grand  lodge. 

The  Board  of  Relief  spent  $705.73  in  assisting  Master  Masons  who 
were  in  want.  An  amendment  providing  for  a  committee  of  three  past 
masters  to  review  decisions  and  dispensations  made  by  the  most  worshipful 
grand  master  was  defeated.  It  appears  that  the  State  of  Maryland  believes 
in  the  infallibility  of  its  grand  master  and  does  not  propose  to  have  his 
acts  questioned. 

A  resolution  permitting  the  use  of  loose  leaf  ledgers  by  secretaries 
received  the  approval  of  the  grand  lodge.  No  other  business  of  importance 
appears  to  have  been  transacted  at  this  meeting. 

What  is  called  the  annual  communication  was  held  in  the  Masonic 
Temple  at  Baltimore  on  Tuesday,  November  16.     The  grand  officers  were 


64  Appendix — Part  I 


present  aud  reprcsontatives  of  constituent  lodges.  At  this  assembly  the 
grand  master  delivered  quite  a  long  address,  dealing  with  matters  of 
interest  in  the  jurisdictions.  In  his  opening  remarks  he  reiterates  his 
intention  to  depart  from  the  usual  custom  and  to  serve  only  two  years  as 
grand  master.  This  is  quite  an  innovation  for  the  State  of  Maryland  for 
the  late  Thomas  J.  Shryock  served  as  grand  master  for  a  period  of  twenty- 
seven  years.  This  writer  is  disposed  to  agree  with  Brother  Homer  for  the 
reasons  which  he  sets  forth: 

"A  longer  term  than  two  years  would,  in  my  judgment,  enable  the 
grand  master  to  build  an  invincible  machine  were  he  so  inclined,  and, 
furthermore,  a  longer  tenure  in  oiifice  would  deter  the  ambitious  and  active 
brother  from  seeking  preferment  in  this  grand  body.  Hence  I  do  not  feel 
that  there  is  any  real  justification  for  a  longer  term  of  oflBce  than  two 
years,  and  particularly  in  the  present  case,  when  I  feel  that  the  grand  lodge 
has  practically  determined  upon,  as  my  successor,  a  brother  so  capable 
aud  well  equipped  to  fill  the  office  in  an  efficient  and  able  manner." 

The  growth  in  membership  is  commented  upon  and  Brother  Homer 
seems  to  rejoice  in  the  fact  that  Masonry  is  prospering  as  it  is.    He  says: 

' '  I  recently  heard  a  grand  master  state  that  he  was  ashamed  of  the 
fact  that  one  lodge  in  his  jurisdiction  had  raised  283  brethren  in  one  year. 
Frankly,  I  see  nothing  in  this  record  to  be  ashamed  of,  provided  all  of  the 
initiates  were  good  men  and  true.  There  is,  however,  grave  cause  for 
apprehension,  as  there  is  naturally  great  danger  that  this  enormous  influx 
into  Masonry  means  that  many  of  the  brethren  have  become  mere  members 
of  the  body  and  not  real  Masons." 

The  question  of  an  addition  to  the  Masonic  Temple  is  presented  and 
the  grand  master  is  very  frank  in  stating  that  before  this  enterprise  is 
undertaken  the  means  of  financing  the  same  should  be  determined.  One 
means  of  raising  funds  that  he  suggested  is  a  charge  of  $10.00  upon  each 
candidate  initiated  into  the  fraternity.  A  suggestion  is  made  that  a  com- 
mittee be  appointed  to  review  the  proceedings  of  the  past  year  and  to 
collate  all  of  the  decisions  approved  and  resolutions  adopted  in  times  past, 
and  indicate  same  by  codification  so  that  members  might  know  just  what 
the  law  is. 

Immediately  following  the  address  of  the  grand  master  a  number  of 
distinguished  visitors  from  other  jurisdictions  were  presented,  each  of 
whom  addressed  the  grand  lodge,  expressing  the  pleasure  that  he  felt  in 
being  able  to  attend  the  sessions  of  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Maryland. 

Lewis  A.  Wat  res  of  Pennsylvania  spoke  to  the  grand  lodge  on  behalf 
of  the  George  Washington  Memorial  Association  and  reported  the  total 
amount  in  the  treasury  in  February,  1920,  to  be  $170,000.00.     In  speaking 


Masonic  Correspondence  65 

of  the  Temple  which  is  to  be  erected  in  memory  of  Washington  the  Mason, 
he  has  the  following  to  say,  and  hopes  that  all  Masons  may  be  brought  to 
grasp  and  understand  the  true  Masonic  sentiment  which  inspired  his  words : 
' '  Then  too,  the  temple  will  be  a  rallying  point  for  Masons  of  the 
United  States.  We  have  too  long  spoken  as  49  voices  instead  of  one  voice. 
There  should  never  be,  in  my  opinion,  a  super-grand  lodge,  but  there  should 
be  a  rallying  point  in  the  United  States,  such  as  this  temple  will  furnish. 
And  I  want  to  say  that  it  will  be  a  rallying  place  not  only  for  Masons  of 
the  United  States,  but  fo.r  Masons  of  the  whole  world,  and  Masons  from 
many  lands  will  come  here  and  see  what  Masonry  has  done  to  keep  alive 
the  memory  of  that  great  man  and  that  great  Mason,  the  Father  of  His 
Country. ' ' 

The  report  of  the  grand  secretary  and  grand  treasurer  are  extended 
documents  in  which  the  full  financial  transactions  of  their  respective  ofiBccs 
are  set  forth. 

The  Board  of  Belief  presents  a  report  which  is  extremely  interesting  • 
for  it  shows  that  the  Brethren  of  Maryland  arc  not  neglecting  their  less 
fortunate  brothers  in  times  of  distress. 

The  Committee  on  Grievances  report  but  one  case  which  shows  that  the 
craft  must  have  maintained  a  very  happy  condition  and  state  of  mind  dur- 
ing the  year.  The  report  of  the  grand  lecturer  is  of  more  than  passing 
interest,  because  he  calls  attention  to  the  fact  that  some  of  the  brethren 
of  the  country  lodges  indicate  to  him  that  the  work  of  the  Baltimore  lodges 
is  by  no  means  perfect.  The  grand  lecturer  seems  to  think  that  the  city 
lodges  ought  to  set  an  example  that  would  be  an  inspiration  to  the  smaller 
lodges  in  the  rural  districts. 

One  amendment  to  the  constitution  was  adopted,  providing  for  a  com- 
mittee on  foreign  relations  to  whom  all  questions  affecting  the  relations  of 
the  Grand  Lodge  of  Maryland  with  other  jurisdictions  shall  be  referred. 

At  the  election  of  officers,  Warren  S.  Seipp  was  unanimously  elected 
grand  master,  and  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Maryland  joined  the  other  grand 
lodges  in  going  on  record  for  a  short  term  for  gi'and  master. 

The  election  of  oflicers  closed  the  session. 

The  report  on  foreign  correspondence  is  prepared  by  Henry  Branch. 
Hlinois  received  two  and  one-half  pages  of  very  generous  treatment.  Brief 
comments  are  made  relating  to  the  principal  transactions  of  our  grand 
lodge  session  of  1919  and  a  generous  extract  is  taken  from  the  oration  of 
Edward  J.  Brundage.  The  reviewer  quotes  what  this  writer  said  concern- 
ing physical  qualifications  in  1919  and  concludes  the  quotations  by  saying 
' '  So  say  we  all. ' '

MASSACHUSETTS,  A.  F.  &  A.  M. 

1920 

The  proceedings  of  this  grand  lodge  are  voluniinous  and  highly  inter- 
esting. They  aVe  illustrated  with  portraits  of  Masons,  corner-stone  layings, 
Masonic  Temples  and  other  events  of  vital  interest  to  the  Masons  of  that 
jurisdiction. 

This  grand  lodge  holds  quarterly  communications.  At  the  session  held 
on  March  10,  1920,  there  appears  to  have  been  a  very  large  attendance.  The 
grand  master  presents  a  report  in  which  he  refers  to  those  who  had  passed 
bej-ond  since  the  last  annual  communication.  He  calls  attention  to  the 
George  Washington  Memorial  Association  and  states  that  the  Grand  Lodge 
of  Massachusetts  has  not  as  yet  contributed  anything  towards  this  enterprise 
and  he  asked  that  the  matter  receive  consideration.  He  states  that  the  year 
»1919  broke  all  previous  records  in  the  number  raised  to  the  sublime  degree 
of  Master  Mason  and  warns  the  Craft  that  while  our  portals  are  open  to 
all  the  good  and  true,  we  ask  no  man  to  enter. 

He  has  something  to  say  about  Masonic  secrecy  in  the  following: 
' '  WTiether  it  came  there  by  design  or  accidental  carelessness  cannot 
be  said,  but  it  at  once  emphasizes  the  importance  of  keeping  our  lodge 
notices  from  the  eyes  of  those  who  have  no  right  to  see  them.  Our  mem- 
bers, and  especially  the  younger  Masons,  should  be  admonished  to  guard 
the  secrecy  of  our  notices.  It  seems  trite  to  dwell  upon  what  are  well  known 
Masonic  laws,  but  it  is  a  fact  that  in  recent  years  they  have  been  honored 
almost  more  in  the  breach  than  the  observance.  Masonic  matters  are  freely 
talked  over  on  the  street,  in  the  trolley  cars,  and  in  the  home.  News  of 
rejection  is  often  heard  of  by  the  man  affected  and  from  the  lips  of  non- 
Masons  before  he  receives  his  official  notice.  Not  many  years  ago  I  was 
present  at  a  trial  in  another  jurisdiction  of  a  Mason  on  a  charge  of  revealing 
the  action  of  the  lodge  \^'ith  respect  to  the  ballot  on  candidates.  He  was 
found  guilty  and  the  penalty  of  indefinite  suspension  was  imposed. ' ' 

Five  dispensations  were  issued  for  the  formation  of  new  lodges  and 
the  subject  of  careless  investigation  of  candidates  is  presented  together 
with  a  form  for  eaeli  candidate  to  fill  out  when  he  petitions  for  the  degrees. 

Grand  Master  Prince  does  not  believe  in  applause  during  ceremonial 
work  and  does  not  hesitate  to  condemn  the  practice.  The  general  charities 
of  the  grand  lodge  are  reported  to  be  in  a  most  excellent  condition. 

Melvin  M.  Johnson  from  the  committee  on  cipher  rituals  reported  that 
the  law  had  not  1)een  changed  and  asked  for  further  time  for  the  committee 


Masonic  Correspondence  67 

to   complete   their    deliberations.      The   committee    on   size   of   lodges   were 
likewise  granted  further  time  to  complete  their  report, 

A  number  of  items  appeared  in  the  proceedings  concerning  business 
transactions  but  all  were  of  purely  local  interest.  The  second  quarterly 
communication  was  held  June  9,  1920.  At  this  meeting  the  grand  master  's 
address  opened  with  tributes  of  respect  to  the  dead  of  the  jurisdiction. 
He  refers  to  the  foreign  relations  as  being  very  unsatisfactory.  He  states 
that  while  some  foreign  grand  lodges  have  been  officially  recognized,  others 
have  been  refused  recognition  and  in  many  cases  no  action  has  been  taken. 
He  asks  that  a  committee  be  appointed  to  take  up  this  question  and  to 
determine  just  what  grand  lodges  should  be  recognized  and  which  should  not. 

He  speaks  of  Masonic  funeral  ceremonies  in  the  following  paragraph : 
"The  right  of  every  Mason  to  be  buried  according  to  the  rites  and 
ceremonies  of  the  Craft  is  well  established.  It  is  sad  and  sometimes  shame- 
ful to  witness  the  unwillingness  of  lodge  officers  to  perform  this  service 
and  to  note  the  meager  attendance  of  the  brethren  on  such  occasions.  The 
officers  of  a  lodge  should  consider  it  a  solemn  duty  and  sad  privilege  to 
officiate  at  the  funeral  of  one  of  our  brethren.  They  should  consider  attend- 
ance upon  this  duty  as  binding  as  any  other  and  the  brethren  ought  at 
least  to  show  their  respect  for  the  institution  by  giving  a  few  moments  of 
their  time  in  attendance  on  the  last  rites  over  one  whom  they  have  been 
pleased  to  call  their  brother. ' ' 

He  commends  the  Samuel  Crocker  Lawrence  Library  and  condemns  the 
chain  letter  folly  and  reports  various  acts  performed  by  him.  Grand 
Master  Prince  believes  that  the  fees  and  dues  of  lodges  should  be  in  accord- 
ance with  the  conditions  of  our  times  and  presents  a  table  in  which  he 
shows  the  amount  of  dues  which  are  collected  in  each  lodge  as  well  as  the 
fees  exacted  from  candidates.    He  comments  as  follows: 

' '  Information  has  recently  come  to  me  of  one  lodge  which  has  adopted 
these  rules:  Only  ten  petitions  can  be  accepted  in  any  year.  Fees  are 
placed  at  $150.00  and  dues  at  $10.00  per  year.  None  of  the  lodge  funds 
can  be  used  for  banquets,  which  are  paid  for  by  individual  members,  ex- 
cepting only  the  Annual  Members '  Night.  This  lodge  is  fortunate  in  having 
a  very  high  percentage  of  attendance  at  communications. ' ' 

The  grand  master  has  been  very  liberal  in  the  granting  of  dispensations 
for  the  formation  of  new  lodges,  because  he  states  he  believes  that  Masonry 
is  better  exemplified  in  the  small  lodge  than  in  the  large  lodge.  He  says 
something  about  lax  attention  to  the  grand  lodge  communications  and  very 
l^ertinently  asks:  "Since  when  has  the  secretary  become  the  judge  of  what 
matters  shall  be  called  to  the  attention  of  the  master  and  the  brethren, 
and  by  what  official  authority  does  he  assume  to  smother  grand  lodge  com- 
munications in  his  waste  basket?" 


68  Appendix — Part  I 


The  committee  on  size  of  lodges  presented  the  following  amendment 
to  the  by-laws: 

"A  lodge  located  within  the  Commonwealth  of  Massachusetts  and  hav- 
ing over  200  members  shall  from  its  own  candidates  make  not  more  than 
thirty-five  Masons  in  any  fiscal  year  (September  1st  to  August  31st,  inclu- 
sive). Such  a  lodge  having  over  600  members  shall  not  make  more  than 
thirty  Masons;    having  over  1,000  members,  not  more  than  twenty-five." 

A  number  of  cases  of  discipline  came  before  the  grand  lodge  from 
which  it  is  apparent  that  those  Masons  who  deserted  their  wives  and  children 
met  with  the  wrath  of  the  grand  lodge  for  most  of  them  were  expelled. 
The  third  quarterly  communication  was  held  September  8,  1920.  At  this 
meeting,  Charles  C.  Homer,  Grand  Master  of  Masons  in  Maryland  was 
present  and  was  duly  received  and  accorded  the  grand  honors  of  Masonry. 
The  grand  Master,  Arthur  D.  Prince,  again  calls  attention  to  the  chain 
letter.  He  recommends  that  every  lodge  insert  in  its  monthly  notices  a 
warning  against  chain  letters  of  every  description.  Grand  Master  Prince 
makes  the  following  comment  in  his  address  but  just  exactly  what  inspired 
the  paragraph  is  not  apparent: 

' '  Masonry  in  Massachusetts  has  recently  taken  a  public  stand  in  sup- 
port of  sovereignty  of  law.  Its  prosperity  has  received  a  good  deal  of 
publicity.  Hence  it  is  jjossible  that  those  who  do  not  believe  as  we  do  are 
using  underhand  means  to  block  our  progress.  Of  course  any  such  move- 
ment is  bound  to  fail.  It  will  defeat  its  own  purpose  in  stimulating  the 
minds  of  men  and  urging  those  who  desire  to  unite  with  other  men  who 
believe  in  the  rights  of  man  to  'life,  liberty,  and  the  pursuit  of  happiness,' 
to  present  themselves  at  our  doors  for  admission.  Still,  it  is  well  that  we 
should  be  warned  of  what  is  going  on.  The  information  was  recently 
brought  to  me  that  the  reputations  of  men,  of  whom  it  was  known  by  some 
breach  of  Masonic  secrecy  that  they  had  made  application  for  Freemasonry, 
were  being  blackened  by  a  systematic  plan  carried  out  by  men  unfriendly  to 
the  institution.  It  is  therefore  necessary  that  every  applicant  should  have 
a  careful  investigation  and  that  all  stories  against  his  character  should  be 
followed  to  their  sources.  It  is  also  just  as  important  for  every  member 
to  scan  the  list  of  petitioners  with  care  and  if  he  has  heard  am-thing 
inimical  to  the  petitioner  at  once  to  acquaint  the  master  of  the  lodge. ' ' 

He  believes  that  Masonic  clubs  should  be  treated  in  a  broad  spirit  and 
where  they  show  evidence  of  working  out  the  real  plan  of  Masonry,  they 
should  be  encouraged.  No  business  of  importance  appears  to  have  been 
transacted  at  this  session. 

The  last  quarterly  communication  was  held  December  8,  in  the  city 
of  Boston  in  the  Masonic  Temple.  At  this  session  the  grand  master  makes 
one  of  his  characteristic  reports  concerning  the  proposed  amendment  limiting 


Masonic  Correspondence  69 

the  amount  of  work  which  lodges  in  Massachusetts  might  do.  The  grand 
master  states  there  has  been  a  great  deal  of  favorable  and  unfavorable  com- 
ment on  the  question  and  recommends  a  public  hearing  be  held  on  the  sub- 
ject.   He  likes  the  idea  of  plural  membership  and  says: 

"It  is  fortunate  that  our  Massachusetts  brethren  who  are  now  resi- 
dents in  other  states  can,  without  breaking  our  regulations,  join  in  the  active 
work  of  Freemasonry  in  those  communities  where  the  circumstances  of  life 
have  placed  them.  It  would  seem  that  the  advantages  of  plural  membership 
outweigh  its  disadvantages  and  that  it  furthers  rather  than  hinders  the 
interests  of  the  craft  in  general.  There  must  be  thousands  of  Masons, 
scattered  all  over  the  world,  who  would  like  to  keep  up  active  and  responsible 
interest  in  the  Masonic  work,  but  who  arc  prohibited  by  the  exclusive  mem- 
bership regulation. ' ' 

He  says  something  about  the  district  deputies  and  the  importance  of 
the  stations  which  they  hold.  The  Masonic  Service  Association  is  highly 
commended  and  masters  of  lodges  are  urged  to  make  liberal  use  of  the 
Speaker's  Bureau. 

The  financial  tables  which  appear  in  the  proceedings  show  that  the 
Grand  Lodge  of  Massachusetts  is  in  a  highly  prosperous  condition  with 
numerous  charitable,  educational  and  trust  funds,  all  of  which  are  being 
administered  in  a  way  and  manner  that  indicates  that  this  grand  lodge 
has  for  its  leaders  some  very  keen  and  alert  business  men. 

Grand  Master  Prince  presents  a  long  list  of  official  visitations  among 
which  are  the  Grand  Council  Royal  and  Select  Masters  and  the  Grand  Eoyal 
Arch  Chapter  of  Massachusetts.  At  the  election  of  ofiieers  Grand  Master 
Prince  was  unanimously  re-elected  and  other  officers  were  chosen  in  accord- 
ance with  the  traditions  and  customs  of  that  grand  jurisdiction. 

An  appropriation  for  the  Masonic  Service  Association  equal  to  5  cents 
per  capita  was  made  and  the  following  amendment  to  the  by-laws  proposed: 

"All  written  or  printed  notices  of  lodge  meetings  containing  any  Ma- 
sonic information  beyond  the  time  and  place  of  such  meeting,  must  be  sent 
out  in  sealed  envelopes. ' ' 

The  grand  feast  was  held  on  St.  John's  Day,  December  27.  At  this 
time  there  was  a  banquet  with  numerous  addresses  and  from  the  proceedings 
it  is  apparent  that  everyone  present  enjoyed  himself  to  the  utmost.  There 
was  no  report  on  foreign  correspondence  as  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Massachu- 
setts does  not  exchange  representatives  with  other  grand  lodges,  neither 
does  it  appoint  a  Committee  on  Foreign  Correspondence.

MINNESOTA,  A.  F.  &  A.  M. 

1921 

The  78th  aimual  communication  opened  in  the  city  of  St.  Paul  on 
Wednesday,  January  19.  The  representative  of  the  Grand  Lodge  of 
Illinois,  A.  T.  Stebbins,  is  accredited  with  being  present.  The  first  busi- 
ness of  importance  was  the  address  of  the  grand  master,  E'.  A.  Montgomery. 
He  opens  by  paying  a  tribute  to  the  dead  of  his  own  and  other  jurisdictions 
and  appealed  to  the  lodges  of  the  jurisdiction  to  assist  the  brethren  of  one 
lodge  in  building  a  Masonic  Temple.  The  total  number  of  contributions 
amounted  to  $2,534.00.  The  following  report  by  the  grand  master  seemed 
a  little  bit  alarming: 

* '  Very  soon  after  assuming  the  office  of  grand  master  I  was  informed 
from  reliable  sources  that  certain  organizations  which  were  hostile  to  our 
present  form  of  American  government  and  our  social  institutions  were 
planning  to  have  men  from  their  own  ranks  petition  our  lodges  for  Ma- 
sonic degrees  for  the  purpose,  if  elected  of  introducing  and  spreading 
their  infamous  and  traitorous  jjropaganda  among  the  members  of  our  fra- 
ternity. There  is  no  doubt  that  such  a  scheme  was  not  only  planned,  but  was 
actually  attempted  to  be  carried  out,  and  that  men  who  were  opposed  to  the 
fundamental  principles  and  tenets  of  Masonry  presented  their  petitions, 
falsely  professing  themselves  as  being  qualified  to  be  accepted  as  and  to 
become  Masons." 

The  grand  master  states  that  he  issued  a  waining  admonishing  lodges 
to  be  extremely  cautious  in  the  matter  of  investigating  all  petitions  for  the 
degrees.  One  lodge  was  constituted  during  the  year  and  eight  new  lodges 
received  dispensations.  One  Masonic  hall  was  dedicated  and  the  corner- 
stones of  one  Masonic  building  and  two  school  houses  laid  during  the  year. 

The  grand  master  stated  that  he  esteemed  it  a  great  privilege  to  be 
called  upon  to  lay  the  corner-stone  of  a  school  house.  During  the  year  the 
new  Masonic  Home  was  formally  opened  and  the  ceremonies  are  character- 
ized as  being  the  greatest  Masonic  event  in  the  history  of  Masonry  in  that 
jurisdiction. 

Brother  Montgomery  states  that  only  two  requests  for  schools  of  instruc- 
tion were  made  during  the  year  and  regrets  that  more  lodges  do  not  see 
the  wisdom  of  holding  these  schools.  He  reports  having  visited  thirty-three 
lodges  of  the  jurisdiction.  One  hundred  seventy-five  requests  for  special 
dispensations  were  granted  and  nineteen  lefused.  Of  this  number  1-il 
were  to  permit  lodges  to  hold  more  than  one  communication  in  the  same  day 
for  the  purpose  of  conferring  degrees.  Seven  sets  of  new  by-laws  and  143 
amendments  to  by-laws  were  sulimittod  to  the  grand  lodge  for  approval. 


Masonic  Correspondence  71 

He  must  have  been  extremely  busy  aud  stayed  up  late  nights  in  examining 
these  proposed  changes  in  law.  It  is  noticed  from  his  report  that  he  was 
very  diligent  in  this  matter  for  the  number  of  amendments  to  by-laws  dis- 
approved cover  two  pages.  Thirty-eight  so-called  decisions  are  rendered, 
none  of  them  being  of  unusual  importance. 

He  did  decide  that  it  was  not  improper  for  lodges  to  send  resolutions 
of  respect  to  families  of  a  deceased  brother  who  had  been  suspended  from 
the  lodge.  A  long  report  is  made  upon  the  subject  of  physical  qualifications. 
The  grand  master  states  he  was  besieged  with  requests  for  dispensations  to 
initiate  those  who  had  been  disabled  but  that  he  refused  to  take  the  re- 
sponsibility and  held  all  masters  strictly  accountable  for  their  actions, 
according  to  the  provisions  of  law. 

The  George  Washington  Memorial  Association  is  commended  and  the 
Masons  of  Minnesota  urged  to  resjiond  with  their  quota  of  finances.  The 
Masonic  Service  Association  is  also  commended  and  a  long  report  made  of 
the  scope  of  this  particular  society.  Brother  Montgomery  states  numerous 
requests  reached  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Minnesota  for  recognition  from  various 
grand  lodges  from  all  over  the  world.  He  makes  the  request  that  the  Ma- 
sonic Service  Association  take  up  this  subject  thoroughly  and  investigate 
the  character  and  standing  of  the  several  grand  lodges  desiring  recognition 
and  make  a  report  to  the  grand  lodges  of  the  United  States. 

He  makes  a  report  on  the  sul)ject  of  printing  and  refers  to  the  high 
cost  of  publishing  the  proceedings.  He  says  that  the  craft  in  Minnesota 
is  prospering  and  is  doing  its  full  share  of  work. 

The  grand  treasurer  gives  his  total  receipts  at  $61,000.00  and  dis- 
bursements $27,863.00.  The  report  of  the  grand  secretary  is  brief  and  does 
not  trespass  upon  the  functions  of  the  other  officials  of  the  grand  lodge. 
Two  hundred  seventy-two  chartered  lodges  raised  6,259  during  the  year, 
giving  the  grand  lodge  5,586  net  increase.  There  are  today  in  the  State 
of  Minnesota  45,593  Master  Masons  in  good  standing. 

The  Jurisprudence  Committee  reported  on  an  amendment  which  had 
been  carried  over  from  the  preceding  year,  fixing  the  per  diem  of  repre- 
sentatives at  $5.00  per  day  and  mileage  equal  to  actual  railroad  fare  from 
the  location  of  the  lodge  to  the  place  of  meeting.  This  committee  made 
another  report  amending  the  grand  lodge  by-laws  so  that  lodges  might 
initiate  five  candidates  at  the  same  time,  under  dispensation  from  the 
grand  master  but  prohibited  that  official  from  issuing  dispensations  to 
initiate  more  than  ten  at  the  same  meeting. 

