Talk by the Potentate

Dear Nobles:

A distinct honor is being bestowed upon the Nobility of Islam Temple by the visitation of our Imperial Potentate, Noble Ernest A. Cutts, who, in company with several officers of the Imperial Divan and other distinguished Nobles from various parts, will be in our midst in San Francisco on November 24th, 23th, and 26th. Noble Cutts is a gentleman of the southern type, coming from Georgia, and the Nobility will agree with me to the man that a more charming personality is rarely found. Our Imperial Potentate will devote a considerable part of his San Francisco stay with the Imperial Housing Committee in the selection of accommodations for the Imperial Divan and representatives, and we are confident that he will be well pleased, not alone with what San Francisco has to offer but also with the progress that has been made by the San Francisco 1922 Shrine .Commit- tee, of which our genial Past Potentate George Filmer is the chairman, and with the preparation of the Imperial Council Session to be held here next June.

/'//////^^' //./'Mf J /,

A detailed itinerary is publidm^ elsew^here herein, to which special attention is invited and a generous compliance tgp|^ program observed.

Three ceremonials have gone ii^a<9slam*s page of history since the issuance of our last bulletin, viz., Santa Cruz, San FrJ^fsco and Santa Rosa, and the enjoyment ef these affairs will remain a sweet memory to those who fended the same. Two more cere- monials, namely, Sacramento., on Novemb^ 2-^^ ^)^i^^ Jose on December 3rd, will conclude my activities as yourS^QMntate.

The Shrine Circus which tool attempted by Islam or w^itnessed 1^ this tremendous undertaking, the inc^s^' pn members who worked so untiringUr'/tjlbwa feelings, and w^hile those giving ofVthnr e: here, particular praise should standi pu(|p^«^< responsibility rested upon his shouiaeri

And now, dear Nobles, as my term of office as your Potentate is rapidly coming to a close, let me express to each and every one of you< my heartfelt appreciation of the splendid co-operation and good-will that you have shown me in my efforts to make this year a successful one for our own Islam. Without the splendid spirit manifested by our Nobility my service would have indeed been a difficult task in place of the pleasure and the honor that you have accorded me. To our uniformed organizations, our Band, Patrol, and Joseans, to the various committees and especially their chairmen, to the Executive Com- mittees throughout our jurisdiction in the State, my heartfelt gratitude especially goes out. And last, but by no means least, I desire to refer to my officers of the Divan who so patiently and loyally stood by me and always gave me so generously of their counsel and assistance. For the privilege of serving you 1 have been well repaid, if for no other reason than that of adding so materially to my list of friendships. Nobles, I have indeed been richly blessed, and to my successor may I bespeak for him that devotion and generous co-operation w^ith which you have endowed me. May Allah bless you I

Announcement in our last bulletin offered this entire course of six attrac- tions to the Nobility and their Ladies at a total cost of $5.00 each person.

THIS HAS NOW BEEN CHANGED

and all the remaining attractions will appear as scheduled without any cost whatever to any Noble of Islam Temple or his Lady. Each Noble and one Lady will be admitted on his Shrine Card at the door.

Two of the attractions have already appeared before large and well pleased audiences, but we have learned that our Club Room facilities are inadequate to accommodate all, so we have arranged to have the remaining attractions appear at

Dear Children :

You know what a good time we had last year. You remember the big Christmas Tree and Santa Claus and the presents and the candy and every- thing. We are glad to tell you that Santa Claus will again visit the Civic Audi- torium, Tuesday evening, December 20, 1921. This time, however, he will distribute the presents and candy to the children from the various Orphans' Homes of San Francisco. None of these children have a papa or a mamma to buy presents for them and so the children of the Nobles of Islam are going to stand aside and realize how much more pleasure it is to give than to receive. Notices will be sent later giving you details of the affair. The Potentate knows you will be glad to give the poor little orphans a good time and will see to it that Santa Claus does not forget to visit your home.

Yours for a Good Time,

POTENTATE OF ISLAM TEMPLE

Illustrious Potentate, Ararat Temple, Kansas City

Danger Ahead!

^TT HE close of 1 92 1 will determine Islam's position in numerical strength »fL among the Temples of our Order and from present indications and tabulations it appears that we may have to take a back seat to our fair competitor in Kansas City, Ararat Temple, over which genial Noble Fred C. Hoose presides as Potentate. While w^e have maintained our position of eighth in line for quite a few years, our Ararat friends have gone ahead with leaps and bounds from fifteenth place in 1919 to ninth in 1921. All good things must come to an end emd Ararat is now bucking her most formidable competitor. The stone wall of Islam must not crumble under this pressure. Let us reinforce ourselves by jumping into seventh place and let our good Middle Westerners battle with another for their achievements. Stalwart sons of Islam, let us put ourselves on the offensive instead of the defensive. We will have three more ceremonials this year, so the opportunity is presented to you to have your eligible friend sign the enclosed petition. $107.00 includes next year's dues and assessment. Should you know of a Noble of another Temple residing permanently within our jurisdiction, he will no doubt be pleased if asked to affiliate with us. There is no cost attached to transferring membership. Any officer of Islam will assist you in the procedure. But for the love of Allah, do it now! As much as we love our Ararat contestants, pride in Islam concedes no place.

SAN FRANCISCO SHRINERS' HOSPITAL FOR CRIPPLED

CHILDREN

^J^EFORE the end of the present year the work for the $225,000 Hospital I'ffl for Crippled Children in San Francisco will be started and before June of next year, when our city will be host to the Imperial Council, it is the hope of your committee that the hospital will be completed and in operation. This hospital is one of the first five of a number of hospitals that are to be built throughout the jurisdiction of the Shrine in North America, the other four being located at St. Louis, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Shreveport, La., and Montreal, Canada; in accordance with the plan adopted by the Imperial Council at Des Moines, last June, on the resolution introduced by Past Im- perial Potentate W. Freeland Kendrick of Lu Lu Temple.

JOHN D. McGILVRAY

Past Potentate, Islam Temple

Each of'these hospitals will be built from a standard plan adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Shriners' Hospitals for Crippled Children at their meeting held at Atlanta, Georgia, on September 23, 1921, and are the result of a study and wonderful co-operation of Miss Lillian Carter, Superintendent of the Crippled Children's Hospital of the Scottish Rite Masons at Atlanta, Georgia, and Noble Heinz, the architect who designed the above buildings.

The Hospital at Atlanta was built about five years ago and has since been in continuous operation, enabling those in charge to observe both the advan- tages and defects of their plans and equipment, so thus we are aided by their

Hospital for Crippled Chfldren (Continued), experience to have what is considered by orthopedic surgeons to be a model workshop for the correction of the deformities of children.

The management of this hospital will be under the control of a board of seven governors, appointed from the Nobility by the Board of Trustees for a term of three years. An orthopedic advisory board composed of Dr. Robert Osgood of Harvard University, Dr. McKenzie Forbes of McGill University, Dr. John C. Wilson of Los Angeles, Dr. Nat Allison of Washington Univer- sity, and Dr. Mike Hoke, Chief Surgeon, Scottish Rite Hospital for Crippled Children at Atlanta, Georgia, w^ill recommend to the Board of Trustees the name of the orthopedic surgeon to have charge of each hospital and this sur- geon will appoint his staff.

Until the funds of the Imperial Council permit the building of future hos- pitals, indigent crippled children under the age of fourteen from any section of the Pacific Coast, without restriction as to race or creed w^ill be treated and corrected at the San Francisco Hospital without fee or charge of any kind to them or their parents or guardians.

This is a relief work that seems to have been forgotten and it opens up a wonderful field for any Noble who wants to help and I am sure that to anyone who can see these little pieces of humanity transformed from helpless cripples to perfect children, as I have seen them, will feel thankful that they also havo the opportunity to assist in a work so fruitful of benefits to those so sorely needing.

The Assessments must be paid promptly. If convenient to you, would suggest that you pay several at once. Many Nobles pay five, ten, or even more. Bookkeeping and postage are saved when this is done. Also remember that the initial payment of $2.20 is the admittance fee and does not apply on your assessment account.

CIRCUS and ARABIAN FETE

m

•HAT to many of our Nobles was a questionable and doubtful undertaking has proven to be the biggest and most successful enterprise ever attempted by Islam Temple, and even though a great financial success the importance of the affair aside from the mbnetary gain is that San Francisco has been "sold" for 1922.

Reflect a moment. Approximately 200,000 people attended the Circus in nine days. Think what that means in publicity alone. Nothing like it was ever accom- plished in San Francisco before. A most wonderful and inspiring result of which we should all be duly proud because every Noble did his part to "put it over," thereby proving the great force of unified effort and concentrated action. The success of the afi^air finan- cially was beyond expectation and the following figures for the enlightenment of the Nobility will doubtless be interesting and gratifying.

Approximate attendance 200,000

Total receipts from all sources $167,132.07

Total Disbursements 79,890.45

Total Net Profit 87,241.62

Of this amount the promoters received $42,322.03, Islam Temple received $44,919.59.

Our contract called for 50% of the net profits but by reason of special concessions Islam Temple received $2597.56 more than the promoters did, which amount represents the net gain realized through operation of "The Oasis."

Some say the promoters received too much of the net gain, but before reaching such a decision consider it from this angle.