The  subject  of  physical  qualifications  came  up  for  consideration  and 
an  amendment  was  made  to  the  by-laws  permitting'  the  initiation  of  those 


72  Appendix — Part  I 


who  were  maimed,  provided  the  person  be  possessed  of  physical  appliances 
which  would  enable  him  to  comply  with  what  the  several  degrees  require  of 
him. 

The  Grand  Lodge  of  Minnesota  maintains  a  Committee  on  Masonic 
Eesearch.  It  is  apparent  from  the  proceedings  that  this  committee  was 
very  diligent  and  did  everything  that  they  could  to  bring  the  fraternity  to 
a  better  understanding  of  the  objects  and  purposes  of  the  Society. 

Quite  a  long  report  is  made  on  the  Masonic  Home.  This  is  a  new 
enterprise  for  the  brethren  of  Minnesota  and  they  seem  to  be  taking  hold 
of  it  in  a  way  and  manner  which  shows  that  they  propose  to  maintain  an 
institution  that  will  be  a  credit  to  themselves  and  the  fraternity.  The 
report  of  the  Committee  on  Appeals  and  Grievances,  while  not  long,  gives 
the  names  of  all  defendants  as  well  as  the  details  of  the  charges  which  were 
made  against  them.  All  this  does  not  speak  well  for  the  fraternity.  For 
the  proceedings  of  grand  lodges  are  by  no  means  confined  to  officers  and 
members  of  lodges. 

A  Committee  on  Ancient  Landmarks  made  a  report  in  which  they 
approve  certain  acts  of  the  grand  master  as  being  in  keeping  with  the 
ancient  landmarks. 

The  Committee  on  Appropriations  fixed  the  salary  of  the  grand  secre- 
tary at  $2,400.00  per  year  and  allowed  him  an  assistant.  The  Committee 
on  Foreign  Grand  Lodges  concurred  with  the  grand  master  in  his  recom- 
mendation that  the  Masonic  Service  Association  be  requested  to  give  this 
subject  consideration. 

The  report  on  correspondence  is  from  the  pen  of  Irving  Todd.  He 
gives  Illinois  one  page  of  vei-y  brief  consideration.  He  refers  to  the 
address  of  Grand  Master  Fitzgerrell  as  covering  less  than  twelve  pages  and 
he  briefly  notes  the  principal  items  in  our  proceedings.  He  makes  neither 
comment  nor  criticism,

MISSISSIPPI,  F.  &  A.  M. 

1921 

The  proceedings  under  review  cover  the  103rd  annual  communication, 
which  opened  in  the  city  of  Jackson,  Tuesday,  February  22.  Addresses  of 
welcome  were  delivered  to  the  grand  lodge  on  the  part  of  representatives  of 
both  the  local  fraternity  and  the  Eastern  Star  Chapter.     These  were  prop- 


Masonic  Correspondence  73 

erly  acknowledged.  The  grand  chaplain  opened  the  grand  lodge  with  quite 
a  long  prayer,  which  was  Masonic  in  character.  The  Committee  on  Cre- 
dentials report  the  presence  of  the  grand  representative  of  Illinois,  P.  H. 
Murphy. 

The  first  business  to  attract  the  attention  of  representatives  was  the 
annual  address  of  the  grand  master,  E.  It.  Taucette.  It  did  not  take  him 
very  long  to  tell  the  brethren  what  he  had  to  say,  for  his  address  covers  only 
ten  printed  pages.  He  declares  the  mission  of  Freemasonry  to  be  one  of 
love  and  enlightenment  and  its  aim  the  promotion  of  human  happiness.  He 
states  that  the  growth  of  the  lodges  has  been  unusual,  the  total  number  of 
degrees  conferred  have  been  more  than  11,000,  giving  the  State  an  increase 
in  membership  of  3,171. 

The  financial  condition  of  the  grand  lodge  is  reported  to  be  splendid 
and  mention  is  made  of  additional  revenue  derived  from  increased  fees 
and  dues.  The  grand  lodge  is  very  proud  of  what  it  calls  its  Murphy- 
Martin  Educational  Endowinent  Fund,  this  sum  having  reached  the  grand 
total  of  $96,500,00. 

Some  repairs  were  necessary  to  the  Masonic  Home  and  the  amount 
expended  was  $4,725.00.  This  institution  is  highly  commended  for  the 
excellent  work  which  it  is  doing. 

During  the  year  a  meeting  of  the  grand  lecturer,  district  deputies  and 
custodians  of  the  work  was  held.  At  this  meeting  the  degrees  were  exem- 
plified and  the  various  officials  went  back  to  their  districts  with  a  new 
enthusiasm  for  the  work  of  the  jurisdiction.  The  grand  master  states  that 
the  schools  of  instruction  which  have  been  conducted  in  this  State  have 
resulted  in  bringing  the  work  to  a  degree  of  proficiency  in  the  ritual  that 
is  unsurpassed  anywhere  else. 

Brother  Faucette  showed  the  good  judgment  to  render  no  decisions. 
He  issued  dispensations  where  the  exigencies  of  the  case  seemed  to  warrant 
waiving  the  law  but  refused  to  waive  the  statutory  time  for  the  conferring 
of  degrees,  in  order  to  enable  some  brethren  to  petition  for  higher  degrees 
in  Masonry,  so  called. 

But  one  corner-stone  was  laid  during  the  year,  that  being  of  a  Ma- 
sonic Temple.  The  grand  master  declined  to  lay  the  corner-stone  of  a  sani- 
tarium erected  by  the  Kings  Daughters,  for  the  reason  that  the  walls  had 
been  completed.  The  new  Masonic  Temple  at  Hatticsburg  was  dedicated 
in  the  presence  of  a  large  representation  of  the  craft.  Two  lodges  of 
Mississippi  decided  to  change  their  names  and  the  grand  master  gave 
official  consent.  Five  dispensations  for  the  formation  of  new  lodges  were 
granted  and  the  charters  of  four  lodges  were  surrendered,  causes  not  given. 


74  Appendix — Part  I 


The  Near  East  Relief  matter  was  called  to  the  attention  of  the  grand 
lodge,  and  the  whole  subject  placed  in  its  hands.  The  Masonic  Service 
Association  received  due  commendation  and  its  work  is  fully  endorsed. 

The  grand  secretary,  O.  L.  McKay,  is  referred  to  as  an  encyclopedia  of 
Masonry,  as  well  as  a  human  machine  of  the  most  improved  type.  During 
the  year  the  grand  master  visited  fifty-two  lodges  and  stated  that  he  was 
besieged  flith  invitations  to  visit  many  more,  but  for  business  reasons  could 
not  do  so.  The  grand  secretary  presented  a  report  which  goes  much  into 
detail  and  ?hows  the  present  membership  of  the  lodges  of  Mississippi  tO'  be 
26,978. 

According  to  the  report  of  the  Committee  on  Finance,  several  lodges 
paid  dues  and  penalties  for  not  complying  with  grand  lodge  regulations  and 
in  a  number  of  instances  the  penalties  were  remitted.  The  sum  of  $250.00 
was  contributed  to  the  Near  East  Relief  fund  and  the  salary  of  the  grand 
secretary  fixed  at  $1800.00  per  annum.  The  total  receipts  of  the  Grand  Lodge 
of  Mississippi  as  shown  by  the  Committee  on  Audits,  were  $61,657.58,  and 
the  expenditures  $36,942.74. 

One  thing  the  grand  lodge  did,  which  was  somewhat  unusual,  was  to 
elect  Melville  E.  Grant  deputy  grand  master  an  honorary  past  grand  master 
of  the  grand  lodge. 

The  American  Legion  received  the  endorsement  of  the  grand  lodge  and 
recognition  of  the  Grand  Lodge  of  France  was  denied,  quite  a  long  report 
being  made  by  the  committee  which  investigated  the  subject. 

It  appears  from  the  proceedings  that  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Mississippi 
attempted  to  secure  a  permanent  location,  for  a  report  from  a  committee, 
relating  to  that  subject,  was  presented  and  the  committee  continued.  A 
large  portion  of  the  proceedings  is  taken  up  with  detail  matters,  relating 
to  the  Masonic  Service  Association.  It  would  appear  to  the  writer  that 
much  of  this  matter  is  irrelevant  and  of  little  interest  to  the  casual  reader 
of  grand  lodge  proceedings. 

A  Committee  on  Laws  submitted  a  number  of  questions  which  had  been 
answered  by  them.  One  was  to  the  effect  that  the  master  of  the  lodge 
had  a  right  to  require  an  investigating  committee  to  submit  a  report; 
another  was  that  all  deeds  conve_ying  property  should  be  made  direct  to  the 
lodge  imder  its  proper  name;  another  decision  was  that  St.  John's  Day, 
December  27,  cannot  be  considered  a  stated  meeting  of  the  lodge  at  which 
business  may  be  transacted. 

One  thing  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Mississippi  did  was  to  adopt  an  amend- 
ment to  its  by-laws,  providing  for  one  ballot  for  all  three  degrees.  The 
burial  services  received  some  attention  during  the  year  and  the  exclamation, 


Masonic  Correspondence  75 

' '  Alas,  My  Brother ! ' '  was  stricken  out  and  the  song  ' '  Nearer  My  God  to 
Thee ' '  was  inserted  as  a  part  of  the  service. 

The  installation  of  officers  closed  the  session.  The  report  on  foreign 
correspondence  is  prepared  by  H.  C.  Yawn.  He  accords  to  Illinois,  three 
pages  of  very  generous  consideration.  He  refers  to  the  prayer  of  the  grand 
chaplain,  Eufus  A.  White,  as  being  beautiful  and  soulful.  Generous  quo- 
tations are  taken  from  the  address  of  Grand  Master  Fitzgerrell.  A  liberal 
extract  is  taken  from  the  oration  of  Wm.  H.  Beekman.  One  thing  which 
Brother  Yawn  says  is  that  the  financial  part  of  the  grand  secretary's  re- 
port is  very  voluminous,  in  fact  his  cash  book,  journal,  ledger,  and  auxiliary 
books,  must  have  been  copied  in  the  proceedings.  We  are  disposed  to  think 
that  the  reviewer  has  confused  the  report  of  the  Finance  Committee  with 
the  report  of  the  grand  secretary.

MISSOURI,  A.  F.  &  A.  M. 

1920 

The  100th  annual  communication  was  held  in  the  city  of  Kansas  City 
in  the  Masonic  Temple  commencing  Tuesday,  September  21.  After  the 
reception  of  the  distinguished  visitors  and  the  sending  of  telegrams  to  two 
past  grand  masters,  Julius  C.  Garrell  read  his  annual  ad<lress. 

He  opens  by  referring  to  the  dead  of  his  own  and  other  jurisdictions 
and  gives  a  long  list  of  lodges  visited  by  him.  He  states  that  he  had  hoped 
to  visit  each  of  the  fifty-nine  Masonic  districts  but  owing  to  business  de- 
mands was  not  able  to  realize  his  ambition.  Three  corner-stones  were  laid 
during  the  year.  All  of  them  were  for  Masonic  edifices.  Dedications  of 
five  Masonic  Temples  took  place,  all  of  which  were  conducted  by  the  grand 
master. 

Two  dispensations  for  the  formation  of  new  lodges  were  granted. 

The  George  Washington  Memorial  Association  was  most  heartily  com- 
mended and  the  State  of  Missouri  urged  to  laise  its  quota  of  $1.00  per 
member. 

Concerning  the  Masonic  Service  Association,  the  grand  master  recom- 
mends that  a  special  committee  be  appointed  to  investigate  the  scope,  merit 
and  usefulness  of  this  society  and  report  to  the  grand  lodge. 


76  Appendix — Part  I 


At  a  meeting  of  the  grand  lodge  previously,  a  committee  was  appointed 
to  arrange  for  the  centennial  observance  of  the  grand  lodge  of  Missouri. 
It  was  found  that  a  proper  observance  would  cost  approximately  $5,000.00. 
This  the  grand  master  did  not  feel  like  authorizing  and  suggested  to  the 
committee  that  they  cut  their  appropriation  to  $3,000.00. 

The  Board  of  Relief  and  the  Employment  Bureau  are  heartily  com- 
mended for  the  excellent  work  they  are  doing.  The  Masonic  Home  receives 
flattering  comment  and  a  recommendation  is  made  that  the  grand  lodge 
devise  ways  and  means  to  secure  a  larger  income  for  this  most  excellent 
institution. 

Among  the  dispensations  refused  by  the  grand  master  was  one  per- 
mitting a  lodge  to  celebrate  American  Legion  day. 

Brother  Garrell  also  refused  to  grant  authority  to  solicit  funds  to  assist 
lodges  in  their  building  enterprise. 

It  is  apparent  that  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Missouri  does  not  propose  that 
its  lodges  shall  run  heedlessly  into  debt  for  five  dispensations  were  issued 
permitting  lodges  to  borrow  money  to  complete  edifices  which  they  had  under 
construction. 

Among  the  recommendations  made  was  one  making  it  a  Masonic  offense 
to  solicit  a  Master  Mason  to  take  the  so-called  higher  degrees  until  after 
he  had  been  a  member  of  the  craft  for  three  months. 

Four  decisions  were  reported.  All  of  them  relate  to  local  construc- 
tion of  law. 

The  charter  of  one  lodge  was  arrested  and  the  grand  secretary  and 
grand  lecturer  given  encomiums  which  should  make  them  very  proud.  The 
report  of  the  grand  secretary  is  a  complete  review  of  the  affairs  which 
passed  through  his  office  during  the  year.  He  gives  the  net  gain  in  mem- 
bership as  10,650  and  the  present  number  of  Master  Masons  in  the  juris- 
diction as  90,416. 

The  total  receipts  of  the  grand  treasurer  from  all  sources  were 
$160,000.00  and  his  expenditures  $158,000.00  showing  that  the  grand  lodge 
is  able  to  keep  within  its  income. 

A  resolution  endorsing  the  public  school  system  was  presented  and 
referred  to  the  Committee  on  Jurisprudence. 

On  the  evening  of  the  first  day,  the  grand  lecturer  held  a  school  of 
instruction  and  exemplified  the  work  of  the  first  degree  as  well  as  the  second 
section  of  the  third  degree. 


Masonic  Correspondence  77 

The  Committee  on  Necrology  make  quite  a  long  report  in  which  they 
pay  tributes  of  respect  to  the  dead  of  their  own  and  other  jurisdictions. 

The  report  of  the  grand  lecturer  goes  into  detail  concerning  what  was 
accomplished  in  the  way  of  instruction  and  shows  that  the  craft  of 
Missouri  is  placing  a  great  deal  of  stress  on  the  subject  of  ritual. 

Wm.  F.  Kuhn,  chairman  of  the  Committee  on  Foreign  Grand  Lodges, 
made  quite  a  lengthy  report  recommending  that  the  fraternal  relations  with 
the  York  Grand  Lodge  of  Mexico  be  continued.  The  committee  recom- 
mended fraternal  recognition  of  both  the  Grand  Orient  of  France  and  the 
Grand  Lodge  of  France  and  that  action  looking  to  recognition  of  seven 
Grand  Lodges  of  Germany  be  postponed. 

The  election  of  grand  officers  was  made  a  special  order  for  the  second 
day  and  resulted  in  advancement  of  the  officers  in  line. 

One  of  the  inspiring  events  of  the  occasion  was  the  introduction  of 
Doctor  Edwards,  ninety-four  years  of  age  who  has  been  a  Matjon  for  seventy- 
two  years. 

The  report  of  the  Committee  on  Appeals  and  Grievances  was  a  long  one. 
The  names  of  all  defendants  are  published  together  with  a  brief  concerning 
the  details  of  the  case  under  consideration. 

The  Committee  on  Jurisprudence  approved  an  amendment  to  the  by- 
laws exacting  a  fee  of  $20.00  from  each  petitioner  for  the  degrees,  same 
to  be  used  for  the  benefit  of  the  Masonic  Home. 

The  decisions  of  the  grand  master  were  approved  and  representatives 
and  committeemen  allowed  per  diem  at  the  rate  of  $5.00  per  day  and  mileage 
equaling  5  cents  for  each  mile  traveled.  This  committee  also  approved  an 
amendment  to  the  by-laws  to  the  effect  that  every  petition  for  affiliation 
coming  from  a  petitioner  from  without  the  State  of  Missouri  should  be 
taxed  the  sum  of  $10.00,  the  money  to  be  used  for  the  benefit  of  the  Ma- 
sonic Home. 

The  Oversees  Committee  reported  receipts  of  $15,000.00  and  expendi- 
tures of  practically  $1,400.00.  It  was  recommended  that  this  money  be 
returned  to  the  donors  except  in  such  cases  where  said  donors  were  willing 
to  turn  the  amount  contributed  by  them  over  to  the  Masonic  Home. 

A  new  prayer  to  be  used  in  the  second  section  of  the  third  degree  was 
presented  by  the  Eitual  Committee  and  adopted.  This  prayer  is  quite  a 
radical  departure  from  what  some  of  us  have  been  accustomed  to.  The 
writer  is  disposed  to  look  upon  it  as  far  more  appropriate. 


78  Appendix — Part  I 


It  appears  that  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Missouri  has  been  investigating 
its  by-laws  for  a  long  report  is  made  from  a  committee  appointed  for  that 
purpose. 

The  grand  master  is  allowed  a  salary  of  $1,000.00  and  traveling  ex- 
penses not  to  exceed  $500.00.  The  salary  of  the  grand  secretary  is  fixed  at 
$3,600.00. 

A  revision  of  the  trial  code  of  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Missouri  was  made 
during  the  year.     This  is  submitted  in  full  and  adopted. 

A  motion  that  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Missouri  withdraw  from  the  Masonic 
Service  Association  was  presented  and  adopted.  The  principal  reason 
assigned  for  withdrawal  is  that  the  Association  appears  to  have  changed 
its  principal  object  to  one  of  education  and  research  instead  of  intelligent 
co-operation  in  matters  pertaining  to  national  or  international  disaster. 

The  pay-roll  of  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Missouri  amounted  to  $15,790.00. 

A  supplemental  report  from  the  Committee  on  Grand  Master's  address 
recommends  that  the  sum  of  $6,000.00  or  as  much  thereof  as  many  be  neces- 
sary be  set  apart  for  the  observance  of  the  Centennial  of  the  Grand  Lodge 
of  Missouri. 

The  Employment  Bureau  or  Board  of  Belief  submitted  an  interesting 
report  showing  that  during  the  year  1920,  two  hundred  twenty-four  appli- 
cants were  placed  in  positions  which  enable  them  to  earn  a  sustenance.  The 
total  cost  of  this  work  to  the  grand  lodge  was  $4,556.00. 

The  installation  of  the  officers  and  the  transmission  of  the  grand  mas- 
ter's  jewel  together  with  the  presentation  of  the  past  grand  master's  jewel 
closed  the  session. 

The  report  on  fraternal  correspondence  is  prepared  by  Eev.  C.  C. 
Woods.  Illinois  is  given  two  pages  of  very  brief  consideration.  There 
is  no  fault  found  with  any  of  our  transactions  from  which  it  is  assumed 
that  Brother  Woods  is  satisfied  with  what  we  did.  Two  quotations  are 
taken  from  the  address  of  Grand  Master  Daniel  G.  Fitzgerrell,  one  relating 
to  outside  organizations  and  the  other  to  German  speaking  lodges. 

Brother  Woods  thinks  that  the  reviewer  did  very  well  to  condense  his 
report  into  176  pages  and  remarks  that  the  work  is  worthy  of  even  more 
space  than  was  used.

Masonic  Correspondence  79 


MONTANA,  A.  F.  &  A.  M. 

1920 

The  proceedings  are  prefaced  with  a  numbei'  of  accounts  of  special 
communications  which  were  held  for  the  purpose  of  constituting  lodges, 
dedicating  Masonic  Temples  and  laying  corner-stones. 

The  fifty-sixth  annual  communication  was  held  in  the  city  of  Missoula 
and  began  at  9:30  A.  M.  on  Wednesday,  August  18,  and  concluded  the 
following  Thursday. 

The  Committee  on  Credentials  reported  all  the  grand  officers  in  their 
stations  and  places,  but  the  list  of  grand  representatives  does  not  show 
Illinois  to  have  been  represented. 

The  first  business  of  interest  was  the  annual  address  of  the  grand 
master,  W.  L.  Parmelee.  He  states  that  the  year  has  been  one  of  great 
activity  in  the  grand  jurisdiction  and  that  peace  and  harmony  abound  on 
every  hand.  He  declares  that  Masonry  should  be  a  progressive  science, 
and  seems  to  think  that  indications  point  to  an  eft'ort  on  the  part  of  the 
fraternity  to  serve  mankind.  He  pays  a  tribute  of  respect  to  the  fraternal 
dead  and  reports  seventy-nine  requests  received  by  Montana  lodges  to 
confer  degrees  by  courtesy,  and  says  that  Montana  lodges  made  ninety-five 
requests  to  other  lodges.  Three  lodge  were  constituted  during  the  year  and 
nine  dispensations  issued  for  the  formation  of  new  lodges. 

The  grand  master  reports  eighteen  official  visits  to  the  lodges  of  his 
jurisdiction  and  reports  the  laying  of  corner-stones  for  two  Masonic  Temples 
and  one  Shrine  Temple.  He  refused  to  issue  a  dispensation  to  a  lodge  to 
meet  on  Sunday  and  attend  the  corner-stone  ceremonies  of  a  deaconess 
hospital. 

The  grand  master  reports  one  thing  which  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Mon- 
tana does  which  is  somewhat  out  of  the  ordinary,  in  that  it  permits  the 
grand  master  to  assign  an  instructor  to  a  lodge  rather  than  allow  the  lodge 
to  select  whomsoever  it  chooses.  The  grand  master  recommends  that  per- 
manent quarters  be  selected  for  the  office  of  the  grand  secretary.  He  also 
recommends  that  a  building  fund  be  created  to  assist  w^caker  lodges  in 
constructing  Masonic  Homes  of  their  own  and  that  the  sum  of  $1.00  per 
member  be  set  aside  each  year  to  be  placed  in  such  a  fund.  Grand  Master 
Parmelee  rendered  ten  decisions,  almost  all  of  them  were  of  local  character 
and  pertained  princii)ally  to  the  construction  of  existing  laws.  One  de- 
cision which  he  made  is  sensible  and  logical,  it  being  that  the  master  may 
select  any  member  of  the  lodge  to  confer  any  of  the  degrees. 


80  Appendix — Part  I 


The  grand  master  was  not  able  to  attend  the  George  Washington 
Memorial  Association  when  it  held  its  meeting  but  he  gives  it  favorable 
mention  and  states  that  he  was  represented  by  proxy.  He  endorses  the 
Masonic  Service  Association  and  reports  a  long  list  of  speakers  who  were 
selected  to  visit  the  lodges  of  the  State  in  accordance  with  the  plans  of  the 
Association. 

A  splendid  tribute  is  paid  by  Grand  Master  Parmelee  to  the  grand 
secretary,  Toby  Hedges,  and  he  states  that  he  was  under  great  obligations 
to  that  official,  which  he  wishes  to  publicly  acknowledge.  Both  the  senior 
and  junior  grand  wardens  and  senior  grand  deacon  presented  reports  con- 
cerning visitations  made  by  them.  The  grand  treasurer  gives  his  receipts 
for  the  year  as  $35,178.52,  the  expenditures  being  $29,487.78.  The  Trustees 
of  the  Masonic  Homes  make  long  reports  of  the  receipts  and  disbursements 
made  by  them.  The  report  is  complete  in  every  respect  and  shows  the  very 
careful  manner  in  which  the  affairs  of  the  Home  have  been  administered. 

The  Board  of  Eelief  submitted  a  report  which  is  more  than  interesting, 
from  the  fact  that  it  contained  an  item  of  loans  made  to  twenty-eight  Ma- 
sonic farmers,  the  total  being  $6,700.00. 

Brother  E'.  M.  Hutchinson  who  attended  the  annual  meeting  of  the 
Masonic  Service  Association,  presents  a  long  report  in  which  he  sets  forth 
the  objects  and  purposes  of  that  society.  The  grand  lodge  paused  long 
enough  in  its  proceedings  to  receive  the  representatives  of  the  Supreme 
Council  of  the  Scottish  Eite,  the  Grand  Master  of  Eoyal  and  Select  Masons, 
the  Grand  High  Priest  of  the  Grand  Chapter  of  Eoyal  Arch  Masons  and 
the  Grand  Commander  of  the  Grand  Commandery  of  Knights  Templar. 

A  resolution  was  offered  extending  recognition  to  the  Grand  Bodies  of 
France.  This,  however,  was  not  adopted  and  the  question  of  recognizing 
French  Masonry  was  referred  to  a  special  committee  of  five,  who  were 
directed  to  report  at  the  next  session  of  the  grand  lodge.  The  recom- 
mendations of  the  grand  master  for  the  creation  of  a  building  fund  to  be 
raised  by  an  assessment  of  $1.00  per  capita  for  the  assistance  of  the  weaker 
lodges  of  the  State  in  the  matter  of  procuring  Masonic  Homes,  did  not 
receive  the  approval  of  the  grand  lodge.  A  motion  was  made  that  the  matter 
be  referred  to  a  committee  of  five  but  a  substitute  motion  was  later  made 
that  the  recommendation  of  the  grand  master  be  concurred  in  and  the 
Committee  on  Jurisprudence  be  instructed  to  prepare  suitable  amendments 
to  the  by-laws  covering  this  particular  subject. 

One  item  of  interest  which  is  reported,  is  that  of  the  initiation  of 
Ham  Kee  Chin,  the  first  Chinaman  to  receive  the  degree  of  Masonry  in 
Montana.  The  installation  of  officers  and  presentation  of  the  signet  ring 
closed  the  session. 


Masonic  Correspondence  81 

The  report  on  foreign  correspondence  is  prepared  by  H.  S.  Hepner, 
past  grand  master.  He  quotes  all  that  Grand  Master  Fitzgerrell  said  con- 
cerning organizations,  other  than  Masonic  and  pronounces  the  oration  of 
Edward  J.  Brundage  as  a  masterpiece  of  terse  sentences,  full  of  thought. 
Nearly  two  pages  are  quoted  from  the  oration.  He  compliments  the  Illinois 
reviewer  by  saying  that  his  reviews  are  well  considered  and  worthy  of 
perusal  by  all  Masonic  students.

NEW  JERSEY,  F.  &  A.  M. 

1921 

The  annual  communication  was  held  in  the  city  of  Trenton  on  April 
20  and  21. 

The  representative  of  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Illinois,  Eichard  C.  Wood- 
ward, is  recorded  among  those  present.  Of  the  lodges  of  the  State  209 
were  represented  while  five  were  not,  a  most  excellent  showing. 

The  grand  lodge  was  opened  in  ample  form  and  after  the  usual  prelim- 
inaries such  as  the  singing  of  Old  Hundred  and  the  introduction  of  dis- 
tinguished visitors  from  other  jurisdictions,  the  grand  master.  Cooper  H. 
Prickitt,  delivered  his  annual  address.  His  report  is  not  long  and  he  gets 
to  the  gist  of  matters  in  a  very  clear,  concise  and  pointed  manner. 

Among  the  first  things  reported  by  him  was  the  issuance  of  a  letter 
to  the  lodges  of  the  state  calling  attention  to  certain  practices  which  tend 
to  impair  the  dignity  of  the  work  and  he  asks  for  the  immediate  abandon- 
ment of  all  frivolity,  coarseness  and  ungentlemanly  conduct.  He  states 
there  has  been  very  little  occasion  for  the  exercise  of  discipline  during  the 
year  and  refers  to  the  affairs  of  the  Masonic  Home  as  being  most  prosperous 
and  satisfactory. 

He  reported  the  appointment  of  a  committee  to  solicit  funds  for  the 
George  Washington  Memorial  Association  and  recommends  the  continuance 
of  membership  in  the  Masonic  Service  Association. 

Warrants  were  issued  for  the  formation  of  six  new  lodges.  The  grand 
master  refused  to  issue  a  dispensation  to  form  a  lodge  in  Atlantic  City 
but  the  reasons  are  not  given. 


82  Appendix — Part  I 


The  statement  is  made  that  270  applications  were  presented  to  the 
grand  master,  relating  to  physical  defects,  244  were  waived,  16  refused,  and 
10  are  now  pending.  Several  decisions  are  reported,  two  of  which  are  of 
more  than  passing  interest. 

One  decision  was  to  the  effect  that  a  lodge  room  dedicated  to  Masonic 
purposes  may  be  used  by  the  Chapter,  Council  and  Commandery. 

Concerning  the  practice  of  the  worshipful  master  and  two  brethren 
opening  the  lodge  for  the  purpose  of  conducting  a  Masonic  funeral  the 
grand  master  decided  that  the  ritual  prescribes  the  number  necessary  to 
open  a  lodge  and  suggested  a  change  in  the  digest  making  the  required 
number  for  all  purposes  to  be  seven. 

One  Masonic   district  was  granted   entire   concurrent  jurisdiction. 

The  matter  of  restoring  the  charter  of  Schiller  lodge  which  was  revoked 
because  of  its  strong  German  tendencies  was  presented  to  the  grand  lodge 
with  the  recommendation  that  the  request  be  referred  to  a  committee. 

Eleven  petitions  for  the  formation  of  new  lodges  were  presented  in 
open  grand  lodge  and  referred  to  the  Committee  on  Dispensations  and 
Warrants. 

The  grand  treasurer  gives  his  total  receipts  as  $195,000.00  and  expen- 
ditures as  $183,000.00.  The  report  of  the  grand  secretary  goes  much  into 
detail  in  the  matter  of  figures. 

The  total  number  raised  during  the  year  was  7,794,  giving  the  Grand 
Lodge  of  New  Jersey  a  net  gain  of  7,170.  The  present  membership 
is  62,253. 

Immediately  following  the  report  of  the  Committee  on  Necrology  a 
special  ode  called  the  Necrology  Ode  was  sung  by  the  grand  lodge. 

The  Committee  on  Constitution  and  By-laws  apparently  had  a  busy 
year  for  they  report  the  examination  of  147  amendments  to  the  by-laws 
of  subordinate  lodges  as  well  as  12  new  sets  of  by-laws. 

The  Committee  on  Foreign  Correspondence  recommended  the  recognition 
of  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Hayti. 

The  Masonic  Employment  Bureau  of  New  Jersey  presented  a  report 
which  is  interesting  as  it  goes  much  into  detail.  During  the  year  under 
review,  257  applicants  were  placed  in  positions  and  the  total  earning  ca- 
pacity of  these  same  applicants  Avas  $674,320.00. 

The  grand  lodge  went  on  record  as  thoroughly  endorsing  the  George 
Washington  Memorial  Association  as  well  as  the  Masonic  Service  Association. 


Masonic  Correspondence  83 

On  the  second  day  the  grand  lodge  was  temporarily  closed  while  the 
children  of  the  Masonic  Home  were  presented  and  received  great  applause 
on  the  part  of  the  brethren. 

The  report  of  the  Committee  on  the  Masonic  Home  is  interesting  as  it 
goes  much  into  detail  concerning  the  activities  of  that  institution.  During 
the  year,  the  home  received  bequests  to  the  amount  of  $22,381.00.  From 
the  report  it  is  apparent  that  the  home  is  performing  its  work  in  a  most 
admirable  manner  and  is  doing  splendid  work  among  the  Masons  of  New 
Jersey. 

The  decisions  of  the  grand  master  were  approved  by  the  Committee 
on   Jurisprudence. 

The  installation  and  appointment  of  the  various  officers  closed  the 
session. 

The  report  on  foreign  correspondence  is  written  by  Robert  J.  Shirrifs 
and  is  brief  and  to  the  point.  Illinois  is  given  one  and  one-fourth  pages  of 
fraternal  consideration.  The  principal  acts  of  our  session  of  1920  are 
briefly  mentioned  and  a  liberal  quotation  is  taken  from  the  correspondence 
report  of  this  writer,  the  paragraph  quoted  being  that  relating  to  the 
stabilizing  of  existing  laws.  Brother  Shirrefs  writes  a  most  interesting 
report  and  it  is  a  matter  of  sincere  regret  that  he  made  it  as  brief  as  he 
has  done  in  his  document  for  1921.

NEW  MEXICO,  A.  F.  &  A.  M. 

1921 

The  annual  communication,  the  43rd,  opened  in  the  city  of  Albuquerque, 
on  Monday,  February  21.  The  first  act  of  the  grand  lodge  was  to  receive 
an  amendment  to  the  by-laws,  providing  that  electioneering  for  office  in 
the  grand  lodge  shall  be  deemed  a  Masonic  offense.  This  resolution  went 
to  the  Committee  on  Jurisprudence. 

The  Jurisprudence  Committee  made  a  report  that  at  the  last  meeting 
of  the  grand  lodge  they  were  directed  to  make  a  revision  of  the  law,  but 
they  express  the  opinion  that  they  are  without  authority  to  make  any 
changes  or  innovations  affecting  the  substance  of  existing  by-laws. 


84  Appendix — Part  I 


The  grand  master,  Eichard  H.  Hanna,  makes  a  report  which  is  quite 
long  and  deals  with  the  various  affairs  of  his  office.  He  takes  up  con- 
siderable space  in  chronicling  the  dead  of  his  own  and  other  grand 
jurisdictions. 

Three  corner-stones  were  laid  during  the  year,  all  of  them  being  for 
church  edifices. 

The  list  of  requests  to  confer  degrees  by  courtesy  is  an  extremely  long 
one.  Twenty-four  dispensations  were  granted  permitting  lodges  of  New 
Mexico  to  occupy  Masonic  Halls  jointly  with  other  orders  and  societies. 
Two  dispensations  were  granted  to  confer  the  degrees  on  more  than  five 
candidates  at  one  and  the  same  time.  But  two  decisions  are  mentioned,  both 
of  these  relating  to  matters  of  jurisdiction. 

The  grand  master  found  time  to  visit  eleven  lodges  of  the  jurisdiction 
and  he  states  that  on  each  of  his  visits  he  was  accorded  a  most  cordial 
welcome. 

Two  new  lodges  were  instituted  during  the  administration  of  the  grand 
master  and  one  lodge  duly  consecrated  and  dedicated. 

The  George  Washington  Memorial  Association  receives  favorable  com- 
ment as  does  the  Masonic  Service  Association  of  the  United  States. 

The  lodges  of  the  jurisdiction  are  reported  to  be  in  a  most  excellent 
condition  but  the  grand  master  thinks  there  is  a  tendency  in  too  many 
of  them  to  confine  their  activities  solely  to  the  conferring  of  the  degrees 
and  thereby  degenerate  into  mere  degree  mills. 

The  grand  treasurer  gives  his  receipts  as  $14,874.00  and  his  disburse- 
ments as  $9,774.00. 

The  report  of  the  grand  secretary  shows  the  number  raised  during  the 
year  to  have  been  528  and  the  present  membership  of  the  lodges  of  the 
State  5,276. 

One  thing  the  Grand  Lodge  of  New  Mexico  does  is  to  require  that 
an  amendment  to  the  by-laws  be  read  at  least  three  times  before  final 
action  is  taken.  This  ought  to  insure  everyone  a  full  knowledge  of  the 
proposed  changes  in  existing  laws. 

The  Committee  on  Ways  and  Means  gave  the  grand  secretary  an  in- 
crease in  salary  of  $1,000.00. 

The  Jurisprudence  Committee  reported  adversely  on  a  proposition  that 
all  business  be  transacted  while  the  lodge  was  opened  on  the  third  degree. 


3Iasonic  Correspondence  85 

The  amendment  relating  to  electioneering  for  office  in  the  jurisdiction 
was  adopted.  Illinois  has  the  same  rule  but  it  is  quite  noticeable  that  when 
some  of  the  boys  want  to  attack  the  grand  lodge  plum  tree,  they  do  not 
hesitate  to  enlist  the  assistance  of  their  friends  and  go  after  the  prize  in 
a  vigorous  manner. 

It  is  believed  that  the  Grand  Lodge  of  New  Mexico  will  have  a  hard 
time  to  enforce  its  action  on  the  matter  of  electioneering. 

The  grand  patron  of  the  Grand  Chapter  of  the  Eastern  Star  of  New 
Mexico  was  introduced  and  made  an  address.  Grand  Patrons  may  be 
popular  in  New  Mexico  but  they  are  very  much  in  disfavor  in  Pennsylvania. 

The  Grand  Lodge  in  New  Mexico  apparently  administers  its  charity 
through  the  pension  system,  for  there  is  an  appropriation  made  for  the 
widow  of  a  deceased  Master  Mason. 

One  thing  the  Grand  Lodge  of  New  Mexico  is  doing  and  for  which  it 
must  be  commended,  is  the  fact  that  it  is  building  up  an  endowment 
fund  for  the  education  of  orphans  of  deceased  Masons. 

The  report  of  the  grand  lecturer  is  interesting  because  he  states  that 
he  gave  to  the  brethren  of  a  proposed  new  lodge  thirty-eight  days  of 
instruction.  It  took  quite  a  long  while  to  pound  the  work  into  their  sky- 
chambers. 

A  resolution  endorsing  the  public  school  system  of  the  United  States 
was  introduced  and  adopted. 

The  installation  of  officers  marked  the  closing  of  the  session. 

The  report  on  correspondence  is  prepared  by  John  Milne  and  is  con- 
sidered topically.  From  Illinois  he  quotes  a  paragraph  from  Grand  Master 
Fitzgerrell 's  report  on  the  George  Washington  Memorial  Association,  also 
the  report  of  the  Committee  on  the  Masonic  Service  Association,  as  well  as 
what  Brother  Fitzgerrell  says  under  the  caption,  "A  Pernicious  Practice."

NEW  SOUTH  WALES,  A.  F.  &  A.  M. 

1920 

This  trrand  lodge  holds  quarterly  communications,  dividing  up  its  trans- 
actions during  the  year.  The  first  one  under  consideration  was  held  July  9, 
1919.  Grand  Master  William  Thompson,  makes  his  customary  report  in 
which  he  condemns  the  practice  of  black-balling,  and  reports  the  presence 
of  the  grand  representative  of  Illinois,  William  Deavis.  No  business  of 
any  importance  apjiears  to  have  been  transacted  at  this  communication. 

At  a  quarterly  communication  held  September  10,  the  grand  master 
addressed  the  grand  lodge  at  some  length,  reporting  various  official  acts 
and  announcing  that  during  the  quarter  he  had  issued  154  dispensations,- 
77  of  them  were  to  wear  regalia. 

One  suggestion  which  was  made  that  the  grand  lodge  erect  a  tablet  in 
honor  of  those  members  of  the  fraternity  who  died  during  the  war. 

The  Grand  Inspector  of  Workings  makes  quite  an  interesting  report 
showing  that  this  grand  lodge  through  a  system  of  visitation  keeps  in 
close  touch  with  the  lodges  of  its  jurisdiction. 

The  report  of  the  grand  treasurer  made  at  this  time,  shows  the  treas- 
ury to  contain  over  one-half  million  dollars.  The  roll  of  those  killed  in 
the  war,  which  appears  in  the  proceedings,  is  a  long  one. 

At  the  quarterly  communication  held  December  10,  1919,  the  grand 
master  reported  the  constitution  of  three  new  lodges,  the  laying  of  the 
corner-stone  of  a  Masonic  Temple  and  the  dedication  of  one  Masonic  hall. 
A  lodge  which  advertised  a  social  evening  with  music,  song  and  dance  at  so 
much  per  for  admission  comes  in  for  considerable  criticism  on  the  part  of 
the  grand  master  who  looks  upon  the  act  as  one  being  undignified  and  not 
consistent  with  the  high  character  of  the  fraternity. 

One  lodge  which  initiated  some  candidates  that  were  not  physically 
perfect,  received  a  light  sentence  but  were  admonished  bj'  the  grand  master 
that  if  the  offense  was  repeated,  the  charter  of  the  lodge  would  be 
arrested. 

At  the  quarterly  communication  held  March  10,  1920,  three  new  lodges 
were  reported  as  having  been  consecrated  and  dispensations  issued  to  the 
number  of  124. 

The  principal  business  transacted  at  this  quarterly  meeting  appears  to 
have  been  largely  routine.  Some  discussion  was  manifest  concerning  con- 
structions of  the  work  which  had  been  made  by  the  Eitual  Committee  and 
the  grand  lodge  proceeded  to  get  after  that  association  of  individuals. 


Masonic  Correspondence  87 

The  last  communication  under  review  is  dated  June  22,  1920.  The  grand 
master  reports  the  consecration  of  three  lodges,  the  dedication  of  two  tem- 
ples and  the  laying  of  the  corner-stone  of  one  Masonic  edifice. 

His  country  visitations  were  numerous  as  were  his  dispensations  issued, 
which  amounted  to  148  for  the  three  months  passed. 

The  grand  master  reports  the  extending  of  congratulations  to  the  Prince 
of  Wales  because  of  his  reception  into  the  fraternity. 

No  business  in  particular  appears  to  have  been  transacted  at  this  com- 
munication. A  short  resume  of  general  Masonic  conditions  is  given  by  the 
Committee  on  Foreign  Correspondence.  The  regular  report  appears  at  the 
close  of  the  proceedings.  Illinois  receives  two  pages  of  consideration,  a 
liberal  extract  being  taken  from  the  address  of  Grand  Master  Fitzgerrell 
and  the  various  transactions  of  our  grand  lodge  chronicled  in  brief. 

Concerning  the  correspondence  report  of  1910,  Brother  S.  Scott  Young 
makes  the  following  comment,  for  which  this  writer  returns  grateful 
thanks: 

' '  His  reviews  of  the  various  grand  lodge  transactions  are  excellent, 
especially  his  criticisms,  and  anyone  who  cannot  spare  the  time  to  go 
through  them  all  can  keep  himself  posted  in  all  essentials  by  reading 
Brother  Darrah's  report."

NEW  YORK,  F.  &  A.  M. 

1921 

The  one  hundred  fortieth  annual  communication  opened  in  the  grand 
lodge  room  of  the  Masonic  Temple  in  the  city  of  New  York,  on  the  after- 
noon of  May  3.  The  report  of  the  Committee  on  Credentials  shows  the 
presence  of  all  grand  officers  and  representatives  from  nearly  every  lodge 
in  the  State.  The  grand  representative  of  Illinois  does  not  appear  to  have 
been  present.  It  did  not  take  the  grand  lodge  long  to  get  down  to  actual 
business. 

The  first  item  of  interest  is  the  address  of  the  grand  master,  Robert  H. 
Robinson.  He  expresses  the  idea  that  Freemasonry  has  a  great  mission  to 
perform  at  the  present  time  in  counteracting  those  forces  which  seem  to  be 
invading  the  peaceable  and  sane  order  of  things.  Tril)utos  of  respect  are 
paid  to  a  large  number  of  distinguished  Masons,  who  passed  beyond  during 
the  year. 


88  Appendix — Part  I 


Fourteen  dispensations  were  issued  for  the  formation  of  new  lodges, 
showing  that  the  Grand  Lodge  of  New  York  is  growing  rapidly.  Among 
the  appointments  announced  is  that  of  Walter  E.  Frew  of  the  State  of 
New  York  as  representative  of  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Illinois.  The  grand 
lodge  was  assembled  eleven  times  during  the  year  for  the  performance  of 
official  functions  and  visitations  to  lodges.  On  June  26,  the  grand  master 
assembled  his  district  deputies  at  the  Masonic  Home  in  Utica  and  held  a 
conference  with  them,  discussing  many  matters  of  interest  to  the  craft  and 
much  valuable  information  as  to  Masonic  conditions  was  laid  before  the 
deputies  and  their  duties  made  very  clear. 

One  matter  which  the  grand  master  discussed  in  his  address  is  what 
he  calls  congestion  of  work,  due  to  the  large  amount  of  material  that  is 
waiting,  and  has  been  kept  waiting,  in  order  to  consummate  membership 
in  the  lodges.  The  grand  master  very  plainly  states  to  his  grand  lodge 
that  while  he  does  not  approve  of  the  wholesale  initiation  of  candidates,  yet 
he  believes  that  a  way  can  be  found,  whereby  the  burden  may  be  lessened 
and  the  real  purpose  of  the  fraternity  accomplished. 

Concerning  cipher  rituals,  Grand  Master  Eobinson  makes  some  very 
pertinent  remarks.  He  calls  attention  to  the  fact  that  concerns  in  New 
York  have  grown  rich  in  selling  these  books  to  Masons.  As  a  remedy,  he 
suggests  that  the  grand  lodge  take  over  the  matter  and  publish  its  ovm 
ritual  for  dissemination  among  the  craft.  The  same  condition  that  Brother 
Eobinson  refers  to,  exists  to  a  large  degree  right  in  the  State  of  Hlinois, 
and  this  writer  has  always  contended  that  the  only  way  to  beat  the  Cipher 
Eitual  vender  is  for  each  grand  lodge  to  take  hold  of  the  matter  itself, 
and  to  issue  its  own  rituals  under  certain  restrictions. 

One  thing  the  Grand  Lodge  of  New  York  has  done  in  the  last  eight 
years,  has  been  to  reduce  the  debt  on  the  Masonic  Temple  from  $2,400,000.00 
to  $700,000.00.  The  War  Eelief  or  Hospital  Fund  which  the  grand  lodge 
established  last  year  shows  a  total  of  $796,724.68.  The  grand  master  esti- 
mates that  it  will  cost  $150,000.00  per  year  to  maintain  and  operate  the 
hospital,  providing  150  patients  are  cared  for  and  if  the  number  should 
go  above  that,  the  maintenance  cost  would  be  increased  accordingly. 

The  grand  master  recommended  that  the  Committee  on  the  George 
Washington  Memorial  Association  be  continued.  Eeference  is  made  to  the 
inauguration  of  President  Harding  and  the  famous  bible  on  which  he  took 
his  oath,  now  the  priceless  treasure  of  St.  John's  Lodge  of  New  York  City. 

Brother  Eobinson  thinks  that  the  Grand  Lodge  of  New  York  is  moving 
forward  along  energetic,  constructive  lines.  Eeference  is  made  to  the  work 
of  the  Committee  on  Social  and  Educational  Service.  During  the  year  the 
following  list   of  questions  was  submitted  which  are  reproduced  by  the 


Masonic  Correspondence  89 

grand  master  in  his  address  with  his  comment  thereon.  The  questions  sub- 
mitted in  the  notice  were  as  follows: 

"Do  you  believe  that  our  fraternity  should  be  a  more  active  force  for 
good  in  our  community  and  in  our  Nation?" 

' '  Do  you  believe  that  Masonic  principles  could  be  well  applied  for  our 
civic  and  national  welfare?" 

"Are  you  in  favor  of  an  applied  Masonic  Service  to  God,  to  Country 
and  to  Humanity?" 

"When  I  read  those  questions,  my  brethren,  I  tested  myself  and  my 
answer  to  each  of  them  was  unhesitatingly,  yes.  They  do  not  violate  any 
of  the  traditions  or  landmarks  of  the  craft  so  often  alluded  to  and  which 
I  fear  are  held  more  in  the  imagination  than  in  the  reality  and  to  me  they 
go  back  to  the  spirit  of  nearly  a  century  and  a  half  ago  when  the  men  of 
our  craft  who  wrote  the  Declaration  of  Independence  and  proclaimed  the 
Constitution  of  the  United  States  of  America,  believed  in,  emulated  and 
openly  stood  for  all  that  these  questions  comprehensively  command  us  to 
be  and  to  do." 

The  address  of  Brother  Eobinson  is  a  document  of  more  than  passing 
interest.  There  is  an  absence  of  time  worn  platitude  and  the  whole  shows 
a  disposition  to  present  the  subject  of  Freemasonry  in  a  plain,  practical 
manner  that  will  result  in  bringing  members  of  the  craft  to  realize  that  the 
institution  is  of  far  reaching  consequence. 

The  grand  secretary  reports  the  total  number  raised  during  the  year  to 
have  been  22,914.  He  gives  the  present  membership  as  254,282.  The  grand 
treasurer  gives  his  receipts  as  $470,333.00  and  expenditures  $464,993.00. 

The  trustees  of  the  Masonic  Home  and  Asylum  Fund  made  a  report 
which  is  interesting  because  it  shows  the  magnitude  of  the  work  that  the 
Grand  Lodge  of  New  York  is  engaged  in. 

The  State  of  New  York  provides  for  five  custodians  of  the  work  and 
it  employs  one  grand  lecturer,  whose  business  it  is  to  visit  and  instruct  lodges 
without  cost  to  the  lodge.  The  grand  lecturer  has  full  charge  of  the  work 
and  is  vested  with  full  power  to  appoint  assistant  grand  lecturers  to  act 
in  the  various  Masonic  districts  of  the  State. 

All  lodges  working  under  dispensations  were  given  their  charters.  The 
Committee  on  Grievances  found  something  to  do  during  the  year,  for  they 
report  a  number  of  cases  which  come  under  their  jurisdiction. 

The  Committee  on  Appeals  report  several  cases  which  were  presented 
to  them.  In  nearly  every  instance  the  action  of  the  lodge  in  the  premises 
was  sustained. 


90  Appendix — Part  I 


The  grand  historian,  O.  H.  Lang,  makes  a  very  long  report  and  goes 
much  into  detail  concerning  the  history  of  Masonry  in  the  State  of  New 
York. 

The  Committee  on  Educational  Service  held  eight  conferences  during 
the  year  which  were  largely  attended  and  much  benefit  derived  from  the 
various  discussions  which  took  place.  The  total  cost  of  the  educational 
work  was  $8,561.26.  A  resolution  was  introduced,  providing  for  the  publi- 
cation of  a  cipher  ritual,  and  the  appointment  of  a  committee  to  take  charge 
of  same.  It  is  expected  that  this  committee  will  make  a  report  at  the  next 
session  of  the  grand  lodge. 

The  Committee  on  Jurisprudence  had  very  little  to  do  for  the  grand 
master  made  no  decisions. 

The  Committee  on  Finance  fixes  the  salary  of  the  grand  secretary  at 
$9,000.00  and  allowed  him,  for  clerk  hire,  the  sum  of  $10,600.00.  It  is 
apparent  that  the  Grand  Lodge  of  New  York  believes  in  properly  compen- 
sating its  officers. 

The  election  and  installation  of  officers  closed  the  session. 

The  report  on  foreign  correspondence  is  written  by  Wm.  Sherer.  He 
gives  Illinois  one  page  of  condensed  review  and  very  briefly  mentioned 
some  of  the  principal  things  in  the  address  of  Grand  Master  Fitzgerrell. 
There  is  absolutely  no  criticism  offered  concerning  any  of  our  transactions 
for  the  year  of  1920,  and  the  correspondence  report  of  this  writer  is  referred 
to  as  a  remarkably  fine  report  on  Masonic  correspondence,  for  which  com- 
pliment Brother  Sherer  receives  grateful  thanks.

NEW  ZEALAND 

1920 


The  city  of  Invercargill  in  Victoria  Hall  had  the  pleasure  of  enter- 
taining the  grand  lodge  at  its  thirty-first  annual  communication  held  on 
Monday,  May  3. 

The  deputy  grand  master  opened  the  grand  lodge  in  the  absence  of  the 
grand  master  who  was  unable  to  be  present.  He  sent  a  letter  to  the  grand 
lodge  expressing  his  deep  regret  in  not  being  able  to  participate  in  the  busi- 
ness of  the  annual   communication. 


Masonic  Correspondence  91 

The  election  of  officers  was  held  early  in  the  session  and  resulted  in 
the  re-election  of  the  present  grand  master. 

The  charity  of  the  Grand  Lodge  of  New  Zealand  appears  to  be  ad- 
ministered through  a  Board  of  Benevolence.  They  make  a  detailed  report 
to  the  grand  lodge  which  shows  that  the  jurisdiction  is  by  no  means  remiss 
in  its  duty  toward  those  members  of  the  fraternity  and  their  families  who 
need  its  assistance.  It  is  apparent  that  the  grand  lodge  is  vigilant  in  the 
matter  of  raising  funds,  for  numerous  tables  appear  which  show  that 
every  effort  is  being  made  to  increase  the  charitable  holdings  of  the  body. 