No great project is ever undertaken without expert and experienced help. A mountain railroad requires the technical knowledge of skilled engineers; a huge structure, the best architects procurable; and the ability and know^ledge involved is beyond the man w^ho is not a trained technical specialist. This is just as true in the conducting of the event just passed, and without the experience, advice and wonderful help that we bought and paid for no such achievement as we have realized could ever have been accomplished.

Another thing. Our net gain of $44,919.59 comes to us without the investment of one five-cent piece. We did not advance a penny and we were absolutely guaranteed against any possible loss. How could we possibly get a better proposition? And another thing while we are on the subject. We cannot say too much concerning the high per- sonnel of the men who came and helped us promote this entire affair. They were men of character, ability and reputation and possessed of unquestionable integrity. Inci- dentally, they w^ere members of Mecca Temple, New York, and mighty good Shriners at that.

CIRCUS AND ARABIAN FETE— Continued.

The conduct of the entire Circus was clean and businesslike in every detail. The accounting system adopted was complete and accurate and has been audited and verified by Hood and Strong, Certified Public Accountants, who have submitted a complete analysis and audit, which is now in possession of our Recorder for the perusal of any Noble of Islam Temple.

Meanwhile, let your eyes feast on the evidence w^hich is the result of nine days' operation of the Circus and about nine weeks of intense activity of the Committee which handled it.

SHRINE CIRCl

In conclusion, Islam Temple extends most sincere expressions of thanks and grati- tude to all those loyal Nobles, w^hose generous response and loyal support made possible the achievement we have realized. Personal mention w^ould consume too much space, as full recognition by this means would include our entire membership. Remember Nobles, great accomplishment is only realized by the unified and concentrated effort of all. Continue that spirit, for Islam, for 1922.

Chairman Entertainment Committee.

ATTENTION, NOBLES!

If you have not yet remitted for all Circus tickets that you sold, kindly do so at once and thus help your committee to wind up all loose ends. If you still have some tickets in your possession which you did not sell, just count and destroy them and notify the Shrine Circus Committee, Room 906, Santa Fe Building, so that all records may be cleared. All tickets must be accounted for and your immediate attention will be very much appreciated.

Shrine Pilgrimage De Luxe

SEATTLE TO THE ORIENT

by

NILE TEMPLE, SEATTLE

-^f^::^^L*.T::^

^^ILE TEMPLE, of Seattle, Washington, is going to make its fourth pil- •Ai grimage to the Orient, touching at points in Japan, China and the Philip- J^\ pine Islands, and staging Ceremonials in Manila and Shanghai.

A cordial invitation is extended to the Nobility everywhere, to join us on this most wonderful of all Shrine Pilgrimages. What more delight- ful trip could be planned than this, on board a magnificent ocean liner, to the mysterious home of the Oriental, and with Shriners and their wives as travel- ing companions.

We expect to sail about January 12 th or 14th on the U. S. Shipping Board's $8,000,000 twenty-thousand-ton steamer "The Keystone State," under the management of the Pacific Steamship Company, or Admiral Line, of Seattle. Round trip, sixty days. We will have about two days each way at Yokohama and Kobe in Japan, Shanghai and Hong Kong in China, and five to six days in Manila. The most delightful season of the year in the Orient is during the months of January, February and March, and we will arrive in Manila in time for the Annual Carnival, which is the event of the year in the Islands.

The appointments of'tTkissiniSnli^^a^'^Khitial and unsurpassed by any- thing on the Pacific, and sheJis equipped with powerful wireless. There are tea rooms, card rooms, reit^i^ma and dining ^ooms, as attractive as those in the best hotels of the countiT^, //?rSgompeten t doctoj^tbarber, manicurist, and stenographer are a par^fiTthe cre^^^^H^-^ five-piece jazz orchestra.

With regard to acc<MnniuJ^li|>^piMl3iJ^«ruIatioji~stateroom, the roimd trip ticket will range from $750.00 to $1(700.00 per person, depending upon whether you have room with or without bath. There are a few private suites with bath and trunk and maid's room accommodating five or six persons.

Leaving the middle of January will enable you to get your business closed for the year, and straightened away for 1922. Then, Ho! for sixty days of unalloyed pleasure, visiting new scenes and peoples, with all the com- forts daily of the best-appointed home or hotel.

Reservations should be made early, as travel to the Orient is aWays heavy at that time of the year.

For further information, w^rite or wire Frank B. Lazier, Recorder of Nile Temple, 5193 Arcade Building, Seattle, Washington.

Yours in the Faith,

FRANK B. LAZIER, Recorder. C. D. LEWIS, Potentate.

N. B. Potentate Ernest C. Hueter and Mrs. Hueter w^ill probably join this pilgrimage.