The  Board  of  General  Purposes  appear  to  have  supervision  over  the 
grand  lodge  and  to  exercise  many  of  the  functions  which  are  accorded  to 
the  grand  master  in  the  United  States. .  They  report  three  new  lodges 
having  been  formed  during  the  year  and  refer  liberally  to  various  peace 
celebrations  held  by  Masonic  lodges  in  the  jurisdiction.  The  Board  of 
General  Purposes  report  unfavorably  on  the  matter  of  recognizing  Masonry 
of  France. 

It  was  decided  to  place  a  tax  upon  each  past  master  in  order  to  cover 
charges  for  various  papers  and  pamphlets  which  the  grand  lodge  issued 
during  the  year. 

The  condition  of  the  craft  was  reported  to  be  thriving  so  much  so  that 
the  salary  of  the  grand  secretary  was  increased  from  $3,000.00  to  $4,000.00. 

The  installation  of  officers  was  made  quite  an  elaborate  affair  and  took 
place  in  the  evening.  The  grand  master,  after  his  installation,  made  a 
lengthy  address  to  the  grand  lodge,  taking  up  matters  of  importance  to  the 
jurisdiction. 

He  paid  his  respects  to  what  he  called  the  ' '  unattached  Mason ' '  and 
seemed  to  be  of  the  opinion  that  something  should  be  done  to  bring  this 
individual  back  into  the  Masonic  fold. 

The  balance  of  the  business  transacted  at  this  communication  was  very 
largely  routine,  nothing  unusual  appearing,  which  shows  clearly  that  the 
grand  lodge  was  perfectly  willing  to  let  well  enough  alone.

NORTH  CAROLINA,  A.  F.  &  A.  M. 

1920 

The  one  hundred  thirty-third  annual  communication  was  held  in  the 
city  of  Raleigh  on  Tuesday  evening,  January  20,  the  grand  lodge  opening 
at  7:30  o'clock.  The  Committee  on  Credentials  credit  P.  T.  Wilson,  the 
representatives  of  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Illinois  with  being  present. 

The  first  item  of  interest,  according  to  the  usual  program,  is  the 
annual  address  of  the  grand  master.  He  opens  by  referring  to  the  close 
of  the  war  and  the  general  eflfeet  that  must  be  expected  in  this  country, 
as  a  result  of  the  world  turmoil.  He  is  very  caustic  in  the  following 
paragraph : 

' '  Coming  back  to  our  own  Order,  we  find  that  Masons  are  not  satisfied 
with  the  divine  truths  inculcated  in  the  symbolic  degrees;  but  they  wish  to 
wear  the  purple  of  the  so-called  'higher  bodies.'  The  Arabic  Fez,  coupled 
with  a  foolish  street  parade,  brings  more  joy  to  the  modern  Mason  than  all 
the  beauties  of  the  third  obligation;  and  the  resurrection  of  the  body  pales 
into  insignificance  when  compared  to  the  alcoholic  elevation  of  the  soul. 
And  although  we  are  taught  that  it  is  decidedly  unmasonic  to  solicit  can- 
didates, yet  we  find  a  large  number  of  those  'elevated'  gentry  going 
about  the  State  with  petitions  in  their  pockets,  openly  and  notoriously  beg- 
ging men  to  join;  and  I  have  no  hesitancy  in  asserting  that  ninety  per  cent 
of  the  Knights  Templar,  Shriners  and  32d  degi'ce  Scottish  Eite  Masons 
are  unable  to  repeat  the  obligation  of  the  Master 's  degree  as  it  is  taught 
by  the  grand  lecturers.  I  know  that  this  statement  will  be  challenged; 
but  I  stand  ready  for  the  test." 

The  Masonic  Service  Association  of  the  United  States  is  commended 
and  the  per  capita  levy  of  five  cents  is  suggested  by  the  grand  master.  He 
also  recommends  a  per  capita  tax  of  fifty  cents  for  the  benefit  of  the  George 
Washington  Memorial  Association.  He  calls  attention  to  the  Oxford  Orphan 
Asylum  and  Eastern  Star  Home  and  states  that  the  cost  of  maintaining 
this  institution  has  been  gradually  increased  from  year  to  year  until  it  is 
difficult  to  secure  ample  funds  to  carry  on  the  charitable  work  of  this 
institution.  He  recommends  a  tax  levy  of  $10.00  on  each  initiate,  this 
sum  to  be  used  in  connection  with  grand  lodge  appropriations  for  the 
benefit  of  the  Home. 

Grand  Master  Grady  seemed  to  think  that  some  of  the  grand  lecturers 
had  not  devoted  as  much  time  as  they  should  to  the  duties  of  their  offices 
and  charged  the  remissness  to  the  fact  that  proper  per  diem  is  not  allowed. 
He  recommended  as  follows: 


Masonic  Correspondence  93 

"That  no  lecturer  be  allowed  his  expenses  to  the  grand  lodge  unless 
he  shall  have  lectured  as  much  as  thirteen  full  weeks  during  the  year.  I 
further  recommend  that  each  grand  lecturer,  who  shall  have  lectured  for 
thirteen  full  weeks  be  paid  the  sum  of  one  hundred  dollars  ($100.00)  by 
the  grand  lodge;  and  a  similar  sum  for  each  additional  ten  weeks  of  work 
actually  done  by  him." 

The  grand  secretary  comes  in  for  most  hearty  commendation  and  the 
recommendation  is  made  that  his  salary  be  increased  to  $3,600.00  per 
annum. 

One  case  of  discipline  reported,  involves  a  member  of  a  lodge  who 
had  been  guilty  of  selling  cipher  rituals.  It  appeared,  however,  that  the 
lodge  of  which  the  miscreant  was  a  member,  made  frequent  use  of  these 
books  so  that  the  grand  master  found  it  quite  difficult  to  secure  the  prosecu- 
tion of  the  culprit.  In  the  trial  he  was  acquitted  and  the  grand  master 
appealed  the  case  to  the  grand  lodge. 

He  states  that  he  made  it  a  practice,  before  issuing  a  dispensation  to 
form  a  new  lodge,  to  require  the  employment  of  a  lecturer,  and  recom- 
mends to  the  grand  lodge  that  hereafter  no  charters  be  granted  until  the 
petitioning  lodge  shall  present  a  certificate  of  proficiency  from  a  grand 
lecturer.  The  grand  master  informs  the  grand  lodge  that  in  the  State 
some  lodges  charge  only  forty-five  cents  per  annum  as  dues.  He  thinks 
this  should  not  be  allowed  and  recommends  that  the  minimum  dues  of  all 
lodges  be  fixed  at  $2.50.  The  decisions  reported  relate  to  local  constructions 
of  law. 

The  grand  master  is  to  be  commended  for  taking  a  broad  view  of  the 
subject  of  physical  qualifications  for  he  recommends  the  following  amend- 
ment: 

"Amend  Section  111  of  the  Code  by  striking  out  all  of  paragraph 
(2)  thereof,  and  insert  the  following:  "Maim  or  deformity  shall  not  pre- 
vent a  candidate  from  initiation  and  advancement,  provided  such  candidate 
can,  by  artificial  means,  comply  with  the  provisions  of  paragraph  (1) 
hereof. ' ' 

One  of  the  suggestions  which  Brother  Grady  made  was  the  establish- 
ment of  a  Masonic  Mountain  Eesort: 

"The  idea  is  to  build  in  some  suitable  place  in  the  mountains  of 
North  Carolina,  a  Masonic  resort  where  lecturers  can  teach  those  who  wish 
to  learn  at  a  nominal  cost,  and  where  the  families  of  the  Masons  can  find 
recreation  at  the  least  possible  expense. ' ' 

The  most  interesting  paragraph  in  the  address  of  Grand  Master  Grady 
la  his  announcement  of  the   gift  of  a  beautiful   Masonic   Temple.     The 


94  Appendix — Part  I 


offer  came  from  Isaac  Emerson  of  Baltimore,  a  native  of  North  Carolina, 
who  offers  to  build  the  Temple  as  a  memorial  to  his  father  and  mother.  It 
is  proposed  to  have  a  grand  lodge  room  in  the  temple  where  the  grand 
lodge  may  meet  and  transact  its  business.  This  announcement  is  real 
refreshing  for  here  is  an  example  of  one  Mason  who  has  grasped  the  inner 
meaning  of  the  fraternity  and  has  set  an  example  which  other  wealthier 
men  ought  to  emulate.  The  grand  treasurer  reports  receipts  of  $40,886.00 
and  disbursements  of  $46,890.00. 

The  grand  secretary 's  report  is  quite  extensive  and  deals  with  many 
matters  which  passed  through  his  oflSce  during  the  year.  He  announces 
that  2,053  were  raised  to  the  sublime  degree  of  Master  Mason  and  states 
the  present  membership  of  the  State  to  be  30,912. 

The  grand  lodge  paused  long  enough  in  its  proceedings  to  listen  to  a 
splendid  oration  which  was  delivered  by  "Honorable"  Geo.  B.  Cowper. 
The  writer  would  have  much  preferred  the  word  ' '  Honorable ' '  dropped  and 
the  word  ' '  Brother ' '  substituted  therefor.  It  would  have  been  a  little  more 
in  keeping  with  the  democracy  of  the  fraternity. 

The  grand  lodge  seemed  to  find  favor  with  the  grand  master 's  recom- 
mendations for  a  Masonic  retreat,  a  committee  of  seven  being  appointed  to 
investigate  the  merits  of  the  proposition  and  report  to  the  grand  lodge. 

Quite  a  long  report  is  made  by  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the  Masonic 
Home.  Incorporated  therein  is  an  itemized  amount  of  work  done  by  the 
dentist  which  shows  that  the  Grand  Lodge  of  North  Carolina  does  not 
propose  to  have  the  teeth  of  its  charges  neglected. 

The  Committee  on  the  Masonic  Burial  Services  reported  a  slight  change 
by  way  of  an  addition  of  a  paragraph  which  is  word  for  word  the  same 
as  used  by  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Illinois. 

One  of  the  very  long  reports  is  that  from  the  committee  which  attended 
the  meeting  of  the  Masonic  Service  Association.  The  grand  lodge  approved 
all  that  the  committee  presented.  The  grand  lodge  operates  under  the 
budget  system,  for  the  Finance  Committee  came  in  and  assigned  certain 
sums  for  the  various  departments  of  the  grand  lodge  and  it  is  assumed  that 
they  will  be  expected  to  keep  within  their  appropriations. 

The  election  and  installation  of  officers  was  the  last  act  of  the  grand 
lodge.  There  is  no  report  on  foreign  correspondence,  other  than  a  brief 
resume  which  was  presented  to  the  grand  lodge  during  the  proceedings.

This  grand  lodge  convened  for  the  thirty-first  time  on  Tuesday,  June 
15,  in  the  auditorium  of  the  Masonic  Temple  at  Fargo.  The  proceedings 
are  reported  to  have  been  the  most  progressive  and  far  reaching  in  recent 
years.  The  preliminaries  consisted  of  singing  America,  presentation  of 
the  Stars  and  Stripes  and  singing  of  the  Star  Spangled  Banner  and  the 
reception  of  distinguished  visitors.  The  grand  master,  Amil  P.  Lanhart, 
presented  his  address  and  opened  by  saying  that  there  never  was  a  time 
in  the  history  of  our  country  when  there  was  a  greater  need  for  Masonic 
influence  and  service  than  there  is  today.  He  states  that  misunderstanding 
and  unrest  exists  everywhere  and  that  Masonry  can  do  one  thing  and  that 
is  to  see  that  the  principles  of  the  Declaration  of  Independence  are  pre- 
served.    He  states  that  good  citizenship  is  good  Masonry. 

He  reports  no  decisions,  stating  that  nothing  was  presented  to  him 
of  such  importance  to  dignify  them.  The  usual  number  of  by-laws  for 
constituent  lodges  were  approved  and  four  circular  letters  issued  upon 
subjects  Avhich  the  grand  master  desired  to  present  to  his  lodges.  He  refers 
to  the  division  of  the  State  into  districts  and  commends  the  splendid  work 
of  the  district  deputies.  One  lodge  was  constituted  and  the  Masonic  cot- 
tage which  the  grand  lodge  maintains  at  the  North  Dakota  State  Tubercu- 
losis Sanitarium  is  mentioned  as  plaj'ing  a  very  important  part  in  the  care 
of  those  who  are  afflicted  and  are  in  search  of  help.  The  Masonic  Service 
Association  is  presented  to  the  grand  lodge  and  two  cents  per  capita 
membership  levied.  The  George  Washington  Memorial  Association  receives 
favorable  mention  and  earnest  consideration  of  the  grand  lodge  is  asked  for. 
An  amendment,  making  the  past  masters  members  of  the  grand  lodge  and 
the  payment  to  them  of  mileage  and  per  diem  was  offered. 

The  grand  master  seemed  to  think  that  the  lodges  of  North  Dakota 
were  initiating  classes  which  were  entirely  too  large,  stating  that  it  was  not 
unusual  for  a  lodge  to  put  through  as  high  as  forty  candidates  at  one  time. 
He  recommends  that  the  law  be  changed  so  that  a  lodge  shall  not  be  per- 
mitted to  initiate  more  than  five  candidates  at  one  or  the  same  time.  He 
also  recommends  that  all  candidates 'raised  to  the  sublime  degree  of  Master 
Mason  be  required  to  pass  examination  in  the  third  degree.  A  recommenda- 
tion was  also  made  that  the  grand  lodge  dues  be  increased  from  75  cents 
to  $1.00  per  capita,  and  that  the  sum  of  $5.00  be  levied  as  a  tax  upon 
each  entered  apprentice  degree  conferred. 

The  grand  treasurer  gives  his  receipts  as  approximately  $18,000.00 
and  his  disbursements  $11,657.00.     The  grand  secretary's  report  is  quite  a 


96  Appendix — Part  I 


long  one  and  goes  much  into  detail  concerning  certain  affairs  that  the  grand 
secretary  handled  during  the  year.  The  number  raised  to  the  sublime  degree 
of  Master  Mason  was  760  and  the  net  gain  for  the  year  713. 

The  grand  lodge  maintains  a  library  and  museum  for  a  report  waa 
made  from  the  librarian  which  was  quite  interesting.  The  number  of  books 
circulated  is  given  in  detail  and  shows  that  the  members  of  the  fraternity 
were  quite  diligent  in  securing  Masonic  information. 

Quite  a  long  report  is  made  concerning  North  Dakota  Military  Lodge 
No.  2.  This  lodge  operated  during  the  war  and  accomplished  a  great  deal 
of  good  among  the  soldiers  who  were  overseas. 

The  grand  lecturer  reports  that  he  devoted  a  great  deal  of  time  to  the 
work  of  revising  the  ritual,  and  that  the  matter  is  now  in  presentable  shape 
to  receive  the  attention  of  the  grand  lodge.  The  ritual  as  revised  was 
ordered  in  2,000  copies,  to  be  printed  in  cipher  form. 

The  grand  lodge  also  took  up  the  matter  of  the  monitor  and  made 
certain  additions  thereto  which  were  deemed  for  the  best  interests  of  the 
lodge  and  the  candidates. 

The  Masonic  Service  Association  is  approved  and  report  made  to  the 
grand  lodge.  In  this  report  is  a  somewhat  severe  criticism  by  the  grand 
secretary,  which  reads  as  follows: 

"North  Dakota  views  with  wonder  the  furious  and  unreasonable  atti- 
tude of  our  brethren  of  Illinois  and  Washington.  The  persistence  with 
which  they  dig  up  ghosts  and  skeletons  of  general  grand  lodges,  which  have 
been  positively  and  finally  laid  to  rest  by  the  Masonic  Service  Association, 
would  lead  us  to  believe  that  there  is  no  such  thing  in  their  minds  as  honesty 
of  Masonic  purpose.  How  any  fair-minded  man  and  Mason  could  desire 
to  block  the  development  of  a  unified  Masonic  spirit  in  America,  passes 
comprehension,  especially  in  the  light  of  our  war  experiences  and  the  per- 
sistent and  unified  efforts  of  the  enemies  of  Freemasonry  in  America.  The 
Masons  of  Illinois  and  Washington,  that  is  the  rank  and  file,  feel  just  as 
the  rank  and  file  of  Masons  do  everjTvhere  in  the  United  States  and  sooner 
or  later  their  leaders  will  find  it  out." 

It  is  apparent  that  Brother  Stoekwell  is  very  much  wedded  to  the 
Masonic  Service  Association  idea.  The  George  Washington  Memorial 
Association  comes  in  for  favorable  mention  and  the  sum  of  $4,265.00  was 
collected  for  that  enterprise. 

Quite  a  long  report  is  made  by  Grant  S.  Hager,  the  fraternal  corre- 
spondent. He  has  considerable  to  say  about  the  second  Cedar  Eapids  con- 
ference and  it  is  apparent  that  he  believes  in  the  future  of  that  organization. 


Masonic  Correspondence  97 

The  Thompson  memorial  prize  was  won  this  year  by  G.  Jems  Fraser  of 
the  University  of  North  Dakota.  From  the  Committee  on  Chartered  Lodges 
the  information  is  gleaned  that  the  present  membership  of  the  lodges  of 
North  Dakota  is  12,325. 

The  Committee  on  Jurisprudence  makes  a  report  which  is  not  at  all 
long.  This  committee  apparently  handled  cases  that  came  up  from  con- 
stituent lodges  on  appeal,  for  in  the  report' is  found  decisions  made  by  them 
along  that  line.  The  grand  lodge  increased  the  per  diem  from  $2.00  to 
$3.00  per  day,  limiting  the  number  of  candidates  to  be  initiated  at  one  time 
to  five,  and  required  all  newly  made  Master  Masons  to  learn  the  lecture  on 
that  degree. 

The  installation  of  officers  closed  the  session. 

The  report  on  foreign  correspondence  is  prepared  by  Grant  S.  Hager. 
He  accords  to  Illinois  a  page  and  a  half  of  consideration.  He  quotes  from 
the  address  of  Grand  Master  Daniel  G.  Fitzgerrell,  and  says: 

"We  are  convinced  that  as  time  goes  on  there  mil  a  tightening  of 
rules  regarding  membership  in  organizations  other  than  Masonic.  The 
institution  in  character,  aims  and  aspirations  is  too  high  to  be  made  the 
butt  of  jokes  or  pose  as  a  buffoon  in  public  places." 

The  correspondence  report  of  this  writer  is  highly  commended.  He  says 
in  the  following: 

"Delmar  D.  Darrah  is  the  correspondent  for  Illinois.  He  is  a  man  of 
discernment  and  discrimination  and  writes  a  most  comprehensive  review. 
His  1919  effort  covers  one  hundred  and  seventy-five  pages,  each  worthy  a 
careful  perusal.  His  "Prefatory"  is  a  comprehensive  digest  of  outstand- 
ing topical  information,  valuable  alike  to  officers  of  the  grand  lodge  for 
reference,  or  to  the  casual  reader.  His  review  of  North  Dakota  touches 
the  high  lights  of  our  proceedings. ' '

NOVA  SCOTIA,  A.  F.  &  A.  M. 

1920 

The  annual  communication  which  was  the  fifty-fifth  was  held  at  Yar- 
mouth on  Wednesday,  June  9,  1920. 

The  first  thing  the  grand  lodge  did  after  the  preliminary  ceremony 
of  opening  was  to  form  in  solemn  procession  and  march  to  Holy  Trinity 
church  where  divine  services  were  held.  The  sermon  preached  on  this 
occasion  is  quoted  in  full  and  is  a  most  excellent  document. 

The  grand  lodge  resumed  labor  at  2:15  P.  M.  and  the  first  business 
was  the  address  of  the  grand  master,  George  D.  Macdougall.  The  report 
goes  into  detail  concerning  various  matters  which  claimed  the  attention  of 
the  grand  master  during  the  year. 

The  Masonic  Home  is  highly  commended  because  of  its  excellent  man- 
agement and  the  endowment  fund  for  the  maintenance  of  this  institution 
has  now  reached  the  sum  of  $62,000.00. 

Two  new  lodges  were  formed  during  the  year  and  one  Masonic  Hall 
was  dedicated. 

One  thing  the  grand  master  did  was  to  call  attention  to  the  observance 
of  St.  John's  day  and  all  lodges  of  the  jurisdiction  were  urged  to  par- 
ticipate in  a  proper  observance  of  this  Masonic  occasion. 

The  grand  master  states  he  was  not  able  to  visit  as  many  lodges  as 
he  would  like  but  he  did  meet  with  his  brethren  as  often  as  occasion  would 
permit.    The  list  of  visitations  which  he  submits  is  a  very  long  one. 

Fifteen  questions  are  offered  by  the  grand  master  together  with 
answers  to  same.  None  of  these  questions  are  out  of  the  ordinary  and  are 
along  the  line  of  the  general  queries  submitted  by  lodges  to  grand  masters. 
Nearly  every  question  should  have  been  answered  by  reference  to  existing 
regulations. 

In  conclusion,  the  grand  master  reports  the  net  gain  in  membership 
to  be  699,  a  very  good  showing  all  things  considered. 

The  grand  master  shows  the  good  taste  to  put  a  great  deal  of  irrelevant 
matter  in  his  report  into  an  addenda,  a  practice  which  should  be  observed 
by  more  grand  masters. 

The  report  of  the  grand  secretary  is  purely  statistical  in  character 
and  relates  to  the  acts  which  passed  through  his  office  during  the  year. 


Masonic  Correspondence  99 

Tho  grand  secretary  gives  the  present  membership  as  8,133  and  his  total 
receipts  at  $13,180.00. 

It  is  apparent  that  the  grand  lodge  maintains  a  cemetery  lot  which 
appears  to  have  been  a  gift  to  that  organization. 

Tho  trustees  of  the  Masonic  Home  make  a  long  report  going  much 
into  detail  concerning  receipts  and  expenditures  of  that  institution. 

One  thing  the  grand  lodge  did  was  to  report  adversely  on  the  petition 
of  a  number  of  brethren  who  asked  for  the  restoration  of  their  lodge  whose 
charter  had  been  arrested. 

The  reports  of  the  district  deputy  grand  masters  which  are  made  di- 
rectly to  the  grand  lodge  are  interesting  and  show  that  these  oflficers  have 
a  well  defined  conception  of  their  duty  and  have  performed  it  to  the  best 
of  their  ability.  These  reports  go  much  into  detail  concerning  transactions 
of  the  year. 

The  Grand  Lodge  of  Nova  Scotia  did  one  thing  and  that  was  to  fix 
the  minimum  fees  at  $3.5.00  of  which  $20.00  must  accompany  the  petition 
and  of  this  sum  $10.00  is  to  be  paid  to  the  grand  lodge  for  maintenance 
of  the  Masonic  Home. 

The  Grand  Lodge  of  Nova  Scotia  is  doing  some  excellent  work  in  the 
matter  of  Masonic  research  and  during  the  year  a  special  committee  which 
had  this  matter  in  charge,  sent  out  large  numbers  of  documents  containing 
valuable  information  to  the  craft  of  that  jurisdiction. 

Just  before  the  close  of  the  session  the  grand  representatives  were  duly 
received  and  accredited.     Don  F.  Fraser  represented  Illinois. 

The  report  on  foreign  correspondence  is  prepared  by  James  C.  Jones, 
grand  secretary.  He  considers  Illinois  in  four  and  one-quarter  pages  quot- 
ing the  principal  transactions  of  our  session  of  1919.  He  takes  the  opening 
paragraph  of  the  address  of  Grand  Master  Daniel  G.  Fitzgerrell  and  quotes 
all  he  said  concerning  German  speaking  lodges.  Brother  Jones  is  very 
frank  in  declaring  that  he  docs  not  agree  with  very  much  this  writer  said 
in  his  preliminary  paragi'aphs  to  the  correspondence  report  but  does  him  the 
honor  to  quote  all  that  was  said  under  the  subject  of  physical  qualifications. 
It  would  be  very  unusual  if  all  men  agreed  upon  all  subjects.  Probably 
Brother  Jones  belongs  to  the  old  school  but  no  fault  is  going  to  be  found 
with  him  for  the  opinion  which  ho  holds.

OHIO,  F.  &  A.  M. 

1920 

The  coniinimication  under  review  is  the  11th.  The  officers  and  members 
of  the  grand  lodge  met  in  the  Hotel  Deshler,  Columbus,  Ohio,  at  9:00  A.  M. 
and  under  escort  of  two  Commanderies  of  Knights  Templar  marched  to  the 
Masonic  Temple.  The  first  businesg  pf  importance  was  the  annual  address 
of  the  grand  master,  Mathew  Smith.  His  opening  remarks  are  quite  long, 
dealing  in  general  matters  of  felicitation.  He  speaks  of  proficiency  in  the 
ritual  as  necessary  to  success  in  our  lodges.  And  he  says  that  where  stops 
the  language  of  the  ritual  is  the  starting  point  for  more  personal  applica- 
tion. Tributes  of  respect  are  paid  to  the  dead  of  his  own  and  other  grand 
jurisdictions. 

One  of  the  first  acts  of  the  grand  master  upon  entering  upon  the 
duties  of  his  office  was  the  ai^pointment  of  a  Committee  on  History  of  the 
Grand  Lodge  of  Ohio.  He  states  that  104  dispensations  were  granted  dur- 
ing the  year  and  lists  these  fully  in  the  appendix.  Among  the  dispensations, 
refused  were  those  giving  permission  to  lodges  to  appear  in  public  parades. 

The  craft  in  Ohio  must  be  growing  at  a  rapid  rate  for  sixteen  dis- 
pensations for  the  formation  of  new  lodges  were  granted. 

The  gi'and  master  presents  a  memorial  from  the  Past  Master's  Associa- 
tion of  Cleveland  limiting  the  number  of  degrees  which  a  lodge  may  confer 
during  the  year  as  well  as  the  number  of  meetings  that  may  be  held  for 
work. 

Tlie  net  gain  in  membership  for  the  year  is  given  as  16,427.  This 
growth  is  phenomenal.  The  grand  master  speaks  of  his  visitations  to 
Lodges  as  the  most  cherished  of  his  recollections  as  grand  master. 

During  the  year  a  demand  arose  for  the  reprinting  of  the  ritual  and  a 
special  committee  was  appointed  to  consider  the  matter.  The  recom- 
mendation of  the  grand  master  is  that  the  ritual  be  reprinted.  Eitualistic 
efficiency  is  mentioned  and  the  work  of  the  schools  of  instruction  highly 
commended. 

Grand  Master  Smith  seems  to  think  that  the  instruction  relative  to 
the  apron  is  so  brief  in  form  that  lodges  have  been  led  to  select  extended 
apron  lectures  from  other  jurisdictions. 

A  recommendation  is  made  that  the  subject  of  a  longer  dissertation  be 
considered  and  recommends  the  subject  for  approval  of  the  grand  lodge. 

From  the  report  it  is  apparent  that  improvements  have  been  found 
necessary  in  the  Masonic  Home  of  Ohio,  particularly  an  increase  in  hos- 


Masonic  Correspondence  101 

pital  facilities.  However,  owing  to  unsettled  business  conditions,  the  Board 
of  Managers  have  deemed  it  inexpedient  to  proceed  with  the  work  at  this 
time.  The  by-laws  of  a  large  number  of  lodges  were  suljmitted  to  the  grand 
master  for  his  approval. 

In  conclusion  the  grand  master  pays  a  high  tribute  to  the  support  given 
him  by  the  grand  secretary,  J.  H.  Bromwell.  The  grand  secretary  gives  his 
total  receipts  as  $235,313.06,  and  his  expenditures  $166,684.00. 

It  is  apparent  that  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Ohio  is  prospering  financially 
and  making  money,  for  a  recommendation  appears  for  the  purchase  of 
$50,000.00  worth  of  bonds. 

The  report  of  the  grand  secretary  is  the  usual  document  of  this  kind. 
The  total  number  of  members  in  Ohio  is  given  as  148,480. 

The  Committee  on  Grievances  report  but  two  cases  as  having  been 
appealed  to  them.  The  Jurisprudence  Committee  submit  quite  an  interesting 
report. 

In  reference  to  the  suggestion  of  the  Past  Master's  Association  of 
Cleveland  that  the  amount  of  work  done  by  lodges  be  limited,  the  Juris- 
prudence Committee  seem  to  think  it  unwise  and  inexpedient  to  interfere 
with  the  work  of  these  bodies  and  recommends  that  more  work  meetings 
be  held  and  the  ceremonies  carried  on  by  relays  of  trained  workers.  Those 
secretaries  who  make  a  practice  of  keeping  their  books  and  records  at  home 
instead  of  in  the  lodge  hall,  came  in  for  some  attention  on  the  part  of  the 
Jurisprudence  Committee,  who  held  that  these  important  documents  should 
be  retained  in  the  lodge  rooms. 

One  amendment  to  the  by-laws  was  adopted  to  the  effect  that  no  charter 
shall  be  granted  to  a  new  lodge  which  has  not  adopted  a  uniform  code  of 
by-laws. 

The  committee  to  whom  was  referred  the  matter  of  an  extended  apron 
lecture  asked  for  further  time  to  consider  the  subject.  The  election  and 
installation  of  officers  were  closing  features  of  the  session. 

The  Grand  Lodge  of  Ohio  does  not  make  a  practice  of  presenting  the 
grand  master  with  his  jewel  during  the  session  of  the  grand  lodge,  but 
generally  appoints  a  special  committee  to  visit  the  retiring  grand  master 
at  his  home  and  to  make  the  presentation  at  that  place. 

The  report  on  foreign  correspondence  is  prepared  by  0.  P.  Sperra. 
Illinois  receives  two  and  a  half  pages  of  comment.  He  makes  a  brief 
resume  of  the  principal  acts  of  Grand  Master  Fitzgerrcll  and  chronicles 
the  more  important  transactions  of  our  grand  lodge.     He  makes  no  com- 


102  Apperidix — Part  I 


incnt  however,  showing  that  what  was  done  did  not  meet  with  disfavor.  A 
generous  extract  is  taken  from  the  oration  of  Edward  J.  Brundage,  and 
the  correspondence  submitted  by  this  writer  was  given  favorable  mention. 

The  writer  has  been  very  much  impressed  in  reviewing  the  proceedings 
of  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Ohio  in  noting  the  small  amount  of  legislation 
enacted.  This  shows  that  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Ohio  has  become  stabilized 
and  docs  not  propose  to  be  carried  off  its  feet  by  various  amendments  pre- 
senting newfangled  ideas  on  Freemasonry.  The  greatest  need  of  the  fra- 
ternity today  is  a  fixed  policy.  We  have  enough  laws,  rules  and  regulations 
to  last  us  for  a  long  time  and  it  is  refreshing  to  find  one  grand  lodge  whose 
proceedings  are  not  overburdened  with  changes  of  various  sorts. 

The  tremendous  increase  in  membership  in  Ohio  shows  that  Masonry 
is  working  out  its  real  purpose  and  is  accomplishing  it  in  a  far  better 
manner  than  in  many  States  where  continual  tinkering  with  existing  customs 
and  regulations  is  constantly  in  vogue.

OKLAHOMA,  A.  F.  &  A.  M. 

1921 

This  young  grand  lodge  observed  its  thirteenth  annual  communication 
in  Oklahoma  City,  opening  its  transactions  on  February  22,  There  was 
an  address  of  welcome  which  was  properly  responded  to,  after  which  the 
Committee  on  Rules  and  Order  of  Business  presented  the  agenda  which  was 
duly  adopted. 

The  first  item  of  interest  was  the  annual  address  of  the  grand  master, 
Frank  A.  Derr.  It  is  a  document  covering  thirty-eight  pages  and  deals 
with  the  various  transactions  for  which  he  should  account.  He  speaks  of 
the  year  as  one  of  marvelous  prosperity  as  well  as  peace  and  concord.  He 
refers  to  tlie  influx  of  new  members  coming  from  a  world  of  conflicting 
thoughts,  beliefs  and  ideals  and  says  the  fraternity  has  a  great  work  to 
perform  in  leading  these  men  along  proper  paths. 

The  fraternal  dead  received  tender  tributes  of  respect.  Twenty-four 
emergency  communications  of  the  grand  lodge  were  held,  of  which  twenty- 
one  were  for  the  purpose  of  laying  the  corner-stones  of  Masonic  Temples, 
school   buildings   and   churches.      Four   lodges  were   constituted   and   eight 


Masonic  Correspondence  103 

dispensations  issued  for  the  formation  of  new  lodges.  Four  consolidations 
of  lodges  took  place  during  the  year  and  the  charter  of  one  lodge  was  taken 
up  for  failure  to  transact  bui^iness  as  required  by  the  law.  Seven  dispen- 
sations were  issued  to  lodges  to  attend  church  services  and  various  other 
dispensations  to  waive  existing  laws. 

The  grand  master  states  that  he  refused  many  requests  for  dispensa- 
tions to  confer  degrees  out  of  time  because  he  did  not  consider  the  reasons 
given  justified  the  action.  Twenty-one  decisions  are  reported.  In  decision 
number  2,  he  defines  what  is  meant  by  dotage,  s.aying: 

"Dotage,  meaning  'Feebleness  of  understanding  or  mind,  particularly 
in  old  age'  cannot  be  determined  by  the  age  of  the  candidate  alone.  The 
lodge  must  determine  for  itself  whether  the  applicant  is  qualified." 

A  claim  of  the  Masonic  Belief  Association  of  Los  Angeles  is  referred 
to  the  lodge  for  such  action  as  it  may  deem  wise  to  take.  The  grand  master 
says  the  observance  of  the  Masonic  birthday  of  George  Washington  should 
be  considered  and  urges  lodges  to  hold  proper  programs  suitable  for  this 
occasion. 

The  George  Washington  Memorial  Association  as  well  as  the  Masonic 
Service  Association  receives  commendation  and  hearty  approval.  The 
Smith-Towner  bill  is  approved  by  the  grand  master  and  the  Masons  of  the 
State  urged  to  give  liberal  support  to  this  measure.  He  believes  in  Ma- 
sonic Education  and  says: 

' '  The  most  crying  need  of  Freemasonry  at  the  jiresent  time  with  our 
rapidly  increasing  membership,  is  education  in  the  fundamental  principles 
of  Masonrj^  No  matter  how  ,f  ar  we  may  eventually  go  in  the  cultivation 
of  the  educational  field,  the  immediate  task  is  to  bring  home  to  all  Masons 
those  great  fundamental  principles  which  none  deny  and  to  which  none 
should  be  indifferent.  'Knowledge  is  the  most  real  and  genuine  of  all 
human  treasures,  for  it  is  light  as  ignorance  is  darkness.'  " 

A  proposition  to  move  the  Masonic  Home,  which  was  submitted  to  the 
grand  lodge  for  ratification  w^as  defeated.  The  grand  master  reports  that 
an  experimental  school  of  instruction  would  be  held  during  the  grand 
lodge  session  and  asked  that  the  grand  lodge  give  this  earnest  considera- 
tion, with  a  view  of  either  continuing  the  practice  or  eliminating  it. 

Brother  Dcrr  reports  the  usual  number  of  visitations  and  closes  his 
address  with  some  very  appropriate  remarks.  Immediately  following  the 
address  of  the  grand  master,  the  grand  representatives  were  duly  received 
and   accredited. 

The  grand  secretary,  W.  M.  Anderson,  makes  quite  a  long  report  cover- 
ing financial  matters,  which  is  followed  by  the  grand  treasurer's  report, 


104  Appendix — Part  I 


which    shows    total    funds    to    be    accounted    for    by    him,    amounting    to 
$250,286.00. 

For  the  George  Washington  Memorial  Association,  the  total  sum  pledged 
and  paid  amounted  to  $21,260.00.  The  grand  lodge  adopted  a  motion  mak- 
ing November  4  a  Masonic  holiday  and  authorizing  the  constituent  lodges 
to  observe  this  anniversary  of  the  initiation  of  George  Washington  in  an 
appropriate  manner. 

Quite  a  long  report  is  made  by  a  special  committee  on  the  Masonic 
Service  Association.  The  committee  endorses  the  work  of  this  society  in 
very  strong  terms  and  asks  the  grand  lodge  to  make  the  necessary  appro- 
priation and  to  continue  its  membership. 

The  report  of  the  Masonic  Home  Board  is  complete  in  every  detail  and 
shows  that  institution  to  be  well  conducted  and  doing  a  most  excellent  work. 

The  Near  East  Belief  matter  came  in  for  consideration  and  the  work 
was  endorsed  and  the  lodges  of  the  State  urged  to  contribute  to  the 
enterprise. 

A  resolution  endorsing  the  public  school  system  of  the  country  was 
presented  and  adopted  by  the  grand  lodge.  The  question  of  recognizing  the 
Grand  Lodge  and  the  Grand  Orient  of  France  came  up  and  a  special  com- 
mittee that  had  this  matter  in  hand  recommended  that  no  action  be  taken 
at  the  present  time. 

The  Committee  on  Appeals  and  Grievances  evidently  had  plenty  to  do 
for  ten  cases  are  reported  together  with  their  findings.  An  amendment  was 
offered  similar  to  that  adopted  by  Colorado,  prohibiting  newly  raised  Mas- 
ter Masons  from  afSliating  with  other  orders  until  after  one  year  had 
passed.     This  amendment  was  ordered  carried  over  for  another  year. 

The  conclusion  of  the  meeting  was  the  installation  of  officers  and  the 
customary  presentation  of  the  jewel. 

The  report  on  foreign  correspondence  is  prepared  by  Thomas  C. 
Humphrey.  He  gives  Hlinois  two  pages  of  commendation.  He  quotes  what 
Grand  Master  Fitzgerrell  said  concerning  solicitation  for  the  higher  degrees 
and  quotes  from  Past  Grand  Master  Owen  Scott  on  the  subject  of  the 
Masonic  Service  Association.  He  quotes  briefly  from  the  correspondence 
report  of  this  writer.

PHILIPPINE  ISLANDS,  F.  &  A.  M. 

1921 

The  ninth  annual  communication  was  held  in  the  city  of  Manila  in  the 
Masonic  Temple  on  Tuesday,  January  25,  opening  at  4  o  'clock  P.  M.  The 
deputy  grand  master  performed  the  ceremony  of  opening  after  which  he 
sent  an  escort  out  to  bring  the  grand  master  into  the  grand  lodge  where 
he  was  tendered  a  most  cordial  reception. 

Brother  Palma  then  read  his  annual  address.  His  first  act  is  to  report 
the  dead  of  his  own  jurisdiction  and  he  enumerates  all  of  those  who  have 
passed  beyond  during  the  year  which  has  just  closed. 

The  increase  in  membership  is  mentioned  as  the  greatest  in  the  his- 
tory of  the  grand  lodge. 

Twelve  dispensations  for  the  formation  of  new  lodges  were  granted 
during  the  year.  The  grand  master  was  quite  liberal  in  his  visitations  to 
the  lodges  under  him  for  he  enumerates  a  long  list  that  received  recogni- 
tion from  him. 

One  thing  the  grand  master  did  do  was  to  recommend  the  adoption  of 
the  Pike  Eitual.  It  appears  from  his  address  that  previously  the  grand 
lodge  had  been  using  a  ritual  of  the  Scottish  Rite.  The  grand  master 
seemed  to  think  that  the  grand  lodge  should  take  over  the  entire  jurisdic- 
tion of  the  York  Eite  and  recommended  that  a  committee  be  appointed  to 
investigate  the  merits  of  the  Pike  Eite  in  relation  to  its  adoption  by  the 
grand  lodge. 

Much  effort  was  put  forth  during  the  year  toward  instructing  the 
lodges  of  the  jurisdiction  and  it  is  apparent  from  the  report  of  the  grand 
master  that  much  good  was  accomplished. 

The  grand  secretary  comes  in  for  very  high  praise  and  it  is  recom- 
mended that  his  salary  be  substantially  increased.  The  grand  master  made 
no  decisions  which  were  worthy  of  mention  except  two.  One  was  that  if  a 
member  of  the  investigating  committee  on  a  petitioner  made  an  unfavorable 
report,  there  should  be  no  ballot,  the  candidate  being  therc])y  rejected.  An- 
other decision  was  that  a  man  who  had  lost  his  left  arm  was  not  eligible 
to  receive  the  degrees. 

The  George  Washington  Masonic  Memorial  Association  is  couiiuended 
and  the  recommendation  made  that  the  grand  lodge  contriI)ute  $1,000.00  to 
the  enterprise. 

The  recommendation  is  also  made  that  the  grand  lodge  continue  mem- 
bership in  the  Masonic  Service  Association. 


106  Appendix — Part  I 


In  concliuling  the  grand  master  indicates  that  considerable  of  the 
opposition  to  the  fraternity  which  has  been  so  apparent  in  times  past  is 
commencing  to  subside  and  even  the  fair  sex  is  adopting  a  very  tolerant 
attitude  toward  the  society  inasmuch  as  it  is  commencing  to  attend  many 
public  ceremonies.  The  grand  master  suggests  that  the  institution  of  the 
Order  of  the  Eastern  Star  in  the  Philippines  might  be  a  great  help  to  the 
organization  and  even  goes  so  far  as  to  recommend  that  a  committee  be 
appointed  to  give  the  matter  consideration. 

The  roll-call  of  grand  rejiresentativcs  does  not  reveal  the  presence  of 
the  representative  of  Illinois. 

The  report  of  the  grand  treasurer  shows  the  grand  lodge  to  be  in  good 
financial  condition  while  that  of  the  grand  secretary,  which,  by  the  way,  is 
very  complete  and  goes  much  into  detail,  shows  that  the  number  of  Masons 
on  the  Islands  at  the  present  time  to  be  5,126.  The  grand  secretary  advises 
the  grand  lodge  of  the  necessity  of  employing  an  assistant  grand  secretary. 

The  report  of  the  grand  lecturer  is  supplemented  with  reports  from 
his  deputies  disclosing  the  visitations  for  instruction  made  by  them  and 
the  general  condition  of  the  lodges  visited. 

On  the  evening  of  the  first  day,  an  oration  was  delivered  by  Enrique  V. 
Filamor.  It  is  rather  laborious  in  character  but  no  doubt  pleased  the 
brethren  who  listened  to  it.  The  Custodians  of  the  Work  made  a  report 
concerning  the  Pike  Ritual.  The  committee  were  of  the  opinion  that  the 
introduction  of  another  ritual  at  this  time,  would  increase  many  difficulties 
now  existing  and  recommended  that  the  Pike  Eitual  be  not  adopted.  The 
grand  lodge  apparently  thought  the  committee  right  because  they  voted  to 
approve  their  report. 

It  appears  from  the  proceedings  that  the  Grand  Lodge  of  the  Philippines 
is  now  about  to  establish  a  Masonic  Home,  for  a  special  committee  was  ap- 
pointed to  look  up  sites  and  devise  ways  and  means  of  establishing  a  home 
for  the  care  of  indigent  members  of  the  fraternity. 

A  resolution  was  endorsed  and  referred  to  the  custodians  of  the  work, 
relating  to  the  use  of  cipher  rituals.  The  custodians,  however,  could  not 
see  the  wisdom  of  such  a  move  and  reported  adversely. 

Concerning  the  special  committee  appointed  to  introduce  the  Eastern 
Star  into  the  Philippine  Islands,  report  was  made  that  the  members  were 
not  well  enough  acquainted  with  the  general  work  of  that  organization  and 
suggest  that  the  incoming  grand  master  appoint  a  committee  to  go  very 
carefully  into  the  matter  and  report  at  the  next  session  of  the  grand  lodge. 

A  resolution  was  endorsed  and  adopted  providing  for  a  general  con- 
vention of  the  Masons  of  the  Philippine  Islands  for  the  purpose  of  getting 
better  acquainted  and  discussing  various  matters  of  import  to  the  craft.

The  election  and  installation  of  officers  together  with  the  presentation 
of  the  customary  jewel  closed  the  ses^sion. 

The  report  on  foreign  correspondence  is  prepared  by  George  E.  Harvey. 
Illinois  received  almost  four  pages  of  very  generous  consideration.  Our 
proceedings  for  the  year  1919  are  very  carefully  gone  into  and  the  prin- 
cipal acts  transacted  at  that  time  are  briefly  mentioned  but  without  com- 
mendation or  criticism.  The  oration  of  Edward  J.  Brundage  is  spoken  of 
in  very  high  terms  and  an  extract  is  reproduced  therefrom.  The  correspond- 
ence report  for  the  year  1919  is  favorably  commented  on  and  is  called  an 
excellent  report  and  the  review  is  referred  to  as  among  the  best  of  the 
year.  Brother  Harvey  has  the  thanks  of  this  writer  for  his  very  compli- 
mentary reference  to  Illinois  and  its  correspondent.

PRINCE  EDWARD  ISLAND,  A.  F.  &  A.  M. 

1920 

The  forty-fifth  annual  communication  was  held  in  the  Masonic  Temple 
at  Charlottetown  on  Wednesday,  June   25. 

The  Grand  Eepresentative  of  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Illinois,  W.  Samuel 
Lowe,  was  present.  The  first  business  was  the  annual  address  of  the  grand 
master,  James  MacDougall.  His  opening  remarks  partake  very  largely  of 
the  nature  of  a  sermon  and  the  text  appears  to  grow  out  of  general  con- 
ditions resulting  from  the  war. 

He  is  very  liberal  in  the  tribute  which  he  pays  to  the  dead  of  his  own 
and  other  jurisdictions. 

The  grand  master  was  very  generous  in  the  matter  of  visiting  lodges 
and  states  that  while  he  was  somewhat  disappointed  in  the  attendance  yet 
he  was  pleased  to  know  the  ritual  was  being  so  well  performed.  He  refers 
to  the  general  condition  of  the  craft  and  expresses  a  desire  for  a  more 
liberal  construction  of  the  law  on  physical  qualifications  due  to  the  fact 
that  so  many  soldiers  returning  from  the  war  maimed  and  otherwise  unable 
to  apply  for  the  degrees  of  the  fraternity. 

The  grand  master  thinks  that  lodges  do  not  attend  divine  services  as 
often  as  they  should  and  calls  attention  to  a  great  deal  of  dissatisfaction 
among  the  lodges  for  the  reason  that  the  grand  lodge  wants  them  to  attend 


108  Appendix — Part  I 


divine  services  and  then  requires  them  to  procure  dispensations  to  appear 
in  regalia. 

No  official  rulings  are  reported. 

Among  the  recommendations  made  is  that  every  lodge  present  its  by- 
laws for  the  approval  of  the  grand  lodge  at  its  next  annual  communication. 
If  this  is  done,  some  committee  will  certainly  have  their  hands  full.  An- 
other recommendation  made  by  the  grand  master  is  that  no  dispensation 
be  required  to  allow  a  lodge  to  appear  in  regalia  for  the  purpose  of  attend- 
ing church  services. 

The  financial  condition  of  the  grand  lodge  is  emphasized  and  a  recom- 
mendation made  that  a  per  capita  tax  be  levied  or  some  other  means  be 
made  to  j)rocure  additional  revenue. 

The  deputy  gi'and  master  makes  a  report  very  largely  social  in  character. 

The  total  receipts  reported  by  the  grand  treasurer  are  $951.10  and  he 
gives  the  assets  in  his  hands  to  be  $1,447.65. 

The  grand  secretary  in  his  report  gives  the  total  membership  of  the 
Grand  Lodge  of  Prince  Edward  Island  as  1,970.  The  net  gain  for  the  year 
was  but  forty-one.    The  number  of  lodges  in  the  jurisdiction  is  only  fifteen. 

It  appears  that  the  grand  lodge  is  about  to  adopt  a  new  ritual,  for  a 
committee  report  they  have  the  matter  under  consideration  but  are  not  in  a 
position  to  present  their  deductions  at  this  time. 

The  committee  on  physical  qualifications  which  was  appointed  the  pre- 
vious year  asked  to  be  continued  and  allowed  to  report  at  the  next  annual 
communication.  Their  request  was  granted.  On  the  evening  of  the  first 
day,  the  grand  lodge  assembled  in  solemn  procession  and  marched  to  Zion 
Church  where  they  attended  divine  services. 

The  remainder  of  the  business  transactions  appear  to  be  largely  rou- 
tine in  character. 

The  brother  who  preached  the  service  to  the  grand  lodge  was  voted 
the  munificient  sum  of  $10.00  and  the  church  where  the  services  were  ren- 
dered received  a  vote  of  thanks  while  the  organist  received  the  sum  of  $5.00. 

There  is  no  report  on  foreign  correspondence.

QUEBEC,  A.  F.  &  A.  M. 

1921 

The  fifty-first  annual  commmneation  was  held  on  the  9th  day  of 
February  in  the  city  of  Montreal.  According  to  the  report  of  the  Com- 
mittee on  Credentials  the  ambassador  representing  Illinois  does  not  appear 
to  have  been  present. 

The  deputy  grand  master  opened  the  grand  lodge  after  which,  with 
considerable  pomp,  the  grand  master  was  duly  received  and  accorded  all 
the  honors  of  his  otficial  position. 

Brother  Arthur  B.  Wood  then  presented  the  annual  address.  In  open- 
ing he  lays  great  stress  upon  the  ancient  landmarks  and  refers  to  the 
absence  of  old  familiar  faces  at  every  annual  communication.  He  gives  a 
long  list  of  the  dead  of  his  own  jurisdiction  and  pays  to  each  a  tribute  of 
respect. 

He  reports  the  condition  of  the  craft  to  be  most  gratifying  and  states 
that  the  number  of  initiates  has  now  reached  the  large  total  of  1,124,  giving 
the  province  a  net  membership  of  11,166. 

Seven  new  lodges  received  dispensations  showing  that  the  craft  is 
growing  at  a  rapid  rate. 

A  large  number  of  visitations  are  reported  in  detail  showing  that  the 
grand  master  was  disposed  to  mingle  with  his  brethren  as  much  as  possible. 

He  states  that  for  the  first  time  in  seven  years  the  celebration  of  the 
Festival  of  St.  John  the  Evangelist  was  observed  by  the  lodges  of  the  prov- 
ince. He  commends  the  practice  of  holding  annual  church  services  and 
states  that  a  much  larger  number  of  lodges  than  heretofore  observed  the 
ceremony. 

It  is  evident  that  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Quebec  docs  not  propose  to 
have  the  emblems  of  the  fraternity  made  a  travesty  for  the  grand  master 
recommends  that  all  lodges  desiring  to  j^rescnt  a  jewel  in  commemoration 
of  some  particular  event,  submit  it  to  him  before  finally  distributing  same. 

Forty-five  dispensations  were  granted  during  the  year  but  none  of 
them  are  of  startling  character.  Brother  Wood  refused,  however,  to  issue 
a  dispensation  to  confer  more  than  the  customary  degrees  at  one  meeting, 
also  to  initiate  candidates  who  were  physically  imperfect. 

Several  rulings  are  reported,  many  of  which  refer  to  local  interpretation 
of  law.  One  recommendation  which  the  grand  master  makes  is  that  mas- 
ters of  lodges  shall  so  plan  their  work  as  to  be  able  to  present  a  clean  sheet 


110  Appendix — Part  I 


at  the  end  of  the  year  and  leave  nothing  to  be  carried  over.  He  also  thinks 
that  the  amount  of  work  which  a  lodge  shall  be  permitted  to  do  should  be 
limited  and  no  lodge  should  be  permitted  to  do  so  much  work  that  the  can- 
didate fails  to  receive  individual  attention. 

The  grand  master  had  a  table  prepared  of  attendance  at  lodge  meet- 
ings. The  average  as  compiled  by  him  is  21  percent.  He  seems  to  think 
that  if  lodges  will  quit  overloading  their  meetings,  that  is  to  say,  if  they 
will  avoid  having  too  much  work  at  their  meetings,  they  will  be  attended 
more  readily.  Brother  Wood  believes  in  the  social  side  of  Masonry  and 
urges  lodges  to  take  up  the  intellectual  side,  believing  that  in  these  features 
lies  much  of  the  future  success  of  the  fraternity. 

The  report  of  the  grand  secretary  is  largely  statistical.  It  would 
appear  from  his  report  that  he  issued  dispensations  for  general  purposes, 
subject  of  course,  to  the  approval  of  the  grand  master.  The  total  receipts 
from  all  sources  were  $15,192.00.  The  grand  treasurer  presented  quite  an 
interesting  report  and  shows  his  general  holdings  in  stock,  bonds,  etc.,  to  be 
$142,760.00. 

A  feature  of  the  annual  meeting  was  the  address  of  the  grand  chaplain 
which  was  interesting  in  the  extreme. 

Eeports  of  district  deputy  grand  masters  are  very  thorough  and  show 
that  these  oificers  are  very  painstaking  in  the  discharge  of  the  duties  of  their 
office.  They  make  suggestions  and  recommendations,  all  of  which  should 
prove  beneficial  and  helpful  to  the  grand  lodge. 

Quite  a  long  report  is  submitted  from  the  Committee  on  the  State  of 
Masonry.  This  committee  take  all  reports  submitted  to  the  grand  lodge 
and  from  them  they  formulate  a  definite  plan  for  the  betterment  of  the 
society. 

Our  brethren  of  Quebec  are  by  no  means  remiss  in  the  matter  of 
administering  relief  to  their  distressed  members.  The  report  submitted 
to  the  grand  lodge  shows  they  did  their  full  duty  in  this  respect. 

The  installation  of  ofB.cers  closed  the  session. 

Hlinois  for  1920  is  reviewed  by  Brother  E.  T.  D.  Chambers,  past 
grand  master.  He  makes  brief  reference  to  the  principal  transactions  of 
our  session  of  1920  and  quotes  liberally  from  the  special  Committee  on  the 
Masonic  Service  Association. 

In  referring  to  the  correspondence  report  of  this  writer  he  is  very  gen- 
erous and  pays  him  the  following  comment,  "His  comments  show  thought- 
fulness  and  common  sense  judgment,  and  are  admirably  expressed."

RHODE  ISLAND,  F.  &  A.  M. 

1920 

The  Grand  Lodge  of  Rhode  Island  meets  semi-annually.  What  is  called 
the  semi-annual  communication  was  held  Monday,  November  17  in  Free 
Masons  Hall,  Providence.  The  brethren  arose  and  sang  the  Star  Sjjangled 
Banner,  after  which  an  extended  report  was  presented,  relating  to  Over 
Seas  Lodge,  No.  1,  which  originated  and  did  the  work  of  Masonry  while 
located  in  Coblenz,  Germany.  The  total  number  of  members  signing  the 
by-laws  of  this  lodge  were  four  hundred  eighty-six,  of  which  number  thirty- 
one  were  from  the  State  of  Illinois.  The  report  of  the  activities  of  this  lodge 
is  interesting  and  no  doubt  it  accomplished  much  good.  The  Masons  of 
Ehode  Island  have  had  under  consideration,  the  question  of  erecting  a  new 
Masonic  Temple.  At  that  semi-annual  communication  the  committee  made 
a  report  recommending  the  construction  of  a  temple  to  cost  $1,000,000.00 
and  suggested  as  a  means  of  helping  to  defray  the  expenses,  a  per  capita 
tax  of  $10.00  to  be  placed  on  all  candidates. 

The  one  hundred  thirtieth  annual  communication  was  held  in  Provi- 
dence on  May  17,  opening  at  10:00  o'clock  Monday.  The  first  item  of 
interest  was  the  address  of  the  grand  master.  He  reports  the  condition 
of  the  fraternity  to  have  been  the  most  prosperous  in  the  Mafeonic  history 
of  the  State.  One  thousand  eight  hundred  fifty-one  new  members  were 
added  to  the  roll,  giving  the  membership  of  the  State  at  12,414. 

Much  is  made  of  the  cordial  welcome  extended  to  returned  soldiers  on 
the  part  of  the  lodges  to  which  they  belonged.  Some  of  them  received  cer- 
tificates of  life  membership,  while  others  had  tablets  in  their  honor  placed 
in  the  lodge  rooms. 

The  grand  master  reports  quite  a  number  of  dispensations  to  attend 
church  services,  but  his  dispensations  for  other  purposes  were  limited 
in  number.  From  the  amendments  to  by-laws  approved  by  the  grand 
master,  it  is  quite  apparent  that  the  lodges  of  the  jurisdictions  have  been 
increasing  their  fees. 

The  Masonic  Service  Association  of  the  United  States  is  endorsed  as 
is  also  the  George  Washington  Memorial  Association.  For  this  latter  enter- 
prise the  State  of  Ehode  Island  raised  the  sum  of  $3,700.00. 

The  gr-and  master  visited  a  large  number  of  lodges  in  his  jurisdiction, 
which  showed  a  desire  on  his  part  to  keep  in  touch  with  the  activities  of  the 
craft.  One  thing  Grand  Master  Collins  does  is  to  take  up  the  subject  of 
the  election  of  the  grand  master,  which  he  says  has  become  nothing  more 
than  a  perfunctory  affair.  The  brethren  simply  vote  for  the  candidate  in 
line  and  give  little  thought  to  the  qualifications  of  those  that  are  balloted 


112  Appendix — Part  I 


for.  He  also  takes  a  whack  at  what  appears  to  be  a  system  of  political 
preferment  which  is  in  vogue  in  the  grand  lodge  and  seems  to  think  that 
gi-and  lodge  officers  should  be  chosen  solely  upon  their  merits  and  not  be- 
cause they  happen  to  hold  the  office  of  district  deputy  or  some  other  minor 
position. 

Some  very  excellent  things  are  said  concerning  the  qualifications  of 
candidates.  This  is  a  fruitful  topic  with  all  of  the  grand  masters,  but  with 
all  the  preaching  there  is  more  or  less  carelessness  in  this  respect. 

It  is  apparent  from  the  address  of  the  grand  master  that  the  blackball 
is  very  freely  used  throughout  the  State  during  the  year  for  he  reports 
numerous  complaints  where  candidates  have  been  rejected  as  a  result  of 
spite  work.  He  brings  up  the  question  of  the  large  amount  of  work  in 
lodges  and  suggests  that  so  many  candidates  are  being  initiated  that  the 
degrees  have  lost  much  of  their  charm  and  have  degenerated  into  purely 
monotonous  affairs.  He  thinks  some  remedy  should  be  devised  whereby  the 
burden  which  is  now  so  heavy  upon  lodge  officers  might  be  lightened. 

What  the  grand  master  really  would  like  to  see  is  group  work  but  he 
has  not  quite  enough  courage  to  come  out  boldly  for  something  which  the 
craft  must  ultimately  come  to.  The  subject  of  large  vs.  small  lodges  is 
discussed  and  suggestions  made  that  the  best  offices  of  the  fraternity  are 
more  manifest  in  the  small  lodges  than  in  the  large  lodges. 

One  recommendation  which  the  grand  master  makes  is  that  when  a 
committee  on  petitions  makes  an  unfavorable  report  that  it  should  not  be 
necessary  to  spread  the  ballot  but  that  the  candidate  should  be  declared 
rejected.  Brother  Collins  concluded  his  address  by  declaring  the  grand 
lodge  to  be  supreme  among  all  Masonic  bodies. 

The  Committee  on  Jurisprudence  makes  a  report  covering  two  pages 
but  the  subject  matter  is  largely  of  local  interest. 

The  Committee  on  Credentials  reports  the  presence  of  Frederick  I.  Dana, 
Illinois  representative.  One  thing  the  grand  lodge  did  was  to  levy  an 
assessment  of  $1.00  per  .capita  on  each  Master  Mason  in  the  State,  75 
percent  of  which  is  to  go  to  the  George  Washington  Memorial  Association 
and  the  other  25  percent  to  be  known  as  the  Masonic  Service  Association 
Fund. 

The  report  of  the  treasurer,  which  appears  near  the  close  of  the  pro- 
ceedings, shows  the  grand  lodge  to  be  in  an  excellent  condition  financially. 

The  election  and  installation  of  officers  closed  the  session.  There  is  no 
report  on  foreign  correspondence.

Masonic  Correspondence  113 


SOUTH  CAROLINA,  A.  F.  M. 

1921 

The  184th  annual  communication  convened  in  the  Masonic  Temple  in 
the  city  of  Charleston  on  the  23rd  day  of  February.  John  F.  Ficken, 
Grand  Representative  of  Illinois,  is  credited  with  having  been  present.  Two 
hundred  and  sixty-three  lodges  out  of  two  hundred  and  eighty  were  rep- 
resented at  this  session  of  the  gi-and  lodge. 

The  first  business  was  the  passing  of  a  resolution  appropriating  the 
sum  of  $50.00  for  the  purpose  of  employing  a  stenographer  to  take  the 
annual  proceedings.  The  grand  master,  Samuel  T.  Lcnliam,  presented  a 
report  which  is  quite  long  and  in  which  he  gave  in  a  very  complete 
manner  the  various  transactions  of  his  office  during  the  year.  He  refers 
to  the  general  condition  of  unrest  throughout  the  country  and  seems  to 
think  that  affluence  and  luxury  caused  more  immorality  than  poverty.  In 
commenting  upon  the  great  wave  of  crime  sweeping  over  the  country,  he 
was  disposed  to  charge  it  to  lack  of  employment. 

The  grand  master  goes  much  into  detail  on  the  subject  of  Necrology 
and  gives  the  name  of  every  Master  Mason  in  the  jurisdiction  who  died 
during  the  year. 

The  state  of  the  Craft  is  reported  to  be  most  satisfactory  and  the  gen- 
eral growth  in  membership  is  commented  upon  as  healthy  and  natural. 
The  grand  master  apparently  is  very  much  of  a  ritualist  for  he  lays  great 
stress  upon  the  importance  of  the  ritual  in  all  Masonic  systems. 

The  Masonic  Service  Association  is  commended  by  the  grand  master 
as  is  also  the  George  Washington  Memorial  Association.  A  communication 
from  the  Grand  Orient  of  France  is  reported,  wherein  they  advise  the 
grand  lodge  of  their  sincere  desire  to  erect  a  memorial  at  Verdun  to  the 
soldier  Masons  who  died  during  the  war. 

Six  dispensations  for  the  formation  of  new  lodges  were  issued  and 
four  corner  stones  laid  during  the  year. 

Fourteen  opinions  are  reported  by  the  grand  master.  None  of  tlicm 
are  unusual  and  relate  in  a  way  to  the  construction  of  local  statutes  and 
regulations.  Several  recommendations  are  made  by  the  grand  master  but 
they  are  purely  of  local  significance  and  concern  matters  in  which  the  Grand 
Lodge  of  South  Carolina  is  alone  interested. 

Concerning  the  subject  of  dispensations,  Grand  Master  Lcnham  says 
that  he  departed  from  the  precedent  set  by  his  predecessor  and  granted 
dispensations   to   confer  more   than  the   constitutional   number  of   degrees 


114  Appendix — Part  I 


at  one  communication.  His  limit  was  ten  Master's  degrees,  fifteen  Fellow 
Craft  degrees  and  five  Entered  Apprentice  degrees.  Appended  to  the  report 
of  the  grand  master  are  documents  from  the  several  district  deputies  in 
which  they  set  forth  the  various  acts  performed  by  them  in  the  discharge 
of  their  official  duties. 

•  The  grand  treasurer  gives  his  annual   receipts   as   $55,768.00  and  his 
disbursements  $47,238.00. 

The  report  of  the  grand  secretary  is  brief  and  covers  such  matters  as 
were  handled  by  him  during  the  year. 

The  Grand  Lodge  of  South  Carolina  evidently  maintains  a  cemetery, 
for  a  committee  asked  that  an  appropriation  for  maintaining  the  cemetery 
be  granted  at  this  session  of  the  grand  lodge. 

The  Grand  Lodge  of  South  Carolina  administers  its  relief  in  a  very 
generous  manner.  It  contributes  to  several  orphan  asylums  and  at  the 
same  time  assists  its  lodges  in  earing  for  their  dependents. 

A  motion  prevailed  that  the  sum  of  eighty-five  dollars  be  given  to 
the  Gideons  for  the  purchase  of  Bibles. 

The  grand  lodge  held  an  evening  session  at  which  suitable  memorials 
to  the  distinguished  dead  of  the  jurisdiction  were  read. 

The  Grand  Lodge  of  South  Carolina  proposes  to  remodel  its  temple, 
for  the  sum  of  $70,000.00  was  appropriated  for  that  purpose. 

The  Committee  on  Jurisprudence  did  not  agree  with  the  grand  master 
in  all  of  his  decisions  and  in  a  number  of  instances  made  alterations  or 
changes  to  suit  the  ideas  of  this  august  body. 

The  constitution  of  the  grand  lodge  was  amended  allowing  represen- 
tatives $5.00  per  day  for  each  day's  attendance  at  the  sessions  of  the 
grand  lodge. 

A  resolution  providing  for  the  purchase  of  a  suitable  portrait  of  Albert 
Mackey  received  the  approval  of  the  grand  lodge. 

The  Committee  on  Foreign  Correspondence  declined  to  recommend  the 
recognition  of  the  Grand  Lodges  of  Porto  Rico,  Mexico,  Costa  Eica,  and 
Colombia.  The  grand  lodge,  according  to  the  finance  committee,  collected 
$14L00  as  penalties  from  its  constituent  lodges.  There  is  nothing,  however, 
to  show  that  any  of  the  penalties  were  remitted  and  the  amounts  refunded. 
An  appropriation  was  made  for  the  Masonic  Service  Association  and  the 
salary  of  the  foreign  correspondent  fixed  at  $750.00.  The  election  and  in- 
stallation of  officers  was  the  last  act  of  the  session. 


Masonic  Correspondence  115 

J.  L.  Micliie  prepared  the  report  on  fraternal  correspondence.  He  de- 
votes two  and  a  quarter  pages  to  Illinois.  He  quotes  very  liberally  from 
the  annual  address  of  Daniel  G.  Fitzgerrell,  and  takes  a  generous  para- 
graph from  what  he  said  concerning  the  American  language  in  lodges. 

The  correspondence  of  this  writer  is  referred  to  in  very  kindly  terms 
although  Brother  Michie  does  not  like  what  was  said  about  the  past 
master 's  degree.  He  claims  that  this  degree  is  still  conferred  in  fifty 
English  speaking  grand  jurisdictions  and  thijiks  that  the  correspondence 
reporters  of  Illinois  have  in  times  past  shown  considerable  ignorance  and 
stupidity  upon  the  subject.

TENNESSEE,  F.  &  A.  M. 

1921 

The  annual  communication  was  held  in  the  city  of  Nashville,  in  Free- 
masons Hall,  opening  on  January  26.  The  giand  representative  of  the  grand 
lodge  of  Illinois,  J.  T.  Spaulding,  is  among  those  accorded  as  being  present. 
One  of  the  first  items  after  the  introduction  of  distinguished  visitors  was 
reading  of  the  law  relating  to  furnishing  information  of  the  proceedings  to 
newspapers. 

T.  W.  Peace,  grand  master,  then  presented  his  annual  address.  He 
pays  tributes  of  respect  to  the  dead  of  his  own  as  well  as  other  grand 
jurisdictions.  He  refers  to  the  Board  of  Custodians  as  being  most  important, 
and  recommends  that  the  board  be  increased  from  three  to  five  members. 
Reference  is  made  to  the  work  of  the  year  and  it  is  pointed  out  as  the 
greatest  record  the  grand  lodge  has  ever  made,  4,476  being  raised  to  the 
sublime  degree  of  Master  Mason.  The  grand  master  thinks  this  is  a  cause 
for  congratulation  provided  the  candidates  received  were  worthy  and  well 
qualified.  He  seems  to  think  that  the  fraternity  has  before  it  a  great 
opportunity  for  doing  educational  work,  in  taking  these  new  Masonic 
recruits  and  training  them  in  the  ways  and  meaning  of  the  society.  One 
hundred  ninety-five  requests  to  do  work  by  courtesy  were  sent  to  other  grand 
lodges  and  one  hundred  fifty-two  were  received  and  the  requests  com- 
plied with. 

The  question  of  the  Masonic  Home  is  brought  up  and  the  necessity  of 
additional  revenue  is  pointed  out.     Grand  master  states  that  a  number  of 


116  Appendix — Part  I 


lodges  were  amending  their  by-la-ws,  by  raising  the  cost  of  the  degrees.  He 
very  truly  says  that  every  lodge  should  have  revenue  sufficient  to  provide 
more  than  the  bare  necessities. 

Grand  Master  Peace  made  a  recommendation  that  the  mileage  paid 
representatives  be  increased  from  five  to  ten  cents. 

Twenty-six  decisions  are  reported.  A  large  number  of  them  relate 
to  questions  of  jurisdiction.  One  decision  is  quite  interesting,  it  reads 
as  follows: 

"Eooms  under  a  lodge  room  should  not  be  used  for  residential,  or 
other  purposes,  if,  in  order  to  secure  privacy  for  the  lodge,  it  would  be 
necessary  for  such  occupant  to  lease  said  rooms  while  the  lodge  is  in 
session.  Change  of  mind,  sickness,  or  other  cause  might  prevent  compliance 
with  agreement  so  to  vacate." 

It  is  apparent  that  do^^■n  in  Tennessee  they  do  not  believe  in  experi- 
menting in  the  matter  of  conferring  degrees,  for  the  grand  master  rules 
it  unwise  to  have  any  person  preside  and  confer  a  degree  unless  he  is  a 
master  or  past  master  of  a  lodge.  Grand  Master  Peace  expresses  himself 
very  forcibly  on  the  question  of  large  lodge  membership  and  seems  to  think 
that  the  lodges  of  State  should  be  limited  to  a  membership,  not  to  exceed 
two  hundred.  He  points  out  one  case  wherein  a  very  important  matter 
was  referred  to  him.  The  record  shows  that  the  matter  in  question  hap- 
pened in  a  lodge  of  eight  hundred  members,  when  only  thirty-three  were 
present.  The  grand  master  does  not  hesitate  to  say  that  the  formation  of 
new  lodges  should  be  encouraged. 

The  grand  master  made  one  very  generous  recommendation.  A  certain 
brother  took  out  a  life  insurance  policy  in  favor  of  the  grand  lodge  for 
the  sum  of  $1,000.00.  After  his  death  his  wife  appealed  to  the  grand  lodge 
for  the  money,  stating  that  it  was  needed  to  educate  the  daughter  of  the 
brother.     The  grand  master  recommended  that  the  money  be  returned. 

The  charter  of  one  lodge  was  arrested  and  the  usual  number  of  dis- 
pensations issued. 

Grand  Master  Peace  refused  to  issue  a  dispensation  permitting  a  lodge 
to  join  a  Knight  Templar  procession  on  Easter  Sunday.  He  also  declined  to 
issue  a  dispensation,  permitting  a  lodge  to  celebrate  St.  John 's  Day  in 
August,  rain  having  prevented  same  on  June  24. 

Four  corner-stones  were  laid  during  the  year,  but  the  grand  master 
refused  to  perform  the  service  for  a  tuberculosis  hospital  on  Sunday. 

The  Masonic  Service  Association  is  presented  to  the  grand  lodge  for 
such  action  as  it  mav  wish  to  take. 


Masonic  Correspondence  117 

The  grand  master  gets  after  the  grand  lodge  for  the  Avay  and  manner 
that  it  handles  its  funds.  At  the  last  annual  meeting  a  liberal  donation 
was  made  from  one  fund  to  another  and  before  the  year  was  out  the  grand 
lodge  found  itself  compelled  to  borrow  money,  until  the  annual  dues  com- 
menced to  come  in. 

The  question  of  observing  the  Masonic  birthday  of  George  Washington 
interested  the  grand  master  very  much  and  he  states  that  he  was  happy  to 
know  that  many  lodges  observed  this  occasion. 

Electioneering  in  the  grand  lodge  receives  the  condemnation  of  the 
grand  master  and  attention  is  called  to  a  letter  written  by  a  brother  urging 
his  advancement  in  the  Masonic  line. 

The  grand  master  closed  by  recommending  that  an  appropriate  pic- 
ture of  the  grand  secretary  be  made  and  preserved  among  the  priceless 
relics  of  the  grand  lodge. 

The  grand  treasurer  gives  his  annual  receipts  at  $135,500.00,  and  his 
expenditures  as  $130,110.00.  The  grand  secretary's  rejiort  goes  much  into 
detail  and  covers  various  acts  transacted  by  him  during  the  year. 

The  grand  lodge  has  one  rather  unusual  committee  called  Ways  and 
Means,  this  committee  made  twenty-three  recommendations,  many  of  them 
appropriating  money  for  various  purposes. 

Quite  a  long  report  comes  in  from  the  Masonic  Home.  It  appears  that 
it  cost  $62,532.00  to  operate  the  home  for  the  year  just  closed.  The  Gen- 
eral Masonic  Belief  Association  spent  $250.00  in  caring  for  needy  Master 
Masons.  A  motion  was  made  and  carried  that  the  grand  lodge  remain  in 
session  three  days.  It  is.  apparent  that  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Tennessee  does 
not  propose  to  have  its  business  hurried. 

The  grand  lodge  voted  to  continue  its  membership  in  the  Masonic  Ser- 
vice Association.  The  sum  of  $1,000.00  was  appropriated  for  the  benefit 
of  the  local  Committee  on  Education  and  the  committee  was  asked  to  co- 
ordinate its  efforts  with  similar  movements. 

Eleven  cases  were  considered  by  the  Committee  on  Appeals  and  Griev- 
ances. In  each  instance  the  name  of  the  defendant  is  published  in  the 
proceedings.  At  a  night  session  of  the  grand  lodge  held  on  the  first  day 
the  work  was  exemplified  by  the  Board  of  Custodians. 

On  the  second  day  this  board  makes  quite  an  extended  report  of  their 
visitations  to  lodges  and  what  they  accomplished.  One  hundred  fifty  lodges 
were  visited  and  instructed  by  the  lecturers  and  thirty-nine  by  the  custodians. 


118  Appendix — Part  I 


The  following  resolution  was  presented  and  adopted :  ' '  That  the  Board 
of  Custodians  of  the  Work  be  and  arc  hereby  instructed  to  take  up  and 
consider  the  ritual  of  the  second  section  of  the  third  degree,  and  agree 
among  themselves  on  a  ritual  and  make  their  recommendation  to  this  or 
to  the  next  communication  of  the  M.W.  grand  lodge.  That  they  shall 
especially  consider  and  determine  what  password  and  sign  shall  be  given; 
on  the  craft  work  and  throne  speeches  of  the  master,  and  shall  cause  to  be 
printed  for  distribution  among  the  lodges  such  parts  of  these  various 
speeches  as  is  permissible  to  be  printed,  as  adopted  by  the  M.W.  grand 
lodge." 

The  Committee  on  Jurisprudence  make  quite  a  long  report  in  which 
they  endorse  practically  everything  that  the  grand  master  did.  This  com- 
mittee goes  much  into  detail  showing  that  they  believe  in  having  tlie  grand 
lodge  know  the  way  and  manner  that  they  arrive  at  their  deductions. 

A  resolution  declining  to  recognize  the  grand  bodies  of  France  was 
presented  and  adopted. 

The  George  Washington  Memorial  Association  is  commended  and  the 
information  given  that  to  date  $1,100.00  had  been  raised  for  that  work. 

A  long  report  is  made  concerning  the  Widows  and  Orphans  Home  which 
deals  with  the  matter  of  finances  and  points  out  what  will  be  necessary 
to  maintain  that  institution  in  a  proper  manner.  The  election  and  installa- 
tion of  oflicers  together  with  the  presentation  of  the  signet  ring  closed 
this  most  interesting  session. 

The  report  on  correspondence  is  prepared  by  H.  A.  Chambers.  It  is 
quite  brief.  He  quotes  all  that  Grand  Master  Fitzgerrell  said  on  the  ques- 
tion of  physical  qualification  as  well  as  his  paragraph  headed  "A  Per- 
nicious Practice."  He  thinks  the  report  of  the  special  committee  on  the 
Masonic  Service  Association  is  quite  interesting.  The  correspondence  re- 
port of  this  writer  is  briefly  mentioned  and  what  was  said  concerning  the 
Masonic  Service  Association  is  quoted  in  full.

Masonic  Correspondence  119 


TEXAS,  A.  F.  &  A.  M. 

1920 

The  eighty-fifth  annual  communication  was  held  in  the  Masonic  Temple 
in  the  city  of  Waco,  comr;iencing  Tuesday,  December  7,  1920.  When  the 
grand  lodge  opened,  there  was  a  vacant  chair  on  the  dais,  properly  draped 
with  a  beautiful  flora'  emblem,  as  a  memorial  to  Past  Grand  Master  Walter 
Acker,  Superintendent  of  the  Orphans'  Home,  who  died  the  preceding 
April.  The  report  of  the  Committee  on  Credentials  does  not  show  the  rep- 
resentative of  Illinois  to  have  been  present.  A  number  of  distinguished 
visitors  were  in  attendance  at  the  session  of  the  grand  lodge,  all  of  whom 
were  formally  presented  and  accorded  the  grand  honors.  Sixty  Master 
Masons  who  had  been  in  good  standing  in  their  lodges  for  forty  years  or 
more,  were  presented  and  duly  honored  by  the  grand  lodge. 

The  first  business  of  importance  was  the  annual  address  of  the  grand 
master,  George  F.  Morgan.  It  required  seventy  pages  to  transmit  his  mes- 
sage to  his  brothers.  He  refers  to  his  duties  as  multitudinous  and  states 
that  he  discharged  them  to  the  very  best  of  his  ability.  He  pays  elaborate 
tributes  of  respect  to  the  dead  of  his  own  and  other  grand  jurisdictions. 

The  foreign  relations  with  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Texas  have  been  exceed- 
ingly pleasant  during  the  year,  nothing  having  transpired  to  occasion  any 
discord.  The  grand  master  refers  to  the  large  number  of  appeals  that  have 
been  sent  to  the  lodges  of  his  jurisdiction  from  various  bureaus  and 
charitable  enterprises,  and  states  that  he  instructed  the  lodges  to  make  no 
contributions  to  any  concern  unless  the  approval  of  the  grand  lodge  was 
granted. 

The  Grand  Lodge  of  Texas  appears  to  have  been  in  a  quandary  as  to 
just  what  its  relations  were  with  the  York  Grand  Lodge  of  Mexico  and 
considerable  corrcsiaondonce  upon  this  subject  is  presented  for  consideration. 
The  observance  of  the  Masonic  birthday  of  George  Washington  is  mentioned 
and  the  lodges  were  invited  to  observe  this  anniversary.  Both  the  George 
Washington  Memorial  Association  and  the  Masonic  Service  Association  of 
the  United  States  received  favorable  mention. 

In  the  State  of  Texas  there  are  one  hundred  fifteen  district  deputies 
representing  the  nine  hundred  active  lodges.  Reference  is  made  to  the 
faithful  and  hearty  co-operation  of  these  officials  and  the  splendid  service 
which  they  have  rendered  the  craft  during  the  year.  Four  lodges  had  their 
charters  returned  to  them,  the  same  having  been  arrested  for  infractions  of 
Masonic  laws.  One  case  of  discipline  is  reported,  a  Canadian  Mason  being 
the  offender.    Ten  lodges  were  chartered  during  the  year  and  dispensations 


120  Appendix — Part  I 


issued  for  the  formation  of  five  new  lodges.  Six  dispensations  for  new 
lodges  were  refused  because  the  proposed  lodges  were  less  than  ten  miles 
distant  from  the  next  nearest  lodge.  Nine  lodges  received  dispensations  to 
publicly  install  officers  and  eighteen  lodges  received  dispensations  to  lay 
corner-stones.  Most  of  these  ceremonials  pertain  to  court  houses,  churches 
and  school  buildings,  but  few  dispensations  were  issued  to  confer  degrees 
out  of  time  and  one  dispensation  was  issued  to  permit  the  examination  of 
a  candidate  at  a  special  meeting. 

The  Grand  Lodge  of  Texas  exercises  complete  control  over  the  halls  and 
meeting  places  of  its  constituent  lodges  for  the  number  of  permits  granted 
to  purchase  and  convoy  realty  is  a  long  one. 

Some  of  the  lodges  of  the  State  of  Texas  must  have  had  the  moving 
fever  for  an  extended  list  is  given  wherein  permission  was  granted  lodges 
to  move  from  one  location  to  another.  During  the  year  ten  trial  Masters 
were  appointed  to  conduct  Masonic  trials  in  various  Masonic  lodges.  A  full 
and  detailed  report  is  given  of  each  case.  During  the  year  permission  was 
granted  the  Mystic  Shrine  to  use  the  grand  lodge  building  to  hold  a  meeting 
for  business  purposes,  it  being  expressly  understood  that  no  degrees  were 
to  be  exemplified.  Twelve  cases  of  invasion  of  jurisdiction  are  reported  in 
much  detail,  all  of  which  were  referred  to  the  grand  lodge  for  final  approval. 

Grand  Master  Morgan  made  thirty  decisions.  One  was  to  the  effect 
that  an  objection  sent  by  telegraph  was  not  only  ineffective  but  subjected 
the  sender  of  the  telegram  to  Masonic  discipline.  Another  decision  was 
that  an  illegitimate  was  not  ineligible  to  receive  the  degrees  of  Masonry. 
Grand  master  held  that  it  was  wholly  discretionary  on  the  part  of  the  master 
as  to  whether  a  non-affiliated  Master  Mason  might  appear  at  a  Masonic 
funeral  procession.  The  grand  master  held  that  the  use  of  the  Masonic 
emblem  and  inscription  on  the  corner-stone  of  a  church  edifice  was  pro- 
hibited. He  also  held  that  it  was  permissible  for  a  lodge  to  conduct  degree 
work  in  two  separate  rooms  at  the  same  time,  providing  the  proper  officers 
were  in  charge  of  each  meeting  and  the  degrees  being  conferred  were  the 
same.  The  grand  master  takes  a  rap  at  a  side  degree  called  the  Tall  Cedars 
of  Lebanon,  and  states  that  such  a  degree  is  not  recognized  in  the  State 
of  Texas  and  could  not  be  conferred  in  any  Masonic  lodge  room. 

Eefcrcnce  is  made  to  the  chain  prayer  proposition  which  it  seems  is 
so  difficult  to  get  stopped  at  the  present  time.  All  matters  relating  to  the 
conferring  of  degrees  by  courtesy  are  handled  through  the  grand  secretary 's 
office,  that  official  being  made  responsible  for  the  proper  conducting  of  such 
correspondence.  No  dispensations  were  issued  for  the  initiation  of  candi- 
dates who  were  maimed.  The  whole  question  was  left  to  the  grand  lodge  to 
decide  what  it  might  want  to  do  in  the  premises.

The  Masonic  Home  ami  school  is  commoiulcd  in  the  very  highest  terms 
and  the  thanks  of  the  grand  master  rendered  to  the  craft  of  the  State  for 
the  very  generous  support  which  has  been  accorded  him  during  his  incum- 
bency of  office. 

Tlie  grand  treasurer  reports  receipts  of  $94,500.00  and  expenditures  of 
$82,392.00.  The  report  of  the  grand  secretary  is  quite  an  extended  docu- 
ment and  covers  many  matters  which  passed  through  his  hands  during  the 
year.  He  shows  that  12,052  were  raised  to  the  sublime  degree  of  Master 
Mason  and  gives  the  present  membership  as  94,218.  The  lodges  of  Texas 
conferred  five  hundred  forty-three  degrees  by  courtesy  for  other  jurisdic- 
tions and  the  compliment  was  returned  in  four  hundred  eighty-nine  cases. 

The  Grand  Lodge  of  Texas  apparently  believes  in  ample  devotion,  as 
the  grand  chaplain  offered  prayer  at  both  the  opening  and  closing  of  each 
session.  The  report  of  the  Committee  on  Printing  shows  that  the  contract 
for  printing  the  x^roceedings  was  awarded  at  a  cost  of  $4.50  per  page. 

An  extended  report  is  made  by  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the  Masonic 
Orphans'  Home  and  one  of  the  urgent  needs  which  is  set  forth,  is  that  of  a 
hospital.  Both  the  superintendent  of  the  Masonic  Home  as  well  as  the 
board  of  directors  came  in  for  the  hearty  commendation  of  the  grand 
lodge.  A  vote  of  thanks  was  tendered  them  for  the  splendid  services  which 
they  had  rendered.  The  grand  lodge  maintained  a  committee  on  Masonic 
History  and  Eesearch  and  quite  a  long  report  is  made  by  them  of  their 
activities  and  the  work  which  they  have  accomplished.  It  is  apparent  from 
the  proceedings  that  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Texas  is  revising  its  constitution 
and  by-laws,  for  a  preliminary  report  from  a  committee,  appointed  for  that 
purpose,  appears  in  the  proceedings. 

The  Jurisprudence  Committee  was  extremely  generous  with  the  grand 
master  and  approved  most  of  his  acts.  The  grand  lodge  operates  under 
the  budget  system  and  the  Finance  Committee  makes  an  appropriation  for 
each  department. 

It  is  noticed  that  the  salary  of  the  grand  secretary  is  fixed  at  $4,800.00. 
Last  year  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Illinois  attempted  to  raise  the  salary  of  its 
grand  Secretary  to  $4,000.00  and  the  proposition  met  with  an  avalanche 
of  nays. 

The  proposition  to  remodel  the  present  grand  lodge  building  was 
brought  before  the  grand  lodge,  and  the  committee  to  which  it  was  re- 
ferred made  a  report  expressing  the  idea  that  the  expense  of  remodeling 
would  be  excessive  and  when  completed  the  building  would  still  be  inade- 
quate for  the  needs  of  the  grand  lodge.  They  recommended  the  sale  of  the 
building  and  the  construction  of  a  new  one.    A  motion  was  made  that  the 


122  Appendix — Part  I 


United  States  flag  be  hung  in  the  East  of  the  grand  lodge  at  each  session 
and  displayed  in  every  lodge  room  tliroughout  the  jurisdiction.  The  motion 
prevailed. 

Just  before  the  close  of  the  grand  lodge  a  resolution  on  dancing  was 
adopted.  E«solution  was  as  follows:  "That  the  subordinate  lodges  of 
Texas  be,  and  are,  hereby  prohibited  to  advertise,  conduct  or  hold  balls, 
dances,  fairs,  concerts,  or  any  other  public  assembly,  by,  through,  or  under 
the  auspices  of  the  said  subordinate  lodges,  either  directly  or  indirectly." 

The  election  and  installation  of  officers  closed  a  busy  session.  It  is 
apparent  that  it  does  not  cost  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Texas  very  much  to 
hold  its  annual  meeting  for  the  amount  for  mileage  and  per  diem  paid 
delegates  only  amounted  to  $400.0.0,  while  committees  and  helpers  drew 
$893.15. 

The  report  on  foreign  correspondence  is  prepared  by  S.  M.  Bradley, 
past  grand  master.  He  gives  Illinois  three  pages  of  courteous  notice, 
quoting  very  liberally  from  Daniel  G.  Fitzgerrell.  He  seems  to  find  no 
fault  with  any  of  our  transactions. 

The  oration  of  Edward  J.  Brundage  received  favorable  comment  and 
a  number  of  excerpts  are  taken  therefrom.  The  correspondence  report  of 
this  writer  is  briefly  mentioned  and  what  was  said  upon  the  subject  of 
physical  qualifications  was  not  well  received.  It  is  quite  apparent  that 
Brother  Bradley  is  a  stand-patter  who  belongs  to  the  old  school  of  Masons 
who  still  believe  that  King  Solomon  was  a  grand-daddy  of  the  Masonic 
Institution.

UTAH,  F.  &  A.  M. 

1921 


The  fiftieth  annual  communication  opened  in  the  Masonic  Temple  in 
Salt  Lake  City  on  the  18th  of  January.  The  Committee  on  Credentials 
credit  P.  L.  Williams,  grand  representative  of  Illinois,  with  being  present. 
It  did  not  take  the  grand  lodge  very  long  to  get  down  to  actual  business 
and  the  first  item  of  interest  is  the  report  of  the  grand  master,  James  L. 
Cattron.  His  report  is  quite  brief,  covering  but  twelve  pages.  Three  dis- 
pensations were  issued  for  the  formation  of  new  lodges,  two  Masonic  Halls 
were  dedicated  and  a  large  number  of  lodges  officially  visited  by  the  grand 


Masonic  Correspondence  123 

master.     He  states  that  he  had  many  questions  referred  to  him  during  the 
year  but  in  most  instances  found  it  unnecessary  to  render  any  decisions. 

He  advises  that  the  Committee  on  Masonic  Education  and  Instruction 
performed  its  duty  efficiently  and  with  dispatch  and  calls  the  committee 
one  of  the  most  important  in  the  jurisdiction.  The  Grand  Lodge  of  Utah 
requires  that  all  amendments  to  by-laws  be  submitted  to  the  grand  lodge 
for  approval.  The  list,  however,  is  not  a  long  one.  One  by-law  to  exempt 
members  from  the  payment  of  dues  who  are  seventy  years  of  age  and  have 
held  continuous  mcmbcrs-hip  for  twenty-five  years,  was  disapproved. 

Apparently  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Utah  does  not  look  with  favor  upon 
dispensations  to  waive  the  law  for  the  list  submitted  by  the  grand  master 
is  a  very  short  one.  Among  the  charitable  contributions  reported  was 
$120.00  for  the  relief  of  a  past  grand  master  and  $50.00  for  the  relief  of 
the  widow  of  a  past  grand  master. 

The  George  Washington  Memorial  Association  is  endorsed  and  a  long 
report  made  upon  the  Masonic  Service  Association.  This  the  grand  master 
finds  favor  with  and  recommends  it  to  the  favorable  consideration  of  his 
grand  lodge.  The  work  of  revising  the  funeral  ritual  which  has  been  in 
the  hands  of  a  committee,  came  up  for  special  consideration  and  the  grand 
master  set  apart  a  special  hour  for  the  exemplification  of  this  revision. 

The  charter  of  one  lodge  was  arrested  for  infraction  of  Masonic  rules 
and  the  condition  of  the  craft  reported  to  be  the  most  prosperous  and  har- 
monious in  its  history.  The  grand  master  called  attention  to  the  fact  that 
on  January  16,  1922,  the  grand  lodge  would  celebrate  its  .50th  anniversary 
and  recommended  that  a  committee  be  appointed  to  prepare  a  suitable 
program. 

The  deputy  grand  master  and  grand  wardens  made  reports  to  the 
grand  lodge  dealing  principally  with  official  visits  to  lodges  made  by  them. 

The  grand  treasurer  gives  his  receipts  as  $6,685  and  his  disbursements 
as  $5,522.00.  The  report  of  the  grand  secretary  is  quite  a  long  one  and 
deals  principally  with  matters  which  passed  through  his  hands  as  well  as 
some  statistics.     He  gives  the  net  gain  for  the  year  in  membership  at  669. 

The  Committee  on  Masonic  Education  and  Research  report  the  issuance 
of  various  bulletins  and  other  i)rinted  matter  which  they  felt  to  be  helpful 
to  those  Masons  who  were  looking  for  Masonic  light  and  information. 

The  revision  of  funeral  ceremonies  which  was  exemplified  by  the  Board 
of  Custodians  was  formally  adopted  by  the  grand  lodge. 

The  Committee  on  Jurisprudence  had  very  little  to  report,  and  showed 
the  good  taste  to  omit  names  of  defendants  in  such  cases  as  were  reviewed 


124  Appendix — Part  I 

]}}■  them.  Incident  to  the  meeting  of  the  grand  lodge,  the  custodians  held 
a  school  of  instruction  on  the  evening  of  the  first  day.  The  Committee  on 
Lodges  make  an  extended  report  showing  that  they  went  very  carefully  into 
the  annual  returns  and  gleaned  such  facts  as  they  could  concerning  the 
general  condition  of  lodges.  They  make  some  recommendations  for  the 
betterment  and  the  general  welfare  of  the  jurisdiction.  A  resolution  from 
the  Jurisprudence  Committee,  prohibiting  smoking  in  the  lodge  rooms  during 
regular  and  special  meetings  at  all  times,  was  presented  and  adopted  by  the 
grand  lodge. 

A  resolution  was  adopted  to  the  effect  that  an  adverse  report  by  the 
Committee  on  Investigation  or  any  member  thereof,  shall  constitute  a  re- 
jection of  the  petition,  and  no  ballot  shall  be  taken  thereon.  A  resolution 
which  had  been  offered,  prohibiting  constituent  lodges  from  conferring  more 
than  seventy-five  degrees  in  one  year  was  disapproved  by  the  grand  lodge. 

The  Committee  on  Finance  fixed  the  salary  of  the  grand  correspondent 
at  $600.00  and  prepared  a  budget  setting  apart  suitable  appropriations  for 
the  various  departments  of  the  grand  lodge.  The  election  and  installation 
of  ofiicers  and  presentation  of  the  signet  ring  closed  the  session. 

The  report  on  foreign  correspondence  is  prepared  by  Samuel  H.  Good- 
win who  considers  Illinois  in  two  and  one-fourth  pages  of  very  interesting 
review. 

Concerning  the  grand  chaplain's  prayer,  he  offers  the  following  para- 
graph :  ' '  The  prayer  of  the  grand  chaplain  printed  in  full  contains  one 
or  two  expressions  which  set  this  scribe  to  thinking.  Of  course,  we  are  out 
here  in  the  sage  brush  and  may  have  fallen  out  of  step  in  the  procession, 
theological.  And  we  are  willing  to  admit  that  we  are  just  a  plain,  old 
fashioned  theist  in  our  conception  of  Deity.  The  grand  chaplain  invoked 
the  blessing  of  the  'All  pervading  spirit  whose  presence  is  in  the  beauty 
of  the  dawn  and  the  purple  glory  of  the  twilight.'  And  again:  'But 
oh  Thou  Infinite  Spirit  of  the  dawn  and  the  twilight.'  We  disclaim  any 
thought  of  being  hypercritical  or  irreverent,  but,  frankly,  we  are  at  a  loss 
to  know  whom  or  what  is  addressed."  *  *  *  "In  this  connection  we 
are  reminded  that  Illinois  refused  to  recognize  our  French  brothers  because 
of  their  alleged  attitude  toward  Deity  and  their  disinclination  to  fasten 
upon  their  membership  a  personal  creed  of  a  particular  type — the  scope  of 
which  many  American  Masons  insist  upon  enlarging.  But  we  very  much 
doubt  if  there  is  a  member  of  any  lodge  in  France,  whatever  his  intellectual 
or  philosophical  difficulties  might  be,  who  could  not  join  the  brethren  of 
Illinois  in  the  worship  of  the  'Infinite  Spirit  of  the  dawn  and  the  twilight.'  " 

The  annual  address  of  Grand  Master  Fitzgerrell  is  tersely  analyzed. 
What  is  said  concerning  the  George  Washington  Memorial  Association  re- 


Masonic  Correspondence  125 

ceived  the  following  comment:  "The  grand  master  favored  the  George 
Washington  Memorial  Association  and  expressed  himself  on  '  The  magnitude 
and  importance  of  this  great  movement  to  establish  a  Masonic  center  at  the 
capital.'  Talk  about  a  'wedge  of  a  general  grand  lodge.'  Wow!  Some 
timid,  distrustful  brothers  have  seen  just  this  in  the  Memorial  Association." 
He  seems  to  think  Illinois  can  live  very  comfortably  and  happily  without 
the  Masonic  Service  Association, 

Concerning  the  correspondence  report,  the  following  comment  is  made : 
' '  The  correspondence  report  is  again  by  P.G.M,  Darrah.  A  chief  cause 
for  regret  is  that  this  part  of  the  Illinois  proceedings  is  shrinking  in  size 
year  by  year.  As  told  in  figures,  the  tale  is  as  follows :  Three  reports 
prepared,  the  first  one  of  325  pages,  the  second  275  pages,  and  the  third 
127  pages.  Thrift  and  economy  are  good  things,  but  speaking  generally, 
let  economy  strike  the  waist-line  first,  not  above  the  shoulders.  We  are 
glad  to  see  that  our  brother  recognizes  the  fact  that  Masonic  effort  should 
be  co-ordinated,  and  that  it  is  desirable  for  grand  lodges  to  pull  together 
so  that  the  energy  and  power  of  the  craft  may  be  directed  to  the  accomp- 
lishment of  ends  worthy  of  the  fraternity.  Utah  for  1920  is  given  careful 
attention  and  all  of  general  interest  in  our  proceedings  noted.  We  sincerely 
hope  that  this  brother  may  be  given  the  space  in  the  proceedings  of  Illinois 
which  his  talents  deserve  so  that  Masonry  in  and  out  of  his  own  jurisdiction 
may  profit  more  largely  by  his  clear  insight,  broad  outlook  and  ability  of 
expression. ' '

VIRGINIA,  A.  F.  &  A.  M. 

1921 

The  communication  under  review  is  the  143rd  and  was  held  in  the 
Masonic  Temple  in  the  city  of  Eichmond  on  Tuesday,  February  8,  1921. 
The  opening  ceremonies  wore  very  brief  and  the  grand  master  immediately 
read  his  annual  address.  It  is  a  document  of  thirty-seven  pages  in  which 
the  various  acts  performed  by  him  are  set  forth  in  a  businesslike  manner. 
Masonry  in  the  grand  jurisdiction  is  reported  to  be  in  a  highly  fiourishing 
condition  and  the  grand  master  speaks  of  the  wonderful  work  being  done 
by  the  grand  lecturer.  Comment  is  made  on  the  fact  that  candidates  are 
not  receiving  proper  instruction,  due  to  the  large  amount  of  work  which 
the  lodges  are  doing.     He  believes  in  the  social  side  of  the  f rateruitj-  and 


126  Appendix — Part  I 


thinks  that  the  officers  and  menil)Cis  of  the  lodge  ought  to  meet  more  often 
in  social  relationship. 

Quite  a  number  of  visitations  to  lodges  were  reported  by  Brother  Gait, 
he  having  made  fourteen  visits  in  sixteen  days. 

The  George  Washington  Masonic  Memorial  Association  receives  a  most 
hearty  boost  and  the  Masons  of  Virginia  urged  to  make  their  contribution 
100  percent.  Quite  a  number  of  dispensations  were  issued,  all  of  them 
appearing  to  be  for  legitimate  reasons.  The  grand  master,  however,  refused 
to  issue  a  special  dispensation  permitting  a  lodge  to  confer  all  three  degrees 
without  examination.  Seven  dispensations  for  the  formation  of  new  lodges 
were  issued  and  thirty  so-called  decisions  rendered. 

One  decision  was  to  the  effect  that  a  petitioner  does  not  have  to  declare 
his  intent  of  residing  in  a  place  any  length  of  time  in  order  to  establish 
a  residence.  If  he  has  lived  there  for  a  year  and  claims  no  other  place  as 
residence  that  constitutes  his  Masonic  abode.  Another  decision  rendered  was 
that  the  master  of  a  lodge  can  dispense  with  the  reading  of  the  minutes 
should  he  deem  such  action  wise.  All  the  other  decisions  rendered  by  the 
grand  master  are  merely  local  constructions  of  existing  laws. 

Nineteen  lodges  received  permission  to  lay  corner-stones  during  the  year. 
It  is  apparent  that  the  grand  lodge  does  not  care  to  be  burdened  with  cere- 
monies of  this  kind  and  is  perfectly  willing  that  its  constituent  lodges  shall 
assume  the  responsibility  and  pay  the  expense. 

One  lodge  surrendered  its  charter  during  the  year  while  another  lost 
its  charter  by  fire.  The  grand  master  recommends  that  November  4  be  com- 
memorated as  a  Masonic  anniversary,  thereby  honoring  the  Masonic  birth- 
da  j'  of  George  Washington. 

Attention  is  called  to  the  cost  of  the  proceedings,  for  1920,  the  grand 
lodge  having  paid  $6.00  per  page  for  its  printed  book.  The  grand  master 
thinks  that  the  custom  of  publishing  the  names  of  members  of  lodges  which 
took  302  pages,  is  not  only  unnecessary  but  decidedly  expensive. 

The  sum  of  $240.00  was  authorized  to  be  paid  to  the  Near  East  Eelief 
Fund  to  feed  two  Armenian  orphans. 

The  grand  master  does  not  hesitate  to  indicate  wherein  the  by-laws  of 
his  grand  lodge  should  be  amended  for  he  makes  a  large  number  of  sug- 
gestions proposing  changes. 

In  his  address  the  grand  master  makes  a  reference  to  Henry  Clay, 
stating  that  when  the  anti-Masonic  party  invited  that  individual  to  become 
a  candidate  for  president  he  originated  the  declaration,  ' '  I  had  rather  be 
right  than  president."     The  facts  are  that  when  Henry  Clay  was  invited 


Masonic  Correspondence  127 

to  run  for  president  on  the  anti-Masonic  ticket  he  told  the  committee  that 
waited  upon  him  that  in  his  younger  days  he  had  been  made  a  Mason  and 
had  taken  some  interest  in  the  fraternity,  but  that  in  his  later  years  he  had 
been  entirely  inactive  and  paid  little  or  no  attention  to  the  society.  The 
facts  are  that  Henry  Clay  practically  renounced  the  Masonic  fraternity, 
an  act  which  does  not  stand  to  his  credit,  at  least  so  far  as  Freemasonry 
is  concerned. 

The  grand  treasurer  gives  his  total  receipts  at  $132,149.00  and  his  dis- 
bursements as  $97,500.00.  The  Masonic  Temple  in  Eichmond  is  valued  at 
$279,710.00  on  which  there  is  a  mortgage  of  $60,000.00. 

The  report  of  the  grand  secretary  is  extremely  brief  and  is  purely 
financial.  The  board  of  governors  of  the  Masonic  Home  of  Virginia  called 
attention  to  the  necessity  of  an  addition  on  the  present  building  for  the 
accommodation  of  its  constantly  increasing  number  of  children  in  the  Home. 
It  was  estimated  that  the  addition  would  cost  $30,000.00,  and  the  grand 
lodge  ordered  a  tax  of  $1.0.0  per  capita  levied  in  order  to  meet  the  expense 
of  this  enterprise. 

The  Committee  on  Grand  Master's  Address  disapproved  of  a  number  of 
decisions  that  the  grand  master  had  presented.  The  claims  of  the  com- 
mittee were  that  the  decisions  objected  to  were  not  in  accordance  with  the 
latest  Masonic  Code. 

The  following  rather  peculiar  amendment  to  the  law  was  adopted: 
"The  grand  master,  unless  he  decline,  shall  always  be  in  nomination 
for  re-election,  and  the  deputy  grand  master  shall  always  be  in  nomination 
for  election  as  grand  master,  and  any  member  may  make   an  additional 
nomination. ' ' 

The  reports  of  the  district  deputy  grand  masters  are  more  or  less  inter- 
esting, some  of  them  arc  brief  in  the  extreme,  while  others  go  into  detail, 
concerning  the  condition  of  affairs  in  their  respective  bailiwicks. 

During  the  grand  lodge  session  the  Committee  on  Work  held  frequent 
sessions  at  which  the  several  degrees  were  exemplified  for  the  benefit  of 
those  brethren  who  were  seeking  further  light. 

The  election  and  installation  of  officers  together  with  the  presentation 
of  the  jewel  to  the  retiring  grand  master  closed  the  session. 

The  report  on  foreign  correspondence  is  prepared  by  Joseph  Eggleston. 
He  reviews  Illinois  for  1919,  also  for  1920.  Brother  Eggleston  takes  very 
liberal  paragraphs  from  the  addresses  of  Grand  Master  Daniel  G.  Fitzgerrell 
and  quotes  in  full  the  report  made  to  the  grand  lodge  in  1920  on  the  Ma- 
sonic Service  Association.    Brother  Eggleston  uses  the  scissors  quite  liberally.

WASHINGTON,  F.  &  A.  M. 

1920 

The  proecodiiigs  under  consideration  cover  the  sixty-third  annual  com- 
munication which  convened  in  the  city  of  Taeoma  on  Tuesday,  June  8,  1920. 

The  first  business  of  the  session  after  opening  was  the  reception  of 
grand  representatives  and  according  to  them  the  grand  honors  of  Masonry. 
The  ambassador  from  Illinois  does  not  appear  to  have  been  present.  All  the 
lodges  in  the  jurisdiction  were  represented  with  the  exception  of  ten.  A 
short  address  of  welcome  was  delivered  on  behalf  of  the  Masons  of  Taeoma 
and  the  same  was  acknowledged  by  the  junior  grand  warden  of  the  grand 
lodge.  Then  followed  the  annual  address  of  the  grand  master,  Thomas  E. 
Skaggs. 

He  refers  to  the  past  year  as  one  of  unprecedented  prosperity.  All  the 
lodges  of  the  state  shared  in  the  good  things  which  come  to  the  craft. 

Two  lodges  were  constituted  and  five  corner-stones  laid.  None  of  them 
were  for  Masonic  edifices,  one  being  the  corner-stone  of  an  insurance  build- 
ing. Three  Masonic  Temples  were  dedicated  during  the  year  and  six  dis- 
pensations issued  for  the  formation  of  new  lodges.  All  dispensations 
granted  for  waiving  existing  regulations  were  reported  in  full.  None  of 
them  appear  to  have  been  for  unusual  causes.  The  grand  master  did  refuse 
to  grant  a  dispensation  to  a  lodge  to  hold  a  special  election  to  fill  a  vacancy 
caused  by  the  death  of  the  senior  warden.  His  reasons  were  that  the  lodge 
still  had  its  master  and  junior  warden  and  the  special  election  appeared  un- 
necessary. 

The  by-laws  of  a  large  number  of  lodges  were  submitted  to  the  grand 
master  and  approved  by  him  and  several  lodges  were  granted  permission  to 
change  their  places  of  meeting. 

The  gi'and  master  states  he  received  numerous  requests  for  rulings  upon 
matters  of  law  but  that  he  refrained  from  making  decisions  vipon  the  ground 
tliat  existing  regulations  were  plain  enough  to  cover  all  conditions. 

The  Masonic  Home  is  reported  to  be  in  a  most  satisfactory  condition. 
The  members  received  splendid  care  on  the  part  of  the  superintendent  and 
his  wife. 

Grand  Master  Skaggs  believes  in  Masonic  education  and  states  that 
he  has  a  plan  in  this  direction  which  he  expects  to  present  to  the  grand 
lodge  sometime  during  the  session. 


Masonic  Correspondence  129 

The  George  Washington  Memorial  Association  is  strongly  commended 
and  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Washington  urged  to  raise  its  per  capita  at  an 
early  date. 

Quite  a  long  report  is  made  on  the  Masonic  Service  Association.  After 
going  into  much  detail  the  grand  master  recommends  to  the  grand  lodge 
that  it  withdraw  from  further  membership  in  this  society.  The  principal 
reason  assigned  is  that  the  association  appears  to  have  departed  from  its 
original  scope  and  plan. 

In  the  State  of  Washington  the  grand  lecturers  are  under  charge  of  the 
grand  master  and  work  under  his  direction.  The  grand  master  states  that 
these  officials  found  plenty  to  do  during  the  year. 

The  grand  treasurer  in  his  report,  states  that  he  received  from  the 
grand  secretary  the  sum  of  $45,000.00  and  disbursed  $47,000.00  He  also 
makes  reports  of  numerous  si^eeial  funds  which  are  in  his  hands. 

The  grand  secretary  makes  an  extended  resume  of  the  affairs  of  his 
office.  He  gives  the  total  number  raised  to  the  sublime  degree  of  Master 
Mason  to  be  3,194  and  states  that  the  present  number  of  Master  Masons 
on  the  roll  is  28,617. 

The  Finance  Committee  gives  the  total  assets  of  the  Grand  Lodge  of 
Washington  at  $211,725.00.  A  resolution  was  presented  levying  a  tax  of 
25  cents  for  a  period  of  four  years  for  the  benefit  of  the  George  Washington 
Memorial  Association. 

Quite  a  report  was  made  by  the  Committee  on  Correspondence  con- 
cerning cipher  rituals  which  it  is  claimed  are  being  indiscriminately  used. 
This  committee  likewise  goes  on  record  as  being  opposed  to  large  lodges 
and  thinks  that  the  interest  of  the  fraternity  are  best  subserved  in  the 
smaller  organization.  This  committee  also  wrestled  with  the  problem  of 
outside  organizations.  They  seem  to  think  that  something  should  be  done  to 
prevent  newly  raised  Master  Masons  from  being  solicited  to  take  the  so- 
called  higher  degrees. 

A  rather  unusual  event  in  the  proceedings  of  the  grand  lodge  was 
the  receipt  of  greetings  and  salutations  from  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Odd 
Fellows. 

An  interesting  item  appears  in  the  proceedings  to  the  effect  that  the 
grand  secretary  announced  that  at  7:30  o'clock  in  the  evening  the  Secrets 
of  the  Chair  (whatever  they  may  be)  would  be  imparted  by  courtesy  of 
the  Pierce  County  Past  Masters  Association  to  master  and  past  master  who 
had  not  received  the  same. 


130  Appendix—Part  I 


The  Masonic  Ecseareh  and  Educational  Committee  submitted  a  report 
which  shows  that  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Washington  is  carrying  on  this  work 
according  to  plans  and  specifications  of  its  own. 

The  Jurisprudence  Committee  made  a  report  limiting  the  time  between 
the  conferring  of  degrees  upon  candidates  to  two  weeks  unless  by  special 
dispensation  of  the  grand  master. 

The  report  of  the  Trustees  of  the  Masonic  Home  shows  that  there  were 
in  that  institution  during  the  year  a  total  of  fifty  members  who  were  main- 
tained at  a  cost  of  $17,923.00.  The  farm  earned  $7,327.00  of  which  pro- 
duce to  the  value  of  $5,677.00  was  used  in  the  Home. 

The  grand  orator,  Tom  W.  Holman,  delivered  an  oration  on  the  after- 
noon of  the  second  day.  It  was  general  in  character  with  many  Masonic 
references. 

Several  memorials  were  presented  to  deceased  brethren  of  the  jurisdic- 
tion, all  of  which  are  quit«  lengthy  but  show  that  the  Grand  Lodge  of 
Washington  is  disposed  to  pay  tribute  to  its  honor  dead. 

The  grand  treasurer  who  had  been  elected  for  twenty-one  successive 
years  declined  re-election  and  received  a  vote  of  thanks  for  the  services 
he  had  rendered  the  grand  lodge. 

The  Board  of  Custodians  of  the  Work  recommended  that  the  flag  should 
have  a  place  of  honor  in  the  East  of  every  lodge  and  offered  a  short  cere- 
mony relating  to  it. 

The  Committee  on  Finance  presented  a  very  complete  report  making 
appropriations  under  the  budget  system  for  the  various  departments  of 
the  grand  lodge. 

The  grand  secretary's  salary  is  fixed  at  $3,000.00  per  year  with  a 
liberal  allowance  for  office  assistants. 

A  resolution  was  sent  to  the  Jurisprudence  Committee  raising  the  num- 
ber of  candidates  to  receive  the  degrees  at  one  time  from  five  to  ten.  The 
committee  concurred  in  the  resolution  having  stipulated  that  the  grand 
master  must  issue  his  dispensation  before  a  lodge  would  be  permitted  to 
increase  the  number. 

The  installation  ceremonies  were  the  closing  event  of  the  session  after 
which  the  grand  master  was  presented  with  a  solid  gold  watch,  chain  and 
charm. 

The  report  on  foreign  correspondence  is  prepared  by  Ealph  C.  Mc- 
Allister.    It  is  brief  and  directly  to  the  point. 


Masonic  Correspondence  131 

He  refers  in  very  terse  sentences  to  the  principal  acts  of  our  session 
of  1919  and  a  paragraph  is  taken  from  the  correspondence  report  under 
Victoria  Australia  concerning  the  grouping  of  candidates  for  the  several 
degrees  from  which  it  is  inferred  that  Brother  McAllister  is  not  iniiiiicable 
to  the  group  system  of  conferring  degrees.

WESTERN  AUSTRALIA,  A.  F.  &  A.  M. 

1920 

This  particular  grand  lodge  holds  quarterly  communications.  Meeting 
as  it  does,  four  times  per  year,  its  transactions  are  more  or  less  divided  up, 
and  follow  very  closely  the  traditions  of  our  E'nglish  cousins.  It  appears 
from  the  proceedings  in  the  hands  of  the  writer  that  the  craft  in  this  far 
away  jurisdiction  is  in  a  most  excellent  condition  and  enjoying  the  same 
degree  of  prosperity  which  is  apparent  in  all  sections  of  the  world.  The 
usual  number  of  visitations  to  lodges  of  the  State  is  recorded  in  the  pro- 
ceedings. These  were  made  by  the  various  grand  lodge  officers.  The  grand 
lodge  exercises  very  strict  supervision  over  the  affairs  of  its  constituent 
bodies,  as  is  apparent  from  the  numerous  dispensations  which  were  issued, 
some  to  change  night  of  meeting  to  initiate  candidates,  or  night  of  election, 
and  to  confer  degrees  with  limitations,  whatever  they  may  be. 

Considerable  capital  is  made  out  of  the  fact  that  the  Prince  of  Wales 
has  been  initiated  into  the  fraternity  and  the  proceedings  said  that  this 
announcement  will  be  received  with  great  satisfaction  by  all  of  the  Free- 
masons of  the  Empire,  and  the  more  so  because  the  whole  procedure  in 
connection  therewith  was  carried  out  in  strict  conformity  with  the  book  of 
constitutions.  Much  stress  is  laid  upon  the  work  of  repatriation  and  the 
craft  is  everywhere  urged  to  do  their  full  share  towards  sustaining  those 
who  are  today  suffering  from  wounds  and  sickness  as  a  result  of  the  war. 

One  mighty  valuable  subject  was  considered  by  the  grand  lodge  during 
the  year  and  that  was  providing  Masonic  scholarships  in  various  schools  and 
universities  for  the  children  of  those  Masons  who  paid  tlie  supreme  sacrifice 
during  the  war. 

The  grand  secretary  received  a  very  substantial  increase  in  salary. 
From  the  various  tables  which  appear  it  is  apparent  that  the  Grand  Lodge 
of  Western  Australia  administered  to  charities  in  a  true  Masonic  manner, 


132  Appendix — Part  I 


for  the  sums  which  are  collected  are  generous  and  the  expenditures  by  no 
moans  meager.  It  appears  that  during  the  year  alterations  were  made 
to  the  offices  of  tlie  grand  lodge  and  the  same  are  now  reported  to  be  in 
excellent  condition. 

One  rather  interesting  item  is  gleaned  from  the  proceedings  and  relates 
to  social  evenings.  It  appears  that  since  the  close  of  the  "war,  a  number  of 
lodges  have  again  resumed  the  practice  of  holding  social  meetings  but  on 
some  occasions  ladies  have  appeared  before  the  candidates  had  retired  or 
the  lodge  been  closed.  This  led  the  Board  of  General  Purposes  to  pass  a 
ruling  that  when  a  lodge  proposes  to  indulge  in  a  social  evening,  there 
shall  be  no  work. 

It  appears  that  the  craft  in  Western  Australia  must  be  prospering,  for 
the  record  discloses  dispensations  issued  for  the  formation  of  new  lodges. 
One  rather  peculiar  incident  is  reported.  The  worshipful  master  refused 
to  initiate  a  candidate  and  the  members  present  declined  to  agree  with  his 
decision  and  passed  a  motion  that  his  wishes  be  disregarded  and  the  candi- 
date initiated.  The  Board  of  General  Purposes,  which  happened  to  be  in 
session  at  the  time,  was  appealed  to.  The  board  adjourned  and  visited 
the  lodge  and  after  ascertaining  the  circumstances  ordered  the  work  stopped. 
The  obstreperous  brethren  then  questioned  the  right  of  the  Board  of  Gen- 
eral Purposes  to  interfere  in  the  affairs  of  the  lodge  and  declared  that  only 
the  grand  master  himself  could  stop  the  proceedings.  The  grand  master 
was  appealed  to  and  issued  an  order  that  the  work  be  stopped  at  once  and 
the  whole  matter  resulted  in  the  suspension  from  the  fraternity  of  eight 
brothers  who  were  supposed  to  have  defied  supreme  authority.  The  matter 
finally  reached  the  grand  lodge  on  appeal  and  caused  a  regular  tempest, 
with  the  result  that  the  action  of  the  Board  of  General  Purposes  was  fully 
sustained. 

Fifty-four  lodges  in  Western  Australia  applied  to  the  grand  lodge  for 
exemption  from  the  payment  of  grand  lodge  dues,  assigning  as  a  reason  that 
their  members  were  in  active  service. 

The  grand  lecturer  in  his  report,  which  is  quite  extensive,  calls  attention 
to  remissness  on  the  part  of  certain  lodges  in  not  reciting  the  traditional 
historj'  of  the  third  degree  on  the  same  night  that  the  candidate  receives 
his  third  degree.  He  says  to  relate  it  two  or  three  months  afterwards, 
would  be  entirely  ineffective. 

It  is  apparent  that  in  Western  Australia,  the  legend  of  the  third  degree 
has  not  yet  been  dramatized  and  is  still  given  in  the  old  form  in  which  it 
was  first  used,  just  about  one  hundred  fifty  years  ago.  A  lot  of  brethren, 
who  seem  to  think  that  the  drama  with  its  character  actors  as  portrayed 


Masonic  Correspondence  133 

today,  has  been  haiitlcd  down  from  the  days  of  King  Solomon,  will  do  well 
to  take  note  of  this  fact. 

The  report  on  foreign  correspondence  covers  Illinois  for  1918  as  well 
as  for  1919.  The  reviewer  quotes  very  liberally  from  the  address  of  Grand 
Master  Austin  H.  Serogin  in  1918  and  fully  endorses  all  that  he  said  on  the 
subject  of  physical  qualifications.  Liberal  quotations  are  taken  from  the 
correspondence  report  of  this  writer,  while  the  reviewer  for  Western  Aus- 
tralia does  not  always  agree  with  what  was  said,  yet  he  has  been  very 
kind  in  a  good  many  instances  and  there  can  be  no  complaint.  In  the  review 
for  1919  the  reviewer  quotes  all  that  Grand  Master  Fitzgerrell  said  con- 
cerning the  death  of  Austin  H.  Serogin  and"  also  takes  his  opening  lines  on 
the  close  of  the  great  war.  Two  pages  are  given  over  to  quotations  from 
the  correspondence  report  of  1919,  in  which  liberal  quotations  are  taken 
and  some  criticism  accorded. 

In  reply  to  the  following  paragraph  which  appeared  last  year,  the  fol- 
lowing comment  is  made : 

"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. ' ' 

"For  the  information  of  our  brother  reviewer  we  might  say  that  we  have 
many  brethren  who  have  faithfully  served  the  craft  in  outlying  portions  of 
the  State,  at  a  distance  of  anything  from  500  to  lyOOO  miles  from  the  usual 
meeting  place  of  the  grand  lodge.  As  it  would  necessitate  a  journey  of 
anything  from  three  to  ten  days  for  these  brethren  to  attend  grand  lodge 
and  the  various  duties  thereof,  and  an  equal  time  to  return,  it  is  impossible 
for  them  to  fill  an  active  office  in  grand  lodge.  As  a  reward  therefore  for 
their  services  to  the  craft,  the  grand  master  exercising  the  authority  given 
under  our  constitution  conferred  upon  them  honorary  grand  lodge  rank." 

J.  D.  Stevenson,  G.S.,  Western  Australia. 


WEST  VIRGINIA,  A.  F.  &  A.  M. 

1920 

The  annual  communication  was  held  in  the  city  of  Huntington,  on  the 
tenth  day  of  November,  1920.  The  grand  lodge  was  opened  briefly  after 
which  the  representatives  of  other  grand  lodges  were  received  and  accorded 
the  grand  honors.  Illinois  was  represented  by  Fred  C.  Stcinbicker.  Wm.  K. 
Cowden,  grand  master,  presented  a  report  to  the  grand  lodge  which  covered 


134  Appendix — Part  I 


ten  printed  pages.  He  declared  the  state  of  the  order  to  be  most  gratify- 
ing and  says  that  West  Virginia  has  155  chartered  lodges  with  a  total 
membership  of  22,880.  The  net  gain  for  the  year  was  2,573.  Tributes 
of  respect  are  paid  to  the  dead  of  his  own  and  other  grand  jurisdictions. 

Seventy-one  requests  were  sent  by  grand  masters  of  other  jurisdictions 
to  confer  degrees  by  courtesy,  while  the  Grand  Lodge  of  West  Virginia  sent 
eighty-three  requests  for  courtesy  work  to  other  grand  jurisdictions. 

Grand  master  reports  issuing  twenty-one  special  dispensations,  all  of 
them  he  says  were  for  legitimate  purposes. 

Two  new  lodges  were  formed  during  the  year  and  proper  dispensations 
issued.  Four  decisions  are  rendered  by  the  grand  master,  one  was  that 
a  petitioner  having  moved  out  of  the  jurisdiction  of  the  lodge  after  pre- 
senting his  petition,  lost  his  right  to  election  and  the  lodge  should  return 
him  his  petition  and  money.  Another  decision  was  that  a  member  of  a 
lodge  could  have  his  name  changed  upon  the  records  of  the  grand  lodge  by 
presentation  of  a  court  record  showing  that  he  had  been  given  authority 
to  change  his  name. 

Mention  is  made  in  the  grand  master 's  report  of  the  funeral  of  Law- 
rence Washington,  the  last  of  the  Washingtons  to  be  born  in  Mount  Vernon. 
The  George  Washington  Memorial  Association  is  heartily  commended  and 
the  Grand  Lodge  of  West  Virginia  urged  to  do  its  full  share  in  assisting 
in  this  laudable  enterprise. 

Grand  Master  Cowden  is  very  frank  in  declaring  that  he  does  not  favor 
the  Masonic  Service  Association  and  states  that  no  matter  what  its  ex- 
pressed purposes  may  be  that  it  will  in  time  be  used  as  the  entering  wedge 
for  the  formation  of  a  general  grand  lodge. 

The  grand  treasurer  gives  his  receipts  at  $35,165.00  and  his  expendi- 
tures $37,558.00. 

The  report  of  the  grand  secretary  is  a  very  complete  document  and 
sets  forth  various  matters  pertaining  to  his  olSce. 

The  grand  lecturer  presents  a  report  in  which  he  refers  to  the  text  book 
having  enjoyed  an  unprecedented  sale.  Just  what  is  meant  by  the  textbook 
is  not  clear.    It  may  mean  a  cipher  ritual  and  it  may  mean  a  monitor. 

The  reports  of  the  district  deputy  grand  masters  go  much  into  detail 
concerning  the  various  acts  performed  by  them  during  the  year. 

It  cost  the  grand  lodge  $33,000.00  to  maintain  the  Masonic  Home  dur- 
ing the  year,  while  the  sum  of  $963.50  was  appropriated  from  the  charity 
fund  to  relieve  worthy  Master  Masons  and  their  families.     Two  hundred 


Masonic  Correspondence  135 

dollars  was  used  by  the  grand  lodge  to  help  educate  the  children  of  a  de- 
ceased member  of  one  of  the  lodges. 

The  Grand  Lodge  of  West  Virginia  is  to  be  commended  for  the  splendid 
work  which  it  is  doing  along  this  particular  line. 

The  Committee  on  Jurisprudence  made  a  very  brief  report  approving 
all  the  decisions  of  the  grand  master. 

Just  before  the  close  of  the  grand  lodge  a  resolution  was  introduced 
fixing  the  minimum  fees  of  degrees  at  $40.00.  This  will  come  up  for  action 
next  year.     The  election  and  installation  of  officers  closed  the  session. 

In  reviewing  the  proceedings  of  the  Grand  Lodge  of  West  Virginia  the 
writer  is  impressed  Avith  the  idea  that  the  grand  lodge  is  disposed  to  let 
well  enough  alone.  Most  of  the  reports  which  were  made  were  purely  per- 
functory and  relate  in  the  main  to  routine  matters.  It  is  apparent  that 
the  Grand  Lodge  of  West  Virginia  is  becoming  stabilized. 

George  W.  Atkinson  reviews  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Illinois  for  1919.  Ho 
quotes  in  full  what  Daniel  G.  Fitzgerrell  says  concerning  Sea  and  Field 
Lodge  of  New  York  City,  and  in  brief  terse  paragraphs  reviews  the  principal 
transactions  of  our  session  of  1919.  Almost  one  page  of  his  report  is 
given  up  to  a  quotation  from  the  oration  of  Edward  J.  Brundage.  He  is 
very  generous  to  the  Illinois  correspondent,  quoting  liberally  from  his  report 
and  refers  to  him  as  a  liberalist  on  the  subject  of  physical  qualifications. 
Brother  Atkinson  is  quite  right,  this  writer  is  by  no  means  one  of  the 
"  dyed  in  the  wool"  adherents  to  the  illegitimate  idea  of  physical  perfection.

WYOMING,  A.  F.  &  A.  M. 

1920 

The  forty-sixth  annual  communication  opened  in  the  city  of  Buffalo  on 
Wednesday  morning,  the  eighth  day  of  September. 

The  Committee  on  Credentials  reported  the  presence  of  all  grand  officers 
as  well  as  representatives  of  lodges. 

Among  the  telegrams  received  was  one  from  Brother  F.  C.   Barnett, 
past  grand  master,  dated  at  Peoria,  111. 


13G  Appendix — Part  I 


The  grand  master,  Arthur  K.  Lee,  presented  a  report  to  his  grand 
lodge  covering  twenty  pages  of  printed  matter.  He  opens  his  remarks  by 
referring  to  the  close  of  the  war  and  the  spirit  of  unrest  which  prevails  in 
this  country.  He  refers  to  Masonry  as  a  great  stabilizing  influence  pro- 
vided it  is  rightfully  understood  and  used.  The  grand  master  calls  attention 
to  the  fact  that  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Wyoming  joined  the  Masonic  Service 
Association  and  he  goes  to  some  length  in  explaining  the  object  and  purposes 
of  this  society. 

During  the  year,  the  grand  lecturer  resigned  and  the  work  had  to  be 
carried  forward  by  the  deputy  grand  lecturer.  Several  dispensations  were 
issued,  all  of  them  appearing  to  be  for  legitimate  Masonic  purposes. 

Quite  a  long  list  of  visitations  were  reported  by  the  grand  master  show- 
ing he  made  every  effort  to  get  out  among  the  lodges  in  his  jurisdiction  and 
affiliate  with  his  brethren. 

Twenty-two  so-called  decisions  were  rendered,  all  of  which  were  ap- 
proved by  the  Committee  on  Jurisprudence.  However,  none  of  the  so-called 
decisions  can  be  considered  as  out  of  the  ordinary  or  introducing  any  new 
construction  of  Masonic  law.  One  ruling  was  that  a  lodge  could  not  confer 
the  degrees  on  a  minister  for  less  than  the  lawful  sum  prescribed  by  the 
by-laws.  1 

Grand  Master  Lee  likes  the  Iowa  method  of  selecting  the  grand  master 
and  recommends  to  the  grand  lodge  that,  in  the  future,  the  grand  master 
be  selected  from  the  eligibles  and  that  less  attention  be  paid  to  rotation 
in  office.  This  simply  means  that  the  brother  who  is  most  diligent  in  his 
services  to  the  craft  will  be  the  most  likely  to  receive  the  honors  and  awards 
of  the  grand  lodge.  Among  other  recommendations  made,  is  the  one  that 
the  grand  master  be  provided  with  a  stenographer. 

The  grand  secretary  gives  quite  an  extended  report  wherein  he  goes 
into  detail  concerning  many  matters  relating  to  the  affairs  of  his  office.  He 
gives  the  total  number  raised  to  the  sublime  degree  of  Master  Mason  as 
722  and  the  present  membership  of  the  lodges  of  Wyoming  to  be  5,167. 
The  total  receipts  given  by  the  grand  treasurer  are  $7,500.00  and  his  expen- 
ditures $5,265.00.  The  Masonic  Home  fund  appears  to  be  growing,  judging 
from  the  report  of  the  trustees  for  they  show  the  sum  of  $19,100.00  now 
in  their  hands.  The  Committee  on  Finance  fixed  the  mileage  and  per  diem 
of  representatives.  Two  representatives  traveled  1,047  miles  and  drew  as 
compensation  $109.93. 

The  report  of  the  assistant  grand  lecturer  is  complete  and  disclosed 
the  activities  of  his  office  during  the  year.  He  proved  himself  to  be  diligent 
in  visiting  lodges  and  giving  them  proper  instruction. 


Masonic  Correspondence  137 

It  is  apparent  that  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Wyoming  is  getting  out  a  new 
monitor,  for  a  special  committee  make  a  report  on  that  subject. 

The  Jurisprudence  Committee  approve  practically  all  the  acts  of  the 
grand  master  and  delve  into  the  subject  of  titles  and  announce  the  proper 
title  of  the  presiding  officer  of  the  lodge  as  Worshipful  Master  and  grant 
him  the  right  to  sign  notices,  etc.,  in  that  capacity. 

A  supplementary  report  by  the  Jurisprudence  Committee  recommends 
that  the  grand  lodge  exact  a  per  capita  tax  of  $1,00  from  each  lodge  and 
a  librarian  be  appointed  to  look  after  the  grand  lodge  library  and  keep  it 
in  proper  condition. 

The  election  and  installation  of  officers  together  with  presentation  of 
the  jewel  closed  the  session. 

The  report  on  correspondence  is  prepared  by  Joseph  M.  Lowndes, 
grand  secretary.  He  treats  Illinois  very  courteously,  giving  it  three  pages 
of  very  generous  treatment.  He  quotes  liberally  from  the  address  of  the 
grand  master,  Daniel  G.  Fitzgerrell,  and  takes  quite  a  long  extraction  from 
the  oration  of  Edward  J.  Brundage.  A  liberal  quotation  is  taken  from 
Vvhat  this  writer  said  upon  the  subject  of  co-ordination. 

William  O.  Wilson,  G.M.,  Casper, 

Joseph  M.  Lowndes,  G.S.,  Casper.
